David Mendes and Drea Humphrey critique CBC’s push for censorship via Bill C-11, calling it a "Trudeau State Broadcaster" effort after Ezra Levant’s Rebel News suppression by the CRTC in 2015. They highlight Portland’s attack on Billboard Chris by "mentally ill transgender people," linking it to puberty blockers and the UK’s Travestock Clinic lawsuit, while condemning Toronto Police’s leaked transgender training modules as "special rights." The episode also covers Durham District School Board’s May 15 vote silencing dissent over explicit school materials, Fox News’ CRTC-driven ban, and China-linked donations to the Trudeau Foundation. Ultimately, they argue Canada’s media and political landscape is weaponizing censorship against free speech and parental rights. [Automatically generated summary]
You have tuned into the daily roundup on this, a Thursday, May 4th, 2023.
I'm David Mendes and my co-host, well, let me tell you a little bit about my co-host.
Do you know, folks, that today is May the 4th be with you?
And she is so excited about that.
She has set her phasers on fun.
Oh, yeah, nerds, I know phasers is a Star Trek term, not a Star Wars term, but just roll with it.
She is the she-devil with the Spatula.
She's the Khaleesi of BC.
She is Drea Humphrey.
How you doing there, Drea?
And what are you, a Star Trek or a Star Wars fan?
Or neither?
I am neither.
I do remember like family members watching it and me like just playing with Barbies hidden in the corner.
But my brothers are big Star Wars fans, so I've seen all of the Star Wars stuff.
I just had a feeling.
I harken back to high school.
None of the cool girls were into science fiction for some reason.
And you're proving that hypothesis.
But we have a certain head honcho in Ottawa who seems to be really into Star Wars.
We'll get to that in a second.
But what are the ground rules, such as they are, Drea, in terms of what we're ostensibly trying to do here today?
Well, welcome everybody to the daily roundup live where we go over the latest current events in this crazy world and we take you with us.
It's pretty interactive because you guys have the opportunity of joining in and you can do so on Rumble or Odyssey.
If you go there, there are live chat options where you can comment in, give your advice or comments about what we're discussing in the latest news.
And if you donate $5 more, we try to read those and that also helps support our journalism here.
And we're also letting people know about locals.com.
We're getting smarter.
You know, we know Bill C11's passed and we know it's the censorship goal.
So we are uniting our people together in a community that stands for free speech.
If you go to locals.com, we usually have a link in the description box below and you can join our community.
And again, if you want to be a supporter there, not only will you get our free content that's up there, but you will also get our exclusive content, which includes things like documentaries, includes, you know, footage that hasn't been seen before, and the lovely Ezra Levant show.
So great place to be if you're tired of all the censorship.
That's locals.com.
Fantastic.
And we'll have also an announcement of some great new Mother's Day merchandise coming up.
By the way, I must say, Drea, you look resplendent in that beautiful Patriot t-shirt.
Am I allowed to say that, Mr. Producer?
I'm not going to get in trouble with HR again, eh?
Okay.
No, just checking.
So as teased, well, well, well, our part-time drama teacher slash full-time prime minister, that would be Blackface himself.
He evidently had a very important message for Canadians.
Yeah, why is my spidey senses already tingling?
Roll it.
Oh, there's no audio.
Okay.
It's just him.
Boy, this is really bad TV, isn't it?
So this is Justin Trudeau's big reveal in terms of a very important message for Canadians.
It is may the 4th be with you.
Wow.
That was way lamer than my intro for you, Drea Humphrey, I got to say.
But you know what?
It springs to mind since we're on the Star Wars file.
Maybe someone can send in a super chat about this.
What Star Wars or even Star Trek character comes to mind when you think of Blackface?
For me, it's Darth Vader in Star Wars and the way he's putting our Constitution into the paper shredder and turning Canada into a police state.
Darth Vader would very much like Canada in 2023.
As for Star Trek, he's lame.
Let's call him a tribble, okay?
What say you, my friend?
Well, I've noticed since he started his own YouTube channel, he's been doing more of these sort of like social media stuff where he's starting to, I guess, I don't know, maybe it's a little bit of campaigning to be more likable since he's the most hated politician I've seen in present times recently.
So I think that this is part of that strategy.
It's like, how can I be fun and hip?
And I know I'll write this little note and things like that.
But people have not forgotten his leadership over the years and where Canada is going with a little note like that.
You know, you might be right, Drea.
I think if I did some research into Star Wars demographics, it probably skews younger.
And this is Trudeau saying, I'm going to get down with the kids.
I'm going to show them how hip I am by knowing that this is a very special day for Star Wars fans.
Then again, there is a baby boomer audience for Star Wars too.
I think the first film came out in 1977, if I recall.
But, you know, here's where I'm coming from, Drea.
Think of all the things that are concerning Canadians right now.
Interest rates, inflation, Chinese interference in our elections, Chinese police stations, the Trudeau Foundation, the We Charity, all the scandals that Blackface is responsible for.
And he bills this as a very important message.
It's not important.
It's not even trivial.
It's useless.
Why doesn't he come forward and address the issues that are really affecting Canadians and address those issues that are indeed affecting the very integrity of our democracy, Drea Humphrey?
Well, I think I'm okay with, you know, a politician poking fun on certain days and things like that.
I think the real issue here is that nobody's buying anything that's coming out of this man.
So when you see him write this joke, it's just like, it feels like it's just not genuine and there's just another angle to it.
That's how I perceive it.
And that's my issue with it rather than, you know, making a Star Trek joke in general.
I think politicians can have a sense of humor, but I think he at heart is an actor.
Oh, and he's in his role of a lifetime.
And let's not hope there's an epilogue.
I mean, there's all kinds of chatter that whenever that next election is, Drea, many liberals are saying, we can't win with this guy.
There's too much baggage.
Even for Trudeau, Mark Carney's name has been bandied about.
At least he'd be the adult in the room, I think.
But if you had to bet, Drea, whenever that election is called, it could even be this year.
I doubt it will be, but I'm pretty sure it will be next year as opposed to 2025.
Do you think this party is going to the polls with Blackface as the leader again?
Well, I thought that they kind of had to.
Am I wrong about that?
Maybe I just don't know the answer to that, but I think it would be wise for somebody else to run.
I don't know.
He just seems like he's campaigning already to me.
Are you not getting that vibe already?
So maybe that's who he's campaigning.
Maybe he's campaigning into his own caucus to be like, look, I'm liked.
People love me.
I'm on YouTube now.
Keep me as a leader.
And maybe that's what I'm noticing.
So it would be wise of them not to have him run.
But it wouldn't surprise me if he is.
But you know what, Drea, when it comes to Blackface, we are dealing with an enormous ego.
And I'm sure he's going to be gently persuaded.
Look, you know what?
In your 10 years, you've left a legacy.
God knows what that legacy is.
I mean, every time I ask a Justin Trudeau supporter at election time the question, and this is a guaranteed question for dead air, Drea, it's this.
What is Justin Trudeau's greatest achievement?
And aside from legalizing pot.
Yeah.
And great debt.
That's it.
And division.
Yeah.
But maybe they can pretend he's actually left some kind of legacy behind.
And also, I understand for the backbenchers in the Liberal Party, they come back to their writings and they're just getting heckled by their own constituents, even people that voted for them, saying, look, all this Chinese interference, especially Drea, we're getting bombarded with questions.
What did you know?
When did you know it?
I mean, it's a lot of pressure on us.
It's a lot of stress.
So maybe there will be regime change at the head in the months to come, and maybe it would be changed for the better.
Or maybe it'll be, as the WHO one said, meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Oh my gosh.
Maybe if there isn't leadership change, maybe people will cross the floor.
Maybe they'll say, you know what, that's the last straw.
Wouldn't that be nice?
That would be nice, as long as it's not over to the NDP.
Yeah, like my MP, Leona Alislev, in the writing where I live in Richmond Hill, although she crossed the floor for the wrong reasons, Drea, that writing is typically a swing riding.
And she guessed correctly that in 2019, it was going to swing conservative.
And so she crossed the floor the year before and got elected.
See, what comes around goes around.
In 2021, guess what?
Leona outsmarted herself and swung back to liberal.
So I'm just wondering if she is going to be the candidate of record because this makes me queasy as someone who admires Pierre Polyev, who would love to see the conservatives win the next election.
When you have a closet liberal switching colors only for getting elected herself, has nothing to do with the policies.
Leona's Political Flip00:15:01
That's the wrong kind of candidate, I think.
And by the way, she's never given me the time of day for an interview.
So she's on Team Censorious Thug that way.
But why don't we go from Blackface's scribblings on a piece of paper to Billboard Chris?
Here's an individual I greatly admire, puts himself quite literally at risk.
As you know, Drea, he's had his arm broken.
I think that happened in Montreal.
He had some look-like mentally ill transgender people attack him in your neck of the woods.
And, well, here we have a debate, if you can call it that.
It's Billboard Chris with a guy at Portland State University.
Oh my goodness.
Can you imagine how woke that campus is?
Portland, Washington.
Are you kidding?
Let's see what happened.
He's a fucking idiot.
You.
Nobody's impressed.
You guys fucking suck so bad.
You are the dumbest motherfucker I've ever seen in my life.
Should we be a bad conversation with a university captain?
My man.
See, you should talk to this guy.
You should have a conversation with the media.
No, you should shut the fuck down and get it.
You should move to a cave and die.
Because you're an idiot.
This is a place of learning and you're a stupid motherfucker.
You should listen here and not talk.
What's stupid about my position?
Everything.
You're an ignorant, hateful little shit.
I don't want this so insane.
Tell me one thing that's not.
I'll tell you the 10,000 things.
You saw it cost you?
Yeah, that's true right there.
I don't think yes.
But about the position, that's your position.
My position is I give a shit about everything.
The level of debate in the hallowed halls of academia these days, Drea Humphrey.
I mean, once again, someone that can't not resort to the F-bomb and worse in terms of making his argument, I'm not sure what the argument was.
I think at one point he wished Billboard Chris was dead.
Gee, that's nice.
Go to a cave and die.
Yeah, go to a cave and die.
Their mind is so sick.
Like, how do you even come up with this stuff so fast?
But why are these people completely incapable of debating the issue at hand, Drea?
Because the issue at hand is child mutilation.
Yes.
I mean, what are you going to say in defense of that?
That's why you have to get so mad and angry and swear and deflect and say all these things.
They are standing up for child mutilation for children to opt into, you know, life-altering medication that could make them pharmaceutical patients for life, that can lessen their bone density, that can make them sterile.
And this is a decision the child is supposed to make from themselves 10 years before, or sometimes 13 years before, their frontal cortex is developed, meaning their brain is not developed for reasoning and decision making.
So what logic can you say in defense to that?
And special thanks to Savannah Hernandez, by the way, who filmed that footage, got real close and put that up on social media so for we can see.
But billboard Chris, if anybody actually does talk with him, he knows the facts, he knows the stats, he knows um, you know that in the Uk they've kind of done these transitions sort of at a higher volume than us years earlier, and now there are so many young adults who are saying, what the heck?
Why did the adults in my life allow this to happen?
Around a thousand families are taking their now shut down most popular gender clinic to court, the Travestock Clinic in the Uk.
Yeah um, so it's.
When you talk about who's educated on the matter, they think okay, i'm at the university, i'm educated, this is just all hate.
The truth is they don't know the facts, they are uneducated on the matter and they themselves are the ones spewing out hate instead of knowledge.
And so I do like that billboard Chris goes out there peacefully.
That's what I really like about billboard Chris, he has the most peaceful stance and it becomes very clear who is hateful, who is venomous.
And I know some of you are probably wondering, well, what happened With that officer?
if we have a little bit of B-roll in case you missed it, but completely internationally viral footage that was captured by a Vancouver-based journalist, Dan Dix, when he was getting mobbed in Vancouver by violent trans activist go figure, and Officer Frederick Buckman was just smiling at the incident.
I mean, they're dehumanizing people who, parents, people who are standing up for this important controversial issue.
And some of you are probably like, what's going on?
So I have a video coming up today.
Close to 20,000 of you signed a petition about that officer's conduct, wanting her fired, disciplined.
So I have an update coming up.
I believe it's coming out pretty soon.
So make sure to check fireofficerbuckman.com for that petition update.
But yeah, there's that incident there.
Andrea, I kind of understood where Officer Buckman was coming from a few weeks ago.
We obtained material from the Toronto Police Service.
I did a monologue on it when I was filling in for Ezra.
And it was eye-opening.
And I imagine if it's in the Toronto service, it's probably in other police services across Canada.
Basically, it was the transgender training modules.
It is absolutely astonishing to watch.
And in fairness to the Toronto Police, this is not an organic initiative by them.
They've been ordered to do this by the Ontario Human Rights Commission based on one complaint they received of somebody who was misgendered or the wrong pronouns were used or what have you.
And essentially, the crux of the matter, Drea, is that trans people do not have equal rights.
They have special rights.
And we saw that on display with Billboard Chris in Your Neck of the Woods.
And I urge our viewers, if you haven't seen that, we put it up in free content section.
Please go check it out because police officers are being lectured to by apparently trans homeless people by the looks of things, Drea.
It is so surreal.
And so at the end of the day, Officer Buckman in her defense, she's just following orders.
You know, she's been instructed, I presume, to look the other way.
And that's why when Billboard Chris gets assaulted right in front of her face, she dared not wade into that because maybe it's going to be a reprimand down the road for her.
But you know, the other thing I want to address is the whole LGBT community going up against demonstrators who are concerned about age appropriateness and forming a counter-demonstration,
basically implying that children should have no rights when it comes to whether it's puberty blockers that they take or being subjected to pornographic novels in elementary schools.
Andrea, here's what I don't get.
Last week, Ace Cameraman Lincoln Jay and I, we went out to Whitby, we covered a protest, mostly by mothers and grandmothers, very nice civil people, and they were on point.
They had a list of books in the Durham district, including the school they were at, Colonel Farewell.
And it was downright pornographic.
I'm not even going to read the passages, but it involves sex, oral sex, masturbation, you name it.
Here's the thing, there was a counter-demonstration denouncing these people as haters, bigots, transphobes, homophobes.
Point is, the demonstrators against the porn in the elementary schools, they were on point.
This is inappropriate material for elementary age children.
They never talked about sexual orientation.
They never talked about gender identification.
So for this community, you know, the so-called love Trumps hate LGBTQ mafia.
You are on the wrong side of decency and dare I say it history.
If you're making a stance that children should be subjected to pornography, you are on the wrong side ethically, morally, and perhaps even legally because this group wants to challenge the legality of this material getting into our schools, Drea.
Well, I know here the anti-hate network has put out just a little blurb and accused people of being anti-LGBTQ or hateful when they are protesting the same thing out here in BC.
So I think part of the problem is people just trust organizations like that.
They just think, okay, well, they must have done their research and they're not seeing the images in the books themselves.
And then when you confront them, which I have done sometimes, they quickly, they don't have the fight in them anymore, usually.
Even if they still act like they're on the other side, you can see they go home and they're probably like, I'm not coming back to one of those things.
So that's the real thing.
So the troubling thing are the school trustees, are the teachers, are the ones who actually know, who have seen this footage and still say, no, this is okay.
And not only this is okay, they still think you are spreading hate by not wanting this in there.
That's the craziest part to me.
It's unbelievable.
And the most concerning.
Andrea, a heads up to our audience that might be in the greater Toronto area on May the 15th, that's May 15th at the Durham District School Board.
They are going to vote on a motion which is going to make it, well, I can't say illegal, but questions will not be entertained.
No ifs, ands, or buts regarding anything to do with sexuality in the school, whether it's 100%, whether it's shared bathrooms or pornography for elementary school students.
I have been told this is going to be one hell of a cage match.
There is going to be more than a thousand concerned parents trying to pack into this school board meeting.
And hopefully some trustees will get a whiff of what's in the air and say, no, this material is not age appropriate.
We're going to pull it.
And B, no, we're a public funded school board.
We're not supposed to be censorious thugs.
We're not supposed to.
We're political.
Exactly.
So May 15th at the Durham District School Board, that is going to be extra special.
One more video we should get to before an ad break.
I'm just going to interrupt with two chats that we have because they're to what we spoke at at the very beginning.
And so for those of you just tuning in, you can live chat with us to be a part of the show on Rumbler Odyssey.
And in the beginning, we were talking about Trudeau's May the 4th be with you.
And David had asked people who they think JT, Justin Trudeau's character, would be.
So N. Mark donates $5.
Thank you very much and says JT is the Borg Queen.
Oh, good one.
And you know what?
Perfect, perfect character for Trudeau.
He calls himself a feminist.
The Borg queen, of course, rules over the Borg.
One of the creepiest characters to ever come out of the Star Trek universe.
And you know what?
I got to tell you, Drea, the tagline for the Borg, self-determination is irrelevant.
Resistance is futile.
That's how Justin Trudeau runs his government.
With the gun grab, with Bill C-11, and everything else, it's all about dictatorial control.
So what a fantastic comparison.
And also, that would make him transgender, too, right?
Being the best person.
I was going to say it hits the diversity mark real good, too.
Oh, there's so it looks like.
Oh, here we go.
There's that.
There's the boy.
Yikes.
And so it looks like Enmark did a pretty good job hitting the nail on the head, but there's some competition because Cool Beans89 donates $5.
Thank you very much.
And says, David, Star Trek character that best suits blackface are the Borg resistance is futile.
Drea, not to be a sexist, but you are a very beautiful woman.
Oh, thank you.
How dare you assume my gender, Cool Beans?
I agree.
What can I say?
I'm a heterosexual male.
Resistance is futile.
All right.
Those were good chats, and I agree with both of them.
Fantastic.
And yes, let's get before our ad break, which is coming up at the half hour mark, Drea.
Oh, goodness.
We have a brawless student who is screaming and singing in front of Billboard, Chris.
Why do I get the idea that this might be somebody I don't want to see without a bra?
saying and of course it's the violin disgusting wap cardi b song that's being sent Like, is this the best we have of university now?
What is happening when this is the minds that are coming out to a simple debate, if you want to call it?
You took the words out of my mouth, Drea.
You know, back in the day when there was a mental health facility on Queen Street, let's call what it is an asylum, 999 Queen Street West.
I think they changed the address to 1001 because some of the inmates looked at 999 upside down and thought they were in hell.
But I digress.
What I'm getting to, Drea, is that person acting that way as an adult, as opposed to a three-year-old toddler having a freak out in the toy section of Walmart, would have been brought into a rubber room for her protection and ours.
Crtc And Canadian Fox00:14:57
I guess what I'm saying is, let's make insane asylums great again, shall we?
Let's get those things open.
Oh, I know, I know.
Something.
Oh, my goodness.
And why don't we take a quick break right now, as we must, and we'll get back on the other side with, oh, my goodness, this has to be a misprint.
CBC was involved with some kind of blackmail?
My goodness.
From their sugar daddy black face to carrying out blackmail.
That's a lot of darkness for our public broadcaster, but let's check out this ad first.
The media said that Canadian truckers were Russian agents controlled by Vladimir Putin.
Justin Trudeau called them extremists.
The small fringe minority.
We are here out of love for our families, our communities.
And the government put the country under martial law to stop them.
But what's the real story?
If you can't see the future in clear outline right now, you're not paying attention.
But the truckers in Canada can.
And I want you to know that I'm not afraid.
For the first time, the woman at the heart of the trucker convoy speaks out.

Well, Drea, as we teased before the break, a bit of a scoop for Rebel News.
I'm referring to Ezra Levant's monologue on his show yesterday regarding the CBC and Twitter.
And I believe our colleague Sheila Gunread has just posted a written piece.
And here's the Cole's notes.
Exclusive access to information documents obtained by Rebel News show Catherine Tate, CEO of Trudeau State Broadcaster, told the social media giant, that would be Twitter, the company must censor tweets or Trudeau would bring in laws to force them to do so.
Are you disturbed by this entitlement as I am, Drea?
So disturbed.
And you have the CEO over in New York working with Trudeau.
It says in the article Sheila put out today, I guess, Tate also hinted that CBC was working with Trudeau government to remove the flow of hate.
Of course, it always has to be labeled something like that.
This should concern all Canadians.
And I guess, you know, other countries too, because if it can happen to Canada, it can happen to anybody.
But this is the sign of a dictatorship.
What is that?
You better fall in line or else we're coming for you with laws that will hurt your business.
Because let's face it, if a government says we're going to put laws that force you to do business the way we like it, that hurts that company's pocket or money too, right?
So, wow.
It is a wow moment.
And you know, it's confirming Drear's suspicions in regard to the fix being in with the CBC that they're beholden to Sugar Daddy Blackface.
And imagine the chutzpah, the sheer unmitigated gall of forcibly taking more than $1.2 billion of our tax money.
We have no say in that.
And then going to the prime minister and saying, oh, you know what?
There's some people out there with political wrong thought and we want them punished.
And we want the social media platform that is the conveyance of this wrong thought punished as well.
This is banana republic stuff, Dre.
I know we don't grow bananas in Canada.
Let's call it a maple syrup republic, but this is dictatorship 101.
It is.
And Elon Musk did respond to one of Ezra Levant's tweets about it.
He said the CBC said they were working with Trudeau to pressure Twitter to censor users.
What's the possibility of a Twitter files document release in Canada to clear the air?
Wouldn't that be great to see?
Oh, yeah.
Elon Musk responded with interesting.
I know.
Like a bond villain, eh?
Right.
And who's been complaining about Elon Musk's Twitter saying, you know, government-funded media?
The CBC.
This is exactly who they are.
And it's all coming out.
And, you know, I hope more Canadians find out about this because anybody who wants just the simple news, the truth, needs to know.
You know, it's amazing too to see how the left has turned on Elon Musk.
He was one of their heroes just a scant 18 months ago.
Oh, he's making electric vehicles.
He's going to save the planet.
No carbon footprint here.
And then, oh, he's what?
He's a proponent of free speech.
Oh, what a horrible person.
Ooh, boo, boo, Elon Musk.
It is unbelievable.
The left is, you know, and again, Dre, we've talked about this so many times.
Classical liberals used to be all about freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly.
And now they're really Marxists, the liberals.
They're all about censorship.
Even in the United States, where they have the First Amendment, something I wish we had here.
It's just, and when we get documents like this, like I said, we really see their agenda, don't we?
And it's not pretty.
Yeah, classic liberals are being called far right now.
So I've met many of them.
They're like, what?
If you're a classical liberal, you're a conservative now.
Exactly.
And this is why, you know, back to the CBC thing, this is why fighting C-11 is so important.
Right now we're showing documents about that as well.
And I think we have a campaign.
You can go to this article with Sheila, but I think we also have like a direct URL about C-11, stop C-11 as well.
But this is the fight of our lives in Canada.
I truly believe that.
Because my question is, you know, once they, the whole pretending this is about supporting Canadian musicians is over and they get to the actual purpose of it.
What is in plan?
Why did this need to happen?
What is coming next that they don't want rebel news talking about to the people?
That is of great concern.
Yeah.
And the big boss man, he adroitly laid out the strategy.
It's a four-pronged strategy.
Some of those elements include signing our petition when this Bill C-11 hearings, when they do the whole town hall tour, pack the joint and voice your concerns, even though they might not listen to you, but at least, you know, don't bend the knee.
And thirdly, donate for the legal challenge because all the other stuff is just words.
But this is where we hope to shine.
Get a very good lawyer and argue the merits.
And all we can ask is a fair-minded judge because I think the case is happened before.
It's happened before in our cases.
So we'll just pray again.
100%.
But Drea, as Ezra's mentioned, we're looking at $500,000 to get this ball rolling.
And it's going to take years because that's just the way the legal process works.
But we can't bend the knee.
This is too important.
You're right.
This is the fight of our lives.
Not just our lives, anyone at home that is enjoying what's left of the freedoms in Canada.
This is a major fly swatter to that, and it's got to be disarmed.
And case in point, CRTC considering banning Fox News from cable packages.
Oh, why would?
Oh, I see.
Well, it's an LGBT rights group.
Oh, of course.
Aren't they happy?
Tucker's gone.
What do they want?
Oh, I guess that would be like shark smelling blood in the water.
We got rid of the head hon show.
Now let's get rid of the rest.
We already can't get Fox News Nation in Canada for some bizarre reason.
And now they want to get rid of this.
So what is it?
Why are the LGBTQ unicorns trying to shut down Fox News?
What's their problem?
And really, if there was a problem with Fox News, Drea, the answer is not shutting down an entire network.
It would be if you had a case and they don't have any case, bring a matter of defamation before the courts or slander or libel.
But they don't have that.
So they just go to Blackface's media watchdog, the CRTC, and say, oh, off with their heads, please.
No, we are not going to acquiesce to a percentage of the population that is what, Drea?
0.00001%.
Again, let's make insane asylums great again.
And I'll tell you another thing.
You can understand now, Drea, why there are new organizations forming, such as Gays Against Groomers and LGB Without the T, because they're waking up in that community and going, These trans people, they don't speak for us.
This is lunacy.
And I feel sorry for the trans people that also want to be out of the trans because there's them as well.
They're like, no, don't separate me with this crazy trans agenda because I'm not having that.
You know, but there's just so much to unpack there.
They say that if you're confused on who's lying, it's usually the person trying to silence the other person.
And there's a reason because of that.
If someone is lying and you want to prove that they're lying, you want them to keep talking.
You want them to slip up.
You want them to be heard so you can say, look, this is what they're doing.
And like you said, take it to court or even discuss it and say, look at what this is happening.
But they don't want that.
They don't want people hearing from Fox because they don't want them hearing the other side of the story and then knowing the truth.
That's all this is.
And Drea, let me tell you something.
Don't put it past the CRTC to act on this.
I speak from personal experience.
As you know, many of us at Fox, Rebel News, such as our founder, CEO, and president, Ezra Levant, we were made refugees from the Sun News network back in 2015.
If the Sun News network was still in existence, there would be no Rebel News.
We'd all still presumably be employed there.
But the CRTC, Drea, denied us the license we needed to stay alive.
It was a license given out to so many other specialty broadcasters whose content was basically recycled sitcoms from the 1980s.
And the very reason for the CRTC is Canadian content.
Okay, well, Sun News was owned by Quebec Or.
We were based in Toronto.
We had bureaus all across the country.
It was staffed by over 200 people telling Canadian stories to Canadian viewers.
You couldn't get more Canadian if I were to slap a tattoo of Canada Packers on my butt.
And believe me, nobody wants to see that.
But the point is, after a brilliant presentation, the CRTC said, nope, decision denied.
And you know what the reason was, Drea?
There was no reason because they don't have to give a reason.
The unspoken reason is to have one right-of-center news channel in the Canadian landscape.
That was a bridge too far for the CRTC.
So let's see if they indeed double down, especially now that they're empowered further by Bill C-11.
Absolutely despicable.
Well, last word goes to you.
I agree.
And I'm going to move on to a super chat where somebody is giving us constructive criticism, which we welcome.
We don't want you silenced, okay?
And so they donated $5 to do it to help us continue on.
This is Kenzie 67.
And Kenzie says, I'm disappointed with your all cap locks, I might add.
I am disappointed.
I think, but I'm not sure.
I'm disappointed with your limited coverage of the National Citizens Inquiry.
Please cover and share as they are being suppressed, even on Twitter.
Stop with the trans and cover inquiry, please.
Well, my response to that is: I don't believe we do have limited coverage of the NCI.
Please Cover NCI Reports00:05:04
I just spent yesterday, I think 11 hours there working after overcoming a stomach flu.
And I know our very own Tamara Ugolini actually testified at the NCI and also has done reports.
We have multiple reports on it.
Perhaps if you go onto DuckDuckGo and type in National Citizens Inquiry Rebel News, you might be able to find some of our coverage because just like they're suppressed, so are we.
So it's not just going to, you know, pop out at you all the time.
And if you haven't done so already, you could also go to rebelnews.com and sometimes there's a pop-up that shows up or there's probably another way to do it.
I'm sorry if I don't know how to say it, but if you have never given us your, you know, your email or your postal code or something like that, we don't always know where you are to send you emails as well, especially when they're in your area.
So the NCI just came here May 2nd to the lower mainland, which is where I'm based.
So I've been covering it.
Like I said, I was sick with the flu.
I couldn't make it May 2nd.
I was just getting over that.
Don't tell Dr. Bonnie Henry.
And this is one of my tweets.
In fact, our editors are working on getting one of my reports on it out right now as we speak behind the scenes.
But this was a very horrible story.
Not a dry eye in the house.
And that is Mr. James Jones from Victoria testifying to how his wife Sandra killed himself, killed herself, sorry, just days after being fired from being a BC transit worker.
So she left a big note, and basically that mandate was a driving force in her ending her life.
And this was just shortly.
Yeah, it's horrible.
So again, we have that report coming for you.
We're working as hard as we can to cover it and every other story that's being suppressed by the state-backed media like the CBC.
But hopefully that answers to the viewer's point.
I would make the argument, thanks to your work and Tamara and Sheila, I think of all the media organizations in Canada, we've given the most coverage.
I think so.
I'm pretty sure.
You know, unless you want to just have Rebel News run a live stream 24-7 about it, but they're doing.
The NCI is doing that themselves.
And not only are we doing reports, we're retweeting their stuff on Twitter.
So we're doing our part.
Indeed.
Drea, we should take another ad break and then we've got 15 minutes left.
We have to have a hard end at 2 o'clock.
I'm on a special assignment.
I know that sounds James Bonnie.
Me too.
And it might involve Antifa, so pray for me.
I hope not.
So why don't we take this ad break?
And we'll get back to, well, welcome to Vancouver, the only city in North America currently serving cocaine, crack, heroin, and crystal meth in broad daylight.
Lovely.
What could possibly go wrong?
I am doing something today that I have never tried before.
Listen up, I'm looking for collaborators in a new and exciting initiative.
As you most likely know, YouTube a long time ago demonetized Rebel News, and we are 100% viewer funded.
Now, while our supporters are fantastic at helping us cover legal campaigns and special reporting missions, unfortunately, the reality is our day-to-day operational expenses often exceed our income stream, which is crazy if you think about it because my videos across all platforms attract hundreds of thousands of views and sometimes even millions.
So I want to share that reach with the right partners.
If you have a product or business and want to enter a win-win relationship with me, please go to rebelnews.com forward slash ads and fill in the form to let me know.
I won't be accepting anyone.
I need to believe in your business or product so I can sell it proudly for you.
And for successful applicants, I will guarantee a minimum view count.
Meaning, even if your ad is published on the less popular reports, we'll keep promoting your business or product until it gets the agreed minimum eyeball.
So again, if you have a cool company or product that either wants to take advantage of my reach or want to support my work through advertising in a way that you can write it off as a tax deduction or both, head over to rebelnews.com forward slash ads and hopefully we can join forces soon.
Wow, in addition to being a great journalist, Avi Amini is a great salesman too, isn't he?
I mean, if I had the money, I'd be throwing it on his table right now.
He's such a star.
Oh, my goodness.
Yeah, it's just like, I need to start a business just to work now with the ads because of that ad.
Why Drugs and Masks?00:11:06
Unbelievable.
Well, let me, you take this, Drea.
This is indeed in your backyard, Vancouver, a beautiful city, much like San Francisco, perhaps one of the most beautiful and unique cities in the United States.
The hills, the bay, the cable cars, but now a city fraught with pearl.
And again, on the west coast in Canada, your city, Vancouver, it's the drug version of Lola Palooza.
What in blue hell is going on, Drea?
Well, this, we're sharing a tweet from Aaron Gunn, who's a democratarian at some point.
I can't speak today.
Oh, documentarian.
Thank you very much.
Journalist who doesn't know her words.
Documentarian.
He's also a political commentator.
And he's well known for pointing, shedding light on this issue with what's happening in Vancouver.
He did a documentary called Vancouver's Dying.
And this is him, I guess, standing in Vancouver saying, Welcome to Vancouver, the only city in North America currently serving cocaine, crack, heroin, crystal meth in broad daylight with no consequences from the city or police.
And that is that is true.
I mean, this is the hub of where you can see stuff like this.
So he's got a sign here where it's all for sale there.
Look at that.
Crack cocaine, $20, 1.5 points.
I mean, you can have kids walking right by there who have never even heard, you know, what's a point.
And now they're going to be Googling it and stuff like that.
You've got MDMA down at the bottom.
And what is that?
There's a lot of people who think everything that's happening with the legalization of drugs here is just the greatest thing.
But how does that help people in addiction?
I've worked for years with people in addiction.
That's not going to help them at all.
The reasons why they're addicted are not because they could not access drugs.
Yes, some of the drugs that they're accessing are unclean, but just because they're going to get clean drugs over here isn't going to stop them from getting unclean drugs over there.
So it's very frustrating, and I'm glad he's shedding light on it.
100%, Drea.
It is really throwing gasoline on a fire.
If you think you're helping addicts by accommodating them, by enabling them, no, you're not.
You're sending them down a horrible spiral, perhaps even to their death.
You know, Drea, in March, Alberta Premier Daniel Smith was in Toronto to receive an award.
I went to that dinner, and it was amazing.
She talked about how Alberta is doing the polar opposite approach of British Columbia.
That they've surprised, surprise.
Oh, yes.
Isn't it something?
But the program is basically police officers going to drug addicts on the street and saying, listen, you've got two options.
We can arrest you and put you behind bars for what you're doing, or we can put you into a program.
And it was an amazing program.
Premier Smith talked about it.
It's like a dormitory where these people get clean, where they're taught the basics of how to shop.
They are responsible for the cleanliness of the dormitories.
And a community is established where these people, addicts, to hardcore drugs, actually get off the habit, get clean, sober up, and become members of society again, not dependent on that.
That's what it's about.
Yeah.
So I ask you, which system, folks, would you rather have?
We enable the drug addicts to have no future, or we help clean them up so that they do have a future.
And I mean, you know, it's really odd, isn't it, Adrea?
Why doesn't this program extend to alcoholics?
I mean, what if you lost your driver's license because you had a DWI conviction?
Why don't we, oh, I don't know, find out who these people are and bring them bottles of scotch and bourbon to their house so they don't have to drive, so we don't put the public at risk, because obviously they can't get by the day without having a couple of hits.
This is what I don't understand: why the very worst addictive substances are being accommodated by the state.
And so this one is, so BC is, I guess, decriminalizing and allowing the sale of some drugs.
But this one in particular is a little bit unique, what we're seeing this sign here.
So, it's a Vancouver man who has opened the only known brick and mortar store in Canada.
And the, sorry, I'm going close, and the U.S. that sells these things, these drugs.
And so, he has opened this drugstore on Wednesday in Vancouver's downtown Eastside, which, if you're unfamiliar with that area, is not a pretty sight.
A neighborhood that's long been considered ground zero for Canada's overdose epidemic.
Very true.
And so, I want to scroll down probably.
So, he, here we go.
So, he opened the store because he wants to give people drugs that have been tested and are free from the bad stuff in them, including fentanyl.
Although, fentanyl, which is driving record overdoses in Canada and the U.S., is the primary street.
So, he, if I recall with this person, he's sort of doing this on his own, going a little bit over and above.
And so, it will be interesting to see how this is handled by the government.
Because I also wonder about money, right?
Who's benefiting from being able to sell these drugs, right?
If you follow the money, yes.
So, yeah, it's despicable.
And, you know, on the flip side, Drea, let's end on a happier note.
The Democracy Fund legal victory.
TDF Wayers secured withdrawal of criminal charges against, was it someone going to do a holdup of a drug?
No, it was a maskless shopper.
It was a hell of an ordeal.
It was a disabled shopper, if you can imagine, criminally charged with obstruction after shopping maskless.
Finally, it's come to an end or it came to an end in a provincial courtroom in Tuesday when all charges were dismissed.
Drea, your thoughts.
Well, this is great.
This is a perfect thing to end on.
It's great news.
And, you know, we've seen it before with other successful cases that we've helped.
I should say the people have helped through their great donations to the Democracy Fund and fight the fines.
It was all in the headlines.
Oh, this person was arrested and this person was charged and this one and this one.
And then years later, because that's how it works out, you know, charges are often dropped showing that, you know, it was just a bunch of nonsense.
But I'm happy to see that this was fought and then that this person was supported by the people through the great Democracy Fund charity.
So that's awesome.
Doing great work.
And I believe that was at a pharmacy, wasn't it, Drea?
And the irony is so perverse here.
Usually you go to a pharmacy to get medicine to get better.
You don't expect to be gang tackled by cops.
But apparently, not having your mask on properly, that's the prime directive for police services, at least back then it was.
And as we stated earlier, if you're a trans person having a meltdown, oh, yeah, feel free to physically assault someone for hurting your feelings.
It's no harm, no foul.
What kind of world are we in?
But this is indeed a legal victory.
And you know, I wonder if down the road, Drea, if we are requested to quarantine again, if there's some new variant, if the monkeypox comes back, remember that for 10 years.
I think Bill Gates is, I saw he's suggesting there is something coming.
Oh, of course.
You know, he's been predicting this and wanting it for decades, it would seem.
But, Drea, would the majority of Canadians bend the knee?
Would we be such sheep again?
Because I know from people who followed the rules, who wore masks, said never again, no chance.
I am not.
And also a lot of people, by the way, Drea, that had their shots, had their boosters, that are really suffering from buyers' remorse right now, given what's coming out in terms of evidence.
So I am hopeful that we won't have another repeat of the last three years.
What do you think?
Well, we will certainly have way more saying no from the start.
I'm confident of that.
But there's still people walking around or driving in their car with masks on.
Is that amazing?
And a lot of people wear masks.
I've heard this over and over.
They're wearing masks because they think it's what other people want them to do.
And it's like everybody's walking around wearing it just because nobody even wants to wear it.
So you'll have those people too that just think like they don't want to upset anybody.
And so they're smothering themselves for no reason.
I'll go further on your point, Drea.
I think wearing the mask right now in 2023, that's a political statement.
That is a visual sign to everyone out there.
I like big government.
I like big lockdowns.
I like being told what to do, whether it's getting vaccinated or wearing a mask or having my store shut down.
Well, those with lobbyists like Walmart, they can remain open.
That's what the mask is right now.
Or I like my face better, which there's actual evidence to support that less attractive people are wearing that.
I read it.
Really?
Like, maybe they think they look good.
I remember in the mask, I'd go up to people and I'd be like, oh, I know you.
And I'd start talking.
And then they'd pull down the mask and I'm like, oh, it's not the super chat.
So maybe they're like, this is the best I've looked in my entire life.
I get more attention with my eyes.
You never know.
Unbelievable.
Do we have any more super chats, Drea?
I don't.
I think we're going to go.
I think we are.
We're just two minutes at the top of the hour.
Wow, early.
Yeah, absolutely.
For a change.
I think I should do a special shout out to Lady Menzoid.
She had a milestone birthday today.
She is 30.
Happy birthday.
You've got to put a little multiple there and you'll get the actual age.
Anyway.
So happy birthday, Lady Menzoid.
Happy Birthday Lady Menzoid00:03:09
We all love you here.
Well, I certainly do too.
And many of you.
Thanks for keeping putting up a data.
It's kind of, there's a bit of irony here, Drea.
It is May the 4th, be with you.
And Lady Menzoid hates Star Wars with a passion.
I was born on April 20th.
That's 420 day.
I hate marijuana.
It's the smell.
I'm so sorry.
I can't get past the skunk, flatulent smell of marijuana.
What are the odds we'd be both born on a gimmicky day like that?
Yeah.
And we hate the day.
Well, I don't know if she likes weed, but there you go.
All right.
Well, thank you so much, Drea.
It's always a joy doing the show.
And thank you to super producers Efren and Olivia behind the boards.
And thank you to all our viewers, especially those who chipped in to help us pay our bills.
Greatly appreciated.
I'll be back here tomorrow with another Rebel News personality.
In the meantime, as always, stay safe and stay sane.
Bye, everyone.
The desire for them to run an influence operation was evidenced in that reporting in the Globe and Mail.
And within five months of this donation being signed, both the gentlemen were given direct access to the Prime Minister.
That's quite a deal for $140,000, I'd say, that they were both able to access the Prime Minister.
and the situation around it, where we have consular officials from the People's Republic of China directing how the donation is to flow.
We have the involvement for the first and only time in 18 years on the foundation of the Prime Minister's brother.
We have the Prime Minister's brother, you sir, signing that donation agreement, and it culminating with those those cash for access events with Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister.
That raises incredibly concerning questions for Canadians.
You said you had to sign at the start of my questions.
You said that you had to sign.
Why did you have to sign?
Because it was a three-way agreement between the foundation, four in many ways, the foundation, myself representing the Trudeau family, l'Université de Montréal, and the donors.
So I guess I could have...
The main reason I signed is because Morris asked me to.
I also had signing authority at the time, so I was regularly signing checks at the foundation.
But I imagine I could have given a procuration to Morris to sign for the family, but it was his suggestion that for the views of the ceremony and honoring these men who I, by the way, still have no reason to believe their motives were not honorable.
