Calgary Police Chief Mark Neufeld calls weekly freedom rallies—peaceful for two years—"anti-democratic," citing conflicts with maskless protesters while ignoring Charter rights under Section 2. His framing of "professional protesters" on both sides is dismissed as contradictory, given police often facilitate marches and face FOI scrutiny over outdated dossiers like the "Kodak moment" remark. Meanwhile, Alberta’s oil surplus contrasts with federal subsidies for electric car factories, while Toronto’s refugee hotels suffer from documented squalor despite lax health responses. Legal challenges loom as Premier Jason Kenney’s inaction fuels frustration, exposing tensions between public rights and police overreach amid shifting protest dynamics.

You have tuned into the Rebel News live stream on this, a Thursday, March the 17th, 2022.
I'm David Menzies and my co-host.
Well, let me tell you a little about my co-host.
You know, she's my own personal pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, even on those days where there are no rainbows, which is most days.
She's the she-devil with a sword.
She is the Khaleesi of Northern Alberta.
She is Sheila Gunread.
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you, Sheila.
Thanks, David.
You too.
How come I'm the only one wearing green?
And it took a while to find the right shade of green that I could work in front of a green screen wearing.
Where's your green?
That doesn't look like green to me.
It's olive.
It's green.
You know what?
You're so right.
I have a beautiful green tie that I bought only for St. Patrick's Day, really.
And how could I have forgotten that?
I just, I just woke up in a daze.
So I apologize to all those of Irish descent.
This red, white, and blue ensemble has nothing to do with a slight against the good people of Ireland.
There you go.
I'm racist against my people, David.
You know, you celebrate?
Are you going to go do something later?
I'm not because I just feel exhausted for some reason.
And, you know, I think, you know, when you look at St. Patrick's Day, New Year's Eve, don't you find there's a bit of amateur hour attached to that, Sheila, that there's this compulsion.
You're a pro.
Oh, you're a pro.
I'm a pro.
Don't worry.
And, you know, and you know, it's amazing because even woke culture, political correctness, they've got their tentacles into St. Patrick's Day.
There was a school.
It was somewhere in New England.
I remember.
It was a few years back.
We did something on it.
And to make St. Patrick's Day more inclusive, they renamed it O Green Day.
So, O apostrophe, Green Day.
And I thought, you know, that's kind of an Irish thing, you know, the O apostrophe thing.
I mean, there's not a lot of O Muhammads in the world, right?
There's not a lot of O Schmidts in the world, right?
So they don't even know what they're doing, Sheila.
You know, they try to make something more inclusive and they make it just as exclusive as the original name was, which was never exclusive anyways, in any regard, because anyone.
There you go.
Yeah, we gotta get to get the fact that it's actually a Catholic day right out of there.
Here's the fun thing.
If you don't like St. Patrick's Day, you don't have to actually have anything to do with it.
You can just pretend it's, you know, March 17th, which it is, and just go about your business.
Why do you have to un-Catholic it and change the name?
You know, you're 100% right.
But there, I guess, are some occasions where that is the rationale, and there are others that have to be rebranded.
The most famous, I think, is Christmas, which is, you know, this special time of year, happy holidays, you know, dancing around that C word.
Don't Say The C Word00:15:20
We don't want to come out and say that C word in case anyone gets offended.
And you know what?
The funny thing is, Sheila, the non-Christians in my life are the very least offended people by saying Merry Christmas.
So again, it goes back to are these white virtue signaling liberals getting around a table, you know, fretting about a fix to a problem that doesn't exist?
Yeah, again, the supply of racism never quite meets the demand for racism.
I'm currently sitting through, well, I'm going through access to information documents, some from the CBC about their racial diversity quotas.
And there's more to the story, but I don't want to give the story away.
So stay tuned.
It might come out today or tomorrow, next day.
But also on the CBSA, so the Canada Border Agency, about their unconscious bias training.
Because even if you're not racist, you're racist, right?
Not only do the liberals tell you everything is racist when you're like, no, I'm pretty sure I'm none of those things, then it's unconscious bias.
So you're racist, but you don't know it.
So even if you're not thinking racist things or doing racist things, somewhere deep in your psyche, you're still racist.
You can't escape how racist you are.
And the solution for not being overtly racist or even, you know, passively racist is still anti-racism training because that's not a scam.
Who do they hire to consult in these reports, Sheila?
You know, the amazing Crescent, the Great Ravine, and assorted other mentalists who can read people's minds.
I mean, it's so staggering.
And these are the same people that say, at least in the last two years of COVID, follow the science, follow the science.
And then they revert to this voodoo, right?
Oh, you're not saying or doing anything racist, but I can, you got that look in your eye, Sheila.
You don't like a certain group, and I'm calling you out.
It's this neat little scam where it's like you create the racism problem.
Yeah.
And even if you're not racist, you're unconsciously racist.
So you're like, no, I'm not racist.
They're like, ah, that's exactly what an unconscious racist might say.
You know what we're going to do for you?
We're going to fix you.
So it's the same people shouting that everything is systemically racist that are selling the re-education programs to deal with the racism that isn't there, but they have to create the problem to get paid to fix the problem.
Neat little scam there, and every government is buying right into it.
Oh, unbelievable.
Well, Sheila, before we dither away, usually about this point in time, you tell the folks out there what the ostensible policy reason is of this live stream show.
Yeah, no, we only wasted seven minutes, which is like pretty decent.
That's average.
Sometimes it's 15 minutes before we even tell everybody what we're doing here.
So this is the Rebel News daily live stream.
It used to just be hosted on Friday, just hosted by Ezra LeMamp.
Then the pandemic struck.
There was more news than ever, but you could not count on the mainstream media to actually discuss that news because, frankly, they're subsidized to not talk about the news of the day.
But that's not us.
We thought since the news is breaking and changing every single day, one of the best ways to address the news is to sit down and talk about it as it happened.
So that's how the live stream expanded from just Friday to five workdays.
And Ezra is too busy running Canada's largest independent media company, most days, to sit down and do the live stream.
However, we have an excellent stable of hosts that run the show at least four days of the week.
Sometimes Ezra pops in, though.
So always make sure that you're watching because you never know when you're going to get a surprise from him.
This used to be a great way not only for us to interact with each other, but David, you look bored.
No, not at all.
But for our viewers to interact with us and support the work that we do completely willingly through something called a super chat on YouTube.
But Biden got elected, the masks slipped.
Big tech didn't have to pretend anymore and they demonetized us completely.
So there's no way for you to support us on YouTube.
And it's really only a matter of time before we're gone from YouTube altogether.
But we're staying there because they don't want us there.
However, we are also simultaneously broadcasting on other platforms, Getter.
We're live streaming on Getter.
I think this is the fourth week that we're doing that.
And we're also on Rumble, Odyssey, and Super U.
And all three of those free speechy platforms allow you to support the work that we do.
On Rumble, you can leave us a Rumble rant.
That's what they call their paid chat, and we will read it on air.
On Odyssey, you can leave us a hyper chat.
Again, that's their paid chat.
We'll read it on air.
You pay us, we'll say it.
And on Super U, it's a Super U shout.
So if you want to have your say, great.
Send us a paid chat.
We'll read it on air.
If it's a story idea, a question, a comment, maybe you don't like my tattoos, you don't like my hair, whatever, send it to me in a message.
I'll read it.
We leave the comments on.
Well, Sheila, thank you so much for that.
And, you know, the first topic on the docket here, I had to read it three times because I couldn't believe what I was reading.
The Calgary police are concerned.
The freedom rallies in that city are taking on an underlying anti-democratic angle.
You know, Sheila, the Calgary Police Service speaking about the pastor arresting maniacs at the Calgary Police Service.
Exactly.
The Taser drawing officers for the hockey player.
Those cats talking about anti-democratic angles to freedom protests.
It's kind of like, you know, the fox wanting to consult with the farmer for the design of a hen house.
I mean, are you kidding me?
These guys are a threat to democracy.
Sheila, what do you make of this?
Because what this is all about, of course, is that I don't know this district, but people in Calgary would.
Beltline and 17 Avenue.
The Calgary police are asking people to stay away.
We want our downtown to be a safe and welcoming place, and we need your help to make that happen.
Well, Sheila, these are peaceful protests.
And Sheila, tell me this.
Two years ago, would the Calgary Police Service have issued a tweet about, oh, I don't know, Black Lives Matter protests going to this intersection?
Would they be going, can you stay away?
Your presence is not welcoming here?
Give me a break.
Who is their communications person?
Because that was one of the most idiotic tweets I've seen come out of a police service.
And I pay attention to the UK police, where they brag about taking knitting needles off old ladies.
And I pay very close attention to the Ottawa police, which are terrible.
And their communications people are awful too.
And they should hang their heads in shame.
Sorry, can we just bring that tweet back up?
Because it's simultaneously hilarious and ridiculous all at the same time.
So we are asking people, anyone who intends to protest in the Beltline and 17th Avenue to stay away because we want our downtown to be safe and welcoming.
You can't tell people to stay away and then say that you want downtown to be welcoming.
Those things are opposites, you lunatics.
But this is a protest that has been.
I've been to it.
I covered it just about every week before Adam came on board with the company.
That's how long it's been going on.
It's peaceful every single week.
They've been marching for two years without incident.
Sure, maybe they might be getting a little bit tedious, but that's not illegal.
And you can be tedious in a public place.
That's fine.
Nobody, that's not something for the police to deal with.
The only time this even got a little frisky down there was when the anti-freedom protesters, I would call them the pro-lockdown protesters, showed up last week.
And the police, in their ineptitude, kettled everybody into the same intersection, which is a policing problem, not a protester problem.
I think they both have the right to be there.
But the only time this ever became a problem was when the pro-lockdown protesters showed up at, you know, and the demonstrators down there, it's 100 to one just about for freedom versus pro-lockdown protesters based on Sid's footage from last week.
And it was those, that little pocket of pro-lockdown, pro-government control people, they're the ones who caused all the problems.
Now the police, instead of saying, you know what, these guys have been doing this piece, you know, if this is, if democracy is first come, first serve, and I don't think it is.
But let's just concede that it is for the sake of argument here.
If it is first come, first serve, those people were there first being peaceful.
The anties can wait till they walk by.
That's the solution here, if that's the solution we have to go about.
Or the anti-freedom people, they could just behave themselves.
Oh, because that's all we're asking them to do.
This guy's my favorite, by the way.
Let's roll sound on this guy and rewind because he's excellent.
I love him.
These left-wing lunatics and they're so I just noticed I'm an openly gay conservative.
There's more blacks, Asians on our side than there is on their side.
Their diversity is they have every shade of light over there.
I'm proud to be a gay conservative.
I am not with these left-wing lunatics and they're making up facts and believing it without knowing any of us.
These, like, this is a hypocrisy here.
Antifa, I call them anti-fascist sets.
And can I ask you, do you have any inclination?
Like, what are they counter-protesting?
You know, they're protesting against freedom.
They do not like freedom.
Like, my message is, if you want to wear a mask, wear one.
You don't want to wear a mask, don't wear it.
They are promoting oppression, fascism, communism, authoritarianism.
That is the funniest thing here.
I want that guy to be the police chief of Calgary.
He's got more sense than Mark Neufeld.
Isn't he fantastic?
And Sheila, what is the mask rule in Alberta right now?
Wear one if you want.
Okay.
There are no mask rules.
So again, you can tell people's politics by the fact that they're wearing a mask outside.
If you want to wear a mask, wear a mask.
I don't care.
I feel a little bit sorry for you that you're still living in fear, but wear one.
I don't care.
I think that's generally everybody's opinion.
But don't force your politics, because that's what this is about, onto everybody else.
I don't understand.
Like the people are marching in the streets in Calgary because Alberta is still not free, because people have still lost their jobs because of the vaccine passport.
People cannot fly or take a train internally in our own country because of the vaccine passport.
There's a lot still to protest down there.
And in fact, actually, maybe we'll, I'm sort of springing this on our producers, but even in Alberta, where we are probably the most free place in the country right now, if you are symptomatic for COVID, which means the sniffles, but you test negative.
So even if you have a negative test, you are still legally required to isolate.
So you go under house arrest in the freest place in the if you have a cold and not COVID.
Unbelievable.
And we have a clip of the public health necromancer Dina Hinshaw saying that the other day.
So that's still a reason to protest.
Stuffed up nose for other reasons.
I may have a stuffed up nose for the rest of my life, but according to Dina Hinshaw, I'm supposed to be under house arrest.
Come and get me, Dina, by the way.
I'll be out and about.
I'll be touring around.
It doesn't matter.
Come and catch me.
I'm like a leprechaun.
It's St. Patrick's Day.
You'll never catch me.
But legally, in Alberta, I'm supposed to be isolating.
Well, indeed, let's see what the necromancer has to say.
Also, as a reminder, if you are symptomatic and test negative, you are still legally required to isolate until all symptoms are gone.
The COVID-19 assessment tool at ahs.ca/slash COVID screen is available to help determine what type of care is needed based on your symptoms.
Also, as a reminder, if you are symptomatic, can you even believe?
Like, you have a negative test, but you cleared your throat a little too aggressively in the Walmart, and you are legally required to go home and isolate.
Like I said, I have a congenital problem with my sinuses, so I constantly have a stuffed up nose or a runny nose.
And apparently, according to the Alberta government, I'm a scoff law by going to get groceries.
Unbelievable.
Sheila, clearly, I think these people just want this to go on, even if there is no science to support it.
And the reason why I asked her about the mask law, because in Ontario, on Monday, the mask law disappears.
And, you know, it's going to be very interesting starting on Monday when there's no legal requirement for most places, because if you're on public transit, hospitals, long-term care health, you'll still have to wear the mask.
But everything else, it's back to 2019.
It'll be interesting to see who still diapers up, you know, in the public square, because then you know what their politics are without even having a conversation, right?
I mean, and also, what I want to understand is that if the chief medical health officer has said, that's it, don't need the mask anymore.
Thanks for listening to me the last two years.
Well, then what makes the person still donning a mask?
Hotel Cesspool Complaints00:13:36
And by the way, you're free to do so.
I don't know why you'd want to, but still.
But what makes that person think, ostensibly, Sheila, that they know more about virology than the chief medical health officer?
Because for two years, we've been told these are the experts, follow them.
They know who's who in the zoo.
Yeah, maybe they're coming around to my way of thinking, though, but just on the other side, where I'm like, I'm pretty sure these people don't know what they're doing.
And I'm not altogether sure why I have to listen to them because they keep changing their advice all the time.
So this is just the flip side of the same coin, where they're looking at these people saying, you've changed your mind 20 times, but unlike me, they are content to live in fear.
So they're just going to now overreact in the other direction, where I'm always happy to overreact in the direction of freedom, I guess, is how I would describe that.
But this is just, I guess, it's a symptom of how little the public on both sides of the argument now trust our public health authorities because they just spent the last two years nuking their own credibility.
Yeah.
And Sheila, speaking of public health, and maybe Olivia can cue this up.
It was based on our visit to the Radisson last week, the infamous Radisson Toronto East Hotel.
I shouldn't call it Radisson.
It was deflagged several months ago.
The head office in Minnesota wanted nothing to do with this hotel.
But they are putting up refugees there on the taxpayer tab.
And we were there, that is to say, Isabel and I, just to do the victory lap.
People might recall that the employee there, David Strong.
Jeez, what a surname.
Radison Strangler, I call him.
Got triggered and decided he would physically assault us and try to vandalize our equipment.
And we won a $1,000 award from Small Claims Court.
It wasn't about the money, obviously.
It was about telling people out there, Sheila, because it happens far too often, quite frankly, that, you know, you might disagree with us.
That's fine.
But you can't cross that line of getting handsy with our people and our equipment.
That's just unacceptable and it's illegal.
And we will go after you in court.
But here's the thing.
We were there and I said, maybe what we should do, Isabel, is just do some screeters of the people that live there.
I'm not confident because I've done this in the past and nobody wants to talk.
They've been media trained, air quotes, not to speak to anyone with a microphone.
And then, and that was the case with the first four people we spoke to.
They had no comment.
And then the fifth one, this lady, Nora, oh my gosh, did she open up a window in terms of what's going on in that hotel?
And, well, I won't spoil it, but let's just say it is filthy.
It has infestations of bedbugs and cockroaches.
And the reason why I bring this up, Sheila, is that we have people walking into a store without a mask, getting fined $1,500, whatever it is.
And that's so, you know, so urgent for the city Toronto Public Health Unit.
We treat our fellow healthy citizens like they are cockroaches.
Yes.
And meanwhile, where there is a real health issue, and I think, Sheila, I think I speak for you in this, wherever you stand on the ideological scale of whether we should be bringing in refugee claimants or not, that's one thing.
The thing is, if you are going to bring them in, you have to give them the basic.
Treat them like human beings.
Treat them like human beings.
And folks, without further ado, let me throw to that video and just will you see the conditions at this Radisson hotel.
Shocking.
Deem Mr. Strong to be assaulting us and trying to damage our equipment.
But as we were packing up to go, we encountered a lady who is a resident of this hotel.
This hotel is basically exclusively for refugees and refugee claimants.
She's here from Lebanon, she told us.
She's with her three kids.
And man, did she paint a dire picture indeed about the conditions in this hotel?
Check out our interview with her.
Hi, ma'am.
How are you doing?
I'm living the life.
And living the life, eh?
Do you stay at this hotel, ma'am?
What do you speak about?
What do you want to speak about today?
Oh, I was just wondering what it's like to be here.
It's not for a human.
Pardon me?
It's not for a human.
It's not for a human.
No.
And ma'am, what is your name?
My name is Nora Kremley.
I'm Lebanese.
My age is 35 years old.
And you say you have three kids then, right?
Three, thirteen, and seven and six.
Two girls and boys.
Can you describe the conditions inside the hotel, ma'am?
It's too dirty.
It's two germs.
And the food, it's no one here can eat it, I think so.
You should cook for your kids.
Maybe sometime if you fight for your kids, you can cook in the washroom.
I was asking since I arrived here to deport with my three kids as I come safe.
I need few surgery in my face.
I need surgery, surgery, surgery here.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
Okay, and I'm not able to go back to my country.
I'm not able to have a house or rent or apply for my new PR again.
Okay, I wish someone to hear me.
I wish all the world to say sorry for my kids' life, how they're living.
That's life.
The cracker roaches jumping in the food.
Cockroaches in the food.
I have videos.
I have video approved.
I have all my body approved.
Wow.
Wow.
Good life.
Good life in Canada.
Anyone who would like to live that's my kids' life?
He would like to have that life for his kids inside Canada.
I have videos, my coffee inside of it.
Cracker Rochester.
When you complain about the dirt, the bugs, what do they say?
They tried to clean one time last year.
After when I saw the owner, I said, oh my goodness, that's you, your honor.
I said, outside, it's better and clean more inside.
Unbelievable.
If you see my face here, I have bad bugs.
I have blood bugs here.
Bad bugs too.
Yes, garbage.
People kniving each other.
Guns, crack, cocaine, smoking more stuff.
You don't need to be around people or kids, okay?
We had lockdown.
They offered the food in the garbage pan.
I said, what?
Yeah, in a garbage pan.
We will not die from only COVID.
We will have disease.
I wish to go back with my kids as I come because that's not life for my kids.
I need a few surgery and no one hearing that.
Not the human rights, how they're showing, not the kids' protector or the refugee or something.
They're dealing with me.
I don't know who I am, Canadian or refugee.
I don't know.
Personally speaking, I don't think there's any excuse in the 20th gross.
Yeah.
No, like you say, David, no matter where you fall down on the refugee issue or how this woman came to be inside of our country, maybe we could take some of the health cops off of the protester beat and deal with some of these disgusting places like this because I've seen the invoices.
The Canadian taxpayer is paying damn good money to these hotels and they should not look like this.
100% Sheila.
And I just think about, you know, the when it comes to your priorities, how misplaced they are in the city of Toronto.
We've had parks in the last two summers where the city officials have spray painted social distancing circles.
You can only have six in a circle and you must be social distancing.
They roped off the trees, remember?
Yeah, John Torrey turned Hyde Park during cherry blossom season into, you know, basically East Berlin, circa 1946, where everything was fenced off.
And meanwhile, there is this cesspool going on.
Now, we re see, and here's my theory.
And I have no way to prove it because, as you know, I did reach out to the hotel.
And folks, you got to watch the video.
It was the shortest interview in Rebel News history, I think.
It was, hello.
Yes.
Hi.
This is David Menzies Rebel News speaking.
Click.
My theory, Sheila, is this.
The occupancy is 100% at this hotel, right?
And you're probably getting, I'm guessing, full rack rate, and the government's paying it.
And you don't even have to market.
You don't have to promote yourself.
My feeling is: if I'm the owner of this property, why am I paying $1 for a fumigator to come in?
Why am I buying even cleaning products at Dollarama to get the filth off the walls?
Because that's just all money out.
I'm in a situation where it's money in.
I'm not in a competitive environment with other hotels anymore.
And that, but having said that, the city, which has a department called Toronto Public Health, you can't allow this to happen.
And now that you know about it, and it's been four days now since they've known about it.
My God, Sheila, talk about how the city and the bureaucracy in general operates at glacier-like speed, right?
And if you try to serve somebody a sandwich without checking their vax pass, they send the cops in that afternoon.
Pretend this place is an illegal barbecue restaurant.
Deal with it that way.
100%.
Yeah, then Eileen DeVille gets all the king's horses and all the king's men to come trotting into Adamson Barbecue.
Great point.
And yet here is a bona fide health issue.
You can't have that kind of vermin.
I mean, we're in a 21st century Western nation, Sheila.
This is completely unacceptable.
And I can't even get answers, but don't worry, folks.
That's not the end.
We're following up on this.
This was a cosmic fluke that we were in the right place at the right time when this lady came by and told us about all these conditions.
And it is unacceptable and it has to be altered for sure.
I'm just looking to see if you can report this as a COVID infraction through the tips line in Toronto.
And maybe they'll actually have somebody come out.
Reporting non-compliance, city of Toronto for COVID.
So you can report non-compliance.
They will send somebody out right away.
But this is allowed to go on.
And this is the most vulnerable amongst us, right?
Could you imagine that?
I might even do a gag phone call, Sheila, where I phone Toronto Public Health.
And yeah, it's about COVID compliance.
There are some cockroaches at the Radisson that are not wearing their masks.
They're not social distancing.
Social distancing.
Cockroaches are not social distancing from the children in the hotel.
The infestation is so bad, Sheila, that Nora told me this anecdote.
I can't get it out of my mind.
In which they ordered a pizza, they opened the lid to the pizza box, and a cockroach jumped from someplace, jumped right into the this is what this is how emboldened the vermin are there.
I mean, there's people there, the lights are on, and they're literally jumping into your food.
How is this acceptable?
It's not.
Who are the neighbors in the hotel, raccoons?
Like, why don't we just invite everybody in?
All the vermin.
I think, you know, if you had a few sweets with raccoons in it, they'd probably eat cockroaches.
They'd be the nicest rooms in the building.
I've never seen one.
I'd be fascinated by them, but I've never seen them.
They are beautiful animals.
They're smart animals.
They're so innovative.
And, you know, the thing about the Toronto raccoon, Sheila, it's a subspecies onto itself.
You know, it has learned to live off garbage.
It's like the way they hunt, it's like you and I going to the Mandarin Buffet.
They go from garbage can to garbage can.
Not that I'm saying that the Mandarin is garbage.
It's quite tasty food there, but what I'm saying, it's like a buffet.
He's in his letters.
He takes it back.
And they're bigger than a country raccoon.
They live longer.
They're fatter.
They have bigger litters.
And the scam of the century, I might have said this before.
You phone up the wildlife removal company.
And by law, they can only relocate the raccoon they capture 0.9 of a kilometer away.
By the way, isn't that so insane?
Why not just make it an even kilometer?
Why 0.9?
Bad Cops, Good Cops Debate00:16:20
And that's what happened, Sheila.
You think these smart animals, when you put them 900 meters away, you don't think they can find it back to their personal gravy train?
Unbelievable.
So they're beautiful, but they're so annoying.
I've watched several documentaries on raccoons because we don't have them here.
It's too cold for them.
I've never actually seen one in the wild.
And when, before the biomedical police state prevented me from going to Toronto, I would go out for my run.
I would wait till like dusk so that I would try to catch a raccoon so that I could come across a raccoon.
And everybody warned me that I should be kind of frightened of them because they're kind of aggressive if you come across them.
But I would go out looking for raccoons and I saw black squirrels, which we don't have here either.
Those were very fascinating too.
I took pictures to send them home to my kids.
It was like another world, Toronto.
But you have what gray squirrels there?
Red.
Red.
So why can't the what is so different about the physiology of a black squirrel compared to a red squirrel that a black squirrel can't inhabit inhabit Alberta, Sheila?
I don't know, but your black squirrels are enormous.
They're enormous.
Ours are like this big.
Anyways, I wanted to get back.
Thank you for that meander into complete nonsense, by the way.
What we do.
It's what we do.
I want to go back to the Calgary police because I just saw out of the corner of my eye two videos from Mark Neufeld, the pastor arresting absolute tyrant in Calgary.
That's the police chief there.
First one, I think it was, it's cut.
If you look, Olivia, if you look back in our chat thread, it was cut by Kian.
And it says, the chief says, anti-democratic group, that's what he's calling the freedom protesters.
An anti-democratic group is pushing the limits of section two of the charter.
That's your limit.
That's your free speech rights, your rights to protest, free association.
You know, all the things that you get to do in a free society.
Well, police state Mark Neufeld says that if you're out protesting, you're pushing it.
So maybe let's roll that if we have it.
I think these protesters are from the anti-democracy group are actually pushing the limits of section two of the charter.
And that's how we ended up seeing things like, you know, Freedom Convoy, Freedom Rodeo, Freedom Breakfast, this type of thing.
This is much different.
This is a different type of protest than we've seen in the past.
We thought they would stop and they won't.
And now they're articulating that basically we want to do whatever we want to do.
And so our job is to figure out how we sort of bring in Section 1, which is about placing reasonable limits on those abilities to protest in the interests of community safety and well-being.
So right.
Explain this to me, Sheila.
How is this group called anti-democratic by this police chief when their reason for being out there demonstrating is that they want their democratic rights and freedoms restored, not taken away?
What is his definition of anti-democratic?
Because it doesn't make any sense as far as what he just said there.
This guy is some kind of Orwellian maniac.
It's the same thing as saying we're trying to be welcoming by telling you people to stay away.
This is him saying, you know, like you're undemocratic for exercising your democratic rights.
And your crime here is peacefully exercising your charter rights.
So let's try to limit them.
And he's the guy calling other people undemocratic.
It is your right in a Western free democracy to protest the government peacefully, which is exactly what these people are doing.
It's exactly what they've been doing for two years.
And again, I reiterate, there has never been a problem, not one, until the handful of ragtag mask-wearing fascists showed up and said, get out of our community.
Well, they don't know where any of these pro-democracy, I'll call them, you know, the anti-lockdown people.
You don't know where they live, but I'm pretty sure Calgary is their community.
And you're allowed to roam freely around Calgary, by the way.
You don't have to stay in your quadrant.
You know, this isn't East Germany and West Germany.
This isn't East Berlin and West Berlin.
If you live in Calgary, if you live in Canada, if you live in Alberta, no part of Calgary is off limits to you.
Go roam, protest, be peaceful, and completely ignore Chief Mark Neufeld because he is a guy who thinks that it's democracy to go around arresting pastors and arresting Tim Stevens in front of his crying children and all these high-profile takedowns of Pastor Art Peloski for the crime of opening his church.
That's Mark Neufeld for you.
That's the guy who's now deciding.
Now, people say, Sheila, there's no such thing as a slippery slope, but there's a big snowball rolling down that hill and it's getting bigger and bigger.
And it started with the pastors and it started with the tickets at the anti-lockdown protests at the beginning.
And now they've decided you absolutely do not even have a right to protest in Calgary.
We are going to go out of our way to limit it.
That's what he said in that crazy statement.
I don't know how he's the mayor or the, he's not the mayor.
He's acting like the mayor, but she's worse than him.
But I don't know how this guy's a police chief.
I have no idea.
But if that guy in Ottawa can be a police chief, this guy can be a police chief too.
Give me the gay conservative.
He should be the police chief.
You took the words right out of my mouth, Sheila, in terms of forget about Chief Newfield.
Where do you feel where the mayor stands in on this?
She's all in in terms of, you know, she sent a letter to the police commission asking for increased enforcement.
First, she says, oh, you know, there's a separation between police and council, and we can't direct them to do things.
But let me send a letter to the police commission telling them to direct the police to do things.
What a joke.
What a joke.
Exactly.
This is, I mean, I think, you know, we're going to have very busy lawyers over at the Democracy Fund, I think, coming out of Calgary.
And where's Jason Kenney on this?
Again.
Again, this police chief is acting like he's the police chief of Hong Kong, preventing protests.
This is Calgary.
This is, you know, strong and free.
That's our motto, not strong and reasonably limited, according to Mark Neufeld.
Unbelievable.
Well, Sheila, moving on.
No, we have one more.
We have one more clip from Mark Neufeld.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Okay.
He says, this is one that just got cut.
I see Yankee posted it.
Calgary police say there are professional protesters on both sides of the city's recent demonstrations, putting his officers in a no-win situation.
And Yankee says this video that he clipped here mentions rebel news.
Huh?
Let's see.
Not talking about, you know, the homogenous group, because I would suggest to you that both groups are anything but homogenous.
We've heard stories that, you know, the residents are out there and these are all residents of the belt line.
That is not the information that I have.
I certainly would agree that there's residents of the belt line and maybe business owners participating due to their frustration, and that would be understandable.
But there are also professional protesters out there as well.
There are people out there who want to promote conflict here, and they would do anything to get their Kodak moment and to get their post.
And that goes for the other side, too.
I would suggest to you that this was a damned if you do and damned if you don't know win for the police, because the bottom line is if they ended up having to use any force against the one side, of course, you know, we know how that turned out, right?
They're targeting and they're supporting one side and not the other.
If there was force used against the other side, which there has been in previous protests too, may I remind you, then we hear that our officers are Nazis and this type of thing.
And this gets all over the right side, rebel media and freedom and that sort of thing.
So, and that's okay.
Nobody is suggesting that, you know, the police shouldn't be subject to that sort of criticism.
We all know how that works.
But the reality of it is there was no winning on this one.
And when you get two groups coming together like this who seem to be pitted on having conflict, there is going to be no win.
How dare we show the world how he's behaving?
How dare we show the world how they treat pastors and drag them away in front of their kids or arrest them on wet city streets like they're El Chapo?
How dare we?
You know what?
I know Mark Neufeld is watching, and I think you're terrible.
How's that?
You know what else, Sheila?
I couldn't help but notice his use of the phrase Kodak moment.
Maybe there's like two generations of people that have no idea what the hell he just said.
It's basically this, folks.
Kodak used to be a Fortune 500 company.
It made film developing paper.
And then things like this came along and Kodak went away.
But obviously, this guy's still stuck in the early 90s or something like that.
But yeah, what do you make of his reference to us, Sheila?
Was he trying to demean us in a certain way, do you think?
Well, I think so.
Now, I've never called the cops Nazis.
However, Pastor Art Poloski has, and I think he might be the only person I think could get away with that given where he comes from in Poland and his treatment at the hands of Calgary City police.
He does call them Nazis.
He does call them fascists.
But I don't think we've ever said that.
Now, you can tell that he's touchy because we often treat the police's behavior like wildlife photography.
We stand back and we just let them do their thing.
And oftentimes it's awful.
Now, sometimes the cops are great.
And, you know, even at these freedom protests, they walk by, they thank the cops for blocking traffic so that they can go past.
So to say that there's an adversarial relationship with the cops at these freedom protests, completely not true.
But you can tell Mark Neufeld is touchy because we have been critics of bad cops in Calgary, in Ottawa, wherever there are bad cops, we're going to call them out because I think it's incumbent on us to call out the bad cops because the bad cops are trading on the reputations of the good cops to get away with the things that they do.
And I think that's gross.
And so Mark Neufeld, he's got a problem with bad cops doing bad things.
And that's not me.
That's not a me problem.
That's a Mark Neufeld problem.
And he shouldn't be mad at us because we expose it.
He should be dealing with it.
And, you know, and that's very important to note, Sheila, that no matter what the police service is, well, with maybe the exception of the Montreal Police Service, I don't know if there's any good cops there, but I digress.
But there are good cops.
And I can tell you my last visit to Ottawa for the Freedom Convoy, when I bumped into a fellow off-duty RCMP in plain clothes.
I'm not going to give his name, of course.
It would be a career-limiting move.
But he came out to me and he said, what happened to me in December in Toronto with his fellow officers who were part of Justin Trudeau's henchmen brigade?
He has never been more embarrassed to be a member of the RCMP.
It just blew me away.
So yeah, you can't paint them all with the same brush.
But when you see a guy like this chief and what he says, that's really disturbing because, well, he's the chief.
Yeah.
I wonder the size of the file he has on our journalists in Calgary.
You know?
I'm very curious about that.
Well, you remember, you know, and in case people think, oh, listen to Sheila, you know, what a conspiracy nut.
No, as we discovered two years ago, when, what was it called, Afro-Indigenous Rising occupied illegally Nathan Phillips Square, turned it into a tent city sewer.
What we discovered in our Freedom of Information request later, folks, was that they were compiling a dossier.
No, not on the squatters, not on the people using drugs, not on the people defecating and urinating on public square, but on us right down to weight, eye color.
It was like, you know, Sheila was absolutely surreal.
And by the way, how with a, with a Zoom lens, how can you estimate somebody's weight?
I think there were some very upset people with their guesstimates of what they weighed.
You seem pretty touchy about it, honestly.
Getting back to your, before we move on to chats, because it's, we have 14 minutes left in the show.
Getting back to your point about the good cops, my problem with bad cops and bad police chiefs and bad leadership is that the good cops quietly leave the force because they can't say anything while they're in the force.
And they get demoralized.
They say, this isn't what I signed up for.
I don't want to work with a bunch of idiots that I don't trust to have my back.
And I don't trust the chief.
The chief isn't upholding civil liberties.
So they just quietly retire.
They take early retirement.
They make a lateral move into private security or whatever.
They just go on to other things.
And I think everybody knows a cop like that.
I know I do.
And that leaves only the bad guys on the force.
That's my problem.
You're so right.
And Sheila, the number of times when I want a cop to be a whistleblower and I get this speech, which is essentially, Dave, I'm four years away from retirement.
After that, I'll look you up.
We'll sit down over a coffee.
I'll let you know everything you know.
But to even talk about this right now would get me fired.
So even when they're agents for change, is what I'm getting at, Sheila.
It can be career limiting for them.
Yep.
And but they can take a knee at Black Lives Matter.
That show of political support is perfectly fine.
You can take a knee in support of an avowed Marxist organization that is against the traditional family.
That's perfectly fine because it aligns with Justin Trudeau's values.
And so naturally, it aligns with your political police chief's values.
That's fine.
But if you say something like, I'm not sure that I should be cracking the heads of these peaceful protesters, you are on unpaid leave.
Yeah.
And don't forget, Justin Trudeau himself took a knee, which is kind of odd, Sheila, because essentially he is the prime minister of the Dominion of Canada.
So when you're taking the knee as prime minister, you're taking the knee against yourself, right?
Yeah.
Like when these liberals won't shut up about systemic racism, and I'm looking at them like, you guys are the system.
This is the system you built, and you're currently in charge of the system.
If it's systemically racist, change it.
But they just, this is what they do instead.
Update On Calgary Office00:05:43
And I would argue it's not systemically racist.
I mean, it is.
In the Liberal Party, it definitely is because you can do blackface multiple times and still be the prime minister.
So call me crazy, but I feel like that's systemic racism a little bit.
A little bit.
You know, you just nailed it again, Sheila.
Wouldn't the question of the day have been for the mainstream media, but they never ask a question like this.
Mr. Prime Minister, in you taking a knee in support of Black Lives Matter, are you also denouncing those persons that shall be remained nameless who put blackface on them to mock black people?
That never gets to that lady.
She definitely had a black handprint on her chest for sure.
And she lives in South Carolina, and both I and Kiam Bexte at the time, we went down there.
And for whatever reason, she would not come on camera and talk about that.
But yeah, we tried to track down the people that were at that event that I think people are just terrified to speak ill about him.
For sure.
I mean, we saw what they did to a CBC reporter when he asked the deputy prime minister, Christian Freeland, about, you know, isn't this just sort of a stupid photo op?
Like, don't you have things to be dealing with at home?
I'm paraphrasing here.
But it was a completely fair question.
Totally.
Because even after the fact, you see these like highly produced campaign-style ads about Justin Trudeau on his European junket, where I'm pretty sure they didn't actually do or say anything of value.
He asked a good question, and he's from the CBC.
He's one of them.
And they just basically ate him alive for two days and accused him of working for the rebel.
And so I don't know.
He must be new.
We're taking applications all the time, friends.
So if you get tired of working inside the machine, work against it.
Well, Sheila, I see we have less than 10 minutes to go.
So do you have some chats for us, my friend?
I do.
Okay, so we've got G Melinda G60 sends us a chat, five bucks.
I think this is American money because she says, Rebel News is awesome.
My very favorite news source and I live in Texas.
Oh, what a great state that is.
Yeah, I think the Houston Rodeo just wrapped up, did it not?
Fun.
Did I ever tell you about the time I was at Smokey Lake?
Yep.
You had fun when you were in Alberta.
You had to pick trash to pay off a fine and you did yourself on two days.
Yep.
Alberta memories.
We try to break you.
That's basically what we do.
Oh, you succeeded.
Believe me.
AMT60 gives us a buck.
It says, I'm racist against anyone in the World Economic Forum, our prime minister, and politicians that are for the lockdowns, mandating the deathly vaccines.
I'm just reading the chat, YouTube, so just don't nuke us.
And public health doctors refusing public debate on the science with real Canadian doctors.
Kane and Mark gives us two bucks.
Hi there, David.
It's BLM are the ones blocking 17th Ave in Calgary.
Oh, probably.
And as our gay conservative in that video pointed out, they are several different shades of white.
Absolutely.
Incredible, isn't it, Sheila?
Oh, he was so funny, that guy, though, when he said they're antifa.
I like to call them anti-fashion sense.
Oh, by the way, someone asked for an update.
Speaking of Calgary, an update on our Calgary office.
I know we're getting quite a few emails about our Calgary office.
And friends, we do have something pretty serious in the works.
And as soon as we're able to give an update, we will.
But do not think that we are not working feverishly on a Calgary office.
And as soon as we have some very concrete things to tell you about, I promise we will.
But very exciting things are happening in the background.
It's certainly a good time to buy Calgary real estate, isn't it, Sheila, and Alberta Real Estate?
And you know what?
That's kind of a bittersweet news item because the reason it's a good time is due to our federal energy policies regarding pipeline development, leases, carbon taxes, what have you.
We have all that mineral wealth underground in Alberta and can't get it out.
It is, it's shocking.
It is a good time to buy right now in Alberta because unlike the rest of the country, war and high gas prices, that is good for us.
And so we're actually in a budgetary surplus after, I don't know, eight years of economic catastrophe.
So that's a budgetary surplus, even with the revolving door of lockdowns and shutdowns and all those things, because the price of fuel is so high, the price per barrel of oil is high.
So we are going to see, I think, real estate prices go up and up and up because we are recovering and pretty quickly.
And I think Jason Kenney's counting on that.
Shauna Marie, G83, a buck.
I just received an email from Belinda Carajalios, which included a link to a petition to stop Bill 67 and critical race theory in our schools at stopwoke.ca.
Deion Buse's Smug Face00:04:39
Please sign and share.
And on that note, Shauna, our colleague Dakota did a sit-down interview with Belinda on that.
You might want to get on to our website and check out that interview.
It was really good.
Yeah.
He's got such a great broadcasting voice, and it's just natural to him.
Strange.
I can be shrill.
G. Melinda G, 60, gives us two bucks.
You're trying to make me pray for no rainbow.
We can't lose our leprechaun.
And then she sends us some shamrocks.
Paul Otto Newman, five bucks.
Does Rebel plan to cover the April 9th, yes, we do, leadership review live?
I'm not sure if we're going to do it live, but we will have our Calgary team at the leadership review.
It would be great to see Ezra back in Alberta covering what I think could be history in the making.
Again, biomedical police state has prevented that.
But we will have our Rebel team in Calgary for, or I think it's Red Deer actually for that.
So I know Adam's attending.
I think K2 is attending.
I might take a Poke on down too.
That might be fun to see what's happening there.
And just, it will definitely be counter-protested by the public sector unions, as they always tend to do at the UCP AGMs.
And I think last time I was punched in the back by a man.
Wow, that's nothing to laugh about.
Do you remember that, though?
I was outside with Kian Bexty in the counter protest, and a man punched me in the back.
You know, I'm always shocked, Sheila, by this: the sheer entitlement that I don't like what you're saying, so I have carte blanche to break the law.
That's assault.
And how did that story end, by the way?
Did we ever find out who that was?
No, because it was like minus 30.
So he had his face all covered up.
And everybody really looks the same at minus 30 because it's like toque, this much of your eyes are showing Bella Clava.
And he was a guy.
And so he was, you know, about 5'10.
Every guy is about 5'10.
And so he just sort of ran off into the crowd.
And CTV had their journalists literally five feet from me.
They were, I was on the sidewalk and they were sitting in their vehicle warming up, running, idling.
And the two of them were sitting right there and they saw it all happen.
And they didn't say anything.
They didn't even like roll down the window a crack to go, hey, are you okay?
Nothing.
Like nothing.
They didn't do anything.
They just pretended like it didn't happen.
They didn't see it.
It was nothing.
And you know, the fact that he's a five foot 10 man, what if we, you know, had an alternate universe situation here, Sheila, where in this universe, you are a six foot six man.
Do you think that little coward is going to dare punch you in the back?
You know, but you're female.
You're an easy target.
That's him being, you know, a big shot, a tough guy.
And like I said, go up to somebody.
This is a different thing.
This is a different time.
It's a different time I was punched by a man at work.
Oh, my goodness.
How is old Deion Buse doing, Sheila?
I don't know.
I hear, according to the CBC, that his boutique guitar business is doing well because people during the pandemic picked up hobbies.
But I often think about, you know, if I turned around and grabbed that guy at the union protest outside of the AGM and just throttled him one, or if I grabbed Deion Bugs by his little face and just cranked him one, sure, I could have done it, you know.
But then what?
Then what's the story?
Rebel news journalist assaults protester.
And the fact that both of them punched me, that would never make the news because as you can see, the mainstream media for both of those events were right there.
And For with Deion Buse, they didn't even produce images that they took of the assault until we said, Canadian press, we can literally see your photographer taking pictures of the assault on Sheila in her video footage.
Where are those images?
Electric Vehicles Debate00:06:49
Then all of a sudden, they produce them after they say, Oh, we don't have anything useful.
Same with CTV.
They're sitting in their car watching me get punched in the back by a man, and they just were like, oh, blinders on.
So the only story that would come out was, oh, Rebel News reporter gets violent with protester.
Yeah, that's how they would spin it.
I have no doubt.
Any more chats there, Sheila?
There's a few.
I'm just thinking about how much fun it would have been to punch Deion Buse right in his smug little face.
Anyway, but I didn't.
I didn't because I don't believe in political violence, although I do believe in self-defense.
Okay, let's keep going.
G. Melinda G, 60 bucks.
Or sorry, G. Melinda G60 gives us two bucks.
I think I read something in 2020 where the Spanish flu, more people died because of the mask, bacterial pneumonia.
I think somebody named Anthony Fauci and two other people maybe signed that.
I'm not sure, but what I do know is one of the remedies for the Spanish flu was going outside and getting some fresh air.
And it's interesting because with the coronavirus pandemic, they're like, no, stay inside.
Don't do anything.
Don't get any sunlight.
Don't get any fresh air.
No vitamin D for you from the sun.
Just, you know, Netflix and chill and get diabetes from ordering in all the time for your health, you see.
Jet Lass gives us two bucks.
Ford and Trudeau opening electrical car factories, new schools, hospitals, no one can use, and sanctionary hotels costing a mint.
Only our tax dollars are going to work.
But hey, us, truckers are the problem.
Yeah.
Good point.
Yeah.
They're still just so crazy about electric cars.
Like they're just giving money to the car manufacturers to build them.
They're giving money to people to buy them.
And still, I think they're like at 2%.
I mean, you're doing your part, but I think it's like 2% of the Canadian population or of car sales, I think, are electric.
And I think most of those are governments buying the cars to prove a point.
Well, according to Elizabeth May in an interview in Toronto a few years ago in which she was unchallenged, every second car on the streets of BC is a Prius, a Toyota Prius.
Remember that one?
So that's 50% of the car inventory in BC are Priuses.
And I think when I reached out to an auto analyst, Dennis DeRozier, it was actually, I think, maybe less than a percent of the cars, but oh, well, she was just over by 49%.
Listen, I have, I have nothing against electric cars and plug-in hybrids and what have you.
But this business of government subsidies, because if they are so good and if there is demand, they should sell themselves, especially now that here in Toronto, we're seeing the benchmark approaching of $2 a liter gasoline.
So that particular plant, that was the Honda plant in Alliston, I believe.
I think it was a $1.4 billion check to Honda.
And they made great automobiles at that Honda Canada plant.
I think my cousin used to work there.
Oh, is that right?
Okay.
But does Honda, I mean, are they on death's doorstep financially?
No, they're very successful.
Yeah.
That's right.
Because, you know, usually that I was only mentioning that, Sheila, because typically with Chrysler and GM, that's the benchmark to get money, right?
And, but, you know, I'm sure Honda is in a position where they can do this themselves.
And I know that is a very successful automaking plant with the regular cars they're making there.
And here's some, here's a fun fact for you, Sheila.
Non-union plant.
And every time they try to unionize it, it always fails.
Yeah.
I think that's why my cousin worked there.
Yeah, it's funny because you see, again, I don't want to give too much of the stories that I'm working on away, but I'm currently going through the list of cars driven by the ministers and the deputy ministers and department heads.
And so these aren't their limos.
These are the cars that are owned by the taxpayer that the public puts the gas in and pays the maintenance on and the ministers drive.
These are basically their personal vehicles that are paid for by the taxpayer.
I think out of a list of 75 vehicles, 10 of them maybe were cars.
Everything else was a practical SUV, the kind they tell me is killing the environment.
And only one was electric.
It was a Chevy Volt.
So I hope they have a fire extinguisher on board because I think those had a problem with setting on fire.
And Sheila, not only are they big SUVs, typically Chevy Suburbans, like you said, there's typically with Justin Trudeau's entourage, seven of them.
And wherever they go, they never kill the engine, right?
So, and idling emissions are the worst kind of emissions if you're going to compare a car idling to a car on the highway, for example.
But here we have these humongous SUVs with V8 engines constantly idling.
And for what reason?
In case you have to make a quick getaway?
Like, seriously?
How much time is the list of cars that I'm going through?
These aren't even their entourage vehicles or their limos or their town cars or anything where they get driven around.
These are the ones that they choose for the taxpayer to pay for.
And I think that's important because when given the choice, even they don't choose an electric vehicle.
They don't.
They choose a Toyota Highlander or, you know, one of the cars was the Chrysler 300, but it was the all-wheel drive one.
So, you know, like they're not choosing little cars.
They're choosing SUVs, Subarus.
That's what they're choosing.
Only one was a Chevy Volt.
And again, I reiterate, I hope whoever that is, I hope they have a fire extinguisher on board.
Did I freeze up?
Oh, Sheila, are you frozen?
I think you are.
Well, folks, all I can say is that we're already past one o'clock.
Sheila is frozen somehow.
For those of you.
Back From Freeze00:03:30
I'm back.
Oh, you're back?
Okay, then.
I'm back.
I'm back.
Sorry, Starlink is letting me down a little bit.
But it's still better than whatever I had before.
Okay, we've got Super Chat from Joyful from the Heart, a buck.
Hi, Sheila and David.
I sent the link below about reporting vaccine injuries.
I believe it's legit as an anti-jab physician friend shared it.
Can you check it out?
Yeah, the link you sent me is for vaccineinjurysupport.ca, the English version.
And this is a program funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada and administered by RCGT Consulting Inc.
I wonder what that contract is worth.
By the way, I should pull that.
What is that?
RCGT Consulting.
I'll see if I can find that.
I'm just curious how big of a program this needs to be to report vaccine injuries, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada.
If it's enormous, that tells me that there's a big problem here.
Yeah.
Good point.
And Scott, not to tease, gives us five bucks.
The pro-lockdown guys in Calgary carry signs like no hate and read a book.
I carry a sign telling them to read three of the books I've read: COVID-19 and the Global Predators.
We are the Prey is the first.
Yeah, they always have signs like, what is it?
Hate has no home here.
What does that even mean?
Are there people out there who are like, no, hate, excuse me, hate?
And you need a place to stay for tonight?
Come on in.
Like, it's just so dumb.
It's just empty virtue signaling.
Sheila, in the last five years that I've been reporting on the field with these anti-felite groups, the people that have love Trump's hate signs, they are the most hateful people I've ever encountered.
They are unable.
They are unable to answer a fair question without profanity, without lunging at the camera.
They're full of hate.
You know, they talk a mean game.
Yeah.
I think actually, Olivia, unless we have anything left, I think we're all caught up now and it's eight minutes past the top of the hour.
All right.
Well, thank you so much to all those who contributed with a super chat.
That's how we keep the lights on here.
I think tomorrow another rebel will be here, maybe even Ezra.
He's been popping in on the Odd Friday.
So there's a happy St. Patrick's Day note for you.
And I want to thank Olivia and Ephryn behind the board.
And of course, my co-host Sheila.
We will be back, Sheila and I, next Tuesday.
In the meantime, folks, stay sane.
At certain other periods of time and for reasons that only these folks could explain to you, they were going to places like Chinook Mall and protesting inside when there were public health restrictions on.
Now we've seen the movement from Stephen Avenue to a march route over to 17th Avenue.
And so this has continued to evolve.
We're dealing mostly with people on foot, large crowds of people on foot.
And I think at the Edmonton protests, they were dealing with smaller numbers of people on foot, but I think as high as 680 vehicles involved, honking horns and this type of thing.
So a bit of a different police response required.
So I can tell you that we're certainly looking at our response to the situation as it is now, but recognizing that it's been evolving throughout.
So we'll need to be agile enough to continue to evolve with it.
But I can tell you the greatest challenge in relation to it is that, again, protesting is de facto legal.
