REBEL ROUNDUP dissects Canada’s political chaos: Liberals purge Ruby Dhalla, a Sikh MP pushing tax and housing reform, while favoring Mark Carney’s inflationary policies over military needs—$5B in frozen Russian assets sent to Ukraine despite Canadian troops lacking basic gear. Michelle Rempel Garner bets on Conservative victory, slams Trudeau’s foreign aid priorities, and backs Trump’s minerals-for-aid deal with Ukraine, even as Zelensky rejects debt terms. The episode also exposes Toronto’s double standard—Hamas supporters chanting genocide face no consequences, while Freedom Convoy protesters were met with force—and questions Liberal hypocrisy on diversity and Trudeau’s past. Ultimately, it frames Canada’s leadership as disconnected from voter concerns, with economic and security decisions benefiting elites over ordinary citizens. [Automatically generated summary]

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Rebel News live stream on this a Monday, February the 24th, 2025.
I'm David Mendes, and my co-host is the she-devil with a sword, the Khaleesi of Northern Alberta, the sensational Sheila Gunn Reed.
And Sheila, my apologies in advance.
Usually I do some shtick about some national day or on this day in history, and then I make a joke, but I spent like an hour researching this day.
Sheila, I might be wrong, but could it be that nothing of significance has happened on February the 24th?
Because I couldn't think of anything to hook something catchy.
Correct me if you wish.
It is.
Oh yeah, it's not a great day.
I have to like out of the corner of my eye.
They're really, they're really working hard to make today a day I can tell on nationaltoday.com.
It's National Tortilla Chip Day.
Yeah.
I hate coriander day.
That's a very divisive herb, coriander, cilantro.
Some people think it tastes like soap.
Do you like it?
I do very much.
Okay.
Well, a lot of people, like it's a genetic thing.
Some people have it like as part of their taste buds, they taste coriander slash cilantro as soap.
So it is like you really, really like it or you super duper hate it.
Maybe let us know in the comments.
Are you a pro cilantro or anti-cilantro?
And it's also a Twin Peaks Day, whatever.
Take that for what it is.
But I watched that entire series, including the reboot at the very beginning of COVID.
And I forgot how complicated it is.
And David Lynch just died, didn't he?
He did.
He died like two weeks ago, yeah.
Late last year.
That's right.
You know, but I, again, like, you're making my point.
Nothing really of super significance.
I remember, I think it was back in the 80s.
It might have been the weather channel moment or something like that, but they would have this day in weather history.
Right.
And I believe, I'm going by memory and I'm pretty sure I'm right about this.
And when it was October the 30th, the announcer said, on this day in weather history, nothing absolutely of significance has happened.
It's never been way hotter or way colder than usual.
There's been no hailstorms.
There's been no tsunami, at least for Ontario.
So I guess there's got to be, you know, one day out of 365, Sheila, where, you know, nothing doing.
Well, you know, they probably stopped that this day in weather history stuff because then they would have to be telling the public that there were adverse weather events before your SUV.
So that might have got a little bit too truthy.
And they're like, no, no, no.
Hurricanes only happened after the mechanization of the world.
Why?
And by the way, on that note, why isn't the mainstream media fact checking Al Gore?
I think he said by 2014, the polar ice caps would be melted, that we'd never see ice in the north and south poles of the planet.
How's that going for Mr. Gore?
They just gloss right over it, you know, like that catastrophic weather is going to be worse.
And they say it is worse, but then they never like give you the proof that it's going to be worse.
Or sometimes they erase the proof that it was like now isn't worse than it was before.
Like remember when Environment Canada deleted like 100 years of weather records?
A little too inconvenient for their inconvenient truth.
So yeah.
You know, that is astonishing, Sheila, because I understand that there's only about 300, 350 accurate weather records in the world.
So the idea that Environment Canada would gut a third of history to make their virtue signaling points, that is astonishing, but completely believable.
Yeah, I am blocked by Mike Hadima, formerly of Greenpeace, who's like the lead Greenpeace organizer in Canada.
But before that, he was like an NDP staffer.
And he frequently says that things are much hotter now than they were tens of thousands of years ago.
And it's like, how could you possibly know that?
But all suspicions indicate that it was, you know, fine.
Even if it were hotter, plants were bigger, animals were bigger because the animals were eating the bigger plants and life was more diverse.
So it's not the doomsday these people think it is.
Yeah, he says nine of the 10 hottest years have been recorded in the past 10 years and all 10 since 2005.
It's no time.
Like, come on, Mike, how do you know that?
I know that.
Even a blink of an eyelash when it comes to climate time.
And by the way, let's go back a little further in your neck of the woods, Sheila.
Tens of millions, hundreds of millions of years ago, Alberta was a tropical grassland.
The big dinosaurs were there.
I know that for a fact.
We had a wonderful facility called the Royal Tyrell Museum.
And those dino bones weren't purchased from abroad, folks.
So those were dug up in Alberta.
The idea of minus 20, minus 30, and beyond, it was unheard of for millions of years.
So there's a little inconvenient truth.
We were a beach in Alberta.
We had a big, huge inland sea.
In fact, if I find like big hunks of limestone on the farm in rock picking season, you can frequently find little shells in the limestone.
Like it's so, there's so many fossils here.
We not only do we have a drumheller, but we also have a big fossil deposit in Grand Prairie, Alberta.
And yeah, it was a lot hotter.
And then it was a heck of a lot colder because we used to be covered under a big fat ice sheet.
So you know what, Sheila?
I'm surprised the climate zealots in Alberta haven't fenced off or walled off the areas of limestone that have samples of seashells.
Because I go back to, because I'm a pop culture freak, beneath the planet of the apes.
And as we know, the forbidden zone in the planet of the apes was that area where the ape elders knew there was evidence of human civilization, like subway, you know, tunnels and toys for human boys and girls.
And, you know, so I'm surprised your zealots haven't fenced on any inconvenient prehistory for Alberta.
Don't give them any ideas.
Even the apes did Orwell, didn't they?
The environmentalists are doing the same thing, too.
Ruby Dalla's Campaign00:15:12
We should tell everybody what we're doing because there are a couple of different ways to support this very unscripted show, as you're picking up, obviously, from the conversation here.
So, this is the Rebel News roundup.
It's completely unscripted.
We talk about the news of the day as it happens quite frequently.
We try to give you some hot takes, cold takes some days.
I'm coming into it a little bit blind, but these are the issues we're following.
And because we are a platform of the people and for the people, we think these are issues that you care about as well.
And there are a couple of different ways that you can support the work that we do here.
If you are watching us on the wonderful free speech platform of Rumble, where you will get Rebel News in its complete uncensored form, you can leave us something called a Rumble Rant.
That's our paycheck over there.
It helps us keep the lights on here at Rebel News because, as you know, we'll never take a penny from Justin Trudeau.
And how could we hold him to account if we ever did?
But if you are still watching us on YouTube, I'm happy to inform you that after some hard work, we are remonetized over there.
Who knows how long that will last?
I believe it is a temporary development, but we'll see how it goes.
We'll be as careful as we can because we know a lot of you are comfortable with YouTube.
So, I get it.
So, you can leave us a super chat over there again.
Or even after the fact, if you can't catch the show live, I think you can leave us a super thanks in the comments also.
And as I said, we'll never take a penny from Justin Trudeau because it turns all of your coverage into a grant application, or at least it taints it.
It gives a perception of bias even when you have nine.
So, those are the rules.
Get chatting.
Let us know what you think the most special thing about today's day is.
Apparently, it's Cilantro Day.
Do you like it?
Do you hate it?
Let your rebels know.
And let's get into the news.
Liberal Party developments late last week.
And then over the weekend, this ousted leadership candidate, I'm actually surprised they let her go on that long.
She did the conservative news circuit, which I thought was kind of interesting.
Ruby Dolla.
Now, say what you will about Ruby Dalla, and Lord knows I have.
She was saying a few things about the Liberal Party, about how far it has drifted away from what it looked like when she was there, from the Kretchen days, let's say, and the Paul Martin days.
But they tossed her out of the party.
And I suppose this is what Justin Trudeau does with prickly women who grind against the establishment's choices in the Liberal Party.
We saw what Justin Trudeau did with women who stood up to him.
What's her face?
Selena Caesar Chavanez and Jodi Wilson-Raybold toss them out on their ear.
And Dr. Philpott.
Yeah, Jane Philpott.
Again, I probably disagree with her on 99% of everything, except for her criticisms of Justin Trudeau.
Likewise with Jodi Wilson-Raybold.
Principled, but I feel like wrong on a lot of things.
Ruby Dala, I, like I said, watch my video from Meet the Liberals about Ruby Dalla.
She's got an interesting backstory, but she was saying a lot of the right things to address the problems that Canadians are facing today.
And if you want to lead the country, you probably want to be the person to address those problems.
Instead, they're obviously going to select Mark Carney, the guy who created those problems.
But she sat down with Ezra over the weekend.
And I think he was her first real interview, like real conservative interview.
And a great interview at that.
And it was wonderful.
She was very candid.
Yep.
And so we've got a couple of clips from that.
Let's watch.
Okay.
I think there's an appetite for your style of shoot from the hip, call it like you see it.
I think people like you.
Some people remember you from your career as an MP, but I think a lot of people are saying, who's this?
And I think they sort of wish you could finish the process.
So what do you say to those thousands of people who have signed up at draftruby.com?
Would you consider running either as an independent, maybe even, I don't know, I don't know if you regard yourself as a fit for the Conservative Party.
Would you consider appealing to get back in?
Like, I think people want to see more of Ruby Dalla and her fighting spirit.
What do you say to them?
Well, I am a fighter, so they can definitely count on that.
And I think, you know, as you said, Ezra, that during the campaign, I spoke about issues that are the need of the hour.
And I think I was able to connect with so many Canadians across the country is because of the fact that I have not lived in the Ottawa bubble for the last 10 years as the other candidates did.
I was the only candidate out of all five, you know, of us that were in this leadership race that was not an advisor to the current administration, that was not a minister in Trudeau's cabinet, and neither was I member of parliament during those 10 years.
I have had my ear to the ground in the last 10 years.
And when I spoke about progressive policy ideas, whether it was related to our economy, whether it was related to business people in our country and Canadians who are just overburdened by all the taxation that we are paying.
And I spoke about having a review of our tax system, about ensuring that we create a value for tax system or putting in a housing cesar to ensure that we actually start building more affordable housing in our country or toughening up on bail reform and toughening up on crime.
I think it was a need of the hour.
And these are issues that are important.
And I think it's about time that politicians in our country start speaking to the needs of what Canadians want to actually deliver results.
If the Liberal Party had been doing that over the last 10 years, our party going into this leadership race would not have been so low in the polls.
I was in this campaign for ensuring that we have a discussion, we have a debate about the future.
But it's very clear, the Liberal Party establishment felt threatened.
They did not want me on that debate stage because I was the only one that was going to be aggressive, that was the only one that was going to actually question Mark Carney on his abilities to be able to deliver for Canadians.
And I was going to be the only individual who was going to talk about issues that are impacting Canadians and Canadian families.
Well, Sheila, I think it's becoming more and more apparent, isn't it, that this is a coronation of Mark Carney.
We don't need, when I say we, I mean the Liberal Party of Canada, they don't need any, you know, muckrakers stirring up trouble on the debate stage and being a contrarian to Mark Carney.
And here's the thing, at the end of the day, and, you know, I know Ezra and Ruby Dalla.
And by the way, thumbs up for Ruby Dalla for parking any kind of rebel derangement syndrome, assuming she ever had any, and coming on and doing a great, honest.
After I did like a not nice video about her past.
There you go.
She's still.
I just wanted people to meet the liberals.
And I did mention her like stance on immigration in that video and how it actually has changed since when she was in government.
But good for her for being open-minded enough to talk to the new media in this country, because I think the new media is taking over and you can't shut them out.
But even on that issue, she is so far away from what the liberals have been like the last 10 years.
And she is right to point out she would be the only liberal on the stage who's not responsible for the mess that we're in.
Like she would be not making that Kamala Harris appeal where, oh, things are bad.
You guys, you guys are suffering.
Let me fix it.
And you're like, but you did this.
Why didn't you fix it when you were in power?
She would be the only liberal who could say, I had nothing to do with this mess.
Let me save you from yourselves, Liberal Party.
No, you know, Sheila, a couple of points.
One is, and I know Ezra and Ruby touched upon this, that what happened to her, it's undemocratic.
It's unfair, and it is.
But you know what, folks?
At the end of the day, guess what?
A political party is just like a private club.
They can do whatever they darn well please.
That's, you know, and that's what a lot of people don't understand.
It's just as though this is some private club saying it's only open to men who are six foot two and green hair, and that's how they're going to run their club.
But it just shows you the hypocrisy of the liberal party that they're committed to fairness and democracy when they really aren't.
And also on diversity, Sheila, the previous candidate whose name I've already forgotten, correct me if I'm wrong, he was a brown candidate.
Goodbye.
Ruby Dalla is obviously a female candidate.
Goodbye.
I thought this was the party that was the champion of visible minorities and females.
And honestly, Ruby's got kind of a good story if you get past the whole nanny stuff and then the Bollywood video and then her championing diversity and increased immigration targets back in the day.
You know what?
And I'm willing to believe in redemption.
I mean, look at Tulsi Gabbard.
Look at RFK.
Look at Trump himself was a Democrat.
There are a lot of Republicans in power right now who used to be Democrats.
So, you know what?
I'm willing to hear this stuff from Ruby.
But if you look at just on the surface, forget all the other things I've said about Ruby Dalla.
If you look at her story on the surface, she's got a great story from Winnipeg, children of immigrants, worked really hard.
She's a businesswoman.
She rose to the upper echelons of government in this country.
If you believe in diversity, Ruby's your gal.
But the liberals don't actually believe in that.
Remember like just three weeks ago, Justin Trudeau lecturing the Americans on this was your time to pick a woman of color to lead your country and yet you didn't.
And here the liberals cooking up allegations against Ruby to kick her out.
And even if the allegations against Ruby are true, and I haven't seen any evidence that they are or aren't, one of them was foreign interference.
Well, they keep signing the nomination papers of Handong and the guy was fined two weeks ago or last week, $500 because of problems in the nomination from outside foreign meddling.
So even if that were true, they keep signing off on Handong.
Parm Baines, by the way, was the recipient of foreign interference in a beneficial way when it targeted Kenny Chu.
We know all of that was whipped up on WeChat.
They keep signing his nomination papers.
So what's the problem with Ruby?
Indeed.
And, you know, the other point that you made, Sheila, and I want to echo it, is that how new media is now in vogue.
Here is a diehard liberal reaching out to our beloved boss man, Ezra Levant, and giving a no-hold barred interview with Rebel News.
And just last Thursday, I was invited with open arms yet again to another Pierre Polyev presser in which the Q ⁇ A session was secluded to like four out of the five journalists, myself included, were independent media.
The exception was Radio Canada.
And Sheila, CBC was there.
Global was there.
CBC is Radio Canada.
So they can't even whine about this.
CBC is Radio Canada.
Yeah, yeah, but it is the French service.
And I believe in terms of defunding CBC, Radio Canada is not part of that.
I stand to be corrected.
But Global, CTV, CBC, they were there.
And Sheila, oh my God, the conniption these reporters were having.
One yelled out, I have to clean it up for family broadcast.
This is effing bullshite.
And he used a full F-bomb.
The other one, the reporter from Global, Nathaniel Dove, between every question, he kept yelling, why aren't you taking questions from all of us?
Oh, well, you know what?
How does it feel?
I mean, look at the jungle, Nate.
Welcome.
We've got fun in games.
You know, these people, a bunch of hypocrites.
They can either be idiots who didn't know or hypocrites on the issue of the free press.
And I guess it's the dealer's choice because either way, they're the bad guy.
100%.
And when the CTV guy interviewed me outside the venue, Sheila, he's saying, so if I get you straight, this is a measure of retribution for you that mainstream media are being excluded.
I said, no.
I said, I'm a free speech absolutist.
I want everyone to have their questions entertained.
But two things for you, Mr. CTV.
One, where were you for a decade when me and all of my colleagues at Rebel and all of our colleagues in independent media outlets were being barred, were being censored, were being arrested by the Justin Schuder liberals.
And by the way, do you think maybe in terms of CTV being excluded, it might just have a teeny tiny bit to do with the fact that you took Polyev's quotes, sliced them and diced them, and made it seem that he said something he didn't.
Do you think maybe that's your reason for exclusion?
Give me a break.
Well, and just on the issue of fairness, because all of a sudden they're concerned about fairness.
You guys have exclusive access to the parliamentary precinct because the cabal of corporate welfare queens and the mainstream media keep having witch trials to keep us out.
So if you've got exclusive access there, let's just serve as a counterbalance on the outside, unless you want to let us into the parliamentary press gallery.
And then it's a free-for-all on either side.
But we don't make the rules.
They are making the rules.
So if you get exclusive access on the parliamentary precinct where we cannot go anywhere near politicians to ask them questions, then to make it fair, we'll just run the outside world.
How's that?
Yeah.
And so many of them, Sheila, were responding to me, oh, I wasn't aware of that.
You weren't aware of it.
How could you not be aware of it?
Like I said, you can be an idiot or a hypocrite.
You get to choose.
And by the way, Sheila, I just want to, so it's just not all about us.
That was a very inspired presser by Pierre Polyev.
Different Viewpoints Resonate00:16:19
The theme was fix the broken budget.
It was at a West End Toronto food bank.
You know, Sheila, my heart sunk going into that building because imagine being in that position and typically no fault of your own.
And why do I say that, folks?
In 2020, this particular food bank, this one Toronto food bank, serviced 10,000 regular clients.
Today, five years later, 70,000.
And guess what?
Maybe it's a coincidence, Sheila.
I don't know.
2020 is when Mark Carney signed on as Justin Trudeau's financial advisor.
How's that working for us?
And yet we've got to listen to these idiot liberals tell us that it's unpatriotic to say that Canada is broken.
That seems pretty dang broken to me, by the way.
When you've got, and by and large, these people are working poor.
These are not unemployed people.
These are working poor who cannot get by thanks to Justin Trudeau slash Mark Carney's inflationary policies.
And when I say that, I don't just mean government overspending.
I mean taxes.
And I also mean immigration, which causes housing inflation and infrastructure inflation and healthcare inflation.
We've got one more clip from Ruby Dalla.
Okay.
And she is pointing out that the hypocrites in the Liberal Party won't shut up about diversity.
And Justin Trudeau, remember his like, oh, we're going to have a gender parity parliament because it's really important to elevate women.
And she's like, okay, I'm a lady trying to elevate myself to the highest office of the land.
And they're like, no, we don't mean you.
We mean the ladies who will shut up and shut up and fall in line.
That's what he meant.
Just a few weeks ago, Justin Trudeau criticized the United States for not voting for a woman as president.
He specifically said they missed an opportunity with Kamala Harris.
We were supposed to be on a steady, if difficult sometimes, march towards progress.
And yet, just a few weeks ago, the United States voted for a second time to not elect its first woman president.
And I feel like at least Kamala Harris had a shot, like she was in the general election, but they blocked you.
They blocked Chander Aria.
They're blocking anyone who for some reason they don't approve of.
It feels very undemocratic to me.
We're going to keep just on that for one second.
It's quite interesting.
We've had this issue with Jodi Wolfson, Rabo.
We've had a couple of other women that were completely sideswiped by Trudeau.
And then for this leadership race in particular, we had Mr. Aria, whose reasons are unknown at this point.
Does the party have something against strong, successful women who speak about progress in our country?
Does a Liberal Party of Canada have something against immigrants in our country who are trying to ensure that their voices are heard?
Does the Liberal Party of Canada have something against women of color in our country who are trying to ensure that the policies that we speak about actually resonate and reflect the need of the hour?
We call it the Liberal Party of Canada, but how liberal is this party actually?
It just really, really makes no sense.
It's mind-boggling.
And I can tell you from the responses that we have been receiving from across the country, liberals and even people that wanted to join the party, to expand our party, which is always the whole point of any political leadership campaign is to bring new people on board because they believe in your vision.
I can tell you from the messages and the responses that we have been receiving and that are all over the Twitter space and Twitter feeds, people are sick and tired of the Liberal Party of Canada talking about inclusivity, talking about having the voices of immigrants heard in our country, talking about the importance of women.
And then on the other hand, their actions do not reflect that and completely doing other ones.
Oh, Sheila, so bang on.
I mean, if we want to play identity politics bingo, well, let's check out our bingo card.
Ruby Dalla is a woman.
Ruby Dalla is a person of color.
Ruby Dalla is a Sikh.
Oh, I don't know about you, Sheila.
Seems kind of diverse to me, don't you think?
Bingo.
Yeah, bingo.
But this is the Liberal Party of Canada.
And what they mean is diversity of when they say diversity, they used to mean diversity, not of thought, of course, but of color.
But they don't even mean that anymore.
What they mean is homogeneity of viewpoints.
So if you are one of those immigrants, people of color who decided that you're going to think for yourself, we can't have, you may as well be white.
You may as well be a white man, Ruby Dalla, according to the Liberal Party of Canada.
And just moving ahead, because I know we're spending a lot of time on this.
But if I had to say on the spectrum of ideas, Ruby Dalla would fit in the purple wing of the Conservative Party just fine.
Like, I don't know where she would be different from, let's say, the person in the next clip, Michelle Rempel, on a lot of viewpoints.
And Michelle Rempel is still considered a powerhouse within the Conservative Party, especially on economic issues and Western diversification issues.
I think that the liberal or sorry, the Conservative Party of Canada is sort of a coalition of people who are libertarians on social issues and social conservatives, as in people who think the government has no business in your life.
Those groups sort of find common ground and meet on economic issues where they just think it's actually not the government's business on social issues.
And they come at it from different viewpoints.
And I think Ruby and Michelle Rempel are pretty close on most issues, especially on social issues.
So I think there's a place for her in the Conservative Party, especially if she sort of says, yeah, when I was a liberal, I, you know, I had viewpoints on certain things, but the Liberal Party left me behind and I've come around to some other ways of thinking.
Oh, I have a lot of time and respect, Sheila, for classical liberals, and this party is anything but that.
But, you know, what I find so hypocritical is that as far as I can tell, the Liberal Party of Canada's leader has always been a white male heterosexual, right?
Yes.
But when they do the photo ops, they like, can we get a couple of MPs with turbans on and a couple of MP ladies with hijabs on?
And is there a guy in a wheelchair?
You know what I'm saying?
So let's do the photo op that we're all about diversity.
But when it comes to numeral uno, the man in the catbird seat, it's the same identity every single time.
Well, and the greatest example of this is Mark Carney, right?
When he was doing his campaign announcement in Edmonton, the one where he also threw all the independent journalists out of he just basically snatched somebody's kukum out of the crowd and said, oh, Indigenous grandma, do a prayer for me.
And she's like, I googled Mark.
I guess he's all right.
Because he needed that diversity there.
She really had no idea who Mark Carney was.
She said that.
Yeah, but he needed somebody's kookam to say an Indigenous prayer.
And so anybody would do.
And so he put this, somebody's granny on the spot because just for diversity points.
It felt really like exploitative, actually.
Yeah.
So in other words, to wrap this up, Sheila, basically what Justin Trudeau and his ilk are saying when it comes to diversity in the Liberal Party of Canada, it is the same saying that The Rock made famous.
Know your role and shut your mouth.
You are a good little prop for the photo ops, but other than that, don't expect actual positions of power in this party.
Yeah, your job is to check a box on a checklist of diversity stuff.
It's not to say anything or have any independent thoughts of your own.
We can't have that.
Speaking of Michelle Rumpel, who I think Ruby Dahla and her would probably agree in a lot, except Ruby's catfish photos.
I really, I can't get over her like catfish campaign photos where if you see Ruby on camera, filter-free versus her like AI, I thought they were AI.
I really did.
Her campaign photos.
Just look.
That's not, I just, she's airbrushed her face into like some sort of alien face.
I wish she had never done that.
Did she get her lips done, Sheila?
I mean, I guess it's Botox, you know, because I'm getting a Star C Dacey vibe from 90 Day Fiancé.
And I just want to tell all women out there, speaking for men, I don't know one single man in my circle who says, I want giant lips on a woman.
Don't do that, ladies.
I don't know.
Are you trying to impress other ladies?
Because guys don't like it.
None that I have met say that's for me.
So anyways, I'm going off on a tangerine, but hopefully.
Instagram is a poison.
We've got Michelle Rumpel Garner talking about the Liberals' recent resurgence in the polling, depending on the poll that you see.
Like if it's Nanos, I'm like, Frank Graves, no, I'm not sure.
He's got a conservative derangement syndrome.
So I never take his polls with a lot of credibility.
But also when those are aggregated into the other polls, it skews the results of the other polls in the aggregator.
So always remember that.
But Michelle held a press conference this morning, I believe.
So this is a clip from that.
Ms. Rumple Garner, how concerned are you about the diminishing lead in the polls for the conservatives?
I think that what I hear when I'm out canvassing people in my community is a lot of distrust with the Liberal government.
And I also think, frankly, that the numbers that I've seen are numbers that Stephen Harper won a majority government with.
And I think that the plans that Conservative Party leader Pierre Polyev had put out, not just in recent weeks, but over the last year to axe attacks, fix the budget, stop the crime and build the homes, they resonate with Canadians because those are the issues that people are facing right now.
So I am very confident that after the Liberals come out of hiding, we should be in parliament right now.
They're in hiding, right?
They prorogued parliament because they lost the trust of Canadians and didn't want to be subject to scrutiny.
That, you know, when we are in an election campaign, you will see those, that message, that plan that our leader has been consistent about resonate with Canadians.
But, you know, I think that, again, this is, these are questions that Mark Carney should be answering right now too, right?
And this is why we're out today saying that on some of these key issues, again, the Liberals are just trying to dupe Canadians into forgetting their record of the last 10 years.
We will not allow Canadians to do that.
Frankly, it doesn't take a lot of work because Liberals or Canadians are living with the results of those policies.
And again, I just think that the plans that we've put forward are resonating with Canadians because they're compassionate and they strike to the heart of things like affordability for groceries.
So, Sheila, this is the question, is it not?
Are Canadians that easily dupable, if that's a word?
Or are these polls showing that the Liberals are now breathing down the poly of conservatives' necks?
Are they completely bogus?
Are they push polls?
What say you?
I think it's six of one, half a dozen of the other, unfortunately.
I think there are some Canadians who are like they accept that Justin Trudeau has been rightfully villainized, but they are not connecting that Mark Carney was the dude dumping those bad ideas into the empty vessel he calls ahead.
And I have a unique viewpoint on this because as an Albertan, we could not vote blue any harder than we do.
And so we look at the people in the rest of the country and are like, what on earth is wrong?
What aren't you getting that we consistently get out here?
How do we make you understand?
And so I have a real hard time having faith in my fellow Canadians because we're out here pulling the load, doing the work, voting conservative, and we're watching people in the rest of the country complain about the way things are in Canada, but not putting together who did that to you.
Well, Sheila, I literally in the upcoming election have skin in the game.
I have a bet with our good friend Joe Warmington of the Toronto Sun, an MSM good guy out there.
And it goes back almost two years now, me betting heavily that the Conservatives are going to form the next government.
Joe saying no, not because he supports the Liberals, folks, but because he thinks there's some shenanigans that might happen, some cheating that might happen.
And it's a steak dinner at Jacobs.
And if you don't know Toronto, Jacobs, the foodies say that is the only steakhouse in Toronto that could make it in Manhattan.
It's that good.
The downside is it's more than a mortgage payment to buy a steak dinner there.
So I really don't want to lose this bet, Sheila.
Wow.
I just, I can't even believe that there's a steak that's good in Toronto.
Oh, I will eat those words and the greatest Caesar salad I've ever had in my life.
Next time you're in Toronto, I'll see what kind of dough we have in the swear jar and take it down to Jacobs.
Maybe we can at least have an appetizer.
Let's do one more clip from Rempel Garner, and then we'll hit an ad break, do a chat, and then we'll continue into Trump Trudeau and the ongoing soap opera there.
So this is the threat that Mark Carney pose to a conservative victory.
I think the question is, how much of a question does Mark Carney pose to average Canadians?
You know, no, but that is the question that I think people need to be asking, given how sneaky he's been.
For me, as a representative who has been locked out of parliament, I am literally locked out of parliament right now because of the Liberal government.
And I also have to re-emphasize something here.
Mark Carney has been at the helm of a lot of the financial and economic decisions that have been made by the Liberal government over the last several years.
And, you know, there was a great article, I think it was in the Toronto Sun today, talking about how, you know, a combination of Mark Carney with American tariffs would ruin the Canadian economy because he does not have a plan to make our country more resilient in face.
His entire lifetime of policies have been putting forward things that have actually put Canada in this position of weakness right now.
So, you know, again, I think that tonight, you know, Mark Carney needs to come clean on a bunch of these issues.
And I do think that Mark Carney poses a giant challenge for Canadians and a giant threat to Canadians.
She ain't wrong.
Thank you, Michelle.
I mean, she's right.
And pointing out that he's been sneaky.
He's got the Kamala Harris problem, where how do you distance yourself from the economic carnage you are responsible for creating?
The media are going to let him off the hook.
Sun News Network Conflict00:06:49
The Conservatives are trying to put those pieces together.
Now, is it going to resonate with Canadians?
I hope so.
I hope so.
But I have very little faith in the greater Toronto area, unfortunately.
And don't forget, Sheila, Mr. Polyev isn't just going up against the Liberal Party of Canada.
He's going up against the media party.
And I could tell last Thursday in Toronto with that mood in that room, they have an axe to grind.
I am sure for years now, they've been looking under every boulder, going to high school yearbooks, dredging up in the time machine of the internet anything he might have said.
He will have to contend with that, okay?
Because they know about the defunding and already they're being, it's almost a moot point.
Yeah, you exist, but you're not getting any questions in.
So they are motivated to bring this man and this party down.
So watch for that.
Right.
Yeah.
Like I said, over the weekend, the gravy train with biscuit wheels is about to roll out of the station and the mainstream media is worried about standing on the platform with their suitcases in their hand because Polyev has said he's going to defund them.
So he is their enemy.
He is like, he is going to make sure that they get laid off because they have broken business models.
And they don't need right now to fix the broken business model because Trudeau just says, well, here's some money.
I'll take it from these successful businesses and give it to these failing ones.
And we'll just not say that that's socialism at all, which it absolutely is.
And you know, Sheila, it couldn't be more blamed.
A couple of weeks ago, I had a piece, as you know, it was, I believe his name was Adam Austin, one of the head honchos of Bell Media, openly working for the Christia Freeland campaign.
How is that not a conflict of interest?
That's unbelievable.
So not only have we taken the money, we're going to volunteer time and try to get another liberal elected.
That's your mainstream media.
And that is why, Sheila, that the vast majority of people do not trust the mainstream media, nor do they get their news from it anymore.
And I don't think you can fix it.
Yeah, well, it's not just the bias, but the perception of bias.
Yeah.
Right?
Like, and so that it just taints everything.
We've got a chat we'll get to.
We'll do the ad read, then we'll do a Rebel ad, and then we'll go back into the, like I said, the Trump Trudeau ongoing soap opera there.
We've got a chat from Abelist SL gives us five bucks and says, has Rebel considered creating a TV channel to replace Sun?
And do you support the annexation of Canada, probably the rest of the Commonwealth by the U.S. in retaliation to globalist and remote corruption?
The reason we went outside of conventional TV is because the internet was free.
And it was a low cost entry way to talk directly to the people without the censors of the CRTC.
YouTube is in every home, right?
Like, so you don't have to try to shoehorn this onto cable.
Somebody buys cable and then you need to make sure that you get what's called mandatory carriage to make sure that you get onto every cable package.
This was the best weight and the lowest bar for entry for Rebel News to get to all of you.
Now we're on your every phone if you want it.
We're on every computer.
We are on your TV if you watch YouTube on your TV or if you watch Rebel News that way.
So, I mean, consider that your TV channel, right?
And we can do that without the cost and the censorship.
Now, that is exactly why Justin Trudeau has continued to try to censor the internet and expand the bureaucracy of the CRTC to encompass streaming.
That's the Rebel News law because we went streaming instead of the old-fashioned way because they could never kill Rebel News the way they killed Sun News.
And Sheila, I want to touch upon something you said there, the cost, because Ezra and I are refugees from the old Sun News network.
I can tell you that in the brief history of Sun News, they were losing almost $20 million a year.
And what I'm getting at, you know, to have the top heavy capital costs of a TV station in an environment in which mainstream media, let's face it, it's a sunset industry.
Viewers are declining.
Advertisers are going away.
Those advertisers that you have are paying maybe 10 or 15% on the dollar, what they used to.
So in other words, folks, we would, to make it viable, we would actually have to accept government donations.
And we ain't going to do that because we don't like the inherent conflict of interest.
It's unethical.
There is no merit to it.
I can tell you my old Ryerson journalism professors, if I agreed to something like that, they'd be rolling over in their graves.
So as Sheila mentioned, we are lean and mean.
And part of that is not being anchored down by huge capital costs, which a TV network would include.
Now, I think the other part of the question.
I just want to say this.
I just want to say something else, but being lean and mean has allowed us to innovate.
Like right now, you're watching me connecting to David on Skype, which is free.
In the olden days of Sun News, it was a satellite connection, excessively expensive.
Because we're small, because we're effective like that, it's also really easy for us to deploy to events.
So if something's happening, we just grab our cell phones, a microphone, and we're out the door.
Whereas if you've ever seen CBC go to an event, it's like two satellite trucks, four chase producers, a guy that holds a reflective piece of tinfoil, an audio guy, a boom operator, and a cameraman.
We can get there quicker.
We can get in and out and done and tell you the stories that those other people say, well, you know what?
The amount of resources and money to deploy to that story, we're just not even going to cover it.
It allows us to do things that they can't.
And Sheila, let's not forget how technology has advanced the cause of independent media, citizen journalists.
Sheila, I don't understand.
When I go to these pressers and CTV and Global and CBC, they're all there.
And these poor cameramen, I kind of feel sorry for them.
That thing must weigh 40, 50 pounds.
And I challenge you folks, watch a presser where we're doing the filming and they're doing the filming.
Can you tell the difference?
Why Justin Trudeau Is Giving Money For Art00:03:06
You know, this little gizmo here, this thing that fits in my breast pocket, the quality right now is off the charts.
Sheila, what I'm getting at, why do they feel it necessary to bring those giant clunker cameras around with them?
Yeah, I know there's some special effects they can do with it, but you rarely do if you're covering news.
Right.
And maybe there's a better Zoom.
But other than that, I don't know what the advantage is.
It's because they can't.
It's because Justin Trudeau is giving them money to hold that overpriced thing on their shoulders.
I think those things are like a quarter of a million bucks.
I think at one time that like $100,000 easily, like that my, you know, my $1,700 Samsung phone can do just as good a job, if not better, particularly in low light.
Like it's just so crazy.
But moving on from that, the second point that Abelist mentioned was: do you support the annexation of Canada, probably the rest of the Commonwealth by the U.S. in retaliation to globalist and woke corruption?
No, I don't.
Because annexation doesn't give the people a say.
That's why I'm anti-invasion in Ukraine.
People deserve a say in what happens to them.
And what you're proposing doesn't give anybody a say.
And by the way, do you think the Americans want a big pile of Democrat voters with Trump derangement?
Like if they're going to take somebody, I don't think they should take the East.
I just don't, I think it'll skew their Electoral College in a terrible, terrible way.
Well, Sheila, my thoughts on that.
Listen, I'm as proud of a Canadian as anyone else is.
I mean, I jumped out of my sofa when McDavid scored that overtime winner against the Americans 100%.
But, you know, I speak to a lot of people, and maybe they're saying it half-jokingly, and maybe not, but the idea of yet another term under these Justin Trudeau liberals facing that prospect.
And I think they're being sincere.
They'd say, yeah, I'd rather be part of the United States of America under Donald Trump, where you see so many freedoms that we no longer have here in Canada under the blackface liberals being entrenched and coming back.
And, you know, I've always said, Sheila, I think Donald Trump, who subscribes to the art of the deal, no, I don't want to see an invasion or an annexation naturally.
If you want reciprocity, you want Canadians to join as the 51st state.
And by the way, that has to change.
It's got to be 13 new states, okay?
Because the idea of one state in the union being bigger than the entire other 50 is preposterous.
And really, what does Quebec have to do with Alberta?
But the art of the deal here, Sheila, is if Trump says Canadians, you join up, Canadian money at par.
So you exchange a Canadian $100 bill and you get a U.S. $100 bill back.
Your net worth just went up by about 35%.
Yeah, I guess I'm going to be a Yankee Doodle dandy after all, Sheila Gunnry.
Canadian Money at Par00:03:17
Yeah, you know what?
It doesn't even have to be 13 new states.
I mean, Alberta and Saskatchewan will do just fine together.
We'll be just fine.
But yeah, I just, the idea of annexation is just so anti-democratic.
I could never support that.
Let's go to, and by the way, treating the idea that people would like something different for Canada, whatever that might look like, as a fringe idea is completely ridiculous.
One in three Albertans right now are like, yeah, they gave me my money straight across.
Sure.
And if you want someone who will be the biggest driver of separatism in the West, just elect Mark Carney the next prime minister.
He'll light a fire I don't think anybody can put out.
Oh, Mark Carney, Justin Trudeau, Sheila, I recall the old ABC laundry detergent ad from the early 70s.
Of course, before your time, don't rub it in.
But basically, ABC was the bargain brand compared to the national brand leaders like Tide.
And their campaign was showing similar or sorry, identical pieces of laundry, one in the national brand and one in ABC.
And the housewife would say, this was the tagline.
Can you tell the difference?
I can't tell the difference.
That's Trudeau and Carney in 2025.
Yeah, yeah, it's the same ideas, just with the more boring guy explaining them to you.
Um, we've got a quick ad read from our friends at Rumble.
Uh, it's a sponsorship from Rumble that's incredibly important to the survival of Rumble, but I should tell you the survival of us here at Rebel News, too, because Rumble is a place of anti-censorship, just not a place where you won't be censored, but where they will fight attempts by governments to censor them.
And if Rumble gets censored, then you get censored.
So they stand up for free speech and they put their money where their mouth is.
So when Rumble first started in 2013, they built the platform for the small creator.
They didn't censor or have biases.
They were fair and treated all creators equally.
No one thought platforms would censor political conversations or censor opinions on COVID, but they did.
Facebook admitted they fell to pressure from the Biden and Harris administration.
They did the same thing here in Canada.
They fell to health Canada.
Rumble did not.
They held the line.
They are attacked daily for giving us at Rebel News a voice to talk to you.
They are attacked in corporate media.
They're attacked by governments like France.
They're attacked from brand advertisers who refuse to work with them.
Corporate America is fighting to remove speech.
Rumble is fighting to keep it.
Rumble won't survive with brand advertisers.
They don't get much of it.
Watching our show on Rumble is the most they can ask from you.
But if you really believe in this fight and you have the means, one wage your way, you can help Rumble survive is by joining Rumble Premium.
It's really easy to just cancel your YouTube Premium and just take that money and apply it to Rumble.
Join the community that believes in the First Amendment and believes in our human right to free speech.
Rumble is offering $10 off with a promo code studio when you purchase the annual subscription.
Go to rumble.com/slash premium and use promo code studio.
Like I said, if you have the means and believe in the cause, now's the time to join Rumble Premium.
If you don't have the means, we're just very happy that you watch us on Rumble, where you will get the full uncensored version of Rebel News.
Rumble's Fight for Freedom00:09:53
Should we hit a quick Rebel News ad break and we'll come back in at President Trump calling Justin Trudeau a loser?
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.
I've got a better idea than tariffs.
What would an America-first strategy for Canada-U.S. trade look like?
Is there room for a Trump-style mega-deal even bigger than Greenland?
A dozen years ago, I wrote a best-selling book called Ethical Oil, The Case for Canada's Oil Sands, which made the liberal argument that the oil sands are the fair trade coffee of the world's oil industry.
In my new book, Deal of the Century, I look at Canada-U.S. trade through an America-first lens, and I come to the conclusion that far from putting tariffs on Canadian oil, Donald Trump should ink a 50-year, $13 trillion deal to buy all 170 billion barrels of Canada's oil sands, shutting out China and giving Canada the means to pay for a rebuilt military.
And as for Yanking Trudeau's chain, well, he'll be gone as prime minister in a few weeks, but I've got a better suggestion for how Trump can slap Trudeau around a bit without hurting America's economic interests.
That's in the book, too.
Get your copy now at dealofthecenturybook.com.
And trust me, Trudeau doesn't want you to see this.
All right.
Yeah.
Let's get into President Trump.
It's audio saying what so many Canadians believe to be true and acknowledging that he remains a great judge of character of the people around him, calling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a loser.
He won the first game.
The second game was a great game.
It could have gone either way.
Justin's a loser, always has been.
And, you know, he's just a guy that really doesn't, I think he's done a very bad job for Canada.
He's taking it radical left.
Justin's sort of a nice guy, but he's a loser.
Sheila, here's where I stand on this, and I'm going to preface it by saying I love Trump and I loathe Trudeau, but I have to disagree with that comment.
And this does not mean I'm a Justin Trudeau supporter.
If you win electoral office, and I don't care if it's a city councillor or an MPP, MLA on your neck of the woods, an MP, you are a winner.
It is a Herculean task.
There is a process behind it.
He won in 2015.
He won in 2019.
He won in 2021.
That's the bottom line.
Now, winning elections is one thing.
Has he been good for Canada?
No, he has been horrible for Canada.
Everyone I know, even former liberals, wants regime change.
So when you're speaking loser, if his job is to become the prime minister, he has been a winner.
I'm just calling it like I see it, Sheila.
I think we're using loser in the more colloquial way of using the word loser, in that it's not winners or losers.
It's just the kind of person you are.
You know, are you just a bit of a loser?
I feel like he is.
He failed upward his entire life.
He really is qualified to be a substitute teacher and a part-time snowboard instructor and the guy who always had weed at the ski hill.
Like, I feel like that's where he would be without his last name.
Yeah, but you know what, Sheila?
Fair enough.
But the ostensible policy reason for being a political leader, a politician, is to win.
You know, as Al Davis of the Raiders once said, just win, baby.
And he has won time in and time out.
Going back to 2021.
How much of that winning has to do with his last name?
That assault.
All of it.
He still delivered.
You know, he still put the bacon on the table.
Going back to 2021, who do you think was the bigger loser in that election?
Justin Trudeau or Aaron O'Toole?
Oh, you see, I would use Aaron O'Toole.
I would describe him as a loser in also the colloquial way, but also in the literal way.
Yeah.
So a 100% certified all-around authentic loser.
Stamp of approval.
At least you can make the argument that Justin Trudeau got his party back in play.
And, you know, in Machiavellian terms, thanks to Salao Singh, ruling as though he has a majority government.
That is the ultimate tragedy.
But again, as Charlie Sheen would say, winning.
You've got to get some more up-to-date pop culture references, David.
Good gracious.
We've got another past, Sheila.
You know, back in the day when, you know, a person with a penis was a man and not a fake woman.
Stop, we've got to.
David, we're trying to stay on YouTube.
Sorry.
Yeah, I meant somebody going out for Halloween, of course.
Nothing to do with transgenderism.
Stop.
Let's go to President Trump saying he wants to keep O Canada as the anthem for the 51st state.
Okay.
They get 95% of their product from the United States.
I think they have to become the 51st state.
And you heard the people booing the national anthem, but I think ultimately they'll be praising the national anthem.
We'll have to work out some deal with it because I do like the O Canada, right?
It's a beautiful thing.
I think we're going to have to keep it for the 51st state.
I call him Governor Trudeau.
I said, Governor Trudeau is doing a wonderful job.
I think it's actually cost him his election, if you want to know the truth.
You know what, Sheila?
I love Trump and I love the trolling, but I got to take issue.
I mean, to be factually correct, 95% of our goods comes from the United States.
I'll tell you, whenever I'm in a Dollarama or a Walmart, I would say 95% is coming from China.
And as a matter of fact, I was in the TD Bank the other day.
Their green pens, I couldn't help but notice it said made in the USA.
And I said to the teller, how much are these pens costing?
20 bucks a unit?
I mean, that is so unusual to see a mass-produced commodity.
But that's what it says, you know, made in the USA.
So I don't think that number's right.
Do you?
I don't think it's right either.
But the whole point of that speech was just to ambitiously troll Justin Trudeau.
You know, if he lets us keep our national anthem, great, but he should mandate that it be the old one.
Yes.
And not the new one.
I was looking up state mottos the other day because I'm like, I hope they let us keep our own out here in Alberta because, of course, ours is the best.
It's for to say Libra, so strong and free.
I think the only other motto that I would appreciate just as much, I think, is the New Hampshire one.
It's like, live free or die.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And don't mess with Texas.
But the worst one has to be Oklahoma is okay.
I mean, Sheila, like, okay.
Like, if you went to a movie, I said, how'd you like the show, Sheila?
That was okay.
That's not an endorsement.
I'm looking.
That can't be the official.
No, it used to be.
I'm telling you, type in Oklahoma is okay.
That was on their license plates at one point.
Okay.
But they're like official, their Latin state motto.
Okay.
Oh, I love it.
Oklahoma state motto.
My Latin's not good, although I'm doing it on Duolingo so that I can appreciate Latin mass more.
Labor Omnia Vincent, labor conquers all things.
That feels slightly Stalinistic, but also probably accurate when you have a place like Oklahoma where the whole place is built with like hard work and determination.
So I just, I wish that I didn't have the strong Soviet association with that.
Yeah, you know, and you got to love these slogans too, because I'll never forget 1983, I went to Michigan for the first time.
And the very first car we saw on the highway, it was this giant land yacht Lincoln Continental Mark V or Mark VI.
Hard to believe it's a two-door coupe.
I mean, it's the size of a battleship.
And the bumper sticker I saw, this is what I love about Americans.
They wear their opinions on their sleeves.
The day they outlaw handguns is the day I become an outlaw.
Yeah, so even though he was going under the speed limit in the passing lane, do you think I was honking my horn or flashing my headlights at this guy, Sheila Gunread?
Sleeping Through Three Years of War00:10:22
No, because I know what's in the glove box.
You know what I'm saying?
Hawaii's state motto is like an entire paragraph.
Anyways, I've completely derailed the show with my nonsense.
Let's keep going.
Justin Trudeau is sending.
Oh, this irritates me to no end.
So just remember, this is the prime minister who said Canadian veterans are asking for more than he's willing to give.
We have a crisis of recruitment, but also retention.
Our veterans are being told, have you considered doing your civic duty and dying instead of trying to get access to care through Veterans Affairs?
And yet, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is pledging 24 or sorry, 25 more LAVs, that's light armored vehicles, and a grant to boost energy security.
We're just trying to build a pipeline in Canada, but he's giving them energy security money and $5 billion in cash from frozen Russian assets.
But I know, we all know, there is more work to do.
That is why I am announcing Canada will be providing 25 more LAV-3 infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine.
We will be delivering two armored combat support vehicles, which Ukrainian forces will be trained on shortly in Germany.
Landing systems for F-16s were delivered just two months ago, and four F-16 flight simulators will be provided in the coming months.
And that's on top of the millions of additional rounds of ammunition, components for drone cameras, and first aid kits.
We're also dispersing the first installment of the $5 billion in assistance to Ukraine funded through revenues from frozen Russian assets, along with providing a grant to help Ukraine maintain its energy security in the wake of consistent reckless attacks by Russia on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
You know, those frozen Russian assets, that must mean that a big jet at Pearson Airport, you can see it from the road, Sheila.
It's been there for three years.
I don't know anything about airplane mechanics, but if you let something just sit there for three years without it ever firing up the engines, is it still flyable at this point?
Yeah, I think it is bad.
I know it's bad for cars.
But, you know, in addition to that, on the way into Rebel News World headquarters, I heard on the radio that Justin Trudeau is open to the idea of Canadian boots on the ground in Ukraine in a peacekeeping role.
I'm not okay with that, Sheila.
And I'll tell you where I want Canadian boots right now, folks.
It's in the city of Toronto to help them dig out.
25 years ago, Mel Lassman called in the army to dig Toronto out.
Toronto is now into week two of a three-week snow removal process.
Why not put the soldiers to work?
But anyway, Sheila, how do you feel about that?
Canadians going, you know, Canadian military personnel, that is, going to Ukraine.
They're already stationed in Latvia.
By the way, I want to just remind everybody that our troops stationed in Latvia face an embarrassing gear shortage.
Oh, yeah.
That's the headline from the CBC.
Buying their own helmets, their flak jackets, ear protection.
There's reports of them buying their own MREs.
We've had them sharing sleeping bags, like not two in a sleeping bag, but ones that are on deployment.
You take my sleeping bag.
I won't have that as part of my kit back home.
This is a disgrace that we're better equipping the Ukrainian military than the Canadian soldiers who are willing to give their lives in defense of Canadian ideals.
I don't want Canadian soldiers deployed to Ukraine.
I'd love them to come home and deploy here in Canada, perhaps to the border to help stave off some of those tariffs that are coming our way if we don't deal with our border.
This just shows that Justin Trudeau has all kinds of money for every virtue signaling thing on the face of the planet, except when it comes to protecting Canadians, both economically and physically from the threat of gangs, guns, and drugs.
Sheila, how does this even happen?
Can you explain that to me?
we have procurement processes.
So if we have 140,000 soldiers, let's say, then that means Anita Anand was in charge.
That's how it happened.
But I mean, like, it's basic math.
How many troops do we have?
Well, this is how many sleeping bags and backpacks and guns.
40 years old, too.
Like, they're 40 years old, used through multiple wars and deployments.
It's disgusting.
There's so much better technology with regard to cold weather gear.
And we're giving them stuff from the Vietnam era to deploy.
It's crazy, but we're giving billions of dollars, billions of dollars to Ukraine, who, by the way, had the gall to announce to the rest of us, these are not loans.
Thank you for the grants.
The gall of Zelensky to change the terms on some of these countries.
I don't even anticipate that Justin Trudeau ever thought that we would ever be repaid.
But I know there are countries out there who thought they were being repaid.
And Zelensky's like, no, thank you very much for the money.
It was a grant.
Imagine doing that to the bank.
So we have to as a regular person.
So Sheila, we have to think of the unspoken strategy because you'd never see Justin Trudeau talking about this if it was giving money and troops and whatnot to Israel, which is fighting a war on three fronts.
So my hypothesis is that there is a large Canadian-Ukrainian community in our country, and he's pandering to them for votes.
Right, but they all vote conservative anyway.
They're all out here on the prairies going to church and voting conservative.
So I don't know what he thinks he's doing.
I know plenty of Ukrainian people, people of Ukrainian descent, because of where I'm from.
The phone book is full of names that end in Y and I.
And they are anti-invasion like me, but also anti-sending money to a forever war, which is what we have on our hands, where it's just young people from both sides being thrown onto the bonfire of it all.
There has to be a way forward, and it isn't this.
Yeah, there really are a lot of Ukrainians in Alberta.
When I started my career, such as it is in Alberta, 1985, I needed to find a men's hockey team to play for.
There was a tiny little village.
I don't know if you ever heard of it, Sheila.
It's called Mirnam.
And yeah, I joined a hockey team called the Mernum Marksmen.
I was the only non-Ukrainian on the team.
And believe me, folks, because of that and the fact that I played net, oh, was I the goat when things went south?
Not the greatest of all time.
I mean the scapegoat.
Also, because you're from Toronto and we have a strong anti-Toronto sentiment.
On the issue of Zelensky, we've got a couple more stories from him.
We're over the top of the hour, but I don't think we have quite a hard stop.
Olivia, I'm sure, will whisper in my ear.
Ukraine Zelensky, he says that he's going to turn down a mineral deal if the mineral deal is repayment for Biden-era U.S. aid.
A grant is not a debt.
Ungrateful, just completely ungrateful, this guy.
Yeah.
And, you know, not really a champion of democracy on the Ukraine home front either, Sheila.
Let's not forget that.
You know, elections being suspended and whatnot.
So, you know, that is chutzpah getting a loan and then reimagining, to use a Disney term, that loan into a grant.
I'm sorry.
I think if Trump, even without Zelensky, can broker a deal.
And I think it's simply going to be two things.
Ukraine cannot join NATO, no way, no how.
And there are certain territories of Ukraine that are going to be surrendered back to Russia, which have a large Russian population in those territories.
And then you're going to get peace.
And I know it's going to be kind of a bittersweet deal, but it beats this never-ending war, doesn't it, Sheila?
Yeah.
I mean, this cannot go on forever.
We're three years in, I think, today or right around.
This cannot go on forever.
The article from the New York Post says President Trump has been demanding such a pact, so a minerals for repayment deal, but Ukraine has been pushing for new security guarantees or fresh military funding in exchange for its minerals.
But Trump wants this to be backdated.
So Zelensky says, I do not recognize that Kiev owes the U.S. even $100 billion.
Zelensky told reporters at a press conference a day before the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of his country.
We agreed with Biden that this was a grant and a grant is not a debt.
So what Trump wants is a deal granting the Americans rights to hundreds of billions of dollars worth of critical and rare earth minerals in Ukraine to serve as backpay for aid offered to Kiev.
Well, Sheila, how about this?
Let's have a peace deal, okay, and be done with this endless welfare.
We can't afford it.
Anyone going to be able to do it?
They can't afford it.
No, just in human lives.
You know, so, you know, if Trump can broker something and end this flow of billions with a B, I guess it's soon going to be a trillion with a T, the sooner the better.
Randy's Government Dealings00:15:29
Yeah, I mean, that's exactly it.
The only people doing well out of this is BlackRock.
Yeah.
That's it.
They're arms dealers, and then they're getting the contract to rebuild war-torn places.
So they've got quite the business model there.
They closed the loop, haven't they?
Where they help create the war and then they help repair afterwards.
Anyway.
Oh, that think.
Larry Fink.
Truth in advertising.
Yes.
This from the Daily Mail.
Zelensky says he would step down if it guaranteed peace in Ukraine.
How about step down first?
So we know we're not going to fall into bait and switch with that one, too.
Or just, I'm not even suggesting that he step down.
Let's have an election.
Let the people decide if you're the right man to continue leading, right?
Like why wasn't democracy the first reflex here?
Yeah.
Totally agree.
Yeah.
All right.
Hamas.
David, you can pick the Hamas stories.
Oh, all right then.
I'm just going through my notes, Sheila, as we speak.
Actually, you know what?
Let's go to the video from our friend Leviathan.
Oh, I see.
Yes.
In front of Union Station.
Yep.
This is a good one.
Check it out, folks.
Yeah, this is, let's push the envelope part 442 in terms of what we can get away with.
The police, of course, went over to the Hamassholes and said, will you get your candy asses off Front Street because you're in front of the busiest train station in Canada?
No, of course they didn't do that.
They probably asked, Are you thirsty?
Are you hungry?
We got some Java and Timpits in Cruiser Number 10.
Sheila, this is just the middle finger being raised to, well, everything.
Law and order, Canadian values.
They are getting away with things that nobody else could.
If I went down in front of Union Station right now and tried to make a blockade with my pickup truck, believe me, I would be roughed up, arrested, the truck would be impounded.
These guys, hey, it's diversity, I guess.
Unbelievable.
Yeah, this is complete two-tiered policing.
So they closed the road directly in front of Union Station so that people who are loyal to the designated terrorist group Hamas, so an outlawed terror organization in this country, could hold their prayer.
That's they're standing on an armed resistance banner in case you're wondering how they feel about October 7th.
They feel that the abduction and murder of 1,200 Israeli citizens is just resistance.
These are the same cops who refuse to do anything when these folks go into Jewish neighborhoods and stage their cause play.
In fact, it's, I misspoke.
I don't want to say they refuse to do anything.
They know who the bad guys are, prickly Jewish journalists who show up on the scene to document what's going on, like our boss, Ezra Levant.
They marched him away in handcuffs, but they do nothing about these guys who, at the very least, could get a jaywalking ticket.
And Sheila, can you explain for me, we're now into the third anniversary of the brutal shutdown of the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa.
Where are the pearl-clutching liberals?
You don't have the right to commandeer our streets and make noise.
Have any of these people been brutally shut down with the whackam and stack'em Gestapo?
Have any of these people had a cylinder shot into their thighs like our beloved colleague Alexa Lavalle?
How about bank accounts?
Have any of these junior jihadis had their bank accounts frozen?
No, no, and no.
Again, the double standard in terms of politics and two-tier policing, it couldn't be any more apparent than that.
And Myron Demkew, when are you going to tender your resignation?
You are the worst police chief in Toronto history.
And given that Bill Blair was a police chief, that's saying something.
Yeah.
But that's why I think he probably wants to just be the next Bill Blair, right?
Like Bill Blair is not going to be wanting to work forever.
Don't even think you would could even loosely describe what he does as work, given how checked out he was during the foreign interference scandal.
But I think your current police chief thinks, well, I'm going to do what liberals do.
I'll just fail upward into an MP position.
I'll be the next public safety minister.
But this is why your question to Pierre Polyev was so important at that press conference that irked all the mainstream media who were mad that their boring questions that nobody cares about didn't get answered.
You asked a question about support for designated terror groups.
Would he outlaw that?
And if that were outlawed, which was the Stephen Harper law, this stuff wouldn't be happening.
Correct.
The cops would be, you would say, enforce, go in and grab these guys because not only are they blocking traffic, which I mean, again, they're standing in a lane of traffic.
Go pick them up on a jaywalking ticket and inconvenience them that way.
But they are expressing support for an outlawed terror organization, which is a terrorist crime in this country.
And you can go to jail for a heck of a lot longer.
But right now, I mean, like I said, we're not even giving them the most basic, inconvenient ticket of a jaywalking ticket.
We're not even actually even shooting them off the road.
Like, they're not even saying, like, okay, get out of here.
They're not even doing that.
They're like, okay, well, we'll just wait till they're done.
Sheila, back in December, when I went to the press conference outside the Toronto Jewish Girls School, which was shot up for the third time, I think in eight months, and you had a member of the Toronto Crimes Hate Unit there, and I was asking him about shutting down this sort of hate.
And his answer, I can't remember it verbatim, but the gist of it was, well, you know what?
There's some nuance.
Nuance?
Chanting genocide, displaying swastikas, having a guy dress up as Sinoir.
Are you kidding me?
Where's the nuance?
And this is a guy with the hate crimes unit.
Yeah.
Yep.
Yep.
Hopefully, this all changes after March, after the government falls.
But I'm not even optimistic that the government is going to fall because Justin Trudeau is appointing parliamentary secretaries like it's going out of style, which means I think that they think that the government is going to avoid that confidence vote with the NDP.
I'm inclined to believe they've already struck a deal with the NDP.
So when do you think we're going to an election?
Because I've heard there is a way of punting the ball down the field yet another year from October.
Karina Gould is already musing about it.
She's saying, well, this tariff stuff, which is exactly why the liberals aren't actually all that concerned about resolving the tariff stuff, because it is useful for them to buy yet another year out from the election.
Yeah.
So she's already saying, oh, this tariff stuff, it's a national emergency.
Okay, then go to work, lady.
And quit proroguing parliament and go back to work.
It's such an emergency they would delay the election a year, but it is not such an emergency that they would un-prorogue parliament.
Make it make sense.
Well, Karina Gould truly is a loser.
I mean, if you and if you want evidence of that, folks, look at that fundraiser she had.
I think there were five people in attendance at some bar.
Not even Karina Gould was there.
What does that tell you?
But more importantly, Mark Carney last week said, if it means using the emergencies power to get his mandate through, he's going to use it.
There's not even an emergency.
There's not even a pandemic.
He's already talking about I'm ready to play that card.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
So, and he never specified what emergency powers he would use.
So I guess everything's on the table with these liberals because they think, you know, the more we kick the ball down the road, the more people will forget how bad we've made things and we'll get to be the people who fix things.
We'll get to try to beat Kamala Harris.
As I said earlier, ABC laundry detergent slogan.
Can you tell the difference?
I can't tell the difference.
In fact, there might be a difference.
Carney might actually be worse.
And that's one hell of a benchmark to get over given 10 years of vandalism to our nation.
But Sheila, I see we're almost at 225.
Do we have any more super chats?
We have a couple.
I just want to talk about one thing because I can't believe it took this long.
My muse, Randy Buassano, focus on Randy.
Coca Hontis.
He has just been banned.
His company has just been banned for five years.
This global health imports or GHI, you'll hear it called.
It has been put on the ineligibility and suspension list with the Department of Public Works.
Why?
Well, how much time do you have?
Randy Buassano and his space alien-looking androgynous partner, who he met on a plane, started a PPE import business just before Randy became an MP.
So they get together, they start this business because the pandemic is rolling in 2020.
Justin Trudeau calls a snap election 2021.
Randy becomes an MP, but he's also 50% owner of a PPE business.
Then Randy becomes in the government voting to maintain vaccine mandates and other COVID mandates, one of which is the requirement to wear PPE while you vote.
Guess whose company gets the sole source contract with Elections Canada to require or to provide the masks for people to vote?
It's Randy Buassano's company.
Sheila, wait a minute.
Let's be factually correct.
I thought it was the other Randy.
I was getting to that.
So the reason they got the soul source card, there's so many scandals.
It's like a big spider web.
And I'm there, the guy with all the sticky notes trying to keep track.
He gets the soul source contract because Randy identifies as Cree.
Randy is not Cree.
What was his?
He even gave him, he alleged somebody gave him a Cree name Strong Eagle Man, more like Strong Eagal Man, which is the heavily government-funded LGBTQ charity.
So then it comes out that Randy is helping run the company while he's a sitting MP.
So that's where we get the other Randy text messages.
His partner is called to testify about these conflicts of interest.
The conservatives get their hands on text messages showing that this partner is Steven Anderson is his name.
Just go Google that.
Steven Anderson Randy Buasono.
That he is helping run the company.
He's getting text messages from somebody named Randy who's on the West Coast while Randy Buasno is in Vancouver on a cabinet retreat helping run the day-to-day operations of the company.
Oh, also, the company also shares a post office box, the physical office box with a woman who's implicated in cocaine trafficking.
So Randy is either FocaHontis or Cocahontis because of the cocaine index Overlay in all of this, but anyways, finally, finally, his company, Global Health Imports, just now is no longer allowed to engage in obtaining government contracts.
Finally, finally, and not forever, just for five years.
And at this point, I just want to, on the Randy Bossano file, give Pierre Polyev a shout out for what I thought was the greatest moment in the House of Commons last year when Mr. Polyev was arguably going beyond parliamentary etiquette in skewering Randy Bossano.
And the speaker stepped in to, I guess, warrant an apology out of Pierre Polyev because of Mr. Bossono's hurt feelings.
And Polyev said, oh no, I was talking about the other ring.
Oh, I know.
And the look of the speaker didn't know what to do.
It was like Bambi looking at the high beams of a Hummer on Highway 401.
It was just, if you can Google that, folks, it's worth all your efforts.
Yeah.
You know who's really great on the Randy Blossano file is Michael Barrett.
And I was trying to think about who he would be in my fantasy football cabinet because Larry Brock is the AG.
He must be the AG.
If Polyev doesn't put him at AG, what are you even doing?
Then I was thinking, like, Michael Barrett, he's so good.
He's so sharp that I would hate to put him at a boring department.
But given the contracting scandals, I think we've got to put him at PSPC Procurement Canada.
He should be the procurement minister because he's going to get to the bottom of all these fraudulent contracts.
Even though it's a boring industry, it's so important.
He would be our Elon Musk, and that department would be our Doge.
Yes, completely.
I think it should be the Doge department.
You know, like you never really think about procurement unless there's some sort of scandal.
And he's been so strong on these scandals.
Jenny Byrne, if you're watching, in the future cabinet, it has to be, it must be Larry Brock at AG.
And Michael Barrett, he must be at procurement.
He must.
He has to be.
Okay.
Nothing Fishy About That00:03:36
We've got a couple of chats and then we'll wrap it up because then we've gone an hour and a half.
We've got one from UtiBursi, and that is how you say her name.
Oh, no, we've got Guillotine Press.
We'll do that one first.
Sorry, I jumped the gun.
Guillotine Press gives us 10 bucks and says, and this is from YouTube.
And he says, still monetized.
Yay.
Yeah, we'll see after a live stream with David.
We'll talk about tomorrow.
Do I have to go into Ezra's office tomorrow and do that?
Oh, please, Mr. Caballero, give me another chance.
Yeah, you got to be Bobby Bittman in there.
No, that was Johnny LaRue.
That was Johnny LaRue.
Yes.
Anyway, no, it should be fine.
I think I cut you off before you wandered too far into the danger zone.
I have a YouTube memo to send to you.
You must take 10 minutes and it's actually not even a memo.
It's a video.
And please.
In fairness, I've asked twice for it.
Folks, at this news agency, I am the last one to know anything.
I swear to God, I am the last.
I'll be in the hallway and I he'll hear people about, yeah, Menzies will be on the flight tomorrow morning.
I go, What flight?
Oh, yeah, don't you know you're going to Winnipeg?
I mean, please inform me.
Acknowledge me.
Don't listen to the first half of the meetings is what I think.
Okay, we've got UtiBursi gives us five bucks and says regarding Trudeau, he doesn't have a clue what hard work is.
Trump is right.
He is a loser.
Yeah.
Well, you know what?
I'll tell you, in the Department of Not Getting Elected, the highest office in the land, or before that, an MP, what was he, Sheila?
He was a part-time drama teacher.
I think, was it true he was a bouncer?
I know Justin Trudeau likes the box, but I just can't envision that.
I don't see it.
I don't see it.
I know a part-time drama teacher, snowboard instructor, debutante, but I don't know what else he was up to.
A teacher at a private girl school in Vancouver, which he had to resign from with a lawyer.
Nothing fishy about that, eh, Sheila?
You know what?
I have no proof.
And if the proof were there, somebody would have found it.
So there are a lot of rumors floating around and no actual substantive proof.
Somebody knows what happened.
And I can tell you.
You can say that it's not out there.
But anybody who's telling you these things has never produced any proof.
So just not that we haven't tried.
Sheila, as you know, myself and Lord knows we wouldn't Mr. Bexty.
We went down to South Carolina to talk to that teacher that poses with Trudeau in that blackface Arabian Nights photo, and nobody's talking.
I wonder why.
Maybe they had to, maybe they got paid off.
Maybe they signed an NDA.
I don't know.
Well, somebody knows, Sheila.
It's very unusual for a teacher to resign midterm, and it's even more unusual to come into the principal's office with your lawyer to give your resignation letter.
You're telling me there's nothing fishy about that?
That is not at all what I said.
I didn't say there's nothing fishy.
I just said we have to be careful about the things we say because we cannot rely on primary source documents here.
I didn't say anything wrong.
I'm just asking questions.
Exactly.
We're just asking questions.
Okay, I think that's it.
I think we're all caught up, Olivia.
Pillbox Hats and Proofs00:02:45
Is that right?
So good to see you again, Sheila.
Well, folks, thank you for tuning in.
Thank you, especially to those who made.
We got one more chat.
Hang tight, hang tight.
I have to, now I kicked myself under the live stream channel because I started working on my next task.
Shmengi.
Speaking of Second City, Stan or Yosh.
Shmengi gives us five bucks and said, did someone speak about SCTV?
You know, I must tell you, I have the Happy Wanderers tour shirt.
Somebody made a Happy Wanderer's like greatest hits on tour shirt.
And I saw it and I was like, what are you charging, good sir?
I'll pay whatever you're asking.
I'll dig it up and I'll find it because I am indeed also showing my age, my affinity for SC TV.
And you know what, but Sheila, that content never gets stale.
It's like a fine wine that ages.
If only Saturday Night Live could be 1% as funny as the SCTV in the 80s.
And you know what?
I'd like to educate the youngins.
And I sent Lincoln a video clip and the title was Uz in 10 years.
And it was Johnny LaRue doing street beef on Christmas Eve.
And it was filmed in Edmonton.
And you know that because the vapor coming out of John Candy's mouth, it must have been minus 40.
And the joke is nobody is around.
And LaRue is running just to keep warm going up to businesses that are all closed, of course, for Second City.
But I won't spoil it for you.
Johnny LaRue via Santa Claus gets his Christmas wish finally.
Google that, folks.
It is worth every ounce of your time.
Well, I think is it?
And I know Sheila's favorite character is Edith Prickley.
I do have my Edith Prickly glasses right here, right now.
There's the proof of the proverbial pudding.
Put them on, Sheila.
They are prescription, but they are.
I even have the leopard print on the side.
This is the closest I could get to her horn rim leopard print glasses.
Forget about leopard prints on the sunglasses, on the eyeglasses.
You got to get leopard print hats.
Oh, but everything, the pillbox hat.
And the pillbox hat.
That's just awesome.
Okay, then.
Well, folks, again, thank you so much for tuning in.
A special thank you for everyone that gave a donation.
It is how we keep the lights on here.
I will be back on Friday with the lovely Sheila Gunread.
Sheila will be here tomorrow with a rebel to be announced later.
