00:01:43.300 The Alberta government is moving to protect firearms rights one more time,
00:01:59.240 and firearms rights are becoming an electoral issue in British Columbia.
00:02:04.040 Of all places, I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Gun Show.
00:02:13.300 Alberta's Premier Daniel Smith continues to lead the way protecting firearms rights in this country.
00:02:30.360 She is making changes to the Alberta Bill of Rights, basically our Alberta constitution,
00:02:35.020 to protect both property rights, but also Albertans' rights to buy, keep, and use our firearms.
00:02:44.840 And it's prompting other conservative politicians in other parts of this country to make statements akin to the same.
00:02:56.380 For example, in British Columbia, prospective future Premier John Rustad of the Conservative Party
00:03:02.880 has said that he will not direct policing resources in British Columbia to confiscate the firearms of law-abiding people.
00:03:11.960 Apparently, they have other problems in British Columbia, like gangs and illegal firearms,
00:03:18.580 and of course, the fentanyl and opioid crisis, homelessness, human trafficking.
00:03:24.360 You know, there's a whole bunch of other things going on in BC that police could be spending their time on.
00:03:31.160 And that has drawn ire and outrage from the NDP, as you would expect.
00:03:36.940 Now, there are a lot of things happening in the firearms rights community,
00:03:39.960 so I thought I would bring on Rick Igersich of Canada's National Firearms Association to bring us up to speed.
00:03:48.960 Here's our interview from earlier. Take a listen.
00:03:50.920 So joining me now is good friend of the show, Rick Igersich of the National Firearms Association.
00:04:04.720 No, let me try that again, because you're Canada's National Firearms Association.
00:04:08.580 Yes.
00:04:09.520 So joining me now is good friend of the show, great friend of Rebel News, Rick Igersich of Canada's National Firearms Association.
00:04:15.940 And there's a lot to talk about in the realm of gun rights and gun legislation and the federal government's gun grab.
00:04:25.820 We're perhaps we'll see the liberals try to do something on that over the coming weeks and months.
00:04:32.880 So, Rick, I saw you at Rebel News Live over the weekend and I thought, you know what?
00:04:36.520 It's been a while since we had Rick on the show. A lot of things are happening.
00:04:39.340 So, Rick, thanks for agreeing to this interview.
00:04:43.760 First of all, because I'm Albertan and Alberta really seems to be leading the way on this issue, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
00:04:50.920 I should give my friends in our province to the east the one.
00:04:56.920 They're like Alberta with rats in Saskatchewan.
00:05:00.340 Saskatchewan, they've really been leading the way on this issue.
00:05:04.740 And now our premier, Daniel Smith, has entrenched gun rights in our Alberta Bill of Rights, or she will be, in two separate ways.
00:05:15.340 One through changes to recognition of property rights and another specifically by recognizing Alberta's firearms owning community
00:05:26.720 through adding firearms rights to our Bill of Rights.
00:05:30.420 Tell me, what's the buzz around the NFA on that issue?
00:05:34.120 Well, thanks for having me on your show, Sheila.
00:05:36.820 Yeah, it was nice talking to you and spending some time with you at the Rebel News Live.
00:05:44.420 With the Alberta gun rights, and right now we're well entrenched in this.
00:05:50.420 We've been working with a group called the Black Hats.
00:05:52.400 And the Black Hats has been, they came to the surface a couple months ago.
00:05:57.620 They were a group of people that wanted to rewrite the Alberta constitution and get more provincial control over things in Alberta.
00:06:10.140 And they've been reaching out.
00:06:11.840 And what they've been doing lately is trying to get people to come to the AGM in Alberta with Danielle Smith.
00:06:21.980 There's been some rumblings that there's another group trying to basically dethrone Danielle.
00:06:30.600 And the Black Hats have been reaching out to people.
00:06:34.400 And last I heard, it's going to be the biggest AGM in Canadian history.
00:06:39.420 They have 5,600 people signed up for it already.
00:06:43.320 So, yeah, and basically it's all about putting firearms laws back into the hands of the province instead of the federal government.
00:06:56.000 And Alberta is definitely leading the way.
00:07:00.280 You know, they definitely want to loosen things up there.
00:07:04.940 Everybody knows the laws we have right now are ridiculous.
00:07:08.160 And this new Alberta, I guess, rewritten Alberta constitution is going to do that.
00:07:14.680 And Danielle Smith is sticking to her guns. 1.00
00:07:17.820 She actually did a great presentation at Rebel Live.
00:07:23.900 And she actually talked about firearms, which I haven't seen any other premier across Canada mention firearms in any of their statements.
00:07:32.520 So, that was great to hear.
00:07:34.720 And like I say, when we were there, we were getting all kinds of responses from not even gun people, but just people, freedom-loving people were speaking to us.
00:07:44.900 And we were telling them what we do.
00:07:47.660 And we were actually getting memberships from non-gun people because of, you know, our freedom approach to stuff. 0.67
00:07:53.340 So, it was great.
00:07:55.040 And what's happening in Alberta, I hope that the AGM goes well because it's going to be a starting point for the rest of the provinces to follow along.
00:08:06.900 Because if they can establish that, I'm hoping that the other provinces jump aboard.
00:08:11.740 And, you know, we get some provincial control over, you know, firearms.
00:08:18.120 It's a federal thing, but I don't know how it's going to work out in the end.
00:08:22.120 But the fact that they want to, we'll see what happens.
00:08:25.220 You know, we can only hope.
00:08:26.820 We can only hope for an election to make it happen to the end.
00:08:31.520 Yeah.
00:08:32.120 So, Smith has proposed the following changes to the Alberta Bill of Rights.
00:08:38.240 The first one is, of course, to make one's own choices over vaccinations and medical decisions.
00:08:44.320 But the next two really do touch on property rights and firearms rights.
00:08:47.760 And the text of it reads,
00:08:50.860 The right to not be deprived of one's property without due legal process and just compensation.
00:08:58.140 And the right to legally acquire, keep, and safely use firearms.
00:09:01.660 And this has been something that the United Conservative Party has been working on since they started governing.
00:09:06.980 Of course, we kicked out Justin Trudeau's chief firearms officer and appointed our own, something that Saskatchewan has also done.
00:09:15.360 Danielle Smith has said that she will not direct Alberta RCMP to use scarce policing resources to hassle the law-abiding when we've got a plague of crime happening in our progressive-run cities.
00:09:27.940 And this is just more of their mandate to protect the property rights of normal people from government overreach.
00:09:35.780 You said that you're getting people who are not gun owners who want to join the NFA, and it really is a property rights issue.
00:09:42.580 This is if the government, the federal government, woke up one day and said,
00:09:45.960 You know that car that has never harmed anybody sitting in your driveway?
00:09:49.340 It's black and it looks cool, so you can't have it anymore.
00:09:52.260 That's what happens to gun owners in Canada constantly, especially with Justin Trudeau's ordering counsel.
00:09:59.200 And it goes to more of an extreme in some provinces than others.
00:10:03.700 I know Quebec right now is just, it's crazy with their gun laws.
00:10:07.460 And, you know, even I've been hearing, you know, the delays in getting your PALs and stuff.
00:10:12.540 Ontario isn't much better.
00:10:14.260 Well, I don't know.
00:10:16.300 That's a good question.
00:10:17.460 Why?
00:10:18.340 I don't know.
00:10:18.900 Attrition?
00:10:19.560 I don't know.
00:10:20.180 Maybe.
00:10:20.440 Maybe letting the licenses expire.
00:10:23.500 You know, I can only speculate.
00:10:24.780 I don't know.
00:10:25.780 But it just seems, I don't know.
00:10:28.100 You know, they say, well, understaffing.
00:10:30.140 But I don't believe that.
00:10:31.440 I don't believe understaffing.
00:10:32.760 Because everything's done with a push of a button these days.
00:10:34.700 You know, it's not like you have to fill out long forms to do this stuff.
00:10:37.680 And background checks are done every day anyway.
00:10:40.040 So they know that stuff's coming.
00:10:42.180 You know, they know the status of the person that's applying before it even starts.
00:10:48.020 So I don't know.
00:10:48.840 I just, it just seems like they're just dragging their feet.
00:10:53.340 On the other note, Alberta, Terry Bryant, amazing, amazing gal.
00:11:00.060 Get stuff done quick.
00:11:01.680 I know I work a lot with Terry.
00:11:03.400 I talk to her once every week or every couple weeks and discuss what's going on.
00:11:08.400 And, you know, Alberta, again, Alberta's breaking trail and leading the way. 0.96
00:11:12.460 And it just, I just hope the other provinces jump aboard.
00:11:16.100 You know, Ontario finally did jump aboard with not using provincial resources to seize and confiscate firearms.
00:11:25.760 But that took a while.
00:11:26.940 And then there's this mess we've got going on in B.C. right now.
00:11:32.420 Yeah, let's talk about that.
00:11:34.820 So B.C., I think for the first time in nearly a century, is poised to have a conservative government of some form.
00:11:42.500 From my lips to God's ears, let that be true.
00:11:45.340 But John Rustad, the leader of the conservative party, he has cannibalized the other right-of-center party into his own.
00:11:55.380 And he's got a lot of momentum.
00:11:57.340 People are sick and tired of the NDP making life more expensive.
00:12:02.300 And he is doing and saying conservative things.
00:12:05.140 This is unafraid conservatism happening in British Columbia.
00:12:08.900 I never thought I would see it in my lifetime.
00:12:11.400 And people are reacting to it positively.
00:12:14.940 And, you know, he's been coming out strong on other issues of personal choice.
00:12:19.860 And he said that he would follow the Alberta model, I guess, on firearms rights and not direct policing resources to snatch guns from the law-abiding anybody's in firearms rights.
00:12:33.640 And, of course, cue the NDP outrage, right?
00:12:36.780 This is how the NDP is framing this.
00:12:40.000 I pulled up the BC NDP press release on this.
00:12:43.700 It's on their campaign website.
00:12:45.340 Rustad confirmed today, for the fourth time, that he would direct police not to enforce recent gun laws, such as Bill C-21,
00:12:55.900 which restricts semi-automatic weapons like the AR-15 3D-printed ghost guns and freezes handgun sales.
00:13:03.780 That's not all that Bill C-21 does.
00:13:07.640 It also confiscates such notable, dangerous firearms as the Mini-14.
00:13:14.840 Yeah, yeah.
00:13:15.440 And a model of 410-bird guns.
00:13:17.260 Just wait for it.
00:13:18.000 The SKS in the next couple of days.
00:13:20.640 Exactly.
00:13:21.100 Yeah, yeah.
00:13:21.920 And, you know, and that's the thing.
00:13:23.860 And E.B. has just started a campaign in the last few days.
00:13:29.560 And, you know, he's citing that gangsters are using assault rifles, you know.
00:13:35.440 Okay, well, go get the gangster's guns. 0.69
00:13:37.420 What does that have to do with me?
00:13:38.620 I'm pretty sure I didn't see the gangsters at the PAL course.
00:13:43.340 Yeah.
00:13:43.520 It gets better, though.
00:13:45.620 He referred to handgun owners as gangsters.
00:13:49.540 In a recent radio debate he had, he actually called licensed law-abiding handguns owners as gangsters.
00:13:56.100 You know, he's trying to misdirect, you know.
00:14:00.320 He's just, I think they're starting to feel the heat.
00:14:05.320 And they're just dropping whatever they can.
00:14:08.380 And, you know, he actually said that the White Rock shooter, remember that little incident that took place?
00:14:14.340 Yeah.
00:14:15.040 That he used a full-auto-type firearm.
00:14:17.440 That's a comment that E.B. just made on the same radio show.
00:14:20.840 He used a full-auto firearm, which is not right.
00:14:26.860 You know, he's putting misinformation out there.
00:14:31.060 And, you know, he's misdirecting on purpose is what he's doing.
00:14:35.740 Right.
00:14:36.260 He is conflating the criminals with everybody else.
00:14:40.580 And, you know, what's most outrageous about this, I think, is that the NDP have some former police officers running for them.
00:14:48.000 And so they know better.
00:14:49.600 They know that this stuff isn't true, what David E.B. is saying.
00:14:54.380 They know that the gangsters with their handguns that were illegally acquired did not sit through the same RPAL course that you and I did.
00:15:03.600 But they're just letting the lie hang in the air, not correcting it.
00:15:08.840 They prey on the lack of knowledge.
00:15:12.220 I was going to say ignorance, but I don't think that's the right term.
00:15:14.400 No.
00:15:14.620 The lack of knowledge of urban people who are affected by these crimes.
00:15:18.840 They think that you can just go give some guy 200 bucks and get a handgun.
00:15:23.260 And that's I suppose you could.
00:15:24.960 But that's not how we're doing it.
00:15:26.320 Yeah, exactly.
00:15:27.660 You know, and you hit the nail on the head there, Sheila, when you said it's not the good guys.
00:15:32.900 It's not the law abiding firearms owners that are a problem.
00:15:35.420 He doesn't mention anything about smuggled guns, 3D printed guns, straw purchase, doesn't mention any of that.
00:15:43.400 You know, he talks about people like us that went through all the hoops to get our proper licensing.
00:15:49.660 And then all of a sudden we're the bad guys.
00:15:52.600 Just you know what?
00:15:53.620 It's the Justin Trudeau speak duplicated is what it is.
00:15:59.640 He's just he's just taking Justin Trudeau, Justin Trudeau's words and using using them in this election, which which for an NDP who have been taking a lot of heat lately on on the federal and some provincial levels, I they're they're aligning themselves with with the liberals.
00:16:17.940 And I think they'll continue to do so.
00:16:19.720 And it's unfortunate for the NDP, the real NDP voters out there, because their party is not the party they they expect it to be.
00:16:29.640 Yeah, you know, that's that is a good point.
00:16:33.100 I know that a lot of for some godforsaken reason, a lot of the rural parts of northern Ontario and northern Manitoba vote NDP.
00:16:43.940 Yeah, I think that's how we ended up with Nikki Ashton in Parliament. 1.00
00:16:47.320 And and and, you know, I think that this urban iteration of professional students, union activists and far left radicals of the NDP is not reflective of those rural NDP voters who do care deeply about firearms rights and many of whom use their firearms for sustenance hunting.
00:17:12.420 Yes. And you know what? And I think the and I think this this this goes to all parts of people voting for their parties.
00:17:20.980 I think northern Ontario is a really good example. You know, grandpa voted for NDP.
00:17:25.260 Dad voted for NDP. You know, mom voted for NDP. So I'm voting for NDP.
00:17:29.960 And it just. Yeah. So you vote for Charlie Angus.
00:17:32.880 Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. And, you know, it just I.
00:17:36.880 Yeah. But that happens a lot, even even in the in in the happens here, you know, it happens, you know, in the south, too.
00:17:45.020 You know, I know people that are hardcore liberals don't they don't agree with anything Justin Trudeau is doing, but they're hardcore liberals because their father and mother voted for liberal.
00:17:53.620 You know, I just I can't. It's hard to fathom sometimes, but this is where groups like us educate people, groups like rebel educate people, say, you know what, this isn't this isn't your father's or grandfather's liberal party.
00:18:08.960 This is the liberal. Today's liberals are are yesteryears socialists and communists, is my opinion.
00:18:16.380 So, you know, that's what's going on right across the country, but it's changing right now.
00:18:21.780 I saw the latest polls and it looks like the liberals in a federal election, if it were to be held today, might not even get a seat in Ontario, which is unheard of because of what I've talked about before.
00:18:31.880 The those 28 or 32 ridings in Toronto, which is the little red square, which I call the communist bloc.
00:18:38.320 Apparently, it's all going blue now. So I don't know.
00:18:41.900 You know, the end of the day, we need an election. But the only the only people right now, because they're leading so far in the polls is the conservatives.
00:18:50.380 Everybody else is just trying to avoid it and do whatever they can not to have an election.
00:18:54.460 And the worst are the NDP, you know, the NDP gun.
00:18:59.480 I call them the NDP gun grabbers because they're just the same as the liberal gun grabbers.
00:19:03.480 But Judd Mead Singh can't afford to have an election right now.
00:19:06.700 He's got no money. And so he's going to line himself as long as he can with Justin Trudeau.
00:19:10.680 And which is which is hurting the rest of the country, especially people like like us, you know, firearms people, you know, with the with the order and counsel still in place,
00:19:21.780 with nothing out there to challenge Bill C-21, you know, and who knows what they're going to come up before the election,
00:19:30.740 because, you know, it's been pretty quiet as far as the firearms issue has been going lately.
00:19:34.860 But, you know, and I know, Sheila, as soon as it comes close, they're going to throw firearms out there and they're going to, you know,
00:19:40.160 they're going to use it for a wedge issue just like they did last time.
00:19:42.840 So, you know, just buckle in and hang on.
00:19:45.840 Just like they're currently doing in British Columbia.
00:19:47.880 Exactly. Exactly.
00:19:49.160 You know what?
00:19:49.960 There are two things that become liberal wedge issues every every single election.
00:19:56.740 One is abortion and one is firearms rights and and they just scapegoat innocent Canadians to ensure that they cling on to power. 0.85
00:20:08.820 And it's true. 0.56
00:20:09.800 These liberals in the NDPs, they can see the freight train coming at them.
00:20:13.680 Yeah.
00:20:13.800 And so what they're going to do is do everything they can to hang on to power, because that truly is their only ideology is power.
00:20:20.840 And if it means Canada suffers while they wring another year's worth of salary out of it, then that's what they're going to do.
00:20:27.700 And Canada is suffering.
00:20:29.040 Look, just an example, the shooting edge in Calgary just closed down a few days ago.
00:20:34.720 You know, and it was it was one of those things.
00:20:36.800 And, you know, J.R. Cox, what what the intel that we've got is, you know, he was paying around 60 or sixty five thousand dollars a month rent.
00:20:48.560 And all of a sudden his rent went up to close to one hundred thousand dollars.
00:20:53.180 And Calgary has a really, really liberal mayor.
00:20:57.680 And there's a lot of stuff.
00:20:59.540 Yeah.
00:21:00.140 Yeah.
00:21:00.480 The piece of work.
00:21:01.440 All right.
00:21:02.000 And.
00:21:02.520 Oh, yeah.
00:21:03.160 And I mean, things are starting to fall apart.
00:21:05.080 But then again, that's not the whole thing.
00:21:07.120 It's all this this firearm legislation.
00:21:10.080 You know, there's no handguns to be sold anymore.
00:21:12.200 You know, they're taking semi out.
00:21:13.540 They're adding semi automatics to the list.
00:21:15.300 You know, it's making it tough for for any kind of firearms related business to run in Canada.
00:21:22.640 And, you know, and the liberals don't care.
00:21:24.740 They don't care about that.
00:21:26.260 You know, really, the liberals don't even care about firearms at all.
00:21:29.360 They care about votes and money.
00:21:30.580 And they'll say whatever needs to be said to get votes and money.
00:21:35.160 And that's that's what it's all about.
00:21:36.760 That's why that's why you don't see the liberals jumping on organized crime, smuggled guns, anything else, because there's no money in it.
00:21:43.940 There's more money in it.
00:21:45.140 Pressuring law abiding gun owners like us and using that for a point, labeling, label, labeling us as potential criminals because of the personal property we possess.
00:21:55.800 Yes. And, you know, it's a shame where Canada is today.
00:22:02.920 It really it really, really is a shame.
00:22:05.900 I wanted to ask you about the RCMP's mishandling of firearms.
00:22:11.560 This came to light in an order paper question that I covered and then it was picked up by mainstream media outlets.
00:22:18.880 If you or I handled our firearms as irresponsibly as some some of these RCMP officers, we would never be allowed to own firearms ever again.
00:22:34.340 Tell us.
00:22:34.600 Yeah, that's that's quite an incident.
00:22:36.240 They tried to put a lid on it at first and then then you broke the story, Sheila.
00:22:41.220 And now I just heard I think it was yesterday or the day before.
00:22:44.920 Oh, we recovered a lot of these firearms, but we didn't require recover any of the select fire machine guns that are missing.
00:22:52.180 So there's a bunch of fully automatic firearms out there, which Canadians weren't able to own since about 1969, actually in the 70s.
00:23:04.120 But the legislative legislation started in the 60s and and completely banned them in in the 70s.
00:23:11.500 But there's full automatic firearms missing from the RCMP.
00:23:17.900 They're worried about you with your Remington shotgun, semi-automatic shotgun that holds three rounds.
00:23:26.060 But there's full automatic firearms that are missing and somewhere in Canada, more than likely with criminals.
00:23:34.940 So, you know, Canada's Canada's police force.
00:23:38.420 There you go.
00:23:38.960 They can't secure their firearms.
00:23:40.400 It's funny if you look at the stats of law-abiding Canadians like you and I, we don't get our firearms stolen because we got them double locked.
00:23:48.200 We got them in safes.
00:23:49.500 You know, our guns are not readily accessible to criminals, but apparently the RCMP guns are somehow.
00:23:56.420 Well, and we don't even know if they were stolen.
00:23:58.900 You know, if somebody broke into my house and, God forbid, stole some firearms from my home, was able to get past the double lock through the safe, I would still be the victim of a crime.
00:24:08.760 Right?
00:24:09.220 You know what I mean?
00:24:10.120 But I don't, I don't know what happened to, we don't know if they were stolen from the RCMP or lost by the RCMP.
00:24:17.640 They got a pretty tight lid on that.
00:24:20.620 You know, it just, you know, luckily there's people like you and Rebel out there that find this information out and let people know what's really going on.
00:24:28.880 Because people, they would have kept a lid on that.
00:24:31.220 Nobody would have been aware that there's a bunch of loose machine guns running around Canada.
00:24:36.440 You know, it's crazy.
00:24:37.780 Now, I want to, before I take up your whole morning, I want to ask you about the amount of money spent so far on Justin Trudeau's so-called buyback.
00:24:49.640 And I hate calling it that because you didn't own this stuff in the first place, Justin Trudeau, so you can't buy it back from me.
00:24:56.040 You are compensating me for confiscation.
00:24:59.160 But it appears as though it's $67.2 million spent on this program and not a single firearm has been purchased from its law-abiding owner some four and a half years later.
00:25:14.860 Yeah, you know, it's funny how that number increased because it started at $11 million and all of a sudden overnight it jumped to $56.1 million.
00:25:24.060 And as of last week, it was $67.2 million.
00:25:28.500 And it just, you often wonder how much information is actually getting out to the public on how the government's spending their money.
00:25:36.080 But what have we got to show for this $67.2 million?
00:25:40.840 They haven't seized one firearm.
00:25:43.300 As far as I know, they haven't budgeted any money to compensate the people for these firearms.
00:25:50.340 They released a statement due to pressure from anti-gun groups that they're going to start confiscating firearms from dealers in mid-November.
00:26:04.540 But I haven't seen anything on any kind of compensation.
00:26:08.220 So basically, guns that are in gun shops and boxed up in boxes, and I don't think there's that many of them out there,
00:26:15.100 they're going to start to come and seize these guns.
00:26:19.520 I don't know where they're going.
00:26:20.800 I don't think they know where they're going.
00:26:22.380 I know, I've heard through the grapevine that there's some metal crushing companies and stuff involved with government contracts to supposedly grind these guns up.
00:26:31.980 But it's all a question of logistics.
00:26:36.640 Who is going to be going from gun shop to gun shop to seize these guns?
00:26:39.800 There's nothing in place.
00:26:41.300 LeBlanc's got this great big idea how he's going to go around to seize these firearms.
00:26:47.660 But like I said earlier, there's no talk about compensation.
00:26:52.320 There's no talk about how they're going to do this, where these guns are going.
00:26:55.860 All this is, in my opinion, and it's just like this whole, ever since this whole Order and Council stuff started,
00:27:04.420 it's just another way to appease the anti-groups to say that the Liberals are doing something.
00:27:10.520 Because, as you know, Sheila, there was a big uproar a couple weeks ago that, you know, Pauly Suvier and those people were saying,
00:27:18.220 well, you guys better do something or, you know, you're going to lose our support.
00:27:21.720 And you know what?
00:27:22.400 And there's the biggest con on the planet, in my opinion, also, because all these groups are getting financed by the Liberals.
00:27:30.420 Everybody knows that.
00:27:31.420 It's hard to prove.
00:27:32.240 But these groups are getting financing from somewhere, and I believe it's coming through the back door from the federal Liberals.
00:27:40.340 And now, this whole smoke and mirrors thing, well, you know, we'll come out and say that, you know, do something or else.
00:27:48.940 Basically, give the Liberals an ultimatum.
00:27:51.220 To me, again, in my opinion, I think this whole thing is staged just to stir up the gun issue again.
00:27:56.820 Yeah, you know, they do this all the time.
00:27:59.840 The Liberals, they, the Liberals, do this all the time on all sorts of other issues.
00:28:03.180 We see them doing it on the parents' rights issue.
00:28:05.660 So they fund the likes of EGAL, and then EGAL then takes parents to court in Saskatchewan on behalf of the Liberals,
00:28:13.080 because the Liberals can't do it themselves, because education is a provincial issue.
00:28:16.580 And they do this with all of their activist groups.
00:28:19.300 They just offload the activism, the political activism, onto these groups, and then they're funded with federal dollars.
00:28:26.860 So Canadians are paying for these activist groups to attack them, thanks to the Liberals.
00:28:34.340 And at the end of the day, these guns were so dangerous, they had to be banned immediately,
00:28:38.540 and they're still in the hands of Canadians four and a half years later.
00:28:41.280 And we remain the ones not committing the crimes.
00:28:44.460 Exactly.
00:28:44.860 Actually, the crime rate amongst actual criminals has gone up.
00:28:50.900 Right, not us, though.
00:28:52.140 Not us.
00:28:52.760 No, you know, and law-abiding licensed gun owners, if any of the crime rate is below 1%, but you know what?
00:29:02.960 That's also taking in suicides.
00:29:05.400 So, you know...
00:29:06.440 And paper crimes.
00:29:07.220 And paper crimes, exactly.
00:29:08.720 So, you know, the data is skewed.
00:29:10.900 It always has been.
00:29:11.820 You know, when I was in the Senate, you know, I brought that point up to the senators that, you know,
00:29:16.000 the data they're using is skewed, but they don't care.
00:29:18.660 If they have a piece of paper in front of them that says that, that's what they go for.
00:29:23.100 That's what they go with.
00:29:23.900 They don't care.
00:29:24.620 They don't research anything.
00:29:25.740 And it just...
00:29:26.440 It's to the point where it's becoming disgusting.
00:29:29.300 And I hope we get a government change sooner than later.
00:29:32.880 And I hope that Pierre Polyev sticks to his, no pun intended, but sticks to his guns because, you know,
00:29:41.220 we need some big changes in the horizon.
00:29:43.240 I don't know how long Canada can keep going under this government because we're watching it disintegrate in front of our eyes.
00:29:53.740 Yeah, we really are.
00:29:54.960 I just did the math as you were talking there.
00:29:56.980 At $67.2 million, at $100,000, a brand new cop, we could have had 672 extra police officers policing the streets of Canada's big cities to deal with the real criminals.
00:30:13.720 Instead, the government has spent it on doing nothing, literally nothing, to affect the crime rate.
00:30:19.520 And you know what, though, again, Sheila, that $67.2 million is what we know about.
00:30:25.040 What is the actual number?
00:30:26.220 Right.
00:30:26.640 Just so you know, just like they don't...
00:30:28.900 They really don't know how many firearms are out there.
00:30:32.600 They don't know how many gun owners are out there. 0.77
00:30:34.220 The numbers are changing on a daily basis.
00:30:36.160 It just, you know, it's whatever stats they can compile from somebody that doesn't know anything about what's going on, and they use that day.
00:30:44.800 It's ridiculous.
00:30:46.120 Yeah.
00:30:46.640 Well, and how could they possibly know?
00:30:48.120 Yeah.
00:30:48.280 Because a lot of these firearms that they are going to confiscate and then compensate, they don't know that they're out there.
00:30:55.160 Yeah.
00:30:55.480 They have no idea because they moved from unregistered to banned.
00:31:01.100 Yeah, yeah.
00:31:01.540 So how do you...
00:31:02.620 They have no contact with a majority of these firearms.
00:31:05.920 So how can they even get a rough estimate on what it's going to cost?
00:31:11.620 They're low-balling it to save face in the public.
00:31:14.620 Rick, I could talk to you all day.
00:31:16.020 We'll have to continue again in a couple weeks, Sheila.
00:31:20.700 Yes.
00:31:21.340 But the liberal corruption of the committees and the Foreign Interference Committee, it awaits me.
00:31:27.400 It awaits my return this morning.
00:31:29.580 How do people get involved with the NFA?
00:31:34.120 Yeah.
00:31:34.900 Yeah.
00:31:36.980 Come and see us.
00:31:38.140 You know, we have a website, nfa.ca, but we're on all the social media platforms.
00:31:42.840 Come and visit us on X, Instagram, YouTube.
00:31:46.360 LinkedIn, we've been getting a lot of solid response on LinkedIn lately.
00:31:51.660 They seem to leave us alone on LinkedIn.
00:31:53.940 So, you know, you come and visit us on LinkedIn.
00:31:57.200 And thanks again for having me, Sheila.
00:31:59.000 I appreciate this.
00:31:59.740 I appreciate helping us get the word out.
00:32:02.360 And all I can say is Canada's National Firearms Association in defense of freedom.
00:32:12.680 All right.
00:32:16.320 We've come to the letters portion of the show.
00:32:18.360 As I say, every single week without you, there's no rebel news.
00:32:20.900 So I do want to hear from you.
00:32:22.060 Your opinion matters to me.
00:32:23.440 Your viewer feedback matters to me.
00:32:25.400 Even your criticism matters to me.
00:32:28.080 If indeed it is honest criticism and not just, oh, I hate your face.
00:32:33.420 You stupid conservative or whatever.
00:32:36.540 If it's genuine, honest criticism, I'm happy to address it.
00:32:39.600 And I think today's letter, which came to me by my email, or you know what, wherever you're
00:32:46.380 finding a rebel news story, a clip of the show on YouTube or Rumble, just leave a comment in
00:32:55.180 the comment section.
00:32:55.940 I frequently go looking over there to see what people are saying.
00:32:58.860 But this one came to me from the letters.
00:33:00.480 It's Sheila at rebelnews.com.
00:33:02.120 And it is from my interview with my colleague Alexa Lavoie about the waste of tax money on
00:33:10.420 an international conference that she was able to buttonhole former New Zealand Prime Minister
00:33:17.420 Jacinda Ardern at.
00:33:18.780 She was here to try to shove her gross, tyrannical ideas down the throats of Canadians since she 1.00
00:33:26.760 has been resoundingly rejected by New Zealand voters.
00:33:30.920 So this one comes to me by way of Liana in Surrey.
00:33:40.140 And I'm happy to address this because I think maybe you missed something, Liana.
00:33:45.320 Hi, Sheila.
00:33:46.240 Enjoyed your interview with Alexa last week on the waste of taxpayer money on attendees of
00:33:50.420 international conferences and summits, etc.
00:33:52.760 So much fun watching news targets running away when they realize they've been caught.
00:33:56.940 I was rather disappointed, though, that I couldn't find any rebel reports on the biggest story
00:34:02.220 at this year's UN gathering.
00:34:04.460 I was hoping to hear an alternative viewpoint on the adoption of the Pact for the Future
00:34:07.760 at the summit of the future.
00:34:10.320 Perhaps there's an article behind the paywall.
00:34:13.200 Anyway, would love to see something in depth put out on video because the UN just managed
00:34:17.060 to get the member reps to agree to some real powers with teeth.
00:34:20.260 They won't just be international talking heads ganging up on the nations they hate anymore.
00:34:24.500 Now everyone has signed on the dotted line to make it more like an actual international
00:34:30.700 legislative body.
00:34:31.860 From what I gather, it will, of course, take time to implement.
00:34:34.440 But by the time it's too late, there will be no sovereign rights left for any nation.
00:34:38.280 It's my understanding that the only way to stop it now is for the US to pull their funding
00:34:42.200 from the UN, which would collapse the UN budget.
00:34:45.380 So I'm happy to tell you that we did actually do a video on this.
00:34:49.300 Tamera Ugolini is one of our UN watchers.
00:34:52.640 It's specifically on these pacts that sign away sovereignty.
00:34:55.700 She came to her UN dislike, I think, by way of her dislike of the World Health Organization.
00:35:03.340 I came at my UN dislike by way of their gun grabbing policies and their climate change
00:35:09.800 scams.
00:35:10.280 But she did actually cover the Pact for the Future and the fact that Justin Trudeau is pledging
00:35:19.600 $5 billion to the Pact for the Future.
00:35:26.460 So Canadians are on the hook for billions and billions of dollars on international initiatives,
00:35:32.520 which will harm our ability to make decisions to live our lives the way they choose.
00:35:39.400 So Tamera, what was all over this, um, you can find her video on YouTube, uh, because of
00:35:48.040 course we, we care deeply about, um, the federal government just conceding our rights to these
00:35:55.920 globalist bodies.
00:35:56.760 And we really don't have any recourse.
00:35:58.500 They're unelected, um, and basically unfireable at the United Nations.
00:36:05.180 And, uh, what do they know about my way of life out here in Northeastern Alberta, where I do my
00:36:11.120 best to live off the land.
00:36:12.260 So I hope that answers your question.
00:36:14.660 Um, again, if you want to write me a letter, you got questions, comments, um, hopefully I'll
00:36:18.680 be able to address them, uh, Sheila at rebelnews.com gun show letters in the subject line.
00:36:24.420 You might just see your question, comment, or even story idea addressed on air.
00:36:29.900 Well, everybody, that's the show for tonight.
00:36:31.340 Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:36:32.780 I'll see everybody back here in the same time in the same place next week.
00:36:36.180 I'll see everybody back here in the same time in the same time.
