00:04:00.000 hello everybody welcome to shadow at night this is tuesday august the 20th 2024 on the show tonight

00:04:14.880 kens lee and drysdale to talk about the latest in the ongoing saga of the winnipeg metropolitan

00:04:20.640 region plan 2050 to implement a complete city a smart city a 15-minute city into winnipeg and

00:04:27.760 the surrounding areas and of course i've been telling you this for the past couple of weeks

00:04:32.040 now if you guys live in any kind of city or town or municipality basically if you don't live

00:04:39.380 somewhere off in the bush you are going to be exposed to this at some point and i believe that

00:04:44.120 their agenda is accelerating in the last month or so we've been hearing more and more about 15

00:04:52.140 minute cities popping up all across canada i believe that the uk and canada and possibly

00:04:56.920 Australia are their target projects. Once they get the 15 minute cities established in those

00:05:02.800 three countries, they're going to roll them out all over the place under the guise of possibly

00:05:06.940 another pandemic. But that's just me opining here. I don't really have any facts to verify that. And

00:05:12.480 whenever I do that, I want you guys to know that that is only my opinion. It's just based in things

00:05:18.700 that I've been seeing going on from watching other media sources and following the information as

00:05:24.740 closely as i possibly can ken and ken will join the show in just a second it's brought to you by

00:07:43.460 bring more eyeballs and more ears into what we are trying to do which is get the information out

00:07:48.760 bring more people in information out people in that's what we've been doing for four years here

00:07:56.720 on the shadow at night live stream now listen before we uh bring on the two kens that should

00:08:02.860 be a touring act by the way i i want to play a video for you this is from concerned citizen on

00:08:11.060 x and concerned citizens says 15 minute cities are go this used to be in the video

00:08:17.700 a multi-road now it's just bike lanes have you noticed a lot of that popping up in your city

00:08:23.580 or town it's happening in winnipeg the uk along with canada oh he says it too are the first

00:08:29.040 countries to embrace the world economic forum 15 minute city concept this is leeds this is what we

00:08:34.820 talked about over a year ago leads no cars and video surveillance everywhere of course you might

00:08:41.560 think this is okay in the center of town problem is that it expands the plans for oxford involve

00:08:47.800 13 different districts and a set number of permissible times residents can leave their

00:08:52.400 district every year the same thing we understand is being rolled out in edmonton right now even

00:08:58.380 though they've written into the legislation the civic legislation that they'll let you travel

00:09:03.560 it's just how you travel they have a problem with then concerned citizen says you give up your cars

00:09:10.880 it's not a coincidence the roads in britain are soon becoming almost impossible to drive

00:09:15.360 let's have a look at this video here this used to be a double road and they've extended the

00:09:21.020 paths and taken it down to single traffic that's a one-way traffic if you look they've changed all

00:09:27.380 the traffic lights and there's cameras on every uh top of the traffic lights they face downwards

00:09:32.680 as well so they capture your face there's also these black type scanners don't know what that's

00:09:38.440 for and so i'm just showing you coming up to the end of the road and again on top of the lamp posts

00:09:43.240 every lamp post has got the cameras and again they face forward and down they have scanners on them

00:09:50.040 and so they capture people as they cross the road their faces and these are all the new bike lanes

00:09:56.920 these used to be roads and they've taken all the roads out kept one road but this used to be a

00:10:02.800 multi-road and they've taken it all out put bike lanes in they've done this everywhere throughout

00:10:08.040 Leeds but this is just the city centre they're still working on this part over there they're

00:10:12.660 making it pedestrian only so they took all the roads out and all the main loop system that would

00:10:18.300 go around the city centre so we're just coming to the end here now and if you look on top of the

00:10:23.420 lampposts again every lamppost every crossing has these cameras and and they face downwards

00:10:29.360 across they're basically capturing all faces and in the direction that pedestrians

00:10:34.540 kind of abruptly ends i wonder if that had anything to do with a sudden internet outage

00:10:43.960 as she was filming hello ken how are you wonderful good to see you good to see you as well hello ken

00:10:52.180 how are you i'm very well thank you let's talk about the 15-minute city concept that the winnipeg

00:11:00.680 metropolitan region denies is a 15-minute city concept first ken drysdale you've been doing a

00:11:06.840 lot of work i know you had a meeting you guys last night a zoom call to discuss everything that's

00:11:11.380 going on and without naming names we've got some pretty upset big power players behind the scenes

00:11:17.780 who are going to be bringing this to their municipal councils, you can bet.

00:11:21.680 But let's go to the Manitoba Stronger Together website right here,

00:11:25.080 which has been designed by Ken Drysdale.

00:11:27.800 And you go into great detail here, Ken, about the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region Plan 2050,

00:11:33.840 and you give all the pertinent links.

00:11:35.580 Can you explain this, please?

00:11:37.940 Well, you know, this isn't just about the Manitoba Metropolitan Region Plan 2050.

00:11:43.720 Somebody can read the plan, and they miss out a lot of what else is involved here.

00:11:49.900 So on this webpage, if you start to roll down, right at the very beginning, we give a whole bunch of documents that people can download or read for themselves.

00:11:58.620 It's just underneath, keep going past the table of contents on this.

00:12:02.080 There we go, reference documents.

00:12:03.320 So you can see that there's the Winnipeg Municipal Region, the WMR Plan 2050, but there's also the City of Winnipeg Transportation Master Plan, the City of Winnipeg Planning Amendment and the City Charter Amendment.

00:12:19.080 Those are probably, Ken Lee, those are probably the three biggest parts of this that people need to read, and they need to read them together, because the Winnipeg Municipal Region Operational Procedures Plan tells folks how this organization is going to act.

00:12:38.960 and it's and it's very interesting how they vote on things because essentially the city of

00:12:44.840 winnipeg has veto power over all of the 17 or 18 municipalities including the city of winnipeg

00:12:51.940 in this thing and then the plan itself it's it's actually really interesting it starts off

00:12:58.020 right in the preamble about how it's embraced the united nations sustainable development

00:13:03.600 philosophy and and that in and of itself if people read it isn't is incredible so

00:13:09.660 again there's a lot of reading and i tried to break it down in this um in this uh web page

00:13:16.560 that we've got on manitoba stronger together but those are the key documents that folks need to

00:13:21.460 download get in their hands and start reading through them uh and again if you go back up a

00:13:28.080 little bit to the table of contents it'll give people a good idea of what we've got here there

00:13:31.920 we go this is an interactive table of contents so we give you the reference documents we get

00:13:37.420 tell you what the w the winnipeg metropolitan region is we talk about the planning act which

00:13:43.220 was the instigating document for this we compare the original goals of the planning act because

00:13:50.000 when they started this thing it was actually i think it was ken lee will correct me but it was

00:13:54.200 really gary doer that instigated this thing and then it went pc government ndp pc ndp um so they

00:14:01.180 were all in this and if you look at the original goals of the planning act stated back 10 years ago

00:14:06.940 and look at where it's gone now um i don't know how else to describe it but to say it's gone woke

00:14:12.820 you know it went off of where it was supposed to be going you know we want to talk about fixing

00:14:18.480 roads we want to talk about increase uh bettering our infrastructure and instead we're talking about

00:14:24.060 un sustainability goals that are coming out of geneva and we're talking about equity and

00:14:30.060 inclusion and all these kinds of things that have nothing to do with the roads falling apart

00:14:34.060 all across our province. And in any case, and you can go down here and you can, again,

00:14:39.040 all of these items that you see, they're interactive. You can click on it and it will

00:14:42.640 take you to the spot in the webpage and it gives you a discussion and a factual presentation of

00:14:49.980 what's going on. Lack of transparency is, is one of the big ones that people are talking about.

00:14:55.820 Ken Lee, you were about to jump in there. Yeah. I was just going to say, you know,

00:14:59.540 when I look at the fantastic work that Mr. Drysdale did,

00:15:03.960 putting this webpage together,

00:15:06.620 and when you think that what they're trying to push through right now

00:15:10.020 with the plan 2050,

00:15:12.420 and also we can't forget the city transportation plan

00:15:15.320 because we compared them and they're pretty, very, very similar.

00:15:19.940 But wouldn't it have made sense

00:15:22.200 if for one of the most monumental changes

00:15:25.020 they are going to make in our life, our everyday life,

00:15:28.220 and never mind our everyday life for our children our grandchildren that the wmr did not have a page

00:15:36.160 like yours with all these documents and all the support instead they put out a plan which is so

00:15:42.320 vague difficult to follow and on their faq page they go say well just go read just go read the

00:15:48.480 plan because you got this information well you read the plan and like ken points out

00:15:52.820 you can't understand it they have a glossary of terms in there so you can understand all the new

00:15:57.580 words they've developed they've created and new definitions they've created it's really it's really

00:16:03.180 so outrageous I mean that's the word I guess to use is that that Mr. Dreisel can put together

00:16:10.720 a web page that's interactive makes it easy to get around you can ask questions you can use AI

00:16:17.560 you can do all these things and get your answers so right now we're we're the ones that have to

00:16:22.980 give the answers now thankfully you know we have a web page now that's going to able to be able to

00:16:28.320 produce you know questions or answers that people are looking for well wait on hold on just a second

00:16:33.720 here ken uh you know we we are giving out answers but they're giving out answers as well because

00:16:41.840 what they've been doing for the past week or so is uh rolling out that executive director i forget

00:16:47.480 her name right now but apparently she's kind of new at this and she's been saying well no no nobody

00:16:55.100 needs to worry about anything that's the line that's jennifer freeman right it's interesting

00:17:02.380 just a little insert there we talked to her and and the niverville uh meeting before you know

00:17:09.420 before it was canceled and in her words and i'll quote her uh well i can't quote her exactly but

00:17:15.020 what she said to us was that she didn't know what a 15 minute city was never heard of it before

00:17:20.580 didn't know why people were so upset with this this is what their executive director were telling

00:17:24.680 people at the neverville meeting and yet they've got all of this stuff on their faq page yeah well

00:17:30.480 the number one question here why should i care about the winnipeg metropolitan region no matter

00:17:36.180 where we live we share the same challenges and want the same things no we don't we don't

00:17:43.200 no that is communist speak that is everybody being equal right we all want the same things

00:17:52.020 we all share the same challenges no matter where we live that's nothing but a pile of crap so that

00:17:57.500 that doesn't start off too well we want good jobs we want to grow old in our own communities maybe

00:18:03.680 maybe not we want the water we drink to be clean you mean it's dirty now

00:18:09.600 we want our kids to stay here we want our grandchildren to be raised here now imagine

00:18:15.580 if we could have that together the mayors and reeves of 18 municipalities in the capital region

00:18:20.680 want that too well not necessarily how many of them are are starting to make noise about pulling

00:18:25.680 out of this thing if they can or at least taking it to the province and seeing what the province

00:18:29.320 says so for 26 years they've been trying to figure out how to work together as the winnipeg

00:18:35.320 what well you know we're only just hearing about it now wait a minute just a second there's more

00:18:40.260 there's more there's more i want to finish this off because it's hilarious on a roll uh why do

00:18:45.240 we need plan 2050 well there's many reasons but one of the big ones is that cities towns and

00:18:50.080 municipalities are losing money planning the way we are right now this is wait what how no

00:18:56.800 explanation this is wasting taxpayer dollars for example companies who are looking to expand or

00:19:02.300 create new businesses are overlooking the region because we don't have a plan to work together

00:19:06.620 so they're going to edmonton calgary quebec and halifax because of that hey wait a minute stone

00:19:12.060 wall doesn't have a plan to work with neverville or heading lear springfield i'm out that is

00:19:19.580 absolutely outrageous and then they go on to say this which is a bald-faced lie under number four

00:19:27.180 Does my local mayor, Reeve, and council still have the authority on what goes on in my community?

00:19:33.680 Absolutely.

00:19:35.740 Now, they have a better way to talk with your neighboring municipality about common challenges

00:19:41.420 so they can work together, save money, and stretch tax dollars further.

00:19:45.100 You guys know that that's not true.

00:19:47.700 You guys know that once this plan is in place,

00:19:51.640 than all of these mayors, Reeves, and councillors

00:19:54.740 are beholden to the board of the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region.

00:19:58.420 They can't even dig a hole unless they get permission from the WMR, right?

00:20:02.200 Well, it's worse than that because, you know, it is funny,

00:20:06.240 but people are scolding themselves now saying,

00:20:08.740 can't figure out why they didn't know about this

00:20:10.920 and how they didn't know what was happening.

00:20:13.720 And I can tell you I've talked to a number of council members

00:20:16.240 and they had no idea what was going on here.

00:20:18.900 And I spoke to one of the council members and one of the RMs a couple of days ago, and they told me that, well, you know, there's 18 members on this board and we all get a vote.

00:20:29.160 And that's true.

00:20:30.160 But the second part of that is when they need to vote on anything, when you read the procedures, it's item 21 called voting.

00:20:40.020 So whenever they have to make a decision on something, all 18 get to cast a vote.

00:20:43.960 and let's say that 17 cast a vote for something the next part of the test so that's a majority

00:20:52.080 of the director 17 to 1 right but then the next part of the test is those 17 people who voted

00:20:58.340 for whatever it was have to represent more than 50 percent of the people in the entire region

00:21:04.140 and guess what the city of Winnipeg has 86 percent of the population of the region in other words

00:21:11.020 nothing gets passed unless the city of winnipeg agrees to it so they're the king now they're the

00:21:17.640 they're that they can veto anything you know i i live in the rural municipality of st clements

00:21:22.060 our our our rural municipality doesn't even go down as far to touch winnipeg and yet the city

00:21:27.780 of winnipeg is going to be dictating planning in in in grand marae i mean it's insane and the

00:21:34.800 counselors didn't even realize that until we started bringing that to their detention how

00:21:40.020 was their reaction when you told them that that was in the plan were they shocked or like what

00:21:45.360 was the look on their face i'll tell you what i i was asked several times and i uh to prove it and

00:21:52.320 i did and i sent a you know how i am i sent a very detailed explanation with with the scenario

00:21:57.420 and everything in it and uh it was actually the counselor spouse that came up came back to me

00:22:03.840 responded and said do you mean to say it means this and i go yeah and we never heard that from

00:22:11.600 the counselor oh i wonder if there's conversation going on between council members now because

00:22:20.000 ken lee as you were talking about before and not that long ago because we've only just recently

00:22:25.520 found out about this and i'm sure there's people who are watching this right now and finding out

00:22:29.840 about this plan 2050 for the very first time what is this plan 2050 what's going on uh they were

00:22:35.360 sworn to secrecy the members of the board of the winnipeg metropolitan region were sworn to secrecy

00:22:41.760 not supposed to talk about any of the goings-on on the board with any of their local council members

00:22:48.640 or even their spouses i mean well that's just an extrapolation but who knows and more importantly

00:22:54.400 not any of the electorate and they doubled down on that shadow yesterday the wmr had a meeting on

00:23:01.600 monday and then they had a press release and they doubled down on advising or reminding all the

00:23:07.840 counselors that they are not allowed to speak to anyone about the plan 2050 until a second reading

00:23:17.000 is completed yeah so they doubled down they have another press release came out yesterday

00:23:21.880 like they're so worried that people might find out what's going on like it's it's absolutely

00:23:27.620 incredible i mean it's so so wait a minute hold on so these guys go on tv and lie

00:23:33.820 they're nothing to worry about they they write a frequently asked questions list that's nothing

00:23:38.860 but a pile of bs and then they're prohibited from talking about any of this with anybody

00:23:45.680 wow that's great yeah there was a there was a statement come out from uh mayor chris ewan

00:23:52.640 from the municipality of risho today and he says i've got it on my screen and what he says in his

00:23:59.580 letter and it's addressed to the premier today i received a statement from the wmr again this is

00:24:05.320 the mayor of the municipality risho today i received a statement from the wmr and wmr which

00:24:11.240 indicated board members are not to communicate with their rate payers in an effort to maintain

00:24:16.780 the public hearing due process. I don't know how not communicating is supporting the public hearing.

00:24:23.580 And then he says more than ever, it is now critical to answer the questions to the community members

00:24:28.560 when a change that will affect over a million people is about to happen. So that's from the

00:24:33.640 mayor of the municipality, Rizzo, and I think it just came out today. Yeah, we were in contact with

00:24:40.440 him today on another matter but that's unbelievable and that's great that he came out and said

00:24:44.100 something finally so reshow is neverville also right or am i wrong on that one separate it's a

00:24:52.440 it's a town within the region but it's their own separate vote they have their own separate director

00:24:58.300 okay so how many of the municipalities and towns who are involved in this have now spoken out

00:25:05.140 against this plan i i last i heard there was five are there more now okay so i'll right now we have

00:25:11.920 headingley selkirk neverville east saint paul saint andrews for sure those five have made

00:25:18.540 statements public statements we think that donatar has also had something on their website where

00:25:25.980 they're not in favor of it well they're up near gimli aren't they donates are like they're they're

00:25:31.440 We're up near Gimli, like Clandoboy.

00:25:33.980 Yeah, and Shadow, in addition to that, someone sent me the vote on the first reading.

00:25:41.400 On the first reading, we were initially told by Mike Moore that the vote was 16 to 2 in favor of the plan.

00:25:51.980 I got the minutes, and it actually was 15 to 4, and two of the people who voted against it are not on our list of six,

00:26:00.700 and they are Taché and West St. Paul.

00:26:05.980 So unless West St. Paul and Taché

00:26:07.940 have changed their minds since the first reading,

00:26:10.500 then they would be also included with the six.

00:26:13.500 So they would have eight at this point,

00:26:16.240 which is getting closer to critical mass, I think.

00:26:18.820 So yeah, like eight of the 18 would be good.

00:26:22.760 I'd love all of them to step up and say,

00:26:24.680 wait a minute, hold on.

00:26:25.720 But there might be some other circumstances in play here.

00:26:29.120 which one of you guys wants to uh and now we don't have marty gold coming on tonight marty has been

00:26:35.500 digging deeply into this situation but what is john q who wants to take that one i'll take it

00:26:43.200 if you don't want it drysdale got this smile on his face like i don't know you set me up there

00:26:50.640 show i'd like to say is what's been happening i think because of your show and because of the

00:26:56.680 winnipeg sun and marty that there's way more information out there now than there was to say

00:27:00.800 10 days ago and as a result of that we're getting a lot of more awareness and i won't call them

00:27:08.160 whistleblowers but people are calling and they're asking questions they're going like have you heard

00:27:12.240 of this like why is there a sign on the daycare center in saint adult that says uh john q built

00:27:20.920 another project by john q built so people are noticing things and they're calling you're going

00:27:26.060 like what's this all about like what what does john q built have to do with building a daycare

00:27:30.880 center so people are are waking up and the problem that we have and trying to communicate to them is

00:27:39.140 it's such a convoluted uh process and then a convoluted set of actors that are involved in

00:27:45.980 this entire process that it's it's hard to really explain it and i tried to explain it last night at

00:27:52.360 our little meeting there and i was every time i thought of something well what about this what

00:27:56.680 about this i kind of got kind of bamboozled a bit there but uh i wrote i made some notes today um

00:28:05.160 so they've they've been around for quite a while uh the winnipeg metropolitan region

00:28:12.680 was first set up and then at some point in time i don't have the dateline exactly right yet or

00:28:18.360 that don't know it yet they created hold on just a second can't dinner sorry to interrupt you

00:28:22.840 because i know you've got notes you're going off here but just put your finger where you were on

00:28:26.600 the page yeah it's okay we we don't have everything yet on all of this right no last last night i

00:28:36.360 mentioned to folks that we were going to be able to give them a little bit tonight we're not going

00:28:40.200 to be naming names we're not going to talk about exactly what's been going on but i did intimate

00:28:45.560 some shady backdoor dealings may be going on and when i said that what i said was you know it's

00:28:53.400 amazing to me that there's so many people out there who absolutely refuse to believe it they'd

00:28:58.840 never do that even after everything we've seen in the past four years and the movies we watched

00:29:04.360 that one with denzel washington and ethan hawk uh where he plays the bad cop and all the cops

00:29:09.960 are bad they're all on the take they're all selling drugs there and ethan hawk's the new

00:29:13.720 kid he's the only good one he doesn't want to do it so they got to kill him because being the good

00:29:18.200 guy makes you the bad guy right so i think that they're all and there's a way to go ahead and

00:29:26.040 check this and you've been doing that ken lee in the last couple of days and this may affect the

00:29:32.760 votes on the wmr this john q board because it's a lot of the same people on the the board of this

00:29:38.520 company that are on the board of the winnipeg metropolitan region right right so when this thing

00:29:45.160 when this thing was born it was started so it was an offshoot it was created by the winnipeg

00:29:50.480 metropolitan region and it's a separate organization and when the press release came out

00:29:56.560 advising the public which you know i never saw it when it came out but it said something about

00:30:02.680 that this group would be accountable

00:30:05.800 through the elected officials

00:30:07.480 who are on the board of directors.

00:30:09.760 But they're not accountable to anybody.

00:30:12.440 They are directors of a private corporation

00:30:15.300 no different than the WMR board.

00:30:18.640 And none of them are really accountable

00:30:19.920 to their own constituents

00:30:21.600 because they never go back to them and say,

00:30:23.940 okay, we made this decision today at the board table

00:30:26.040 and our group has to vote on it.

00:30:29.940 And depending on our vote,

00:30:30.760 I'll take that back to the WNR and we can make a decision for the all 18.

00:30:37.060 So, sorry.

00:30:45.300 So, Ken, just let me step in here.

00:30:48.020 So, John Q. Public, is that a corporation that is owned or instigated by the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region Board?

00:30:59.840 I'm not sure if it's a corporation or just a division of,

00:31:03.560 but it's definitely related.

00:31:06.140 And we're trying to find out.

00:31:10.000 I don't think it ever talks about it being incorporated.

00:31:12.860 Okay, but it's on the board of directors.

00:31:15.140 There's various people who are mayors or reeves in municipalities,

00:31:19.260 and they're on the board of directors of the WMR.

00:31:23.220 Is that correct?

00:31:24.520 Yeah, so they're on both boards.

00:31:25.800 So there's about 11 or 12 of them that are on both boards.

00:31:29.220 So the chairman of John Q is, if you just go down the page, you'll see the chairman there is Brad Earp.

00:31:37.540 So he's the Reeve of McDonnell.

00:31:42.480 So the others are all on both boards, with the exception of Portage of Prairie.

00:31:47.920 So Portage of Prairie shows up as a member of John Q Public.

00:31:52.560 They're not in the municipal region.

00:31:55.140 I'm just going to jump in and just ask if you, because you've got Brad Earp on there.

00:31:58.860 he's on this board he's the reeve of the rm and mcdonald right yeah you know he got zero votes

00:32:05.220 he was acclaimed he never stood he he he got in as a matter of fact eight of the directors on the

00:32:13.080 winnipeg metropolitan region board you know they're they're all supposed to be made up of

00:32:17.220 mayors and reeves of all the municipalities eight of this of the 18 were all elected by acclamation

00:32:24.320 They never received a single vote to become mayor or Reeve.

00:32:28.140 The sad thing about that is that we have more to do with that than they do, because we just have this apathy when it comes to voting locally, which we shouldn't, because it's the most important level of government.

00:32:41.460 These are the ones that can most affect our day-to-day lives, right?

00:32:45.520 You're absolutely right.

00:32:46.980 And as you're paging down, Wes Taplin, he's the Reeve of the RM of Rockwood.

00:32:51.320 Zero votes.

00:32:52.640 If you page up again, the mayor of St. Clement's, zero votes.

00:32:58.760 These people were all in Debbie Fibble Corn, who I've been trying to get a hold of because she's my mayor, by the way, but she's ignoring all my emails. 0.89

00:33:06.560 But she was elected through acclamation. 0.99

00:33:08.620 In other words, nobody voted for her.

00:33:10.760 Who are these people who are directors at large?

00:33:13.160 Who's appointing them?

00:33:14.260 Like the board members of the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region are appointing Scott Corbert and Jim Campbell.

00:33:21.140 Who are they?

00:33:22.520 That's a good question.

00:33:23.480 I haven't been able to find that out.

00:33:24.800 I prefer who they are at this point.

00:33:27.000 So I don't know who appointed them.

00:33:29.360 So what is this company supposed to be doing?

00:33:32.180 What is their function?

00:33:33.580 Let me just read what they wrote on their press release.

00:33:36.060 It says the ultimate goal for the John Q public is to be the hired consulting group that will award contracts and procure goods and services for the region.

00:33:49.280 so they are going to be sort of the guys that are going to be implementing or help the

00:33:56.200 implementation by hiring so for example say the daycare centers so they would then hire this

00:34:04.560 separate division it's called jq built they would go hire somebody to hire a contractor

00:34:15.380 They would issue the RFP and they would select the winner.

00:34:21.700 And so they're going to control the, the implement, the, the,

00:34:25.800 the billing of say a daycare center, for example.

00:34:27.860 So I think that's their role.

00:34:29.900 So the question to me,

00:34:30.940 like these guys are just responsible for giving contracts out to their

00:34:35.000 buddies.

00:34:36.320 Well, they could give it out to their buddies.

00:34:38.220 I mean,

00:34:39.780 they're sourcing these contracts though, Ken, right?

00:34:42.140 Like they're just going, and does anybody else be,

00:34:44.280 the reason that i ask you this question is because i heard about this maybe three or four days ago

00:34:50.600 from a few viewers who were upset these people are contractors and they want the opportunity

00:34:56.200 to bid on deals like this because it's make or break for them yeah but they they'd never heard

00:35:01.800 of john q before and then they sent me this information i went well what is this these

00:35:07.320 people are responsible for pure procuring services or contractors to build things but we right right

00:35:17.480 well the other yeah the other strange thing about this when when they make mention of what does john

00:35:22.760 q bring to the table so i mean that's what i was looking for so why would they have a separate

00:35:27.160 organization to do this it's just another level of unaccountable directors is what it is but they

00:35:33.720 say and this is the quote it says they bring expert business advisory council so i'm thinking

00:35:40.840 well why don't they just bring the advisory council right to the w mr why are you bothered with a

00:35:45.320 separate organization to have these experts if they're experts in one organization they could

00:35:49.240 be experts in another organization and then you wouldn't need this whole level of bureaucracy

00:35:53.720 called the john q public well it sounds like the mafia it does not sound like the mafia where you

00:35:59.080 you like insulate yourself by you know what you're once removed now you're twice removed away from

00:36:05.400 any bad things that could happen you know if you're a politician that is well the other the

00:36:11.060 other odd thing would come to mind is how come if this group is so instrumental in getting this

00:36:17.220 thing implemented and it was around you know prior to the capital region being formed the capital

00:36:23.700 region uh be informed how come this wasn't mentioned in plan 2050 when they say oh and by

00:36:29.240 the way we got this expert group of people who are going to be advising us how come and they're

00:36:34.840 great and this is going to make this thing work nothing in metro plan 2050 mentions anything

00:36:39.700 about john q public nothing so i'm wondering again why was it even set up in the first place

00:36:47.000 it doesn't make any it doesn't really make any sense to me well you know ken i was in the

00:36:51.980 consulting business for many many many years and when you claimed you're an expert on something

00:36:56.700 you needed to show your resume have we seen any of the resume or qualifications of this board of

00:37:01.840 directors particularly these unelected well uh people who are voted in by acclimation do we

00:37:08.540 know what their expertise is that supports them being this expert consulting firm i don't know

00:37:14.320 who they are i don't think they're the ones though ken i think this is some different

00:37:18.680 non-elected people it doesn't say that the council they're saying they have a separate

00:37:25.900 group of experts that john q public is going to bring to the table and help them with rfps help

00:37:33.920 them with implementing help them with finding construction companies uh maybe you know

00:37:38.440 grading each each application you see their first project was called jq

00:37:47.360 connect and they and you might remember this this was in the paper where this john q connect was

00:37:55.840 going to be a service provider for the internet fiber optics into six regions that are all part

00:38:02.560 of oh five regions that are part of the the metro region plus porch of prairie that's why porch of

00:38:08.440 prairie is in john q but not in uh the winnipeg metropolitan region and the my understanding the

00:38:17.020 reason that Portage of Prairie is in John Q is because they were bringing the cable from the

00:38:21.620 west and they would be right on the line so it made sense for them to jump in and become part of

00:38:26.760 this now the other interesting thing is so we started wondering where did the money come from

00:38:33.420 like how did they get financed so there was six five or six municipalities that made loans to

00:38:43.360 john q public in the amount of 250 000 so they ended up with one more each no in total 1.5 million

00:38:52.320 and that was going to that money based on again their information was to be used to start getting

00:38:59.820 the cables into the ground so then they had the rfp and you mentioned soul sourcing it was lots

00:39:07.720 a controversy over the awarding of that contract. And what happened was an association of eight

00:39:15.500 internet providers, all from Manitoba, got together, and they approached the WMR, and then

00:39:22.800 they approached the province, and then they threatened to have an investigation by the

00:39:29.380 ombudsman into the process of awarding the contract to a company called rf now and as soon

00:39:38.380 as this group this association uh mentioned the ombudsman they they just disappeared wmr uh john

00:39:48.340 q connect gone erased from their website uh in fact when we were trying to find out about who

00:39:56.720 got the contract, Marty typed in RFNOW and he found the press release. So it was completely

00:40:08.500 wiped off the webpage of John Q and WNR. The reason it failed is one thing. They failed to

00:40:18.040 meet the requirements under the Municipality Act. And there was a certain section, I think

00:40:23.100 part six of the rfp or something there was something that caused them to fail to follow

00:40:30.080 the standards in the municipality act and again that's quoted somewhere uh in a piece of paper i

00:40:37.000 have but i don't know the details of that but i'm wondering who who's been checking on these people

00:40:43.060 because it seems like they feel like they can get away with anything we're not naming names but

00:40:48.540 it seems like everybody at least one person from each council maybe that's why the secrecy

00:40:55.060 is in on this somehow some way this is the john q website okay i want you to look everybody i want

00:41:02.140 you to look at the very very close resemblance to the icly logo icly canada look at that icly

00:41:10.900 same colors same letter design john q same color look at that you know what icly is you guys

00:41:19.140 watching this many of you already know what icly is it is an arm of the united nations and so ken

00:41:26.160 drysdale what you were saying earlier about all of these un sustainable development goals now

00:41:32.180 suddenly being included in this winnipeg metropolitan region plan 2050 they have

00:41:37.860 infiltrated our municipalities each one of them is somehow compromised or has made a deal with

00:41:44.400 icly canada maybe john q has something to do with it maybe it doesn't but like let's have a look look

00:41:49.460 at that it looks like the same freaking website might have a future as another colombo

00:41:57.180 one more thing ma'am one more thing ken on this network on this internet network thing

00:42:04.300 uh did did the um john q whatever it's called to do the network didn't they also get a grant from

00:42:10.500 the federal government i don't know i don't know where they got the rest of their money because

00:42:15.140 there was 1.5 that was in their their uh their press release yes uh and i think headingly

00:42:23.780 i shouldn't say i uh mcdonald put up 250 and our question is what happened to that money

00:42:34.220 like we'd like to ask somebody respectfully ask them you know you made a loan of 250 000

00:42:39.420 for a project that never got off the ground so where did that money end up with well here's

00:42:44.780 something else i found out today this is interesting too so in the capital region

00:42:50.380 planning uh capital planning region was born it was born out of the legislation that was called

00:42:57.340 capital planning region on their first financial statement dated december 31st 2023 an audited

00:43:03.420 statement there's a note and in the note it talks about the assets of the winnipeg metropolitan

00:43:10.540 region being rolled into capital planning region financial statements included in there was over

00:43:17.420 five hundred thousand dollars of cash went from the m the old m uh wmr into the capital region

00:43:28.460 and in the same note it says from now on the capital planning region will be known as the wmr

00:43:33.420 so and it dissolved so wmr dissolved its old corporation so we're trying to get the financial

00:43:39.120 statements from the wmr prior to january 1st to or just april 23rd 2023 the date that the

00:43:48.500 capital planning region started so we're trying to find financial statements from the old

00:43:54.600 corporation which is now dissolved can't find anything completely scrubbed off the net so what

00:43:59.520 going to try to do is contact some counselors that were around in those days or mayors and see if

00:44:04.240 they have financial statements that go back to the to prior to the legislation the planning act

00:44:11.200 amendment so anyhow let's get the feeling that we may be exposing something that we had no idea

00:44:18.960 we were exposing we're working on trying to get rid of something here that could be hugely

00:44:24.640 detrimental to 900 almost a million people in this area and and that has been the primary focus but

00:44:31.200 this other thing comes up now and could quite possibly show some serious corruption not just

00:44:36.880 with one or two people but we're talking about dozens who could be implicated in this and you

00:44:42.320 asked yourself ken where's the money i'd like to know where the money is in the meantime they

00:44:47.600 continue to lie on their frequently asked questions page we've talked about this but for newcomers

00:44:54.480 those of you who are just coming to the show tonight you're brand new you've never heard

00:44:57.940 about this 2050 plan before if you live in the winnipeg region or even in southern manitoba most

00:45:04.200 of it you may be included in this your home your property your family your place of business they

00:45:10.480 ask here in question five uh sorry we ask and they answer does plan 2050 tell me what i can

00:45:16.300 and can't do in my own yard and with my house and they answer no

00:45:21.180 and drysdale would you care to elaborate on that well it's interesting you know they

00:45:30.840 in the plan they're dictating much higher occupancy on the land not just in the city

00:45:37.980 of winnipeg but in the rural areas as well so in the rural areas for instance there was always a

00:45:44.860 push that if you wanted to build a house it had to be a minimum of five acres or three acres or

00:45:50.800 whatnot and the reason for that is they were trying to maintain the rural character of the

00:45:56.680 of the country areas now it's reversed now they're reducing this lot size they're increasing the

00:46:05.040 number of people on the land and they're essentially planning to urbanize the rural areas

00:46:10.380 so are they telling you what to do it's yeah i guess it's just like you know what i i you know

00:46:18.920 maybe I shouldn't bring this up, but it's just like nobody forced you to take the COVID-19

00:46:23.900 and vaccination. You're just going to lose your job and your bank was going to stop doing business

00:46:28.880 with you and you couldn't go to church, but nobody forced you. And you'll see some of the

00:46:34.000 language in these FAQs of theirs, which is a similar thing. We're not going to stop you from

00:46:38.680 using your vehicle. Oh, but we now have usage fees when you come into Winnipeg. They're talking

00:46:44.380 about implementing a fee system or if you drive your car into certain areas of the city you've

00:46:49.100 got to pay extra money for that so no we're not forcing you no we're not stopping you yes sure

00:46:54.660 they are imagine that you have a house in your rural community on a large lot you're reaching

00:47:02.580 your 70s or 80s and the yard has become too much to care for you want to downsize and stay in the

00:47:07.280 community but there are no condos apartments or senior housing built in your rural community

00:47:12.780 because we've not planned for them so you have to move away if you want to downsize and we know

00:47:17.420 that housing is a big problem right now and it's only going to get harder we also know that there

00:47:22.860 is a lot of federal government funding for housing right now but because we're not planning together

00:47:27.180 that's all of the communities we're not getting that money plan 2050 is where we can all talk

00:47:33.100 about getting ready for better housing together and then they go on and they ask or we ask is this

00:47:39.420 about 15 minute cities no you got the comedy routine there shadow well i mean come on i mean

00:47:49.020 how many times can they lie and this is their own website the frequently asked questions hoping and

00:47:55.420 what did the mayors say uh mayor of winnipeg at the end of the neverville meeting i think he said

00:48:01.660 i think there's a lot of misconceptions out there okay so what are they exactly so you're going to

00:48:07.820 clear them up with your frequently asked questions but you're lying with every answer that you give

00:48:14.700 when you read the plan he encourages people to read the plan probably knowing they won't

00:48:19.420 so when you read the plan all of this stuff is in there which proves they're lying

00:48:27.020 yeah there's a couple definitions that i'd like to give of that so people can understand this

00:48:32.380 document a little better right at the beginning you talked about challenges and whenever a

00:48:38.100 politician or somebody says challenges what that really means is that they've identified a problem

00:48:43.280 but they have no idea how to fix it otherwise it wouldn't be a challenge so when you see challenge

00:48:48.620 in the very first line of these questions you got to know that they're searching for answers but

00:48:53.820 they seem to have them and the second one is when you hear the term affordable housing what does

00:48:58.680 that really mean? You find that probably in the UN documents, which again, they say they align

00:49:05.140 their goals with the UN documents, but affordable housing is based on something like the CMHC would

00:49:11.580 use, like what percentage of your take-home pay can you use for housing? So what's happened in

00:49:18.360 the marketplace in the last couple of years, well, probably since COVID, construction costs

00:49:23.700 have gone up by at least 30 percent interest rates have gone from like three four percent up

00:49:30.440 to seven eight percent so now affordable housing what can you build for that price with a 30 percent

00:49:38.680 increase in construction and what do you pay for in a way of a mortgage payment with interest rates

00:49:43.940 going up and up and up it works out it's probably a 600 square foot prison cell with no yard so when

00:49:52.480 talking about they'll they'll produce condos for the the people the the elderly people who want to

00:49:57.920 stay in their community uh but have and but to get an apartment that's going to build well if

00:50:03.360 it's affordable housing that's what they can expect to get they're not going to get you know

00:50:07.040 a one bedroom place with a balcony and you know and the yard around the apartment block um so

00:50:16.240 yeah that's the other other misconception that they're giving here so you know all you can stay

00:50:21.680 stay in the community and have a nice place to live but really for affordable housing that's

00:50:26.300 what strudel building he's building the affordable housing all across the country and i think that's

00:50:31.020 what it is well you know polyev is talking about build build build too high rises condos near all

00:50:37.140 of the transportation hubs it sounds like he's all in on this as well and ken drysdale you were

00:50:41.940 talking about this not five minutes ago what does priority access roads mean right what is priority

00:50:49.340 access. Will people not be able to drive their own car to Winnipeg anymore? Are people going to be

00:50:54.020 forced to take public transit into Winnipeg? So they go in this word salad. Priority access is a

00:50:59.880 term used in transportation planning that's typically applied to highways and is in no way

00:51:04.620 meant to limit how people get around. People will still be able to drive in their cars whenever they

00:51:09.800 want, whenever they want to. The plan encourages public transit for those who can't, who want to

00:51:14.760 use transit, but nobody will be forced to take the bus. Now, isn't there some kind of a plan

00:51:21.840 in the city of Winnipeg document that says they want to reduce car use by 50%

00:51:29.300 in the next 25 years, and they want more people riding bikes, walking, and taking buses?

00:51:36.840 Yeah, they have a thing of what they call transportation modes, and they refer to 50%

00:51:44.280 because you'll be in your complete community or even what actually the transportation plan that

00:51:49.180 of the city of winnipeg i think uses the term 15 minute city somewhere in there but they say 50

00:51:54.060 of your active should be active transportation which is walking uh bikes i mean they even have

00:52:01.160 a picture of a wheelchair as active transportation so they've covered all politically correct

00:52:07.520 a wheelchair are you kidding me is there going to be a special wheelchair lane too

00:52:13.880 hey look at this something i forgot to mention in the answer to this question hey what does

00:52:18.540 priority access mean uh it's a term used in transportation planning that's typically applied

00:52:24.060 to highways and is no way meant to limit how people get around well then what is it when you

00:52:30.300 say priority access exactly what do you mean they don't explain it they don't explain it

00:52:38.220 no they don't like the brandon i guess they had a meeting last night in brandon and i think it went

00:52:46.660 pretty bad for for for brandon uh you mean the people of brandon or the city council

00:52:54.460 for city council like the people of brandon are dead against it and like everybody else who's

00:52:59.680 who's been exposed to this plan are angry and that's the anger you know sometimes gets out of

00:53:05.120 hand and um but i'm not sure they they had they put aside one hour for questions and answers at

00:53:12.480 the end no not questions answered presentations there's no answers there's nobody answering any

00:53:16.880 questions anywhere and then some people are allowed to speak after that point but a lot of presenters

00:53:23.120 they're against it and that's where they have that drawing in their transportation section where they

00:53:28.000 They have on one big circle, they have a car.

00:53:31.140 And then the other circle, they have a bike, a guy walking, a wheelchair.

00:53:36.220 Yeah, whatever.

00:53:37.100 Oh, yeah, wheelchair.

00:53:38.320 They have.

00:53:38.700 So they're showing that.

00:53:40.320 Unicycle, pogo stick.

00:53:42.340 I mean, anything that doesn't burn gas.

00:53:45.340 And the other thing, I mean, nowhere do they ever mention the Brandon plan or the Winnipeg plan or the Metro plan that it's frigging cold here in the wintertime.

00:53:54.440 And it's hard to get, you know, get to the bus and walk.

00:53:58.000 yeah and when you're trying to pick up groceries or you know going to a drive-thru with your bike

00:54:04.140 i'm not sure how that all works but they don't mention anything about cold weather minus 30 you

00:54:09.280 know for three months has there been any indication from anybody that you guys have heard when this

00:54:14.900 next meeting is going to be have they come close to scheduling this yet where it might be nothing

00:54:19.620 no nothing yet by the way i christine roncer our friend christine was at the meeting in brandon

00:54:28.020 last night and um she told me and also jen one of our people uh down in the southern part of the

00:54:35.060 province that when you do get up and make a presentation in front of the winnipeg metropolitan

00:54:40.260 region board you need to voice your opposition to the plan or it just goes down as information

00:54:47.380 and doesn't get listened to you have to say hello my name is barry and i'm from the rural

00:54:53.060 municipality of resho or whichever and then you have to say i oppose this plan and then you start

00:54:59.220 with your presentation so if you guys are planning on guys watching right now are planning on talking

00:55:03.700 at the next meeting and by the way i'm not so sure that these people understand that there's even

00:55:10.100 more engagement in this now than there was a couple of weeks ago for neverville and what we're hearing

00:55:15.700 from neverville was that there was anywhere between four and seven hundred people i've heard

00:55:20.900 estimates like that i'm thinking that this next meeting is probably going to be three times the

00:55:27.060 size over 2 000 people if they don't get a venue that seats everybody again they have to reschedule

00:55:33.940 it or live stream it am i correct i guess i'm not sure what they're going to do but i i'm

00:55:39.540 I'm anticipating it's going to be a very, very large crowd there.

00:55:44.880 Unfortunately, very angry people because they didn't get a chance last time.

00:55:48.260 So now they have a chance to really get their blood boiling.

00:55:50.760 But, yeah, I think it'll be a lot of people there.

00:55:53.280 Yeah, there seems to be a lack of clarity on the procedures.

00:55:57.800 Like this 40-day notice thing was what they had, what the WMR announced at Neverville.

00:56:04.140 But if you actually look in their bylaws and procedures, there's no requirement for a 40-day notice period at all.

00:56:11.960 So given, you know, our concerns with their being factual, we're concerned that we're going to be, you know, be announced 48 hours ahead of time and get a meeting because their bylaws actually permit them to do that.

00:56:29.320 So we really have to be vigilant on this.

00:56:32.340 Wow, that's crazy.

00:56:33.620 So 48 hours, we have to, once we find out, so we've really got to say, where are they going to announce it?

00:56:39.000 On their website?

00:56:39.920 We just have to keep clicking refresh for the next three weeks, four weeks?

00:56:44.060 We don't know, you know, and that's a good point.

00:56:48.060 It brings us to a couple of things.

00:56:49.540 I did want to make this point tonight, or two points tonight.

00:56:52.720 One was, you know, they had two big, what they said were public hearings for people to express their concerns.

00:56:59.560 The first one was in 2021 during the lockdowns, and the second one was in 2022 during the mandates and lockdowns.

00:57:07.800 And so how in the heck could they possibly have expected to get any kind of public engagement that way?

00:57:14.020 But secondly, and I think this is really important, and we talked about it, but we kind of blew over it.

00:57:21.220 Because you want to ask yourself the question, where did this come from and why and who instigated this?

00:57:26.680 And on the Manitoba Stronger Together website under the WMR 2050 here, we've got a section that actually answers that. It says political responsibility. And, you know, this was instigated by Gary Dewar, then Greg Salinger, both NDP, then Brian Pallister supported it in 2016 to 2021.

00:57:47.440 Kevin Gertson, Heather Stephenson, all progressive conservatives, and now Wab Canoe.

00:57:51.720 And I want to point out something that's really interesting in this.

00:57:56.300 And that is when the amendment and the people talk about Bill 37, Bill 37, Bill 37 was passed last year.

00:58:08.960 And so it became a law.

00:58:10.280 So it's no longer Bill 37.

00:58:12.000 So what we have is the legislature passed Bill 37, and that became the Planning Amendment and City of Winnebake Charter Amendment Act, okay?

00:58:23.220 Now, interesting about this, when they held the vote for that in the Manitoba legislature last year, every single conservative voted for it, every single NDP person voted against it.

00:58:36.720 and now you've got the NDP in power particularly bushy and and I have a connection if you if you

00:58:43.540 scroll up on your screen there uh a little a little uh further down uh down down the other

00:58:50.600 way yeah keep going keep going keep going uh uh keep going below it's just below this so those

00:58:58.760 are all the premiers that were involved in this from all the parties by the way folks and then

00:59:03.060 where it says you may find the following very interesting people can click on that where it

00:59:08.460 says even more interesting the bill was passed by 30 progressive conservative members in blue there

00:59:13.580 and 21 NDPs and liberals voted against it now what's so interesting about that well the NDP

00:59:20.640 are in power right now and Mr. Bushy who is the minister voted against it last year and now he's

00:59:27.940 all in support of it how did that happen i'd like to ask how is it that mr bushy who's a minister

00:59:35.720 now voted against it 12 months ago and now he's in support of it and pushing to implement this by

00:59:41.160 january 1st 2025 i don't know if he's listening but i would like an explanation now ken ken lee

00:59:49.300 is going to laugh at me because he knows this is all politics but folks sitting there at home

00:59:53.520 who are listening to this don't know how political it is that they'll say x and then the next day

00:59:59.440 they say y they're voting against something when they get into power they vote for it

01:00:03.620 and and although ken lee and i and probably shadow you understand that that's politics i don't think

01:00:09.920 the people understand that that is what happens and you do not have separate parties you have a

01:00:15.920 uniparty because as soon as they get into power they do exactly what the other per other party

01:00:21.360 did. And this is a prime example of it. So, Mr. Bushy, if you're listening, explain to me how you

01:00:26.900 voted against this 12 months ago and now you want it. Explain this to me. Well, Ken and I, Ken Lee

01:00:34.140 and I had this conversation the other day and it was about deep state. And when we say deep state,

01:00:41.000 you know, that's the kind of a blanket expression for the bureaucracy, right? No matter where it

01:00:45.840 happens to be and at what level of government it happens to be at. And Ken, you've got 10 years

01:00:51.240 experience as the chief financial officer of the progressive conservative party of manitoba you know

01:00:57.320 a thing or two about how deputy ministers and all of the people who have been in place in whichever

01:01:03.800 department they've been working in for 20 25 years they're the ones who actually run the show the

01:01:09.240 politicians it's just revolving chairs are with them right right so like the system is dysfunctional

01:01:16.040 every way because the there's so much information that goes behind every single piece of legislation

01:01:22.800 that it take you take you forever to if you were say you were the minister of municipalities to

01:01:29.680 go through the information and figure it out so he has people working for him that that do that for

01:01:35.120 him so what ends up happening i think and after 17 years of ndp power i mean everybody they hired

01:01:42.700 had to wear an orange shirt pretty much so it's deep it's very deep uh in it's not just when they

01:01:50.500 wear an orange shirt on the surface they actually believe in the doctrines of the ndp which is based

01:01:58.240 in marxism let's be honest here right and so when pallister came to power in what 2016 2017

01:02:04.700 he didn't fire these people no well there's certain people that are sort of like political

01:02:12.000 appointments at higher levels and they they usually resign on their own but there's some deputy

01:02:18.480 ministers that uh didn't resign and they stayed on and they were definitely not you know not in

01:02:24.540 favor of the conservative ideologies but i had a discussion this is when you i'm sorry to interrupt

01:02:29.780 you this is when you get bureaucratic resistance right this is when they just kind of go well you

01:02:33.820 know what we're gonna policy comes down from the government and the deputy minister looks at it and

01:02:38.260 goes yeah that's great puts it in file 13 and then they send another memo maybe two or three

01:02:43.480 weeks later and people are wondering hey the government promised this and they're not delivering

01:02:47.180 well it's it's not their fault i suppose it is if they don't check on what their deputy ministers

01:02:52.820 are and aren't doing right like i think you know we had some discussions with the saskatchewan

01:02:58.800 party and they've been in power there and they have like i don't know 80 of the seats or some

01:03:02.540 crazy majority and they're still battling with bureaucrats who were left over from the previous

01:03:08.160 government even today and and so they're looking for ways and you know they really i guess it's

01:03:15.480 really the unions are the ones and of course the unions all support the ndp and this last election

01:03:21.120 they support them to the tune of i think it was like two hundred thousand dollars that was reported

01:03:25.960 in the elections uh finances act ken did you look at those returns from the unions you take a look

01:03:31.220 at those i did look at some of them yeah they're mysterious it was amazing when i looked at how

01:03:35.960 much money um mr canoe's campaign apparently spent and and i i don't know how that was possible

01:03:44.080 for that amount of money and we've talked about that offline but no there was a lot of there was

01:03:49.380 a lot of things that happened during that election where unions were paying directly telling

01:03:54.700 contractors to build them not the ndp and uh so they would they would get the so this would never

01:04:01.020 show up anywhere on the financial statements of the NDP but they would they would just pay for

01:04:06.120 events or pay for whatever they were paying for and they would just send us the bill and we'll

01:04:09.920 take care of that so those kind of things go on like uh it's pretty not so you're not supposed

01:04:15.420 to do that well and people should know that these returns are available to the public on the

01:04:23.820 Manitoba legislature website you can actually find them and you can open them up and you go

01:04:28.080 what they spent 20 grand this is like this this is like this everywhere something else i want to

01:04:36.500 just change a little bit of the topic of the discussion here as we look at the downtown core

01:04:43.020 of our city and all of the pretty much all of the other cities across this country

01:04:47.700 we're starting to see new stuff that we've never seen before i was just downtown yesterday and i

01:04:53.200 went what's that like this tower with this weird looking thing on the top of it is that some kind

01:04:59.680 of a transmitter is that a camera like what is that because i'd never noticed it before and then

01:05:05.400 you start seeing these things all around and well no it's a traffic sensor what is this cable that's

01:05:11.420 going across the road for no good reason here what is this cable that's going across this bike path

01:05:16.260 for no good reason here what we need to do is go right to our counselors and demand information on

01:05:23.100 every single piece of technology that they have placed in our cities in our infrastructures when

01:05:29.440 it went up what's it for what are you guys doing with this stuff are these cameras are you trying

01:05:34.800 to gauge traffic flows are you looking for facial recognition uh to stop crime before it happens

01:05:42.200 what's the deal yeah if you drive down portage avenue uh on the north side of portage at some

01:05:51.580 of the major intersections like i think i'll get some of these wrong but it's a uh cavalier

01:05:57.660 moray uh fairy road you'll see this silver pole it's a separate pole from a light from a street

01:06:06.760 light and it goes up and at the top there's a blue sort of thing at the top of it and like i

01:06:13.560 have no idea but there's they're all at these particular intersections but they're not on every

01:06:17.560 street but say maybe every 10th block they have one of these these observation things or something

01:06:24.300 i'm not sure what they're doing but it has something to do you know with with trying to

01:06:29.120 record or who knows maybe it's an electronic gateway yeah maybe it's going to send a sensor

01:06:36.360 across the street you drive across here and you get fined because you're leaving your zone you're

01:06:40.320 not supposed to uh catherine asks how come there's so much surveillance maybe she's just freshly

01:06:47.040 tuning in now and hasn't heard of any of this so far you know michael says 5g ai surveillance there

01:06:54.960 you go who knows there's been that rumor i've heard that rumor about that too so well you know

01:06:59.960 it's it's interesting though how they how they give themselves away in a lot of ways shadow have

01:07:06.420 you got available uh to show on your screen the 2050 plan um page 13 let me see if i can bring

01:07:15.580 like i can screen share if you want because i think it's important it's a little off topic but

01:07:21.200 i think it it does it something that just doesn't seem to make sense maybe your viewers can make it

01:07:28.080 make sense for me it's have you got it have you got it up yeah i'm not sure if i have screen

01:07:34.360 sharing enabled but you can always try okay let's see share screen

01:07:38.780 not working no no got it right now so what you're looking at on your screen right now or you should

01:07:50.080 be okay here it is okay i'm uh right what you're looking at on your screen right now this is page

01:07:56.960 13 of the WMR report their 2050 plan what this is it's it's the projection of sources of population

01:08:05.720 okay this is how they estimated the population to 2050 now I hope you can see my cursor and I'm

01:08:14.220 going to roll this up just a little bit so you can see that migration immigration into Manitoba

01:08:21.680 was the highest ever during the lockdowns and mandates in Manitoba.

01:08:26.860 This white means immigration into Manitoba.

01:08:30.700 This yellow means natural born people in Manitoba having babies.

01:08:34.920 So you see in 2021, we had more immigration there.

01:08:39.500 It was a record number.

01:08:40.860 2022, a record number.

01:08:43.300 2023, a record number of immigration.

01:08:46.260 During the time that you were locked down and couldn't go to church

01:08:50.040 and couldn't go to the corner store.

01:08:53.620 They were importing more people into this province than ever.

01:08:57.660 And you can see that their whole basis for this plan,

01:09:01.220 the yellow shows the people from Manitoba having children.

01:09:07.180 So you can see it's going down and it goes down to zero by 2040.

01:09:11.580 And it's all based on an estimate of immigration.

01:09:15.080 And you can see way out here at 2050, the white is immigration

01:09:18.600 and the yellow is natural-born Manitobans.

01:09:21.020 So there's a couple of things in this graph, and I think it's important.

01:09:24.380 It's in the 2050 plan, page 13.

01:09:27.760 First, when they were locking you down,

01:09:30.640 they were bringing in record numbers of people immigrating into this province.

01:09:35.160 Secondly, the instigation or the basis on this plan is an increase in immigration

01:09:44.620 into the province, which exceeds the natural, you know, Manitobans having children. So they're

01:09:51.760 giving themselves away on this. They're indicating to you what policy for an immigration policy will

01:09:58.720 be out in 2050. And I think that was, this is just important for people to say, you think that

01:10:04.780 they've got your best interests in mind? Why were they bringing in record numbers of people during

01:10:09.400 the lockdowns why because they knew that nobody would notice it and nobody would say anything

01:10:17.300 maybe i i don't know well they think they created the housing shortage right there that's how they

01:10:23.240 created housing shortage that's exactly so that's exactly what happened the interesting about that

01:10:28.080 graph there ken is the uh what is negative childbirth what does that mean the last couple

01:10:34.460 years i'm not sure i mean too many people are having abortions and too many guys have got

01:10:39.360 vasectomies i think you know the there's another um uh chart there i think the most information

01:10:45.980 you can get is from the charts by the way because it's not words you can look at numbers and you can

01:10:50.440 make your own conclusions from them if you can you know look at the what the relationship of them

01:10:54.940 but i think it's page 11 or page 10 but what it says it has the graph by age and so it shows

01:11:02.880 the exact same thing that you're showing there from zero to 19 is unchanged for the entire 30

01:11:08.440 years and the only increase in population in manitoba will be from immigration so it's the

01:11:15.260 exact same there's a guy on on youtube i played a video of his last night on the extension on my

01:11:21.660 website after the regular show was over uh and he broke it down across canada he said that if

01:11:29.760 immigration stays the way it is right now we will have uh 46 million people in canada by 2030 and

01:11:39.840 that regular born canadians will be a minority by then there will be 47 percent of old stock as

01:11:48.000 stephen harper called this at one time 10 years ago old stock canadians everybody else is going

01:11:53.280 to be in canada as a first generation immigrant and i found that alarming and this is all part

01:11:59.360 of the century plan. I believe that's what it's called. Well, you know, the interesting thing

01:12:03.020 about that is when you look at this 2050 plan, it doesn't talk about fixing the darn roads. And we

01:12:09.220 have the worst roads, in my opinion, in Canada here. It doesn't say anything about how do we

01:12:14.200 support people who want to have families? You know, we've created an outlook, a society. We've

01:12:22.860 created finances where people can't have children. And so rather than bringing people in

01:12:29.500 from other parts in the world, why aren't we encouraging Canadians to have children again?

01:12:34.900 Why aren't we getting it so that they can afford to have children? The answer is at the bottom of

01:12:40.400 the screen. It's the UN agenda. This is what it is. It's mass migration. It's open borders.

01:12:46.260 it is uh what did trudeau say in 2016 or 15 just after he was elected he said it to the

01:12:53.520 new york times he said canada will be the world's first post national state

01:12:58.840 and we didn't know what that meant at the time what does he even mean we thought he was a moron

01:13:05.380 just like we think kamala harris is a moron today but she's spouting marxist doctrine doctrine this

01:13:11.660 is not nonsense uh word salad that she's saying her father was a marxist based in the kinesian

01:13:18.560 economy and justin trudeau's father whoever it was phil del castro or pierre trudeau take your

01:13:25.440 pick both of them are marxists so whichever father it is he's got a marxist father that makes him a

01:13:32.500 marxist justin trudeau is a marxist himself gerald botts is a marxist they're all marxists

01:13:38.120 and they want a marxist plan for canada they're working with china they're working with the world

01:13:42.480 economic forum and whoever else to create that perfect utopia that they see and they've got it

01:13:51.300 they've got us conditioned and this is the diabolical one of the diabolical things about it

01:13:55.260 they've got canadian society so conditioned that if we say anything if we stand up and say hey wait

01:14:01.760 a minute hold on here i don't recognize my country anymore racist and so we sit down we

01:14:08.420 shut up and we say nothing there we are yes yeah thanks for that shadow

01:14:15.200 you know i my thought my hopes okay my just my hopes and wishes here but

01:14:25.780 you know maybe just maybe this uh exposing what this metro plan 2050 is and then we're going to

01:14:33.260 expose what transportation plan 2050 is for the city of Winnipeg when that comes up we're going

01:14:37.680 to do both of them I wonder if that's going to be the one of the ways that people will wake up

01:14:43.700 and hopefully see what's going on around them and and uh we can stop this look at all all of this

01:14:51.640 nonsense that continues to happen right people look around them right now and they go uh this

01:14:58.520 is not right they don't some of them the ones who were just kind of starting to get it they don't

01:15:03.000 quite know yet what it is maybe their uh their pocket books books have been affected by this

01:15:09.580 their bank accounts uh maybe they're noticing the same things that i just pointed out when they go

01:15:14.280 for a walk in their own neighborhood they don't even recognize it anymore it doesn't look like it

01:15:18.740 did five years ago but there is something i want to play that might actually scare some people here

01:15:28.940 and i i'm sorry i don't want to scare you guys if you could both mute yourselves i need to turn the

01:15:35.580 sound on on this this is called the giant leap and it's from europe and this is quite alarming

01:15:45.080 let's go ahead and play this video this is this comes from ron valent it's maybe two minutes long

01:15:50.600 but you guys need i gotta turn the sound down on this you guys need to hear what this plan is

01:16:01.160 second scenario is the giant leap we wanted to identify a small set of i'm sorry it's called the

01:16:07.160 giant leap scenario you can look this up on whichever social media platform is easiest

01:16:12.600 actions a minimum viable product to reach as many sustainable development goals in Europe's

01:16:17.960 vision of a social and green region we wanted to take a systems approach to explore if we can

01:16:23.080 achieve an acceptable level of well-being for the global majority on a finite planet we conclude

01:16:28.840 that nothing less than the following five extraordinary turnarounds are needed to have

01:16:32.840 well-being for all while respecting planetary boundaries ending poverty addressing gross

01:16:38.920 inequality, achieving full gender equity, transforming the food system and the way

01:16:43.800 we eat, transitioning to clean energy and efficient energy. We argue that these

01:16:49.660 five extraordinary turnarounds and the set of economic reforms that will drive

01:16:53.500 them form the basis of a well-being economy. It is not a blueprint but more

01:16:58.400 of a guide for systemic transformation. In this scenario poverty ends a

01:17:03.040 generation earlier than too little too late. We see gender empowerment in one 0.94

01:17:07.360 generation not ten we see a switch to healthier plant-based diets there's still meat consumption

01:17:13.040 but wait a minute wait a minute did you hear what she said there we see gender uh affirmation in one

01:17:20.720 generation not 10. healthier plant-based diets there's still meat consumption but it's sustainable

01:17:26.880 levels and we have carbon dioxide emissions every decade to reach net zero by 2050. the economic

01:17:34.960 model everywhere is circular, regenerative, and efficient. Material consumption of unsustainable

01:17:41.180 resources is reined in, fossil energy phased out, and we see a significant redistribution of wealth.

01:17:48.100 In this scenario, we introduce a universal basic dividend operating like a universal basic income,

01:17:54.060 with dividends coming to all people, sharing the wealth of the global commons and public goods.

01:17:59.480 who's taking the wealth now it is not properly redistributed this is not utopic this is what is

01:18:07.740 fair and just and what a society in transformation is all about

01:18:13.220 uh you guys can go ahead and unmute now i'm not sure who that woman is i've been looking

01:18:21.220 for her name she represents the green slash efa which i believe is a political movement in europe

01:18:27.020 um and that is what she just said there does that not sound like winnipeg plan 2050 to you

01:18:38.280 on steroids obviously what she said but when we talk about the un sdgs and the 17 sustainable

01:18:44.400 development goals and all of the gender diversity and equity which by the way is not the same as

01:18:51.060 equality just so you guys understand when they say dei diversity equity and inclusion

01:18:56.180 they're talking about communism and if you want more on that you just go ahead and uh look it up

01:19:04.120 online dr james lindsey has got some fantastic videos on what that is all about and that's the

01:19:11.180 kind of stuff being preached by kamala harris and obviously up here as well by justin trudeau

01:19:18.260 And that a lot of that stuff rings true in our in that plan, Winnipeg 2050 plan, doesn't it?

01:19:24.400 They actually say that on page four of the plan. I've got it in front of me.

01:19:28.500 Plan 2050 is a 30 year regional plan that is the blueprint for a resilient, sustainable and globally competitive Winnipeg region.

01:19:36.280 Plan 2050 aligns with the objectives of the United Nations 2030 sustainable development goals.

01:19:44.640 It says it is age four on the plan.

01:19:48.260 but no no heaven forbid this is nothing to do with taking your car away from you or your land from

01:19:54.020 you no of course not well frequently asked questions my ass you know in our and the

01:20:00.740 manitoba stronger together uh wmr uh 2050 page we actually have a section there which is called um

01:20:07.940 um uh and again um we have a somehow oh that's just i've got the uh volume up there okay in

01:20:21.180 any case we have a section there called wmr flawed assumptions and number item number two

01:20:27.500 is overinflated impact of manitoba development on climate change do you know how much i carbon has

01:20:34.860 not been proved to do anything by the way but uh putting that aside do you know what manitoba

01:20:39.500 contributes to the global carbon emissions this is according to statistics canada 0.0426 percent

01:20:47.780 and when you consider and i go on on this thing it says the when you consider the manitoba is

01:20:55.280 known for its vast natural landscapes including forests estimates of natural undeveloped areas

01:21:01.380 in manitoba are somewhere between 80 and 90 percent of manitoba's total area in other words

01:21:07.460 we're net zero carbon already and yet they're still jamming this down our throat so you can

01:21:13.760 see that this doesn't end when you become net zero they just keep pushing and pushing and pushing

01:21:19.060 because manitoba is net zero and this is by the way the statistics on this web page we give you

01:21:25.160 the sources they've come from government sources so they're telling you manitoba's net zero

01:21:31.320 And yet they're still pushing this down your throat.

01:21:34.220 I don't think it's net zero.

01:21:35.940 I think it's a carbon sinkhole.

01:21:37.220 I think it's probably negative now.

01:21:39.600 Absolutely.

01:21:42.200 Anyway, what's next, guys?

01:21:44.840 Are we going to be doing some roadshows, some traveling roadshows, some information sessions in the municipalities around the city?

01:21:54.000 Yeah, we hope to get those going.

01:21:55.740 I, today, I got invited to Dauphin on September the 14th to do a little presentation up there.

01:22:06.240 Excited about doing that because they're not in the region,

01:22:08.840 but the folks up in Dauphin are seeing what's going on here and they're getting worried, very worried.

01:22:13.440 Well, everybody should be.

01:22:15.160 Yeah.

01:22:15.720 But in the meantime, we, okay, so look, I mean, Ken, you're looking for, KD,

01:22:20.000 You're looking for volunteers on the manitobastrongertogether.ca website, correct?

01:22:26.260 Yeah, folks can go on there and right on the main ribbon, you can join and it's free.

01:22:31.720 We don't sell anything.

01:22:32.900 We don't sell memberships.

01:22:34.060 We don't sell branded coffee cups or anything else.

01:22:37.820 You can sign up.

01:22:38.480 Tell us that you want to.

01:22:39.740 There's a section on it where you can tell us that you want to volunteer and what you may or may not want to do.

01:22:45.520 Or it says join there at the top ribbon in red next to the blog.

01:22:49.180 So if you join there and tell us that you want to volunteer, we will get your information out to the team and we need everybody.

01:22:57.560 What do we need the most? I mean, I know we need people, but what do we need them to do?

01:23:02.180 We need them to find venues where we can have meetings like this.

01:23:06.860 We need them going door to door saying, hey, have you heard about this plan?

01:23:10.320 Like something basically simple like that.

01:23:12.180 And I think the biggest thing they can do is just try to get their friends, family, neighbors, everybody they know, and just get the word out saying, you know, these guys are coming to our area and get out and listen to them and find out what's going on here.

01:23:27.100 I think that's the best, the most effective thing they can do.

01:23:30.940 It's just getting the information out because I truly believe this is that

01:23:35.380 every person who reads a plan or finds a bit about it,

01:23:39.860 they get a ton of questions right away and they go like, I don't want that.

01:23:43.120 Like nobody wants this. There's nobody, nobody wants it. There's not,

01:23:47.020 I can't find a person anywhere goes, I think this is a good idea.

01:23:49.520 Or maybe there might be a few, but I haven't met them.

01:23:52.340 I must travel in the wrong circles, but they, nobody wants it. You know,

01:23:56.100 nobody wants this and so this is really kind of I guess the reason why they've kept in the

01:24:02.640 in the dark because the the electorate the people like all these councillors and in the city of

01:24:08.500 Winnipeg councillors too there's 15 of them like you think they would get out there and say you

01:24:13.000 know do you guys like this idea because you know you elected me and we might be pushing this through

01:24:18.320 but there's been none of that it's been all quiet and to me that's the biggest

01:24:25.540 flaw in this entire presentation that these guys put together is that they did everything they

01:24:31.060 could right up to not allowing any questions from us at their hearings to just keeping everything

01:24:37.640 in the dark and if it was such a great idea they'd be shouting from rooftops and going hey look at

01:24:43.820 we're going to do this for you guys we're going to improve your life you know we're going to do

01:24:46.900 all this stuff we hope you like vegetables and insects but this is going to be great but they

01:24:52.760 don't say anything they can't possibly sell the message the message if you don't want to if you

01:24:59.400 don't want to eat this beyond meat stuff then you can go ahead and sprinkle some of this cricket

01:25:03.900 powder on a salad or some noodles that you've made and you'll get your protein today it just

01:25:09.440 won't come from any kind of beef products or pork or chicken wow that's coming a big comeback out

01:25:17.220 here so people better get all their beef eaten as quickly as they can here because it may not

01:25:21.480 be around well you know the other thing that we should be encouraging people to do is phone their

01:25:26.620 council member phone their mayor on our on our manitoba stronger together web page we list all

01:25:33.260 of the mayors and council members for all 17 of the rural municipalities tomorrow we will have

01:25:40.460 posted all of their email addresses and phone numbers so you just go there pick up the phone

01:25:45.740 and phone your counselor like i did with my uh my wonderful uh mayor out here in saint clemens and

01:25:51.920 a week now she hasn't returned my email or my calls um i think maybe we need to get somebody

01:25:58.940 running against debbie think the fibble corn uh in the next election which is coming up in two

01:26:05.180 years by the way uh maggie hope ron also gave us an idea to go ahead and order hard copies of the

01:26:12.280 plan from their offices on st james street right well you know i'm glad you brought that up because

01:26:17.900 you know a certain person that we both know and love tried to go to their offices today

01:26:23.240 and she did a video of it you can't believe where that office is and and don't try to find it because

01:26:29.620 there's no signage she had to go to a couple of businesses in the area and ask and then she filmed

01:26:34.740 this little nondescript door with a little sign beside it in the bottom of a parkade and we're

01:26:40.700 going to post that email on the manitoba stronger together site tomorrow so folks can find it because

01:26:45.740 because she sure had a hard time finding it yeah i've got that video too i was going to play it

01:26:51.260 And I just didn't have time to get it set up.

01:26:52.980 Anyway, guys, we got to wrap up.

01:26:54.160 I got to go to the extension here on the website.

01:27:57.740 the resistance what comes to mind to me is terminator you know like set 40 years in the

01:28:04.860 future where we're fighting cybernetic creatures ai driven cybernetic creatures and we're you know

01:28:12.220 we're in the army fatigues and smoking cigarettes and drinking brandy cheap brandy and planning an

01:28:17.900 assault or maybe the matrix where we're the resistance yet again wearing tattered clothing
