EZRA LEVANT | Mark Carney accomplished nothing for Canada — six months on the job

Mark Carney’s first 175 days as Canada’s PM shocked Liberals by slashing the carbon tax to zero, abandoning U.S. tariffs without Trump concessions, and inviting a Project 2025 think tank leader to a cabinet retreat—ignoring CBC’s authoritarian warnings. His pipeline blocks forced Japan and Germany to bypass Canadian oil for OPEC deals, costing billions in trade leverage. Meanwhile, the CFIA’s refusal to retest 400 healthy ostriches after 232 days of quarantine, despite scientific immunity claims, mirrors broader distrust in foreign labor programs and immigration schemes, exposing systemic overreach and corporate reliance on exploitative policies.

Canada's Tariff Triumph 00:09:19
Hello, my friends.
Can you believe it?
Mark Carney has been prime minister for 175 days.
That's just under half a year.
What has he done?
Well, I'll tell you one thing he's done.
He's confused the liberals and made them cheer for things they claim they hate.
I'll give you a few examples.
But first, let me invite you to get a subscription to Rebel News Plus.
That's our video version of this podcast.
Just go to rebelnewsplus.com and click subscribe.
It's eight bucks a month.
For example, today I'm going to show you a bunch of clips, and I want you to see them, not just hear them.
I really think there's so much more when you watch our show as opposed to just hear it.
It's still great to listen to.
But go to RebelNewsPlus.com.
It's $8 a month, which might not sound like a lot to you, but it really helps us stay strong because we don't get any money from the government and its shows.
Tonight, Mark Carney has been prime minister for 175 days today.
What exactly has he accomplished?
It's September 4th, and this is the Ezra Levant show.
Shame on you, you censorious bug.
I find it remarkable how few people care about what Justin Trudeau is up to these days.
I mean, I myself don't care either, but even the media party who used to love him, other than going on a date with the fading American pop star Katy Perry, no one cares.
Maybe that's normal.
Maybe that's healthy.
I mean, I suppose when Trudeau took over from Stephen Harper in 2015, Harper pretty quickly vanished, but I think that's more because he didn't want to stick around or interfere.
He was starting his new consulting business.
But I still find it incredible that the country's political media industrial complex can go from hanging on Trudeau's every word to acting like he's a stranger.
That said, we're still saddled with many Trudeau era cronies.
Half of Mark Carney's cabinet ministers are reheated leftovers from Trudeau's time.
Here's the brilliant, coherent, strategic, thoughtful Melanie Jolie.
We need to create new partnerships in the world.
The world is being redistributed in economic blocks right now.
And that is why for countries that believe in free trade, there's a space.
We can work with others.
And we will work with Europe.
And we will work with other Asian countries.
And that's also super important because it's our way to make sure that we continue to benefit from all the advantages that trade has given us over the last decades.
Well, a few things.
I mean, we can't sell Europe what they want to buy from us because for a decade, the Trudeau Liberals and now the Carney Liberals have blocked Canadians from selling our most valuable products, oil and gas.
It's not even close.
Automobiles are a distant second to the sheer value of the oil and gas we produce for the world.
Now, we sell more than 90% of it to the United States, of course, and they cleverly resell some of that to foreign countries, including in Europe, at a markup.
Think about that.
We sell to America and then they ship abroad because we don't have any pipelines to blue water.
At least not to Europe.
There is now a pipeline to the West Coast called the Trans Mountain.
But Trudeau blocked pipelines.
He blocked Energy East that would have brought more than a million barrels of Canadian oil every day to New Brunswick, which is where the largest refinery in Canada is located.
And currently, that Canadian refinery is being filled up by OPEC oil from tankers from the Middle East.
Can you believe it?
Trudeau interfered to keep it that way.
No liquid, liquefied LNG natural gas ports either.
Japan and Germany and Korea all asked for us to sell them oil and gas.
Not to give it to them, to sell it to them, especially so they didn't have to buy it from corrupt regimes, either in OPEC or Russia.
But Trudeau said there was no business case for it.
I yes, the great businessmind of the ages, the great industrialist, the great financier and visionary.
Trudeau, he just knew in his bones that no one would want our oil and gas, so he didn't bother to let private companies make it happen.
In fact, he positively stopped them.
So they went ahead and these countries signed a massive deal with OPEC dictatorships like Qatar.
So yeah, thanks, Trudeau.
The Qataris think there's a business case.
As Mark Carney's new energy minister told the Germans last week, as I showed you, there is physically no chance that Canada could possibly get any oil or gas or even minerals to Europe, even in five years, even if everything were to start now.
It's just five years just to build the infrastructure.
So I'm not an engineer.
I think the goal and what I've seen the proponents talking about is being able to ship in as little as five years.
So that's what their goal is.
Yeah, not sure what Melanie Jolie thinks we can sell to Europe that they want.
They told us what they want: oil and gas, ethical oil and gas, so they can get off the conflict oil and gas from Russia mainly.
There was this weird moment where she actually said the whole world wants Canada's expertise on how to deal with Donald Trump.
So if there's a country in the world that understands the U.S., it's Canada.
And so that's why there's so many delegations, so many countries that are coming to see us to ask us about the new administration, to ask us about how we and they can adapt.
And so I think that Canada's influence is actually increasing because of the impacts that the world is now facing with the new administration.
Yeah, I'm not sure if that was ever true.
Not sure that's worth anything.
Certainly not worth, you know, a billion dollars a day, which is what our oil and gas exports are worth.
But in the end, it's not true.
A few weeks ago, Mark Carney just admitted surrender to Donald Trump, dropping all of our tariffs against the United States for nothing in return.
So let's be absolutely clear.
Canada currently has the best trade deal with the United States.
And while it's different from what we had before, it is still better than that of any other country.
So as we work to address outstanding trade issues with the United States, it's important, it's vital.
We do everything we can to preserve this unique advantage for Canadian workers, Canadian businesses.
And doing so will require both building on a soon-to-be revised CUSMA, our free trade agreement with the U.S. and Mexico, as well as developing a new form of trade and security partnership with the United States.
In this context, and consistent with Canada's commitment to CUSMA, I'm announcing today that the Canadian government will now match, we will now match the United States by removing all of Canada's tariffs on U.S. goods.
Here's what I don't get.
Carney has dropped all the tariffs against the United States.
Just total surrender, just taking it.
The opposite of what he campaigned on in the election, elbows up, you know.
So why is Carney's right-hand man, Doug Ford, still doing weird stunts, getting more and more desperate for attention, like he's some reality star, like this one here?
You're going after the largest customer.
You know something?
I always say smart people aren't too smart.
And you guys are about as dumb as a bag of hammers for doing this.
So, you know something?
I found a bottle, and I don't even drink of Crown Oil, right?
I see that Crown Royal.
I saw it at home.
So, this is what I think about Crown Oil.
That's what they could do.
And I think everyone else should do the same thing.
Start supporting companies that make whiskey here by Ontario people.
That's what we need to do: support each other.
You know, something I'm going to make this even come out quicker because it's not coming out.
I know Mayor Berry wants to lie on the floor right now.
No, man, but no.
I wish we could get this coming out quicker, but I'll stand here and pull it off.
So, if I understand it right, he is now deciding to punish a Canadian company.
I don't know if you know this, but Crown Royal is, they make their whiskey in Gimli, Manitoba, which is part of Canada.
But Doug Ford is really mad at them, and he's mad at Trump, even though his boss, Mark Carney, has surrendered to Trump, and nobody in the White House is talking to any of them.
Oh, yeah, except someone in Canada apparently wants to sign up to the American anti-missile system called Golden Dome.
And Trump says he'll think about it.
In Huntsville Spacecom will play a key role in building the Golden Dome, as you know.
Doug Ford's Climate Punishment 00:02:31
That's going to be a big thing.
Everybody wants to be a participant in it.
Missile Defense Shield, we're going to be having a Golden Dome that the likes of which nobody's ever seen before.
The finest, the best.
And by the way, Canada Call, they want to be a part of it, and that'll be great.
But Canada wants very much to be included in that.
And then we're going to work something out with them, I hope.
Yeah, if you can tell me what Mark Carney has achieved in the last 175 days as prime minister, then you're ahead of me.
What has he achieved with Donald Trump other than total surrender?
What has he achieved with finding other markets?
But let me tell you something funny today.
A few stories that sort of combined got my mind, stories that show the uselessness of our political media class in Canada and how hollow their beliefs are.
If you were to ask me how Carney won the election, I think it's sort of simple.
I would say it was two parts.
First of all, he announced he was going to dial the carbon tax down to zero.
Now, he didn't repeal it.
He just turned the rate down to zero.
He'll put it back up another time.
So he scrapped the carbon tax, at least it appears that way.
The guy who led G-Fans, that's the Global Financial Alliance for Net Zero, that was basically convincing all the banks in the world to reduce carbon.
He was the leading carbon tax lobbyist in the world, you could say.
Suddenly, he said it wasn't important or urgent anymore, his life's work.
Well, he did that so he could take away Pierre Polyev's top issue.
So he said no more carbon tax, and he took away a huge reason to vote against him.
And then, of course, he posed as the Trump fighter when we now see he was, in fact, the Trump surrenderer.
So those are two parts.
But back to that carbon tax.
You know, for a whole generation now, it's like 25 years, the challenging gotcha question for every conservative running for office has always been, what's your climate plan?
What's your net zero emissions plan?
What's your plan to meet the Paris climate protocol?
What will you do to stop the planet from global warming, from global boiling?
How many federal election debates have had an entire section devoted to that issue?
How many op-eds have been written by the wise people?
It's got to be in the thousands.
And then as soon as the liberal candidate says, guys, that's an inconvenient issue for me.
I'm doing a 180-degree turn, and I don't really want to talk about it at all.
CBC Invites 2025 Bash 00:07:23
And they just all said, okay, Every single one of them.
The Toronto Star, the CBC, people who talked about climate emergencies and climate crises and how the climate was killing old people and killing young people, the Greta people, suddenly they just actually didn't care anymore.
Even Greta didn't care.
She was too busy working for Hamas.
Because it was all fake the whole time.
It was just a way to bash conservatives, to bash the West, to bash America.
And in this case, the liberal champion, the only guy who could defeat Pierre Polyev, said, guys, I'm on the wrong side of that issue.
Can you help me out?
And they said, sure, they just did.
The ideology they claim to believe in so deeply forever, they just, in the wink of an eye, just abandon it, all of them, all of them, for power.
Isn't that funny?
I'll come back to that in a minute.
Because look what else Mark Carney has said and done in his 175 days as prime minister.
We showed you what he said yesterday about temporary foreign workers.
Pierre Polyev said he wants to phase out the temporary foreign worker program.
And Carney met that and rebutted it by saying that he met with big business CEOs and they all agreed it was better for them to pay workers less.
And they actually wanted more of these low-cost foreign indentured laborers.
So that's who he listens to, and that's that.
That program has a role.
It has to be focused in terms of its role.
And it's part of what we're reviewing.
It's part of what we will be discussing: how well the temporary foreign worker program is working and how our overall immigration system is working.
We've been absolutely clear as a government that we want and we're putting in place policies so that the overall level of immigration as a proportion of the population will decline from around 7% today to around 5% several years from now.
Now, the biggest contributor to immigration is not temporary foreign workers.
It's a variety of other factors.
And I will say, Javier, pasque sippotal, when I talk to businesses around the country, especially particularly in Quebec, but elsewhere across the country, their number one issue is tariffs, and their number two issue is access to temporary foreign workers.
Okay.
And he was literally looking the CBC in the eye and saying, look, I spoke with the CEOs, I spoke with my fellow oligarchs and billionaires, and we all agree lower wages are better for us.
Not a word from the labor unions, not a word from the NDP.
And the CBC didn't just report Mark Carney's statement.
They went into action fighting for him.
They had panel after panel defending foreign workers.
They brought on experts who said that high wages for Canadian citizens, it's a form of xenophobia to say no to low-wage foreigners.
The CBC just immediately became shills for industrial employers versus the workers.
And then, Chef's Kiss.
Let me show you this headline in the CBC.
It has since been changed, but here's the one I saw earlier this morning.
The headline is: Project 2025 Mastermind, invited to speak at Carney's cabinet meeting.
And this is at the CBC, which was apoplectic.
I don't know if you've heard of the phrase Project 2025.
It didn't get a lot of chatter up here in Canada.
It was an idea put together by different U.S. conservative think tanks on sort of a manifesto of what they would do or what they would want Donald Trump to do if he won the 2024 election.
They put this together actually years before.
This was sort of their idea of Trump wins, we don't want to waste a minute's time.
Here's all of our ideas.
It was a 900-page manifesto.
By the way, Trump himself later said, Well, that's not really mine.
And he has picked up some ideas from it.
To me, the deliciousness of the head of the MAGA movement, which CBC can't say without spitting, being invited into the heart of the Liberal cabinet retreat, the CBC could not believe this.
They talked to their liberal friends.
And let me just quote: it's being criticized as an authoritarian playbook and a far-right assault on America by Policy Institute, the Center for American Progress.
So they asked this liberal think tank to denounce this guest.
Anyways, I love that part.
My point is, he invited like the equivalent of Rush Limbaugh, I guess you could say, to speak to the liberal meeting.
But Mark Carney is their man.
Mark Carney is their guy.
I mean, I say again, these were the folks who just went nuts when that Christian singer, Sean Foyt, because he was Trump adjacent, he was just doing some prayer meetings across Canada, and everyone went mental.
But he's just a pastor who loves doing outdoor prayer services.
He's not a political leader, but the Liberal Party invited the master of the dark arts, the conjurer of right-wing things, the evil heart of MAGA, right there into the Liberal retreat.
Now, I think that they were later appalled and they rescinded the invitation, but you saw where their heart was.
Hey, if you had a time machine and went back 12 months in time to September of 2024, when Trudeau was still the leader, but he was down by 20 points, when things were falling apart for him, when there was a mutiny.
And if you were to say back then that in one year's time, by September 2025, there will be a prime minister who ends the carbon tax, who listens to CEOs, who consults with right-wing Republicans.
Oh, and he's a liberal, not a conservative.
What would a person a year ago have said to you?
They would have said you're nuts.
They would have said, oh, no, that's exactly what Pierre Polly was going to do.
It's so weird, isn't it?
But then again, it just goes to show: never believe anything the liars say.
When the CBC or when the lobby groups call you right-wing, when they say you're too trumpy, when they say you hate the planet or whatever, they don't actually believe those things themselves.
They don't actually believe in anything or any position.
Everything I just listed, ending the carbon tax, listening to CEO billionaires, undermining workers, hobnobbing with Trumpy guys, are things that they have said they always hated, and yet they abide it because it's their guy now.
It's Mark Carney, so they are just fine with it.
Anything to stop the evil conservatives.
What a laugh, eh?
But even so, a thing to cry over, too.
I mean, 175 days as prime minister, and what has he done for the country?
I'll tell you, I'm a little surprised.
I mean, the chairman of a trillion-dollar company called Brookfield Asset Management hasn't been able to do anything, to manage anything, to accomplish anything in 175 days.
That's half a year.
Nothing.
Tell me one thing, I challenge you.
What has he achieved in half a year?
My God, what did he actually do at Brookfield?
Oh, other than drive down wages for workers, that is.
Stay with us for more.
Drea Humphrey here with Rebel News reporting to you from 301 Langill Road.
Farmers vs. CFIA 00:15:55
That's the rural address of Universal Ostrich Farms.
And behind me is one of the ostriches whose lives, there's his long neck prehistoric being behind me, whose lives is hanging in the balance because at any moment the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is set to come onto this farm property,
tell the farm owners that they can have access to anything the farmers own and execute their call mission to kill 400 healthy ostriches who, as of today, September 3rd, when I'm filming this, have been healthy for 232 days.
The story makes absolutely no sense, yet here it is, a reality in Canada.
And today I ask the farmers and some of the supporters who have come here to support them in their fight to try to stop that call.
Why?
Why do they think the CFIA wants to kill these birds?
All right, this is Jodi.
Now she just came back from foraging and you're getting these mushrooms ready for the farm.
But I'm asking everybody, why do you think the CFIA isn't backing down, even though there's so much pressure coming from all ends to do so?
Because they won't say they're wrong.
That's plain and simple.
They know that if they do that, then don't want to admit that they're wrong, basically.
Pride.
pride.
it's such overreach though so it's it's you know it's hard to to imagine why they they don't And, you know, it really is.
Why do you think the CFIA isn't backing off, even though there's so much pressure for them to do so?
I think if one looks at the psychological motivation, this is fear.
Introduce fear into a community.
And 99% of the people will simply comply.
There are very few people who will actually stand up and stand up for their principles and see it through, even if they punished, even if they've got, you know, its consequences.
And there's books being written about this, how to control the messes.
I believe that they do not have to, that they're playing a game.
They're playing a different game than we are playing.
So why aren't they backing down?
It's a different game.
They're playing a power game.
We're playing a life game.
The two games are different.
Maybe.
I think that they're on a mission to prove that they have the power and that the people don't.
They said they were going to kill them and they are darn certain that, you know, and what's really ridiculous is the people that own the ostriches aren't even allowed to test them.
The CFIA won't test them and the people aren't allowed.
They will go to jail and be fined.
I think it's $200,000 just for testing their own animals.
And I think it could be, you know, sounds, you know, conspiracy theorist, I know, but there's a lot of conspiracy theory is actually conspiracy fact.
And there's about six months between going from theory to fact, it seems.
Yeah, exactly.
It doesn't take long, does it?
Well, it's back.
The ostrich story.
And I have to tell you, Rebel News has covered the ostrich story from the heart of BC near Lumbee, British Columbia, better than any other news outlet.
And I have to say, I wouldn't have funk it, but this has become international news.
Even high officials in the U.S. administration have been seized with this subject.
And it's all thanks to the coverage by our BC Bureau chief, Drea Humphrey, who joins us now live from her cell phone on location at the ostrich farm.
Drea, how you doing?
I'm doing pretty good.
And most importantly, the ostriches behind me, look, oh my goodness, mating.
That's how healthy they are.
They're making babies right behind me right now.
You know, it's incredible.
There's a real international battle over these birds.
And I've got to think that that's because there's something very deeply symbolic about it.
The farmers, I don't know if we call an ostrich ranch, they say that these birds are safe and healthy, and there's no reason they ought to be put down.
I think the biggest problem here right now is we're really seeing an uproar in Canadians and on an international level where we're asking for that restoring accountability between Canadians and our Democrats.
And we need to restore trust between Canadian Food Inspection Agency, between our farmers.
And we're finding a problem right now because it's actually putting humanity more at risk.
Our farmers are not trusting the very organizations that should be protecting us.
And they don't want to report reportable diseases.
They're afraid.
So if we have that fear, when we should have trust, it puts us more at risk.
And yeah, it's a big deal.
I feel like the other side, the government regulators, the busybodies, the precautionary principles slaughter the whole flock types.
I feel like it's become a symbolic battle.
And if they lose this, they'll lose some of their power.
Like, part of me thinks this can't just be about the birds.
It's got to be about much more.
But look, I'm thousands of kilometers away.
You're right there.
You tell me, why is this such a big battle?
Well, there's that word, why?
That's what everybody is asking.
And in fact, a report coming out later today where I talked to some of the supporters and the farmers, I asked them the same question.
Why do they think this is happening?
My personal theory on what is happening is two.
One is a very simple way of looking at it.
They have been mass culling poultry.
These particular birds are not actually poultry, but they've been mass culling poultry for years in the name of avian flu.
And British Columbia alone, 9 million since 2022.
If they save these birds on the premise that obviously they're healthy, actually 233 days as of today healthy, they open up the risk of other farms saying, well, wait a sec, we told you our birds were healthy.
Or future farms coming out and saying, well, we want our birds tested.
And of course, that's the real glaring issue here is not only is the CFIA refusing to retest these birds to go ahead and not just prove the farmers right.
There are scientists that have come out and said these birds would be immune by now.
They're not only not testing, they're threatening the farmers with six months in jail and an outstanding fine if they use their own money to test the animals themselves.
So that's the first.
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
By what right could they possibly say you can't even use your own money to test your own birds?
Like that, that would give rise to a lot of theories.
I mean, if you're not even like an independent test would give us the truth, or at least one expert's opinion of the truth.
And to say we don't want that to happen really draws into question the good faith of the government.
And you said CFIA.
I presume that's the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
Is that what that stands for?
That's exactly right.
That is who's in charge.
That's who has adopted the World Health Organization's stamping out policy.
And that in itself is of question, but they've also gone over and above.
Even if you go to the WHO with their guidelines on what should happen, these birds actually don't fit into the slaughter all because they are in such a rural area.
They're in their own zone and it's been longer.
I forget if it's 27 days or whatever.
It's been long past the amount of time, again, hundreds of days since they've been healthy.
So the CFIA is really sticking on it.
You talk about how that could give way to theories when they're saying, nope, don't you test them.
We're not going to test them.
So the other theory is the research these birds are involved in.
And when you slaughter this herd, you are slaughtering the research and the opportunities that lie with it.
Before quarantine last year, these birds were having their antibodies extracted from their eggs.
Ostrich birds have a thousand times more antibodies than chicken eggs do.
That was being used for therapeutics research against COVID-19.
Now the farmers and scientists and the Americans, we're talking the FDA under Trump, the NIH, head of Medicare, Dr. Oz, and of course, Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. saying, we will partner with you.
We will bring them here.
We'll lock arms on the research so that now that they've overcome avian flu, we can look at the therapeutics research to combat that.
So that's where the real sort of conspiracy theory comes in.
Because when we're having so much tension with our largest trading partners, why would you slaughter that opportunity, that research, to possibly find a better way to address this rather than mass calling?
Yeah, you know what?
This, I have to say, we cover a wide variety of stories at Rebel News.
Covering a flock of ostriches, I think is it a flock?
Is it a herd?
I don't know, is not a normal story for us, but people are so passionate.
I think because they see the unnecessary threat, which would be cruel to kill these animals, I think they are reminded that these World Health Organization, public health, this and that, they really lost a lot of their credibility over COVID.
And so we're saying, hang on, you sound like the crazy talk that the government was into over COVID.
Like, I think that might be part of it, is that people say, we remember how you treated humans.
You're going to treat these birds even worse.
I think there's a lot of reasons this has struck a chord with people.
It's also the classic David versus Goliath story.
You have this little ostrich farm versus these big government regulators, these big agencies.
This is such an interesting thing.
And the birds are so interesting to look at.
How many people are there right now?
I know that in the past there's been like lots of people in solidarity there.
Right.
So there's certainly a lot less than before.
I think part of that is the fact that people stayed for so long.
Those same people who are maybe able to do so have gone home.
You have the first week of school.
And of course, the end of summer.
And also it's midweek.
Clip or not that a whistleblower who came forth, I do know the source, but we can't say it, had said that something was going to go down this week.
So there's not as many people camped out here on the property.
If you have a look here, I would say amongst all of the vehicles, there's Katie right there.
Oh, yeah.
And there's Karen, the owner.
So that was a couple of the owners there going by with a slew of dogs as well.
It looks really fun, and you've gone to great lengths.
You've got a vehicle.
You're camping out there.
And there's other campers I see there too.
I'm guessing that so if the government makes a mood move, if they raid the farm, people will be there to object, to document, to witness, and just to say, stop.
And who knows?
Maybe some people are even radicalized.
They might even stand between the government and the ostriches.
I could imagine that's happening.
You never know.
Farmers have repeatedly said absolutely no violence, but they are calling for people to come stand with them.
They believe that this is a beacon of hope, that so much lies on it, whether it's property, farming, food sovereignty, economic scientific freedoms.
They're calling for people to bring a white shirt so that if something goes down, everybody's wearing white.
So I definitely think it would be something that, of course, Rebel News should be here to capture for the world to see what actually happens if this farm gets wiped out and everything that symbolizes along with it.
And I don't know if we could see a rest or what have you.
Well, I'm sure glad you're out there.
It's a very interesting story.
People, I think, around the world are watching it.
It's not just British Columbians or Canadians.
As you mentioned, the Americans are very interested.
Thank you for being out there.
I know you have a family and you have a lot of obligations at home.
So for you to take the time away, I really am grateful to you.
And I know our viewers are too.
To help you cover this story, to help rent the little camper that we've got for you, people can chip in.
It's at savetheostriches.com.
Is that right?
That's absolutely right.
I had to be stationed here.
The closest hotel, it's a little motel.
You have to actually take a ferry to and back so I could easily miss out on anything going down.
So camper van, Starlink.
I had to pick up groceries to come here because, again, I'm in the middle of nowhere.
So if you want to donate to that, please do at save theostriches.com.
That's the only way Rebel News is able to have our boots on the ground.
We don't take a penny from the government.
And so we do these missions believing you so much for that.
Yeah.
Well, thank you for being there.
And again, thanks to your family for being without you for the time.
But it looks like you're part of the family at the ostrich farm.
It looks like you know everybody there, obviously, the owners.
You have really been their window to the world and vice versa.
I know there are some other people who have been filming little videos on their phone, and I respect that.
But I think Rebel News has had the biggest reach.
And so I think that if this is victorious in the end, some of that credit does go to you because you have told the world.
I mean, our symbol at Rebel News is a megaphone, and you have been a megaphone for these farmers and their ostriches.
Last word to you, Drea.
Last word is the people as well.
Thousands of you have also joined the campaign that we have here.
It's a one-click email at savetheostriches.com, putting pressure on the right people to do the right thing here.
And so it's all of us if this miraculous win somehow happens.
And so that's what everybody here is rooting for.

Some good news again.
Well, that's great.
Thanks very much for being out there on behalf of all of us.
And it's just, it frankly, it looks like a little bit of fun.
I mean, I know it's hard work too, but it does look like a little bit of a change of base from typically covering politicians.
So I'm glad you're out there.
Thanks again.
All right.
I think we had a bit of a lag in our phone connection there, but that's our friend Drea Humphrey covering this interesting story from Lumby, British Columbia.
Stay with us more ahead.
Oh, hey, welcome back.
Your letters to me.
These are on Pierre Polyev and his statement about temporary foreign workers.
Atomic Gamer says, love it that he just came out and said yes.
No hesitation, no worming around the answer.
Yeah, I mean, I was sort of cooking up the question in my mind, would you name and shame these people?
Because the thing is, Pierre Polyev can announce policies, but is he really going to be in a position to implement them?
Now, as you saw, Michelle Rempelgardner said to me, well, foreign workers, there may be some groundswell amongst even left-wing Canadians to support a reform.
Yeah, could be.
But I think the way to do it is to go after the companies, especially the ones that fly the Canadian flag, but it's a lie.
OGCAD said, let's stand behind this.
We need to protest the Tim Hortons as a symbol of our complete displeasure.
Yeah, I've had a beef with Tim Hortons for quite a while.
I mean, remember, they denounced the Alberta oil patches unethical 10 years ago.
So I actually haven't darkened their doorstep in a long time.
But I think we should take a run at them again.
I think people are sort of sick of Tim Hortons these days.
Tom Cat Jeff, 1985, says, also end the international student program that took away the jobs from Canadians.
Well, a lot of those international students, they're not really students.
It was just a scheme to get them here.
They paid $10,000 to some immigration consultant to bring them here.
I saw a very interesting tweet by an Indo-Canadian today who said a lot of these retail shops and restaurants, they actually serve a purpose of one thing only, to be an immigration front.
So they're not actually making money as restaurants.
They're making money because those temporary foreign workers pay like $10,000 for the pleasure of working there.
That was something I had never considered before, but it rings true.
Well, that's our show for today.
Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, see you at home.
