Newly elected MP David Bexte delivered his first speech in the House of Commons this past week, earnestly articulating the thoughts and fears of Bow River, Alberta, the riding that gave him "one of the strongest mandates in the country."

During Friday’s Rebel Roundup livestream, Drea Humphrey and Sheila Gunn Reid reacted to Bexte's impassioned remarks, agreeing that the first-time MP captured the current Western sentiment perfectly.

"Mr. Speaker, the riding that sent me here is called Bow River," said Bexte. "The Bow [River] runs past oil wells shut down by people who've never set foot on a rig. It flows past farms taxed by bureaucrats who couldn't grow a weed. It flows past churches left to burn. While politicians offered excuses instead of justice, it flows past the homes of veterans, seniors, and families forgotten by the system, but not by me. The beautiful thing about the Bow is this: even when the government grinds to a halt, it keeps flowing." 

Please help Rebel News stand up for the West!

Ottawa’s been screwing the West for decades — Trudeau's carbon taxes, Carney’s smug elitism, and laws like Bill C-69 that sabotage our prosperity. The message from the East? Shut up, pay up, and stay in your place. We’re done with that. And we think you are too. That's why Rebel News is launching a campaign to give Albertans and the West a voice — and we need your help to kick it off. Please help us fund a province-wide poll on Alberta independence, emergency townhalls, and fearless journalism that tells the truth about how badly Ottawa treats the West. If you're fed up with being trampled by the Laurentian elite, chip in now. We’re not taking it anymore!
