Summary
In the wake of a new report from an investigation into police leaks during the protests in Ottawa, Canada, it was revealed that the leaks may have come from within the ranks of the police force itself, and not just from members of the tactical response team.
Transcript
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
