David Menzies and Sheila Gunn Reed mock Patrick Brown’s "National Pop Goes the Weasel Day" op-ed, calling him a "part-time arena/beaver inspector" and accusing him of aligning with Justin Trudeau’s anti-free speech stance. They critique Adam Vancouverden’s "F off" apology as insincere, like Pierre Trudeau’s "fuddle-duddle," while Omar Al-Gabra dodges questions about ending unvaxxed travel bans, citing "science" and provincial differences. Wellington Street’s closure near Parliament Hill forces Al-Gabra into a long walk, exposing media’s complicity—CBC’s $600M+ funding and Torstar’s $500M gambling license—while Brown’s op-ed ignores conservative scrutiny of dual loyalties among minority groups like Teresa Tam. The episode suggests systemic media bias and political evasion, leaving accountability a "monkey out of me" issue. [Automatically generated summary]
You have tuned into the Rebel News live stream on this, a Tuesday, June 14th, 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 that today is National Pop Goes the Weasel Day?
But my friend likes to call it National Patrick Brown Day.
She is the she-devil with a sword.
She is the calacy of Northern Alberta.
She is Sheila Gunn Reed.
How you doing there, Sheila?
David, what am I supposed to do for National Pop Goes the Weasel Day?
What is required of me?
You're supposed to hang around some shady businesses and secret campaign offices and see if Patrick Brown, who by the way, has an op-ed piece in the National Post today.
And Sheila, if you were to read it, this is the worst thing I can say about the sneaky one, the full-time mayor of Brampton, or as you like to call him, the part-time arena/slash beaver inspector.
If you read that op-ed piece that column he wrote, it could just as easily have been written by Justin Trudeau.
You remember that ad when you had a whole bunch of people, I think it was for ABC Laundry Detergent, and they were going, can you tell the difference?
I can't tell the difference between the bargain brand ABC detergent and the high-priced Tide brand of detergent.
This is the opposite of detergent.
This is slime, right?
Yeah.
And it is just amazing.
And we do have a little update to announce on the proposed criminal harassment charges that he wanted filed against Lincoln J and I for following him into a police station.
But we'll get to- You know what?
It's true.
You know, like hold up a picture of Patrick Brown and a picture of Justin Trudeau.
Can you please tell me the difference?
No, there is no difference.
Actually, I think on this issue, Patrick Brown might be a little further to the left than Justin Trudeau, if it's even possible, because Justin Trudeau just wants to censor you.
Patrick Brown wants to criminalize the act of journalism.
You know what?
Great, great point, Sheila.
And it makes a mockery of the fact that he's running for the Conservative Party of Canada.
I mean, the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario, they came to their senses in January 2018, just six months before the provincial election, and got this weasel to go to do that walk of shame, that Cersei walk of shame from Game of Thrones down the backstairs of Queen's Park into that filthy salt-covered mid-vent.
Oh, what an inglorious ending for the man who would be premier.
But to think that if he's too left, if he's too wacko jacko for the Ontario PCs, for the federal conservative party, this would be a disaster to have this man.
And the only reason we're talking about him, when you have a national pop goes the weasel day, and by the way, what do you do on National Pop Goes the Weasel Day?
That's what I'm saying.
What am I supposed to do?
And I'm not making them up.
Folks, if you want to fact check me, please go to the Googler machine and you'll find out that these things actually do exist.
But enough about the sneaky one for now.
Let's hear from the charming one in terms of what it is we're trying to do, uh, Sheila, with this live stream.
Yes, what is it exactly that we're trying to do?
Um, this is the Revolutes daily live stream.
Uh, Olivia, can you tell me, are we on all platforms today, or are we just on YouTube and Rumble?
Okay, so we're just on YouTube, Rumble, and Super U this morning.
We stream on YouTube, however, there may come a time where we have to cut the YouTube feed because that it's a censorship platform.
There's certain things that we cannot talk about over there.
For example, we cannot talk about whether or not we think our public health officer is right or if we think they're crazy and just making it up as they go.
Um, we also cannot talk about election integrity over there, um, or they will kill our YouTube channel.
So, we are streaming, sorry, if I may interject in terms of election integrity, uh, you can't talk about the 2020 U.S. federal election being uh allegedly rigged or uh smitten with fraud, right?
The 2016 U.S. election.
Oh, yeah, that's fine, that's stolen.
That's fine.
Um, it's the same way that if uh left-wing protesters go into the Capitol buildings, that's a protest.
But if right-wing protesters do it, that's an insurgency, yeah, and it's always mostly peaceful, even though the reporters are ducking out of the way of Molotov cocktails, literally standing in front of a burning building, yeah.
Um, but anyway, so yeah, you know, they keep being terrible, and I keep having a job, you know what I mean, anyway.
Um, so we start off on YouTube, we may have to cut the feed, but in the event that we do, no worries.
If you are watching us on YouTube, why don't you migrate over to one of the other platforms where we stream?
We're having a little bit of difficulty connecting to all of them today, but we are on Rumble and Super U as well.
And on both of those platforms, you can support the work that we do completely willingly through some through a paid chat.
On Rumble, the paid chat is called a rant.
Leave us a paid chat, David or I, probably me, we'll read it on air and then we'll discuss.
Um, and on Super U, it's called a Super U shout, and it's a great way to support the work that we do completely willingly and take the show in whatever direction you want.
And I think that's all the loose ends tied up.
I want to talk about the big girl who wants to ride a horse and abuse a horse before we get into everything that we want to talk about today, because there's so much, particularly with the vaccine mandates for air and rail travelers potentially falling, predicted to fall today.
But just for the fun of it, can we throw that article up, please?
Big Girl and Abused Horse00:09:38
There, I just saw this this morning and I thought someone's getting mugged by reality.
So, this lady whom I've never seen before, her name is Remy Bader.
She's a TikTok star because that's apparently a thing.
She's known for her realistic clothing haul videos.
Again, apparently, that's a thing.
She claimed during a recent trip with other influencers, apparently, again, being an influencer is a thing, that a ranch wouldn't allow her to ride their horses due to her weight.
And so, I guess the implication here is that this is discrimination.
But this is where reality meets body positivity and body positivity loses.
This is where the rubber meets the road.
The horses and their ability to carry your girth, it doesn't matter.
Social justice does not affect that.
And you don't have a self-esteem right to abuse an equine.
But that's basically people who don't know any better right now on the internet are very upset that the rancher, the owner of this horse, didn't allow this obese, and I use that term medically, woman to get on a horse and harb it.
Because usually, like for most riding horses, with the exception of a few breeds, like draft horse breeds and bigger horses, it's 20% of their body weight is what they can carry, and that's about 250 pounds.
So we know she's more than 250 pounds.
So I, again, I use the word obese medically here.
But yeah, you don't have a right to abuse a horse just because you're in the body positivity movement.
But you know, Sheila, we have to know the known-knowings and the known unknowns here.
It's hard to tell from that photo how much he weighs.
You know, honestly.
It's 250 pounds.
So we do know she's 250 pounds.
In fact, the only thing I can tell you.
It has to be.
It has to be because the rancher is not going to say, you know, like he's paid to give you a ride on the horse.
He's not going to turn down the money.
He's obviously turning down the money from this influencer who took to the internet to cry about it that, you know, you're not going to get to harm my horse today.
Yeah, the only thing I could tell from that photo is this woman is appropriating Power Girls costume from the DC universe.
And if you don't know who that is, again, go to the Googler machine and you'll find out what I'm talking about exactly.
Yeah, it looks like there's a bit of junk in the trunk there now that we have the full meal deal of the photo.
So basically, these are people, I presume during the pandemic, Sheila, that were telling us to follow the science.
And yet, when it comes to following the science of an obese woman, there's no other way to sugarcoat it.
If she's that weight and that height, she is clinically or by definition obese.
Well, what do you want to do?
You want to hurt the horse?
You want to break its back?
And by the way, where is PETA on this file?
They're so outraged.
He'll come along and euthanize that horse.
Yeah, that's right.
PETAKILSANIL.org for more on that file.
But really, why aren't they making a stink about this in defense of the farmer?
Because he is being kind to animals here and being vilified for it.
Yeah, he's literally being vilified for it.
She took to her social medias to complain about how she's being discriminated against because, I guess, because this rancher had regular horses and not Clydesdale's for her.
Well, thank God it wasn't a Shetland pony we're talking about.
Okay, then.
So there's a shot.
Is this her complaining?
Oh, shout out.
I thought it was shootout.
That might come when Antifa comes to call in.
Who knows?
For making me leave because I weigh over 240 pounds.
So this is her admitting that she's clinically obese.
And also another consideration in this is that this horse probably has 40 pounds of tack on.
So that's everything plus the saddle, usually about 20 to 40 pounds there.
So we're going to have a horse lugging around 300 pounds and 240 plus of it is her ample girth.
Sorry, but you don't get to abuse a horse because you have self-esteem issues and that you're a body positivity TikToker.
Like this is one of those rare instances where besides diabetes, these people get mugged by reality.
And Sheila, that is the conversation to have with this woman.
And it's this: are you really that selfish that you would hurt an animal?
Maybe permanently put it out of command.
Yeah.
And she wants to name and shame this rancher for being defensive of his horses.
So, Sheila, I haven't checked out the debate online, but please tell me the majority of people are coming to the defense of the rancher and his protection of his livestock, which is his livelihood.
Please tell me the social justice warrior mob isn't on her side in terms of saying, yeah, that horse should have potentially been crippled so that her self-esteem wasn't hurt.
How is it playing out?
It's about a 50-50 spot.
Yeah, people who I guess to use the words of Ben Shapiro, people who ascribe to the facts don't care about your feelings mantra, they're like, yeah, you can't just hurt a horse.
But other people are saying, you know, this is discrimination.
It's a horse.
It's not like an airline seat.
This is a horse.
It's a living thing.
And, you know, I'm, of course, I naturally believe that like humans are the top of the animal kingdom, but you can't go around hurting animals unnecessarily.
These are the same people who will say, though, out of the other side of their mouth, hunting is animal cruelty.
And don't eat meat because that's animal cruelty.
And it's like, well, excuse me, you want to flatten a horse?
Unbelievable.
You know, I think I'll even reach out to PETA and see if they have a statement on this.
Maybe they'll have to be twisted into a pretzel to get it.
Again, they'll come and euthanize that horse.
They'll show up with the like, yeah, maybe I better not do that.
Steath injection.
Yeah, don't do that.
But, you know, and I just want to say this about the body positivity movement.
And I'm speaking here as a heterosexual male.
I don't buy into the whole media generated perfection of a woman, i.e. the supermodel.
To me, those look like the physiques of teenage boys.
These women look like they're starving.
I want to shove a donut down their mouth.
I think most heterosexual males prefer women to be curvy.
But having said that, it's all in moderation.
You know, if you go all out fat, if you go obese, as Sheila was saying, folks, what are you risking?
You're risking diabetes.
You're risking heart disease.
You're risking so many problems.
And by the way, if you're looking at me right now and saying, oh, look at menzoid skinny mini lecturing us.
No, I'm fat.
And the only reason I'm not circus fat is because I get my Ricota cheese candy ass on a bicycle at least five or six days out of a week.
That's why I don't like it some days.
I have to force myself like the last several times.
Still, you have to do it.
When we cater, Sheila, to the lunatic fringe that eat as much as you want, be as sedentary as you want.
We are putting them on the route to an early grave, period.
Where's the compassion there?
Well, that's where I'm at.
You know, live your life however you want, however you want.
Eat however you want.
That's fine.
But let's not consider you a health influencer, if you will.
Let's not, just because you don't feel bad about yourself.
And I don't want people to feel bad about themselves, but also I'm Catholic.
So I think shame is a highly effective feeling.
It keeps you on the straight and arrow sometimes.
But, you know, I'm with you that it is a sweet, sweet lie to tell people that, you know, that, you know, you're healthy at every size.
That's just, it's not scientific.
It's just, they tell me to follow the science.
I'm following the science.
It's just not healthy.
I'm sorry.
It's not, you know, the nicest thing to hear, but it is true.
And I, I, I come from the side of the equation where I want everybody to feel good and their body to do the thing that they want it to do.
Um, that's where I'm at on this.
And by telling people that, you know, just, you know, do whatever you want and eat whatever you want.
Again, I don't want to make it illegal and I don't want warning labels on food.
I think I'm pretty clear about that.
But I think, to be fair, let's not ignore the science here.
Yeah, I want a warning label on the horse's ass saying that.
And I'm talking about the livestock here, folks.
Weight limit.
Weight Limits and Warning Labels00:15:26
Yeah.
You know, caution, you know.
And again, what's with that pseudo-power girl top?
And by the way, if anyone in the studio can conjure up an issue of Power Girl, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about because I know that that seemed really odd.
And the way that photo was cropped, I think, Sheila, it made you look, it made it seem to me that this was not an overweight person.
I think that was deliberate practice.
By design.
Yeah, by design.
Yeah, because until you showed me the whole enchilada, so to speak, it looked like this is a person that's had too few more enchilados that she should be eating.
And just so the viewers at home know, every time I see David in person, he tells me to eat more.
Every single time.
I tell you, I bought, sorry.
You tell me to eat more.
Every single time I see you, you say, Sheila, you're too thin.
Sheila, you're too thin.
Every single time I see you.
Without fail.
You have to admit, you have lost a lot of weight.
I don't think so.
To me, Perfect Sheila was the 2018 edition.
You know, it was.
That's rude.
No.
That's rude.
And then you fell in love with a treadmill.
I've always been in love with the treadmill.
But I'm falling out of love with you real fast.
And you know what?
And I'm telling you, Sheila, just like in moderation with the donuts and the fast food meals, in moderation with the treadmill, because I'm afraid you're like that movie from the 60s, The Incredible Shrinking Man, although you're a woman, of course.
Although maybe you're identifying as a man, it is probably not right now.
But in any event, you're just shrinking before my eyes.
I'm getting scared.
Speaking of getting scared, we should move away from this topic before Mr. Operations Manager comes in and is like, get the hook.
That's never a good thing when the management glares at me through the glass.
I have to go into my Johnny LaRue mode.
Please, Mr. Keller.
Please.
One more chance.
Let's move into Adam Vancouverden.
I think is how you say his name.
Oh, yes.
Because he said some less than kind things to a constituent who is, I think she was sort of stranded away from her family.
And so she reached out to her MP, because who else are you supposed to reach out to?
And he basically tells her to F off.
Not basically, he did.
And I'm PGifying it.
Tells her to F off.
And then his response to that is, yeah, says F you to Canadian woman criticizing vaccine mandates.
Now, he apologizes, but to the world, I don't think he's reached out to this lady directly.
Oh, no.
And then, typical liberal, this is a learning experience for all of us.
And apparently, it's been real hard on him too.
The mandates he put in place have been real hard on him.
Well, okay.
Anyway, let's read this because he tells this lady to go F you.
Let's bring it back up.
Because the gall of this guy says, Last week I let my emotions get the better of me and I responded in an unacceptable way to a direct message, and I regret that.
I want to apologize to the person I offended with the message and anyone else I've let down.
I realize the past two years, this is my favorite.
I realize the past two years have been exceptionally difficult for everyone.
And moving forward, I will work to be more patient and conduct myself with the high standard people deserve from their elected representatives.
The last two years have been difficult because of the rules you people brought in.
So he creates, he's complaining that his own pressure cooker that he created is to pressure cookery for him.
Yeah.
And she break for everyone.
Not for everyone.
The bureaucracy never lost a single hour's worth of work.
People in government didn't.
In fact, in many cases, they voted themselves raises, making a mockery of we're all in this together.
But you know, I will say this, Sheila.
I'm going to give him a tip of the hat in terms of actually making an apology because you might recall that back in the 1970s, Trudeau Classic, as opposed to new Trudeau, Justin, he said the F word in parliament and he lied through his teeth saying what he actually said was fuddle-duddle.
A word that come in confusion.
I mean, Sheila, until Pierre Trudeau said the words fuddle-duddle, I don't think anyone on the planet ever said the words fuddle-duddle.
He coined the word, I think, and he never took it back.
He never had the decency.
Everyone heard what he had to say.
So the fact that he would lie in addition to uttering a profanity in Parliament was doubly egregious in my book.
So at least this guy has the sense to realize that's not an appropriate word to use in parliament.
Well, he didn't use it in parliament anymore.
Oh, sorry, no, on social media.
But still, he's a parliamentarian.
Yeah, exactly.
And we do expect better, I should think, of the people we elect.
And that's why language matters.
Because if anyone's.
The bar is pretty low.
You know, the bar is pretty low between the liberal MPs walking around naked twice and cursing out their constituents.
The bar is pretty low.
You know?
But, and, and that's, and for those who say, oh, come on, she's never heard the F-bomb.
She's never heard this bad word, this profane phrase, et cetera.
No, that's not the point.
If you have elected leaders, there should be a benchmark of actually using civil and decent language.
You shouldn't have to pay the guy who's cursing you out.
Exactly.
You know, so, um, you know, so really that was, and, and, and you know, I think too, Sheila, the fact that you made a good distinction there.
I made the mistake of saying he said it in parliament, but it was on social media.
Unlike Pierre Trudeau, who probably had an emotional outburst, but still lied about it, uh, this uh paddler actually went on a keyboard and typed the uh phrase and press send.
Yeah, so there were many seconds of uh, you know, coolant mode, coolant mode, you know, that was ignored, and he still sent it.
And also, with the realization that as the cliche goes, the internet is forever.
When I press send, it's it's never going to be erased.
Somebody's got a screen capture of it somewhere, maybe in Timbuktu or New Zealand, it doesn't matter.
So once it's sent, it's a matter of permanent record.
I wrote it.
It's no misunderstanding between F Classic and Fuddle Duddle.
And that really speaks to his, I guess, his lack of intelligence as a communicator.
For sure.
Now, I think we have a clip, Olivia whispers in my ear of, is this from the House of Commons where he's asked about this?
Perfect.
Well, the Liberals are in fine form.
They made a big announcement on Friday.
Did they end mandates allowing people to return to work?
Nope.
Did they end mandates allowing all Canadians to travel by rail and air?
No.
Their solution was to pause random COVID testing for a couple of weeks.
It was a joke.
So will the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health give us a date on when he'll end the mandates or will he tell me to F off like he did to one of his constituents?
It's an unacceptable way to a message on social media.
And for that, I deeply regret it.
I want to apologize to the person that I offended and anybody else that I let down.
I realize that the past two years have been really difficult for a lot of people, but my conduct is unacceptable.
We have an obligation to disagree while being disagreeable.
And in that regard, I failed.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
I think you should apologize for his fashion sense.
There are so many lines.
I know it was a lot.
I didn't know where to look again.
It felt like that flag we looked at the other day.
But, you know, Laura Rosen Cohen, who writes for Mark Stein Online, she had the best response to this.
She said, be kind to me.
I'm an orphan, says the guy who murdered his parents.
And that's exactly what it is here.
You, the last two years have been hard on you.
Yeah, they're hard on all of us because of the decisions privileged parliamentarians like you made.
Yeah, so don't complain that it's hard.
You made it hard.
You know, I heard on the sporting scene, this was a very arrogant person, not very well liked.
So naturally, the career transition from paddling his kayak to becoming a member of parliament for the Liberal Party of Canada makes perfect sense.
He fits right in.
Yeah.
Now, in the other big news today, maybe we should move along to the fact that apparently today, it hasn't been officially announced, or at least it wasn't officially announced before.
We went on air.
The vaccine mandates, I'll believe it when I see it.
Yeah.
They're set to be announced to be dropped today to drop tomorrow, it sounds like.
And that's for air and rail travelers domestically.
Now, you still can't get into the United States as a non-citizen without your vaccine.
But this, if it is indeed this way, it's good news.
You know, what's shocking though is the Minister of Transport had no idea that this was coming because our team, you know, the guy has no idea about anything though, like the mayhem unfolding in the airports.
He's just like, I don't know.
He had no idea that this was coming.
I think he was sort of caught flat-footed by this.
And our guys, Lincoln Jay and William, who is a new reporter with us, they caught him out on the streets of Ottawa yesterday at a very high-dollar liberal fundraiser.
I think it was $1,000 a plate to be a part of this.
And it required a vaccine passport to be there because the Liberals, even if you give them money, they don't want to mix with the unvaccinated because you're dirty.
Your money's fine, but you're dirty.
Um, and they caught Omar Al Jabra, the transport goblin, out on the street, and he had no clue what was going on.
Why don't we throw to that, please?
What did you think of the fact that Canada is the only country with China and North Korea that doesn't allow unvaccinated citizens travel to planes?
How are you?
I'm super good.
How about you?
I'm time past.
Can you answer my question?
When will the travel mandates end for unvaccinated citizens?
Does Ontario have a different sign than the federal government?
Do you have like different scientists?
Have a good evening.
Do you have different scientists?
Have a good evening.
Are you able to answer one question, sir?
You've been elected by a people.
Sir, is there any hope for unvaccinated travelers to board a plane or travel?
Is there any hope forever?
As I said, science is.
But the science changes.
Ontario is not the same as the federal.
Do you have different scientists?
Different scientists?
Sir, is there any hope for unvaccinated travelers anytime soon?
China and North Korea, sir.
When will it end?
Is it going to be forever?
My favorite is when William waves to him in the car, like, bye.
No, Sheila, my favorite is the SUV moves like about three meters and hits a red light at Spark Street, which is a pedestrian-only road the other way.
It's normally a getaway.
I want to commend William.
He was so unflustered.
And given that this was his first time, polite.
You know, he was getting non-answers.
And instead of asking.
Yeah, and he just kept asking.
And even asked, you know, the minister, am I going to get an answer to my questions?
Which was a perfectly fine question.
And I just think that, you know, Omar Cotter, I mean, Omar Al-Gabra looked so bad in that clip because he's just saying, have a nice night.
How are you?
He looked like an imbecile.
He is a parliamentarian.
He should be able.
Look at the dumb smile on his face.
Oh, yeah.
The transport goblin.
It really is.
He's like a creature at a load of the rings, isn't he?
But as a parliamentarian, for goodness sakes, one of the reasons you're there is that you can communicate.
You are a politician.
That's what politics is all about, Sheila.
And for him to just say, you know, do the Bobby Bittman, hi, how are you?
routine for every question, it's brutal.
What I'm saying is William and Lincoln Jay, they looked great.
He looked terrible.
He's literally running away.
Well, running away in terms of a OJ Simpson Bronco slow speaker, but he's running away from giving any tangible response at all.
What a disgrace.
Yeah, and I think, you know, people sometimes online, they give me a hard time about my lack of respect for Omar Al Jabra.
But the man is the guy behind the absolute mayhem happening at Toronto Pearson.
The transport ministry is the reason why that's happening.
A lot of people don't know, but as a cost-saving measure during the pandemic, besides the vaccine firings, as a cost-saving measure, they cut a bunch of security screeners.
I think it's like 30% of the security screeners.
And so it's absolute chaos there.
And, you know, in the rare time when the liberals try to save money, they even get that wrong.
And then 6 million Canadians are being discriminated against on his watch.
And all he has is that blank, idiotic look on his face and like a dumb wave out the window.
So yeah, I don't respect him.
I don't think he's very bright.
And he is a goblin.
But you know what, Sheila?
I can't get that phrase.
Minister's Dumb Wave00:07:14
I want to go back to something you said earlier.
And this might be why he had a blank, idiotic look on his face because it was coming from a place of honesty.
And what I'm getting at is, do you think Omar, the Minister of Transportation, was somehow left out of the loop that when CBC got tipped off, it was probably by Justin Trudeau himself, the chief sugar daddy for the CBC and the mainstream media.
And maybe Trudeau forgot to say, oh, by the way, Omar, just so you know, that might have been genuine shock that he didn't know what, you know, what it reminds me of, I go back to 2019, we've got it on film.
You can go into the archives, folks, when Marco Mendicino was at a synagogue in the Eglinton Lawrence riding, having a debate with the other candidates.
And literally during the debate was when the Justin Trudeau blackface story broke, that infamous photo of him at that Arabian Nights gala where he's got blackface, not only blackface, black hands too.
He really went.
Black hands, black neck, everything.
And I went up to Marco Mendocino after the debate was over and I kept asking him questions.
What do you think about this?
Is this the kind of leader that you want to serve?
And for once in his life, Marco Mendocino did not lie.
And the reason he did not lie, Sheila, is that for once in his life, he kept his big, fat, lying mouth shut so that there were no words.
He looked like Bambi in the high beams of a Hummer on the 401, okay?
He was absolutely shocked.
And I'm getting the same vibe from how Omar looked with William and Lincoln.
Well, you could have euthanized the confrontation there.
And it wasn't even a confrontation.
It was tense, but I think courteous.
You could have euthanized it and taken all the air out of the balloon there if he said, if when William and Lincoln asked, you know, when, when does this end?
He could have said tomorrow and slammed the door in their face and then drove nine feet or whatever it was before he hit a red light.
But, you know, he could have said tomorrow, watch for it.
And that would have been the end of it, knowing full well that it had already been leaked to CBC at that point, because I think the news broke like as that was happening.
But he didn't know.
He obviously didn't know.
I think you're right, Sheila.
Because he also could have used the strategy of turning the tables on Lincoln and William and just say, well, we're getting rid of mandates.
I thought that's what your news organization has been campaigning for.
You should be happy about this.
Why are you pestering me?
I've acquiesced to one of your demands, right?
But like you said, he was left out of the loop.
And he's the transport minister.
I know.
And William's questions were so good when he's like, do they have different scientists in Ottawa than in the rest of Ontario?
Clearly they do.
Yeah.
How is the science different?
Ottawa is in Ontario.
He's like, how is the science different?
How is it different for you than it is for the provincial governments?
And he just couldn't say he just waved bye-bye like a toddler out the window.
Oh, 100%.
You know, as mom is pulling away from the daycare, there's, you know, little Omar waving out the window.
And by the way, talk about getting hoisted on one's own petard.
The reason why he had to do that long walk down that street towards Nate's Delicatessan, which is a fantastic deli.
If you're downtown Ottawa, go check it out, folks.
But the reason is, is that the kilometer and a half or so of Wellington Street, right in front of Parliament Hill, is still closed to traffic, folks, even though the convoy was dismantled back in late February.
We're now heading into July, and it's going to be like that until at least the end of the year.
Ottawa City Council is saying it might be like that permanently, which is a disgrace because Parliament Hill should not be cut off from the people of Canada.
We own that hill, not the Liberal Party of Canada.
But Sheila, the irony is, is that had Wellington Street still been open to vehicles, that SUV could have gone and picked up Omar Al Gabra far before he did that like two or 300 meter walk down that sidewalk.
So, you know, my thanks to the city of Ottawa for putting up a hurdle for liberal politicians trying to make a quick getaway.
That's good for us here at Rebel News.
You know, what's interesting too is that we knew that that event was happening because they send that garbage out in a press release.
But guess who the only journalists were there?
You know, because nobody wants to ask these people a tough question.
You know, they're all going to be in attendance.
You know that there's actual news out there that Canadians want answers to.
And it's a journalist's job to hold the government to account.
But there were no journalists asking these guys questions.
That surprises me.
Well, do you bite the hand that feeds?
Really?
Do you bite the hand that feeds?
They know where their paycheck's coming from.
It's not selling subscriptions.
It's not, you know.
No, I mean, and the fact that the federal government is doing this, well, it was ever thus with CBC, but for years now, the $600 million plus top-up for the print media.
Otherwise, that's dead on the vine.
But even here in Ontario, Doug Ford giving Torstar Corporation a $500 million a year gambling license, the first online gambling license.
And this is the same Torstar, publisher of the Toronto Star that Doug and his late great brother Rob Ford referred to as a bunch of maggots.
And now it's Christmas every day of the year, thanks to that gambling license.
And again, I think it's the Doug Ford team taking a page out of Justin Trudeau.
Let's buy off the nastiest journalists by throwing money at the problem.
Seems to have worked, Sheila.
Yeah, I think so, 100%.
And I wonder what the McLean's circulation is like these days as more 80-year-old dentists require or retire from the business, because that's the only place that I've seen McLean's magazine in print form in a very long time.
Oh, was it the dentist's office?
And it was like four years old.
Sheila, this just in, I can tell you, not even at walk-in clinics, doctor's offices, dental offices.
I'm going by my experience in the last two years.
Are those magazines there because of, well, you guessed it, COVID?
You know, we can't be passing around filthy, germ-spreading printed materials.
Why It Won't Fly00:11:51
So they're gone.
I mean, when I go to my dentist's office, he's got a built-in rack where all the magazines were nicely displayed.
It's been empty for two years, and I don't think it's ever coming back.
That might be the only thing I'm cheering for COVID to stop.
You know?
I just hooked open this Patrick Brown National Post op-ed.
What was the purpose of writing this?
Well, like, what did what?
Where's the news peg here, as they say in the business?
What was the point of writing this thing to accuse conservatives of being racist when we're not?
Let's just read through this really fast here, or at least some of it.
Patrick Brown.
Dual loyalties trope has no place in our politics.
The problematic tropes of dual loyalties or ulterior motives are two that are regularly and unfairly follow members of various groups feeling bigotry and discrimination against some of the most marginalized.
I think this is a backroom defense of Teresa Tam because it's so often the left says, oh, you're being critical of Teresa Tam because you think that since she is from Hong Kong, she couldn't possibly be loyal to Canada.
No, it's because she also works for the World Health Organization that I think she doesn't always have Canada's best interests at heart.
And the World Health Organization is deeply, deeply polluted by their loyalties to communist China.
It's got nothing to do with the fact that she's ethnically Chinese from Hong Kong.
Anyway, let's keep reading this because this, again, as you say, it could be written by Jess Interdeau or any member of the Liberal Party of Canada.
There is an issue with how some treat the participation of minority groups in Canada's democratic process.
It definitely feels as if suspicion is the default position in some in the media and politics.
This is wrong.
Who's he talking about here?
Who feels this way?
I know.
It's not the, he obviously isn't referring to CBC.
Is he referring to us here?
Because we over and over again, if he's saying that, you know, like we're critical of Chinese Canadians, actually, I'm a fan of Chinese Canadians.
It takes a lot to come here.
Did I just freeze up with my mouth wide open?
It takes a lot to come here and be critical of the communist state from which you fled, knowing that you have a government in Ottawa that will do nothing to protect you from the tentacles of the Chinese state as they infest Canada.
So you can be bullied, even though you came to Canada to be free.
And of all the people who are sounding the alarm bells about some policies that communist Chinese interlopers take advantage of, it's the Chinese expat community here in Canada.
Guess who are the ones that were sounding the alarm bells about anchor babies to use an American phrase?
Chinese women who are, and there's statistics from Vancouver hospitals about this, who come here deeply pregnant to have their baby so that the baby sponsors them as citizens.
And you know who keeps bringing forward that issue at the Conservative Party of Canada convention?
Chinese Canadian conservatives.
But I guess, according to Patrick Brown, those people are racist accusing people of dual loyalties.
Well, Sheila, one thing I have to say about this odd placement of that commentary is the fact that I learned over the weekend, and I have to confirm this.
So, you know, and I'm going to look into it.
But one of Paul Godfrey's sons is evidently connected to the Patrick Brown campaign.
So, and Paul Godfrey, because the National Post is owned by Post Media.
And so there might be the connection of why that gets into the paper.
Because, you know, if I was the editor, if I was the publisher, and geez, what do I know with almost 40 years of journalism under my belt, Sheila?
I think the story, I think the news peg, I think the crux of the matter right now, vis-a-vis Patrick Brown, is, what was it again?
Oh, yeah, using paid city of Brampton senior employees to work on his membership selling campaign.
Nope, zip.
We won't write about that.
And I did speak out to a reporter in that organization.
I'm not going to name who that person is.
But that person said that story is not going to fly given the internal politics.
So you see what's happening here, folks, in terms of the behind the scenes situation with what gets into the paper and what stays out of the paper.
And the National Post is ostensibly a right-of-center paper.
I mean, it's not your father's National Post to paraphrase the Oldsmobile ad of yesterday decade.
It's not the National Post when Conrad Black was the founder of that post.
And what a fantastic paper it was.
I loved freelancing for it now.
Now you've got basically woke staff within it that, well, do you remember what was it a year or two ago when they had a petition against Rex Murphy, probably the numero uno talent at the National Post because he did something unwokey?
That's the National Post of today.
So they publish this tripe, this garbage.
And again, it's Patrick Brown saying anything to anyone, whether or not he believes it, whether or not he's going to mandate it.
That's besides the point.
It's all about the quest for power for the simple reason of he wants power.
He's not about public service.
He's not about making Canada better.
He's not about standing up for Canadian minorities.
It's me, enough about me.
Let's talk about me.
That's Patrick Brown.
Well, and this is crazy because I don't understand what prompted this to be written in the first place.
Patrick Brown, he writes an article accusing Canadians of being racist, particularly Canadian conservatives of being racist.
And then he says, but don't worry, I'm not racist and I'll lead the party out of our racism.
For example, he says, we cannot expect people to break away from their heritage or to not have opinions on current affairs from where they may have immigrated from.
Well, who is saying that they can't?
Who?
Who's saying that they can't?
This is a reality for most Canadians as we all are immigrants, save for our Indigenous peoples.
One of the beautiful parts of our country is the ability to maintain pride in one's roots while maintaining a deep love of being Canadian.
Some only see the worst in the Chinese Canadian community, pushing them away and attempting to dismiss their diverse concerns by alleging they are simply directives from foreign bodies.
Nobody is saying that.
Wait a minute, but Sheila is saying that.
Who?
Show me.
Who's the pusher?
Who are these people?
I mean, what is he talking about?
You know, that's bad journalism, by the way, because at the end of that sentence, the following sentence should happen, Sheila, which is, for example, consider this incident, consider that.
But it's all abstract.
There's nothing tangible there.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
It's just like Canadians are racist, but I'm not.
So that's why conservatives have to vote for me.
And that's literally Justin Trudeau's campaign slogan.
You guys are racist, but I'm not.
Ignore the blackface, vote for me.
Yeah.
And in Brown's case, and if you ask me any impolite questions, I will phone the police.
Yes.
Oh, ketoke.
Okay, we've got a few chats to read.
Fantastic.
And then we're going to go, we're going to sign off.
But if people want to stay on the live stream, we're going to go straight into the announcement of hopefully the repeal of the travel restrictions.
And then Ezra, I predict that he will take to the skies like some mighty Jewish eagle.
And he will fly all over the country and out to our beloved Calgary.
I just, I see it.
Like when I heard that it was potentially falling today, I thought, oh, Ezra's like booking flights right now because he really, I think he missed flying and connecting with us and going around the country and visiting our journalists and the people, like the people who've supported us over the last couple of years in spite of the pandemic and the lockdown and the hit to their finances.
They keep telling us to fight on.
We've got a lot of thanking those people in person to do.
Well, I want to tell the big boss man next time I see him, if he is going to fly out to Calgary, find out if there are flights going out of Hamilton Airport to Calgary.
The time it takes to drive to Hamilton, even in rush hour, you are going to more than make up from that swamp, that slice of hell that is Pearson International Airport, where people are spending hours, in some cases, a couple of days.
They sleep over in the airport to get processed or maybe they've missed their connecting flight, which is very much du regue these days.
So if Ezra can book that flight to Calgary out of Hamilton, it is worth the drive, Sheila.
I wouldn't go anywhere near Pearson International Airport.
I think it is the worst airport in the world right now.
In the world.
And, you know, I would probably drive to Calgary before climbing through the mess of Pearson.
But like I said, drive down the QEW to Hamilton, fly out there, and Bob's your uncle.
Well, David, that reminds me to ask you, and since I'm doing this on air, then you can't say no.
My daughter has to fly to the country for rugby in a week, and I might need you to perform a rescue mission at Pearson Airport.
I would be delighted.
That's where she connects through.
And I'm like, oh my goodness, you're going to be across the country away from me, stuck in the hellscape of Toronto Pearson.
Good thing there's an office full of people who can come rescue you if you have to spend the night in Toronto.
Sheila, you give me the day and the time.
The only question I have: do you want her picked up in the Green Goblin or the Red Rocket?
Oh, we're going to have to go with combustion for sure.
Anyway, now that you said it on air, you can't take it back.
So, anyway.
No, I'd be happy to do so.
Okay, let's get to some of these chats.
We've got Fraser McBurney, Fight The Finds Your Cidivist from Hamilton with his cap locks, fully engaged, gives us five bucks and says, Have you seen the lists of food plant fires since January 2022?
I sure have.
I know Tucker Carlson's been on this case.
I mean, he's really been the first person who sort of put together all these food processing plants that have had mysterious fires in the last, I guess, six months.
Severe Weather Alerts00:02:15
Speaking of fires and catastrophes, I feel like I've gone back in time a little bit because Fort McMurray has a fire sort of raging just outside of it, but it seems to be under control and Calgary potential flooding today.
So Calgary declared a state of emergency yesterday.
So I don't know if they're experiencing any of the Bow River breaking its banks, but they're on alert.
And of course, naturally, that reminds me, I should send our researcher a quick note to see if you can snag any environmentalists and left-wing activists who always say they're not religious, but every time that there's a fire or flood, they claim it is the smite of the earth coming after us for our climate sins.
So I always like to pay attention to those when people take somebody's misery and destruction and use it for their own cause.
You know, Sheila, three weeks ago, we had a so-called severe weather alert.
It was a storm that lasted maybe 15 or 20 minutes.
Trees fell down.
I mean, it was super severe.
I mean, I guess it was close to a hurricane technically.
And when you tuned into the mainstream media on TV and radio, basically the lead, well, another example that climate change or the climate crisis is real as a windstorm touchdown in North Toronto.
Sheila, these storms have been around since the inception of the planet.
I mean, and they can't even make the distinction between weather and climate.
And, you know, a 15-minute storm is all the proof you need that we're in a climate crisis.
Give me a break.
Well, that's the thing.
In fact, I've seen some meteorological data that shows that there are actually fewer hurricanes and severe weather events in that respect.
And the ones we do get, they claim fewer lives because of humans' ability to adapt and be resilient to their environment.
But instead of even if climate change were happening, and even if my beautiful, comfortable SUV were doing it, pretty sure we're adaptable.
Like we can send people off the planet to the moon.
Third Debate Buck Offer00:03:06
We're getting into commercial commuter space travel at this point.
Pretty sure we can adapt to a 0.2% or whatever it is of global climate.
And by the way, how do you even measure that?
What's 2%, 0.2% of a degree?
How do you measure that across the surface of the face of the earth?
Yeah.
And I'm sure those contrarians are now called deniers, even though they have extensive qualifications to weigh in on this match.
By the way, Sheila, do you have any desire to go up into space?
No, not at all.
Really?
I don't even like flying.
Yeah, no, not at all.
Well, I don't even like flying.
I do it for work.
I'm claustrophobic, David.
Remember?
That's true.
I did know, but I mean, wouldn't being in space be the polar opposite of being in a claustrophobic environment, given that it's the solar system, the galaxy, the universe.
You're just like this being crushed.
At least that's how I feel.
It'd be like putting me in a submarine.
The vastness of the ocean is no consolation for the fact that I'm in this thing.
My problem is I can't afford the ticket.
I think these are what seven or eight figure tickets to get on these spaceships.
And too bad.
I'd be so gung-ho, Sheila.
I might even wear a Star Trek uniform.
Pretend I'm on Starflow.
Of course, you would.
Okay, we got to breeze through these because we got to get to this thing.
And I talked too much.
Okay, joyful from the heart gives us a buck.
Any thoughts on Leslie Lewis saying she would do a third debate if it is with the independent press?
Yeah, I thought that was weird that some of the other candidates are like, I'm in for a third debate.
And we're at the Independent Press Gallery, we're over here saying, yeah, we organized one and you guys backed out.
So I like that Lesland is saying that, pointing out, yeah, we tried to have one and you guys were too scared.
Exactly.
Cheryl Don V gives us a buck.
Is the rebel investigating the Klondike papers?
No, I'm not.
I'll look into it.
I'm not sure if there's any, if that's QAnon business, but I will look into it when I'm not doing other things.
Mick3.ca, one buck to whoever thinks the travel ban ends for good.
No, it won't unless all the elites are arrested for good.
No, it's not going to happen.
Word has it that in Quebec and Toronto, people are receiving the monkeypox jab.
I'm not sure.
I didn't hear that.
No, but I know that none of these people are going to be arrested.
We'll be for what, by the way.
And secondarily, I don't even think we're going to get a full accounting for what happened and how things were mismanaged, let alone people be incarcerated for their role in any of it.
I'm just not hopeful.
I'm just not going to let them make a monkey out of me with this fact.
One O'clock Announcement00:00:36
Wow.
Okay, let's wrap it up.
We got to go to that announcement.
Okay, then.
All right.
Well, folks, thank you so much for tuning in.
I think it's one o'clock right on the dot.
So tight show today.
My thanks to Sheila Gunread, the team behind the boards there.
That would be Danny and Olivia and Ephryn.
And thank you for all of you who made super chats.
It's how we keep the lights on here.
In the meantime, two other rebels will be here at 12 noon Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday.
