00:00:00.000 did you know that canada is currently under attack right now that wealthy foreign interests
00:00:11.520 have banded together to wage war on canadian democracy well i didn't know either until
00:00:17.200 yesterday when our nation's leader told all of canada from a grocery store that canada is in
00:00:23.120 fact on a war footing in the fight to save democracy if you're anything like me you now
00:00:28.640 have two questions the first question would be who exactly are these wealthy foreign belligerents
00:00:34.400 waging war on our great nation and the second question would be is this the man leading us
00:00:39.440 into battle is this the winston churchill of our time to answer the second question first
00:00:44.880 the answer is unfortunately yes and to answer the first question well these wealthy foreign
00:00:50.960 belligerents happen to be those evil nasty tech giants google and meta you know those exact same
00:00:57.200 tech companies that worked hand in hand with the canadian government during the pandemic
00:01:01.120 to censor accurate information while the comrades in the fight against truth have now turned on each
00:01:08.000 other because justin trudeau's insatiable appetite to censor the internet to crush independent digital
00:01:15.040 media and stuff the pockets of failing legacy media outlets in exchange for positive headlines
00:01:21.360 is simply unmatched and according to canada's newest wartime prime minister the fight against meta is
00:01:28.240 comparable to canada's fight against germany in world war ii they made the wrong choice
00:01:35.680 by deciding to attack canada we want to defend democracy this is what we're doing across the world
00:01:42.560 such as supporting ukraine this is what we've done during the second world war this is what we're doing
00:01:49.040 every single day in the united nations and i know that canadians will not be bullied
00:01:57.600 by billionaires in the us billionaires that are impacting negatively our democracy we will have a
00:02:08.080 strong stance with that we're not alone if canada's fight against facebook in the so-called war for
00:02:14.400 democracy really is comparable to canada's fight against germany in world war ii am i the only one
00:02:21.360 questioning what side exactly justin trudeau is on let me know in the comments drop a like in the video
00:02:27.280 help us out by subscribing to the true north youtube channel stick around for the ratio of the weak prize
00:02:32.880 and the comment question for the episode is this how will you access news now that links will be
00:02:38.800 disappearing on google and facebook let me know in the comments and let's get into it bill c18 what
00:02:45.520 exactly is the online news act well simply put bill c18 is a bill that will force google and meta to pay
00:02:55.360 news companies every time a link to a story is posted on google or meta c18 is the second piece of
00:03:05.120 censorship legislation in justin trudeau's censorship trifecta to be passed and become official law c11
00:03:13.920 as you're well aware became law a few months ago bill c11 forces companies like google to suppress
00:03:20.160 content that the government deems to be not sufficiently canadian enough and promote of course trusted canadian
00:03:27.360 content that obviously means content that is in line with the federal government's vision ultimately
00:03:33.360 content that is not deemed canadian enough would be content like what you're watching right now a show
00:03:39.280 like ratio bill c18 on the other hand has a different effect bill c18 is essentially a money grab with
00:03:47.200 a censorship layer hidden underneath c18 is just another attempt to stuff the pockets of failing legacy
00:03:54.480 media outlets which routinely write positive headlines for the government we already know that newspapers like
00:04:00.560 the national post the toronto star and all of their failing subsidiaries receive government
00:04:06.080 bailouts to the tune of in some cases tens of millions of taxpayer dollars but of course that just
00:04:12.160 simply isn't enough for these failing legacy media companies to be able to turn a profit on top of
00:04:18.400 sending our taxpayer dollars of which we are taxed far too much already to these companies the federal
00:04:24.560 government devised a strategy to get google and facebook to pay these companies and just like the
00:04:30.640 passage of bill c11 this federal government that apparently stands proudly for the values of democracy
00:04:38.640 rammed through bill c18 and forcefully shut down debate in fact in the middle of an mp debating the bill
00:04:47.120 the federal government interrupted him and rammed the bill through the house of commons and forced
00:04:51.840 it through the senate now the censorship angle of bill c18 is quite simple the government has known
00:04:56.960 for months if not years that passing a bill like this would result in facebook and google either
00:05:03.600 completely blocking news links on their platforms or heavily restricting access to news on both of these
00:05:11.200 platforms this only benefits established legacy media news outlets news outlets that don't have to rely
00:05:19.440 on generating ad revenue and site traffic news outlets like the cbc like the national post and like
00:05:26.560 the toronto star meanwhile digital media outlets outlets like true north rely exclusively on social
00:05:34.880 outreach on email outreach and social media platforms to share our work the government isn't stupid they
00:05:41.760 know this they've known this for a long time and as organizations like true north have grown to become a
00:05:47.280 larger problem for the sitting government they have now amped up their efforts to destroy digital media
00:05:54.800 in canada and it's not just a hypothesis that c18 will only benefit large broadcasters the ones that are
00:06:01.840 already heavily subsidized it's written so plainly in the parliamentary budget officer's report from last
00:06:08.400 year from the globe and mail last october the analysis by the pbo an independent body that provides economic
00:06:16.240 and financial analysis to mps and senators concluded that newspapers and online media would get 81 and
00:06:23.360 a half million dollars a year while broadcasters such as the cbc bell shaw and rogers stand to get 247
00:06:33.200 million 677 000 if the bill becomes law the government has known this for months they've also known that
00:06:42.320 facebook will be pulling links from their platform but that didn't stop them at all in fact it only
00:06:48.880 seems to have turbocharged the federal government's push to make c18 law why well it's exactly what they
00:06:55.760 want and despite knowing all of this for months if not years canada's el sensor juan pablo rodriguez
00:07:03.760 has been going on cnn and other foreign media outlets talking about how canada is standing up for
00:07:10.560 democracy and local news without this bill those web giants would not make um deals or with with
00:07:19.600 platform so it's absolutely necessary to move forward because in canada about 500 newsroom
00:07:24.400 closed their doors in in the last few years big or small in cities or rural communities uh and it's it's
00:07:30.720 a huge problem for for our democracy the most ironic part about bill c18 has to be the fact that while
00:07:36.800 justin trudeau accuses meta of attacking canadian democracy to levels comparable to that of our fight
00:07:44.560 against germany in world war ii the liberal party of canada is running ads on the platform as michael
00:07:53.520 geist the media law professor at the university of ottawa rightly points out on his blog if it were
00:07:58.720 truly comparable to a world war then surely the liberal party joined by the ndp would not continue to
00:08:04.720 advertise on the platform yet since the 2021 election the party alone has run approximately
00:08:11.040 11 000 ads on facebook and instagram ads like this one which are currently active on meta and were
00:08:18.880 launched not too long ago despite rodriguez trying to sound tough and claim that the government of canada
00:08:32.320 has pulled ads on meta well the liberal party has no problem working with meta despite the fact that
00:08:38.720 their own leader has accused them of attacking canadian democracy the final piece of legislation
00:08:46.720 that will complete the censorship trifecta for justin trudeau is the yet to be reintroduced online
00:08:54.080 harms bill the government plans to introduce amendments to the criminal code which will make posting
00:08:59.680 what the government determines to be hate speech illegal now you don't need to be a genius to
00:09:04.400 figure out exactly how the government plans to use a piece of legislation like that to control
00:09:09.760 conversations online in fact just look at what happens to our friends in the united kingdom if they
