Rebel News Podcast - SHEILA GUNN REID ｜ A war is underway in Israel, yet Canadians can't get access to news on social media

00:00:00.000 More news than ever, and yet, if you're a Canadian, you see less of it than ever before.

00:00:05.240 Who's to blame? As always, it's Justin Trudeau. I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Gunn Show.

00:00:10.900 If you used to flip open your Facebook feed or your Instagram feed to find out what was going on

00:00:35.400 in the world, and you're Canadian, well, that has been an absolute dead zone for news because 0.99

00:00:41.160 Meta, the parent company of both Facebook and Instagram, have turned off sharing of Canadian news

00:00:48.540 because Justin Trudeau tried to shake down those companies to force them to subsidize the failing

00:00:56.200 mainstream media news business here in Canada, and Google is about to do the same. So your Google

00:01:03.860 news tab where you might have some carefully collated news based on your previous Google

00:01:12.220 searches and all the other things that big tech eavesdrops on you about all day long, well,

00:01:18.540 you may not have access to that anymore because Google is now saying, we are not going to abide

00:01:25.780 by Justin Trudeau's shake down. Google has even said that if the shake down law, that's Bill C-11,

00:01:33.080 is altered. They're not going to change course because they can't risk doing business in Justin

00:01:41.380 Trudeau's Canada. Hmm. Bizarre. Although they are sort of getting the same treatment that the oil

00:01:49.940 companies have gotten for the better part of a decade out of Justin Trudeau. Anyway, to break this

00:01:56.780 all down for us is my friend Chris Sims from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. She doesn't like

00:02:02.440 taxes. She doesn't like government control. And she's a former journalist. So she's got a very

00:02:07.580 unique and valuable perspective on Justin Trudeau's attempts to control the internet and what that means

00:02:13.940 for Canadians in a time of war and crisis and when essential access to vital information is more

00:02:24.240 important than ever before. Take a listen. Joining me now is my friend and good friend of Rebel News,

00:02:36.880 Chris Sims of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. Chris, I wanted to have you on because access to

00:02:42.500 news for Canadians is of the utmost importance right now. Things are popping off all over the world.

00:02:49.220 Two nuclear superpowers are engaged in scuffles and wars if you consider, you know, Hamas just a proxy 0.93

00:02:57.060 of Iran. Canadians need to know what's going on in the world. And yet, thanks to Trudeau's meddling in

00:03:03.620 the news industry, his attempts to save it and modernize it, Canadians have less access than ever.

00:03:11.820 They do. And I think everyone needs a smile right now. So let's think about former U.S.

00:03:16.640 President Ronald Reagan when he said, no scarier words than when the government shows up and says,

00:03:21.660 I'm from the government and I'm here to help. Well, Prime Minister Trudeau has really got to stop

00:03:28.260 helping when it comes to media and news and access to information. As you point out,

00:03:36.140 things are a little tense right now and people always need news and especially right now.

00:03:44.180 So what's critically important for viewers to understand now is that it feels like it was a

00:03:50.300 million years ago, but last week, I think it was Thursday or Friday morning, it was announced that

00:03:56.340 Google said, you know what? You know how you can't see news on Facebook anymore? Well, we're going to do

00:04:02.740 that too. Google. So imagine, folks, if you're in Canada, not being able to Google any news.

00:04:11.720 It's not being able to go to the Google News tab and see links like it. It's kind of hard to believe

00:04:19.120 that we're at this point in Western democracy, part of the G7, all that jazz. But apparently,

00:04:26.020 they're just going to follow through on this. And to be clear, this all started when Prime Minister

00:04:32.620 Justin Trudeau's government invented C-18. And they figured that this would be a great way for them 0.97

00:04:39.820 to shake down what people often refer to as the tech bros or big tech. So Facebook, Google,

00:04:47.620 whatever. Like, they're obviously a trillion times bigger than me. That's not what I care about.

00:04:52.760 What I care about is the fact that government screws up most things. This government is particularly

00:04:57.940 excellent at screwing up pretty much everything that it can possibly see. And this is now having a

00:05:06.460 detrimental effect on Canadians' ability to get news and information. And therefore,

00:05:12.700 they won't be able to hold their government to account. Which is why the Taxpayers Federation is

00:05:18.400 like waving the red flag on this. Because one of our key mandates is accountable government.

00:05:23.940 And if we aren't allowed to know what's going on, how on earth are we able to hold our elected

00:05:30.760 representatives accountable? You know, I heard Derek Fildebrandt from the Western Standard explain it

00:05:37.160 beautifully. Because for the person who isn't really in news, it's hard. The government makes

00:05:44.360 these things purposefully convoluted. But what they are doing with C-18 is telling these Facebook

00:05:51.580 meta social media platforms that you have to pay the creator of the news for the privilege of

00:05:59.380 delivering it to the people. In the olden times, for people who remember what a newspaper was,

00:06:06.020 this is like making the paper boy pay the newspaper company for the privilege of delivering the news

00:06:13.920 to the people for free. Facebook, Meta, Google, they provide a service to the news companies that in

00:06:23.260 the before times they might pay for. But now because they are able to gather the data,

00:06:28.480 the people are the currency and all of this. So they get to know everything that you like so that

00:06:34.020 now they can sell your information to advertisers. It was a system that worked fine. But now Justin

00:06:41.360 Trudeau is trying to shake down these social media companies, because news media is dying,

00:06:48.120 I think largely because people don't really trust it anymore, the more it becomes contaminated by the

00:06:53.020 government. Yep. And I think Canadians don't have an appetite to give any more taxpayer dollars to

00:06:59.400 the media. So no, Justin Trudeau had to do something. And it was, as you describe it, a

00:07:04.600 shakedown of the paper boy. Yes, exactly. That is an excellent way to describe it. And to your point,

00:07:13.020 no, people don't trust mainstream legacy. I am so tired of trying to come up with a way that we would

00:07:19.800 describe what the old news stations used to be. I call it Trudeau colonized. Sure. And what we have

00:07:26.380 right now. Okay. And this just floored me. A big majority, more than 60% of Canadians now believe

00:07:40.300 that journalists are actively trying to mislead them with statements they know to be false.

00:07:48.380 Like, that is the worst level of trust in journalism and media that's been recorded. And this is a long

00:07:56.680 time study that's done on trust. I think it's been around for 25 years. They ask people, you know,

00:08:02.800 what sectors you trust most, what, you know, politicians versus lawyers versus doctors, that stuff.

00:08:08.320 And they did a big, deep dive on journalism and media this time. And I think it's 67%,

00:08:14.760 which is a startling amount of people. But to your point, if you have journalists being paid by the

00:08:22.980 government, and if you have journalists, in many cases, refusing to cover certain topics,

00:08:30.980 refusing to talk to people, including those who might be just outside their front door,

00:08:35.000 who are upset about something, you're going to lose trust. And I speak as a journalist that way.

00:08:42.660 I worked in the industry for 20 years. If that's your MO, if you're getting paid by the same person

00:08:49.140 you're supposed to be holding to account, the government, and you are purposefully not listening

00:08:54.500 to and not paying attention to a big segment of your own population and viewership, you're going to

00:09:01.760 lose trust quickly. So if you combine this lack of trust with government funding the media,

00:09:07.820 with C-18, okay, and now Google saying as a result, hey, you know what, we're not paying this link tax

00:09:14.360 either. See you later. Bye-bye. With C-11, which now we're seeing these two rulings come from the CRTC,

00:09:23.500 saying, you know what, that whole thing about podcasts, yeah, we're going to get the folks who

00:09:29.260 host podcasts to register with the government. Things have been happening so fast and there's

00:09:34.760 been so much big news, Sheila, that this was gigantic news early last week. But now, of course,

00:09:40.760 because so much has been going on, it's been falling off the table, but people need to pay

00:09:44.680 attention to this too. C-11 is now in play. You know, let's talk about C-11 because they dropped

00:09:51.340 what they call it, the regulatory plan to modernize Canada's broadcasting system.

00:09:57.120 That's a nice way of putting it. It's a nice way of saying, modernizing, we're going back to 1960s

00:10:03.420 East Germany. Because in 1960s East Germany, you used to have to register your typewriter with the

00:10:09.220 STASI in case something offensive to the government rolled off the keys. Now, the government is saying,

00:10:17.560 or CRTC, the broadcast regulator here in Canada, which used to only be regulated to old terrestrial

00:10:25.620 TV and radio and not the internet, not streaming services. People moved to the internet. I know

00:10:33.180 that's what my boss did. He moved to the internet to get away from the CRTC.

00:10:37.540 Yeah, because of what happened with Sun News Network.

00:10:40.180 You know, and that's why I want to talk to you about this.

00:10:41.920 So Rebel News, we're not on regular TV for a reason, to escape the control of the government.

00:10:50.140 But the government recognizes that people are having a little bit too much to think on the

00:10:55.960 internet. And so they have to expand the mandate of the CRTC to encompass the internet. And on that,

00:11:03.540 two Fridays ago, I guess it was, late Friday before a long weekend, government holiday, they said,

00:11:09.080 oh, by the way, all these streaming services, you have to register with the government. Why? Because

00:11:15.680 that's the first step in what the government plans to do. If you look at the ruling, they said that

00:11:22.900 this is the first little bit of information we want from you. So first of all, we need to identify you,

00:11:28.860 and then we're going to come back to you and ask you for more information, which may include

00:11:33.600 people who are using that platform to stream ideas that may be

00:11:38.660 uncomfortable for the government. But you were a journalist at Sun News, and Sun News

00:11:44.480 was euthanized by the CRTC.

00:11:48.200 Yeah, they were. And I'm sure lots of your viewers know the story.

00:11:53.240 But yeah, there were some other elements, to be fair, that were making things kind of creaky around

00:11:58.520 the edges. We were trying to, this is before, we were born just a little too early. This is before

00:12:04.200 people were able to really be able to just broadcast themselves so quickly, and in such

00:12:09.580 good high def and all that jazz. This is just, just before that happened. And so we were kind of tied

00:12:15.400 to the old world of broadcasting. And so we had to play nice and try to get mandatory carriage through

00:12:22.520 the CRTC. And of course, this is the catch. The CRTC will say things like, oh, well, this is all

00:12:30.280 about Canadian culture, or this is all just about Canadian programming. I took those calls, I made

00:12:36.940 those calls to our viewers at Sun News Network. Our desks were made in Calgary, for goodness sake.

00:12:43.020 Like, we were super duper Canadian. It doesn't matter. This is the key. And I would say the same thing 0.86

00:12:48.740 if this were a conservative-leaning ideological government, and I happen to have been working

00:12:54.300 at a left-leaning news station. The government shouldn't control the news media. It should not. 0.93

00:13:01.520 It should be a free press, meaning free from government. And yeah, we got shut down after

00:13:07.960 four years. And so our concern, including here at the CTF, because again, if you can't express

00:13:14.320 yourself freely, if we can't have conversations like this on the internet and online and however

00:13:19.240 people reach our show, you won't be able to be informed at your choice, and you won't be able

00:13:26.120 to hold your government to account, and you're going to get taken advantage of. You're going to get taxed

00:13:31.080 through the nose. You're going to get your property taken away in firearms, for example, and you're going

00:13:35.900 to have your money wasted, and you're not going to have your voice heard. And so this is where

00:13:40.680 we're saying, folks, we can't have this happen. And so I know there's a lot going on right now.

00:13:46.140 I would encourage everybody, though, to take a break from, you know, international news if they can.

00:13:52.280 Write a letter. Make a phone call to your member of parliament about things like C-11. Tell them to

00:13:58.580 scrap or repeal the elements of C-11. So repeal C-11 so that your podcast, your news shows,

00:14:05.660 all of the programming, keep in mind, Sheila, this could affect entertainment as well.

00:14:11.120 Sure.

00:14:11.560 Like, you know, we care about the news because that's where we work and live, and at the CTF,

00:14:16.780 that's what informs people and allows them to hold their government to account. But hey, folks,

00:14:21.340 this could easily affect your entertainment choices. If the Trudeau government figures that

00:14:26.680 your show on YouTube or Netflix or whatever, you know, fancy dancy Gen Z thing you're able to

00:14:32.540 make your computer do, isn't talking about moose meat and hockey enough, like, you might not be

00:14:38.740 able to find it or see it or it might be gone. And so tell your member of parliament that this is a

00:14:44.420 voting issue for you.

00:14:46.160 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I mean, it's so unfathomable that people would say, oh, what's the big deal?

00:14:57.200 What's the big deal with having Netflix, Disney Plus, Rumble, Twitter, having all these platforms

00:15:08.420 just register with the government? We already know they exist. Why can't they register with

00:15:13.280 the government? It's because of what follows downstream from that, because it's not just

00:15:18.940 about them. It's about identifying them because they are going to come back to the well and ask for

00:15:24.000 more information. And I frankly, I can't wait for the the battle between Elon Musk at Twitter or X or

00:15:32.400 whatever we're calling it now and the federal government. I think he's going to take a much

00:15:37.700 less passive aggressive approach than Google and Meta have been doing. I think he's ready to

00:15:43.740 fight with the Trudeau government before he starts turning over any sort of data or registering. And

00:15:49.300 honestly, that might be the thing that straightens everything out.

00:15:52.060 Keep in mind, this is yeah, to your point, like X folks, Twitter, Elon's platform. That's not just

00:15:59.740 tweets back and forth anymore. This is spaces. In some cases, these spaces are wide open forums. I

00:16:06.400 was listening to one that had like 250,000 people listening to it the other night, just listening in.

00:16:11.920 It was about a topic that I didn't even really care about much. I just find it fascinating that

00:16:15.440 people are able to gather so quickly. There's full video, like you said, there's audio. Is that

00:16:20.720 programming? Is that podcasting? Yeah, probably. And the issue here is that the government wants you

00:16:26.500 to register so they can regulate. Yeah. Okay. And this is key. You probably have to go. But Warren

00:16:33.220 Kinsella made a really good point. He's like, you know what? Why would these big tech companies,

00:16:40.000 most of them anyway, want to bother? Right. Like how big is their is their Canadian audience for

00:16:47.220 whatever podcast that may be vital to us? And again, it may not be politics for everybody. It could

00:16:52.220 be like your cake baking show or how to, you know, plant a garden in your backyard or whatever, whatever

00:16:57.980 you're into. If it's coming from the United States or somewhere outside of Canada or even in Canada, it's

00:17:03.120 now going to be regulated by the government. And so as Warren was pointing out, more or less, what's in it

00:17:10.060 for them to put up with this headache? Isn't it just a lot easier for them to say exactly like Google

00:17:16.240 and Facebook are saying about C-18 right now? You know what? No, thanks. We're good. We're going to

00:17:21.640 cancel all of this programming. We're not going to host it on our massive platforms anymore. Good luck.

00:17:28.360 Then what? Well, and there's plenty of precedent for that. For example, Rumble is not available in

00:17:34.320 France because the French government said you cannot broadcast anything from RT, anything from

00:17:40.820 the Russian state broadcaster. I understand why they might do that. But Rumble rejects control from

00:17:46.320 the government. It exists as a free speech platform specifically because they're anti-censorship. And

00:17:53.060 they just said, you know what, France, if you want to do that, if these are your rules, fine, you can keep

00:17:58.080 them. We just won't be in that market. And so now French citizens don't have access to an 0.60

00:18:03.760 uncensored platform because of government meddling. And why wouldn't they do that to Canada? Why

00:18:10.320 wouldn't they withdraw from Canada? I don't think we're all that important to Elon Musk, although he

00:18:16.080 is a free speech absolutist, I think, frankly. I mean, he bought a failing platform just so people could

00:18:24.460 speak freely. I would prefer if he fought with the government instead of just pulling out of Canada

00:18:29.760 altogether. But I mean, why waste money on us? Well, hopefully he might because he does have some

00:18:34.960 Canadian element. Maybe there's something sentimental in there that will make him hang

00:18:39.500 in. But I also just just to cover our bases, just in case there's anybody watching, you know,

00:18:45.260 you're sharing with your friend, which I recommend you do. Give this to your auntie who may not watch

00:18:49.900 politics very much, please. We would love to go garage selling with her, by the way. Yes, we would.

00:18:54.240 Definitely. So show this to your auntie. I want to stress this is not about promoting heinous things

00:19:01.780 on the Internet. OK, like we're not. So the criminal code applies to what Sheila and I are saying right

00:19:08.900 now. If we suddenly started sharing horrendous things, OK, that are against the law, we could be

00:19:16.940 charged. OK, the criminal code applies to what is going on right now. OK, this is not what Sheila

00:19:24.220 or C-11 or C-18 or about. C-11 is not from the Ministry of Justice. It's from the Ministry of

00:19:32.140 Heritage. It is about regulation and control. OK, if folks were worried about promoting criminal acts

00:19:40.860 or something terrible on the Internet and they thought that the laws weren't strong enough, they

00:19:45.620 can totally take that up with the Justice Minister, the Attorney General. They can work up those laws like

00:19:51.100 we wouldn't even really glance at it. This is about content and it's about control. OK, of what we're

00:19:58.700 talking about right now. OK, or what you get to see here and share online lawful, legal, normal

00:20:05.740 information. How much of that the government wants you to see? That is what is at play here. This has got

00:20:13.200 nothing to do with criminal behavior. You know, I'm a gun owner. I know that registration almost always

00:20:21.120 leads to confiscation or at least very heavy control. And I see the exact same thing that has happened to

00:20:27.440 Canadian gun owners over and over and over again about to happen in the media. Chris, you guys are really

00:20:33.820 leading the charge on this issue, I think, outside of us here at Rebel News. You guys are doing a bit.

00:20:41.260 We're doing some stuff. We're doing some things here and there. But you have, I think you are uniquely

00:20:48.120 poised to sort of lead the charge on this because you not only are an advocate for smaller, more

00:20:53.720 accountable government, but also a former journalist who has fallen victim to government regulation,

00:21:00.100 euthanizing the business that you worked for. So how do people get involved? Because I think

00:21:05.060 because of those things I just described, people can really trust you on this issue. So how do people

00:21:09.940 get involved and support the work that you do at the CTF? Because like us, you'll never take a penny

00:21:15.080 from Justin Trudeau or any level of government. Because how could you hold them to account if you did?

00:21:20.460 No, and we never have. We don't even, by the way, we're not even a charity because we refuse to give out

00:21:25.480 tax receipts. Like that's, I love the CTF so much, but that's how hardcore they are. So yeah, we don't

00:21:31.520 even do that. Thank you for this, Sheila, and for covering this. Folks go to taxpayer.com. I would

00:21:37.480 please ask them to do two things. One, please sign the petitions that matter to you. And before you say

00:21:44.120 Justin Trudeau won't listen to them, well, hopefully he might. I'm an eternal optimist. I always hope for a

00:21:49.600 change of heart or a change of mind with someone. So please do it. But the other reason we want you to

00:21:54.580 sign the petition is that now you're part of the standing army on that topic. So the next time something

00:22:00.000 like C-11 or C-18 or confiscation of your lawfully owned firearm, something like that crops up, we can

00:22:06.820 update you on it. We can say, hey, this is happening right now. This is moving through the house. Everybody

00:22:12.060 email your MP at once. Do a bank of phone calls. Do door knocking. Something, okay? So sign the petitions

00:22:18.920 that matter to you. And this one's in particular. My email's right there under the contacts on

00:22:24.440 taxpayer.com. Send me an email. Tell me what podcasts you listen to. By choice. I'm not demanding that you

00:22:32.080 do it. If you could please share that with me willingly. I want to know because that helps me

00:22:38.980 color and explain this to lawmakers and media types of why something like C-11 matters to everyday

00:22:47.940 Canadians like you. They will take my cryptid podcasts from my cold dead hands.

00:22:54.380 But this is it. I listen to all sorts of fun stuff and it's like, I don't want the CRTC and those folks

00:23:02.520 over in Gatineau deciding that I'm not allowed to. Like, I can't believe I'm saying this out loud.

00:23:08.180 Yeah. I don't want Justin Trudeau to know that I listen to things involving bat squash hunters. 0.53

00:23:13.920 I just don't. You don't. You don't. I'll put it this way. Canadians don't need 1.00

00:23:19.560 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government deciding what they can watch and listen to.

00:23:24.440 Exactly. But, you know, you listed the two things that your petitions do, but they also do a third

00:23:29.160 thing that I love that petitions do. And that is tell the good guys that there are all of these

00:23:34.500 people cheering for them to carry on and fight back. So, you know, like when you can show a

00:23:40.660 conservative politician who's getting shaky because he's in the vortex of social media anger

00:23:46.740 being directed at him, you can say, look, you know what? Actually, here are 40,000 Canadians saying

00:23:51.340 ignore that baloney and keep fighting. It's a real moral support for the good guys to continue to do the

00:23:57.860 right thing. Exactly. Chris, thanks so much for coming on the show. I'm sad that garage sale season

00:24:04.600 is wrapping up, but thrift store season is just getting into the full swing of things.

00:24:09.700 We'll have you back on again very, very soon. Thanks, Sheila. Thanks.

00:24:21.100 Well, friends, we've come to the portion of the show where we invite your viewer feedback. I know I

00:24:25.460 say this every week, so it might be redundant to regular viewers of the show, but I actually do

00:24:30.560 care about what you think about the work that we do here at Rebel News. It's why we don't close the

00:24:34.200 comment section on any of the platforms where you might find us. And it's also why I give out my email

00:24:39.400 address right now. It's Sheila at rebelnews.com. If you have a question, query, comment, story idea,

00:24:45.280 feedback about the show today, put gun show letters, two N's, G-U-N-N, show letters in the subject line

00:24:52.060 so I know what you're emailing me about because sometimes I don't, as you imagine, I get some

00:24:59.420 crazy emails and dozens, if not sometimes, depending on how wild I've been on the internet

00:25:05.600 that day. Sometimes it's hundreds of emails I get in a day. So gun show letters in the subject line

00:25:11.880 make it really easy for me to find. However, don't hesitate to leave a comment wherever you might

00:25:19.300 find us. For example, if you're watching the free version of the show on Rumble or YouTube,

00:25:24.340 let me thank you for sitting through the ads. Leave a comment there because sometimes I go

00:25:29.240 looking over there through the madness of the comment section on some of those platforms

00:25:37.320 to find some very intelligent comments or even sometimes some hate mail. Stick around because

00:25:42.740 sometimes I do read hate mail. Not today though. These are good. So the feedback this week is on

00:25:49.060 last week's show that I filmed with my colleague from Ottawa, Robert Krejcik. He has been covering

00:25:57.460 the Tamara Leach trial. For those of you who don't know who Tamara Leach is, and I don't know how you

00:26:02.720 possibly couldn't, she was the leader of the Freedom Convoy who spent nearly 50 days in jail for her role

00:26:11.200 in organizing that peaceful anti-mandate demonstration slash traffic snarl in the nation's capital late

00:26:20.920 January, early February 2022 until such time as the simpleton leader of Canada, Justin Trudeau,

00:26:30.720 invoked a never before used counterterrorism law called the Emergencies Act to arrest the leadership

00:26:37.140 and seize their assets and seize their assets and sever bank accounts from people who had done nothing

00:26:44.440 wrong except support the anti-mandate demonstration, treating them as though they were some sort of

00:26:51.760 terrorist financier. So Robert's been in the courtroom doing the very draining mentally work of covering

00:27:01.080 the minutiae of the trial. And so I had him on the show last week and we talked about what's going on,

00:27:08.380 but we also talked about some of the other things going on in Ottawa, like the counter demonstrators

00:27:14.520 to the parents' rights protest, the one million march for children. Anyway, let's go to the comment

00:27:22.240 section on YouTube this week. So Terry Ferguson, 1459, writes, there was also violence perpetrated by

00:27:32.240 some citizens in Ottawa. I always describe the Freedom Convoy as peaceful, but there was indeed

00:27:39.900 violence perpetrated against the convoy demonstrators, not only by the state, but also by the locals who

00:27:46.840 claim they were victimized by phantom horn honking or whatever. But Gary's right. They admitted to it.

00:27:53.720 I remember a woman on the stand under oath during the inquiry into the Emergencies Act that was

00:27:59.100 Zexy Lee, Ottawa local, busybody, far left activist. And I think she also works for the federal government

00:28:08.700 when you know it. Anyway, she did admit to doing some, I think, criminally mischievous things

00:28:15.640 to the Freedom Convoy. And she was never charged with anything. She did more violence than Tamara 0.62

00:28:23.080 Leach ever did. Anyway, Terry's right. Let's go on. She stated they were frustrated. So they were

00:28:29.000 throwing eggs at the truckers and said, what else could we do? I don't know. Not throw things.

00:28:36.700 Child. Anyway, let's go on. Tamara and Chris on trial, as well as the whole convoy,

00:28:42.200 no violence committed, peaceful protest, yet there are still people admitting to violence

00:28:47.860 and they walk away. This is one strange effing country. Yeah, it sure is, isn't it? Great point

00:28:55.120 though, Terry. Let's keep going. Liberty in peril 520 writes, we'll never forget that event. It reawakened

00:29:05.680 my otherwise fated and abandoned patriotism. I will forever be grateful to those drivers,

00:29:12.020 all of them. Yes, I know that even for Tamara Leach herself, she said the Freedom Convoy turned

00:29:20.220 her from a Western separatist to a federalist who thinks that there is far more which unites us

00:29:27.640 than divides us, despite what Justin Trudeau would say about her and her fellow Canadians in the

00:29:34.320 mainstream media. And let's read one more. Darcy McKinnon 6225 writes, there is no second

00:29:44.140 generation of these lunatics. Great quote. I don't think the lunatics realize it yet. I think they do. 0.93

00:29:50.500 I think they do. That's why they've all flooded into the education system so that they can talk to

00:29:56.360 your kids about their weird things they do on the weekend. Anyway, that's the show for today, guys.

00:30:03.580 Thank you so much for tuning in. I'll see everybody back here in the same time, in the same place next

00:30:08.500 week. And as always, don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think.

00:30:13.120 I'll see everybody back here in the same time.
