SHEILA GUNN REID | The Gunn Show from the road: B.C.'s Conservative majority, a Saskatchewan change room scandal and a veteran attacked for defending poppy sellers
00:08:07.160I think Premier Lauren Dirksen has a big job ahead of him trying to hold together that conservative coalition in BC because it really is a conservative coalition.
00:08:22.020But I don't think that they are going to install Carolyn Elliott as the premier.
00:08:27.840Lauren Dirksen did a great job, won an incredible campaign.
00:08:33.140He brought together a party that was falling apart in front of us just two months ago and took it over the finish line to a very serious majority in British Columbia, something not seen since 1933, I believe.
00:08:51.860So I think, but of course, never underestimate the power of conservatives to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. But I think they would be wise to keep Lauren Dirksen on. He said he's going to stay on. The party seems to like him. The people seem to like him. And he's just an excessively normal dude.
00:09:12.340And I think that's what you need when you are going to do some big things.
00:09:18.320You sort of need them sold to you by a normal, calm person.
00:09:22.680You see Scott Moe do this all the time.
00:09:24.900And that's my hope for British Columbia.
00:09:27.840But do I think Carolyn Elliott is going to be installed as premier?
00:09:36.580Be Vigilant says, what people elected Dirksen? Was it brown, black, gay, et cetera, or was it0.98
00:09:46.180whites? If it was the whites, then govern for the whites. The NDP get elected by the blacks,0.99
00:09:50.960browns, gays, and they governed for them. You may disagree, but for the most part,0.97
00:09:55.260this is what happens. This is how the NDP liberals get to govern us. I don't think so.
00:10:00.960I think actually the minority communities in British Columbia, including the Sikhs, are absolutely fed up with SOGI.
00:10:11.160I think that whether you are a minority landowner or a white landowner, it doesn't matter if DRIPA is nuking your property value and making your property unsellable.
00:10:26.120I think Lauren Dirksen has to govern for all British Columbians.0.54
00:10:31.020And dividing people down lines like this is very unhelpful to the party.
00:10:38.060And dividing people into silos like that is what the Liberals do.
00:10:45.860Conservatives don't do that, and they shouldn't do that.
00:11:20.240All right, next one. Tammy Marks on the NDP, I suppose. They were the worst BC government by a country mile, and EB was an absolutely unhinged nutcase. That before the far left policies, the disabling of property rights, and of course, a completely broken healthcare system. Yes. Yes. And his big Trump, Trump, boogeyman Trump, it didn't work this time.0.98
00:11:49.540And I think Mark Carney might need to pay attention to that because that old trope, I think it's no longer working.
00:12:01.980um and lauren dirksen has a big huge job ahead of him and um i think it's my advice that he
00:12:15.280needs to move quickly because he needs to show people in four years from now that he made a lot
00:12:23.060of drastic changes but those drastic changes would be from craziness back to normalcy um and
00:12:30.080the sky didn't fall and everything was fine and maybe life even got a little bit better
00:12:33.700or maybe even a little bit more affordable, school got better and healthcare wait lines
00:12:38.160maybe didn't get better but didn't get terribly worse. He's got to do those things like today
00:12:47.620so that the unions and the media don't have the ability to fear monger. Now they will try but
00:12:56.240people will look around them and say they took soji out of school and guess what my kid got
00:13:03.140better at math because they taught them real things all right next one uh darby 421 says
00:13:14.000it is amazing to see exactly how bad a provincial governing party has to be to get canadians0.94
00:13:19.380able to think enough to realize they have terrible leaders all canadian leaders are terrible0.98
00:13:24.820I'm not sure but Canadians lack the mental ability to notice and your country sinks0.96
00:13:30.540and you get poorer and Canadians wonder why they are getting poorer it's all there for Canadians0.96
00:13:35.080to see it is too bad Canadians lack the ability to notice well I actually disagree with you
00:13:40.840because British Columbians did notice and I don't think all governing leaders are bad
00:13:47.060for example I think the Yukon premier is doing some excellent things up there with regard to
00:13:54.400property rights. On the gun file, I think Scott Moe is working hard in Saskatchewan to
00:14:01.440fight back against federal government policies. I think he is slightly too amenable to Mark Carney.
00:14:09.520Daniel Smith is doing some amazing things here in Alberta to get DEI out of government institutions
00:14:15.340to rope in the authority of the professional organization. She's protecting our girls.
00:14:24.400from boys stealing their opportunities and protecting women's sports and running budgetary1.00
00:14:31.340surpluses. Now, that is not to say that I think that she's got spending under control. She could
00:14:36.480spend a lot less money. Very business-friendly environment here. So I don't think they're all
00:14:41.700bad. She, like Scott Moe, I think is too amenable as well to Mark Carney, but I don't think they're
00:14:48.660all bad. Now, I do think David Eby was bad, and British Columbians did notice. And there are some
00:14:57.140parts of this country where people just continue to vote for crazy, like Toronto. But let's not
00:15:04.160lump all Canadians in with that, shall we? All right. Tellerd666 says,
00:15:13.400but are not B.C. conservatives simply annoying libs?
00:15:23.280You know, like B.C. United was a coalition of free market-ish liberals and conservatives.
00:15:35.380And then before that, the BC Liberal Party was actually considered sort of a right of center, not conservative, but a right of center coalition. It was the only potentially electable right of center party.
00:15:55.940Now, I would say it was a center party, not a right of center party, but that's just my personal assessment, because it was for a long time thought that you could not get elected under a conservative banner in British Columbia, and yet the entire interior was voting conservative federally.
00:16:19.240So I don't think they're annoying libs.
00:16:21.540I think there are some very good conservatives in that party.
00:16:23.920I think actually the majority of them are very good conservatives, and if there are some liberal holdovers, I think there are enough conservatives to keep them in check.
00:16:41.880it's my friend my real life best friend as i say on the live stream lise merle following up on the
00:16:49.100story of a saskatchewan recreation center where a man is alleged to have indecently exposed himself
00:16:59.040to women in the women's change room she even caught him on camera going in to do it you see
00:17:07.500It is alleged that he goes in to the change room at the pool under the guise of being trans, uses the women's washroom, changes in front of everybody, and then leaves, gets his fix, and then leaves.
00:17:31.680And Lisa's just been like a dog with a bone on this story.
00:17:35.440She even waited in her van until she caught him in the act going in and then coming back out.
00:17:41.380And now one of the young ladies involved in the story, a 12-year-old girl, the pool, has summoned her to talk to four adults about the incident.
00:17:54.540And Mama Bear involved was having none of it.
00:22:22.100If you can do this in a place like Regina, now Regina is a government town, so you have government workers there, so it tends to be a little bit more lefty.
00:22:36.000But Saskatchewan is a deeply common-sense conservative place.
00:22:40.660And if this can happen in Saskatchewan, what hope is there for Toronto?
00:25:50.160Why wouldn't you want to cooperate with the media
00:25:55.240in terms of getting answers to this horrific event?
00:26:01.400They don't have to give me their video footage, but I found it odd that he didn't even say whether or not they shared it with the Hamilton Police Service.
00:28:16.980workplace colleague threw him under the bus. And so did CBC. And he wasn't wrong.
00:28:28.040He got fired for being right. Razier says, imagine serving your country and this is what you get in
00:28:35.480return. Now I do know that Captain Kunkel does have a GoFundMe. I would direct people to find
00:28:44.360that, um, perhaps we'll link it in the show notes. Um, he's a deserving man who intervened
00:28:55.040to help some children who were doing their civic duty, selling poppies to benefit veterans. And
00:29:07.840And yes, the man served his country and then comes home and is drastically injured because he was doing the right thing in a so-called peaceful country called Canada.
00:29:22.580Doug says, what is just awful is no one in the restaurant stepped in to help this man.
00:31:41.960I thought I would check in on the ladies of the live stream.1.00
00:31:45.840As you folks know, I host the daily live stream of Rebel News with a rotating cast of characters.
00:31:53.540And Lise, if you're watching this, thank you for filling in, pulling extra shifts for me while I was gone and the rest of the team stepping up and picking up a shift so that we could keep the live stream going until I get back in my chair.
00:32:06.860And I miss it. I'm not going to lie. I miss it.
00:32:08.700I love digesting the news with you guys every day and it's fun because it's informal and
00:32:15.640sometimes you get my less than diplomatic reactions let's just say so the ladies of
00:32:26.880the live stream Tamera Leach and Lise Merle were reacting to some announcements out of Alberta
00:32:32.420where the province is stripping DEI, as I noted earlier,
00:32:40.300out of our provincial institutions and ministries.
00:32:45.100And then they're redrawing some electoral boundaries.
00:32:53.360And the NDP leader, Nahid Menchie, is having none of it,
00:33:00.280even though they did this under rachel notley not all those many years ago but these people
00:33:08.480just think we're hard of remembering i didn't just get here in the heat okay so take a listen
00:33:14.120the boundary commission report is out the premier swore up and down last spring that she was only
00:33:22.020making minor changes and she would accept justice miller's recommendation number five which
00:33:27.380You specifically said, don't touch anything south of Airdrie.
00:40:40.160Well, that's very nice. She was very brave. Very brave lady. Very nice lady, too. I would be just full of vengeance and bitterness towards the people who had done these things to me.
00:40:54.580That's not to say that Tamara isn't determined and maybe even a little mad and annoyed,
00:40:59.680but she doesn't have the Old Testament vengeance drive that I would feel towards the people who had done these things to me.
