00:00:00.000 Far-right, racist, extremist ideologues, and that's exactly who Diagalon is. 0.56
00:00:05.580 And the Diagalon thing, when I talk about extremists, it's the Diagalon flag that we're pointing to. 0.93
00:00:11.300 The leader of the opposition refuses to say a simple thing, that he condemns Diagalon because they are a white, nationalist, violent organization. 0.77
00:00:22.180 When will we put an end to this wacko policy by this wacko prime minister? 0.96
00:00:26.500 No, no, no.
00:00:28.020 I order you to withdraw from the House and for many participation.
00:00:38.300 With the writing well and truly on the wall for Justin Trudeau and his gang of MPs,
00:00:43.920 the Liberals, as a last gasp attempt to try to save themselves,
00:00:47.640 deployed the boogeyman of Diagalon once again with the help of the legacy media
00:00:51.600 to try to scare Canadians into thinking that somehow,
00:00:54.340 Pierre Polyev, deep down, is actually a racist and far-right politician.
00:00:59.840 I mean, I wonder why those attacks just don't seem to be sticking.
00:01:06.620 For those of you who have been following Canadian politics closely over the past few years,
00:01:18.620 this will not be a new tactic to you.
00:01:21.100 You've seen this one before.
00:01:22.660 The legacy media seem to be, dare I say it, obsessed with this fictional meme group named Diagalon.
00:01:29.420 They are begging you to care about this group as much as they do.
00:01:32.160 They want you to be scared of this group.
00:01:33.840 Now, they won't actually tell you why you should be scared of this group.
00:01:37.300 They just assume that if it comes from the mouth of a CBC journalist or a liberal politician,
00:01:41.900 you will just take it as gospel.
00:01:43.640 In fact, to nobody's surprise, none of these attacks have actually worked against Pierre Polyev.
00:01:49.200 People just don't actually care about a fictional meme group.
00:01:52.200 I can't believe it, I know.
00:01:53.460 What people actually care about is having money in their pockets to feed their families,
00:01:57.840 having enough money to one day buy a home,
00:02:00.400 and to not be swarmed by waves of mass immigration.
00:02:03.680 Accordingly, since the liberals have deployed the boogeyman of Diagalon,
00:02:07.720 Pierre Polyev's performance in the polls has actually increased.
00:02:10.940 Before we get into the show, drop a like in the video,
00:02:13.480 help us out by subscribing to the True North YouTube channel,
00:02:15.800 stick around for the ratio of the week,
00:02:17.520 and the comment question for the episode is this.
00:02:20.760 What will be the next liberal attack against Pierre Polyev?
00:02:24.440 Let me know your answer in the comments below, and let's get into it.
00:02:27.160 All of this started just seven or eight days ago,
00:02:29.880 when Pierre Polyev was filmed walking out of an RV at a carbon tax protest,
00:02:35.080 and in the video, you can see a tiny, tiny little Diagalon flag on the door.
00:02:40.940 Immediately, because of this, the liberals and the legacy media assumed that Pierre Polyev
00:02:46.120 was somehow a quiet supporter of a dangerous far-right Diagalon group.
00:02:52.060 That one picture has triggered days of debate in the House of Commons,
00:02:56.720 trying to make the argument that somehow Pierre Polyev and the Conservative Party
00:03:00.100 are cozy with dangerous racists.
00:03:03.440 It has triggered days of commentary on CBC News and op-eds in the Toronto Star.
00:03:09.500 Now, here is a sample of what liberal MPs have been saying about Pierre Polyev
00:03:13.140 in the House of Commons over this picture.
00:03:15.880 The leader of the opposition refuses to say a simple thing,
00:03:20.040 that he condemns Diagalon because they are a white nationalist violent organization,
00:03:26.520 that he rejects the endorsement of Alex Jones, an extremist conspiracy theorist
00:03:31.980 who denied the deaths of 20 kids at Standyhook.
00:03:35.700 These are things that concern Canadians that he should also answer for.
00:03:38.980 For some really hard-hitting and in-depth political analysis,
00:03:43.440 take a look at what our best friends over at the CBC had to say
00:03:46.980 about Pierre Polyev's obvious connections with Diagalon,
00:03:51.160 including our friends Althea Raj, Rosemary Barton,
00:03:54.920 and the anti-social yob guy, Andrew Coyne.
00:03:57.580 The voters should not be put in the position of having to wonder
00:03:59.940 whether the next Prime Minister of Canada is a mainstream, you know,
00:04:05.200 normal politician or somebody who hangs out with extremists.
00:04:08.840 And the Diagalon thing, when I talk about extremists,
00:04:11.960 it's the Diagalon flag that we're pointing to.
00:04:14.440 Whether he saw it or knew it was there is, I think, a different question.
00:04:17.040 And you should be very careful about where you go
00:04:19.500 and what symbols might be there and who you're associating with
00:04:22.340 if you don't know who these people are.
00:04:24.100 Now, the best response to this CBC panel discussion over Diagalon
00:04:28.400 with our best friends here came from John Kay, who wrote this,
00:04:32.000 the number of people on this panel exceeds the membership of Diagalon.
00:04:35.980 Right, because the membership of Diagalon is about zero, as it's a fake group.
00:04:41.000 Speaking of Althea Raj and the Toronto Star,
00:04:43.860 she has had quite the week herself.
00:04:46.320 Stick around for the ratio of the week to see what happens there.
00:04:50.920 But I also want to bring your attention to this op-ed she wrote in the Toronto Star
00:04:54.100 about the dangerous Diagalon picture.
00:04:56.640 She was so scared and so hurt.
00:04:59.280 I can only imagine what she's been going through,
00:05:01.420 how she's been coping with this awful picture of Pierre Polyev
00:05:04.520 and that tiny little Diagalon flag.
00:05:06.520 Pierre Polyev is courting support from groups that spew hate.
00:05:09.760 Is this really the alternative to Justin Trudeau we want?
00:05:13.040 There is no doubt that many Canadians are tired of the Liberal government,
00:05:16.500 but surely we can do better than what the Conservative leader is offering, Althea Raj writes.
00:05:21.340 Oh, but don't worry, it doesn't stop there with the Toronto Star.
00:05:23.700 Take a look at this one they also published after Althea Raj's far-left screed.
00:05:28.460 Polyev flirts with far-right while media looks away.
00:05:31.600 Probing Polyev's winking flirtation with fringe-right groups
00:05:35.500 could provide us with crucial information that Conservative strategists are working hard to keep under wraps. 0.96
00:05:41.260 And Pierre Polyev already denounced Diagalon as a group of dirtbags and losers 0.90
00:05:46.060 after Jeremy McKenzie and his friends on a podcast made jokes about sexually assaulting Pierre Polyev's wife. 0.95
00:05:52.420 I guess that's not enough for Justin Trudeau and the Liberal media.
00:05:55.680 If the argument being made here is that because Pierre Polyev was spotted walking past a flag of Diagalon
00:06:02.740 that he is now cozying up to the far right,
00:06:06.140 wouldn't this picture of Justin Trudeau taking a selfie with someone wearing the Diagalon flag on her lapel
00:06:12.600 prove that Justin Trudeau is cozying up to the far right? 0.96
00:06:16.400 Expecting equal treatment in the legacy media is foolish, of course,
00:06:19.880 but I think it's worth pointing out that since the evidence here seems to be exactly the same on both sides,
00:06:25.400 maybe someone should make the case that Justin Trudeau is actually cozying up to the far right. 0.99
00:06:30.220 See, nobody will actually do that, though, because it is a stupid argument to make. 0.89
00:06:33.940 The only reason they're trying it on with Pierre Polyev is, of course, 0.96
00:06:36.840 one, because he's a Conservative,
00:06:38.520 and two, because he's beating Justin Trudeau and the Liberals so badly
00:06:43.180 that the Liberals are looking at record defeats here.
00:06:46.600 In fact, take a look at the latest reporting that was just released
00:06:49.920 since the Liberals have deployed their boogeyman of Diagalon.
00:06:53.440 It's not working. It's getting worse for the Liberals and better for Pierre Polyev.
00:06:58.560 Now, one of the most ridiculous attacks against Pierre Polyev over this Diagalon story
00:07:03.580 came from Liberal MP Adam Vancouverden, 0.69
00:07:06.860 who said that Diagalon is a registered terrorist organization,
00:07:12.260 which is a complete lie, which is not true in Canada.
00:07:16.580 But they don't really care about that, you see.
00:07:18.160 If the legacy media is going to do this work for them,
00:07:21.320 they can lie with impunity and nothing is going to happen.
00:07:24.680 Listen to this.
00:07:25.660 I don't think it's too much to ask a leader of an official party in Canada
00:07:29.640 to denounce far-right extremism
00:07:31.640 and a group who has been identified by Canadian security and intelligence
00:07:35.240 as a terrorism organization.
00:07:37.500 Not only is the fictitious meme group Diagalon
00:07:40.220 not a registered terrorist organization like Adam Vancouverden just told us,
00:07:45.380 Diagalon, according to investigative reporting by Kareem Assad in Hategate,
00:07:49.840 a link to that you can find in the description of this video,
00:07:52.660 Diagalon, according to the standards of the Canadian Security and Intelligence Services,
00:07:57.480 does not even meet the definition of a group.
00:08:00.380 Regardless of that, Justin Trudeau and his government
00:08:04.140 willingly and knowingly used open-source intelligence
00:08:07.820 gathered by the Canadian Anti-Hate Network,
00:08:10.280 a group which they funded,
00:08:11.980 which said that Diagalon was present at the Freedom Convoy
00:08:15.160 and was a dangerous group that potentially held weapons,
00:08:18.480 to justify invoking the Emergencies Act.
00:08:21.520 They used fake intelligence about a fake meme group
00:08:26.300 to justify invoking the Emergencies Act and strip away your freedoms.
00:08:31.060 Now, the legacy media,
00:08:32.320 who now have no problem using this fake group
00:08:35.000 to attack conservatives and Pierre Polyev over,
00:08:37.900 at the time had no interest in investigating the federal government
00:08:41.160 over their handling of fake intelligence about this group
00:08:44.700 to justify invoking the Emergencies Act.
00:08:47.360 Shockingly, even after a federal judge
00:08:50.420 found the invocation of the Emergencies Act to be unconstitutional.
00:08:54.920 Still, the legacy media had no interest
00:08:57.780 and seems to have no interest
00:08:59.320 in getting to the bottom of the intelligence
00:09:02.100 used to justify the Emergencies Act.
00:09:04.380 I'm talking about this, of course,
00:09:06.060 because this fake meme group,
00:09:09.000 which is really a fan club for a Canadian veteran
00:09:11.920 and podcaster, Jeremy McKenzie,
00:09:14.060 was at the center of the Emergencies Act.
00:09:16.100 And they are now at the center of this latest attack.
00:09:18.520 In fact, this Diagalon story got so completely out of control
00:09:21.660 that Jeremy McKenzie took time out of battling
00:09:24.700 yet another trumped-up political trial against him,
00:09:28.060 made a statement about what's been going on.
00:09:30.380 There is no connection between Pierre Polyev
00:09:32.360 or anyone in the Conservative Party and this group.
00:09:35.220 But you have to check this out.
00:09:36.860 The Liberal Party took a clip of a podcast
00:09:39.480 that Jeremy McKenzie and his friends were on
00:09:41.760 and have essentially used it as a campaign ad
00:09:44.600 against Pierre Polyev.
00:09:45.800 So here you have Ferryman and Derek Rance
00:09:49.280 and Jeremy McKenzie on the Plaid Army podcast
00:09:51.500 talking about how Pierre Polyev is a weasel
00:09:54.780 and how you can essentially try to manipulate him
00:09:58.100 into appealing to the base,
00:09:59.700 something that he really ought to be doing, actually.
00:10:02.140 And this was what the Liberals really thought
00:10:04.060 was going to be able to sway people's opinions on this.
00:10:06.980 A clip of Conservative Canadians 0.82
00:10:09.320 saying that Pierre Polyev cannot afford
00:10:11.840 to abandon his base on a podcast
00:10:13.820 is the best the Liberals have.
00:10:15.980 In fact, they're even attacking Pierre Polyev
00:10:19.020 and somehow Canadians are supposed to think
00:10:20.800 that there's a grand conspiracy here
00:10:22.460 that Polyev and Diaglion are working together.
00:10:25.380 Look, the reality here is that the legacy media 1.00
00:10:27.900 and the Liberals think that we are stupid. 1.00
00:10:31.540 Besides these attacks being completely disingenuous 1.00
00:10:34.540 and built on lies,
00:10:36.360 these attacks are an insult to you. 1.00
00:10:39.760 They think that Canadians are stupid. 1.00
00:10:41.980 By routinely making these attacks and false statements, 1.00
00:10:45.320 all they're doing is actually building this group up more.
00:10:48.700 They're making this group appear bigger than they are,
00:10:50.920 appear more important than they are.
00:10:52.500 In my opinion,
00:10:53.440 and you should tell me if you think I'm wrong here,
00:10:55.620 they desperately want Diaglion to be a more important group
00:10:59.080 so they can continue to use it
00:11:00.720 to beat Conservatives into submission with.
00:11:03.300 They want Diaglion to be like the Proud Boys 1.00
00:11:05.760 in the United States
00:11:07.000 so they can use it to control Conservatives
00:11:09.260 and control Conservative voices.
00:11:11.260 Now, if that really is the objective
00:11:12.680 of the legacy media and the Liberal government,
00:11:15.200 what does that say about them
00:11:17.280 other than they care more about their own political success,
00:11:20.900 they care more about achieving electoral victory
00:11:23.420 than they do about the country in which they live?
00:11:26.000 All right, time for the Ratio of the Week.
00:11:27.440 We told you Althea Raj had quite a bad week herself,
00:11:30.600 and we're going to finish it off for her
00:11:32.340 by giving her the Ratio of the Week prize.
00:11:34.260 On Tuesday, the Speaker of the House of Commons, Greg Fergus,
00:11:38.900 kicked Pierre Polyev out of Parliament
00:11:40.600 after he described the Prime Minister as being wacko.
00:11:44.340 The legacy media had a field day
00:11:46.360 over these House of Commons theatrics.
00:11:48.660 Althea Raj, feeling as though she was witnessing
00:11:50.720 something truly historic,
00:11:52.380 had to write about it on social media.
00:11:54.720 We will remember this day in the history books, she writes.
00:11:58.380 Oh yeah, of course.
00:11:59.720 30 years from now, 40 years from now,
00:12:01.900 students will be learning about the day
00:12:03.800 when Pierre Polyev said wacko in the House of Commons
00:12:07.020 and the Speaker asked him to leave, question period.
00:12:09.960 What a big moment.
00:12:11.940 701 likes to 1.4 thousand replies here for Althea Raj.
00:12:17.360 It seems as though maybe Canadians aren't seeing
00:12:19.240 the same historical importance over this situation
00:12:21.760 as Althea Raj does. 0.50
00:12:23.980 What happened in the House today
00:12:25.340 was literally worse than 9-11, World War I,
00:12:28.560 World War II, and Pearl Harbor combined.
00:12:30.800 Only in Canada, a journalist this blatantly biased
00:12:34.680 would have a job in a major publication.
00:12:36.980 And I just loved this comment here.
00:12:38.840 I guess the check cleared then.
00:12:40.640 It does look that way, doesn't it?
00:12:42.320 Althea Raj really did earn her government money 1.00
00:12:44.700 this week for all of her hard work.
00:12:46.820 All right, everyone, that's going to do it for us
00:12:48.380 this week on the show.
00:12:49.440 Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:12:50.880 My name is Harrison Faulkner,
00:12:52.200 and this is Ratio.
00:12:53.620 We'll be вид investor.
00:13:09.940 Bye bye.
