Kat Krasanowski and Dakota critique Ontario’s January 31st reopening plan, where vaccine passports and masks persist despite election-year promises, while linking mandates to food shortages—12K–16K truckers risk layoffs, disrupting 90% of Toronto’s supply. They mock the WEF’s "Great Reset" and praise Maxime Bernier’s January 22nd rally, aligning with Zuby Music’s claim that COVID narratives are crumbling globally. Rebel News shifts focus to convoy coverage amid accusations of media complicity, framing dissent as a fight against systemic control over education, health, and even basic survival. [Automatically generated summary]
My name is Dakota Christensen coming at you with a freshly shaven head.
No hair, looking fresh.
I'm joined by the one and only Kat Krasanowski.
I have some hair.
Indeed, you do.
We have the range of hair news today.
Exactly.
Exactly.
We have a host of exciting headlines to get at you about today.
For those of you who are new to this, we talk about the news of the day.
We help fill you in.
We give you our reactions and commentary, all of that good stuff.
We are streaming currently on YouTube, Rumble, Odyssey, and Super U.
But soon enough, we will have to be going off of YouTube.
So be warned for those of you who have joined us on YouTube.
Once we get to some spicier topics.
The spicy stuff.
That, you know, the arbiters of truth over YouTube don't like us talking about.
We're going to have to switch over to speak honestly.
Some of the good stuff, really.
Exactly.
Exactly.
But until then, we are with you on YouTube.
Whole bunch of stuff today.
But, you know, how are you doing so far today, Katherine?
How are you feeling?
I'm really good.
I feel happy.
Yeah.
You know what?
Which is so weird.
Like, I like the chart you posted on Twitter the other day, the rotation of the going forward.
Maybe we can bring that up later.
I made a meme yesterday.
We can't.
Okay.
Well, we'll send it to.
We'll do it on the other side.
We'll pull it up at some point.
It's on your Twitter.
But it's basically this life cycle of being pilled.
So it starts with the red pill.
You're like, yeah, we can defeat communism if we band together.
And then there's the black pill or doom pill that you taught me about actually on our last live stream, which is like, oh, you know, they're going to encamp us all and we're going to have nothing and be happy.
And then there's the clown pill where you're like, lols.
Yeah.
I don't care.
Whatever.
You know, depending which stage you're at, where you're like, yeah, you know what?
Let's go.
Freedom's going to win.
I'm like between clown pill and red pill right now.
Honestly.
Lols, whatever.
It's cool.
I'm in almost a perpetual state of clown pill before.
I'm like, ah, you know what?
I will see.
Enjoying the show.
Sometimes very serious moments, like a little black pill.
But for the most part, you know, we're having a good time.
At the root of it, though, red-pilled, ready to bring it up.
Yeah, we have to stay positive.
Staying positive, guys.
And there seems to be some exciting stuff going on to be exciting.
And none more exciting than our first topic, which is the Twitter NFT profile pictures.
So Dakota and I are like the worst people to discuss this topic because neither of us really understand NFTs.
To a degree.
I think I know a little more than you would.
Oh, that's extremely sexist.
Says the person who before we came on here said, I know absolutely nothing about NFTs.
No, you're right.
It's true.
It's based in fact.
My understanding of an NFT is that you own like a little picture, right?
And your ownership is stored on the blockchain.
I don't understand what that is either.
But basically, Twitter has now allowed certain profiles.
I guess you have to buy it.
So your profile picture becomes an NFT, which is owned by you on the blockchain.
Dakota, why would I want to do that?
Why would I want to have an NFT profile picture?
It is honestly just a big trend at this point.
NFTs only have value because of the blockchain, like you say, where you can say, oh, I'm the one who really owns the original image here.
But I mean, if you're been on the internet, you can see all sorts of memes, people making fun of it, saying, ah, you know what?
Oh, no.
I took a screenshot of your NFT.
What are you going to do?
Yeah, exactly.
It's like, no, you're not allowed to do that.
Yeah, that's my question.
Like, what would stop someone from just taking a screenshot of my profile picture, which is my face, and being like, this is mine now?
And they'd be like, well, it's not your face.
Nothing because you can go ahead and do that, but it's just a copy because proof of ownership says the original is, yeah, in the blockchain.
So there are people who are diehard like, yeah, NFTs, you know, they really have value.
Quit making fun of it.
Other people are just laughing.
You know what?
I can understand it.
It's, you know, the people who compared to like, you know, collecting baseball cards and the like and saying, oh, I have an original.
Right.
And it's like, oh, I have one too.
And it's like, that's fake.
It's not your original.
Yeah, you could photocopy it or make a fake that looks identical, but it's still not the real one that's authenticated.
You know, well, there we go.
What's an NFT?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Digital world now.
What is an NFT profile like short, non-fungible?
Is that fungible?
Fungible.
Fungible.
You can't trade fungi.
Yeah, not fungible as in like a fungible token.
Like, for example, Bitcoin, you can exchange Bitcoin at a set rate for other currencies.
Okay, right.
So you cannot exchange it.
Yeah, an NFT is like, it's a unique token, essentially.
But could I sell you my NFT?
You can sell it, but it's not exchangeable at a fixed rate.
For example, let's say you have a baseball card, right?
You could sell that for however much someone's willing to buy that baseball card, but it's not set at a current rate.
Like, oh, this baseball card is worth this amount of currency, worth this amount of currency.
There's no exchange rate, you know?
We can see what an example of a Twitter NFT profile picture looks like, and they're hexagonal, not circular, like the rest of us losers.
Yeah, the Twitter versions.
World Economic Forum Insights00:12:48
Yeah.
So I guess it's just another way of having like a blue check.
It's like, ooh, I have an NFT profile picture.
Like, it's an egg wearing a hat and a quill.
So it's like, that's cool, I guess.
You know, in our digital world, new level of clout.
Yeah.
Well, I don't think I'll be getting one.
Yeah, no.
I can understand the novelty of NFTs, especially originally where it's like, ooh, I have this essentially a digital painting.
It's cool.
I'm going to trade that.
It's the future of trading art.
But the whole Twitter thing, I think, has taken it a step too far.
Yeah, that's going to be a no from me, dog.
Yeah.
Well, that's fun, what the kids are doing.
Thank you for teaching me things.
Oh, 100%.
Should we talk about Ontario?
Yeah.
Ontario.
Those of us here.
Something, something, right?
Good things grow in Ontario.
That's the only jingle I know.
Yeah, good old Douglas.
It's closed for business.
But open for business at 50% capacity in indoor venues starting on January 31st, which is amazing because I still can't go out anywhere, but some people can.
And like for me, yes, it sucks because I don't have a vax pass and I can't go, but some people can go.
And it's better for the world, I think, that we do this.
Yeah, it is better.
It's a step in the right direction.
But I mean, I've been predicting this forever because in Ontario, we have our provincial elections coming up in June.
And as the narrative begins to crumble more and people become more fed up with all of the restrictions currently, old Dougie wants to look good.
He wants to be the one to say, guys, it worked.
Time to open up.
We saved you just in time for the spring election so that you can say, you know what, look what the great job I did moving forward to a bright future.
Vote for me again.
And don't worry, guys, because the Liberals will come in and make everything so much better, right?
They're going to open up all the stores and restaurants and drop the mandates and restrictions, right, guys?
Yeah, you know it.
And it's funny on Ontario provincial politics because like at this point, the Liberal Party in the last election was absolutely decimated.
And what's funny is now, like one of us here mentioned, like, do any of you, and remember, this is a news media company.
We're very involved in politics.
But we were asked, you know, can any of you actually name the current leader of the Ontario Liberal Party?
And like 90% of us are like, actually, no.
I know these now because of, you know, this job and talking about him.
But outside of having this work, no.
Why would anyone know that?
I feel like more people know, yeah, Stephen Dale.
He looks a little bit like Dr. Evil with glasses.
Yeah.
You know, I'm ashamed to look a little more like him now.
You just need Mr. Bigglesworth.
Yeah, it's true.
But I feel like more people, like Andrea Horvath, the NDP leader, has more name recognition than he does.
So, I mean, it's my feeling that Doug Ford is going to win re-election.
Really?
That's what I expect.
I mean, in the polls right now, he's already nine points ahead.
Like, the most recent poll I saw.
Wow.
And that was after he's out there shoveling snow in the middle of our wild winter stuff.
He's so easily swayed by just a little maneuver like that.
Yeah.
Go, folks.
I'm helping people get their cars out.
Doug for the people.
I mean, that's what got him elected in the first place.
Was this whole kind of, you know, I'm here for the people.
You know, those elites want to push you down.
I'm here to bring the people up, going full populist.
But of course, when push came to shove, old Dougie was locking you down.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
I wonder if it would have been worse in terms of lockdown restrictions if the liberals have been in power for throughout the pandemic in Ontario.
I honestly don't think it would make any difference as far as if any of the main establishment parties were in charge.
I mean, it's pretty bad here.
Yeah.
And we see across the country, no matter who's in charge in which province, no matter what sort of government, they've all been towing the same line with all the restrictions.
So I think it would make you or someone, I think it was actually Maurizio who works here.
And it was like, at least the liberals will just tell you the horrible things they're going to do to you right to your face.
Yeah.
But the Doug Ford and Jason Kenney, I'm just so sick of the no, no, we're not going to do that.
We're not going to do that.
And then doing it.
Like, just don't lie to my face.
Just tell me how terrible things are going to be so I can prepare.
Yeah, if you're going to be a tyrant, at least be honest about it.
You know, we see these other world leaders.
We see Justin Trudeau.
We see Jacinda Ardern in New Zealand.
We see others.
And they're just straight up.
You know what?
Like what comes to mind is a clip from Jacinda Ardern talking about vaccine passport.
And he says, no, yep, that's what we're doing.
We're creating a split society.
We're creating second-class citizens.
We're taking away your rights.
If you want freedom, get your booster.
That is what it is.
And I'm like, you know what?
I despise you, Jacinda, but thanks for your honesty.
You know?
Yes.
I agree.
Let's keep the lying to a minimum.
Can we, people?
The bottom line news here is, though, coming back to what we're talking about, Ontario has announced a reopening plan, which is funny.
It's basically the same date that they had originally said they're going to be done with vaccine passports and masks altogether, is when they plan to have things opened back up with the camera.
Yes, and nowhere on the list, I think the last date is like March, something, March 15th, maybe, where full capacity at indoor venues, et cetera, but still a vaccine passport.
Yeah.
So it's like, and mask mandates.
So in no way in their plan is it like clear when we are going to have no vaccine pass or mask mandates.
Yeah.
Which is completely different than their previous plan where they promised by January, no more vaccine passport by March, no more masks back to the past.
I never believed that.
Yeah, exactly.
We're essentially back to where we were before this most recent kind of reversal of opening up.
So we're having fun.
We're, you know, yeah, perpetual lockdowns forever.
We just got to get a goat farm, you know, and just give up on society.
Honestly, it sounds good to me.
I would love to see that.
I think we have a period.
What's next?
We have this new system where we can see what's coming up next, and I'm trying to use that.
But no, I think we can't rely too much.
But anyway, I think that kind of covers onto any other kind of news relating to that Ontario lockdowns.
That's kind of the bottom line.
No, just go to your local, like anyone who's vaccinated, please go to restaurants and support your local establishments because these people are when, like, I know some people in a small town that are restaurant owners, and I saw them a couple of weeks ago before the last lockdown was announced, and they were crying, sobbing, real tears that they're like, we're done.
We have we're in debt from the last lockdown and to being takeout only and then oh, vaccine pass only, and they're like struggling to survive.
Restaurants already have razor-thin profit margins.
They were like devastated.
So, I'm so let's go out and support them as much as we can.
People who are unvaccinated, order takeout.
I know, yeah, I've never said, like, order takeout, it's good for the economy.
But yeah, no, restaurants, all small businesses right now are being absolutely destroyed.
So, shop over guys, support your businesses, and uh, you know, I would say do what we can to get these mandates out.
I don't want to go too sketchy far for YouTube because they're going to strike me down for encouraging rebellion.
But next big news, speaking of protests against mandates and all of that, I believe next up, we're going to be talking about the truckers.
Is that next up on the list here?
I don't have a list in front of me.
Unfortunately, I'm relying on you for this, Kathy.
I think we wanted to talk about the Stephen DeLuca, the leader of the Ontario Liberal Provincial Party, who no, we're not going to talk about that.
No, we're going to talk about that later.
That's my bad.
We'll talk about it later.
But he's saying some stuff about some things.
Do we want to talk about the truckers or can we show a promo for our nope?
Okay.
Not on the ball today.
We have a lot going on in the studio today.
So our store, our story, the live stream is going to be a little shorter than usual because there's so much going on here.
Upgrades and guests and shows and new shows coming out that we're not talking about yet, but we're going to please.
Okay, let's talk about the World Economic Forum because this is some crazy stuff.
Okay.
Are we allowed to talk about this on YouTube?
We're going to do it.
Let's tread lightly.
Let's do it.
The World Economic Forum is very out there and they're an official organization out in the world.
They're here.
They're very open with all their stuff.
So, you know what?
I'm sure YouTube loves them.
Why not talk about them?
So, okay.
So, the conspiracy theory of the Great Reset has been something that has been talked about for a long time in certain circles.
And now the World Economic Forum is coming straight out and saying, yep, we're planning a great reset.
It's going to be about climate and equity and equality and yada, yada, yada nonsense.
A sustainability plan proposed by the World Economic Forum is not a secret plot to end private property or create a totalitarian state.
So I trust that.
Let's talk about, what's his name?
Klaus Schwab.
So this guy is what, the leader of the World Economic Forum or some.
I think he's the leader.
Yeah.
We're going to go with that.
He said a couple, when was it?
I don't know exactly when he said it, but guys.
He's been saying studies.
Yeah, so there's that quote that we are all very aware of.
He said, by 2030, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
So that kind of directly contradicts the fact checking by the World Economic Forum themselves saying, oh, no, the Great Reset isn't about taking away your private property and entering a totalitarian state.
But then the leader of the World Economic Forum, Klaus here, has said exactly that.
You will own nothing and you will be happy.
I mean, he wrote a book on this titled The Great Reset.
I mean, this is an officially publicized book by Klaus Schwab.
We should have the book with us.
We don't have a copy, but I think someone else should do that on the live stream.
Just like go through the book and be like, here's where they say they're going to take away your property.
Writer Dave with me in the newsroom.
He has a copy of it.
I believe he does.
He should come on and be like a guest.
Bring him on time.
Story time with Dave reading The Great Reset.
But yeah, I mean, it's right there.
It's titled The Great Reset, and it is, you know, supposedly the plan for an equitable recovery from COVID-19, this, you know, terrible stuff happening to our company.
But don't worry, it's not totalitarianism.
It's not totalitarian at all.
I would be very shocked if a totalitarian, like authoritarian regime ever said, hey, we're bringing in authoritarianism.
Like, they don't do that.
They lie.
They lie.
They say everything's going to be great.
It's going to be peachy.
You're going to have so much freedom and health and this and that.
But no, communism.
Well, I feel like they're kind of hiding this in plain sight.
It's like, oh, no, this isn't a conspiracy theory.
Look, it's official.
It's right there.
It's the title of my book.
It's the official title of our recovery plan for COVID-19.
Sure, by 2030, you'll own nothing and be happy.
You'll be eating bugs and doing your laundry once every two weeks and all their other wonderful plans.
There's still more than some people.
Yeah, whatever.
Whatever their plans are.
You'll have laundry credits and a designated laundry time.
But of course, because they're being so open and public about it, it's not a conspiracy theory, guys.
It's a very commonplace thing that you just accept is going to happen.
And these, you know, sort of globalist planners, they're planning your future and you are going to accept it.
And you will like it.
You will like it.
You will own nothing and be happy, guys.
This is the part that people forget.
You're going to be happy.
Don't even worry about it.
That would be great.
Just trust.
You just got to trust them, right?
So, Dakota, why do you think they didn't just change the name of it?
Is it like what you just said where it's like hiding in plain sight?
Because I'm like, why don't they just change it to like the recovery plan?
Why call it the great reset when we have been, you know, conspiracy theorists have been using that term for years?
Like, I feel like Alex Jones has been talking about that for like 10 years.
Yeah, honestly, I feel like that's what it is.
It's like you can literally get the mob behind it saying, you know what, this great reset thing, this is good.
It's like critical race theory.
Yeah, you know what?
It's like, you know what?
Let's go.
Let's reset.
Let's create this new world order and we're all going to love it.
Well, you know, I like owning certain things.
I don't have a lot, but I have a car and I enjoy that.
And I don't want them to come and take that from me because how will I get to work?
I will say property ownership is sort of a fundamental tenet of Western civilizations.
What a toxic male.
Without that, we would not exist as we do as a society.
So just going to put that out there.
It's kind of essential.
You know, in the United States, you know, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, that originally was life, liberty, property were the three tenets, and they kind of changed it.
I forget the exact reason why.
I guess it sounds a little punchier.
Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness.
But apparently you're going to own nothing and be happy.
So, but, you know, just a bunch, just fun little thing to remember that our political system, our society as a whole, is based fundamentally on property ownership.
That's how an economy can function.
I own something.
I trade it with you.
Well, imagine if there were no property laws and I have something, like a nice car, and you don't because you're scum, but you're stronger than me.
You could just take that from me, right?
And the government's not yours.
I'm sorry.
Right.
And who has the most power and the guns is the government.
So really they can just come and take it.
In this world order, the government owns everything and you are just the humble citizen who borrows from the government for all of your needs.
Thanks, government.
If you step out of line, you don't get anything.
Thanks for letting me go outside today, government.
Sad Reality00:07:05
Remember in the summer they told us not to?
Oh, yeah.
With the stay-at-home order?
That was a thing.
Okay, moving on.
Moving on.
Yeah.
What should we talk about?
Here's the late.
The Edelman survey showed us that the good news is the elite across the world trust each other more and more.
So we can come together and design and do beautiful things together.
The bad news is that in every single country they were polling, the majority of people trusted that elite less.
So we can leave at Davos a few years ago.
She's right.
You would have thought they trusted the elite less.
Oh, no.
It's like these elites being like, why don't they trust us?
It's such a good thing.
We're all getting along so well.
So if only the plebs below us trusted us to control their lives.
Are they indoors at an indoor venue?
Like, it's just so funny because they're like going, get gathering with each other and meeting each other.
And it's important to have these meetings face to face.
But like kids, I mean, thank goodness, kids are now back in school for now in Ontario.
But we're all supposed to be locked down.
Stay at home if you can, reduce travel, reduce your contacts.
But these people are like, no, we're going to have a meeting about talking about how elite we are and how nobody trusts us.
Why could that be?
Well, on a note on that, of school being back in person, I'm just thinking now, my sister-in-law was just sharing on social media her experiences with her kids, my nieces and nephews going back to school here in Ontario.
Absolutely atrocious.
Apparently, they have to sit there, like masks on.
They're not allowed to talk to their classmates while they're inside.
They're forced to sit there, stare, like during their nutrition breaks, as they call them.
They're not allowed to talk with anyone.
They have to sit there in a corner, eat their food, mask back on, sit silently.
Like they're just divided.
And the only time they actually get to see anyone or do anything is being outside, like before and after school.
That's it.
That's messed up.
I was talking to my mother about this, and I was like, if I was in school today, like in elementary school, I would be failing out.
I would be just a mess.
School for me was all about clubs and sports and friends.
And that doesn't bode well for my academic career, but I ain't a lawyer.
But I would have fallen so far behind.
I would have been a freaking mess.
And I feel so bad for because some kids do really well with just learning the facts.
Just sit there, learn, read this, regurgitate.
You're a genius.
That's fine.
But some of us learn in different ways.
And there are no avenues for a kid like I was to express their, you know, enthusiasm and creativity and present stuff and interact.
Like it's, we're going to have a whole colony of little sad psychos.
Yeah, no, well, we were talking about this on a past live stream.
There is in BC, like you know, the grade 10 literacy test that you do?
Yeah.
Like they were showing the results of that.
First of all, most students weren't even completing these tests over this past year, but it was crazy.
I think it was something along the lines of only 75% of people who did take the test actually passed it.
So that's only 75% of high schoolers in BC were considered literate.
And for a numeracy test at the same level, only 40% were passing this.
So I guess, like, you know.
I don't think they had the numeracy test when I was in school.
I don't think I would have passed that.
In Ontario, that's in grade 9, I think.
It's like the grade 1000.
They definitely did not pay.
I don't know how I did that one.
Maybe it wasn't called the numeracy.
No, it's like the EQAO math test or whatever.
But anyway, we're screwing ourselves over in school with children, bottom line.
Kids of the future, but we don't care about them.
It's funny because this whole thing was the whole pandemic and the lockdowns was all to protect the elderly and the children who are, you know, not super susceptible to COVID, but to protect them from the negative effects of having this disease rampant.
Their parents are getting sick, teachers are getting sick, but now we're just like, screw the old people, screw the kids.
Like, when are we going to start caring about the people whom we're supposed to be protecting through this whole initiative of lockdown restrictions?
Like, especially with vax passes going to, this was, you know, kind of old news, but going to QR code only.
I saw some people on Twitter reacting to the reopening announcements, and they're like, yeah, but when are you going to prevent restaurants from accepting paper vax passes?
And it's like, so old people, how many grandmas do you know who have smartphones?
Yeah.
Like maybe we know some grandmas who can use the internet.
Like my grandpa, before he passed away, could use Google and email.
That was pretty cool.
But like smartphones with apps, I had to teach my dad just yesterday how to close apps on his iPhone.
He had every app he's ever used open on his iPhone.
He's like, oh, my battery drains so quickly.
I'm like, yeah.
So how many grandmas are able to get their QR code and go into a restaurant?
And it's just so sad.
Yeah, no, it's really sad to see.
Kids and old people are the people that poor people.
Yeah, I see.
And single people.
We got a clip here relating to students' health and all of that.
This is such a good clip.
Yeah.
Students, that our own mental health is much less important than making triple vaccinated adults feel safe.
Thank you for teaching me that even the most minute risk is not worth taking.
Life is best when you take the path of least resistance with no chance of failure and definitely no chance of catching a cold.
Thank you for not reaching out to the students to ask how we feel about masks because if you did, the majority of students would say that they hate masks and then you might second guess your decision to make us wear them.
Thank you for allowing me to experience the anxiety associated with never seeing facial expressions.
Thank you for teaching us that we should never question authority or think critically, but instead, we should follow whatever the people in charge tell us to do.
Obedience is best.
I realize now that thinking for yourself is overrated and not really necessary when you can just make decisions based on fear.
Thank you for pushing your irrational fears and anxieties on me because I didn't already have enough to worry about.
I realize now how easy it had it when I only had to worry about my classes, my grades, SAT, and getting into college.
Thank you for teaching me that being a morally superior person only requires that I cover my face for eight hours a day.
And that the most morally superior people wear two masks or even three masks.
As you know, states around us, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, and Minnesota, which have two and a half times more students than Illinois, don't force cats, don't force kids to wear to masks.
I'm with you, though.
These states are out of control, recklessly putting kids at risk of misery and death every day.
Masks work, even if these states have the same outcomes as Illinois.
Speaking of data, thank you for staying silent about masking, despite the fact that COVID has a very high survival rate in kids my age.
Who needs data anyway, though?
We all know that it will never be safe to see anyone's face ever again.
Throwing down some fire.
Covering Trucker Mandates00:13:28
The heck what?
Throwing down some fire.
Oh, yeah.
My God, she's so cool.
Like you could see that she was breathing a little heavy because she's in a room full of teachers and bureaucrats who are sitting behind her, just snarling behind their little cloth faces.
Oh, she has so much integrity, that girl.
Yeah, no, that was incredible.
And she hit the nail on the head with everything she'd be saying there.
Like, they're just, this whole generation is essentially screwed.
And they've just been teaching them all, you know what?
Just sit down, shut up, comply, don't question, cover your face, and you know, don't even bother looking at the data or questioning anything for yourself because we know what's best.
Trust us or else.
Just gonna raise a bunch of little authoritarians.
This girl's like, no, how about that?
She was so cool.
Speaking of people saying no, truckers?
Truckers.
Now's the time is our headline moment talking about the truckers.
Honestly, Catherine, I have gotten about 100 messages over the last couple days asking, why hasn't Rebel News been covering these truckers, this big trucker protest, what's going on?
And I know we've mentioned it, kind of, you know, I think we mentioned on live streams, we've tweeted about this and social and stuff, but we haven't done too much to cover it in depth yet.
So literally this morning, I'm like, that's it.
I'm getting all the information I can.
I'm writing an article on this.
So I wrote up a quick article on this this morning.
There is this, essentially, I call it the Freedom Convoy 2022 in protest of a federal vaccine mandate that is coming to, that came into effect for truckers for Canada already on the 15th, and the one for the U.S. coming into effect on the 22nd.
That's tomorrow.
And essentially, all of these truckers from all across Canada are driving across the country.
The first ones leave tomorrow from BC.
There are others coming from the East Coast and from Southern Ontario, all planning to meet in the nation's capital in Ottawa for a massive protest on the 29th.
That's going to cause some traffic in Ottawa.
Yeah, yeah.
So they basically having these huge convoys coming from all over the country.
They're gathering.
And what's crazy is seeing the amount of support these people are getting.
Someone set up a GoFundMe page for this just to cover the truck.
I checked it just before we checked.
Just the food and their lodging and all of that.
Nearly a million dollars is coming up on right now.
Yeah, $923,000.
And it's going up as we speak.
It's absolutely crazy to see.
So many people are really invested in this.
And I think it's really fascinating to see all of these truckers kind of come together and say enough.
I think people are like, uh, truckers.
It's like, no, no, no.
When you remind them, it's like, that's where your Amazon stuff comes from.
Idiot.
Like, everything.
We are so reliant.
It comes from truckers.
It's crazy.
And we've already, because of this vaccine mandate and other issues with the supply chain, we've already been seeing crazy shortages all across the country, especially like in the produce stuff.
So many grocery store shelves.
And the price empty has already gone up.
Yeah, it's jacking up prices.
We're having food shortages and delays and everything.
People will start to care when they can't get the things they want to get, which we've already been seeing.
It just keeps getting worse and worse now.
I think I mentioned the article there.
I forget the exact figures.
I think it was like between 6 and 12,000 is what the Canadian Trucking Federation estimated will be the number of truckers laid off in Canada because of this vaccine mandate.
That's insane for a supply chain that's already.
12,000, up to 12,000 individual truckers.
Yeah, double check on the article there.
Devil chain trucking alliance.
Yeah.
Oh, 12,000 to 16, 12,000 is the bottom line.
16,000.
That's where I got the six in my head from.
So, yeah.
Can you imagine?
Like, we're already struggling even before this vaccine mandate was considered.
We already had a struggling supply chain and we're seeing issues.
Now, when they add this on top of it for all across U.S. and Canada, we're seeing that.
It's going to be a nightmare.
I'm going to have to start making my own lip gloss just out of like beets and clay.
You know what?
Just, you know, you're going to have to start slaying your pets to harvest their organs.
Oh, Dakota.
You got to survive.
Oh, no.
When you're stuck at home and you got no other food, if you're not going to be able to do it, you already have live stocks.
No, no, no, no.
We won't be doing that to poor Beatrice.
How dare you, knowing my dog?
How could you say that to me?
I'm sorry, you know, when a man's got to survive.
No, I'd rather die.
Yeah, that's fair.
That's fair.
That's a principled stance to take.
I respect it.
Yeah, so that's, we, I think, is it safe to say we support the Truckers Initiative?
I don't know about speaking for you.
You know what?
Rebel News is not going to make that statement, but Catherine will.
I support it.
Catherine supports it.
I mean, we do love freedom.
We are anti-state.
And we will have a man on the ground stay tuned to actually covering the truckers convoy that moves across Canada.
I'm not like literally following the convoy as it moves.
So stay tuned for that.
Campaign will be launched later today, I believe.
But just a little teaser for you there.
We will have coverage on the ground of this whole convoy.
Where aren't we?
Where aren't we?
We're all over the place.
But stay registered because, like I was saying, I got so many messages saying, why isn't Rebel News covering this?
Like, don't worry.
The convoy hasn't even left yet.
We will be covering it on the ground.
We're going to be trying to get interviews.
Huge news.
The International Post is talking about it.
Yeah, exactly.
It's getting a lot of attention.
It's a conservative newspaper.
Yeah, exactly.
There we go.
And they didn't even make it like, they didn't even make fun of it.
Yeah.
They were just like, here's something that's happening.
It's like, thank you.
You don't need to put a weird spin on it.
Yeah.
No, and I feel like so many people are so invested in this.
I feel like a lot of people are putting a lot of hope into this because I feel like we're really reaching a boiling point for so many people.
And now starting to see like literal tangible effects for people, like empty shelves, not being able to get things.
And like, you know, you try to go to Tim Hortons and say, oh, sorry, we don't have this product because it didn't show up on our.
It's a baby and you need baby diapers.
Yeah.
Like so many things.
Like it's really hitting home for a lot of people, the tangible effects of these mandates.
Because normally, you know, you sit at home and, oh, this person got fired from their job because of mandate.
Oh, so what?
At least I have my.
Exactly.
So many people can work online and then they order their Uber Eats and they have Netflix and they're like, well, I can't socialize, but I'm anti-social anyways.
I'm an introvert.
So it's like your life has not been affected in any way.
Oh, I've heard about people getting sick.
Pretty scary.
But this is going to make them wake up.
I hope.
Exactly.
Wake up, people.
See here.
Yeah.
So they're driving along there.
I got signs there.
There were a few other protests along the border happening over the past few days, I think, in regard to this mandate as well.
So this isn't the first thing.
This, you know, this big convoy is sort of the big event, but there have been other protests too, like slow-driving trucks and others and people speaking out and some videos coming out of truckers as they go through the border, like unvaccinated truckers going through and kind of saying, no, I'm not going to show you my proof of vaccination.
What are you going to do?
It's been interesting to see the effects of this.
I look forward to watching it and I wish them the best of luck.
Yeah.
Shout out to all our truckers out there because, even beyond talking any COVID stuff, any mandates, like people always say, you know, the truckers, we got to remember how reliant we are on our supply chains and how literally commercial transport trucks move the world.
Anything we have or need comes through trucks and trains and on ships, and trucks are kind of the main ground point of that.
Without them, you don't have food in the stores or anything on the shelves or anything being delivered to your home.
Yeah, like if you live in a city, like do you live in the city?
I live kind of just outside.
Okay, so if you basically live in, I don't know about the GTA, but if you live in Toronto or any major city, it is probably true that there is not enough food produced, grown in your city to actually sustain you.
So everything that we eat, 90% of it's being brought in by trucks.
So if we don't have that, if we don't have those truckers behind us, what are we going to do?
We're going to starve.
Yeah, no, absolutely.
Living in the country, you can obviously get farm this and that.
But, you know, most people live in the city.
Grow your own stuff.
Like Sheila, Sheila Gunnery.
She's always sharing stuff.
If things get really bad, let's all just go to Sheila.
Just go to Sheila's and she has homemade farms and beef jerky.
Yeah, she's showing us, you know, she's raising livestock and growing things and jarring all sorts of goods and canning.
And she's got her stores.
You know, she's set up for, she's in apocalypse mode, I think.
I would say she lives in that state all the time.
And I think she's ready for, you know, when crap hits the fan, go to Sheila's farm.
Last, outlast the world over there.
Party at Sheila's Farm.
Oh, yes.
I think we are ready to leave YouTube.
Have we not left yet?
I know that's Mildly Spicy Show.
I think we're still on YouTube.
We're still on YouTube, but we're going to leave now.
Bye, YouTube.
We're going to be spicier on the other platforms.
Yeah, we can two minutes.
Okay, you know what?
We're going to stay for a couple seconds.
In the meantime, though, while we're here, still on YouTube, if I can throw to the RebelNewsStore.com, because as you can see, I have some quality merch on here.
And if you yourself want to get such a sweater or anything like this, brand yourself Rebel, check out RebelNewsStore.com.
You can see our codes.
I'm just going to, you know, give the codes.
You know, Dax 10, Catherine 10, 10%.
Actually, I've been changed to Cat.
Cat 10.
You know what?
It works easily.
It's much easier.
The short three-letters.
Exactly.
I'm saving you guys time so that you can spend money at the Rebel News store.
Exactly.
I love when I go out in the world and I see people with Rebels gear.
It's so great.
It's such a good feeling.
We're like, look at that.
Yeah.
And it's a cool sweater.
You know what?
If you want something more minimal, more low-key.
I like those.
You can go for that.
If you want some more out there, maximum designs.
Pretty cool.
Just so many cool things.
So many cool things for people to buy and support this network.
Because as you know, we do not get a cent from Trudeau's liberal governments, unlike pretty much every single other media platform you can find.
Yeah, we're not taking that allowance from Daddy Trudeau.
We are independent, unlike the rest of the media out there.
Well, nearly all of them.
I can count on one hand all the independent media in Canada, which is crazy.
So if you can support us, we really appreciate it.
And I think we're going to be moving over soon.
In the meantime, though, we do.
Are we done?
Are we offering you guys?
We are off YouTube.
Now we can be ourselves, Dakota.
Woo!
Yeah, now we can speak freely.
Okay, Kay, ready for this?
I do not support vaccine mandates.
I think lockdowns are bad.
What?
I can say that and knock at the band hammer coming down on me.
Wow.
I feel like you've been fired.
Well, at least from YouTube.
That's okay.
Let's talk about Maxime because actually, sorry, guys, it's Maxim.
Maxime.
We all say Maxime.
It's Maxim.
He's got an E on the end.
I know, but it's a different.
We're talking about Maxime Bernier.
Maxim Bernier is in Toronto.
He has landed in the city.
I guess he has, he didn't fly, but he has arrived.
We have a video here from him that he posted yesterday.
Hello, everybody.
I just arrived in Toronto.
Ready for the weekend.
This Saturday, I will be at Queen's Park for Freedom Rally.
And Sunday, I will be in Waterloo.
So follow us on social media.
Stay strong and free.
There he is.
Yeah.
And we ourselves are going to be covering.
This is the Worldwide Freedom Rally on Saturday.
We're going to be doing a special live stream for that, just so you know.
So we're going to be having people in Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, all across the country.
And we're going to be calling into all of them.
It's going to be really great.
So make sure to check that out.
Hello, everybody.
I just arrived.
We have a promo for our event.
Well, it's not an event.
We're just covering it.
Well, for our special live stream coverage of this mastery.
Which in itself is an event.
Yeah, it's an event in and of itself.
Hi, I'm Nat from Rebel News.
This Saturday, January 22nd, join me and our amazing UK reporter Louis Brackpool for a worldwide Freedom Rally live stream.
We'll have Rebel News reporters bringing you the other side of the story from demonstrations across the country.
So be sure to tune in and watch live this Saturday.
See you there.
Oh, there's Nat.
Very nice.
Nat is so great.
Good old man.
I love how all that footage is from the summer.
It's going to be, except for that.
That was last weekend, but it's going to be a little colder than those protests.
It's going to be a reminder: you're talking Rebel News store right there.
That fine beanie you were wearing a nice toque, Rebel Tuque last weekend.
It was warm because it was cold.
And I was so glad I had my Rebel News toque.
Yeah.
Those protests are cold.
Today, I got up this morning, got in my car.
I'm like, holy, it's cold.
It's like negative 20-something this morning.
Yeah.
Not feeling it.
I mean, I'm sure our friends over up north are welcome.
Yeah, Kelly's like, please.
Yeah, come on.
Sheila's sending us screenshots, like, ah, negative 40.
Come on.
Oh, I was almost going to move to Calgary.
And it was in the summer, and I was like, ah, cold.
What's the difference between negative 20 and negative 40, really?
But now I'm like.
It is different, though.
We do have the humidity versus the dry cold.
It's kind of different.
So you mean it's like a wet.
Yeah, because here with the humidity, like, yes, imagine like stepping out of the shower and how cold you are when you're wet or something like that.
It's like the wetness is in the air and the humidity, right?
So it is great for body.
But it's true.
But it's terrible for your frozen bones.
In the summertime, I'd love the humidity in person.
People complain about it so much.
You can't see it now, but Dakota has a beautiful flow, like a nice kind of wavy curl.
Well, because people complain about, but people with nice hair, they're always like, oh, the humidity makes me all frizzy.
It just feels so comforting.
Whenever I go out to like the mountains or something and it's all dry heat and then I come back here, it's like I'm being hugged by the humidity.
I'm like, yes, I'm back cold.
I'm not either.
This is a dewy glow.
It's lovely.
It's great.
Okay.
Ooh, Zuby.
Let's talk about Zubi.
Yes.
He posted a cool.
So, do you guys know Zubi?
He's a Zuby Music.
We have had him on before.
I think Andrew had him on the show.
Zubi's Humid Insight00:11:40
He's interviewed.
He's like a musician and a life coach and just a commentator on general.
And at this point, yeah, he's essentially a conservative icon.
Commentator, activist, pro-freedom guy, super cool dude, Zuby Music on Twitter.
There he is.
Yeah, he posted this video yesterday that I think is really great.
It's sort of basically Zuby giving us all a pep talk in Canada and Australia and all these other places that are, you know, pretend to be free, but are, you know, kind of locked down authoritarian states.
So, you know, let's throw this video to Zubi because he has some great stuff to say.
What's up, homies and homets?
You know who it is.
It's your boy Zuby.
I was going to do a Twitter thread, but I figured this will work better as a quick video.
Look, listen, the COVID 1984 narrative is crumbling in all countries.
It is crumbling internationally.
You can see the goalposts shifting.
You can see people trying to get ahead of the narrative.
All these people who supported lockdowns, mandates, restrictions, etc., you're starting to see them sing a different tune in many cases.
And they are trying to act as if they've known all the things that so-called conspiracy theorists have been talking about for well over a year, two years plus in certain instances.
We have seen Reuters, Reuters, the people who do the fact checking for Twitter itself, confessing that according to U.S. studies, natural immunity is superior to vaccine-induced immunity alone the so-called Delta variant.
Something you could have been kicked off of Twitter for saying not so long ago.
We are seeing that the World Health Organization has recommended that countries all around the world drop their COVID travel restrictions.
More than that, they are saying that proof of vaccination should not be necessary.
We've seen Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the U.S. of the UK, sorry, Prime Minister of the UK dropping all restrictions for England.
All COVID restrictions, from the stupid face diapers to the work-from-home nonsense, all of it is being dropped.
All of it.
Now is the time to secure the victory, guys.
Whatever city you're in, whatever country you are in, now is the time to secure the W. Some of you are so demoralized, so cynical, so pessimistic that you've gotten so used to taking L's that you don't know how to take a W anymore.
You don't know how to take a W. I'm not saying that you forgive and you forget all of these people who have been screwing up your life for the past two years, but now is the time to secure the victory.
Okay?
So don't let your demoralization get in the way of this.
The foot is on the proverbial neck.
Now is the time to secure the victory.
So that's what I recommend you do.
God bless you all.
Thank you for writing.
If you have stayed sane through all of this, you've done very well.
Let's get that W.
I feel good about that.
You make so many great points there.
So many people.
He's just dropping facts and also uplifting you.
Yeah, it's great.
I mean, bottom line.
I mean, first of all, let's assess the point where he says the narrative is crumbling.
I think he's so right.
Like we're seeing, like we mentioned, we talked about this on, it was yesterday's live stream, I think, we had Lewis call in to talk about that, or maybe that was the day before.
All the days were together formally.
Anyways, talking about the UK dropping all their restrictions, Boris Johnson making that announcement.
That's pretty crazy news because it's huge news.
Yeah.
Big if true.
We'll see.
Yeah, you know, I mean, it seems pretty clear that this is happening.
I feel like, you know, for us in Ontario, we announced, oh, in a few months, we might be lifting the restrictions.
For them, it's like, no, next week, our date, we're doing it.
If they didn't, there would be riots in the streets and people would have a legit revolt.
But that's, I mean, that's exciting to see where they're just saying straight up, no what?
We're done.
No more masks, no more vaccine passports.
But across the world, like, I feel like so many more people are waking up and seeing all the inconsistencies and everything they're saying.
And it's really only those kind of die-hard people who still have their heads in the sand.
Which is unfortunately like Ontario.
So much of Canada, yes.
Canada is like the propaganda machine is so strong in Canada.
We love authority here.
Where, like, like we were mentioning, all the media being bought off by the government.
They're literally just parroting this government narrative, this official COVID-19 narrative.
Only what the experts, the experts say, I might add.
Well, they silence the other real experts who disagree with them.
But it's just wild to see all the world around us.
I feel like we're in this little oasis still of insanity in Canada.
Well, the rest of the world is starting to...
To not see more on.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
A little oasis of insanity.
Well, the rest of the world around us is starting to wake up.
The narrative is crumbling around us.
And the petty tyrants of Canada are trying to hold on to the people.
I was going to say they're holding on for a deal.
They're holding on and be like, nope, nope, don't step out of line.
What you see over there, that isn't real.
That isn't happening.
You're imagining it.
They're trying to gaslight us.
Misinformation.
Fact checkers say.
Meanwhile, like he said, Reuters themselves, the ones who were kind of spearheading all the official fact checks, have admitted that natural immunity is superior to vaccinated immunity, which anyone with common sense can know about.
Well, no, that's a bit of an overstatement.
Like, common sense is just like a common sense thing.
Like, I was told by medical professionals whom I trust, like Dr. Malone and Dr. McCullough, these people say that.
And I'm like, I believe them.
Yeah.
Like, well, they have data to suggest it, but I'm not like, we're not doctors.
We can't just go, oh, it's obvious.
It's not obvious.
Smart people have said it.
Yeah, it's true.
If I can correct what I was saying, maybe not common sense per se, but even just- I just came down on you really hard, sorry.
Yeah, we're good, we're good.
Even just a basic knowledge of vaccine science in terms of, okay, what is the purpose of a vaccine?
It attempts to, like, as a kid, I remember being in science class and explaining to me, essentially, we're taking like an inactive or dead version of the virus and we're injecting that little bit into you so your body can learn what it is and fight against it.
So it's like giving you the virus, but it's inactive.
It won't really hurt you like the real virus.
Right, I guess.
So if you consider that, you know, sort of the basic thing of the vaccine is just trying to imitate what would happen if you already got the virus.
Like having all of that.
So he has a virus saying that based on common logic, it should be vaccines or due.
Okay, you're right.
You know what?
It's basic logic.
You're right to go to vaccines.
Yeah.
You know, communicating.
I actually didn't, I didn't learn that in school.
Yeah.
I picked that up through, you know, adulthood.
So your school was on top of things talking about vaccine science way back in the day.
I mean, you were in elementary school like two years ago.
Shout out to, yeah, you know, look at me, a little kid.
Shout out to Miss Chaw, my grade seven science teacher in London, Ontario back in the day.
I spent grades one through eight in London, Ontario.
Oh, that's nice.
Then I moved to Cambridge just before high school.
Cambridge.
That's where my family is now.
Cambridge, Ontario.
Okay.
Well, I feel like the tides are turning.
I'm feeling very optimistic.
Let's see how people are feeling in the chats.
Yeah.
This is true because like Zubi's saying, in Canada, we can feel so demoralized.
And I feel like that's why people are so into the truckers right now.
I feel like, you know what?
People are waking up.
They're doing something tangible.
The foot is on the proverbial neck, as Zubi said, the neck of the government tyrants here.
Chats here.
Pollard, $14.95, donates $100.
Fantastic.
Thank you.
No comment, just $100 donation.
Those are my favorites.
Bless your soul.
Thank you, Pallard.
Thank you.
It's amazing.
Mike from Canada.
I'm getting that right, I think, this time.
$1.
To all who showed the middle finger to us protesters at Hamilton City Hall yesterday in their cars, will you be nicer to us if the government makes you take 20 jabs an hour to mask up just to drive?
That is not a question I can answer.
And I don't know if any of the people giving you the middle finger will be watching this stream, although they should if they want to expand their horizons.
I doubt it, though.
But I feel like that kind of speaks to the idea of, you know, what misery loves company.
You see these people who are like, you die hard by the narrative and they're miserable sitting there being forced to take boosters, locked in their homes, masked up and told, you know what, comply and you'll get out.
They're just angry at everyone else, you know, the scapegoating.
Well, they're like, I had to follow the rules.
Why don't you?
Why don't you?
Why are you so scared?
Exactly.
My life sucks, so you should be inside Loch Floyd with me too.
Oh, Keanu.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Next up here, Chalky Brush donates $25.
Thank you, Chalky Brush.
Thank you, Chalky.
The reopening plan says nothing about ending masks or vax ports, and Del Duca is already pushing for mandatory boosters.
Someone called the Clown Police because this province is a circus.
Well, Chalky Brush, I have to say I agree with you there.
Ontario has been a mess for many, many, many years and how it's been managed.
Not much has changed, honestly.
I had hopes for Doug Ford when he had his campaign for the people.
I'm like, you know what?
Maybe we could get some decent change here.
But, you know, he's a liar.
Yes.
Like many provincial governments across this country, it is a clown circus.
Clown show.
Thank you, Chalky.
The next one is from Mike from Canada.
Again, $1.
When trucks stop, food deliveries will stop.
People could starve until the trucks move again.
Let's make Trudeau personally move food to the stores and let's end his excessive taxpayer-funded vacations.
Yes.
Sounds good to me.
I don't know how we're going to do it.
If we're throwing out ideas here of what we should be doing, yes.
That sounds pretty good.
I mean, I don't like making anyone like, how would we make Trudeau personally move the food?
I love the idea.
If we could convince him to do it on his own, that would be great.
I don't think that's going to happen, but let's not make him because that sounds like totalitarianism.
Well, you know.
Let's ask him and encourage him to do so.
That's fair.
And then make him look really bad when he doesn't.
I say we kick him out of the prime minister's office and then no one else hires him.
And then he just is forced to get a job as someone moving the food and experience what the little guy does.
That's great.
That's what I say.
The free market will take care of him.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Becca Henderson donates $1.
Says, can you post a link for the clip of the student speaking up about masks and COVID to her school board?
Absolutely.
I'm sure we can get right on that.
We should have, if you go to the rebelnews.com/slash live streams, we have the actual page there on our website, and we usually have links to every video we have.
But I'm sure we can go ahead and get that posted.
We'll, you know, we'll drop that on our channels.
Producers have nothing else to do.
Yeah, exactly.
You know, or, you know, the people out there managing the website like myself.
That's kind of my primary job.
But anyways, yeah, we got to get wrapping up here.
Let's quickly go through this.
There's a couple of final more chats.
One more from Mike from two more for I'll do the first and you do the second.
Thank you, Mike, again for the dollar.
To smart students, give your Karen teacher a paper copy of the local mask bylaw and show that Karen in writing that you are exempt from wearing a mask.
Then maybe Karen will stop whining.
Yeah, you know what?
If only.
Yeah, we need smart people to stand up and use the power of their voices.
Yeah.
And finally, once again from Mike from Canada, $1.
On Sundays, eight people show up at 12 at Hamilton City Hall, but there's a few cars.
On Thursdays, three people show up and three on the street is full of cars.
Why can't more people run weekday afternoon rallies?
Honestly, you know, it's disappointing to see so few people, but it's also kind of, I find it heartwarming when I see even just a handful of people out there speaking their mindset.
And also weekdays, people are working, man.
Yeah, you know, a lot of people.
Yeah, like I go, I like to, you know, show my support, but weekdays are tough.
Yeah.
