00:02:00.480
politics and chaos coming here in canada ladies and gentlemen uh a politician by the name of laurie
00:02:05.680
idlot idlot i think i am the correction correct me if i'm wrong ladies and gentlemen okay now
0.85
00:02:12.320
first before i start my little rant about floor crossing and especially about this mp crossing
00:02:18.620
the floor to join the liberal side of things because they've got better cookies apparently
0.95
00:02:22.940
i am not disenfranchising her because she's a female and i'm certainly not disenfranchising
00:02:29.820
her because she's first nations i'm disenfranchising every floor crosser we've had the past six months
1.00
00:02:36.720
okay because you're elected to represent your riding and that doesn't matter if you win your
00:02:43.640
riding by four votes 40 votes 400 votes or 4 000 votes you represent the people that voted for you
00:02:52.120
that's the idea between parliament in parliament not the person not the party but the constituents
00:02:59.680
and your country okay but the NDP the past 10 years especially since Mr. Mulcair left and when
00:03:07.360
Yagmeet Singh took over I've seen the NDP become activists more than I've seen them become
00:03:14.940
politicians or leaders they're definitely not Jack Layton they're definitely not Edward Mulcair
00:03:19.880
and they're definitely not fucking Ed Broadbent for some of you boomers out there who know what
00:03:24.020
I'm talking about okay now just for the record I am not disenfranchising her because she's a
0.86
00:03:30.560
female or because she's First Nations I'm disenfranchising because she is following
1.00
00:03:36.300
she's not leading anyway there's quite the story here that Rebel News has put together from Sheila
00:03:41.680
Gunn-Reed I will cue that up momentarily I'm just going to keep saying this over and over again
00:03:47.060
I believe in our democracy and I believe personally if you're part of a party and you're not happy
00:03:52.080
in that party then you must do something to help that party out because you got people who voted
00:03:58.740
you in there under the name of said party so you got to represent your constituents okay
0.95
00:04:04.900
shit simple how else do i sit i represented my constituents when i was a member of the
0.93
00:04:10.680
veterans coalition party okay i drew an interest and i had 177 votes i was pleased with that
0.96
00:04:25.040
I spent money on food, money that I earned, not donated,
00:04:29.360
to get out there and talk to people about pensions,
00:04:31.660
about cutting pay, about cutting budgetary things,
1.00
00:04:37.160
But now we've got a politician that crosses the floor
1.00
00:04:43.740
representing, I think, something like 40,000 people
00:04:53.840
What kind of representation do they get out of that, ladies and gentlemen?
00:05:07.060
But see, that just goes to show how every government in this country has ignored the North.
00:05:10.840
Doesn't matter if it's liberal or conservative or now the NDP.
00:05:16.100
Now, you see these individuals that have crossed the floor.
00:05:18.400
Michael Ha, of course, because he's in bed with China, that's obvious, and the Liberal Party's
0.70
00:05:23.620
in bed with China, okay? Michael Giroux, who left his Edmonton riding to go live in Victoria to be
00:05:31.660
closer to his wife, but then while he was there, he was going to leave politics, but he didn't leave
00:05:36.100
politics. Now he's a liberal, right? And now you've got Miss Laurie Idlut, who is leaving the NDP and
00:05:45.420
now become a liberal so they're praising the ground so Carney is picking and choosing offering
00:05:50.160
to build his majority government it's obvious it's self-explanatory it's got nothing to do
0.99
00:05:55.900
with the democratic right and staying up for Canadian sovereignty it's a quest for fucking
0.91
00:06:00.000
power that's all it is it's got nothing to do with looking after you I our friends down the road
0.96
00:06:06.820
our friends in Quebec our friends in Ontario our friends in Nova Scotia here in Alberta Manitoba
0.88
00:06:12.300
saskatchewan bc yellow knife northwest territories you fucking name it it keeps proving to the people
0.95
00:06:19.780
they just don't care right a sitting mp receives roughly about 200 000 bucks a year
0.97
00:06:28.800
just to be elected to sit in a bench and go just like in blazing saddles right
00:06:35.940
that's it and then to become a shadow minister or a critic there's a few more a few more pennies
1.00
00:06:44.480
in the packet right okay more cookies yay what a waste of fucking time so ladies and gentlemen
0.98
00:06:52.600
i am not disenfranchising her for being a female nor am i disenfranchising her for being first
0.99
00:06:57.180
nations but i'll disenfranchise every more any any more floor crosses out there that go think
00:07:02.940
they're going to get a better deal because that's what it comes down to in the bigger picture ladies
1.00
00:07:06.340
and gentlemen it comes down to the fact it's that how is it going to benefit me not your constituents
00:07:11.620
not the constituents that put you in that house of commons but how it's going to benefit you
00:07:16.800
okay now when the tough gets you know things get tough the tough get going right you're not tough
00:07:23.600
if you're following the likes of blarney carney you're not tough if you're following the likes
00:07:27.160
of the whole agenda you're tough if you persevere if you overcome and adapt
00:07:32.700
okay now how many politicians have we seen recently overcome and adapt honestly how many
00:07:42.480
not too goddamn many ladies and gentlemen not too many at all why because it's a trend right now
0.95
00:07:56.440
to constantly blame other people for your fallacies.
0.85
00:07:59.500
It's a trend right now to be an activist rather than a leader.
00:08:02.260
And it's a trend right now just to not take any responsibility
1.00
00:08:07.860
And that's what we're seeing, ladies and gentlemen.
00:08:09.800
So there was a rumor about them calling a federal election,
00:08:12.900
but I think Carney might just buy some more seats.
00:08:18.860
slap and tickle for the taxpayer's pickle.

00:09:30.240
so i'm going to queue up a video here i got from rebel media um you know sheila gun reed did a
1.00
00:09:35.760
great editorial on this and i won't play the whole thing i'll leave it in my descriptions for you to
00:09:39.280
follow at your own leisure ladies and gentlemen but i think you see the point here when it comes
0.95
00:09:43.980
to the buffoonery and the idiocy that we have in our canadian politics today now i'm not going to
0.99
00:09:50.660
dwell too much in the war in iran because uh war isn't sexy folks it's not i don't give a fuck what
0.98
00:09:56.620
you think about it or how you think um iran should have been dealt with a long time ago however what's
0.90
00:10:03.500
going on now doesn't really faze me nor impress me but i'm not here to win hearts and minds i'm
00:10:10.000
here just to get my words out there. So you, you wonderful people have a point of view other than
00:10:15.260
the mainstream media. Anyway, I'll cue this up. And you guys listen among yourselves. I'm going
00:10:20.180
to keep the captions up in case you have a hard of hearing, but adjust your volume accordingly,
00:10:24.260
ladies and gentlemen. Character. I'm going to advocate for NDP voters. I know. Their MP crossed
00:10:32.480
the floor and stole their votes to help Mark Carney get one step closer to his own stolen
00:10:36.440
majority. These people deserve a by-election. If you agree, go to fireidlout.com and sign the
00:10:45.080
petition. Like with any complicated issue, it wasn't just one thing that happened. There are
00:10:50.380
a variety of many things that have allowed me to really reflect on this, and I'm very thankful to
00:10:56.840
be so warmly welcome. Let's be clear about something. That seat in Parliament doesn't
00:11:03.780
belong to Lori Idlout. It belongs to the voters of Nunavut. They chose a new Democrat to represent
00:11:10.300
them in Ottawa. That was their voice. That was their say, their mandate in the House of Commons.
00:11:16.840
But with one sneaky political maneuver, that voice was handed over to Mark Carney's liberals
00:11:22.220
instead, without consultation or election or permission from the people who actually own
00:11:28.360
that seat, the voters. But there's an MP behind you that's talking about leaving the party. So
00:11:33.760
where does that leave you? Well, you know, I'm becoming increasingly concerned by the way that
00:11:39.560
Mr. Carney is trying to stitch together a majority government in this country. Once again, to us,
00:11:44.960
whether or not there's a majority government is fundamentally a decision of the Canadian people
00:11:48.900
at the ballot box. And it should happen that way, not through backroom deals,
00:11:54.340
cut behind closed doors in Ottawa. Do you blame her for moving the Liberals,
00:12:00.160
given the fact that you guys only have six seats,
00:12:03.560
I mean, won't the priorities of our constituents
00:12:12.020
C'est une décision profondément anti-democratique.
00:12:24.660
just two seats short of their majority government.
00:12:29.360
That's a major shift in the balance of power in Ottawa. And Canadians hate, hate this kind of political bait and switch.
00:12:38.320
It is a great pleasure. One of Canada's greatest constituency MPs. You represent a riding that is the size of Mexico, and very down-to-earth, and we've had conversations about what we can do, both large and small, in Nunavut. Large projects, but also helping everyone get ahead. So, all for Canada. Canada for all.
00:13:08.320
And see, there you have it, ladies and gentlemen.
00:13:14.700
There has been talks about updating certain infrastructures
00:13:20.320
Even today, Mr. Carney was talking about upgrading our military might
00:13:25.560
But my question is, with what troops, with what money,
00:13:30.360
you keep giving money away to foreign nations like India and Ukraine?
00:13:33.920
an angus reed poll just found that only 26 of canadians think mps should be allowed to switch
00:13:42.200
parties and keep their seat the largest group 41 say mps who cross the floor should resign and run
00:13:48.480
again in a by-election because voters understand something politicians pretend not to when you vote
00:13:54.980
you're not just voting for a person you're voting for a party you're voting for a platform a team
00:14:00.020
and a set of promises Nunavut voters didn't vote for Mark Carney's liberals but that's what they
00:14:05.600
got anyway and the timing here very suspicious because in the months leading up to Idlaut's
00:14:11.860
floor crossing the liberals suddenly started making a series of funding announcements aimed
00:14:16.540
at Nunavut on January 5th the federal government announced there you have it promises of Nunavut
00:14:39.420
for French language and second language education
00:14:57.620
Canada's housing minister recently said, though, too,
00:14:59.780
that it was going to be a hard time for Canadians to buy houses
00:15:09.100
Anyhow, ladies and gentlemen, I will leave this story in my description
00:15:11.820
for you wonderful people to follow at your own leisure.
00:15:21.720
it's a matter of you standing up for your principles and for your constituents and it
00:15:27.200
doesn't matter if you're ndp doesn't matter if you're liberal conservative they block or the
00:15:31.320
book of my shoe crew it doesn't fucking matter but every time you see the floor crossing every
0.91
00:15:37.600
time you hear about better deals it ends up becoming about the person not the party or the
0.94
00:16:10.740

00:17:04.180
this episode so a lot of floor crossing people saying they're traitors people are saying they're
0.85
00:17:09.260
idiots um i'm seeing a lot of footage on x on tiktok and instagram in regards to alberta
0.92
00:17:15.000
independence and what they are saying and the harassment they're getting from just regular
1.00
00:17:19.740
people too not groups of individuals or sjw's or woke individuals but just random people going
00:17:26.380
around disrupting their protest disrupting their signs disrupting their ability to go out and speak
00:17:32.940
their minds okay now i'm still on the fence when it comes to the separation that's just my personal
00:17:41.880
opinion but i can have sympathy towards the alberta separation more so than i can for le
00:17:49.800
quebec separation okay there's a reason for it because the resources in this country
0.94
00:17:57.720
quebec has the ability to produce its own natural gas if it decided to
00:18:02.620
well beyond the electric electricity they have provided for northern states and for part of
00:18:07.940
their country and for part of newfoundland labrador alberta provides a lot of oil there's enough oil
00:18:15.080
and natural gas in this province that can make us the equivalent to dubai on the north american
0.58
00:18:21.620
continent and it's not turtle fucking island people it's a continent cuba is an island jamaica
0.98
00:18:28.800
is an island north america is connected to south america via the panama canal still so it's not an
0.91
00:18:36.500
island get it so when it comes to the welfare of this nation when it comes to the economics
00:18:44.620
and the strength this country has we've got the resources and we've got the tools to bring it to
00:18:50.340
surface and we got the engineers and the people
00:18:53.220
sorry too many cigarettes we've got the people that can bring this to surface and bring it to
00:19:06.580
market however we've got too many laws and regulations that practically forbid it unless
00:19:12.240
a handful of people in the ottawa monopoly get their piece of the pie that's what it comes down
00:19:17.600
to i had a good talk with somebody today an actual professional in regards to certain issues
00:19:22.320
um you've heard me before ladies and gentlemen that you suffer from ptsd
00:19:27.240
and i had a really good conversation about uh politics and the way things have shifted and
00:19:34.460
moved in this country in the past 10 years i would say since probably more about until about 2012
00:19:40.020
how you can see a shift in things when it comes to immigration when it comes to social challenges
00:19:44.920
and changes uh when it comes to certain rights okay and uh there's a ex-school trustee in bc
00:19:53.780
who got fined 750 000 for stating that there's only men and there's only women
00:20:01.160
and i guess people didn't like him saying that so i'm gonna say this right now to the british
0.93
00:20:08.380
columbia human rights commission fuck you there are men and there are women and do any human rights
1.00
00:20:18.600
individuals out there who disagree with me talk with me about it contact me email me call me
0.98
00:20:27.860
make a comment here in my show this is my left hand this is my right hand
00:20:34.700
there are two unique tools that are part of the human body i can sit here all day and tell you
00:20:40.400
this is my my left hand when you're looking at it but it's not my left hand it's my right hand
00:20:45.300
right but i can tell you it's my left hand and if you don't agree with me i'm going to put you in
0.99
00:20:50.780
jail how would that go over pretty stupid eh that'd be pretty stupid if i did that to you
1.00
00:20:58.580
just like it's stupid to charge a man 750 000 for saying there's men and there's women
1.00
00:21:04.080
got a little secret for you you ready you ready there's men and there's women
0.99
00:21:12.180
multiple personalities multiple identities but there's men and there's women
00:21:19.320
there i said it oh no what's gonna happen oh i don't care if you're transitioning to either or
00:21:31.380
When you say you're non-binary, you're still acknowledging the binary.
0.51
00:21:40.660
If you ovulate and you bleed once a month, you're a female.
0.98
00:21:46.120
Men, if you get out of bed and you have something called more and glory,
00:21:48.720
you have a hard time bending over to do your morning business,
00:21:55.780
Now, I can't get into the whole scientific cell division,
00:21:58.860
but men are born xy women are born xx it's that simple it doesn't matter how they are in the womb
00:22:06.720
once you're born you're not assigned to gender you just are now when you become a grown adult
00:22:11.920
and you make a decision to live your life a certain way you go right ahead that's assuming
00:22:18.380
you're an adult enough you can make those decisions for yourself but if you don't then
00:22:23.740
maybe you should just wait out so bc human rights commission men and women men and women
00:22:32.100
men and women men and women no demi this no semi this no they them zur zeke or zock
00:22:40.240
he or she they two or more okay he or she they two or more not zur not zee not zonk
00:22:55.300
Well, I can go on for hours over the freaking pronouns people have used.
0.87
00:22:59.120
And if anyone's listening to this and you're offended, good.
0.85
00:23:04.360
then you're not mature enough to handle the real world.
00:23:08.440
Anyway, I'm not going to dwell on this anymore.
00:23:14.240
We're spending too much time worrying about feeling.
00:23:21.400
just making too much time dwelling on trying to be empathetic when you're really just promoting
0.98
00:23:27.380
activism you're not showing any kind of empathy you're just being an activist okay this crap here
0.94
00:23:33.060
with the floor crossing it's all about them it's just selfish attitudes ladies and gentlemen has
1.00
00:23:38.260
nothing to do with standing up for your constituents or standing up for the lesser or standing up for
00:23:42.920
the underdog you're only standing up for yourself and it's showing and mainstream media is all for
00:23:49.560
it. What do you think C9's been putting in place for? They don't care about Bible passages. They
00:23:55.440
just don't want you saying it. They don't care about your feelings. They just want you walking
00:24:01.240
and thinking a certain way. It's like 1984, ladies and gentlemen. We all read that in high school.
00:24:08.260
Some of my Gen Xers out there know exactly what I'm talking about. I've seen the old British 1984
0.99
00:24:13.240
film version, the old black and white, and I saw the John Hurt version in 1984.
00:24:22.680
My parents ran it on videocassette, and I watched it again.
00:24:29.580
Because last time I checked, 1984 was a book that's supposed to entertain you
00:24:40.460
People that sit in Ottawa today are doing the exact same thing.
00:24:44.500
What to say, when to say it, what to do with your money.
00:24:47.440
it's all about control this time we start fighting back ladies and gentlemen
00:24:52.160
