00:00:30.000 good day and welcome to the cory morgan show i am indeed of course cory morgan this is the
00:00:39.880 western standards weekly show to cover news issues i talk to interesting guests offer you
00:00:46.080 my opinions and rants and for those who are tuning in live we got the opportunity to interact some
00:00:51.440 questions my way questions to the guests uh or even have some discourse amongst each other i
00:00:56.240 see Mr. Stanley already checking in there in the comment scroll. As always, I just like to remind
00:01:00.700 everybody, keep it civil. We can get rough and tough on each other and Twitter and spots like
00:01:05.780 that. But on this show, we do want to stay polite with each other, even if we hold strongly held
00:01:09.580 views. If you didn't hold strongly held views, you probably wouldn't be tuning in already.
00:01:13.460 And boy, there's just so much to cover these days. It's exhausting. You know, in summertime,
00:01:17.000 I had to sit and scratch my head and wonder what to write about week by week or what to talk about
00:01:21.500 because things get a little slow and so on. Right now, it's just a matter of trying to
00:01:24.800 pair it down to the few subjects that I can cover in this period of time we have together. So
00:01:29.840 I'll get right to it. Good to see you there, checking in there, Jake out in BC. So yeah,
00:01:35.240 I've got some things to go on about as well. I got a guest coming on a little while, Dr. Robert
00:01:39.340 Dixon. We're going to talk about water fluoridation. Yeah, this is a subject that just keeps coming
00:01:44.600 and going and coming and going. There's plebiscite sits on, it's off. It looks like Calgary is moving
00:01:49.300 back into it soon. And some people, including Dr. Dixon, have some serious concerns about it. So
00:01:55.680 we'll chat about that and look at some of the issues going on with that subject. I mean, I got
00:02:01.240 to admit, I get more inclined to saying, I just wish it'd be over and leave it in the background.
00:02:04.640 But obviously, a lot of people are still seriously concerned about it. And if they're concerned about
00:02:09.300 it, it's their water, and they should have the right to talk about it and express those concerns
00:02:13.900 on what might be happening with that going into the water supplies. All right, but I'm going to
00:02:17.440 go on the national scene here for a bit. And what's got me going right now. So we got Justin
00:02:22.460 Trudeau. He's on the political ropes and Jagmeet Singh knows it. So Singh's calling for a new tax
00:02:28.000 to pilfer the profits of Western Canadian energy companies. And he won't have to twist Trudeau's
00:02:33.380 arm all that hard to get it. Now heat pumps. Yes, they've become the environmentalist flavor of the
00:02:38.600 week. It's kind of hard to say why. I mean, heat pumps have been around for decades. They never
00:02:43.000 really came into popular use because they don't work very well in most Canadian regions and they
00:02:47.880 cost a fortune. Even with a $5,000 rebates from the taxpayers on those things that have been
00:02:53.440 around for a while, not many people are taking up heat pumps. They're a lot like solar panels
00:02:58.220 on homes. They offer a supplemental source of energy, but really aren't economical for most
00:03:02.880 people. At least not yet at this point. The technology might get better later, but it's not
00:03:06.500 here yet. I mean, insurance companies won't cover homes with heat pumps if that's the only form of
00:03:11.020 heat in the household. They know that the pumps are likely to fail during cold snaps. And then
00:03:15.400 of course you get the ruptured water pipes and freezing and it causes catastrophic damage.
00:03:20.180 So you still end up having to pay for gas service and maintain a furnace on top of paying for a
00:03:25.580 heat pump. I mean, if you were with gas to begin with, and that pump could cost you $10,000 to
00:03:28.700 $15,000 to install and suddenly it just doesn't look all that appealing, does it? Not to mention
00:03:33.080 heat pumps use a whole pile of electricity. They're sort of like reverse air conditioners
00:03:37.200 and homeowners can look forward to a spike in their electric bills, even if there's a modest
00:03:42.000 decrease in their gas heating costs if they switched over or whatever other source of heat
00:03:45.860 they used. All the same, to be fair, they offer one option among many for home heating and cooling.
00:03:51.780 Some people in moderate climates have said they work really well for them for some air conditioning
00:03:54.880 and heat, but we're not in a moderate climate. That's the problem. But either way, hey, if it
00:03:59.660 works for you, good for you. I have no issue with that choice. The problem comes when the government
00:04:03.980 taxes me, though, to pay for somebody else's heat pump, then I have a problem. Because like
00:04:08.380 electric vehicles, people aren't inclined to buy these heat pumps without huge subsidies. Also,
00:04:14.260 you know, the subsidies are going to have to be massive to encourage large numbers of people to
00:04:18.080 invest in systems that just don't work well for them. So why have we got this sudden big push for
00:04:22.060 these pumps? Well, Trudeau recently stepped in it. Nothing new. He cut the carbon tax for home
00:04:27.580 heating for people in Atlantic provinces who use heating oil. It was a crass move to try and buy
00:04:31.820 electoral love from the East Coast, and it blew up in his face. In a bizarre attempt to justify
00:04:36.520 the move, Trudeau said it was to encourage people using heating oil to switch to heat pumps.
00:04:40.980 Now, how would making it cheaper to use heating oil, you know, how would that encourage people
00:04:46.380 to move away from heating oil in the first place? It's a mystery only Trudeau could understand.
00:04:51.260 Still, this move brought heat pumps, which had previously been a seldom-used heating option
00:04:56.120 into Canada, into the spotlight. It fits in with the environmental obsession of making everybody
00:05:01.280 moved to electric forms of energy, despite the lack of electric infrastructure being in place to
00:05:05.680 make it feasible. It also ignores the fact that much of the electric power in Canada still comes
00:05:10.420 from coal and natural gas. But again, we understand it's virtue signaling. It's not about reality or
00:05:14.320 the environment. Jagmeet Singh knows people aren't willing to invest in heat pumps. So like a good
00:05:19.000 socialist, he feels the government should do so on the people's behalf, even though it's our money.
00:05:24.080 The costs to convert every home to heat pumps would run into the hundreds of billions of dollars,
00:05:28.760 at least that's according to Western Standard energy writer Sean Polzer, you can look that up
00:05:32.720 on there. Even if houses that were already just on pure electric heat were excluded from that,
00:05:36.800 the costs would be astronomical. Now, Singh might be economically witless, but he does know
00:05:42.380 the government doesn't happen to have a couple hundred billion dollars laying around. That's
00:05:45.900 why he's proposed stealing the money from energy companies with what he's, of course, calling a
00:05:49.600 windfall tax. You don't hear about those taxes when oil was near $10 or $5 a barrel, of course.
00:05:54.660 and never mind the reality that even if the government stole every penny from the energy
00:05:58.740 company profits, they'd barely get over $40 billion. Never mind that the companies would
00:06:02.820 flee Canada in such a circumstance and never mind how it would decimate the pension funds and
00:06:06.840 savings of Canadians. Singh sees a target and in his simplistic economic world, he would just
00:06:12.240 propose nationalizing energy companies if they didn't cooperate anyways. I mean, it worked like
00:06:15.260 a charm in Venezuela, didn't it? While I doubt the government would be so bold as to scoop the
00:06:19.320 entire profits of energy companies, it's very believable they would make a large grab for them.
00:06:23.900 Trudeau's floundering, and Singh is a slave to a socialist ideology.
00:06:28.260 Neither party has anything to lose in enraging the prairie provinces.
00:06:32.580 The policies of the government don't make sense
00:06:34.080 because the government isn't even trying to make sense anymore.
00:06:36.780 Trudeau's throwing everything he has at the wall
00:06:38.600 in hopes of somehow turning about his plummeting political support.
00:06:41.740 And Jagmeet Singh is working to take advantage of the government's weakness.
00:06:45.480 Get ready for it, folks.
00:06:46.400 Get ready for the National Energy Program Part 2 as the Liberals hit the wall
00:06:50.300 because the Liberals and NDP won't be able to restrain themselves for much longer
00:06:53.680 and Justin would be more than happy to join in with Singh
00:06:56.240 and try and do to Alberta what has Dada failed to do the first time
00:07:00.840 with the National Energy Program.
00:07:02.240 Be on guard, guys.
00:07:03.320 Singh's calling for it and Trude will be listening soon.
00:07:06.360 All right, that's what's got me wound up today.
00:07:08.460 Let's see what else can get me pissed off and worked up
00:07:11.040 and talk to our news editor, Dave Naylor, and see what else is going on there.
00:07:14.580 Hey, Dave, how's it going?
00:07:15.820 It's going great, Corey, but just a quick story to tell our viewers
00:07:19.340 and listeners out of the UCP convention in Calgary, 3,700 delegates on the weekend.
00:07:26.020 We were attending a session on Friday afternoon, and it was packed.
00:07:31.640 And a nice lady asked if she didn't mind sitting at the media table.
00:07:35.560 And I said, sure.
00:07:36.780 And then when she found out there was a whole bunch of Western Standard people there,
00:07:40.460 she just lit up and said, oh, I love what you guys do.
00:07:43.320 I read all your stuff.
00:07:44.360 I watch all your shows.
00:07:45.360 But more importantly, I just love that Cory Morgan guy.
00:07:48.860 just love them so of course we all rolled our eyes and you weren't there but uh i ran into her the
00:07:55.060 next day and she said that she was able to meet you and standing by you on the convention floor
00:08:00.220 it was like you were a rock star people kept coming up to you oh cory you're so great oh cory
00:08:04.900 you're so great i happened to notice they were they were all women so uh i mean holy cow you
00:08:11.160 hit it out of the ballpark uh cory at the on the weekend i seem to have a distinct reader demographic
00:08:16.320 I mean, for the most part, the women tend to be a little of our vintage as well.
00:08:20.740 We're not talking about the young ladies throwing their panties.
00:08:23.160 It's more like the retired ones throwing their depends.
00:08:25.180 But I still appreciate people coming to show their appreciation of my show and my writings.
00:08:31.440 It was pretty interesting at the AGM.
00:08:34.480 Yeah, and there's nothing wrong with people of our vintage, Corey.
00:08:36.820 Come on.
00:08:37.380 No, not at all.
00:08:39.220 Not at all.
00:08:39.920 So it's been a very busy morning here at Western Standard World Headquarters, led off by the as promised UCP dismantling of Alberta Health Services.
00:08:51.740 It's a massive undertaking, very complicated, but basically they're going to take everything, all responsibilities away from AHS, except for hospitals, acute care.
00:09:04.840 They are setting up, you know, special bureaus, bureaucracies to run things like mental health and addiction and seniors care.
00:09:16.640 So it's going to be a very, very interesting few years ahead for AHS or what's left of it.
00:09:23.240 And as you know, Corey, the Premier Smith campaigned on that very issue of blowing up AHS.
00:09:30.440 Rebecca Schultz is mocking her good friend Stephen Gilbeau for failing to meet emissions targets.
00:09:37.480 The report was out yesterday from a federal watchdog that said the Liberals are failing miserably to meet emissions targets.
00:09:46.740 Our best friend of the Western Standard, Gil McGowan, and NDP leader Rachel Notley is chiming in with their disgust
00:09:54.780 over the fact that Premier Smith will be sharing the stage with Tucker Carlson
00:09:59.940 at an event in Calgary in the new year.
00:10:03.000 And I understand tickets are selling like hotcakes.
00:10:06.840 So if you did want to go, you better get yours quickly.
00:10:10.760 The London Cenotaph down in Whitehall in London
00:10:17.120 is being closed to the public this Sunday for the big Armistice Day celebrations.
00:10:21.900 Authorities fear that an expected march of tens of thousands of pro-Hamas supporters
00:10:27.960 would try and disrupt the Remembrance Day ceremonies.
00:10:33.480 So police are blocking off all roads leading to the Cenotaph
00:10:37.160 and will not allow the public anywhere near it.
00:10:40.320 If you're a fan of CBC, and we all know that nobody is,
00:10:44.840 this hour had 22 minutes, had Premier Smith on last night,
00:10:49.820 And they were joking about Gilbo's plans for for for home heating systems and whatnot.
00:10:55.800 So apparently it was it was quite funny. And what else is worth mentioning?
00:11:00.620 Oh, if I don't know if you're if you cook with olive oil at all, Corey, but apparently that is now shot up in price to where is a barrel of olive oil is 50 is 15 times more expensive than a barrel of crude oil.
00:11:15.800 So that's interesting.
00:11:17.640 Our Sean Poulter has all the details of that are up there now.
00:11:22.480 So that's what we've got for now, Corey.
00:11:25.520 I understand I'll be joining you on the pipeline tonight.
00:11:29.660 So I look forward to that.
00:11:31.020 You bet.
00:11:31.580 And yes, you have.
00:11:32.460 You know, you tend to throw a curveball at me at these news check-ins every time,
00:11:35.640 but I have to, but you've really actually managed to embarrass me a little this time, Dave.
00:11:38.760 So good work.
00:11:40.080 Thanks.
00:11:40.760 And I'll see what I can do to you on the pipeline.
00:11:43.220 Corey, I mean, it was the truth.
00:11:44.880 I was standing there with our opinion editor, Nigel, and we were just shaking our heads.
00:11:49.760 You know, steady stream of women coming up and saying how great you are.
00:11:54.140 I felt embarrassed for you, to be honest.
00:11:56.520 All right.
00:11:57.280 Okay, thanks, Dave.
00:11:58.980 I'll see you after the show.
00:12:00.560 We'll get ready for the pipeline.
00:12:01.820 Thanks, Corey.
00:12:03.040 Yeah, that is our news editor, Dave Naylor, covering the important things and the trivial,
00:12:07.220 as we saw from the UCP AGM.
00:12:10.260 So this one, I like to remind everybody, too.
00:12:11.980 I mean, look at all those stories.
00:12:12.860 And if you look at it on the scroll, the Western Standard is out there on the ground.
00:12:16.800 We are not beholden to the government.
00:12:18.520 We're independent.
00:12:19.640 And the reason for that is because you guys have subscribed.
00:12:23.280 So I know people like to curse about paywalls, but it's the way we can keep doing this.
00:12:27.060 If you haven't taken out a subscription yet, get on there, guys.
00:12:30.040 Westernstandard.news slash membership.
00:12:31.860 It's $10 a month, $100 for a year.
00:12:34.240 Again, it's just like you used to pay for a newspaper subscription, things like that.
00:12:37.000 And it keeps us rolling and allows us to keep doing these shows and having all those great
00:12:41.320 reporters and editors out there to make sure that you guys have got good, reliable news out there.
00:12:48.060 So something we're going to be hearing a lot about in the news, probably nationally, because it seems
00:12:51.100 when Daniel Smith does things in Alberta, it tends to shake things up across the country these days
00:12:55.340 because she's unlike a lot of other premieres and taking on things that are typically taboo
00:12:59.700 and, you know, others are just, well, I mean, the biggest sacred cow of all in Canada is the
00:13:05.980 healthcare system. So one of the things Dave mentioned, people outside of Alberta might not
00:13:09.520 be familiar with. She's taking on AHS. That stands for Alberta Health Services. And the rhetoric is
00:13:14.800 always ramping up, already ramping up, you know, that Daniel Smith's going to blow up Alberta
00:13:20.540 Health Services and she's going to end public health care and all the usual crap that comes
00:13:24.520 out of opponents. We've got to remember AHS, it's just, that's the bureaucracy, okay? That's
00:13:29.820 the organizational hub of the health services. That's where all the pointy-headed pencil pushers
00:13:36.440 and bureaucrats sat. That's where they determined things. And they've done a terrible job. She's not
00:13:40.720 going after public health care itself. Premier Smith is going after the bureaucracy. And I tell
00:13:45.380 you what, the bureaucracy has not been functioning well. It hasn't been efficient. Services have been
00:13:50.220 slow. It's been difficult. I mean, everybody says the same thing. You talk to people when they get
00:13:54.640 services in Alberta and the health system, it's the same thing. Once they get in, the service is
00:13:59.140 fantastic. We've got some of the best healthcare professionals in the world. We've got fantastic
00:14:03.280 basic facilities and means to do it. The problem is you could be waiting a very, very long time to
00:14:09.320 get in there in the first place. That's the issue. Unfortunately, if you want to call it free,
00:14:15.040 fine, even though it's costing you out of your taxes, it won't matter if you don't make it in
00:14:18.880 time to take care of whatever condition you may need treated. So the bureaucracy is a large chunk
00:14:23.520 of that. And yeah, I guess you don't want to go into the wrecking ball. You could potentially make
00:14:27.520 things worse, but you can't be afraid of taking on the administration as well if you want to make
00:14:33.680 substantive change. So Premier Smith has announced she's going to be breaking up the AHS into more
00:14:38.660 units, I guess you could say, to specialize in different areas. We'll see how that works.
00:14:44.420 We're going to break it down more in the pipeline, as Dave mentioned, too. That's our other show
00:14:48.020 that'll be coming on a little later because it is a big issue. And healthcare, I mean, it's something
00:14:52.560 Canadians, well, everybody relies on you. Certainly, you might not think about it until you suddenly
00:14:56.360 need it. And then suddenly it's the most important policy in the world for you, of course. But
00:15:00.200 we really need to work on fixing the system up. So that segues in, I'll get on with my guest here
00:15:07.840 in just a moment. Something I guess you could, well, we talked about monopolized public services
00:15:12.520 and one of those in the city anyways is water supplies. You can't drill a water well in Calgary
00:15:17.800 and get your own water. So you're reliant on what they put in the water on your behalf.
00:15:21.780 and an ongoing back and forth struggle, push and pull, has been the fluoridation of Calgary's
00:15:27.800 water. There's been plebiscites to get rid of it, plebiscites to bring it back. We just can't seem
00:15:32.420 to stop on this, but there are some concerns. People have some serious concerns with it, and
00:15:36.220 that's a person I have on, Dr. Robert Dixon, and this is something he's really taken on
00:15:40.820 as a cause and specialized in his concern with the water fluoridation. So he's coming to the
00:15:45.660 studio today to talk to us a bit about it. So welcome to the show, Dr. Dixon. Thank you for
00:15:50.180 coming in. Nice to be here, Corey. Thanks for having me. No problem. So I guess where I want
00:15:55.840 to start with is why now? Is there something coming up then in City Hall or a turning point
00:16:00.780 that's approaching when it comes to the water fluoridation? Well, I'd like to think so because
00:16:05.280 they just raised the cost of putting fluoridation back in our city water from $10 million of
00:16:10.480 taxpayers' money. That was two years ago when they passed this law, this policy. It's now $28
00:16:16.120 million dollars. So I think that's a very significant point to be brought up before
00:16:20.120 Council, amongst other things. Yeah, and you're going to go into the other things right away here.
00:16:24.320 But I mean, that's one of the areas that people could be concerned about, too. I mean, we had it
00:16:28.280 in before, and of course, in the typical manner of government bureaucracies, boy, it suddenly gets
00:16:32.540 expensive to bring something back that we already had in the first place. So the first place this
00:16:36.680 is of concern is at your pocketbook. I suspect your bigger concern, and from what I've looked
00:16:41.120 into, though, is I guess the possible health effects of fluoridation within people's water
00:16:45.240 supplies. Absolutely. It's, well, one point, it's not needed for a single body function. People will
00:16:51.160 say, oh, it's a nutrient, it's a vitamin, it's a supplement, it's needed for teeth. It's not needed
00:16:55.520 for a single body function. If Elon Musk took all the fluoride to Mars with him, we'd have a lot
00:17:01.080 better planet, maybe without him too. Okay. Well, aside then from perhaps not having a beneficial
00:17:07.400 aspect, which of course would be pointless if you're putting something within it without benefit,
00:17:10.800 But what potential harms then can fluoride bring in?
00:17:14.580 There's fluorosis and some other concerns that people have.
00:17:17.080 We can start right from the top of the head.
00:17:18.600 So it calcifies the pineal gland in the back of the brain.
00:17:21.020 That's called the seed of the soul.
00:17:23.300 And that calcifies and functions less optimally.
00:17:27.520 Brain damage, that's the big thing for us.
00:17:29.500 Now, there's been really good studies out with the Element and the MIREC cohort.
00:17:33.220 That's groups of thousands, even millions of people across Canada
00:17:37.360 that have been tracked for years and years by the government.
00:17:39.880 And people have teased out from those groups the data, the facts from Canadian cities fluoridated at Canadian levels with Canadian women that are pregnant and then Canadian kids that are bottle fed from fluoridated water.
00:17:52.440 And we're looking at a 3 to 15 point IQ drop.
00:17:56.500 3 to 15 points.
00:17:57.840 That's highly significant.
00:17:59.600 Lead was taken right out of the system for a 1 point IQ drop across the population.
00:18:05.760 And getting around the world, because we're so used to it out here in Calgary,
00:18:08.880 people don't seem to realize that most world water supplies actually don't fluoridate their water.
00:18:13.180 Thank you. That's a major point.
00:18:15.240 So we look across the world.
00:18:16.560 Right next door to us in BC, 98% do not fluoridate in British Columbia.
00:18:21.580 Quebec, 99%, pretty soon going to 100%, do not fluoridate in Quebec.
00:18:26.740 95% of the world does not fluoridate.
00:18:29.080 97% of Europe does not fluoridate.
00:18:31.860 The only people that fluoridated in the United States, Canada, some, Australia and New Zealand, quite a bit.
00:18:38.540 Other than that, nobody fluoridates.
00:18:40.780 So, I'm on a water well, actually.
00:18:43.200 I'm just outside of the city.
00:18:44.680 But there's some degree of naturally occurring fluoride in some water supplies as well.
00:18:49.420 Like, it doesn't necessarily have to be put in by a local municipal service.
00:18:53.240 Yeah, and that's a little bit different.
00:18:54.980 That's natural calcium fluoride, which is really tightly bound.
00:18:58.460 And if you look at the entire earth's crust, almost everywhere, there's calcium fluoride.
00:19:02.680 But usually, it's in fairly small amounts.
00:19:04.800 Like in our Bow River system on the north side, there's 0.2 parts per million.
00:19:08.680 And that's about the maximum it should be that all the studies show.
00:19:11.380 That should be the maximum allowed amount of fluoride.
00:19:14.060 So, calcium fluoride, 0.2 parts per million in the bow, about 0.3 parts per million on
00:19:18.440 the average in the elbow system.
00:19:20.440 So, yeah, I mean, is that going to harm us?
00:19:23.260 Not much.
00:19:23.740 We can sort of flush it out through the kidneys.
00:19:25.520 We'll put some in the bone, but it's not enough that it's going to cause harm.
00:19:29.840 But we start putting hydrofluorosilic acid, which is the waste product from the fertilizer industry, into our water.
00:19:36.320 That's when we get in trouble.
00:19:37.620 Or we're just topping up the natural fluoride.
00:19:40.080 Well, yeah, you're topping it up with the waste product.
00:19:42.380 It's not cleaned.
00:19:43.640 It's not pharmaceutical grade.
00:19:46.060 And for what point?
00:19:48.400 It doesn't do much.
00:19:49.460 Well, that's the next question I kind of want to come to.
00:19:51.200 I guess perhaps to a degree you'd have to theorize on that.
00:19:53.920 What is the motivation then?
00:19:55.120 I mean, this seems like it's a big headache for city council.
00:19:57.760 I mean, they're going back and forth.
00:19:59.260 They've got a lot of other things you'd think most of them would rather deal with.
00:20:03.100 Why are they so obsessed with putting fluoride back within the city water supply?
00:20:07.800 Well, I guess if you trace it right back, it's the money.
00:20:10.400 So it's big for the fertilizer industry in Florida and China.
00:20:13.580 They don't have to dispose of this highly toxic thing that they're scrubbing out of their fertilizer stacks.
00:20:18.460 And they should be disposing of it in toxic waste disposal plants like ours in Swan Hills up north.
00:20:24.880 And so they actually, instead of paying a huge amount of money
00:20:27.300 to dispose of this toxic product,
00:20:29.600 they've convinced that it's good for kids,
00:20:31.020 and they get to dump it in our city water and get paid for it.
00:20:33.200 That's a pretty good end-around for industry.
00:20:35.880 Well, for some of the individuals tied in with that, yes, absolutely.
00:20:38.980 But, Corey, the main thing is that the bigs like Colgate,
00:20:43.900 Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer,
00:20:45.360 it's about a $20 to $25 billion hit a year or profit a year for fluoride,
00:20:51.100 like in this toothpaste tube, fluoride in there.
00:20:53.140 And that's pharmaceutical grade.
00:20:54.800 But that's a big amount of money that they're making, $20 to $25 billion a year on toothpaste, gels, foams, rinses, dental products, all those things.
00:21:02.480 But that's topical.
00:21:03.900 I was about to say, though, with Colgate and such, you'd think they'd rather it not go into city water supplies because they could say, if you want the fluoride for your children, for yourself and others, you buy our products and you can choose to get it yourself.
00:21:14.200 If anything, it would harm their market by having it put into municipal supplies because people would say, well, I don't need your product.
00:21:18.960 No, we wish they'd be saying that, but they don't.
00:21:21.340 and their fear is that if water fluoridation goes down then that'll give fluoride a bad name and
00:21:26.380 they'd lose a big amount of their market share. Do you know what's on a tube of toothpaste like
00:21:31.340 this particular one where it says here? Warning keep it at the reach of children under six years
00:21:36.220 of age. If more than used for brushing is accidentally swallowed get medical help or
00:21:42.060 contact the poison control center right away. I would attribute that though more to our
00:21:47.420 our lawyers who make sure that you cover your butt on everything you consume.
00:21:51.460 No, it's true. It's toxic.
00:21:53.240 There's been people die from consuming too much toothpaste.
00:21:57.180 Yeah. There's a lot of products in our bathrooms, though,
00:21:59.260 that if we did consume too much of them, we could get into it.
00:22:02.580 That is true, but we don't put them in our water and say,
00:22:04.840 take as much as you want for the rest of your life.
00:22:06.400 No, and that's where my big issue lands with it in particular.
00:22:09.980 It's just that it's choice.
00:22:11.120 And then you don't have a choice when you have a city water supply.
00:22:14.060 You only have one provider.
00:22:15.420 It's not like you could say, well, I could turn on this fluoridated tap over here in this non-one if I choose otherwise.
00:22:20.380 It's kind of everybody has to get it or nobody has to get it.
00:22:23.060 And speaking as a libertarian individual, well, then in my view, it should be nobody gets it and they can choose to get it on their own if they like otherwise.
00:22:28.680 And there's lots out there, topically and cheap.
00:22:31.340 And that's where the effect is.
00:22:32.660 If there's any effect, it's topically.
00:22:34.040 It's not ingested.
00:22:35.080 It doesn't really do anything ingested except harms.
00:22:37.920 And that's harms not just to the brain, but to the thyroid and women that are susceptible.
00:22:41.860 20% of Canadian women are low in iodine, and they're very susceptible to harm from fluoride.
00:22:48.760 Harms to our bones.
00:22:49.880 It makes bones thicker, but more fragile and easy to break.
00:22:54.040 Harms to our kidneys.
00:22:55.020 If you have any kidney problems at all, don't go anywhere near fluoride.
00:22:59.280 Harms to our gut microbiome.
00:23:01.280 I mean, you go right from top to the bottom.
00:23:03.020 It harms every single cell organ system in our body.
00:23:05.640 Likewise, with iodine, for example, the iodized salt.
00:23:08.420 Make sure everybody can get it.
00:23:09.320 But if you don't like that, you can find salt products without it.
00:23:11.680 exactly yeah so you have a top 10 that you wanted to hit on reasons i know 15 minutes as we said
00:23:17.200 that you know there's only so much we can cover it goes by pretty quick but let's hit a couple
00:23:20.400 things we already have to get some of them yes one of the major ones is there's a major court
00:23:24.240 case right now in the states in federal court in california san francisco and it's been going on
00:23:29.360 for seven years and it's our fluoride action network which i'm a part of and it's mums against
00:23:34.080 fluoride and environmental watch there's a whole group of organizations that are taking the epa
00:23:41.360 the Environmental Protection Agency in the States, to court for putting a neurotoxin,
00:23:46.980 a known neurotoxin, in water.
00:23:48.760 And the United States is about 73% Florida.
00:23:51.020 So that's a lot of millions of people that are floated.
00:23:54.200 So they're taking them to court for the last seven years.
00:23:57.060 And we're hopefully in this coming January, we're going to get a decision.
00:24:00.860 We've won every step along the way so far.
00:24:03.320 And our experts have just bowled over their hired gun experts.
00:24:08.420 Are there any Canadian legal actions underway at this time as well?
00:24:12.820 No, it's such a tedious process.
00:24:14.700 Like seven years, and these are top lawyers.
00:24:17.140 Like Michael Conant has done a great job with his team down in San Francisco.
00:24:21.240 But it's so hard and so expensive to do.
00:24:24.020 So there's no legal actions per se, except for Quebec.
00:24:27.120 They're doing an injunction against the city of Montreal to get the last little bit,
00:24:31.120 that last 1% of fluoridation out of Quebec.
00:24:34.060 Interesting.
00:24:34.860 So what else have you got there?
00:24:36.200 Okay. Politicians should not be mass medicating. I mean, that's, politicians shouldn't be medicating at all. Yeah. Yeah. On other issues, as we could talk about for a long time, but citizens shouldn't be allowed to vote. Like I shouldn't be allowed to vote, nor you should be allowed to vote if I should take a medicine. That's just not ethical.
00:24:54.500 No, as I said, it's, you know, I'm still on the fence when it comes to the fluoride itself,
00:25:00.160 but I'm very much on individual rights.
00:25:02.140 Exactly.
00:25:02.500 And it's not my place to tell you that you have to take this or that you shouldn't take that.
00:25:06.180 It's up to the individual.
00:25:07.100 So it's highly unethical to medicate without informed consent.
00:25:10.300 You don't hear anything about informed consent.
00:25:12.420 We don't monitor ever.
00:25:13.740 Take it for the rest of your life and as much as you want.
00:25:16.200 And we don't follow up.
00:25:17.860 Just take this, like if you're an athlete or a laborer, just take 10 or 20 glasses a day.
00:25:22.700 so 10 or 20 times a dose of an office worker that might be drinking one glass of water a day.
00:25:27.420 So 20 times a dose, no problem. There's a lot of variability. I mean,
00:25:31.180 different people use different amounts of tap water throughout the course of a day. I mean,
00:25:34.140 back in my drinking days, I barely touched the tap once. There you go. And that leads to another
00:25:38.780 point that about 99% of water is not consumed. 99% goes to industry, to washing your car, to
00:25:45.020 watering your lawn, flushing your toilet. 1% consumed? Is that an efficient way to get a
00:25:51.100 the medication across? No. So that's why we don't do Lipitor or Aspirin or Prozac or any like that
00:25:57.200 in the water neither. You can't control the dose. And it's just inefficient. And in these days,
00:26:03.580 I touched on the $28 million. We're in tough economic times now. So why throw $28 million
00:26:10.840 at something that now we know, especially with the newest studies coming out of Canada,
00:26:15.340 it doesn't work. And it's harmful. So what's the point of spending $28 million on that?
00:26:21.100 They don't seem to give up on it.
00:26:22.360 And it's most harmful on children, on babies, the disadvantaged, the poor, people of color.
00:26:28.900 It's most harmful to all those people because they don't process or flush the fluoride, same as we do.
00:26:34.840 I would imagine as well, I mean, people are going to be less likely to get outside sources of water and things like that.
00:26:40.340 If they're of limited means, I mean, you stick to your tap water at home because it's the most cost-effective water for you to use.
00:26:46.460 What does it cost for a reverse osmosis system now?
00:26:49.680 I don't even know these days.
00:26:50.940 I know my whole water system at home on my water well costs a fortune to treat,
00:26:55.100 and I don't think that would take fluoride out even if it was in there in the first place.
00:26:58.260 I'm not sure what you have for a system, but if you buy a reverse osmosis system,
00:27:01.420 which is one of the only things that will take fluoride out because it's such a tiny, aggressive ion,
00:27:05.980 like your normal fridge filters won't take it out, won't touch it.
00:27:08.780 So reverse osmosis will, and then you have to remineralize it because you lose all the minerals with reverse osmosis.
00:27:13.700 But we're looking at between $4,000 and maybe even $10,000 or $12,000 for a whole house unit of reverse osmosis.
00:27:19.440 And who can afford that?
00:27:21.600 Not me.
00:27:22.260 I'm an independent media.
00:27:24.260 There you go.
00:27:25.800 All right.
00:27:26.240 Well, before we wrap, I mean, you've got a lot of resources.
00:27:28.720 As I said, we couldn't cover everything in 15 minutes, but we can point people to where
00:27:32.180 they can find out a lot more.
00:27:33.600 And you've got your website and a book and some other things.
00:27:36.500 Yeah.
00:27:36.960 Safewater Calgary.
00:27:37.780 You'll see this brochure in there.
00:27:38.780 We delivered this to over 400,000 Calgary homes before the vote in 2021 that we lost
00:27:43.560 the fluoride.
00:27:44.800 So yeah, this one here is on our website, safewatercalgary.com.
00:27:49.440 A very good website, lots of science on there.
00:27:52.700 This fellow, well, I shouldn't say that here.
00:27:55.960 He's a dentist.
00:27:56.840 It's against fluoride.
00:27:58.000 And he got taken out by the Alberta Dental Association the day after we put this to 400,000 Calgary homes.
00:28:04.040 Yeah, well, again, we could have a whole different show on the colleges coming down on medical practitioners of all sorts when they have differing views.
00:28:13.360 If you want to get me back to talk about that, they're trying to take my license away for two things.
00:28:17.000 Yeah, that's a related issue, but it's tied together, I guess you could say.
00:28:23.260 Well, one of them, they're trying to take my license away for fluoridation, for my stance against fluoridation.
00:28:27.820 You see, I'm practicing outside of my scope of training.
00:28:31.300 And the other one, of course, is to try to keep people healthy during these COVID times.
00:28:36.260 And so I'm advocating for things like meditation and walking and exercise and vitamin D3 and K2.
00:28:42.060 Blasphemy.
00:28:42.680 And they're trying to take my license away for that, too.
00:28:45.660 Yeah, it's controversial when we don't allow differences in thought.
00:28:49.880 And something of science that changes as much as medical, I mean, we're still learning all the time some of the things that are more effective or less effective.
00:28:55.180 Exactly, yeah.
00:28:55.980 Science has to change.
00:28:57.000 That's what science is.
00:28:58.240 So I just have to say that these are my views, not the views of the College of Physicians and Surgeons.
00:29:02.360 Okay, no problem.
00:29:03.660 And I'm sorry, and you've got a book here with you before I let you go as well.
00:29:06.320 Oh, thank you.
00:29:06.740 Yeah, yeah.
00:29:07.300 This is the best book that's ever been written on fluoride.
00:29:09.800 It's called The Case Against Fluoride, and it's written by my good friend, Dr. James Beck.
00:29:14.160 and also Paul Conant who's the head of the Florida Action Network out in New York
00:29:18.700 and Dr. Meckling who's a PhD out of England and the three of them wrote this in 2010
00:29:23.020 and it is an excellent excellent book it still stands today despite all the new studies that
00:29:28.140 are out like now there's I think 77 of the last 85 studies out show neurotoxicity or brain damage
00:29:34.820 and that's after this book came out but yeah if anyone wants to come up to speed great book
00:29:39.200 okay well that was a quick 15 minutes I know we could only cover so much and just to remind
00:29:43.500 to everybody again that was safe calgary safe water calgary.com safe water calgary.com excellent
00:29:49.000 and again people can research more and of course contact your elected officials if you are upset
00:29:53.700 with these things thank you please do contact your city councillors like i did yesterday i
00:29:57.600 contacted each councillor separately and the mayor and the city clerk and i'm going to keep doing that
00:30:02.640 until they throw this poison in our water okay well thank you very much for coming in to talk
00:30:07.620 to us today dr dixon about this and uh i wish you well and in your efforts to make sure there's
00:30:12.720 There's clean water.
00:30:13.500 Thanks for having me, Corey,
00:30:14.460 and for helping get the word out there
00:30:15.600 because that's what we need.
00:30:16.240 We need education.
00:30:17.340 Absolutely.
00:30:17.740 Not many organizations will publish this.
00:30:20.120 No, I'm afraid not.
00:30:21.460 Okay, thank you.
00:30:22.160 Thank you very much.
00:30:22.880 All right.
00:30:23.700 So yes, that was Dr. Dixon.
00:30:25.140 And as we said, I believe it was Safe Water Calgary.
00:30:28.780 And yeah, as I said, you know,
00:30:30.880 there's differing views, but you can research,
00:30:32.480 you can look it up.
00:30:32.980 There's a lot of information about that out there
00:30:35.000 and he provides it.
00:30:36.320 And there's counter information.
00:30:37.300 That's fine.
00:30:37.940 The main thing, the main challenge is
00:30:40.560 there's only one water supply. And that's where I, again, I get my backup. Look, if there was
00:30:45.700 choices, fine, but this is all or nothing. And that's where we start to run into problems.
00:30:50.140 That's where we ran into problems. Of course, when we talk about coercion for vaccination
00:30:53.960 and things like that as well, I wasn't too personally concerned with the COVID vaccine,
00:30:59.360 at least not at first to kind of reevaluate some things for since, but I was always heavily on,
00:31:04.040 it has to be a choice. Any medical procedure has to be a choice, medication, procedure,
00:31:09.660 anything like that. So check those things out. I know it's, it's, it's a subject that kind of
00:31:14.880 makes people's eyes roll. It's something we've been hearing about for so long. It just keeps
00:31:19.260 coming more plebiscites back forth, up, down. The bottom line is you're the one that's got to drink
00:31:24.880 that water. And, uh, you know, unless you want to spend all that money on reverse osmosis and
00:31:29.720 things like that, uh, you, you might want to encourage your, your, uh, city counselors to
00:31:35.080 reevaluate that, or maybe you really are strongly in favor of it. It goes both ways. That's the way
00:31:39.600 the democracy works. I just take issue with, even if it's a minority of people who want the
00:31:43.900 fluoride out, well, they can't escape it because it's a public water supply. And that makes it
00:31:50.440 difficult. I think personally, I think the only obligation then on the part of a public water
00:31:54.200 supplier should be making sure it's safe, making sure it's clean, you know, keeping the, of course,
00:31:59.900 you know, E. coli down and some of the more harmful elements, but you can't use it as a
00:32:04.700 medication delivery system. And that's what's happening. You know, it's even if, even if it's
00:32:10.780 ostensibly is a good medication, because we are hearing from others saying that cavities and
00:32:16.220 children went up with the removal of the fluoride. I don't know. I mean, maybe, but again, is it the
00:32:21.820 place of the city to put that in in the first place? I mean, where will they stop? You know,
00:32:26.640 there's lots of things you can put in the water supply. If I was a real prankster, I'd like to
00:32:30.360 put a bunch of Viagra in the water supply and see how messed things get up for a few days, but I
00:32:34.040 would be charged, of course, with nasty poisoning of people or at least, you know, causing a lot
00:32:38.540 of sore backs and worn out bed springs. But I mean, the bottom line is water supplies aren't
00:32:42.240 something to be played with. Just need clean, reliable, safe water in this Florida fluoride
00:32:47.200 hang up. As is pointed out, vast, vast majority of the world doesn't put this in their water. So
00:32:53.120 why are we so insistent on it? Of course, I don't know. They don't necessarily put a lot of it into
00:32:58.560 the water in England too. And look at their teeth. There's a lot of debate to be had on the whole
00:33:01.780 thing. I mean, it could go either way with it. All right, let's see some of the other stuff going
00:33:05.820 on. This is a beauty out of the House of Commons. Everybody's favorite, I think they've mentioned
00:33:10.620 that, you know, Environment Minister Stephen Gilbo, and he declared he is a proud socialist
00:33:16.360 in the House of Commons the other day. You know, socialism and communism, they are siblings. They're
00:33:24.180 very close. It's just a matter of degree. It used to be that you'd be ashamed, or at least you're
00:33:30.500 painting yourself into a corner as being on that fringe.
00:33:33.220 And socialism is a fringe, guys.
00:33:35.820 When we got a senior Trudeau minister, though,
00:33:39.160 not afraid to get up and say, hey, and that's his words.
00:33:41.840 He said, I'm a proud socialist.
00:33:44.740 We should be pretty bloody concerned.
00:33:48.280 You know, Venezuela was managed by a proud socialist.
00:33:51.760 It used to be one of the richest Latin American countries in the world.
00:33:58.760 and now it's leading in poverty.
00:34:01.160 They are in the dumps.
00:34:02.020 They got some of the most,
00:34:06.700 well, I'm stuck for words.
00:34:08.360 Must be the fluoride talking.
00:34:09.980 Plentiful oil and gas reserves,
00:34:12.060 you know, in Venezuela.
00:34:13.100 They got a great large coastline,
00:34:14.920 fantastic people,
00:34:16.340 good agricultural ability
00:34:18.480 and they're starving.
00:34:20.000 They're broke.
00:34:20.980 You know how that can happen?
00:34:22.860 Socialism.
00:34:23.300 No economy can safely survive socialism.
00:34:27.380 It's oil and water.
00:34:29.040 You cannot do well under socialism.
00:34:31.020 And we've got a guy who has Justin Trudeau's ear, him and Jagmeet Singh, who's a socialist on the other side, telling him what to do.
00:34:40.640 Better get concerned, guys.
00:34:42.580 This is frightening.
00:34:43.680 I mean, this is not a minor thing going on.
00:34:48.620 Socialism.
00:34:49.200 Socialism, the nationalization of country's products.
00:34:52.880 But, of course, look what happened with the Trans Mountain Pipeline.
00:34:54.760 Look what they're looking to do with the grocers.
00:34:56.700 These socialists, they won't give up
00:35:00.020 because it's like a religion, it's an ideology.
00:35:02.060 So you can't reason with them
00:35:04.080 when they've declared themselves as such.
00:35:06.300 So it didn't make enough news, in my view,
00:35:08.440 when Gilbo said that.
00:35:09.780 And it's not that shocking.
00:35:11.020 I see Anthony commenting,
00:35:12.380 saying the fact that he was made environment minister
00:35:13.860 when he was an arrested Greenpeace protester
00:35:16.140 tells law.
00:35:16.660 I know, he was already basically a known lunatic.
00:35:19.620 He was already an extremist.
00:35:21.320 And to have Trudeau put him into such a senior position
00:35:25.700 is of concern. But I mean, he's not even trying to keep the veneer up any longer. He's declaring
00:35:31.340 himself a proud socialist. Some of it also, I don't think so, because it was one thing
00:35:35.680 about Gilboa. He's a pure ideologue. He's the real thing. Some might say, well, maybe it's
00:35:41.680 just political tactics, trying to eat away a little bit back at the NDP because they're
00:35:47.300 fighting over the same votes. Perhaps, but I don't think so. I don't think Gilboa thinks
00:35:51.420 in politically nuanced ways.
00:35:54.180 He just does.
00:35:56.480 And when he says he's a socialist, believe him.
00:35:59.120 And when I tell you that socialism will kill the economy,
00:36:01.400 believe me, we have enough examples around the world,
00:36:04.460 it never works.
00:36:05.700 Again, it's just communism light.
00:36:08.200 Unfortunately, when socialism fails,
00:36:09.920 quite often the next move from its proponents
00:36:12.020 isn't to back off of it, it's to double down.
00:36:14.140 When you double down socialism, you get communism.
00:36:17.040 That's how the math works on that, guys.
00:36:18.620 uh let's see what else we got going on speaking of socialist fools so cbc yeah state broadcaster
00:36:27.680 and i'll call it that because they are so far up the government's butt and they get so they chafe
00:36:31.260 so much when i refer to them as a state broadcaster but when you basically do nothing
00:36:35.540 but parrot the government line you are a state broadcaster especially when you are getting over
00:36:40.180 a billion a year from taxpayers to to put out the crap you put out and you know the thing with this
00:36:45.440 whole, the nightmare that just keeps unfolding and going on in Israel and Gaza and the rest.
00:36:51.500 Right off the bat, CBC puts an order down saying not to use the word terrorist, and they still
00:36:57.620 won't. They still won't. Hamas, Hezbollah, these aren't, it's not theories that these organizations
00:37:04.380 are terrorists. They are registered in Canada as terrorist organizations. Why can't the stinking
00:37:11.340 state broadcasters say it. Why can't they say it out loud? Even Trudeau said it, but they won't say
00:37:19.480 it because they're taking a side. And you know what side they're taking? They're taking the side
00:37:22.800 of the freaking terrorists. It's disgusting. And your tax dollars are going towards that.
00:37:28.200 And to see how much farther to that side they go, because the CBC, the self-assigned king of
00:37:34.280 virtue signaling on behalf of Canada, of progressivism, of anti-hate, of diversity.
00:37:39.760 Well, we had a hate-motivated incident happen in Ottawa.
00:37:43.520 A person who was harassed because of their ethnicity, because of their religion.
00:37:47.220 This person was threatened because of that.
00:37:49.160 This person was pushed to the point where the police had to intervene
00:37:51.960 and actually charge somebody with a hate-motivated incident.
00:37:54.540 You know what? The only thing you hear about it, if you read the CBC,
00:37:57.260 was it was a hate-motivated incident against an individual.
00:38:00.140 What the CBC wouldn't say was it was a rabbi.
00:38:03.500 It was a Jew.
00:38:06.460 It's not worth mentioning then, apparently.
00:38:08.440 They did not once in their whole headline or story on this person being charged did they mention that.
00:38:14.300 They just said it was a hate-motivated incident.
00:38:16.320 They don't want to ever say perhaps the Jews might be victimized by somebody because the CBC is supporting Hamas, essentially.
00:38:22.560 They are.
00:38:23.440 That's the side they're leaning on.
00:38:25.780 So let's not beat around that bush.
00:38:28.460 I've had it with that.
00:38:29.140 When you can't even say the word Jew, you guys are pathetic.
00:38:32.000 And I'm paying for you.
00:38:33.260 And yeah, that gets me stirred up.
00:38:35.200 And I really want to see you guys defunded.
00:38:37.280 my God, if Polyev gets in for even one thing and gets one promise done, defunding you clowns
00:38:42.100 would be one of the best things he can do. How pathetic are you? Had it been a Muslim who was
00:38:46.820 targeted with a hate motivated incident, you guys would have had that plastered all over the place.
00:38:51.620 Had it been an Asian person, had it been anybody except this, because that doesn't fit with your
00:38:58.480 pro-Hamas standpoint when it comes to the Gaza-Israel conflict going on right now. So you don't want
00:39:04.940 to say that because that would perhaps show that oh my god they have demonstrated hatred towards
00:39:09.040 jews yeah you think they cut the heads off their babies you clowns oh enough about the cbc hard to
00:39:15.900 keep my lunch time when i think of those guys let's talk about some other fools this was a beauty
00:39:20.060 out of treasury board president anita and and this was great you know this shows government at its
00:39:25.000 best at its own tone deaf saying uh they're gonna promise it very soon now now that's been released
00:39:30.960 thanks to Black Locks. I love those guys. You know, they put out great stuff. And they're
00:39:35.520 sending, they spent money, $669,500 to hire a consultant for advice on how to save money on
00:39:43.780 consultants. Yeah, yeah, that's not a typo. KPMG, which again, boy, they certainly get some really
00:39:49.680 cozy contracts there with the government. But you spent, you know, close to $700,000
00:39:56.460 on a consultant asking how to save money on consultants.
00:40:00.720 This was similar, I guess,
00:40:01.860 when Jason Kenney started up the whole ministry
00:40:04.100 to end red tape when obviously, you know,
00:40:06.580 the first thing that that ministry should have done
00:40:08.200 is basically shut itself down
00:40:10.120 because it was creating a whole new industry
00:40:11.600 and a bunch of red tape.
00:40:13.320 Just do it.
00:40:14.640 Just do it.
00:40:15.720 You don't have to spend it.
00:40:16.680 Yeah, angry Canadians say,
00:40:17.640 I would have done it for $500,000.
00:40:19.160 Yeah, you bet.
00:40:19.820 It was put out to bid.
00:40:21.060 I bet we could even have found somebody
00:40:22.260 who could have done the report for $50,000.
00:40:24.100 dollars. But all the same, it still would have been $50,000. Too much spent on consultants when
00:40:29.320 you guys, you know, they're just something else. But that's why we're going broke, guys. It's not
00:40:35.600 that complicated. Here's something where they're showing a little bit of good common sense. So
00:40:39.860 this one's a fun one. So even the feds won't buy electric vehicles. Yeah, federal departments are
00:40:44.820 avoiding electric cars because they said they're too costly. Really? So we're supposed to buy these
00:40:51.160 things. We're supposed to upgrade our houses, our provincial governments or local private
00:40:55.880 electric providers are somehow supposed to upgrade the grid to be able to keep up with it. And of
00:40:59.980 course, all those riders on your electric bill and all that good stuff is supposed to get you
00:41:03.680 into those electric vehicles. But the government on the other hand, no, no, we can't buy those
00:41:09.460 things. So yeah, let's see, we got 17,260 government vehicles, which is probably 10,000
00:41:16.800 too many for whatever the hell they do anyways. Of all of those, only three percent or zero
00:41:22.740 emission. You would have thought when they're bending over backwards and they're spending
00:41:25.440 billions on battery plants, your money, my money, when they're telling us we must go on to these
00:41:30.720 things, they won't do it themselves. Maybe the bureaucrats don't want to drive an electric car.
00:41:37.240 Don't blame them. Problem is we've got to pay for them. So yeah, yeah, the government even take
00:41:42.840 their own crap seriously? I don't know. They've had recent embarrassment, though. I mean, that's
00:41:46.820 funny. Stephen Gilboa stating Tuesday that Canadians, this is the other neat thing, Canadians
00:41:50.880 need to take further actions to meet climate targets because they've been embarrassed.
00:41:54.640 The government's been embarrassed. The reports are coming out. They're realizing our emissions
00:41:57.940 aren't going down. We're kicking ourselves in the economic balls over and over and over again
00:42:02.020 to try and bring down emissions within Canada, but the emissions aren't falling.
00:42:05.880 So does Gilboa, the green Jesus, the man in charge, the environment minister, the one who's been part
00:42:11.500 this government for eight years to bring down the emissions is any of that responsibility his
00:42:17.100 no he says it's your fault it's my fault canadians need to take further action to meet climate
00:42:23.500 targets not once do you say maybe your actions suck they've failed you've had a carbon tax in
00:42:29.580 for this long shouldn't the emissions have been dropping by now but i mean the government doesn't
00:42:34.220 care. The climate tax, the climate tax, the carbon tax, if it really mattered, then the government
00:42:42.160 would never have cherry-picked and lifted it on the maritime provinces, would it? I mean,
00:42:46.320 this is too important. The world is at stake. The earth is boiling. We can't reduce carbon taxes.
00:42:53.460 We'll kill everybody. But even the government knows the carbon taxes aren't doing a damn thing,
00:42:57.460 except costing us money and putting more money into government coffers to put into stupid
00:43:01.220 programs, but it just gets so insulting when you listen to a clown like Gilboa, avowed socialist,
00:43:07.720 saying it's Canadians' responsibility. We have to do more. We failed him. Hey, we should send
00:43:14.560 him cards and apologize. I'm sorry, Stephen. I didn't make my life miserable enough to reach
00:43:19.740 your climate targets. I'll try and wear two more sweaters this winter and turn the heat down.
00:43:24.760 Piss off, Gilboa. Can't wait to the end of your career, buddy. Let's see. We'll finish this off
00:43:30.540 with, yes, coming up in January 24th
00:43:32.640 in Calgary. Dave mentioned that.
00:43:34.260 It's made big news. Tucker Carlson
00:43:36.660 is coming to Calgary. He's going to do a
00:43:38.360 sit-down event at the TELUS
00:43:40.180 Convention Centre. It's at
00:43:42.440 January 24th. Pretty expensive.
00:43:44.900 I think there's some of those tickets.
00:43:46.720 You know, you really got to like Tucker Carlson, I guess,
00:43:48.620 if you want to go to it. But a lot of people do. It probably
00:43:50.640 will be a sold-out event.
00:43:52.720 It's going to be moderated by Brett Wilson.
00:43:55.020 Brett's been on the show before,
00:43:56.700 of course. He's always an interesting guy to chat
00:43:58.680 with. And of course, most controversial of all, Premier Daniel Smith's going to be on there with
00:44:05.560 them. And of course, yes, the NDP are losing it over that. Ah, God, so what? I mean, really? Is
00:44:13.000 that how controversial? I guess she is not even allowed to sit with a person who really is,
00:44:17.260 whether you like him or don't like him, an iconic conservative voice in North America.
00:44:22.340 You know, he left Fox and, you know, they thought that's going to be the end of him. No, actually,
00:44:27.440 he moved on to Twitter, and his shows on Twitter get views in the tens of millions of people.
00:44:34.120 So it's significant, and people want to listen to him. They like hearing what he has to say.
00:44:39.360 Well, maybe they don't like hearing what they have to say, but they tune in to hear it.
00:44:42.860 So why is it, though, not allowed? Because that's kind of the point they're making about it. It's
00:44:47.440 not allowed. Smith shouldn't even be sitting down. It's not somebody, they shouldn't be platforming
00:44:51.000 this guy. Guys, he already has a pretty high platform. He's doing quite all right. I don't
00:44:56.960 think Premier Smith is raising him any. He's already got a fan base here and particularly
00:45:02.820 in the States. That's why the TELUS Convention Center, even at a couple hundred to 500, I think
00:45:07.620 a seat is going to fill right up for people wanting to listen to this and go to it. Get over
00:45:12.200 yourselves. You know, the Premier is allowed to sit down with influential figures like this
00:45:17.820 at functions that a lot of people will go to. If you don't like it, here's the neat thing. And I
00:45:22.280 threw that out on Twitter just yesterday. The neat thing is you don't have to buy a ticket and go.
00:45:28.180 Yeah. Easy as that. You know, you can go up to Edmonton, listen to Gil McGowan, go on about
00:45:33.040 something or whatever you want. You don't have to see Tucker Carlson. It's not mandatory.
00:45:37.460 So get over it. It's not a big deal. And yeah, it's just this cancel culture. It really does
00:45:45.360 come down to that. I don't like that point of view. Thus, it should never be exposed. Well,
00:45:50.160 too damn bad. It's going to be, it's probably going to be a great success. I'm going to be
00:45:54.540 stateside over that period of time. I won't be able to attend this, but I'm not sure. I'm not
00:45:58.780 so huge on Tucker Carlson. I don't know if I'd spend a couple of hundred bucks to see it. That's
00:46:02.240 just me. Obviously thousands of people will be more than willing to, and it's going to be quite
00:46:05.840 an event. We'll close it out with that though, guys, and I'll leave it there. Keep watching.
00:46:12.100 I appreciate you coming in to talk or listen to me talk to you today. I appreciate the comments,
00:46:16.400 guys. I see lots of them there today. And yeah, watch for the pipeline. It's going to be another
00:46:20.840 good one. I'll be with our opinion editor, Nigel Hannaford, and Dave Kneeler, our news editor,
00:46:25.120 and we'll cover a lot more topics in depth. And yeah, keep subscribing to The Standard. We will
00:46:30.200 see you all again next week at this time. Canadian Shooting Sports Association. Without the CSSA,
00:46:36.580 our gun rights would have been taken long, long ago. These guys are on the front lines
00:46:41.280 helping to draft smart and intelligent firearms regulations and legislation in Canada,
00:46:47.400 and more importantly, educating the public about how we keep guns out of the hands of the wrong people.
00:46:52.900 To become a member, it's absolutely worth every penny.
