00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. Today's show is about the CBC, which has some great advice for your family
00:00:05.480 vacation. And their advice is don't. I mean, come on, think about the CO2 emissions. Their advice
00:00:12.720 is don't. They don't have that advice for Justin Trudeau and his jet setting, though. I'll give you
00:00:18.260 the details. Hey, before I do, can you do me a favor and consider becoming a premium subscriber?
00:00:23.460 It's $8 a month or $80 a year if you buy in advance. And we'll even give you a discount
00:00:27.240 if you enter the coupon code podcast. You get the video version of the podcast, which I think is
00:00:32.580 pretty good. And you get access to Sheila Gunn-Reed's show and David Menzi's show. And it helps pay the
00:00:37.680 bills. You can do all that at the rebel.media slash shows. Think about it. All right, here's the
00:00:44.700 podcast. You're listening to a Rebel Media podcast. Tonight, CBC holds Justin Trudeau to account for
00:00:53.400 his weekly private jet vacations to B.C. Just kidding. They say you're the problem instead.
00:00:59.540 It's August 12th, and this is the Ezra LeVance Show.
00:01:03.680 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:07.400 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:11.480 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody
00:01:16.360 right to do so.
00:01:22.500 Hey, did you hear about that $20 million party that Google threw for the world's rich and famous
00:01:28.120 the other day in Sicily? All the fancy people were there. Katy Perry, the singer, Leonardo DiCaprio.
00:01:35.440 So the world's deepest thinkers, really. It's practically the same guest list from the Nobel
00:01:39.940 Prize for Physics Reception. They say that Prince Harry gave a speech there in bare feet. So you
00:01:47.340 know he must have meant it because bare feet is how you show you care about global warming,
00:01:52.120 even if, you know, you and your family are multiple homes and your American wife is a full-tilt 0.99
00:01:59.260 jet setter. You know, all the palaces. I know that Rex Murphy did a great column about this in the
00:02:05.180 National Post a little while back, and the British tabloids naturally love it. They love stories
00:02:09.300 about the royal family, the most privileged family in the country, pretending to be woke like Prince 0.94
00:02:13.880 Harry and his bride. But here's Forbes magazine. They love to track how the billionaires live. They
00:02:20.420 covered this Sicily get-together, too. Just scroll through this. Just look at this. Here's billionaire
00:02:25.240 David Geffen posing above his yacht. People, look, they might look like they're living enough, but don't
00:02:32.280 be deceived. That's what it looks like, saving the world from overconsumption, from using too much
00:02:38.540 fossil fuels, too many emissions. What comedy. But I couldn't find anything about this huge,
00:02:43.340 huge event on the CBC. I wonder why. Not a peep. Maybe because to criticize that big Google party
00:02:51.780 in Sicily about global warming would mean they wouldn't be invited to it. I wonder if they were
00:02:56.780 invited. The CBC's David Suzuki, he loves jet setting. He's probably not going to criticize richer and
00:03:03.620 famous or celebrities for doing the same thing. Let me know if you can find anything about it on the
00:03:07.920 CBC. I spent a fair bit of time searching for it, and I couldn't. That's odd. But then again,
00:03:14.140 the CBC would be setting a precedent to report on that kind of bad behavior. Maybe they'd have to
00:03:18.380 report on the lavish luxury lifestyle shown at all the global warming conferences, including at the
00:03:23.840 United Nations. Best not to open that Pandora's box, especially since Justin Trudeau and his jet setting
00:03:29.780 global warming minister, Catherine McKenna, are amongst the most profligate. You'll remember
00:03:34.320 McKenna actually hired a fashion photographer in Paris to snap pictures of her at a global warming
00:03:41.400 conference there. She spent $6,000 of your money getting fashion photos. Trudeau literally brought the 0.97
00:03:48.860 biggest delegation in the world to that same conference. Hundreds of grifters and scammers 0.87
00:03:54.980 and lobbyists. At least Google in Sicily was spending its own money. Trudeau spent your money. 0.95
00:04:00.760 Yeah, you can see why the CBC state broadcaster didn't report on that. So the CBC won't hold
00:04:05.280 the rich and powerful to account for Google, you know, the billionaire tycoons, or for politicians
00:04:11.100 living like billionaire tycoons, who will the CBC hold accountable? Well, you, of course, the government
00:04:19.240 broadcaster isn't very good at holding the government to account on behalf of the people, but
00:04:23.140 maybe you can hold the people accountable on behalf of the government. And so they are.
00:04:28.960 If you thought it through and you can't give up a particular trip, there are things you can still
00:04:35.380 do to minimize the impact of your air travel on the environment. That's the state broadcaster.
00:04:42.460 Who's the you there? If you've thought it through, who are they talking to?
00:04:46.120 Who are they talking to? They're talking to you. They're not talking to Justin Trudeau or
00:04:51.940 Catherine McKenna or the Google tycoons. The CBC state broadcaster can't hold the Canadian
00:04:57.700 government to account. They work for the Canadian government. They won't hold David Suzuki to
00:05:02.280 account or the billionaires at Google. So instead of holding the rich and powerful to account or even
00:05:07.020 just hypocritical politicians, it's you they're scolding. The government broadcaster will tell
00:05:12.260 you how to live. They'll make sure you're good enough for your rulers. They'll hold you to
00:05:18.080 account on behalf of your rulers. It used to be the reverse, but these days, really, are there even
00:05:22.800 any journalists left in Canada who aren't paid in one way or another by the government? Now that the
00:05:29.140 $600 million newspaper bailout is going through, we don't take a dime. Of course, we never will,
00:05:34.460 which is one reason they hate us in the government. Catherine McKenna, the global warming minister,
00:05:39.320 is probably the worst in the whole cabinet. I think she probably travels even more than the
00:05:44.240 foreign minister. She took a private jet the other day all the way up to the Arctic just to put out a
00:05:48.280 press release. You can do that from your office, sister. But how else can she tweet a picture of
00:05:54.140 herself fishing in the Beaufort Sea or whoever that was, the Arctic Ocean somewhere? Well, you know,
00:06:00.500 she has 24 staff who work on her social media. I'm not kidding when I say 24. Maybe one of them
00:06:05.680 could have given her some little tips like, you know, fishing in high heels isn't the wisest. 0.99
00:06:12.020 But then again, it doesn't look like there's any fishing line in the rod. It doesn't seem to be.
00:06:18.640 So I guess there's no risk of slipping in your high heels when you hook a big one
00:06:22.080 if there ain't no fishing wire in there. So what is the CBC's accountability journalism up to now?
00:06:28.480 Justin Trudeau flew from Ottawa to Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island and then back to
00:06:35.080 Ottawa and then back to Tofino and then back to Ottawa and then back to Tofino again and again
00:06:39.340 all summer. Not a peep from anyone in the media party about either the environment or the financial
00:06:43.880 cost. Here's Bob Mackin, one of the few independent journalists in this country. He's out there in BC.
00:06:48.980 He tried his best and Trudeau's answer was awful. And Mackin had a supplemental. Here, watch,
00:06:54.340 watch this exchange and maybe think, why didn't this very interesting exchange make it to CBC?
00:07:02.300 Hi, Prime Minister. Bob Mackin of Breaker.News. This is your fifth trip to British Columbia since
00:07:08.080 May 22nd. You've got a Cash for Access fundraiser tonight. You had two on May 22nd. You had one last
00:07:13.860 week in Victoria. You've been flying out at great frequency. I know there's an election approaching,
00:07:18.420 but by calculations of experts, it's more than 10,000 litres of fuel, jet fuel, to go back and
00:07:25.980 forth between Vancouver and Ottawa and about 20 tonnes of CO2. And you're also spending hundreds of
00:07:31.440 thousands of dollars, which would be for Canadians to find out, especially with access to information
00:07:36.720 and that system that you actually haven't improved as you probably would in 2015. Why isn't the Liberal
00:07:41.980 Party of Canada paying the entire bill of your trip so to British Columbia at this time?
00:07:47.480 First of all, we were pleased to transform our electoral fundraising system at the federal level
00:07:53.640 to demonstrate a greater degree of transparency and openness than ever in the past. And we've
00:07:59.620 continued to encourage the Conservative Party and the NDP to follow the new rules put down,
00:08:05.800 including proactively inviting the media to come attend our public fundraisers that are held
00:08:11.540 in public locations. These are things that we've made so that Canadians can continue to have
00:08:17.880 confidence in the electoral financing. Secondly, as you know, as Canadians know, BC is a second home
00:08:25.660 to me. This is a part of the country that matters deeply. And too often, decisions made in Ottawa have
00:08:33.420 negative impacts here in BC when people aren't connected here on the ground. Perfect example of this
00:08:39.240 was the Harper government's decision to shut down the Kitts Coast Guard base, which was something
00:08:45.380 that left all Vancouverites of all different political stripes scratching their heads, wondering
00:08:51.320 how people could so not know how important this base is to Vancouver, to people across the lower
00:08:58.900 mainland. So these are the kinds of things that means we have to have a federal government
00:09:03.580 government that is here and present and going to continue to engage with.
00:09:11.420 And working with them, this is an important part of the prime minister, and I'm very happy
00:09:18.040 to be here as prime minister in British Columbia, which is a second home to me.
00:09:23.800 Prime Minister Stephen Harper is not the prime minister right now.
00:09:26.340 What about the costs, the cost of this trip and why the Liberal Party isn't paying? Can you at least say how much
00:09:34.180 the cost is to taxpayers for this current trip, which includes tax, which includes a fundraiser, which also
00:09:39.940 included your time off in Tofino? How much are taxpayers paying for these?
00:09:44.100 The prime minister has a responsibility to be prime minister for all Canadians, and that is part of why I spend an awful lot of time getting out there and meeting with Canadians, listening to them, being
00:09:57.700 at important events like this. It is, in fact, one of the best parts of my job to get out and meet with Canadians right across the country, whether it's town halls, where we have an opportunity to take questions from the general public and actually respond to those questions in a way that no other part of the country will be.
00:10:13.940 Party leader does, whether it's coming out for important announcements that demonstrate that the cuts that conservatives consistently put forward end up harming our environment and harming Canadians.
00:10:26.000 These are the kinds of things that make a big difference in people's lives, and that's why I'm so glad to be back here in B.C.
00:10:32.180 Questions about your spending, sir. Questions about your spending. Please answer about your spending, sir.
00:10:36.560 Hi, Prime Minister.
00:10:37.080 You want to Canadians? 0.87
00:10:38.500 Yeah, that's too much accountability there, Bob. You've had too much to think, sir.
00:10:43.160 Now fill out your grant application like the rest of the media party does and shut up. 0.68
00:10:49.040 So back to the CBC's advice. It's not advice to Catherine McKenna, the great Fisher person.
00:10:53.500 It's not to Justin Tofino. It's advice to you. I mean, really, you have to be better. I'm sorry, you're not good enough.
00:11:01.820 What, do you fly a couple times a year? I think the average Canadian probably flies a couple times a year, maybe for a family event like a wedding, maybe for a business trip.
00:11:08.800 But I think the average Canadian only flies rarely. It's actually, for most people, a luxury to save up for.
00:11:14.680 I'm lucky. I get to travel for journalism.
00:11:16.460 But most Canadian families travel maybe a couple times a year. By jet, I mean. People drive a lot. But to fly somewhere, it's a special thing.
00:11:24.940 But to the CBC, well, they're here to tell you you're the problem.
00:11:30.860 Air travel emits a lot of carbon, but there are ways to fly more responsibly, people.
00:11:34.620 I mean, come on. Will you citizens stop being so irresponsible?
00:11:39.620 Not a word about the Google jet set. Not a word about Justin Trudeau and Tofino.
00:11:44.800 It's you, people. It's you, peasants. 0.99
00:11:48.260 Oh, and they found an expert because I'm interested, like you are, in hearing what a government expert from a government university
00:11:54.460 has to tell the government broadcaster about what I do on my family time.
00:11:58.740 Let me quote. Ryan Katz-Rozine, a University of Ottawa professor who studies sustainable transportation,
00:12:06.680 recognizes there are lots of benefits of travel and specifically flying.
00:12:10.140 But he said the need to act on climate change, quote, does warrant asking ourselves whether a family vacation
00:12:16.880 that requires traveling thousands of kilometers by plane is really necessary
00:12:20.600 and whether the benefits of a given trip can be achieved without flying.
00:12:24.860 I mean, what are really the benefits of going to a wedding?
00:12:27.340 Your family vacation. I mean, really?
00:12:30.680 So they have some tips for you, of course, not for Trudeau.
00:12:34.660 I mean, he flies in a private jets.
00:12:37.520 I mean, we've shown you, and I know this is impossible to believe, but here are the actual documents
00:12:41.400 that the catering, that is the food and wine on Trudeau's flights can be $100,000 per flight.
00:12:48.320 I don't even know how that's possible unless everyone got like a pound of caviar and a bottle of Dom Perignon.
00:12:53.540 But even that wouldn't add up to $142,000.
00:12:56.540 How do you spend $142,000 on food for one flight? Trudeau does.
00:13:01.980 But he's the CBC's boss, so they don't have advice and tips for him.
00:13:06.100 Their advice is for you.
00:13:08.180 Fly economy.
00:13:09.400 Extra legroom comes at more than a financial cost.
00:13:12.300 A first-class ticket can generate two to four times the emissions of an economy-class ticket
00:13:16.280 because packing more passengers in each plane increases efficiency.
00:13:19.860 Some airlines, like Sunwing and UK-based EasyJet, offer only economy seats.
00:13:25.280 Oh, and can you please pay from your own wallet for offsets, as in give the money to someone who says
00:13:31.440 they're going to do something really environmental with us, something, something,
00:13:34.820 pay someone somewhere to ride a bike or something, something is sort of a moral penance for you flying.
00:13:40.620 Let me quote.
00:13:40.960 So consider buying offsets.
00:13:43.120 Many airlines give you the option to buy offsets.
00:13:45.700 That is, invest in projects that reduce carbon emissions, such as tree planting or green energy.
00:13:50.760 In theory, that can help counterbalance the impact of your emissions.
00:13:53.600 But experts warn that offset programs are not always effective and may inadvertently encourage people to fly more.
00:14:00.120 So you got it, you little people, you mere citizens, you taxpayers?
00:14:03.660 You got to pay a carbon tax, and you should pay money to some offset scam.
00:14:08.180 But Trudeau can fly as much as he likes because he's Trudeau, and you're not, and you'd better not think too big.
00:14:15.580 And that family vacation, that family reunion will rethink it.
00:14:18.840 I mean, know your place, you peasant. 0.99
00:14:23.140 When it comes to reducing the carbon output of aviation, avoiding flights as much as possible is still the best option.
00:14:28.560 We'll have more soon on how the airline industry can reduce its emissions.
00:14:31.800 Okay, talk to you soon.
00:14:33.600 You know, it's a simple rule of thumb when it comes to environmentalists.
00:14:36.700 I'll believe that they believe that we're in a climate crisis.
00:14:42.860 When they start acting like it, when you take a private jet to Sicily and then sail on your $100 million yacht while talking about reducing carbon emissions,
00:14:51.920 I know you're not serious.
00:14:53.200 When you take a private jet up to the Arctic to put out a press release and a photo, I know you're not serious.
00:14:58.660 When you take a private jet to Tofino half a dozen times a year, I know you're not serious.
00:15:02.100 I know you don't believe it.
00:15:03.360 We all know you're not serious.
00:15:04.500 We all know it's a scam.
00:15:06.380 The CBC knows it too, but they're all in on it, which is why they've decided to make you and me the only ones who have to have a smaller, unhappier life.
00:15:16.280 I mean, come on.
00:15:17.580 Do you really ever have to fly to your daughter's wedding?
00:15:20.820 How about just watching it on Skype?
00:15:22.460 I mean, that's the CBC's advice, isn't it?
00:15:26.700 Stay with us for more.
00:15:27.660 Welcome back.
00:15:42.640 Well, one of the wonders of the age we live in is that we can live a life of luxury and ease that even a couple of generations ago would have been unthinkable.
00:15:52.420 If you ask a millennial hipster in Brooklyn where food comes from, they'd say, duh, the grocery store, and where does electrical power come from?
00:16:04.200 Duh, the wall socket.
00:16:06.220 It's that kind of disconnection from anything more red and tooth and claw that I think leads to so much leftism.
00:16:15.100 One of my favorite tricks at any anti-oil protest is just to go from head to toe of the protester pointing out all the things they're wearing that are made from plastic.
00:16:25.740 We don't even realize how much of our lives plastic dominates.
00:16:31.600 They really were accurate in that movie, The Graduate, that plastics is the future. 0.99
00:16:37.220 It's true.
00:16:38.880 And one of the things that I think we've become removed from in the last century, and I'd probably put myself in that category, is firearms.
00:16:46.900 I mean, it used to be, believe it or not, that even in New York, high school kids would walk to school with firearms to practice in shooting ranges in high school.
00:17:01.180 And that was just normal.
00:17:02.900 The idea of having a firearm was not considered weird or even political.
00:17:07.320 It was sporty.
00:17:08.940 It was something you would do like being a Cub Scout.
00:17:12.040 Use how to use a map.
00:17:13.580 Learn how to use a map.
00:17:14.380 Learn how to start a fire.
00:17:15.420 Learn how to use a compass.
00:17:16.580 Learn how to target practice.
00:17:18.800 These days, there's such a disconnect.
00:17:21.060 And with that disconnect comes ignorance.
00:17:23.660 And with ignorance comes fear.
00:17:26.220 And so let me read to you from the Toronto Star, perhaps the most disconnected newspaper in the country when it comes from things involving real life.
00:17:34.620 This is how they described Canadians who, you know, have a firearm for target practice or whatever.
00:17:42.760 Let me read to you an article in the Star, quoting Wendy Kukier or Sukier.
00:17:48.720 I'm not sure how to pronounce it.
00:17:49.660 I think Kukier fits.
00:17:51.240 They're quoting Wendy Kukier, an anti-gun extremist.
00:17:54.200 And here's what they say.
00:17:54.900 Asked for her thoughts on how Toronto could be experienced a surge in the number of shootings, but a decline in gun-related deaths.
00:18:03.480 Kukier, the coalition for gun control president, said that, quote, or this is the Toronto Star now, legal gun owners tend to be more effective in killing people because they spend time at target practice or hunting, unquote.
00:18:19.480 This was so stunning that after reader backlash, the Toronto Star just quietly deleted that from the article.
00:18:26.960 So they looked slightly less crazy than they were.
00:18:29.980 Joining us down to talk about this little weirdness is our friend Sheila Gunn-Reed from Alberta who joins us.
00:18:35.120 What do you think, Sheila?
00:18:36.200 What do you think?
00:18:37.840 I mean, there's no science behind that.
00:18:39.460 It's just pure bigotry.
00:18:40.640 Of course, the people shooting each other in Toronto, we're at a new record.
00:18:45.600 They're not lawful gun owners.
00:18:48.280 They're not farmers or ranchers.
00:18:49.900 They are urban gangbangers getting their illegal guns from the United States.
00:18:54.500 Just nothing there is true other than we get a true picture inside the mind of Wendy Kukier.
00:19:00.980 She just hates farmers, ranchers, and lawful gun owners. 1.00
00:19:03.400 She just hates them. 0.96
00:19:04.920 And that's not who's shooting up Toronto.
00:19:08.420 Yeah, and that's Toronto Star's expert.
00:19:10.120 But not only is that Toronto Star's expert, that's a liberal expert.
00:19:14.200 They trot her out, the liberals do, every time they need someone to push for more gun control. 1.00
00:19:19.520 She's their expert behind Bill C-71.
00:19:22.280 So that's the latest liberal omnibus gun control legislation that basically brings back all the things that Stephen Harper liberalized when it comes to gun control and outlaws more firearms just arbitrarily because they're black and scary. 0.96
00:19:38.280 And I think it was 50-50 reader backlash and 50-50 liberal, oh my goodness, you can't be that extremist and that bigoted.
00:19:50.000 I think Toronto Star got a phone call from the likes of Katie Telford and said, you better scrub just a touch of that extremism right out of there.
00:19:59.600 And they did, but they did leave some of Kukier's, more Kukier statements.
00:20:04.140 Like she said, and this is a direct quote.
00:20:06.480 So this just isn't even Toronto Star generalizing what she said.
00:20:10.820 This is a direct quote.
00:20:12.200 Quotation marks all around it.
00:20:13.280 She says, one of the terrible ironies is that when you see the proliferation of guns often associated with gang violence, you have lots of shootings, but fewer people are killed.
00:20:23.460 That's her terrible irony, by the way. 0.79
00:20:25.140 And then she says, because they don't spend hours and hours at the shooting range.
00:20:30.480 So she is lamenting the fact that the gangsters in Toronto aren't doing what I do and taking my lawfully owned firearm, my handgun, to the one place where I can use it, and that's at the range.
00:20:47.020 She's lamenting the fact that I'm well-trained and that the gangsters aren't as well-trained as I am.
00:20:53.240 It's so weird, and I think you're right about someone like Ralph Goodale or Katie Telford calling the Toronto Star and saying, hey, and I don't think they're saying, hey, that's substantively wrong.
00:21:03.220 They're saying, hey, don't say that in public, because too many lawful gun owners will say, oh, my God, you are calling me a would-be murderer.
00:21:12.980 You're saying, I mean, it's just so statistically wrong, by the way.
00:21:17.400 I mean, these gangland shootings in Toronto, and that's what they are, they're not people who use a long arm, firearm.
00:21:25.940 They're not people who use a long shotgun that you might see used for skeet shooting.
00:21:30.540 These are people who buy a little handgun in Toronto, or maybe they smuggle it across the border from, you know, it's only a couple hours to America by car.
00:21:40.840 In their mind, the liberals hate people who look like you and me, people in Alberta, people in the rural parts.
00:21:50.940 But what they're really, the cognitive dissonance is that people who look like you and me and people in the rural parts,
00:21:56.740 they're not the people who are shooting up these gangland shootings, and they're not using rifles and shotguns.
00:22:03.320 But that's where they're focusing their gun control energy.
00:22:07.120 I don't know, I just found the whole thing sad that we have to go through this again.
00:22:12.360 I know it was 25 years ago that Alan Rock first tried to ban all the guns in Canada.
00:22:17.140 I feel like maybe Justin Trudeau's going to take another crack at it.
00:22:20.420 Do you see any evidence that the liberals are going to bring in another Alan Rock,
00:22:23.880 that they're going to try and license and register all the guns again?
00:22:27.400 Yes, I do.
00:22:28.700 Ralph Goodale has already mused in some interviews, I think one with CTV,
00:22:35.760 that there is more gun control legislation coming, he says, to deal with gangland violence.
00:22:42.880 But there's no amount of gun control legislation can deal with gangland violence
00:22:47.420 because these people are already breaking gun laws even to be in possession of them.
00:22:51.780 But he says that the liberals are going to campaign on it, and it will be passed after the liberals are re-elected.
00:23:00.080 So, you know, it's sort of like Obamacare, you've got to pass the law to find out what's in it.
00:23:03.680 We've got to re-elect the liberals to find out what sorts of gun control legislation they're going to bring in. 1.00
00:23:08.220 But you did touch on a really good point.
00:23:10.980 And none of this liberal gun control legislation is statistically sound in its reasoning.
00:23:19.560 There's very few people out there who are doing the analysis of the StatsCan data on shootings,
00:23:25.100 but Professor Gary Mauser at Simon Fraser University has done that.
00:23:29.880 And statistically speaking, Wendy Kukier or any of the spinners down at the Toronto Star,
00:23:38.280 they're far more likely to kill somebody than I am as a licensed firearms owner.
00:23:44.140 The data shows that 0.67 licensed firearms owners out of 100,000 would commit a murder.
00:23:53.400 And out of the general population, it's 1.69 per 100,000.
00:23:57.160 So, you know, the rest of the population is one-third more likely to commit a murder than the firearms community,
00:24:04.080 which, as it turns out, is the most law-abiding demographic in all of Canada,
00:24:09.600 but the most targeted for legislation to control them.
00:24:12.400 That is a great little stat.
00:24:13.700 You know, please send me that.
00:24:14.700 I'd like to look at that source.
00:24:15.680 Yeah, I will.
00:24:16.040 So what you're saying is lawful gun owners, statistically speaking,
00:24:20.060 are less likely to commit a murder than people who aren't licensed, registered, whatever,
00:24:26.060 like they don't have their license.
00:24:27.360 Did I hear you right there?
00:24:28.200 So if you have a gun license, you are scientifically, statistically speaking,
00:24:34.080 one-third is likely, did I hear that right, to commit a gun crime as the general population.
00:24:39.740 So these are the safest, most trustworthy Canadians.
00:24:44.580 Yes, yes.
00:24:45.580 And to Wendy Cook here's crazy point, she's advocating for people out there to be less trained in firearm safety 0.98
00:24:55.280 because somehow that will make people to become less effective killing machines.
00:25:01.400 But if the statistics play out, the more training that you have, the more safe society is
00:25:06.400 because you just can't walk in and get a gun license.
00:25:09.320 You have to be trained.
00:25:10.200 You have to sit through the courses.
00:25:11.520 You have to pass a hands-on practical exam where you're handling a gun for safety.
00:25:17.660 It's not like multiple choice and then they give you your license and then you go home.
00:25:21.380 You're screened.
00:25:22.620 You have to have your hands on the gun.
00:25:24.220 You have to demonstrate to the instructor.
00:25:26.180 And then you have the comprehensive background check.
00:25:28.200 So Wendy Cook here's lamenting that, you know,
00:25:33.060 thank goodness that these gangsters aren't going to the gun range.
00:25:36.700 Well, society would be far more safer if everybody went to the gun range.
00:25:40.660 Yeah, I mean, it's a joke to think that they ever would do anything formal, legal, lawful, training-oriented.
00:25:47.060 They're not interested in gun safety.
00:25:49.420 They're interested in gun unsafety.
00:25:51.960 They're not submitting themselves to background checks.
00:25:55.060 It's just such a strange parallel universe.
00:25:58.060 And I started off by talking about the disconnect between the liberal elites and how things really are.
00:26:02.780 I mean, guns are so alien to them.
00:26:04.740 And anyone who would touch a gun, well, that's as strange and alien to them as a farmer who would kill meat for them
00:26:13.400 or a oil man who would drill for oil that's made into plastic for them.
00:26:18.100 These people are in their own weird little universe.
00:26:21.100 And it's quite something to see them talk candidly.
00:26:24.180 Sheila, I appreciate your help on this story.
00:26:25.700 Thanks for doing.
00:26:26.580 Thanks for coming on the show today.
00:26:27.920 Thanks, Ezra.
00:26:29.860 All right, there you have it.
00:26:30.620 Sheila Gunn-Reed, our chief reporter and Alberta bureau chief.
00:26:33.860 Stay with us.
00:26:34.380 More ahead on the rebel.
00:26:35.000 We'll see you next time.
00:27:05.000 The CBC's advice from the CBC is a joke.
00:27:06.740 But I suppose the CBC could say, hey, business people, talk by Skype instead of flying,
00:27:11.420 as if business people wouldn't know how to save money and time on their own.
00:27:15.940 But the CBC's advice was, have fewer family vacations.
00:27:21.320 That's their advice.
00:27:22.760 While Justin Trudeau and Catherine McKenna tear up the world in a private jet.
00:27:27.840 You know what that is?
00:27:28.820 I mean, it's gross and it shows there's sneering disrespect to citizens and taxpayers.
00:27:33.500 But it's a premonition of the next three months as we head into the federal election.
00:27:38.640 Expect that kind of absolute gross non-reporting, non-accountability reporting.
00:27:44.400 The only people they hold to account in Canada are you, the voters.
00:27:48.100 Never laying a glove on Justin Trudeau or his team.
00:27:51.320 Expect a lot more of that as we head to the election this October.
00:27:56.060 I am so glad that we are not on Trudeau's payroll, unlike the $600 million bailout newspapers
00:28:03.300 and the $1.5 million state broadcaster.
00:28:06.660 All right, folks, that's our show from today until tomorrow.
00:28:09.160 On behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, good night and keep fighting for freedom.
00:28:13.120 We'll be right back.
