DAILY Roundup dives into Pierre Poilievre’s defiant "butt out" remark at Moncton over New Brunswick’s 713 policy, framing it as a victory against federal LGBTQ+ interference. Toronto’s Pride nudity—cited as illegal under Criminal Code 174.1—sparked debate, with Menzies dismissing police inaction despite claims of "million" attendees. Meanwhile, BC’s NDP wins (Ravi Parmer at 53%, Joan Phillips at 67%) highlight shifting political dynamics, while the Conservative Party’s 20% gain in Lankford suggests rebranding success. The episode ties these controversies to broader cultural clashes, like Bud Light’s boycott and CBC’s convoluted acronyms, questioning whether ideological battles are overshadowing common sense—or eroding it entirely. [Automatically generated summary]
You have tuned into the daily roundup on this, a Wednesday, June 28th, 2023.
I'm David Menzies and my co-host, well, let me tell you about my co-host.
You know what, folks?
Today is Elon Musk's birthday.
And in honor of our favorite online freedom fighter, my co-host, Drea Humphrey, is right now going to sing happy birthday.
Take it.
Yeah.
But happy birthday, Elon Musk.
He deserves it, especially for what he's been up to the last year.
I can sing the odd share song during karaoke, but other than that, that's about it.
Drea, I refuse to believe you.
I think you have one of the most lovely voices I have ever heard in my life.
I've always said you've got a great side gig awaiting you if you decide to record those audio books.
You know, I just think it's so lovely.
So I was expecting you to hammer out a Whitney Houston style version of happy birthday to Elon.
But, well, we'll try it again next year at this time.
Born on this day in 1971.
Dre, I got to tell you, I don't know what it's like in BC, but Toronto, evidently, it is the sixth worst city in the world.
So we're talking about a whole bunch of Chinese megacities in terms of air quality.
I walked the dog before I came in here.
I came back, even though I had showered, smelling like a smoke sausage.
One of the nicknames of Toronto is the big smoke.
And my God, is it ever living up to that nickname?
So I had to shower again and slap on some extra English leather cologne.
Do you remember the tagline for English leather?
The TV ad?
No?
Oh, Drea.
It's one of the best ad jingles of all time.
It was always this very sexy woman saying, my men wear English leather or they wear nothing at all.
I don't even, I've never heard of that.
I've never even heard of, you know, like, English leather being up.
It's a catchy tagline.
Speaking of wearing nothing at all, that's a great segue to one of our items about all the public nudity breaking out in public streets in Toronto during the Pride Parade and the cops doing nothing, of course.
But before we get into that, I think you as the Khaleesi BC, you're going to lay down the ground rules of what we're trying to do here.
Yeah.
Well, welcome everybody to the daily roundup where we go through the current events and we've got a really good show for you guys tonight or today.
Oh my gosh, can you tell I'm half asleep?
Speaking of air quality, my allergies are really bugging me.
So my head feels like it's like three times as big.
So excuse me if I snort a bit.
But yeah, a way you can be part of the show is if you go to Rumble or Odyssey, there is this live chat option where you can comment.
So anything that we say that you have something to say, or maybe you think we need to mention something else to the public, you can donate $5 or more.
The donation goes to cover the many costs to bring you the other side of the story.
And then we do our best to read those as well.
Polyev's Grade Demand00:15:42
So what are we starting off with today, David?
I see that, and since you're in British Columbia, by the way, how much longer do we get to call British Columbia British Columbia?
I mean, and they're in a real pickle.
They can't drop the British word because there's already a Columbia as a country.
But, you know, I'm pretty sure, well, maybe not in my lifetime.
I'm running out of gas, but maybe in your lifetime, there'll be some rebranding of your province.
But I digress.
But this is interesting because I think it, I don't know what to make of it.
But BC is pursuing a plan to end letter grades despite opposition from parents, teachers, and students.
Does that mean they're moving from letter grades to percentile grades, Drea?
Or is it anything goes?
No judgment whatsoever.
What's going on there?
Well, if you look at the screen there, there's an example that's from MLA John Rusted, leader of the Conservative Party of BC, showing it there.
So it's that meeting, not meeting expectation, you know, don't want to trigger the children and let them know that they need work in certain areas.
Actually, much of this has already been started to be implemented in different places, different schools in BC, but it's going to be across the board pretty quick here.
It's just so, I am so against this.
I have two kids.
It says here in the article that we can put on the screen that more than half of the teachers reported low satisfaction when surveyed, specifically about the so-called new sort of proficiency scale that would replace the letter grades, while 60% of parents or caregivers and 83% of students didn't like the change.
So you have the educators, the parents, and the students saying, we don't want this to happen.
Yet the Ministry of Education is saying, well, too bad.
We're doing it anyways.
So in other words, Drea, this is a woke solution for a problem that does not exist.
Yeah.
What's going on here?
The Education Minister Rachina Singh said last week that about half of all public school districts, like I said, have already tested and adopted the new reporting style.
And that the curriculum that started, so that's been since 2016.
I've noticed that as a parent in certain classes, or I noticed it more in middle school, to be honest with my child, that there wasn't, there were no grades for a little bit there.
But yeah, it's going to be implemented in September.
So British Columbia kids will barely be able to know.
And I think one of the things they want to do is make kids self-assess themselves, which I'm not totally against as long as they're being properly assessed by an educator.
But Drea, from a tangible perspective, from a logistical viewpoint, how do you know whether your kid is a genius or a flunky if you don't have some sort of benchmark, be it a letter grade, be a percentile, whatever, if it's just, oh, you know, the kid's doing all right.
Well, no, that's not good enough.
How do I know whether or not to reward them for getting straight A pluses or to look at getting tutors to help them keep up with the rest of the class?
This is madness.
It is madness.
And maybe that's why some of the kids are saying no, because, you know, I usually offer a few bucks.
You get an A, you get this, right?
Like, no, this is like getting rid of the toothbrush or something like that.
But, you know, kids need to be able to strive for something.
And also, if you know kids that are in sports, you see the same thing happening, at least out here in BC, too, where they're trying to say, hey, don't let the kids know who won the game.
Don't keep score.
You know, my brother's a soccer coach and for the younger grades, he just tells the kids who won the game.
Like, how are kids going to be able to function in the real world if they don't understand that there is success and failure and different measures of that in between and how to overcome these issues?
You know what, Drea, you're so right.
And here's what these idiot educats don't understand.
There is no shame in honest failure.
If you try hard, and you gave the analogy of a soccer game and you lose, well, it's not that we all don't keep score and don't keep standings and everybody gets a participation trophy at the end of the season.
No, that's wrong.
Basically, what failure should do is make the individual reinvent themselves to succeed, to excel, as opposed to being mully-coddled.
Well, there was no score, there was no standings, everyone got a trophy.
And you know what?
Your friend, the referee, telling the kids what the score is, he doesn't have to do that, Drea.
Soccer to it, shame across Canada, does not keep score.
It infuriated me when my kids were in soccer when they were very young.
But guess what, Drea?
The kids on the field, they're all keeping score.
They are all, you know, they are all mentally.
So the idea that there's no scoreboard with numbers on it means nothing.
But this is part of an ongoing problem.
You know, 10 years ago, forgive me, I can't remember his name, but I remember the school district.
It was Edmonton.
It was a teacher who gave a zero to a student who did not hand in an assignment and did not show up for an exam.
And that's a zero.
Nothing to grade.
That's a zero.
Guess what?
To make a long story short, Drea, that teacher was fired.
No.
Yes, he went to court in a lawsuit.
I believe he was successful.
Didn't get his job back, but he got a monetary award.
But the Edmonton School Board said, nope, it doesn't matter if they don't show up for an exam.
It doesn't matter if the student didn't hand in an essay.
You've hurt his self-esteem by giving him a zero.
And he said, no, I'm sorry.
And this is my kind of teacher.
If there's nothing to grade, if there's nothing to read, how can I give any number on that?
And they were demanding you give him at least 51% of passing grade.
And he said, no, got fired, got some money in the years that followed litigation.
But this is really a race to the bottom.
Do you know what?
For some reason, Drea, I don't think the kids in China are being treated this way.
You know, I mean, I think the Mandarins in Beijing are probably saying, we're going to win this war without even firing a single bullet.
I mean, this is unbelievable.
I know.
No, definitely.
Completely different there in so many ways, including what our kids are watching on social media.
So again, I think we're just being reminded over and over and over that parents have to be involved in their child's education.
And if that might even be asking to see your child's projects and homework and giving them a grade yourself on what you think at this point, if this is the case, right?
And I want to make one last point, Drea.
I filled in for Ezra Levant for a show a few weeks ago.
And what caught my eye was a stat.
And it was something like, I'm going by memory, 40% of youth aged 18 to 24 in the workplace are suffering from mental breakdowns.
And what jumped out at me, first of all, come on, you're 18, 19, 20.
Chances are you don't have a mortgage.
You probably don't even have car payments.
You're pretty carefree at that age.
And I'm thinking, is there something more to this?
Is this real mental illness?
And by the way, if it is mental illness, these people shouldn't be mocked.
They should be helped.
Or is it once they've, you know, come out of that bizarre biosphere of education and go into the real world?
And a boss is demanding, you know, attendance in the office, the boss is demanding performance.
Do these little violets just crush under that kind of mandate?
I think there's a lot to it.
That is.
And ultimately, here's the question: Drea: Do we blame the kids or do we blame the generations of Educrats that came before them and said, We're not going to judge you, we're not going to mark you, we're not going to fail you, even if little Johnny or Jamie can't spell cat if you spotted them the C and the T. Is that who's to blame?
I think that is who is to blame for creating a generation or two of people that can't even cope in reality, i.e., the workplace.
Oh, totally agree.
And I mean, the kids agree apparently.
I think I just said 80 or something percent are like, no, but it's the next generation that hasn't had any grades, but that won't know the difference.
So, yes.
And we should go on because we advertised it in the email that went out.
Polyev telling Blackface to butt out when it comes to New Brunswick's policy on LG LGBTQ.
You know what?
Can we, there's a gay broadcaster in Toronto, and he mentioned with all these acronyms, can we, you know, and it keeps changing.
And sometimes there's 2S and sometimes there's 3Ps and an IA.
Can we just call it the queer community?
I know queer once upon a time was a slur, but it seems to be something that's embraced.
But that gets rid of that never-ending string of letters.
Anyways, Drea, I think this is a huge win for Polyev and a big loss for Blackface.
New Brunswick is taking a righteous stance on this transanity madness in their province.
Trudeau's condemning them.
Polyev is saying, mind your own business.
And I'll tell you why I'm glad Blackface is putting his nose into provincial business.
The more he does this, the more he basically pisses off a typical liberal voting bloc.
And I'm talking about those in the Muslim community that are not down with the whole spirit unicorn transgenderism that's going on.
I think this potentially will cost Blackface at the ballot box in the next year and a half, whenever the election is.
What do you say, my friend?
Well, I think once again, the liberals are underestimating the small fringe minority.
It's not a small fringe minority of parents, adults, concerned citizens who do not want to see pride agendas pushed on children by state institutions.
It's just common sense.
People don't even want to see religion pushed on kids in state institutions.
Why would it be any difference with a sexual activist agenda?
So I do think it's about time we see Mr. Polyev speak out about this issue.
I think what he said is perfect.
If you look at this article here, I think we're looking at it.
So this is about the 713 policy, which New Brunswick is in the process of reviewing.
One of the first products that came out of those review is that teachers will no longer be compelled to use preferred genders from children without parental consent.
They have to get parental consent until the child is 16.
So they're getting all this backlash from activists and they're saying, oh, this controversial change.
It's like, no, it's controversial to give kids a whole completely different identity and don't tell their parents.
That's the controversy.
This is going back to normalcy.
And Pierre Polyev's response to that, he says, I know that Justin Trudeau has butted into that.
So he was, sorry, let me backtrack a bit.
He was asked at an event in Moncton.
He was asked about this change that New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs has done on the policy.
And so Pierre said it's a provincial policy.
I know that Justin Trudeau has butted into that.
The prime minister has no business in decisions that should rest with the provinces and parents.
So my message to Justin Trudeau is butt out.
So he was very firm on that.
Yeah, very, very firm on that.
And so, of course, I think I have what Trudeau said here too.
Trudeau had said about it.
Right now, he said, trans kids in New Brunswick are being told they don't have the right to be their true selves, that they need to ask permission.
Trans kids need to feel safe, not targeted by politicians.
We need to stand against this.
So, and sorry, Dre, missed that.
Who said that?
Was that Trudeau or Seamus O'Reagan?
Oh, did I get it wrong?
No, I it was true.
Yeah, that's Trudeau.
Because I saw a screen capture of Seamus O'Reagan, aka the most stupid MP in the history of Canada.
It's an absolute wonder that guy gets elected to even be dog catcher.
But you know, Drea, this is a win for Pierre Polyev.
In fact, if I was in the Polyev war room, I would tell them to double down.
I would tell them simply to make this an off-repeated promise, even though it's a provincial jurisdiction.
But as prime minister, I will reach out to the education ministers across our dominion and try to convince them to get pornography out of elementary and secondary school libraries.
And you know what, Drea?
You don't even have to get into gender identification and sexual orientation.
So this is not an anti-LGBT thing.
In fact, members of that community, I think of gays against groomers, I think of LGB without the T.
These are the people that would be on side, members of that very community, just by you taking a stance against child pornography.
I can't even believe, you know, I'm hearing what I'm saying, and I can't believe what I'm saying that there's child pornography in our schools, which should be safe havens from that kind of smut for our kids.
So you, this is a winner.
This is a winner across the board, regardless of your politics.
The only people that seem to be pushing this, Drea, are these Marxist educats who have a hidden agenda in terms of, well, you know, my off-repeated phrase is it's all about tearing down society as a Marxist is wanting to do to rebuild it as that Marxist utopia, which never ends up happening, of course.
So what is there to lose with Polyev picking up this particular plank?
No, he's representing the parents and saying, you know, let the provinces and the parents deal with it.
Hate for Trump, Love for Trump00:05:14
And that's exactly the way it should be, parents first.
But speaking about reaching out to education ministers, it reminds me of a very important campaign we have going right now called hireleback.com.
If you're watching this, you can open up another screen or grab another device and go to hireleback.com.
Some of you probably have heard the story about the Saskatchewan education assistant named Leah Meyer, who shared without commenting an article. from LifeSight News that was simply about a nonprofit saying, hey, if you're distressed about pride being pushed in schools, why not keep your children home on June 1st as a form of protest?
So she shared that, by the way, in a private group.
She didn't share it where her students are looking or anything like that.
And someone snitched on her in the group.
And days later, she was terminated.
And so I asked for you to go to, I have an interview coming up.
She does want her job back in case you're wondering.
So she does want her job back.
But this is so important because David, let me know if you've had this, but I've certainly had teachers reach out to me in private, off record.
They're feeling muzzled.
They're so distressed with being in this system where they can't speak.
You hear that they're being compelled to call kids different identities, hide that from their parents.
There's a million reasons they're upset.
So they're watching this situation and going, my goodness, I can't even share an article now.
Oh, no.
If I share a news article, I can lose my job.
So go to hirebacklea.com.
We've got an email pre-written for you.
You're welcome to tweak it.
Just be respectful.
And that email goes off to the education minister, Dustin Duncan, I believe his name.
It goes to the superintendent and it goes to, why is it evading me who the third person is?
But basically the powers that be that can get her job back.
And then also there's a petition, which we will deliver.
So if you could please do those two things.
I think that this is a very important fight because imagine, imagine whatever job you have, you get canceled for sharing an article.
Maybe it's about Blood Light and what's happened there.
You share that, you're done.
Oh, I think you're talking about Anthony Bass, the ex-Toronto Blue Jay, who had to go through numerous meaculpas, sit down with a member of Pride Toronto and get lectured and then got fired nevertheless.
No, this is part for the course, Drea.
I'm enraged, but I'm not surprised.
And I can tell you, last week when I was in Windsor, I got to sit down with a Windsor-Essex school board trustee.
She's a lioness, in my opinion, Linda Kin.
And that interview will be going up in the next day or so.
But for taking a stance for the parents, for speaking out against radical trans agenda, speaking out against in Asian appropriate material in the Greater Essex School Board libraries, she has been shunned and condemned by the other people on her board.
She's being totally ostracized.
She is being called a white supremac.
I should point out she's Asian.
And also she showed me some of the response she got from, you know, the love Trump's hate trans community.
Dre, I can't say the words on our live stream, but think of the most insulting C word for a woman of Asian descent.
Think of the most insulting C word for a woman, period.
This is what she was being called, along with, I hope you die painfully of breast cancer.
Okay.
This is the community that they are bending over backwards not to offend or trigger.
And far from love Trump's hate, these people are the biggest haters on the planet and they work as a mob.
Anyways, I was so happy that she took a stance because there are other trustees like Linda that have also been ostracized by their boards, such as in Waterloo, such as in Durham District, but they're not quite ready to sit down and give media interviews yet.
I don't know what they have to lose.
These people on the board ostracizing you, they're never going to forgive you.
Like, we have forgiveness for serial killers.
You'll get out of jail at some point unless you're called a dangerous offender.
And, you know, and even then you get to go to a condominium style prison eventually, case in point, Paul Bernardo.
But this idea of controlling the narrative, right?
What Leah is going through, I am not surprised whatsoever.
I mean, if she was wearing, say, a t-shirt on her own private property, saying there are two genders and some nosy parker went by, that would be grounds enough to get, you know, the firing process engaged.
Join the Rebellion Against Conformity00:03:26
It just goes to show you, Drea, I'm so happy that our new publication, well, it's not a new publication, it's a republication of 1984 is out.
If you haven't read that yet, folks, or if you read it maybe back in high school decades ago, buy this book.
The value add is the fact that Paul Ravoche, I think he's one of the best artists in Canada, maybe the world.
He is absolutely super talented.
This has never been done.
A 1984 publication that's peppered, I think it's with something like 30 illustrations, all of them gorgeously rendered.
It looks so nice.
Yeah.
And what George Orwell wrote about in 1948 is coming to fruition in Canada in 2023.
Yeah, the Thought Police are definitely out.
And if you have kids, grab that book for them to read too.
It's a really interesting book, and I'm going through it again.
I'm about halfway through it right now.
It's quite shocking now, but this is something a lot of kids were told to read.
They're not told to read that anymore.
So if you have, you know, tweens and up, I would say it's a good book to get them to read as well.
Indeed.
And on that note, Dre, I think we should take an ad break.
I think we might even have an ad coming up for that aforementioned publication.
And then on the other side, we'll talk about, oh, it turns out that a drag chant about we're coming for your children, it was taken out of context.
There's some nuance or something, you see.
Yeah, we'll try to analyze that hot potato on the other side.
In a world plagued by conformity, where truth is distorted, freedom is a distant memory.
And Big Brother is always watching.
One man, Winston Smith, looks to break through his bleak existence.

Naked Truths Revealed00:15:06
So, Drea, we mentioned before we went to that commercial break that there is a chant by the rainbow community that now the mainstream media is hurriedly trying to repackage as something taken out of context.
I'm looking at the NBC News article here.
And because it's NBC, that means it is truth as opposed to nothing but crap.
Anyway, here's how the story starts.
Over the weekend, a short video circulated widely on social media of an unidentified person at a New York City march during Pride festivities saying, quote, we're coming for your children, end quote.
In the 21-second clip, circulated by a right-wing web streamer channel, dozens of people march in the streets and are clearly heard chanting, we're here, we're queer, we're not going shopping.
But one voice that is louder than the crowd, it is not clear whose or whether the speaker was a member of the LGBTQ community, is heard saying at least twice, we're here, we're queer, we're coming for your children.
Oh, I see, Drea.
So not only was it taken out of context, but maybe it's a false flag operation.
That wasn't a member of the LGBT community.
That's probably, oh, what do they say?
One of those white right-wing web streamers.
He was doing that to make the LGBT look bad.
Well, which is it?
Is it taken out of context or is this a false flag operation?
You really can't have it both ways.
I'm very confused by this report, Drea.
Well, let's show the clip of it and then we'll chat some more about that.
Oh, wait.
There we go.
We're not going shopping.
We're here.
You know what, Drea?
I think you should go shopping because just like the members in the Toronto Gay Pride Parade, how about going to a pharmacy and buying, oh, I don't know, some deodorant?
I mean, and if you're identifying as female, yeah, maybe you want to, you know, shave the legs and your armpits.
Not a good look.
Just ask that Nina of 99 Loof Balloons.
That kind of ended her career prematurely.
How about you buy some?
I love how you're laughing at your own joke so hard.
But yeah, buy some clothes if you're going to be around kids too.
But I want to read just a little bit of the lies in that article.
Now that we've watched the clip and we showed it, you just read it, but they're like, like you said, right wing.
They preface it.
So you're like, oh, it must not be true.
It's all just about, hey.
And then it says, but one voice that is louder.
So they're acting like it's one.
And of course, they don't show the video.
If you're news and you're going to do a whole article about something, why not show the clip?
You know what I mean?
Like just show it so people can see for themselves.
But of course they don't want people to see it.
And like you said, they try to make it look like it's only just this one person who is on the right, some far-right extremist coming out.
It's very clearly people in that community.
It's multiple people.
I saw just in that quick clip watching it now, I saw at least six people whose mouths are going to the same words.
And it takes a while to be able to chant something, meaning you have to know what you're going to say before you're already saying it, which means I'm assuming they say it more than just a few times, like we saw in that clip.
It's disgusting as a parent.
You know, it reminds me of how often the conspiracy theorists have been right about so much, you know, whether it be COVID and now, you know, this attack on kids and this normalization of pedophilia.
I mean, out there chanting in public with smiles on your face, we're here, we're queer, we're coming for your children.
This is they're just being honest and it's not in the dark anymore.
You're right, Drea.
And I'll argue this to debunk the false flag narrative.
If that was some right-wing agitator, if that was you or I or Sheila and we showed up to a Pride parade and we started chanting that and it was not sympathetic with how the parade attendees think, we would be beaten to a pulp.
Law enforcement would turn a blind eye.
Just ask Billboard Chris about that one because there are two sets of rules.
So that's why I completely discount that.
If that was totally against what they believe in, they would forcibly, forcibly shut that person down.
And by the way, on the I have to throw this in.
Our good friend Joe Warmington, the scrawler at the Toronto Sun, he's got a story today, naked truth about law.
For some reason, Drea, even when it's a little chilly and overcast and downright raining, the number of naked people showing up at the Toronto Pride Festival gets bigger and bigger.
Now, first of all, and I'm not even making a joke about this, I mentioned this to Sheila on Monday.
I've asked this for decades, even to those in the gay community, never get an answer.
What does pride have to do with nudity?
I mean, I think you're a proud woman.
I'm a proud man.
I don't see us taking our clothes off right now to, you know, enforce that feeling of pride.
Secondly, it is against the law.
Joe quotes the criminal code 174.1.
You cannot be naked in public.
But the police basically, well, you know what?
It's about keeping the peace.
So we're not going to enforce the law, you know, especially.
Oh, and here's another big lie.
Joe didn't pick up on it, but I sure as hell did.
The police spokeswoman, Stephanie Sayre, says, it is not in the best interests of officers or the community to have police waiting into crowds to arrest people for public nudity.
She then goes on to say, especially when the crowd for the Pride parade can be as many as 1 million people.
Will the police please stop uttering this lie that they are mandated to by their political masters?
There is no way in hell that there are a million people coming out for Toronto Pride.
You want to see a million person event?
Think of the original Obama inauguration.
That was a million people.
What you see in Toronto maybe, maybe approaches 100,000.
The police, by the way, Drea, are very good on crowd estimates.
They set up grids, you know, from a helicopter, and they can tell you pretty accurately what's out there.
But for this parade, every year that lie gets recycled, more than a million people came out for pride.
Absolute falsehood.
So if they're going to lie about the attendance, I guess what the hell?
You may as well not even enforce the law, even though there were children there that day seeing this gross parade.
That's the amazing.
If you want to be naked around people behind closed doors and they're adults, you do you.
But children are present.
And that's where it's very sick and very disturbing.
I mean, there seems to be this soft place to fall for voyeurists to come out and have fun and, you know, not have to worry about breaking the law.
Even peeping toms now can put on a wig and go into a little girl's change room and look under there.
And true story, if mom gets upset and tells a front desk, she gets told you better stop or we'll call the police on you.
So, I mean, this is the state.
It's very concerning.
Keep your kids close.
But, Drea, what do we know?
We're right-wing squares.
This is all about diversity and inclusion and equity.
But you know what?
If you really want to get naked in the great outdoors, you have that option.
There are nudist colonies, right?
Just go there.
You know, everyone's letting it all hang out.
And I'm sorry to be a bit of a curmungeon here, but why is it that every time, you know, I happen upon a nude beach, it's always the people you don't want to see naked that are getting naked.
I mean, very little supermodels out there or fitness freaks.
You know, it's more like a display of Ricotta cheese, if you catch my drift.
But I don't get that.
I'll put it to you, Drea.
Have you ever had an urge to go to a nudist colony and get in the buff?
I can't think of HR, HR.
No, it's not.
Leslie's asking me if I've been.
It's completely relevant, HR.
Because for me, I can't think of anything I would least want to do than that.
I mean, that is the one thing that differentiates us from the animal kingdom.
We put clothes on.
The animals don't.
You go naked in public.
As far as I'm concerned, you're an animal, okay?
Yeah, and animals, when you first put clothes on them, they hate it too.
One last thing on this LGBT pride stuff.
Drea, I couldn't help but notice that, you know, I'm thinking Anaheuser-Busch is deliberately trying to kill Bud Light because this got pick up in U.S. media.
Lo and behold, at the Toronto Pride Parade, guess who sponsored a float?
It's none other than Bud, don't call us Dylan Mulvaney Light.
There we go.
You know, say it loud, say it proud as we head into chapter 11.
This to me is staggering, Drea.
The Bud Light boycott shows no signs of abating.
In fact, on that very same page where Joe was talking about the naked truth about the law, which is you will not get charged if you're nude at a pride parade.
Bud Light has resorted to another gimmick south of the border.
Basically, you can get a point of sale $15 rebate when you buy a case of Bud Light, meaning that in some U.S. markets, a case of Bud Light is selling for less than $15.
They're paying you to take it away and people aren't doing it.
And Drea, like I've said before, this is the most fascinating boycott I've ever seen.
Because first of all, I think it's more than a brand of beer.
This is, at least for those on the right, these are people saying, stop shoving this transgender ideology down my throat.
Stop using fake woman to replace biological woman.
That's what it's about.
But on the other side of the spectrum, I came across a story, numerous gay bars, guess what?
They're boycotting Bud Light because they don't think Anheuser-Busch did enough to stand up to the right-wing blowback.
So when you are getting boycotted on both ends of the political spectrum, and again, a boycott I have never seen in decades hence.
Wow, you've got a branding problem.
You've got a marketing problem on your hands.
So what, and there you go, Chicago gay bars, my God, Anheuser-Busch for distancing itself from Dylan Mulvaney.
If I'm the bean counter at Anheuser-Busch, I'm going to the CEO and I'm going, boss, here's what it boils down to.
Let's throw our support with, you know, the people we were demonizing, you know, the blue-collar workers, the frat boys, because there's a hell of a lot of more of them than there are of trans people.
Let's pick a lane and stick in it.
But clearly, with Bud Light sponsoring a float at the Toronto Pride Parade, Drea, they don't know what they're doing, it seems to me.
I don't know.
Maybe they have to go that way.
Maybe, like you said, this is a very epic boycott.
And so they're like, yes, we're getting pushed back here, but we're still getting more support with our new target market after we chose to use Dylan Mulvaney as the face of Bud Light because I know they tried to work with, oh my gosh, is it Harley Davidson?
I don't know how well that campaign went after did it go good?
They probably spent a lot of money on that.
And so maybe they're just trying out of desperation, all of these different ways to survive.
And they're like, you know what?
This is the new Bud Light.
This is who we are now.
You know, it might be a smaller amount of people, but it's all we got.
Yeah, but you know what?
In business, Drea, I want to market to the big percentage of people, not the statistical rounding error.
The beer drinkers.
And by the way, it's funny you say Harley-Davidson.
One of the parade, you know, floats, if you will, or presenters, it's something called Dykes on Bikes.
And they typically ride Harley-Davidsons.
And I found out this from a police source.
The Toronto Police Motorcycle Unit, they use Harley-Davidsons.
And eventually they have to be decommissioned.
And when they go to auction, a disproportionate number of lesbians bid on these motorcycles.
Interesting.
Yeah, he couldn't figure it out either, but there's some thing about lesbians riding a ex-police motorcycle.
I can't connect the dots, but that's just what I was told.
But there's some.
And of course, not all of those are Harley's.
Some are, like that one right there.
But yeah, I was just going to ask you from a female perspective, what do you think that might be, Drea?
I don't know.
It's a good place to buy a bike.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Whatever.
They're not walking around naked in front of little kids.
I'm all for it.
Whatever.
Be a dike on a bike.
There you go, ladies.
From the words of Drea Humphrey herself, be a dyke on a bike.
But you know what?
Before we get into more trouble, we got to take another ad break and then we'll pick up some more interesting items on the other side.
Keep it here.
Canada Day Gear Sale00:14:10
Would you like to bring our new documentary, Church Under Fire, Canada's War on Christianity, to your church or group?
Our documentary tells the story of the authoritarian attacks on places of worship under the guise of public health during COVID.
It documents the congregations and pastors who stood up to government overreach and paid the price for it.
Now, the documentary isn't just an historical record of what happened.
It explains how and why the groundwork was laid years in advance.
Now, we want as many people as possible to see this documentary so that while we may forgive, we may never forget what happened.
And that's why we have a special licensing option for you to bring the documentary to your church.
If you're a pastor, reach out to us at savethechristians.com.
You'll find a special licensing tab there.
And if you're a congregant, let your church leadership know that this documentary exists and that you can have it shown in your own church.
And lastly, if you know of a venue or theater who would host a screening, you can make that happen by visiting savethechristians.com.
And thank you to everybody who supported and who continues to support this very important work.
We could not do any of this without you.
For Rebel News, I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed.
Progressives across this country are going out of their way to erase Canada's national identity, whether it's cancelling fireworks or cancelling Canada Day altogether.
If there's one thing that these folks hate, it's patriotism.
So why not support our independent journalism and stick it to the progressives who would love to cancel Canada Day by going to RebelNewsStore.com and purchasing some of our incredible Canada Day themed gear, like this shirt I'm wearing right now.
Again, you'll be supporting our important work and you'll be sticking up for Canada's national identity, rejecting progressive cancel culture and saying, no, we are indeed Canadian.
Again, go to rebelnewsstory.com.
You know, Drea, I'm going to reach out to the team for next year's July.
If we're committed to our national holiday, if we're committed to speaking out against cancel culture, we shouldn't be calling July 1st Canada Day.
We should be calling it Dominion Day.
I'm one of the diehards that still does that.
If you look at the history, this was the result of Blackface Classic back in 1982 on the last day of Parliament with seven members short of a quorum ramrodding through legislation, changing Dominion Day and erasing a century of history to Canada Day.
So please take a stand against the Trudeau regime by referring to it as Dominion Day.
And by the way, Drea, one last item on trans sanity.
Speaking of rebranding, this is just too cute for words, isn't it?
And here's why I care about it because it's my money and your money and all our viewers' money going towards this madness.
The CBC is changing LGBTQIA2S plus to 2STNBGC.
I repeat, 2STNBGC.
You know, that almost sounds like a U.S. cable news network, Drea, like MSNBC LSD.
Why?
Who in blue hell uses that moniker?
I mean, like, what is going on here?
And doesn't it give credence to what I was proposing at the beginning of the show?
Why don't we just call it the queer community so we don't get all mixed up and tongue-tied with these endless initials and numbers?
I don't think they all consider themselves queer.
So the plus.
Why did we go beyond the plus?
Because I thought the plus meant like, and then some buttons.
I don't know.
I can't keep up.
We actually have a live chat as well from Fraser McBurney, familiar name.
Thanks for your continued support on the live streams.
Fraser says, when the insane rule the idiots, you know you're in trouble.
And worst of all, the government thinks we are all idiots.
Hands off our kids.
Absolutely there.
Yeah.
Couldn't agree.
Yeah, it should go without saying, Fraser, but that is the problem.
It is the Educrats in these school boards.
And believe me, folks, they don't give a rodent's rectum about the parents nor the kids.
These are politicians not ready for prime time.
They're getting their feet wet to go on to municipal, provincial, and federal politics.
And they are all of the ultra-left.
And those who aren't and speak out are ostracized.
And this is the problem, Drea.
We expect boards of education and schools and teachers to guide our children, protect our children, as the case may be.
They are, you know, for the time they're in school at a young age, they are temporary parents, if you will.
We don't expect them to be corrupted by those individuals.
And that is what's happening right now.
Well, I got news for you, David.
It's a totally different subject, but you did mention it not too long ago.
It's about our Rebel News store.
You don't have to tell them to do Dominion Day shirts or anything like that.
They're ahead of the game.
They have it there.
So if anybody wants to take that stand right away, you can go to rebelnewsstore.com.
And we do have some, there you go, on the screen right there.
Dominion Day merch.
So look at that.
I love that.
You need one.
You need one.
Let's be consistent.
Let's call it Dominion Day.
In fact, how about we print hats?
Make Dominion Day great again.
Have you done a report on this?
Oh, you've never done a report.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
And in my freelancing career, I think I wrote a column about this in National Post, Western Standard, and so on.
But sometimes, Drea, I feel like that former wrestler back in the 80s, the one-man gang.
I need allies.
I need us all.
So my July 1st wish for us all, folks, keep referring to our holiday as Dominion Day.
Thank you.
Now, we started with some news out of BC.
I think we don't have much time left, but maybe we'll end with a little bit more news because I think this is definitely newsworthy.
We had two by-elections recently here in BC.
One election was in the Lankford riding, which if you recall was the former Premier John Horgan's seat.
So that's what was being filled.
Now, it was won by the NDP, not really shocking in our dear socialist province.
NDP Ravi Parmere won and took that seat.
And also in another riding, just to add in, which was, sorry, I forget the name of that riding.
Okay, sorry, I'm butchering this, but Parmer won by 53%.
And another candidate in the Vancouver Mount Pleasant by-election, Joan Phillips, she also won with 67%.
So neither of that is surprising.
They usually vote NDP there.
But what is surprising here is usually the opposition is the BC United, which is formerly the BC Liberals Party.
And that's usually who people consider to be the Conservative Party out here.
But actually, the second place in Lankford was the Conservative Party of BC.
So that newly branded party.
And they got, their candidate got 20% of the votes.
So, yeah.
Well, Drea, Hope Springs Eternal.
And by the way, thanks for clarifying what BC United was.
I thought it might have been the new name for the Vancouver white cap soccer.
But apparently it's a political party, folks, not a soccer club.
But that is significant.
And, you know, maybe the tides will turn.
But, you know, I got to ask you, Drea, since you've spent so much time in British Columbia, what is it about the North American West Coast that is so uber left, beginning with British Columbia, right on down to Washington State, Oregon, California, of course?
I guess one statistical anomaly would be Alaska.
They're not, you know, hardcore granola eaters out there.
I guess when you're trying to survive that weather up there, you know, that takes that takes precedence.
But why is it such a hotbed of leftism on the West Coast?
I don't know why we're at the West Coast.
I don't know the answer.
I mean, I would say when you look at campaigns and stuff, there seems to be a lot more money going into the NDP's campaigns, if you ask me.
I mean, even when there was this small, they were trying to recall our premier David Eby, our new premier's MLA seat, and there was activists, I covered that, and they were doing an organized campaign to try to have a seat recalled.
I noticed that although Premier Eby had won his seat, he had already been elected.
When they were doing that, there were ads running non-stop just like about him, like making people be like, oh, this is who he is.
So there seems to be an endless amount of money.
I think that that's a factor into it.
But I want to circle back to something else you said when you mentioned the BC United and their name sounding more like something for soccer instead of a political party.
So that's basically what the leader of their party is saying, Kevin Falcon, says, we knew when we were changing our name 10 weeks ago that it was going to hurt us in these two by-elections.
Falcon said that we still went ahead with it, though, because we knew these were two NDP strongholds and we had to rip off the band-aid and get on with it.
So it is true a lot of people in their own party didn't like that they had the term liberals.
So they're saying, you know, it's because of the name change that this happened.
I know people who wanted to vote for something conservative.
And back when you would say, well, that's kind of the BC Liberals, like they just couldn't digest that, especially if they don't follow politics.
They're like, isn't that Trudeau?
And you're like, no, it's provincial.
So I get that.
But nevertheless, name change or not, it is still remarkable to, you know, get 20%.
They did fairly well.
The Conservative Party of BC did fairly well in the other writing as well.
If you look at it, they have an MLA.
Their leader is John Rusted.
That's the first time they've had an MLA in over 12 years, that party.
And I believe it's been since the 60s since they've even run candidates in a lot of ridings, which they say in the next election, they will have a candidate running in all ridings.
So it does seem that the BC United and probably even if they were still called the BC Liberals would have some competition.
You know, that is a fascinating note that you've presented, Drea, because what you're telling me is that the BC United people knew this is not a good name and not a winnable name, but we're going to do it anyways.
I mean, like, where's the logic there?
I know.
I think, I mean, they did vote on it, so it is what it is, but they knew they had to change the name.
I don't know why that one won.
I don't think it was a good name.
But people recognize the name conservatives.
And so that name, that party has changed their name too.
It used to just be called the BC Conservatives, but when they rebranded, they turned it to the Conservative Party of BC.
But if you do a change like that, people still know who you are, right?
Yeah.
And maybe you might want to, I don't know, hire a market research company and shop it around, do a little test screening like they do with movies in Hollywood, find out you've got some kind of winning formula.
I mean, if you really want a real dog of a name, liberals, how about BC Bud Light?
How does that sound for you?
Of course, in your neck of the woods, I think the term Bud Light might mean a certain brand of wacky tobacco, eh, Drea?
Maybe it is a winner after all.
You'll get that community to vote for you.
It might work well out here.
I'm not sure.
Well, Drea, I see that we're right up against the wall.
Unless we have any more super chats, my friend.
I don't see any.
Oh, my.
Save by the bell.
Yeah, my phone is weird.
Well, I guess it needs to be refreshed or something.
I'm scrolling back down.
It just jumped up.
Oh, we do.
We have one from Cool Beans89, another familiar name.
Thanks so much for your support.
It means a lot and it helps us run.
Donates $5, says David, the song Cruel to Be Kind was done by Nick Lowe and was a hit in 1979, also during the broadcast of the Toronto mayor vote.
Sneaky Patrick Brown was on the panel.
Yuck.
Sneaky Patrick Brown00:05:01
Unbelievable.
And well, first of all, Cool Beans, thank you very much.
I was guessing with Sheila, it was Tom Petty, but I stand corrected.
Thank you so much for that.
And yeah, you know, amongst the winners and losers in the Toronto mayoral by-election, of which there were 102 candidates.
And by the way, Drea, where I draw the line between loser and super loser, if you got under 600 votes, which is what the dog candidate got, almost 600.
Wow.
How do you mention that at the next cocktail party?
Yeah, you know, back in 2023, I ran for mayor of Toronto.
I got beaten by another species.
I can't believe you guys had a dog candidate.
I'm still struggling with that.
It's unbelievable.
But on the subject of Patrick Brown, yeah, why is the mayor of Brampton interfering with the Toronto election?
We got a scoop about this a week ago, Drea, where he was that sneaky Patrick gung-ho to get Mark Saunders elected.
That is also, was also Premier Ford's choice of candidate.
And the allegations go that Brown's henchmen from Brampton were organizing the Tamil community to vote en masse with mail-in ballots.
Some of these people, I understand, can't even speak English.
They had the ballots filled out for them.
Just sign there.
Oh, what am I signing?
Shut up and sign, and we'll do the rest, okay?
And yet again, in his inglorious political career, you know, Patrick Brown, he's like that salesman in Glen Gary, Glenn Ross.
He's always trying to get first prize, the Cadillac El Dorado, and he always, always has to settle for second prize, a set of steak knives.
What a loser.
And it looks good on you, Sneaky Patrick.
For those who don't know, this is the mayor of Brampton that shut down all the playgrounds and parks and ball diamonds and soccer fields during COVID so the kids couldn't play while he snuck his candy ass into an ice rink with his berry buddies to play shiny.
What a disgrace.
So that's all you need to know about that guy.
So yeah, the fact that Saunders finished way out of the race despite that alleged Tamil organizing, I couldn't be happier, Drear.
And if any of you have not seen David's coverage of busting Sneaky Patrick going to play hockey while he banned kids from doing the same, you have to look it up.
It is some of your finest work.
I love it.
My whole family was like sitting there enjoying it so much.
Oh, thank you so much, Ray.
And you know, it's funny.
Brown showed up at Ford Fest on Friday.
Brown hates Ford, and the feeling is mutual.
Ford took Brown's job or the job that was to be Premier of Ontario in January 2018.
The Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario threw Brown under the bus, thank God.
And within six months, we're able to have a leadership convention and have Doug Ford as the new leader who won a majority government.
So Brown, of course, is incredibly resentful of the PCs and particularly Doug Ford for that.
So why was he at that event?
Some last-minute, you know, ballot harvesting work, I suspect.
But the funniest thing, Drea, when I came over to scrum him, at first he tried to run away, but I kept following him.
And then he says, words to the effect, oh, I'm sorry, you are a lie.
Oh, whatever.
Like, he's such a liar.
You know, Patrick Brown, Drea, could spit in your face and he would tell you it's raining.
Okay.
That's how much he didn't know who you were.
And I had to resist Drea from saying, oh, Patrick, you know who I am.
I believe my photograph is on your dartboard back home in Brampton, right?
So don't give me that shinola.
Anyhow, literally, we could go on.
He drives away on the high.
Saw you on the highway, didn't even go or whatever.
Saw you driving, didn't even go where he was going.
Went to the police station instead.
Come on.
Oh, unbelievable.
Well, you know, Drea, it was a pleasure.
Thank you so much for joining me on the daily roundup.
And thank you to super producer Olivia for banning the boards.
Or is it womaning the boards?
I get confused with the language these days, folks.
I will be back here tomorrow with another Rebel News personality.
In the meantime, folks, as always, stay safe and stay sane.
I am doing something today that I have never tried before.
Need Belief For Win-Win Partnerships00:01:25
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% dual 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,
