00:28:01.480Yesterday, the Alberta court of justice awarded severance to a former WestJet employee fired because she declined to take the COVID vaccine.
00:28:08.500This decision may be the first in Canada to award severance to a non-unionized employee for being terminated rather than being placed on indefinite leave for refusing the vax.
00:28:18.300If you're aware of others, please note in the replies, Bruce says,
00:28:22.060Jiang Yi worked for WestJet for 11 years.
00:28:24.820Before she was fired, she applied to be exempted from WestJet's mandatory COVID vaccination policy on religious grounds.
00:28:31.360Employers can terminate employees if they're not part of a union, which is a different story, either for cause or without cause.
00:28:37.300But if they terminate without cause, employees are entitled to notice or to severance in lieu of notice.
00:28:43.720In this case, WestJet claimed to have fired Yee for cause for violating its vaccination policy.
00:28:50.340Employers carry the onus of proving just cause.
00:28:53.520While the court did not find WestJet's vaccination policy to be unreasonable,
00:28:58.680it did find the company's treatment of Yee's application for exemption to be deficient.
00:29:04.580Yee said that taking the vaccine would have betrayed her Christian faith.
00:42:48.120That's what he's dedicated his career to. And he is, as far as I'm concerned anyway, the authority on indigenous rights.
00:42:54.900So do the indigenous, do the First Nations people have any sort of veto, any sort of say so over Alberta leaving Confederation if it comes to that, if the vote actually is successful?
00:43:06.100I know there's a lot of chiefs been making noise. And Jeff and I talked on the phone about this this afternoon.
00:43:10.120He said, no, they don't really have any legal recourse.
00:43:12.960And I'll tell you what, the NDP got to them. And they've been rooting them on. So that's why they've been doing this. So I would imagine that Jeff will be able to talk to many of these chiefs over the next few months and calm them down about the situation.
00:43:28.020and maybe, maybe get them to stop speaking publicly about things that they seem completely
00:43:33.900unaware of. There is no interlocutor at all in any of these treaties that says, oh, and by the
00:43:42.380way, if the province that the treaty is signed in decides it wants to leave Confederation, that
00:43:47.480gives you some sort of magic veto power. It doesn't. It would go on like any other contract.
00:43:54.020you know, when a new company buys an existing company, they also buy the employees along with
00:43:59.360them. And generally speaking, there's sort of a clause that lasts anywhere between 12 and 24
00:44:05.500months that says you have to treat these employees the same way that we were treating them during the
00:44:10.320transition phase. After that two years is over, then you can do what you want. But in that two
00:44:14.780years, I would imagine that many of these chiefs, these First Nation chiefs, would be able to strike
00:44:20.420an even better deal with the government of Alberta, but a deal that works for both sides,
00:44:26.100one that's not so... Well, you know what? I don't want to get myself in any more trouble than I
00:44:32.860usually get into tonight, so I'll say one-sided, that both sides can really benefit from all of
00:44:41.540the enormous wealth in the ground in that province. So it would be a better situation
00:44:46.900for first nations and i i don't know why they don't seem to understand that at this point
00:44:50.960getting to that national post article that i had thrown up on the screen earlier michael higgins
00:44:56.320wrote this carney's cabinet of trudeau failures canadians thought carney would bring change
00:45:03.580prime minister mark carney promised change hang on let me shut this down before it starts to
00:45:11.100there we go all right so he promised by the way we'll get to polyev's comments about all this in
00:45:16.420just a second. A new way of doing things at speeds never before seen. Yet to help him do this,
00:45:22.200he's relying on the same old tired and competent ministers who got us into the mess we're currently
00:45:26.300in. The liberals will trumpet the large number of new faces in Carney's 28-member cabinet. There
00:45:31.860are 15 MPs who have never served in cabinet before. But the top tier of ministers, the one
00:45:37.420sitting in the front row at the swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday, were all former Trudeau
00:45:42.120acolytes cabinet ministers now committed to rescuing us from a crisis of their own making
00:45:47.500in the front row sean frazier our new justice minister and attorney general and the man who
00:45:53.740under justin trudeau was responsible for immigration and then housing two files he
00:45:59.100spectacularly failed at if we want to know how bad frazier was in those jobs we need only look
00:46:04.580to carney's election platform he said the last time we faced a housing crisis at such a broad
00:46:10.720scale was after the second world war read the platform this crisis has left younger generations
00:46:17.700facing rents down payments and mortgage payments so high that it turned housing into a barrier to
00:46:23.080opportunity instead of a cornerstone to opportunity sean fraser i did that and now he's the the attorney
00:46:31.460general what about fraser's record of immigration according to the liberal platform the trudeau
00:46:37.300government let immigration grow at a rapid and unsustainable pace. In December, when liberal
00:46:42.360fortunes were in the toilet, Fraser announced that for family reasons he was quitting politics,
00:46:47.460and strangely, after the party witnessed a reversal in the polls, he announced that he was
00:46:52.300returning. In Carney's eyes, Fraser's blundering on two key files qualifies him to be justice
00:46:59.740minister. The only thing worse than Fraser as a cabinet minister may be Carney's judgment.
00:47:04.260But don't take this guy's word for it, or mine.
00:47:08.700Here's Pierre Polyev talking about it today.
00:47:11.380In his first press conference, Mr. Carney talked a good game about reversing liberal policies in these areas,
00:47:18.260but now we have to find out if he was serious.
00:47:21.080And so far, it's not a promising start.
00:47:23.420The first disappointment is, unfortunately, his cabinet.
00:47:26.620He appointed Trudeau's old team and Trudeau's old advisers.
00:47:32.400Stephen Gilbeau, whose radical green agenda would shut down all future developments in our resource industry,
00:47:38.460is still the minister responsible for Quebec.
00:47:41.220Sean Frazier was the immigration minister who caused the immigration crisis,
00:47:47.400the housing minister who gave us the housing crisis,
00:47:50.900and now he's the minister responsible for addressing the liberal crime crisis.
00:47:55.880It seems like he is the master at failing upward.
00:47:58.760Chrystia Freeland, who as finance minister hiked capital gains tax and carbon taxes and massively grew our debt to the point where we now spend a billion dollars a week on interest, stays in the cabinet.
00:48:12.360Then there's Gary, Anna de Sangheri, the new minister of public safety, who said the actual crimes, the actual issues around bail are quite sound and they are embedded in, codified in law right now.
00:48:25.300as in to say that there's nothing wrong with the system.
00:48:28.240Well, in fact, there's everything wrong, as we see from the growing crime wave on our streets.
00:48:32.920Then there's François-Philippe Champagne, Trudeau's minister of everything,
00:48:36.700who never really managed to do anything.
01:08:02.000O'Keefe Media is releasing never-before-seen footage
01:08:04.860from inside the buildings on Jeffrey Epstein's island.
01:08:08.660The island, known as Little St. James,
01:08:10.960is located in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
01:08:13.960Drones have flown overhead in the past,
01:08:16.200independent journalists have snuck ashore,
01:08:18.200but no footage or images from inside these buildings has ever been published until now.
01:08:25.220This footage was captured about a year after Epstein's arrest.
01:08:29.180In this world-exclusive, O'Keefe Media Group takes you through the kitchen inside the main mansion,
01:08:35.260a villa used for hosting high-profile visitors and events.
01:08:38.940Through our reporting, we can confirm this footage is authentic.
01:08:42.960You'll see the entire kitchen is a sterile white with stainless steel appliances.
01:08:47.780There are sparse decorations, including a few pieces of coral, but there does appear one prominent artwork, a large framed photo of a nude baby in a sink.
01:08:59.400The baby is holding a phallic-shaped object.
01:09:03.280The image is hung above the kitchen table.
01:09:06.240It begs the question, why did Jeffrey Epstein choose to place this image inside of a kitchen where visitors would eat, cook, and entertain?
01:09:14.980The publication of this footage comes on the heels of a report last week of a royal fixer
01:09:20.180admitting Prince Andrew had sex with underage girls.
01:09:26.720And also after a report last week on Attorney General Pam Bondi.
01:09:35.820Since those reports aired, we've received an uptick in outreach and tips, and we've
01:09:41.460heard from these sources that they don't trust anybody due to the lack of transparency and
01:09:46.620accountability in the United States government. We increasingly find ourselves in a circumstance
01:09:51.100where none of the criminals in the most powerful institutions in America are held to account
01:09:56.420for anything. And yet I report to you today, the truth always finds a way and courage begets
01:10:03.720courage, which we know is happening as a result of these reports because people are coming forward
01:10:10.400to us. Now, for the first time, I'm going to take you on a tour inside the buildings on Epstein
01:10:16.280Island in a series of video reports. We'll be dropping more soon. Support us and continue to
01:10:22.800look for our next breaking news on our website at O'KeefeMediaGroup.com. Subscribe and you will get
01:10:29.280our reports first. And if you are one of the courageous ones who wants to tell the truth
