REBEL ROUNDUP | Canada to recognize Palestine, US trade deadline looms, Charter-protected bike lanes

Sheila Gunnery and Tamara Yugolini critique Canada’s planned September 2025 UN recognition of Palestine, tied to Hamas hostage releases, Palestinian elections excluding Hamas in 2026, and demilitarization—conditions they dismiss as naive. Mark Carney’s unilateral decision, despite his past ethics controversies (e.g., shielding U.S.-based firms while relocating Brookfield), mirrors Trudeau’s legacy of anti-American policies, rewarding terrorism after October 7th’s 1,200 deaths and 250 kidnappings. Meanwhile, the Ontario Court upholds charter-protected bike lanes, ignoring sparse usage and traffic realities, while selectively enforcing freedoms—condemning Christian events like Sean Feucht’s canceled service but allowing pro-Hamas protests. Their analysis reveals a government prioritizing ideological agendas over democratic consistency, risking both trade relations and domestic liberties. [Automatically generated summary]

Hot Sticky Days End 00:07:34
Well, hey, good morning, good afternoon, everybody.
Depending on which part of this beautiful country that you're in, you're watching Rebel Roundup, our daily news and opinion show.
I'm your mostly regular host, Sheila Gunnery, and I'm joined today by my friend and colleague in Coburg, Ontario, Tamara Yugolini.
Tamara, how's it going?
Well, over here on this side of Canada, we're having some cooler temperatures.
So it's much better now.
The last few days and week has been pretty hot and sticky.
So it's nice that the global warming has laid off, at least for today.
How are you doing over there, Sheila?
We're great, actually.
The opposite is happening to us.
We're finally getting some nicer, warmer weather, which is, it's been long delayed.
It's finally, I think, here.
I think it's supposed to be 28 today and like that empty prairie sky.
So I'm fluctuating between complaining about the heat and wanting to enjoy like the little bit of it that we get as Albertans every single year.
I'll be running in and out between my bunker under the stairs and my garden, I think, most of the day.
We've got a very busy day.
Tamara, I will let you tell people how they can get involved and then we'll get into the news of the day.
Because if you thought that your days of being embarrassed by our liberal government were over after Justin Trudeau thankfully resigned, well, you would be mistaken because our days of international embarrassment are back upon us.
We had a little bit of reprieve, but it's back and it's going to be a problem.
Anyway, so Tamara, tell everybody what we're doing around here and then we'll briefly tell everybody about how they can help celebrate our birthday with us and then we'll get smack dab into the news of the day.
Yeah, the polite of Canada's political dumpster fire just continues.
I don't know.
You say we have reprieve, but I would beg to differ.
Maybe just during the, what was it, six weeks of campaign snap election rhetoric, perhaps some people saw some hope at the or the light at the end of the tunnel.
And I don't know now that we've taken 2.0.
I just mean it wasn't it wasn't constant.
You know, like when Justin Trudeau travels and you're like, okay, well, how are we going to be embarrassed today?
It wasn't that constant.
You just knew he was going to say something stupid, like Carney was going to say something stupid or awkward, but it wasn't like Justin Trudeau, you know, with his pride socks all over the international stage.
It wasn't like that.
But anyways, finding new and creative ways to embarrass us and make us look like crazy people all the time.
It never ends.
Yes.
Trudeau 2.0.
And for anybody who is joining us, thank you.
And you can find us streaming right now live until 2 p.m. Eastern on Rumble and or YouTube, depending on which platform you prefer to watch us on.
YouTube, coincidentally and unfortunately, does make it a little bit easier for you to support us.
So if you want to engage directly with us during the stream, give us a tip, a trick, or just have a comment read to a wider audience while supporting our journalism and our daily stream.
You can do so by giving us a Rumble rant over on Rumble or on YouTube, a super chat or post live stream called a super thanks.
And through a $5 donation or more, if you feel so inclined, we will read your comment live here on air and provide some commentary or feedback or just get things across to, as I said, a wider audience.
And, you know, every time, not every time, but a lot of the time, we find that the viewers write in various things and it's sometimes things we didn't even know about.
So it's a great way to bring things onto our radar.
And we will be talking today about Canada to recognize Palestine as a state.
U.S. trade deadline looming tomorrow, August 1st.
And well, here in Canada, we have our judicial system upholding charter-protected bike lanes.
But how dare you protest your own government?
So we'll get into some of that.
And before we do so, Sheila was going to tell you about the Rebel News birthday party coming up in Calgary.
Yes, Calgary is September 18th.
I finally have the date remembered.
September 18th, it's at the Carriage House Hotel and Conference Center.
You can find out more at happybirthdayrebel.com.
Now, it isn't exactly our 10th birthday.
It's actually probably our 10th and a half birthday because we had our birthday back in February.
But there was a lot of things happening in the world, a lot of things happening in Canada.
Justin Trudeau is stepping down.
We're in the middle of a terrif mania with the Americans.
And then all of a sudden, we've got Mark Carney and then straight into election mode.
So there wasn't time there.
We didn't want to stop and celebrate ourselves, but also celebrate you for helping us live for a decade.
So we put it off, we put it off.
But you know what?
If we keep putting it off, we're going to find news that is always more important than celebrating our birthday.
So we just decided, pull the shoot, we'll celebrate it now.
We want to invite you because without you, there's no rebel news.
We've accomplished many, many things in these last 10 years.
We fought for a lot of fundamental rights in this country for a lot of different people.
And we didn't have a political litmus test for people before we helped them because your human rights are not contingent on our feelings about your political views.
Isn't that a crazy concept?
So because of you, we were able to tell the other side of the story, tell stories that the mainstream media wouldn't even touch.
Like think about the things that we have talked about and moved the needle on on women's rights as they collide with transgender issues, parents' rights as they collide with sex activism in the classroom, the rights of religious people to be religious in the public square, the rights of churches and people to gather political free speech, the rights of independent journalists.
We've done all of that, but none of it would have been possible without your support and your faith in us.
And so that's why we are inviting you to our birthday party.
Because I mean, really, this is about you guys.
We've been doing this work for 10 years, but really, we should be thanking you for helping us do this work.
So how could we have a birthday party without you?
So if you go to happybirthdayrebel.com, you can get your tickets.
There are two tiers of tickets.
There's a VIP dinner, and then there's the party.
So live music, cocktail snacks, meet and greet, photos with journalists.
Lisa and I have already decided that we are going to overdress.
I am leaning into like dynasty era glam big hair, puffy shoulders, puffy sleeves, maybe sequins, an upgrade from the lumber gel look that I normally have.
And Tamara Leach is also going to be there as one of the musical guests or the musical guests.
And Tamara Ugolini, David Menzies, Alexa Lavois, Drea Humphrey, and of course, Ezra.
Look how happy he looks in this graphic.
I love how basic this graphic is.
And it's so funny.
Yes, I love it.
I love it so much for that and just how excited everyone looks with just their birthday hats just placed right over top.
Ezra looks like a mental patient.
We should get an updated photo though with everyone together with some birthday hats on for the next time.
Trade Wars and Tariffs 00:14:47
For sure.
We should get it done there.
Like when all of us are there and we're all together looking actually more like ourselves, because I can never get over how much that photo of me doesn't look like me.
I just don't translate well onto camera.
But anyway, if you want to see Ezra that happy in person, might I suggest you join us at our birthday party, September 18th.
All right, that's it.
Let's get into the news of the day.
My goodness.
In a shocking surprise to nobody with a brain, Mark Carney now says that the trade talks with the U.S. might not end by the August 1st deadline.
Which he said himself.
He said it.
But I could have told you that when at the G7, the UK shows up to sign the trade deal.
They've already negotiated and approved with the Americans.
And then Mark Carney and Trump come out and say, we're going to agree to keep talking.
So you're going to agree to nothing.
Like we're right next door to each other.
You think we could figure this stuff out?
No, they're too busy picking fights with the Americans then to actually sit down and work this out.
Like it's just, it still boggles my mind how quickly our relationship devolved with our greatest ally and trading partner and not just our greatest ally and trading partner, but the greatest trading and cultural military relationship on the face of the earth in the history of human civilization fell apart in 10 years with the liberals in charge.
And nobody actually seems all that interested in repairing it.
It boggles the mind.
Yeah, these trade talks, well, you have Carney saying that they have been complex, comprehensive, and constructive, but not constructive enough to actually have reached any sort of tangible deal by this deadline that he himself set.
And this is according to CTV News.
He also said that the talks are ongoing and cover a broad variety of topics.
I mean, how long have you guys been at this?
This is seven, several months into these apparent talks and conversations that are so robust and comprehensive that you can't actually finalize any sort of deal as various other countries have, except for Canada.
And then, so, you know, the Canadian economy will be slammed by tariffs on steel, aluminum, and automobiles.
And Trump is only signaling that tariffs will continue to increase.
Well, Trump's, or sorry, Carney's got his dream team on this, the politically contaminated Anita Anand, who screwed up procurement.
Then we've got Honorable Dominic LeBlanc.
He's the minister responsible for Canada-U.S. trade and one Canadian economy.
So Justin Trudeau's former babysitter, I think both politically, but also in real life, like action sitters at some point.
And then Meninder Sidhu, who's the Minister of International Trade.
So we have three ministers on this file, and they can't seem to figure anything out.
And the only solution is to prop up the steel industry.
That's all they're going to do.
It doesn't make any sense.
We've got a clip from Mark Carney on this and basically saying, like, what do you want me to do?
I guess we'll wait and see.
Elbows up.
Question is, well, I'll simplify.
It's always good.
To say that, look, these are complex.
They're comprehensive.
They're constructive.
Negotiations with the Americans are ongoing.
It's possible that they may not conclude by the 1st of August.
Yeah, we know.
Tomorrow.
But we'll see.
The team's there.
We're working hard.
Conversations today myself.
So we'll see.
There are, and the specific aspect of the question included a reference to the European Union deal.
And could it include, could our accord with the United States include commitments on investments and other aspects?
And I just observed that there are many areas for cooperation between Canada and the United States, including defense spending, security spending, investments, which is one of the reasons why we're having these broader discussions.
What did he say?
Nothing?
We're talking, we're having these discussions.
Yeah, it's always about having conversations.
That's what the liberals seem to be really good at.
We're going to keep talking about it.
We're going to have conversations.
Remember, we hired that Border Czar, whatever his name was, because I haven't heard from him since, but he was said to be going on to have all these robust discussions and conversations to secure the border.
Yeah.
How did those end up?
How are those going?
I think they're all on summer break, it would seem to me.
And the thing that really maddens me the most about all of this is that Carney's obviously going to be just fine.
His 16 pages of ethics disclosure show that he has roughly 98% of his supposed blind trust, which, well, I would say that's not blind if you know what holdings you have.
Yeah, just more smoke and mirrors for the brainless.
But 98% of those companies that he has in this supposed blind trust are U.S.-based companies that are going to be just fine throughout all of this.
And don't forget that he moved Brookfield Asset Management out of Canada ahead of all of this economic turmoil.
Back in November, just before he was slated to run as the Trudeau replacement, he was busy doing those deals, getting his companies out of Canada because he could see the writing on the wall.
And then all of a sudden, it's like, oh, well, Trump's hitting us with all of these tariffs and starting this trade war.
And it's like, yeah, but you knew because you got your companies out of here far in advance of this dumpster fire.
And now here we are, Carney's playing with the lives and the future of Canadians.
And he and his elk will be just fine through it all.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a big club and we aren't in it.
We've also got Trudeau leaving us, or Trudeau, we've got the rest of the world just leaving us in the dust.
So we've got Donald Trump saying on Truth Social, I've concluded a telephone conversation.
And this seems to be one of those conversations that actually moves the needle, not like the Canadian-style conversations.
Trump says, I've just concluded a telephone conversation with the president of Mexico, Claudia Scheinbaum, which was very successful in that more and more we are getting to know and understand each other.
The complexities of a deal with Mexico are somewhat different than other nations because of the problems and assets of the border.
And then he goes on to say, we have agreed to extend for a 90-day period the exact same deal as we had for the last short period of time, namely that Mexico will continue to pay a 25% fentanyl tariff, a 25% tariff on cars, and 50% tariff on steel, aluminum, and copper.
Additionally, Mexico has agreed to immediately terminate its non-tariff trade barriers, of which there were many.
We'll be talking to Mexico over the next 90 days with the goal of signing a trade deal somewhere within the 90-day period of time or longer.
Present at the meeting where Vice President JD Vance, and then he goes on to list them all.
So, anyways, Mexico is having, it sounds like, productive talks with the United States.
And what do we get here in Canada?
Who knows?
The promise of maybe more talks.
Yeah, yeah, maybe more talks.
And we may not have a deal by 12 a.m. midnight tonight, I guess.
I would say it's pretty, I think it's safe to say that we just won't have a deal.
And the dumpster fire continues to unleash itself in Canada.
We have finally some co-splang as conservatism from Doug Ford.
This clip just came out about an hour ago with Ford giving advice to Mark Carney to, I guess, go hard against America because you campaigned on elbows being up, right?
So you're supposed to be already going hard against America.
And then that was a very short-lived promise.
But here, listen to Ontario Premier Doug Ford, what he has to say, which, well, I guess we'll come back and find out if it's actually worth it.
I've got things to say about his comments.
Do you know what's a problem with President Trump?
And, you know, we're united.
First of all, I've never seen this country more united ever in all my years of being in politics.
And it's a great feeling, all provinces, territories, municipalities, and the federal government.
But, you know, Prime Minister Carney is trying his best, but this guy will say something one day and he'll wake up and the cheese slips off the cracker and then all of a sudden he goes the other way.
And you're thinking, how do you deal with a guy like this?
Like Ford?
Are we hoping that we can get a deal with zero tariffs?
Yes.
But I always say, how we can kick back, and it's not the American people, kick back at President Trump.
Let's start onshoring everything, absolutely everything we possibly can.
Like I-beams, those big steel I-beams.
I didn't realize we don't make them here until found out during the trade deal.
Or the rails.
Our beautiful cars are going to be made.
Sorry, the streetcars are going to be made down the street.
We don't make the rails, so we need to start making rails and start making sure that we make those steel I-beams and aluminum cans.
Aluminum cans are my favorite.
The Coke, the Pepsis, all the other beverages, the molsons, all that, the craft brewers.
We have, we're the kings of aluminum in Quebec.
They ship the aluminum down, 25% tariff.
They get printed and formed, 25% back tariffs.
So my question was: why aren't we making aluminum cans here?
Now, we're going to be making aluminum cans.
They're going to lose a billion dollars with a business in the U.S.
And same with tin, tin cans from DeFasco.
Ship it down in the U.S.
They get formed.
I had a meeting with the big users of the tins.
Now we're bringing a line up here.
And they're going to be losing out on about 1.3 billion cans just on the tin cans.
But I want to, we can build anything here.
We're an economic powerhouse.
You know, folks, we don't have to take a back seat to anyone in the world.
And we sure the heck don't have to take a back seat to President Trump.
He needs to remember, we're his, yes, they're our number one customer, but we're their number one customer.
You hear about all these deals he's making, he's making, and they're good, good countries, Japan and Korea.
But I'll give you an example with Japan.
He said he made this beautiful deal and everything, and God bless him.
But they buy $79 billion worth of products off of the U.S. Canada buys $359 billion U.S. off the folks south of the border.
Nine million Americans wake up every single morning to produce a widget or a good just for Ontario alone.
Those nine million jobs are in jeopardy right now.
We buy more products off the U.S. than Japan, Korea, China, the UK, and France combined.
So I wouldn't roll over.
And I've told the prime minister, do not roll over.
Hit that guy back as hard as we possibly can.
And that's what we need to do.
And we can do it.
We can build anything here.
That's enough.
Yeah, I think we need to cut.
He did roll over.
Do we all forget two weeks ago when Carney rescinded immediately the digital sales tax after Trump threatened to halt tariffs completely?
Unless he did.
And I'm glad he did, actually, because that would have made all of our streaming platforms more expensive.
But yeah, like Doug Ford saying, like, who knows what the guy's up to today?
Like, first of all, don't insult President Trump.
He's a very proud man and he pays attention to what people say about him.
Don't say his cheese slid off the cracker, especially Doug Ford saying that when he's like, Yeah, we should cut off oil to the United States.
Oh, wait, don't do that.
We should, because that would cut off our oil.
We should cut off energy, like as an electricity to upstate New York.
Oh, wait, actually, we're not going to do that.
Like, he's the guy who flip-flops.
And then to say we can build anything in Canada, that's the problem.
We can't because people like Mark Carney are running the country.
You know, if Mark, if Ford wants to say something about us sending stuff to the United States to be completed and then coming back into Canada, let's talk about oil because the oil that Ontario and Quebec rely on is Alberta oil, but it gets sent to the United States and then it comes back up through line nine and five.
That's a problem.
If you want to end your reliance on an integrated trade system with the United States, which I don't want to end that reliance, I think we should figure out how to work together.
But where's our West East pipeline?
Why don't we start repealing some of the onerous pieces of legislation that have scared away any sort of private sector investment in building pipelines in this country?
That's the problem.
I don't want the government to do it.
I want the government to get out of the way.
But for them, for Doug Ford to say, we can build anything in this country.
Actually, we can't.
That's the whole problem.
And also, we are not more united than ever.
One, and once the first province goes, the second province will go.
There are two provinces that are like, we got to get out of here.
Like it's the least united this country has ever been.
Why The Government Should Get Out Of The Way 00:05:13
He's living in a dream world.
Yeah, absolutely.
And just to even claim that we're united when there is a mass exodus of Ontarians out of Ontario fleeing to other places like Alberta or like to the United States because they can no longer handle living under this absolute disastrous government.
I would say Canadians are not united in any sense of the word.
And they are fleeing his province, Doug Ford's province, and this country at rates we have never seen before.
You can look at StatsCan.
You can see it for yourself.
People want are getting out of Dodge because it is quite literally, I've said it so many times, a dumpster fire right now.
And you have people like that, Premier of Ontario, going up in front of the people and talking absolute gibberish.
It is so alarming that they haven't, by this point, at the very latest and least, switched gears because that is what we need.
As more trade deals get finalized with other countries in the U.S., those ties strengthen and Canada will have nothing left to leverage because all of the deals will already have been done.
And as Trump just says, you know what, forget Canada.
They can't get their act together.
They're not coming to the table.
And what is he, what makes it worth his while to want to get a trade deal in place when he's out there making deals with all these other countries and Canada's just left, like twiddling their thumbs, hoping that Big Brother comes back around.
Mark Carney is weak.
His elbows are tucked and his tail is neat between his legs.
He's not getting us any sort of winning trade deal here.
And again, it doesn't matter for Mark Carney.
He'll be all right.
It's us, the little guys and the plebs who are going to suffer through the fallout of all of this.
Right.
Right.
And this anti-American nonsense was simply a strategy to get elected.
And he doesn't care what it does to our economy because, as you say, he'll be fine.
And you're right to point out that we are or will be left in the dust, but we are left in the dust.
So this is a tweet from the boss here.
Justin Trudeau said there was no business case for Canadian liquefied natural gas.
South Korea just agreed to buy, what is that, $100 billion in liquefied natural gas from the United States?
This is from Trump.
I'm pleased to announce that the United States of America has agreed to a full and complete trade deal with the Republic of Korea.
The deals that South Korea will give to the United States, $350 billion for investments owned and controlled by the United States and selected by myself, the president.
Additionally, South Korea will purchase $100 billion of liquefied natural gas or other energy products.
And further, South Korea has agreed to invest a large sum of money for their investment purposes.
So this is what our liberal government advised by Mark Carney.
Like you think Justin Trudeau was saying there's no business case just because he felt there was no business case.
He hired Mark Carney to be his economic advisor and Mark Carney said there was no business case.
And in the meantime, this $100 billion, where do you think that's going to be lost from in Canada?
This is why the West wants out.
Northern British Columbia, Alberta, and to some extent, Saskatchewan.
That's where this liquefied natural gas is being now, what's a stranded asset, as they call it in the industry.
Why?
Because now our customer, our potential customer, South Korea, did a deal with our competitor, the United States.
This should have been ours.
Instead, $100 billion of investment has been robbed from Western Canada because the liberals sat on their hands because they're anti-West.
And I mean, fueling their anti-Western sentiment is their anti-oil and gas problem.
And we're poorer for it because a West that does well is a Canada that does well.
These are jobs.
These are, I mean, this is somebody's first home.
These are new pickup trucks.
This is hockey for kids.
It's gone out of these families pockets because our jobs have gone to the United States, thanks to Mark Carney.
Who was supposed to be this like economic savior and saving grace?
And all the liberals that I interviewed ahead of the election and, well, you know, the little candidates were here in rural Ontario campaigning.
I was saying, you know, to people, well, Mark Carney's been whispering in the ear of Justin Trudeau for the last several years.
What makes you think that he will be any better now?
And they say, oh, he's an economic guru and he'll get us out of things.
Defamation Training Workshop 00:07:31
And don't worry, you'll see.
And well, here we are living in the disaster that is Justin Trudeau 2.0.
So elbows up, Canada, because you were hudwanked.
Thank you, liberal voters.
And on that note, let's maybe hit a quick ad break and we'll come back to more Carney nonsense.
Our national embarrassment continues.
Do we not give Olivia enough time to queue up the ad break?
Here we go.
That's okay.
Are you or do you know a young freedom-loving truth seeker who's sick of legacy media spin and woke newsroom groupthink?
I'm Sheila Gunread.
I'm the editor-in-chief at Rebel News, and I'm the president of the Independent Press Gallery of Canada.
And I wanted to personally invite you or the young person you know to the Democracy Fund's 2025 Student Journalism Conference and Job Fair happening in Toronto from October 3rd to 5th.
This year's theme is the free market, not just in economics, but in speech, in ideas, and in media.
If that inspires you instead of intimidating you, then this is your moment.
Over three packed days, successful applicants will get hands-on training in modern journalism with a focus on digital platforms, storytelling, and civil liberties reporting.
You'll attend interactive sessions, complete with real-time group assignments graded by senior journalists, and compete for a grand prize.
It's all expenses paid, flights, accommodations, and meals fully covered.
This is a professional grade experience for aspiring journalists with guts and grit.
We're looking for Canadians or permanent residents or work permit holders aged 18 to 30 who demonstrate ambition, integrity, and a commitment to free speech and truth telling.
You don't need a journalism degree, just the courage to challenge the narrative and the work ethic to back it up.
Speakers include Ezra Levant, David Menzies, Tamari Ugolini, and yes, I'll be there too.
Past grads have gone on to work in independent media, including right here at Revel News.
And for those of you who believe in building an independent media ecosystem, you can help too.
If you're a business or individual who wants to sponsor this conference, email us at events at thedemocracyfund.ca.
Applications close very soon, August 3rd.
Visit thedemocracyfund.ca to apply or support the next generation of fearless Canadian journalists.
Let's train reporters who tell the truth no matter who it offends.
Alberta powers Canada, but Ottawa keeps limiting our potential.
The Alberta Next panel wants your ideas to strengthen our sovereignty within a united Canada.
Help decide what's next for Alberta.
visit alberta.ca slash next.
All righty.
Um, also.
Also, just again, from the desk of the president of the Independent Press Gallery, if we have independent journalists watching the show right now, or if you know one, can you please tell them or please head on over to the Independent Press Gallery right now and become a member.
It's 10 bucks a year.
It provides camaraderie, support, training.
I will denounce your treatment.
We'll help get you access to stuff.
And we'll make sure that you know that you're not alone out there in the world.
So we also have, as a membership benefit right now, we have an upcoming defamation training with a media lawyer.
I think it is coming up, I want to say August 8th.
But anyways, you can find out more details at the Independent Press Gallery.
I think it's Independent, what is the URL there?
IndependentPressGallery.ca.
And it's not just for like on-camera journalists like us, but if you are a videographer, a blogger, journalist, if you publish anything, you need to know defamation law in Canada.
So your $10 yearly membership will get you access to that online training seminar.
And all you have to do to join the Independent Press Gallery is to, well, basically commit to never taking money from the government to do the work that you do.
You can see our mission statement there.
But there's strength in numbers, friends.
The Parliamentary Press Gallery has their little cabal that never advocates for the real rights of journalists.
In fact, they do their best to keep independent journalists out of press availabilities and definitely keep us off the parliamentary precinct where the politicians are.
They do everything they can to protect their exclusive access.
We are doing everything we can to protect the rights of independent journalists.
So please become a member of the Independent Press Gallery today.
That's it.
Thank you.
And ahead of that defamation training, I think it's next Thursday, a week today, so the 7th, but for $10 for the whole year and you get defamation training right off the off.
I mean, that right there makes the whole year worthwhile because to be trained by a lawyer in defamation and get, I think it's going to run what about at least an hour.
At least an hour.
Yeah, it's at least an hour.
You're going to get a half an hour briefing on what you need to know to make your work defamation proof, to protect yourself from defamation litigation in Canada.
And then you'll have an opportunity to ask the lawyer questions.
So it's an incredible opportunity for people like Chris Stacey, if you're listening.
I'm not saying you're defaming people, but I think you're just a lone wolf out there in the world.
I think you should join us just to make sure that you are protected from the people who try to silence you through litigation.
So, and yeah, 10 bucks a year.
And you're getting access to that right away.
I'm doing everything I can to add membership benefits along the way.
And the people that you're criticizing quite literally will prey on you defaming them, because then they can just disappear.
You, through financial means, through that litigation that an independent would stand no chance against a politician coming at them for defamation.
So it's defamation training.
And it's even worse than that because a lot of these people that you are taking a run-up on, they are taxpayer funded activists.
So if you're taking a run-up against, let's say, one of uh, Faye Johnstone's rackets, those are funded by the federal government to engage in litigation against you, so you need to know your rights and uh, your obligations under the law.
Because uh, they've got deep pockets and they're counting on the fact that you don't.
So anyways, join the independent press gallery, join us there, you go all right.
Recognizing Palestine Unilaterally? 00:14:55
In other news, in other news uh, Anyways, as I said, our national embarrassment continues.
Yesterday, Mark Carney announced that Canada will recognize a Palestinian state in September.
I think the only thing worse than doing this would have been to do it on October 7th on the anniversary of the Hamas terror attacks that left 1,200 dead and roughly 250 people kidnapped and several Canadians dead.
But here's Mark Carney rewarding terrorism.
For the reasons I cited earlier, Canada intends to recognize the state of Palestine at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025.
This intention is predicated on the Palestinian Authorities' commitment to much needed reforms, including commitments by the Palestinian Authorities, President Abbas, to fundamentally reform its governance, to hold general elections in 2026, in which Hamas can play no part, and to demilitarize the Palestinian state.
Canada will increase its efforts in supporting strong democratic governance in Palestine and the contributions of its people to a more peaceful and hopeful future.
I spoke today with President Abbas at length to reaffirm his commitment.
Canada reiterates that Hamas must immediately release all hostages taken in their horrific terrorist attack of October 7th, that Hamas must disarm, and that Hamas must play no role in the future governance of Palestine.
Canada will always steadfastly support Israel's existence as an independent state in the Middle East, living in peace and security.
Any path to lasting peace for Israel also requires a viable and stable Palestinian state and one that recognizes Israel's inalienable right to security and peace.
This is just a despicable moment in Canadian history.
How far we've strayed from Stephen Harper, the first Canadian prime minister to speak at the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, to this rewarding terror.
This would be like Canada officially recognizing al-Qaeda as a legitimate government of Afghanistan after 9-11.
Like it's just the craziest thing.
This is a continuation, though, of this weird Laurentian anti-American nonsense.
There's a reason that Canadians can travel to Cuba and Americans can't.
And that's because we did not stand with our American allies in their embargo against Cuba.
So every year, Canadian tourists go and prop up a communist regime that exploits its people and suppresses them while the Americans refuse to participate in enabling any of that.
It's just, this is a disgrace.
And the Israeli government is not happy with us at all.
Well, and good luck, Mark Carney, now trying to get a trade deal with Trump.
Trump has said this is not good for a trade deal with us.
I saw a Truth Social post about this.
And how do you think the Abraham Accords were done?
How do you think all those Gulf states were able to make peace with Israel?
And it came from a message from Donald Trump to the Gulf states.
He said, the path to Washington goes through Jerusalem.
So figure it out with Israel.
And then guess what?
You've got our ear.
And that was how peace broke out in the region.
And then now we've got this, a major terror attack, and Canada is rewarding the kidnapping and murder of civilians, many of them peace activists, with a two-state solution.
There was a two-state solution, Jordan and Israel.
But I mean, here we are.
I can't even believe this.
And this is Israel and Canada.
So that's the Israeli embassy in Canada.
issued a condemnation of this.
Said, Israel rejects Canada's endorsement of Palestinian statehood.
Let us be clear, Israel will not bow to the distorted campaign of international pressure against it.
We will not sacrifice our very existence by permitting the imposition of a jihadist state on our ancestral homeland that seeks our annihilation, said the ambassador.
Recognizing a Palestinian state in the absence of unaccountable government, functioning institutions and benevolent leadership rewards and legitimizes the monstrous barbarity of Hamas on October 7th, 2023.
It punishes Israeli and Palestinian victims of Hamas, vindicates Hamas, Western sympathizers, fueling anti-Semitism, and hardens Hamas's position at the negotiation table at the most critical time.
As Mark Carney stated, a Palestinian state must live side by side in security with Israel and recognize the right of Israel to exist.
President Abbas's latest vision for the future sharply contracts with the Palestinian Authority's long-standing record.
Thus, it is hard to see his newfound commitments as more than thinly veiled strategy to maintain the status quo with the sympathy and support of the international community.
Canada and its allies should not be under any illusion otherwise.
Yeah, and let's look at the numbers.
So they want Abbas to step down and then Hamas to not run in the next election.
75% of people in Gaza support Hamas.
So whether the next political terrorist entity that takes charge of that place is called Hamas, the ideology will still be exactly the same.
And if we recognize Iran as the world's largest state sponsor of terror, Canada, if it had a brain in its head, it wouldn't be doing this.
But by that theory, would have to immediately recognize whatever new Palestinian state as another state sponsor of terror.
This is the most bizarre, ridiculous, disgusting thing this government could possibly have done.
Hamas killed Canadians that day too.
Imagine what their families feel like right now.
The thing for me that I keep going back to is where does Mark Carney get off just kind of unilaterally making this assertion and decision though?
He's not done this with the approval of our democracy of parliament.
And so when the House isn't sitting and you have your supposedly elected prime minister up there making decisions on his own, that to me screams more like a dictator than actually a democratically elected and functioning leader.
I just want to throw back to the article from Blacklocks here that came out this morning, where they note that MPs voted against this proposal just last year.
So this, it was originally put forward by the NDP.
They put forward a motion in the House, of course, to officially recognize the state of Palestine.
And it was voted down.
204 to 118 rejected that motion.
And Liberal MP Anthony Housefather said This would bring pain to one of two communities in Canada because one strongly wants it to pass and one strongly wants it to fail.
And then he said, he goes on to say that this is rewarding terrorism.
Foreign policy written this way is not a good thing when we would be saying we are suddenly going to recognize the state of Palestine unilaterally, which I might add is what Carney is just doing now on his own.
When for 50 years under successive liberal and conservative governments, we have said the parties need to negotiate.
So this was just May of last year.
What happened?
Well, now we have Mark Carney acting like a dictator.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And he's being lit up, like lit up.
Vivian Bersovichi, I think is how I say her name.
She was the ambassador to Israel under Harper.
I think she called this idiotic.
Rick Perkins, former MP, one of my favorites on the Green Slush Fund file.
Great shame that he wasn't re-elected.
Is just absolutely scorching the liberals on this.
Former MP Michelle Ferrari, she says, sorry, I'm just bringing it up.
Not only did Mark Carney give terrorists what they want, he's giving Donald Trump every reason to rationalize annexing us.
Yeah, because we are legitimizing terror.
What do you think this says to the Jewish communities in Montreal, like in Utremont, in Toronto, that are terrorized by these Hamas sympathizers every week?
That you can just terrorize a community of innocent Jews with your rampant anti-Semitism and Mark Carney will side with the aggressor?
There's no rule of law.
Yeah, Trump says Canada backing statehood for Palestine makes it very hard to negotiate a U.S. trade deal.
There you go.
You know what?
Not in the new country.
We're out of here.
We're out of here.
Alberta's looking better and better.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's just a nightmare.
I'll let you pick the next thing that we can talk about.
But like I said, our national nightmare of embarrassment.
Really, I mean, this is a level of despicability that I don't even think Trudeau reached when it comes to the anti-Semitism issue at all.
Yeah.
And we'll see once the House comes back in September if this actually ends up coming to fruition, because I suspect that Carney is going to have to backpedal pretty huge on this one.
Well, he made the big announcement.
But the internet doesn't, the internet is forever, Mark Carney.
We have the clips.
So stay tuned.
Let's go to one quick ad break and then we'll come back to hit that last headliner.
And if we have any other time, we'll get to some other things.
And don't forget to, we can take in your super chats or your rumble rants if anyone wants to chime in on any of these topics, especially as we head into charter-protected bike lanes.
Maybe someone will want to hit us up with some chats.
Oh, my lord.
All right, quick ad break.
We'll come back for the bike lanes.
Gun bands make great distractions.
Trudeau may be gone, but Carney has picked up his same rhetoric.
Hunters, collectors, competitors, and defenders of tradition are still being targeted while criminals run wild under liberal policy.
But we are fighting back.
Join us.
Canada's National Firearms Association in defense of freedom.
Canadians know the national anthem.
They stand in silence to remember those who died for this country.
But not every Canadian knows their rights and freedoms.
The Freedom Passport will change that.
It looks and feels like a Canadian passport, but contains the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in a portable, easy to read format.
The Freedom Passport.
Order one for yourself and for all the freedom lovers that you love at freedompassport.ca.
Oh my goodness.
All right.
This one comes from the Globe and Mail.
And I just had it pulled up and then it.
It refreshed on me.
And I can't get the full article.
If we could put the full article, there we have it in the archive.
So as I mentioned, this one comes from the Globe and Mail.
And oh, I need to make sure that I'm not a robot here online.
Okay.
So the Ontario had plans to remove bike lanes and the Court of Appeal just ruled that that is unconstitutional.
Lo and behold, the opening, the lead here says, a judge has ruled that the Ontario government's plan to remove bike lanes along three major streets in Toronto is unconstitutional and violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms by putting people at, oh, I can't even get through it, at increased risk of harm and death.
Death, you'll die without a bike lane.
I can't, oh my goodness.
It's it, the fact that we've lived through the last five years of constitutionally infringing government actions like repeatedly, excessively and aggressively.
And we're here now with bike lane removal being deemed unconstitutional, putting people at risk of harm and death.
This is, this is the peak, peak bizarre world.
I mean, literally, I say it all the time.
I don't think I can get any crazier.
And then something like this comes out.
And I'm like, what kind of world are we even living in?
So it comes in light of the government passing legislation last fall to try to give itself the power to remove existing bike lanes along Young Street, Bluer Street, and University Avenue, which are like key major routes of the downtown core that are just perpetually congested that you quite literally could walk through faster than you could drive through.
Sure.
Yeah, you guys have worse traffic in North America.
Worse waste.
Toronto.
Worse than LA.
Worse than New York City.
Yeah.
The time, the time, the drivetime.
Like, I can't believe when I'm there, I'm always overwhelmed by the traffic.
I'm not a city person.
Like, I'm the only car that I see on my road most days.
Otherwise, it's just tractors.
And I, you know, I avoid the city during like Edmonton during, you know, rush hour or whatever.
But Toronto, like even in the middle of the night, it's bad.
Cause like I catch weird flights because it's cheaper.
And whenever I'm flying into Toronto, even when it's the middle of the night, three, four in the morning that I'm headed to the airport, it's horrendous.
Toronto Traffic Woes 00:08:50
How many lanes?
Like it's just, you just feel like an ant in an ant colony there.
It's oppressive.
Can we bring that article back up?
Because I will tell you my two favorite things in this article.
Aside from the death and the harm.
Yes, and the harm.
The legislation was challenged.
This is my favorite.
Thank you for bringing this up.
The legislation was challenged by the advocacy group, Cycle Toronto.
And two cyclists who use the lanes regularly.
That too?
Like Edmonton has bike lanes, although they're moving away from having so many bike lanes because we're a winter city, by the way.
And nobody ever uses the bike lanes.
Like I always just see people using them to go around stuff or delivery vehicles parked in a bike lane or whatever.
Is it the same in Toronto where people are not using the bike lanes?
Do they actually use them?
I mean, people use the bike lanes, but why can't you just use your bike in the lane where the rest of the cars go like everybody else?
Didn't you hear?
Death, death to you.
This, yeah.
So, these two cyclists, people, and people say, Oh, you know, Tamira, go into the office for the live stream.
It's only an hour away.
And I'm like, wait, did you factor in the 401 and Toronto traffic?
Because it may only seem like, you know, if you use Google distance from Coburg to Toronto, yes, it's an hour.
If you don't get caught up in all of that massive, relentless congestion.
It is taking always construction and also perpetual construction.
So, usually, what I'll try to do if I go into the office is I stay until at least 7 p.m. to bypass all of that rush hour craziness.
And even then, one time it took me four hours to get Calgary from at 7 p.m. because I hit all of these one-lane slowdowns on the way home.
And so, normally it would be fairly smooth sailing.
And no, and so that just gives me like PTSD thinking about driving in the city.
I absolutely hate it.
And I am an aggressive, I am an aggressive driver.
I have no, I have no qualms driving in the city, but it's the vast amount of time wasted sitting in traffic, trying to get around stupid people.
The transport trucks are out of control because there's a whole licensing racket with people who are never trained to drive truck, especially in Canada.
And it is a mess.
The roads are a mess.
But I guess trying to fix that and get more vehicle lanes back to deal with some of this congestion would just cause harm and death to cyclists.
Harm and death and destruction.
We cannot have that.
That's crazy to me.
Like in the West, there's a vast distance between our major municipalities.
And I don't mind driving from my place to Calgary.
It's about four hours, eight-hour round trip, but it is smooth sailing the whole time.
Yes.
On the open road, there's a bend in the road by Lacombe, and that's about it.
You know, like if I'm going to three hours east, like if I'm going to Saskatoon or something, I just get to the highway, I hang a left, and I drive straight till I get there.
It's perfect.
The idea of sitting in traffic and not moving is a special circle of hell for me.
I just can't do it.
Same, same.
I also likewise cannot do it.
But I wanted to just read the whistle stops take on all of this.
Yeah, Chris, he was great.
Removing a bike lane would breach the charter, but jailing me for three days for protesting government mandates, which were illegal, by the way, doesn't.
What about chaining the doors on places of worship or cafes?
I guess I should have just put in a bike lane.
Like this is madness.
But the perfect thing is he's trolling Jason Kenney, the premier who had him arrested, who chained up his gas station and his campground for some reason and carted him off to jail for three days.
Jason Kenney is outraged about how this should not be considered a charter right.
That's great.
Thanks for showing up, Jason Kenney.
Might you talk to Jason Kenney from 2021 if you get a chance?
Tell that guy about charter rights now.
Paging Jason Kenney and all of the governments who imposed vaccine mandates for various sectors all across the country.
Where were you guys about constitutionality back then?
Right.
Oh, and by the way, same municipalities are banning Christian worship, right?
Like these municipalities who are like, it's your charter right to have a bike lane, don't think it's your charter right to be the Christian, be a Christian in the public square.
It's just, we just make it up as we go around here.
Like nowhere in the charter does it say that you should be in a bike lane, but it does say that you have a right to worship and assemble and express yourself.
And you can do those anywhere as long as you're not disrupting other people and especially in public parks.
Like that's the that's for the public and for the public expression of your faith.
You don't have to keep it inside.
And I just want the reason I bring that up is we have a BC conservative MLA who's now coming out and issuing a similar statement to what the province of Alberta did.
We reached out to the province of Alberta for comment because the NDP and the far left-wing loony tunes in this province, and I don't know if I should make a distinction between those two groups.
You know what I mean?
I probably should lump the mainstream media in with them.
They're angling to get Christian musician Sean Feucht's worship service at the Alberta legislature grounds canceled because they want to be inclusive of everybody.
I'm like, canceling Christians is actually exclusive.
You're excluding them.
But the Alberta government issued a statement said, we don't police speech around here as long as they have the proper permits and they've done things right.
If you have been permitted to use the space, then use the space.
We don't have a litmus test on that sort of stuff, as long as you're not making calls to terror or whatever.
And so Heather Moss, BC, MLA, I forget where she's from.
I don't know.
I don't know which writing she's from.
Anyways, she says, oh, Chilliwack North.
Thank you.
And this is in response to Abbotsford, which ironically is in what should be considered the Bible Belt of British Columbia.
Although demographics are rapidly changing, as they are in most places in this country.
The cancellation of Christian worship conference or concert at Mill Lake Park.
Get that?
Mill Lake Park.
It's park.
In Abbotsford raises serious concerns, not only for people of faith, but for all Canadians who value freedom of expression, religion, and peaceful assembly.
Public spaces like Mill Lake Park are meant to serve as forums for a diversity of voices and beliefs.
While Canada must never tolerate hate speech or calls to violence, simply expressing traditional or faith-based perspectives, however unpopular in some circles, I'm glad she pointed that out, does not constitute hate.
Shutting down events based on ideological disagreement without any evidence of unlawful content or conduct sends a chilling message that certain views, especially those rooted in religious conviction, are no longer welcome in public life.
This trend is deeply troubling.
It's not just a local or faith-based issue.
It's a national one.
When public authorities give pass to openly anti-Semitic pro-Hamas demonstrations on our streets, but crack down on peaceful Christian gatherings, the inconsistency is not just offensive, it's dangerous.
The selective enforcement of tolerance risks eroding the very freedoms that define Canadian democracy.
This is a lawful, peaceful event intended to bring the community together in worship and music.
Its cancellation undermines the principles of an open democratic society.
MLA Heather Maz, Chilliwack North.
I'm glad she said it because that's exactly true.
And speaking of Sean Feuch, we have a better look at the Antifa adjacent individual who threw two smoke bombs into his church, into his service and his worship while they were in Montreal.
This comes from Alexa Lavois posted a better photo.
Cringe Cyclists Without Helmets 00:04:13
You can see the guy with the suspenders there in the front.
You can see him walking.
And so if you know who this gentleman, I hesitate to call him such.
If you know who this person is.
He's built like SpongeBob on his way to a job interview.
If you know a guy like that, look at him.
Findtheathug.
He's a square with legs.
Yeah.
Head on over to findthethug.ca.
Send us your tips.
Who is this thug?
Help us find out who this is.
And if you have any other footage or better footage, let us know also at that website.
And that's kind of our, that kind of could play into our daily dose of cringe because we hit the headliners.
But speaking of bike lanes upholding life, liberty, and security, we have Olivia Chow here, of course.
She is a recipient.
Toronto mayor.
She's really cringe.
This is an old clip, arguably, but it ties in with the bike lane theme.
And so this is, this is, I don't know, a video from last year where Chow and one of her fellow counselors were cycling down Bay Street for bike to work day.
So you can see her there with her flower laden basket and her helmet.
Just biking around Toronto with a dress and a blazer on.
Is it me or do almost all of these people on these bikes look exactly the same?
Like just boomer Ontario leftists bunging up traffic to prove a point because they got the time on their hands and they've got their $2 million house that they bought for a penny whistle and a moon pie back in 1967.
And I see a handful of them not wearing helmets.
So do we want to talk about death?
Right.
There's a guy in a hat there.
Yeah.
What are these cyclists?
Look at them just living on the edge here.
There's some, there's several of them without helmets on.
I don't know if they really care about the constitutionality of bike lanes if they're not wearing helmets while they're riding.
I know that they don't care about death and destruction there.
That guy doesn't care.
Oh my goodness.
Look at that.
The bike helmet police.
I don't care.
If you want to dunk, I don't care.
But don't make that your excuse to make us pay for your expensive bike lanes.
By the way, who pays for the bike lines?
Bike lanes?
The people who drives the cars, right?
You guys pay for that with gas tax that goes to road maintenance.
So these are just, and I know David Menzies is a cyclist.
He is.
But he's not one of those self-important entitled cyclists.
And so is Christia Freeland.
She actually doesn't even own a car.
And so she's not.
We don't want her on the road.
We don't want her cycling.
She's just cycling around all the time.
I don't know how she gets to Ottawa and back with her entourage.
I can tell you she uses a limo.
She sends her limo ahead of her plane when she's flying.
I found that in her flight records back, I think, in 2019.
I compared her limo expenses to her flight records and I found that she was sending the limo ahead of her to pick her up at the airport.
And so that's how our green queen was treating us.
But on the flip side, I'm not sure I want her in a car behind the wheel because when she was behind the wheel in Alberta, she got a ticket so big that she probably should have lost her license.
And you can see this, this clip of the cyclists with Olivia Chow leading the way.
That is Bay Street.
So I believe that was one of the ones that was going to be removed.
They were proposing to remove one of those bike lanes.
I mean, look at that bike lane.
Could that is a whole list of traffic that could alleviate some of that congestion?
Like, and why can't a cyclist just they can weave in and out of traffic however they so please?
Why do they need a bike lane?
This amount of cyclists, I would say you don't see in Toronto using the lane.
Fun Ways to Contact Representatives 00:02:19
Like they're maybe trickling by.
Um, there's no need to have a full lane like that, in my opinion.
But we have a couple super chats.
Thank you, everyone.
Uh, Politicians Never Lie says, please provide emails for government liberals, Carney, Diab, etc.
Yeah, you can, you should be able to find that.
Um, you can literally just Google if you go to, here's the quickest way, go to ourcommons.ca, ourcommons.ca, and then you can search by MP there and you'll have all of their contact information, including their constituency office phone number.
Yeah, so if I just pulled up Carney's and I think I just even googled Mark Carney Parliament and it was the first one.
And so if we have that page pulled up, I can show you how to find, there's a little tab and you just, it's right, scroll right under his photo, roles, work, and then contact.
And so if you click contact, you can find his email and you can also send snail mail and you don't need to provide postage sending to a member of parliament.
So you can just throw it, make it out properly on a letter, an envelope, I should say, and it will get to your member of parliament or prime minister, whoever.
So you can look up anyone that way.
And then there's also a fun way you can, it's called opengov.ca, I believe it is.
And you can also find like random bureaucrats and their contacts, including their phone numbers sometimes, not that they'll pick up, but it's also a fun way that you can contact people who are not elected to represent you, but represent you nonetheless.
Right.
Like if you want to, if you want to ask Stephan Perot what exactly he does around here, he's the head of elections Canada, you can find his information on there.
There you go.
Cecily, Cicely.
Yep.
Cecily Bardole gives $10.
Thank you very much.
I enjoyed this podcast.
Many diverse opinions.
This is democracy.
Big thanks, ladies.
Well, thank you.
We appreciate your support and your comments.
It's always fun to hear from our viewers directly.
And with that, I think we're a wrap here, just about five minutes past the hour.
And there will be two rebels hosting you again tomorrow.
I think it's David and Drea.
Andrea, yeah.
Tell Government to Act 00:01:41
Yes.
On for your Friday roundup.
And that's ahead of the long weekend, too.
So don't forget we won't have a stream on Monday.
So we'll resume back normal time and place 1 to 2 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday, August, whatever day that is, the 4th.
Yes.
No, sorry, the 5th.
Yeah.
So ahead of the long weekend, thanks everyone for joining.
Thanks to everyone behind the scenes who made this stream possible.
Thanks, Sheila, for being the regular, mostly regular host of the stream.
And to all of our viewers and supporters, of course, thanks for watching.
And thanks for the fun little super chats and super thanks, Rumble Rants, whatever it so be.
Until next time, hold on to your critical thinking caps because you are going to need them.
Stay safe.
Folks, we all know this is a serious time for our province and our country with President Trump taking direct aim at our economy.
His goal is to take every single business out of our country, out of our province, and bring it down to the U.S.
But I'll tell you, I will fight like I've never fought before.
We're going to continue fighting against President Trump and his radical views.
I better stop there because I'll get on a rent.
And I'll just tell you, our government is doing everything in its power to cut red tape and make Ontario and Canada the strongest economy in the G7.
Our government has a plan to protect Ontario.
And I always say our job is not only protect Ontario, but protect communities, protect families, protect jobs and businesses.
And that's exactly what we're going to do.
