Sheila Gunread and Tamara Ugolini dissect Canada’s recent chaos: bomb threats at six airports (Ottawa, Montreal, Edmonton, etc.) linked to Iranian infiltration risks, despite $75M mismanagement in the vaccine injury program—60% diverted to Oxero—while Global News allegedly plagiarized their earlier reporting. Alberta’s new Sheriff’s Police Service and federal immigration surges (1.45M work permits, 7.12% temporary residents by 2026) clash with infrastructure strains like Toronto’s 10% unemployment. They expose lobbying scandals, including Sheila Copps’ $100M lawsuit over a $2B COVID procurement contract, and question media accountability, concluding that systemic failures demand urgent scrutiny beyond partisan narratives.

Oh, hey, good afternoon, everybody.
Good morning if you're in the West.
This is Rebel Roundup, our painfully live show, wherein we talk about the news of the day.
Completely unscripted.
We had a couple of technical difficulties before we jumped on the stream, but I think we have it sorted out.
I'm your regular host, Sheila Gunread, who was indeed the technical problem.
And today I'm joined by my friend and colleague, Tamara Ugolini in beautiful Coburg, Ontario.
And boy, Tamara is fighting to keep it that way.
Tamara, how's it going?
Yeah, pretty good, Sheila.
Just happy to be not the person causing the technical difficulties today with my lagging rural connection.
You're supposed to be Musk to the rescue over there.
Yeah, I don't know.
I know I have about a two-second lag on my stream also.
So that will prove to be difficult.
You're probably going to hear some over talk from us, for our dear and fortunate viewers.
But let's get right into it.
Let's tell everybody what we're doing today because we've already, we're already seven minutes late.
Tamara, you want to take this over?
Yeah, of course.
So if you're joining us, this is our daily stream, as Sheila mentioned, where we are sometimes painfully live, including technical difficulties.
Today, we're going to chat about the bomb threats that happened across the country today, some things to do with Alberta's police force, and of course, vaccine injury support program failures has hit the mainstream despite my years of original reporting on the topic.

Iranian Threat Halts Operations00:14:55
Or maybe you have a perspective that we haven't considered and would like to have it featured.
So we always welcome those super chats, super thanks, Rumble Rants, whatever platform that you prefer to join us on.
Now, right off the hop, why don't we get into some of Canada's immigration problems, which came to a head this morning as ground operations were, well, quite literally, ground to a halt at six Canadian airports.
Airports have since returned to normal, but the breach happened, I mean, depending on your time zone, around 7 a.m. this morning, and it halted service at various locations.
Ottawa, Montreal, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Calgary, and Vancouver.
Yeah.
That comes from a Nav Canada spokesperson.
This we're pulling from city news for this news jack.
But basically, they say that despite the security threat that happened this morning at multiple NAV Canada sites, i.e. our airports, all operations have now returned to normal.
And this came, you know, they're investigating this security incident, as they call it.
And operations, of course, have since been disrupted.
And so several flights, welcome to Canada, nothing new there, but several flights have been delayed.
And the investigation, I guess, is ongoing after this, what they call small impact on operations.
So the calls came in, yeah, as it says right here, around 7 a.m. Eastern of a specific bomb, a specific area of the airport of a bomb threat.
And then, and then they undertook a targeted evacuation to conduct checks.
And so far, nothing suspicious has been found.
So of course, it sounds like it was an empty threat, but nonetheless, you have to take this seriously.
And I mean, this is what happens when you import the third world into Canada without checks or balances in place, lose a bunch of people who should be deported, upwards of maybe half a million of them.
And I guess just kind of hope that the kinks work themselves out and hope for the best, as is the Liberal government's way.
Yeah, they say the investigation is ongoing.
Airport activities have continued and have not been disrupted by this.
That's a weird way to say that we had to evacuate parts of the airport, including the control tower at the Trudeau International Airport, which is a major international hub into Canada.
The NAV CAN control tower was evacuated and flight operations have since resumed.
Now, they say in Edmonton, the security incident had minimal impact on operations, including a handful of delays, but that's because it happened at 5 a.m.
And I think central security there doesn't really open until 5 a.m., if I recall correctly, because I have to take those hideous early morning flights.
But, and likewise with Calgary, just because of the time zone issues, Vancouver probably as well.
But they're not giving us a ton of information outside that this was a bomb threat.
Now, I'd like to know what the bomb threat was about, if indeed the person said.
But it seems like they're keeping a pretty tight lid on this.
I wonder if this is one of those things where we'll only find out it was actually perhaps ISIS-motivated terrorism at sentencing, like what we're finding out with the knife slasher in Vancouver.
Yeah, two or three years too late.
It will come out in the news.
And I mean, this comes the very next day after the Toronto Sun article.
Headlines, lax immigration vetting makes Canada prime target for Iranian infiltration, says Secure Canada.
And subheading, I mean, you literally can't make this stuff up.
Reluctance to deport IRCC, which is Immigration Refugees, Citizenship Canada, caseworkers pressured to maintain low rejection rates makes Canada an appealing target for foreign agents.
I mean, you don't say, really.
The article goes on, or I should say starts rather, that Canada needs real and rigorous reform of its immigration bureaucracy, which we've been saying for years, to deal with agents of the Iranian regime.
And it urges a Canadian terror watchdog.
But our public safety minister, well, he's compromised himself.
doesn't even know what kinds of guns are trying the government is attempting to confiscate.
I mean, these people are completely useless.
I don't know how they get handed these portfolios.
And then we wonder why things are a complete mess and totally awry.
And Canada's facing bomb threats across six major airports.
This is no one could see the proof in the pudding of this.
I mean, really?
Well, and how many of these IRGC generals and officials are already in Canada?
We remember during the pandemic when we were all banned from the gyms and then somebody spotted one of the police chief types from Tehran who was involved in the killing of a Canadian journalist just working out in a Canadian hotel gym.
So nothing to see here.
They're here already.
In fact, I think it was only in 2024 that they listed officially the IRGC as a terrorist entity.
So, I mean, these people are here already in the open.
I mean, who do we think is really organizing these anti-Israel protests?
Think those are organic with all their matching kefirs and matching signs?
The money's coming from somewhere.
Now, if you honked your horn during the Freedom Convoy, they traced your money as though they were a terrorist using FinTrack, which is what they used to track down terrorist funding and cut it off.
That's what they did to you if you gave 20 bucks to a trucker.
But have they ever used FinTrack to deal with these ongoing Hamas protests?
Not even a little bit.
And I'm fairly convinced that that money is coming from Iran.
In fact, the Americans are also convinced that that money funding those similar protests in their cities are also that it's also coming from Iran.
And they're pretty upfront about it.
In Canada, we only trace money of people involved in the honking.
Well, I wrote this piece up last week.
We know that former Iranian regime members have already come into the country.
They post it on their social media.
This guy here is a former Iran propagandist and he came into Canada, just waltz straight in, no big deal, nothing to see here.
This was brazenly flies in the face of sanctions that Canada has on former Iranian regime members to not enter the country.
And yet there he is.
This post, the photo here that we pulled is directly from his Instagram post.
He announced his departure to Canada with this Instagram photo, flaunting farewell, including a fun and heartfelt embrace to his 250,000 followers.
And I translated some of the post here for you into England, sorry, into English.
Heading to Canada tonight, I will return to my homeland at the right time.
I will still be with you and for you, said Mahdi Nasiri on April the 7th.
And this is, again, flies in the face of sanctions that Canada has against Iranian regime members, especially as Iranian Canadians continue to report threats and intimidation linked to Tehran.
So, and then he also posted another one, and I don't think it made it into this article, actually, but he posted another one where he's flying from, I think it was Calgary and landing in Toronto and says, like, so he lands, yeah, dated May 25th.
He lands at Toronto Airport, Pearson Airport with a caption that reads, Toronto Airport after a four-hour flight from Calgary, similar to the air distance from Tehran to Frankfurt, visiting Toronto, a city with tens of thousands of Iranian immigrants.
And now this guy claims to be reformed now.
He claims to be a liberal.
So I guess it's okay if you ask the government.
Okay, but you still have to atone for the things that you were involved in.
And if you are a member of a terrorist group, I don't think you should be wandering around in Canada.
And the IRGC is a terrorist group.
Now, for those of you who think I was just making it up that the Tehran police chief was in a Toronto gym after his involvement in the murder of a Canadian photojournalist, here it is.
Ortes Atale, he was in Canada just working out in the gym at the hotel that you couldn't use if you were unvaccinated at the time.
That's a problem with this government.
He was only saying he was involved in the 2003 beating death while she was in custody of an Iranian Canadian photojournalist, Zahra Kazemi.
She was arrested in 2010.
Terrific treatment.
She was arrested.
And she suffered absolutely.
Yeah, for taking photos of the prison.
And anyways, then she was detained and then she died in prison.
And I just want you to think, let's get nostalgic for a second.
Let's roll back the clock some 13 years back when we actually considered the IRGC bad guys and the Iranian government, not the Iranian people, bad guys.
In 2012, and I remember this because the liberals were sort of outraged about it.
All of a sudden, Stephen Harper, one day, closes the Canadian embassy in Iran and then expelled Iranian diplomats from Canada because even the Iranian diplomats were intimidating Iranian expats who had fled the regime here.
They were doing it out of the embassy here.
And so, and John Baird, who was our principled foreign affairs minister at the time, said Iran is the most significant threat to global peace and security.
Now, that's Canada's policy on Iran 13 years ago.
My God, has it changed?
Yeah, that how did we get here?
I keep asking myself.
And then every day that goes on, more madness ensues.
And it's like, does no one else care or see this?
Or why are we not putting things in place to stop and prevent further erosion of our national security?
This immigration thing is finally being talked about.
I mean, we spent, I think, the better part of four years throughout the pandemic when the floodgates were initially opened to mass immigration, unfettered, unmitigated.
And so it took four years to get the conversation going.
But now the conversation has been going for, I don't know, I would say about a year now.
And it really ramped up kind of pre-election, but wasn't such a hot topic, I think, as it should have been during the campaign because the snap nature of the election or sorry, of the writ period.
But nonetheless, this has been an ongoing issue for years.
And we're just continuing unabated.
It's worse because we're rolling back Canada's principled foreign policy on Iran.
want to go back to that uh article from 2012 when john baird recalled all the canadian diplomats and threw out gave all the iranian diplomats five days to get their asses out of canada he said canada's position on the regime in just okay sorry for a second imagine canada's foreign affairs minister saying these things melanie jolie imagine Canada's position on the regime in Iran is well known.
Canada views the government of Iran as the most significant threat to global peace and security in the world today, Baird said in a statement.
The statement cited Iran's support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime, its failure to comply with UN resolutions on its nuclear program, which we're still dealing with today, and its threats against Israel.
It also makes reference to Iran's blatant disregard for the Vienna Convention that guarantees the protection of its diplomatic personnel.
Imagine Melanie Jolie making such a principled statement these days.
No way.
Wouldn't happen.
Wouldn't happen.
She's way too soft and neutral and incompetent to do such a thing.
And then, you know, meanwhile, the conversation and the pressure is heating up on this immigration talk.
And we have this opinion piece from the Globe and Mail.
Why have a target for cutting temporary immigration if Canada can't meet it?
I mean, yeah, I mean, we really don't need to say anything more than that.
But the federal government made this like flimsy announcement last year that it would reduce the portion of the country's temporary residents to 5% of Canada's total population by the end of next year, 2026, framing it as like a necessary thing.
And I completely agree.
I don't think it goes far enough, but nonetheless, this was framed as a necessary correction to years of unsustainable growth in the number of such immigrants.
And then Ottawa introduced a series of reforms aiming to slow this rise, namely for international students and temporary foreign workers.
Immigration Math Matters00:03:18
And yet, what do we see coming in now with the data?
Well, Canada's temporary resident population has continued to climb more than doubling since 2021.
After peaking at 7.35% of the total population last year, the share declined only modestly to 7.12% by April of this year.
That is still well above the 5% goal.
So like, what are we doing here?
We're flouting all these numbers, saying all these things, and then not acting on any of it.
Yeah.
And for those people on the left who might say, well, that's just a racist thing to say.
Do you know who wrote this?
It's Parisa Mabubi.
Now, she is a lady who, based on her ethnic back name, last name, probably is not a racist.
She's the senior policy analyst at CD Howe, where she leads the Institute's human capital policy program.
So this is not like a us versus them thing.
This is just our economy and our society cannot handle these things.
It's just plainly that.
At the end of the day, it comes down to math.
And math isn't racist, no matter what the left tries to tell you.
Oh, and they will try to tell you that.
But she points out also in this article that that is not the only sector of immigration that continues to grow.
It's persisting across most major categories.
Work permit holders, excluding asylum-linked permits, have increased by more than 600,000 in two years, reaching 1.45 million.
The number of combined work and study permit holders also surged, hitting 325,000 in Canada in the first quarter of this year.
Like these are crazy numbers.
And if you go on StatsCan, I don't have it pulled up in the middle.
Toronto's here, but you can.
Toronto's unemployment rate is approaching 10%.
This is outrageous.
Well, that's where most of them end up.
The majority of immigration that comes into Canada as a whole, over 50% of it, it lands in the GTA in the greater Toronto area.
And so that there is just not the infrastructure there to support that massive influx of immigration.
And, you know, we hear, oh, Canada is a vast land of vast resources and a sprawling land with little population per, you know, hectares.
And yet most of the immigration that comes into this country ends up in one small, tight little corridor of southeastern Ontario.
So this idea that Canada as an entire country can support mass immigration isn't coming to fruition because they're all funneling into one small sector of southeastern Ontario.
And it can is buckling under the pressure.
It is not sustainable by any sense of the word.
And the other province that receives a vast majority of the immigration levels that come into this country, it's supposed to be the country, it's Ontario, followed by Quebec.
It Can Be Done00:06:18
Right.
And Quebec has said- French speaking immigrants, yeah.
Yeah.
And Quebec has said, you know what, we're not doing it.
We're putting our own cap on immigration if the feds won't.
And so far, so good, I guess.
It can be done.
That's the message there.
It can be done if there's political will.
And if Quebec is allowed a culture, why aren't the rest of us?
Hey, before we hit an ad break, I want to tell everybody about two upcoming events.
The first one, and I think I'm biased, but I think I'm right to be biased.
It is our Rebel News birthday bash.
Can we put up the graphic, please?
Because it's a fun little graphic where everybody is wearing a party hat.
There's Ezra, look how excited Ezra is.
There's David.
There's me.
It's our Rebel News 10th birthday bash.
And our 10th birthday was actually back in February, but we didn't have it then because we were in like the throes of prorogation of parliament.
The Liberals were running a leadership race.
And then after that, we had to hit the ground running because it was election campaign.
So we thought the news of the day is more important than us celebrating ourselves with you.
And so we set it aside.
But the news never stops.
So we just had to stop and put a firm date on when we will celebrate our birthday with you.
And we want to celebrate it with you because there's no birthday without you, because there's no rebel news without any of you.
Because we'll never take a penny from Mark Carney to do the work that we do.
We only live on here 10 years later because you believed in us.
And so we are inviting you to our birthday.
It's September 18th at 6 p.m. in Calgary at the Carriage House Hotel and Conference Center.
We love those guys.
Live music, cocktails, snacks, and a meet and greet with Rebel News and some of the people from the Rebel News universe.
I don't want to announce any names yet.
And so we want you to come.
And so if you go to, I think it's Rebel News.
No, happybirthdayrebel.com, I believe.
You can get your tickets today, but don't sleep on this, as the kids say.
If you want a ticket, get a ticket now because they're going to sell out.
Why?
Because we're fun people to be around and we're going to have so much fun celebrating the work that we've done, the battles that we've fought, and all of you who have fought with us along the way.
So happybirthdayrebel.com.
All right.
So that's the first event, which I'm quite excited about.
I love a good party.
But the second event, I think, is an important discussion about what is going on within Confederation.
It asks the question, what is the West's place in Canada?
Don't miss this year's Canada Strong and Free Networking Conference in Calgary.
Now, it's on September 5th and 6th, so it's a two-day event.
And you'll hear from speakers such as author Tristan Hopper, Lord Conrad Black, the Premier in the middle of all of this, Danielle Smith, and Preston Manning.
Early bird rates are available until August 4th.
Again, these things usually sell out.
Reserve your tickets today at Canada StrongandFree.network.
Is that right?
Okay, Canada, yes, Canada StrongandFree.network.
And that's September 5th and 6th in Calgary.
A discussion about the fate and future, not just of the West, but of Confederation.
Okay, Brian Lilly will be there.
Preston Manning.
We've got Conrad Black.
This, okay, Marco Navarro Gini.
He's worth the price of admission.
Marco Navarro Gini, I'm just going to plug Marco for a second.
He is at the Halteen Institute.
He has done some pretty serious research about these people who say, oh, you can't go your own way.
You're landlocked.
He's done research into how other landlocked, oil-rich countries of the world have been able to get their products to market just fine and dandy.
He's also done serious research about other countries that have said, you know what, this isn't working.
And let's have an amicable divorce.
So if you want to hear some thought-provoking arguments from situations you've never even considered, Marco is the guy for this.
So if you need a reason to go to this event, just go to see Marco.
Michael Binion's great, Justin Hopper's great, but I don't think Marco gets the respect he deserves for the research that he's done.
So anyways, that's CanadaStrongandFree.network.
Let's hit a Rebel News outbreak and we'll come back on the other side to discuss more.
Do you agree with me?
It is time to make Canada great again.
And that is why we at Rebel News have teamed up with MCGA Hats to introduce, well, the fashion sensation of 2025.
Oh, and by the way, these beautiful hats, they are made in Canada.
We don't rely on cheap imports coming over from China.
So what are you waiting for, folks?
Show your pride.
This is the perfect thing for a patriot to wear, or maybe there's a patriot in your life that you would like to gift such a hat.
Please go to mcgahats.ca.
That's mcga hats.ca.
Don't be shy about it.
Wear this cap.
Let everybody know you want to make Canada great again.
Canadians know the national anthem.
They stand in silence to remember those who died for this country.
Alberta's Police Future00:06:19
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.
Okay, speaking of Western independence, Danielle Smith, our premier here in Alberta, is doing her very best to give us everything we want without having to leave the country, without the getting our hands dirty kind of stuff.
There are a lot of things that are possible.
Other provinces already do this, so I don't even understand why it's so controversial.
Like the OPP is a provincial police force in Ontario, and I think Alberta already has a pretty good relationship with the RCMP yet.
If Albertans decide to go their own way, we have to consider what we do about the police.
And this actually takes the sting out of it.
So Premier Smith announced yesterday the creation of the Alberta Sheriff's Police Service, which will not replace the RCMP yet or ever or if ever, depending on what Albertans want to do about their future.
But it will work alongside existing branches of law enforcement to protect Albertans as we deal with the rising crime and recidivism thanks to the Liberals' permissive catch and release policies with regard to crime that have, I pulled the numbers yesterday because my mother-in-law was fighting with somebody on what the data was.
And violent crime has spiked in this country since 2014 by well over 40%.
I think it's like 46%.
That's crazy.
That's that's, I mean, something's got to give and Alberta is doing something about it.
So let's hear from the premier.
We promise to improve policing in the province so that it works better on the streets and behind the scenes.
And we did that because Albertans deserve to feel safe no matter where they live and because Ottawa has indicated that it's rethinking the RCMP's responsibilities and may change them once the current police services agreements end in 2032.
So I'm pleased to say that we have taken some major steps to deliver on our promise.
We have formally created the Alberta Sheriff's Police Service to be headquartered right here in Calgary.
And to be clear about its intended purpose, the Alberta Sheriff's Police Service is not meant to replace the RCMP or any other police service.
It will work alongside existing branches of law enforcement to fill gaps and ensure that resources are used efficiently.
And just like most other police services in the province, it'll be run separately from the government with civilian oversight.
Today, roughly 80% of Albertans are already served by local non-RCMP municipal police services, such as in Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, as well as the recently established police service in Grand Prairie, along with others.
And I'm also happy to announce that we are appointing Satpal Singh Parhar as Chief of the Alberta Sheriff's Police Service.
Again, if you ask the left, this is controversial.
This is turning us into a police state, blah, But this is stuff that they do in other provinces.
Quebec has its own provincial police service.
Ontario does.
And we have been slowly expanding the duties of the sheriff's service, which we do.
We have had a sheriff's service, sort of quasi-provincial police force for a long time now.
They, you know, they work in the court system.
They work at the legislature.
They've been working on border security in southern Alberta.
They work on the highways.
This is just Act, expanding that to a more official role and appointing a police chief for them, and i'm here for it.
Why?
I mean?
Crime is up over 40, while the liberals have been char have been in charge.
Why wouldn't we want more cops on the road?
Uh, one of the few things I think government should do is uh, policing.
Like there's a lot of things the government does do that they shouldn't, including health care.
This is one of those things where they're supposed to keep you safe, or at least, you know, do their best to keep you safe.
I'm for this, but everyone's losing their marbles on the left.
Yeah, or at least enforce the laws that we are supposed to have in place, which we've seen just repeatedly disregarded unless your political views are contrary to that of the state.
And then the heavy hammer of law and order comes down onto you.
But yeah, I don't, with crime, chaos, disorder, disarray, all of these things just unleashed onto Canadian streets.
We're taking steps to rein in that disorder, then why not?
Yeah, well, and there's something else happening in the background too.
So Alberta has said that they will not advise the RCMP to enforce the gun confiscation program of the federal liberals.
Now, what if we end up in a standoff with the feds?
And somehow, even though the RCMP are on contract in Alberta, somehow the RCMP are forced to abide by the gun confiscation program.
Do we have the ability now to kick them out if the feds override the will of the province and put the RCMP in the middle?
This might be a backstop for that.
It's a consideration considering how the liberal government is going to go just speed into the gun confiscation.
I mean, we just running Natalie Provo as an MP was exactly an indicator of what they plan to do.
And they've allocated, I think, a third of a billion dollars to take guns where they don't even know where they are.
That's going to take a lot of policing.
So, well, anyways, we'll see.
Canadians Feel Unwelcome00:05:48
I think that could be a motivation here as well.
All right.
Let's go on.
Next is more of Danielle Smith aligning the province for independence.
And so each step that is taken just kind of furthers Alberta's ability to uphold its own sovereignty and push back against the nonsense policies of Ottawa.
So I think this is just another step in that direction.
Yeah, whether we leave or whether we stay, this makes us out of the clutches of the feds at the end of the day.
We're better off for this at the end of the day.
Let's get into the elbows up nonsense because what's a day in Canada without elbows up nonsense?
Goodness gracious.
So where do they find this one?
Yeah, I was one, as I was reading that, I wondered the exact same.
And, you know, just on the elbows up topic for a moment, I saw someone post the other day.
Carney's had his elbows up and down so many times that he's doing the chicken dance.
Yeah, that's a garage.
That's a garnogenous joke.
I thought that was such a good visual.
We need a meme of that just or like maybe a little graphic of Carney doing the chicken dance.
AI me that somebody.
Please send it our way with the little song.
Anyway.
All right.
So Canadians are now apparently, don't speak for me, but here we are.
Canadians feel unwelcome in the U.S. as mistrust remains high, finds a new poll.
Polster Jack Jedwab now sees Canadian anger and frustration being focused primarily on the American government and less so the American people.
Now that Canada's trade war with America has surged back into public consciousness, like a blast from the recent past.
Oh my gosh.
A new poll suggests Canadian frustration with and mistrust of the U.S. remains high despite a slight easing.
I mean, what kind of lead is this?
I can't.
Anyway.
So there was a dramatic realignment, apparently, of Canadian attitudes toward its southern neighbor.
And then here we go.
This is, I think, the lead that should have been there.
Europe and Britain were suddenly the countries Canadians felt best about and Canadians were starting to feel, were starting to feel about America the way they feel about Russia.
And this comes also as Carney tries to, well, Trump derangement syndrome is obviously infiltrating the pollsters, but this comes as Carney is trying to align Canada more with Europe and the European Union and break those ties that we've traditionally and historically held with the United States.
And now you have a pollster here in the background, basically just backing all of that up.
So I'm not surprised, but this certainly doesn't speak for a number of Canadians, including myself.
Again, I think that these are the mask wearers on the airplanes still.
You know what I mean?
Because they just believe everything the government and the CBC, and I shouldn't make a distinction there, tells them.
And again, talk about burying the lead.
Back in April, barely one in five or 21% said they trust Americans in a similar poll.
But the latest poll, that figure has rebounded to 34%, which is historically normal.
And about the same as it was near the end of Trump's first term, but still considerably lower than the 59% it reached in October 2023.
So that shows you that the liberals campaigned on fear.
It worked for them.
But the whole point of this is this is normal.
This is your typical uppity, snooty Canadian anti-Americanism at its stasis.
So why is this even an article?
Because as they said, this is where it's historically at.
Yeah.
And what am I leaving here then?
The bar that they're holding is that it's still considerably lower than the 59% it reached in October 2023.
I'm sorry, under Biden, we felt more welcome and less aggressive toward the United States because when Biden was the president, who like couldn't even prevent himself from falling off of his bike while riding it.
I mean, this, it's obviously a politically backed poll and is speaking to the differences.
Like when Canada has a liberal government and the U.S. has a liberal government, it's all good and friendly and we're fine.
And then as soon as the U.S. switches to a conservative government, all of a sudden there's like hostility and mistrust apparently remains high.
I don't know about you guys, but I trust Trump a heck of a lot more than I trust Biden.
Yeah, Trump just gave us a $7 billion tax cut because of the internet tax that got canceled because of him.
Maybe Canadians feel unwelcome in the United States because they have bought into the lies about how we need to fight the Americans and because they've allowed themselves to fall into the anti-Americanism trap.
Like after saying terrible things about Americans for the last six months, you're lucky if they let you into the country at all.
Global News's Vaccine Misinformation00:15:32
You know what I mean?
Like if I talked bad about a friend and neighbor and then I went over to their house to visit, yeah, there might be some awkwardness, but that's on me, not on them.
This is just the dumbest article ever because they're saying that the numbers are actually where they historically are.
Okay.
Thanks.
Great.
Good article, buddy.
Thanks for letting us know that we're right on par.
Yeah.
Anyways.
I think we should hit this one headliner.
I know we started a little bit late, but I want to get to this global news investigation that they've just released.
I think they ran this investigation for apparently six months and basically just thieves a bunch of my original reporting.
And I think also likely my access to information documents, because there's about a two-year lag there between when you file and receive back your access to information request.
And then by the time it's actually publicly available is about another two years.
Yes, proactively.
So they had to wait.
They couldn't trust that this reporting was accurate and based on exclusive government documents obtained by us here at Rebel News.
They had to wait until public disclosure happened roughly two years later and see it for themselves, I suppose.
But the title here comes from, as I mentioned, Global News, Nothing Was Ready Inside Canada's Vaccine Injury Support Program.
And it's a story done by two journalists, Andrew McIntosh and Carolyn Jarvis.
And so they start off, here's the lead.
A 50 million, which it's actually 75 million, by the way, a 50 million program the federal government created to help Canadians seriously injured by COVID-19 vaccines is in disarray, current and former staffers say.
The vaccine injury support program was created as the government was simultaneously rolling out these novel modified RNA COVID-19 injections.
And it was meant to compensate people who had been seriously and permanently injured by these Health Canada.
They actually use the right word here, Health Canada authorized, not approved, authorized vaccines administered, you know, on or after the December 8th rollout in 2020.
And so my original reporting on this topic, and I have a thread that I posted yesterday on X that goes through, and this just scratches the surface of the reporting that I have done on the vaccine injury support program,
including vaccine injured individuals who I started featuring the very first one, Kevin Street, June or July of 2021, who was injured following his AstraZeneca shot, which we all know now AstraZeneca has been since pulled from the market.
But anyway, I post this thread in here because Global News claims that their investigation revealed a scandal-clad vaccine injury support program.
But in fact, all of this is my original reporting.
And I pulled some quotes from Global Directly where they say Oxero, who was formerly Raymond, Shant, Grant, Thornton consultants, they actually received the vast majority of the budget allocation for this program to deliver and administer it.
So they got roughly 60% of the total budget, leaving Canadians suffering from the safe and effective narrative high and dry.
The rigmarole that has encompassed this program is absolutely scathing.
And so I point to some of the original reporting that I've done here, like where I broke the news that this consultancy firm funnels millions meant for those injured into the consultants' pockets.
And I did, I broke this in January of 2024.
So over a year and a half ago, I did this report.
I showed the government documents and I actually had to appeal to find the true numbers because they originally tried to redact it.
So I would have, I broke the original story.
I said something's fishy here.
I'm going to appeal all of these redactions and get to the bottom of how much is actually going where because this seems fishy.
And then I think it was like roughly six months later because, you know, they're supposed to get back to you within three months.
They never do.
It's the government after all.
So I actually would have had this story roughly six months sooner had they have not tried to redact and hide all of these numbers.
So there was a lot of investigating that went into this finding.
And here's Global News just trying to scoop it all as though they've been looking into this for the last six months.
I report on the fact that this case managers are a revolving door in March of 2024, also over a year ago.
I mean, and the list quite literally goes on and on.
But then I wanted to highlight how Global News has acted over the last few years.
And they have held true to the government state-funded, big pharma-backed narrative.
They held cover for all of that.
There was a big, massive investigation that Ashley Stewart from Global News did in January of 2022, where she revealed the headline reads, revealed how a web of Canadian doctors are undermining the fight against COVID-19.
And she ousts various doctors like Mark Trozzi, who we've featured extensively on the platform.
And I especially want to point out Dr. Patrick Phillips, because I first did a story with Dr. Patrick Phillips.
I'm just going to pull it up in May.
Let me just get the proper link here.
Dr. Patrick Phillips was one of the first doctors agreed to come on to me after come on with me after I started investigating the vaccine rollout, what was happening.
May 27th, 2021, Dr. Patrick Phillips, he was an emergency department doctor in Ontario, coming forward saying they're rejecting my COVID vaccine adverse reaction reports.
He had five of them rejected by his local medical officer of health because here in Canada, we have a multi-level filtering system to get your vaccine injury ever, even formally documented and recognized.
And so he was having all of his vaccine injury reports rejected by his local medical officer of health, which is that kind of second level of filtering that happens.
And instead of like investigating any of this dating back to 2021, they wrote a hit piece and smeared all of these principal doctors who were brave enough to come forward against the state-backed and mainstream media amplified narrative and smeared all of them.
I'm just going to interrupt you here.
It got worse than that because Dr. Patrick Phillips, I remember watching his NCI testimony about how he was trying to get these vaccine injuries recognized so that maybe they can put a stop to what was happening, the forced vaccination.
And his license was revoked due to misconduct.
Yes.
His misconduct advocacy for his patients.
And hindsight being 2020, he was right.
And yeah, CBC or Global News, they were part and parcel of amplifying the misinformation against Dr. Patrick Phillips.
Sorry, I'll be quiet.
You continue on.
And I would argue, well, I would argue that Global News actually played a part in that investigation against Dr. Patrick Phillips by his regulator, the CPSO, because in this hit piece that Ashley Stewart ran, again, in January of 2022, revealing how these COVID doctors or sorry, revealing how these Canadian doctors are allegedly undermining the fight against COVID and spreading vaccine disinformation is what they were calling it.
And still, I mean, arguably until last week were.
They reached out to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario to alert them to what these doctors were up to.
So not only did Global News run cover for the state-backed pharma-funded narrative all throughout the last five years, but they actually put a target on the brave doctors who are coming forward saying, this doesn't make sense.
This isn't upholding anyone's health.
The way that we're treating these patients and the way that we're just injecting everyone indiscriminately is not the way that you handle this kind of public health crisis, so to speak.
And they put a target on their backs.
And let's not also forget Rachel Gilmore, who worked for Global News at the time of the vaccine rollout.
Can we pull up that clip of Rachel Gilmore and what she was saying?
Did she employ?
Yeah, she had big funny things she says about your unvaccinated friends and relatives.
By the way, I just, if you follow me on X, it's easy to find me at Sheila Gunread.
I just reposted Dr. Patrick Phillips' NCI testimony from March, I believe, March 16th of 2023 in Truro, Nova Scotia.
Just so you can hear in his own words what he was trying to do and what now Global News claims they have discovered.
Anyways, you can see it there.
You don't have to show the whole thing.
But if you follow me, you can see a clip of his testimony and you can find his testimony in full in the description of the post there.
What happened to Patrick Phillips is absolutely disgusting.
And now we have this principled, well, well-educated science following physician who can no longer treat patients in Ontario, where we have a massive and chronic shortage of family doctors because of the kind of reporting that came from Global News.
So for anybody who's thanking Global News in the comments section on X, when they post this and they reveal how VISP is being poorly managed and misrun, let's not forget this was the kind of rhetoric coming from Global News during the vaccine rollout in October of 2021.
Listen to this from Rachel Gilmore.
I am sorry in advance.
Are you going to invite your unvaccinated relatives to sit at the dinner table with you this Thanksgiving?
Experts are saying you might not want to risk it.
Here's why.
According to one expert from McMaster University, vaccines are super effective, but they're most effective when you're surrounded by other vaccinated people.
If you invite someone who isn't vaccinated, there's a risk of having a breakthrough case.
Now, breakthrough cases are pretty rare.
There's only ever been about 8,000 in Ontario, but kids can't get vaccinated.
Super rare.
So part of keeping those kids as safe as possible is telling that one uncle who chooses not to get vaccinated that he might have to sit this one out.
One bioethicist said that that's actually the more ethical thing to do.
She also said you should try talking to your relatives about how safe vaccination is.
The best way to do that is to start the conversation from a place of respect and empathy.
Say things like, I understand you're feeling pressure.
I know you're freaked out.
But here's why this is important.
You can read more at globalnews.ca.
I'm stupider for having listened to that.
Yeah, that is everything she said there, by the way, complete misinformation that breakthrough cases didn't happen, that kids are at risk.
We know breakthrough cases happened.
In fact, most of the people on my Facebook page who are vehemently against increased like ongoing vaccinations are people who got two jobs and still got sick.
So the people who had the actual science.
The people who had to learn things the hard way.
But yeah, that's that's who Global News was and is.
And now they want to gaslight you into forgetting, being hard of remembering.
Don't thank them.
The reason things got this far along is because of the likes of Global News.
This is absolutely gaslighting.
Imagine they had reached out to Dr. Phillips and found other doctors who were experiencing the same because I know Dr. Phillips wasn't alone, but everyone was too scared and they saw what happened to him to come forward and share what was happening on the front lines in hospitals, in emergency departments, at clinics after the rollout of these injections.
If they had just said, whoa, this is a crazy allegation, let's investigate this in May of 2021, when they were rejecting his vaccine injury reports from his local medical officer of health.
Imagine where we would be now had the mainstream media have said, that is massive.
That is huge news for a novel product that's never before been unleashed on the mass population.
And instead, they amplify the absolute bimbo nonsense of somebody like Rachel Gilmore, who's like, vaccines, they're super effective.
Super effective.
Spare me.
I realize that I speak in the common parlance of the region in which I live.
I have some pretty strong Albertaisms.
I know that.
But I try not to sound like an absolute airhead.
And she does.
She sounds like an airhead and she thinks it's charming and not completely annoying.
She's a grown woman.
I probably had two kids when I was her age.
Could you imagine her even being in her ass alive?
Anyway.
I probably had three kids.
One more thing.
Same.
One more thing I just want to quickly point out about Global News's investigation is the part where they say, and I'm just going to read it verbatim and I think it's about a third of the way down the page.
The government reassured the public that they'd be safe, but it acknowledged that in rare cases, people could experience serious side effects.
And I just want, yeah.
And I just want to point people to the fact because this is completely overlooked and never reported on by anyone in the mainstream media, including the full news in this parent expose that I've only been featuring for the last two and a half years at least.
This comes from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
It's a subset of the Department of Health and Human Services of the FDA.
So this is like a very credible source.
Sole Source Contracts Controversy00:13:05
And I just want to show everyone the first line on this webpage.
It says, adverse events from vaccines are common, but underreported, with less than 1% reported to the Food and Drug Administration.
Multiplied those.
So when they tell you, yeah, exactly.
When they lay out all of these numbers that are officially documented by Health Canada, remember that there's at least one ER physician reporting that all five of his were rejected before they even got to Health Canada.
And remember that less than 1% are ever formally documented or reported.
So you can take all of those numbers and multiply them by whatever factor they should actually be, because this is not an accurate reflection of how many people are being plagued by vaccine injury.
Right.
That's it from me for today.
Oh, no, not yet.
We have one more thing we have to get to.
And it's, you wrote it up.
We talked about it in the morning meeting.
I love this story because on some level, I am glad Sheila Cops exists because she is the perfect abattoir, avatar of the horrors of the liberal establishment.
Sheila Copps, for those of you who are not as long in the tooth as me, she was the deputy prime minister for a time, but she is everybody's cantankerous liberal wine aunt.
Like she gets on the internet after a box of cardboard, if you know what I mean.
And then she starts telling everybody about politics.
And if we knew this about her during the pandemic, wouldn't we have considered, and I don't mean we, I mean the royal we, the establishment who treated Sheila Copps as some sort of credible expert on the comings and goings of the pandemic.
Well, maybe you should look at that through a different lens.
Now, Tamara wrote this up.
I think she's having problems with her camera.
Is that right?
So I'll get to it, I guess.
Pandemic profiteer strike again.
Sheila Copps' firm sues for share of $2 billion federal contract amid lobbying scandal.
You're not even going to believe the gall of this broad.
BTNX denies COPS firms role in securing the deal, alleging any lobbying efforts were conducted illegally.
It's just a delight.
Former Deputy Prime Minister Sheila Copps is back in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
Her firm, Medipro Canada, is suing for $100 million.
$100 million.
Is that how it goes?
In an attempt to reap a slice of the $2 billion federal contract she helped secure for rapid test supplier BTNX during the COVID chaos.
I think we have Tamira back.
Tamara, take us through this.
Out.
Oh, are we not?
I guess we're not getting Tamara's audio.
So yeah, that's okay.
She has been talking and explaining it, but I'll keep going through it.
So her firm Medipro is suing for $100 million.
But as Tamara writes, there's one small oopsie oversight.
Cops wasn't registered as a lobbyist.
And now the contractor says she broke the rules justifying their leaving her high and dry.
Sneaky or savvy?
As Tamara says, you decide.
Emails uncovered by the National Post show Cops working her liberal Rolodex, setting up cozy meetings with top dogs and then procurement minister Anita Anand's office to push masks and tests.
Sounds like lobbying to me.
One sketchy KN95 deal even got flagged by 3M as potential fraud, sparking a police probe.
Yet Copps insists, I'm just a salesman dodging the lobbying act because she wasn't paid up front.
But now she wants to be paid after the fact, as Tamara writes, convenient, right?
Do we have Tamir's audio now?
I am testing, testing.
Can you hear me on the stream side?
Okay, take it away.
Thanks, Sheila.
Yeah, so and the lobbying commissioner, of course, is staying quiet about all of this.
Meanwhile, the stench of unaccountability is pretty hard to ignore.
I point out that it's another black eye for Ottawa's pandemic procurement already marred by ArriveCan, least we forget, and we charity fiascos.
I also wanted to just draw everybody's attention back to then procurement minister, right?
Because all of this was done under procurement minister Anita Anand, whose husband, John Nolton, was linked to companies that also received hundreds of millions of dollars in federal COVID contracts, further disavowing transparency and accountability.
He was part of Life Labs and Terranet Inc.
Life Labs was given $66 million worth of contracts from the government.
And Dynacare, Switch Health, these ones were all also awarded contracts.
So something is awry at the procurement office.
And clearly, lobbyists aren't properly registering.
And they're being rewarded through contracts and otherwise for their efforts to effectively and successfully lobby the government to get their companies the deals ahead of anybody else's.
So I pose the question at the end.
Is this just another chapter in Canada's cronyism chronicles?
I would wager a bet to say yes, but ultimately always leave it up to the viewer to decide.
Yeah, I mean, there's another company involved in all of this who says, actually, we, and just so people know what we're talking about, they're those stupid little tests that you stuck a thing up your nose or in the back of your throat.
They're the home tests that you had to do before you did anything in the world if you were unvaccinated.
They're the ones that they gave free, but nothing's free if the government's paying for it.
They're those tests.
So just think about where those were.
Literally everywhere.
Remember, you could get them at the Tim Hortons.
What a strange time.
Like you could get them.
Like the Alberta government struck a deal with Tim Hortons that if you, you could go through the drive-through and they would give you a bunch of tests just to make sure that everybody had them.
Like I just look back and I'm like, man, we were mad, but someone was making money hand over fists.
And one of them was Sheila Copps, apparently, because she wants $100 million.
But there was another company in all of this who said, actually, we could have done this for cheaper.
In fact, we offered to do this for cheaper, but the government went with the company that Sheila Copps was lobbying for.
Surprise surprise, which was more money.
So it's just so unbelievably crooked.
And then just the gall to have not registered as a lobbyist and and now want to be paid as a lobbyist and this is ending up in court and I just can't.
I'm here for all the drama, i'm here for it.
Uh, couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.
I hope actually people go to jail for this, although this is Canada and you don't.
No, you get the Uh Orders Of Canada.
You get the order of pandemic profiteering.
But you know, even just remember Adamson Barbecue, right?
The Ontario barbecue restaurateur who just wanted to feed people brisket.
Well, the Costco across the street, they were open for business.
The Walmarts, the big box stores, they were all allowed to continue mostly unabated.
But the little guy, like the barbecue restaurateurs and the mom pop shops, they had to shutter for the better part of two years on a rolling basis and then reopen with all these stipulations where they had to invest in things like sanitizer, masks, plexiglass, which was a massive upfront cost, et cetera, et cetera.
And those guys are still suffering the devastation, the fallout of COVID policies who had, yeah, all the king's horses and all the king's men unleashed onto their small mom pop barbecue shop.
And yet people like Anita Anand, who oversaw the government's procurement.
Get some promotion.
And her husband pockets who knows how much for his affiliations with companies who received hundreds of millions of dollars in government COVID contracts.
I mean, these people aren't suffering, that's for sure.
But Adam Skelly from Adamson Barbecue, I mean, where is he these days?
Yeah, Chris Scott, same thing.
Chris Scott, though, has been the center of a political uprising and it doesn't seem to stop there.
But also, let us not forget like how many liberals, former and future, enriched themselves during COVID.
Frank Bayliss with Bayliss ventilators, an inflated ventilator contract.
I think it was like a quarter of a billion dollars.
They cost more than what they should have.
And then they ultimately ended up being either donated to war efforts in Ukraine or sold for scrap because we didn't need them.
But and I think people knew that we didn't need them at the beginning, but this was just a time for liberals to get rich with government contracts.
How are we forgetting Randy Possano?
He was the partner in a medical PPE import company getting contracts with Elections Canada to provide PPE for a snap election nobody wanted.
Sole source contracts at that.
Like all of them got rich during the pandemic while our companies went broke and our kids were damaged mentally and physically.
And educationally.
Also, that those contracts all were just swiftly removed from the procurement government procurement website.
So if you ever wanted to go back and do a line-by-line investigation into who got what and what went where, well, guess what?
It's all been wiped.
Great.
So much for transparency.
Yep.
We need a national inquiry, but we're never going to get it as long as the liberals are in charge.
Once again, thanks, Toronto.
Thank you.
I don't think we have a daily dose of cringe, but I think we just played it a little bit early.
It was Rachel Gilmore.
So sorry about that.
Just forget how awful she is to listen to.
I did have to listen to her committee testimony.
Oh, that was bad.
Horrendous.
On my deathbed, I will be thinking about the time I spent listening to that and thinking I could have done something better with my time, like smoking.
My God, I could have suffered a slow death, but instead I was stuck listening to the Valley girl for I don't even know how long she had up there on the little soapbox, 15 minutes.
Yeah, it was so bad.
I'm like, how does someone like this end up?
I mean, there's our government in action.
The worst part is I blame the conservatives because they never actually call anybody to counter that.
You know, like she was the journalist that the liberals or the NDP called to testify at committee on, you know, journalistic freedom or whatever, the one that's advocating the censorship of other journalists.
Who did you call conservatives to counter that?
There are plenty of conservative journalists out here actively fighting in court for the right to the free press.
What did you guys do?
You sat there and listened to Rachel Gilmore?
I feel like that's a missed opportunity.
Anyway, 100%.
All right.
Well, that's a wrap from us today.
Thanks, everybody, for listening and joining in on the stream.
Sheila and a rotating host will be back same time and place tomorrow, 1 to 2 p.m. Eastern.
So be sure to join us again.
And until then, keep your thinking hats on because if the mainstream media has anything to do with it, you are going to need to think critically.
