Sheila Gunn-Reid and Tracy Wilson of the CCFR expose Canada’s gun buyback pilot—a $742M program targeting disadvantaged communities—as a failure, collecting just 25 guns from 16 participants despite an estimated 2M banned firearms nationwide. They accuse Public Safety Minister Gary Ananda Sangri of misleading claims while exploiting economic hardship through self-reporting incentives, citing violence against participants like a man beaten for surrendering his weapons. Alberta’s Scott Moe and Yukon’s Curry Dixon oppose the federal policy, contrasting Quebec’s support, as Wilson urges legal challenges via donations at ccfr.ca. Gunn-Reid ties this to climate policies, calling them predatory wealth transfers, and highlights Bill Gates’ 2025 essay admitting "doomsday" climate claims were wrong, while Canada’s carbon tax persists, stifling industries despite Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s emissions push. [Automatically generated summary]
The government of Canada is proving itself to be terribly incompetent and I couldn't be happier about it.
Yes, we're talking about the gun grab today.
I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed and you're watching The Gunn Show.
Now normally I don't cheer for government incompetence because it means a waste of taxpayer money and usually something very very bad being inflicted on poor law-abiding Canadians.
And And I should tell you that the gun grab is something bad being inflicted on everyday Canadians, law-abiding Canadians who've done nothing wrong.
They're not criminals, except by way of an act of government deciding to outlaw their property that was lawfully obtained and never used in the commission of a crime.
But it appears as though Canadians are uncooperative, to say the least, with Public Safety Minister Gary Ananda Sangri's attempts to have us willfully turn over our property to them.
Their latest attempt at people self-confiscating their firearms mustered about two dozen guns from a little over a dozen people.
And hopefully this will teach the government that this is a bad idea and Canadians don't want it.
But, you know, this government is not a government that learns anything easily.
Now, today I have Tracy Wilson from the Canadian Coalition for Firearms Rights to discuss the failures of Gary Ananda Sangri's gun control legislation and also where policing money could be better spent in this country.
take a lesson.
Joining me now is good friend of freedom and good friend of the show, Tracy Wilson of the Canadian Coalition for Firearms Rights.
Tracy, I wanted to have you on the show because I've been watching with quiet bemusement, although it's not so quiet.
And when I think about it, I'm not all that bemused because it's a tyrannical thing that the federal government's doing.
But I'm pleased to see it's failing.
And that is Gary Ananda Sangri's failed gun buyback.
And I loathe to use the word buyback because these guns were never the federal government's property in the first place.
But the uptake does not match the expenditure or the political capital being waste on this thing.
Tell us all about it.
Well, the more interesting number here, okay, we'll backtrack.
So the government's been banning guns from licensed gun owners since May of 2020, as you well know.
And of course, there's no rhyme or reason.
There's no method to their madness.
They're just picking this gun, but not that gun and continually adding to the list.
And at the same time, promising that they're going to go around and confiscate these from law-abiding citizens like you and I, which of course, I've said right from the beginning is logistically impossible.
It's such a monumental effort that the resources just simply don't exist for it.
So what do they do here?
They test out their system with a pilot program in Little Cape Breton, picking on, you know, socio-economically disadvantaged communities.
They pick on Cape Breton and they do this pilot program.
And the idea here is they're going to collect 200 firearms from people, and that should be enough to do the testing to test this national system before they roll it out.
So you're right, uptake was low.
They only managed to grab 25 guns, you know, probably from a bunch of, you know, widows or whatever.
But the more interesting number here is actually the number 16.
Only 16 people participated.
And, you know, we know the way the bureaucracy works and government works.
Testing a program of this scope and complexity on 16 people and Gary saying that it was a huge success is not just laughable.
It's actually concerning for the competence of not just this government, but Gary in particular.
Like just a whopper of a lie.
Like the amount of money that will be wasted on this program is going to be astounding.
I'm sure it's going to be well over a billion, probably two, because everything the government does is twice what you even imagine it is.
And this was done in a very reliably liberal voting place.
Yes.
And the uptake was entirely low.
So now when you think about rolling this out to places like beautiful downtown Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, I mean, it ain't going to work.
It ain't going to work.
But they just keep proceeding with this thing and claiming it's a success.
Like we have the evidence that it's not, but they will get up and hold a press conference saying what a wild success it was.
Well, liberals only tell the truth when they think nobody's listening.
And we've actually got evidence of that from Gary himself.
You'll remember a few months back where I leaked out that audio about Gary talking to one of his tenants.
And he was very clear that this isn't about public safety, that the gun grab is not going to work as a public safety measure.
You know, it's not really going to be enforced.
If his tenant gets in trouble and gets arrested or whatever, don't worry about it.
He'll bail you out.
If you get ripped off during the process of going through the confiscation program, you get ripped off by the government.
Don't worry about it.
He'll top it up.
Like just ludicrous behavior out of this guy, right?
And here's the problem.
What they're going to do first is they'll open up this portal.
So gun owners like you and I will be expected to go in there and self-report.
And this is the dangerous part because, you know, they know about our AR-15s.
Those were previously restricted and therefore registered.
And like I've always said, the only purpose for registration is confiscation.
So those, they're going to have, we have no choice.
They know we've got them.
But almost everything else, they have no idea who's got what.
So they are completely reliant on you self-reporting on yourself and providing the government and law enforcement a list of the guns that you own that are banned because they have no idea.
And then they've been very clear that not only is not every gun owner going to be compensated because the pot is capped at $742 million, but even if you participate, you will be ripped off.
So we had a guy who posted on CGN, which is a, you know, a Canadian firearms forum, you know, like a social media forum.
And he had detailed his experience.
He got beaten up for participating and why'd you do it and whatever.
But to be honest, I'm actually grateful to have his, you know, his take on it, right?
And to see it from the inside.
And he described exactly what happened and how it went, described what the price was listed on the government website.
Okay, here's what you're going to get for what you've got.
He went through the process and he got less than half of that.
He got completely ripped off.
So, you know, at the end of the day, if the goal here truly was that these firearms must be just so dangerous that, you know, us Canadians who've owned them for decades, if not generations, shouldn't own them.
What they would do is they would just be honest and they would say, look, okay, we're going to take these guns, but we're going to provide you proper compensation.
I mean, we don't want it anyways, but that's what they would do.
The fact that it is entirely dependent on you ratting on yourself and providing the government a list of your firearms, they're very clear that not everyone's going to get paid.
In fact, less than 1% of gun owners will get paid.
And those who do get paid will get ripped off.
Like, I don't understand what they're doing here.
I mean, it's the worst PR exercise I've ever seen in my life.
Yeah, we're six years almost into this mess.
And they are, I guess they're trying to create a sense of FOMO, the fear of missing out, because, you know, now your firearms are illegal and we've capped the compensation program.
So you must rush.
You must be the first to turn your firearms in.
And they're taking advantage of people in a horrible economic climate who are hard up for money.
Like you and I were saying before we started recording, you know, of those 16 people who participated in this highly successful buyback program, how many of them are widowers or widows who don't know what to do with these firearms?
They don't have a gun license.
So they don't, they're here, just take them.
I don't want to be a criminal.
And the other people are probably just hard up for cash thanks to how the liberals have mismanaged the economy.
And so they've created this sense of, well, they're going to get me.
They're going to take my guns anyway.
I guess I should maybe be the first to turn them in because when they do take them, I won't be compensated.
It's just a very sinister, manipulative thing the federal government is doing.
Oh, yeah.
During the technical briefing for this pilot program with the public safety officials, my partner at work, Rod Giltaka, actually called it the hunger games for gun owners.
You know, we're going to be clamoring over each other and stepping on each other to try and be the first to sign up in the hopes that you get something, anything at all.
And my message to gun owners is: look, we're all protected by that amnesty, regardless of where you live, until at least the end of October 2026.
And I would assume it will have to be extended again.
They're already floating that they need to have a far longer trial period for this, right?
They're already floating that.
And we know exactly why that is because they know they're not actually going to get it done.
So my message is a lot can change between now and next October.
All kinds of things can happen.
Politics is crazy.
We know that over the last year, if not 10 years.
So, you know, just hold the line a little longer and see what happens.
And don't forget, we're also still waiting to hear back from the Supreme Court if they're going to grant us leave to take our case before them.
So, you know, they say it's not over till the fat lady sings.
And I would agree, it's definitely not over yet.
Well, and I think the liberals have, it's pretty clear they've never actually talked to a gun owner because for so many of us, it isn't about the compensation.
They could pay us, for some of us, they could pay us more than our firearms are worth.
And we still wouldn't turn the darn things in to the state because it's about freedom.
It's about property rights.
And it's about not being scapegoated for the failures of the liberal government to address the crime rates in this country.
Yeah, absolutely.
And, you know, the lies that they're not just telling to gun owners, but the general public sort of lay the groundwork for what this is going to look like.
They are talking about compensating for 152,000 firearms.
We know there's over 97,000 AR-15s alone.
So it's like, what do you mean?
Only 152,000 guns.
And they want people to think that because then when they get maybe, I don't know, 70 or 80,000, they can be like, you know, this was a massive success.
It was a huge 70% update.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
But meanwhile, the true number, you know, we've tried to do a bunch of back work on this.
Rod did some research with a bunch of industry partners and looking, I mean, they've got the records from global affairs.
If they wanted to be honest about that number, they've got it, but it's well over 2 million guns.
So when you think about that, if they end up collecting, let's say, 70,000 guns from people who are afraid, you know, maybe they're AR-15 owners and they turn in their stuff because the government knows they've got them, right?
They'll get their 70,000 guns and call it some sort of, you know, it was sort of successful.
Meanwhile, the true number is well over 2 million guns and it's never going to happen.
You know, we've seen the games the liberals play when dealing with people who know a little something about something.
And I look at this from a journalistic point of view.
When our friend from Caliber Magazine tried to attend a press conference on the issue of the gun grab, he was excluded.
And, you know, you couldn't have somebody there who actually knows something about the issue.
The liberals limit their press conferences exclusively pretty well to the mainstream media.
And there's a reason for that is because they don't generally know anything about anything on this issue.
So they rely on the ignorance of the mainstream media and the ignorance of the liberal voter.
And I mean, ignorance in that you don't know what you're talking about, not that you're just like a stupid person, but you just, you don't have the knowledge.
They rely on that.
It's very predatory.
Oh, it is.
It absolutely is.
And they like having just their preferred media, their legacy media wrapped around them.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if the questions were all pre-vetted, you know, if there's any questions at all.
Normally, it's just, you know, mainstream media stories nowadays are basically just a verbatim repetition of what the minister said, right?
That is a story.
There's no more investigating or whatever.
But we have had a lot of media the last few days on this issue.
But, you know, I, again, I'll circle back to that audio recording from earlier in the year when Gary thought, you know, nobody was listening and he told the truth.
I don't think it will be enforced.
You know, again, unless you give that list to law enforcement or to the government of what firearms you own over and above your AR-15s, they have no idea.
So yeah, they know that.
We know that.
And it'll be interesting to see how this all plays out.
Legislative Divide Over Gun Control00:08:20
You know, more provinces and territories are joining the coalition of defending firearms owners.
We've seen strong moves out of Alberta.
We've seen Saskatchewan get real creative with what you're doing over there.
So offering to store firearms, also creating an agency to license people involved in the gun grab and then not funding that agency, which is just perfectly Scott Moe.
And then, you know, we've seen the Yukon with Curry Dixon saying that he will not be abiding by the federal government's attacks on law-abiding gun owners.
And it's especially egregious to go around snatching guns.
I mean, it is, it's always bad, but in places like Yukon, where there are so many people who are subsistence hunters because of the cost of living.
Yeah.
Well, and it's interesting because you would think that Carney being supposedly this more pragmatic guy, that he would be moving away from these divisive true to arrow policies, right?
And nothing shows the divide more when you've got provinces like Alberta, Saskatchewan, and the Yukon, you know, vehemently opposing it, putting these roadblocks in place, really creative legislative moves to protect their citizens.
Like that should be the number one job of any government is to protect their citizens.
And that's exactly what they're doing.
And then you've got Quebec over here on the other side of me, who's just, you know, willing to sell them out for a lousy 12 million bucks.
And I mean, that number to people like you and I is a huge number.
I can't even begin to imagine what I would do with $12 million.
But to an entire province, that's nothing.
It's peanuts.
And it shows how little their citizens are worth to them.
Right.
And, you know, you've got the in-between provinces where they don't really support the gun grab, but they're not going to put any extreme measures in place to oppose it, like Ontario, where I am.
Judge Ford's been vocal that he doesn't support it, but he hasn't done anything either.
No, no, he's one of those careful fence-setting guys.
He's really loves his majority government and doesn't want to, you know, put any toes in the water that might impact that.
But yeah, you've got almost the entire country stacked up against it.
Law enforcement's been very vocal about not supporting this.
And then on the support side, all you've got is Quebec and the anti-gun lobby groups.
Like, I don't know if it's worth as many votes as they think it is.
I think that gun control sponge has been rung dry and people see the videos of the home invasions and the shootings and all the crazy stuff going on.
And I think the appetite for this stuff is it's over.
Like it's done.
So.
Well, from your lips to God's ears.
Now, I was actually going to bring up the crime in this country because while I love the CCFR Facebook page and your social media accounts, it is many days, a stark accounting of the failure of liberal governments, federal bail laws and progressive cities even to deal with the crime in this country.
Even just this morning, I see on the CCFR Facebook page, a woman killed a man in self-defense in Calgary.
She stabbed him.
No, she, which is basically having to engage in hand-to-hand combat with a man in an apartment house.
Yeah, she was showing.
This is a crazy story, actually.
And I mean, you know, I think it is every woman or every, even every Canadian's worst nightmare to find themselves in that situation.
But this is the second time she was showing this guy the apartment and he attacked her.
And she was able to fend him off with a knife.
And yeah, she killed him.
And I mean, I would never want to be in her shoes.
Like, what a horrific thing to go through.
I can only imagine what is going on in her mind right now.
But you know what?
She's alive.
And that's a lot more than we can say for, unfortunately, a steady stream of video evidence that we've been putting out on our social media.
I, you know, they call us the gun lobby.
And I suppose that's true.
We are.
But at the same time, we're also the public safety lobby.
You know, we're just average Canadians.
I want a safer country.
I want my kids and my grandson to be safe and I want you to be safe.
And I want everybody.
Like I want everybody to win.
So yeah, it's just really frustrating to see the government so solely focused on chasing around legal licensed gun owners who've done nothing to warrant it.
And this stuff's just going on.
And I think, I don't know, I get it.
We are two sides of a coin.
There is a divide between left and right, but there shouldn't be so much a divide between just decency, you know, just decent moral, you know, I want all Canadians to be safe, not just conservatives, right?
So.
Yeah, you know, we've got extortion on the rise, which is, I think, by and large, a gang-related crime in the lower mainland of BC and in Brampton.
And for me, I see the government wasting all these resources on the most law-abiding group of Canadian citizens.
And I think if I were in policing, I would be so frustrated with the amount of resources being spent in the wrong direction while you're catching and releasing criminals on the same day so that they can go out and plague your community again.
Like how demoralizing for our police to see where the federal government is focusing public safety resources.
Well, and I think we saw during the last federal election campaign, you saw a variety of different police unions and police representatives coming out and not just speaking against LaPro policy, but actually endorsing the other side.
And it's again, you know, when you've got all of these different, you know, people and organizations stacking up against the gun grab and wanting real, credible public safety measures, you know, how is it possible that you've got Gary just, you know, stumbling around Parliament Hill, you know, wanting to collect my competition rifle?
Like it would actually be hilarious if it wasn't so freaking tragic, you know?
Yeah.
We've seen these guys not even know the laws that firearms owners have to follow.
Like standing up in the House of Commons and not understanding that, you know, we have to have our conjugal partners, whatever that means, sign off on our gun licenses that, you know, we already have red flag laws in place in this country.
I think if you're going to be the public safety minister, scapegoating an entire population of about two and a half million Canadians, sports shooting is the national sport, if you're looking at the numbers, they should at least have to subject themselves to the RPAL course.
They really should.
Yeah.
I mean, even like when I get it, you know, not everybody knows everything.
You can't be an expert in everything.
So when he got the position as public safety minister, there's an already existing staff within the Department of Public Safety.
And some of them are very talented.
They've been there for a very long time.
They may have even served back in the day under the Harper government.
They know their stuff.
A simple one pager could have gone a long way for him, right?
And to think not only did his department not prepare him with the most basic of knowledge on this topic, he didn't bother to look into it himself.
I mean, you know, I've been working at the CCFR since our inception, but I can remember every job I've ever applied for.
You know, okay, you've got the job.
Great.
You get in there and the very first thing you got to do is learn the ropes, learn the most basic stuff so that you can at least answer simple questions, especially in a workplace like his, where you have a televised question period every single day.
Toronto Sportsman Show Insights00:05:02
Like what it to me, it just shows the unserious nature of this government, extremely partisan, you know, like I get it.
We're not going to agree on all policies, but just so blindly partisan that they are willing, you're right, to completely scapegoat millions of good people who've done nothing to deserve it.
And for what?
Like I, I don't, you know, gun control was not even in the top 25 issues in the last election, but public safety was.
So yeah, I don't know.
Yeah, you would think that you would just brief yourself on your one of your most expensive flagship policies at public safety.
I don't think that's too much to ask of the minister.
Now, I want to, before I let you go, because we've been on her for 22 minutes, although I could talk to you all day.
I know.
I was going to say the same thing.
We could hang out all day and still have lots to talk about.
But I have other things to do and so do you.
I want to talk to you about the Toronto Sportsman Show.
I think it's the 78th year this year.
Tell us about the CCFR's role there.
So we are very proud to once again sponsor the hunting hall.
So if you've ever been to the Toronto Sportsman Show, there's something there for everyone.
It's not just, you know, guns and hunting.
There's five different massive halls filled with all kinds of goodies, hunting, fishing, ATVs, canoes, kayaks, hiking, lots of fun stuff for the kids.
So we sponsor the entire hunting hall and we welcome all the other exhibitors who come and exhibit there.
This year, we've actually partnered with Strikeman and we've got a really cool, very free attraction for all the people who come through the Toronto Sportsman Show.
And that's our crazy CCFR laser range.
So come on by, challenge me to a duel, you know, test the kids' ability.
It's totally free.
We would never dream of charging anybody for it.
It is so much fun.
You can shoot the laser pistols.
We've got laser AR-15s, all the fun stuff, and totally free.
The kids love it.
So yeah, it'll be a lot of fun.
So come on by the Toronto Sportsman Show.
Rod and I will be there throughout the show.
I think he's doing a presentation up on the stage on the Saturday as well.
But yeah, we're just, we're really proud to play a big role at the Toronto Sportsman Show and just continue to support and promote that heritage across the country.
Awesome.
Now, you hinted at the CCFR's legal challenges, fighting on behalf of law-abiding Canadian firearms owners.
That stuff is expensive.
That is expensive and time consuming.
So how do people get involved in the fight?
Well, we can always use the help.
You can find us at ccfr.ca.
And, you know, to be honest, if you're looking just to do a little more than send a few bucks our way, which of course we're always happy to have and we're very grateful.
But if you're looking to volunteer, we're always looking for people to come out, help us out, even at events like the Toronto Sportsman Show.
You want to come out and work the laser range?
There's no better job.
Send an email to volunteer at ccfr.ca.
And of course, stay tuned to, you know, we have a bi-weekly podcast and TV show, CCFR Radio and CCFR Radio on the Air.
It's basically like a quick half hour rundown of everything going on.
So it is very difficult to keep up to date with the ever-changing cycle of news on the gun file.
So a lot of people have come to rely on it.
Like, I just need the truth and I need to know what's going on.
I watch CCFR radio.
So yeah, you can catch us bi-weekly everywhere you listen to your regular podcast.
Yeah, it's an incredible asset, even for somebody like me who has to pay attention to these things in the course of their work.
I'm like, what's Tracy saying about this?
And don't forget, you guys have one of the best merch stores in the business.
Yeah, we do.
Go to ccfr.ca.
You can find the merch shop on there.
We also have an app.
It's totally free to download and it takes you straight into the to the store.
There's all kinds of deals in there.
We've sort of got like a little bargain cave, a discount center in there as well.
Stuff as low as 10 bucks.
So check it out.
We'll be adding more to that as we go.
bookmark that link and just keep going back and checking and yeah all of that goes into the big pot that helps us fuel this machine that is the CCFR.
Awesome.
Tracy, thanks so much for coming on the show and thanks so much for all the hard work you do on behalf of families just like mine.
Thanks for covering it and we will see you soon.
Awesome.
The last portion of the show, I always turn over to you because without you, there's no Rebel News.
I say it every week.
It's probably getting redundant for a bunch of you, but we don't take any money from the federal government and how could we ever hold the federal government to account if we did.
Without Government Funding00:07:29
We would just be repeaters and not reporters.
And that's why I care about what you think about the work that we do.
I do read the comments on YouTube.
I do read the comments over on Rumble, not just on my work, but on all the work that we do at Rebel News.
And I give you my email address right now.
If you've got comments about the show today, put gun show letters in the subject line and send it to me, Sheila at RebelNews.com.
That comes right to me.
And who knows?
You might just see your comments read on air.
So last week I had a good friend of Rebel News, Tom Harris, on the show.
He's from the International Climate Science Coalition Canada.
And we were talking about how all of Canada's climate policy seems to be built on a bed of shifting sand, that the data that they're using to draft these policies, you know, where they say, oh, Canada is warming at two times the global rate, as if you could even tell that.
But everywhere seems to be warming at two times the global rate.
You could just warming at two times the global rate.
Put that into your Google search and see which countries come up.
It's Canada, but it's all of them.
So we can't all be warming at two times the global rate.
It's almost like it's all made up.
Well, Tom and one of his colleagues sort of pointed this out.
And the thing is, the federal government knows this.
They've had this pointed out to them.
They just don't care.
It's almost as though this sort of thing isn't about climate at all, but like wealth transfer and possibly control of everything you do.
You know, not based on science.
Tell me to follow the science and I do.
And they're like, oh, not that science, Sheila.
That's inconvenient.
Well, I got a letter from Peter who says, hi, Sheila, just watched the January 7th show.
Great exposing what BS, the climate change narrative, is, but I feel this is no longer necessary.
Well, I think it is because we're still subject to it in Canada.
So I'm going to keep talking about it as long as we have these horrible policies here.
There's one important point missed entirely that is the great news from the leader of the climate cult, their highest ranking priest, William Gates Jr. himself.
Well, it could be Al Gore too.
So a lot of oracles at Delphi, if you know what I mean, in this cult.
On October 28th, 2025, Bill released an essay entitled Three Tough Truths About Climate, posting it on his own website.
He's done a few interviews saying the same too.
Here's the first sentences of Bill Gates' essay.
There's a doomsday view of climate change that goes like this.
In a few decades, cataclysmic climate change will decimate civilization.
The evidence is all around us.
Just look at all the heat waves and storms caused by rising global temperatures.
Nothing matters more than limiting the rise in temperature.
Fortunately for all of us, this view is wrong.
This is Bill Gates saying this.
Although climate change will have serious consequences, particularly for people in the poorest countries, I'm not so sure about that.
They don't have extreme weather swings, right?
If you're equator, most of the poor countries of the world are equatorial.
So they don't have wild swings between winter and summer like we do.
I mean, we even have wild temperature swings in the winter.
Last week was like minus 30.
Today it's plus six.
There are real challenges.
Like, how do you build a road when you're dealing with like frost heaves with those wild temperature changes?
Anyway, Bill Gates writes: it will not lead to humanity's demise.
People will be able to live and thrive in most places on earth for the foreseeable future.
So the high priest or the highest priest of the climate cult has admitted that there's no cataclysmic climate change.
It will not lead to humanity's demise.
And the doomsday view is wrong.
Terrific news for all.
Yes, it is.
But, and I mean, that's great for the United States.
I mean, Trump has already thought this for a long time.
You can see them totally disconnecting from the climate madness.
But that's not how it is in Canada.
You know, we still have our upstream carbon tax on its way.
To get a pipeline built, we'll have to pay 600% more in upstream industrial carbon taxes, which, of course, get passed along to the consumer in all kinds of different and hidden ways.
And it acts as a scarecrow for international investment here.
Why would you come here and pay an upstream carbon tax to build a pipeline when you could just pay off the local Algerian warlord to get things done?
So that's why I continue to talk about it.
The toughest evidence to refute in a court is a confession.
The essay is a confession of the climate hoax from Bill Gates himself.
What a smoking gun, icing on the cake of the mountain of hard evidence we already have.
So I feel pointing to the confession instead of the evidence, or at least ahead of the evidence, would be far better than the evidence alone.
I like to point out the evidence, though, because it shows how they rejected the evidence.
It's so Orwellian that they deny the things that they see and hear and read, all because they are true, like to some extent, part of a doomsday cult.
The good thing about a doomsday cult is that a lot of people leave after the first, second, and third doomsdays never come.
They sort of leave the cult, but that also leaves the people staying in the cult the most radicalized.
They're really distilled.
Those are the ones that you can't rescue.
Those are the ones who quite literally drink the Kool-Aid in a jungle and 900 of them die.
You know what I mean?
So I feel pointing out the confession instead of the evidence, or at least ahead of the evidence, would be far better than the evidence alone.
The cult members have brushed off the hard data for several decades.
Why would they start listening now?
Well, that's also true.
Far more effective is to have the guru they worship let them down easy, making the truth more palatable.
We won this time.
Why not take Bill Gates' white flag confession for a few victory laps?
Well, we can do all of these things.
Maybe they can move on and dream up the next injustice to pull their blue hair out over.
Anyway, all the best.
Love the rebel, Peter.
Peter, I absolutely see your point.
We should be taking some victory laps, but I just don't think those victory laps are to be had quite yet in Canada.
You know, we have our premier, my premier, here in Alberta talking about emissions targets.
Why?
Why?
I care about real pollution.
I care about particulate, like actual things in the air.
But do I care about CO2?
Not even in the slightest.
I only care about it insofar as it is used as a cudgel to make the rest of us poor and ruin our worst or our best industries.
So I'm not ready.
I do see this as a win in the battle, But I think the war is not quite yet won.
But yes, it is very hopeful.
We've got to get Jeff Bezos to quit funding busybody organizations here in Canada to block pipelines from Alberta because he is.

And I'm going to do a story on that because I don't think a lot of people know it.
So this is your tip, Rebel News subscribers, about what I'm working on next.
Anyway, that's the show for today.
Thank you so much for tuning in.
I'll see everybody back here in the same time and I believe in the same place next week.
