On Tuesday, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, testified before the Emergencies Act Inquiry into the usage of the act, and the way that the city handled itself during one of Canada's worst managed protests. The question to ask now though, is who do we point the finger to when it comes to the usage of emergency powers? Do we point it to the mayor, Doug Ford, or do we go right to the top and look to Trudeau?

Welcome back to the show no one admits to watching, and it may be true!! Mary Anne Ivison from the "Let's Take This Outside" podcast joins us to talk OTTAWA #FluTruxKlan hearing! Today, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson told the country what we already know: Doug Ford refused to help, lied about sending 1500 cops (he didn't), and refused to be part of any mtg to help the people of Ottawa. The PM and The Mayor's email exchanges were on display today, and it's all Doug's Fault. For real. Mary Anne lives in Ottawa and has some choice words for Premier Cheesecake. A US Psychologist and sex activist says, "young men are angry because they don't have enough sex, and she thinks women need to give it up more. We discuss; it is a woman's job to bang common sense into angry young men. Dean thinks not. Fed up with dating apps that don't share vaccine history or who your perfect match votes for?

Justin Trudeau continues his march toward authoritarian dictatorship by saying the Emergency Act needs to continue because the state of emergency is not over. His reasoning is that there might be more protests in the future and thus the state of emergency must stay in effect. Following his lead, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson wants to sell the vehicles towed during the protests to cover the city's expenses. Canada is quickly descending into a police state that seeks to not only punish but to destroy any opposition. Jeffrey Epstein's alleged modeling agent and pimp Jean-Luc Brunel was found dead in his Paris jail cell. This might sound familiar, but the cameras were reportedly not working at the time. We are witnessing a cover-up the likes of which hasn't been seen since the assassination of JFK. Of course, this means the corporate press won't report on it and will say anyone connecting the dots is crazy.
