Without speaking to any of them, a Maclean’s editor called the convoy “white nationalists.”

The CBC said this in a Tweet:

“a convoy of angry Albertans and other westerners rolls into Ottawa today for a mass protest against federal energy and environmental policies that has also become a magnet for extremist, anti-immigrant elements”

With one tweet, CBC managed to make the case for their own defunding while simultaneously proving how elitist they are about the concerns of everyday Albertans.

CBC can't possibly know what people on the convoy are thinking because they haven't been on the convoy, except for a few hundred kilometres. Everything the CBC writes about the mindset of those on the convoy is speculation, laden with anti-blue collar bias, and peppered with a desire to protect Trudeau at all costs.

Only one reporter has been with these folks the entire time, from morning prayers to late night hotel dinners, and that was our Rebel reporter, Keean Bexte.

Keean Bexte joins me tonight to bring us the real news from the United We Roll Convoy for Canada, and to bring us the other side of the story that you won’t see anywhere else in the mainstream media.

P.S. To see all Keean’s reports on the United We Roll convoy, and support our independent reporting, go to RebelConvoy.com.

On Tuesday, another took place in Regina at the Legislature, where activists, politicians and even unionized steelworkers, came together and braved the cold to send a message to Ottawa - “Build that pipe!”

While watching the online chatter about the rally, I noticed a familiar face was on his way to Saskatchewan to stand up for Canadian jobs.

It was Rebel fan favourite and viral video sensation Bernard Hancock!

Affectionately known as Bernard the Roughneck, he famously went to Ottawa in his hard hat and coveralls to deliver a petition signed by nearly 35K Canadians in favour of pipelines.

After the rally at the legislature, I caught up with Bernard via Skype from the road between Kindersley and Regina.

Today, Bernard shares his opinions on everything, from the rally in Regina, to the Yellow Vest movement (he is not a fan), to his new plans to fight for issues that matter to the people he calls “Ruffneck Nation.”

The speakers at the rally included Calgary municipal politicians which shouldn’t have been unusual or controversial, except those speakers ended up making themselves both!

Mayor Nenshi tried to speak French to the rally-goers, which earned him loud boos.

Then he lectured the attendees on the merits of fighting climate change.

Councillor Peter Dejong was also booed after telling the crowd to support Quebec cheese and to avoid trade embargoes and boycotts. In response to the criticism from the crowd, he whined, “and you call yourselves Canadian? Wow.”

How could these two be so tone deaf and out of touch with the concerns of the people in their own city that they turned a pro-pipeline rally against themselves?

Tonight William McBeath from Save Calgary joins me to discuss how the rally went sideways for Calgary's purple prince, Mayor Nenshi, and we also examine city hall’s latest attempts to get a handle on renegade rookie councillor Jeromy Farkas.

It’s been a horrible week for Nenshi and it’s only Wednesday!

It’s a homegrown recession caused by two levels of government who have no will or desire to build pipelines to export markets.

Despite all the positive things they’re saying right now about Alberta’s oil and gas, these politicians, Notley and Trudeau, have surrounded themselves with the leading voices of the “No to oil” movement, putting people like Brian Topp, Tzeporah Berman, and Gerald Butts in positions of influence and power over Alberta’s resource sector.

We’ve been fully colonized by the radical environmental movement and now regular families are paying the price.

Job losses, foreclosures, and bankruptcies are all too commonplace.

Trudeau, while in Argentina, even insinuated that Canadian men who work on pipeline construction would cause adverse “social impacts” in rural communities.

However, now the people who orchestrated this catastrophe are saying they are the ones best able to repair it. Trudeau bought a pipeline that wasn’t for sale and stopped the expansion of it, and Notley is cutting oil production by nearly 9 per cent.

It’s exactly what Greenpeace would do if they were in charge. No drilling. No pipelines.

But the people have had enough. Rolling rallies, protests against the Prime Minister and his cabinet are becoming the norm in Alberta and largely apolitical people, folks normally interested in just going to work and paying their bills, are getting politically motivated to change their governments.

Will the momentum for change carry through 2019? Or are people worn out, dejected and beaten down by the economy and two governments that refuse to listen?

Joining me tonight is Robbie Picard of Oil Sands Strong to discuss the Prime Minister’s insult to Canadian men in front of the international press, Rachel Notley’s cap on oil production and what the future holds for Alberta’s oil and gas workforce.
