The BC Conservatives just held their first annual general meeting post their very near election win.
00:01:15.940
I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed and you're watching The Gunn Show.
00:01:36.140
You know, there are exciting things happening in British Columbia if you are a conservative,
00:01:40.340
and I think a lot of people might be. A lot of people are very sick of the tax and spend and tax
00:01:46.940
and spend and block resource projects. NDP government of David Eby, they want something new
00:01:54.760
and they are turning towards conservatism, smaller government, accountability, free speech,
00:02:02.200
pro-family, and pro-jobs. And with that comes the growth of the BC Conservative Party, a party that
00:02:11.360
really didn't exist in any sort of tangible form just two years ago. And yet, they've just held
00:02:19.760
a meeting of their members to vote on their policies, the official policy platform of the party
00:02:26.520
that they promise to advance if they ever become government. Now, Drea Humphrey, our BC Bureau chief,
00:02:35.360
was there for her first annual general meeting of any political party ever. She was there as a
00:02:42.660
journalist. So she was looking at this through very new eyes. What is the sense from the Conservative
00:02:50.340
Party members? Are they excited about where the party is growing? Are they looking to solidify those
00:02:56.660
pro-parent, pro-small government, pro-low tax policies? Or is it a party that is going to be
00:03:06.060
derailed by growing pains? Because boy, are they ever growing fast. So I thought I'd have Drea on the
00:03:12.820
show to talk about the BC AGM, what sort of policies were advanced, what does that mean for conservatives
00:03:19.240
in British Columbia and the other things that she's working on? Yes, she's here to talk about
00:03:25.400
the ostriches too. Take a listen. Joining me now is our BC Bureau chief, our friend, intrepid reporter
00:03:34.760
Drea Humphrey. And I wanted to have Drea on the show for a couple of different reasons. There are some
00:03:38.420
very interesting things happening in politics in British Columbia. They have a movement towards the
00:03:43.140
right, towards smaller government and personal and fiscal responsibility there. And it was also
00:03:49.200
Drea's first annual general meeting of a political party. And so I'm curious about what that
00:03:54.680
experience was like for her. And I want to talk about the issues that were brought forward at the
00:03:59.420
BC Conservatives' first AGM post very nearly forming government in British Columbia, which like even two
00:04:08.140
years ago would have been just a Sheila Gunn-Reed pipe dream. So Drea, thanks for coming on the show.
00:04:15.220
I want to ask you first, like what were you expecting? Did you have expectations? Because
00:04:19.320
you don't have any experience in this whatsoever. That's right. 2020 was when I became more political
00:04:25.480
for reasons I think most people know. And this was my first AGM. I tried to put my expectations aside
00:04:32.840
because I didn't really have any. I just went in there as a journalist and I spoke to many of the
00:04:38.780
members, I would say well over 100, to get their feedback. I asked everyone I could, had you been
00:04:44.500
to an AGM before? And if so, what did you think of this one? One thing that stood out to me going
00:04:50.640
into the AGM was in fact its location being in Nanaimo, which is an NDP stronghold. So it was kind
00:04:57.300
of like, I wonder why it's here. But other than that, it was just nice to be the eyes and ears for
00:05:03.560
people while I was there. Yeah, you know, it is on the surface, I think it's strange that it is
00:05:10.280
in Nanaimo. But at the same time, on the island, the BC conservatives have really made some inroads
00:05:16.540
over the past little bit. Like we know the interior of BC is very Albertan in its voting habits,
00:05:21.960
both federally and provincially. But the island, it's a weird mix of people. There are some
00:05:29.360
conservatives there. But there are a lot of people who don't maybe know that they've quite been left
00:05:35.040
behind by the left yet. These are the, you know, the conventional hippies of yore. They're skeptics
00:05:41.760
of big pharma. They don't like being told how to live their lives. They want to be left alone by the
00:05:47.820
government. And during COVID, the left, the NDP and the Greens, they were really in lockstep with big
00:05:55.760
pharma and government overreach. And so those people, those are baby conservatives, they just
00:06:00.240
need to be spoken to the right way. Absolutely. There's also a sector of the left that has come
00:06:06.180
over, you know, calling themselves refugees, because they know what a woman is. And they used to stand for
00:06:12.660
women's rights. And they don't like what's happening in that area, too. So you're right, there's definitely
00:06:17.340
some room to grow in that area. And boy, did it grow. That also stood out to me. There was about
00:06:23.280
approximately 800 members in attendance, and I'm told 600 delegates voted around that number there.
00:06:30.040
So that is a huge difference from the previous AGM for the Conservative Party, which I'm told from
00:06:36.180
everybody who I spoke to in attendance was around 150, 150 people. So massive growth there, lots of energy.
00:06:44.820
And I don't think it's been a dull moment at all in BC politics for a couple of years now, ever since
00:06:51.380
the Conservative Party, which was once totally underestimated, was going on their rise, it
00:06:57.200
continues to be sort of a spicy thing. And so there was some spicy moments during the AGM as well that
00:07:03.660
I could talk about here, but also I talk about in my recap video, which is coming up.
00:07:09.520
And I think it's important to note that the BC Conservatives AGM, it's happening where it did
00:07:16.540
happen like within days of the BC budget being announced. And I think that's really important
00:07:22.740
because they passed a resolution that says that the government, if the BC Conservatives formed
00:07:31.480
government, that they would return to a balanced budget situation as soon as possible, which is
00:07:38.500
definitely not what the BC NDP think. They are just tax and spend and tax and spend, just taxing you
00:07:44.900
more, but also using that as an excuse to spend more. So that is a cultural sea change in BC, I think.
00:07:53.420
And how convenient they get to use the tariffs as an excuse for our record-breaking 10.6 deficit,
00:08:03.600
Okay, so you just mentioned some of the spicy issues. So tell me some of the spicy, if you want to talk about
00:08:12.660
issues, debates, policy proposals, tell me about some of those. Because I'm fresh out of the Alberta one
00:08:18.600
just a few short months ago, and it was really around those things that are deep in the culture war. We know
00:08:25.380
what Conservatives think about financial stuff, but do they stand for the appropriate definition of what a
00:08:32.480
woman is? Will they defend women in sports, kids at school from cultural indoctrination?
00:08:39.920
That was, and in Alberta, it's always Alberta, firearms rights was a big thing too, which
00:08:44.360
differentiates us from the people on the left. Do we care about free speech and freedom of the press?
00:08:50.960
Tell me about the BC Conservatives, because as you said, for a lot of people, this is the first time
00:08:57.040
they're getting to know what a BC Conservative is. Yeah, well, absolutely. Like I said, there was
00:09:01.680
around 800 people, and I don't want to be like the legacy media, which only talked about dissent,
00:09:06.740
because that certainly wasn't the case. The vast majority of people I spoke to were in fact happy
00:09:11.660
with the AGM, happy with the way the party's going, and excited to see where the future was going.
00:09:18.300
As far as the dissenters go, I think overall, they maybe labeled themselves the grassroots,
00:09:23.160
although you could hear it on both sides. One of the concerns was just, you know, the fact that
00:09:28.400
almost last minute, it went from a two-day AGM to a one-day AGM. People felt like, hey, we booked
00:09:34.820
our stuff, what's going on in here, and how are we going to, you know, talk about all the issues at
00:09:39.720
hand, the policy changes, the recommendations to change, amend the Constitution. That was another
00:09:45.820
big concern, was people felt like those proposed amendments to the Constitution, that they didn't even
00:09:51.860
have enough time to go over and understand them. So there was complaints about that. There were
00:09:57.460
people who were claiming that their riding associations had not been supported, or in some
00:10:03.100
ways, they felt almost had been blocked, where they say that they didn't get any delegates in their
00:10:07.380
riding, and they weren't quite sure why that happened. And so, you know, they started coming up with
00:10:13.980
their own reasons as to why that happens. Now, I will tell you, I am investigating a lot of these
00:10:18.520
claims, and we'll have a follow-up report in addition to the report that's coming out with
00:10:23.200
my recap. One thing I notice is that on all sides, there is this, it seems like a mutual respect for
00:10:31.100
John Rustad, whether or not they feel like the board needed to change, or in particular, some did not
00:10:37.760
like how John Rustad put forth a slate that he wanted to be voted for the board, for example. And by the
00:10:44.940
way, that's exactly what happened. Everyone that he wanted is who got voted. Some thought that was
00:10:49.500
unfair. But even the ones who were disgruntled at large, they seemed to really like John Rustad as a
00:10:55.780
leader. And I got to see a little bit of perhaps why that is in action at the AGM. For example,
00:11:02.620
the people who wanted to be aboard, they had prepared two to three-minute speeches and were supposed to go
00:11:08.560
ahead. But perhaps because it all got condensed last minute into that one day, they were told,
00:11:13.380
no, you're not going to do your speeches. And then they were told, okay, you can do your speeches in
00:11:17.340
the other room and we'll announce so that people could leave the main room and go listen. And they
00:11:21.620
did announce that. But I don't think a lot of people wanted to leave the main room. It was a
00:11:26.160
little weird. And so I'm told that they went to John and said, we're not happy about this. And he
00:11:31.940
intervened. He's not able to manage everything that's going on in AGM, but he did step in and say,
00:11:37.340
no, get them on the stage. So that was something I heard people were really happy that he listened to
00:11:42.460
them. And then everybody got to hear them put their speech forward. Another thing is there was
00:11:47.860
concerns, again, like I said, about the amount of time, how soon they want to do these amendments to
00:11:53.920
the constitution. And one of them was the omnibus that would say that the board that does get in
00:12:00.300
is sitting for a four-year term. So some people had issues with that. And John Rustad took the stage
00:12:06.640
and said, you know what, I've heard enough of you guys. Like, we can't be doing this every year.
00:12:10.700
We certainly won't be able to do that, but I've heard you. We're going to change that to two years
00:12:15.260
instead of four. And then there was lots of claps about that. And then that passed. So it did seem
00:12:21.200
to, you know, people are trying to manage things and run things. And it did seem like when it came
00:12:27.140
to Mr. Rustad himself, he was listening to the people and making some changes. So that was really
00:12:32.320
interesting to see as well. As far as some of, you know, my personal favorites, considering what I cover,
00:12:39.160
we did see former Chilliwack school trustee Heather Moss, who is now an MLA for Chilliwack
00:12:45.800
North, put forth, let's get rid of Soji completely from schools to solidify where they stand. And so,
00:12:53.540
of course, that passed with flying colors out there. So when you ask about, are they going to stand
00:12:58.720
for parental rights, it looks like they're still continuing on that path. The question about
00:13:04.660
males and women's sports, we know that that party put forth a bill already proposing for safety and
00:13:11.640
fairness and women's sports. And it got shut down even before, you know, the first, is it reading or
00:13:17.160
what have you by the NDP. But to put it in perspective about where they're going, they actually
00:13:22.420
had a safe and same sex space advocate, Amy Hamm, do a speech. And that was a great speech,
00:13:30.340
a speech that, you know, talked about the horrible things that have been happening to British Columbia.
00:13:37.240
I've covered all of the ones that she mentioned. Just one example is the little, I think she was
00:13:43.300
eight-year-old, and there was a man with a wig and a face mask who started peeping under the stalls in
00:13:49.280
Nanaimo, in that very city where the AGM was, and looking under the stalls. And of course, when mom goes to
00:13:55.060
complain, she's told, no, it's his right to, or her, probably, her right to be there. And if you don't
00:14:00.940
stop, you know, making a scene, we're going to call the cops. So that was one of the examples. So
00:14:04.500
Amy Hamm went through these horrific scenarios and tied them into British Columbia. And at the end of
00:14:10.980
that, she actually called out the CBC reporter in the room and, you know, said shame on the CBC for
00:14:18.460
their coverage. And so that received a standing ovation. So I think that puts into perspective where the
00:14:24.340
party stands on that issue as well. Well, and I think any party that is growing as fast as the BC
00:14:31.240
conservatives have, I mean, really two years ago, they didn't really exist in any sort of respectable
00:14:36.140
form. And somehow they very nearly formed government. And we'll talk about the issues around that in a
00:14:43.200
second. They're going to experience growing pains. You've got a lot of new people into the party who,
00:14:49.680
this is their first time engaging in the political party process. They may be voters,
00:14:55.780
they may be, you know, activists in their community, but to actually get involved in the
00:15:00.220
machinery of politics. There's a lot of rules and stuff happening in the background that as somebody
00:15:06.680
on the outside looking and you had no idea, and I'm sure you experienced that firsthand, you're
00:15:10.280
probably like, God, there's a lot of, there's a lot of stuff going on here. Um, I, I, I should tell
00:15:17.420
you too, uh, Nanaimo is the place where I first met Ezra very long time ago, very, very long time
00:15:23.420
ago. Yeah, it is. Um, but good things come out of, come out of Nanaimo. Yeah. You know what? And we
00:15:29.200
were there protesting tyranny. It was a long story, but, um, one thing you will see at conservative
00:15:36.680
political meetings is dissent and debate because we allow those things. The things about the thing
00:15:42.360
about conservatives, it makes us hard to get marching in all, all in the same direction is
00:15:47.380
that we are individualists and free thinkers. We believe in free speech and the free and liberal
00:15:51.860
exchange of ideas on the left. They're just like, okay, this is what we're going to vote on. And
00:15:55.800
everybody checks yes. And then they go on. Exactly. So, uh, it's one of those things that makes for
00:16:01.340
a messy meeting, but, uh, makes for a rigorous debate. Now I wanted to ask you for an update
00:16:09.680
about what is going on with the problems surrounding one riding in British Columbia, um, that really
00:16:20.540
hung in the balance and, and made the NDP government. Oh my goodness. Never a dull day. Um, for those
00:16:29.440
of you who don't know, I have set up a special campaign. It's called bcelectionintegrity.com.
00:16:36.140
And I have covered this and I've had many exclusive interviews with the former candidate for the
00:16:42.880
Conservative Party for the Surrey Guilford riding. His name is Hanvir Randhawa. So he keeps us updated
00:16:49.500
very closely on that site, uh, bcelectionintegrity.com. But, uh, basically the Conservative Party of BC
00:16:57.780
says that they are aware of at least 46 voting irregularities in that riding. Now you have to
00:17:03.720
remember on the night of the election, Mr. Randhawa believed he won that by just over a hundred
00:17:09.440
votes. And then it was decided it's too close to the hundred marker. So we're going to do a judicial
00:17:14.560
count recount. And after that, it was determined that he lost to NDP Gary Bagg by 22 votes. And the
00:17:23.760
craziest part about all that is out of these alleged 46 voting irregularities, 21 come from a single
00:17:31.640
location. It's a care home, a residential care home that takes care of anything from elderly people to
00:17:38.580
people with mental health issues. And I'm still unclear about addictions. I've seen yes and no
00:17:43.360
online, so I'm not sure. But 21 votes came out of that by mail. And the other crazy layer of that
00:17:51.560
is that directly across the street, like literally across the street, is a school where these
00:17:57.740
individuals, many, if not all, um, I'm told are mobile, could have just crossed the street to vote
00:18:03.980
it. So they all voted by mail. Um, in Elections BC's own rules, you're not supposed to have, uh, you know,
00:18:10.260
that many mail ballots go to one residential location. So there's complexities there. Now, Mr.
00:18:16.820
Hanvey-Oran Hawa is a lawyer, and, um, he wants this taken seriously. So he did formal complaints
00:18:23.440
to the, the EBC, and he actually, um, applied for a petition for a judicial review, or he put that in.
00:18:31.020
So he wants the courts to look at this properly. But of course, he also wants, and should all the
00:18:35.780
citizens, the Elections BC to investigate what happened, because even some of their own workers
00:18:40.260
went to this home as well. So they're saying, hold on, uh, yeah, we're just going to let the courts
00:18:46.560
figure it out. So we're halting our investigation, which of course, handicaps Mr.
00:18:51.700
Ranhawa's case, because he needs to know what happened too. So that's the other layer there.
00:18:57.280
Now, the latest of this, and so I did snatch him aside to get an interview on that. It just keeps
00:19:03.480
getting crazier and crazier. The NDP has been sort of ignoring it almost up until now. Um, but they now
00:19:10.240
have, uh, an affidavit, Mr. Ranhawa and the Conservatives have an affidavit from the Green
00:19:16.200
Party candidate. I think his name is Manjit Sahota, Green Party giving the Conservative
00:19:21.960
Party an affidavit. So to me, I'm like, whoa, that sounds like, like pretty good evidence there.
00:19:26.660
But he said, you know what? I went to that home and I didn't leave my pamphlets or anything
00:19:34.460
because the worker told me that they do not vote there. Like there's no point in you coming
00:19:40.820
here giving your spiel because nobody votes, um, and explain that they're not able to vote
00:19:45.860
kind of thing. So how did 21 out of 25 beds then vote, which potentially is every client
00:19:53.580
that they were caring for at the time, how did they all vote? And why are they telling
00:19:57.820
the Green candidates something else? Um, so I interviewed Mr. Ranhawa about that. And then
00:20:03.340
in contrast, now the NDP has come out and claim they have their own affidavit. And in that
00:20:09.400
affidavit, they're saying it's from the son of one of the affidavits of, uh, the individual
00:20:15.880
who's claiming that after they came forward and said, I was coerced into voting for the
00:20:20.080
NDP, they say that they were mistreated by the workers after doing that. So that's another
00:20:25.680
allegation. So now the NDP has an affidavit from that person's son. And so the NDP is claiming
00:20:33.400
that this individual is schizophrenic. We haven't named the individual the whole time and, um,
00:20:38.460
that the conservative party has essentially coerced these individuals into saying this
00:20:43.380
and, and how dare they? So, oh my gosh, talk about spicy politics.
00:20:48.940
It's crazy. And it's, it's so important, this writing, because I mean, the fate of the election
00:20:56.200
really sort of hangs in the balance. It's so close.
00:20:59.500
Well, the NDP is a one seat majority. And so this is the writing attributed to the one
00:21:04.100
seat. Cause this all, we all got the outcome of it. Like, I don't know, two, three weeks
00:21:07.800
later or whatever it was. So yes, you're right. It literally is the writing that holds the balance
00:21:13.740
of, uh, whether it's a tie or a majority NDP government.
00:21:20.680
Well, what happens next is there is that continued pressure to have one, an independent review,
00:21:26.920
which you can take action at in just a matter of seconds at bcelectionintegrity.com through our
00:21:32.640
email campaign. Two, we wait to see what the courts decide. Will they hear this matter? I would hope
00:21:38.540
that they would. It seems pretty crucial. I would be quite surprised if they say no, because there is
00:21:43.900
evidence. It's not like it's just made out of thin air. Um, and again, just continuing with that
00:21:50.360
pressure, of course, the conservative party of BC is saying, Hey, we need this looked into. And it's
00:21:55.560
quite shocking to me that, uh, elections BC is just washing their hands of it right now.
00:22:00.600
Yeah. It seems odd considering it's their job to not just protect the integrity of elections,
00:22:06.360
but also make sure that the public has confidence and that the elections are conducted fairly. Um,
00:22:13.560
before I let you go, um, because we're both very busy, um, people constantly email me about the
00:22:20.860
ostriches. What about the ostriches? What about the ostriches? And I will, I will, I will let you
00:22:25.980
know. And it's no surprise to anybody who sits in on our staff calls that I am anti ostrich generally
00:22:30.940
speaking as a bird. I do not care for them, but that doesn't mean that they should be exterminated
00:22:36.660
by the state. Um, yeah. I mean, I would maybe choke one depending on the day, but that again,
00:22:44.260
I would not want the state to do it. Um, Drea, tell us about the ostriches. Well, if you, it's,
00:22:50.940
it's a long entangled story. So I am going to tell you our URL if you want to like totally get all the
00:22:56.560
history and even help to take action. It's called save the ostriches.com. Um, but that is the 400
00:23:05.560
ostriches out in Edgewood, BC, who the Canadian food inspection agency is just hell bent on murdering
00:23:13.800
or killing off in the name of protecting the public from the avian flu. Why is that so crazy?
00:23:20.280
Well, what's so crazy about it is that according to the farmers, these birds have, especially the
00:23:26.520
ones that are alive, have immunity. They apparently already went through the virus. They didn't have
00:23:31.780
the sniffles or nothing. The younger ones months ago did get sick and some died. And so apparently a
00:23:39.940
PCR detected that two of the dead ones had it, but now months and months and months have passed since
00:23:45.140
the farmers have been resisting this, meaning the birds are even more, um, you know, immune than they
00:23:50.420
were before. And the key part of this, when you think of public health and how our, you know, public
00:23:56.420
health officials have been, um, pushing things and, and, uh, the state is that these birds have actually
00:24:03.580
been part of a program between the U S Japan and Canada to further vaccines for the avian flu. Now
00:24:12.180
vaccines that are not using MRNA technology. And remember that Moderna just got a huge, huge funding
00:24:20.240
of $590 million for MRNA avian flu stuff. So, so the scientist that's in charge of that is already
00:24:27.740
working on that. And so they're saying these birds are healthy and they're not for food consumption.
00:24:32.160
That's not what they're used for. We're in the middle of nowhere and we've been isolating and
00:24:37.640
they are furthering science. They are so valuable. Um, and so the latest on that is that these farmers
00:24:44.200
are fighting back, which I find in British Columbia, when I reach out to the farmers, they don't want to
00:24:48.120
publicly fight. They just kind of want to be quiet and just hope everything works out. So I am very proud
00:24:53.880
of these farmers for fighting back. And they've had some wins in the sense that they did get the right to
00:24:59.420
have a judicial review heard. And then what happened? Well, the CFIA tried to dodge that.
00:25:05.460
They tried to find a legal loophole to that. And so what they said after the judge very clearly said,
00:25:10.380
no, you're not killing these birds right now. By the way, at the stroke of midnight, just before,
00:25:14.820
um, I think it was February 1st or yeah, February 1st, he said, no, we're going to do a judicial review.
00:25:21.500
So the CFIA came forward and basically said in the course, well, uh, we understand you're saying
00:25:26.940
that the farmers don't have to kill the birds because that's what the order is. Um, but you
00:25:32.220
didn't say somebody else couldn't kill. Like we, so we're just going to hire someone else. And the
00:25:36.820
judge was like, no, it's, it's clear. Um, but they did, uh, supposedly expedite the time that we're
00:25:43.780
going to see the judicial review. So the farmers and their legal team have less time to prepare for all
00:25:50.060
of that. And so they're really just hell bent on trying to kill these birds. Cause I think it sets
00:25:54.600
a precedent if they can't, then you have these other farms going, Hey, our, our flocks healthy
00:25:59.840
too. And so they don't want to do that. Right. Uh, I mean, the state must not have this power,
00:26:07.380
even if you don't care about ostriches and trust me, I don't, the CFIA and the government is so bad
00:26:15.440
that I'm on team ostrich right now. Um, because if, even if you don't care about the animal in
00:26:22.380
particular, and again, I want to reiterate, I don't like ostriches. Um, this is about property
00:26:27.800
rights. This is about the state just coming and just killing something, uh, taking something of
00:26:33.220
value from you for absolutely no good reason without any sort of recourse, which is absolutely
00:26:39.560
outrageous. And without testing, they will not test the animals to see if they have immunity and
00:26:45.340
to see if they're still sick. Cause that's the proof that would take away the reason for
00:26:50.340
killing these animals. Yeah. Anyway, Drea, once again, tell us the, uh, pro ostrich campaign that
00:26:57.600
you're running. We can find out, uh, information about how to put pressure on the appropriate people,
00:27:03.540
um, including our agriculture and farming minister, uh, and people involved in the CFIA that can make a
00:27:11.660
difference here at save the ostriches.com. Well, Drea, thanks so much for taking the time out of
00:27:17.840
your very, very busy day to jump on, uh, with me and let my viewers know what you're working on in
00:27:25.860
British Columbia. I know, uh, based on the reception that you had at that BC conservative AGM that people
00:27:33.100
really love and appreciate the work that you're doing, telling the other side of the story and sticking
00:27:39.180
up for the little guy. Um, before you, there was just an absolute vacuum in British Columbia and I
00:27:44.640
think British Columbians, and I think all Canadians really appreciate you for that.
00:27:55.200
Well, friends, we've come to the part of the show wherein I invite your viewer feedback. If you have
00:28:10.600
something to say about what we discussed on the show today, for better or for worse, I'm giving you my
00:28:15.220
email address right now. It's Sheila at rebelnews.com. Put gun show letters in the subject line and let me
00:28:23.000
know what you think, uh, because without you, there's no rebel news, right? So I have to give
00:28:27.760
you the opportunity to give me viewer feedback. If you don't like what I'm doing, rebel news no longer
00:28:32.760
exists because we'll never take a penny from Justin Trudeau. You know, the mainstream media,
00:28:37.840
they don't care whether you like them or even watch them because they are falsely insulated from
00:28:46.300
the market correction they so rightly deserve come in their way. Um, now I don't always take
00:28:57.360
viewer feedback specifically just on the show, but I go looking for it on all the work that we do,
00:29:02.340
not just my work, but all the work that we do at rebel news. I want to know what you think.
00:29:06.640
Now, today's viewer feedback doesn't come from the show. It comes from a video I did about a father
00:29:13.500
who is trans identified and who stabbed his daughter and severed her esophagus or at least
00:29:32.720
damaged her esophagus. She remains in hospital and he is, was out on bail. Um,
00:29:43.500
until his family suggested that perhaps he should not be out if he is so dangerous
00:29:50.840
that he gave into the delusion telling him to stab his child. And he continues to post on his social
00:29:58.080
media accounts. I went through his social media and his YouTube account and did a video that explained
00:30:04.800
why if anybody was paying attention at all, they should have seen this coming.
00:30:13.500
Any subscribers to his YouTube account, anybody on his social, multiple social media accounts,
00:30:18.580
including multiple Facebook accounts, you know, Canadian news isn't allowed on Facebook,
00:30:23.040
but this sort of stuff is, and I'm not an expert, but when I know somebody says that they
00:30:31.200
have voices inside of them and one is a male and one is a female in the olden times,
00:30:36.320
we would have considered that mental illness, but now that's just, I guess, non-binary-ness.
00:30:44.260
And the point of my video was that these children were just collateral damage in a society that does not
00:30:55.520
or will not say the things that needs to say because they are so taken in that society is so taken in by
00:31:07.980
political correctness and this left-wing agenda that, uh, your identity is, uh, I guess, transient.
00:31:20.740
Uh, what, and these kids, uh, paid the price for a society that refuses to call it like it is anymore.
00:31:32.620
So, uh, slow finger two writes on YouTube, they refuse to call this a split personality leading to
00:31:41.420
full-blown schizophrenia and had decades of treatment options. One personality awful often grows into a
00:31:47.200
violent character to blot out the one that feels inadequate. Simple psych one-on-one must be that.
00:31:53.560
Now all the psychologists are woke, uh, ask Jordan Peterson about the woke psychologists who went after
00:31:59.560
him for speaking out about, uh, tangible truth online, right? This stuff used to be mental illness and
00:32:11.160
everybody knew it. And now, uh, we turn a blind eye to what could be very serious and violent mental
00:32:20.920
illness for the sake of political correctness. You know, we don't want to offend. We don't want to
00:32:28.420
be called transphobes. Um, when the mental illness sufferer is in a, uh, protected political class,
00:32:38.260
we're just all told to shut up and maybe we'll learn something now that, uh, a little child was gravely
00:32:46.220
injured. Let's keep going. Scuba Steve 70, 22 writes and typical Canada. This unhinged individual
00:32:54.820
is out on bail sickening. He critically injured a child, his child. He should be behind bars. This
00:33:00.780
should be about the child fighting for her life, but he makes it all about himself. He's the worst
00:33:05.100
kind of narcissist. Yeah. Uh, in his social media posts, he actually says like, Oh, you know, like I'm
00:33:10.400
going through a lot post stabbing the child. Uh, and you trust me, nobody is more upset about this
00:33:19.380
than me. Wild 1957 flower says Sheila. Thanks for your bold hold. No punches. Fact-based coverage of
00:33:27.820
this deeply disturbing and dark event. The chickens are coming home to roost. I pray for the full mental
00:33:32.540
and physical recovery of his children. He had to go fund me to pay for his bills. You can see that
00:33:39.760
this was a family clearly in crisis. And so there were financial pressures on this family. The older
00:33:48.040
child, according to his, uh, social media posts about his efforts to fundraise, his older child
00:33:57.140
went to Calgary to go to the only trans friendly school. They're indicating that the older child
00:34:03.460
is also trans. It's funny how this stuff runs in families, isn't it? Ms. Rahichik says children are
00:34:12.500
being sacrificed on the altar of false empathy. Exactly right. Exactly right. And, uh, I'm not naming
00:34:21.040
the dad now because I believe there are publication bans in place. Although my piece went up before the
00:34:26.720
publication bans, I believe, uh, the name is out there. I'm just not just, uh, I'm going to be
00:34:32.660
careful about saying it. Uh, but the story's out there and the name is out there. Find it if you
00:34:38.600
want. I'm just, uh, I'm not going to today. Well, everybody, that's the show for today. Thanks so
00:34:44.180
much for tuning in. I'll see everybody back here in the same time and in the same place next week.
00:34:48.120
And as always, don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think.
