00:04:04.080have reporters across the country putting out independent reports, digging, doing the
00:04:08.360investigative reporting that the legacy media refuses to do. You're not going to get it from
00:04:12.420Time Magazine, who's busy writing puff pieces about our prime minister. We need independent
00:04:16.700journalists to hold this government to account, and that is what Juno News is trying to do.
00:04:21.100Okay, I want to just talk about one more news story before I bring on Kian Bextie,
00:04:24.940and this is this unbelievable video that is going viral, and I couldn't believe it when I saw it.
00:04:30.120It's so despicable. This is what the left has resorted to, but I'm going to show you a clip.
00:04:34.080of chief charlene bellew she is an aboriginal activist she was speaking at a ubc faculty of
00:04:42.720medicine event ubc med school faculty of medicine these are prestigious people these are fancy
00:04:49.040people these are supposedly the elites of our society and yet they have this woman on and she
00:04:54.640goes on an unbelievable tirade against francis widowson francis is the academic university
00:05:01.520professor we've worked with her many times over the years she's been on the program published a
00:05:07.040book that she wrote a chapter in called grave error she's a great activist on this topic and
00:05:13.120she's putting together a documentary this woman chief charlene bellew really doesn't like francis
00:05:19.040widowson remember when francis widowson went to ubc they had her arrested there was a mob
00:05:23.200well here is bellew in her own words talking about francis widowson saying that she wishes
00:05:29.120that someone would take her into a basement her and beat her this is what passes for discourse
00:05:35.840at the university of british columbia it is despicable let's roll that clip um you know i
00:05:41.680told her i wish that i our people could grab you drag you over to the camels residential school0.97
00:05:50.320put you into the basement speak our language to you nothing but secret beat you you hurt you
00:06:00.080and maybe you'd understand what we our people win sir i mean you can hear the person who she's
00:06:05.600speaking to give her some positive affirmation here go yeah we all wish that we all wish that
00:06:11.840we could take those pesky independent thinkers the ones who ask questions and who refuse to accept0.86
00:06:17.760the narrative we wish we could just take them all into the basement and beat them and them and shut
00:06:23.120them up because that's what we do to our political opponents if you're on the left and apparently the0.97
00:06:27.760the UBC faculty of medicine has no problem with that. No problem whatsoever. They haven't,
00:06:33.120haven't released a statement, haven't taken that video down. They apparently endorse this idea
00:06:37.940that that's how you treat your political enemies. This is fringe, crazy stuff, folks. And yet they're
00:06:44.200on the mainstream and they want to censor people like me, people like Francis Widdowson, people
00:06:49.620like you, people watching this video, they want it censored. They want it taken off the internet.
00:06:54.180And here, you know, just last night in the Senate, they were debating this very topic of resident, they call it residential school denialism. If you ask questions about the residential schools, if you question the narrative of the unmarked graves, given that, oh, I don't know, they've never found any graves, they've never found any remains or any bodies.
00:07:10.880but if you even question that narrative they will call you a denier they will apparently they want
00:07:16.480to take you into the basement and also they want it banned as hate speech here are senators in our
00:07:24.140government debating that bill c9 the one that passed a few weeks ago remember andrew lawton
00:07:27.720was standing up against it saying that they'd taken out the religious component well now they're
00:07:31.900talking about adding residential school denialism to that bill as hate speech a liberal senator says
00:07:38.900the bill's sponsor, sorry, says that there are some other bills in the work that will address
00:07:43.480this topic. So yes, it is coming, folks. Let's roll that clip. Will the First Nations be heard?
00:07:50.540They are suffering a lot of pressure with regard to the complete denial of the burial grounds of
00:08:00.160our ancestors who went through residential schools. There's also the Truth and Reconciliation
00:08:05.400committee commission that was created by the government and also the inquiry on missing and
00:08:10.120murdered indigenous women and girls so all of these exercises have taken place in this democracy
00:08:15.800but there is still very powerful denial so can you ensure me that if there are amendments proposed by
00:08:21.000first nations there will be an openness to it to really believe what is happening to them thank you
00:08:40.260Bill in that other place looking at residential school denialism.
00:08:43.560So absolutely, he says, they will crack down on this supposed hate that people have.
00:08:49.700It's hateful, folks, to ask questions and want facts and want the truth.
00:08:54.820If you care about the truth, that means that you have hate in your heart according to these
00:08:59.040liberals and according to our lawmakers. It's time to modernize Canada's rules on nicotine.
00:09:04.820Alternatives to cigarettes like heated tobacco, vaping products, and oral smokeless products
00:09:09.620don't burn tobacco or produce smoke. Now, they aren't risk-free, but the growing body of
00:09:15.700scientific evidence shows that they have the potential to be substantially less harmful
00:09:20.700than smoking cigarettes. Now, despite this, Canadians are banned from accessing this critical
00:09:27.180information and sometimes even banned from the products. Nicotine pouches remain banned in
00:09:32.580convenience stores across the country and current laws ban communication about the risk of these
00:09:38.580products compared to cigarettes. It's absolutely ridiculous. The evidence is here. The tools exist.0.95
00:09:44.880Canadians deserve to have the freedom to know about them, to learn about them, to even just
00:09:49.560understand them. It's a free country. We should be able to have this information. So learn more
00:09:55.380about this campaign and our friends over at Unsmoke by visiting their website, unsmoke.ca.
00:10:01.900And thank you so much to Unsmoke for sponsoring this episode. Okay, let's bring on Kian Bexy. I
00:10:07.060want to hear what he has to say on all of this. So folks, welcome Kian Bexy, co-founder of Juno
00:10:11.620News. Hey, Kian, how are you doing? Hey, good, Candice. How are you? Well, I don't know. I feel
00:10:16.480like the country is a lot less free than it was last time I spoke to you. And I mean, this majority0.99
00:10:21.440government is really, it's unbelievable how we got here after holding them to a minority last April.
00:10:27.880What do you make of it all, Kian? Yeah, when you go to vote, nobody checks,1.00
00:10:35.240puts an X beside the person that they think, you know, is an upstanding community member. That's
00:10:40.880just not how people go to the ballot box. They vote based on the party that that person was
00:10:46.040selected by. That is like close to 100% of the people that go to a ballot box. So when Mark
00:10:52.800Carney pulls someone across the aisle with his offers of international trips and funding for
00:11:03.220local ridings, you know, if that was good money to be spent in Sarnia, why wasn't that being done
00:11:09.640before Marilyn Gladue crossed the floor instead of after? It's clearly a bribe. It's actually1.00
00:11:14.460against, it's against the code of conduct of member of parliaments to members of parliament
00:11:23.080to accept offers of office or finance or any sort of personal benefit in exchange for their
00:11:30.880conduct in the House. And Marilyn Gladue, along with, you know, every other MP that has crossed
00:11:35.200the floor has clearly violated that. It's pretty despicable. It's a sad state of affairs in Canada.1.00
00:11:39.760But, you know, luckily, we have Time magazine in the United States talking about how Mark Carney is a George Clooney.
00:11:47.320Where would we be without American media like the Stephen Colbert and The Late Show and all these very large, very large outlets that Mark Carney relies on to prop up his brand?
00:12:02.200He doesn't even, you know, he blows a billion and a half on the CBC, but he doesn't even use them as the primary propaganda tools that prop up his brand.
00:12:12.700He goes to the United States time after time to use these outlets to talk about how, you know, how pretty he is or how great of a liberal candidate he would be when he launched his campaign for the leadership of the Liberal Party on the late show in the United States.
00:12:27.960uh it's it's just a really i i'm more black pilled on canada than i've ever been this is just it's
00:12:35.800it's tough it's tough it is tough well i saw a viral sort of i don't know meme or something
00:12:41.820and it was mark carney ripping on the united states and talking about how canada doesn't
00:12:45.600need them anymore and meanwhile it's like you know his daughters live in the united states
00:12:49.520his business is based in the united states apparently i don't know if it's true or not
00:12:52.880but someone's saying his wife lives in the united states like he spent part of his life living like
00:12:56.960Canada is entirely dependent on the American economy to function. They're a trade partner,
00:13:02.180they're our allies. Prime ministers and presidents come and go, but your neighbors are always there,
00:13:06.860right? And we have this history, we have this relationship with the Americans, and yet we have
00:13:11.400this entire political movement based on just ripping our friend and ally for political gain.
00:13:18.920There was a piece in the Sarnia Observer that was really wild, right? So it was a Q&A with
00:13:25.220marilyn gladu who as you know folks she crossed the floor from the conservatives one of the more
00:13:29.700like like right-wing conservative members of the conservative caucus pro-life anti-transing all of
00:13:36.260the things and yet she happily goes over to the liberals the sarni observer asked her what rewards
00:13:41.220if any were you expecting for crossing to the liberals you can't bribe someone to cross the
00:13:45.780floor that is against the law that is you cannot bribe somebody to do this you can't bribe them
00:13:50.660for political gain and yet gladu explicitly said that she had sent minister housing minister
00:13:56.260gregor robertson when she was re-elected 2025 a one-page report on all the things that she wanted
00:14:02.820in sarnia and it got nowhere and then as soon as she crossed the floor lo and behold he's taking
00:14:09.300her call and he's more interested in what she has to say i mean does that really paint a picture
00:14:14.740of a functioning democracy a legal framework for governance to you kian it's so unbelievable
00:14:21.940she explicitly said at the liberal party convention to in her first press conference0.71
00:14:26.020that she had a lot to gain personally in crossing the floor she let that slip after
00:14:31.140reporters asked her why she did it uh you know she said it's good for the riding it's good for
00:14:35.700the country and it's good for me personally uh pretty just it's just brazen well on their part
00:14:41.220it's pretty sad um but at the end of the day uh i don't think it actually matters i think that
00:14:48.740the ndp were going to prop this government up as long as they possibly could um they they didn't
00:14:54.420want to go to an election right away they didn't have the money um the but but what but what this
00:15:00.020is fundamentally is mark carney taking parliament and squeezing it in a parliament which is like
00:15:07.780open transparent it's recorded it's published there's hansard and he's squeezing it all down
00:15:13.940into a caucus room where it's against the rules to record where nobody on the outside knows what
00:15:20.660happens where the people on the inside can't go outside and talk about what they just discussed
00:15:24.580so they have stephen gilbo they have ndp floor crossers they have the most right-wing conservative
00:15:30.260that perhaps was in pierre's caucus and they're squeezing that all into the liberal caucus room
00:15:35.700where there's no one where where no one like you and i know reporters no no citizens nothing are
00:15:42.340allowed to know what happens in that room when everyone leaves there's caucus solidarity which
00:15:47.300basically means uh whatever happens in that room is how the country is going to be governed and
00:15:52.580nobody gets to ask any questions about it whatsoever uh it completely abolishes the
00:15:58.180functions of parliament and squeezes it into backroom deals uh and it's you know it's the
00:16:04.900The media is just eating it up, too. It's pathetic. They're acting like this is normal. This is great.1.00
00:16:08.900There's very few people in the mainstream media that are actually critical of these floor crossings.
00:16:14.480They're just thrilled that there's now liberal stability and the status quo of Justin Trudeau's last majority has been renewed.
00:16:22.340You know, they're happy that Stephen Gilboa is back, able to make decisions in caucus with the respect of his colleagues.
00:16:28.620The fact that Marilyn Gladue is in the same caucus as these buffoons is just, it's a condemnation of our society.
00:16:36.380I couldn't agree more, Kian. It's an absolute farce.0.97
00:16:40.500And the idea, you know, journalists and these elites, these fancy people in the legacy media, they pretend to care about democracy.
00:16:46.400They pretend to care about our institutions and this trust, but they don't.
00:16:50.780At the end of the day, all they care about is liberal stability, just like you said,
00:16:55.560a liberal majority government giving them all the things that they want, making them feel good
00:16:59.240about their country. They actually love it when Time Magazine and the New York Times
00:17:03.560and Rolling Stone write these ridiculous puff pieces about earlier. It makes them feel good0.77
00:17:07.780about themselves, even though at the same time they pretend to be anti-American and opposed to
00:17:12.240whatever's happening in the U.S. But at the end of the day, they love the validation of that. They
00:17:15.740don't care about the health of our system whatsoever. Okay, Kian, I want to talk about0.99
00:17:20.660a whole bunch of sort of juicy insider stuff happening at Juno News, including we had our
00:17:26.100most viral video in the history of our company. I think this thing got 150 million views. We're
00:17:31.840going to talk about that clip. We're going to talk about the behind the scenes of what happened
00:17:35.520at the Juno News debate. Can you organize a fantastic debate out there in British Columbia?
00:17:39.740But there was a lot of juicy sort of gossip and things that were happening the couple of days
00:17:44.460leading up to that event, including the sort of front rudder Caroline Elliott pulling out at the
00:17:49.140last minute and all of the details of your spat and back and forth with her campaign team and the
00:17:54.780premier of that province made unbelievably defamatory comments about Juno News. I'm not
00:18:00.260going to repeat them because I think that what he said was incredibly wrong. We're going to talk
00:18:04.720about our legal options with regard to what he said. We're going to do all of that, folks,
00:18:09.700behind the Juno News paywall. So if you want to join us, if you want to come along for this ride
00:18:15.040and want to support independent media in this country,
