00:00:00.000 There was a big decision that came out this week, which was that a superior court in Alberta,

00:00:05.640 an Alberta appeal court, sorry, voted that the punitive harmful Bill C-69, which was

00:00:11.880 the law that required all kinds of really intensive assessments, including like gendered 0.87

00:00:17.640 assessments that would, you know, impact whether or not projects would be allowed to go through

00:00:23.420 in Alberta. Basically, this idea like, you know, I think it was dubbed the No More Pipeline Bill

00:00:27.660 by critics in Alberta, because it was just this really punitive environmental bureaucracy

00:00:32.720 that was placed, this onus placed on oil and gas companies, public companies before getting

00:00:38.280 any anything approved. So the Alberta government pushed back and said, this is this is against

00:00:43.360 the Constitution, they challenged it. And a court in Alberta found that that was right, that that

00:00:49.220 that they agreed with a true to what they agreed with the Kenny government in Alberta, that this

00:00:54.680 environmental impact law was unconstitutional. And I want to I just want to talk because,

00:01:00.240 you know, the theme of the show, and we call it fake news Friday, because the idea that the media,

00:01:06.580 they pretend to be straight news journalists, they pretend to be neutral. But really, what they're

00:01:11.320 doing is activism. And it's just a charade, like they pretend to be neutral, but they're not.

00:01:15.880 And this is one of the stories that you might not see it the first time you read it, or most people

00:01:19.880 might not catch all the nuances. But when you read through a piece like this, which it was written

00:01:24.700 by the Canadian press, of course, it means that it appears in newspapers and websites all across

00:01:29.400 the country. This this one here we have it was it was placed in global news, but but typically CP runs

00:01:35.260 and everything including, you know, sites that people think of as conservative, like the National

00:01:39.400 Post or the Toronto Sun, they run CP stories, as well, CP stands for the Canadian press. I'm just

00:01:44.960 going to go through this basically line by line, because it is incredibly biased. And this is this

00:01:50.060 is in a nutshell, is what we mean when we're talking about fake news, and the biased landscape

00:01:55.480 in Canada. Okay, so here's a piece the headline says, Alberta appeal court says federal environmental

00:02:01.460 impact law, not okay. So so here we see right off the bat, it kind of gives us a little explanation

00:02:08.240 of what just happened says Alberta's top court said Tuesday, that the federal government's

00:02:12.860 environmental impact law is unconstitutional, and Ottawa almost immediately announced its

00:02:18.080 plan to appeal. So so in the first paragraph, we don't even get the news, we get the reaction

00:02:23.460 from Ottawa. So it's not about how this law is unconstitutional, it goes right to Dustin

00:02:27.940 Trudeau plans to fight back. Then paragraph two, it says the Alberta Court of Appeals strongly

00:02:33.220 worded opinion. So the impact assessment act is an existential threat, notice this scare quotes

00:02:39.800 there around existential threat to the division of powers guaranteed by the Constitution, and has

00:02:44.820 taken a square quote, again, wrecking ball to the constitutional rights of the citizens of Alberta

00:02:49.780 and Saskatchewan. The majority of judges sided with Alberta, arguing that the legislation allowed Ottawa to

00:02:56.000 put provinces in an economic chokehold, and give it the means to choose winners and losers. Okay, so

00:03:01.420 so we have three paragraphs there, Harrison, that sort of establish the story. And in it, it's already

00:03:06.060 torqued, right? Rather than providing a quote from the judge that wrote the decision that the one that

00:03:12.500 won, right, that there was a vote, and that decision won, they just pulled scare quotes to kind of like

00:03:19.000 make a mockery of it, basically. But again, stressing the fact that we're not done with this, and that

00:03:25.420 Ottawa is going to appeal. Okay, so so that's the first three paragraphs, fourth paragraphs, it goes

00:03:30.560 straight to Justin Trudeau, right? It doesn't go to the judge who wrote the decision, it doesn't go to

00:03:34.860 anyone in Alberta, the Kennedy government in Alberta, who are the ones pushing that this review, it goes

00:03:39.920 straight to Justin Trudeau, basically defending himself, saying the justification behind putting the bill in

00:03:46.180 place in the first place, that we have four paragraphs in a row of Justin Trudeau quotes. Okay, so so so so we're

00:03:52.360 not getting a fair idea of what is going on, why this case was determined, we are just hearing Justin Trudeau's

00:03:58.940 justification. I just want to pause right here, Harrison, because if you go back to any of the laws that

00:04:04.580 Stephen Harper wrote, and the former conservative government that were struck down by a court, that

00:04:08.980 the emphasis was exactly flipped, right? It would be like, this judge, this heroic judge wrote this

00:04:14.360 decision, scrapping this horrible law that Harper tried to introduce. And it would be all about quotes

00:04:19.580 like bashing the government, whereas here, it's flipped, they don't quote the decision, they quote the

00:04:24.500 prime minister explaining himself and saying why he is right, right off the top.
