David Menzies joins Sheila Gunn Reid and Ezra Levant to critique Canada’s migrant screening shift—dropping questions on religion and gender equality while adding trivial ones like video games—calling it a racist backtrack by the Liberal government. He warns deportation warrant cancellations strain national security, linking Alberta’s separatist surge to pipeline paralysis, job losses (100K+ since 2015), and rising bankruptcies, comparing it to Detroit’s decline. A referendum could succeed if framed around economic grievances and anti-Alberta bias, with Levant noting Liberal dominance hinges on Alberta’s Conservative votes. Menzies highlights Trudeau’s blackface controversy, contrasting it with rebel reporters’ physical attacks by Liberal supporters, exposing double standards in media tolerance. These tensions signal deeper fractures in Canada’s political unity, with separatist movements like the Bloc Québécois and Black Livois party opposing oil and Liberal policies, threatening national cohesion.

Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite Rebels.
I'm your host, David Benzies.
Hey, folks, if you are concerned about all those irregular migrants illegally waltzing into Canada, have no fear.
The authorities are making certain to ask these folks tough screening questions to make sure we aren't harboring any bad guys here.
For example, one question is, do you play video games?
No, seriously.
Sheila Gunread shall explain all.
And the federal election is over and perhaps the biggest constituency that is not happy with the results are those living in the province of Alberta.
More governance from the Trudeau Liberals means yet more years of pipeline paralysis.
And the hit on the economy is creating a very real separatist movement in Wild Rose Country.
Rebel Commander Ezra Levant will drop by to offer his thoughts.
And finally, letters, we get your letters, we get your letters every minute of every day.
And I'll share some of your responses regarding the amount of physicality that rebel reporters had to put up with by those on the oh so tolerant left.
Yeah, when it comes to tolerance, liberals like to talk a mean game.
In practice, not so much.
Those are your rebels.
let's round them up.
Now two years ago it was discovered that RCMP officers were screening Quebec border crossers on religion and religious values using a questionnaire.
And this became, I don't know, I guess very controversial in left-wing open borders type circles.
Some questions asked directly about the migrants' religion and how often they practice said religion, whatever that might be.
Specifically, question number 31 on the 41 question form asked, Canada is a very liberal country that believes in freedom of religious practice and equality between women and men.
What is your opinion on this subject?
And how would you feel if your boss was a woman?
Now, as you know, I'm no feminist, but that seems, I don't know, sort of like a pretty reasonable question to be asking anybody who desires to live in our country.
Apparently, the feminists in the liberal government, though, are just perfectly fine with importing a migrant population that thinks women are a subspecies to the men folk around here because Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale has pledged that any data that had been collected using that questionnaire would be expunged and purged and destroyed, even if it did indeed identify terrorist sympathies in some migrants.
Ah, welcome to Canada, folks, where not only can you illegally waltz across the border without enduring any aggro whatsoever from law enforcement, but once you are upon Canadian soil, you will not be asked any impolite questions lest those questions end up offending you.
Because there is no greater crime in this day and age than hurting somebody's feelings, even if that somebody happens to subscribe to, oh, I don't know, jihad as opposed to Western values.
Incredible.
And joining me now with more on a story that seemingly defies all logic if one cares about the security of a country is the host of the gun show, Sheila Gunread.
Welcome to Rebel Roundup, my friend.
Hey, David, it's so great to be on this side of the camera.
I've been filling in you for a while.
Well, thank you for keeping the seat warm while I was gone on the election trail, Sheila.
You did a great job.
But Sheila, let me get this straight.
One of the allegedly new and improved questions directed at those crossing the border is, do you play video games?
What in blue blazes is the relevance of such a question?
I don't know.
I don't know if they're looking to see if the illegal migrants are playing violent video games as opposed to, I guess, Candy Crush or Bubble Witch or whatever people play on their phones these days.
But I thought it was sort of a bizarre question considering the public safety ramifications or lack thereof.
We asked for the questionnaire that had been canceled by the public safety minister because that original questionnaire had asked about Canadian values, the religion of the migrants, and I suppose maybe more importantly, the frequency and fervor with which the migrants practice their said religion.
So the original questionnaire also had a question that asked how the migrants would feel if they had a female boss and if they believed in freedom of religion.
Now those are pretty important things to me as a woman and probably important to you as a man who is pretty into women.
You know, I think you pretty, you like your wife and you want to make sure that she's treated okay.
And that questionnaire was not only scrapped, but all the data was expunged.
So even if it identified people with extremist tendencies crossing the border, that data will never be used.
We won't know what the answers to those questions were.
We asked for that questionnaire and we never got it.
Instead, we got this new questionnaire, which we assume is the one that they're currently using at the border.
And the reason we assume that is because they actually blacked out some of the behavioral tells and cues that the border officers, the CBSA and the RCMP are watching for at the border.
And gone are all the questions about whether or not you believe in not just Canadian values, but Western civilization values of equality between the sexes and freedom of religion and expression.
And in their place are questions about whether or not you support ISIS or the Taliban, which I can't imagine a lone wolf ever answering that question honestly.
But also questions about what, do you play video games and what video games do you play?
It almost felt like they were just putting questions in to replace the ones they took out.
But, you know, Sheila, it's such a flawed premise because, you know, on so many fronts here, there are so, I mean, the video game industry, it's bigger than Hollywood right now in terms of revenues that movies generate.
There are all kinds of violent video games out there.
That's without a question.
But similarly, there are people that play these violent video games.
These are residents that would never think of carrying out a real act of violence.
I mean, it's a fantasy realm.
So the whole process, I would assume, is flawed.
But, you know, you said something else there about trying to find out if some of these migrants come from a culture where sexism is the norm, where it's okay to, you know, feel superior to women.
And so maybe that's the catch in terms of the video game question, Sheila.
If one were to answer, I prefer playing Pac-Man to Mrs. Pac-Man, maybe it's a trick question to find out if that guy's a sexist.
David, Pac-Man is a 40-year-old video game.
Refugee Rights Controversy00:14:23
You know, it's so strange, though, because in light of all this information that we got just in like the day before the election, we also heard news that the liberal government is canceling the warrants of people who are under deportation order if they can evade the police for long enough.
So basically, whenever anybody walks into our country, they're entitled to an immigration refugee board hearing.
And at that point, they'll be determined to be deported.
So we're not doing like deportations right at the border.
So you come into the country illegally, you say you're a refugee, you're claiming status in our country.
We invite you back.
It's catch and release.
We say, okay, off you go, but be sure to show up at such and such a time, 90 days, six months, a year from now, and we'll decide if you get to stay in the country.
If those people don't return for their refugee board hearing and they evade the police for long enough, right now the government is canceling their warrants, which is rewarding people for absconding from the law in the first place.
They broke the law to come into our country, so total disregard for the law.
And then they break the law by not returning for their refugee hearing, and then they evade the law and we say, fine, it's fine.
You know, Sheila, this has me seething.
This is a complete dereliction of duty.
I mean, that is outrageous.
You're saying right now that your evidence indicates that if you are scheduled as a refugee claimant to show up at your refugee board hearing and you do not, and then you go underground and avoid the police rounding you up for a certain period of time, the state surrenders.
We throw in the towel, we cancel the warrant.
This is outrageous.
I mean, I think of myself as a law-abiding citizen, yourself, our audience.
If we refuse, say, to pay our taxes, does the Canadian Revenue Agency say, well, Both, we tried to issue a notice, but he ain't paying, so we'll just throw away that.
No, they would come after us, hammer and tong.
Why would they even consider this to be a good strategy in terms of national security in the first place, Sheila?
I don't know if it's just the sheer capacity and volume of migrants that are now absconding from their refugee hearings and the Canadian government just doesn't have the resources to deal with it all.
But I have a really quick fix to that, and that is to secure the border.
And this really should have been a big issue in the final days of the election, and it just went over with a little blip.
The Conservatives came out and said, no, no, no, we'll continue to try our best to enforce those warrants.
And that was it.
And I think to some extent, the rise of the Bloc Québécois, again, in Quebec, has to do a lot with the unsecured border at Wroxham Road.
Yeah, I think you're right.
And I know, you know, I think Maxime Bernier was the most vociferous candidate in addressing this issue to the point where they were going to fix this safe third country loophole.
And not only that, put up a fence at the so-called irregular border crossings.
I mean, I think it's outrageous, Sheila, that if we know of the entry points where people are just coming in, that we're not defending the border.
And I would say this, that if a country doesn't defend its borders, well, it's not much of a country to begin with.
That should be the fundamental identifier of a sovereign nation.
Yeah, there are duties and responsibilities that come with citizenship in the same way that there are privileges.
And when we diminish the value of our citizenship by affording it to any lawbreaker who strolls into our country, are we really a country at all?
And I suppose that might not be my problem in a little bit because I'll be joining the Alberta Border Patrol.
And Sheila, you know, I want to go back to the original premise that those questions that the Harper regime came up with were racist.
Why is it that asking questions about certain religious beliefs, certain cultural beliefs, is deemed to be racial in the first place?
It has nothing to do with race.
It's what you believe in in terms of an ideology.
So why is this government lying that these questions were racist in the first place?
Well, let's put it another way.
I'm a Catholic.
I'm a practicing Catholic.
I think I probably practice my religion, at least in some form, every single day.
Try to go to Mass once a week, although I'm not the best at that.
But if I were trying to, let's say, emigrate to England in the times of the Troubles, and they asked me, how often do you practice your religion?
And do you believe that the crown is illegitimate?
And would you use violence to achieve independence for Northern Ireland?
I would understand why they were at least asking me those questions, given what was going on in the culture and in the country at the time.
So it's not racism.
It's taking a group of people and then IDing the extremists within them.
You're weeding out the extremists with those questions.
You're not calling everybody an extremist.
You're doing your best to ID the extremists within the one group.
And now we can't even do that.
And if we did ID any extremists, that information is gone.
Indeed, I agree with you, Sheila.
In fact, you're doing a disservice to legitimate refugees truly feeling persecution as opposed to being an economic refugee.
Final question.
We know what the results were of Monday night, unfortunately.
And I know you've been on this file for the last few years and you've done great commentaries, great investigative work in showing what's going on in terms of the so-called irregular immigration to Canada.
But given the result of Monday night, Sheila, nothing's going to change, is it?
Nothing's going to change.
Nothing's going to change.
And I think that's why you're seeing this fire, this burning fire of Western separatism.
Because I think these are issues that parts of the country care deeply about.
I mentioned the bloc already, and I mentioned the West.
These are issues that matter and resonate with conservative voters because we feel like we are paying for these for open borders and nobody's listening.
And it's pretty clear nothing's going to change.
The first wave of Justin Trudeau's Syrian refugees, they were able to vote in this election.
And you can see the voter turnout and how things went in Toronto and where those refugees settled.
It's just not going to change.
It's going to get worse.
It's pulling this country apart.
And I don't think the Liberals care all that much.
Indeed, we'll leave it at that, Sheila.
Not care all that much, but perhaps, given the results of Monday evening, feel emboldened and even more arrogant that they're doing the right thing by doing the wrong thing.
Sheila, once again, another superb commentary.
I urge all our viewers to go and watch it in its entirety.
And thank you for joining me here today.
Thanks, David.
You got it.
And that was Sheila Gun Reid in Alberta, which is still, for now, a part of Canada.
Keep it here.
More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
The Black Livois grew in Quebec, including at the expense of the NDP.
The Greens went from two seats to three.
But what all these losers have in common is that they hate Alberta and hate Alberta oil and hate Alberta oil pipelines along with Trudeau.
That's what they all have in common.
Here's Trudeau as a young man.
Quebecers are better than the rest of Canada because, you know, we're Quebecers.
He was in his late 20s then.
That's when he was a teacher at West Point Grey Academy.
Here he is about 10 years later, all grown up, almost 40, phrasing his bigotry even more aggressively.
Look, Canada is hard now because it's Albertans who control our community and socio-democratic agenda.
It doesn't work.
Is Canada better served when there are more Quebecers in power than when there are more Albertans in power?
I liberalize their sisters that certainly regard the great prime ministers of MSI, the Souls that we have coupons, this Quebec, this Trudeau, this Monroney, this Christian, this Paul Martin.
So we have a role, we have this country, Canada, it's for us.
Don't tell me that they'd really walk away from that.
It's just a bargaining stance to get whatever else they want.
Alberta's separatism, I see it rising in a way I haven't before.
And it's not fake, and it's not noisy, and it's not showy.
It's quiet and resolved.
I don't know what's going to happen, but I know that across Canada, people are thinking the system's broken.
Well, once upon a time, when it came to the idea of a province separating from Canada, it was always about Quebec independence.
But after two failed referendums, the idea of Quebec existing as its own republic is now deader than disco.
And that's assuming Quebec really wanted to separate in the first place, as opposed to using the idea of separation as a bargaining chip.
Yet, meanwhile, in Alberta, rather, a separatist vibe is indeed gaining momentum.
And there's nothing fake about this movement.
And joining me now to discuss this issue is our very own rebel commander, Ezra Levant.
So, Ezra, first question, if you care to speculate, if there was a referendum in Alberta today about exiting from Canada, how do you think that would go?
Well, I think it would depend on the wording.
I don't think Albertans would be ready to push the separate button just yet because I think a lot of questions haven't been figured out.
I think there has to be a conversation where questions are answered.
Do we get our pension?
What happens with our passport?
What currency will we use?
Will we be part of NAFTA?
Will we get a pipeline?
There's a lot of questions, but every one of those questions probably has an answer, and every one of the answers is probably as good or better than the current answers, which are: you'll be the whipping boy for the Liberals, the Green Party, the NDP, and the bloc.
You won't get any pipelines, but we sure will take your equalization payments.
net $14 billion a year will leave Alberta to Ottawa, and you'll be called bigots, xenophobes, homophobes, Islamophobes.
So I think once that conversation is had, I think the answer certainly could be yes.
There was a separatist movement in Alberta about 40 years ago.
Preston Manning came along and said the West wants in.
Hey guys, don't separate.
We got a better way.
Let's fix Canada.
And for a dozen years, Albertans and other Westerners said, okay, Preston, you seem like a good guy.
We trust you.
Let's do it.
And what happened instead is that split the vote.
It gave the Liberals three majority governments back to back.
And things got worse.
Here you have the Conservative Party with a Western leader.
And he can't beat Trudeau with the perfect storm, SNC Lavalan, Blackface.
He just couldn't do it.
And the result is more economic punishment coming to Alberta.
I think that the goodwill was tried already under Preston Manning, the Reform Party.
I don't think there's that, okay, we'll just fix it.
You know, Aushuck's utopianism that Preston Manning, like Preston Manning, in his own way, was an idealistic dreamer who failed.
And I say this as, I mean, I was his legislative assistant for two years.
Listen, the guy had high hopes.
It just wasn't real life.
So I think that good faith is gone.
And it's more a resignation or just, okay, let's just get on with it.
It's not a hot, passionate anger.
It's just, okay, let's get out now.
You know, Ezra, do you think that it's somewhat perversely ironic that the biggest force to keep Alberta in confederation would indeed be the Federal Conservative Party?
And I say that because without those 34 seats, none of which went liberal on Monday, perhaps the idea of the Conservative Party ever getting a majority government again is a distant dream.
So even though it might be beneficial for Albertans to chart their own destiny and be free of the Ottawa politics when it comes to the fossil fuel industry, conservatives, which won 33 of those 34 seats, would be the ones clamoring to keep the province in.
Yeah, well, I mean, and you did this in your street here, your Voxpop asking on Torontonians, if there's 338 seats and Trudeau won, I think, 156 of them, that's a minority.
But if you took Alberta out, there would be 304 seats, and Trudeau would still have 156.
He would have a majority.
Conservatives Clamor To Stay00:04:42
And that was with him doing not so great.
So you would have perpetual liberal governments.
How's the Liberal Party not going to like that?
You could meet your carbon emission targets immediately, because Alberta has a third of all the national emissions immediately.
100%.
You'd meet your target.
Ideological opposition.
I mean, Alberta for a long time has been the source of conservative ideas.
Ralph Klein was the template for Mike Harris in terms of reigning in the size of government.
Opposition to gun control, opposition to bilingualism, opposition to out-of-control multiculturalism or immigration.
A lot of these ideas come from Alberta.
So why wouldn't the establishment, the Laurentian elite, want to be rid of Alberta?
I mean, the obvious reason is they like the $15 billion, $14 billion, $15 billion a year they get.
But that's just money to Justin Trudeau.
I mean, they'll spend that on a drunk weekend in 4-8.
So If you're a Laurentian elite, you're happy to say goodbye to the redneck province.
Now, it might put some other things in motion.
How long would Saskatchewan stick around?
Would parts of BC want to leave?
Would Quebec say, well, we're out of here?
I don't know what would happen.
But it's very understandable that Alberta is sort of done with things.
You know, we've talked about this before.
When Stephen Harper was the prime minister, he never had many seats in Quebec, but his entire term, he went out of his way to be pro-Quebec.
He always answered a question first in French before English.
Always.
He practices French all the time.
He gave Quebec too much money.
He fixed the fiscal imbalance or whatever they called it.
He really quieted Quebec independence by giving them whatever they wanted and not picking fights with them.
They never returned the love, but he basically gave them what he needed to.
And the proof of that is that the Parti Québécois and the Block Québécois basically vanished because they weren't angry with Ottawa anymore.
Harper never demonized them, never campaigned against them in other regions.
That's completely the opposite of what Trudeau and the other leaders I just named did to Alberta.
In every case, Alberta was the punchline to their jokes, the punching bag of their shots.
And you know, Ezra, when I speak to friends and families and colleagues as this is getting some traction about an Alberta separatist movement, and I have to say, many of these people have never even been to Alberta.
They just say, oh, this is posturing.
Albertans are Canadians.
They would never think this way.
And I say, oh, you want to bet?
I've been to Alberta in the last couple of weeks, and I've talked to people who have lost homes, have lost their vehicles, depending on food banks to feed their families.
And this is because of a political process that's preventing them from getting their product to market.
We just saw hundreds of layoffs at Husky Oil in the day after the election.
This sentiment is not posturing, I don't think, Ezra.
It's very real.
Yeah.
I mean, I live in Toronto now, but I visit Alberta at least monthly.
And when I left Alberta to come to Toronto for the Sun News Network, Alberta and Calgary in particular was famous for the strongest workforce, the lowest unemployment.
I mean, the unemployment rate would be around 4%, 3%, whatever.
Like it was, there was no one working, sorry, no one not working unless they were choosing not to work.
That has completely changed.
You see homeless people throughout Alberta, and it's not by choice, and it's not just the mentally ill who were not institutionalized or the forgotten.
It's people who used to have a six-figure job.
You see, like you talked about the food banks, you see bankruptcies.
To this day, the office space is 30, 40% vacancy.
Unbelievable.
And it's hard to believe because Alberta was all, it's just a forever engine, the goose that lays a golden egg.
Well, so was Detroit, Michigan.
100 years ago, 80 years ago, Detroit was the leading industrial center in America, motor city.
It had the highest industrial wage in America.
That's why so many people flocked there, including African Americans.
That was because it was in the north.
Get out of the Jim Crow areas, get a great job.
Like, it was a great, it was the best city if you're a working man.
Well, you add 50 layers of democratic rule to that.
Detroit's population has actually declined.
Alberta's Future in Question00:04:57
Correct.
Those gorgeous buildings that they built in the boom years, 30s, 40s, 50s, are now vacant.
It is possible to kill a goose that lays a golden egg.
They did it to Detroit.
They did it to Venezuela.
They did it to Argentina.
They're doing it in San Francisco and LA, and they will do it to Alberta.
I agree.
And I'm glad you brought up the auto industry, Ezra, because for those people living in central Canada, what I say to them, imagine a liberal federal government that had a policy mandate that would stymie the Ontario auto industry.
Imagine a federal liberal government that had a policy mandate that would stymie the supply-managed dairy industry in Quebec.
I mean, there would be an absolute uproar.
Well, and the funny thing is, both of those are not absurd because both of those are high-emissions industries.
The dairy industry is one of the highest emissions if you care about global warming.
And I think the whole thing is exaggerated, if not outright fake, because dairy cows, through their burping and farting, they emit as much CO2 as a car.
Yes.
CO2 equivalent.
They emit methane.
And the auto industry obviously not only makes cars, but it's very heavy and energy and intensive in itself.
So the exact same rationale that's being put on the oil patch could be put against the auto industry or the Quebec dairy industry, but of course it's not because it's a selective, punitive approach.
It's based on an anti-Alberta bigotry.
And Albertans know that and see that.
And Albertans, believe it or not, are actually fine shipping billions of dollars to the rest of the country.
I've really not even heard a lot of Albertans ever quarrel with that.
What they want in return is, can you stop picking on us and can you stop blocking us from earning the money that we're sending you?
You're absolutely right.
It's not even a matter of asking for a subsidy.
It's just a matter of saying, can you get out of our way and let us bring our product to market?
Exit question when it comes to Wexit, Ezra.
I'm going to ask you to gaze into your crystal ball.
Do you actually see a day in which there would indeed be a referendum, whether it's for separation or sovereignty association, in terms of Albertans going to a ballot box and determining their future this way?
Well, not under Jason Kenney, because he, in my view, harbors ambitions to become the prime minister.
And if he were to facilitate in any way or even give rhetorical support towards an independence or separatist mission, that would disqualify him in the eyes of many Eastern voters, and it would certainly be a chief angle of attack for his liberal opponents.
So I think you will see him as being against that.
Not just that, but just as the math works that you take Alberta out of the game, the Liberals will win every time.
You take Alberta out of the game, the Conservatives will lose every time.
And so the people who most want Alberta in the country, other than those who cash the checks from its equalization, are conservative politicians.
You ask, I mean, it's sort of ridiculous, the questions that you ask in your streeters about this meets Alberta's, you take Alberta out of Confederation, you immediately meet your goals.
And I saw your, San Simple said, yeah, what's so stupid about that is that the oil will still be produced as if there's like a border or something.
But it's no stupider than cutting back Canadian emissions while China builds hundreds of coal-fired power plants.
It's just, it's just the same level of stupid.
But I think that I think that all these Alberta haters, well, maybe their dream, let us give them their dream come true.
And they'll need a new scapegoat when Alberta's gone.
And they'll be a lot poorer while they do it.
But maybe everyone's happier that way.
I mean, a separation need not be, as the Quebec separatists used to say, a never-ending trip to the dentist.
They wanted it to be painful because they didn't actually want to separate.
They wanted just to wring out concessions.
But look at the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Yes.
They just unhooked.
Brexit.
The population voted for it.
Now the politicians are delaying it because they don't like the result.
You would see that in Canada too.
You would see the entire media party, which is based in Toronto.
All the Alberto media is owned in Toronto.
You would see all the NGOs, all the banks, all the establishment against it.
You would see hundreds of millions of dollars spent to stop it from leaving.
But if it left nonetheless, it would be quick and painless.
Not painless, but you keep $14 billion a year in your province.
Any pain will quickly be absolved.
Indeed.
Well, Ezra, thank you so much for weighing in.
Media Party Opposition00:03:55
And there you have it, folks.
I guess only time will tell if Alberta will remain a full-fledged member of Confederation, or to paraphrase the words of General de Gaulle, Viva Alberta Libra.
Keep it here, folks.
More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
Oh, hey folks, you're on the team scroll, right?
Is it true what she said that black people appreciated Justin Trudeau donning blackface?
Yeah.
Really?
You appreciated that, man.
I appreciate Trudeau.
I've always been told that's a racist thing to do for a white person to don blackface.
Hi, sir.
What's that?
Why is that, sir?
Really disgusting.
As disgusting as the prime minister wearing blackface, sir?
Excuse me.
Huh?
I tapped it on the shoulder because you ran into me, sir.
It was an accident.
Oh, it was an accident?
We'll just get you in the front here.
Sorry.
Who is this guy?
It's okay.
I've told you to wait over there.
If you can just please look at it.
He ran into me.
Did you see him?
Well, that was footage from last Friday of a Justin Trudeau rally in Vaughan, Ontario.
Once again, we were barred entry to the hall.
That's okay.
If the Liberal Party of Canada wants to be petty and vindictive, it has every right to do so.
And we received verbal abuse from some of the attendees.
And hey, that's okay, too, because, you know, sticks and stones and all that jazz, right?
But yet again, yours truly was subjected to physical abuse by some goon who claimed it was all an accident.
And no, that's not okay.
Indeed, where are these sunny ways?
Justin Trudeau promised some four years ago, because folks, the sky still looks pretty overcast to me.
In any event, here's what some of you had to say about the bully boy tactics certain liberals like to employ when they don't care for the questions being asked.
The old one writes, David, the manhandled menzoid, highlighting this corrupt election campaign.
Well, you know, old one, the physicality that I put up with, as well as my colleague Kian Bexti, was indeed beyond the pale.
But we kept a stiff upper lip, as the Brits like to say, and we soldiered on.
Yet, imagine if a CBC reporter had been treated in such a fashion.
Imagine the uproar from the media party.
But when this kind of crap happens to a rebel reporter, well, move along, folks, nothing to see here.
The hypocrisy and the double standards are off the charts.
Death Larson writes, some old geezer or anyone bumps into me like that, my fist knocking him out is also an accident.
Well, Death Larson, I would be lying if I told you that I never considered reacting in a similar fashion as those who got physical with me over the course of the election campaign.
But the Democratic process should not resort into acts of violence.
That's not civilized.
That's barbaric.
And besides, I just kind of get this feeling that if I were to respond in kind, I'd be the one sitting in the back seat of a police cruiser.
Christian Bolt writes, the ever-peaceful, tolerant left.
Indeed, Christian, it's funny how these same people like to proclaim that love trumps hate, and then you say something those on the left don't like, and the next thing you know, a bicycle lock or something is being smashed over your head.
Yeah, the left talks a mean game when it comes to tolerance, but in practice, not so much.
Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup.
