Rebel News Podcast - SHEILA GUNN REID ｜ Trudeau's 'climate czar' is the losingest loser in cabinet

00:00:00.000 Justin Trudeau's environment minister becomes one of the losingest losers in all of Ottawa 0.96

00:00:05.620 and you just love to see it. I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed and you're watching The Gunn Show.

00:00:10.780 Justin Trudeau's radical environment minister Stephen Gilbeau has been handed a series of court

00:00:35.240 losses these days starting first with the $20,000 judgment against him for blocking Rebel News

00:00:42.980 online. He hasn't paid that judgment yet but building on that loss he lost in court

00:00:51.900 in a challenge of the No More Pipelines Bill C-69. The province of Alberta was an intervener in

00:01:02.420 that court action against Stephen Gilbeau and the federal government and the law was just very

00:01:10.580 recently ruled unconstitutional. However Stephen Gilbeau remains undeterred completely ignoring

00:01:17.900 the ruling of the court saying he's going to proceed on with the regulations in that law in some new

00:01:25.060 iteration because he thinks he's apparently above the law and then building on those past two losses

00:01:35.160 the federal single-use plastics ban was just overturned in court and again Stephen Gilbeau not

00:01:43.880 one to be deterred by common sense says that he is going to charge forward with a law that rules that

00:01:53.300 safe, safe, sterile plastic is somehow toxic classified as deadly as mercury under Canadian law. Yeah

00:02:08.320 he's an absolute well loser based on his track record. So today my guest and I are going to talk 0.98

00:02:16.360 about that. My guest today is Robbie Picard from Oil Sands Strong and we're also going to talk

00:02:23.180 about the Buffy St. Marie scandal wherein CBC committed an actual act of journalism and uncovered

00:02:32.860 the fact that the music icon has been masquerading as Indigenous for at least half a century. It is

00:02:44.640 fascinating and since Robbie is Indigenous and he and I have very recently become obsessed with the story

00:02:50.720 of the pretendian bluffy St. Marie I thought you know what let's talk about that too. So take a listen to

00:03:00.080 this conversation Robbie and I had earlier today.

00:03:09.760 So joining me now is my good friend Robbie Picard. I have a few things I want to talk to Robbie about but

00:03:15.760 first thing I want to talk to him about is the courts overturning Stephen Gilbeau and Justin Trudeau's

00:03:24.900 ban on single-use plastics. I think this is a big win for the industry and really embarrassing

00:03:33.700 for Justin Trudeau because this was for some reason one of his flagship policies.

00:03:41.380 I think that Justin Trudeau should take a walk in the snow and reconsider you know what his legacy truly

00:03:53.260 will be. A ban on plastics is the most insane thing I have ever seen in my entire life and the so-called woke

00:04:02.120 citizens that somehow thinking think banning plastic is going to make the world a better place

00:04:07.660 because some poor turtle had a straw up its nose. It's insane. Plastic is every part of our lives is essential.

00:04:17.200 It was essential during COVID. It's essential every single day and to ban it completely

00:04:24.260 in a country that needs it more than ever is insane and I'm very glad that Justin Trudeau is you know

00:04:31.740 eating crow right now but it also goes to show you how he has zero value for anybody in Canada but his

00:04:40.900 I don't know his ideological views of the world which he just got proven that with plastic is not toxic

00:04:49.760 it's essential. You can't say that plastic's toxic when it keeps you alive in a hospital like

00:04:55.380 plastic's essential. Can we recycle better? Can we have less pollution? Can we you know instead of

00:05:01.080 shipping our recycling to the Philippines to be recycled there? Can we handle it better? Sure

00:05:06.240 but no Justin Trudeau I'm super happy this happened to him to be honest. It's really embarrassing and now

00:05:14.400 Stephen Gilbeau not one to be corrected by the courts easily has said that despite this that he will

00:05:26.120 continue on with his plastic span that he's going to take the ruling from the court and see what he can

00:05:33.220 do to continue on with his obviously now it's been ruled illegal plastics ban he did the same thing

00:05:41.000 with his no more pipelines law being overturned the federal court overturned it and instead of saying

00:05:49.520 oops my bad let's just move on from this he continues to say you know what we're still going to bring this

00:05:55.100 we've just got to figure out a better way to do it. I think when it comes to Stephen Gilbeau

00:06:06.480 I don't think I've ever seen anybody less reasonable in politics instead of coming up with a plan

00:06:16.820 that you know I'm all for less pollution I mean but you know here's the truth and people don't want to

00:06:22.680 talk about the truth. If you go to the Dominican Republic and you go to Haiti there are two 0.97

00:06:27.220 different countries one country has tons and tons of garbage and all kinds of stuff going down the

00:06:33.840 river system and the other country does not. One has money one does not. If we want to make the world

00:06:39.500 a better place for plastics in the ocean maybe help Haiti and other countries have better waste

00:06:47.340 management. There's not tons and tons of plastic flowing here in Fort McMurray our rivers are pretty

00:06:53.340 clean. Every year in spring all the people go together and they pick up all the garbage and we

00:07:00.320 try really hard to make our city a better cleaner place. I am against the plastic ban I'm also against

00:07:07.520 let's talk about cities that have the plastic bag ban. How many times do you go for groceries and you

00:07:13.840 forget a bag and you have to buy a buck for all the time and then those bags end up back in the

00:07:22.740 eventually for garbage as well. I would I wouldn't even be opposed if there was some sort of charge

00:07:29.180 to plastic and I went back into the landfill to improve plastic management and recycling actual

00:07:36.140 recycling a certain amount of garbage can be buried it can be turned into golf courses and ski hills

00:07:42.620 let's just be smarter how we manage our waste but a ban this makes no sense. Yeah we can be smarter

00:07:49.080 about it like they are in Burnaby where they constantly protest the Trans Mountain pipeline you

00:07:54.000 know what they have there to deal with their plastics an incinerator which uses the heat produced by burning

00:08:02.000 garbage for electricity there are ways that we can deal with our garbage I mean it is a stored inert

00:08:09.180 petrochemical and you get to use it for its intended purpose and then you get to burn it so you get to

00:08:15.400 use it for a benefit twice seems like a good idea to me but I think the crux of your argument is that

00:08:24.680 worrying about pollution is a first world problem and the richer the society the better you are at

00:08:32.480 dealing with actual pollution so maybe if we want to deal with pollution we shouldn't bring in policies

00:08:39.120 like the carbon tax that make people poorer. A hundred percent yeah I'm so happy to see the carbon

00:08:46.500 tax now it for a while there in our advocacy realm it was almost taboo to talk about the carbon tax

00:08:52.740 even for us yeah you can't talk about the carbon tax you're not supposed to talk about the carbon tax

00:08:57.020 except the carbon tax I I'm just so sick and tired of being called a polluter because I'm trying to

00:09:06.800 keep my house warm when it's cold I I find it hilarious like I had a conversation with someone

00:09:13.000 the other day and they were talking how we could heat giant buildings burning wood pellets and I find

00:09:21.120 that funny because they like they're acting like this is a new idea it's not a new idea burning wood

00:09:25.940 like I worked on a farm when I was growing up and we had a wood furnace and we have an oil furnace and

00:09:34.320 we prefer the wood because it heated the house better and we cut our old all our own wood down for the

00:09:40.380 winter which a home could do a small home you can't do that for a sports complex and this is what has

00:09:47.300 been pitched like there's so many things that are coming out of Ottawa these days with these so-called

00:09:54.760 intellectuals theories but not tested theories like this could work if this has worked and they

00:10:00.100 get the engineering node and they do the specs but practical it doesn't work natural gas like I was

00:10:06.660 watching Daniel Smith talk about like it's hilarious like I'm gonna I'm gonna give up my natural gas for

00:10:12.680 a reverse air conditioner wow I mean this is cutting-edge technology that like a heat pump is just a

00:10:18.320 reverse air conditioner that's all it is it's like when in the middle of winter or sorry the middle

00:10:23.100 of summer the hot air comes out and the cold air comes in you reverse it and then you got a heater

00:10:27.600 that's not going to work when it's minus 25 it's not going to work at all and that is their big all

00:10:33.640 this millions and millions of dollars that is what they're coming up with a reverse air conditioner

00:10:38.000 but here in Alberta and Saskatchewan we've had natural gas in our homes for years we're already

00:10:44.460 green cutting natural gas is the easiest most efficient cleanest way to heat our homes and we

00:10:50.780 already have it sure better windows no problem at all improving some of these houses no problem but

00:10:57.840 you know even as I have an older home my home my home was built with two by six construction and it's

00:11:03.140 it's very energy efficient it was built in 1982 after my other house burnt down I bought a different

00:11:08.980 house and I'm in the process of renovating it's taking forever but my point is is that my house

00:11:14.540 is actually has really good installation so I've updated a couple windows I've made a few changes

00:11:19.160 to my furnace and I have an energy efficient home some of these new homes that they're building so

00:11:23.840 called energy efficient homes are so airtight that they cause mass mold and pollution like in internal

00:11:29.680 pollution so my whole point of my rant is is that I don't trust Justin Trudeau to tell me how to live

00:11:37.420 my life and never mind heat my home I'm not a polluter because I'm trying to keep my home warm

00:11:43.420 with natural gas so this carbon tax is taxing the poorest of the poor and telling them hey we're going

00:11:51.240 to give you 136 bucks in six months or four months or whatever and it does absolutely nothing to help

00:11:59.200 but and the other part which blows my mind is that they don't understand like by the time the cow

00:12:06.840 gets it's so many steps driving the cow to the pasture let the cow eat in the pasture and then

00:12:13.800 if you keep the cow for winter you got to there's paneling of the hay and the grain and then the cow

00:12:18.780 has to go to the slaughterhouse and then get butchered and then get processed and then come to the dinner

00:12:23.980 plate every one of those steps now is being taxed more than it's already taxed before so like I don't

00:12:30.760 think they understand the amount of pain it's causing and that is why grocery store prices are going

00:12:36.840 roof handling and transportation has gone up yeah we saw that um I think it was tiff macklem

00:12:44.400 uh from the bank of canada say that this is adding uh an enormous amount uh to everyday inflation and

00:12:53.520 kudos to the uh government of saskatchewan in their efforts to frankly in an act of civil disobedience

00:13:03.000 scott mo is technically breaking the law by withholding uh the carbon tax on sask energy

00:13:11.720 um sask energy this is one of the benefits which there are very very few to having a crown corporation

00:13:18.660 deal with your energy is that sask energy being wholly owned and operated by the province of saskatchewan

00:13:25.780 collects the carbon tax and the province of saskatchewan is not turning it over to the feds

00:13:32.860 in an effort to fight for fat for tax fairness because parts of this country are getting a carbon

00:13:39.500 tax carve out because they are electorally fragile for the liberals for example atlantic canada is

00:13:48.300 starting to lose faith in the liberals so that liberal stronghold is getting a carbon tax carve out

00:13:54.740 saskatchewan isn't alberta isn't and uh scott mo just introduced uh a new law it's called uh the

00:14:03.440 carbon tax fairness for families act which will be the um the tool by which they are withholding

00:14:11.700 submitting sask energy's carbon tax to the federal government uh it's uh i'm happy to see saskatchewan

00:14:18.360 using this tool we should be using everything we can to fight for just equal treatment with other

00:14:24.260 canadians a hundred percent i admire the western premiers particularly scott mo i admire all of them

00:14:32.480 frankly that they're saying like this is ridiculous uh to tax people to just live but i think the deeper

00:14:40.160 reason that trudeau's fighting for the karma tax it's nothing to do with making the world better

00:14:45.680 it's because he needs that money because without that tax money that i mean it's it's insane amount

00:14:52.280 of money they've collected uh how can he go on with this insane debt written budget that he has done to

00:14:59.960 our country like i don't i've never in my life encountered a a more narcissistic time in our

00:15:09.980 politics i mean you have this bizarre group of people at the head of our government that they

00:15:17.180 don't they don't seem to have any common sense it's all based on theories of this and theories of that

00:15:22.680 and feelings and not practicality and i'm glad that atlantic canada is waking up i'm glad that ontario

00:15:29.540 is waking up and i really hope that when pierre poly of his prime minister that he keeps his words

00:15:35.200 not like the gsd when the liberals said they would get rid of it when krecha was in there and this

00:15:40.960 carbon tax is completely gone people have a right to exist and taxing air not oxygen the co2 like

00:15:51.480 it's i'm breathing in air and i'm letting out co2 it's air right like i'm breathing in oxygen i'm like

00:15:58.300 it's air and it's become okay to do that it i i'm just blown away by that i mean more people need

00:16:05.340 to say no you cannot tax us for and then for living and if there is better technologies coming out

00:16:11.860 uh then get those technology technologies out first don't why are you why are we penalizing

00:16:18.040 everybody for existing i think i found something really funny the other day i was in calgary

00:16:21.580 and they're talking about this carbon capture oh carbon capture carbon capture and then

00:16:26.440 finally someone said you know that we're already doing all this carbon capture with the boreal

00:16:30.780 forest and we're actually going to start crediting canada for the boreal forest which means that we

00:16:35.760 are not even carbon neutral we're carbon negative but yet we got onto this argument that somehow we

00:16:41.900 have to capture all our carbon or capture all our carbon and the argument that i was making 10 years

00:16:47.840 ago like i'm really starting to believe there's no such thing as new ideas like i was at the grocery

00:16:52.240 store at sobeys and they gave me a paper bag and she's like oh my god this is so innovative

00:16:56.840 paper bags i was coloring on paper bags when i was three years old and they got rid of paper bags

00:17:02.720 for plastic bags because they were cutting out too many trees for paper bags right like it's insane 0.99

00:17:08.520 like i don't know we're in an interesting thing but no carbon tax we need to stop the stupid 0.95

00:17:14.620 carbon tax thank you scott moe yeah i mean and if it were intended to stop pollution then why did 0.98

00:17:22.080 they exempt the most dirty if you care about those sorts of things i don't but the liberals tell me

00:17:28.920 they do they exempted home heating oil which is like adjacent to bunker fuel which is some of the

00:17:34.960 dirtiest fuel there is they exempted that while penalizing people who use clean burning natural gas

00:17:41.940 it's definitely not about making the world a cleaner better place um robbie i want to talk to you

00:17:50.940 about something that you and i have very recently become a little bit obsessed about and the reason

00:17:56.460 i want to have you on is because you are indigenous and i just want to make sure that i am uh sampling

00:18:01.620 outside my own bias as they say um let's talk about buffy saint marie

00:18:06.560 because um you and i are consumed by the fact that apparently buffy saint marie is just your average

00:18:17.820 italian lady named uh beverly santa maria and she is not nor has she ever been indigenous she was

00:18:28.180 definitely not 60s scooped in her 20s and um she has traded on an indigenous identity that she

00:18:38.820 absolutely doesn't have for the better part of 60 years to the point where she threatened her own 1.00

00:18:46.380 family with accusations of pedophilia to shut them up if they ever did tell the truth because her family

00:18:55.460 the real heroes in this story are such good people she knew she couldn't buy them off with money she

00:19:00.540 had to do something much much worse robbie um tell me about your opinions on this canadian icon

00:19:08.660 cbc darling living a lifetime of lies you know i went down this rabbit hole uh yeah we did

00:19:18.040 um i have to admit i've always liked buffy saint marie but truthfully after doing all this research

00:19:26.480 in the last few days i realized i really didn't know much about buffy saint marie i didn't really

00:19:30.500 listen to her music i knew maybe one or two songs and i don't candidly she's successful but she's also

00:19:36.640 not successful she's had a fair bit of a good career but it's not like she's taylor swift or madonna

00:19:42.600 it's not like she had massive sold out concerts or anything like that okay so monetizing as far as

00:19:49.440 record sales and that type of thing i don't think she's even as big as jan arden frankly so oh i think

00:19:55.240 she might be particularly in the united states but you also have to realize she is part and parcel

00:20:01.660 a creation of the cbc and as it turns out probably not even canadian born in the states to american parents

00:20:09.580 definitely not from the pie pot first nation in saskatchewan uh i think a lot of her success

00:20:17.260 financial and otherwise uh comes by way of trading on an identity she just didn't have and because of

00:20:24.340 that she took opportunities and financial rewards from real indigenous women who just couldn't live up 1.00

00:20:32.040 to this you know idealized version of the indigenous woman that buffy saint marie represents

00:20:38.080 well see and that's the part that that i think that is is the is the worst part and the most ethically

00:20:44.040 sad part of what she's done here so it's not like she's a massive pop star sure she had some success and

00:20:50.400 she made some money but i would make the argument that the majority of her money came off of her fake 1.00

00:20:55.420 indigenous status yes and and being in that space so i i and i'll have to admit like there's a lot of

00:21:02.420 talent like i watched i watched her on sesame street recently and i was just like some of the stuff like

00:21:07.120 when she's the scene about how the wind blows it's so captivating but the truth of the matter is and

00:21:12.900 this is the part that is really hard to swallow there's there's so many indigenous people that 1.00

00:21:19.760 had a tough time by the deal with racism had to deal with issues internally that could have used

00:21:24.960 the award or the shot or the attention she took and all the attention she got was slowly based on

00:21:33.760 her indigenous today so what i was getting at earlier about i don't believe she's a massive

00:21:38.380 success on her own without that thing and i think like even the award that she recently got in the

00:21:44.820 the alberta arts museum and you know it's all it's all based on government type things that artists would

00:21:50.980 get i bet you she's gotten millions of dollars of government grants or the money from from indigenous

00:21:56.820 sources like it goes really deep and i think it is two things that i'm kind of perplexed by i'm perplexed by

00:22:03.220 the amount of people that are they're so wrapped in her lie and they don't want to believe what that

00:22:09.560 what she has done and how she's actually taken space from people who needed it but also i mean

00:22:16.160 this is where it's going to be very interesting for the future this is probably the best thing that

00:22:21.780 ever happened to her being discovered because i believe she's a narcissist if you look closely

00:22:27.000 and you look at her face she's always got kind of like this duper's delight that little smirk

00:22:32.240 whenever she tells the lie um i went back and watched and watched and watched and i'm like

00:22:37.040 and i look closer and closer and you could see her makeup and you could and then when people

00:22:42.320 questioned her she would ramble this and ramble that and there was not a real truth to it and i i

00:22:49.380 think that that's the sad part but even if you look back at the the adult adoption um i would even make

00:22:55.960 an argument that uh she probably helped the pie pot first nation simply because a star of her level 1.00

00:23:03.280 gives them attention which gives them some purpose as well but i don't give a shit about them i don't 0.83

00:23:09.760 care about that i just think that two things are like she just got another emmy like i i don't know 0.87

00:23:14.720 how that happens like for a documentary on her life a documentary on her life yeah i i don't get it and

00:23:23.700 and when you the hardest part too is there's there's a lot like her family like she she had a perfect

00:23:31.140 family she had a perfect upbringing um you know uh i i i'm surprised that people are okay with the way

00:23:39.420 she just rid off her family like that for this identity so i think she's the next level narcissist 0.90

00:23:44.500 i i don't think you'll hear a lot from her again i think she'll kind of just fade away now um i don't

00:23:50.060 i and it'll be interesting how it plays out but in history she this is probably good for her because

00:23:56.440 now she's cemented as one of the biggest like i mean forget her music she should get an academy award 1.00

00:24:04.380 she's better than meryl streep i mean to play that role for 60 years

00:24:09.300 well done buffy but it's a shame for the people she took the spotlight from and i think that that 1.00

00:24:17.560 is the the saddest part i'm surprised that trudeau hasn't commented on this and and that she's not

00:24:22.200 kicked out of the order of canada yet i mean it's and she's not even canadian i mean what does

00:24:27.220 say about canadians yeah that's the thing i what bothers me about the buffy saint marie story

00:24:34.840 is just that buffy took whatever she wanted all along the way and she never cared she took a 1.00

00:24:42.040 canadian citizenship she took awards and accolades that uh were only meant for canadians or indigenous

00:24:50.340 canadians uh she had herself adopted into the pie pot first nation and i think in part because

00:24:59.020 they thought we're having this woman returned to us who was taken from us by the government and i think 0.89

00:25:08.020 in retrospect if they had known she was just like a random white liar from just outside of boston 0.99

00:25:17.020 would they have taken her and adopted her as one of their own i don't think so but now the the lie

00:25:23.860 has been told so many times how how do they now give her the boot i mean there are stories about her 0.97

00:25:29.900 taking other women's husbands um it's just there's she took everything that she ever wanted and she 1.00

00:25:41.880 didn't care that she was taking it from someone else and i think that's the most atrocious part

00:25:46.440 in all of this for me it's just i just don't know how you can do that and then even now continue to

00:25:53.180 lie she knew the cbc hit piece was coming out i don't want to call it a hit piece it was actually

00:25:57.700 a really good piece of journalism they went and dug up her birth certificate she said didn't exist and

00:26:03.460 they went and contacted the saskatchewan government to fact check her on her lies when she said

00:26:09.120 oh uh i was born in the craven hospital um and the saskatchewan government said yeah there there

00:26:16.160 wasn't actually even a craven hospital that year that you say you were born in a craven hospital

00:26:21.100 she said uh my birth records were destroyed and they said actually no we don't have any fires or

00:26:27.280 floods destroying birth records in those years like um so cbc did actually a really good piece of

00:26:33.300 journalism on her and even though she knew it was coming out and even though after all these years

00:26:38.540 her birth family which is her real family would be speaking out she still continues to lie she just

00:26:48.180 won't be honest and i that's a special level as you say of narcissism yeah i i think and you can

00:26:56.880 there's there's stuff too like her we found her in a rabbit hole digging we found uh we did her we we 0.75

00:27:02.640 found her son and and there's proof that he was talking about this way before the documentary came

00:27:08.940 out i mean he was he knew about it um so yeah but i guess if you're buffy what do you do now 0.78

00:27:16.280 do you admit it do you say hey sorry or do you just kind of go down in history is this i don't know

00:27:22.160 it's a it's a next level of nar and but i think she's a cruel person um very cruel and um probably 1.00

00:27:30.980 dangerous and uh and i don't know like that but you got to give her credit i mean she i mean she

00:27:39.280 one of the posts i was watching she was talking about the soprano as well tony soprano ain't got

00:27:44.400 nothing on her she's she's she's a soprano i mean she like literally and figuratively like she 0.89

00:27:51.120 she showed a level of something that's sad but it also in some ways it makes me sad for canada it

00:27:56.960 makes me sad for indigenous people to yeah that hunger to have a hero especially back then you 1.00

00:28:03.240 know what i mean and buffy was a hero and she provided like someone can make it they can do

00:28:09.000 something and and you know to have to have another pretend person i think that's sad yeah i agree with

00:28:16.540 you and really at the end of the day this could really just all be cleared up with 23 and me um

00:28:21.280 we know that buffy has lots of biological family out there um including her niece who is finally 0.99

00:28:29.160 speaking up for her father um so but her son released his dna test and it showed um i found

00:28:37.240 something about that too her son did it already and he was like he's a he's indigenous because of the

00:28:41.960 father but uh yeah yeah but on his mom's he's related to his grandparents that's how he knew

00:28:47.900 so if he already did yeah it got posted a while ago so this i think this is why it's been kind of

00:28:53.960 brewing for a little while so well robbie i'm i'm glad we could talk about that because you are such a

00:29:00.580 strong advocate for indigenous people and and and as you say back when buffy became prominent there 1.00

00:29:07.920 really wasn't anybody else and she just attached herself and stole opportunities from indigenous

00:29:15.700 people and i i don't know i think it's sad because she became an idealized version of an indigenous

00:29:21.260 woman that real indigenous woman struggled to live up to and and uh i can't imagine what that did to 0.99

00:29:27.660 their psyche no and i think it's depressed like actually i met a friend of mine lauren so we were

00:29:33.140 having coffee and he knows her and yeah he was he was devastated by it it hit him hard because it

00:29:38.700 was like because they believed in buffy so um but i guess some good point comes out i think there is a 0.98

00:29:45.300 hunger for indigenous culture and hopefully where she you know gets her old ass out of the space uh 1.00

00:29:50.880 put some people in there maybe there's a chance for other people to shine a little bit you know and 0.92

00:29:56.660 uh i think you know that i mean she's something buffy i mean i like that you gotta say like that

00:30:03.680 is a next level so and i don't i'm curious what is she doing in hawaii but i mean she's 81 i mean

00:30:09.420 yeah she won she rode the lie to the very end she probably has 10 years left on this earth and she's 0.74

00:30:17.660 just going to finish it up in obscurity and wealth in hawaii yeah i mean you think about it there'll

00:30:23.500 probably be a full movie done on her there'll be a full movie because she had such a journey and 0.57

00:30:30.340 so i mean like if anything this is probably good for buffy because it kind of took her it take i would

00:30:37.120 say she was a b celebrity even at her height that's what i'm talking about record sales right 1.00

00:30:41.900 like i mean it's not she didn't it's not like she i've never seen her in concert i've seen you

00:30:48.080 know jan arden concert it's like i mean i i would say i i put jan arden kind of here at kind of a

00:30:54.000 good local she'll sell out centennial hall she'll you know 2 000 people come see her right constantly

00:30:59.660 but you know taylor swift and she'll change the local economy so i would say buffy buffy was jan 0.99

00:31:06.460 arden level right and talented but she's you know she but how buffy made her money was the cbc 1.00

00:31:14.420 specials that type of stuff she's not no rita mcneil rita mcneil would be bigger than buffy 1.00

00:31:19.300 i mean rita mcneil would pack a house but not taylor swift level but she was so she's like a 1.00

00:31:25.120 canadian and bluntly here's the part where canadian should be pissed right buffy would what would 1.00

00:31:30.840 buffy be without canada long term yeah she had she won an oscar for her song she did some stuff i'm

00:31:37.580 not i'm not taking anything from her american thing but i don't i don't see i didn't i don't remember

00:31:42.520 her selling out concerts so it was sort of the arts world the government funded stuff so that's

00:31:49.500 my take on it can con canadian content she rode that right to the top she really did um robbie 0.94

00:31:58.600 i could talk to you all day about buffy saint marie and all of the things that we uncovered in our own

00:32:03.680 after hours facebook messenger investigation chats that we had um but tell us just here

00:33:26.840 your viewer feedback unlike the mainstream media and i say this every week i actually care about

00:33:32.260 what you think about the work that we're doing here at rebel news because without you there's no

00:33:36.880 rebel news because we're not funded by justin trudeau so we rely on your support to keep the lights on

00:33:43.020 and to keep us going it's the reason i give you my email address it's sheila at rebelnews.com if you've

00:33:50.360 got something to say about the work that i do put gun show letters in the subject line so i know what's

00:33:55.820 about the show instead of some other thing i said on one of the other on-camera appearances that i do

00:34:04.000 every single day every single week and uh who knows you might just get your letter read on air but

00:34:11.220 also if you are watching us on one of the other platforms on youtube or rumble if you're sitting

00:34:18.180 through an ad and watching the free version of the show thanks for that it's also how we pay the bills

00:34:23.680 but leave a comment in the comment section because sometimes i'll go looking over there

00:34:30.420 do you see what you guys are saying about us so today's letter actually comes from the email inbox

00:34:38.020 and it is on last week's show with my friend chris sims from the canadian taxpayers federation

00:34:47.600 gosh i'm so glad she's in albertan and i'm so glad we're friends we have a remarkable amount of

00:34:54.860 things in common um and she's always such a wonderful guest on the show and i sometimes i wish

00:35:00.000 i could hit record before and after um we do the show because we have such a robust conversation

00:35:06.500 before and after about you know things that are not they're in the conservative woman realm

00:35:11.860 but they're not you know exactly in the taxpayers federation realm so we try to keep the topic the

00:35:19.920 show topics to you know the things relating to the organization she's on the show to represent and

00:35:26.720 not you know our theories about bigfoot and uh 1960s era um china by china i also mean like

00:35:40.280 like porcelain not not the country um anyway uh this letter comes from jerry sheila thanks for

00:35:48.900 your discussion with chris sims on modern journalism yeah for those of you who don't know chris sims

00:35:54.220 in her before life was a journalist uh actually with sun news when ezra levant was there and so

00:36:02.060 she comes at this through a journalist lens but also through a taxpayer advocacy lens about why

00:36:09.980 we should not be funding journalism and the crisis it's causing in trust with journalists jerry says

00:36:16.740 over my 20 plus years in the newspaper business my goal was always i don't make the morals i just tell

00:36:23.540 stories while our american government doesn't officially bribe the media it offers a lot of

00:36:31.700 perks to those outlets that spout the right talking points that is true sometimes they get contracts for

00:36:37.180 advertising uh jerry's obviously an american looking upon canada with horror um i hope that you in the

00:36:43.980 united states don't go down the same road that we have with funding your media because um

00:36:49.540 apparently the funding becomes never ending as we've learned in the most recent fiscal update

00:36:55.500 justin trudeau has not just extended the mail media bailout past 2027 but increase the media bailout

00:37:03.480 um and by the way 2027 that's after the next election so you know exactly what that bailout is

00:37:09.300 designed to do for his electoral prospects anyways let's keep going

00:37:14.060 in the process they keep the folks ignorant both of our countries need a change citizen jerry

00:37:22.100 jerry jerry jerry jerry from your lips to god's ears well everybody that's the show for tonight thank

00:37:28.900 you so much for tuning in i'll see everybody back here in the same time and in the same place next

00:37:33.300 week and as always don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think

00:37:37.520 you

00:37:52.760 so

00:37:58.440 We'll be right back.
