Rebel News’ David Menzies and Sheila Gun Reed mock Canada’s political hypocrisy, starting with Christia Freeland’s deleted tweet about a far-right Ukrainian banner—later downplayed by iPolitics under pressure—while dismissing claims of Russian disinfo as "KGB smears," given her grandfather’s Nazi ties. They contrast this with Trudeau’s convoy crackdown, citing Menzies’ interactions with protesters wearing turbans to debunk white nationalist narratives. The segment pivots to Ron DeSantis’ mask-mandate defiance, where a mother’s outrage over his "COVID theater" critique highlights media double standards, while Alberta’s Peloski brothers—arrested for feeding homeless and protesting—expose civil liberties failures. Patrick Brown’s flip-flop on carbon taxes and CDC’s shaky pandemic studies underscore systemic censorship of dissent, revealing how political narratives override evidence and ethics.

You have tuned into the Rebel News live stream on this, a Thursday, March 3rd, 2022.
I'm David Menzies and my co-host, well, let me tell you about my co-host.
You know, she's sugar and spice and everything nice, but she's really heavy on the spicy side.
Let me tell you.
She is the she-devil with a sword.
She is the Khaleesi of Northern Alberta.
She is Sheila Gun Reed.
How you doing there, Sheila?
David, it never gets old.
It never gets old.
I'm running out of material, you know.
I don't think you could.
I don't think you could.
I'm doing great.
You're looking great.
I see that you have a very red, white, and blue theme going on with your shirt and tie combination, which is great because one of the things you wanted to talk about was Joe Biden stumbling and bumbling his way through the State of the Union and Nancy Pelosi sort of doing the whole Dr. Evil thing with her hands in the background.
What was that all about?
She looked like a little girl before Christmas Day, just, you know, I'll tell you, Sheila, it's kind of old news now in a sense, but that State of the Union address being about one hour long in which he said nothing new, offered no solutions to anything.
As the saying goes, it would have been twice as good if it was half as long.
I was predicting ahead of the State of the Union address that this would be the shortest State of the Union address in the history of the United States of America, which is to say Joe Biden would come up to the microphone and go, my fellow Americans, here's the State of the Union.
It's awful.
Good night.
That's it.
That's what I was expecting.
But he went on with the same old, same old, and then massacring the English language, including the, you know, comparing, sorry, not comparing, but saying that it was the Iranians in Ukraine that were the victims of the Russian war.
And I can almost see Camilla Harris, since she has her mask off for a change, mouthing the correct answers, right?
Hopefully.
Kind of like somebody in a movie cinema, Sheila leaning over and whispering in your ear.
No, no, no.
It's not Iranians.
It's Ukrainians, Joe.
I don't know of Kamala Kamala.
I don't care.
I don't know if she is upset because Joe Biden's bumbling his way through the presidency or if she thinks he's going to make it halfway through and it's my turn.
I can't tell what's going on with that woman.
Excuse me.
But I should tell everybody what we're doing here before we get too far into the show and my voice gives out.
Hang on here.
And we'll throw to a funny little 45-second clip somebody made of the Biden gaffes.
And by the way, folks, that didn't cover all of the gaffes.
There were some major ones overlooked.
There were so many.
But we have only so much time.
In any event, Sheila, now that you've cleared your throat and had a sip, what is it that we're doing here?
I'm struggling my way through one of those things that people don't get anymore.
And that's like a cold and a sore throat again.
But it's not the cron.
Again, it's not the cron.
Everybody settle down.
Nevertheless, could you kindly mask up just in case the virus can be transmitted via computers and the internet?
The viruses on the computers.
Anyways, we should tell everybody what we're doing.
It's a Rebel News daily live stream.
It used to just be hosted on Friday by Ezra and only on YouTube.
But Ezra got busy and YouTube got censorious, so things changed.
We have a rotating stable of hosts throughout the week.
David and I host Tuesdays and Thursdays.
I host also on Monday with Adam Sos.
And then we have other people who shuffle in during the week.
And while we are on YouTube, I don't know how long that's going to last in general, but also today.
And so there are things that we can't say on YouTube.
For example, we can't question the advice of a public health officer because they're the new popes.
You just can't say mean things about them.
You can't say, well, you said that yesterday, but you're saying this today.
What changed?
What science changed?
You can't even question that on YouTube.
They'll cancel you.
So there will come a time where we will cut our YouTube feed.
So we don't want to stop broadcasting on YouTube altogether.
We have over 1.5 million YouTube subscribers over there.
We don't want to abandon you, even you hate watchers.
But we will encourage you to join us on one of the other platforms, like Rumble, Odyssey, and SuperU.
So those are great free speech platforms where you can also support the work that we do completely willingly.
So Odyssey allows you to send something called a hyper chat.
And if you send us a paid hyper chat, we'll read that on air.
Rumble allows you to send us a Rumble rant.
Again, if you send us one of those, we'll read it on air.
And Super U allows you to send us a Super You shout.
And again, we'll read that on air.
We're also streaming on Getter at the same time, which is wonderful.
We're wrapping up sort of our third week on Getter.
So that's great.
I think that's going very successfully.
Mrs. producer, Ms. Producer, lady producer, have I missed a platform?
I guess we have to ask.
Okay, I'm good.
I nailed it.
I'm not thinking clearly.
I'm a little bit on the cold meds today.
Anyway, so that's that.
So anyways, the moral of the story is: if you want to support the work we do completely willingly, head on over to Rumble, Odyssey, or Super U. Leave us a paid chat.
We'll read it on air.
And if you are on YouTube, we probably are going to have to say goodbye to you at some point during the stream today, but not so much goodbyes and see you in a minute over on one of the other platforms.
And that's that.
Indeed.
And you know, for those of you who did miss the State of the Union address, I would never ask you to watch one hour of Joe Biden.
That is grand larceny of your time.
It can be condensed into 45 seconds of highlights, or is it low light, Sheila?
I'm not sure.
And why don't we run that clip of Joe Biden trying to, I don't know what he's trying to do.
You tell me, folks.
Check it out.
To see what used to be called Russ Belt become the home of a significant resurgence of manufacturing.
Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he'll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people.
He'll never extinguish ourselves.
Preventing Russia's central bank from defending the Russell ruble.
A pound of Ukrainian people, proud, proud people, pound for pound.
There's simply nothing beyond our capacity.
Increasing the productive capacity of our economy.
I call it building a better America.
We won't stop because you can't build a wall high enough to keep out a vaccine.
The vaccine can stop the spread of these diseases.
That's one people.
One America.
The United States of America.
God bless you all.
And may God protect our truth.
Thank you.
Go get him.
Go get who.
You know, Sheila.
Go get who, Joe.
Go get who.
What are you doing?
Sheila, he is such a colossal screw-up.
That was the first thing that came into my mind.
Go get whom or go get what.
But I think he screwed up.
I think he was trying to channel Larry the cable guy, get her done.
So he even, you know, screwed up that.
The other thing, when he said, what used to be called the Rust Belt, no, no, no, Joe, you meant what used to be called the steel belt.
You see, the steel belt devolved into the Rust Belt thanks to all the steel menu.
Thanks to Democrats.
Thanks to Democrats.
So it was never, it used to be called the Rust Belt.
It became the Rust Belt.
It used to be called the Steel Belt, of course, the Iranian people of Ukraine, of which there might be two dozen.
Are there any Persians?
By the way, are there any Persians in Ukraine, Sheila?
And you can't build a wall high enough to keep the coronavirus out.
But I would say you can build a wall high enough to keep illegal aliens out.
And of course, the southern border of the U.S. continues to be a disaster.
No state of the union on that front either.
Sheila, it is so funny.
And my, you know, there's black humor, slapstick humor.
My favorite humor is unintentional humor, and that's Joe Biden.
But the sobering second thought here is this is the president of the United States.
He's not a comedian.
He's not an entertainer, although he's coming across as one.
It's kind of terrifying.
And I'm wondering, anyone that voted Democrat in 2020, are you having buyers' remorse about, oh, you know, how Mr. Orange Man was sending out all those mean tweets?
You know, I was watching the ladies in the background, Pelosi and Harris.
First of all, nobody looks good in a brown suit.
Nobody.
Well, Donald Reagan did in the 80s, but it doesn't transfer over to females, I guess.
No, nobody looks good in a brown suit.
And then Pelosi has responded to public criticism, which is something rare for a Democrat politician, because she's fixed her eyebrows somehow.
Somebody fixed her eyebrows.
Remember when they were like two N's up here on the top of her forehead a couple weeks ago?
She was in a constant state of being startled.
But now they've sort of come back down to like a normal spot.
So I don't know how they fixed that, but it was like one, maybe one too many facelifts where they were just like grabbing her head and pulling it up.
So they fixed that.
But I noticed that when they're looking at him, they're sort of like, sort of like, you know, like when your kid's on stage and you're like, they're going to nail their Christmas concert or whatever.
And you're like so excited they're going to get the line right.
They get to a point in this where they're like this.
Like they're in the edge of their chair waiting for a seat.
Look, here goes Gollum.
What is she doing?
She jumped the shark there for the standing ovation.
I think she was the only one standing, which is really embarrassing.
And by the way, Sheila, I'm wearing a brown suit today myself, I just noticed.
So how dare you make a mockery out of brown suits?
But, you know, you are right.
Pelosi, I would say that the cost of the plastic surgery that's gone into that woman probably rivals the U.S. defense spending budget because there's a lot of work going on there.
But, well, who am I to be a fashion or critic or a critic of someone's personal appearance?
But like I said, it comes down.
And you know what?
Those three, I mean, if anything happens to Biden, the succession is, of course, the vice president becomes the president.
So you have President Harris.
And if anything, God forbid should happen to her, it's Pelosi in the White House.
How terrifying is that, Sheila?
Oh my goodness.
I got to send this.
I was just like, you know what?
I'm just going to Google image search Nancy Pelosi's eyebrows.
I spent a whole day doing that.
And I know it sounds petty.
People who are tuning in, you're going to send me letters saying criticize their policies.
And I do.
That's why the Rust Belt is the Rust Belt and no longer the steel belt.
That's Pelosi's party.
That's Joe Biden.
He's been around long enough to have done that to an entire part of the country.
But her eyebrows are just one day.
One day I spent, I don't know, three good hours.
And I don't know why I did it because I don't have a lot of time to waste in my life.
And I don't consider it wasted time, I'll be honest.
I went back on Google image search to see where Pelosi's eyebrows began at the beginning of her career and where they're finishing now.
And it's a lot.
It charts the, I guess, the national debt maybe a little bit.
Well, you know, Sheila, back in the 80s, there was a song, Betty Davis' Eyes.
Maybe there's a song in the making there: Nancy Pelosi's Eyebrows.
It's a lot.
Look, and I'm not one to do anything gracefully, and aging is included in that, but that is next level.
I don't know.
Somebody tell your grand, change the plastic surgeon's number in your grandma's phone, Pelosi, grandchildren.
Well, it's not right.
No.
And Sheila, speaking of fashion crimes, well, we have something on the Miss Freeland's scarf drama, I believe.
There was quite an oppressor about that.
You know, this is about, of course, her holding up a scarf or being part of a photo where a scarf was depicting the name of a neo-Nazi organization in Ukraine.
And, you know, again, I can't help but think, Sheila, how if you give her the benefit of the doubt, she didn't know what that scarf was, she didn't understand the language on the scarf because it wasn't in English, I understand.
Okay, you know, I'll cut her some slack.
But I'm not.
But had that been a conservative, Sheila, it would still be on the front page today, don't you think?
Sure.
And we're seeing a lot of Telford op-eds, as they say, happening here.
But first, and you can tell in real time when the phone calls came in.
So let's go to Yankee's tweet that was in the message on Slack where we were prepping for the show today, where Yankee wonders what iPolitics is actually up to over there.
So the iPolitics first runs a story.
IPolitics Story Evolution00:02:35
And here's the tweet.
Maybe we can bring it up.
If you can find that, Olivia.
Okay, so here's the first one.
After, maybe zoom it out so we can see or not.
I don't know.
Okay.
Anyways, it says, after urging politicians to denounce hate symbols seen in Ottawa during the Truckers' Freedom Convoy, Christia Freeland was photographed holding up a banner associated with far-right Ukrainian nationalists who have links to neo-Nazis.
And we went over this on Tuesday.
She's holding up a thing and she's getting photographed with it.
And then she tweeted that and then she deleted it.
And she was our foreign affairs minister who runs around accusing everybody who she doesn't like about having ties to neo-Nazis and being fascists and being far-right.
And she fancies herself to be, you know, this daughter of Ukraine.
You think she might know a little something about this stuff, given her allegations, her history, and her job, but she didn't.
So let's move ahead.
So that was the tweet that she tweeted and deleted.
And we're all just supposed to be like, never happened.
It's fine.
Then iPolitics issues a correction.
And you can see this is, they must have got a phone call from Telford because iPolitics issues a correction.
Deputy Prime Minister Christy Freeland was photographed holding up a scarf in colors associated with far-right Ukrainian nationalists.
The previous one said photographed holding up a banner associated with far-right Ukrainian nationalists who have links to neo-Nazis.
So look how this has changed.
So it's no longer a banner.
It's a scarf.
Who cares?
It's all the same.
And in colors associated with far-right Ukrainian nationalists instead of a banner associated with far-right nationalists who have colors or who have links to neo-Nazis.
Now it's just the fact that it could have been anything on that scarf, but it was just red and black.
And oopsie doodle, red and black means you're a neo-Nazi.
You know, like, give me a break.
We know what it said.
The slogan is associated with Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
I'm sorry, but that's just what it is.
And so obviously, some you can see that this is the pressure that the liberals are putting on the bailout media.
You can see it in real time in their writing and how they're changing this.
And there was nothing wrong with the first part except for the fact that it was a scarf and not a banner.
Russian Disinformation Scandal00:15:02
Like, who cares?
And I'm going to take a wild gas Sheila and assume that iPolitics gets some taxpayer payola in terms of keeping that website alive and well.
So I'm wondering what was going on behind the scenes, who made the call to iPolitics, who made them say we need a correction or a clarification, and who basically read them the Riot Act.
You know who your sugar daddy is, don't you, iPolitics?
So if you know what's good for you, I wonder if they had to go that far.
What do you think?
Let's get into this story a little more because there's yet another layer.
All right.
So let's go into that National Post article written by Tristan Hopper, the raccoon murderer, but that's a whole other story.
What?
What does that mean?
He killed a raccoon by stepping on it, and he tweeted about it.
And look, I'd kill a raccoon too.
I declare animals pre-murderers all the time.
Like coyotes, sure, they're pests.
Clean them up.
But like when you live in Toronto, it's a little bit different than me shooting a coyote in the backyard before he cleans up the neighbor's chickens.
That's a little bit different than you just saw a raccoon and then stomped on him.
I don't know.
Killing a raccoon in Toronto, that's enough to get you canceled, even though the raccoon population is in no danger in Toronto.
And by the way, the raccoons in Toronto, it's a subspecies of the raccoon family.
Sure, yeah.
They're bigger.
They're fatter.
They give birth.
Smarter.
Yeah, smarter.
They give birth to larger litters and more of the raccoon babies survive.
When you compare a city of Toronto raccoon to a country raccoon, it's night and day.
I've never even seen a raccoon in real life, ever.
You know what?
You're right.
I always see them knocking over garbage cans.
I've never seen one.
We don't have them here.
It's too cold.
It's one of the upsides of being too cold.
And Sheila, can I just quickly weigh in with what is the scam of the century?
And if I didn't go into journalism, what I would have gone into is wildlife control service in the city of Toronto.
Because here's how the law works.
I once said a story on this, Sheila.
When you, as a homeowner, have a raccoon problem and you call XYZ raccoon removal, when the raccoon version of Ghostbusters comes over and takes care of the raccoon, by law, they can only see.
I always thought when you capture a raccoon in the city, you drive out to the country and let him go.
No, no, no, no.
By law, you can only transport the animal 0.9 of a kilometer.
And I mean, you can tell a bureaucrat wrote these things.
It's around the block.
Exactly.
Like, why not just one kilometer, an even number?
No.
So 900 meters.
So basically, they find their way back because they're not stupid.
They're very smart animals.
And, you know, eventually the homeowner has to call the raccoon retrieval service again.
What a license to make money.
So if anyone's unemployed right now, you've got a van and you've got some cages, it's a very low investment, you will be very well compensated in the raccoon removal scam that exists in the city of Toronto.
David, I could talk all day about the problem with city people dealing with pest extermination.
Like, don't even get me started on how the city of Edmonton deals with coyotes.
They're training them to like people and be around people.
They're walking around shaking cans of pennies at coyotes.
And I'm like, you're just teaching them not to be scared of you because you come by making noise and then they see you 20 times making noise and they're like, oh, that guy's just making noise.
They were throwing balls at them at one point.
I'm like, they're dogs.
They're dogs.
They're going to learn how to fetch.
Stop it.
Like, they're going to be in your backyard right away.
Don't do that.
But anyways, let's go.
That's unbelievable.
Didn't we learn the folly from the movie Conquest of the Planet of the Apes back in the 70s?
Don't try to domesticate wild animals.
Anyways, keep going.
They're not even trying to domesticate them.
They think they're trying to scare them.
But I'm like, you're just making them extra used to people.
You want them to be scared of people so they stay away.
Sometimes sending a few home to Jesus is the best way to do that.
But I don't work for the city of Edmonton.
Anyways, let's get back to Freeland because that was a hell of a tangent.
So, anyways, this article from Raccoon Stopper, Chris Hopper.
He writes, Did Christian Freeland pose with extremist symbols or is it Russian disinformation?
Why is that a question?
Christia Freeland posed with extremist symbols.
And who's the editor of this, by the way?
So, anyways, the next line says, a classic KGB disinformation smear is accusing Ukrainians and Ukrainian Canadians of being far-right extremists or fascists or Nazis.
Freeland's press secretary said.
Excuse me, moi.
Isn't that what?
Isn't that what the liberals do to everybody?
So you're telling me that Justin Trudeau invoked standard KGB smear tactics on truckers, farmers, gun rights advocates, random conservative grandparents, anybody who doesn't vote for all of his dumb, expensive ideas.
He goes around accusing them of being far-right extremists.
Actually, I think we have a clip of Justin Trudeau doing his best KGB disinformation strategy here when referring to the trucker convoy.
I should have called for it sooner because I just put Olivia on the spot.
But you know what?
While Olivia is looking for that, let's go back a second to that bizarre headline that you pointed out, Sheila, with the words Russian disinformation.
The only way in the world that photo would qualify as Russian disinformation is that if somebody in Russia had photoshopped the photograph and inserted the scarf there or changed a different scarf to read what it currently reads.
Because otherwise, how is this Russian disinformation?
Well, and let's think about this for a second.
Justin Trudeau, when we ever find that clip, he goes and calls the convoy far-right, homophobic, blah-body-blah, like the whole host of the things that the liberals who are guilty of these things accuse other people of doing.
Amazing.
They trot that out every single time somebody they don't like says something they don't like, including Freeland herself.
And yet, in this article, her press secretary completely gets away with saying it.
Here's the clip.
Let's show Justin Trudeau doing the KGB thing here.
Audio up.
From Vern Pitch.
You've got Biden's audio in the background, please.
Well, really, is there a difference in terms of who's in parliament and who's in the White House these days?
Two sides of the same coin, I would argue, especially when it comes to energy policies.
I don't know how this article got published without pointing out all the other times Justin Trudeau accused normal people of this.
And nobody said, well, sounds like the liberals are being hypocritical about this kind of thing.
Because this is literally what they do to everybody, including the convoy.
And there's another layer of crazy here because the convoy is led by Westerners.
And as I pointed out in my video that I did sort of on the topic of Keystone XL and how Westerners support building Keystone XL and how the liberals had accused the convoy of being, or sorry, I was going to say a CBC commenter, but I think I'm repeating myself because they're all liberals over there.
Said that the convoy was somehow Russian-backed.
A convoy from the West is full of people of Ukrainian descent.
I don't know how I dodged that bullet, quite frankly.
My dad spoke Ukrainian.
My kids can take Ukrainian immersion at school.
And anybody born north of Red Deer is likely somewhere there's a Ukrainian in the family, right?
That's just how it is.
So when the liberals and the CBC, but I repeat myself, accuse the convoy of being somehow Russian-backed, that just shows how insane and out of touch they are, but also how desperate they are.
And now all of a sudden, it's the KGB somehow put a scarf in Freeland's hand.
It's just so desperate and crazy.
Anyways, I think we finally got it.
Maybe not.
We're struggling.
To anyone who joined the convoy but is rightly uncomfortable with the symbols of hatred and division on display, join with your fellow Canadians.
Be courageous and speak out.
Do not stand for or with intolerance and hate.
Yeah, and Sheila, what is intolerance and hate?
Forget about a flag depicting a swastika.
I can tell you as someone who spent about half the duration of the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa, that right now, if you drive a big rig in the city of Ottawa, or even a DoRaguer pickup truck, and you have a hockey stick displaying the Maple Leaf, the Canadian flag, our national flag, Sheila, you will be profiled and targeted and pulled over by the Ottawa police.
100%.
If you are going to Ottawa, folks, and you want to avoid any unnecessary hassle with law enforcement there, do not display the Canadian flag on a truck, especially one that is attached to a hockey stick.
And I mean, you know, Sheila, how despicable?
I mean, how Canadian is that?
A hockey stick being the flagpole for the red and white maple leaf.
And yet that's considered the calling card of a hater, a racist, you name it.
I thought I'd never see the day, and this is right on the streets of our national capital.
The small fringe minority of people who are on their way to Ottawa are holding unacceptable views that they're expressing.
Do not represent the views of Canadians who have been there for each other, who know that following the science, which seems to change day by day, by the way, are stepping up to protect.
I know, I'm there.
Stepping up to protect each other is the best way to continue to ensure our freedoms, rights, and values as a country, Trudeau told reporters.
Anyways, the movement, they've also claimed the movement is made up of white nationalists, far-right, domestic terrorists.
And that sounds a lot like what Freeland's press secretary says is KGB tactics, isn't it?
You know, when I was covering the dying hours of the demonstrators near Parliament Hill because it had already been fenced off, there were four or five individuals in front of me.
They were wearing turbans.
I believe that makes them of the Sikh faith.
And one of them was so kind to give me hand warmers to put into my gloves.
That really kind of hurts this whole white supremacist argument, wouldn't you say, Sheila?
Well, this whole thing about, oh, it's the Russians out to get Christia Freeland instead of Christia Freeland out to get Christia Freeland.
The Ottawa citizen, to their credit, pains me to say, but they actually did a good job on this.
A little, how many years ago was it?
2017.
You know what?
I'm going to pop this over to you, Olivia, but I'll go through it while you wait or while you bring it up.
Christia Freeland, her granddad was indeed a Nazi collaborator.
I think this is common knowledge.
He wrote for a Ukrainian publication that basically collaborated with the Nazis, whitewashed what they did, and published propaganda.
Michael Chomiak was her grandfather's name.
And some of his, some of the things he had done and he had written, they're in the Alberta Provincial Archives.
So but despite the fact that we have archival records in a government facility, she claimed that accusations that her grandfather was a Nazi collaborator, she claimed that those were coming from the Russians.
Well, then I guess the provincial archives of Alberta are also collaborating with the Russians now.
She's trotted out this excuse.
Anytime something embarrassing comes up that she's done, it's always the KGB are out to get me.
She's got these, I don't know, delusions of grandeur that she is somehow important enough for the KGB to target.
I don't think she is because she's pretty good at screwing up her own public persona through her own bad actions.
But this is not the first time that her people have said, oh, no, no way.
That's the KGB.
The KGB strikes again on old Christia Freeland.
You know, it's amazing.
And I again go back to the Post article talking about Russian disinformation.
If it wasn't a Photoshop allegation they're hinting at, are they saying, Sheila, that there were people at that rally that are pro-Putin and they brought the scarf out to frame essentially Miss Freeland?
Is that what they're getting at?
Because I still don't understand what they're talking about with Russian disinformation.
Well, even if it were, why did she hold it and walk with it?
Like if someone said, like, here, Sheila, hold this white supremacist thing.
Russian Operatives on Campus00:02:59
I would be like, gross, get that away from me.
But she's like, yep, take my picture.
So even if the Russians tried to get her, and I, you know what, I don't, I'm not, I'm, I don't discount that there are Russian operatives in Canada.
I don't discount there are Russian operatives around the world.
Like I don't discount there are Iranian operatives in Canada and around the world.
Same thing.
China, same thing.
Huawei is dedicated to spying.
So I don't discount that that's there.
I've actually seen the Huawei spies with my own eyes.
So I don't discount that other countries are in ours doing disinformation campaigns.
I don't discount that.
But disinformation only gets so far.
You enable it when you are like, oh, you want me to hold this?
Sure thing.
And like put your smiling mug up against it.
Normal people would be like, nope, no thanks.
Nope.
But her, she's fine.
Telephone telegraph.
Tell Chrisia Freeland to hold up this sign and smile.
And she did.
Isn't the moral of the story, Sheila, that if you are a public figure or a politician and someone asks you to pose with a placard or a scarf, a flag, what have you, and it's in a foreign language, before the cameras start rolling, shouldn't you say, excuse me, but can you tell me what this translates into in English and what this organization is about?
So you don't do a Christia Freeland.
It's funny, Sheila.
Remember years ago, I think it was 2016, it was the 100th anniversary of the woman's suffrage movement in Canada.
And we used to do a segment called Generation Trudeau on campus.
And we went out onto the campus of Ryerson University.
I miss those.
I hope you start doing those again.
Yeah, we should.
Once things open up, we should because they're gold.
And basically, we went up to predominantly female students on the University of Ryerson and asked them to sign a petition denouncing female suffrage.
And oh my goodness, like ants to an open jam jar.
They don't know what the word suffrage means.
Oh, yeah, they're going, oh, absolutely.
In 2016, the idea that there's still domestic abuse against women is, you know, this is on a university campus, Ryerson, or University X, as they call it now, since Egerton Ryerson's statue was torn down and demolished.
Unbelievable.
So, oh my goodness, that's great, Johnny on the Spot journalism.
Old mic flashes.
Look at those signatures.
Can you believe it?
To stamp out women's suffrage, I am against the right for women to vote.
You know what, though?
Every time that Justin Trudeau gets re-elected, I'm like, you know what?
I'm willing to hear arguments against women's suffrage, especially in the Toronto area.
You know what?
Desantis On Masks00:08:05
You might have a new campaign on the front boy for us, Sheila.
Western women against Eastern women voting.
And you know what?
We can export that south because one of the demographic shifts in the 2020 U.S. election was the fact that white, college-educated, suburban females were voting Democrat.
They didn't like the nasty tweets of Donald Trump.
And I guess there was more of those than blue-collar, traditional Democratic men switching their vote from Democrat to Republican.
So, yeah, maybe there's something to be said about limitations on certain genders in certain territories.
You know what?
That's a good segue into something fun from the United States.
Okay.
And I think we should talk about it.
And then we'll get to Pastor Art's Brother.
I don't want to not talk about that.
That's important.
But let's show this clip from a Ron DeSantis press conference yesterday.
Big Ron continues to run the freedom utopia of Florida in the best way possible.
He's wonderful.
He's just, I just, I can't get enough of him and his cute little family and how he's such a straight shooter.
And so what should have been like a fun thing yesterday caused liberals to lose their mind and they somehow tracked down this kid's mom who was not going to pass up on her 15 minutes of fame, but didn't realize how hypocritical she was being.
So let's run Big Ron first.
Honestly, it's not doing anything and we got to stop with this COVID theater.
So if you want to wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous.
All right.
Well, it's good to be at USF.
Perfect, right?
If you want to wear it, you got to stop with this.
Would it be so beautiful, Sheila, to see Jason Kenney or Doug Ford do that in public?
But their puppet masters won't allow that kind of hard reality to be uttered, will they?
Yeah.
So he does, Big Ron does something great.
He says to some kids, we got to stop with this COVID theater.
As in, young people, be free again.
Show your little smiling faces.
Show the dental work that your parents have spent so much money on.
Smile, get out there, right?
And the kids do.
And he says, if you want to wear it, fine, but whatever.
This is ridiculous.
The mainstream media did some serious investigative journalism.
You know, like we can't figure out, you know, like we can't name anybody in Epstein's little black book, but the investigative journalism network of the entire United States mainstream media was mobilized to find the name of that kid and his mom.
And they went, they worked obviously all day because I think it was dark when they interviewed her.
And so here's the clip.
And pay attention to what's happening here.
Oh, what a great sport for him.
And I told him to wear that mask.
And Governor DeSantis, and he's looking at this adult authority and telling him, oh, you didn't have to wear the mask.
What was your reaction when you heard the governor tell you and your classmates, remove your masks?
A bit of surprise and shock, more of, okay, this authority figure is asking me to do something that I know is probably going to end up being controversial.
I took mine off.
Did you feel pressured by the governor to do that?
Mmm.
He scared his mom.
It was more of a pressure of an adult figure asking me to do something.
And it's just like, all right, why not?
It's just shocking that the governor told these kids, take off your mask.
He pretty much said, take off your mask.
It's stupid.
And take off your mask.
Your parents don't matter.
Even though I'm telling you, parents matter.
And he's telling my minor child to take off his mask.
He's putting us at risk.
So, oh, yeah, I was upset.
Very upset.
Well, the first observation, obviously, Sheila, is why isn't Mama wearing her mask?
Thank you.
She's at a higher level.
She doesn't think they work.
Oh, political symbol.
Absolutely.
And he wasn't ordered to take off his mask.
DeSantis clearly said it's your choice.
That's what we love about Republicans, the true Republicans, freedom of choice.
And third, the kids should have kept that bloody mask off because the way he was sounding that interview, he reminded me of Mushmouth from Fat Albert and the Cosby kids.
Remember that character?
You can't barely hear what he's saying, right?
Well, you can tell that he is scared to death of saying the wrong thing with his mom standing right there and the TV cameras there.
Like she's like this far away from his face.
She's got no mask on.
He's talking and she's like this.
And Sheila, you know, like he's worried.
Like she's, she's going to murder me if I say the wrong thing.
And if I don't say that I was intimidated by DeSantis, there's intimidation happening in that household, but it's from mom, I think.
And Sheila, I have no doubt that the reporter and the cameraman and the sound person were wearing masks.
Oh, for sure.
I'm absolutely sure of that.
Outside.
But why didn't they ask her the question, albeit a slightly impolite ma'am?
If you really feel that way about masks, why aren't you wearing a mask?
Because statistically, you're in a far bigger risk group than your young, healthy son.
Making sure he says the right thing.
Not social distancing either, by the way.
This was what the brain trust of the American media spent their day on yesterday.
Oh, so many layers of hypocrisy there in that one little clip, Sheila.
But yeah, I think.
They all hate Fox News, but Fox News will never go away as long as they keep acting that way.
Wow.
Well, you know what?
I'll tell you, I think if you were to poll Americans on what Governor DeSantis said yesterday, he comes out a winner.
And we see that even in the enclaves of Democrat states.
I go back to last month's Super Bowl, Sheila.
Over 70,000 people in SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles to see the Rams take on the Bengals.
Almost everybody was not wearing a mask.
There was no social distancing.
It was standing room only.
Have we heard about Los Angeles becoming a super spreader event?
So why was that okay to watch a Super Bowl like that?
And yet the next day on Monday, the kids had to go to elementary schools wearing masks.
I don't get it.
Have we heard about Ottawa being a super spreader event, by the way?
No.
Street parties everywhere, just people sharing food, hanging out, high-fiving, hugging, dancing, sharing hot tubs, which is gross, sitting in a pool of somebody else's filth, a tepid pool of somebody else's filth.
You know, if there were diseases to be exchanged, it would have happened in there, and I'm just not seeing it.
Okay, first of all, you insulted my brown suit.
Now you're insulting the hot tub, which on the day before Valentine's in 1988 is where I met the future lady menzoid in a hot tub at the fitness facility.
Church Vehicle Arrest00:15:11
How do you like that?
You know what?
That's a fateful day, I'm sure, for you, but also for her, too.
She really took one for the team back then.
So thank you, Lady Menzies.
Yes, she met her future husband in this cauldron of filth and hot water.
And it's been a cauldron of filth and hot water ever.
It surely has been.
I got to tell you.
Okay, let's get to a more serious news before we run out of time because we only have about 15 minutes left in the show, technically speaking.
And surely we have some chats we have to get to as well, right?
I didn't even look, but I'm sure we do.
And if we don't, send them now.
Rumble, Odyssey, and Super U, if you want to send us a paid chat.
So breaking news happened yesterday, sort of late in the afternoon in Alberta time.
Pastor Art Peloski's brother, David Dowed, was taken into custody by police Wednesday afternoon.
He was stopped in what appeared to be a routine commercial vehicle stop, which is not routine at all on a Wednesday afternoon.
But anyway, and he doesn't exactly have a commercial vehicle.
He's in the church van, but they pulled him over saying they were checking for commercial vehicles.
He was wise enough to flip on his Facebook Live and broadcast the whole thing.
So we do have a clip of what happened.
There were multiple police officers showed up.
He says that they checked him for alcohol, which, of course, I mean, it's Wednesday afternoon and he was out and about in the church van.
So he wasn't drinking.
However, they did say that he was being picked up on breach of, I think, conditions.
And he is on probation for technically, it is contempt of a court order.
And that was the court order that locked the church and required inspection of the church.
And they were found guilty of contempt of that late last year.
And so I'm not sure what conditions he breached by being out and about driving around, but they hauled him off to jail where his brother is still in jail, Pastor Art Poloski.
He's going on, I think, three weeks in jail now for the crime of he's the only person charged with under the critical infrastructure protection law here in Alberta.
And that's designed to stop people from setting fire to our railway tracks or blowing up a pipeline.
It's not designed to arrest prickly pastors for going down to the Coots border blockade and giving a sermon, which is what he's in trouble for.
He was charged, the only person ever charged under that law.
None of the people who did the blockading were even charged under that law.
He was charged because he went there to give a servant and they won't let him out now.
And so David was taken into custody.
It sounds like he's been released or will be released, but Adam Sos will have an update with Sarah Miller, Art and David's longtime hardworking, excellent lawyer from JSS Barristers.
And if people want to support David and Art in their battle for free speech and religious freedom in the times of COVID, and it's funny because everything's reopening and they're still being persecuted, you can go to savearter.com and maybe we have a clip of the arrest, which I should have called for sooner.
I'm sorry.
Coming up.
Hello, everyone.
Here I am.
Again, supposedly was stopped for a check stop.
But it's very weird.
I've been waiting already for quite a while.
I saw them make some phone calls.
I was stopped by police and sheriffs.
There is a check stop here.
Okay.
Okay, sir.
Do you just want to go ahead and move the vehicle over to the side?
What's going on?
Once you go ahead and move the vehicle over to the side, we're going to get you to turn it off.
Okay, what's going on, guys?
Just turn your truck off, please.
Okay, what's going on?
We'll explain it to you.
Please turn your truck off.
What did I do?
We'll explain everything in a minute.
Please turn your truck off.
Okay.
Can I pull over and somebody can pick up the truck?
Yeah, we'll deal with all that in a moment, okay?
We got sufficient lighting.
Well, obviously, you want to arrest me, right?
So can I just pull over so that my nephew can pick up the church vehicle?
Guys, this is a church vehicle.
Come on, guys.
Yeah, we'll move the vehicle over to the side.
After that, turn off the camera.
Okay.
And then we'll explain everything over to you, okay?
so as you see they're arresting me I have no idea what charges, what's going on.
to Yeah.
Okay, thanks for that.
Okay, so right now, as it stands, you're under arrest for Form 7 unendorsed warrant, okay?
For what?
For Form 7 unendorsed warrant.
What is that?
It's just breaching conditions, so I just need you to step out of the vehicle, okay?
So you are under arrest, sir.
We need you to exit the vehicle, please, okay?
Okay, everyone.
May God bless you and keep you.
The harassment in Canada is continuing.
You know, Sheila, the first thing that jumped out at me were those three stooges with the Calgary Police Service.
One fully masked, one with a mask below his nose, and one with no mask at all.
So somebody's breaking some kind of procedural rule in terms of the masking regulations.
But this is despicable, Sheila.
Again, it seems to me that the Calgary Police Service is subscribing to the 2002 Minority Report film.
They have a pre-crimes unit.
He hasn't committed any crime.
I don't think he was speeding or anything like that.
And even if he was, you wouldn't be asked to step out of a vehicle.
And what was, he was driving a church vehicle, so presumably maybe he wasn't even going to the Coots border, but he was going downtown to feed the homeless, which, of course, is another bogus crime.
Sheila, here's the thing.
I've asked you this question a couple of times whenever we talk about the Pavlowskis.
And I think you bring insight to it because you live in the province.
What is Jason Kenny thinking?
I mean, I could see this happening under Rachel Notley, but the way I would imagine the base of Kenny would react to this kind of outrageous and egregious harassment of these brothers must be off the charts negative.
So what is he thinking, especially going into an election year?
I have no idea.
Now, I think a lot of this is being Alberta Health Services has a vendetta, but the buck stops with Jason Kenney.
Exactly.
He's the premier.
So it stops with the health minister, Jason Klopping.
It also starts with, or it stops with Jason Kenney.
But the Calgary City police have had a vendetta against Pastor Art for, I think we're approaching two decades.
He was first arrested for reading the Bible in public.
Oh.
Throw away the key.
Exactly.
So they have abused every bylaw, every loophole they can to shut Pastor Art up.
Now, you can agree with him.
You can disagree with him.
You can have theological disputes.
You might not like his style.
But feeding the homeless is a virtuous thing to do.
It's not a crime here in Alberta.
Opening your doors to give comfort and sanctuary to people who are devastated and hurting by the lockdown, that's the right thing to do.
It's not something you throw people in jail for.
For going to give moral support to people who are making a stand for freedom, again, a virtue, not a crime.
And yet, these men are persecuted over and over and over again.
And I have heard nothing from the premier, even when another judge found that the gag order issued to these men when they were found guilty of contempt that said that they could not give their own opinion about the lockdown before they gave the government and I guess Pfizer's opinion about the lockdown.
He, this man of great religious freedom advocacy, Jason Kenney, he never said a word.
He didn't even say, you know what?
That is a bridge too far.
He never said a single word, even after it was overturned.
I can understand why he wouldn't want to do it before, because you don't want to be perceived to be meddling in the judicial process.
But after it's being overturned, you never said anything then.
Give me a break.
I hope that there are, I hope that Brian Gene, who is gutting for the Premier's job, because the Premier is coming up on a leadership review in April, Brian Gene wants that job.
He's running for the UCP on an anti-Jason Kenney platform in Fort McMurray.
I hope that Brian Gene, if he's smart, and I think he's got smart people around him, there are plenty of pastors being arrested, images that would make one heck of a campaign ad if you want to campaign against Jason Kenney.
And all you have to do is couple that with every time Jason Kenney stood up and gave a speech about religious freedom.
And so many in Alberta, inexplicably, I thought that'd be the last province where you'd see a G-Head.
Times.
Tim Stevens, James Coates, the Peloskis.
It's over and over and over again, harassing the churches.
Christians meeting in the shadows because they're scared of the state that happened in Jason Kenney's Alberta, the guy who couldn't shut his mouth about how Christians were treated in China.
You know, Sheila, sometimes I really don't recognize our country anymore.
You would think that the Polawskis over years of going downtown on their own dime and their own time, feeding the homeless, you would think they would be shortlisted for key to the city.
Instead, they're harassed.
There's a vendetta.
They're jailed.
And on the flip side, we have our own homegrown al-Qaeda terrorist, Omar Carter.
He gets a $10.5 million paycheck for hurt feelings.
And yet, look at his odious record killing a U.S. serviceman and blinding, partially blinding another.
How do you make sense of this?
Pastor Art's politics are wrong.
He opposed the left-wing mayor Nahid Menshe.
The new mayor also doesn't like him.
He opposes Jason Kenney.
His politics are wrong.
So he's not entitled to justice.
And that's really what it comes down to.
You don't get justice if you are on the wrong side of political leadership.
We've seen it time and time again, especially during COVID in some of the larger cases, right?
So true.
Now, again, if people want to help the Peloskis, because boy, they need it.
They're up against the full force of the state.
They can go to savearter.com.
None of that money goes to art.
None of it comes to Rebel News.
None of it goes to David.
It goes directly to the Democracy Fund to fund their legal defense.
And you will get a charitable tax receipt for it because the Democracy Fund is a registered Canadian charity that works to advance civil liberties of all Canadians, including Canada's persecuted pastors.
Speaking of civil liberties, Sheila, where is the Canadian Civil Liberties Association on this?
Or are they still obsessed with getting prisoners, including violent and sexual offenders, out of jails so that, well, presumably, A, there'll be more opportunity for social distancing and also to put COVID violators such as Adam Skelly for opening a restaurant, God forbid, into jail.
But they have been despicably absent in the last two years in terms of defending civil liberties, wouldn't you say?
I'm doing my best not to have a resting mean face every time somebody brings those people up, but they've only shown up to the game if they weren't trying to get sex offenders out.
They've only shown up to the game only recently because the convoy took a global stage, the Convoy for Freedom to Ottawa, and the crackdown on protesters there ended up under the global microscope.
And so they sachet up like they haven't been anywhere in two years defending peaceful protesters, churches.
We saw peaceful protesters arrested in Toronto.
Where were they?
Nowhere to be found.
Churches being closed and then seized by the state, civil liberties people, nowhere to be found.
But they show up finally because the world is looking at what's happening in Ottawa and they're like, oh, we maybe better issue a statement.
And then they end up on Fox News.
And I'm like, who the heck have you?
Yeah.
A-holes been for two years.
An entire civil liberties charity was created from the ground up, the Democracy Fund, because the existing civil liberties organizations weren't doing a damn thing.
And where were they when people were getting ticketed for going to church?
Nowhere.
And but then all of a sudden when they're like, oh, well, we can get the whole world looking at us like we're some kind of freedom fighters.
Then they show up and issue a statement.
Well, thank you for nothing.
Thanks for nothing.
You've done nothing for two years.
You people are the worst, and I hope you're watching.
I'd love to track down Michael Bryant, although I would never do so on my bicycle, of course.
That might be a life-ending event.
You'd end up like Tristan Hopper's raccoon.
They Show Up Late00:08:23
And this is the civil liberties guru.
Can you imagine?
Oh, you can't write this stuff.
I'm sure we have some chat, Sheila.
So shall we get to that?
I've got no.
Can you tell I have no patience for the Canadian civil liberties organizations whatsoever?
The ones that are in BC, they're on the take from Trudeau.
So how are you going to hold him to account?
Like, they're literally on the take from Trudeau.
Anyway.
Well, you almost dropped the A-bomb.
You used an abbreviated version of that.
I've never seen you do that, Sheila.
So this must really be getting under your skin.
Yeah, because they're just a bunch of spotlight burglars and no smoke.
That's what they showed up for.
They're just like, oh, look at us.
We're fighting for freedom.
And it's like, what did you do?
Send a strongly worded letter when everybody else has been engaging in litigation, fundraising, helping people whose lives have been ruined by tickets.
Like, we're dealing with people who are getting $5,000 quarantine tickets.
Democracy Fund's trying to help them.
$5,000 to a struggling family could destroy it, lead to divorce.
Divorce is bad for kids.
It causes, you know, it ups their chance of, you know, drug abuse and going to prison.
Like, if you come from a divorced family, it just raises that instance where your life just could possibly fall apart.
But so to stop it by fighting that ticket, you're stopping a cascade of social events that could be horrible for that family.
Where was the civil liberties organization at any point during the pandemic, except for advocating for prisoners who weren't pastors?
It is unbelievable.
And I remember going back some two years ago, Sheila, when the Canadian Civil Liberties Association issued a statement that we're going to be watching what governments are.
Yeah, they did a lot of watching.
And if there's any shenanigans, literally all they did.
Yeah.
Oh, but they said if there's any shenanigans, we are going to issue a very terse press release.
Oh, please, I scare Easy.
Don't issue a terse press release.
So useless.
In the meantime, us, JCCF, Canadian Constitutional Foundation, were actively, well, not us, but Democracy Fund, actively engaged in litigation.
And before the Democracy Fund was created, it was just us fighting tickets through fight the fines before we moved that over to the Democracy Fund.
Where were they?
They didn't do anything.
And then they see people get stomped with horses and they're like, right.
Now is our chance to, I don't know, get on Fox News.
Where were you?
You know, two years of litigation.
You guys didn't show up once.
Incredible.
Anyway, let's get to some of these chats.
I can talk about how awful those people are forever.
Because it's worse than useless, right?
A lot of people are useless.
These people are awful.
They didn't do anything until they could get noticed for doing next to nothing.
And they're getting paid to be useless.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sarcasm is not hate speech gives us two bucks, says Trudeau and Biden are tyrants.
I'm not arguing.
Paul Otto Newman gives us five bucks.
Biden's Building a Better America is Made in China knockoff of Trump's Make America Great Again slogan.
Yeah, I was watching that and I was like, wait, is this Make America Great Again?
Because they just gave that like, buy America, build America, make an America, American manufacturing.
That's a Trump policy.
But they just rebranded it.
And the Democrats who said that was protectionism and xenophobia were like, oh, sorry, as Nancy Pelosi did.
And check out the unfortunate acronym.
We've gone from MAGA to Baba, as in what?
Baba Bui?
No, that's a tip of the hat to Ukrainian grandmothers.
Becca Henderson gives us a buck.
Is it me or does Kamala?
Did I say that right?
Is Kamala?
Kamala.
I don't know.
What is it?
I don't care.
I don't care.
Seemed completely drunk in this clip, and then she links to the clip.
Can we show that clip?
She hammered, elections matter.
And when folks vote, they order what they want.
And in this case, they got what they asked for.
Oh, yeah, I went off script a little bit.
We did it.
We did it, Joe.
Wow.
Ordering more shooters at dueling pianos for sure.
I'm like, you want you asked for it.
Round of apple pies.
She's so happy with herself.
It's like she just delivered the Gettysburg Address for the next generation, you know?
It's unbelievable.
They're like Freeland, where they think they're just more incredible than they are.
Like Freeland thinks she's a target of the KGB.
They don't need to target her.
She'll ruin herself on her own.
Timothy Robert Salzman, 10 libraries.
Pretty sure I wouldn't want to be Jason Kenney with his persecution of Christian pastors.
For we know him who said, Vengeance is mine, I will repay.
Hebrews 10, 30.
Yes.
Sea Broad Arrow gives us five bucks.
It's more than just neo-Nazi.
It's the slogan and colors of Stepan Bendera's U-O-N-B, who were responsible for genocide of the Jews in Ukraine.
Yeah.
The black and red stands for blood and soil, or soil and blood, I guess, which is a pretty Nazi slogan.
So, I mean, again, I understand if the lay person doesn't know these things and you're in a crowd with people holding up Cyrillic letters and you don't know what it says, but you know that you're anti-invasion.
I get it.
But Freeland, like, she wears her Ukrainian heritage like a force field against criticism and she makes herself an expert in these matters.
And she was our foreign affairs minister and she fancies herself to be some sort of European politics guru.
And so how did she not know that?
Plus, again, she also calls everybody else a neo-Nazi.
You might want to know about the neo-Nazis in your own cultural backyard.
Yeah, you know, maybe the Ottawa Senators Hockey Club might want to rethink their uniform colors of black and red.
And Sheila, for that matter, I noticed you're wearing black and red today.
What are you trying to say?
I'm not saying anything.
This is my cultural uniform of Northeastern Alberta.
And I don't get upset when Efron appropriates it.
I'm happy.
Becca Henderson gives us a buck.
The fact that everyone was angry about the racist symbols at the convoy by a random guy.
We're still investigating that, by the way, just so you know.
But no outrage about freelance shows they never cared about the symbols, they only wanted to gaslight the convoy.
Yeah, 100%, 100%.
And the media was happy to help.
The media were the architects of it.
The liberals quarterbacked it, the media were the architects.
And they never stopped talking about it.
And I spent several days in Ottawa during that Freedom Convoy.
And the hatred that I saw, oh, oh, I don't know, singing O Canada, dancing in the streets to Twisted Sisters, we're not going to take it anymore.
If that's your version of a hate fest, well, I don't know what a peaceful protest is anymore, Sheila.
And I see these like counter-protests popping up sometimes at the Edmonton protest where they're like four people show up and they hold signs that say hate has no home here.
Like, what do you, what are you getting at?
And so where is there a home where hate is?
Carbon Tax Conundrum00:09:17
Like, I just don't understand.
Like, it's just, they, they've been so, these people are so weaponized by the things they hear on TV that they think that thousands of their Canadian neighbors are neo-Nazis.
Yeah.
What a terrible way to have to go through your day.
Sheila, it's indoctrination at so many levels.
And whether it's a political ideology such as Marxism or Madison Avenue selling beer with advertising campaigns, as the saying goes, get them young, get them forever.
Yep, that's true.
Mick3CA gives us a buck, says ATMs are being removed fast.
The end of ATMs in Australia.
Thousands of cash machines are removed across the country as banks go digital.
What?
Well, who takes no cash anymore?
Oh, I do.
I got a bullet bulging with cash just in case, folks.
Not that I'm rich or anything.
Takes it all out in fives.
And I'll tell you why.
You know, former Mr. Producer Justin, there was a little localized blackout once.
And all the kids right now, they pay with their debit card.
And I went into the subway and it was amazing.
There were these millennials and they could own, it was a subway sandwich store and they could only process transactions because there was no electricity available via cash.
And let's cut to the ending of the story, Sheila.
I was the only one that walked out of that substore with a sandwich.
I've seen servers try to do math in their heads sometimes, and it is painful to watch.
I'm like, you can't even count up.
Like, nobody's even taught them how to count up when they're giving change.
Like, if someone gives you a 20 and the bill is 16.50, well, you put down 50 cents and you've made it to 17 and then three more make 20, right?
Like they've never even taught, like, been taught the cheats around handling cash.
It's, I, it's, yeah, I worry about the future of our young people.
Sheila, I have a great anecdote about that.
Back in the 80s, I went to a Blue Jays game and I bought some concessions, and the total came to $5.10.
And I gave the server $20.10, and she gave me back the dime.
She said, oh, no, no, sir, it's only $5.10.
You don't have to give me the coin.
I go, well, I'm giving you the coin so you can just give me $15 back.
And she looked confused and she took out a notepad and she wrote, $20.10, $5.10.
Zero minus zero is zero.
And she goes, oh, you're right.
I can give you $15.
True story, folks.
Swear to God.
Wow.
There are no life skills left.
Are there?
And I hope they don't get rid of all the ATMs because what am I going to do during garage sale season?
I'm always running around with a big stack of $5 bills in case I'm driving home and there's a garage sale and then I have to squawk my tires on the highway and go have a look.
I mean, the only other thing I can think of, true story, there's a TD bank in Richmond Hill on Young Street, and I went to it to use the cash, the ATM on Saturday night.
And I was greeted by locked doors with a sign saying this ATM only functions during bank hours, which why do you need the ATM?
Exactly.
But I can tell, I know for certain, given the area, I know what the unspoken reason is, Sheila.
It is homeless people going into this enclave and perhaps doing their business, you know, sleeping there, whatever.
So they've just, but I mean, you're right.
The purpose of an ATM is I can presumably show up at two in the morning and I get cash, but not of this branch.
So weird.
Okie doke.
So Mick3CA reminds us to take his ATM message seriously because if we let this happen everywhere along with the ending of bank tellers, then how do we get cash?
We must stop evil tyrants from playing the social credit game.
Well, David believes in cash.
Lots of it.
I do.
Sarcasm is not hate.
Speech gives us five bucks.
Says, stay strong, Patriots.
We will win.
The salt will flow.
Jorgy Dorgi gives us a buck.
Rand Paul applauded the CCLA.
That's the Canadian Civil Liberties Association for speaking up.
He was saying the ACLU sucked.
I tweeted him saying the CCLA sucked for a long time.
Pardon my language.
I did pardon your language.
I censored it a little bit.
That's a lot of sucking.
They are terrible.
They are 100% awful.
You're right, Jorgy Dorgi.
You were right to have done them.
Olivia, no, that's Olivia, our producer.
Hoghead V2, 20 bucks.
She rocks the truth.
Who's that?
Is it me?
I presume it's you, Sheila.
Maybe I do.
Johnston, 666, gives us 10 bucks.
David, can you please go see Patrick Brown soon and catch him doing something illegal again?
The entertainment value is awesome.
Thanks.
Well, you know, it's funny you should say that, sir, because in today's Toronto Sun, guess what?
There's a story about Patrick Brown.
Brampton Mayor has had his fill on carbon tax.
Oh, really?
Now, is this the same Brampton Mayor who in 2017 was the head of the PC Party of Ontario, whose first order of business becoming the leader of that party was to bring in a motion to have an Ontario carbon tax?
Isn't it amazing, Sheila?
And you know, the journalist that wrote this, why didn't he query Mayor Brown, his honor, his warship on that?
Why didn't this particular journalist, whose name I shall not mention, say, well, Mr. Brown, why were you pro-carbon tax in 2017?
And that was one of the things that led to his downfall in terms of the Palace coup.
And now in 2022, when we're nearing $2 a liter in gasoline, maybe Super Premium is out at that already.
Suddenly, he has his come to Jesus moment.
And yeah, let's freeze the carbon tax.
This guy, Sheila, that's not illegal changing your opinion.
But like I said, Patrick Brown is the kind of guy, folks, that he'll spit in your face and tell you it's raining.
Well, and like This article, if you actually pay attention to what Patrick Brown said versus the headline of the article, what he said was that he's not against the carbon tax, just that now is not the right time to raise it.
Not that we shouldn't raise it later or that we should get rid of it, which is the appropriate conservative position.
We don't tax, we don't add a tax to the necessity of life.
You may as well be, even we recognize that with the GST, right?
Like we don't tax certain food items because of that.
But this is a tax on existence.
And we shouldn't have that because of where we live and because of how useless it is.
But what Brown said wasn't that we should get rid of the carbon tax or that he's even against the carbon tax.
He said we shouldn't raise it right now.
Yeah.
That's really different.
And the shop is he's being polished to be the next leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, Barf.
Sheila, please tell me there's no possibility of that happening because if that does happen, Alberta will let it happen.
Alberta won't let it happen.
If it does happen, you're telling you, we will pine for the glory days of Aerono 2.
Okay.
But the fact of the matter is the April 1st installment of the next level of carbon tax is going to go in.
Justin Trudeau, the ideologue that he is, he's not going to even adopt that motion that even though we like carbon taxes in terms of reducing the carbon footprint and acquiescing to Greta Tunberg, now is not the time to do it.
No, he won't do it.
The gas is going to go up even more with another round of carbon taxes.
And well, what can I say, Sheila?
Remember, income tax was a temporary measure to fund the First World War.
More than a century later.
I also heard that someone would repeal the GST at some point if they ever got elected.
I think the liberals made that promise at one point, too.
So yeah.
Many, many years ago.
Many, many years ago.
I'm old enough to remember my mom's still ranting about that.
I come by it honestly, people.
I do.
Evidence Matters00:02:50
I think that's all, or those are all the chats.
And we're almost 20 minutes past the hour.
Right?
We are.
So, well, thank you to Miss Producer doing great work here.
Thank you to you, Sheila, and to all our viewers, especially those viewers that gave us some dole-ray me.
We really depend on that.
Tomorrow, there'll be another couple of rebels.
Sheila and I will be back next Tuesday.
And in the meantime, folks, stay sane.
You know, it's hard to find, it's hard to find these in Florida.
You got to look.
You got to look hard.
But, you know, if you know where to look, you can find them.
So I brought this, right?
So unfortunately, we have a country right now where most people, including, I mean, this is across the political spectrum, think that these things are saving lives.
So in medicine, in science, we have something called levels of evidence, okay?
And we've got our high-level evidence and lower levels of evidence.
And our highest level of evidence are clinical trials.
So to the doctors who tell you that these things save lives, ask them, ask them, you know, what did the two randomized clinical trials that we've done during the pandemic, what did they show?
Ask them that when they tell you that these things save lives.
One found nothing, zero benefit.
The other found a small benefit, like a tiny benefit that's, you know, that's a little bit methodologically shaky.
And by the way, none of them, none of them found a benefit in young people.
Not a single one found a benefit in young people.
That's the highest quality evidence.
That's what it showed.
Lower evidence is what the CDC likes to tout.
You know, shaky studies, shaky methods, finding 80% reductions in infection.
Give me a break.
I mean, come on.
Nothing that we're seeing in this country justifies that kind of conclusion.
So that's what the evidence shows.
And doctors who said that, who said that these things are not going to save your life, these things aren't going to end the pandemic.
These doctors, they got, you know, they've been kicked off of social media.
Like, these are facts.
They've had their licenses suspended, you know, because they didn't think that their clinical practices needed to do that.
I mean, that's crazy.
Good doctors who were brave enough to say what the science showed got punished.
And that's happening and it's still happening where people are still holding up the illusion that these things save lives.
