00:00:00.000 Charlie Angus is garbage. I don't care to engage in the logic of Charlie Angus or look into the 1.00
00:00:06.520 nuances of how he comes to the conclusions he does. Charlie Angus is just a human piece of garbage 1.00
00:00:11.360 because after the death of Sheila Lewis, the woman who had been denied an organ transplant for more 0.99
00:00:16.020 than a year because she wouldn't get the COVID-19 vaccine, for some reason Charlie Angus thinks this
00:00:21.040 is an amazing opportunity to both mock the woman and then try and go after Pierre Polyev for saying
00:00:26.720 that Roman Baber was doing the right thing by standing up for the dignity of Sheila Lewis.
00:00:31.700 Charlie Angus is one of those progressives who thinks that he's so much more tolerant than the
00:00:36.520 average person. Like, condolences to anyone who lives in Charlie Angus's riding. You deserve far
00:00:41.660 better than him. But this is what he put out on Twitter yesterday. He said, a woman died because
00:00:46.040 she preferred to fight for disinformation and anti-vax BS and conspiracy. Pierre Polyev says
00:00:51.040 she's a hero and supports a candidate so bogus that Doug Ford kicked him out. Now, we can all
00:00:55.960 disagree on vaccine issues, but Sheila Lewis is a hero. Sheila Lewis actually stood up for what she
00:01:01.680 believed in the face of arbitrary regulations put in front of her by Canadian medical boards and judges
00:01:06.720 and stuck it out. And while maybe not everyone would have made her choice, she deeply believed what
00:01:12.340 she did and she stood up for it. But Charlie Angus thinks her conviction is somehow mock-worthy and that
00:01:17.960 she's just someone fighting for disinformation and other sort of conspiracy theories. That's utterly,
00:01:23.180 that's utter garbage. And it's coming from a man who has no principle and has never had a basically a 1.00
00:01:28.600 real job in his entire life. Charlie Angus is a glorified HOA board trustee who's never left in
00:01:35.180 his life. He is no one that anyone should care anything about, but he just turned into a political
00:01:40.080 troll and the NDP's version of Mark Gerritsen. And this doesn't just stop at Charlie Angus, who,
00:01:45.820 again, I don't, I'm not going to even consider anything else he says other than because he is 1.00
00:01:49.660 garbage. I don't care about anything that Charlie Angus has to say, but this is something that for 0.97
00:01:54.520 some reason, the entire tolerant progressive left thinks is a great thing to jump on. I had this
00:01:59.380 exchange with this Alberta party shill, Steve Ricketts on Twitter, where he says, I thought the
00:02:04.220 right was all about personal responsibility and personal choice in, in response to Sheila Lewis dying.
00:02:09.580 And you can read the rest of that Twitter exchange on the screen right now. And it's like personal
00:02:13.500 choice. How is this a personal responsibility thing that she died because the Canadian like 1.00
00:02:19.280 medical regulatory system got in her way? Effectively, the liberal regulatory system 1.00
00:02:24.880 killed this woman. And now that's supposed to be a personal choice. That's how the left doesn't even
00:02:29.540 understand what personal choice is. They think personal choice is that you making choices and then
00:02:34.200 anyone being able to do whatever else they want to you in response to your choices. This is where the
00:02:38.540 left thinks that, well, you can say whatever you want, but it's your responsibility if I then kick the 0.98
00:02:43.000 crap out of you for disagreeing with you. That's their idea of what choice is that if you do not 0.95
00:02:48.580 get the COVID-19 vaccine, that it's entirely above board for the Canadian medical system to just
00:02:54.020 basically say, yeah, you didn't need the COVID-19 vaccine to make this a successful surgery. You
00:02:59.580 didn't need it to be able to recover properly, but whatever, we're just going to kill you effectively 0.99
00:03:04.160 because you would not comply with some nonsense, arbitrary barrier that we put in your way. 0.96
00:03:09.880 And even the way I find, what I find also really disgusting about the way that the legacy media is
00:03:14.600 covering this is just the way that they're headlining the story to try and put the blame
00:03:18.760 on Sheila Lewis for her death. This is what the global news put out, which is usually the bottom
00:03:23.840 of the barrel. So I didn't decide to really dig much deeper or grab any other screenshots because
00:03:27.840 they sort of took the cake right away. They said, Alberta woman who was denied organ transplant
00:03:32.300 after refusing COVID vaccine dies. That is such a disgusting framing of what actually happened.
00:03:37.700 She wasn't denied it because she refused to get the COVID-19 vaccine. She was denied healthcare
00:03:43.780 because of arbitrary rules. And while some may say, well, she could have gotten the vaccine and
00:03:49.380 then she could have gotten the organ transplant. She could have done that. And if she made the right
00:03:53.280 choices, she would still be alive today. That's not the point. You do not put in arbitrary regulations
00:03:59.640 in place and expect, well, if someone does all the right things that they'll get the organ
00:04:04.540 transplant at the end of the day, if you put in arbitrary barriers in the way of people,
00:04:08.940 you're going to find that certain people are unwilling on principle to go through those barriers.
00:04:13.260 And just because the barrier wouldn't stop you doesn't mean it's not a illegitimate barrier.
00:04:18.460 And the other sort of thing, the other sort of thing I can't stand is the shmarmy way people talk
00:04:23.660 about this very tragic situation as if it's just one of those things where it's like, oh,
00:04:28.600 you just didn't think it through enough. Like this, like Max Fawcett saying,
00:04:32.620 conservatives calling doctors glorified plumbers and then suggesting they shouldn't be making the
00:04:36.800 decisions about organ transplants says it all. Really? The implication being, well, if you don't
00:04:42.220 think that they should be able to deny Sheila Lewis her organ transplant, are you saying that
00:04:49.040 doctors shouldn't be able to make any decisions for themselves or any medical decisions? No, Max,
00:04:54.540 shut up. Everyone understands that the doctor should be able to make some decisions and be able to 0.98
00:05:00.220 like, you know, bar someone who's an alcoholic who refuses to get or to actually recover from
00:05:05.300 getting like a liver transplant. Obviously, everyone understands something like that.
00:05:08.900 But stop using this kind of dumb, like cherry picking way of viewing the world in order to 1.00
00:05:14.400 pretend that this woman's death wasn't actually wasn't eminently preventable by not having stupid 1.00
00:05:19.420 regulations on the book. Just be like, oh, well, doc, are you saying that doctors shouldn't be able to 0.97
00:05:24.800 make decisions? Obviously, no. Shut up. Obviously, no. People just don't want people dying because they
00:05:30.800 didn't jump through an arbitrary hoop. And you can say, well, it's an easy arbitrary hoop to jump
00:05:34.620 through. Shut up. We shouldn't have arbitrary hoops to begin with. This is what is so disgusting about 1.00
00:05:40.120 the progressive left these days is this just kind of like this kind of whining whenever you don't use 0.97
00:05:45.860 like the pronouns they like or you don't comply with dumb sort of speech regulations they use in their 0.88
00:05:51.200 institutions and whatnot. That becomes a riot. If you don't if you don't do something that doesn't 0.55
00:05:56.360 even affect anyone else, that doesn't actually hurt anyone else if you refuse to comply. But when
00:06:01.580 someone makes a choice for themselves, that effectively doesn't really matter, especially
00:06:05.600 these days. It's 2023. Who cares if someone is vaccinated or not? When someone makes that decision
00:06:10.660 for themselves? Well, now it's fine for the entire system to collude against that person to make sure that
00:06:15.980 they die early because they wouldn't do something that wouldn't have affected the outcome of the
00:06:21.180 surgery she was seeking. It's stupid. Like I know some people point out, well, you well, like 1.00
00:06:26.960 sometimes if you go through procedures like this, your immune system falls a lot. So they want to
00:06:30.860 make sure that you do things so that you're healthy. Obviously, COVID is not nearly as big a factor
00:06:35.480 these days. And if we're going by that logic that if you have if you have missed any vaccines in your
00:06:40.320 life, if you're not entirely 100% healthy, everyone would get denied. Everyone would get denied a
00:06:45.720 surgery outside of like Olympic athletes. It's stupid. But anyways, I think that conservatives 1.00
00:06:50.960 really need to like, you really need to make the left sort of face this kind of position they've
00:06:56.460 taken and really drive it home how intolerant the supposedly tolerant left is. These people do not
00:07:02.960 care about the lives of Canadians. They just care about the ability to control institutions in Canada.
00:07:09.800 They did like that's where like, like Steve Ricketts is a perfect example. He thinks it's,
00:07:14.280 it's normal, like personal choice, or it's like, it's just personal choice at the end of the day,
00:07:19.040 for the medical system to just deny someone like an organ transplant that they need to live. Like
00:07:24.400 Sheila, Sheila Lewis, even though you don't have to agree with everything she believes or everything,
00:07:29.040 every decision she makes, but she absolutely is a hero. And she stood up for Canadian constitutional
00:07:33.700 rights. And too bad the system got in her way and prevented her from being able 0.97
00:07:37.680 to get the medical treatments that she deserved. Anyways, that's it for today. I have my link to
00:07:43.460 my legal fundraiser in the link below my gifts and go. I'm being sued by a Chinese billionaire 0.97
00:07:47.920 already paid $15,000 into defending myself. I also have the TNT email list down there. You could sign
00:07:53.200 up to get the National Telegraph's content straight to her email box. But that's it for me. This really
00:07:58.020 ticked me off.
