00:00:00.000 Transcription by CastingWords
00:00:30.000 Good day. Welcome to the show. This is the Corey Morgan Show, and I am indeed Corey Morgan.
00:00:36.340 Thanks for joining us today, guys, during these insane news times. That's the only way to put it.
00:00:42.640 You know, we've had such a plethora of news to cover lately. It's been kind of nice. It's having lots of stuff to write about or think about and talk about, but just so much of it's been dark lately.
00:00:51.640 It gets tiresome, but we still have to keep covering it. We have to keep talking about it. We have to keep thinking about it because we'll never find solutions if we're afraid.
00:01:00.000 To take on the problems head on, and that's part of what we try to do here. Get on, talk about these things straight out. We don't sugarcoat things. We get right to the point, or at least I do.
00:01:09.820 So hang in there, guys. We got a lot to cover today. I got Michelle Sterling of Friends of Science on. It's been a while since Michelle's been on.
00:01:16.800 She's been a regular on my show. Always great when she gets on. And of course, the latest COP plan. So we're talking, you know, UN climate type organizations plans to phase out our fossil fuels.
00:01:26.500 They won't give up. It doesn't matter how illogical their policies are or how badly it will hurt people. They are fanatical and they'll carry on with it as well.
00:01:35.140 Of course, we'll have lots of news and things to talk about. And unfortunately, we'll talk about some of the fanatical here right away. Good to see you there, John Winslow joining in the comment scroll.
00:01:45.180 And yeah, I like to remind people, here's that comment scroll. Send questions my way. Talk to each other. Do things like that. I see them all.
00:01:52.220 I won't necessarily read them all out because we do have a busy, packed show, but I appreciate seeing the activity there and just trying to stay civil with each other.
00:01:59.080 Okay, so I'm going to start with what's got me going today. So, you know, I was always on. I'm on X. I'm on Twitter and I'm watching.
00:02:06.780 I see the news stories as they come up. Here it comes, you know, a headline about a Canadian-born peace activist, Vivian Silver.
00:02:13.760 And she disappeared from an Israeli kibbutz near Gaza during the Hamas terrorist attacks of October 7th.
00:02:21.100 You know, friends and family, they held out hope she was among the hundreds of hostages taken by terrorists and maybe she'd be released one day.
00:02:27.920 Unfortunately, those hopes were dashed. But in the evening of November 13th, CTV News released a story with this subdued headline stating,
00:02:37.240 Canadian peace activist Vivian Silver, who went missing after the Hamas attack, has died.
00:02:43.660 That's it. That is what the headline said.
00:02:47.020 The purposeful understatement of the significance and circumstances of Silver's death enraged me and many Canadians,
00:02:54.200 and the CTV has been getting roasted, as they should, ever since.
00:02:57.240 They stubbornly left the headline intact since then, though, and they won't edit it.
00:03:02.140 Now, the way that headline was composed, it made it sound as if Silver had passed away from natural causes.
00:03:07.380 It also simply said she was missing rather than possibly kidnapped.
00:03:12.180 You know, maybe she just went for a walk and didn't come home. 0.75
00:03:14.780 In the body of the story, though, they did say her son said she was murdered,
00:03:18.620 as if perhaps she still died another way and her son's just making stuff up.
00:03:23.340 Vivian Silver was brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists, and the headline should have reflected nothing less than that.
00:03:29.700 Yet CTV deliberately tried to minimize this.
00:03:32.640 Headline writing, I mean, it's an art form.
00:03:34.980 And in the world of social media, it's more important than ever.
00:03:37.520 Headlines, they need to communicate the most important element of a story,
00:03:40.720 and they have to grab the attention of prospective readers.
00:03:43.280 The CTV headline did neither.
00:03:44.920 Legacy Media has been reticent about publishing anything that might paint Hamas in a bad light lately for whatever reason.
00:03:52.420 Look, Hamas is a terrorist organization.
00:03:54.900 This isn't a matter of my opinion.
00:03:56.700 That's the status that was conferred upon that group by the government of Canada 20 years ago.
00:04:01.360 I mean, even if they weren't formally declared being a terrorist organization,
00:04:04.260 anybody seeing the horrific atrocities carried out by Hamas can understand the terrorist nature of the group.
00:04:10.780 Or at least most people can.
00:04:11.800 Every murder carried out by Hamas is tragic, but the case of Vivian Silver, that one holds extra significance. 0.90
00:04:18.520 You see, Silver was a peace activist who supported the concept of Palestine in a two-state solution.
00:04:24.420 She worked to bring Gazan citizens to Israeli clinics for treatment across the border,
00:04:29.080 and she even organized protests against Israel for its actions in the West Bank.
00:04:33.580 She was on the side of Palestinians.
00:04:35.660 In return for her goodwill, Hamas rewarded her by butchering her and violating her remains so badly it took five weeks to identify them.
00:04:45.180 Semitic people attach a special sanctity to the remains of their deceased.
00:04:48.740 That's why Hamas goes out of its way to desecrate the bodies of their victims whenever possible.
00:04:53.760 So why did Hamas murder one of its allies?
00:04:56.020 Well, the answer is pretty simple.
00:04:57.460 They killed her because she was Jewish. 0.76
00:04:59.340 It's as simple as that.
00:05:00.240 She was not human in their eyes.
00:05:02.860 Their mandate is to kill every Jew in Israel, and they make no exceptions. 1.00
00:05:06.280 And again, this is an opinion.
00:05:07.480 It's right in the bloody Hamas mandate. 0.96
00:05:09.500 It's online.
00:05:10.120 You can read it for yourself.
00:05:11.620 She was a kafir who must be slaughtered along with every other Jew from babies to senior citizens. 1.00
00:05:17.140 The murder of Silver shines a light, though, on just how extreme Hamas is.
00:05:21.540 It shows just how insulting it was when Canada's foreign affairs minister, G.I. Melanie Jolie, vacuously said Hamas should be at the table and negotiated with.
00:05:32.000 You can't negotiate with a group that fanatical and that violent.
00:05:35.120 What common ground could possibly be reached?
00:05:37.560 You know, well, you'll only kill half the Jews? 0.99
00:05:40.160 Come on, Jolie.
00:05:41.300 Any competent minister of foreign affairs would realize this.
00:05:43.880 Silver's vicious murder drove home how idiotic Jolie's utterances were, and Canada's subsidized legacy media never wants to rattle to the tree of the government that pays its bills.
00:05:53.280 Little wonder, some hope the killing of Silver just wouldn't be noted and would soon be forgotten.
00:05:58.080 Well, we're not going to let that happen.
00:05:59.980 Legacy media has been indulging domestic fanatics when it refuses to call out Canadian peace marches,
00:06:05.240 when the organizers of the marches chant the genocidal phrase, from the river to the sea.
00:06:10.200 And it's a statement to call for the extermination of the Jews of Israel, folks.
00:06:13.880 Legacy media denied and questioned the claims that, ah, my teleprompter froze.
00:06:19.060 I got a lot.
00:06:20.580 Either way, let's get down to where it is in my raw stuff.
00:06:25.500 Legacy media, there we go.
00:06:28.460 It's, let's see.
00:06:29.240 Even now, media's reporting on the alleged civilian casualty numbers coming from Gaza and sourcing the Gazan Health Authority for them.
00:06:36.420 The Gazan Health Authority is run by Hamas, you guys. 0.79
00:06:39.000 Do you think an organization willing to behead and burn babies might be willing to lie on their press releases?
00:06:45.580 Legacy media still takes them at their word.
00:06:48.820 Israel's gone to great lengths to offer a reality check to media outlets in denial of the Hamas atrocities.
00:06:54.400 They've presented screenings to journalists and politicians around the world depicting Hamas terrorists gleefully slaughtering Jewish families while bragging about their conquests. 0.66
00:07:03.880 This isn't Israeli-created footage.
00:07:06.920 This is the footage that Hamas themselves took while they rampaged.
00:07:09.900 They're proud of it.
00:07:11.060 And even with this evidence, many within the legacy media are reticent about condemning Hamas.
00:07:15.380 The CBC has banned the use of the word terrorist.
00:07:18.480 Yes, they've banned the use of the word terrorist in their reporting.
00:07:21.120 Again, despite Hamas actually being a terrorist group, as clear a terroristic group as you will ever find.
00:07:26.760 Why would any organization try to sugarcoat that fact?
00:07:30.040 The manipulation of information by legacy media to understate the actions of Hamas and lend credibility to the terrorist is unforgivable.
00:07:39.500 Now, I'm not rooting for the deaths or ends of Palestinians or Israelis.
00:07:42.700 I don't harbor that kind of hatred.
00:07:43.660 I am counting the days, though, to when legacy media dies the death it deserves.
00:07:49.080 No, not a literal death of reporters or people.
00:07:51.840 It's just an obsolete institution beholden to a government with its own agenda that it's time that it went away.
00:07:59.340 And when you see crap like this that came out of CTV and we see the crap that comes out of CBC, it's time for these organizations to go.
00:08:07.120 So, yes, rest, Ms. Silver.
00:08:11.160 You know, your memory be a blessing.
00:08:12.660 And I'm sorry that your passing had to be turned into a political football like that.
00:08:17.840 But unfortunately, you know, there's some people who'd rather we didn't even talk about it.
00:08:22.840 All right.
00:08:23.320 Let's get on with other news and talk with our news editor, Dave Naylor.
00:08:27.420 Hey, Dave, what's going on out there?
00:08:29.340 Oh, hell of a lot, Corey.
00:08:30.940 Don't you hate it when the teleprompter goes down, though?
00:08:33.460 I do.
00:08:34.480 Hey, you know, it shows people that's how I can stare at it and read their end.
00:08:38.180 Honest, guys, I write my own stuff.
00:08:39.800 I really do.
00:08:40.520 But when I want to get it out there concisely, it's better when I get that stream.
00:08:43.880 But I appreciate you hanging in there with me to get my thoughts out.
00:08:46.360 So you mean you didn't have the entire seven-minute ramp memorized?
00:08:50.140 No, I'm afraid not.
00:08:51.320 The rest of my show, though, I promise it is impromptu.
00:08:53.340 I just go with it.
00:08:54.220 But that opening monologue, yeah, I kind of got in dependence on that teleprompter.
00:08:57.940 There you go.
00:08:58.420 I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say it these days, Corey, but I'm sure enjoying the Indian summer out here, eh?
00:09:03.740 I mean, it's mid-November, and we haven't gone below minus eight or nine, and double-digit temperatures for next week.
00:09:11.740 It's glorious.
00:09:12.780 It is.
00:09:13.280 Every day without snow now is just a gift.
00:09:15.260 I mean, we're going to get it.
00:09:16.080 We'll get it eventually.
00:09:17.120 I'm not sure.
00:09:18.440 But it's nice to think we've at least got through half of November unscathed.
00:09:22.420 So, yeah, as you mentioned, Corey, Insane News Days, it just seems to be going on around the clock.
00:09:29.780 Right now, our website is leading off with our column from our opinion editor, Nigel Hannaford.
00:09:36.220 An interesting headline, the unbearable leftist link between climate change and killing babies.
00:09:43.140 And, yes, it's about the crazy situation that's going on in the Middle East right now.
00:09:49.300 Our Saskatchewan Bureau Chief, Christopher Olcord, has got a good story on the Saskatchewan government's putting up homeless peoples in hotels.
00:09:59.180 One of the hotels they're staying in, Corey, is owned by the Saskatchewan Party, MLA.
00:10:04.520 And apparently they are charging double to stay at the hotel for migrants.
00:10:10.460 So somebody's making some money.
00:10:13.100 A fearless leader is in Vancouver, was in Vancouver last night, where pro-Palestine supporters chased him out of not one, but two restaurants.
00:10:27.000 In fact, Vancouver police had to send 100 officers down to Chinatown to protect them.
00:10:33.220 And I'm almost at the point of feeling sorry for him, Corey.
00:10:37.500 Almost.
00:10:38.440 He can't even go out for a meal anymore because of the passions out there.
00:10:44.680 But he's currently in his brand new multi-billion dollar plane heading to the AIPAC summit down in San Francisco.
00:10:53.100 So let's hope he gets through the next 24 or 48 hours without embarrassing the country.
00:11:00.760 Other good stuff we've got.
00:11:02.500 Jen Hodgson's got a shocking story out of Las Vegas, where eight high schoolers have been charged with swarming and murdering a classmate that they were bullying.
00:11:13.240 A former youth teacher at a Calgary church has been charged with historical sexual assaults against a seven-year-old.
00:11:24.500 And we've had some shocking news, Corey, in the last week.
00:11:28.160 Both in Edmonton, where an 11-year-old was killed in gang violence.
00:11:33.300 And in Calgary, where a 14-year-old was arrested as a hitman in a deadly gang shooting.
00:11:40.780 So our Jen Hodgson, again, has got a story up there about what police are doing across the country to try and liaise and come up with, try and find a solution to this bloodshed on western Canadian streets.
00:11:56.380 Still to come, Corey, I'm just about to publish a story on the Manning panel.
00:12:00.700 You remember Preston Manning was paid a heck of a lot of money, a quarter million dollars, to lead a panel and to look at what the Alberta government did wrong and what they did right during the pandemic.
00:12:13.820 That report is out today, and we'll have the story up momentarily.
00:12:18.620 And a group of people have got together in Alberta, Corey, to say that they don't think the NDP is a very good brand anymore.
00:12:25.200 So they're setting out a committee, they're going to try and look into whether or not changing the name of the NDP will make them more electable in Alberta.
00:12:36.200 So that'll be interesting.
00:12:38.680 So yeah, that's just this morning, Corey.
00:12:41.960 We've got a whole afternoon to go.
00:12:44.500 Yeah, there's plenty to cover.
00:12:46.560 And as I said, you know, summertime, sometimes you're searching for the stories.
00:12:49.660 Now we're searching for the space to put them all, almost.
00:12:51.460 Exactly. And the reporters to do them.
00:12:54.360 Well, that we have, but we can always use more.
00:12:57.560 Right on. Well, thanks, Dave.
00:12:59.000 I'll let you get back to sifting and sorting through all those stories, and I'll talk to you after the show.
00:13:04.300 Thanks, Corey.
00:13:05.260 All right.
00:13:06.020 And what's our news editor, Dave Naylor.
00:13:08.260 And as you heard, yes, loads of stories.
00:13:09.960 It's just piling up out there.
00:13:11.560 There is so much to cover locally, around the world, around the province, around the city, you name it.
00:13:16.620 As well, you can find my opening monologue because I turn those into columns,
00:13:20.020 and I stick them up there so you can read the unstumbling version of it.
00:13:23.800 Just read it with my voice in your head.
00:13:25.900 You've got to go to westernstandard.news slash membership, though.
00:13:30.160 You've got to take out a membership in it.
00:13:32.660 I know. It's a paywall.
00:13:33.880 $9.99 a month, $100 a year, guys.
00:13:36.120 It's worth it.
00:13:36.800 And that helps us have those reporters all across the country to cover those things.
00:13:41.500 And we do try to maintain some balance.
00:13:43.140 We try to hit on what's important.
00:13:45.420 And I mean, something interesting with Christopher Oldcorn, who works very hard out there in the prairies,
00:13:50.900 and we're covering stuff in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
00:13:53.900 As you pointed out, yeah, we've got a pretty scandalous deal going on with the Sask Party MLA.
00:13:58.940 It looks like perhaps some inside dealing on getting migrants staying in his own hotel at inflated rates.
00:14:04.260 Look, we tend to be editorially something of a conservative-leaning publication.
00:14:08.800 But, hey, guys, when conservatives screw up, we'll report on that, too, because that's our job.
00:14:12.740 We hold them to account.
00:14:14.960 A free media has to be able to do that.
00:14:16.840 Now, unfortunately, subsidized media is afraid to hold the government to account.
00:14:21.260 That's part of why we see such weakness going on with our legacy media outlets.
00:14:25.560 They are reliant on the generosity of Prime Minister Trudeau to pay their bills rather than being innovative and developing new markets, as we have.
00:14:35.040 But there's lots going on, lots of stories, dozens of them.
00:14:37.520 And we're going to talk about as many as we can as we get through things today.
00:14:40.660 But if you've subscribed already, guys, thank you very much.
00:14:43.040 We really appreciate it.
00:14:44.260 If you haven't yet, get on there.
00:14:45.980 Take one out.
00:14:46.500 Hey, Christmas is approaching.
00:14:47.700 Buy a subscription for someone else.
00:14:49.380 Buy a subscription for somebody who doesn't like us.
00:14:51.520 Have some fun with it.
00:14:52.300 You can talk about it over the Christmas dinner.
00:14:54.060 It all works out, guys.
00:14:55.960 All right.
00:14:56.360 Well, let's get on.
00:14:57.020 I see my guest waiting in the lobby there, and I'm eager to bring her in.
00:15:00.340 It's Michelle Sterling of the Friends of Science.
00:15:02.900 Let's talk about a battle when it comes to energy, I guess.
00:15:06.700 And just back and forth and the ongoing attacks on fossil fuels.
00:15:11.380 The old COP gang, COP, is out to hit us again.
00:15:14.740 Let's see what Michelle's got to share with us.
00:15:16.440 Hi, Michelle.
00:15:16.760 How are you doing?
00:15:17.780 I'm good, thanks.
00:15:18.640 Thanks for having me on the show.
00:15:20.160 Oh, always glad to.
00:15:21.180 Like I said, we're overdue.
00:15:22.040 It's been quite a while since I've had you on.
00:15:23.560 So I appreciate you coming on today.
00:15:26.440 Pleasure.
00:15:26.760 So you guys have just put out another, well, there's always lots of stuff coming out, but
00:15:32.520 a report on the latest plans from COP to shut down the petrochemicals and fossil fuels.
00:15:38.720 That's right.
00:15:39.460 It's called COP28 Dystopia.
00:15:42.140 And COP is the conference of the parties.
00:15:45.760 That means all the countries that are signatory to the United Nations Framework Convention on
00:15:51.360 Climate Change, which happened back in 1992 in Rio.
00:15:55.260 And so they're still plugging away at it.
00:15:59.040 And over all those years, carbon dioxide emissions, despite vowing 27 times that they were going
00:16:07.080 to reduce them, have gone up 60%, I believe.
00:16:12.080 So we have this new report on our blog, COP28 Dystopia, the coming COP28 effort to phase out
00:16:20.380 fossil fuel production.
00:16:21.520 And of course, this is ironic because it's going to be held in the UAE, which is a fossil
00:16:30.880 fuel production country.
00:16:32.680 So, you know, the thing is that we have a lot of activists in Canada.
00:16:37.720 There's actually a COP28 petition from the Environmental Defense.
00:16:43.540 Hey, Canada, oil and gas don't belong at a climate change conference.
00:16:47.980 Kick big polluters out. 0.98
00:16:49.640 So they're actually asking Stephen Gilbeau to kick polluters out of the Canadian pavilion.
00:16:57.300 So they don't even want to have the Pathways Alliance events staged there.
00:17:03.940 This is, you know, these events are paid for by taxpayers and should be representative of
00:17:10.180 all taxpayers, not just the climate clique.
00:17:12.800 And also, oil, gas, you know, that is one of the biggest revenue earners for Canada.
00:17:20.600 It pays the bills for health care, for education, for all the services that we need in this country.
00:17:29.540 We need revenue.
00:17:30.380 And yet these guys, who actually just live at the public trough, most of them are heavily subsidized
00:17:37.640 by governments with grants and consultation contracts, with tax subsidies, because a lot of them are charities.
00:17:45.020 All these guys are trying to shut down the industry.
00:17:47.700 And the same at COP28, they're trying to do the same thing.
00:17:54.800 They're saying that, you know, Robert's saying countries like China, India, the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Iraq,
00:18:03.100 all see fossil fuel production as central to their economic development and energy security.
00:18:09.480 So, you know, if you think about this in terms of geopolitics, us trying to go along with climate change targets that will cripple our country,
00:18:18.540 it's really just giving the advantage to all these competitor nations and putting us completely at risk.
00:18:26.380 Well, yeah, Canada is always the one who wants to play the Boy Scout.
00:18:29.160 It seems we're the only ones ready to shut down our own resources and tighten our belts and starve a little more and subsidize battery plants
00:18:37.120 while we pay lip service and indulge all of these nations that are expanding their production and feeding world demand.
00:18:44.180 It's just absurd.
00:18:45.440 But do you think there's any chance any of that's going to change under the current administration?
00:18:49.240 You said people like Gilboa or Trudeau, this is what they've wrapped themselves around.
00:18:52.900 This is their prime mandate now.
00:18:55.840 Well, we just had our 20th annual climate science event at the Red and White Club.
00:19:02.040 And Robert Lyman spoke there on when will climate policy hit the wall?
00:19:06.040 And you can see these events online.
00:19:09.680 And he basically says he doesn't think that there will be a turnaround, but he does see that the public are feeling the costs and the burdens of these crazy climate policies.
00:19:22.180 And lots of people are getting a lot more energy literate.
00:19:24.680 And they're saying that, you know, it's ridiculous for Canada, which puts out perhaps 1.5% of the world's emissions, to try and meet these ridiculous targets.
00:19:36.240 When countries like China, you know, China emits in one year, in one month, sorry, what Canada emits in a year. 0.83
00:19:44.240 And I think the new calculation, a year and eight months.
00:19:47.160 So whatever we do is completely useless.
00:19:50.480 So you can see Robert Lyman's presentation on our main website.
00:19:55.400 Just go to past events and it'll be right at the top.
00:19:59.360 And also we have a presentation by Dr. Ian Clark showing that carbon dioxide is not the driver of climate change.
00:20:07.540 So all these measures are totally useless.
00:20:10.680 They're not about pollution.
00:20:12.500 They're not about reducing noxious pollutants in the air.
00:20:16.140 We've been doing that since the 1970s, very successfully.
00:20:18.940 They're about crippling our economy.
00:20:23.360 Well, and everybody wants to save the world till they have to pay the bill.
00:20:27.620 And we are seeing a little bit of that in Canada, though.
00:20:29.860 I mean, the Maritimes were happy to support Trudeau, happy to support the Liberals,
00:20:34.420 happy to ignore Alberta and the West when we, you know, raise concerns about the carbon tax
00:20:39.300 until the time came for them to pay the carbon tax.
00:20:42.320 Then all of a sudden, whoa, this is unfair.
00:20:45.280 This is terribly wrong.
00:20:46.400 And Justin Trudeau scrambled over and basically stepped in it by making an exception for them on the carbon tax,
00:20:52.440 but still leaving those nasty Westerners paying that bill. 1.00
00:20:55.600 Right.
00:20:56.240 And, you know, heat pumps, the promised free heat pumps, you know, that means free from the government means that we pay for it.
00:21:03.880 We are the sole pool of money for the government, we taxpayers.
00:21:09.340 But heat pumps just are not really suited to Canada at all.
00:21:13.040 And some of our retired professional engineers like to do side research.
00:21:18.620 And one of them called a shop in Red Deer.
00:21:22.580 They said that they have not sold one heat pump in the Red Deer area, that if a customer was to request one,
00:21:30.900 they would insist that it be part of a package with natural gas backup.
00:21:34.600 And the top of the line unit was twenty two thousand dollars.
00:21:38.780 The conventional heat pump, not cold unit, cold climate unit costs about ten thousand dollars.
00:21:45.780 And a new high efficiency furnace costs about sixty five hundred installed.
00:21:51.780 So one of their specialists in Calgary has a demo and he found that it only works in the shoulder seasons when temperatures are minus five to plus fifteen Celsius.
00:22:03.320 So you have to have also a green energy audit of your house to get the subsidy that costs about eight hundred.
00:22:09.740 And if you pass the audit, you would be eligible for maybe a grant of five thousand dollars.
00:22:17.580 But I understand you also have to upgrade your electrical panel, which is another few thousand dollars.
00:22:23.140 So, you know, the problem is they're asking us to flip and convert all of this installed infrastructure that works very well.
00:22:31.020 You know, and I think the thing we have to think about is if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
00:22:36.760 Well, that's it.
00:22:38.040 And we're a nation.
00:22:39.000 I mean, we have to have we have to have energy.
00:22:42.380 It's a matter of survival up here.
00:22:44.400 And this this obsession with electrifying everything, I mean, really puts I think not enough Canadians understand, puts Western Canadians on the spot.
00:22:53.220 We don't have a St.
00:22:54.200 Lawrence River to generate energy with.
00:22:56.700 We don't have nuclear facilities to generate electricity with.
00:23:00.640 We need to have fossil fuels for this. 0.87
00:23:03.660 And, you know, as we shut out the fossil fuels without having the ability to transfer to another form of energy, we're going to ironically, as one of the most energy rich regions in the world, fall into energy poverty, which could be outright dangerous.
00:23:15.940 Yeah, we're going to end up like Venezuela.
00:23:18.320 No kidding, like Venezuela, because they first started tinkering with the electrical grid and everything went downhill from there.
00:23:25.460 So we have an explainer online called Alberta's Electricity Challenge.
00:23:30.340 And see, most people don't understand that electricity is a secondary source of power.
00:23:37.160 So it has to be generated by something.
00:23:39.700 And as you pointed out, in Ontario, they have nuclear plants and they have hydro.
00:23:44.800 And in Quebec, they have lots of hydro.
00:23:47.080 In B.C., they have lots of hydro.
00:23:49.200 But hydro isn't everywhere.
00:23:50.860 And most of the good spots are taken.
00:23:52.980 Not to mention, it takes about 20 to 30 years to build these dams.
00:23:59.720 So, you know, you need the dispatchable power is what it's called.
00:24:06.140 This is like coal or natural gas.
00:24:08.960 And in Alberta's case, we've mostly switched over to natural gas.
00:24:12.320 But it's almost like your gas stove.
00:24:15.020 You know, you can turn it up or down as you need and it responds very rapidly.
00:24:19.920 You need enough dispatchable power to back up all the renewables on the grid because they have the unfortunate tendency when the sun goes down, clunk, it's dark and the solar doesn't work.
00:24:32.580 When the wind stops, clunk, the wind doesn't work anymore.
00:24:35.940 So you need dispatchable power that you can rev up immediately to cover off that gap.
00:24:42.460 Otherwise, you end up in blackouts like what happened in Texas a couple of years ago.
00:24:48.240 And hundreds of people died because of that.
00:24:50.440 Hundreds of people's houses were ruined because their pipes broke.
00:24:54.220 People suffered tremendously.
00:24:57.680 So, you know, we cannot afford to be in that situation.
00:25:00.980 If that happened in Texas, where they never get to minus 40, think what could happen on the prairies.
00:25:07.480 Well, yeah.
00:25:08.080 And then the costs, let's say, for example, fine, you wanted to be a good little Boy Scout for Prime Minister Trudeau.
00:25:13.480 And you went through the whole process and you managed to get approved and you put in and spent all the money on a heat pump.
00:25:19.100 You still had to keep the natural gas because your insurance company will drop you if you don't.
00:25:22.800 And everybody who looks at a natural gas bill, you look at it, okay, I've reduced my natural gas use by 80%.
00:25:28.980 But that isn't 80% of your bill anyways.
00:25:31.120 Most of your bill is all the riders and the other stuff within there.
00:25:34.680 You're only saving a small fraction of the bill.
00:25:36.820 The rest are fixed costs that you're going to be paying on top of the extra electricity to run your heat pump.
00:25:42.540 You're not winning on any level when you do that.
00:25:44.360 Yeah, and that electricity issue is very important because a lot of people have said that once they installed the heat pump, yes, their natural gas bill dropped, but their electricity bill went up.
00:25:57.580 And if we continue adding renewables, that's what will happen because every place across Europe where they've added a lot of renewables, power prices have gone either three times to nine times the cost of conventional power.
00:26:11.520 Again, because I think it was in Alberta, one of our professional engineers told us that it cost a million dollars a megawatt to integrate wind and solar to the grid.
00:26:26.120 Now, that was a few years ago.
00:26:27.720 Maybe it's a bit less now because there's more infrastructure built out.
00:26:30.660 But, you know, there's a lot of integrating the direct current power that's generated by wind and solar into the alternating current power of the grid.
00:26:41.520 So it's not just a simple plug-in.
00:26:45.420 And wind and solar may be free, but capturing it and connecting it to the grid is not.
00:26:52.980 It's very expensive.
00:26:54.860 Well, that's it.
00:26:55.560 Yeah, just to use an analogy, you know, when I used to own my pub, I used to scream at people coming in, all those bicyclists all the time. 1.00
00:27:02.380 We'd want free water, fill their water bottles, drink water, use my toilets and not buy anything.
00:27:06.880 And one guy got on my case and said, but it's water, man.
00:27:09.740 It's free.
00:27:10.300 It should be a human right.
00:27:11.120 I said, whoa, okay.
00:27:12.060 You want free water, you go out to the creek and you drink your fill.
00:27:15.300 Go to town, have your best.
00:27:16.740 You want treated, safe, clean water.
00:27:18.920 That's a commodity and that's in my place and you're going to pay for it.
00:27:22.220 Wind is blowing around for free out there and the sun's shining for free.
00:27:25.560 But there's a whole lot of resources to turn that into power that can be converted to something you plug into the wall.
00:27:30.720 And people seem to overlook that cost at times.
00:27:33.860 Right.
00:27:34.520 And, you know, Martin Olszinski from the University of Calgary, he's a law professor.
00:27:38.900 He just wrote an op-ed in the Globe and Mail where he mocked Alberta and said, you know, that Premier Smith was standing up for fossil fuel production in Alberta because of the electrical issues.
00:27:55.180 Well, you can read the Alberta Electric System Operator 2022 market statistics report, which came out in March of 2023, and they cite in there very clearly that there were seven instances of grid level three alerts last fall.
00:28:13.760 Four of them were in December when it was all across the province, Environment Canada, had it completely marked in red for extreme cold, extreme danger.
00:28:27.440 And you can see that all four, all seven of those instances of grid level three alerts, meaning that there's an imminent blackout or rolling blackout, like very imminent.
00:28:41.280 Those all were affected by a sudden collapse of renewables.
00:28:48.520 So, you know, this is not something that Premier Smith or the government have made up.
00:28:53.680 It's the real risk.
00:28:54.860 And we have, I think we still have 1,000 megawatts less dispatchable power today than we had in 2014.
00:29:04.400 But we have about 5,000 megawatts more unreliable, unpredictable renewables on the grid.
00:29:13.220 And that's why we're at this very crucial point.
00:29:16.300 The other thing is, you know, some of the energy producers are doing test models, like I think it's Shepard.
00:29:24.740 They're doing a carbon capture storage test to see if it works on their gas plant.
00:29:32.460 But you don't scale that up overnight.
00:29:35.100 So in the 12-year period, we can't scale it up.
00:29:38.740 And if the federal government is planning to impose criminal penalties on investors and plant operators, well, who in their right mind will invest?
00:29:49.980 So what that means is that we will be facing more blackouts.
00:29:54.380 And it's not propping up fossil fuel producers.
00:29:58.660 It's keeping people alive and safe.
00:30:01.760 Yeah, and they're chilling the entire investment climate.
00:30:04.060 It's just another one of their strategies, essentially.
00:30:06.260 And before I let you go then, I mean, quickly, what strategies can we do, though?
00:30:10.520 How can we stop this?
00:30:11.540 I mean, this is the Titanic rolling towards us or, you know, floating.
00:30:14.720 But you can't stop it on a dime.
00:30:16.820 I mean, aside from changing the government, what else can we do?
00:30:20.600 Well, I think, first of all, it's really important that people get involved and write to their political leaders or their representatives.
00:30:30.400 You know, this COP28 petition, for instance, it's written and signed by a whole bunch of these environmental groups.
00:30:41.120 And what they do, they have thousands of followers, and they do these point-and-click emails.
00:30:45.840 We never do that.
00:30:47.380 That's not our mandate.
00:30:48.980 But that means that individuals, you have to pester the people in charge with your point of view, whatever it may be.
00:30:57.120 You know, maybe you disagree with me.
00:30:58.740 That's fine.
00:30:59.460 But make sure that they know what you think and what you want.
00:31:02.480 Because I think it was in the Net Zero consultation, they said that they got 30,000 emails and something like 25,000 were from five groups.
00:31:15.980 So you can imagine David Suzuki Foundation, you know, et cetera, et cetera.
00:31:19.860 So, you know, we have to motivate people to get involved and be more active and tell people what you want, what you need.
00:31:28.840 Yeah, absolutely.
00:31:29.920 There's never anything to be lost in becoming more politically engaged and reaching out to the folks in charge out there.
00:31:35.460 So before I let you go, I mean, your website has got a pile of resources on there.
00:31:39.820 It's loaded.
00:31:40.200 You referenced a couple of them.
00:31:41.460 Where can we direct people to find out more?
00:31:44.200 To friendsofscience.org.
00:31:46.740 And we're also on YouTube, we're on Facebook, we're on Twitter, we're on Instagram.
00:31:53.020 We just got onto Gab and LinkedIn.
00:31:57.320 So we have material all over the place.
00:31:59.680 We have a blog that's very active.
00:32:02.480 And we like to engage with people.
00:32:05.280 So please go online and talk with us.
00:32:08.240 And if you want, we'd love to have a donation.
00:32:11.020 We're in our 20th year of operation.
00:32:12.660 So, you know, you could send an e-transfer for $20 to contact at friendsofscience.org.
00:32:20.980 And that would be a really nice birthday present or anniversary present for us.
00:32:26.120 Great.
00:32:26.620 Yes, you are funded by small donations.
00:32:28.700 And it's good to remind people of that.
00:32:30.180 And it's important.
00:32:31.080 So thank you very much for the work you guys do and for coming on to talk to us today, Michelle.
00:32:35.100 I'll let you go and hopefully lots of folks get out there and see how they can become active to stop that Titanic.
00:32:42.560 Great.
00:32:43.000 Thank you.
00:32:44.040 All right.
00:32:44.480 Thanks.
00:32:45.280 So that was Michelle Sterling again of Friends of Science.
00:32:47.520 Look them up, guys.
00:32:48.160 Like I said, all sorts of resources.
00:32:49.600 Great Twitter account or X, I guess, as it is now.
00:32:52.860 And because we need to come into it well-armed.
00:32:55.060 And she's absolutely right.
00:32:56.180 It might feel like you're throwing your email or comment or whatever when you send it out to a politician into the ether, but you're not.
00:33:02.460 They do watch that.
00:33:03.580 Their aides watch that.
00:33:05.240 And they can sift between those, you know, boilerplate ones coming from the advocacy groups and real ones, genuine ones from people coming in.
00:33:13.800 But you can't allow those advocacy groups to just keep dominating the inbox.
00:33:17.280 So we do have to step up.
00:33:18.920 And as Michelle's saying, we can be more principled.
00:33:20.960 We're not trying to make some sort of cut and paste email.
00:33:23.180 Just encourage people, speak up, reach out to them, because that does affect them when they're making their discussions in caucus, when they're doing their votes in legislatures or parliament.
00:33:32.840 We've got to keep trying.
00:33:33.880 It sometimes feels like we're losing, but we can win some of them sometimes, too.
00:33:37.860 Just to show, I mean, the fools we're dealing with, too.
00:33:41.500 This is from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, pointing out $1.5 million was spent on hotels during a UNAN climate conference in Montreal.
00:33:50.720 $1.5 million for Canadian delegates in Montreal at a climate conference.
00:33:56.620 Yeah.
00:33:57.160 And that's a local one.
00:33:58.040 How much are we going to spend going to the UAE?
00:34:00.520 Like Michelle was talking about, why do we have to send hundreds of delegates to these things? 1.00
00:34:03.820 The hypocrisy of these guys is galling.
00:34:06.300 It's just a club for them.
00:34:07.860 They're having fun.
00:34:08.760 They stay in luxury hotels.
00:34:09.960 They bounce around the planet.
00:34:11.160 They spend and emit more and pollute more than any one of the normal ones among us on the ground can do in a year.
00:34:19.160 And then they virtue signal it and tell us to tighten our belts.
00:34:22.540 They say it's your fault that the climate may be changing because you wanted to take a family vacation somewhere and take an airplane or wanted to use a more cost-effective form of heat for your home so you can afford to put your kids through post-secondary education.
00:34:37.580 That's your fault because you're selfish and greedy.
00:34:39.380 Now, don't mind me while I fly across the planet first class to stay in a luxury hotel for a week to talk about the climate when I could have done the whole thing from a Zoom meeting from home.
00:34:48.460 They're full of it.
00:34:49.360 They're hypocrites.
00:34:50.280 They aren't about saving the earth.
00:34:51.720 They're about padding their own fat asses and wallets. 1.00
00:34:54.480 That's what the bottom line is with a whole lot of this, guys.
00:34:57.100 But we do have to speak up or they will win.
00:35:00.200 And, yeah.
00:35:01.880 Let's see.
00:35:02.460 Let's see.
00:35:02.820 Since I got the CTF, though, up from Franco Teresano, he coupled that in with Toronto.
00:35:08.240 They spent $33,000 over the last three years to put Toronto Public Health branding on crack pipes.
00:35:15.980 Yes.
00:35:16.820 I wish I was making this up.
00:35:19.460 But the enablement crowd, the enablement cult, and that's what they are.
00:35:22.800 They're a cult.
00:35:23.520 They want to keep addicts addicted.
00:35:25.840 They somehow feel if we could just feed them enough drugs, they'll somehow come off of the things.
00:35:30.340 So they give them free crack pipes.
00:35:32.760 And this is where it shows, again, the profound stupidity of this cult, when it shows the cultish nature of these enablement people.
00:35:41.160 Why are you giving them crack pipes? 0.91
00:35:43.880 I can understand the rationale, especially when hepatitis was going around, HIV has been going around.
00:35:51.220 Sharing needles was a big area, spreading it from person to person and among addicts.
00:35:56.600 But it wasn't spreading through crack pipes, guys.
00:35:58.900 That wasn't a problem.
00:36:00.140 That wasn't an issue.
00:36:00.840 So why the hell are we giving them crack pipes? 0.95
00:36:02.760 Why are you making it easier to smoke meth and crack and now fentanyl that they smoke in those pipes?
00:36:08.020 Why?
00:36:08.960 What are you saving them from?
00:36:09.960 What are you making them safer from?
00:36:12.260 Nothing.
00:36:12.700 But to actually be so stupid, too, but to actually spend $33,000 more tax dollars, how many treatment beds would that have facilitated for addicts so that you could put the brand Toronto Public Health on the crack pipe?
00:36:24.400 Are you trying to make them collector's items?
00:36:26.040 Are you going to put them in different colors?
00:36:27.380 Maybe you can have your little wall of crack pipes in your cardboard box down on the alley behind you to show the ones you got, like McDonald's collectible cups.
00:36:33.880 Is that what it's going to come to, you peckerheads?
00:36:36.120 It's just ridiculous.
00:36:37.640 It's absolutely ridiculous.
00:36:39.740 And that's what these clowns are doing.
00:36:41.080 That's where your money is going.
00:36:43.620 These are the leaders telling you to tighten your belt, watch your wallet, so they can do stuff like this.
00:36:50.100 So one of the things Dave mentioned, too, you know, let's get back to Prime Minister Pinhead, Justin Trudeau.
00:36:56.820 And, yeah, he got swarmed trying to dine out in Vancouver, as Dave said, almost feeling sorry for him.
00:37:04.140 And they had to bring out 100 Vancouver police officers to kind of get control.
00:37:07.640 I guess he got kind of chased out of two different restaurants.
00:37:09.720 Now, I know some of the commenters will disagree, but that's fine.
00:37:15.180 I don't like that.
00:37:16.480 I don't like it when political leaders, no matter who they are, are really chased around and intimidated.
00:37:22.280 I do believe in open expression and protests and everything else.
00:37:24.940 But when it starts turning into mobs, and that's what this is turning into is mobs, that sort of control is dangerous.
00:37:30.560 And we have better means to influence our political leaders than that, even if it's Trudeau.
00:37:35.920 We need to work our butts off to get Trudeau out of the Prime Minister's chair.
00:37:39.920 But running around screaming and painting windows and chasing him around restaurants isn't going to do it.
00:37:44.340 But it also shows the fruits of Justin Trudeau's attempted appeasement.
00:37:50.500 Because, of course, this whole thing has been over the Israel-Gaza issue going on.
00:37:55.060 And Trudeau is making nobody happy because the nitwit won't take a solid stance.
00:38:01.080 He's trying to kind of walk the line on both sides.
00:38:04.060 And all he's doing is infuriating everybody on both sides.
00:38:07.700 Show some principles, Justin.
00:38:09.500 I know which side I'd rather you take.
00:38:11.300 I certainly make that clear.
00:38:13.320 But just show him.
00:38:14.240 But he's incapable of leadership.
00:38:15.980 He's gormless.
00:38:16.860 He's a wimp.
00:38:18.280 And, I mean, so he goes out.
00:38:20.340 And it was a statement the other day.
00:38:22.360 And he, you know, he brought the ire of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel.
00:38:29.260 And I tell you, Netanyahu is no sweetheart.
00:38:30.880 He's a, you know, a rough player.
00:38:34.400 And he's been in there a long time.
00:38:35.640 And there's some nasty politics going on.
00:38:37.540 But he's got valid points.
00:38:38.500 And he is standing up for the defense of his country, as he should.
00:38:42.040 And when Justin comes up and gives this crap about, you know, making sure that Israel doesn't, 1.00
00:38:48.280 you know, what does he say?
00:38:49.700 The human tragedy is heart-wrenching in Gaza, especially the suffering they see around El Shifa Hospital.
00:38:54.680 And then starts basically lecturing Israel, saying they have to restrain themselves and back off.
00:39:00.020 Oh, Justin.
00:39:01.560 It's kind of been shown enough times that Hamas, Hamas, the terrorists, the ones who flew in, 0.99
00:39:07.760 the ones who kidnapped hundreds of people, the ones who murdered thousands of people, 0.94
00:39:10.560 the ones who cut the heads off babies, the ones who burned the corpses,
00:39:14.200 have set up their base in these hospitals.
00:39:17.420 Now, Israel could have turned those hospitals to dust with no risk to any of their soldiers.
00:39:22.300 It would have been very easy.
00:39:23.600 They have the means.
00:39:24.420 They have the ability.
00:39:25.300 They haven't done so.
00:39:27.720 They are not using the maximum force available at them to do this.
00:39:31.760 Because believe it or not, despite what some clowns say, Israel is not a genocidal state,
00:39:36.620 and they don't want to slaughter civilians.
00:39:39.660 The fact that they can't just walk into these hospitals and prove Hamas isn't there, 0.56
00:39:43.440 why can't they do that?
00:39:44.200 The soldiers are now there outside on the ground.
00:39:45.780 Why can't they just walk in?
00:39:47.020 Well, it's because the hospitals are returning fire.
00:39:49.460 How many average hospitals have the capability to return fire?
00:39:54.820 They're packed full of terrorists, you guys.
00:39:56.880 Yes, there are innocent patients in there. 0.96
00:39:59.060 There are innocent citizens in there.
00:40:00.540 And there's a bunch of cowardly terrorists hiding behind them.
00:40:04.100 People talk about the laws of the land, the laws of war,
00:40:06.480 that moron Trudeau tried to lecture us on,
00:40:09.800 saying that, yes, there are laws and rules about attacking hospitals,
00:40:14.440 but there are also, in those same laws and rules,
00:40:17.060 rules about not using those hospitals as a base for military operations.
00:40:20.980 That annuls the exception you got as a place of treatment
00:40:26.880 to, you know, stop you from receiving fire.
00:40:30.600 So either way, this has been going on.
00:40:33.060 And, yeah, Justin said, use maximum restraint.
00:40:35.580 Well, Netanyahu, Benjamin Netanyahu,
00:40:39.220 came out and just eviscerated Trudeau on X, of all things.
00:40:42.620 You know, it showed on a couple of levels of things.
00:40:45.380 For one, that, you know, of course,
00:40:48.340 he's got no respect for Trudeau whatsoever
00:40:51.160 and just ripped Trudeau's case apart.
00:40:54.240 But also, he's not going to bother with a phone call to Trudeau
00:40:57.240 or a formal statement or anything.
00:40:58.740 No, you know what?
00:40:59.260 I'll take two minutes on X and just rip down this sock,
00:41:02.440 cute sock-wearing moron,
00:41:04.040 because that's all the time he's worth dedicating to.
00:41:07.300 There's no respect for him.
00:41:08.400 That's world leader to world leader.
00:41:09.680 No, he's going to actually just tag him on X,
00:41:12.280 you know, formerly Twitter.
00:41:13.740 That's the respect Trudeau commands overseas.
00:41:16.520 Just don't step into the international issues, Trudeau.
00:41:21.860 You're not smart enough.
00:41:23.460 It doesn't work.
00:41:24.460 Plus, here you are.
00:41:25.840 You try to pander to the pro-Hamas crowd.
00:41:28.640 You try to pander, or even to be generous,
00:41:30.280 to the pro-Palestine crowd, right?
00:41:32.180 You know, they're chanting from the river to the sea,
00:41:33.760 and they're chanting just to the Jews and so on.
00:41:35.460 But either way, you try to pander to them.
00:41:37.400 And where did that get you?
00:41:38.520 Nothing.
00:41:38.840 They're still chasing you around.
00:41:40.220 They're still chasing you out of restaurants.
00:41:43.320 It hasn't done you any good, has it, Justin?
00:41:45.220 No, you're not winning, whatever that might be.
00:41:48.980 And yeah, you know, some of the talk,
00:41:50.540 I see some people talking about KFC.
00:41:51.780 That's been back and forth.
00:41:52.900 I guess KFCs have been targeted.
00:41:54.320 Did somebody find any little shred of a link of a business to Israel,
00:41:58.400 and the pro-Hamas groups have been out and targeting those businesses.
00:42:03.240 You know, an analogy I put on X the other day,
00:42:06.660 is they keep saying, we're just anti-Zionist.
00:42:08.460 Oh, BS, you're anti-Jew.
00:42:10.140 Especially when you target businesses that are owned by Jews. 0.99
00:42:12.800 And guys, this has been done before.
00:42:14.960 If you're not familiar with it, look up Crystal Knot.
00:42:18.000 Look up what happened.
00:42:19.000 Look how it started in Germany, pre-World War II,
00:42:22.120 the big rumblings.
00:42:23.240 They started by targeting Jewish businesses.
00:42:27.000 And that's what they're doing here in Canada.
00:42:28.980 And they're shooting bullets at Jewish schools.
00:42:31.960 You know, they firebombed a synagogue.
00:42:34.740 This is not anti-Zionism, guys.
00:42:36.960 This is anti-Jew. 0.95
00:42:39.300 And Justin isn't calling it out nearly strongly enough,
00:42:41.920 and our state isn't standing up enough on it.
00:42:45.180 But either way, in Calgary, I mean, sorry, I sidetracked myself.
00:42:49.360 The analogy I wanted to point out,
00:42:50.260 I am often critical of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:42:53.760 I'm critical of their actions.
00:42:55.120 I'm critical of stuff they do.
00:42:56.760 Now, would it be appropriate for me to go out
00:42:58.480 and spray paint the windows of Chinese restaurants?
00:43:01.420 Would it be appropriate for me to gather 100 people
00:43:04.100 and when I spot a Chinese person to just mob around them 1.00
00:43:06.460 and start screaming at them for the actions of the Chinese government?
00:43:09.760 Of course not.
00:43:10.980 Well, that's what these assholes are doing with Jews right now. 1.00
00:43:13.400 So why is that acceptable?
00:43:15.260 In fact, it's not.
00:43:17.000 It's not.
00:43:17.760 And had it been any other race, any other race, 0.77
00:43:20.960 we would have seen the full force of the law coming down on that.
00:43:23.760 If you were chasing people around based on their color,
00:43:27.800 whether they're black or Asian or any of those,
00:43:30.600 it would be hate crimes going on.
00:43:31.700 But somehow when it comes to the Jews,
00:43:32.740 we're just going to be quiet about it.
00:43:34.280 Angry Canadians say,
00:43:35.020 how do you even know that a business is run by a Jew? 1.00
00:43:36.640 That's weird.
00:43:36.980 Well, yeah, there's some cafes and things
00:43:39.100 where they advertise that fact.
00:43:41.160 They serve traditional Jewish cuisine
00:43:43.460 or just even the names of the owners.
00:43:45.420 I mean, they went after Indigo
00:43:46.340 because Heather Reisman, Canadian born, owns it. 0.99
00:43:49.900 She's a leftist.
00:43:51.400 But they went after Indigo because, why?
00:43:53.700 Because she's Jewish, not anti-Zionist, anti-Jew.
00:43:57.900 Let's call it out for what it is.
00:44:00.560 They're getting sick of it.
00:44:01.560 In Calgary, I mean, we saw in Washington the other day,
00:44:03.940 200,000 people came out in support of Israel.
00:44:07.180 You know, they were Jews and non-Jews alike.
00:44:08.520 Came out and overwhelmed the hate crowds,
00:44:10.760 overwhelmed the hate mobs,
00:44:11.700 because that's what they are,
00:44:12.520 and managed to hold up fantastic.
00:44:14.760 And you know the difference, too?
00:44:15.800 No spray-painted windows,
00:44:17.040 no smashed glass,
00:44:18.400 no rioting,
00:44:19.240 no tear gas,
00:44:20.080 no attacking police.
00:44:21.060 Unlike the hate mobs
00:44:22.080 who come out with the pro-Palestine group
00:44:24.460 that make a mess,
00:44:26.000 that threaten people,
00:44:26.840 that leads to arrests,
00:44:27.840 that leads to evangelism every time.
00:44:30.260 Those jerks come out in the streets.
00:44:31.760 Well, Calgary tried.
00:44:32.640 They tried to have a group.
00:44:35.460 There was a Jewish organization
00:44:36.840 wanted to bring about people
00:44:38.020 to stand up,
00:44:40.980 you know,
00:44:41.120 speak out for the release of the hostages
00:44:44.540 to try and support Israel.
00:44:47.000 And the Calgary police warned them.
00:44:48.420 They tried to follow the rules.
00:44:49.560 Yeah, that's almost the mistake they made.
00:44:50.720 They tried to call City Hall
00:44:51.780 to get a permit
00:44:52.420 so you could be on the steps of City Hall
00:44:54.180 and, you know,
00:44:57.360 do their protest out there
00:44:59.180 or support demonstration.
00:45:00.880 And the police said,
00:45:01.540 we don't know if we can keep you safe.
00:45:02.760 We strongly suggest you don't do it.
00:45:04.540 Like, they basically said,
00:45:06.460 you're going to get attacked
00:45:08.060 by the mob of Jew haters.
00:45:10.140 You see, here's,
00:45:10.940 it's a Soneko,
00:45:12.160 kiss my ass. 0.98
00:45:12.760 Here's a commenter,
00:45:13.300 Zionists are the Nazi version of Jews. 1.00
00:45:14.920 You know what?
00:45:15.540 When you're going to call a Jew a Nazi,
00:45:16.900 I'm going to block you from the comments.
00:45:18.040 How's that sound?
00:45:18.520 Because I'm sick of that crap.
00:45:19.660 I'm sick to hell of it.
00:45:23.700 It just crosses the line.
00:45:26.080 When you make a statement like that,
00:45:27.560 you're showing the anti-Semitism.
00:45:29.500 And I'm tired as hell of it.
00:45:31.780 So, guys,
00:45:33.740 either way,
00:45:34.560 the protesters,
00:45:37.860 the pro-Israel ones
00:45:39.220 had to reschedule,
00:45:40.400 had to leave.
00:45:40.840 And what happened?
00:45:41.600 A bunch of the Jew-hating
00:45:42.860 pro-Hamas ones
00:45:43.780 came out
00:45:44.140 and blocked sea trains
00:45:45.280 and caused mayhem and havoc
00:45:47.040 in downtown Calgary.
00:45:48.940 And it's wrong.
00:45:51.020 It's wrong.
00:45:51.860 We've got to stand up, guys.
00:45:53.600 We've got to stand up.
00:45:54.580 This shouldn't be happening out here.
00:45:55.820 And I'm tired
00:45:56.380 of that term.
00:45:58.240 I'm tired of people
00:45:58.940 replacing Jew with Zionist 0.62
00:46:00.180 and thinking it hides
00:46:00.960 your friggin' anti-Semitism.
00:46:03.800 I won't put up with it.
00:46:05.040 I certainly won't
00:46:05.600 in my comment scroll.
00:46:07.800 Either way,
00:46:08.440 I'll leave it there, guys.
00:46:09.700 There'll be lots more
00:46:10.240 to discuss next week.
00:46:11.700 And I do appreciate
00:46:13.100 the reasonable ones
00:46:14.400 coming in
00:46:14.960 to discuss things on here.
00:46:17.660 Make sure to tune in
00:46:18.620 to the pipeline
00:46:19.220 a little later
00:46:20.040 and, you know,
00:46:21.720 keep watching
00:46:22.200 the Western Standard
00:46:22.880 for the news
00:46:23.460 as it comes out.
00:46:24.980 Thanks,
00:46:25.440 and we will see you
00:46:26.640 next time at this time.
00:46:29.420 Canadian Shooting Sports Association.
00:46:31.580 Without the CSSA,
00:46:32.840 our gun rights
00:46:33.440 would have been taken
00:46:34.100 long, long ago.
00:46:36.120 These guys are
00:46:36.640 on the front lines
00:46:37.480 helping to draft
00:46:38.760 smart and intelligent
00:46:40.240 firearms regulations
00:46:41.820 and legislation in Canada
00:46:43.360 and, more importantly,
00:46:44.880 educating the public
00:46:45.860 about how we keep
00:46:47.200 guns out of the hands
00:46:47.940 of the wrong people.
00:46:49.120 We've become a member.
00:46:50.020 It's absolutely worth
00:46:51.180 every penny.
00:46:54.480 We'll see you next time.
00:47:24.480 We'll see you next time.
