DAILY Roundup examines Justin Trudeau’s $54.53 carbon tax "thievery" on a $429.80 gas bill, his $75K+ grocery budget vs. average Canadian income, and cabinet reshuffles—Al Gabra, Bennett, Murray exiting amid pandemic backlash. The WHO’s pandemic treaty risks sovereignty erosion, per James Roguski’s stopthewho.com research, while Canada’s Arrive Can app collects unused vaccine data. Natokinase supplements from The Wellness Company claim to dissolve COVID spike proteins, but critics argue policies like vaccine discrimination (e.g., Garnett Harper’s denied kidney transplant) reflect "medical apartheid." Trudeau’s declining support may force a shift, yet systemic failures persist. [Automatically generated summary]
I'm Tamara Ugolini, your co-host, and I'm joined here with our Quebec correspondent, Alexa Lavoie.
Alexa, how are you doing over there?
Really fabulous.
Have you seen how beautiful day it is today?
Yeah, we're not with the looming, the looming wildfire smoke today, are we?
No.
Yeah, good.
Good.
It's like I'm, I feel like I'm just recovering from a manic Monday.
So it feels like Monday has just kind of moved over and been pushed over into Tuesday.
But here we are.
We have a jam-packed schedule to share with you for anybody who is not familiar with what we're doing today.
It is Tuesday, July 25th, which is absolutely crazy to think that we're pretty much out of July.
It will be into August before we know it.
But this is our way to kind of dissect the news of the day and provide some commentary on political happenings and other worldly things that are happening.
And usually David Menzies hosts the daily stream and the daily roundup as we're calling it now.
But because our studio is still being refurbished, there was a couple tweaks that we need to get to to just to make it that extra bit better.
And if you're not familiar with what I'm talking about, you can head over to buildthedream.com or dot ca.
I can never remember what the denotion was there.
But yeah, buildthedream.com.
And you can see how we've revamped our studio.
So there's a couple tweaks happening this week.
So David Menzies has been sent on as our mission specialist to head out to the field.
There it is there.
Yeah, you can see Ezra in a hard hat.
So the studio is pretty much there, but there were just a couple tweaks.
And so we're hosting remotely for, I think, the remainder of the week and maybe another couple of days next week, depending.
You know, renovations are like that thing where you just never really sure what you're going to get and you're never really sure how long exactly or how much it's going to cost in the end.
So that's where we're at, but stay tuned at buildthedream.com if you want to follow along.
We're streaming on a couple of different platforms.
And I was just, I find that funny because it seems like you describe what we get with the liberals.
We never know how much it would cost us and what we would get at the end of the day.
That's right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's just, we'll put a rough budget in place, but I mean, it could be a couple million dollars more than that.
And it could take five years instead of the allotted one or two.
I'm never really sure what you're going to get.
That's a good analogy to use.
But for those of you who are joining us, we're streaming on YouTube, Rumble, Getter, and Odyssey.
But at some point, because of YouTube's censorious thuggery, we will be talking about some COVID nitty-gritty and we don't want to have to self-censor.
So we will sign off of YouTube at that point.
And then I would invite you to join us on Rumble, Odyssey, or Getter.
I hope I had those platforms correct.
And of course, David Menzies would always tell you what national day it is.
And so in honor of him and his inability to join us today, today I'm finding is National Carousel Day or National Merry-Go-Round Day, which commemorates the first patent for a carousel design in 1871.
If you can believe it, I don't know, Alexa, do you have any carousels or merry-go-rounds where you are?
No.
We have a super vintage one.
National Merry-Go-Round Day Smiles and Waves00:03:23
There's one.
We have a super vintage one in Roseneath.
So it's a very small little, I guess it's, I guess it's like an indigenous, oh, why can't I think of the word?
Anyway, it's on Aboriginal territory or land.
And I think it dates back to the late 1800s in this little small town called Roseneath.
It's just north of where I live anyway.
So that's kind of a highlight.
They have a fall fair.
And anyway, so today's National Carousel Day, they're in honor of David Menzies and his funny little tidbits of information that he seems to just come up with out of thin air.
Okay, but anyway, we have a ton of news to dissect today.
And I suppose the first thing we'll get to is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who I suspect is starting to go out on the campaign trail.
He's been acting and this, we'll have some other recent news to share with you on why we think that is.
But in this particular video, he stops to get a selfie with someone who he thinks is a fan, who turns out to actually be more of a hater.
Have a look.
It's like it reminds me when he always turns around and smiles and waves no matter what kind of things you're yelling at him.
And you see that more and more these days.
He is doing that with everybody because I remember when he came in Montreal for visiting agriculture role worker, and I was the only one there.
And I said, I was just screaming his name, and he just turned around.
I'm by myself, by the way, and just wave at me until he realized it was me.
And he stopped.
Yeah, it doesn't matter what you're yelling at him or what's going on around him.
He's just so, he has his one thing that he has to follow, and that just seems to be smile and wave.
You know, that old, we have this thing in English where we say, when even if you don't agree with something or you, you know, you want to bite your tongue, you smile and nod, smile and nod.
And Trudeau has this thing where he just smiles and waves, smiles and waves.
Doesn't matter what's going on around him.
But this is happening more and more.
We saw most recently in Belleville, where he was heckled by a large crowd so much so they had to cancel or cut short their convoy, for lack of a better word,
his entourage of all of these gas-guzzling SUVs that he rolls up on these events in, which is funny because he's always criticizing everyone for their carbon usage and has now imposed two or three different carbon taxes onto Canadians indiscriminately.
And actually, that's kind of leads us into the next video that we have to share with you, which is a clip that we have from a struggling grandma at a recent event.
So I think after Trudeau went to Belleville, he went to Peterborough.
And then this one, this particular clip comes from Buckhorn.
He held a gathering there.
Carbon Tax Burden00:11:32
And this grandma gives a tearful exchange on how the carbon tax has caused her to not be able to feed her family and that she's down.
Well, I don't want to give it away.
So let's show this clip and then we'll talk about it after.
I feel like you failed me.
And I'm asking you here today to fix that.
Something's wrong now, Mr. Joel.
My heat and hydro now cost me more than my mortgage.
I now Not only work 75 hours a week, I stay and work 15 hours a day just so I don't lose my home.
My hydro bill, my hydro bill, I want to share with you.
A single family home, one person who works hard with a brace up to her leg, partially paralyzed every single day I put that brace on, and I'm proud to be Canadian, but something's wrong with our system.
And I have faith in you and God that you're going to work hard to fix it.
How do you explain to a woman how she's supposed to pay a hydro bill, $1,085?
And I did it!
I've done it!
I've done it for the last year.
I lived without hydro for five days after paying a $680 bill.
They showed up one day.
I'm asking you, Mr. Trideau, and here is my question today.
How do you justify to a mother of four children, three grandchildren, physical disabilities, and working up to 15 hours a day, how is it justified for you to ask me to pay a carbon tax when I only have $65 left of my paycheck every two weeks to feed my family?
A lot of different elements come into your question.
A number of them are provincial.
Hydro bills are provincial.
But as you point out, the federal government's decision to put a price on carbon is something that we have moved forward with.
And it's one that is causing consternation amongst a broad range of people.
And I understand because carbon and carbon emissions and carbon is part of everything we do, whether it's heating our homes or getting back and forth from work or in the products we buy.
Just zero compassion in his response.
There was just no empathy, no sympathy for that struggling, obviously very hardworking and disabled grandmother who can't even afford to heat her home.
And that is before she's even seen how the second implementation of this carbon tax is going to affect her bills moving into this winter, right?
We're in the summer.
We're not currently having to heat our homes in minus 20, minus 30 degree weather as we have in various parts across Canada.
So she, I think, hasn't even seen the worst of it yet.
No, because now that they want to electrify everywhere, like the country, the Quebec, and of course, like electricity and all the costs will raise, especially I'm probably sure that they will add more tax on carbon for really discouraged people to use fossil fuel to heat their home.
So people will probably need to turn the heating system into the electric system.
But if you're not from Quebec, I would say that I don't know how other provinces are paying for their electricity.
I don't know if it's equal to Quebec or a little bit more higher, or maybe you are actually paying less than us.
But I would say that at one point, I don't think we will have enough electricity for everybody.
I think they will ask us to reduce our consumption of electricity by paying more for it.
So I am probably expecting on the years to come, probably like new regulation will apply as like Everybody not like washing in the same time or not consuming at the high peak in the same time to make the electricity more fluid and more affordable.
But I think like we will need we will like loss like we're not having like electricity for everybody.
Like I'm pretty sure for it.
And so the problem that she's living right now would be the reality for most of Canadians in the future.
Well, we just need to look at California, who has rolling blackouts at any given time and the burden on the electricity grid that is not equipped to run electric vehicles and support the increasing demand, not to mention the carbon required to generate the electricity.
And I'm seeing here, I'm becoming a little bit more reliably informed that that is potentially an old clip that's just been rehashed and reshared.
But regardless, I have, it's not electricity, but I published on Twitter back in March of this year, a screenshot, a small capture of my Enbridge gas bill.
And this was pri this was after the first carbon tax implementation prior to the second one that all Canadians got to celebrate on Canada Day when Trudeau implemented the second set of his taxes to help, I guess, with the help offset the heating of the environment or the earth.
And so this is a snapshot of my gas bill.
And this was actually small compared to what we paid.
This was in March.
So what we paid actually in December, January, and February.
And you can see here that my previous bill was $626.
So that's 30 days.
And I don't keep my house crazy hot.
I keep it at, you know, 20 degrees Celsius, give or take.
And then the next amount was $429.80.
So that was for part of February and into March.
And if you break down the charges there, so you can see federal carbon charge.
So this is a percentage of your total bill.
It's not a set amount.
Every bill doesn't get the same amount.
But the percentage of my bill that went to the federal carbon charge was $54.53.
And this might seem like not very much to some people, but when you add that to every person's bill, every person's gas bill will have a percentage allotted to the federal carbon charge.
And that could be $50, it could be 20, so on and so forth, times millions of users of gas users.
This is an astronomical amount going to our government.
And what are they doing with it?
Like, where is that money actually going in terms of a tangible benefit under the guise of somehow being able to magically cool the earth and prevent what they call this climate hysteria of global warming?
I know what you're saying.
It just makes no sense.
That goes to their SUV gas car and to their jet plane.
And like actually, they are using real life gas and carbon with the money that we spend in overfee for a carbon tax.
Well, and as you can see in this breakdown here, you know, there's a customer charge, there's a delivery charge, there's a transportation to Enbridge to their facility charge.
And then there's the gas supply charge, which I think is what my actual usage was, which was $146 out of $429.80.
That's what I actually used in gas.
Rest is just, I don't know, I would say thievery in my opinion, and tax.
There's a cost adjustment.
And then, of course, there's HST on top of it.
So, you actually pay, I believe, and correct me someone if I'm wrong, but you pay the federal carbon charge and then you pay HST tax, provincial tax, on top of your federal carbon charge.
Like, it's quite literally taxed on top of tax at this point.
And we know that Canadians pay, you know, the average, I think, is approximately 40 to 50 percent of our wages go to tax.
And that $54 this day and age, that's like a third of the average Canadian's grocery bill a week.
That is a huge amount of money that Canadians can be better utilizing to feed their families and afford fresh fruits and vegetables for their children.
That's going just to our government, who is so high up in their ivory towers.
We've had a few articles recently, and perhaps we can pull them up quickly.
But Trudeau is on par to spend almost $100,000 in just his personal grocery budget this year, which is more than what the average Canadian makes in a year.
He is so out of touch and so misaligned with what actual Canadians are dealing with on the ground that it makes sense that we may be heading into another snap election with some of the ways that the government is that he's acting currently.
Yeah, there he is on track to spend well over $100,000 on groceries at his personal residence in 2023.
And I think it's at the end of that particular article where it denotes that the average Canadian makes, I think it was about $75,000 a year.
And again, that's based on how your family and so on and so forth.
Yeah, down at the very, very bottom, I think it's the last sentence.
I referenced this report.
Oh, maybe not.
Anyway, we've done, oh, there it is.
The average Canadian household income in 2022 was $75,500.
So he's spending more than the average Canadian makes just on his own personal grocery bill.
But the thing with Justin Trudeau is just because he is born already in a rich family, really wealthy, no problem where there.
So the fact that he never faced what is the real reality for the middle wage people in Canada, he will never really understand what it is to struggle at the end of the month, what it is to struggle to always like questioning if you will have enough, like to just pay like for a simple thing as milk at the end.
Some people need to make choice right now.
Do I'm eating meat or I'm taking like, I don't know, like substitute or like I'm probably not, I would not probably surprise to see some people who are under nutrient, like based food at one point, like that would need like to probably use supplement pills because they will like not eating like equally on their diet.
Yeah.
Shuffling Cabinet for Re-election00:15:06
Yeah, we can't afford the 2019 Canada Food Guide recommendation of servings of fruits and vegetables per day because it came out in 2019, pre this record inflationary period, arguably at the hands of the Justin Trudeau liberals and their money printing, their endless money printing throughout the COVID hysteria, which now he's starting to reap the, he's starting to reap the repercussions of.
And we're hearing now that he's going to be shuffling his cabinet.
So this is huge news.
Just this morning, two additional ministers announced that they would not be seeking re-election.
And these are high top bureaucrats in the Liberal cabinet.
So, this particular story comes from Global News, and it's the announcement of Transport Minister Omar Al Gabra and Procurement Minister Helena.
I want to make sure to pronounce her last name, Yatsek.
They announced on their social media this morning that they would not be seeking re-election.
And so, the way that Trudeau has been campaigning and he's been hosting these town halls and traveling all across the country, where he just gets repeatedly heckled and has groups of protesters following his entourage along.
Now, we have some of his senior cabinet announcing that they will not be seeking re-election.
But I don't think it really matters because they're sitting on a gold-plated pension.
They have a cushy retirement laid out for them.
Helena Yatsek is 72 years old.
So, she gets to sit on, yeah, she gets to sit on a nice retirement pension.
And Omar Al Gabra, I mean, he's only 53, but he'll have a cushy pension waiting for him as he steps down as the Minister of Transportation, which I think his legacy, Omar Al Gabra's legacy, will be the failure of the Arrive Can app, which we saw instituted in Canada for all travelers, both Canadian nationals and international travelers coming to Canada,
were coerced by this government under the guise of stopping the spread of COVID-19 to download what many called spyware, government-sanctioned spyware through this Arrive Can app, where you had to list your vaccine status, upload your private medical information, your testing COVID-19 PCR testing documents.
And then you had the government basically following up with you during that post-arrival period on whether or not you became symptomatic with COVID.
But they never tracked any of the data.
It never was used in any sort of tangible way.
The company itself, I think it was like $53 million cost for this app to be developed, whereas small Canadian talent said they could do it for a quarter, if that, of the price.
Less than that.
Less than that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so I think that will be Omar Al Gabra's legacy is just his complete inability to adequately manage the COVID response, pandemic preparedness, the strikes at the airports, the failures at the airports, the backlogs.
Traveling there in 2022, 2021 and 2022 was absolutely insanely cumbersome.
And it was at the hands of him as the transport minister.
And same with the trucker convoy that took to the nation's capital in 2022.
This was due to COVID-related mandates instituted by the federal government and him as transport minister.
Well, I wanted to have your opinion on that, but what do you think is the strategic plan behind the fact that now they are shuffling the different minister to change for other one?
What do you think that because they have a fresh meet in expression that now like people will like maybe trust more liberals?
Well, I wonder if they're just rats fleeing a sinking ship as they see maybe their internal polling is showing that favorability of the liberal cabinet is at an all-time low.
We see it when Trudeau is out in public.
He's heckled by protesters.
He is not liked by many Canadians on the ground.
He truly is a fringe minority government, and he's only being upheld because the other fringe minority government of the NDP and he have this unofficial coalition where they essentially prop each other up as though they are a majority government, but they don't, they aren't.
They're two fringe minority governments banding together and in this very undemocratic exercise of power and overreach into the House of Commons and our parliamentary procedures.
And I think that Canadians are fed up.
They're seeing that their policies are negatively affecting people, our economy.
If we can't afford fruit to feed our families, this is a government failure.
This isn't a good sign that things are going well in Canada.
Our various systems that we fund and we pay into with these aggressive taxes are failing us and are crumbling.
And so either this is rats fleeing, sorry, a sinking ship, or maybe Trudeau is shuffling around to become more woke, or will the cabinet become less woke?
Who's to say?
As I mentioned, some of these ministers are getting up there in age.
And yeah, maybe it's to get fresh meat in, but maybe it's because they can see via their internal polling, but also out in public, that Canadians are fed up and they're not agreeable to these policies and the way that the government is heading.
Do you think that that will happen in 2023, or you think that maybe earlier in 2024?
I would personally, I hope that the sooner that an election is called, the better.
I don't know how we could continue.
And I think so, the leader of the NDP, Jagmeet Sang, has said that they've banded together at this unofficial coalition, I believe, until sometime in 2025.
And many argue that that's because Jagmeet Seng is on track to get his pension in 2025.
So you have to be two terms running eight years as a minister in order to get your pension.
And so Jagmeet Seng isn't quite there yet.
He needs roughly a year and a half more in his term to get that pension.
And so many argue that his reason for forming this unofficial coalition is just so that he can ensure he gets his pension in 2025.
But I am, it looks dire if we're into 2025 with this government who remains so out of touch, showing grotesque ineptitude and incompetence.
And as we're seeing now, so he has three ministers not running again, as we mentioned: Omar Al Gabra, procurement minister Helena.
And then there's also on Monday, Mental Health and Addictions Minister Carolyn Bennett.
She announced that she would not be seeking re-election at the end of her current term.
And then we also have Joyce Murray, who's 69 years old.
And there's talks now.
We have this tweet to share as well, if we can pull it up on screen.
Yeah, Joyce Murray, she's the fisheries minister.
She won't be seeking re-election.
And then there's also some unofficial talks that Justice Minister David LeMette and Bill Blair, the emergency preparedness minister and former public safety minister, will also not be running for re-election.
So this is pretty heat because these were also key players in the handling of the pandemic response of the Freedom Convoy, trucker convoy that took to the nation's capital.
I mean, Alexa, you were there on the ground.
The political landscape at that time was really looking very dire.
And I think that was really the sentiment on the ground at the convoy itself is just the distaste and the dissatisfaction with these very ministers.
Yes, and the manipulation of the information, the lies that was like propagated into the cabinet.
And we saw it during the commission, like all like the untruth that was just like unveiled during that commission.
And finally, like the commissioner needed to trust a side or another.
And it's really sad that he trusts like the side of the cabinet because there was like so much manipulation of information.
And this is disgraceful for Canadian.
And I would say that I'm not going to miss them.
Or maybe it will get worse.
We never know like what we would get afterwards.
Is it worse or it's going to get better?
We cannot know until we don't have the name of the people.
Well, that's right.
That's why I say like, is the Liberal Party going to become more woke or less?
Are they shooting things around because they're seeing that Canadians are not in agreement with the way the party is going?
I mean, regardless, it looks like the Liberal Party is going down.
The public distaste and distrust in the government is up.
And we have this massive either resignation or not seeking re-election happening with top senior officials in the Liberal cabinet.
This is pretty big news.
And I just, if it weren't for that NDP coalition and the NDP leader, Jagnit Singh, propping up the Liberal government, I think this would just trigger, this would be a clear indication that there is an election.
And maybe there still is, maybe there's still hope, but I don't know how we're going to make it to 2025, that's for sure.
And the thing is, imagine if the Liberals are losing the next election, talking for this.
And finally, they decide to replace Justin Trudeau.
I'm just wondering who is the person who will take the place of Justin Trudeau and try to rebuild the Liberal Party or that person.
That's a great question.
And I guess we'll see in the coming days.
I think this is supposed to be announced tomorrow morning, if I'm remembering correctly.
So we'll see who's going to be shuffled around and put in some new positions.
I don't know if before we head on into an ad break, we want to just show this little clip of Omar Al Gabra and his actual social media announcement.
Hi, friends.
After almost 11 years as a member of parliament, two and a half years as a minister and six elections, I've made the difficult decision to not run in the next election.
Until then, I will continue to serve the constituents of Mississauga Center as their member of parliament.
As a result of this decision, I'm also stepping aside from my role as minister because the prime minister deserves a cabinet who is committed to running in the next federal campaign.
This was not an easy decision.
It's always tricky to figure out the best timing for such a step, but I feel it's the right time for me.
I've had an incredible journey in public service.
As the Minister of Transport, I helped lead our country through many challenging issues.
We protected Canadians during COVID while supporting the transportation industry during an extraordinary period.
We worked on reforming our aviation sector by enhancing transparency and accountability.
We worked on improving our supply chain and established a supply chain office that will advance resilience and efficiency within our transportation network.
We are moving closer to making the dream of a high-frequency passenger rail that connects Quebec City to Toronto a reality.
Those are just a few examples of the important projects that I had the honor of working on that are important to Canada.
During this wonderful ride, I met incredible Canadians and visited every corner of our beautiful country.
I loved every minute of it.
I'm very grateful to have worked alongside Prime Minister Trudeau and to have gained his confidence.
I remain committed to his vision and his leadership.
I also want to thank my supporters who've kept believing in me.
My current and former staff for their dedication.
The amazing public servants who serve Canadians with integrity.
My colleagues who have become like family to me.
And lastly, I want to thank my constituents who I've had the honor of representing in Ottawa.
This has been the journey of a lifetime, and I feel exceptionally lucky to have had this experience.
Canada is the best country in the world because of our people and our values.
I'm excited for what's next.
But in the meantime, thank you for everything.
I think he was going to cry a lot.
Like he pet himself talking about, I did so great for transportation, plane industry.
And no, you actually did the opposite.
Stop by getting lies.
You actually make like the airport the worst in the world.
You actually like did the worst thing for the trucker to stop them to do their job and to make their company running.
You stole so many jobs from workers because you impose a shock that people didn't want it.
And now you just say, oh, I was so great.
And now I'm going to something else better.
I was like, seriously, like this guy is living another world, but I don't know where he is, but he's in his head.
Yeah, it's the ivory tower that they just dwell up in there with not a care in the world.
He says, I've visited every corner of this country and I'm thinking, yeah, on taxpayer dollars, thanks to the taxes of hardworking Canadians who are struggling to feed their families, let alone tour across the country.
Concerns Over International Health Accord00:08:06
And he says Canada's.
Thanks for the fossil fuel that actually did transport you too, eh?
Yeah, we can't forget about that.
He says that Canada is the best country because of the people and the values that it has.
But these politicians are so out of touch and ignore the people and those very values that built our great country and are just striving to turn it into this woke dumpster fire of inclusivity and tolerance under the guise of disavowing every identity that used to make Canada Canada, this great country that he says that we have.
And I think, as I've already mentioned, that Canadians are seeing that the Liberal Party is just destroying that best, the best country that we know and love and are getting fed up with it.
But of course, he had to say in there that he still supports the vision of Justin Trudeau.
So that's not very reassuring for who's to replace next.
Or maybe that's just the double speak of politicians who talk out of both sides of their mouths.
We're never really sure.
Yeah.
So let's go.
I'm not going to miss him either, as Bill Blair Lamity and everybody else.
We have, I'm just going to read this one super chat quickly, and then we will go to an ad from the wellness company who started up recently in Canada.
It's from AMT60, gives $5.
Thank you very much.
Are you concerned about the new WHO treaty that might be in effect by May of 2024?
Did you discuss the price of the Rumble Rance being less than $5 US?
Because that equals $7 Canadian.
Could you make it three or four?
Pensioner.
Yes, thank you, AMT60.
We did bring this up last week after you brought it to our attention.
And I think that, so I don't actually monitor the chat.
When we're on the live stream, it's just too many moving parts.
But what the consensus was is that any monetary donation will be shared into our chat to read on screen.
And so the consensus was that those higher donations will definitely be read, but sometimes we can't get to all those smaller donations because you end up getting a lot of trolls.
And if you're, you know, if you make it a dollar, then people end up just trolling.
It takes up a lot of our time.
We don't get to dissect the actual news.
And so it'll be kind of picked through there to find what's most relevant and what's most conducive to the chat that we're discussing or tips or tricks or things like this.
So there will be, I guess, I don't want to say screening in place necessarily, but yeah, we've definitely considered that that is, as we've already discussed, during inflation, that's a lot to ask of people.
So give us, whatever it is that you can manage.
And then as long as it's relevant and it's not just needless trolling, we'd love to hear your thoughts and share them on air.
And then in terms of the WHO treaty, so there's the pandemic accord, I think is what they were last calling it.
They've changed the names so many times, but there's the pandemic accord and then there's the treaty itself, which the name is now eluding me.
But there's two different pieces of legislation that they're trying to institute.
And yeah, I'm concerned about it.
I'm concerned that we didn't even have any of that kind of legislation in place when pandemic hit and they were still able to sway and enforce whatever policies and procedures they wanted other countries to institute.
So I don't know how much of a huge difference that's going to make because they did it.
They did the lockdowns, the masking, the vaccine passport, so on and so forth, without having any of that legally binding infrastructure in place to begin with.
But in the same time, they tried to pass it before, but it failed.
So now they try it again.
And if it failed, believe me, they will come back again and try it again until it actually works.
Actually, I remember.
So they're making amendments to international health regulations.
And so that is actually more concerning to me.
And if you follow James Roguski, he has a sub stack and he's on all major social media.
And I think it's stopthewho.com is his website, or maybe that's ours.
But anyway, either will link back to the other because I've covered some of his reports and I featured him as a guest as well in an interview.
But the international health regulations are already in place.
They are already legally binding international health regulations that the member states, which Canada, US is a member state of the World Health Organization, they must uphold.
So there's this new pandemic treaty or the pandemic accord, whatever it's called now.
But they're also trying to amend existing international health regulations and that to James Roguski, who is the researcher on the file.
He does incredible work and he's really deep dived and continued to follow this very closely.
That is what he is most concerned about and makes sense because it's already in place.
Whereas this new treaty or accord needs to so go through whatever check and balance that these unelected bureaucrats have in place in order to do so.
So I would recommend heading over to check out some of his reports.
And I'm just going to double check here, stop the WHO or stopthetreaty.com, where you can find more.
Yeah, stopthewho.com is James Roguski's website.
So we, what we're going to do is we're going to go to a quick ad for the wellness company, and then we're going to talk about some COVID nitty-gritty and perhaps elaborate a little bit more on this WHO, the World Health Organization's attempts at undermining individual nations' sovereignty.
And so we will cut our YouTube stream, head on over to another platform, Rumble, Odyssey, or Getter.
Join us there.
But when you come back from the ad break, we will no longer be streaming on YouTube because of their censorious community standards.
So please join us on one of those other platforms to continue to hear our commentary.
Yeah, it's the best part.
You don't want to miss that.
How in the world could such a small group of people with limited resources change world history?
But in fact, that's happening.
And it's the power of the truth.
The truth is like kryptonite healthcare isn't in some sense working very well.
Foster Coulson is thinking about this.
He's got a new company, an online healthcare platform called the Wellness Company.
Telehealth company called the Wellness Company.
The Wellness Company.
The most popular product is the detoxification supplement that features natokinase.
Natokinase is the only enzyme that we're aware of right now that dissolves the spike protein.
Spike protein is loaded in the body with the COVID-19 infection and definitely with the vaccines.
We've been completely accurate on the spread of the virus, early treatment, on the deficiencies in hospital care, and now the deaths that are occurring after vaccination.
This is a human outrage and it's occurring at the end of a hypodermic needle.
Isn't it interesting?
natural substances combating this man-made disaster.
All right.
We have a couple other chats that I just want to get to before we move into the COVID nitty-gritty, as I like to call it.
We have Jetta Bercy gives $5.
Thank you very much.
Inquiry Refused00:14:50
I can't understand why.
Sorry, I can't understand that anyone would have voted for this face.
And that's Justin Trudeau.
Glad to see, I think, Justin Trudeau, I don't see if Picture accompany that, but I assume.
Glad to see the glad to see the back of him.
He would never be re-elected.
Maybe that was Omar Al Gabra when we were discussing about the transport minister announcing he wouldn't seek re-election.
But yeah, he's the Mississauga.
He mentioned in his Twitter video there, social media video, that he was the MP, the member of parliament for Mississauga.
So I guess that's where his voter base is.
Yeah, I'm happy.
Same, same.
We have Sharon Donner, 78, gives $1.
Thank you.
Am I wrong?
Doesn't Trudeau do the appointing and shuffling?
If he does, how can it be for the better?
Yes.
I think the long of the short, the short of the long is yes, but it could also be based on his advisors and his handlers.
And so if they're seeing their internal polling is not going well, then they're going to shuffle things and try to remedy those issues.
So like I mentioned, either they can become more woke or they can rein in some of these extremely radical far-left policies.
And only time will tell.
I don't have that magic ball.
In fact, you know, up until 2019, I wasn't even very politically involved.
So having some of the historical context and things like that, this is still fairly new to me.
I only became politically involved in 2019 and then more heavily in 2020 when the COVID hysteria and all the restrictions hit.
And I thought, well, how do I get my voice heard?
And I tried to engage in democratic process and do the delegations and contact my MP and my MPP and my town council and so on and so forth.
So the logistics and how things actually work both in front of the scenes, but also behind the scenes is still very much fairly new territory to me.
I think you're not the only one.
A lot of people got involved in political sphere starting in 2020, most of them.
And it's why we saw a race of voices being like yelled into the street as the protests and the truckers.
And I remember like in the past when I had some protests in Quebec, I would say the protest was mostly most, mostly violent, more violent than now.
Now I find that the people who want their voice to be heard are mostly pacific, but they are there, they are doing it, and they are doing it pretty well.
Like I would say like the protests that we saw are really peaceful considering the situation.
That's right.
Then the frustration and the frustration that falls continually on deaf ears, right?
You're supposed to be able to engage in that democratic process and have your voice heard, but that didn't happen and still arguably does not happen in many instances.
So yeah, when that frustration mounts and turns to anger, and especially as Canadians struggle to heat their homes and feed their families, that's where you see real tangible anger starting to take place with people.
So that's something that needs to be remedied quickly because when you start interfering with the family's ability to feed and clothe their children, they are going to be mad.
And I think that's starting to be what these politicians are seeing now.
But let's move into our COVID nitty-gritty because we are running out of time.
That shuffle is big news.
We spend a lot of time on it.
But in this next segment here, we have an article from CTV News.
The headline is, this is the start of preparing for the next emergency.
They're calling for an inquiry.
Where have I heard that before?
Into Canada's COVID-19 response.
So this is after a new series was published in the BMJ, that's the British Medical Journal, which called for an independent inquiry into Canada's COVID-19 response.
Experts from 13 organizations across Canada, including doctors, nurses, researchers, law, and humanitarian specialists, along with Jocelyn Clark, a Canadian who is the BMJ's international editor, wrote the seven articles published on Monday.
And I guess they see this, she says, or Dr. Sharon Strauss says that we see this as the next step in the pandemic.
She's a physician in chief at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto and is one of the senior authors of the Accountability for Canada's COVID-19 Response Series.
And the article continues on and so on and so forth.
But to which I would say, it took you three years.
Like, is it really now is the time that the mainstream media is going to finally start to highlight some of the woes of the pandemic response and the harms caused by the policies instituted indiscriminately onto the population.
And this is only, gosh, I think it's eight weeks after the National Citizens Inquiry, which was a grassroots, independent citizen-led inquiry into the COVID response.
They just toured across Canada over the course of roughly four months.
It just concluded approximately eight weeks ago.
There were four commissioners in total.
We covered it in almost every province as it took place throughout Canada.
And those four commissioners are currently working on their final report.
I don't know what the timeline is for the publication of that report, but these delegations that were heard and this inquiry spanned three to four days in every province and territory across Canada.
This was hours upon hours, hundreds of hours worth of testimony by medical professionals, everyday Canadians, people who had lost their jobs, people who had been slandered and smeared.
It was countless Canadians telling these heart-wrenching, harrowing stories of how the COVID response negatively affected them, their friends, their family, the fallout, the destruction.
And only now we have a medical journal coming forward saying that we have to do the same thing.
It's already been done.
And it found absolutely disgusting incidences, instances, and evidences of harm caused by the bureaucracy who said, oh, just one life is too many, right?
That was the whole narrative at the beginning of the COVID hysteria.
If we can prevent just one life, one life is too many to lose.
And so if you go to our website there, we have a National Citizens Inquiry tag that you can search, and you can find all of our reports on the National Citizens Inquiry, the individuals who we featured as individual stories and their own anecdotal evidence.
And of course, as the commissioners come out with their final report, we'll be doing a follow-up as well.
And they keep saying, like, one life, it's already too much.
But what about, I'm sorry to say that, but what about the people who are now dying and been refused treatment because you blocked them to have access to it?
You cover like a father just passed away, a father of five because he's been refused the treatment because he was not vaccinated.
But do that, is life is counting?
Do is life actually like important?
Yes, it is.
And why is life not already too much?
Well, that's the next article that we have here.
This was by our head of production, Efron Montinto, just wrote this up.
But it's basically a call from former MPP Randy Hillier on Canadians to boycott organ and blood donation following the news of Garnett Harper, whose wife just joined me for an interview.
So we'll have that out in a couple of days.
I wanted to reach out to some of the individuals involved in denying him his organ transplant and give them a chance to respond and add their comments.
So I'm just waiting on some responses there before I feature the report.
But this father of five, young 30-year-old man, desperately needed a kidney transplant.
And he was removed.
He wasn't even referred onto the transplant list because he wouldn't be COVID-19 vaccinated.
And ultimately, he died as a result of the harmful and discriminatory policies that persist today around the COVID hysteria and the COVID narrative for an injection that never stopped transmission, has questionable efficacy if it's efficacious at all, and comes with a serious risk profile.
There are serious risks documented, the data shows it, and uncertainties, right?
This hasn't been proven safe or effective as we've been led to believe by the pharma marketers who want to sell their product because that's how they make money.
So this is very tragic and unnecessary.
Tragic, unnecessary, and an untimely preventable death.
When, yeah, as we've mentioned, we were sold the COVID narrative on, well, just one life is too many.
And if we could save just one person, well, here we have people still dying, and these policies persist indiscriminately with no accountability.
No, they are not.
And when I look at, we have someone in Montreal, Joanie Duprid, I'm covering since 2021.
She had COVID twice.
She was eight on the donor list.
She was waiting for her place in October 2021 when she's been removed because she was not vaccinated.
And now it's been at most like now two years and her condition is really at the worst.
But at the beginning, she was perfectly the perfect candidate.
She was like in good shape.
She was like, she had no health issues, just cystic fibrosis.
So she had like to remove and to change the lung.
But she failed.
She felt her.
She's actually going to die if like the situation is not being changed.
And I, and this is happening in Montreal here, where I am living.
And I cannot believe that the doctor doesn't see that as I don't want to say it online, but like as most the letter M.
No, but it's true.
Well, and whatever happened to freedom of medical choice and whatever happened to bodily autonomy, these are things that Canadians thought that they had as a constitutional right, as a basic right and freedom, and are learning more and more.
And as we see, like is as is the case with Garnet Harper, who truly paid the ultimate sacrifice for upholding his medical choice.
And this is tragic and unnecessary.
And we have the Ontario pastor Hildebrand, who defied the COVID restrictions placed on religious gatherings and specifically his church.
You know, as he said, like you could go to Walmart and gather, you could go to Costco and gather, but you couldn't come to church and preach and sing and gather.
And so at that point, he decided to refuse to comply with the COVID mandates and he's seen the fallout of that.
But he has just posted a clip where he calls on similarly, as similar to Randy Hillier, to boycott organ transplant and the organ donation until this is fixed.
I'm Pastor Henry Hildebrand.
I'm spending a few days in the beautiful area of Sudbury.
Ran across some local news here.
It says, Sudbury man refused kidney transplant due to vaccination status, dies.
Garnett Harper, 35, leaves behind a wife and five children.
He was refused a kidney transplant due to what?
Vaccination status?
What's next?
Religious status?
Would the next title read Sudbury Man Refused Kidney Transplant Due to Him Being a Christian?
This reminds me a lot of a man in the 1930s who discriminated against easily identifiable groups.
Remember?
Is that where we want to go?
We have another person, I believe she's in Alberta.
Sheila Lewis, dying because she needs a organ transplant.
Are you an organ donor?
You might want to seriously consider putting it on hold until we can get a policy in place by our government that will guarantee zero discrimination.
Sheila is scrambling trying to get to the U.S. so she can get an organ transplant.
This is ridiculous.
This friend of mine, Garnett Harper, was fighting for his life and he stood up for our God-given freedom and left behind his wife and five children.
What will it take?
French Media Underpressure00:05:50
Do we really want to go the way of the 1930s?
I don't think so.
Let this be a wake-up call.
God help us.
He's right.
It's actually, it's medical discrimination.
Like everybody is offering their organ to whoever needs it, but they are deciding to discriminate some people against others.
As someone who has five children, I can completely empathize with Garnet's wife, Megan, that the fact that this is a needless, a senseless, and entirely preventable death just adds insult to the injury and the holes in their hearts that his family suffers without their father and their husband.
This is just grotesque and unimaginable.
I never thought that we would live in a country where something like this was possible, when there are people who are willing, able, and capable of providing a donation to someone like that, who has a robust entire life ahead of them if they just could get that kidney transplant.
And then they were denied arbitrarily based on a policy that appears to not have been relayed or enforced the way that it was intended.
And again, I'll have a full report on that as I dig a little bit into some of the wording of the policy and reach out to some of the individuals involved for refusing to send on Garnet's referral.
So please stay tuned.
Actually, you can follow along on our website, organsnotcoercion.com.
Right now, that website is specific to, as Pastor Hildebrand, you heard him mention, Sheila Annette Lewis in Alberta, who has worked tirelessly to secure an organ donation, an organ transplant for herself.
So, we are actually going to be kind of broadening the campaign at organsnotcoercion.com to include these other instances of injustice.
As you've mentioned, Alexa with Joanne, as Garnett Harper's wife continues his legacy and his advocacy work to end this discriminatory practice.
And really, it's medical apartheid.
And we've seen that all throughout 2021 and continuing largely unabated today.
So, we will be broadening that campaign and we'll be relaunching it and also including Garnett Harper Megan's interview as well on that website.
So, stay tuned at organsnotcoercion.com.
And we have a nice comment here, or I should say, a relevant comment from Snowy Roof, who gives $5.
They say the MSM, so mainstream media, is starting to realize if there is an election, they will be losing their government gravy train.
So, they should start doing some responsible reporting.
You know, this is a good point, something I didn't really consider: that if all of these ducks are getting into a row for there to be an election, as we see Trudeau, questionably on the campaign trail, shuffling his cabinet, confidence in our government is low, Canadians are struggling, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
If there is an election, yeah, absolutely.
The mainstream media, Pierre Polyev, he's vowed to defund the CBC and cut them off from that taxpayer gravy train.
So, yeah, they better start trying to do some damage control here and actually report on news and news gathering instead of just propagandizing whatever the government flavor of the day is, which is what they've been doing for the better part of three years.
And I mean, arguably even prior to that, but definitely has become very much evident the last three years.
But Kier Polyev says that he would not defund the French CBC.
That sits a little bit like sad, but because they say that there is not enough French media outlet, I think.
But I will have, I think I will want to see if he's defunding the English side, he should defund also like the French side.
That's my personal opinion.
Yeah, and I don't, I didn't, I didn't hear that specifically.
And it's unfortunate that I am not bilingual.
So I have to rely on you, Alex, for that side of things.
It's true that we don't have as much outlet as you have in the English side, because not only you have like the English from the US and everywhere around the world, but we have only us and most of French Canadians that doesn't speak English rely on the French media.
Well, that's why your job there in Quebec is so important as our Quebec reporter and correspondent to give Canadians not only who don't speak French to that other side, but also for the exclusively French-speaking Canadians more of the news from all across the country that they wouldn't otherwise find from their mainstream media.
So I think unless do we have any more last-minute chats that have come in?
We're just three minutes past the hour.
And we have, I think, a quick chat from our friend in Hamilton, Frasier McBurney.
I don't see it showing up here.
Usually Frasier has his caps lock, all caps.
Book Tour Signings00:03:04
Yeah, it is.
So it's hard to miss his chats, but I'm not seeing it here.
I read it.
Okay.
He gives $5.
Thanks, Frasier.
The liberals tried to make a high-speed rail from Montreal to Toronto in the early 70s.
It broke down every day.
I know I got many free scotches.
It was fun.
Thanks for that context.
I think that lends into where we started at the beginning of this live stream, right?
Is that you never know what you're going to really get, how well it's going to work, and how much it's going to cost at the end of the day with the liberal government.
You're just, it's kind of a shot in the dark.
And they come up with these policies and these impositions using taxpayer dollars because there's no accountability or transparency, which is funny because they campaign on those pillars of their platform.
But because there isn't actually any transparency or accountability, they get away with these failures unabated.
And then they'll do a cabinet shuffle and hope for the best and that everybody will just forget.
And because the news cycle moves so quickly and there's no accountability from the media who are supposed to speak truth to power, they get away with these actions unabated.
And by the way, you don't take the train from Quebec to Toronto to save time.
Yes, it's really comfortable, but time is longer than if you drive there.
Another failure.
I know.
I know.
I take it like pretty often.
Well, just as we wrap up things here, we're going to show you an ad for Tamara Leach's latest book, Hold the Line.
And it's her personal story as part of the Freedom Convoy.
And she will be going on a book tour.
And so, if you're interested in A, ordering the book, or B, getting into one of her events coming up this coming week and into next week as well, you can go to theconvoybook.com.
And there you can see at the top of the page, there's media contact, legal fees, book tour, and buy the book.
So if you head on over to that book tour site, you can see where Tamara and some of your favorite rebels will also be over the next week or so.
And hopefully, come in, come out and join us in person at some of these launches and book signing events.
Excuse me.
That's at theconvoybook.com.
And tickets, for instance, this coming Thursday.
Whoops, I clicked away here.
This coming Thursday in Barrie at 10 a.m., there's a book signing.
The tickets are $5.
So I think that this is if you're in the area, you have an extra $5, come on out, meet some of us, meet Tamara, get your book signed.
And just it's always nice to meet some rebels in the wild.
So we'll end on that point.
Thanks to the Team00:00:41
Thanks to everybody behind the scenes who makes this daily stream possible, from our producers, Olivia and Efron, to all of the people who make the thumbnails, write the copy for the page, share it on social media.
Thank you to you, Alexa, for joining me.
And thanks to David for reneging his spot this for the next few days as he's sent out on missions and our studio gets the necessary upgrades it needs to be on par to host everyone every day throughout the week same time from 1 to 2 p.m. Eastern.
And thank you, Tamara, for being such a great communicator.
