00:03:05.740So you can hear in that clip, Mendicino clearly says several of the individuals in Coutts have strong
00:03:11.180ties to a far-right extreme organization with leaders in Ottawa. Those words have meaning. There's
00:03:17.260an organization. The people arrested in Coutts have strong ties to an organization in Ottawa. So first,
00:03:24.460I want you to notice how he was reading prepared remarks in that last clip. He wasn't just winging it.
00:03:29.660He wasn't freelancing with his opinion. He was reading a statement that he had prepared that was meant to
00:03:34.940justify why his government was taking this unprecedented step and why he invoked the
00:03:39.740Emergencies Act. He specifically said that the individuals had strong ties to an organization
00:03:45.980with leaders in Ottawa. And keep in mind, this is the Minister of Public Safety. He's suggesting that
00:03:51.740the people in Ottawa likewise may have weapons and they may have some sort of murderous plot. That's
00:03:56.540the point that he's trying to get across. Well, something truly remarkable happened in this press
00:04:00.700conference next. When the minister is done reading his remarks, the media start asking him questions,
00:04:05.740real questions, not the sort of usual softball questions we see the legacy media toss up at their
00:04:10.620friends in the Trudeau government. They didn't ask the minister to reiterate how bad the protesters were,
00:04:15.580how awful conservatives are. They didn't give him a chance to just repeat his narrow talking points.
00:04:20.460No, they asked real pointed questions to get to the bottom of the very serious accusation that he is
00:04:25.660making. So here we'll see an exchange starting with a reporter from the Globe and Mail, and she is
00:04:30.460asking him a very specific question. She wants evidence linking the four guys who got arrested with
00:04:37.180guns in Coots, Alberta to anyone in Ottawa. How does that murderous plot with those individuals
00:04:43.580have a tie to Ottawa? That is what the minister just said. Please provide evidence. Then there's a
00:04:48.620follow-up that's even more pointed. Is there a current ongoing law enforcement investigation? Or are you
00:04:54.460just speculating? In other words, is this an opinion? Or is there a fact here? Well, the minister looks
00:04:59.580like a deer in the headlights. No, he doesn't have evidence, it turns out. He was merely speculating
00:05:04.060based on things that he had seen online. He didn't expect anybody to actually ask him tough questions.
00:05:09.340Here is what that looked like. Can you please clarify yes or no? Have you seen clear or been given or told
00:05:18.220clear evidence of a direct tie between the people who had the guns and the motives and plans to kill
00:05:26.220officers in Alberta and people who are in the demonstrations and blockades in Ottawa?
00:05:34.060The charges that have been laid in Coots will lay out exactly what it is that the police believe and
00:05:43.180hope to prove in a court of law. The point that is being made is that the rhetoric that supported
00:05:50.300the movement in Coots is very similar and strikingly similar to the kind of rhetoric that we're seeing
00:05:56.700not only in Ottawa, but right across the country. I want to follow up on Marika Walsh's question. I think
00:06:02.220that we need to be certain that it sounds like you are making the connection between the rhetoric
00:06:09.020of uh suspects who you know are accused of attempted and conspiring to attempt murder in
00:06:15.340in Coots, Alberta and the organizers here. So is that what your conclusion is or is that something
00:06:22.300that's backed up by evidence of an ongoing law enforcement investigation? No, I think you have
00:06:27.740it right. I mean I think the pattern that we're seeing here is in the rhetoric that is being used
00:06:31.660not only in Coots, not only in Ottawa, but right across the country. So then it's your conclusion?
00:06:37.340It's it's certainly I think the conclusion of many individuals and Canadians who are
00:06:41.660taking a look at uh social media and it's uh extremely concerning. Oh it isn't just his
00:06:46.380opinion apparently it's the opinion of many. Not only does he try to equate the truckers with violence
00:06:51.740even though there is no evidence whatsoever and there's no police report or investigation looking
00:06:56.380into that, he also smears the truckers no surprise as being far right trying once again to divide
00:07:02.700Canadians and to scare Canadians into believing that the people who are protesting in Ottawa,
00:07:07.500Parliament Hill are literal Nazis and sadly some Canadians believe that. And speaking of Coots,
00:07:12.860where yes the police arrested and charged a group of men who were carrying weapons and they accuse
00:07:17.900them of a conspiracy, very serious, very scary stuff. This hasn't been proven yet in a court of law
00:07:23.260and we don't know if those four individuals are tied to the protests that were happening on the border.
00:07:28.700Well this is what the scene actually looked like at the end of the blockade in Coots.
00:07:32.620It came to an end peacefully, calmly and with the deepest respect shown between both the officers
00:07:38.940and the protesters. Regardless of what the Trudeau Liberals were saying in Ottawa,
00:07:42.780this is what it actually looked like in Coots, Alberta.
00:07:56.700That 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.
00:08:27.020For the use of this emergencies act. Let's go to another minister.
00:08:30.540This is the Minister of Justice or the Attorney General of Canada, David Lamedi.
00:08:34.300So Lamedi was on CTV last night with Evan Solomon and he really let the cat out of the bag.
00:08:40.140Solomon rightly asked Trudeau's Attorney General how he can justify using terrorism financing laws and weaponizing them
00:08:47.500against regular Canadians who donated to the truckers because they wanted their freedoms back.
00:08:52.060That is why Canadians donated to the truckers. How is it so that the Trudeau government can justify
00:08:57.100using terrorism laws against individuals who donated to this cause?
00:09:01.740Well, this is truly shocking. This is what Canada's Attorney General had to say.
00:09:05.980Look, you've just compared people who may have donated to this to the same people who are funding maybe a terrorist.
00:09:11.020I 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.
00:09:16.700Now it's illegal. Should I be worried that the bank can freeze my account? What's your answer to that?
00:09:21.260Well, I think if you are a member of a pro-Trump movement who's donating hundreds of thousands
00:09:29.500of dollars and millions of dollars to this kind of thing, then you ought to be worried.
00:09:33.260That's right. It's really just about your politics. The Minister of Justice of Canada
00:09:37.420says clear as day that your political views are what will determine whether you are arrested,
00:09:42.620whether your assets will be seized. If you support the former American president,
00:09:47.340then we will treat you like a terrorist. It's truly incredible stuff. That should send a chill
00:09:51.980down the backs of all Canadians, especially those of us who are naive enough to believe that we lived
00:09:56.940in a free country. And to Lamedi's odd point, suggesting that some pro-Trump organizations
00:10:01.820donated hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to the truckers, well, that's simply not true.
00:10:06.380And the reason that we know it's not true is because there was a massive hack of the database of
00:10:11.660those who donated to the truckers over at Give, Send, Go. So if you recall,
00:10:15.420Give, Send, Go was the replacement campaign after GoFundMe, the much bigger tech company,
00:10:20.700decided to shut down the $10 million fundraising campaign because of political pressure from the
00:10:25.980Trudeau government. So GoFundMe shut down their account. Give, Send, Go was in replacement. Of
00:10:30.940course, a Ontario judge seized that money and wouldn't let the truckers have it. So all of the
00:10:35.340individuals who donated, their money didn't actually go to the truckers. Well, regardless,
00:10:39.660somebody hacked the website and leaked 30 megabytes of donor information, including the names,
00:10:44.620email addresses, zip codes, and IP addresses, internet protocol addresses of those who donated.
00:10:50.060So that information became public. How did the media deal with this illegal breach of data
00:10:54.780and information gained through illegal hacking? Well, of course, they began weaponizing the information,
00:11:00.620doxing the individuals who donated to the truckers and use it to try to harass those individuals and get
00:11:06.220them fired from their jobs. Let the doxing begin. This is a report from Kosman Georgia over at True North.
00:11:12.940He writes, journalists and politicians share illegally obtained Give, Send, Go data.
00:11:17.260Journalists and politicians have been tripping over each other to identify anybody who donated
00:11:21.180to the Freedom Convoy after hackers illegally linked donor data on Monday. Legacy media outlets,
00:11:26.780including the CBC and the Ottawa Citizen, have been pushing personally identifiable information on
00:11:31.820Canadian citizens who donated to the Freedom Convoy. The practice otherwise known as doxing involves
00:11:37.020publicly identifying individuals by publishing their private information with malicious intent online.
00:11:42.140True North has rounded up the most prominent figures who have engaged in the sharing of illegal data.
00:11:47.180Names have been blurred out in order to protect their identities. So here is Gerald Butts, former
00:11:51.020Principal Secretary and best friend to the Prime Minister. And here he is. He says, quite the list of
00:11:56.140Give, Send, Go donors from Toronto, a Ford government staffer, and a bunch of U of T faculty and students
00:12:02.940jump out. And he retweeted an anonymous account that was truly doxing. This account, Toronto Watcher,
00:12:08.140was just going through and listing the name and the place of employment or the school of individuals
00:12:14.460who donated, including the amount of money that they put up. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable
00:12:19.500that this account has not been suspended by Twitter, that it is still up. But as of recording, Thursday
00:12:24.140afternoon, as of recording this show, this account is still up. Well, it wasn't just Gerald Butts, Ottawa
00:12:29.660City Councillor Matthau Fleury also jumped in the doxing game and began looking for people who worked for the
00:12:36.220city of Ottawa, even using his own government city database to try to cross-reference and to try to
00:12:43.180dox his individual. What a despicable disgrace of a human being. Next, CTV anchorman Graham Richardson
00:12:49.660tweeted on Tuesday that he was contacting individuals in the illegal Give, Send, Go data leak. So here's a
00:12:55.580tweet that went viral with people criticizing him for doing this. He says, has spent the last two days
00:13:00.700calling local people who have donated to the trucker convoy, including a former MP, several business
00:13:05.420owners, healthcare professionals, and property development trying to understand why they support
00:13:09.980this. Very few callbacks, you think? Someone's data gets breached and leaked online and you're
00:13:15.420wondering why they don't want to call back a malicious journalist who's using that leaked information to
00:13:19.740try to have a conversation about why they supported the trucker convoy. It's just absolutely appalling what
00:13:25.340these people are doing. It wasn't just him. Dean Blandell, who is a radio host in Toronto. Here he
00:13:30.940goes. So here's the Give, Send, Go donor list. And he just publishes it all online as if it's just
00:13:36.700totally fair and reasonable to publish this information. Ottawa citizen editor Blair Crawford, likewise,
00:13:42.700penned an article doxing the owner of a local ice cream parlor. After her name appeared on the donor
00:13:47.740list, the business owner was forced to close her store because she was receiving threats. And this is a
00:13:53.820tweet that went out from one of the reporters over at the Ottawa citizen. This is just so cruel. So the
00:13:58.540reporter's name is Alison Ma. She's since put her account in private mode because surely she was just
00:14:04.300getting so much negative feedback for this malicious tweet. But she wrote, the owner of Stella Luna says
00:14:09.980she regrets making her $250 donation to the truck convoy saying she thought it was a peaceful grassroots
00:14:15.580movements. Just pause for a second. It is a peaceful grassroots movement, regardless of what the media
00:14:20.540and Justin Trudeau and the government are trying to say it is peaceful. It's peaceful. There's no
00:14:25.260arrest. There's no violence in Ottawa. The idea that it's not a peaceful grassroots movement is a smear
00:14:30.300and a lie in the media. I'll continue with her tweet. She writes, she made the donation on February 5th
00:14:36.460when police were calling the protest volatile and dangerous sub subtext there. She deserves it. She
00:14:42.300deserves it. She thought she was donating to peaceful movement. But at the time, the police were saying
00:14:46.540that it was dangerous. So Alison Ma apparently thinks that it is okay for her to be harassed and
00:14:52.140her business to be shut down over a $250 donation. Give me a break. It gets worse. Frank magazine
00:14:58.380continued to just openly publish the name of people who donated, including their pictures. This is truly,
00:15:03.900truly despicable docs in here. Great journalism over there at Frank magazine, just completely trying to
00:15:10.220what ruin the lives of people because they chose to donate a cause that they disagree with. Really,
00:15:15.020really disgusting, despicable stuff. And there's more. There was an Ontario PC political staffer
00:15:21.420who was fired or asked to resign because it was revealed she donated $100 to the truckers. $100.
00:15:27.580You're going to lose your livelihood, lose your job over a $100 donation to truckers. Unbelievable.
00:15:33.900Unbelievable the glee that these journalists have in trying to ruin people's lives because they have
00:15:38.300political views that they disagree with. My colleague Andrew Lawton here at True North wrote this,
00:15:42.620Remember when Trudeau banned anyone sharing the New York Post's Hunter Biden laptop story because of
00:15:48.220its hacked materials policy? Odd that no one seems to mind journalists tweeting about donors to the
00:15:53.420Freedom Convoy, information they have because of hacked materials. Great question, Andrew Lawton,
00:15:58.940but of course, that's not how things work. How it works is if the illegally hacked material is bad for
00:16:04.700liberals or bad for Democrats, as it was in the case of the Hunter Biden story, then Twitter bans it and
00:16:10.060and suspends the accounts of those sharing. And on the contrary, if the illegally hacked material
00:16:15.660helps Justin Trudeau, if it helps the liberals or the Democrats in smearing the working class people
00:16:20.780who oppose the Trudeau government, well, then the docs material, including the names and addresses of
00:16:26.060individual Canadians that can just stay up on Twitter with a punity must be nice to have rules
00:16:31.260that work like that in your favor. Now, to get back to David Lametti's odd claim that some pro-Trump
00:16:36.380groups were allegedly donating millions of dollars. Well, that is simply not true. From this leaked
00:16:40.940information, we can look at the data, we learned that there were 92,844 donations made to this fund,
00:16:46.620and it truly was a grassroots fund. Of those nearly 93,000 donors, only 686 of the donations were over
00:16:54.860a thousand dollars. So the overwhelming majority 99% of the donations were small dollar, there were no
00:17:00.300million dollar donations. And it's interesting to look at the breakdown because there was a lot of early
00:17:04.540hand-wringing by people like Gerald Butts and other liberals claiming that this was almost an entirely
00:17:09.100foreign-funded insurrection. Well, it's not true. It turns out that most of the funds, the majority of
00:17:14.460the funds came from Canadians. So while there were 52,000 odd donations that came from the US, which
00:17:20.620made up 56% of the total and 36,000 from Canada, which made up only 30% of the total. When you look at
00:17:27.420the amount of dollars donated, 4.3 million dollars from Canadians compared to 3.6 million from Americans.
00:17:35.900Okay. Meanwhile, while we're on the topic and speaking about foreign-funded campaigns, let's
00:17:40.620compare that 3.6 million dollars the truckers were given by American donors. And let's be clear, the
00:17:47.340truckers ever received that money. The money was stopped by an Ontario judge. It was stopped through
00:17:52.140political pressure from the Trudeau government when it was the initial campaign. So no one got any money,
00:17:56.780but the intent was there to give these truckers 3.6 million dollars from Americans. Well, let's compare
00:18:01.740that to the environmental movement in Canada and what they receive every single year from American
00:18:07.660and foreign donors, thanks in large part to people like Gerald Butts. So this was a report from the
00:18:12.140Alberta government. The total foreign funding of Canadian-based environmental initiatives was 1.28
00:18:19.100billion dollars between 2003 and 2019. 1.28 billion dollars flowed into Canada from foreign sources
00:18:27.820in those years, from 2003 to 2019. The commissioner states that the figures are significantly
00:18:33.820understated. This includes 925 million dollars in foreign-funded reported by Canadian charities for
00:18:40.860environmental initiatives, 352 million dollars in foreign funding of Canadian-based environmental
00:18:47.580initiatives such as anti-pipeline campaigns that were made in the U.S. and 54.1 million dollars in
00:18:54.220funding was provided through grants which were described as representing anti-Alberta resource
00:18:59.260development activity. So 1.28 billion dollars. So forgive me if I'm not outraged and worked up over
00:19:06.380the idea that Americans tried and ultimately were unsuccessful to give these truckers a total of
00:19:11.6603 million dollars from over 50 000 people. Okay. Oh and also speaking of foreign donors, let's take a
00:19:17.180look at Justin Trudeau, our prime minister's own family foundation, the Pierre Trudeau Foundation. So
00:19:22.380according to the Toronto Sun, in 2016, 1 million dollars was donated by two Chinese businessmen. They
00:19:29.180were the same Chinese businessmen who were paying for cash for access private dinners with Justin Trudeau.
00:19:35.180The National Post had a nice little handy breakdown here. You can look at the total donations and the
00:19:40.540foreign donations to the Trudeau Foundation. Look at how that just spikes magically in 2015. What
00:19:47.020happened in 2015? Oh right. That's the year that Justin Trudeau got elected as prime minister. So it
00:19:51.820says donations went from 172,000 in 2014 up to 731,000 in 2016. A four-fold increase from 2008 to 2013. The
00:20:03.100foundation had no foreign donors but it had brought in a growing amount of foreign money in 2014, 15 and 16.
00:20:09.580foreign donations jumped from 53,000 dollars in 2014 up to 535,000 dollars in 2016. A ten-fold increase.
00:20:19.660Well we already knew that Justin Trudeau and his allies were hypocrites. They're willing to smear
00:20:24.380their opponents in any way possible and at all costs including targeting business owners, female
00:20:29.740entrepreneurs and grandmothers for the crime of donating 20 dollars to the truckers. Well Trudeau sunk
00:20:36.060to an even newer low, an even lower low on Wednesday in the House of Commons keeping with this ongoing
00:20:41.580lie that the truckers are Nazis. He accused a conservative MP, Melissa Lansman. Melissa Lansman,
00:20:47.260who happens to be Jewish, who happens to be the descendant of Holocaust survivors, whose grandparents
00:20:52.940happened to escape the Holocaust and choose to come to Canada, choose to live in Canada and now their
00:20:59.020granddaughter is elected as a member of parliament. Incredible story in and of itself. Justin Trudeau
00:21:04.700decided to accuse this woman of standing with the swastikas. Here is that clip.
00:21:10.300These people, very often misogynistic, racist, women haters, science deniers, the fringe. Same
00:21:18.060Prime Minister, six years later, as he fans the flames of an unjustified national emergency. So,
00:21:24.780Mr. Speaker, when did the Prime Minister lose his way? When did it happen?
00:21:30.940Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas.
00:21:34.940They can stand with people who wave the Confederate flag.
00:21:38.620I am a strong Jewish woman and a member of this House and a descendant of Holocaust survivors and
00:21:43.420I have never made to, it's never been singled out and I have never been made to feel less.
00:21:48.140Except for today, when the Prime Minister accused me of standing with swastikas.
00:21:52.220I think he owes me an apology, I'd like an apology and I think he owes an apology to all members of this
00:21:56.780House. Despicable, unbelievable, of course Justin Trudeau didn't apologize. Instead he just left the
00:22:02.380House of Commons in the middle of question period. No big deal. What an absolute disgrace of a man
00:22:07.100and a Prime Minister. So, at this point we still have no idea why Justin Trudeau has issued the
00:22:12.380Emergencies Act. He has given no clear public justification for why this is necessary. And
00:22:18.220at the time of filming, which is again early in the afternoon on Thursday, February 17th,
00:22:22.860new trucks have yet been cleared from Parliament and it doesn't look like those truckers are going
00:22:26.700anywhere. Let me just say, here is the scene from last night. This was shot by CTV journalist
00:22:31.260Evan Solomon. As you can see, these truckers are not phased, these truckers are not scared,
00:22:35.980and they're not leaving. The party atmosphere continues. There are people walking around,
00:22:40.380enjoying food, waving their flags, singing, dancing, the usual scene that we have seen from
00:22:45.660Ottawa. It doesn't look like they are scared or intimidated. Meanwhile, the police are doing
00:22:49.820everything they can to try to intimidate these individuals to leave. They were seen on Tuesday
00:22:54.620afternoon walking around distributing notices, telling everybody to leave the protest area.
00:22:59.980Here is an interview with one of the truckers who received one of these notices.
00:23:03.900About mid-morning, they came by and they delivered these flyers to all the vehicles on the street and
00:23:20.140two police liaison officers. They wouldn't give me their names. I got their badge numbers.
00:23:26.060But they were just putting these postings out to try to intimidate people. There was no tickets.
00:23:33.420There was no charges. It's just a propaganda on behalf of the government to try to intimidate
00:23:41.180people to vacate the area. But nobody here is intimidated. There's a lot of us that are very
00:23:47.180committed to this and a piece of paper isn't going to send us home.
00:23:50.060So it's not exactly surprising that the police are telling these individuals to leave. The notice
00:23:56.060writes, anyone blocking the streets or assisting others in blocking the streets are committing a
00:23:59.820criminal offense and may be arrested. This is mischief under the criminal code. What is a little
00:24:05.900surprising, however, is that there is a clip of police who can be seen handing out this notice to
00:24:12.220a journalist? Yes, a journalist. Here is what that looked like.
00:24:27.020Well, there's a lot of murkiness around this law and what is going on right now. But the
00:24:30.620Emergencies Act specifically exempts peaceful protesters. So to anyone who's here peacefully,
00:24:36.380who is not breaking the law, they presumably can stay as well as journalists. Why would the
00:24:41.420Emergencies Act apply to journalists who are trying to report the story and convey it to Canadians?
00:24:46.940That doesn't make sense. The fact that that was handed to a journalist is wrong. So look,
00:24:50.620we're going to keep an eye on all things Ottawa and continue our coverage throughout this political
00:24:55.180crackdown. Turner's own Andrew Lawton, journalist Andrew Lawton, is currently on the ground in Ottawa
00:25:00.380as we speak and he will provide updates as they happen. Okay, so I want to end the show today on a bit
00:25:05.660of a positive note because I think the truckers are winning. They continue to accomplish incredible things,
00:25:10.700including changes to public opinion and the dropping of draconian public help orders, exactly what
00:25:16.380they wanted. And the more that Justin Trudeau overreacts, the more he loses, the more he is losing the
00:25:22.140admiration of the media and the international community. He's losing the narrative. He's losing touch with
00:25:27.980everyday Canadians. He's looking angry, out of touch and petty, calling a Jewish MP a Nazi. That's a new low.
00:25:34.540Not a good look for Justin Trudeau. It did not come across well. I want to show you two of my favorite
00:25:38.780tweets about the incidents, both from journalists, but these are both heterodoxy journalists, not your
00:25:43.900typical woke one. The first one is Jonathan Kaye describing a situation. He writes this,
00:25:49.180self-described leader of genocide state and serial blackface enthusiast shrieks a Jewish woman about
00:25:54.860swastikas. If this happened outside of parliament, you would think it was a crazy person who was off his
00:25:59.500meds. That's absolutely right. Next, we go to Tristan Hopper, who writes for the National Post. He writes,
00:26:04.540this on Twitter, aggressively ignoring rolling blockades for two weeks and then invoking the
00:26:09.020Emergencies Act while calling my critics Nazis neatly sums up how I would run the federal government
00:26:13.740after 10 beers. Very, very funny. And it's true. If you take a step back and you think about what
00:26:20.140Justin Trudeau has done over the past few weeks, it will define his career. It is not a good look.
00:26:24.860It is not a good look. He does not look calm and composed. He looks unhinged and a little crazy.
00:26:29.980So aside from Justin Trudeau's ongoing meltdown, we also saw Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced
00:26:34.860earlier this week that the vaccine passport would be scrapped starting on March 1st. This is huge.
00:26:40.700This is a big announcement and a big sign that the end is near, that things are going to get back to
00:26:44.780normal soon. Next, despite Justin Trudeau's acting out, we have four premiers who are publicly opposing
00:26:50.860the use of the Emergencies Act. So Jason Kenney in Alberta, Scott Moe, Premier of Saskatchewan,
00:26:56.220Quebec Premier Francois Legault, which is big, which is key. Francois Legault said,
00:27:00.380we do not wish to have a state of emergency in Quebec. It's not necessary. And it's time to bring
00:27:04.780together, not divide. I think that's really devastating to Justin Trudeau. And Manitoba
00:27:09.660Premier Heather Stephenson also opposed the plans. You have four premiers loudly speaking out saying that
00:27:15.660they do not agree that this is not a national emergency. And finally, this is huge as well.
00:27:20.460A group of Canadian premiers and American governors have signed a joint letter to President Joe Biden
00:27:25.580and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urging them to drop the divisive and unnecessary cross-border
00:27:31.740vaccine mandate for truckers. So Jason Kenney tweeted this out. He said, today I've signed a
00:27:36.460letter along with Scott Moe, Montana Governor Greg Giaforte, 15 other governors urging the President
00:27:42.060and Prime Minister to drop the cross-border vaccine mandate for truckers. We are writing to immediately
00:27:47.100reinstate the vaccine and quarantine exemptions available to cross-border truck drivers. We are
00:27:51.740deeply concerned that terminating these exemptions has had demonstrably negative impacts on the North
00:27:56.700American supply chain, the cost of living and access to essential products for people in both of our
00:28:02.620countries. So it is clear the truckers are getting what they want. They're winning. They're peacefully
00:28:07.820making their point and they're making their voices heard loud and clear. Their critics, meanwhile,
00:28:12.780have exposed themselves as being hypocritical, petty and ultimately ineffective. The legacy media will never
00:28:19.500be viewed the same way by millions of Canadians. And Justin Trudeau, willing to use the full extent
00:28:25.900of his powers as Prime Minister, has accidentally revealed how weak he really is. The Freedom Convoy
00:28:32.380will go down in history as one of the most powerful and effective protests in the history of the Western
00:28:38.140world. I'm Candace Malcolm and this is The Candace Malcolm Show.
