Sheila Gunn-Reid exposes Mark Carney’s climate hypocrisy: his 2021 Values book called for leaving 80% of fossil fuels unexploited, yet Brookfield Asset Management—his firm—expands pipelines globally while profiting from carbon trading tied to King Charles III’s Terra Carta. Gunn-Reid also slams Canada’s Energy Regulator for replacing the NEB’s rigorous engineering standards with activist-driven "national interest" assessments, driving Kinder Morgan out of Alberta. Meanwhile, Michelle Sterling debunks sensationalized residential school claims, like Kamloops’ 215 "unmarked graves," linked to UNDRIP’s rushed passage and China’s false genocide accusations, while defending Catholic Grey Nuns and Oblates who cared for disabled Indigenous children. The episode underscores how climate policies and historical narratives are weaponized against Western interests, fueling distrust in institutions. [Automatically generated summary]
I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Gunn Show.
Prime Minister Mark Carney wrote an enormous manifesto, a book like this thick, called Values, about why he thinks that we need to leave 80% of the world's fossil fuels in the ground.
Now, that also means leaving 80% of Alberta's fossil fuels in the ground.
He's never stepped away from his views that he expressed in his manifesto values.
He's never denied or said that he's changed his mind about what he wrote in values.
But now he's a prime minister.
He's a politician and he's saying some very political things like he's open to pipelines.
I imagine so, given that his company, Brookfield Asset Management, is investing in pipelines around the world, including in our competitor of the United States and in South America.
So, I mean, I imagine he is open to pipelines, but I don't believe him.
And today I'll tell you why I don't believe that Mark Carney has had a sudden come to Jesus moment on the value of the oil and gas sector here in Canada.
And I'll do that with my friend Michelle Sterling from Friends of Science.
We're going to discuss Mark Carney, pipelines, and then Michelle's work to uncover the truth about residential schools in Canada.
Take a listen.
Joining me now is good friend of Rebel News.
Good friend to, I think, taxpayers all over the country and good friend to truth.
My friend Michelle Sterling, she's the communications director of Friends of Science.
We're going to talk about things that are within the Friends of Science purview today, and we're also going to talk about things that are within the Michelle Sterling purview of her, I think, her expertise and research.
Michelle, it's been a long time since you've been on the show.
Far too long.
Thank you so much for agreeing to come on.
My pleasure.
My pleasure.
Big changes in the past month or two.
Yeah.
And I think, and, you know, I'll defer to you on this, but I think things are going to get worse, but just sneakier.
Like, I don't think carbon taxes are necessarily going away.
I really don't think pipelines are going to get built.
I'm not optimistic about that.
I think that the liberals are going to get better at confusing Canadians about where carbon pricing is and where it's being applied.
And I'd say yes, yes, yes to all of those things.
So the big win for the conservatives and Polyev was getting the carbon tax zeroed.
That would never have happened without, what, five years of the Canadian taxpayers Fed and the Conservatives just pounding away on Axe, the tax.
But unfortunately, the climate community really wants that carbon tax.
And even if you recall the World Economic Forum's little video about Yellow Nothing, one of the promises by 2020 is that there would be a global price on carbon.
And so they've been actively beavering away on that.
And at the last COP, which was COP29 in the fall, just days after President Trump was elected, they finally got this thing organized.
It's called Article 6.
They've been trying to do this for decades.
And there's a couple of explainers you can find online with the Nature Conservancy.
And they actually say in here that the whole point of the Paris Agreement was not to save the planet, but to enable international carbon trading.
So people probably have heard in the past, Premier Smith has talked about Article 6, and the whole idea would be that, let's say, we sell our natural gas to China, then somehow that counts against or reduces the emissions count on our national contributions, nationally distributed contributions in Canada,
because we would be reducing the use of coal in another part of the world, for example.
But at the time, you know, everybody said to her, no, no, no, that's ridiculous.
But meanwhile, secretly in the background, they're still working very, very hard on this.
And the election of President Trump, you know, really threw a spanner in the works because he's completely pulled back from the Paris Agreement, canceled all the previous climate commitments, won't be paying money into the loss and damage fund, pulled money out of some of the international organizations.
He's forbidden U.S. scientists to go to some of the IPCC planning sessions and defunded them entirely.
And we are probably going the other way with Mark Carney in charge, because as you mentioned before we went live, he wrote the book Values, and in it he thinks that 80% of the fossil fuels in the world must be kept in the ground.
So that's a problem for Alberta since we have 50% of the world's fossil fuels or oil anyway, most of it in the oil sands, 50% of the free world's oil reserves.
So that's a pretty big chunk.
So, you know, and we haven't heard throughout the election campaign and somewhat before as well, we've heard almost nothing from the tar sands campaign.
Now, the tar sands campaign is a huge network of environmental groups and climate activists, and it's networked internationally.
I did a little video about this called Pipe Dream, where I sort of count down all the things that would have to change in Canada for us to build a pipeline, all the laws we'd have to change, but we also have to disassemble this very tight network, very powerful network.
And just so people know, after Mark Carney was elected as leader of the Liberal Party and de facto prime minister, he met with the senior ENGOs the morning before he was sworn in.
Now, can you imagine, had he met with, say, Odi Oil and Gas Group, or the Premier of Alberta and Premier Scott Mo or Ontario auto manufacturers before being sworn in?
You know, it's almost like they extracted a climate promise from him.
Who knows?
I was not at that meeting.
There hasn't been any reporting on it other than that the National Observer said that happened.
So, you know, it's a very powerful faction.
It's not going to go away.
And now we have this new climate change and environment minister, Julie de Brusen.
Yes.
Yeah, who seems to be more extreme than Stephen Gilbo, if that's possible.
Yeah, I mean, she has taken credit for the plastic straw ban, which is one of the most extremist, yet simultaneously stupid things ever done by the last Liberal government.
She's anti-pipeline.
She's a climate zealot.
She's one of those, I ride my bike to work, so you definitely don't need a car kind of ladies.
I think things are just going to get worse and worse.
And while Mark Carney is telling some media that he would be in favor potentially of a pipeline, first of all, we should have a spider web of pipelines going in all directions in this country, given our vast oil and gas reserves.
But you cannot build a pipeline without removing the bureaucratic and policy prohibitions to a private sector company coming and investing in Canada.
And while Bill C-69 is there and all the crazy, you know, gender-based analysis plus thrown into any sort of major energy approval process, you're not going to get a company coming in and saying, yes, let's restart energy ease.
They're going to look at it and say, you know what, we're going to go somewhere where the investment climate is a little more favorable, like Iraq or Nigeria, where you just have to pay off the local warlord instead of deal with the Liberal government.
Yeah, that's right.
You know, about the time that Kinder Morgan dropped tools, stopped work on Transmountain expansion, and that was just before the Liberals were forced to buy it.
It was PPHB energy bankers out of Houston who issued their newsletter and they said that Canada had become hostile to business because the government was busy picking winners and losers.
And they said that for all of the industries in Canada, this has an impact, especially because many of these industries like mining, forestry, oil and gas, you know, they have a 30-year horizon on development projects.
And ordinary people don't know that.
But by the time there's a pipeline happening or a big project happening, people have been chipping away at that for 20, 30 years.
So, you know, that's a big investment of time and energy only to come to near fruition and have a bunch of activists show up and, you know, cancel your project because of some little flower or beagle or whatever.
You know, and people don't realize Alberta actually was the leader in Canada on environment and climate issues.
In 2002, we wrote the legislation on climate and environment.
We had the first GHG trading process in Alberta, only for large emitters, the carbon tax for large emitters.
And, you know, we had extremely good environmental regulations here in this province that was leadership at the time.
And we've just been smeared ever since by all these activists and principally people like Stephen Gilbo.
He was part of Equitaire.
And there's a very strong group of the leading environmental groups called the Strathmere Alliance.
This was put together by Marlow Reynolds, formerly of the Pembina Institute.
And these guys are very, very powerful and influential.
They generally operate behind the scenes, but you can read about 13 or 14 articles that Parker Gallant has written about them.
And Parker is a retired former international banker.
So he's on a par with Mr. Corney in terms of his life experience in that field.
So, you know, Parker's articles show the tremendous influence, hidden influence that these groups have that people are not aware of.
And they send them their $30, you know, saying, oh, of course I want to save the planet for my children.
In the meantime, these guys are out blocking every kind of energy or resource development, partly because they ultimately want to facilitate Article 6 international carbon trading.
So this has been going on for a long time, ever since Kyoto.
Kyoto was back in the 90s.
It was the forerunner to the Paris Agreement.
And at that time, Enron, which was a big energy company in the States, they were real promoters of this international carbon markets.
And then they went bankrupt.
So I find it interesting that there's an energy analyst named Anas Al-Haji on X, and he says that carbon accounting is the mother of all Enrons.
So we're looking at a global Enron if we go into this carbon world.
But that's what they want.
So that, you know, Stephen Harper used to say, oh, all these environmental groups want to turn Canada into a giant park.
They do.
A giant park where they buy and sell carbon credits.
And I just want to get this into, and you know who else is into it?
Brookfield.
The king.
Oh, the king.
King Charles in Brookfield.
Oh, I'm sure they're into it very deeply, but I think with entropy, in fact, out of Calgary.
But the king has this thing called Terra Carta.
So to my mind, it's no surprise that he's coming to give the speech from the throne because they're all in it together.
Oh, my goodness.
I just hope he doesn't destroy the monarchy before Princess Catherine's lovely family can take over.
It's, yeah.
I wanted to quickly touch on something because I saw a video that you did on it and I thought it broke it down beautifully.
The Liberals replaced the National Energy Board with their Canada Energy Regulator.
And that's, I think, really when things started to go bad.
And one of their criticisms was, well, the National Energy Review Board approves everything.
And how can that possibly be good?
But there's a reason they approved everything.
National Energy Board's Fall00:06:54
And that's because everybody knew the rules.
So they could make the proposal which conformed to the rules.
And the National Energy Regulator changes the rules and changes the playing field as it goes.
And so you have these international companies trying to invest billions and billions of dollars into a project.
And they don't know what the rules are going in.
And the rules going in are going to be totally different coming out the other side.
Yeah, that's right.
I saw, I was at a presentation once in Calgary, and I don't remember the fellow's name, unfortunately, but he described the National Energy Board, which had been operating for about 60 years.
And most people in Canada had never heard of it, really, you know, until EcoJustice decided to smear its reputation and destroy it.
But like the way that this fellow described it, he said, you know, the reason why it's the envy of the world is that he compared it to like going to university.
If you want to be an engineer and you go to university, the university gives you the parameters you have to meet, how much you have to pay, how many classes you have to take, what grades you have to get, when you have to complete them by, what practicums you have to do.
You know, it's very straightforward.
And if you meet all of those requirements, then you will probably be granted an engineering degree.
And then you'll go on and you'll do your internship with other engineers and ultimately you'll become a professional engineer.
But, you know, those parameters are very clear.
So if you don't pay, you don't pass.
You know, if you don't get the grades, you don't pass.
But what the NEB did was it made it very clear what you needed to do.
And they also did a thorough socioeconomic assessment as well.
So they did, actually, Robert Lyman corrected me at one point and he said they did tell a couple of companies that they didn't pass, but for the most part, they did pass.
And so what the activists wanted to do was to add climate change into that and make that sort of the overriding purpose of the evaluation.
And they also turned it into a very subjective kind of process.
The NEB was very technical.
And in the video that we did called Pipe Dreams, where I'm wearing my Euler shirt on my deck with my Jasper the Bear beer in hand.
Yeah, it was very technical.
In that video, you can see the boxes.
I think they had 33,000 boxes, 30,000 boxes of technical documentation that they had to send to Ottawa for Energy East.
So there's a picture of that ready and shipped, right?
So people don't realize, like, these companies have hundreds of different people from regulatory experts to engineers, geophysical site analysis, surveyors, landmen.
You know, they have hundreds of people working to develop just this project to send it to the NEB.
And then at the NEB, they had hundreds of highly qualified people, like real professional engineers, who would look at the work from the professional engineers and tick all the boxes or say, you know what, we think that should go back to the drawing board.
So it was a very, very expensive and technical process.
But, you know, you want these pipelines to operate for 50, 60, 100 years with little to no maintenance.
So you want that level of excellence.
And now this whole process has been degraded thanks to EcoJustice and their campaign, their smear campaign against the National Energy Board.
It's been degraded to something where they could do all this very technical work and then someone will come in and say, I don't like it.
I don't think it's in the national interest.
Let's not do it.
So, you know, who would invest all that time and energy to have that kind of outcome?
And the person saying that may not even be any expert at all.
Right.
I mean, look no further than the gender-based analysis plus that they put into this stuff.
What does that have to do with anything that I have to, all of a sudden, if I'm trying to build a multi-billion dollar pipeline project, ask the local feminist group how the pipeline makes them feel?
Why?
Yeah.
And not to mention, although, you know, affirmative action is not necessarily a negative thing to help people who do need a bit of a hand up, the practical reality is that engineering is a very difficult field.
And white males far outnumber anybody else.
Not because it's racist.
It's just a matter of demographics in North America and a matter of the fact that it's a very complex, challenging field.
And it requires people who really love that detail and are willing to spend that time with their calculators and their models, like running things over and over again to make sure that it works because they have an ethical and legal mandate to protect society, right?
So it's not just like, oh, we do this because we're OCD, you know.
We do this because we don't want to have, whether you're like a civil engineer or a building engineer, you know, we don't want to have your building fall down.
We don't want to have you fly off the road because the camber isn't right.
We don't want you to have your, you know, the pipeline burst because we use the wrong kind of weld.
You know, we want everything to work as long as it can, as safely as it can, and be good for society.
So, you know, and they're up against the activists who are planning on saving the planet, but have no technical background like that and have no appreciation that they could not be out there with their polyethylene science without big oil.
Right.
So it's a ludicrous combination, really.
Just changing lanes really fast.
And I could talk about how terrible Mark Carney will be for the oil and gas sector forever.
But I want to focus a little bit on the last portion of the show on your research into the Kamloops Indian Residential School and the discovery or frankly lack of discovery there.
Kimberly Murray's Disappearance Mystery00:06:21
You've been following this closely since the very beginning.
You've been writing extensively on your substack about this.
You've been critical of the people who are attempting to rewrite history with such documentaries.
I don't know if I should even call it that.
Fictional account as Sugar Cane, the movie that was, I mean, I don't recommend you watch it, but I suppose someone might watch it for themselves.
It's on Disney Plus.
But unpack the latest story about a child that disappeared allegedly at one of these residential schools, because that has really been one of the criticisms.
If someone is missing, if someone was disappeared at a residential school, give us a name.
And I guess they tried, but even that doesn't quite work out.
Yeah, well, this is an interesting story.
There's a woman named Kimberly Murray.
Many people might be familiar with her name.
She was the special interlocutor on missing children in unmarked graves related to Indian residential schools.
So that's her very long title.
And she was contracted for about two and a half years.
During that time, she put out three reports, each one becoming more and more hysterical.
And I've covered most of her reports in either my substack or my Medium articles, but quite often in her articles or in her reports, she would defeat herself.
For instance, she tells a story of Mary Yvonne Ukalinik, I think her last name is, a little girl from the High Arctic whose mother was sent to a TB sanatorium in the south.
Therefore, there was only the father to care for the kids.
And this little girl was sent on to a hostel and subsequently got TB.
So she probably originally got it from her mom and then was sent down east as she became progressively more and more ill and needed more and more care and ended up dying in the Cecil Batter's home, I think it is in Montreal.
So, you know, people tried to make out that this was a bad and a terrible thing because she never came home.
Well, this was back in the 60s, I believe.
And, you know, even today, the care for her would not exist there.
So the last report of Kimberly Murray's tried to make the case that children were being disappeared as, you know, in places like Argentina and Guatemala where there were military coups and people literally were disappeared.
They were snatched from their home in the middle of the night.
But in those cases, the families would stand outside consulates with pictures of their family and the name and dates underneath.
You know, it was very clear who they were.
In this case, there's now this fellow named Percy O'Nabogan, which has been in the press a lot lately, especially on CBC.
And they claim that this child was partially paralyzed and epileptic, that he was taken from his home by force to a residential school and subsequently passed on to various medical institutions in the south of Ontario, far from his home, and that he ended up dying at age 27 near Woodstock.
And so the family found him partly through the work of Kimberly Murray and her last report.
So he is a case, a seminal case of a child having been disappeared, right, by force.
But the thing is that if you look at the death certificates for the family in that area, you find that Percy Nabogan died at age three and a half months old.
So they've dug up somebody in southern Ontario who is not who they claim to be.
And Percy Nabogan, since he was only three and a half years old, could not have been at home folding laundry and helping his mom.
And apparently there was a twin of Percy named Harold.
So there is no trail on Harold, but it is theoretically possible that Harold was the partial paralysis epileptic child.
And that it is possible that such a child would end up at an Indian residential school for infirmary care rather than schooling, because the child would never pass the medical exam.
Because the parents had to apply to have their children enter.
They had to provide a medical exam.
Both had to be approved in Ottawa before the child would be admitted.
However, as Robert Carney writes in his critique of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples report from 1996, in it he says, they should have acknowledged that these residential schools, especially in remote locations, were very much the social services and medical hub of the region.
And they would take in disabled, orphaned, ill children, people with developmental handicaps.
So it is possible that this Harold may have gone there and he may have been sent on for more care.
But in those times, people often, families often turned a difficult family member over to the government as a ward of the state to be cared for because we didn't have social services at the community level.
That didn't develop until well into the 60s.
And, you know, a child like that needed additional care.
So The family and Kimberly Murray have campaigned on this issue saying that Canada committed a human rights crime because they took this kid away from his family.
But obviously he was not taken away.
He was allowed to go away by his family, if indeed this is the same person.
But they and the CBC story led to the Ontario government, there was such an outcry, the Ontario government said, okay, even though he was an adult when he died, here's $45,000 so that you can exhume him and take him home and repatriate him, right?
Indigenous Reconciliation Reset00:08:36
So, you know, this could be a turning point for all of Canada, that all of a sudden every person who ever had an Indigenous relative at a TB sanatorium or any other facility, reformatory, a mental hospital, they could all be saying, oh, well, now we want to go and dig up our relative who we haven't thought about in 100 years and repatriate them home and you have to pay for it.
So this is, even though it's a small case, it's a very important turning point.
And the thing is, they couldn't have dug up Percy Nabogon.
And in fact, the headstone for the fellow in Ontario says, Percy O no Began.
So it's not even the same spelling as his name.
So it's really, you know, and I have to credit Nina Green for all this detective work.
I mean, she just buries herself in the archives and keeps coming up with little fragments of things.
And, you know, as you piece them together, you see that the puzzle they're trying to create and show the public doesn't fit at all.
Yeah, your substack has all the screenshots.
You've got archival records on this topic.
And at the end, I'm left horrified that they've body snatched somebody from his rightful grave, it sounds like.
I know.
And it's so funny because what do we hear about Kamloops?
I mean, funny, it's sad, but ironic.
What do we hear about Kamloops?
Oh, we can't disturb the 215 because they're resting.
This is sacred ground.
And in our culture, we never disturb anyone.
So we can't do any excavations there in check, even though it's pretty clear that the area where the 215 anomalies were found is lying over top of a former set of 2,000 feet of septic trenches.
So your little children at school are tying orange ribbons to a fence in remembrance of septic tiles.
How bad is that?
And the other thing that people don't realize, the Kamloops find was the trigger that pushed UNDRIP, the United Nations Declaration of Rights of Indigenous People.
It pushed that through Parliament.
It had been parked for quite a few months.
Six premiers and several First Nations bands wanted some changes.
They wanted clarification.
You know, what did consent really mean?
Was that a veto?
Was it retroactive?
You know, what exactly were we getting ourselves into?
Well, as soon as that Kamloops news hit, boom, it went through Parliament like that.
Within less than a month, it passed and received royal assent.
And people need to realize that the day after, China accused Canada of genocide at the UN and it cited the Kamloops incident.
So, you know, these things are connected.
We know there's a lot of interference in Canada from China.
Sam Cooper and Jason James on Brave New Normal have been tracking that, doing a great job of exposing all these things that people don't know are happening.
This is a very important issue because really Canada is now running on, at best, a lie and at worst an exaggeration.
So, you know, we have to turn this around.
And anyway, I hope people will read my sub stack and have a look at my mini documentary rebutting sugarcane.
It's called The Bitter Roots of Sugar Cane.
It's free of charge.
It's on my substack.
I think it's great, by the way.
I think you've done incredible work and simply in the interest of truth.
Yes.
Because this lie kicked off church burnings, arsons, and vandalisms, hate crimes against Christians all across this country.
It maligned the good work, I think, of the Catholic Church.
I see this as a Catholic in these otherwise impoverished regions.
Now, that's not to say that it was all good and all benevolent, but it is a nuanced story.
And apparently we're not allowed nuance on this.
If you ask the people on the other side of the debate, it has made lying really easy.
Somebody's body's been snatched at this point.
And now the Chinese who are actually committing a genocide are accusing Canadians of being genocide heirs and nobody seems to care.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, and I say this as a non-Catholic, it's a blood libel against all Roman Catholics, against all of the good work that the grey nuns and the Oblate fathers and all the other Christian denominations did in Canada with the native people.
And, you know, most of the children who went to school, their families had already converted to Christianity long before that.
So the whole idea that they were being forcibly converted is also wrong.
And obviously, many of the children who went to these schools were homesick, were lonely, some were abused.
Many of them were orphans.
Many of them came from homes that had domestic violence or that were absolutely destitute.
And they were rescued from those homes.
So, you know, thousands of Indigenous orphans would not have had a life at all.
And if you read the online accounts of the grey nuns coming west, one of the first things they did was to adopt children and give them a place to live because subsistence people didn't have room for the developmentally handicapped or the or the orphans that were an extra mouth to feed when they really were relying on living off the land.
And these women, especially, put up with unbelievable hardship that should be honored and not disrespected as is done today.
But anyway, have a look and see.
Once you have some historical context, the picture changes quite dramatically and things make a lot more sense.
Yeah, we're all just supposed to forget Father Lacombe, aren't we?
They just want to write what he did out of history, that he was instrumental in brokering peace between the Cree and the Black, but he had a real heart for Canada's Indigenous people.
And we're just supposed to pretend like that work didn't happen, never existed, isn't an integral part of the settling of this province.
But you know, we have a new pope now, Pope Leo.
So perhaps this is the time for reconciliation reset.
Yes.
Maybe we should make all these things clear to him because I think with Pope Francis, may he rest in peace, I think with him, coming from Argentina and a background where there actually was this kind of military coup and genocide of innocent people, disappeared people.
You know, for him, it would be quite possible that it did happen here.
I don't think a lot of, and I don't think a lot of modern day bishops actually know anything about Canadian history or the Old Blades or the grey nuns.
I think they're completely oblivious to it.
So they also probably go, well, okay, it could happen.
You know, and Christians tend to go, I'll just take that slap and turn the other cheek rather than saying, wait a minute.
So there's a very interesting priest named Father Cristino Bouvet.
And he's got a very interesting interview online.
He's an Indigenous Catholic priest and his mother went to residential school.
So I think people should listen to what he has to say as well.
Yes.
Saint Pope John Paul II really had a heart for Indigenous people around the world.
If you ever need a pick-me-up, Google John Paul II Hugging Indigenous.
Just put that into your image search.
And he would find an Indigenous person in any part of the world and just hug them.
He was our, he really led on reconciliation and but also on truth.
Bringing Light to Truth00:07:50
Michelle, tell us how people can support the work that you do to bring light to this issue on Substack and on Medium and then separately the work that you do to bring light to the truth of the climate issue.
Well you can look for Sorry No More, exposing the bitter roots of sugarcane.
That's my Substack.
And I'm on Medium under my own name, Michelle Sterling.
And then with regard to Article 6 and all the climate issues, you can look at friendsofscience.org.
And we're on all social media pretty much.
We have a very lively debate going on all the time on Twitter and Facebook and LinkedIn.
So and YouTube, we've got lots of YouTube.
Some of them are very detailed explainers that help people get a grip on what's going on.
We've got one about Canada's curious connection, climate connection to the EU, another one on the trade war, and we've got a number of shorter ones as well.
So have a look at our YouTube channel.
Lots of stuff there.
And thank you, Sheila.
Yeah, of course.
Before I let you go, though, I want to give you the opportunity to let people know how they can support the work that you do because you are up against the well-funded green machine of environmental NGOs.
Well, for Friends of Science, you can become a member.
It's $40 for one year and $80 for three years.
And for that, you will be receiving our newsletters.
We have volunteers who are cranking out summaries of world events either on policy, climate policy, or on new climate science and grey literature papers.
So that gives you some insights.
We also do a quarterly newsletter and we do annual events.
As a member, you get a small discount as well.
And it would just be very supportive for us to have more people get our material and share it with other people as they see fit.
So we think an informed public makes better decisions.
Absolutely.
And that's the last thing the other side wants.
Michelle, thanks so much for coming on the show.
Thanks so much for your commitment to telling the truth.
And of course, go, Oilers.
Go, Oilers.
Okay.
Well, as always, we turn over the last portion of the show to you because without you, there is no rebel news.
We will never take a penny from Mark Carney to do the work that we do.
So I want to know what you think about the work that we do.
And that's why I give you my email address right now.
It's Sheila at RebelNews.com.
Put gun show letters in the subject line.
If you have something to say about what Michelle and I had to say today, I'm sure she enjoys the feedback too.
But don't let that be the only way that you can get in touch with me.

All right?
So sometimes I go looking over there for your comments, but today this one is from the email inbox.
And this one is from Sharon, who writes, Hi, I have heard about the longest ballot coming to the new riding for Pierre Polyev.
So the longest ballot campaign was the one that targeted Carleton.
And it was a bunch of election-meddling busybodies who used people with names that were above P in the alphabet, so before P in the alphabet.
And they were just also rounds, by which I mean people who weren't really candidates, but they were able to get the required number of signatures to get their names on the ballot so that they pushed Pierre Polyev's name down.
And it was basically to fatigue the voter and just say, okay, fine, we'll just check here or whatever.
Now, I don't know how effective that was because it was those people were also able to find the liberal candidate there, right?
But they're doing it again.
Apparently, they're bringing the same strategy to Battle River Crowfoot, Alberta.
Sharon asks, can you talk about this?
I have read it has something to do with the first past and post system, but it doesn't make sense to me that they would target Pierre and not the Liberal Party.
Also, who calls the by-election that Pierre is thinking of running in?
Well, Pierre Polyev is not thinking of running in Battle River Crowfoot.
He definitely is.
The conservative MP who should never have to buy a beer for himself anywhere in Alberta for the rest of his life, Damien Kurek, stepped aside before he even qualified for his pension.
Think about that for a second.
Jagmeet Singh damaged the country for the good of his pension.
And Damian Kurek damaged his pension for the good of the country.
Right?
That's the definition of selfish versus selfless.
Now, if they do organize, I mean, it's sleazy.
It's taking advantage of our democratic system to try to confuse the voter, but it's going to be nothing but a waste of time in Battle River Crowfoot.
That is one of the most conservative voting regions, not just in Canada, in North America, if not the world.
Routinely, the conservatives take that riding with over 80% of the vote.
So, I mean, they can try to pull this stuff again, but I don't think it is going to be effective.
And, you know, it was sleazy, but I don't think that it really tipped the scale either in Carlton because they were able to find Bruce Fanjoy's name on the ballot, ensuring that he got more votes than Polyev.
Now, F, of course, is ahead of P on the ballot, but still, right?
Anyway, I hope that answers your question.
There's a reason why they chose Battle River Crowfoot.
Damian Kurek, he's going to go back to farming and being a dad, which I think honestly, and I think you'll agree with me, far more productive careers than being a politician.
And I think the conservative movement owes Damian Kurek a real, a real thanks, a real debt of gratitude.
All right.
Well, everybody, that's the show for today.
Thank you so much for tuning in.
I'll see everybody in the same time, in the same place next week.
I've got to get out of here.
If you're watching this, this is pre-recorded.
I've got to get to Calgary because we're hosting one of our done getting screwed town halls on separation.
To learn more about a done-getting screwed town hall, coming to a neighborhood near you, go to donegettingscrewed.com.
We've just added Regina.
We're looking to add more dates across the prairies.
So anyway, it's donegettingscrewed.com.
There you'll find some really cool Western separatist style merch that I had my little hands involved in developing.
