00:00:00.000 To be fair to Justin Trudeau, there are a few differences between the Freedom Convoy
00:00:03.400 and the White Paper Rebellion, which is what they're calling the protests in China.
00:00:06.700 At least the CCP don't have to deal with bouncy castles and hot tubs. 1.00
00:00:10.060 I mean, I think that if the Chinese were to start breaking out the bouncy castles, 1.00
00:00:13.240 Justin Trudeau's tune might change a little bit.
00:00:14.920 He even might pick up the phone and call Xi and say,
00:00:17.260 if you want the horses, let me know, I'll bring them in.
00:00:19.640 But seriously though, come on, does this look like the kind of police action
00:00:22.860 against a peaceful protest that you would see in a country
00:00:25.480 whose Prime Minister supposedly defends everyone's right to express themselves,
00:00:30.360 defends everyone's right to peacefully protest?
00:00:33.340 Does this really look like that?
00:00:34.360 Goose! Goose! Goose! Goose! Goose! 0.99
00:00:55.480 But like I said at the beginning, the hypocrisy is not limited to Justin Trudeau. 0.63
00:01:11.640 It's Canada's legacy media who Justin Trudeau likes to shovel lots of cash to.
00:01:15.640 The legacy media had no problem going along with the narrative
00:01:18.300 that everyone who was supporting the Freedom Convoy was part of a small fringe minority.
00:01:22.300 They were part of the far right.
00:01:23.560 They were doing anything they could to demonize those who just wanted their freedoms back.
00:01:27.760 They out and out refused to show any coverage of the freedom marches
00:01:31.480 that took place in Toronto weekend after weekend for months.
00:01:35.320 And then after the Freedom Convoy,
00:01:36.840 how many headlines did we see of legacy media journalists
00:01:39.720 telling all of us that the Canada flag became a symbol for hatred,
00:01:43.240 that the Canada flag was now a racist hate symbol?
00:01:45.980 I mean, just take a look at the comparison of the CBC articles.
00:01:48.860 Filling in the blank.
00:01:49.780 Why protesters in China are holding up white sheets of paper
00:01:53.100 experts said the pieces of paper held aloft by demonstrators are a metaphor for China's censorship.
00:01:58.380 Anti-vaccine mandate protests spread across the country, crippling Canada-US trade.
00:02:03.660 I believe it is very serious and potentially grave, minister says of Windsor border blockade.
00:02:07.980 Yeah, the border blockade that was cleared without emergency powers was crippling the economy.
00:02:12.280 It was very serious and potentially grave.
00:02:14.740 And all this goes without mentioning that Toronto Star front page,
00:02:17.200 where they basically just said the unvaccinated can go to die.
00:02:19.740 Now that was the kind of legacy media coverage we got when we were fighting for freedom.
00:02:23.160 And now look at them, waxing lyrical about the Chinese protesting for their freedom. 0.95
00:02:26.960 But sometimes, we're going to make sense to the Attorney for the American State
