The government of Canada is proving itself to be terribly incompetent and I couldn't be happier
00:00:07.880
about it. Yes, we're talking about the gun grab today. I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed and you're watching
00:00:30.000
Now, normally I don't cheer for government incompetence because it means a waste of taxpayer money and
00:00:37.400
usually something very, very bad being inflicted on poor law-abiding Canadians. And I should tell
00:00:46.680
you that the gun grab is something bad being inflicted on everyday Canadians. Law-abiding
00:00:52.540
Canadians who've done nothing wrong. They're not criminals except by way of an act of government
00:00:58.280
deciding to outlaw their property that was lawfully obtained and never used in the commission
00:01:03.680
of a crime. But it appears as though Canadians are uncooperative to say the least with Public
00:01:14.980
Safety Minister Gary Ananda Sangri's attempts to have us willfully turn over our property
00:01:22.380
to them. Their latest attempt at people self-confiscating their firearms mustered about two dozen guns
00:01:33.740
from a little over a dozen people. And hopefully this will teach the government that this is
00:01:42.320
a bad idea and Canadians don't want it. But, you know, this government is not a government
00:01:47.800
that learns anything easily. Now, today I have Tracy Wilson from the Canadian Coalition for Firearms
00:01:54.260
Rights to discuss the failures of Gary Ananda Sangri's gun control legislation and also where
00:02:03.340
policing money could be better spent in this country. Take a lesson.
00:02:08.700
Joining me now is good friend of freedom and good friend of the show, Tracy Wilson of the Canadian
00:02:22.820
Coalition for Firearms Rights. Tracy, I wanted to have you on the show because I've been watching
00:02:27.700
with quiet bemusement, although it's not so quiet. And when I think about it, I'm not all that bemused
00:02:34.580
because it's a tyrannical thing that the federal government's doing, but I'm pleased to see it's
00:02:41.460
failing. And that is Gary Ananda Sangri's failed gun buyback. And I loathe to use the word buyback
00:02:49.500
because these guns were never the federal government's property in the first place. But
00:02:54.720
the uptake does not match the expenditure or the political capital being waste on this thing. Tell us
00:03:02.680
all about it. Well, the more interesting number here. Okay, we'll backtrack. So the government's
00:03:07.440
been banning guns from licensed gun owners since May of 2020, as you well know. And of course,
00:03:12.780
there's no rhyme or reason. There's no method to their madness. They're just picking this gun,
00:03:17.940
but not that gun and continually adding to the list. And at the same time, promising that they're going
00:03:23.100
to go around and confiscate these from law abiding citizens like you and I, which of course, I've said
00:03:28.120
right from the beginning is logistically impossible. It's such a monumental effort that
00:03:34.700
the resources just simply don't exist for it. So what do they do here? They test out their system
00:03:41.180
with a pilot program in Little Cape Breton, picking on, you know, socio economically disadvantaged
00:03:47.960
communities. They pick on Cape Breton and they do this pilot program. And the idea here is they're
00:03:53.700
going to collect 200 firearms from people. And that should be enough to do the testing to test this
00:03:59.400
national system before they roll it out. So you're right, uptake was low. They only managed to grab
00:04:04.500
25 guns, you know, probably from a bunch of, you know, widows or whatever. But the more interesting
00:04:10.380
number here is actually the number 16, only 16 people participated. And, you know, we know the way
00:04:17.120
the bureaucracy works and government works testing a program of this scope and complexity on 16 people.
00:04:24.860
And Gary saying that it was a huge success is not just laughable. It's actually concerning
00:04:31.880
for the competence of not just this government, but Gary in particular, like just a whopper of a lie.
00:04:38.920
Like the amount of money that will be wasted on this program is going to be astounding. I'm sure
00:04:47.740
it's going to be well over a billion, probably two, because everything the government does is twice
00:04:53.700
what you even imagine it is. And this was done in a very reliably liberal voting place.
00:05:01.720
Yeah. And the uptake was entirely low. So now when you think about rolling this out to places like
00:05:07.000
beautiful downtown Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, I mean, it ain't gonna work, it ain't gonna work,
00:05:14.660
but they just keep proceeding with this thing. And claiming it's a success. Like there,
00:05:21.480
we have the evidence that it's not, but they will get up and hold a press conference saying what a
00:05:26.220
wild success it was. Well, liberals only tell the truth when they think nobody's listening. And we've
00:05:31.360
actually got evidence of that from Gary himself. You'll remember a few months back where I leaked
00:05:37.320
out that audio about Gary talking to one of his tenants. And he was very clear that this isn't
00:05:42.680
about public safety, that the gun grab is not going to work as a public safety measure. You know,
00:05:47.840
it's not really going to be enforced. If his tenant gets in trouble and gets arrested or whatever,
00:05:54.180
don't worry about it, he'll bail you out. If you get ripped off during the process of going through
00:05:58.960
the confiscation program, you get ripped off by the government, don't worry about it, he'll top it up.
00:06:04.960
Like just ludicrous behavior out of this guy, right? And, and here's the problem. What they're
00:06:11.360
going to do first is they'll open up this portal. So gun owners like you and I will be expected to go in
00:06:17.120
there and self report. And this is the dangerous part. Because, you know, they know about our AR-15s,
00:06:24.020
those were previously restricted and therefore registered. And like I've always said, the only
00:06:29.260
purpose for registration is confiscation. So those they're going to have, we have no choice,
00:06:34.940
they know we've got them. But almost everything else, they have no idea who's got what. So they
00:06:40.680
are completely reliant on you self reporting on yourself, and providing the government and law
00:06:47.060
enforcement, a list of the guns that you on that are banned, because they have no idea. And then
00:06:53.560
they've been very clear that not only is not every gun owner going to be compensated,
00:06:59.100
because the pod is capped at $742 million. But even if you participate, you will be ripped off.
00:07:06.960
So we had the guy who posted on CGN, which is a, you know, a Canadian firearms
00:07:12.240
forum, you know, like a social media forum. And he had detailed his experience, he got beaten up for
00:07:20.360
participating. And why'd you do it? And whatever. But to be honest, I'm actually grateful to, to have
00:07:25.460
his, you know, his take on it, right, right, and to see it from the inside. And he described exactly
00:07:30.940
what happened and how it went, described what the price was listed on the government website,
00:07:35.900
okay, here's what you're going to get for what you've got. He went through the process,
00:07:39.500
and he got less than half of that, he got completely ripped off. So, you know, at the end
00:07:44.720
of the day, if the goal here truly was that these firearms must be just so dangerous that,
00:07:51.700
you know, us Canadians who've owned them for decades, if not generations, shouldn't own them,
00:07:56.000
what they would do is they would just be honest. And they would say, look, okay, we're going to take
00:07:59.660
these guns, but we're going to provide you proper compensation. I mean, we don't want it anyways.
00:08:04.100
But that's what they would do. The fact that it is entirely dependent on you ratting on yourself
00:08:11.300
and providing the governmental list of your firearms. They're very clear that not everyone's
00:08:16.280
going to get paid. In fact, less than 1% of gun owners will get paid, right? And those who do get
00:08:21.220
paid will get ripped off. Like, I don't, I don't, I don't understand what they're doing here. I mean,
00:08:27.400
it's the worst PR exercise I've ever seen in my life. Yeah, we're six years almost into this mess.
00:08:35.700
And they are, I guess they're trying to create a sense of FOMO, the fear of missing out, because,
00:08:41.820
you know, now your firearms are illegal, and we've capped the compensation program. So you must rush,
00:08:49.440
you must be the first to turn your firearms in. And they're taking advantage of people
00:08:54.720
in a horrible economic climate, who are hard up for money, like who you and I were saying,
00:09:01.360
before we started recording, you know, of those 16 people who participated in this highly successful
00:09:07.660
buyback program. How many of them are widowers or widows who don't don't know what to do with
00:09:13.420
these firearms, they don't have a gun license. So they don't, they're here, just take them,
00:09:17.300
I don't want to be a criminal. And the other people are probably just hard up for cash,
00:09:21.240
thanks to how the liberals have mismanaged the economy. And so they've created this sense of,
00:09:28.780
well, they're going to get me, they're going to take my guns anyway, I guess I should maybe be the
00:09:33.520
first to turn them in, because when they do take them, I won't be compensated. It's just a very
00:09:39.440
sinister, manipulative thing the federal government is doing.
00:09:42.920
Oh, yeah. During the technical briefing for this, this pilot program, with the the public safety
00:09:50.120
officials, my partner at work, Rod Giltaka actually called it the Hunger Games for gun owners. Yeah,
00:09:56.300
we're going to be clamoring over each other and stepping on each other to try and be the first to
00:10:01.360
sign up in the hopes that you get something, anything at all. And my message to gun owners is,
00:10:06.700
look, we're all protected by that amnesty, regardless of where you live,
00:10:10.720
until at least the end of October 2026. And I would assume it will have to be extended again,
00:10:16.820
they're already floating, that they need to have a far longer trial period for this, right? They're
00:10:22.460
already floating that. And we know exactly why that is, because they know they're not actually
00:10:25.360
going to get it done. So my message is a lot can change between now and next October, all kinds of
00:10:31.640
things can happen. Politics is crazy. We know that over the last year, if not 10 years. So, you know,
00:10:37.700
just hold the line a little longer and see what happens. And don't forget, we're also still waiting
00:10:43.740
to hear back from the Supreme Court, if they're going to grant us leave to take our case before
00:10:49.480
them. So, you know, they say it's not over till the fat lady sings. And I would agree, it's definitely
00:10:55.540
not over yet. Well, and it I think the liberals have, it's pretty clear, they've never actually
00:11:02.260
talked to a gun owner, because for so many of us, it isn't about the compensation, they could pay us
00:11:08.560
for some of us, they could pay us more than our firearms are worth. And we still wouldn't turn the
00:11:12.980
darn things right to the state, because it's about freedom. It's about property rights. And it's about
00:11:19.040
not being scapegoated for the failures of the liberal government to address the crime rates in this
00:11:25.800
country. Yeah, absolutely. And you know, the the lies that they're not just telling to gun owners,
00:11:31.080
the general public sort of lay the groundwork for what this is going to look like. They're talking
00:11:36.600
about compensating for 152,000 firearms. We know there's over 97,000 AR-15s alone. Right. So it's
00:11:44.600
like, what do you mean only 152,000 guns? And they want people to think that because then when they get
00:11:50.520
maybe, I don't know, 70 or 80,000, they can be like, you know, this was a massive success. It was a
00:11:56.220
huge portion. 70% update. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But meanwhile, the true number, you know, we've
00:12:02.720
tried to do a bunch of backwork on this. Rod did some research with a bunch of industry partners
00:12:08.460
and looking, I mean, they've got the records from global affairs. If they wanted to be honest about
00:12:13.160
that number, they've got it, but it's well over 2 million guns. So would you think about that if they
00:12:19.040
end up collecting, let's say 70,000 guns from people who are afraid, you know, maybe they're AR-15
00:12:24.000
owners and they turn in their stuff because the government knows they've got them, right?
00:12:29.920
They'll get their 70,000 guns and call it some sort of, you know, it was sort of successful.
00:12:35.760
Meanwhile, the true number is well over 2 million guns and it's never going to happen.
00:12:41.380
You know, we've seen the games the liberals play when dealing with people who know a little
00:12:45.940
something about something. And I look at this from a journalistic point of view when our friend
00:12:51.120
from Caliber magazine tried to attend a press conference on the issue of the gun grab, he
00:12:58.860
was excluded. And, you know, you couldn't have somebody there who actually knows something
00:13:05.680
about the issue. The liberals limit their press conferences exclusively pretty well to the
00:13:11.800
mainstream media. And there's a reason for that is because they don't generally know anything
00:13:16.720
about anything on this issue. So they rely on the ignorance of the mainstream media and
00:13:23.660
the ignorance of the liberal voter. And I mean, ignorance in that you don't know what you're
00:13:28.280
talking about, not that you're just like a stupid person, but you just, you don't have
00:13:32.560
the knowledge. They rely on that. It's very predatory.
00:13:36.700
Oh, it is. It absolutely is. And they, they like having just their preferred media, their legacy
00:13:41.220
media wrapped around them. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the questions were all pre-vetted,
00:13:47.160
you know, if there's any questions at all. Normally it's just, you know, mainstream media
00:13:51.640
stories nowadays are basically just a verbatim repetition of what the minister said, right?
00:13:58.220
That, that is the story. There's no more investigating or, or whatever, but we haven't had a lot of media
00:14:04.140
the last few days on this issue. But, you know, I, again, I'll, I'll circle back to that audio
00:14:11.600
recording from earlier in the year when Gary thought, you know, nobody was listening and he
00:14:16.560
told the truth. I don't think it will be enforced, you know, again, unless you give that list to law
00:14:24.540
enforcement or to the, to the government of what firearms you own over and above your AR-15s,
00:14:30.460
they have no idea. So yeah, they know that we know that. And, uh, it'll be interesting to see
00:14:36.680
how this all plays out. You know, and more provinces and territories are joining the coalition of, uh,
00:14:43.340
defending firearms owners. We've seen, uh, strong moves out of Alberta. We're, we've seen Saskatchewan
00:14:49.540
get real creative with what you're doing over there. So, um, offering to store firearms, also, uh,
00:14:55.900
fund, uh, creating an agency to license people involved in the gun grab, and then not funding
00:15:01.260
that agency, which is just perfectly Scott Moe. And then, you know, we've seen the Yukon with
00:15:07.340
Curry Dixon saying that, uh, he will not be abiding by the federal government's attacks on law-abiding
00:15:14.340
gun owners. Um, and it, it's especially egregious to go around snatching guns. I mean, it is,
00:15:20.940
uh, it's always bad, but in places like Yukon, where there are so many people who are subsistence
00:15:26.100
hunters because of the cost of living. Yeah. Well, and it, you know, it's, it's interesting
00:15:31.440
because you, you would think that Carney being supposedly this more pragmatic guy, that he
00:15:36.500
would be moving away from these divisive Trudeau era policies. Right. Right. And nothing shows the
00:15:42.520
divide more when you've got provinces like Alberta, Saskatchewan, and the Yukon, um, you know,
00:15:48.200
vehemently opposing it, putting these roadblocks in place, really creative legislative moves to
00:15:53.400
protect their citizens. Like that should be the number one job of any government is to protect
00:15:58.360
their citizens. And that's exactly what they're doing. And then you've got back over here on the
00:16:03.240
other side of me, who's just, you know, willing to sell them out for a lousy 12 million bucks.
00:16:08.260
And I mean, that number to people like you and I is a huge number. I can't even begin to imagine
00:16:13.080
what I would do with $12 million, but to an entire province, that's nothing. It's peanuts.
00:16:18.340
And it shows how little their citizens are worth to them. Right. And the, you know, you've got the
00:16:24.240
in-between provinces where they, they don't really support the gun grab, but they're not going to put
00:16:28.780
any, um, extreme measures in place to oppose it like Ontario, where I am. Right. Doug Ford's been
00:16:33.800
vocal that he doesn't support it, but you know, he's one of those. He hasn't done anything either.
00:16:38.380
No, no. He's one of those careful fence setting guys. He's really loves his majority government
00:16:43.840
and doesn't want to, you know, put any toes in the water that might impact that. Um, but yeah,
00:16:50.200
you've got almost the entire country stacked up against it. Law enforcement's been very vocal
00:16:54.900
about, um, not supporting this. And then on the support side, all you've got is Quebec and the
00:17:01.300
anti-gun lobby groups. Like, I don't know if it's worth as many votes as they think it is. I think that,
00:17:07.180
um, gun control sponge has been, uh, run dry and people see the videos of the home invasions and
00:17:13.500
the shootings and all the crazy stuff going on. And I think the appetite for this stuff is, is it's
00:17:21.520
over. Like it's done. So, well, from your lips to God's ears. Now I was actually going to bring up
00:17:27.460
the, the crime in this country, because while I love the CCFR Facebook page and your social media
00:17:35.060
accounts, it is, uh, many days, uh, a stark accounting of the failure of liberal governments,
00:17:43.720
federal bail laws, uh, federal bail laws and progressive cities even to deal with the crime
00:17:50.460
in this country. Um, even just this morning, I see on the CCFR Facebook page, a woman killed a man
00:17:59.740
in self-defense in Calgary. She stabbed him now. She, which is basically having to engage in hand-to-hand
00:18:07.220
combat with a man in an apartment house. Yeah. This is a crazy story actually. And I mean, I,
00:18:16.160
you know, I think it is every woman or every, even every Canadian's worst nightmare to find
00:18:20.640
themselves in that situation. But this was the second time she was showing this guy, the apartment
00:18:24.960
and he attacked her and she was able to fend him off, uh, with a knife and yeah, she killed him. And I
00:18:33.300
mean, I, I would never want to be in her shoes. Like what a horrific thing to go through. I can only
00:18:38.720
imagine what is going on in her mind right now, but you know what? She's alive. And that's a lot more
00:18:45.000
than we can say for, unfortunately, a steady stream of video evidence that we've been putting out on our
00:18:51.340
social media. I, you know, they call us the gun lobby and I suppose that's true. We are. Um, but
00:18:57.060
at the same time, we're also the public safety lobby, you know, we're just average Canadians.
00:19:01.300
I want a safer country. I want my kids and my grandson to be safe and I want you to be safe.
00:19:06.120
And I want everybody, like I would, I want everybody to win. So yeah, it's just really frustrating
00:19:11.420
to see the government so solely focused on chasing around legal licensed gun owners who've done
00:19:19.440
nothing to warrant it. And this stuff's just going on. And I think, I don't know, I, I get it that we
00:19:26.280
are two sides of a coin. There is a divide between left and right, but there shouldn't be so much a
00:19:31.100
divide between just decency, you know, just decent moral, you know, I want all Canadians to be safe,
00:19:39.380
not just conservatives. Right. So, yeah. Uh, you know, we've got extortion on the rise,
00:19:45.580
which is, I think by and large, a gang related crime in the lower mainland of BC and in Brampton.
00:19:52.380
Um, and for me, I see the government wasting all these resources on the most law abiding group
00:20:02.160
of Canadian citizens. And I think if I were in policing, I would be so frustrated with the amount
00:20:09.840
of resources being spent in the wrong direction while you're catching and releasing criminals
00:20:15.820
on the same day so that they can go out and plague your community again. Like how demoralizing
00:20:22.500
for our police to see where the federal government is focusing public safety resources.
00:20:28.240
Well, and I think we saw during the last federal election campaign, you saw a variety of different,
00:20:34.020
um, police unions and police representatives coming out and not just speaking against liberal policy,
00:20:40.660
but actually endorsing the other side. And it's again, you know, when you've got all of these
00:20:46.040
different, uh, you know, people and organizations stacking up against the gun grab and wanting real
00:20:53.360
credible public safety measures. Um, you know, how is it possible that you've got Gary just,
00:21:00.360
you know, stumbling around Parliament Hill, you know, wanting to collect my competition rifle.
00:21:05.500
Like it would actually be hilarious if it wasn't so fricking tragic, you know?
00:21:10.660
Yeah. Yeah. And we, yeah, we've seen these guys not even know the laws that firearms owners have to
00:21:16.680
follow, like standing up in the house of commons and not understanding that, you know, we, we have to
00:21:22.960
have our conjugal partners, whatever that means, sign off on our gun licenses that, you know,
00:21:30.140
we already have a red flag laws in place in this country. Um, I think if you're going to be the
00:21:37.920
public safety minister, scapegoating an entire population of about two and a half million Canadians
00:21:44.720
at sport shooting is the national sport. If you're looking at the numbers, um, they should at least
00:21:51.200
have to subject themselves to the RPAL course. They really should.
00:21:54.360
Yeah. I mean, even like when he, I get it, you know, not everybody knows everything. You can't be
00:22:00.420
an expert in everything. So when he got the position as public safety minister, there's an
00:22:04.900
already existing staff within the department of public safety. And some of them are very talented.
00:22:10.480
They've been there for a very long time. They may have even served back in the day under the Harper
00:22:15.100
government. They, they know their stuff. A simple one pager could have gone a long way for him.
00:22:22.140
Right. And to think not only did his department not prepare him with the most basic of knowledge
00:22:29.060
on this topic, he didn't bother to look into it himself. I mean, you know, I've been working at
00:22:34.860
the CCFR since our inception, but I can remember every job I've ever applied for, you know, okay,
00:22:40.980
you've got the job. Great. You get in there. And the very first thing you got to do is learn the ropes,
00:22:46.100
learn the most basic stuff so that you can at least answer, answer simple questions, especially
00:22:51.580
in a workplace like his, where you have a televised question period every single day. Like what it,
00:22:59.920
to me, it just shows the unserious nature of this government, extremely partisan, you know, like I get it.
00:23:07.020
We're not going to agree on all policies, but just so blindly partisan that they are willing,
00:23:13.340
you're right, to completely scapegoat millions of good people who've done nothing to deserve it.
00:23:18.940
And for what? Like I, I don't, you know, gun control was not even in the top 25 issues in
00:23:27.140
the last election, but public safety was. So, right. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. You would think
00:23:33.780
that you would just brief yourself on your, one of your most expensive flagship policies at public
00:23:39.940
safety. I don't think that's too much to ask of the minister. Now I want to, before I let you go,
00:23:45.940
cause we've been at her for 22 minutes. Although I could talk to you all day. I know the same thing.
00:23:52.140
We could hang out all day and still have lots to talk about, but I have other things to do. And so
00:23:56.860
do you. I want to talk to you about the Toronto sportsman show. I think it's the 78th year this
00:24:03.180
year. Um, tell us about the CCFR's role there. So we are very proud to once again, sponsor the
00:24:10.160
hunting hall. So if you've ever been to the Toronto sportsman show, there's something there for
00:24:13.960
everyone. It's not just, just, you know, guns and hunting. There's five different massive
00:24:19.840
halls filled with all kinds of goodies, hunting, fishing, ATVs, canoes, uh, kayaks, hiking, lots
00:24:28.120
of fun stuff for the kids. Um, so we sponsored the entire hunting hall and we welcome all the
00:24:33.340
other exhibitors who come and exhibit there this year. We've actually partnered with strike
00:24:37.960
sportsman and we've got a really cool, very free attraction for all the people who come
00:24:44.260
through the Toronto sportsman show. And that's our crazy CCFR laser range. So come on by challenge
00:24:50.780
me to, to a dual, you know, uh, test the kids ability. It's totally free. We would never dream
00:24:57.520
of charging anybody for it. It is so much fun. You can shoot the laser pistols. We've got laser
00:25:04.160
AR 15s, all the fun stuff and totally free. The kids love it. So yeah, it'll be a, be a lot of fun.
00:25:11.740
So come on by the Toronto sportsman show. Rod and I will be there throughout the show. I think he's
00:25:16.480
doing, um, a presentation up on the stage on the Saturday as well, but yeah, we're just, we're really
00:25:21.960
proud to play a big role at the Toronto sportsman show and just continue to support and promote that
00:25:28.900
heritage across the country. Awesome. Now you hinted at the CCFR's legal challenges, uh, fighting on
00:25:36.300
behalf of law-abiding Canadian firearms owners. Uh, that stuff is expensive, expensive and time
00:25:44.140
consuming. So how do people get involved in the fight? Well, we can always use the help. You can
00:25:49.940
find us at CCFR.ca. And, you know, to be honest, if you're looking just to do a little more than send
00:25:56.200
a few bucks our way, which of course we're, we're always happy to have, and we're very grateful,
00:26:00.140
but if you're looking to volunteer, we're always looking for people to come out, help us out. Even
00:26:04.720
at events like the Toronto sportsman show, you want to come out and work the laser range. There's no
00:26:09.340
better job. Um, send an email to volunteer at CCFR.ca. And of course, stay tuned to, uh, you know,
00:26:16.940
we have a bi-weekly podcast and TV show, CCFR radio and CCFR radio on the air. It's basically like a
00:26:23.940
quick half hour rundown of everything going on. So it is very difficult to keep up to date
00:26:29.840
with the ever-changing, uh, cycle of news on the gun file. So a lot of people have come to rely on
00:26:35.880
it. Like I just need the truth and I need to know what's going on. I watch CCFR radio. So
00:26:40.740
yeah, just bi-weekly everywhere you listen to your regular podcasts.
00:26:44.840
Yeah. It's an incredible asset, even for somebody like me who has to pay attention to these things in
00:26:49.260
the course of their work. I'm like, well, what's Tracy saying about this? And don't forget,
00:26:53.080
you guys have one of the best merch stores in the business. Yeah, we do go to CCFR.ca. You can
00:26:58.920
find the merch shop on there. We also have an app. It's totally free to download and it takes you
00:27:03.740
straight into the, uh, to the store. Um, there's all kinds of deals in there. We've sort of got like
00:27:09.300
a little bargain cave, a discount center in there as well. Uh, stuff as low as 10 bucks. So check it
00:27:15.320
out. We'll be adding more to that as we go. So, uh, bookmark that link and just keep going back and
00:27:20.940
checking. And, uh, yeah, all of that goes into the big pot that helps us feel this machine. That
00:27:27.220
is the CCFR. Awesome. Tracy, thanks so much for coming on the show and thanks so much for all the
00:27:32.100
hard work you do on behalf of families, just like mine. Thanks for covering it. And we will see you
00:27:37.900
soon. Awesome. Well, the last portion of the show, I always turn over to you because without you,
00:27:49.600
there's no rebel news. I say it every week. It's probably getting redundant for a bunch of you,
00:27:53.900
but we don't take any money from the federal government. And how could we ever hold the
00:27:59.180
federal government to account? If we did, we would just be repeaters and not reporters. And
00:28:04.640
that's why I care about what you think about the work that we do. I do read the comments on YouTube.
00:28:09.880
I do read the comments over on rumble, not just on my work, but on all the work that we do at rebel
00:28:15.320
news. And I give you my email address right now. If you've got comments about the show today,
00:28:20.360
put gun show letters in the subject line and send it to me, Sheila at rebel news.com that comes right to
00:28:27.180
me. And who knows? You might just see your comments read on air. So last week I had good
00:28:34.300
friend of rebel news, Tom Harris on the show. He's from the international climate science
00:28:38.800
coalition, Canada. And we were talking about how all of Canada's climate policy seems to be built on
00:28:48.160
a bed of shifting sand that the data that they're using to draft these policies, you know, where they
00:28:56.560
say, Oh, Canada is warming at two times the global rate as if you could even tell that.
00:29:03.880
But everywhere seems to be warming at two times the global rate. You could just warming it two times
00:29:09.480
the global rate, put that into your Google search and see which countries come up. It's Canada, but
00:29:14.540
it's all of them. So we can't all be warming at two times the global rate. It's almost like it's all
00:29:19.300
made up. Well, Tom and one of his colleagues sort of pointed this out. And the thing is,
00:29:27.080
the federal government knows this. They've had this pointed out to them. They just don't care.
00:29:32.300
It's almost as though this sort of thing isn't about climate at all, but like wealth transfer
00:29:36.620
and possibly control of everything you do. You know, not based on science, tell me to follow the
00:29:43.420
science and I do and they're like, Oh, not not that science, Sheila. That's inconvenient.
00:29:48.060
Um, well, I got a letter from Peter who says, Hi, Sheila, just watched the January 7th show.
00:29:57.200
Great exposing what BS the climate change narrative is, but I feel this is no longer necessary. Well,
00:30:02.740
I think it is because we're still subject to it in Canada. So I'm going to keep talking about it as
00:30:07.100
long as we have these horrible policies here. There's one important point missed entirely.
00:30:11.600
That is the great news from the leader of the climate cult, their highest ranking priest,
00:30:16.300
William Gates Jr. himself. Well, it could be Al Gore too. So a lot of oracles, Adelphi,
00:30:23.340
if you know what I mean in this cult. On October 28th, 2025, Bill released an essay entitled
00:30:29.520
Three Tough Truths About Climate, posting it on his own website. He's done a few interviews saying
00:30:34.220
the same too. Here's the first sentences of Bill Gates essay. There's a doomsday view of climate change
00:30:39.740
that goes like this. In a few decades, cataclysmic climate change will decimate civilization. The
00:30:45.340
evidence is all around us. Just look at all the heat waves and storms caused by rising global
00:30:49.460
temperatures. Nothing matters more than limiting the rise in temperature. Fortunately for all of us,
00:30:55.300
this view is wrong. This is Bill Gates saying this. Although climate change will have serious
00:31:00.760
consequences, particularly for people in the poorest countries. I'm not so sure about that. They don't
00:31:05.620
have extreme weather swings, right? If you're equatorial, most of the poor countries of the
00:31:10.120
world are equatorial. So they don't have wild swings between winter and summer like we do. I mean,
00:31:16.400
we even have wild temperature swings in the winter. Last week was like minus 30. Today it's plus six.
00:31:23.320
There are real challenges. Like how do you build a road when you're dealing with like frost heaves
00:31:29.480
with those wild temperature changes? Anyway, Bill Gates writes, it will not lead to humanity's demise.
00:31:38.440
People will be able to live and thrive in most places on earth for the foreseeable future.
00:31:44.640
So the high priest or the highest priest of the climate cult has admitted that there's no
00:31:48.880
cataclysmic climate change. It will not lead to humanity's demise and the doomsday view is wrong.
00:31:53.520
Terrific news for all. Yes, it is. But and I mean, that's great for the United States. I mean,
00:32:00.320
Trump has already thought this for a long time. You can see them totally disconnecting from the
00:32:05.700
climate madness. But that's not how it is in Canada. You know, we still have our upstream
00:32:12.140
carbon tax on its way. To get a pipeline built, we'll have to pay 600% more in upstream industrial
00:32:19.800
carbon taxes, which of course, get passed along to the consumer in all kinds of different and hidden
00:32:25.260
ways. And it acts as a scarecrow for international investment here. Why would you come here and pay
00:32:30.320
an upstream carbon tax to build a pipeline when you can just pay off the local Algerian warlord
00:32:35.420
to get things done? So that's why I continue to talk about it.
00:32:41.600
The toughest evidence to refute in a court is a confession. The essay is a confession of the
00:32:47.500
climate hoax from Bill Gates himself. What a smoking gun icing on the cake of the mountain of
00:32:51.400
hard evidence we already have. So I feel pointing to the confession instead of the evidence or at least
00:32:57.180
ahead of the evidence would be far better than the evidence alone. I like to point out the evidence
00:33:02.520
though, because it shows how they rejected the evidence is so Orwellian that they deny the things
00:33:10.280
that they see and hear and read all because they are true, like to some extent, part of a doomsday cult.
00:33:21.340
The good thing about a doomsday cult is that a lot of people leave after the first, second, and third
00:33:27.020
doomsday has never come. They sort of leave the cult. But that also leaves the people staying in the cult the
00:33:33.780
most radicalized. They're really distilled. Those are the ones that you can't rescue. Those are the
00:33:39.060
ones who quite literally drink the Kool-Aid in a jungle and 900th of them die. You know what I mean?
00:33:54.180
So I feel pointing out the confession instead of the evidence, or at least ahead of the evidence,
00:33:58.600
would be far better than the evidence alone. The cult members have brushed off the hard
00:34:02.260
data for several decades. Why would they start listening now? Well, that's also true.
00:34:06.700
Far more effective is to have the guru they worship let them down easy, making the truth
00:34:11.980
more palatable. We won this time. Why not take Bill Gates' white flag confession for a few victory
00:34:17.080
laps? Well, let's, we can do all of these things. Maybe they can move on and dream up the next
00:34:21.960
injustice to pull their blue hair out over. Anyway, all the best. Love the rebel. Peter.
00:34:28.120
Peter, I absolutely see your point. We should be taking some victory laps.
00:34:31.720
Um, but I just don't think those victory laps are to be had quite yet in Canada. You know,
00:34:37.740
we have our premier, my premier here in Alberta talking about emissions targets. Why? Why?
00:34:44.780
I care about real pollution. I care about particulate, like actual things in the air.
00:34:49.880
But do I care about CO2? Not even in the slightest. Um, I only care about it insofar as it is used as a
00:34:59.000
cudgel to make the rest of us poorer and ruin our worst or our best industries. So, um, I'm not ready.
00:35:07.180
I, I, I do see this as a win in the battle, but I think the war is not quite yet won.
00:35:14.920
Um, but yes, it is very hopeful. We got to get Jeff Bezos to quit funding, uh, busy body organizations
00:35:23.920
here in Canada to block pipelines from Alberta because he is. And I'm going to do a story on that
00:35:31.560
because I don't think a lot of people know it. So this is your tip rebel news subscribers,
00:35:36.000
but what I'm working on next. Anyway, that's the show for today. Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:35:40.640
I'll see everybody back here in the same time. And I believe in the same place next week.
00:35:44.360
And as always, don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think.
