00:00:30.000 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Rebel News livestream on this
00:00:40.200 a Friday, January 17th, 2025. I'm David Menzies, my co-host, but let me tell you a bit about my
00:00:48.460 co-host, shall I? Do you know, folks, today is National Popeye Day, and while my co-host and I
00:00:55.320 see eye-to-eye on so many things, not when it comes to Popeye licensing, which is to say
00:01:01.500 she patronizes the Popeye supplement store because she's so health-conscious. I patronize
00:01:09.400 the Popeye Louisiana chicken franchise. She is the she-devil with a sword. She is the Khaleesi
00:01:16.500 of Northern Alberta. She is the sensational Sheila Gunreed. How you doing there, Sheila?
00:01:25.320 I gotta tell you, though, you're looking great. Is that a three-piece suit? Your tie is beautiful
00:01:30.000 as well. Oh, well, thank you. And as the saying goes, it's fun to shop at Value Village,
00:01:35.340 and I am not joking about that. Yeah. Oh, my daughter is one heck of a thrifter. You look
00:01:43.440 great. That is a fantastic suit, and somebody else's donation was really fit for you. What a find. Good
00:01:50.220 for you. It is a three-piece. And I think, Sheila, honest to God, I think I paid 30 bucks, which- Get
00:01:55.820 out. Oh, it's a name-brand suit. 30 bucks wouldn't have been the tax component at retail. And, you know,
00:02:03.000 I tell that to people, you know, and by the way, there are treasure hunters that go to thrift stores.
00:02:10.700 Oh, I believe it. My daughter's one of them. Oh, you know, I once did a day in the life of a
00:02:15.820 secret shopper, you know, the people looking for shoplifters. And she told me that people phone in
00:02:21.920 advance, they find out when the new arrivals are coming, and the cars are in the parking lot
00:02:30.460 before the shop opens. And some of those cars, Sheila, BMWs, Mercedes-Benz, Audis, these are not
00:02:38.180 people struggling to get by. But I think everyone loves a bargain, and it's the thrill of the hunt.
00:02:43.400 So when you get a Chanel bag that retails for $850, and somehow they don't realize what it is,
00:02:50.860 and it's selling for 20 bucks, wow, even the filthy rich appreciate that kind of money. Although,
00:02:59.840 although I don't think Mark Carney would ever be seen in the parking lot of a value village.
00:03:06.340 Speaking of filthy rich.
00:03:08.560 And his Rolls Royce, which was not his at all.
00:03:10.580 Is that his Rolls Royce, Sheila? Do we know that for sure?
00:03:13.960 No, that was some high-level trolling, though, by somebody who rented it to pull up,
00:03:17.980 which is pretty funny. Pretty dang funny.
00:03:21.540 Brilliant.
00:03:22.740 Yeah, I should tell everybody what we're doing here.
00:03:24.780 Thank you.
00:03:25.220 But I have my own thrifting story to share with you.
00:03:29.380 So my friend Robbie Picard from Oil Sand Strong, he is a thrifter. Like, his house looks like the
00:03:36.520 inside of a 1970s whiskey commercial. Like, it's all just, like, oak and brown and rich. And you
00:03:45.460 can't find a lot of that these days. So you have to go sort of in the decades of yore to find those
00:03:51.320 things. And to travel into the decades of yore, you have to sometimes go to thrift and antique
00:03:55.500 stores. And so we try to do that a little bit when he's in town. We bought a jug, like, quite
00:04:01.200 literally a jug of watches. I think it was like 20 bucks for a jug of watches. Because he's like,
00:04:06.000 I bet you there's something good in there. Well, wouldn't you know it? I ended up with a Michael
00:04:10.760 Kors watch, a highly collectible Michael Kors watch. And it's, you know, like, I like to go old
00:04:17.160 school with my watches. I don't like the technology of the newfangled watches. I like an old school
00:04:22.720 watch and then I have my Samsung ring. So I don't, I don't reject that. But I found a very
00:04:28.640 highly sought after Michael Kors wrap watch with a big face, which I like, inside our $20 jug of
00:04:36.160 watches. Unbelievable. Sheila, let me give you my favorite thrift story. It didn't happen at a thrift
00:04:43.040 store. It happened at a garage sale. It goes back to the 80s. And I heard this story on the radio. So
00:04:48.280 I'm going to try to remember as much as I can. I think it took place in Virginia. And this lady
00:04:54.120 bought a painting for $3. And she took it home. Now, I know everyone's jumping to the conclusion,
00:05:01.660 oh, this is a masterpiece, a long forgotten masterpiece. You know, and that kind of stuff
00:05:06.740 does happen, Sheila. But no, the reason she bought the painting was for the frame. She had another
00:05:12.240 painting that would fit perfectly in the frame. So she gets out the exacto knife to cut the painting
00:05:17.940 out and plop. All these old dusty papers fall onto the table. Turns out it was one of the original
00:05:26.940 13 copies of the US Declaration of Independence. It goes to auction more than 2 million bucks later.
00:05:35.980 She's got a treasure cat smile. How do you like that? And here's the ethical question. When you cash
00:05:41.760 out like that, Sheila, would you go back to the lady who was having the garage sale and said, listen,
00:05:47.360 you didn't know what Burry Treasure... I'm going to cut you a check for $100,000 because you're making
00:05:53.840 over two... I would probably. You would? Yeah, I think I would too.
00:05:56.360 Yeah. But I'd love to know what our audience has to say, especially the cheapskates out there.
00:06:01.940 It's finders, keepers, losers. I know. I don't... I just... I don't know if I could screw over a lady
00:06:07.340 like that. You know, like she didn't know. Exactly.
00:06:10.000 Yeah, I don't know. But anyways, let's tell everybody what we're doing here. This isn't
00:06:13.860 the Antiques Roadshow with David and Sheila. Because only one of us is an antique. But this
00:06:20.920 is the Rebel Roundup. How dare you?
00:06:24.060 It airs Monday, then midweek, I think, and then Friday. And we talk about the news of the day
00:06:31.340 completely unscripted, as you can tell. But the beauty of Rebel Roundup is that you can get involved
00:06:37.620 too. So if you're watching us on the censorship platform of YouTube, thanks for sticking it out
00:06:41.160 over there. We love you for it. But if you want to support the work that we do, without having
00:06:47.380 Justin Trudeau or whoever is running the country right now, does anybody even know, reach into
00:06:52.000 your pocket and force it out of there like he does with the mainstream media. Can you move
00:06:58.060 your patronage over to Rumble? It's a great free speech platform, very similar to YouTube
00:07:04.340 in the interface. But it has an extra special added bonus of not caring what you think about
00:07:13.640 certain issues. They allow you to speak your mind. And they allow you to support us through
00:07:17.520 something called Rumble Rant. That's their paid chat over there. If your Rumble Rant to
00:07:22.900 us is over the $5 US cutoff, we are obligating ourselves to read it on air. But don't let that
00:07:28.620 be the bar for entry. Because as you know, every little bit helps us here at Rebel News. And
00:07:33.300 we frequently take the time to read the rants that are under the $5 US mandatory for reading
00:07:40.480 cutoff. So that's it. We've got a lot to talk about. I suffered through quite possibly
00:07:45.540 the most boring announcement of an exciting issue in my entire life. A lot of people I
00:07:56.020 don't think knew why they were there, or who they were there to see. In fact, the lady
00:08:00.860 who introduced Mark Carney slash George Chahal, she's like, I just Googled them. So I just
00:08:07.520 here I am. But they needed it. They needed an old indigenous lady. So they're like, she'll
00:08:13.060 do. She doesn't know why she's here, but she'll do.
00:08:15.340 Just in case, Sheila, our audience thinks you're making a joke, a premature April Fool's
00:08:20.480 joke. No, let's dig it up. It's, it's, um, uh, Canada Proud had it. So let's if you can
00:08:29.500 want to find that Canada Proud has it at the Mark Carney event yesterday. Good grief. Uh,
00:08:35.900 that was probably the most exciting thing that happened. Actually, that's not true. Throwing
00:08:39.540 out the independent journalists was actually the most important, exciting thing that happened.
00:08:44.280 Everything else was boring after that. Really boring. Uh, but they trotted out this indigenous
00:08:51.140 lady here to kick off the campaign launch to be the prime minister in Edmonton, which
00:09:00.860 is a liberal party wasteland. And it's no wonder they couldn't find somebody who knows who Mark
00:09:06.140 Carney was, because we don't care about liberals here in Canada, except insofar as we don't want
00:09:10.480 them. Uh, but they found this lady who was willing to just take to the podium. I guess
00:09:15.100 maybe her, uh, bridge partner didn't show up at the senior center. And so they brought
00:09:22.480 her to the Carney event, but this, look at this. She has no idea why she's there.
00:09:26.040 I would like to say a special prayer for Mr. Carney. Cause he's going to need prayers to be strong.
00:09:35.480 I just met him today. I have never met him, but I Googled him. I would like to say a special
00:09:43.300 prayer for me. She's Googled him. Sheila, this is a triple fail. First of all, I think the lowest
00:09:51.060 benchmark of introducing somebody you should know who they are and maybe have actually met them
00:09:57.340 and the phrase, um, he's going to need prayers. That's what you would say for somebody who's back
00:10:05.820 is against the wall, kind of like a, a team in a, a best of seven series and they're down,
00:10:11.380 you know, three games to zero. Uh, yeah, you need prayers because the chances of coming back from that
00:10:16.420 are very remote. And then, oh, I Googled them, right? I Googled them. Uh, the guy, uh, he's not
00:10:25.460 exactly an unknown. This is member of the outsider who advises the president, the prime minister of
00:10:31.780 Canada, uh, the prime minister of the UK and the president of France. I think that's about as
00:10:37.860 inside as you can get. And she has to Google that. Well, that shows that she's not an engaged
00:10:45.920 liberal operative. So I guess that means she's a smart lady. Um, but this was the best the liberals
00:10:53.380 could do. And then they, uh, they had George Chahal introduce them. So they brought in the other
00:11:01.760 liberal from Alberta because Randy or one of the Randys has decided to endorse Chrystia Freeland.
00:11:08.440 So he's the Edmonton liberal who will lose his seat. Undoubtedly will lose his seat. Um,
00:11:16.760 he's going to lose his seats and he's already decided to endorse Chrystia Freeland. I can't
00:11:21.260 believe she wanted that endorsement, but whatever. Um, and so they brought up George Chahal from Edmond
00:11:26.780 to do the, to do the campaign kickoff in, or they brought him from Calgary to do the campaign
00:11:31.560 kickoff in Edmonton. And as you'll recall, he's a porch pirate. So, so he's the guy who stole all
00:11:40.120 the lit from the, uh, conservative candidate in his riding. He was stealing it out of mailboxes.
00:11:46.260 And then, oh, my favorite part of this whole thing is he starts listing off all the things that are
00:11:53.100 wrong in Canada. And I'm like, George, the phone calls coming from inside the house. You guys did that.
00:12:01.560 Oh, memories of black Christmas. Uh, Sheila, um, by the way, uh, sometimes we are in the position
00:12:10.060 of breaking news on the live stream and such as the case right now, a posting literally a minute ago,
00:12:16.360 uh, and let's give credit where it's where credit is due. It's from Joe Warmington,
00:12:21.680 the ACE reporter at the Toronto sun. He has just filed a story. Um, if we can get the podium of the
00:12:29.960 Mark Carney presser, uh, back up on the, uh, screen, um, here's the headline minutes into launching
00:12:38.780 bid for PM Mark Carney told to cease using campaign logo. He's received a cease and desist letter
00:12:48.200 from Metcredit. It's almost a mirror image. And you know, Sheila, again, this doesn't speak,
00:12:56.340 um, of being cheap. I don't think, uh, cause Carney's loaded, but it speaks of incompetence
00:13:04.480 that, you know, a lot of thought goes into or should go into a logo, especially if this is going
00:13:11.160 to be your symbol for years, decades moving down the road. And you see that to me, it's almost a
00:13:17.640 little ripoff of the Petro Canada, uh, logo, but there's a company called Metcredit and, um,
00:13:24.320 they've sent a cease and desist letter. So I wonder, does Mark Carney, uh, lawyer up or, uh,
00:13:31.240 is that the last we've seen of that logo? Uh, I'm not sure, but Metcredit tweeted to Mark Carney
00:13:37.700 yesterday when he said, I'm in, um, they said, uh, okay, thanks Mark, but we're a political,
00:13:44.820 yeah. Beautiful logo Mark, but we're a political and then signed at Brian Sommerfeld. So, uh,
00:13:50.420 someone who works, uh, and by the way, this, like I'm in, that's just right for Photoshop.
00:13:56.600 Like I'm whatever, like you can, so not very bright all around from Mark Carney, but yeah,
00:14:03.300 like his campaign didn't do like a quick logo check or anything like that. I'm actually shocked
00:14:08.560 that they sent him a cease and desist because this is Mark Carney. I'm surprised he didn't send
00:14:14.520 them a cease and desist. Great point. Um, given the way in which, um, banks are federally regulated
00:14:22.440 and we saw the ultimate disgrace of the banks by freezing bank accounts back in 2022, which they
00:14:29.020 did not have to do contrary to what the banking association tells you folks. The insurance companies
00:14:35.720 were ordered to cancel the, um, auto insurance policies of the truckers. And they said, no,
00:14:41.800 they haven't broken any law. They they're not, uh, defaulting on their premiums. So no. And okay.
00:14:48.700 So the banks could have taken a principled and righteous stance and they did, but I never thought
00:14:54.580 of it, you know, good for you, Sheila, for thinking about what met, um, uh, credit might be getting
00:15:01.160 into, but at the end of the day, I'm looking at the two logos, Sheila, and they're very much
00:15:07.360 super similar. Met credit has a legitimate beef. Of course they do. Of course they do. And I can't
00:15:14.000 imagine met credit credit wants their horse hitched to that cart as it plummets over the cliff.
00:15:20.720 Like I just, whatever, but like good for them. Good for them. Uh, way to punch up guys. Um,
00:15:28.000 let's get into the campaign launch. Cause we are a 60 minutes and we haven't really shown anything.
00:15:33.120 Uh, Carney told a very bored and unelectric crowd. Like I've been to poly of events and it is young.
00:15:41.720 It's energetic. It's diverse. If you care about those things, it like the energy in the room is,
00:15:47.400 and I've, I've been to a lot of political events and it is exciting. And it is like old people,
00:15:53.540 young people. Uh, you can tell that people are rich. You can tell that there are blue collar people,
00:15:57.880 people coming like straight from their job as a welder or whatever. They're like, it's very,
00:16:02.840 and it's packed. Uh, this was nap time at the nursing home in Edmonton. Um, anyways, uh,
00:16:12.740 here's a clip of Mark Carney telling the crowd that the good times are all gone. Now he neglects to tell
00:16:18.440 the crowd that, um, the, who pissed away the good times that would be the liberals and who advised them
00:16:25.320 how to do it. That would be him. So let's, let's show this. We're so glad you're here.

00:16:56.680 my friends are over. Our times are anything but ordinary.
00:17:05.980 The system, it's not working as it should. And it's not working as it could. People are anxious.
00:17:21.620 No wonder. Too many are falling behind. Too many young people can't afford a home. Too many people
00:17:29.840 can't find a doctor. And then we're living through the two biggest technological revolutions since
00:17:37.700 they split the atom. And our climate is changing in ways that threatens livelihoods from Fort Mac to
00:17:43.720 Fort Smith. And then on top of that, as George just mentioned, in just four days, the United States
00:17:51.960 will swear in Donald Trump as their 47th president. A man who threatens economic force on his
00:17:59.760 closest, most steadfast allies, including Canada. No.
00:18:08.100 Yeah, I wonder why that would be. Maybe we're not living up to our NATO commitments and have no
00:18:14.520 intention of doing so until 2032. Maybe because the border is open for illegal aliens and fentanyl.
00:18:24.480 Not as great as the southern border, which is an absolute sieve. And already Donald Trump,
00:18:29.680 not even an office, is getting results. And Sheila, you are right. Nap time at the Old Folks Lodge.
00:18:36.660 Did you see that poor kid in the Oilers jersey? I thought he was going to pass out. He was trying to
00:18:42.640 stay upright. And he was slouching over and his eyes were going to the back of his head.
00:18:48.420 What, you know, who brought their kid to this snore fest?
00:18:51.480 I have two cups of coffee in my office as we speak. And I brought them down here knowing that I
00:18:59.620 would have to re-listen to Mark Carney because that was like having to donate blood. It was like
00:19:09.920 all your energy just left your body. I called him an energy vampire suckling at me through the screen of
00:19:17.320 my laptop. And I had to watch it a couple times because I cut the clips yesterday. Boring. But
00:19:22.780 if you cut through the absolute snore fest of that, all the things he lists are things that he
00:19:33.180 is responsible for. The two major economic issues of the Trudeau government that have been mishandled
00:19:41.740 by him. COVID and just economics in general. So if you're worried about inflation, that's his
00:19:49.980 overspending. If you thought the fall economic update was a disaster, that's him. If you thought
00:19:59.220 that the government overspent during COVID and it caused inflation, that's him. If you are worried
00:20:04.780 about the carbon tax making life unaffordable, that's him. These are his issues. He did this.
00:20:12.440 Now he's pointing out, yeah, guys, it's tough out there. Yeah, I know you made it tough, buddy. It was
00:20:18.160 like you. Trudeau is really an empty vessel, right? People just pour their dumb ideas into him and he
00:20:24.980 thinks they're good. And then he repeats them. The dumb ideas coming at Justin Trudeau, well,
00:20:31.600 the headwaters of them that flow down to him are the World Economic Forum and Economic Forum people
00:20:39.260 like Mark Carney whispering in his ear like some Rasputin. Rasputin? Rasputin? I don't know how
00:20:46.640 you say it. But that's who he is. That's who Carney is. So if you think you're getting something
00:20:52.080 different, you're getting more of the same. In fact, I got to give the liberals credit. If they pick
00:20:55.480 Carney, they're just cutting out the middleman. Yeah, that's a great point, Sheila. But you know what?
00:21:00.260 The message stinks. But more to the point, the delivery of the message also stinks because
00:21:06.900 where's the sizzle? I mean, as much as Mark Carney was denouncing Donald Trump, he should tune into the
00:21:13.720 Trump rally in D.C. on Sunday, the day before inauguration, and get an idea how it's done. I
00:21:19.780 mean, the atmosphere at a Trump rally is electrifying. And Trump is just, you know,
00:21:26.120 he's not reading off a teleprompter or script. He's just, you know, speaking off the cuff.
00:21:32.760 He's making jokes and good jokes at that. Donald Trump doesn't get enough credit for his sense of
00:21:38.400 humor. And it's kind of funny because as much as the Jon Stewart show, I thought, you know, was like,
00:21:45.060 what's he doing there? At least he came across Sheila as comfortable in that environment. And he was
00:21:55.120 making jokes. What happened at this Edmonton presser? You could have heard a needle drop.
00:22:00.820 There was nobody clapping, even at the times where they're supposed to clap. I'm mystified at how that
00:22:06.740 happened, especially since Carney has the resources to astroturf that room, have people come in like
00:22:15.080 paid actors, plants. You'd have to fly him in. This is Edmonton. Yeah, well, he's got that cash.
00:22:20.640 Yeah. Um, at one point he tried a joke. Actually, he tried to, and the crowd audibly groaned. He said
00:22:30.280 something like, we're going to give a plan, not slogans. No, like they were like, I just was like,
00:22:40.340 just give me, give me something for the cringe and let me die. Like it was just so bad. There's,
00:22:48.040 he did take a swipe at premier Daniel Smith and I know Olivia wants to move ahead, but, uh, I think
00:22:53.360 it's a pretty short clip. He come like he comes to Alberta. This is a liberal wasteland to crap on our
00:23:00.640 premier who's standing up for our jobs, but 550,000 jobs across this country supported by oil and gas.
00:23:08.500 Listen to this. Let me tell you one other thing. In these times, sending Pierre Poliev to negotiate
00:23:16.420 with Donald Trump is the worst possible idea. I can think of one other politician I might not send.
00:23:26.220 Oh, who? It just came to me in the last 24 hours.
00:23:31.860 Oh, he means Daniel Smith. I thought he was talking about Justin Trudeau.
00:23:41.520 No, he means Daniel Smith, the woman who is friendly with the Trump administration.
00:23:46.300 That's how stupid these liberals are. They're like, let's send somebody that Trump really hates to see
00:23:51.020 if we can get something good out of him. That's how dumb he is. You don't come to Alberta and crap on
00:23:56.580 the premier who's fighting for our jobs like that. Just completely idiotic. Um, but I know why he
00:24:03.500 launched in Alberta is because he wanted to be Alberta's man. He didn't want Freeland to do it,
00:24:08.940 who is now being forced to launch in Toronto. And Sheila, that is the question, right? Um,
00:24:14.100 do you buy into the narrative that this, uh, liberal leadership race is really a coronation
00:24:20.680 for, uh, Mr. Carney or with the announcement now officially, uh, well, unofficially she'll make
00:24:27.720 the official announcement on Sunday in Toronto. Now that Fraulein Freeland says she wants the gig,
00:24:33.680 uh, is this going to be a legitimate race? I don't even care. It's going to be whatever the outcome
00:24:40.120 is. It's exactly the same. It's more Justin Trudeau like Freeland's son's godfather is Carney
00:24:45.920 and Justin Trudeau's chief advisor on everything is Mark Carney. So like, it's a big incestuous
00:24:54.260 triangle. You throw Gerald Butts and his wife in the mix and both work at Eurasia Group. Correct.
00:24:59.740 Uh, so I mean, like what's the difference? Like who cares? It's just more of the same for Canada.
00:25:05.880 Um, we want to talk about, I know we really want to bump ahead because we have a hard out,
00:25:09.660 um, at two, but let's talk about, uh, let's talk about what happened to the independent journalists
00:25:15.540 there. So from what I, from what I understand late last night, independent journalists accidentally
00:25:21.800 got accredited by the Carney camp. And again, it, this is exactly the same, uh, meet the new boss.
00:25:30.400 Same as the old boss. Uh, Justin Trudeau did it to you. His security detail roughed you up,
00:25:38.000 throws us out of events, Freeland, the other contender rough you up on the streets. No big
00:25:44.040 deal. Well, guess what happened to the independent journalists at Carney's launch? If you think this
00:25:48.420 is going to be any different going forward, do you think this is a guy who believes in civil liberties?
00:25:53.320 Definitely not. I think Alberta is one of the freest places for journalists to work in this entire
00:25:57.720 country. Uh, we have a premier who believes in speaking to independent journalists and she believes
00:26:02.560 in free speech. And then along comes Carney. He, uh, anyways, I'll show you this
00:26:07.920 video from Kian Bexty, our alumnus who now runs counter signal. Carney called the cops on him
00:26:14.120 and, uh, Western standard headed journalists there and, uh, true North. So let's take a look
00:26:19.960 at this. Oh, that's the, by the way, that's the Rolls Royce that rolled up. Yes. Now it was
00:26:24.380 initially reported by, well, I'm not sure if Kian actually said that he just said a Rolls Royce
00:26:29.360 rolled up and then everybody assumes that it was Carney's including me. But as it turns out,
00:26:34.660 it wasn't Carney's, nobody got out. It was just a big, beautiful troll. And, uh, which is,
00:26:41.140 you know, the fact that everybody believes that Carney got out of it is exactly what we think
00:26:45.480 of Carney. So whatever, but look at what they did to the journalists.
00:26:50.260 Do you guys have a question? Have you been advised to leave? By nobody who's identifying themselves.
00:26:57.620 They're just random. All right. A dude came up and said that this fellow as well. We're just,
00:27:03.080 if some, if we have to leave, I'm happy to leave. But nobody is from whoever's book. This has told
00:27:08.120 us that they're actually an authority figure, just people that I think don't like us. So.
00:27:12.060 Okay. You are trespassing. So. Oh, okay. Okay. All right. Do you want to come out this way so you don't walk in front of all of them?
00:27:19.320 I don't, I don't. Sure. Yeah. Okay. Happy to have you. Yep.
00:27:24.660 Okay.
00:27:29.580 Hi, George. Have you stolen anything lately?
00:27:37.200 Back this day. Okay. Sorry. We're actually going to go with this. Oh.
00:27:50.700 This way. This way, sir. This way.
00:27:52.280 That's Western standards right there. This is the weirdest, uh, I've ever been treated.
00:27:58.360 If you want to keep holding me, you'll have to be off the community property.
00:28:01.380 We'll have to pick up our car. And is that okay? Where is it?
00:28:03.940 It's just in the parking lot. We can drive, but thank you.
00:28:07.060 Oh, sure. Yeah.
00:28:09.940 So the, the entire community center has trespassed us or was it the campaign?
00:28:14.980 It's the private event. Yeah. The private event.
00:28:16.800 Okay. But they haven't booked this like playground.
00:28:19.500 No, but it is part of the property. So we're going to get you to see off the property.
00:28:23.780 Okay.
00:28:25.960 You're free to film from there, but.
00:28:27.380 Sure. Yeah. Well, thanks for being so professional about this. It's strange, uh, treatment from someone who wants to be the prime minister of this country.
00:28:37.060 And where's your, uh, just right up ahead here.
00:28:47.160 Yeah. Yeah. There's my car. It's the stretch, uh, Rolls Royce silver shadow.
00:28:52.560 You know, it's too bad. Kian wasn't given permission, uh, to go onto the playground. What, what a photo op that would be, Sheila. He's on the swing set and, you know, Kian Bextie for the counter signal here in Edmonton, in the playground.
00:29:06.380 On the monkey bars. On the monkey bars.
00:29:09.360 On the monkey bars.
00:29:11.540 Imagine that that's how your campaign launch in Edmonton starts off. You know, Ed, Alberta is the home of independent journalism in this country. Really it is. I mean, Rebel News is headquartered in Toronto and you do great work, but we have, uh, we have a government here that treats us with the respect that we deserve as journalists.
00:29:30.960 Um, and then he comes in to treat us the way Ottawa does. Isn't that just exactly the liberals, right?
00:29:39.120 A hundred percent.
00:29:39.540 Just come in here with their Ottawa attitude to colonize us.
00:29:42.860 But Sheila, here's the $64,000 question. What was the ostensible policy reason for denying them access and calling the cops?
00:29:51.780 Especially since Kian and those other journalists were accredited. They weren't crashing some private event. They reached out, they got their credentials, and they showed up.
00:30:04.500 Do we know at this stage what the official reason, well, we know what the real reason is.
00:30:10.280 Carney hates independent journalists as much as Trudeau and Fraulein Freeland. Carney doesn't want to have to answer hard questions.
00:30:19.000 He's only going to get softballs from the mainstream media trained SEALs, but they're not going to say that, of course.
00:30:25.620 They're not going to be honest. So what was the reason for credentialed journalists being approved?
00:30:33.180 Suddenly we got to call the cops on it. Has that been reported yet?
00:30:37.780 No, no. And nobody's going to ask him. So, well, that's not to say that nobody will ask him.
00:30:42.540 I'm sure Counter Signal has probably sent a media request, but they're not going to hear back.
00:30:47.420 And you know the mainstream media isn't going to ask that question.
00:30:50.740 They're just happy their competitors weren't in there. And so they don't care.
00:30:54.280 Like, if I saw somebody booting the CBC out of an event, I would be like, hey, no, you know what?
00:31:01.000 They can stay. They're journalists. I don't like them, but they should be able to stay.
00:31:05.140 You know, who didn't say a down word about them being kicked out? The mainstream media.
00:31:10.080 Yep. Yeah. No, I've been in these situations and I once reached out to, it was every national brand of mainstream media.
00:31:20.360 And I said, hey guys, how about a little solidarity here?
00:31:24.060 And you know what they said? Silence. Nothing.
00:31:27.620 Couldn't even make the case. You know, I would prefer, well, here's why we think you should be kicked out because I'd be educated.
00:31:36.220 I'd get some understanding why I'm persona non grata, you know, but no, Sheila, it's so obvious.
00:31:44.800 We're being paid by a federal government sugar daddy.
00:31:48.960 We're in a sunset industry. We're losing viewers and listeners and readers.
00:31:54.640 We're losing advertisers. Those who remain are getting ads at 10 cents on the dollar compared to what they charged 15 or 20 years ago.
00:32:03.420 And without the welfare, we are toast.
00:32:06.840 I mean, does a month go by where Bell Media is not making yet another announcement of more layoffs and that's with the government funding?
00:32:15.380 So the fixes in, the second thing I want to say is because I'm one of the few people at Rebel News that actually went to journalism school back in the day.
00:32:23.660 And I have a journalism degree and I've taken all the courses and I've read all the media books.
00:32:29.540 And it's this, in terms of ethics 101, Sheila, that's a conflict of interest.
00:32:36.420 How can you be expected to fairly and impartially cover the government while you're taking money from the government?
00:32:43.980 That, you know, if my old journalism professors back in the Ryerson days in the early 80s had seen this happening, they would pass out with a heart attack, Sheila.
00:32:54.760 This is so, you know, out of bounds.
00:32:58.500 But it's the new normal here in Canada, isn't it?
00:33:01.860 This is why I hardened my heart to journalistic layoffs.
00:33:04.700 And normally when I see people getting laid off, I'm like, you know what?
00:33:07.440 Those are families.
00:33:08.120 Even if I don't like those people, they have innocent kids and wives and whatever.
00:33:12.520 But I'm all out of caring.
00:33:15.720 I'm all out of caring for these people.
00:33:17.500 I've got an ad read.
00:33:18.280 We've got a bunch of chats to get to.
00:33:19.780 We want to get to those.
00:33:20.980 And then we've got to get on to the next topic.
00:33:23.300 And Olivia reiterates to me, hard out at 2 o'clock.
00:33:27.180 So positive.
00:33:28.980 If you have a dog, we've all been there.
00:33:30.420 Our pup goes from full of energy to sick and miserable in an instant and at the worst of times.
00:33:34.740 Then we're calling vets in the middle of the night or on the weekends, trying to find a clinic that will take us in.
00:33:39.320 It's a terrible way to manage your dog's health, not to mention your stress levels and your monthly budget.
00:33:43.500 That's why people are getting the Pet Emergency Kit by Positive.
00:33:46.400 That's P-A-W-S-I-T-I-V-E.
00:33:49.180 Very cute.
00:33:50.940 It contains critical medications and supplies that can not only keep you out of the veterinary office, but may even save your dog's life.
00:33:57.260 Their kit contains critical medications like activated charcoal, styptic powder, and more.
00:34:02.020 This is an essential.
00:34:03.400 If you have a dog like mine who loves Smarties for some reason, it can save your dog's life.
00:34:08.860 Head over to positive.com and use code studio to get 15% off your pet emergency kit.
00:34:14.460 Okay.
00:34:14.660 I'm just going to breeze through some of these chats because, wow, we're getting a few today.
00:34:18.500 And thank you so much for that.
00:34:20.600 Ryerson Gary gives us five bucks.
00:34:22.640 It says, U.S.
00:34:23.660 Dairy corporations, yes, corporations get monthly checks.
00:34:26.840 And after Monday from Donald Trump to overproduce.
00:34:29.480 Proportionately, they dump more than we do.
00:34:31.020 Wisconsin can supply Canada at no cost.
00:34:36.080 Quite frankly, I don't really care what the Americans do.
00:34:39.500 I care that Canadians suffer from inflated dairy prices.
00:34:45.140 And it is the poor who suffer the most because of the dairy cartel.
00:34:51.420 Okay.
00:34:52.540 Ware 403 gives us 20 bucks.
00:34:54.860 Well, thank you so much.
00:34:56.040 Carney is a pretty old guy.
00:34:57.180 So I wonder if he can, oh, gross.
00:34:58.980 I wonder if he can get it up to penetrate the government that Klaus Schwab and the WEF needs.
00:35:04.700 That's such a David Menzies chat right there.
00:35:07.600 To quote Andrew Robinson, the serial killer in Dirty Harry, please, I scare easy.
00:35:14.920 Yeah.
00:35:16.220 Good grief.
00:35:17.460 Ryerson Gary also gives us five bucks and says,
00:35:19.360 When NORAD and the DEW lines were set up, according to the U.S. Air Force personnel, at least in the Ramor base in northern Ontario, there was only one reason.
00:35:32.100 A war with Russia would be waged over Canada.
00:35:35.460 That's why NORAD exists.
00:35:36.740 It's not the Santa tracker.
00:35:37.900 Like, that's why NORAD is there.
00:35:41.820 It's to realize that if there's a war with the United States between, at the time, the Soviet bloc, it would happen over top of northern Canada.
00:35:51.680 It's why ALERT exists, like the air base.
00:35:55.020 And you know what, folks?
00:35:56.140 Sheila just showed again how young she is when she called the DEW line the DEW line.
00:36:01.180 I know.
00:36:01.600 Sheila, as someone who grew up in fear during the Cold War, everybody of my age knows it's the DEW line.
00:36:07.900 I know the tail end of the Cold War.
00:36:11.420 I know enough about NORAD and ALERT.
00:36:15.720 Well, you got NORAD, right?
00:36:17.180 You didn't call it N-O-R-A-D.
00:36:20.360 That's fine.
00:36:21.620 What am I supposed to call it?
00:36:22.740 D-E-I, die?
00:36:24.400 Yes.
00:36:25.560 Okay.
00:36:27.420 Schmengi?
00:36:28.540 Schmengi?
00:36:29.100 Yash?
00:36:29.640 Yash or Stan?
00:36:33.860 I'm Yash Schmengi, and I'm Stan Schmengi.
00:36:36.100 Only SCTV viewers will know that.
00:36:38.460 Carney will change the carbon tax to something similar.
00:36:41.400 I think so.
00:36:42.160 He said he's intent now on removing the consumer carbon tax.
00:36:45.680 Okay, that's a cute way of saying that you want an industrial one, which will ultimately be passed along down to the consumer.
00:36:50.980 Oh, wait a minute, Sheila.
00:36:52.100 You mean the producers and the sellers won't absorb the cost and the price will be the same?
00:36:57.440 You're kidding me.
00:36:59.240 Yeah.
00:36:59.860 Yeah.
00:37:00.140 It's just where you move it, right?
00:37:02.180 Like, you're just moving it up and down the supply chain like you're riffing on a guitar.
00:37:06.800 Here's a question.
00:37:07.920 If somebody in the mainstream media will dare ask it of Carney and especially of Freeland on Sunday, who's also talking about dialing back the carbon tax, isn't this a fair question?
00:37:19.200 Ms. Freeland, you for years have been saying that Canadians benefit from the carbon tax with the carbon tax rebates.
00:37:27.760 So, why would you hurt Canadians by taking away the carbon tax?
00:37:33.400 Idiots have been saying for years there's no business case for Canadian oil and gas, except insofar as you can use it as a cudgel against the United States in a business war.
00:37:42.020 Yeah.
00:37:43.860 Yeah.
00:37:44.260 I guess their little Ponzi scheme idea didn't play out the way they said.
00:37:49.920 Yeah.
00:37:49.980 You know, like you can give money to the government, cycle it through the hands of a thousand bureaucrats who don't work for free, do nothing to grow the money, and then say that it increased in value magically.
00:38:00.940 That's a Ponzi scheme.
00:38:02.180 Yeah.
00:38:03.340 Okay.
00:38:04.240 We've got one.
00:38:05.140 Oh, sorry.
00:38:05.640 To finish that chat, Schmangy asks, would you prefer Trudeau's underwear or Carney's?
00:38:11.540 What?
00:38:11.940 What?
00:38:14.920 Well, there's a joke in there about Freeland's lack of in a certain photo shoot that we had to blur once upon a time.
00:38:23.920 Kian Bextie was involved with that one, too.
00:38:25.880 So, but I dare not go there.
00:38:28.500 Poor Kian.
00:38:30.320 Just poor Kian.
00:38:31.980 I can't believe that he had, you know what?
00:38:34.120 No wonder he went on to do his own thing, because we did that to him a little bit.
00:38:38.960 So, Uta Bursey, five bucks, says Carney had just, oh, this is funny.
00:38:44.260 Carney had to speak low and slow because there are a lot of elderly hard of hearing people.
00:38:51.480 Yeah.
00:38:52.140 And instead of applause or laughter or booing at the right time when mentioned the opposition,
00:38:58.240 the reaction was, it was kind of akin to Kirk Douglas back in his later days, you know, what are you saying?
00:39:10.940 I should joke.
00:39:12.200 I'll be there one day, too.
00:39:13.920 So, karma's going to bite me.
00:39:16.980 One day?
00:39:18.360 Let's go into the tariff war and the 51st state issue.
00:39:23.620 Yes.
00:39:24.000 And then I think that'll probably be everything we have time for today.
00:39:27.660 Okay.
00:39:28.740 We've got Trudeau once again saying everything is on the table when it comes to retaliatory tariffs against Donald Trump.
00:39:35.600 So, the Constitution called and says no, but let's listen to Trudeau.
00:39:42.980 Still getting it wrong.
00:39:44.840 As I've said consistently, if the incoming American administration moves forward with tariffs, we will not hesitate to act.
00:39:55.080 We will respond.
00:39:56.200 And I will say it again, everything is on the table.
00:40:01.560 Now, with the help of all of you, I hope we can avoid that outcome.
00:40:05.480 But if the worst-case scenario comes to pass, we will need all your knowledge, insights, expertise, and, quite frankly, connections with American business leaders and political leaders
00:40:18.040 to make sure that they know that the decision to impose tariffs on Canada will hurt Americans first and foremost.
00:40:26.300 We need to respond in the most appropriate way to demonstrate there are no winners in a trade fight
00:40:31.200 and to best support our friends, our neighbours, and our Canadian family who are most affected by the tariffs.
00:40:36.480 As we said on Wednesday, if one region or one industry ends up carrying a larger burden of defending Canadians,
00:40:45.460 we will make sure that all Canadians step up to support that region or industry.
00:40:51.540 We're in this together.
00:40:52.780 We're not doing that.
00:40:53.500 We're all Canadians together across the country in every different jobs and industry.
00:40:58.300 No one area will be singled out to fight for all of Canada because all Canadians will be fighting for Canada.
00:41:05.680 We're going to be true Canadians.
00:41:07.700 That's enough of him.
00:41:08.920 Yeah.
00:41:09.200 Sheila, I want to get your Western perspective.
00:41:11.220 I'm just going to weigh in.
00:41:12.080 I think I might have said this the other day, but I'm going to say it again.
00:41:15.080 The Prime Minister should be aware that everything is on the table is now bastardized language
00:41:22.820 thanks to his second banana cohort, Jagmeet Sellout Singh.
00:41:29.540 Everything is on the table, Jagmeet?
00:41:31.680 What about your pension?
00:41:32.940 What about stepping down?
00:41:33.640 Oh, no, no, that's not on the table.
00:41:35.820 That's, in fact, that's in a vault under guard duty.
00:41:39.720 You know, it reminds me, you know, once upon a time, Sheila, I used to write a column for Marketing Magazine.
00:41:44.240 I remember talking to a marketing expert about the phrase new and improved.
00:41:49.500 And same thing.
00:41:50.480 That is now bastardized language because once upon a time, they would reformulate the cookies,
00:41:56.400 and it would be a new formula, and it would be an improved taste.
00:42:00.360 Now new and improved is basically used by the packaged goods industry when they refresh their logo.
00:42:07.060 There's nothing new and improved about that.
00:42:08.840 So I just want to say the Prime Minister, for his own good, he should rethink these phrases
00:42:15.440 because they are completely bastardized for those, at least, who are paying attention.
00:42:21.300 Justin Trudeau does not rethink things.
00:42:24.120 He doesn't even do the first thing, let alone to rethink.
00:42:27.560 I think, let's go into, I'm trying to breeze through these, and then I'll give my comments
00:42:32.240 because I'll let, we'll show you what Danielle Smith says because this is all targeted at her.
00:42:38.800 They're saying that one industry should not be forced to carry the weight of Canada.
00:42:42.900 Yeah, we know, but we've been doing it in Alberta for, since always.
00:42:47.360 Enjoy your transfer payments, jerks.
00:42:49.100 Oh, boy.
00:42:50.480 Right?
00:42:50.960 Yeah, we've been doing it.
00:42:52.400 So don't, like, say that Albertans aren't doing our part.
00:42:55.940 We've always done our part.
00:42:57.040 We'd love to continue to do our part, actually.
00:42:59.740 But anyway, Melanie Jolie, who the Trump camp hates, and I believe the feeling is mutual,
00:43:08.080 she says they're going to retaliate.
00:43:11.080 Nobody thinks to just bring the heat down a little.
00:43:14.080 You know, like, why does it have to be so heated?
00:43:17.880 But these people just run, look, she's on CNN.
00:43:22.660 Don't go on Fox, lady.
00:43:24.300 Go on CNN.
00:43:25.680 Anyway, let's just watch this.
00:43:26.780 If Trump is going ahead with tariffs, he's starting a trade war.
00:43:32.380 And, of course, we will retaliate.
00:43:34.320 And you know what will happen for all those watching us right now?
00:43:37.340 This will be a Trump tariff tax on Americans.
00:43:40.400 Because this will have an impact on jobs in many, many states.
00:43:45.620 35 states have Canada as the main export market.
00:43:49.460 And at the same time, we know that we can do a lot to make sure that ultimately, at the grocery store, at the pump, when it comes to heating costs, we can try to make sure that things are not as costly.
00:44:05.300 But if we have 25% tariffs against us, of course, we will retaliate.
00:44:10.620 And, of course, that will translate into attacks on Americans.
00:44:14.660 Can you describe in any greater detail exactly how Canada would retaliate?
00:44:18.440 Listen, we still want to make sure that we get to deal without any tariffs.
00:44:23.760 We think we can get there.
00:44:25.420 We have the USMCA, which was, according to President Trump himself, the best deal ever signed by the American administration.
00:44:35.860 We believe it was a win-win.
00:44:37.560 We believe that we're able to create jobs together.
00:44:40.240 And we know that we have to continue to fight inflation.
00:44:44.020 At the same time, we will continue to make sure that we fight back if there's a threat.
00:44:50.520 And everything is on the table.
00:44:52.260 Again, everything is on the table, even when it isn't.
00:44:56.540 And, by the way, in terms of Jolie and previously the clip with Prime Minister Trudeau saying there are no winners in a trade war,
00:45:04.620 you know, finally some scintilla of a truism comes out of his mouth, Sheila.
00:45:09.420 But remember there used to be a show called The Biggest Loser?
00:45:12.520 In a trade war between the US and Canada, we, the Dominion of Canada, we are the biggest loser.
00:45:20.180 Yeah, they're 10 times bigger than us.
00:45:21.780 Like, who do we think we are?
00:45:23.120 The only thing we can do is, frankly, cut off oil and gas, but that only hurts Ontario and Quebec and Albertans.
00:45:32.060 It will collapse the Canadian economy, what's left of it, when the tariffs come.
00:45:40.060 Let's, one more clip from Trudeau.
00:45:42.960 He takes aim at Alberta's Premier Daniel Smith, who is doing her best to fight not just for Alberta.
00:45:49.740 I want to reiterate this.
00:45:51.240 It's like almost 100,000 jobs in Ontario that are directly supported by Canadian oil and gas,
00:45:56.160 which, I mean, when I say Canadian oil and gas, read Alberta and, to a lesser extent, Saskatchewan and British Columbia's gas.
00:46:06.080 It's billions of dollars in purchasing that the oil and gas sector does in, from the manufacturing sector in Ontario.
00:46:16.680 I forget how many billions of dollars in wages is paid.
00:46:20.320 Likewise with British Columbia, the lefties in British Columbia, they're being supported by and large,
00:46:25.600 by oil and gas revenues from their own sector, but also largely from Alberta.
00:46:30.100 Like, Northern BC and Northern Alberta, they function basically as one jurisdiction.
00:46:37.020 But anyway, Smith is fighting for all of those jobs, and Trudeau wants her to just, I guess, burn it all down to heat the rest of you.
00:46:48.600 I think it was really important yesterday.
00:46:51.160 We're so glad you're here.
00:46:52.700 Thanks for being part of the Rebel News community.

00:47:15.240 As we met with first ministers from across the country,
00:47:20.100 the premiers have an opportunity to express the interests of their citizens,
00:47:26.580 of their industry, of their area.
00:47:28.960 Certainly, I don't blame Danielle Smith for speaking up for her industry.
00:47:34.640 That's part of her job.
00:47:35.940 But every single premier other than Danielle Smith then chose to put Canada first and say,
00:47:46.120 but we're all part of Team Canada because what happens to any part of us happens to all of us,
00:47:51.280 and we will be there to respond strongly, to fight for Canada, and to do it in a united way
00:47:57.680 that makes sure that it's fair across all industries, across all regions.
00:48:02.880 That was what we came together yesterday to do.
00:48:06.980 Sheila, I would actually like to point out to Danielle.
00:48:12.020 That's good enough.
00:48:13.300 Sheila, my blood is boiling because this is a new low for Justin Trudeau, even for blackface.
00:48:22.260 For him to infer, as he did in that statement, that Danielle Smith is anti-Canadian, that she's traitorous
00:48:32.060 for speaking up for her constituents, for defending vital industries to Alberta.
00:48:38.940 This is a new low.
00:48:40.820 That is the most shameful thing this guy has said in this calendar year, at least.
00:48:45.800 Yeah, apparently, as is always the case, because it's always Alberta, we have to throw ourselves
00:48:54.120 on the bonfire for the rest of this country, and it is not happening again.
00:48:58.100 As I explained in the staff meeting the other day, one of my earliest memories, I think it
00:49:01.880 might be my earliest memory, my parents worried about money because of the national energy program.
00:49:06.880 My dad worked in the oil patch, as my grandpa did, as my son does, as basically every male
00:49:15.280 in my family has for generations, and it was a way to supplement the farm income because
00:49:20.340 of this, how, you know, like harvest and planting, it works alongside the breaks in the oil and
00:49:26.340 gas sector.
00:49:27.680 And the national energy program hit, my dad's job disappeared, and interest rates went up,
00:49:32.720 and we almost lost the farm that we have had since 1903.
00:49:35.100 And a lot of us remember that, and they are asking us to do the exact same thing again,
00:49:40.820 where we are supposed to shutter ourselves in for the sake of the rest of the country.
00:49:45.740 During the national energy program, we were forced to sell at a reduced rate to the rest
00:49:49.680 of you, and it caused our investment just went away, went to West Texas, went to the Middle
00:49:57.420 East, and that will happen again because the world needs oil.
00:50:01.940 America needs oil.
00:50:03.460 Now, right now, they're getting it from us, and they're getting it from us at a reduced
00:50:07.200 rate because Justin should have forced us into a monopoly with them by denying our export
00:50:11.640 pipelines.
00:50:12.800 And so now, he's using that monopoly against us and saying that we are bad Canadians because
00:50:20.120 we don't want to lose everything we have because Doug Ford wasn't cagey enough to follow
00:50:26.700 Daniel Smith to Mar-a-Lago to make the case for Ontario Industries.
00:50:30.740 Oh, you know, blackface, it's just the hypocrisy is off the chart, Sheila, for him to basically
00:50:35.880 say to Daniel Smith, hey, take one for the team again.
00:50:39.640 Meanwhile, Trudeau has told the leaders of Germany, Japan, Greece, oh, no, you know, there's
00:50:46.300 no business case for $1 trillion worth of energy exports to your nations.
00:50:51.560 Isn't that the size of the Canadian economy?
00:50:54.680 But then again, you know, the budget will balance itself.
00:50:57.100 You'll have to forgive me if I don't know anything about monetary policy.
00:51:01.460 I mean, it is absolutely unbelievable that this guy who is behind a screw job of Alberta
00:51:09.360 by not allowing your province to export all these trillions of dollars of wealth, Sheila,
00:51:16.900 to other markets has the audacity to show up this week and say, hey, Daniel, take one
00:51:22.580 for the team.
00:51:23.240 Just suffer and be a true Canadian.
00:51:25.680 It's despicable.
00:51:27.560 How dare he call us bad Canadians?
00:51:29.880 You want to shove us at a confederation?
00:51:31.800 This is how you do it.
00:51:33.120 We have stepped up for generations.
00:51:35.220 We have delivered our wealth to the rest of this country, developed our natural resources
00:51:40.460 when other provinces, I'm looking at you, Quebec, refused to.
00:51:44.140 They took our wealth, lived high on the hog because of us, and now they want us to sacrifice
00:51:49.740 ourselves one more time.
00:51:51.220 We're happy to contribute to this country by and large.
00:51:54.580 You know, it's a little too much most of the time, but we're happy to do more, by the
00:51:59.400 way, than the rest of this country, to up the standard of living in this country.
00:52:03.920 All we ask is that you leave us alone to do it, and they won't even do that for us.
00:52:10.540 And just to reiterate the points that I was making on the National Energy Program, for
00:52:15.060 those of us who are old enough to remember it, and like I said, it was very early in
00:52:20.020 my time on this earth, and it took a very long time for my family to drag itself out
00:52:25.940 of the mess created by the last Prime Minister, Trudeau.
00:52:29.840 But Daniel Smith tweeted about it this morning, for the rest of the country, in case you didn't
00:52:34.940 have to experience what so many of us did in Alberta, when all we wanted to do was work.
00:52:40.900 This is what happened.
00:52:42.040 This is what she says.
00:52:42.980 This is what happened the last time a Trudeau slapped an export tax on Alberta energy.
00:52:49.240 Efron put it in the Slack tweet.
00:52:52.240 It's a tweet from Premier Smith.
00:52:54.880 Olivia, do you want to bring that up?
00:53:00.160 There we go.
00:53:01.420 Yeah, here it is.
00:53:03.000 Here's what happened the last time a Trudeau slapped an export tax on Alberta energy.
00:53:06.880 Unemployment quadrupled from 3.7%.
00:53:11.480 So anything under 4% is like constructive negative unemployment, up to 12.4% as thousands lost
00:53:19.000 their jobs, and it damn near happened overnight.
00:53:21.320 Home values plummeted 30%, and thousands of people lost their homes.
00:53:25.960 We had a little something called jingle mail.
00:53:28.140 You won't know that phrase in the rest of the country.
00:53:30.600 But mail to the bank jingled, because people were mailing in their keys.
00:53:35.420 And bankruptcies rose by 150%.
00:53:40.960 Tens of thousands of people left the province, plunging us into a multi-year recession.
00:53:45.920 Brain drain on the economy.
00:53:47.700 All of our professionals, the geologists, the technologists, they left.
00:53:52.580 The petrologists, just gone.
00:53:54.980 The cost to Alberta was between $50 to $100 billion.
00:53:59.700 As Daniel Smith said, our government is not going to sell out Albertans to another Trudeau
00:54:03.360 export tax on energy.
00:54:04.520 His dad crushed the lives of thousands in our province.
00:54:07.580 We won't let his son do it to our people again.
00:54:10.300 Never.
00:54:11.040 So, you know what?
00:54:11.740 Let's rumble.
00:54:12.660 You know what, Sheila?
00:54:13.680 I wonder what Blackface would say to Premier Smith's tweet.
00:54:17.180 I wonder if he would dare say, oh, well, she's experiencing it differently, I suppose.
00:54:22.300 And, you know, by the way, that breaks my heart about how your family was on the brink.
00:54:28.580 Oh, I'm not special.
00:54:29.500 I'm not special.
00:54:30.400 It happened to everybody.
00:54:31.400 No.
00:54:31.820 Everybody.
00:54:32.380 I can only imagine the stress.
00:54:33.760 Imagine almost losing the historical family farm because of politicians and bureaucrats
00:54:40.840 in Ottawa.
00:54:42.040 It's just unbelievable.
00:54:43.580 But you're on better footing now.
00:54:45.400 Your husband's in the oil patch, right?
00:54:47.620 Making nice money.
00:54:48.940 I know that, folks, because last year, Sheila mistakenly phoned my voicemail.
00:54:54.140 Don't.
00:54:54.280 Oh, I won't give the context.
00:54:55.440 It was a text message.
00:54:56.400 But I got to know Sheila a whole lot more intimately, shall I say.
00:55:02.420 That wasn't that bad.
00:55:03.520 Anyway, in any event, if people want to support our campaign to bring awareness on this issue
00:55:16.100 about Alberta's contribution to the rest of the country, what it would mean to you if you
00:55:23.080 weren't in Ontario, if Alberta cut off oil and gas exports to the United States, go to
00:55:30.100 handsoffalberta.com and you can get involved.
00:55:35.000 You can sign the petition.
00:55:35.900 And we've got a plan to bring awareness to the streets of Toronto and Ottawa and other places,
00:55:44.320 too, if we can raise enough money.
00:55:45.800 But there I break it down.
00:55:48.040 I show you the numbers of what Alberta's contribution to Confederation means to you
00:55:54.020 and why we are never doing this to ourselves again.
00:55:57.460 We are not in this suicide cult with the rest of you, where only one of us has to drink the
00:56:04.060 poison flavor aid.
00:56:05.000 We're not doing it.
00:56:06.220 You know, I wish we had a different title for the call to action, Sheila.
00:56:10.100 When I see hands off, it just triggers me.
00:56:13.280 It reminds me too often of what Lady Menzoid says on the weekends, especially.
00:56:18.860 But anyway, where do we go from here?
00:56:23.560 Let's go to, quickly, we'll talk, we'll just, okay, I've got, actually, I've got a Rumble
00:56:28.540 ad read and then we'll talk about who Justin Trudeau has chosen on his Tariff, Team Canada
00:56:35.700 Tariff Task Force.
00:56:37.480 Yes.
00:56:38.540 Which he didn't call it that, but it would have been more fun if he did.
00:56:41.320 So, I want to remind you that what I'm about to tell you about is absolutely free and times
00:56:51.740 are tough.

00:57:36.020 I've got, no, yes, one quick rumble rant that came in.
00:57:42.160 20 bucks again, there, 403.
00:57:45.940 It says, and now an announcement from Justin Trudeau.
00:57:48.600 Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack.
00:57:51.320 It reminds me of the meow mix, like meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow.
00:57:54.720 Well, Sheila, as they say on the gridiron, two-minute warning because we have a hard out.
00:58:01.740 And by the way, I do hope my Detroit lines slaughter the Washington commanders.
00:58:07.080 Can't call them Redskins anymore.
00:58:08.620 By the way, what are they commanding?
00:58:10.440 Surrender?
00:58:11.280 You know, the woke mob telling you to get rid of your uniforms and nickname.
00:58:17.300 But I digress.
00:58:18.540 So you get the last word, Sheila.
00:58:20.340 Two minutes.
00:58:21.480 Okay.
00:58:22.040 I'm going to try to see if we can get to both of these
00:58:23.900 because they're both touching on Alberta.
00:58:25.760 So Justin Trudeau names his, I forget what they call it,
00:58:30.800 the Canada-U.S. Relations Council to support the federal government
00:58:33.960 as it deals with the incoming Trump administration's vow to impose tariffs.
00:58:38.060 And who does he name on it?
00:58:40.520 There's like not a single conservative in the mix.
00:58:43.240 Like not a single person that Trump would like.
00:58:46.600 Arlene Dickinson.
00:58:49.200 Not the other dragon that Trump likes from Dragon's Den.
00:58:53.500 Mr. Wonderful.
00:58:55.200 They pick the annoying one.
00:58:58.620 Linda Hassanfratz.
00:59:00.660 She's auto parts, CEO of auto parts manufacturer,
00:59:03.740 Lindmar Corp.
00:59:05.540 Lana Payne Unifor.
00:59:08.480 Flavio Volpe, Auto Parts Manufacturers Association.
00:59:12.780 You know him.
00:59:13.560 Tabitha Bull, President and CEO of the Canadian Council for Indigenous Business.
00:59:17.380 Shahzad Rafadi, CEO of RHEI Holdings.
00:59:24.860 Hassan Youssef, Independent Senator.
00:59:27.340 Independent Senator.
00:59:29.260 And former President of the Canadian Labour Congress, Wes Hall.
00:59:32.980 Another one from Dragon's Den.
00:59:35.080 Like two dragons and not even the one that Trump likes.
00:59:39.940 Martin Caron, President of the French President of the Union of Agricultural Producers.
00:59:47.660 Tim Gitzel, CEO of Cameco.
00:59:50.820 And also Rachel Notley.
00:59:53.500 So Rachel Notley, who is explicitly anti-American and explicitly anti-oil and gas.
01:00:00.220 Well, she's on this tariff task force.
01:00:04.640 You know who they could have picked?
01:00:06.000 I don't know.
01:00:06.460 Mr. Wonderful and maybe Stephen Harper.
01:00:10.320 But no.
01:00:11.600 No.
01:00:11.980 Just a bunch of crazy leftist union activists and pseudo-celebrities from CBC.
01:00:17.900 Yeah.
01:00:19.080 Basically, DEI hires.
01:00:20.840 I see that in terms of Kevin O'Leary.
01:00:23.000 He went to the big time with that genre of show, Shark Tank.
01:00:27.080 And Stephen Harper, talk about an elder statesman.
01:00:30.960 And come on, even you diehard liberals there, answer me truthfully the question.
01:00:35.320 Are you better off today than you were under Stephen Harper a decade ago?
01:00:40.940 Please be honest.
01:00:42.220 And I'm already disqualifying anyone in the pharmaceutical industry.
01:00:46.520 You don't count, okay?
01:00:48.280 I just can't believe they picked like two of the most annoying CBC dragons instead of Kevin O'Leary.
01:00:56.480 Like, they're not even trying to save us from these tariffs.
01:01:00.220 I know we have a hard out.
01:01:01.580 Maybe we can show Nahid Nenshi, who is the leader of the NDP, former mayor of Calgary,
01:01:09.740 basically saying, yes, we should shut in Alberta's oil and gas to please Justin Trudeau.
01:01:15.520 But we'll show that after we wrap.
01:01:17.900 So, David, you can wrap the show.
01:01:20.460 And then maybe we can just, if people want to stick around after we say goodbye,
01:01:23.700 they can watch Nenshi selling out Alberta to butt kiss Trudeau.
01:01:29.740 Yeah.
01:01:29.980 And keep in mind, folks, this guy used to be the mayor of Calgary.
01:01:35.640 I'll never understand that.
01:01:37.820 Well, folks, it was a pleasure bringing you to the live stream on this National Popeye Day.
01:01:42.720 I want to thank everyone for tuning in.
01:01:46.200 A special thank you to those generous donations by some of the viewers.
01:01:51.320 Thank you also to super producer Olivia and my lovely co-host Sheila Gunn-Reed.
01:01:58.740 I will be back here for sure, I think, on Monday.
01:02:04.240 Sheila will be in parts unknown, shall we say?
01:02:07.300 No, we launched it.
01:02:08.940 We told people where we're going now.
01:02:12.040 I sort of mentioned it in the podcast version of my Wednesday show, The Gunn Show.
01:02:19.440 I'll be in Davos.
01:02:20.760 Ah, or as we like to call it, Carnytown.
01:02:24.280 Yeah.
01:02:25.040 So, the lovable Sheila Gunn-Reed, she's going to be a Swiss miss.
01:02:29.980 See what I said there?
01:02:31.040 Um, so, until Monday, as always, have a great weekend, stay safe, and stay sane.
01:02:38.900 Hi, I'm Nahid Menchie, leader of Alberta's New Democrats, coming to you from Fort McMurray.
