00:00:44.780 LATER ON IN THE SHOW, BUT THE MESSAGE SENT TO THE WEF-BACKED RULING ELITES LAST WEEK WAS SIMPLE.

00:00:54.880 IS OVER AND THE TIME FOR FREEDOM LOVING PATRIOTS WHO REJECT THOSE AUTHORITARIAN POLICIES IS RIGHT 0.60

00:01:00.820 DROP A LIKE IN THE VIDEO, HELP US OUT BY SUBSCRIBEING TO THE TRUE NORTH YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND THE COMMENT
00:01:03.900 QUESTION FOR THE EPISODE IS THIS.
00:01:05.880 COULD JUSTIN TRUDEAU BE FACED WITH A SIMILAR FARMER Uprising IN THIS COUNTRY?
00:01:11.160 LET ME KNOW AND LET'S GET INTO IT.
00:01:12.720 THE RESULTS ARE IN AND THE BBB, THE FARMER CITIZENS MOVEMENT IN THE NETHERLANDS HAVE
00:01:16.900 WON 17 SEATS IN THE DUTCH SENATE ELECTION.
00:01:20.540 MARK RUTE'S COALITION GOVERNMENT HELLBENT ON CRIPPLING THE LIVES OF DUTCH FARMERS AND
00:01:24.980 ENACTING EMISSIONS REDUCTION TARGETS IN THE NAME OF SAVING THE PLANET WAS DEALT A DECISIVE
00:01:30.000 DEFEAT.
00:01:31.000 NOW THIS IS HOW REUTERS JUST REPORTED ON THE POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE IN THE NETHERLANDS.
00:01:34.720 DUTCH FARMERS PROTEST PARTY SCORES BIG ELECTION WIN SHAKING UP SENATE.
00:01:39.600 A FARMERS PROTEST PARTY SHOOK UP THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPE IN THE NETHERLANDS ON WEDNESDAY,
00:01:43.680 EMERGING AS THE BIG WINNER IN PROVINCIAL ELECTIONS THAT DETERMINED THE MAKEUP OF THE SENATE.
00:01:47.960 THE BBB, OR FARMER CITIZEN MOVEMENT PARTY, WROTE A WAVE OF PROTESTS AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT'S
00:01:52.680 ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES AND LOOKED SET TO HAVE WON MORE SENATE SEAT THAN PRIME MINISTER MARK RUTE'S CONSERVATIVE
00:01:59.640 VVD PARTY.
00:02:01.640 CONSERVATIVE.
00:02:02.640 I LOVE THAT.
00:02:03.640 NOT ANYTHING ABOUT MARK RUTE, CONSERVATIVE IS THE LAST ADJECTIVE THEY WOULD USE TO DESCRIBE
00:02:08.480 MARK RUTE'S GOVERNING STYLE.
00:02:10.380 THE METEORIC RISE OF BBB IS A MAJOR BLOW FOR RUTE'S GOVERNING COALITION, CASTING DOUBT
00:02:15.820 OVER ITS AIM TO DRASTICALLY CUT NITROGEN POLLUTION ON FARMS, THE SINGLE ISSUE UPON WHICH THE BBB
00:02:21.340 WAS FOUNDED IN 2019.
00:02:23.800 RUTE'S GOVERNMENT HAS NOT HAD A SENATE MAJORITY SINCE THE PREVIOUS PROVINCIAL ELECTIONS IN 2019
00:02:28.620 AND MUST NEGOTIATE DEALS WITH MOSTLY LEFT-WING OPPONENTS. 0.59
00:02:31.560 THE TWO MOST COOPERATIVE PARTIES, LABOR AND GREEN LEFT, LOOKED SET TO HAVE HELD ON
00:02:36.360 TO THEIR SEATS, KEEPING THEIR COMBINED GROUPS AT A PAR WITH BBB AND POSSIBLY ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN
00:02:41.440 SUPPORT FOR RUTE'S POLICIES.
00:02:43.000 RUTE'S GOVERNMENT IN ITS FOURTH CONSECUTIVE TERM SINCE 2010 HAS DROPPED TO A 20% APPROVER
00:02:48.940 RATING, ITS LOWEST IN A DECADE.
00:02:51.340 LIMITING APPROVAL RATINGS?
00:02:52.340 HAVING TO SIGN DEALS WITH FAR LEFT PARTIES JUST TO STAY IN POWER?
00:02:56.140 DOESN'T THAT SOUND FAMILIAR TO YOU GUYS?
00:02:58.140 EVEN THOUGH INTERNATIONAL LEGACY MEDIA NEWS OUTLETS HAVE BEEN COVERING THE SHOCKED POLITICAL
00:03:02.100 VICTORY OF THE BBB, DON'T WORRY, THEY HAVEN'T CHANGED TOO MUCH.
00:03:05.520 THE BBC, WHO CAN ALWAYS BE COUNTED ON TO PUSH BIASED, SKUED AND NARRATIVE-PROMOTING NEWS, HAVE
00:03:10.140 TRIED TO DISCREDIT THE FARMERS' PROTEST MOVEMENT AS A FRINGE IDEA THAT USES FEAR TO GAIN ELECTORAL RESULTS.
00:03:17.340 JUST LISTEN TO THE PALPABLE FRUSTRATION COMING FROM THE MOUTH OF THIS BBC JOURNALIST WHO HAS TO DESCRIBE 0.68
00:03:22.480 THE POLITICAL VICTORY OF THE BBB.
00:03:24.480 LET'S GET MORE ON THIS, I'M JOIN BY A CORRESPONDENT IN THE HAGUE, ANNA HOLIGAN.
00:03:27.780 ANNA, WELCOME TO YOU.
00:03:28.780 SO TELL US MORE ABOUT WHO THIS PARTY IS, WHAT THEY REPRESENT.
00:03:35.460 THEY DIDN'T EXIST FOUR YEARS AGO, THAT'S HOW REMARKABLE THIS EARTHQUAKE IN DUTCH POLITICS
00:03:40.760 REALLY IS.
00:03:41.760 THE BIG QUESTION NOW IS THOUGH, WILL THIS FARMERS' PARTY THAT WAS BUILT ON A FOUNDATION OF
00:03:47.300 FEAR AMONG FARMERS THAT THEIR FARMS, THEIR DAIRY FARMS ARE GOING TO BE BOUGHT OUT UNDER
00:03:51.700 GOVERNMENT PLANS TO TRY TO REDUCE HARMFUL NITROGEN POLLUTION IN ORDER TO MEET CLIMATE TARGETS? 0.89
00:03:57.480 WILL THIS PARTY ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO LIVE UP TO THAT PROMISE BY BLOCKING THE GOVERNMENT'S
00:04:02.620 PLANS IN THE SENATE?
00:04:03.860 BECAUSE IT LOOKS SET TO BECOME THE LARGEST PARTY.
00:04:07.760 AND YET, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM, ON THE LEFT, THE GREENS AND LABOR
00:04:13.460 ARE TEAMING UP TO FORM AN ALLIANCE WHICH WILL PROBABLY GET THE SAME NUMBER OF SEATS, 15 SEATS
00:04:18.140 IN THE SENATE.
00:04:19.140 DID YOU CATCH WHAT SHE SAID THERE?
00:04:20.600 THAT THE FARMERS-CITIZENS MOVEMENT PARTY WAS BUILT AROUND FEAR THAT FARMERS HAD THAT
00:04:24.840 THEIR FARMS WOULD BE SEIZED BY THE DUTCH GOVERNMENT?
00:04:27.220 THAT BBC JOURNALIST CONVENIENTLY FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE FEAR THAT DUTCH FARMERS HAVE WHEN IT
00:04:31.760 COMES TO THEIR GOVERNMENT IS NOT UNFOUNDED.
00:04:34.360 IN FACT, IT IS THE EXPRESS PUBLIC GOAL OF MARK RUTTA TO SEIZ FARMS FROM DUTCH FARMERS WHO
00:04:40.320 AREN'T GOING TO ABIDE BY HIS RIDICULOUS EMISSIONS REDUCTION SCHEMES.
00:04:45.800 LAST YEAR, IN THE WAKE OF THE FREEDOM CONVOY, DUTCH FARMERS ROSE UP AGAINST THEIR GOVERNMENT 0.98
00:04:50.420 FOR DECLARING THAT NITROGEN EMISSIONS WOULD BE REDUCED BY 50% BY 2030.
00:04:55.940 HOW EXACTLY DID THE DUTCH GOVERNMENT PLAN TO ACHIEVE THEIR LOFTY REDUCTION TARGETS?
00:04:59.160 WELL, THIS IS HOW THE GUARDIAN PUT IT LAST YEAR.
00:05:01.540 2,000-3,000 PEAK POLLUTERS, AS THE GOVERNMENT DESCRIBES THEM, WHO ARE, QUOTE, MOSTLY FARMERS, 0.94
00:05:07.820 IN AGRICULTURE MINISTER SPOKESPERSON TOLD THE GUARDIAN, WILL BE OFFERED A FINAL SET OF CHOICES.
00:05:13.300 INNOVATE TO DRASTICALLY REDUCE EMISSIONS, TRANSITION TO A NEW KIND OF BUSINESS, EXTEND IN WAYS
00:05:19.060 THAT REDUCE THEIR IMPACT, RELOCATE OR VOLUNTARILY STOP.
00:05:23.920 AND IF THESE MULTI-GENERATIONAL DUTCH FARMERS CHOOSE TO NOT VOLUNTARILY STOP THEIR WAY OF LIFE, 0.99
00:05:30.100 THE GOVERNMENT HAS OPENLY SAID THAT THEY WILL JUST SIMPLY FORCE THE BUYOUTS OF FARMS.
00:05:35.180 THEY WILL NATIONALIZE AND EXPORPRIATE FARMLAND IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THEIR CLIMATE GOALS.
00:05:40.180 ISN'T THERE A HISTORY LESSON SOMEWHERE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE WHEN THEIR GOVERNMENT SEIZES FARMLANDS 0.91
00:05:44.500 FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES?
00:05:45.380 I DON'T KNOW, SOUNDS KIND OF FAMILIAR.
00:05:47.140 OH, AND ALONG WITH THE DUTCH GOVERNMENT'S PLAN TO SEIZE THE FARMLAND OF, QUOTE, PEAK POLLUTERS,
00:05:51.620 IT ALSO INCLUDES PLANS TO GET RID OF MILLIONS OF CATTLE AND PIGS.
00:05:55.460 AND AFTER THE DUTCH GOVERNMENT MADE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT, DUTCH FARMERS ROSE UP LAST YEAR IN HISTORIC NUMBERS,
00:06:00.460 TAKING A PAGE OUT OF THE FREEDOM CONVOY MOVEMENT AND SHOWING THEIR DEFIANCE TO MARK RUTTA'S AUTHORITARIAN CLIMATE POLICIES.
00:06:07.460 THOSE PROTESTS RESULTED IN THE RESIGNATION OF THE DUTCH AGRICULTURAL MINISTER AND, THANKS TO THE RESULTS LAST WEEK, THE DEFEAT OF THE DUTCH GOVERNMENT IN THE SENATE ELECTIONS.
00:06:16.900 NOW, THANKS TO SOME GREAT REPORTING FROM TRUE NORTH AND OTHER AILLETS, WE KNOW THAT JUSTIN TRUDEAU PLANS TO IMPLEMENT SIMILAR EMISSIONS REDUCTION TARGETS ON CANADIANS.
00:06:24.820 BUT TRUE NORTH'S EXCLUSIVE REPORTING, THE FERTILIZER FILES FROM COSMAN, GEORGIA, SHOW JUST HOW CLOSE JUSTIN TRUDEAU'S CLIMATE POLICIES ARE ALIGNED WITH MARK RUTTA'S.
00:06:34.180 IN FACT, THE CANADIAN AGRICULTURAL MINISTER, MARIE-CLAUDE BIBO, HAS OPENLY SAID THAT THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT TAKES INSPIRATION FROM MARK RUTTA'S AUTHORITARIAN FARMING POLICIES.
00:06:44.180 THROUGH ACCESS TO INFORMATION REQUESTS, TRUE NORTH WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN INTERNAL AGRICULTURE CANADA DOCUMENTS.
00:06:50.180 AND FROM THAT, TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO FIND.
00:06:52.180 A COPY OF A SPEECH DELIVERED BY AGRICULTURAL MINISTER MARIE-CLAUDE BIBO THAT SAME YEAR AS PART OF A SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE WEBINAR WITH EUROPEAN COUNTERPARTS WENT EVEN FURTHER,
00:07:02.180 DESCRIBING CANADA'S MEASURE AS QUOTE VERY CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH FERTILIZER REDUCTION TARGETS IN THE EU'S FARM TO FORK STRATEGY.
00:07:10.180 AND GIVEN THAT FERTILIZER ACCOUNTS FOR A LARGE CHUNK OF AGRICULTURAL EMISSIONS, YOU MIGHT THINK THAT ADVISING THE FERTILIZER INDUSTRY IN CANADA MIGHT BE A WISE CHOICE BEFORE IMPLEMENTING THESE TARGETS.
00:07:20.180 ESPECIALLY HOW DUTCH FARMERS REACTED TO SIMILAR TARGETS BEING PLACED ON THEM.
00:07:24.180 BUT WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED? THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO ADVISE THE FERTILIZER INDUSTRY.
00:07:29.180 THEY DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO ADVISE FARMERS WHOSE LIVES WOULD BE UPENDED BY THESE EMISSION REDUCTION TARGETS.
00:07:34.180 THEY JUST HAD TO DO IT ANYWAY. BECAUSE IN THE NAME OF CLIMATE, AS WE ALL KNOW, YOU HAVE TO CONTROL THE FARMERS, YOU HAVE TO CONTROL THE FOOD SUPPLY.
00:07:40.180 DANIEL KELTER, THE SENIOR MANAGER OF GOVERNMENT RELATIONS FOR FERTILIZER CANADA, WENT ON TO EXPLAIN IN AN EMAIL TO TRUE NORTH THAT THE FERTILIZER INDUSTRY WAS NOT CONSULTED ON THE 30% EMISSION REDUCTION GOAL.
00:07:52.180 EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY WORKING IN THIS FIELD FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS AND IT ASKED AGRICULTURE CANADA FOR COOPERATION ON THIS EXACT ISSUE A NUMBER OF TIMES.
00:08:01.180 FORTILIZER CANADA WROTE A PUBLIC REPORT TO CANADIANS WARNING THEM THAT IF THIS EMISSION REDUCTION TARGET WENT AHEAD, FARMERS COULD STAND TO LOSE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN THE NAME OF FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE.
00:08:12.180 THE SITUATION IN THE NEDERLANDS AND THE SITUATION IN CANADA ARE TOO SIMILAR NOT TO MENTION.
00:08:16.180 YOU HAVE TWO UNPOPULAR YOUNG GLOBAL LEADERS IN MARK RUTTA AND JUSTIN TRUDEAU.
00:08:21.180 BOTH HELLBENT ON SAVING THE PLANET THROUGH CRIPPLING EMISSION REDUCTION TARGETS AND OTHER RIDICULOUS CLIMATE GOALS.
00:08:28.180 DESPERATELY HOLDING ON TO POWER BY SIGNING AGREEMENTS WITH FAR LEFT PARTIES. 0.87
00:08:32.180 BOTH FACING HUGE PROTEST MOVEMENTS.
00:08:35.180 SO WHY HASN'T THIS HAPPENED IN CANADA?
00:08:38.180 COULD A SIMILAR SINGLE ISSUE PARTY WIN A PROVINCIAL OR EVEN A FEDERAL ELECTION?
00:08:43.180 TAKE SOME SEAT IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS?
00:08:45.180 ALL WE'VE SEEN SO FAR IN CANADA ARE SMALL SCALE UNSUCCESSFUL AMATURE IMITATIONS OF WHAT THE FARMER CITIZEN MOVEMENT HAS BECOME IN THE NEDERLANDS.
00:08:53.180 BUT GIVEN THE SIMILARITIES OF OUR COUNTRIES AND OUR PRIME MINISTERS, YOU'D BE KIDDING YOURSELF IF YOU DIDN'T THINK THAT JUSTIN TRUDEAU
00:08:59.180 WASN'T LOOKING AT THIS RESULT AND GETTING A LITTLE NERVOUS.
00:09:02.180 ALL RIGHT, EVERYONE, THAT'S GOING TO DO IT FOR US TODAY ON THE SHOW.
00:09:05.180 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TUNING IN.
00:09:06.180 MY NAME IS HARRISON FAULKNER AND THIS IS RATIO.
