Transcript
- 0:00Well, this one has to sting for the Trudeau government. And will it
- 0:05sting as much as well Trudeau's positively disastrous trip to India. Well, probably
- 0:11not, because it's not going to get the same kind of press as the
- 0:14India trip. It's certainly not internationally. But it is yet another humiliation for
- 0:20this grotesque Trudeau government. And what is this about, Well, Stephen Gilbeau,
- 0:26who is the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Because of course it's
- 0:30Canada, we have to have a Minister of Environment and climate change. And
- 0:35yes, this picture of this man being arrested, the men with the green
- 0:39piece on his shirt, that is actually the Canadian Minister of Environment and climate
- 0:45Change, because of course Trudeau wants a eco extremist in that position. But
- 0:52this Stephen Gilbeau at blocked Rebel News from his Twitter account and then Rebel News
- 0:58took him to court to unblock it, because you know, it seems a
- 1:00little bit undemocratic for ministers to be blocking people from their Twitter accounts. Now
- 1:06you're supposed to care what Canadians think. But in any case, this action
- 1:11has come to a conclusion and as you can see on the screen, it
- 1:15says we won Rebel News just crushed Stephen Gilbo in the Federal Court of Canada,
- 1:22and in doing so, we struck a blow for freedom of speech and
- 1:25freedom of the press for everyone. Just like his boss, Justin Trudeau,
- 1:30Stephen Gilbo hates Rebel News because he can't control us. We're one of the
- 1:36few media companies that doesn't take government money, so we don't tow the government
- 1:40line, so the liberals always look for ways to punish us. Like Trudeau,
- 1:46Gilbo doesn't care about freedom of the press or other constitutional rights. They
- 1:51both admire China's dictatorship and they think they can act like little dictators themselves by
- 1:57censoring us. Oh so I think that Justin wanted to say something colevel of
- 2:01admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship and they're both thin skinned
- 2:12and petty. So here's what Gilbo did. He ordered his government department to
- 2:16block us on x formerly Twitter, so we couldn't receive any government news updates
- 2:22from his department's Twitter account. We couldn't read anything, we couldn't reply,
- 2:27and of course we couldn't ask him journalistic questions on Twitter. We were effectively
- 2:32kicked out of the public square, which is what Twitter has become. We
- 2:37were banned from a government service just because we disagreed with a politician. So
- 2:43you know, these aren't people that respect free speech. In fact, I
- 2:46think they hate it. But anyway, it says so we sued. We
- 2:49went to the Federal Court of Canada and argued that we had a right to
- 2:53see those tweets, that it was a government service like any other. Remember
- 2:58this isn't Gilbo's personal account, it's his government account. He has more than
- 3:02twenty government staff who run his Twitter. Gilbot fought us for more than two
- 3:08years. We had a court hearing in Toronto this summer and the government had
- 3:13seven lawyers in the court, all just to stop us from seeing their tweets.
- 3:17What a shocking waste of money and it is outrageous. I mean,
- 3:23obviously the Canadian public is paying for his staff who operates his Twitter account,
- 3:30and they're also paying for the lawyers, all seven of them that had no
- 3:34other purpose than to stop a media organization from being able to ask him questions
- 3:39on Twitter. Now x and as for the verdict, well, Gilbo finally
- 3:45caved. He agreed to a consent order against him. His lawyers must have
- 3:49told him that he had no case and the choice was either to settle now
- 3:53or be humiliated at trial after wasting a bunch of money. Of course,
- 3:59but continues, I should tell you Gilbo's government lawyers tried to get me to
- 4:03sign a confidentiality clause banning me from disclosing the details of his settlement. Even
- 4:11as he was admitting he had violated our rights, he wanted to keep it
- 4:15a secret. What a crooked, corrupt government this is. And as I
- 4:19said, Trudeau absolutely hates rebel news. Eddie is not going to be happy
- 4:26about this, and good holding unacceptable views that they're expressing. Anyway, That's
- 4:33all I got to say about that. Please subscribe, like and share.
- 4:36Sharing really helps me out. I thank you for that. I will see
- 4:40you next time.
