Rebel News Podcast - Trudeau’s feminist Utopia is no place for female victims of violent crime (GUEST HOST： Sheila Gunn Reid)

00:00:00.000 I guess it's tough to be a female victim of violent crime in Trudeau's feminist utopia for 1.00

00:00:05.700 female victims. Four liberal blunders in a little over a week. Will the mainstream media 0.97

00:00:11.160 finally start to notice a pattern? It's September 29th, 2018. I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed,

00:00:17.200 and you're watching The Ezra Levant Show.

00:00:24.880 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:00:28.460 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:00:32.520 You come here once a year with a sign, and you feel morally superior.

00:00:35.860 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.

00:00:46.320 This week, the world found out that the murderer of little 8-year-old Tori Stafford,

00:00:51.700 Terry Lynn McClintick, isn't even in prison anymore. Not really.

00:00:55.340 She's in an Aboriginal healing lodge in Saskatchewan, a place that doesn't even have fences.

00:01:01.740 And Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, well, he defends that decision.

00:01:06.040 I'm going to show you a clip from CTV News.

00:01:09.400 Please pay attention to how Goodale describes the crime here,

00:01:13.280 which was procuring a little tiny child for sexual assault. 1.00

00:01:17.220 The kidnapping of an innocent little girl, and then the murder and disposal of her tiny battered body like it was trash. 0.98

00:01:25.300 Just listen to how Goodale describes it here.

00:01:29.080 And are you going to make society safer by developing the circumstances in which that life can be changed for the better,

00:01:38.500 or released cold turkey at the end of the sentence when there's no chance of the preparation?

00:01:42.980 It's not going to be released until 2031, Mr. Goodale.

00:01:45.200 That's a long way away.

00:01:46.380 Why are you getting into this so early?

00:01:47.800 Well, the prison management officials have determined this is the best way to both rectify her bad practices in the past,

00:01:56.960 but also to keep the public safe.

00:02:00.160 Bad practices, hey?

00:02:01.860 What bad practices is Goodale talking about? 0.61

00:02:04.340 The kidnapping, rape and murder of a tiny little girl?

00:02:07.840 Or is he talking about the very recent assault that McClintock pled guilty to,

00:02:13.000 that she committed while she was behind bars for Tory's murder?

00:02:18.360 Those bad practices?

00:02:19.880 Now, in all of this, something else was revealed.

00:02:22.440 Yet another layer of injustice for Stafford's family.

00:02:25.500 I don't know if McClintock is aboriginal or not, and apparently, it doesn't even matter. 0.95

00:02:30.480 Because to get access to these aboriginal healing lodges,

00:02:33.120 instead of the hard prison time these violent offenders deserve,

00:02:37.680 all they have to do is identify as First Nations.

00:02:41.220 There's no proof required of their First Nations status.

00:02:44.840 McClintock has absolutely figured out how to game the system here,

00:02:49.160 and somehow Trudeau found a way to blame the Conservatives

00:02:53.200 for what happened to McClintock on the Liberals' watch here.

00:02:58.480 Terry Lynn McClintock helped lure Tory. 0.52

00:03:02.220 Hit Tory three times in the head with a claw hammer. 0.96

00:03:06.060 She was on the lookout while Tory was raped, 0.98

00:03:09.240 and then helped place Tory's body in a garbage bag.

00:03:12.460 The Prime Minister knows full well that he has the power and authority

00:03:16.140 to change this case in an instant.

00:03:19.040 Why will he not use his power and authority right now

00:03:21.600 to do the right thing for Tory's family and the right thing for society?

00:03:25.920 Here, an honourable Prime Minister.

00:03:27.500 I hope Canadians pay attention to that question and this answer.

00:03:36.240 In 2014, the individual was transferred to a medium-security facility

00:03:42.980 under the previous government.

00:03:45.280 This individual is still in a medium-security facility today.

00:03:50.460 That question needs to be noticed by Canadians,

00:03:56.200 and that behaviour needs to be noticed by Canadians.

00:04:00.280 Well, now, Trudeau's comments there, they're pretty gross, 0.60

00:04:03.580 and they feel a lot like sympathy for the devil.

00:04:06.200 They really shouldn't surprise us.

00:04:07.900 He's so apathetic to these young female victims and their families.

00:04:12.420 You see, after one of Trudeau's Syrian refugees, a man named Ibrahim Ali,

00:04:17.100 was charged with the horrific murder of a 13-year-old Burnaby girl named Marissa Shen,

00:04:22.960 Trudeau was asked about it by McLean's Paul Wells in a sit-down interview.

00:04:27.500 We've got a little bit of time left.

00:04:28.880 I wanted to let McLean's readers have at you because we got a lot of interest,

00:04:34.760 both in all the issues that I've discussed and in a few that we haven't asked about before.

00:04:38.920 And so I'm going to pass along a few questions that came from McLean's readers.

00:04:45.500 One is asking what you have to say about the arrest in British Columbia of Ibrahim Ali,

00:04:50.340 who is a Syrian refugee, following the murder of a teenage girl named Marissa Shen.

00:04:55.200 Obviously, it's devastating news for her family, for her friends.

00:05:00.920 It's a terrible tragedy.

00:05:02.200 Anytime someone is murdered, it's a terrible thing.

00:05:06.580 I trust our justice system.

00:05:08.280 I trust our system to go through its processes,

00:05:13.320 to both apply consequences to this

00:05:16.660 and to make sure that we're thinking about how we continue to keep people safe.

00:05:21.500 So no apology to Marissa's family for allowing her alleged killer to come into the country.

00:05:28.140 Trudeau is defiant.

00:05:29.640 Nothing in policy will change despite Marissa's young life being lost.

00:05:34.300 So that's the responses to the deaths of two little girls being completely flubbed by the liberals this week.

00:05:41.480 They couldn't seem more cold and heartless and disrespectful to the families of these girls if they were trying.

00:05:47.240 Now, this all brings me to the troubling case of Christopher Garnier.

00:05:51.060 He brutally murdered an off-duty police officer named Catherine Campbell in 2015 in Halifax,

00:05:58.420 before he disposed of her broken body in a garbage can under a bridge.

00:06:03.180 Garnier claims he gave himself PTSD when he killed Campbell.

00:06:07.140 And now, because Garnier's father is a veteran, Garnier is receiving treatment,

00:06:12.180 courtesy of Veterans Affairs, for the PTSD he gave himself.

00:06:16.060 Yes, Garnier is receiving treatment for PTSD,

00:06:19.320 while actual veterans who got PTSD in the line of duty are doing without.

00:06:24.180 Let me show you what the liberals had to say when they were pressed on this incredible, disgusting injustice here.

00:06:32.340 Mr. Speaker, we're talking about a decision by the liberal government to pay for the benefits

00:06:37.060 of a convicted killer with money from Veterans Affairs when he's never served a single minute in Canada's military.

00:06:45.220 If a serving member is found guilty of murder and dishonorably discharged,

00:06:49.600 they and their family would lose all their benefits.

00:06:52.460 For the sake of all those who served honorably and continue to fight Veterans Affairs for the benefits they earned,

00:06:59.140 will the Prime Minister commit today to stop paying the benefits of this cop killer?

00:07:05.040 Your Honourable Prime Minister.

00:07:10.060 Mr. Speaker, we see once again that there is nothing the Conservatives won't stoop to to play politics with tragedies.

00:07:17.460 I will not answer that question.

00:07:19.120 Trudeau refused to answer because I guess Catherine's family doesn't deserve answers.

00:07:25.180 Now, the good news is the liberals, because of intense public pressure,

00:07:28.900 have agreed to stop the PTSD payments to Veterans' families.

00:07:33.000 But we don't know if that's being retroactively applied to Garnier.

00:07:37.580 And lastly, here's something that has been completely unreported in the mainstream media,

00:07:44.060 and it was the treatment of a 9-11 widow at the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights

00:07:50.640 by a Liberal MP named Arif Virani.

00:07:54.420 Just watch this lady here. 1.00

00:07:56.280 It is important not to conflate, either in this committee or in front of these witnesses,

00:08:00.500 the difference between terrorism that occurred in Afghanistan

00:08:03.300 and torture that this government was complicit with in Guantanamo.

00:08:08.460 And after two consecutive defeats in the Supreme Court of Canada on this very issue,

00:08:14.080 when Mr. Cooper's party ostensibly believes in reducing court backlog and courtroom delay,

00:08:19.660 it really begs the logical question as to why one would return to the courts,

00:08:23.580 which we all seem to agree are clogged,

00:08:25.600 with yet another likely failed charter claim.

00:08:28.880 So apropos of that, Ms. Baznicki, if we can agree that addressing court backlog

00:08:34.300 is an important imperative of this bill,

00:08:37.040 is settlement of cases a way of reducing court backlog?

00:08:41.160 I'd like to respond with that the charter, as it stands, does not define victims' rights.

00:08:48.280 I worked on the Victims' Bill of Rights,

00:08:50.340 and I'm only asking that my rights are regarded as Mr. Carter's rights are regarded.

00:08:59.520 I am not here to take away from Mr. Khadar's rights.

00:09:02.860 I'm only suggesting that as a victim, I should have rights too.

00:09:07.160 Mr. Khadar was a self-confessed terrorist,

00:09:11.640 not in an act in Afghanistan,

00:09:13.780 well, perhaps the venue was Afghanistan,

00:09:16.420 but was convicted and self-confessed in the U.S.

00:09:20.180 I am a Canadian citizen.

00:09:22.280 He committed his crime,

00:09:24.500 not alleged, but convicted, outside our country.

00:09:27.780 I'm only asking, as a Canadian citizen, as he is,

00:09:32.160 that I have rights too.

00:09:33.900 And it would appear that there is no balance in this

00:09:36.640 as it stands right now.

00:09:38.920 He belonged to the very organization

00:09:41.000 that was complicit in the murder of my husband, Al-Qaeda.

00:09:44.860 You can only imagine how I feel

00:09:47.440 when I see my government give him $10.5 million

00:09:52.580 for a violation of rights,

00:09:54.920 and I am at the same time begging my country

00:09:59.000 to afford me rights as a victim and a Canadian citizen

00:10:02.560 who was married to a Canadian citizen that lived in Canada.

00:10:07.720 Maureen Baznicki, that really nice lady asking the questions,

00:10:11.500 lost her husband on 9-11.

00:10:13.020 She's a victim of Islamic terrorism. 0.89

00:10:15.820 Islamic terrorism like that committed by Omar Khadr. 0.56

00:10:19.220 As a Canadian, Mrs. Baznicki paid for the payout 0.98

00:10:22.980 to that Islamic terrorist.

00:10:25.440 But just watch the response of Liberal MP Arif Varani here.

00:10:29.740 So I'll pass that over to Ron.

00:10:30.880 I'll just make sure that the record reflects

00:10:32.400 that Mr. Khadr is also a Canadian citizen,

00:10:34.420 Ms. Baznicki.

00:10:34.960 But your point is...

00:10:35.540 Yes, I pointed it out.

00:10:36.940 I'd like to remind you that I'm a Canadian citizen.

00:10:41.000 Thank you.

00:10:41.260 Thank you.

00:10:42.220 Instead of being shown the respect she deserves

00:10:44.740 for taking the time out of her life to come to committee

00:10:47.380 to advocate for other victims like herself,

00:10:50.400 Liberal MP Arif Varani scolded her.

00:10:53.400 You see, Mr. Khadr is a Canadian too, Varani said.

00:10:56.060 Same as Baznicki's husband.

00:10:57.820 Same as you and I.

00:10:59.120 Except we didn't plead guilty to war crimes 0.61

00:11:01.520 and murdering a U.S. Army medic in cold blood

00:11:03.980 and then blinding a Green Beret.

00:11:05.800 But other than that, Khadr's just like us. 0.88

00:11:08.480 Good God, these Liberals and their sympathy for the devil.

00:11:12.200 Varani needs to apologize.

00:11:14.580 But he won't.

00:11:16.120 And I doubt he realizes there's anything wrong with what he said.

00:11:20.220 Liberals keep talking about what a bunch of feminists they are. 1.00

00:11:23.080 They literally cannot shut up about it.

00:11:26.100 They actually just produced this very wooden and weird video

00:11:29.720 about Gender Equity Week.

00:11:32.200 I won't show you the whole thing.

00:11:34.560 It's embarrassing.

00:11:35.800 But here's a clip.

00:11:37.040 A lot of those sectors have been male-dominated for a long time.

00:11:40.780 And we need to make it easier for more people to enter these fields

00:11:44.140 so we can fill these jobs, grow our economy,

00:11:47.600 and strengthen the middle class.

00:11:49.000 That's why gender equality is an issue for everyone. 1.00

00:11:52.720 Back in reality, four female victims of violent crime 0.57

00:11:56.120 are making headlines in a little over the last week.

00:11:59.620 Four female victims of violent crime mistreated

00:12:02.320 and their families discounted by the Liberals

00:12:05.360 for their Liberal agenda.

00:12:07.560 There's a pattern here. 0.98

00:12:08.660 A devastating, disgusting, anti-women pattern. 0.92

00:12:12.400 But the mainstream media is just too sycophantic 0.96

00:12:15.520 to notice any of it.

00:12:17.100 And really, I guess, the only gender equity at play here 0.87

00:12:21.300 is that Omar Khadar's male victims

00:12:23.560 are being treated just as poorly

00:12:25.900 as the female victims of McClintick and Christopher Garnier.

00:12:30.820 Up next, after the break,

00:12:32.640 I have an interview with an incredible guest

00:12:34.880 that I recorded earlier this week.

00:12:37.660 Stay with us.

00:12:38.480 Thanks for joining me.

00:12:58.060 I'm going to read an excerpt

00:13:00.000 from an incredible opinion piece

00:13:03.180 in the Toronto Sun.

00:13:04.220 If you read just one article this year,

00:13:07.780 make it this one.

00:13:09.960 It starts,

00:13:11.100 While lamenting the potential plight of killer whales,

00:13:14.380 those opposing pipelines

00:13:15.600 could collect hand-me-down rubber boots.

00:13:18.760 That's one of the things

00:13:20.060 kind-hearted neighbours gave my family

00:13:22.160 when governments and circumstances

00:13:24.480 conspired to send our lives spiralling.

00:13:27.600 Today, that spiral is just starting its descent

00:13:30.200 for more than 8,000 families

00:13:32.120 who lost their jobs.

00:13:34.240 With the stroke of a pen,

00:13:35.400 a federal court of appeals judge,

00:13:37.600 Eleanor Dawson,

00:13:38.720 slammed the brakes

00:13:39.780 on the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion.

00:13:42.920 It's a project that had won 17 times

00:13:46.380 in previous court challenges

00:13:48.140 and got the green light

00:13:49.780 from successive federal governments

00:13:51.620 for five years.

00:13:54.540 Dawson cited the plight of killer whales

00:13:56.380 57 times

00:13:58.300 and lack of consultation

00:13:59.960 with First Nations peoples.

00:14:01.820 What does this mean

00:14:03.560 for the 8,000 jobless?

00:14:06.180 I can tell you

00:14:07.140 because I grew up in it.

00:14:09.780 Now, my guest tonight,

00:14:11.820 I'm so excited about this,

00:14:13.220 is the author of this article.

00:14:15.380 Someone that I think

00:14:16.480 has been an incredible journalist.

00:14:19.120 The kind of journalist

00:14:19.780 I aspire to be.

00:14:21.540 And now she's not just

00:14:22.660 an incredible advocate

00:14:23.620 for the Canadian oil patch,

00:14:25.280 but for all Canadian taxpayers.

00:14:27.600 She's fighting her fight 0.85

00:14:29.000 in the belly of the beast.

00:14:31.820 Joining me now

00:14:32.660 is the BC Director

00:14:34.300 of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation,

00:14:36.680 Chris Sims.

00:14:37.660 I'm such a super fan.

00:14:38.880 Chris, thanks for joining me.

00:14:40.100 Wherever you are right now,

00:14:41.220 it's beautiful.

00:14:42.000 Where are you?

00:14:43.180 I'm actually standing

00:14:44.900 on the site

00:14:46.040 of the existing Kinder Morgan

00:14:47.800 or now known as

00:14:49.080 the Trans Mountain Pipeline

00:14:50.400 here in the Fraser Valley.

00:14:52.480 I'm actually physically standing

00:14:54.400 in a big patch of blackberries.

00:14:56.460 So if you see a bear,

00:14:57.880 could you just let me know

00:14:59.100 and make sure you YouTube it?

00:15:00.500 Well, that doesn't look

00:15:02.080 like the hellscape

00:15:03.020 that I've been led to believe.

00:15:06.600 Now, I read an article

00:15:08.020 or an excerpt

00:15:08.940 from your article off the top.

00:15:10.460 And when I first read it,

00:15:11.740 it made me sad

00:15:13.300 because like so many thousands

00:15:16.580 of Canadians,

00:15:17.640 I lived a very similar

00:15:19.400 childhood experience as you.

00:15:21.700 I grew up in the devastation

00:15:23.540 of the NEP.

00:15:25.280 But after I got over my sadness,

00:15:27.420 although the sadness

00:15:28.120 sort of still lingers,

00:15:29.080 I have a hard time getting

00:15:30.000 through your whole article

00:15:31.000 to be honest with you.

00:15:32.540 I'm also so glad

00:15:34.040 and grateful

00:15:34.960 that someone who has

00:15:36.560 your platform

00:15:37.420 is trying to humanize

00:15:39.620 every single one

00:15:40.840 of those 8,000 job losses

00:15:42.820 because they're families.

00:15:44.240 They're families like yours

00:15:45.240 and families like mine

00:15:47.520 who sort of have

00:15:49.320 this uncertain future

00:15:50.620 while the federal government

00:15:53.120 dithers on pipelines.

00:15:54.580 We don't even know

00:15:55.300 what they're going to do next.

00:15:57.040 No, we don't.

00:15:58.500 And they ragged the puck 0.78

00:15:59.880 for more than a year

00:16:01.340 after giving this

00:16:02.720 private corporation

00:16:04.220 five years of green lights

00:16:06.180 and victory after victory.

00:16:07.780 Yes, yes, yes.

00:16:08.780 And then they just

00:16:09.660 ruined it so much

00:16:11.240 that the company

00:16:11.920 just finally threw up its hands

00:16:13.260 and walked away.

00:16:14.540 And now taxpayers

00:16:15.340 own this pipeline.

00:16:17.080 Taxpayers now own

00:16:18.260 the Trans Mountain Pipeline.

00:16:19.500 And we're on the hook now

00:16:21.000 for actually getting it

00:16:22.060 expanded and twinned.

00:16:23.700 And if anybody

00:16:24.700 actually watching this

00:16:25.940 doesn't know yet,

00:16:27.020 it runs from Edmonton

00:16:28.440 all the way through

00:16:29.420 the Rockies,

00:16:30.220 through B.C.,

00:16:30.960 right where I'm standing

00:16:31.980 here in the Fraser Valley,

00:16:33.220 all the way out to Burnaby

00:16:34.500 to its terminal,

00:16:35.780 to its port.

00:16:36.660 And that's where the oil

00:16:38.160 is shipped out for export.

00:16:40.480 And because the federal government

00:16:42.020 has done such a terrible job

00:16:43.760 of this,

00:16:44.320 and now we're stuck

00:16:45.440 owning the thing,

00:16:46.780 and now we're stuck

00:16:47.880 with this federal court

00:16:49.060 judge's decision,

00:16:50.160 8,000 families

00:16:52.400 just lost their jobs.

00:16:54.400 And I thought

00:16:55.120 it was really important

00:16:56.180 to put a face

00:16:57.360 to those numbers

00:16:58.040 and to put a real story

00:17:00.360 behind numbers like those.

00:17:02.400 And I know you had

00:17:03.560 a similar experience.

00:17:04.800 I know a lot of your viewers

00:17:05.940 right now watching this

00:17:07.040 have had a very similar experience.

00:17:08.960 They might be living it right now.

00:17:11.020 And to them right now,

00:17:12.040 I want to tell them

00:17:12.840 that they're not alone,

00:17:14.520 that people care

00:17:15.580 about what is happening

00:17:16.580 to them and to their families.

00:17:17.720 They may not see

00:17:19.080 their stories told

00:17:20.240 in literary award circles

00:17:22.420 and on some

00:17:23.500 mainstream media channels,

00:17:24.960 but people do give a damn. 0.57

00:17:27.380 And so I really wanted

00:17:28.420 to thank the

00:17:29.160 Canadian Taxpayers Federation

00:17:30.520 and Sun Media

00:17:31.580 for both encouraging me

00:17:33.100 to write this.

00:17:33.820 All of my colleagues

00:17:34.540 at the CTF said,

00:17:35.500 yeah, put that story

00:17:37.480 into words.

00:17:38.680 And so that's why

00:17:39.620 I wrote it.

00:17:40.480 I usually try not

00:17:41.340 to make myself a story,

00:17:42.600 but I was getting sick

00:17:43.540 and tired, frankly,

00:17:44.400 of those families

00:17:46.000 who were counting

00:17:46.820 on that pipeline work,

00:17:48.540 this pipeline work,

00:17:49.840 being ignored

00:17:50.520 and not heard.

00:17:51.560 And so that's why

00:17:52.300 I wrote it.

00:17:53.520 You know,

00:17:54.180 something in your article

00:17:55.680 really struck a chord

00:17:56.880 with me,

00:17:57.360 and it was when you were

00:17:58.260 talking about your mom.

00:18:00.300 Her breaking point 0.99

00:18:01.440 was using the no-name soap.

00:18:04.560 And, you know,

00:18:06.460 I've spoken to other women

00:18:08.340 that are very close to me,

00:18:09.440 and they have a similar experience.

00:18:11.060 It's so funny.

00:18:12.300 The one woman that I know

00:18:13.920 and love very much,

00:18:15.580 for her,

00:18:16.140 it's the sound

00:18:17.000 of a carpet sweeper

00:18:18.360 because for a time,

00:18:20.160 she wasn't able 0.96

00:18:21.020 to have power in her house,

00:18:22.360 and she just wanted

00:18:23.340 to vacuum

00:18:24.020 like every other woman. 0.98

00:18:25.720 And the sound

00:18:26.860 and the look

00:18:28.400 of a carpet sweeper

00:18:29.440 brings it back to her.

00:18:31.300 And for another woman

00:18:32.040 that I know,

00:18:32.980 it is the sound

00:18:33.960 of change jingling

00:18:35.680 because when she put

00:18:37.720 her money

00:18:38.360 into the collection plate

00:18:39.840 at church,

00:18:40.580 everybody in the pew

00:18:42.380 would know

00:18:42.900 that she was poor

00:18:43.980 because of the jingling

00:18:45.400 of the change.

00:18:46.860 And, you know,

00:18:47.840 that really struck

00:18:48.340 a chord with me

00:18:48.960 because it's not

00:18:49.600 just about a job.

00:18:50.760 It's about dignity

00:18:52.800 for these families

00:18:53.800 who have never

00:18:54.500 taken anything.

00:18:56.780 Yes, that's exactly right.

00:18:58.240 And so for my family,

00:19:00.020 my sisters were born

00:19:01.980 in the early 80s.

00:19:03.040 They were triplets.

00:19:03.780 I was born first.

00:19:06.020 Mom and dad tried

00:19:06.760 for a boy

00:19:07.320 and we wound up

00:19:07.960 with four girls.

00:19:09.960 And so my parents

00:19:11.340 wound up with four kids

00:19:12.420 under the age of four,

00:19:13.340 early 80s,

00:19:14.120 and just at that exact time

00:19:15.620 is when Pierre Elliott Trudeau,

00:19:17.880 the prime minister

00:19:18.520 at the time,

00:19:19.240 nuked the oil patch.

00:19:21.140 And so suddenly my dad,

00:19:23.060 who worked for Schlumberger

00:19:24.360 at the time,

00:19:25.360 all around that era,

00:19:26.520 had no job

00:19:27.260 to go back to.

00:19:28.220 He had come back here

00:19:29.140 home to BC

00:19:29.820 for when my sisters

00:19:30.680 were born,

00:19:31.220 but then when he turned around

00:19:32.700 to pick up that big paycheck again

00:19:34.500 to go back to the oil patch

00:19:36.020 and really earn that money,

00:19:37.820 it wasn't there.

00:19:39.440 And so the only thing

00:19:40.580 that got us through

00:19:41.420 was my mom

00:19:42.480 working graveyard shifts

00:19:43.920 at the local hospital

00:19:45.200 as an emergency room nurse.

00:19:47.300 A lot of my early childhood memories

00:19:49.140 are of her sleeping on the couch

00:19:50.460 because she'd been working all night

00:19:52.320 while we were in bed.

00:19:54.000 And yeah,

00:19:54.420 it was the no-name soap.

00:19:56.320 She just had it.

00:19:57.880 And I can still remember

00:19:59.460 what it smelled like

00:20:00.380 because she brought it home

00:20:01.440 in these big bags,

00:20:02.600 these big plastic bags,

00:20:04.000 and all 12 bars

00:20:05.100 were stuck together

00:20:05.980 and you had to break them apart.

00:20:07.700 And she just lost it

00:20:09.200 one day in the kitchen

00:20:10.100 because it stank.

00:20:11.640 It smelled like burnt metal.

00:20:13.240 It didn't smell like flowers

00:20:14.480 or roses or vanilla

00:20:15.460 or something pretty.

00:20:16.840 And it's things like that

00:20:18.200 that really stay with you

00:20:19.360 because like you said,

00:20:20.780 it connects back to dignity,

00:20:23.160 to having pride,

00:20:24.580 to having money

00:20:25.420 to be able to cover

00:20:26.260 the most basic things in life

00:20:28.740 that so many of us

00:20:30.160 can sometimes get away from

00:20:31.460 and we can take for granted.

00:20:33.560 And for me as a little kid,

00:20:35.180 the reason why I put that

00:20:36.240 in the article,

00:20:37.460 I remember the sound

00:20:38.920 of the box

00:20:39.960 thumping onto our porch

00:20:41.640 up in the woods

00:20:42.900 where we lived.

00:20:43.680 And I went running outside

00:20:44.980 as a little kid

00:20:45.760 and there's this big

00:20:46.840 cardboard box there

00:20:47.920 and it was full of

00:20:48.920 like donated stuff.

00:20:50.280 There was like an old set

00:20:51.220 of roller skates

00:20:52.060 that you needed to strap

00:20:52.960 to your shoes

00:20:53.620 and there was a doll

00:20:55.180 in there

00:20:55.720 and I remember

00:20:56.640 there were a pair

00:20:57.600 of kind of tinkish,

00:20:59.140 grayish used gumboots.

00:21:01.120 And I was a little kid

00:21:02.060 so I'm like,

00:21:02.760 hey, free stuff.

00:21:04.060 Yay.

00:21:04.580 I stuck them on my feet

00:21:05.840 and I was so happy

00:21:06.700 they fit.

00:21:07.600 But I remember

00:21:08.300 the look on my mom's face

00:21:09.740 and I realize that now

00:21:11.760 as a wife and mother

00:21:13.180 how hard that must have been.

00:21:15.820 And so I really wanted

00:21:16.820 to reach out

00:21:17.360 to those families,

00:21:18.420 those oil sands families,

00:21:19.800 those oil patch families,

00:21:21.020 the families who are

00:21:21.740 trucking right now

00:21:22.820 who in some cases

00:21:24.440 have bought new trucks,

00:21:26.560 pickups to be able

00:21:27.340 to do this job.

00:21:28.780 They've put down

00:21:29.480 lease money already

00:21:30.860 between here and Edmonton

00:21:32.940 to be able to do this job

00:21:34.220 and it just evaporated

00:21:35.740 out from under them.

00:21:37.140 And I wanted them

00:21:37.740 to know that they're

00:21:38.340 not alone

00:21:38.880 and that we've gone

00:21:40.100 through this before

00:21:40.920 and we need to fight

00:21:42.120 really hard

00:21:42.780 but we will get through it.

00:21:44.820 And back during the NEP,

00:21:46.820 I got to stress,

00:21:47.820 my family did better

00:21:48.820 than a lot of people.

00:21:50.320 I saw a lot of people,

00:21:51.480 their trucks

00:21:52.100 were repossessed,

00:21:53.080 their boats taken away,

00:21:54.320 they lost their homes.

00:21:55.780 They literally lost

00:21:56.460 their homes,

00:21:56.880 they were sleeping

00:21:57.200 in their cars.

00:21:58.180 Some of them got divorced.

00:21:59.600 People within my family

00:22:00.760 lost their marriages

00:22:01.740 and the unspeakable

00:22:03.320 also happened.

00:22:04.660 Back then,

00:22:05.200 nobody ever talked about it

00:22:06.520 but people took

00:22:07.320 their own lives

00:22:08.100 and I saw that

00:22:09.860 there's a 30% increase

00:22:11.520 in Fort Mac

00:22:13.020 in people taking

00:22:13.860 their own lives

00:22:14.620 in the year 2015

00:22:16.280 which is just

00:22:17.600 because of the bust.

00:22:19.020 It's just because

00:22:19.620 of that cycle.

00:22:20.560 It's not because

00:22:21.140 of this news.

00:22:22.300 And so I especially

00:22:23.020 want to speak

00:22:23.560 to those people

00:22:24.220 who are there.

00:22:26.520 Just pull back.

00:22:27.840 Just pull back.

00:22:28.880 People love you.

00:22:29.840 People care about you.

00:22:31.160 People are listening.

00:22:32.360 Just hang in there.

00:22:33.660 It will get better.

00:22:35.400 You know,

00:22:35.900 you just reminded me

00:22:36.920 of the days

00:22:38.300 of jingle mail

00:22:39.140 with people.

00:22:42.720 For myself too.

00:22:44.260 Neighbors

00:22:44.680 who didn't fare

00:22:45.740 as well as we did.

00:22:46.960 People who couldn't

00:22:47.740 grow their own food

00:22:48.860 the way we did

00:22:49.960 or kill their own food. 0.95

00:22:51.800 They were mailing 0.52

00:22:52.860 their keys

00:22:53.740 back to the bank.

00:22:55.020 It happened so frequently.

00:22:56.740 It became a phenomenon

00:22:57.800 called jingle mail

00:22:59.660 and I don't think

00:23:00.660 the elites

00:23:02.380 who are sort of

00:23:03.340 kicking the ball

00:23:04.140 down the road

00:23:04.760 with this pipeline

00:23:05.380 truly understand

00:23:06.820 what it's like

00:23:07.860 to live with

00:23:09.160 that sort of

00:23:09.840 what's the right word?

00:23:11.540 Survivor's guilt.

00:23:12.340 When your family

00:23:13.300 has nothing

00:23:14.080 but you're still

00:23:14.940 doing better

00:23:15.460 than your neighbor

00:23:16.120 and you feel

00:23:16.940 bad about that

00:23:18.560 because you couldn't

00:23:19.340 help them more

00:23:19.960 than you already are.

00:23:22.700 I wanted to ask you

00:23:24.160 I know

00:23:25.400 at least it's

00:23:27.200 correct me

00:23:27.980 if I'm wrong

00:23:28.700 but you didn't

00:23:30.680 really intend

00:23:31.340 to change

00:23:32.140 hearts and minds

00:23:33.380 with this article.

00:23:35.880 I don't think

00:23:36.680 it was motivated

00:23:37.920 to sort of

00:23:41.000 change the minds

00:23:41.880 of those Laurentian elites

00:23:43.360 who will sort of

00:23:45.100 spit out words

00:23:46.560 like those Albertans

00:23:48.280 with their jacked up

00:23:49.260 trucks

00:23:49.720 and their skidoos

00:23:50.940 and their toys

00:23:51.640 while they reach

00:23:52.480 into a handbag

00:23:53.820 worth more

00:23:54.600 than my ATV.

00:23:56.040 I don't think

00:23:56.780 your article

00:23:57.280 was designed

00:23:58.140 to make

00:23:59.940 those people

00:24:00.600 feel anything

00:24:01.560 about the oil patch.

00:24:03.840 I just don't think

00:24:04.680 they care.

00:24:08.000 A lot of them

00:24:08.920 don't

00:24:09.340 unfortunately.

00:24:10.800 A lot of them

00:24:11.280 don't

00:24:11.680 but I'm always

00:24:13.240 you can have to

00:24:14.060 laugh or cry

00:24:14.760 right

00:24:15.100 and I'm always

00:24:15.780 looking for the

00:24:16.380 silver lining

00:24:16.960 and even in

00:24:18.340 that federal court

00:24:19.480 judgment

00:24:19.960 there was a

00:24:20.860 tiny little window

00:24:21.880 where she said

00:24:23.360 if you do

00:24:24.180 efficient

00:24:25.080 consultation

00:24:26.520 and another

00:24:27.900 review of this

00:24:28.760 judges don't

00:24:29.400 usually use

00:24:30.000 the word

00:24:30.240 efficient

00:24:30.620 and by that

00:24:31.600 she meant

00:24:31.900 a tight

00:24:32.240 timeline.

00:24:34.040 I tried to

00:24:34.700 find some

00:24:35.240 little crack

00:24:35.740 of hope

00:24:36.080 in there

00:24:36.460 and I wrote

00:24:37.560 it number

00:24:37.940 one to put

00:24:38.520 up a flag

00:24:39.100 and to tell

00:24:39.920 people who

00:24:40.500 are in that

00:24:40.980 situation

00:24:41.500 they're not

00:24:42.120 alone

00:24:42.440 we've done

00:24:43.180 this before

00:24:43.780 we'll have

00:24:44.500 to do it

00:24:44.860 again

00:24:45.220 keep fighting

00:24:46.360 it will get

00:24:47.160 better

00:24:47.460 but number

00:24:48.180 two

00:24:48.580 I wanted

00:24:49.180 to reach

00:24:49.800 those folks

00:24:50.540 who were

00:24:50.880 kind of

00:24:51.260 on the

00:24:51.540 fence

00:24:51.960 in war rooms

00:24:54.200 people would

00:24:54.700 call them

00:24:55.060 the swing

00:24:55.520 voter

00:24:55.800 I wanted

00:24:56.800 to reach

00:24:57.220 out to

00:24:57.500 those folks

00:24:58.160 who vote

00:24:59.360 for whoever

00:24:59.800 they want

00:25:00.280 to

00:25:00.460 but who

00:25:00.860 maybe

00:25:01.140 have an

00:25:01.860 uncle

00:25:02.180 who worked

00:25:02.740 in manufacturing

00:25:03.520 right

00:25:04.360 in Ontario

00:25:05.000 who knew

00:25:06.820 somebody

00:25:07.320 who helped

00:25:07.820 build a

00:25:08.200 highway

00:25:08.500 I'm looking

00:25:09.440 for those

00:25:10.000 people who

00:25:10.700 are in that

00:25:11.280 kind of limbo

00:25:12.120 they're in

00:25:12.520 that grey

00:25:13.060 area

00:25:13.460 where they're

00:25:14.220 maybe one

00:25:14.800 generation

00:25:15.400 removed

00:25:15.920 from working

00:25:16.600 class

00:25:17.120 blue-collar

00:25:17.640 families

00:25:18.140 like we have

00:25:18.740 here

00:25:19.040 and really

00:25:19.900 tap them

00:25:20.420 on the

00:25:20.700 shoulder

00:25:20.980 and remind

00:25:21.680 them

00:25:22.260 that while

00:25:23.040 they may

00:25:23.480 be a lawyer

00:25:24.060 or an

00:25:24.540 accountant

00:25:24.920 or something

00:25:25.700 really special

00:25:26.440 like that

00:25:26.900 now

00:25:27.180 who might

00:25:27.880 have a

00:25:28.360 lever of

00:25:28.780 power

00:25:29.080 to pull

00:25:29.580 to pull

00:25:30.480 it

00:25:30.720 and to

00:25:31.740 write to

00:25:32.300 their member

00:25:32.720 of parliament

00:25:33.300 to write

00:25:34.300 to the

00:25:34.640 prime minister

00:25:35.160 to call

00:25:36.000 in to

00:25:36.320 talk radio

00:25:36.960 shows

00:25:37.420 including

00:25:38.100 places like

00:25:38.940 the CBC

00:25:39.560 I mean

00:25:40.160 it

00:25:40.460 unless we

00:25:41.460 stand up

00:25:41.940 and holler 1.00

00:25:42.440 we won't

00:25:43.340 be heard

00:25:43.960 and so

00:25:44.700 that's who

00:25:45.200 I'm really

00:25:45.660 trying to

00:25:46.600 appeal to

00:25:47.200 there

00:25:47.500 I'm trying

00:25:48.300 to reach

00:25:48.700 out to

00:25:49.020 those folks

00:25:49.680 who have

00:25:50.340 probably

00:25:50.760 experienced

00:25:51.560 unemployment

00:25:52.040 in their

00:25:52.560 own lives

00:25:53.360 it doesn't

00:25:54.140 just hit

00:25:54.500 the resource

00:25:54.940 sector

00:25:55.360 and I'm

00:25:55.960 trying to

00:25:56.460 remind them

00:25:57.200 of what

00:25:58.100 it happens

00:25:58.640 when you

00:25:58.940 have a

00:25:59.320 mass

00:25:59.880 unemployment

00:26:00.480 hit a

00:26:01.600 specialized

00:26:01.960 sector

00:26:02.500 like the

00:26:03.300 resource

00:26:03.600 sector

00:26:04.020 like oil

00:26:04.960 and gas

00:26:05.540 and I

00:26:06.080 wanted to

00:26:06.540 really put

00:26:07.000 a human

00:26:07.340 face to it

00:26:08.100 because it's

00:26:08.740 super easy

00:26:09.360 to love

00:26:10.440 a killer

00:26:10.860 whale

00:26:11.140 it really

00:26:11.600 is

00:26:12.000 I grew up

00:26:12.500 here and

00:26:12.940 I grew up

00:26:13.300 on Vancouver

00:26:13.880 Island

00:26:14.260 I absolutely

00:26:15.240 love our

00:26:16.840 natural world

00:26:17.660 but those

00:26:18.280 are theoretical

00:26:18.820 issues

00:26:19.400 right

00:26:19.820 that can be

00:26:20.320 dealt with

00:26:20.700 usually through

00:26:21.220 math or

00:26:21.740 conservation

00:26:22.120 or being

00:26:23.000 careful of

00:26:23.500 where you're

00:26:23.760 putting your

00:26:24.100 shipping lanes

00:26:24.740 I mean

00:26:25.100 humans can

00:26:25.860 figure this

00:26:26.300 stuff out

00:26:26.820 but I really

00:26:27.760 wanted to make

00:26:28.440 it crystal clear

00:26:29.180 to them

00:26:29.560 that judgments

00:26:30.740 like this

00:26:31.520 and foot dragging 0.94

00:26:32.520 like this

00:26:33.180 has an immediate

00:26:34.100 impact

00:26:34.680 and that immediate

00:26:35.540 impact

00:26:36.100 is little kids

00:26:37.420 maybe not getting

00:26:38.540 a Christmas this

00:26:39.260 year

00:26:39.440 it's of parents

00:26:41.300 getting into

00:26:41.760 volcanic arguments

00:26:43.060 it's of marriages

00:26:44.540 breaking down

00:26:45.300 it's of what I

00:26:46.640 talked about as

00:26:47.300 being unspeakable

00:26:48.140 that is an

00:26:48.880 immediate consequence

00:26:50.180 and reality of

00:26:51.260 judgments like

00:26:51.960 these

00:26:52.240 and so that is

00:26:53.200 where I really

00:26:53.760 wanted to tap

00:26:54.500 them on the

00:26:54.920 shoulder

00:26:55.240 and to remind

00:26:56.560 them

00:26:56.900 I also wanted

00:26:57.880 to point out

00:26:58.600 and I gotta be

00:26:59.240 real clear here

00:27:00.020 the judgments

00:27:01.180 also said that

00:27:02.200 they needed to

00:27:02.820 do meaningful

00:27:03.440 consultation with

00:27:04.480 some First

00:27:05.000 Nations peoples

00:27:05.680 and this can't

00:27:06.720 be stressed

00:27:07.160 enough

00:27:07.600 more than 40

00:27:09.200 First Nations

00:27:10.060 have signed

00:27:10.820 on

00:27:11.180 signed on

00:27:12.040 in support

00:27:12.840 of this

00:27:13.200 Trans Mountain

00:27:13.680 pipeline

00:27:14.140 including where

00:27:15.180 I'm standing

00:27:15.680 right now

00:27:16.320 here in the

00:27:17.220 Fraser Valley

00:27:17.780 and in my

00:27:19.420 article

00:27:19.820 I said

00:27:20.900 that some

00:27:21.800 of our

00:27:22.100 neighbors

00:27:22.420 brought us

00:27:23.000 their food

00:27:23.560 salmon

00:27:23.980 at that time

00:27:25.380 those were

00:27:26.460 the First

00:27:26.840 Nations peoples

00:27:27.620 of the area

00:27:28.640 that's why

00:27:29.320 I called it

00:27:29.740 food salmon

00:27:30.320 they cared

00:27:32.160 they gave

00:27:32.980 a damn

00:27:33.400 because not 0.98

00:27:34.340 only were they

00:27:34.940 compassionate

00:27:35.460 human beings

00:27:36.300 they worked

00:27:37.200 in the oil

00:27:37.980 patch too

00:27:38.760 and just like

00:27:40.060 today

00:27:40.480 they're depending

00:27:41.520 on these

00:27:42.080 jobs for this

00:27:42.860 pipeline expansion

00:27:43.840 too

00:27:44.260 and I want

00:27:45.220 their voices

00:27:45.760 to be heard

00:27:46.400 as well

00:27:46.860 and I don't

00:27:47.520 want those 0.93

00:27:48.340 folks who are

00:27:49.060 in power

00:27:49.600 to forget

00:27:50.540 that

00:27:50.940 now

00:27:52.160 I don't know

00:27:53.700 maybe you

00:27:54.120 share my

00:27:54.700 theory

00:27:55.260 but I feel

00:27:56.820 like there's

00:27:57.220 a level of

00:27:57.880 classism

00:27:58.820 in all of

00:28:00.060 this

00:28:00.500 that you

00:28:03.100 know

00:28:03.260 and these

00:28:03.800 are my

00:28:04.140 words

00:28:04.440 not yours

00:28:04.980 but elite

00:28:05.680 people

00:28:06.100 and over

00:28:06.880 educated 1.00

00:28:07.440 useless 1.00

00:28:07.920 people 0.99

00:28:08.480 I think

00:28:08.960 they have

00:28:09.580 a level

00:28:11.020 of resentment

00:28:11.940 that the

00:28:14.260 resource sector

00:28:15.240 is really

00:28:15.560 the great

00:28:15.980 equalizer

00:28:17.100 in all

00:28:17.680 of this

00:28:18.080 where someone

00:28:18.900 who works

00:28:19.980 hard

00:28:20.760 with their

00:28:21.500 back in

00:28:22.040 their hands

00:28:22.700 but has a

00:28:23.720 high school

00:28:24.140 education

00:28:24.760 can earn

00:28:25.800 as much

00:28:26.420 as those

00:28:27.180 elite

00:28:28.000 and fancy

00:28:28.940 people

00:28:29.460 and I think

00:28:29.920 there's a lot

00:28:30.400 of resentment

00:28:31.140 around that

00:28:32.800 from sort of

00:28:33.600 Canada's ruling

00:28:34.360 class

00:28:34.980 there can

00:28:36.960 be

00:28:37.220 I don't

00:28:38.240 discount

00:28:38.560 what you're

00:28:38.900 saying

00:28:39.140 there can

00:28:39.560 be

00:28:39.740 I've run

00:28:40.100 into it

00:28:40.680 I've worked

00:28:41.600 on Parliament

00:28:42.140 Hill for

00:28:42.600 many years

00:28:43.220 I've worked

00:28:43.700 in rural Nova

00:28:44.220 Scotia

00:28:44.620 I've talked

00:28:45.020 to people

00:28:45.440 from every

00:28:46.320 walk of life

00:28:46.840 from literally

00:28:47.500 homeless

00:28:48.440 drug addicted

00:28:49.020 people who

00:28:49.640 are in

00:28:49.880 desperate

00:28:50.180 straits

00:28:50.680 in like

00:28:51.200 a women's

00:28:51.620 shelter

00:28:51.860 all the way

00:28:52.440 up to the

00:28:52.760 prime minister

00:28:53.220 and everything

00:28:54.120 in between

00:28:54.640 most people

00:28:57.200 are good

00:28:57.640 I think a lot

00:28:59.040 of this

00:28:59.360 is misunderstanding

00:29:00.080 I truly

00:29:00.820 do

00:29:01.060 I think

00:29:02.000 there are

00:29:02.360 those hard

00:29:03.060 boiled

00:29:03.360 people who

00:29:04.360 don't like

00:29:05.420 other people

00:29:05.900 and they'll

00:29:06.560 come up with

00:29:06.960 any reason

00:29:07.420 that they

00:29:07.760 want to

00:29:09.020 not like

00:29:09.360 them

00:29:09.500 and that

00:29:09.760 can include

00:29:10.480 blue collar

00:29:11.300 working class

00:29:11.940 people

00:29:12.260 people who

00:29:12.880 work in

00:29:13.180 trades

00:29:13.480 people who

00:29:13.860 drive trucks

00:29:14.460 people who

00:29:15.040 hunt for

00:29:15.740 their own

00:29:16.020 food

00:29:16.360 people who

00:29:16.780 fish

00:29:17.040 people who

00:29:17.420 own ATVs

00:29:18.200 there is a

00:29:18.940 class of

00:29:19.340 people who

00:29:19.780 just look

00:29:20.160 down on

00:29:20.580 that

00:29:20.780 but we're

00:29:21.460 never going

00:29:21.900 to change

00:29:22.360 those people's

00:29:22.960 minds

00:29:23.280 who we can

00:29:24.700 change

00:29:25.220 is the

00:29:25.680 majority of

00:29:26.440 people who

00:29:26.860 are good

00:29:27.700 who would

00:29:28.680 only hurt

00:29:29.200 another person

00:29:29.900 by accident

00:29:30.700 and this is

00:29:31.920 what I think

00:29:32.340 is happening

00:29:32.820 here

00:29:33.160 I think

00:29:34.060 because this

00:29:34.760 has become

00:29:35.200 so theoretical

00:29:36.240 and so

00:29:36.920 top line

00:29:37.760 and all

00:29:38.540 about macro

00:29:39.200 and micro

00:29:39.660 economics

00:29:40.200 and shipping

00:29:40.780 or not

00:29:41.180 shipping

00:29:41.480 or China

00:29:41.900 or not

00:29:42.260 China

00:29:42.580 that it's

00:29:43.460 easy to

00:29:43.900 forget

00:29:44.240 that there's

00:29:44.920 human beings

00:29:45.580 behind all

00:29:46.220 of these

00:29:46.500 issues

00:29:46.900 and those

00:29:47.900 are the

00:29:48.160 people that

00:29:48.600 I'm trying

00:29:48.960 to remind

00:29:49.600 that there

00:29:50.320 are human

00:29:50.700 beings

00:29:51.160 and that's

00:29:51.680 why I'm

00:29:51.940 appealing to

00:29:52.500 them

00:29:52.740 remember when

00:29:53.980 say your

00:29:55.100 mom who

00:29:55.960 was a

00:29:56.280 teacher was

00:29:56.920 laid off

00:29:57.620 for years

00:29:58.540 and you

00:29:59.620 had to

00:30:00.700 search for

00:30:01.120 work

00:30:01.400 remember

00:30:02.020 when your

00:30:02.460 mom maybe

00:30:03.060 who was

00:30:03.440 a nurse

00:30:03.960 back in

00:30:04.360 the 80s

00:30:05.000 the hospital

00:30:06.100 shut down

00:30:06.700 in Saskatchewan

00:30:07.580 and you guys

00:30:08.600 lost your

00:30:09.080 job

00:30:09.440 and now that

00:30:10.300 you are maybe

00:30:10.920 an accountant

00:30:11.760 or a writer

00:30:12.460 or a lawyer

00:30:13.100 maybe you're

00:30:13.640 living in

00:30:14.040 Toronto

00:30:14.360 maybe you're

00:30:14.840 living in

00:30:15.160 Ottawa

00:30:15.420 or Montreal

00:30:15.980 or somewhere

00:30:16.660 urban and

00:30:17.580 fancy and

00:30:18.180 removed

00:30:18.540 remember where

00:30:19.600 you come

00:30:20.000 from

00:30:20.280 and remember

00:30:21.340 most importantly

00:30:22.260 where your

00:30:23.280 food comes

00:30:23.840 from

00:30:24.100 where your

00:30:24.780 resources

00:30:25.240 come from

00:30:25.900 where your

00:30:26.500 electric power

00:30:27.340 comes from

00:30:27.940 how all of

00:30:28.900 your stuff

00:30:29.560 your food

00:30:30.180 your supplies

00:30:30.840 your furniture

00:30:31.340 was trucked

00:30:32.240 to you

00:30:32.840 using oil

00:30:34.180 and gas

00:30:34.900 and to 1.00

00:30:36.060 damn oil 1.00

00:30:37.120 and gas 0.99

00:30:37.820 is to 0.98

00:30:38.240 damn the

00:30:38.980 lifeblood 1.00

00:30:39.800 of the

00:30:40.500 modern world

00:30:41.220 we could

00:30:42.260 not function

00:30:43.200 the way we

00:30:43.720 are right

00:30:44.160 now without

00:30:44.700 oil and gas

00:30:45.520 and I encourage

00:30:46.480 those folks

00:30:47.100 who maybe

00:30:47.820 yeah like I

00:30:48.440 said now

00:30:48.720 are teachers

00:30:49.240 crack open

00:30:50.160 your history

00:30:50.680 books to

00:30:51.340 1850

00:30:52.240 and set

00:30:53.400 yourself back

00:30:54.200 and think

00:30:54.960 about what

00:30:55.580 that would be

00:30:56.160 like to

00:30:56.980 live without

00:30:57.600 oil and gas

00:30:58.400 because we

00:30:59.380 take it

00:30:59.760 for granted

00:31:00.320 now

00:31:00.680 so yeah

00:31:01.440 I think

00:31:01.800 there is

00:31:02.340 maybe a

00:31:02.900 small percentage

00:31:03.560 of people

00:31:03.980 who are

00:31:04.240 hard-boiled

00:31:04.800 they just

00:31:05.620 dislike other

00:31:06.220 people

00:31:06.580 especially those

00:31:07.560 who are not

00:31:07.920 of their

00:31:08.180 class

00:31:08.620 those sorts 0.97

00:31:09.560 of bigots

00:31:10.020 will always

00:31:10.500 exist

00:31:10.920 but I

00:31:11.540 heartily believe

00:31:12.400 the vast

00:31:12.960 majority of

00:31:13.600 people are

00:31:14.040 good

00:31:14.340 and they

00:31:15.020 just don't

00:31:15.700 know

00:31:16.000 what they

00:31:16.680 don't know

00:31:17.320 and that's

00:31:18.200 what I'm

00:31:18.400 trying to

00:31:19.040 educate them

00:31:19.700 about

00:31:19.960 what they

00:31:20.580 don't know

00:31:21.020 now do

00:31:21.880 you think

00:31:22.440 that we've

00:31:24.160 seen the

00:31:24.560 worst of

00:31:25.060 this or is

00:31:25.600 the worst

00:31:26.100 really yet to

00:31:26.960 come

00:31:27.300 the reason

00:31:27.980 I say

00:31:28.360 that is

00:31:28.960 I just

00:31:29.940 read an

00:31:30.240 article this

00:31:30.760 morning that

00:31:31.220 Kinder Morgan

00:31:32.040 who you

00:31:33.580 know is

00:31:33.820 looking at

00:31:34.220 liquidating

00:31:34.720 their Canadian

00:31:35.240 assets

00:31:35.620 they've

00:31:36.100 already

00:31:36.400 washed their

00:31:37.540 hands of

00:31:37.940 a pipeline

00:31:38.540 they're

00:31:39.300 looking at

00:31:39.800 investing in

00:31:40.740 a Bakken

00:31:41.300 shale pipeline

00:31:42.180 in North

00:31:44.640 Dakota

00:31:44.980 meaning they're

00:31:45.880 happily ready

00:31:46.660 to invest

00:31:47.440 in oil and

00:31:48.060 gas projects

00:31:48.780 they just

00:31:49.640 don't want

00:31:49.960 to do it

00:31:50.360 here and

00:31:50.860 I mean

00:31:51.140 the point

00:31:51.720 to be made

00:31:52.240 is that

00:31:52.620 you know

00:31:52.960 southern

00:31:53.820 Saskatchewan

00:31:54.620 is

00:31:54.920 Bakken

00:31:55.440 shale

00:31:55.780 but

00:31:56.400 Kinder Morgan

00:31:57.540 is not

00:31:57.860 investing

00:31:58.500 there

00:31:59.020 they're

00:31:59.640 investing

00:32:00.080 on the

00:32:00.520 American

00:32:00.960 side

00:32:01.560 and then

00:32:01.940 with this

00:32:02.800 whole

00:32:03.180 C69

00:32:04.580 environmental

00:32:05.440 review bill

00:32:06.700 that's meandering

00:32:07.600 through the

00:32:08.200 Senate

00:32:08.420 and that's

00:32:08.980 going to

00:32:09.280 give

00:32:09.560 undue

00:32:10.800 political

00:32:11.360 powers

00:32:11.900 to the

00:32:12.340 environment

00:32:12.720 minister

00:32:13.100 to basically

00:32:13.920 squash

00:32:15.460 any

00:32:15.900 environmental

00:32:16.840 review

00:32:17.400 I'm really

00:32:18.640 worried about

00:32:19.460 the signal

00:32:20.020 that this

00:32:20.420 is sending

00:32:20.860 to the

00:32:21.360 global

00:32:21.760 investment

00:32:22.320 community

00:32:22.980 we're

00:32:24.180 sending a

00:32:24.680 terrible

00:32:25.000 signal

00:32:25.420 to the

00:32:25.740 global

00:32:26.000 investment

00:32:26.360 community

00:32:26.820 you talk

00:32:27.580 to anybody

00:32:28.260 worth their

00:32:28.960 weight

00:32:29.300 who understands

00:32:30.280 resources

00:32:30.800 and the

00:32:31.160 resource

00:32:31.440 sector

00:32:31.860 and trade

00:32:32.620 between

00:32:32.960 Canada

00:32:33.400 and the

00:32:33.660 rest of

00:32:33.940 the world

00:32:34.300 especially

00:32:35.080 the complicated

00:32:35.880 relationship

00:32:36.460 we have

00:32:36.960 with our

00:32:37.200 neighbors

00:32:37.420 to the

00:32:37.720 south

00:32:37.940 and the

00:32:38.200 United

00:32:38.400 States

00:32:38.840 and we're

00:32:39.660 sending

00:32:40.020 all the

00:32:40.820 wrong

00:32:41.020 signals

00:32:41.480 for a

00:32:42.560 company

00:32:42.900 like Kinder

00:32:43.500 Morgan

00:32:43.880 to fight

00:32:44.680 for five

00:32:45.200 years

00:32:45.640 begging

00:32:46.400 money

00:32:46.900 into our

00:32:47.820 hands

00:32:48.400 getting

00:32:49.040 approvals

00:32:49.840 to twin

00:32:50.580 a pipeline

00:32:51.160 they literally

00:32:51.860 already

00:32:52.500 owned

00:32:53.020 and operated

00:32:53.820 for years

00:32:54.840 and to have

00:32:55.920 them walk

00:32:56.520 away

00:32:56.840 that's

00:32:57.780 enormous

00:32:58.180 that's like

00:32:59.760 Microsoft

00:33:00.280 saying you

00:33:00.900 know what

00:33:01.280 I'm not

00:33:01.840 dealing with

00:33:02.340 personal

00:33:02.780 computers

00:33:03.260 anymore

00:33:03.660 in this

00:33:03.980 country

00:33:04.280 I'm walking

00:33:05.140 away

00:33:05.480 that's

00:33:06.640 crazy

00:33:07.040 and so 0.98

00:33:08.120 that needs

00:33:08.820 to change

00:33:09.520 and so

00:33:10.060 to answer

00:33:10.500 your question

00:33:11.080 I'm really

00:33:11.960 worried about

00:33:12.500 the future

00:33:12.940 too

00:33:13.300 but ultimately

00:33:14.640 this is a

00:33:15.260 democracy

00:33:15.760 and the

00:33:16.620 cabinet

00:33:17.040 and the

00:33:17.360 prime minister

00:33:17.920 do represent

00:33:19.140 Canadians

00:33:19.680 and they need

00:33:20.360 to answer

00:33:20.760 to them

00:33:21.220 and so I

00:33:22.200 think the

00:33:22.560 best thing

00:33:23.120 that we

00:33:23.440 can do

00:33:23.980 is try

00:33:24.840 to convince

00:33:25.520 them

00:33:25.900 change

00:33:26.640 their minds

00:33:27.360 make them

00:33:27.960 realize

00:33:28.520 that our

00:33:29.400 economy

00:33:29.960 our livelihood

00:33:30.880 our way

00:33:31.520 of life

00:33:31.960 our amazing

00:33:32.680 standard of

00:33:33.260 living

00:33:33.500 all depend

00:33:34.860 on the

00:33:35.540 resource sector

00:33:36.360 at its very

00:33:37.040 foundation

00:33:37.640 where I'm

00:33:38.160 standing right

00:33:38.900 now

00:33:39.260 at its very

00:33:40.020 foundation

00:33:40.600 that they

00:33:41.560 wouldn't be

00:33:42.080 able to

00:33:42.720 fly to

00:33:43.660 New York

00:33:44.180 to address

00:33:44.980 the United

00:33:45.420 Nations

00:33:45.940 unless we

00:33:46.820 had jet

00:33:47.320 fuel

00:33:47.620 and unless

00:33:48.460 we had

00:33:49.000 those minerals

00:33:49.860 that were

00:33:50.240 mined out

00:33:50.720 of the ground

00:33:51.280 to build

00:33:51.860 those airplanes

00:33:52.800 and those

00:33:53.360 jet planes

00:33:53.980 like it

00:33:54.700 sounds simplistic

00:33:55.700 but it seems

00:33:57.020 like it's too

00:33:57.500 simple for some

00:33:58.480 people to get

00:33:59.300 and that's what

00:34:00.300 we really need

00:34:00.940 to push right

00:34:01.580 now is that

00:34:02.260 we've got the

00:34:02.780 government we've

00:34:03.280 got they're the

00:34:04.300 ones in power

00:34:05.000 they're the ones

00:34:05.820 that say they

00:34:06.680 want to get

00:34:07.140 this thing built

00:34:07.880 and so all we

00:34:09.180 can do is take

00:34:10.000 them at their

00:34:10.420 word and fight

00:34:11.360 as hard as we

00:34:11.960 can try to

00:34:12.540 convince them

00:34:13.140 and now

00:34:13.860 especially here

00:34:15.020 with the

00:34:15.300 Canadian Taxpayers

00:34:16.100 Federation that

00:34:17.080 we own this

00:34:17.800 thing so we

00:34:18.980 spent about

00:34:19.500 4.5 billion on

00:34:20.980 the one I'm

00:34:21.400 standing on

00:34:22.040 right now and

00:34:23.460 to actually

00:34:24.460 twin the thing

00:34:25.300 will cost between

00:34:26.180 7 and 9

00:34:27.480 billion dollars

00:34:28.380 you add all

00:34:29.640 that up

00:34:30.280 Sheila and

00:34:31.280 take a look at

00:34:31.880 what we could

00:34:32.320 have bought

00:34:32.680 for it you

00:34:33.760 add up that

00:34:34.320 money it's

00:34:35.420 staggering so

00:34:36.780 for every single

00:34:37.720 first nation

00:34:38.340 across Canada we

00:34:39.640 could have built

00:34:40.260 state-of-the-art

00:34:41.400 water treatment

00:34:42.400 facilities

00:34:42.880 and septic

00:34:43.980 systems four

00:34:44.960 times over for

00:34:46.280 what we just

00:34:46.880 blew on this

00:34:47.980 pipeline for no

00:34:49.160 reason we could

00:34:50.360 build sick you

00:34:51.200 know those really

00:34:51.800 fancy rec centers

00:34:52.960 that you see

00:34:53.440 nowadays the

00:34:54.060 Olympic-sized

00:34:54.540 swimming pools

00:34:55.120 and the hockey

00:34:55.560 rinks and

00:34:55.980 libraries and

00:34:56.460 the theaters

00:34:56.860 they just yeah

00:34:58.320 they just built

00:34:58.820 a really big one

00:34:59.420 in Calgary

00:34:59.880 we could build

00:35:00.960 67 of them

00:35:02.340 across Canada

00:35:03.440 we'd run out

00:35:04.440 of places to

00:35:05.060 stick it in

00:35:05.580 Nanaimo we

00:35:06.580 could rebuild

00:35:07.160 sick kids

00:35:07.700 hospital from

00:35:08.400 the ground up

00:35:09.240 three or four

00:35:10.100 times over in

00:35:11.200 Toronto like

00:35:12.240 for what we

00:35:12.700 just blew

00:35:13.420 unnecessarily on

00:35:14.700 this thing we

00:35:15.320 didn't have to

00:35:15.880 do this all

00:35:16.860 Trudeau needed

00:35:17.480 to do all the

00:35:18.180 Prime Minister

00:35:18.580 needed to do

00:35:19.280 was declare

00:35:20.060 paramountcy he

00:35:21.460 didn't even need

00:35:21.960 to pass a bill

00:35:22.580 would have taken

00:35:23.260 about a morning's

00:35:23.900 worth of work

00:35:24.380 is a term

00:35:24.980 called paramountcy

00:35:25.940 that's where he

00:35:26.700 says you know

00:35:27.120 what we're the

00:35:27.860 federal government

00:35:28.440 we have jurisdiction

00:35:29.440 over this pipeline

00:35:30.420 we're going to

00:35:30.980 enforce the rule

00:35:31.680 of law

00:35:32.140 Kinder Morgan

00:35:32.900 you've got your

00:35:33.540 green light go

00:35:34.180 for it that's all

00:35:35.240 that needed to

00:35:35.740 happen and they

00:35:36.300 didn't do it

00:35:37.000 so we've really

00:35:37.960 got to work hard

00:35:38.580 at convincing

00:35:39.060 them otherwise

00:35:39.740 unbelievable

00:35:41.840 now I said off

00:35:45.220 the top that you

00:35:46.060 are in the

00:35:47.180 belly of the

00:35:47.880 beast but I

00:35:49.300 don't really feel

00:35:50.060 like you're in

00:35:50.460 the belly of the

00:35:51.100 beast and the

00:35:51.600 reason I say 0.73

00:35:52.240 that is because

00:35:53.680 while I think

00:35:55.260 you are an

00:35:55.800 exceptional

00:35:56.240 individual Chris

00:35:57.240 I actually think

00:35:58.340 that you're

00:35:58.680 probably indicative

00:35:59.560 of the normal

00:36:00.680 BC-er and I

00:36:02.220 think sometimes

00:36:03.140 us in Alberta

00:36:04.120 and Saskatchewan

00:36:05.160 to a certain

00:36:05.800 extent we sort

00:36:06.980 of feel like

00:36:07.420 we're constantly

00:36:07.860 on the defensive

00:36:08.600 with the rest

00:36:09.220 of the country

00:36:09.820 the east is

00:36:10.660 trying to pick

00:36:11.160 our pockets

00:36:11.840 and the west

00:36:13.880 is trying to

00:36:14.580 block our

00:36:15.100 pipelines but I

00:36:16.700 don't think that

00:36:17.600 that's really

00:36:19.040 what it's like

00:36:20.780 on the ground

00:36:21.580 with the everyday

00:36:22.480 BC-er 1.00

00:36:23.220 that's absolutely

00:36:24.680 true so right

00:36:25.900 now I'm physically

00:36:26.700 standing in the

00:36:27.540 Frasier Valley

00:36:28.040 so we're in the

00:36:29.100 corridor where

00:36:29.760 Highway 1

00:36:30.320 comes through

00:36:30.980 Kinder Morgan

00:36:31.780 pipeline comes

00:36:32.440 through I think

00:36:33.040 there's two or

00:36:33.660 three natural gas

00:36:34.720 pipelines running

00:36:35.460 around me

00:36:35.920 somewhere it

00:36:36.860 is promoted

00:36:37.740 and supplied

00:36:38.840 by fishing

00:36:39.460 logging mining

00:36:40.320 you name it

00:36:41.100 it is a major

00:36:41.640 resource area

00:36:42.480 it really only

00:36:43.640 starts to get

00:36:44.500 anti-Alberta

00:36:45.540 when you cross

00:36:46.660 over the

00:36:47.440 Surrey-Langley

00:36:48.460 border

00:36:48.800 I'm not kidding

00:36:49.740 as you're driving

00:36:50.420 into Metro

00:36:51.040 Vancouver

00:36:51.460 it is you know

00:36:53.040 very supportive

00:36:53.800 of oil and gas

00:36:54.780 every time I do

00:36:55.440 streeters to go

00:36:56.260 ask people

00:36:57.000 what do you think

00:36:57.780 of oil and gas

00:36:58.460 what do you think

00:36:58.960 about the pipeline

00:36:59.560 what do you think

00:37:00.080 about Alberta

00:37:00.620 what do you think

00:37:01.120 about resource

00:37:01.620 development

00:37:02.060 it's very solidly

00:37:03.620 in favor

00:37:04.120 no matter how

00:37:04.760 they vote

00:37:05.220 and I mean that

00:37:05.820 it's very solidly

00:37:06.880 in favor of things

00:37:07.740 like that

00:37:08.200 right up until

00:37:08.920 you get to

00:37:09.660 the Fraser River

00:37:10.840 when you cross

00:37:11.880 over between Surrey

00:37:12.880 and over that

00:37:13.640 Portman Bridge

00:37:14.340 into Burnaby

00:37:14.880 that's where things

00:37:15.980 really change

00:37:16.740 and you can take

00:37:17.540 a look at it

00:37:18.100 on any sort of map

00:37:19.080 depending on how

00:37:19.920 people vote

00:37:20.560 or how they express

00:37:21.300 themselves in polls

00:37:22.180 and opinion polls

00:37:22.960 but most of BC

00:37:24.200 is with Alberta

00:37:25.660 on this

00:37:26.360 including First Nations

00:37:27.840 and people from

00:37:28.680 every ethnic

00:37:29.440 background and walk

00:37:30.660 of life

00:37:31.080 because most of them

00:37:32.280 depend on the

00:37:33.320 resource sector

00:37:34.100 even if they don't

00:37:35.060 work in it directly

00:37:35.860 and just to give you

00:37:37.000 an example

00:37:37.540 I remember back

00:37:38.700 when I was at

00:37:39.120 Sun News Network

00:37:39.820 doing a story

00:37:40.780 on a corporation

00:37:41.920 in New Brunswick

00:37:43.020 of all places

00:37:43.760 that built

00:37:44.980 modular houses

00:37:46.500 for Fort Mac

00:37:47.760 that is how they lived

00:37:49.400 they were amazing

00:37:50.520 they built these things

00:37:51.460 like Lego pieces

00:37:52.460 and then they shipped

00:37:53.300 them up to Northern Alberta

00:37:54.280 and stuck them together

00:37:55.220 their livelihood

00:37:56.560 depended on it

00:37:57.580 and they were almost

00:37:58.300 a world away

00:37:59.100 and so many people

00:38:00.680 it's funny

00:38:01.220 if you go around

00:38:01.960 the Atlantic Canada

00:38:02.780 Canadian provinces

00:38:03.760 their phone numbers

00:38:05.360 will be a 780 area code

00:38:07.460 or it'll be a Calgary area code

00:38:10.020 because they fly out to work

00:38:11.840 one of the major employers

00:38:13.300 in Atlantic Canada

00:38:14.360 is the oil and gas sector

00:38:16.540 in Alberta

00:38:17.260 and like we were here

00:38:18.620 with my own family

00:38:19.640 we always lived in BC

00:38:21.220 dad flew out to go to work

00:38:23.520 that was my early childhood

00:38:25.140 existence

00:38:25.680 of crying

00:38:26.300 when he'd leave

00:38:27.000 for so long

00:38:27.720 and so much of Canada

00:38:29.740 depends on it

00:38:31.180 and loves the oil

00:38:32.460 and gas sector

00:38:33.300 that I think it's easy

00:38:34.360 to just forget

00:38:35.560 that most of BC

00:38:37.380 is that way too

00:38:38.200 it's just the folks

00:38:39.220 who live in like 0.89

00:38:40.300 the heart of Metro Vancouver

00:38:41.600 and who pull the levers

00:38:43.360 of power in Victoria

00:38:44.440 they get an awful lot

00:38:45.720 of media

00:38:46.100 and it's easy

00:38:46.980 to start thinking

00:38:47.780 that you're full

00:38:49.160 of enemies here

00:38:49.820 you're really not

00:38:50.580 you know

00:38:51.800 you remind me

00:38:52.480 of the old joke

00:38:53.280 that Fort McMurray

00:38:54.420 is the largest city

00:38:55.780 in Newfoundland

00:38:56.980 it's so true

00:38:58.520 it's so true

00:38:59.780 well hey

00:39:00.480 there's that Robert Munch book

00:39:01.840 right

00:39:02.100 I forget what it's called

00:39:03.240 but it's all about

00:39:04.400 a family up in Fort Mac

00:39:06.000 and if you look carefully

00:39:07.380 in a little kid's bedroom

00:39:08.680 and look on their poster

00:39:09.660 there's the big flag

00:39:10.480 in Newfoundland there

00:39:11.520 they're eating fish

00:39:12.600 it's a Newfoundland family

00:39:13.820 that's living up in Fort Mac

00:39:15.160 yeah

00:39:16.100 I just think that's beautiful

00:39:17.540 it's really what

00:39:18.560 our country is all about

00:39:20.500 and it's a shame sometimes

00:39:21.760 that as Albertans

00:39:22.960 we sort of feel alienated

00:39:24.360 when we really have

00:39:25.740 a lot of friends

00:39:26.660 and allies

00:39:27.360 across the entire country

00:39:28.780 Chris I think I've taken up

00:39:30.460 enough of your time

00:39:31.660 it looks beautiful

00:39:32.680 so get out there

00:39:33.640 and enjoy your day

00:39:34.380 but I want to thank you so much

00:39:35.460 for coming on the show

00:39:36.780 I want to thank you

00:39:38.440 from the bottom of my heart

00:39:39.620 for writing that poignant article

00:39:41.320 and I want to thank you

00:39:43.060 for being such a strong advocate

00:39:44.740 for the forgotten man

00:39:46.860 and his family

00:39:48.080 thank you for having me on

00:39:50.260 and thank you for the work

00:39:51.480 that you do

00:39:51.960 to help these people

00:39:52.860 and their voices matter

00:39:54.380 and I really appreciate the time

00:39:56.620 thanks Chris

00:39:57.740 there you have it

00:40:00.540 Chris Sims

00:40:01.120 of the Canadian Taxpayer Federation

00:40:03.140 she's the BC director

00:40:05.460 and she's fighting

00:40:06.420 for families like yours

00:40:07.820 hey everybody

00:40:19.720 welcome back

00:40:20.500 now this is the part of the show

00:40:21.820 where Ezra normally reads

00:40:23.400 his viewer feedback

00:40:24.440 in other words

00:40:25.440 his hate mail

00:40:26.580 now I didn't actually

00:40:28.100 get a lot of interesting

00:40:29.620 hate mail this week

00:40:30.640 maybe I'm losing my touch

00:40:32.500 for irritating people

00:40:33.580 or maybe I'm just getting

00:40:34.540 desensitized to the amount

00:40:35.760 of gross things

00:40:36.520 that get slung my way

00:40:38.460 on the internet

00:40:39.100 so maybe

00:40:39.760 let's end the show

00:40:41.200 on a more

00:40:41.920 constructive note

00:40:43.500 I went to the comment section

00:40:45.200 of our rebel website

00:40:46.460 and twitter

00:40:47.100 to see what you guys

00:40:48.420 are saying about what we

00:40:49.840 are covering this week

00:40:51.320 now Ezra had a phenomenal

00:40:53.700 interview with

00:40:54.660 People's Party of Canada

00:40:56.480 leader Maxime Bernier

00:40:58.560 Wednesday night

00:40:59.380 if you haven't watched it

00:41:00.600 go back and do it

00:41:01.880 it's great

00:41:02.520 and it's out from behind

00:41:03.800 the paywall

00:41:04.320 for everybody to see

00:41:05.600 Ezra asked Bernier

00:41:07.000 some really pointed

00:41:08.120 tough questions

00:41:09.060 about immigration

00:41:10.220 and Canadian values

00:41:11.600 and the CBC

00:41:12.360 and the dairy cartel

00:41:14.100 and whether or not

00:41:15.220 Bernier thought

00:41:15.840 his new party

00:41:16.540 was too splittist

00:41:18.220 on twitter

00:41:19.280 Dr. Michael Popp

00:41:21.260 writes

00:41:21.660 I give Maxime Bernier

00:41:23.380 credit for the courage

00:41:24.760 to go on the rebel

00:41:25.700 when every other

00:41:27.380 conservative politician

00:41:28.660 hides under their desk

00:41:30.320 you know what doctor

00:41:31.660 I completely agree

00:41:33.740 with you

00:41:34.140 Bernier really wants

00:41:35.600 to set himself apart

00:41:36.960 from the often 0.96

00:41:37.840 cowardly conservative 0.51

00:41:39.420 establishment 0.97

00:41:40.240 and he wants to

00:41:41.560 take on the bias

00:41:42.560 in the mainstream media

00:41:43.800 so speaking directly

00:41:45.240 to potential supporters

00:41:46.760 all one million

00:41:48.020 and then some

00:41:49.000 of our subscribers

00:41:49.840 is a terrific way

00:41:51.280 to do that

00:41:51.960 and I thought that

00:41:52.880 interview was excellent

00:41:54.080 and I hope it inspires

00:41:55.560 others to have

00:41:56.520 Bernier's fearlessness

00:41:57.640 when it comes

00:41:58.860 to the mainstream media

00:42:00.360 now my colleague

00:42:01.660 Ben Davies

00:42:02.500 has a really great

00:42:04.040 video this week

00:42:04.880 about Ted Cruz

00:42:05.840 and his wife

00:42:06.600 being harassed

00:42:07.600 and heckled

00:42:08.380 out of a restaurant

00:42:10.040 in response to that story

00:42:12.020 Paul McCullough comments

00:42:13.840 this incident has been

00:42:15.820 great advertising

00:42:17.420 for the Republican Party

00:42:18.860 voters have a choice

00:42:20.420 between Republicans 0.97

00:42:21.600 and these unhinged 1.00

00:42:24.000 mental patients 0.98

00:42:24.940 you know Paul

00:42:25.980 I think you're right 0.95

00:42:27.260 the crazier the left is

00:42:29.080 the more the walk away 0.84

00:42:30.560 from the left movement

00:42:31.700 grows

00:42:32.200 so while public life

00:42:34.340 for high profile

00:42:35.180 conservatives

00:42:35.780 may become a little

00:42:37.080 more difficult

00:42:37.720 in the foreseeable future

00:42:39.820 it really is making

00:42:41.280 the fringe left

00:42:42.160 and the mainstream left

00:42:43.640 that's embraced

00:42:44.440 the tactics 1.00

00:42:45.160 of these lunatics 0.99

00:42:46.200 look more and more 1.00

00:42:47.440 like something

00:42:48.020 normal people

00:42:48.660 just don't want

00:42:49.920 anything to do with

00:42:50.940 so I guess

00:42:51.780 in that respect

00:42:52.800 the glass is half full

00:42:54.900 and on my video

00:42:56.620 about Bill Blair's

00:42:57.720 ongoing ignorance

00:42:58.720 about the crisis

00:42:59.980 on the Canadian border

00:43:01.140 and what that means

00:43:02.700 to Canada's newest

00:43:04.020 sanctuary city

00:43:05.000 Edmonton

00:43:05.620 Alan Peterson writes

00:43:07.300 welcome to Canada

00:43:08.760 America's septic system

00:43:10.860 flush twice

00:43:11.860 it's a long way

00:43:13.060 to Edmonton

00:43:13.700 you know

00:43:14.480 that is

00:43:15.300 a brutally honest way

00:43:17.120 of putting what's

00:43:17.960 happening

00:43:18.380 on the Canadian border

00:43:20.080 the people leaving

00:43:21.560 the United States

00:43:22.580 to claim asylum

00:43:23.840 in Canada

00:43:24.400 are already

00:43:25.320 illegally

00:43:25.920 in the United States

00:43:26.900 they don't qualify

00:43:28.540 for asylum

00:43:29.540 in the United States

00:43:30.540 they don't even

00:43:31.540 qualify for

00:43:32.200 permanent residency

00:43:33.300 because they couldn't

00:43:34.440 follow the rules

00:43:35.820 that got them

00:43:36.640 into the United States

00:43:37.720 in the first place

00:43:39.460 and all these people

00:43:40.840 who couldn't

00:43:41.340 obey the rules

00:43:42.440 follow the rules

00:43:43.600 and do immigration

00:43:45.700 the right way

00:43:46.380 in the United States

00:43:47.180 well now

00:43:47.740 they're in Canada

00:43:48.800 and headed to Edmonton

00:43:50.440 to use resources

00:43:51.420 Edmonton taxpayers

00:43:52.440 paid for

00:43:53.040 and the city

00:43:54.020 didn't even bother

00:43:54.840 to ask taxpayers

00:43:56.100 their opinion

00:43:57.260 before they did it

00:43:58.340 but I want

00:43:59.480 to ask them

00:44:00.540 and I need your help

00:44:01.460 to do it

00:44:02.000 you can go to

00:44:02.580 upholdthelaw.ca

00:44:05.000 to crowdfund

00:44:05.800 a proper opinion poll

00:44:07.120 so that Edmontonians

00:44:08.320 can have their say
