So you have been turned into a criminal, because Trudeau changed something on a piece of paper. You’ve been lawful your whole life; Trudeau said a piece of property you have is now banned; you might have even forgotten about it; but now you’re a gun criminal.

In Episode No. 16 of Miss Understood, we analyze the potential link between fatherlessness and mass shootings following the tragic mass shooting that took place in Uvalde, Texas, last week.
Plus, is millennial burnout a thing? Or are millennials just as lazy as everyone thinks they are? This week, we discuss.

David Menzies and Sheila Gunn Reid are reunited, the day after Prime Minister Trudeau announced new legislation targeting handguns.

I’m on the no fly list along with millions of other Canadians, so I haven’t been to the airport in a while, but this is what it’s like at Toronto’s Person International Airport, Canada’s busiest.

Sheila Gunn Reid and Adam Soos start the week off, reflecting on the premiere of our new documentary, Trucker Rebellion: The Story of the Coutts Blockade, while Prime Minister Justin Trudeau looks to keep his travel ban in place (with the support of his trusty New Democrat allies) along with a new gun grab.

Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies, and gentlemen – and the rest of you – in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite Rebels. I’m your host, David Menzies.

Hey, hold your tongue! Because the CBC has a new list of words that are under the ban. Just one hitch though: turns out the CBC uses those words that it doesn’t want others to use! What the hell? Um, can I say, “hell”? Sheila Gunn Reid has all the nitty-gritty details.

Do you remember the 1994 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Junior, about the world’s first pregnant man? Well, what was a supposed comedy in yester-decade is now becoming a reality today. Natasha Biase has all the gruesome details.

And letters; we get your letters; we get your letters every minute of every day. And I’ll share some of your responses about my interview with a protesting nurse who was complaining about the stress of working at Ontario hospitals these days. Um, do you think a major factor might be all those nurses who were suspended without pay for not getting vaccinated?

Those are your Rebels now let’s round them up…

EZRA LEVANT | Why do they want a digital ID?

I’m worried about a new bill introduced in Canada’s Parliament, to give border guards the right to search and seize information from your phone — including photos; including emails; including documents. It really is modelled after China’s so-called Social Credit system, where everything about you is tracked in a government database — or, more likely, contracted out to a company like Amazon or Google, on behalf of the government. The worst of both worlds.

GUEST: National Post columnist Rupa Subramanya on her latest article, 'WHO and the Davos elite leave a lot to be desired'.

Matt Brevner and Alexa Lavoie host this Friday edition of the Rebel News DAILY Livestream, recapping our team's trip to Davos, Switzerland, to cover the World Economic Forum, the French-language debate between Conservative leadership candidates and we try to get to the bottom of the alleged racial abuse that was hurled at Justin Trudeau in British Columbia.

Avi Yemini and Lewis Brackpool report in from Switzerland to explain the ins-and-outs of the World Economic Forum.

From interviews with officials on the streets, to dystopian pop-up corporations, not everything is quite what it seems in Davos.

“It's truly bizarre,” the pair said, as the world elites touch down in the European country to push climate change agendas, whilst not having a care in the world for their carbon footprint whilst present at the forum.

“It's strange and funny, but it's actually quite a dark topic,” explained Brackpool after he explored the streets that seemed rather artificially corporate.

Yemini also discusses Australia's apparent inclusion in recent World Health Organization treaty that would give them power over the country down under.

They also discuss the detainment of journalist Jack Posobiec, all on this very special episode.

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to sit down with one of the candidates for the leadership, who happens to be my own local provincial legislator. The member of the provincial parliament for York Centre, at least until the election was called. His name is Roman Baber. He made a name for himself in January 2021 by publicly opposing Doug Ford's lockdowns, but in a calm, researched and carefully argued way, which promptly saw him thrown out of the party for daring to dissent.

SHEILA GUNN REID | Kian Simone's first feature film is 'Trucker Rebellion: The Battle for Coutts'

Kian, and another Rebel reporter, Syd Fizzard, were inside the negotiations with police, privy to the decision-making process of the blockaders, on location as the police moved in to seal off the truckers from support and supplies. Kian and Syd saw what the media and politicians got wrong, accidentally or otherwise. And now this new documentary tells the real story.

The demand for the truth led the first showing of the documentary to sell out in just days, but don't worry. We booked a second one for June 1, 2022, at Canyon Meadows Cinema in Calgary.

David Menzies and Andrew Chapados are in studio to host, providing an update on our coverage of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, where apparently freedom is seen as a bad thing and a zero-carbon society as a good thing. Back in Canada, Justin Trudeau is participating in one of his new pastimes: hiding from protesters.

Let's read a report underlying a new article from the CBC.
It's not a serious report. It’s the Liberal party platform, re-written as a national security document.

GUEST: Avi Yemini on the World Economic Forum in Davos.

In Episode No. 15 of Miss Understood, we react to Discovery+'s creepy new show called Generation Drag about “drag kids” and discuss the dangers of exposing kids to purely adult things.

We also chat about healthy beauty standards in the wake of Jordan Peterson's controversial tweet about a recent Sports Illustrated cover featuring a plus-sized model.
