Rebel News Podcast - Trudeau wants banks to hand over Canadians' personal records — without a search warrant. But we're fighting back!

00:00:00.000 Tonight, Justin Trudeau is ordering Canada's banks to hand over the complete personal records

00:00:05.980 of half a million citizens to the government without a search warrant.

00:00:10.340 What can we do about it?

00:00:11.760 It's October 31st and this is the Ezra Levant Show.

00:00:19.820 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:00:23.620 There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer.

00:00:27.260 You come here once a year with a sign and you feel morally superior.

00:00:30.740 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.

00:00:41.240 Kudos to my former colleague back at the Sun News Network, David Akin, for his very important scoop.

00:00:47.840 Here's the headline.

00:00:49.620 Stats Canada requesting banking information of 500,000 Canadians without their knowledge.

00:00:54.560 Let me read a bit from David's story that he wrote with Andrew Russell.

00:01:00.040 Statistics Canada is asking banks across the country for financial transaction data and personal information of 500,000 Canadians without their knowledge, Global News has learned.

00:01:10.920 A little more.

00:01:11.360 Documents obtained by Global News show this national statistical agency plans to collect individual level financial transactions data and sensitive information like social insurance numbers from Canadian financial institutions to develop a new institutional personal information bank.

00:01:29.360 Oh, oh, just that, eh?

00:01:32.120 Just a database of everything you buy, everything you save, everything you transfer, every time you use an ATM, every time you buy something on your credit card, every time you tap your credit card on a machine, all the money in your account at all the time.

00:01:44.140 Just that.

00:01:45.640 Everything.

00:01:47.140 And it's all attached to your name and social insurance number.

00:01:49.640 Every single thing.

00:01:52.680 Why not just tap right into that little video camera on my laptop computer and just watch me all the time?

00:01:57.880 But what's so incredible here is that this is being done secretly.

00:02:03.500 The proposal is a secret and the data will be swept up secretly.

00:02:07.320 There's no search warrant.

00:02:09.080 There's no probable cause.

00:02:10.900 These half million people did nothing wrong.

00:02:13.600 That's the point.

00:02:14.240 You don't have to do anything wrong.

00:02:15.520 You're just chosen to be the lucky ones and you won't even know if you were chosen and your bank will not even be able to tell you that they've given your information to Trudeau.

00:02:25.600 Here, watch some of David's video about this.

00:02:28.240 Compare just how secret it is to the official spin from Trudeau's spokesman.

00:02:33.360 And the level of detail it wants is significant.

00:02:36.000 Not only does it want a complete description of each transaction, the value, the date, the location, and so on,

00:02:41.680 it wants to link each of those transactions to an individual person by asking banks and others to turn over the following information about each of its customers.

00:02:52.500 Social insurance number, date of birth, name, gender, and address.

00:02:57.040 Banks will turn over all this information without the knowledge or consent of those 500,000 randomly selected Canadians on StatsCan's list.

00:03:06.960 We're not keeping Canadians in the dark.

00:03:09.680 We're fully transparent about the data that we collect and how we collect it and we're happy to speak about it.

00:03:16.360 Hang on.

00:03:19.760 You'll know every intimate detail of every dime I spend.

00:03:23.580 Where?

00:03:23.900 When?

00:03:24.200 How?

00:03:24.800 To whom?

00:03:25.500 From what bank?

00:03:26.440 From what account?

00:03:27.220 From which credit card?

00:03:28.480 It's all going to the government.

00:03:30.220 I won't know if I've been selected for this data dump.

00:03:33.300 I won't know what is being done with this data.

00:03:35.880 But you've got the gall to look into the camera and say you're being very open with Canadians about it.

00:03:42.840 You're lying to me and I can see you're lying to me and you know you're lying and I know you're lying and you know that I know you're lying,

00:03:52.080 but you're lying anyways because it's Justin Trudeau.

00:03:55.520 I mean, what are you going to do?

00:03:57.140 He's so dreamy.

00:03:58.560 And if you object, you're obviously an Islamophobic bigot who loves global warming, so shut up.

00:04:02.980 Oh, and by the way, this starts in January, which is 62 days from now.

00:04:09.400 Now, Justin Trudeau says this is very necessary to help him make better government decisions.

00:04:14.260 Really?

00:04:14.840 And how would that work?

00:04:16.960 Would Justin Trudeau, knowing that you spent a dollar on a candy bar and knowing what store you bought it in and when you bought it and what credit card you used,

00:04:25.240 all that time and place data would be in there.

00:04:29.160 Would that really help him make better decisions about pipelines?

00:04:33.360 Would he maybe not be bringing in a carbon tax?

00:04:36.140 Would he not be sending our peacekeepers to Mali where they're in great danger?

00:04:40.120 Would he maybe have negotiated a better NAFTA deal?

00:04:42.740 Would he be committing fewer diplomatic incidents like he just did by snubbing Brazil's new president?

00:04:48.120 Would he be less corrupt maybe?

00:04:49.640 You know, he's got five convictions for breaking the Conflict of Interest Act.

00:04:52.340 Do you really think that if you let Justin Trudeau literally know every time you spent a dollar where, when, how, to whom, from whom,

00:05:01.120 do you really think that would make him a better prime minister and fewer stupid decisions?

00:05:04.860 Yeah.

00:05:04.980 Justin Trudeau's problems are a bigger problem than can be fixed by giving him your bank secrets.

00:05:12.960 That ain't going to solve the problem with Trudeau, folks.

00:05:15.080 But just one more point before moving on.

00:05:18.080 Why do they need to know your name and your date of birth and your social insurance number and your driver's license?

00:05:23.780 Why do they need to attach that to your info?

00:05:27.540 If it's just to build some data set for research, if it's just some, I don't know, some economic model about Canada's new economy,

00:05:36.040 well, then why do they need your name and your social insurance number and your date of birth and your driver's license?

00:05:41.000 Why do they attach your individual identifier to it?

00:05:45.000 That doesn't make any sense, does it?

00:05:48.420 Unless, of course, there are still some secrets about this that haven't been disclosed yet.

00:05:51.760 I mean, this whole thing was supposed to be a secret.

00:05:53.880 David Akin's report blew that open.

00:05:55.700 Congrats again to him.

00:05:57.320 But what hasn't been revealed yet?

00:06:00.500 Remember a few months ago when Justin Trudeau threatened Facebook if they didn't cooperate with him?

00:06:05.500 I wonder what private deals they got up to about sharing data with the government there.

00:06:12.140 By the way, it's obviously against the law to snoop in this way, to be a voyeur, to be a peeping tom this way.

00:06:17.560 Privacy laws.

00:06:18.260 I was about to say when private companies do this sort of things, they're liable under various privacy statutes.

00:06:24.380 But who's kidding whom?

00:06:26.800 Look at this story.

00:06:27.640 Privacy commissioner slams slow to non-existent federal action in light of major data breaches, also from Global News.

00:06:35.000 This is just last month.

00:06:36.040 When there are clear-cut cases of data being leaked or stolen, like by Facebook or by Equifax or Nissan, Trudeau doesn't do anything about it.

00:06:45.560 In fact, he says, hey, I want to do that too.

00:06:48.780 He wants to get in on the game.

00:06:50.000 Now, the conservative opposition brought this up on Parliament for the past two days, and I'm glad they did.

00:06:54.900 Here's Candace Bergen, one of my favorite MPs. 1.00

00:06:57.420 Here's what she said, and listen to the answer.

00:06:59.720 Mr. Speaker, there were disturbing reports this weekend that Stats Canada has informed banks and credit card companies that it expects them to hand over personal financial data of at least half a million Canadians without their knowledge or consent.

00:07:13.360 Even worse, banks won't be allowed to inform their customers that the government is following every single one of their transactions.

00:07:20.580 With a long history of government privacy breaches, Canadians are rightly worried.

00:07:24.860 Why are the Liberals collecting the personal data of Canadians without telling them?

00:07:30.240 Honourable Prime Minister.

00:07:32.440 Our government is ensuring that the personal data of Canadians are protected.

00:07:37.760 Statistics Canada will use the anonymized data for statistical purposes only.

00:07:42.980 No personal information will be made public.

00:07:45.860 I understand Statistics Canada is actively engaged with the Privacy Commissioner's office on this project and is working with them to ensure Canadians' banking information remains protected and private.

00:07:59.160 High quality and timely data are critical to ensuring the government programs remain relevant and effective for Canadians.

00:08:06.480 Hang on, he said the data would not be made public, that it would be protected and private.

00:08:13.100 Those are the words he used.

00:08:13.940 But I want my data, my personal information, all my banking details, I want it protected and private from him.

00:08:22.180 It's from him and the government that I want it kept.

00:08:24.620 It's from him and his political busybodies, his ideological warriors, his scolds, his inquisitors.

00:08:29.520 I don't want the general public to get my banking data.

00:08:32.460 I don't want hackers to get it.

00:08:33.980 But look, I'm 46 years old now.

00:08:35.780 I've had a bank account since I was a student.

00:08:38.600 And for all those decades, the bank has kept my private business private.

00:08:42.760 I'm not really worried about them.

00:08:45.400 I'm worried about that guy, about Trudeau.

00:08:47.620 It's not protected and private if it's in his grubby hands.

00:08:54.080 Let me show you the next question and answer, too.

00:08:56.000 Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government plans to access the personal financial information of Canadians without their knowledge or consent.

00:09:04.860 Personal information like bill payments, online purchases, credit card transactions, cash withdrawals and deposits, even e-transfers between family members.

00:09:15.780 And the list goes on.

00:09:16.840 Will the Prime Minister do the right thing and immediately assure Canadians that this intrusion into their lives will be stopped?

00:09:25.360 Right Honour of the Prime Minister.

00:09:27.700 Mr. Speaker, Canadians rightly expect that government agencies and groups like Statistics Canada work with the Privacy Commissioner to ensure that their private lives are protected.

00:09:40.220 But, Mr. Speaker, need I remind you and all Canadians that it was the Conservative government that chose to stop the long-form census, to cancel the long-form census as a way of protecting people's private information.

00:09:55.240 What that led to was more policy based on ideology and less policy based on evidence like we are doing now.

00:10:01.980 Their attacks on data and information continue.

00:10:04.460 Their attacks on data and information.

00:10:10.640 Data, information, that's just numbers.

00:10:12.720 Numbers don't have rights. 0.99

00:10:14.880 People have rights.

00:10:15.980 You can't attack data.

00:10:17.540 You can attack people, and in this case, people's privacy.

00:10:20.540 The number of dollars in a bank account, that's not the problem.

00:10:24.540 The problem is that that number of dollars in a bank account belongs to someone who has an expectation and a right to privacy.

00:10:30.060 And Trudeau was snooping on them as if the number is the center of things instead of the person being spied on.

00:10:37.120 What a bizarre and audacious spin to criticize the Conservatives by comparing how they shut down the other snooping, the mandatory long-form census a few years back.

00:10:45.900 Well, yeah, for the same reasons.

00:10:47.840 It was invasive.

00:10:49.020 The government doesn't need to know every single detail about our lives on pain of imprisonment.

00:10:53.920 Well, now they don't have to go through a census.

00:10:55.880 They just grab your information from the bank.

00:10:57.900 No need to make you fill out a form.

00:10:59.760 Just grab it secretly.

00:11:02.280 Don't tell me that giving Justin Trudeau a GoPro live cam about my life and finances will make him make better decisions.

00:11:09.660 He's flawed.

00:11:10.360 He has poor judgment.

00:11:11.180 He has a poor work ethic.

00:11:12.580 He's corrupt.

00:11:13.360 He's surrounded by ideological extremists.

00:11:15.620 None of that will change if he knows what your vacation budget is or your grocery budget or your phone budget or if you borrow or loan money to a friend.

00:11:23.080 None of that will change.

00:11:24.140 He'll just be snooping about you.

00:11:25.620 He's a pervy voyeur.

00:11:26.900 Voyeur.

00:11:27.520 He doesn't deserve that information.

00:11:29.180 And I don't trust him.

00:11:31.060 He's a lawbreaker himself, as you know.

00:11:32.600 He's the first prime minister ever convicted while in office of breaking the Conflict of Interest Act.

00:11:38.800 He took huge bribes.

00:11:40.380 That $100,000 free vacation on that billionaire's island in the Caribbean.

00:11:45.160 He was convicted of that.

00:11:47.660 Yeah, no, I don't trust him to follow the law.

00:11:50.980 Here's another story, also from Global.

00:11:52.380 Good for them.

00:11:52.840 Canada Revenue Agency logs 2,338 privacy breaches in just under two years.

00:11:59.620 Revenue Canada staff themselves breached security and snooped on people they liked or hated or were neighbors worth or spied on people more than 2,300 times.

00:12:09.400 80,000 people had their privacy breached.

00:12:12.340 And remember, that's just the stuff you tell Revenue Canada.

00:12:16.420 But what you tell Revenue Canada is a sliver of a fraction of what your total banking information is.

00:12:22.100 Everything.

00:12:22.660 Every sent in, out, when, who, where.

00:12:24.580 There was a huge breach at the CRA recently, but according to the government, they covered it up.

00:12:30.500 So no point making a fuss about it.

00:12:32.540 No point in calling the police.

00:12:34.240 Look at this.

00:12:34.620 This is from another story.

00:12:36.500 This is from the CBC.

00:12:38.500 The type of personal information included name, contact information, social insurance number, income and deductions, and employment information.

00:12:45.560 Law enforcement will not be notified.

00:12:48.400 So yeah, yeah, no problem.

00:12:49.780 Just keep it a secret.

00:12:50.600 Keep it a secret that government snoops or snooping.

00:12:54.960 Keep it a secret when there's a data breach.

00:12:56.500 Just keep saying you're protecting the data from the public when it's you, the government, from whom we want protection.

00:13:03.220 By the way, I don't trust Trudeau or his wrecking crew, but I wouldn't trust a conservative prime minister either.

00:13:08.900 I wouldn't trust any politician or the thousands, you know, I mean, the thousands of security breaches they already show.

00:13:15.560 You can't trust anyone in government.

00:13:17.100 Purocrats, clerks, whomever.

00:13:18.840 They snoop.

00:13:20.600 They take a peek.

00:13:22.420 They gossip.

00:13:23.580 Maybe they are bored.

00:13:25.020 They search their neighbors, their friends, their enemies, an ex-wife, an ex-husband, whatever.

00:13:31.040 They just take a peek.

00:13:32.620 Oh, he's spending money on that.

00:13:34.300 Oh, he's spending money at the bar.

00:13:35.740 He must be drinking again.

00:13:37.500 Oh, isn't that funny?

00:13:39.000 He spent money on a hotel.

00:13:40.540 I wonder if his wife knows.

00:13:42.520 You don't think that kind of snooping is going to go on?

00:13:44.580 And by the way, they've been doing this already under Trudeau, full tilt.

00:13:48.760 One more story from Global.

00:13:51.320 StatCan scooped up 15 years of personal financial data from Canadian Credit Bureau.

00:13:56.380 Let me read a little bit.

00:13:57.200 This is also from David Aiken and Andrew Russell.

00:13:59.040 As Statistics Canada plans to build a massive new personal information bank with a real-time

00:14:03.920 financial transaction data of hundreds of thousands of Canadians, Global News has learned

00:14:08.900 the agency has scooped up 15 years worth of credit rating information from a major international

00:14:13.100 credit bureau, which could include millions of Canadians.

00:14:15.700 The data harvest was done without the consent or knowledge of those Canadians whose credit

00:14:21.000 history was passed on to Statistics Canada.

00:14:24.700 Oh, just that.

00:14:27.120 So what can be done here?

00:14:28.360 Well, I'm glad David Aiken broke this news.

00:14:31.160 I'm glad the opposition is asking questions about it.

00:14:33.380 But you know, that's not going to go anywhere.

00:14:35.800 You see, Justin Trudeau, he doesn't give a damn.

00:14:37.760 In fact, he loves it.

00:14:39.040 You don't think he's going to take a little peek himself?

00:14:42.300 So where are the civil liberties associations?

00:14:44.120 This is their sort of thing.

00:14:45.700 David Aiken quoted the former privacy commissioner, Anne Kavoukian, in his story.

00:14:50.080 She's well regarded.

00:14:51.340 She was shocked by what Trudeau's up to.

00:14:53.780 But the banks and the current privacy commissioner, well, they're pretty obedient.

00:14:58.000 I mean, Canada's banks are extremely regulated.

00:15:00.860 There is no chance they would quarrel with the federal government that could kill them or

00:15:05.280 punish them to the tune of billions of dollars if they said a word out of line with the Liberal

00:15:09.120 Party.

00:15:09.420 They're all in this together with Trudeau.

00:15:12.060 And where are the civil liberties associations?

00:15:14.140 Well, it's a joke.

00:15:14.980 Natalie DeRosier, she was the general counsel for the Canadian Civil Liberties Association

00:15:20.720 for years.

00:15:22.140 Where's she now? 0.99

00:15:23.340 Well, she ran for the Liberal Party.

00:15:25.960 I don't know if I mentioned that.

00:15:27.080 She seems to be fine with all this because it's the liberals, you know.

00:15:31.200 How about that BC civil liberties group?

00:15:32.960 They used to be pretty good.

00:15:33.960 Yeah, their leader joined the NDP.

00:15:37.700 Look, Canadian civil liberties groups are a sham.

00:15:40.440 They never stand up for actual freedom.

00:15:42.380 Just left wing things.

00:15:43.940 They love their Omar Khadr's.

00:15:45.440 Not so good on the free speech or the banking privacy.

00:15:48.380 You'd think they'd be setting their hair on fire.

00:15:50.400 Half a million people's intimate details just going to be dumped into the government's

00:15:55.020 hands.

00:15:55.340 Oh, and that's half a million every year.

00:15:56.960 Every year they'll choose another half a million people.

00:15:59.940 As if that's not going to be hacked.

00:16:02.380 As if it's not going to be hacked by China, by commercial hackers. 0.82

00:16:06.300 As if it won't be searched by Justin Trudeau's liberal war room looking for dirt.

00:16:10.980 As if it won't be.

00:16:11.900 I don't want to just talk about this or complain about this.

00:16:15.560 I want to do something about this because someone has to and who will.

00:16:19.820 Step one, obviously, is to let Justin Trudeau know that this is outrageous and unacceptable.

00:16:24.360 And it's not the data that has the rights here.

00:16:27.000 It's us as Canadians.

00:16:28.460 Stop snooping, you little perv.

00:16:31.740 You peeping Tom.

00:16:33.360 Stop snooping.

00:16:36.220 So we've set up a massive petition at stop snooping.ca.

00:16:39.380 Hey, I want to get 50,000 names on this and against this insanity.

00:16:43.600 50,000 names.

00:16:44.420 And no, I won't give your personal details to Justin Trudeau.

00:16:48.380 Just your name and come to think of it.

00:16:49.820 I think I'll redact your last name.

00:16:51.480 I'll just give me your first name because I don't want him to put you in some database

00:16:55.160 as like a dissident.

00:16:57.320 But sign our petition and we'll show him your first name.

00:17:00.060 And I want to show him 50,000 Canadians are opposed to this.

00:17:04.960 But look, that's not enough.

00:17:06.000 So today I spoke with a lawyer who specializes in class action lawsuits.

00:17:12.340 And I asked him for advice about this.

00:17:13.820 I thought a class action lawsuit would be the best approach.

00:17:16.420 But he convinced me that a better approach is to hire a privacy lawyer and to file a complaint

00:17:22.360 with Trudeau's privacy commissioner.

00:17:24.120 And when that is inevitably rejected by Trudeau's handpicked man, to appeal that for judicial

00:17:30.840 review to an actual court.

00:17:33.380 So you're suing, suing actually Trudeau and his privacy commissioner.

00:17:39.420 You're not suing as a class action, but under privacy law to have the whole scheme rendered

00:17:44.340 illegal and to make a constitutional argument if necessary.

00:17:48.480 I thought that sounded right.

00:17:49.740 That sounded right to me.

00:17:50.740 Now, right now, we're trying to recruit just the right privacy lawyer, someone who doesn't

00:17:54.860 mind taking on Justin Trudeau and all the powers that be and all the snoops and all the peeping

00:18:00.360 toms from Justin Trudeau to Mark Zuckerberg to challenge them and fight back.

00:18:05.640 I hope to have more concrete news with the name of a lawyer willing to fight the fight.

00:18:10.260 I don't have that name ready to reveal yet.

00:18:11.980 I will keep you posted.

00:18:13.200 But this is serious.

00:18:14.580 I mean, it's just the thing to drive people underground, actually, to get people to switch 1.00

00:18:18.900 to Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency, to get people to set up a foreign bank account, or

00:18:23.720 maybe just to walk around with $1,000 cash and buy everything with cash instead of doing

00:18:30.080 it electronically so the government can spy on you.

00:18:33.780 I mean, seriously, would you want Justin Trudeau, that scofflaw, that five times convicted,

00:18:41.980 law-breaking, ethically challenged snoop, having access to your most private business?

00:18:48.940 No, not me.

00:18:49.760 Not me.

00:18:51.540 So please sign our petition at stopsnooping.ca.

00:18:56.300 Let's get started.

00:18:57.400 I hope to have a privacy lawyer in place by next week, maybe even sooner.

00:19:01.520 I mean, seriously.

00:19:02.360 It is bad enough the kind of spying the government does on us now.

00:19:06.640 And the thousands of security breaches they do, you saw those stats from the Canada Revenue

00:19:11.560 Agency, the snoops and the pervs and the peeping toms there, Trudeau's own five convictions

00:19:17.000 for breaking the law, but giving them everything in real time about our daily lives, from when

00:19:23.640 we buy a pack of gum to who we send money to in an interactive e-payment.

00:19:27.560 Yeah, no thanks.

00:19:29.480 Please go to stopsnooping.ca.

00:19:31.380 Welcome back.

00:19:48.660 Well, there is a battle in the court of public opinion every day.

00:19:51.720 We try and fight that.

00:19:52.980 There are political battles.

00:19:54.420 But these days, as you know, so many of the big decisions in life are made in the court

00:19:59.140 of law, either through proper courts or through the kangaroo courts of human rights commissions.

00:20:05.320 And in that field, I believe that conservatives are absent most of the time, underfunded and

00:20:12.180 under-resourced, under-lawyered.

00:20:15.400 There's one happy exception in Canada, and that is our friends at the Justice Center for

00:20:20.820 Constitutional Freedoms.

00:20:22.120 And John Carpe, their boss, joins us in studio now.

00:20:25.460 John, great to see you again.

00:20:26.960 Good to see you.

00:20:27.500 You know what, you come with updates on two important cases.

00:20:31.240 I want to talk about them.

00:20:32.680 The first one involves a fella who has a last name that is, I think, German in origin.

00:20:40.500 It's Grabber, G-R-A-B-H-E-R. 1.00

00:20:43.660 And we have a picture of him holding up a license plate.

00:20:46.500 As you know, in most jurisdictions, you can get a vanity plate.

00:20:50.600 That's his name, Grabber.

00:20:51.740 I mean, there's other names, often German, that sound a little funny in English.

00:20:56.700 Fuchs, F-U-C-H-S, Fokker, F-O-K-K-E-R. 0.99

00:21:01.640 These are real names in German.

00:21:04.020 And I guess they sound like goofy phrases or even swears in English.

00:21:09.120 But that really is his name.

00:21:11.180 But the Nova Scotia government won't let him have that plate anymore, will they?

00:21:14.640 He had it for 27 years.

00:21:16.980 First, it was his father that had that Grabber, or in German you would say Grebel, but Grabber license plate.

00:21:24.660 And then it was his son that had it.

00:21:26.720 And now it's Loren Grabber himself.

00:21:28.640 He's in his early 70s.

00:21:30.220 27 years, that last name, it would be like Levant.

00:21:34.340 You know, it's your last name.

00:21:36.040 You're proud of it.

00:21:36.620 And there was one anonymous complaint who said that this was offensive, and immediately the government responded by pulling it.

00:21:47.260 And ostensibly, it may have had something to do with the U.S. election in 2016 and a certain candidate and, you know, Grabber.

00:21:55.800 Because if you use your imagination, it could say Grabber.

00:21:59.160 But nobody was using their imagination for 27 years.

00:22:02.520 So we filed a court action against the Nova Scotia government for Loren Grabber's right to go back to the 27-year tradition of proudly displaying his last name on his car, on the license plate.

00:22:17.420 And tell me an update on that.

00:22:19.300 You've recently filed an expert report in the court.

00:22:23.900 And we're familiar with that expert, Dr. Deborah So, who's been very courageous at pushing back against the excesses of radical feminism.

00:22:33.320 Tell me a little bit about what she testified.

00:22:36.460 Well, the Nova Scotia government got an expert report from a professor at McGill University, Kerry Rentschler, who said that the last name Grabber promotes violence against women.

00:22:49.280 And displaying this name is going to lead to more rapes taking place in Canada. 1.00

00:22:54.360 Oh, my God.

00:22:55.360 Just crazy.

00:22:56.400 Well, then maybe they ought to lock Grabber himself up.

00:22:58.860 Maybe they ought to force him to change his name because simply being in the room and saying, my name's Grabber.

00:23:04.540 Yeah.

00:23:05.200 Well, and there's businesses.

00:23:06.180 There's Grabber.

00:23:06.700 If you Google Grabber, you'll find there's Grabber Consulting Limited is the name of his wife's company.

00:23:11.980 There's American companies with the name Grabber.

00:23:14.420 So, Dr. Deborah So, we had to, and it's unfortunate that the litigation has to get to this.

00:23:21.420 But Nova Scotia put in an expert report, so we have to respond and put in our expert report.

00:23:26.180 And tell me a little bit about what Dr. So's expert report says.

00:23:29.560 In a nutshell, that the Rentschler report just makes no sense.

00:23:33.260 That's sad.

00:23:33.820 I mean, imagine the government commissioning, like spending money, finding an expert in a different province and having her justify this.

00:23:41.860 Now, by the way, Dr. So points out that there are some vanity plates in Canada.

00:23:51.040 One has the word, chuckling, penis, which actually is not the last name of the person who has it.

00:23:58.940 That's someone named Sylvain Poirier, who for some reason wanted a license plate that says penis.

00:24:03.800 Now, that's goofy, and he's not even pretending it's his name.

00:24:06.540 But that was upheld because, if I'm not mistaken, that was, you know, that's a body part, and you might be shy about it, but it's not in itself obscene.

00:24:16.760 Is that what the Quebec ruling was?

00:24:18.200 The Quebec authority in charge of license plates said that both penis and anus were acceptable as license plates.

00:24:25.200 I mean, I don't know who would want that on their license plate.

00:24:28.820 I'll be honest with you, but if you can have that for free speech, surely Mr. Grabber can have his name that he's had for 27 years.

00:24:36.260 He ought to, and the case is going to be heard in April of 2019.

00:24:40.740 It was set for September, but the government was dragging its heels with the report, and they weren't meeting deadlines and so on.

00:24:46.580 So the September 2018 hearing had to be canceled and bumped over to April of 2019, which is a disgrace.

00:24:56.480 You know, I want to talk about one more case you have, and this looks like a silly case and a goofy case and something like a clickbait story online.

00:25:06.620 But I think it's the front line of a battle of government censorship and what you can and can't say.

00:25:12.800 And I'm not even kidding when I say if you ban a license plate today, you ban his company name tomorrow, and then maybe you ban his own name the next day.

00:25:20.880 Just because some, you know, it's childish to say, oh, ha, ha, ha, Graber sounds like Grabber, or just like Falker sounds like a swear word.

00:25:30.160 Ha, ha, like that's a Beavis and Butthead level childish cartoon joke.

00:25:34.360 But now the government of Nova Scotia and this highfalutin professor are saying, no, no, no, that's not a joke.

00:25:39.940 That's really a problem we need to censor.

00:25:42.020 Like, you've got to fight these goofy fights when you see them.

00:25:45.000 You've got to stamp them out before this craziness becomes normal.

00:25:48.260 Well, and the whole thing, you see, with the Grabber license plate, part of the problem we face in Canada is that there's this false notion that, you know, that I have a right to not be offended and to not hear and see.

00:26:00.940 That's a counterfeit human right not to be offended.

00:26:03.040 No such thing.

00:26:03.840 And it can't function.

00:26:04.860 If I have a right not to be offended, you do not have free speech right.

00:26:07.800 And vice versa.

00:26:08.460 If you have a right not to be offended, I don't have a free speech right.

00:26:11.540 So this is why the Grabber case, one of the reasons it's important is you've got an anonymous complainant who says, I wonder who that is.

00:26:19.840 And says, I'm offended.

00:26:21.760 And then the government rushes in and says, oh, you feel offended?

00:26:24.440 We're going to kill off free speech rights.

00:26:27.260 And that's where the battle is fought.

00:26:29.720 And that's where we're fighting it.

00:26:30.840 The fact that it's anonymous raises alarms for me, too.

00:26:33.340 Is it some vendetta against him?

00:26:35.780 Is it someone even from within the Human Rights Commission?

00:26:38.600 It's even some politician who thinks, well, if I were to raise this in a bill, I'd be laughed out of town.

00:26:44.120 But my friends at the Human Rights Commission will let me make it.

00:26:46.520 And I think there's a lot of problems with secret justice.

00:26:49.200 Speaking of which, I want to talk about another case.

00:26:50.960 So that Lauren Grabber case is very interesting.

00:26:52.840 It's going to court in 2019.

00:26:54.580 And we will keep in touch with you on that.

00:26:56.460 It's very interesting.

00:26:57.340 But you have another case that you've been fighting in British Columbia.

00:27:00.320 But I know that there's similar cases in Ontario and other jurisdictions.

00:27:04.180 I want to read from a press release on your website.

00:27:06.120 Victory for B.C. esthetician who faced human rights complaint for refusal to perform waxing service on trans women.

00:27:16.540 So this is a guy who has announced that he's a gal.

00:27:20.740 Yes.

00:27:21.180 All right.

00:27:21.680 And I've said a hundred times, if there's someone who's confused and troubled, don't pick on him.

00:27:26.320 Don't make him feel bad.

00:27:27.360 Don't be mean to him.

00:27:28.200 But this guy here, you were just telling me before we turned the cameras on, has gone to 16 different estheticians and said,

00:27:39.540 I want you to wax me down there, even though he's not a lady down there. 0.99

00:27:45.280 And he's going to all these female estheticians, and he's literally imposing himself on them.

00:27:52.660 And when they say, I'm sorry, we're not qualified, or that's just weird, he's suing them.

00:27:57.320 16 of them.

00:27:58.060 Is that accurate?

00:27:59.060 Human rights complaints, 16 of them.

00:28:01.820 16.

00:28:02.780 And he won't accept an apology.

00:28:04.380 He's demanding $2,500 a piece.

00:28:07.380 So that's a shakedown.

00:28:08.800 Shakedown.

00:28:09.380 Yeah, it's a shakedown.

00:28:10.240 But an apology for what?

00:28:11.620 I mean, it's even a different thing.

00:28:14.120 It is a different procedure.

00:28:15.520 In fact, a guy could get hurt.

00:28:19.240 We were going to bring an expert witness.

00:28:21.040 We've won the case now.

00:28:22.140 It didn't go to trial.

00:28:22.860 The guy backed down.

00:28:23.640 When he saw that the woman that he was trying to pick on and extort $2,500 from, when he saw that she was represented,

00:28:31.400 we said, well, we're going to represent her at the hearing.

00:28:33.400 We're going to call an expert who is an esthetician who waxes guys.

00:28:38.540 Yeah.

00:28:38.920 Okay.

00:28:39.660 Boy, this is weird stuff, eh?

00:28:41.840 This woman waxes guys. 1.00

00:28:43.620 It's a different procedure.

00:28:45.020 It's a different kind of wax.

00:28:46.480 And you have to be trained and you have to know what you're doing because there's some men that want that done.

00:28:51.780 Okay.

00:28:52.240 So we were going to call her and she had agreed to come as an expert witness at the hearing and testify that the procedure,

00:28:57.540 the waxing procedure for men is fundamentally different.

00:29:00.160 You can't do it without proper training.

00:29:01.960 And then the complainant backed down and there was a second case.

00:29:07.660 We acted for a second esthetician, also a woman, also a single mom.

00:29:13.340 Yeah.

00:29:13.520 And he had complained and she was devastated.

00:29:16.980 It was so stressful.

00:29:18.040 Yeah.

00:29:18.260 And then demanding, you know, your apology is not good enough.

00:29:20.420 I want $2,500.

00:29:21.120 I just keep thinking, apology for what?

00:29:23.900 I think there's something really weird about a guy who says, I'm a girl.

00:29:28.960 Okay, fine.

00:29:29.960 Don't pick on him.

00:29:30.860 But now he's going to 16 days.

00:29:33.320 He's going to every single esthetician and saying, get to work, ladies, because I'm a lady just like you, despite my biology. 1.00

00:29:40.960 And he's insisting the most intimate, personal, private things that these women are forced to work on him and pretend he's a her.

00:29:51.800 He's being abusive to them.

00:29:54.220 He's violating their privacy, their norms.

00:29:57.780 It's so obvious to me that he's looking for some psychological affirmation that he really is a woman because only a woman could be involved in something so incredibly intimate.

00:30:09.860 And I think he's using these 16 people as some sort of therapy for him psychologically.

00:30:16.360 And when they resist, he's punishing them.

00:30:19.080 The fact that the Human Rights Commission of B.C. has allowed 16 such complaints is proof that that whole commission is rotten to the core and has to be shut down.

00:30:29.600 Well, you know, they are kangaroo courts.

00:30:32.840 I wish I could disagree with you.

00:30:34.600 But you and I both, you've read enough cases.

00:30:37.080 I mean, the Kimberly Nixon case, right?

00:30:38.640 The guy who wants to be a volunteer counselor.

00:30:43.200 At a rape crisis.

00:30:44.640 For women who have been raped.

00:30:45.700 And he wants to be the volunteer counselor.

00:30:47.520 In a room, in a building where no men are allowed to be in because it's a city where women. 1.00

00:30:52.060 And he won.

00:30:52.700 He won at the Human Rights.

00:30:54.060 It took a real court to straighten that one out because ultimately it was straight.

00:30:57.460 No, but the Human Rights Tribunal of British Columbia said, yes, this guy has a right to counsel women who have been raped.

00:31:05.440 I remember that case.

00:31:06.760 And this was before trans became a big deal. 0.97

00:31:10.120 I think that went all the way up to the B.C. Court of Appeal, if I recall.

00:31:12.640 I believe so.

00:31:13.000 100,000 bucks in legal fees or more that this rape crisis center had to take away from helping real rape victims to fighting this man, a big six-foot-something guy who said, I want to be in the rape crisis center because I'm a woman now. 0.64

00:31:28.040 Well, and by the way, there, the staff were nice to him.

00:31:33.220 They gave him a gift.

00:31:34.140 They apologized to him, but they said, sorry, we can't let a six-foot-something guy like you, in drag essentially, come into the rape crisis center for women who have just been raped.

00:31:43.820 And they had paranoia about the rapist breaking in and men sneaking in.

00:31:47.840 And there was testimony in that case, I'm glad you reminded me of it, of women who said, had he been allowed in there, they simply wouldn't have gone to the rape crisis center because they wanted a safe, a true safe place.

00:31:59.260 A true safe place.

00:31:59.580 I'm not talking about a psychological safe place.

00:32:01.440 You've just been raped. 0.55

00:32:02.660 You need a place to go.

00:32:03.840 The Vancouver Rape Relief Center was the place.

00:32:05.640 And this guy said, let me in.

00:32:08.500 That's outrageous.

00:32:09.260 Well, what's going on now is typically the complaints are public and you can find out the name of the complainant.

00:32:17.580 That's the name of, that's how our justice system normally works. 0.99

00:32:19.840 Unless there's like a minor child involved or some very rare circumstance, our justice is supposed to be open and public in Canada.

00:32:26.720 And thus far, the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal is not releasing the names of the, we were aware of two.

00:32:33.640 The two cases we took on, both of them were one without even going to a hearing because the complainant backed down.

00:32:40.400 The other 14, we're trying to get the names of these 14 female estheticians in British Columbia, mostly greater as, well, we don't know for sure, but we believe the greater Vancouver area.

00:32:55.480 I mean, I mean.

00:32:56.080 So how do you, if you can't get the names of the 14 women he's suing, can you tell me how you know they exist?

00:33:02.060 The Human Rights Tribunal told us so.

00:33:04.840 So the Human Rights Tribunal of B.C. has told you that this menace.

00:33:09.600 That this guy has filed 16 complaints in total.

00:33:12.040 But they won't tell you who the other, it's a secret.

00:33:13.640 They won't tell us the other 14, it's a secret.

00:33:15.720 Why is it a secret?

00:33:17.020 What's so secretive?

00:33:17.960 Can you tell me his name?

00:33:22.280 We've gone with J.Y. is what we've gone.

00:33:25.840 Is there a reason why?

00:33:27.000 Like this, I regard him as a menace.

00:33:28.680 He's basically being a predator on these, and you mentioned some of them are single women, trying to make a living by waxing other women. 0.95

00:33:36.320 It's an aesthetic thing.

00:33:37.060 It's girl stuff. 1.00

00:33:37.740 Guys shouldn't even, you know, know about these things.

00:33:40.320 I mean, it's a girl thing. 0.96

00:33:41.720 It's a girl thing. 0.99

00:33:42.180 And that's why he wants to be in it.

00:33:43.980 Yes.

00:33:44.820 Yeah.

00:33:44.980 You know, I mean, guys don't go into nail salons.

00:33:47.760 Guys don't do those things.

00:33:49.240 He's going in there because he wants affirmation that he is a girl.

00:33:52.200 And you know what?

00:33:52.840 A guy wants his nails done, I don't even really care. 0.99

00:33:55.100 But when you're saying, wax my, you know, twig and berries, you are becoming a man as yourself.

00:34:01.620 And the Human Rights Tribunal is keeping his identity secret.

00:34:04.840 Yeah.

00:34:05.720 On what grounds?

00:34:06.920 Well, he's claimed that he needs to, you know, that this is private.

00:34:16.520 We're working on this.

00:34:18.180 How can it be private if you're going to court and demanding that the state compel these single moms to come to court, compel them to testify, compel them to submit or pay a fine? 0.96

00:34:30.080 That's not, that's the opposite of private.

00:34:32.100 He's making a public case out of it.

00:34:33.900 I'm outraged by this, but not surprised.

00:34:36.360 It's just like what I went through a dozen years ago when the cartoon complains.

00:34:40.220 Right.

00:34:40.840 Although you knew the complainant.

00:34:42.400 Yeah, that's right.

00:34:42.960 That wasn't a suit.

00:34:43.580 This is, you know what?

00:34:44.980 Shut it down.

00:34:45.700 Shut down these Human Rights Commissions.

00:34:47.440 You know, I'm so frustrated by this.

00:34:49.760 I have one more question and then I'm going to tell people how they can go to your website to help you directly because you're doing such important work here.

00:34:57.120 I have a question for you.

00:35:00.460 Here in Ontario, we've gone from having really the worst government in Canada to the best.

00:35:06.360 In my view, Doug Ford is not just economically strong.

00:35:10.400 He's very politically incorrect.

00:35:11.360 And he's doing things like he said, if ISIS terrorists come back to Canada, if Trudeau lets them back in, he's going to block them from getting welfare.

00:35:20.360 Okay.

00:35:20.660 I mean, it's a tiny thing.

00:35:21.800 I don't know if he can do it even.

00:35:22.880 But it's a big thing.

00:35:24.140 It's symbolic.

00:35:24.980 It's these battles you have to fight.

00:35:26.640 Well, that's the thing.

00:35:27.360 I mean, someone might say a license plate grabber, an esthetician being forced to wax a fella's gear.

00:35:36.640 That's true.

00:35:37.120 But that's how the insane becomes normalized.

00:35:40.720 Yes.

00:35:41.160 And not just normalized.

00:35:42.160 That's how it becomes legal precedent.

00:35:43.760 And then the police get involved.

00:35:46.340 And then we've just gone insane.

00:35:48.200 You end up like the United Kingdom where you've got the police that are policing speech.

00:35:52.340 There's 900.

00:35:52.800 They're looking at your tweets.

00:35:53.840 There's 900 Facebook cops.

00:35:55.640 Are you being homophobic today?

00:35:57.860 So you've got to fight these ones.

00:35:58.980 Do you think, do you hear anything?

00:36:01.880 Or maybe I can invite you to reach out to Doug Ford's government.

00:36:05.080 Because if anyone has the courage to push back against the shenanigans and to defy political correctness and say, I simply don't care.

00:36:12.840 Like the guy scrapped cap and trade on the global warming side.

00:36:16.340 He scrapped the bailouts for green schemes.

00:36:18.940 He's scrapping things that were considered untouchable.

00:36:23.680 He's just doing it.

00:36:24.660 And he's forcing universities to honor free speech as a condition for public funding, which is the way it should be.

00:36:31.580 And they're whining and crying about how their autonomy is being violated.

00:36:35.780 They never had autonomy in the first place.

00:36:37.540 Because when they're getting their billions and billions, they sign agreements where in order to get the money, you have to do this and this and this and this and this.

00:36:44.920 And you sign on the dotted line.

00:36:46.300 They don't get a blank check to do whatever they want.

00:36:48.860 So the Ford government is adding one more condition for funding and saying you have to uphold free speech on campus.

00:36:54.960 I guess my point is Doug Ford looks like he might be the kind of premier to, I don't know if I would say abolish human rights commissions, but at least rein them in on these extreme political correctness cases.

00:37:08.660 I'm guessing you haven't had a chance to connect with him.

00:37:11.820 But I hope that over the course of time, you'll get to know the minister responsible or meet someone in the premier's office.

00:37:18.160 Because if there's any place where we can roll back this craziness in Canada right now, it's obviously not Trudeau's federal government.

00:37:25.420 It's obviously not the NDP government in B.C. or Alberta.

00:37:29.180 But I think Doug Ford has the courage.

00:37:31.800 And maybe that's something for you to look at in the year ahead.

00:37:35.140 We'll give it some thought.

00:37:36.560 All right.

00:37:36.820 I hope you do.

00:37:37.820 Well, listen, it's great to have you here.

00:37:39.360 I want to mention, I'm going to mention your website in a second for people to chip in, but you are going to be joining us in Calgary.

00:37:47.300 Yes, I'm looking forward to it.

00:37:48.460 On November 10th.

00:37:49.040 Tell us a little bit.

00:37:49.860 I mean, Rebel Live, for our viewers who don't know, it's like a one-day conference, convention.

00:37:54.880 We've got Lindsey Shepard, a free speech battler. 1.00

00:37:57.120 We've got politicians coming.

00:37:59.060 We've got oil sands advocates coming, a small business advocate, and you'll be there.

00:38:03.360 Can you give us a sneak preview of the kind of things you're going to be talking about?

00:38:06.540 Will you be going over some of your cases for our attendees?

00:38:11.020 I'll be talking about those, and the big focus is going to be on parental rights.

00:38:15.520 Okay.

00:38:16.100 Parental rights is right up there with free speech, freedom of religion, private property rights.

00:38:21.020 These are all pillars of the free society.

00:38:24.780 We have a situation in Alberta that you've probably heard about it.

00:38:28.380 The education minister has threatened to close Christian schools, and there's one Jewish school as well.

00:38:34.640 If they do not remove religious references from their school policies.

00:38:39.800 That's incredible.

00:38:41.500 I'm surprised they're going after a Jewish school, because normally they don't touch the Jewish schools and the Muslim schools,

00:38:46.660 because they only go after politically incorrect Christians.

00:38:49.020 Well, there was a letter there.

00:38:50.660 It was Alicia Curbella of the Calgary Herald called it the rainbow reprimand.

00:38:55.120 Yeah.

00:38:55.340 And Daniel Smith on the radio show host also called it the rainbow reprimand.

00:39:01.080 The government had colors there, and they said, well, yellow is for asserting truth, and that's an offense against diversity.

00:39:08.340 And orange is for this, and pink is for that, and green is for that.

00:39:12.660 And they had all these colors, and then they went through the school policies.

00:39:16.200 This is posted on our website.

00:39:17.780 They went through the school policies and highlighted it yellow or orange or brown or pink,

00:39:23.620 depending on what offense against diversity or some other concept.

00:39:29.360 And the mainstream media has tried to kill the story, but it's still getting out.

00:39:35.740 Yeah.

00:39:37.180 I remember when we spoke about this last time, I asked you if you had any word from the United Conservative Party, Jason Kenney's opposition.

00:39:45.720 Wait, we talked about it.

00:39:46.580 Have they weighed in at all?

00:39:48.020 Yes, they have.

00:39:48.940 And what have they said?

00:39:49.800 It was a day or two or three after our interview, and they created an online petition in regards to protecting the freedom of religious schools.

00:40:01.740 Okay, good.

00:40:02.500 Has anyone, an online petition, we've had.

00:40:05.660 And Jason Kenney made a statement in opposite, a public statement.

00:40:10.440 Well, I'm glad to hear it because I'm worried he's going politically correct, not because he himself is politically correct, but because he's so afraid of the media.

00:40:18.020 And what you're saying is that he has stood up on this issue?

00:40:21.400 He has.

00:40:22.940 And the media, the media is, remember, the mainstream media is getting weaker every day, bit by bit by bit.

00:40:30.480 And they know it.

00:40:31.860 And the word is getting out.

00:40:33.420 So, I mean, we, the mainstream media tried to boycott the story, but yet we had this citizens group in Alberta called Parents for Choice in Education, which you're familiar with.

00:40:41.800 And they've got over 10,000 people on their email list.

00:40:45.860 And they put out the news, and I was just lighting up on Twitter and Facebook, the word got out there anyway, in spite of the mainstream media boycott.

00:40:54.480 You know what, the mainstream media is being as discredited as the mainstream politicians, and if they don't realize that soon, they're going to be out of business.

00:41:01.540 John, it's great to see you again.

00:41:02.520 Folks, if you want to support, we haven't done a crowdfund for John in a long time, and we should amend that.

00:41:07.940 But in the meantime, may I ask you to go directly to John's website, which from memory is jccf.ca.

00:41:15.760 Is that right, John?

00:41:16.080 Correct, yeah.

00:41:16.780 That stands for Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms, jccf.ca.

00:41:21.340 Would you agree with me that in this vast country of ours, you can really count on one finger the groups that are fighting the fight in the court of law?

00:41:31.980 And this case of grabber and the case of the guy who wants to be grabbed in all these estheticians, would you not agree with me that while those sound goofy, they are actually the pointy edge of the spear to move us towards political correctness and control by our governments to give the government power over our lives?

00:41:51.460 I believe that John Carpe, probably more than anyone else, is fighting the fight in the court of law.

00:41:58.320 And if you have a few extra dollars, may I encourage you, and I think they get a tax receipt for that.

00:42:03.480 Absolutely, yeah.

00:42:04.360 So go to jccf.ca.

00:42:06.100 What a good egg.

00:42:06.700 If you're in Calgary on November 10th, he will be one of our key speakers at the Rebel Live.

00:42:11.720 There are still some tickets available, although I should say, I do believe we're going to sell out, and the venue does have a maximum capacity, of course.

00:42:19.680 So please, if you haven't got your tickets, go to therebellive.com, because I think it's going to sell out.

00:42:26.260 All right, stay with us.

00:42:27.300 More ahead on the Rebel.

00:42:39.440 Hey, welcome back on my monologue yesterday on the election of Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, and the media party calling him far-right Allen writes,

00:42:46.400 Like the Trump election, or any election of anyone right of Stalin, it means that the world is going to end soon.

00:42:52.700 The apocalypse is upon us, and we won't even live long enough to see global warming end all life as we know it.

00:42:59.780 Look, Bolsonaro is right-wing in style and dramatic in his language, and I should point out that he got almost 50% in the first round of elections,

00:43:09.560 and then this second round, the runoff, there were only two candidates, so of course he got more than 50%, but still.

00:43:15.620 I don't think you can call someone far-right if they are that popular.

00:43:20.420 I don't think.

00:43:21.140 I mean, isn't that statistically?

00:43:23.780 If you're so popular that you have most of the population on the side,

00:43:28.740 I just don't think you could call that far-right, because he obviously got a lot of working-class votes.

00:43:33.440 Brazil is actually a fairly poor country.

00:43:35.220 He did really well in Rio.

00:43:37.500 You saw the stats about his sons.

00:43:39.560 The largest vote totals ever.

00:43:42.080 I'm sorry, these guys are solving a real problem of corruption on the left.

00:43:47.360 I hope I'm right.

00:43:48.660 I hope he's not a Nicolas Maduro, but I don't think he is.

00:43:52.160 Anyone who's friends with America and Israel and talking about freedom and prosperity,

00:43:56.980 it sounds like he's the best thing to happen in Brazil in a long time,

00:43:59.900 and I think the man who stabbed him on the street knew that.

00:44:03.480 I don't think he would stab someone on the street who wasn't going to be an effective conservative leader.

00:44:09.220 Keith writes,

00:44:10.520 Trudeau does not approve of Bolsonaro.

00:44:12.960 He would rather jump in bed with the likes of Macron, Merkel, and the unelected despots at the EU.

00:44:17.400 He needs to put out to grass.

00:44:21.520 It's just weird.

00:44:22.540 Look, I mean, Bolsonaro, when he won the election, had not yet done anything as president.

00:44:27.780 I don't even think he's sworn in yet.

00:44:28.900 So any congratulations would be to the country for having a successful election

00:44:36.300 and to the man who now holds the office of the leader of the fifth largest country in the world,

00:44:42.420 the largest country in the Southern Hemisphere, I guess in Latin America rather, 200 plus million people.

00:44:51.100 Why would you be so grudging?

00:44:52.720 Even if you didn't like the man, why would you not at least be diplomatic in your diplomacy?

00:44:59.160 If you want to grouse and bitch and kvetch in private, fine. 0.99

00:45:02.720 But isn't diplomacy the place to be diplomatic?

00:45:05.900 I don't even get it.

00:45:07.080 I thought these guys were supposed to be pros.

00:45:09.860 Why would you get off on the wrong foot from the very first second?

00:45:16.140 It beats me.

00:45:17.300 Compare that as we did to his love affair for the Castro's. 0.87

00:45:20.720 On my interview with Alessandro Bocci about horrific migrant crimes in Italy, Liza writes,

00:45:28.540 Salvini rocks, but while Italy is a part of the European Union, his hands are tied.

00:45:33.280 The EU is a bad deal if sovereignty means anything to you, and it should.

00:45:36.920 I've got a feeling that Salvini can stand up to the media backlash and threats within government,

00:45:41.700 but what about the legalities of being in the EU?

00:45:44.640 Can he deport or not?

00:45:46.160 Well, listen, I don't have the knowledge.

00:45:50.160 I don't have the deep knowledge on the European Union.

00:45:53.980 I know that in the past, Hungary, for example, has refused to comply with the European Union,

00:45:59.840 and they have fined it millions of dollars, and they said, we don't care.

00:46:03.620 Keep your money and keep the migrants, and we're going to be hungry. 1.00

00:46:07.580 We're not going to bring in a million Syrians and Afghans.

00:46:10.400 We'll let Germany run that experiment. 0.87

00:46:12.260 So, yeah, it's not like Italy's going to be invaded.

00:46:16.540 They'll be economically punished, like Poland and Hungary have been by the bullies in the EU,

00:46:23.300 but it hasn't stopped it, has it?

00:46:25.500 On my interview last Friday with Yasmin Mohamed, Terry writes,

00:46:29.300 you expressed concern about facing a burka-wearing accuser in court.

00:46:32.600 I believe the greater concern and eventual certainty is facing a burka-clad judge in a Canadian court. 1.00

00:46:38.780 Yeah, I mean, that's what we talked about with the, you know, the handmaid's tale.

00:46:47.340 My one skepticism, though, is if you are wearing a burka, 1.00

00:46:51.720 you're probably not let out a lot by your husband-slash-owner-slash-guardian.

00:46:56.420 I mean, we heard that from Yasmin's original interview with us.

00:46:59.180 She really wasn't allowed out of the house.

00:47:00.740 So you're probably not going to go to law school if you're wearing the full ninja, you know.

00:47:06.600 You're probably not going to article at a big law firm, put in the long hours,

00:47:11.240 because you're going to probably be working with men or something.

00:47:15.260 And, you know, you've got to be a lawyer for a number of years to be appointed.

00:47:18.440 So I think that a burka-clad woman is unlikely in the near future, 0.77

00:47:23.620 because, of course, if you look at Saudi Arabia and Iran,

00:47:26.240 there are no burka-clad judges because girls can't do things like that in a Sharia society. 1.00

00:47:31.820 But I take your point.

00:47:33.580 Well, that's our show for today.

00:47:34.840 I should tell you that in addition to launching StopSnooping.ca,

00:47:40.260 my friend David Menzies is on his way to Mexico

00:47:44.080 to report from the front lines of the caravan

00:47:49.140 inexorably making its way to the United States border.

00:47:53.120 He's going with some real questions like,

00:47:55.520 hey, who's organizing this?

00:47:58.060 Who's paying for the buses and the hotels?

00:47:59.700 Who's paying for the food? 0.83

00:48:00.680 Who's arranging it?

00:48:01.500 Who's keeping everyone paid and happy and healthy and moving at an extraordinary clip?

00:48:07.320 That just doesn't happen organically.

00:48:09.420 Who is behind this?

00:48:12.600 If you want to watch all of his reports, you could go to caravanreports.ca.

00:48:20.340 Caravanreports.ca.

00:48:21.300 Well, my friends, that's our show for today.

00:48:23.380 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at the Rebel World Headquarters,

00:48:26.920 to you at home, good night.

00:48:28.740 Keep fighting for freedom.
