REBEL ROUNDUP dissects Mark Carney’s divisive Kelowna energy plan—$105M wasted on WEF-linked KTDI—while exposing Trudeau’s 11-week Parliament prorogation to shield Liberal leadership corruption. Alberta’s Danielle Smith counters U.S. tariffs with diplomacy, calling Canada’s steel and aluminum vital for defense, but contrasts Trudeau’s absence in Europe amid economic threats. Record immigration defies promises, and BC’s $10K "transgender discrimination" fine sparks claims of legal weaponization. The episode warns: unchecked executive power risks tyranny, and mainstream media distracts from crises like fentanyl trafficking while ignoring key negotiations. [Automatically generated summary]
Hopefully you're having a good time with this podcast, but I guarantee a better time would be coming to Alaska with me, Drea Humphrey, and my other Rebel colleagues.
You've got to find out more at our special website, RebelNewsCruise.com, but it's taking place June 18th to June 25th, a vacation trip of a lifetime.
Again, that's rebelnewscruise.com.
I'll see you there.
Oh, hey, good morning, good afternoon, everybody.
Depending on which part of this beautiful country that you're in, my name is Sheila Gunread.
I'm the host of our weekly news and analysis show, Rebel Roundup.
And I'm joined by my friend and colleague, Tamara Ugolini out in beautiful Coburg, Ontario.
Tamara, how's it going?
Snow day for you guys, hey?
Yeah, I guess the first time in something like 30 years where all of these schools actually completely closed.
So normally on snow days, you know, the buses are canceled, but the schools are still open.
Not today, although it's not the snowstorm blizzard that anybody was anticipating.
Seems to be the usual here in Ontario where they announced this crazy snowstorm and then it's, you know, trickling.
I think Toronto got it more than we did, or maybe we're just used to it out here in the more rural communities.
But yeah, I, you know, given the ice threat and this rain, the freezing rain, that was more of a concern for me than the snow.
But we didn't get as much as I think as people were calling for.
But nonetheless, schools are closed.
Kids are enjoying a day at home and we're doing some puzzles and other games.
So it's always nice to see them kind of just taking it easy and hanging out, having a slow morning.
But we're here now on the live stream to bring you some of the most newsy pieces of the day.
Actually, sorry, Sheila, how are you doing out there on the western side of the world or of the country?
It's not a snowpocalypse.
We just have like snow and snow and snow, but we can sort of get caught up with it.
But it is again, like minus 25.
Although we don't get the lake effect snow.
You guys get lake effect snow.
So it's super heavy and super wet.
We just get like the snow that falls because it's so bitterly cold and it actually ends up being quite light and fluffy.
So it's real easy to push away.
I just, you know what?
I shovel with the snowblower or with the leaf blower because it's so light and cold that you can just sort of blow it off.
Oh, interesting.
Ours, so we got the snow and then it rained on top.
So it was heavy and wet and compacted.
And yeah, it's not nice, light, fluffy, playful snow by any means.
I'll be, it's not great for making snowmen, but I will be on TikTok later looking for clips of those new Canadians struggling with their first Canadian winter in Toronto and not realizing how to drive on ice or snow or how to make sure you're safe after a collision.
I don't know why I've seen so many clips of new Canadians experiencing their first winter and then like getting out of the car after they get stuck and standing in the lane of traffic.
And I'm like, please don't do that.
When we give you your driver's license when you come to Canada, no, we have to teach people all about like safe habits on the road in the wintertime.
It seems like it's a huge problem, especially in places like Toronto.
Yeah, well, the 401 corridor is horrible, especially with transport trucks.
And I know I think there was a CBC investigation that showed that some of the new Canadians were coming into the country and then capitalizing on the ease of licensing.
And so one person would be licensed and then like families and cousins or whoever would also get in on the license Stream and they would be out on the roads without having actually undergone the testing and the licensing process.
And it just makes for complete chaos because you do have to adjust your driving to the weather conditions.
And if you've never experienced the black ice potential during Canadian winter, then you're in for a surprise.
But it's not just you, it's everybody in and around your vicinity.
So really concerning things to look out for if you're out on the roads these days in Ontario, which the GTA is the hub for immigration.
I think we take on something like 50 to 60% of all new Canadians.
Black Ice Concerns00:04:01
So it's, it speaks for itself.
Yeah, I experienced this sort of this effect firsthand with Ed, our cameraman who was working with us in Davos.
And Ed's from the UK.
And we rented a car because we wanted to go to the airport to get some pictures of the elites and their low-carbon footprints.
And I was like, Ed was like, you know what?
I'll drive.
And I'm like, okay, are you okay to drive on this side of the road?
I should have asked him, are you okay to drive on the ice?
Because I was like, Ed, why are you driving like that?
He's like, oh, Sheila, the ice.
I'm like, oh, Ed, you have, come on.
But then I would cut him a little slack.
I was graceful because I realized that he's from the UK and icy roads are not something he has to live with.
And I thought, oh, God, we just did this, but with like a million people in Canada, that's not great.
But anyways, we should tell everybody what we're doing and how they can get involved because we have a new old way that people can get involved.
Something Tamara and I have been working very hard on lately to bring back to you who prefer to consume Rebel News in that way.
So we are currently streaming on Rumble, which is a great free speech platform.
We know a lot of you prefer to watch us over there.
And if you want to watch us completely uncensored and get stories you won't see anywhere else, you have to watch us on Rumble.
Rumble is great because they have stood by Rebel News for a very long time since the beginning, since we migrated a lot of our content over there.
And they allow you to support our work through something called a Rumble rant.
That's your paid chat.
If it's over the $5 US cutoff, we are obligating ourselves to read it on air.
If your chat is below the $5 US cutoff, we'll do our best to read it on air if time allows.
Now, I have to, we've been running the streams for an hour and a half lately, but I have to jump off right at the end of the hour because I'm covering a federal court hearing where the Justice Center is appealing the prorogation of parliament, trying to send our politicians back to work.
Now, if you are watching us on YouTube and there are 1.7 million sets of your eyeballs over there, we have worked hard to not abandon you over there.
Tamara and I and other members of the Rebel News team have done a careful examination and done our best to get Rebel News remonetized over there.
So once again, if you want to leave a super chat, you can do that now too on YouTube.
I know some of you don't like the censorship over there.
Neither do we, but a lot of you are accustomed to the systems of YouTube and it just seems to be your preferred method of viewing and consuming.
And we realize that.
So if you are watching us on YouTube, we are remonetized there.
You can leave us a super chat and you will going forward have times where we might have to cut the stream because we are talking about stuff that is a little too truthy for YouTube.
So just know that that might happen in the future.
And that's it.
Let's get into the news of the day.
Yeah.
So breaking news, Rebel has been remonetized on YouTube.
And so we'll see if that is fruitful in the coming days, weeks, and we're going to be able to do that.
And who knows?
Who knows how long that's going to last, right?
Exactly.
You know, they have, they seem to have loosened their censorship noose, so to speak.
Yeah.
I think that's the Trump effect.
I think that's the Trump effect.
We're seeing that happen on Facebook, too.
So we'll see.
Again, though, you know, could be very short-lived.
So if you like us over on YouTube and you want to support us, I don't know, do it now while you still go on over to Rumble and we will be there indefinitely.
Always.
We'll try out this new YouTube remonetization for the time being and see how it goes.
Okay, so we'll just get right into the swing of things.
Carney's Green Energy Plan00:05:58
More 51st state talk and the fentanyl crisis.
So liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney has been on his little tour and he made a stop in Kelowna.
I think this was yesterday, where he takes aim at the U.S.
So this article here comes from Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows News.
And it notes here that he, Mark Carney drew cheers and applause from a crowd of more than 300 party faithful during a quick stop in Kelowna on Tuesday morning.
So sorry, this was actually, yes, so yesterday.
I don't know, the picture to me here looks like perhaps there wasn't 300 people, but maybe they were just coming and going.
And one of the biggest cheers came when he addressed the U.S. tariff threat.
He says, in a crisis, plan beats no plan.
Okay.
We have a plan for Canada that is going to deliver the strongest economy and ride out the Americans until they come back to the table.
I'm already, there's a lot of yellow and red flags here for me.
He says Americans have lost their way and have forgotten about the big hits and squeezes on the middle class.
I think that's the exact class that Trump and all of his executive orders are trying to bring back and reignite and help and assist by bringing manufacturing home, by cutting the bureaucratic bloat and waste through the Doge, the new Doge Department of Government Efficiency overseen by Elon Musk.
I mean, there's all these things that Trump is doing and handling and implementing to help the middle class.
And so this isn't, I don't think, going to hit the U.S. where it hurts, as Carney's alleging so much as it's going to affect Canadians.
We have a clip here, though, where Carney says point blank that he is going to abuse the emergency powers of the federal government to build green energy projects and take on the Americans.
Look at this.
Yep.
Use all of the powers of the federal government, including the emergency powers of the federal government, to accelerate the major projects that we need in order to build this economy and take on the Americans.
Look at that smirk.
Yeah, I was one of the rare, I see now that Canada Proud has picked it up, but I was one of the rare people on this planet who was remotely interested in what Mark Carney was saying when he was in Kelowna.
I braved that appearance despite my fears that he would be draining my life force with his monotony.
Well, Moneta Mark was talking in Kelowna and he was talking about, you know, like we need all these like green projects to insulate us from the Americans.
And you can really see the mark momentum in that room.
Everyone's like, oh, like extremely undercaffeinated people.
But he just sort of thought it was the most clever thing he ever said that he would, he said, use, but it would be an abuse to use the emergency powers of the federal government to push forward these green energy projects.
And then he turns and sort of smirks at the camera because he thinks it's the cleverest thing he's ever said and to take on the Americans, not, you know, like fight the threat of tariffs, but to actually like take on the Americans, the people themselves, which I thought was quite an odd thing to say, but excessively tone deaf.
Kelowna is a very conservative place, by the way.
It's the interior of BC, which may as well be Alberta.
And he's telling them that these people, a lot of them participated in the Freedom Convoy, which was resulted in the invocation of the government's emergency powers illegally.
And he's promising to disregard all that and do it all again, this time so that we can have, I don't know, tariff lockdowns, climate lockdowns.
Like, what's next, Mark?
What are you going to do?
Yeah, I was going to say, enjoy your carbon lockdowns, everyone, where you'll stay home and you'll be happy.
It sounds like Trudeau is, we have, you know, we've reused this clip so many times.
I don't know if it's handy, but I'm sure most of our viewers have seen it, where Trudeau is saying in front of a group of old liberal women that he loves or he admires rather China's basic dictatorship.
And this is just that kind of recycled.
It's that 2.0, I think, where, you know, you're going to give people the harm, the hammer of a totalitarian regime by utilizing emergency powers to push forward your ideological goals and your ideological agendas.
It's China's basic dictatorship 2.0.
Melissa Lanceman, the conservative deputy leader, had another little six-second clip here, but maybe we'll watch the clip first and then I will read you what she wrote here.

You know, part of it, we got to respect.
Look, fentanyl is an absolute crisis in the United States.
Opioid Crisis and Gender Neglect00:07:18
It's a challenge here, but it's a crisis there.
And us doing what we can to help them with that is absolutely appropriate.
Yeah, I don't know that us doing what we can to help them is appropriate.
It's literally taken Trump to threaten devastating our economy and take over our country for the liberals to take action.
And also note here that Carney is a leadership candidate.
He's not the prime minister.
He has no mandate to do any of what he's talking about.
He's vying for leadership.
If he wins leadership and if our government, if there's not a forced election, depending on how this law, there's so many moving parts here in Canada when we currently have no sitting federal government.
I don't know if he could be placed into the prime minister's role without an election.
And that would be really weird and extremely undemocratic to see.
It will happen.
It happened in Alberta.
Happened with Premier Jim Prentiss.
He won the leadership of the PC party, which was the governing party after Allison Redford fled in disgrace.
I think she went off to the United Nations.
And Jim Prentiss became our unelected premier, at least until we went to general election.
So it does happen.
There's some precedent for it.
That it's a quirk of our parliamentary system.
But just on the topic of what Jim, or Jim, of what Mark Carney was saying there, in of all places, Kelowna.
Kelowna is absolutely hard hit by the opioid crisis because it's in the interior of BC, because it is one of those places for your drug addicts from the prairies to make their way to the favorable climate in the downtown east side of Vancouver.
They get a lot of transient opioid addicts there.
And I haven't seen the data yet for 2024.
But when Mark Carney was making these remarks, I pulled up the data for Kelowna's opioid poisonings in 2023.
And they saw a massive increase.
You know, like as the government was relaxing restrictions on fentanyl and saying, like, oh, maybe we should give this out to people.
They, what was it?
In 2023, they broke records.
According to the 2023 BC Coroner Service report, 101 people died due to drug, they call them unregulated.
So that doesn't even factor in the ones that are regulated, like the government issued opioids in the last year.
And that's a significant increase from 84 deaths in 2022.
So the government relaxed restrictions on opioids and then more people died.
And Kelowna, if you've been there, it's a problem.
It's a real problem.
So for Mark Carney to say that this is just, you know, this is no big deal, you should not be saying that in all of all places, Kelowna, because Kelowna would love to have Alberta's drug policy because those people are very much like Albertans in their voting habits.
Unfortunately, they are governed by the crazy people in Victoria.
Yeah, and that ties into the comments that Melissa Lanceman posted here on X, where she says there have been over 49,000 overdose deaths.
Now that's all of Canada from opioids since the Liberals came to power.
This guy lives in a different reality.
He simply doesn't get what's been going in nearly every corner of this country.
It's not a challenge.
It's also a crisis.
And so similarly, Sheila, I went and looked at any updated stats for the entire country.
And this includes up to, I think, October 2024.
There's an average of 21 deaths every single day in Canada across the country of opioids.
And this, you know, this data isn't fulsome.
It doesn't include some jurisdictions, some provinces, some of their reportings delayed or what have you.
But there was a total of 49,105 opioids.
They call them opioid toxicity deaths because overdoses is stigmatizing, I guess.
From 2016 until June 2024, 80, sorry, 72% of them are among males, young males, aged 30 to 39 years.
Men in the prime of their lives.
These should be men earning, buying houses, having kids, being husbands and fathers.
These are the healthy, productive years of our young men.
These are fathers being snatched from their families.
And Mark Carney thinks it's no biggie.
This is the product, I would say, of the stigmatizing of toxic masculinity, right?
Making men feel like they're terrible, I don't racists or misogynists for wanting to be the man of a household, for wanting to be a provider, a protector.
This is what you get when you tell men that they need to be superior and lay down and stop with any form of masculinity, and that it's toxic to be a man who wants to have those things.
So, this, I, I, sorry, go ahead.
Sorry, I was just going to jump in.
This also, uh, to build on your point, this is also the lack of prioritization of men's mental health in this country.
Um, during the pandemic, uh, by the way, men who uh exhibit rates of suicidality, the reason they give for having those thoughts, and I would suggest to you that opioid addiction is a slow suicide, it only ends one of two ways: you get cleaner, you die.
And so, uh, anyway, the reason men exhibit those thoughts self-reported is because they do not feel like productive providers.
It's usually financial stress that drives men to suicidal thoughts and suicidal ideation.
And I think opioids are just the slow version of suicidal ideation.
And think about what happened during COVID: men were laid off, they were sent home, they racked up debt, it caused devastation in families.
They could not be the providers of their that their biological imperative calls them to be.
And then they turn to opioids and then they die.
And a lot of this is on the government, just not just their drug policy, but their COVID policy and then their lack of prioritization of men's mental health and wellness while we go through the culture shift into worrying about gender nonsense all the time.
Mainstream Media Questions?00:14:41
Yeah, absolutely.
And so all of this is in response to the fact that Canada has porous borders.
Trump's threatening these tariffs.
We have our government, despite the fact that Canadians have been shedding a light and asking for this to be curtailed, but we have this fentanyl problem, which Carney thinks is more of a challenge than an actual crisis.
And so you have some this new fentanyl czar being appointed by Justin Trudeau, who is a now resigned prime minister, still running the country, not as liberal leader anymore.
Anyway, so he has appointed Kevin Brousseau as the new border and fentanyl czar.
And he has an interesting connection here to digital ID.
So he previously endorsed a globalist surveillance project, which was done with partnership of the World Economic Forum, Canadian government, some of our airlines, Air Canada, the Justin, or sorry, the Trudeau Airport in Montreal, and the Toronto Pearson Airport in Toronto, obviously.
But this is a now deleted social media post from him dating back to June 2019.
Thrilled to see the official launch of KTDI.
He called it a groundbreaking collaboration between, which also included the Dutch government, Transport Canada, and the World Economic Forum.
The Known Traveler Digital Identity, like I said, acronymed KTDI, was a digital credentialed system designed for international travelers.
It never launched despite a $105 million budget allocation for the 2021-2022 fiscal year.
And the report kind of goes on to explain a little bit more about the boondoggle that was this digital ID project that our new border and fentanyl czar was a huge fan of and endorsed.
And then I wanted to point to the announcement where he's announced as the fentanyl czar from February 11th from the prime minister's office.
I think I forgot to share this link in here.
But anyway, it goes on to stay, you know, he has a long career.
Kevin Broso has a long career with the RCMP and he has all these connections and public safety, intelligence, et cetera, et cetera.
And then I watched the, they had an announcement yesterday with public safety minister Bill Blair and they really didn't say much of anything.
I think we might have a small clip of it to share with you.
But, you know, basically, from what I could hear, they're just bringing everyone to the table and having a bunch of discussions right now.
Oh, is this with James Blair, White House Deputy Chief of Staff?
Yeah.
No.
Bill Blair.
I was like, did they wake Bill Blair up?
They pull the Afghan off him, take him out of his slippers and dust the dust off him and have him do something?
I guess not.
No, but we will get into James Blair in a minute.
Yeah.
Pretty tight deadline giving that tariffs could be put back in place on or put in place on March 4th.
I'm hoping to be able to give an intensity to the work being carried out by thousands of men and women in this country and the United States trying to deal with the real public safety and national security crisis that is fentanyl.
Bringing that integrated approach, bringing the teams together, ensuring the collaboration, ensuring the communication is happening at officials level on both sides of the border in communities across the country.
Hi, Mr. Broso.
Thanks for taking questions.
I'm Jillian Piper with Global News.
My question to you is that we know that Canada already represents less than 1% of the fentanyl going into the United States.
Do you think we can realistically get that number to zero?
Getting the number to zero is in fact a goal and should be our goal.
If it's one pound, 10 pounds, we all know the amount of deaths that that possibly could represent.
This is a national security and a public safety crisis.
We should be focused on eliminating the scourge that is fentanyl in this country and in the United States.
And have you spoken with the scourge?
Mr. Holman about your appointment?
Are you planning to speak with him in the coming days?
I hope to speak with him soon.
In fact, I spoke with the ambassador Ambassador at the United States last night, and she and I talked about getting to DC very, very soon to be able to have those conversations.
I've already, of course, you know, spending some time here.
It does not press her.
Does not inspire confidence.
Like, I look at the people making an impact on the fentanyl issue.
For example, Mike Ellis, Alberta's public safety minister.
If you really wanted to make a difference, you would have, if I were Trudeau and I actually wanted to do something, I would have taken somebody from a jurisdiction that the Americans like, Alberta,
and somebody who has experience in policing, Mike Ellis, former cop, who is the public safety minister, who is dealing with border issues from a place that is taking a zero toleration approach to fentanyl and a treatment approach to the drug crisis that's happening.
This is the guy I would have tapped if I wanted to impress the Americans and stave off tariffs, but they didn't.
They hired a career bureaucrat from the RCMP in Ottawa that has overseen the explosion of fentanyl in this country.
Yeah, exactly.
And if you, if we kept listening there, one of the journalists asks, oh my gosh, and I was just banging my head.
Why did you pick the title czar?
And nowhere in the press conference, which again spanned almost 16 minutes, did they ask anything about, hey, what about the ports of entry where there are no police?
What's the plan of attack on these ports that don't have any security or surveillance where you can just walk over the border?
What about the fentanyl precursors, right?
Because fentanyl requires all these other ingredients to be manufactured in the country.
What about all those ingredients coming in separately?
How are we monitoring and trying to curb that border issue and then those crossings over?
Because it's not just fentanyl specifically.
It's all the ingredients that make it up.
And no one in there asked about government safe supply.
We know that governments regulated and produced and taxpayer funded safer supply of these powerful opioids are being diverted out into the streets.
And then that is being utilized to fund more fentanyl purchasing power by addicts on the street.
So you don't have a mainstream media who's asking any of these relevant, pertinent questions.
They're asking, oh, how did you come up with the title czar?
Right.
And why did you, why are you spelling with CZ and not TS?
Is that an anti-Russian sentiment?
Yeah, like my questions would have been exactly yours.
Why aren't we marking the government-issued safe supply so that we can determine if it is indeed ending up in the hands of Canadians who are either trafficking it or ending up dead by it?
Also, what are we doing to deal with the infiltration of gangs into our point of our points of entry, but also our ports?
What are we doing to deal with that?
Because that's a huge problem.
That's how a lot of this stuff at monitored points of entry, that's how it's getting passed is the gangs have infiltrated there.
What are we doing about that?
There's just no curious questions.
They're worrying about if he is being influenced by Russian spelling.
How dare he.
So in similar news, we also have the Premier of British Columbia, which is really the, in many instances, ground zero of this drug crisis and the fentanyl crisis, David Eby.
He earlier remarked on Premier's frank conversation with James Blair, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff.
So we have a video here that I want to show you, share with our viewers a couple of tweets that are kind of funny in response to our mainstream media failures and spreading of misinformation.
Yeah, we had frank conversations about the 51st state comment where we underlined that that was a non-starter.
That was obviously consistent among all the premiers.
And for my part, just underlining how important it was to share information and concerns related to fentanyl on the border with the premiers as well.
There are enforcement actions that we can take to make sure that information is flowing.
If these are the key points of frustration for the president, we want to take action on those things too.

Yeah.
And then Colin DeMello, who is the president of the Queen's Park Press Gallery and also a correspondent, the Queen's Park Bureau chief correspondent with Global News.
He took to X to post, you know, he regurgitated E.B.'s remarks saying he had this frank conversation and he shared a few items with Trump, including willingness to engage, work on key areas of agreement, and that Canada would never be the 51st state.
And then that was reposted by James Blair, who said, and maybe we can show this on screen for our viewers: pleasant meeting with the premiers.
To be clear, we never agreed that Canada would not be the 51st state.
We only agreed to share Premier Eby's comments.
Further, we said the best way to understand President Trump's position is to take what he says at face value.
I mean, I am pretty sure he, yeah, he substantially outratioed DeMello, which is so funny to see because the mainstream media has been in absolute meltdown mode for the last few years, crying wolf about every time misinformation and how dare you make these claims.
And this is, you know, far-right conspiracy theory stuff.
And now we're seeing more and more how they are being caught in the misinformation spreading.
And it's becoming more and more kind of blatant and in your face.
And you have people from the U.S. side who are not holding back, right?
They're not afraid to call it, to call a spade a spade and tell people how it really is.
And I love to see that.
Yeah, I hope Canadian politicians are learning.
By the way, thank you, Elon Musk.
I can't believe your platform is free so that we can see the mainstream media in Canada being abused by their intellectual superiors in the federal government in the United States.
But I hope our conservatives here in Canada are learning a little something.
Treat the mainstream media like the enemies of you that they are, because they are.
Their lifeblood is Justin Trudeau and the subsidies he continues to give them.
We should consume their content with that in mind, and we should consider their questions to our politicians with that in mind as well.
Yeah, like, why did you choose the name czar instead of how are you going to appoint more port officers to ports of entry that don't have any?
I just, I'm not, yeah, where they could take their marching orders from, we can, we can speculate.
I also, I see stupid questions like that sometimes and I think, wow, that's a failing of the entire newsroom over there.
Because, you know, like if we're sending journalists to a press conference and maybe they don't have, okay, let's say it's about oil and gas and pipelines.
I will help you prep some questions.
I know a little bit about that stuff.
It's been my passion since I was a small child, the oil and gas industry.
And so when I'm sending a journalist or we're sending journalists or they're saying, Sheila, I want to go to this press conference, but I don't know all of the details.
We work together on questions.
First of all, we help them understand the issue and what's important to the people that you're asking the questions on behalf of, right?
Because we're not just asking our own hobby horse questions.
We think, we have to think about what you think as a Canadian who's not being well represented by the mainstream media.
What matters to you?
We want to ask those questions.
And so we work together to develop questions and learn the issues and talk about what matters.
I just think sometimes with these journalists, and maybe they're just fresh out of J school or whatever, but I think, do your editors, your editor-in-chief, your managing editor, do they not care about you?
Do they not like you?
Why did they sabotage you like this?
Yeah, who came up with this question and why and how?
Because my goodness, it is not real.
Help journalists.
Ask somebody to help you.
And hey, always, you can feel free to reach out, I guess.
I'm here to help.
Look, mainstream media, if you need some questions that you think regular people have about the oil and gas sector that you want to ask to our government overlords, DM me right now.
The DMs are open.
I will answer.
I want you to be better.
You know, I do.
I'm not keeping my expertise to myself.
I want to help you too.
On behalf of all Canadians, DMs are open.
Political Stickers and Petitions00:05:20
Yes.
Oh, my God.
I just asked for a world of trouble, didn't I?
We'll see.
Maybe make some good screenshots later.
Okay, we have Premier Danielle Smith telling reporters, meanwhile, in Washington.
You know what she thinks?
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Before we go to that, let's do a quick ad read to stay on Target because I have to sort of get out of here and go back to federal court.
We can't go long.
So I'll do the sticker pack ad read.
Do you want to do the two chats?
Sure.
Sounds good.
Okay.
And that one we have to be sort of careful because of YouTube's policies.
We'll just read it straight.

All right.

Thank you very much.
If Trump is smart, why doesn't he stop the rhetoric until after the election?
An NDP internal email today says a March 10th call.
Libs need the anti-Trump issue to win.
Why would Trump want a liberal win?
Yeah, send us that email.
I don't know if there's any way to vet that it is legitimate, but if there was an internal email today that says a March 10th election call, I think that would depend on whether or not the court case you're covering right now, Sheila, is successful, because otherwise, Parliament is officially prorogued until March 24th, I think it is.
And unless Trudeau feels, as you said, the spirit compels him, he, I think, will not be un-poroguing parliament without a court order to do so.
Yeah, it's wild.
He prorogues it for exactly 11 weeks so that they are able to run a liberal leadership campaign.
It just, what an abuse of a very easy ability to prorogue.
Like literally, you could just prorogue it by saying, we need to, we have legislation we want to introduce and move forward.
And so we're cutting this off and we're going to the next.
And that would have been enough.
But partisan political reasons may not be enough.
And if he can do it for partisan political reasons, that's an abuse of his position in the executive.
That means that the government can literally do whatever it wants.
And right now, government is supposed to be restrained by parliament.
However, if you can prorogue for any reason, then the government is actually in charge of parliament.
And parliament in our system is supposed to be sovereign.
It's a real bizarre pickle that we're in because the governor general has never once refused the ability of the government to prorogue itself.
So it's just a mess anyway.
Maybe before we say, maybe before we cut the stream, we can get a five-minute or just a few minute update from you of what's going on with that hearing because I think it's important.
AMT60 gives $5.
Tamara, please go on Amazon and order the book, Moving Beyond the C19 Lies, Restoring Health and Hope for Humanity.
Chapter 9 has new info about what's really in the novel injections.
It's shocking.
All right.
I'll have to check that one out.
I don't think that I've heard about it.
But I probably have already covered some of the things that's really in the shots.
You just won't find them on YouTube.
So there's one video.
It had, I think, almost 120,000 views on YouTube.
And we had to go back in and take it off because when we were seeking remonetization, anything that might, you know, hinder that process, we had to remove from YouTube completely, like not even just unless.
So I was so sad to see all those views just gone into the ether.
But anyway, a lot of people also don't see all of my reports.
So if you're wanting to make sure that you don't miss the reports that I do on these shots, go to no moreshots.ca.
That's the special website that we've dedicated to that coverage.
And if you sign up there, sign the petition there, that makes sure that you're in the database to always receive updates when new reports come out.
A Lot of Signatures00:03:16
So that's a very successful petition there.
And I've just been waiting because I'm like, well, Parliament's prorogued.
So if I deliver it to the Minister of Health now, he's not really, is he technically the Minister of Health?
And what good is that going to do?
So I'm just waiting to see what will happen on the political level here and whether or not we can have somebody to successfully deliver that to.
You know, even if, even not, you might be, we might be able to deliver it to different jurisdictions.
Like for sure, BC needs that one.
The future Doug Ford government in Ontario, their new health minister after that election, they're going to need one.
Saskatchewan, for sure.
So, all is not lost.
That is a big petition with a lot of signatures and a lot of Canadians who just want to be able to make their own medical decisions.
Okay, let's do the Rebel ad.
We'll talk about April's thing, and then let's get into Premier Smith acting very prime ministerial in Washington.
Canadians know the national anthem.
They stand in silence to remember those who died for this country.
But not every Canadian knows their rights and freedoms.
The Freedom Passport will change that.
It looks and feels like a Canadian passport, but contains the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in a portable, easy-to-read format.
The Freedom Passport.
Order one for yourself and for all the freedom lovers that you love at freedompassport.ca.
All right.
Let's just talk real briefly about an event coming up February 22nd, 2025 at one of the best places on the planet.
Of course, I'm talking about Church in the Vine in Edmonton.
It's with April Hutchinson, NHL legend Theo Fleury, and Rebel alumnus you know and love them, Adam Sos.
They're coming to Church in the Vine for fire and ice.
They're going to discuss April's fight for fairness in sports and her trajectory to become a Team Canada powerlifter and how that was all sidelined because of her advocacy of fairness.
That Saturdays, February 22nd, 2025, six o'clock, doors open, show starts at seven.
I'll be there because I will never miss an opportunity to hang out with my friends, pastors Tracy and Rodney.
Those of you who followed their SAGA, they reopened their church during COVID and they were slapped with an $80,000 administrative fine.
Now, thanks to you and your support of their legal challenge through the charity, the Democracy Fund, they were able to not just have their appeal heard, they successfully overturned the judgment against them and they were refunded the $80,000 so that they could use that money to do what they do best.
And that is shepherding to God's flock.
So anyways, that's April or sorry, February 22nd, 2025 with April Hutchinson, Theo Fleury, and of course, our friend Adam Sos.
For tickets, Canadiansfortruth.ca.
All right, that's that.
Let's get into Premier Smith.
Human Rights Tribunal Case00:14:56
Yes.
All right.
Okay, which one of us is going to be here of Premier Smith telling reporters in Washington that she thinks Canada and the U.S. can make a deal on steel and aluminum.
I think diplomacy is working.
I think that the fact that we got a 30-day reprieve was because we agreed to work on the cross-border problem of fentanyl.
I was pleased to see the federal government announced the fentanyl czar, and my administration has already been in touch with him to talk about how in Alberta we can lend to the success of those efforts.
So what I would say is what I've seen from this president is that he is prepared to make a deal.
We've made a deal on that.
I think we can make a deal on steel and aluminum by making very much the same argument that I've been making on energy and critical minerals.
We've won the argument that those raw materials are essential to American success.
It comes in, it makes value out of products.
It creates good American jobs.
It creates good American products that we buy.
Back same thing for aluminum.
They just do not make enough for their defense industry, their auto industry, and their critical needs.
So I think aluminum, we can make the very same argument.
And on steel, we buy as much steel products from them as they buy from us.
Oh, on USMCA, it has to be renegotiated.
We have to remember we've got two sets of tariffs.
This first tariff was about dealing with the Fentanyl crisis.
And I think that we have satisfied the president that we're working on that.
The second round of tariffs will come with the renegotiation of USMCA.
And I think the sooner we get a government with a four-year mandate, the sooner we can open that up and solve the broader range of tariff issues that we have.
Doug Ford just looking very bored and back in the corner there.
Yeah, look at these dudes standing there with their hands in their pockets while this conservative woman is running the room and dealing with Trump in a way that has been a success.
Like she's out there acting prime ministerial.
She's leading the front of premiers who are now like her having a good relationship with the Trump administration is exactly what you need when the premiers now are headed to Washington to deal with the Trump administration.
And where is our prime minister in the middle of tariff mania?
Oh, he's on a goodbye tour of Europe at some sort of AI conference after he resigned.
He's just making sure he milks the Canadian taxpayer for all they're worth with his luxury trips to Europe while our economy is under the threat of complete and total meltdown.
Thank goodness for Daniel Smith being there to do these things on the nation's behalf.
And burns a bunch of fossil fuels while lecturing all of us on climate alarmism rhetoric.
He's also here stating in this video, which I thought I saw this before, but maybe it's a new one.
There's not a snowball's chance in H-E-L-L.
I think that that is a flagged word now on YouTube.
Is it really?
Yes.
That Canada will ever be the 51st state.
I guess we should play it, but let's hope that YouTube doesn't flag.
Let's be very clear.
Conversations around a 51st state are a non-starter.
It's never going to happen.
But we have to take seriously what the president is saying and fold that into our thinking as we continue to stand up for Canada.
I think, as I've said unequivocally from the beginning, there's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state.
At the same time, from having worked with President Trump for over eight years now, I can tell you that we have to take seriously what he says and make sure we're responding appropriately.
And quite frankly, the response of Canadians over these past weeks has been inspiring as people have been there for each other.
People have been changing their vacation plans.
People have been looking at ways to buy Canadian, to support local businesses, to diversify their supply chains to places like Europe and Asia.
This is a response of Canadians who are saying, yeah, this is going to be tough, but we're going to double down on Canadian pride and standing up for each other.

I've been working with Trump for eight years.
Shree, how?
How?
By running your mouth about him every step of the way?
Like, Trump is a proud man.
Not only that, I feel like he makes notes about everybody who wronged him or said a cross word about them and then just waits, puts that in his pocket and waits till it's time to get them back.
And right now he's getting Trudeau back.
And yet he doesn't know how to shut his mouth.
It's a fascinating study in the inability to learn from one's mistakes.
And pointing out the complete ineptitude of our government to do things that benefit everyday Canadians across the board.
We want our government to take action against the fentanyl crisis.
We've been calling for judicial reforms to not let repeat offenders out on bail perpetually and to make our streets safe again.
I mean, in addition to a litany of other things.
But the government just repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly ignores Canadians.
And now it's taken Trump and these increasingly real threats to get them to take any of it seriously.
So yeah, thanks for showing up, Trudeau, just a little bit too late.
Speaking of areas where the government is inept and also a little bit too late.
And not doing what Canadians want, yeah.
And not doing what Canadians want, but also what's in the best interest of not only the Canadians, but in this case, the immigrants and the new Canadians trying to come into our country because we don't have the infrastructure, we don't have the resources, and we don't have the support for successful integration into this country.
And you have record numbers of newcomers saying, actually, we're better off in our home country.
So I think we're just going to go back.
That's how bad it is that you cannot get ahead.
You can't find a place to live.
You can't afford to eat.
And so many are just saying, you know, to heck with Canada.
I'm headed back to my country of origin.
This piece here comes from the National Post.
Trudeau government already missing targets on pledge to bring down immigration.
Sky-high population growth, not likely to change without aggressive reductions, finds this report.
Now it says, although admissions of international students have gone down dramatically in the interim four months, a new analysis by Desjardins finds that Canada is still accepting roughly the same amount of temporary foreign workers and permanent immigrants.
And so they say, Desjardins says, we remain skeptical that the government of Canada will be able to reach its lower target for emissions of newcomers.
And Desjardins added that the Trudeau government often seems to make promises that it fails to fulfill and that immigration reduction is a prime candidate for this.
They also make promises and put forward these absurd policies and implementations without the forethought of how this will work downstream in a year or two.
So this is just a fallout of their absolutely radical, nonsensical policies that are not in any sense of the word well thought out or executed.
We see that kind of that's a repeat offense by this government.
And so that wraps up our headliners.
Sheila, I know you're, oh, we have a super chat test.
Oh.
Guillotine test that gives $10.
Thank you very much.
Super test.
Awesome.
Thank you.
Thank you.
That's our first remonetized chat.
We should print that out and put it on the office boardroom wall.
Appreciate that very much.
Let's do one just story on the just ridiculous of Trudeau's Canada, and then we can quickly talk about what's happening in federal court.
Yes.
Do you want to do that?
Okay.
Sounds good.
From our friend Amy Ham.
BC Human Rights Tribunal awards $10,000.
BC Human Rights Tribunals seem to be the worst of the tribunals.
Awards 10k to trans person with hurt feelings.
And I'm going to be careful in my language to make sure that we don't.
Well, that super chat that we just got isn't the last one that we ever get.
It's a bizarre case of a landlord-tenant dispute that resulted in a huge fine, despite identity not even being a factor in the admission or in the eviction of the person.
That seems about right.
The BC Human Rights Tribunal is repeatedly just out of control.
Look what they're doing to us on behalf of Jessica Simpson, formerly known as another name that we can't say.
I was going to say, don't dead name.
Oh, this is so, yeah.
I see not a not a fan, but um, we'll do it for the monetization.
Um, this is just another case where the BC Human Rights Tribunal, these are completely, you know, these are not elected people, they're not uh representative at all of the true, they're not a true reflection of British Columbians.
Um, yeah, look at this: last month, the tribunal awarded ten thousand dollars to Terry Weeb, a transgender-identified female who uses they, them pronouns after Weeb's former friend and landlord.
So, this is not a problem with transphobia.
This was a former friend and landlord.
Kristen Olson said she would be uncomfortable, would be uncomfortable if Weeb underwent a gender-affirming double mastectomy.
Weeb, according to the ruling, asked Ms. Olson more than once if their tenancy would be affected if they got gender-affirming surgery.
Ms. Olson did not respond directly, but said she was uncomfortable with it.
What has this got to do with rent?
Despite the HRT ruling that Weeb's transgender identity was not a factor in the eviction, it still found that Olson had discriminated, causing an adverse impact on Terry Weeb's tenancy.
So, if you tell a friend that, hey, I don't, I don't think that's right for you.
I don't think you're going to be happy after you do this, and you have like a business relationship with this friend, that also will find you in front of the human rights tribunal in BC.
Apparently, they govern friendships now, is what I'm saying.
Yeah, this whole story is just absolutely bizarre.
Well, it says it right here: the whole case is bizarre.
Um, we wanted to evict uh Olson as early as 2017, not because of any transgender surgery stuff, but because of Web's increasingly volatile behavior, lack of appropriate boundaries, and making the property unsightly with a and also their irate and distraught behavior following a romantic breakup.
Olson testified that her tenant frightened her when Weeb screamed about how they would get back at their ex-girlfriend.
Um, and she said she wanted to move her mother onto the property.
So, this has absolutely nothing.
Yeah, this is crazy, great, craziness.
And if you don't have the right to get rid of an irate and distraught tenant who's making your property unsightly, so like probably destroying almost feels like the person's mentally ill, almost feels like that.
Yeah, I wonder about those comorbidities.
Um, this is this is the reason why this landlord wanted to uphold their right to keep their property safe for other tenants and in a neat and tidy state.
This is disturbing.
But it goes on here that there was a disturbing incident, and the article is pretty long here.
So that's a good, like, fulsome overview of what occurred throughout the duration of this tenancy.
And again, dating back to 2017 and the weaponization of the transgender issue by some of these individuals to get their way and to have their instability affirmed and validated.
That's exactly what just happened here in this case.
Yeah, I mean, it's that's a former friend who, in passing, said, I probably don't think doing that is going to be the greatest idea for you.
All of a sudden, it becomes an issue with their tenancy and the fact that they're damaging your property you're paying taxes on that you own and they are threatening people, which makes you wonder if they're safe to have in your home.
And then they want to move their mother in.
I mean, just I don't know why anybody wants to be a landlord these days.
I have no idea.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
It's not in your favor anymore.
That's for sure.
Billy Howard here gives $1.
Actually, I think this is our first monetized.
It's blue.
So I think this might be our first monetized chat, remonetized chat on YouTube from Billy Howard.
Thank you very much.
Oh no, this is actually from Rumble.
My mistake.
Trump just announced on X that for fairness, he will match tariffs on all countries instead of unilateral tariffs.
Well, that's interesting.
I don't know if we have that post, but it's a day-by-day, minute-by-minute situation that's just endlessly evolving and changing.
Yeah, and it's almost like you need somebody who's completely plugged into the process to be involved.
Gridlock and Tradition00:05:30
And Justin Trudeau is in Europe whining and dining himself.
Not eating the bugs.
Right.
I think that wraps it up.
Unless there's anything else here on the stream.
And maybe, Sheila, I know we're already a minute over when you said you had to go by, but do you have just 30 seconds to share with us the court hearing that's going on?
Sure.
Right now, in federal court, the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms is trying to have a federal court justice, I think it's Justice Crampton, overturn the Justin Trudeau liberals' prorogation of parliament.
And they are using Justin Trudeau's own press conference when he announced the prorogation and his own words to impugn him.
You see, there really are no rules around prorogation, but there is tradition and there is the spirit of prorogation.
And you really don't have to give all that many reasons.
But the spirit of the law or the spirit of the ability to prorogue, what they call the prerogative of prorogation, is that you can't use it for partisan reasons.
Even if you are using it for partisan reasons, you don't talk about the partisan reasons.
And Justin Trudeau actually talked about the partisan reasons.
First, he said that parliament was gridlocked and they couldn't get any work done.
That was the first reason.
And the second reason was that he was not the right guy to lead the liberals into the next election.
The second one is definitely a no-no.
That's partisan.
And there is no reason why parliament cannot be working, especially given the extraordinary tariff crisis that we're in.
And the liberals can run a leadership race simultaneously.
Like there's nothing on the planet preventing those two things from happening at once, except insofar as they want to advance the liberals' Prospects in the next election.
And that is not the government of Canada's problem.
It's not parliament's problem.
And the other one, as I said, was the gridlock issue.
There was no gridlock.
Four major pieces of legislation were passed before prorogation.
The only gridlock was that the Liberals would not turn over green/slash fund documents to parliament so that parliament could turn them over to the RCMP to finally get to the bottom of the level of corruption that was happening in that just money laundering operation in the federal government.
So you, the idea that you needed to have complex reasons to prorogue, it's not true.
You could easily just say, look, we want to advance new legislation.
So we're going to prorogue parliament and bring it back and we're going to advance a whole bunch of legislation.
Okay.
That would have been a great reason.
It would have probably been untrue if the liberals had said it, but they say untrue things all the time, like, you know, immigration targets.
Justin Trudeau, in his infinite stupidity, advanced two reasons that violate accepted tradition.
And now there were some issues in court, like, hey, actually, the governor general technically prorogues parliament, so shouldn't your court action be against her?
Well, the governor general has never, ever, ever in the history of Canada denied a request for prorogation, which means that, and it is established tradition that the powers and responsibility always fall back to the elected official.
She's just a formal head of state.
The powers and responsibility technically fall back to the government, even though it's, you know, in our parliamentary system, she's actually a head of state.
So they got around that issue today, and now it is really, it's up to the court to determine: are there restrictions on prorogation, or can you just do it for whatever, whenever?
And if you can do it for whatever, whenever, then we absolutely have an unrestrained executive, which means we will, we could have tyranny.
It means that the governing party can cancel parliament whenever they want for whatever reason.
And that is not in the spirit of democracy.
So the court has to make that decision.
And we're relying heavily, I think, on the only real piece of case law in the world.
And that is the decision that, you know, with governments that have a similar setup to ours, it's a decision out of the UK where they overturned the decision, I think, of the Boris Johnson government to prorogue itself because their reasons weren't good enough.
And like I said, you don't even have to have a great reason.
It has to be just like an okay reason.
And Justin Trudeau, in my opinion, no, I don't know about the court's opinion.
I don't think those decisions were good enough.
Yeah, it'll be interesting to know the court's decision.
The courts, the hearings continuing now.
So we'll let Sheila get back to it.
And all day tomorrow, I think they've scheduled.
Yep.
All day tomorrow also.
So it's going to be a long day in this chair that is getting increasingly uncomfortable.
So I just might have to treat myself to a new chair.
Yeah, I think that you've earned it, Sheila.
Yeah.
All right.
So with that, thanks everybody that made the stream possible.
Support Independent Journalism00:02:38
Thank you to all of our viewers, both on Rumble and on YouTube, and everyone who works behind the scenes to make sure that you can find us and share the links and watch us seamlessly on a few different platforms.
We'll be back tomorrow, I think, for a special election debate live stream, the Ontario leaders, because if that wasn't all enough, that Sheila mentioned there, Premier Doug Ford of Ontario also called a snap election.
There is also an election happening or sorry, campaigning happening in Ontario, and the leaders will be debating tomorrow.
And I think it'll be Ezra running that stream.
And we will be live, he will be live reacting to some of the debate.
So tune in for that one tomorrow.
And in the meantime, hold on to your critical thinking caps because the PSYOPs are coming and they're counting on you to let your guard down.
Thanks, everybody.
See you the next time.
Oh, hi, it's Ezra Levant here in Toronto with an important message because we need your help.
