Day 28 of the Freedom Convoy trial in which Tamara Leach and Chris Barber are on trial for conspiracy to commit mischief, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and criminal mischief. The charges against them were brought by the Canadian government.
00:02:40.200And let me tell you, after 28 days, 28 days, the prosecution has utterly failed to demonstrate that either of these two did anything except encourage people to peacefully protest, to cooperate with the police, to not disturb the residents of Ottawa.
00:03:02.500And these were the videos the prosecution were playing over and over and over again.
00:03:08.140So they arrested their case last week.
00:03:10.800After about a three-week hiatus, we're back again on Monday today.
00:03:46.020But thank God, you know, they are getting support from Canadians like you and I, who are willing to say, these people stuck their necks out for Canada to fight these ridiculous COVID-19 mandates, these authoritarian COVID-19 mandates.
00:05:10.620Because one of the things that brings us together is music, you know.
00:05:14.380And it just seems so fitting to me that after the unity that we saw happen in Ottawa, you know, that we can come together and do something like this and celebrate together.
00:05:24.780And it's another just part of me that I get to share with you.
00:05:28.120So definitely have to say a big thank you to Daniel and Giacomo and New World Sun who we get to play with tonight.
00:06:17.500And of course, before I go any further, there's a couple people in the audience that I definitely need to acknowledge tonight that were with us on the ground in Ottawa.
00:06:29.040And of course, you know, we didn't really know what to expect when we got there.
00:06:33.140However, I knew or felt, you know, as these donations were coming in and it was like a million dollars.
00:06:42.740And the next day they're like, bump it, it's another million dollars.
00:07:18.020I think, I think the number that I was told was there's approximately 138,000 lawyers in Ottawa, or sorry, in all of Canada.
00:07:29.460And we had a couple of the best ones that showed up in Ottawa with us, stood beside us on the ground.
00:07:36.500And the reason I bring up the millions is because, you know, I'm thinking this is great.
00:07:40.340But every time I have to bump it up, I'd get a little bit sicker because I thought, when you start talking about millions of dollars, lawyers are coming.
00:12:11.080He's always talking about the reset and the opportunity a crisis affords him to divide Canadians so the Liberal Party can take over and keep and retain power.
00:12:31.220But I tell you, the Freedom Convoy trial is illustrating how bad the case against Tamara Leach and Chris Barber actually is.
00:12:45.600And I will be there to continue to report on the trial as it unfolds.
00:12:50.260I don't care how long they want to continue this.
00:12:52.440But today there was, they were talking about the Carter application.
00:12:58.860And unless you're a legal analyst, a legal expert, it's not terribly interesting to most viewers and readers.
00:13:06.800Because what the defense is trying to prove is that the prosecution cannot make Tamara and Chris one body, that they acted in unison, that they acted together, that they weren't independent personalities.
00:13:26.220That's at the root of the Carter application in what the defense is trying to prove here.
00:13:32.600That there was no conspiracy, that they cannot be said to have acted in tandem every time one of them spoke.
00:13:40.560And that's what the prosecution, one of the arguments the prosecution is using to prove that they committed mischief and they counseled to commit mischief.
00:13:49.720The whole case, of course, is just falling apart every time this trial proceeds.
00:14:05.020We're expecting, actually, an official announcement from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith that she is going to use the Alberta Sovereignty Act to stymie the federal government's insane dictate for net zero electricity.
00:14:25.420Because Alberta doesn't have hydroelectricity.
00:14:28.420They don't have the kind of water that Quebec and Ontario has.
00:14:34.400So they cannot rely on hydroelectricity.
00:14:43.760And our people are going to be cost-paying so much money to heat their homes in the winter, or they're going to be freezing because of Ottawa's discriminatory policies.
00:14:54.600So, expect Danielle Smith to invoke the Alberta Sovereignty Act, which says we have provincial rights and to hell with federal usurpation of those rights.
00:15:12.780And we're going to make sure that we assert that.
00:15:17.760Now, she's talking about Stephen Gilbeau, of course.
00:15:20.900And I told you last week how Stephen Gilbeau is going to the United Nations for a treaty to ban single-use plastics.
00:15:32.720Because the federal court in Canada overruled Trudeau's single-use plastics policy, the cabinet order that came out banning all single-use plastics.
00:15:42.180The federal court said that was unreasonable and unconstitutional.
00:15:46.740But Gilbeau, if left to his own devices, will ride roughshod over your constitutional rights and provincial rights because he ignores any decisions from courts he doesn't like.
00:15:57.860And he is basically still a Greenpeace activist, calling himself a proud socialist.
00:18:19.240But more importantly, I need your financial support.
00:18:23.720I hate to ask, but that's what I'm doing.
00:18:26.160Look, I made a decision to pursue independent media because I believe it was the best possible route for me to take as a journalist and as a concerned citizen of Canada.
