00:01:00.340 Oh, hey, good morning, good afternoon, everybody, depending on which part of this beautiful

00:01:12.620 country that you're in. You're watching Rebel Roundup. It's our daily news and commentary

00:01:17.460 live stream hosted by me and a rotating cast of co-conspirators, I'll call them. Today is

00:01:24.220 my friend and colleague, Tamara Ugolini. Tamara, how's it going?

00:01:29.320 Hey, Sheila. Pretty good. Thanks. We look like Christmas today. So that's lots of fun. Green

00:01:33.640 and red. Yeah. How are you doing over there? Oh, I'm great. It's actually kind of warm out

00:01:39.280 today. It's above zero. Who knows how long that's going to last? It makes for muddy animals.

00:01:44.660 That's for sure. But I won't complain because it'll be back to minus 40 in the blink of an eye

00:01:50.500 a couple of times before spring. Yeah, this is like the fake spring right before the actual spring.

00:01:56.260 We'll get a few more hits of winter. This is pre-spring disappointment.

00:02:02.940 You know what? I'm going to actually hand it over to you and you can tell everybody what we're doing

00:02:08.060 here today and how they can get involved in the show. And I'm just going to poke over and out of the

00:02:12.280 corner of my eye, look at the topics because I was busy and I never got around to that. So you do

00:02:16.820 that and I'll do this and we'll meet back here in a second. Sounds good. All right. Well, welcome

00:02:21.040 everyone. As Sheila mentioned, this is our daily live stream where we bring you the news items of

00:02:26.620 the day. Today here in Ontario, of course, we have our snap election final polling day. So there will

00:02:33.080 be another live stream tonight that you won't want to miss out. I believe we're starting at 9 p.m.

00:02:37.580 Eastern, same place. And so we will keep an eye there on the watch parties and the polling results.

00:02:46.380 So please come back at that time. But for today, we are streaming a few different platforms. So we

00:02:52.080 are over on our usual Rumble, the free speech platform. And then we're also streaming on X and

00:02:58.620 YouTube. We have recently been re-monetized on YouTube. So we have to be careful sometimes

00:03:04.660 with some of the more sensitive topics on how exactly we word things. It's finicky like that.

00:03:11.480 But we're going to try to continue to keep up the momentum with that monetization to help us bring

00:03:17.320 you our independent journalism, keep the lights on and keep our equipment flowing. So if you are joining

00:03:24.260 us over on YouTube, I think it's called a super chat. You can give us a $5 donation or more if you

00:03:30.920 feel so inclined. And we will read your comment tip or otherwise on air. And it's a great way to

00:03:39.720 have our audience be part of our live stream and get some commentary on whatever it is you think is

00:03:46.200 important today. So maybe some of you have some election comments. If you're in the wonderful

00:03:52.200 province of Ontario, not on terrible, you can let us know what you think heading to the polls today or

00:03:58.560 this evening. And then of course, if you're over on Rumble, you can give us what's called a Rumble

00:04:03.200 rant. And I should actually mention before we get into the topics that I think you can also post

00:04:08.680 dated, give us a super thanks or something on YouTube. So there's a little bit more options on

00:04:15.420 YouTube for you to be able to support us, which is why we are trying to hold on to the monetization

00:04:22.300 as long as we can. Who knows how long it will last, let's be honest, but we're here for it for right

00:04:26.760 now. So without further ado, let's get into some of the topics that we have. And of course,

00:04:32.740 Trump and the 51st state is continually top of mind when it comes to what is happening in North

00:04:40.080 America and of course, here at home in Canada. So once again, it's crazy. Yesterday, there was an

00:04:46.780 announcement that the tariffs were going to be delayed until April 1st, 2nd, something like that.

00:04:52.020 And now they're back on for March 4th. So it's just day to day chaos in the economy.

00:04:59.220 And we have absolutely no leadership in Ottawa. You know, a crisis so dire, they're considering

00:05:07.380 delaying the next election, but not so dire that they should get their asses back to work 0.53

00:05:13.580 in the House of Commons. So Trump announced this morning, plans on tariffs on Mexico and Canada for

00:05:20.940 March 4th, while doubling existing 10% tariffs on China. That second part makes a little bit more

00:05:26.600 sense. And you know what, we've done nothing since the first delay of the tariffs, like they haven't

00:05:33.640 gone back to work in the House of Commons. They haven't done anything really significant on the

00:05:39.460 border. They appointed a border czar. I haven't heard anything from him since the day he did the

00:05:46.060 press announcement saying, yeah, it's me. They've done absolutely nothing. It's just all up to the

00:05:51.380 provinces to try to save themselves. And so thanks, liberals. Thanks, Trudeau.

00:05:56.220 Yeah, he appointed Kevin Brasso. And he said he was going to facilitate having a bunch of

00:06:05.200 conversations and that he was looking toward maybe going to the US the following week, which I think

00:06:11.020 would be this week. And again, crickets just haven't heard anything to that effect. But

00:06:16.640 nonetheless, Trump has been, of course, trolling Canada relentlessly, our supposed leaders with

00:06:24.040 the 51st state talk to make Canada part of the United States. I don't know how exactly logistically

00:06:29.440 that would work. But I think that we should obviously just be strengthening our relationship

00:06:35.820 and our trade amongst one another, rather than escalating these tensions. And we'll get into

00:06:42.200 a little bit more about how some of these radical socialist leaders are working to escalate the

00:06:47.180 tensions instead of being diplomatic, as we've seen with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Saskatchewan

00:06:53.560 Premier Scott Moe. So they seem to be really leading the charge for the whole country and how to

00:06:59.160 mend these troubled waters with the Trump administration. But yeah, so Trump here has

00:07:06.280 stated that he's going to put reinstate or has set a date now to put these tariffs on Canada March the

00:07:14.200 4th. So that will be next week. I guess he apparently misspoke when he said it would be April 2nd,

00:07:20.880 which would be so funny, or not funny, but sad for Canadians, because that would be the very next day

00:07:27.480 after we get our 20 is a 20% hike on the carbon tax on April 1. It's not an April Fool's Day joke,

00:07:34.440 despite what many of us thought when this was all being implemented a year or two ago. So April 1,

00:07:40.760 Canadians get taxed on carbon even more than we already are, thanks to the outgoing liberals. So

00:07:48.800 maybe if there's an election before then, or something happens on the federal political

00:07:52.880 landscape, that will change. But anyway, Canadians are really being hit left, right and centre,

00:07:59.300 whether it's from our own government or foreign governments, in terms of the amount that we pay

00:08:03.700 in taxes, it is absolutely insane. We pay more than all of our basic living necessities like food,

00:08:11.220 clothing and shelter combined to the government who's currently not even working because government

00:08:17.720 or parliament rather has been robed since the beginning of January. So they're not even working.

00:08:23.220 And we're still paying this insane amount of taxes. And now we're going to get tariffs on any,

00:08:30.920 any goods that are both imported and exported. So every which way you look at it, it is a massive

00:08:37.040 dumpster fire here in Canada. And then, you know, I had a little bit of hope that that court ruling

00:08:42.480 or sorry, the motion to unparogue parliament would be successful. And the judge would hear the merits of

00:08:47.940 that argument of how important it would be to get our government back to work on the federal level.

00:08:52.960 And then they said they would rule on it, I think, either the day before or the day that

00:08:57.440 parliament will be back anyway. So that was big nothing burger.

00:09:01.420 Yeah, it's I mean, we're being just rung out as taxpayers like that. I don't know how anybody has

00:09:10.000 anything left. And after you if you had the misfortune of watching the liberal debate, I did, of course,

00:09:17.780 because it's my job. And I would understand if nobody else did watch because it was just a boring,

00:09:22.580 soul sucking event. But none of these people have any real solutions like they're to address the housing crisis.

00:09:28.340 This was Freeland's idea because she doesn't realize that out of control immigration is the problem and 1.00

00:09:35.820 green energy regulations. Those are the problems with the housing crisis. No, her her thought and

00:09:45.020 this is why she destroyed an entire section of Reuters when she was in charge and why our economy is in 0.59

00:09:50.740 such shambles. It's because she was in charge of it. She said, oh, we're just going to open up free

00:09:56.300 trade schools. Free, free trade schools to make sure that we have more carpenters, electricians,

00:10:04.380 plumbers. We're just going to graduate a bunch of them and they'll build the houses.

00:10:10.940 Does she think that it's a problem with supply of labor in the trades that's driving up the cost of

00:10:19.560 housing? And by the way, there's no such thing as a free trade school. If you if first of all,

00:10:24.500 if your trade certificate is free, it's actually worth nothing. Right. If there's too many of you

00:10:30.960 out there, it drives your wages down and nobody works for free. It just means the government's

00:10:36.840 going to pay for it. The government doesn't have any money. It's you. The problem with the cost of

00:10:40.280 housing is not the labor costs of housing. It is everything else, but mostly demand.

00:10:46.240 This was her big idea. No wonder our economy is an absolute mess. 1.00

00:10:51.640 Well, and I always go back to the time that she told Canadians that they could deal with inflation

00:10:55.720 by canceling their Disney Plus memberships.

00:10:58.560 $14.99.

00:10:59.520 $14.99 a month. I think that will buy you exactly like two or three flats of strawberries these days,

00:11:04.860 maybe not even. And I don't know if anybody has multiple children, but they're gone in one snack.

00:11:11.120 So yeah, thanks, Christia Freeland, our finance minister for that, just hitting it out of the

00:11:17.180 ballpark advice. But Trump is still clinging to the fact that he he thinks I don't know if he's

00:11:25.600 serious, but he thinks Canada wants to join. And as I've mentioned here before, you know,

00:11:30.060 I'm here for a conversation because the way that our country has been run into the ground by the

00:11:35.900 liberals and by various levels of government the last several years, Canadians are desperate for

00:11:41.800 a change. And they're willing to consider this crazy talk, otherwise crazy talk to get back to

00:11:49.480 having some form of livable life again, that is that you can sustain that you can you can afford to

00:11:58.480 live and eat and feed your family and heat your home and put clothes on your kids back.

00:12:04.300 Maybe save some money, like, I'm just living a hand to mouth every single month. I was talking to

00:12:10.700 Chris Sims, and she said, like, most Canadians, or more more Canadians than not, are $200 away from

00:12:18.640 insolvency. And the average cost of a cart of groceries for a family of four, and I don't have a

00:12:25.980 family for I have more. And so do you, Tamara, is $300 a week. So most Canadians are

00:12:34.200 less than a cart of groceries away from insolvency in this country, let alone the idea that you could

00:12:40.720 save some pennies and have like a buffer in your bank account. The liberals just don't think you're

00:12:47.160 entitled to that.

00:12:49.040 Yeah, every which way you look at it, it is crazy. So when Trump says these things that would otherwise

00:12:53.760 be outlandish, he now has the ear of desperate Canadians who are going, well, what would that

00:12:58.880 actually look like? And what does that actually mean? And would it benefit our ability to stay

00:13:03.460 afloat and keep our head above water? And as you've mentioned, perhaps even put a little bit

00:13:07.020 aside at the end of each week or each month. But we have these comments here from, I think this was

00:13:12.920 yesterday, yeah, Trump yesterday, discussing that there is in fact a movement in Canada to join the

00:13:19.320 United States.

00:13:21.280 Can I shift your attention to Canada real quick?

00:13:23.080 Yes, please.

00:13:23.840 Last week, I spent some time with two government officials for Canada. I was asking them how realistic

00:13:30.020 is it that Canada would be the 51st state. And they told me there is a path. Alberta is first. And if

00:13:37.660 they sign on, Saskatchewan would follow. And then you go west to British Columbia. There is a movement in

00:13:44.760 Canada to join us. I want to get your thoughts on that and how that's proceeding right now.

00:13:49.560 So it's true. Thank you, Brian. It's true. A lot of people in Canada are liking

00:13:54.660 becoming our beautiful, cherished 51st state. They'll have to pay much lower taxes. They'll

00:14:01.460 have the ultimate security. You know, they don't pay very much for security right now because they

00:14:05.700 rely on us.

00:14:06.920 Can I shift your attention to Canada?

00:14:09.620 You know what? He is right, although I don't think he wants all of BC.

00:14:14.760 And he, I think probably has, has run the numbers like, yeah, I'll take Alberta. I'll

00:14:21.080 take Saskatchewan. Um, we'll start there because otherwise you just get a country of Democrats,

00:14:27.320 unfortunately. Um, and it's nice. It's nice to hear Trump talk about Canada as beautiful

00:14:38.580 and cherished. Like he would cherish Alberta and Saskatchewan because right now in Confederacy,

00:14:44.740 we're treated like garbage, like absolute garbage, we're flyover country, we're yokels, 0.99

00:14:49.940 we're a colony from which you extract our resources, then tell us to shut up. Um, and so it, it tickles 1.00

00:14:56.580 the ear to hear somebody speak so nicely about us because Justin Trudeau doesn't talk nice about us

00:15:02.640 like that.

00:15:03.160 Um, no, he calls us a bunch of colonizers, supremacists that, uh, that have this systemic

00:15:11.560 racism that we must call a disband from our unconscious bias and adhere to perpetual and

00:15:20.000 incessant diversity, equity, and inclusion policies and, um, have it be pride season all year round.

00:15:28.440 Like it's just, it's absolute nonsense and the gaslighting that Canadians have been subjected to

00:15:33.360 by our own government, especially the last few years, the fallout of COVID-19 and how it was handled

00:15:39.960 and, um, pandemic response things, um, coupled with all of the tumultuous things that are happening

00:15:48.520 that just the taxes alone, as we've mentioned, Canadians are feeling it where it hurts the most

00:15:54.400 and that's in their pocketbooks. And, um, more and more Canadians are saying, Hey, wait a minute,

00:16:00.260 this doesn't make sense. We've been gaslit by our leaders named and shamed as though, you know,

00:16:06.520 we have some sort of systemic unconscious bias to try to unpack perpetually. And, um, someone is talking

00:16:16.220 very sensibly and reasonably down to our Southern neighbor counterparts. Hey, guess what? Now that's

00:16:24.180 gleaned the ear of Canadians who feel perpetually slighted by the government. So that's where we are.

00:16:30.740 And, um, and then it's called, you know, that, that, uh, we're these extremists because we want to

00:16:37.920 join the United States as the 51st state. And that's not what it's really about here. It's about being

00:16:43.700 slighted by your own government, ignored, gaslit, name called. They froze the bank accounts of the

00:16:50.360 most patriotic people who gathered the nation's capital in January and February, 2022 to protest

00:16:57.420 the overreach and totalitarian measures the government was taking against its own people

00:17:02.440 that just escalated those totalitarian measures and implemented wartime legislation to stomp on and,

00:17:09.740 um, unleash the horses onto grandmas out protesting. They jailed Tamara Leach for what's 52 consecutive 1.00

00:17:17.560 days at the end of it all, um, for saying things like hold the line. This is craziness. What's

00:17:24.260 happened in Canada and Canadians feel slighted. And now all of a sudden, all of these, um,

00:17:29.160 premiers and the liberals are about team Canada. And meanwhile, the people who were actually team

00:17:36.260 Canada have been completely slighted by the government and they're like, well, actually

00:17:41.700 you're on your own now. And you froze all of our bank accounts and literally physically violently

00:17:48.040 assaulted us when we tried to protest you politically. Um, so Canadians are in a really rough spot right

00:17:55.600 now. And that's where you start to glean the ear of people who hear things like, Hey, lower your taxes.

00:18:02.520 And they're like, that sounds amazing. We're here for it. Yeah. Yeah. Or when we've got a guy who's

00:18:08.020 saying, yeah, we'll build your pipelines. Like Keystone XL runs from Alberta, uh, to refineries

00:18:14.940 in the United States. And he's like, yeah, let's get that going. Uh, we like you guys. You know what

00:18:19.140 that's like for an Albertan to hear? Justin Trudeau has said repeatedly, there's no business case for

00:18:26.120 natural gas exports. Um, and then Trump goes and strikes a deal with the people who came a call

00:18:32.180 in to us first, how these people have said for a decade, we're not going to let you build a pipeline.

00:18:38.860 There's no social license for it, whatever the hell that means. Um, and then all of a sudden

00:18:44.540 they're like, Oh, we got to build pipelines now because, uh, because of Trump, how about because 1.00

00:18:49.420 of Canada, you should have built one 10 years ago, you big jerks. And we're supposed to come along 1.00

00:18:54.280 and kiss your butts. Now cozy up to you, save the day, put ourselves out of work, uh, because 0.99

00:18:59.940 you're fighting a big fascist Trump, like get bent, get bent. We wanted out of this relationship a long

00:19:06.460 time ago, or at least wanted to rejig of the relationship. And now we're supposed to show up

00:19:11.440 to save the day, get out of here. Like there's a reason, there's a reason why, sorry to interrupt

00:19:16.880 one in three Albertans is like, we'd be better off going this alone. So when they teach or when they

00:19:22.260 preach that this is, uh, just a fringe movement of people who are in, in the West, who are over

00:19:28.360 Canada, it's like one in three. Uh, that's a lot. You can get a majority government in parliament,

00:19:35.240 uh, like with a little bit more than that. And don't forget that these tariffs are a result of

00:19:43.240 fentanyl and mass immigration that is unfiltered and largely unchecked. I think we have something like 0.99

00:19:50.660 400,000, uh, illegal immigrants that are supposed to be sent back to their home countries that are

00:19:56.620 just unaccounted for in the country that the CBSA, the Canadian border agency was, is just not able

00:20:03.360 to locate. And Canadians have been saying, Hey, we want our streets cleaned up. Community safety

00:20:08.160 is being compromised by open air drug use, illicit drug use, the crime, the violence, all of the things

00:20:14.380 that go with addicts trying to fuel their addiction because we don't have any sort of actual, uh,

00:20:21.340 wraparound services as, as the left likes to say, or, um, these, these, this idea of safer supply of

00:20:28.580 toxic, deadly drugs on our streets being diverted to our youth and also diverted into United States.

00:20:35.140 And it took another government, a foreign government, Trump to say, Hey, Canada, clean up your streets

00:20:41.440 and get your immigration under control because it's trickling now into our country and we don't 0.87

00:20:47.020 want no part of it. And Canadians are like, yay, finally, someone is listening to us because we've

00:20:52.140 been trying to call on our government to do this for several years now. And they've just ignored it

00:20:57.320 said, no, no, the safer supply it's safer. So, um, you be quiet over there because you're stigmatizing

00:21:03.720 the drug addicts and you're being a racist for wanting to have some checks and balances in place

00:21:09.400 with immigration because immigrants are coming here and they don't have anywhere to live or to work. 0.99

00:21:14.600 They cannot get around because our infrastructure was not built to capacity to, um, to reach this

00:21:20.560 kind of capacity. And instead of bringing up those logical, reasonable, rational arguments against

00:21:28.080 open borders and against the idea of safer supply, Canadians have again, just been slighted, smeared,

00:21:33.680 name called and belittled by the government. So all of this stuff is really in alignment with a lot of

00:21:39.320 what Canadians have been saying and been ignored over for the last few years. And so when you have

00:21:43.760 someone who comes in and says, Hey, I am listening to you, that sounds really appealing at this point,

00:21:49.520 uh, in our country. Yeah. And I see, we have, yeah, we've got a couple more. Ask me how I feel about,

00:21:55.820 uh, Canadians getting tariffs while in Alberta, we've been doing our job, you know, like because Justin

00:22:02.880 Trudeau and the rest of team Canada and Doug Ford can't bring the heat down, everybody's getting

00:22:08.960 tariffs. And in the meantime, we're in Alberta saying, ah, we've been dealing with the border.

00:22:13.180 We've got our little border patrol. We've been dealing with fentanyl tougher than anybody in the

00:22:17.380 entire country. We have a recovery based focus on this. We will forcibly confine our drug addicts.

00:22:22.600 If it means getting them off the street so that they don't hurt themselves and other people

00:22:26.960 anymore, but because we have the big amplified voices of Doug Ford and Justin Trudeau, our

00:22:34.160 national economy is going to be hammered. And again, what are we still doing here?

00:22:39.760 I think Danielle Smith's approach, the Alberta premier's approach is the only reason why

00:22:44.300 the tariffs have been pushed off and pushed off and pushed off. Um, because I suspect that Trump

00:22:50.240 sees that effort being put forward and was hoping that it would, you know, come out and manifest

00:22:56.240 similarly in other provinces and on the more on the federal level. Instead, we got this

00:23:00.880 border czar who made an announcement like here I am to have conversations and I can't wait

00:23:04.980 to do this important work and never to be seen again. Um, so now we're getting the threat

00:23:11.420 again is being reignited that they will be imposed on March the 4th. Um, we have a super

00:23:17.440 chat here from J Tama 8318. Thank you very much. Who gives $5. I try to catch your videos.

00:23:24.740 I know you are focused on Canada, but do you have U S news also sometimes? And I mean, obviously when

00:23:31.760 it affects Canada, we will work like we are right now we're discussing it, but we're a small skeleton

00:23:36.820 of a Canadian news outlet with some, uh, prongs in Australia and in the UK and a little bit in the U S

00:23:44.360 but we cannot compete with the U S media. You guys have so much more diverse options

00:23:51.380 when it comes to conservative news, um, that we just don't have the capacity to compete with that

00:23:57.780 at this point, maybe in the future, that would be a great conversation to have. Um, but I think that

00:24:02.660 is largely why we focus on Canada because we don't have any counterpoint, a lot of counterpoints

00:24:07.740 to our compromised liberal government funded mainstream media. So there's so much going on

00:24:13.740 in Canada right now that we really have to, uh, tailor and focus our efforts here because

00:24:18.640 no one else is doing the work that we're doing. Yeah, exactly. Uh, let's move on to Jagmeet Singh,

00:24:25.160 who is absolutely nothing and nobody except Justin Trudeau's biggest enabler. Our country is a mess

00:24:31.660 in no small part because of him. And he is, um, the leader of the fringe third party in this country,

00:24:38.640 probably going to lose his own seat. And yet he thinks that he is going to decide who gets to come

00:24:46.060 to Canada as part of the G seven meetings that are hosted here in Alberta in beautiful Kananaskis.

00:24:52.620 Now, God willing, we will have a new prime minister and it won't be Mark Carney by them because I really

00:25:00.620 don't want Mark Carney, um, at the G seven in Alberta of all places. He'll be wearing his,

00:25:07.120 I like I'm from Alberta cloak that he likes to wear, but really you're from the UK at this point. Um,

00:25:13.040 but Jagmeet Singh wants to ban our largest trading partner, our biggest security ally from the G seven

00:25:24.520 meetings. What can possibly go wrong? You want 50% tariffs? Keep talking idiot. Anyway,

00:25:29.880 let's watch this. I also believe we need to ban Donald Trump from attending the G seven summit.

00:25:38.440 So embarrassing. Donald Trump should not be welcome here. Why would we invite someone who has threatened

00:25:45.780 our very democracy, our vet very sovereignty? Why would we invite someone who has threatened our

00:25:54.120 economic wellbeing? Why would we invite someone who threatens our allies and threatens the world's

00:26:02.460 stability? Why would we allow a convicted criminal into our country? Why would we invite someone who 1.00

00:26:11.140 has such disdain for multilateral organizations? Instead, what we should do is use the G seven summit as an

00:26:20.360 opportunity to work with our allies on a plan to resist Donald Trump and his dangerous threats to

00:26:26.280 the world. I also believe we need to ban Donald Trump from attending the G. Okay. That's good.

00:26:34.920 So Mr. We got to ban Donald Trump because he's a convicted felon on a political conviction, 0.97

00:26:40.920 but he's perfectly fine with the radical Hamas lunatics on the streets of Canadian cities every single 0.98

00:26:47.940 weekend, threatening Jews, threatening Jews, celebrating an outlawed terrorist organization. 0.96

00:26:52.180 And he seems perfectly fine with the, uh, hundreds of thousands of unvetted illegal migrants roaming, 0.79

00:26:58.900 uh, our country, but he's worried about Donald Trump. Uh, we don't get to do anything. We're not in charge

00:27:07.780 of anything. Jagmeet Singh, not anymore. Um, I also find it's very ironic and hypocritical that he thinks

00:27:17.440 Trump is threatening our democracy. Meanwhile, him and the liberals have had this unofficial coalition,

00:27:24.960 literally stealing our democratic process in parliament for the last, what, two years,

00:27:32.360 almost or over two years now that they have unofficially created this or officially created

00:27:39.860 this pact between the liberals and the NDP. So they rule as a majority, these two fringe minority

00:27:46.620 parties rule in our parliament when it's actually functioning and not prorogued as a, uh, majority

00:27:54.000 government and thereby undermining and compromising our democratic due process by not giving a voice to

00:28:02.240 the actual opposition, which would be a lot stronger if it had better leadership, uh, for the first few

00:28:08.840 years during the pandemic. But also if they didn't have this coalition, the conservatives would be

00:28:14.740 able to push back and push things through more, uh, appropriately and easier if there wasn't this

00:28:21.500 coalition between the liberals and the NDP. So, and then threatening the economic wellbeing. Well, we see

00:28:26.520 how our economy is in Canada and the fact that Canadians have to choose between heating their

00:28:32.000 homes and putting food on the table. And I would say that that's our own government's doing, um,

00:28:37.060 thanks to finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, who told Canadians to cancel their Disney plus accounts

00:28:42.080 and then froze their bank accounts when they disagreed with the way her government was conducting itself. 0.53

00:28:45.920 Um, and, but somehow this is all Trump's fault. Of course, Jagmeet Singh thinks this way.

00:28:52.860 Can I ask Olivia or whoever's behind the board in Toronto today to just do a Google image search

00:29:00.600 of Kananaskis, Kanmore? Uh, here's the reason I think they don't want Trump to go to Kananaskis

00:29:08.260 and Kanmore is because he already likes Alberta where his beautiful, cherished 51st state.

00:29:13.620 If he sees the unrivaled natural beauty of Kananaskis, Kanmore, that man is not going to stop until

00:29:24.380 he has it. That's what I think. They don't want Trump showing up. He's going to look at Kananaskis

00:29:29.460 and say, these people like me, I like them. They've got lots of natural resources. They are

00:29:36.820 like Aspen without the politics and Hollywood. Why, why wouldn't I love them? Like, this is just

00:29:44.420 like a random picture, but the whole place is like this. It is really a truly unrivaled natural beauty.

00:29:52.120 Trump's going to see it and say, yeah, we need those people.

00:29:55.120 Yeah. And I think he does see the wealth of our resources that have been completely compromised

00:30:03.540 and underutilized by our government. Like Canadians, yeah, we should not be struggling.

00:30:12.020 They tell me it's, yeah, they tell me it's an oil and gas wasteland here in Alberta, but we just keep

00:30:17.400 tripping over places like that all over the place. Let's go to Jagmeet Singh.

00:30:24.160 Oh, before we move on, Sheila, from that one clip. I don't know if our viewers could see it because

00:30:28.620 of the way that we were on the screen there while the clip was playing, but you can see some of the

00:30:33.100 people in the audience when he says that, their faces. That's what I noticed and noted right away

00:30:40.040 was that they're just like, wait, what is this guy even saying? And you can tell. Yeah, it does get

00:30:46.760 better. Here, let's look at this next one. Yeah, this next one is great.

00:30:54.260 Zelensky isn't the one who is threatening to take over and invade other countries. That's Donald Trump.

00:31:01.860 He gave superpowers to billionaires and cozied up to tech bros who spread disinformation.

00:31:10.040 He got his surrogates, J.D. Vance and Elon Musk to endorse the AFD in Germany, a party widely seen

00:31:19.920 as supporting or embracing Nazi elements in its midst, a party, I'll remind you, that Pierre

00:31:27.760 Polyev's caucus members met with. Trump has then repeatedly threatened to invade other countries.

00:31:35.520 I ask you a question. What do you call someone who threatens his allies, including with the use of

00:31:45.120 military force? Someone who spreads disinformation and proclaims that he is above the laws and fires

00:31:53.160 anyone who won't do as he says, even those in law enforcement and in the military. You call that person

00:32:01.340 a fascist. Sounds like he's describing Trudeau. Like that phone call is definitely coming from inside

00:32:08.380 the house when he's like fires anybody who won't agree with them, even if those people are in law

00:32:13.160 enforcement. He fired our AG, which is like the top in law enforcement. Because she didn't agree with

00:32:23.120 cutting a sweetheart deal for a corrupt Quebec-based liberal-linked company named SNC-Lavalin, which now

00:32:31.660 has to change its name. And it's funny how he talks. It did change its name. Yeah. And now they're being

00:32:37.480 awarded the speed rail, the billion dollar. The high speed rail. The monorail.

00:32:42.420 Yes. So that's where SNC-Lavalin ended up. Yeah. Oh, by the way, I like how he opened up by saying

00:32:50.000 it's not Zelinsky who doesn't believe in democracy. His term expired last April, I think. Yeah.

00:32:59.480 Zelinsky said he delayed the elections and continues to delay the elections because he's in war.

00:33:07.080 Um, so his country has been living under martial law for almost five years, I guess. And so during

00:33:17.080 this martial law declaration, Ukraine can't have elections. So, so it's Zelensky that it's Zelensky

00:33:24.360 it is. And he has banned opposition media, banned opposition parties and opposition church to

00:33:30.700 Ukraine supposed to be the beacon of democracy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're holding Ukraine as some

00:33:39.280 sort of beacon of democracy as they literally ban elections, ban any opposition and silence anybody

00:33:46.080 who speaks out against it. Um, I think more and more people, thanks to the uncensored nature of some

00:33:53.780 of these other platforms now, like X and rumble, uh, people can see more what these people are,

00:33:59.920 uh, instead of just what they say up on the world stage, but how they actually act and conduct

00:34:05.340 themselves and have other people pointing out, wait a minute, this, this isn't what this person

00:34:09.940 saying doesn't match or line up with what is happening in reality. And more and more people

00:34:15.300 can see that for themselves now. So yeah, Jagmeet saying, I think we'll be on his way out.

00:34:20.600 Um, I just, like, I just don't even know who invited him. Like it's the Montreal council on

00:34:25.720 foreign relations. What sort of a diplomatic foreign relations work has he ever done? Like

00:34:32.720 it would make more sense, for example, to invite Danielle Smith, who has done some strong diplomacy

00:34:38.900 work with the, in the Trump administration. I was going to say incoming, but they're already there.

00:34:43.440 Trump administration. She's done some actual work. Even Scott Moe has done some more work on this

00:34:50.460 than Jagmeet Singh has done. He's done nothing but run his little mouth, um, to the side of prime

00:34:56.700 minister, Justin Trudeau. I don't know. What was he doing there? Why'd you invite him? Uh, I have no

00:35:02.660 idea. Someone in the comments is asking to, uh, big, is it big, big, uh, truck Ben, I think it was,

00:35:10.900 or big Ben for freedom. He was the guy that had the, um, flag, the big crane in Ottawa, and he had the

00:35:17.660 Canadian flag on it. And they tried to say his, his little weight that was holding the flag down

00:35:22.440 on the crane was wrecking ball. Um, he comment, he wrote in the comments here, isn't Jagmeet Singh

00:35:30.080 barred from traveling to India because he supported like their radical, um, uprising group. I don't

00:35:37.080 know. I don't know the whole story with that there, but yeah, Jagmeet Singh has a bit of a checkered

00:35:42.560 past in this way. So whoever's interested in going down that rabbit hole, please feel free.

00:35:48.780 Yeah. Okay. We've got a chat from Christy LB gives us 10 bucks. Uh, Christy, if you forgot

00:35:56.000 to put your super chat in there, maybe somebody working behind the scenes for rebel news can

00:36:01.320 send that to us. But if you just wanted to give us 10 bucks also, we really appreciate that. But if you,

00:36:06.980 if you have something to say and just write it in the comments and hopefully one of the guys will

00:36:12.220 catch it, we've got a quick message from our friends at Patriot mobile. This is how we pay the

00:36:17.460 bills on the live stream. Because of course, as you know, we'll never take a penny from Justin

00:36:21.880 Trudeau and how could we hold him to account? If we did, it sets us apart from the vast majority of

00:36:27.840 the Canadian media landscape in this country who are funded by the government. And so you should

00:36:33.660 always read their coverage and watch their coverage with deep skepticism because it could very

00:36:40.400 well be a grant application. Uh, this one's from Patriot mobile switch to Patriot mobile for your

00:36:45.560 cell phone service and get your first two months free. When you use the promo code victory offer

00:36:50.580 expires this Friday, February 28th at 8 PM central sign up now at Patriot mobile.com or call nine seven

00:36:58.240 two Patriot. And I trust that that is for our American viewers because even though Justin Trudeau

00:37:04.220 campaigned on proming us, promising us lower cell phone prices, there are absolutely no newcomers into 1.00

00:37:11.720 the Canadian cell phone market. You just, it's, there's a basic, a monopoly, um, where three companies

00:37:19.200 just can collude to keep your cell phone bill exactly what it would be at the other company.

00:37:25.440 Neat little trick they did there. Uh, okay. So next it looks like we have a clip of Trump pushing back

00:37:34.740 on, um, a reporter who asks him, isn't he targeting people with his executive orders? His response is

00:37:44.040 just perfect. What do you say to people who worry that targeting an individual firm or individuals who,

00:37:50.080 you know, aren't Jack Smith. I've been targeted for four years, longer than that.

00:37:55.440 So you don't tell me about targeting. I was the target of, uh, corrupt politicians for four years

00:38:01.640 and then four years after that. Uh, so don't talk to me about targeting.

00:38:06.700 Yeah, perfect, perfect response to the nonsense that comes out of the mainstream media news's

00:38:16.840 journalists mouths. Um, we also have, speaking of Carney, we mentioned him a little bit earlier,

00:38:23.620 but, uh, he seems to be bad journalists and speaking of bad journalists. Yeah. Uh, so Carney

00:38:30.640 recently moved one of his management companies from Canada to the U S back, actually, I think it was

00:38:37.700 back in November when Trump first began the threats, uh, the tariff threats on Canada.

00:38:43.740 And it reminds me that, uh, okay. So Carney, it was, I think he made the announcement October 31st,

00:38:51.720 Halloween, and then it happened at the beginning of November. Carney was doing, acknowledging by moving

00:38:59.000 the head office of Brookfield asset management to the United States, knowing that his company would do

00:39:04.640 better on in the United States than under the policies that he was whispering in Justin Trudeau's

00:39:11.240 ear for the rest of us anyway. Right. Because don't forget, Mark Carney has been an economic advisor

00:39:17.040 to Trudeau for the last half of a decade, um, and was especially important to the liberals during their

00:39:24.620 COVID response, uh, plans, financial plans, uh, or lack thereof, I guess. But, um, nonetheless, he has

00:39:32.820 moved, he moved his, um, asset management company from Canada to the States. And then he lied about it.

00:39:38.440 And here we have, um, the CBC's David Cochran basically just saying that no big deal, nothing

00:39:45.840 to see here, folks. It's unclear to me the negative consequences of the Brookfield relocation. They're

00:39:51.720 there because they want access to U.S. shareholders and U.S. stock indexes. It's unclear if there's job

00:39:57.040 losses or tax losses to Canada. But the way he answered that question, his fingerprints were all

00:40:01.440 over the move. And he acted, he answered in a way that he tried to distance himself from it. So

00:40:05.420 is that dishonesty? Is that political inexperience? What is it, Jonathan? Help me understand that.

00:40:10.240 It's unclear. I think it's pretty clear. Um, not only did he move his company to the U.S.,

00:40:18.100 because obviously, as you've mentioned, Sheila, I would do better there. That has to inevitably

00:40:22.880 compromise Canadian jobs when you move an entire company to another country. But so not only did he

00:40:29.420 do that, but he lied about it. So what are you trying to cover up here? What are you trying to

00:40:35.160 hide? Um, I think that they, the liberals basically just spent their entire debate time, um, attacking

00:40:42.520 the U.S. and Trump as some sort of tyrant and predator, um, and stating that Canada needs to build

00:40:50.440 this military alliance against the U.S. and against Trump's actions. And again, under the skies of

00:40:56.640 up to Canada, but then he lies about moving his company there because it's obviously better for

00:41:02.780 the investment. Again, the hypocrisy that is on display with these people is absolutely insane. 0.96

00:41:11.500 Uh, let us never forget who, uh, Cochran is now in the 20, I think it was 2021 could be 2019. We've 0.52

00:41:22.320 had so many election campaigns with Justin Chateau. He's the guy who took the free poutine.

00:41:26.640 From Justin Trudeau. Does anybody remember that? And then asked like, Justin Trudeau is like,

00:41:31.400 here, have my poutine. And David Cochran's like, yeah, thanks. Thanks. Like on the campaign trail,

00:41:37.440 I think they're at some sort of weird farmer's market. And then very recently, or at least, uh,

00:41:42.180 in December, CBC's David Cochran got very upset that Pierre Polyev would even talk about Canada's

00:41:51.840 border crisis after Justin Trudeau told him not to, I just, uh, flipped that into the chat. If you want

00:41:58.960 to put this up, he's, he basically, he's like, why is he talking? Why is he talking about that? How dare

00:42:04.000 he? Um, although not the same outrage reserved for Jagmeet Singh saying we should ban Trump from the

00:42:10.920 entire country. We wouldn't want, uh, Pierre Polyev to talk about issues facing Canada as Canada's

00:42:20.180 official opposition, you know, like opposing bad liberal ideas. That's kind of in the job description,

00:42:25.760 but not for David Cochran. So Kate on that, like all the national leaders get together in the

00:42:31.640 cabinet room. That's where they met apparently. And they were all asked to not say things like

00:42:35.380 the border is broken. And in about 45 seconds, Pierre Polyev says the border is broken. And then

00:42:39.940 he leads off question period about the broken border. This is exactly the sort of thing they're

00:42:44.520 all being asked not to do because it, it, it helps the U.S. news cycle and helps the president

00:42:49.440 elect's argument. Uh, he was making comments about the border well before that meeting. Um, he had also

00:42:55.380 done an entire media availability on Sunday where he talked about what he would do to fix the border.

00:42:59.800 So he's not just coming out and saying the border is a problem and it needs to be fixed. He's also

00:43:04.720 outlining a path for how it could be fixed and actions that the government could take. So it's

00:43:08.860 not just identification of a problem. There's also a solutions roadmap that he's identified.

00:43:15.360 Yeah. Compelling the speech of the very probably next prime minister of Canada. That sounds really

00:43:22.060 great, but not surprised. Yeah. We wouldn't want him to, we wouldn't want the leader of the official

00:43:25.960 opposition who is in campaign mode to say and do something that might hurt the liberals. Like,

00:43:31.300 excuse me, what? Um, also it's, uh, the media's job to hold the government into account too,

00:43:37.960 and not just take their poutines as David Cochran did. Like, uh, he should be talking about

00:43:44.040 the border problems too. He should think it's odd that the prime minister is telling the other party

00:43:51.120 leaders to shut up about the problems the liberals created. Instead he's indignant. There he is taking

00:43:56.600 the poutine. Didn't even think it was inappropriate. It was funny. It's jolly. Uh, that's a guy who

00:44:02.420 obviously doesn't. Yeah. He's fully taking the bite there too. Like that. Oh, oh yeah. Just

00:44:10.280 eating someone else's food. No big deal. This is weird. Um, all right. Well, that's the state of the

00:44:17.560 mainstream media here in Canada for all of you, uh, who are wondering why we have to focus so heavily

00:44:22.900 on Canadian events because that's what you get there. Um, and asking questions, just talking

00:44:28.680 about that borders are for a moment when they had that press release and the mainstream media was

00:44:32.700 like, why did you pick the name czar? I am over here just dying. Like, could you not think of anything

00:44:40.040 better to ask this person during these times why they chose the name czar? It's just so lackluster at

00:44:48.960 best. Yeah. Um, but, uh, in other news, the, our, our Canada's greatest hockey player, Wayne Gretzky

00:44:58.620 has been under fire for, um, being seen in photos and aligning himself with Trump. And I guess now

00:45:06.720 this comes, by the way, like the guy's a businessman, he owns hockey, uh, franchises. Uh,

00:45:14.340 why wouldn't he want to have a good relationship with the most business friendly, uh, president of

00:45:21.960 the United States in living memory? Um, but since he was there at Mar-a-Lago, by the way, the liberals

00:45:29.760 went to Mar-a-Lago, but you don't see everybody losing their marbles about that. He went to Mar-a-Lago,

00:45:35.340 um, the way a lot of business leaders are. And that was enough to just, uh, basically have

00:45:41.320 them canceled as a Canadian, despite like all the Stanley cups and all of his good work

00:45:48.340 for Canada. They're like, no garbage him in the garbage, get in the bin. 0.99

00:45:54.460 It's so stupid. Yeah. Team Canada is just like, we will disavow the great one. Hockey's greatest champion. 1.00

00:46:00.500 Who actually was on team, the captain of team Canada, by the way, like team Canada is now

00:46:05.660 disavowing the captain of team Canada. Yeah. If you'd like to know the absolute irony and hypocrisy

00:46:11.960 of these individuals. Um, but anyway, so now, uh, Wayne Gretzky's cleared the air that he does not

00:46:18.520 back this 51st state trolling rhetoric that Trump has been touting. Um, and this comes from the Toronto

00:46:26.980 Sandro Warmington wrote this article and I think it's the fourth paragraph down. He says sad that

00:46:33.680 Trump had to clarify that for some Canadians, like it is the attack mode that Canadians had into and

00:46:41.000 specifically this team Canada. Um, they just get so, so triggered left, right, and center. Um, there is

00:46:50.600 nothing you can't say that will not trigger team Canada if you so much as disagree even slightly 0.83

00:46:58.240 with the direction that they're heading or point out their hypocrisy and nonsensical conduct over

00:47:04.660 the last few years and how it doesn't align with a team Canada approach. Um, so, so here we are,

00:47:11.100 this is, this is apparently the news that we're having to address is the fact that Wayne Gretzky,

00:47:17.980 a retired Canadian hockey player who was the greatest at hockey, um, that we have to be

00:47:27.600 concerned of whether or not he thinks that Canada should become the 51st state. By the way, didn't

00:47:32.960 you have a run-in with his brother as an OPP officer or something? I did. Oh, that was so fun. And

00:47:37.900 you know, I'm so disappointed, such a missed opportunity because in the heat of the moment,

00:47:42.600 I didn't realize that it was his brother. Yeah. And it was something weird too, because in that

00:47:49.260 moment, that was when we went to drop off the petition at, uh, Tim's camp when they implemented

00:47:53.940 their, uh, COVID-19 vaccine mandate for children trying to attend their camps. And so we went all

00:48:01.200 the way out to St. Thomas area. I think it was, I don't, it was out in the middle of nowhere,

00:48:07.280 um, to drop off the petition and he shows up and I was like, yeah, I was like, this guy looks so

00:48:14.160 familiar, but there's no way I know this man. And I didn't see his, uh, his name tag there until

00:48:21.120 after. And I was like, no, I, cause who, I wonder what he would have thought, you know, if he could,

00:48:25.900 um, draw any sort of comment from how Tim Horton, right. Hockey's other greatest would have thought

00:48:34.220 about his corporation now implementing a vaccine mandate for underprivileged kids who are just

00:48:41.680 trying to head off to summer camp, who perhaps that is the only thing that they have to look

00:48:47.520 forward to all year. Um, so definite missed opportunity there. I was so disappointed when

00:48:52.240 I got back and noticed, uh, his name key, but, um, yeah, really, he was great by the way. He was a

00:48:58.240 super friendly cop. He's like, so you haven't gone on the property. And I was like, nope. And he's like,

00:49:02.020 do you intend to? I'm like, nope. They've already ran off, like scared, um, little cockroaches back

00:49:08.900 into the camp. The, the woman who came up to greet us initially at the gate and he was like, okay,

00:49:12.980 just stay off the property and, uh, good luck. And he was really nice and cool about it. So not

00:49:18.460 surprised. Yeah, that's funny. Um, uh, what was I going to say? I had something written down,

00:49:26.200 but it doesn't, Oh, I had the Trump post actually, because I hope we all find friends as loyal as Donald

00:49:31.640 Trump is to his, um, because the man has experienced his fair share of disloyalty directed at him.

00:49:37.880 But this is what he said. He's the greatest Canadian of them all. And I am therefore making

00:49:42.880 him a free agent because I don't want anyone in Canada to say anything bad about him. He supports

00:49:48.120 Canada the way it is, as he should, even though it's not nearly as good as it could be as part of

00:49:52.460 the greatest and most powerful country in the world, the good old USA. He says that, uh, Wayne and

00:49:59.240 Janet, his wonderful wife love Canada and they should only support Canada and whatever else

00:50:04.600 makes the Canadian people and governor Justin Trudeau happy. Like he's just, he's funny of

00:50:11.220 course, but also like, this is a good friend. You should have a good friend like Donald Trump.

00:50:16.480 What a nice man. Yeah, exactly. Um, and then here in Canada, do we, do you want to do a quick

00:50:23.260 ad break? Sheila, do we have an ad break or, um, maybe you're running up against the clock and we

00:50:28.460 should touch on, um, yeah. Okay. So let's do a quick ad break and then we'll come back and talk

00:50:35.240 about some of the tumultuous times ahead for Toronto pride. That's sad. Oh, Canadians know the national

00:50:45.360 anthem. They stand in silence to remember those who died for this country, but not every Canadian

00:50:51.480 knows their rights and freedoms. The Freedom Passport will change that. It looks and feels

00:50:57.400 like a Canadian passport, but contains the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in a portable,

00:51:04.060 easy to read format. The Freedom Passport, order one for yourself and for all the freedom lovers

00:51:10.400 that you love at freedompassport.ca.

00:51:13.500 I've got a better idea than tariffs. What would an America first strategy for Canada US trade look

00:51:23.820 like? Is there room for a Trump style mega deal even bigger than Greenland? A dozen years ago,

00:51:30.720 I wrote a bestselling book called ethical oil, the case for Canada's oil sands, which made the liberal

00:51:36.900 argument that the oil sands are the fair trade coffee of the world's oil industry. In my new book,

00:51:43.020 Deal of the Century, I look at Canada US trade through an America first lens, and I come to

00:51:48.840 the conclusion that far from putting tariffs on Canadian oil, Donald Trump should ink a 50-year,

00:51:55.120 $13 trillion deal to buy all 170 billion barrels of Canada's oil sands, shutting out China and giving

00:52:03.960 Canada the means to pay for a rebuilt military. And as for yanking Trudeau's chain, well, he'll be gone

00:52:11.140 as prime minister in a few weeks. But I've got a better suggestion for how Trump can slap Trudeau

00:52:17.040 around a bit without hurting America's economic interests. That's in the book, too. Get your copy

00:52:23.540 now at dealofthesenturybook.com. And trust me, Trudeau doesn't want you to see this.

00:52:30.480 All right. All right. We have Toronto.

00:52:36.100 No, I was going to say it's the end of DEI, at least the beginning of the end of DEI, I think,

00:52:42.600 in Toronto, of all places, with the Pride Parade, of all places. I'll let you explain. But

00:52:48.000 this gives me great hope.

00:52:50.520 The capital of DEI in Canada.

00:52:52.800 Yeah.

00:52:53.080 Well, I guess it's probably a toss up between Toronto and Ottawa. But

00:52:56.160 all right. This article comes from the Toronto Star. Toronto's Pride 2025 festival in peril

00:53:02.880 as large sponsors pull funding. And of course, of course, of course, it is because of the US

00:53:09.500 and their backlash against diversity. So Pride Toronto's executive director told the Star that

00:53:16.120 the companies will no longer be supporting Pride because their mandate has changed.

00:53:21.620 Um, three of its sponsors pulled their funding against amid a massive corporate push against

00:53:29.240 diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in the US. So I guess these are US based companies.

00:53:35.560 Um, and Kojo Modesti, Modest, he's the executive, or they, them are the executive director at Pride

00:53:43.340 Toronto, uh, told the Star that companies which operate on both sides of the border have informed

00:53:48.540 Pride Toronto. They will no longer support Pride because their mandate has changed. And, uh,

00:53:54.300 this is gaining more traction after, of course, US President Donald Trump, it's all his fault,

00:54:01.060 issued an executive order in January banning such programs in the US government, calling them

00:54:07.280 illegal and discriminatory. Um, so Pride Toronto is the nonprofit organization behind

00:54:14.420 the annual, and here is the alphabet 2SLGBTQI plus, I guess there's no A anymore, um, parade.

00:54:26.240 Uh, they do not disclose the names of the sponsors as they hope to continue to persuade them to

00:54:32.040 continue their funding. But what is really interesting here is that, um, Pride Toronto doesn't have

00:54:40.460 the very best or ethical track record. And I'm going to put a link here into our chat to refer back

00:54:50.940 because, uh, last year, if I can get my tabs in order here, um, last year, Pride Toronto had to

00:54:58.440 actually repay over $500,000 to the federal government, um, after they were found to be misusing

00:55:08.700 the funds that they were granted a total of $1.8 million they received last year for the Pride

00:55:18.260 parade from the federal government. And they had to repay almost, um, just over 500,000 of it because

00:55:26.240 they misused and misappropriated the funds. But I mean, that is an astonishing number that the federal

00:55:32.920 government sub, which is us, the Canadian taxpayer supplements, Pride Toronto to the tune of almost

00:55:40.280 $2 million for their what weekend two day, maybe it's a three day weekend event where they dress,

00:55:48.400 um, inappropriately and flaunt their nudity oftentimes in front of children.

00:55:55.860 Yep. This is, uh, I'm, I'm happy to see, uh, some of the sponsors pulling out of this and perhaps,

00:56:04.160 uh, you know, if, if, if the pride, something, if something like the pride festival can't fund its

00:56:11.040 own operations and it relies on the government under their guise of DEI initiatives and private

00:56:18.220 sponsors who are now saying like, you know, this isn't really a priority of ours. Um, if they can't

00:56:22.800 stay afloat, then I say good riddance. Yeah. You know what? Pay for your own parade. You know,

00:56:29.000 I'm, I'm tired of the forced compliance with this stuff. Uh, I like though the like passive aggressive

00:56:36.980 hint at blackmail, uh, in the middle of this, they say they do, they are not disclosing the names of

00:56:44.120 the sponsors brackets yet, uh, as it hopes to persuade them to continue their funding. So basically

00:56:52.200 give us the money back, or we're going to name you and we're going to do to you what we just did to

00:56:59.620 Wayne Gretzky. Um, they also go on to say that it, that two sponsors were gold partners contributing

00:57:07.160 at least $150,000 in cash and in kind goods. And another was silver contributing more than a hundred

00:57:16.220 thousand dollars. Just the sheer money involved here is outrageous. They say more than half of

00:57:23.960 pride Toronto's yearly income of approximately $5.5 million comes from sponsors. So guess where the

00:57:33.900 other half is coming from? Yeah, that's right. The taxpayers. Oh, don't worry though. TD bank is,

00:57:40.260 uh, they say they've supported Toronto pride for 20 years and they're committed to supporting them

00:57:45.560 this year. Uh, I hope this is the end of sex parade and leave the taxpayer dollars out of it.

00:57:53.680 If private sponsors are pulling out, well, guess what? Maybe that's because your cause isn't really

00:57:58.820 worthwhile. Yeah. Show it. Can we just scroll up and show the image of that, that parade at the top?

00:58:04.580 I mean, just look at that. Should any of us have to pay for this? I don't think so. We've got

00:58:11.200 keffias. We've got guys dressed as peacocks, scantily clad guys dressed as peacocks and the 1.00

00:58:16.520 hypochondriacs of the world. I don't want to pay for any of this. I'm just, I, I just think that

00:58:21.860 there's a better use of the taxpayers fund. They want to have their little half naked party. Um, 0.94

00:58:27.080 okay, whatever. Uh, but just don't make me pay for it. Um, and you know, of course,

00:58:33.440 Loblaw's group of companies, they are going to, uh, pony up a bunch of cash as they always do.

00:58:39.340 The Weston's pretty cozy with Justin Trudeau and you cannot walk into one of their stores,

00:58:44.920 be it shoppers, drug mart or a super store without, uh, being told that this is a place where

00:58:50.720 everyone's welcome. As if anybody is like, Oh, they don't have a flag here. I'm going to Safeway.

00:58:56.540 Like, it's just so stupid, but this is what the grocery stores are all about these days. I just 0.99

00:59:01.500 can't wait for the end of having to assess the politics of your grocery store. I can't wait till

00:59:08.700 that era is over. I'm just so sick of it. I'm also old enough to remember when Toronto Pride

00:59:14.800 Parade was just an afternoon thing. And it was like, you know, a great time if you wanted to

00:59:20.580 partake or go and watch some more freakish people out on display, probably not bring your kids. Um,

00:59:27.520 it was very much recognized as an adult only event. It took place in the gayborhood and that was it.

00:59:35.280 It was an afternoon. Um, when I was in university living in Toronto, I went to a pride parade,

00:59:42.340 a few of them actually. And I never remember seeing any kids there. I remember it being just

00:59:48.360 a small little street event parade. Now it has been so captured and radicalized into this massive event

00:59:58.220 takes over the entire downtown core. It takes over our everything in Canada. Canada becomes pride.

01:00:04.700 It's pride season. Now it's not just like a small afternoon thing. And, uh, so this blowing all of

01:00:12.460 this out of proportion, I think has obviously backfired as you see here and, uh, just make

01:00:18.480 pride parade a small afternoon event again. Yeah. They have the entire season. Maybe it wouldn't

01:00:23.960 require so much money if it wasn't a three month long ordeal. Like just do your parade and,

01:00:30.840 and fundraise for that. Don't reach into my pocket to do it. Maybe scale down. Maybe since you don't

01:00:39.840 have all these big sponsors, just scale her down, have a day like everybody else does. Instead they,

01:00:45.440 it's a summer long celebration. And maybe Kojo, Kojo, the executive, uh, director needs to take a

01:00:52.360 little pay cut and find, uh, something else to do than make this a year long salary inducing

01:00:58.480 endeavor of Pride Toronto. Should be just a volunteer thing. Anyway. All right. I think we can, uh,

01:01:09.280 we can wrap her up because you guys have the live stream, the Ontario election that nobody wanted

01:01:14.160 live stream tonight. Um, uh, if you folks at home are on social media, uh, I regret to inform you,

01:01:22.600 or maybe I'm excited to inform you. It depends, uh, that the Epstein files have been released today

01:01:29.440 to independent journalists and influencers to pour over. There are photos of people holding them,

01:01:37.460 uh, Jack Posobiec and others holding these binders of the Epstein files. So if you are on,

01:01:46.900 finally, it's about to get Western over there. So buckle up. Um, it's about time. And you know,

01:01:55.540 that there are prominent Democrats on there because they're being released now, right? Like that's how,

01:02:00.400 you know. Um, but, uh, anyways, we're, I think we're going to probably see some names of people

01:02:07.280 that you didn't want to see on there. Um, as is the case with these things, uh, you're usually

01:02:12.160 hiding in plain sight. Um, okay. I think that's it. Um, thanks Tamara for joining me on the show

01:02:18.400 today. Thank you to everybody who pitched in everybody who works behind the scenes at rebel news

01:02:28.160 about the live stream tonight. Yeah, it starts at 9 PM Eastern. So right as the polls close,

01:02:33.920 and then we will be watching how voters voted. Uh, I think that it's pretty clear that the

01:02:42.220 progressive conservatives, Doug Ford will again, retain a majority government. Um, but you never

01:02:48.060 really know. So we'll see tonight as the polls close at 9 PM Eastern. So come back for that. And

01:02:53.780 otherwise we will see you here again, same time in place, 1 to 2 PM Eastern tomorrow. Thanks everybody
