Kat and Nat mock Microsoft’s PC-driven language edits, then dissect COVID-19’s toll on marriages, vaccine mandates, and Quebec’s $100 "vax tax" while questioning Ford and Moe’s late opposition. They critique Trudeau’s alleged child vaccine coercion, fake loonies, and media fear-mongering over Omicron’s flu-like severity, with 55% of Canadians expecting infection despite precautions. Dr. Lenora Sachs Singer warns against boosters post-vaccination, advocating vitamins like Quercetin instead, as unvaccinated groups face restaurant bans and trucker protests resurface—highlighting pandemic policy inconsistencies and public distrust.

Great to not see you again, but you know you're there.
Let's just dive right in.
Let's do it.
So much happening every day, including today.
I feel like I'm always behind on the news.
Yep.
And all I do is read the news, and yet I still feel I'm like, when did that happen?
I love five minutes.
I know.
And then it's like, oh my gosh, am I uncool?
Because I don't know what's going on.
Yes.
It's true.
I am uncool.
All righty.
Let's dive in.
So our first little story is about Microsoft, Mr. Bill Gates.
But I doubt it's actually a him thing.
Oh, no.
But Microsoft is going even more woke, friends.
Yeah.
I mean, remember a while back when they had those like intro videos where they were like saying their pronouns, their race.
Should we introduce ourselves like that?
Yeah.
My name is Nat.
I am white.
I am 5'4.
I weigh one pound.
How do you identify?
Oh, I identify as a bird.
I am Kat.
I am 5' something.
I identify as a gerbil.
Ooh.
Sexy.
All right.
So seriously, though, Microsoft has introduced a new, it's like an autocorrect spelling check.
So Microsoft goes woke.
Microsoft introduces this new feature that suggests PC alternatives when someone types phrases that could offend snowflakes like mankind.
So PC being politically correct.
I don't really understand why when you're typing something for yourself or for your job that you would need that.
Yeah, like you're just making notes for yourself.
Maybe if you work for like the New York Times, you should have that feature and it could be a human doing it.
But in this situation, you're just making notes for yourself.
But could you bring that up one more time, Andrew?
Because there's like a very specific line in there that makes me laugh because it's like if you were writing the Neil Armstrong's quote, like one step for mankind, they're like, oh, do you mean humankind?
It's like, no, that's not what he said.
No, like that's not the quote.
The quote verbatim, like verbatim.
Yeah, but that quote's offensive and they should never have gone to the moon.
If they even did.
Ooh.
But okay, let's talk about this for like five seconds.
Who's actually offended by this?
Like four people in the world.
Like four people are offended by the use of mankind instead of humankind or womankind.
Like I don't know anyone personally who's outraged by this.
No, because like whoa man.
Woah man.
Woah man.
Like we're still part of the man category.
We're you man.
We're woe men.
Yes.
So it's not offensive to me.
Right.
And also like going back to what we were kind of chatting about earlier, like you're very intentional when you type.
Like you are typing.
Not me.
I just type gibberish.
But one should be.
No.
Usually most of us on average are intentional about what we're typing.
So it's like, if I say mankind, that's what I wanted to write.
So you're censoring me, Microsoft.
Yeah.
And what if you used like typing as a journalistic therapeutic thing where you're like, I'm just going to write my thoughts.
I'm not going to self-censor.
I'm just going to let you work out.
Pandemic's Impact on Marriages00:03:13
And they're like, did you really mean that about your mom?
And it's like, oh, gosh.
Yes, I did.
Okay, so new AI tools help writers be more clear, concise, and inclusive in office and across the web.
Thanks, AI.
Yeah, seriously.
AI is just trying to eradicate gender.
Really good.
What's new?
Okay.
Oh, this is a fun one.
Pandemic is causing angry, bitter divorces.
Well, that's actually very.
Assuming we have some stats on that.
Yeah.
Like it's happening.
Oh, here we go.
The pandemic says, oh, the pandemic is causing any better divorces.
Lawyers, divorces.
Sorry, I was talking like a New Yorker earlier.
Lawyers say, so COVID-19 related stressors have led to an increase in marital tensions.
And as the pandemic enters its third year, lawyers say these divorces are becoming more acrimonious and more drawn as a result.
My question is, is it like the time spent together in lockdown or is it like vaccine, politics?
Because for me, that has been something I've noticed more is just like the division of the household.
Yeah.
And like my family won't let you over because you're not vaccinated.
Especially if it comes to vaccinating your children.
I feel like that would be a huge debate.
But I personally think that a lot of this tension is stemming from financial issues.
That's true.
Because maybe someone's unemployed in the household and that causes financial strain, especially if, let's say, your husband's unemployed and you're a woman, like men want to be a breadwinner, like inherently, right?
So I'm sure there's an ego thing there.
Like it makes sense, but it's just being sad.
CERB doesn't make you feel good.
No.
And I know because I, at my last job, I was laid off during the very beginning of the pandemic.
And that was the first time I ever was on like government assistance.
And I was grateful for it, but it didn't make me feel good.
Yeah, because there's purpose in going to work and making an income for yourself, right?
We're born to work, unfortunately.
Or we're born to marry rich.
Yeah.
No, absolutely.
But I think it's really sad.
And it just kind of speaks to the fact that this whole pandemic has really clearly been an attack on the family in general, right?
Like we see how it's targeting children, now targeting marriages, targeting our finances.
And our freedoms, of course, to say the least.
Yeah.
And some people had like healthy marriages, but almost like separate lives where she did her thing, he did her thing, or they did their things, and you had your own job and you had your own hobbies and your book club.
And now it's like, no, none of that.
You're just at home together eating Uber Eats every night.
And you're like, where did I marry?
Well, exactly.
And the romance is completely gone because you can't go out on dates anymore.
Like it's a lot of fun.
It's a smartpant city.
Exactly.
And if you're both working from home, like you said, you're trapped at home for 24 hours a day.
Oh, it's horrible.
Like you really, you need space from your spouse.
Space from your spouse.
Separate bedrooms.
Yeah, bully.
One day I'll know something about marriage, hopefully.
Yeah, well, I mean, like talking as if I understand it in any way.
Well, anyone who's been in a relationship knows, though, that there's many ways to have tension in a relationship.
Working From Home Blues00:08:34
Oh, I'm aware of that.
I'm the noversion causer.
Okay.
I keep hearing about this Twitter exodus, but I keep hearing about it on Twitter.
Yeah.
It's like everyone's going to get her.
And I'm like, yeah, but y'all are talking about that on Twitter.
And then they continue to post on Twitter.
Like everything.
Like, hey, guys, I just got banned on Twitter.
Well, I guess you can't say that on Twitter, but it's like, I'm back.
Which is what exactly happened to Julie Panessi.
Yes, Dr. Julie Panessi, do we know what she said?
I don't know what she said, but she, so she was banned, but then she was reinstated out of Twitter jail, to quote her directly.
There she goes.
Okay, so after a careful review, we determined your account broke the Twitter rules.
Gosh, I bet the Twitter rules are a long list.
Your account is temporarily in read-only mode, which means you can't tweet, retweet, or like content.
Most accounts regain full access in a week, but it could take longer.
Wow, very vague.
Super vague.
So it could be like forever.
Like you could be.
I think I've heard that like they'll send that little link, like you broke the rules, but they won't tell you which one you did.
I think that's what Dr. Malone said.
Oh my gosh, because they don't want you to fix.
Yeah.
It's like, oh, okay, I broke the law.
Like, my goodness, please tell me which law I've broken.
And they're like, yeah, it's like punishing you.
It's just to learn.
You know, it's like you did something bad, but I'm not going to tell you what you did so you can be better.
Yeah.
Grow and learn.
There's Dr. Julia.
She's amazing.
Yeah, she is.
You should follow her on Twitter, y'all.
And I guess get her now, too.
Yeah.
Because she's made the switch.
Have you made the Switch?
Yeah, I have like two followers, and then I deleted the app because I was like, no one cares what I have to say.
Yeah.
No, that's not true.
Let's not even say that.
I think Twitter is more spicy anyway.
Yeah.
And I like, I mean, I like that.
I don't want to live in an echo chamber.
I was just going to say that.
So I want to go and want to see what the lefties are saying every day because it's like sometimes my mind can't be changed.
I'm not, I don't live in marble.
We're beholden to none, really.
Exactly.
No, absolutely.
And I want to hear who's interested in dating AOC.
Apparently it's COVID right now.
Yeah.
So get better soon.
Yeah.
No, for sure.
Oh, this is a fun one.
Fake toonies.
Fake toonies.
You can buy fake Tim Beebs with your fake toonies.
Tim Beebs.
Apparently they all taste the same.
Yeah.
That's chocolate.
Fake toonies discovered in Hawkesbury, Ontario.
So it's debatable whether coins are considered counterfeits as a mint spokesman spokesperson.
Okay, so I don't know.
Ontario Provincial Police are warning people to check their pocket change for fake toonies.
Who carries cash anymore?
I was just going to say, I'm like, my pockets.
It has my phone in it.
Yeah.
Like my pocket has lipstick in it.
Like change is full of bacteria.
Yeah.
It's like a cesspool.
I'm outside of COVID.
Like I'm a little bit of a germaphobe.
So it's like coins are not in the middle.
Okay, look at them though.
Look at this.
Canada Z-Dollard.
Is that, what is that animal?
It's a walrus, I think.
It's always cute.
Is that the new official animal of the nation?
Yeah.
We're also after COVID.
We're all the walruses, after all the COVID.
That's not the queen.
Could be the queen in a few years.
Like, she doesn't have that many years left, but I think maybe Elizabeth 1-1.
Yeah.
Wow.
Regina 1990.
Honestly, who has the time to do this?
Yeah.
And like the medals and the labor.
There's probably more time to do it.
Time investment, right?
Like, it's a toony.
Make a $100 bill.
Make $1,000.
Do those come in a bill?
I think so.
I've never carried one.
I have a fake million-dollar bill that my dad gave me when I was a kid, and I was like, that's.
Wait, is it a million-dollar bill?
It might not be.
If you try to spend it, it's like a big, yeah.
It has like a weird texture, and I'm like, I'm going to be so rich.
They're saying coin counterfeiting is rare in Canada, according to the Mint.
So it's debatable whether the coins can be truly considered counterfeit currency.
What do you mean then?
That means this, this can be a counterfeit.
Yeah, it's like counterfeiting doesn't happen here, so it's not a counterfeit.
Like, is the mint going postmodern on us?
Like, anything is currency.
Depends what your definition of is is.
Maybe they're preparing us for like when things like really go bad here and we have to like start trading stuff.
I think it's your half of the news.
Yeah.
Just prepare for the worst.
Thanks for the conditioning.
It's still metal.
It can still be used to trade for corn.
Yeah.
When things get really, really bad.
God willing, you know?
Oh, man.
Seems like a weird way to spend your time.
People have a lot of time on their hands right now.
Yeah.
Well, everything's locked down.
Except for our senators, they clearly don't have, well, I guess they have a lot of free time on their hands because they're extending their break by one week and they're resuming work on February 8th.
So what the heck have they been doing?
Well, they passed Bill C4 just before the break.
And then they're like, hi, five, guys.
We don't need to work anymore because we're making it illegal to counsel trans kids.
Yay.
Yep.
That's fruitful.
Yeah.
So they're taking a nice long break.
Yeah, like well deserved.
I mean, I thought originally this was because of COVID.
And they were like, no, we don't want to get together.
Then you could have obviously met via Zoom.
Yeah.
But like, no, they just we're not needed.
Yeah.
Which is probably actually true.
They work in the Department of Redundancy Department.
I just love that they're on vacation on my dime.
You know, like it's they're still getting paid, I'm sure.
Oh, for sure.
They're not like taking a hiatus where they're like, all right, guys, like, yeah, we'll donate our paychecks for the next two weeks.
To Matt and Kat.
Yeah.
Please email us at rapport at Venmo.
I'm just guying.
Yeah, but great to know that our government is hard at work.
Hard at work.
It's great.
I don't need, like, whatever.
They'll come back and they'll do some more terrible stuff.
Oh, for sure.
Very soon.
They'll be back.
Maybe they're just plotting right now and they're like exhausting from how much evil they've done.
They're like, oh, it's so hard being evil, but I love getting paid people.
We want to imprison more parents.
So how do we make it?
And pastors, let's just destroy the church, destroy the family.
No big deal.
Oh, they called us crazy.
I guess I'd need a break if I did all that.
That's true.
They're probably traumatized.
Yeah.
Probably have shell shock from all the damage they've caused from being horribly evil.
Speaking of which, Joe Biden is building the wall.
Yay.
But where is he building it?
Oh, outside of the White House.
Sorry, it's not at the border.
No, no, no.
It's outside of the White House to protect himself from the inevitable.
So it's not to stop illegal mining.
No, no, no.
I mean, maybe from migrating into his bathroom.
Interesting.
Why do you think this is stemming from?
So Alex Clark says, why is Biden building a cement wall around the White House?
Does he think major civil unrest is coming when food shortages get worse and inflation and gas prices continue to rise?
All while his approval pulls lower and lower.
Like, is he protecting himself from some sort of like sure?
I saw there was a funny tweet reply on that that was like, oh, it's to keep him from wandering off.
Oh, where the heck am I?
Oh, poor guy.
I know.
Pray for him, honestly.
Yeah, there it is.
Oh, there we are.
Crypto carnivore.
Oh, sounds fun.
That sounds like fun.
Cool.
But it's going to be digital meat soon.
We're almost there.
Yeah, honestly.
Or yeah, digital meat.
Sounds good.
Yum.
Yummy.
That's a funny way to have open borders.
It's like, open borders, let everyone in.
But like, stay away from me, though.
Well, it's the same as celebrities.
They're all like, oh, let all the immigrants in, you know.
But meanwhile, they live in these gated communities with their own private security.
You know, it's, it's.
And they should because they live in California.
Yeah, it's true.
Those crime rates, though, those Democrat snakes move out.
Oh, here we have a this is the White House wall video being built.
Yeah.
Wow.
I wonder how high it's going to go.
Do you think it'll like extend above the actual White House?
Like that would be hilarious.
Maybe some like graffiti on it.
Doesn't it look like the outside of the White House?
Like, why is why am I seeing like pillars and then dark spaces?
It almost looks like they're designing it to look like the White House.
Oh, like with a barrage.
Yeah.
Almost.
Yeah.
That's kind of sketchy.
Like, this is the White House.
Like, if you want to loot something, loot this.
Yeah.
And they like go to like break away.
Like what they did in Blazing Saddles.
I don't know if you've ever seen that movie, but they're like, this town is under attack from like bad guys.
So they're like, we're going to build a second town and the bad guys will ravage that one and we'll be fine.
I think that's where he's getting his ideas from Blazing Saddles.
Leaving YouTube for Deeper Topics00:13:36
It's not a bad idea.
It's a great movie.
Okay.
Well, everybody's going to be able to do it.
I mean, it's technically racist, but it's great.
Like, it's funny.
Gene Wilder.
It's all about the balance.
Yeah.
Wow.
This is so fascinating.
I wonder how much this is costing the American taxpayer.
Like, what, like, really, there's, this is really unfruitful.
Like, I don't understand.
They're destroying that beautiful lawn.
Yeah.
Honestly, look at how green that grass is, though.
Yeah.
Aren't they in like near California out there where they have like water shortages and stuff?
I don't know.
Whatever.
Not that I don't know anything about that, but I'm going to criticize.
Yeah.
Trout sucks.
Yeah.
So, we have this really cringy video.
We're going to leave YouTube shortly and we're going to continue on Odyssey Rumble and Super You.
Yeah.
So, head over there if you haven't already, because I know some of you are already watching on those platforms.
And that's where you can send in chats, which we read later.
Yeah.
Rumble rants.
Hopefully, they're kind.
Oh, that's okay.
We'll read the mean ones too.
Bring it on.
Yeah.
So, this is a super cringy video.
I saw it on Twitter yesterday and I was like, I don't want to watch it.
Please don't make me watch it.
Yeah, I watched like 10 seconds of it, but we're going to show you guys just to, you know, get your blood boiling, get you going for the day.
It looks like it's like a cold shower in the morning.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Play the clip.
Mona.
Don't vaccinate.
Don't wait.
Don't hesitate.
You got to vaccinate in the lone side state.
Vaccinate.
I don't think it's going to be a lot.
Vaccinate me all day long.
Vaccinate your daddy and mom.
Vaccinate.
Vaccinate me at the party.
I've had a party.
I love the vaccine all day long.
I want to vaccinate your mom.
I want to see you.
She's vaccinated.
Your aunt's mom.
Where are you?
I want to vaccinate you, but you can't hear my song.
Vaccinate me, Emathon.
Vaccination, right or wrong.
Dr. Fauci, give me that Auchie.
I want it in my body.
Vaccinate me.
I feel like this was originally a different song.
He just changed it.
Vaccinate me white or black.
Vaccinate you.
Vaccinate who?
Vaccinate you all day long.
Vaccinate your daddy and mom.
Vaccinate me, Emma.
That does not make me want to be vaccinated.
I held out to this one.
But I think this is it.
I think he makes some great points.
He's not done.
He's only memorized it.
He's reading.
I think he's nine and a half.
He's freestyling.
I think he's actually trying to launch his career.
I think he's doing like a Williams.
Vaccinate your body.
Who's like so bad and he's going to actually get famous also.
Oh, it's going to be one of those.
See, look, he just said to follow his Instagram.
This is some just sort of clown just trying to get followers.
And I bet he did.
He didn't even say his Instagram.
I'm going to follow him.
Follow his Instagram.
Who?
I don't know.
It's at Natterday and Crosby.
But okay, I want to know the purpose for that.
Like, I want to know the reactions of the people in the room listening to that.
Like, did they like that?
Did anyone think that was like fun?
Other than us, like, we were like, yeah, kind of dive in.
We're like, this is how we engage the youths right here.
This guy.
Yeah, I don't think that's how you do it.
You know, A for effort, but the content, but R for everything else.
Yeah.
Terrible.
Was this him?
Prime Time Stein.
Okay.
Oh, wow.
He's promoting himself.
Of course, vaccination rat.
Wait, what's that Alex Jones thing?
Is it?
What's your opinion of Alex Jones?
Oh, we could talk about that for like three hours, but not on YouTube.
Interesting.
We're going to leave YouTube so that we can really just dive into these topics because that made me visibly sick.
I actually think I have a tummy ache.
Yeah.
Like it hurts.
Yeah.
Well, also, you're not eating.
You look great, though.
I had a brand muffin earlier.
So I'm like, oh, yeah, promote the ignore us.
Go to rebelnewstore.com and buy some sick merch.
Look at that.
Trudeau has the stars in his hat.
He's got that hat, the white one with the red, and it's freaking dope.
And I'm super cute in it.
It's not going to look like me.
No, you're cuter.
She's pretty, but like she's cute.
But yeah.
Let's go, Brandon.
Freedom isn't free.
No, it ain't.
No, it surely ain't.
A little middle finger.
That's not safe for kids.
No.
My body, my choice.
Yes, it is.
Yep.
Faith, family, freedom.
Oh, yeah.
Nothing better.
They're all good.
Can we show the one that we designed, the bass lad and bass last?
Oh, yeah.
You and Lewis worked on those.
Those are cute.
It was like a group effort, but yes, we used the British terminologies.
Yeah.
They're British.
Yes.
Hello, I'm a bass lad.
Hello.
Oh, look at my name.
Oh, look at that.
Only 41.95 Canadian.
Yeah.
It's a cool hat.
So you want people to know that you're based, which I think one of the interns was like, what does based mean?
People ask me that all the time.
I don't know, but I'm going to, I'm like, I think it's like based in reality.
Yeah, you're not living.
It's rooted in reality.
I think so too.
But if we're wrong, y'all tell us in the Rumble chats.
Please do.
Yeah.
I'm, you know, I'm in my 30s, so I don't know all of the terms.
I'm 16, so I should know them all.
You look terrible.
I am not 16.
At a few years.
Are we?
Okay, bye, YouTube.
Okay, love you, bye.
You don't love us, but we love you.
Bye.
And we're still in Odyssey Rumble and Super You.
Hello, friends who have just come over here.
I feel like people probably, I don't know.
I guess they do.
They start on YouTube and then they migrate.
Maybe.
Yeah.
I don't know.
So welcome to the other platforms.
Now we can talk about COVID stuff because I love COVID.
I'm not sick of it at all.
No, it's going to make me depressed.
It's the hottest thing to talk about since 2020, 2021, probably 2022, going into like the next 10 years for sure.
Yeah, at least 2025.
I'll say, like, just on the whole COVID topic, it genuinely, I want it to go away.
Even though for like our business here, it is good to have this massive pen.
It's great, but we, and we say it, and Ezra said it in meetings.
It's like, we wish it would go away.
No, genuinely, I'm sick of it.
There's other stuff to talk about.
We're not like, oh, we need to talk about COVID for content.
It's like, no, there's so many things going on, but we're going to talk about COVID because it's like, it's important.
It's constantly infringing on our daily life.
Yeah, it literally affects every single person in this nation, except for Justin Trudeau.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Speaking of, let's watch this wonderful, not at all cringe-worthy clip.
I want to end today by speaking directly to kids once again.
I know many of you are in virtual school again.
Many of you have made more sacrifices over Christmas, over the holidays, not seeing your friends, not seeing your loved ones.
And I know almost half of kids across this country have gotten their vaccine from ages five to 12.
We need to get more.
So please ask your parents if you can get vaccinated.
Getting vaccinated protects yourself, protects your family, protects your grandparents, protects vulnerable people, but it also supports our frontline workers who are working incredibly hard.
Our nurses and doctors and people in hospitals who are dealing with a rise in cases.
We know kids across this country, you've been doing the right things over these past long years.
And it sucks, but you've been amazing.
And we need to keep doing everything we can.
I want to end today.
Is that legal?
Like, are you allowed to tell kids to go tell their parents to inject them?
What disgusting and belligerent propaganda.
Yeah.
Like, really, it's just, ooh, it makes my skin crawl.
It reminds me of a Simpsons episode where Kressy's like, kids, go into your mommy's wallet.
Get out the thing that says Visa.
It's like, that's, you're not allowed to do it.
It's coercion.
It's coercion.
And children look up to, I mean, I assume they look up to their prime minister.
Yeah, I mean, definitely.
If you're old enough to recognize who he is, of course.
Like, why wouldn't you?
He's the leader of your country.
I wonder who's like what kids are not vaccinated and are actually going to go tell their parents and their parents who have chosen not to vaccinate them are going to be like, okay, that's what you want.
Oh my gosh.
Like five-year-old boy, like you know what's best for you.
Yeah, like you shouldn't be speaking to kids at all.
Like any direct, like any direction where he's talking to kids is just like not a good thing.
It's completely manipulative.
It is disgusting.
But what's new?
It's Justin Trudeau.
Yeah.
That's just like, are we shocked?
Oh gosh, 45% of kids 5 to 11 have been vaccinated.
That's a lot.
Like that's more than too many.
It's like, it's like 45% too many, I think.
I saw this disgusting thread on Twitter that was, I mean, this is just someone's tweet, so I don't know if it's based in facts, but this person said only 3.5% of kids 5 to 11 have had their booster.
And then like people were commenting back and they're like, I'm so glad my kids are in that.
And I'm just like, oh, like, yucky.
And, and fine, like, do what you want with your kids.
But when you go on Twitter and take pictures of you vaccinating your kid or talk, like, oh, yeah, my kid's vaccinated.
So like, you're just asking, you're using your kid as like some sort of bargaining chip.
Yeah.
Like for social credit.
No, for sure.
It's disgusting.
No, it's, it's absolutely horrific.
Like these parents need, I don't know, they need help.
They need Jesus.
They need the Lord.
No, it's, it's, it's disgusting.
It's egregious.
It's egregious.
It's outrageous.
It's preposterous.
Sorry, there's.
I'm so sorry, you guys.
It's just, we don't have a, I don't know where the cough button is on this mic.
Apologies.
It's not COVID.
It's not.
I had it.
It was amazing.
Great times.
Premiers in Ontario and Saskatchewan say Quebec has gone too far.
Okay.
Obviously, this is in relation to the significant fines that will be given to unvaccinated adults in Quebec.
The vacc tax.
Vax tax.
It's going to start at $100, apparently.
And I don't know yet if that's going to be a monthly fee because in Greece, that's how they were doing it.
Yeah.
So that's terrible.
That is terrible.
And okay, cool.
The Ontario and Saskatchewan premiers are speaking out about this, but too little, too late.
And they also spoke out against vaccine passports.
They said we wouldn't do it.
And like, only two weeks, folks, only two more weeks.
Like, we don't want to close schools again.
You know, like, just, it's just this never-ending pile of crap that they keep spewing.
I mean, we'll talk about this later, but it's going to be interesting to see what happens on Monday with schools.
Yes.
Okay.
So, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Wednesday that the province will not move to tax those who aren't vaccinated against COVID-19 after Quebec announced plans to impose a health contribution tax on those who haven't received a shot while touring the opening of a mass vaccination clinic at the Toronto Zoo.
Okay.
What?
Why?
Wait, what?
For animals?
Is that for humans?
Like, I'm going to go to the zoo and expose my veins.
Like, to, ooh.
Yeah.
And isn't the zoo like outside?
Yeah, like, like, we just use this on a donkey.
But, like, aren't the vaccines supposed to be kept at a certain temperature and they're getting these vaccines in like below 15 outside?
Like, I don't know what the setup looks like.
But it also seems unhygienic.
It does.
The zoo stinks.
There's like hay and like you see hopped in.
Like the monkeys like laughing at you and cry as they're like, yeah, the sheep are like, you're a sheep.
Yeah.
And you're like, I think they have sheep there.
Okay, but also, is that like a weird tactic to coerce kids to get the vaccine then?
Because every kid loves the zoo.
Like, I don't, I know the zoo's probably not open right now.
I'm like, oh, let's see the butterflies.
Let's see the gorillas.
Ooh, let's get injected.
Yeah.
Let's go see this snake.
Yeah.
You know?
I don't know.
There's a lot going on there.
There is a lot to unpack.
Yeah.
You know, what do you even say?
I mean, it's our job to say something, but I don't.
Yeah.
Okay.
So this is Scott Moe, the premier of Saskatchewan.
So the Omicron variant is highly contagious and it will spread even with severe lockdown policies as other jurisdictions are experiencing.
Okay.
That's true.
I think we have audio on this.
We're starting.
Yeah, Jamie, no, we're taking a different approach.
The audio from a different video.
That's, you know, that voice anywhere.
Oh, Doug Ford.
We're taking a different approach.
Buck a beer.
Only two weeks.
Yeah.
That doesn't sound like him.
That sounds like Biden.
Yeah, that's terrible.
But yeah, no, it doesn't leave Biden.
You should hear my Anthony Fauci.
It's not going to be it.
It's now clear, at least in this Omicron wave of the pandemic, that lockdown policies can cause harm in our communities.
Pandemic Policies Debate00:15:23
No kidding.
Often with little or virtually no benefit.
They cause economic harm by taking away jobs and removing family livelihoods.
They cause psychological harm by taking away social contact, most particularly for our youth.
And they are an infringement on the rights and freedoms that we have come to enjoy and value as Canadians.
And that's why they should only be used if absolutely necessary and only if they can clearly be shown that they are being effective and they are working.
And we are not seeing that as being the case today.
Or yesterday.
Stunning and brave.
Yeah.
A few years too late there, Scott.
Yeah.
Like it took most people a month to see how destructive lockdowns were from the human psyche.
Yeah.
But this guy two years later, he's like, we're fine.
I'm glad.
I'm glad.
Yeah, sure.
If he means what it's saying.
It's good to hear.
If he means what he's saying.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm with you.
I want to remain optimistic and hopeful that there will be a shift.
But as we've seen time and time again, our governments just haven't proven that to be the case.
But it's funny because there's so many elections happening.
That's a good thing.
Midterms, the provincial election here, there could be a snap election called again in the fall federally.
So we are seeing a slight turning of the tide.
Hopefully.
A little bit.
And I guess I think this is on our list too.
Is it?
How they're just distinguishing between, oh yeah, there it is.
It's in a couple, you know, we'll just talk about it now.
Yeah, Christine Elliott, I mean, other provinces have said this, but Christine Elliott has come out, I think it was yesterday, saying that we're distinguishing now between hospitalizations and deaths between people who had co or had, were they because of COVID or with COVID or died like from with or from.
Yeah, so exactly.
Again, has been something that people with brains have been saying since the entire time.
Well, also, though, important to note that our media, like our legacy media, has actually been using those sorts of phrases, but people just haven't been catching.
I've seen a lot of times articles have said died with COVID.
And it's like, okay, that doesn't mean from COVID.
He had a gunshot wound to the head.
Yeah, exactly.
but he died with covid and people just but the article headline would say man dies with covid Yeah.
And I see unvaccinated man.
It's like, well, he was shot in the brain.
Yes.
Well, the vaccine saves you from gun wounds.
Yeah.
And it's an all-around health measure.
Yeah, definitely.
But the thing is, is that it's great to see that they're now acknowledging what we've all been talking about.
Sure, because you can see that with all these elections coming up, they're like, ooh, people kind of hate us.
So let's swalk all this craziness back a little bit.
Yeah, please do.
No, that's a really good point.
Yeah.
It's again, a little too late, but yeah.
I mean, they're like, oh, how does the public feel about us?
Like, not good.
Yeah.
Not good.
No, and I think now, too, that Omicron has basically spread everywhere.
And to almost anyone, people are like, hmm, this isn't as bad as the media has made it out to be.
So I think the narrative is shifting on like a personal level.
You know, people are kind of slowly waking up, hopefully.
And I don't think it's on our list here, but there was a poll that came out that said like 59% of Canadians are, I might be saying the number wrong, but it's the majority of Canadians think that at some point they will get COVID.
Yeah.
And I think with like, I believe I had Omicron.
It wasn't like but it was pretty mild.
Like it wasn't fun.
No.
Well, I've been sicker.
Yeah.
I didn't enjoy it, but it was like, it was the flu.
It was a bad flu for me.
And I think the more people that get the flu are going to be like, hmm.
Yeah.
Perhaps we overreact.
Yeah.
Like, just a little.
Okay.
So the poll from the Angus Reed Institute released Thursday found out that 55% of Canadians expect to get COVID eventually, regardless of the precautions they take.
Ooh, so I guess that means they're admitting that their mask and their vax doesn't work.
Putting a single layer of cotton over my mouth won't stop an infectious disease.
I'm sorry.
That's okay.
Yeah, I know you've been wearing your mask everywhere, but it doesn't work.
Okay, well, maybe it won't now.
Florida and Texas are two of the notable areas that have already taken this approach to handling the pandemic.
More than 10 million people have contracted COVID in both states, combined along with nearly 140,000 deaths, according to tracking data from Google.
So is this the beginning of the end?
you think this is endemic like do you think well the who came out like today i'm sure to counter all this and they're like it's It's not endemic yet.
And it's like, you've lost me.
You lost me a long time ago.
I don't even know who the heck you guys are.
Didn't Bonnie Henry admit, though, that Omicron could lead to like the end of this?
I thought I read that somewhere.
I think she said the words endemic.
I've heard another, I forget which country it is, but they declared it an endemic like weeks ago, months ago.
So it's like so, and didn't Bill Gates recently say something about this too?
I think that's on our list here.
Maybe we should, yeah, Bill Gates said the same thing, something about how Omicron is just as mild as the flu or something else.
It was this week.
And because everyone's going to be getting it, this means that we'll have more natural immunity.
Yeah.
Bill Gates, once Omicron passes, COVID could be more like the seasonal flu.
Well, I kind of feel like COVID in general has been kind of like the seasonal flu anyway, but the seasonal flu kills hundreds of thousands of people a year, right?
Yeah.
So it's like, oh, it's not the flu.
People die.
It's like, people die from the flu.
I think it actually kills more children.
Yeah, definitely.
Definitely the elderly, but they're vulnerable.
And maybe, you know, because the flu is more deadly to children than COVID has been, maybe with Omicron and like the infectious, I don't know the word infectiousness going up, but the deadliness going down, maybe we will see more kids getting severe COVID, like because they're more susceptible to that type of disease.
Again, not a doctor.
No, me either.
But it's like, but you know, no one wants to see young kids die.
No, like.
But that's the thing too.
Like, if kids were dropping dead in the streets, I would do anything I could to protect them.
I would wear a mask if they work to protect kids.
I would do anything because, you know, they're the future generation.
Or if even just people were piling bodies in the streets.
Exactly.
At the beginning of the pandemic, I was like, oh, this is scary.
Yeah.
For two weeks, I was like, we're like wearing a mask.
I didn't even have a mask at the time, but it was like, cover your face.
Like, don't go outside.
Yeah.
But then it's like, it's been two years and I still have yet to see a dead body on the street.
Oh, no.
And I don't hear any more ambulances other than for the crime that's gone up around Toronto.
But otherwise, no, I think you're gunshot wounds with COVID.
Yeah.
Oh, sorry.
They died with COVID, not from COVID.
But he was also 190.
Yeah.
And he was in a gunfight.
Yeah.
It's crazy times.
Yeah.
It's crazy times.
Oh, man.
Okay.
This is see, this is in line with what we were talking about, about the possible turning of the tides.
Quebec plans to lift curfews on Monday.
This is from the Montreal Gazette.
Guys, this is pretty great news.
It is, but also, it's not really something that should be celebrated because it never should have been implemented in the first place.
That's a good point.
But I do agree, like, when we get a win.
We have to take our wins.
Yeah, because we don't have anything to be excited about.
So, no, for sure.
I want to know more about the reasoning.
Like, why it's only, it was what, about two weeks that they did the curfew?
Like, I don't understand.
What did that do?
I bet nothing because it just pissed a lot of people off, and thousands of people just decided to gather and protest in the freezing heat.
Yes.
Yes, exactly.
For your health.
And maybe that's part of the ploy.
Maybe they just wanted people to go out in the cold and catch COVID so the numbers would continue to rise.
I don't know.
So, like, Legault, on one hand, is like, we're going to charge you money if you're not vaccinated.
But on the other hand, he's like, okay, go for curfew over.
It's like, where do you stand, Mr. Sorry?
Missile?
Where are we?
Are we in a deadly pandemic or are we coming out of it?
It's very hard to keep up.
He's a confusing guy.
Yeah, I don't.
Yeah.
Don't want to be his friend.
And I don't want to live in his province.
No.
If I lived in that province, I would leave.
But the curfew helps.
Yeah.
Like, ending the curfew helps.
But finding unvaccinated people.
No.
Like, in what world is that okay?
I apparently in this world.
Yeah.
You know.
Apparently, in the great province of Quebec.
Which is awful because Quebec is a beautiful place.
Oh, yeah.
It's stunning.
It's one of my favorite places to vacation in Canada.
It's so great.
Like, there's so many amazing restaurants in the world.
It's like another country.
It feels like a little Europe.
Yeah, it's beautiful.
And there's actually like pride there they have, like a more of like a status pride, but it's like national.
Yeah.
You know, like a culture.
Yeah, exactly.
Unlike the rest, well, I guess the West has a culture.
Unlike Canada.
I mean, Ontario, Toronto.
We're like culture.
Do you mean like coffee?
Do you mean brunch?
Do you mean wokeism?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm like, I'm like adulting.
That's the culture in Toronto.
Has Trudeau commented on any of these curfew restrictions?
Like, does he have an opinion?
Does he care that we have like a provincial leader that's literally forcing people to stay in their homes for a certain reason?
He cares.
He's for it, I'm sure.
Well, I'd love to hear his take, you know.
Would you?
No.
He'd be like, get your kids vaccinated.
This is why we have a curfew.
But then it's like the whole country is watching Quebec and no one else has a curfew.
Yeah.
Like, you know, and the restrictions just vary province to province.
So why have they been so much more strict than all the other provinces?
Because on a worldview, Canada is up there with Australia in terms of authoritarian measures.
But Quebec is just like, no, we're going to outdo all of you guys.
I'm just going to take it to the next level.
It's because the French are so intense.
Okay, so Trudeau says Ottawa looking at Quebec's proposed anti-vax tax for unvaccinated with interest.
What does this mean?
Like a federal or like just in Ottawa?
So reacting on Wednesday to the Quebec government's plan to impose an anti-vax tax on those who are continuing to refuse to be inoculated against COVID-19.
Well, it doesn't actually inoculate you against COVID.
I refuse.
Yeah.
Maybe I'd get it if it actually stopped the spread.
Just kidding.
I'll never get it.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Ottawa is looking at the proposal with interest, although there are a lot more details that we have to hear on how this would work.
Well, it wouldn't work.
Yeah, it would be terrible.
But they're talking about it.
Yeah, that's scary.
That's really scary.
But also completely unsurprising.
Yeah, no, no, I'm not surprised.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm going to be tunneling through the center of the earth.
Straight to China because that's going to be so much better.
You should use your like dingle hopper and we'll just start digging now.
I lost my hair forgot it.
It's plastic, so it might not work, but we'll figure it out.
Single use.
Terrible.
My God, that's terrifying.
Okay.
Okay.
Feds make last-minute reversal on vaccine mandate for truckers.
Yay.
Yay.
So your Amazon orders will continue to arrive, hopefully.
This is what I'm getting.
I think it was a scare tactic.
Yeah, I think you're absolutely right.
Like when they announced the lockdown two years ago, everyone bought toilet paper.
For some reason, just toilet paper was off the show.
I'm not sure.
Like, what do you think you're going to be doing all fucked up?
I guess there's nothing else to do.
So Ottawa announced in mid-November that truck drivers crossing into Canada would need to be fully vaccinated by this Saturday.
But on Wednesday evening, Canada Border Services Agency spokeswoman Rebecca Purdy told the Canadian press that Canadian big riggers will not have to quarantine if they are unvaccinated or have received only one dose.
The news came as a surprise to Canadian Trucking Alliance president Stephen Leskowski.
Okay.
Hopefully.
It's good news.
It is good news, especially because, so my husband works for a chemical company.
So he deals with a lot of transport stuff.
And there's a shortage of truck drivers.
Like it's hard.
It's a hard industry.
My dad's a truck driver.
Like it's very tough on your body mentally, you know?
So I can't see why anyone would want to be a truck driver.
So just the fact that they were even considering laying these people off.
Well, just like nursing.
To me, it's like one of the most noble professions.
But like, I don't want to do it.
I don't have hours.
Yeah.
They work hard.
They do.
And it's funny because unlike nurses, truck drivers are sitting in a capsule alone all day for hours and hours and hours.
So like their need to get vaccinated should be less than anyone's.
Absolutely.
Than anyone's.
And why don't you just test these people if the tests work?
You know, like, because technically, if I test negative for COVID, I am safer to be around than a vaccinated person.
Vaccines are safe and effective.
And effective.
Okay.
So that's good news.
Yeah.
Hopefully that sticks.
You don't have to panic by your cotton pads on Amazon anymore.
Yeah.
I'm speaking to myself.
Please don't panic by anyway.
So I was about, I literally had like a $300 Amazon order in my car yesterday because it just like vitamins and dog treats and stuff like that.
I was like, what if I cared?
Yeah, like what if you go and there's just like no dog treats?
Yeah.
No, your dog, it was her birthday yesterday.
It was her birthday.
Happy birthday, Beatrice.
Happy birthday, Beatrice.
Yeah.
She's a sweetie.
She is a sweetie.
And she likes her treats.
So if I couldn't get them for her, you know, I'd have, I'd hear about it.
No, they're motivated exclusively by food.
Oh, yeah, especially her.
She's a fatty.
So that's good.
Okay.
So RCMP union says it's representing unvaccinated Mounties fighting the federal mandate.
See, the tides are turning.
Yeah.
Again, hopefully, although it's a little late, you know, because didn't they announce in the fall that they would be terminating those who refuse to vaccinate?
It's a little late.
But they're like, oh, crap, it's an election year.
So it's all trickling down now.
And you're like, perhaps, perhaps we should stand by people's basic God given rights.
Yeah, I guess better late than never.
So the RCMP's union says it's representing a small number of Mountis who are fighting the federal government's vaccine mandate.
We talked about this last fall.
The government brought in a mandatory vaccination policy.
Those who did not comply were warned that they be put on leave.
Brian Sovere, sorry if I'm messing that up, Suave, whatever.
President of the National Police Federation said his union has heard from members who have been put on leave or dismissed due to noncompliance.
We're neither, oh, this is funny.
We're neither here nor there on vaccine mandates.
We don't support it.
We're not against it.
He said, so what a classic Canadian response.
I don't know.
What do you guys think?
Teachers at Risk00:04:39
Whatever you say is where we stand as well.
I stand for nothing because I'm Canadian.
Yeah.
You know?
Because they don't want to anger anyone.
Yeah.
Why don't you just have a spine?
No, for sure.
That's right.
Just stand for something.
Even if you're pro-vaccine.
Stand for the people that work for you.
Oh, 100 million percent.
Especially RCMP.
Like, as we've mentioned earlier, we've seen crime skyrocket across this country throughout the pandemic.
RCMP, like, they're important.
Like, they're important figures in our society.
We, we need police.
We don't need less.
No, no.
I would think that we need police and we need people to be supported by their employers, which, you know, we're so lucky.
Yeah.
Like, I wish everyone enjoyed the freedom that we do.
Oh, yeah.
It's been like a complete blessing being able to work here.
And like seeing people's faces.
Yeah.
Like I can see your face.
I know.
I'm so lucky.
It's a great phase.
It's a great phase.
But actually, when I first started here, I remember I was like sitting at my desk and then I'd go up, get up to go to the bathroom and I was like, I need my mask.
And it's like, oh, I don't.
Like, how gross is it that we like, that's like normal to get up and your automatic response.
On my first day, I wore my mask into the office because I was like, I was so conditioned.
And when I walked in, everyone was like, oh, they were like, who's this blue girl?
Like, she's a plant.
She's a fed.
Get her out of here.
I had to convince people I was cool for like the first three months I worked here and like remember the mask.
I was like, it was a joke.
It took a while, but you got there.
Yeah, it's gross how conditioned we're being.
Definitely.
So that's great news from the RCMP.
Thanks, guys.
You're doing a great job.
We already talked about the with versus from COVID thing.
Oh, Christine Elliott.
So that's great news as well.
This is, oh, okay.
So let's talk about school.
Yeah.
Is school going back to are kids going back to school in person on Monday?
What do you think?
I mean, I'm sure.
Okay.
I suspect they will go back to class and then something will make, cause an uptick in numbers and then they'll be back into remote learning.
What do you think?
I don't know.
I think they're not going to go back on Monday.
They're just going to be like, out of an abundance of caution.
You think you'll announce it?
It's a hard choice, folks.
Yeah.
You'll announce this tomorrow, you think, or like the day before?
I guess, yeah, Friday.
Because teachers need to know, parents need to know, like, it's, you know, many parents don't have the luxury of having a daycare on hand.
Like, you know, school is their daycare.
I've noticed a lot of people using the narrative of like, how do we protect the teachers, the teachers?
And it's like, I do agree we should.
My mom's a teacher.
I don't want her to get sick.
Like, yeah.
That, yes.
However, like police officers and like firemen or firewomen's fire persons, teachers are in a high-risk category.
So like you, you are not entitled to say, like, it's a, I remember learning this years ago and I was scared because I'm like, my mommy's a teacher, but you're not allowed to not go to class because you don't feel safe.
That's part of being a teacher.
It's like you are a teacher.
You are on the front lines.
So why is COVID fear different than like any other dangerous fear that you might know for sure?
I remember in the first grade, someone in our school died from meningitis and we all just went back to school.
Like there wasn't like.
Yeah, there was a stabbing in my school in grade seven.
Like straight up.
No biggie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you just, you go to work and you do your job.
But I mean, Tamara Ugolini, one of our reporters, went to a protest at Queen's Park this past weekend protesting to get kids back to class.
So it was a group of parents and students and teachers.
And these teachers want to go back to class.
And the ones that don't, you know what?
Like, quit, quit, retire.
There are so many young, eager, healthy people that are like, I want to go work.
But it's like these, you know, it's older teachers who are like, I don't want to retire yet because the longer you work, the more of you.
More attention you change.
Like, again, I have the utmost respect for teachers.
They work really hard.
They're forming the minds of the youths and it's important work.
But if you are scared to go to work in a high-risk environment, you should probably retire.
And then let the young people who are like willing to go in there and teach the kids, like let them in.
Yeah, for sure.
So if any of you guys are interested, go to backtoclass.ca and you can sign our petition, send an email to Premier Ford and our education minister, Stephen Lee.
It might be important to do that like now.
Yeah, definitely.
So definitely support this great campaign that Tamara is spearheading.
She's great.
She is great.
She's such a nice person.
Petition for Young Teachers00:14:20
Yeah, there it is.
So we have almost 10,000 signatures.
So let's meet our goal, y'all.
Let's get to 12,000 by the, by this weekend.
I think it'd be really fruitful if we can send a message to our politicians that kids need to be in the classroom.
It's better for them.
There's no risk of kids being infected with COVID, really.
It's very low risk.
I mean, they might get Omicron.
They might get the sniffles.
Like, I hope it gets very sick.
Yeah, they're low risk.
They're low risk.
They want to go to school.
Like, this is.
Students are doing what adults won't in the fight against Omicron.
So thousands of students are walking out of class or protest conditions at U.S. schools and challenge adults who are placing profit off their well-being.
Oh, wow.
Crazy.
So there's just, I guess, a walkout that's happening.
Yeah, like in Brooklyn.
Oh, yeah.
Well, New York's crazy too.
So wait, are the kids saying that they don't feel safe going to class or they don't like how they're...
I think they don't like the adult's response to COVID-19 probably.
That's interesting.
Leave them kids alone.
You know?
That's almost as good as that rap we heard earlier.
I just want to throw this in there because I don't see it on our list anymore.
But my guy, Joe Rogan, he's under fire again.
And it's on the petition note because there's like a petition to get not him removed from Spotify, but they want there to be like some sort of misinformation disclaimer on all his episodes.
And so they had, they have like 214 signatures on their petition.
And I'm like, that's lame.
214.
And they're like medical professionals or like medical educators.
So it's like, I teach gym class.
Like I'm a medical educator.
But 214 signatures probably isn't good.
Oh, 270.
My bad.
Probably not going to do it.
I don't think so.
And I love how they're saying he's a menace to the public.
Yeah.
Like, how?
He's just having fruitful conversations with people who are way smarter than him.
I would.
Yeah.
And he says that every time.
I would bet that none of the people who signed that have ever listened to a full episode.
Oh, probably.
They've seen clips that are taken out of context and they're like, pah, blah, But like, what happened to the discussion about like an open discussion about science?
Like, as a medical professional, these discussions are fruitful to finding solutions.
In that article, there's a line that's like, he makes it seem like there are two sides to the issue.
And there's not.
Vaccines are safe and effective.
It's like, there's obviously two sides to the issue because there's two sides to the issue.
Yeah, like it's very polarizing.
It's very pole.
If there wasn't, 100% of people would be vaccinated.
We wouldn't be having this conversation.
Yet here we are.
No, they just use the word misinformation and they just say it.
And then it's like anything that it's like throwing around the word bigot.
It just means nothing at this point.
Like it's not misinformation just because you deem it so, you know?
Like Dr. Robert Malone is an inventor of mRNA vaccine technology and they're saying he's spreading misinformation on vaccine technology.
Like what?
Yeah, if you can't trust the gentleman who invented it, then who can you?
It's like Bill Gates is spreading misinformation on how Microsoft works.
Like what?
Yikes, yikes, guys.
Yikes.
We're having fun.
It's good times, y'all.
Should we talk about the Quebec judge that has suspended unvaccinated man's visitation with his child?
I know that you said that we have a campaign going.
Yeah, it is letusvisit.ca.
So y'all can go there to sign our petition and send an email as well.
But so this is the first of its kind, apparently, where a parent has been separated from his child.
And I think it's horrible to like, you know, not allow someone to visit someone in any capacity, but a child, like they can't consent to anything.
They must be scared.
Yeah.
Like a lot.
Like, I don't think a child wants to explain that.
I don't want to a kid.
Exactly.
Like, where's dad?
Well, Premier Lego says that.
Sorry, you have to suffer alone.
Yeah.
Like, I wouldn't want to be in a hospital alone, let alone as a child.
Oh, is the child in a hospital?
I think it's the child who's in the hospital.
Oh, I thought it was just like a divorce visitation thing, but I didn't know that.
Oh, maybe that's the entire article.
Oh, I think that's what it is.
We're spreading misinformation.
Guys, let's read it.
Okay, yeah.
In the decision published December 23rd, Justice Jean-Sébastien Valenco wrote, Continued visitation was not in the interest of the 12-year-old child or the child's two younger half-siblings given the state of the pandemic.
Oh, okay.
So it's the other way around.
The decision states: the man told the court that despite his reservations surrounding vaccination, he followed the rules in place and rarely left home.
So he could see his kids.
Yeah.
But not enough.
Wow.
I just don't think this.
Okay.
However, Justice Valencourt wrote that posts on the father's Facebook page suggested he was a conspiracy theorist, which isn't, which led the court to doubt he was following health rules as he claimed.
So what that means is he said, is the vaccine safe and effective?
And they're like, conspiracy!
It's conspiracy.
Like, cancel the man.
Don't let him see his child.
Oh, my gosh.
This is good.
That's gross.
Really gross.
It's really gross.
But at any rate, people should be allowed to visit whomever they want in the hospital.
Like, it doesn't.
This is like, unless the kid is like, I hate my dad.
He scares me.
I don't want to see him.
It's like, well, that's a conversation.
Yeah.
I didn't see that as part of the story.
I don't think it's like someone has decided that the dad's a conspiracy theorist and therefore should not be allowed to like impregnate his child's brain with these crazy ideas.
Like, my parents are divorced.
They've been divorced since I was like one years old.
And I have a super liberal parent and a super conservative parent.
And the juxtaposition of that, that yin yang has made me like way more critical of all ideas.
Like when someone says, oh, this is the way it is.
Like I've always been like, is it?
Yeah.
All through my life.
And I think it's a great thing.
So like this child will benefit from having even a conspiracy theorist father because he'll be exposed to so many ideas.
And maybe if his dad is wrong, he'll grow up one day and be like, hey, dad, I don't agree with your crazy ideas.
Like that, you have to learn how to do that.
Not just, but the mother now is just going to get to tell this kid whatever she wants and it'll just be like digested and regurgitated.
No, it's not healthy and it's not going to be fruitful when you grow up, you know, to not have those critical thinking skills and to be able to discern what you think is true and et cetera.
Etka, Etka, Etka.
Yeah.
It's very sad.
Polarizing times.
Omicron wave prompts media to rethink which data to report.
Well, that sounds like a, yeah.
But what are they talking about here?
Let's see.
Okay.
So for two years, coronavirus case counts and hospitalizations have been wild.
Sorry, where is it?
Oh, there we go.
I lost it.
Have been widely used.
They used barometers of the pandemic's march across the world.
But the Omicron wave is making a mess of the usual statistics, forcing news organizations to rethink the way they report such figures.
Quote, it's just a data disaster, said Catherine Wu, staff writer of, staff writer who covers COVID-19 for the Atlantic magazine.
What is this about?
Are they saying that we they did they didn't do us justice?
Yeah.
And well, one of the quotes also says that the counts only reflect what is reported by health authorities, so they don't include people who test themselves.
Okay, okay.
So for that reason, the Associated Press has recently told its editors and reporters to avoid emphasizing case counts and stories about the disease.
I mean, so they're like, oh, maybe don't use these scare tactics because there's like the case numbers are extremely high.
Extremely high, but the severity is low.
Oh, yeah.
Again, yes.
Well, we knew we, yes.
No, absolutely.
And that's why it's hilarious that this is coming out and yet many of us are still in lockdown.
Yeah.
Like we know the cases are mild.
We know they're not necessarily overwhelming hospitals.
So what the heck?
Like this, this admitted, like admitting this really doesn't do anything for us.
Yeah, no.
Like it's like welcome to the welcome to the club, friends.
You're a conspiracy theory.
Yeah, I love how they're all like, oh, like recent findings suggest it's like two years ago.
Yeah, like most of us, again, it's not about knowing.
Like I don't know a lot.
No.
But you look and you read and you gauge and you come to conclusions.
And like many of us have come to these conclusions a long time ago.
But now people who just digest mainstream media, maybe they'll start to be like, oh, maybe the, you know, because they're starting to question the narrative they put out, I'm allowed to without being labeled a conspiracy theory.
They need to, their hand to be held.
Yeah, it's like, welcome to critical thinking, my friends.
It's, it's shocking how few people actually use their own brains?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's scary.
We failed.
So this is the, um, what is this?
The Dutch?
The Danish, Danish.
You have to say Danish, according to Dave.
Is it?
Okay.
My bad, you guys.
The Danish newspaper has admittedly failed in their reporting of the COVID-19 pandemic, basically.
Why is this bolded like that?
For almost.
I think it's because it's translated.
See, it's a translation.
For almost two years, we, the press, and the population have been almost hypnotically preoccupied with the authorities' daily Corona Tale.
I'm guessing that's what they mean?
Coronatal?
I don't know what that is.
I don't know what that word means.
But that's kind of like the mass hyposis formation that people are talking about.
Same idea.
Basically, they're just admitting that they've been fear-mongering for the last two years, which, again, most of us already know.
It's nice that they're admitting that they're wrong, but I...
We should have, like, a little checklist.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, yep, we, we were right.
We were.
And again, it's not like me and you.
It's just like people who've been critically.
We're the arbiters of what is true.
No, I'm just kidding.
If you agree with me.
But like, again, I welcome, I welcome people who are now starting to question these things with open arms.
Like, we're going to be graceful and gracious about it.
We're not going to be like, I told you so.
Let's not.
Let's not.
Because at one point, I was like, oh, maybe.
Maybe COVID's scary.
Yeah.
No.
And I had to learn that it wasn't that way.
And I'm glad that when I did, people who were already feeling that way weren't like, haha, like, told you so.
You're an idiot.
Like, don't, let's not.
Let's not make morphearing division.
We are going to be kind.
So you are all welcome to come to this.
We humbly welcome you.
Yes.
Come take the red pill.
Yeah.
Like leave the matrix.
You're going to be okay.
We're going to cradle you.
We're going to take all your plugs out.
It's going to be great.
Just come with wine.
And if you have any good cheese.
Yeah.
Like a charcuterie board.
That would be great.
And wine.
And then we will welcome you graciously.
But only then will we welcome you.
Is it Italian wine also?
Yes, please.
Tuscany.
Yeah.
Nice.
I think I'm going to have some wine later.
Yeah, that'd be nice.
Yeah.
If you got Omicron post-vaccination, medical experts advise not to rush out for a booster shot.
Well, if you unpack all this, because I did briefly, they're telling people not to get tested if they think they have symptoms, right?
Don't overwhelm the hospitals and clinics.
Rapid tests are not readily available.
So if you think you have it, assume you do, isolate.
Like that's the most current health directive.
However, this article is saying if you've had COVID post-vaccination, which you don't know if you did because they're telling you not to get tested, then you shouldn't get boosted.
So what I'm hearing is, don't get boosted.
Assume you've had it, and don't get boosted.
I think that's like the runaround way that they're maybe they're helping us out.
They're like, don't get don't do it.
Because like, yeah, please.
No, maybe that's, maybe that's it.
That would be like, how are you supposed to know that you have COVID post-vaccination if they're telling you not to get tested for COVID?
Yeah.
Not to mention, like, we all know the testing is faulty.
So it's like, how do you actually truly know unless you've been tested for the proper antibodies, which is very difficult to gain access to that information, right?
Okay, wait.
So people should still get a boost.
Of course, of course you had to write that.
This is Dr. Lenora Sachs Singer, an infectious diseases specialist and associate professor at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.
She told CBC News, I think the harder part is when is the best time to boost.
When?
Probably never.
Yeah, I would say never.
I would say that's my medical advice.
Yeah.
Take vitamins, you guys.
Yeah.
I've never once heard anyone say take vitamin D or go for a jog.
No.
Or stop eating vitamin C, fast.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, let's not go crazy.
Fast food is amazing and delicious.
Yeah, but I mean, like, take out aero.
No, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, like, you don't need to Uber Eats all day.
Okay.
And if you're going to Uber something, get a good, go for a walk and pick it up, and then get a salad.
Take some vitamin C with your lunch.
Your cursed.
Yes.
Oh, my gosh.
Yes.
Zinc and copper.
Yes.
You got to do that.
We are.
Maybe we should have a medical show.
We're basically just Alex Jones now.
So we can have our own vitamins and be like, this is great, kids.
It's going to keep your hair from turning gray.
I love that.
Yeah, that's what Quercetin apparently does.
Like on a cell, it was Dr. Rhonda Patrick.
She was talking about like on a cellular level, like where you start getting gray hairs, it spreads from that area, which is why you like, not that I know anything about gray hair, but you'll find them all in the same area.
So she says like Quercettin helps like stop that spread of these decaying cells.
Why We Should Form a Party00:15:25
Again, I don't really know.
But so I've been taking it for a couple of years now for like beauty reasons.
And I'm like, oh my God, it's like actually good for me too.
Oh my gosh, I love that.
Yeah.
So there's so many reasons to take it.
Yeah.
So take care of yourself, I guess.
Take care of yourself, guys.
Take care of yourself.
Cool.
Have we talked?
Talked about so many things.
We're just going all over the place.
Oh, we talked about Rogan, and that's on the list too.
Let's do that.
Oh my gosh, it's 103.
Okay, so wait, do we need to do chats?
Are we gonna?
I think we're doing it.
Okay, we're gonna play this video first.
This is not a nice video.
This is a woman was celebrating a significant birthday.
She is handicapped.
And she wanted to go out to a nice restaurant.
She says she doesn't go out very often.
She's unvaccinated, or a couple people in her group are unvaccinated and they were refused service.
Should we play the video and I'll stop talking about it?
Sorry if you're listening to this and there are kids at home.
Stop fucking wearing it.
You are.
You need us to go.
This is in New York.
So it explains a little bit.
Look at the bartender in the back, just like making my Cosmos.
He's like, I'm going to drink this.
Yeah.
One for you, one for me.
I don't deserve this.
You guys have to sign a teeth.
No, and this guy is not.
No, no, no, no.
And he's still involved.
I don't understand why he's talking to you.
So what happens with that very same sign?
Who are you guys?
Shadow Trump for somebody else.
Oh, God.
What does Trump have to do with it?
Yeah.
What does Trump have to do with it?
Trump is pro-vaccine.
Yeah.
You took Trump's vaccine.
You get him, girl.
You took Trump's vaccine.
Are you a Trump supply?
Yeah, celebrating.
Are you a Trump supporter?
It sounds like they're the ableist Trump supporters.
It's very important for all of you.
Who the fuck are you touching?
Don't fucking touch me.
I don't know.
Oh, those New Yorkers in the language, though.
Boy.
You'll just fucking touch me.
We all need to be a little bit more like that, you know?
Like a little zippier.
It's true.
Like, I find in Canada, so many people just sit back and watch these kinds of horrible, egregious things happen.
And I'm just, I'm so feisty that when I see an injustice, I'm like, in there, like, that's probably why we work here.
Yeah.
Like, I like, please stop.
I'm like, I can't.
I have to say something.
And I'm glad that these people are kind of grouping together for their friend.
You know, it's, I wish more people were a little bit feistier, but I think like within reason too, you always have to obviously.
And like, don't be violent.
Don't touch people.
Don't push, but like use your words.
Stand up for injustice.
And don't call people names.
Like, that's such a cheap shot.
Like, just, you know, be calm and humbled and make your case, you know?
And a little feisty.
You gotta be a little peppery.
Yeah.
Scare them a little.
Like, yeah, what she, like, it's like, oh, what's she gonna do?
It's like, well, I'm not gonna do anything.
But I don't know.
I don't want you to know that.
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah.
You gotta play that.
Are we ready for some chats?
Yeah, let's do it.
Okay.
So, oh, wow.
$100 from Chalky Brush.
Thank you.
I know who that is.
That's extremely generous.
Gates needs to stop trying to block the sun and trying to get us to drink cockroach milk.
Great show.
Keep it up.
Yeah.
You know what?
I will never have cockroach milk in my latte in the morning.
If you had it, though, it could be delish.
No, I'm not going to.
I drink almond milk.
No, I'm kidding.
Okay, but when I first moved to Toronto, I had an apartment that was like in a low-income area, like infested with the quintessential Toronto experience.
Yeah, it was a fine apartment.
I only heard gunshots occasionally, but after seeing those little critters run around, I never want to drink one.
Yeah.
Like, I'm thank you, Chalky.
Thank you.
That's so kind of you.
That's huge.
Okay.
$1 from C1 SAS.
Bill Gates is a sociopath, a megalomaniac, and a suspected pedophile.
Suspected.
I guess having a lot of money makes that all okay.
Oh, yeah.
That's correct.
Rules for thee, not for me.
Pretty much.
Yeah.
Thank you for your dollar.
Thank you.
Okay, we messed this up.
Okay, so no, I know who this is now.
It's Mike from Canada.
So we're going to say Mike.
Mike.
C-A.
Wow.
Hello.
We really messed that up last night.
Yeah, we did.
I'm sorry.
It's confusing.
It's a backwards E. Mike.
Oh, yeah.
CA.
So he says, oh, thank you for your dollar, first of all.
I applied to Rebel News a month ago.
Now they show now high-rank signs on Twitter.
I'm going to a Hamilton City Hall rally today at 3 p.m. to show folks that a mask shouldn't be worn to earn a living.
Okay, well, I definitely follow up on that application.
Yeah, and if you're in Hamilton and you want to go to this rally at 3 p.m. to support Mike, go for it, y'all.
Yes, and thank you for watching and for your support, as always.
Heck yeah.
Okay.
$10 from G867.
Gate677?
That's a cool way to say it.
Yeah, I think so.
Again, I'm old.
$10.
Thank you.
Trudeau has faked his vax shot at least twice, seen on CTV how different his injections are from the majority shown by the news.
Again, this is a theory and it's a tinfoil hat theory, but I totally am with you on that.
Like, you can't because half the time politicians get their jabs, you don't actually see a needle go inside.
I would be very shocked if he's actually injecting his kids or his family.
For sure.
I am hard pressed to believe any public figure really, like in the mainstream media or any government official has actually taken the vaccine.
Like, I don't know for sure.
Why would they?
Yeah, exactly.
Like, they know.
I don't know for sure, obviously.
Oh, there's the video.
Nice tattoo and a little cultural appropriation for it.
I know he loves that.
That's his jam.
Oh, for sure.
Look at him.
He's so proud of himself.
He's like flexing a little.
He's like, look.
Yeah, he is.
I still got it.
I still got it, you guys.
You know, he's not bad looking, but.
Yeah.
No.
He looks like my ex-boyfriend.
Are they gonna...
That actually...
Ooh.
But they didn't.
Saline.
They didn't do the, like, the saline.
Are you supposed to aerate it or whatever?
Like, you're supposed to put it in and then suck it out to make sure that you haven't hit a vein.
I have not read it.
I'm not.
That's a thing.
It's a thing.
I believe you, but I honestly think if you do see the needle go in, it's probably saline.
Yeah.
Do we think so?
Sugar, yeah.
Like for sure.
No.
There's no way.
It's just like wine.
Yeah.
Give me one of those.
Yeah.
This is from Aqua Skies3636.
Thank you for your dollar.
Did you see the three Canadian nurses suing the Canadian Nurses Association for libel?
Thank you to you both.
I did read that on the news.
Was it on our news?
I don't know if it was our news.
We should know because we worked.
I'm sure we have some.
I think I saw it on Twitter, but yes, I did read that.
That's very exciting news.
It's good to see people fighting back against the crap for sure.
The more medical professionals that speak out, the less likely you are to get like whack-a-mold when you come up individually.
It has to happen as it is.
It has to be.
So even three is better than none.
So thank you, nurses.
Yes.
Okay, which one?
This guy.
Quisdell?
Quisdell?
I'm so sorry.
Quisdell?
Quisdell?
$2.
Thank you.
Unfortunately, I think it's the end of the pandemic language from governments and supernatural.
Supernatural national.
Supranational, supranational?
I don't know that word.
Organizations like the Who may just be a distraction.
That is, you know, not impossible or unlikely.
I'm going to try and remain positive.
I'm out of my doom pill cycle right now.
So I'm like.
Last week was a doom cycle.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
I just bounce back.
It's like a period.
Yeah.
Andrew's challenge.
I'm so sorry, guys.
I'm so sorry, guys.
We admitted that women have biological functions.
But men can have them too.
So it's fine.
Yeah.
But I agree.
I mean, no, I hear what you're saying, but I'm hoping that we're actually moving into a beautiful new era of this terrible pandemic and that things are actually changing.
So I'm going to go with that.
But God willing.
You could be absolutely right.
Oh, this is from Andrew Says.
Thank you for your dollar, Andrew.
He's our hugest supporter.
Sorry about talking about menstruation.
I'm so sorry.
He said, What is the name of the bluegrass folk rock group that is hosting today's show?
We're called.
Oh, good.
Yeah.
I don't know.
We don't have a name.
Tambourine.
If you'd like to donate another dollar, we'd take your suggestion.
Yeah, if you have a name in mind, Andrew.
There's Andrew.
Andrew Chapin.
There he is, guys.
Follow him.
He's Andrew Chapin.
He's in the room right over there.
You can probably hear us right now.
Hi, Andrew.
Hi, Andrew.
Don't eat my lunch.
Perfect.
Oh, here's another one for $5 from Horse Ed 2003.
Good work, ladies.
I like the light sarcasm.
What are you talking about?
Sarcasm, huh?
It's like, he's like, that's too much.
I don't like it anymore.
He said light.
Thank you for your donation.
This is a suggestion as well as a donation.
We will take that into consideration.
Yes.
Light.
Keep it light.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Should we, do you want us to keep going?
Yeah, let's do it.
All right.
Let's do it.
Here we are.
Okay.
So $3 from Alberta Separatist.
Unvaxed need to become a nation within a nation to defend themselves from the government.
Time to bring this all to a boil.
The Boston Tea Party was caused by colonists' tax without representation.
I was talking about Hamilton earlier today.
Unvaxed are taxed without medical, without the right to travel, without the right to meet, etc.
Resist now.
100%.
Wow.
100%.
Sounds like you should form a party.
We need another party.
We don't need another party.
What we do need is more people to step up.
I feel like there's so many people that agree, but are just like zip because they're scared.
And I get if you're like, you bring home the bacon for your family and you have children and you have, and we all have bills to pay.
But just doing your job and going along with it is not getting us out of this anytime soon.
So like we need to stand up and yes, enough is enough.
Yeah.
No, thank you for your donation.
Yes, thank you.
All right, we've got two more for y'all if you're still tuning in.
Thank you for sticking around this long.
From AMT60 for $1, thank you for your dollar.
People need to get this info out.
I follow Pat King on Facebook and he said there will be a Canada-wide trucker slow rollout on January 23rd and to let all the truckers know, blocking the highways against the government.
I think that may be more pertinent before we had the walk back of the vaccine mandate.
Because yes, I saw that on Twitter as well, which is why I had my Amazon order packed bills.
But it might be good news and that might not be necessary.
So, you know, I'm not a trucker.
I don't know.
Yeah.
But I'll ask my dad.
Yes, please do.
I'll keep you posted.
It's unfortunate and it's inconvenient for us to not get our stuff.
But at the same time, they're standing up for their rights.
So do what you need to do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Within the confines of the law, yeah.
Don't do anything illegal, yeah, ever.
Okay, last one.
Here we go: Yorgi Yorgi, one dollar.
Thank you.
Hey, guys, is David's men?
Is David Menzies all right?
Hope all is okay with him.
David Menzies is just taking a little time off.
We are excited for him to return.
And I was texting him with him the other day, so he's all right.
Thank you for your consideration.
We all love David Menzies.
We love David Menzies.
He's a national treasure.
I am asking.
He works too hard.
The man needs some time off.
He needs a break.
He literally works like, well, I think probably six days a week for the last year.
He's worked.
So, no.
We love him and we're going to welcome him back.
But he's taking some time off right now.
Absolutely.
I mean, I am his number one fan.
Yes.
So, yes.
I think he's our number one.
That's my Twitter.
If you want to follow me, David Menzies' number one fan.
That's I have his autograph at my desk, which I don't stare at.
I dressed up as him for Halloween.
That's true.
She did.
She looked identical to him.
Yeah.
So people were like, David, you look amazing.
Yeah, the voice was a little off, but otherwise, like, she, you couldn't, if they were standing next to each other, you wouldn't be able to tell him apart.
Okay.
We digress.
Okay.
Is this it?
I think this is it.
Guys, we made it.
We made it.
I'm so warm under this jacket and these lights.
So I'm going to take off this leather coat.
Yeah.
Thank you for joining us.
Do we know who's hosting tomorrow?
Oh, yes.
Isn't it?
We don't.
Oh, we don't.
We don't.
You know what?
Surprise.
Surprise.
I don't know anything.
I just keep spreading misinformation.
Ignore me.
That's your nickname.
Yeah.
Misinformation.
Thank you so much for joining us, you guys.
Tomorrow at 12 Eastern, we will have another live stream for you.
It won't be us, so we apologize for that.
Yeah, but it's been great.
Maybe you'll see us next week.
Maybe, maybe.
All right.
Love you.
God bless.
Bye.
You cannot arrest her.
Are you reaching the car?
Please take it off.
Are you arresting her?
Because it was hard to call me 8,000 degrees, and there's some kind of offense.
I was in there, I just did his final choice.
She was in there.
She refused to show us.
She wasn't there.
I'm happy to show you my information.
You don't know that.
What are you doing?
Why are you pulling that back on her?
Leave her alone, leave her alone, I hope you guys are happy with yourselves.
You pay my tax.
You pay my wages.
I'm happy to provide the night and train.
Why is she under arrest?
Why is she under arrest?
Why Can't You Arrest Me?00:00:58
You cannot pay for the uniform.
You cannot arrest her.
You can't arrest me.
You have to arrest me.
This is ridiculous.
What a fuck country we live in now.
We are in complete back, Mike.
You guys are filth.
Sorry.
Sorry, we're what?
Filth.
That's that's filth.
That is so hard.
How could you do that to that lady?
How could you do that to that lady?
Where were you guys when we got broken into four times?
I wish there was that many people who would come in.
Oh, great day for you guys.
We got to sympathize with the blue uniform from now on.
