00:01:25.780 finding out who your friends are it's a little bit of everything tonight. I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed

00:01:29.760 and you're watching The Gunn Show.

00:01:47.580 Back a couple of weeks ago on Alberta's election night as Albertans were exercising the socialist

00:01:54.020 demons from their government Kean Bextie and I and of course the boss Ezra Levant did a live broadcast

00:02:00.520 from United Conservative Party headquarters in Calgary. Now you can go back and watch that entire show.

00:02:08.280 It was pretty fun but on that broadcast a super chatter donated to us and then asked me to have

00:02:15.820 Canadian YouTuber and performer Kelly Day back on my show. Now as you know I'm a fan of Kelly.

00:02:22.180 I think she's incredibly talented and more importantly she brings a certain kindness and

00:02:28.200 thoughtfulness to Canadian Conservative politics. She's been on my show before. She'll of course be

00:02:34.260 on my show again and I do appreciate the reminder to have her on tonight. So joining me tonight in an

00:02:42.060 interview we recorded Monday afternoon where we talk about you know just about everything that's on

00:02:48.420 her radar from the culture war to how politics can harm your friendships sometimes to her steps into

00:02:55.720 the realm of federal politics is Kelly Day.

00:03:15.520 So joining me now from Prince Albert Saskatchewan is Canadian YouTuber and performer Kelly Day. Hey Kelly

00:03:22.980 thanks for joining me. Yeah thanks for having me good to see you again Sheila. Now the reason you're 1.00

00:03:27.420 on the show I suppose it's twofold. I took some super chat money on Albert elections night on the

00:03:35.660 pretense that I would have you back on the show but I was going to have you back on the show anyway

00:03:40.140 that generous donation just reminded me to do it sooner rather than later. I wanted to have you on the

00:03:46.700 show just to do I don't know I guess a prairie girl roundup of things that are kind of going on

00:03:53.680 that are on your radar and I guess on mine too now that the Albert election is over and I can sort of

00:04:00.340 focus on the broader scope of politics and the culture war and I think I'll make reference to some

00:04:07.680 of your more recent videos that you've done because you are a YouTuber. You I guess is pretty recent

00:04:16.220 would have been we're recording this Monday it'll go to air on Wednesday. You've been accused of

00:04:22.440 having internalized misogyny because you don't hate your own husband. Is this true?

00:04:31.940 It's pretty close pretty close not my own husband per se I didn't get into the whole

00:04:35.920 Twitter back and forth I still hate the word tweet I don't even like to use it it sounds so petty but

00:04:41.160 it was ultimately just a conversation I'd had actually ironically about the Alberta election

00:04:46.580 it was a last week old thread with a gal who basically called all UCP voters misogynist racist 0.99

00:04:53.440 homophobic etc you know you know the gamut right you saw the campaign it was very vile and so they

00:04:58.500 were just basically saying that you know how can all of these people have no empathy and I just said

00:05:02.860 you know maybe it's sort of unempathetic to assume that every person in a group is is kind of a bad

00:05:08.160 person and that just started this whole conversation this one gal that I spoke of in my video was 1.00

00:05:13.060 someone who dove in on the sidelines sort of a friend of this other person nothing kind of came

00:05:17.500 of it it was a week old suddenly this this random guy uh we guess it'd be an Albertan liberal perhaps

00:05:23.240 or NDP or maybe um dove in fairly aggressive they're NDPers fair enough fair enough so have you

00:05:29.460 looked at the chart Kelly there aren't many liberals um so he dove in and just was we got into a bit of

00:05:34.240 banter about left versus right-wing politics he kind of tried to you know be a bit more you know

00:05:39.400 assertive with it I was pretty I countered him with my my usual charm and uh ultimately we kind of came

00:05:44.980 to a good place a happy medium and he said very very simply you know you seem like a very respectful

00:05:50.840 and intelligent person this other girl just comes in out of nowhere no idea where she isn't she doesn't 1.00

00:05:56.420 seem intelligent she is intelligent and and and that apparently she went on to explain that I wasn't

00:06:01.920 realizing that this guy was actually using misogyny and trying to minimize my intelligence

00:06:06.780 and men do this all the time and I just couldn't see it and ultimately she kind of accused me of

00:06:11.340 being naive that I just didn't understand and I just thought it was so funny um I've laughed about

00:06:16.100 it for a couple of days now because ultimately I guess I'm just not woke enough right I'm just not

00:06:19.440 woke enough Sheila so I'm so sorry that you're talking to this girl that just just doesn't get it 0.99

00:06:23.820 you know you seem smart but I don't know depends on the day right but that was really like

00:06:30.300 that was as soon as Rachel Notley was resoundingly rejected um for her I guess the politics of 0.91

00:06:38.840 destruction both of the province and everybody's reputation when you tried to say something um

00:06:44.600 critical of her um that then became the narrative of her loss well it wasn't because Albertans want

00:06:52.020 to get back to work that we are Canada's you know the Saudi Arabia of oil in North America and yet we

00:06:58.560 can't get our oil to market and we're going broke um but the reason we didn't vote for Rachel Notley

00:07:04.460 was because we were sexist um and we just we just can't have a woman leader in charge well 1.00

00:07:10.480 we voted for Alison Redford I wasn't a fan of her but people did vote for her the right-wing 0.99

00:07:17.800 Wild Rosers we had Danielle Smith as the leader of the Wild Rose Party um and I would credit her with

00:07:24.520 making it you know uh a mainstream movement from a fringe party she did that and then we elected 0.96

00:07:31.980 Rachel Notley we I mean you know the royal we no you're not me collective we yeah yeah but even with

00:07:41.420 all that evidence that you know Albertans really don't care all that much about uh gender politics

00:07:47.440 the outside of Alberta commenters um you know especially in the mainstream media they just

00:07:55.320 want to accuse Albertans of being backwoods hicks and you know it's really designed to shut people

00:08:01.420 up you know that you just get tired of constantly defending yourself against these accusations you know 0.99

00:08:07.020 are not true about yourself that you're racist you're sexist you're homophobe you hate women um when 1.00

00:08:12.880 all you really want is a job like so stupid really it's you know and it's funny Sheila because I've I'm 1.00

00:08:18.540 not from Alberta but many members of my family are we've spent many summers in Alberta when I grew up 0.99

00:08:23.600 I always wanted to I was the kid that every picture I drew was horses and a ranch and some mountains

00:08:29.240 in behind I just thought like a ranch with the mountains in the background was just the best life

00:08:33.520 you could ever have that's what I sort of wanted and I still kind of idealize that although horses are a

00:08:37.900 lot of work and a lot of money so perhaps that that part might have to fly away but hay burners is all

00:08:42.500 they are and they kick there's that too yeah but you know that that's sort of the idyllic sort of I

00:08:50.440 guess Alberta idea right and it is a place um of western freedom it's a very independent place

00:08:55.540 I've said that I'm going to do a cover pretty soon here of Paul Brandt's version of um or his his song

00:09:00.600 Alberta Bound which the lyrics to me are just bang on and when you when you sing that song and when you

00:09:05.380 think about these sort of ideas that make Alberta what they are Saskatchewan isn't so different we're like a

00:09:10.580 sister or cousin whatever you want to call it so lately even though I'm not from Alberta I have felt

00:09:15.080 sort of a great kinship I guess you could say with Alberta and and particularly those of you who are

00:09:20.180 struggling against the NDP because um it just I hear the concerns that I've heard throughout my whole

00:09:25.660 life my childhood sort of mirrored in the same things that people are saying in Alberta when it comes to

00:09:29.720 worries about way too much power in Ottawa the West being forgotten all of these types of things right and 0.55

00:09:35.500 so I feel for you guys and when you went through that election just watching the vitriol was just

00:09:39.960 incredible and of course we're just seeing it nationally too you mentioned yes you you voted

00:09:44.300 out a female which means that of course there must be internalized misogyny it must run deep within all 1.00

00:09:48.740 of you as well um but of course they're blaming multiple Canadians for this because you're seeing

00:09:53.920 this happening as a trend across the country we're losing sort of some female premiers in general and of 1.00

00:09:58.660 course left with males and of course what's worse some some white males which of course makes 0.75

00:10:03.360 everybody that much angrier so here we are right in this conundrum where we're all apparently so

00:10:08.000 misogynistic even the women voters that we just can't figure our own lives out uh yeah and you also have 0.94

00:10:15.140 another uh I thought it was a very thoughtful video about how politics has really tested your

00:10:23.640 friendships long-standing friendships you thought you had with people um for me I think that sort of

00:10:31.920 thing it's sad but it's not on you I mean when you're reaching out across the table to you know

00:10:38.960 to express the fact that your friendships are are stronger than politics and that's not reciprocated

00:10:43.720 I think that speaks to the quality of your friendship with that person

00:10:46.940 absolutely um so this has happened to me I've I would say I've lost um two friends for sure and

00:10:53.940 then there's one that hasn't openly sort of had the courage to say you know what I don't like you

00:10:58.620 anymore I'm afraid of you or whatever it is she thinks of me she's a you know she's a very kind

00:11:02.180 person and she wants to believe I'm okay still but you know she's so used to sort of um I guess

00:11:07.700 you would say an NDP mindset I guess which is fine I don't have a problem with that but I haven't

00:11:11.640 known her that long so she doesn't have that foundation of really knowing my soul so I can

00:11:15.200 appreciate if someone that just got to know me in my most kind of leftist nihilist stage they're

00:11:20.160 going to think that I'm this very different person when in fact I've actually returned to a very whole

00:11:23.520 very very sane version of myself it's it's not at all different it's it's better it's improved it's

00:11:28.820 uh it's growth right a lot of personal growth so I'm not concerned so much about these sort of new

00:11:33.360 people that have come and gone there's been a few of those but it's these long-standing ones so I had

00:11:38.180 a friend of um five years which I thought was a long time uh thought was bad enough and then yes lost

00:11:43.100 a friend uh more of a family friend more much more pardon me far more close to my mother uh 65 year

00:11:49.560 friendship with my mother has known me since I was born uh so over 30 years and um yeah just over

00:11:55.540 Tommy Robinson over me uh supporting Tommy Robinson going to England singing um at Panadrama uh she

00:12:01.280 believes he is a fascist therefore um I am supporting a fascist therefore my mother was

00:12:05.560 supporting supporting a fascist so it's really just this line of thinking we have we have committed um an

00:12:11.100 impure sin of ideology and we're out right and so yeah it's really interesting um I was hoping that I

00:12:16.640 could rectify it it didn't go so well as I mentioned in my video um and I have to leave it

00:12:21.180 where it is so yeah you just you have to move on and really respect that someone's in a certain you

00:12:25.540 know mental space whatever it is you have to try to you know kind of reach out and then find that

00:12:30.300 balance where you say okay I'm I'm out I'm moving on and ultimately the best part of this is is if you

00:12:36.280 are sort of taking the right path um and actually following who you are you end up finding better people

00:12:40.860 anyway so now I have these great people that I've met yourself included I'm having I've only met you

00:12:44.900 once in person but I mean just you meet these people that you so instantly connect with and have

00:12:48.880 similar um you know values with and they sort of accept you for who you really are not all these

00:12:53.880 masks that you put on and so for every person I'm losing I'm gaining you know two or more and so it

00:12:59.200 isn't the end of the world but it's been rough it's it's a transition right and um sadly the media and

00:13:04.680 the bias and all this stuff that's going on is changing people's um opinions and it's why I'm so

00:13:08.900 strongly against uh the CBC and I wish we could defund them because I believe they're responsible for

00:13:13.580 tearing people apart in this country and it makes me pretty sick actually so you know that's a great

00:13:18.000 point I wish we could part uh the CBC out like an old minivan just sell the seats sell the steering

00:13:24.160 column um you know just so that it's a skeleton um and then uh take that skeleton to the car crusher

00:13:30.980 and sell that for scrap um but it is true that these mainstream media narratives for example in your

00:13:38.640 situation about Tommy Robinson people are I mean there are people more and more people now are

00:13:46.100 are questioning the credibility of the mainstream media but the people who are still part of I would

00:13:51.520 I would suggest a bit of a cult of the mainstream media where all their news has to come from the

00:13:56.460 CBC and if the CBC said it it is you know like the gospel of Mark um yeah it's so true that they would

00:14:03.340 throw out a friendship with a family because it's not just you it's tangentially now your mom

00:14:08.740 who's who's got the stink of you on her um yes my poor sweet mom too and she couldn't you couldn't 1.00

00:14:15.040 you know ask for a kinder more gentle loyal you know person it's just it's awful to see that

00:14:19.540 happening to her that's what really really killed me I'm I I signed up for this I'm a youtuber now I

00:14:23.560 get hate weekly daily sometimes so it's like yeah you know I get it but her oh that wasn't fun to see 0.94

00:14:28.980 right well and you know like these people who know your mom for a very long time are willing

00:14:34.400 to just say no she's supporting a fascist because CBC said something like they can't even believe

00:14:41.080 their own uh experience with your mom their own lying eyes um because Rosie Barton said so I mean

00:14:49.600 precisely that is exactly and that that's what got me it wasn't so much that this person has beliefs

00:14:54.980 against Tommy Robinson if we had come if we had had a conversation and she said you know what at

00:14:59.720 the end of the day I believe the evidence is damning and I don't trust him sorry not my thing

00:15:04.740 I'd say okay you know what fair enough thanks for having the discussion my issue is not that we

00:15:08.320 disagree my issue is that people these days and I always thought that it was just stuff the stuff of

00:15:13.500 YouTube videos the stuff of American political pundits in California and Berkeley you know no no this

00:15:19.320 is happening in in conservative Saskatchewan it's happening all over the place and everyone I talk to now

00:15:24.360 you know people will tell me stories in the comment sections of their own experiences and it's just

00:15:28.800 a nightmare the states is really bad of course with Trump and the deplorables um it's a nightmare

00:15:33.500 people are getting divorced over that stuff but it's happening here too and what makes me sick is that 0.99

00:15:37.880 these mature adults these often very intelligent people right these are not stupid people that's what 0.54

00:15:43.820 kills me um very smart people are not able to a access their rational thinking of everything you've done

00:15:50.580 and who you are and and not just the words you speak but the actions right so someone's known you

00:15:55.080 your whole life and believes in you and you haven't changed as a person they just found out something

00:15:59.520 about you politically and now suddenly they don't like you anymore that that's very indicative of a

00:16:03.780 lack of depth then or at least a lack of um courage to just speak up to someone that you trust because

00:16:09.480 ultimately if you can believe a journalist like you said Rosie Barton or whoever else over someone that

00:16:14.340 you've had a bond with that long I I don't I don't know what to say about that that to me is the

00:16:17.940 biggest level of disrespect and this is what I'm seeing across the board and same in politics it's

00:16:22.900 all about just jabs jabs you know character assassinations gotcha moments um trying to dig

00:16:28.860 and find one thing someone has said it's just it's really really um vile it's always been that way uh

00:16:34.140 it's worse now with social media but we're seeing it now just infecting the general public it's really

00:16:39.200 sick and yeah it does suck to have someone say you know what I trust this stranger in Tommy

00:16:43.760 Robinson's case often strangers in the UK that you'll never meet um they couldn't they could be 0.51

00:16:49.020 a fake writer altogether it could be a pseudonym you don't even know and and you're going to trust

00:16:52.600 them over someone you've known literally since you were a toddler that's just to me that's that's I

00:16:57.380 can't wrap my head around it so I still that's where I struggle is just to to understand it in a

00:17:01.940 rational way and I can't no I I don't think there is any rationale to it um but I'm glad you brought

00:17:08.520 up Tommy Robinson because I wanted to ask you about that uh Tommy Robinson he's running to be

00:17:13.160 a member of the European Parliament um and they have a bizarre system um how how that comes to be

00:17:20.860 and how you come to win your seat so there is a good chance that he could actually win um but

00:17:26.700 Twitter has suspended his campaign account um and you know you and I were talking off air but for all

00:17:35.140 the mainstream media and left-wing wailing and moaning and flailing about a Russia conspiracy

00:17:41.980 that never was meddling in American politics this sure as hell looks like an American company trying

00:17:48.700 to sway the outcome of a European election and everybody just thinks yeah it's fine because they

00:17:53.980 don't like Tommy yes precisely it's fine because I don't like him it's fine because he is blank insert

00:18:00.020 um you know expletive word here he is racist he's inflammatory whatever you think that he is so then

00:18:04.580 they decide it's okay and no one sees the bigger picture um of what this means of what you know

00:18:09.420 people that are calling for censorship don't realize that ultimately they're going to be digging their

00:18:13.200 own graves because it will affect everybody even the most progressive the most ideologically pure of

00:18:18.300 all of us um and it's sick because of course I do support Tommy Robinson I've been fairly open about that

00:18:23.600 um obviously that would be the demise of you know this this one relationship and perhaps some to follow

00:18:28.040 hard to say but um you know with Tommy he has just experienced a level of deplatforming that is

00:18:33.780 is unbelievable they are like just trying to erase him off the face of the earth and they believe

00:18:40.800 somehow that this is going to what stop the movement stop you know stop him from doing what

00:18:46.700 he's doing it only seems to serve to push him further to want to do what he's doing this is why

00:18:53.700 he's going into politics it's um that sense of you know what no one's speaking for this side you're

00:18:58.500 going to keep deplatforming me fine I'm going to dive into the next realm then you know catch me

00:19:02.740 there and and they can do it twitter can do it all these private companies can do what they do

00:19:06.860 and we can argue about whether that's good or bad um you know free speech does it extend to

00:19:11.520 private institutions all that good stuff but the point is more just the trend the overall trend that

00:19:16.740 push for censorship that push to erase him from everyone's minds and tongues and and videos you

00:19:22.480 know I've been told that my how they rule you um version um the one that I put up I had permission

00:19:27.320 to use your copy and I made a little intro that's one of the few versions left out there I didn't

00:19:31.900 realize that there's been a mass sweeping of even the panel drama coverage just it's insane it's

00:19:36.780 absolute censorship it's absolute totalitarianism type censorship um I don't know why people aren't

00:19:43.160 concerned I hope he can move forward um without this I understand he's is it a bust that he's got

00:19:49.120 going on I don't know he's he's finding he's finding creative ways to get people's attention

00:19:53.960 um but honestly I wonder sometimes if these extreme measures of censorship don't work in the favor

00:19:59.060 of people who are being who they're trying to actually censor because it does become so outlandish

00:20:03.860 that it almost makes people say well what is it about this guy that's so bad and then they maybe go

00:20:07.740 and find him and listen to him where they wouldn't before so perhaps we will see how it goes he's a

00:20:11.680 very tenacious um young guy so I I suspect he'll find a way around it I really do yeah I think

00:20:17.700 there's going to be a little bit of the Streisand effect happening where the more they try to um 0.99

00:20:23.060 memory hole Tommy Robinson the more um he's going to become part of you know the conversation um but

00:20:32.080 that just shows you know how out of touch these censors and the mainstream media really are I mean

00:20:37.580 when you think about it Twitter and Facebook um they're really acting as the new tv station and the

00:20:45.140 new print newspapers of our time when nobody goes to use those things anymore like nobody really um

00:20:51.640 flips on the local news when you can flip on Twitter it's there when you need it it you know

00:20:55.820 you get your video and your news updates faster than running home and turning on the tv um so you know

00:21:02.220 there there are rules particularly in Canada about whether um you know tv stations can decide not to

00:21:10.960 take ad dollars from um you know a political candidate now they don't seem to really be following those

00:21:18.040 these days um according to what happened in Toronto um but you know if they are acting as newspapers then

00:21:25.600 and they want us to treat them like newspapers um and tv stations and the local news then really they need

00:21:33.800 to be behaving like them um but that's not the case they're on one hand they want um all the access

00:21:41.000 that they would get acting as a utility but at the same time um behaving as a private corporation

00:21:47.800 with their own rules that um where they can exclude uh people from doing business on their platform

00:21:53.640 and I don't think they can have a both ways and I'm not one I'm literally the last person in the world

00:21:59.220 to advocate for regulation I just think like I would rather have my business close the door

00:22:06.060 than have the government regulate it um but I think these companies are so big that they can actually

00:22:12.540 decide what information you can consume um I I'm leaning towards regulation regulate these things

00:22:19.680 as a utility like the telephone company yeah you know it was interesting because I when I first kind

00:22:24.940 of got into Twitter I think I just joined in I guess it'd be September here of 2018 um I use it for

00:22:30.080 very specific ways because I've learned that it's not well I've learned it's not the place for

00:22:34.400 beautiful nuanced discussion because people are in a weird space where they just want to

00:22:39.340 you know kind of jump on everybody for nothing it's a weird it's a weird vibe I'm not sure how

00:22:44.600 I feel about that battlefield but it can be a lot of fun and it is like you said it's a tool like

00:22:48.100 anything else technology can be you know a tool for destruction a hammer can tear something down

00:22:52.800 or it can build something up and I think Twitter is no um you know it's no exception to that but like

00:22:57.780 you said it comes down to what it was sort of intended to be it's not just now a social media

00:23:02.480 network it's not a place to share pictures and just sort of joke around for many people it is like

00:23:06.540 you said it's a mainstream source for news and for you know breaking events around the world it's a

00:23:13.360 quick way to get in touch with people it's a quick way to see when something's been fact checked or

00:23:17.620 changed um not that that happens that very often these days in journalism but you know once in a

00:23:21.920 while when someone is willing to correct the story you can get it quickly or someone's rebuttal

00:23:25.460 uh when they decide to call someone out you know all of this stuff is very important um like it or not

00:23:30.300 I hate it actually I hate Twitter diplomacy but it's become a political sphere it's huge it is a

00:23:36.200 huge political political battlefield and it's sort of necessary that you have an even playing field in

00:23:40.880 politics if nothing else I mean you can talk about the personal accounts but when you talk about

00:23:44.620 censoring an MEP account when you talk about censoring a political campaign um yeah where where is

00:23:51.280 that line because that that takes away from the whole idea of it just being a business and and it does

00:23:55.140 start suggesting that they do have a little more power a little more pull so um as this shifts and

00:24:00.140 gets more and more prevalent yeah I'm leaning towards what you're saying and it's it's inevitable

00:24:04.180 I think and it's it sucks because like you said I don't want the government's dirty hands in anything

00:24:08.520 but where does this end right and and at what point or are people just expected to find that

00:24:13.580 alternative source which there are you know they are available but people really have to start

00:24:17.820 opening up and trying new platforms and um you know I don't know the answer right yeah I think

00:24:23.140 if twitter and facebook get regulated um they asked for it you know all they had to do was not

00:24:29.680 be you know have these ideological purity tests before you could participate in their platform or

00:24:36.100 work for them for that matter um so if they do get regulated and it hurts their bottom line

00:24:41.360 you had it coming yeah oh no so so sad so sad now speaking of twitter um all last week I you know

00:24:50.940 my twitter mentions are like um it's like a nuclear holocaust in there most days only imagine like I

00:24:58.520 don't think it ever goes beyond like what is the highest number 99 plus I don't think I think I've

00:25:03.080 only had that once yeah and uh I suspect yours is always just there it's like every crazy person

00:25:09.280 thinks that I need to hear what they have to say and I you know what I I Ezra gives me trouble

00:25:14.480 because he's like you should block those people but I am more spiteful and so I just mute them

00:25:19.500 because I want them to hear what I'm saying but know that I don't care what they have to say to me

00:25:25.180 nice how are you Sheila how are you yes thank you um but you enraged all of vegan twitter which is a

00:25:33.580 rookie mistake I did that like six years ago um and I you know you end up with all these crazy people 0.60

00:25:39.780 who oh man have comfort chickens they think that chickens are this higher functioning creature that 0.90

00:25:47.040 can provide some sort of like empathic support to them when they need emotional support which I mean

00:25:53.680 nobody who's ever met a chicken thinks that um but you enraged all these people and it was like

00:26:00.220 days and days and days they didn't stop I thought for sure something new will come along and they'll

00:26:06.420 forget about me they didn't it was it just kept going and going and I was like why is this honestly

00:26:11.680 Sheila it's ridiculous I all I did was in a benign moment I wasn't even thinking I was just hanging

00:26:16.460 outside with the dogs it was sunny and I just replied to an A&W um it was it was an article

00:26:22.200 about the new A&W veggie burger it was a globe and mail article and I'm a little bit pissy about all

00:26:27.100 of the constant push about taxing beef and how bad everyone is for eating beef and I eat a high

00:26:32.420 things to say about A&W too and their marketing campaign fair enough yeah you know like their

00:26:38.040 anti-hormone stuff and their anti-antibiotic stuff I mean I've got a lot of

00:26:43.360 like actual farmer opinions to say about A&W's beef um but you know it's so funny when you

00:26:51.560 wade into vegan twitter and they're telling me how to farm they're telling me how to farm

00:26:57.000 and what happens at the abattoir when the cows go down the line and it's like

00:27:01.600 no you know what you guys just eat apples and cabbage and I bet you smell horrible I'm not taking

00:27:07.780 any food advice from you but they had lots of food advice for you it was amazing she like seriously 0.98

00:27:13.920 like I said I didn't mean to get into this it was just benign like you know bugger off kind of comment

00:27:18.400 to the media and little did I know you know I get home from work and I could see my twitter

00:27:23.200 notifications just went insane and I had lots of support and people retweeted it and hell yeah

00:27:28.160 meat eaters and people posting pictures of burgers and whatever it was great but there was also this

00:27:33.180 this percentage of people and they were not there was two there was two that were reasonable well

00:27:38.020 that's not true one became reasonable uh after realizing they couldn't really argue anymore and

00:27:43.140 then the other one was more just reasonable in general the rest were just aggressive like it's

00:27:47.460 I try really hard to be empathetic towards vegans I've made a video I try to um understand their

00:27:52.800 position I've tried veganism and vegetarianism for health reasons um for managing chronic health

00:27:57.380 reasons lots of people push that idea and say you'll feel better and some people do that's great for

00:28:01.140 them didn't work for me I'm um I'm very much into high protein high red meat content period I live on

00:28:07.940 beef goat cheese um you know high protein high fat stuff it's it's not a vegan diet and uh so you

00:28:15.540 know I try to explain this to people and I would hope that they would engage usually once I said

00:28:18.920 something rational they just left they just couldn't say anything so they just left but there was a

00:28:22.260 couple they just kept going with the memes and the murderer and the the the slicing of the throat

00:28:27.600 comments and it was just like oh my god what have I done here and I engaged with a few just because

00:28:33.080 it was kind of fun it gives a really interesting picture uh once in a while if you do dive in you

00:28:37.580 know it gives a fun picture of society but then you also kind of at the end of the day you think is

00:28:41.980 this is this where we are now um as a prairie girl it is kind of funny because that that was my

00:28:46.920 argument was you guys have never been to a farm have you you don't have like you picture the the

00:28:51.200 pita movie meet your meat with massive industrialized gross factory farming and you

00:28:56.800 can't fathom that a farmer would care so much for their animals they don't understand either

00:29:01.460 even on the sense of land um the kind of to bring it to a more serious note when a farmer

00:29:07.120 not big big farmers but regular family average farmers normal average people like yourself um so

00:29:12.940 many of my family they care for their land and in order to survive off the land they have to be in

00:29:18.780 tune with the land farmers know cycles and seasons better than anybody else they understand what all

00:29:24.440 the little things mean and how much snow there's going to be and what that means for the spring

00:29:27.900 they are in tuned in every way and when it comes to their animals if there's a sick cow they they get

00:29:32.620 a vet out even though it costs a lot of money they are generally ethical generally uh they care more for

00:29:38.140 animals than most of these people and I think it's so funny because we talk about um how these farms are

00:29:42.720 ruining the earth and it's everybody's you know yelling at farmers for everything and it's like you

00:29:48.000 know I don't think that these urbanites maybe understand that they're so way off base and I just

00:29:53.520 wish I just wish Sheila once that all of these people that went and like protested at antler in

00:29:58.640 Toronto like please come to Saskatchewan and go to a beef farm please please please I just want to see

00:30:03.040 it I want to take a camera and see uh that you know play out actually I'd like them to come to your

00:30:06.980 house I think that'd be fun I'd like to watch you take a swing at those at those activists not a

00:30:11.660 not a literal physical swing but some you know I would put them to such hard work that they would be

00:30:16.640 begging for a steak just for the protein so that they could function and I'm like you I don't care

00:30:22.380 how you eat eat however you want it's like a religion right worship however you want this is

00:30:27.300 a free country I'll do my thing you do yours but um I'm not a don't call me a murderer like

00:30:35.160 literally and I think honestly Sheila I think they would rather have us even when I explained that

00:30:40.420 it's for my health people indicated that they would rather me die kind of than a baby cow and it's like

00:30:45.140 well not even a baby cow I don't even eat veal they're actually adult cows they I think that in

00:30:49.580 many people's minds that chicken that you're talking about that cow like screw me I'm a 0.93

00:30:54.500 conservative white female in Canada I would rather she just die you know what I mean I honestly got 0.99

00:30:58.340 that feeling from some of these people what do you think the overlap is from those vegans um 0.99

00:31:04.600 how many of them what do you think the percentage is of them being pro-choice you're a murderer for

00:31:10.040 eating an egg um do you think uh like generally in my experience 99% of them are pro-choice so an

00:31:18.060 egg is murder but a human fetus is not yeah I find that it's generally a very progressive ideology

00:31:25.920 now I've met a couple of conservatives who do follow it for usually it's for health reasons um

00:31:29.900 yeah sure but you know they're not preachy about it no precisely and that's the when I meet those

00:31:35.140 vegans I just I I want to hug them I work with one and she's she hates those types of vegans and 0.66

00:31:39.120 she's just this normal person that one day realized she just didn't want to eat meat anymore

00:31:43.140 she feels better she's had a baby she feels great good for her awesome she doesn't tell anybody else

00:31:47.260 that they need to basically burn in the fires of hell for having a steak and you know that like

00:31:51.720 you said it's the preachiness that really gets you but yeah I don't know um it is it is a bit of a

00:31:56.360 religion it does seem to be that people there's a judgment at the end of it and you know um when it

00:32:01.700 comes to the pro-life thing yeah you're right there is a progressivism sort of trend I guess you could

00:32:06.760 say with a lot of people who are kind of going down that that road and uh often yes that means

00:32:11.820 that there is a pro-choice um sort of mentality and yeah it is to me a little bit hypocritical it

00:32:17.900 doesn't make a lot of doesn't make a lot of sense to me um I I again try to wrap my head around some

00:32:23.580 of this stuff and because I'm a farm girl like I I get it I'm a softy I don't like animals suffering

00:32:28.560 either but that's the thing is again farmers are actually uh the first people that will put down an

00:32:33.860 animal if they're suffering they don't usually want to see like what do they think that we are

00:32:38.600 what you know I just don't get it and yet if you call out someone for wanting to you know abort a

00:32:43.300 child at what 11 months or whatever it is now in the states that these this uh senator whatever was

00:32:47.860 talking about that if you call that evil you're what hyperbolic preachy get get real it's just the

00:32:53.100 the upside down land of things right now is just astounding sometimes you have to laugh or I think you 0.82

00:32:58.500 just want to bang your head against the wall really yeah as Gavin McInnes says it's clown world

00:33:03.940 like it's it's hard to even believe that those people exist and they they can't see the um the 0.87

00:33:11.640 disconnect between their two you know diametrically opposed stances on things um I know that you have

00:33:18.120 to go to work today um so I know I'm trying to move this along a little bit I've got some time we're

00:33:23.520 good okay um although I could probably talk to you all day um it's fun I enjoy it very much yeah

00:33:29.500 the uh that's super chat money uh that I took on election night to have you on the show um

00:33:37.200 I said that I would have you on the show to sing now I'm going to put you on the spot um would you

00:33:45.320 give us 20 30 seconds of something acapella sure yeah would you like something uh any particular

00:33:53.180 genres like you know I could do a couple things or just something light to end the show yeah

00:33:57.920 something light to end the show and then uh then we'll give you a chance to let everybody know where

00:34:03.260 they can find you that sounds good how about a little Patsy Cline how does that sound oh yes all

00:34:07.800 right I'm gonna uh try to move away from this a bit I'm not set up you know mixer wise for music so

00:34:13.360 I apologize if it crackles I'll try to keep it you know try not to belt it too hard here

00:34:17.600 I'm crazy crazy for feeling so lonely

00:34:26.320 and I'm crazy crazy for feeling so blue

00:34:36.260 and I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted

00:34:45.360 and then someday you'd leave me for somebody new

00:34:54.980 worry why do I let myself worry

00:35:03.700 why do I let myself worry

00:35:04.080 wondering what in the hell did I do

00:35:12.080 I'm crazy crazy for feeling so lonely

00:35:22.200 and I'm crazy for trying crazy for crying and I'm crazy for loving you

00:35:37.160 fantastic you were so incredibly talented and when I sing I sound like um someone is hitting a baby

00:35:47.340 with a cat so um you just have the voice of an angel um Kelly I want to thank you so much for your time today

00:35:55.600 um like thanks for having me

00:35:57.300 yeah for sure um I want to give you a chance to um promote your YouTube channel let people know where they can find you

00:36:04.020 I think you do put out some incredibly thoughtful content

00:36:06.860 and I think it needs a lot more eyeballs because you approach these issues

00:36:11.040 um with a level of understanding and compassion that um I know that I don't

00:36:17.700 like I guess I've been a lifelong conservative so I it's for it's hard for me to get inside the mind of a leftist

00:36:25.780 but you come from that and you had this sort of come to Jesus change in how you look at things

00:36:31.680 but you still approach it with understanding and um I think that's valuable and missing

00:36:37.560 in a lot of the public discourse yes I would agree with that it's why I I made the channel

00:36:43.340 I'm going to try to be serious after imagining um hitting a baby with a cat that image is just

00:36:48.680 stuck right there but yes um when I started my channel essentially I started it last July I guess

00:36:54.140 it's been almost a year July 2018 it was essentially originally started to kind of just rant I started

00:36:59.060 with the feminism rant um which is kind of what we talked about today and then it just morphed into 1.00

00:37:03.300 more of a well maybe if I'm going to rant I should give my fiance a break and then it kind of

00:37:07.060 morphed into realizing this this huge gap that um there was that we needed to have more people who

00:37:13.000 kind of could understand both sides everything's very polarized because of social media so I do try

00:37:17.960 to provide um sort of a middle ground without shifting my beliefs or being wishy-washy I don't

00:37:24.680 believe in you know becoming milquetoast on the things that matter but there is a way to present it I

00:37:29.040 don't want to be and and by nature I'm just not super controversial so I do wish for a more of a sense of

00:37:34.060 unity um and I see a lot of division in our country I see a lot of division in my you know regional area

00:37:39.180 and I see a lot of it being pushed by our local um and federal governments I see the media making

00:37:44.540 it worse and I see individual people you know fueling that fire and so I just want to be part

00:37:49.040 of the solution because I think ultimately um we're not all that different we've just been made to think

00:37:55.360 about all the bad things about each other that we disagree with and politically um we can differ and

00:37:59.900 still have sort of similar core values so I try to focus on the core value stuff um I have my rant

00:38:04.940 videos though I mean there's days where it's just like I said you just want to bang your head against

00:38:08.360 a wall but I try to at least understand um I think ultimately that I'm realistic and I'm learning this

00:38:13.400 more and more that there's just people you can't um you can't help you can't touch uh they're in a

00:38:17.280 weird mind space but there are people like myself that were just you know rational classical liberals

00:38:21.540 that um believe the wrong people maybe went through some trauma went through some stuff and it

00:38:25.580 changes your perspective so my channel uh just under my name Kelly Day I always uh basically

00:38:30.320 pass on that there's two people when you look it up there's me and there's a Brazilian supermodel 0.96

00:38:34.940 I'm the one that's not the Brazilian supermodel um the picture of me and my piano can't miss me um

00:38:39.880 I do yeah social political commentary I do some music I do interviews when I can try to do them about

00:38:45.320 once a week um my channel is um focused on Christian values but it's very much open to any belief I have

00:38:51.380 plenty of atheist and agnostic and Jewish subscribers and anyone else so yeah um please come on over

00:38:57.140 check it out I'd love to have you in the comment section and I am on Twitter as well um it's more

00:39:01.820 of a sort of sarcastic fun outlet for me my handle is at Kelly our day 19 so now Kelly before we go

00:39:09.120 you did let me in on a little secret about your future um you want to share that yes yes sure I'll

00:39:16.460 probably make a video as well um I did just put you on the spot oh that's okay no it's good it's good

00:39:21.300 um needs to come out so yes I um I wasn't sure if it was going to be kind of happening so I hadn't

00:39:27.080 really mentioned it but I had applied uh to be vetted for the candidacy here for the PPC the

00:39:32.980 People's Party of Canada uh in my riding and um I was hoping to find some people uh locally that would

00:39:38.160 dive in but it's a bit tough to find that uh in this sort of um I guess you could say very rushed

00:39:43.500 campaign this very rushed election so I am uh I have been vetted and accepted and I will be running as

00:39:49.200 the candidate in uh the Prince Albert riding for the PPC so that's uh going to change again the

00:39:54.780 direction of my channel a bit it will be used now somewhat as a political platform also and you'll

00:39:59.500 see me more um on you know various articles and smear campaigns instead so that's coming you're going to

00:40:06.500 be um excoriated for speaking to me oh I'm certain of that and of course Tommy Robinson will be you know

00:40:13.220 the nail in my coffin media wise but I I have um I have no shame in what I've done and this whole

00:40:18.520 integrity bit is part of why I want to do this I don't know I I love the idea of politics um I thought

00:40:24.160 maybe if I got into politics it would be in five or ten years um but sometimes timing uh sort of comes

00:40:28.820 upon you it doesn't necessarily you don't get to pick right you don't always get to choose and

00:40:32.640 ultimately when you feel led to do something and you want to help um you know this very much is the

00:40:37.460 same narrative as what I'm doing with my channel I want to bring more uh unity I believe very much

00:40:42.300 in the PPC platform and our four core values I believe I espouse them and um I'm excited to to

00:40:47.740 build the party and just to sort of start that uh long game forward in trying to help shift some

00:40:52.780 minds um in the direction of this really wonderful country that has nothing but potential and um I'm

00:40:57.660 very concerned about the direction of of things and where we're going so I figured why not step up

00:41:02.860 and and dive in and I can I can take the arrows because I've been training for it for eight months on

00:41:07.900 YouTube so bring it on I guess well Kelly I wish you the best of luck um you are bold and unafraid

00:41:16.020 to talk about difficult issues including personal issues things that are um personal and painful

00:41:22.000 for you um but you always do it in a way of compassion and understanding like I said that

00:41:27.240 sometimes I lack anyway we all have our roles I figure yeah I want to thank you for coming on the show

00:41:34.420 um I know you got to get to work um and you've been really generous with your time and I hope

00:41:39.980 that I don't have to wait until someone reminds me via a $10 super chat to have you back on this show

00:41:47.200 again sounds good well we'll keep in touch I'd be happy to come back on so maybe I'll have you on

00:41:51.620 someday do a bit of an up close and personal with Sheila Gunn-Reed sure thanks Kelly sounds good

00:41:56.560 have a good one hey you too

00:41:57.860 I wish Kelly the best of luck as she enters federal politics I think more normal people

00:42:15.040 need to get involved and I think Kelly knows what she's in for any conservative from any 0.95

00:42:20.540 conservative party by now should be well aware that the campaign against them will not be about

00:42:25.900 the issues or ideas but instead about character assassination and personal attacks but I think

00:42:32.120 Kelly's strong enough and grounded enough to handle it and I want to thank the super chatter that reminded

00:42:38.160 me to have Kelly back on my show I suppose the moral of the story here is that yes I do take
