Juno News - Canadians want more EVIDENCE on unmarked graves + Juno's 6 month anniversary (feat. Keean Bexte)

00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show. We have a great episode for you

00:00:06.040 today, folks. Kian Bextie, my co-founder here at Juno News, is joining us in just a few minutes.

00:00:10.920 And guess what, folks? Today is the six-month anniversary since we launched this organization,

00:00:15.120 Juno News, since Kian Bextie from Countersignal and myself from True North teamed up together to

00:00:19.380 launch a new free speech news outlet focused on fact-based journalism and telling the truth.

00:00:25.640 It has been an incredible ride so far, so we're going to go through some of the highlights.

00:00:30.500 And folks, this episode is brought to you by ExpressVPN, but more on them a little bit later.

00:00:35.920 I want to tell you about this new survey that was put out today by Angus Reid, talking about one of

00:00:41.620 what I think is one of the most important issues in the country, which is the story of the unmarked

00:00:46.680 graves, the alleged unmarked graves that were allegedly discovered in Kamloops back in 2021.

00:00:50.980 You can draw a straight line from that announcement, that bombshell, the absolutely

00:00:57.160 hyperbolic, over-exaggerated media claims, sort of calling them mass graves. And then all of a

00:01:03.060 sudden we had to say that Canada had committed genocide, making all kinds of unfounded accusations

00:01:07.360 against our country. You can draw a straight line to that and some of the craziness that is unfolding

00:01:11.980 today, including the story I mentioned yesterday about a judge ruling that private property had become

00:01:17.680 First Nations property. I'm going to talk about that again in just a few minutes. But first,

00:01:20.700 I want to go through this Angus Reid story because it is really interesting and I think

00:01:25.700 it's really good news for us here at Juno News and for the truth in Canada. Two thirds of

00:01:30.220 Canadians, according to this study, want additional evidence before accepting that soil anomalies

00:01:35.760 represent unmarked graves at Kamloops School. So this is something that they wouldn't have even

00:01:40.480 asked but wouldn't have even talked about a few years ago. And you can really see how the country

00:01:44.520 has shifted. In fact, when you take a closer look, you ask Canadians, which one is closer to your view?

00:01:50.340 So in the blue, 37% accept the claim that this is evidence of unmarked graves, even if no further

00:01:56.960 information is offered 37%, which folks, I still think that number is way too high. 37% of people

00:02:02.660 are willing to accept that priests and nuns and school teachers were murdering children and

00:02:08.900 clandestinely burying them in mass graves at residential schools. And they don't want any more 0.99

00:02:13.060 evidence. They just believe that claim and they're happy with it. And they just want to believe

00:02:17.280 First Nations claims and move on. But the more kind of optimistic side, the thing that makes me feel

00:02:23.000 confident and happy is that 67% of Canadians say, I don't think so. They say, we will only accept this

00:02:29.000 claim if further information is publicly available through verified and verified through an excavation.

00:02:35.040 So we will not believe that there are mass graves at residential schools unless we find human

00:02:40.360 reins and evidence. So let's treat these as a criminal investigation rather than just a political claim,

00:02:45.700 which is basically what's happened so far. When you take a closer look at the regional breakdown,

00:02:50.160 you can see that the number of people who are skeptical and want more evidence is highest in

00:02:53.980 the prairies, 74% in Alberta, 72% in Saskatchewan, 75% in Manitoba. In British Columbia, I guess it's

00:03:01.000 just pretty much a Canadian average. 64% say that they want more evidence. 36% say believe the claims.

00:03:07.100 And interestingly, out in Quebec, you see the highest number of people saying just accept the claim

00:03:13.740 without evidence. 45% and 55% say that they want more. Not surprisingly, the gender breakdown here

00:03:20.880 is such that women are more likely to believe a claim without evidence and just say, like,

00:03:25.800 it's my truth or it's their truth. Let's just believe their truth, basically. So you can see

00:03:29.680 young women in particularly, this is the only demographic in the country that the people who

00:03:35.000 just say believe their truth, 56%, whereas only 44% want more evidence. With older women, you get a 0.87

00:03:41.700 little bit more sensibility. And you can see with the men, it's really lopsided. Even young men,

00:03:47.900 37% want to believe their truth. And 67% want more evidence. For 35 to 54, it's only 27% versus 73%

00:03:58.140 say we want more evidence. And the same for older men. Now, interestingly, the next question they asked,

00:04:04.820 3 in 5 Canadians, 62%, oppose making residential school denialism a criminal offense. And basically,

00:04:13.880 it's even more damning. Look, the idea that you would criminalize speech, so just asking questions

00:04:19.260 about residential school, doing the kind of journalism that we do here at Journal News REA that

00:04:22.400 I do on the Candace Malcolm Show frequently, or someone like Professor Frances Whittowson and their

00:04:27.340 book that they put together, Grave Error, she's been going, and just basically telling the truth and

00:04:32.900 talking about what evidence actually exists, giving a historical recount of what the Indian residential

00:04:37.540 schools were actually like. Basically, this new law that's being proposed by the NDP banning

00:04:43.640 residential school denialism would make what she's doing a crime, would make what I'm doing a crime. 0.99

00:04:48.200 Our book, Grave Error, they specifically cite this book as an example of so-called residential school

00:04:54.300 denialism. And so whether Canadians actually support this, either the way that the survey says,

00:04:59.560 says 62% opposed, but it's actually much more than that, because you always have 15% or so of people

00:05:04.960 that just don't know, they're not familiar enough with the issue. And so if you look at the actual

00:05:09.740 number of people who would be in favor of, you know, making something like this illegal, saying you

00:05:16.360 cannot talk about this kind of thing, you get like 8%, 10% of Canadians, again, plus 16. So maybe like

00:05:23.560 25% of Canadians, which again, is still too high. Still too high. One in four Canadians want to ban speech,

00:05:28.280 basically. But the fact that the majority of the country is saying the other thing, I think it's good news. 0.99

00:05:33.360 This is why Juneau News exists, folks. We exist in part because of stories like the unmarked grave.

00:05:38.620 I think it's a hoax. I know Francis Whittowson just thinks it's media deception, that it's not necessarily a hoax

00:05:44.100 because there's no one necessarily behind it, pushing it. I do think that a lot of the bans that came out

00:05:49.160 and claimed to have discovered unmarked graves and bodies, they knew that they didn't actually

00:05:54.220 have evidence and they went with it anyway. So I would consider that a hoax. And certainly

00:05:58.560 a lot of members in the media that continue to push this story without the facts. We exposed

00:06:02.860 Jordan Tucker of the CBC doing exactly that. And Francis Whittowson had it on tape. I encourage you

00:06:08.660 to go check out that episode and go listen to that. I want to respond to something from our show

00:06:13.820 yesterday. So yesterday, we talked about this absolute bombshell BC Supreme Court case that ruled

00:06:19.780 that 800 acres of land in Richmond, British Columbia belongs to the Cowichan First Nations.

00:06:27.200 Basically, this land, which is industrial land, is partially crown land, partially owned by the

00:06:30.840 government, and also some private property that the land titles are invalid. This is what the judge

00:06:36.800 ruled, that the land titles invalid and defective. And therefore, it actually rightfully belongs to

00:06:44.260 the Cowichan tribe, just based on oral history. The tribe said that they went there and they did

00:06:48.820 fishing expositions, and that's where they caught salmon in the summer. And the court case was going

00:06:53.780 on for five years, the longest court case in Canadian history. And the judge ruled that the

00:06:58.540 land actually belongs to the First Nations. Now, I did my show about it. I talked about how this is

00:07:03.100 an absolute threat to everything that we believe in our country, right? Our country is founded on

00:07:09.080 private properties. I tend to believe that private property and freedom are intrinsically linked. You

00:07:14.360 cannot be free if you don't have the right to your property. Fundamentally, I think that's part of the

00:07:19.080 biggest problem with First Nations. In Canada, they don't have the same level of prosperity that you

00:07:24.280 and I can achieve because they don't have the same private property rights. Private property is so

00:07:28.720 important. And so when you have a judge ruling, as this judge did in British Columbia, Judge Barbara

00:07:34.480 Young, who, by the way, one of my viewers pointed out, was appointed by Stephen Harper. Stephen Harper,

00:07:38.900 the conservative prime minister, one of his biggest failings as a prime minister is his appointments,

00:07:43.140 his legal appointments. I'm a fan of Stephen Harper. I used to work at his government. I think

00:07:47.060 he did a lot right. But his judicial appointments were atrocious. And so this is one example of that,

00:07:53.140 Barbara Young. Now, I will note that there are a couple of, there's been a couple of pieces and

00:07:58.900 people pushing back against what I claimed in my show yesterday, notably Terry Glavin in the National

00:08:04.980 Post. His highlight says a better response to BC's Cowichan land ruling, calm down. So he basically

00:08:10.120 says this isn't really about private property. I know that the folks over at Northern Perspective

00:08:14.560 likewise did a fact check. Fact check, did BC Supreme Court steal private land and give it to First

00:08:19.880 Nations? Here's the truth. Look, I disagree with Ryan and Tanya on this one, and I'm happy to have them

00:08:24.400 on my show. So Ryan, if you're watching, come on the Candace Malcolm show and we will debate this

00:08:28.140 because I think that this is an absolutely dangerous precedent. And it says right here in the

00:08:34.140 judge's ruling that this will only affect private property when the property is sold. So here,

00:08:43.000 right here from the Globe Mail story, there are some privately held properties, but lawyers involved

00:08:46.040 in the case say that if the ruling stands, that land would not be affected until it was sold. So

00:08:51.900 until it's sold, I never said that they're going to get kicked off their land today, or that's going

00:08:56.040 to happen now. But obviously, if you own a property, and the government suddenly says that your title

00:09:00.940 is invalid and effective, and when you sell it, you're not going to have the title anymore,

00:09:06.840 or the person who's buying it from you, I mean, the value is gone. So you've lost your nest egg,

00:09:10.680 you've lost your whatever you're planning for retirement or to give to your children as

00:09:14.920 inheritance. You've lost the value of your private property is incredibly dangerous precedent.

00:09:19.200 It is incredibly dangerous that a judge can do this based on oral history. Again, Justice Young

00:09:26.360 wrote in her declaration that this will change a long established status quo and have significant

00:09:32.060 impact for those involved with the lands. So not saying that anyone's going to get kicked off their

00:09:38.320 lands. I'm not saying that this is like a South African situation where someone is going to come

00:09:42.480 and kick you off your land and take it. But that is the direction that we're headed. That is definitely 0.83

00:09:47.080 the direction that we're headed. And it's a bit complicated. I'm from British Columbia, I still have

00:09:51.700 many family members over there. And so I know that there are lots of places in British Columbia that

00:09:56.260 are on what they call 99-year leases, right? So it's a leasehold property, not a freehold property.

00:10:00.660 If it's a freehold property, you own it for N'Clear. If it's a leasehold, there's a set 99-year lease, 0.78

00:10:05.200 and then you have however much time is left on that lease, and ultimately would be up to the band to

00:10:10.220 decide whether they would renew it or not at the end of that. And so if you bought something as a

00:10:14.780 freehold, and then suddenly the government changes it to a leasehold, obviously that impacts the value

00:10:19.180 of your property. And it is a scary, scary concept. The idea that a judge can determine to take away

00:10:24.400 your property in a free and democratic society means that that country isn't very free and very

00:10:28.860 democratic anymore. Okay, folks, I want to bring on Key and Bexie, but before I do, I would like to

00:10:34.020 thank the sponsor of today's show. This is a new sponsor. Very excited to have them express VPN.

00:10:39.080 So Justin Trudeau laid the groundwork, but now with Carney in charge, it feels like the government's

00:10:43.360 getting bolder about deciding what you're allowed to see online. News stories disappear from social media,

00:10:48.460 content gets blocked, and it's all framed as safety and regulation. But really, it's about

00:10:53.700 control. You and I both know that. That's why I use Express VPN. It lets me get around those blocks

00:10:58.140 and access the internet like a free person, not just whatever Ottawa decides is acceptable for me

00:11:03.580 to see. You can do the same. So go visit CandiceMalcolm.com slash Express VPN. Again,

00:11:08.460 that's CandiceMalcolm.com slash Express VPN. And viewers of the Candice Malcolm Show get a special

00:11:19.300 I am pleased to welcome my co-founder of Juno News, Kian Bexie. Kian, welcome to the show.

00:11:25.760 Thanks for having me.

00:11:26.940 And happy anniversary, man. It's been six months. I didn't get you any chocolate or any flowers,

00:11:31.000 but it's been a fun ride so far. So what stands out for you so far, six months in?

00:11:36.000 Well, I would be remiss to not mention the election. Any of our viewers will remember the

00:11:44.420 impact that we had. We covered, I think, tons of really, really interesting content back then.

00:11:51.820 And I think that was our first or second month of operation. And we had close to 8 million views

00:11:59.920 in the month of the election, which is just insane numbers. Like that, that eclipses

00:12:07.540 a lot of the mainstream media in terms of what they're able to get. But it speaks to why we do

00:12:13.540 this. One, because we are having a huge impact. We're able to inform Canadians when the mainstream

00:12:19.400 media fails to do so, when they try to sweep things under the rug or lie about them, worst case

00:12:24.740 scenario. We come in with the truth, uncensored, unfiltered, and it's honest. And sometimes it

00:12:31.260 doesn't, you know, it doesn't make people feel good. It doesn't, it doesn't hold any punches.

00:12:37.940 And we always like to punch up here, but it's got to be done. And people, I mean, the numbers speak

00:12:44.400 for themselves. When, when people are, when, you know, I think we are the largest independent news

00:12:50.300 network in the country now, we're growing so quickly and it speaks to how valuable of a service

00:12:57.800 Juno News is providing to Canadians right now. Well, a hundred percent. And I remember, I agree 1.00

00:13:03.600 with you, 8 million was incredible during the election, but Kian, I looked at it just this 0.52

00:13:07.760 morning to see what our views were like on our website. And, you know, you think it's the summer,

00:13:11.660 it's kind of slow. Most people are kind of not as engaged in political news as they might be when

00:13:17.320 the House is in session or during election. In just the last 30 days, so the second half of July,

00:13:22.420 first half of August, we've had 10.2 million visitors on our, on our website. So Juno has

00:13:28.300 continued to grow, continue to have a big influence. I think we are the biggest in terms of subscription.

00:13:34.520 And it's kind of funny, Kian, because I know that when you and I first started discussing the

00:13:38.920 possibility of a merger or working together, we were kind of imagining that there would be a

00:13:43.200 Pierre Poly of government and that potentially he would be defunding the CBC. And we were talking

00:13:48.040 about how Canadians need an alternative, right? If CBC is going to get defunded, they'll probably

00:13:51.520 disappear or at least get very diminished because they don't really have a good business case.

00:13:56.580 And so where are Canadians going to get their news? Where are they going to get effect-based

00:13:59.140 journalism from? And that's what we wanted to provide. Things have obviously changed. I mean,

00:14:03.620 I think that President Donald Trump with the tariffs and the 51st state rhetoric really threw a curveball

00:14:09.140 into the Canadian election. The election did not go the way that I wanted it. I don't think you were

00:14:13.760 happy with the results. And so here we are, you know, we live to fight another day. And I think that

00:14:19.320 independent media is even more important when we are facing sort of the liberal tyranny that we live

00:14:26.580 under, where we just have, you know, governments that believe in censoring the internet, governments

00:14:31.720 believe in government-funded journalism, like totally the antithesis of what Canada

00:14:37.760 is supposed to stand for, right? We still have mass migration. We still have deception around First

00:14:44.600 Nations and the history of our country being rewritten. You know, there's so many problems

00:14:49.420 that were created under Trudeau and we sort of see a continuation under Mark Carney. How do you think

00:14:56.480 that changes the job that you and I do on a daily basis? Well, when I was imagining a PR government,

00:15:03.640 I was looking at it from the perspective of pulling him to the right and making sure that he didn't

00:15:10.120 think that he could just, sorry, I'm about to sneeze. I was worried that he was going to think

00:15:14.620 that he could govern to the center. My goodness. And it was our goal to pull him to the right,

00:15:24.200 to make sure that he was held accountable to a conservative audience, to the conservative base

00:15:28.120 that elected him. Now that that hasn't happened, I don't know if my goal has really changed. I want

00:15:34.060 to make sure that Mark Carney isn't allowed to run wild with the leftists that propped up

00:15:39.640 Justin Trudeau over the last 10 years. Our job is to hold him accountable from every direction,

00:15:46.980 to make sure that his conflicts of interests are exposed, to make sure that the bogus and garbage

00:15:53.320 legislation that the morons that were propping up Trudeau are still pushing forward is exposed,

00:15:59.080 and the Canadians understand exactly the situation that our country is in. And it's not just Mark

00:16:05.000 Carney that we need to focus on. It's not just Pierre Polyev that we need to focus on. These

00:16:09.160 activist judges that are rewriting the foundation of what it means to be Canadian and to live in Canada

00:16:15.800 by handing private property to radical Indian bands is wrong. And Canadians will not stand by it. 0.92

00:16:29.720 The CBC will though. And that means that we need to be there to explain to Canadians what is happening,

00:16:36.660 to read through the court rulings, read through the facts, digest it, and share it and inform Canadians

00:16:41.800 so that they know what's going on, so that they have the information that they need to stand up and

00:16:46.840 fight back themselves. And that's a job that I take deeply personally. And I think that it's

00:16:54.600 extremely important that we do so. Because when it comes to protecting Canadians' rights to private

00:17:00.600 property, that's one thing. But we're also on the front lines of protecting free speech. We're on the

00:17:06.520 front lines of protecting the rights of people to be journalists and to be media in this country,

00:17:13.160 which the sands are shifting under our feet as we speak. You said it about this ExpressVPN thing

00:17:20.600 just a few minutes ago. It started with Justin Trudeau. But Mark Carney hasn't changed the tune

00:17:27.080 of the Liberal government and the Government of Canada when it comes to attacking journalists,

00:17:32.440 attacking free speech, and changing the rules that we've expected to be true for the last

00:17:40.040 you know, century and a half of Canada existing. We thought that this was a free country. We thought

00:17:45.080 that the media had inalienable rights that the government couldn't interfere with. That's turning

00:17:52.440 out to not be true. And Mark Carney has to be held accountable for that.

00:17:56.840 Mark Carney Well, 100%. And it's not just the federal government. It's not just the liberals.

00:18:01.880 There is a problem in our media landscape and with a lot of the other voices in media, right? So

00:18:07.160 basically what happened in this country is that the CBC was always kind of left-leaning. And I don't

00:18:12.120 know, sometime around the first Trump administration, they just went hard left, hard left. It became sort

00:18:18.360 of a post-truth world where they didn't even care about facts. They only cared about narratives. And the rest of

00:18:23.080 the legacy media kind of went along with it. Like you had to, it was kind of like a cultural revolution

00:18:28.600 in China. Like you kind of had to like browbeat anyone who had dissenting views. And basically they

00:18:34.280 purged conservative or just common sense voices from the legacy media or previously common sense people

00:18:41.880 like Charles Adler used to be kind of more on the political right. He shifted hard to the political

00:18:47.080 left, right? And so the media took a marked step to the left. They went more and more left-wing and

00:18:53.000 they've removed conservative, even centrist voices from their platforms. A couple of notable examples,

00:18:59.400 Andrew Lawton, who was a long-time radio host in London, Ontario, got removed because they just didn't

00:19:03.480 want pro-life voice on their airwaves. I was eventually removed from my column. I'd written a column for

00:19:08.840 eight years, almost a decade, in the Toronto Sun. It was syndicated across Post Media. And I got removed from

00:19:15.240 that in 2021. And so they basically just decided that they didn't want any conservative voices in

00:19:20.120 media. And what did that do? That created a market space, right? It's like half the country is kind

00:19:25.960 of conservative or at least maybe skeptical of the legacy media narrative. The legacy media really

00:19:30.360 stopped doing journalism and started just doing pure activism, pushing out agendas, pushing out a

00:19:35.240 narrative. And they left this opening, right? And so there were a bunch of little upstart conservative

00:19:40.520 media outlets or just sort of centrist media outlets, center-right media outlets. And what the legacy

00:19:45.080 media then did is they turned around and started calling those groups far-right. And you and I get

00:19:49.080 this quite a bit, Kian, where they try to discredit us by just saying, well, they're far-right.

00:19:53.640 And it's like, okay, what makes us far-right, right? When we first launched Juno News, Andrew Coyne

00:19:59.720 wrote a column in the Globe and Mail calling Juno News far-right. And I got into an argument with his

00:20:04.520 editor. And I was like, what about Juno News' far-right? Explain to me how I personally am far-right.

00:20:11.240 And she couldn't. And she just said, look, our columnists get a degree of latitude. And also,

00:20:16.920 he didn't call you far-right. He called Juno News far-right. I bring this up because I wanted to

00:20:22.680 specifically ask you about this piece. There's an organization called Anti-Hate Network,

00:20:26.920 the Anti-Hate Network, anti-hatenetwork.ca. And they wrote an article about us after the debate.

00:20:32.360 So just to provide clarity for folks, the Anti-Hate Network is a government-funded organization.

00:20:37.640 They exist because of grants from the Trudeau government and now, I believe, from the Kearney

00:20:42.680 government. And their whole mandate is what they say to expose hate on the far-right. They don't

00:20:47.640 focus on radical Islam. They don't focus on the Hamasniks dominating the streets. They only focus 0.99

00:20:53.720 on what they call right-wing, far-right, white supremacist, neo-Nazi movements. And they kind

00:20:59.640 of conflate all those things together, right? So on their website, many times they describe the far-right,

00:21:04.920 and they use terms like neo-Nazi and white supremacist. And then here they had an article

00:21:09.320 about Juno News after the debates, the leaders debate scrums. The headline says far-right media

00:21:16.440 outlets dominate post-debate scrum. Six of the 17 reporters who asked questions came from Rebel News,

00:21:22.440 True North, and Juno News, okay? So in one breath, they say the far-right is an extreme problem to do

00:21:28.840 with all of these crazy, like, Nazi-ology. And then they're also like, oh yeah, and True North,

00:21:33.720 Juno News, and The Rebel are all also far-right. The article is just ridiculous. Like, they basically

00:21:39.560 just complain that you and Alex Zoltan managed to get to the front of the line to ask your questions

00:21:45.080 to Mark Carney before other journalists, and somehow that's like a government problem or something like

00:21:50.200 that. Like, to me, it's just like, these journalists aren't very good at like, you know, if you,

00:21:55.560 part of being a journalist and the skill is getting a question to the leader. So figuring

00:21:59.560 out how to get your question in. And it just seems like they, I mean, it's totally over the top.

00:22:04.760 I don't take a lot from Anti-Hate Network. I think it's a totally disgraced organization that should

00:22:09.880 not exist. And hopefully if Pierre Polyev does win an election, he will defund this organization. But

00:22:14.760 I just wanted to get your thoughts on that specific article. Yeah, you know, the Anti-Hate Network is this

00:22:22.920 band of basement dwelling neckbeards that have nothing going for them in their lives outside

00:22:31.320 of government grants that fuel their ability to, to smear and lie about anyone who thinks that

00:22:41.000 the government should tax people less so that we're, you know, they have less, less, the government has

00:22:47.960 less agency to give grants to morons like these people. Like if they, if you think the taxes

00:22:52.600 should be lower, you're a white supremacist to them. If you think that, if you think, if you've

00:22:57.720 ever had a conservative idea, cross your mind, you are a white supremacist Nazi. You are, you might as

00:23:04.280 well have a membership to Hitler's Nazi party in the Third Reich. That is, that's what goes through

00:23:09.640 these morons head. And then they pontificate it on this website domain that they're only able to

00:23:15.160 afford because of government grants. They actually wouldn't be able to afford it without it.

00:23:19.320 Um, and maybe they get some private donor funding from, you know, some, I, I, I'm not gonna, I'm not

00:23:25.320 gonna guess where they might get other money from, but, um, it's a joke. And, you know, they've been

00:23:31.400 following me since I was a student in university, uh, saying that I am these terrible things, which I'm

00:23:37.400 obviously not. Um, you, you know, you, you and I have become friends over the last several years.

00:23:42.280 And I think that, you know, as well as anyone that I'm the furthest thing from a white supremacist,

00:23:47.400 I'm very much a conservative. And I might even say that I'm like a very much a right wing person,

00:23:53.160 like more than most people. But does that make me, uh, you know, does that make me a Nazi? No.

00:23:59.000 Does that make anyone a Nazi? If they think that, you know, if they think that immigration should be

00:24:03.400 lower, for example, which is one of the things that just ticks them off, they'll call you a Nazi real

00:24:07.320 quick. If you think immigration should be reduced, let alone eliminated or net zero or net negative,

00:24:14.520 even, uh, they, they will just call you the most harshest crude things in the world. Once a sensible

00:24:20.680 government. And I, I might even say that Mark Carney is slightly more sensible than Justin Trudeau.

00:24:26.040 I think if I were them, I'd be sweating bullets right now that their grant funding might not last.

00:24:31.800 And they're going to be grasping at straws to create this boogeyman, this ghost, uh, this,

00:24:37.160 this thing for Canadians and the government and MPs to be worried about that. There's this like surge

00:24:42.920 of racism, Nazism and right, like white supremacy in Canada so that they can justify the grants that

00:24:49.800 they get that pays, uh, their mother basement rent. So, uh, they're going to pretend like there's this big

00:24:56.920 issue. There's not, it's obvious. Uh, when you look at the issues in terms of hate in this country,

00:25:03.080 uh, it, it, it is the hate marchers on the street that are attacking Jewish fathers on the street.

00:25:11.000 These, the, we, the government of Canada literally shipped in ISIS women, uh, families, 1.00

00:25:18.600 ISIS families from Syria and gave them candy and, and room service. Uh, when ISIS was a huge issue, 0.66

00:25:25.880 they're like, no, no, no, you should come to Canada and we'll keep you safe. This is your home.

00:25:30.120 And they, they think that that is not a problem, but we are, we are the big boogeyman in the room,

00:25:34.920 which really tells you something. I think that they, they're willing to ignore Hamas agents of Hamas,

00:25:40.840 uh, agents of, uh, the, the Iranian national guard in Canada. And they think that that's not an issue.

00:25:48.520 That's not, that's not what they're going to spend their precious grant money on. No,

00:25:51.160 they're going to focus on us. It's a joke. These people are despicable. Uh, and, uh,

00:25:55.640 they're not going to last long. They're not, because they don't have trio around anymore to

00:25:59.880 coddle them and pretend like there is this big white supremacist boogeyman in the room.

00:26:03.880 Well, a hundred percent, there are actual real national security issues. There are real security

00:26:07.480 threats. You mentioned the Iranian, um, coups force, like, like Canada has the largest number of

00:26:12.600 Iranian regime officials living in our country, thanks to the territorial government and the anti-hate

00:26:17.720 network just doesn't care. And actually they, they exposed it. We have the receipts right here.

00:26:21.080 Ariella Kimmel, who I actually used to work with in the federal government. Um, she was talking about

00:26:25.560 how, so, so basically after the October 7th attack, anti-hate network didn't say anything. They didn't

00:26:30.200 condemn it. They didn't say anything. And then like a month later, they finally put something out and

00:26:34.920 it said how Canada's far right is spinning the war to its advantage, right? So they finally found a way

00:26:40.440 to tie it to the far right. So Ariel Kimmel just says it's almost comical months after the massacres in

00:26:45.240 Israel. Um, she goes on to just say the anti-hate network finally put something out and it's somehow

00:26:49.560 blaming the right. Bernie Farber, who is, I believe he's like the founder or was the former executive

00:26:54.840 director of this organization, says, um, not just the right, but the far right, white supremacists,

00:26:59.320 neo-Nazis and the like are actively, especially now targeting both Jews and Muslims. So again,

00:27:04.120 they found a way to spit it. And notice how he says the far right, right? So he's like, oh,

00:27:07.720 it's not just the right, it's the far right. But just remember in that news article, they called you and I

00:27:12.200 have far right. So when they're talking about far right, they just mean conservatives. They

00:27:15.480 mean mainstream conservatives. Anyway, Ariella and Bernie go back and forth. And finally,

00:27:20.200 at the end of this thread, Bernie lets cat out of the bag. He says, Ariella, the anti-hate.ca

00:27:26.520 focuses on the extreme right. That is what it does. I wish that we had the resources to do more. We just

00:27:31.800 don't. So there it is. They don't care about extremisms and radical Islam. They don't care about 0.83

00:27:36.520 foreign regime officials in the country. They don't care about the far left and Tifa. Hey,

00:27:40.840 a church in Montreal was firebombed last week on camera by Antifa while they were flying a flag.

00:27:46.360 That's outside their purview. They only focus on the far right and they get government funds

00:27:50.440 to do it. Of course, there is no equivalent on the other side, right? There never is.

00:27:53.800 And, you know, you mentioned that you consider yourself right wing. When I was going back and

00:27:58.120 forth with the editor of the Globe and Mail about whether or not it's fair to call me far right,

00:28:02.600 I said, look, like, I'm a mother. I have four kids. I'm married. I'm a Christian. Like,

00:28:07.960 I was part of the conservative party. I worked for Jason Kenney. I've worked for Danielle Smith.

00:28:12.040 I wrote for the Toronto Sun for almost a decade. I'm mainstream. I interviewed Pierre Polyev. Like,

00:28:17.320 like, how is it that you can call me far right? I'm like a mainstream normal Canadian.

00:28:21.720 And again, she just had to say, well, it's not just you. It's your organization, which,

00:28:25.880 you know, when you start an organization, there isn't really much of a difference. Like calling my

00:28:30.200 organization far right, but saying that I'm not is just it's it's just total like mental gymnastics

00:28:37.880 basically. Well, I want to end on a positive note, Kian, not just talking about some of our detractors.

00:28:43.880 And so I noticed that we were named as one of the top 20 sub stack influencers in the world.

00:28:51.080 So this was an article written by a platform called Favicon. The top 20 sub stack influencers

00:28:58.200 in world politics in 2025. And we are ranked number four in the entire world. All of the other ones

00:29:03.880 in the top 10, I believe, are all Americans. There's a couple other Canadians on the list. Paul

00:29:08.280 Wells was number 13. Jen Gerson line was 15. And all the way near the top number four is Juno News.

00:29:16.760 So I think it's really exciting just to be having, I guess, that influence on a global stage even

00:29:23.160 to see our small little Canadian media company grow so much. It's really exciting. Why don't you

00:29:28.120 you tell the audience a little bit about what we have in store for the rest of the year and for the

00:29:33.560 future? Yeah, I mean, that's that's such great news. And it's so rewarding to actually see real

00:29:40.120 results. I'll say it right now that the anti-hate network is never going to rank on a global list of

00:29:46.280 influence like that. And as I said earlier, the reason why we have grown so quickly is because we're

00:29:53.160 brutally honest, we punch hard, we punch up. And, and we have a national network that we've quickly

00:30:02.440 grown across the country, where we can cover any story, look from from a local political issue,

00:30:09.960 to a national issue in Ottawa, and everywhere in between. We have create we have exposed why the

00:30:17.640 mainstream media is failing because they haven't been able to be as nimble as us. They haven't been able to

00:30:22.120 be as honest as us. We, we are so lucky that we do not, like the anti-hate network, rely on a grant

00:30:32.200 from a political benefactor to continue our operations. We don't need to lie through our teeth

00:30:38.680 or create some fake boogeyman in order to continue doing what we do to continue sharing the truth,

00:30:46.200 to continue our research and deep dives and documentaries that we're working on. We don't

00:30:51.240 rely on any of that. We rely on our viewers, not even through the donation model that the

00:30:56.600 Counter Signal used to rely quite heavily on, which, you know, I'm glad we did because that

00:31:03.720 helped the Counter Signal grow really quickly as well. And it was a really important part of

00:31:08.120 our business model. And we still do take donations here at Junior News. We're not going to say no,

00:31:12.520 because it helps us hire more. It helps us do more. It helps us create these documentaries that

00:31:17.800 we're talking about. I don't know if you've shared that with your audience yet, that we're working on

00:31:21.160 these longer form content pieces now. But what we do is we rely on the subscriptions of people.

00:31:27.160 It's a, it's a marketplace. People can subscribe where they don't have to subscribe. And more often

00:31:33.160 than not, people decide, yeah, I want to see the news that Junior News is producing because they're the

00:31:37.400 only ones that I can trust. I can't trust the CBC. I can't trust the Toronto Star to tell me what is

00:31:43.400 honestly going on in Richmond, where people's houses are being confiscated by the state.

00:31:49.400 Not being confiscated. I shouldn't say that. But their land is, the title is being taken away.

00:31:53.480 The value is zero. Who's going to buy that property now? And the CBC is not saying that.

00:32:00.040 They're talking about how it's a win for global Indigenous rights, because allegedly these people

00:32:07.160 fished on a river nearby once. So let's just invalidate tens of millions, if not hundreds of

00:32:13.080 millions of dollars in private property value, let alone the crown land value that every Canadian

00:32:19.240 should, you know, has a God-given right to enjoy. The benefits and beauty of crown land

00:32:25.720 should not be given to random groups of people who have no legal claim to it. It's this made-up idea.

00:32:35.560 Anyways, the CBC is lying about it.

00:32:36.920 And just to add one more layer on top of that, Kian, then we see like the 0.99

00:32:40.440 Adams Lake Band in Northern British Columbia, up past Kamloops, where they put signs up saying

00:32:45.160 no settlers. And I interviewed John Rodstad, leader of the BC Conservative Party yesterday. He says that

00:32:49.480 exists all over the province, where they not only they take the land that used to be accessible to

00:32:54.040 all Canadians and say this is private, this is now Indigenous land, but then they also say no white

00:32:58.440 people allowed, which is incredibly racist. And it goes against the entire spirit of our country,

00:33:04.360 which is a partnership between the French to English.

00:33:06.760 Let's talk about what's happening to Corey Morgan with the Western Standard, who went to the Siksika 0.94

00:33:12.200 Nation, which is, it is, I live right off the Siksika Nation. That's where I grew up.

00:33:20.120 And Corey Morgan went to go expose the decrepit third world situation that many people, many of my 1.00

00:33:29.560 friends who I went to school with, have to live in because they don't have private property rights, because

00:33:35.160 there's no accountability with band structure and leadership, like Stephen Harper tried to put in

00:33:39.560 and then Trudeau just repealed it. They're living in squalor and the most decrepit, unsafe conditions.

00:33:45.240 Their houses burn down every second week over there because there's no safety standards. No,

00:33:51.000 it's terrible. And, and Corey Morgan goes there to explain to the average Canadian who probably has

00:33:56.440 never stepped foot on a reserve to show what it looks like. And retroactively, that band says,

00:34:02.680 no, you are a colonial settler and we're going to charge you with trespass retroactively,

00:34:08.840 which is not just an attack on his mobility rights and his rights to be somewhere in Canada

00:34:15.400 and his journalistic rights. It's a huge attack on his free speech. Retroactively charging someone

00:34:20.680 a fine because you said something that an Indian man disagrees with is a joke. It's a, it's a total 0.99

00:34:27.560 disgrace. And it's one example of many that we've talked about of this, the very fabric of our

00:34:34.520 country being redefined in real time over the course of the last five years. I don't even think that Mark

00:34:40.840 Carney is the, the, the focus of what we need to be looking at right now. It is the judges. It is,

00:34:48.120 it is the manipulators. It is the liars. Uh, and it is just, it is the un unraveling of our Canadian 0.93

00:34:55.640 identity and, and core belief structure and values and freedoms on the basis of the lies of these mass

00:35:01.960 graves, uh, which is really what I think kickstarted this, this UN drip, uh, UN draw garbage. Um,

00:35:10.040 that's, that's going to be my focus. And I think hopefully our focus,

00:35:13.480 as we try to defend the rights of Canadians by exposing the truth about what's going on.

00:35:18.840 It's funny. Cause I increasingly believe that that is the biggest issue in the country. Look,

00:35:22.520 it's hard to go around Toronto. Like even just the mall by my house, Vaughn Mills mall,

00:35:27.720 it does not feel like Canada. Like it really feels like a third world country. It's unbelievable. Um, 0.73

00:35:32.040 how much Toronto specifically has changed over the last five to 10 years because of mass migration,

00:35:37.000 the demographics is totally different. And it's easy to see those as being the biggest, 0.97

00:35:42.200 it related to biggest issues in the country to do with crime. And of course,

00:35:45.960 the liberal revolving door prison system, catch and release policies, all of that. Um,

00:35:50.600 but when you take a step back and you think about like what it means to be Canadian,

00:35:53.800 what we're teaching next generation, um, just our belief in our country. Uh, I, I think the

00:35:58.200 issue that you were just talking about, um, it, it sort of goes against the very core of whether

00:36:03.000 or not Canada can be a country, whether we're a legitimate country or whether they see us as

00:36:07.720 invalid settlers in Canada needs to be disintegrated and that private property needs to be given to 0.99

00:36:12.920 other groups. So, uh, these, these are all issues. This idea of truth and reconciliation,

00:36:18.440 which is just like this, this set that this idea of truth and reconciliation, it implies that at some

00:36:25.960 point we must be reconciled, right? Like at some point we must move past this, this idea that,

00:36:32.040 that Canada was stolen. Okay. What is it going to take? Right. You know, in Siksika, 0.57

00:36:37.480 Justin Trudeau came over there and he gave them like $1.23 billion. He just handed them a blank

00:36:43.800 check. He said, here you go. There's a big ceremony. It was an insane amount of money per

00:36:48.360 person there. It's the, these people should all be rich, but they're not, they still live

00:36:52.920 in these decrepit situations, which makes you think, Hmm, maybe it's the Indian band leadership 0.97

00:36:58.120 that needs to be held accountable. Maybe something's going on here that the average

00:37:01.640 indigenous person, uh, is not actually benefiting from this Indian industry scam of it, it, it,

00:37:09.720 same thing happens up in Northern BC up where they were putting the Northern gateway pipeline through

00:37:14.280 the average indigenous person there was working on the pipeline, wanted it to go through, was

00:37:19.880 seeing the benefits of, of industry and building and, and the growth of the country. But the Indian 1.00

00:37:26.040 band and these, these hereditary leaders of the Indian band, they were the ones that were trying

00:37:32.280 to pocket more money. They were the ones that were trying to, um, take, seize more control and

00:37:38.760 it's just not going to work. Something is going to explode in this country and not in a good way.

00:37:43.960 It's not the economy. It's going to some, there's the, the social fabric of this country is

00:37:48.280 disintegrating before our eyes. And it is the most important thing to be talking about right now.

00:37:54.200 Well, 100% key. I really appreciate your time today. We have a special clip, um,

00:37:58.200 that we are going to show you. This is the highlights of our time so far June is six months

00:38:02.280 and we have, um, so much more plans to just, we're just getting started. This is the very beginning.

00:38:06.360 We are on a mission to replace the CBC. We want to become the biggest, most important,

00:38:10.600 most influential news company in the country. And so if you haven't already head on over to

00:38:15.000 junonews.com, join us, become a premium subscriber that helps us fuel our journalism. And to end the show,

00:38:21.160 we are going to share this montage of some of our best moments here at Juno news. Um,

00:38:26.360 thank you so much. I'm Candace Malcolm. That's Kim Bexley, the founders of Juno news. Thank you.

00:38:29.800 And God bless. Today, we're announcing that we're joining forces to change the media landscape in

00:38:35.720 Canada. We are announcing the launch of Juno news. What is your position on the right number in terms

00:38:43.720 of the levels for permanent residents? Bring in a simple mathematical formula that says we cannot 0.99

00:38:49.240 bring in people faster than we add houses. Carney's doing exactly the same thing. He's looking

00:38:55.480 like Trudeau 2.0 all over again, except this time on steroids. Your entire campaign does seem to be

00:39:02.440 predicated on putting you in the front and hiding the people that stood in lockstep with Justin Trudeau

00:39:07.640 for the last 10 years. I'm wondering how you reconcile this and how you can trust their judgment.

00:39:11.560 Do you believe that women, biological women, have the right to their own spaces? 0.93

00:39:21.880 This has been a three-year culmination for us. And to think that it was our last rally,

00:39:27.880 and being with all of the people, they share their stories, their pains, their struggles,

00:39:33.560 and we're doing it for them. I'm really excited and really proud of what we have built together. I say

00:39:40.040 together because we would not be here without the audience, without viewers like you, without the
