Juno News - Keean Bexte joins Candice to discuss Ottawa’s investigation into Juno News’ reporting

00:00:00.000 I mean, this is totally unbelievable. And the fact that Mark Carney is presiding over this

00:00:04.900 government that is openly investigating journalists for the crime of reporting the news,

00:00:09.580 informing Canadians of the truth, and not receiving government subsidies, not being part

00:00:13.800 of the state-run media like the CBC, it is a scary situation, Kian. So what are the next steps? And

00:00:20.300 how can folks like listening, how can they help out? Yeah, well, so it's going to cost us tens

00:00:27.740 of thousands of dollars to litigate this and defend me personally. But as I said before,

00:00:32.560 this is not a fundraiser. I'm not trying to fundraise and profit off of this. I just want to

00:00:39.620 have these charges, have this investigation dropped. I don't want to go to jail. And I think

00:00:46.360 that the best way of doing that is by raising an army of people who are standing beside us,

00:00:52.420 telling the government that they will not stand for this, that you don't want to live in a country

00:00:56.620 where where our basic freedoms are steamrolled by the government and and people who are acting

00:01:06.740 in good faith to share the news during an election are are put in in jeopardy their lives are their

00:01:13.480 lives are put in jeopardy because of the job that they do we don't want to live in that country so

00:01:17.360 I want people to to read the story share the story write to their elected officials let them know

00:01:23.500 how outrageous this is. And, you know, they're coming after us because we are the largest

00:01:29.220 independent newsroom in the country. We don't sell out our news for some grant money that Mark

00:01:33.880 Carney is offering. You know, we just need we need people to join the fight with us and stand

00:01:41.100 beside us and let the government know that this is just deeply outrageous, morally wrong. And we're

00:01:46.740 not going to just let them get away with this. They can go to defendjuno.com to check out the

00:01:51.660 full story. And if they want to become a member to Juno News, which is the number one way to stand

00:01:56.860 beside us and help us actually fight this so that we can have the strength in numbers, that we can

00:02:02.280 push back and show to the government that no, we are an army of Canadians standing up saying no,

00:02:09.280 this is enough. We're not going to tolerate this. They can do that at defendjuno.com.
