David Menzies and Drea Humphreys critique Canada’s 23 Pride-related observances, calling them divisive while comparing them to Remembrance Day’s brevity. They link Syria’s al-Assad collapse to rebel extremism, mocking Mississauga’s pro-rebel video amid church burnings (100+ since 2022) and Justin Trudeau’s absence at Montreal’s Notre Dame reopening despite 50+ world leaders attending. Trudeau’s carbon tax hikes (61¢/L by 2025) and economic policies are blamed for rising homelessness, food bank use (2M Canadians), and hate crimes (+256%). Polyev’s "Canada first" stance is praised but scrutinized for potential right-wing pressures, framing the 2025 election as a clash between Trudeau’s failures and conservative policy reversals.

You have tuned into the Rebel News live stream on this, a Monday, December 9th, 2024.
I'm David Menzies and my co-host.
Well, let me tell you a little bit about my co-host, shall I?
Folks, do you know that yesterday was pansexual and pan-romantic pride day?
And my co-host did not celebrate that day, even though she owns a snazzy set of Martha Stewart cookware.
She ain't getting romantic with a bunch of pots and pens.
She is the she-devil with a spatula.
She is the clean of BC.
She is Drea Humphreys.
How you doing there, Drea?
I'm good, but how dare you assume that I did not celebrate being pansexual?
And I don't have Martha Stewart cookware, although I would.
She's pretty cheek with things like that.
Well, thanks for breaking the fourth wall in that regard.
But anyway, but you know what?
You know what the bigger thing is, Drea?
Here we are heading into Christmas.
And still, Pride Day, which became Pride Week, which became Pride Month, which became Pride season, it never bloody ends.
You know, all scattered throughout the year, there's something like Pansexual and Pan Romantic Pride Day.
And let's not get, let's not forget Trans Remembrance Day.
I think that's on November 20th.
And then there's Trans Visibility Day.
Hey, how about Trans Invisibility Day?
I'd subscribe to that holiday.
I counted maybe six months ago and we were at 23 days in counting.
That's in addition to Canada's so-called pride season, right?
The whole summer is apparently our pride season.
It's on our nation's website.
So, yeah, I don't think it's anything.
It's amazing.
Talk about the tail wagging the dog.
Less than two percent of it.
There's less than 2% of the world population are part of that community.
And yet, the way I look at it, Drea, what do we do for Remembrance Day?
Basically one hour on November 11th, right?
And then it's over.
And think of the sacrifice of those people and our veterans who are still enlisted versus what we have to get up.
And, and you know, that's the thing.
It's not about, you know, acceptance and tolerance.
It's about affirmation.
We are going to get up on an apple crate and say, we really believe what you're doing is fantastic.
And if we don't, you are a hater, a bigot, a transphobe, and there will be blood.
We'll go to a human rights commission and ding you for money for being insensitive.
We are now in what Jordan Peterson Warden is about, compelled speech.
You will say this or else.
And there's no pride in that in my book.
Compelled speech and compelled religion, if you ask me, because you have to celebrate it.
You have to become an ally to it in order not to be a hateful bigot.
So, having said that, I believe this is where you lay down the housekeeping rules.
Oh, yes.
Thanks for reminding me.
It's uglier over here in BC than it is over there.
But yes, for those of you who don't know what we've been gabbing at for the last, I don't know how many minutes, this is the Rebel Roundup.
Do this show twice a week where we go through the daily news.
And it's super fun because guess what?
You can be a part of it.
We literally read what you have to say on the show.
Anybody who goes to our friends over at rumble.com who don't censor us for bringing you the news and gives a Rumble rant, it's called, and a donation of $5 or more towards the many expenses to keep Rebel News going.
Well, we read those rants.
So it's a fun way to support us.
And sometimes you guys know what's going on more than us on a certain topic.
We're reading it as it's coming out, and you guys already have some background.
But don't let that limit you from commenting.
If you can't afford to donate, please still comment.
There's lots of like-minded people in the chat as well.
So, well, I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys have to say.
And so much on the docket, Drea.
I see, well, the Middle East, when is the Middle East not in the news?
From the moment I was born, there was something happening in the hotspot that is the Middle East.
And we saw the al-Assad regime fail in Syria.
And I don't think many people saw that one coming.
But when you think about it, it kind of makes sense, doesn't it?
The rebels went on the warpath in late November and promised help from Russia and Iran.
Basically, did not materialize except for a few random airstrikes.
Because, well, Russia's got its problems in Ukraine.
Iran has its problems.
Well, just about in every other part of the Middle East, from Hamas to Hezbollah to the Houdis.
So this was, I guess, a very apropro time for the rebels to descend.
The only thing about it, as much as Al-Assad was a brutal dictator, I'm not sure what's behind door number two is any better.
Many of these rebels, they've got al-Qaeda and ISIS roots.
So, geez, I'm not sure if this is better than the devil you know, better the devil you know than the one you don't know.
Maybe they're equally as horrid.
But why don't we throw to Pierre Polyev weighing in on this?
And I totally agree with his assessment, and we'll pick it up with your thoughts on the other side, Drea.
Well, first of all, Assad was a puppet for the tyrants of Tehran.
He has carried out genocides against the Sunni people in his own country.
And now he appears to have been toppled.
We don't know who will replace him, but I don't think we should get involved in that mess.
It's not our fight.
We should stand with our allies, including Israel, against the terrorists.
We should focus on protecting our own country.
Because after nine years of Trudeau, we've never been so vulnerable and so at risk.
He lost control of our borders, lost control of our spending, lost control of our security, lost control of crime.
He's allowed terrorists to come into our country, even after they've been videotaped, mutilating human beings in other parts of the country and other parts of the world.
And what we need now is a strong leader who will put Canada first.
My only concern is Canada.
We need for a change, a prime minister who will put this country and its people first.
And that's what I will do.
Thank you.
Drea, Canada first.
Your thoughts?
Well, my first thought is this is where we hold Mr. Polya accountable as rebel news reporters.
Mark those words because we're going to hold you to it.
Like you said, I totally agree with that.
Canada is in so much trouble after eight years with the Liberal government.
We have to put Canada first.
We have no choice but to.
And if we don't, we're going to seriously suffer the consequences.
So I agree with everything he said.
It sounds very Trump-like a little bit, if I do say.
And I don't mean that in an insulting way like the legacy media would do.
But I also, you know, I would have to say, does he mean the same when it comes to Ukraine?
You know what?
That's a great question.
And, you know, next time we're at a Polyev presser, maybe we can press him on that.
But, you know, Drea, I agree with his one-word assessment of so much of that part of the world.
It's a mess, M-E-S-S.
And I'm going to admit, you know, I think it's not a position of weakness to admit when you're wrong.
But I'm going all the way back to the early 90s, 1990, I believe it was 91, Gulf War I, right, broke out in the Persian Gulf against Iraq.
And I was always stunned at the end of that that, wait a minute, we're not marching to the capital.
That's the allies, that is.
We're not taking down that brutal dictator.
And then it became apparent after Gulf War II when that was indeed done.
And what became of Iraq?
It was a vortex of terrorism, right?
And I guess what I'm getting at is that maybe there are some regions of the world that you cannot liberate, that you're going to have to play the long game and let the locals figure it out for themselves.
Because the dumbest thing ever, looking back, was George Bush on that aircraft carrier with the big sign, mission accomplished.
No, it was disaster accomplished.
And I will admit, back in the day, I was very hawkish.
We got to take out Saddam Hussein.
And my goodness, in comparison of what took root there, that guy was a Boy Scout.
So the idea of going in to another mess, in the words of Pierre Polyev, to fix something that I think is unfixable.
And by all indications, we're going to have a quasi-Islamic state terrorist kind of regime taking control.
I'm not walking away from this one.
I'm running away, Drea.
Yeah, I agree.
And we have our own issues, you know, that are stemmed from the Middle East happening here in Canada that we need to keep our eye on.
Well, and do we even have the resources?
First of all, I don't think if we had Canadians' boots on the ground getting killed in that region of the world, I think there's almost zero public appetite for that.
Absolutely no way.
And in terms of Canada being a military might, I mean, what are we going to do?
Get the snowbirds out of the hangar and bomb Damascus?
I mean, are you kidding me?
We're going to grab the tampons from the men's back.
Yes, that's put those together, employ them, make some sort of.
You know, that's a good point.
Maybe if we pulled all those dispensing machines and inventory together, maybe we could buy another CF-18 or something.
You never know.
You never know.
So good for Mr. Polyev there.
And we have something, a video.
Oh, it's from super producer Efren Monsanto, supporters of the rebels that toppled Assad's regime in Syria just hours ago.
Celebrate in Mississauga, Ontario.
Yeah, I guess.
Would that be near the Gaza Plaza?
There's that diversity in play for you.
But why don't we take a look at that video?
Yeah, so folks, as they used to say back in the day in the TV business, do not adjust your set.
That is Mississauga, Ontario, not Damascus, Syria.
Wow, quite a display.
And yet again, I guess I know I'm being a nitpicker, but you know, if you're in Canada enjoying the pursuit of the Canadian dream, taking advantage of Canadian social services, is it too much of an astraya that there's, I don't know, one Canadian flag on display?
You know, that's the thing.
I would like to see some more Canadian flags.
I'm Canadian.
I like the values that we have here.
So perhaps that's the difference.
But it looks like there's a lot of blocking going on there.
I couldn't help but see cars just standing still in the lot and wondering, hey, where are the police and their horses?
I mean, it just looks like there's perhaps open businesses that are just completely halted by this demonstration.
Oh, don't worry, Dre.
I'm sure Fraudline Freeland is right now freezing the bank accounts of every participant there.
But no, you're right.
It does point to the political and policing double standard we've seen for the last 14 months in our Dominion.
And I mean, I think the worst example was right in your backyard.
You covered this, the burning of the Israeli American and even Canadian flag in Vancouver.
You know, that was such a shock to see.
But the point that really I think wasn't covered as much is that this had been happening for a while.
You had Charlotte Cates, who was the head of that movement.
She had been charged back in the spring with possible hate crimes and nothing happened.
Under the NDP Attorney General Nikki Sharma, she just let it sit there until it gets to the point where hundreds of people in the center of Vancouver at the Vancouver Art Gallery are chanting death to the United States, death to Canada, death to Israel, celebrating the burning and the tearing of flags, and of course, celebrating the anniversary of the October 7th massacre.
This is some real scary stuff.
I also covered how inside a little area at that protest, which also wasn't really covered, was that there were groups of them handing out these pamphlets that gave people instructions on how to enter buildings without being noticed.
I mean, this is what I mean when I say we have problems right here in our own country that we have to worry about.
Quebecois Buddy's Warning00:05:17
So I hope we do see a leader who starts to care about that.
You know, it's amazing, too, when you see these flags being incinerated.
I mean, we have seen an unholy alliance these last 14 months, the Islamists and the Marxists.
And the left, correct me if I'm wrong, Adrea, aren't they all about global warming and reducing our carbon footprint?
But you know what?
When it comes to kerosene on a Canadian flag, you know, burning a polyester, you know, flag.
Yeah, there's nothing wrong there.
I guess it's all in the messaging.
So the hypocrisy again is incredible.
And it's everywhere.
We have a little video from our Quebecois buddy.
Is it Quebecois or Quebecer?
I don't know anymore.
Where's Alexa when you need a Quebec person?
Guillaume Roy.
Well, let's put it this way, folks.
You never know who you're going to bump into outside the grand opening of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.
Check this out.
A quick
correction.
Notre Dame Cathedral in Montreal.
Yeah, I was like, wait a second.
I just assumed Guillaume usually they're like a matched pair, aren't they?
Guillaume and Alexa Lavois.
I just assumed he was over in Paris with Alexa.
But no, that was indeed Montreal Mia Calpo, folks.
But again, I'm donating to where and, you know, and, you know, Dre, I always wonder about these little ad hoc money boxes you see.
Like, where is that money?
Is it really going to Gaza or is it going to the local shawama shop down the street?
Well, that huge smile, you know, the huge smile she has on her face, like this, couple pictures on a plastic dollar store box in your set.
It reminds me actually of what you saw at the Every Child Matter protests all the time after the so-called discovery of 215 buried indigenous kids and Kamloops that were never discovered.
You saw those boxes going out.
I'm sorry, where is that money going?
And of course, that's the first thing I thought of when I saw that box as well.
Yeah, and I'm sure they have a, I don't know, a charitable tax receipt they can give out to people making donations of at least $15.
You know, I'm just so skeptical when I see, you know, that kind of fundraising.
But you know what?
We have lots more to come.
But in the meantime, I believe we have a Rumble ad read and a Rebel ad break because you know, folks, we got to pay the bills.

Ezra's House of Commons Victory00:14:42
Well, there you go.
I got to say, you and Tamara Ugolini, you just look so good in those Rebel ads.
Far better than I looked in those wrestling talks.
There's such fun.
There's so much.
Oh, no.
You just want us to talk about how good.
Show a little bit of David, maybe without the sound.
But Tamara pointed it out in our meeting.
I will get to that, but Tamara pointed out in our meeting, she said, you know what, David, you look really good.
Like you've lost a lot of weight.
You're getting fit.
So he's throwing to this so that I could say that.
I don't know if we could show it at this point.
There.
Look, he's getting a fancy sound.
What has happened?
No, Andrea, you forgot the other part of Tamara Ugolini's sentence was, you look really good for somebody in their 60s, I believe was the word, right?
So that's kind of a benchmark, right?
By the way, that tank top was $19, Drea.
Do you think I can expense that?
Or what do you think?
That's definitely not in the budget.
I joked around.
I said, all those arrests are making you prison fit.
Yeah, because we know what happens to you if you can't run away fast enough in the big house, don't we?
Oh, anyway.
So I do have an ad to read, like you said.
We got to keep the lights on here.
But also, I just want to point out one thing that, you know, newcomers do very well is they support themselves.
They support their family, their community, their extensions.
And that's what we got to do with our own tribe.
So take a listen to these companies that are partnering with Rebel News.
You know they're like-minded.
You might as well support them.
And this is special to my heart and my reports because it's about the kids, the future.
So this is for the kids' guide with President Trump.
With the President Trump history.
Oh, sorry.
It'd be nice if I could read.
I just totally butchered it, but with President Trump's historic victory, I need to ask parents to please listen up.
Now that President Trump is heading back to the White House, he said he wants to teach our kids to love our country.
And the best place for them to start is to learn all about President Trump and his vision for America in his second term.
That's why Mike Huckabee's team put together the Kids Guide to President Trump and to celebrate President Trump's victory.
They've given it away for free.
With fun illustrations and easy to follow content, this important guide teaches kids all about President Trump's accomplishments, which you will not hear in school.
You'll hear the opposite, of course, during his first term and it helps kids understand his goals for his second term.
Mike Huckabee wants to send your family this free guide so you can teach your kids the truth.
But please hurry because supplies are limited.
To claim your free kids guide to President Trump right now, just visit kidstrumpguide.com and it's free.
So come on.
And it's going to push back against what they're going to be taught about Trump for sure.
How can you lose?
But did you just say before your read there, Drea, that kids are the future?
And I think there's even a Whitney Houston song, Children Are the Future.
Do you really believe that?
That children are the future?
I do, and it's scary.
It used to be a good thing.
Now I'm not so sure.
We have to really focus on that.
I absolutely believe that.
Children and AI.
So there's that.
I don't know.
I weigh in on the hovercraft.
I think that's the future.
But anyways, I've been wrong on that bet every decade of my life.
Anyway, speaking of rebels going to jail, we have a very interesting piece here.
Conservative MP Colin Kerry slamming the ribble, the liberals.
I almost said fibrillals.
That was a Freudian slip.
For supporting censorship and pro-Hamas protesters chanting for genocide.
And of course, the reference point is our beloved big boss man, Ezra Levant, two weeks ago getting arrested.
Well, you know, for that egregious crime of practicing journalism in a public place.
But in any event, let's see what Colin Kerry has to say.
Madam Speaker, under the guise of combating disinformation and hate speech, this government has implemented policies that give it the power to silence voices, censor information, and withhold documents that do not conform to its own woke ideological agenda.
And this censorship is spreading across Canada through our institutions, not just here in the House of Commons.
We saw this last week when an independent journalist, Ezra Levant, was arrested for simply filming and reporting on a pro-Hamas rally occurring in his own neighborhood.
Instead of arresting provocative pro-Hamas supporters who spew hate, celebrating genocide while chanting from the river to the sea, an independent member of the press was arrested for simply doing his job, arrested by the very police who have sworn to protect his charter rights.
Madam Speaker, and we wonder why Canadians are questioning whether or not this is the country they grew up in.
When a Jewish man gets arrested by Toronto police in his own neighborhood while supporting a vigil for families whose loved ones were massacred and kidnapped on October the 7th, while members of the hateful mob are allowed to continue their mockery of the victims' suffering, we have to ask ourselves why the government condones this hateful behavior and censors firsthand accounts of cruel anti-Semitism and supports police who discriminate.
When governments and our institutions condone this behavior, it is as if it gives a stamp of approval.
And that definitely is not okay.
Oh, well said, Mr. Kerry.
Your thoughts, Drea.
Yeah, it's nice to see that.
I mean, how many things have happened to us as we bring the other side of the story, you, of course, many times, and it gets completely ignored.
So as sad as the occasion is, I am happy to see that.
The two-tiered society is what we keep seeing over and over being replayed.
And that's what he's pointing out, this two-tiered policing system.
That's why we did those, you know, sort of journalistic missions.
The first where we came out after your arrest on that intersection where we came to stand with David.
And then little did we know, we'd be there two weeks later to stand with Ezra and take back our seats.
It's important to push back.
I'm so happy that people actually came.
A lot of people drove from, you know, if you haven't seen the reports yet, you should.
lot of people drove a couple of hours to come and stand there and take back the streets for all Canadians, that it's, you should be allowed to go there, practice journalism, or just be a citizen and stand on these sidewalks.
And if you're going to let people support and applaud and praise genocide and then arrest a journalist for capturing that, we're in some serious trouble.
Absolutely.
And you know what I found significant about Mr. Kerry making that pronouncement?
I'm assuming that was in the House of Commons, correct?
Looked like it, yeah.
Did you notice no heckles, no cat calls when he mentioned Ezra Levant by name, when he mentioned Rebel News by name?
That means, that indicates to me, Drea, that the opposition knows better, that they realize there is not a lot of public tolerance out there for A, turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to the pro-Hamas hate mongers,
and B, basically arresting a Jewish man in his own heavily Jewish community, outside his actual bank branch, by the way, that RBC unit there, for practicing journalism.
So even, you know, the opposition said, you know, we don't like rebel and we're doing everything we can, but we better just, you know, keep it quiet on this point.
So I think that tells us something, Drea, that the pendulum, it's swinging.
Yeah, the quiet part is being said out loud now.
We've been waiting so long.
Oh my goodness.
Canadians start saying what they actually believe and feel.
Yeah, isn't it amazing?
And you know what?
It's one victory after the other.
Donald Trump in five weeks will be in the White House again.
And, you know, the very top story we had of the fall of al-Sad in Syria, all the dominoes are beginning to fall, aren't they?
Hezbollah, the Hoodies, Hamas.
And mark my words, folks, I truly believe early in the new year, the really big domino to fall is going to be Iran.
They have overextended themselves, funding all these terrorists.
And we know where Donald Trump stands when it comes to sanctions under the Trump administration.
The U.S. boot was on Iran's neck.
It was essentially a failed bankrupt state.
And then the Biden administration came in, decided not to enforce the sanctions.
And suddenly Iran was a multi-billionaire yet again.
And look what it used its billions on to, you know, promote hate, death, terrorism.
Absolutely despicable.
I think, I really believe starting next year, it's the beginning of the end for that regime.
And speaking of regime change, if you believe the polls, and I surely do, Drea, I think come next fall, it is a Pier Polyev majority government.
So step by step, there are wins, you know, for normalcy, for people who are anti-woke, anti-political, correct, anti-rainbow mafia.
It's just happening.
And I couldn't be happier.
This is my Christmas present to last.
Yeah, the cognitive dissonance is going to be something hard to handle.
But you're right.
You know, usually they say, you know, don't look at the polls too closely.
But in British Columbia, in our election that just happened, boy, were they pretty accurate.
They showed it was going to be a neck and neck race and they weren't lying.
I think the polls are pretty accurate.
But you can also feel it.
Put the polls aside.
I don't know how your family is or your friends are.
I can just feel it with my, you know, liberal, typical liberal voting ones.
They don't like Trudeau anymore.
His time is done.
They're ready for change.
Everything costs too much.
Everybody's divided.
Everybody's angry.
People are done with Trudeau.
Yeah.
And you know, I mean, our boss, Ezra, he made mention of this the other day.
Even liberal pollsters like David Coletto, he is a liberal.
He is not reporting polls like the one you just saw with any kind of glee.
But, you know, as a pollster, you want to be accurate.
Otherwise, you have no credibility.
But he said something very profound.
It's not a matter of Canadians are tired of Trudeau.
It's not a matter of Canadians hating Trudeau.
And we can feel the hate when we go out to demonstrations, Adria.
It's a matter of they've tuned out.
So Trudeau's throwing everything, you know, against the wall.
A carbon tax rebate, don't care.
A GST tax holiday for two months.
Don't care.
Nothing is resonating.
It's time to go, but it seems that Trudeau's the only one in the room that doesn't realize that's the message.
And he's changed, if we remember the last election, the COVID election, he really campaigned on sort of identity politics.
You vote for this person because we're good and you don't vote for them because they're bad.
And he threw so many names out that people lost trust in him, I think.
Even if they were living in fear at the time, they realized later, you know, for example, people who were in support of the trucker convoy, they weren't the bad villains that Trudeau made this big deal about.
So I think they've just, everybody's been living through this slowly and built up this resistance and tolerance to Trudeau.
You know what, Drea?
That's a very important point about the 2021 election because let's go back in the DeLauren to 2015.
Trudeau won a majority government when it was 2019.
It was a minority government.
And then 2021 comes along.
And this is kind of where the polls didn't get it quite right, at least liberal internal polling.
It showed that Trudeau was within grasping distance of a majority government.
That's why you had an election called in just two years.
It had nothing to do with his BS pronouncements.
This is a historical election.
We need to have a mandate in terms of our COVID agenda, blah, No, it was a power grab.
He thought the time was right to go to the polls to restore his majority.
And oops, even with, good Lord, Aaron O'Toole in charge, he failed to do so.
So he's been obsessed with that majority ever since.
That's why he has this deal with Sellout Singh for the NDP propping up the liberals.
So the government, so it's a de facto majority.
But he's running out of racetrack.
I like Maserati Marxist.
Did you hear that?
What Pierre Polyev called Sing that?
That's my new.
You didn't see that?
Did we show people that?
Which one was this?
Pierre Polyev calls Jugmeet Singh Maserati Marxist now.
Well, you know what?
We'll have to fact check that with all due respect to Mr. Polyev because we know I believe Singh owns a BMW M3.
That's about 500 to 600 horsepower.
The last time we saw him at a presser in North York, Drea, he showed up in a Dodge Durango RT.
I believe that's a 390 horsepower SUV.
By the way, all of which are fossil fuel burning.
No EV, not even plug-in hybrid, folks.
Trudeau's Absent Presence00:08:28
No, no, no, no.
That's for us suckers.
You know, Trudeau and saying they want us to get a second mortgage on our house to get a car that's unaffordable and something that we don't really want and probably doesn't really perform that well, especially on cold days.
No, no, no.
But in the meantime, they'll stick to good old-fashioned fossil fuel eight-cylinder engine vehicles.
Drea, I can't stand the hypocrisy.
It's so bad.
All the gas-guzzling SUVs that they go around in and stuff.
Half the time they're not even in that.
It's a decoy.
It's bad.
Unbelievable.
And speaking of Notre Dame, I see we have Notre Dame reopening.
This is the Notre Dame.
I'm unemparised, folks, amid rising threats to Christianity.
Oh, golly, why would that be?
Anyways, let's check out this teaser.
Sheila Gunn-Reed for Rebel News, and I'm here in Paris.
I'm here for the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral after its very suspicious fire in April of 2019.
My friend Alexa Lavoie is behind the camera and she's acting as a bit of a French language Sherpa for me.
We're here for the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral to help offset the cost of our trip here and to see all of our journalism from on the ground in Paris.
Please go to Notre DameRestored.com.
Now, for those of you who are following along with our coverage, you are going to see independent journalism you won't see anywhere else.
We're going to ask the pilgrims and the people of Paris what the reopening of this 800-year-old cathedral means to them.
We're also going to ask them if they buy the official narrative that it was just a suspicious fire that may have started in two different places simultaneously that ignited oak timber that is nearly impossible to ignite.
We're on our way to the cathedral.
However, we can't get there because there are these anti-terrorism barricades and police everywhere.
They're just lining the streets.
They're blocking the streets.
So for us to get close to the cathedral, we're going to have to go on quite a little bit of an 11-minute walk.
let's go security is so heavy of course for the reopening of the cathedral because there are over 50 heads of state on their way here today It's Saturday right now where the official opening ceremony takes place.
Tomorrow, the.
You know, Dre, let's pick it up on what Sheila just mentioned there.
More than 50 heads of state, including President-elect Donald Trump, he was there, including, I don't know if you call this a head of state or not, but Quebec Premier François Lagaud was there.
Noticeable by his absence was Justin Trudeau.
And the official excuse is a scheduling conflict.
He had to be available in Montreal on Friday for the École Polytechnique vigil commemorating the 35th anniversary of that horrible massacre.
Are you buying that?
I'm not buying it because Sheila was there on Saturday.
I think that's when the heads of state came.
And, you know, Trudeau's not like one of us.
He doesn't have to look at Air Canada and be worried about connecting flights and lining up.
He has his own, he has his own ride.
He hops aboard, you know, the Canadian version of Air Force One and he's there lickety split.
Could it be, could it be that, you know, the idea of a church that was almost incinerated, that's not a big deal for Trudeau.
We know it's not a big deal when it comes to his friend Gerald Butts.
He completely understood in 2022, what was it, something like 80 churches across Canada being vandalized and incinerated.
That's my theory, Drea, because I'm not buying the scheduling conflict.
I don't think it's theory.
I think it's fact that he doesn't really care that much about burning churches.
I think when he said that he understood that the church burning spree in our own country was around 20 churches, it's since gone to over 100.
And I don't think he's made a comment ever since.
So it's been another 80-odd sum where he's been silent.
So yeah, you're right.
He's probably not going to fly in his private jet to go support something like that.
800 years.
Wow.
And to have so much history be under attack.
And we're still seeing that in Canada, not the 800 years, but this whole attack on Christian, the Christian religion, the Christian values, the Christian society is widespread.
Many people don't realize that for many years, Christianity has been the most persecuted type of religion in the world.
And that hasn't changed for many years.
And I would say it's getting worse because now it's happening in places like where Alexa and Sheila are.
And of course, Canada, too.
Yeah, I totally believe that.
I believe if, for example, there was a Muslim mosque of equal significance to Notre Dame that had almost burnt to the ground, if there was a Hindu temple of equal historical significance, Trudeau would be there.
You better believe it and probably wearing a costume at that.
But when it's, you know, Notre Dame, it's a little too Christy, you know, for Trudeau.
And the progressive left puts all the typical discreditable, you know, descriptors on Christianity, such as imperialist, colonialist, et cetera.
So it plays into, well, their deep down hatred for the Western world, to be quite frank.
So I am 0% shocked that he wasn't there.
And, you know, I think what puts an exclamation on it, Drea, is you know Trudeau loves getting together with world leaders for photo ops, right?
Oh, look who I'm with.
Hey, and how about this?
And look at my socks.
But you know what?
Even that, even that wasn't enough bait to get him over to Notre Dame.
What a disgrace.
Yeah.
And look how wide I can stand so I look the same height as the other person.
That is the weirdest thing.
And there are, like, if you look it up, there are at least like five different times where he does that.
He practically does the splits.
He can, like, I guess not embarrass the other person, but he just looks so embarrassing.
Like, how many ways can Trudeau embarrass us on the international stage?
Yeah.
There we go.
Like, look at this.
Does he not realize that people can see his whole body?
What's you know, Drea?
I guess, you know, the thought is there.
I don't want to tower over my foreign counterpart, but I got to be honest.
At every press conference I've ever attended, every photo op, every ribbon cutting ceremony, and the list goes on, I have never seen anyone, anyone assume that posture to try to make themselves shorter.
Nobody does this.
Nobody real does this.
I mean, would Trump ever do something like that?
Even if he was towering over, he would never do that.
Like, too bad, you know?
Yeah, maybe Trudeau, instead of, you know, doing the splits, maybe he should bring, I don't know, platform shoes to the host.
So that might equal the disparity, but that is just absolutely shocking.
Homeless Encampments Crisis00:11:27
Speaking of shocking, well, Mayor Olivia Chow, she's discussing on how Ontario mayors are complaining about increasing homeless encampments.
Oh, golly, I can't wait to hear what Her Honor has to say about this one, Drea.
At least she has clothes on.
I don't want to comment on people's intention, but I do hear and see the desperation of many mayors across Ontario.
I read their numbers.
We're on a WhatsApp group together.
And every day they're saying, oh my God, what are we going to do?
It's getting cold, you know.
And they have photos of people in tents in their city.
And it's growing and growing and growing.
And if you look at the there are some, because we are not single tier, we are, well, we are single tier.
And a lot of the municipalities are two tiers, right?
So it's the mayor that, but the provincial dealing with shelters are upper tier for them.
So it's the upper tier, sorry to get into weeds on this, versus a single tier.
So some of the mayors just don't have the financial capacity to do what needs to be done, right?
We are trying our best.
We still are not nowhere near enough because you're seeing tents out there.
We are reducing them as much as we can.
But as the rent rises, you are seeing these folks in Daily Bread Food Bank.
You look at the dramatic increase of the use of Daily Bread Food Bank and the number of young people that are in our shelter right now, right?
These are kids.
To quote Kirk Douglas in the throes of dementia or Alzheimer's, what are you saying?
You know, Drea, I understood maybe 30% of that answer.
Oh, please give me an early Christmas gift.
Please tell me what she was trying to say.
Okay, well, you have a more eloquent quote.
I was going to quote Billy Madison where he's like, he's like, we are all now, I think he says, dumber for having listened to what you just said.
Like, that's the way I felt.
Like, what's happening?
And, you know, it's not that hard to make sense when you're talking about such a pertinent issue.
This issue has been going on for a long time.
So the fact that she can't even string a sentence together about it is quite concerning.
I was trying to find a link.
She did mention that there's a lot more youth in the shelters.
We're seeing that out here in BC.
And I was going to try to find that.
Our food banks are providing in BC a higher rate than normal to youth.
It's actually youth walking up and getting the food, which is so sad.
It'd be nice if we had mayors and premiers who are able to articulate why that matters.
But again, if we see change in 2025, I wonder how much can be done in this area and how quickly.
Well, Drea, you nailed it.
The missing from Olivia Chow's diatribe was why?
Why are we seeing this spike?
And I can tell you by going to some homeless encampments, and it's truly heartbreaking.
But there are, I think, the two core demographics at these homeless encampments are people who are substance abusers.
Okay.
The other contingent are mentally ill people.
Yeah.
And we, I don't think the solution for substance abusers is to open up so-called safe injection sites so you just prolong their misery.
I like what Daniel Smith is doing in Alberta, rounding up people under threat of going to jail, being put in dorms, learning all the basics over again, budgeting, how to wash clothes.
I know it sounds crazy, but you've got to start from scratch with so many of these people.
As far as the mentally ill, we are now seeing the bitter fruit of our experiment going back to the 60s and 70s when we shut down mental asylums and we deinstitutionalized people.
And the feeling was, as long, you know, we've made incredible pharmaceutical advancements, as long as they take their meds, they'll be okay.
Well, you know what?
That's a big if.
And you have those people.
And if, you know, if people want to get nasty with me, oh, mental asylums, what century are we living in?
I'm sorry.
For their protection and ours, that was the best place to be.
And really, where would you rather be?
In an institution where there's central heating, three square meals, some counseling to try to address the mental illness or to be in a tent in minus 28.
Like, really?
Is that what the left thinks compassion is these days?
You're so right.
It is mostly people with what they call co-occurring disorders, mental health and addiction.
And when you're in mental health, it's so easy for the cycle of addiction to continue.
And we're not doing enough there.
In British Columbia, you know, there's the whole debate over having involuntary care.
You mentioned facilities being shut down.
Riverview, our mental health hospital, it's just movie after movie over there.
That's all they're doing is filming it for Hollywood instead of getting people off the streets and the help they need.
And we're seeing the outcome of it.
Of course, I can't jump the gun and say everybody's dealing with mental health in these situations.
But just in recent weeks, we had our mass stabbing out here in BC.
I shared a link of that.
Just, I think a day or two before that, a judge was just attacked outside of the courthouse, even though she was walking with security.
That's, I guess, what happens.
They get escorted with security.
She was physically attacked.
You know, so people are losing it.
And in British Columbia, we're like, here's your safer supply.
You're good to go.
We broke the stigma.
Yay.
Yeah.
Where's the safe part?
And I can tell you too, Drea, unfortunately, because of Canada being what it is after almost a decade of Trudeau, there are people who are out on the street.
I mean, I met a few in Hamilton when we were filming a homeless encampment there.
The juxtaposition was amazing.
These homeless tents at this beautiful public park right next to a marina with yachts that undoubtedly cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
But here's the thing.
We know there's now 2 million people in Canada, 2 million relying on food banks.
We know some of these people being recipients of food banks, well, they were actually donors to the food bank system just five or six years ago, which is terrifying.
And why don't we throw on that point a clip, Polyev to Trudeau?
Stop adding inflationary spending that balloons the cost of living, because that is the other part of the equation of keeping people in their homes or apartments as opposed to living in a tent in a public park.
Crime, chaos, drugs, and disorder now spill into our once safe streets with rampant repeat offenders out killing, maiming, raping, and decimating our communities, our once safe and tranquil communities.
Hate crimes are up 256% with church burnings, fire bombings of synagogues, and attacks and other place of worship now out of control.
With all this damage, with everything that Justin Trudeau and the NDP Liberals have done to make life more costly and dangerous, it would be unrealistic for me to ask them to improve the situation in their upcoming fall economic update.
So I have a more realistic request.
Actually, it's more of a plea.
Stop.
Just stop.
Stop adding inflationary spending that balloons the cost of living.
Stop your carbon tax hikes.
Stop taxing home purchases.
Stop adding dangerous and irresponsible debt that threatens our social programs.
Everything you're doing, Justin Trudeau, just stop doing it in this fall update until common sense conservatives can start fixing everything you broke.
There will be a carbon tax election.
And in that election, there will be a very simple choice.
Either we go ahead with quadrupling the carbon tax to 61 cents a liter, driving hundreds of billions of dollars and millions of jobs to America and driving our people to starvation, or common sense conservatives who will axe the tax.
That's why it's a carbon tax election.
61 cent a liter carbon tax with the NDP liberals, zero carbon tax with the conservatives.
He is so right, Drea.
And instead, what do we get from Trudeau?
We get this thing kicking in a week Saturday, or actually this Saturday coming.
What am I saying?
The GST two-month break on, well, not everything, but some things.
And by the way, if you talk to independent businesses, especially the mom and pa businesses out there, this is a nightmare.
Maybe the likes of Walmart and Costco, they've got entire departments that can quickly with technology figure out what's tax-free and what isn't.
But here's what I say to you, Drea: go to a dollar shop and just walk down one aisle and look at all the number of SKU items there.
And some are going to get the break, others aren't.
To go through that hand by hand, that is a nightmare.
And to think that it's only temporary, so you're going to have to go through this again come February.
And I honestly believe a lot of retailers, because the last thing you want to do, especially at this time of the year, can you imagine getting into an argument over 5% of the cash register over a toy or what have you?
They're just going to not collect the tax and cross their fingers that they don't get two months from now an invoice from the Canadian Revenue Agency.
Here's what you owe on GST, GST that was never collected because logistically it was too much of a hassle.
Radio Guard ACE Kit00:06:56
This is a stupid gimmick.
And by the way, Drea, this figure came out.
The average Canadian in this two months with this GST holiday, you're going to save $4.61.
Does that even get you the Grande coffee at Starbucks anymore?
I mean, I haven't been there for a while.
It doesn't even get you the Grande Tea.
Like, it's horrible.
Oh, my God.
What is this?
Yeah, it is so bad.
I think we have another ad read.
This is a very interesting one related to 5G.
So it says, I want to talk about the things that people are afraid to say out loud.
Can I get an amen?
Who is in control of America's nukes?
It's not Biden.
Meanwhile, we have Russian ships off the coast of Florida and full-blown wars in Ukraine and Israel.
The world is at its most unstable point since World War II.
And with nuclear weapons, the stakes are 10 times higher.
How do people like you and I stay safe?
Every prepper, are you guys a prepper?
Let us know in the comments.
Needs to have Radio Guard ACE, the only FDA-approved drug to treat radioactive fallout.
Only the feds had it until now.
That's why Rumble partnered with 5G Free, the only company in the world that has a supply of Radio Guard ACE and the ability to prescribe it prophylactically.
Get their radiation, well, I guess it's get your oh, get their sorry, get their radiation emergency kit with Radio Guard ACE, potassium iodide, Zoffrin, and Jeeger counter.
Sorry, someone's making fun of me.
I'm sure I said that wrong.
There's simply no other tool in your arsenal to protect against a radioactive threat.
Go to 5gfree.com, code studio, to save 15% and get your radiation kit now.
I am a prepper.
I'm a prepper.
I'm going to get this.
You know what?
I'm open to it.
Absolutely.
I think the scariest thing at the beginning of that ad read was doubt that it is Joe Biden in control of the nuclear codes.
But maybe it's scarier if Joe Biden is in control of the nuclear codes.
That's a good thing.
Perhaps that's a good person.
Oh, my goodness.
We do have a rebel grant.
It's not too late.
There's a few minutes left if you have something to say.
This is from Abelis SL, who donated $5.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Says Pierre Polyev will face extreme pressure to submit to all the demands of the dissident right.
Also, the regressive left opposes mental institutions because they accurately fear they will be in that.
Oh boy, Abelist, that might be, even though the year has, what, 22 days to go, that might be the line of the year for 2024.
Well, well said, my friend.
Yeah, you know, I'll tell you this, Drea.
Pierre Polyev, this isn't a one-term fix-up job.
This is, he's going to, it's going to be a generation to fix the decade worth of damage Trudeau has done.
And all I have to say, and I'm not being an apologist or a Pollyanna here, but even if Polyev keeps half the promises, this is scoring a home run, such as AX the carbon tax.
I think that is a day one thing that's going to happen, taking off the sales tax on new homes.
He has to, has to, in my view, defund the CBC because whether you're at a Polyev rally or a Maxine Bernier rally, the one single thing that brings the roof down is the promise to defund the CBC.
He cannot let that go by the wayside.
In fact, Drea, I have these fantasies of going down to Front Street when CBC has to auction off all its expensive equipment for pennies on the dollar.
Maybe then we can get in the game of getting those kind of cameras.
Who knows?
But honestly, that's my feeling on the Polyev mandate.
What say you, Drea?
I agree.
And again, Rebel News is here to hold him accountable.
But you're right.
No matter what, we have to start stepping in the right direction instead of continuing to go where we are.
And I don't think it's an easy job, but those promises that you mentioned, he has to uphold.
And I want to see him uphold this Canada First promise that he's giving out.
Oh, of course.
I almost forgot about that.
And, you know, the thing is, what Drea just said, folks, you know, holding him accountable, some of the feedback we got from viewers in 2019 and 2021, whether it was Sheer or O'Toole, was, why are you criticizing them?
What are you pro-Trudeau now?
No, no, no, no.
We're not their public relations firm.
We're journalists.
We are like the umpire behind home plate.
We're calling balls and strikes.
So if Aaron O'Toole was doing all the right things and in the beginning, he started out, they had a terrific two weeks and then Trudeau had a horrible two weeks.
And then O'Toole became a quasi-liberal.
I'm sorry.
We got to call that out.
That's our job.
And I would like nothing more than to applaud Pierre Polyev and the conservatives, but they've got to give us the tangible policies for us to applaud in the first place.
Absolutely.
The state choice media, you know, for so long would give Trudeau the comfiest questions.
That's not what you want from Rebel News, and that's what you're not going to get.
We report to the public and we ask the questions the public wants to hear, period.
100%.
Anyhow, well, Drea, it is already a couple minutes after 2 o'clock Eastern Standard Time.
So we've used up all our racetrack.
I want to thank everybody for making a donation.
That is how we keep the lights on here.
I want to thank Drea for getting up extra early because, you know, she's in BC.
While we're having lunch in the East Coast, they're just tucking into breakfast out there.
So my thanks to you, Drea Humphrey.
It was a pleasure.
I will be back here, I believe, with Sheila Gunread, our chief reporter, on Friday, 1 o'clock Eastern Standard Time.
