Rebel News Podcast - Trudeau is bringing back the internet censorship section of Human Rights Act — and guess which side Scheer's Conservatives are on？

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. We've got a show today about something that's a little bit personal for me.

00:00:04.020 It's the Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act. You might recall that in the year 2013,

00:00:10.040 Stephen Harper repealed that. That's the censorship provision in the Human Rights Act.

00:00:14.220 It was a big campaign. I was part of it. Mark Stein was part of it.

00:00:20.020 Now the liberals are looking to redo it, to undo it, to revive it.

00:00:23.780 And there's just some terrible goings on in the parliamentary committee.

00:00:27.060 But the greatest part is not that the liberals, the worst part, it's not that the liberals want it back.

00:00:33.620 It's that the conservatives don't seem to be fighting it.

00:00:37.320 I'll tell you more about that in a minute.

00:00:39.960 Can you just go to the rebel.media slash shows, the rebel.media slash shows,

00:00:53.080 And the big bonus to you is you get the video version of this podcast.

00:00:59.200 And I want you to see the people we're talking about here.

00:01:02.260 So go to the rebel.media slash shows, eight bucks a month.

00:01:05.360 You also get Sheila Gunn-Reed's show and David Menzies' show. It would be great if you did that.

00:01:08.560 All right. Without further ado, here is our show today.

00:01:11.920 It's about Section 13 of the Human Rights Act.

00:01:13.740 You're listening to a rebel.media podcast.

00:01:18.260 Tonight, Justin Trudeau moves quickly to revive the old censorship provision of the Human Rights Act that Stephen Harper repealed.

00:01:25.600 Guess which side Andrew Scheer is on.

00:01:28.080 It's June 3rd, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:32.740 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:36.180 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:40.520 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so.

00:01:52.140 Censorship is coming back to Canada. Now, you knew that.

00:01:55.640 It's probably our number one topic on this show over the past year, but it's coming back in a very specific, symbolic way today.

00:02:01.560 Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act, the Internet Censorship Provision of that law that was abolished when Stephen Harper was Prime Minister back in 2013.

00:02:11.760 That specific censorship provision is being studied by Justin Trudeau's government, and I can assure you they will revive it.

00:02:18.900 Because not only do they obviously like censorship, and they are moving on censorship in a number of fronts,

00:02:24.620 but back in 2013, every single liberal MP and every NDP MP2, except one liberal, an independent-minded liberal MP from Newfoundland named Scott Sims,

00:02:38.040 who actually used to be a journalist himself, so maybe he values freedom of speech,

00:02:41.680 every single opposition MP except Scott Sims voted to save Section 13 back in 2013 when Harper repealed it.

00:02:50.020 So yeah, the liberals are going to bring it back absolutely.

00:02:52.640 They're censoring the world in a whole lot of ways.

00:02:56.060 They don't actually need Section 13 of the Human Rights Act back.

00:03:00.240 Their most effective censorship is outsourcing it through privately pressuring social media companies to censor for them.

00:03:07.800 There's no trace of their fingerprints that way, but they want Section 13 back anyways because it comes with its own police force,

00:03:15.340 they like the bullying of it, and they like the victory lap of this for undoing something that Harper did.

00:03:21.260 Just a reminder of Section 13 in my own experience with it, I'll mention to you too.

00:03:26.560 It's been nearly a dozen years since a Danish newspaper published a handful of cartoons depicting the Muslim prophet Mohammed.

00:03:33.620 I won't use the word mocking Mohammed because, as you can see by these 12 actual cartoons,

00:03:39.600 this is the actual Yilin's Post and newspaper, most of them didn't mock him at all.

00:03:43.780 Some were bland, some were stylized, some mocked the newspaper itself for publishing them.

00:03:47.720 I'd say only two of these were anywhere near critical.

00:03:50.980 You see the one in the middle, you have that one there, that shows Muslim women in a burqa just with a slit for their eyes while the male jihadist's eyes are blacked out.

00:04:00.240 I'd say that's critical of the place of women in Islamic society, of the prevalence of Muslim violence. 1.00

00:04:05.920 And the most iconic, I think, is this one by Kurt Vestergaard, of a turban in the shape of a bomb. 0.81

00:04:13.640 I'm not sure if either of those could be called mocking.

00:04:16.100 I'd say they're critical.

00:04:17.920 There's a bit of difference, but so what?

00:04:19.720 You can mock, you can criticize, you can challenge, you can even hate a religion or its religious leaders or prophets.

00:04:27.340 If you're free, you can even hate God.

00:04:29.680 But Islam is a religion. 0.95

00:04:32.800 It's a very militant religion.

00:04:34.300 Sometimes it's a very political religion, at least in many of its expressions.

00:04:38.680 Everybody mocks Scientology and its second in command, this guy.

00:04:44.840 Half of television mocks Christianity on a regular basis.

00:04:49.240 Half of Hollywood mocks Judaism.

00:04:51.740 And it's often Jews who do it. 1.00

00:04:53.200 Here's Woody Allen mocking Judaism, caricaturing it, criticize religion, whatever it's part of freedom.

00:04:59.940 You can criticize any idea in the West.

00:05:02.620 Communism, capitalism, environmentalism.

00:05:05.500 And the idea, except Islam, it seems. 1.00

00:05:08.480 A lot of Muslim pressure groups have been invited by the liberals to argue for this censorship.

00:05:13.000 This is a list of all the witnesses invited to make the case.

00:05:17.660 Other ethnic lobby groups are on there, too.

00:05:19.500 I find this odd, as I personally believe in judging people as individuals.

00:05:24.100 The idea that every single person of a particular ethnicity shares the same view on censorship is not only obviously false, but it's bizarre.

00:05:33.600 And it's infantilizing as it divides us.

00:05:37.500 Obviously, I know plenty of Muslims who believe in free speech.

00:05:39.860 Here's one of my favorites, a Muslim man who did dare to mock Islam or whatever. 1.00

00:05:45.800 Remember this? 0.96

00:05:47.060 I've got so sick of the God I'm But Brigade.

00:05:50.040 And now, the moment somebody says, yes, I believe in free speech, but I stop listening.

00:05:55.180 You know, I believe in free speech, but people should behave themselves.

00:06:08.260 I believe in free speech, but we shouldn't upset anybody.

00:06:11.500 I believe in free speech, but let's not go too far.

00:06:15.180 The point about it is the moment you limit free speech, it's not free speech.

00:06:19.560 The point about it is that it's free.

00:06:24.080 That's a good point.

00:06:25.700 Yeah, so these Muslim lobby groups speak for all Muslims.

00:06:30.680 No more than Jewish lobby groups speak for all Jews.

00:06:34.780 And until about a decade ago, Jewish lobby groups did uniformly support this same censorship.

00:06:40.100 It's funny.

00:06:41.240 Canada's hate speech laws were brought in, really, if you study the history of them,

00:06:45.580 they were especially, this federal hate speech law in the Ontario version,

00:06:49.680 they were brought in because of Holocaust survivors who came to Canada.

00:06:54.740 In the 60s and 70s, they were sick of a handful of kooks in Canada with no power,

00:07:00.820 droning on literally by themselves in a public park. 0.85

00:07:04.080 About Jews and Nazis, they were harmless, but they were irritating. 1.00

00:07:09.600 But life can be irritating.

00:07:11.760 We don't destroy a thousand years of the rule of law, 500 years of free speech.

00:07:14.740 It's because someone is being distasteful to victims of the Holocaust.

00:07:17.740 And now, wouldn't you know it, the Jews brought in the law to silence Holocaust deniers.

00:07:22.880 Well, now those who hate Jews, especially Islamic extremists,

00:07:27.940 are using the very laws brought in to appease the Jewish community. 0.68

00:07:30.880 They're using those laws now against the Jewish community and Jews' allies.

00:07:35.280 That's how the law was used against Mark Stein.

00:07:37.480 His name sounds Jewish, but he's not, actually.

00:07:39.060 A Muslim extremist group filed a complaint against Mark Stein in the federal and Ontario and BC Human Rights Commissions.

00:07:47.240 Identical complaints, triple jeopardy, if you will.

00:07:49.400 And, of course, I myself was prosecuted for 900 days in Alberta by a Muslim extremist for the same sort of thing.

00:07:56.360 That's the thing about the law.

00:07:57.580 What comes around goes around, or precedent, as it's called in Latin.

00:08:01.960 So, stare decisis.

00:08:03.420 So, back to Parliament.

00:08:05.240 The liberals are obviously going to bring back this provision.

00:08:08.060 Let me read you the text of Section 13, just in case you've forgotten it.

00:08:11.540 So, you know how odious the law is, how bizarre it is.

00:08:14.240 It was illegal, under Section 13 of the Human Rights Act, until Stephen Harper repealed it,

00:08:19.660 to publish anything that was, quote,

00:08:23.000 likely to expose a person or persons to hatred or contempt.

00:08:29.260 Likely to.

00:08:30.020 So, maybe it would, maybe it wouldn't, but it isn't doing so right now, but it could in the future.

00:08:35.680 Likely to.

00:08:36.380 Likely to expose a person to hatred or contempt.

00:08:39.760 What does that even mean?

00:08:40.940 Those are feelings.

00:08:42.500 Not expose a person to a punch.

00:08:43.980 That's a real assault.

00:08:45.020 But, under this law, I could say something that could cause another person to have hard feelings.

00:08:53.060 So, there's no objective test.

00:08:54.360 That's the law.

00:08:54.880 It's a feelings test.

00:08:55.620 Did you say something that caused someone else to have hard feelings about another person?

00:08:59.860 Sorry, that's not quite it, because remember, the future part.

00:09:03.040 Did you publish something on the internet somewhere that could, in the future,

00:09:08.040 be likely to cause someone to have feelings about someone else?

00:09:10.940 It will not surprise you to learn that this law had a 100% conviction rate

00:09:15.660 for the first quarter century of its existence.

00:09:17.720 Because, what's the defense?

00:09:20.800 No, I didn't do anything that caused a feeling of hate?

00:09:23.660 The law says you just have to maybe, in the future, cause that feeling.

00:09:29.720 So, it's not necessary for anything to actually happen.

00:09:33.160 And cause hate.

00:09:33.980 What does that mean?

00:09:34.560 Cause someone to feel a feeling?

00:09:36.660 Don't we all feel feelings all the time?

00:09:39.740 Sometimes good feelings, sometimes bad feelings.

00:09:41.440 And aren't both actually natural?

00:09:42.680 I mean, are you no longer allowed to have hard feelings about things?

00:09:48.160 You're not allowed to have the feeling of hate anymore, about anything, ever?

00:09:53.160 Even if they're hateful things?

00:09:54.760 The world has some hateful things in it.

00:09:56.520 Are we supposed to love things that are evil, as much as we love things that are good? 0.98

00:10:00.420 Yeah, regulating feelings is even stupider than regulating words.

00:10:06.220 What could a possible legal defense be to this? 0.96

00:10:08.660 Truth?

00:10:08.980 Truth is a defense to a defamation lawsuit.

00:10:12.600 I said something mean about that politician, but it's true.

00:10:15.780 Okay, it's allowed.

00:10:16.620 That's a legal defense in a real court, but not here in this kangaroo court, right?

00:10:21.720 What's truth got to do with hurt feelings?

00:10:24.080 How about fair comment?

00:10:26.320 How about honest belief?

00:10:27.440 How about a religious belief?

00:10:28.620 Those are all defenses to various idea crimes found elsewhere in our law, including the criminal court.

00:10:34.020 How about not even meaning to do harm?

00:10:36.000 As you may know, to be convicted of a crime, there must be a guilty mind, a mens rea, as it's called in Latin.

00:10:43.140 So not only if you didn't do anything, but even if you didn't mean to do anything, you're trapped by Section 13 of the human rights law.

00:10:51.680 And nothing happened.

00:10:52.380 Well, you could still be guilty, guilty, guilty.

00:10:54.380 No other court would convict you, but this human rights kangaroo court would.

00:10:57.460 And it's not even a real court.

00:10:59.480 There's no proper legal procedures.

00:11:01.060 It's not run by a judge.

00:11:02.440 There's no proper disclosure, et cetera.

00:11:04.420 There's about 20 ways it's inferior to a real.

00:11:06.340 It's a kangaroo court.

00:11:07.260 So they're thinking of bringing that back.

00:11:11.180 And one of the pro-censorship lobbyists that they brought in to testify in support of this is someone called Faisal Khan Suri.

00:11:18.240 He's a Muslim lobbyist from Alberta.

00:11:20.300 He doesn't want to just ban speech that has the wrong feelings, it sounds like.

00:11:25.480 You listen to me.

00:11:26.900 You listen to this, sorry, and tell me.

00:11:29.120 Doesn't this sound like he actually wants to ban feelings itself?

00:11:34.900 You tell me.

00:11:35.340 The moment of freedom of speech or freedom of expression puts another group, organization, or an individual in any form of danger,

00:11:45.640 it can no longer be justified as freedom of speech or expression.

00:11:50.800 This is now freedom of hate, which has no place in the Acadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, nor in any pluralistic society that we live in.

00:12:01.160 Yeah, brother, if we could just pass the Love Each Other Act of 2019.

00:12:05.960 We'd all be living in a utopia.

00:12:08.380 But alas, that won't happen until Jesus comes back.

00:12:10.860 In the meantime, we just have to live with each other here and our emotions.

00:12:15.180 And banning hate just won't work.

00:12:17.840 And frankly, I think that some of the more excitable parts of the Muslim community could probably use some work, too. 1.00

00:12:23.340 Not just that guy's enemies on the Internet.

00:12:25.420 But this Faisal Suri particularly linked hate with murder.

00:12:30.460 And he linked murder to conservatives.

00:12:33.040 Of course he did.

00:12:34.700 And a conservative on the Justice Committee named Michael Cooper, an MP from St. Albert, he didn't like that much.

00:12:40.920 Here, listen to this three-minute interaction.

00:12:43.740 Suri makes his points.

00:12:44.960 And actually, he has a fairly reasonable tone of voice to him.

00:12:48.480 But listen to him specifically say that conservatives were to blame, conservative ideas were to blame for terrorism.

00:12:56.320 It's pretty quick.

00:12:57.480 And frankly, it is not his biggest point.

00:12:59.180 But that's stuck in the craw of Michael Cooper, conservative MP.

00:13:03.040 Here, listen to the exchange.

00:13:03.920 Thank you, Mr. Chair, for having us.

00:13:07.440 My name is Faisal Khan Suri.

00:13:08.500 I'm the president of the Alberta Muslim Public Affairs Council, AMPAC.

00:13:12.100 I'm getting the gist of things now.

00:13:14.020 To say it quite mildly, online hate influences real-life hate.

00:13:19.020 To be quite blunt about this, online hate is actually an enabler, a precursor,

00:13:24.840 and a deep contributor to not just real-life hate, but to murder.

00:13:29.260 I think we've seen a lot of recent tragedies that have happened across the world.

00:13:35.140 In January 2017, in Quebec City, mosque killer Alagandre Bissonnette gunned down six Muslim men,

00:13:40.160 in execution style, where he came into the mosque with two guns and fired more than 800 rounds.

00:13:46.800 The evidence from Bissonnette's computer showed he repeatedly sought content about anti-immigrant,

00:13:51.780 alt-right, and conservative commentators, mass murderers, U.S. president of Donald Trump,

00:13:56.800 and about the arrival of Muslims, immigrants, southern Quebec.

00:13:59.600 Thank you very much, and we'll now move to questions.

00:14:01.780 Mr. Cooper.

00:14:02.460 Thank you, Mr. Chair.

00:14:03.960 First of all, Mr. Suri, I take great umbrage with your defamatory comments

00:14:10.400 to try to link conservatism with violent and extremist attacks.

00:14:18.260 They have no foundation, they're defamatory, and they diminish your credibility as a witness.

00:14:24.880 And let me, Mr. Chair, read into the record the statement of Brendan Tarrant,

00:14:32.740 who was responsible for the Christchurch massacre.

00:14:36.340 He left a 74-page manifesto in which he stated,

00:14:40.220 And I certainly wouldn't attempt to link Bernie Sanders to the individual who shot up Republican

00:15:01.280 members of Congress and nearly fatally killed Congressman Scalise.

00:15:07.320 So you should be ashamed.

00:15:08.720 Now, with respect, with respect,

00:15:11.940 I do not, I have this speech in front of me, Mr. Chair,

00:15:18.780 and there's nothing linking conservatism to that movement.

00:15:21.380 If alt-right is limited to conservatism, that's conservative's issue.

00:15:24.280 He said, he said,

00:15:24.660 We're going to ask, um, we're just going to ask everyone to, who is not part of the committee to, uh, leave the room for a very brief period of time.

00:15:36.840 And we will have you come back in as soon as possible.

00:15:40.320 And then we apologize for taking away, uh, your time.

00:15:46.600 Uh, it was important for the committee to discuss and, and deal with the issue.

00:15:50.100 So I'm going to give the floor back to Mr. Cooper.

00:15:51.740 Uh, well, well, thank you, Mr. Chair.

00:15:54.700 And, um, uh, while I certainly find the comments made by Mr. Suri to, to, to be deeply offensive and objectionable and vehemently disagree with, uh, with them,

00:16:06.140 I, I will withdraw saying that he should be ashamed.

00:16:09.960 That was not unparliamentary, uh, but I understand it made some other members of the committee uncomfortable.

00:16:15.840 So in the spirit of moving forward, I withdraw those specific comments.

00:16:19.800 But certainly not the rest of what I said.

00:16:23.620 Listen, I get it.

00:16:24.540 I get Michael Cooper pushing back.

00:16:25.940 I get him saying, shame on you.

00:16:27.520 I mean, the guy pretty much did blame conservatives for murder.

00:16:31.480 And Cooper is not only an ideological conservative, but it's his party name too.

00:16:35.800 He said the witness should be ashamed of himself.

00:16:37.860 I don't know.

00:16:38.300 I don't, I don't think that witness is capable of shame.

00:16:40.980 I might've chosen a different zinger than Cooper did, but fair enough. 0.99

00:16:44.340 I thought it was very effective for Cooper to read into the record what the actual terrorist

00:16:49.660 in New Zealand said, because Suri claimed the terrorist was a conservative.

00:16:53.500 The terrorist said very clearly that he was not.

00:16:56.360 I thought that was important and useful, but apparently not.

00:17:00.600 I mean, of course the rest of the MPs, all the liberals had a freak out.

00:17:03.940 They're not used to a conservative who actually fights back.

00:17:05.860 But Andrew Scheer, well, he's not a fighting back kind of conservative himself, is he?

00:17:11.260 And in fact, he's, the only fighting Scheer seems to have done on this issue is fighting

00:17:15.120 with Cooper.

00:17:16.440 Scheer phoned up Cooper and fired him from the justice committee where he was co-chair and

00:17:21.380 obviously ordered him to apologize because he did.

00:17:23.900 He said, earlier this week at the justice committee, I interpreted comments by witness

00:17:28.980 Faisal Khansuri as linking mainstream conservatism with violent extremism. 0.59

00:17:33.760 In response, I quoted the words of a white supremacist, anti-Muslim, mass murderer in an ill-advised

00:17:39.120 attempt to demonstrate that such acts are not linked to conservatism. 0.76

00:17:42.620 I absolutely should not have quoted these words, nor named the perpetrator.

00:17:46.540 This was a mistake.

00:17:47.720 I apologize to Mr. Suri and all Canadians.

00:17:49.860 I reiterate that I unequivocally condemn all forms of racism.

00:17:54.620 I have spoken to my leader, Andrew Scheer, and we have agreed that I will no longer sit

00:17:57.800 on the justice committee.

00:17:58.640 Yeah, that reads about as naturally as a hostage reading a message to someone to pay a ransom,

00:18:06.820 didn't it?

00:18:07.180 Cooper didn't write that.

00:18:09.000 Scheer's office obviously did.

00:18:11.120 Help me out.

00:18:12.000 What exactly was the problem that was identified there?

00:18:15.420 That Cooper quoted a terrorist?

00:18:18.920 He didn't quote a terrorist in support of the terrorist.

00:18:21.380 He quoted the terrorist because Suri claimed that the terrorist said he was inspired by conservatives,

00:18:27.100 said the terrorist himself, said the opposite.

00:18:29.000 How is that not appropriate to correct?

00:18:31.080 It's right on point.

00:18:32.480 He wasn't quoting with approval or admiration.

00:18:34.900 He was quoting for accuracy, defending himself and other conservatives from being smeared by

00:18:39.500 this guy.

00:18:40.580 Such weird wording there.

00:18:42.580 Oh, and I should not have named him.

00:18:44.820 Why?

00:18:45.380 Is it like a magic spell if you say his name?

00:18:49.120 And here's Andrew Scheer, who made simultaneous tweets.

00:18:51.680 He said, I have spoken with Michael Cooper about comments he made at the Justice Committee

00:18:55.020 earlier this week.

00:18:56.200 Having taken the time to review the incident, I have informed him that he will no longer

00:19:00.540 sit on the Justice Committee as a consequence.

00:19:03.400 And reading the name and quoting the words of the Christchurch suitor, especially when directed

00:19:08.680 at a Muslim witness during a parliamentary hearing, is insensitive and unacceptable. 1.00

00:19:13.120 Mr. Cooper has apologized.

00:19:14.300 I accept his apology and I consider the matter closed.

00:19:18.000 Reading the name was insensitive?

00:19:19.840 You mean even saying the name of someone who the Muslim lobbyist himself had just misquoted,

00:19:26.560 is saying a name in public offensive, in a parliamentary deliberation, directed at a Muslim witness?

00:19:32.220 It was the Muslim witness who brought it up.

00:19:35.000 If it were directed at a non-Muslim witness, would it have been okay? 0.96

00:19:38.780 What on earth? 0.82

00:19:39.640 How bizarre is this?

00:19:40.840 And hang on.

00:19:43.060 Did Andrew Scheer actually think that by literally firing an MP from the committee over this non-incident,

00:19:48.020 did Andrew Scheer think it would solve a political problem?

00:19:51.860 What problem, by the way?

00:19:54.200 But of course it won't solve a problem.

00:19:55.560 It created a problem because now the world knows if you attack Scheer or his team or his

00:20:02.200 staff or anyone near him, he'll panic and he'll try to appease you.

00:20:06.720 He'll literally fire the vice chair of a committee because, well, I'm not even quite sure why.

00:20:12.060 The rationale there doesn't even make sense to me.

00:20:13.740 But my God, is it open season on conservatives now?

00:20:16.640 And wouldn't you know it, that same Muslim lobbyist has called for Cooper to be fired 0.77

00:20:24.620 from the party altogether as if he were a good faith critic, as if he would have accepted

00:20:29.440 apologies, as if any leftist in history has ever been satiated with an apology, as if

00:20:34.680 it doesn't just whet their appetite for more.

00:20:36.500 They know they can push Scheer around.

00:20:37.920 They smell blood.

00:20:38.500 They know they can make them accept their narrative, hand them a script, tell them to

00:20:42.080 read it, and they can actually get him to fire his staff and MPs and candidates.

00:20:47.620 He's just told the world that.

00:20:48.880 It's bizarre.

00:20:49.480 It shows he's afraid of everything.

00:20:51.720 We knew he was afraid of the CBC and other media.

00:20:54.020 He lets them bully him.

00:20:55.580 He lets them bully him into agreeing that the UN's Paris global warming scheme was the

00:20:59.860 bee's knees.

00:21:00.560 And so Scheer literally was pressured, I don't know if you remember, he was pressured live

00:21:05.700 on TV by Evan Solomon, doing a great job as an interviewer, pressured Andrew Scheer in

00:21:10.740 real time on TV to promise to abide by the Paris global warming scheme.

00:21:15.300 And Scheer caved in because he couldn't withstand the heat of a 90-second interview, and he didn't

00:21:19.580 have the personal constitution to resist the narrative.

00:21:21.700 Of course not.

00:21:22.440 For a decade, he was Speaker of the House of Commons.

00:21:24.420 He never had to answer a hard question.

00:21:26.300 He never had to engage in a tough debate.

00:21:28.120 He never had to face a media scrum.

00:21:29.520 He never had a tough campaign.

00:21:30.560 He won the conservative leadership a couple of years ago without a fight.

00:21:34.040 He was everyone's second or third or fourth or fifth or sixth choice.

00:21:36.980 I think he actually only won on the 13th or 14th ballot.

00:21:40.940 The guy's never fought before, so he's scared of fighting.

00:21:43.340 He was scared on global warming.

00:21:45.320 He's scared on immigration, and he's in a Scheer panic about being called an Islamophobe or

00:21:50.020 whatever.

00:21:50.500 I've got news for you, buddy.

00:21:51.660 They're going to call you that no matter what you do.

00:21:54.300 You can't control what they say about you.

00:21:56.320 You can only control yourself.

00:21:57.640 Scheer is literally letting his enemies decide what he and his team says and does and what

00:22:02.980 he reacts to.

00:22:03.700 It's terrifying to me because he's going to blow his 13-point lead in the polls in the

00:22:07.980 course of a campaign if he doesn't grow his spine, ASAP.

00:22:10.900 I mean, can you look at this and tell me what it means?

00:22:13.080 Look at this.

00:22:13.480 He tweeted this just the other day.

00:22:14.960 I mean, seriously.

00:22:15.620 Diversity is a product of our strength, and our strength is and ever has been our freedom.

00:22:23.920 What does that mean?

00:22:25.840 I didn't understand it when I heard it the first time from Justin Trudeau.

00:22:31.400 We need societies that recognize diversity as a source of strength, not as a source of weakness.

00:22:38.340 You know, we saw in Toronto a massive anti-Semitic protest over the weekend, the Al-Quds rally.

00:22:48.280 You know, we have honor murders in Canada, people being killed because they don't wear a hijab or a niqab. 1.00

00:22:53.320 I'm not sure if diversity without qualification is a strength.

00:22:57.760 I'm not sure about it, but I didn't believe it when Trudeau said it, and I don't believe it just because Andrew Scheer says it.

00:23:02.900 And I don't think it's going to turn any enemies of his into friends, is it?

00:23:06.720 Now, I agree with Scheer's other remarks in the past week that he believes in the inherent worth of every Canadian, regardless of race or religion or sex or whatever.

00:23:15.240 That was good stuff, talking about we're all children of God.

00:23:17.680 I thought that was actually a nice touch.

00:23:20.200 But that's never going to make the liberal stop saying mean things about him.

00:23:23.820 But still, it was fine when he said we're all equal in the eyes of God.

00:23:26.560 I thought it was really nice.

00:23:28.540 But what's with the buzzwords?

00:23:30.120 Diversity is our strength.

00:23:31.060 What does that mean?

00:23:31.540 What does it mean to fire an MP because he was defending himself against a lie, a calumny, that the New Zealand terrorists was actually conservative?

00:23:38.500 Why is that offensive?

00:23:39.980 Why is what Michael Cooper did in committee there a firing offense?

00:23:43.760 And what was the political math there?

00:23:46.920 That throwing Cooper to the wolves will somehow make those wolves not hungry anymore?

00:23:51.940 The liberals will stop calling you names now?

00:23:54.780 Now, in a way, who cares about the word salad?

00:23:57.220 Diversity is our strength.

00:23:58.340 And in a way, who cares about Michael Cooper?

00:24:00.520 He's obviously a politician who's decided that he would accept this humiliating apology and demotion in order to remain a conservative MP.

00:24:08.980 I really don't care about him.

00:24:11.360 He's made his choice, in a way.

00:24:13.100 What I do care about here is freedom of speech and Section 13.

00:24:16.380 I haven't seen the conservatives say a word against it.

00:24:20.860 Have you?

00:24:21.460 Other than Michael Cooper in his questions in committee, but he's gone now.

00:24:24.260 I haven't seen Andrew Scheer or his justice critic, Lisa Raitt.

00:24:28.740 I haven't seen him say a word against it.

00:24:31.060 If I've missed it, let me know.

00:24:33.240 I haven't seen Andrew Scheer or his democracy critic, Stephanie Cousy, say a word against Trudeau's other plans to ban fake news from Facebook.

00:24:41.660 I haven't seen Scheer talk about free speech or censorship at all in recent months.

00:24:45.600 Have you?

00:24:47.560 I think this new censorship rule will be rammed through without any opposition because I think Andrew Scheer believes that if he just stays quiet and doesn't make a fuss, he'll sail into victory this fall.

00:24:59.400 He's got a 13-point lead in the polls, after all.

00:25:01.480 Well, yeah, Andrew Scheer is about to have his first real campaign of his life, not just as leader, but ever, really.

00:25:09.000 He's going to be beaten so brutally by the press and by surrogates, he won't know what hits him.

00:25:14.920 The entire Unifor bailout media, the entire CBC propaganda arm, 100 foreign-funded third-party campaign groups, every environmental group, they're going to beat him black and blue.

00:25:24.760 And his grassroots allies, well, they will be censored on Facebook as fake news.

00:25:30.060 And I think there is a 51% chance that we'll be shut down here at the Rebel Tomb.

00:25:37.080 Yeah, if Andrew Scheer thinks that just smiling, that smile and saying diversity is our strength, he's going to win the election, I think he's wrong.

00:25:44.900 And I think worse than that, letting his enemies make him fire his own loyal soldiers.

00:25:50.420 Well, I think we've just seen a quick glimpse at a dire weakness that I'm sure his enemies have noted and will exploit mercilessly.

00:26:01.840 Stay with us.

00:26:02.680 But, you know, I actually gave him some real advice.

00:26:19.480 I said that if you actually say it louder, we've learned in the House of Commons, if you repeat it, if you say it louder, if that is your talking point, people will totally believe it.

00:26:27.680 Well, that drunk tweet video, seriously, she was in a bar in St. John's, that was not leaked to the media by some conservative bar goer who happened to see her.

00:26:39.280 That was actually published on purpose by McKenna's communications staff.

00:26:44.920 And not one of the 24 people on her communications team thought, yeah, boss, publishing a drunk tweet of you from a bar is probably not the best, especially when you're saying you just shout, shout, shout till people hear you.

00:26:58.760 Well, needless to say, after a few days, they took down the drunk tweet, but not before it was preserved for all time.

00:27:05.080 Take this as a cautionary tale, kids.

00:27:06.840 The Internet is forever.

00:27:07.960 Anyways, one of the new lines that they're shouting louder and louder is that it's no longer global warming.

00:27:15.460 It hasn't been called that for years.

00:27:17.380 It's no longer even climate change because, you know, people say, so what, climate changes all the time, or maybe it's not even changing.

00:27:23.800 Their new phrase is climate crisis, climate emergency, climate breakdown, and the braver souls call it climate apocalypse.

00:27:35.660 This isn't, I wish I was joking.

00:27:39.040 This is the new official line of the influential left-wing Guardian newspaper in the UK.

00:27:44.840 Now, what the UK does and what a private newspaper does, I suppose, is their own business.

00:27:49.080 But now the CBC, Trudeau's state broadcaster, and of course it was the CBC, senior CBC liberal Mark Critch, who was in that drunk bar with Catherine McKenna, Mark Critch.

00:28:00.420 The CBC has adopted the same vocabulary.

00:28:03.960 They will now use the hyper-political vocabulary of climate crisis and climate breakdown.

00:28:10.180 That's not a factual observation.

00:28:12.860 That's an interpretation.

00:28:14.140 That's a political view that the CBC will now normalize as the truth.

00:28:19.460 And if Catherine McKenna's right, if they just keep shouting it, maybe one day you'll believe them.

00:28:24.580 Joining us now via Skype from the Washington, D.C. area is our friend Mark Morano, the boss of ClimateDepot.com.

00:28:30.100 So, Mark, it's not global warming.

00:28:33.180 It's not climate change.

00:28:34.220 It's now a climate crisis.

00:28:36.060 How do you feel about that?

00:28:36.900 Well, what's interesting about this is the words climate crisis or climate emergency, they were left to the venue of the hardcore climate activists a decade or so ago.

00:28:49.220 I mean, I remember Barbra Streisand actually called it a climate emergency.

00:28:52.900 And we had a lot of fun.

00:28:53.840 When I worked in the United States Senate for Senator Inhofe, he would put up that and laugh that some Hollywood celebrity was calling global warming a climate emergency.

00:29:03.180 Al Gore has referred to the climate crisis.

00:29:06.080 But you were absolutely right, Ezra.

00:29:07.640 These were the words of the activists, of the base, of the campaigners, not the words of the media.

00:29:15.040 Now, the media, which went from global warming to climate change, and actually under President Obama, his science czar, John Holdren, called it global climate disruption.

00:29:25.640 But they have now succeeded in getting the organs of the state, the mainstream media, to follow suit, and this will have an impact.

00:29:35.440 Imagine now you're not a climate denier.

00:29:37.580 You are a climate emergency denier.

00:29:40.360 You're a climate crisis denier.

00:29:42.500 It's incredible.

00:29:43.820 It's incredible and it's powerful, especially on young people.

00:29:46.740 This will resonate.

00:29:47.440 If their parents don't tell them any different about the news and they think that the mainstream media is actual news and not activism, this will have an impact on these poor kids.

00:29:58.240 Yeah.

00:29:58.520 I mean, to call something a crisis or a breakdown or an emergency, I mean, there are some legal definitions of an emergency.

00:30:05.180 For example, under some state of emergency legislation, if a governor or a president, and we have similar laws in Canada, declares a state of emergency, it's a technical meaning that allows them to circumvent certain rules or deploy certain firefighters or aid without going through the normal processes.

00:30:25.720 So it has a technical meaning.

00:30:28.360 And if it were to be abused, a court could rule them and say, no, that's not an emergency.

00:30:33.180 You're abusing those powers.

00:30:34.160 So there is actually something that is legally called an emergency.

00:30:38.660 But this seems to be absolute dictionary definition, boy, who cries wolf.

00:30:44.340 Saying something that is not an emergency is an emergency.

00:30:48.760 It's as close to political fraud.

00:30:50.940 I don't believe there's such a thing as political fraud.

00:30:52.660 But it's downright propaganda.

00:30:54.860 It's embarrassing to me that prominent media like Canada's state broadcaster are just so willing to let themselves be used as repeaters of political propaganda.

00:31:09.320 I suppose I should say I'm not surprised anymore.

00:31:12.480 But even this is surprising to me.

00:31:14.400 Yeah, I mean, it surprised me even when the UK Guardian, it started a few years back.

00:31:20.840 CNN refused to have on any climate skeptics.

00:31:23.740 MSNBC did.

00:31:24.600 And then the L.A. Times said no letters to the editors from anyone dissenting on global warming.

00:31:29.280 We're not going to print it.

00:31:30.640 NBC News has come out and done it.

00:31:32.620 CBS News compared skeptics.

00:31:34.300 They're lead anchor to Holocaust deniers. 0.67

00:31:36.420 So in that vein, this is just the natural progression.

00:31:40.120 In the U.S., you know, a governor or a mayor can declare a state of emergency in the aftermath of a big tornado or a hurricane or a flood, a natural disaster.

00:31:48.900 And that actually makes sense.

00:31:50.400 A locally affected area, a state, a city, a county that's massively affected, houses destroyed, travel, disruption, electricity, that is a state of emergency.

00:32:00.020 You can understand that.

00:32:00.900 But they're now trying to say that the entire state of our climate is an emergency, and they're saying it for the express political reason of carbon taxes and U.N. treaties and other regulations.

00:32:12.000 This is pure, absolute, fraudulent propaganda.

00:32:15.760 Now, there's propaganda, and then there's fraudulent propaganda.

00:32:18.400 This is fraudulent.

00:32:19.960 I mean, this is from beginning to end.

00:32:21.420 Not only is there no climate crisis, and certainly Canada wouldn't be under the impact.

00:32:25.700 You know, you guys could probably use a little warming, as many Canadians have told me over the year.

00:32:29.780 But this is, this is, it's incredible that it's gotten this far.

00:32:33.640 But you also are telling us what's probably coming to the U.S.

00:32:36.200 We're probably less than a year away from the New York Times and the Washington Post and the major CNN and everyone else following suit with this kind of language.

00:32:45.760 Because words mean things.

00:32:47.720 And this is meant to scare people and propagandize them.

00:32:52.080 Yeah.

00:32:52.320 You know what?

00:32:53.180 You mentioned how it scares kids.

00:32:55.300 You're so right on that.

00:32:56.400 You and I have talked a couple times about that teenager, Greta Thunberg, who is, who personally has been a mental illness.

00:33:06.280 She's had mental illness.

00:33:07.400 She's had clinical depression.

00:33:08.980 She had suicidal thoughts.

00:33:10.540 And her parents and her PR managers sent her out to spread these extremely depressing suicidal thoughts.

00:33:19.080 We only have a few years to live.

00:33:20.920 Kids, there's no point in even going to school.

00:33:23.140 We're all going to die.

00:33:24.500 If you tell a child that we are in a crisis emergency breakdown, what's a kid to know different?

00:33:32.680 Especially if her own parents are telling her that.

00:33:34.680 I find that deeply troubling.

00:33:35.900 I want to switch gears to – sorry, go ahead and give me your thoughts on that and then I've got one more question.

00:33:40.100 It's a lie.

00:33:40.920 A kid is told an emergency is a car accident, a fire, a school.

00:33:46.400 You know, we have a fire drill.

00:33:47.560 You practice for emergencies.

00:33:49.420 The word emergency ceases to have its meaning if every day of your life you're living in an emergency.

00:33:54.020 That's the policies of a dictator declaring a police state where every day everyone's got to be on guard and you can usurp natural day-to-day powers.

00:34:03.380 If that's where they're going with this, they're trying to get legislation that wouldn't otherwise stand a chance in hell of passing by declaring it a climate emergency.

00:34:11.800 You're so right.

00:34:12.560 There's one more thing I've noticed and I pay close attention to the language because, I mean, as Catherine McKenna says, she repeats it often enough.

00:34:19.800 And if you don't listen to her the first time, she'll repeat it and just shout it, even shouting it drunken from a bar. 1.00

00:34:25.440 The Toronto Star, which is the largest newspaper in Canada by circulation, they absolutely have absorbed this language and are repeating it.

00:34:34.820 I don't know if you know this, Mark, but the Toronto Star has directly taken money from the Tides Foundation to run climate stories.

00:34:41.300 So they're not even pretending to be neutral anymore.

00:34:43.940 But they use this language.

00:34:45.900 They talk about an intense sense of emergency and the purpose of the emergency, I just want to read you this language and get your response to it, is to shift Canada's entire economy to battle climate change.

00:35:01.360 And that's similar language to Catherine McKenna, combat climate change, battle climate change. 0.70

00:35:06.600 They never say stop climate change.

00:35:09.840 They don't even say slow down climate change, let alone reverse climate change, because even they can't look at the camera with a straight face and say, if you pay my carbon tax, we will change the weather.

00:35:22.660 So it's all about the action of battling climate change.

00:35:26.460 Keep busy, keep active, keep paying those taxes, keep having these regulations.

00:35:32.120 We're never going to change the weather, but it's the struggle that counts.

00:35:36.040 And it's your sacrifice that counts.

00:35:38.400 This is a perpetual battle against a perpetual emergency.

00:35:42.040 We will never win it. 0.91

00:35:43.080 We're not even foolish enough to say that.

00:35:44.920 But pay your taxes anyways. 0.85

00:35:46.800 Battling climate change.

00:35:48.680 It's the verb there that's crazy to me.

00:35:52.900 It is.

00:35:53.900 And this is what their goal has been.

00:35:56.220 It's a perpetual.

00:35:57.340 It's what a lot of the liberals and anti-war activists accused the Bush, Cheney and Pentagon of after 9-11.

00:36:04.060 The perpetual war state, except they're actually doing it with climate.

00:36:07.980 They're trying to now make this just a chronic, permanent, long-term emergency.

00:36:14.940 And what's funny about this, if you go back to 2015 when they signed the U.N. Paris Agreement, they actually declared that we've done it.

00:36:20.860 We've come together.

00:36:21.620 We've saved the world.

00:36:22.560 John Kerry signed the treaty with his granddaughter on his lap for future generations.

00:36:27.300 They patted themselves on the back, huge celebrations in the U.N.

00:36:31.460 Now you fast forward four years later, and they're saying, we're all going to die.

00:36:35.840 We have tipping points again.

00:36:37.340 We need to act.

00:36:38.620 The U.N. Paris Agreement was woefully inadequate.

00:36:41.220 So their solution to past emergency no longer applies.

00:36:44.640 So all this is is to just keep ramping it up, ramping it up, declaring more emergencies, declaring more solutions, patting themselves on the back briefly,

00:36:52.300 and then saying that nothing was done and we need to do more.

00:36:55.300 It's a cycle.

00:36:56.580 And I just can't believe that otherwise intelligent people can't see through it across the country.

00:37:01.360 And I'm talking about voters and the politically, the political middle, because they're ultimately going to hold the key, both in Canada and the U.S.

00:37:10.360 and in many other countries, to the future of this policy. 0.97

00:37:13.140 And you just hope that they can see through such absolute crap tactics. 0.99

00:37:18.440 Yeah. 0.97

00:37:19.320 Listen, I want to shift gears a little bit.

00:37:20.860 But I did a story the other day on how the senior official in charge of fossil fuels in America.

00:37:26.980 First of all, I love the fact that his title includes the words fossil fuels, because that's anathema in places like Canada that are, you know, global warming, climate change, whatever.

00:37:38.420 But it was a it was a great press release that talked about freedom molecules and freedom gas being exported from Texas and Louisiana in LNG.

00:37:50.280 I think it was from Texas port Freeport, Texas.

00:37:53.760 There's now an LNG tanker that's going to Europe.

00:37:55.940 And I read that story and we did a little show on it.

00:37:58.800 I was just thrilled.

00:38:00.900 It's amazing how fast America has become a net exporter of energy.

00:38:06.720 And it's on all fronts, oil, coal, gas.

00:38:10.880 I never thought it would happen in my lifetime.

00:38:12.840 I thought America would be perpetually a net importer of energy because it looked that way as recently as five, 10 years ago.

00:38:19.180 So give us an update on what this means for the U.S. economy.

00:38:23.920 And this is going to make me very jealous to hear your answer, Mark, because that should have been Canada.

00:38:29.120 We have more oil and gas.

00:38:30.920 We have more oil than America.

00:38:32.200 We don't have more gas, but we have a lot of gas and we have a lot of coal.

00:38:35.620 Tell me how great it is down there in terms of the jobs, the economy, the exports, the growth.

00:38:39.820 Just to make me and my Canadians very jealous.

00:38:43.040 It has literally defied all predictions, expectations, wildest dreams so far.

00:38:48.140 Even – not Mario Cuomo, but Cuomo's son on CNN has actually said this is the strongest economy in like 50 years since they've been keeping unemployment statistics in the late 1960s.

00:39:00.360 Not only is unemployment the lowest it's ever been, but black, Hispanic unemployment has been the lowest.

00:39:05.960 Labor unions that normally have literally endorsed President Obama and Hillary Clinton wished to be president have met with President Trump in the White House supporting these energy initiatives.

00:39:17.000 They've come out now – I'm thinking of the Laborers International Union who supported the Canadian pipelines, who supported all sorts of energy extraction because that's what makes America work, especially at the blue-collar level, at the minority level, at the lower-income level.

00:39:36.320 This is absolutely the greatest increase we've seen in any president since at least the 1960s.

00:39:43.400 Nothing's come close.

00:39:44.760 And President Trump coming in and just ravaging President Obama's environmental regulations at the EPA and his crippling of coal, oil, gas has just unleashed it in a way that even he couldn't have expected.

00:39:56.960 So America is just cruising along at a very – the problem is it could all be undone quickly because the next president, including Joe Biden, they're going to come in with at least what Obama did, but it looks to be much, much worse if they win in 2020.

00:40:11.920 And they can do this all through executive order now because the EPA can regulate carbon dioxide as a pollutant.

00:40:17.480 That hasn't changed, and we can get back in the U.N. agreement and start stifling our energy.

00:40:22.680 But for right now, this is like the clouds have cleared and the sun is shining on America, energy independence and energy economy.

00:40:30.400 And it's an incredible thing to see.

00:40:32.280 You know what?

00:40:32.960 And I wish that we could say those same things in Canada.

00:40:35.800 We should be saying them between the oil sands and LNG and shipping oil and gas to Asia.

00:40:41.160 That should be us.

00:40:42.340 But we elected a substitute drama teacher.

00:40:44.300 I got one last question for you, and this really goes – I mean, 10 years ago, I wrote a book called Ethical Oil, and I wrote a follow-up about fracking called Groundswell.

00:40:55.120 And I made the case that it's great for Canada, great for the United States, but it's also great for countries around the world that would much rather buy their oil and gas from Canada, from the United States,

00:41:08.100 instead of from Gazprom, Vladimir Putin's controlled gas company, or any OPEC country.

00:41:16.020 And so it's not just great for Americans and great for Canadians, but India, for example.

00:41:21.820 They're a huge buyer of oil from Iran, or they have been historically.

00:41:26.520 India's going to buy oil no matter what.

00:41:28.140 They may as well buy it from us rather than from Iran. 0.91

00:41:30.640 And even China, even though it's in a trade war and a moral war against Canada and the U.S., I would rather – well, I don't know if they're a reliable customer, but Korea, Japan, Taiwan, India, Europe – I'd rather they bought our oil and gas than buy it from Russia and OPEC.

00:41:49.160 And I just really think America is helping the world, not just itself.

00:41:54.080 Do you see what I'm saying about freeing American allies from Gazprom or OPEC?

00:42:00.440 I do, and you're right.

00:42:01.700 It's actually a great phrase, ethical oil and ethical energy.

00:42:05.340 The United States has some of the strictest environmental regulations.

00:42:09.620 So any energy we produce here is going to be clean, efficient.

00:42:13.340 And actually, there's been research recently on carbon taxes to take an example.

00:42:16.980 The more the West, the industrialized West, Europe, Canada, the United States, tax carbon and increases taxes on CO2 and passes widespread carbon taxes, it means one thing, period, according to these new economic analysis.

00:42:31.400 The emissions will go up more because all you're doing is sending all that energy extraction and processing to countries that don't have the environmental technology, infrastructure, and regulations that we in the West here do.

00:42:45.800 So if you think, oh, well, let's cripple the U.S. economy, let's cripple our energy, let's cripple Canada, let's go after Europe, let's keep shutting down Germany and Europe, all you're doing is harming Mother Earth, to use their phrase.

00:42:58.880 And that's empirical data.

00:43:00.340 And actually, I did a speech recently, actually, a debate at University of Minnesota on this very point, showing all the factual data, showing that the more you regulate our energy in the capitalist West, the more you're going to have emissions as that energy is forced to go to places that are less efficient, less technology and less stringent regulations and less concern, if you will, about the Earth.

00:43:23.620 You know, I bet that would have been a great debate.

00:43:26.040 And when you have another public debate like that, let us know.

00:43:29.180 Maybe we'll send a cameraman.

00:43:30.820 I think you're a very able advocate for our side of the story.

00:43:35.100 Of course, we've had you on our show probably 100 times.

00:43:37.700 I would love to see you in a battle with a well-armed lefty, because I think that would be an amazing debate.

00:43:44.080 Next time you've got a debate like that one you just mentioned, let us know.

00:43:47.020 We'll send a camera.

00:43:47.700 All right. Thank you. I just got to testify two weeks ago to the House committee about this new U.N. species report.

00:43:55.100 And I got to go against Bob Watson, Robert Watson, the former U.N. IPCC head.

00:44:00.080 And I was so vicious with him.

00:44:01.940 I just I went through all his arguments, tipping points.

00:44:05.120 And the chair of the committee was a Democrat, interrupted my opening statement to admonish me for going after the credibility of the United Nations.

00:44:13.840 And I made sure that I went after them by name.

00:44:16.040 I didn't want I actually said in my testimony, this is not an argument against the big body.

00:44:21.000 And these, you know, they had three representatives of the U.N.

00:44:22.800 And I mentioned them by name.

00:44:24.620 You are the ones who are bastardizing science.

00:44:26.900 You are manipulating it.

00:44:28.320 You are doing it for United Nations lobbying purposes.

00:44:30.760 They went nuts.

00:44:31.680 And there have been article after article after article saying that I brought a World Wrestling Federation attitude to the hearing.

00:44:38.240 I believe it, by the way, and I'm glad you did.

00:44:40.600 We'll have to dig up that video.

00:44:42.380 Mark, listen, congratulations.

00:44:43.480 And speaking of climate crisis, I'm just admiring the gorgeous spring afternoon there in the Washington, D.C. area.

00:44:52.120 If that's a climate crisis, I'd like a helping of that.

00:44:55.440 Thanks, my friend.

00:44:56.080 Great to see you again.

00:44:56.860 Climate emergency.

00:44:57.980 Thank you.

00:44:58.520 All right.

00:44:58.820 Take care.

00:44:59.240 That's our friend Mark Morano from ClimateDepot.com.

00:45:02.040 We're going to have to try and dig up that testimony on Capitol Hill.

00:45:05.460 And like I say, if he's in a debate, we're going to catch it because I'd like to see him spar with the other side. 0.97

00:45:10.460 I pity the fool who goes against our friend Mark. 0.98

00:45:13.480 All right. 0.99

00:45:14.040 Stay with us.

00:45:14.840 More ahead on The Rebel.

00:45:15.560 Hey, welcome back on my monologue Friday about Catherine McKenna's very bad week.

00:45:30.160 Bruce writes,

00:45:30.900 Tonight's show was super gross. 0.97

00:45:33.820 McKenna's like fingernails on a blackboard. 0.94

00:45:35.760 The only good thing about what she and liberals are doing is alienating voters. 1.00

00:45:39.180 Yeah, I've noticed in recent days she has gone crazy on Twitter.

00:45:43.020 She's tweeting more than ever before. 0.90

00:45:45.940 It's always narcissistic.

00:45:47.680 She's always the hero of every story.

00:45:50.140 She just won't let the people take a break from her. 0.85

00:45:53.300 And I think that while that must feel good for her vanity, I don't think that's going to help the party.

00:45:59.440 If the face of the party is that shouty taxer who's just so, who we saw drunk saying,

00:46:05.760 Look, I just keep shouting until people believe me.

00:46:08.280 If that's the face of the liberals, I mean, she's in love with herself.

00:46:12.820 As you know, she hired that $6,000 fashion photographer to take pictures of her in Paris.

00:46:17.960 Yeah, I don't think the rest of us have the same high regard for her.

00:46:20.620 I think that's a bad decision for the liberals. 0.93

00:46:24.220 Norbert writes, Climate Barbie has now become Garbage Barbie. 0.94

00:46:28.200 I was stunned. 0.67

00:46:29.480 I mean, that's a perfect example.

00:46:31.840 Why did she weigh in at all on this disaster of the Philippine garbage ship coming back here?

00:46:36.940 I mean, why would she say that's a terrible story? 1.00

00:46:41.220 It's literally a stinking pile of garbage. 0.99

00:46:45.280 Imagine garbage that's been sitting and fermenting for two or three years. 1.00

00:46:49.080 You would think any sane politician would just want to run away from that. 0.96

00:46:52.440 But she tweeted, Anchors away! 0.91

00:46:54.940 She really, why?

00:46:56.660 Because she just can't stop herself.

00:46:59.200 And I love it.

00:47:01.180 Robert writes, The worst part of this is that once again, Canada is an international laughingstock.

00:47:05.680 So, yeah, listen, I mean, I think, as you probably know, Philippines are the number one and number two source of immigrants to Canada.

00:47:14.040 China is the other one, either number two or number one. 0.95

00:47:16.600 And everybody knows Filipino people because there's so many in Canada.

00:47:19.600 They're so friendly.

00:47:20.680 I don't want to stereotype.

00:47:21.580 But that's a friendly, happy country.

00:47:24.280 How do you get into a battle with the Philippines?

00:47:28.160 I mean, they're allies.

00:47:29.060 They're friendly.

00:47:29.800 They're Catholic.

00:47:30.980 They're hardworking.

00:47:31.820 They're industrious.

00:47:32.860 I mean, I know I'm engaging in an ethnic stereotype.

00:47:35.860 But permit me.

00:47:36.720 It's a positive ethnic stereotype. 0.99

00:47:38.220 Would you agree with me on that?

00:47:39.140 How do you get into a fight with the Philippines?

00:47:42.600 That takes great effort. 0.99

00:47:44.600 It takes a lot of cunning to turn the friendly, friendly country that loves Canada into, well, you heard Duterte, threatening war against us and saying, I'll send you the garbage back. 0.99

00:47:56.260 You can eat it. 0.98

00:47:56.900 I don't care.

00:47:57.720 That takes hard work.

00:47:59.360 I mean, just ignoring things would be better.

00:48:03.400 I think it took positive effort.

00:48:04.920 Oh, my God.

00:48:06.260 How do you do that?

00:48:07.000 Let's just go through.

00:48:07.600 You got Saudi Arabia.

00:48:09.140 You got China. 0.78

00:48:10.380 You got India. 0.99

00:48:11.400 You got Australia.

00:48:12.440 You got America laughing at us because they ate our lunch on NAFTA.

00:48:15.180 You got the Philippines. 0.81

00:48:17.020 I'm not saying these aren't tough problems.

00:48:18.960 Like handling China is a tough problem.

00:48:20.780 But it's funny how Stephen Harper managed to control China even though he was critical of them.

00:48:25.380 And it's funny how Stephen Harper, well, on his watch, Barack Obama didn't dare cancel the Keystone XL pipeline.

00:48:31.480 It was only after the pushover Trudeau came in that Obama canceled it.

00:48:35.040 It's funny how Harper had actually better relations with China, India, Saudi Arabia, even though he was rhetorically and morally stronger with them than that loser, Justin Trudeau, who has, he's got the reverse Midas touch.

00:48:51.120 He's got, he's got like the Oscar Mayer touch. 0.96

00:48:53.500 Everything he touches turns to baloney.

00:48:56.240 Folks, that's our show for today.

00:48:57.520 Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, goodnight.

00:49:00.880 Keep fighting for freedom when you still have it.

00:49:02.500 Thank you.
