00:00:00.320 Hi, I'm Candice Malcolm. I spent almost a decade of my career working as a journalist
00:00:04.520 and as a pundit in the mainstream media in Canada. But I left because I couldn't believe
00:00:09.020 what was happening. Did you know that almost all mainstream media journalists in Canada
00:00:14.480 are funded by the Trudeau Liberal government? Yes, they're funded by the Liberals. The
00:00:19.100 CBC gets more than a billion dollars a year, but even the newspapers receive bailout money
00:00:23.700 from taxpayers. So tell me this, how could they possibly be trusted to hold government
00:00:28.320 officials accountable when those government officials literally pay their salary. It's corrupt.
00:00:33.520 That's why I left the mainstream media and I'm now an independent journalist in Canada fighting
00:00:37.800 to get the same access as the mainstream media. Look, we're heading into an election in Canada
00:00:42.380 and I believe it will be the most important election of my lifetime. But the playing field
00:00:47.260 is uneven. The media is funded by the Liberals and the media is doing everything they can to
00:00:52.640 ensure that the Liberals win. If you believe in a free press, an honest press, a fair and balanced
00:00:57.620 Press, a media landscape where independent journalists can have the same access to ask
00:01:02.380 questions during the election, then please sign our petition. We don't want a handout. We don't
00:01:08.520 want special treatment. We just want equal standing to the bought and paid for press in the 2025
00:01:14.220 election. Have your voice heard, sign our petition, and help us build a better future for Canada.
00:01:20.060 Thank you.
