00:02:51.140And we're going to talk about some of the political fallout here in Canada,
00:02:54.440some of the reaction from the would-be censors of the internet.
00:02:59.580Alberta doctor slash lockdown aficionado slash NDP activist.
00:03:07.140Joe Vipond, COVID Joe, is the safest man.
00:03:13.700He is the bubble boy. He is the safest man from COVID in Canada.
00:03:17.860And he caught COVID. He didn't just catch COVID.
00:03:20.400He's spreading it coast to coast from Ottawa back to Calgary.
00:03:25.080He is dropping off trinkets of COVID everywhere he goes.
00:03:29.100It's just delightful, exquisite hypocrisy.
00:03:33.940As Corey said on his show this morning, hypocrisy, Joe Vipont is thy name.
00:03:39.500We're going to talk about this just delicious story.
00:03:42.200And the federal government has called an inquiry, as they're required to by legislation, into the invocation of the Emergencies Act used to quash the Ottawa truckers' uprising.
00:04:00.120All sorts of games being played into there, not really talking much about was the government justified in invoking effectively martial law, but how bad were these protesters?
00:04:11.460That's really what it is. Inquiries off to a very, very bad start and all sorts of misinformation and lies still being peddled by federal politicians who invoked it themselves.
00:04:22.880Before we get started, though, we got to thank one of our wonderful sponsors, one of my favorite organizations around the Canadian Shooting Sports Association.
00:04:32.620As the regular watchers of the show will know, I've been a member of the Canadian Shooting Sports Association for well over a decade now.
00:04:38.520I trust these guys to defend my right to own, use, and purchase firearms safely in Canada.
00:04:45.860They're doing fantastic work lobbying the bloody politicians, making sure they understand,
00:04:51.960doing their best to make sure they understand the difference between an actual military assault rifle
00:08:33.020Corey, just give us some of the best examples.
00:08:38.140There's just been, I know there's been some here, there's been tons abroad, but just the sheer gripping panic that, God forbid, there would be less censorship on the internet.
00:10:14.900One of the things I understood they may be doing is they're trying to get rid of spams and trolls,
00:10:19.360right, and making it so you can't have an anonymous account.
00:10:23.280You know, you need to show yourself, for lack of a better word.
00:10:26.560You know, and that would be so good just to not have to deal with the, you know, the person who's got one followers spewing terrible stuff all over the place.
00:10:50.940How are they going to handle Twitter and its censorship?
00:10:53.700So we're going to come to that in a second.
00:10:54.880I know some of the attacks on Elon Musk have been actually racist in and of themselves.
00:11:00.080He's from South Africa, and they've said, oh, what are you going to ā this is going to ā he's going to go back to his apartheid roots, oppressing people of color and things like that.
00:11:10.480The fact that a man was born in a country doesn't mean he shares the ideology of a bygone, discredited regime.
00:11:17.560It's absolute lunacy what's been going on. But I think, let's now get into what you were saying, Dave, the Canadian government's reaction, what they're going to do, and some of the other censorious governments around the world. I know Germany, a lot of countries like that are trying to bring in heavy regulations of social media platforms, including Twitter.
00:11:39.680I've always found it baffling that Twitter or Facebook would give a crap what a country like Canada has to say.
00:11:47.500Twitter is not a Canadian company. It's not regulated by Canada.
00:11:52.300And unless the Canadian government is prepared to force Internet providers to block Twitter like it's the Chinese Communist Party,0.75
00:11:59.180there's nothing they can really do.0.69
00:12:00.500And I have a feeling that a man like Elon Musk, who bought Twitter for one real purpose, to set it free, as he would put it, free speech in the modern town square, I have a hard time seeing Elon Musk saying, well, Justin Trudeau told me that I have to do this, so I'm going to comply.
00:12:21.900What are the chances that Twitter says no?
00:12:25.480And then we get into kind of a crisis in terms of the Canadian government's attempts to control the Internet.
00:12:31.620Well, it's been one of the cornerstones of what they've been trying to do for months now.
00:13:18.720But that seems to be a bridge too far, even for these guys.
00:13:22.140They might like to, but they probably would never get away with it through Supreme Court challenges and things like that.
00:13:27.860As terrible as the Supreme Court is, I'm pretty sure the Supreme Court would not stand up for banning Twitter like it was a kiddie porn site or something.
00:13:35.560So I can foresee very easily a circumstance here, Corey, where the Trudeau government passes this new social media censorship legislation.
00:13:46.240and they send this to Elon Musk and he says, go F yourself.
00:13:54.780What can the federal government do in that case?
00:14:08.860I mean, I know there's conspiracy theories, but he's going to do what he will.
00:14:12.240And he makes it pretty clear to the world.
00:14:13.820he's got more money than the Canadian government almost. So what are they going to do to him? So
00:14:19.180that's when you can't control somebody though, you're fearful of them. I mean, he's also a
00:14:23.160little bit erratic. He's definitely eccentric. I don't think he's going to do anything dangerous,
00:14:26.680at least to your common person, but he's certainly dangerous to the established order.
00:14:30.620I think it's the big question mark about what he's going to do that scares them more than anything.
00:14:34.900I love it. Chaos. He's an agent of chaos. I love it. And it's just so beautiful. Okay.
00:14:41.600Okay. Well, speaking of spreading chaos, Dr. Joe Vipond. I can't even say it. Dave, tell us what Dr. Joe's doing. Give us a little background on him for those who don't know, too.
00:14:58.720Typhoid Joe, as I like to call him. He is sort of the media darling for the mainstream media. Every sort of lockdown, pro lockdown rally, he was there.
00:15:10.860rest of the nines and his masks and his scrubs and even uh with a stethoscope around and he's
00:15:16.620got to check the heart of everybody in the crowd everybody in the crowd and he was the go-to guy
00:15:21.040for the mainstream media oh yes we must lock down uh we're all going to die uh i think it was
00:15:26.660cory was one of the first people that actually exposed him as basically one of the huge donor
00:15:32.080to the ndp uh so he you know uh but that still didn't stop the mainstream media from from him
00:15:40.000being the go-to guy. So fast forward to year three of the pandemic, and Typhoid Joe travels to
00:15:50.160Ontario, complete with his basically toxic mask, tubing, and air, carries around an air filter,
00:15:58.080right? For a respirator. He travels like Darth Vader. Yeah. So he arrives in Ottawa and somehow
00:16:54.700Some sort of conference of pointy-headed people.
00:16:57.240Yeah, it was a climate activism or something.
00:17:00.740course because yeah don't forget he went over to scotland for the big one over there even though
00:17:05.460we're not supposed to travel and all that sort of stuff so uh he gets uh gets coveted goes around
00:17:13.220walks around even somebody tweeted you're more of a danger on parliament hill than all the truckers
00:17:17.380were for spreading these diseases so now he's got to get back to calgary somehow so he's decided
00:17:23.460gonna rent a car and drive i've done that drive three days minimum at 12 hours a day it's a long
00:17:30.740It's a long, hard slog, but he's going to do it somehow not interacting with another single human being and, you know, not spreading his COVID droplets across four provinces.
00:17:43.520Don't see how we can do it myself, but I'm sure his tweets will keep us breathlessly informed on his cross-Canada travels.
00:17:52.300Corey, I don't even have a question for you.
00:18:24.380I mean, I know he somehow got himself as a medical practitioner, but it doesn't mean he's not an idiot and he's showing it.
00:18:29.640I mean, he did figure out, I think with enough people screaming at him, that six hours after saying you're positive for COVID and then going out and doing selfie videos on Parliament Hill, a popular tourist area crowded with people, might not be a good idea.
00:18:43.620And then says he's going to do a road trip across the country.
00:18:46.080says he checked with the Ontario and as our reporter checks with the Ontario site says
00:18:51.440must, and it's in big bowl black, must isolate for five days after a positive test. He's breaking
00:18:58.380every rule he's pushed. I mean, just a few months ago, people are digging up all his beautiful
00:19:01.920tweets and shoving them back in his hypocritical mug and he deserves it and it looks bloody good
00:19:05.560on him. Some of it, he was calling for people to be locked up for 14 days if they even came
00:19:10.860in contact with a traveler who may carry COVID. This was only a few months ago,
00:19:16.000much less if you tested positive for it. And the thing to get me is how many hours of airtime has
00:19:22.440this medical miscreant gotten on mainstream media? They keep going to him. They keep talking to him
00:19:29.540like he's an expert in something. He's a fool. And I bet you within a month or so, we're going
00:19:34.860to see him on CBC or CTV as an expert explaining to us why we should lock ourselves up because
00:19:38.960we're a danger to society. That's all I got. Not much chance of him coming on your show,
00:19:43.260is there? Probably not. Well, he's welcome, though, by all means. Come in studio. I'm
00:19:47.800vaccinated. Corey? Yes. I want you to invite him. I want you to invite him. And, you know,
00:19:54.360Corey will be polite because, you know, he's always polite to guests. He's polite to a guest,
00:19:58.420even if the guest is a twat. I'm not going to censor myself there. Yes. I just, okay. I didn't
00:20:04.400say, Corey's always polite, even if they might not deserve a polite reception. He's polite to our
00:20:10.140guests. That's the decent thing to do. I'd love to see him. I have a feeling, I have a feeling he
00:20:15.480won't, but nothing to be lost in asking. He loves the camera. He certainly does. Okay. Well, before
00:20:22.580we move on to our next topic, Corey, why don't you tell our listeners and viewers why they should
00:20:28.120check out Bitcoin well? Why should they check out Bitcoin well? Well, because if you're, you know,
00:20:32.800digital currencies in general. I mean, they're complicated. They're scary. A lot of people are
00:20:36.980new to it. You need to be led into it in some ways for a lot of people if it's new. Bitcoin
00:20:41.700Well is a trustworthy company. I think that's a lot of the biggest problem with these digital
00:20:45.260currencies. You're not sure if you know who to trust, if it's legit. These guys are Alberta
00:20:49.400based. They're on the ground. They're publicly traded and they give one-on-one service. So it's
00:20:53.740not, as I like pointing out, you know, some call center across the planet that's telling you about
00:20:57.920these things, or you go on a website and a little pop-up window comes up with someone to chat with
00:21:01.660you know, live one-on-one across the table with a person talking to you about it. They're there
00:21:06.440to educate you, walk you through digital currency, see if it is for you. It might not be for you. I
00:21:10.340mean, they're a good, honest service and they're legitimate. And they never hang on to your money.
00:21:15.100It's non-custodial. So you always have it. They're just the facilitator to get you into the digital
00:21:18.820currency world. When we've got a government that, as we're going to talk about in the next subject,
00:21:22.960is prone to coming in and seizing your bank accounts and stealing your money, I think you'd
00:21:26.320be crazy not to put it in a few new spots. And Bitcoin is certainly one of them. So bitcoinwell.com.
00:21:31.660take control of your money. Check it out. We all, all three of us sitting around the table here,
00:21:36.900we all use Bitcoin. Well, it's, it's the way to go. Keep the government's grubby hands off my
00:21:40.920dollars. I actually forget dollars. Screw dollars. I like Bitcoins. All right. We'll get a little
00:21:47.940Fritz College fun going with Bitcoin. There we go. Actually not a bad idea. Donations welcome.
00:21:54.920Yes. All right. So the federal government in Ottawa has called an inquiry as per a requirement of the Emergencies Act.
00:22:04.300They had to call an inquiry. I suppose they took some very interesting interpretation of the act's language because this act has never been used before.
00:22:13.280The last time it's been used was in its previous incarnations as the War Measures Act.
00:22:18.440This act is supposed to have a few safety valves in it, one of which is that there has to be an
00:22:24.200inquiry called within a certain period of time afterwards to report on the reasonable use of
00:22:31.820invoking the Emergencies Act and those kinds of powers. Was it justified? Was it a genuine
00:22:39.960threat to Canada's national security and sovereignty and borders that could not be
00:22:43.800resolved with existing legislation. That inquiry has been called, but the liberals have taken an
00:22:50.500interesting interpretation of it. They're not, the mandate of the inquiry is not into, was the
00:22:56.740government justified based on some real threat? Inquiry is essentially, you can elaborate on this
00:23:03.500Dave, was, were the truckers that this was called against bad? Bad truckers, bad truckers. Well,
00:23:11.860Trudeau left it to basically the very last hours that he had the legal opportunity to do so, to call this inquiry.
00:23:19.420He then appoints a liberally appointed judge who's had connections to the Liberal Party, not surprisingly.
00:23:27.900But he does have the power to call and get witnesses to testify.
00:23:33.980No doubt the Liberals will hide behind cabinet confidentiality.
00:23:36.900confidentiality. Oh, no, we can't talk about that. But interestingly, that's been overturned in
00:23:44.120Alberta. Dr. Hinshaw is going to have to testify about that. But there's also another inquiry
00:23:49.200that's already started. That's the House of Commons inquiry. And a couple of stories today
00:23:56.180that we have on this site left me gobsmacked, absolutely gobsmacked. Our Justice Minister,
00:24:27.520and burn the buildings down and the horror of the horror.
00:24:30.020Well, that's already been debunked. The Ottawa Police Service is investigated and says it's got nothing to do with the truckers. Yet our justice minister is standing or sitting in front of this House of Commons committee yesterday saying that was one of the reasons. It's still propagating the fake news.
00:24:51.200And then in the same session, he says that one of the reasons they justified bringing in the Emergencies Act was because of what CBC was broadcasting.
00:25:15.040They tried to link it to Vladimir Putin.
00:25:18.100One of the reasons they brought in the act was because of a CBC report that it was all foreign funded, all this media flowing in from out of the country.
00:25:40.340And if you're watching the CBC and you're basing your political decisions on what the CBC shows, God help this country.
00:25:52.520Corey, do you think the Liberals have more or less already invoked cabinet confidentiality when it comes to the parliamentary inquiry or from the House of Commons inquiry into this?
00:26:04.820I'm guessing they're going to make the same attempt to invoke cabinet confidentiality.
00:26:10.340as it applies to the judicial inquiry. Although that is not an ironclad defense. As Dave mentioned,
00:26:19.140we've got the case going on here. It's not an inquiry, but it's a court case. In Alberta here,
00:26:24.820we've got Dina Hinshaw on the stand testifying around, you know, was it, you know, use of1.00
00:26:33.320lockdowns and arresting people, beating up kids for playing hockey. Were all these things reasonable
00:26:38.160from the threat of COVID, and she's been invoking cabinet confidence. Judges here have stricken that
00:26:45.400down. I'm not sure how much of that parallel is going to carry over to there, but
00:26:50.320do you have any sense that this inquiry is actually going to turn up something embarrassing
00:26:58.060on the Liberal government's invocation of the Emergency Act, or do you think that it's likely
00:27:03.060that this is going to help them skirt around it? Yeah, if it turns up anything, it'll be my mistake.
00:27:07.420I mean, they've appointed a judge who's clearly liberal friendly.
00:27:11.200As you said, cabinet confidentiality isn't ironclad,
00:27:14.080but you need a very strong-willed justice to want to start trying to cut through that.
00:27:17.840And I don't see the will coming from this justice.
