00:00:00.000 .

00:00:30.000 .

00:01:00.000 .

00:01:30.000 Thank you.

00:02:00.000 Thank you.

00:02:30.000 good day today is december 1st 2021 you're watching the pipeline on the western standard

00:02:54.320 thank you very much for joining us it's going to be a great day as we have a powwow discussing

00:03:00.000 Woke Words for White People, the CBC's list of words that at least I shouldn't say.

00:03:07.220 We're going to, well, we're going to have a little powwow about it.

00:03:11.740 Joining me, as always, is Western Standard News Editor Dave Naylor.

00:03:16.660 Derek, I can't believe it's December already.

00:03:20.160 Where's the year going?

00:03:21.740 It's been a hell of a year for us, though.

00:03:23.800 Very good.

00:03:24.200 And welcoming, not as usual, in a different world now, Western Standard Assistant Opinion and Broadcast Editor, Corey Morgan.

00:03:35.200 Hey, I'm looking forward to climbing the company totem pole today.

00:03:38.660 Climb the greasy ladder.

00:03:42.360 Corey is going to be taking on a greater leadership role in the Western Standard.

00:03:45.840 I know many of you like him more than you like me, so you'll probably be happy about that. 0.68

00:03:50.260 Today, we're going to be talking about words for white people, the CBC's list of words that you should not be saying. 0.81

00:03:56.840 I'll make you a deal. I'll stop saying powwow if everybody who's not of a European lineage stops speaking English. 0.72

00:04:06.020 Deal, eh? 1.00

00:04:06.280 Sure, that'll happen.

00:04:07.040 That sounds like a reasonable trade.

00:04:10.320 Compromise. It's reasonable.

00:04:11.460 See how interesting these people are?

00:04:12.440 Okay. We're going to be talking about, what else? We got the, well, I'm calling it the Xi Jinping variant. The Xi variant, which the WHO does not call.

00:04:25.240 Omicron.

00:04:25.940 They're calling it Omicron, Omicron. Not sure. Not Omicron.

00:04:29.860 Omicron.

00:04:30.600 Omicron. I'm calling it the Xi Jinping variant. Actually, the whole thing is the Xi Jinping variant. 0.91

00:04:35.500 And we're also going to be talking about a Calgary doctor who had his office raided by, was it the College of Physicians?

00:04:43.880 It was, indeed, yes. Scary story.

00:04:47.420 Very scary story. We are raiding doctor's offices now in the free world.

00:04:52.840 All right, before we get started, I want to thank all of our Western Standard members for your continued support.

00:04:58.060 Without you, we wouldn't have a job, especially Corey. He's the first to go because he's a new guy.

00:05:03.340 some people might bail in hopes

00:05:06.340 that that's going to bring me out of there 1.00

00:05:49.940 I think that's what hipsters name their kids, right?

00:05:51.820 I think so.

00:05:52.440 Okay.

00:05:53.040 All right, well, let's get started

00:05:54.300 with the Xi Jinping variant.

00:05:57.380 Dave.

00:05:58.580 Here we go again, Derek.

00:06:00.560 this is the omicron virus which was discovered in southern africa a couple weeks ago a variant of

00:06:07.360 the covet 19 already spreading like wildfire 23 countries as of this morning reported cases

00:06:16.400 first breakout was in in the netherlands among a group of air passengers from nigeria

00:06:23.360 were heading home around the world a whole bunch of them came to canada we've had

00:06:29.920 returning nigerian travelers in british colombia alberta ontario and quebec all test positive for

00:06:37.200 the the variant and they're all uh isolating at home late yesterday the government also brought

00:06:45.360 in more strict air regulations meaning every traveler coming into the country will be required

00:06:51.840 to take a covet test at the airport after you land and then you have to isolate until your

00:06:58.480 test results are known this is despite the fact you could have already be double vaxxed or

00:07:04.320 triple vax with a booster doesn't matter every returning traveler into the country

00:07:09.360 at airports gets tested u.s arrivals are exempt uh so your golfing holiday in palm springs is good

00:07:17.840 your beach vacation in cancun you'll be tested uh if you're allowed to actually fly on a plane if

00:07:23.600 you're allowed to get on a plane anyways but i guess that's that's a different story so i mean

00:07:29.440 i'm obviously not a doctor or i'd be somewhere else at this particular point but uh everything

00:07:35.120 i've read says it's this omicron virus is way more uh catchable uh than than the regular delta virus

00:07:46.080 or any other form of it but it's less harmful uh you're not going to see the uh hospitalization

00:07:53.520 rates uh the uh covert rate or the the omni rate in like south africa up hundreds of percents over

00:08:02.160 the last last week but hospitalizations seem to be staying fairly stable so uh still a developing

00:08:09.760 story and i'm sure there'll be more to come over the uh the next several days but it's uh you know

00:08:15.040 here we go again maybe more lockdowns at christmas time new variant right on time uh

00:08:22.480 for a new round of lockdowns cory does this sound ominous

00:08:29.520 do we have a wah wah sound uh yeah i i thought it was good i'm glad you did we're gonna save that

00:08:36.880 for a headline it's it's just exhausting you know i mean of course in the media just latched

00:08:44.880 on. I mean, here we go. Panic, panic, panic, fear, fear, fear, you know, not least Dr. Vipon.

00:08:51.660 I mean, he was calling for immediate hard restrictions. We've got to get in here. We

00:08:55.620 don't even know anything about this. I mean, there's some reasonable medical professionals

00:08:59.960 who are out there saying, Hey, let's watch this. This is something to be concerned about. But so

00:09:03.680 far it seems to be highly virulent, but low symptoms, you know, a cold. But we slap in,

00:09:12.460 rush with those lockdowns, get in there. I mean, the Canadian Medical Association recently came

00:09:17.040 up with a bunch of stats on all the damage that lockdowns have caused and the amount of people

00:09:20.080 have died from deferred medical treatments and things like that. Like, we've got to be careful

00:09:23.920 here in freaking out with these things whenever they come. I mean, if we start deferring a bunch

00:09:28.440 more medical procedures, more people are going to die from something we don't even know is going

00:09:31.780 to kill more people of its own. But the rush to spread fear through the public has begun

00:09:37.960 and it's off to the races.

00:09:40.200 The other thing noteworthy, as you pointed out,

00:09:42.500 I don't know what authority determines the names for these.

00:09:45.080 You know, they decided it's going to be the Greek alphabet,

00:09:47.040 but they actually did. 0.75

00:09:48.380 WHO skipped one so that we don't offend the communists in China,

00:09:53.200 who I really don't care if they're offended, 0.65

00:09:55.200 but the yes that shows their priorities.

00:09:57.420 We're actually going to jump them onto this one.

00:10:01.220 And if we remember, you know what I mean?

00:10:02.400 These make it memorable.

00:10:03.500 The Lambda virus, that was supposed to wipe us all out. 0.77

00:10:05.540 All I could think of was Revenge of the Nerds.

00:10:07.960 But these things, that one came and went with very little impact, and this one might too, so let's not go too crazy yet.

00:10:15.060 Yeah, and I saw one headline yesterday from a mainstream media outlet that said Canadians starting to panic about Omicron.

00:10:21.860 Well, you know, no, we're not.

00:10:23.280 Where are these people?

00:10:23.920 We're not panicking.

00:10:25.340 There's not mass evacuations heading into the mountains.

00:10:29.120 I think as Corey just said, we're at the point of exhaustion.

00:10:32.720 And okay, here we go again, and you expect the worst.

00:10:35.640 but you know let's let's hope that common sense prevails you know if it kills me maybe i'll eat

00:10:42.040 my words but i mean we're all at some point we're all going to get corona we're all going to get

00:10:46.640 covid at some point vaccinated or unvaccinated uh the new variants there's even beginning with

00:10:52.600 delta there's significant evidence to suggest that uh as viruses do they mutate to adapt to

00:11:00.840 new circumstances, they adapt to make so that the new strains are more resistant to vaccines.

00:11:07.920 The vaccines seem quite effective with early variants, but these things change. And this is

00:11:13.480 a highly adaptable virus. I don't think we're going to run out of Greek alphabet. Maybe we

00:11:18.800 will actually have to come back and use the new and Z letters of the Greek alphabet.

00:11:25.840 What was it I saw from somebody who's seen a brilliant online saying, you know, once we run

00:11:29.420 the Greek alphabet, we can go on like hurricanes and name them after women and we get to the

00:11:32.700 Karen virus. Now that's the one that's going to take us all. We're done. I think we should use 0.76

00:11:37.020 the Chinese alphabet. Just an idea. Dave, is there any, what have we heard from actions that

00:11:48.140 governments have taken or are actively contemplating both from the federal government,

00:11:52.540 Ottawa, the Alberta government, and other Western governments? Well, the feds have put

00:11:57.180 air restrictions on i think 10 countries now including yesterday nigeria where all the cases

00:12:03.820 seem to be coming from they say they may have to do more quote unquote may

00:12:09.900 whatever whatever that means but certainly the pcr and the self-isolation tests at the airport

00:12:15.900 are going to cause a lot of problems for people who took a week to go to mexico and

00:12:23.100 were expected to go back to work on monday now they've got to wait at home

00:12:26.620 until they get the results of of their covid tests uh not too much action yet on the uh

00:12:34.220 the provincial fronts they're certainly doing contract contact tracing uh with everybody all

00:12:41.500 the the travelers who have come back they're talking with their families and anybody they

00:12:45.660 might have uh come across but really it's to me it's a moot point because they you know they've

00:12:51.580 they tested this these people a week ago test results have just come back now so in the last

00:12:56.940 week they've been uh you know they've been out in their community and uh and uh you know doing

00:13:01.340 things with their friends so it's late it's too late it's out there uh there's no point putting

00:13:06.220 in a a cork in the bottle now it's just it's just way too late yeah but uh the uh you know the as

00:13:13.660 i said the trudeau government said yesterday they may have to take further steps so i guess we wait

00:13:18.300 all right well let's move to the talk the guy was i'm really looking forward to getting at

00:13:26.460 cbc's list of woke words for white people uh dave tell us tell us about this story this is

00:13:33.980 well this is this is pure you know i generally want the cbc privatized i know i imagine almost

00:13:41.100 everybody watching right now wants the cbc privatized every once in a while i like them

00:13:46.460 there, just as a window into the dark soul of these twisted woke folks, we can really see what

00:13:53.660 they're at. And this is not hidden. I mean, there's certain things you say to your buddies

00:13:59.400 over beers that you don't see employee company. And there's some certain things you definitely

00:14:04.360 don't see on TV. These guys put it right up front for the world to see. Tell us about the story.

00:14:08.920 This is red meat for our readers, Derek. CBC put out a list of 17, 18 words yesterday.

00:14:16.460 that they had their own panel of black and indigenous journalists

00:14:22.980 and racialized journalists come up with this list,

00:14:26.880 and they also took in some input from the public. 0.98

00:14:30.980 But it's fairly ridiculous.

00:14:32.600 I urge everybody to go and read Linda Slobodian's column on the topic.

00:14:37.360 It's on our website today.

00:14:39.080 But I just happen to have, Derek, a handy-dandy list of all the banned words.

00:14:44.020 So let's go. OK, so this is the list of words the CBC says white people should not say cannot say they say we're not supposed to say for your listening pleasure.

00:14:54.340 We're going to read every single one. Sure. Drumroll, please, Corey. Number one, ghetto.

00:15:01.660 I feel like David Letterman. So you're not allowed to say ghetto ghetto in the ghetto.

00:15:07.000 So why are we not allowed to say ghetto?

00:15:09.440 Well, because it talks, the ghetto, you think of downtrodden black communities, crime ridden.

00:15:16.020 I think of a portion of Poland in some places.

00:15:21.020 These were real things.

00:15:22.240 These were utilized as words for a number of things that involved it.

00:15:24.900 These were originally places where Jews were heard.

00:15:27.640 No, it's a symbol of heroism.

00:15:31.340 Okay.

00:15:32.080 Number two, you cannot say to sell someone down the river.

00:15:37.000 Now, that comes from the old days of slavery, I think, when slaves were transported down the river.

00:15:49.280 Not a phrase I use commonly.

00:15:52.240 Whenever I'm around a person who was a North American slave, I don't use it.

00:15:58.140 I've never used it in the company of a slave, no.

00:16:00.460 Okay.

00:16:02.240 Here's one I don't understand at all.

00:16:05.100 Brainstorm.

00:16:06.540 Maybe that's because it offends the people at the CPC.

00:16:09.500 Could be.

00:16:10.460 Don't use the word brain around our state broadcasters.

00:16:13.180 Okay, I'll have to do some more research on that one.

00:16:18.220 Cannot use blackmail.

00:16:20.540 Okay, I understand it's being part of the lexicon for generations.

00:16:25.020 You can go and blackmail somebody, but I guess...

00:16:28.220 And apparently the word origins had absolutely nothing to do with race.

00:16:31.980 That came from, I believe, the UK and it was something about...

00:16:34.940 I think with that one, they said they just don't want to associate the word black with bad, light with good.

00:16:42.240 I don't know.

00:16:43.180 I don't apply that to people.

00:16:44.360 If he's scared of the dark, does that mean he's an inherent racist?

00:16:48.540 Yeah.

00:16:48.940 Okay.

00:16:49.460 Yeah, yeah.

00:16:49.820 Just got a coverage.

00:16:50.560 So, like, I guess in movies, like, we'll take Sauron and we'll put him in pink because, you know, colors don't have cultural connotations.

00:16:58.560 No comment.

00:16:59.600 Next word.

00:17:00.420 Savage.

00:17:01.100 Can't say savage. 1.00

00:17:04.060 Sonya's in trouble.

00:17:04.940 Oh, good point. Energy Minister of Alberta, Sonia Savage. Can't say spooky. Now, we did a story on this before Halloween that a theater company in Edinburgh had banned the word spooky. I guess it goes back to, you know, it was long being used in history as a non-derogatory word, but I guess somebody used it once in a while.

00:17:31.780 the 40s and 50s. Some people start using it as a derogatory, what they call someone a spook.

00:17:37.500 It was a derogatory word for black people. But it didn't start as one. It was, you know,

00:17:42.600 we talked about, oh, I got spooked. This is spooky. This has been around forever.

00:17:46.760 And then people, it's a pretty bad epithet to use. I mean, the thing is with these woke lunatics, 0.98

00:17:52.260 and that's what they are, they're lunatics. Context doesn't matter to them anymore. It 0.99

00:17:56.720 doesn't matter, you know, where the word came from, how it's being used, the context in which

00:18:00.240 you're using it now they want to wipe that out it's ridiculous you cannot say gypped uh i guess 0.56

00:18:06.720 that's uh gypsies gypsies and uh you know you're not supposed to say gypsies roma people traveling 0.72

00:18:12.160 people okay did you bleep that james uh no no we only bleeped cory okay uh i guess we're just not

00:18:19.980 supposed i guess i sort of see that one yeah it's one that i can kind of that's one that started

00:18:26.580 with an ethnicity and turned into a later term. I mean, that began from gypsy and was turned into,

00:18:30.900 as opposed to, say, spooky, where spooky was there first. It was the word first, and then, yeah. So 0.58

00:18:35.020 there's a little bit in there. I kind of get that one, you know, because, you know, we know what it

00:18:39.120 means, and it's, you know, kind of. Okay, we'll give them that one. Powwow. Now, I don't know how

00:18:46.740 many indigenous groups, native indigenous groups, use the word powwow themselves. You know, they're

00:18:54.060 going to have their powwow this weekend.

00:18:56.700 The Sutina powwow is a huge

00:18:58.460 20 minutes to the west.

00:19:00.440 Sutina powwow on a big billboard.

00:19:02.900 Huge celebration

00:19:03.940 of indigenous cultures.

00:19:05.920 But white people can't say it. 0.97

00:19:07.560 Well, Sutina are obviously racist 0.98

00:19:09.880 against First Nations. 1.00

00:19:12.480 That's our petition.

00:19:14.280 You can't say crippled.

00:19:16.480 Why? 1.00

00:19:17.660 It's sort of like an old, some old-fashioned

00:19:20.020 term. It's one that's gone out of use

00:19:21.680 over the years. But again, I don't know if we

00:19:23.900 the state broadcaster tell us whether we can or not. It's used often. I mean, like if I had my

00:19:29.900 legs broken, you might call me crippled, but you might, it's not a common term to use, but we often

00:19:34.940 use it for in another more amorphous contexts. Like, oh, my car is crippled. You know? Yeah.

00:19:43.260 They won't like it in any context. So why can't we say crippled now? You're supposed to use words

00:19:49.660 like handicapped or disabled. Well, I think handicapped is on a date now, too. Oh, yeah. 1.00

00:19:53.420 I can't keep up. 1.00

00:19:55.580 Differently abled or developmentally disabled. We can't even have you want to show. Like every 1.00

00:20:01.740 second word, you're going to get canceled. Okay. Tribe.

00:20:07.580 I can't get back to... I heard that there was a culture, the ones that were in the ghetto,

00:20:11.980 and they typically came out of tribes as well. But I don't think they...

00:20:17.420 Every nation event somewhat came from tribes. I mean, the ancient Celts were a series of tribes, and they became clans. You know, my family's from Germany. We were tribes, you know, tribes coming across the Rhine and back in Rome, the sway by Teutons. Everyone's had tribes. Tribes become nations in times. They're kind of proto-nations. So why is tribe racist?

00:20:41.180 Assuming it's just because it was used to describe bands of Native Americans.

00:20:48.180 And not in a derogatory way. That's the thing that gets me to what at all was derogatory about that use of, you know, talking about a cultural group or whatever you'd want to call it. It's just absurd.

00:21:01.180 Yeah, it's another word from history that is being reversed. Black sheep cannot say black sheep.

00:21:08.180 black sheep black sheep come get me black sheep black sheep okay we'll leave that one alone

00:21:15.620 here's a strange one blindsided you can't say you were blindsided by a hit or blindsided by

00:21:21.060 an announcement what i guess it makes fun of the blind i challenged the cbc to find

00:21:26.820 one blind person who really had a problem with that can't do it yeah they won't be able to find

00:21:32.420 people would agree that they're blind they would and sometimes they get surprised do they say

00:21:37.220 they're blindsided? I don't know. Probably. It's a very common word. The people offended with that

00:21:43.140 word are not blind. Exactly. First world problem. That is beautiful because this whole list is a

00:21:51.700 first world problem. Exactly. This whole discussion is a first world problem. The CBC has created a

00:21:57.360 first world problem here. Only in that comfortable privileged as they left here's world where you

00:22:02.880 You could sit and navel gaze and actually put out a list like that.

00:22:07.700 So why can't we say first world problem?

00:22:09.660 I think because it would then make fun of the third world problems,

00:22:13.180 which are infinitely more serious than the first world problems.

00:22:16.700 So we'll just pretend that they don't have problems and we're all in the same world. 0.78

00:22:20.020 You see, while we're sitting here debating CBC woke words for white people,

00:22:24.140 are people starving? Are people fighting wars?

00:22:26.940 I like first world problems. They're funny.

00:22:30.660 I'd rather have first world problems than third world problems.

00:22:33.260 Yeah.

00:22:34.940 Spirit animal.

00:22:36.940 You can't say.

00:22:38.620 Why?

00:22:39.600 Oh, first.

00:22:40.180 It would be a First Nations cultural appropriation thing.

00:22:44.460 Well, there's animals that have been around before the First Nations, and spiritual people have been.

00:22:50.600 Do you have a spirit animal?

00:22:52.600 Mine?

00:22:54.580 Gilbert Gottfried.

00:22:55.300 you know

00:22:58.040 you know why we have Christmas trees today

00:23:00.440 because my ancestors used to worship

00:23:02.920 trees we were tree

00:23:04.740 worshippers that was our stuff

00:23:06.660 and I'm sure we were

00:23:08.300 yeah animals and stuff I mean

00:23:10.100 North American First Nations are not the

00:23:12.720 first people to have spirituality with

00:23:14.760 animals and stuff

00:23:15.640 it's no wonder you lost two world wars

00:23:17.780 worshipping trees

00:23:19.060 but you know

00:23:22.640 you should have made that comment after Christmas

00:23:24.560 bonuses are rewarded. Lame.

00:23:29.500 Cannot say the word lame. Like your joke, your 0.92

00:23:32.340 Japanese. Like my jokes, lame. I guess it makes fun 1.00

00:23:36.500 of the aforementioned cripples. I wouldn't

00:23:40.380 call someone lame in the sense that they can't walk. No, but that's what

00:23:44.440 it's going back to. But certainly you have lame jokes, you have lame

00:23:48.280 stories. I would even refer to it as mobility. I mean, if I was injured, I guess, albeit

00:23:52.280 temporarily and limping around. I might say I'm lame right now. I mean, aside from my attitude.

00:23:56.840 Yeah, not a word that's normally in use. This one's strange to me. Grandfathered in.

00:24:04.280 You cannot say something is grandfathered in in a contract. Don't ask me why.

00:24:10.680 I read some bizarre interpretation that it was something to do with some rights that were

00:24:17.160 kept back

00:24:19.200 from freed slaves, and they called it

00:24:21.100 a grandfather clause

00:24:22.520 that kept them from being able to vote

00:24:24.960 a little longer after

00:24:26.460 the Civil War was finished. Some really

00:24:28.820 obscure reference, which again, 1.00

00:24:30.720 if I run across any free slaves, I promise 1.00

00:24:32.740 I will not see grandfathered in around you. 1.00

00:24:34.660 I promise right now. 0.91

00:24:36.560 So that's different than a Santa Claus.

00:24:38.780 Oh!

00:24:40.980 Speaking of lame.

00:24:42.480 Okay, and finally, we come to the end of the list. 0.99

00:24:45.640 Tone deaf.

00:24:47.160 as in the CBC 0.58

00:24:49.740 listening, like trying to find

00:24:51.680 viewers. Yes.

00:24:53.480 CBC is tone deaf when it comes to

00:24:55.520 trying to find viewers. Can't say that

00:24:57.660 makes fun of the deaf, I think. 1.00

00:24:59.840 Well, 1.00

00:25:00.920 they've surpassed the onion.

00:25:04.060 Yes, this is real news.

00:25:05.160 I don't want to cancel the CBC

00:25:07.380 anymore. I've seen

00:25:09.460 the light. I don't think we should cancel them.

00:25:11.320 I love this shit. Keep it coming, 1.00

00:25:13.440 CBC. If it didn't cost so much,

00:25:15.180 I'd say carry on.

00:25:17.160 But for a billion and some a year, man.

00:25:19.020 Okay, well, we should keep them alive, but, like, a little bit.

00:25:21.900 Like, we'll get rid of 99% of the budget, and we'll just allow a couple of, like,

00:25:25.900 Just on life support, if we're allowed to say that right now.

00:25:28.480 Focus groups.

00:25:29.440 No, no, no. 0.99

00:25:30.040 We'll hire just a couple of gender studies and social justice studies, PhD students. 1.00

00:25:35.760 Just look for the purple hair. 1.00

00:25:36.780 You know when you've got one. 0.66

00:25:38.160 Throw them in there.

00:25:38.780 Yeah, yeah.

00:25:39.080 We'll just, like, we'll just go to a post-grad.

00:25:41.700 Triggly puffs.

00:25:42.560 We'll go to the Carleton University post-grad lounge,

00:25:44.860 and we'll just hire the first three people

00:25:46.800 with ugly big frame glasses we can 1.00

00:25:48.760 find, and they can just write their shit 0.99

00:25:50.880 and call it the CBC, and we can 1.00

00:25:52.800 get that enjoyment from it. We'll just keep the most

00:25:54.780 woke core intact.

00:25:57.180 Sounds good.

00:25:58.940 Whew! That was

00:26:00.880 fun. Boy, I feel much more

00:26:02.880 sensitive.

00:26:04.660 That was fun. I want

00:26:06.860 to do it again. We're just going to look backwards now.

00:26:09.080 Alright.

00:26:12.900 You know what? We'll just

00:26:14.660 James and production, we'll just make a note

00:26:16.880 here. Please post every single word

00:26:18.900 the CBC says we should not say.

00:26:20.800 Please post all of them in the comments

00:26:22.380 just so people have

00:26:24.600 a list of these words

00:26:26.160 for posterity. It's too bad there wasn't

00:26:28.560 12 of them. You know, we could issue a calendar

00:26:30.500 with the word of the month and just

00:26:31.980 keep turning. The 12 words of wokeness.

00:26:34.300 The 12 words of wokeness. Hey, you know, we're on to something.

00:26:36.820 The 12 words of wokeness.

00:26:38.720 Oh, speaking of the tone. Human Rights Commission said

00:26:40.460 to me.

00:26:42.480 You know what? Let's make a note right now.

00:26:44.180 We should sell him down the road.

00:26:47.300 I've been a grandfather then.

00:26:50.520 Let's make a note right now.

00:26:54.000 I'm making a decision right now on the air.

00:26:55.800 Someone make a note in production here.

00:26:57.640 We're going to do a special feature, the 12 words of Wokemas.

00:27:02.340 We're going to do a new word every day.

00:27:05.100 It'll be like Lent.

00:27:05.880 Advent calendar.

00:27:07.080 You're going to look forward to something. 1.00

00:27:08.480 It'll be like Lent for Libertarians. 1.00

00:27:10.420 It's going to be great. 0.89

00:27:11.340 It's going to be great.

00:27:13.520 All right.

00:27:14.180 something less funny

00:27:16.360 much less funny

00:27:18.500 a Calgary doctor

00:27:20.260 had his office raided by

00:27:22.580 regulators, these regulators are not

00:27:24.620 technically the government but they're empowered by the government

00:27:26.800 given regulatory powers by government

00:27:28.520 Dave and I have kind of gone back and forth

00:27:30.620 is this the government, I think it is

00:27:33.020 sort of

00:27:34.000 it's a quasi-government body

00:27:36.200 it's a regulatory authority with government power

00:27:38.520 Dave, tell us what happened

00:27:39.940 yeah, very concerning stuff here Derek

00:27:42.340 Calgary family doctor

00:27:44.060 Dr. Dan Botha was in his office last Thursday morning when two people stormed in. They said

00:27:52.840 they were from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta and they demanded to see

00:27:57.900 his files. They were there looking for the number of people he had given exemptions to for the

00:28:04.820 COVID-19 virus. He voluntarily suggested, I've only done it twice. One was for a very young

00:28:12.920 patient who's suffering from great disabilities the other was it was a cancer patient whose

00:28:19.240 treatment he did not want to interfere with with the with the vaccine but these agents did not just

00:28:27.400 look at those two files they looked in i think close to 20 files now this is where it gets

00:28:34.200 interesting one of the files that they just so randomly happened to look at out of 10 000 files

00:28:40.120 and Dr. Botha's office was for a guy called Jeff Rath.

00:28:45.880 Now, he is a lawyer in Calgary who is, guess what,

00:28:49.360 suing the College of Physicians and Surgeons

00:28:51.520 over all these vaccine mandates that they are trying to enforce.

00:29:00.100 So you've got what Derek calls a government agency,

00:29:03.460 obviously making a beeline, in my opinion,

00:29:05.500 to this Calgary doctor's office to access the medical files

00:29:09.320 of a lawyer that is suing them.

00:29:12.440 The lawyer is outraged in considering legal action.

00:29:16.760 Sorry, they raided the legal office?

00:29:19.560 No, no, the doctor's office to get the lawyer's medical records.

00:29:22.300 Oh.

00:29:24.240 So the doctor's office is outraged.

00:29:29.180 The lawyer is outraged.

00:29:33.400 One of the files searched was of a two-year-old

00:29:37.440 who was who was given an exemption because of the the medical problems they are considering suicide

00:29:43.320 first not suicide excuse me suing for breach of medical privacy so it really a concerning story

00:29:50.700 where you've got government regulators seeking out private medical information on lawyers that

00:29:57.360 are suing them that's more serious than even I thought you should read to the bottom I probably

00:30:06.840 should. Well, Dave, I guess we're making another decision on the air here. We need to, I think we

00:30:13.520 need to stay on the story. We will. This is wild, wild authoritarian stuff. And I think I win the

00:30:20.940 argument that this is a government entity because you're only allowed to raid someone's office if

00:30:24.900 you're the government. It's under the Health Act that gives them the power. So if a piece of

00:30:30.120 government legislation empowers someone to raid an office, said raider is the government. I mean,

00:30:36.840 if the government passed a piece of legislation saying I'm allowed to raid the offices of the

00:30:42.120 Calgary Herald, well, I'd be eventually, I'm a branch of government at that point.

00:30:46.120 And I would not object. So I think what they're, maybe what they're looking for is they think that

00:30:51.560 because this guy has signed a couple of medical exemptions for vaccines, he's erroneously

00:30:55.760 signing these things that he should not be giving away. Frankly, I think you shouldn't have to,

00:31:03.440 you should be able to go to a doctor and get an exemption if you don't want to, period. It's

00:31:06.120 Personal choice. Look, I just wrote myself a permit right here. I can do what I want.

00:31:12.960 This empowers me to make my own decisions about my own damn life. But alas, I don't think the 0.97

00:31:20.620 government of Alberta is going to accept the authority of my own self-granted permit here.

00:31:25.640 So people are going to doctor's offices and trying to get exemptions. Some of them probably

00:31:32.040 with real medical issues. Some just probably for that, they've made the personal choice.

00:31:35.840 They don't want to do it. So they're going after this guy. Corey, is this, do you think they're

00:31:41.760 legitimately trying to find the doctor up to no good here? Is this intimidation? What do you

00:31:46.080 think is behind this? I think there's a bit of everything going on. I mean, just that odds of

00:31:50.620 it, the coincidence that it happened to be Jeffrey Rath was one of those ones that they dug out of

00:31:55.720 there. Come on, spare me. And it's thuggery. I mean, this is breaking into a private establishment

00:32:02.780 business. Certainly it's a regulated one, but there should be then a degree if for some reason

00:32:08.180 that an association or regulating body is going to come in and review things. I mean, if he was

00:32:12.840 a crackpot and prescribing ear candling for somebody with cancer, okay, we want to look

00:32:17.420 into this doctor, but you shouldn't have the authority to basically kick out the door and

00:32:21.900 start searching through files. That's a matter of going through a level of court or two and

00:32:25.320 some protections. I want to see a warrant here. Yes. He's not handing out exemptions left, right

00:32:30.620 and center. He's done two, what, two and two years. And he offered them here, here are your

00:32:35.480 files. And they said, no, that's not good enough. Rushed by him, went and dug up some more,

00:32:40.020 including the lawyer. Which reeks of attempted intimidation. What he should have done is told

00:32:45.480 him to piss off, get the police and come back with a warrant. Get a warrant approved by a judge

00:32:50.280 that this holds up, that this holds muster with the basic rule of law and some proof.

00:32:56.200 You need a warrant signed by a judge saying, okay, we have a reasonable cause to believe

00:32:59.980 that something illegal, normally criminal, has taken place here. I'm not aware. Was there a

00:33:07.060 warrant involved in this? No, the Health Act gives the college the power to do it.

00:33:12.200 Well, technically, the government's given AHS the right to come into the Western Standards

00:33:18.560 offices here. But there's no way in hell they're getting through the door without armed police

00:33:23.180 and a warrant. Everyone and anyone who's ever dealing with government intimidation,

00:33:28.360 any government official, period, entering your premises, require that they come back with armed

00:33:34.240 police officers and a warrant under all circumstances. Never let them in. I don't

00:33:38.840 care if it's routine. I don't care if you have nothing to hide. We have nothing to hide the

00:33:43.280 Western Standard, I very publicly said, we don't give a shit about what rules Jason Kenney passes 0.98

00:33:48.620 and impose imposes on businesses. We're governing ourselves accordingly. I think we're safe. 0.98

00:33:54.100 We are not social distance at the moment, but we like each other, mostly. And, you know,

00:34:00.240 we have our own rules here. Everyone makes their own decisions based on their own risk of the

00:34:03.840 standard. And but technically, the AHS has the right to just come on in. They gave a couple

00:34:10.000 months ago they gave us a nasty little phone call they're polite but a very unwarranted upon

00:34:16.080 attended phone call it's like hey we have reports you guys aren't following the rules i said that's

00:34:20.340 right we're not following the rules i said uh why not i said because i don't like them

00:34:25.560 and uh they're like oh well we'd like to maybe come pay a visit i said fine but you better have

00:34:30.580 armed police officers and bring a bloody warrant i'm still waiting on them uh so any any uh trolls

00:34:37.600 watching here uh we have still not complied with jason kenny's rules here and we have still not

00:34:44.880 been visited by ahs they've called uh but they happen to show the gonads to do it so if you're

00:34:49.540 watching from ahs right now come on we're still waiting for you uh cory anything not not much i'm

00:34:58.960 just watching as this develops i i mean raf it's funny he lives down in prittis right out by me

00:35:03.420 there. And that's where his offices are set up

00:35:05.420 and everything. And he's

00:35:07.140 a lively character

00:35:09.460 of a lawyer. They're triggering

00:35:11.440 somebody. I think they're going to be dealing

00:35:13.400 with a lot of follow-up from him. So we'll see as this unfold.

00:35:15.580 Triggered. Maybe that should be the new name of your show.

00:35:17.820 Oh, Triggered.

00:35:18.980 That's got to be on CBC's list.

00:35:21.360 It'll be on the next

00:35:23.620 school shootings

00:35:25.820 and all that.

00:35:27.180 Oh, yeah. Triggered.

00:35:29.600 Triggered's a good name for a show.

00:35:30.900 I like that. I kind of like it.

00:35:32.800 Good name for a horse.

00:35:34.240 That too. 0.99

00:35:35.020 Triggered is a great name for the West. 1.00

00:35:37.280 You know,

00:35:37.480 when we get bigger one day,

00:35:38.620 Western standard will have its own sponsored horse.

00:35:40.680 His name is going to be triggered.

00:35:43.000 All right.

00:35:44.300 Well,

00:35:44.780 that's it for today's show.

00:35:46.360 Again,

00:35:46.720 I want to thank all of our Western standard members for your generous

00:35:49.280 support.
