00:11:43.120Why does it have to be celebrated at that one particular spot?
00:11:48.080A spot that highlights not just the 150-plus years of Canada, but the 6,000-year history of that location in particular.
00:11:59.920Yeah, and isn't it beautiful that we have that spot and that we gather there for all kinds of reasons throughout the year,
00:12:06.580including to celebrate this incredible nation that we have all worked together to build.
00:12:12.140This is not to diminish the mistakes of the past, but it's to look forward to our happy future and to celebrate the fact that Canada has remained a shining beacon of hope around the world.
00:12:24.580That's why we have plane loads of people landing here every week from Ukraine, escaping their wars.
00:12:30.920Mayoral candidate Jenny Motkoluk, we are out of time, I'm afraid, but we thank you very much for the time.
00:13:24.760What was your feeling of that interview that I just played on CJOB yesterday morning?
00:13:30.740Well, I've got to tell you, it was hostile.
00:13:33.960And I think every listener could hear that.
00:13:37.600i remain very surprised that saying i love my country has become this flashpoint of controversy
00:13:46.920and yet here we are welcome to 2022 brian bowman's legacy
00:13:51.200did they hang up on you yes you just cut you cut you right off and they wouldn't let you finish
00:13:56.940your thoughts they just cut me right off so just to be clear i was invited on cjob to talk about
00:14:02.780downtown revitalization and it was meant to be about an eight minute segment and the first
00:14:08.040five minutes of it or so we talked about the topic which was downtown right and then of course they
00:14:14.900can't help themselves right because the same way that brian bowman couldn't help himself
00:14:18.640but weighed into this thing and so with two and a half minutes i guess left they decided to tackle
00:14:26.600what is a really meaty concept and you heard them jumping all over themselves and jumping all over
00:14:32.660me to make sure that I was you know they were talking over me um and then yeah I think what
00:14:38.640happened is I said no to them Jenny do you feel guilty for being Canadian no and I think that
00:14:47.020set them off a bit and that's perhaps why they hung up you know it's interesting Greg Mackling
00:14:51.540is the only name I I actually can remember from that morning show and I like Greg but
00:14:55.780he's clearly been brainwashed over the past three or so years since I've been not there anymore I
00:15:01.180I mean, I used to like having good debates with Greg, but now it's just the whole concept of that company has moved to such a woke way of thinking that they have to be that way.
00:15:12.480I'm sure they're instructed to be that way.
00:15:14.200But what he said to you, does it have to be at this place with a 6,000-year history?
00:15:20.240It's like he's completely denigrating the fact that the Forks exists as it is today, which is a great meeting place and hub for the entire city of Winnipeg at all.
00:15:28.760It's like he's embarrassed by everything that's there.
00:34:25.160I'm looking forward to exploring it with you.
00:34:27.160But but at the end of the day, we don't know what the future is going to hold.
00:34:31.660And if you're electing somebody to speak for you in any given situation, you better have confidence that that person shares your principles and values and has the courage of their convictions so that they can stick to them, even in the face of an angry, woke mob that would call you all kinds of mean names about Canada.
00:34:49.460now before we get to the platform speaking of angry woke mob uh national media was all
00:34:55.180after danielle smith uh this whole week for the comments she made last week as the new premier of
00:35:02.380alberta uh she is doubling down on those comments and i i think that she maybe issued an apology
00:35:08.880even though it are you still with us there it sounded like a i am yeah i had a little
00:35:14.580interference there okay uh she sounded like she was apologizing i even put a tweet out on twitter
00:35:20.680that said daniel don't apologize to the woke mob not ever you didn't say anything wrong you have
00:35:26.900nothing to apologize for and if you do they'll never accept it and they'll just look at you like
00:35:32.560you're just a piece of raw meat never it's like the pope's apology right the pope finally comes
00:35:37.340to canada not good enough yeah right so have you looked at danielle smith at all and and drawn any
00:35:43.280inspiration from her you know i i have absolutely and in fact there's a number of things that have
00:35:49.420happened recently across the country that are giving me uh some real hope for the outcome of
00:35:54.700this election you know we saw danielle smith win in alberta even though she was characterized in
00:36:00.360all kinds of negative ways we saw and then on saturday we saw um it was his name sim the the
00:36:08.300new mayor of vancouver yeah anti-crime guy yep anti-crime guy welcome to common sense right
00:36:14.140enough with enough with the the progressive narrative that says that we should have drug
00:36:19.720addicts in the street and let's clean up this damn town and i am absolutely optimistic that
00:36:25.220maybe we're maybe the pendulum is finally swinging back and and frankly i think people
00:36:30.380like the assembly manitoba chiefs are helping winnipeggers finally wake up to this because
00:36:35.400when you say Canada shouldn't even exist like I feel like they've just walked off the edge there
00:36:42.600and and now finally even you know the most soft-hearted of us can finally say hey wait a
00:36:49.580minute that's a step too far and by the way what is your motive what is your end game in all of
00:36:54.080this well I want to know what the definition of reconciliation is me too have you have you has
00:36:59.960anybody ever laid it out there for you you know what I'm going to tell you a story I asked okay
00:37:04.840so in 2018 as you know I chose to challenge the incumbent mayor and a big reason that I chose to
00:37:11.800do it is because I don't like his identity politics I find them very divisive I find them
00:37:16.880damaging and so I really wanted to explore that so in the pre-campaign period I went out and I
00:37:23.760met with three people there was my neighbor what at the time was the director of the National
00:37:29.640Center for Truth and Reconciliation. There was a former provincial cabinet minister who is
00:37:42.940Friendship Center. And I sought out these meetings on purpose and I went to see them and they were
00:37:47.160private meetings. They were not anything, right? And I went to them all and these were all people
00:37:51.380that I knew. And I said, listen, I have to ask you a really delicate question and forgive me if I step
00:37:56.380on the language or get it wrong but it's super important that I understand what exactly is
00:38:02.240reconciliation like what will it look like how will we know when we get there what how do we
00:38:08.180measure it right and I asked them all exactly the same on purpose because I wanted to be able to
00:38:14.180compare their answers and I have to tell you that I was surprised at the time and and and really
00:38:21.740confused about the fact that none of them offered an answer to me none of them could tell me what
00:38:28.700it looked like every single one of them told me that it was a journey that it was things like we
00:38:34.560had to just keep giving and giving and giving but none of them could tell me what it looked like
00:38:39.460and my suspicion grew right yeah and and honestly i think that winnipeggers would do well as a
00:38:48.420community and that canada would do well as a nation to agree on our objective right where are
00:38:54.880we going because if we don't know where we're going we can't get there yeah well it's become
00:38:59.280you know just a slogan truth and reconciliation with absolutely no definition it drives me crazy
00:39:05.700so i'm sometimes more reconciliation than truth depending on who you're talking to
00:39:09.480well i would like to see so the only way we're ever going to get there honestly is if both sides
00:39:16.080come to the table with absolutely nothing to hide nothing to lose just come in there and say all
00:39:21.740right look at this is what we think uh and then this is what we think and we move forward together
00:39:26.720but you know but it also matt i sorry to interrupt you but i i'd like to expand on this a little bit
00:39:31.460you know on monday i sent out the open letter to the amc and i told them that i was not going
00:39:36.420to the mayoral forum that they're holding tomorrow right because i there's no way that i can have a
00:39:41.400conversation with somebody that denies my right to exist so that's easy but i had also been invited
00:39:46.840by the treaty one nation to go to a mayoral forum that they were hosting on tuesday now what you
00:39:53.080have to understand is that the chiefs of treaty one are necessarily members of the assembly of
00:39:57.520manitoba chiefs right so i was concerned and i sent a letter to treaty one and i asked them
00:40:04.620do you agree with the amc because your answer is going to inform my decision to attend or not
00:40:10.220And I would like everybody in Winnipeg to know that Treaty 1 sent me back an incredibly respectful and kind letter that said the AMC and Treaty 1 are independent organizations and they don't speak for each other.
00:40:24.540And that Treaty 1 has recognized Canada's existence since the day Treaty 1 was signed.
00:40:31.560So with that, I felt very confident about going to their forum and I did.
00:40:35.300I went to it on Tuesday and it was attended by seven candidates and the audience, I think
00:40:41.200there was a streaming audience, but mainly, you know, the leadership of the Treaty One
00:49:05.980And Winnipeg celebrates that we got this great Amazon investment.
00:49:09.540And in the meantime, do you know what we missed out on?
00:49:11.560A $1 billion Amazon investment for an IT hub that ended up in Calgary.
00:49:20.760And by the way, on paper, when you when you track all of the different things that those companies look for in terms of their location, Calgary doesn't beat Winnipeg ever.
00:49:33.200The real estate is more expensive in Calgary.
00:49:35.000The hydropower, which these things use a lot, is more expensive in Calgary.
00:49:39.860The access to talent in Winnipeg is comparable to what it is in Calgary.
00:52:19.400very famously he tore down the bus shelter at portage place because there was criminal activity
00:52:28.880taking place there and i i don't believe that destroying our own infrastructure is ever the
00:52:34.820solution okay like is that literally why we can't have nice things you know it it absolutely makes
00:52:41.960no sense i remember it was in the spring or winter of this year city council was debating the solution
00:52:46.920to the bus shelter thing and i recall sean nason in particular was talking about yeah let's take
00:52:52.820the glass out what kind of an answer is that you know there's there's a lot to unpack in the bus
00:52:58.120shelter issue shadow should we dive into it because i'd love to well okay let's do that for a few
00:53:02.540minutes i want to get to a couple of other things obviously but this is a good one because i do take
00:53:06.540the bus quite frequently well sure so so first of all um transit is for everybody whether you use it
00:53:14.460or not so i just want to be really clear about that a successful transit system is a key ingredient
00:53:20.020to a successful city so it doesn't matter if you take the bus or you don't take the bus
00:53:24.160you want the transit system to be good the reason people live in bus shelters and just to be clear
00:53:30.100those people are living there okay they've moved in yeah and the reason that people are living in
00:53:35.480best shelters is because we don't have enough affordable housing in winnipeg and when i say
00:53:41.240affordable housing i mean welfare rate housing i just want to be really clear about what i mean
00:53:45.400okay glenn murray when he was mayor of winnipeg very famously said that he was going to quote
00:53:51.020evict the landlords and you know what he did and that has continued right through to this day under
00:53:56.740the leadership of Brian Bowman and Scott Gillingham. The landlords of this city have been
00:54:01.380demonized for decades. And we've got to stop demonizing the people that provide very important
00:54:07.180services that we actually need in this city, whether it's, you know, being a business leader
00:54:11.280that is creating lots of jobs, or being a landlord that's creating a lot of housing.
00:54:16.420And so there are fewer affordable housing units in Winnipeg today than there were in the 1990s,
00:54:21.460courtesy of these city policies the overwhelming majority of affordable housing is not public it is
00:54:28.340not provided by big corporations or the government is provided by individuals who own one or five or
00:54:34.020sometimes 10 or 20 rental houses yeah and we've been chasing them away the pandemic was brutal
00:54:40.480for them because if you remember uh no one was allowed to get evicted during covid which it
00:54:45.080sounds really nice if you're a renter but if you're the poor guy that's paying the mortgage
00:54:48.920and the and the hydro bills what are you going to do right so i met with a group of landlords this
00:54:54.900summer um one of which had 12 houses he told me that he ended up with you know 30 or 40 thousand
00:55:01.220dollars worth of unpaid utility bills courtesy of covid and the covid rules around no evictions
00:55:08.160and what that meant to him is he had to sell two of them to be able to keep the other 10
00:55:12.140and all i could hear was two fewer affordable housing units that's all you can hear right
00:55:17.560so what do we do do we like build more and no for the you know what no we have a lot of slums
00:55:23.800already and we have 780 derelict houses in the city of winnipeg right now they're boarded up
00:55:30.340they're magnets for crime gangs move into them if you're a teenage girl who wants to learn to
00:55:35.460be a prostitute it's a great place to go right they cost us a fortune in first responders calls
00:55:41.260police and fire forever having to go and so they're a blight they're a disaster for the city
00:55:46.240But at the same time, they represent a tremendous opportunity because those houses can be redeveloped and they can be redeveloped by the people that know how, which are the private landlords.
00:55:55.420So can I tell you how I'm going to fix this problem?
00:55:57.500Yes, please, because I have a question and I know that people have tried, you know, with these infill projects, but they keep getting their tools and trucks stolen when they go into those certain neighborhoods so they don't want to go back.
00:56:09.140Yeah, I suppose that's true. But it doesn't help that the city has put all kinds of very insurmountable barriers in the way in terms of don't forget, we just got over the growth fee battle and other costs, right? So in the city of Winnipeg already has a bylaw called take title without legislation, or without without legislation, take title without compensation, my apologies.
00:56:31.800that has been on the books for 20 years and the city of winnipeg only needs the political will
00:56:39.960and the courage to do the right thing which is i am going to seize every single one of the 780
00:56:45.740houses and apartment buildings that are boarded up in this city i'm going to take them away from
00:56:50.220the irresponsible landlords that have left them to rot our city for decades and i'm going to have
00:56:55.360an auction sale i'm going to have a good old-fashioned auction i am inviting qualified
00:57:00.580bidders and a qualified bidder is somebody that has the means and the capability of redeveloping
00:57:05.360that place into affordable housing welfare rate housing okay i'm gonna have an auction and i don't
00:57:12.040care what these places sell for they could sell for a dollar for all i care so what's in it for
00:57:16.700them though i mean if you're going to try and get these developers in to build welfare rate homes
00:57:21.180like how are they going to make their money back well they're going to buy the houses on the cheap
00:57:25.380and the land on the cheap at the auction okay they're going to use their own money they're
00:57:30.420going to fix the places up and they'll decide if they can do it or not right i mean it's not up to
00:57:34.700me to decide if the project is feasible it's up to them it's their money at risk not the public's
00:57:39.560right they will do it and listen there are armies of landlords in this we have welfare rate housing
00:57:46.560in winnipeg it exists people on welfare rent houses okay and there are landlords that have
00:57:51.760figured out how to make a go of this they have to be particularly resilient they have to usually be
00:57:57.020particularly handy at maintaining those properties themselves but there's a lot of people that know
00:58:02.300how and who want to and i say we should let them because when we do that we're going to create
00:58:08.260more than a thousand new housing units i you know it's 780 buildings right some of which are
00:58:14.520apartment buildings we're going to create enough affordable housing welfare rate housing for the
00:58:19.6201100 people that are living in the streets and riverbanks today and bus shelters how do we get
00:58:23.820rid of all this surface parking in the downtown you know i think that the most important thing
00:58:30.220that we need to do with downtown is let again i'm a big believer in the power of one peggers
00:58:35.920downtown has been being revitalized for my entire life okay i'm 50 years old when i was a little kid
00:58:41.320i remember taking the bus to eaton's and seeing the signs about downtown revitalization so whatever
00:58:47.060they've tried hasn't worked the mega projects the central planning it doesn't work portage place was
00:58:51.960a bust right you know in 2018 it was going to be a crosswalk the one crosswalk was going to be the
00:58:58.020silver bullet to downtown winnipeg if you remember that one right so stupid and here's the thing if
00:59:03.700you've been to downtowns in other places i think have you i know i have yes yes yes i've heard a
00:59:08.400lot of excuses about why we can't have a thriving downtown well it's too cold we're a winter city
00:59:12.660blah blah right yeah the reality is other winter cities have thriving downtowns and you know what
00:59:17.680makes for a thriving downtown shops services restaurants that's small businesses that's what
00:59:25.000makes a thriving downtown and the city of winnipeg has made it almost impossible for our small
00:59:31.120businesses to be successful by by failing to provide reliable municipal services which is
00:59:37.160really all that it takes municipal services public safety lighting garbage pickup street parking
00:59:42.500snow clearing broken windows theory broken windows and and permits for the love of god
00:59:48.700okay so when we finally put our thinking through the lens of these small business owners and what
00:59:57.580we have to do is we have to recognize that they are people who are risking everything a lot of
01:00:01.340times these people who are starting these shops they're mortgaging their house to do it right like
01:00:06.200this is their dream and we should be supporting those ambitions because every time a business in
01:00:12.960our downtown is successful the whole city benefits like we should be cheering really hard for them
01:00:18.080and today the city of Winnipeg isn't doing that and that's what makes for a thriving downtown we
01:00:23.940have to think about the way that these decisions impact the success of these businesses so for
01:00:30.300example when we cut up downtown with bike lanes and cut up the traffic and took away the parking
01:00:37.220and made it impossible to clear the snow how do you think that impacted the person that had the
01:00:43.220guts to open a candy store in the in the exchange district it was the worst i know it's the worst
01:00:48.560okay and and we've been doing that for a really really long time these decisions have to be made
01:00:53.900through the lens of the people that they impact the most which are the downtown shopkeepers okay
01:00:58.320Well, let me ask you this. I mean, like those bike paths are in there simply because it's a woke thing to do. Right. And there's been a whole bunch of other things that have been decided upon for our city based upon wokeness and so-called progress.
01:01:11.380How can we remove that that permeating attitude from the city hall and not just the politicians, Jenny, because we all know it's the bureaucrats that actually make things work.
01:01:22.760you guys give the bureaucrats the orders they're the ones who are supposed to make it happen
01:01:27.620how do we get rid of this woke culture is well i would like to say with a jackhammer i mean that's
01:01:32.680how we'll get rid of those bike lanes okay um i was actually thinking about renting a jackhammer
01:01:37.000for the campaign but somebody talked me out of it anyway you know but but but shadow what it comes
01:01:42.740down to really are the themes that i have of accountability and and values so today we have
01:01:49.560a culture in our city hall where no one's accountable for outcomes and this has been
01:01:54.840the case for a long time and i'd love to point the finger only at brian bowman but you know
01:01:59.020it's been going on for decades like i said we always they love to announce spending right we
01:02:05.860have a record road budget we're spending a record amount of money on roads but we never hear them
01:02:10.160say we bought a record number of roads we built a record number of road kilometers we never get
01:02:17.560the outcomes we only get the inputs right and this is this is a theme that goes through a lot
01:02:22.280of institutions in winnipeg where you know they report on the number of meetings that they had
01:02:26.520scott gillingham 51 meetings a year as the chair of the police board well what did you do in those
01:02:32.520meetings were there was there any positive outcomes did you measure the effects and nobody
01:02:37.360asked that question and that's really what it comes down to is accountability like i'm a big
01:02:40.800believer in measurable outcomes so you know as an example um you know talking about you know now
01:02:48.680that we've gone over onto roads a little bit we have spent ungodly amounts of money on infrastructure
01:02:55.480but nobody but no heads roll when something goes wrong so you know we can even go all the way back
01:03:02.000to the police headquarters so yes there were some you know bad people that defrauded the
01:03:08.060taxpayers of winnipeg no doubt about it right stole money right from the taxpayers yeah but
01:03:13.000you know what's interesting about that somebody at city hall wrote the checks
01:03:16.860well they were in on it or or they were just not everyone not everyone uses useful stooges
01:03:23.580you're sending in the the you're sending in duplicate invoices and nobody in the in the
01:03:29.200accounts payable says hey wait a minute we already paid this bill so it's accountability right it's
01:03:35.400it's about accountability and there's there's an even more recent example you know the free press
01:03:39.820reported this this past winter and summer about um public works doing all of these traffic light
01:03:46.180moving things where they were moving the traffic standard lights from you know three inches this
01:03:50.980way and six inches that way do you remember that yes it's a big deal and um and so god only knows
01:03:58.040how many tens of millions of dollars were wasted in it god only knows who was benefiting from it
01:04:01.940if someone was lining their pockets so Matt Allard good for him and Matt and I don't always
01:04:06.700see eye to eye on things okay but Matt Allard was is was chair of public works and he asked for an
01:04:12.880audit of the traffic safety department traffic department that was doing all of this work
01:04:17.820and so he orders an audit and he said show me and he didn't get one the response that he got was
01:04:25.640was the the report the first sentence the report said this is not an audit well you know if I
01:04:31.920I'm Matt Allard. I'm going to hop up and down and heads are going to roll. But but for Matt,
01:04:36.680the problem is, is that, as you pointed out earlier, he's only one voice on council. He's
01:04:41.040only one voice on EPC. And that leadership's got to come from the mayor. And the mayor of
01:04:46.520Winnipeg has to make sure that everybody in the public service knows who's in charge around here.
01:04:51.880And I got to tell you, I am going to demand accountability from our public servants. And
01:04:56.320if they don't want to give it, I'll just find someone who will. So you're talking about,
01:05:00.960okay you're fired next yeah i already called for the firing of danny smith and if i'm mayor of
01:05:08.000winnipeg the chief of police will be shown the door and we're going to put someone in charge
01:05:12.900who delivers accountability for public safety to the people of winnipeg do you have the power to
01:05:17.760do that as mayor or do you have to go through the uh the police board yeah let's talk about the
01:05:21.640police board so um yeah let's let's do that i don't want to talk about the police board we can
01:05:27.320go on for another hour talking about the police but anyway very quickly you know the police board
01:05:31.480has to has to do that and and so as mayor i'm going to appoint people to the police board who
01:05:37.540will make sure that that happens but the real issue and when you ask me that what it does is
01:05:42.680it calls into question every other candidates for mayor for mayor's public safety plans too right
01:05:47.940because the fact remains today the citizens of winnipeg do not have authority over the winnipeg
01:05:54.060police service because the police board is in the way. And all the police board has done is served
01:05:59.480as a very convenient shield between our elected officials and the cops. And so I remember there
01:06:05.880was this press conference recently. We had the chair of the police board, the chief of police,
01:06:09.120the mayor of Winnipeg, literally wringing their hands like old women in angst over the crime.
01:06:14.760And they said, somebody should do something. And I remember looking at the TV at these three men
01:06:19.380saying if you guys can't do something as the mayor of the chief of police and the chair of
01:06:24.380the police board then maybe you need to get the hell out of the way right now for all of these
01:06:29.940changes that you would like to make and by the way i'm on board with you on on all of this stuff
01:06:34.460would you have to get the city of winnipeg act change through the province would you have to
01:06:38.280go to the premier and say look at this we want to make these changes can you make this happen for us
01:06:42.060or can you do it on your own that is the so abolishing the winnipeg police board is the
01:06:46.180only thing in my platform that the mayor and council don't have the power to do on their own.
01:06:51.520We will have to lobby the province. However, the province has a review of that scheduled very
01:06:58.140quickly in the next few months. And I have a lot of confidence that I'll be able to make that case
01:07:02.240to the premier. Okay. So we have been hearing threats from Justin Trudeau and a couple of
01:07:07.940chief medical officers from various provinces across the country. If you don't get your third
01:07:13.340or fourth shot we're going to have to bring these mandates back we're going to have to bring these
01:07:17.000masks back you people aren't aren't complying and and you know covid could be really bad again this
01:07:22.940fall so we have been at least on this show anyway operating under the idea that they are going to
01:07:28.200try and bring some mandates back as mayor would you go ahead with all of that nonsense knowing
01:07:34.200what we know now as compared to what we didn't know two years ago well so here's the thing so
01:07:39.480i'm just going to predicate everything i say with one sentence okay yeah i follow the law i believe
01:07:46.220the law needs to apply to everybody equally so if there was a law in place that it was a federal law
01:07:53.080or a provincial law as mayor of winnipeg you can't very well just say screw you i'm not following the
01:07:58.860law okay you're not allowed to do that however what the mayor and council can do is they can
01:08:05.880take a hard look at how that law is going to be interpreted and applied within the municipal
01:08:10.440setting okay so look in march of 2020 i will admit that i was really scared i think a lot of
01:08:17.200winnipeggers were scared i think everyone was scared we didn't know what this thing was we
01:08:21.440heard the messaging two weeks to flatten the curve and and everybody in winnipeg you know as
01:08:26.620we do teamed up and said fine we'll do this for two weeks right we can do it yep and then six
01:08:33.180months passed and i remember at the time thinking that i did at that time i didn't know anybody that
01:08:39.900had caught covid like no one that i knew i know a lot of people i didn't know anybody that had
01:08:43.860caught covid but everyone i knew was damaged by those restrictions and so you start thinking is
01:08:51.740this really the best way to do it the city council favored favored international businesses over small
01:08:59.000businesses and the way that they applied these applied those restrictions right so it was okay
01:09:04.860to go and park your car and stand in line at costco but it was too covid dangerous to walk
01:09:10.440into an independent shop that probably only had one employee in it at a time ridiculous right and
01:09:16.440what that did is it sparked and i'm convinced that we are only at the beginning of a wave of
01:09:21.000bankruptcies of these small businesses i've met so many of them they lost not only their their jobs
01:09:26.340and livelihoods but families lost generations of life's work think of nathan detroit's that went
01:09:31.120out of business in the square right yeah 40 years they were there making sandwiches and they made
01:09:36.380it they made it to the end of the covid restrictions but they didn't have enough gas in the tank to
01:09:40.980hang on until the workers came back to eat lunch and so it's heartbreaking to me and we need to
01:09:46.640remember how much damage was done and when we you know necessarily follow the laws of the senior
01:09:54.740levels of government, we have to take a hard look at how we're protecting the citizens of Winnipeg
01:10:00.200while we do it. Well, we need to be able to do things that actually make sense, as opposed to
01:10:05.340wearing a breathing barrier, which we know doesn't work. And the doctors have been, you know,
01:10:10.080saying, you got to put the mask on on Twitter, all these Twitter doctors and TV doctors have
01:10:14.500been saying that I have spoken to workplace safety specialists, guys who absolutely specialize in
01:10:21.300these facial contraptions that get worn in construction settings you know when dust flies
01:10:26.860or when gaseous fumes come out and they say that these these breathing barriers that you put on
01:10:32.600your face they don't work to stop an airborne pathogen so why the hell are we wearing them
01:10:38.620it's yeah i mean part of it is theater okay and if you remember in march of 2020 i recall because i
01:10:46.640i listened voraciously i have a degree in molecular biology i want you to know that yes
01:10:50.240I know something about a virus. I know something about a vaccine. I know how this stuff is transmitted. And I was a voracious reader, consumer of this news at the time. And people were begging Teresa Tam to tell them to wear a mask.
01:11:06.140and she said very clearly and very often masks are not useful masks actually can aid the the
01:11:16.940transmission because you touch the outside of your mask which is where the germs would build up and
01:11:21.900now it's on your fingers like she talked about that a lot yes and then finally finally finally
01:11:27.340one day she said i guess if you guys want to wear masks go ahead and everybody in the country said
01:11:31.540hooray let's force the mask mandate but you know you hit the nail on the head earlier when you
01:11:37.040talked about compliance compliant populations yeah um so today let's just be clear there are
01:11:44.240no mandates there are no public health restrictions today in manitoba or when i know that's right
01:11:49.780and a couple of weeks ago the university of manitoba held a mayoral forum at which they
01:11:55.200informed us that the university of manitoba continues to have a mask mandate everybody
01:12:01.180that is on that campus is required to wear a mask and so trying to figure out what we're going to do
01:12:07.480about this thing and you know i mean it was a it was a pretty uh pretty lefty crowd okay
01:12:14.180pretty university what do you expect it was a pretty
01:12:16.660no particularly i wasn't thinking i was gonna win a lot of votes in there okay
01:12:22.840but you got to go back i didn't i didn't hear you i lost your two sentences there just oh sorry i
01:12:27.600just said i didn't think i didn't think there were very many votes for me to win in that room
01:12:31.360okay just to be clear but i had said that i would go but i'm not wearing a mask anymore there's no
01:12:36.800more public health restrictions there are no more mandates that require it right and so we went to
01:12:41.560the university of manitoba and i told my team i said listen we're not going to be here long because
01:12:45.560i'm not going to wear a mask they're going to throw me out it'll be great right we'll be here
01:12:49.620for like two or three minutes tops and so we walked into the room and i like was literally
01:12:56.020tapping on my teeth okay make sure everyone could see that i didn't have a mask on and we walked
01:13:01.320right past the little welcome desk who didn't say a word to me and i went right to my spot at the
01:13:08.160table and i sat down and i showed my teeth to every all of the dutifully masked up people in
01:13:14.040the room including all the candidates nobody said a word to me shadow wow and then i and then we're
01:13:20.720looking at each other right the campaign team's looking at me and i'm looking at them we're like
01:13:23.840I don't know. We were supposed to be thrown out by now. I didn't read the questions.
01:13:27.500I don't know what this thing is about. And so we, um, you were banking on getting thrown out.
01:13:33.780I was banking on getting thrown out of it. And so we, so then in the candidates opening statements,
01:13:39.520I stood up and I said, okay, everybody, uh, the public health restrictions are actually over.
01:13:45.480And I cannot think of a single reason that the university of Manitoba continues to have a mask
01:13:49.480mandate except that they like to exercise control over their faculty and students and as a candidate
01:13:56.260for mayor I'm not going to be controlled by the University of Manitoba or anybody else so I'm not
01:14:00.520wearing a mask today and then I sat back down I got booed roundly roundly booed by the audience
01:14:06.440and Richard Cloutier moderating to his credit told the audience not to boo me but but no one
01:14:14.920from the university of manitoba came to enforce their rule is my point no one had the guts to
01:14:20.880come up to me and ask me to leave you know why because they're wrong to do it and they know that
01:14:26.060they can't enforce it and that's the same thing that happened to us at the forks we were at the
01:14:30.040forks on october the 3rd to do a press conference about canada day and you know god love him about
01:14:35.40090 people mostly strangers showed up in support of this thing and so we're there and we i've been
01:14:40.720to the forks a million times the forks is funded by the taxpayers of canada for the benefit of all
01:14:44.220canadians i go to the forks all the time i don't need papers to go to the forks um but i guess some
01:14:50.800security guard and their senior administration really didn't like the idea of me being there
01:14:56.620and they sent this little security guard out to tell us that we weren't allowed to be there
01:15:00.280because we didn't have a permit did you know you needed a permit to stand in the national historic
01:15:04.620site that is the forks you know why because you don't that's why you didn't know that you needed
01:15:08.140one right so anyway so this guy's causing a little scene and by now the cbc cameras are there and the
01:15:15.420other reporters are there and i've got 90 people and i have something to say right and so i just
01:15:20.860said well whatever we're gonna go right i'm just gonna go ahead i'm gonna do my press conference
01:15:24.640i'm gonna say my things and uh one of the reporters asked me they said well didn't they tell you that
01:15:29.960you're not allowed to be here and i said well then let them arrest me but guess what they didn't have
01:15:36.420the guts to come anywhere close to me shadow you know why because they they can't enforce those
01:15:41.020rules because they're not true and so i think that winnipeggers need to remember that we are
01:15:46.460actually like the toughest and strongest and most resilient people that i've ever met
01:15:50.140and start thinking for ourselves again jenny thank you for coming on the show tonight really
01:15:56.560appreciate your candor i wish we could have seen you for the last 75 minutes too bad about that
01:16:01.440camera not working but i know i'm super sorry about that but there's lots of pretty pictures
01:16:05.420of me on the website and some other bad ones all over the other media sites jenny for mayor.ca go
01:16:11.520there the election is on wednesday you have got my vote thanks again jenny thanks shadow bye for
01:16:16.880now all right there is jenny makalak she is hopefully and guys you know i don't do a lot of
01:16:23.260endorsements of political candidates on the show i tell you who they are
01:16:28.220most mostly and i say you decide for yourself and and i guess i can give you the example of
01:16:34.920Pierre Polyev, I told you about him when he won the leadership of the CPC.
01:16:38.600I've had Maxime Bernier on the show before.
01:16:40.600I have tried to get some NDP and liberal people to come on the show, but they do not want any piece of it.
01:16:46.620Same for most of the mayoral candidates.
01:16:49.520But when it comes to Jenny in a civic election, like I said, I voted for her last time.
01:16:56.440And I will vote for her again because she is the only one that makes sense.
01:17:00.600And if I would have, you know, if I would have had a chance to talk to Jenny probably at the beginning of the campaign, I would have said, here's your slogan, common sense revolution, because that's what we need to get rid of all of this woke mumbo jumbo once and for all.
01:17:19.380And also understand, guys, and, you know, she pointed this out a little bit during the course of our discussion.
01:17:26.920Mayors, they're the leaders of council.
01:17:46.060municipalities can make civic laws and bylaws and whatnot but when it comes to masking
01:17:53.420i don't think they can what they can do is enforce jabs and i should have asked her about
01:18:02.260that if they try to make these ridiculous experimental formulas mandatory again would
01:18:10.560she is mayor enforce that then again it's a council decision interesting but of all the
01:18:19.640candidates for the mayor of winnipeg she is by far and away the only choice to make
01:18:27.000and and that's a fact so if you live in winnipeg and you're voting in the election on wednesday
01:18:35.220please consider all of the candidates you guys know who i'm voting for and share this show to
01:18:42.360as many winnipeggers as you possibly can i apologize to everybody else from all other
01:18:47.720parts of the country tonight for being so winnipeg centric tonight but the show does
01:18:53.160originate in winnipeg i live here i was born raised here and i've got a stake in this town
01:18:58.820and i would rather see it thrive than continue on the current path it's on
01:19:04.260i mean alberta you know it's interesting for as many struggles as alberta's been through
01:19:10.940in the past few years they are still head and shoulders above winnipeg and manitoba in
01:19:17.640infrastructure i'm not sure if any of you manitobans watching this show right now have
01:19:23.080ever been to alberta i recall the first time i went into alberta and it was instantly better
01:19:28.080not the people or anything but the infrastructure the roads were so much better it was like a
01:19:34.880gleaming palace as compared to a little shanty by the road that winnipeg seemed to be i mean you
01:19:41.100guys know what the roads are like in this town in calgary and edmonton they were nothing like that
01:19:46.200not at all and it seemed like those two places had become the edmonton and calgary the places to be
01:19:53.240somehow. And that takes a civic adjustment, an attitude adjustment, to go from,
01:20:00.180eh, we're Winnipeg, to yeah, we're Winnipeg. What's the matter with that?
01:20:05.960Right? You might get laughed out of a few rooms in the first couple of years of a transformation
01:20:10.660like that, but after a while, people might start buying into that. I mean, what are the advantages
01:20:15.400we have as Winnipeggers well we've got some great summers and we've got some fantastic lakes
01:20:24.160to enjoy in the summertime a lot of winter sports we've got NHL hockey we've got CFL football
01:20:30.600got a lot of world-class things here and with a more positive attitude I'm sure there would be
01:20:38.020more world-class things here and I think every city in town could probably ascribe to that
01:20:43.040danielle smith and this is one of the reasons i asked jenny if she'd taken any inspiration from
01:20:51.200danielle because danielle even though she doesn't have a seat in the legislature of alberta at this
01:20:57.340time she is the premier of that province and she has stuck her neck out not just once
01:21:03.620but a few times now she did kind of backpedal at her initial remarks regarding um
01:21:12.580the unvaccinated as the most discriminated uh portion of the population she had ever seen in
01:21:18.620her lifetime which i happen to fully agree with by the way but she did seem to backpedal on that
01:21:25.580without really apologizing for it but now she's come out swinging look what she said today
01:21:31.440so one of the things that we'll be coming through with in the fall as well
01:21:36.640is a change to the human rights code to make it illegal to discriminate against anyone on the
01:21:45.400basis of their COVID vaccination status. Now I recognize that there are still some organizations
01:21:51.360and some businesses in Alberta that is doing that and I just want to sort of give you fair warning
01:21:58.460that we are going to be making a serious pivot in that regard and I would just ask if you would
01:22:04.740work with us to align your policies with the direction that we want to go in Alberta because
01:22:09.940we want to send the message to the community and to the world community and to the investment
01:22:14.340markets that this is a place that is open for business that this is a place that believes in
01:22:19.440freedom this is a place that believes in free enterprise and this is a place where we're not
01:22:24.380going to be making arbitrary decisions that are going to disproportionately impact the small and
01:22:30.380medium businesses in this province okay so one of the things that we'll be coming through with
01:22:34.320yeah yeah yeah yeah um she is going to make it so that vaccine mandates in alberta are illegal
01:22:42.540wow like to me that is absolutely astonishing i love her i think she is immediately the best
01:22:54.400premier that we have in the country and probably one of the best premiers in the history of alberta
01:23:00.380That is amazing to me that she would come out and say that because she does have an election to win at the end of May in Alberta.
01:23:09.100So I think maybe her strategy is going to be to get the people of Alberta, the ones who don't agree, the ones in the middle who are going, I don't know.
01:23:18.160What about masks? What if the COVID comes back? What are we going to do then?
01:23:24.600She is going to just get them to forget about it.
01:28:55.200But, I mean, we're talking about over-the-top costumes, we're talking about showing a lot of skin, we're talking about what drag queens do.
01:29:02.080We'll be sitting there reading stories to little children tomorrow.
01:36:51.940okay who is this person you may have seen her before it's dr christina parks phd breaking down
01:37:04.300how the body struggles to balance and what effect masks have on several organs all right so this is
01:37:11.360about two minutes let's have a watch and see what she has to say um but most of the time we're
01:37:17.240talking about chronic high CO2. You're wearing a mask all day. You're experiencing high carbon
01:37:24.860dioxide all day. That's called hypercapnia. So I'm going to repeat that word many times.
01:37:29.360What are the effects of chronic hypercapnia? Well, we actually have a model. COPD is a model
01:37:35.840of chronic hypercapnia because there is not sufficient gas exchange. So what do we see in
01:37:41.500people where we have models, sleep apnea is also another model, right? So we know what this looks
01:37:48.040like in people. We know that hypercapnia or increased CO2 impairs kidneys functions. Your
01:37:55.480kidneys are actually trying to decrease the level of acidity in your blood. And so they're actually
01:38:02.580really doing a lot to retain, you know, basically to balance the pH. And so it really puts a lot of
01:38:10.420stress on the kidneys to balance the pH and balance your salt. And it reduces blood flow to
01:38:15.920the kidneys. And it actually, in many cases, can lead to chronic kidney inflammation, which we
01:38:20.520refer to nephritis. No one's even talking about this. Anybody measuring in our kids? No, I don't
01:38:26.000think so. All right. We have a sleep apnea model of hypercapnia, and that also causes a lack of
01:38:32.260oxygen. And what they see in these people is altered postural stability, altered ability to
01:38:38.980sensor environment known as proprioception, altered gait and increased falls, right? And this is what
01:38:45.400it looks like when your brain's not getting an oxygen. This isn't rocket science, okay? In the
01:38:51.300context of our children, their brains are still developing. And yet we think it's okay to deprive
01:39:00.520them chronically of oxygen. We have mitochondria that produce our energy and there's biochemical
01:39:06.700evidence that this is damaging the mitochondria because they're trying to work in an environment
01:39:11.000where it doesn't have what it needs again the body is out of homeostasis and it's put in a place
01:39:16.640where it's constantly trying to adjust but it can't adjust because you won't take the mask off
01:39:22.080molecular biologist there i do have a piece of bad news i want to leave you with but i'll tell
01:39:28.900you this i'm not sure if you guys have noticed this i mean this was just kind of a happenstance
01:39:33.340accidental experiment for me because as i was saying earlier in the show talking to jenny
01:39:38.200makaluk that you know i take the bus uh a lot around town and some people believe it or not
01:39:45.040are still wearing these breathing barriers when they get onto the bus not the majority
01:39:49.460not by a long way but definitely you know 15 to 20 depending on and you know what happens
01:39:58.540because i watch that's one of the things i watch people right i'm watching watching watching
01:40:04.380the people with masks on the breathing barriers they're all falling asleep seriously they're
01:40:14.680just kind of and we're talking about the middle of the of the day like one o'clock in the afternoon
01:40:19.36010 o'clock in the morning three o'clock whenever it's not like bedtime
01:40:22.660and there's but the people without the breathing barriers are fine
01:40:29.720why is that is it because of too much c co2 or not enough o2 or both
01:40:42.080anyway uh guys i do have this one story here that you may find alarming because what we've
01:40:51.160been hearing in Canada so far is that banks are going cashless, right? So you won't be able to
01:40:58.440withdraw any cash from a teller. You have to go to an ATM. And so far, that's been about it,
01:41:04.100at least from what I've heard in Canada. But look at what's going on in Australia.
01:41:09.320Aussie Bank begins linking customer transactions to their carbon footprint.
01:41:14.320Australia's Commonwealth Bank has partnered with COGO or COJO, I don't know, COGO, a carbon management solutions company to launch this new feature, which is part of CBA's online banking platform.
01:41:33.260so the the the sub headline here says in another foretaste of potential future carbon allowance
01:41:43.740limits a major bank in australia has introduced a new feature that links purchases to a customer's
01:41:50.160carbon footprint and warns them when they're going over the average so the bank gives the
01:41:57.440customer the option to pay a fee to offset their carbon footprint option at this point with the
01:42:04.000average listed at 1,280 kilograms a long way from the sustainable figure of 200 kilograms so here's
01:42:11.220what it might look like october footprint 520 in kilograms of co2 equivalent uh which is down
01:42:18.500from last month very good for you jimmy you're going to get more credits the government's going
01:42:24.400to give you more credits. You've been a good social citizen. A person's carbon footprint is
01:42:31.540calculated and then an equivalent metric is shown to make the customer feel guilty about it, such
01:42:36.940as eight trees being cut. So your carbon footprint will be, you've killed eight trees. Just for
01:42:44.740existing, you've killed eight trees. By combining our rich customer data and CoGo or CoJo's
01:42:54.020industry-leading capability in measuring carbon outputs, we'll be able to provide greater
01:42:59.080transparency for customers so that they can take actionable steps to reduce their environmental
01:43:04.020footprint, ComBank Group executive Angus Sullivan said in a statement. Sometimes I think I am reading
01:43:11.240a joke like the babylon b or something but this is an actual story guys the bank has promised to
01:43:20.300refine the calculation down to showing how much co2 individual purchases are responsible for
01:43:25.380so that's what it might look look like if you see something like that going on at your financial
01:43:31.460institution my advice to you would be to pull everything that you have out of that institution
01:43:38.820and look for another one that's not doing this and will never.
01:43:45.100So you walk into that branch, whatever it happens to be.
01:46:41.660I hope that was the equivalent of a teaspoon
01:46:43.780because that's all you need is a grownup,
01:46:45.560even less if you're a little kid, like a quarter teaspoon,
01:46:48.460maybe half a teaspoon a couple of times a day.

01:47:51.500and you can find them on the website in case you want to go and just buy them off the shelf
