00:00:00.000 The CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, you know, recently they felt a lot just like
00:00:05.360 full-blown propaganda, but it seems with this report, they're turning a new leaf and starting
00:00:10.240 to just sound like an authoritarian mouthpiece. I'm a Canadian. My name's Greg. Let's watch this
00:00:15.780 video investigating police leaks during the truck convoy protests. This was released just this week.
00:00:22.740 Earlier this year, all eyes were on Ottawa. For three freezing weeks this winter, the national
00:00:29.280 capital was occupied by hundreds of trucks, cars, tents, and protesters, all here in opposition to
00:00:36.040 vaccine mandates, vaccines themselves, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government.
00:00:41.560 Wow. They actually got the reasons right there. They didn't make up any nonsense about wanting to
00:00:47.500 overture the government. No, yeah, we were protesting mandates. They finally got it right. Maybe they
00:00:53.200 have to say that now because of the inquiry. I don't know. At least they got that right, though.
00:00:57.000 That's new. As the city laid under occupation for all those weeks, people across the country were
00:01:02.640 asking, where are the cops? They were everywhere. If you were down there, there were, I'm sorry,
00:01:11.740 there were cops everywhere. Like, they were all over the place. I'm not sure if you knew this,
00:01:16.800 CBC, but they had cops from London, Ontario. They had cops from, I think, well, they had cops from all
00:01:23.680 over Ontario, if I'm not mistaken. Montreal as well. There was a lot of cops. There was a lot of cops
00:01:29.700 there. Where the hell are the cops? Defund the police, by the way.
00:01:35.560 It turns out one of the critical problems facing the Ottawa Police Service and law enforcement more
00:01:42.760 broadly came from within the police themselves. Law enforcement and national security sources who
00:01:48.820 spoke to the national say there was a persistent problem of leaks of operational information from
00:01:55.120 police to the protesters. Interesting. The leaks were a persistent problem. So there wasn't just one
00:02:03.800 person leaking information. There was more than one cop or police officer leaking information. So
00:02:10.740 they clearly had some sort of sympathy for the truck convoy protests. And if you look at the sea of
00:02:17.680 people opposing mandates, many of which have been taken away, not all of them, but many of which have
00:02:24.340 been taken away. And I believe the majority of the country didn't like at the time. Yeah, you could
00:02:30.220 imagine cops having sympathy for these people. It's not that far fetched. But you know, thank you
00:02:35.780 for the all this creepy music. Because what's what's what's what's so scary? A police officer
00:02:44.580 is deciding to have sympathy for this peaceful protest? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. The tyrants of
00:02:50.720 this country are panicking do do do do do do these problems have been laid bare in recent weeks at
00:02:59.280 the public order emergency commission held here in ottawa at the commission we've heard from lawyer
00:03:04.440 keith wilson who represented some of the organizers of the convoy that headed to ottawa he said they
00:03:09.980 got advanced notice about some of the police operations before they even happened there was
00:03:15.560 numerous times where information would come into the operation center from various police sources
00:03:21.340 that a raid was imminent and it happened many times my sources say these leaks were so troubling
00:03:27.460 because they may have actually jeopardized operations to seize fuel that was being passed
00:03:31.660 around downtown and to clear out supply depots that kept the occupation going now ottawa police
00:03:36.960 i love how they're you know oh my god we weren't able to starve the protesters of fuel and resources
00:03:44.700 damn they're like so many times throughout this convoy the you know our public officials the news
00:03:53.460 media they're just doing backflips to avoid the conversation you know they're systematically trying
00:03:59.860 to stop they're raiding our supply centers at the at the protests you know like like they're doing so
00:04:05.680 much we saw during the inquiry they're texting each other texting each other you know hey what are we
00:04:10.520 going to do about these all of this effort to avoid the conversation so much effort to avoid just
00:04:16.540 talking to this massive protest and like it still continues today with it with this uh five head
00:04:21.640 clown they didn't have to cancel any operations because of any operational leaks but never oh so you
00:04:29.660 were super concerned super concerned about the leaks oh well i didn't actually change anything okay so
00:04:35.740 that concern wasn't okay nevertheless there was an anxiety inside the ottawa police service that their
00:04:41.680 fellow members who may be sympathetic to the occupation may have been the ones passing on information
00:04:46.600 do you hear that did you hear like how intense this music is passing on information to the occupation
00:04:53.700 inside the ottawa police service that their fellow members who may be sympathetic to the occupation
00:04:58.500 may have been the ones passing on information like guys what is the implication of this
00:05:04.700 there's police officers among us who dare to have sympathy for these filthy protesters can you believe
00:05:13.940 this like the implication is gross cbc you're essentially saying any police officer who is
00:05:21.320 sympathizing with a protest is this horrible villain peaceful protests by the way free food by the way
00:05:28.360 like you know feeding the homeless bouncing castles how dare how dare these people have sympathy
00:05:37.400 how dare these police not fall in line and beat them like this this is the cbc this is canadian
00:05:44.900 broadcasting corporation this is this is your tax dollars paying for this messaging oh man uh there
00:05:52.220 was some concern that possibly potential plan to clear rito sussex might have been leaked is that right 1.00
00:05:57.120 there were some concerns about information flowing out of you know the organization yes there was one
00:06:03.240 one member that i was aware of and we we shut down his access to uh his corporate accounts
00:06:08.820 but i don't know i don't know what came of that investigation and just at the time as a
00:06:14.940 precaution we shut down he wasn't currently working he was on leave absence
00:06:18.280 wow guys this is canada now where we casually just casually yeah we shut down his accounts
00:06:27.620 we just yeah yeah we like shut down his accounts or whatever just casually talking about that like
00:06:33.680 that's just something you do you you just shut down the person's accounts if they do something you
00:06:38.400 don't like uh signs that you might live in an authoritarian country you're casually casually just
00:06:44.940 talking about shutting down accounts and nobody bats an eye and i'm sure this cbc guy's not going
00:06:50.340 to say jack shit about it service have confirmed to me they've opened multiple investigations into
00:06:57.340 these leaks while they have launched disciplinary action against officers who donated to the convoy
00:07:02.240 they've not yet laid any charges based on those leaks ottawa police have confirmed they have another
00:07:07.860 yeah and like really man really guys really with these mandates gone now some of them you know
00:07:17.100 these police officers support ending the mandates so they supported these protests monetarily like like
00:07:25.320 why is that so illegitimate why is that like framed as the most horrible thing oh yeah because you're an
00:07:32.100 authoritarian mouthpiece cbc you're here to ah discipline any police officer who does not fall
00:07:38.940 in line so awful man this country sucks investigation ongoing investigating claims made at the commission
00:07:47.040 a couple weeks ago deputy chief steve bell confirmed that some of that information has led to an ongoing
00:07:52.780 investigation the information that was um presented yesterday at the emergency act uh inquiry was net new
00:08:00.900 information to us that we had not yet investigated and we've already as of last night have initiated an
00:08:06.420 internal investigation later on as the federal government was preparing to invoke the emergencies
00:08:11.100 act and end of the occupation for good there were more leaks this time from the rcmp to jeremy mckenzie
00:08:17.480 the leader of the diagonal movement a far-right organization that has talked openly about killing public
00:08:23.460 officials oh wow oh wow oh wow they've changed their their definition it's a far-right organization
00:08:31.400 before you guys were calling it a militia a neo-nazi militia uh who believed in accelerationism and wanted
00:08:39.060 to incite a race war it looks like you guys walked that back you walked it back a little bit hey now it's
00:08:45.240 just a far-right organization and you're obviously taking jokes out of context to imply that they they have
00:08:51.260 violent intentions but uh you're still on the diagonal thing but you've kind of walked back
00:08:56.160 uh what this organization does great a fantastic photo of jeremy that's what you do to in the face
00:09:05.080 of an authoritarian you just yeah you look down on them like that i've got some bad news from uh some
00:09:11.920 sources inside the uh police infrastructure riot cops uh are being assembled and bust into the area
00:09:18.240 uh they're planning on mass arrests just a week does that sound like like does jeremy sound like
00:09:27.680 he has nefarious intentions or does it sound like he's just warning people of mass arrests
00:09:32.060 like it's so funny that they any clip you you spin of uh of jeremy here like it doesn't fit the
00:09:40.580 narrative at all maybe i'm biased because i know him but uh can you imagine being some cbc person who's
00:09:46.200 like watching this and believing every word of it they're out there it's scary later police disrupted
00:09:53.900 what they say was a plot to murder rcmp officers and civilians in coots alberta yeah that's an
00:10:00.440 important detail right that the police they say they say it was a plot to kill police officers and
00:10:08.540 civilians um still looking for the receipts on that one been talking to some people out there and it
00:10:15.340 sounds pretty crazy in terms of the uh you know the the lack of details that they have in regards to
00:10:23.260 this plot to uh kill rcmp officers and civilians but um anyway the members arrested have ties to the
00:10:33.960 diagonal movement police also seized more than a dozen long gun handguns and a whole bunch of
00:10:39.400 ammunition and high capacity magazines at the same time mckenzie was in ottawa so was alex vreend a
00:10:45.380 fellow member of diagonal who on his social media channels was posting what he said were communications
00:10:51.540 from the ottawa police service letting him know about future operations i mean you gotta ask yourself
00:10:58.060 why why do these police officers trust these gentlemen why why do they trust jeremy mckenzie
00:11:06.220 why do they trust alex vreend you know is it because they're part of a militia
00:11:10.780 or are they just regular people that they trust they're just regular people who care about the country
00:11:18.960 and they have a platform because they're charming and funny uh and charismatic individuals right
00:11:25.400 it's like you have sympathy for the protest you know your bro jeremy or you know your bro alex
00:11:30.960 and it's like hey man look at this information maybe you should broadcast it so let the people know
00:11:35.860 you know it's it's it's so crazy that they're trying to vilify basically police officers who
00:11:43.020 actually have a heart still they actually have a conscience of some kind and they uh yeah they they
00:11:49.600 they they want to do the right thing they want to end mandates just like everybody else and it's so
00:11:54.400 funny how this um what's the word nerd is trying to continually just vilify just kind of like more and
00:12:02.240 more lies more and more unsubstantiated claims um yeah
00:12:07.140 mckenzie testified that it was an rcmp officer who had reached out directly to offer him this
00:12:14.280 information after the emergencies act was invoked that rcmp officer provided him something else
00:12:20.280 uh this person had sent me um well there were there were screenshots i i guess of either a whatsapp
00:12:27.280 uh group chat or telegram and i said i will publish this and they said that's that's why we sent it to
00:12:32.300 you um so i did i released that on telegram and that you know went out those groups uh so this is a
00:12:39.060 good point to emphasize jeremy mckenzie was the person who leaked these group chats from rcmp officers rcmp
00:12:45.280 officers who were basically celebrating the violence against peaceful protesters that was
00:12:50.240 jeremy mckenzie funny enough after he posted these leaks uh rebel news took those images and put a fat
00:12:56.860 rebel news watermark on it and started to post about it so almost like they were trying to take the
00:13:01.820 credit but it was actually jeremy mckenzie the boogeyman the scary boogeyman jeremy mckenzie was the
00:13:07.720 person that this rcmp officer trusted enough with this information uh you know if you actually look at
00:13:14.380 the information that cbc is talking about objectively it kind of makes jeremy look like
00:13:19.360 the person who the police trusted and have sympathy for um and again because there's no evidence of him
00:13:25.580 being a scary boogeyman terrorist it's uh yeah well you know here hold hold this hold this l cbc uh
00:13:34.600 jeremy's out by the way uh jeremy jeremy's out he's free he's free on bail right now from saskatchewan
00:13:40.960 but i do want to show you some of these text messages that got leaked oh my god look at this
00:13:45.700 um time oh let's let's switch it so you can see it time for the protesters to hear our jack boots on
00:13:55.280 the ground whoa whoa whoa nixon this is a kinder gentler rcmp and then andrew says okay we can give
00:14:03.220 out free hugs and unicorns he says sarcastically or ironically um cheers crew here's to some sweet
00:14:11.300 overtime this weekend for our own on-call members don't kick all of them out until next week's group
00:14:17.280 gets our turn so they're talking about making money being there i guess that's not that bad
00:14:21.340 but uh let's continue um this is this is the clip of a police horse trampling a woman and trampling a
00:14:30.360 man we all seen that police horse clip wow that's awesome this is an rcmp officer that's awesome
00:14:37.800 uh we only think we're living the dream that's what we need to do and then continues just watch
00:14:47.580 that horse video that's awesome we should practice that maneuver agreed
00:14:53.400 why the hell isn't cbc gonna talk about this the fact that these rcmp officers are celebrating
00:15:03.260 violence against peaceful protesters that wasn't a priority for you cbc because you're an authoritarian
00:15:09.960 mouthpiece you're a mouthpiece for an authoritarian state you're not just propaganda anymore you're
00:15:15.740 essentially implicitly endorsing violence and wanting to discipline and vilify any police officer
00:15:23.220 who does not obey king almighty trudeau this is disgusting let's get through this let's finish
00:15:29.260 this chats show rcmp officers in downtown ottawa getting ready to deploy in that major operation
00:15:36.200 that reclaimed the capital they included the names faces and phone numbers of those rcmp officers
00:15:42.020 so i'm just waiting to chat with christian luprecht he is an expert on all things security
00:15:48.200 intelligence and policing i'm keen to get a sense of exactly what these leaks mean for the
00:15:52.940 ottawa police service and the rcmp hmm what do they mean what do they mean did you did you see
00:15:57.540 the leaks where they to the way they celebrate uh stomping stomping on a woman with a police horse
00:16:03.360 did you see that part cbc you sifted through all the information you have all the information but
00:16:08.880 you're not going to focus on that are you it's so it's so dishonest guys it's so dishonest they're such 0.59
00:16:15.660 deceivers these people are evil um these people are evil and and i want to emphasize why do you think 0.52
00:16:23.800 the like the rcmp officer who leaked this information they could have leaked anything they could have
00:16:29.900 leaked any part of the conversation they wanted but they focused on the part where the police officers
00:16:36.240 are celebrating trampling on police horses like that's one of the things that they decided maybe
00:16:42.340 this is a part that the public should see but cbc doesn't think so right so believable
00:16:50.980 and why they keep happening tactically of course it gives the protesters a significant leg up in terms
00:16:59.160 of uh anticipating police tactics police posture police resourcing you need to find the individual
00:17:06.120 i'm sorry what what can we what can we play that again let's play that back let's play that back
00:17:12.760 this is the concerns this is the concerns of uh these leaks police service and the rcmp
00:17:18.540 and why they keep happening tactically of course it gives the protesters a significant leg up in terms
00:17:25.580 of uh anticipating police tactics police posture police resourcing we need to find
00:17:31.900 oh my god yeah yeah okay so this this this tweet right here this is gonna help the protesters understand
00:17:41.720 police posture the tactics what what is the police planning protesters let's see uh oh they're drinking
00:17:49.280 a beer talking about working overtime yeah that's really gonna help us protesters figure it out right
00:17:55.760 that's really gonna help us protesters like you know undermine the police operations it again it's so
00:18:02.580 dishonest i don't know where they got this guy but it's it's so so so funny because if that were the case
00:18:09.420 if there were tweets or sorry if there were you know leaked messages from this group chat that showed
00:18:16.220 hey guys these are the tac these are the tactics we're using tomorrow then show the leak show that screenshot
00:18:22.420 to substantiate what this man is saying but they can't and it's quite the opposite they're just
00:18:28.380 showing rcmp officers who are celebrating violence this entire video from cbc this whole report is so
00:18:36.760 dishonest that i can't believe that my taxes go towards this
00:18:41.620 individuals that leaked intelligence and we need to make sure that they are prosecuted because you
00:18:49.020 couldn't think of a more fundamental breach of trust by a public officer and an officer that is
00:18:55.480 sworn to keep the peace at the same time we need to ask the broader questions about what would cause
00:19:01.420 an individual to share or leak that type of intelligence going uh having a conscience i have
00:19:09.980 an answer to that question what would cause someone to leak that information having a conscience having a
00:19:14.880 connection with your heart having a sort of um you know moral backbone they're there to keep the peace
00:19:23.320 yeah they're there to keep the peace so why are these rcmp officers in this group chat celebrating
00:19:29.000 stomping on a woman in a stomping on a a woman with a police horse they're there to keep the peace right
00:19:35.680 this is uh unfortunately this isn't really that surprising coming from cbc as i mentioned you
00:19:45.060 know they've been full-blown propaganda for now but this report is is disturbing i i think it is
00:19:50.360 they're them turning a new leaf they're casually talking about shutting down accounts if a police
00:19:56.200 officer dares step out of line and it's scary it's scary to me because this you know cbc is now sounding
00:20:04.840 like an authoritarian mouthpiece and the scariest part is is people listen to this stuff and they
00:20:10.560 don't even question it they listen to this stuff and they don't even question it but anyway i just
00:20:15.840 wanted to react to this garbage video from this uh garbage waste uh of canadian taxpayer dollars uh the
00:20:23.260 canadian broadcasting brainwashing corporation but um anyway we'll talk to you soon thanks for watching
