Transcript
00:00:00.480
uh i did not call people who were unvaccinated names really because i'm pretty sure you have
00:00:17.200
welcome everyone to ratioed my name is harrison faulkner the hearings for the emergencies act
00:00:21.840
inquiry are finally over and after listening to the government's narrative crumble day by day
00:00:26.480
week after week i for one am not very confident that we're going to get anything from this commission
00:00:31.760
i'm pretty sure that the government is going to get let off the hook just like they do whenever
00:00:36.080
they commit an ethics violation now i was paying pretty close attention to these hearings and not
00:00:41.280
once did any witness provide any evidence to say that the freedom convoy reached the legal threshold
00:00:47.280
under section 2 of the cesus act required to invoke the emergencies act all we have heard is that the
00:00:52.320
emergencies act was helpful for the police not justified that the emergencies act was required
00:00:57.840
to repair canada's reputation as a trading partner not justified and then of course the finale the
00:01:02.800
grasping for straws narrative the one that they had to just rely on when everything else had fallen and
00:01:07.040
every other justification had crumbled was that they just decided to interpret the legislation
00:01:12.800
as they felt they they read the legislation they realized oh the text doesn't really align with what
00:01:17.280
we want to do which is to crush this protest we're just going to interpret it in our own way and then
00:01:22.000
we're just going to handle the process later once we once we crush this protest then we'll try and
00:01:26.160
come up with a way to spin our way out of this and on friday after a week of listening to justin
00:01:30.800
trudeau's illustrious cabinet try to spin themselves out of this constitutional mess we got justin trudeau
00:01:36.480
on the stand under oath now let me just say he dropped some pretty interesting quotes throughout his
00:01:40.880
testimony notably that he claims to have never insulted unvaccinated canadians he claims he never called
00:01:47.920
the unvaccinated names he does know that whenever he speaks he's talking to like 25 cameras right now
00:01:53.760
he claims he never insulted unvaccinated canadians but we've got his highlight reel we've got his best
00:01:58.560
hits coming up on this show and we're just going to see if if his testimony under oath stacks up with
00:02:04.480
the truth drop a like on the video help us out by subscribing to the true north youtube channel and
00:02:08.560
the comment question for the episode is this if you're not as much of a cynic as i am what do you think
00:02:13.520
will be in commissioner rouleau's final report do you think there's a possibility that the government
00:02:18.000
will be found unjustified in their decision to invoke the emergencies act do you think that that
00:02:22.080
decision may be found unjustified or are you like me and do you think that the entire process
00:02:27.840
is really a foregone conclusion that this is just yet another example of justin trudeau being let off the
00:02:32.640
hook all right let me know and let's get into it now you guys have all seen the highlights of what
00:02:36.240
has it been four or five weeks now of these emergency act hearings you've all seen the highlights of
00:02:40.240
law enforcement officials saying there were legal tools on the table you've all
00:02:43.440
seen the highlights of csus saying the freedom convoy did not reach the legal threshold required
00:02:48.160
to invoke the emergencies act you've all seen the highlights of every single law enforcement
00:02:52.320
official testifying that they did not ask the government to invoke the emergency act and you've
00:02:56.000
also seen the highlights of all these law enforcement groups on the ground during the
00:02:59.440
time of the freedom convoy saying they had a plan using existing laws to clear the protest you've all
00:03:04.400
seen that but what we're talking about today is justin trudeau's testimony on friday in front of the
00:03:09.360
emergencies act commission the final witness to testify in front of justice paul rouleau and the
00:03:14.480
emergencies act commission and honestly where do you even begin i mean we're going to go through a
00:03:18.320
lot of what he said but the key takeaway for me at least was the fact that he could with a straight
00:03:24.560
face tell canadians that he did not insult unvaccinated canadians that he quote did not call
00:03:30.640
unvaccinated canadians names which in other words is insulting them which is insulting a large number of
00:03:36.320
canadians for a medical decision that they made now just listen to the answer that justin trudeau
00:03:40.560
gives to eva chipiak the convoy lawyer who cross-examined justin trudeau on friday a number of
00:03:46.240
people have testified in this inquiry referencing your widely published comments and calling the
00:03:52.240
unvaccinated racists and misogynists and we have heard testimony in this inquiry about how some of
00:03:59.200
your officials wanted to label protesters as terrorists would you agree with me that one of the most
1.00
00:04:05.360
important roles of a prime minister is to unite canadians and not divide them by engaging in name
00:04:10.080
calling uh i did not call people who were unvaccinated names so a couple things there the first
00:04:20.000
being of course uh i'm pretty sure you did call the unvaccinated names justin trudeau i'm pretty sure
00:04:24.880
you did do that and second of all what kind of answer to the question do you agree that the role of
00:04:29.760
the prime minister is to unite canadians and not divide canadians is that why can't you just say
00:04:35.280
yes wouldn't you agree that the role of the prime minister is to unite canadians if you say you didn't
00:04:40.400
call the unvaccinated names which you obviously did wouldn't you then have an easy answer to say
00:04:45.680
yes the role of the prime minister is to unite canadians i guess that's not the role of a prime
00:04:49.440
minister in justin trudeau's eyes now justin trudeau there he says he did not call the unvaccinated
00:04:54.880
names of course he didn't call them names other than you know racist and misogynist yes there is
00:05:01.040
a small fringe element in this country that is angry that doesn't believe in science
00:05:13.200
that is lashing out with racist misogynistic attacks
00:05:19.040
but canadians the vast majority of canadians are not represented by them and there's this clip too
00:05:30.160
perhaps the most infamous line of justin trudeau's premiership of canada when he first broke out the
00:05:34.720
label of small fringe minority and he tacked on the little unacceptable views part as well remember this
00:05:39.680
the small fringe minority of people who are on their way to ottawa or who are holding unacceptable
0.98
00:05:51.120
views that they're expressing do not represent the views of canadians who have been there for each
00:06:00.320
other who know that following the science and stepping up to protect each other is the best way to continue to
00:06:09.040
ensure our freedoms our rights our values as a country and there was this famous clip in the
00:06:14.480
2021 election when he said you know you can be unvaccinated you can be one of those racist
0.57
00:06:19.120
misogynist unvaccinated types but you don't get to sit beside a vaccinated person on a plane you dirty
00:06:24.400
unvaccinated person you don't get to dirty up the clean vaccinated person on a plane or a train
0.97
00:06:30.080
and put them at risk remember this famous act of othering the population you deserve better you
00:06:37.600
deserve a government that's going to continue to say get vaccinated and you know what if you don't
00:06:43.440
want to get vaccinated that's your choice but don't think you can get on a plane or a train
00:06:49.120
besides vaccinated people and put them at risk oh speaking of uniting canadians speaking of being a
00:06:54.400
great nation builder remember when he said that actually uniting canadians was wrong uniting canadians
00:07:00.480
was incompatible with science trying to bring people together
00:07:07.600
is not always compatible with science with respect for human rights with the best way to move things
00:07:16.800
forward i mean when erin o'toole talks about oh yes we need to unite people we need to bring people
00:07:21.520
together he's talking about defending the rights of people who are anti-facts and then there's the famous
00:07:29.520
september 2021 french language interview in which justin trudeau decided to let the veil drop a
00:07:34.640
little bit and decided to tell canadians what he really thinks of the unvaccinated
00:07:39.120
for the vaccination and we know all those people who are trying to hesitate a little bit on
00:07:45.440
continue to convince us but there are also people who are far away opposed to the vaccination who are
00:07:50.880
extremists who don't believe in science who are often misogyny who are often racist
00:07:55.840
also it's a small group but who takes place and there it is to make a choice as a leader in
00:08:03.840
country est-ce qu'on est-ce qu'on tolère ces gens-là ou est-ce qu'on dit ben voyons la plupart des gens
00:08:10.160
presque 80% des québécois ont fait ce qu'ils allaient faire se sont fait vacciner on veut revenir
00:08:15.040
à aux choses qu'on aime faire c'est pas ces gens-là qui vont nous bloquer maintenant
00:08:19.680
after saying he doesn't call the unvaccinated names he then said that oh you know i really wish i
00:08:24.880
could have just convinced more canadians to get vaccinated and every heartbreaking story i hear of a
00:08:31.040
family who sat beside the bed of a loved one dying because they had believed that the vaccines
00:08:39.520
were more dangerous than the disease i take personally because i wish i could have done more
00:08:50.800
and i don't convince people to get vaccinated so besides justin trudeau saying with a straight face
00:08:56.320
that he didn't insult unvaccinated canadians and then besides saying with a straight face that he
00:09:00.800
wished he could have done more to convince more canadians to get vaccinated he then said in
00:09:04.560
the commission i kid you not that the invocation of the emergencies act did not suspend your
00:09:10.000
fundamental rights and freedoms what i heard on the contrary uh was uh concerns that we'd shared that
00:09:17.840
this might inflame the protesters to declare a public order emergency and bring in martial law um which
00:09:25.760
was one of the concerns or that they they would interpret it as that of course it wasn't martial
00:09:30.480
law and it did not suspend people's fundamental rights and freedoms it wasn't martial law it didn't
00:09:35.520
suspend your fundamental rights and freedoms other than the right to protest the government other than
00:09:39.760
the right to donate to a political cause you know other than that it wasn't martial law so what are
00:09:44.400
you complaining about what are you complaining about unvaccinated canadian that's justin trudeau's
00:09:48.880
thinking when he answers a question like that you know it wasn't it wasn't martial law it didn't
00:09:53.360
suspend your fundamental rights and freedoms no it didn't spend his it didn't suspend his
00:09:56.880
government's it suspended our rights and freedoms our right to protest the government our right to
00:10:02.480
donate to a political cause and then there was another answer that justin trudeau gave which
00:10:06.080
really peeled the curtain back on the way justin trudeau thinks about your right our right to protest
00:10:11.440
the government you see we know justin trudeau loves to protest he loves to protest for certain
00:10:16.160
causes he loves to take the knee for blm he loves to lower canada's flags across the nation for
00:10:21.040
six months in a national state of mourning but you want the right to do your job without a mandate
00:10:25.120
being imposed on you you want the right to be able to go and see your dying parents or grandparents in
00:10:30.320
a long-term care center without being forced to show your papers you want the right to protest for
00:10:34.960
policy changes which is kind of the whole idea of protest well that's actually not allowed in
00:10:40.400
justin trudeau's eyes let's see this clip i think we we have a robust functioning democracy and
00:10:47.600
uh protests public protests are an important part of making sure we're getting messages out there
00:10:54.160
and canadians are getting messages out there and highlighting how they feel about various issues
00:10:58.320
uh but using protests to demand uh changes to public policy um is something that that i think is is is
00:11:09.280
worrisome okay so in justin trudeau's robust and functioning democracy by the way can't you guys just
00:11:15.200
feel how how functioning our democracy is these days it feels so strong it feels so robust and
00:11:20.480
functional as justin trudeau says well in justin trudeau's robust and functional democracy the right
00:11:26.080
to protest for policy change for changes in government policy well that's kind of worrisome
00:11:31.920
it's kind of worrisome when you guys are trying to speak up and trying to demand changes to your
00:11:35.920
government policy and then justin trudeau told the commission that you know as prime minister he has
00:11:40.240
to make the tough calls he's the one to have to make all those very tough decisions and all
00:11:44.400
those hand-picked appointees all those people that he chose himself to fill in the rules like the
00:11:48.560
clerk of the privy council like david vigno the director of cesus all those people that he chose
00:11:53.280
all told him that you know he should invoke the emergency act he should he should bring in the
00:11:56.560
horses he should freeze the bank accounts he should call in last resort measures they all said that to
00:12:01.600
him so he just did it that's why he did it and he's very confident that he made the right choice as
00:12:05.840
he says he's absolutely absolutely serene and confident that he made the right choice that he made the
00:12:11.360
right choice to crush the freedom convoy and to set the precedent for the emergencies act to be used
00:12:16.880
again he's absolutely absolutely serene and confident that he made the right choice i am
00:12:22.080
absolutely absolutely serene and confident um that i made the right choice in agreeing with the invocation
00:12:30.400
well look if i were justin trudeau i'd be pretty serene too i can't blame the guy after all the ethics
00:12:35.200
violations he's gotten away with after the fact that he has the legacy media literally in his pocket
00:12:40.000
after the fact that he has proven time and time again that basically nothing can stick to this guy
00:12:44.320
of course he's serene of course he's confident and don't forget jagmeet singh already said at the
00:12:48.160
beginning of the inquiry at the beginning of the hearings that if the government is found to have
00:12:52.480
you know unjustly invoked the emergencies act he's still going to keep his support for justin
00:12:57.040
trudeau he's not going to pull his support for the coalition agreement that they signed and that's
00:13:01.120
the real truth that we got to get to grips with with this situation the government have parliament in
00:13:04.960
their right palm and they have the legacy media in their left palm and their grip is real tight
00:13:09.200
all right everyone that's going to do it for us on the show thank you so much for tuning in
