Oh, it was a struggle session. Like a Maoist. Bloody Maoists, yeah. They were trying to put the hat on you and make you confess. Oh, definitely.

Yeah, that didn't go so well. I mean, if I recall, your grants, you always... Yeah.

Yeah, that didn't go so well. I mean, if I recall, your grants, you always... Yeah.

Yeah, that didn't go so well. I mean, if I recall, your grants, you always... Yeah.

We did, yeah. Yeah. You know what? This is one of those cases where the people were on one side and the institutions were another. That's where crowdfunding works sometimes. Yeah, right. Where it's sort of an 80-20 kind of thing. I mean, transgenderism in sports is another example of that. All the institutions are on one side and the people are on the other. Trump— Like pipelines in Canada.

I think so. It's 80-20, by the way. And I think people— I don't think a lot of grassroots people think about government grants for scholarship and academia, but they could see that you were being punished for it in a way that was designed to hurt you. So severely normal people said, well, we're going to – we did crowdfund sort of a replacement for that. Oh, yeah.

Rebel News has met some colorful characters over the years. That's for sure. You're one of them. That's for sure. Yeah. I mean, I think you've— You guys have roused a lot of rabble. But I think that's healthier than the alternative, which is a conformity. In these controversial days, air it out. Hear it out. Let the both sides clash. And that's what YouTube was like.

I used to be with a real TV station called Sun News Network. There were 200 folks. It had real studios across the country. My studio in Toronto was a million-dollar studio with five people working in the control room. It was a real operation. And a billionaire named Pierre-Carlo Pelladeau put a ton of dough into it. But it was sort of euthanized by Canada's TV regulator, the CRTC. How?

Well, in the end, the TV network had to do deals with different cable companies. Will you carry it? What channel will you carry it on? How much will you charge customers for it? How much will you pass on to Rebel News? And all of these things are regulated. And so the regulator basically euthanized it and said, we're going to give you a few... Regulators turn into censors at the drop of a hat.
