00:00:00.000 Canada Action has officially cancelled their convoy to Ottawa but the mission to bring Alberta's concerns to Justin Trudeau's doorstep is far from over.
00:00:10.800 I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed and you're watching The Gunn Show.
00:00:30.000 Canada Action has pumped the brakes on their protest convoy to Ottawa.
00:00:36.260 Now this is from their official press release.
00:00:39.180 Unfortunately, we have come to the decision that it is no longer viable to proceed with our planned convoy.
00:00:46.320 We cannot confidently mitigate the unexpected challenges associated with this event.
00:00:52.500 As such, we will be issuing full refunds to all of our donors.
00:00:57.060 The Canada Action convoy, yeah, it's dead.
00:01:01.060 But the Yellow Vest convoy, that one's still going ahead. 1.00
00:01:04.380 You see, they've got lots of truckers willing to participate.
00:01:06.960 They've got lots of cash in the bank to help them get there.
00:01:09.800 And they have lots of people and supporters.
00:01:13.060 Now these two convoys, both scheduled to leave the same day, were often painted as dueling convoys from competing movements.
00:01:21.500 Canada Action and Rally for Resources have both been pretty anti-Yellow Vest protests from the very beginning.
00:01:29.700 Making statements in the media denouncing the Yellow Vests and their convoy efforts and being clear to disassociate Canada Action from the Yellow Vests and their convoys.
00:01:40.580 The Yellow Vests movement, yeah, it's controversial, but that's what happens when you have an organic growing movement that doesn't have, for lack of a better word here, a manifesto that defines exactly who they are.
00:01:55.960 That absence of a manifesto leaves a vacuum where your enemies can fill in the blanks about your motives.
00:02:02.200 Now I think I'm one of the few people in all of Canadian media outside of my colleagues who has actually taken the time to wade into the Yellow Vests protests to actually ask them what their concerns are and then allow them to answer in their own words.
00:02:15.920 Now this diverse group of people have been referred to as white nationalists, as liars, as xenophobes and extremists.
00:02:24.400 Just look at this article here.
00:02:26.780 Opinion, Yellow Vests Canada are just a high visibility hate group.
00:02:31.400 Let's hope that those caught up in the lies and misinformation from the Yellow Vests can see through to the truth and come to the realization that we are all of the human race.
00:02:43.720 Now whoever wrote this garbage article doesn't even have the guts to put their name to it.
00:02:48.760 It's simply printed as being written by Bay Today staff.
00:02:53.260 This Guardian article trotted out a political science professor from the University of Toronto who said of the Yellow Vests,
00:03:02.140 When you scratch the surface, it's very shallow.
00:03:05.500 It's a vehicle for those who are very conservative and anti-immigrant and who want to use anything they can against the current government.
00:03:14.380 Speaking of shallow, that's a very shallow assessment of the Yellow Vests momentum.
00:03:22.460 They saw their Facebook grow to over 90,000 members in just two short weeks.
00:03:27.940 It's a pretty shallow assessment of the record-breaking trucking convoys that are being organized all across the prairies,
00:03:36.300 primarily on Yellow Vest Facebook pages.
00:03:39.940 And it is a pretty shallow assessment of the Yellow Vest issues by someone who's never spoken to them.
00:03:46.940 Last week I had my friend Bernard Hancock on the show and we talked about oil and gas issues.
00:03:51.540 And he said he didn't like the Yellow Vest, which is, of course, his opinion.
00:03:56.640 And this is a place where my guests get to express their opinions.
00:04:01.780 And at the time, I told Bernard I'm willing to talk to anybody who's willing to come on my show.
00:04:07.840 So, this week, I have the main organizer for the Yellow Vest convoy to Ottawa as my guest. 0.86
00:04:15.460 You'll see me ask him tough questions.
00:04:17.980 You'll see me ask him about what the mainstream media says about his Yellow Vest convoy and the movement.
00:04:26.540 And you'll see me ask him to define what the Yellow Vest convoy to Ottawa is all about. 0.90
00:04:32.140 So, joining me tonight in an interview we recorded yesterday is Glenn Carrot of Yellow Vests Canada.
00:04:47.980 So, joining me now is Glenn Carrot.
00:04:57.880 Now, Glenn, I would describe Glenn as one of the main organizers for the Yellow Vest convoy to Ottawa.
00:05:04.420 But the reason I have Glenn on the show today is because I want to give Glenn a chance to define his convoy because I think if Glenn doesn't, the CBC and really the enemies of what Glenn is trying to do will do it for him.
00:05:20.120 And I don't think they will treat him fairly.
00:05:22.580 Last week, I had Bernard Hancock on the show.
00:05:25.020 He's critical of the Yellow Vest movement, but I gave him a chance to say his piece, and I'll talk to anybody on the show here.
00:05:32.360 So, I wanted to have Glenn on because I do want to treat the Yellow Vests fairly. 1.00
00:05:36.500 I think I've done more talking to them than anybody else in the media.
00:05:40.260 And so, joining me now from Innisfail.
00:05:42.320 Am I right, Glenn?
00:05:43.300 Yeah, that's correct.
00:05:44.080 Hi.
00:05:44.780 Hi, Glenn.
00:05:45.480 Thanks for coming on the show.
00:05:46.760 Why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself before we get into anything else?
00:05:52.420 Because you really aren't a radical, are you?
00:05:54.920 You're not the wackadoodle that I think the mainstream media would like to portray many of the people involved in the Yellow Vest movement.
00:06:03.960 Yeah, no, I certainly am not.
00:06:05.860 I'm a family man.
00:06:07.760 I have grandkids.
00:06:08.620 I've got a small business in Innisfail here with locations in Grand Prairie, Estevan.
00:06:16.080 I own and operate a safety service company.
00:06:19.660 You know, I'm definitely not a radical.
00:06:21.240 I'm a peaceful, loving person.
00:06:23.920 And, you know, I hope that by the end of all this that we can really portray that that's the type of people that are just trying to fight for our country.
00:06:32.220 You know, and I think that's really what it is about.
00:06:34.740 When I've gone to, I mean, these convoys that are happening all across the province and I guess even into Saskatchewan, they really aren't being organized by the oil industry and the official representatives of the oil industry.
00:06:50.220 Like Canada Action, they are being organized on Yellow Vest Facebook pages by just average citizens who've had enough.
00:06:59.780 Is that your experience?
00:07:02.780 Not completely.
00:07:03.980 No.
00:07:04.540 Okay.
00:07:05.080 Well, a little of both.
00:07:06.240 You know, Canada actually has done their part in doing some rallies and their work has been pretty extensive with that.
00:07:15.700 And that's actually why right from the start that I reached out to all these groups to try and combine them so that we could, you know, get this one convoy together and work collaboratively and find some common ground that we can move forward with this.
00:07:29.360 So, yeah, you know, it isn't just the Yellow Vest.
00:07:31.960 There's been some rallies with some business people.
00:07:34.900 Sure.
00:07:35.840 Canada Action for sure.
00:07:37.680 And a lot by Yellow Vest.
00:07:39.760 So, we just want to be the ones that are open to bringing everybody together.
00:07:45.900 You know, and I'm so glad to hear you say that because I have seen people, and I would say even people who present themselves as official representatives of the pro-oil movement, attack the Yellow Vest. 0.86
00:07:59.940 And I'm very glad to hear you say that you're not doing the same, that, you know, you do see that you have common goals.
00:08:10.060 And like you said, you're fighting for Canada.
00:08:13.020 So, I'm very glad to see.
00:08:14.700 I think the word I would use is you're somewhat ecumenical with the other side who have sort of done their best to, what's the right word here, discredit what you're trying to do.
00:08:28.080 You really did want to work with Canada Action and bring the two convoys together.
00:08:34.600 Absolutely.
00:08:35.460 Yeah.
00:08:35.820 And again, we've never been the biased ones that, you know, we've said, you don't have to wear the Yellow Vest, just get behind the movement.
00:08:44.220 We're making this.
00:08:45.700 The convoys idea was so that we can make some noise and get people behind us so that, you know, Ottawa would wake up.
00:08:53.240 All of us looked at the convoys in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and B.C. and said, man, you know, everybody's banding together and doing great.
00:09:01.820 And it wasn't like it was my original idea that we said, hey, we should take it to Ottawa.
00:09:06.000 But I jumped on board and, you know, I'm a take the bull by the horns kind of guy.
00:09:11.720 And we moved forward.
00:09:13.600 Like, you know, we can't keep talking about it.
00:09:15.500 We got to keep going.
00:09:16.560 And, you know, and at the end of the day, and Bernard's, I did watch your clip on Bernard, and you know what, we stand behind everything that Bernard said.
00:09:25.780 He's 100% right.
00:09:27.160 We have to get our product to Tidewater.
00:09:30.080 We have to get Canada, the rest of Canada, using our product.
00:09:33.260 We have to change the image of our product.
00:09:36.220 And we got to stop spending money on foreign oil.
00:09:39.600 And, you know, at the end of the day, there's very little difference between the two groups.
00:09:45.260 And, again, I wish we could have just found common ground so that we could have moved forward.
00:09:49.360 But, you know, the carbon tax is, of course, another issue with ours.
00:09:53.860 And, you know, Canada's identity is an issue with Yellow Vest.
00:09:59.400 So at the end of the day, we're very common goals with the oil and gas industry and the bad rap that it's got undeservedly.
00:10:07.780 So, you know, it is unfortunate that we couldn't move forward together.
00:10:11.700 And, you know, I hope they continue, you know, continue with their good work of spreading the news of oil and gas and that it is a good, viable energy sector for our whole country.
00:10:22.320 It's so important.
00:10:24.440 You know, I do agree with you.
00:10:27.380 So I believe that the issue of not having tidewater access for our oil and gas and the fact that there's such foreign influence on environmental issues in Canada are part of, I think, the broader tent of Yellow Vest issues. 0.72
00:10:47.480 I think it is all about national sovereignty, that a country should be making decisions for itself in the best interest of the country.
00:10:57.920 And so I understand how the issue of foreign influence and environmental issues blocking pipelines falls right into migration issues and aversion to the United Nations.
00:11:12.160 It's all part of the same issue, and that's about national sovereignty, really.
00:11:16.980 Yeah, exactly.
00:11:17.900 And, I mean, you listen to the states, they're concerned about how our identity is going.
00:11:22.780 And, you know, we have forefathers.
00:11:24.620 My father migrated from Iowa, you know, from the Rainy Creek area in Bentley.
00:11:32.960 And, you know, those are our forefathers and our grandfathers, and they took on Canada.
00:11:38.660 They became Canadians, and they took on what it meant to be a Canadian.
00:11:42.780 And that's what we really need to be careful that we don't lose that identity.
00:11:46.820 We are not against immigration, but not in the least.
00:11:50.140 But let's just make sure it's controlled and that we, you know, that we don't have people coming illegally that are criminals and that shouldn't be in the country.
00:12:01.440 And just control it, you know, because we've got to watch our identity.
00:12:05.160 We're Canadians, and we need to stay Canadians. 0.96
00:12:07.700 Now, I wanted to ask you some questions about the convoy.
00:12:15.300 The convoy organized by your group, it's still going forward, is it not?
00:12:21.360 Oh, 100%.
00:12:22.340 Yeah, we've been forwarding forward.
00:12:24.420 We've been, you know, again, reaching out to all the groups.
00:12:28.240 We've, you know, we still, you know, if any group, we still say yellow vest or not yellow vest, get behind it.
00:12:34.480 You know, we just want to band together and make this a big rally and a big show for Ottawa that it's not just Western Canada.
00:12:45.700 It's all of Canada that's upset with the current government.
00:12:49.000 So, you know, it doesn't matter if you want to wear, have the yellow vest around your back, but just get behind the movement.
00:12:57.000 That's, you know, there's various different ways to be.
00:12:59.400 You know, I can use a sports analogy of, you know, you can be a Toronto Blue Jays fan, you can write various different ways.
00:13:05.940 You've got the players on the field, the bad boys, and then you've got people in the stands that are fans, and you've got people at home that are fans.
00:13:14.020 You know, they don't all wear the jersey, the Toronto Blue Jays jersey, but they're all behind it.
00:13:19.980 And that's what we need is for Canada to get behind what we're doing, and what we're doing is fighting for your rights and for the things that just aren't right in the government today.
00:13:30.000 So, you know, look at our motto and get behind the movement.
00:13:34.820 You know, I think that's one thing, some of the rhetoric that bothered me from some of the more fringe elements of the movement was, you know, this anti-Quebec sentiment.
00:13:47.700 And don't get me wrong, I'm one of the largest, loudest critics of Quebec politicians and the Quebec government.
00:13:54.640 But I would suggest that probably the people of Quebec, much like the people of Ontario now, they're very supportive of our oil and gas industry.
00:14:03.020 The problem is the politicians.
00:14:05.140 You know, once the politicians change, the people's voices can truly be heard.
00:14:09.740 Just look at Ontario.
00:14:11.080 Ontario had one of the governments that was the most against pipelines in the entire country under Kathleen Wynne, very anti-oil and gas development.
00:14:22.720 All it took was one election for the true voice of the people to be heard.
00:14:27.580 And now Doug Ford has passed a motion that says he will never stand in the way of pipeline development and blocking our access to the rest of the country.
00:14:37.080 So I'm glad to hear you say that, you know, there are other ways for Canadians to support you without participating in the convoy.
00:14:44.380 Because I really, truly believe this is a Canadian issue.
00:14:47.940 And I truly believe that most good, common sense Canadians, no matter what political ideology they are, do support prosperity for the country.
00:14:58.940 Yeah, absolutely.
00:14:59.960 I mean, you know, again, we go back to the energy sector, that how important it is for Canada and for our way of life.
00:15:05.780 And, you know, for Quebec to say that they don't have an appetite for pipelines, well, is your appetite better fed by supporting foreign oil in countries like Saudi Arabia that don't have very good human rights?
00:15:22.660 I mean, there was a girl on the news this morning, sorry, I can't remember the name, but came over from Saudi Arabia because of all the abuse that's going on over there.
00:15:30.340 And she was scared for her life.
00:15:32.300 Is that what they would rather support?
00:15:35.140 Or would they rather support their own country and have our energy sector go throughout the whole country and we can prosper by having this?
00:15:45.800 You know, that's one really great point.
00:15:48.280 And I don't think the Liberals are capable of making the connection there, that we have this young woman who has immigrated to Canada because she feared for her life.
00:15:58.400 And yet the Liberals cannot connect the human rights abuses to Canada actually supporting those human rights abuses by 40 percent of the oil in the Irving oil refinery coming in on a tanker ship from Saudi Arabia.
00:16:18.080 We are enriching the regime that oppresses young women like that. 0.67
00:16:22.940 And yet we have a government that calls itself a feminist government. 1.00
00:16:25.560 Exactly, $50 million a day in foreign oil.
00:16:30.660 And, you know, they may portray that, oh, we wouldn't want that young girl to come to Canada.
00:16:36.700 That is so absolutely false that, I mean, good for her.
00:16:40.360 I mean, what a strong, strong lady to come. 0.97
00:16:43.580 And Canada needs to open their arms to that.
00:16:46.640 But they need to go through the proper process to make sure that, you know, that she's taken care of and that the proper people are coming to this country and, you know, get rid of the criminals that aren't supposed to be coming to this country.
00:17:00.060 So it's a wonderful story.
00:17:01.660 She, you know, I can't imagine what she's been going through.
00:17:04.880 And exactly, why should we support that type of regime by buying their oil when we have our own resource here?
00:17:14.180 What people need to do is replace the word oil with any other product.
00:17:19.140 Just think of it as shoes or a T-shirt.
00:17:22.080 And you have this huge amount of a product that you're trying to get to Canada, to the rest of your own country.
00:17:27.780 It would be silly to even think that it wouldn't go that way.
00:17:30.420 So why wouldn't you buy your own product?
00:17:34.140 Yeah, I mean, if we did replace oil with maple syrup or Toyotas, I mean, there would be outrage and the government would act.
00:17:44.640 But instead, I think there is still an anti-Western sentiment that exists in the Liberal Party of Canada.
00:17:52.840 Yeah, absolutely.
00:17:53.600 And it goes back to the brainwashing of, you know, protesters that come up here and complain about our environmental standards, etc.
00:18:02.720 Because they do that because they can, right?
00:18:05.320 Because we're a free country and they get sent up here. 0.54
00:18:07.260 They try and send those protesters to Saudi Arabia or Venezuela and any other country.
00:18:11.160 They wouldn't be accepted.
00:18:12.780 And so they come here and protest.
00:18:14.520 And yet we have some of the highest environmental standards in the world, the highest technology in the world.
00:18:21.800 The U.S. has taken some of our technology for some of their fractional drilling.
00:18:26.840 That's why they're finally able to sustain their own oil reserves is because of Canadian technology.
00:18:33.520 And, you know, it's innovative.
00:18:37.260 And in order for our world to move forward in any kind of way, whether, you know, in 10 or 20 years or 50 years, if we do move away from oil and gas, that technology is going to come from the oil and gas industry.
00:18:49.120 Because that's where innovation starts.
00:18:52.160 You know, that is a fantastic point.
00:18:54.420 There will be no innovation into renewables without the help and cheap, affordable, reliable energy from our old friend fossil fuels.
00:19:02.460 I wanted to dispel some myths or give you a chance to answer to some of the allegations that we commonly hear, especially in the media, about the yellow vest.
00:19:15.380 We've heard Bob Ray, former NDP, now liberal Bob Ray, compare the yellow vest movement to the brown shirts.
00:19:24.240 What do you have to say in response to that?
00:19:27.220 Well, first of all, I don't know what the brown shirts are.
00:19:29.800 So, sorry.
00:19:33.420 But I encourage anybody to come to any rally and see that that's not who we are.
00:19:41.080 We're peaceful.
00:19:41.880 These rallies, every single rally that I've been to, and I've been to quite a few, and they're peaceful.
00:19:48.040 It's not the yellow vest people that are stepping out and being radical. 0.87
00:19:51.340 It's people that have maybe come out of, that maybe were at one point associated with the yellow vest.
00:19:57.480 But that's not who we want in this group.
00:20:00.220 There is no way that's who we want in this group.
00:20:02.500 This is a, we're peaceful, hardworking Canadians that are just tired of not being listened to.
00:20:09.720 Now, I've also seen insinuations that the yellow vests are Islamophobic or racist.
00:20:19.780 Now, I've come across quite a few people of color when I am talking to the yellow vest people.
00:20:26.380 My colleague, Kian Bexie in Calgary, came across a very energetic Chinese lady who was yelling about Trudeau. 0.97
00:20:33.680 What do you have to say to people who say that you're just, you know, basically white supremacists?
00:20:38.420 Well, that is absolutely ridiculous, of course, because, yes, we have all races in our group.
00:20:44.860 And, you know, the fear isn't about any one type of group per se, but it's about losing Canada's identity.
00:20:52.220 That's what it's all about.
00:20:53.740 We have to maintain our identity.
00:20:56.740 And the only way to do that is to have some sort of control, whatever that control.
00:21:02.200 You know, all I'm saying is let's revisit it.
00:21:04.720 This just isn't, this isn't working the way it's moving forward right now.
00:21:09.080 But there is all kinds of races in our movement and we are not prejudiced people.
00:21:13.480 And we are being portrayed as that and racist, but we are not.
00:21:18.360 I think you're being portrayed as that by people who have never bothered to talk to you.
00:21:23.580 We've never actually seen a yellow vest protest.
00:21:28.500 You've never been to a yellow vest convoy.
00:21:32.960 I've even seen people say that the yellow vests are anti-women. 0.57
00:21:37.360 And when I go to these yellow vest protests, I see lots of female truckers and a lot of chivalry. 1.00
00:21:43.920 There are people tripping over themselves to carry my camera equipment.
00:21:47.780 What do you have to say to allegations that the yellow vests are somehow anti-women?
00:21:51.520 Oh, again, absolutely ludicrous to think that, that, you know, you're right.
00:21:57.880 We're hardworking Canadians that want to band together and there just isn't a prejudice there.
00:22:04.960 And you made a good point is that it's all the people that aren't coming out to these rallies that are painting a brush because they see it in France.
00:22:13.120 And, you know what, it saddens me to see, you know, what's happened to France for sure.
00:22:18.340 But it didn't start that way.
00:22:20.060 It didn't start as a radical movement.
00:22:22.160 But let's ask ourselves, not that I'm saying that it's okay by any stretch of the imagination to have violence or anything like that, that I would never, ever say we want to be peaceful.
00:22:31.860 But why doesn't the government listen before it gets to that in France?
00:22:35.980 We're not going to be like that in Canada by any stretch.
00:22:38.660 We're going to be peaceful.
00:22:39.640 But, you know, why isn't the government listening?
00:22:43.500 You know, that's a great question.
00:22:45.460 Why isn't the government listening?
00:22:47.000 I often ask people at these protests that do you think the government is listening to you?
00:22:53.900 Because I think if this were autoworkers or nurses or government bureaucrats who were protesting in this way, week after week, in big cities and small towns, in the cold, over and over and over again, I think that the government would be brought to its knees.
00:23:15.040 But I just don't think the government is listening to you.
00:23:17.940 Well, they aren't out here.
00:23:18.980 You know, I mean, it started with Pierre Trudeau, that they never listened to us out here.
00:23:25.120 We're Albertans.
00:23:25.740 We never had a vote.
00:23:26.840 It's been going on and on and on for years.
00:23:28.900 And not just Albertans.
00:23:30.100 Sorry, I don't mean to paint that brush by any means.
00:23:32.600 But Western Canada, by the time it gets out here, the vote's done.
00:23:36.500 And now it's continued with Justin.
00:23:38.060 And this is what spearheaded the whole let's get to Ottawa because they need to start listening.
00:23:45.360 We can pound our feet, sort of speak, out here.
00:23:48.980 All we want.
00:23:50.000 But he doesn't care because it's out in Alberta.
00:23:53.720 He's already stated that he wants to phase out the OSAN.
00:23:56.460 So let's let them just go off in the dust.
00:24:00.680 But that's why that's not going to happen anymore.
00:24:03.740 We're moving forward.
00:24:05.320 So, Glenn, I guess now is a good time to ask you about some of the details of the convoy.
00:24:10.720 When is it?
00:24:11.680 How can people, if they are so inclined to get involved, and how can they, if they can't get involved, support what you're doing?
00:24:18.240 Yeah, absolutely.
00:24:19.240 So we're starting February 14th.
00:24:21.620 And, you know, we originally slated for February 15th.
00:24:25.920 That's why there's some confusion.
00:24:27.580 And the head organizer of the Canada Winter Games reached out to me and said, Glenn, we've got a bit of an issue.
00:24:33.980 And I said, no problem.
00:24:35.600 We'll work through it.
00:24:36.780 And I thought we could work through that day.
00:24:38.860 And at the end of the day, she said, it would be really good if you could move it.
00:24:41.580 And I said, absolutely.
00:24:42.340 So we moved the day.
00:24:44.140 And so we're heading out February 14th.
00:24:46.100 We're going to go to the Regina the first night.
00:24:49.080 And I'm going to tell you that it's my goal today to get all these towns nailed down.
00:24:53.660 And that's as far as I've been going to go far.
00:24:55.580 But, yeah.
00:24:56.520 And then so we're going to be landing in Ottawa on the 19th, weather permitting, of course.
00:25:01.680 We've got a day contingency there.
00:25:04.100 It's a long haul, though.
00:25:05.160 We've got to get out there.
00:25:06.900 And we've got all the logistics with Ron Byers from Greater Ontario Truckers Association.
00:25:13.880 And he's been helping us in Ontario and Bonnie and different people to make sure that we've got all the logistics in Ottawa taken care of,
00:25:22.460 right down to, as I said, the first eight people to porta-potties to having a place to eat and everything.
00:25:29.020 And it's a registered protest.
00:25:30.960 You know, we're taking care of the details so that, you know, because we're law-abiding, peaceful citizens.
00:25:38.780 That's the bottom line.
00:25:40.680 We're doing this right.
00:25:42.680 So how can people get more information as it develops?
00:25:46.780 Like, where are you starting?
00:25:48.480 What time are you leaving?
00:25:49.820 And where can they find those other cities and towns once you get them nailed down?
00:25:54.440 Yeah.
00:25:55.380 We'll be posting the whole route online.
00:25:58.580 They can go to Yellow Vest Official Convoy to Ottawa, and the official is in brackets, for any updates.
00:26:07.380 And there's a GoFundMe page, of course, because you can well imagine that this is going to be not a cheap feat.
00:26:13.920 We're trying to get fuel for all the guys and everything.
00:26:17.220 And so we've got some major players on board.
00:26:19.760 Paderny's just got a hold of me today and said they're sending a truck.
00:26:22.260 So, you know, we've got Husky involved.
00:26:25.300 We've got some pretty major players going.
00:26:28.400 So they'll follow along, and we'll have it posted, what towns we're stopping at.
00:26:33.040 Regina's already started.
00:26:34.280 They were chomping at the bit today that, you know, when are we going to be here?
00:26:38.260 So I reached out to those guys and, you know, told them we'll be there on the 14th.
00:26:43.000 And then where it goes from there is, you know, somewhere between there and Thunder Bay.
00:26:48.280 And then, you know, we've got to keep track.
00:26:50.240 We've got about 1,000 kilometers a day.
00:26:52.220 It's a 3,900, 3,800-kilometer track.
00:26:56.940 You know, just driving a car is one thing.
00:26:59.440 But now you've got however many trucks we're going to have, 1,000 trucks or 2,000 or however many we've got.
00:27:05.940 And how are you keeping track of that GoFundMe?
00:27:08.280 Is there going to be a transparent accounting for people who, you know, are not necessarily a little skeptical,
00:27:15.340 but who, you know, just want to make sure that everything is on the up and up?
00:27:19.220 Not to say that you're not, but I think the best way to move is always transparency.
00:27:24.900 A hundred percent.
00:27:25.740 I've actually hired a chartered accountant to take care of the GoFundMe page.
00:27:30.760 And it's all going to be ledgered and, you know, 100% above board.
00:27:36.100 Anybody that wants to, it's like a, it'll be like a public book as far as budget or whatever's concerned.
00:27:43.320 Anybody that wants to stop here and have a look at it or have that information sent to them, 100%.
00:27:48.680 It's, anybody that needs that information is perfectly welcome to it.
00:27:55.000 Glenn, can you give us that, it was a Facebook page, right?
00:27:57.760 That's where the main organizing is happening?
00:28:00.780 Yeah, you bet.
00:28:01.460 So it's Yellow Vest, official, Convoy to Ottawa, and the official is in brackets.
00:28:08.300 Okay, great.
00:28:09.020 I just don't, I just don't want any confusion.
00:28:11.420 I want people to be sure that they're supporting the right group, again, if they're so inclined.
00:28:16.560 Glenn, I want to thank you for taking the time to come on the show today.
00:28:19.160 I want to thank you for your honesty.
00:28:20.760 I want to thank you for your less than bitter attitude with people who are out there saying some pretty terrible things about you.
00:28:29.840 And I think it really speaks to the quality of you as an individual, that you're not vindictive about any of this.
00:28:38.140 And you're just carrying on because I think the issues are bigger than you.
00:28:42.240 So hopefully, as things get closer, we can check back in with you.
00:28:46.680 Sounds good, Sheila.
00:28:47.300 I appreciate it.
00:28:48.040 Thank you very much.
00:28:49.320 Thanks, Glenn.
00:28:49.920 Have a great day.
00:28:50.440 Have a great day.
00:28:59.840 So now you've heard it for your own ears.
00:29:05.980 You've heard Glenn define the Yellow Vest Convoy.
00:29:08.760 You know what he stands for now and what he hopes to achieve.
00:29:12.140 You don't have to take the word of the mainstream media or second and third party amateur analysis of what his Yellow Vest Convoy stands for. 0.57
00:29:21.280 You heard it straight out of the horse's mouth.
00:29:23.860 And now you can judge for yourself.
00:29:26.360 Now, despite all that's been said about Glenn Carrot, the man doesn't seem to have an ounce of animosity directed at people who call him names he says that he's not.
00:29:37.160 I think that's pretty telling about Glenn, don't you?
00:29:39.980 And I think that Glenn has more in common with his detractors than his detractors would like to admit.
00:29:46.700 The movement to defend Canada's oil and gas sector is bigger than one man, one organization, or even one group.
00:29:53.440 Well, everybody, that's the show for tonight.
00:29:56.300 Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:29:58.100 I'll see everybody back here in the same time, in the same place next week.
00:30:02.240 And remember, don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think.
00:30:23.440 Thank you.
00:30:23.800 Thank you.
00:30:34.580 Thank you.
00:30:40.180 Thank you.
