00:00:00.000 Oh, hey, everybody, it's our annual letters to your favorite rebels episode.
00:00:19.320 I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Gunn Show.
00:00:30.000 You know, there are a couple of times a year where I turn the show completely over to you.
00:00:43.500 I sort of make you the guests.
00:00:45.360 Some of those times are when I'm too busy traveling or with my other responsibilities at the company to book a guest for the show.
00:00:52.420 And so, as I said, I make you guys the guests.
00:00:54.960 I ask for your letters, your questions, your comments, your story ideas, your viewer feedback, and then I just read them on air.
00:01:02.300 And we also do this at Christmastime.
00:01:04.620 It's the annual letters to rebels episode where you send us your letters, your end of the year comments, and we read them.
00:01:15.460 And I'm reading them quite literally sight unseen.
00:01:19.380 I've just opened up the place where we're storing them at work, and I'm just going to find my name, click it, and read it.
00:01:27.180 Okay?
00:01:28.480 So let's get right into it.
00:01:30.160 By the way, I hope you like the background behind me.
00:01:35.120 I just thought I'd switch it up for Christmas.
00:01:37.040 Last year, I think I used a picture of my backyard, but it's quite literally a frozen hellscape out there.
00:01:42.620 Um, it's like minus 30, and I love you guys.
00:01:45.800 I do.
00:01:46.880 But no, I'm not going out there in knee-deep snow to try to find something worth posting.
00:01:54.620 So you're getting this background here.
00:01:58.040 All right, let's get into it.
00:02:00.040 It is from Kat.
00:02:02.920 And Kat writes,
00:02:03.600 I just wanted to send a message to all of those who stood up to the lies and power grabs in this past few decades, especially the last four years, many of whom have lost their income, family, and friends, many who literally lost loved ones and those who have been shunned and now have to stand on the sidelines as the ones who shunned them are dying with no way to say goodbye.
00:02:23.400 I want all the people to know that in their strength and honorable acts, we will be even more steadfast in a battle we did not start.
00:02:30.740 We are more than any puppet considered, and we still have a lot to be celebrated in this season.
00:02:40.320 This is a tough year, and one where many are weary.
00:02:43.480 Prayers are in abundance, and peace is around the corner.
00:02:46.740 God bless, and keep safe.
00:02:48.820 Merry Christmas to all.
00:02:49.800 You know what, Kat?
00:02:50.600 What a good use of your letters to the Rebels.
00:02:54.680 You got us to read a message on behalf of you to your fellow Canadians.
00:03:00.740 Many of whom are struggling, thanks to government and government overreach, so generally just government.
00:03:09.220 Angela Rayner writes,
00:03:11.760 Dear Canada, as we approach this holiday season, my wish for you is a renewed sense of hope, freedom, and unity.
00:03:17.660 I think it's just around the corner.
00:03:19.640 May the spirit of Christmas bring warmth and joy to every home, and may the new year usher in a time of healing and prosperity for all.
00:03:26.840 In these times of uncertainty, let us remember the strength and resilience that define us as a nation.
00:03:33.820 May we find common ground and work together to build a brighter future where every voice is heard and every individual feels valued and free.
00:03:43.560 Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a new year filled with peace, love, and freedom.
00:03:47.520 With heartfelt wishes, Angela.
00:03:50.860 Again, Angela, good use of the letters to Rebels to send a message to your fellow Canadians.
00:03:58.640 Colleen Hurley sends me a letter, but I think this one is probably directed at Avi.
00:04:06.740 Australia needs to have a new government.
00:04:08.300 Who do you think would be our best Christian leader to lead us out of this mess?
00:04:12.500 Look, I'm not a theocrat.
00:04:15.980 I don't need a political leader.
00:04:18.540 And I know, again, this is for Australia.
00:04:21.500 But the same rings true for Canada, the United States, any free country around the world.
00:04:26.560 I believe in religious freedom.
00:04:28.580 I don't need a government to have the same religion as me.
00:04:32.640 I need a government that leaves me alone to have my religion.
00:04:35.940 And right now, we don't have a government that respects religious liberty in this country.
00:04:42.460 Laura Chambers writes,
00:04:45.400 Why have you not done any investigative journalism surrounding the fact that all these politicians who support the World Economic Forum and the UN, etc., are selling us out to the new world order when government is treason, plain and simply?
00:05:00.320 Laura, I'm not sure if you're aware, but I think we are the journalists in this country who do the most investigation into the World Economic Forum, the players behind it.
00:05:13.340 We go to visit the World Economic Forum every single year, which has been an elected oligarch safe place for a very long time until the rebels started showing up.
00:05:24.020 I have gone to UN climate change conferences because I realized that the United Nations framework on climate change, the UNFCC, is just another way to control your life using the scary threat of climate change to do that.
00:05:45.040 And so, I mean, I'm not sure what more you want us to do.
00:05:50.420 You know, like, we're the ones telling you that Mark Carney, who is supposed to be the heir apparent to Justin Trudeau, works not only with the World Economic Forum, but also with the United Nations.
00:06:02.260 And his role in the United Nations is to debank and de-insure major oil and gas projects so that even if they do jump through all the hurdles, which is damn near impossible to get approval in Justin Trudeau's Canada for a major oil and gas project.
00:06:16.940 But even if they do get it done, he'll make sure they don't get financing for it or insurance for it if they do get financing for it.
00:06:25.060 See what I mean?
00:06:26.040 So, I mean, if you're a regular viewer of my show, you know that I routinely have people like Tom Harris from the International Climate Science Coalition.
00:06:38.480 He's always banging the drum about the crazy people at the United Nations and how they're trying to control your life.
00:06:43.420 Michelle Sterling from Friends of Science, likewise.
00:06:47.380 And as I said, we go to Davos every single year.
00:06:50.480 I've been to climate change conferences put up by the UN in Katowice, Poland, which was a fun one because Poland was not having any of it.
00:07:02.340 They put the conference next door to the Coal Miners Museum and then had the Coal Miners Marching Band do the opening ceremonies.
00:07:11.920 In Bonn, Germany.
00:07:13.780 In Morocco.
00:07:14.780 So, I've gone to a few of these things and I will continue to go to them.
00:07:21.720 I haven't gone to them in a couple of years because they've been having them in some of the less free places of the world, like Azerbaijan. 1.00
00:07:31.220 And then prior to that, it was in Egypt and I think also in the United Arab Emirates.
00:07:39.260 And while I admire the Emirates, it is a benevolent tyranny and they don't like prickly, unauthorized journalists there.
00:07:47.640 And so we just didn't think it was worth the risk.
00:07:50.280 But, I mean, who else is doing that stuff?
00:07:54.460 Next one is from Jim Piggott.
00:07:57.000 Hope I'm saying that right, Jim.
00:07:59.220 And he writes,
00:07:59.940 My wife and I look straight down at the Trans Mountain Westridge Marine Terminal from our sunroom.
00:08:06.080 There has been, of course, lots of opposition to the TMX pipeline in Burnaby and North Vancouver.
00:08:11.580 If you think my wife and I would object to TMX because marine tanker loading is right in our view, you'd be wrong.
00:08:19.700 Thank you very much.
00:08:21.200 We are happy to see ships sailing out of the port of Vancouver, reaching international markets for Canadian oil.
00:08:27.580 My question is, what are the markets for this oil and do we get international pricing, not the discounted ones for shipments to the US?
00:08:35.760 Because I have an unfortunate bit of information to tell you.
00:08:45.900 Much of that oil is headed offshore and then looping right back around.
00:08:51.880 It's going to the refineries, I think, in Cherry Point, Washington, to be refined there and then quite likely sold back to you.
00:09:00.420 So that's the unfortunate thing is that we're still getting not exactly global market price for our oil there.
00:09:09.200 But just opening that pipeline alone has resulted in an uptick in our GDP.
00:09:16.760 And that pipeline, way over budget, way over the timeline, would have been built for, what was it, $8 billion in the private sector if Justin Trudeau would just get the lunatics out of the way.
00:09:29.020 But those lunatics are his voting base.
00:09:32.660 So then he nationalized the pipeline for some reason.
00:09:37.060 Instead of just doing his job.
00:09:39.880 And that blew through the budget.
00:09:41.860 It's way over $30 billion.
00:09:43.960 It's way over time.
00:09:46.580 But still, an incredible net benefit to the country.
00:09:51.800 Our GDP went up just by opening one pipeline.
00:09:54.020 Now imagine, imagine how wealthy we could be if all those other pipelines we wanted to build went ahead.
00:10:02.380 You know, Northern Gateway through to Smithers and Kitimat.
00:10:07.180 If Energy East was allowed to go ahead.
00:10:10.000 Keystone XL.
00:10:11.660 I mean, we should be just spider webbing pipelines out everywhere.
00:10:15.240 Drill, baby, drill. 1.00
00:10:16.980 Alberta jobs.
00:10:19.080 Affordable energy for the rest of, well, North America and hopefully the world.
00:10:25.400 And, you know, a prosperity across the country because of that.
00:10:31.220 But instead, people but not us Westerners elected Justin Trudeau.
00:10:39.340 Very sad.
00:10:39.800 But, Jim, I'm so glad to hear that you are enjoying seeing those beautiful tankers taking away all that black gold. 0.73
00:10:49.380 Because that's just, when you see it sail away, you see the money coming in.
00:10:55.040 And that's, Canadians need that right now.
00:10:58.060 It's in spite of itself and the cost overruns.
00:11:02.940 That pipeline is a good news story.
00:11:04.780 It just never had to be that bad.
00:11:06.460 Could have been built years ago and it could have been just one of many sister pipelines making Canadians rich.
00:11:12.420 Instead, this country elected Justin Trudeau.
00:11:17.060 Hopefully that changes.
00:11:18.240 You know what?
00:11:18.880 It's going to change.
00:11:20.140 I'm so hopeful that it's going to change.
00:11:24.380 I can't even imagine what Polyev would have to do to destroy his chances in the next election.
00:11:32.960 I don't even know.
00:11:34.060 Um, I don't think he will.
00:11:36.820 I mean, he's been around Ottawa a very long time and he really hasn't done anything stupid.
00:11:42.200 Like, there's no scandals, no skeletons.
00:11:44.480 Um, and he keeps his family so close to him.
00:11:47.140 Right?
00:11:48.360 Next one from Fred.
00:11:50.480 How do we find out what qualifications are mandatory for municipal staff?
00:11:53.900 I don't think there are any.
00:11:54.920 Clerk and treasurer.
00:11:58.060 My wife and I got served with a no trespass notice back in July for just holding the mayor accountable for his word as he was lying.
00:12:05.080 Okay, I don't know where you are and I don't know who your mayor is.
00:12:07.800 I did speak out of turn, but by standing up, they sent my wife and I a no trespass notice to both of us.
00:12:13.360 My wife said nothing and they falsely accused her.
00:12:16.020 They even sent copies to the cops.
00:12:17.300 It's a criminal offense to submit false info to the cops.
00:12:20.980 A criminal offense.
00:12:21.820 We have 11 affidavits proving counsel was negligent and we have a recording.
00:12:25.080 Can you help us?
00:12:26.120 I don't know anything about your situation, but I can answer your first question.
00:12:31.260 What qualifications are mandatory for municipal staff?
00:12:34.440 It varies by municipality, but it could be as few as zero.
00:12:38.360 If you've had to deal with a bureaucrat, you know that they are immensely unqualified for their jobs, usually.
00:12:47.580 But my friend David Menzies is very much on the case of government overreach at the municipal level.
00:13:01.280 Silencing people who show up.
00:13:02.880 We saw this with Nillie Kaplan-Mirth.
00:13:04.920 Remember her?
00:13:05.520 She was silencing people at the school board meetings. 0.68
00:13:08.320 Concerned parents who showed up to address issues regarding their children at the school.
00:13:14.040 And she would cut their microphones. 0.87
00:13:16.020 So, I mean, as conservatives, this is the one thing I will say.
00:13:20.640 Without knowing your situation, we do not pay close enough attention to municipal politics.
00:13:25.260 If you wonder why the kids are being transed at school, ask yourself when was the last time you paid attention to a school board election.
00:13:31.840 If you are wondering why your town has a climate strategy that will cost billions of dollars, ask yourself when was the last time you paid attention to the local council election?
00:13:45.460 When was the last time you tuned in to a city council meeting?
00:13:49.040 As conservatives, we're thinking too macro sometimes.
00:13:53.760 We're always worried about Trudeau, and we should be.
00:13:56.220 And we're worried about, especially here in Alberta, are the NDP going to come back?
00:14:00.820 Or the poltergeist of the NDP hiding in the closets?
00:14:05.340 Of course, those things matter, but the politics that are closest to you are the ones that affect you first.
00:14:14.720 The good news is, those are the ones that we can change.
00:14:17.300 It's easy to flip a school board if you get organized and get ready for it.
00:14:23.880 And the same thing with municipal politics.
00:14:26.620 We just, as conservatives, and I say small-c conservatives, not great at putting up candidates.
00:14:31.600 You know, Calgary has the most unpopular mayor, I think, in the country.
00:14:41.460 And that's saying something.
00:14:44.700 But who, who do you see stepping up to replace her in the next election? 0.74
00:14:51.980 Dan McLean, are you listening?
00:14:54.580 Anyway, let's keep going.
00:14:57.760 It's from Alan Sislagi.
00:15:00.020 I hope I'm saying that right.
00:15:00.940 After trying to push Chrystia Freeland under the proverbial bus, 1.00
00:15:04.640 Trudeau himself got metaphorically stabbed where it hurts most, his political cojones.
00:15:11.260 Thanks to Trump, second en chef after Justin, in clownery and his trolling,
00:15:16.300 Freeland's resignation letter, dripping with disdain for Trudeau's waning leadership,
00:15:21.300 was the coup de grace for his flailing government.
00:15:24.700 It echoed Caesar's fateful moment.
00:15:27.960 A2, Chrystia.
00:15:29.060 Except in this case, Caesar didn't need an entire Senate to do him in.
00:15:35.160 As we watched the circus wrap in its final act, one can only marvel at how far we've fallen.
00:15:41.160 The sunny ways have long since turned stormy.
00:15:43.520 Canadians are left with an effed up economy, a fragile social fabric, and a country more divided than ever.
00:15:48.700 Let this be a warning.
00:15:49.900 If you support this kind of political clown show or worse, demand an encore.
00:15:55.020 Beware of the dire consequences.
00:15:58.380 But he says clown sequences.
00:16:00.220 The stage is set for change.
00:16:01.800 Let's hope the next act isn't another tragic comedy.
00:16:05.540 I've been saying this all week.
00:16:07.560 Do not treat Chrystia Freeland like she is the hero here.
00:16:11.420 Somebody else described this to me this way.
00:16:17.240 If a snake eats the fox that ate your chickens, do you hug the snake?
00:16:22.700 Like, is the snake the good guy?
00:16:24.760 I don't think so.
00:16:25.960 I'm not hugging any snake.
00:16:27.860 And I think the snake is Freeland here.
00:16:29.800 Freeland deserved 100% to be fired for her fiscal management at finance. 1.00
00:16:38.380 100%.
00:16:39.060 However, that's the fiscal mismanagement that Trudeau wanted her to do. 0.94
00:16:44.140 So she was being a loyal soldier.
00:16:47.860 Her ego is what hurt her.
00:16:51.620 Or was the breaking point, I should say.
00:16:54.120 She didn't care about, you know, as you say, the undoing social fabric, the healthcare system that would sooner euthanize you than treat you. 0.99
00:17:01.860 So crime, drugs, homelessness, people getting scurvy because they can't afford fresh vegetables, out-of-control immigration, fentanyl, all these things. 0.99
00:17:17.000 The fact that now their solution to housing is, have you considered living in a shack in your parents' backyard?
00:17:22.280 I saw that ad from the Liberals this week.
00:17:24.740 I mean, they're this far from helping you finance a van down by the river.
00:17:29.800 For Freeland, that was not her breaking point.
00:17:31.820 None of those things were her breaking point.
00:17:35.240 She didn't care what happened to us. 0.98
00:17:36.780 It was the indignity of being removed from finance, but also being expected to stick her name on the disaster of a fall fiscal update. 0.99
00:17:48.180 And so her pride was hurt, and so she stuck Trudeau where it hurt right back in his pride.
00:17:57.480 And she did not resign as an MP, which means she thinks she's going to survive this mess, and Trudeau is not.
00:18:06.340 Because could you be an MP for Trudeau after this mess?
00:18:11.620 She thinks there's going to be no Trudeau.
00:18:13.600 I think she's positioning herself to run for leader.
00:18:18.220 That's what I think.
00:18:19.560 And God help me.
00:18:21.840 Teresa says,
00:18:22.880 I want to ask Santa for something important for Christmas.
00:18:25.780 Can we please stop glorifying people who insist on flaunting what they do with the parts of their body that are being covered by their bathing suit?
00:18:31.600 Oh, from your lips to God's ears, Teresa.
00:18:35.220 I want my grandchildren to enjoy their innocence and not be forced to absorb this growing need to share sexual preference with anyone and everyone.
00:18:41.640 Whether they are interested or not.
00:18:44.640 Thank you, Santa.
00:18:46.360 Dear Santa, yes, thank you.
00:18:48.600 I agree.
00:18:50.140 We, long ago, used to worry about what was appropriate for children.
00:18:55.360 Like, that's what the ratings are at movies.
00:18:58.740 We've decided that there are things that are PG, general, you know, PG-13.
00:19:08.000 So, we decided a long time ago that there is a level of exposure that is appropriate for children.
00:19:18.460 And society understood this for years.
00:19:21.080 But not anymore.
00:19:22.160 And there are people out there who make their sexual preferences their entire identity.
00:19:27.960 Why?
00:19:28.600 You don't have anything else to offer to the world?
00:19:31.700 Is that it?
00:19:33.160 You think that that's what makes you special?
00:19:35.320 Well, I have some theories about this stuff.
00:19:40.000 And I think it has to do with the erasing God from the culture.
00:19:45.500 You know, people seem to be chasing specialness.
00:19:50.160 And for some people, they confuse specialness with weirdness.
00:19:53.900 And so, that's why everybody wants to be neurodivergent.
00:19:59.620 And it's just like, no, you're quirky.
00:20:01.220 That's about it.
00:20:01.920 Or you're socially awkward.
00:20:03.240 You're not neurodivergent.
00:20:05.980 That's why everybody wants to be in the LGBTQ plus AI something, something, something or other group. 0.95
00:20:13.840 They want to be in the special group.
00:20:16.820 And we used to understand that there was something that made us special, that was endowed to us by our creator.
00:20:28.740 We didn't pursue it from outside.
00:20:31.560 We knew that it lived within us.
00:20:33.580 Because we understood deeply in our fiber that we were special by virtue of being created in the image of God.
00:20:45.940 And then we removed God from the culture so people have no understanding of just how special they are.
00:20:51.260 That they're unique individuals whom God so loved that we were created to reflect him.
00:21:01.620 And once that was gone, the void was filled by something awful.
00:21:08.600 A pursuit of specialness at all costs, whatever it might look like.
00:21:14.060 And boy, it looks crazy.
00:21:15.160 Next one is from Scott.
00:21:16.940 Dear Rebel reporter, keep up the great work.
00:21:18.720 I hope one day to be able to give you a big hug when we are finally free from the tyrant Trudeau.
00:21:23.080 Merry Christmas.
00:21:24.100 I think there's going to be lots of hugs all across the country.
00:21:27.540 Alex says, hi, Sheila.
00:21:28.880 Rebel News does a much better job of reporting the news than the CBC.
00:21:32.920 I call the CBC the Canadian Brainwashing Corporation.
00:21:35.680 I was wondering if you could do some more stories on the COVID vaccines.
00:21:38.860 I never got any of the toxic poison jabs myself because I have critical thinking skills.
00:21:43.820 Tucker Carlson said he never got them either because he knew the people pushing them were lying frauds.
00:21:48.320 I wrote the following on Facebook many times.
00:21:50.120 The COVID jab is a slow kill depopulation bioweapon injection.
00:21:54.720 Very few news outlets report on the so-called vaccines with the exception of LifeSite News.
00:21:59.640 Someday the truth will be revealed because, as Wise King Solomon wrote, a lie has a short life, but the truth lives on forever.
00:22:06.720 Proverbs 12.19.
00:22:09.720 You know who really does excellent journalism on COVID vaccines is my friend Tamera Iigolini.
00:22:17.280 I think she is the preeminent medical journalist in this country.
00:22:22.560 And so while I sort of watch a lot of this stuff out of the corner of my eye, my interest in it is the civil liberties aspect.
00:22:33.640 For example, why did we have to tell our bartenders our medical status before he could pour us a draft?
00:22:40.000 Like, what?
00:22:42.560 Why were people coerced into taking a vaccine so they could exercise their Section 6 charter right to travel?
00:22:52.620 Why did people have to suddenly divulge their medical status to go to watch their kids play hockey?
00:22:59.940 I mean, medical privacy was thrown out the window.
00:23:02.540 For me, it's the civil liberties implication of the vaccines.
00:23:06.580 That really drives me crazy.
00:23:10.140 And the financial waste.
00:23:13.660 I did a story a very long time ago about a little town in the far northern part of Alberta.
00:23:25.360 And that town never introduced a vaccine mandate.
00:23:30.320 And it's a town of about 3,000 people.
00:23:34.240 And when they didn't impose a vaccine mandate, it's basically McKenzie County is the county that did it.
00:23:46.280 And it's like McKenzie County encompasses a huge part of northern Alberta.
00:23:50.100 And they said, not only are we not doing this to our people, if you want to do business in McKenzie County, you cannot have a vaccine mandate.
00:24:01.320 And that caused the gas companies, because there's a lot of gas wells up there, to drop their vaccine mandates.
00:24:06.540 And the uptake for the vaccines without coercion was 30%.
00:24:13.540 And so that's the power of coercion.
00:24:18.000 But it was like less than 30% actually took the vaccine, thought it was effective, felt like they needed it.
00:24:25.060 And they came out of the pandemic much quicker than the rest of us.
00:24:29.660 So, but all that is to say, if you would like more information on vaccine journalism, might I suggest to marry you, Galini.
00:24:42.580 Bernie McCluskey says his letters, nothing special.
00:24:47.620 Just Merry Christmas to all of the Rebel News.
00:24:50.580 Sheila, please tell Danielle, I think Danielle Smith, we love her.
00:24:53.620 I think she knows that.
00:24:54.920 I really feel like Danielle Smith is feeling the love of Albertans, but also feeling the love of Canadians who feel like she is fighting for them.
00:25:04.580 As I said in an interview earlier today, I think she is the de facto foreign affairs minister of this country at this point.
00:25:12.760 Bernie says, I personally wish she was our prime minister.
00:25:15.380 Sorry, Pierre.
00:25:16.020 Like you too.
00:25:16.980 Danielle, I love you too.
00:25:18.780 Sheila, you rock. 1.00
00:25:19.780 I love women with looks and brains. 1.00
00:25:21.460 Keep it up, Rebel.
00:25:22.060 Well, that's very nice of you.
00:25:25.020 Tammy, she says, I love all the information you have on TV.
00:25:28.880 You are a great person.
00:25:29.700 Merry Christmas.
00:25:30.220 Let's get rid of Trudeau.
00:25:31.160 That would be a great Christmas present.
00:25:32.660 You know, my t-shirt, my sweater, although it's difficult to read because I work in front of a green screen.
00:25:38.100 So the green writing actually shows up blue because you're seeing the background through.
00:25:41.680 This is in our Rebel News store.
00:25:43.520 You should order it for next year.
00:25:45.340 It's Jingle Bells, Trudeau smells.
00:25:46.900 And you know what?
00:25:47.780 Even if Trudeau isn't the prime minister next year, it'll always be true.
00:25:51.300 He stinks.
00:25:52.760 Louisa, to all you wonderful Rebels, thank you for all that you do.
00:25:56.840 Bring you truth without fear.
00:25:58.980 With persistent dedication, Canada loves you.
00:26:01.540 The truth will set us free.
00:26:03.520 Do you know what?
00:26:04.760 Great letter to end on.
00:26:06.080 Thank you very much.
00:26:06.860 I think so too.
00:26:07.860 Thanks to everybody who supported us here at Rebel News in 2024, I realize that Justin Trudeau is making it more expensive than ever.
00:26:19.880 And he already forces you to support media companies that you don't want to support.
00:26:25.760 And it's not just the CBC now.
00:26:27.500 It's every single media outlet, save for like a handful of independent ones.
00:26:32.880 They've all been CBC-ified.
00:26:35.120 And so I realize in this time of intense inflation, food inflation, energy inflation, your dollar does not go as far as it used to.
00:26:45.360 It's shrinking, shrinking, shrinking.
00:26:46.480 And now the Canadian dollar is like, as I'm filming this, like 69 cents to the American dollar.
00:26:53.300 So what I'm saying is, from us here at Rebel News, from my family to yours, thank you so much for choosing us.
00:27:04.880 I know you have a lot of choices out there.
00:27:07.660 And it means a lot to me, my family, and I know the team at Rebel News to have your support.
00:27:15.980 For you cheering for us, supporting us financially, sharing our work, telling your friends about us.
00:27:22.100 And for me personally, for praying for us.
00:27:26.080 It's a dark, evil world out there.
00:27:28.680 And I really, truly believe it is a battle we fight between good and evil.
00:27:33.900 And those prayers do help.
00:27:36.880 We feel them, we know them.
00:27:39.140 And here's my promise to you in 2025.
00:27:44.280 I will continue to do everything I can to hold Justin Trudeau to account.
00:27:50.780 But not just Justin Trudeau.
00:27:52.800 I will hold the conservatives to account for the promises that they are making to you.
00:27:58.180 I will hold them to account for the times when they are not conservative.
00:28:05.020 When they forget where they came from.
00:28:07.540 And if you don't believe that I will do that, just ask Jason Kenney.
00:28:10.580 And I'm hopeful.
00:28:14.280 I'm hopeful in 2025.
00:28:17.140 I feel like we're at the end of a very dark tunnel.
00:28:23.480 But with that, the work begins anew.
00:28:26.260 We are going to see Justin Trudeau fighting to censor his critics like never before in 2025.
00:28:33.780 And you know that means us.
00:28:36.180 So, the battle isn't over.
00:28:38.880 I think a lot of it is just starting.
00:28:41.460 But I believe, with all my heart, that we will win.
00:28:46.200 Because eventually, good always wins, doesn't it?
00:28:51.760 Okay, well, on that note, if you'd like to send me a letter, you can send me letters every single day, not just at the end of the year.
00:29:03.740 And at the end of the show, I usually turn the show over to you.
00:29:07.060 Last segment is yours.
00:29:08.060 I read your letters, your comments on our YouTube videos.
00:29:10.560 So, send me a letter.
00:29:11.800 Sheila at rebelnews.com.
00:29:13.680 You might just see it read on air.
00:29:16.280 Thank you, everybody.
00:29:17.840 Merry Christmas.
00:29:18.860 Happy New Year.
00:29:19.840 Let's get a new prime minister for Christmas and reclaim what's left of this great country.
00:29:33.260 Thanks to everybody who works behind the scenes at Rebel News to put the show together.
00:29:37.620 They really worked hard in 2024.
00:29:40.080 They make us in front of the camera look smart and articulate.
00:29:44.180 And boy, that's a lot of work with somebody like me.
00:29:50.740 And friends, as I always say, don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think.
