	I was going to do the good evening, but the good evening, I think, translates badly into the audio version of these podcasts because I oftentimes convert the Sunday night streams into podcast format, which you can find on Podbean, Apple, Google thingy things, and Stitcher and a bunch of other stuff.
	Now, I don't want to have the same mistake.
	That I did yesterday and missed the actual vote.
	But for those of you who don't know, the future of Canada, in my humble opinion, at least the next step of the future in Canada, because I thought it's going to go downhill quick if this actually gets past the House of Commons, the vote, which it did, the Emergencies Act declaration.
	The process is that within seven sitting days, the declaration of the Emergencies Act needed to be ratified.
	Both by the House of Commons and the Senate.
	I was stupidly optimistic, naively optimistic.
	I was an idiot in thinking that the members of Parliament at the House of Commons would actually do the right thing and shut this down like the abusive power grab and the unconstitutional flex that it is.
	But lo and behold, yesterday, 185 to 151, pretty much along party lines, the liberals...
	Invoking the Emergencies Act to freeze bank accounts with no due process, seize trucks, sell them with no due process, put people in jail with no bail.
	The liberals.
	This is what it means to be liberal these days.
	I have a feeling in 100 years from now, the term liberal is going to have the same connotation that certain terms today have today, but didn't necessarily at the time.
	Oh, and the so-called New Democratic Party, or the New Dictatorship Party, voted along the lines, Jagmeet Singh, in all his infinite wisdom, in his infinite wisdom, in his argumentation, said that he can't believe the abysmal response by the government to this crisis.
	So let's give the government a raise, right?
	Your response has been terrible, negligent, incompetent, divisive.
	So let's give you all the powers in the world that any supervillain would want to have by granting you the Emergencies Act that you've declared.
	Oh, okay, they're back.
	So let's just go.
	We've got a bunch to talk about.
	The bail, some rumors about YouTube channels being taken down, some rumors about people's bank accounts being seized, and Tamara Lich and Pat King being denied bail.
	Okay, but first...
	Let's bring this in.
	How do I bring up the volume on this?
	Okay, we're going to bring up the volume.
	I can't bring up the volume more than I can bring up the volume.
	The government.
	It's on.
	To my mind, it was not a peaceful tone.
	And as we know, in coots, firearms were found.
	Unrelated to the protest, it wells away.
	Live.
	And downtown Ottawa, they do continue elsewhere.
	And we have all heard of the potential of their popping up in different locations.
	Potential of future protests.
	Tell me if the audio is good.
	I'm going to talk over her.
	If anybody wants to hear this unedited, post the link.
	In which he was visiting.
	And an hour later, a hold and secure advisory Oh, it's just a convenient news article that occurred today.
	There was a shutdown of a shopping mall.
	In downtown Winnipeg has drawn concern of many, including our Concern.
	Now the justification for the Emergencies Act is concern for potential future protests.
	Turn mic.
	Viva for PM.
	Volume is great, Viva.
	Good.
	They want to convert the Emergencies Act into a preventative measure.
	I have had many calls from my neighbors about the anxiety...
	You are way too loud.
	...so the concerns do continue.
	What we have seen transpire in Ottawa since January 28th has morphed in to what I see as a very misguided use of legal right to assembly and indeed it has become a lawless occupation which rendered the many Ottawa citizens who live downtown and in the market...
	No prisoners.
	Prisoners in their homes.
	Maybe.
	Lie.
	Maybe.
	Lie.
	Especially when wearing their masks.
	Lie.
	I have heard of parents in different parts of Ottawa Lie.
	Absolute lies.
	Businesses were shut.
	Millions of dollars were lost.
	And I could go on and we could talk about the other sites as well.
	Millions of dollars were lost because they refused to discuss, dragged this on for three weeks, then brought in the non-military military.
	Lies.
	I want to tell everyone why it's a lie about the harassment for the face masks.
	I've said it before.
	People wearing face masks to cover their faces so they wouldn't be identified for participating.
	Everyone understood that.
	I have concluded that given this unique situation, the act is necessary at this time.
	We have all heard the arguments regarding whether the threshold for implementing the act has been met.
	I believe that threshold has been met.
	Then you have very, very bad judgment, ma 'am.
	...for a very long time after this situation has passed, and indeed we all know there are many such legal arguments playing out as we speak.
	Let's hear it.
	Let's hear it.
	I know, because they don't exist.
	That's what the law is for, not the Emergencies Act.
	...
	fought for and died for by our parents and grandparents in the past and by our military They need to suppress your freedoms to protect your freedoms.
	You didn't do it properly.
	Shame on you, bad protesters.
	You didn't do it the way we told you to.
	I believe that the objectives of the Emergency Measures Act have been adapted to respond to the troubles that confront us today.
	They've been adapted, meaning they're no longer the objectives of the Emergency Measures Act.
	They are targeted to specifically deal with those who occupied our capital.
	Targeted to deal with those who occupied the capital?
	That's what the law is for, not the Emergency Measures Act.
	And therefore for our economy, under the cover of truckers who...
	The vast majority of which are opposed to these troubles.
	I think the truckers can speak for themselves, but that's irrelevant.
	We should be subject to foreign donors funding civil unrest in Canada.
	Unless it's the WEF, then they're fine with that.
	Who are part of this occupation, who have come from beyond our borders.
	And I am very aware of the many American license plates that were here in Ottawa and are currently in the head.
	I didn't notice very many.
	I didn't look specifically.
	I didn't notice very many.
	This, for me, is a basic concept.
	They're using the Emergencies Act to protect sovereignty as if to pretend that people crossing the border to protest is an attack on sovereignty.
	And they're not there anymore, by the way.
	They're gone.
	I don't know, Aidan.
	Colleen, so spreading of disinformation amongst our population regarding public health measures during a pandemic.
	It's taken the lives of so many because their dear leader donated our PPE to China in February.
	80% of the deaths in long-term health care facilities who didn't have the resources to deal with this because of these incompetent people changed irrevocably not to be vaccinated at this point, despite the scientifically proven effectiveness of vaccine is extremely disappointing.
	Emergencies acts, which has been shared online for any variety of unscientific reasons has It results in a new election being called or triggered.
	No easy answer.
	So let's invoke the Emergencies Act to prevent future protests.
	We have come to this point through following public health guidelines, getting vaccinated, staying home when requested to, missing families, Staying home when requested to.
	That's called house arrest, ma 'am.
	That's unconstitutional.
	Staying home when requested to.
	Otherwise you get a $6,000 fine or imprisoned.
	Or hauled off to a quarantine facility.
	It's diluted and delusional.
	This is not the time to shut down trade as the convoy force.
	This is not the time to occupy the nation's They're not doing it anymore.
	This is not the time to make life worse for everyone here, as was done.
	Even if it's as was done, not doing it anymore.
	Emergencies Act does not apply.
	Period.
	Oh, they're not helpful.
	Preoccupying us.
	Can you believe this rubbish?
	Not be divided.
	Those people are putting us all at risk.
	I cannot help but end on this note.
	Thank you to the vast majority of Canadians who followed the guidelines throughout this pandemic.
	Thank you to those who made the sacrifice to get us to where we are now.
	So you want to fire the ones that made the sacrifice?
	Like the truckers.
	Canadians that put their neighbor first.
	Tell me how they put their neighbors first, ma 'am.
	And that's not what the Emergency Act is for.
	The same ones they just fired for choosing what to do with their own body.
	The truckers.
	The same ones who are getting fired for choosing not to do certain things to their body.
	are in debt to you.
	These people call themselves liberals.
	I also want to pay a heartfelt tribute to the police these past days who undertook a complex initiative with care, honesty, transparency, and professionalism.
	I applaud the many forces from various parts of the country which have joined together to make our capital ours again.
	While sad that we need this motion, I am supporting it.
	Yeah, that's because you don't understand what the law was about.
	They want to use this Emergencies Act as a prospective prevention of future possibilities.
	Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
	Who's this?
	Colleagues, as we consider the Emergency Act currently before the Senate...
	Who's this?
	It is clear that the federal government, which invoked the act, and the Parliament of Canada, which is voting on its passage or rejection, was forced into this position by the inaction...
	Interesting.
	Where's this going?
	Does everybody want to listen to this?
	Let me know in the chat.
	We can get into the subject matter or we can listen to this and I can rant and rave like a lunatic.
	Did he go?
	Did you go, sir?
	Someone send him the link to my live streams.
	Don't worry about me.
	Thank you.
	Who have the ability to learn about the police act, who show the ability to grow into the job and responsibility that it entails.
	I hope they elect individuals who are interested in putting in the work to do the job.
	Chat's going too fast, even in 20 seconds slow-mo.
	Yes, we want to listen to it?
	Good.
	Our national capital needs a much improved and substantially more competent city council.
	We don't want another dysfunctional Ottawa city council hurting our country in this position again.
	So they wanted them to crack down harder earlier on a peaceful protest.
	Was there a lack of proper laws resulting in the needs for the Emergency Act?
	Nope.
	Or was there a lack of enforcement of existing laws?
	Yes.
	This guy makes a little sense now.
	The treatment of the protesters here in Ottawa motivated others to take similar actions as blockades and protests started popping up at borders crossings across Canada.
	This guy's sort of going both ways here.
	I had a number of questions.
	Okay, he's voting against.
	First and foremost of which, is the Emergency Act necessary?
	Isn't that special?
	The main question, and the heart of the matter, is the section of the Act that states that to declare an emergency...
	National emergency.
	National emergency for which the resources of the province.
	Okay, this guy sort of gets it, but I disagree with a lot of his other stuff.
	That question may be impossible to answer, at least for the time being, simply because we don't know what we don't know.
	You don't know that you have no loitering laws.
	You don't know that you have no parking laws.
	You don't know that you have no mischief laws already on the books that you could have enforced for three weeks if you thought that was what was going on.
	We're funding in order to generate unrest and divisions in our country.
	The hair looks like the avatar tonight, like really.
	When I worked in the Prime Minister's office, I spent a good deal of time working on national security issues after the September 2001 attack.
	Can you imagine this?
	What laws did they not have that they could have enforced to prevent this if they wanted to end it on day one?
	And what resources did they lack that they required the feds to step in for?
	And better yet, what national emergency was there?
	It's fiction.
	It's political fiction.
	And legal fiction.
	Oh, what a convenient thing that they have to rely on this.
	We'll get to it.
	We'll get to this rumor.
	This fact.
	What's amazing, it's as though they think that in Ottawa or elsewhere, there has never been crime.
	So any crime that occurs during the protest occurs because of the protest.
	The coup's weapons cache was totally unrelated from my understanding.
	And distance.
	Not at the blockade itself.
	These people have got their talking points.
	The silent majority of Canadians followed public health guidelines.
	The silent majority of Canadians worked hard to protect their fellow citizens Okay, which way is this guy going?
	He's really going both ways here.
	Those who have an autoimmune disorder, those for whoever reason cannot receive vaccinations.
	They're thinking of the, won't someone think of the unvaxxed who can't get vaxxed?
	That's their argument now.
	It was all about me, me, me, and to heck with everyone else.
	Thank you.
	The current and ongoing...
	That's a very fair and accurate representation, so you understood exactly what the protest was about.
	The protest was actually about you, you, you, and you Canadians and us Canadians.
	That's what it was about.
	...gratitude to healthcare workers and public health officials who've guided us through this pandemic.
	As I stated, because of the failure of early effective enforcement...
	Traculence on Rumble Rants says transparency equal removing badge numbers and name tapes from officers.
	And Robert, 2091, Viva, from New Jersey and did some research and found two names putting big money in elections in America.
	$410 million there, not from America.
	Their names are...
	I won't dox people.
	Did he say he was supporting it or not?
	I missed that part.
	Did he say he supported it or not, people?
	I'm sorry.
	I totally missed it.
	My goodness.
	We need more than positive advice, but I'll take it.
	Thank you.
	One moment, please.
	She's got a hate symbol behind her.
	This is very dangerous.
	They might freeze her bank accounts.
	How dare she?
	That Canadian flag makes Canadians.
	Sorry, I realize that my microphone had been turned down.
	Very important discussion.
	Good evening.
	As a senator from Manitoba, I realize that I am...
	Hate symbol in the back there.
	Okay, let's get it going here, translator.
	Come on.
	You're on the spot.
	Métis knowledge.
	You notice they have to speak a little bit in French just to show Canada that they're somewhat bilingual, but then they go right back to English.
	I would like to quote La Presse from February 19th.
	There is a right to demonstrate, but not a right to block the heart of the capital and threaten its democratic institutions.
	When do they threaten the democratic institutions and how?
	Police operations.
	Perturbed police operations?
	We were there.
	I documented it.
	There was a lane for any emergency lane open.
	Oh my god.
	All Freedom Conway protests were ostensibly marked by a January 2022 regulation mandating truckers...
	Can you believe this, Robert?
	When were their children put in between?
	When they were on the bouncy castles?
	But the truth is that these protests are less a reaction to this mandate and more a reflection...
	Of the general frustration with the pandemic-related restrictions of the last couple of years.
	She can still go the right way, but my goodness, is this spouting nonsense.
	It has become increasingly apparent that these protests have been appropriated by more radical and politicized voices and elements to the disservice of the majority of protesters and any legitimate debate has been subsumed by polemically divisive...
	Such as?
	I love how they say populism is a bad thing.
	Like, what the people want is bad.
	It's populism versus elitism.
	That's the reality here.
	And the elitist here thinks that the populace doesn't get to get their way and doesn't get to have their voices heard.
	That's what they're saying.
	Put their kids in between.
	Lie.
	I'm not playing the drinking game with a lie because I'll be dead in 10 minutes.
	What's more, even if the government were to immediately lift the federal vaccine mandate for truckers, a parallel U.S. vaccine mandate announced last October...
	How convenient!
	...truckers would still keep them from crossing the border.
	Oh, Emergencies Act, madam.
	This is what we're talking about tonight, not policy discussions.
	...is clearly symbolic rather than central to these protests.
	I'm not slowing chat more than 20 seconds.
	Something else is happening here.
	I think we can all understand and empathize with the high frustration and uncertainty that many Canadians feel regarding the pandemic.
	I don't know that any dogs got seized.
	I don't know that.
	For a fact, I'll have to check that out.
	...who have lost 35,000-plus of their families and friends.
	80% of which were in long-term healthcare facilities that died as a result of your government's negligence, ma 'am.
	Oh, no, no.
	Blame the disease and don't blame your own incompetence.
	And then invoke the Emergencies Act.
	A more profound impact on our lives than we could have ever imagined.
	Be fair?
	You don't know how to be fair and you don't know how to be clear either.
	And perhaps from time to time intrusive, as they have been, have helped keep this country at our COVID death rate at about one-third proportional to the United States.
	Frustration is real, but so too is science.
	And the health policy and litigating for the good, the common good, has been relatively successful.
	Trust the science, by the way.
	As of March 7, no more face masks in schools, in class, but in the hallways.
	I'm allowed back into the big boxers.
	Most of us have participated in demonstrations from time to time.
	I certainly know my kids grew up, from the time they were in strollers, being wheeled into demonstrations.
	Arrest her, freeze her bank accounts.
	Oh, those are peaceful.
	Those demonstrations did not block anybody's right to their life or to healthcare.
	I'm sorry, did she just say that this protest killed people?
	Healthcare?
	Lies, lies, lies.
	Transprudence has clarified that Section 2C guarantees the right to peace.
	Yes.
	Did you go to the protest now?
	Riots or gatherings that seriously disturb the peace.
	They're just liars.
	They're just liars.
	That's true.
	And they got an injunction and it was ceased in virtue of the injunction.
	To balance our rights and freedoms with the rule of law in our democracy.
	I saw that.
	The Emergencies Act was not intended to enforce the charter, ma 'am.
	The Emergencies Act was intended to respond to a national emergency that compromised the integrity of the country for which the provinces lack resources to address it without defence.
	They're going to use the Emergencies Act to enforce the law now.
	Without the oversight of the courts.
	More than 5.9 million people.
	In a Canadian context, 45,000 Canadians died in World War II.
	And more than 35,000 Canadians have died in this pandemic so far, with more dying every day.
	People die, man!
	There's death that occurs on a yearly basis.
	Oh my God!
	This is atrocious.
	I hope people are watching this.
	These people represent us.
	Do you know when anybody says how many people died in the U.S. today from COVID?
	About 8,000 people die a day on average in the United States.
	If everyone's infected with coronavirus because we know that isn't possible, it's been done for the common good.
	It's been done so that health workers can do their work for people among us who need health care.
	We have seen incontrovertible evidence that a combination of medical and technical interventions and equally imperative individual conscious behavioral changes are required to effectively counter this or indeed any pandemic.
	I don't know what you just said.
	The physicians of COVID-related restrictions and health regulations are intended to minimize illness and death They're intended to.
	How is this turning into an advertisement for vaccinations?
	This is about the Emergencies Act.
	My God!
	for someone else to protect their health this is a balancing of rights And privileges and a weighing of responsible and proportionate measures to respond to this crisis.
	And in my opinion, the declaration on February 14 fit within the criteria necessary under the Emergencies Act on February 14. Alberta dropped virtually all health restrictions on July 1st, 2021.
	Science.
	The case is skyrocketing.
	Albertans were dying from COVID-19 at more than three times the Canadian average.
	The province was in crisis because the provincial government did not maintain health restrictions that could...
	Can you believe how they're confounding the debate tonight?
	This is what drives me nuts about law.
	Is when they confound the debate.
	And it gets so far removed from the actual core question that there's no bringing it back.
	We've entered the realm of La La Land.
	This debate has nothing to do with vaccines.
	It has nothing to do with health measures.
	It has to do with whether or not the Emergencies Act declaration was lawfully done, was appropriate, and should be ratified.
	This is really an analog to this current debate.
	Whether the invocation of this Emergencies Act is another form of unreasonable and therefore imposition of limits on our Charter of Freedoms.
	Damn, we just missed that point.
	In my opinion, it does meet that test for proportionality and reasonableness as set out so clearly in the Oaks test by the Supreme Court of Canada.
	Specific to the invocation of the Emergencies Act, I am convinced by the evidence that these protests move beyond Peaceful assembly and the open demonstrations of citizens have been unfortunately hijacked by radical elements that have been using these demonstrations and continue to use fomenting the movement to ferment, infiltrate, spread.
	And move into areas that are potentially far more sinister.
	Let's just even assume she's right.
	Potentiality was not the criteria for invoking the Emergencies Act.
	It was a real emergency.
	Not the potential for anything.
	Real that the province lacks the resources to respond to.
	Real.
	This is atrocious.
	The documented organizational involvement of active and former military, police, as well as individuals known to have deep connections to extremist groups, publicly proclaiming that they want a racial war.
	Publicly proclaiming that if there isn't this kind of insurrection, then, quote, we will all soon be forced to speak Hebrew.
	It's a proximate quote.
	Oh, nothing better than a quote and then an...
	...prepared by Canada's Integrated Terrorism Assessive Centre, ITAC, are pertinent to this discussion.
	They warned in late January that it was likely that extremists were involved and they said that the scale of the protests could yet pose...
	"A trigger point, an opportunity for potential lone actor attackers to conduct a terrorist attack." The protest is over.
	That idiotic prediction never happened anyhow.
	code.
	Terrorism is an act that is committed, quote, in whole or in part with the intention of intimidating the public or a segment of the public regard to its security, including its economic security, or compelling a person, a government or a domestic or an international organization to do what's going on.
	Or to refrain from doing any act.
	By the way, everyone appreciate this.
	All forms of protest are now terrorism.
	Just so you should know.
	Just so you liberals and you unionized workers and anybody else who doesn't like the truckers all form of protest now is officially terrorism by this definition.
	This is extreme individuals and groups.
	It just happened.
	But the apparent level of coordination and integration as reported If this is approved, it will not be rescinded in 30 days.
	I don't know what's going to be left of Canada in 30 days.
	What does she know about the intentions of the original participants?
	And intent of the majority of the protesters.
	This irreparably changed the convoy.
	Something calculated and dangerous.
	Liar!
	Just liars!
	Boldface or whatever it is, liars!
	for only 20 members of parliament and 10 senators to come together for an early end to the use of the declaration under the Emergencies Act.
	This is the end of Canada, by the way, in any meaningful sense.
	You are now living under a government.
	It hasn't been voted on yet.
	It still has to go through the courts.
	Everybody should appreciate, these are the people representing Canadians.
	Organizing leadership of active and former Canadian Armed Forces members, as well as active and former...
	I'm afraid to.
	I'm afraid to.
	Hold on a second, hold on, I want to bring up.
	And how this affected policing decisions and actions.
	Three, the double standard in how the police have responded to the actions of this group compared to a very different use of force and arrests at some Indigenous and climate justice protests, or indeed has been mentioned at the Toronto G20 Summit.
	Lastly, the legitimacy, efficacy, and precision of employing financial seizures as a reasonable alternative to violence or more aggressive, Did she not see the cops meeing them like they were turkeys being softened up for Thanksgiving?
	The threat of police violence is going to be the justification for freezing your bank accounts with no lawful court order.
	Well, at least we didn't beat the crap out of you.
	Can you believe this?
	Oh, the relatively peaceful end?
	Did you see it?
	Excuse me, Senator McFadden.
	Are you just about to wind up?
	Yeah, you just about made everyone's ears bleed with rubbish.
	Thank you.
	Thank you so much.
	With grave concern about extension of the extraordinary powers, I note that the Emergency Act does not suspend civil liberties or charter rights.
	It already has.
	Due process, enjoyment of property, peaceful assembly.
	It already has.
	Saying it has is an idiotic buffoonery of a lie.
	in seven sitting days of cabinet issuing its declaration.
	So in closing, may I just say You have desecrated your country, ma 'am.
	And I will also work with anyone who wishes across all boundaries to gather together the 20 members of parliament and the 10 senators to begin the process of ending these extraordinary powers.
	So I vote for the powers so that I can work to end the powers.
	I vote for the powers so that I can work together to end the powers.
	This is people deciding on whether or not to give themselves a raise.
	That's what's happening right now.
	A raise at the expense of our constitutional rights.
	By the way, you know who's blocking people from living their lives right now?
	The government.
	My goodness.
	It's infuriating.
	infuriating.
	The government has invoked and employed the Emergencies Act on Canadian citizens before it could even be voted on in Parliament.
	Tear gas and batons and lines of police to shove back protesters chanting for freedom.
	And singing the national anthem.
	And saying, we love you, we love you, as the cops detonate stun grenades.
	And even now, with the bridge blockades in Ottawa's protests cleared...
	Nobody's got money!
	Who's got money to go make a run on the banks?
	They spent two years bankrupting Canadians.
	Only that his government plans to make some of the features of those extensive powers permanent.
	The incredible division among Canadians in this moment is largely...
	No, Winnie's back here.
	Winnie's back here.
	Come on.
	Oh!
	Hold on.
	misogynists.
	Prime Minister Trudeau preaches tolerance but says those who chose not to be vaccinated One second.
	and questions, quote, do we tolerate these people?
	And when these Canadians, in many cases, Canadians, Sorry about that.
	Don't tell me to pick up the dog.
	I'm not moving.
	There's a loose plug somewhere in my beautiful studio.
	When I move, I'm not going to bang on the table.
	Am I biased?
	I don't like the Conservatives and I don't trust them any more than I trust the Liberals, but they seem to have their facts straight, they seem to have their understanding of the law straight.
	How is it?
	How is it possible?
	Prime Minister Trudeau boasted, quote, Canada will always be there to defend the right of peaceful protest, quote.
	He also said that we're not a country that makes vaccination mandatory.
	Those people are putting us all at risk.
	Those people, they're putting their children at risk and they're putting our children at risk.
	And then this jacket and he comes out and talks about unity.
	Too late.
	Too late you've done your damage.
	You gave me a black eye.
	Don't tell me you didn't hit me.
	Sorry, what did I just say?
	I've also been fortunate.
	But there are other Canadians who have had a very different experience during this pandemic.
	Yes, I don't want to pick on Pat King.
	I know that he's said things that are what are being taken to justify a lot of this nonsense.
	And there's an argument as to whether or not Pat King co-opted this convoy.
	And unfortunately, when you unify tens of thousands of people, there will be those types of incidents.
	So, yes, it's a problem.
	And people were suggesting that, you know...
	I don't get into the rumors.
	Never mind.
	How can they just make stuff up?
	Who the hell is watching this?
	I don't want to make any generalizations.
	I guarantee you very few liberal and NDP supporters are watching this.
	Don't tell me what to do.
	Okay, I'll try.
	How many are we on Rumble?
	Unbelievable.
	Rubbish.
	7,800 on Rumble.
	Good.
	Yep.
	Not just a power grab.
	It's a perpetual power grab because it's supposed to be preventative now.
	They want to use the Emergencies Act as a preventative measure.
	It was supposed to be a responsive measure to the utmost of national emergencies when the provinces lacked the resources to do it on their own.
	Not preventative for the prospect of potential future protests, which may become violent.
	It's blasphemous.
	It's blasphemous from a legal and constitutional perspective.
	And they're lying.
	To say it.
	Say it.
	I had a front row seat to this conference for the past few weeks.
	And what I can tell you is that what I witnessed of protesters was peaceful, By the way, you didn't need a front row access.
	You didn't need a front window.
	You just needed to check into my stream.
	You just needed to watch and learn.
	And live it.
	This is a fair point.
	I can understand it.
	at night.
	Yes, because that area was never a good area.
	It reminded me of the people I know in Saskatchewan.
	Friendly, hardworking, patriotic Canadians.
	We'll get into the Senate.
	Not composition, but history.
	Soon.
	Happy Hanukkah.
	Dude, it's...
	What month is it?
	It's February.
	Thank you.
	We just saw that up there.
	Certainly nothing offensive, but in the Ottawa media, this was considered controversial.
	Well, the FCK Trudeau flags, those are offensive, fine.
	So be it.
	Deal with it.
	These truckers are our constituents, and that is our job as parliamentarians to hear them out, to engage with those we represent, to listen to their concerns.
	They drove all the way to Ottawa from those Saskatchewan towns.
	Birch Hills is almost 3,000 kilometres, or a 32-hour drive.
	That's exactly what domestic terrorists do.
	They drive 3,000 kilometers to park their car.
	That's the new definition of terrorism, people.
	Enjoy it.
	facing the same situation here in Canada's capital.
	Like so many other situations, what this prime minister sanctimoniously prescribes for others, he refuses to apply for himself.
	To be sure, the Emergencies Act is intense legislation for a government to invoke.
	She's got it.
	Last resort.
	I submit that this Ottawa convoy falls well short of that bar.
	Not well short.
	Not within the same ballpark.
	Precursor, the War Measures Act was invoked.
	It was in relation to World War I. Yeah, the Senate is not elected.
	They're appointed by the Attorney General or the Governor General at the request of the Prime Minister.
	Not Trudeau entirely, but...
	You know, prime ministers.
	They're not elected.
	They're appointed.
	horns that by the way had long since stopped honking by the time this act was invoked to the extent that they're not elected they're appointed by previous prime ministers honorable senators just remember that when this government is long gone and another takes its place of a stripe you may not agree with The Trudeau government has now said this.
	They can't project.
	They cannot empathize.
	Bouncy castles, loud horns, raucous partying, and illegal parking in a four-block radius of downtown Ottawa.
	Nailed it.
	It's annoying, to be sure.
	But is this a national emergency?
	No.
	I mean, I will let her talk.
	...to a protest for three weeks, while the protesters were mere feet from the front door of West Block.
	If the situation were truly such a grave threat to national security that it rose to the level of employing the Emergencies Act, one would expect the federal government...
	would have acted in some way, anyway, to resolve it, but they did not.
	Prime Minister Trudeau simply refuses to meet with protestors, then brought in the Emergencies Act as a first, not a last resort.
	When Deputy Prime Minister Freeland spoke on the issue...
	Carl Dvorak on Rumble says truckers across Canada should organize work slowdowns or boycotts of Ottawa or provinces which persecuted them.
	Avoid occupation but exercise free will.
	Fly the flag of labour rights.
	Thank you.
	It's a $100 rumble.
	Thank you.
	ochre crisis announced that he was engaging the emergencies act he told canadians it would be in a geographically targeted way applicable only to those within the zone specified yet we see in reality the federal government's massive permanent, permanent.
	Permanent.
	Saskatchewan.
	Saskatchewan!
	She's logical and she's fact-based and she's accurate.
	And she understands the law.
	God forbid.
	All good qualities.
	Amnesty International, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, the BC Civil Liberties Association, and even Paul Champ, the lawyer for those who successfully sought the court injunction against the horn honking of the Ottawa protest.
	They all agree this situation didn't require the Emergencies Act.
	By the way, the injunction that blocked the horn honking, they asked for a litany of injunction measures, and they only got the horn honking.
	So that injunction was not a victory for the city against the convoy.
	It was actually kind of a victory of the convoy.
	They also probably agreed to stop honking anyhow.
	This is my tripod.
	So I have a little small tripod that I'm fidgeting with.
	The BCCLA organization has further pointed out that the Emergencies Act should not be a stopgap measure to address the inaction of municipal police forces and provincial authorities.
	To be clear, they stated governments have ample legal authority.
	They had all the laws and all the resources.
	And they got it.
	Many legal experts shared a concern that by invoking the Emergencies Act for the Ottawa protest, the Trudeau government is normalizing the extraordinary law's usage.
	The BCCLA warns that the invocation of the act in this instance sets a dangerous precedent if our elected officials become comfortable with using excessive powers to target dissent in Canada.
	I love her.
	Who is she?
	The Advocates for the Rule of Law, or A or L, agree that this situation sets a dangerous precedent.
	Normalizing declaration of emergencies, especially before other less intrusive but still significant measures have been attempted, threatens to render hollow the rights and freedoms guaranteed to all Canadians.
	It risks a gradual erosion of Parliament's role in favor of executive power, and it amounts to a damning admission of a failure of state capacity.
	But there is some evidence that normalizing emergencies may be the Trudeau government's intention.
	Oh, this is good.
	This is good.
	For all its raucousness and disruption of traffic in downtown Ottawa, can anyone seriously believe this protest was a threat to Canada's national security?
	Some will say it spawned blockades at the Ambassador Bridge, disrupting one of our main trade routes with the United States.
	Resolved by court order.
	and most importantly, without recourse to the emergencies.
	No, with recourse to the courts.
	Both houses of parliament were able to meet for weeks, mere steps away from the protesters.
	Yeah.
	sittings in the West Block in person.
	If there were a true public order emergency, surely none of that would have been allowed to have occurred.
	Honourable Senators, consider all of the moments of crisis in Canada since 1988, and yet the Emergencies Act was not invoked for any of those occasions.
	It's lip, so not chapstick.
	I can't use chapstick.
	In which 25 Canadians were killed, not even during the October 2014 Parliament Hill shooting, None of those situations required the use of the Emergencies Act.
	I fear that with this invocation, we are embarking on a slippery slope away from what Canada is famous for, its unwavering adherence to the principles of freedom and justice.
	These principles are why immigrants from around the world longed to come to Canada.
	That is the reason so many of our ancestors came here, to escape tyranny.
	That is why my grandparents came to Canada from Ukraine 100 years ago.
	This country, this parliamentary system, this Westminster system, was founded out of the rejection of tyranny.
	The Fathers of the Confederation feared not just the tyranny of the monarch, but the tyranny of the majority.
	And we in the Senate are a key part of that system to stand up for the minority, to be their voice.
	It has not been lost on me, nor should it be on any of you, that this building, now the Senate of Canada building, where I deliver this speech today, is the very building where our Charter of Rights and Freedoms was negotiated.
	Think of that history, Honourable Senators, when you consider whether to allow this...
	They're not thinking of anything.
	Anybody who disagrees with her is not thinking about anything.
	She's being polite.
	Considerable.
	The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry.
	Quote, we need to assert ourselves, Honorable Senator.
	This is being put in because the internet in Canada is being shut.
	Okay, not spreading rumors.
	Sorry, I don't know about that.
	Thank you.
	All right, and Patrick Irwin said, Viva, I could not think of anything super significant to say, but does this whole situation not feel like a bad Star Wars prequel plotline?
	Yes.
	I wish all Canadians are able to keep their freedom.
	Thank you, Your Honor.
	Please come live with us Americans if you lose your country.
	I can't find your chat to bring it up, so.
	It is my view that our country is dealing with a public order emergency that unfortunately...
	This man's an idiot and a liar.
	Period.
	Right now.
	Let's hear what he has to say.
	I have an open mind.
	In our history.
	The combination of border blockades, the illegal occupation of the city, let alone our capital, the harassment and threats of violence against residents and journalists.
	And the damage to businesses and our economic security, to say nothing of the explicit end goal of some of toppling our duly elected government, is not normal.
	I'll tell you what's not normal, sir.
	Your understanding of fact and law.
	Who is this person?
	Peter Bohm.
	There were riots during the prescription crisis in both world wars.
	Independent.
	Independent might have not.
	The Onto Ottawa trek of 1935 and the subsequent Regina riot.
	Montreal even saw riots in 1885 over, you guessed it, vaccines, smallpox at the time.
	And of course, there was the October crisis of 1970 and Oka 2028.
	Did you invoke the Emergencies Act during any of that?
	have sometimes turned violent, sometimes pipelines and other projects.
	Some have been associated with major world events that Canada was hosting.
	I dealt with examples of this in my previous career.
	Beginning with the Summit of the Americas in Quebec City in April 2001.
	Protest is a fundamental element of any functional democracy, Canada included.
	It is a right we all hold dear and one that must be protected.
	Here's the problem, though.
	It was no mere protest.
	It was an occupation.
	And it certainly was not peaceful.
	Oh, certainly it was not peaceful.
	Liar.
	Oh my goodness!
	during law enforcement operations in downtown Ottawa.
	Now it's violent even if there's no outright violence.
	We heard of registration terms, including frontline, occupied territory, gaining and losing ground.
	This is usually reserved for dispatches from war zones.
	This is pathological disgusting.
	It's violence in the absence of violence because of words that are used in war.
	I hope this guy doesn't play any video games.
	Yep, now that's pretty much it.
	Silence is violence.
	It's not what you said that was violent.
	But unlike in 1970, the federal government does not have unlimited powers to restore order, and the Canadian military has not been deployed to city council.
	Yeah, no, no.
	I understand.
	Can you believe they're comparing this to the FLQ crisis?
	Where people were kidnapped and murdered?
	Boner?
	Boehner?
	At the time.
	Bower?
	Liar.
	I wish to justify my support for this motion by addressing three areas.
	I'm sorry, I believe the country might be done.
	My personal understanding of freedom and my views as an Ottawa resident.
	First, I accept that the threshold for invocation of the act has been met.
	If what we are dealing with is not a public order emergency...
	I do not know what it is.
	How about a protest or a block party?
	How about kids playing on bouncy castles like the Ottawa Council was complaining about?
	This is fascist manipulation.
	Jobs are at stake.
	Jobs are at stake from the people who just shut down jobs for a year and a half.
	It makes my stomach hurt.
	On the surface was an opposition to vaccine mandates, ostensibly for truckers, that very small percentage that believe vaccine mandates impinge on their freedom.
	The same goes for Ottawa.
	What the blockades and the occupation of Ottawa demonstrate is that the sentiments expressed suggest a national problem, not one confined.
	to a specific region or city.
	City.
	The blockades and occupation of Ottawa, however, are not just about vaccine mandates, if that was ever really the point.
	Groups with deeper grievances, ranging from dissatisfaction with governments generally, particularly at the federal level, an unwillingness to accept the result Oh, there you go.
	Oh, there you go.
	Please, go on.
	Do tell.
	This is psychological torture.
	This is intellectual torture.
	They were prepared to engage.
	...clear in Coutts, where RCMP uncovered as a serving plot to kill officers along with a cage of weapons.
	It's all the cash if you want to actually speak English.
	Let me just see something here.
	I'm going to pull up an article on the cash.
	What is not normal is the blocking of critical infrastructure and building a city and its residents hostage for several weeks.
	Based on their analysis, the Ottawa Police Service and the Ontario Provincial Police concluded they could not bring the occupation to a safe and effective end with their own resources and under their municipal and provincial mandates.
	The immediate situation in Ottawa was largely resolved, according to our police forces, due to the invocation of the Act because it allows for greater police cooperation across the country without swearing in procedures and the time-consuming establishment of other protocols.
	For me, the sobering thought is that such blockades, occupations and demonstrations could recur at any time.
	Oh, there you go.
	Invoking the Emergencies Act to prevent future blockades.
	It means the emergency is over.
	That's what it means.
	Not the danger and what you think.
	It means the emergency is over, which makes your entire opinion invalid.
	Except you're a senator and I'm a dude ranting at a camera on my wall in my basement.
	This is nauseating.
	painful.
	There are serious checks and balances.
	There are no serious checks and balances.
	This is the same government that prorogued Parliament to suspend the investigation into the I would further point out that it would be quite challenging for a minority government to veer into authoritarianism, despite what we have heard from so many critics.
	There was no danger.
	I had never felt safe walking in downtown Ottawa.
	And the homeless people, by the way, had never been better fed.
	Because the truckers did a better job caring for the homeless in Ottawa than the Ottawa government.
	You damn lying hypocrites.
	I was there.
	I don't think this guy was.
	I didn't see this guy.
	14 days.
	13 days I spent talking.
	I never saw this guy.
	I would have remembered his...
	By the way, he looks very tan.
	Even some of the flags were imported from other places and other times.
	He looks very tan like he might have been in Florida.
	Maybe someone wants to check his vacation schedule.
	In my view, neither do upside-down Canadian flags at our side.
	Oh!
	Upside-down Canadian flags is now terrorism, people.
	Demonstrators made their points.
	They complained very loudly and were heard.
	It was impossible not to hear them.
	It was impossible not to hear them.
	That might be the purpose of protest, Mr. Senator.
	It was impossible to ignore them.
	That's kind of the purpose of protest.
	Actually, that's kind of the purpose of your job, is to listen to them.
	Bite my lip, bite my lip, bite my tongue.
	And for the common good of all citizens.
	Surely, in this great country, we have learned throughout our history...
	This country is not so great thanks to what you're doing.
	This country is becoming very not great.
	Specifically because of you, whatever your name is.
	And protect each other.
	This is why we have laws and public health measures and why we pay taxes.
	The social contract we all sign on to...
	You broke that social contract, sir.
	...and residence in Canada is not rendered void because some people do not like it.
	That is also why we have the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, an important document that more Canadians should read.
	Oh, I've read it.
	Have you read it?
	Ask him.
	Someone in the damn crowd, ask him what the first provision says.
	This is outrageous.
	Colleagues, Canada has come through this latest pandemic with one of the highest vaccination rates in the world and one of the lowest COVID-related death rates.
	Why?
	Because Canadians...
	I don't know what that is.
	I don't think I can lend that.
	I'll lend that.
	Share that.
	Yes, there were some coordination issues, especially in the first dark days, but they were largely overcome.
	And those who did not and still do not wish to be vaccinated made their choice.
	In Canada, our mission since 1867 has been peace, order, and good government.
	And while you fail to the last, you've fulfilled the goals of that ongoing project.
	It is part of what Canada is known for in the international community.
	In my previous career, it was part of my job in the service of both conservative and political governments to promote and defend human rights and freedom in the world.
	In aggravation, blown fluid up through my nostrils.
	Let's hear his anecdote.
	I took a taxi down the deserted highway to the capital.
	Fact check this story, people.
	And was soon pulled over by a military platoon asking for my credentials.
	Yep.
	Surprise was expressed that I did not have a security detail.
	Maybe after all.
	But then the commanding officer said that everyone...
	You're so funny.
	That's fantastic.
	By the way, he told me, my sister lives in Toronto.
	I was warned to be careful because there were reports of a unit of the Farabundo Martí Nacional Liberation Front.
	That's a good question.
	I was asked to pose for a photo with the group, which the leader said he would send to his sister who was living in freedom in Vancouver.
	He then said we should be very careful because there was an army column nearby.
	The driver and I just looked at each other.
	But you know what the problem is?
	I don't believe the damn word this guy is saying.
	Based on his lies and misrepresentation of Ottawa, I don't believe his understanding of what happened to him 40 years ago.
	I don't believe this.
	Not one word.
	This will continue, despite the concerted efforts of many to besmirch, denigrate, fundraise, or even derive partisan political gain from the word freedom.
	Colleagues, I'm a resident of Ottawa.
	And for the past few weeks, I've walked to work every day.
	Oh, did you get harassed?
	It was the easiest way for me to get here.
	Did you get harassed?
	Did you get harassed?
	From the moment I would open my front door at home to arriving at my office 40 minutes later, I heard the truck horns, usually in one continuous blast.
	Okay.
	I have walked past shuttered businesses, past the closed Rideau Centre, the sixth largest mall in Canada.
	Was that because of the convoy or because of you?
	Fumes emanating from illegally parked idling trucks downtown.
	Oh, fumes?
	Fumes from illegally parked trucks is the new threshold for the Emergency Act.
	Enjoy your new Canada.
	But I personally saw, from a distance, demonstrators carry out a racist and deeply offensive parody of an Indigenous ceremony.
	That might have been indigenous people carrying out a ceremony.
	Big Bear or Big Bull.
	I interviewed them.
	Oh my God.
	Oh my God.
	And also asking us in many instances to bring down the government.
	Can you imagine if this idiot actually thinks that a racist replication of an indigenous ceremony was an actual indigenous ceremony like they did in Confederation Park and I was there to interview them?
	I am too.
	This guy, this, oh my god.
	I'm sorry, I don't like using, I don't, I don't.
	I'm not religious, I apologize for using the Lord.
	I apologize.
	No one, no one.
	No, they haven't.
	Lie.
	And that makes you a liar.
	This person right here, I don't know what his name is, is a liar.
	Jesus, it's not like Ottawa had a homeless problem before this.
	Do you know that, first of all, they brought in porta-potties, so this guy's a flagrant liar.
	Did you know that Ottawa has three safe needle centers?
	Did you know that Ottawa had a bit of a homeless problem before this, and they were displaced from the Ottawa Corps because of the convoy?
	They brought in porta-potties.
	And these truckers, by the way, they live in their trucks on an ordinary basis.
	They know how to pee in a bottle and do the duty where they need to.
	This guy's a pathological liar.
	Period.
	End of it.
	But by the way, nonetheless, he still walked to work every day.
	Still walked to work every day.
	40 minutes.
	It was so dangerous in such a national emergency, this member of parliament walked without security.
	Nothing like El Salvador.
	This guy walked to the office every day.
	Such a national emergency.
	These people are an absolute national disgrace.
	The use of the Federal Emergencies Act and the long-term implications of doing so on our national psyche makes that clear.
	We know there are people across the country who see Ottowans as entitled and who did not want the convoy to leave the city.
	People who are happy to show their explicit support.
	I know.
	I'm looking.
	I used to wonder how people went along with it and got away with the propaganda in places like USSR.
	These last few years have been a sobering lesson.
	...and the blockades across the country who need to reflect.
	Every single Canadian must.
	How we respond in this moment will have effects not just now, but into the future.
	This is not just a debate on the use of the Emergencies Act in this specific situation.
	It is a debate on what we want this great country of ours to stand for.
	Thank you.
	Senator Lankin, there's 35 seconds left.
	I don't know if you'll get a chance to answer this, but your role in the Summit of the Americas as well as your knowledge of the G20 and G7 meetings have been referenced as examples.
	Where we were able to coordinate police resources.
	How many months of planning went into that?
	How much time was there to actually deputize police?
	One year.
	Thank you.
	Resuming debate, Senator Pate.
	Speaker, I also rise as someone who has the privilege and responsibility of living and working in the unceded, unsurrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabek.
	Colleagues, all indication is that the urgent situation of the past weeks could have been prevented.
	The occupation of the streets of Ottawa did not begin as an emergency.
	It became an emergency.
	misogyny including among law enforcement as well as apparent feelings of overdue reckoning and unification Many of whom have experienced victimization, criminalization, and institutionalization by those same state authorities.
	While many of us were stopped and questioned on the road, trucks were permitted to roll in and lay siege to the nation's capital.
	This even though public authorities had advanced intelligence of the involvement of violent extremists.
	It is clear white supremacist populist, racist, xenophobic, discriminatory objectives fill the hearts and minds of key organizers.
	And those who bankrolled and emboldened them to promote hatred.
	I'm Jewish.
	I donated to the convoy.
	I interviewed a transgender individual.
	I interviewed multiple members of the gay community.
	I interviewed multiple indigenous members.
	I interviewed black people, Kuwaitis, Romanians, Russians.
	I am beyond heartbroken.
	Yeah, you feel heartbroken.
	That communities and families are being pitted against each other.
	Well, that's thanks to you.
	That people I know and love are among those here across the country and in other nations.
	Look, if you guys enjoy watching this, I'll continue raging.
	This is absolutely nauseating and vomiting.
	Social systems think they have found common cause.
	These emergency measures may end the blockades They're over the blockades and the occupations.
	It's over!
	and exacerbated.
	If we actually hope to end and prevent such insurrection, we must crucially work to ensure that the most dispossessed and marginalized are not.
	So the Emergency Act now is for equality.
	fairness and justice for all.
	Years before Parliament Hill became my workplace, on the center block protest grounds and beyond, I organized and participated in countless demonstrations and protests aimed to disrupt and raise concerns about inequities and grievances from anti-poverty, anti-war, pro-choice, anti-racism, anti-violence against women, support for missing and murdered Indigenous women, anti-heterosexist, anti-facidist,
	What the hell is she talking about?
	Seriously, what is she talking about?
	Just throw words out there.
	I know, verbal diarrhea is what you have right now.
	That's why stuff is coming out and you don't even know what's coming out of it.
	The purpose is to create action.
	Unlike this occupation, prior to the wielding of the legal sledgehammer of the Emergencies Act, the full force of the law was often swiftly employed to subdue, suppress, and squash.
	lawful and peaceful protest.
	It certainly was not the norm to have law enforcement and conservative interests joining, posing for group photos There you go.
	Take him down.
	Take him down.
	Arrest all of them.
	Freeze Poilievre's bank account.
	Let's see that happen.
	You drove to your office?
	By whom?
	Who was she stopped and questioned by?
	She was stopped by police.
	...integrated terrorist assessment center warned the federal government days before the siege that violent extremist groups were deeply involved and that the scale of the protests would be a trigger point and opportunity for potential lone actor attackers.
	One of your colleagues said that never happened.
	Seriously.
	Never happens.
	So that makes you a liar.
	People trying to survive in encampments, indigenous people protecting their lands and waters.
	Black Lives Matter protesters, women, environmentalists, striking workers, and countless others have too often faced state use of force and even brutality and violence when exercising their rights.
	So all that she's angry about is that they didn't use the same brutality on them.
	Any of these groups being permitted by law enforcement to drive multiple vehicles, much less 18-wheelers on the parliament hill.
	Well, don't worry about it.
	It's never going to happen again.
	So you've also throttled indigenous rights protests.
	Good for you.
	You just sent your people back 100 years by this.
	Because no one's ever going to be able to protest Indigenous rights again.
	There will be no more Indigenous protests thanks to what you're doing right now.
	Enjoy it.
	This staff, after advising Ottawa residents seeking assistance, that they could not intervene, that people should shelter and hold, remove their masks when challenged by occupiers, or consider temporarily leaving their homes in the downtown area.
	Can you hear me now?
	Gosh darn it, I've been spewing gems for the last 30 seconds.
	Including being asked if you don't move, how does this end?
	Let me get to the bottom.
	Can you hear me now?
	Fixed, yes.
	This woman just ended all indigenous protests.
	Good for you.
	Be careful what you wish for.
	Oh, she was saying that if it had been an indigenous protest, it would have been ended with violence.
	So her anger is that this was allowed to continue.
	Be careful what you wish for, ma 'am, because you've just ended indigenous right to protest.
	You know what the funny thing is?
	When they protest up my street, I didn't care.
	I couldn't move my car for one, two days.
	In fact, I moved it.
	No, I don't know what happened.
	I couldn't move the car.
	I didn't care.
	When they blockaded the CNA rail, I was like, okay, you get a court order.
	Get a court order and enforce it.
	You've just ended indigenous rights of the protest.
	Good for you.
	Be careful what you wish for.
	And then the lies.
	There are lies.
	There are lies.
	amongst the organizers, funders, and occupation participants.
	Meanwhile, people living on the streets, people living below the party line, African Canadians and other racialized people, those living with disabilities and members of the 2SLGBTQ community have disproportionately borne the consequences of the occupation.
	Lies.
	Lies, lies, lies.
	I was there.
	They were well fed.
	They were happy.
	They were among the crowd.
	They were getting warped.
	And they were, above all else, they were getting companionship because the protesters were talking to them.
	Oh my god, this is a liar.
	This is an absolute outrage.
	I'm saying the word liar too much.
	The homeless in Ottawa have never been treated better than during this protest.
	They were fed, they were sheltered, they were actually interacted with, like, humans.
	And I'll tell you one thing.
	I'm ignoring it.
	Hold on a second.
	Do you still hear?
	I still hear her.
	I'll bring her back in.
	No, I'm taking her back out.
	No, bring it back.
	When I walked up the street, there was a homeless person encamped on the corner of the street.
	And I was nervous that there was someone in a sleeping bag that no one had looked at in a matter of time.
	And I went back during the live stream to make sure no one was in a sleeping bag and unwell.
	This is the most disgusting thing I've ever heard in my life.
	Because this is the future of a country.
	They are maligning a people.
	So destroy a country.
	And this woman, she just said she's going to have a good, firm seat.
	She's going to be enjoying the seat like that guy in the Matrix.
	She'll enjoy her last good meal while everyone else burns because of her filthy lives.
	This is outrageous.
	Across Canada, the number of visitors to one of every four food banks doubled last year.
	You think the truckers came to steal from the food banks?
	And I've talked to people who said that those tweets from the food banks and the truckers stealing were lies.
	These feelings of deprivation and abandonment were further intensified by the government refusal to dialogue, much less acknowledge an attempt to understand the feelings and real concerns expressed by many ordinary people from across the country who are struggling to get by.
	The government knew that protesters were coming to Ottawa, yet no attempt was made to intercept or address the issues being raised.
	While we certainly saw instances of extremism, racism, anti-Semitism, and misogyny here on the Hill, we should be calling all who oppose vaccine mandates racist and misogynist instead of trying to meaningfully understand and address underlying fears, anxiety, and frustration.
	You just did that!
	BBC recently reported the story of a man from Saskatchewan, a farmer and father of two, who took part in a blockade of his provincial legislature.
	A volunteer firefighter, his mental health suffered after being a first responder to the bus crash that claimed the lives of members of the Humboldt Broncos hockey team.
	When a workers' compensation board denied him income supports, he reported that he really quit trusting other people to make decisions on his behalf.
	During the pandemic, he opted not to vaccinate himself or his two children.
	She's so nervous right now because she's spouting lies and she can't even read them straight.
	Okay, so what happened?
	So what happened?
	they were dirty.
	He acknowledged that some involved in the protests were extremists, but many were ordinary hard-working people.
	He has heard reports of occupiers in Ottawa harassing a homeless shelter and displaying Confederate flags and swastikas, but doesn't trust the media and believes such stories are fabricated.
	As highlighted by the work of the African Canadian Senators Group and the Parliamentary Black Caucus and our Indigenous colleagues, despite frequent references to truckers and vaccine mandates, the organizers of the occupation are not tied to the trucking industry.
	They are linked to organizations espousing extremism, anti-democratic values, violence, and white supremacy.
	There's only one person I can think of that might fit that bill.
	The emergency measures we are debating will not end people's sense of disenfranchisement, distrust, and anger.
	Indeed, they run the risk of further eroding trust in government by stigmatizing and further isolating I'm confused.
	Is she going to vote for this or not?
	I don't understand which way she's going.
	It makes no sense, Adriel.
	No sense.

	We should reflect on the importance of respecting our human rights to ensure both our safety...
	Which way is she going?
	Please hurry up and get some fire.
	Why is she wearing a mask?
	I'm not trying to shame her.
	COVID-19 reminds us that none of us will be okay until all of us are okay.
	Safe bearing our health and well-being in this pandemic and beyond is necessary a collective and inclusive, not an individual, endeavor.
	We cannot hope to protect ourselves from the effects of COVID if those around us lack the financial means and supports to similarly ensure their safety and well-being.
	Likewise, we cannot hope to counter disenfranchisement and division.
	What is she talking about?
	The processing man from Saskatchewan, despite his distrust of the media, shared his story with CBC saying that, quote, "he believes more communication I'll say dribbling, dribbling.
	And he wants us all to be friends after this pandemic is said and done.
	This is a goal I believe most Canadians share.

	We need to build an inclusive Canada.
	Thank you, colleagues.

	Merci.
	What's your vote?
	What was your vote?
	For goodness sake, you're voting on the emergency.
	Senator Carter?
	I'm going to barf.
	I'm going to barf.
	Does anyone know which way she voted?
	I want to begin by thanking colleagues for their deep and thoughtful remarks in this debate, even when we disagree.
	I'm going to be speaking in support of the declaration, and I want to speak to three aspects of the issue.
	The first is personal, the second I would call decisional, and the third institutional.
	The first is irrelevant.
	The personal.
	In the fall of 1970, I was in my final year at business school in Saskatoon.
	On a Saturday evening, I attended a party at somebody's house.
	As I arrived at the party, there were a group of six or eight young men, nearly all of them business school classmates.
	Track this guy down.
	Track his history down.
	What did he do at that party?
	I'm smelling a Kavanaugh party here.
	The business school group was supported by the Inquisition of the War Measures Act.
	This is a verbal diarrhea.
	A few rights got trampled on the process, a small price to pay.
	One other person was a law student.
	He patiently made his case to the effect that people were more than the sum of their economic parts, that they are sentient beings with rights and obligations.
	By the way, sentient beings is a term that they use for animals, not for humans, because no one has ever denied that humans were sentient beings.
	This man is a racist, discriminatory man who actually has to qualify humans as being sentient beings based on their race.
	Let's see where he goes.
	Let's see where he goes.
	Humans are sentient beings by definition.
	Animals are not.
	The influence of that law student, Henry Kloppenberg, now a brilliant, principled, courageous, and somewhat eccentric Saskatoon lawyer, set me on a career path that brings me to this moment and probably the most important decision today And you made the wrong one, so may you live forever with this decision.
	I won't speak about Charter of Rights issues, but I would associate myself with the remarks of others, including Senator McFadden.
	I won't speak about those.
	Pesky charter of right issues.
	I think it is important to remove from consideration in our discussion and decision the argument that if something had been done earlier and better, we wouldn't be in this fix.
	And therefore, we are entitled to withhold probation of the emergency declaration.
	I agree that various actions by various actors could have been averted and moderated this crisis.
	But that is not the test today.
	It is, having gotten to where we are, is this declaration a reasonable course to be taken?
	Here's another way of looking at it.
	Yes, I think it is.
	Apparently my microphone is muted.
	In 1919 or 1935 or early in 1939 might have averted World War II.
	Well, tragically, they weren't.
	But can you imagine if we were exercising this emergency power in 1939, we would have said that because somebody else did a lousy job of averting war early.
	Can you imagine this guy just invoked the Holocaust analogy to justify invoking the Emergencies Act?
	He's saying, if we don't do this, we might have a Holocaust.
	Understand what this guy just said right now.
	If we don't invoke the emergency threat, we might have a Holocaust.
	And by the way, distinguished constitutional law expert, Professor Wayne McKay, to advise me.
	He's a professor emeritus at Sherlock School of Law at Dalhousie in Halifax.
	In so doing, he identified 12 features Some of this conduct could unquestionably have been addressed using existing powers, but much of it, particularly in Ottawa, could not have been achieved, certainly not without much more serious adverse consequences than actually occurred.
	And that's important.
	If we don't know how long this goes on for, or if this goes on for hours, do we break out of this, talk about some subject matter, and then come back to this?
	How do we do this with the chat?
	One.
	If you want us to talk about other issues and then come back to this, put in one.
	If you want to listen to this diarrhea and with me ranting, put in two.
	And then we'll do it.
	Go.
	Stop, one.
	Continue with the diarrhea, two.
	Wait, stop the diarrhea.
	Corners of that protest, some dark corners, to actually leverage the removal of the government One has removed his diary from our faces.
	Exactly.
	Where was this illegal occupation occurring?
	Within meters of the beating heart of our national democracy.
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	My stomach hurts.
	So I know now that nobody is hearing or seeing this.
	Do we listen to the debate?
	Or do we at the very least address a couple of...
	Let's address a couple of issues because we're not going to have a vote for a while.
	No, no, it's a nightmare that won't stop.
	And I actually...
	I don't think I can listen to it anymore.
	I'm open-minded.
	I've heard both sides now because it's just regurgitating diarrhea.
	Hold on.
	How do we do a fresh restart?
	Yeah, there's no point.
	I can't do it.
	I won't say what I'm thinking right now.
	I'm going to take a deep breath.
	We might be doomed.
	Let's just start with one rumor.
	My sweet, merciful good God.
	Can we believe this?
	An hour and 23 minutes into this, we haven't gotten to the meaningful stuff.
	We've listened to verbal diarrhea.
	They're not elected.
	These people are career politicians, but they were appointed.
	And they were appointed by prime ministers.
	And this is the best and the brightest to represent 36 million people.
	Do not...
	Without exception, without qualification, make recommendations for violence in the chat.
	Please.
	If I see it, I don't block very much.
	I block that.
	Do we start with the defamation from W5 or do we start with...
	Let's start with rumors.
	Let's start with one rumor.
	Oh my god, I actually genuinely feel sick.
	Here's two rumors that we have to address.
	The first rumor is that...
	YouTube channels who broadcast live streams from the Ottawa protests are being forced to shut down, make their videos private, under a penalty of whatever.
	So here's the first thing.
	I'm a vault, and I know stuff that I know that I know that people cannot know that I know, and no one will ever know that I know the stuff that I know that I know that they cannot know that I know.
	I will never divulge it.
	If someone says, I don't want you to divulge it, you will never even know that I have that knowledge.
	And I have it.
	And it burns a hole in my brain.
	There are rumors about people having to shut down or make private videos of YouTube live streams under penalty of whatever.
	To this, I can only say one thing.
	I have had all of my live streams, all of the live streams that were demonetized initially, re-monetized by YouTube after manual review.
	So they were not all...
	I was at one point demonetized that I had to request a manual review, but a lot of them were.
	And I would say a lot of them is in like 8 of 10, if not 9 of 10. If not all of them, I asked for manual review.
	They were all approved after manual review.
	The live streams, the unedited live streams.
	It might be because my channel has goodwill with YouTube.
	I've shown that I have quality content without breaking the rules, without spreading misinformation.
	So I might have more...
	I don't know that that's the case, but it's possible.
	All that I can say is that my live streams, all of them, that have been demonetized have been manually approved after manual review.
	So when people are saying they're shutting down channels, I'm not skeptical.
	I'm just saying there might be facts that are unique to those situations that might explain that description of events.
	The dude, Mr. Sunshine, I don't know anything.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	And so there might be unique facts to that.
	Zot is making videos private.
	I don't know.
	And it's his decision.
	There may be fear, irrational fear, fear of rumors, or just, you know, covering your butt.
	You got the views, and there's no point having it up just in case.
	My philosophy, by the way, on this, deleting something if you did something wrong does nothing.
	Because someone out there got the clip.
	And deleting it is not going to erase your mistake.
	It might actually just compound your guilt.
	Deleting something when you did nothing wrong deletes the evidence that you did nothing wrong.
	So I don't delete videos even if I think it might be a problem, but it's never been a problem.
	I did not delete my Alex Jones deposition video.
	I left it.
	I appealed it.
	My appeal was rejected, but then YouTube had a second thought for whatever the reason.
	So deleting a video if you've done something wrong, by the time you have to delete it, that's not going to do anything.
	The damage is done.
	Deleting a video when you've done nothing wrong, you might actually be deleting exculpatory evidence.
	So that's my own personal opinion.
	Hashtag not legal advice.
	So people who might be deleting their things, fine.
	There's a big caveat to this.
	I made one video private.
	It's subject to a copyright dispute.
	And another issue, and that's why it's private, and I'll make it public one way or the other after the copyright dispute is resolved.
	But other than that, no flag, no nothing.
	It was actually monetized.
	It was just, there's a copyright dispute, and I want to resolve a legal question among other issues.
	So people saying I've been pressured to remove a video, unless you know the details, and I don't, I make no comment.
	All that I'm saying is that my videos, all of the streams, We're initially demonetized.
	And on my way home from Ottawa, I would pull over at the exact same parking spot every day.
	One, I'd go down O 'Connor, I would turn left on whatever street that was, pull into a parking lot, request manual review, and usually by the time I got home, the video was approved for monetization.
	So I'm not worried that the government is saying, take down your videos or we're going to sanction you.
	Because YouTube has already confirmed to me...
	By virtue of my requesting manual review, and they're confirming it on manual review, then I'm good.
	If the government wants to say, we want your video off despite that, for whatever the reason, do it, and we'll have a political Streisand effect.
	So, rumors aside, yeah, no, no, Zot made 10, I don't care, Zot made the, whether or not it's true, he might have done it out of fear, he might have done it out of precaution, and good for him.
	It's not my decision.
	Private is not deleted.
	Private is still there just in case you need the evidence.
	But I think it does nothing.
	So do not buy into the rumors.
	I know that they're out there.
	Forget the fear.
	Forget the rumors.
	Forget the hyperbole.
	That's my expression.
	That's not my expression.
	That's my experience.
	I'm not worried about it.
	I have no doubt that the government of Canada would like to pull the live streams down because they don't promote the narrative that they would like to be promoted.
	But if they do that...
	They then have to pull down CBC, Global News, CTV, live streams as well.
	You could go for the accredited news sources versus not accredited.
	That might have relevance in terms of access to locations, facilities, events.
	That, as far as I appreciate it, does not have relevance on YouTube.
	Especially since I'm not accredited, but all of my live streams have been re-monetized after manual review on YouTube.
	So if the government has an issue, they'll take it up with YouTube.
	But if YouTube makes me take down a video that they have confirmed is okay, we'll have an issue.
	I might have an issue with YouTube.
	YouTube might have a recourse against the government, but whatever.
	So that's one rumor.
	Don't believe it?
	Just be skeptical and be weary.
	The second...
	More talky-talky.
	How do I bring up the volume?
	I muted it because it was making my stomach hurt.
	I'll bring it back up in a sec.
	The second rumor is that people's bank accounts have been frozen by virtue of having donated.
	Now, you know what?
	Hold on.
	So they're still debating.
	Paul is a senator, independent.
	Do we want to hear this?
	In the chat, people, do we want to go back and have our ears poisoned with diarrhea?
	One for yes, two for no.
	One, I want diarrhea in my ears.
	Two, I would like my ears to remain diarrhea-free.
	Let's see.
	One or two.
	One, yes, diarrhea.
	Two, no diarrhea.
	It is too close to call.
	Thus, four.
	We'll give her 30 seconds and the benefit of the doubt, hold on.
	Police had exhausted all options and needed emergency federal assistance to, quote, mitigate risks of potential.
	30 seconds uninterrupted.
	And those risks were real enough.
	We're done.
	Ma 'am, you've abused of your goodwill with me.
	You are done.
	I will go back to the stream.
	I will take you out of the stream.
	I will take you out of the stream.
	You have violated...
	You had 30 seconds.
	Done.
	Okay, second rumor is that people are having their bank accounts frozen solely, and this is the exquisitely important caveat, solely by having donated to the convoy.
	Just wow.
	Can you believe it?
	We gave her 30 seconds.
	She didn't even need two.
	About donations, rumor.
	So here we go.
	I'm going to pull up not the verbal diarrhea that gives us...
	Oh, I just pulled that out.
	So, hold on a second.
	Share.
	Share screen.
	Chrome tab.
	I know I pulled it up here.
	It was the politician.
	Here we go.
	Okay.
	So, this is the only...
	Let me just see.
	I can't see myself in this anymore.
	Hold on a second.
	I'm sorry.
	Here we go.
	So, Breanne is a single...
	So, now I'm going to go back.
	This is from a conservative MP.
	And by the way, I want everyone to appreciate this.
	I don't trust conservative MPs any more than I trust liberal MPs.
	I might have my differing preconceived notions about whatever foibles they might have as conservative versus liberal.
	I do not believe a conservative just because he's a conservative.
	And it's not a question of, I want to believe.
	I want to know.
	I don't want to believe.
	I want to know.
	So unless you're going to provide the evidence...
	You might actually be better off not speaking as opposed to saying, okay, here we go.
	Breanne is a single mom from Chilliwack.
	It's a very sad sob story and it got me when I started reading it.
	Working a minimum wage job.
	She gave $50 to the convoy when it was 100% legal.
	I'm going to get to this point in a second.
	She hasn't participated in any other way.
	That's a factual dispute or factual claim that only two people know about.
	Maybe three.
	This guy tweeting, her who participated, or the government.
	Her bank account has now been frozen.
	This is who Justin Trudeau is actually targeting with his emergency doors.
	This is where it gets interesting.
	This is Mark Stroud.
	Hold on, let me just, let me just, uh, husband, father, Chilliwack, born and raised, member of parliament, Chilliwack, and he's, he's conservative.
	I don't see it here, but first of all, that's...
	That's a good action banner.
	If you want a banner, that's a good banner.
	Here he says, To those of you,
	especially the media, demanding more details on Breanne, having seen what has been said about her online today and what has been done to other convoy donors in the last weeks, I am not going to help you dox her.
	First of all, she's on the list.
	She's already doxed.
	I know who she is and I won't say...
	Good.
	Fine.
	And so here's my issue.
	Let me just bring that out.
	Let me bring that out.
	And let me bring...
	Someone's texting me.
	Someone says we're overdue for dinner.
	Now is not the best time.
	Mike, I will see you in a bit, but hold on.
	So, I may like that guy.
	I may want that to be true.
	Here's my issue.
	I do trust the aggregate knowledge of the internet, for good or for bad.
	And there were people responding to that tweet saying, we've got the list of Doc's donors.
	Nobody by that name out of Chilliwack made that donation.
	In fact, nobody by that name out of Chilliwack made any donation.
	In fact, nobody out of Chilliwack apparently made a donation, but I don't want to oversell it.
	Hold on.
	Someone just said I'm being obtuse.
	Let me just pull it up so I can show you that I can take an insult.
	Fine.
	But your name is actually Spambot.
	So now I might be thinking.
	I don't care if he's lying.
	He might be mistaken.
	This is the problem.
	He might be mistaken.
	So this is the deal.
	I don't care if it's a conservative telling me what I want to hear.
	I need evidence and I need to understand that what they're saying is true.
	They can be the CBC and they could be telling the truth even though I think they're liars.
	And they could be conservatives.
	Even though I think they're liars, tell me what I want to hear even though it might not be true.
	You provide the evidence for that claim or it doesn't exist.
	And now this is what I understand because Chrystia Freeland may be a number of things.
	She might be the granddaughter of a Nazi sympathizer.
	She might be the granddaughter of a Nazi supporter.
	She might be a lot of things.
	She might be a member of the WEF, which she is.
	When she says we've frozen 206 bank accounts and they consist of...
	Organizers of the protest and those who parked their vehicles on Wellington.
	I think that's absurd, obscene, over-the-top, egregious, unconstitutional, un-Canadian, and offensive.
	I believe all of that.
	But I might still say, okay, fine.
	I will believe your statement nonetheless.
	So when this guy, I forget his name now and I can't see it, says, I've seen this woman.
	She says I had no other involvement.
	If she so much as parked her car on Wellington at any point in three weeks, not that it justifies it, but it explains it.
	And so if this guy's saying, I'm not giving you other information, I don't want the internet doing their due diligence, although the internet did their due diligence, I'm suspicious, I'm skeptical, and I will treat it with the requisite degree of skepticism that I believe it deserves.
	She's still talking.
	I can't believe it.
	Are we sharing the screen?
	Hold on.
	So we are.
	I shall remove you, ma 'am.
	You had your chance and you blew it.
	So it's not that I don't believe the story.
	I believe that there might be details that this individual either is not aware of or might be disregarding because if she so much as drove down, if she so much as had her vehicle driven by someone else be there on Wellington, that might...
	Explain it, albeit wrongly, but that might explain it.
	From what I understand, and I've been looking, I have not seen any shred of evidence that anyone's bank account was frozen solely by virtue of them having donated to the convoy.
	Now, some of you out there are saying, Viva, you're biased, you donated, and you're worried.
	First of all, I donated.
	I made it public before the dox.
	I'm not worried about being doxed.
	I ran for office.
	Anybody knows everything they want to know about me.
	And it's out there in the public.
	I can't be doxed because I'm already public.
	But I just want to make sure things are correct and accurate.
	So I donated.
	I actually made it quite clear before the dox because when they shut down the GoFundMe, I was like, you guys are not going to tell me who I can and cannot support.
	It's a registered not-for-profit, a federally incorporated not-for-profit.
	You're not going to tell me who I can donate to because of your lies.
	And that pissed me off.
	And I said, and I was public, I don't care.
	So there's no self-preservation in this observation.
	I have just not seen anyone who donated have their bank account frozen.
	Globe and Mail ran an article saying nobody who donated is having their account frozen by virtue of having donated solely by virtue of having donated.
	And it's not to say that I think they should ever have their accounts frozen, period.
	They shouldn't.
	It's an outrage.
	It's egregious.
	It's offensive.
	It's unconstitutional.
	It violates fundamental rights and freedoms such as due process, peaceful enjoyment of property, freedom of association, freedom of thought, freedom of conscience.
	It violates all of that.
	I just want to know one material fact to that individual with the tweet.
	You might be wrong.
	And if you don't...
	Provide the concrete evidence that she had her bank account frozen solely by virtue of her donation.
	It has to be treated with the requisite skepticism even in as much as I want to believe it.
	So I've not seen one evidence, one concrete proven case of someone who had their bank account frozen solely by virtue of a donation to the convoy because I think it's fundamentally unconstitutional.
	And here's why.
	Damn it.
	I got there too quickly.
	I just took the person out.
	I'm going to bring her back in in a bit.
	Here's why.
	Let me just get the...
	Here we go.
	This is why, people.
	And this is also not covering my ass, although this might be covering my ass because protecting the law is necessarily covering your ass.
	The Freedom 2022 Human Rights...
	Sorry, the Freedom...
	Damn it, did I make a typo?
	The Freedom 2022 Human Rights and Freedoms, i.e.
	the Freedom Convoy.
	Trucker's Convoy is a federally incorporated not-for-profit, meaning the federal government approved its status to then go after donors is nothing shy of the most insidious entrapment conceivable.
	I want everyone to appreciate that.
	I got into a debate, and this is why Twitter is not a good place for debate.
	There are differences between not-for-profits and recognized charities.
	It's arguably, but probably not arguably, That being said, when the government recognizes a not-for-profit as a not-for-profit, it's because they filed the required forms, they've satisfied the required federal requirements for the federal government to recognize them as a not-for-profit.
	For the federal government then to say, anyone who donated To a registered, federally incorporated, not-for-profit, before any emergencies act, could be criminalized?
	That is a violation of Section 11G of the Charter, which is holding someone criminally liable for something which was not a crime at the time they did it.
	An act or omission that was not a crime at the time they did it.
	I'm going to have to check that out in a second.
	This is not a cover my ass.
	This is a cover your ass.
	I want people to understand this.
	If the government does decide to do this, if they do decide to engage in what I think would be the most egregious, offensive, unconstitutional overreach ever to retroactively criminalize conduct, which was not criminal at the time, everyone should know this argument.
	Which is why I'm very skeptical of the claims.
	And if someone's going to make the claim, you'd better have damn good evidence.
	Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
	And to simply say, I'm not giving you the information because I've seen the way people have been treated by the media.
	First of all, she's doxxed already.
	So that's a bad argument.
	So that's all I'd say.
	This argument, by the way, take it, run with it, understand it.
	If the government ever wants to say, you donated to what we recognized and approved as a not-for-profit and now we're going to criminalize you.
	It's not that I don't think the government is criminal because I do think they are.
	But there's levels to criminality.
	So with that said, stop screen.
	Is that what does it?
	Oh, I've been clicking the wrong button.
	Now let me go share and just see where we are.
	So I hope everyone appreciates that.
	I haven't brought up a lot of chats.
	I missed one here.
	Peter Sintik says, elements of a contract.
	One, mutual agreement.
	Two, consideration.
	Three, competency.
	Four, lawful object.
	I was not competent when Canadian citizenship was imposed on me.
	Can my Canadian citizenship be a no?
	No.
	Thank you.
	I would very much like to stop swiping myself out of my own livestream.
	Damn it.
	And there's big chats that I can now no longer bring up, which I'm going to bring up.
	I'm going to read them.
	I can't bring them up.
	Britt Cormier, 200.
	Superchat, thank you.
	This marks the end of meaningful democracy in your country.
	Issue is the people voting yay did not arrive at their position via logic and reasons.
	Therefore, they cannot be swayed by logic and reason.
	This is what separates LawTube and many of its fans from the people in our governments.
	Britt Cormier, thank you very much.
	It's a $200 Super Chat, and I thank you for that.
	And then we've got Fishnit Costa Rica.
	I cannot bring it up because I brought myself out of my own live stream.
	Maybe I can.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	I can't.
	Booyah!
	Fishnit Costa Rica.
	What is that?
	Hold on.
	Guys, I got to pull an oldie here.
	Oh, my God.
	That's a sailfish.
	I could not appreciate what I was seeing.
	That's either a blue marlin or a sailfish.
	No, that's a sailfish.
	I believe they're the fastest fish in the sea.
	Maybe tied with tuna.
	Thank you.
	And thank you.
	If you meant to put a comment in there, don't put another super chat for the comment.
	Thank you.
	If there were to be any type of strike, could the PM use emergency?
	Yes!
	Yes!
	He could use the emergency act to seize their assets, to freeze their bank accounts.
	I hope everyone understands this.
	The second the government deems your protest to be too disruptive, they'll declare a national emergency.
	They will declare an emergency to invoke the emergency.
	What's that?
	You blocked the bridge for an afternoon?
	You just interrupted travel.
	Emergencies act.
	Freeze your bank accounts.
	Seize your cars.
	Sell them to compensate for the damages.
	You have no idea the beast that you've unleashed, people who support this crap.
	You have no idea.
	In 2015, HuffPost ran an article by Dan Dickens.
	It's making the rounds now.
	Predicting that Canada would become a dictatorship under Trudeau.
	The boy king worshipped Castro and fawns over China.
	I don't know what that means.
	That means cover your ass.
	I'm going to say that means cover your ass.
	That has to be cover your ass, right?
	Thank you.
	Okay, so that's where we're at, the rumors about freezing of bank accounts.
	I think it's rumors.
	Yeah, I keep swiping myself out of the stream.
	It's quite stupid of me.
	I want everyone to appreciate that.
	I would love concrete evidence that the government has seized an account solely by virtue of having donated to the convoy.
	I haven't seen it.
	And as I wrote to the CBC, come and ask me questions.
	I donated $1,000 to the convoy before the emergency order was declared because even though I think it's wrong, I would not have donated afterwards.
	I would not have donated and I would not have recommended anybody donate afterwards because that would incur liability, wrongfully so.
	But predictably so.
	Beforehand, the government incorporates this not-for-profit.
	It's registered.
	So when I go to see, do I want to donate this?
	Are they a legitimate not-for-profit?
	And they come up on the Canada Business, whatever the website.
	When they come up as an actual incorporated not-for-profit with a Canada Business incorporation number, and I say, okay, they're legit.
	I donate.
	You want to try to criminalize that?
	Go ahead.
	And see what happens when you do that.
	They're not that stupid.
	Anyone donating after the emergencies declaration or the emergencies invocation, I still think you're right, but you're asking for trouble.
	If you're Canadian.
	If you're American, good luck.
	Good luck with your jurisdiction arguments.
	Just so you know, St. Patrick's Day falls in the 30th of the Emergencies Act.
	So that's it.
	Haven't seen any confirmation about that.
	And I don't think it's true.
	And I'm skeptical and I do not think that that conservative tweeter knows all the facts.
	Or if he does, it might be why he's not disclosing all the facts.
	And it's not because I don't want it to be true.
	Just to show you my level of objectivity.
	It's not because it's a conservative telling me what I want to hear that I'm going to believe in.
	Show me the proof or take your tweet and keep it to yourself.
	Get it through your thick hair, Viva.
	The charter is toilet paper, Mike Pierce.
	How long before the name changed to People's Republic of Canada?
	Dude, your beard and your avatar are scaring me, but I love it because I've known you and you've been around for a long time.
	Thank you.
	Now, there was one...
	There we go.
	69. 99. We need a war room pandemic up here in Canada.
	Would you be willing to host one?
	Or would you know who could?
	Canadians need this show.
	Dude, this is a war room right now.
	It just happens to be...
	You might have just heard my hot water tank go on in my basement.
	I'll talk to Steve.
	I think I've been on Steve's show enough to think that this might be a reasonable possibility.
	It's all a question of discussion and agreement.
	All right, Vicky Dreams, how you doing?
	I remember your avatar as well.
	Thank you.
	Okay, now the other third thing.
	Hold on, hold on.
	I'll leave the avatar.
	I'll leave this up for a second.
	Share.
	Let's see what's going on with the Verbal Diarrhea Festival.
	The Festival of Diarrhea.
	Here's a guy.
	Via Zoom, what do we say?
	...of the structure and what went on within those walls.
	It was also the summer of 1990, where we witnessed another crisis, the Oka crisis, where we had non-indigenous men, investors, wanting to build a golf course on a traditional Mohawk burial site.
	This crisis in 1990 forced the Conservative government of the day to send in the military after a request from the provincial Quebec government.
	I have seen and participated in many people's protests and have witnessed many different protests in front of Parliament Hill over the years from people across the political spectrum.
	But what we have witnessed in the past weeks is anything but a protest.
	What seemed like a protest quickly became an occupation.
	Which quickly became an illegal occupation.
	Paralyzing the city of Ottawa and its residents is something we have not seen before.
	Lie.
	Not in Canada.
	Oh, you saw it now, by the way, because the government just did it.
	Now, I do not know for a fact if these people are indigenous or not, but what I do know is that many indigenous peoples across the country and organizations have denounced the cultural appropriation being exercised by some of these individuals.
	Sir, Big Bull was indigenous.
	Big Bear was indigenous.
	Tamara Licks is indigenous.
	This guy just called into question, but then said, I don't want to...
	Chanting fake news towards reporters who are part and parcel of our democracy.
	No, they're not.
	Reporters being spat on.
	They were not.
	lie.
	We have more interest in US media making absolute false statements about what is really happening in Canada.
	He's trying to get on Well, it's not pervasive because it affects us all.
	It affects all, it's pervasive, and it might affect all, but true.
	Canada's prime minister to Hitler.
	How enchantile can grown man be?
	Why don't you just respond to the subject of that accusation?
	We're taking this guy out.
	Let me just put him on mute so that I don't have to hear him on my end because I still hear him.
	It's burning my ear brains.
	By the way, comparing him to Hitler as juvenile doesn't even merit a response.
	Hitler in 1933 invoked the Reichstag fire, which was arguably but not arguably set up by Hitler so that he could go after and persecute his political adversaries.
	He then used the emergency declaration after the Reichstag fire to suspend Parliament for the further purposes of persecuting ad infinitum his political adversaries.
	What do you think Trudeau just did with this?
	Because we didn't have a Reichstag fire.
	We didn't need to have one because the media that this individual was just touting as trustworthy and laudable just said we had one.
	They just said this whole thing was violent.
	This guy here just said that the indigenous people protesting, he doesn't know if they were indigenous, but they don't represent.
	I'm sorry, sir.
	Justin Trudeau is doing exactly what was done in 1933 Germany.
	He's not doing what was done in 1939 Germany, but he's doing exactly.
	What was done in 1933 Germany, except Trudeau didn't even have to set up his own false flag of a Reichstag fire.
	He just had to lie about the most peaceful protest that lasted three weeks without incident until he showed up with his cops.
	Just had to lie about it, and his media did all the hard work for him.
	What did I say we were going to talk about next?
	Pat King.
	Let's go to the bail.
	Let's go to the bail hearing.
	Share.
	My God.
	It's repulsive and not...
	They're not paid actors.
	They're not actors.
	They're just useful individuals.
	Oh, I can't share more than one screen at a time.
	That's why.
	So I have to stop the screen.
	We'll come back.
	Anybody in the chat who sees the vote going on, let me know.
	I cannot listen to this anymore.
	I can't listen to it anymore.
	So...
	No, that's absolutely not what I'm trying to bring up.
	Share screen.
	Share screen.
	And we'll get to the bail hearing tonight.
	And then we'll get to the defamation.
	During the elections, Justin Trudeau.
	No, forget it.
	Right now, we're going to deal with Rebel News and the fact that Alexa Lavoie was shot in the leg, point blank, by Justin Trudeau's RCMP that he called in to deal with this protest.
	Alexa Lavoie from Rebel News.
	If there's ever been any doubt, Rebel News might get things wrong from time to time.
	I don't think they've ever gotten something so materially wrong that they deserve to be discredited, period.
	Alexa Lavoie has cojones that you cannot possibly imagine on any human being.
	And during the elections, she went and asked Justin Trudeau a question about whether or not Canada is going to make two booster shots mandatory like they've done in Israel.
	That was shortly after...
	Justin Trudeau had spent his time demonizing Rebel Media.
	She was shot in the leg point blank by the RCMP officer despite having her Rebel Media credentials and a microphone in her hand, and I want everyone to watch this.
	Bonjour Monsieur Trudeau, Alexandre pour Rebell News.
	Bonjour, c'est toi.
	Donc Monsieur Trudeau, je vais revenir rapidement sur ce qui s'est passé hier.
	Vous avez déabolisé l'un des rares médias qui ne reçoit pas d'argent du gouvernement.
	Vous avez exprimé votre opinion en disant que nous propageons la désinformation.
	Si c'était vrai et si c'était le cas, la Cour fédérale nous aurait pas permis...
	You demonized us.
	If it were true, we would not have been accredited by the court to come to this.
	Will you answer my question, which was about the vaccines?
	I share my perspective on your organization yesterday.
	I have nothing more to say.
	Look at that pompous prick to look away from us.
	And this is the day before yesterday.
	shot her in the leg of the tear gun canister.
	And I don't want anybody laughing at a woman crying.
	Period.
	I don't want anyone making jokes about her mascara running because she was sobbing because she'd been shot point blank in the leg by a tear gun canister.
	I don't want any stupid jokes.
	I don't want anyone making jokes about a screaming woman.
	Period.
	I believe they're going to be suing.
	If I know anything about Rebel News, they're going to...
	Am I muted?
	Please tell me if I'm muted.
	Can you hear me, people?
	This makes me vomit.
	Can you hear me say that mic check one, two?
	I don't want anyone making jokes.
	People would laugh.
	People are going to say, oh, you got what you deserve.
	Oh, you're acting.
	Because we didn't see the moment that she was shot in the leg, but I saw the aftermath.
	Am I muted?
	I'm not muted.
	Okay, thank you.
	This is a government.
	Justin Trudeau in September.
	J 'ai dit tout ce que je vais à dire.
	J 'ai plus de rien à dire.
	I've said everything I have to say to you.
	I've got nothing more to say.
	And he turns away.
	And then by accident, the RCMP that he calls in, the RCMP is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
	They respond to the federal.
	They are federal.
	They're federally mandated.
	They just happen to shoot her in the leg with a tear gun canister.
	Now, anybody who's been shot by a paintball, it hurts.
	But not enough to cry, maybe enough to make you laugh unless you get it in the wrong part of your body.
	I want everyone to understand what just happened there.
	That is Justin Trudeau's police.
	At his request.
	At his behest.
	At his demand.
	They were called in.
	By him.
	For him.
	Shooting a journalist in the leg.
	Not with a gun, not with a bullet.
	With a tear gun canister.
	Those things weigh, I don't know, six ounces?
	They weigh enough that they need to be able to be fired.
	A distance away to disperse a crowd.
	And from what I understand, maybe the individual pulled the trigger by accident, but why would the...
	I presume these weapons have safeties nonetheless.
	I believe that it was not an accident.
	That's my belief.
	But setting my belief aside, it happened.
	And don't anyone say, I didn't see when it happened.
	She's a faker.
	She's a rebel who's faking me.
	Keep that.
	You could think those.
	You don't say it and you'll get laughed out of the room.
	So that's what happened to her.
	She went to the hospital.
	A contusion is different than a bruise in terms of seriousness.
	This is the only joke I'll bring up.
	I say funny is funny and dark humor can still be funny.
	By the way, this is what the buffoons in the Senate right now are voting on.
	You want to talk about what the Emergencies Act is for?
	Maybe you should invoke the Emergencies Act to strip Justin Trudeau of any power whatsoever.
	And that's it.
	That's all I have to say about that.
	Shocking and offensive.
	Clip that, share this, let the world know.
	What else was I going to do?
	I had to share the screen on something else because it had to do with...
	Yeah, it had to do with the detainment.
	No, so I brought that up.
	Okay, yeah, I should have been closing the window so that I don't have to go through my notes.
	My Twitter feed has turned into my notes for discourse.
	Let's just go to...
	So what's going on with Tara Lich and Pat King?
	Pat King, by the way...
	I'm not going to say bad things about Pat King for the sake of it, and I'm not going to say bad things about Pat King, period, because I don't know enough about Pat King to say bad things about him.
	My introduction to Pat King came this summer when I was in New Brunswick on the road trip, and there was that viral video.
	People were freaking emailing me left, right, and center, messaging me, texting me, DMing me.
	This guy from Alberta, Pat King, Red Deer, Alberta, ended COVID.
	He ended COVID.
	They're pulling back the measures.
	He solved the COVID riddle.
	He won his case.
	He subpoenaed the crown.
	They declined the subpoena.
	And it's over.
	COVID's over.
	And I'm not a cynic, but I'm a cynic.
	And I'm a reasonably intelligent and cynical cynic.
	That doesn't make sense.
	None of that makes sense.
	So I went to see the story.
	I watched the Stu Peters show where he said he ended all of it.
	He won his court case.
	He cornered the crown.
	It's over.
	He solved the problem.
	Everyone across the world should do exactly what Pat King was doing.
	Subpoena the crown.
	Subpoena the health minister.
	And I looked into it very briefly because you can only deal with the information you have at the time.
	Can't fathom everyone because he doesn't do it.
	And I said, no, the story doesn't make sense.
	I looked in to say, first of all, I don't think he even won his case.
	I don't even think he succeeded on his subpoena.
	In fact, I believe his subpoena was quashed because it was invalidly issued.
	In fact, I don't think he even won on his case because it was suspended and postponed and whatever.
	And then sure enough, he went on another podcast where the guy, I messaged him privately and I said, you did a good job doing it politely and respectfully.
	Basically got Pat King to admit, I lost my case.
	I had to pay my ticket.
	My subpoena was quashed.
	And they're not lifting the measures in Alberta.
	And then I started taking shit from his supporters who said, Viva, why would you crush the inspiration?
	He's out there inspiring.
	I don't need inspiration.
	I need truth.
	I don't need inspiration.
	I need truth and I need accuracy.
	And what I got from that was neither truth nor accuracy.
	I'm not saying it was a lie.
	I'm just saying he misunderstood what happened because I believe he did.
	I believe Stu Peters...
	Maybe he knew better.
	Maybe he didn't.
	Ran with it because it was just so good.
	It was so optimistic.
	It's so uplifting.
	But it was wrong.
	I don't need inspiration.
	I just need the truth and accuracy.
	And when I started calling it out, I started getting called.
	I started feeling flack.
	That was my intro to Pat King.
	Then I found out he's involved with the protest and he's had some, he said some unfavorable things.
	I don't like any discussion about pureblood.
	I know people do it in the chat for fun.
	Hey, Viva got vaxxed.
	You talk to me about pure blood.
	I'm not going to respond to you.
	I'm not going to block you.
	You can express your thoughts, but I think that's an idiotic discussion.
	It's idiotic discourse.
	And I actually think it's arguably, even conceivably planted discourse.
	Because nobody on the conservative right who's for freedom of choice is going to refer to anyone who chose to get vaccinated as unpure blood.
	Nobody.
	So that's what I think.
	He's associated with this protest.
	They were arrested last week.
	We all saw it.
	Tamara Lynch, Friday night, a very peaceful arrest.
	Pat King, and apparently their bail, oh sorry, so their bail was postponed.
	Tamara Lynch's decision on her bail, because I think they had the hearing over the weekend, the decision was postponed until Tuesday.
	She was arrested Friday on what was, I think, correct me if I'm wrong, at worst, mischief charges.
	At worst, felony mischief.
	Which, at worst, Zot is live, by the way.
	I just got the notification.
	If anyone wants to go check out Zot.
	I'm hearing kids not behaving upstairs.
	She was arrested on what is, at worst, felony mischief.
	And that's a high burden.
	She was arrested Friday night.
	Ordinarily, you would be charged.
	Detained within, say, a few hours, maybe 12 hours.
	Her bail hearing was either held or postponed, but either way, the judgment on her bail hearing was postponed until this morning.
	So she's been in jail Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday night, Monday night.
	Four days on mischief, even if you want to deem it to be felony mischief.
	And the judge today said, not granting you bail for whatever the reason.
	Let me just see this here.
	Just getting here might be known.
	Couldn't post last message with Trudeau spelled correctly.
	Interesting.
	Susan added again.
	Well, it depends how you spelled it and what avatars you put in it.
	I find the intellectual intelligentsia university is very quiet about all that.
	Am I wrong?
	No, well, there's a lefty who are contesting the Emergencies Act, so there's that.
	Is there any update on Mike Anderson, also known as Pissed Off Trucker on TikTok?
	He's been a guest.
	I'll check because I know that I saw him.
	I interviewed him, I believe.
	I think I interviewed him at some point.
	Let me bring it up bigger.
	Detained on mischief charges because there is a substantial risk you will not abide by an order.
	Or she could be released on bail, as she should be, and if she breaches that order, then she could be possibly understandably detained.
	Possibly understandably.
	I weigh my words on purpose.
	Because I don't think detainment for mischief charges is possibly conceivably justifiable.
	But if you say you're released...
	Here are the orders.
	If you violate them, then we can jail you for contempt, like they did with Pawlowski, like they did with Arthur Coates, Arthur Pawlowski, Pastor Coates, and the other one.
	Maybe.
	I still think it was abuse.
	But at the very least, you can understand that they can't get you on the substance, they get you on the process.
	And this was a quote from the decision.
	There's a substantial risk you will continue these actions and you will not abide by an order, the judge told Lish.
	Your recent history in our city satisfies me that your detention is necessary for the safety and protection of the public.
	So I play the intellectual honesty game.
	I think it's offensive, obscene, unjustifiable, undemocratic, abusive, and egregious that she's still detained.
	The only thing I say to myself is, what could she and what could Pat King have possibly done or said That might have justified that decision.
	Bail hearing.
	People who are cheering this on and saying, yay, good for you.
	You are detaining an innocent person.
	You might think she's guilty, but she is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
	So you are detaining a legally innocent person.
	Yeah.
	Thank you.
	Trudeau spoke about sanctions on Russia for authoritarian policy, yet he's doing the same.
	I posted a tweet to that.
	It's like, hey, look at this.
	This is...
	Putin invading the Ukraine.
	Oh, wait, no, I'm sorry.
	That's Trudeau dealing with peaceful protesters in Ottawa.
	You can...
	Oh, crap, it was detainment.
	You can detain someone for violating a court order.
	And it's understandable, because the underlying court order might be totally innocuous.
	But if they refuse to adhere to the conditions of their release, okay, fine.
	Then you get them on the procedure, but not on the substance.
	But you are detaining.
	A legally innocent person.
	And people have to understand that.
	The reasons for which you detain a legally innocent person have to do with the severity of the accusations, the flight risk, or the risk of repeating the crime.
	So, an egregiously violent accusation, although you're technically presumed innocent.
	Let's just take the Waukesha driver, for example.
	Well, there's video of it.
	Beginning to end including arrest, he's legally innocent, although not innocent in my mind, but that's my own bias, call it what you want.
	You can arguably detain that individual despite not being convicted yet because of the seriousness of the violence of the act.
	Jelaine Maxwell.
	You could arguably justify the detainment because of a flight risk.
	You know, she's on serious charges.
	Some will call them violent, others might not.
	They're violent.
	She might be a flight risk.
	Her argument was always that if she were a flight risk, she would have flighted a long time ago and not waited to get arrested.
	Setting that aside, the violence, the flight risk, or the risk of recidivism.
	Committing it again.
	Send it adjourned.
	Good, because I don't want to hear that diary anymore.
	So I just say to myself, what could she possibly have done to justify...
	This order, which I think is shockingly offensive on his face.
	She could have gotten up before the court, before the judge, she and Pat King.
	And they have it in their spirit.
	They have a fighting spirit, like it or not.
	She could have said, forget you, judge.
	I'm not going to do a damn thing.
	You can put whatever conditions you want.
	I will assure you I am not going to respect them.
	And then the judge is going to say, well, okay, I have no choice.
	This is what they did to Pavlovsky, to Coates.
	I think it was more to Coates, to Pastor Coates, than to Pavlosky.
	They said, agree not to hold church services.
	He said, I will not agree to those bail conditions.
	And they said, I'm sorry then, I can't release you.
	I think it's abusive, I think it's egregious, I think it's unconstitutional, but I understand the logic.
	Here are the terms of your release, your bail conditions, $5,000 bond, whatever, and undertake not to hold what we are claiming to be unlawful church services.
	Coates said, no.
	And they held him for, I think it was a long time.
	I think it was over three weeks.
	I understand it.
	I disagree with it, but I understand it.
	If Tamara Lich said, I will not undertake one thing.
	I will continue corresponding with other protest members.
	I will continue corresponding with the convoy.
	I will continue organizing.
	I will continue encouraging people to come down on Ottawa.
	If she said that in open court, I could understand it.
	I might still disagree with it.
	I might still say, let her go out and let her do that.
	And then when you bring her back, you have the moral high ground.
	I could understand.
	Same thing with Pat King.
	So I don't know what was said.
	And that's all I have to say about that, is basically, if that's what she said, I can understand the judge saying I can't grant you bail.
	The rationale based on the judge's statements, can't understand it.
	You pose a risk.
	I can't be assured you won't repeat.
	Well, then you release the individual.
	Take their passport, if that's what you want to do, to make sure she's not a flight risk.
	Therefore, she's a recitative risk.
	You can get her back, and then you can jail her.
	And you can say, I told you not to.
	You did it.
	And other people out there could say, it was an abusive ask in the first place, but you did it.
	And now you're going to go sit in jail unless you undertake not to do it again.
	That's not what happened from what I understand.
	Now, Dave Anber.
	Who's the lawyer in Ottawa representing people now?
	He came out with a piece, and he said, basically, look, it's nuanced and yada yada.
	Criminal lawyer, I believe it's here.
	Cher, and I believe you're seeing this.
	He says, my piece in the Newsweek on Tamara Lich being denied bail.
	We'll bring it up.
	And I think you're seeing this.
	A leader of a Freedom Convoy was denied bail.
	What it means, what it doesn't.
	And he has a bit of a nuanced take on this, which I agree with the take, but I disagree with...
	I understand the take, but I disagree with the underlying point, which is she should have been released and allowed to violate the terms of her release, and then you lock her up, and then you can say, I told her not to do it, and she did it.
	Not, I fear you're going to do it, therefore I'm not giving you bail.
	Her new hearing date is March, March 1st or something.
	I'm detaining you on mischief charges, whereas drug dealers who lie on their bail terms, yeah, I won't deal drugs, I won't commit crimes, so let me go.
	I think it's outrageous, but...
	I just want to read a couple of passages.
	Something many seem to be missing is the fact that a bail hearing is not a trial.
	Trial is guilty or not guilty.
	Fine.
	The rules of evidence are concrete, beyond a reasonable doubt, or not.
	Bail, on the other hand, is a very different animal.
	It does not result in the binary decision making found in a trial, but rather involves balancing many interests in the adiana.
	And we've talked about it.
	The court believes that the accused is likely to not attend court.
	Or if they believe there's substantial likelihood that the person will continue to break the law.
	But if their likelihood of breaking the law is mischief charges, yeah, that's not serious enough in my view to continue to detain them.
	Or it's not enough to continue justifying, denying bail.
	I will recognize Amber has more meaningful professional experience than me.
	And if you want to defer to the authority between me and Amber, Amber is the authority.
	This is my opinion.
	And the judge basically said, in Tamara List's case, the judge detained her on the second and third grounds.
	You are counseling publicly to continue to occupation, the judge said at the hearing.
	I cannot be reassured that if I release you, you will not reoffend.
	That's the bottom line.
	So Amber is basically saying, she's basically admitting that she's continuing to encourage the allegedly unlawful conduct, and the judge says, I can't be assured that you will not reoffend.
	My take would have been, Release her.
	Let her re-offend.
	And then you can do it.
	Not right now.
	I think it's over the top.
	But go read the piece from Amber.
	You may like it and you may not like it.
	You may agree with it.
	You may disagree with it.
	It's a well-thought-out and well-justified piece.
	And don't anyone start saying, Amber has to pussyfoot around satisfying the courts.
	Amber has been more ballsy and more courageous than any practicing attorney that I know.
	And I'm not including myself in that.
	Because I'm not practicing anymore, and I don't have to worry about what a judge thinks about me.
	Amber is frontline offense and frontline defense.
	And so don't go because you don't like his conclusion here and say, he's controlled opposition.
	He's just covering his own ass.
	If he were covering his own ass, he wouldn't be taking these files.
	If he were covering his own ass, he would not be appearing on my channel talking about it.
	If he were covering his own ass, he would not be doing what he's doing now.
	He has a take on this.
	It's not an untenable take.
	Disagree with it, but it is a justifiable, tenable take.
	And that's it.
	And so my only thing is, you know, did Pat King basically saying, screw you, F you, I won't do what you tell me.
	You let me out.
	The second I get out, I'm going to go continue doing this.
	They might have said that out of defiance.
	And then the judge might have, you know, been more justified than less justified and saying, well, then no bail for you.
	If it were me, it's mischief charges.
	Let them out.
	If they cause mischief.
	You're not detaining them because they're causing mischief.
	You're detaining them because they're breaching the orders of their release.
	So, I don't know that we're going to actually see the vote tonight.
	Detention was called...
	LISH is in DT for protection of public.
	Detention was called DT.
	What does DT stand for?
	Anyhow, bottom line.
	You know what the funny thing is?
	We didn't need a January 6th to justify the response.
	This is our January 6th, not because of the violent protests, but because of the government abuse, the prosecutorial abuse, the abuse of law in all of this.
	It's over the top, in my view.
	One of my favorite streamers, SpokenScan, tweeted your rant yesterday when LawTube collides with police scanner chase pot smoking.
	It was beautiful.
	I don't smoke pot, people.
	Just everybody knows that.
	I don't.
	I like the way it smells, but I don't do it.
	I have nothing against it.
	I'm just actually shocked that people can actually do that and remain functional human beings.
	My own two cents.
	Senate is done for the day.
	So, can people in the chat tell me, are we not going to get a vote tonight?
	Not that I'm encouraged, because...
	Oh, well, actually, you know what?
	Guy who...
	Yeah, he's out on bail.
	The guy who ran over four protesters, he's out on bail.
	Because he promised not to run over any more people.
	He signed his bail terms.
	They said, put up $10,000, undertake not to run over any more people.
	And he said, yes.
	Pastor Coates said, no, I will not undertake not to hold church services.
	Wow, I told my wife this was going to be a short stream, and I think I don't hear kids screaming anymore.
	My mother died of cancer over the summer.
	We had to pick someone to travel across provincial borders and sit by her.
	The government has dehumanized people in their inability to be with their loved ones and to mourn the loss of love.
	That will enrage me.
	It will enrage me until the day I die.
	And I just hope that's 60 years from now and not sooner.
	Although this stress, it's an unbearable amount of stress.
	It has nothing to do with how...
	Hey, Viva, True North just put an article.
	The judge for Tamar Litch ran as a liberal endorsed by True North.
	I have no doubt about that.
	These judges, in the same way that they're incapable of adjudicating on this because of conflicts of interest, in as much as the judges in Washington, you want to adjudicate on an insurrection that threatened democracy and you want to be the judge in the city in which that allegedly occurred and think you're going to be objective?
	You're not going to be objective.
	That looks like me tonight, sir.
	That's me tonight.
	I love it.
	Unlawful use of my image.
	Don't worry, I'm joking.
	I got bail for two grand when I was in for 16 arson charges.
	Dude, what the hell were you doing as a child?
	Lighting multiple places on fire when I was a dumb young kid.
	This is mischief.
	So, look, I think David Anber puts out a decent article that explains the pros and the cons and what's at issue when you're contemplating bail.
	I can conceive of a world, a circumstance in which...
	Tamara and Pat King basically got in front of the judge's face and said, you, I won't do what you tell me.
	Whatever you tell me to do, the second I get out, I'm like a snake out of The Simpsons.
	The second you let me out here, I'm going to go rob another store.
	I can picture them saying that, not in malicious ways, but in a righteous indignation way, a righteous defiance way, saying, you let me out, you're not going to tell me who I can talk to, I'm not going to do it.
	And then I can see the judge saying, okay, well, you've left me no choice.
	I was not there for the hearing.
	There was no live hearing from what I understood.
	Almost obstructive.
	But I can see that happening where the judge could then say, I'm not letting you out.
	You've left me no choice.
	I would have said, let them out.
	Let them do it.
	And then your hands are clean when you have to do what is ostensibly absolutely unconstitutional and unconscionable.
	The truck drivers should boycott Ottawa, not one truck.
	You look like a young Don Cherry, sir.
	Happy curmudgeon.
	It's a good picture.
	I actually like your facial hair quite a bit.
	Thank you very much.
	I don't encourage, I don't endorse everything.
	All right, now, with that said then, are we done?
	Hold on, let me just see here.
	I'm going to get to the bottom if I can get here fast enough.
	I put the chat on 20 seconds and it's still...
	It's still too much to maintain, to keep up with.
	Sorry, guys.
	Ask yourselves what Western country has spoken out against this action in Canada, the game is afoot, people.
	America.
	Or at the very least, Tucker Carlson, Fox News.
	But no, even still, people have been speaking out about it, but it's nice to speak out about it.
	It's not going to do much.
	And nor can you do that, which is...
	Nor can you do that, which is going to be counterproductive and actually harm the cause more than anything else.
	There's a $100 super chat in there.
	It's not to prioritize.
	It's just I saw there was a big one.
	A big one in every respect.
	Parliament and Senate, one politician lying is irksome.
	An affliction of politicians colluding to deceive is worrisome.
	I agree with you.
	A calamity of politicians, simple majority wielding power, openly lying, knowing everyone knows it, is prelude to utter catastrophe.
	I agree with you.
	And it's, they're lying.
	We know they're lying.
	They know we know they're lying.
	We know they know we know they know.
	It goes on forever.
	It's egregious that the amount of people in the Senate who, these people are idiots.
	I mean, I don't mean to be denigrating.
	These people are liars or they're idiots.
	And how are they?
	They're the decision makers now.
	Appointed, ignorant, or lying decision makers.
	Comment ID.
	I read that Trudeau's appointed 52 senators during his lifetime in office.
	There are 105 senators there.
	If he appointed 52, then it's done.
	I'm interested to see comments on how many.
	Alright, now I just want to bring up Cher to bring up one more thing that I know that I haven't brought up yet, which I want to discuss.
	That was David Amber's piece.
	Wikipedia.
	Oh, the Senate.
	Let's just go for this, just for everyone's knowledge.
	I know you see this.
	The Senate of Canada, because this is relatively, I won't say new to me, I don't know how this stuff works.
	The Senate is modeled after...
	So hold on, I just saw something that made me want to puke in my mouth.
	Where was it?
	Where was it?
	It'll come up.
	No?
	No?
	Ah!
	That's what made me want to puke.
	The Prime Minister of Canada is the first Minister of the Crown.
	The Prime Minister is the head of the Government of Canada.
	Yada, yada, yada, yada.
	Okay, whatever.
	The Senate is modeled after the British House of Lords and consists of 105 members appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister.
	That's basically appointed by the Prime Minister.
	Seats are assigned, yada, yada, yada.
	We don't care about that.
	The approval of both houses is necessary for legislation to become law and thus the Senate can reject bills passed by the House of Commons.
	But here's the problem.
	Between 1867 and 1987, the Senate rejected fewer than two bills per year.
	But this has increased in recent years.
	Although legislation can be normally introduced in either chamber, the majority of the government bills originated in the House of Commons, with the Senate acting as the chamber of, quote, I love this, sober second thought.
	And we've heard that sober second thought, and it sounds like hangover thought.
	It sounds like drunken thought followed by hangover thought.
	Like making no sense followed by vomiting in the toilet the next morning saying, why did I drink so much Goldschlager?
	That's what it sounded like.
	We shall stop sharing this now.
	I'm going to close this one.
	You know what?
	I realize why I stopped closing them because I don't want to accidentally close down the stream.
	That's why I stopped closing them.
	Remind me not to close them down.
	Yeah, look, I'm not going to disagree with you on that.
	They are accurate when anything they publish runs counter to the narrative.
	So, with the Governor Whitmer, I'm not discussing maritime law, whoever asked that.
	Oh my god, my back hurts.
	When they were discussing the 8645, when they say things that are counter to narrative, you know they're honest.
	Otherwise, fake.
	So, there's that.
	Sorry, I'm at the bottom of the chat now.
	Did they suspend for the night?
	Can someone confirm to me?
	David, if you're watching, I know you are.
	Did they suspend for the night?
	Could you confirm that for me?
	Holy crap, apples.
	Okay, so that's not right.
	Zoke removed.
	Oh, someone said Zoke removed, not Zot.
	That goes back to the channels being shut down.
	I repeat what I said about that.
	Someone just said to...
	Oh, I won't say this.
	I'm not sure it's public.
	By the way, I'm such a volt.
	I know things that I can't disclose.
	I have information that I cannot disclose because I'm not that.
	And I won't do it.
	Let me just see what the...
	The hearing is back on.
	Well, then, hold on one second.
	Share screen.
	Go to Chrome tab.
	Go to SendView.
	Let me share this and just see what the dealio is.
	Your...
	What?
	I'm going to refresh that.
	Audio only.
	No, stop.
	I don't want them.
	Oh my goodness.
	This goes from...
	Choose it.
	No, I think it's over, guys.
	I think it's over for the day.
	Stop sharing.
	And let me just get back to the stream.
	I haven't eaten dinner yet.
	My stomach is starting to grumble.
	Okay, so yeah, let me see.
	The Senate has left till 9 a.m. tomorrow.
	Good.
	So we don't have to worry about that.
	Then the question is just going to be, let me get to the other subject matters.
	Oh!
	Okay, so the bail hearing, Tamara is going to be in jail on, at worst, felony mischief, which the judge says...
	Carries a very harsh sentence.
	Up to 10 years.
	And the judge is relatively certain she's going to be convicted.
	So, whatever.
	But on the bail hearing, the question is, risk to the public, flight risk, recidative risk, and maybe they said something that could justify the judge in saying, look, you've made it clear you're not going to respect any terms of release, therefore I can't release you.
	Fine.
	I would have released them anyhow, let them breach it, and arrest them again.
	They had no problem doing that to Pawlowski.
	I love hearing your thoughts, but your wife must be getting real...
	She's getting real red-pilled.
	That's the problem.
	Stupid idea.
	Can we ask the Queen to veto an emergency?
	I don't know.
	I've heard people say that.
	I don't know how that works.
	I don't know how that works.
	Yeah, someone just said, oh my god, 10 years.
	Mischief, 10 years.
	Felony mischief.
	Maximum 10 years.
	This is a January 6th, by the way.
	This is a January 6th.
	Not because of the violence of the protest, but because of the violence of the prosecutorial misconduct, the government overreach, the government overreaction.
	This is the most expensive investigation in the history of Canada?
	Bullshit.
	Sorry.
	Sorry.
	I don't have religious parents.
	Bullshit.
	And you fabricate the crisis so you can appeal to the crisis.
	Thank you very much.
	No, no, hold on.
	Someone just said here, I gotta find the arrows, find the arrows.
	Here we go.
	Trudeau's, he wanted a January 6th in violence.
	He didn't get that until the police showed up.
	Now he got his January 6th in terms of government abuse, government overreach, prosecutorial misconduct, in my humble opinion, and absolute prosecutorial abuse and judicial abuse.
	They've arrested organizers?
	Of a registered, federally registered, not-for-profit.
	Not on the basis of fraud.
	Because part of me is sitting here saying, okay, fine.
	I don't know Tamara Lich from a hole in the wall.
	I didn't know Ben Dichter from a hole in the wall before I interviewed him.
	I don't know the organizers.
	Maybe this was a massive Ponzi fraud scheme.
	They're like, yeah, guys, donate, donate, donate.
	We got 10 million bucks.
	We're going to pot.
	Maybe.
	Maybe it was fraud.
	They haven't been charged on tax fraud.
	They haven't been charged on charity fraud.
	They've been charged on any fraud.
	They've been charged on mischief.
	Because if it was fraud, I would feel egregious.
	I donated because I wanted to help the truckers whose lives have been ruined for the last two years.
	I wanted to help them make ends meet.
	I didn't want to support fraud.
	If it was fraud, so be it.
	Charge them for it.
	They're not even being charged for fraud.
	They're being charged on mischief because their protest was disruptive, and the people who donated to this registered, federally registered not-for-profit to support truckers whose lives have been interrupted and destroyed, they wanted to support them.
	The mischief is now what gave grounds to the seizure, the restraint on property, offense-related property.
	They didn't even need to have a January 6th to react as though it were a January 6th because they got the media bought and paid for and they just had to fabricate a January 6th, get their buffoons in the House of Commons to repeat lies, their buffoons in the Senate to repeat the lies.
	I could.
	I walked to work.
	I'm not muted.
	I'm not muted.
	Am I muted?
	Am I muted?
	I'm not muted.
	Government.
	Okay, tell me if I'm muted.
	I'm not muted.
	Okay, so with that said, now let me just see.
	There were a couple of windows that I had open.
	Share screen.
	Chrome tab.
	During the elections, just that was...
	Okay, so I'm going through it.
	Human rights, federally incorporated.
	If they want to try to go after the protesters.
	Not the protesters, sorry.
	The donors to a federally incorporated not-for-profit.
	Arguably entrapment.
	Insidious entrapment.
	Remember the argument.
	Justin Trudeau.
	Demonizing rebel media, turning his chin to Alexa Lavoie, and then his RCMP shooting her in the leg point blank with a tear gun canister.
	Why do they have tear gas?
	By the way, a tear gas gun canister.
	Why do they have tear gas at this protest?
	Okay, that was the third point.
	Detained on mischief.
	This is Tamara Lich being denied bail on mischief charges.
	That was the third point.
	Then I had an article.
	We don't need to read it.
	Michael Strau saying that a donor who donated $50 had her bank account frozen but is not providing details.
	Skepticism.
	David Anber's take?
	Fine.
	And now, the final piece of the evening.
	I believe I was defamed by W5CTV.
	For those of you who don't know, they ran a piece Saturday night.
	Which I didn't realize I was going to be a tool in their vehicle to try to defame and besmirch and demonize Rumble as some far-right platform.
	They came to my house.
	They set up their dollies.
	They set up everything to interview me.
	We spent an hour and a half with Kevin Newman.
	They only used a few minutes, which is a shame.
	But in the final piece Saturday night, Kevin Newman said...
	In an attempt to use me as a vehicle to demonize and defame Rumble, said, Viva Frye.
	Or he actually said, David Freehite.
	I don't care about mispronouncing my last name, period.
	But if we had been in touch, and if you're going to interview me for an hour and a half and talk about me and make a well-produced hit piece, just pronounce it right out of respect when you're disrespecting me, but whatever.
	David Freehite, who's had videos, plural, pulled from YouTube.
	Challenged by Facebook, but Rumble didn't even touch it.
	And I'm sitting there watching and saying, lie, lie, and lie.
	I messaged them and I tweeted out and I said, that's a lie.
	Please correct and retract.
	And they said, we'll look into it.
	And then I got an email saying, we've corrected it.
	Listen to how they corrected this.
	Here we go.
	Boom.
	You get the intro part too.
	Just let's go.
	It's glorious.
	Watch again.
	What did I just do?
	Audio.
	You gotta hear the melancholic guitar.
	Defamation coming now.
	Pull down by yourself.
	Challenge.
	Challenge by Facebook.
	Never touched.
	This is Kevin Newman.
	Paul, please, sir.
	Paul, please, right now.
	I'm at my friend's house.
	That's not our case.
	That's false and defamatory, and here's why.
	Here's why.
	I have had...
	Exactly one video pulled from YouTube.
	Alex Jones.
	But it was reinstated.
	It was the Alex Jones deposition where I broke down and explained Alex Jones' deposition from that lawyer.
	Bear with me.
	Just watch this.
	YouTube initially demonetized it, then pulled it from YouTube for allegedly violating their terms of service as relates to hate speech, which I challenged.
	And then YouTube...
	Miraculously reinstated and remonetized.
	So, Kevin Newman, if you're going to say that I had a video pulled from YouTube, you might want to add the small, salient fact that it was reinstated and remonetized.
	As far as Facebook goes, as far as I know, I've never had one video challenge on Facebook.
	And that might explain why, on Rumble, I have not had one issue with any video.
	Because even on YouTube, on my main channel, in the history of my seven years...
	2,300-and-something videos.
	I have had one video pulled, and it was reinstated and re-monetized.
	So, Kevin Newman, you do good journalism.
	I'd like you to correct that, retract that, and I won't even ask for an apology.
	Just correct and retract, please.
	Now listen to this.
	This is what I got by email.
	Thank you.
	As responsible journalists, this is what we've done.
	Thank you.
	Back to this piece.
	This is what they did.
	It doesn't matter.
	Remember what you heard.
	Remember what you heard in the original broadcast.
	This is the digital version.
	Free Height had a video removed from YouTube, which was later reinstated on appeal, but never touched on a platform that's become home to right-wing watchers called Rumble.
	Thank you.
	Can we appreciate that?
	Can we appreciate that this was a hit piece on Rumble?
	The underlying accusation of which was providing misinformation.
	And this piece itself provided misinformation.
	And then when called out to correct and retract, instead resorted to a stealth edit.
	With neither a correction nor retraction, a stealth edit to the digital version, which will have zero impact on the televised version.
	And what do they say?
	Originally, they said, Freeheit, who's had videos, multiple, pulled from YouTube, multiple, challenged by Facebook, but never by Rumble.
	Lie, lie, lie.
	One video, reinstated, remonetized, none challenged by Facebook.
	And by the way, the kicker in the teeth for W5CTV, Kevin Newman, I only uploaded the Alex Jones deposition to Rumble.
	In November 2020?
	I only uploaded that one a year and a half after it was reinstated on YouTube, so there would have never been anything for Rumble to verify or to have an obligation to verify in that video, which was pulled and reinstated on YouTube.
	But this is how they cover up their lies and deceit.
	Stealth edits.
	And then someone on Twitter was like, well, didn't they do what you asked?
	No, they didn't.
	A stealth edit to the digital version with no...
	This specific correction and retraction from the broadcast version is strictly useless.
	The people who watched it on TV are not going to see the digital YouTube version.
	They're going to be left with the lies, defamatory misinformation that W5, CTV, and Kevin Newman leveled against me in a piece that they were using to accuse Rumble of misinformation.
	By the way, I still consider it a win because they've just admitted their wrongdoing.
	But they didn't correct it.
	Which might be a double win for me because it's a double wrong for them.
	I've asked them.
	I've emailed.
	We'll see what happens.
	You'll know.
	Next episode of W5, next Saturday night, because the people who watch W5 on a Saturday night are not paying attention to YouTube, they better make sure that they clarify.
	I'll script it for you.
	Kevin Newman, if you're watching.
	W5 CTV.
	In our original broadcast, we wrongly suggested that Viva Frey, David Freyheit, you can pronounce my name right, David Freyheit, had several videos pulled from YouTube or challenged by Facebook.
	In fact, that statement was factually incorrect.
	David Freyheit has never had any videos challenged by Facebook, and he had exactly one video pulled by YouTube, which was subsequently reinstated about 18 months before that same video was published on Rumble.
	That's how you could say it.
	If you want to borrow my words, I won't even charge you for that legal advice.
	Because that is legal advice.
	You better, on your W5, issue a proper correction and a proper retraction that, notwithstanding what we said last week, David Freiheit has never had multiple videos pulled from YouTube and challenged by Facebook.
	It was a mistake.
	We apologize.
	We will do better in the future.
	And do better than a stealth edit to a digital version and try to play me like a buffoon.
	Okay, with that said, I'm not in the business of suing, and if they don't do it, what damages?
	They're just proving why they are fake news liars.
	That's all they're doing.
	He's had videos pulled by YouTube and challenged by Facebook.
	No!
	No!
	Do your damn research before you try to turn me into a vehicle to defame another entity.
	You are the misinformation you accuse others of.
	W5, CTV, Kevin Newman.
	And the only thing you can do right now is either save face or potentially mitigate your damages.
	What are my damages?
	I don't know.
	I would go for nominal damages.
	Because what you did will leave any elderly person who watches on television.
	I'm not trying to be mean or demographically targeted here.
	We know which demographics watch television on a Saturday night.
	I don't even have television connected in my house anymore.
	So just do that.
	That's all I ask.
	And then we have no problem.
	Kevin Newman, CTVW5.
	I'm going to clip this and put it as a highlight on my second channel, Viva Cliffs.
	Okay.
	But I guess it's a sign of having made it when Legacy Media tries to run a hit piece on you.
	And by the way, that's the best they could do.
	I spoke with Kevin Newman for an hour and a half in my living room, and that's the best they got on me.
	Yep, it's good to be honest.
	If you have integrity, nothing else matters.
	And if you don't have integrity, nothing else matters.
	That about does it, I think, everyone, for the evening.
	Let me just...
	So, I mean, that about does it.
	Why do I see this thing in my screen which I don't like?
	Okay, it went away.
	They are facilitating the misinformation in the government.
	There's no question about that.
	And then they wonder.
	You know, they accused me of live-streaming...
	Without a filter.
	And they thought that that was a bug and not a feature.
	Yeah, I live streamed without a filter.
	If I saw a Yahtzee flag or a Confederate flag, I wouldn't have edited it out.
	When I saw the graffiti, which was like red, looked like lipstick on a monument, I went up to it.
	Because that was it.
	No filter.
	Good or bad, no filter.
	So, yeah, that's it.
	This has been a magnificent look.
	So we'll see what the vote is tomorrow.
	I'm sick to my stomach.
	I'm telling you this sincerely.
	I know someone who's watching who emailed me and said, Viva, if I could detect correctly, I thought you were on the verge of tears last night.
	I was.
	I am.
	And I'm struggling to keep my own optimism because I cannot project optimism if I do not feel optimism.
	And I don't feel optimism these days.
	I thought...
	The House of Commons would have not a good conscience.
	I'm not trying to shame them.
	I thought they would have the good sense, the moral decency, and the intellectual honesty to call it what it was.
	Yes, it was a nuisance.
	It was loud for the first four days.
	It was an inconvenience.
	It was a disruptive protest.
	An insurrection.
	It was not overthrowing the government.
	It was not a siege.
	It was not an occupation.
	Nobody was running around threatening, assaulting people with face masks.
	No one was intimidating people with face masks.
	No one from the convoy was defecating on residential property front porches.
	Nobody.
	And when they start getting out there and saying that, it's collective lying at the highest level of government.
	And it's an absolute stomach-turning disgrace.
	Okay, well, maybe I should.
	Maybe next time next year there will be another little baby viva fly.
	We'll see.
	No, we'll see.
	So I'm not optimistic.
	I'm sick to my stomach.
	I'm distressed.
	I'm upset.
	I haven't eaten dinner.
	I'm going to go eat dinner after this.
	But we'll see.
	The Senate can save the semblance of decency in Canadian politics.
	And then even if they don't, because I'm not optimistic.
	Hold on.
	Oh, that was the wrong side.
	I already did that side.
	Even if they don't, nobody heard anything.
	Even if they don't, there are court challenges.
	The court can come and save this.
	Even if they don't, I think it's an absolute, shocking, disgusting outrage that the government would freeze bank accounts of the truckers who participated, promoted, or parked their cars in this protest on Wellington.
	I think that's a shocking outrage.
	It's an abuse of due process.
	It's an abuse of...
	It's an abuse all around.
	You want to arrest them, charge them, make them post some sort of bond for damages?
	Go ahead.
	Trying to starve hardworking people who have already been starved virtually to death in the first place that drove them to this desperation?
	You want to crush them a little more?
	Shocking and horrifying.
	And I'm not saying that horrifying to be verbose, hyperbolic, or lofty.
	It's horrifying.
	You freeze truckers' bank accounts because they parked their cars on Wellington for three weeks?
	Who did that disrupt except for Parliament?
	But it didn't even disrupt Parliament because you guys got to office.
	Because you have a backdoor entrance and everybody knows about it.
	But no, no, go ahead.
	Forget due process.
	Forget liability.
	Forget responsibility.
	Immunize your henchmen to freeze with liability.
	Immunity from civil liability.
	That's not justice.
	You know, that is injustice.
	Otto Warmbier, who was convicted by the North Korean courts, he had a trial.
	And it was as much of a joke of justice as this.
	It might even be less of a joke, because at least he had a trial before he was sentenced to 13 years hard labor for stealing a...
	What are the things when you get a memorabilia?
	For stealing something from a government hotel.
	At least he had a trial before he was sentenced to 13 years.
	Trudeau and his liberal government didn't even waste time with the trial.
	Just seize it.
	Seize it.
	Starve them.
	Destroy them.
	Crush them.
	Because they parked their cars on Parliament Hill and embarrassed you for three weeks.
	But everyone else, anyone who has definitive evidence that someone had a bank account frozen strictly for donating to the charity...
	Strictly for donating to the registered not-for-profit.
	I want to see it, and I will rage about it, and I will make it public, and I will make it known.
	Until then, the tweet from that guy, I want to believe it, but I will believe it only when I see the evidence.
	Okay.
	What else?
	So we'll see.
	Look, I'll come back tomorrow.
	We have a sidebar tomorrow night with Barnes.
	I actually forget who it is, and I apologize for that.
	There's too many things going on, but I'll see if I can go live tomorrow during the Senate vote.
	Despite everything that I've been doing here, tremendous amount of stuff going on in the background, literally and spiritually, that is also exquisitely stressful, but no rest for the wicked, and you can't ignore the revolution as it's happening, and you cannot give it as much...
	Sunshine, sunlight as it deserves, as it needs.
	It has to happen.
	I was on Steve Bannon War Room this afternoon and this morning.
	I'm going to do my best to go on international platforms to shed the light.
	But other than that, I've already had one, Mark.
	I'll have another one.
	But I've already had one.
	It's atrocious.
	Can they prevent Stop the Vote by not having quorum?
	I don't know.
	I'd have to look.
	I don't know.
	So that's it.
	We'll see what happens tomorrow.
	Thank you everyone for everything.
	Clip whatever you want.
	Share whatever you want.
	Wherever you want.
	Please do it.
	It is more important that this gets out.
	No copyright asserted.
	Go.
	Yeah.
	And I'm not worried for myself.
	I have my irrational fears and then I have my rational fears.
	My irrational fears are that they'll try to...
	Freeze my bank account because of my donation prior to the Emergencies Act declaration to a registered not-for-profit with a stated objective that was approved by the government that I approved of.
	That's my irrational fear.
	Then every fear hides a wish.
	Let them do it.
	You have any idea what would happen if they start doing that?
	If they thought this was bad publicity?
	To actually start freezing bank accounts of strides and effect, to say that.
	But then, what they're doing already is absolutely over the top in and of itself.
	They're using the Emergencies Act as a prospective measure, not as a reactionary measure.
	And that is, you don't have to be a senator or a member of parliament to know that that is not what it was for.
	Irrational fears are those.
	Rational fears, I am witnessing my country disintegrate before my very eyes.
	That's my rational fear.
	And I'm watching a lot of the people who I know, who I know are, I won't say reasonable, because I don't think they're being reasonable right now.
	I know a lot of people who I have liked, who I've known well for years, saying, fuck them.
	I don't like those truckers.
	All right.
	See what happens the next time daycare professionals want to protest for better conditions, better air quality.
	See what happens the next time unionized workers want to protest.
	See what happens the next time Black Lives Matter wants to protest.
	Do it.
	Just don't do it the way the government doesn't like.
	Because they'll seize your bank accounts.
	Indigenous protesters, I had no problem with the protests.
	I had no problem with the court getting an injunction.
	I had an issue with the authorities not enforcing the injunction.
	There was never a question of calling in the Emergencies Act.
	There was never a question of freezing their bank accounts in the absence of a trial.
	And by the way, if I ever am a hypocrite, call me out and soundbite what I said to what I'm saying.
	If I ever...
	Do that.
	Okay.
	Sandra McElroy, Sandy's friendly feathered friend.
	Thank you very much.
	And by the way, it's amazing.
	We're watching it also in America.
	Dismantling freedoms.
	Under the guise of your protection.
	All right.
	Go tune into Zot.
	Zot's live.
	I think Zot is live.
	And someone just said prayers, Viva.
	Don't prayer for me.
	I don't need prayers.
	Prayer for Canada and prayers for humanity.
	This is not...
	Hyperbolic.
	You're giving the government carte blanche to extrajudicially freeze banks.
	Let's just say what it is.
	Starve people out of home and starve people to death.
	The people in that convoy, but for their network and community, cannot buy food, cannot buy medication, cannot pay their mortgages, cannot pay rent.
	That's what they're doing.
	No court order!
	No due process and immunizing the banks for having done it.
	I don't care who it is.
	I don't care who it is or what they're accused of.
	That is not any form of justice.
	That is not any form of free and democratic society.
	And you think you get a conviction against somebody who you've deprived of raising funds for a defense and you think that's a legitimate conviction?
	You may as well acquit them.
	Okay.
	Dude, what's going on with the sound?
	The sound is not off.
	With that said, hope for the best, plan for the worst.
	I'm not happy and I'm not optimistic with the way I see Canada going.
	If this goes, if the Senate votes the way these parrots look like they're going to vote, you've got court challenges.
	The JCCF is doing God's work.
	You've got Brian Peckford challenging the federal mandates.
	You've got civil rights, liberties, whatever, civil rights associations filing suit.
	I don't have faith in the courts either.
	What I do hope is that people are waking up to what's going on.
	This is not a Canada that anyone can tolerate.
	It's not because you don't like these people that you can tolerate injustice against them.
	If you tolerate injustice against people you hate, it is only a matter of time before you will be tolerating injustice against...
	People that you do not hate.
	And it's only a matter of time before you will be the object of that injustice.
	And then someone right behind you is saying, I hate you, so you get what you deserve.
	So think about that.
	Thank you all for the super chats.
	Thank you all for the support.
	Thank you for everything.
	Share, clip, share, and share.
	And with that said, stay tuned for another short notice live stream.
	We might have one tomorrow.
	We have a sidebar tomorrow night.
	And I'm going to eat dinner.
	And then...
	Say hi to my wife.
	Thank you all.
