David Menzies and Sheila Gunn Reed critique Ottawa’s Rolling Thunder protest crackdown, where 800 RCMP officers enforce a "zero tolerance" policy for motorcycles—even idling—while dismissing 97% of brutality complaints internally. They compare it to the Freedom Convoy’s mislabeling as violent and question media bias favoring CBC over independent outlets like Rebel News, citing Trudeau’s unaddressed fraud allegations and Ontario’s Bill 100 "guilty first" approach. Frustrated by selective enforcement, they mock CBC’s taxpayer-funded operations, suggesting its Toronto headquarters could fund itself instead, while highlighting absurdities like foreign nurse hiring amid vaccine mandates. The episode underscores systemic distrust in police-media narratives and conservative voices being sidelined. [Automatically generated summary]
You have tuned into the Rebel News live stream on this, a Thursday, April 28th, 2022.
I'm David Menzies and my co-host.
Well, let me tell you a little bit about my co-host, folks.
Do you know today is National Superhero Day?
And this friend of mine, she is my own personal Wonder Woman.
Would you believe Power Girl?
She is a she-devil with a sword.
She is the Khalacy of Northern Alberta.
She is Sheila Gunn Reed.
How you doing there, Sheila?
Oh, David, I'm doing great.
This must be a very special day for you, National Superhero Day.
You're really into superheroes and things like that.
Actually, I hate to put the team on the spot, but the other day we took a clip from the live stream.
And I don't know if you saw this, David, but we did a little treatment to it about your love of the Batmobile car.
Maybe we can find that since it is National Superhero Day.
Because, you know, you, if you win the lottery, you told me you would buy the Batmobile for Lady Menzies.
It's a Batmobile, not one of the original five Batmobiles, of which I think three are still in existence.
Oh, there is a company, I think it's shuttering soon, and they've got five performance Batmobiles left.
It's in Indiana, I believe.
It's called Fiberglass Freaks.
They're officially licensed by DC Comics.
They have five remaining, I believe, performance Batmobiles, 300,000 U.S.
So a lot of money to live out a fantasy.
But yeah, you know, Batman is my kind of hero.
As the saying goes, Sheila, he's not the superhero we want, but he's the superhero we need.
And I think when it comes to you, we talked about this.
There you go.
Look at that.
Isn't that that is a We could just get you the shirt though while we wait for the lottery winnings to come in I think they give you the shirt when you buy the performance Batmobile just hand out the least they could do But that is an absolute letter perfect replica of the George Barris Batmobile that was on the TV show from I believe 66 to 68.
Look at that.
It is my favorite Batmobile of all time.
It's street legal, which is very important.
And I'm telling you, just to some days, Sheila, I get so frustrated.
I just feel like donning a bat suit, cruising down Young Street looking for troublemakers and displaying.
You need your electric car?
No, that's why I need the Batmobile.
And let me tell you this.
In the world of exotic vehicles, I mean, there are Ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLaren's, but you know, in Toronto, in certain areas, those are, you know, literally a dime a dozen for the rich folk.
You drive down the boulevard or go on the 401 with a replica Batmobile.
Everybody is turning heads.
And, you know, Sheila, every Batman needs a Robin.
Come over to Toronto.
We'll put you in that little Robin suit.
Robin was a female character in the Dark Knight Returns graphic novel.
So there you go.
Canada Post's Boring Cooper00:08:46
But I think your superhero, Sheila, I think we discussed this because it's so politically incorrect now.
I think maybe they've redesigned her costume, but it's the huntress because A, she hunts down the bad guys with a bow and arrow.
Doesn't care if she kills you, unlike Batman with his aversion to guns.
And she also wears a cross, although I think they don't draw her with that anymore.
And is that not the ultimate Sheila Gunread superheroine?
Yeah, it's a little more on the nose than people are like, oh, Sheila, She-Ra, Princess of Power.
Oh, there, there, you're done.
I'm like, I'm pretty sure.
Yeah.
There you go.
Okay.
Because you have a bow and all.
You got to work out a little harder.
Yeah, I have a little harder.
Oh, don't we all?
Yeah.
So get the Huntress costume.
And if things go, and by the way, I should, this is directly linked to cars, Sheila.
You know, the bailiwick of this show sometimes is the human condition.
And I am being grotesquely outvoted by the staff here at Rebel News headquarters.
Our wonderful newish employee, Isabel, who does camera work on some of my assignments.
We were coming back last week and she looked at a sage green Mini Cooper and she wanted that.
And I said, you know, if I won the lottery, I would buy you that.
And I said, hey, you know what?
It's up to $60 million today.
Give me the seven numbers.
And if I win, I will buy you a Mini Cooper John Cooper Works, which is, I think, more than $60,000 off the lot.
I told this to Lady Menzoid, she freaked out.
She says, you can't just give her a car.
You have to buy her a house, too.
Okay, she lives in the beach, so that's another $2 million.
So I'm already under $58 million.
Lady Menzoid is always excellent at spending my money.
And here, lo and behold, so here's the ticket.
I bought it.
I got the seven numbers from Isabelle.
Do you know what, Sheila?
Not only did it not win, not one number came up.
So I asked Isabel, I think fair is fair.
You should give me the $5 I had to spend.
What do you mean, oh my God?
So cheap.
You know, as we go on, anyone doing super chats, I want you to weigh in.
Are you on my side?
It was all give-give for me.
Isabel didn't contribute a nickel.
She only gave me numbers.
All of the numbers were dead dogs with fleas.
And I think I should get my $5 back because this ticket is firewood.
Oh my lord.
You are so cheap.
We're so cheap.
If that had won, you were just going to give her like a pittance.
No.
Because it lost, you want everything?
If it won the 60 million, she was getting a Mini Cooper John Cooper Works in Sage, which I think is a special color order, and a $2 million house down in the beach.
Yeah.
For nothing.
No investment.
You know, I think I should at least get my five bucks back.
What do you think, folks?
Oh, my goodness.
Send a super chat.
Tell David that he is completely irrational.
The cheapness is just infesting his mind.
I mean, whatever.
Anyways, we should tell everybody what we're doing here because we are seven minutes into the show.
We haven't done that.
There's a lot to talk about.
And then we do want to show Drea's excellent Mother's Day video because we want to let everybody know about a special promotion we have going in the store today.
But we'll do that in a second.
So that'll give you guys in the office a chance to key that up for us.
So this is Rebel News Daily Live Stream.
Gives us a chance to talk, obviously unscripted, if you've stayed with us the last eight minutes about the news of the day.
You know, what isn't the news of the day?
But you definitely do get to know us a little bit better.
For example, I think we're all learning a lot about David Menzies this last eight minutes.
But it gives you a chance to support the work that we do completely willingly.
So we are streaming on YouTube.
You can watch us on YouTube.
But there are things that we cannot talk about on YouTube.
So if you are watching us on YouTube, just know we will, or we could cut the feed there.
We would encourage you to watch us on other platforms that don't care about your politics, like Getter.
We're currently streaming on Getter, but we're also on Rumble, Odyssey, and Super U.
And the beauty of those three platforms is, again, they don't care about your politics, but they also give you a chance to support the work that we do completely willingly, unlike what they do with the mainstream media, just reaching into your family's wallet and handing it to Rosie Barton or whoever, whatever unconsequential, inconsequential journalist that you don't care about.
Andrew Coyne.
That guy.
Boring.
Holy cow.
Most boring man on the planet.
It looks boring.
Some people are so boring that they're interesting again, like Ben Stein.
But no.
Yeah.
No.
Not Andrew Coyne.
Anyway, so at least Ben Stein gives away his money, right?
That makes it kind of like me with that lottery ticket, if it had won.
But anyway, off of the lottery tickets.
Anyways, let's finish what we're talking about here.
So, Super U, you can leave us a Super U shout and we'll read it on air.
On Odyssey, you can leave us a hyper chat.
That's their paid chat.
There's a couple different ways to do that.
And again, we'll read it on air.
And on Rumble, you can leave us a Rumble rent.
Again, you give us one of those.
That's your chance to have a say.
And we'll read it on air.
And that is everything that we need to do to tie up the loose ends.
I want to tell everybody about the special promotion that we have going in the Rebel News store.
Really easy, rebelnewsstore.com.
We have a special Mother's Day promotion, and I want to tell you about it because there's only a couple days left.
Because I think if you want to get your stuff before Mother's Day, you probably want to order before the end of the month because we rely on Canada Post and you know how that is.
The government mail.
Actually, Sheila, if I may, I think I call him as I see him.
I think mail delivery in Canada via regular Canada Post mail has never been faster.
And I'll tell you why.
So few people are actually sending letters.
When I go to my mailbox, it's virtually all junk mail, or as Canada Post calls it, admail, but nobody else calls it that.
So I find my letters these days because, I mean, back in the 70s when the Canada Post Union held Canadians hostage by having a just in the 70s.
Just in the 70s.
But not so much anymore because they dare not, you know, throttle the last remaining letter users because we're living the day and age of at least email.
So I think it gets around pretty quick these days, not by design, but just by the way technology has morphed.
I can watch my parcels because you know how you can track your stuff online.
I can watch my parcels end up in Sherwood Park at the main depot.
So they'll come out of Edmonton.
They'll end up in Sherwood Park.
Then they'll stay in Sherwood Park.
Then they'll stay in Sherwood Park.
They might make it to our draws in.
And then they'll sit in our draws and sit in our draws and sit in our draws.
And then I'll get it's out for delivery.
It's out for delivery.
So it's like, you know, if you need something, order it well in advance or find another way to get it to you because if you need rural postal service, it ain't great.
Oh, however, there are good people who work at Canada Post.
I just really don't like your union, and I don't think the government should be in the mail business.
Well, if you're talking rural delivery, I don't know anything about that.
I'm just talking about, you know, in Toronto, you know, Sheila, the straw, the straw that stirs the drink.
It gets around pretty quick here.
Okay, great.
Good for you.
That's fine.
As long as everything's fine in the center of the universe, okay, that's great.
Okay, let's show the store, please.
We got off on a little bit of a tangent there.
I wanted to, because I wanted to tell you, order before the end of the month.
Let's show Drea's really great video that she shot about moms, including her sweet little mom, to let you know about what's going on in the store.
Sheila, the Perfect Mother-In-Law00:05:07
Somebody who's the salt of the earth.
Your teacher, your friend.
Mothers look after their children and they fight for their rights, even if it doesn't affect them.
We're fighting for our kids' rights.
Lioness, don't mess with them.
My mother means almost everything to me.
She's 91.
She's been there for me all my life.
She's implanted Christian values.
She's never changed, and she's a rock in our life.
My favorite person in the world.
Everything she did for us was because she loved us so dearly, never gave up on us.
She's my mother so much.
My mother has passed away, but she has been a guiding light in my life still.
I talk with her.
I feel that she's impacted a lot of truth and faith.
And she always taught me to remember that I'm a child of the king.
Anything that she could do to help or support, she did it.
And she's gone now, but I will love her forever.
Despite whatever may get in her way, she'll be there for you.
A mother is unconditional love.
And this is my mom.
And I love her to death.
Thank you, thank you.
And this is my mother.

And that was beautiful, Sheila.
And you know, I would add on, in addition to grandmas, I would also say if your mother has passed on or not, what about your mother-in-law?
I mean, I've only had one mother-in-law.
She passed in 2018, Lady Menzoy's mother.
And I can tell you, I balled my eyeballs out on her the day of her passing.
She was everything that the media-generated stereotype of a mother-in-law is not.
She was a fantastic human being.
I guess I'm sure there are awful mother-in-laws out there, but in my personal experience, Sheila, she was a gem, and I would definitely buy her Rebel merchandise on Mother's Day if she were still here.
And she was a huge supporter of Rebel News, absolutely adored Rebel News.
So just saying.
My mother-in-law, people who know me know my in-laws spend most of their time with us.
They live with us.
They live in the yard.
I would have married my husband just to get my mother-in-law.
Like, I don't want to tell him that, but she's the best.
She's the perfect mother-in-law for me.
She's so outdoorsy, you know, she's out gardening, she's a hard worker, blue-collar.
She mothers everybody.
Literally, even if my husband, you know, he's got idiosyncrasies, but I look past him because I like that mother-in-law, and she's not going anywhere.
She's the greatest mother-in-law, the best.
I don't know why people are complaining about you got to marry the whole family, right?
And I did.
I'm so happy to hear that, Sheila.
But you said something very disturbing.
You said your in-laws live out in the field.
I mean, they don't come in.
They live in the yard.
In the yard, yeah, in the yard, it was.
Well, a yard, a field.
They just live outdoors like feral creatures or something.
I mean, what's going on?
No, they have a place.
They have a place, but we have enough land that we share a yard with my in-laws.
Well, a yard is not a house or a cabin, right?
I think of yard, I think of where the cows are.
Yeah, they're not like under a lean to in the yard.
You know, they're in their 60s.
They're coming together.
Thank you.
Thank you for correcting the record.
I was about to send some helpers out there to do safety transport, but I guess it's not needed.
Okay.
It's not needed.
No, no, no, before we go, we do have mom stuff in the store.
Let's quickly bring up the store, if that's okay.
Because we have this whole new line of rebel mom stuff.
My mom is a rebel.
So the beauty of that 25% off the second item in the store is you can get something for mom, you can get something for the little ones, or you can get mom.
And I think our best seller actually is Rebel Grandma, which I think is great because that takes care of the mother-in-law, right?
Like, I do have a rebel mother-in-law, which makes my kids' grandma definitely a rebel.
So this is our whole new line.
We've got something for babies.
We've got something for the kids.
And let's just get down to Rebel Grandma and then we'll move on to the news of the day.
Pre-Crimed and Profiled00:08:25
Nobody minds.
Rebel mom.
Tamara's got the Rebel Mom hoodie.
There's Rebel Grandma.
That's great.
I hope to see a ton of those out at the protests.
Beautiful merchandise.
Well worth the money.
And hey, wear your politics on your sleeve.
Yeah.
Okay, well, Sheila, lots to talk about.
For all those that might be complaining, they're 17 minutes in and they just talked about inanities.
Well, A, you're getting the show for free.
And B, we will go over, okay, so you get the full hour.
You know, and that happens always.
And the story du jour is what's going to happen or might not happen, I should say, Sheila, in the beautiful city of Ottawa this weekend.
It's the Rolling Thunder coming into town.
Oh, John Martin with his smug headline here, though.
Rolling blunder.
Oh, real clever, Don.
Real clever.
They're not even there yet.
And you're telling them they've screwed up.
And I'm just going to check with super producer Olivia.
Did we have a clip from the press conference earlier this morning?
She's going to find it.
But here's the deal, folks, and we'll throw to the clip if we can dig it up.
The police are saying zero tolerance.
We're closing the downtown core to motorized vehicles.
Even if you just idle your car, you're going to be hit with an anti-idling ticket.
If it escalates, you're going to be towed away.
What this reminds me of, Sheila, because these are, for all we know, peaceful protesters.
They're on motorcycles.
They're not on big rigs.
They're getting pre-crimed.
They're getting pre-crimed already.
You stole my thunder.
Almost 20 years ago, folks, there was a movie called Minority Report.
And what Sheila just said, it was a futuristic world in which there was a pre-crimes unit.
Law enforcement was getting its advice from psychics in terms of who might commit a crime.
And what they would do is they would go out and arrest that person before the crime was actually committed.
But they have it on a very good hunch that you were going to do it until it turned out there was evidence to show that the psychics and law enforcement were getting things wrong.
Minority Report, Sheila, has come to Canada.
This is exactly it.
These are motorcyclists.
They're not, oh, I don't know, Black Lives Matter demonstrators.
They're not International Women's Day marchers.
And therefore, well, you know, this motorcycle culture.
Yeah.
Motorcycle culture.
You can't confuse them with the women's marchers.
Yeah.
And I think it's egregious, Sheila, on zero grounds.
You know, now listen, if any bikers go in there wearing trouble on their shirt and break the law, yeah, you deserve to be charged.
If you desecrate anything, if you vandalize anything, if you assault anyone, yeah, you deserve to be charged.
But for this law enforcement cabal in Ottawa to say we are prejudging you all guilty, a la minority report, you are not allowed in to the capital, the capital city, which should be, you know, ground zero for political protests.
This is an awful benchmark going forward, Sheila.
Yeah, you know what?
We should move the capital city out of Ottawa because they are banning certain Canadians from the capital city based on their politics.
Move it somewhere else.
Forget it.
You know what, Sheila?
You nailed it again.
The fact is, we have been told for a few decades now we can't profile people.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
If there is a car and law enforcement thinks that the people in the car might be up to no good and maybe those people in the car are visible minorities, you can get a ticket thrown out on that presumption.
They're going to say we were unfairly profiled.
But it appears that this kind of profiling, when it comes to a certain group, oh, it's perfectly kosher.
No problem at all.
Yeah.
And it looks like they're getting ready for violence.
And what I mean is not the instance that violence might be committed by the bikers that are headed to Ottawa, but rather the RCMP.
They're ramping up the RCMP presence.
This was something that should worry everybody who doesn't want to be trampled by a police horse and then mocked for it later on.
So the Ottawa Police Board has okayed as many as 800 RCMP reinforcements for the Rolling Thunder rally.
RCMP officers will have special constable status, meaning they will have law enforcement capabilities within the city of Ottawa in cooperation with the OPS.
And there's that awful police chief, Steve Bell, the worst cop in the entire country.
The worst.
The absolute worst.
He's a joke, an absolute joke.
I hope that if the conservatives ever win power, that there is a serious, actual inquiry into what happened in Ottawa under the leadership of Steve Bell, because it's an absolute disgrace that he's able to operate the way he is without oversight.
And all of his mistakes, shameless public mistakes, they're just being glossed over by the liberals in committee.
It's astounding to watch.
You know what, Sheila?
People are unaware of why you have such disdain for Chief Bell.
I'll tell you why it is, folks.
When we were in covering the trucker convoy back in February, we went to the press conference in which Chief Bell told me when I asked him the question about our dear friend and superb reporter, Alexa Lavoie, assaulted by a cop by getting a canister shot at her thigh.
Thank God it was her thigh because if it was her head, maybe that's an ex-employee now.
And he claimed, even though this was getting international media attention, in fact, just before the press conference, a camera crew from RT, Russia Today, was interviewing Alexa Lavoie outside our hotel.
And he claimed he did the Sergeant Schultz move, Sheila.
I know nothing.
I saw nothing.
And then he ended the press conference when question period was over. with a little PS.
And the PS was this, folks.
I just want to applaud all the members of the media who were acting so professionally.
And we have heard about slurs thrown your way.
And there are already investigations that are open, you know, going after those people who insulted your sensibilities.
Yeah, so Alexa Lavoie gets a canister shot at her point blank, I might add.
And nothing to see here.
Guillaume was also pepper sprayed.
You can see them spray him right in the face.
So Alexa's cameraman was pepper sprayed also.
They didn't know anything about it.
Oh, we don't know anything.
But meanwhile, the likes of, oh, I don't know, Evan Solomon is called a soy boy.
Oh, my, calling all cars, calling all cars, get down to Bell Media.
We got to give some grief consoling to Evan and find out who insulted him in such a way.
Sheila, just amazing.
Again, it goes back to Minority Report or some other Orwellian type novel.
A thought crime, calling a mainstream journalist an insult, you know, and I don't know whatever happened to Sticks and Stones.
That's public enemy number one.
But whoever shot Alexa, well, you know, we'll kind of get around to it.
Maybe it was an accident.
What a disgrace.
This isn't just minority report, though.
This is also completely Orwellian because we have documents that we published the other day.
I think I wrote it up for the website, where we can see the RCMP, 800 of them are headed towards Ottawa, by the way, where after they were caught joking about the injuries caused to people by police horses, incidentally not their own.
Protesters vs. Police00:15:51
These were the ones that deal with barbecue places in Toronto.
We saw the RCMP communications team frantically going back and scrubbing social media to remove evidence that these guys exist in any of their videos promoting the RCMP musical ride because it was the musical ride team that was making the jokes about the civilians being trampled by police horses.
So we went back as part of a cover-up.
They couldn't get rid of the leaked chats, obviously.
Those were out.
But they started going through their internals and making sure that this YouTube ad was pulled and this bell let's talk that feature that that was all pulled down.
That any of the officers involved in this were not tainting the police force.
That was their immediate concern.
Not the fact that, holy heck, what kind of psychopaths do we have on the musical ride?
That wasn't their concern.
That was protecting the force from fallout because this was an international thing.
You know, I don't know what's happened to the RCMP when you see that kind of egregious commentary going on in social media when you see them at Wroxham Road turning into the Royal Canadian Bellhop police and bringing over the suitcases of illegal aliens as opposed to doing anything tangible.
You know, that little silly thing sovereign nations are supposed to do, Sheila, enforce the border.
What a disgrace.
And we should, if we have it, Super Producer Olivia, the press conference, because they're laying it on the line.
They're saying your freedom of expression, of assembly.
Oh, no, no, those are so 2021.
It's a new game in town.
And if we don't like what you're protesting, we're shutting it down.
Check it out.
We have created an exclusion zone in the downtown area where no motor vehicles involved in any event, rally, protest, or demonstration are permitted inside that zone.
However, the roads are not closed.
Allowances will be made for local residents and businesses for traffic.
The flow of pedestrians, cyclists, and public transit will continue throughout the operation.
City barricades, heavy equipment, or police officers and police vehicles will be at various controlled access points surrounding the vehicle exclusion zone to filter lawful traffic onto and in and around those streets.
We've already begun to execute this plan.
This weekend, residents will see a large and sustained police and enforcement presence, including bylaw and parking enforcement.
We've called in officers from the Ontario Provincial Police, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and other municipal police services to execute the plan.
We thank all of those services and officers for their contribution.
Controlled intersections, new no parking and no stopping areas, road closures, vehicle towing and ticketing will be part of the enforcement strategy to support public safety through the weekend.
We've developed multiple contingencies, including traffic officers and quick response teams, and we'll be ready to provide an immediate police response to issues throughout the city.
Now, Sheila, conspicuous by its absence from Chief Bell was any mention of whether members of the media will be excluded from the exclusion zone.
That sounds Monty Python-esque to me.
And I say that, folks, because right now we have members of the rebel team from Quebec heading to Ottawa.
Later this afternoon, I will be leaving, as well as Lincoln, Efren, the super producer, Isabelle, who might have a come to Jesus moment and refund my $5.
Anyway, what I'm saying is we certainly don't trust the mainstream media to give the coverage.
And here's my question to you, Sheila.
I am sure, because CBC headquarters in Ottawa is right downtown.
It's like two minutes away from Parliament Hill.
Oh, they're getting grief counseling today.
Don't worry about it.
They're getting grief counseling.
The therapy animals are being called in because the bikers are coming.
Oh, I have CBC.
I have no doubt, Sheila.
But my question is this.
Is this going to be another example which we witnessed in February where the CBC types, you're just ushered on through the barricades.
Oh, yeah.
Whereas the independent media, I remember, if anyone wants to go into the archives, you can watch Lincoln and I being interrogated by, I'll never forget her name, Officer Dyke of the OPP.
We basically had to prove we had a hotel room.
And literally, Sheila, we had these cops saying, your papers?
Well, I mean, they didn't have the German accent, but they may as well.
And is this what we're in for?
Is it going to be government-approved and funded journalists get into the exclusion zone easy peasy?
And meanwhile, the independents, well, you guys we don't like because, oh, you tell the truth.
You tell the other side of the story.
Is this what it's going to be this weekend, Sheila?
Oh, probably.
I know we have another clip from that press conference, a short one, but before we go on, there's a phrase that he used there that immediately I wrote it down.
He said, lawful traffic.
As in anybody else who's not, you know, doesn't have police approved business in the exclusion zone, that's illegal traffic.
So Canadians going to their nation's capital to express their disgust with the things being done by the national government, that's illegal.
That's illegal traffic right now, according to totalitarian police chief Bell and his enabler, Jim Watson.
Which is gross.
Let's roll that other clip, sorry.
Okay.
Yeah, let's get to that.
Organizers and participants will be held accountable for actions before, during, and after the event.
For example, many of the individuals charged in the unlawful protest in February have conditions to not be in Ottawa.
Those individuals will be arrested and charged.
You know, Sheila, and we live in a society where a violent offender can be released on like a day pass, unsupervised.
And gosh, we really hope he behaves himself.
And then people that were charged with minor offenses, parking tickets, you know, idling maybe, these are the public enemy number one contingent.
And that Chief Bell is going to have his henchmen go after them.
How perverse can you get?
You know, there was another phrase that he used there that I thought was interesting because I immediately recognized it from somewhere else, from another Soviet-style cover-up.
And the phrase was exclusion zone.
So that's what they called Chernobyl.
Like that's what they called Chernobyl.
And part of the exclusion zone, why it's so big, is because they didn't want people to know what was happening in Chernobyl.
They were like, oh, nothing's happening in Chernobyl.
That fallout that you are seeing on your Geiger counters in Sweden is probably nothing.
That wasn't us.
And the reason I say it's a cover-up is because if you follow the reporting of the incredible Cosmen Jerja over at True North, he's probably the only one on this story.
The majority of complaints against the Ottawa police during the convoy are thrown out.
So this is the Ottawa police getting complaints against themselves, and they get to vet the complaints before they pass them up to another agency to investigate.
And they're just saying, no, these complaints against us, nah, they're unfounded.
So they've investigated themselves and spoiler alert, they found nothing.
Instead of actually having an outside force come in and, well, definitely can't be the RCMP, but having an outside agency come in and investigate their actions.
And these, the majority of complaints against the police are for brutality, for how they've treated the peaceful protesters.
Public complaints concerning the Ottawa Police Service shot up 324% in the first quarter of the year compared to 2021.
Of the 327 complaints received, 84 were related to the Freedom Convoy protests in the cities downtown.
In total, the force received 266 improper conduct complaints, 56 excessive force complaints, and 24 complaints of neglect of duty.
Of these, only 3% were forwarded to investigation by the Office of the Independent Police Review Director, which oversees complaints and disciplinary hearings.
Isn't that crazy?
They get to vet the complaints against themselves before they decide they're worth investigating.
Well, Sheila, as they say in Vegas, the fix is in, baby, and that's what's happening here.
And you know what?
I wonder, you know, to go off on another tangerine here, if a subsection of these bikers, if they donned over their motorcycle jackets, oversized BLM t-shirts, right?
Saying that, oh, no, no, we have nothing to do with Rolling Thunder.
We're doing a BLM protest.
What do you want to bet that suddenly there might be some editing to the ban of specific vehicles?
I really feel that, Sheila.
I mean, I wish I knew a motorcycle club to do this kind of social experiment because I think if that were the case, loud motorcycles and the carbon emissions, whatever they're saying to justify this ban, I think it would be, they would turn a blind eye to that group.
This sorry, I'm just continuing on this story because there's context in here year over year.
So in 2021, eight complaints when they had almost no complaints, but eight of those resulted in discipline of officers.
This year, with that increasing spike in complaints, only three officers were disciplined.
That shows that they aren't even interested in making sure that police police to a certain standard of their own code of conduct.
Basically, if you are a protester, a civilian in Ottawa, the police at this point can do whatever the heck they want to you.
And there's no recourse.
Good luck.
If you complain, they're just going to say, We've investigated ourselves.
And guess what?
Surprise, we did nothing wrong.
It's incredible.
And, you know, one of the reasons, too, Sheila, that we have such a big team of rebels going to Ottawa, I hearken back to last Friday, we covered the Leslie Lewis rally in Mississauga.
And what she said was really profound.
Given the mainstream media coverage she was watching while the Freedom Convoy was in Ottawa, she actually said to herself, Is it safe for me to walk to Parliament Hill?
She also mentioned by the tone of the coverage, it was inferring that there was an insurrection taking place, that Canadian sovereignty was on the line.
And, you know, she was openly wondering: is this city even a safe place for me to be?
And I don't know if we can dredge up the clip of the question I asked Leslie Lewis.
Spoiler alert, she stole a plank from the Pierre Polyev campaign, which I do not mind because it's so righteous.
But that's the thing.
You had, you know, Leslie Lewis, you know, based on how the media was covering a peaceful protest, actually questioning whether she should get out of Dodge.
And then when she walked down the street and met the people that were part of the Freedom Convoy, nobody was doing anything illegally.
Quite the contrary, Sheila.
You know, one of the most endearing sights I saw were members of the convoy walking around with garbage bags, picking up litter, right?
Because they didn't want it to become a cesspool.
By the way, which is often the end result when you see a leftist protest, they just drop their signs, and I guess they expect the magic fairies to come and do garbage retrieval.
And they were friendly people.
There were bouncy castles, you know, et cetera, et cetera.
So this is why we need to get there because already the vilification of this rolling thunder has begun.
And when Livia, did we have that clip of what Leslie Lewis said and what the reaction of the people were?
It's coming soon, Sheila.
And what I'm getting at, I just don't trust what the mainstream media are going to say and report on this Rolling Thunder convoy, Sheila.
No, of course not.
I mean, I was thinking about just the amount of things that the mainstream media got wrong about the convoy.
I mean, from the very beginning, they got wrong that it was violent.
They got wrong that it was white supremacy.
They got wrong that it was insurrectionist.
But they got it all wrong from their cubicles in Toronto or their Freddy Cat, what do they call those, panic rooms in the CBC because they wouldn't go down and actually talk to the people in their city.
They, you know, they said that these people were violent when the crime rate went down while they were there.
However, police complaints went up and they are not even reporting on that.
It sounds like maybe the police were breaking the law the whole time while the protesters weren't.
Remember, they said there were guns found.
There were no guns found.
They said that the majority of the funding was foreign.
Maybe this was a Russian-backed thing.
Remember, CBC said that twice and had to retract two articles about it?
When, you know, you get GoFundMe and Gifts and Go in front of a committee and they say, no, this majority of it was small donations from Canadians that you wrote off as Russian oligarchs because you're crazy people.
Anyway.
And Sheila, I can understand Dr. Lewis's, you know, umbrage at the reporting because I never got out to the first, the very first weekend of the Freedom Convoy.
I was stuck in Toronto and I remember I was driving somewhere and I had 680 news on.
That's not news talk.
It's just with opinions.
It's just pure supposed journalism.
And I remember I was driving along and they were reporting from Ottawa and they said this just in the Terry Fox statue near Parliament Hill has been desecrated and vandalized.
And, you know, I had a pit in my stomach.
Like I would say almost every Canadian, I love Terry Fox.
I love what he did.
And I thought, oh, come on, what moron?
Terry Fox Vandalism Reporting00:11:40
Who would do this?
Who would vandalize that statue?
And then I learned it was a Canadian flag draped on the statue.
Twas, you know, when you've had other demonstrations, other marches, for example, the Gay Pride March in Ottawa, they put the rainbow flag on the Terry Fox statue.
No desecration here, but you put a Canadian flag.
That is desecration.
That is vandalism in the eyes of 680 News.
When I found out the truth, my head almost exploded.
So you can see how they say things, Sheila, without giving you the full context.
It is absolutely despicable.
But why don't we throw to that Leslie Lewis clip?
I think our viewers are going to love both the question and the response vis-a-vis mainstream media in Canada.
I'm at a Dr. Leslie Lewis rally.
It attracted about 300 or so people.
Very friendly crowd.
Dr. Lewis got many standing ovations for what she stood for, and she had a lot to say.
Most of it she's said before, but I think we broke a little news during question period.
I got a chance to ask her about the CBC.
Just check out what Dr. Lewis had to say and the response she got from her supporters.
You said in your speech that when you were looking at the mainstream media coverage of the trucker freedom convoy in Ottawa, you wondered if it would be dangerous to walk to Parliament Hill.
It wasn't.
In fact, crime went down during the demonstration, as I understand it.
Secondly, you saw reports that the country was in the process of being overthrown.
That was a complete falsehood.
It was a peaceful protest.
But the point of getting at Dr. Lewis is that when we cover Pierre Polyev rallies, the single thing he says that brings about the greatest standing ovation is when he promises to defund the CBC.
Will you make that promise?
Well, Mr. Benzie, I can honestly say to you that the distrust that we have or that society has in the media and in legacy media cannot continue.
The CBC on the course that it is on is tantamount to being an arm of the liberal government in the way that they are covering.
And all across the country, people are saying that the billion dollars that we pay to the CBC is wasted money.
And I'm hearing that all across the country.
in the interest of people and defund the CBC.
So, yeah, I guess she's taken a plank from the Pierre Polyev.
So Sheila, I don't know if you could see that, but on the riser was a CBC camera woman.
I actually pointed directly at her and I said, you report this.
And she nodded her head up and down.
Here's the epilogue, Sheila.
We can find no existence of this coverage of the Leslie Lewis rally.
CBC sent an entire camera crew, one of the little minivans, to cover this.
Whether you like the news or you don't like the news, and I understand you probably are mortified of the idea of being defunded, that's not the point.
That is news.
That is a second Conservative candidate saying, you guys are toast if I become prime minister.
And it's not covered.
They are picking and choosing what Canadians can hear.
And if it's unsanitized in their estimation, it's censored.
Give me a break.
I want my money back, Sheila.
Well, that's exactly why we're sending three teams of journalists to cover Rolling Thunder.
Like, that's exactly why.
They don't like us over in the mainstream media, but we exist because they're awful.
So we step into the void that they refuse to fill.
You don't tell the other side of the story.
Filter the news to the public.
Fine.
We'll do your job.
Thanks for creating the market for the work that we do.
So we are sending three teams to Ottawa to cover the anemic counter protest, I expect, the treatment of the protesters by the police and the treatment of the public in general by the police.
And also the protest itself, the Rolling Thunder protest.
So we've got three teams of people going.
We are going to incur some expenses because unlike the CBC that gets paid to not even tell you the news that they were literally there to report, as it turns out, you can donate to offset our costs to send three teams from the entire region there at convoyreports.com.
And we appreciate all your donations.
You facilitate all of the work that we do here at Rebel News.
Before we move into the chats, I just want to, let's do something a little bit more fun, but it's probably not all that.
I mean, it's fun because we get to make fun of Justin Trudeau, which is, you know, sometimes I feel like I'm punching down.
And if you weren't the prime minister, it would be a lot funnier, but he's literally in charge of everything, which is bad.
Efron clipped it.
Great tweet, Efron.
Prime Minister Trudeau deflects away from answering whether he's guilty of fraud for taking a free $200,000 vacation from a billionaire.
That's the Ega Khan.
He went to the island there back in 2015, 2016.
As soon as he took office, he was like right on the gravy train with biscuit wheels, taking all of the freebies that he could.
And recently, an RCMP report came out, and Ezra did a full show on it the other day.
So if you are not yet a subscriber to Rebel News Plus to get Ezra's full nightly show, I suggest you become one.
It's worth the eight bucks just to see that show.
There was literally a flowchart in these documents where the RCMP laid out why we should probably charge him.
But then they didn't for some reason.
Political reasons, obviously.
But they had, like, it was like a literally a flowchart of these are the reasons why we should be charging him.
Like, if it's this, okay, we go this way and then that way.
And then, yeah, the result is charge him.
If it's this, like, they couldn't get away from not charging him.
Unbelievable.
But they decided not to charge him anyway.
And so naturally, the Conservatives, who are doing a pretty good job in question period these days, they asked about it.
And Justin Trudeau just was right out of her.
Like, he just, it's like he didn't even, he wasn't even remotely prepared for the question that was coming his way.
And I don't know how he couldn't have been, knowing that this was the scandal of the day with the Liberals in Canada.
But let's roll that clip from Efron, please.
Speaker, section 19 of the Criminal Code says that ignorance of the law by a person who commits an offense, which includes our Prime Minister, is not an excuse for committing an offense.
Section 121 of the code indicates that everyone is guilty of fraud in the government.
If they be in the officer, except from anyone who has dealings with the government, a reward, such as a luxury, illegal vacation, unless they have consent in writing from the head of the department.
If the prime minister did not give himself consent, will he admit that he's guilty of fraud.
Listen to this.
Right, Honorable Prime Minister.
Speaker, as I said, we're seeing the Conservatives don't want to focus on the things that matter to Canadians.
They don't want to talk about workers.
They don't want to talk about supporting seniors.
They don't want to talk about supporting students.
They don't want to talk about supporting veterans.
They don't want to talk about the opioid crisis.
They don't want to talk about reconciliation.
They don't want to talk about investments in clean and renewable energy.
They just continue to want to try and make personal attacks and focus on me while we as a government continue to remain resolutely focused on serving Canadians and delivering for them.
Sheila, that was the most epic example I have seen in my entire life in journalism of a politician deflecting the question.
I mean, that's more of a deflection than Phil Esbosito used to do in the early 70s in the Bruins when he was scoring 70 goals.
That is outrageous.
That is not an answer.
That's a non-answer.
I'm appalled by that clip.
Well, Conservatives are also talking about those other things too, just not in the way that Justin Trudeau wants to fix them.
For example, yeah, conservatives in general care about seniors and students, but that has a lot to do with inflation and the cost of living and is out of control spending driving up inflation.
Conservatives care about reconciliation.
Why can't you get clean drinking water on reserves?
Conservatives also care about veterans.
That's why we're so grossed out when our prime minister says that they're asking for more than the government is willing to give them.
You know, conservatives care about those things, but we also care about whether or not the guy leading the country is a criminal.
Yeah.
And Sheila, you're right on.
This is what makes Justin Trudeau's answer so perversely ridiculous.
And it's this.
All those files he brought up, all those topics, all those issues, the liberal government gets a failing grade on.
I mean, he says the conservatives don't want to talk about our failed policies in all these issues.
It's preposterous.
Yeah, you know, what is it about Justin Trudeau?
I think he's projecting a little bit because I think that normal adult people who are in charge of stuff can think about several issues at once.
I think about several issues at once all day long.
But Justin Trudeau thinks that you can only focus on seniors.
And then once you fix that, then you move on to the next thing.
Instead of being in charge of a lot of moving pieces, I mean, isn't this not why we have ministries?
So that there are people assigned to deal with these certain portfolios?
Get them working on it.
But also, I think the public deserves to know whether or not you think you should have been charged with fraud.
Yeah, and he did not answer the question.
So therefore, it's a non-answer.
And he's making himself more irrelevant the longer he stays in office.
Sheila, are we going to look at some super chats?
Oh, and by the way, if you are putting it through a super chat, because folks, today is National Superhero Day, throw in a line which superhero, or if you prefer, which super villain you most identify with.
And we should go out, Olivia, on that video of David and his fancy car that he wants, because I promised it off the top of the show.
And if anybody has stuck around to the end, let's roll that video.
I had nothing to do with this, folks.
I think you're supposed to get the express written permission from Major League Baseball, Sheila, which you failed to do yet again.
So sue me.
We're demonetized.
Jasper TV Controversy00:03:23
It's not like we made any money off it.
GGFD gives us $10 and says, SGR, that's me.
Great report on the Alberta government and their efforts to bring Hollyweird to the Fairmont and Jasper Park Lodge.
Excellent news coverage, just like a real qualified Canadian journalism organization.
Yeah, we're almost just like it.
You can tell that I have maybe watched The Bachelorette twice and I didn't like it at all in that video.
I think I called it morally corrupt television or something.
But yeah, while like literally three days after they announced new restrictions on Albertans, which resulted in the cancellation of our Christmases, basically, we couldn't mix outside of households, limited our churches to 15% during Advent, restricted funerals, including my own mother's, to just 10 people, closed our dining rooms, closed our gyms.
They were working to get these Hollywood non-Canadians into the country to work.
So while they deemed our lives, our jobs, non-essential, they were trying to relabel these hedonistic TV producers essential workers, trying to do, they were writing letters to the feds for them.
And let's be honest, Sheila, this was all about vanity.
And I'm not talking about the vanity of the people with the TV show, The Bachelorette, which I've never seen, but the vanity of politicians in Alberta going, look at us, look at us.
We're world class.
We're getting this top-rated reality TV show right here in Wild Rose Country.
That was what it was all about, Sheila.
The public health officer, Dina Hinshaw, wrote a letter to the feds that said it would be a real benefit to the mental health of Albertans, whose lives she just ruined, by the way, to see Jasper on TV.
Yeah, you just closed our businesses and prevented us from saying goodbye to our loved ones.
But yeah, whoopity-doo, Jasper's on TV.
It's Jasper.
It's on TV every other week.
You know, like, who cares?
You know, it reminds me.
If you want to see Jasper, I'll go see Jasper.
It's right over there.
You know, Sheila, it reminds me of last summer when, remember, the Toronto Blue Jays got a special national exemption from the COVID tyranny in the interests of, I guess, bringing good to Canada because, you know, God forbid, Canadians were going to crisis management centers because the Jays were playing their home games out of Buffalo, New York, as opposed to Toronto, Ontario.
The hypocrisy when it comes to a certain level of, you know, millionaires or billionaires or entertainment or professional sports, it is astounding to see it.
And these necromancers, as you call these public health officers, they say it with a straight face.
Oh, yeah, this is good for the health of Canadians.
Despicable.
Yeah, there you go.
Look at that.
I mean, an exemption.
Kids baseball.
Yeah.
Kids baseball was canceled, but these millionaires were fine.
Yeah, the millionaire.
And don't forget the owner of the team, the multi-billionaire corporation called Robbers, I mean Rogers Communications.
Hypocrisy In Sports Exemptions00:04:10
Yeah, it was so bad with this bachelorette thing.
They were trying to create what they did with the NHL and NHL bubble.
But the health region said, we don't have enough registered nurses to do this for you.
But the province said, well, let's just pull the RNs out of the health zone anyways.
So they're closing your business to protect a healthcare system already under collapse, so they say.
But let's also take these nurses out of this health zone that is understaffed with RNs and give them over to the bachelorette because that'll make you feel better when you're seeing it on TV, was their logic.
Why does Henshaw always look so gaunt, Sheila?
Or is that just a bad pitch?
She always looks like she needs like a transfusion or something.
I don't know.
I don't know.
She's a psychic vampire.
Oh, I'm going to get emails.
Okay, Yankee gave us a buck.
I don't know why.
But he says that Isabel always makes David look good in the videos.
So he's Team Isabel.
Oh, okay.
With regard to your cheapness.
Yeah, my cheapness.
Look at Yankee.
A buck?
A loony?
You know, what's that?
58 cents American?
Give me a break, Yankee.
He works with us.
Why is he paying money to talk to us?
That's why he's not being cheap.
To ensure his employment, so we like his donations.
That's why if I'm Yankee Polak, I'm cutting a check for at least three figures.
Jordan Jorgie says, hi, guys, I like being really cheap too.
That's why I give you guys a dollar.
Well played, good, sir.
No, but our beloved viewers, I'm happy if you give a buck.
Don't get me wrong, folks, but I think if you're an insider, you owe more than a buck.
Let's reimburse you.
Becca Henderson gives us a buck, says, David, I appreciate you, but I'm with Sheila.
Between the card price, yep, between the card price and now this, you are being irrationally cheap.
You're cheaper than Mennonites.
Isabel, Mennonites are frugal.
They're frugal.
They don't like debt.
And I like that about them.
Look, I'm cheap too, but I'm not cheap to the point where I'm breaking friendships and causing strife in the workplace, David Menzies.
Explain to me, Sheila Gunread and Becca Henderson, how I, A, put up all the money for the ticket.
I, B, promise to give her a fantastic sports car plus a $2 million Toronto residence.
She only gave me numbers, all of which failed to come up.
I only asked for my money back, and I'm the cheapskate.
Except for the fact that you gave the guy the money.
Like, she did the intellectual labor of coming up with the numbers.
Yeah, but look how faulty the intelligence was.
You know what?
Ashley, Sheila, okay, to appease all you naysayers, I'll go back to the store and see if the guy behind the counter at the variety store will give me my five bucks back.
Is that a good compromise?
Do you know what?
Bring Isabelle with this moment.
King7734 says a buck.
Essentially, what you're saying by wanting your money back, if the ticket had won, she should have gotten it all.
What?
Don't be so cheap.
This is insane.
I can't believe this feeling.
No, David.
Why would she get it all on my 100% investment?
I mean, it would be outrageous enough if you said 50%, but all of it and I bought the ticket.
Sheila, this is ridiculous.
You know what?
That's it for me in the lottery.
Mojo's Greenhouse Footage00:13:44
I'm not going to try to enrich any other rebel's life anymore from now on.
I think that's fair.
As long as you don't have to listen to you, be cheap.
I think we're all winning.
Jory Jorgi also says, gives us a bucket, says, both of my grandmas recently passed.
Oh, that's terrible.
I'm so sorry to hear that.
JCMN84 gives us 10 bucks.
That's awful generous.
Morgan Lowry article, unvaxed risks to vax is based on bad, yes, Canadian or CMAJ article that used a comp model with errors.
For example, 20% natural immunity in unvaxxed.
Bonnie Henry says 50% natural immunity in BC from Omicron alone.
Stay tuned because Tamara has done some really good journalism on that.
This she debunked the flaws in this study, but she also interviewed Byron Bridel, who goes, because he's a viral immunologist, he goes through why exactly the study is flawed and why he thinks, I saw in his sub stack, that he thinks this amounts to hate speech, that you're blaming the unvaccinated for the reason why in Ontario,
the vaccinated are testing positive and being hospitalized at greater rates when adjusted to population, too.
So it's not just because, okay, there's more of them that are vaccinated.
No, it's adjusted to population.
So Far be it from me to be the voice of reason, but are we getting close to COVID treachery in the eyes of YouTube?
Should we, do we have to sign off for it?
We're okay.
I think we're good.
All right, then.
Yeah.
AMT 60, a buck.
I respected the bikers that are rolling into Ottawa.
Do you think that Ontario Bill 100 will affect them and take their bikes and possibly their homes?
How do they avoid this?
Bill 100 is guilty first.
I don't want to give legal advice.
You know, and I have to say, Sheila, the authorities, it's reminding me of an assignment that Dakota and I covered last summer.
Port Dover, Ontario is the home of the Friday the 13th ride.
There can be as many as 13 Friday the 13ths in one calendar year or at least one.
It has to be either one, two, or three.
And one of the politicians in Port Dover actually declared the event to be a non-event.
You know, kind of like, you know, some witch from Harry Potter with a magic wand saying, I declare this a non-event.
Well, look what happened.
I see there's some footage from that day.
I believe it was August the 13th.
And there was the response to the event officially being declared a non-event.
I mean, can you believe the chutzpah?
And basically, this is what they're doing in Ottawa.
We're declaring it a non-event.
Oh, and how's this for the cherry on the Sunday?
We're going to tag and ticket and arrest and incarcerate you as well.
At least they never did that in Port Dover.
Let's keep going.
We've got one from Cheryl Don V. A buck.
Sheila, thank you for your reporting on Mojo Greenhouse.
I usually custom order my flowers from Sherwood Park, but decided to send my business to Mojo, and they are happy to do a custom order.
You know, I've got a bit of an update on that story, but I don't know if it's worth doing another story.
So somebody emailed after seeing my story about how this small business is ostensibly after getting all the permits and codes and inspections and everything.
They showed me all of it.
They had their ability to open their greenhouse this year after having it open for years and years and years, yanked one week before opening, even though they started their plants in January and paid for all that natural gas in January.
But the problem is last year they reopened their diner in defiance of the lockdown.
And someone emailed the MLA there, Shane Getson, who also kept his mouth shut when another place in the region there, Grace Life Church, was being snatched by the state and their pastor was in jail for 35 days.
No one ever heard of Shane Getzon back then.
But somebody emailed him about my story and he said, the story is filled with inaccuracies, but didn't note any of them.
Shane, if you're watching, send me an email.
Tell me what I got wrong.
Secondarily, he said that Mojo got in trouble under the, I think the words he used is the Safety Codes Act.
Now, what Mojo did show me was, and it's publicly available online, the health inspector came and inspected their restaurant last year and just hammered them with everything because obviously they reopened in defiance of the lockdown.
So the health inspector threw everything and the kitchen sink at them.
So that document is publicly available online.
You can go and find it.
But they also showed me a copy of that.
They were upfront about everything.
They said, yeah, the health inspector came and this is the trouble they gave us.
But I can't find anything under the safety codes.
And furthermore, Mojo says that they can't even get anybody to tell them what they're doing wrong.
They are willing to work with the county to fix things.
They just can't get anybody to tell them what they're doing wrong.
They're good people.
They're broken.
They just want, they want to do what's right.
But the Parkland County there isn't cooperating with them.
And I hope, hopefully, somebody can make this right.
Because again, they're willing to do what it takes.
But, you know, maybe, maybe their MLA, Shane Getson, could reach out to Parkland County and say, Sounds like Mojo are willing to do what it takes to do whatever they need to do to fix this so that they're not opened illegally.
Let's work together to do that instead of pointing the finger at me for telling their story, Shane Getson.
Sheila, I'm baffled by what you just said.
I mean, the bare minimum benchmark when you're charged with something is what the nature of the charge is.
If I get pulled over for speeding, the officer says I clocked you at 23 over the limit.
That's the crime, right?
How can they not be told what the crime is?
I've never heard of such a thing.
Yeah, well, and they had health violations related to the restaurant, but the restaurant is not closed this year.
That's not the side of the business that's in trouble.
The health inspector was sick on them because they reopened, but that's not the side of the business that the county is not allowing to reopen.
It's the greenhouse, even though the greenhouse was opened last year and the year before and the year before that.
And they have all their inspection reports.
They just won't tell them what they need to do to be allowed to do this properly.
And maybe their MLA could advocate on their behalf instead of sending emails back to concerned residents accusing this business of wrongdoing.
That business is also a part of your community, Shane Getson.
Why don't you help them instead of standing by and watching them lose their shirt and blaming me for telling their story?
Unbelievable.
Anyways, that's thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
I was kind of mad when I got that email last night because I thought, you know what?
I'm doing Shane's job.
You know, why aren't you helping these people work with the county?
They obviously need help navigating the system.
Why are you mad at me for telling the story of how nobody did anything to help them?
Shame.
Yep.
Anyway.
JCMN84, please check out.
Yeah, Dr. Byron Bridel.
Yeah, we did.
Olivia Bruni, no, that's our Olivia.
January 7, 7, 7.
Sorry, I'm just reading things as they come past my screen.
I'm an automaton like a TV journalist.
Five bucks, Sheila.
If you've talked about this by the time my rent comes up, my apologies.
However, if not, then why is Chris Scott not receiving any airtime regarding the Alberta Prosperity APP on the Rebel platform?
You know what?
There are just only a few of us.
We can't get to all of it.
As you know, we are covering all of Chris Scott's legal costs.
I camped out in the Whistle Stop Cafe for over a month.
I was there really every single day.
I was doing all my work at a quarter booth at a table.
And when that table got busy, I would sit on the floor beside the dog food in the convenience store.
So, you know, it's not that we don't like Chris Scott, that we have just had a falling out, but it really, we just can only cover so many things.
And we'll do our best to cover that when it gets closer to some of us.
But sometimes, like, it's in Grand Prairie.
So that's a heck of a round trip for me, or it's in Medicine Hat, and that's a heck of a round trip for the guys in Calgary.
So once things get a little closer, and if time permits, we definitely will.
January 7, 7, 7, APP, very important information.
Albertans must be aware of.
Yes, I know.
January 7, 7, 7, 5 bucks.
I wrote a comment on another platform beginning with Trudeau and his team of czars, and it was immediately pulled.
No freedom of speech in Trudeau's Canada.
No, and it's only going to get worse.
I would love to know what platform that was, my friend.
Oh, I imagine it's Facebook.
Jeez, unbelievable.
Boy, Twitter's getting fun these days, by the way.
Oh.
It's fun.
Isn't it something?
And by the way, folks, I did with Isabel yesterday some streeters down at Young Dundas Square asking the good folk of Hogtown what they think of Elon Musk acquiring Twitter.
Wow.
You know what?
It's good news.
It restored my faith in the people of Toronto.
Perhaps just briefly, but make sure you watch for that.
That was my hypothesis when you went out to do those streeters.
I thought either people are literally not going to care or they're going to be like, great.
More ideas, more free and liberal exchange of ideas.
How can that be a bad thing?
The only people who care are the people who know that they can't argue their ideas and that their ideas won't stand up to the smallest amount of scrutiny, i.e. a mean tweet.
Those are the people who are outraged.
And those people only exist on Twitter because that has been their, to use the phrase I used earlier, their panic room.
Yep.
Okay, Rebels from Hollywood gives us two bucks.
You need to have the video of the police abusing people, kicking, punching, et cetera, in the background while discussing this.
You know, that's a good point.
We'll do that next time.
That's a good idea, actually.
You know what?
We might get new footage of that over the weekend.
Yeah, we might not have to go into file footage.
Rather, just air some breaking news.
Yeah, it'll be fresh.
Yeah.
You know, I just, David, I'm already worried about you because anytime you get near a cop, you end up in handcuffs with your face smushed into a wall.
So just be careful out there.
Can you believe it?
And me, the lovable one.
Five bucks from Fraser McBurney.
Don't just defund the CBC, sell it with the money pay off the national debt.
Oh, you think it's worth anything close to the national debt?
You know what?
Sheila, I got to tell you something, though.
And I don't know why this idea hasn't been embraced, but say we can't do anything about the CBC in terms of defunding it or telling it to raise donations like we do.
If anybody is in Toronto, they're familiar where the headquarters is.
It's across the street from Skydome.
It is on some of the priciest real estate in the city of Toronto.
And what I would do, Sheila, assuming the CBC actually owns their own building, and I think they do, I would.
And this is, and I'm not making a joke here.
You know, I'm really, this is a fantastic money-making opportunity.
There's a photo, I think, that Olivia dug up.
What you do is you raise this building, you demolish it, and then you rebuild it into, I don't know, 70, 80, 90-story tower, retail, commercial, residential, although the first seven or eight floors, whatever it needs, is the CBC.
And meanwhile, all that money they would be raking in from retailers, office buildings, condominium owners, that might actually fund the CBC, or it would take a big bite out of the involuntarily rendered tax dollars they get.
I don't know why this isn't considered.
This is happening all over the city of Toronto.
Young Street, my beloved Young Street, is transforming before my eyes into Bay Street with the towers going up and all the quirky retailers getting demolished.
Why can't the CBC think out of the box like that?
David, just stop with your capitalism.
You're going to scare them down at the CBC.
You know, they've never had to rely on, you know, making a bottom line or less than a profit.
Elastic Characters of Toronto00:03:43
None of that.
So they don't think this way.
They are literally the Communist Broadcasting Corporation in that they are completely government owned and they don't have to worry about profitability or getting even eyeballs on their content.
They don't even worry about getting consumers at this point.
I joke, but they are literally a statistical rounding error of people who watch the six o'clock news watch CBC and that should be their flagship production.
Yeah.
JCMN84 gives us another 10 bucks.
Hire back our heroes.
Yes.
$12 million for foreign nurses, yet unvaxed fired nurses are ready to work.
And most of those, if you care about this sort of stuff, and I really don't, they're naturally immune.
They are probably COVID recovered.
Makes too much sense.
And if I say any more, then I'm going to get us kicked off of YouTube.
So I'll just keep it to myself.
Fraser McBurney gives us five bucks.
My superhero was my dad.
Wow.
That is so nice.
Makes you feel like a jerk now, doesn't it, David?
Not really.
You know, I wonder, I was thinking with Yankee Polak weighing in, who would he most resemble in terms of the superhero universe?
And, you know, Yankee likes to go on and on and on in our daily morning meetings, Sheila.
And you know what name came to mind for Yankee?
Elongated Man.
Yeah, look it up.
He's actually a superhero.
What I was just thinking about every time I see this shirt.
Hang on here.
Can you just do a Google image search of Guns and Moses?
I bought the Guns N'Moses shirt, a version of it, when I was in Israel because how could I not?
But some of these images are pretty deadly.
And so if Moses were a superhero coming down off the mountain with the tablets with a Glock in his hand, that's what I think Yankee would be.
Wow.
Guns and Moses.
But I think Olivia, just in case anyone thinks I'm joking, I think she's actually sourced an Elongated Man image.
He's one of these stretchy characters, folks, like, you know, Mr. Fantastic from the Fantastic Four and Plastic Man and Elastigirl.
There you go.
Boy, what a name, eh, Sheila?
Elongated man.
And believe me, there is a punchline just dangling there over home plate, which I dare not say.
What in the heck?
Includes an identity crisis, a rain in hell?
David, I've got too much to do this afternoon to investigate this stuff.
Why put this in front of me?
Okay, we should really wrap up the show because we've gone 20 minutes over, which should please you people in case you're mad because we talked about nothing for at least the first 15 minutes.
So that's everything.
I think we're all caught up.
All right.
Well, that is fantastic.
I want to say thank you to Olivia and Danny and Efren all behind the board today.
And thank you to everybody that tuned in.
A special thank you to all you people that gave us a little do-ray me.
You know, we don't embrace negative option billing like the CBC does and most of the mainstream media, right, Sheila?
It's like over 600 million per year.
And there'll be two other rebels in this spot at 12 noon Eastern tomorrow.
And in the meantime, folks, as always, stay sane.
I buy a lot of lottery tickets too, Sheila.
Stay Sane00:00:45
I tell you, my dream is to buy the performance Batmobile made by fiberglass freaks in Indiana.
I want to buy a Batmobile.
I just want to cruise Yonge Street as the Caped Crusader.
That's the best.
Poor Lady Menzies in her Robin outfit.
Oh, can you imagine?
I mean, really, the Robin costume was surely designed for a female, right?
I mean, like, red tunic, green short shorts, yellow cape.
