Video Transcript AI Summary
At Bastards Barbecue, a patron with wool in her hair is denied entry: "they won't let me in because of my dreadlocks." She adds, "I paid $60 and drove all the way from New West" and had driven from Headley, staying overnight. Staff reference that "the poster forfeit was included when you bought your ticket" and cite an "appropriation policy" that prevents her entry. She argues, "I am Viking. Vikings have dreads," and later, "I braided my hair and it does not look like dreadlock. It just looks like a giant thread." The staff offer a cash refund: "Here's your refund... There's $60 here," noting "You bought through Eventbrite." The exchange ends with the patron calling it discrimination, staff claiming it's the end of the road, and the refund delivered as cash, while entry remains denied.

I got discriminated against, drove over four hours, drove an hour from my house, and Speaker 1: now I can't get in in the Speaker 0: blazing heat, and I need to pee really bad. Speaker 2: So Okay. Speaker 0: How about this? You know what? You guys wanna make me look ugly after I put all this fucking effort into my hair? Okay. This is what we're gonna do. I guess we're gonna take our fucking hair out, and we're gonna look like a total fucking dork for the whole event. Honestly, the way this has I wanna take my hair out because I wanna come in. My friends are Speaker 1: in here. At this point, though, we're not gonna let you in. Speaker 0: Why? Because of the belligerent attitude. I'm not being belligerent. You guys are not being fair. You do want to respect the rule. I'm here at Sure. I'll respect the rules. I'll take my hair out. Speaker 1: But at this point beyond that at this point. Yeah. We've already had Speaker 0: Oh, beyond that. Can I at least use the bathroom? I need to pee. Is that what the security check was when I got here? Was you checking to see if I could come in and grabbing your paper? As soon as you saw me, that was the Speaker 1: security check. You undo the Speaker 0: That was security check. As soon as I got here with dreadlocks in my hair, they're not even dreads. They're just fucking wool. They're wool. My hair is black. Maybe if I dyed my hair blonde and had blonde dreads, that'd be different. I have no idea right now, but I'm not getting into the event that I just fucking traveled all the way from Hadley to get home on time. Now they won't even let me take my dreads out. You guys let me know. Speaker 1: Was I the witch hunt? Speaker 0: I think I was pretty fucking nice Speaker 1: considering how I've been treated very Speaker 0: nice actually. Speaker 1: I'll be right there.

This video is THE BEST. It's like a real life SNL skit. So many nuggets of gold, too — from the "blue haired manager" to Crystal calling herself "a retard" and then following it up with "I can call myself whatever I want." Every time I watch it I feel I catch something new.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

Many questions in the replies about how the Birdhouse's "Cultural Appropriation Policy" works exactly. So detailed, elaborate, and thorough, it has to exist as its own policy, nested within the larger "Code of Conduct Policy." Here is that policy first—(and yes, this is real):

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

BIRDHOUSE CODE OF CONDUCT! We have a zero tolerance policy for physical or verbal violence in the space. 1. Consent is Mandatory: Always obtain explicit consent before engaging in any physical contact or interaction with another person, including performers and staff. Respect personal boundaries. If someone expresses discomfort or asks you to stop, do so immediately. 2. Zero Tolerance for Oppressive Behaviours: We have a strict zero-tolerance policy for any form of oppressive behaviour, including but not limited to misogyny, racism, body shaming, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any other behaviours or attitudes that contribute to an unsafe or unwelcoming environment. Use inclusive and respectful language. Avoid making assumptions about other people’s genders and pronouns. 3. No Cultural Appropriation: We are an anti-racist space, and we do not tolerate cultural appropriation. Cultural appropriation refers to the nonconsensual wearing or utilising of culturally significant and/or sacred elements of a culture that you do not have ancestry or genuine, meaningful relationships within. Cultural appropriation, especially in relation to consumption, profit, capitalism and social capital is a form of theft and causes harm to marginalised communities. Please refrain from wearing others' cultures as costumes or fashion. This includes avoiding the use of traditionally black cultural hairstyles if you do not identify as Black or Black mixed race. We ask that attendees do not attend events if they have culturally appropriative hairstyles or clothing on. Please respect the need for Birdhouse staff to approach people who they think may be causing harm with cultural appropriation. For full policy see here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Jwme3pYpna_L1WQkCnFIMrqO9gkFI1Q751rC7TWutLA/edit?usp=sharing 4. No Harassment: Harassment against staff or other guests will not be tolerated at the Birdhouse. Harassment includes verbal or physical abuse, threats, derogatory remarks, inappropriate jokes, taunts about appearance or beliefs, unwanted attention, intimidation, bullying, or any behaviour that creates an uncomfortable environment for another person. 5. Help Create a Safer and Inclusive Space: We ask that guests take responsibility for understanding their own privileges, and how their actions may impact others. Be mindful of how you take up space, both physically and verbally. Foster an atmosphere of respect and consideration for all attendees. Help us uphold our values around inclusion and mutual respect by maintaining open-mindedness towards others’ cultures, perspectives, and backgrounds. Refrain from making assumptions or judgments based on someone’s appearance. Treat all individuals with kindness and respect. 7. Be Respectful of Staff: Please treat our staff with dignity and respect. Remember that this is their workplace, and that they are equally as deserving of a safer, respectful, and inclusive experience as guests are. Ongoing mistreatment of staff will result in a warning, removal from the venue, and you may not be permitted to return. 8. Report Incidents: If you witness or experience any violations of this code of conduct, please report them to venue staff or security. We are committed to addressing concerns promptly and ensuring the safety and well-being of all attendees, artists, and staff. By attending events at The Birdhouse, you agree to abide by this Code of Conduct. Failure to adhere to the Guest Code of Conduct may result in a warning, or removal from the venue, and you may not be permitted to return. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us make the Birdhouse a welcoming and inclusive space for all!

And here, for your convenience, is the policy-within-a-policy. It has two titles and is extremely detailed — (and yes, it is also real): Cultural Appropriation at The Birdhouse (Newest Version) The Birdhouse Cultural Appropriation Policy Overview The Birdhouse is committed to creating an anti-racist environment. We recognize that racism does not only present itself in the form of slurs, hate speech and physical violence, but that it can often show up in more covert ways through microaggressive behaviours such as cultural appropriation. Cultural appropriation is the unacknowledged or inappropriate adoption of culturally significant and/or sacred elements of a culture's aesthetics, or practices by members of another typically more dominant group that does not have an ancestral connection to the culture. Cultural appropriation, especially in relation to consumption, profit, and social capital is a form of theft and causes harm to marginalized communities. Cultural exchange is different from cultural appropriation. When different cultures come together on an equal footing, exchange happens. When dominant groups take from an oppressed group, we’re dealing with appropriation. Additionally, it is not the same as assimilation, which is when marginalized people adopt elements of the dominant culture as a survival tactic where their differences are persecuted. Cultural appropriation typically results in the applause or celebration of the ‘appropriator’, in contrast with the persecution or mockery of those who have practiced the customs culturally and historically. Intentions To make clear our firm stance against racism in all its forms To provide a safe and inclusive space for racialized community members To recognize the ongoing harm caused by cultural appropriation To uplift the voices and concerns of racialized folks, especially those who identify as LGBTQ+ To establish clear and non-negotiable guidelines around participation in our space To use our platform and privilege to continually hold space for conversations around racism, microaggressions and cultural appropriation The Process The Birdhouse policy on cultural appropriation is shared on our online ticketing platforms so as to provide attendees with an opportunity to review said policy before arriving at the event. If an individual shows up at an event wearing a culturally appropriative hairstyle, clothing item, etc. a member of the Birdhouse team will approach them to engage in conversation. given the noise levels of our events, this could mean stepping outside or into a private area The Birdhouse team member will explain or offer a reminder of this policy to the individual without making assumptions about the person’s race and giving the individual an opportunity to respond, clarify or express their feelings In the event that the individual does not choose, or is not able, to remove the culturally appropriative hairstyle or clothing item, they will be asked to leave the space for the remainder of the event The individual is welcome to return to the venue on a different occasion provided they are no longer engaging in cultural appropriation. The Birdhouse is committed to the ongoing education and the unlearning of racism, as such, we are open to continuing conversations, outside of the space, with those who do not understand the policy or our decisions. Additional Information The Birdhouse recognizes that cultural appropriation is a complicated issue. As such, all conversations around cultural appropriation will be approached with compassion, respect, and space for growth, while still retaining the severity and integrity of the above guidelines. We encourage those engaging in cultural appropriation to resist instincts of defensiveness, knowing this conversation is not personal, but rather, a societal pattern. Calling in cultural appropriation is an exercise of community accountability and growth.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

It goes on...: Examples of Cultural Appropriation include but are not limited to: Bindis and Saris: Non-South Asian individuals wearing bindis or saris in contexts unrelated to South Asian culture or traditions, such as music festivals or costume parties. Native American Headdresses: Wearing Native American headdresses as fashion accessories. Dreadlocks, Cornrows, Boxbraids: Non-Black individuals wearing hairstyles that are deeply rooted in Black culture and history, often without acknowledgment and sometimes leading to these styles being perceived as "trendy" when worn by non-Black people, despite the discrimination Black people may face for wearing the same styles. Cultural Appropriation Specific to Black Hairstyles CW: Anti-Black racism and misogynoir Though the above process holds true for any, and all, forms of cultural appropriation, the prevalence of discrimination on the basis of hair among Black folks, coupled with the all too common occurrence of non-Black folks wearing Black hairstyles merits specific focus. The relationship between white supremacy and Black hair dates back to the 1700s in Louisiana with the enactment of the Tignon Laws which required Black women to cover their hair with a tignon (a head scarf). Though those laws were abolished in the 1800s the systemic marginalization of Black folks, and in particular Black women and femmes, on the basis of hair persisted. Today, there is a great inequity in the status accorded to Black hairstyles in mainstream society, where they are considered “cool” and “fashionable” on one hand, when worn by non-Black folks, and considered “unclean” and “unprofessional” when worn by Black folks. Therefore we ask that; Attendees respect the need for Birdhouse staff to approach people who they think may be causing harm by appropriating Black hairstyles Attendees understand that they may be approached by a Black or non-Black Birdhouse staff member or volunteer to engage in a conversation Attendees enter into conversations with empathy for Black folks who experience harm when witnessing seemingly non-Black people appropriating Black culture Attendees do not justify their appropriative choice with excuses like ‘I got it done on holiday in Jamaica’ or ‘my partner is Black’. Attendees trust this process that we have created in consultation with Black community members Attendees recognize that within the systems we inhabit, all systems are flawed, but that we are trying our best to uplift, celebrate and hold sacred those most marginalized among us Attendees understand this is a venue-wide policy and violence or verbal attacks against individual staff members could result in a long-term ban

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

And then, finally, to cap it all off, some really fascinating self-reflection... (and citations, of course): What harm does it cause if white and non-Black people of colour wear Black hairstyles or appropriate Black culture? People who are not Black do not experience daily anti-Blackness that can come in the form of microaggressions, erasure, racial slurs, physical violence, police brutality and murder. Black folks living in Vancouver still experience anti-Blackness as well as the impacts of intergenerational trauma as descendants of enslaved and colonized peoples. Many hairstyles created by Black communities over centuries come from a place of strife and struggle - giving these hairstyles deep, sacred and emotional meaning to Black people. When someone who has not experienced any form of anti-Blackness or intergenerational anti-Black trauma wears a Black hairstyle, the deeper meaning is lost and the act becomes a mockery. Blackness is not a costume that can be tried on. Also, when non-Black people, especially white people, wear Black hairstyles or engage in traditions developed by the Black community, they are often applauded and celebrated. Simultaneously, Black people are mocked, denied jobs, excluded from schools, beaten up, shamed, touched, violated and have their hair forcibly cut simply because of the hair that grows from their heads or the sacred styles they choose to shape it into. This double standard further exacerbates the harm caused by cultural appropriation.

I have a theory about the last Canadian election that might not sit well with some. The conservative crowd, including myself, has been fragmented and unkind in recent years. While we've been right about many issues, the infighting has overshadowed our message. Instead of presenting a cohesive front, we’ve devolved into disconnected grievances. The Conservative Party could have done better, but we also hindered ourselves by criticizing them relentlessly. Ultimately, our inability to be kind to one another contributed to our loss.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

"My theory on the last Cdn Election: You won't like it." Canadian "conservatives" of all stripes—be it "right of centre, small 'c,' big 'C,' whatever—haven't been very kind over the last few years. And, yes, I'm talking about you 🫵 — so please take this very personally. A 🧵.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

1/ To the "conservative/right wing" creator crowd (which I guess I'm a part of now): up until this point, you've been right about absolutely everything. You were right about lockdowns, about vaccines, about the Convoy—you even correctly predicted the U.S. election. Good on ya! https://t.co/zaRtX3tBnD

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

2/ But Trump came and went, the Canadian election came along, and everyone started infighting like we're at a Greek wedding. By contrast, Carney’s crowd—a big tent housing the CBC, the legacy media and elbows people—marched in uniform with centrist technocrat LinkedIn-discipline. https://t.co/shdOFzMIFc

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

3/ Conservative influencers, meanwhile, showed up for open-mic night at Madison Square Rumble: one guy going off incessantly about Canada becoming 51st state, one on why the Joe Rogan podcast will determine the success of Poilievre's campaign, another about Alberta independence. https://t.co/VSF0sC1nQf

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

4/ There was often no message. Just vibes. Disconnected, contradictory, sometimes delusional vibes. Poilievre says "cut taxes." Cool. But Frei says he's not anti-woke enough. Tisdale calls for Canada to be annexed. Marty and Clyde are talking Alberta independence.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

5/ I'm not trying to be a dick—I'm a part of the same crowd I'm criticizing—just self-reflective. Instead of cohesion, the "very right-wing" digital scene—as Rosie Barton and David Cochrane would likely describe us—provided people a mushroom trip of incoherent grievance politics. https://t.co/rWgHIyuPRI

6/ Could CPC have done better? Of course. Did they make mistakes? Certainly. Could they have been friendlier to the independent media cohort? Probably. But the content creators didn't do themselves any favours by criticizing the CPC every step of the way this election either.

7/ Perhaps it's the curse of knowing too much. The boomers collectively and unitedly backed the Liberals because they proudly understood nothing—just muttered “Trump, Carney banker, steady hand, RRSPs” and voted. Meanwhile, the CPC influencer crowd were busy fingering each other over who had the correct conspiracy about nomination races, Max Bernier, Davos, Khalistan, U.S. podcasts, CCP-influence, fentanyl, immigration—or who did or didn't like Donald Trump too much or not enough.

8/ The reason we lost is simple: because we couldn't be nice—not even to eachother.

BREAKING: "Please don't push me. Don't push me, please don't push me." CBC shamelessly manufactures another on-air "assault" involving scary "right wing people." I wouldn't believe it had I not been implicated—myself—in a different CBC Jussie Smollett hoax just last week. https://t.co/uUDIJ7vKCF

The question I planned for Mark Carney the English debate was: "Do you regret recommending the Trudeau government unconstitutionally freeze bank accounts during COVID?" When he brought in the riot police to remove us last night, I very conveniently got my answer. https://t.co/EdBSUzO1y5

"Canada is FUBAR" - FULL COMPLETE VERSION https://t.co/O7jzutFaBe

Video Transcript AI Summary
Canadians stepped up to protect each other during the pandemic by getting vaccinated. A small minority with unacceptable views headed to Ottawa, but they don't represent most Canadians. We have no intent to stay in Ottawa longer than necessary. I went to an overpass and saw a huge number of people waving flags. I decided to head to Ottawa and jumped in to help. We started small, meeting with truckers, and eventually set up a media stage. Mainstream media is untrustworthy, full of misinformation and lies. Given Canada's support for Ukraine, there's concern Russian actors could be fueling or instigating the protests. Everything filmed downtown blew up because people wanted to see what's really happening.

Speaker 0: It's scary to see what's happening. Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a liberal and a proud socialist, mister speaker. Speaker 2: Advice. I said that if you actually say it louder, we would in the house Speaker 3: of office. If you repeat it, if Speaker 2: you say it louder, if that is your spotty point, Speaker 4: people will totally believe it. Speaker 5: Is that Speaker 0: It's important to underline that close to ninety percent of truckers in this country are vaccinated, like close to ninety percent of Canadians. Over the past many months and years now, Canadians have stepped up to protect each other, to protect our frontline workers, to protect our elders, to protect our young people. Canadians have stepped up to do the right thing to protect the freedoms and the rights of Canadians to get back to the things we love to do. We know the way through this pandemic is by getting everyone vaccinated. Speaker 6: Live. How late is it here right now? It is 09:51PM. Speaker 0: And the overwhelming majority, close to ninety percent of Canadians have done exactly that. The small fringe minority of people who are on their way to Ottawa or who are holding unacceptable, views Alright. Welcome back, guys Speaker 6: and girls. Speaker 0: That they're expressing do not represent the views of Canadians who have been there for each other, who know that following the science and stepping up to protect each other is the best way to continue to ensure our freedoms, our rights, our values as a country. Speaker 2: Let me assure the people of Ottawa that we have no intent to stay one day longer than necessary. Speaker 7: I went out to an overpass like many people did, and I went and stood on the overpass. I heard that people were gonna be there, and, there was a couple hundred people there, and I was blown away right from the start. I was just there waving a flag, and I saw the shed truck go by on the way to Ottawa, thinking like, hey, that looks cool. But I decided I gotta head to Ottawa, like many others. So I headed down to Wellington Street. I wanted to get involved and to help, so I started jumping in trucks. And one of the first trucks I jumped into was the shed truck. I started working, sort of basing out of the shed became our little base of operations, and we were trying pull people together. We started off meeting with maybe half a dozen truckers from that area at the start and everyone was equally confused as to what was going on. Someone got the bright idea to stick a Speaker 4: a platform up on the top Speaker 7: of the truck and serve as, a media stage. And that evolved into getting people up there, like, doing interviews. So there was a a group of us who were doing, like, just little Instagram videos and whatnot. Police is taking a picture for his Instagram or for an investigation. Speaker 8: I don't know. Speaker 7: Don't trust the mainstream media. We wanna know what's really going on. And I saw so much misinformation from mainstream media, just downright lies that were being presented by the news. So that was just further inspiration. Speaker 9: I Speaker 2: do ask that because, you know, given Canada's support of Ukraine in this current crisis with Russia, I don't know if it's far fetched to ask, but but there is concern that Russian actors could be continuing to fuel things, as this as this protest grows, but perhaps even instigating it from from the outset. Speaker 10: I'm gonna defer to, our partners in the public safety, the trained officials and experts in that area. Speaker 3: The CBC's coverage of Freedom Convoy is overwhelmingly negative. No way. It's completely negative. If you go on the c b c dot c a's website and you search for Freedom Convoy, you'll find 1,740 articles. Speaker 7: Everything, as people will know, that everything that was filmed downtown just started, like, blowing up because everyone wanted to see what is really happening here. Speaker 1: What are you talking about truckers? Speaker 11: I haven't seen anything on the news. I'm like, you haven't seen anything? I haven't seen anything on the news. Speaker 1: You don't know what's going on with truckers? No. I read Wall Street Journal and New York Times. I know nothing about what's going on in Canadian truckers. Speaker 11: In Justin Trudeau But he was talking about people who are not vaccinated. He said they don't believe in science. They're often misogynistic, often racist. No. They're not. Speaker 12: Really, the world, that this story is getting attention. And and this is the Ottawa that people, again, Speaker 4: around Speaker 12: the world are seeing where there are protesters. Speaker 13: It's a giant convoy of trucks. That's apparently some insane amount of people, like 50,000 trucks that are headed to Ottawa to protest the vaccine mandates. Speaker 12: And and they're all coming from Canada because Speaker 0: they're all out Speaker 14: of the commits. Speaker 13: They're all in Canada. It's all Canadian truckers. Speaker 11: He said, but they take up space. And with that, we have to make a choice in terms of a leader as a country. Do we tolerate these people? It's like, tolerate it? Now you do sound like him. That's Speaker 13: It's all Canadian truckers. Because apparently, they're they're all being mandated that they have to get vaccinated, and they're like, hey. We don't even contact anybody. We're in our truck. Speaker 11: Like, we Speaker 1: That's true. Speaker 13: We just drive. Speaker 12: With me now is Jim Watson. He is the mayor of Ottawa. Mister mayor, so glad you could be with us. What are you bracing for today? Speaker 15: Yeah. The people of Ottawa have been more than patient. With these protesters, as you pointed out, they've really hurt their cause tremendously by going and taking free meals from the Shepherds of Good Hope, a soup kitchen for the homeless. Speaker 8: I'm from Ottawa. I'm here at the Shepherds of Good Hope. It's a homeless shelter and kitchen, and we had so much excess food from the trucker convoy that we have brought a truckload of food down. Speaker 15: Know, urinating on the the two of the unknown soldier dancing on it. Speaker 1: So here what there's one last question. Are you guys staying here twenty four seven all my time? Okay. To garden this? And also, all Speaker 8: the time? Yeah. Speaker 1: So you guys are you guys are going to guard this now. That's what we were eating before. Speaker 8: And we had so much excess food from Trucker Convoy that we have brought a truckload of food down here to to donate, and I just wanted to share this with everyone. Speaker 15: And it's very difficult to actually find out who exactly is running this this show. Because you've made your point. You've had your speeches. It's time to move on. Speaker 14: You know, people don't understand that the mainstream media is saying it's a couple of truckers talking about, you know, the unvaccinated truckers that can't cross the border. Speaker 4: This is a hell Speaker 14: of a lot more for than that. I don't care if you're vaccinated or unvaccinated. This is about freedom. Freedom of choice. I want my child to be able to go to university without having to be vaccinated. It's his choice. It's his right. It's his freedom. I'm also fighting for the nurses that have been fired. A lot of posts on Facebook going around support the nurses and the and the doctors, the frontline workers. Well, exactly. That's why we're here. A lot of them have been fired because of freedom of conscience, freedom of religion. They don't want to be oppressed, and they've lost their jobs. We're also fighting for the children. The children who are going to school, and there's a 300% increase in speech impediment because a child needs to be able to see their teacher's face. People are just not understanding why we're here. We're fighting for the children who've never had a birthday party. We're fighting for the children who don't understand what it's like to live a life without a mask. That has not been normal. This is the new normal. This is the Canada I grew up in. This is the kind of Canada that I love and that I believe. Speaker 16: Take it you know that when the protesters arrived on January 28 up to February 1, that the evidence to date is that they were largely and completely peaceful and that there was little to no violence. Do you agree with that? Speaker 17: And and and again, I I think I I think there might have been isolated incidents and and frankly, I also believe, carrying of hateful symbols like a Nazi flag, is is in many ways causing fear, and it is a form of violence and intimidation against people who who who would be caused caused to be very fearful about such symbols in their community. Speaker 1: And so I Speaker 0: know you're wondering about what you saw in our capital city this weekend. Freedom of expression, assembly, and association are cornerstones of democracy, but Nazi symbolism, racist imagery, and desecration of war memorials are not. Speaker 9: It's like, what's happened? Welcome to the working class. Those truckers. Well, they're all white supremacists and racists. It's like, really in Canada. Are they now? White supremacists. Really? Speaker 10: The flying of confederate flags. The demonstration of swastikas on our Parliament Hill. Speaker 2: Speaker, I am not interested in speaking to somebody who waves a swastika. Speaker 18: People that are flat, you know, waving flags that have swastikas drawn on them. What have we seen? Speaker 3: We've seen swastikas. Speaker 18: We saw confederate flags. We saw swastikas. Speaker 3: Well, the swastikas is obviously a symbol of the third Reich. Speaker 1: It harkened back to Nazi Germany. But but we see, Speaker 19: for example, swastikas. The people Speaker 3: are flying the swastikas. Speaker 20: I'm compassionate to Jewish people who saw swastika and and Nazi flag. Speaker 9: Nazis in Canada. There aren't any of them. There was some dimwit was waving a confederate flag at the rally. All the mainstream press reported confederate flags at the trucker rally. Speaker 21: We are learning more tonight about the motivations of a trucker at the convoy in the capital last year who was at the center of a mystery that's now been solved. Speaker 22: This pickup was photographed flying a confederate flag, a symbol seen as an offensive reminder of slavery and racism. Speaker 9: It's not like there are a lot of Canadians, by the way, flying the confederate flag. First of all, that's not our country. Exactly. And second, most Canadians, I would say, don't really know in any deep sense what the confederate flag stands for. I mean, know, people aren't that informed and I'm I'm not being condescending. Speaker 22: The truck was spotted several more times over the first weekend. The identity of the driver unknown. The mystery pickup was in fact driven by a convoy supporter, not a saboteur. Speaker 23: I'm the one who had the truck and I didn't work for no government. Speaker 22: Maurice Landryeau is a roofer who sees nothing wrong with the image he displayed on his truck and on his cap. Speaker 23: They're telling me that it's it's racist and everything. Well, it's not racist. I go, what do get that? Like, you guys making it racist. Speaker 22: He first bought the flag three years ago to take to a concert by southern rock band Leonard Skinner. Speaker 23: I look at it as the rebel sign. It was always known as the rebel. Like, during the war, they were called the rebels. Speaker 6: Welcome, everyone. I'm back. Another livestream. We're here on King Edward Murray Street by the Shepherds of Good Hope, and we're about to go, check out day Speaker 24: four of protests. Day four of the takeover of the Ambassador Bridge here. Have a look at the bridge. So as of last night, no trucks are able to go into The United States. And for the last four days, no trucks have been able to come into Canada. That's the point of these protesters here. We do continue to see many of the semi trailers, but not all that many. There are more pickup trucks and other vehicles. And today, there are some additional people that have moved in just behind me here. Fake news. Speaker 14: Fake news. Fake. Speaker 24: Now the media is still not exactly welcome here, but compared to what we saw in Ottawa and in Toronto and what we saw here earlier, some people are actually watching the coverage. And one gentleman told us that he thinks that the coverage is actually fair. Speaker 25: You just do a piece on the news the other day? Speaker 24: I've been here. I've been doing it for weeks. Yeah. Speaker 25: Oh, I saw you. Yeah. I was watching you. Yeah. Is a man who's reporting the news. Right down the middle with no agenda. You're out here on the street reporting what's really going on. I am so proud of you. I wanna see more people like you. Speaker 24: Oh, that's the nicest thing anybody said in a while. Speaker 8: Thanks very much. Speaker 9: Like, there's too many out there Speaker 25: that are bringing the news, but they're bringing an agenda. Like, news people are supposed to bring us the news, and we're supposed to be smart enough Speaker 9: to figure out, okay. I heard this and Speaker 25: I heard that guy, but now I know where I'm gonna go. I can put Speaker 9: this together and figure out Speaker 25: the truth, and you're doing your job. I'm I was getting so depressed that are there any news people, paper, paper? Are are there any journalists left? Anybody who really wants to dig out the truth and put out the truth because that's what they live for, finding the truth. And I feel like you're you're one of the men's. You're doing it. Thanks very I'm so proud. Speaker 7: Alright. Thanks very much, sir. Thank you. Thanks very Speaker 25: Have Speaker 14: day. Speaker 26: Short It's it's for the greater good. We need you to wear two of these on your face. It's for the greater good. We need you to inject this into your body. It's for the greater good. We need you to spend the holidays alone. It's for the greater good. Speaker 27: You must inject this into your Speaker 10: When residents can't get to work, when they can't take their children to school, when they, seniors can't get around because public transportation can't get to them, when, people who live in apartment buildings, find that their front doors are locked and that fires are set, in the hallways and corridor. Speaker 28: The border Speaker 10: speaker, it is abs Speaker 24: Ernest Hemmuneet. We miss you, Matt. Speaker 28: That statement right there has been proven false. There is no connection to the protesters whatsoever. And for this minister suggest that Yeah. Is absolutely unacceptable of this committee. Speaker 15: Demonstrates the malicious intent of these protesters occupying our city. They proceeded to light fire starter bricks near the elevators before taping up the door handle so residents would struggle to get out during a fire. Speaker 18: It was shortly after 5AM Sunday when two men entered this Ottawa apartment building and started a fire. Speaker 2: I was up between three and five from the sounds of the honking. Speaker 29: This entire story was based on the tweet thread of a resident of the building named Matthias Munoz. Speaker 18: Matthias Munoz. This is a perfect example of Speaker 13: the situation that can arise. Speaker 30: As we see, hate speech, we see, illegal acts such as arson. Speaker 4: The incessant honking, Speaker 18: the arson attempt. Incessant honking. The arson attempts. Speaker 28: An attempted arson of a residential building. Speaker 3: We've seen the active sabotage of 911 emergency call lines and even an attempted arson. Speaker 18: Reports of attempted arson in some of the building. Speaker 3: And it certainly does not include arson or pushing into a residential apartment building and barricading Speaker 31: the exit. Conspiracy to murder attempted arson of a residential building. Speaker 32: Over the past three weeks, we Speaker 28: have watched assaults, attempted arson. Speaker 9: They have been living in fear, fear that their apartment buildings may be torched by arson. Speaker 31: Seen assaults, attempted arson. Speaker 3: There's been attempted arson with the attempt of handcuffing doors shut so that if a fire started, people would be burned alive and Speaker 9: Death threats and attempted arson. Speaker 4: A building had an attempted arson where the doors were taped shut. Speaker 20: Violence is commonplace. We saw an example of this violence, an attempted arson downtown of an apartment building where people started a fire. When they exited, they taped the door. Speaker 29: And just in case you were ridiculous enough to believe at the time that guy actually was associated with the freedom convoy as was alleged, well, it turns out he is. His name is Connor McDonald. He's been charged with five arson and mischief offenses. And, crucially, the police press release on his arrest says, quote, there is no information indicating McDonald was involved in any way with the convoy protest. Speaker 33: You just like wake up Speaker 1: and find the first person with Speaker 33: the flag and try and blame them for everything. Speaker 6: So it's not as busy as the weekend here. Speaker 0: I want to be very clear. We are not intimidated. The battle against COVID nineteen is still dominating so many parts of our lives. And this morning, I learned I I tested positive for COVID nineteen as well. I feel well and have no symptoms. Of course, I'll be working remotely this week. I wanna take this opportunity to remind Canadians to please get vaccinated. Speaker 34: There's a new trend on social media tonight. Hashtag where is Justin Trudeau? He and his family were moved to an undisclosed location because the white knight of democracy could not handle a protest. Speaker 1: Trudeau flees as trucker convoys enters Ottawa. Speaker 9: Yeah. Well, this Trudeau flees issue, that's Speaker 2: Let's be very clear how this all started. The prime minister decided to impose a vaccine mandate on truckers. There there no scientific proof or evidence that it was the right thing to do. Truckers opposed it. Canadians many Canadians opposed it, but he went ahead with it anyway. Truckers came to Ottawa, and us turned out, First of all, hid for a week. Speaker 9: Hiding by some champagne. Don't like that. It's not like I view that with any sense of satisfaction or or delight. Like, I'm not a fan of Trudeau because I don't think he's capable of saying an honest word. Speaker 2: And then he began to call them names and say that their opinion was unacceptable and we shouldn't tolerate these people. And that was about all he did. Where is Speaker 26: the process of dialer, leader of the opposition? Speaker 2: The prime minister calls people he disagrees with racist, misogynist. He spent the last month wedging, dividing, stigmatizing, and traumatizing Canadians. I understand the prime minister admires basic dictatorships, but let's remind the prime minister this is Canada. This is not a dictator. Speaker 34: Actually, forget dialogue. Why not release a statement or at least a tweet? It's not like Trudeau got logged out of the Internet. Speaker 35: In the last few minutes, we've also been hearing from the Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau. His wife has tested positive for coronavirus. He is now in isolation. Let's have a listen to him. Speaker 0: We are thinking about all the families across the country who've received the same diagnosis, but we're in good hands. We have full confidence in Canada's Health Officials and professionals. This means that upon my doctor's recommendation, I will remain in self isolation for fourteen days. I want to be clear, I have no symptoms and I'm feeling good. Speaker 36: We continue to follow the large scale protests against COVID-nineteen measures that have been persisting in Ottawa today with some breaking news. Ottawa Mayor Jim is declaring a state of emergency to give the city more flexibility to deal with the ongoing demonstrations that have overwhelmed local resources. Speaker 1: What was deemed as a Speaker 32: protest from the beginning is now seen as an uncontrollable occupation. Speaker 37: Our city is under siege. This group is emboldened by the lack of enforcement by every level of government. Speaker 18: Listen. I don't know if we should tell them this, mister speaker, but we cannot hear the honking in here. You don't hear a single thing, and this was all last week too. Speaker 14: I'm doing my act because I haven't slept in five fucking days. You Speaker 18: don't hear a single thing in here. You don't. Speaker 14: It has to fucking stop. The honking will continue until freedom improves. Speaker 18: And you almost forget that it's even happening until you get up and and and leave and go outside and you see it again. The member brought up my electric car. If he if he wants, we can talk about that for a while too, but Fuck you. Meanwhile, all of the activities that have been going on Speaker 38: You know, the scenes of the bouncy castles, the hot tubs, those other things, that's what happens on the weekend. Speaker 18: This protest has come here and just completely made the people that live here irate Speaker 9: Everybody needs a hug. Speaker 18: It's impacting the people that live here. Speaker 12: It's history in Canada, and this is an important thing for them to see. Speaker 18: They've made their point, and now it's time to dispense of the activities and to go home. Speaker 38: And that's what we heard from the public safety minister yesterday essentially saying they don't wanna see another weekend of parties and hot tubs on Monington Street. Speaker 37: I was just a guest this weekend that, you know, there's a bouncy castle and and there's a hot tub. David, I wanted to go up there and poke that hot tub myself and let the water flow out of it and unplug that damn bouncy castle. Speaker 32: The city of Ottawa is in day 10, and as of tonight, in a state of emergency where thousands have been clogging the streets, building a shelter, and nonstop noise can be heard around Parliament Hill. Ottawa Police took to Twitter today warning protesters that if demonstration supports are brought in, they may be arrested. Speaker 14: So in fact, yes, they are taking fuel right away from people, as they attempt to fuel their vehicles. Speaker 39: You take those cans off of that truck. Is that your property? It is now. Speaker 40: Ladies and gents, welcome back. So I didn't Canadians will never cease to amaze me at the cleverness when they're put in the position where they're not allowed to do something. Recently, in Ottawa, they're making it very difficult for people to get fuel to their trucks at the protest and started arresting people who were trying to bring fuel down to the truckers. So in response, we have here one of the greatest trolls in history will take place tomorrow. Speaker 14: If you Speaker 40: live in Ottawa, grab a jerry can and join the party. Everyone is going to be walking around with one in protest. You don't need gas, just the jerry can. So everyone's gonna be walking around like this. Exactly. And it already started last yesterday before the sun even went down. This is the scene in Ottawa. And what do the police do? And what do you do to that? Speaker 9: I've been watching them handle this. They're they're playing this. It's been very peaceful for for the number of people who are involved in the demonstration, and that's despite the potential effect of instigator types, and that's a real threat. They seem to be not taking the bait. And so I hope that that continues and that this proclivity to instigate, which would be extraordinarily convenient for mister Trudeau and which is an easy out for him. I'm praying that that doesn't happen. Speaker 2: So now that your Speaker 4: job is done, do you actually believe the stuff that you Speaker 2: say out of curiosity, or do you just kinda do the script that you're told to repeat? I'm just curious because you have destroyed my life, CBC. You you write a lot of hit pieces about me. My family has been doxxed. I've received death threats. Speaker 39: Yes. I doxxed the truckers. I did it. It was me. I had to give Sen go, baby, and I'd do it again. Speaker 2: And you've literally destroyed my life because I ask appropriate questions. Speaker 39: I do it a hundred times. I did it. I did it. Come at me. What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do to me? Speaker 2: And and the way that you twist the truth. And I have a six year old and a three year old, and kids have never Speaker 4: been happier than what has been created here. Why don't you show that truth? Do you see the smiles in the kids? Do you know what has been taken away from them these last two years? Do you know six year olds have told me they wanted to cut themselves and kill themselves? Kids wanna die because of the last two years. Why aren't you showing that? And now you're talking about kids' welfare safety? Speaker 1: You tell me right now. Are my kids in danger for being here? Should I send them on the first train out of town? Tell me now. It sounds like the Children's Aid Society is saying that they're get hurt. My kids are gonna get hurt. Because I'm to about what was happening in the city of Long your soul a long time ago, and you sold your soul a ago. I Speaker 4: Now you think kids should be taken from their parents out of these trucks? Speaker 1: Why are you coming here trying to act like you're concerned about kids? I'm here to to you about the here that are in my car. Are they in danger? Yes or no? Yes or no? I don't know what the future brings. I don't fuck yourself, though. I'm Speaker 4: You're working with welfare services? Speaker 8: What they're showing. They're like Speaker 4: But you're repeating it. You're repeating it, and people are believing it. Why do you think there's people out here counter protesting? Why do you think Winnipeg, someone drove down four protesters purposely and put them in critical care? Why do you think there's actually violence and hate happening? Do you know how divisive this is? Yeah. Is this actually Canada? Speaker 0: After discussing with cabinet and caucus, after consultation with premiers from all provinces and territories, after speaking with opposition leaders, the federal government has invoked the Emergencies Act. Speaker 41: Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth, pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette. While the wall to wall is calling, it lingers, but still you forget. You're a rock and roll suicide. Speaker 27: It is now time for people to go home, to take their trucks home, and to stop funding illegal blockades and Speaker 41: occupation. When you walk Speaker 1: Amen. Amen. Happiness. Speaker 9: Here comes the horses. Speaker 4: Hams. Speaker 14: Give me your hams. Speaker 11: I read a quote from Justin Trudeau, which was so dumb. And I just I Which one? What is he always dumb? I I you know? He always lies. It was something like, but when you use protest to to object to the policies of the government, I think you're going too far. Well, Speaker 24: what the fuck is protest for? Speaker 14: Alright, you chipmunks. Ready to sing your song? Alpha, blonde. Yeah. Let's fill it now. Okay, Simon. Okay. Okay, Theodore. Okay. Okay, Alvin. Speaker 0: Party looked at the Ottawa occupation, they thought, this is an expression of righteous anger, and we must support them. Liberals, we looked at a group of people with a written agreement to overthrow the government, and we said, great idea. Get Chuck Meade on the phone. I, myself, spent a lot of time this Speaker 9: year Speaker 0: surrounded by honking and wailing. I don't know what their deal was, but the geese and balloons at Harrington just wouldn't shut up. Speaker 28: Of course, Speaker 0: supply chain snarls and global inflation are hitting people hard. So we apologize if the meat was tough tonight or if you chip a tooth on a bread roll. Speaker 9: It was quite shocking, everything that happened in that protest because they seized the bank accounts of 200 Canadians, and that was not amusing. And Trudeau has no idea what that did to Canada's international reputation. Speaker 27: As of today, a bank or other financial service provider will be able to immediately freeze or suspend an account without a court order. Speaker 11: Okay. Wait. Go back. Mhmm. They seized the bank accounts of what? Two people were who were in the protest? Speaker 9: They seized some bank accounts of some people who only sent money to the protest. Speaker 36: As they invoke the Emergencies Act for the first time in Canadian history. But the question is, whose accounts can the government freeze? Speaker 9: So they didn't their credit cards. They froze their mortgage payments. They locked them out. So they locked them out of the financial system. Speaker 11: That is Speaker 9: creepy. It's really bad. Speaker 19: So you're confirming that accounts have been frozen, both personal and corporate. Speaker 9: It's really bad. Wait. It's always shocking. Accounts Speaker 27: have been frozen, and more accounts will be frozen. I Speaker 9: don't I don't Canadians aren't sufficiently shocked about it. Speaker 27: And that action is going to increase. Speaker 9: But partly because they don't really understand what that did to Canada's international reputation. Speaker 27: I could have said what I was trying to do was rally the bank CEOs. Like, don't let those guys say to you that Canada is a banana republic. We're a great country. Speaker 9: No trial. No real investigation. I can't imagine a politician doing anything more inappropriate than that. Plus, Trudeau claimed that the trucker convoy was financed by MAGA, you know, Republican Americans, which is completely preposterous because first of all, why would MAGA Republican Americans foment descent in Ottawa? Like, even if they knew where it was, which they don't, and they don't care and why would they? Speaker 42: That's true. The Canadian truckers, you've been reading about it. Who are resisting bravely these lawless mandates are doing more to defend American freedom than our own leaders by far. Speaker 4: But there they are, Speaker 32: and God bless them. God bless Stand beside them, Speaker 14: and we're all truckers. Truckers. And and and I hope something similar comes about in Speaker 21: The United States. Speaker 42: We want those great Canadian truckers to know that we are with them all the way. They are. They've really shown something. Speaker 26: Canada needs to stand up for their freedom. The mandates, they're they're total bull. Yay. Truckers. Woo hoo. Speaker 9: And then it was like literally mega Republican Americans funding the trucker protests in Ottawa. Well, what would your solution be to the Ambassador Bridge blockade, the Coutts Alberta blockade, the protest in Ottawa? What, in your view, is the Speaker 5: way to hit it? Speaker 42: We need Speaker 20: to stop the funds that are flowing in Speaker 40: from The United States. Very clearly, Speaker 9: foreign interference. So first of all, it was the Russian. You know, it's like, oh, yes. That's the Russians' primary concern. Speaker 31: Russia today covered the so called freedom convoy more closely than any other foreign outlet. But why? Speaker 19: Here's what you did to them. Speaker 31: One former FBI agent said Russia wants to see us, quote, tear ourselves apart. Speaker 19: Experts say Speaker 31: that when Russia saw the division around the so called freedom convoy, they couldn't resist but to fan the flames. Speaker 27: Built on our economic security. And if our economic security is threatened, all of our security is threatened. Speaker 0: I'll be blunt as well. Housing isn't a primary federal responsibility. Speaker 43: Here at the shelter in Mississauga. And, alright. This is exactly the spot where a young man from Nigeria died last week Wednesday. Speaker 44: A few days ago, I put a sorry. Let me start again. Should I say should I Sorry. I got my hands in my pockets. Should I do my normal hand talker thing? Give you more blooper reels here. Speaker 9: Very careful what you look. Speaker 1: Okay. Speaker 44: I'm gonna back it up. Are we going from the top again? Yeah. Now Speaker 43: you see the the tents they they were living in, you know, can see it all the way down there. Speaker 44: For thirty years, sorry, my voice is, like, cracking on me here. Speaker 43: You know? And you just begin to imagine how are people expected to survive. Speaker 44: Affordable housing in this country. This great in Speaker 43: this horrible condition with the current state of the weather, you know, with the cold. Speaker 14: Where I can lay my head. And, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed? Speaker 1: He just grinned and shook Speaker 9: It's a terrible thing when Canada has become politically interesting. You know the world is close to ending when that's the case. Speaker 11: Well and and sometimes politically stupid. Speaker 9: Well, yeah. Often. Speaker 45: Liberal inflation has sent food, housing, gas prices soaring, but there's one substance that has gone down in price by 90%, powerful opioids. After the prime minister announced a hundred million Speaker 5: I'm sorry. I'm going to interrupt the honorable leader of the opposition. Could you start from the top? We're just getting some distractions from all over. From the top, please. Order. Speaker 45: While the prime minister has sent inflation for gas, heat, and groceries soaring, there is one product that's actually come down in price, powerful opioids. The prime minister has spent a hundred million dollars on so called safe supply. Turns out they're being resold to other addicts in order to raise the money to buy deadly fentanyl. Will the prime minister cancel the dollars for drugs and instead put the resources into treatment for addicts. Speaker 5: The honorable minister for mental health. Speaker 3: Mister speaker, we are pretty fed up with this fight against evidence based programs that actually are saving lives. Speaker 25: Oh, yeah. Speaker 3: We cannot allow the conservatives to take us back to the failed ideology of the past. Speaker 14: They're Speaker 3: speaking nonsense. So just stop it and save lives. Speaker 5: The honorable leader of the opposition. Speaker. Order. Order. The honorable leader of the opposition. No Speaker 45: common sense. Speaker 14: The Speaker 45: evidence is seen in the tragic faces of addicts who lie overdosed on the pavement. After this prime minister spent a hundred million dollars handing out free drugs to addicts, he has led to a 300% increase in overdoses. Will he stop giving dollars for drugs and instead follow my common sense plan to put the resources into treatment and recovery to bring our loved ones home? Speaker 9: Young woman's door. Speaker 19: People are dying. Safe. Speaker 5: One second. Speaker 14: Order. Speaker 5: Order. One person at a time in this chamber, please. Speaker 1: Living in Justin Trudeau's Canada, it's a never it's a never ending hallucinogenic surreal dream. Jud Justin Trudeau's mode of governance is to top each scandal with a bigger scandal, and he's really good at that. Speaker 21: Another liberal cabinet minister was called out today for breaking federal ethics rules by awarding two contracts to a friend she has known for nearly twenty years. The breach, the opposition says, is part of the government's pattern. Speaker 10: Will the minister resign? Speaker 19: Hours after the ethics report was released, the international trade minister was grilled in the house of commons. Speaker 2: I have taken and I am taking full responsibility for my actions. Speaker 19: At issue, two contracts for media training granted by the trade minister's office to the public relations firm Pomp and Circumstance. Speaker 45: Unfortunately, the prime minister has set the low standard, and now his ministers are living by it. Speaker 28: This kind of corruption, you know, not once but twice. Speaker 19: In addition to Ng, former finance minister Bill Morneau broke federal ethics laws three times during the WE charity scandal. Inter Intergovernmental affairs minister Dominic LeBlanc broke Speaker 3: the rules Speaker 19: too, approving a business license for a company where a family member worked. Speaker 8: Minister LeBlanc, could you tell Speaker 46: me do you know what the unemployment rate is right now? Speaker 45: We're not actually doing interviews. Speaker 8: Oh, you're Speaker 46: just smoking a cigar while millions of Canadians suffer. How's the cigar? Could you tell me why minister Stephen Gilboe is serving the Chinese Communist Party? Speaker 45: I think you spent too Speaker 42: much time with a tinfoil hat on. Speaker 0: Many many scientists I knew Speaker 46: were unhappy with the lockdowns, Speaker 5: were afraid to speak say speak up. Speaker 46: Many people were uncomfortable with lockdowns, but they're Speaker 14: afraid to scientists afraid to speak up. Yeah. Speaker 47: We want to see the change so that the next generation can, you know, experience the freedoms we grew up knowing and loving. And we didn't see any misogyny, no racism. There was no anger. There was no violence. It was just heaven on earth. The energy was supreme. Speaker 19: Prime minister, what discipline will increase the Prime minister has violated ethics laws in 2017 when he vacationed on the Aga Khan's private island and in 2019 over his role in the SNC Lavalin scandal. He tried to influence then justice minister Jovi Wilson Bravehold. Speaker 25: What do Speaker 19: you mean to the extreme elements kinda latch up to the Trump Convoy before now? Speaker 14: Well, you know what I Speaker 45: think is interesting is that when there's a left wing protest on Parliament Hill, we don't see the liberal media going through every single name of the people who attends to try and find one person that they can disparage the whole group with. And Speaker 33: it was just unbelievable, the propaganda, the media was spitting. Unbelievable. I've never seen it like that at that heightened level, calling people racist and misogynist. We never even experienced any of that one second that we were there. You know, we try to tell people, come out there and see it for yourself. Like, stop listening to news, turn it off, and be free. Speaker 45: Whenever you have five or 10,000 people who are part of any group, you're bound to have a number who have or say unacceptable things. But that doesn't mean we disparage the thousands of hardworking, law abiding, and peaceful truckers, quite frankly, kept all of you alive. Speaker 9: I've been asked to say a few words to the truckers in Ottawa, and so I've given that some careful consideration. All you protesters, you've accomplished an awful lot already. You know, the conservative leadership has crumbled and Aaron O'Toole has been replaced by someone who is giving a fair bit of voice to your concerns. Speaker 22: Police made a small number of targeted arrests. Speaker 9: You're now faced with a difficult choice, is what are your criteria for satisfaction? Speaker 22: Only a few trucks have left. Others reposition to make it harder to tow them out. Speaker 9: You're also faced with the danger at the moment. The political process bends in the direction that you've insisted upon, so rightly in my estimation. Speaker 22: One of the main organizers of the so called Freedom Convoy, Saskatchewan trucker Chris Barber, handcuffed and placed in a cruiser three blocks from Parliament Hill. Speaker 9: I'd like to commend all of you for your diligence and work on accomplishing what you have accomplished under under trying conditions and also for keeping your heads in a way that's actually been a model for the entire world. The fact that you've been able to remain peaceful, you haven't taken the bait, you haven't responded with violence to quite remarkable denigration and provocation. That's a sign of tremendous discipline and care. Allow a sufficient victory to be sufficient, to move forward without Randcourt, to be grateful for the effect that you've already had on the support that you've received, and to move forward to a normative peace and the reestablishment of our country's economy and our psychological and social well-being. So that's pretty much all I have to say at this point. Thank you. Speaker 22: Despite pleas to move the children out immediately, many remain. The diesel to keep trucks running still flowing in, and the party continues on into what might be its final night. Last night, the convoy's lead organizer, Tamara Leach, predicted she might be headed to jail too. Speaker 2: I'll be going somewhere tomorrow where I'll be eating three square meals a day. Speaker 22: Just hours after visiting with protesters on the front lines tonight, pictures online showed her being arrested. Speaker 24: The trucker protest reached its final destination. Speaker 2: And the press, of course, they talk to the people who are unhappy. Oh, yeah. Of people instead of the thousands of people who are happy. Speaker 1: I think what they stand for is wrong, not backed by science, and shouldn't be in our city. Speaker 24: This man, one of a few counter protesters. Speaker 1: I mean, I got my jacket ripped. I've been called racial and homophobic slurs all day. Speaker 48: All of the mess, all of the nightmare, everything Justin Trudeau threw at us and Theresa Tam and everything Justin Trudeau threw at us and Theresa Tam and Omar and Freeland and a lot of them. Speaker 9: You kicked me. I got a big breeze on the back of my thigh. Speaker 48: We we just found this power amongst ourselves. And I still don't know if the convoy was the birth of our nationalism, like true nationalism world to me. Or whether it was like like a Viking funeral pyre of the death of the country our ancestors were. Well, that could be too. I I I don't I don't know. Speaker 2: No. Don't see that. Speaker 25: But it Speaker 2: kinda looks like the death, you know, right now. Speaker 48: We're in the process of fixing this, but it's gonna be a longer process than we Speaker 2: realized So so they arrived in Ottawa and it was a celebration for most people Not everyone, Speaker 48: but most people. Not everyone. But you can't expect it to be everyone, so Speaker 2: that's just not gonna happen. And then what was your part once the trucks arrived?

Canada's issues extend beyond its relationship with the U.S. In 2019, the Trudeau government updated the Criminal Code to modernize the justice system, yet there is still no way to evaluate the effectiveness of these changes. The Department of Justice has confirmed the lack of national data to study bail trends over time. This situation feels reminiscent of the government's housing policies, where federal responsibility for criminal justice is downplayed. Additionally, I found it interesting to hear Freeland defend the freezing of bank accounts by linking it to economic security concerns.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

Canada's problems aren't with the United States alone—but you already knew that. A 🧵 In 2019, the Trudeau government amended the Criminal Code to make bail more "modern and efficient.” But there was one major problem: they had no way to test the results of their experiment.

In 2019, Bill C-75 amended the Criminal Code “to reduce delays in the criminal justice system” and “to make it more modern and efficient." And yet, I've confirmed, there remains no method by which to test the results of whether the changes have actually led to improved outcomes.

reSee.it AI Summary
Canada faces a significant fentanyl crisis, with an average of 21 overdose deaths daily. While the issue is serious, it's essential to approach it factually. The Port of Vancouver is a known hub for drug trafficking, involving gangsters like Larry Amero of the Hells Angels. However, Vancouver isn't alone; ports like Manzanillo and Lázaro Cárdenas in Mexico also play crucial roles in fentanyl trafficking, often with even less oversight. To effectively tackle the fentanyl problem, we must focus on how it is trafficked through these ports rather than solely blaming Canada.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

Canada clearly has a fentanyl problem. A🧵. Important questions arise over this problem: What do we do to fix it? And how much of North America's fentanyl problem is Canada's fault? Trump's tariffs reignited the fentanyl conversation, so let's take a clear-eyed look at it:

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

1/ In Canada, the number is 21. That's the average deaths per day of fentanyl overdoses. In the United States, the number rises to over 200. This isn’t a small problem, it's a big problem. And if we’re going to tackle the problem, we need to look at it honestly and unemotionally.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

2/ This is an emotional issue, after all. People are dying. And politicians, as they will, are politicizing the deaths. Canadians have a right to be angry. Americans have a right to be angry. But are “Canadians killing Americans”? Absolutely not.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

3/ It’s a problem of such enormous scale it's almost impossible to comprehend. 21 deaths per day due from fentanyl overdoses means fentanyl takes more Canadian lives each day than U.S. soldiers died each day during the height of the Vietnam War.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

4/ The purpose of this thread is not to downplay the crisis. There's no way to downplay the fentanyl crisis. Nor is the purpose to downplay Canada's involvement in the fentanyl crisis. It is simply to put Canada's role in the fentanyl crisis into a more factual context.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

5/ Our story begins at the Port of Vancouver. The Port is the largest in the country. It has a long and storied reputation for being a nexus hub of drug trafficking, money laundering, and the international fentanyl trade—and most of the stories are absolutely true.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

6/ Sam Cooper, Kim Bolan and many others have done a fantastic job documenting Vancouver's role as a crime hub for years. Because of their great work and the work of others, it has long been an established fact that the Port is quite literally operated by known gangsters.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

7/ One well-documented example of a known gangster who worked at the Port of Vancouver is Larry Amero. Amero is a prominent member of the Hells Angels. He was employed as a longshoreman at the Port of Vancouver along with being arrested for murder and other gang-related activity.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

8/ It was a position he obtained through the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) Local 502, where sponsorship by an existing union member—such as his father, who also worked at the port—was required for hiring.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

9/ And so he issue of crime at the port is well understood. What might be less understood (because why would Canadians need to consider this until now?) is that Vancouver isn't the only North American city with a gang-affiliated port or a port crime problem—not by a long shot.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

10/ Take Manzanillo, for example. Mexico's busiest port, it's long been an ideal hotspot for fentanyl precursor trafficking. Like a more extreme version of the Vancouver-Hells Angels relationship, it is under strict control by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

11/ In fact, on Oct. 2021, the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned four individuals—Aldrin Miguel Jarquín Jarquín, José Jesús Jarquín Jarquín, César Enrique Díaz de León Sauceda, and Fernando Zagal Antón—for coordinating CJNG drug trafficking operations through the port.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

12/ These men were alleged to manage cocaine shipments from Colombia and precursor chemicals for fentanyl and methamphetamine, working under Julio Alberto Castillo Rodríguez, son-in-law of CJNG leader Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

13/ Much like Vancouver, its Pacific location makes Manzanillo ideal for imports from Asia, including fentanyl and fentanyl pre-cursors. As lax, insecure and compromised at the Port of Vancouver might be, Manzanillo is likely still much easier for cartels to do business with.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

14/ Manzanillo has long been the destination of choice for traffickers. The port’s high container through-put and proximity to cartel strongholds makes it ideal for narco-trafficking. Indeed, if you were importing fentanyl, this would likely be your port of choice—not Vancouver.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

15/ Then there's Lázaro Cárdenas Port—another Pacific port heavily influenced by the CJNG and a key hub for importing fentanyl precursors from Asia. A decade ago authorities seized 19 tons of phenylacetic acid originating from China—the implicated port workers weren't even named.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

16/ But what about inspections? The numbers do vary—but only marginally. It’s estimated less than 1% of shipping containers are searched at Lázaro Cárdenas as per some estimates, as compared to Vancouver’s 3% and Manzanillo's 2% and 4% at the Port of Los Angeles.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

17/ And that brings us to Los Angeles. How does port culture in Los Angeles compare to that in Vancouver? Not favourably if you're prepared to take the line that Canada should be punished for its lax attitude towards fentanyl and illicit drug imports.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

18/ Los Angeles gang culture is notorious. The somewhat ironically nicknamed "City of Angels" is home to numerous gangs—from MS-13 to various Crip and Blood factions and everything in between. Unsurprisingly, many of their gang members intersect regularly with the port.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

19/ The Port of Los Angeles and The Port of Long Beach, which comprises the San Pedro Bay port complex, handles more containers per ship than any other port complex in the world. These warehouses rely heavily on a workforce of largely working class men, which includes gangsters.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

20/ So entrenched is gang culture in the port that the local warehouses surrounding the port are often one of the few readily available jobs for those with a criminal record and no work history. In 2019, an L.A. longshoreman port was charged with trafficking the cocaine himself.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

20/ “Many are men who did stints in prison. Many are youngsters seeking legitimate employment with some gang involvement. Some are just starting families. Some are disillusioned and trying to start fresh. Some are active bangers with 9 to 5's.” https://medium.com/@justincunningham.dlr/blue-collar-politics-and-gang-culture-collide-in-las-harbor-region-785105988ba8

Blue Collar Politics and Gang Culture Collide in LA’s Harbor Region The Harbor Region of South LA is a logistic hub, known for its ports, warehouses and oil refineries. The Port of Los Angeles and The Port of Long Beach comprise the San Pedro Bay port complex, which… medium.com

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

21/ The point of all these stories is this: if we want to get serious about dealing with fentanyl, we need to become more serious about how it's trafficked. It doesn’t mainly arrive into Canada, the United States or Mexico across land borders—it ostensibly arrives at the ports. https://t.co/zrrJ1jiA3W

During a lunch break at the Supreme Court, a fire alarm incident occurred, but we resumed shortly after. The JCCF lawyer challenged the Trudeau government's claims regarding prorogation, arguing it undermines parliamentary sovereignty. He cited case law and emphasized the need for limits on executive power. Democracy Watch and the BC Civil Liberties Association also presented their arguments, stressing the importance of judicial oversight. The Trudeau lawyer struggled to defend the government's position, failing to clarify key points and raising concerns about the implications of unlimited prorogation.

Speaker 0: So in a most bizarre and surreal case of foreshadowing, it appears as though there actually is a fire at the place where that fire hydrant with the stick was sitting, right outside the courthouse. So see if we can figure out what's going on here. So, allegedly, someone has pulled the fire alarm.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

We're back from the fire alarm incident.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

The JCCF lawyer replies to the Trudeau government lawyer's claim that the judge and he discussed Trudeau potentially acting in "bad faith," arguing that "in bad faith" is equivalent to acting against the principles of good government and outside the scope of his executive power.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

The JCCF lawyer cites a case law situation involving the "Downtown Eastside." I'm not familiar with the case he's referring to, but it sounds like the crux of the issue is a generalized concern that the court system could become bogged down by "busybody" special interests.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

Especially in consideration of this case being expedited, and therefore likely bumping another case before the courts, the JCCF follows: "This is a special case, it is unprecedented and it is remarkable," putting that generalized concern (somewhat) to rest.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

"This is a very remarkable case. Proroging Parliament for 11 weeks [in the context of the 51st state threats and the looming Trump tariffs] is prejudicial to every single Canadian" and in violation of Section 3, argues the JCCF lawyer.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

The judge pushes back and suggests that Charter Section 3 only applies to voting rights. Section 3 does state: "Every citizen of Canada has the right to vote in an election of members of the House of Commons or of a legislative assembly and to be qualified for membership therein"

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

The JCCF lawyer cites an academic article that supports the decision in Miller II. In the interests of time, he doesn't go over the details, but does provide the last paragraph.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

"The decision that there was no limit to this power [the power of prorogation] would mean that the executive power would have no limit" says the last paragraph from Professor Craig at Oxford University.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

"If Miller did not exist," the JCCF lawyer repeats, "my argument wouldn't change. I submit that Miller II is a good case, but we don't need it. Don't we already have, here, the same principles as they do in the UK?"

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

"This is about protecting parliamentary sovereignty and preventing executive overreach. If we're talking about the constitutional responsibility to take all relevant information into account, in my opinion, this is all in the same bathtub," the JCCF lawyer continues.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

The judge asks, "Didn't the PM say that a new leader would reduce polarization? Didn't he say that he thought he was the source of the very paralysis we spoke of earlier?"

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

If that is indeed the case, the JCCF lawyer hypothesizes, then "why doesn't he just resign immediately?"

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

The Trudeau lawyer has agreed to go late tonight to 5pm or 6pm to give the interveners time to get their commentaries in. Everyone has agreed to this and the judge was appreciative. I am too given the time sensitive nature of the case.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

@JoWalsh03748900 has also popped in. She has been dealing with legal issues for years pertaining to her taking a "peace sign" picture next to the masked goons that descended upon Ottawa after the invocation of the (now deemed unlawful and unjustified) Emergencies Act. https://t.co/gkjfSwWz2C

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

The first intervener, Democracy Watch, is now speaking. The judge seems to be of a concern that Democracy Watch wanted to be a counsel but then changed to intervener status. I'm not really sure why that's a concern, but he's mentioned it several times.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

"The power to prorogue is totally different from the power to dissolve," the Democracy Watch representative argues, which repeats the same argument with regards to an absence of deference presented earlier by the JCCF lawyer.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

"The court should be especially vigilant when a politician is working in his own politically motivated self-interests," Democracy Watch argues. This makes good sense, actually, as if the court cannot intervene and there are no constitutional limits on prorogation, who else would?

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

Democracy Watch also refers to the Constitution as a "living tree" and that, therefore, it would not be unreasonable for the courts to intervene here and to create a Canadian precedent for some limitations on prorogation.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

The BC Civil Liberties Association is up next, as the second intervener. The BC Civil Liberties Association says that the judicial, executive and legislative branches are all to avoid engaging in "undue interference."

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

They are arguing that the applicant (represented by JCCF) is incorrect in its assumption that the only precedent limiting the power of the executive on the subject of prorogation is the Miller II case.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

They are arguing that the "privilege of the legislature is integral in holding the executive to account," as noted in Attorney General v. Power, wherein a precedent was set establishing that government does not have absolute immunity when exercising its legislaticr powers.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

Oh boy. It's time for the Trudeau government lawyer to speak. She stands up and the room instantly goes quiet.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

"Chief Justice, as you know, prorogation is a valuable political too," she begins. Someone sitting next to me mutters under their breath, "I'm going to throw up."

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

*tool

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

"No court has ever exercised the right to review the decision to prorogue other than Miller II. And Miller II has no persuasive value for this court as the legal and factual basis are completely different," the Trudeau lawyer argues to the judge.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

"This 44th Parliament has been running for over 1,000 days since 2021 and is the longest running minority government in Canadian history," the Trudeau lawyer says (yelling would be more accurate). I have absolutely zero idea why that would be relevant or helpful to her case here.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

The Trudeau government lawyer makes a truly confounding argument that bills were able to pass through Parliament despite the SDTC affair. This is an utterly self-defeating and erroneous argument given that PMJT said his justification for prorogation was Parliamentary paralysis.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

"So your position is that the government was functioning?" the Chief Justice asks confusedly. "I don't have a position," says the Trudeau lawyer. This is turning into a total disaster for the Trudeau government lawyer. She really and truly does not have a clear position.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

The Trudeau government lawyer argues that Trudeau never said he needed 11 weeks to find a new Party leader as a justification for prorogation. She's technically correct about the 11 weeks part, but again, that's completely irrelevant.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

That Justin Trudeau used time to find a new Liberal Party leader as one of his two justifications for prorogation is not only fact, it is a fact that is shared and understood between both sides of the courtroom as spelled out on Page 2 of the applicants Memorandum of Fact and Law

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

Apologies, Page 3: https://t.co/GOASmH4eF1

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

This means that the Trudeau lawyer either didn't read the applicant's Memorandum of Fact and Law, she doesn't respect the facts in it, or she's being semantic in arguing because Trudeau didn't mention "11 weeks" as the length of prorogation it's somehow no longer problematic.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

"Hypothetically," the judge asks the Trudeau government lawyer, "could a government use prorogation to avoid a confidence motion?" "There are no limits on prorogation," the Trudeau government lawyer submits. That is really concerning.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

The Trudeau government lawyer is arguing that because no one has challenged prorogation in court before (in Canada), that any new challenge must be, by default, invalid—on account of there being no jurisprudence or case law precedent.

The Coutts documents reveal disorganization within the Trudeau government, with the RCMP seeking assistance from the Canadian Armed Forces before the mass arrests. The documents also highlight how towing companies in Canada and Montana refused to provide services to disrupt the blockade. These documents suggest that Trudeau lost the moral authority to lead the country and that Canada's COVID response reflected his broken mindset. The country deserves an election to hold the Liberal-NDP coalition accountable.

@AmazingZoltan - Amazing Zoltan

These Coutts documents are wild. Here, the RCMP requests assistance from the Canadian Arm Forces as early as February 4, 2022 (nearly two weeks before the mass arrests, including those of the Coutts Four). These documents demonstrate that the Trudeau government was in a state of total disorganization, disunity and dysfunction. Particularly amusing in this request form is an amazing story of how over 50 towing companies in Canada and over 25 towing companies across Montana - presumably standing in solidarity with the anti-mandate protestors - refused to offer their services for the purpose of disrupting the blockade: “Given the need to re-open this transportation route, the RCMP has attempted to obtain private industry tow trucks but these companies are refusing to provide their services,” the RCMP communicates in an urgent memo. “We have contacted over 50 tow companies in Canada, throughout Alberta, eastern BC, and Saskatchewan. We also made special arrangements via CBSA which would permit American tow trucks to cross the border to do the necessary work. We have contacted over 25 tow companies in the USA, including into Helena and Missoula, Montana, which are situated over two hours from the Coutts Port of Entry. We have encountered similar responses to our efforts on the Canadian side, and have no prospect or reason to expect any different answer from further efforts.” It is clear from documents like this one that Trudeau lost the moral authority and the will of the people to lead this country more than two years ago. Canada's bizarre and harmful COVID response was a macrosmic reflection of Trudeau's broken mind and it left an entire country traumatized and indebted. This country deserves an election now. May undemocratic Liberal-NDP socialist coalition pay dearly for its misdeeds at the ballot box.

The picture of 15 guns found in trailers during the Coutts protest caused controversy, but it's important to note that owning guns in Alberta is common. The inclusion of unrelated items in the picture seems to exaggerate the threat. The MSM published this picture in connection to the Coutts Four, who have been in detention for nearly three years. It's crucial to remember that the weapons did not belong to the remaining accused, and the few weapons attributed to them were legally owned. This situation does not justify their extended confinement.

@AmazingZoltan - Amazing Zoltan

A picture tells a thousand words. And this picture cost several Canadians thousands of days with their families. So many missed father days. How this picture became so widely disseminated at the time of the invocation of the Emergencies Act is a bit of a mystery. As some may recall, on Feb. 14, 2022, RCMP charged 13 people with mischief and four with conspiracy to kill RCMP officers after seizing guns, body armour and high capacity magazines. Pictured below is 15 guns that were discovered in three different trailers miles away from the Coutts protest. Nearly every single weapon was lawfully owned, registered and stored (one exception being a handgun attributed to Chris Lysak who has since been freed). Albertans own guns, so finding 15 guns belonging to 13 people in 3 different properties is neither criminal nor surprising. As Gord Magill wrote last year in his Newsweek op-ed, "Meet the Four Men Being Held as Political Prisoners in Canada," there were plenty of simple explanations and logical reasons for their being so many weapons in a place where gun ownership is considered the norm and there is still a bounty for coyote hunting: "Police later found firearms, 36,000 rounds of ammunition, and industrial explosives at Olienick's home—but according to friends and family, the guns were legally obtained, the ammunition is the kind commonly used in rural Alberta to shoot gophers, and Olienick's property sits on a gravel mine; he and his father used the explosives to mine gravel." The absurdity of the picture below becomes increasingly apparent with additional scrutiny. Consider that at the bottom left corner the RCMP has included what appears to be either a machete or perhaps a gardening tool pictured next to a hunting vest adorned with Diagolon patches, along with a pair of walky talkies. It would seem as if the police received warrants for three trailers and then assembled together anything and everything they could find in those trailers that looked even remotely threatening. This picture is clearly designed to appear more threatening than the sum of its contents. The MSM, lacking in either context or care for the potential tampering of public opinion, published this picture in connection to the Coutts Four men who've now spent nearly three years in remand detention facilities sleeping on one inch yoga mats in rooms with bright 24/7 florescent lighting. It's important to remember as we proceed with this trial, and it ought to be important for the MSM to remind its viewership, that these weapons did not belong to the two remaining accused in the so-called "conspiracy to commit murder" charge. To the best of my knowledge, there are only three weapons attributed to the two accused, all of which were legally owned and registered. This is, again, neither illegal nor surprising and hardly warrants two plus years in legal purgatory and solitary confinement.

Speaker 16: What was deemed as a protest from the beginning is now seen As an uncontrollable occupation. Speaker 7: Our city, they find their siege. This is emboldened by the lack of enforcement by every level of government. Speaker 10: Listen. I don't know if we should tell them this, mister speaker, but we cannot hear the honking in here. Speaker 1: You don't hear a single thing, Speaker 10: and this was all last week too. Speaker 1: I'm doing great because I haven't spent in 5 fucking days. You don't hear a single thing in here. You don't. It has to fucking stop. The honkin will continue until freedom improves. Speaker 10: And you Almost forget that it's even happening until you get up and and and leave and go outside and you see it again. Well, the the the member brought up my electric car. If he if he wants, we can talk about that for a while too, but Fuck you. Meanwhile, All of the activities that have been going on. Speaker 19: You know, the scenes of the bouncy castles, the hot tubs, those other things, that's what happens on the weekend. Speaker 10: This protest has come here and just Completely made the people that live here Speaker 20: ir Everybody needs a hug. Speaker 10: It's impacting the people That live here. Speaker 12: This is history in Canada, and this is an important thing for them to see. Speaker 10: They've made their point, And now it's time to dispense of the activities and to go home. Speaker 19: And that's what we heard from the public safety minister yesterday, essentially saying they don't wanna see another weekend Parties and hot tubs on Monetton Street. Speaker 7: I was just aghast this weekend that, you know, there's a bouncy castle and and there's a hot tub. I David, I wanted to go up there and poke that hot tub, myself and let the water flow out of it and unplug that damn bouncy counts. Speaker 16: The city of Ottawa is in day 10, and as As of tonight, in a state of emergency where 1,000 have been clogging the streets, building a shelter, and nonstop noise can be heard around Parliament Hill. Ottawa police took to Twitter today warning protesters that if demonstration supports are brought in, they may be arrested. Speaker 1: So in fact, They are taking fuel right away from people, as they attempt to fuel their vehicles. Speaker 20: You take those cans off That truck, is that your property? Speaker 21: It is now. Speaker 6: Ladies and gents, welcome back. So, Canadians will never cease to amaze me at the cleverness when they're put in the position or they're not allowed to do something. Recently in Ottawa, they're making it very difficult for people to get fuel to their trucks At the protest and, started arresting people who were trying to bring fuel down to the truckers. So in response, we've passed Here, one of the greatest trolls in history will take place tomorrow. If you live in Ottawa, grab a jerry can and join the party. Everyone is going to be walking around with 1 in protest. You don't need gas, just a jerry can. So everyone's gonna be walking around Hello. I like this. Exactly. Speaker 13: And it already started last yesterday before the sun even went down. Speaker 6: This is the scene in Ottawa. And what do Speaker 13: the police do? What do you do Speaker 1: to that? I've been watching them handle this. They're they're playing this. It's been very peaceful For for the number of people who are involved in the demonstration, and that's despite the potential effect of instigator types, and that's a real threat. They seem to be not taking the bait. And so I hope that that continues and that This proclivity to instigate, which would be extraordinarily convenient for mister Trudeau and which is an easy out for him, I'm praying that that doesn't happen. Speaker 22: So now that your job is done, do you actually believe the stuff that you say out of curiosity? Or do you just kinda do the script that you're told to repeat? I'm just curious because you have destroyed my life, CBC. You you write a lot of hit pieces about me. My family has been doxxed. I've received death threats. Speaker 20: Yes. I got the truckers. I did it. It was me. I had to give SenGo, baby, and I'd do it again. Speaker 22: And you've literally destroyed my life because I asked appropriate questions. Speaker 20: I do it a 100 times. Speaker 23: I did it. I did it. Speaker 20: Come at me. What are you gonna do? What are you gonna Do to me, Speaker 22: And and the way that you trust the truth. And I have a 6 year old and a 3 year old, and kids have never been happier than what has been created here. Why don't Speaker 11: you show that truth? Speaker 22: Do you Speaker 11: see the smiles in the kids? Do you know what has been taken away from them these last 2 years? Do you know 6 year olds have told me they wanted to cut themselves and kill themselves? Kids wanna die because of the last 2 years. Why aren't you showing that? And now you're talking about kids' welfare safety? Speaker 1: You tell me right now, are my kids in danger for being here? Should I send them on the 1st train out of town? Tell me now. Speaker 19: It sounds like the Coventry Are you Speaker 1: saying that So you're saying that my kids are gonna get hurt? Because I'm soldiers so a long time happening in the city of London.

The extended unedited version is actually far more disturbing. This speech occurred a month ago - and it was for the Ottawa Press gallery. The govt subsidized press gallery reporters laugh most unconvincingly with each "joke." It's all so reminiscent of other socialist dictators https://t.co/Vf15h7ks8S

Last year's press gallery dinner had a Star Wars theme, but this year, with Halloween approaching, they decided against it. The past couple of years have been tough, with many events being canceled. However, things started picking up again after people got vaccinated. Winterlude was particularly enjoyable, featuring a hot tub. The conservative party supported the Ottawa occupation, while the liberals saw it as an opportunity to overthrow the government. The new leader of the official opposition, Pierre, couldn't make it to the dinner, but he sent his apologies. The speaker also touched on various topics, including inflation, his own experiences, and the importance of journalism. He paid tribute to fallen members of the Canadian Armed Forces and thanked all Canadians in uniform for their service.

Speaker 0: It is great to be back together, all of us. Last time we were together for the press gallery dinner, it was in 2019, precisely on May 4th. So we came up with a Star Wars theme that I think everyone appreciated. This year, we were brainstorming for a theme, And I noticed we were only 9 days before Halloween, but Katie said absolutely not. We all know he's too busy staying up late tweaking his YouTube algorithms. But if you wanted him to come, you just should have told him you were occupying the museum, and he would have shown up with Timbits. But let us remember, the past couple years have been tough. Many fun events like tonight were canceled. But once people got vaccinated, things started picking up again. Winterlude was really awesome this year. They had a hot tub. When the conservative party looked at the Ottawa occupation, they thought this is an expression of righteous anger, And we must support them. But liberals, we looked at a group of people with a written agreement to overthrow the government, and we said, Great idea. Get Jagmeet on the phone. It's true. How many Canadians have already forgotten that Murphy Brown was once leader of the conservative party. And millennials, you'll have to look that one up. Aaron O'Toole loved his porta potty until a bunch of people showed up on the hill with porta potties and flushed them. Andrew Scheer went from being speaker to leader of the opposition to now house leader. The irony for him is being house leader is the only one that actually doesn't come with a house. Look. It's not an easy job being a leader. I, myself, spent a lot of time this year surrounded by Honking and wailing, I don't know what their deal was, but the geese and loons at Harrington just wouldn't shut up. It's hard for a guy to get any work done. It's not all bad, though. I have a lot of fans. Some of them even redesigned the Canadian flag with my name on it. We now have a new leader of the official opposition. I know most of you haven't had a chance to see him in person yet. I think we can all agree that it's David Akins' fault that he didn't show up tonight. Although you'd think that Polyolive would have a thicker skin, he grew up in Alberta in the eighties with the name Pierre. But Pierre let me know. He really does feel bad that he couldn't make it tonight. So as a consolation, you told me to tell you to look under your seats. Yes. You're a shadow critic, and you're a shadow critic, and you're a shadow critic, and you and you and you. No. Sorry. Not you, Michelle. Now Some of the people who weren't sold on Pierre are now putting their money on him. Charette, Mulroney, Deltell, and others, they all think that they're now betting on the right horse. They expound upon the extent of his parliamentary experience. I mean, he's been an MP since he was 25, But as Brian himself once pointed out, there's no horse like an old horse. But even as someone who's been part of the Ottawa political elite for 20 years now, Pierre has made a few mistakes. He suggested you could opt out of Bitcoin opt out of inflation by investing in Bitcoin. Talk about attacks on the media. The entire cast of Sun columnists lost their life savings. Seriously though, Pierre, you've got to take inflation more seriously. That Bitcoin thing is really bad advice. I mean, shouldn't at least 1 of the 2 of us be thinking about monetary policy? Speaking of buying the dip, you probably saw on the news that I jumped off the highest drop in Canada, Which turns out wasn't my approval rating since 2015. But I have to admit, I have learned a lot since 2015. Now instead of having to apologize and take responsibility for whatever it is, whenever something goes wrong, I adopted new approaches because, yes, the summer had its ups and downses downs, and not just a bungee jump. We all remember my scandal at the Finnish embassy. Oh, actually, no. You don't remember that because I got my haircut that weekend. A lot of us experimented with new hairstyles over the past few years. For example, I grew a beard. But when it started to go gray, I had to shave to make sure I was getting enough airtime on CTV. Seriously, though. I don't know why the conservative party is so obsessed with my hair. It started in 2015 with that ad. Remember? And now this, inflation and mullets. We've all had a bit of a hangover from the pandemic. Of course, supply chain snarls and global inflation are hitting people hard, So we apologize if the meet was tough tonight or if you chip a tooth on a bread roll, but I swear We will eventually have a dental plan for you at some point. Jagmeet, we really gotta sit down and figure something out. No. No. But in seriousness, Jerkmi, if we can't get this done quickly enough, I promise we'll go with the original idea, which is just chucking toothbrushes out of airplanes. As I think about it, the last time I was on stage I was in a hotel in London. And I gotta tell you, just like with Jagmeet, it always costs me more than I expect When I agree to sing. Come on. I need to at least 1 good dad joke in there. I'm 50. I think the lesson here is that it's Important that we all work together. To our Green Party colleagues, we're excited to see what's next for you as you choose a new leader or Leaders, actually. Bold choice for a party that's been ripping itself apart, But I know you've got it all figured out. This time both leaders will be Elizabeth May. In any case, we need it to work out because our environment is facing a huge number of challenges. Climate change, biodiversity loss, Resource shortage, Doug Ford eating bees. Actually, speaking of WASPy things, last summer, Pierre told his pal, Jordan Peterson, That he's a quote, believer in using simple Anglo Saxon words. I know. I didn't get it either, but I'm told it sounds much better in the original German. I am willing to recognize that we liberals need to up our comms game. We're so hung up on policy that we forget to come up with catchy slogans and taglines. So why not learn from the best and try to offer a few Trump style nicknames It's for you tonight. Dangerous Dale Smith, Hecklin Aiken, Evan Artsy Solomon, I know you'll be curating great content in your new job. Everybody already knows Bob Fife's nickname. It's just that I use different words that they won't let me say tonight. David Nova Scotia Cochrane. As he keeps telling us, he's from Nova Scotia. Tylenol Tondre. Her questions hurt my brain. Buzz Five Eyes Stevenson. Actually, I actually wanna let Mercedes know The next intelligence briefing is Tuesday at 9:30. I'll just flip you the calendar invite. Contrarian coin, Andrew always have to have the opinion that's different from everybody else, so I look forward to my positive column this week. T Rex Murphy always pining for a simpler time when Fossil fuel could walk to market and men could go their own way. There's been a lot of hoopla around the new conservative leader and few rumors of my demise. I've been around for a while now. I've learned how to handle enterprising Albertans who want my job. You know, I'm not doing all that bad when you consider it, although it's a low bar to have to outlast lettuce. 10 Downing Street will have had 5 occupants in 6 years. Stornoway has had 4. 24 Sussex hasn't even had one. But as I've said numerous times, I firmly intend to run-in the next elections. And to prove it, I'll give you an early glimpse of our posters. And this time, we're gonna play offense. I'm coming for you, Pierre. What is it with mullets tonight? When you look at history, every new time, every time a new communication medium has been introduced, it created change, Good and bad. The invention of the printing press in the 1400 paved the way to the enlightenment, But it also created a lot of religious disruption in Europe. The rise of fascism in the first half of the twentyth century is intertwined with the emergence of Mass media like film and radio. And today, we're only beginning to understand how the Internet and social media are changing the world. Your job as journalists and members of the press is more important than it's ever been. When people don't even agree on what's real or what's true, we need your journalistic Rigor and integrity. When someone preaches that the earth is flat, we need journalists not only to debunk it, But help us understand why someone would even believe it. By reporting on disinformation and hatred online, you are at the front lines. You deal with very real threats, Especially to the still too few women and racialized journalists. So thank you for For all your hard work, for your bravery, and for continuing to keep our governments accountable by asking the tough questions. Thank you for helping make our democracy stronger. 8 years ago today, Canadians were shocked by a tragic terrorist attack At the National War Memorial in Parliament Hill in Ottawa that took one life and injured several others. Many of you here tonight Remember the tragedy all too well because you were rushing to the scene yourselves. We join Canadians across the country in paying tribute To corporal Nathan Cirillo and to warrant officer who was killed 2 days earlier in a separate attack in Quebec. Our thoughts are with their loved ones. As we pay tribute to these 2 fallen members of our Canadian Armed Forces today, I encourage everyone to show gratitude to all Canadians in uniform past and present for the selfless commitment to our country. Serving our country It's never easy whether you're on the front lines and engaged As a military service person around the world, and whether you're fighting for democracy with a pen that is consistently mightier than the sword. Thank you for your service to this country. Thank you for dedicating yourselves every day to an ideal of a country to which we will always fall short, But hopefully, with your work, all of us on this side will continue to be on our toes and work very hard to create that country that we all serve together.

Canadians believe it's a matter of right versus wrong. They understand the difficulty Ukraine faces in resisting Russian aggression. Democracies worldwide, including Canada, struggle to support their citizens amidst economic challenges. Despite this, Canada has provided nearly $9 billion in aid to Ukraine. The consequences for Canadians and the world would be far worse if Putin emerges victorious. Therefore, Canada is committed to standing with Ukraine until they achieve victory in this war.

Speaker 0: Canadians know this is a question of right or wrong. Canadians know that, yes, it is incredibly hard for Ukraine to continue to stand against Russian aggression. And let's be honest, it's hard for the democracies around the world who are there to support their citizens who are investing for the future, who are challenged with a challenging economy around the world to continue to step up as Canada has close to $9,000,000,000 in aid for Ukraine, but we will because the cost on Canadians, on our lives, on our world will be so much greater if Putin wins this war that we will and have to stand every single day until Ukraine wins this war.
