Juno News - Candice Malcolm debunks legacy media lies about the Trucker Convoy

00:00:00.000 The Trucker Convoy was a huge success by every measure. It was one of the strongest movements

00:00:04.920 of patriotism and national unity in recent memory in this country. Meanwhile, the legacy media outed

00:00:10.260 themselves as being aggressively partisan, openly deceitful, and ultimately irrelevant.

00:00:15.320 I'm Candace Malcolm, and this is The Candace Malcolm Show.

00:00:21.700 Hi, everyone. Thank you so much for tuning into the podcast. What a weekend. What an amazing,

00:00:26.160 spectacular weekend. It was one of those things that I was glued to my computer screen, glued to

00:00:31.120 the television all weekend long. I couldn't get enough of these beautiful, beautiful images of

00:00:35.700 Canadians coming together. It was celebratory. It was happy. The mood on the ground, as reported by

00:00:40.500 True North journalists who were there, as reported by the thousands of people who became independent

00:00:45.500 journalists by attending the rally, by posting their own images and videos. It was remarkable.

00:00:50.820 So inspiring. It was so wonderful to see Canadians coming together. And the story made its way around

00:00:56.120 the world. I loved seeing how the story was being passed along different countries, inspiring

00:01:01.100 different people. They're doing their own freedom trucking convoy across Europe, inspired by the

00:01:05.980 Canadians. It was just so good on so many levels, so exciting to see. And it really feels like the

00:01:11.860 country has shifted. It feels like there have been a fundamental change in this country towards

00:01:16.540 lightness, towards freedom, towards going back to our roots of being a free and liberal democracy

00:01:22.300 in Canada. It was so good to see. Congratulations to the truckers themselves who put in the effort,

00:01:28.320 who drove across the country, who made their voices heard. Congratulations to the organizers

00:01:32.400 who kept their heads high, who didn't fall into the fray of the media smears and disinformation,

00:01:38.120 who continued to put forward their ideals and their views and really just organizing a spectacular

00:01:44.060 event. It isn't over. It's going to continue. According to reports, they have enough money to keep

00:01:48.620 this thing going for a long, long time. So don't expect it to go anywhere anytime soon. But overall,

00:01:54.080 this was just an incredibly successful event by every single measure. The crowds were huge. The

00:01:59.520 story made its way around the world. There was an outpouring, just so much love, so much support

00:02:04.020 from everyday Canadians who didn't buy into the media narrative, who saw the truckers for what they

00:02:08.100 were, these working class people who are heroes to our country, who stood up, said enough is enough,

00:02:13.600 went on their track, and really proved their point. And so many Canadians just rallied around them.

00:02:18.860 There was, like I said, a fundamental shift in the country. It was inspiring. It was positive

00:02:23.880 and noteworthy. It was the independent media who were the ones telling the story. It was the true

00:02:29.420 north. It was the rebel. It was post-millennial. It was the people who were on the ground. So many

00:02:33.660 individuals who were there, like I said, taking their own videos, taking their own images, drone shots,

00:02:38.780 showing the story because we knew that the legacy media wasn't going to do its job. And so we saw

00:02:44.120 viral videos, people doing the job that reporters should be doing, individuals, and again, really

00:02:49.580 seeing that shift. And one of the most important stories of the weekend is the legacy media, how they

00:02:55.340 were shut out, how they were exposed as being corrupted and stale and elitist. And frankly, the

00:03:00.980 reports simply fell flat. They didn't resonate. They weren't being picked up in the same way as the

00:03:06.020 independent journalists and reports were. The media were exposed for what they truly are,

00:03:10.920 what we have known here at True North for a very long time. But I think so many Canadians have

00:03:14.520 clued into it from just seeing the transparently bad and awful reporting that we saw by the legacy

00:03:21.180 media. They're wildly partisan. They're so pro-liberal. They can't even accept the idea that

00:03:26.440 there would be a protest against the liberal government. They're completely agenda-driven.

00:03:30.780 They were trying from day one to smear this convoy. Well, day one, they ignored the convoy.

00:03:35.660 Then they had to take the convoy seriously and it went straight to smears, calling them extremists,

00:03:40.880 calling them far-right, calling them racist, calling them terrorists, calling them every

00:03:43.740 name in the book. And every time they did that, it just made the media look worse and worse. Their

00:03:48.440 reports were factually incorrect. They were ideologically extremists. They were obsessed

00:03:53.080 with the narrative. And the one thing that I noticed, they were just dripping in elitism. They were

00:03:58.120 thoroughly elitist and anti-working man and working class. The contrast between independent reporting,

00:04:04.640 the people like True North. We had three reporters on the ground doing a tremendous job. Andrew

00:04:09.020 Lawton doing his reports, interviewing people, getting the politicians, getting the people,

00:04:13.220 really having his finger on the pulse of the movement, of the convoy to try to understand and

00:04:18.100 explain to the viewers what's going on, what's motivating these people, who are they really,

00:04:22.020 as opposed to what the legacy media were doing, which was just smearing them from afar,

00:04:25.980 not bothering to interview them, not bothering to try to understand them. Instead, just doing these

00:04:31.100 drive-by smears, doing these zoomed-in pictures and trying to paint the entire crowd based on a

00:04:36.480 very, very, very small handful of like two or three people who are doing inappropriate things.

00:04:40.740 We're going to get to all of that on the show. But again, we had our independent reporters. They

00:04:44.540 were mingling with the crowd. They were talking to people. They were doing what reporters should be

00:04:49.060 doing, as opposed to legacy media, who were sitting on Twitter, looking down their noses,

00:04:54.220 judging these people and calling them extreme. So we're going to go through some of the worst

00:04:59.140 examples of the legacy media doing just that. Before though, I want to stop you for a second.

00:05:03.820 If you enjoy what we do here at the Candace Malcolm Show, if you like the podcast, I'm going to ask you

00:05:07.800 to please leave us a five-star review. If you're listening on Spotify, Apple, or Google Podcasts,

00:05:11.940 it really helps us out. And if you're watching on YouTube or Facebook, don't forget to like this

00:05:15.300 video, share, leave us a comment, tell us what you thought about the weekend. What was your favorite

00:05:18.960 moment? What was some of the worst examples of media malfeasance? We'll try to cover it later on the

00:05:24.180 show if you give us some good tips. Okay, we had a piece over at TNC News, Legacy Media's 11

00:05:29.020 worst spins on the trucker convoy. I'm going to go through a few of them. Some of them we covered

00:05:32.640 on the show last week and on Fake News Friday. First, we saw this. You probably saw it making

00:05:37.140 the rounds on Twitter. So this is what the legacy media think about the trucker convoy and the supply

00:05:42.800 chain. Just a bunch of fascist truckers, just a bunch of truckers promoting fascism. That's the

00:05:47.900 real message of the trucker convoy, according to the Brain Trust over at the Washington Post. I don't

00:05:52.740 think that they know what the word fascism means because these truckers are protesting against

00:05:57.960 government overreach. They're protesting against Justin Trudeau putting this collective ideal

00:06:03.060 of public health, crushing the rights of the individual. That is the complete opposite of

00:06:08.040 fascism. Truckers are fighting against fascism. But I don't think anyone on the left even knows

00:06:13.340 what the word fascism means anymore. George Orwell said it best. He said that fascism has no meaning.

00:06:18.220 It basically just means someone I don't like. And that is exactly right in this case. What a silly,

00:06:22.800 ridiculous thing to put out. Again, just this idea. This is how the media view the working class. This 1.00

00:06:29.020 is what they think of truckers. If you're opposed to something the government is doing, it must mean

00:06:33.040 it's because you're far right, you're a political extremist. If you're a political extremist on the

00:06:36.640 right, it makes you a fascist. No logical sense here. But don't expect that from the legacy media.

00:06:42.180 Okay, moving on. I want to talk about this ridiculous CBC interview that True North helped

00:06:47.100 to popularize. We spread it around the internet. I'm talking about the CBC report where a reporter for

00:06:52.800 CBC with a straight face asks a liberal cabinet minister if he thinks it's far-fetched to wonder

00:06:59.380 if it's the Russians that are organizing this whole thing. Russian actors, not just fueling the

00:07:03.620 protests, but actually instigating the protests, instigating. She thinks because Canada is siding

00:07:08.300 with Ukraine in the whole brewing war between Ukraine and Russia, that Russia is going to just

00:07:12.800 stop what it's doing with Ukraine, devote a whole bunch of resources to Canada to create this 0.95

00:07:18.900 groundswell movement against Justin Trudeau. Like, what a lunatic conspiratorial thing to say. 0.58

00:07:24.380 And this is what passes for mainstream media in Canada. This is what passes for journalism over

00:07:30.160 at the state broadcaster. This is one of the worst examples. I mean, it goes back to the whole meme of

00:07:34.640 like, when in doubt, blame the Russians. Here is that clip. I do ask that because, you know, given

00:07:40.020 Canada's support of Ukraine in this current crisis with Russia, I don't know if it's far-fetched to ask,

00:07:47.360 but there is concern that Russian actors could be continuing to fuel things as this protest grows,

00:07:55.820 but perhaps even instigating it from the outset.

00:07:59.660 Well, again, I'm going to defer to our partners in the public safety, the trained officials and experts

00:08:06.720 in that area. Seriously, that's tinfoil hat stuff. That is one of the most insane things that I've

00:08:11.780 heard on the CBC in a while. And meanwhile, by the way, there was actual evidence of the Chinese

00:08:17.620 communist government, Chinese state interference and actual disinformation campaign in the recent

00:08:22.780 2021 election. It was against conservatives, though. And so the CBC just never mentions it.

00:08:27.860 But here they are starting a conspiracy theory rumor that the Russians, the Russians are behind this

00:08:33.040 whole trucking protest. What a ridiculous thing. When they weren't trying to make bizarre and lunatic 0.98

00:08:38.980 accusations against the truckers, they were really trying to downplay it. Here's a post-media

00:08:43.700 journalist with, I believe, the Ottawa Citizen, basically saying that the protests aren't that

00:08:48.520 big of a deal. He says, to sum it up, the protest is medium-large by Ottawa standards. The Permanent

00:08:53.100 Precinct is nearly impassable. And past the Queen's Way, it's basically invisible. So trying to

00:09:00.020 minimize it, trying to say it's invisible. A few things here. Number one, it is the middle of

00:09:04.720 winter, right? It was minus 30 at times in Ottawa over the weekend. It was incredibly cold. Not

00:09:10.240 exactly perfect protesting conditions. Compare that to all the cancel Canada Day stuff, all the Black 1.00

00:09:15.460 Lives Matter protests that always happen right in the middle of summer. No, this was truckers saying

00:09:20.260 enough is enough. This has to stop now. And protesting at the worst time of year to be protesting.

00:09:24.720 It was absolutely freezing in Ottawa as it is in much of Ontario right now. And yet here he's saying,

00:09:31.840 oh, this was just medium-large by Ottawa standards. They're trying to downplay it. We know that's not

00:09:35.500 true. We can see the footage. We can see the images. We can see how huge this was, how inspired it was.

00:09:39.940 And not just in Ottawa, right? There were simultaneous protests all over the country. This is what it looked

00:09:45.220 like in Calgary. Huge, huge crowds of support. People, you know, they wanted to be in Ottawa. They wish they

00:09:50.900 could be there with the truckers. They couldn't. They held their own events. And that was huge as

00:09:54.540 well. We saw the same thing in Victoria. Check out these images of the protests in Victoria. This was

00:09:59.300 a huge movement. Plus, on top of that, we saw thousands and thousands of Canadians throughout the

00:10:04.700 whole convoy lining up on the side of freeways, regardless of how cold it is, regardless of how

00:10:09.600 snowy and how treacherous the road conditions were. We saw Canadians come out and here are these smug 1.00

00:10:15.440 journalists just trying to downplay it and say, no big deal. I saw so much hand wringing and so much

00:10:21.180 pearl clutching by the legacy media. It was really quite something. You know, we saw David Akin

00:10:26.000 complaining that there were cars parked by the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I loved how the Ottawa police

00:10:32.380 just kind of came back and said, actually, no, we asked them to move. And they did. So kind of

00:10:36.940 debunking this whole thing that David Akin over at Global News was trying to push. We saw a couple of

00:10:41.420 other journalists, a CBC producer kind of panicking, saying that there is a truck literally parked

00:10:46.920 right outside her house and she was scared. Another one, a city news reporter saying that seeing

00:10:53.020 hordes of cards scared her because she's a visible minority. Look, this has nothing to do with race.

00:10:58.060 The media kept trying to push this as some kind of a race, a racial issue. There weren't racial

00:11:02.820 elements. Anyone who paid attention to the protest knows that there were people from all backgrounds

00:11:07.540 here. Canada is a diverse country. The movement was a diverse country. It was not

00:11:10.980 about any of that. What I see when I see these reporters looking down their noses and all the

00:11:16.000 hand wringing and all the pearl clutching, people talking about how they're scared. What I really see

00:11:20.680 is a bunch of elite, college educated snobs who are frankly a little afraid of these rough around

00:11:27.940 the edges, blue collar truckers. These truckers are a little rambunctious. They're not the same kind 0.99

00:11:32.960 of refined people that you typically see in Ottawa. This is what I tweeted. Reports of people feeling

00:11:37.080 scared in Ottawa about one thing and one thing alone. This is a class divide. The well-fed woke

00:11:42.760 bureaucrat types are very, very afraid of the working class. They want them gone ASAP. I think

00:11:47.680 that's what's happening here. I think that people are just really uncomfortable because of the type

00:11:52.140 of people that are in Ottawa. They're not usually the type of people that are there. Well, I've got

00:11:55.260 news for all the elites in Ottawa. Those are Canadians. That's probably a more accurate portrayal of

00:12:00.440 what Canadians are like by and large across the country. They're not the Ottawa crowd. They're not your

00:12:04.600 typical Laurentian elites. They're just normal Canadians. They're normal working people. And

00:12:08.560 that sort of scares the bureaucrats and the elites and the Ottawa types. I had another tweet earlier

00:12:13.160 on the weekend saying this, watching a bunch of college educated middle class government employee

00:12:17.900 types who work nine to four, have six weeks of paid vacation and a defined benefit pension, i.e.

00:12:23.540 liberal voters, mocking the blue collar working class is really something. And I think that's pretty 0.99

00:12:28.040 much what we saw all weekend. Lots of moral panic among journalists, lots of open disdain for the

00:12:32.880 working class and really going into overtime to try to smear the protest. So what did the media choose

00:12:38.940 to focus in on? They sort of got four things. There's four kind of elements, four negative things

00:12:44.080 that did happen. And the media just really, really focused in on that and tried to pile on and tried

00:12:48.920 to portray an entire crowd of people by these few select unfortunate incidents. And we'll go through

00:12:55.140 each of them because none of them are nearly as bad as what the media portrayed. So the first one

00:12:59.800 is that there were two people from best I saw, I looked at 1000s and 1000s of pictures, I watched

00:13:05.740 endless countless hours of video footage from these events. And from best I could saw that best I could

00:13:12.000 tell, there were two guys that had Nazi flags, two guys, one is the main guy that everyone talked

00:13:18.520 about the Nazi flag guy, we really spent a lot of efforts at True North trying to identify this person,

00:13:23.560 we still are, there was the Nazi flag guy who from best I can tell, was at the protest for maybe five

00:13:29.800 minutes, he walked about 100 meters total, and then he completely disappeared. And the media made so

00:13:34.900 much about him. The second one was a guy who had a Canadian flag, and he had drawn a swastika on the

00:13:41.860 flag. And he happened to be waving it right behind Michael Cooper, the MP from St. Albert, as he was

00:13:47.320 giving an interview. So so these two instances of the Nazi swastika took over and that became the

00:13:53.380 legacy media narrative. These people are racist, they're openly Nazis, all of them, all of them. And here is 0.71

00:13:59.420 the evidence to prove it. Okay, so if you were online on the weekend, you hopefully you saw our story trying

00:14:04.520 to identify this guy, what the media did was they showed pictures of them. And they said, here's a Nazi

00:14:09.560 flag guy. And this means that the entire protest were Nazis, we saw this one picture circulating

00:14:15.420 around. And it was interesting, because we only saw that one picture from the one angle, it didn't really look

00:14:19.820 like it was inside the protest, it looks like it was somewhere else. And there were a couple things about it,

00:14:24.340 there were a little bit weird, people were pointing this out to me, some people thought it was Photoshop,

00:14:28.100 the flags, the wind was blowing in wrong direction. Someone else pointed to me like, you know, it was

00:14:32.700 minus 25 out on Saturday morning, why are there just people sitting on a park bench, you wouldn't

00:14:37.500 really be sitting on a park bench at minus 25. That's that's the kind of weather where you got to be

00:14:42.000 moving, or you're going to be inside, you can't just be sitting on a park bench leisurely. So that might

00:14:46.660 suggest that this was not taken in Ottawa. Well, I think that there was enough evidence to show that

00:14:51.000 this was taken in Ottawa. Users tell me that it was taken at a place called Majors Hill Park, which is

00:14:56.100 basically right behind the Chateau Laurier, which is right across from the Parliament buildings in Ottawa. So

00:15:01.520 the original picture was probably taken there. And you can see that the person walked up and can be seen

00:15:07.040 walking along the terrace of the Chateau Laurier. So this is the second image that started circulating online. So

00:15:12.900 same guy holding up his flag with the F Trudeau flag on top, and this horrific vile Nazi swastika 0.68

00:15:19.480 flag underneath. But again, you know, we're talking about a huge event with 10s of 1000s of people,

00:15:24.160 everybody's got a camera, everybody's got a phone. And it is a little strange that there are so few

00:15:28.240 pictures taking this guy, especially because that flag is just so jarring. It is so when you see it,

00:15:32.500 you just have this very uneasy feeling. And you're wondering why the heck is this guy flying this flag?

00:15:38.080 Again, the legacy media didn't do their due diligence, they didn't try to find out who this

00:15:42.160 person was, they didn't try to figure out what he was doing. Who is he? Is he part of the protest? Is he

00:15:47.140 protesting against the protest? Is he an actual Nazi? Is he a some kind of a paid disruptor trying

00:15:53.340 to discredit the whole movement? There's so many legitimate questions. And instead of trying to

00:15:58.340 figure out who this guy is, and trying to get answers, the legacy media were all too happy to

00:16:02.080 just stand back and smear. We at True North are different. So I put an original call saying that

00:16:06.840 I would pay $1,000 for tips leading to the identity of this person. I got a whole bunch of people

00:16:11.940 coming in, doubling it, offering $1,000 more. Our pot is now up to $6,500 for any information

00:16:18.200 that can lead to identifying this individual. I did get a good video of it. So I got a good look

00:16:23.140 at the guy's face. He looks like an older gentleman. And here he is, this is what he looks

00:16:26.900 like waving his despicable flag. I want to know who he is. I want to identify him. I want to expose who

00:16:32.260 he is. I want to find out. So if you have any information about this guy, if you know who this person

00:16:35.980 is, please, please contact us at True North. My email is just candace at truenorthcanada.com.

00:16:42.280 We can go to Twitter. My DMs are open. Send me a DM. I want to find out who this guy is. Unlike the

00:16:46.680 legacy media, there's journalism to be done here. And we should try to get to the bottom of that.

00:16:51.680 And next, like I said, Michael Cooper was doing an interview. Some idiot behind him had a Canadian 1.00

00:16:55.440 flag that he had drawn, a swastika. That has nothing to do with Michael Cooper. Okay. He's speaking at a 1.00

00:17:00.660 crowd. Someone did something stupid that has nothing to do with him. Of course, CTV piling 1.00

00:17:05.900 on saying that there are now people calling for him to resign over this. I don't know why

00:17:10.600 conservatives even bother responding to this stuff. This is just so bottom of the barrel.

00:17:14.360 This should be ignored, but we always get sucked into it. So here's Michael Cooper's statement,

00:17:18.640 which is absolutely correct and saying what he should say. Today, I attended a peaceful protest

00:17:24.500 in support of truckers and other Canadians defending their freedoms and their jobs. I did an impromptu

00:17:28.920 interview with CBC. Moments later, I learned from social media that unbeknownst to me,

00:17:32.660 someone with whom I'm not associated with was standing some distance behind me, holding a flag

00:17:37.080 with an evil symbol on it. Had I seen the symbol, I would have condemned it as I do now. Nazism is

00:17:41.820 the purest form of evil, and I've always condemned it completely. Whoever flew this flag is personally

00:17:45.800 responsible for that reprehensible decision and should be eternally ashamed of him or herself.

00:17:51.220 He or she does not represent the thousands of peaceful protesters who waved Canadian flags

00:17:55.120 and acted responsibly. I stand with them and will continue to fight for the Michael Cooper MP,

00:18:00.240 St. Albert Edmonton. Great statement. I completely agree with it. Again, I just think it's so stupid

00:18:05.040 that conservatives have to go down this path and pretend to grovel over something that was just so 0.99

00:18:11.480 clearly had nothing to do with him. The legacy media wanting to obsess over this, that's their problem.

00:18:15.800 That's their problem. It's so idiotic. If the media want to obsess over it, they can. It's just so 1.00

00:18:20.760 idiotic and so silly that the media focus on this and try to make this the big scandal of the events. 1.00

00:18:24.880 Okay, so the first thing that they did was try to portray all of these people as Nazis because, 0.99

00:18:29.380 like I said, two people, two individuals, both of whom we don't know who they are or anything about

00:18:34.160 them. And speaking of this whole Nazi thing, so we had a news story here about how some anti-hate

00:18:40.640 activists said that the protest convoy had the worst display of Nazi propaganda in the country,

00:18:46.320 trying to make it seem like it was just so beyond the pale that these two random people showed up

00:18:50.640 holding this evil symbol. Meanwhile, there was some great response to this, which was a bunch of

00:18:56.480 people on Twitter pointing to the obvious fact that every time there is an anti-Israel protest,

00:19:02.260 anytime there is a protest of Palestinians or Iranians or any number of groups in the Middle East,

00:19:07.540 you always see the swastika. They love to do this. They love to equate the swastika with the Jewish 0.89

00:19:12.560 star of David. They love to wave that thing. I've seen it so many times at rallies in Ottawa,

00:19:16.840 Toronto, Montreal, Calgary. They always do. You always see it. It is a spickle thing to see

00:19:21.860 somehow when it happens in these sort of fringe Islamist movements, the media ignore it. And

00:19:28.300 suddenly when they see two examples of it in this, at this, at the trucker rally, it becomes the

00:19:33.960 biggest story. So, so, so I'm sorry if I'm going to save my consternation. Yes, the Nazi flag is evil.

00:19:39.500 I hate seeing it in Canada. No, this is not the worst example in the country. We unfortunately see this

00:19:44.760 very often. Okay. So, so we had the media obsessed over the two guys with the swastikas. Next, we had

00:19:50.060 the media obsessed and completely focused on the Confederate flag. There are a few examples

00:19:54.260 circulating of people with the Confederate flag. And again, again, journalists, rather than trying

00:20:00.880 to ask questions, they just snap their photos from afar and try to use it to paint the entire movement

00:20:05.580 as racist. Interestingly, I tweeted this video. Here's an individual with a Confederate flag. And look

00:20:10.820 at this guy. Look at this guy. His face is completely covered. His identity is completely

00:20:15.000 concealed, which raises some flags. Who is this person? Is he really part of the trucker convoy

00:20:19.520 or is he some instigator, some paid protester who is there to make them all look bad? And you can see

00:20:24.840 how he's holding his stupid little flag. And basically the crowd tells them to go away. They 1.00

00:20:28.980 say, we don't want you here. Go away. Watch. This is a great video.

00:20:42.260 Now he's going. Now he's gone. We called him out. He knows he's going to hold his head in shame now.

00:20:50.160 Of course, that's not the video that the legacy media wants you to see. That's not the video that

00:20:53.320 they're showing you. They're making it seem like all of the people at the trucker convoy supported

00:20:56.960 the Confederate flag. No, they didn't. Not true. That is fake news. Okay. The third big thing that

00:21:01.860 the legacy media picked up on and tried to use it to smear the entire protest was the supposed

00:21:06.520 desecration of the Terry Fox statue. Okay. Let me just say one thing. I don't like it when people

00:21:12.080 put things on statues. I think statues are there to be commemorated and they're usually there to

00:21:16.620 celebrate great people, be it Terry Fox or John A. MacDonald or Queen Victoria or Queen Elizabeth.

00:21:22.020 I don't like it when people put things on statues, but all of a sudden the media has this impossible

00:21:26.120 standard. Okay. So first of all, this is what the Terry Fox statue looked like. Okay. Someone put

00:21:30.500 an upside down Canadian flag. Someone put a flag around his neck and there was a sign saying mandate

00:21:35.500 freedom. This is hardly desecration. For a country that has seen so many of our statues torn down over

00:21:40.960 recent years and the media hardly bat an eye over it. Remember Canada Day last year? Remember what they

00:21:45.500 did to the Queen Victoria statue? Remember what they did to the John A. MacDonald statues? This is what

00:21:50.620 happens on a regular basis in the country. Remember what happened to the Egerton Ryerson statues

00:21:54.740 in Toronto? They get desecrated. They get destroyed. Okay. This, what happened with Terry Fox,

00:22:00.840 this is a couple people making a political statement with the Terry Fox statue. It was

00:22:05.100 quickly taken down. And as you can see, Kian Beckstein, an independent reporter, showed later on

00:22:09.800 in the weekend, people were cleaning it up. People were doing their best to keep it safe,

00:22:14.120 keep it clean. Not what the legacy media reported at all. Instead, you see story after story after story

00:22:18.760 lying and pretending that something inappropriate happened with the Terry Fox statue. Look at this

00:22:25.360 global news headline. Just sickening. Just sickening. Give me a break. And many Twitter users were quick

00:22:31.120 to point out how frequently other people put things on Terry Fox. It is very frequent. In recent years,

00:22:36.360 they put masks over him. They put medical masks because of COVID. They put toques on him. Here he is

00:22:41.620 with a liberal activist holding a gay pride flag. Okay. So this isn't something that's never happened

00:22:46.440 before. This is something that is somewhat common and really hearing the media all of a sudden

00:22:50.780 getting upset and getting worked up over wanting to protect our statue. Give me a break. Give me a

00:22:55.600 break. We all know exactly where you stand, where you were over the last two years when we've seen

00:22:59.600 countless statues getting torn down in this country. So no, I'm not buying into that. The fourth story

00:23:03.720 the legacy media wanted you to be concerned about when it came to the convoy is this idea that they

00:23:08.400 were being disrespectful to the war memorial, all because of a video of one lady who was standing up

00:23:14.300 on the tomb of the unknown soldier. And you can tell from this video that she's acting completely

00:23:19.020 by herself. She clearly doesn't know where she is or what she's doing. Look, if you've never been to

00:23:22.440 Ottawa before, you might not know what all these statues mean. You might not understand what they

00:23:26.520 are and how important they are for the community that you live in. There's still no excuse. And you

00:23:30.680 can tell from the video that the woman is basically being told by the people around her,

00:23:34.300 hey, get off that. That's not something that you can stand up on. Come on. And you can see

00:23:38.840 she rectifies and corrects her behavior right away. Here's that clip. So no, this wasn't a group

00:23:53.600 of people dancing on the war memorial. This isn't people being disrespectful memorial. This is one

00:23:57.320 person making a mistake, quickly rectifying it and a story. But you know, the media tried to

00:24:02.660 obsess over it, try to make it seem like this is the biggest story. And we even saw the police

00:24:07.180 saying that they are now investigating the supposed desecration of the unknown soldiers memorial as

00:24:13.760 well as the Terry Fox statue. This is so silly. This is so silly. Give me a break. Okay, the final 0.96

00:24:19.720 thing I want to talk about here is how much of a success this weekend is. There were zero arrests.

00:24:24.340 This is my report over at True North. We went through all of the police scans from the Ottawa police

00:24:28.980 for the entire weekend. There were zero arrests, zero arrests given the size and magnitude of this

00:24:34.480 protest pretty remarkable, no violence, no arrests. So this despite the legacy media trying to preposition

00:24:40.180 trying to spin trying to forecast that this was going to be a violent protest. Here's a headline

00:24:44.660 from CTV News from Friday, Trudeau concerned trucker convoy converging on Parliament Hill could turn

00:24:49.940 violent. Of course, I'm concerned said Trudeau talking about violence. So they're they're trying

00:24:54.720 to preposition the idea that this was going to be violence. We saw so many media report hinting and

00:24:59.680 alluding to violence. They had so many people. They talked to so many experts, experts saying that

00:25:04.640 these people are violent. The rhetoric is violent. This crowd is going to be violent. The reality was

00:25:09.500 the exact opposite. There was no violence. There were no arrests. And this is a huge contrast to your

00:25:14.340 typical leftist rally or protest that turns into a riot. Just go back and look at the left-wing rallies

00:25:20.140 every time. I have a couple of examples of it in the story. In November 2020, there was a Black and 0.98

00:25:24.540 Indigenous Lives Matter protest. A dozen people arrested and charged. Back in 2016, there was a

00:25:30.920 huge, huge anti-pipeline protest. 99 people were arrested. And they were later charged with

00:25:36.700 trespassing. Why? Because they breached center block, right? We heard so many people talking about

00:25:40.400 how this was going to be Canada's January 6th. So they were going to try to do an insurrection.

00:25:44.360 They were going to try to breach the parliament building. Of course, it didn't happen. That was never

00:25:47.680 going to happen. In fact, that did happen six years ago with an anti-pipeline protest. They breached

00:25:52.840 parliament. Almost 100 of them got arrested. But of course, the media are downplaying that. And

00:25:57.600 they're just doing everything they can to make you think that this is a violent rally, that this is

00:26:01.440 something that it isn't. They even covered the same story that I covered. This was in the Canadian

00:26:04.960 press. And they reported the exact same facts that there were zero arrests. There was no violence.

00:26:09.760 But this is how it read. I'll read you the opening line because it is so absurd.

00:26:13.020 Police haven't reported any physical violence at the ongoing Ottawa rally against vaccine mandates.

00:26:18.160 But critics warn that conflating the absence of bloodshed with peaceful protests

00:26:22.760 downplays the dangers of the weekend demonstrations. So again, they're reporting that there are no

00:26:27.580 violence while also making it feel like they're violent while also drumming up fear against these

00:26:32.920 people and really just trying to paint them in the most negative light possible. Okay, final thing

00:26:38.300 here that I want to say is that this came out today. Incredible, incredible stuff. Most Canadians

00:26:43.540 agree with the convoy. We're at a point in the country where 54% of Canadians, the majority,

00:26:49.020 now say it is time to end COVID restrictions and leave responsibility for isolation to those at

00:26:54.380 risk is up from 40% in January. So the whole point of this convoy is to tell government enough is

00:26:58.880 enough. Leave us the hell alone. Get rid of these stupid COVID restrictions. Canadians agree 54%. So

00:27:04.400 this whole idea that is a small fringe minority, these people are extreme, that they don't represent

00:27:08.340 the mainstream. That's wrong. That's wrong. This is the mainstream opinion in Canada is not fringe.

00:27:14.140 It is mainstream. And important to note that the protest is not over. This is really just beginning.

00:27:19.480 Yes, we had a really successful, really fun weekend. It was so great to see. But it's not over. This isn't

00:27:24.640 just one of those things where the truckers are just going to pack up and leave. This is here to stay.

00:27:28.840 There has been a fundamental shift in this country. You can feel it. Canada today feels freer. It feels

00:27:35.200 more united, more optimistic, and frankly, more Canadian than it has felt in a long time. And this makes the

00:27:41.040 elites afraid. This is why the bureaucrats and the government employees and all the politicians and

00:27:45.580 all the journalists in Ottawa are freaking out. Because they like the status quo. They like the

00:27:49.380 liberal government. They like government power. And they like the woke ideology just being able to

00:27:53.800 steamroll everyone else. And right now, in this moment, they can feel it all slipping away. And

00:27:59.400 that's why they're reacting the way they do. That's why we saw all the media smears. That's why we saw

00:28:03.040 all of the hysteria online over the weekend. It's because they know that they are losing.

00:28:08.040 Now, for Canadians, this weekend was a success in just so many measures. And for us here at

00:28:13.080 True North, it proved the perfect contrast in journalism. Legacy media exposed themselves

00:28:18.620 as being corrupted and biased. They're pro-liberal. They're pro-Justin Trudeau. And they're against

00:28:23.640 the people. They're against you and me. They're against the working man. Their disgraceful attempts

00:28:28.580 at propaganda and smearing the good people, the good truckers who united this nation will not

00:28:33.760 soon be forgotten. I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.

00:28:38.040 The Candice Malcolm Show.

00:28:38.940 This is The Candice documents, and I'm Candice Malcolm...

00:28:40.500 The Candice殖 Club, where I was in Holland, where I am

00:28:42.200 to the fellow Alpha and oftentimes, people know it. I took it too long. I put

00:28:43.240 out, but I said to see them on the water. I did not warn me. I know

00:28:45.000 I did not have this powerBLUM. Can't tell me now doing that through my

00:28:46.100 Fran- exact vacunations because I wanted to get off my

00:28:50.880 whatever machine.

00:28:51.500 It's very helpful. I want to make this profound message for you and I wanted to

00:28:53.000 get. I didn't accept this answer. I don't really know anything

00:28:53.920 yet. I'm standing up to do well. I did in this parole but I have a

00:28:57.820 mi. I just need help I want to get into this question that I do.

00:28:58.320 I can see what I'm doing here
