00:04:00.000 Hello, everybody, and welcome to Shadow at Night.

00:04:50.480 show lined up for you guys tonight we're going to tell you all about it in just a second first
00:04:54.140 Let's see who's here tonight.
00:04:55.380 JJ is watching on Facebook tonight from Saskatoon.
00:04:59.900 Hello, JJ.
00:05:00.880 Christine is watching.
00:05:02.120 Haven't been able to watch in weeks.
00:05:03.620 Finally, Christine says, well, welcome back, Christine.
00:05:05.880 We're happy to have you.
00:05:06.740 Greg is watching in Kingston tonight.
00:05:08.360 Hello, Sally in St. Francis.
00:05:10.620 Hello, Joyce watching in Fort Capelle, Saskatchewan.
00:05:13.180 Linda is here tonight watching on Facebook, as is Ty Edna in Victoria.
00:05:18.140 Hello, Lynn watching in Maccaro, Northeast Ontario.
00:05:21.600 Carrie is watching tonight.
00:05:22.580 Rita, hello, Lorna.
00:05:24.140 In southeast Saskatchewan, Glenn is watching in Kenora, Ontario, as opposed to Kanora, Saskatchewan.
00:05:32.180 Bob is watching in Sudbury tonight.
00:05:33.980 Wayne and Patty are watching from Norwich, Ontario on X.
00:05:37.540 Okay, so if you guys are watching tonight on Facebook, this is very simple.
00:05:41.800 We have more information tonight with one of the organizers of the nationwide carbon tax protest,
00:05:48.700 which is set to roll all across the country on April 1st.
00:05:51.820 His name is Sam.
00:05:52.540 Sam is coming on in just a couple of minutes.
00:05:54.840 We also have a discussion that I recorded this morning with one of the coots for,
00:06:00.740 and that's Tony Olenek.
00:06:03.340 The audio is much better than the audio we had with Chris Carbert last night.
00:06:07.980 I made a point when we recorded this morning of trying to make sure we got the best possible audio.
00:06:14.800 And so, you'll be able to hear mostly, 98% of every word that Tony says in the discussion tonight.
00:06:22.860 We're going to get to that a little bit later on.
00:06:25.860 Okay?
00:06:26.380 So, if you're watching on Facebook tonight, this is very important, guys, that you get this out.
00:06:30.380 You share this to as many people as you possibly can.
00:06:33.220 Like and share.
00:06:34.300 That's how we beat this stifling algorithm that is reducing distribution of the Facebook version of this show, anyhow, to 5%.
00:06:41.620 I worked it out today.
00:06:43.440 I couldn't believe it because we're getting more views on Rumble and on X and on ShadowDavis.com
00:06:49.360 than we're getting on Facebook for some reason, even though that's where the bulk of the followers
00:06:53.640 of this show are. It's strange, don't you think? This shadow banning nonsense, but you can break
00:06:59.920 through the algorithms by liking and sharing. And that's why I ask you guys to do this. So if
00:07:04.440 you're watching on Facebook, you absolutely must do that tonight. This information is critical.
00:07:08.980 people need to hear what is going to be on the show tonight.
00:07:14.020 Also, if you're watching on X, same deal, not as bad, but still the same deal.
00:07:18.820 Get this out there. Repost this at hearted.
00:07:21.220 And if you're watching on Rumble, well, there's no stifling there,
00:07:24.480 but I want you to share it anyway.
00:07:26.460 So hit the share button beneath the screen.
00:07:28.220 That'll highlight the URL above the screen.
00:07:30.060 From there, you can copy and paste to your favorite social media platform,
00:07:33.380 email, or group.
00:07:34.360 Hello, Dyson watching in Winnipeg tonight.

00:09:41.400 Okay, when I first brought this group to your attention three nights ago, it was Monday night, I just only heard about it.
00:09:48.520 Hold the Line Nationwide Carbon Tax Protest that's coming up on April 1st.
00:09:53.620 There were barely 10,000 likes or followers of this group.
00:09:58.000 And now, when we scroll down just a little bit here, you're going to see 28,000, 28.2 thousand people have found out and joined this group.
00:10:07.460 And from here, this is the main group, but it's branched off into different areas of the country.
00:10:16.080 So you have one from Saskatchewan, Manitoba.
00:10:19.460 You have one from Alberta, Saskatchewan, BC, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Ontario, Quebec, and so on and so on and so on.
00:10:25.940 I want to welcome to the show right now, Sam Field.
00:10:29.080 Sam is one of the organizers of this big protest, which is coming up April 1st.
00:10:34.180 Sam, thank you for taking the time and coming on tonight.
00:10:37.240 We had a great discussion before the show began tonight.
00:10:40.640 Are you expecting as many people at these protests across the country as are following the group on Facebook right now?
00:10:48.540 Well, Shadow, first, thank you very much for having me.
00:10:51.220 And welcome, everybody, for tuning into this.
00:10:53.740 This is genuinely important.
00:10:55.940 I hope that we can get some more people than the 28,000.
00:11:00.740 I was definitely pleased to see the growth so fast.
00:11:04.480 That's definitely encouraging.
00:11:07.020 But I'm not surprised as we are grassroots
00:11:11.960 and this is a conversation that's already in everybody's kitchen.
00:11:15.660 The strain that is being put amongst us is very noticeable
00:11:20.560 and it's hitting us hard.
00:11:21.800 And come April 1st, it's going to hit us all a lot harder.
00:11:25.160 So I think the time is now that we can unite and get together and show, put some volume to the conversation in our parliaments.
00:11:38.460 You know, it's been interesting. We've seen different types of protests over the past couple of years.
00:11:44.360 We go back to the Freedom Convoy. Of course, there were local protests going on all over the country before that.
00:11:50.480 But usually these protests were based around whichever legislature in whichever province, right?
00:11:55.800 We're gathering at the ledge on Saturday afternoon.
00:11:58.120 We're going to be carrying signs.
00:11:59.580 There's going to be 300 or 400 of us show up.
00:12:01.620 We don't like what you're doing.
00:12:03.080 There's nobody there at the legislatures on Saturday, first of all.
00:12:06.760 There's no politicians.
00:12:07.840 There's no bureaucrats.
00:12:08.780 There's nobody there except for maybe security guards and parking lot attendants.
00:12:14.220 And so I was very, very happy to see that you guys had come up with a different strategy for this.
00:12:20.260 Yes, we have had cross-Canada protests before, or at least they've been attempted.
00:12:25.100 But the synchronization hasn't always been right, and the locations haven't always been right.
00:12:30.360 And then you've got the warring factions in whichever locality we're talking about.
00:12:36.360 But this is intriguing, Sam.
00:12:38.740 This is at the border crossings of every provincial border in the country.
00:12:45.200 Who came up with that?
00:12:46.000 Was that you?
00:12:47.200 No, it wasn't.
00:12:49.540 I've been following these.
00:12:51.500 You know, this is the group that has spearheaded most of this.
00:12:55.720 We've been together at different functions, and we appreciate one another.
00:13:03.520 I'm not exactly who's sure.
00:13:05.260 i believe adam came up with the the inner provincial and um the last time i saw him was
00:13:10.840 at the reunion um for the uh the trucker convoy that we had at the nova scotia alberta border
00:13:17.840 and he's talking about adam barkhouse by the way you guys and i spoke to adam on the phone the other
00:13:22.980 day and he said well i i don't know if i want to talk about this i'm gonna give it to sam sam can
00:13:28.840 be the talker whichever it doesn't matter energy that was the energy that was present merely at
00:13:35.440 our reunion there and all of us identifying the harm that is being done at an exponential rate
00:13:41.700 um we're all we're all feeling it real heavy and uh um the inter-provincial aspect of it you know
00:13:49.540 it is something that everybody needs to see um we are faced with a couple hurdles with the
00:13:56.540 location the the the geography of some of them so we're working on that but uh for the most part
00:14:03.700 if you can't be at one of the inter-provincial crossings you know you choose a choose a spot
00:14:08.640 that's important um your provincial office or your your municipal office or a federal office
00:14:13.920 the people i feel will get together and and organize that and as i we're emphasizing like
00:14:20.020 i'm i'm going there as as as me to be me and and and uh you know i'm carrying the uh i'm carrying
00:14:28.660 my family with me and i want to represent them in fine form and and and uh i've had an analogy
00:14:34.980 since ottawa that in the conversation we have to have traction and as a farmer you have to plow
00:14:40.980 the whole field and you have to seed the field and you have to harvest and every aspect of it
00:14:45.460 is very important in order to get the crop in and and provide all winter for either your family or
00:14:52.140 your herd or your community so that's that's the that's the take we're going to take on this and
00:14:58.380 keep it crisp and classy and professional and show them that there really is the canadian touch that
00:15:04.760 can awaken the the deaf ears in our parliament because they're not paying attention you know
00:15:12.340 to what's happening overseas um and they're they're not paying attention to us i had a
00:15:18.260 function on the weekend and we had some some local members of of our municipal office in there and
00:15:23.940 parliamentary office and they just said you know we we try we represent this many people and but
00:15:30.040 really in the end we're not being heard or you know it's not being heard in the proper manner so
00:15:35.240 i think together as canadians we can all stand firm and and stand together and and let them know
00:15:42.520 that this carbon tax is destroying our industry our families our farming um and we gave it a we
00:15:50.920 gave it a valiant effort we we've seen you know since 2017 we we've seen what they've tried to do
00:15:56.600 and we get the gist and it's not actually it's not actually happening and it's really harming
00:16:01.800 it's it's harmoning the people of this country yeah do you feel as though you're going to be
00:16:08.720 getting at specific border crossings anyway probably ottawa um i'm not sure if there's
00:16:15.720 going to be one in ottawa the ottawa got no bridge there i know that our friend chris daisy is trying
00:16:20.180 to get something going on parliament hill are you expecting any kind of opposition you know
00:16:25.260 people coming out antifa coming out maybe and yelling climate deniers climate deniers and are
00:16:31.300 you prepared for that absolutely absolutely um it's to be expected i mean anybody that's been
00:16:36.280 paying attention over the last couple years there uh the machine is fighting against the the truth
00:16:42.080 um and they're doing they're doing an all right job with it they're heavily funded to do so um
00:16:48.340 i'm not interested in giving the mainstream propagandist machine uh any of my time i will
00:16:54.920 definitely speak uh to the people that i see are genuinely helping um there is a lot that are out
00:17:02.260 there to be a hindrance and not a help and we're going to identify them and and treat them
00:17:06.780 accordingly um that's that's what that's what's carried us through thus far um as anybody that
00:17:14.000 was paying attention during the ottawa truckers convoy we stood the line and we did it to the
00:17:20.480 best we could until um enough was enough and we felt we did a we did a real good job and we we
00:17:28.560 we came home proud after that and i hope we can do the exact same thing here yeah yeah i have
00:17:35.560 confidence in in the canadian people um i have a repair facility in a little gas bar convenience
00:17:41.280 store and i i get the opportunity to talk to people um briefly every day and some choose to
00:17:47.160 come back and engage more further conversation and it's uh something has to be done right now
00:17:52.960 um they're they're they're they're chiseling away at the middle class because they know we're the
00:17:59.280 only ones that can stand up against them and uh the time i i feel this is this is a great opportunity
00:18:05.320 because april 1st is going to be a slap up the face to most people and it's going to hurt
00:18:09.960 and if they carry on the momentum they have by 2030 at uh whatever we had uh it'll be uh $170
00:18:19.180 per ton like that those kind of numbers i know they think the budget's going to balance themselves
00:18:25.240 and they don't choose to pay attention to monetary programs but we do we are definitely
00:18:32.040 paying attention to how little how little is left at the end of the day and uh yeah i i know that
00:18:39.120 once people feel the heart and sense the genuine passion for this and the
00:18:46.080 emphasis on the professional aspect, like we don't want to give them any rope.
00:18:50.060 We don't need to give them anything to slander us.
00:18:52.560 We are the Canadian people and we are identifying the harm that is being done
00:18:57.680 to us.
00:18:58.160 And if the parliamentary people don't have the voice and it's not being heard
00:19:02.260 because of the interference from others, then guess what?
00:19:05.880 we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna wake them up a bit and let people stand hold the line
00:19:11.120 shoulder to shoulder and be exactly what we are good people now sam we know that this is not a
00:19:18.240 political movement this is grassroots all the way but have you invited any politicians to come out
00:19:26.100 to any of the locations just to maybe talk to the people and tell them what the plan is or are you
00:19:31.740 No, this is on the individual. I mean, if they choose to come out and represent, they will be asked to represent under our code of conduct and anybody that chooses to show up and be a part of this.
00:19:48.540 And we are focusing on abolishing the carbon tax for all Canadians.
00:19:54.260 And, you know, if people can't get behind that and mind their P's and Q's and carry on with professionalism and, you know, pride for their country and their country mates.
00:20:06.720 And, you know, we'll cross those bridges when we get there.
00:20:10.800 But really, I think if we really show up and give it our all, we can prevail.
00:20:18.540 So we're talking about absolutely no violence. If you plan on coming out with any kind of weapons, I mean, like, because we know what's happened, you know, the last couple of years, even when people don't do anything, there's still going to be some kind of a plant.
00:20:36.040 So I guess my next question is, are you prepared for undercover, kind of like, you know, in Ottawa with that guy that we know was pretty much a CSIS agent carrying the Nazi flag or the Confederate flags around or planting weapons like at Coutts?
00:20:50.420 Are we prepared for that kind of a thing?
00:20:53.560 What are the contingencies?
00:20:54.660 I don't think anybody's ever prepared for it.
00:20:57.320 I think that's for the people that are watching the slander come across to filter out themselves.
00:21:03.860 I absolutely agree with you. They will try to to peg us as everything they can to try and maintain traction, maintain an agenda for themselves.
00:21:16.520 But that's where we can just all get together and document it.
00:21:21.640 You know, don't interact, don't interfere, just just get the get the footage of it and document it.
00:21:27.380 And so when it does, if we do have to go battle them in their legalese way, then we'll actually have our, whatever, cards in a row.
00:21:38.680 Ducks, ducks, ducks in a row.
00:21:40.480 That's it. Thank you so much.
00:21:42.040 The ducks.
00:21:43.240 So is there anything else people need to know, like parking? Are there logistical issues?
00:21:48.300 And I guess every border crossing is going to be different.
00:21:50.660 Some are in the prairies, some are through cities.
00:21:53.480 I mean, it's going to be a different situation at every single one.
00:21:57.380 Absolutely. And use your discretion. If it is too full, find the nearest parking lot. There'll be people in the area that'll be, you know, directing in a positive manner. Like we don't want to obstruct the traffic. We want the people, you know, as I was explaining to you earlier, it'll be like going through a paving session.
00:22:19.780 And, you know, you'll hopefully we can get the signage up in plenty of advance to let the people know that there's an event in progress.
00:22:27.060 And, you know, I'm willing to talk with all the liaisons, as I have at other events and let them know what is happening, why it's happening.
00:22:35.880 They know like I don't it's not this is this isn't a hard conversation to have with these people because it's in their living rooms as well.
00:22:42.640 every single person that is in canada can acknowledge that it's a little bit too much
00:22:49.120 right now for any of us to take and this is are you feeling more and more people sad i'm sorry
00:22:55.000 to interrupt you are you feeling more and more people are getting on board with this and people
00:22:58.140 are asking why because when trudeau whenever trudeau gives a press conference and he talks
00:23:02.860 to the left-wing corporate media you know he is very very married to the idea of imposing even
00:23:08.940 more taxes when people are suffering out there. They can't pay their bills. They can't pay their
00:23:13.400 mortgages. We have to save the climate. And he comes out with no proof ever. They never come
00:23:19.720 out with any kind of scientific data that shows that there's anything the matter and that we can
00:23:24.480 do anything about it anyway with a tax. But yet they keep feeding us this dogma. And are you seeing
00:23:32.720 that more people are starting to question things now? Maybe a little bit? Definitely. Our side is
00:23:37.700 not growing any smaller there's not many people that approach me and being like you know well
00:23:42.080 that trudeau is some nice fella and what he's doing you know that's that's over those days
00:23:48.420 are over and you know as far as i definitely want to make this evident this isn't a political thing
00:23:53.880 i'm not very impressed with any of our political options right now the whole the whole system is
00:23:59.660 it's it's unacceptable how they're treating the people that are paying their way um and it's not
00:24:06.020 You know, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm a mechanic. I have to be inclusive. I don't care where you're from,
00:24:11.680 what you do. You call me in the middle of the night, you're broke down. I, I, my, my destiny
00:24:17.380 is to come and try and help and come up with a solution that'll get you, you and your family
00:24:22.680 safely on your way again. And they're trying to repetitiously paint a vehicle with no motor,
00:24:30.460 no tires. And I can't get on board with, with what they're slinging right now. And it's, it's,
00:24:35.620 it's harmful so this is a good opportunity for us all to get together and and give them a hip check
00:24:42.020 and get it out of the groove and then we have to work together to keep them out of the groove
00:24:46.640 because it's a slippery slope where they're going and i think uh you know this is going to
00:24:52.280 you know if we can start and we can focus with this then it gives us a lot more confidence to
00:24:57.700 carry on and let the people know that you know the actions of one are actually quite mighty um
00:25:04.300 Because anybody that was in Ottawa for those days and saw what happened and if you breathed the air and felt the tension, it's a worthy fight to stand for your country because I don't want anybody else to take control of our country.
00:25:20.760 It's too precious to me and I know many people that feel the exact same way.
00:25:24.860 I know that the groups have broken down on Facebook into different area groups.
00:25:32.180 Like I said, there's a Manitoba, Saskatchewan, there's an Ontario, Quebec group hold the line nationwide carbon tax protest on these pages.
00:25:41.060 Are people going to be able to find what they should bring, what time it starts, how long they're going to be there, et cetera?
00:25:48.440 Pretty much you join the main page, then then join your local page.
00:25:54.600 There will be updates on it. Be prepared to stay as long as it takes.
00:25:59.820 There is no time schedule.
00:26:03.400 What do we got there?
00:26:04.560 And again, this is a Monday too, Sam, right?
00:26:06.580 Like this is not a weekend.
00:26:07.640 We're talking about a Monday here.
00:26:09.660 So people are going to have to prepare to take a day off work
00:26:12.660 or whatever their normal Monday schedule is.
00:26:15.640 You got to throw that aside and come on out to the closest border crossing.
00:26:20.400 There have been many people approach me and wanting to know as much as possible
00:26:24.020 so they can book the time off work.
00:26:25.860 It is definitely important to them.
00:26:27.840 um you know it's a good time of year for farmers calving season here's just about
00:26:31.920 you know uh we're probably halfway through it depends on when people were were planning it but
00:26:37.380 you know it's not the worst time to uh not go to Mexico on your vacation and you know maybe really
00:26:44.900 go out of your way and and sacrifice a bit for a really good cause and yes it is on a Monday
00:26:50.620 um I'm hoping this is not going to drag out and we do get a civil conversation with somebody that
00:26:57.600 can make a decision. It's been very evident to me that a lot of the mandates and rules and stuff
00:27:05.200 that we've had to go through the last couple of years, they've either been made at night or within
00:27:10.140 minutes and then they haven't gone through the proper channels. So maybe they can make that
00:27:16.220 exception for us and we can all go home and be contributing to our communities and our families
00:27:22.760 again. And so we have liaised with regional police in whichever district we need to, to make sure
00:27:29.140 that they know that we're coming and they're not going to come and try and break things up with
00:27:32.840 riot shields and tear gas and all of that. As it goes, the censorship is very strong. Every single
00:27:38.580 one of us is, I guarantee you, monitored beyond any normal person's belief. And I find it quite
00:27:45.460 pathetic, but I'm sure they know exactly what's going on. I have nothing to hide. I'm a very 0.91
00:27:52.000 honest person. And, uh, it's, it's the, uh, yeah, it's the miscommunication that'll help this
00:27:58.320 fail. So, uh, I want it to succeed. So we're just going to keep it very, very simple and, uh, that
00:28:04.620 we are there to, uh, to stand peacefully and, uh, for the, an undetermined amount of time, um, we
00:28:12.780 would like, uh, a public address from our prime minister announcing the elimination of the carbon
00:28:18.220 tax and that will be uh that'll be a great start and then that'll get rebuild some confidence in
00:28:25.660 canada that the people actually makes a difference oh you i mean you know that trudeau's a narcissist 0.60
00:28:33.620 right he's as arrogant as again and he is completely stubborn he is never i mean he like
00:28:39.160 he has been look at his poll numbers like he's sitting at 24 right now polyev is 20 points ahead 0.98
00:28:46.020 Politically speaking, he's dead. He has nothing to lose anymore. Do you honestly expect him to say, we're going to repeal the carbon? I mean, it just, this could be a very long, long protest is what I'm saying.
00:29:00.720 if we don't if we don't stop the momentum of this harmful tax it's gonna get a lot freaking worse
00:29:10.460 so i mean if we have to if we have to dedicate some some hard times towards the cause um i think
00:29:18.040 it's a very very worthy battle um and uh hopefully they can recognize what's happening around the
00:29:25.360 world and and and come up with some i mean the country clubs are definitely paying attention
00:29:32.020 there's no denying it and i don't know how to get in there and steal their golf balls so they can't
00:29:36.440 play golf until they address this so this is this is the next best thing right so um and let's not
00:29:43.980 forget too something like this really brings people together and you know it's interesting
00:29:49.200 i was at the chris barber event in swift current over the weekend and there were i'm going to say
00:29:54.140 100 people from Ottawa at the Freedom Convoy who were there.
00:29:57.880 Chris said it's such a nice feeling to be able to see these faces again
00:30:01.860 after such a long time and be able to reunite.
00:30:05.020 Not that that's what this is about, but it's kind of a nice secondary reward,
00:30:08.900 people getting together and seeing each other again,
00:30:10.780 and making new friends, for that matter.
00:30:12.700 I think it'll be very, very important for people to come and join this,
00:30:17.300 even if it's their first time.
00:30:18.840 This is your right as a Canadian citizen.
00:30:22.040 And the power that Ottawa brought me every time I am in the presence of a genuine freedom fighter.
00:30:31.660 I mean, the stories we tell and the prop that it gives you to succeed in fine form, it's real to know that, you know, when before before that ever happened, a lot of us were locked up and and we were thinking that, you know, we're sound of mind and we're trying to calculate why this is happening to our country.
00:30:51.720 And then all of a sudden Ottawa happened and you realized you weren't so you weren't so crazy and that that this didn't make sense to a lot of other good people.
00:31:00.460 And holy moly, you know, it went from 100 to 1000 to 10,000.
00:31:04.340 And then it's like, this is this is Canada.
00:31:07.380 And I was a mechanic on Wellington.
00:31:10.560 I was there for the duration.
00:31:12.420 I toured around repairing the cars and the trucks and meeting the people and the security blanket of the citizens of Ottawa that came.
00:31:21.720 You know, we made a lot of promises to some beautiful people that we would keep it clean and keep it crisp.
00:31:30.000 And, you know, we did until the other side was playing super dirty.
00:31:35.380 And we just all agreed that, you know what, it's not worth that.
00:31:38.260 Let's go home as heroes.
00:31:39.760 And we did.
00:31:41.100 So I hope we can bring that feeling to a lot of other people that really genuinely need it right now.
00:31:47.600 that that warmth in the heart of togetherness and you know um and just be what we're supposed
00:31:54.100 to be you know helpful if exactly if if you need me and this show for anything in the future the
00:32:02.400 next few weeks please let me know okay i appreciate that shadow i appreciate and we'll definitely get
00:32:07.940 it out there for sure and in the meantime folks go and now is facebook the only platform that you
00:32:13.820 guys are on with this or have you got a reserve platform someplace like telegram um like i said
00:32:19.460 because it's grassroots and we're all none of us are professionals at this so um we've been
00:32:24.940 reached out by people that are and uh like you said the sifting through uh the trolls and the
00:32:30.300 grifters we're trying to be very very careful um all of us that are involved have definitely been
00:32:36.600 um attacked or harmed or we acknowledge the fact that the ability for them to get in and
00:32:42.180 and and and mess with us is real so uh we're we're being a little bit more cautious and uh
00:32:48.920 we do apologize to some of the people that were on board right away we are uh we're gonna get this
00:32:54.760 done but like with everything we want to make sure that it's that it's done right because uh
00:32:59.900 i don't want to give them any anything to uh anything to hold over me during this because
00:33:06.300 this is this has to be expressed as 100 genuine to alleviate the harm that is happening right now
00:33:14.300 and it's just going to get worse over time if we don't if we don't get it get it under control and
00:33:21.580 you know before the carbon tax was ever implemented Canada's economy wasn't doing too bad you know
00:33:29.260 um i haven't seen anything that is has as you know made me feel warm and fuzzy that they've
00:33:37.020 done with the money the the millions billions of dollars that they've they've taken from our
00:33:41.720 pockets oh it's going back to you don't you know that you're getting rebates oh my goodness
00:33:46.880 climate action incentive payment like oh my goodness what a and that's that's a slap on the
00:33:52.820 other cheek you know that is classic politics um and uh and that and that's where we can go after
00:33:59.680 that i i'm i'm really pleased um that i i sit on another couple couple forums with with people
00:34:06.380 across canada and they're retirees and they're professional people and they're working on
00:34:11.000 on the municipal aspect of this too once there is exposure of the the harm that has been happening
00:34:18.600 and who's pulling the strings.
00:34:20.860 There are groups across Canada that have already submitted forms
00:34:26.620 for information, and the municipalities know that the people
00:34:31.940 aren't impressed.
00:34:33.880 So it builds me confidence to know that there's really good people
00:34:37.640 in the back that are willing to still stand up and fight
00:34:41.980 for this country.
00:34:43.320 Okay, my friend, we'll talk again soon.
00:34:45.420 Best of luck with everything.
00:34:46.480 And like I said, if you need anything, let me know.
00:34:48.600 And in the meantime, everybody on Facebook, go to Nationwide Protest Against the Carbon Tax.
00:34:54.200 We've already grown 400 members in the last 15 minutes, which is fantastic.
00:34:57.780 Thank you, Sam.
00:34:58.740 Right.
00:34:59.280 Thank you, Shadow.
00:35:00.000 I think we got something good going.
00:35:01.980 And I thank you very, very much for everybody to take the time and join us tonight.
00:35:08.180 And I look forward to hearing the numbers keep increasing and the support during the motion.
00:35:15.100 And if, like I said, if you can't get to an interprovincial border, a place of importance in your community or a bridge or wave your flag and just just let the let the people know that you've had enough of this, this carbon tax.
00:35:27.360 And hopefully we can we can do something about it.
00:35:30.840 OK, brother, we'll talk to you again soon.
00:35:32.600 Cheers, everybody.
00:35:33.580 All right. There is Sam Field.
00:35:35.160 He is one of the organizers of the big nationwide carbon tax protest, which is coming up on Monday, April the 1st.
00:35:43.100 And here it is again on Facebook, 28, hang on, let's refresh and see if it's 28.7 yet.
00:35:49.540 I see 28.6 thousand followers on this page, and three nights ago, it was under 10,000.
00:35:57.840 So, hang on, it's definitely spreading.
00:36:01.840 Nope, still 28.6 thousand, but we're doing good.
00:36:05.440 We're doing good.
00:36:06.140 We're going to get the word out.
00:36:07.120 So please, guys, go ahead and get it out there.
00:36:10.800 Share it.
00:36:11.360 It's important that 100,000, 200,000, 300,000 people at least know about this.
00:36:19.060 And we have a couple of weeks, over a couple of weeks, to get the word out.
00:36:23.600 Because the protest, again, is at every provincial border crossing in Canada on April 1st.
00:36:29.620 And all the information you need can be found on that Facebook group again.
00:36:33.860 Nation Dash Wide, Nationwide Protest Against the Carbon Tax.
00:36:38.640 Go find it, join the group, look around for all the information.
00:36:43.520 Last night we had Chris Carbert on the show. 0.97
00:36:47.460 He is one of the still-incarcerated coots four. 0.97
00:36:51.300 And that conversation was absolutely amazing to have with Chris. 1.00
00:36:56.480 Again, we wish him nothing but the best.
00:37:01.100 And admire these guys for the bravery they're showing inside.
00:37:06.280 Tonight, we hear from Tony Olenek.
00:37:08.840 Now, Tony has been in.
00:37:10.380 He reminded me this morning when we were talking
00:37:12.280 that yesterday was the anniversary of the 25th month
00:37:16.600 that these boys have been locked up without a trial.
00:37:21.000 Pre-trial starts again on Monday.
00:37:22.540 It goes all the way through March and April.
00:37:26.540 And then finally, their trial will begin in May,
00:37:29.460 if it gets that far.
00:37:30.920 It's quite possible this whole thing gets tossed out before then.
00:37:34.000 but I don't want to say that
00:37:36.440 with any guarantee of certainty whatsoever
00:37:38.400 because who knows what the crown
00:37:40.820 has got up their sleeve
00:37:42.360 so right now
00:37:44.220 and again the quality is going to be better
00:37:46.520 than last night, I made a point of that
00:37:48.400 I would like you guys
00:37:50.640 to sit back and listen to
00:37:52.180 just over 30 minutes, we're going to stay with this
00:37:54.660 until the end
00:37:56.000 before we sign off of social media tonight
00:37:58.220 and go directly to shadowdavis.com
00:38:00.500 by the way if you're not a member go sign up
00:38:02.120 for all access and the after show the extension which carries on probably tonight until at least
00:38:08.040 10 o'clock because i've got a lot more information to share with you guys uh that's not going to be
00:38:12.860 available on the social media show tonight but here is my discussion with tony olenek this
00:38:19.120 morning he is in lethbridge lockup and we began and let's hope the audio works here just not like
00:38:25.680 last night um we began with me saying good morning tony how you doing prior to the whole
00:38:33.600 pandemic starting in march in 2020 when all the lockdowns everything started to happen
00:38:38.820 i was a pure atheist like i was a very prideful man and i was honest but i was prideful and i was
00:38:48.120 always trying to one step up everything that i do and thought it was my own free will that
00:38:55.040 was making it all happen, but as 2020 came to me, and everything started going crazy
00:39:04.800 and wild like it was, and I started reaching out to my so-called close friends, a lot of
00:39:12.460 them were abandoning the sense of freedom and reality and listening to the narrative
00:39:19.880 and living in fear, terrified.
00:39:24.760 As I started reaching out and going to certain rallies and meetings and gatherings,
00:39:33.240 that's when I was like, wow, you know, all these people I'm meeting here
00:39:36.000 all have like a Christian background, a Christian faith,
00:39:38.500 and they're standing here in the same belief and without any fear.
00:39:42.820 So that's when I went, wow, this is kind of a new rebellion.
00:39:46.580 I'm a Christian.
00:39:49.120 Like it was in the old days, you know, we'll get a tattoo and get your ears pierced and listen to rock and roll music.
00:39:54.960 It's going backwards now.
00:39:56.840 It's going back to where it should be.
00:39:59.500 And so that's when I was like, oh, okay, wow, this is interesting.
00:40:02.180 So I started hanging out with more and more Christ-belief people and learning a bit, learning a bit.
00:40:08.660 But I always still never made time to really figure it out
00:40:12.380 and divest some time into reading the Bible
00:40:15.700 and understanding what was going on until I came to jail.
00:40:19.080 So really, jail is what saved me,
00:40:22.920 because I've been to that point now where I've sat down with the Bible
00:40:27.820 and read it and understand it
00:40:31.160 and put it into perspective on what's going on in the world out there.
00:40:35.760 It's such a complete mirror image of what happened before, and all the stories relate.
00:40:43.520 We can all relate to them.
00:40:45.900 So that's what's really given me hope, and that's what's given me a sense of courage
00:40:51.380 and security without fear, is knowing that everything's going to be all right.
00:40:59.780 Everything is going to be taken care of.
00:41:01.820 Everything happens for a reason.
00:41:03.380 And so when you ask, you know, how I'm doing, I can honestly answer, yeah, I'm doing fantastic because every day is one day closer to freedom, all of us, really.
00:41:18.960 and it's one day closer to our physical release from these walls
00:41:26.080 and it's one day closer to more unification with the society
00:41:32.820 and the community and the country and the world.
00:41:36.160 So, yeah, it's exciting.
00:41:38.620 I wake up excited.
00:41:40.120 I wake up with a smile on my face.
00:41:42.080 I wake up feeling starved and energized knowing that, yes,
00:41:46.660 it's going to be a glorious day one way or the other
00:41:48.760 It's inevitable. Love wins, and evil loses. Evil's already lost. It just hasn't really realized it yet, and it's going to try its last leg to make it stand, but we all know that that's not going to fail on their behalf.
00:42:08.600 They're not going to be able to put this movement, this power that has been unleashed
00:42:18.080 from pretty much the Freedom Convoy, roll it down the road, that's what.
00:42:23.200 They've opened a Pandora's box that cannot be closed again.
00:42:27.860 So it's just a matter of time for all that to work its way through the cracks.
00:42:33.220 And everyone is going to have to choose the side at some point.
00:42:37.120 There's no way people can remain neutral.
00:42:41.580 They can't sit on the fence.
00:42:43.680 It's either you're on the side of righteousness or you're not,
00:42:47.140 and there's no in-between anymore.
00:42:48.720 No more of this, what do you call it,
00:42:54.280 like the progressive conservative, if you want to say,
00:42:58.720 like somebody that's fiscally conservative and socially liberal.
00:43:04.680 No, you're going to choose either good or you're going to choose either bad.
00:43:09.080 So, I mean, some hard choices are going to have to come to everybody at some point.
00:43:14.040 And I believe the more we can help those people realize that, the easier the transition is going to be.
00:43:19.580 And it's not going to be just such a dramatic drop of a hammer, so to say, to wake them up into reality of what's really going on.
00:43:29.240 So those are the things that I look forward to, and I do see it in letters that I keep
00:43:39.200 receiving from people, and I speak to people that do writing letters.
00:43:46.000 Some of them now have been leaving their phone numbers, so it's been great to speak to them
00:43:50.180 in person and contact them and hear their stories and listen to what they have to say
00:43:55.960 and inspiring to hear that I help inspire them,
00:44:00.800 that really touches my heart when I hear that.
00:44:04.440 And kudos to that because it's a two-way street.
00:44:10.900 The love and support that I receive from comedy favorites out there,
00:44:15.980 it helps me as well.
00:44:17.480 That's an added extra strength that I can get from that connection.
00:44:25.960 And that's a bond that we're building from each other's faith and from each other's testimony
00:44:34.020 and from each other's experiences over the last few years.
00:44:38.200 So it works both ways, and it's very amazing to receive all that.
00:44:44.940 Anthony, you've talked about your faith, especially these past few years.
00:44:50.140 You've read the Bible, and you have become Christian, I'm going to say.
00:44:55.960 How often do they test that while you're in lockup?
00:45:00.220 What kinds of things have they done to test your faith?
00:45:07.000 They would uproot my living conditions.
00:45:10.200 So you get, you do that constancy to your living conditions.
00:45:13.620 And you get, you get kind of relaxed and you get into a groove.
00:45:19.220 And then they would uproot that, transfer me around to, you know, like for example, I was spending most of my time in Medicine Hat, and then they transferred me to Calgary, and then back to Westbridge during court hearings and all that stuff.
00:45:41.920 So it was like during those times, they would have to put me in a segregation unit
00:45:50.000 because I had all of a sudden this no-contact order with Chris Lyfe, I think Chris Carver.
00:45:57.640 So in the jail here in Lethbridge where Chris and Chris were, there's only two units.
00:46:03.080 One guy was on one of the units.
00:46:06.500 And so the other units that are available are not a general, well, they are a general population unit, but they're like an ALU, they call it.
00:46:17.260 So you're locked up 22 hours a day.
00:46:22.200 There's no free time like the other guys had on the GP units.
00:46:25.660 It was just pretty much because they put me in an intake unit where you have new inmates coming off the street suffering from drug withdrawals and stuff.
00:46:36.740 So there's a lot of screaming and banging on walls and all day, all night, and you're locked up 22 hours a day.
00:46:44.400 I mean, so that's one of the things both Jerry and I had to experience and was being in segregation and being in segregation during our trials, like during our, not our trial trial, but pre-trials that we were attending over last year and for weeks on end and stuff like that.
00:47:06.520 And we would be, he would be in one intake unit and I would be in a healthcare unit and they would switch us around a little bit.
00:47:15.640 So, you know, you're sitting there trying to concentrate on your faith, trying to concentrate on your thoughts.
00:47:23.120 And, you know, you're screaming and yelling and swearing and pounding and banging and just being locked up 22 hours a day in your 8x12 cell.
00:47:34.160 You've got to have a strong mind for that.
00:47:37.440 So I was very fortunate to just go into a meditation state and just pray and think.
00:47:46.640 Think about positive things and think about reasoning and why I'm here, how everything has happened throughout my life.
00:48:01.580 So it was a lot of time to reflect on a lot of things.
00:48:05.360 So I took a lot of time that way to do that, and it worked on my own inner strength.
00:48:10.740 So I managed to do it.
00:48:13.780 And fortunately now, I don't have to worry about being in this segregation living environment.
00:48:20.940 I made the Chris Lysak's old unit, where he spent most of his time,
00:48:25.180 I think they were in the downstairs unit when we first came here, and then the jail expanded and took another unit, an upstairs unit. 0.99
00:48:42.940 It was bigger than the downstairs unit, so they just moved more remand guys around.
00:48:49.840 So they've got bigger units for more remand,
00:48:52.040 so it just seems like they're keeping more guys
00:48:53.720 in this purgatory remand setting
00:48:56.080 where it's not a long-term living condition.
00:49:01.120 It's like maximum security, maximum...
00:49:04.080 It is, because we're not allowed outside.
00:49:08.420 Like, we can go outside in a little concrete courtyard
00:49:10.860 and see the sky when you look straight up,
00:49:12.920 but it's all surrounded by concrete walls.
00:49:15.600 All the windows are masked off
00:49:17.300 that you can't even see outside,
00:49:18.800 So the sun just kind of comes in a little bit through the windows there,
00:49:23.080 but otherwise there's no scenery, nothing to look at.
00:49:26.300 You're in complete isolation from the real world.
00:49:31.080 And so I can see even being on these main units,
00:49:35.060 where at least you're out eight hours a day instead of two hours a day,
00:49:41.960 you're still living in a purgatory where, you know,
00:49:46.220 you've got to have a strong base in your mind to manage through it.
00:49:50.660 I feel that's what breaks so many of these guys in here 0.99
00:49:53.920 and so many of these other inmates in here have stupid charges as well 1.00
00:50:00.400 where I believe the system dumps the kitchen sink on top of their heads 1.00
00:50:06.560 and forces them to take a plea deal because it's so overwhelming
00:50:11.160 and the living conditions are overwhelming.
00:50:13.720 It just breaks people quickly.
00:50:15.620 These people can take a plea deal, even though they might be guilty or not.
00:50:20.300 In a lot of cases, they might be guilty on a couple of things, but not all the things.
00:50:25.000 And it seems like there's more things than not that they get hammered with.
00:50:30.840 That goes on their permanent record.
00:50:33.720 They can't get employment.
00:50:35.660 It just makes their life pretty much stuck in a rut, where now they're a repeat customer.
00:50:41.400 And that's, I highlight the term customer
00:50:43.420 because that's exactly what the system
00:50:46.040 wants us to be, is customers.
00:50:48.800 They want these same guys to repeat,
00:50:50.940 come in and out, come in and out, come in and out,
00:50:53.380 just to feed their coffers,
00:50:55.360 just to feed off the taxpayer revenue
00:50:57.800 and continue on their business
00:51:03.660 and how they treat it.
00:51:04.900 It's not a rehabilitation center,
00:51:06.500 which society should be pushed towards
00:51:10.860 asking why. Why aren't we trying to really help these guys? And a lot of them want to go back
00:51:16.560 to society and their fathers and their family men. And, you know, they just want to go back
00:51:23.120 and support their family. And I mean, as we know, there's multiple other angles that are causing
00:51:29.000 the influx of prisoners these days, you know, high cost of living and all the stuff going on
00:51:34.720 out there, but I mean, we can, we know who to point the finger at that, not, not the
00:51:40.320 criminal, uh, criminals that are in these jails that are, are causing the, the stress
00:51:45.800 society.
00:51:46.780 It's obviously the, the bureaucrats and guys wearing the suit and tie politicians that
00:51:52.100 are causing the problems, uh, to make life harder for all of us, you know?
00:51:57.500 So, like, you know, I think, again, that's what we really need to focus on as our community.
00:52:05.380 But at the same time, we need to stick together on that and continue trying to expose more of this.
00:52:15.640 And that's kind of my plan here.
00:52:17.340 by all the thoughts that I've had, you know, in my mind, meditating and praying, I felt
00:52:23.800 that my new destiny is to be a spokesperson on what happens behind these walls and bring
00:52:29.380 light to the situation and bring light to all these inmates' lives and be able to be
00:52:36.620 a footstool for them to reach out to tell their stories, because a lot of their stories
00:52:41.620 need to be heard and told. The public would be flabbergasted
00:52:45.620 to hear from them personally what they've
00:52:49.560 experienced and how they've been treated and how their lives have been in custody.
00:52:54.380 And it'd be an eye-opener. It'd be a thousand
00:52:57.280 episode documentary if you really wanted to dig into it.
00:53:02.180 So again, I do try to help these guys
00:53:05.440 spiritually on their path. And Chris Carver and I, when we both
00:53:09.660 came, uh, when we were, we were together in the same cell, uh, for 14 days, they had us
00:53:16.620 quarantined. And it was funny how, uh, they, they, they, I refused to be tested for COVID
00:53:25.500 when we first came in and Chris was coughing. Chris was sick most of the time when he was
00:53:30.060 down at Coots. He was sleeping in his trailer most of the time there because he had a bad
00:53:34.380 cold and so when we
00:53:36.440 both came to Lethbridge Correctional
00:53:38.700 together
00:53:39.180 I'm sorry though but it's funny he had a bad call
00:53:42.400 man that's what it was
00:53:43.380 that's what it was
00:53:44.340 yeah I had a bad call
00:53:46.680 it's funnier how
00:53:48.180 he accepts the mouth swap
00:53:51.300 we were like we're not taking no nasal
00:53:53.180 swaps and I refused it
00:53:55.220 all because I was just not going
00:53:57.240 with it but he took a mob
00:53:58.720 you have
00:54:01.300 one minute remaining for this call
00:54:04.080 Oh, well, there's the one-minute mark.
00:54:06.140 I might as well just call you right back, and then I'll carry on.
00:54:09.260 Sounds good.
00:54:09.980 I'll be here.
00:54:11.560 Okay.
00:54:12.360 Right on.
00:54:12.880 Yep.
00:54:13.800 Kate at Lettbridge Correctional Center.
00:54:17.200 Three-way calls are prohibited.
00:54:19.180 Three-way calls are prohibitive.
00:54:21.120 This call is subject to recording and monitoring.
00:54:24.240 Rest alone to accept the call.
00:54:25.860 Thank you for using Tell Me.
00:54:28.700 So you were talking about the mouth swab and the nose swab.
00:54:33.140 before we got the one-minute warning.
00:54:36.120 You know, kind of overwhelmed.
00:54:37.820 I mean, Yale and here the government's trying to probe me already with something.
00:54:41.420 So I was kind of like, no, I'm not going to.
00:54:45.240 Okay, so what we missed here is I had to edit out,
00:54:50.140 because it was just garbled noise.
00:54:53.240 I had to edit out the part where Tony tells us that Chris Carbert,
00:54:58.540 and he was sharing this cell for a few days
00:55:01.760 when they first arrived at the jail.
00:55:05.700 And Chris Carbert tested positive for COVID-19.
00:55:12.200 Okay, so Chris tests positive
00:55:14.160 and now they're going to tell Tony
00:55:17.240 that he needs to take a test too
00:55:18.960 or he's not going to be able to go anywhere 0.52
00:55:20.480 and he's going to stay on wherever the hellhole they're in
00:55:24.320 before they get to move to another slightly better hellhole.
00:55:27.660 So we'll pick it up from there.
00:55:29.520 Many tests of it is gorgeous.
00:55:32.300 You know, let me get accustomed to my living condition here.
00:55:36.860 It was overwhelming, to say the least, going to jail for the first time ever in my life.
00:55:41.880 And then having to go to quarantine, which I was fortunately in the same cell with Chris.
00:55:49.660 So, you know, I had a familiar faith together.
00:55:54.300 And so we went through a quarantine cell.
00:55:58.500 Tony, I'm sorry to interrupt you.
00:56:00.340 We were only allowed out.
00:56:01.200 Can you explain the feeling that you had when you first entered this facility?
00:56:07.640 Did you know you were going to be in there for a while,
00:56:10.380 or did you think it was going to be a few days and then you'd be released?
00:56:14.020 My thoughts were so over the top.
00:56:16.700 I had a misunderstanding and everything else.
00:56:19.260 And the story was off.
00:56:20.260 So I thought, oh, we're just going to go in here, and just like we've heard numerous times again, oh, if it gets bail and you'll be out in a few days.
00:56:30.280 So it's like, okay, well, I did think I'm going to just have to stick it through for a day or two until everything got sorted out and organized properly.
00:56:40.480 And then I was not expecting to be staying in quarantine for 14 days, not alone, you know, still here two years later.
00:56:51.720 Well, actually, 25 months now.
00:56:53.440 Yesterday at 9.50 p.m. was the 25th month anniversary.
00:57:01.140 That's outrageous.
00:57:02.940 That's outrageous.
00:57:03.620 Anyway, you were saying that you and Chris Carbert shared that cell for 14 days, but you were in isolation.
00:57:12.420 And that was the very beginning of this journey.
00:57:16.480 Well, Chris and Jeff came back and he was a mouse-cloth.
00:57:20.460 They were saying, oh, Austin, COVID-19.
00:57:24.380 And we both started laughing at the cell going, what?
00:57:27.380 Like, really?
00:57:28.440 That's funny.
00:57:29.500 Uh, so, so then the nurse said to me, she said, well, you better get tested too, because
00:57:35.560 if you don't, uh, apply a test, you're going to have to continue to stay here until you
00:57:41.840 provide a negative test.
00:57:43.860 I'm like, well, what?
00:57:45.460 So that was terrifying.
00:57:47.440 So I, it's related to a mouth swab, I think seven days after, so on day seven, while we're
00:57:54.400 in there, uh, oh, think about this.
00:57:58.080 It's been seven days.
00:57:59.740 I've been in close living proximity with Chris Carvert in an 8x12 cell.
00:58:07.080 And they swabbed my mouth.
00:58:08.840 It comes back negative for COVID, the most dangerous transmissible disease in the world.
00:58:15.940 And here I am, you know, with a guy that's tested positive and I'm not positive.
00:58:21.460 So it just blows their whole narrative.
00:58:23.640 And I said that right to the nurse.
00:58:25.100 You know, I said, doesn't that seem kind of odd?
00:58:28.080 You know, deer in the headlight look like, I don't know what you're saying.
00:58:31.440 So they can't compute that.
00:58:36.300 But, you know, critical thinkers can compute that.
00:58:39.500 So anyways, I stayed there, and then they said, okay, once you're here for 13 or 14 days,
00:58:47.500 we're going to transfer you to a unit where you guys will have free time and be able to get out.
00:58:53.220 Because at that point, we were only allowed out, I think, once or twice a week.
00:58:59.000 I think it was maybe only once a week, to tell you the truth, for five minutes to have a shower.
00:59:04.160 Otherwise, it was a 24-hour walk-up.
00:59:08.100 And fortunately, one of the guards was compassionate and brought us a deck of cards and a crib board.
00:59:17.880 A crib left-blood card.
00:59:19.060 So he taught me his game that he played with his father all the time, Crazy Rummy it was called.
00:59:27.060 So we played Crazy Rummy and we played Crib.
00:59:30.140 And the chaplain lady came by and that was nice to then finally get a Bible.
00:59:36.700 So I started digging into that right away.
00:59:39.660 It makes sense of everything.
00:59:40.900 Something was telling me, oh yeah, you've got to get into this.
00:59:43.400 This is the time.
00:59:45.760 You guys are going to need this stability.
00:59:49.060 And so after that, Chris's test, you know, he was good.
00:59:54.480 I had to wait a few more days.
00:59:55.840 They moved Chris out of the unit, and I sat there by myself for two days.
01:00:01.140 And then finally on March 1st, I believe, somewhere in there,
01:00:06.140 they transferred me up to the unit where Chris and Chris, both were.
01:00:11.860 So it was nice to see Chris Leitzak as well.
01:00:15.200 He was there, and Chris Carvert was there, so we were together for a couple days, I believe, again.
01:00:23.800 So Chris Lysak went for his bail hearing, and then after denied bail, they then brought down the no-contact orders, which is funny.
01:00:35.220 Weird why all the inmates are saying, if you guys were all together at the start, why would they keep you together like that?
01:00:40.820 And then all of a sudden, they died after to put a no-contact order.
01:00:44.200 seem 50, but they're building,
01:00:46.380 they're trying to build a case
01:00:48.420 against us. And I'm like, right away,
01:00:50.620 people would told me that right at the beginning.
01:00:52.260 They're like, they're going to try to separate you
01:00:54.160 and segregate you guys and build
01:00:56.260 a case against you because they got nothing.
01:00:58.880 Because there is nothing.
01:01:00.980 And so as we've seen, you know,
01:01:02.380 later on, yeah, that all comes to play.
01:01:04.340 But so anyways, they moved Chris Lysak
01:01:06.260 out. I think Chris Carver
01:01:08.220 stayed on the unit for, we were there
01:01:09.780 five months together. At that
01:01:12.260 time, right away,
01:01:14.200 Chris Carver and I were doing some Bible study together, because we were just trying to...
01:01:20.520 He was interested in it as well, and something had told him prior to Coots, even, he was digging into it as well.
01:01:27.060 So it was kind of like, well, this is our destiny, and let's use our time effectively and wisely.
01:01:32.980 And something kept telling us to do that.
01:01:34.780 So while on the unit, we sat down together, and we started reading Scripture together, and we were talking about it.
01:01:42.220 And this wonderful Native fellow, he came up to us, and he was interested.
01:01:47.800 His name was Chester.
01:01:49.320 And he was interested in what we were doing, and he was making a change in his life as well.
01:01:56.140 Coming from a long history, criminal background, gang stuff, and violence, and everything that he was involved with,
01:02:07.040 he was doing 180 return.
01:02:08.960 He was done with his lifestyle.
01:02:10.300 So he latched on to us, and all of us three started a Bible study on the unit.
01:02:18.260 And every day at 8 p.m., we would sit in the corner.
01:02:21.680 At one point there, we had, you know, an average of probably 6 to 10 or 15 inmates every day coming there.
01:02:30.440 We were helping each other.
01:02:32.440 It was a wonderful thing.
01:02:33.820 The unit was calm and peaceful.
01:02:36.400 There were very few fights, maybe one a month.
01:02:38.900 maybe and it wasn't
01:02:41.000 they weren't even bad
01:02:42.200 there wasn't tension or
01:02:44.780 animosity on the unit
01:02:46.000 it was peaceful and great
01:02:48.520 so it was good for 40 guys
01:02:50.860 living in close proximity
01:02:52.600 of each other
01:02:53.220 you need to keep the tensions down and keep the adrenaline
01:02:56.860 and all that from
01:02:58.020 taking over anger and pride
01:03:00.740 and all that stuff
01:03:01.460 and I do believe to this day
01:03:04.040 and I know for a fact that Chris is still doing it
01:03:06.520 he's still running the bible study
01:03:08.400 in the unit and so i mean that's uh pretty fantastic to hear yeah he mentioned that yesterday
01:03:15.200 um what are you know what you sound so positive and upbeat and i can i can't even uh come close
01:03:24.480 to being in your shoes and i don't think anybody really could what are some of the
01:03:31.360 most terrible things that have happened to you i mean you said you spent some time in calgary
01:03:37.280 where jerry moran was and that's a gang facility or at least that's where most of the gang members
01:03:44.320 go and when you're in isolation like that i mean how how is that i've never put myself in
01:03:51.200 anything like that before why would i why would anybody how do you cope with that
01:03:57.120 i dreaded going to calgary in the sense that i would sooner go to 22-hour lock-up mean
01:04:01.920 in solitary segregation, in a leopard scale, as opposed to going to Calgary, being in those
01:04:10.700 general policy units where the gang units are, and having free time, because computers
01:04:16.020 just want to be quiet and left alone and not be dealt dealing with the drama.
01:04:21.460 And fortunately, when I was in Calgary, they did put me for two weeks in the heaviest unit,
01:04:27.040 and Unit 1B in Calgary, and stuff was attention, like there's gang politics involved.
01:04:38.960 Fortunately, when I got in there, I had this time with one of the main gang leaders that
01:04:46.120 was in, he was in Medicine Hat, and so when I got there, it was a matter of just who you
01:04:52.360 know, the questions you get asked, everyone digs into your situation, and then when they
01:04:56.700 find out oh you're one of the freedom guys you're standing for our uh for our rights yes standing
01:05:03.220 for your children and your rights and everybody's rights so i'm a neutral guy i'm here for all of
01:05:08.740 you it's quite interesting and intimidating at that point when i was in the in the courtyard
01:05:14.460 in the basketball court concrete courtyard when i first got there i went outside i was talking to
01:05:21.120 one guy and then I got surrounded by oh 10 of them 10 of these guys all these guys come out
01:05:27.660 with their shirts off they're all suntan and it was July when that happened it was hot I was during
01:05:32.420 the stampede right when the stampede started so and they're all standing there their arms crossed
01:05:37.580 and they're all you know sitting there interrogating me asking me what my situation was because I'm the
01:05:43.440 new guy in the unit so they want to like figure out who I am and it's quite the intimidating thing
01:05:50.140 I'm staring at all these guys, and I'm looking at them all, you know,
01:05:52.480 and every single guy has scars on their body, on their arms, on their chest,
01:05:55.880 on their back, on their faces, like, night wounds, bullet holes, like, everything.
01:05:59.480 All these guys have been through some serious trauma in life, and sadly.
01:06:05.300 And so that was a very intimidating spot there going,
01:06:09.100 wow, you know, these guys, this is their lifestyle, this is their livelihood.
01:06:15.000 But they were, like I said, I was respected and I was welcomed pretty well.
01:06:21.480 And so I was grateful for that.
01:06:23.460 And I told my story to those guys and explained everything.
01:06:28.020 And they were really well.
01:06:31.100 There was an incident that happened on that unit where my cellmate and some of them guys had some kind of an issue.
01:06:42.080 I don't know what that involved in the politics, but one of the guys came up to me and said,
01:06:49.360 look, we respect you, we know who you are, so we want you to, tonight, to stay extra longer,
01:06:57.500 take some extra time and fill your coffee cup over at the sink, and don't go to your
01:07:03.180 cell right away at lock-up, because we're going to go and we have to have a chat with
01:07:06.700 your cellmate that I met and I knew that was pretty much code for six guys are going to rush
01:07:12.440 into my cell and beat up this guy and they didn't want me around otherwise as a witness or anything
01:07:19.780 see what was going to happen so it was a courtesy thing telling me to stay away and so that was
01:07:26.660 overwhelming at a point too going wow thanks thankfully they did that because when I was
01:07:31.740 talking to other guys about it they're like normally they wouldn't do that they would just
01:07:34.780 rushed into the cell and whoever's in there if they have beef with one guy they're going to
01:07:39.100 pretty much knock out whoever else is in there so no one sees what's going on or the intimidation
01:07:43.840 factor of don't go and tell the guards what's going on or anything like that so they wouldn't
01:07:48.160 even ask questions so that was a kind of a dodged uh i dodged a bullet there so to say uh but
01:07:56.880 thankfully again i i was grateful for talking to them and and and uh telling them my story
01:08:03.780 And it was grateful for them to, you know, take me out of that equation and give me the sense of stay out of there for a while and you'll be fine.
01:08:13.800 We're not going to bother you.
01:08:15.680 So there was multiple situations like that with other inmates in the unit.
01:08:20.360 Like it was, and again, in Calgary, it was still locked down quite a bit.
01:08:25.440 After the fight started, it went on pure rotation.
01:08:28.500 So you were only out three hours a day as well.
01:08:32.040 By the time things really heated up, they would lock down the unit for a couple days for three hours.
01:08:38.740 You get three hours out and half an hour here, half an hour there, an hour there, an hour there type thing.
01:08:44.860 And that was it for your day.
01:08:47.360 So, yeah, that's kind of the stories that, you know, I wish people could just see.
01:08:55.360 I just went to those guys who had stopped that, and I did sit down and talk to their leaders a few times and said,
01:09:02.380 look, you guys, this is the whole, the system has done this to us.
01:09:06.180 The system is the one that's trying to segregate and divide us.
01:09:10.100 I mean, you've got to put this petty politics away and start respecting your fellow man.
01:09:15.660 Like, each one of these guys in here, you know, has an issue yet, but why are we trying to make it harder on each other?
01:09:24.480 We could unite together and make it harder on the establishment for controlling us.
01:09:31.520 But, you know, they get it.
01:09:32.660 But they're like, well, I wish we could all do that.
01:09:34.960 But I'm like, well, it all starts with you.
01:09:36.740 Like, oh, each person could make a difference.
01:09:39.040 You know, I'm like, you guys need to lead by example and try to find the right people
01:09:44.700 that are willing to go over there and sit down and discuss your guys' issues and beats
01:09:51.060 with the other gang guys
01:09:53.320 and maybe come to an agreement
01:09:55.260 and work together
01:09:56.080 and, you know,
01:09:57.800 you're all living
01:09:58.360 in the same center.
01:10:01.540 Why make it harder
01:10:02.640 for everybody, you know?
01:10:03.940 Because, I mean,
01:10:05.060 what goes around comes around
01:10:06.400 and I've heard
01:10:07.100 so many horror stories
01:10:08.600 like this,
01:10:09.720 independent entries
01:10:10.740 and everything,
01:10:11.620 this stuff kicks off
01:10:12.580 all of this all the time.
01:10:15.080 There's fights
01:10:16.000 and multiple guys
01:10:17.280 get beat up
01:10:19.000 and multiple guys
01:10:20.040 get stabbed
01:10:20.940 And, I mean, the improvised weapons that are being made and concocted are just unbelievable.
01:10:27.920 So I went, why? Why are we doing this?
01:10:30.260 Tony, did you ever think that you would be in a position like this?
01:10:34.200 And when you get out of this, and we know you're going to, it's only a matter of time,
01:10:38.940 and maybe pretrial, even starting next week, will expose the crown and the tampering of evidence
01:10:47.660 and the collusion with RCMP.
01:10:49.680 Maybe, maybe who knows?
01:10:52.520 What are you going to do when you get out?
01:10:55.140 Are you going to go back to the way things were?
01:10:57.800 I know you mentioned earlier that this is maybe your new calling, you know, like maybe you're, you're going to be spreading the word.
01:11:05.380 Are you going to go back to a facility like the one you're in now and just talk to guys?
01:11:09.680 I'd definitely like to be involved in Stapleton's service and maybe go to different sales and speak with Stapleton, with inmates and tell my story.
01:11:23.800 and as well as I want to be able to be, like I said, a footstool for other inmates that have met me
01:11:33.020 that want to share their story, that they can then hopefully have a platform
01:11:38.960 with their story across society to hear.
01:11:42.520 As I said, I do believe their stories need to be told so we can, as a society,
01:11:48.260 make change that's going to benefit us all and not be a detriment to society.
01:11:53.800 So, yes, as much as I love the smell and sound of diesel fumes and I miss moving dirt, like I love the smell of fresh topsoil in the morning sitting in an excavator with the windows open and stripping topsoil, something about that smell is amazing.
01:12:11.480 And the smell of a C-15 cat engine being cranked over and sitting in a truck and idling and working.
01:12:20.440 I just miss all the smells and I miss all the activities and the work because I'm a workaholic.
01:12:26.340 I love to work, do things like that, construct and build.
01:12:30.420 And I do feel that my new calling is just to, you know, what's the sense of having, going back to really normal, if you want to say.
01:12:43.460 I don't believe that exists right at the moment.
01:12:45.860 I do believe we just, we have a bigger, bigger priority on the horizon that we all need to attend to.
01:12:54.680 You have one minute remaining for this call.
01:12:58.780 All right, Tony.
01:12:59.620 No, no, no. We've got one minute.
01:13:02.880 What do you want to say to the people here who are listening to you right now?
01:13:09.700 I just want to say off my heart,
01:13:13.500 their support and their love and their letter writing and their donations,
01:13:20.160 everything helps all very much appreciated and needed.
01:13:24.220 But what we're trying to expose here is going to benefit everyone together.
01:13:30.700 Our quest that we're on right now is a giant one.
01:13:34.880 So I still need help to battle them with paying lawyers and costs.
01:13:42.180 I've invested $561,000 of my own money, and it's literally put me in bankruptcy.
01:13:48.140 My company has stepped down, and I'm personally bankrupt.
01:13:50.620 So I'm trying to.
01:13:55.660 And that is where he got cut off.
01:14:06.920 20 minute blocks.
01:14:09.540 So what I'm going to do with this, you guys, is put up these two interviews.
01:14:13.680 Last night's interview with Chris Carbert and today's interview with Tony Elenek.
01:14:19.140 I'm going to put them on the website, shadowdavis.com, shadowdavis.com.
01:14:24.480 So it's going to be available to all access members on the website.
01:14:28.600 Those interviews will be going up tonight or tomorrow individually.
01:14:32.520 So they're not going to be a part of the show, not packaged with the show.
01:14:36.300 And so you'll be able to just go and listen at your leisure to the interviews.
01:14:39.680 And they're not even really interviews as much as I just say, guys, go ahead and talk.
01:14:44.040 Go ahead and tell us what's going on in your lives, what's been going on in your lives,
01:14:48.260 how you feel right now, your frustrations, your fears, your joys, all of that.
01:14:55.460 And again, that's going to be available on ShadowDavis.com,
01:14:59.600 coming up very, very, very soon, either tonight or very early tomorrow morning.
01:15:03.580 Speaking of ShadowDavis.com, I still have more to cover.
01:15:06.440 You guys are not going to believe what the Toronto police said to the residents of Toronto today
01:15:15.020 regarding car thefts and home break-ins.
01:15:21.720 You're not even going to believe it.
01:15:23.980 I'm going to reveal what this is in the next couple of minutes.
01:15:26.400 Also, hey, finally, Canada decides to take some diplomats and people out of Haiti
01:15:30.900 because, you know, there's cannibalism going on there.
01:15:34.420 That's coming up in the extension in two minutes
01:15:37.460 for all Access members on ShadowDavis.com.
01:15:40.780 So if you're going there, if you're watching there right now,
01:15:43.540 we'll see you in two minutes.
01:15:44.400 If not, you're watching on social media, Twitter or Facebook or Rumble.
01:15:48.640 Why aren't you a member?
01:15:49.920 Come on over and say hello.
01:15:51.120 It's fun back there.
01:15:52.080 But if not, I'll catch you tomorrow night at 8 o'clock central for another Shadow at Night livestream.
01:15:58.260 I love you all.
01:15:59.160 I appreciate you all.
01:16:00.420 And we will be back tomorrow.
01:16:14.400 We'll be right back.
