Rebel News Podcast - Trudeau uses attack on New Zealand mosque to censor the Internet in Canada

00:00:00.000 Hello, Rebels. Today's show, I go into the Christchurch Call, which is a missionary-sounding, cult-sounding manifesto

00:00:10.320 signed by Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron, Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand, and all the big tech companies,

00:00:16.520 Twitter, Google, Facebook, YouTube, a whole bunch of them, some I wasn't even familiar with.

00:00:22.660 It's basically a censorship manifesto using the crisis of the terrorist attack in New Zealand

00:00:28.040 to regulate the internet for the whole world. Now, the United States didn't sign it, but Canada sure

00:00:33.720 did, so I go through it. So I hope you pay some note to this, because I didn't see it covered in

00:00:39.680 any detail anywhere else, so I hope you find this useful. Before I go, can you please consider

00:00:44.880 becoming a premium member of The Rebel? It's $8 a month. You get the video version of this show,

00:00:49.980 which is, I think, pretty useful, because I show a lot of things visually. You get access to Sheila

00:00:54.620 Gunn-Reed's show, David Menzies' show, and of course, from my point of view, you help pay the

00:00:58.880 costs of our talented staff and our modest equipment. So if you go to the rebel.media

00:01:03.740 slash shows, you could sign up at $8 a month, or you could pay $80 for the whole year,

00:01:08.860 and I appreciate that. So without further ado, here's my show on Macron, Trudeau, Ardern, and you.

00:01:16.780 You're listening to a Rebel Media Podcast. Tonight, Justin Trudeau uses an attack on a New Zealand mosque

00:01:25.080 as a pretext to censor the internet here in Canada. It's May 17th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:33.220 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:37.000 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:40.620 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.

00:01:52.700 There's Justin Trudeau. Not in Canada. Canada is too boring for him, and more to the point,

00:01:59.020 people here are starting to ask him tough questions about things. So he's in Paris with another mirror-loving

00:02:05.620 leader, detested by his own people, but look at the two of them. They can't keep their hands off each

00:02:11.280 other. I'm sorry, that's just odd. But maybe they're pawing each other and staring deeply into each

00:02:18.800 other's eyes because they're both so similar. Both are locked in bizarre marriages. Both are so obviously

00:02:26.100 lonely and rudderless. Trudeau without his closest friend, Gerald Butz.

00:02:34.360 And Macron, without his close protection bodyguard, who Macron told reporters was, quote,

00:02:40.940 not my lover. Okay, that's settled then. These guys are about as genuine as Mark Zuckerberg.

00:02:48.100 Mark, are the allegations true that you're secretly a lizard?

00:02:51.880 I'm going to have to go with no on that. I am not a lizard. But, you know, keep the high-quality

00:03:00.180 comments coming in.

00:03:01.640 Anyways, what do thin-skinned, vain, privileged, insulated from reality, globalist jet-setters 0.98

00:03:08.980 with no real-world experience do when they're hated? And I mean hated.

00:03:16.060 Here's the latest Ipsos poll from France. It's in French, but you can see what it means. Can you see

00:03:22.480 that? 4% of the French people are very favorable towards him. 23% moderately approved, for a total

00:03:30.500 of 27% who think he's okay. But look at that. 28% of Frenchmen are somewhat disfavorable towards him,

00:03:38.840 and 40% of Frenchmen outright despise Macron.

00:03:44.840 Très défavorable. So 60% of Frenchmen dislike him or hate him. That's shocking. Those yellow 1.00

00:03:52.560 vests have literally been in the streets for half a year. They're not stopping till Macron is gone.

00:03:58.260 So he's in his bubble too. He doesn't come to Canada, of course. He goes to the mountains

00:04:02.400 with his wife, who also happened to be his high school teacher. I don't know if you know that story.

00:04:08.180 He runs away from reality into his weird bubble.

00:04:13.440 You know that Macron was a 15-year-old high school student, and his teacher was married already,

00:04:20.380 of course. She was 40. He was 15, but she divorced her real family and married the boy, Macron. He

00:04:29.040 wasn't 15 when they married. I'm telling you that because it's relevant to today's story. I'll tell you

00:04:34.540 how it's relevant in a moment. I'll tell you why this weirdness, this deviance is relevant. Yes,

00:04:39.960 sorry, it is deviant. It is odd. It is not normal for a 15-year-old schoolboy to marry his 40-year-old

00:04:46.420 teacher. Sorry, that's weird, and it's relevant to today's news, and I'll tell you why in a moment.

00:04:51.700 That's Macron, despised by his own people, living a bizarre life with his mother, wife, and maybe his

00:04:58.360 bodyguard, or maybe definitely not. I don't know. And then our own Justin Trudeau. Angus Reid's

00:05:04.480 latest poll, this one's in English, so it's easier to see, puts him at 67% disapproval and 28% approval.

00:05:11.920 It's almost identical to Macron's numbers, actually, and he too is not just disliked. He's hated by

00:05:17.700 Canadians, and yeah, he's a bit weird too, and I'm not being prudish here. I don't think there was

00:05:24.120 anything illegal about a 15-year-old Macron hooking up with his 40-year-old teacher. In Canada, I think

00:05:30.240 that would be called statutory rape, because she was in a position of authority over him, but I know

00:05:35.580 in France they're a little bit different on those things, but the same thing here in Canada. Here's

00:05:39.840 Trudeau and his wife Sophie and their friend Gian Gomeschi, who was later revealed to be a sadist.

00:05:46.860 He boasted about how he liked to punch women in the face for his sexual pleasure, and here they are

00:05:52.700 all together on a CBC show in Montreal.

00:05:56.720 Because you're very handsome. Thank you, Justin.

00:05:59.540 Kiss him.

00:06:01.740 I think because the show...

00:06:04.700 Did you catch that weirdness? Kiss him.

00:06:09.160 And then his wink here.

00:06:10.660 Because you're very handsome. Thank you, Justin.

00:06:14.700 Kiss him.

00:06:17.040 I think because the show...

00:06:20.200 Yeah, okay, so what's my show about today? Is it me getting prudish about the alternative

00:06:24.840 lifestyles of the weird and famous?

00:06:28.160 No, actually, it's actually the opposite.

00:06:31.080 It's actually the opposite.

00:06:32.240 It's that these two bizarre men

00:06:34.540 have decided to tell you

00:06:37.520 how to live your life,

00:06:40.180 your private life,

00:06:41.720 what you say on your family Facebook page,

00:06:44.640 the photos you put up on Instagram

00:06:46.920 or send by email,

00:06:48.140 your comments on things,

00:06:49.460 even in private.

00:06:51.240 There are a couple of Neros,

00:06:52.700 a couple of Caligulas,

00:06:54.680 despised by their own people,

00:06:56.200 mistrusted by those closest to them,

00:06:58.080 but they are standing in judgment of you

00:07:00.720 and your morality

00:07:01.580 and your politics,

00:07:02.680 not just in the law.

00:07:03.900 I mean, they are legislators.

00:07:05.420 They do have certain power,

00:07:06.520 by virtue of their office,

00:07:07.880 to tell you and me what to do

00:07:09.620 in limited spheres.

00:07:11.700 The criminal law,

00:07:12.480 nothing is limited by our constitutions

00:07:14.580 and our customs.

00:07:15.900 Do you think I have misjudged Trudeau here?

00:07:18.920 Because maybe I don't know him

00:07:20.160 or maybe I am a partisan against him.

00:07:22.600 Well, what does Jody Wilson-Raybould

00:07:24.080 think about his morality?

00:07:25.500 What does Jane Philpott think about him?

00:07:27.640 They think he has no character.

00:07:29.480 They think he's a charlatan.

00:07:31.440 They haven't said so,

00:07:32.380 but I think they believe he's a sociopath,

00:07:34.520 the kind of man, for example,

00:07:35.840 who would sexually assault

00:07:36.920 a young female reporter

00:07:37.920 at a beer festival in Creston, B.C.

00:07:40.700 and then later would tell her,

00:07:42.220 oh, I'm sorry,

00:07:42.940 I wouldn't have groped you

00:07:44.300 had I known you were someone important.

00:07:46.660 That's what he said to her at the time.

00:07:48.120 And then last year

00:07:49.100 when he was asked about it,

00:07:50.840 the creep said this.

00:07:52.380 Like I said,

00:07:53.600 I do not feel that I acted

00:07:55.560 inappropriately in any way,

00:07:58.320 but I respect the fact

00:08:01.340 that someone else

00:08:02.100 might have experienced that differently.

00:08:04.180 Like I say,

00:08:04.960 something's not right with that boy.

00:08:06.840 But what did these two weirdos do yesterday?

00:08:10.220 I think it went beyond

00:08:11.420 just being a little bit weird.

00:08:14.500 They met with this traumatized woman 0.99

00:08:16.500 named Jacinda Ardern.

00:08:18.200 She's the prime minister of New Zealand,

00:08:19.960 which, as you know,

00:08:20.600 is a small country next to Australia.

00:08:22.740 New Zealand has about 4.8 million people in it.

00:08:26.420 And a terrible thing happened

00:08:27.740 in New Zealand earlier this year.

00:08:29.300 A terrorist,

00:08:30.780 a murderer with a political motive,

00:08:32.520 killed 51 Muslims

00:08:33.680 in a city called Christchurch.

00:08:36.220 Obviously a horrific crime,

00:08:38.280 the shock of it,

00:08:39.320 the method of it,

00:08:40.160 the ranting manifesto

00:08:41.300 published by the killer,

00:08:42.700 his macabre live streaming of it

00:08:45.140 on Facebook video.

00:08:47.900 In a sleepy country,

00:08:49.660 smaller in population

00:08:51.300 than our city of Toronto,

00:08:52.700 can you imagine the effect it had?

00:08:54.820 Or maybe you can't.

00:08:56.720 As you can see,

00:08:57.580 Ardern took to wearing

00:08:58.740 a Muslim hijab.

00:09:00.860 So did many women police. 0.53

00:09:06.280 Muslim prayers

00:09:07.360 were integrated

00:09:08.540 into once secular

00:09:10.040 public institutions

00:09:11.820 in New Zealand.

00:09:12.520 The terrorist

00:09:13.240 desired a political outcome.

00:09:15.920 And he got one,

00:09:16.940 maybe the opposite

00:09:17.800 of what he wanted,

00:09:18.480 but he did change

00:09:19.580 politics through violence.

00:09:21.340 That actually is the definition

00:09:22.880 of terrorism.

00:09:24.880 So New Zealand, for example,

00:09:25.940 has since then banned guns,

00:09:28.460 hoping that will help.

00:09:29.580 I'm not sure

00:09:30.220 if anyone mentioned

00:09:32.720 to these lawmakers

00:09:33.740 that they had already

00:09:35.280 banned shooting people

00:09:37.000 and that ban

00:09:38.340 didn't seem to work.

00:09:39.900 But maybe an extra ban

00:09:41.480 to double ban

00:09:43.040 shooting people

00:09:44.060 would work.

00:09:44.640 I mean, if she even dared

00:09:46.240 to speak out

00:09:46.880 against the mass disarming

00:09:48.800 of the public

00:09:49.580 in the heat of a moment,

00:09:50.620 well, what are you,

00:09:51.480 some sort of Nazi 0.51

00:09:52.440 or something?

00:09:54.460 Speaking of neo-Nazis

00:09:56.000 or Nazis,

00:09:57.660 this guy was prosecuted

00:09:58.920 and convicted

00:09:59.420 of uploading

00:10:00.120 a copy of the video

00:10:02.200 of the shooting.

00:10:03.620 The sentence for doing so

00:10:04.960 in New Zealand,

00:10:06.040 for sharing a video

00:10:06.860 like that,

00:10:07.540 is to be imprisoned

00:10:09.380 for up to 14 years.

00:10:10.460 Again,

00:10:11.020 someone might ask,

00:10:11.920 which is more Nazi-like?

00:10:15.260 Some creepy guy

00:10:16.480 watching a snuff video,

00:10:17.880 which is gross,

00:10:18.740 for sure.

00:10:20.100 Or the state

00:10:21.300 banning

00:10:22.280 a video

00:10:23.440 of newsworthy event

00:10:24.840 and censoring

00:10:25.960 its publication

00:10:26.620 with a prison term

00:10:28.840 for uploading it

00:10:29.720 to the Internet.

00:10:30.220 They will likely exceed

00:10:31.840 that served

00:10:32.600 by the terrorist himself.

00:10:34.320 So New Zealand

00:10:34.880 is obviously traumatized,

00:10:36.400 or at least

00:10:36.860 the Prime Minister

00:10:37.420 herself

00:10:38.060 has obviously

00:10:39.100 been traumatized.

00:10:40.380 But as Lenin

00:10:41.180 and every Marxist

00:10:42.800 knows,

00:10:43.200 the worse,

00:10:43.660 the better.

00:10:45.460 Never let a crisis

00:10:46.540 go to waste.

00:10:47.920 How else do you think

00:10:48.440 they were going to ban guns?

00:10:49.320 What a great opportunity!

00:10:51.120 What better opportunity

00:10:52.260 to use the 51 dead bodies

00:10:55.080 in the mosque

00:10:55.600 to pass

00:10:56.080 wholly unrelated

00:10:57.600 progressive plans

00:10:58.900 like mass disarmament

00:10:59.960 and censorship.

00:11:01.700 You may recall

00:11:02.560 that a few weeks ago

00:11:03.300 a lone gunman

00:11:04.860 with less training

00:11:05.820 and planning,

00:11:06.580 thank God,

00:11:07.460 stormed a Jewish synagogue 0.90

00:11:08.720 in San Diego.

00:11:10.040 One man threw a chair

00:11:10.980 at the shooter.

00:11:12.260 I think another,

00:11:13.180 an off-duty border cop,

00:11:14.420 went to get his gun.

00:11:15.800 Now one woman 0.99

00:11:16.360 was killed

00:11:16.940 by the shooter

00:11:17.860 and the rabbi himself

00:11:19.060 had his finger

00:11:19.940 shot off

00:11:20.460 but the shooter

00:11:21.220 was driven away

00:11:22.000 and that off-duty cop

00:11:23.240 might well have

00:11:23.800 stopped him

00:11:24.340 with his gun

00:11:24.820 if he hadn't fled.

00:11:26.500 That option

00:11:27.280 will now not be

00:11:28.020 available to anyone

00:11:28.840 in New Zealand anymore.

00:11:30.180 Not for any mosque, 0.99

00:11:31.220 not for any church,

00:11:31.980 not for anyone now.

00:11:34.740 Only Jacinda Ardern

00:11:36.180 who is obviously

00:11:37.140 psychologically

00:11:38.500 shell-shocked,

00:11:39.360 she's traumatized

00:11:40.080 by the whole incident,

00:11:41.180 what a terrible,

00:11:42.240 terrible prime minister

00:11:43.580 to have

00:11:44.460 in a time of crisis.

00:11:46.440 She is in a state

00:11:47.940 of distress herself

00:11:49.020 and she's acting

00:11:50.040 like him.

00:11:52.020 So here we have

00:11:53.020 the world's

00:11:53.440 utopian globalists

00:11:54.760 meeting behind

00:11:56.100 closed doors in Paris

00:11:57.060 and what were they doing?

00:11:58.720 Well, it's funny

00:11:59.340 that you'd ask.

00:12:01.100 I'm curious about it

00:12:02.140 but no newspaper

00:12:03.240 in Canada

00:12:03.820 thought it was

00:12:04.540 that important.

00:12:06.000 The Global Mail

00:12:06.480 had an interesting story

00:12:07.520 on their front page

00:12:08.080 today about Trudeau

00:12:08.900 conspiring to railroad

00:12:10.400 Vice Admiral Mark Norman.

00:12:11.860 That's a good scoop there.

00:12:12.620 It's a great story.

00:12:13.240 It's a good front page story.

00:12:14.360 The Ottawa Citizen,

00:12:15.560 our nation's,

00:12:16.400 I guess,

00:12:17.300 official

00:12:17.780 parliamentary newspaper

00:12:18.940 had a front page story

00:12:20.300 about some guy

00:12:21.460 who was renting

00:12:23.100 a house

00:12:24.140 and wanted to buy it

00:12:25.840 and then it was damaged

00:12:27.000 by this flood.

00:12:29.300 So there's that

00:12:30.300 front page story.

00:12:32.000 And I looked through

00:12:32.960 about a half dozen

00:12:33.580 papers today.

00:12:34.380 I guess what Trudeau

00:12:35.920 was doing in Paris

00:12:36.900 with Macron

00:12:38.160 and Ardern

00:12:38.580 wasn't that important?

00:12:40.360 Well, I'll tell you

00:12:40.920 what they were doing.

00:12:41.580 It was a private meeting

00:12:42.360 between Macron,

00:12:43.860 Trudeau,

00:12:44.280 Ardern

00:12:44.560 and a handful

00:12:45.100 of other leftist

00:12:46.140 globalists,

00:12:46.620 most of whom

00:12:47.040 were despised

00:12:47.760 by the people

00:12:48.820 and despised

00:12:50.460 the people back.

00:12:51.520 Oh, and I almost forgot,

00:12:52.700 all the big Silicon Valley

00:12:54.220 tech companies

00:12:55.100 were in the room.

00:12:57.000 They were meeting

00:12:57.620 under something

00:12:58.340 with sort of

00:12:59.340 a missionary name,

00:13:01.140 the Christchurch call,

00:13:04.040 as in because

00:13:04.640 there was a mass murder

00:13:05.660 in Christchurch,

00:13:06.700 everyone in the world

00:13:07.400 must now change

00:13:08.200 how they use

00:13:08.780 the internet.

00:13:09.860 We didn't hear that

00:13:10.820 after the massacre

00:13:12.080 at the Catholic churches

00:13:13.320 in Sri Lanka

00:13:14.160 or the weekly massacres

00:13:15.900 of Christians

00:13:16.460 in, I don't know,

00:13:18.000 Nigeria, Egypt,

00:13:19.780 but only in this one case

00:13:21.540 because one terrorist

00:13:22.620 used the internet

00:13:23.640 to stream his video

00:13:24.720 and Jacinda Ardern

00:13:26.220 obviously has PTSD

00:13:27.660 and can't handle

00:13:28.640 the stress

00:13:29.260 and opportunists

00:13:30.640 think this is

00:13:31.280 an opportunity.

00:13:32.160 So now we must

00:13:33.920 all have

00:13:34.580 our videos

00:13:36.420 censored

00:13:37.160 because one terrorist

00:13:39.360 used the internet

00:13:40.620 to upload

00:13:41.220 his manifesto.

00:13:42.220 Each of us

00:13:42.780 must now be scrutinized

00:13:44.340 because of Christchurch,

00:13:45.280 you see.

00:13:46.120 And if you have any

00:13:46.560 questions about this,

00:13:47.360 you're probably just

00:13:48.020 a neo-Nazi bigot

00:13:49.440 who needs to be

00:13:50.340 investigated a bit.

00:13:53.020 Do you think

00:13:53.340 the tech companies

00:13:54.020 opposed this censorship?

00:13:55.840 They did not oppose

00:13:57.000 this censorship.

00:13:58.880 They were the key to it.

00:14:00.160 They were the supporters

00:14:01.840 of it.

00:14:02.200 Look at this official page

00:14:04.020 on the Christchurch call.

00:14:05.400 It's actually

00:14:05.960 a public-private partnership,

00:14:07.440 you could call it.

00:14:08.100 You could call it

00:14:08.960 the privatization

00:14:09.960 of censorship,

00:14:11.160 the outsourcing,

00:14:12.280 the contracting out

00:14:13.140 of censorship.

00:14:13.880 You could call it

00:14:14.380 the merger of big government

00:14:15.540 and big media,

00:14:16.580 obviously big business.

00:14:17.840 Look at that,

00:14:18.300 Amazon, Facebook,

00:14:19.380 Google, Microsoft,

00:14:20.260 Twitter, YouTube,

00:14:21.140 more.

00:14:22.100 That's what,

00:14:22.700 99% of all social media

00:14:24.360 traffic in the West?

00:14:26.700 Not just the West,

00:14:27.660 look at some of the

00:14:28.360 countries involved.

00:14:29.300 You have Senegal, 1.00

00:14:31.380 90% Muslim country

00:14:32.700 in Africa.

00:14:33.260 You've got Indonesia, 1.00

00:14:35.180 90% Muslim country,

00:14:36.600 the largest Muslim country

00:14:37.940 in the world,

00:14:38.300 actually,

00:14:38.840 270 million people,

00:14:40.420 almost as big as America.

00:14:42.260 They love this censorship thing.

00:14:44.520 They really dig it.

00:14:45.740 They love the idea

00:14:46.880 of censoring things

00:14:47.960 that are Islamophobic.

00:14:49.820 And they love the fact

00:14:51.060 that they can get

00:14:51.640 post-Christian, 0.93

00:14:53.540 post-national globalists

00:14:54.980 like Macron

00:14:55.580 and Trudeau

00:14:56.400 and Ardern

00:14:56.920 to hand over

00:14:57.740 without a fight.

00:14:59.580 a millennium

00:15:01.300 of Western legal

00:15:02.100 and political traditions

00:15:02.940 to root out

00:15:03.700 ideas like freedom

00:15:04.840 and the presumption

00:15:05.760 of innocence

00:15:06.160 and privacy.

00:15:07.060 They like it

00:15:07.660 and they can't believe

00:15:08.440 the irony

00:15:08.860 that it was an

00:15:09.460 anti-Muslim terrorist

00:15:10.900 who opened the door

00:15:12.280 for them to do this.

00:15:13.080 And Jacinda Ardern

00:15:14.040 wearing that hijab,

00:15:15.800 they just can't believe

00:15:17.040 she's wearing it.

00:15:18.280 They really can't.

00:15:19.920 I note that the United States

00:15:21.660 is not on that list.

00:15:23.140 I note that Japan is,

00:15:24.900 which I find odd.

00:15:26.060 They're probably

00:15:26.680 the most homogenous

00:15:27.740 country in the world.

00:15:29.060 They allow next to 0.99

00:15:30.280 no immigration whatsoever.

00:15:32.580 Do you know how many

00:15:33.300 refugees Japan took 1.00

00:15:35.160 a year ago?

00:15:36.420 In the whole year.

00:15:38.320 This is from

00:15:38.740 the Japan Times newspaper.

00:15:41.660 Japan took 20.

00:15:43.940 Not 20,000.

00:15:45.260 They took 20.

00:15:46.080 Two zero.

00:15:47.000 As in a dozen

00:15:47.920 and a half plus two.

00:15:49.940 That's it.

00:15:51.360 So yeah,

00:15:51.940 Japan doesn't really care 1.00

00:15:53.320 about this stuff.

00:15:54.220 There are no ethnic 1.00

00:15:55.520 or ideological

00:15:56.500 or religious quarrels

00:15:57.940 in that country.

00:15:59.060 They haven't had

00:16:00.080 a terrorist attack

00:16:00.900 of any note

00:16:01.580 in 25 years

00:16:03.020 and that was a cult.

00:16:03.840 They've got this cult

00:16:04.680 that does the odd.

00:16:06.180 It's not a racial quarrel.

00:16:09.320 So what exactly

00:16:10.060 did all these

00:16:10.960 governments and

00:16:12.360 companies do

00:16:13.260 over there in Paris?

00:16:14.080 I mean,

00:16:14.760 it wasn't a parliament

00:16:15.900 so there were no proceedings.

00:16:17.120 There's no transcript.

00:16:18.340 There were no committees

00:16:19.180 and witnesses

00:16:19.680 and debates.

00:16:20.440 There was no

00:16:20.860 question period.

00:16:21.820 They just sort of

00:16:22.580 all signed this document.

00:16:25.600 Who wrote it?

00:16:28.000 On whose authority

00:16:29.080 was it signed?

00:16:29.980 Why did it happen?

00:16:32.120 With no scrutiny

00:16:32.660 by the media

00:16:33.540 other than some

00:16:34.180 pious head nodding

00:16:35.520 for Jacinda Ardern

00:16:37.020 who's so woke.

00:16:38.040 Oh,

00:16:38.500 how Justin Trudeau

00:16:39.680 wishes he could

00:16:40.740 wear a hijab.

00:16:41.620 It's the one

00:16:42.320 costume he doesn't

00:16:44.120 get to wear

00:16:44.720 at least

00:16:45.120 out in public.

00:16:47.220 Well,

00:16:47.400 you know the saying

00:16:48.080 ignore everything

00:16:49.980 before the word

00:16:50.640 but,

00:16:51.180 right?

00:16:52.540 When people say

00:16:53.200 I like you but

00:16:54.580 ignore everything

00:16:55.380 before the word but.

00:16:56.220 It works for the word

00:16:56.780 however which is

00:16:57.840 a synonym for but.

00:16:59.000 So let me read to you

00:16:59.860 a bit from the

00:17:00.440 Christchurch call

00:17:01.420 as these censors

00:17:02.840 call their manifesto.

00:17:04.380 Let me quote.

00:17:06.060 A free,

00:17:06.560 open,

00:17:07.020 and secure internet

00:17:07.860 is a powerful tool

00:17:09.100 to promote connectivity,

00:17:11.000 enhance social

00:17:12.200 inclusiveness,

00:17:13.200 and foster economic

00:17:14.120 growth.

00:17:15.300 The internet is

00:17:16.320 however,

00:17:18.160 but,

00:17:18.720 not immune

00:17:20.680 from abuse

00:17:21.180 by terrorist

00:17:21.800 and violent

00:17:22.340 extremist actors.

00:17:23.340 So ignore

00:17:24.000 everything

00:17:24.360 before the word

00:17:24.920 however.

00:17:25.800 They say they

00:17:26.380 want a free

00:17:26.920 and open internet

00:17:27.840 and then they

00:17:29.020 use the word

00:17:29.440 however

00:17:29.840 and then they

00:17:30.820 spend another

00:17:31.320 thousand words

00:17:32.100 explaining how

00:17:32.960 they will make

00:17:33.380 it unfree

00:17:34.000 and they start

00:17:34.980 by saying

00:17:35.300 they want to

00:17:35.620 crack down

00:17:35.960 on terrorism.

00:17:36.740 Well,

00:17:36.900 I agree,

00:17:37.400 of course.

00:17:38.460 And by cracking

00:17:39.540 down on violent

00:17:40.420 extremist actors,

00:17:42.840 that's tough

00:17:43.180 to disagree with.

00:17:44.200 But hang on,

00:17:44.640 hang on,

00:17:44.920 hang on,

00:17:45.200 hang on,

00:17:45.480 hang on.

00:17:46.000 What does that

00:17:46.460 have to do

00:17:46.840 with the rest

00:17:47.340 of what they're

00:17:47.720 doing,

00:17:47.960 what they're

00:17:48.220 actually doing?

00:17:50.260 Well,

00:17:50.580 shut up, 0.92

00:17:51.100 you Islamophobe.

00:17:52.140 They're taking

00:17:52.520 away the guns

00:17:53.140 of every law

00:17:53.660 abiding New

00:17:54.160 Zealander

00:17:54.480 because,

00:17:54.960 I mean,

00:17:56.520 shut up, 0.92

00:17:57.240 she explained.

00:17:59.060 So,

00:17:59.340 for example,

00:17:59.700 if you're going

00:18:00.020 after terrorists,

00:18:00.720 why does so

00:18:01.300 much of the

00:18:01.680 Christchurch call

00:18:02.560 actually go

00:18:03.800 after peaceful

00:18:04.520 users of

00:18:05.160 social media?

00:18:06.960 Let me read

00:18:07.280 some more.

00:18:07.840 Support frameworks

00:18:08.620 such as industry

00:18:09.380 standards to

00:18:10.600 ensure that

00:18:11.000 reporting on

00:18:11.860 terrorist attacks

00:18:12.500 does not amplify

00:18:13.460 terrorist and

00:18:14.140 violent extremist

00:18:14.840 content without

00:18:16.200 prejudice to

00:18:16.900 responsible coverage

00:18:17.740 of terrorism

00:18:18.640 and violent

00:18:19.560 extremists.

00:18:20.140 So hang on,

00:18:20.460 hang on,

00:18:20.700 hang on,

00:18:20.920 hang on,

00:18:21.140 hang on.

00:18:21.520 So I get

00:18:21.920 going after

00:18:22.320 the terrorists,

00:18:22.840 but the government

00:18:23.980 and these tech

00:18:24.800 companies are going

00:18:25.960 to go after

00:18:26.660 reporting now?

00:18:28.200 They're going to

00:18:28.720 ensure that

00:18:30.300 reporting on

00:18:30.900 terrorist events

00:18:31.500 is responsible?

00:18:33.100 What does that

00:18:33.740 mean?

00:18:35.480 Well,

00:18:35.860 you know what

00:18:36.220 that means.

00:18:37.780 And you know

00:18:38.340 what it means in

00:18:38.980 Senegal and

00:18:39.840 Indonesia too?

00:18:42.120 It's called

00:18:42.700 censorship.

00:18:43.300 They're not going

00:18:43.780 after terrorists.

00:18:45.000 You can't go

00:18:45.320 after,

00:18:45.760 Google can't go

00:18:46.640 after a terrorist.

00:18:48.460 They can go

00:18:48.900 after people

00:18:49.280 talking about

00:18:49.900 terrorism.

00:18:50.440 That's what

00:18:50.680 they're doing

00:18:50.980 here.

00:18:52.040 Here's some

00:18:52.400 more.

00:18:53.720 Consider

00:18:54.200 appropriate action

00:18:55.220 to prevent the

00:18:55.820 use of online

00:18:56.400 services to

00:18:57.360 disseminate terrorist

00:18:58.320 and violent

00:18:58.800 extremist content,

00:19:00.300 including through

00:19:00.960 collaborative actions

00:19:02.040 such as awareness

00:19:03.540 raising and

00:19:04.280 capacity building

00:19:05.020 activities aimed

00:19:06.040 at smaller online

00:19:06.940 service providers,

00:19:08.480 development of

00:19:09.100 industry standards

00:19:09.820 or voluntary

00:19:10.340 frameworks,

00:19:12.160 regulatory or

00:19:12.900 policy measures

00:19:13.600 consistent with

00:19:14.240 the free open

00:19:14.700 and secure

00:19:15.160 internet and

00:19:15.960 international

00:19:16.460 human rights law.

00:19:17.340 Oh, got it.

00:19:18.020 So the government,

00:19:18.840 the tech companies,

00:19:19.600 they will do

00:19:20.120 awareness raising,

00:19:21.360 especially at the

00:19:22.020 smaller internet

00:19:22.620 companies who,

00:19:23.280 you know,

00:19:23.500 might not be so

00:19:24.440 into the liberal

00:19:25.080 narrative.

00:19:26.080 Industry standards,

00:19:27.240 eh?

00:19:27.380 But of course,

00:19:27.840 they really,

00:19:28.420 really,

00:19:28.840 really,

00:19:29.140 really believe in

00:19:29.980 free speech people

00:19:30.760 and they want you

00:19:31.540 to know that.

00:19:32.700 Let me read some

00:19:33.180 more.

00:19:33.360 To that end,

00:19:35.480 we,

00:19:36.580 governments and

00:19:37.380 online service

00:19:38.140 providers,

00:19:38.700 as if there's

00:19:39.180 any dividing line

00:19:40.040 anymore,

00:19:41.420 commit to work

00:19:41.960 collectively to

00:19:43.540 work with civil

00:19:44.240 society to

00:19:44.920 promote community

00:19:46.080 led efforts to

00:19:46.860 counter violent

00:19:47.480 extremism in all

00:19:48.500 its forms,

00:19:48.940 including through

00:19:49.440 the development

00:19:50.200 and promotion

00:19:50.700 of positive

00:19:51.360 alternatives and

00:19:52.500 counter messaging.

00:19:53.820 Oh, okay,

00:19:54.440 so that's what

00:19:54.880 we're doing.

00:19:55.320 The government

00:19:55.760 is getting into

00:19:56.900 positive messaging,

00:19:58.440 positive alternatives.

00:20:00.400 So we're talking

00:20:01.160 about reporting

00:20:01.660 again now,

00:20:02.160 aren't we?

00:20:02.400 We're talking

00:20:02.560 about conversations

00:20:03.160 again,

00:20:04.320 politics again.

00:20:04.940 So we're not

00:20:05.320 actually talking

00:20:06.240 about violent

00:20:06.680 terrorist actions

00:20:08.500 anymore.

00:20:09.940 We're talking

00:20:10.660 about Twitter and

00:20:11.200 Facebook and Google

00:20:11.880 and Amazon and

00:20:13.080 books and movies

00:20:14.160 and people like

00:20:16.720 you and me,

00:20:17.340 I guess.

00:20:18.780 So these massive

00:20:20.100 companies will work

00:20:20.940 with these massive

00:20:21.560 governments to

00:20:22.060 provide a

00:20:22.660 counter narrative.

00:20:24.840 Really,

00:20:25.300 counter messaging,

00:20:26.100 really.

00:20:26.880 So not so much

00:20:27.680 about terrorists

00:20:28.180 anymore,

00:20:28.900 but I assure a

00:20:29.500 lot about you.

00:20:32.240 And Trudeau put

00:20:33.180 out this press

00:20:34.740 statement,

00:20:35.080 pretty much just

00:20:36.060 repeating what

00:20:36.680 Ardern and

00:20:37.260 Macron told him

00:20:38.020 to say,

00:20:38.620 but then he

00:20:39.120 linked,

00:20:39.740 as you can see

00:20:40.460 there,

00:20:40.800 he linked

00:20:41.760 to a Canadian

00:20:42.520 document that

00:20:43.780 he and his

00:20:44.700 people drafted.

00:20:45.860 It's produced

00:20:46.420 by the Department

00:20:47.140 of Public Safety.

00:20:48.020 It's the security

00:20:49.060 threats in Canada,

00:20:50.380 you know the one,

00:20:51.080 the one where

00:20:51.480 Ralph Goodale

00:20:52.100 ordered police

00:20:53.120 to go back

00:20:53.760 and delete

00:20:54.420 any references

00:20:55.420 to Muslims

00:20:56.500 or Sikh 0.87

00:20:56.960 extremists.

00:20:57.860 Now,

00:20:58.080 I checked the

00:20:58.580 document.

00:20:59.540 Those words

00:21:00.100 have indeed

00:21:00.560 all been deleted.

00:21:02.220 We have over

00:21:02.960 100 ISIS terrorists

00:21:04.480 who have returned

00:21:05.140 from Syria

00:21:05.780 and Iraq to

00:21:06.660 Canada.

00:21:07.020 we have ISIS

00:21:08.780 plots uncovered

00:21:10.060 monthly.

00:21:10.620 There was just

00:21:11.020 another terrorist

00:21:12.400 incident this week.

00:21:14.280 And the biggest

00:21:15.080 attack in our

00:21:15.920 country's history,

00:21:17.040 as you recall,

00:21:18.060 about 30 odd

00:21:18.740 years ago,

00:21:19.160 was when Sikh

00:21:20.020 extremists blew

00:21:21.260 up the Air

00:21:21.800 India jet.

00:21:22.540 So,

00:21:23.120 that's all

00:21:23.940 expunged.

00:21:25.240 So much for

00:21:26.080 violent terrorism

00:21:27.320 and extremism.

00:21:28.680 Instead,

00:21:29.140 if you do a word

00:21:29.740 search in the

00:21:30.160 document,

00:21:30.900 what Trudeau is

00:21:31.440 telling you is

00:21:31.980 that the real

00:21:32.480 threat in Canada

00:21:33.280 is from the

00:21:33.820 far right.

00:21:35.240 It just is,

00:21:36.280 folks.

00:21:37.020 Let me read to

00:21:37.680 you an excerpt

00:21:38.220 from this

00:21:38.560 security document.

00:21:39.680 This is a piece

00:21:40.540 of creative

00:21:42.620 writing.

00:21:43.020 I'm serious.

00:21:44.260 Let me read it

00:21:44.960 to you.

00:21:45.300 This is from

00:21:45.880 the document.

00:21:46.900 Scenario A.

00:21:49.440 Alex,

00:21:50.080 a high school

00:21:50.640 student,

00:21:51.240 gets into an

00:21:51.820 argument about

00:21:52.360 Canada's foreign 0.99

00:21:53.040 aid with another

00:21:53.600 student who

00:21:54.380 happens to be a

00:21:55.060 recent immigrant.

00:21:56.680 Alex is outraged

00:21:57.660 that Canada provides

00:21:58.560 help to foreigners

00:21:59.280 when so many

00:22:00.080 Canadians are in 0.90

00:22:00.880 need.

00:22:01.940 This incident

00:22:02.520 makes him believe

00:22:03.160 that immigrants 1.00

00:22:03.620 should not have a

00:22:04.300 say about any of

00:22:04.980 Canada's policies.

00:22:07.000 Noticing his

00:22:07.700 outrage,

00:22:08.740 a friend takes

00:22:09.440 Alex to a

00:22:10.820 protest organized

00:22:11.720 by a far right

00:22:13.000 group that

00:22:13.500 proclaims anti-immigrant

00:22:14.820 rhetoric.

00:22:16.480 So that's the

00:22:17.240 threat.

00:22:19.000 They had to make

00:22:19.820 up that short

00:22:20.520 story.

00:22:21.100 It goes on for

00:22:21.940 quite a bit.

00:22:23.080 That's creative

00:22:23.620 writing.

00:22:23.840 They wrote that's

00:22:24.500 a piece of

00:22:24.860 fiction.

00:22:27.400 You don't have

00:22:28.320 to make up short

00:22:28.980 stories about

00:22:29.540 Muslim extremists

00:22:30.760 in Canada because

00:22:31.380 there are hundreds

00:22:32.260 of them,

00:22:33.220 including those

00:22:33.860 who have gone

00:22:34.460 to murder and 0.81

00:22:36.340 rape in Iraq and 0.92

00:22:37.380 Syria and have

00:22:38.360 been welcomed

00:22:38.780 home.

00:22:39.140 One of them

00:22:39.500 got $10.5

00:22:40.260 million from

00:22:41.060 Trudeau.

00:22:41.500 His name is

00:22:41.720 Omar Khadr.

00:22:43.260 They murder in

00:22:44.300 Syria and Iraq.

00:22:45.240 They murder in

00:22:46.420 Africa.

00:22:47.160 And they're

00:22:47.620 murdering in this

00:22:48.260 country too.

00:22:49.940 They even murdered

00:22:50.700 Nathan Cirillo in

00:22:52.560 downtown Ottawa.

00:22:53.520 This is the document

00:22:54.560 though to which

00:22:55.880 Trudeau linked in his

00:22:57.220 official statement on

00:22:58.340 the Christchurch call.

00:22:59.280 Nothing about the word

00:23:00.060 Islam, the word 0.97

00:23:00.560 Muslim is not in 1.00

00:23:01.280 there, but

00:23:01.840 right-wingers are

00:23:02.640 in there and

00:23:02.940 this Alex kid in

00:23:03.780 high school because

00:23:04.620 he didn't like

00:23:05.240 immigration and

00:23:05.880 foreign aid.

00:23:06.700 He's the threat.

00:23:07.780 This is not about

00:23:08.380 stopping terrorism

00:23:09.100 people.

00:23:11.120 It's about stopping

00:23:12.060 conservatives who

00:23:12.680 don't like Justin

00:23:13.220 Trudeau's policies.

00:23:15.960 It's about stopping

00:23:16.860 you.

00:23:18.880 And the media

00:23:19.840 party, the mainstream

00:23:20.580 media in Canada,

00:23:22.120 they couldn't be

00:23:24.000 happier about this

00:23:24.980 because they hate

00:23:27.960 you too.

00:23:30.500 Stay with us for

00:23:31.300 more.

00:23:45.140 It is a great

00:23:46.140 honor to be the

00:23:47.420 premier of Newfoundland

00:23:48.400 and Labrador.

00:23:49.560 I see more

00:23:50.660 opportunities than I

00:23:51.840 see challenges when

00:23:53.340 as a group that we

00:23:54.160 work together.

00:23:55.140 It is a great honor

00:23:56.280 to work with business

00:23:57.180 leaders, with

00:23:57.840 community leaders,

00:23:59.120 with cultural

00:23:59.640 leaders, with

00:24:00.580 indigenous leaders to

00:24:02.260 create a shared

00:24:03.200 vision for the

00:24:04.400 betterment of all

00:24:05.360 Newfoundlanders and

00:24:06.140 Labradorians.

00:24:08.020 Well, there you have

00:24:09.000 the Liberal Party of

00:24:10.160 Ontario bucking the

00:24:11.840 trend, as you may

00:24:12.800 know, since Justin

00:24:13.940 Trudeau became Prime

00:24:14.800 Minister.

00:24:15.200 Liberal parties

00:24:15.680 provincially have

00:24:16.340 been all but wiped

00:24:17.900 out.

00:24:18.300 Not just obviously the

00:24:19.440 NDP losing in

00:24:20.760 Alberta, but Doug

00:24:21.600 Ford with a strong

00:24:22.600 victory in Ontario,

00:24:24.760 Francois Legault and

00:24:25.680 his coalition I have

00:24:26.520 in Quebec, beating

00:24:27.960 the Liberals in

00:24:29.000 Quebec, and even

00:24:30.360 provinces in the

00:24:31.240 Atlantic turned blue.

00:24:33.480 Shockingly, Prince

00:24:34.440 Edward Island amongst

00:24:35.160 them.

00:24:35.460 Well, the Liberals hung

00:24:36.620 on at least with their

00:24:37.300 fingernails in Newfoundland

00:24:38.760 where they maintain a

00:24:39.720 minority government, and

00:24:40.680 our own Kian Bexty was

00:24:43.380 there on the ground on

00:24:44.660 election night last night.

00:24:46.080 Kian, you're back in 1.00

00:24:46.940 Calgary now.

00:24:47.760 Tell me how it was in

00:24:48.620 Newfoundland.

00:24:49.080 It was a bit chillier than

00:24:51.740 I expected.

00:24:52.460 I should have brought a

00:24:53.020 jacket, but I was happy

00:24:55.420 to see one thing.

00:24:56.300 I was happy to see the

00:24:57.060 Liberals lose ground.

00:24:59.680 Maybe the blue wave

00:25:00.520 didn't make it all the

00:25:01.560 way out to the Atlantic

00:25:02.640 province, but the red

00:25:04.820 swamp certainly receded a

00:25:06.260 little bit.

00:25:07.320 I can see a path to the

00:25:10.260 Liberals losing control over

00:25:12.500 the government within the

00:25:13.680 year.

00:25:13.960 Chez Crosby said that in

00:25:19.060 his not-really-a-concession

00:25:21.280 speech.

00:25:21.700 He wouldn't concede because

00:25:22.700 he did say that the

00:25:24.260 government would collapse

00:25:25.140 within a year, so we're

00:25:26.520 going to see if that

00:25:27.040 actually does happen, but

00:25:28.020 they're holding on by a

00:25:30.340 hair.

00:25:30.780 They have 20 seats, and

00:25:32.680 they need 21 to form a

00:25:34.480 majority government, and

00:25:35.840 that's before they even

00:25:36.680 elect a speaker, so they

00:25:37.780 still have to elect a

00:25:38.900 speaker.

00:25:39.240 They have to decide if

00:25:40.480 that speaker is going to

00:25:41.260 be from the government

00:25:42.100 caucus, if it's going to

00:25:43.380 be from the three NDP

00:25:44.900 seats, or if it's going

00:25:46.760 to be one of the two

00:25:47.400 independents that were

00:25:48.320 elected.

00:25:49.240 Two independents being 0.97

00:25:50.220 elected was huge news for

00:25:51.380 them because there's only

00:25:52.240 four independent candidates

00:25:53.560 that have ever been

00:25:54.180 elected in Newfoundland and

00:25:55.560 Labrador before yesterday,

00:25:56.720 or it could come from the

00:25:57.900 Progressive Conservative

00:25:58.680 Party.

00:25:59.740 The Progressive

00:26:00.360 Conservatives could put

00:26:01.920 forward a name, and the

00:26:03.600 NDP and the independents

00:26:05.320 could all band together and

00:26:06.220 support that, which would

00:26:07.420 be an interesting dynamic

00:26:09.260 because having an

00:26:10.480 opposition speaker controlling

00:26:12.720 the House really could

00:26:13.840 throw the government for a

00:26:15.600 loop.

00:26:16.400 Isn't that interesting?

00:26:17.500 I never thought of that

00:26:18.180 possibility before.

00:26:19.560 Well, tell me a little bit

00:26:20.480 more about Newfoundland

00:26:21.860 politics.

00:26:22.420 I admit I haven't followed

00:26:23.480 it closely.

00:26:24.640 Now, you scrummed the PC

00:26:27.900 leader who happens to be

00:26:29.320 the son of John Crosby.

00:26:31.620 Why don't you set up the

00:26:32.580 clip and we'll play it.

00:26:33.820 He sure looks like John

00:26:35.040 Crosby.

00:26:35.520 I'm of that generation who

00:26:37.360 remembers John Crosby, the

00:26:38.760 Mulroney-era cabinet

00:26:40.180 minister.

00:26:40.500 I sort of liked him.

00:26:41.100 He had the gift of the gab.

00:26:42.420 He had a sense of humor to

00:26:43.420 him, as many Newfoundlanders

00:26:44.320 do.

00:26:44.800 Tell me a little bit about

00:26:45.520 this clip and then we'll

00:26:46.160 play it.

00:26:48.360 Well, Chess Crosby isn't a

00:26:52.400 very dynamic leader.

00:26:53.620 He's very monotone.

00:26:55.280 Frankly, I don't know how

00:26:56.300 he got into the position

00:26:57.200 that he's in because he's

00:26:58.300 not really an inspiring

00:26:59.520 leader, at least from the

00:27:00.900 few times I managed to

00:27:03.580 chat with him.

00:27:04.620 And what I would say about

00:27:05.600 the Progressive Conservative

00:27:06.340 Party in Newfoundland and

00:27:07.740 Labrador, compared to all of

00:27:09.400 their Progressive Conservative

00:27:10.320 Party peers, the 0.76

00:27:11.100 Saskatchewan Party, the CAQ

00:27:12.420 and the United Conservative

00:27:13.560 Party, all these right-wing

00:27:14.520 parties, the Newfoundland and

00:27:16.680 Labrador Party are probably

00:27:17.700 the most left-wing out of the

00:27:19.560 bunch.

00:27:20.520 They're probably conservative

00:27:21.420 in name only, really.

00:27:22.640 Their platform wasn't really

00:27:24.140 that much different from the

00:27:25.220 Liberals.

00:27:26.100 So that's the foundation for

00:27:28.360 the questions that I was

00:27:29.140 asking him.

00:27:30.040 All right.

00:27:30.280 Well, let's play that clip

00:27:31.200 now.

00:27:31.520 And it sounds like it was a

00:27:32.740 question about a

00:27:34.680 conservative candidate who had

00:27:37.240 made a pro-life statement.

00:27:38.560 Let's play your clip and then

00:27:40.240 maybe you can explain it a bit

00:27:41.160 for us.

00:27:42.160 Folks, do you think that your

00:27:42.900 flip-flop on kicking out a

00:27:44.040 social conservative candidate

00:27:45.060 hurt your credibility?

00:27:46.980 That was not a flip-flop.

00:27:49.120 What was it?

00:27:49.820 It was an affirmation of the

00:27:54.780 values of the people of

00:27:56.520 Newfoundland and Labrador.

00:27:59.640 All right.

00:28:00.220 Well, what's he talking about?

00:28:01.200 What are you talking about?

00:28:02.080 So there was one of his

00:28:02.920 candidates made some statement

00:28:04.520 about being pro-life.

00:28:05.560 I mean, surely, I mean,

00:28:07.300 Justin Trudeau has weeded out

00:28:09.280 any pro-life candidates from

00:28:11.240 the federal Liberal Party.

00:28:12.660 Are you telling me that the

00:28:13.960 Newfoundland conservatives have

00:28:15.140 taken the Trudeau approach?

00:28:17.420 Oh, absolutely.

00:28:18.120 That's exactly what they've

00:28:18.900 done in the same way that

00:28:20.400 they've taken the Liberal

00:28:21.820 approach to child care.

00:28:23.940 The Liberals campaign on

00:28:24.900 $25 a day child care and

00:28:26.720 the progressive conservatives

00:28:28.420 just copied and pasted that

00:28:30.000 platform point into their

00:28:31.340 campaign.

00:28:32.240 It's not a very conservative

00:28:33.320 idea, especially when each

00:28:35.620 Newfoundland and Labradorian

00:28:36.680 shares $30,000 in government

00:28:39.320 debt.

00:28:39.940 But to talk about this pro-life

00:28:41.280 individual, from what I

00:28:42.980 understand, I was speaking with

00:28:44.060 people on the ground.

00:28:45.380 He didn't really even share

00:28:46.880 anything too crazy.

00:28:47.700 He shared an article from

00:28:49.540 LifeSite, which you know is

00:28:51.160 the pro-life website, and just

00:28:53.920 doing that alone caused this

00:28:55.560 Labradorian candidate to be

00:28:57.460 turfed.

00:28:58.620 At first, the reason why it's a

00:29:01.000 flip-flop, Chez said, oh, no,

00:29:02.680 it's, yeah, whatever, it's fine,

00:29:04.060 I guess.

00:29:04.840 We're dynamic.

00:29:06.080 You know, we're a broad tent

00:29:07.880 party.

00:29:08.840 And then the next day, he's like,

00:29:09.940 oh, never mind.

00:29:10.680 I got to backtrack on that.

00:29:12.580 You're out of there.

00:29:13.160 So it really gives you the sense

00:29:15.920 that he's either, A, not in

00:29:17.500 control of his party, or he is,

00:29:19.300 and he's just a complete amateur

00:29:21.080 about it.

00:29:22.440 Well, it's surprising to me that

00:29:24.160 you say he's neither eloquent nor

00:29:26.860 savvy as a leader, considering he

00:29:29.760 comes from such a political

00:29:31.100 father.

00:29:31.980 I tell you, I can't look at it

00:29:33.280 without seeing his dad, John

00:29:35.240 Crosby.

00:29:36.380 Tell me a little bit about the

00:29:37.940 NDP.

00:29:40.400 Are they even further to the

00:29:43.060 left?

00:29:43.520 What does it mean to be an NDPer

00:29:45.060 in Newfoundland?

00:29:45.940 Are you a socialist?

00:29:46.880 Are you an environmentalist?

00:29:48.100 What's the difference if you're

00:29:49.040 saying the Tories and the

00:29:49.780 liberals are so similar?

00:29:52.220 Well, to be an NDPer means to

00:29:54.260 be someone who's being courted by

00:29:56.440 the progressive conservatives.

00:29:57.700 That's another thing that the PCs

00:29:59.300 were doing that was just not

00:30:00.620 conservative, is they were trying

00:30:01.880 to align themselves with the

00:30:03.400 traditional base of the NDP,

00:30:04.880 saying that, oh, you can come

00:30:06.580 over here if you want a

00:30:07.860 government that you can trust.

00:30:09.720 And the NDP, of course, they

00:30:11.180 haven't formed government, I

00:30:13.200 don't think perhaps ever, in

00:30:14.740 Newfoundland and Labrador.

00:30:15.640 I'm not 100% on that, but I'm

00:30:17.200 pretty sure.

00:30:18.140 I mean, their caucus was two

00:30:19.660 going into the selection, and

00:30:21.480 now they have a caucus of three.

00:30:24.100 So they're not a huge force to

00:30:30.000 be reckoned with in Newfoundland

00:30:30.940 and Labrador, but they do

00:30:32.320 collect between 5% to 10% of

00:30:34.540 the popular vote, which is a

00:30:36.500 proportion of the vote that

00:30:37.840 Chesk was really hoping he could

00:30:40.160 grab, because if you look at the

00:30:42.320 poll results, popular vote

00:30:44.720 numbers pretty much turned out

00:30:46.080 to be within, I believe, 5% of

00:30:49.960 each other, both the Liberals and

00:30:51.040 the PCs.

00:30:52.960 Newfoundland and Labradorians just

00:30:54.080 didn't know who to vote for.

00:30:55.040 Nobody was really inspiring in this

00:30:56.460 election.

00:30:57.340 You had the choice between the

00:30:58.760 governing Liberals and then the

00:31:01.780 opposition Liberals, which were just

00:31:03.640 progressive Conservatives.

00:31:05.080 Yeah.

00:31:05.440 Well, I mean, listen, you and I are

00:31:07.600 both originally from Alberta.

00:31:09.500 I'm an Ontarian now these days, and I

00:31:11.940 think your visit to St. John's

00:31:13.940 yesterday was the first time the

00:31:15.680 rebel has sent someone to Newfoundland,

00:31:17.060 and I'm very glad we did, because I

00:31:19.180 occasionally get emails from our

00:31:20.920 supporters in Atlantic Canada who say,

00:31:22.380 hey, show us a little bit of love, and

00:31:24.580 okay.

00:31:25.580 So I'm glad you were there, and I

00:31:26.760 acknowledge, as I'm sure you do, that

00:31:28.220 we're greener to the subjects.

00:31:30.680 We don't follow Newfoundland or, I

00:31:34.000 mean, we've sent folks to Nova

00:31:35.260 Scotia, we've sent folks to New

00:31:37.380 Brunswick.

00:31:37.740 I've been to Nova Scotia myself for

00:31:39.340 the rebel, but Newfoundland, you're

00:31:41.380 the first guy there, and we haven't

00:31:42.400 been to PEI yet.

00:31:44.340 So I'm glad you're there, and I say

00:31:45.760 that to point out that we're not, I

00:31:47.540 don't feel we have a mastery of the

00:31:50.000 political landscape like I believe we

00:31:52.240 do in Ontario or Alberta or even

00:31:54.240 other parts.

00:31:55.300 But that said, I mean, you're a

00:31:58.080 young guy, you're going to New

00:31:59.080 foundland, which I think is great,

00:32:00.580 because not a lot of people from,

00:32:02.200 you know, the mainland go to

00:32:03.800 Newfoundland, and it was a sign of

00:32:05.120 our respect and our interest in that

00:32:07.160 province and their decision, and I

00:32:08.400 think you did a great job in your

00:32:09.380 reports.

00:32:10.240 But it was interesting to me, you

00:32:11.660 were tweeting about it, because you

00:32:14.100 were there late at night when, you

00:32:15.600 know, our team was in bed here

00:32:17.260 almost, and Mark Critch, who's a

00:32:21.500 Newfoundlander at the CBC with

00:32:23.640 This Hour is 22 Minutes, hardcore

00:32:25.340 liberal partisan.

00:32:27.560 I don't think you mentioned him at

00:32:29.060 all, but he suddenly decided, oh my

00:32:31.320 God, the rebels here in Newfoundland,

00:32:32.800 we must stomp it out.

00:32:35.140 And he went on this crazy rant

00:32:38.960 against you on Twitter again and

00:32:40.760 again, and he wouldn't shut up, and

00:32:42.260 I just kept thinking, holy cow, why

00:32:45.740 is the CBC liberal so panicky and

00:32:49.480 full of rage that you, reporter

00:32:54.320 from The Rebel with a conservative

00:32:55.720 flavor, are daring to set foot there?

00:32:58.100 I thought it was so disproportionate,

00:33:01.580 and I thought, okay, like, even if he

00:33:03.660 claims to have a total command of

00:33:05.820 that province's politics, he's such a

00:33:07.160 partisan liberal that I think we have

00:33:09.360 to take everything he says with a

00:33:10.380 grain of salt, but really, who the

00:33:12.860 heck is he, a government comedian at

00:33:15.340 the state broadcaster, to lecture, to

00:33:18.740 basically say, get out of here, only

00:33:21.100 the CBC and only the liberals can talk

00:33:23.520 for Newfoundland.

00:33:24.240 I thought that was a really, really

00:33:26.160 bizarre intervention, totally unprovoked

00:33:28.780 by the CBC.

00:33:29.900 I thought it was a real feather in

00:33:31.660 your cap that you could cause a

00:33:33.980 Newfoundland liberal like that, like

00:33:35.720 Mark Critch, to totally have an online

00:33:37.980 meltdown.

00:33:38.920 It was really weird to watch for me,

00:33:40.440 though.

00:33:41.820 Well, after he started chirping me and

00:33:44.860 being a real gatekeeper for the people

00:33:46.860 of Newfoundland and Labrador, I had to

00:33:48.580 do a quick Google search of him.

00:33:50.700 I've never actually watched This Hour

00:33:52.540 Has 22 Minutes, I believe the show's

00:33:54.560 called, I've never seen him do anything.

00:33:56.860 The only interaction I've had with him

00:33:58.620 is when he was really upset that I was

00:34:00.040 covering the election, telling me that

00:34:01.640 I knew absolutely nothing, and he was

00:34:04.220 very upset that I credited the CBC with

00:34:07.360 some of their reporting, and I say

00:34:09.940 reporting loosely, of course, they have

00:34:11.400 billions and billions of dollars in

00:34:14.280 annual budgets, so of course they're

00:34:16.080 everywhere and they have someone

00:34:18.080 covering everything, but whether or not

00:34:21.340 they're doing that well or not is a

00:34:22.480 different story.

00:34:23.100 Anyways, I commented and I said, this is

00:34:25.540 what the CBC is saying, added a little

00:34:27.500 bit of commentary, and he went nuts.

00:34:29.160 He was so proud that I shared the state

00:34:32.060 broadcaster's work.

00:34:32.920 So, you know, I guess he doesn't have

00:34:36.400 better things to do.

00:34:37.660 I don't plan on spending much time on

00:34:40.300 him in the future.

00:34:42.620 Yeah, I mean, the only reason I mention

00:34:44.320 it is because it was so odd, but I also

00:34:47.600 found it a little bit encouraging, because

00:34:49.680 no one shoots at a dead duck.

00:34:51.560 You've probably heard that saying.

00:34:53.560 And I think that you should go back to

00:34:55.140 Newfoundland, especially if there's, like

00:34:58.320 you say, if the government will fall, and

00:35:00.280 I think we should give more time and

00:35:01.260 attention to the Atlantic.

00:35:03.940 Well, he offered to bring you out for tea

00:35:06.680 and give you a tour of the town.

00:35:11.940 Maybe I'll take him up on that offer on

00:35:13.840 your behalf and maybe interview him to

00:35:16.040 see what he thinks about the great work

00:35:18.320 that we're doing here at the Rebel.

00:35:19.840 Well, you know, take him up on that.

00:35:21.440 I mean, who knows if he did invite you to

00:35:23.540 meet him.

00:35:23.880 I mean, listen, we're talking too much

00:35:25.200 about Mark Critch.

00:35:26.680 I think he's brittle.

00:35:28.200 I think he's hypersensitive that someone

00:35:30.200 is mucking around in his turf, which

00:35:32.060 tells me, do more of it.

00:35:33.860 But if you go back out there to

00:35:35.820 Newfoundland, maybe he'll give you some

00:35:37.300 time.

00:35:37.540 I think he spends most of his time in

00:35:39.200 Toronto these days.

00:35:39.920 It's just a feeling I get.

00:35:41.320 Anyways, enough talk about the CBC.

00:35:43.100 You did great work on behalf of the

00:35:44.240 Rebel.

00:35:44.720 Thanks for being there and covering the

00:35:46.100 election, our Rebel's first time in

00:35:47.800 Newfoundland.

00:35:49.380 Thanks, Ezra.

00:35:50.180 All right.

00:35:50.500 There you have it.

00:35:50.960 Kian Bexty.

00:35:52.440 Kian is doing great work from all over

00:35:54.440 North America.

00:35:55.000 I encourage you to check out his

00:35:58.460 specialty website we've set up at

00:36:01.320 rebelinvestigates.com, where you can

00:36:04.360 see his recent reports everywhere from

00:36:06.140 Alabama to Florida to San Diego to San

00:36:09.680 Francisco to Winnipeg to Calgary and, of

00:36:12.580 course, Newfoundland and Labrador.

00:36:15.760 Stay with us.

00:36:16.640 More ahead on The Rebel.

00:36:17.280 Hey, welcome back.

00:36:29.420 On my monologue yesterday about a leaked

00:36:31.200 internal memo that shows Trudeau's MPs are

00:36:33.240 starting to panic, Henry writes, the

00:36:35.940 liberals are actually taking Bill Nye

00:36:37.280 seriously?

00:36:37.780 These clowns really have to go.

00:36:40.140 I don't know if they're taking him

00:36:41.120 seriously.

00:36:41.640 They're just reaching out for anyone who

00:36:43.580 connects with the young people.

00:36:45.140 I'm not sure if Bill Nye does that.

00:36:49.360 I've seen Catherine McKenna recently

00:36:51.100 tweet videos by Arnold Schwarzenegger,

00:36:53.360 and I always laugh because Schwarzenegger,

00:36:56.280 besides his mansions and his huge Hummer,

00:36:59.980 he was really the first private citizen

00:37:01.860 to drive a Humvee H1 military vehicle.

00:37:06.380 When he was governor, I know this is hard

00:37:08.500 to believe, but he would take a private

00:37:10.820 jet from his home up to Sacramento.

00:37:13.840 So he would commute every day back and

00:37:17.720 forth by private jet.

00:37:20.800 A private jet every day.

00:37:24.260 So he's the one that Catherine McKenna

00:37:26.500 looks to for moral authority on carbon

00:37:29.220 taxes.

00:37:30.060 Unbelievable.

00:37:31.180 All right, John writes,

00:37:33.060 McKenna should probably post videos of real 0.99

00:37:34.920 scientists speaking intelligently rather than

00:37:37.420 an entertainer keeping our attention with

00:37:38.980 Mentos and Diet Coke explosions and burning

00:37:41.380 globes.

00:37:41.680 I guess she can't find any that back up the

00:37:43.860 hysteria, or she's just lazy, too lazy to seek 1.00

00:37:46.280 them out.

00:37:46.760 Look, I've met her once a few years back,

00:37:49.900 and I pay a lot of attention to her.

00:37:51.860 She is as shallow as a puddle in a prairie in 1.00

00:37:55.960 Saskatchewan.

00:37:56.900 She only has one layer of talking points. 1.00

00:38:04.280 I could probably say that we need to climate

00:38:08.240 action, to combat climate change.

00:38:10.600 She has about four or five things that she just

00:38:13.040 repeats endlessly, and she has never, other than

00:38:15.740 maybe one occasion by Evan Solomon, I'll give him

00:38:17.740 credit, been pressed with a supplementary question.

00:38:20.920 Well, what do you mean by that?

00:38:22.140 Or what about this?

00:38:23.000 Or when you blame the fires in BC on global warming, what

00:38:26.140 about the arson?

00:38:27.500 Or how much would your carbon tax actually change the

00:38:29.880 weather?

00:38:30.260 Or do you really mean to say if we pay your carbon tax,

00:38:33.100 there will no longer be river floods in the world?

00:38:36.280 I don't think in three and a half years, four years, she has

00:38:39.380 ever faced a real interview by someone who's trying to hold

00:38:44.720 her to account because the media party agrees with her.

00:38:47.220 On the Tommy Robinson campaign, Bruce writes,

00:38:52.040 Tommy Robinson's story is highly important because what

00:38:54.040 they're doing to him could be done to us.

00:38:55.880 And like that clip you showed from Game of Thrones, we have to

00:38:57.980 be prepared for the worst.

00:38:59.520 Yeah, you know, forgive me for showing that Game of Thrones.

00:39:01.480 I was sort of tired and on the plane, and it was way too

00:39:04.440 dramatic.

00:39:05.000 But I thought, that character in Game of Thrones, Littlefinger,

00:39:10.980 Peter Baelish, I think is his name.

00:39:12.800 I shouldn't even, I'm embarrassed that I know those details of

00:39:15.160 Game of Thrones, he's the ultimate paranoid, conniving

00:39:19.800 survivor.

00:39:20.740 He's of low moral worth.

00:39:23.620 But that is his secret for how he survived a horrific world.

00:39:29.800 This terrible dystopian fantasy of war and carnage is always

00:39:34.740 thinking, well, what could go wrong?

00:39:36.720 Who could, what friend could be an enemy?

00:39:38.440 What enemy could be a friend?

00:39:39.400 It's a terrible way of living, completely amoral,

00:39:42.180 completely selfish, but that kind of worst case scenario mapping,

00:39:48.240 gaming things out, there is some value to it for moral people to

00:39:54.940 think, okay, well, let us entertain a hypothetical situation where

00:39:58.680 this terrible thing happens in Canada.

00:40:00.700 What would go, happen next?

00:40:02.860 What might respond?

00:40:04.400 What, like, just to game things out.

00:40:06.240 What I took from that, and I shouldn't describe, I shouldn't read

00:40:09.220 too much, and it was just a colorful piece of writing filmed very

00:40:12.140 dramatically.

00:40:13.620 What I took from it is, in dark days, you should contemplate, what if

00:40:19.020 it gets darker?

00:40:20.580 What if it gets darker?

00:40:22.540 And you don't want to be in the darkness, you want to go towards the

00:40:25.200 light.

00:40:26.100 But what if it gets darker and darker?

00:40:27.720 What if the lights are going out across Europe?

00:40:30.640 As Churchill said 80 years ago, well, what if it's happening, I think it

00:40:33.780 was Churchill.

00:40:34.120 What if the lights are going out now?

00:40:37.860 What if Trudeau and Macron and Ardern are turning out the lights now?

00:40:42.600 What's next?

00:40:43.660 I think we should think these things through.

00:40:46.040 And maybe we'll all laugh in a few years when we say, can you imagine we

00:40:50.120 were actually worried about that?

00:40:51.920 We're actually worried about, you know, facial recognition software being

00:40:56.120 linked to a database and what we type in Facebook and our emails and our

00:41:00.260 banking records and our cell phone numbers.

00:41:02.420 And it's all in a database and you can never change.

00:41:05.060 We were so crazy to worry about that.

00:41:07.440 And the Alexa microphone that's on your house all the time and your smart TV

00:41:11.220 that never turns off.

00:41:12.480 We were so crazy to worry about that.

00:41:15.060 So maybe we're just being nervous now at least.

00:41:18.780 But if there's two errors to make, one is being worried where you don't need to

00:41:23.160 be worried.

00:41:24.060 And the other is not being worried where you should be worried.

00:41:27.240 I wonder which of those errors is the better one to make.

00:41:30.640 Well, folks, that's our show for today.

00:41:32.060 We will have a show for you on Monday.

00:41:34.040 I'm delighted to say until then, from all of us here at Rebel World

00:41:38.020 Hardquarters to you at home, keep fighting for freedom while you still got it.
