It's not yet clear. I think they just wanted to... Yeah, yeah, of course. And we said, come back with a warrant. And I don't think they're used to being talked to that way. For 10 hours, they shopped this around Quebec to try and find a judge. And God bless it, they couldn't find a judge to give them a search warrant.
That's the miracle of the story. That's for sure. Thank God. Now, we sued them, and they actually settled. They settled because they harassed a bunch of our people. They paid a bunch of our different journalists a certain sum of money. And then they wrote a letter, sort of a grudging, ironic apology. But it basically said, well, we didn't know who you were.
And you always had your journalistic rights. And we sued the Montreal police. They paid our people. The people who were roughed up, they arrested Menzies. Yeah, of course. And it took him to a crappy jail. Seems like his fate. Yeah, you know, Menzies, he's stubborn in a good way. And you don't want everyone in the world to be stubborn in a good way, but you want a few.
I always like to say he's one in a million. Pause. Thank God.
He's actually a national treasure. There's only a handful of journalists... who are on the street. A lot of journalists just sit at their desk and Google. How about get out into the world? You never know what you're going to see. And that's the rebel style. We love to travel also. We're from Canada. We got a fella in Melbourne, Australia, Abiyamini. That was a real lockdown center too.
Yeah, right. Just about as crazy as Montreal and Toronto. That's right. But we travel. For example... Every year we go to Davos, Switzerland. That's this town that the World Economic Forum takes over.
It sounds super boring, doesn't it? World Economic Forum. That sounds like, you know, economists studying the world. Yeah. Sounds good. It's not. These are... The masters of the universe. I call them the VVIPs. Yeah. These are prime ministers, presidents, royalty, pop culture stars.
I call it a crypto government. Here's what I mean.
You have members of government, Chrystia Freeland, Mark Carney. These are the two leading contenders.
They're both board members of the World Economic Forum. Justin Trudeau was a global young leader. And Klaus Schwab bragged, and I'm going to say it in this German accent, we have penetrated the cabinet of Canada.
Central metaphor intended. You've got to do it in that accent because he really is like a Bond supervillain. That's for sure.
I don't have a problem with rich people meeting to talk. Yeah, well, they're going to. But what do they do there? Here's why I call it a crypto government. Number one, a real government has an independent press. Just a scrutinized thing. The World Economic Forum, there's lots of journalists, but they pay to participate. So they'll never be skeptical or accountability journalists.
We go, but we are not allowed in. We're kept outside the security perimeter because we ask unvetted questions.
Yeah, yeah. Number two, in a real government, there's an opposition, and sometimes they rotate people through. that's a form of a check and balance. In a real government, there's a lobbyist registry.
I mean, it's a very high security place. It's hard to get there. They buy up every hotel room in town. So, we stay one town over and take the train. Right. So, it's isolated to protect. That's right. And so, we have to fly to Zurich, take three trains up, and we're not allowed in. So, we're just on the cold street. Where do you stay? We stay one town over called Closters.
We're in an Airbnb, typically. And they quintuple the prices that week. Of course. That week, more... The local airport, the private jet airport, they say that they make their whole year's money in that one week.
They come in and it's such a small airport that they drop off the VVIPs, but then the planes have to go fly to another airport to park. And then they come and, like, it's an extra flight just to park the plane. I've never seen anything more carbon intensive. And then there's helicopters.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, they're against fuel, and they're against...
And so they're in their private jets, but you have to take public transit. I was in the streets of Davos two weeks ago, and I see a guy handing out energy bars. Like, there's a lot of kiosks and people giving away grab bags and goodies, and it's cold, so they give away hot chocolate and tea. So one guy's giving away energy bars, and people are flocking to it. But I notice...
I notice on some box he has, it says insect protein. Oh, yeah. So I said, who are you? What are you? And he actually talked to me for 15 minutes. His company's called Pumba. And if you know your Disney movies, there's a character that eats insects called Pumba. Right, right. But on this candy bar, it does not say the word insect anywhere.
