DAILY Roundup | Alberta's energy approach, Supreme Court rejects church case, BestBuy discrimination

DAILY Roundup examines Alberta’s clash with federal net-zero mandates, where Premier Danielle Smith calls 2035 targets unconstitutional and proposes a 2050 deadline, citing $1.7T economic risks and grid reliability concerns. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court rejects BC churches’ COVID-19 appeal, ignoring religious freedoms despite Alberta’s recent rulings. A lenient sentence for Cameron Moses Wright—$1,400 surcharges after vandalizing seven churches—fuels accusations of anti-Christian judicial bias, while West Edmonton Mall faces criticism over delayed security after four sexual assaults since June 2023. Best Buy’s alleged exclusion of white applicants and banning of Christian symbols in stores highlights perceived corporate "woke" double standards. The episode ties these cases to broader trends: government overreach, judicial inconsistency, and cultural clashes over faith, gender, and accountability. [Automatically generated summary]

Alberta's Affordable Energy Shift 00:14:36
Well, hello, everybody, and welcome to the Rebel News Daily Roundup.
Very happy to be joined by my co-host for today, Monami from La Franco Fonie.
Alexa Lavoisier.
Alexa, how are you doing?
I'm pretty good.
And you?
Oh, wonderful.
Good, good.
Lots to get to today.
Before we get into that, though, I'm going to go through some of the nuts and bolts of the show, and then we'll start chatting about the stories of the day.
First off, if you're joining us, you're probably watching on Rumble, Odyssey, Getter, or potentially even YouTube.
That's great.
Wherever you're joining us, we are so happy to have you.
I would just consider asking you, as I do every week, switching over to one of those great, great providers that allows you to watch a show without censorship, without fear or concern, a neutral platform that doesn't have their politics weigh into the thing.
And instead, just gives us an opportunity to chat with you.
Rumble is absolutely great for that.
The other nice thing with Rumble is there's something called Rumble Chats for a couple bucks.
You can post a chat and then we'll actually interact with it throughout the show on like the mainstream media, like I say, every week, who only really listens to their bosses in the government on whom they rely for payouts.
Well, we instead count on our viewers to support us.
So you're helping us keep the lights on and we're getting to engage with you, have that feedback.
We love it.
You can also support us by joining us on locals.com.
You'll get access to all of our usual content.
But in addition to that, you're also going to get some exclusive content not available anywhere else.
So that's on locals.com.
Without further ado, we'll now get into some of the stories of the day.
And we're going to start off with some energy stories, particularly the mounting royal rumble between Danielle Smith and Justin Trudeau.
I'm sure you're probably been hearing about this out in Quebec, out east.
But yeah, this provincial government really seems to be sticking to their guns.
Even some of the more sort of laid-back collaborative politicians are starting to get a little bit spicy.
We've got a clip about that in just one second.
But first off, let's just show this tweet of Danielle Smith here saying the federal government's new regulations on electricity will increase your utility bills and basically every other good and service.
The proposed mandate is unconstitutional.
We will not let Albertans suffer by implementing this policy.
Now, Alexia, I wanted to pick your brain on this because Quebec has a great tradition of telling the federal government to go fly a kite.
What's it like seeing another province doing it now so firmly and repeatedly?
I would say that for Quebec, it's completely the opposite.
And I'm really sad because for a while, you know, Quebec was always like, oh, we are doing our own thing.
We don't care about what you are proposing to us.
You know, we always wanted to do everything differently.
But it seems that in Quebec right now, we are following everything that they ask for us.
So and it's mostly why Quebec have banned the extraction of our natural resources because they want to reduce the gas and also like they want to reach net zero.
But in the same time, that would be so bad for us.
First of all, for our wealthy, like we are actually stopping for making money.
And also, this will have been like pretty good for other countries or other province to get our natural resources.
We know that we have like natural gas in Quebec and we have a lot of this, but they stop everybody who tried to extract it.
And it would be the same for like so many others thing.
They are focusing on wind energy or electricity energy, but we'll get to it afterwards.
But now they are talking about nuclear energy.
Well, you know, and I find that so fascinating.
It's like almost like all the people who moved from Quebec to Alberta for energy jobs brought some of that spirit of freedom with them.
And now it's alive and well here.
Yeah, for a long time, we even saw throughout COVID Jason Kenny.
It's a very similar situation.
And we're going to play a clip here in a moment.
But Jason Kenny effectively said, We're not doing any of these restrictions.
And then the government said, Oh, well, we're actually not going to allow you to access billions of dollars in sort of benefits and innovative things if you don't agree to bringing in some version of this.
And then Jason Kenny folded.
Now, the federal government seems to be doing something similar here where they're saying, if you're not willing to agree to 2035, listen, Danielle Smith has agreed to a 2050 deadline and says that that's practical and something we can do.
I honestly think Alberta's, not that I care particularly, but I think Alberta is going to be net zero before anywhere else because I just think we do things better and we tend to succeed them, even if they're things I don't really care about.
But listen, like they're not playing ball at all.
They came to the table and said, no, well, we don't think we can do this.
We're going to do this.
And they're like, okay, you don't get access to any of this.
The other thing, too, is the billions of dollars in sort of energy investments that the government's made available if you agree to this 2035 stuff.
That stuff matters and it can help, but it doesn't offset the, I think it's estimated $1.7 trillion that are in place that come from these other industries that would be attacked.
So it's kind of like catch-22.
You're losing either way.
But this government is not engaging in good faith negotiations.
They probably know they're on their last leg and that's why they're going after people.
But a local Calgary MP addressed us very sort of competently and thoroughly.
So I think we can jump to that clip now, also shared by Danielle Smith.
But this is of the always friendly Rebecca Schultz, maybe not being quite so friendly with the federal government.
Earlier today, the federal government released the draft clean electricity regulations.
We will be doing detailed analysis in the months ahead.
However, one thing is clear: the draft regulations are unconstitutional, irresponsible, unrealistic, and would make life less affordable for Albertans and Canadians.
They will not be implemented in our province, period.
They can't.
We are beginning our talks with the federal government, and if we can't get alignment, Alberta will chart its own path to ensure we have reliable and affordable electricity for the people we serve.
This means making sure we have adequate natural gas baseload and incentivizing CCUS abated natural gas generation, small modular reactors, hydrogen, and a sustainable amount of wind, solar, and other renewables to drive down electricity costs.
We need to be realistic.
The world is going to need a lot more electricity.
Estimates indicate the power demand could double between now and 2050, and Canada's generation capacity will need to be up to three times larger than it is right now.
Instead, we've seen the federal government put ideology before common sense, affordability, and reliability once again.
What was released today is a bait and switch, pretending to allow natural gas to continue while creating conditions where plants are forced to power down.
In the dead of winter or the middle of summer, Albertans need natural gas to keep our grid running, keep families from freezing, to turn the lights on, to run air conditioning and businesses operating.
Can you imagine being a parent of young children having to ration power and not being able to turn on your light switches in the middle of the night in the middle of winter?
We can achieve our environmental goals in a much more realistic way that doesn't jeopardize jobs, our economy, or put Albertans at risk.
Yeah, it's wild.
Yeah, oh, yeah, absolutely.
And it's so like there's nothing there you can really disagree with.
Especially, you know, we're living in a time where the only thing a government should be talking about is making things more affordable.
This government has made life virtually unaffordable.
And for everyone, like well-to-do people are struggling.
And by well-to-I mean, people who are making an amount that, say, 10 years ago, you would have been very comfortably paying a mortgage and maybe going on a trip once a year abroad.
That same amount of money in just eight years of Trudeau means you're barely, barely getting by.
It's extremely troubling.
And for this government now to not only be doing things that are going to make things more expensive, but also bringing things to the point.
The technology is not ready.
We not only will not be able to afford energy, but those folks who can afford energy, because of technological limitations and these new restrictions and this ideological push for 2035, there may not be power to turn on, even if you can pay for it.
It is absolutely unsettling that this is the focus of this government.
And I'm so happy that we at least hear of a provincial government that is pushing back, but who knows?
Like this, this federal government, they're so ideologically married to this.
I don't know if they're going to, I don't know how much they're going to let this slide.
I am going to read through this one more post from Premier Danielle Smith on the matter.
And we'll move on to some Quebec news as well.
But I think getting through this similar sentiment, but they're putting this out on all accounts and making clear to this government that this is not going to fly.
So Danielle Smith says the draft federal 2035 net zero power grid regulations are unconstitutional, irresponsible, and do not align with Alberta's emissions reduction and energy development plan that works towards carbon-neutral power grid by 2050.
These regulations make desperately needed investments in the new natural gas generation almost impossible.
If implemented in Alberta, these regulations would endanger the reliability of Alberta's power grid and cause massive increases in Alberta's power bills.
Albertans government will protect Albertans from these unconstitutional federal net zero regulations.
They will not be implemented in our province.
Period.
Good to hear that again.
One of the only positives at this point is that these are draft regulations.
Alberta is about to commence working groups with the federal government to discuss how to bring Ottawa's efforts to decarbonize the economy in line with Alberta's emissions reductions and energy development plans.
I love that.
Just the confidence to say we'll bring them in line with some more realistic standards.
It's great.
If this alignment is not achieved, Alberta will chart its own path to ensuring we have additional reliable and affordable electricity brought onto our power grid that is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
This will be accomplished by ensuring an appropriate amount of high-efficiency natural gas baseload is added to the grid while incentivizing carbon capture, utilizing storage, CUS-abated natural gas generation, small modular reactors, hydrogen generation, and sustainable amounts of wind, solar, and other renewables to drive down electricity costs.
Albertans and our government care deeply about responsible environmental stewardship.
We are confident in Alberta's plan to get us to a reliable and affordable carbon-neutral power grid by 2050.
This is the direction Alberta is going.
We invite the federal government to support us rather than hinder us in doing so.
I love that.
Just the confidence of we're going to set the grid straight.
And you know, the thing that drives me wild is, and I don't know what your reaction is on this, Alexa, but the recent very sensible moves to pause solar and wind projects until there's a plan in place.
For folks who don't understand, this government doesn't want to do this.
And they understand that some jobs might be affected by this.
But there's a whole bunch of controversies among the very progressives who are upset about this pause.
They don't want the federal government involved in the costs to clean up and sort of restore the areas affected by far less, I'd say, but affected by drilling and oil and things like that.
So the government says, well, hold on a second.
Don't have a plan to restore the places that we're tearing up right now and covering with solar farms or the wind turbine.
So we need to have a plan for this.
Furthermore, the electricity coming from those things can be produced in mass volumes.
But then, if it's not windy and it's not sunny, they can barely contribute anything.
It's very much in flux.
So you don't have a reliable energy source, particularly in troubling seasons.
If it's winter and there's no wind and it's very cloudy, you're not getting power from that.
And there are four provinces within this country that still get 30 to 85 percent of their power from coal.
So if you stop all of that and then you're switching to something that can be going at 100% efficiency or 1% efficiency, that's when you get browning roll rolling brownouts.
That's when you can't plug in your Tesla to charge it, like in California.
It's absolutely destructive and it simply doesn't work in Alberta.
What's sort of been your reaction when you first heard, oh, they're stopping a bunch of projects and pausing a bunch of product projects?
What was your reaction, Alexa?
But first of all, why posing something now when we know that we will face a lack of energy soon?
So you don't pause, you just like reflect on, okay, what can be added to it to produce more energy?
Like, I don't see the point behind posing anything for now, especially you say it, like when energy or solar energy is not reliable.
And especially like when we look at our summer, just that we had this year was just like raining, raining, raining, a lot of cloud.
And there were like no possibility to get like that much energy from the solar.
I want to get back on one fact.
In this story, we always had like some goal to achieve.
And it always changed like the date of the gold date.
So sometimes it was like, I don't remember like the other one, but it's why we had the COP.
We had like recently the COP15, who is the conference of the party to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, but they also talk about climate change.
And we have also like climate change submit.
But it's just recently when we had the sustainable goal that appeared in 2015 that we see that there is a really big push for the government to really make the change, but drastically.
And we know that in 2035, it's not a realistic goal point because this is too soon, this is too close from us.
And we know that when we do things drastically, most of the time there is like big consequences, as I say, like economic consequences, but also like, do we want to face a winter without power or power outage?
Why Not Nuclear? 00:06:53
We don't want that, especially here in Quebec and probably in Alberta.
I know that you have like cold winter also.
So think is why we are not like trying to just make the extraction more clean and just continue with what we are doing right now that it seems to work.
And why we don't extract what we have as a resource?
It's free.
It's under the ground.
We extract it in the clean matters.
And after that, we provide not only Canada and make wealthy Canada and just export it to other countries who are in need.
That's it.
Well, and it's actually the ethical thing to do is to export clean.
And I mean, there's multiple considerations here.
Energy can be cleaner, but you also have to consider sort of the human rights angle.
And we have the most ethical oil both and energy environmentally, but we also have it as far as human rights.
So, both of those factors need to be considered.
And the thing here with this pause from the government, it's so that they can do it more ethically because there's tons of scrutiny on oil industries.
But what we have right now is there's sort of a boom, there's lots of grants, and they're just rushing forward with solar projects.
But you're going to have solar power and wind power going to a grid that can't store it.
And then effectively, it's going to waste.
And then there's no plan for reclamation of the land once the project is done.
So I think the minor pause, I'm okay with it.
I don't think we should be pausing the known, valid, sort of proven technologies that work, like oil, gas, hydro in Quebec, whatever it may be.
But pausing something unknown that's relatively new and doesn't provide consistent power, I don't have a problem with it because it's funny, they're actually doing the reasonable environmental thing.
Environmentalists should be happy saying, oh, we're pausing this for a moment to say, oh, what's our plan to reclaim the soil?
Well, the progressives who are angry about this, the environmentalists who are angry about this, they're really showing their cards.
They're effectively saying, well, we don't actually care about environmental sustainability.
We have a bunch of friends in the eco-energy sectors.
That's what their outrage says to me.
They're mad that these projects are being paused, and their friends who own these companies aren't making their wealth and they have to hold off for a couple months.
So, but speaking of another relatively despite people often think with the nuclear reactors that it's extremely unsafe, well, other than a couple instances and on very old reactors, nuclear tends to be very, very effective, very safe, particularly in a place like Canada, where there are massive swaths of land that are effectively empty and isolated.
You could have a bunch of reactors tucked away safely.
But I'll ask you to comment on this.
My page just switched to French, which is fine, but effectively, Hydro-Québec is studying the possibility of reactivating a nuclear reactor, Gentile II.
What have you?
I mean, I'm like, okay, cool, good, go for it.
What is sort of the reaction amongst Quebecers to this?
Is there an abstract opposition to nuclear power?
But this is a bit brought on the table since we changed the PDG of the Hydro-Québec on the 1st of August.
Now it's Michael Sabia that is the main person in charge.
And he brought back this possibility to reactivate Genti2 that is a nuclear central in Quebec.
By the way, we have five of them in Canada, three in Ontario.
And I think we have one in, I think it's, is it New Brunswick?
I don't remember.
Anyway, so we already have that.
But us, Gente 2 was closed about 10 years ago after what happened in Japan with one of the nuclear central where now they still like clean the area and everything.
And it was supposed to be closed forever.
That's what Martin Weulet, who was the minister in charge at that time, said that she received as a mail from Idro Quebec that there was no possibility to reopen it.
It was closed forever.
But Martin Weulette, that now she's the leader of Tima Quebec, it's a new party in Quebec.
She's now really against the fact to reopen this opportunity to use the nuclear.
But the thing is, the nuclear is really clean, it's reliable, it's sustainable.
And of course, like if you don't use it properly and if like the central is not well built, it can have like some danger.
At the end of the day, we have the infrastructure, we have the technology to make it safer and to have like a clean energy.
And I don't know why we didn't think about this before.
But I would say that with everything that happened, like in the ISORI, with the nuclear, I would say that a lot of people are afraid to use that source of energy.
Yeah.
Well, in many of those cases, too, like for example, in Chernobyl, there was like the amount of, first of all, most of the reactors that have had catastrophic failures, even with natural disasters that shouldn't have, like in Japan, but they're from the 60s and 70s.
They're very much archaic, Chernobyl, particularly.
And there is also extreme questions about the competence of people running them.
Now, I don't have too much faith in the confidence of the federal government, which we'll talk about with some stories shortly.
But there is like, it's talking about like the early airplanes versus modern airliners.
The safety metrics are non-comparable.
And then the capacity to shut down flood chambers and address meltdowns has infinitely improved.
So you're talking about very archaic technology that wasn't being monitored or cared for properly.
I mean, this is the funny thing is environmentalists, like it's like, oh, well, we'll do hydro.
That's reliable.
And I'm talking hydro as the rest of the country sort of talks about it, not Ontario and Quebec, but like a dam for electricity.
That's, but oh no, that's going to flood stuff.
So we don't want that nuclear.
Oh, no, Chernobyl way back.
It's like the only actual effective means for safely and renewably generating power.
They're opposed to them.
So it's like you can't win another catch-22.
Speaking of catch-22.
And by the way, I would trust more like a plane that is on nuclear energy that if it's a battery energy, because I don't trust battery at all, like especially when it's cold or in like harsh environment, the battery have a tendency to lose like the power pretty quick.
So I would say, yeah, I'm way for the nuclear energy if I take a plane.
Vpn And Human Trafficking 00:14:44
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Awesome.
So guys, I did want to just talk about something really quickly.
We've got some crime stories coming up here very soon.
But before we get to that, I'm just going to read a quick little important message.
And this is from one of our very important sponsors.
But if you're having trouble accessing our content, if you're one of the people like me who has to use a VPN just to access my own Instagram account and sort of engage with news stories, well, listen up closely here.
We are facing an imminent threat, a planned blackout of all news content in Canada.
It's coming to Facebook, Instagram, and threatening to silence rebel news and those who depend on us for the other side of the story.
The cause?
Trudeau's new censorship law, Bill C18, which demands social media companies pay news outlets for the news stories their users share on the platform.
It's a shakedown in a desperate attempt to keep the mainstream media afloat.
It seems the billions in taxpayer subsidies just aren't enough to keep the country's propagandists in business.
But Meta, Facebook's parents company, has chosen to block Canadian news content rather than comply, Rebel News included.
Many have already lost their ability to access our Facebook and Instagram pages.
The blackout will soon affect every user in Canada.
But fear not, we have a plan to protect your access to our news content.
We've partnered with Private Internet Access, PIA, a VPN provider dedicated to safeguarding digital privacy.
For just $2 a month, you can maintain your access to our content across all your devices.
And unlike other VPN providers, PIA does not store any user data and it's automatically deleted from the servers to avoid leaks and government subpoenas for information.
Their servers are located in all 50 states, not communist China.
Visit piavpn.com slash rebelnews and enjoy an exclusive 83% discount and four months free.
Use it to bypass regional restrictions, stream your favorite shows from anywhere in the world, and stick it to Trudeau's new censorship law.
Safeguard freedom of speech and join us to combat Trudeau's censorship today at Pia VPN, PIAVPN.com slash rebel news.
And I'm very happy to personally endorse this product.
I'm not going to lie to you guys, I've been using this specific PIVPN for years, absolutely for years, because when I was looking into this, they do their clear servers just like that.
There are some other places and some places have caved to government pressure where they'll hold on to some of the encrypted data.
These guys burn it off as fast as they can.
So within minutes, there's zero sort of record of that transcription.
And it works so effectively.
I've got a really easy app.
I hit a button.
Right now, if I go onto my Instagram and I'm not on a VPN, all of my news stories are gone.
If I'm collaborating with Rebel News on a story, it's gone.
I hit that VPN button just like that, an easy install on my app.
I've got full access.
I can operate things just like before.
So it's great to be partnered with these guys, get that great discount.
You're not going to get a better price on a VPN.
And they are very solid.
So yeah, strongly, happily endorsing them.
I would say like it's pretty cheap for a VPN because I was like a big traveler and I was using mostly VPN when I was away because sometimes I wanted to watch stuff that it was only exclusive to US or Canada.
So I think VPN is the future, especially with like the time that we live in, the censorship and everything.
And we know that we are all for freedom, but I think now the future, it's the VPN will offer us the freedom that we want.
Yeah, for sure.
And for folks out there, if you're a little bit older, maybe not too tech savvy, it is so easy.
It's like a giant.
In fact, I'll show you right now just how easy it is.
I'll prove to you that I really have VPN.
You get an app just like that.
I hope you can see that.
Oh no, it's too washed out, but you get an app.
There's a giant, there's a giant power button in the middle, and you literally just press it and it goes green and you're on VPN just like that.
It is so easy.
There's no real tech requirement.
I know sometimes people hear VPN.
It sounds complicated, scary.
It's not whatsoever.
And then you can pick which country it's routing through super easy.
It's great.
Yeah, but check it out if you get an opportunity there.
Moving on, some news stories, which you may only be able to access if you have a VPN set up.
It's great.
We just had the really strong sort of column from Rick Bell in the Calgary Sun on Dan Williams and his strong stance against the safe supply madness and how the government is not going to be giving people drugs, but instead they're going to be helping people recover.
And now Alberta's top lawman vows a hardline crackdown in the war on crime.
Mickey Amory, who is always available for interviews, he's happy to speak to us whenever, which is greatly appreciated.
UCP member in the legislature from East Calgary and now Alberta's justice minister says he will not back away from where he stands if and when Naysayers slam his two law and order too clit Eastwood too hard I won't say it approach if you want to call me a hard call me a says Amory I'm censoring the word in case There's kids in the room for you guys, but says Amory.
This sounds so much like what Dan Williams was saying, and I absolutely love it.
My role is to protect law-abiding citizens, and that is exactly what I will do.
There's no reason why I should shy away from this position.
On this day, Amory reads the Riot Act to the baddest of bad actors, the repeat violent offenders, the ones always hanging out on the criminal side of the street, creating fear and causing harm among law-abiding citizens, and often treated with kid gloves by the courts who lost their way long ago.
Hidden plain sight in his marching orders from the premier is a job to set up a special prosecution to address deteriorating safety in Alberta's major urban centers.
Criminal organizations and repeat offenders are simply put on notice.
The position of the Alberta government is absolutely clear: there's no safe haven in Alberta for criminals.
They are not welcome here.
These criminals will be held accountable.
It's incredible.
I'm so happy to see this.
You can read the article at length.
Obviously, Rick Bell is always great when he weighs in.
I also spoke with Danielle Smith recently.
If you haven't checked out the interview, do we talk about human trafficking?
She talks about sound of freedom.
This government is also establishing a specific task force, and she flat out said that the federal government, the federal police, are not doing enough.
So they're tackling human trafficking.
They've invested $4 million.
So we have a justice minister who's getting hard on crime.
They're not going to have this perpetual cycle of repeat offenders.
People are going to be punished.
Law-abiding citizens will be protected.
They're tackling human trafficking.
And when I asked Danielle Smith if she has a message for folks, do check out this interview.
It's pretty awesome.
If she has a message for people in Alberta who are engaged in or benefiting from human trafficking, she just said point blank, not here.
This is sanity in government that we haven't seen in so long whatsoever.
How cowboy attitude is this for you, Alexa?
But I would say that I find that pretty awesome, especially when I looked at its release in Alberta and you have like one of the best government, one of the best people in charge of that province.
But if I will have heard this in Quebec, I will have been worried.
Why?
First of all, because in Quebec, we know that we have a political police.
We know that the politic is really infiltrated, I would say, in the justice.
It looks like sometimes, because if we heard like, oh, we'll put like more harsh to law-abiding citizens.
But okay, but if, and this is a part I was reading, it's like for the citizen who follow the rules, we will protect them.
But which kind of rules is it like the insanity rules that we saw during the pandemic period?
Like, because this time was like, I'm afraid if you put more harsh measures against them for like and justify rules that was not making any sense, that afraid me a little bit.
It's why I say, like, in Quebec, if I will have heard that, I will have been worried for the future.
But because I heard that from coming from Alberta, when they have a balance and the reflection, if the rules in place are justified, I see that Alberta is actually the future and it's actually one of the most healthy place to live right now.
Yeah.
Well, and I think what you said there is so important, and we have to keep it in mind: journalists.
I had no problem whatsoever.
In fact, I was frankly probably a little bit excited when Jason Kenney united the UCP.
I thought this was going to be a bright new era, but make no mistake, we don't see this with rose-colored glasses.
If suddenly they turn these task forces into tools of political isolation or they're overreaching and they're violating the rules, we're absolutely going to be there and we're going to hammer them just like we did the Kenny government because that's our job.
But I mean, I think for now at least, given that all of these people are available, they're willing to answer questions.
The emphasis seems to be on getting drugs off the streets, stopping human trafficking.
Unlike the federal government, where everything they seem to do is political control, this seems to be far more of a return towards sort of common sense law.
So I think you're right there.
But for folks out there, make no mistake.
We're not, if things turn here suddenly and these extra powers are being used for negative purposes, make no mistake.
We're going to call them out on it.
And I do want to touch on something here.
Obviously, this court case precedes some of the factors sort of rolling in here precede some of the government changes that have occurred, the new cabinet and everything.
But there's also a question of will this actually be put into place?
Because Daniel Smith can say, oh, the wait times for getting blood drawn are too long, but what's going to be done about it?
Daniel Smith can say, We're going to fight human trafficking.
We need to see, this is Sonia, we need to see actual results starting to unfold.
And I can take what she says at face value because this is a new government, but we will, at a certain point, start demanding results and looking for outcomes.
So make no mistake.
And one of the stories I want to touch on here, which is not a hard-on-crime response, in my opinion, I think it's a little problematic.
Some of the details are unclear, but I do want to go through this article coming out of Red Deering News Now, Pinoka County teen, young adult now, they say teen, 18, I guess, sentence and church vandalisms.
A young man from Pinoka County, charged in relation to the vandalism of multiple central Alberta churches this year, has been given a two-year conditional sentence order, followed by six months of probation.
Cameron Moses Wright, 18, was convicted on seven counts of mischief, damage under 5,000 in Stettler courts on a court of justice on August 8th, 2023.
Was also ordered to pay a total of $1,400 in surcharges due by January 31st, 2024.
RCMP says it was February 13th, 2023, when members from Bashaw detachment received a report of St. Michael's Catholic and Hungarian church that had been burnt down that evening when RCMP arrived.
It was a total loss.
Now, I don't know if it seems like they're saying that he was also responsible for this fire, which would seem to me more than damage less than 5,000.
So I'm trying to grasp this here, but make no mistake about it.
There are seven counts of vandalism and potentially even one case of a church being burnt down associated with this individual.
And he's been given a two-year conditional sentence order followed by six months of probation.
Now, these were all hate crimes directed against a faith community.
That's wild.
And if he literally burnt down a church, how this person has less than, I mean, maybe he was a minor at the time and there's some factors.
But regardless, the fact that this is a two-year sentence for if you vandalized a single mosque, I guarantee you'd be in jail.
But you can burn down potentially and destroy seven, vandalize seven churches, and you get a tiny little pittance of a condition like this.
I think this is insane.
And I hope that there's some sort of oversight here, but there is the underlying issue, whether it be the courts, whether it be Alberta Health Services, whatever it is, there is this sort of underlying political wokeism that Daniel Smith is going to have to fight a lot to combat.
Does this seem just nuts to you?
Yes, because when we see, I have the impression that the woke actually doesn't like the Christian religion because it seems like if something happened, if it's Christian religion, oh, it's okay.
It's not that bad.
It's not like a big deal.
But if that little is a teenager, if he did that to the LGBTQ community, I'm thinking that we'll have like a way bigger, harsh sentence than just two years.
I think that it's just insane, the double standard that we have today because Canada have always been like Christian, like the first religion to be in Canada.
And it seems that now we just forget that this is our history.
This is our background.
And we should like say if you don't, you don't, you're not Christian or you don't approve with that religion.
That doesn't change the fact that this is our background.
It's our culture.
So we cannot just like pretend that it's just like nothing and we just like swap that by the hand and just make it okay.
It's not a big deal.
It's just like Christian.
Yeah.
Now it'll be interesting to see.
There is a note that another young offender was charged in a string of incidents and faces arson mischief break and enter charges.
So potentially this person was kind of with them and not as involved.
So the details aren't exactly clear, but this part kills me.
At this time, there's no evidence to suggest that these crimes were politically or ideologically motivated.
That's the stupidest sentiment I've ever heard.
And I'm not surprised to see it from the RCMP.
And it's a very strong argument in favor of a provincial police.
They went around attacking a series of churches and burning them down at the same time that across the nation, in response to the alleged residential school discoveries, people were burning down and vandalizing churches.
If you don't get that this is politically motivated, resign from the police force immediately.
It's politically motivated 100%.
Oh, and it's a hate crime, as you say, like before.
And that person is not reflecting correctly.
Like, if it's just the church that had been targeted, of course, it is like political, like targeted.
Yeah, it's wild.
I don't get it.
Another crime story here, and this was more so, it's the end of this story.
This next story is horrific.
Four Girls Assaulted 00:02:45
So a man charged after four girls sexually assaulted at a water park.
So we had two 13-year-olds, a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old, touched inappropriately while swimming in the wave pool at West Edmonton Mall.
So horrific.
Sukjinder Singh, 41 of Manitoba, since been charged with four counts of sexual assault and three counts of sexual interference.
So hopefully there's some serious consequences for him.
But I want to go to the bottom of this story.
And this line just kills me.
What is going on at West Edmonton Mall?
Singh is the fourth person to be charged in connection with sexual assaults at the water park since June.
So like a couple months.
There's been four instances of sexual assault at this water park since June.
What?
What?
I mean, I don't even know what there is to say, but I just think it's crazy that there's that many individuals going to one pool within a couple months and engaging in sexual assault.
And in some of these cases, you're seeing multiple victims.
I don't know.
Maybe it's just an Edmonton thing.
I don't know, man.
What do you think?
But after the first one, why they didn't block the entrance to that person?
Like, I'm saying that.
Well, it's different people.
But yeah, you think, yeah, different people.
So this guy this time assaulted four people, but there's also three other people in the last couple months who've sexually assaulted people.
And there's no like, maybe we should hire some security guards and look for grown men approaching children.
I don't know.
It's something.
It's a story.
So West Ed, smart enough.
Keep the kids safe.
No, but it's always been like that.
Like what we are waiting.
It seems that we are waiting the worst for really like taking action against something.
Like what they are waiting for.
Like it's always been like that.
Like we wait that someone being killed somewhere or being raped like somewhere for like taking like action.
There has been sexual assault in that pool.
Well, take action.
It's almost like there's like no, there's nothing political to be gained from going after West Ed.
If there's a cover-up and some controversy at the Calgary Stampede, liberals will weigh in and roast the stampede because it's not in line with their values.
But hey, it's just a water park.
What are you going to do?
Hey, I'll tell you what you can do.
Hire some security guards, keep kids safe.
That's about it.
We're way overdue for an ad break.
Let's jump to an ad break and then we're going to come back and rip through some more stories.
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, a telehealth company called The Wellness Company.
The Wellness Company.
Drag Queens and Comedy 00:11:57
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.
Yeah, you know, it's interesting.
I actually just had the opportunity to talk to a local naturopath, and I was asking about some of those products as well.
And they sort of were very much a naturopath I respect very well, very much in line and supporting the ingredients being used and the research behind it.
So that was good.
After we talked about it last week, I wanted to go ask some folks about it.
So a great work by those folks.
That group of folks is a bunch of doctors who sort of spoke out against COVID-19 and lockdowns and restrictions and then formed this group trying to help people get back to that, as they say, pre-COVID, pre-COVID-19 feeling.
Alexa, the next story, I'm going to let you sort of take the lead on this because you've been covering this and you might even have a video to throw to, but effectively a drag, a Quebec drag queen sparks controversy.
Tell us about this story.
I would prefer that people watch the clip because afterwards people will more understand what I'm talking about.
Perfect.
And the clip is just down for our studio folks.
The clip is just down on the page.
If you scroll down, the tweet is right there and the video is available.
So yeah, I think we got it ready to roll there.
I think we need to disappear for the subtitle.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's in French.
So there we go.
I think when they're down, the brain cog.
They're on Facebook and they're giving their opinion of this guy.
Chris.
I'm going to kill you.
They're fâchants.
They're fâchants.
Chris, les gars.
They're a vio.
They're never on one.
Non, mais à un moment donné, là...
Excusez, c'est à voir, c'est assez.
Ah, ça va être bon, cet épisode-là, pour aider le monde qui pense que les drags, c'est des pédophiles, là, c'est-ci.
Ouais.
Calisse.
Yes, on va les avoir.
Bonne fierté, t'as l'ornaque.
Il n'y en a pas assez des petits drags.
Ah ouais?
À l'école.
Il n'y en a pas assez.
Ça va de mieux en mieux, puis éventuellement, on va réussir notre but, qui est de rendre tous les enfants transgenres.
Ben oui.
On est à prêts de vous avoir, mes hosties.
Ben oui.
En passant, on voit ton cul encore.
Ben là, je vais l'assumer.
Ça va être ça, tabarnac.
Rince-toi l'œil, astide pervers.
Ça finit à quelle heure, ici?
On va t'amener, là?
Si t'as à ce point-là le goût d'avoir des gosses dans le front, on va t'arranger ça, mec.
On va tous t'arranger ça.
Non, il y a des isoloirs.
Ben, je suis allé, Chris, 4-5 fois dans ma vie au danseur, là.
Gros max.
Mais c'est ça, il y a des isoloirs, puis c'est pas propre, là, ce qui se passe.
Ah non?
Comme qui rêva, s'il te plaît, là.
C'est pas comme ça.
C'est pas comme ça.
Thank you.
Yeah, it's something to hear.
Like, but like, first of all, I will put you in context.
Mike Ward, some people know him, maybe not.
He's a comedian at home, he's known for his humor, really controversy.
He was involved also in a big Sega legal battle in front of the judge because he did do some harsh joke on disabled young men.
Anyway, the thing is, his podcast is called Suzy Coote.
He usually receives some people over in front of some drinks, alcoholing, alcoholic drinks.
And now he did receive the drag queen Mona de Grenoble and also Sebastien Dubet, that is one of the members of the Deniderlet, it's like a team of humorists, comedian.
I think you'd say more like in English, we say humorists as for like people who perform for humor on the scene.
So you will see like the video, it's the the the it's I've been cut like it's it's an hour-long podcast.
So, um, and some of the parts of the video have been changed of places.
But I watched the podcast and the meaning didn't go away.
So, what he was saying, it's um, the drag queen was talking about the fact, and Mike Ward asked, did you receive a lot of backlash backlash after your show?
Because it was involved in Big Brother in Quebec.
And it started afterwards to talk about the people who actually believe that the drag queen wants to indoctrinate children and make them like transitioning or stuff like that.
And they say, Oh, you know, these people cannot write correctly and propagate like this kind of false information.
They open Facebook to say they're really like backyard opinion.
I can kill them with a big hacks.
And at one point, I was like, okay, a part of what he was saying, it's opinion.
And a part of what he wanted to mix his own opinion with some humor.
I'm sorry, you cannot do that in a society with really radicalized opinion, with polarized people.
You cannot do joke that you target a specific group of people.
You can target this group of people, the people who are against drag queen in school, who are against drag queen to indoctrinate children.
This is a group of people that is identifiable.
And this in the law, it's a crime to say out loud in front of people to kill a group of identifiable people.
Yeah.
Well, and you know, the thing, the issue here for me is like, I am an ardent defender of comedy.
I think people should be able to say the most horrific things on earth.
I'm going to see Anthony Jessel Neck next week, and he has the most brutal comedy.
So, I'm in favor of saying anything.
But the issue is this was not in the context of a joke talking about killing people.
They're just asking him his opinion.
And he said, These people are all so stupid, and I want to kill them with a big axe.
That there's no joke there.
He's just saying he wants to kill people with an axe.
The other thing, too, is, I mean, I don't know, this is vulgar, it's not funny, and it goes a long way to proving a point.
Drag is subversive and disrespectful, intentionally so, not like disrespectful towards people, but it's intentionally subversive of gender roles.
And the comedy that it engages in, while it's generally pretty low brown, it's subversive and it's not intended for children on a fundamental level.
The other thing, too, is: I mean, if people are continuously going and seeking access to children in order to pass something along, you don't need to be dressed in drag to read a story to a child at a library, for example.
If you're going dressed in drag, it's to promote that in some way, shape, or form.
And you're promoting something that is inherently subversive and not appropriate for children.
Just the aesthetic alone of lots of drag queens is not appropriate for children.
It's confusing and subversive and not age-appropriate, plain and simple.
So, I'm all for comedy.
I'm all for it being free.
I'm all for it being uncensored.
But this is not comedy.
This is just someone espousing hatred.
And one of, and I just posted in the thread: this is one of comedian at home, and his wife posted this post on social media.
His son is like, I can show it.
His first show of drag queen for Billy at the Pride is that went to buy him some fake eyelash.
And this is actually their son.
And they are actually pushing and promoting the fact that his son now is doing some drag queen show.
And I would say they are supposed to be, they are comedian, they have an impact on the society.
And I think this is like, what do you think about that?
Like a comedian just show like his son, like completely like a girl and going to do some drag queen show.
And it's, it's, it's 100% parents pushing this on their kids.
And then it's also to score points.
It's like whether it's Trudeau rolling out his kids in a movie or these folks rolling out their kids.
Listen, like if you look at the statistics of kids who are allegedly, whether it be trans or whatever it may be, don't get me wrong, I don't espouse any of that.
But if you were to believe the mainstream statistics, the fact that these people who are progressives and pushing this stuff, it's always their kids who end up being trans or gender dysmorphic or whatever you want to call it.
There's something going on there.
It's clearly, it's not the bio, the odds are that biologically that's not happening.
So there's clearly something sort of social that is happening that is guiding kids down this path.
When every time these kids, like the amount of times that there's people within the LGBTQ and both of their kids are also identifying as part of that group, statistically, that is not likely to occur.
In fact, statistically, it's borderline impossible that that occurs.
So clearly, there's social pressures here.
And it's sad to see in some of these cases, I'd suggest a lot of these cases, parents confusing their children to score points with their friends.
Parents are supposed to be protecting their kids, allowing their kids to develop naturally, not exposing them to inappropriate content.
So yeah, I mean, I shelter my kids from some of the comedy that I very much enjoy because it would be insane to expose kids to that.
Now, these people would insert their child into the butt of a brutal joke in order to gain notoriety within those circles.
It's wild.
But yeah, you know what?
Part of it is, though, these people, like, for example, these comedians, this drag queen, they're intentionally garnering, they don't have talent.
They're not funny.
They're not witty.
So they're intentionally garnering controversy because that's the only way anyone can look at them.
And within the drag world, it's about being the most absurd.
Sometimes just people who are talented and do something exceptionally well, make no mistake.
But generally, it's about being the most absurd, the loudest, and having the most people look at you is the core of what's happening there.
Whistleblowers and Identity 00:08:10
And I suspect that's the case here.
By the way, have you observed that now the narrative is changed before it was like everything needs to be vaxxed?
And now it's like, and everybody needs to love drag queen and everybody needs to follow that narrative.
Or if you don't do that, you are a part of another second class citizen that we don't really respect because you're weird and you are homophobic, you are transphobic, and you are like against the community.
And that is untrue.
Yeah.
Well, and they're fake distractions.
If you talk to people, it doesn't matter if someone's from the gay community, the street community, a liberal, an oil worker.
Everyone right now is like, man, life's unaffordable.
That's what real people are talking about.
But the government is continually pushing.
Oh, now it's this COVID stuff.
Oh, now it's this environmental stuff.
Oh, now it's this pride stuff.
There's perpetual distractions from the actual core issues.
It's surreal.
Let's jump to this video.
We've got lots of stories to get through and we're starting to run tight on time.
James O'Keefe, we've got a video, I believe, from James O'Keefe on Twitter.
If we've got that ready to roll.
I'm James O'Keefe with OMG standing outside Best Buy.
This week on August 8th, O'Keefe Media Group OMG released a story featuring a whistleblower from inside Best Buy that released screenshots of a training program, a management training program with McKinsey and Company, where it explicitly excludes white applicants.
The program's racial requirements have led to accusations of racial discrimination.
A Firestorm Online, the CEO of Best Buy, Corey Berry, has now made her Twitter account private.
Now, a second whistleblower has come forward exclusively to OMG with audio recordings of his manager, Mike Hirsch, at a Best Buy in Jacksonville, Florida, stating that LGBTQ flags are appropriate in the Geek Squad office, but Christian crosses were not.
This has led to further allegations of religious discrimination.
If we're doing all that gay pride flags and all that transgender stuff, like, why don't we have Christian stuff all over?
They're not the same.
How is that not the same?
You can 1,000% choose religious.
So it's not a belief.
Listen, that's almost, that's a cultural.
Yeah, but me as a cultural entity having beliefs that I have, so why can't I put my stuff all over the wall?
You are choosing to believe in Christianity or Muslim or whatever.
Someone is choosing to be gay or lesbian.
Hey, they're choosing that.
Ennis Sujak, a Serbian immigrant and Best Buy employee in Jacksonville, Florida, recorded the conversation with his manager, Mike Hirsch.
I spoke with Ennis about a situation.
He's decided to go public.
Very brave, very courageous individual.
Here's some of that interaction.
That is our manager.
His name is Mike Hirsch.
He and I had a very long conversation.
It was like an hour and 30 minutes of he and I just going back and forth with him, uh, telling me that uh it was work appropriate to have all this uh LGBTQ stuff that's uh going on in the office and everywhere else.
But it's not okay for me to you know be a Christian myself and have a Bible uh right over there that's uh right there at the office or have a cross or a Quran or anything like that.
That's not work appropriate, but you know, having that LGBTQ pride flag everywhere else, uh, that is work appropriate.
And I wasn't standing for that.
Are you calling the police?
I am actually.
You're calling, you're calling the police.
So the amount of times we talk about how we're trying to, as a society, counteract racism, and that's all great.
But don't get me wrong, there has been racism.
There probably still is racism, certainly.
But the problem is, it was largely amongst individuals, or at least it was unspoken.
The new efforts to sort of counteract racism are overtly racist in writing.
They're literally like in paper saying exclude white people.
That is the most racist, overt form of racism you could possibly imagine.
And then saying, well, you can't have political stuff in the office.
You can't have religious stuff in the office.
But there's one special class of elite political activism, and that's pride stuff.
That's exclusively allowed.
This is wild.
You know what?
I mean, have a policy.
If you're not allowing religious or political symbols in the office, don't.
If you do, you can't say, oh, this cause is okay.
That's okay.
And the other thing there is: the core of this is that these people fundamentally do not understand religion.
They just think it's an arbitrary choice, like what sort of meal you're going to have.
For people, whether they're Christian, Sikh, Muslim, Jewish, people who are devoutly practicing, that is as much a part of their personality as their sexuality.
But we've heralded sexuality as this end-all and be-all in society.
And then your convictions by which you live your whole life, for many, even their sexual identity is formed by their religious convictions.
So you can't have one thing up on a pedestal and another thing torn down.
And if you are going to allow something to be protected, it should be the thing that has been and conventionally has been protected and upheld.
It'd be conventional to see a crucifix in every school, every workplace, all that throughout much of American history.
This new flash in the pan of that being removed and these other symbols being inserted, it's the anomaly.
It's the exception to the rule.
But me, three things came to my mind when I look at that video.
First of all, I was not really surprised that McKinsey was behind the criteria of employment.
And the second thing is like, if they didn't talk as a whistleblower, we will never have known about it.
So at all many other places at work, people are facing this who are censoring themselves for not being canceled by their co-worker or by their boss.
So if you're a whistleblower, if you experiment the same thing and you want to be a whistleblower, we keep your confidentiality.
You can write to us at tips at rebandnews.com or you can write to me at alexandra at rebellnews.com.
And the third thing who came to my mind, because it's kind of triggered me, it's when the men say, oh, but they choose to be lesbian or gay.
Now it's what the society have come to their mind, but the real gay and lesbian, they do not choose that.
It's now because now it's a trend that people are reinventing themselves that are now choosing to be whatever they want and identify themselves of, okay, I'm a lesbian now, so I'm experimenting with girls that now this is not being real, real like grounded being in the community.
It's just because you want to be in an identity group and you try and you decide yourself to be.
And it's really like unfortunate and really sad to see that people are starting to think that way because I know a lot of people in the community and they did not choose to to be gay or lesbian, you know?
Right, right.
Yeah.
No, I think that probably when you're looking through that, most people that probably stood out as well, I don't necessarily agree with that.
But the point is, is people are born into their faith backgrounds and it's very much as much a part of their identity as anything else.
But I mean, it does have to kind of go both ways.
You can't just have one and not the other.
And then you look at the rest of this is the ideology behind this, putting it aside at faith value, is it's very like anti-traditional religion and it's overtly saying that they don't want white people, which is the sort of core and concerning part of this.
More Than 800 Items Missing 00:10:04
Very, very troubling indeed.
In order to ensure that we get through everything, we've just got a couple of minutes left here.
We're going to fly through a couple of stories.
Lobbyists flock to Stampede.
Very funny to see.
There's a fundraiser event, Black Locks reports.
And apparently of the 96 liberal donors that attended this event, fewer than 43, fewer than half were from Calgary.
So all of them are coming out from other provinces in order to attend this event.
So the polling, while Trudeau's less and less popular across the country, certainly far from popular here within this province, to say the very, very least.
We also have this story here.
Former Snowbirds Sea King pilot forced out of CAF for going maskless during COVID-19.
What offense did Postma who flew seeking helicopters a decade ago?
Goes through some of the details of some of his sort of accomplishments.
What did he do to deserve such shabby treatment?
He refused to wear a mask during the Canadian Armed Forces mandate crackdown.
So it's not that he overtly sort of politically refused to wear them from what I understand.
It's that the masks weren't required in the classrooms, but they were required to be utilized through the hallways.
And there was some confusion.
And apparently, I mean, we all know this during COVID.
It was the slightest irrational offenses that were met with the strictest punishments, it would seem.
So yeah, it's troubling to see someone who served the country as a snowbird, sort of a Canadian hero, subject to these reinforcements and restrictions.
We saw so many cases like this, though, where someone didn't have their mask up the right way, or their mask fell off, or their mask was on the ground and it was dirty and they didn't have another mask.
And the government just went after these people time and time again, didn't they?
And it's sad because when we look at I interview also like Dallas Alexander Flemer, that he was a sniper, ill sniper, and it was medically released because he choose to not get the shot, but he was explaining that no doctor was able to prove him with like all the damage that he had like before.
He had like a couple of coaches and nobody was able to tell him that it was safe for him to do it.
The only thing that they were providing to him is like, it's safe and effective.
You need to take it.
And at one point, it was like, but you didn't prove me scientifically that it would not have any repercussion with everything that I suffered in the past.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's wild.
Yeah, and I mean, it's the amount of people, there's so many stories.
I mean, a recent court ruling, and we're going to talk about another court ruling here in a minute, did determine that some of those restrictions were sort of unconstitutional.
But veterans, whether it's this government not giving them enough, saying you're just asking for too much in Trudeau, or what happened throughout COVID-19, or some of the tweets from politicians saying, oh, what we did to veterans throughout this and to the military with vaccines, it was good and it made the military better.
It's madness and completely disjointed from reality.
Speaking of disjointed from reality, Canada's top court refuses appeal from BC churches protesting COVID-19 restrictions.
An interesting juxtaposition, considering we just had the Ingram ruling, which I spoke to John Carpe and Eva Chepiak about, where they've effectively deemed because the government overstepped and violated the Public Health Act that all of Dina Hinshaw's public health orders were basically illegal.
We're wondering how that would affect other provinces and especially top courts within the country.
And not great news.
Canada's highest court will not hear an appeal that challenged limits on religious gatherings during COVID-19 pandemic, marking a significant endorsement for British Columbia's provincial health officer and the end of the legal road for the faith leaders involved.
The Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear the case from churches in BC's Fraser Valley that argued that public health rules violated their charter rights by banning indoor religious services during the height of the pandemic.
We are disappointed that the Supreme Court has declined our application for leave to appeal this matter.
Read a statement from Marty Moore with the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms.
You know, this is clear, just no questions asked, politicalization of the courts.
This is one of the most necessary and fundamental discussions that has to happen post-COVID-19 restrictions.
And it is paramount for these courts to address these types of cases because if they don't, we talk about truth and reconciliation and other issues.
The hurt and the harm that occurred, they don't get to simply walk away from that and say, we're not going to hear these cases, though apparently that is what they're doing.
There needs to be sort of ramifications, rectifications, and corrections as a consequence of this massive overreach.
The court refusing to hear this is clearly and overtly political.
They have to hear it.
They can make a ruling saying under the circumstances it was allowed, which I wouldn't agree with, but the fact that they're not even willing to hear this critical argument about religious freedoms and how they're trampled on, it says more than any ruling could, the fact that they're not willing to engage in this conversation.
And it's frightening to see like that either the Superior Court or federal court wants to hear simple like case like this, this case of the churches of the overreach, what happened to them, but also with the organ transplant when they face refusal over the COVID-19 vaccine.
This just proves that the Supreme Court and the federal court do not want to engage anything that go against the COVID-19 policy that the government have put in place.
But the thing is, it's supposed to be really healthy in a democracy to actually do an overlook of if it was not over abuses, over like this.
Yeah, absolutely.
And I mean, especially given that you do have a, it's non-binding because it's not in the same province, but you do just have a recent court ruling that ruled sort of in favor of these critiques, not necessarily on the constitutional grounds, but in terms of a public health act breach.
But you just had a case rule against something similar, and then you're not even really willing to hear it.
It's a negligent decision, not surprising to hear from anyone involved in this federal government and some of the rulings we saw from court.
So sad to see that that's hit the end of the road.
Our final story for the day: more than 800 items missing from the Canadian Museum of History.
And if you guess that this organization is run at least in part by the government, you'd be completely right.
Imagine anywhere else other than a government institution losing 800 items from a museum.
More than 800 items could be lost to historical memory after an audit of the Canadian Museum of History found the inventory missing and the corporation with no plans to deal with the issue.
This is the same thing as looking at billions of dollars missing in infrastructure.
They're like, eh, they're just priceless artifacts.
They're gone.
It's fine.
The Office of the Auditor General of Canada produced the report, which is published on Thursday, that examined how the museum carried out its management practices and managed its operations.
Among the issues, the audit found that what was called a significant deficiency, no kidding, mass theft is another word for that, I think, in the museum's conservation practices, resulting in the exposure of its collection to various risks, including no robust inventory management systems.
So more than 800 items went missing from a museum, a place that's like job is to preserve items between 2012 and 2022.
So we're not talking about like a 500-year-old European institution losing 800 items over its total history.
We're talking about 10 years under this federal government.
This is wild.
In addition, so beyond these 800 items, 300 items in the museum were not properly stored.
And there are thousands more that had no source information.
It sounds like a cluttered junkyard alley to the tune of more than 15,000 items that they really don't have much record on.
Weirdly, though, later on, and once they go past this, they're like, it's all negative though.
The museum auditor, they said that they have good practices for corporate governments, strategic planning and risk management.
So the government can't help.
Like, how do they have good practices for strategic planning and risk management when they're losing or undocumenting or having damage to 15,000 items?
It's wild.
They have to pat their executives who are getting bonuses on the back.
The people who make the policies that led to this madness, they're not so bad.
It's just we're losing everything and the museum is falling apart.
And the minister in charge was Pablo Rodriguez.
I have a hard time to say his name.
Pablo Rodriguez.
And he wanted also to turn the museum more woke with like inclusivity, diversity, and including also climate change.
So you see, like, it's not even capable to protect the ATEM in the museum.
Well, whether it's not being able to keep track of their exhibits or erasing Canadian history, they seem that this government is hell-bent on just destroying Canadian history, both literally in this case and figuratively, as far as woke ideologies.

It's just because we don't see them in front of the camera.
But don't forget there is way more people working on this live stream.
Thank you, Adams.
It's always a pleasure.
We don't see each other often.
And by the way, me and Adam, we are the one who can speak French.
So next time it will be in French.
No, I'm kidding.

And you know what, folks?
We are in the dog days of summer, but we are on the prowl for a cat, namely a trans cat.
Yes, you heard me correctly.
A trans cat is walking the streets of downtown Windsor, hence the need for my safari suit.
We are talking about an individual.
His real name is Cody Detremont.
And then he changed his name because he was suddenly identifying as a woman, Desiree Anderson.
By the way, check out the picture of Cody Detremont/slash Desiree Anderson.
Yeah, that looks pretty feminine to me, doesn't it?
Here's the thing: he was admitted to this woman shelter several months ago.
And shockers, what happened?
Within a few days, he started to sexually assault a resident.
