Juno News - Canadians will never view the legacy media the same again

00:00:00.000 The legacy media is now doxing and harassing individuals who supported the trucker convoy

00:00:05.040 and the Trudeau government admits it has no justification whatsoever to invoke the

00:00:09.560 Emergencies Act. I'm Candace Malcolm and this is The Candace Malcolm Show.

00:00:16.820 Hi everyone, thank you so much for tuning into the program. So all eyes are on Ottawa right now.

00:00:21.840 We are watching and waiting for something to happen. You know, the Prime Minister issued

00:00:25.800 this Emergencies Act on Monday. It has now been three days and yet they haven't done anything.

00:00:30.980 So I'm not sure how much of an emergency it really was if it took them three days to get

00:00:35.520 around to actually trying to implement it. Regardless, it's been three days, three days

00:00:39.440 since the Prime Minister took that unprecedented step of declaring a national emergency. Now,

00:00:45.020 unlike the ongoing emergency that we've been living through since the COVID pandemic first began two

00:00:49.700 years ago, this new emergency allows the Prime Minister to use wartime measures to quash its

00:00:55.700 enemy. In this case, its enemy is a group of working class Canadians who are peacefully protesting

00:01:00.960 near Parliament Hill. The Emergencies Act is supposed to be reserved for instances where the

00:01:05.560 sovereignty of Canada is at risk, not simply because the Prime Minister doesn't agree with a

00:01:10.460 group of protesters peacefully assembled in Ottawa. Let's be clear about something. There are no

00:01:15.060 current blockades going on in Canada. No bridges, no border crossings are being blocked. That all ended

00:01:20.480 using the existing powers available to police. And yet, the more we hear from the Trudeau

00:01:25.680 government about why they invoked this Emergencies Act, the more it becomes clear that they had no

00:01:30.780 justification whatsoever in invoking it. Instead, it's clear that this drastic and unprecedented

00:01:36.440 power grab is all simply because Justin Trudeau does not like the protesters. Trudeau marched his

00:01:43.480 public safety minister, Mark Mendocino, out in front of reporters on Wednesday to try to spin a tale

00:01:48.840 of how the arrest of four men in southern Alberta who had weapons and apparently a plot to ambush police

00:01:54.680 officers, how that was somehow tied to the protesters in Ottawa. Take a look at this.

00:02:00.600 And as we know, the RCMP made 13 arrests earlier this week at the Coutts border crossing and seized a

00:02:08.140 significant number of lethal firearms, a large supply of ammunition, body armor, high capacity magazines,

00:02:15.380 and a machete. And yesterday, four men were charged by the RCMP with a conspiracy to murder officers.

00:02:24.760 As the Deputy Commissioner of the RCMP noted, and I quote,

00:02:30.020 Monday's weapons seizure and subsequent arrests speak to the serious criminal activities taking place

00:02:35.940 during the protest and illegal blockades. The dangerous criminal activity occurring away from

00:02:42.400 the TV cameras and social media posts was real and organized. It could have been deadly for

00:02:48.800 citizens, protesters, and officers. We need to be clear-eyed about the seriousness of these incidents.

00:02:56.880 Indeed, several of the individuals at Coutts have strong ties to a far-right extreme organization

00:03:04.240 with leaders who are in Ottawa.

00:03:05.740 So you can hear in that clip, Mendicino clearly says several of the individuals in Coutts have strong

00:03:11.180 ties to a far-right extreme organization with leaders in Ottawa. Those words have meaning. There's

00:03:17.260 an organization. The people arrested in Coutts have strong ties to an organization in Ottawa. So first,

00:03:24.460 I want you to notice how he was reading prepared remarks in that last clip. He wasn't just winging it.

00:03:29.660 He wasn't freelancing with his opinion. He was reading a statement that he had prepared that was meant to

00:03:34.940 justify why his government was taking this unprecedented step and why he invoked the

00:03:39.740 Emergencies Act. He specifically said that the individuals had strong ties to an organization

00:03:45.980 with leaders in Ottawa. And keep in mind, this is the Minister of Public Safety. He's suggesting that

00:03:51.740 the people in Ottawa likewise may have weapons and they may have some sort of murderous plot. That's

00:03:56.540 the point that he's trying to get across. Well, something truly remarkable happened in this press

00:04:00.700 conference next. When the minister is done reading his remarks, the media start asking him questions,

00:04:05.740 real questions, not the sort of usual softball questions we see the legacy media toss up at their

00:04:10.620 friends in the Trudeau government. They didn't ask the minister to reiterate how bad the protesters were,

00:04:15.580 how awful conservatives are. They didn't give him a chance to just repeat his narrow talking points.

00:04:20.460 No, they asked real pointed questions to get to the bottom of the very serious accusation that he is

00:04:25.660 making. So here we'll see an exchange starting with a reporter from the Globe and Mail, and she is

00:04:30.460 asking him a very specific question. She wants evidence linking the four guys who got arrested with

00:04:37.180 guns in Coots, Alberta to anyone in Ottawa. How does that murderous plot with those individuals

00:04:43.580 have a tie to Ottawa? That is what the minister just said. Please provide evidence. Then there's a

00:04:48.620 follow-up that's even more pointed. Is there a current ongoing law enforcement investigation? Or are you

00:04:54.460 just speculating? In other words, is this an opinion? Or is there a fact here? Well, the minister looks

00:04:59.580 like a deer in the headlights. No, he doesn't have evidence, it turns out. He was merely speculating

00:05:04.060 based on things that he had seen online. He didn't expect anybody to actually ask him tough questions.

00:05:09.340 Here is what that looked like. Can you please clarify yes or no? Have you seen clear or been given or told

00:05:18.220 clear evidence of a direct tie between the people who had the guns and the motives and plans to kill

00:05:26.220 officers in Alberta and people who are in the demonstrations and blockades in Ottawa?

00:05:34.060 The charges that have been laid in Coots will lay out exactly what it is that the police believe and

00:05:43.180 hope to prove in a court of law. The point that is being made is that the rhetoric that supported

00:05:50.300 the movement in Coots is very similar and strikingly similar to the kind of rhetoric that we're seeing

00:05:56.700 not only in Ottawa, but right across the country. I want to follow up on Marika Walsh's question. I think

00:06:02.220 that we need to be certain that it sounds like you are making the connection between the rhetoric

00:06:09.020 of uh suspects who you know are accused of attempted and conspiring to attempt murder in

00:06:15.340 in Coots, Alberta and the organizers here. So is that what your conclusion is or is that something

00:06:22.300 that's backed up by evidence of an ongoing law enforcement investigation? No, I think you have

00:06:27.740 it right. I mean I think the pattern that we're seeing here is in the rhetoric that is being used

00:06:31.660 not only in Coots, not only in Ottawa, but right across the country. So then it's your conclusion?

00:06:37.340 It's it's certainly I think the conclusion of many individuals and Canadians who are

00:06:41.660 taking a look at uh social media and it's uh extremely concerning. Oh it isn't just his

00:06:46.380 opinion apparently it's the opinion of many. Not only does he try to equate the truckers with violence

00:06:51.740 even though there is no evidence whatsoever and there's no police report or investigation looking

00:06:56.380 into that, he also smears the truckers no surprise as being far right trying once again to divide

00:07:02.700 Canadians and to scare Canadians into believing that the people who are protesting in Ottawa,

00:07:07.500 Parliament Hill are literal Nazis and sadly some Canadians believe that. And speaking of Coots,

00:07:12.860 where yes the police arrested and charged a group of men who were carrying weapons and they accuse

00:07:17.900 them of a conspiracy, very serious, very scary stuff. This hasn't been proven yet in a court of law

00:07:23.260 and we don't know if those four individuals are tied to the protests that were happening on the border.

00:07:28.700 Well this is what the scene actually looked like at the end of the blockade in Coots.

00:07:32.620 It came to an end peacefully, calmly and with the deepest respect shown between both the officers

00:07:38.940 and the protesters. Regardless of what the Trudeau Liberals were saying in Ottawa,

00:07:42.780 this is what it actually looked like in Coots, Alberta.

00:07:56.700 That is what Justin Trudeau and Mark Mendicino want you to believe is a violent, far-right insurrection worthy of the use of wartime measures. Okay, well we still have no justification.

00:08:27.020 For the use of this emergencies act. Let's go to another minister.

00:08:30.540 This is the Minister of Justice or the Attorney General of Canada, David Lamedi.

00:08:34.300 So Lamedi was on CTV last night with Evan Solomon and he really let the cat out of the bag.

00:08:40.140 Solomon rightly asked Trudeau's Attorney General how he can justify using terrorism financing laws and weaponizing them

00:08:47.500 against regular Canadians who donated to the truckers because they wanted their freedoms back.

00:08:52.060 That is why Canadians donated to the truckers. How is it so that the Trudeau government can justify

00:08:57.100 using terrorism laws against individuals who donated to this cause?

00:09:01.740 Well, this is truly shocking. This is what Canada's Attorney General had to say.

00:09:05.980 Look, you've just compared people who may have donated to this to the same people who are funding maybe a terrorist.

00:09:11.020 I just want to be clear here, sir. This is really important. A lot of folks says, look, I just don't like your vaccine mandates and I donated to this.

00:09:16.700 Now it's illegal. Should I be worried that the bank can freeze my account? What's your answer to that?

00:09:21.260 Well, I think if you are a member of a pro-Trump movement who's donating hundreds of thousands

00:09:29.500 of dollars and millions of dollars to this kind of thing, then you ought to be worried.

00:09:33.260 That's right. It's really just about your politics. The Minister of Justice of Canada

00:09:37.420 says clear as day that your political views are what will determine whether you are arrested,

00:09:42.620 whether your assets will be seized. If you support the former American president,

00:09:47.340 then we will treat you like a terrorist. It's truly incredible stuff. That should send a chill

00:09:51.980 down the backs of all Canadians, especially those of us who are naive enough to believe that we lived

00:09:56.940 in a free country. And to Lamedi's odd point, suggesting that some pro-Trump organizations

00:10:01.820 donated hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to the truckers, well, that's simply not true.

00:10:06.380 And the reason that we know it's not true is because there was a massive hack of the database of

00:10:11.660 those who donated to the truckers over at Give, Send, Go. So if you recall,

00:10:15.420 Give, Send, Go was the replacement campaign after GoFundMe, the much bigger tech company,

00:10:20.700 decided to shut down the $10 million fundraising campaign because of political pressure from the

00:10:25.980 Trudeau government. So GoFundMe shut down their account. Give, Send, Go was in replacement. Of

00:10:30.940 course, a Ontario judge seized that money and wouldn't let the truckers have it. So all of the

00:10:35.340 individuals who donated, their money didn't actually go to the truckers. Well, regardless,

00:10:39.660 somebody hacked the website and leaked 30 megabytes of donor information, including the names,

00:10:44.620 email addresses, zip codes, and IP addresses, internet protocol addresses of those who donated.

00:10:50.060 So that information became public. How did the media deal with this illegal breach of data

00:10:54.780 and information gained through illegal hacking? Well, of course, they began weaponizing the information,

00:11:00.620 doxing the individuals who donated to the truckers and use it to try to harass those individuals and get

00:11:06.220 them fired from their jobs. Let the doxing begin. This is a report from Kosman Georgia over at True North.

00:11:12.940 He writes, journalists and politicians share illegally obtained Give, Send, Go data.

00:11:17.260 Journalists and politicians have been tripping over each other to identify anybody who donated

00:11:21.180 to the Freedom Convoy after hackers illegally linked donor data on Monday. Legacy media outlets,

00:11:26.780 including the CBC and the Ottawa Citizen, have been pushing personally identifiable information on

00:11:31.820 Canadian citizens who donated to the Freedom Convoy. The practice otherwise known as doxing involves

00:11:37.020 publicly identifying individuals by publishing their private information with malicious intent online.

00:11:42.140 True North has rounded up the most prominent figures who have engaged in the sharing of illegal data.

00:11:47.180 Names have been blurred out in order to protect their identities. So here is Gerald Butts, former

00:11:51.020 Principal Secretary and best friend to the Prime Minister. And here he is. He says, quite the list of

00:11:56.140 Give, Send, Go donors from Toronto, a Ford government staffer, and a bunch of U of T faculty and students

00:12:02.940 jump out. And he retweeted an anonymous account that was truly doxing. This account, Toronto Watcher,

00:12:08.140 was just going through and listing the name and the place of employment or the school of individuals

00:12:14.460 who donated, including the amount of money that they put up. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable

00:12:19.500 that this account has not been suspended by Twitter, that it is still up. But as of recording, Thursday

00:12:24.140 afternoon, as of recording this show, this account is still up. Well, it wasn't just Gerald Butts, Ottawa

00:12:29.660 City Councillor Matthau Fleury also jumped in the doxing game and began looking for people who worked for the

00:12:36.220 city of Ottawa, even using his own government city database to try to cross-reference and to try to

00:12:43.180 dox his individual. What a despicable disgrace of a human being. Next, CTV anchorman Graham Richardson 0.86

00:12:49.660 tweeted on Tuesday that he was contacting individuals in the illegal Give, Send, Go data leak. So here's a

00:12:55.580 tweet that went viral with people criticizing him for doing this. He says, has spent the last two days

00:13:00.700 calling local people who have donated to the trucker convoy, including a former MP, several business

00:13:05.420 owners, healthcare professionals, and property development trying to understand why they support

00:13:09.980 this. Very few callbacks, you think? Someone's data gets breached and leaked online and you're

00:13:15.420 wondering why they don't want to call back a malicious journalist who's using that leaked information to

00:13:19.740 try to have a conversation about why they supported the trucker convoy. It's just absolutely appalling what

00:13:25.340 these people are doing. It wasn't just him. Dean Blandell, who is a radio host in Toronto. Here he

00:13:30.940 goes. So here's the Give, Send, Go donor list. And he just publishes it all online as if it's just

00:13:36.700 totally fair and reasonable to publish this information. Ottawa citizen editor Blair Crawford, likewise,

00:13:42.700 penned an article doxing the owner of a local ice cream parlor. After her name appeared on the donor

00:13:47.740 list, the business owner was forced to close her store because she was receiving threats. And this is a

00:13:53.820 tweet that went out from one of the reporters over at the Ottawa citizen. This is just so cruel. So the

00:13:58.540 reporter's name is Alison Ma. She's since put her account in private mode because surely she was just 0.97

00:14:04.300 getting so much negative feedback for this malicious tweet. But she wrote, the owner of Stella Luna says

00:14:09.980 she regrets making her $250 donation to the truck convoy saying she thought it was a peaceful grassroots

00:14:15.580 movements. Just pause for a second. It is a peaceful grassroots movement, regardless of what the media

00:14:20.540 and Justin Trudeau and the government are trying to say it is peaceful. It's peaceful. There's no

00:14:25.260 arrest. There's no violence in Ottawa. The idea that it's not a peaceful grassroots movement is a smear

00:14:30.300 and a lie in the media. I'll continue with her tweet. She writes, she made the donation on February 5th

00:14:36.460 when police were calling the protest volatile and dangerous sub subtext there. She deserves it. She

00:14:42.300 deserves it. She thought she was donating to peaceful movement. But at the time, the police were saying

00:14:46.540 that it was dangerous. So Alison Ma apparently thinks that it is okay for her to be harassed and

00:14:52.140 her business to be shut down over a $250 donation. Give me a break. It gets worse. Frank magazine

00:14:58.380 continued to just openly publish the name of people who donated, including their pictures. This is truly,

00:15:03.900 truly despicable docs in here. Great journalism over there at Frank magazine, just completely trying to

00:15:10.220 what ruin the lives of people because they chose to donate a cause that they disagree with. Really,

00:15:15.020 really disgusting, despicable stuff. And there's more. There was an Ontario PC political staffer

00:15:21.420 who was fired or asked to resign because it was revealed she donated $100 to the truckers. $100.

00:15:27.580 You're going to lose your livelihood, lose your job over a $100 donation to truckers. Unbelievable.

00:15:33.900 Unbelievable the glee that these journalists have in trying to ruin people's lives because they have

00:15:38.300 political views that they disagree with. My colleague Andrew Lawton here at True North wrote this,

00:15:42.620 Remember when Trudeau banned anyone sharing the New York Post's Hunter Biden laptop story because of

00:15:48.220 its hacked materials policy? Odd that no one seems to mind journalists tweeting about donors to the

00:15:53.420 Freedom Convoy, information they have because of hacked materials. Great question, Andrew Lawton,

00:15:58.940 but of course, that's not how things work. How it works is if the illegally hacked material is bad for

00:16:04.700 liberals or bad for Democrats, as it was in the case of the Hunter Biden story, then Twitter bans it and

00:16:10.060 and suspends the accounts of those sharing. And on the contrary, if the illegally hacked material

00:16:15.660 helps Justin Trudeau, if it helps the liberals or the Democrats in smearing the working class people 1.00

00:16:20.780 who oppose the Trudeau government, well, then the docs material, including the names and addresses of

00:16:26.060 individual Canadians that can just stay up on Twitter with a punity must be nice to have rules

00:16:31.260 that work like that in your favor. Now, to get back to David Lametti's odd claim that some pro-Trump

00:16:36.380 groups were allegedly donating millions of dollars. Well, that is simply not true. From this leaked

00:16:40.940 information, we can look at the data, we learned that there were 92,844 donations made to this fund,

00:16:46.620 and it truly was a grassroots fund. Of those nearly 93,000 donors, only 686 of the donations were over

00:16:54.860 a thousand dollars. So the overwhelming majority 99% of the donations were small dollar, there were no

00:17:00.300 million dollar donations. And it's interesting to look at the breakdown because there was a lot of early

00:17:04.540 hand-wringing by people like Gerald Butts and other liberals claiming that this was almost an entirely

00:17:09.100 foreign-funded insurrection. Well, it's not true. It turns out that most of the funds, the majority of

00:17:14.460 the funds came from Canadians. So while there were 52,000 odd donations that came from the US, which

00:17:20.620 made up 56% of the total and 36,000 from Canada, which made up only 30% of the total. When you look at

00:17:27.420 the amount of dollars donated, 4.3 million dollars from Canadians compared to 3.6 million from Americans.

00:17:35.900 Okay. Meanwhile, while we're on the topic and speaking about foreign-funded campaigns, let's

00:17:40.620 compare that 3.6 million dollars the truckers were given by American donors. And let's be clear, the

00:17:47.340 truckers ever received that money. The money was stopped by an Ontario judge. It was stopped through

00:17:52.140 political pressure from the Trudeau government when it was the initial campaign. So no one got any money,

00:17:56.780 but the intent was there to give these truckers 3.6 million dollars from Americans. Well, let's compare

00:18:01.740 that to the environmental movement in Canada and what they receive every single year from American

00:18:07.660 and foreign donors, thanks in large part to people like Gerald Butts. So this was a report from the

00:18:12.140 Alberta government. The total foreign funding of Canadian-based environmental initiatives was 1.28

00:18:19.100 billion dollars between 2003 and 2019. 1.28 billion dollars flowed into Canada from foreign sources

00:18:27.820 in those years, from 2003 to 2019. The commissioner states that the figures are significantly

00:18:33.820 understated. This includes 925 million dollars in foreign-funded reported by Canadian charities for

00:18:40.860 environmental initiatives, 352 million dollars in foreign funding of Canadian-based environmental

00:18:47.580 initiatives such as anti-pipeline campaigns that were made in the U.S. and 54.1 million dollars in

00:18:54.220 funding was provided through grants which were described as representing anti-Alberta resource

00:18:59.260 development activity. So 1.28 billion dollars. So forgive me if I'm not outraged and worked up over

00:19:06.380 the idea that Americans tried and ultimately were unsuccessful to give these truckers a total of

00:19:11.660 3 million dollars from over 50 000 people. Okay. Oh and also speaking of foreign donors, let's take a

00:19:17.180 look at Justin Trudeau, our prime minister's own family foundation, the Pierre Trudeau Foundation. So

00:19:22.380 according to the Toronto Sun, in 2016, 1 million dollars was donated by two Chinese businessmen. They

00:19:29.180 were the same Chinese businessmen who were paying for cash for access private dinners with Justin Trudeau.

00:19:35.180 The National Post had a nice little handy breakdown here. You can look at the total donations and the

00:19:40.540 foreign donations to the Trudeau Foundation. Look at how that just spikes magically in 2015. What

00:19:47.020 happened in 2015? Oh right. That's the year that Justin Trudeau got elected as prime minister. So it

00:19:51.820 says donations went from 172,000 in 2014 up to 731,000 in 2016. A four-fold increase from 2008 to 2013. The

00:20:03.100 foundation had no foreign donors but it had brought in a growing amount of foreign money in 2014, 15 and 16.

00:20:09.580 foreign donations jumped from 53,000 dollars in 2014 up to 535,000 dollars in 2016. A ten-fold increase.

00:20:19.660 Well we already knew that Justin Trudeau and his allies were hypocrites. They're willing to smear 0.99

00:20:24.380 their opponents in any way possible and at all costs including targeting business owners, female 0.99

00:20:29.740 entrepreneurs and grandmothers for the crime of donating 20 dollars to the truckers. Well Trudeau sunk 1.00

00:20:36.060 to an even newer low, an even lower low on Wednesday in the House of Commons keeping with this ongoing

00:20:41.580 lie that the truckers are Nazis. He accused a conservative MP, Melissa Lansman. Melissa Lansman,

00:20:47.260 who happens to be Jewish, who happens to be the descendant of Holocaust survivors, whose grandparents

00:20:52.940 happened to escape the Holocaust and choose to come to Canada, choose to live in Canada and now their

00:20:59.020 granddaughter is elected as a member of parliament. Incredible story in and of itself. Justin Trudeau

00:21:04.700 decided to accuse this woman of standing with the swastikas. Here is that clip.

00:21:10.300 These people, very often misogynistic, racist, women haters, science deniers, the fringe. Same 0.91

00:21:18.060 Prime Minister, six years later, as he fans the flames of an unjustified national emergency. So,

00:21:24.780 Mr. Speaker, when did the Prime Minister lose his way? When did it happen?

00:21:30.940 Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas.

00:21:34.940 They can stand with people who wave the Confederate flag.

00:21:38.620 I am a strong Jewish woman and a member of this House and a descendant of Holocaust survivors and

00:21:43.420 I have never made to, it's never been singled out and I have never been made to feel less.

00:21:48.140 Except for today, when the Prime Minister accused me of standing with swastikas.

00:21:52.220 I think he owes me an apology, I'd like an apology and I think he owes an apology to all members of this

00:21:56.780 House. Despicable, unbelievable, of course Justin Trudeau didn't apologize. Instead he just left the

00:22:02.380 House of Commons in the middle of question period. No big deal. What an absolute disgrace of a man

00:22:07.100 and a Prime Minister. So, at this point we still have no idea why Justin Trudeau has issued the

00:22:12.380 Emergencies Act. He has given no clear public justification for why this is necessary. And

00:22:18.220 at the time of filming, which is again early in the afternoon on Thursday, February 17th,

00:22:22.860 new trucks have yet been cleared from Parliament and it doesn't look like those truckers are going

00:22:26.700 anywhere. Let me just say, here is the scene from last night. This was shot by CTV journalist

00:22:31.260 Evan Solomon. As you can see, these truckers are not phased, these truckers are not scared,

00:22:35.980 and they're not leaving. The party atmosphere continues. There are people walking around,

00:22:40.380 enjoying food, waving their flags, singing, dancing, the usual scene that we have seen from

00:22:45.660 Ottawa. It doesn't look like they are scared or intimidated. Meanwhile, the police are doing

00:22:49.820 everything they can to try to intimidate these individuals to leave. They were seen on Tuesday

00:22:54.620 afternoon walking around distributing notices, telling everybody to leave the protest area.

00:22:59.980 Here is an interview with one of the truckers who received one of these notices.

00:23:03.900 About mid-morning, they came by and they delivered these flyers to all the vehicles on the street and

00:23:20.140 two police liaison officers. They wouldn't give me their names. I got their badge numbers.

00:23:26.060 But they were just putting these postings out to try to intimidate people. There was no tickets.

00:23:33.420 There was no charges. It's just a propaganda on behalf of the government to try to intimidate

00:23:41.180 people to vacate the area. But nobody here is intimidated. There's a lot of us that are very

00:23:47.180 committed to this and a piece of paper isn't going to send us home.

00:23:50.060 So it's not exactly surprising that the police are telling these individuals to leave. The notice

00:23:56.060 writes, anyone blocking the streets or assisting others in blocking the streets are committing a

00:23:59.820 criminal offense and may be arrested. This is mischief under the criminal code. What is a little

00:24:05.900 surprising, however, is that there is a clip of police who can be seen handing out this notice to

00:24:12.220 a journalist? Yes, a journalist. Here is what that looked like.

00:24:27.020 Well, there's a lot of murkiness around this law and what is going on right now. But the

00:24:30.620 Emergencies Act specifically exempts peaceful protesters. So to anyone who's here peacefully,

00:24:36.380 who is not breaking the law, they presumably can stay as well as journalists. Why would the

00:24:41.420 Emergencies Act apply to journalists who are trying to report the story and convey it to Canadians?

00:24:46.940 That doesn't make sense. The fact that that was handed to a journalist is wrong. So look,

00:24:50.620 we're going to keep an eye on all things Ottawa and continue our coverage throughout this political

00:24:55.180 crackdown. Turner's own Andrew Lawton, journalist Andrew Lawton, is currently on the ground in Ottawa

00:25:00.380 as we speak and he will provide updates as they happen. Okay, so I want to end the show today on a bit

00:25:05.660 of a positive note because I think the truckers are winning. They continue to accomplish incredible things,

00:25:10.700 including changes to public opinion and the dropping of draconian public help orders, exactly what

00:25:16.380 they wanted. And the more that Justin Trudeau overreacts, the more he loses, the more he is losing the

00:25:22.140 admiration of the media and the international community. He's losing the narrative. He's losing touch with

00:25:27.980 everyday Canadians. He's looking angry, out of touch and petty, calling a Jewish MP a Nazi. That's a new low. 0.81

00:25:34.540 Not a good look for Justin Trudeau. It did not come across well. I want to show you two of my favorite

00:25:38.780 tweets about the incidents, both from journalists, but these are both heterodoxy journalists, not your

00:25:43.900 typical woke one. The first one is Jonathan Kaye describing a situation. He writes this,

00:25:49.180 self-described leader of genocide state and serial blackface enthusiast shrieks a Jewish woman about 0.94

00:25:54.860 swastikas. If this happened outside of parliament, you would think it was a crazy person who was off his 0.97

00:25:59.500 meds. That's absolutely right. Next, we go to Tristan Hopper, who writes for the National Post. He writes,

00:26:04.540 this on Twitter, aggressively ignoring rolling blockades for two weeks and then invoking the

00:26:09.020 Emergencies Act while calling my critics Nazis neatly sums up how I would run the federal government

00:26:13.740 after 10 beers. Very, very funny. And it's true. If you take a step back and you think about what

00:26:20.140 Justin Trudeau has done over the past few weeks, it will define his career. It is not a good look.

00:26:24.860 It is not a good look. He does not look calm and composed. He looks unhinged and a little crazy.

00:26:29.980 So aside from Justin Trudeau's ongoing meltdown, we also saw Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced

00:26:34.860 earlier this week that the vaccine passport would be scrapped starting on March 1st. This is huge.

00:26:40.700 This is a big announcement and a big sign that the end is near, that things are going to get back to

00:26:44.780 normal soon. Next, despite Justin Trudeau's acting out, we have four premiers who are publicly opposing

00:26:50.860 the use of the Emergencies Act. So Jason Kenney in Alberta, Scott Moe, Premier of Saskatchewan,

00:26:56.220 Quebec Premier Francois Legault, which is big, which is key. Francois Legault said,

00:27:00.380 we do not wish to have a state of emergency in Quebec. It's not necessary. And it's time to bring

00:27:04.780 together, not divide. I think that's really devastating to Justin Trudeau. And Manitoba

00:27:09.660 Premier Heather Stephenson also opposed the plans. You have four premiers loudly speaking out saying that

00:27:15.660 they do not agree that this is not a national emergency. And finally, this is huge as well.

00:27:20.460 A group of Canadian premiers and American governors have signed a joint letter to President Joe Biden

00:27:25.580 and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urging them to drop the divisive and unnecessary cross-border

00:27:31.740 vaccine mandate for truckers. So Jason Kenney tweeted this out. He said, today I've signed a

00:27:36.460 letter along with Scott Moe, Montana Governor Greg Giaforte, 15 other governors urging the President

00:27:42.060 and Prime Minister to drop the cross-border vaccine mandate for truckers. We are writing to immediately

00:27:47.100 reinstate the vaccine and quarantine exemptions available to cross-border truck drivers. We are

00:27:51.740 deeply concerned that terminating these exemptions has had demonstrably negative impacts on the North

00:27:56.700 American supply chain, the cost of living and access to essential products for people in both of our

00:28:02.620 countries. So it is clear the truckers are getting what they want. They're winning. They're peacefully

00:28:07.820 making their point and they're making their voices heard loud and clear. Their critics, meanwhile,

00:28:12.780 have exposed themselves as being hypocritical, petty and ultimately ineffective. The legacy media will never 0.95

00:28:19.500 be viewed the same way by millions of Canadians. And Justin Trudeau, willing to use the full extent

00:28:25.900 of his powers as Prime Minister, has accidentally revealed how weak he really is. The Freedom Convoy

00:28:32.380 will go down in history as one of the most powerful and effective protests in the history of the Western

00:28:38.140 world. I'm Candace Malcolm and this is The Candace Malcolm Show.
