Rebel Roundup | Liberal tears over Tucker Carlson, Danielle Smith doubling oil, Lametti limps away

David Menzies and Tamara Ugolini mock National Have Fun at Work Day while dissecting Tucker Carlson’s Alberta speeches—fentanyl distribution to minors, gender ideology in schools, and Liberal hypocrisy over dissent. Danielle Smith defends her open media strategy, contrasting it with Trudeau’s exclusionary tactics, like barring Rebel News or invoking the Emergencies Act against COVID protesters. Former Justice Minister David Lametti’s resignation and woke media absurdities, like trans cervix screening recommendations, expose ideological overreach. Critics warn of MAGA-style polarization, but Menzies highlights real violence against dissenters, questioning Trudeau’s "free speech" claims amid arrests and bank seizures. Alberta’s energy security and unfiltered discourse clash with Canada’s fractured political reality. [Automatically generated summary]

David's Daily Roundup 00:02:36
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
You have tuned into the Rebel daily roundup on this, a Friday, January 26, 2024.
I'm David Menzies and my co-host, well, let me tell you a little bit about my co-host.
Folks, do you know today is National Have Fun at Work Day?
And I would like to comply, but it might be an HR violation.
She is the she-devil of the spatula.
She is the Khaleesi of the greater Coburg area.
She is Tamara Ugalini.
Are you having fun at work yet, Tamara?
You know what?
There's never a dull day, especially when it comes to working alongside the iconic David Menzies.
Especially being back in the flesh here, it's been a long time, I guess, since, gee, I can't remember.
Not this year, that's for certain, since last time we were sitting in these chairs in front of our viewer audience.
So it's, I'm, I'm excited, but a little bit rusty.
So we'll see how this goes.
I know, I feel your pain, Tamara Ugolini.
It used to be Sheila and I, and occasionally you and Alexa would jump in.
We would do this four days a week.
But you see, super producer Efren, he was kind of like the farmer down at the barn.
He decided it was time to put me out to pasture.
And so he led me by the nose off the set.
No, I'm just kidding.
They thought I could be more effective, and I agree, going out into the field because there is just so much insanity out there.
Before we get into the nitty-gritty, and we do have a lot of insanity speaking about mental illness and things like, oh, I don't know, Tucker Carlson derangement syndrome.
I just want to say a belated, happy Rabbi Burns Day to all our Scottish viewers.
That was yesterday, of course.
In fact, Tamara Ugalini, in honor of the great Scottish poet, I was going to pin a poem for you, my dear, but I just couldn't come up with a rhyming stanza to hickory dickery duck.
Oh!
What do you think about that?
Maybe for Valentine's Day.
Just around the corner, don't you know?
Watch out, Lady Menzies.
No, you should channel your efforts there, David.
Don't waste them on me.
Without further ado, so we have some, I guess one of the biggest stories in Canadian news is the fact that U.S. commentator Tucker Carlson can trigger the liberals so fiercely just simply by coming to Canada and talking to Canadians who hold a conservative worldview.
Fentanyl For Minors? 00:14:15
It's so extreme and radical of them.
How dare they?
So for anybody who isn't familiar, Tucker Carlson made two appearances in Alberta.
Was that yesterday or the day before?
I'm getting my days all mixed up here.
I believe it was Thursday.
So yesterday.
No, I think it was Wednesday, wasn't it?
It was Wednesday.
Okay.
Thanks, David.
And so for anybody who isn't familiar with that, we have a couple of The most kind of iconic clips from his speech there.
And there was Premier Alberta Premier Daniel Smith in attendance and some other key people.
So maybe we'll start off with a couple clips of Tucker and what he had to say that just was so triggering to the liberals.
And then we'll follow it up with how they have subsequently reacted.
One of the first ones is basically when Tucker is condemning this new policy in British Columbia where they're going to give minors fentanyl, if you can believe it, without their parents' consent, because I guess safer supply and harm reduction strategies haven't been an absolute failure in that province since they began pioneering it in 2016.
And Tucker seems very aware of the cost and the toll of these policies.
Let's have a listen.
Incredible.
If you have a government that is giving fentanyl to your children, as they are in BC, I notice your premier has a no fentanyl to kids policy, God bless her.
I know, and you're applauding.
I mean, and I'm applauding and I'm grateful.
But how distorted is your world where you have to applaud the one politician that's like, you know, we're not going to give fentanyl to the kids today?
Okay, but then take two steps further back from that and ask yourself, if someone's giving fentanyl to your children, what's kind of the message of that?
Well, they're trying to kill your children, obviously.
Fentanyl?
It's the number one cause of death under 40 in the United States.
Number one in the whole country.
Followed by suicide.
If you want to know where we are, we're about two years behind you.
And it's only because we have a louder media space than you do that we aren't ahead of you.
But if someone's giving fentanyl to your children without telling you, they're trying to kill your children, which are your inheritance.
So the only meaningful thing you will ever produce on earth, okay, are your children.
That's the first thing to know.
You know, Tamara Ugolini, the first thing I want to address is this is without parental consent.
I know you're a mother, so you probably understand where I'm going with this.
When my kids were minors in the school system, if they wanted to get on a school bus and take a field trip from Richmond Hill to the Royal Ontario Museum in downtown Toronto, we had to fill out like eight sheets of permission forms.
Eight sheets for like for just a field trip in which there was absolutely 0.0% danger.
And suddenly that's okay, but it's not okay to even inform the parents that they're going to have these hard drugs ingested.
I can't make sense of this.
Yeah, and that still persists to this day.
You know, if there's a field trip or there's any sort of outside of school, even I think when they walk around the perimeter of the school for things like the Terry Fox run, you have to sign a waiver for your child to be able to partake in that.
And yet, yes, here we are in bizarro world, upside-down world, Justin Trudeau's clown Canada, where you can give fentanyl to minors without even letting their parents know.
And another egregious thing that happens in this country is the idea of socially transitioning children at school without their parents' consent.
So a similar kind of unfolding in here where the wishes and the agenda of the state supersedes the parents' right to know and consent to what is happening with their children who are minors, who can't vote, who can't buy a pack of cigarettes, who can't go and purchase a bottle of liquor, I mean, legally from the LCBO.
But yet here they are being able to make these life-changing decisions based on very little evidence that they are effective or safe without their parents' ability to be able to say, hey, wait a minute, let's weigh the risk and the benefit and let's have a conversation about this.
And I note here that Carlson also has some really powerful things to say on the topic of gender transitioning and ideology that has been proliferating our publicly funded schools for the better part of, I don't even know, several years now.
That's really scary.
And I don't care how much they dress it up in the passive-aggressive self-help language of the modern left.
Well, it's really about public safety.
Every time I turn on your freaking television shows, everything's about public safety, which is a euphemism for hard-edged fascism, actually.
And frankly, I'm a little bit more comfortable with the old-fashioned variety where guys in tight uniforms goose-step through your town because at least you know who you're fighting and you know it's going to take to liberate your town.
Get rid of these people and everything will be okay.
But when they show up and they're therapists with advanced degrees and they look at you in the face and say, no, actually, little Dylan just needs more fentanyl.
Little Dylan's actually a girl.
And we're going to, yes, he's a girl.
Sorry, she's a girl.
She's a girl.
And if you don't agree, well, maybe we may have to remove Dylan to more care affirming custody.
Oh, you're going to take my kids away because I don't want to castrate them.
They'll never say that, of course.
Because clear language is their enemy.
Because clear language exposes who they really are.
They're not people who are trying to help you.
They are people who are trying to hurt you.
Anyone who goes after your children, anyone who encourages you to have fewer children, is trying to make you extinct.
It's literally that simple.
And it's only in the advanced West that we don't see that.
Try that crap in Bulgaria.
Try that in Serbia.
How do you think that would fly in Serbia?
We're just going to give little Voldok some fentanyl.
And we think, you know, he may be, you wouldn't even get to the next sentence before you got shot.
Because you're trying to kill someone's kids.
And your average Serb, whatever you think of them, doesn't have generations of therapy talk that acts as a logical intermediary in his brain and prevents him from seeing what's actually going on here.
They're trying to kill my kids.
I'm the father.
I won't allow it.
I'll lay my life down to prevent it.
It's literally that simple.
You can hear the cheers in the crowd when he says that too.
100%.
You know, Tamara Ugolini, Bulgaria is looking really good as an exit strategy country for me right now.
And I got to tell you, right off the bat, Bulgarian feta is my favorite feta cheese.
I'm so sorry to my Greek friends.
I know you're yelling at me now, but I just call him as I see him.
But the thing is, he's onto something.
And we didn't get into the indoctrination part, Tamara, because if you look at schools right now, the kids in schools, there have been polls that are showing that over 20% of students identify as part of the LGBTQ spirit unicorn community.
I'm not buying that because let's look at the stats.
While the left would like you to believe that community represents 10% of the global population, that's false.
It's really under 2%.
And of that 2%, it is a rounding error in terms of those in the trans community.
And that's important because, and you even see in that community divisions, gays against groomers, LGB without the T.
And in that particular instance, Tamara, that's lesbians, gays, and bisexuals going, wait a minute, no, no, no, no, we're not part of Team T, Team Trans, because they realize that radical agenda is a war on them as lesbians, homosexuals, and bisexuals.
And by that, I mean, let's take an example, a nine-year-old boy.
Maybe, you know, he's not into sports, maybe he was being a little effeminate.
But, you know, right now, a lot of people would say, ah, see, Johnny, that's really a woman trapped in a man's body or a girl trapped in a boy's body.
We got to get the puberty blockers out.
We got to prep him for genital surgery, but give it some time because maybe at the time he's, you know, 17, 18, it turns out, you know what?
He's just a gay guy, right?
But if we listened to the woke mob on this, we would have sliced and diced his genitals, put them filled with chemicals, and made him go through life as a pretend girl.
I mean, I'll tell you, Lady Menzoid back in the day, I mean, she was the ultimate tomboy.
She was climbing trees.
She would tear the heads off Barbie dolls.
Now, I mean, if she was born now, right, if she was living now as a child, you know, she would, well, probably she wouldn't be a woman anymore.
Or if she married me, I think of the BJ, the Bee Gee's song, more than a woman to me, if you catch my drift.
But this is a problem, the indoctrination and the idea, I think, Tamara Ugalini, that being trans is cool.
Absolutely.
It's a social contagion.
Everybody who condemns this, and if you look at the detransitioners, as they're called, as they become mature and have their rational brain develops, that frontal lobe, you know, it's not finished developing until well into your 20s.
And so as those psychological changes and that maturation occurs, they say, wait a minute, what am I doing here?
This is, and they're also reeling from the health effects and the fallout of hormone replacement therapies and the devastation that that wreaks on their bodies.
And they're saying, I made a big mistake.
And so we can see that this social contagion has contaminated the minds of young, impressionable children who oftentimes just don't really have anywhere to fit in, right?
And you shouldn't as a youth.
You're discovering who you are.
You're sorting out some serious identity, figuring out who you are as a person, what your identity is going to be, what you stand for, and to shoehorn these children who are naturally just trying to figure out where they fit in their life and in society, to shoehorn them into these labels and cause this kind of permanent,
damaging issues onto their susceptible bodies, telling them, oh, no, no, no, this is reversible.
You can come back from this, just go off the hormones, everything will go back to normal.
No, that is a fabrication that is false and misleading and is not upholding the cornerstones of medical ethics, which is informed consent and informed choice.
And it's really sad.
I'm glad you brought up the term medical ethics.
I hope that's not an oxymoron these days, especially post-COVID, Tamara Ugalini.
But here's the deal.
As they say in this business, when you're looking for motivation, always, always follow the money.
And the fact of the matter is, folks, this gender-bending surgery represents billions and billions of dollars of new revenue streams for hospitals, especially private hospitals.
And to Tamara's point, If you realize you have buyer's remorse that your depression didn't turn around by pretending to switch your gender, hey, we'll undo it or try to, and that'll be another X number of thousands of dollars you're going to have to pay.
These doctors behind this, you have totally sacrificed the Hippocratic oath, which literally means do no harm, right?
You don't have morals, you don't have ethics, it's about the almighty buck.
And the idea you are having your focus on children, on minors that shouldn't be allowed to make a decision like this, you are absolutely despicable and shame on you just because, well, you want the latest BMW F series car.
Despicable.
You know, people sometimes say, well, what does COVID have to do with the trans issues, have to do with safer, safer supply and harm reduction?
And I simply say, all roads lead back to pharma.
Look at the monopoly that pharma has on all of these seemingly separate issues proliferating in our society.
And it is pharma and the lobbyists that have that stranglehold on all of this because they're the ones, as you say, if you follow the money, that are profiting from the crisis that people are facing.
And it's, you know, the vast majority of people can't seem to make it through the fog enough to see past what's directly in front of them and say, hey, wait a minute, who's responsible for this and who's profiting from it?
Because from what I gather, all roads lead back to pharma.
And Tamara, on that point, how many new billionaires, that's billionaires with a B, were minted in the pharmaceutical industry due to COVID, right?
I don't have the precise number, but we know they're out there.
Can you imagine?
Yeah, we're all in this together.
Really?
Joe's toy store has to shut down and probably be rendered out of business, but the guy peddling this poison is going to be on Billionaire's Row.
What a disgrace.
Billionaires and the Wicked Witch 00:15:32
And now, in reaction to Tucker Carlson's lamented appearance, the Liberals have had a complete meltdown about this.
I'm loving it.
They're so desperate.
They are so desperate.
They're way down in the polls.
The conservatives are leading by a massive majority in this country.
There's a sweeping conservative wave happening.
And I think that they're just running scared and they don't have any ability to formulate their own thoughts.
And so they're stuck trying to keep the wheels turning.
And meanwhile, you have someone like Tucker Carlson who's speaking logical sense, right?
He says in some of his other, the other clips that we have in his entire speech, where it's this fluffy, flowery language of the left that they, when you present them with just straightforward speak, you know, fluff, no BS, they just melt.
It's like the Wicked Witch of the West, where it's like, I'm melting.
And so anyway, we have a couple clips here to share with you that we'll laugh about on the inside.
Stephen Gilbo, he somehow says that he was targeted at the Tucker event.
Like way to play victim.
I mean, this goes beyond me and the fact that I was targeted last night at this event.
This increases political violence against everyone who runs for office in this country, whether they're doing it at the municipal level, at the provincial level, or at the federal level.
As my friend and colleague Randy said, like we can have differences of opinion.
We can bang our fist on the table when we meet.
We can have strong disagreement.
But to incite violence against people who disagree with you, that's not how things should be done in Canada.
Are you not contributing to the divide by coming out here and comparing Polyev to this and making this about him?
Are you not contributing to the divide by doing that?
If your government has been ignored.
We're not comparing Polyev to him.
I think what have you looked at your own advertising from?
What Mr. Rodriguez just said is he said, I'm asking Pierre Polyev, the leader of the opposition, to condemn those hateful and violent statements by Tucker Carlson.
How are we not comparing it?
You know, that's a little rich.
A couple of convicted criminals talking about violence.
You know, Guibot, like, you know, in another life, was illegally scaling up the CN Tower.
And I believe the other Jabroni, drunken DWI charge.
Yes.
You know, so this is the moral high ground.
Are you kidding me?
But, you know, Tamara, more to the point, I think.
I mean, not even they believe what they're saying.
This was a horrible, horrible week for Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada.
You had the federal court ruling coming down.
You had David LaMedi deleting his Twitter account and buggering off.
Now there are reports about Trudeau allegedly using a racist term for that's right.
And this is PR 101 in politics.
Change the channel.
We had a week of LLL losses right across the board.
What do we do?
Let's get people calling, you know, let's get people talking about this hate meister, this uber MAGA type from south of the border, instigating violence against MPs.
You know, I wonder, Mr. Guibo, how do you define violence?
Words or opinions or ideology you don't agree with?
Or, you know, kind of what happened to me two weeks ago in Richmond Hill when one of your Royal Canadian mounted henchmen bounced my head off of a wall for asking Fraudline Freeland an insensitive question.
Yeah, you see what I'm getting at, Tamara?
There is actual real violence carried out by this party, and then there's this phony baloney violence.
Here we go, in case anyone missed it.
And I don't think many did.
It went viral for so many days.
There you go.
They know who I am.
They know I mean no harm.
If they didn't know who I am, they see the Rebel News Mike Flash.
And here I am being arrested for assault, meaning that the Mountie, that cue ball guy there, stepped into me with a clothesline right out of professional wrestling.
And, you know, truth be told, Tamara, do you know I felt him before I saw him?
My vision was laser focused on Minister Freeland.
I didn't know there was an ambush at play, but I found out the hard way.
And one last thing on this.
What does it say about this so-called assault?
I mean, assaulting a peace officer.
That's a really big deal, folks.
But why was it in less than an hour, Cubal decided to drop the charges?
But wait a minute, he was so offended.
I assaulted a piece.
It was witnessed by several people, including other police officers, video recorded by probably two dozen people.
And suddenly, oh, you know what?
I guess it was an assault after all.
But to the point we're getting at, isn't it amazing how these liberal cabinet ministers feel that they are under assault when no one's even uttering a threat of violence to them?
It's unbelievable.
It seems like if you critique or criticize or condemn their policy, this is somehow inciting violence and hate.
And it's, you know, if you can't take the heat, maybe you should get out of the kitchen, is how the saying goes.
Because if you're going to rule through oppressive tactics, as we've seen the liberals do repeatedly in that federal court ruling where they judge determined that the invocation of the Emergencies Act was in fact unconstitutional,
which I guess the liberals are going to squander more of our taxpayer dollars to appeal, that is proof in the pudding of the oppressive regime that we live under in Canada, where if you criticize or condemn or even question the validity of the policies that they institute on everybody indiscriminately, you're somehow seen as a far-right bigot who's inciting hate and violence.
And I guess that's what the entire basis of Tucker Carlson's event was to say what is going on in Canada.
Like this is not okay.
Look what you're up against.
Everybody who is a dissident or questions this is being silenced, suppressed, slandered, basically.
I mean, look at that.
I would call that, you know, a slanderous statement to say that this event somehow incited hate and violence, because from what I can see, there was nothing further from the truth.
So that's the way the liberals go.
I loved your description of, you know, they're like so many wicked witches of the West.
You know, by the way, and I don't mean to get off on a tangerine here, but even as a kid, this bothered me.
You're the wicked witch of the West.
You have all these incredible powers, and your only Achilles' heel is water.
Yeah, so in my castle, I'm going to have buckets of water everywhere.
It was kind of like Star Wars, you know, the Death Star, right?
It is completely an invulnerable death machine, can eliminate planets even.
You know what?
There's just this one little design flaw.
It'll be a one in a billion shot, but it can blow up the whole weaponry.
Yeah, let's just ignore that and go on.
But I will say this: in defense of the Wicked Witch of the West, her dying statement is how I feel every day, especially during the COVID years, which is this: What a world, what a world.
Wicked witch, I feel your pain.
So profound.
Okay, let's go to another clip.
So, standing beside in that last one, that was Environment Minister Stephen Gobo, and he was joined there by Transport Minister Pablo Rodriguez.
We have another clip here of Pablo to share where he, I guess, stands up against division by calling for Polyev to condemn Carlson's presence in Canada.
Condemn.
You brought up Ker Polyev's name in your comments.
I mean, is this going to be your effect, your strategy effectively going forward, is tying Kare Polyev to Trump?
He wants to be prime minister of this country.
What happened last night is not acceptable.
If he wants to run for prime minister, he should have the courage to condemn those.
It's not acceptable.
I mean, what do you make of the fact that there is an audience for it and for their perspective?
Well, as I said in French, the extreme right politics don't ask the question if it's coming to Canada.
It's already here.
Is this going to be a problem?
And they bring it in.
Oh, my goodness.
You can see what the gear's in his head, Tamara Ugolini.
Is anyone buying this?
You know, I love that there's actually a media presence there that is kind of starting to push back a little bit.
That's actually refreshing for me to say.
But when they're using things like not acceptable, remember when Trudeau said that there was a fringe minority with unacceptable views on its way to Ottawa to protest the COVID mandates?
And we ended up discovering that that was not at all a fringe minority.
That was what the majority of Canadians, how they felt and what they wanted to see, and they supported it.
And so, what do the Liberals do?
Well, they invoke that unconstitutional emergencies act used to quell and squash a peaceful protest.
And then they seize the bank accounts of anybody who continued or had to that point supported the convoy even before it reached Ottawa.
If you donated $10 to the GoFundMe while you were on the foreign, the watch list as a domestic terrorist.
And so when you have these ministers say that Tucker Carlson coming to Alberta wasn't an acceptable event to run, I say, watch out, everybody, because maybe your bank account will be seized next.
But you know what?
Isn't that very telling, Tamara Ugalini?
Not acceptable.
So you mean freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of expression.
There was like 4,000 people plus in Calgary, almost 10,000 in Edmonton.
They weren't shanghaid and forced at gunpoint.
They paid money for tickets to get there.
That's not acceptable.
And yet, what have we been seeing in the streets of our great dominion since October 7th?
Pro-Hamas hooligans calling for the death of Jews, the vandalization of Jewish-owned businesses, genocide, the annihilation of the state of Israel.
When is the Frito Bandito?
I mean, sorry, Pablo Rodriguez, when is he going to come out and say that's not acceptable?
Or is it, you know, we got to weigh our options here.
There might be, sadly, more people in Canada that are pro-Hamas than are pro-Israel.
So it's just business, baby.
We're going with the numbers.
We're going to soft pedal our condemnation for people who are actually calling for death and genocide.
That's okay, according to Pablo, but you get together in an auditorium and you listen to Tucker Carlson.
That's not acceptable.
Give me a break, Tamara Ughalini.
Yeah, you listen to Tucker Carlson speak some realness, and this is somehow twisted by the liberals who are melting into inciting hate and violence.
Maybe we'll just show this last clip because it's the prime minister himself who is claiming Polyev is trying to appease Putin apologists like Tucker Carlson.
Can you believe it?
My very first call this year was with Volodymyr Zelensky, who wanted to know that Canada still stood with him, that Canadians still stood with him.
And I told him, yes, we do.
The Canadian government and most of the parties in the House will continue to stand with him.
But Pier Polyev and his conservatives chose to vote against support for Ukraine, calling it a faraway foreign land to appease Putin apologists like Tucker Carlson and those who enable him.
Yeah, but the only thing is, Tamara Ugalini, it is a faraway foreign land by definition.
It's not on our border like the United States of America.
You know, this is clearly Trudeau pandering to the Ukrainian vote.
There was a huge Ukrainian-Canadian community.
You know, I used to play when I got my start in journalism.
I was in St. Paul, Alberta, and there was a little village called Mirnam.
And I was the goalie.
That was the first unique thing.
The second unique thing, I was the only non-Ukrainian player on the team.
So I get it.
A lot of Ukrainians out there.
But it's just like, you know, when I got assaulted, folks, that was at a fourth year anniversary vigil for the Ukrainian airline that was shot down, 55 Canadians, 30 permanent residents on that, most of whom were of Persian descent.
And that was Blackface reaching out to the Persian community with a nothing burger, by the way.
We might, we're thinking about putting the IRGC, you know, the assassins on the terror list.
Give us some time.
It's been four years, for God's sakes.
So you can see he's going into all the silos because in about 18 months or so at max, you know, we're going to have an election.
Trudeau can only rag the puck until October of 2025.
And this is him pandering because you know what?
And he's going after significant numbers, especially with Ukrainians in Canada, because we know where he is with the trans community.
He's all down there.
But, you know, that's not any kind of critical mass out there.
What are your thoughts, Tamara?
Well, when he says things like Canada stands with Ukraine, and he's coming at that as a fringe minority government, whereas most Canadians are struggling in our current economic landscape to feed their families, heat their homes, buy fuel for their vehicles just to get to work.
And then I just found here, and I'm sure there's another announcement that's more up to date than this one, but this comes from a September 20, sorry, a September 22nd, 2023 update.
And if you scroll down just past the last set of bullet points there, it says today's announcements bring Canada's total committed support to more than $9.5 billion in multifaceted assistance to Ukraine since the beginning of 2022.
Premier Smith's Press Response 00:15:24
I think if you just scroll down just a little bit more there, just above the quotes.
Yep, just down a little bit more.
Today's announcement.
There it is.
$9.5 billion in multifaceted assistance to Ukraine.
No, Canadians are saying, no, let's figure out what is happening here at home with our various crises taking place from the drug crisis to the housing crisis to the cost of living crisis.
Why are we sending $9.5 billion to Ukraine?
Canadians, no, as a fringe minority government, this does not represent the majority of Canadians who are saying, wait a minute, this doesn't make sense.
And we need to figure out our problems at home first.
And you know, the other thing, Tamara Ugolini, that really makes my spidey senses tingle about the Ukraine situation is their president, Zelensky, who has come out to publicly attack Donald Trump.
I think this is a terrible piece of strategy.
I fully expect Trump, barring assassination, is going to be the next president in the United States.
So the idea that this man getting being the recipient of all these billions of dollars is in the Biden camp.
And look what Biden has done in the last four years.
If you're an American, as always, when it comes to an election, you have to ask yourself the question, am I better off today than I was four years ago?
I think unless you're in the pharmaceutical industry, I think it's almost 100% going, no, no, it's buyers' remorse.
So I do not appreciate this man's brand of politics.
Yeah.
Now, I just have one more clip that I think we should share before we go to an ad break.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith obviously was under fire after this Tucker Carlson event that apparently the liberals think somehow incited hate and violence onto them simply by just his presence and speaking to a crowd.
I think sold out 10,000 people and 4,000.
I would assume that's pretty much max capacity.
And here is her response to media being questioned about that.
I do want to ask about your attendance at both of Tucker Carlson's events yesterday.
This is somebody who has been accused of defending white supremacy, spreading misinformation about the war in Ukraine, as well as making disparaging remarks about women.
So why did you believe that this is someone that you should be giving time and attention to?
Well, I take a wide range of media requests.
I've done, I'm told by my staff, 96 individual media events or interviews since I got re-elected, 24 press conferences.
And I don't require, I don't do a screening test to make sure that every person that interviews me matches 100% of what I believe.
And I don't expect that they're going to, that that would be an appropriate thing to do.
So I take a wide range of interviews from CBC all the way through to alternative media because my job is to get our message out about Alberta.
And I told everyone that I wanted to make sure that somebody who has a very loud voice in America knew that we were a partner in being able to provide energy security and energy affordability.
And I got that message out.
You know, Tamara Ugolini, I think an important point here, and I really think right now Premier Smith is probably the best premier in our entire dominion.
But she will take questions from everybody, even those on, you know, the CBC or the Edmonton Journal who hate her guts and are ideologues and leftist progressives.
Contrast that to the Liberal Party of Canada.
Myself and all my colleagues here at Rebel News, we can't get into press conferences under a threat of trespass.
We can't get into the House of Commons because the parliamentary press gallery, which is in the Liberals' pocket, won't approve us for members.
So it's kind of funny, Tamara.
Our haters say, oh, going back to that four-year anniversary vigil for the Iranian massacre by shooting down the Ukrainian airline.
Why was Menzies harassing Minister Freeland on a public sidewalk?
Guys, that's the only way we get to ask questions is out in public trying to scrum them, a time-honored tactic of journalism, I might add.
So, and then the other point is Premier Smith or her party had absolutely nothing to do with the organization of these events.
She was an invited guest and she accepted.
So I contrast Premier Smith being open to any and all media, including the hostiles, whereas if you're Justin Trudeau and his liberals, it is only the state-approved taxpayer-funded train seals and government stenographers that are allowed into venues.
Yeah.
And I like that tweet that she put out there, or maybe it's just, I think it's called a post now that's on X, formerly Twitter.
But Danielle Smith sends out a packed house in Edmonton, Alberta to witness free debate, thought, and expression.
We need more of this from all sides.
And I think that attests to exactly what you've said.
Progress isn't born from just being coddled in an echo chamber.
Progress is born from having discussions, robust discussions, robust debate, and trying to sort out our issues from a multifaceted thought approach.
And we've seen that under the oppressive regime of the Justin Trudeau liberals, where progress just sends us around in circles and circles and circles.
And no one, after eight years of his rule, is better, nine years, is better off.
So I don't know how we're expected to progress as a society when we just become boxed into these labels and echo chambers.
It's really disheartening, but refreshing to see at least some people continuing to uphold true progress in our country.
And you know, Tamara Ugalini, I see the other post in the corner there.
There we go.
Thank you, Super Producer Olivia.
You have Jordan Peterson, Premier Smith, Tucker Carlson, and Conrad Black.
Boy, that's my version of a political fantastic for.
And, you know, to see the mainstream media folks turn into petulant children.
Andrew Coyne, who commits the most heinous sin when it comes to journalism, and that's he's boring.
In this business, be good, be bad, be so bad you're good, but Coyne is boring.
He retweeted that post, and his comment was: You deserve each other.
What a little petulant crying child you are.
I mean, it is just unbelievable that I think we actually have, there we go.
In fairness, they deserve each other.
What do you mean by that?
Yet, another globe and male sissy who is upset that somebody that they don't like is getting all the world attention, at least for one evening, and he's got to condemn it and not even explain, folks, why they deserve each other.
He just says it dismissively.
Like, you know, you know why they're mega, MAGA people.
Well, actually, just MAGA regular, actually.
But again, this coming from the most boring man in Canadian journalism.
If I was any of those four, I would wear that condemnation as a badge of honor.
That's right.
All right, let's go to a really quick ad break here, and then we'll come back to talk about justice, former Justice Minister LeMetti's resignation.
Oh, the timing is impeccable, isn't it?
COVID self again.
You're not alone.
The wellness company Spike Support Formula is an all-natural supplement to help people do just that.
It was created by cardiologist Peter McCullough and his expert team of doctors to help the people experiencing effects from COVID and the you know what.
Go to TWC.hell/slash rebel today.
Justin Trudeau's new censorship law, Bill C18.
It's a shakedown and a desperate attempt to keep the mainstream media afloat.
Many have already lost their ability to access our Facebook and Instagram pages.
The blackout will soon affect every user in Canada.
We've partnered with Private Internet Access, 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 at piavpn.com/slash rebelnews.
You know, by the way, on the topic of access, you know, acceptability, I should say, Tamara Ugalini, Sid the Kid Fazard raises an interesting point.
You know, the Trudeau liberals' censorship bills.
You know, I think that is not acceptable.
We are supposed to be a Western democracy.
We are supposed to embrace free speech, free assembly, free expression, a free press.
And yet, the liberals, they bought off almost everybody, but the few independent voices that remain, that's the one burning candle out of the 99 that they have snuffed out.
And they have turned into censorious thugs as opposed to parliamentarians in a democracy.
They should be ashamed of themselves.
That Pablo is unacceptable.
And in better news for the liberals, in worse news for the liberals, we have the former justice minister, David Lehmetti, has officially resigned as Montreal Liberal MP.
He will remove himself, I suppose, from his seat at the end of this month.
Just if we're reading down this National Post article here, the second paragraph, he says in a statement, LeMetti said it was with some sadness that he is leaving his dream job, but said that his constituents would benefit from a change of voice and style after more than eight years in the job.
I mean, you don't say.
Has he already been appointed with some pork position or is that in the moments ahead?
I think he has.
But the thing that bugs me, and I'm not a lawyer, Tamara Ugalini, and maybe we should seek a legal opinion on this.
He deleted his Twitter account, but that wasn't his personal account.
That was his government account.
That is government or in other words, public property.
I don't think, maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think you're allowed to do that.
And what was so, you know, odious, what was the, what content does David LeMetti post the court decision not want anyone to view right now?
That's just it.
This comes a few days after the courts of Canada ruled that the invocation of the Emergencies Act, which was unprecedented, really wartime adjacent legislation, deployed on the peaceful trucker convoy that took to the nation's capital, Ottawa, in January and February 2022.
And in response to that, Justin Trudeau, I mean, he cowered in hiding.
I think he had COVID then for the third or fourth time, maybe after his third or fourth booster.
But he refused to talk to the protesters who were really protesting the cross-border travel mandates and how it would affect truckers.
But then as they saw the support as they drove across Canada, it really turned into a protest against all of the COVID mandates and the COVID regime in general that enforced these diktats, public health diktats, so heavily.
And without that robust discussion and debate, those things that are important to a functioning democracy.
And of course, because we don't have freedom of the press in this country either, you couldn't even speak truth to power and ask any questions about how this was all coming to fruition because you simply, as David mentioned earlier, aren't allowed to go to press conferences or ask any of those impolite or controversial questions.
Anyway, so.
Those images, by the way, bring back such warm memories, even though that was the coldest Ottawa weather I've ever experienced.
I was there for most of it.
Alexa Lavois and Lincoln Jay were there for all of it.
Thank goodness, because that was history.
But you know what?
To fast forward to the decision of a couple of days ago, Tamara Ugalini, I truly believe the liberals were shocked by this decision because that judge was a liberal appointee, not under Trudeau, but under Kretchen.
And I thought they thought the fix was in.
This is a liberal-friendly judge, although I understand he's very well respected in Ottawa across political lines.
I am fully confident they expected the judge to rule in their favor, and they were absolutely gobsmacked when the decision went against them.
And don't forget, LeMetti was the Minister of Justice at the time, and he was the one who was urging Anita Anand to bring in tanks against his own unarmed citizens to squash this peaceful protest at the nation's capital, where you would traditionally go to protest your grievances with the government, the federal government.
I'm not sure if we can pull up.
You can find some of the screenshots.
Or sorry, it was Marco Mendicino that he was in discussion with.
And he said, and they say, oh, we were joking.
Maybe I'll just put this into the.
What a knee slapper.
Send in war machines to take care of those pesky freedom fighters.
Just kidding.
But they say in this conversation, how many tanks are you asking for?
I just want Anita.
I just want to ask Anita how many we've got on hand.
That's a good question.
I reckon one will do, he says, with two exclamation points.
And this is against unarmed protesters, Canadian citizens.
This is our justice minister who's now, it's been determined, unconstitutionally invoked wartime legislation to squash a peaceful protest, essentially framing them as domestic terrorists.
And you can see the footage for yourself.
It's a giant party.
And don't forget, people were prevented from in-person gatherings for the better part of two years.
We're told stay six feet apart.
You can only gather inside with five.
And then it was 10, and then it was five again.
And then it was only if you're vaccinated.
And then it was make sure that you ostracize your unvaccinated family members and friends and never allow them into the restaurants, into the movie theaters, into any sort of social public space that's inside.
Giant Parties Amid Lockdown Restrictions 00:14:18
And so Canadians were fed up and they had been apart and forced, isolated for so long that they just wanted to come together and have some good old-fashioned Canadian fun.
And then they were framed by this government, this oppressive regime, as domestic terrorists who invoked the Emergencies Act to use unprecedented force on their own citizens.
And then at the same time, you have on February 2nd here, the justice, former justice minister saying to deploy just one tank will do.
Yeah, and you know what, Tamara Ugalini, I wonder how many other rats are going to desert this sinking ship.
Yeah, I'm looking at you, Marco Pinocchio.
I mean Mendicino.
But now that David LeMetti has deleted his Twitter account and he's buggered off to God knows where, all I have to say to this loser is this: tanks for the memories.
Let's show this Minister of Innovation reacting to this resignation as an MP.
Actually, before we play that clip, sorry, I just want to point out too that Justice Minister LeMetti has been a pivotal, played a pivotal role in the development and implementation of MAID.
That's government-sanctioned euthanasia, medical assistance in dying.
And this clip here, the Minister of Innovation doesn't even know the acronym for MAID, if you can believe it.
And his legacy after taking over from Ms. Wilson-Raiple?
Listen.
Everyone's serving in their own way.
I think Minister LeMetti served at the time where Canada were well served by having someone of his intelligence, integrity, and vision.
You know, he served at the time where the country went to a lot of different things.
COVID, the Emergencies Act, the assistance, Medical aid assistant for people who were seeking MAID, exactly.
I'm always trying to find the right acronym.
But he's served at a very crucial time in Canada's history.
And I was saying, I think he will be remembered as a key member of the cabinet during Prime Minister Trudeau's term, but also I think he will be remembered as a very, very significant Minister of Justice and Solicitor General for Canada.
Very few of them in the history of Canada have gone to so much as he has.
And so for me, he will always remain a friend.
And I think Canadians should know in their heart and mind that they were served by someone who has a deep intellect, a knowledge of the law, which is unparalleled, and a sense of duty to the country, which you would want to see in every elected leaders.
You know, Tamara Ugolini, it's so perversely amusing, isn't it, how the Trudeau Liberals are so acronym challenged.
He can't even remember MAID, which is very much in the news, rolls off the tongue.
And yet, Yara Sachs two years ago said that Hong Kong, you know, somebody honking their horn twice, was an acronym, her words, not mine, folks, for Heil Hitler.
First of all, this moron doesn't even know what an acronym is.
An acronym is not a sonic blast.
It's a bunch of initials that form an actual proper word.
Do we have that guy's Yara Sachs talking about her favorite acronym?
Yeah, just will you see this rocket scientist in action?
How much vitriol do we have to see of Hong Kong, which is an acronym for Hail Hitler?
Do we need to see by these protesters on social media?
That's now our Minister of Mental Health and Addiction.
Yeah, she got a promotion.
And more to the point, Tamara Ugolini, back in December, we went out to cover a demonstration outside her constituency office in the North York area of Toronto.
It was the pro-Hamas types.
Guess what?
Cars were coming by all the time.
Hong Kong, did Yayara Sachs, who is Jewish, I might say, maybe that's neither here nor there, but did Yayara Sachs condemn the pro-Hamas people for their Heil Hitler acronyms?
Because I'll tell you, there's been a whole lot of Heil Hitlerin going around when you go to these pro-Hamas demonstrations.
Unbelievable.
And speaking of which, we have a video here of Trudeau saying that having liberal MPs form a pro-Hamas caucus within the party is a strength because as always, I think that, well, he thinks that diversity is our strength.
And I don't know if we have that clip quite ready yet, but is it diversity or perversity?
I'm losing track here.
Both, I guess, these days in Canada.
I mean, we see record immigration numbers now proving that diversity is in fact crumbling our economy.
But here's a clip.
We have it up.
You know, the contrast is being drawn by some of the other parties.
That within our party, we have a range of voices and perspectives on some pretty big issues, including around the Middle East.
But of course, Canadians hold a range of views and perspectives on such difficult issues.
And it is really, really important.
And indeed, it's a great strength of this party that here in this room, we can have deep and serious and difficult conversations about how to move forward, how to support Canadians, how to protect and support democracy and people and civilians and innocents around the world as we build a better future for everyone.
Having those difficult conversations, being able to have conversations in this room that are the reflection of conversations that need to be having across the country is a strength, not a weakness.
And anyone pointing to that as a weakness does not get Canada.
Because even as we are absolutely having difficult conversations that are the reflection of the perspectives of the world, we remain unequivocal and undivided on the fact that as we work towards a two-state solution in the Middle East, we need to make sure that we're standing against hatred and intolerance here in Canada, for families across the country and for people around the world.
That's what we're focused and united on.
Tamara Ugolini, is this guy really that tone deaf?
Is he that insular?
He says Canadians hold a range of views and perspectives.
Oh, yeah, that's right, Justin.
Only thing is, folks, if you hold a view or perspective that is not approved by the Liberal Party of Canada, well, you know what?
You'll get arrested, maybe thrown in solitary, maybe assaulted on the street, or have your bank account frozen if you've made even a $20 donation to a GoFundMe campaign.
Can you believe the chutzpah of this guy basically reinventing himself as a free speech champion when he is the ultimate censorious thug?
I've been around for a little while, Tamara.
I have never seen a prime minister and a party act like this.
Not even Papa Trudeau, who brought in the great-granddaddy of the Emergencies Act, the War Measures Act.
At least in that case, there was a murder.
There was a kidnapping.
But Junior man, he's making Pet look like a piker.
Well, and I think it was the same day we played the clip.
Transport Minister Pablo Rodriguez says, what happened last night is not acceptable.
Sharing your controversial views or your criticisms of our government is not acceptable.
Justin Trudeau said it himself when he referred to the convoy as it traveled across Canada to head to Ottawa, said this was a fringe minority with unacceptable views.
So it's just more political double speak.
And I want to say that we're running up against the clock here.
We have a couple super chats to get to.
I know time flies when you're having fun.
Especially at Fun at Work Day.
There you go.
I didn't call it line or anything.
You're not going to file another complaint about me, are you?
Another?
Are the rumors untrue?
And Mark gives us $5 and we'll give you, I don't know, what, 20 seconds here, David?
But he says, David, or he, she, sorry, I shouldn't assume the gender.
David, can you speak in your trans voice?
Your video is so funny.
Oh, yes.
I phoned the Canadian Cancer Society helpline.
Even though the healthcare system is frayed at the seams, folks, the Canadian Cancer Society is advocating that trans women, that's men pretending to be women, come in for a pap smear and a cervix cancer screening.
Just one hitch.
There is no cervix to screen, but that's okay.
We don't want to offend the feelings of these trans people.
So I was doing my trans character, David, which was, Yes, I'd like, as a trans woman, I'd like to get my cervix that doesn't exist screened.
That's it.
You're just missing the Zed cups there.
Maybe we have a little clip that we can play.
Oh, no, we don't.
But hopefully that will do for you.
Oh, we do.
We do, I think.
Yes, hello there.
I am a trans woman, and I'm calling about getting a cervix exam scheduled.
Can you help me with that?
Yeah, of course.
Can I just grab your policophone?
Yes, the L4C 9v2.
Okay.
I'm just jerking.
My name is Davida.
Okay, and how do you spell that?
D-A-V-I-D-A.
Davida.
You know, we're having a gut laugh about that, folks.
And I saw so many comments.
Fun at workday.
There it is.
Yeah, I think someone is going to sue me because he spat his coffee out of his monitor and he fried it.
But you know what the unfunny thing is?
Catering to these mental case trans people is taking away a space from a real woman that needs a real cervix examination.
The Canadian Cancer Society, you should be ashamed of yourself.
For decades, Tamara, I have always bought their $100 lottery tickets.
Gone.
That is done.
I am not contributing to you if you are going to, and you're the people you represent doctors and scientists.
You should be of the camp, you know, follow the science, except when it comes to biology.
Forget it.
Canadian Cancer Society, I am done.
You aren't getting a nickel of my money moving forward.
That's just it, though.
Money talks, right?
That's what we should be doing.
Put your money where your mouth is and support those who are not bending the knee to this insanity.
Exactly.
Ulta Peasley gives $10.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for everything you bring, David.
It's amazing watching you on so many platforms.
Just watched you on Megan Kelly and Matt Walsh.
There you go.
Well, you know what?
That's so nice.
And the fact of the matter is I'm with a huge team, my beloved Tamara Ugolini here, the producers in the background.
We are all fighting for the cause of justice.
But to your point, my friend, isn't it amazing?
Matt Walsh and Megan Kelly this week were featuring the trans sanity in the pool or the perversity in the pool, as I call it.
Isn't it odd with one notable exception, Joe Warmington of the Toronto Sun?
The Canadian mainstream media is absolutely silence about this story that is getting international traction.
Why?
It's one of two things.
It's either too-third rail for them.
They don't want to offend Justin Trudeau because you know how hard he is as a supporter of the trans community, or these woke, imbecilic journalists in the mainstream media actually believe rubbish like a trans woman is a real woman.
Yeah, maybe they should resign and write PR pieces for the Canadian Cancer Society if they feel that way.
What's your take on that, Tamara?
This gets international publicity, but radio silence when it comes to Canada.
Yeah, that seems to be the way it goes these days.
Canada is captured by these ideologues.
They've had, I think it was Klaus Schwab from the World Economic Forum, you know, he says, penetrate decabinets, and they have.
And so you hear radio silence in Canada on the criticisms with these policies because they're, it's all intertwined.
And in America, in the U.S., I think one of the other clips that we didn't play from Tucker Carlson was just that they actually still have more of a free media landscape in the United States.
And that is why they're not quite as far gone as we are here in Canada.
And they have two of the most beautiful documents ever written, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, which even in the U.S., even with the First Amendment, is under attack by the leftists and the progressives and the Marxists.
Why They're Not As Far Gone 00:02:26
Oh, you know what?
Yeah, those documents are overrated.
You know, they were written by white male slave owners.
You know, don't, to my American friends, never let that, you know, the First Amendment go by the wayside because then you are on the slippery slope to Canada, a banana republic, right?
I take that back.
We can't grow bananas in Canada.
It's too cold.
Call us a maple syrup republic, okay?
There you go.
A couple more.
Bill CF7 gives $5.
Thank you.
David, I'm sure Elon can open up his ex account if someone asked him to.
So I think that was in response to LeMetti closing down.
But you know what?
The internet's for forever.
And it's good to be aware of that.
But I was on, there's the Wayback Machine and then there's also archive.org.
And I was able to dig up his old account.
So there are ways that you can, it would just take a long time to sift through unless you had a hyperlink that you made note of or otherwise.
I try to do that in my web copy, actually.
The copy, the written component of my reports is include hyperlinks because when they go back to scrub them, you can usually use the wayback machine or archive.org, save the link so that they're there for forever.
And then when you go back to source them and they're gone, you can say, oh, wait a minute, I have a backup somewhere else.
So there is a backup of his account on those two different websites.
You just have to scroll far back to 2022 when they were dealing with this purported emergency to read those tweets.
Don't you wish, Tamara Ugalini, there was a real such thing as a Wayback Machine, a time machine?
Because I tell you, folks, I'm going back to 1980 when I was in high school and I sold my comic book collection to get a used Camaro so I could get a date in high school.
The Chevy failed to deliver.
Had I hung on to those comic books, I could buy a new Ferrari off the lot today.
Yeah, thank you to the female student body of Lawrence Park Collegiate Institute.
I'll never forget.
He's still holding on to that grudge.
You know, in hindsight, it's always 2020, isn't it?
All right.
We have short staff here, $5.
We're starting to egg David on a little bit.
So be aware.
Love you, Dave.
Do you have a name for the bald-headed Gustavo Punk who illegally arrested you?
You know what, short staff?
I think you just nailed it.
Bald-headed Gustavo Punk.
That works for me, my friend.
And talk about truth in advertising, eh, Tamara?
Scaring the Studio Into Silence 00:05:20
There it is.
All right.
So we're just about seven minutes past the hour.
So we'll wrap up this Friday live stream.
Thanks to everybody at home who joined us.
And I don't know when we'll be back again.
I think it will be mostly Sheila on Fridays as your host.
But it was great to be here in studio.
Indeed.
And I just want to say to everybody in Windsor, because I know there's a big population there that cheers on Detroit teams being that they're across the river, Lions at San Francisco.
Do you know, Tamara Ugalini?
I know you're not a big football fan.
The Lions have been around for 90 years.
Can you imagine that?
Almost a century.
They've never won a Super Bowl.
They've never even been to a Super Bowl.
That's one more game against the 49ers and they're there.
My sons are in Windsor, so they're rooting them on.
So please, let's end the misery.
Let's see those lions progress.
And I got to tell you, you, my friend, are a lioness in your tenacity.
Oh, do we have one more?
I heard something.
Do we have to do?
We have to be awake.
There we go.
We're just trying to wrap things up.
Be snuck in there.
Nana Awake gives $10.
Thank you.
As a former regular donor and a female former cancer patient, I am appalled.
No wonder they haven't found a cure for cancer.
Shame on them.
What a profound cervical cancer on a male anyway.
Well, we live in a world now, Tamara.
My monologue was about this.
It's about pretend people being catered to about their pretend psychosis.
And the fact is, we just don't have people standing up.
We don't have that little boy in the classic fable saying, hey, the king's got no clothes on.
And if that boy existed today, he's attacked by cancel culture.
He's sent to an institution to correct his wrongthink.
But if we all stood up and there's more of us than them folks, if we all had that I'm Spartacus moment and took a stand against trans sanity, which is an attack on female safe spaces, not just cancer screening or sports or shelters or even penitentiaries, we would win.
And I'm going to give six figures of free political advice to the Pier Polyev Conservatives.
Take a stand on this issue.
There are millions and millions and millions of Canadians that are ready to give you a standing ovation that we shouldn't cater to mentally ill people.
They should be an institution for their protection and ours.
At the end of the day, it's a new kind of MAGA for me, Tamara Ugolini.
Make asylums great again.
There you have it.
Riveting final thoughts with us here in the Rebel News studio at Rebel Headquarters.
And until next time, I think, David, your signature sign-off.
Go lines and be safe and be sane.
We're here.
I'm here with my colleagues, Liberal caucus members, ministers all, to talk about what happened last night in Edmonton when the Premier of the province of Alberta, Daniel Smith, invites Tucker Carlson right into the heart of my riding.
You can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep.
And I have knocked those doors in Edmonton Centre.
And I know how progressive a riding Edmonton Centre is.
I've represented it since 2015.
And for Danielle Smith to bring the mouthpiece of the mega conservative far-right to Edmonton Centre to spew hate about LGBTQ2 people is beyond the pale.
It's deplorable and we won't stand for it.
And I can tell you, it is completely unacceptable for the Premier of any province to say that she wants to put a target on the back of any Canadian politician and my friend and colleague Stephen Gilbo simply for doing his job.
You can have respectful discourse in this country.
You can raise the issue.
You can bang your fist on a table at a FedProv meeting.
That's all legit.
But you do not summon the dogs of MAGA conservatism to come and somehow scare, try to scare us and to try to incite violence against politicians of any stripe.
It's not acceptable.
And if she would take her job seriously, she'd actually be focused on housing, on climate change, on actually solving the issues of Albertans, like forgetting her ridiculous proposal on CPP, instead of trying to summon evil forces from the United States to try to take on one of our colleagues.
What is the violence that I think the minister also said this in French?
What is the violence that they are bringing to Canada?
What is the political violence that you're talking about, just to be very clear?
Well, to put a target on someone's back, for example.
And what is the evil?
To put someone in crosshairs.
What do you think about what's going on today they're bringing here?
I mean, spewing hate speech about LGBTQ people, trying to bring the kind of division that they have in the United States north of the border.
MAGA-style conservatism has no place in Canada, and it's trying to reach through our borders.
And as Minister Rodriguez has said, Conservative premiers, instead of doing their jobs, are trying to invite this wave of populism.
And I can tell you, it's making newcomers nervous and fearful.
People in the LGBTQ2 community do not feel safe.
We have people who want to run for office that take a look at what happened last night at Edmonton and say, why bother?
And that is not good for the political commons.
Export Selection
