00:00:00.000 Well guys, it happened again. I'm really sorry the week got away on me, so
00:00:03.800 I'm doing another Letters show. I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Gunn Show.
00:00:08.600 Letters show you.
00:00:38.600 And then we were at the G7, and then yesterday was the Canada Day holiday, and so I was unable
00:00:50.040 to book a guest. Usually I film the day before, so there are no catastrophes, and it's easier
00:00:55.860 for me to line up a guest that way. It's easier for me to plan the week. Now you know my logistics,
00:01:00.200 but that just hasn't been the case when I've been out of the studio so much. But thankfully,
00:01:06.460 thankfully, you all sent me your questions not all that long ago. I put a call out and said,
00:01:13.420 like, hey, I'm doing a lot of out-of-the-studio work over the next little bit. Send me your
00:01:18.500 questions. And you sent me so many questions that I've been able to rely on them for a few
00:01:24.820 different weeks while everything just sort of piled up on me. So I'm doing it again.
00:01:32.320 I still have a bunch of questions for you or from you to me. And so I thought I would just sit down
00:01:39.640 and continue to answer more of them. And also, if you still have that link in your email that I sent
00:01:45.480 out, I don't know, close to a month ago, calling for your questions, and you have more, send them
00:01:50.500 there because Lord knows my life isn't going to get any easier or less busy. So I might be calling on you
00:01:56.340 again, to be the guest for the gun show. And I promise I'm going to do my best to put together
00:02:00.120 a proper show with a newsmaker that you care about for next week. But for this week, you are the
00:02:07.420 newsmaker that I care about. So let's get into it. Jose asks, what is a healthy amount of carbon
00:02:13.120 in the atmosphere? And are we anywhere close to that? Well, I thought that I would look that up for you.
00:02:20.240 Because, according to the climate scaremongers, the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
00:02:35.760 have never been this high, but that is definitely not true. Prehistoric Earth, when the animals were
00:02:42.220 bigger, because the food they ate was bigger, because there was carbon in the atmosphere that
00:02:48.360 fed the plants and allowed the plants to grow to enormous sizes, which meant that they could
00:02:55.080 support animals that were much longer or larger, the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
00:03:02.460 were much higher than they are now. And it led to a greater diversity of the flora and fauna
00:03:10.120 on the face of the earth. So while the climate scaremongers will tell you that today's 419 parts
00:03:24.860 per million of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is the highest CO2 in 14 million years, 14 million
00:03:33.940 years in the span of the face of the earth is not all that long at all. But they don't want you to
00:03:38.240 have that context whatsoever. Philip says, Carney and his liberals need to leave the autistic youth 1.00
00:03:46.300 alone. As far as I'm concerned, he and his liberal cabinet need to be added to the list. They're all
00:03:51.180 crazy. Thank you, Philip. I'm not sure what you mean there, Philip. But do you mean the autistic youth, 1.00
00:03:58.240 and I think it's primarily girls that are autistic, who are being told they're trans, instead of just a
00:04:04.180 regular old autistic girl that interacts with the world differently than other girls? You know, girls 0.99
00:04:09.800 are emotional and they're empathetic, and they sort of have that emotional intuition that boys don't
00:04:15.700 have. And so autistic girls, they struggle to interact with the world the way that their other female 1.00
00:04:24.080 peers do. And they're frequently being told that they are trans, instead of just autistic girls who
00:04:33.160 experience life and emotions differently. And if that's what you mean by the liberals should leave
00:04:39.720 them alone. I absolutely agree. Bill Mulder says, Sheila, thanks for looking after us and delving into
00:04:48.620 areas that are uncomfortable for politicians. Oh, well, you're welcome. My question is, why has the
00:04:55.100 federal or provincial government not held a forensic investigation into the so-called graves at
00:04:59.260 Kamloops Residential School? I know that the band has full control of the site, but if it were
00:05:03.920 anywhere else, if a grave was suspected on a property, the area would be cordoned off, and a whole forensic
00:05:10.120 team would be there. Thank you, Bill Mulder, Delta MBC. Yes, you are right. If we are to believe that
00:05:18.400 this is a crime scene, why aren't the RCMP involved in doing forensic crime scene investigation?
00:05:29.460 You know, if a genocide took place there, why isn't the UN there with their genocide investigators?
00:05:34.240 They're actually really good at investigating genocide. They're just real bad at stopping it.
00:05:38.200 You know, there's Rwanda, the Balkans. They're not great at preventing a genocide as it's happening or
00:05:48.220 before it happens, but they are really good at uncovering exactly what went down. And yet they're
00:05:54.300 not here either. Seems odd, right? It's almost like there's money involved and an acknowledgement that
00:06:04.660 the truth is not and has never been what they presented to us. And this was a hoax, a lie that went
00:06:15.260 around the world. Like, look, bad things, I acknowledge completely bad things happened at
00:06:20.100 Indigenous Reserves, as they did at many schools. It was a different time. But a story that started as
00:06:31.160 215 dead kids in a mass grave has evolved a lot. And, you know, we were, we canceled Canada Day over
00:06:41.440 this. We were called genocide heirs as a nation. And I think to begin the healing, to begin true
00:06:56.080 reconciliation. The first part of the whole truth and reconciliation, uh, mantra of the government
00:07:03.200 is truth. And we need the truth so that we can actually know what we're reconciling.
00:07:11.360 And, uh, I'm not sure if we'll ever truly know the truth. I think we all have a pretty good idea of
00:07:18.840 what actually happened there. Could be an old septic field. Uh, anomalies on ground penetrating
00:07:26.680 radar are not bodies until we put a shovel in the ground. And that just hasn't happened. And I think
00:07:34.100 we're all left to consider why. All right. Robert Roy says,
00:07:43.540 I'm wondering why nobody ever looks into the abuse of the student worker visas or temporary foreign
00:07:51.620 worker programs. I have personally seen how the abuse takes place. In my case,
00:07:57.580 it's people from India. They are paying the owner of a business $35,000 in some cases,
00:08:04.420 cash into his pocket. In exchange, he employs them as temporary foreign workers for two years.
00:08:09.840 In one case, after two years, the worker does not get her permanent residency. So she, he was going
00:08:16.660 to charge her another $35,000. Fortunately or unfortunately, depends on how you look at it.
00:08:22.100 The program she came through was no longer available. I've seen him do this to multiple
00:08:27.260 people. And when he employs them, he abuses them. If they make mistakes, he makes them pay the money
00:08:34.080 back. The business is a fast food restaurant. He has five of them. Just to clarify, if they
00:08:39.760 make the food wrong or the order, they hand notice incorrect, he makes the employee pay
00:08:46.700 him the money for the product. If they don't close properly at night, he makes them come in and fix
00:08:51.520 whatever issues in the morning. And of course, none of this is paid for. The extra hours is not
00:08:55.340 covered. Why would he ever hire a Canadian when he can make thousands and thousands of dollars by 0.94
00:08:59.880 bringing in a foreign worker? You never see the story in the papers. And then he tells me
00:09:05.200 not to read the rest of it on air. And I'm not gonna. But yeah, when you have a temporary foreign 0.99
00:09:15.060 worker system that incentivizes people to bring in low unskilled workers and employ them over Canadian
00:09:24.100 students or Canadians, it does a couple things. It makes it rife for abuse and it drives the average
00:09:30.840 cost of wages down for everybody. It makes, uh, people vulnerable. Like, and let's not even talk
00:09:38.100 about, uh, bringing in temporary foreign workers to do jobs that, uh, Canadian high school kids used
00:09:44.700 to do. Um, the left tells me they're against slavery, but this sure sounds like slavery to me.
00:09:52.800 And then there's the abuse on the other side. So you come in as a temporary foreign worker,
00:09:56.980 you get here, you claim refugee status, and then now you're in the refugee queue and you've
00:10:02.340 disappeared. And then maybe you'll marry a Canadian while you're here. And so, uh, all of a sudden you,
00:10:08.520 you found your way into our country and you're not going home and we don't have housing for anybody 1.00
00:10:17.560 that's already here. We don't have jobs for anybody that's already here. We don't have healthcare for
00:10:23.380 people who are already here. We don't have infrastructure like roads. Have you been on
00:10:27.680 the 401 lately? Uh, for people who are already here, we just can't bear the cost. We just can't.
00:10:35.840 Uh, and you know, there's the diploma mills. Everybody's a temporary foreign student. I've 1.00
00:10:40.640 opened up Joblo strip mall, uh, trucking academy, and then temporary foreign students
00:10:49.060 from India come to my trucking academy and it becomes a diploma mill for temporary foreign 1.00
00:10:56.680 students to make their way into Canada and then never leave. Uh, but we will never see this addressed
00:11:02.060 by the liberals because they think the immigration targets are just fine. Actually,
00:11:07.720 they want to fill up this country with a hundred million people, a hundred million people.
00:11:11.600 It's remarkable. Um, we we'll never catch up. We'll never catch up. And the more people we bring,
00:11:21.660 the lower the wages get, which again, what are we doing? Importing a slave underclass from the third 1.00
00:11:29.140 world? Where's the dignity in that? This one comes from Don Armitage. One other issue that I
00:11:39.980 wish Danielle Smith would insist on is a triple E Senate. Without that, the four Western provinces 1.00
00:11:44.300 will continue to be treated as colonies. Okay. So for people from outside of Alberta, because this was
00:11:52.720 a huge issue for Alberta and to some extent Saskatchewan, the triple E Senate is stands for
00:11:59.700 equal elected and effective. So elected accountable to the people equal as an equal representation
00:12:07.460 between Alberta and the East based on our population and effective as in it should be able to get
00:12:15.980 things done. And if it can't, we'll elect a new one. Um, and that would require cracking open the
00:12:25.560 constitution and having a big constitutional fight. Do you think the East who are unfairly weighted
00:12:35.320 in confederation are going to agree to that? Of course they won't. Now, Alberta has had
00:12:42.000 some success in doing that without cracking open the constitution, at least to some extent. It's not
00:12:49.620 equal, but we do elect our senators here. And the convention, the accepted convention has been
00:12:58.840 that the prime minister of the day previously, Stephen Harper would honor the will of Albertans and
00:13:07.240 appoint the senators we have elected to the Senate. So that was our way of not cracking open the
00:13:15.280 constitution, causing a big fight. It gave us one of the ease. Nobody else did it, but we did it. And
00:13:22.700 it was up to the prime ministers to respect us enough to choose the people we had chosen for
00:13:30.980 the Senate. Uh, Justin Trudeau threw that in the garbage, completely disregarded the will of our
00:13:37.960 elected, uh, senators or the will of Albertans to have our senators appointed. Mike Shaikh is what's
00:13:45.460 called a senator in waiting. Erica Barutz is the second senator in waiting. Instead of Erica Barutz,
00:13:50.040 we got, uh, Senator Criswell's a radical sex activist weirdo. That's who Justin Trudeau chose to 0.85
00:13:57.320 reflect the culture of Albertans. Um, so I guess to answer your question, I wish Daniel Smith would
00:14:07.900 push it too, but inside Confederation, the way it is so unfairly structured,
00:14:14.020 do you think the East is going to give up that power to us? Would they concede that power to us?
00:14:23.260 I don't think so. And I know the liberals won't either.
00:14:28.300 Blue Sky 205 says, how well is the average Quebec citizen faring since the province went on its own?
00:14:37.140 What are the pros and cons? This topic should be well looked into. Well, you know, I'm happy to look
00:14:43.100 into it for you. Quebec has never gone on its own. How's it faring since they went on their own?
00:14:50.620 From where to where? Quebec is still firmly in Confederation. They never voted to leave. In fact,
00:14:56.760 they get more from Alberta than ever before. So I guess to answer your question, they're doing great
00:15:03.620 because they get all the perks of being a have nothing within Canada
00:15:09.360 while never actually having to leave. So they get provincial autonomy. They get their own
00:15:17.160 separatist parties provincially and federally. Um, they get to block pipelines. They get equalization
00:15:24.240 billions from the West into their pockets from resource development that they refuse to develop
00:15:29.540 on their own and that they refuse to let us develop at this point. Um, so yeah, they're doing fine.
00:15:36.420 Um, so it sounds like it's all pros for them, but they didn't leave. They're still here. And, uh,
00:15:45.700 that's about it.
00:15:49.800 Uh, but on the part of it should be looked into
00:15:52.360 there were, uh, and on the topic of Western separation, there were research documents,
00:16:01.520 binders actually of documents compiled by the separatists in Quebec to address the forces of
00:16:07.280 no, as in when they were running the referendum, the people who would object to separation
00:16:12.720 based on certain issues, what would we do about the police? What will we do about the military? What
00:16:18.460 would we do about the pension? What would we do about the dollar? Uh, what would we do about
00:16:22.720 healthcare? They actually sat down and figured out what they would do so that when they put the
00:16:29.820 referendum question to people that they would have all the information that they needed in the
00:16:37.680 referendum to answer with certainty, a yes or a no. And so for Western separatists or Western
00:16:47.520 independence minded people, it depends on who you talk to and how they like that, uh, descriptor,
00:16:53.440 that information's out there. Somebody's already thought about it. Somebody's sort of already done
00:16:58.380 the work, um, for Western independence minded people. And they might want to lean on that because
00:17:05.000 while most days I feel like I have very little in common with, uh, Quebec, they've done the work
00:17:12.440 on this and, uh, we should maybe lean on them a little bit. Jim Cowan asks for some investigative
00:17:24.800 journalism on the financial side of COVID, how much went where waste, et cetera. You know, we have been
00:17:31.980 on this at rebel news from the very beginning from the thrown out PPE in the two warehouses, one in
00:17:39.940 Regina, um, that were mismanaged by the public health agency of Canada. By the way, Teresa Tam just
00:17:46.160 got the order of Canada for mismanaging that. Um, the PPE that was sent to China, the PPE that never
00:17:52.120 came back from China, the billions and billions of dollars in vaccine procurement, including one
00:17:57.820 Canadian made vaccine that was made in conjunction with the tobacco company that couldn't get UN or World
00:18:02.340 Health Organization approval. The ventilator scandals of Frank Bayless, um, ventilators, uh, millions
00:18:10.780 upon millions, hundreds of millions of dollars in ventilators that were purchased for an inflated
00:18:17.540 rate from Frank Bayless and then sold for scrap after the fact. Um, the pandemic advertising,
00:18:25.020 the, um, um, vaccine lotteries, even the amount of money spent on consultants for the vaccine injury
00:18:35.900 program. We've covered all of that between myself who looks into the financial implications of this
00:18:45.240 stuff. And Tamara Ugolini, who has just been tracking the madness in the medical side of the pandemic,
00:18:52.080 even years later, we're just getting just a little bits of the full extent of just how bad it was. So
00:19:01.540 we've done our best. We will do more. Last one. Last question is from Andrew. He says,
00:19:10.240 dear Sheila, I'm sharing my RCMP journey. And again, I want to be clear, I'm not against the RCMP,
00:19:16.620 but I didn't like their vaccination policy and the actions of some of their officers during COVID,
00:19:25.420 um, brought disgrace upon the red surge. Anyways, let's keep going. I'm sharing my RCMP journey from
00:19:32.760 2006 to my 2023 retirement rocked by the 2021 vaccination policy. I started at Depot,
00:19:38.840 depot, August 14th, 2006 through to January 29th, 2007, officially joining January 29th,
00:19:49.060 2007 per my ROE. August 13th, 2021.
00:19:57.780 Got an email on the mandatory vaccine policy echoed by K division on August 26th, September 29th,
00:20:05.360 health services asked my status. October 5th, only vaccinated got training. October 6th hit a hard,
00:20:12.640 a notice to comply, a letter mandating vaccination by October 29th and an email, um,
00:20:19.820 for attestation and training. October 15th had attestation instructions. October 21 warned us of
00:20:27.500 leave without pay by November 15th, if non-compliant. October 27th updated leave without pay policy.
00:20:36.040 October 29th was the first warning. November 9th, staff sergeant's letter said I wasn't compliant.
00:20:44.020 November 15th, I was escorted out. This is a good cop in a time of rising crime, escorted out of the
00:20:51.680 building. Like a danger, like he's the danger to the community and not the bad guys. He just wants to
00:20:57.780 arrest. November 21st, Matthews had me surrender my gear, badge ID keys, and clear my desk under
00:21:05.200 supervision, signaling termination. My pay benefits and pension stopped. ROE said November 18th, 2021
00:21:12.280 was my last day. I contacted NPF. I think that's the National Police Federation.
00:21:21.960 November 22nd and applied for EI November 23rd. But March 17th, 2022, EI denied me, citing the RCMP's
00:21:32.120 misconduct claim. January 2022, I struggled jobless, unable to support my family. My wife urged me
00:21:43.340 forward. And February 17th, I joined RCO Energy, finding purpose. June 19th, Matthews ordered me back.
00:21:51.860 I said I was terminated and committed elsewhere. She barred outside work without approval, threatening 0.99
00:22:00.160 action. June 20th, she called again. June 30th, staff Sergeant Fitzgerald, citing Ottawa pressure,
00:22:07.280 reinstated my pay, putting me on off-duty sick, ODS, despite my protests. Fearing trouble, I left RCO Energy
00:22:15.460 June 3rd, paid last on June 10th. RCMP pay resumed June 13th. June 25th, health services emailed about ODS.
00:22:26.660 Health services kept calling about my unrequested medical leave. A 2022 mental health note cited emotional
00:22:33.980 toil deeming me unfit. They made him unfit!
00:22:38.960 October 2022, exhausted, I met Matthews at Drayton Valley McDonald's, signed discharge papers, retired
00:22:47.760 January 10th, 2023. They made him quit a good job to come back, only to force him into retirement after
00:22:55.500 they abused him mentally. This ordeal shook my family. There's more to say about the story, but I've run out
00:23:03.260 of room. Sincerely, Andrew Granger. It's horrible. I don't like to leave the show on a dark note, but I
00:23:09.100 think your story was so very important. What bothers me about the pandemic the most is that the conscientious
00:23:18.660 objectors, the sort of people who are impermeable to pressure, who see something wrong and then refuse
00:23:26.480 to go along with it, they were forced out of all of our public institutions.
00:23:32.240 They are not the professors anymore. They are not the policemen anymore. They are not in the military.
00:23:36.780 They are not the doctors anymore. And those are the people we want in positions of leadership because
00:23:40.780 they have a strong moral code. Those people are gone, uh, like Andrew here. And, uh, I think it's a
00:23:49.920 disgrace. Well, everybody, that's the show for today. Thank you so much for tuning in and sticking
00:23:55.800 with me as I read letters one more time. I promise I'll do better next time. Um, God, what a horrible
00:24:04.180 way to end the show. Um, but that's a story that we all need to hear. We should not forget how good
00:24:10.040 people were treated. And, uh, as I always say, don't let the government tell you that you've had too much
00:24:16.820 to think.
