00:00:35.900 All right. Hey, everybody. Welcome to Rebel Roundup.

00:00:55.580 Today is Friday, June the 6th, which is just crazy to think that we're already almost into full-on summer.

00:01:05.660 Today is, we're running a little bit later than scheduled, so from 2 to 3 p.m. Eastern today, we will discuss all of the newsiest news items of the day, live and unscripted.

00:01:16.500 And I'm joined today, so I'm Tamara Ugolini, your host, and I'm joined today by our British Columbia correspondent, my friend and colleague, Drea Humphrey, out of, I think I mentioned, British Columbia.

00:01:28.300 Thanks so much for joining us, Drea, for the Friday Day Stream.

00:01:31.980 So, we're going to hit a couple of headliners today. Unemployment in Canada hits 7%, which is just absolutely terrible.

00:01:43.700 It shows, you know, how ineffective and ridiculously we are being governed here under the Liberals.

00:01:52.540 We have a border bill to talk about, which is sparking increasing privacy concerns.

00:01:57.740 We chatted a little bit about it yesterday, but there's even more that's kind of just packaged quietly into it under the guise of enhancing border security.

00:02:06.280 And then Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, is ready for a terror fight, so we'll get into some of his remarks.

00:02:11.400 But first, I want to let you know that we're streaming on a couple of different platforms, depending on where you want to watch us.

00:02:17.980 So, we are on X. We are live streaming also on YouTube, which you can give us a rumble, or sorry, a super chat or a super thanks if you're joining the stream after we are done going live.

00:02:32.080 And so, through a small monetary donation of $5 or more, you can have your comment or your tip or whatever you want to say read live on air by us.

00:02:40.780 It's a great way for our viewers to give some feedback or engage directly with the show, and of course, just have your comments and feedback featured on the stream.

00:02:50.740 And then we're also streaming, of course, on Rumble, and you can give us the same, it's just called a rumble rant over there.

00:02:57.160 So, depending on where you like to watch us, there's a couple different options, and we always appreciate your viewership and your continued support.

00:03:03.840 Because obviously, without that, we wouldn't be able to do this important work.

00:03:08.320 Also, we're hosting an event in Red Deer.

00:03:12.760 So, every year we do what's called a Rebel Live, and usually we go to Alberta, and there's usually one also in more so the GTA, the Greater Toronto Area in Ontario.

00:03:21.220 But this year, things have been a little chaotic, and in wake of the increased talks around Alberta separation or independence of the West, Saskatchewan, Alberta, we're hosting kind of like an emergency Rebel News Live that will be very Alberta and Western independent focused.

00:03:40.520 It will be happening on Saturday, June the 14th.

00:03:43.740 It's an all-day event, take place at the Red Deer Curling Center.

00:03:48.240 I think it doors open at 8 a.m.

00:03:50.400 So, it's like a jam-packed day, starting first thing in the morning, goes until whatever time in the evening.

00:03:57.060 And right now, we have early bird prices on.

00:03:59.560 They were supposed to originally be only until today.

00:04:01.700 We've extended that deadline until Monday, so you can get a $45 general admission early bird ticket at that price until Monday.

00:04:10.220 I think there's roughly 2,000 tickets.

00:04:12.680 And I know there were a few hundred already sold, so if you're debating, you're not sure, I would suggest going to grab up those early bird prices.

00:04:21.260 There's also a VIP package option available because we know that Western Canadians are facing unprecedented challenges.

00:04:28.860 They're suffocating under federal regulations, bureaucratic red tape, attacks on natural resources, and of course, the continued infringements on things like freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, freedom of your economic freedom.

00:04:44.660 Also, with all of these, this bureaucratic red tape.

00:04:48.640 So, this will be a day to have those robust discussions about what it means to be independent from the hammer of the liberal governments and the elites in Ottawa.

00:05:00.580 So, there will be a lot of powerful speakers there, including, of course, our boss and rebel founder, CEO, Ezra Levant, editor-in-chief, Sheila Gunn-Reed, Keith Wilson, constitutional lawyer, Western Standard, other independent media, from Juno News to Counter Signal.

00:05:19.280 And you can find a full list of those speakers at the webpage, where you can also get your tickets, which is donegettingscrewed.com.

00:05:29.760 So, you head over there, get those early bird prices, check out the plan and the itinerary, and who will be there to give some powerful addresses at this Rebel Live event.

00:05:41.080 So, that's June 14th, all day, at the Red Deer Curling Center, obviously, in Red Deer, Alberta.

00:05:47.960 So, hope to see you there.

00:05:49.740 Unfortunately, I won't be there, but others will be, and it's always a really great time.

00:05:54.580 I love coming to the Rebel Live events, and I just sadly will not be there this time.

00:05:59.560 So, without further ado, let's hit into some of this news, because we're late off the hop.

00:06:05.780 We've done some of the housekeeping.

00:06:06.860 So, let's chat about that Liberal bill, it's Bill C2, which threatens a whole bunch of things, including what we chatted about yesterday on the live stream, which is it gives police the power to open your mail, which was something that, since Canada's founding, has not been allowed.

00:06:27.180 RCMP would previously have to go undercover and pose as a male man, or male woman, or male person, whatever gender fluid term they're using these days.

00:06:35.080 And they would have to deliver the mail, and then arrest the person in order to access anything that they were flagging as suspicious.

00:06:43.140 But now, under this new bill, it's just a free-for-all.

00:06:46.260 They can infringe fully on your mail privacy, M-A-I-L, privacy, and open your mail without that. 0.96

00:06:54.380 So, here's another piece that's hidden and tucked into this border security bill, which is that it will make cash payments of $10,000 or more a criminal offense, which Freedom Advocates warn serves as a precursor for digital currencies.

00:07:17.520 So, it will criminalize businesses and charities that accept cash payments of $10,000 or more, even if it's done in smaller transactions.

00:07:27.620 And, as we note here, and this actually comes from the JCCF, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedom, they say this is very similar to Quebec's Bill 54, which was adopted in March 2024.

00:07:39.960 And that gave police the power to presume, so this is all just like assumption-based, presume any person carrying $2,000 or more in cash must have obtained it as the proceeds of crime.

00:07:54.840 Which, I mean, Quebec is always, has always been this like tyrannical government that just pushes the bar on all of these things.

00:08:05.200 And this isn't quite that bad, but who's to say, you know, this is a slippery slope that one day it will just, they'll lessen those increments more and more and more and more until it's now suspicious if you even carry cash.

00:08:18.160 I mean, the list goes on. It reminds me a lot of a report I did about the cashless society attempts in Nigeria, because they were putting limits on how much money you could take out if you didn't adopt to their, you know, their agenda with that.

00:08:32.840 And all hell broke loose. So, I ended up covering that because I could see these patterns starting to come here, but boy, I didn't see it coming in black and white this soon.

00:08:42.820 But it's really scary. And when asked, okay, well, what about our charter rights? What about that? What did the minister say? He said something like, oh, I believe we found the balance. There is no balance here.

00:08:54.040 The state's going to check your meow. They're going to have a problem with you doing a $10,000 payment. I mean, this is, it's scary stuff. It's really happening. Everything, the conspiracies are coming true, as always.

00:09:06.660 Yeah, he says also, this is the public safety minister, that this bill is essential to maintaining the safety and security of our country. And so that's, it's always done under the guise of safety, security, or convenience.

00:09:23.960 And I really appreciate that the JCCF has warned Canadians that, as I mentioned, this is a slippery slope, comparing it to legislation that's already in place in Quebec.

00:09:35.460 And even here, they post one of the first hyperlinks in that article is the post that JCCF put on X.

00:09:45.160 And they say here, point blank, restricting the use of cash is a dangerous step toward tyranny and totalitarianism. Cash gives citizens privacy, autonomy, and freedom from surveillance by government and by banks, credit card companies, and other corporations.

00:10:02.080 If we cherish our privacy, if we cherish our privacy, we need to defend our freedom to choose cash in the amount of our choosing.

00:10:09.180 This includes, for example, our right to pay $10,000 cash for a car or to donate $10,000 or more to a charity.

00:10:18.040 And I wholeheartedly agree. I would just actually went to the bank, I don't know, two, like less than a month ago.

00:10:24.180 And I pulled out $5,000.

00:10:27.740 Aren't you?

00:10:28.100 And they just, and they just, so we're in the middle of a renovation.

00:10:33.980 And anyway, so no, I'm not, I'm very far from it.

00:10:38.360 But I needed the cash to divvy up and like really get a grip on our budget for this renovation.

00:10:44.380 Because, you know, I similarly think that paying digitally for things, you know, just, you just tap, you tap, you tap.

00:10:51.180 It's so hard to keep track of those pennies and those cents.

00:10:55.640 And, you know, if you keep track of those pennies and cents, those pennies and your dollars make sense.

00:11:00.260 And so for me, I like to keep that physical cash to know what I'm working with, what I have left.

00:11:06.540 It's like, it just, it makes it more real when you're seeing it and you're feeling it and you're, and you're seeing it leave your hand.

00:11:13.300 You're like, okay, there it goes.

00:11:15.380 Anyway, and the bank teller was like, oh, are you buying something nice?

00:11:19.380 And they just have like a sneaky way of, of like insinuating, you know, trying to question where exactly you're pulling out your own money and where it's going.

00:11:29.400 And I was like, oh yeah, just doing the renovation, you know, just, and then I'm thinking like, why did I respond at all?

00:11:35.700 Like, yeah, this is, it's just such a subtle way for the banks to say, well, where are you putting this money?

00:11:43.520 And you don't even notice it unless you're thinking about it.

00:11:46.040 You know, it's none of your business.

00:11:47.760 Well, and if you take a certain amount, I've had it where they say you have to make an appointment to do that.

00:11:52.760 You have to line up forever to be told you have to make an appointment.

00:11:55.380 And I literally just left because I was like, well, I don't have time to an appointment.

00:11:59.020 Like, it's my money.

00:11:59.900 Give it to me.

00:12:00.660 Not to mention we see the attack on cash, just on businesses, certain businesses that aren't even accepting.

00:12:05.640 Cash anymore.

00:12:07.200 So I think the JCCF is absolutely right.

00:12:10.320 This is an issue we all need to stand hard and firm against.

00:12:13.200 I don't, when someone says they don't do cash, I literally walk right out.

00:12:17.240 I just like, it has to be a statement on the spot.

00:12:21.340 That's so funny that you mentioned this just piqued my memory.

00:12:25.540 There's a little amusement park in, I think it's Cambridge, Ontario, or I don't remember where exactly it's located.

00:12:34.140 It's called Santa's Village.

00:12:35.700 And I'm going to just dig up the link quickly because I loved reading through the comments.

00:12:40.700 So just earlier this, sorry, last month, at the end of May, they announced that they're going cashless.

00:12:47.400 And I'm just pulling up the link here to share so we can just quickly show it on screen as we run through this.

00:12:53.440 But, um, it's like a children's amusement park.

00:12:56.680 It's called Santa's Village.

00:12:58.760 Um, I can't remember where it's, it's somewhere near the Muskoka is Bracebridge.

00:13:03.520 It's Bracebridge, Ontario.

00:13:04.620 And they say here, and if we can pull up that link, Santa's Village is going cashless.

00:13:09.820 And they're like, so excited.

00:13:11.360 And they say, um, that cash can be exchanged for in-park gift cards at the admission gate in $5 denominations.

00:13:19.680 Now they only said that, that you can see that's an update because people were so, are so outraged in the comments.

00:13:26.500 Like I could not find one that was supportive of their move to go cashless.

00:13:32.140 People in the comments are like, I hate this.

00:13:34.480 We won't be visiting.

00:13:36.060 And it sounds like a lot of people actually, their children save cash and their allowances and things like that throughout the year.

00:13:42.520 And then they go to Santa's Village, which is a child's amusement park.

00:13:45.900 And they can go to the park gift shop or the, whatever it is, the admission gate and spend their hard-earned money.

00:13:54.120 And they can also learn that cash exchange, giving change, you know, the math involved with handling cash is such a great learning opportunity for so many kids.

00:14:04.880 And, um, instills that value system onto them because again, they're seeing that physically leave their possession.

00:14:12.760 So people were mad.

00:14:15.200 They were big mad at this decision.

00:14:17.400 And yeah, it was so nice to see it.

00:14:19.180 If anybody's interested, like just pull up this post from May 22nd, read through the comments.

00:14:23.820 And I'm like, finally, people are seeing how important it is to keep cash.

00:14:28.660 Cash is king.

00:14:30.160 And, um, this ridiculous nonsense, good cash can be exchanged for in-park gift cards at the admission gate in $5 denominations.

00:14:37.580 And people were like, well, what if my kid didn't spend the entirety of their $5 denomination gift card, whatever, like how do they get change?

00:14:46.840 Can they buy, like sell it back?

00:14:49.040 What if your debit or credit's down, right?

00:14:51.200 We've seen that too.

00:14:52.300 Like where, where the power goes out or debit or servers lose whatever for a day.

00:14:57.980 Like Bell was down a couple of weeks ago.

00:14:59.740 A lot of stores didn't have their debits up and running.

00:15:02.800 Well, Starbucks just can't even run.

00:15:05.200 Like if that happens, they can't run at all.

00:15:07.240 But isn't it more work at this point?

00:15:09.100 Like now they're coming up with a card system and everything like this.

00:15:11.920 Like just keep our national currency and that's that.

00:15:16.360 Exactly.

00:15:17.380 Oh my gosh.

00:15:18.580 Someone's right.

00:15:19.320 Someone writes in here.

00:15:20.180 I hate when venues, parks, et cetera, make this decision.

00:15:22.680 We need to keep cash as an option.

00:15:24.880 Exactly.

00:15:25.660 If you want to use digital, you want to use your debit, tap, MasterCard, visa, whatever, all day long, go ahead.

00:15:31.700 But for those people who, who value the using cash and want to have that as an option, it's absolutely ridiculous to deny them that option.

00:15:40.220 It's like, I didn't carry that much cash until they started doing this.

00:15:43.780 Then I want cash.

00:15:44.400 This is how I am with everything.

00:15:45.840 I didn't have a gun or anything.

00:15:47.460 And then it's like, I got to get my gun license.

00:15:49.180 They're getting rid of the guns.

00:15:50.140 Like just the typical rebel, you stepping on the beach kind of thing.

00:15:55.780 That's just how we are.

00:15:57.500 That's right.

00:15:58.160 I carry cash.

00:15:59.460 You can't do something.

00:16:00.760 We're like, actually, we're going to do that thing now.

00:16:03.420 Yeah, exactly.

00:16:04.840 Anyway, so as we mentioned, Canada's unemployment rate is at a multi-year high, finds a job report.

00:16:12.120 This comes from Bloomberg, and I think it was originally reported on by Reuters.

00:16:15.960 Almost a nine-year high outside of the pandemic years, which, of course, were unprecedented lockdowns, restrictions, closures, etc.

00:16:24.820 So, yes, Canada's unemployment rate is at the highest level in almost nine years with 1.6 million jobless people in the country, the data showed on Friday.

00:16:38.060 So, just today.

00:16:39.020 It comes from Statistics Canada, which adds that the total number of jobless people in May was almost 14% higher than this time last year.

00:16:53.500 And again, they excluded COVID-era data because that was just unprecedented, the level of people who were unemployed at that time from 2020 to 2021.

00:17:04.660 And then I'm just looking for it here, but, of course, they say that this could be due to the impact of tariffs on Canada and factory shutdowns, this sort of thing.

00:17:18.420 Yeah, except it's been steadily rising long before that, so I don't think that's exactly what it is.

00:17:26.080 I don't know if you have any young adults in your family.

00:17:28.580 I do, and I can see it big time with them.

00:17:31.200 You know, they're in college, they're in university, they're trying to get their side jobs, and they can't get hired wherever they're going.

00:17:38.720 And then just call it like it's the, there's a lot of foreigners working the jobs that typically, when I was younger, I would have been working, and my friends would have been working.

00:17:47.140 There is initiatives.

00:17:48.380 I was at Popeye's Chicken the other day, and I just asked.

00:17:53.680 I happened to notice all of the staff had strong accents.

00:17:57.160 They were all South Asians.

00:17:58.440 And I just said, hey, how did you get this job?

00:18:00.700 And she said she applied on an app in India and got the job.

00:18:05.580 So that's certainly not helping the joblessness in Canada as well, because the question becomes what demographics are jobless as well.

00:18:14.880 Yeah, that's just it.

00:18:15.500 I was looking, I thought I read something in here was because population had continued to grow while the, while job opportunities and the labor market stagnated.

00:18:30.280 And so we're welcoming more and more people into Canada, but our job market is not growing at the same rate.

00:18:37.620 And so I thought it mentioned it in here.

00:18:40.420 Maybe I was reading a different article, but you know, that's, that's the basis of it.

00:18:45.160 That is, there's the root of the problem right there.

00:18:47.800 And yet we, I have my 17 year old stepson has been out job hunting for several months and it is slim pickings for young.

00:18:58.340 And I hesitate to say it, but I will young white males out there.

00:19:02.920 Not just, not just white anymore.

00:19:05.300 No, but there are clear, there are clear descriptors though.

00:19:09.140 If you're not a visible minority, then you're not considered for this employment, especially a lot of places get federal grants for hiring students.

00:19:17.880 And there's all, there's a whole bunch of strings attached in those federal grants of who you can hire, you know, whether, what demographic they're from, et cetera, et cetera.

00:19:28.860 And so it's tough out there.

00:19:30.180 Just say it, Tamara, it's systemic racism, okay?

00:19:33.580 Against white people. 0.72

00:19:36.000 There you have it. 0.85

00:19:37.400 You heard it here first.

00:19:38.640 And they're talking about removing the COVID era, but that's impossible.

00:19:41.840 You can't remove it.

00:19:42.820 There were hundreds of thousands of businesses that dropped many back down on their staff.

00:19:47.120 So we are still living the pain of those, of the consequences we inflicted upon ourselves in that area too, because we haven't recovered from that economically.

00:19:57.420 Yeah.

00:19:58.040 We just showed a graph there that the student summer job market has imploded.

00:20:03.360 If we can pull that one back up, 20% unemployment for returning students, 22% for young men.

00:20:12.520 But these are, that is our future.

00:20:15.280 That is literally like the bread makers of society there, 22%.

00:20:20.700 Then throw in whatever AI is going to do to jobs in the next, I don't know, three years or something like that.

00:20:27.600 It's going to be scary.

00:20:29.520 Worst May on record since 2009.

00:20:32.800 If you're 18, sorry, if you're 15 to 24 and looking for work, good luck.

00:20:38.540 Yeah.

00:20:39.260 Ottawa is too busy importing cheap, temporary foreign labor.

00:20:44.220 Yeah.

00:20:44.540 There you have it.

00:20:46.140 Yep.

00:20:46.880 That's the facts.

00:20:48.560 Immigration Minister Mark Miller, a few months, former, then Immigration Minister Mark Miller, said we put a cap on that.

00:20:55.040 But if the data has anything to say about that, it wasn't really true.

00:21:00.680 But I mean, are we surprised given the Liberals' track record?

00:21:05.280 Nana Awake gives $10 for our cash chat.

00:21:07.860 Thanks so much, Nana Awake.

00:21:09.360 I use cash all the time and leave as well if they don't take it.

00:21:13.460 But what I find shocking is how many young people struggle to make change.

00:21:18.300 Schools need to focus on math, sciences, and English, not ideology.

00:21:22.040 Yeah, I am always astounded.

00:21:24.920 I actually have started to notice now that if I even offer cash, they're not prepared to take it.

00:21:32.200 They've automatically pressed debit or whatever, and they're just waiting for you to tap.

00:21:36.740 And then you're handing them a 20, and they're like, oh, sorry, we're just so accustomed to taking tap or you just tapping it.

00:21:45.200 They're not even looking for cash anymore, let alone prepared to give change.

00:21:49.340 I've noticed this as well, too.

00:21:50.780 And really good advice I got a long time ago when cash was more normal was to count your change because people make mistakes.

00:21:58.560 So I've always saved like a little bit here and there, but I've noticed in the last few years, like it's almost like I would say 50% of the time that they're giving me back the wrong change.

00:22:08.080 So always count your change.

00:22:09.700 And I've seen a real increase of people not knowing how to count anymore.

00:22:13.380 So, yeah, the dumbing down of society.

00:22:18.320 Yeah.

00:22:18.660 And I mean, here at my house, we try to instill that sort of thing.

00:22:24.560 Like this is this denomination.

00:22:26.680 This is how you make change.

00:22:27.800 This many quarters makes a dollar.

00:22:29.500 Like working through all of those sorts of things.

00:22:31.380 And it always astounds me that teenagers just don't have that skill.

00:22:35.680 So hopefully and as somebody who used to work in the food and beverage industry, like we were working with cash all the time.

00:22:41.880 I was giving people change and they were paying their bills with cash and having to count backwards and figure out tips and tip out at the end of the night percentages.

00:22:52.460 Like, yeah, that is such a necessary skill.

00:22:55.800 I was a coat check girl.

00:22:56.960 So we had to do all that too.

00:22:59.080 It was all cash.

00:23:00.320 Exactly.

00:23:00.980 Let's keep cash. 0.97

00:23:02.400 Keep cash king.

00:23:04.880 All right.

00:23:05.660 So moving along, we have, you know, let's actually go.

00:23:09.740 Let's run a quick ad break and then we will come back for more on Ford's tariff fight.

00:23:16.920 Oh, gosh.

00:23:18.340 Who let Ford out? 0.99

00:23:21.060 Hey, what do you think about Alberta independence?

00:23:23.360 What do you think about Alberta trying to get a better deal within Canada?

00:23:26.740 Do you think Alberta should have the right to vote in a referendum to separate the same way Quebec did?

00:23:31.800 There's a lot of things to talk about.

00:23:33.840 Can Canada be fixed or has the West tried that, done that, been there and it's just not working?

00:23:39.400 Well, we're going to talk about all these things in an amazing day long conference in Red Deer, the heart of Alberta on Saturday, June 14th.

00:23:50.100 Go to donegettingscrewed.com to get your tickets now.

00:23:54.180 It's going to be a full day.

00:23:54.920 We'll start with a continental breakfast.

00:23:56.740 We'll have panel discussions.

00:23:58.400 We'll have keynote speakers.

00:23:59.500 We'll even have a debate.

00:24:01.020 I think that's going to be the highlight of it.

00:24:03.160 David Legg, former advisor to the Alberta government, is going to make the case for Canada.

00:24:08.200 Keith Wilson, lawyer, freedom activist.

00:24:11.240 He was with the Freedom Convoy.

00:24:12.560 He'll be making the case for independence.

00:24:14.680 We'll have other people in the debates, a media panel, and people of different points of view, including different political parties.

00:24:21.640 There's going to be a bit of a trade show there, too.

00:24:24.240 So we'll serve you two meals, but more than that, we'll serve you ideas you just can't get anywhere else.

00:24:29.800 But it's coming up quick, and I promise you this event will sell out.

00:24:33.840 There's only room for 1,000 people.

00:24:35.980 And I know that there have been 1,000-person meetings about this subject all over the province.

00:24:41.480 In fact, we had an event in Calgary that sold out in two days when we had only 350 seats.

00:24:46.800 So don't be disappointed.

00:24:48.740 Go to donegettingscrewed.com and get your tickets now.

00:24:52.880 I'll be there.

00:24:53.540 Sheila Gunn-Reed will be there.

00:24:54.600 So many interesting people.

00:24:55.980 Our friends in other media companies like Western Standard, Juno News, and Counter-Signal.

00:25:01.420 It's going to be a great day.

00:25:03.020 That's Saturday, June 14th, in Red Deer, Alberta, all day long.

00:25:07.680 Go to donegettingscrewed.com to get your ticket now.

00:25:10.680 Don't wait.

00:25:11.480 I don't want you to be locked out.

00:25:13.160 It's going to be full.

00:25:14.460 See you there.

00:25:15.240 That's donegettingscrewed.com.

00:25:25.980 Now, this news of the new tariff retaliatory measures comes after President Trump doubled

00:25:34.560 the U.S. tariffs duties on steel and aluminum earlier this week.

00:25:40.620 On Wednesday, he doubled the tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum from 25% up to 50%.

00:25:48.660 And those industries were already sort of starting to crumble under the weight of the 25% tariffs.

00:25:54.320 And now we're up to 50%.

00:25:56.520 So just as a precursor, Danielle Smith, I want to mention the Alberta premier, went to the 1.00

00:26:05.300 United States this week.

00:26:07.300 And she told American media that these don't make any sense.

00:26:11.780 And I think we have a clip of her there.

00:26:17.580 This originally, I think, came from CTV News.

00:26:21.260 And if we have that clip, we could just play it for you.

00:26:24.900 And if not, then we can move on.

00:26:26.520 So we have some clips I know of Doug Ford and I think actually just Doug Ford.

00:26:39.680 All right.

00:26:40.300 So we do have the clip of Smith.

00:26:42.580 I'm just trying to see if I can find it a little bit faster.

00:26:45.400 But, you know, that's been her stance this whole time.

00:26:49.340 She was like, so yeah, it's on the CTV News clip.

00:26:53.240 I think it's about 20 seconds in.

00:26:55.500 But her stance this whole time has been, okay, let's tighten up our borders.

00:26:59.220 You know what?

00:26:59.660 Trump has pointed out some clear security issues that we have with mass unfettered immigration,

00:27:07.680 illegal aliens, not even, I hesitate to even call it immigration because they're just entering 1.00

00:27:11.980 our country illegally.

00:27:12.820 And then, of course, the fentanyl trafficking, trade, human trafficking, all these things

00:27:17.820 that are happening at our very porous, broad borders between Canada and the United States.

00:27:22.480 But Danielle Smith took very, she acted very quickly and she implemented enhanced border 1.00

00:27:30.180 security, whether that be enhanced policing, RCMP at the border, drones, dog sniffing.

00:27:37.160 I mean, she took it seriously and she responded and I think responded appropriately.

00:27:43.080 And then, so this continued trade war and these threats and these increases.

00:27:48.560 I mean, the rest of Canada, we're still lagging pretty far behind, I would say, other than

00:27:54.080 appointing a border czar who has had a bunch of conversations, but I haven't otherwise heard

00:27:59.920 anything from them.

00:28:01.440 That we're not allowed to know about.

00:28:03.140 Like, we don't even get to hear about a conversation.

00:28:05.820 Top secret.

00:28:06.900 Yeah.

00:28:07.740 Top secret, Stephen, just average Canadians who care about the security of our country.

00:28:11.840 But here we have the Smith clip.

00:28:13.760 So we'll just play this one before we get into it.

00:28:15.720 I've always felt that tariffs are their own punishment.

00:28:18.560 And I still don't understand why Americans want to punish the consumers of aluminum when

00:28:23.960 you get 60% of it from Canada.

00:28:26.800 It's also a product that Americans can't produce themselves. 0.90

00:28:30.720 You don't have bauxite.

00:28:31.560 So there is no way to have a homegrown aluminum industry.

00:28:34.780 So we're kind of scratching our heads.

00:28:37.480 Yeah.

00:28:38.380 That's how you do it.

00:28:39.840 She's so tough, but she's still relatable.

00:28:43.260 She's still over there.

00:28:44.520 She's talking to them.

00:28:45.520 She's not dividing a wall with divisiveness.

00:28:48.340 And she's just speaking logic.

00:28:49.820 She's always doing well on the international stage and showing that she's at least trying

00:28:53.980 the best for her people.

00:28:55.580 And then you got Dougie, Dougie, Dougie Ford.

00:28:58.440 Doug Ford, whose video clip we'll get to in a moment.

00:29:01.300 But stark contrast because he says, we're going to come out guns blazing.

00:29:05.240 And it's like, if you compare what the way that he's speaking with how Daniel Smith just

00:29:11.780 approached that right there, very reasonably based in fact, based in, hey, this is kind

00:29:17.860 of a head scratcher.

00:29:18.700 We don't know why this doesn't make any sense to us.

00:29:21.560 Help us understand how this makes sense.

00:29:23.880 And then look, here's what you have from Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford.

00:29:27.860 Well, I think guns blazing starts if President Trump says, no, we don't have a deal.

00:29:34.120 We're going to continue tariffing your country. 0.75

00:29:37.300 I find it ironic that China is getting a better treatment than its closest friends and allies.

00:29:41.960 That's unacceptable.

00:29:43.680 We should be the first country in line to get a fair trade deal because it benefits Americans

00:29:50.080 and Canadians.

00:29:51.060 I really believe that he's short sighted.

00:29:56.900 He's not seeing the forest beyond the trees right now, President Trump, because at the

00:30:01.400 end of the day, it's going to hurt Americans across the board.

00:30:05.580 Anything that's produced by steel, we've seen it.

00:30:08.680 The cost has gone up 16 percent because of his actions.

00:30:12.500 What the problem is, the problem is China. 0.98

00:30:14.520 They're shipping in steel, slapping a flag of certain countries on their steel and saying,

00:30:21.240 hey, it was made here.

00:30:22.380 Well, it's not made there.

00:30:23.820 That's the flow we have to stop.

00:30:25.400 I mentioned that to the Prime Minister and the President has to realize that as well.

00:30:30.880 Everything's on the table right now.

00:30:32.740 Hopefully we won't come to that.

00:30:35.260 Let's try to strike a deal in the best interests of Americans and Canadians.

00:30:38.960 Yeah, and I appreciate that they've come away from this, the dollar for dollar thing that

00:30:47.680 they were saying before, because I'm like, I'm pretty sure our dollar is trading way less

00:30:53.140 than the U.S. dollar.

00:30:54.440 So are you accounting for that discrepancy or how are we going to hit back with dollar

00:31:00.680 for dollar tariffs when our dollar is worth way less than the American dollar?

00:31:05.480 Um, but obviously they've had several months now to work through and reach an agreement

00:31:14.360 and get negotiations going and have something in place and that has continually failed.

00:31:19.720 So this back and forth, and I've called it before, I'll say it again, this political ping

00:31:23.660 pong of trade war nonsense and back and forth is just getting to be exhausting, trying to keep

00:31:31.600 up with it.

00:31:32.760 And, um, it's, it's so frustrating.

00:31:36.420 These are the people we elect to represent us because they act like high school drama queens.

00:31:42.380 Yeah.

00:31:42.860 And we elect, we elect them over and over again.

00:31:45.820 It's even more frustrating.

00:31:47.280 I mean, guns a blazing.

00:31:49.060 Like, did you just threaten war with the United States?

00:31:51.420 Because I'm pretty sure we're not going to win that type of war either as we're losing

00:31:54.860 with the tariff war right now.

00:31:56.300 Um, but he said some facts in there, but then again, with this rhetoric that comes out, it's

00:32:01.740 like Doug Ford is part of what, in my opinion, of what is making it so hard to make a deal,

00:32:08.000 especially when we contrast Ms. Smith before the retaliatory approach is just not working.

00:32:15.200 And it is hard to understand where Trump is coming from.

00:32:18.220 Just like Smith said, we're scratching our head.

00:32:21.000 Um, but that's not the way either.

00:32:22.520 And that's not helping and who's suffering the Canadians, uh, the steel workers.

00:32:26.980 And to a certain extent, you know, maybe, maybe the U S will be hurt a little bit with

00:32:31.240 that too, but for sure we are, and we've got to get our act together and actually lead

00:32:35.740 quick.

00:32:36.300 Yeah.

00:32:36.820 My cat agrees.

00:32:38.280 I can hear in the background.

00:32:39.800 He's like, yes, go Trump.

00:32:42.360 Um, Ford was, he originally said that they, he threatened to cut off electricity to the United

00:32:49.340 States and was like the people that are suffering will suffer most are like middle-class average

00:32:54.300 Americans.

00:32:54.720 And he just said that with a straight face as though it was like making him happy at the

00:33:01.060 thought of cutting people off from electricity instead of taking steps to secure our border,

00:33:09.020 which is now being done, uh, as something that will simultaneously infringe on the privacy

00:33:16.580 and security of Canadians.

00:33:19.980 I mean, the whole thing is topsy turvy, crazy town, but, uh, here we are living in it as per 1.00

00:33:26.120 usual.

00:33:26.980 We have, uh, a couple of super chats.

00:33:29.480 I just want to get to here, um, before we move on, because I think we covered everything

00:33:35.660 in that topic there, but ableist SL gives $5.

00:33:40.340 Thank you so much.

00:33:41.160 Do you think that Kian's dad, David Bexty would make a superior replacement for Pierre

00:33:46.760 Polyev as he could organize a merger with the PPC?

00:33:51.000 I didn't know that.

00:33:52.100 And do you suggest mass voting him into CPC leadership?

00:33:59.000 Jeez, that's a loaded question.

00:34:00.600 And, um, I am not overly familiar with David Bexty.

00:34:05.160 I'll be honest.

00:34:05.980 I know he did, uh, his first speech in the House of Commons was really great and, and

00:34:10.260 really great from the Western independence lens.

00:34:15.440 Yeah.

00:34:15.620 And so, um, I think he's really great on that stuff, whether or not that would be something

00:34:21.000 that would represent Canada more as a whole.

00:34:25.880 I can't say maybe, yeah, here, do we have a quick clip?

00:34:30.140 I think it was like eight minutes.

00:34:32.160 Yeah.

00:34:32.740 This is great, but it's too soon to tell how he would be as a leader overall, but I'm rooting

00:34:37.400 for him.

00:34:38.180 Right.

00:34:38.540 Yeah.

00:34:38.980 Why not?

00:34:39.400 And I didn't know, I didn't know that he had a friendly relationship with the PPC, but

00:34:45.500 I think, I mean, a merger at this point would, I think, garner a really successful and strong

00:34:51.460 conservative party that's rooted in actual conservatism, um, rather than being more on

00:34:58.140 the progressive conservative side, as we see with people like premier Doug Ford, who is

00:35:04.160 textbook progressive and less conservative.

00:35:07.580 Um, so I don't know, I guess we'll find out more in the days to come, but, uh, pure

00:35:13.560 Polyev, you know, it wasn't a good scene for him after this, the election loss, we have

00:35:20.980 politicians never lies gives $3 and 33 cents.

00:35:24.060 I think you gave $2 and 22 cents yesterday.

00:35:26.180 So thank you.

00:35:26.980 Uh, once again.

00:35:28.140 Danielle Smith puts every other politician to shame. 1.00

00:35:31.680 Yeah.

00:35:31.980 I, you know what?

00:35:32.840 I told, I tend to agree.

00:35:34.900 Um, I think especially, you know, as a woman, right?

00:35:37.840 Everyone, the Mark Carney was just out there announcing, I think today or yesterday.

00:35:41.900 Oh, we have the largest woman cabinet in Canadian history, which is talking points once again, 0.99

00:35:47.640 recycled from Justin Trudeau.

00:35:49.360 But, um, there she is a strong, independent woman who can articulate herself, has very reasonable,

00:35:56.420 rational responses and approaches and, uh, gets hated on by every other premier, almost every other premier male in Canada.

00:36:08.500 It's craziness.

00:36:10.160 It's crazy.

00:36:10.840 And she schools the men on topics like, um, you know, the eco topics.

00:36:15.320 She knows her stuff.

00:36:16.400 She comes to the table with the science and the, the economics behind it.

00:36:20.240 She's a powerhouse.

00:36:21.220 She's somebody that kids should be learning about in school with our feminist, liberal leaders. 1.00

00:36:27.160 Uh, and you're right.

00:36:27.860 They just vilify her instead.

00:36:29.940 So that falls on us though.

00:36:31.420 That falls on us.

00:36:32.340 I'm always passionate about the kids.

00:36:33.740 So make sure you're talking to the kids about her, even if they're not into politics, let them know about our political leaders that do shine and stand out.

00:36:41.320 She's definitely one.

00:36:43.280 Exactly.

00:36:44.380 Yeah.

00:36:44.620 And it's just crazy.

00:36:45.420 I mean, I'll throw to the latest polling results from, uh, that come from polling Canada.

00:36:51.600 Uh, liberals are up five points.

00:36:55.180 They're polling right now.

00:36:57.280 And so this was just published, uh, late yesterday afternoon.

00:37:01.700 They are sitting at 54%.

00:37:04.420 Conservative Party of Canada is 37 down seven points.

00:37:08.860 Lord help us.

00:37:09.740 NDP is, you know, plateauing at the same and green.

00:37:12.940 Oh my gosh.

00:37:13.740 Why are the greens even a thing?

00:37:15.560 They're at three, up two points, polling at 3%.

00:37:19.720 These, and, uh, yeah, it comes from ledger May 25th poll that they ran sample size, you know, 883 Canadians.

00:37:30.020 So what's it going to look like in some years down the road?

00:37:34.580 What did we just have 817,000 immigrants rushed in the first four months this year?

00:37:41.340 It's continuing at that pace.

00:37:43.060 So what's the support going to look like?

00:37:46.100 Yeah.

00:37:46.780 Yeah.

00:37:47.340 That's a great point.

00:37:49.600 Great point.

00:37:50.340 And, uh, as the handouts continue from the liberals, of course.

00:37:55.080 All right.

00:37:55.760 Let's hit maybe, uh, another quick ad break and then we'll come back for some more.

00:38:00.400 Do you agree with me?

00:38:03.000 It is time to make Canada great again.

00:38:06.780 And that is why we at Rebel News have teamed up with MCGA hats to introduce, well, the fashion sensation of 2025.

00:38:18.580 Oh, and by the way, these beautiful hats, they are made in Canada.

00:38:23.300 We don't rely on cheap imports coming over from China.

00:38:28.580 So what are you waiting for, folks?

00:38:30.000 Show your pride.

00:38:32.220 This is the perfect thing for a patriot to wear.

00:38:35.460 Or maybe there's a patriot in your life that you would like to gift such a hat.

00:38:40.920 Please go to mcgahats.ca.

00:38:45.640 That's mcgahats.ca.

00:38:49.540 Don't be shy about it.

00:38:51.200 Wear this cap.

00:38:51.980 Let everybody know you want to make Canada great again.

00:38:57.760 Canadians know the national anthem.

00:39:00.640 They stand in silence to remember those who died for this country.

00:39:04.680 But not every Canadian knows their rights and freedoms.

00:39:08.220 The Freedom Passport will change that.

00:39:10.660 It looks and feels like a Canadian passport, but contains the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in a portable, easy-to-read format.

00:39:19.540 The Freedom Passport.

00:39:21.240 Order one for yourself and for all the freedom lovers that you love at freedompassport.ca.

00:39:27.860 All right.

00:39:33.100 On the same vein of mass immigration into our country and the support that it garners for the liberals, we have another piece of legislation that they've just introduced.

00:39:44.240 And I think it's actually a revamp of previously introduced legislation.

00:39:47.700 But it makes citizenship available by dissent.

00:39:54.080 And so it extends citizen by dissent rules beyond the first generation.

00:40:00.900 And that means that it would automatically give citizenship to anyone who would be a citizen today if not for the first generation limit, which under the current rules, a Canadian citizen born outside of Canada cannot pass their citizenship to their child who was also born outside of the country.

00:40:23.140 So the new legislation would allow them to access citizenship beyond that first generation as long as the parent spent at least a thousand, just over a thousand cumulative days or three years physically in Canada prior to the birth of their child.

00:40:43.560 So this is absolutely crazy.

00:40:46.420 So you could don't have to be a citizen, come into the country, be here for at least three years, leave, give birth to a child in another country, and then they can still be eligible for citizenship just because you were here for three years.

00:41:06.180 And it says the new legislation will create unknown but significant number of Canadian citizens around the world.

00:41:14.640 And it's going to happen overnight.

00:41:16.060 Listen to this.

00:41:16.740 Foreign nationals who had been seeking to come to Canada as permanent residents before, but who may have been unable to meet the stringent point requirements under the current assessment tools, may now find that they are already Canadian citizens, just like that.

00:41:34.060 This is ludicrous.

00:41:36.740 Oh my gosh. 0.98

00:41:38.200 So they're making Canadians overnight. 0.78

00:41:41.220 And then they're just going to come here.

00:41:42.600 And they can do this dating all the way back to the Dominion of Canada prior to 1947.

00:41:51.600 Like, this is absolute...

00:41:54.600 Every day, I swear, I say, things cannot get any crazier here in Canada.

00:42:01.280 We've reached peak crazy.

00:42:03.600 Okay, we've got to rein it in now.

00:42:05.280 Now is like the peak and we're going to...

00:42:06.600 It's all going to get under control.

00:42:09.440 Well, not only that, like the whole removing stringent barriers.

00:42:13.280 Like, the people that have come here before, they fought to come here.

00:42:16.480 They, you know, it was the traditional story.

00:42:19.220 I came here with like $2 in my pocket.

00:42:22.320 My old boss would tell me and things like that.

00:42:25.000 And the lady who does my eyebrows, she was shocked.

00:42:27.600 She doesn't follow politics. 0.53

00:42:29.680 She just does eyebrows. 1.00

00:42:30.800 She's, you know, an Indian lady that's been here for years. 1.00

00:42:34.880 She was so shocked when I was telling her some of this.

00:42:37.360 She's like, do you know what I had to do to come here to be a business?

00:42:40.660 I had to give you guys $60,000 just to come here with one person so I could start a business

00:42:47.080 when I came here.

00:42:48.080 And she was just blown away about all the handouts.

00:42:50.860 She's like, they got to go.

00:42:51.960 And so it's not when you hand it out that easy.

00:42:56.860 I mean, that goes with beyond immigration.

00:43:00.020 If you do too much for people, they don't care themselves and they don't have the drive

00:43:04.180 to do it.

00:43:04.800 So you cannot coddle adults around the world and just make them Canadians when they didn't

00:43:10.160 even try hard enough to do so.

00:43:13.260 Why do you expect or how do you expect someone to follow our laws if they haven't even had

00:43:20.100 to go through any sort of law to get here in the first place?

00:43:24.420 Or they're just disavowing it completely and skirting those regular checks and balance and

00:43:28.720 coming here illegally.

00:43:30.180 I mean, I think it's at the very end of this article, it shows that they're opening these

00:43:36.580 floodgates is just going to contribute to an already crazy backlog.

00:43:42.780 Lawyers, the lawyers that CTV News found to talk about this, they, you know, express concern

00:43:48.180 or sorry, worry about the ability to process a significant number of new applications.

00:43:54.700 They worry that the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada is not equipped to handle

00:44:00.580 the influx of applications.

00:44:03.220 As of April 30th, there were currently more than 2 million applications in their inventory,

00:44:09.200 of which 242,500 are for citizenships.

00:44:15.840 And the backlog currently stands at 760,000 applications.

00:44:21.660 So this is only going to get worse.

00:44:24.000 And then we have estimates that we don't even know for certain, but are in the range of 200

00:44:28.920 to 500,000 refugee claimants who aren't actually eligible to stay in Canada that we just don't

00:44:35.380 even know where they went.

00:44:36.600 They're just like, oh, we're not sure.

00:44:39.180 It could be 200,000, could be 500,000 or like maybe even more, but they're gone.

00:44:45.720 So oops, I guess.

00:44:48.140 Like, yeah, oops, we don't know where they are.

00:44:50.740 And then they say, oh, we're working hard on figuring something else.

00:44:53.380 Yeah.

00:44:53.700 Figuring out how to get them in as fast as possible for the, before the next election.

00:44:57.800 That's my theory.

00:44:59.600 Exactly.

00:45:00.320 It's becoming obvious at this point.

00:45:03.300 Exactly.

00:45:04.660 All right.

00:45:05.040 Well, we hit all the headliners.

00:45:06.180 Let's get to a couple of the extras here that we have.

00:45:10.880 Well, on the same vein, why don't we just chat quickly about how immigrants own and rent 1.00

00:45:15.580 homes at higher rates now than Canadian-born, the Canadian-born populace.

00:45:21.900 This new report comes from Statistics Canada, which shows immigrants are both owning and renting

00:45:27.900 out more homes than those born in this country.

00:45:31.020 Wow.

00:45:31.780 This was a newly released report and it was collected in 2021, which we know that immigration

00:45:39.620 has only continued to skyrocket since that time.

00:45:43.540 So this problem is likely exponentially worse than is contained in this report.

00:45:49.500 Immigrants occupied 310 housing units per 1,000 people, that's in 2021, compared to just 271

00:45:59.900 units for Canadian-born individuals.

00:46:02.900 On average, non-permanent residents occupy 41 owned units and 316 rental units per 1,000 people

00:46:18.180 for a total of 357 housing units.

00:46:21.000 These are astronomical numbers.

00:46:25.960 And again, these are not an accurate reflection of what it is currently.

00:46:30.420 This was based on 2021.

00:46:32.220 And we've gone up millions in new Canadians since that time.

00:46:37.200 You'll own nothing and be happy.

00:46:38.540 I suspect it's worse out here, too, because for years we've had the issue with not even immigrants,

00:46:45.400 just people from China buying up our property out here and keeping the houses empty, which

00:46:50.400 caused a lot of issues with renting and things like that.

00:46:53.040 But now the trend is that the houses are not so much empty.

00:46:56.060 Instead, they're renting each room out to a whole bunch of people and the rooms are outrageous.

00:47:03.000 So I think that the stat's probably higher in at least the lower mainland.

00:47:09.780 Yeah, and the conversation's starting to happen about immigration, but I mean, it wasn't even

00:47:14.640 really a campaign issue during the latest SNAP election.

00:47:19.140 So how do we fix a problem if we can't even talk about it?

00:47:23.340 That's kind of where I'm at.

00:47:25.280 And we see here at the end of this article that asylum claims from people like international

00:47:29.460 students that come here, a situation that has been exploited by international students and the

00:47:37.540 lawyers and the advocates to get them here, they then claim asylum.

00:47:43.200 And those claims have surged with 20,245 claims being filed by students in 2024 alone.

00:47:51.240 Um, and from one college in particular, Conestoga, which I believe is in Ontario, um, had 720

00:47:59.560 refugee, uh, claims seeking refugee status.

00:48:04.120 So, I mean, this problem's not going anywhere.

00:48:06.380 It's only getting worse.

00:48:07.640 This data is going to take years to, to get in and compile.

00:48:11.420 That's what we have from 2021.

00:48:12.740 And I would say that it's exponentially worse than that.

00:48:16.460 Yeah.

00:48:18.300 Um, we do, what do we do?

00:48:19.760 We're, I mean, we're trying to be the messengers, but beyond that, like, what can you even do?

00:48:24.340 Yeah.

00:48:24.960 We have a super chat here from Elshara Silverheart.

00:48:30.640 Give $6.

00:48:31.740 Thank you very much.

00:48:32.600 Is it likely that the House of Commons will vote to reject the throne speech?

00:48:36.700 So we talked about this yesterday on the live stream.

00:48:38.760 It was passed.

00:48:40.280 They voted.

00:48:41.540 Who's they?

00:48:42.200 We don't know because it wasn't a recorded vote, but it was voted to be adopted.

00:48:47.880 Um, so yeah, the throne speech is adopted and, um, Carney thinks that this gives him a strong

00:48:56.960 mandate, that he has a strong mandate from Canadians as a minority government.

00:49:00.220 And so I just, I just don't think any of them want an election again.

00:49:06.440 I mean, I, I, it's kind of a double-edged sword for Canadians.

00:49:10.860 We do, but we don't because it costs millions of dollars.

00:49:13.200 And then we have no government again and whether we're the whole, it's a political dumpster

00:49:17.660 fire here in Canada.

00:49:18.760 I'm just going to keep saying that because it's true, but yeah, they did, they did not

00:49:25.100 reject the throne speech despite all the parties saying that they were going to, but they also

00:49:29.440 opted not to have a recorded vote.

00:49:31.160 So we don't know who voted which way, but we know that it went through.

00:49:35.100 So I, I suspect and speculate pure speculation that when the house returns September 20th,

00:49:44.360 I think it is that there will be some, an election or something, something will happen,

00:49:50.060 um, that will topple this government because I don't think Carney has the support of the

00:49:56.960 liberals and he certainly don't, doesn't have a strong mandate from Canadians.

00:50:01.500 Well, we definitely dodged a bullet with the NDPs staying put.

00:50:05.560 I was thinking that they were going to cross over or that it was possible at least.

00:50:10.660 Yeah.

00:50:11.160 And the NDP is, doesn't even have party status anymore, but.

00:50:14.640 But they pulled their support and they said, well, we're, we're not going to back this

00:50:17.800 throne speech and how could we?

00:50:19.380 And Don Davies was, um, up in arms about it.

00:50:22.980 He's the new leader of the NDP.

00:50:25.020 Uh, but anyway, I'm, I want to spend the last five minutes on our daily dose of cringe, but

00:50:31.100 we didn't put one in here and I want to see if we can pull it up quickly.

00:50:37.140 Um, it, I saw it and I don't know if I can find it again.

00:50:42.840 It was the mayor of Toronto, Olivia Chow.

00:50:46.580 Once again, maybe we already did this on another live stream earlier this week, the daily dose

00:50:52.260 of cringe.

00:50:53.160 Yeah, it was on Wednesday that the, the police, the, is that what you're talking about?

00:50:58.300 Um, she's up on stage dancing around, I think with some sort of drag performer. 0.89

00:51:04.760 Um, okay.

00:51:05.900 I, cause it's pride month, pride season. 0.92

00:51:08.120 Uh, this isn't her first time.

00:51:12.760 This is, she, this is like a pattern for Olivia Chow.

00:51:15.620 She just loves it.

00:51:16.900 Um, we have one from last year, but there was one just last weekend where she was at

00:51:21.300 some event in Toronto, dressed all, you know, scantily clad and some sort of pride something

00:51:28.400 or other and shaking her booty around in the utmost professionalism that you would expect

00:51:35.540 from a big city mayor.

00:51:36.860 Yes, here it is.

00:51:38.220 Um, let's play this for our daily dose of cringe.

00:51:42.480 This is the mayor of Toronto, Olivia Chow.

00:51:53.180 Oh my gosh.

00:51:55.460 She's twerking. 0.85

00:51:57.180 Oh my gosh.

00:51:58.720 That was a twerk. 1.00

00:52:01.420 She just twerked.

00:52:03.040 She got real low. 0.99

00:52:04.420 What the heck? 0.98

00:52:05.700 She did get pretty low. 0.97

00:52:06.740 She was getting it really low there.

00:52:08.480 I'm giving that.

00:52:08.960 This woman practices. 0.94

00:52:10.020 Look at that.

00:52:10.740 Oh my gosh.

00:52:11.380 Olivia Chow is twerking. 1.00

00:52:13.200 That's the most dressed I've seen her in these times.

00:52:15.420 Usually, I mean, remember that time she went out, it must've been like a sort of a cabana

00:52:19.940 thing, maybe a Trinidadian festival.

00:52:22.620 And you could see, you could see it all.

00:52:25.300 So I'm happy that she's more covered in this one, but why, why is the mayor twerking?

00:52:32.180 Yeah.

00:52:32.860 I was, uh, what is it called?

00:52:34.880 Is it called?

00:52:35.180 I think it's called Carabana, um, where Olivia Chow. 0.94

00:52:39.180 Yeah.

00:52:39.320 And she was, oh my gosh. 0.98

00:52:40.960 Should we have a picture of that?

00:52:42.240 I feel like we need more cringing.

00:52:42.800 That was so embarrassing.

00:52:44.820 I almost forgot about that one.

00:52:46.980 Uh, let me see.

00:52:48.140 Oh, I just pulled it up.

00:52:49.220 Oh my gosh.

00:52:49.940 And you can see like, oh.

00:52:51.980 Like you should never see that area of a politician publicly.

00:52:56.500 Like you just shouldn't.

00:52:58.820 And I'm just looking at how old is Olivia Chow? 1.00

00:53:02.880 Cringe, cringe to the lot.

00:53:06.300 She is 68.

00:53:08.700 Oh.

00:53:09.540 You know what?

00:53:10.140 She got low. 1.00

00:53:11.180 I will give her that.

00:53:11.860 She got low. 1.00

00:53:12.400 She got low. 1.00

00:53:13.680 Look at this.

00:53:14.520 Oh my gosh.

00:53:16.160 Yes.

00:53:16.860 So that's her last year, I believe.

00:53:20.340 Yeah.

00:53:20.700 Carabana.

00:53:21.300 Oh, we have a video.

00:53:22.580 Oh my gosh.

00:53:23.000 We have to play this video.

00:53:23.840 Who's zooming in?

00:53:25.020 Are we zooming in?

00:53:26.520 Did we just zoom in?

00:53:28.200 Look at that.

00:53:29.360 No, we need to play this video.

00:53:30.620 It's even better.

00:53:32.700 It's even.

00:53:33.980 She's wearing purple, a purple feathers costume in full Carabana mode.

00:53:39.040 Look at this.

00:53:39.820 Oh my gosh.

00:53:41.580 What happened to no appropriation?

00:53:44.400 Oh, right?

00:53:45.960 Look at her just stomping around. 1.00

00:53:49.300 Can we zoom in on this one too?

00:53:52.940 Where'd she go?

00:53:53.840 Oh, man.

00:53:57.020 We need to go back to the beginning and zoom in.

00:53:59.620 Oh, there she is.

00:54:00.480 Look at that.

00:54:00.700 Look at that little chicken. 0.96

00:54:04.500 Were you going to say chicken cutlets?

00:54:06.660 Because that's what I was thinking.

00:54:08.000 Oh, no.

00:54:09.240 Oh, no.

00:54:10.300 We're going too far.

00:54:11.460 Where's David?

00:54:12.160 Daily Dose of Cringe.

00:54:13.280 I feel like we just went in David territory with that one.

00:54:15.560 Daily Dose of Cringe.

00:54:17.300 Okay, wait.

00:54:18.400 Because we're hitting a hat trick with our Daily Dose of Cringe here,

00:54:23.480 you have to also look at this video of Olivia Chow on stage with another drag queen.

00:54:30.220 You're welcome.

00:54:30.720 Hide your virgin eyes. 0.87

00:54:40.560 Oh, my gosh.

00:54:43.440 Look at those arms.

00:54:59.920 It reminds me of the T-Rex arms.

00:55:02.040 They're just like flapping along.

00:55:03.780 On Wednesday, we talked about how the York Regional Police, instead of with all the crime

00:55:09.020 in the area, were also doing their own drag events, too.

00:55:12.600 It's like, oh, my gosh.

00:55:14.820 Yeah, I'm just trying to find Toronto's crime stats, actually, because crime is like way up

00:55:20.140 in the city.

00:55:20.780 Well, she's twerking. 1.00

00:55:22.040 I think that needs to be headlines.

00:55:23.760 We need to do an article with a headline about her twerking. 1.00

00:55:27.240 Yeah.

00:55:27.540 Toronto mayor twerks while crime rates flourish in the area.

00:55:33.280 I'm here for it.

00:55:34.180 I'm here for it.

00:55:34.780 Oh, my gosh.

00:55:36.080 Yeah.

00:55:36.740 But I mean, hey, Toronto, you voted for it.

00:55:41.640 It always comes down to us.

00:55:44.000 Yeah.

00:55:44.480 There you go.

00:55:45.560 All right.

00:55:45.960 That's our Daily Dose of Cringe.

00:55:47.140 I think we hit all of the headliners and then some, we have all the super chats and rumble

00:55:54.660 rants in, I hope.

00:55:55.880 Maybe there will be more after that Daily Dose of Cringe.

00:55:58.760 Sorry, we should have maybe gave everyone, we should have maybe given a warning that we

00:56:03.500 were about to feature half-naked Olivia Chow parading on the streets of Toronto, but you

00:56:08.540 never really know what you're going to get with your Daily Dose of Cringe here on Rebel

00:56:12.420 Roundup.

00:56:13.740 All right.

00:56:14.220 I think we have everything in there.

00:56:17.340 Perfect.

00:56:18.060 Well, thanks so much, Drea, for joining us.

00:56:20.300 Thanks, everybody, for coming and supporting our live stream, supporting our work on this

00:56:26.040 Friday afternoon.

00:56:27.380 We will be back, regular schedule, on Monday from 1 to 2 p.m. Eastern, same place, different

00:56:34.100 hosts.

00:56:34.640 I'm not sure who will be Monday.

00:56:35.860 I think probably Sheila and David.

00:56:37.700 Sheila has just been a mad woman traveling all around doing the reporting. 1.00

00:56:41.680 And so she will be back on Monday and ready to host.

00:56:48.600 Thanks to everybody who made sure all the links were available, all the words were there

00:56:53.660 for everyone to find.

00:56:55.000 This live stream isn't possible with a whole team of others behind us.

00:56:58.720 So thanks to them for getting this out to the public.

00:57:02.120 And there you have it.

00:57:04.120 I'm still kind of like I'm lost for words after watching a hat trick of cringy videos.

00:57:11.340 You did it to us, Tamera.

00:57:12.860 It was my idea.

00:57:14.680 I was like, wait, we don't have any cringe.

00:57:16.220 What did I see lately that was cringy?

00:57:18.200 And there you have it.

00:57:20.340 Maybe I shouldn't be in charge of the Daily Dose of Cringe.

00:57:24.700 Sorry, everybody.

00:57:26.160 Yeah.

00:57:26.640 Thank you.
