A 14-year-old girl who is autistic and transgirl striptease in front of adults in a bar is getting paid to do so, and it's not because she's a wacko. It's a Wacko Day in Parliament!
00:00:46.940Well, you know, we had a hard time coming to our list of topics today, Nigel, didn't we?
00:00:52.580We certainly did. By the time we'd worked through 10 wacko things about Justin Trudeau,
00:00:57.940You know, then we got the serious stuff.
00:01:00.980There was a lot of stuff, and so we've had to cut it down to four.
00:01:04.960But, you know, of course, we have to talk about the wacko thing in Parliament.
00:01:10.000Justin Trudeau says, you know, sorry, no, Pierre Polyev says Justin Trudeau has wacko policies,
00:01:17.220and he is a wacko for his legalization of hard drugs in British Columbia.
00:01:22.840And the huge kerfuffle that created included, you know, especially from some members of the press gallery who thought that this was a historic day on par with Pearl Harbor and September 11th, a day that shall live in infamy.
00:01:36.480Oh, everybody will talk about where were you the day that Pierre called Trudeau a wacko.
00:01:45.780We're going to have to get into it because the headline of what we just said there doesn't do it anywhere near justice.
00:01:49.900The Western Standards senior columnist, Linda Slobodian, breaking a very, very disturbing story out of Vancouver where a mother, I use that term loosely here, is having her 14-year-old biological daughter who is autistic and trans do drag queen stripteasing.
00:02:19.900for perverts in bars in front of adults who throw money at her as if she is an over 18 consenting
00:02:30.520adult. I believe that Linda's expression was not that they threw money at her, but they tucked
00:02:36.780money into places they shouldn't be. I mean, odd enough with an adult, but to do it to a 14 year
00:02:45.940old autistic trans kid in drag. I mean, we're into dystopian territory here. Stuff that you'd think0.99
00:02:55.820was a hoax, it was so extreme that you have to check it twice, check it three times. A great day
00:03:03.320for Alberta, a great day for oil. The Trans Mountain Pipeline is flowing. Let my people flow.
00:03:11.620So it's been a long time coming and grossly expensive to the taxpayer as things are once the government takes over a business.
00:03:19.480But at long last, Trans Mountain Pipeline pumping beautiful black gold to the West Coast.
00:03:28.080And train dead. Alberta's crazy plan for building rail everywhere. High speed rail, monorail, monorail, monorail. I don't know. A crazy plan that will cost tens of billions of dollars and never pay for itself. Designed as if we had the population density of the Netherlands or somewhere like that. Crazy, crazy stuff.
00:03:58.080okay so let's start with kind of the big story going on right now will we put an end to this
00:04:03.200wacko policy by this wacko crime industry no no no0.63
00:04:14.160that is not there are a couple of things which are going on here today
00:04:19.920which is not acceptable and i ask all members please to keep themselves to control themselves
00:04:29.560One, I'm going to ask the Honourable Leader of the Opposition to withdraw that term, which is not considered parliamentary.
00:04:41.980Mr. Speaker, I replace Wacko with extremist.
00:04:44.820I'm going to ask the Honourable Member to please...
00:04:47.820I'm going to ask the Leader of the Opposition once again to just withdraw that comment, please.
00:04:57.200And I'll invite the Honourable Member, I'm going to ask the Honourable Leader of the Opposition to please withdraw that comment, and simply withdraw that comment.
00:05:18.940I'll replace it with radical justice policy.0.91
00:05:21.720I am not asking to replace, I'm asking the Honourable Member to just simply withdraw.
00:05:27.200Mr. Speaker, I replace the word wacko with extremist.
00:05:33.940I ask the Honourable Leader of the Opposition, one last time, to please withdraw that comment
00:05:45.160I simply withdraw and replace with the aforementioned adjective.
00:05:48.600Mr. Poliev, I have to name you for disregarding the authority of the chair.
00:06:03.040Pursue it to the authority granted to me by Standing Order 11.
00:06:06.980I order you to withdraw from the House from the many participation by video conference for the remainder of this day's city.
00:06:14.480Okay, and you know, I've been a member of the Alberta legislature. I know the rules around these things. It's iffy if you call someone wacko or not. I've seen much worse things said and people not be thrown out.
00:06:28.500But if it was, Pierre Polyev did what you do when you're in that spot in Parliament, because I withdraw that comment and replace it with, in this case, he said extremist.
00:06:39.380And those who wish to punish themselves by watching Question Period will know that Justin Trudeau calls Pierre Polyev extremist every single day of the week.
00:06:47.480So that's clearly considered parliamentary language, at least if a liberal says it to a conservative.
00:06:51.240That wasn't enough, and he throws Pierre Polyev out of Parliament, causing the walkout of the whole conservative caucus.
00:06:58.500Okay, whatever. A lot of drama. The speaker should be fired for this or forced to resign, proving, again, he's letting his partisanship bleed into what is supposed to theoretically be a nonpartisan job.
00:07:10.820But what I'm really interested in was the reaction to it, particularly of the media.
00:07:16.640The most notable one for me was Althea Raj. She's on the CBC's at-issue panel, and she's, I think, a senior columnist or reporter for the Trauma Star.
00:07:28.020She's lefty, frontal star type, but I've always considered her fairly rational.
00:07:32.720You know, an interesting person to read.
00:07:35.440Don't agree with on many things, but at least a level-headed person who doesn't just fly off the handle.
00:07:43.400Let's pull up the tweet from Althea Raj.
00:07:47.140You know, as you said, Corey, do you remember where you were when Pierre Polyev called Justin Trudeau a wacko,
00:07:54.300So acting as if this was like 9-11 or September 11th, the most shocking thing to ever happen in Canadian history since bouncy castles and hot tubs invaded Parliament Hill.
00:09:20.080The votes have not been cast and counted yet, but, I mean, it's getting real hard to see a mathematical possibility for Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh to stay in power.
00:09:30.080And Pierre Polyev is not an Aaron O'Toole.
00:09:34.340He is a conservative, and, I mean, it's not going to be as great as people are probably dreaming about at night, but it's going to be a very significant change.
00:09:44.840He's promising to end the media subsidies.
00:09:46.940It's promising to defund the English side of the CBC.
00:09:51.780So that will very directly hurt grifter journalism organizations.
00:09:55.760I think it's just they're panicking and it's starting to seep out now and they're letting their mass down.
00:14:22.780And after that, you know, things got fizzy, and Mr. Polioff called him a wacko.
00:14:30.620Before he did that, though, he had an interesting response, you know, stating the prime minister has got no business calling anyone a white supremacist,
00:14:39.180considering that he spent the first half of his adult life in blackface.
00:14:42.380Yes, well, and that hits a little close to home for liberals.
00:14:46.120They really don't like being reminded that the most famous racist cosplayer on the planet is Justin Trudeau.
00:14:59.240No, actually, our columnist, Paul Forsyth, also referenced the fact that we have a very spotty record on racism,
00:15:05.840they the liberals when they were giving money through heritage canada to this notable anti-semite
00:15:12.080for a couple of years and i think what the guy was saying was outrageous uh not equaled until
00:15:17.280the recent round of protests so uh you know they have no leg to stand on calling anybody anything
00:15:23.840but to do with race so that brought the irony of the situation probably just got everybody worked
00:15:31.200up. We'll save this episode at home, folks. We're going to remember this day for all time. You'll
00:15:36.560be telling your grandkids about where you were when Justin Trudeau was called a wacko. All right.
00:15:45.180Now, this one is at least whacked. So senior columnist for the Western Standard, Linda1.00
00:15:52.860Slobodian, first to break this in Canada. The video first, a video first emerged in the United
00:15:59.020States we're not going to show the videos they're just far too disturbing and I think even sharing
00:16:05.420the videos is abusing the child further because one day this child might be freed from the madness
00:16:13.580being pushed by the mother here and much of society at large even governments we've got in
00:16:21.340Vancouver a mother with a 14 year old biological girl with autism and the mother seems to believe that her daughter is actually her son.
00:16:36.340I mean there are trans kids but in this case certainly seems like the mother is enthusiastic to push it and the child has mental health issues.
00:16:44.340I'm highly skeptical in this case to say the least, but it's not just the mental abuse of potentially falsely pushing that the child is trans here. It's that this child is now.
00:16:56.340Now, you have to follow along here at home.
00:17:01.420Biological female identifies as male, but dresses as a drag queen, so dressing as female again, to more or less strip for perverts, if I'm following that around right.1.00
00:17:23.280There's a lot of twists and turns as there are these things.
00:17:26.340but not a word so far from the police and child protective services and not a word from legacy
00:17:33.780media in any of this, Nigel. Well, the word from the police, Linda did contact them, and she sent
00:17:41.340them all the information that's in this column, and they said that was not enough information
00:17:47.240for them to do anything with. Now, I don't know what more you need, the names of the bars,
00:17:55.060the names of the people and so forth photographic and video evidence the video which by the way
00:18:03.060was up there for about 45 minutes and then somebody somebody took it down it took linda
00:18:09.780slobodian's article to get that filthy video i i watched about five seconds and i just didn't
00:18:16.180want it in my mind this was put up not as exposing them but as we're proud of this we're proud of
00:18:22.260this. This was not someone exposing child abuse. This was them breaking about it. This is little
00:18:26.900Nova Tropica, but that's her stage name. This is what she does. Anyway, that lasted about 45 minutes1.00
00:18:32.260once Linda Subodian put it out there. Get that down right away. You know, the bars don't want1.00
00:18:39.460to talk. I'm not surprised, but I am surprised that the police would dismiss this so out of hand.
00:18:47.220And what the larger agenda behind their instructions might be, I don't know.
00:18:53.420If you keep your kid out of school, they'll arrest you.
00:18:56.220If they think if the kid's got a welt or something, they'll ask questions
00:19:01.480and the protective custody people will be around to see you.
00:20:11.680If this had been a straight 14-year-old girl put on stage in a strip bar, the liquor board would have shut the place down, child services would have taken the child, the police would have charged the parents if the parents were involved, and any of the men, the grotesque monster sitting around the edge encouraging this and putting dollars could be at risk of being charged with sexual assault on a minor as well.
00:20:31.060It is absurd that this isn't being treated like that, and this isn't the first time.
00:29:18.580And you've got a real strong motivation to find every little bird shell, alleged arrowhead,
00:29:24.060And everything else, again, these delays and delays and delays and delays.
00:29:28.320It's just, again, a private company at least would have shouted for mercy, like, please, we've got to do something.
00:29:33.360By the way, I think in a little light on the $500, three or four years ago, I was working for an energy company, and they were paying $1,700.
00:29:40.020Yeah, I'm thinking, it's been a long time since I've been in the field.
00:30:31.640I don't think she was too heavily to blame for it.
00:30:33.820Justin Trudeau, however, was not doing much in the way of B.C.'s obstructionism, not upholding the rightful constitutional jurisdiction of the federal government for provincial jurisdiction,
00:30:45.020putting all sorts of smoke signals up like the No More Pipelines Act and things like this.
00:30:50.940So, yeah, of course, we don't give him much credit here, but neither does he claim much credit.
00:30:57.940He comes to Alberta once in a while, and you'll look around the room, and if he sees it's all, okay, it's mostly oil guys.
00:31:03.940Yeah, I remember I bought you that pipeline.
00:31:08.940He doesn't like to see it on national television because his base hates that he did it.
00:31:13.940Those not voting for him aren't going to vote for him anyway because he did it.
00:31:18.940So he was nowhere to be seen for the opening of the biggest piece of infrastructure since the Canadian Pacific Rail was completed 120-odd, roughly, years ago.
00:31:36.980A national moment at gargantuan cost of the taxpayer, and he's nowhere to be seen.
00:31:44.340Nigel, do you think that was a smart move to not be seen?
00:31:48.940Well, probably for him, yes. For all the reasons you've just articulated. Back in the eastern, look, the only part of the country where he's going to get any traction at all when the election comes, and probably not enough even there, but it would be in eastern Canada and central Canada.
00:32:04.920and back there they don't think like we do and they still think even as they're gassing up their
00:32:10.440cars they make no connection between their ability to fill up their car and drive to the grocery
00:32:16.360store and get their things in plastic bags to then come they make no connection between that
00:32:24.280and the oil rig in alberta which actually produces the oil so pipelines oh they're bad
00:32:32.920well you're just selling this for export you should leave the oil in the ground well
00:32:36.280you know it doesn't work like that madam but i guess that's what you think so mr trudeau aware
00:32:43.080that the green people are not going to forgive him on that doesn't want to remind them of it and make0.82
00:32:48.760it sound like he's proud of it because there isn't actually within the liberal cheering section
00:32:54.280anybody cheering for energy remember when he uh put down his five which turned into 35 billion
00:33:01.720dollars to buy this thing on taxpayers behalf. The Liberals have four seats in Alberta. This was
00:33:07.240after 2015 and a few naive little pockets to Calgary to Edmonton sent Liberal MLA's to Ottawa
00:33:16.280was the first time Liberal MPs to Ottawa. It's the first time Calgary had elected a Liberal
00:33:21.960federally since early Pierre Trudeau. Early, early Pierre Trudeau had been a long, long, long time.
00:33:29.960And perhaps he thought, you know, if he showers us in corporate welfare as heavily as he likes to shower Ontario and Quebec, well, maybe we'll reciprocate and elect even more Liberals.
00:33:42.960That obviously didn't happen. The Liberals have been cut back down to size. They're also now facing probably zero Liberal MPs in Alberta after the next election.
00:33:50.960But perhaps he had some political hope at the time. That's clearly completely evaporated, Corey.
00:33:57.960Do you think it would have been good politics for him to come to it?
00:34:02.960Or politically, do you think he made the right move by just made the right move?
00:34:06.960Just keep it quiet slide under the radar.
00:34:08.960It's an issue they want just to be forgotten, really, at this point.
00:34:11.960I mean, anybody crunching the numbers can see that if this thing ever generates a return, it's going to be we're going to be dead of old age by then.
00:34:20.960So politically, he's best just to carry on with his antics in Parliament and do what he can to try and turn about his sagging fortunes.
00:34:30.980Coming out here, as you said, to pay lip service in a province that isn't going to give him a seat anyways, there's just nothing for him in it.
00:34:38.160He was a principled man, might come out, you know, but he's not.
00:34:41.660Just to say that this is something that got done, but he doesn't care. It's about politics.
00:34:45.180Well, the interesting thing is it didn't even send a minister.
00:34:50.500I mean, you could send the, you know, you could send Wilkinson, who's an account.
00:34:55.300They say, well, you know, I'm too busy insulting the leader of the opposition,
00:34:59.460but I'm going to send a minister out to just sort of be there and smile.
00:35:03.380Didn't even want to do that. So clearly this is, for them, this is not an item they're proud of,
00:35:08.340not an item they're going to put on their resume when they present for the next election.
00:35:12.340All right. All right. Let's speaking of giant government spending boondoggles, let's talk about Alberta's next coming giant spending boondoggle.
00:35:29.300You know, every 15 years or so, Alberta politicians get it in their head, you know, be really nice, high speed rail from Calgary to Edmonton.
00:35:41.520And as someone who was in the Alberta legislature for four years and drove the QE2 one or more times a week, I can tell you, the thought at least popped into my head.
00:35:53.820Wouldn't it be nice if I could just take a, you know, look at this, look at the grass in between the two sides of this highway.
00:36:00.540Rail would look real nice right there.
00:36:02.140I could sit down and zip up to Edmonton, do some work or have a nap or whatever.
00:38:51.200They've sunk 36 billion American dollars, real dollars, not the Canadian peso.
00:38:54.940yeah into this thing and they haven't even got a mile of it built yet they got some of it started
00:39:01.500and they think they might have a stretch to bakersfield from los angeles which is not very
00:39:06.700far if people look on a map and bakersfield's a dump so it's not many people like airbase or
00:39:10.700something it's an oil town and it's it's gross either way they figure it may come in when it's
00:39:16.540finished at 136 billion dollars by 2070 or something is where the timeline has gone to
00:39:22.940That's how insane this is. And this is an area, again, which has big cities and population density where they have the population of Canada might possibly be viable.
00:39:31.760And that's the disaster they've got going. And we have a premier in Alberta saying, you know, we might want to go down that road.
00:39:37.720No, just no. You've got way more things to do. Premier Smith, please get on those.
00:39:43.260I think there's somebody who's got Premier Smith's here who in his basement has got a massive model railway outlet and they they have their own little schedule and they just see these things.
00:39:52.940between Calgary and Edmonton and it's fun it's it's it's kind of getting ideas for the boardroom
00:40:00.260now no no don't even go there and by the way you can mock restaurants in rail cars if you like but
00:40:09.480that's a good place to get us oh I had a fantastic breakfast there I'm just saying it's a good
00:40:14.000restaurant that somebody might have a bit more of a thing for trains than the average individual
00:40:17.740well I and I and I think that's where look if you really want to know whether there's any market for
00:40:21.980this. Have a look at the Red Arrow. Now, I'm surprised when you were going backwards and
00:40:25.540forwards, did you ever consider taking the... When I was at the Canadian Taxpayers Federation,
00:40:28.960I did all the time. I did sometimes in politics. The Red Arrow, it's pretty damn good. And it's
00:40:34.380got Wi-Fi, you can work on it. For those who don't know, that's a bus service. Yeah, it's an
00:40:40.280express bus, just for those who don't know. But it's like high-speed rail, but I don't know,
00:40:46.400one billionth the cost and it's run by the private sector and they make money at it but you know
00:40:53.300if if there was a larger market you would see more of them wouldn't you probably would you don't
00:41:00.060actually see so many that you think well why are we even on the road this should be on the rail
00:41:05.580so i'm i'm a big booster i never take it i have no reason to but i mean i'm big booster of red
00:41:11.280Arrow just as a concept, they make money taking people between Calgary and Edmonton as many as
00:41:16.740want to go. I went for the Red Arrow's watch and I want you as an advertiser. I love Red Arrow.
00:41:21.380Everything's an opportunity. Yeah, I'm always thinking of Red Arrow. Actually, I was in, I think,
00:41:26.020the biggest pileup in Alberta history. I was on my way to Edmonton to cover a budget with the
00:41:30.460Canadian Taxpayers Federation. It was just massive, multi-hundred car pileup and I was in the Red
00:43:02.820It's a good subject to come up just after the Trans Mountain Pipeline.
00:43:06.320This shows what happens when a government takes hold of a large capital project.
00:43:10.960Likewise, when we're talking the rail link Calgary to Banff.
00:43:14.380Well, either they're going to have to lease the track space from CP, which means a stunted start and stop train going all the time because you're dealing with the freight that's going on there.
00:43:24.640And if people know geography, that goes right through the Stoney Reserve.
00:43:27.800So you can start negotiations now, and maybe my grandchildren will see the deal they cut to double that track, but we've got to get realistic.
00:44:35.160You know, that was how I felt about the arena.
00:44:37.560You know, the arena will provide some public good.
00:44:39.920We're going to like to have the arena, but it's still a private business venture.
00:44:44.020We shouldn't be in the business of building it.
00:44:45.480But, you know, if we wanted to procure some dilapidated part of downtown and, you know, make some room for it, I can see the city and the province having a role there, not beyond that.
