David Menzies and Tamara Ugalini mark National Fudge Day (June 16, 2022) before diving into Patrick Brown’s "assault on democracy"—skipping Brampton City Council meetings to dodge scrutiny over selling Conservative Party memberships with taxpayer-funded staff. His past includes hiring Paladin Security to enforce COVID lockdowns and altering bylaws after firing the integrity commissioner, while Marco Mendocino faces calls to resign for lying about Emergencies Act requests, despite no evidence. Meanwhile, Donna Svetkos lost her job for displaying We the Fringe flags, sparking debates on corporate censorship. The episode ties these controversies to broader political corruption, questioning whether conservative candidates like Pierre Polyev can deliver on promises while evading accountability.

You have tuned into the Rebel News live stream on this, a Thursday, June 16th, 2022.
I'm David Menzies and my co-host.
Well, let me tell you a little bit about my co-host.
You know what, folks?
Today is National Fudge Day.
I was going to get her some delicious maple syrup fudge, but you know what?
I forgot to pack it.
Anyway, she is the she-devil with a slingshot.
She is the calicie of Coburg.
She is Tamara Ugalini.
How you doing there, Tamara?
I would be a lot better if I had some maple syrup fudge, David.
How could you?
How dare you forget that I had no idea it was national.
Where do you come up with this stuff?
How do you know that it's National Fudge Day?
Tamara, there's actually a calendar.
There's a website, and there's multiple things that happen on every day.
Sometimes I'm confused as to which one to pick.
There was a really lame National Something Day, but fudge, I mean, everyone's got to love fudge.
I mean, it probably isn't the best thing for you to eat if you're counting calories or if you're diabetic or whatnot.
But, you know, but it is amazing how industry groups get together and pick a specific day.
Like what I'd like to know, I'm sure there's something like the National Fudge Council.
Why June 16th?
Why is that your day?
And not June 16th.
Yeah, it seems like fudge would be melting on a day like today.
Let's make it more in the spring-fall.
Who even thought of these things?
You know what?
You're right.
This is more of a nice creamy kind of season right now.
So, but and I'm sure there's a banana split day, a Sunday day, a blizzard day, and et cetera, et cetera.
And we'll get to all of those as the weeks grind on.
So, Tamara, usually we tell the folks what it is we're trying to do in this next 58 minutes or so.
Yeah, so welcome to our daily live stream where we provide commentary on some of the hot news topics of the day and sometimes multiple days of the week before and after today.
So you can join us currently.
Challenging Community Standards00:15:44
We're on YouTube, Rumble, and Super U. Sometimes we get into some topics that go against the community standards.
Oh, and also Getter.
Sorry, I forgot Getter.
I think we're having some issues with some other platforms.
So those will be the main four that we're on currently.
And so sometimes we discuss some topics that are a little bit too hot for YouTube.
Unfortunately, their community standards are pretty stringent when it comes to questioning the narrative and the science.
I like to have a TM added at the end of that word these days.
So at some point in the live stream, we may have to migrate off of YouTube to those other three platforms again, Rumble, Super U, and Getter.
On Rumble, you can engage in the platform, engage with us throughout the live stream by sending a Rumble rant.
So that's where you provide a small monetary donation.
And then of course, we read your comment on screen and we can provide commentary on that as well.
So it's a nice way to engage with us and make sure that we keep the lights on and all of our equipment up to date and working.
And then on Super U, you can do that as well.
I forget what it's called, but anyway, you can send a chat there so that you can take part in our live stream because we're a fully donor-funded platform and we rely on your feedback and your contribution to keep us afloat.
So thank you in advance for doing that.
You know, Tamara, I love that phrase, community standards.
You have violated our community standards.
And when you reach out, of course, well, what exactly, what part of the community standards did I violate?
They never give you a straight answer.
It's such a sham.
I don't call it community standards.
I call it censorious thuggery.
To use one of those lines of our boss, Ezra.
That's what it's all about.
And again, I've said this before.
You go back some 15 years when all these platforms were starting up, Twitter and Facebook and YouTube.
And it was like, hey, come on, come on.
You know, this is the wild west of free speech.
Say what you will.
And then they gain critical mass, big time critical bass.
And guess what?
Then they start saying, well, you, you, you, and you, we don't like you.
Be gone.
And what a business plan, getting free content, right?
So they didn't have to pay anything.
No wonder they're multi-billion dollar big tech entities.
But it's the bait and switch I have always hated.
That in the beginning, they were desperate for content and they put everything up.
And then once they got to a certain financial position, they embrace one political leaning.
And so much for the Wild West of free speech.
It's a very controlled free speech biosphere now.
Absolutely disgraceful.
But, well, Tamara, we got so many incredible things to talk about.
Well, it wouldn't be.
Oh, go ahead.
Sorry.
No, well, I think that at the top of my tongue and our radar is this Patrick Brown funny business that always seems to be some sort of scandalous engagement that he has unfolding.
Why don't you tell us the latest scoop?
I know that that's been a hot topic of your reports recently.
And I mean, the scandals just keep coming.
It's like a snowball of scandals for Patrick Brown.
Indeed.
And Pierre Polyev, he tweeted out the letter from Brampton City Council.
And it's very much directly related to the video that premiered last week, Tamara, when Lincoln and Jay caught sneaky Patrick Brown at his secret Vaughan headquarters.
And basically the crux of the matter, folks, was that paid city of Brampton senior staff were not working on Brampton issues.
They were working on selling memberships for Conservative Party of Canada memberships, that is, for Patrick Brown to realize his leadership ambitions.
Just one problem with that.
It's against the rules.
If you look at Brampton's code of conduct, and this would be the same with any municipality, you cannot be on the town or city taxpayer dime, ostensibly working for the city and buggering off and working on some pet project.
And not only were people working out of this secret headquarters, Tamara, but some were flying across the country with Patrick Brown.
Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver.
That's a long way away from the city of Brampton.
But if I can, here's the press release that the city of Brampton put out yesterday.
It is shocking.
It reads as follows.
Today, Patrick Brown and his four council enablers refused to attend the Wednesday, June 15th council meeting, shutting down city business, bringing it to a grinding halt.
Why?
When Patrick Brown and his council followers don't get their way, they resort to tactics that put democracy under siege.
And basically, some of the business was taking care of replacements for Ward 7 and 8.
But the other order of business, which I'm sure Patrick Brown did not want to address, and this is what Lincoln Jay and I exposed him of doing, is the fact that he's been using taxpayer-funded city hall staff to work on his federal campaign to become the conservative leader.
This came as no surprise to us and members of the public who have watched for four years as the media have reported on irregularities in hiring and procurements.
Brown's friends have been getting lucrative contracts for work that was never completed.
So on one hand, Tamara, you have paid city of Brampton staffers not doing their work for the city, doing their work for Brown, not Brampton.
And then you have Patrick Brown allegedly going to his cronies, giving them contracts.
And that's bad enough.
That's a conflict of interest in and of itself.
But the fact that according to these counselors, these five counselors that signed this press release, that the work never got done anyways.
But here's the question.
And I'm reaching out to these counselors.
I hope to go to Brampton tomorrow and interview them or at least one of them.
I want to know, Tamara, because I'm not an expert on the Municipal Act, but is this even a thing?
Can a mayor and his lackeys just say, ooh, look at the agenda today.
This is a bit toxic for us.
I'm going to get in trouble.
I might even get an integrity commissioner complaint leveled against me.
What to do?
Oh, I know.
Why don't, hey, gang, why don't we just not show up so there isn't a quorum and there can't be a council meeting?
This is an affront.
This is an insult to democracy and to the taxpayers of Brampton, Tamara.
Absolutely.
I was just going to say what an assault on the democratic process for the mayor to garner enough support as well from the other councilors to be able to just completely skirt that whole council meeting so that he doesn't receive scrutiny and hopefully some sort of debate would happen there.
But I was really surprised to see just the wording of that letter.
You know, it's pretty aggressive.
So there must be things that are happening under the surface here that have obviously been kind of boiling and now it's boiling over the pot of sneaky Patrick Brown.
I just can't even believe someone like this is running to be leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, trying to uphold the democratic process and claim that he was against lockdowns and against all these restrictions.
I mean, this goes back, when was it in 2020 that you originally broke the story for anyone on the live stream here that is not familiar with the history of Mayor Patrick Brown in Brampton?
David, you're the better person to brief them on it.
Give us a quick little rundown of how he came on our radar and what he was doing in Brampton during the lockdown and the government imposed restrictions.
Indeed, Tamara, despite what Patrick Brown is saying on the campaign trail, that he was the mayor who was vociferously fighting back against lockdowns in Canada during the pandemic.
Nobody had a record like him.
Oh, that part is right.
Nobody had a record like him in embracing lockdowns because not only were the recreation facilities shut down, not only were the playgrounds fenced off, not only were the baseball diamonds and the soccer fields and the cricket pitches fenced off, but the city, Patrick Brown also hired, was it Paladin Paladin Security?
They don't have the power to issue tickets, but what they did do, and they were literally hiding in the bushes looking for violators and scoff laws, is they phone the bylaw enforcement officers and they come charging to the scene of the crime and hand out tickets.
So while that was going on in that hot summer of 2020, meanwhile, Patrick Brown had an entire hockey rink at his disposal for him and his Barry buddies to play hockey.
And there you are.
This is Lincoln Jay and I catching him red-handed at the hockey rink.
And what he said, Tamara, is that he was there to inspect the facility.
That is a verbatim quote.
He wasn't there to play hockey, but his hockey bag was there with his name and number on it.
Now, also, let's take him at his word.
If he's there to inspect the facility, why is he running away from me like a weasel?
Where's the inspection, Mr. Brown?
And it gets better.
He was being interviewed by Jerry Agar on News Talk 1010 yesterday, Tamara, and the story changed yet again.
He wasn't there to inspect the facility.
He was there to play hockey because three weeks prior to us going there, that was allowable.
No, it wasn't.
He keep, Tamara, like any compulsive liar, you keep lying and lying.
And you know what happens, my friend?
You lose track of the lies, right?
You know, you, you, so he's inspecting the facility.
No, no, no, I was there playing hockey because I was allowed to.
No, no, no.
It turns out that, you know, the rules were you could practice sports.
You could not play them except if you're the mayor and his buddies from Barry.
I want to, you know, highlight the question you asked, which is this, folks, do you want this man to be the head of the Conservative Party of Canada?
Do you want this man to potentially become prime minister?
We already have a lying liar, phony baloney in office right now.
His name is Justin Trudeau.
You want to continue on the Justin Trudeau legacy under the name of Patrick Brown?
Because that's what you're getting.
There is no, it's like the ABC laundry detergent of old comparing ABC to Tide Tamara.
Can you tell the difference?
I can't tell the difference.
They're cut from the same cloth.
And Tamara, this is the last thing I say before I'll throw it back to you.
I think Patrick Brown is a compulsive liar.
I think he's somewhat of a buffoon, but I think he's also dangerous.
And if, God forbid, some kind of quirky fluke gets him to head up the Conservative Party of Canada, he might just do irreparable damage, much like what happened more than a decade out west to the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta.
You might have to just burn it down and start over again.
This is how dire I think the situation is.
Yeah, I agree with everything you said there, especially with the compulsive lying.
But also, why would you want a pandemic peeping Tom who hired a private company to do his bidding to make sure that everyone was following the rules and staying home and saving lives so that he could go out and gallivant in the arena and still do all the things that the poor little kids trying to keep up with their extracurriculars were banned from doing.
Why would you ever want someone like that to be in any position of office, municipal, provincial, federal, or otherwise?
I don't even know how he became mayor of Brampton.
He's not even a Brampton resident.
The whole thing, his whole past, the history, what he's doing now, it all just reeks of scandal, scandal, scandal.
And then I don't even know if people realize this, but just published yesterday, and it is behind paywall, so we can show it on screen.
But in the, where was it, the Globe and Mail, they posted an article here that the Conservative Party is also investigating Patrick Brown over allegations of membership irregularities.
So the claim here, and again, this was ousted by Pierre Polyev, is that he was actually reimbursing people who paid membership to the Conservative Party to vote on the leadership debates.
I guess if you read through the article here against behind a paywall, but sometimes you can skirt that by using the Wayback machine.
So there's claims here that there was WhatsApp messages and telephone recordings to back up the claim that he has been reimbursing people for their membership fees to vote for him, arguably, is what I gather and assume based on this article.
So it's literally just one thing after another with Patrick Brown.
I just, I don't, I hope that there's some sort of nail in the coffin here from this Brampton council member letter that some accountability finally starts to rear its head because I think it's long overdue.
Wow, nail in a coffin, Tamara.
I think at this point, the lid to that coffin has been crazy glued shut.
This is an absolute joke that this man is still a contender.
He has to be investigated.
And by the way, you know, he is an evil genius in many respects because one of the first things he did when he became mayor of the city of Brampton, Tamara, is guess what?
He fired the integrity commissioner and he put in a new integrity commissioner who's a personal friend of his.
So when that hockey gate issue went under the integrity commissioner's bailiwick and there were several pages written about it, guess what, Tamara?
Parking Scandal Continues00:06:02
The only thing that she did a slap on the wrist for was that Mayor Brown was not wearing his mask.
That's it.
None of the other shenanigans.
Somehow he got off.
And partly in terms of getting off, you remember the story in the days ahead.
That was a Wednesday, I think.
In the weekend, the scuttlebutt was city of Brampton employees under orders from, well, guess who, retroactively changed the bylaw stipulation.
Well, it doesn't work that way.
You know, you can't say, yeah, it was illegal on Wednesday, but it's legal on Sunday, but we backdated the legality to Monday.
No, you know, but that is the character you're dealing with.
You know, I really think, and I was talking to Ezra about this the other day, Tamara, that if he really became prime minister, in terms of the grifting, he'd make Justin Trudeau look like amateur hour, like a real piker.
Because once he got his hand, once Patrick Brown would get his hands on access to the federal treasury, oh, look out.
You know, so this is a dangerous thought.
Yeah, this is very disturbing.
I mean, and what would he do if asked, faced with unfriendly questions in parliament, constantly proroguing it?
Because that's basically what he did in the city of Brampton yesterday.
And this is a scandal.
Like I said, folks, I'm reaching out to these counselors this afternoon.
We need to have an interview on this.
And by the way, one other thing, it's, and this is truly what makes Patrick Brown, I think, almost a sociopath, almost someone that embraces the, you know, the tactics of a dictator.
At the hockey rink in the weeks after we were documenting that he was still sneaking in there, he called the police.
As you remember, Tamara, I was charged with trespassing.
I was on the parking lot of a taxpayer-funded recreation facility that went to court.
We won.
They lost.
And also when Lincoln, Jay, and I a week ago Friday followed Patrick Brown on the highway.
He drove to police headquarters.
Oh my God, Tamara, I would love to know what Patrick Brown said on that 911 call.
Or was that a call to a personal cop?
I don't know what it was, but we know it was lies.
I suspect, and I have no way of proving this unless we get a transcript.
He probably said, you know, there's two guys and a black Mitsubishi following me.
I don't know.
Maybe they're carjackers.
I fear for my life.
And here we are, you know, following him.
And where does the OJ Simpson speed chase end at a Brampton police department, a division, rather, Tamara?
And the thing is, we followed him right into the parking lot.
Now, think of this, Tamara.
If Lincoln, Jay, and I were real badass gangbangers, there's the police station.
Wouldn't we be really stupid beyond description to follow our prey right into the parking lot of the police station?
And here we are scrumming him, asking him over and over again, are you using paid city of Brampton employees to do your bidding for the Conservative Party leadership campaign?
And as you can see, he won't answer.
Like a weasel, he is running away.
And he's literally just running into the police being like, save me.
Oh, yeah.
It's how cowardice.
It's so cowardice.
But to also have the fortitude to do all of these scandalous things and then go run and hide behind the police.
Astonishing.
And then as we're leaving, we're told by a sergeant, hey, come back outside.
I said, sure, why?
We're conducting a traffic stop.
You're conducting a traffic stop in a parking lot of a police station.
I'm the only one you're stopping.
Yes.
And we're detained for about 25 minutes.
And we're informed that a detective is starting a criminal harassment investigation.
Why?
I guess, Tamara, in the city of Brampton, you're not allowed to ask the mayor impolite questions.
And imagine that.
In Brampton, in Peel Region, what's been in the news lately?
Violent carjackings, homicides, right?
And that night after 10 p.m., Lincoln and I both receive a phone call from a detective to start the criminal harassment investigations of all the stuff going on in Brampton, right?
And in Peel Region, this is on the front burner asking impolite questions.
And I can tell you, we want to get, I'll have a video posted, I think, later today, folks.
Guess what?
Just like the trespassing charge, we won that too.
The detective decided there's absolutely no grounds to, you know, to proceed with criminal harassment charges.
Yes.
I'm not a police officer, but I know.
So, so we, the scandal continues.
You know, if if it's if it's Monday, and it's like the movie, if it's Tuesday, it must be Belgium.
Well, if it's Thursday, it must be a new Patrick Brown scandal.
And we're going to continue to look into this.
And, you know, enough about you'll hear it here first, folks.
Yeah, enough about Sneaky Patrick, because I'm sure there's more to come as, like you said, more scandals unfold and snowball here.
Scandals Unfold00:02:57
We already have some super chats or rumble rants, whatever they're called these days, super chats, rumble rants.
So let's go through a few of those before we switch topics here.
So Herbster, $983, $5.
Thank you.
Nice to see both of you.
David, you've been stellar on Emperor Patrick.
Keep pointing out his new clothes.
That's Herbert Hildebrand.
Hi, Herbert.
Thank you for that.
Oh, and then Hildebrand, I want to thank you for your donation and thank you for those kind words.
And here is somebody that knows.
Well, actually, I'm sorry, that is the son of the pastor, Herbert.
But Herbert is a true freedom fighter.
Their church out in Elmer has been grotesquely harassed by law enforcement.
And not even just the church, but them personally, the congregation personally as well.
It's so aggressive and vile what's happened to them in Alamer.
I hope that that's died down now.
I don't hear much about it.
Maybe they could give us an update.
But yeah, absolutely disgusting the way that they were being treated throughout the COVID narrative, simply for just wanting to continue gathering religiously.
Yeah.
And you know, Tamara, as we pointed out in our reports, that church is about, I would estimate, 300 meters away from a no-frills grocery store, jammed with shoppers.
And I don't begrudge no-frills.
I don't begrudge any business opening.
But how is it that you can have people physically come in, you know, and touch things and handle things?
And yet, what the church was doing at the time was having a drive-in sermon with the windows up, the sermon going through the radio to the attendees.
I mean, from a purely scientific point of view, there was no comparison which building was practicing better hygiene and sanitation.
But blind eye to no-frills, go after the church.
That was absolutely despicable conduct by the Elmer Police Department, if you ask me.
Yeah, absolutely.
And we're fighting some of those fines.
So for anyone who's not familiar, you can check out fightthefines.com and see some of our reports on that subject there.
Scott, not to tease, gives $5.
Thank you for that.
Patrick Brown gains his renown/slash as the crown clown of the lockdown.
I like that.
Although I do like pandemic peeping, Tom for those security guards hiding in bushes.
Like how absolutely creepy.
Isn't it amazing, Tamara?
And also, keep in mind about this.
Do you think they're doing that as volunteers?
The taxpayers of Brampton are hiring rats and snitches to call them out when they dare to have the temerity to bring their child to use the monkey bars or hit a ball around on a soccer pitch.
So you're paying for this harassment.
Fantastic Petition Against Liar Politician00:14:43
Unbelievable.
And he right now is saying there was no mayor other than I who was fighting against the lockdowns.
Are you kidding?
Joke.
What a joke.
Sociopath.
Yep.
Alfred C. gives $1.
Thank you.
Another Zaphoid Beeblebrocks.
Do you know what that is, David?
I'm not familiar.
Zaphoid Beeblebrox.
Is that some video game character?
Some of the young ones here know these.
The young ones.
Yeah.
Let me just see.
Let me see what a Zaphoid Beeblebrox is.
Okay.
I hope it's not something.
Yeah, it must be.
Character from Hitchhikers to the Galaxy.
Sorry, I'm not familiar with that.
Yes, that's right.
You know, I got to tell you, many years ago, I started that book, and I'm sorry, I never finished it.
It just didn't grab me.
But I think that name has been mentioned on the live stream.
And I think Sheila Googled it and Sheila found the same novel's name, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe.
Yeah.
Sorry there, Alfred C., for not knowing your reference.
Paul Otto Newman gives $5.
Thank you.
Michelle Rempelgarner has stepped away as Sneaky Patrick's campaign chair, reportedly to consider running for premier of Alberta.
Is this a sign that his campaign is sinking faster than the Titanic?
Yes, we forgot to touch on that too.
I think it might be, Tamara.
And I think, first of all, what in blue hell was she thinking jumping aboard the campaign a couple of months ago?
That's what I want to ask.
And secondly, I think that, you know, and I might be wrong, but I think that's an excuse.
I don't think she's going to run for UPC leader.
And I think her saying that is a way of saying, look, I've got to put my whole focus onto the UCP leadership run.
I don't know if she is truly a contender there, but I'll call him as I see him, Ms. Rempel Garner.
You finally woke up and smelled the Java and realized that you're jumping off a sinking ship.
Usually it's the rats that jump off the sinking ship first.
It's just that the head rat is the one on the bridge steering this ship.
That would be Patrick Brown.
So there you go.
Our capitalized friend Frasier McBurney gives $5.
Thank you, Frasier.
Thank you.
This shows you how corrupt the Conservative Party is.
Why have they not kicked Brown out of the Conservative Party?
He's just a crooked mayor, liar, liar, pants on fire.
Well, that's a great point.
And I think that, you know, that's why I referenced back to that Globe and Mail article that if he, if there are, if there is evidence and proof that he has facilitated reimbursement to people who bought memberships just to vote for him, that is definitely, I would assume, definitely against the constitution there of the Conservative Party.
And I believe would be legitimate grounds to kick him out of the leadership as a leadership contender.
And you know what?
I will reach out to the Conservative Party of Canada.
Hopefully someone will get back to me because, yeah, this, I mean, and also using paid city staffers.
Well, that might be a municipal, you know, faux pas, but certainly this ballot scandal, that's outrageous.
You, I would imagine, I mean, the question is, Tamara, how can you not disqualify him if these allegations are true?
Exactly.
Exactly.
And that's where, you know, I would love to hear the response.
And I look forward to your report.
Glad that you're on this, David, and following, having the follow-through on it that it obviously needs.
We have one more.
The Grouchy Fish gives $5.
The Conservative Party of Canada should remove Patrick Brown from the leadership race.
He is a stain on the party.
I tend to agree.
He sure is.
Yeah, I totally agree.
Speaking of liars who compulsively lie.
Well, Marco Mendocino, he was facing calls from the opposition.
Everyone's asking for him to step down, folks.
You know the story.
He's lied not once, twice, thrice, but more than a dozen times that law enforcement agencies asked the government to invoke the Emergencies Act.
Just one little hitch.
We can't find any police force in Canada that did indeed ask for this.
Not the Ottawa Police Service, not the RCMP, not the OPP, you name it.
There is no evidence of this.
And the other day we got a hold of our famous Jumbotron-equipped truck.
Well, it's not ours.
We rent it.
And by the way, if you want to help us out on the expenses, folks, that would be greatly appreciated.
And we drove it through Marco Mendochino's riding.
We actually went to his riding constituency office.
Lights were on, but nobody's home.
Well, actually, yeah, there was somebody home.
They just ain't unlocking the door.
How do you like that kind of transparency?
And then we drove it down to Young Dundas.
Is it still called Young Dundas Square?
Because I know Dundas is soon going to be eradicated from Toronto because of wokeness and did some streeters.
So why don't we throw a little footage about this?
Because this guy is just clinging to his lies and he will not go.
So this is part of the campaign that you have spearheaded, David, the firemendocino.com.
So obviously we are calling for the termination of another, like you said, another liar here who's supposed to be representing the people, who's an elected representative, supposed to be upholding the democratic process, who is just straight up lying and then not acknowledging it, not even coming forward and saying, you know what?
Yeah, okay, I was mistaken.
I was wrong and I lied.
And this is how we're going to deal with it.
Instead, they just try to repeatedly cover their tracks.
And it's becoming increasingly apparent that these people have zero accountability to us, to the people.
Well, absolutely, Tamara.
And now the spin cycle goes into effect because the minister has been caught lying.
And that is Mendocino trotting out the deputy minister, Rob Stewart, I believe his name is.
And he said several days ago, Tamara, you know, and it's just so shocking how the lies just continue.
Oh, it was a misunderstanding.
You see, law enforcement agencies were asking for the tools in the Emergencies Act, not the whole Enchilada Emergencies Act, right?
Oh, really?
How is that a clarification?
How is that any kind of statement that is any different from the original lie?
Because show me the cops, show me the law enforcement agencies that were asking for the tools in the Emergencies Act.
That doesn't exist either, Tamara.
Well, and how do you get the tools without invoking the Emergencies Act?
They're one in the same thing.
So it's just more double speak by the Liberal government.
And it's obviously becoming increasingly clear that they just wanted to be able to freeze the assets of anyone involved and show them the full hammer of the government that is no longer acting as though it's a free and democratic elected party and thing.
We're going to take the role of dictator now.
100%, Tamara.
And I want to tell our audience: if you can, please sign the petition.
You can go to firemandichino.com.
That's firemandichino.com.
I will be personally delivering this petition to some government building on Dominion Day, July 1st.
So the sooner you can get your signature on that, because we're only two weeks away from our national holiday, the better.
And also, folks, if you can, I see it's approaching 15,000 signatures.
Let's get it over 20,000, folks.
And if you can, if you can kick in a buck or three to cover the expense of that truck, it's around in the neighborhood of $1,500 to get four hours of that truck.
And I think it's money well spent, Tamara.
I'm sure as soon as they saw the truck, they locked down the constituency office like it was a bunker.
And no doubt they were humiliated because we were driving it right through his Eglinton Lawrence constituency, telling everybody who had the misfortune of voting for this man, this is what the public safety minister is saying.
And this is very important.
This isn't just some Joe Blow politician.
This is the public safety minister lying about this.
The question arises, Tamara: if he's lying about this, what else is he also lying about on the public safety file?
Yeah, I mean, how can the cabinet place any sort of faith or confidence in this person who made such a flubbering error?
Like that is, this is a massive error.
And I cannot comprehend how Marco will get away with something like this.
I really hope that this is a successful campaign.
I hope that the pressure continues and that this person is held to account for his blatant disinformation.
This is blatant miss and disinformation that was not factually relevant, factually correct, rather, I should say.
And someone needs to start holding their feet to the fire on these things that are happening in our parliament, in the house.
And question period, I mean, I'm so tired of seeing question period just be these circle answers that never actually answer anything.
It's so frustrating.
There's just a bunch of children.
And I mean, it's mind-blowing that they're supposed to be running our country and representing us.
It's so frustrating, you know, Tamara.
It's like they're asked the question: what kind of car do you drive?
And the answer is, my curtains are green.
You know, it is just.
Well, it has an engine.
And let me be very clear that I do have some headlights as well.
And maybe I plug it in sometimes too, so I can be really virtuous about what kind of vehicle I drive.
And I don't listen to the CBC.
So, like, that's literally how our finance minister, Christia Freeland, was responding to scrutiny over her justification for seizing the bank accounts.
And of course, in doing so, she had to, they had to invoke the Emergencies Act.
She literally just skirts everything.
And it's a simple yes or no.
It reminds me entirely of trying to parent my children.
I'm like, is it yes or is it no?
We don't need all of the fluff here around the topic.
Is it a yes or a no?
So I don't know if we'll get the answers that we need, but I hope the accountability is seen through if someone needs to take the accountability for this.
Totally agree.
And Tamara, for what it's worth, you are a fantastic mother.
Your children are always so well behaved, at least when I see them.
So good on you.
Yeah, well, behind those doors.
But I will give Amenocino one shout out on the positive side.
Unlike sneaky Patrick Brown, at least he doesn't call the police on us when we pepper him with impolite questions.
He's not that far gone.
And as I mentioned, Tamara, Dominion Day, July 1st, is coming up.
And we'll be delivering the petition in Ottawa.
And I speak of our national holiday because, you know, there is a real flag flap going on regarding the Canadian flag these days in certain quarters.
There was a, you know, super producer Olivia and I went up to Newmarket on Saturday to cover the plight of Donna Svetkos.
She is an employee at the Kawartha Dairy Shop in Newmarket.
Kawartha Dairy, fantastic.
I mean, if you want good ice cream, fantastic milkshakes, that's where you got to go.
But the executives are really a bunch of banana splits when it comes to flags because what the story was, folks, is that Donna on her personal vehicle was displaying We the Fringe flags and Canadian flags.
And shall we pick up the audio from here, Olivia?
And that might tell the story because we have an update from our report.
I think the person had nothing better to do with their time.
It was a gloomy, rainy day.
The flags were down.
Like I said, that veto, my vehicle has been parked over there at my place of employment, which does not have anything to do with me and my personal stuff.
Somebody just couldn't read.
It almost comes down to that.
We have somebody in our community that hates our country, couldn't take two seconds to even walk over and lift it up.
I would not be disgraced if anybody touched my flag to look at it.
The store received one complaint, singular, one complaint that this was offside and she was ordered to remove the We the Fringe flags.
This is my own opinion.
This has nothing to do with Kawartha Dairy.
The product is great.
It is Canadian run.
My views do not reflect anything to do with the company.
That one customer clearly should have done their homework and they have ruined many people's lives by one comment that blasted up.
The store was being called and harassed on a daily basis and still is.
And there are a lot of freedom fighters out there.
There are so many people that love our country that have been calling in support as well.
She was ordered to remove even the Canadian flags.
I feel that this has been an unjust and discrimination to our Canadian flag.
It's been a rough few days, all because somebody wanted to post Shape News.
If you're showing pride in...
Flags and Frustration00:07:05
So, that's the story.
And imagine the perversity here, Tamara.
You cannot fly a Canadian flag on your personal vehicle in Canada.
But if you want to fly the pride flag, the Black Lives Matter flag, the flag of Ukraine, that's okay.
In any event, an update on a couple of days ago, the executives reached out to Donna and, oh my goodness, it's the Christmas miracle in June.
They've reversed their policy on the Canadian flag ban.
That can go back on her vehicle.
But the We the Fringe flag ban, that remains firmly in effect.
Why is that?
The answer?
Because somebody might think, because of the color and the font style, that We the Fringe reads F Trudeau.
Really?
Well, what I would say to anyone that makes that error, Tamara, is go see an optometrist or a psychiatrist or maybe both.
Because right now we are at a stage, folks, where corporations are bending the knee to imaginary complaints.
There's no there there.
And, you know, Tamara, I just can't believe it.
First of all, even if it did say F Trudeau, there's no rule against profanity.
Otherwise, half the rap songs are removed from airplay overnight.
But it never was an F Trudeau flag.
It's We the Fringe.
Those are words taken.
The fringe word is taken from Justin Trudeau in late January describing the truckers and their supporters.
This was the beginning of the demonization and the vilification of these patriots.
What do you make of this?
And what do you make of the fact that this company was acting on one complaint, you know, some hysterical customer that was complaining about something that wasn't there?
Yep.
Well, and when did it become the company's, a corporation's business, what an individual does on or with their personal property?
I mean, this isn't the property of Kwartha Dairy or Justin Trudeau.
This is someone's individual owned vehicle.
And so what gives them the right to have say over how they dress it or what kind of paraphernalia they have on their own vehicle?
It's just absolute madness.
And in addition to what you would recommend, an optometrist, I would say go to Kumon, get some tutoring, learn how to read and see what you're up against.
And also, when did we start discriminating against minority groups?
If this is a fringe minority, I thought that we embraced everybody's differences and uniqueness and tolerance and inclusivity.
If this is a fringe minority, truly, then when did we stop embracing them if we're going to fly, like you said, flag, pride flags, Ukrainian flags, LGBTQ.
The really funny thing I find too is when the pride folk are flying Ukraine flags, but they don't recognize same-sex marriages.
And it's like, do people even know what you're supporting anymore?
Is it literally just whatever the current thing is?
I'm going to get my flag and I'm going to fly it.
And there's just no forethought there.
And it's really sad to see that a company has been the knee to these hysterical people for pretty much nothing.
I mean, I could understand if there's some profanity and you're getting enmeshed in with that as an employer, then maybe you want to have a dialogue, a discussion about it.
But that's not the case here at all.
It literally said fringe minority.
So it sounds like somebody needs, yeah, to get their glasses checked or go get some tutoring on how to read and write.
And, you know, the other thing too, Tamara, so we got the reason for the banning the We the Fringe flag.
Somebody might confuse it as F Trudeau.
But Donna asked the vice president, Dana Somerville, what was the reason in the first place for banning the Canadian flags?
And the reason was what Dana said, allegedly.
And by the way, I've reached out to them on several occasions.
They're all in the fetal position, not taking calls.
The executive team at Quartha Dairy.
Of course.
What cowards.
I mean, guys, you run a great ice cream shop, but in terms of communications, wow, if you ran your ice cream shop the way you communicate, you would have been bankrupt years ago.
What Dana said is that, well, you see, Donna, the Canadian flag in the last couple of years has been tainted.
Tainted.
Tamara, I would say the precise opposite.
Since the Freedom Convoy, you see the Canadian flag the world over, from the United States to India to Australia being waved at those freedom protests, at those trucker convoys.
It is a symbol of freedom and standing up against tyranny.
That is a taint, according to this person.
And you know, it gets worse, Tamara, because there's a school in the Durham region called Sunderland School, and you folks might have heard of this story.
The local Lions Club went to the school and said, you know what?
For Dominion Day, we're going to give all the grade one students a Canadian flag to take home, right?
So the Uber woke principal, who again is somebody else curled up in the fetal position, reached out to her, couldn't get any response.
She sent a memo out, Tamara, and it was regarding a permission slip.
Do you allow your student not to go on a field trip, not to attend a school dance, but to accept a Canadian flag?
And parents were baffled.
Most people were absolutely outraged.
I reached out to the principal, won't take my call, but I reached out to the Durham School Board and the communications person said, This is the reason why a permission slip is required for Canadian parents to allow their Canadian children to receive a Canadian flag.
Two reasons.
One is environmental friendliness, because you see, Tamara, maybe they already have a flag and there's no reason to duplicate that, or maybe they might not use the flag on Dominion Day, so it's just going to be tossed in the bin, I suppose.
So it's the environment because somewhere Greta Tunberg weeps.
And the second thing is for some Indigenous families, and they're just guessing here because I don't even know if there are any Indigenous children in that grade one class.
The Canadian flag means something different.
I guess if you read between the lines, you know, to be shunned, not to be flown with pride.
Footage Not Seen Elsewhere00:02:26
Can you imagine?
Are we living in a bad dream right now, Tamara?
I am shocked that people even discuss these things.
I mean, really, is that what you're is this?
Is that what board meetings are being held to discuss now?
That is just absurd to me.
But while we're on the topic of the Canadian flag, I want to throw quickly to the documentary that we are screening currently about what happened over at the Coutes blockade in Alberta.
So we know that the main convoy happened in Ottawa, but then there was another convoy, a blockade that happened at the Coutts border.
And so we had extensive coverage and some reporters and videographers embedded within the blockade.
So we have footage that you will not see anywhere else.
And it's been compiled now all into a documentary by our very own Kian Simone.
So there's a screening tonight and that one sold out.
It's at Buffet Royale in Sherwood Park, Alberta from 7 to 10 p.m.
But then there's also another one happening tomorrow night, June 17th in Edmonton at Church in the Vine from 7 to 10 p.m.
That's Mountain Standard Mountain Time.
So tickets there will be $13.75.
So very minuscule amount there.
I think typical of what you would get at the movie theater these days.
And then on Tuesday, June 21st, there will be an Ontario screening.
Finally, we've waited so long.
So that's this coming Tuesday from 9 to 12 p.m.
It's happening at the Carloo.
That's at four, it's on Young Street anyway, in Toronto.
And tickets there will be just shy of $12.
So we hope to see people out there.
If you're unable to make any of those screening times or locations, then we also offer the documentary to Rebel Plus subscribers.
You can chip in with a donation there, become a subscriber and view that documentary.
You don't want to miss it.
There's exclusive footage, like I said, that you won't find anywhere else.
So we want to throw to that.
And we're always looking also for other places, hosts to do some of these screenings too.
So if anyone has any leads, then please reach out to us.
We also have some more chats here.
I just want to get to because I see we're running a little bit low on time.
Oh, and Tamara, if I can just interject here.
Independent MPs Debate00:10:58
Yeah.
What's worth the price of admission?
And my goodness, this documentary, it is wonderful.
But the Carlo is such a gorgeous facility.
I believe I'm going by memory.
It was built in the 1920s with all the glitz and glamour of the Roaring 20s.
Then in later decades, it was shuttered, forgotten.
And then in the 90s, a group came in and restored it to its former glory.
It is an absolutely magnificent facility.
That's worth the price of admission right there.
And then you're going to get to see this fabulous documentary.
So go ahead, Tamara.
And of course, potentially meet some of your fellow rebels.
So you don't want to miss out on the in-person screening.
It's always nice to meet and mingle with like-minded people.
So that's an added bonus of coming to check it out in person.
So AMT 60 gives $1.
Thank you.
JT would love Patrick to be leader of the CPC since their brackets, non-ethics are the same.
And Patrick would probably join the NDP party in holding up the liberals.
Pierre, Roman, and Leslie are the best candidates.
I'm not so sure about Pierre, to be honest.
I'm having some doubts.
I'm not a conservative member, so I will not be voting in their leadership as a leadership contender.
But I do have reservations there about Polyev.
I don't like that he won't take media questions.
He skips it on the scrums.
And as we've seen more recently, he has decided to opt out of the debates altogether.
The press gallery was trying to host one.
And where was the other one, David, in Alberta?
Who was hosting that one that they just had to announce?
Oh, the Western Standard, I think it was.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes, the Western Standard because of lack of candidates committing to coming to the debate.
So that really is suspicious to me.
And you know what, Tamara?
I couldn't agree more.
I will say I like Pierre Polyev.
I like what he's saying when he gives speeches.
He's saying all the right things, and that's clear by the thunderous standing ovations he's getting.
But I don't understand, especially when he goes on an interview with Jordan Peterson and he goes to bat for the independent media and then he shuns the independent media.
So that makes me question when he keeps saying, you know, the one thing that always gets the biggest standing O, which is he will defund the CBC.
Will he really pull the trigger on that?
Will he really take out this great white whale that most people would like to see him do?
Or would it be meet the new boss, same as the old boss?
I hope I'm wrong, but I would like to know why he says to certain people, yeah, the independent media is great, but not great enough, I guess, for me to be interviewed by them.
That disturbs me.
I wish this wasn't the case.
And it really pains me to tell you the truth, Tamara.
You know, there's still a long way to go before the next election.
Hopefully, oh my God, I hope it's before 2025.
I just can't believe that's when this alliance with Jugmead and Justin is to run until.
And maybe Pierre Polyev will have a change of heart, but he's not even the leader yet, and he's shunning certain media.
It's very bothersome indeed.
Well, and I mean, I'm just going to go back to actions speak louder than words.
So he can talk this talk, but is he going to walk the walk?
And so it puts some serious doubt in my mind that he will have the follow through that we so desperately need to see with our politicians.
We elect them on a platform.
And then as soon as they're elected in office, you see that just being completely disregarded.
So that isn't fair.
And I think that there's something there that needs to be changed.
Frasier McBurney again gives $5.
Thanks to the hard work of the rebel team.
Do you have any news on the excavator that the RCMP damaged?
Oh, damaged.
Let's not beat around the bush here.
Vandalized.
I mean, damage suggests maybe an RCMP cruiser was accidentally backed into it.
They vandalized and probably did six figures worth of vandalism.
That's a great question.
And I will put it forward to our Alberta team to look into that.
I had shamefully forgotten about that.
Thank you so much for the reminder.
Gwendolyn Young gives $5.
I'm so excited for dinner and a Coots Trucker documentary tonight.
Yes.
I wish I was out West tonight.
It sounds like it's going to be a great time.
Georgie Georgie gives $1.
I'm not defending Mendocino, but why are people only focused on him?
We should be focused on getting Trudeau out or else Mendocino will be no different than JWR, Bill Morneau, and others.
Well, no, I think there's a big difference.
I think with Jodi Wilson-Rayboat, she stepped away on a justified ethical stance, you know, in terms of pressure from Justin Trudeau.
So comparing Mendocino to JWR, no, that's truly apples and oranges.
Yeah, Trudeau is the chief executive liar of the Liberal Party.
I will grant you that.
But remember, these lies are coming directly from the lips of Mendocino, and he's not backing down.
He's not correcting the record.
He is the public safety minister.
That's important.
He has to step down.
We can go after the other cats in the caucus in the weeks and months ahead.
But for now, he has to answer for his incessant lying.
Well, and he's the advisor on public safety to Trudeau.
So if you don't take out those people below Trudeau who are also lying, he's the one that's advising Trudeau on the response.
And I'm by no means a Trudeau fan or supporter, but in this case, I think that it is fair that he is the person held accountable.
And we'll see more scrutiny in the question period as this continues on Trudeau and other people like Christia Freeland as well.
In addition to, I don't think there's just one sole person responsible here.
January 777, $2.
Thank you.
It does not matter who is the CPC leader.
They are all part of the same political tug of war, red, blue, blue, red, blue, red, blue, et cetera.
The whole swamp needs to be drained and start anew.
I mean, I don't know things and man things in that swamp.
I don't completely disagree, but I don't know if right now is the time to have such a radical reorientation of our entire political system.
I think there are so many things just teetering on the edge of being complete disasters that you would need to be in a much stronger, strengthened place as a country to even start to do something like that.
But that's just my opinion.
And maybe I'm too comfortable in where I am, which actually is becoming increasingly uncomfortable as we see things like inflation, cost of living, gas prices, taxes, everything is on the up.
And it's becoming increasingly harder to maintain any sort of way of life here in Canada.
The noble Canadian gives $5.
Hi, David.
Hi, Tamara.
Could you explain how crossing the floor works in parliament?
Do you think that MPs or MPPs would become so frustrated in their own party to do so with everything that's, I assume that that's going on?
Well, they're bound by a constitution, right?
Yeah, that's a hang-up.
But you know what?
I am a fan of our parliamentary democracy system, Tamara.
But what I am not a fan about is this idea of crossing the floor, going from the liberals to the conservatives or vice versa.
We last saw it with my former MPP, which MP rather, Leona Alislav, when she moved from the Liberals to the Conservatives, I think in 2018.
My position is this.
If you have a disagreement with the government or with the party that you're sitting with, that voted in on, then you step down and you sit as an independent MP until the election is called.
Then you run under the new colors.
I think that's more than fair because at the end of the day, I'm sorry, if you were voted in as a liberal or if you were voted in as a conservative, the people voted in you under those colors, those banners.
You know, when Leona Alislav was elected as a liberal, the people of Aurora Oak Ridge's Richmond Hill voted her in because she was running as a liberal.
Now, the thing is, and this is what made her crossing the floor so disingenuous, Tamara, is that she did internal polling showing that that riding, which is a swing riding, was going to swing back to the conservatives in 2019.
And she was right.
It did.
But, you know, it's funny, the best laid plans of Mice and Men, eh?
In 2021, guess what?
It swung back to the liberals.
So now Leona Alislav lost her seat.
But I say this in a very non-political stance, Tamara, that regardless of who you ran and got voted in on, that's how you remain or sit as an independent until the next election.
I hate this idea of a liberal presto becoming a conservative overnight and vice versa.
It's just not right.
Yeah, I agree with your commentary on that one.
Paul Otto Newman gives $1.
If they don't like the Maple Leaf, we can always go back to the traditional red ensign.
Correct me if my pronunciation is off on that word.
The red ensign.
That's correct.
And you know why?
If the maple leaf is really going out of fashion and is a symbol of freedom, which according to the left is the new F word, or is the symbol of white supremacy and all the other nonsense, geez, what are the Toronto Maple Leafs going to do, Tamara?
I sense a big rebranding exercise in order.
Maybe instead of the leaf, they'll just put the tree on their sweaters, right?
Yeah, maybe that will finally be their saving grace.
They can win a Stanley Cup.
Red Ensign Rebranding00:03:37
Yeah.
So are the Toronto Maple Leafs the new Washington Redskins, folks?
That's what I'm asking for.
If the Maple Leaf is so insidious in certain circles, unbelievable.
I can't believe we're having this conversation.
That's what I mean.
I can't believe this is being discussed at all.
It's just madness.
C1MCF FAR, F-A-R-2, gives $5.
Thank you.
He's scared of being caught for maybe being controlled by the powers that be behind our political parties in parliament.
I think you're referring to Justin Trudeau there or Mendocino.
Yeah, who's the he we're talking about here?
Maybe Mendocino, then, because we were talking about him a little bit.
But yeah, all of them are just trying to cover their trail, right?
Cover their bases for lying.
Tamara, can we use the pronoun he with certainty?
We really don't know what that identifies with.
It identifies.
I can't even say the same.
We have one last super chat so far.
If you have a few more minutes, anyone who would like to get in their last say, then please do so now.
But it's from our very own Andrew says he gives us a whopping $1.
Tamara, how do you deal with David controlled opposition Menzies?
Oh, I'm not even, that's a loaded question right there to end our live stream.
How do we end on that?
Well, I got to say, for the first time in weeks, Andrew Says has written something that genuinely made me laugh.
Usually I get my chuckles with Andrew Says when I listen to his side gig as the announcer on Yacht Rock Radio.
That's Channel 311 for all you serious XM subscribers.
That's the conspiracy theory du jour at Rebel News.
That is high energy Andrew Says Chapados narrating Yacht Rock Radio.
And I guess we'll never know for sure.
But anyways, thank you, Andrew, for that buck, you cheapskate.
You just have to laugh, Andrew, because otherwise you will cry.
Okay.
Well, I see we're five minutes past the hour.
So, wow, time really flew.
Thank you so much, Tamara, for filling in for Sheila.
She will be the guest host on the Ezra Event show because the big boss man, I don't know where he when he gets to sleep.
He's got so many things to do.
And so that's why Sheila is filling in today and why I filled in.
Yesterday, I want to thank our trained broadcast professionals behind the tinted glass there.
That would be Olivia and Danny and Efren.
And I want to thank all you, especially those who gave a monetized chat.
It's how we keep the lights on here.
In the meantime, tomorrow there'll be two other rebels.
I think it might indeed be the aforementioned Andrew Chapados with Lewis Brackpool over in the UK.
Sheila and I will be back here on Tuesday of next week.
And in the meantime, folks, stay sane.
Mr. Speaker, what we see right now is the Conservative Party desperately trying to distract Canadians from the fact that they stood with these illegal blockaders.
They encouraged them.
They continue to make apologies for these people, having shut down communities, hurt our economy, cost people jobs at the same time as police were trying to do their jobs.
They asked for more tools.
We granted them more tools with the Emergencies Act, and we were able to get things back to normal in this country.
People are free to protest legally, but not illegally.
