The government failed to pass its 2019 budget after a tie vote in the House of Commons. Conservative MPs abstained and the vote was tied at 7-7. What does that mean for the future of the government? And what does it mean for Canada?
00:05:03.040But that still might not have done it.
00:05:06.120But clearly, the conservatives were worried that the government could fall because they don't want an election, even though this could be hell on earth if this government is allowed to fully engage.
00:05:26.760Here's the thoughts of Kirk Lubomov on X last night.
00:05:31.400It's important to understand that the CPC doesn't want an election.
00:05:38.460And was prepared to abstain more votes for in case the NDP all voted against it.
00:05:43.640Andrew Scheer and MP Reid voted after the vote count was known, claiming they had technical difficulties, even though they're there in person.
00:05:52.900This is politics, ladies and gentlemen.
00:08:17.800I'm seriously, seriously worried about what's going to happen to independent media.
00:08:25.860New media, independent, but largely independent media that is very reliant on social media, on the Internet.
00:08:34.140And there are enormous draconian pieces of legislation coming down to clamp down on my ability, on your ability to function.
00:08:47.420We just saw what happened at Katie's farm.
00:08:53.180Because there would have been a media block out at that farm when the CFIA, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, started massacring the ostriches.
00:09:05.180On the beginning, on the evening of November 6th, continuing to the wee small hours of the morning of November 7th.
00:10:30.640I'm going to save the other one for afterwards because the arrogance of this man, he knew that the opposition parties weren't going to bite.
00:10:49.920The Leader of the Opposition and his colleagues have an opportunity to vote for generational investment to build this economy.
00:10:58.380The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:11:02.280Maybe it's a good day for him and his Brookfield buddies who are dodging their tax bills.
00:11:06.860But it's a terrible day for the Canadian people stuck paying record-high grocery bills.
00:11:13.320In fact, the Prime Minister said he'd be judged by prices at the grocery store.
00:11:16.960Today, Statistics Canada revealed that grocery price inflation is almost double the Bank of Canada's target, rising 40% faster in Canada than in the United States of America.
00:11:27.320The direct result of the Liberal Industrial Carbon Tax on Farmers, the Food Packaging Tax, the Fuel Standard Tax.
00:11:33.580The Prime Minister puts his budget on the national credit card.
00:11:36.760Does he expect Canadians to pay their groceries the same way?
00:11:56.820And we need you to stand up with some kind of righteous anger, some kind of at least enthusiasm about these censorship and surveillance bills that are forthcoming.
00:12:11.460We need the same kind of fervor, the same kind of disgust that you've shown towards other pieces of liberal legislation.
00:12:21.780We need that to come against these censorship and surveillance bills.
00:13:02.860We're encouraged by—I'm personally encouraged by the progress that we're making.
00:13:07.040There's a few more issues that we're working on ironing out, and I, you know, looking forward to that progress over the course of the coming weeks.
00:13:19.800It's—and, you know, this is—this is a very important process for the province, for the country.
00:13:26.200It's related in many respects to what we're talking about today in terms of some aspects of this are for major investments that will help build Alberta strong, build Canada strong, make us more independent and more prosperous.
00:13:41.680We want to make sure we're doing it right.
00:13:43.460I will reference one thing, if I could just bring it back, and then I'll hand it back to you for your follow-up.
00:13:48.120In terms of—because we're here talking about the Major Projects Office and these big projects, one of the first bits of work that the Major Projects Office is very much engaged in is around the Pathways Project.
00:14:05.580And your car storage, this is an opportunity for Canada to develop a new industry, to have decarbonized oil and gas,
00:14:15.060and it is part of—very much part of these discussions that we're having with Alberta.
00:14:19.860How do we move that forward, part and parcel with other aspects?
00:14:32.440So that is where we stand with the—with the budget.
00:14:35.940And I had a 30-minute conversation, interview with Alberta Premier Daniel Smith last week, and as I said, I have nothing but admiration for the Premier and the fact that she's taken tough stands,
00:14:51.260and she's done some great work on the transgender file, and she's demanded that biological males don't participate in female sports.
00:15:00.700She's demanded that kids can't just run out without their parents' authority and supervision and have gender reassignment, as they say, or a sex change operation.
00:15:11.920She has been powerful on these issues.
00:15:14.620And I have to say it was a bit of an awkward conversation because I think she is just hoping for too much for Mark Carney.
00:15:50.180Now, I want to show a couple of videos, excerpts from my interview yesterday with Katie Basitne.
00:16:00.660And incredible stuff came out of that interview because, first of all, she talked about the fact that charges against her and her mother for feeding her ostriches have been dropped.
00:16:10.260You know, as so many of you remarked, you know, bogus to begin with.
00:16:16.760CFI said, yeah, go ahead, feed your ostriches.
00:16:18.820As soon as they did, I had them arrested.
00:16:21.740And she talks about her new venture, which we'll be talking about much more in the next few days, which is a voice for farmers.
00:16:29.440This will be an association to fight, really fight, for farmers who are being harassed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the long arm of the federal government.
00:16:39.700This is a means of defending farmers from the war on agriculture being waged by the liberal Kearney government, just as it was waged by the Trudeau liberal government.
00:17:35.780We were simply parked in the middle of the field, carrying out a task that I have to remind you that we were emailed to do so on September 22nd by Canadian Food Inspection Agency themselves.
00:17:50.300Now, that email stated that they wanted us to continue to feed and water the animals while they prepared for their kill.
00:17:57.280And we said, of course, because maintaining that routine and that level of what they're used to while their world was going to be turned upside down was very important.
00:18:11.000So we sat out there and we said, one, they were trying to kick us out of the pens and they said we weren't allowed to feed.
00:18:18.060And we said, we're staying because we were asked to feed and we're going to stay with the animals.
00:18:23.080That turned into them saying, fine, you can go feed the animals.
00:18:27.180And when we went to go feed the animals, we were arrested.
00:18:30.420Our farm truck was swarmed by a few police vehicles and we were taken up to a command center up in a sand pit here.
00:19:18.840Do you think this indicates in any way that maybe the establishment and I use that term to mean the judiciary, the police, the governments, the people who made life miserable for you over the last year and very, very miserable over the last seven, eight weeks.
00:19:37.880Maybe are they saying, hold it, we're just going to look stupid, even more stupid if we go through with this kangaroo court, we go through with these entrapment charges.
00:19:51.000Because they've been embarrassed, not only during the occupation of your farm, but in this slipshod, incompetent, shit show, excuse my language, of an aftermath, so-called cleanup.
00:20:04.420And I'm going to show some pictures later of how clean it looks.
00:20:07.860Do you think they said, hold it, we better just stop now before we look even more stupid?
00:20:16.500It wasn't one mistake and that's not two mistakes.
00:20:19.360The Canadian Food Inspection Agency, I don't think has ever really been put under the microscope like this.
00:20:23.500They've operated with no accountability, no oversight.
00:20:28.540They don't follow their own code of conduct, their own policies.
00:20:32.520They've been caught many, many times by hundreds of people, not us, but hundreds of people that have decided to stay here and wanted to protect life.
00:20:42.380Images of them not wearing PPE, wearing PPE, not sanitizing the trucks, putting kill pen hay down in mud for police officers to drive on.
00:20:53.500There's just, the list goes on and on.
00:20:56.480Then that ends in a barbaric, barbaric shootout of our animals on November 6th and 7th that the world woke up.
00:21:06.460And I just do not think that they anticipated that this momentum from these big, beautiful, prehistoric birds with a small family in the middle of nowhere, 135 kilometers away from a major city, I don't think they anticipated that this would get to this size.
00:21:28.620Now, our international support is phenomenal.
00:21:32.680I want to thank you, everybody from across the world who continues to pour in your love and support.
00:21:38.300The ostriches became beacons of hope and they're going to remain beacons of hope.
00:21:44.400In their brutal death of the panic and fear and the trauma and the torment that those animals felt that night, they are going to change the world.
00:21:59.080And how, what I mean by that is that there's so many layers to this.
00:22:02.460How has Canadian Food Inspection Agency been able to do, get away with this stuff for so many decades?
00:22:12.760How does this, is this, you know, the national security risk that Angela Rasmussen said that we are?
00:22:18.020Well, maybe we need to investigate national security because I'm promising you that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, they are the ones that are responsible for putting anybody at risk, not us.
00:22:31.460We have a lot of, we have a lot of good momentum, but the November 6th, November 7th, the world woke up.
00:22:38.540The world woke up and people are, some people are just watching this for the first time.
00:22:42.840Uh, somebody, you know, mentions it to a neighbor, did you know what happened in Canada about the ostriches?
00:22:49.640And then they go online and there's some people watching that shooting for the very first time today.
00:22:55.200And they haven't had the, the 11 days that is today for our family, um, to try to absorb what has happened, try to understand that trauma and how we're going to have that for the rest of our life,
00:23:08.920but actually turn it into power and encourage, empower ourselves that today, Monday, uh, we're ready to put our armor back on and we're ready to, to fight for Canada, to continue to fight for Canada.
00:23:24.500And of course, one way she's doing that is to form it, the association called a voice for farmer.
00:23:34.900We'll be talking more about that as the days and weeks go on, but wanted to show you how to do your bit to support here.
00:23:54.500This one here, the ostrich and the maple leaf incorporation incorporated together has been a monumentally successful so far and encourage you to have a look at it by one, by many,
00:24:14.460and also buy some merchandise while you're in the store, other merchandise.
00:24:17.960We thank you, but all proceeds from these stickers will be going to Katie and Universal Ostrich Farm.
00:24:24.500And because why, because the cost of picking up the legal bill for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is going to be enormous,
00:26:31.760So we were non-compliant for not killing our own animals and our own healthy animals.
00:26:39.360And that means then that we could be on the hook for all of the police costs, the fencing, the super save, the bails that I've heard from a trucker that they bought in my name.
00:26:54.160And so, yeah, so we're getting a statement on that because nobody would touch it.
00:27:02.340And a truck driver said that he heard that Katie Pasitney was ordering bedding for the ostriches.
00:28:26.640That's, I don't know which or how many truckers reported this.
00:28:32.100But the fact that that's out there and the fact that the CFIA is continuing to talk about the farm being noncompliant suggests to me that they have got something evil going on here.
00:28:46.900And they probably expect the farm to pick up the expenses associated with this occupation.
00:28:55.860That, of course, the CFIA broke laws and regulations and rules throughout the entire course of that occupation.
00:29:03.500They were never stopped, never charged, never questioned, never fined.
00:29:10.280Now, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food has been discussing the CFIA and its role in agricultural planning.
00:29:25.840I just checked on their website today.
00:29:29.780God, I wish I had known about this sooner that the CFIA was a prominent part of this study.
00:29:35.620So this is ongoing, and I encourage Katie to offer her testimony, that of her mom, Karen Espersen, or Dave Belinsky.
00:29:46.120They should either go to Ottawa or, more likely, answer questions, give testimony remotely about how the CFIA planned their agriculture and their backyard.
00:29:58.360And how the CFIA was completely and utterly incompetent in the aftermath of the killing, in terms of so-called cleanup operations of what they maintained.
00:30:11.740Remember, they said it was a biohazard.
00:30:15.680They're the ones who insisted the ostriches were still sick.
00:30:19.560They're the ones who said that they were a biohazard.
00:30:21.820They're the ones who supervised a gong show with the RCMP, throwing hay here and there, all over the farm,
00:30:30.920but piling the carcasses of dead ostriches into bins onto trucks, overloading the trucks with the blood and the body fluids of these birds seeping through the bins.
00:30:57.840And a lot of this was done contrary to the law, but nobody has ever been questioned or charged about it.
00:31:04.820This is why we're encouraging organizations and individuals to rise up and say enough.
00:31:12.280And as I've been saying, this is not just a few journalists anymore who are talking about this, like myself or Viva Frye or Clayton and Natalie Morris on Redacted.
00:31:29.020Or, of course, Rebel News that did a hell of a good job documenting this.
