00:02:45.080 So when I heard that this afternoon, I laughed and then I laughed some more.

00:07:48.280 glad to be here shadow it's always a privilege to serve as a guest on your show thank you

00:07:53.240 Yeah, you know, the last time we tried to get Benita on the show, you were traveling back from the Freedom Convoy.

00:07:58.160 I think it was maybe the middle of February, and you had stopped for the night in Kenora.

00:08:03.280 And we tried to connect, but the Wi-Fi you had was so terrible.

00:08:06.980 I was so frustrated because you had some really cool things to say, but we couldn't quite make out what you were saying.

00:08:12.280 So finally, we have a chance to get you back on.

00:08:14.920 Benita, you have an extraordinary story to tell people, starting with your, I guess, your freedom journey, which started about a year and a half ago.

00:08:23.240 And since then, you have been organizing freedom rallies all over northern Alberta.

00:08:28.540 Westlock is your home base, I think.

00:08:30.740 You've been doing things all over northern Ontario and Edmonton.

00:08:34.200 You're a part of the Take Back Alberta movement.

00:08:36.860 Let's start at the beginning.

00:08:38.640 What got you into this in the first place?

00:08:43.060 Well, there's a whole backstory from 2020 of some stuff I went through.

00:08:48.680 but in january of 2021 i was inspired by two great people and one of them was natalie from

00:08:56.640 blades to fades in innisfail alberta because what happened was our premier in alberta said no you

00:09:03.380 cannot open your barbershop she opened her barbershop and boom within a week barbershops

00:09:08.480 were allowed to open another person who inspired me was no we can't have this happening again

00:09:16.040 another person inspired me was Chris Scott and uh what had happened is the premier said you can't

00:09:22.260 open your restaurants he opened his restaurant and boom the rules changed for restaurants and

00:09:26.840 on February 8th 2021 restaurants were allowed to be open for in-service staff again so I looked at

00:09:33.620 myself and I said what can I do I don't own a barbershop I don't own a restaurant I own a DJ

00:09:38.060 service my background is I'm a DJ I'm a karaoke hostess I'm a workshop facilitator I'm an event

00:09:45.040 planner I'm an emcee I'm a speaker there's a lot of things I do and so I said to myself what can I

00:09:50.420 do and on February 4th of 2021 I decided that I would take all my skills and talents and resources

00:09:59.220 from all the things I had done and I would apply them to the freedom movement by rallying and so

00:10:05.660 that first day February 4th I had my first rally planned in other under eight hours and heavily

00:10:12.500 promoted on social media. Fantastic. When did you start getting the feeling, and I'm sure you're

00:10:18.640 going to say from the very beginning, Shadow, but when did you get the first feeling that things

00:10:24.240 were just not going right at all? There's something terribly wrong here. In 2020, when they

00:10:31.160 first presented about the virus, there was a part of me that believed, yep, there's a

00:10:36.440 serious virus here we better be careful and when Justin Trudeau shut us down in March of 2020 or

00:10:46.160 well more so Jason Kenney part of me thought okay well two weeks to flatten the curve um let's uh

00:10:52.900 take two weeks so the first two weeks honestly I actually liked because I needed a break I had

00:10:58.940 been working so hard and having two weeks off was great but by the third week I was basically

00:11:04.000 tapping my foot going, okay, I'm ready to go back to work. And over time, you know, I took up some

00:11:10.780 hobbies, filled the time that summer. And it was later in August, September of 2020, when I started

00:11:21.400 more so realizing something was off. So I'll confess, I wasn't awake from the very beginning,

00:11:27.120 I had some influences, which I'm very thankful for, that helped contribute to my awakening.

00:11:34.000 And then in October, I started noticing there were rallies in Edmonton near where I live.

00:11:39.280 And I started watching the rallies online.

00:11:41.600 And then finally, I attended my first Freedom Rally in December of 2020.

00:11:46.400 And that also contributed to my awakening.

00:11:49.600 So I'm very grateful for that, that those things happened to contribute not just to me waking up, but eventually contribute to me taking action too.

00:11:58.200 Benita, who helped you wake up and how did they do it?

00:12:01.780 Did they approach you, you know, kind of like quietly and say, maybe you should look at this?

00:12:06.680 Because a lot of people are still having problems reaching out to those who may be branch covidians or those people who are in the middle where they don't really know what to do or think yet.

00:12:17.740 How were you approached at first?

00:12:20.460 In some cases, it was just simply people on social media sharing stuff with me saying, hey, you have to look at this.

00:12:26.140 And I started looking at it.

00:12:28.040 in another case i had taken on a temporary job because of course my dj service my karaoke my

00:12:34.660 workshops were all basically shut down due to the restrictions and so i took a temporary job

00:12:40.620 doing something else and the owner of that company knew some stuff was off and she shared some things

00:12:49.260 with me which admittedly at first i kind of thought no way and but then she she continued to

00:12:56.240 push you know and and she's a person I respect very much and so I started looking at it and so

00:13:01.400 that contributed to my awakening as well so I'm grateful that she initiated that and she persevered

00:13:08.120 at the time I wasn't really showing much resistance to the information I considered myself

00:13:12.740 open and so when we're dealing with people though who are resistant I would recommend a different

00:13:18.780 approach persistence can help but i think what works even better is love yeah kindness absolutely

00:13:28.280 and being reasonable uh there have been so many fantastic guests on this show over the past couple

00:13:34.420 of years and they've all no well not all of them but many of them have had fantastic ideas about

00:13:39.200 how to reach out and broach that gap between us and them because that's how we've been looking at

00:13:46.200 That, you know, for the past couple of years, it's us and them.

00:13:48.840 And I think the gap is starting to maybe, you know, lessen a little bit.

00:13:53.120 However, there are still some extremists on both sides of the fence.

00:13:56.400 So tell us about the rallies that you hosted and the problems that you had with RCMP or just local cops and the tickets that you got.

00:14:05.700 How many tickets did you get overall, anyhow?

00:14:08.480 I received 10 tickets for a whole bunch of rallies that I did between February and April of 2021.

00:14:16.200 keep in mind I hosted more than 10 rallies so I was not ticketed for every rally that I did

00:14:22.200 the first five rallies I did I was ticketed for every single rally but after that I wouldn't be

00:14:28.740 ticketed for every rally and so the places I was ticketed were in the following communities

00:14:33.700 Westlock, Barhead, Athabasca, Bonneville and Peace River and so I generally received two

00:14:42.540 tickets in each community including white court but in peace river athabasca i received one so it

00:14:47.600 was always the rcmp that issued me a ticket but in that same time frame i i did rallies in grand

00:14:53.640 prairie and slave lake no ticket and so the first rally i did i remember the police watching me and

00:15:01.920 i remember having a bit of nervousness but they didn't issue me a ticket the day of the rally

00:15:06.000 they brought the ticket to my home in westlock the next day and i wasn't even home and my my

00:15:12.140 roommate took the ticket and I guess that's still considered you know issuance or service or

00:15:17.480 whatever and I remember coming home and seeing that ticket and feeling kind of anxious but I

00:15:21.940 thought you know what I can't I can't let this attempt at intimidation stop me I have to keep

00:15:28.000 moving forward and so the next my second rally was February 18th in Barhead and actually Sheila

00:15:34.380 Gunn-Reed was there from Rebel News and there was another reporter from another agency and

00:15:42.120 And I got my second ticket like at the end of the rally there.

00:15:46.200 And it just it was no problem.

00:15:47.540 It's like, yeah, give me the ticket, whatever.

00:15:49.280 You know, I'll just collect some paperwork.

00:15:51.280 And it just kept coming.

00:15:52.920 And so one of the things I learned when I was interacting with RCMP officers is, number one, don't treat them with courtesy.

00:16:00.140 That's very important.

00:16:01.580 It is possible to challenge someone, yet be courteous.

00:16:05.700 We don't need to be swearing or yelling or being obnoxious.

00:16:08.820 So I would treat them with courtesy.

00:16:10.120 but before i'd let them give me the paperwork because i they'd offer the paperwork say you know

00:16:14.560 and i wouldn't take it right away i would ask them some questions and just kind of put them

00:16:18.220 on the spot and maybe make them just a little bit uncomfortable i i remember what kinds of

00:16:23.400 questions would you ask them um questions like was it your choice to give me this ticket or have you

00:16:31.040 been directed by someone above okay and and often i wouldn't get answers to these questions so the

00:16:38.720 Questions are more so to make them think.

00:16:41.560 So let me ask you what their response, aside from no answer,

00:16:44.700 what was their body language like when they were asked that question?

00:16:48.400 Did they fidget nervously or did they just stand there stoically?

00:16:52.120 What did they do?

00:16:53.360 Most of them would stand stoically, just all business kind of Mr. Intimidation cop.

00:16:59.000 But in one case with one younger officer, I could tell he was uncomfortable and fidgeting.

00:17:05.080 And he just wanted to give me the ticket and go away.

00:17:07.420 but I kept asking him questions and often I would have these exchanges videotaped not always on

00:17:13.900 Facebook live but just at least videotaped and recorded on my personal video camera partly for

00:17:19.260 my own protection partly because I thought oh this might be needed later the footage was not

00:17:24.380 all released publicly I didn't see a necessity to release it publicly but like if I if I was

00:17:30.640 courteous to them they were courteous to me and and they were you know in in at least one case I

00:17:36.440 had an officer say I'm sorry I'm sorry I have to issue this too and uh so that was nice but I still

00:17:43.060 took it and I said you know I'm not guilty I'm exercising my constitutional right to protest

00:17:48.480 I just want you to know that and I'll be fighting this ticket and they're like yeah I by the 10th

00:17:53.880 ticket they're just nodding their heads going yeah I expect you to do so I expect you to keep going

00:17:59.760 did you ever ask them if they were singling you out I didn't ask them at that time

00:18:06.040 but as I was composing my court defense that became a part of it and I had to request disclosure

00:18:15.060 three times and still I didn't get full disclosure and one of my arguments was I felt like I was

00:18:22.340 singled out and so it was very interesting some of the disclosure documents I received I can't

00:18:29.020 disclose some of that because i signed a form but um there was some indication that i was being

00:18:35.900 singled out they they were watching my facebook page i know the feeling yeah like they were

00:18:43.880 spending resources at k division so so k division is this as i understand it it's an investigative

00:18:50.480 branch of the rcmp in alberta and k division is like watching my facebook page and anytime i put

00:18:58.620 at an ad promoting a rally or they they took that ad and that became part of the evidence against me

00:19:04.020 and when they wrote up these little um these little things about me at the rallies they'd be

00:19:08.580 like she was outside uh there were over you know 40 people 50 people 60 people whatever

00:19:14.440 they weren't social distancing they weren't wearing masks and so the tickets they issued me

00:19:19.560 were for having gatherings outdoors in excess of 10 people but i have a theory of why those

00:19:29.380 okay okay okay so so before we get into the theory of why those tickets have all been dropped

00:19:34.260 um you went to court to fight all of these tickets and you represented yourself correct

00:19:40.780 what was that experience like i mean there must have been a lot of of you know late night

00:19:49.380 ramming just to try and get all of the the little nuances of court behavior down right

00:19:55.460 well okay so initially i did actually have a lawyer uh sheila gun reid had offered me a lawyer

00:20:01.720 through rebel news and then so i did have one briefly and that lawyer did me a favor he in a

00:20:07.720 sense consolidated my cases so that all 10 tickets could be tried in one area because boy would that

00:20:13.700 be hard to go to Peace River and then Westluck and then Athabasca. That'd be so hard. So he did

00:20:20.140 that for me. But then we had a miscommunication and that miscommunication was partly my fault.

00:20:25.460 And I lost my lawyer. So I didn't have a lawyer. And I found that out on a day that I had court

00:20:31.280 and court then was by phone. So here I am on the phone trying to get through the courtroom. Turns

00:20:37.480 out the lawyer was going to be in court that day, so to speak. And he explained to the judge,

00:20:42.540 he was no longer my lawyer. So that gave us, you know, in a sense, another stay, another delay.

00:20:47.540 And, and then, so I remember having anxiety when I lost my lawyer. But then I remember a feeling

00:20:53.180 of peace coming over me. And basically, it was a knowing that this is the way it's supposed to be,

00:20:57.980 I'm supposed to be self represented. And I've had that a lot during the freedom movement,

00:21:02.720 I've had a knowing coming over me, a knowing, for example, that I had to go to Ottawa,

00:21:08.180 even though I didn't even know how I was going to get there. And knowing that I had to keep doing

00:21:12.000 these rallies. And it just comes and it comes with a feeling of confidence and peace. And I just

00:21:17.940 accept it and go, okay. And so in a sense, I was told I had to be self represented. And so I

00:21:23.740 accepted that. So I attended one day in court in June of 2021 in Westlock. And I remember meeting

00:21:33.520 the crown prosecutor outside the courthouse. And my 10 tickets had each been issued for $1,200 a

00:21:40.120 piece and the crown prosecutor said to me if you are found guilty each of these tickets could

00:21:49.260 potentially go up to a penalty of a hundred thousand dollars a piece that's what he said

00:21:57.260 that's what he said he said each ticket and so times 10 that's a million bucks i don't have a

00:22:02.800 million bucks and so he said this and i remember in that moment in that moment okay i i believed him

00:22:09.740 And I remember having emotions going, Oh no. And I remember part of me wanting to cry and

00:22:15.680 having these emotions. And, um, so at a later date, there was some indication that if I pled

00:22:21.320 guilty to one ticket that the rest would go away because I think they could pick up that this court

00:22:27.820 stuff was causing me stress. Um, one of the strategies I used, it wasn't really a strategy

00:22:33.380 cause I don't know what I'm doing, but it was, I kept asking questions and I kept requesting

00:22:38.440 more disclosures so for example one of the things i wanted was what what is the rcmp policy for

00:22:45.320 dealing with protesters what is the edmonton police service policy for dealing with protesters

00:22:51.200 i wanted the policies because i had been ticketed by rcmp but i had never been ticketed by edmonton

00:22:56.680 police service they wouldn't give that to me i said uh when dina when our chief medical officer

00:23:03.080 of health dina hinshaw issued these orders that stated um you know giving all the orders but then

00:23:10.200 it stated something along the lines of research has been done that proves covid19 is a problem

00:23:15.780 in alberta so part of my disclosure inquiry was where is the evidence of that research right like

00:23:22.600 is there a paper is there this what is it dina used to therefore declare covid19 is a problem

00:23:29.300 in Alberta I want that they wouldn't give it to me the crown prosecutor kept sidestepping oh we

00:23:35.120 can't give you that because of that oh we can't give it so I had to keep pestering which kept

00:23:39.720 causing delays which may have also been a contributing factor here's the other thing I did

00:23:45.020 is or didn't do is I didn't plead I had chatted with a lawyer sometime during the summer of 2021

00:23:54.800 and she had suggested that I don't plea because they had said you plead guilty do you plead not

00:24:01.220 guilty and I said I withhold my plea because my argument is the ticket that is issued to me is

00:24:07.040 invalid therefore I'm not pleading to it this ticket never should have been issued because

00:24:12.440 as soon as you plea guilty not guilty it takes you down a path and by withholding plea it it sort

00:24:20.060 of left things a little more up in the air and so that's another thing I did I'm not saying

00:24:24.720 that would work for everyone but it worked for me i think it was one of the yeah how it wouldn't

00:24:29.880 work for everyone i mean look man i'm not going to plead to this because you never should have

00:24:33.140 issued this ticket in the first place it's completely anti-constitutional right i mean

00:24:37.800 we can go ahead and gather for a peaceful protest it's part of the charter of rights and freedoms

00:24:42.580 but you used an interesting precedent to get all of that discovery information

00:24:47.200 from the police or maybe that's why they dropped the tickets uh now these last 10 tickets from

00:24:56.340 what i read in newspaper article anyhow uh was that they have to give you the discovery evidence

00:25:02.600 of everything they have whether they're going to use it in court or not i'm not sure exactly what

00:25:08.500 the the precedent is called but they chose not to give you that discovery information right and

00:25:15.720 maybe that's why they've dropped the tickets or have you got a different theory i i have a

00:25:19.440 different theory but just just so that you know i pushed for discovery three times because every

00:25:25.980 time i got a package it felt like it was incomplete it's like no they've got more and so i'd push

00:25:30.720 now another thing is is because i'm self-represented i can interact directly with the crown prosecutor

00:25:36.480 if i had a lawyer i can't do that it all has to go through my lawyer and another thing i've learned

00:25:43.060 about um like this is just my personal experience is that nobody cares about my situation as much

00:25:50.280 as me and and what I've learned on occasion by watching other people and their lawyers

00:25:56.120 is that the lawyer in a sense has a job to do but the individual is just another client like that

00:26:04.220 lawyer has multiple jobs to do he's not as emotionally invested in the outcome as the

00:26:09.840 client themselves. So when I was serving as my own lawyer, so to speak, I'm emotionally invested

00:26:17.120 and financially invested in the outcome. And so it made me I would say extra, you know, persistent

00:26:24.200 extra, like it's and because the other thing too, is because I'm not a lawyer, and I'm a layman,

00:26:29.500 the crown prosecutor and the judge gave me a little extra understanding and patience, shall we say,

00:26:37.220 that they would not have given a lawyer because a lawyer is supposed to know all the processes

00:26:40.780 and and so i'm very grateful for that although we were in a sense on opposing sides you know

00:26:47.340 like the crown really wanted to convict me for one or more tickets and the judge is

00:26:52.960 apparently supposed to be an impartial person trust me sometimes those judges don't feel

00:27:00.060 impartial even by phone i can pick up that they're not did you feel the judges were against you

00:27:06.260 or for you because you seem like such a wonderful nice person right how could they possibly go i

00:27:14.520 think she's the demon incarnate like or or was it like this judicial notice they've been using in

00:27:21.660 pretty much every province which states that the government actions regarding covid is like the

00:27:27.840 sky being blue and the grass being green it just is and based upon that they pretty much have to go

00:27:35.060 in already slanted in the government's favor is that how it felt i would suggest based on my

00:27:43.580 personal experience that judges are probably naturally slanted to the perspective of the

00:27:50.940 crowd i i just i would say most judges maybe not all and so in this case it had to do with the

00:27:57.840 covid stuff um and i my understanding is the judges in alberta were basically told like um

00:28:05.180 you know get jabbed or you don't keep your job so of course i'm going to end up with a judge

00:28:10.700 of that perspective a freedom-minded judge who chose not to get job wouldn't be even hearing my

00:28:16.400 case that's my understanding of the the situation and i don't mind being corrected if i'm wrong but

00:28:20.860 that's what i i stood so so there appeared to be some bias but they they worked somewhat at

00:28:27.220 playing neutral but every now and again let's say i'd interject with a question or say i want to do

00:28:33.040 this and and then sometimes i'd get like abruptly shut down and so i'm like oh yeah your bias is

00:28:39.660 showing now because i'm i'm a layman like they're supposed to have patience for me and and some

00:28:48.160 judges were good they because I had several throughout the year it would keep switching

00:28:52.160 and uh and then I had a judge in my um pre-trial so they put me into something called pre-trial

00:28:58.480 even though I hadn't pled and we're talking about things kind of behind the scenes of when this goes

00:29:04.000 to trial what to expect so they sort of want to understand the scope of my arguments one of the

00:29:10.320 most interesting interactions I had though was last December when I was on the phone not just

00:29:16.120 with a judge and with the crown prosecutor but there were three constitutional lawyers

00:29:22.460 on the line as well and i'm thinking how much money are these people spending on little old me

00:29:30.260 because they want to chase me and nail me to the wall right three constitutional lawyers all

00:29:37.080 arguing against the constitution well they what it was is is they wanted to hear my argument and

00:29:43.460 and this was in my first pretrial call, they wanted to hear my argument because if I'm going

00:29:47.120 to make a constitutional argument, then they have to have their side ready. But I still sounded like

00:29:52.360 a layman who didn't really know what she was doing. So at other pretrial calls, those constitutional

00:29:57.940 lawyers weren't there. So, but it's so interesting to me that here I am, I'm just fighting some

00:30:03.560 tickets and they're, they're sending all these resources after me. Yeah, because I, you know,

00:30:08.860 it's the old thing. If they can shut you down, they'll take everybody else down as well because

00:30:13.040 you're an outspoken voice so after all this time you spent prepping your cases and the time in

00:30:19.480 court you spent whether it was on the phone or video or even in person they've decided to take

00:30:24.080 all those tickets and just rub them up no more tickets yes and i think i know why okay i i um

00:30:31.340 there was a case on monday may 9th in calgary alberta and the judge's name was judge dinkle

00:30:36.660 and the case had to do with a rally organizer from calgary named brad kerrigan and brad had

00:30:42.640 been ticketed for a number of things but in one case one of his tickets was very similar to mine

00:30:47.720 it was issued because oh you're having a gathering outside in excess of 10 people and that's the

00:30:53.400 ticket and I assume it was issued by Calgary Police Services but I'm not sure so uh he he got a

00:31:00.720 lawyer through one of the the lawyer support resources and the lawyer argued that Dina Hinshaw

00:31:08.760 had written those public health orders and had said no social gatherings in excess of 10 people

00:31:19.000 and so the lawyer argued this wasn't a social gathering it's a public protest the public

00:31:26.040 health order doesn't apply and Judge Dinkle on May 9th said I agree so that was the ruling on

00:31:33.680 May 9th so I was aware of that ruling Brad Kerrigan himself actually reached out to me and said

00:31:38.280 there's a victory you need to know about it and I looked at that and I went yes because when I go

00:31:43.200 to trial I'm going to use that in my defense because it set a beautiful precedent so I didn't

00:31:49.620 tell the crown prosecutor in the next court day or even in the pre-trial meetings about my strategy

00:31:59.280 because I thought I'm going to wait till trial but my suspicion is that the crown prosecutor found

00:32:04.860 out about it another way. And in June, he actually called me and said, Benita, I've got good news for

00:32:12.460 you. We're dropping your tickets. And so my next court date was June 22. And personally, I don't

00:32:19.460 think a phone call is enough. I wanted to hear it in court. So I didn't really consider it official

00:32:25.280 until I heard it in court. So I reached out to some people and I said, I'm going to court in

00:32:29.880 person after like a year on the phone in Westlock and I had some supporters come to town and some

00:32:35.520 of them had like freedom trucks and it was awesome and so I go into court and not all my supporters

00:32:40.940 can come they're waiting outside and then basically I go in front of the judge and I had

00:32:48.120 prepared a statement actually that I just really wanted the judge to hear and the people and

00:32:53.680 eventually the crown comes on and he wasn't even there in person he did this remotely and he

00:32:58.020 basically says yeah all 10 tickets withdrawn and so now it's official he said it to the judge

00:33:02.480 and so I said I have a statement please and the judge said nope um it's withdrawn no you're not

00:33:09.220 allowed a statement see you later so anyway so I leave I go out with my people I say all 10 tickets

00:33:14.040 withdrawn we we celebrate we hug and then I noticed that there was um someone with a kind of a fancy

00:33:20.020 looking camera taking photos outside the courthouse taking photos of these freedom vehicles with their

00:33:25.040 flags. And I had a hunch that that was a local reporter. I live in small town Westlock. So

00:33:30.140 usually I know who everybody is, but this was a new face. So I just walked over to her and I said,

00:33:36.260 um, sorry, you're a reporter. And she's like, yes. And I'm like, I'd be happy to grant you an

00:33:41.760 interview. And she said, okay. So we found a spot, we had a chat and then I delivered my statement,

00:33:48.380 the one I had prepared for court. I just modified it slightly. So I'm just so, so grateful for all

00:33:54.320 these moments because one of the things i'm passionate about shadow as much as i appreciate

00:34:00.380 medias like yours that are telling the truth and and getting out there and and there's people out

00:34:06.440 there sharing out these videos thank you and they're hopefully sharing them with the not yet

00:34:10.080 like-minded as well we have to recognize and acknowledge that cbc and ctv and global are

00:34:17.420 still influencing people and and my local newspaper is influencing people they're not all watching

00:34:23.260 shadow davis unfortunately and so what i'm trying to say is i think it's incredibly important

00:34:29.640 that freedom-minded people who are articulate and polite engage with the mainstream media

00:34:38.960 we we have to do this because i i'm well aware that the mainstream media can take things and

00:34:44.760 twist things because i've had it done to me they can right and i acknowledge that but i don't

00:34:50.880 consider that a reason to avoid mainstream media i feel we have to engage with them but in a very

00:34:57.460 careful way so someone who is articulate polite and viewed as a freedom leader like as a leader

00:35:05.860 in their in their group or something these people should be engaging with the media the folks that

00:35:12.680 have trouble being polite my preference is please don't talk to the media well you know what i mean

00:35:19.720 i spent a very long time in media 30 some odd years and i can tell you like especially in my

00:35:27.540 last three years before excuse me before i left the media i could see how left-leaning it was

00:35:34.960 actually becoming it's always been left-leaning but in the i'm going to say the last two or three

00:35:39.820 years i was in it the second that donald trump got elected things changed and uh you couldn't

00:35:46.340 even float a centrist idea in a meeting about what stories the radio station was going to cover that

00:35:53.200 day uh without getting dirty looks from almost everybody in the room and then getting hauled

00:35:57.720 into the boss's office and that you know shadow those right-wing views of yours uh you know we

00:36:02.440 love what that's exactly what he said to me he said we love what you do on the show but those

00:36:06.740 right-wing views that you've got man whoa you know they're going to get us in hot water i said

00:36:11.060 why are they going to get us in hot water i mean by the way my right-wing views here's what they

00:36:15.400 are i like to have a balanced budget within my government that's it right i i mean it's changed

00:36:23.380 a lot of course in the last couple three years since all of this nonsense but at the time that

00:36:28.700 was it don't overspend that was pretty much i'm sick of these high taxes i live in manitoba

00:36:34.700 stop it right and that's what i was getting in trouble for so i can tell you that the media has

00:36:40.560 gone even worse when it comes to the left-leaning approach, Marxist even. We call them the left-wing

00:36:46.400 corporate media on this show, or the Marxist media lately. And they don't even realize they're doing

00:36:51.320 it, Benita. This is the problem with them, especially the younger ones. They have been

00:36:54.980 trained, indoctrinated almost. Go ahead. Okay, so I'm going to disagree with you. And what I mean is

00:37:01.460 basically you're right, but what I'm noticing is the media is starting to leak out little nuggets

00:37:09.080 the truth like it's starting to happen and and that gives me so much hope and i just feel like

00:37:14.940 that leak needs to become a gush like let's keep trying and i agree with you there's a bias there

00:37:21.800 the young people have a bias but the nuggets of truth are coming through and so let's just keep

00:37:29.100 being persistent and i mean i've heard obviously the people say ah just abandon the old media and

00:37:34.660 go to the new media and lots of freedom-minded people have and i understand that but the problem

00:37:38.480 is we have to grow our numbers and the people whose hearts and minds we have to change are

00:37:42.820 still watching cbc and on occasion um cbc will actually do something decent i have one cbc article

00:37:49.780 that i mentioned in that was actually reasonable and so i share that out and i go look cbc isn't

00:37:56.860 all bad you know they still got a long way to go but you know what i'm saying so what i'm trying

00:38:02.200 gonna say is um even though i admire these freedom um media is growing i think it's wonderful we the

00:38:09.760 reality is i think we need to recognize that we make use of those other medias best we can so in

00:38:15.620 my case when i did the rallies in february of 2021 i bought ads in those medias it was three

00:38:22.340 four hundred dollars for a quarter page color ad but my heart said i have to i have to buy these

00:38:27.900 ads social media wasn't enough to promote the upcoming freedom rally so i was spending my own

00:38:33.420 money and um and then like i'm just and i'm so grateful sometimes people come to rallies and go

00:38:38.800 but you know we love what you're doing and they kick me 20 bucks or something and contribute to

00:38:42.380 my costs and um so i'm just so grateful for that and but i think part of the success was engaging

00:38:49.040 in that media well you know what hey if it worked for you i think that's fine but you know we've

00:38:54.940 seen what the media exposed themselves minutes after danielle smith gave her opening speech

00:39:00.780 earlier this week as far as i'm concerned i mean they attacked her like a bunch of sharks

00:39:04.400 when they really and they lied about what she said as well but that's something we can talk

00:39:08.400 about another time so the tickets get dropped you use the media uh you're continuing to host rallies

00:39:14.260 and then the freedom convoy comes you decide that you're going to go out there even though

00:39:18.760 you didn't really realize uh or understand how you were going to get out there you just did

00:39:23.080 how did you by the way well when i first heard about the freedom convoy my initial response was

00:39:28.460 i'm not going i have too many responsibilities here in alberta i was booked to do some rallies

00:39:33.220 in alberta etc and then um i held my albertan shofar in my hand let me just see if it's here

00:39:39.280 nope it's not here so what i call my albertan shofar is a steer horn that a farmer had given me

00:39:45.460 because um some of his livestock had died and he gives me this steer horn so i held this thing in

00:39:51.160 my hand and it was when I held it I realized I had to go to Ottawa so the significance of a shofar

00:39:56.540 is that it when you blow the shofar you're obeying God and there's more to the story it's in the book 0.54

00:40:03.840 of Joshua it has to do with the Jericho march and and I am a Christian and so just holding this 0.85

00:40:08.640 shofar said I have to go to Ottawa the problem was I knew I wouldn't have the um the ability to drive

00:40:16.180 there all the way by myself I didn't know who I'd partner with and I didn't trust my van my van

00:40:20.640 And, you know, I just didn't think it would make it.

00:40:23.120 So I just knew I had to go to Ottawa.

00:40:25.240 So anyway, I talked to, you know, some people.

00:40:28.460 And in one case, this one fellow who cares about me very much,

00:40:31.840 he got a hold of a trucker that was leaving Alberta on Tuesday, February 1st.

00:40:37.040 And he was heading for Ontario.

00:40:38.460 And he said, guess what?

00:40:39.480 You can get a ride with this trucker.

00:40:40.820 I don't even know this trucker.

00:40:42.440 But I said, yep, I'm going.

00:40:44.240 But I had to meet the trucker in Grassland,

00:40:46.300 which is like an hour and a half from where I live in Westlock.

00:40:49.160 and i didn't want to park my van in grassland so i roped in a different guy with a different truck

00:40:53.900 from westlock to drive me to grassland so i get in this truck with this trucker so he's going to

00:40:59.360 get me uh partway through ontario to new lasgard but he's not going to drive me to ottawa so we're

00:41:04.440 driving down the road and he's going so how are you going to get to ottawa from new lasgard and

00:41:08.180 i'm like i don't know like this is a this is a trip of faith and he's like okay so he makes some

00:41:13.140 calls and finds me a truck to drive five hours to pick me up a new last gourd and then drive me

00:41:19.180 another five hours to ottawa and then drop me off and then drive home i assume he paid him he wouldn't

00:41:24.020 let neither neither trucker would let me pay them they just knew that i'm there to fight for freedom

00:41:30.000 and they had been watching some of my previous stuff and they're like yeah we support you so i

00:41:34.060 got rides to ottawa so i get to ottawa and i don't even know where i'm gonna stay uh where i'm gonna

00:41:39.800 to eat. And I don't know how I'm going to get home. Like this is a walk of faith. So I get to

00:41:44.560 Ottawa. I ended up spending my first night on the floor of a church. They had a mattress, a blanket

00:41:51.440 and a pillow. And that was perfect. And I slept on the floor of a church because I didn't know

00:41:56.200 where I was going. And then one of the ladies the next day from the church, she really liked me. So

00:42:01.000 she took me home and I got to stay at her house for a few nights with her and her husband and her

00:42:05.720 two kids. And they're just like, you're here to fight for freedom. Okay, we'll help you. And they

00:42:09.680 they fed me and everything wouldn't let me pay them so eventually I made friends downtown Ottawa

00:42:15.040 who were staying in kind of a like a hostel not quite a hotel but a hostel and so I'm sharing a

00:42:19.980 bedroom with a complete stranger but uh it just felt right and so I I did that for a while and uh

00:42:26.540 and then partway through my time in Ottawa these guys from Alberta show up and as soon as I see

00:42:32.480 him I go uh when are you guys leaving can I get a ride home and they said yes so I caught a ride

00:42:39.180 home with uh uh seven guys in two vehicles i so how long were you there in ottawa over two weeks

00:42:48.140 i arrived in ottawa friday february 4th um one year to the day that i committed myself to christ

00:42:56.960 and the freedom movement so for me that's significant and spending that first night

00:43:02.140 on the floor of a church is significant too and then i stayed in ottawa until sunday february 20th

00:43:08.120 so that it was after we did the jericho march around canada's parliament it was when february

00:43:14.060 18th was obviously a difficult day the the hammer came down the darkness was exposed

00:43:18.620 february 19th i spent some time in downtown ottawa and then february 20th i i left ottawa

00:43:24.240 with my friends from alberta yeah that that is an extraordinary story you should write a book i think

00:43:30.540 uh it's certainly something you're never going to forget right i mean not ever it's amazing

00:43:36.920 so you get back from ottawa now and you're still not quite satisfied you're you're not done you

00:43:43.420 still got more things to do were there more rallies or did you start working on take back

00:43:47.760 alberta the project there oh i i didn't get involved in take back alberta till about three

00:43:52.460 weeks ago i had heard about it though um but i i personally didn't get active with it until

00:43:58.120 recently um just just one thing though when i got back from ottawa the there was a part of me that

00:44:04.520 thought like i have just accomplished the greatest accomplishment of my life i i went to ottawa to

00:44:10.520 initiate promote and facilitate the jericho march around canada's parliament so to me

00:44:17.580 in a sense my largest piece of work was done that's how it felt but then time goes by and i

00:44:25.480 realize there's more work to be done and so i had heard about the take back alberta initiative and

00:44:31.740 it um it's multi-level so one aspect of it was making sure that a leadership review uh occurred

00:44:39.720 for the premier of alberta and so there was a lot of work behind the scenes and then that

00:44:44.960 leadership review was initiated then it was make sure that the results of this leadership review

00:44:53.520 are against jason kenny and take back alberta succeeded at getting lots of people to vote

00:45:01.360 against jason kenney and uh so therefore jason kenney only had a 51 approval rating and that's

00:45:07.620 not enough so jason kenney felt pressure to step down as premier so with him stepping down that

00:45:13.300 triggered a leadership race and so take back alberta worked towards um well reps from take

00:45:20.500 back alberta interviewed my understanding is they interviewed all the candidates because we had seven

00:45:24.220 candidates in this leadership race and what they'd ask them all the same questions questions about

00:45:29.920 freedom, etc. And they discerned which candidates stand for freedom. And so it was very clear,

00:45:37.400 there were two, one was Daniel Smith, one was Todd Lowen. And so Take Back Alberta had some

00:45:43.620 influence in encouraging people to vote for a freedom minded leader of our current governing

00:45:51.460 party. And so I'm just so happy about those successes. And so I had joined in with Take

00:45:57.020 back alberta then um i i was a todd lowen fan uh but i'm okay with a daniel smith victory because

00:46:04.220 she too stands for freedom so i'm i'm so happy with the work of take back alberta so let me ask

00:46:10.520 you benita because this is what i say to people and i i take i should probably take my own advice

00:46:14.800 a little bit more we have to step back occasionally from all of the work that we do constantly

00:46:20.360 thinking about this day after day after day and i know a lot of people who watch this show uh took

00:46:25.540 the summer off they just went you know what i want to just take the summer i want to just get

00:46:28.920 my mind clear i'll come back to it in the fall if i absolutely have to well it turns out they

00:46:33.420 absolutely have to because there's more shenanigans going on uh with the federal government and

00:46:37.960 provincial governments threatening mask mandates again and i've even heard some stories about maybe

00:46:43.540 mandating a third and fourth jab if they think cases are too high in their specific jurisdiction

00:46:50.580 but did you take any time off when you got back from ottawa or did you just keep going and have

00:46:57.100 you been going ever since uh very little time off i i arrived back in alberta on a tuesday and i had

00:47:03.440 a meeting on the thursday so very little time off uh and then i think i had events not sure about

00:47:09.740 the friday but on the saturday i definitely had an event uh so that would have been february 26th

00:47:14.180 so i've taken like little mini breaks like a few days here a few days there but i haven't taken a

00:47:18.820 week i haven't taken two weeks i just basically i've got one speed go right i could tell just

00:47:26.300 from talking to you so take back alberta tba uh and the website let me just see here for a second

00:47:31.920 i've got it up it's tba

00:47:33.620 22 what is it uh 2022.ca shadow i just need a mini break for about one minute can you give me a mini

00:47:44.940 break and maybe bring up that website is that okay sure i can do that i'll just take you off

00:47:49.840 the screen and uh bring you right back about that okay there she goes mini break so i'm going to

00:47:55.320 find the website i think i might have it up here i'm surprised if i don't i do have a story about

00:48:00.860 take back alberta from the calgary herald but let me find it here

00:48:04.320 there we go all right so we had this up last night i think i showed you guys a little bit

00:48:11.540 about this last night don't forget to like and share don't forget to like and share guys this is

00:48:18.360 important that people see this stuff because you know when you get people like Benita on

00:48:22.820 it's very inspirational to other people to maybe start a movement when you get people like Nadine

00:48:27.880 Nesson from Unified Grassroots people like that they are inspiring because they are

00:48:33.600 pretty much putting it out there taking the lead on a campaign that turns into a movement that

00:48:39.760 turns into uh an actual organization that can fight for our freedoms it's very important that

00:48:46.600 we do this everybody uh regardless of whether they can do that or whether you know their job

00:48:51.760 is just to talk to one person and make one person understand what's going on in the world right now

00:48:58.140 it's very even just by sharing this show and others like it and there are a lot of great

00:49:05.800 independent media shows out there guys uh share them all tell people why you're sharing them and

00:49:12.180 you know like uh like bonita says and and like nadine before her be reasonable about it be be

00:49:18.640 accommodating listen to the other side and then say well you know what i appreciate you even

00:49:25.120 engaging with me because once you get somebody to engage with you on that level they'll be more

00:49:31.580 open to hearing what you have to say, which is incredibly important. So here is the Take

00:49:38.860 Back Alberta website. And I read this to you guys last night, but I think I'll take the

00:49:45.080 time to read it again. It's your province. Take it back. For too long, Alberta's ruling

00:49:48.360 elite have taken advantage of everyday people thriving on political apathy. And that's not

00:49:53.680 just what Alberta governments do. That's what all governments do, especially in Canada.

00:49:57.860 They thrive on our apathy. I'm not political. I can't tell you how many people, though, and this is a good sign, how many people in the past year or so have said to me, you know what, Shadow, I was never political before, but now I understand how much the decisions of these politicians affect my and my family's day-to-day life, whether it's tax increases, whether it's restrictions and mandates, whatever it is, or the way they handle inflation.

00:50:24.360 and i've seen gas prices jump all across the country in the last few days i think it's over

00:50:30.940 two bucks a liter now in british columbia and in manitoba i'm not exactly sure what it is i think

00:50:36.540 it was 185 for a liter of gasoline this is basic you know regular 185 if you want the top end stuff

00:50:45.880 it's more like 220 and diesel never mind so all governments do that we cannot be apathetic anymore

00:50:51.880 Because if we are, this is what we get.

00:50:54.760 So anyway, thriving on political apathy, censoring those with the courage to speak out,

00:50:59.480 and exploiting the power of big government to restrict our freedoms,

00:51:02.320 they squander taxes on sole source contracts for their friends,

00:51:05.460 protecting bloated bureaucracies and funding vanity projects.

00:51:09.480 Not anymore.

00:51:10.860 It's time for everyday people to demand better from our leaders,

00:51:14.740 and when necessary, replace them.

00:51:16.640 And that's what Take Back Alberta is all about.

00:51:19.180 they fight for results-based public policy common sense education medical system that works protection

00:51:24.700 of god-given freedoms we're not asking anymore we are taking back alberta all right so let's

00:51:30.780 get back to uh benita here benita uh take back alberta uh they have been operating for how long

00:51:37.180 now my under my understanding is it was initiated in uh january behind the scenes and then it got

00:51:46.860 momentum february march before the april leadership election and and they've had a lot of

00:51:52.740 impact already i mean according to you they've uh pretty much i guess i'm not going to say

00:51:58.400 single-handedly but they have pretty much decided the new premier of alberta would be either uh

00:52:04.200 danielle smith or uh what's i was going to say jonathan tapes but that's the hockey player

00:52:08.500 kurt tapes vic tapes todd lowen just so you know there was someone in that leadership race named

00:52:15.160 travis tapes and he was not my favorite right but i don't consider him freedom-minded because he's

00:52:20.320 too much like jason kenney but uh todd lowen was my favorite for the longest time and and i've

00:52:26.400 since come to appreciate danielle okay so you guys are planning a big uh gathering not this weekend

00:52:34.160 but next weekend what's that all about well next weekend the united conservative party is having

00:52:41.120 their AGM. And it's a three-day conference happening west of Edmonton. So it'll start on

00:52:48.000 Friday and go Saturday and Sunday. And part of that AGM is voting, voting on some policy and

00:52:54.400 governance with regards to the party, but also voting with regards to some of the members of

00:53:00.940 the leadership team. So the executives of the provincial party. And so what Take Back Alberta

00:53:08.680 is doing is encouraging freedom-minded individuals who have a current UCP membership and trust me

00:53:16.600 there's a lot of those because what happened is when this leadership race occurred back in April

00:53:22.160 freedom-minded people were buying UCP memberships left right center like I think it just within a

00:53:28.960 month if they went up by 15,000 memberships and I'm gonna say that that farewell may have been

00:53:33.700 15,000 freedom-minded people. And so the memberships were selling. And so there's a

00:53:38.100 whole lot of Albertans out there that are freedom-minded and have a UCP membership because

00:53:43.320 they wanted to vote out Jason Kenney. So then they would have participated in the recent

00:53:48.060 leadership election. And now the new job is come to this UCP AGM and vote for freedom-minded people

00:53:57.520 on the board and vote for freedom-minded governance. So I don't know yet the details

00:54:03.160 of the policies that will be presented at that AGM for voting. My understanding is there's at

00:54:09.560 least one of them that we want to vote against. And so anyway, so it's very exciting. So that's

00:54:17.180 next week. Now, what's interesting, though, is the UCP has priced the AGM, the current price

00:54:23.500 to buy and register for the AGM right now is like $375. That is steep. And Take Back Alberta is

00:54:31.100 working to influence the current governing party from within. And one of our goals, if we could

00:54:37.720 have our way eventually, is that the price of an AGM would be much more reasonable. It wouldn't be

00:54:43.020 an insane $375 just to get people to come vote. So that's one of our goals. But in the meantime,

00:54:49.800 we can't change that so it's $375 and so we're our hope is that freedom-minded people will just

00:54:56.140 like say yeah you know what freedom is worth $375 pay it register for the AGM at unitedconservative.ca

00:55:03.360 and then maybe you also have other costs like hotel gas fuel etc um are they going to be voting

00:55:10.600 on members of the board at this annual general meeting or is this just about policy nope there's

00:55:16.640 Some members, there's the Provincial VP of Communication.

00:55:20.900 There'll be the leader for Edmonton.

00:55:23.840 Vince Byfield, by the way, is running for the executive board as the Edmonton leader.

00:55:29.920 And he is going to hopefully be elected that weekend on Saturday of next weekend.

00:55:37.800 So, yeah, so we are voting for members of the Provincial Board.

00:55:41.560 And when we get enough freedom-minded members on the provincial board, the board, I don't want to say the board controls the premier, because the premier is like the chairperson of the board, right? But the premier needs to be able to get certain policy decisions past the board if they are going to become policy within the party, right? That's how that goes?

00:56:06.240 That's how I understand it. I'm still learning, too.

00:56:08.920 okay so it is interesting and this is something that i think all provinces should really look at

00:56:15.300 if we want to get people who actually believe in the charter of rights and freedoms uh in positions

00:56:20.660 of power and what i've been saying for the past six months and i know that alberta doesn't have

00:56:25.380 civic elections going on you guys had yours last year but i think every other province in the

00:56:29.980 country has got civic elections going on this month what i've been saying is you know freedom

00:56:34.240 minded people need to run for positions like school trustees, town and city councillors,

00:56:39.740 mayors and reeves. Never mind, you know, the big things like MLAs and MPs. We need to

00:56:46.060 tackle this problem right from the grassroots because, I mean, this goes much deeper than

00:56:50.600 mandates. This is a huge problem with the sexualization of our children. So many different

00:56:56.180 things. Benita, you've got something to say, clearly. Well, your list is perfect. Municipal

00:57:01.580 council um the boards of organizations school trustees but i want to add something to that

00:57:07.220 unions the leadership of unions we cannot assume that all members of a union are socialist they're

00:57:14.180 not um it just appears they are because the leaders in unions seem to be behaving in a

00:57:20.920 socialist manner we need people who are freedom-minded and or conservative-minded

00:57:26.120 to run for the leadership of unions.

00:57:29.320 Let's take over the unions as well with our mindset.

00:57:32.900 Oh, that's interesting because the unions are so tied up provincially

00:57:36.560 with the NDP in pretty much every province.

00:57:40.540 It would be interesting to see what freedom-minded leaders within unions

00:57:44.000 would do to those unholy alliances, right?

00:57:48.460 Okay, Benita, thank you very much for coming on the show tonight.

00:57:51.220 Really appreciate you taking the time on a Friday,

00:57:53.820 and hopefully we'll have you back again very soon.

00:57:55.660 Thank you.

00:57:56.500 Okay, thanks, Shadow. 0.93

00:57:57.640 All right, there is Benita Peterson. 1.00

00:57:59.080 She's a freedom fighter from Westlock, Alberta. 0.98

00:58:01.820 She is with Take Back Alberta.

00:58:04.340 She's had a fantastic journey.

00:58:06.740 Hopefully, she taught everybody a lot tonight

00:58:09.600 about perseverance and dedication to a cause.

00:58:13.560 And that's why we're all here, right?

00:58:15.600 I do have a couple more things I can cover

00:58:18.280 if you guys are interested in sticking around

00:58:20.260 for another few minutes.

00:58:21.100 I know that there's some NHL hockey on tonight

00:58:24.500 that you might want to watch.

00:58:26.120 I want to take a break from all this freedom stuff and talk about hockey.

00:58:31.520 Nope, nope.

00:58:32.780 As a matter of fact, I don't care about the scores.

00:58:35.680 I don't care about all that stuff.

00:58:37.120 I mean, I almost got roped into it a little bit today.

00:58:41.060 Oh, the Jets are playing their first game tonight.

00:58:42.900 Then I realized, wait a minute, the NHL is so woke

00:58:45.300 and all of the other pro sports leagues are so woke

00:58:48.160 and they've shown that over the past couple of years.

00:58:50.000 But then I saw the headline about Rick Bonas,

00:58:53.100 the new head coach of the Winnipeg Jets, testing positive for COVID,

00:58:57.180 so he can't be behind the bench tonight for opening night.

00:59:00.400 And I went, whatever.

00:59:03.920 So day two of the public inquiry into the Emergencies Act happened today.

00:59:09.420 And, guys, this thing is going to be going for the next six or seven weeks.

00:59:12.640 So this news is going to become old very, very soon.

00:59:16.880 Everybody's very excited about it right now.

00:59:18.800 And on day two today, there was a lot of whining from Ottawa business leaders and Ottawa residents, people who live downtown, about the honking and how trucks were a weapon and whatnot.

00:59:31.320 So this is a great tweet thread here from Rupa Supramania, who is a writer at large.

00:59:37.700 I believe she writes for the National Post and the Western Standard.

00:59:40.680 She appears on TrueNorthTNC.News with a show weekly.

00:59:45.820 Let's go through this tweet thread here.

00:59:48.040 just to see the snowflakes who were given standing

00:59:52.520 so that they could testify before this inquiry.

00:59:55.860 I found it amazing that these people were actually allowed in there

00:59:59.920 because they had no proof to offer, just feelings.

01:00:04.100 And in an inquiry, don't you think that we should be tackling the issue head-on

01:00:08.600 with facts and not feelings, like Ben Shapiro says?

01:00:14.460 So, what Rupa says here in this tweet,

01:00:18.040 Witness at the public inquiry, Victoria De La Ronde.

01:00:22.480 I felt phantom horn blowing after the protests.

01:00:27.580 And then Yexie Lee, who I believe received a civic award for standing up to the convoy protesters in Ottawa earlier this year,

01:00:36.080 who was masked when she went outdoors during the protests, said the truckers would derive pleasure from her flinching when they honked.

01:00:45.620 I can barely tell what's behind a mask,

01:00:47.940 let alone know if someone is flinching.

01:00:49.760 Interesting.

01:00:52.540 Zexy Lee on the Freedom Convoy protests,

01:00:55.080 which were terrifying.

01:00:56.240 Quote, I was never deterred from going outside.

01:00:59.280 Unquote.

01:01:00.260 Huh?

01:01:02.000 Well, if they were that terrifying,

01:01:03.780 how were you not deterred from going outside?

01:01:06.220 Question.

01:01:07.180 Did you feel unsafe walking the streets?

01:01:10.000 Yexy Lee. 0.98

01:01:10.940 Hard to describe unsafe. 1.00

01:01:12.600 I don't know how to describe it.

01:01:14.260 What?

01:01:15.460 Listening to Yexie Lee, one gets the impression the Freedom Convoy truckers came to Ottawa to specifically taunt her, that she was the focus of their attention.

01:01:25.500 Zexie Lee admits people in her building threw eggs at the truckers and the protesters.

01:01:30.620 So far in the testimony, this is the most violent act that occurred, and it didn't come from the protesters.

01:01:36.460 Zexie Lee, although I didn't see acts of violence, it was chaos.

01:01:41.700 Quote, unquote.

01:01:44.700 In the immediate aftermath of the protests, weeks after,

01:01:49.620 Victoria de la Ronde says, I kept hearing phantom horns.

01:01:53.220 I also had phantom smells. 0.58

01:01:56.600 Zexy Lee puts her mask back on after finishing her testimony.

01:02:00.980 I'm told by credible sources in the scientific community

01:02:03.960 that COVID-19 took a break for the hour and a half she was speaking without a mask.

01:02:08.060 and then one of the other protesters uh from the downtown business and downtown resident

01:02:16.260 association some protesters were lovely they were not a homogenous group a business which

01:02:22.600 was anti-convoy their google review got attacked although they couldn't say who attacked it

01:02:30.280 mick and that's my own observation not rupa's mikhail said police discouraged residents from

01:02:36.180 coming into the downtown core we're still hurting because wellington street is closed carrier

01:02:40.120 protests had catering tables outside restaurants they were offering free hot dogs and chocolates

01:02:44.780 meanwhile the business that was trying to stay open and survive was not getting any business

01:02:49.100 this is literally terrorism so that is the kind of testimony we heard today

01:02:57.120 during the inquiry into the Emergencies Act invocation.

01:03:04.780 I will say that the people of downtown Ottawa,

01:03:08.280 both business owners and residents,

01:03:10.680 may have been inconvenienced for a few weeks,

01:03:13.740 but terrorized?

01:03:15.400 Probably not.

01:03:17.400 And I don't believe that that lives up to the standard

01:03:20.520 of a national emergency

01:03:22.760 where our borders are being threatened.

01:03:27.120 Where takeover is imminent, where war is imminent.

01:03:30.780 So people were inconvenienced for a few weeks.

01:03:35.960 So what we're going to hear next week is probably from Tamara Leach and Patrick King and Chris Barber

01:03:43.360 regarding their involvement with the convoy and what they observed during their time there.

01:03:49.760 and how they worked with Ottawa police

01:03:53.240 to make things easier for the residents

01:03:55.960 and business owners in downtown Ottawa.

01:03:58.300 But some of the people,

01:03:59.820 you know, I listened to this today

01:04:02.180 for a couple of hours

01:04:03.360 and I got upset at first.

01:04:07.660 I kind of went, whoa, man, like these people.

01:04:11.920 What has our society become

01:04:14.300 where they can't take a horn blowing

01:04:18.860 or a crowd of people

01:04:22.640 or maybe a good-natured jab or taunt

01:04:25.780 without,

01:04:28.500 it's terrifying!

01:04:30.640 Like, what is it? 1.00

01:04:32.600 You know, people younger than them

01:04:34.540 stormed the beaches of Normandy

01:04:36.740 to fight for our freedom in 1944.

01:04:43.340 It's amazing how our society has deteriorated.

01:04:47.200 And I because we've had good times for so long that maybe we do need a little bit of hardship in order to build some character.

01:04:56.900 OK, something else I wanted to discuss here, you guys.

01:05:01.380 The AP, the Associated Press, let me bring this up on the screen here.

01:05:04.840 The AP did a fact check on the story that has been flying around the Internet all week long from the European Parliament.

01:05:12.840 Remember when MEP member for the Netherlands, Rob Ruse, questioned that Pfizer executive and she said, hey, we didn't test we didn't test transmission.

01:05:25.400 We were moving at the speed of science. Right.

01:05:28.640 So, of course, that that's made it all across the world so much so that the Associated Press and other fact checkers and other social media and news platforms felt they had to refute it.

01:05:38.420 So this is what the Associated Press said. Posts mislead. And this is what a joke this is. I'm going to take this apart in about 60 seconds. Posts mislead on Pfizer COVID vaccine's impact on transmission. All right. So this is what this is what they say. This is how they break it down.

01:05:54.220 with the claim, Pfizer admitted to the European Parliament that it had not tested the ability of

01:05:59.600 its COVID-19 vaccine to prevent transmission of the virus before it entered the market,

01:06:04.460 proving the company lied about this earlier in the pandemic. The AP's assessment is missing

01:06:10.800 context. Oh, how many times have you heard that in the last two years? Janine Small,

01:06:16.600 president of international markets at Pfizer, told the European Parliament on Monday that Pfizer

01:06:21.580 did not know whether its COVID-19 vaccine prevented transmission of the virus before

01:06:26.240 it entered the market in December of 2020, but Pfizer never claimed to have studied the issue

01:06:31.680 before the vaccine's market release. Okay, I'm going to keep going. The facts after Small testified

01:06:41.360 before the European Parliament Special Committee on the COVID-19 pandemic, misleading claims about

01:06:46.080 whether Pfizer knew the impact of its COVID-19 vaccine on preventing transmission spread widely

01:06:51.580 on social media. Rob Roos, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. So their conclusion is missing context. In other

01:06:59.280 words, it cannot be trusted. Okay, just a second. Hold it just a minute. Were we not told that this

01:07:07.600 formula was 95% effective? That's what we were hearing from both Pfizer and Moderna at the

01:07:15.680 beginning of this and nobody can take me down on this because i absolutely remember that clearly

01:07:21.320 as a matter of fact never mind my memory it could be faulty let's go back and what oh this is a

01:07:26.920 beautiful picture rochelle walinsky the director of the cdc this is what she had to say about the

01:07:32.920 vaccine not that long ago listen data from the cdc today suggests um you know that that vaccinated

01:07:40.580 people do not carry the virus don't get sick um and that it's not just in the clinical trials but

01:07:46.940 it's also in real world data okay what that is the director of the cdc saying that people who

01:07:54.020 are vaccinated don't carry the virus that means they can't transmit it and they don't get sick

01:07:59.420 so when we talk about broken trust

01:08:03.920 the director of the cdc just told us a lie she did say based upon today's data okay that i can

01:08:13.780 accept because in an experiment you don't know what the results are going to be until you get

01:08:19.100 the results you need the time and the time has not been granted this is the experiment my friends

01:08:29.340 right now right in front of us this is and it's still being executed right now but you know what

01:08:38.180 never mind that clip let's go back to this clip this is the pfizer ceo albert burla in may of this

01:08:45.980 year at a world economic forum conference listen to what he has to say this 22 second beauty right

01:08:51.760 here the goal is to prevent the sickness and that will maximize your chances to do well

01:08:58.340 and that will maximize the chances of people that you love not to get infected.

01:09:03.260 You vaccinate not only for yourself.

01:09:06.020 You vaccinate also to protect society and particularly to protect those that you love the most

01:09:10.520 because they are the ones that you are together.

01:09:13.220 Does that not intimate, hang on, does that not intimate

01:09:16.580 that this genetic experiment stops transmission?

01:09:24.300 This is from the CEO of the company.

01:09:28.340 When he says, you vaccinate to protect others' people.

01:09:33.900 He is intimating there without actually saying the words,

01:09:36.940 and he's sitting with Klaus Schwab, by the way, at the World Economic Forum.

01:09:40.120 That should tell you all you need to know.

01:09:43.220 He says, you don't just vaccinate for yourself, you vaccinate for other people.

01:09:46.600 Let's play it again so everybody can hear.

01:09:49.920 And that will maximize your chances to do well,

01:09:53.060 and that will maximize the chances of people that you love not to get infected.

01:09:57.260 you vaccinate not only for yourself

01:10:00.300 you vaccinate also to protect society

01:10:02.420 and particularly to protect

01:10:03.680 those that you love the most

01:10:05.260 because they are the ones that you are together

01:10:06.940 okay okay okay

01:10:09.360 so am I wrong

01:10:11.220 he's intimating that the vaccine

01:10:15.640 stops transmission

01:10:16.620 by saying that you vaccinate to protect yourself

01:10:19.540 and those around you

01:10:20.820 those that you love

01:10:22.820 all of them all those people

01:10:25.500 so the AP

01:10:31.000 comes out with a fact check

01:10:34.060 and says that it's missing context

01:10:38.260 it's not missing context

01:10:41.240 what that Pfizer executive

01:10:44.820 Ms. Small said the other day

01:10:46.780 it's perfectly in context

01:10:48.140 according to what the AP used

01:10:53.580 for their fact check,

01:10:54.800 which is nothing but a pile of manure.

01:11:01.880 There is a website.

01:11:03.060 You know what?

01:11:05.000 Wayne Peters from What's Up Canada

01:11:06.940 had the guy who created the website,

01:11:09.620 Sudden Deaths,

01:11:11.080 diedsuddenly.com, I think it is,

01:11:14.740 or maybe .net.

01:11:15.880 You guys know this.

01:11:16.940 Probably write it down in the comments.

01:11:19.400 Wayne Peters had him on

01:11:21.160 the What's Up Canada show the other night.

01:11:23.060 get this guy on. The guy that created that website died suddenly. Here's another one to add to that

01:11:29.620 list, sadly. RCMP investigating sudden death of a 24-year-old Manitoba woman at a golf course in

01:11:36.460 Creighton, Saskatchewan, which is a town that's attached pretty much to Flin Flon, and it's along

01:11:43.680 the Manitoba-Saskatchewan border, kind of like a twin town thing. RCMP say they received a call

01:11:50.160 about a woman in medical distress at a golf course in Creighton.

01:11:55.160 24 years old, RCMP investigating the sudden death of this girl

01:12:01.620 died at a golf course in Saskatchewan last week.

01:12:05.320 RCMP said officers responded to a call about a woman in medical distress

01:12:09.080 at a golf course in Creighton, close to the Manitoba border.

01:12:13.500 EMS declared Tristan Job dead on the scene.

01:12:16.700 The 24-year-old is from Flin Flon.

01:12:18.360 Her family has been informed.

01:12:19.900 the Saskatchewan Coroner Service performed an autopsy.

01:12:22.740 Officers are waiting for toxicology results

01:12:24.980 and continue to examine evidence.

01:12:28.260 Toxicology?

01:12:30.000 Does this mean that she was drugged up?

01:12:36.420 I doubt it.

01:12:37.800 She went to play golf, right? 0.80

01:12:40.540 Now, we don't know if this 24-year-old young lady

01:12:44.400 was healthy, a healthy 24-year-old, they don't say. 1.00

01:12:49.900 uh but 24 year olds just dropping dead suddenly

01:12:55.100 what you don't go to a golf course and get drugged up you go to

01:13:00.060 you go to golf course to play golf you maybe have a couple of beers

01:13:05.740 but you don't start shooting heroin or dropping fentanyl

01:13:09.740 it's sad what's going on but the i don't want to say sadder just as sad is that people are

01:13:23.700 dismissing this and they can't seem to put it together and it fits so easily

01:13:31.480 together but these people 0.51

01:13:36.100 this square peg doesn't fit into this square hole what the hell is going on

01:13:45.080 by the way joe biden has just renewed somebody was asking me the other day do you have to be

01:13:58.880 vaccinated to get into the united states yes you do yes you do some people have gotten in

01:14:05.920 luckily somehow but yeah yeah you do the u.s and the philippines and one other country

01:14:10.660 still requiring vaccine uh to get in if you're a non-resident look at this guy

01:14:18.180 so anyway biden has renewed the covet emergency for 90 days after saying covet ended before his

01:14:24.860 covid czar said pandemic is not over not going to get into this whole story because you guys want

01:14:29.120 to get going it's friday night uh let's be honest but joe biden did say on a 60 minutes interview

01:14:34.720 just a couple of weeks ago yeah the pandemic's over yeah you know we we don't have people we're

01:14:40.500 not wearing masks you know we still got a challenge here and there with covid but yeah the pandemic's

01:14:44.780 over that's what he said on 60 minutes the most watched news magazine program in the world and

01:14:52.940 then he goes ahead and he renews the emergency situation for another 90 days why because it

01:15:01.840 gives him more power to do things interesting isn't it uh and that's pretty much all i've got

01:15:12.520 for you guys tonight i would like to thank bonita peterson for being on the show tonight

01:15:17.340 really appreciate her time her eloquence her enthusiasm uh for the freedom movement uh we

01:15:23.800 know that with people like benita uh who are you know i mean it looks to me like she's got energy

01:15:30.000 to keep going for as long as it takes uh for us to win our freedoms back but more important than

01:15:36.480 that because the other side is going to say things like well what freedoms are you missing now

01:15:41.240 well we still can't get into the united states they are threatening to bring mask mandates back

01:15:48.640 they are threatening to bring in mandates for third and fourth jabs not necessarily directly

01:15:55.620 but the ontario chief medical officer yesterday kieran moore he said well you know this 17 uptake

01:16:02.620 for fourth jabs in people who were 70 and older that's unacceptable those are the words he used

01:16:08.200 So it's kind of a veiled threat.

01:16:11.740 But you can bet that he's going to try and find a way to talk Doug Ford into it.

01:16:16.440 And if it happens in Ontario, then boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, just like the domino effect that happens in the rest of the country.

01:16:22.800 This is something I've been saying since I can remember, not just about COVID, but everything.

01:16:27.540 If it happens in Ontario, then you can bet that it's going to happen everywhere else sooner or later.

01:16:32.800 So we have to really watch out.

01:16:35.160 And that's when we have to stand up and fight back and say no. 0.98

01:16:38.200 i'm not wearing that stupid breathing barrier i'm certainly not getting the jab now 0.96

01:16:42.660 it's not going to happen all right uh that's it for the show tonight you guys uh the show is 0.98
