00:00:00.000 happy friday canada welcome to fake news friday the show that keeps canada's failing fake and
00:00:17.680 always very biased legacy media in check my name is harrison faulkner filling in for andrew lawton
00:00:24.140 as the lead of the show today as the host of the show occupying the seat i usually sit in
00:00:29.520 is the very talented rupa supermania we've done this a few times so we're doing it again rupa it's
00:00:33.920 good to have you on the show it's great to be here with you harrison so it seems like another week goes
00:00:39.520 by and we're always talking about the cbc they they they seem to have this real commitment rupa
00:00:45.680 of making documentaries or programs that are kind of just rooted in hating canada or really you know
00:00:53.440 casting shade on this country and i want to show you this first this first story we found which is
00:00:59.520 just really perfect for this program and it's totally insane so it turns out that the cbc is
00:01:04.640 introducing a a new variety show on cbc gem you have to pay for this one because of course the money we
00:01:11.520 pay to the cbc isn't enough you have to pay about five dollars a month to access this show and when
00:01:17.040 i read it out to you maybe you'll start to think about other places you could probably put your five
00:01:21.600 dollars to that are far better than this because this is this is really something so there's a new
00:01:26.320 program out on the cbc called little tv and it's a variety show and i just want to read to you the
00:01:32.160 show description because it really just it really just kind of i think shows us all where the cbc is
00:01:38.480 at this current time so there's a new program it's called little tv and this is how the cbc describes it
00:01:43.600 little tv is a variety show with a mission to help people cope with life in a world that sometimes feels
00:01:48.960 like it's falling apart filled with hilarious sketches inspiring interviews immersive documentaries
00:01:53.200 surreal animations and puppets how fun at the center of it is our host lido pimienta the award-winning
00:01:59.920 colombian canadian musician artist and mother whose hilarious curious and tender personality drives
00:02:04.800 the action the series tackles themes ranging from feminism and privilege to colonialism and success
00:02:11.840 and features appearances by nelly frittado musicians shad and kitty writer sarah haggie nor black
00:02:18.800 nor white co-founder mariga capadia and artists jess sachesee and jessica curahanga so anyway it's gonna
00:02:28.480 be all about feminism rupa it's gonna be all about tackling the the privileges of colonialism and success
00:02:34.960 wow i'm just i'm just i'm just really chomping at the bit to get this little tv program well uh that's
00:02:42.560 that uh that's not me i i've seen i saw a clip uh someone shared a clip from the show i'm not quite
00:02:51.200 sure what to make of this except that i'm really angry that our tax dollars are uh put you know are
00:02:57.520 going towards funding this kind of thing um well for one thing the talking tomato totally creeped me out
00:03:05.520 um i thought it was a rock at first but then some but then it turns out it's a tomato which which which
00:03:11.440 talks to you about uh colonialism and uh racism and that sort of thing um but you know none none of this
00:03:20.000 should surprise us really right because this is very much in line with all of the uh woke nonsense that
00:03:26.960 the cbc has been promoting over the years and unfortunately these are our tax dollars uh funding this
00:03:34.080 uh i'm a little confused harrison because i thought this was a children's show but is it a variety
00:03:39.920 show it's a children's show it's a children's variety show i'm not quite sure who this is uh geared
00:03:45.440 towards because some people said this is not necessarily geared towards kids uh but you know
00:03:50.240 if this is geared towards kids obviously this is um a form of indoctrination look i i think kids should
00:03:57.040 be taught about colonialism the evils of colonialism uh there's no sensible person is going to deny
00:04:04.000 that you know colonialism was not was not was not good uh but and it had some uh bad uh you know
00:04:12.400 bad consequences for the people it colonized but i think we have to approach this very carefully when
00:04:17.680 it comes to teaching children this sort of thing um i think teaching history has to be balanced uh and
00:04:26.080 where i where i disagree is that you know we're in this constant state of self-flagellation when it comes to
00:04:31.440 our history uh where you know we're constantly blaming uh the white colonizer for everything
00:04:38.800 that's gone wrong with society and uh and that's not a good uh uh direction to go in so by all means
00:04:45.200 teach children about history and uh and colonialism and racism and so on and so forth but i don't agree
00:04:52.560 with the approach that uh the cbc is taking as far as this show is concerned no exactly and so you're
00:04:58.480 exactly right about this confusion when we first see it and we're gonna play that we're gonna play
00:05:02.560 this this trailer for you because you really have to see it for yourself when you first see it your
00:05:07.200 first instinct surely is of course this is a television this is a kid's show this is meant
00:05:11.120 for kids but nowhere in the show description does it say that it's just on the cbc gem streaming platform
00:05:17.200 so we're gonna play the trailer for you you tell us what you think first of all if you think this is
00:05:21.680 for kids okay this is what you probably think right you probably think it is for kids apparently it's not
00:05:26.880 check out this trailer this is where your tag stars are going guys this is where it's going check
00:05:31.120 this out hi and welcome hit it hey girl happy to be here good for you
00:05:48.400 uh uh what a beautiful day to talk about colonialism how does it feel to be responsible for night 11
00:06:09.840 on me we are giving your family's land back to the local anishinaabe people sounds like freedom to me
00:06:22.080 isn't it true that feminists don't like boys i think we're really gonna need this episode 1.00
00:06:29.600 i had to be this delicate flower when all i wanted to do was scream
00:06:34.000 you didn't give a yeah like my wife's indigenous grandmother always says 0.98
00:06:46.240 you're not ugly you're just poor you're not ugly you're just poor 0.99
00:06:51.360 you're not ugly you're just white you're not ugly you're just poor 0.92
00:06:56.800 where am i and rupa you bring up the whole point about the fact that our taxpayer dollars are going 0.71
00:07:05.120 to this and really many canadians shouldn't be happy about this but it gets even worse actually
00:07:09.520 because not only of course are our tax dollars going to these cbc programs which of course are
00:07:14.400 kind of rooted in canada bashing rooted in painting this country out to be some evil place but it gets
00:07:19.280 even worse this this production company little tv get this they actually received seventy thousand
00:07:27.440 dollars of taxpayer money from factor which i guess is uh uh which is part of the the government funding
00:07:34.480 they got seventy thousand dollars to i guess help promote these programs 25 000 of those seventy
00:07:40.960 thousand dollars is under the guise of emergency support so really the government clearly desperately
00:07:47.280 didn't want this uh little tv program to go under during covid so they they pump it up with taxpayer
00:07:52.400 money and then of course on comes the cbc to promote this program which is clearly rooted in
00:07:57.600 i guess canada bashing and before we move on it's probably worth also just pulling up the episode list
00:08:03.520 so if any of you guys i don't imagine you are but if any of you are planning to watch this program
00:08:07.680 on cbc gem remember it costs you extra money on top of it here are the episodes you can expect the
00:08:12.880 first one colonialism how great the next one beauty the next one after that hate and feminism privilege 1.00
00:08:20.560 and success i can only imagine rupa what that is all about it's just another classic cbc thing which
00:08:26.480 clearly doesn't deserve our taxpayer money but for some reason they keep getting it honestly harrison
00:08:31.280 i think your show or my show should get seventy thousand dollars exactly where's where's our where's
00:08:36.240 our end exactly well all of that comes from you guys of course but we don't we're unlike the cbc we
00:08:42.720 can't rely on taxpayer dollars we have to rely on donations well there's another story that comes
00:08:47.760 on there's another theme that we're constantly seeing it's about what is it really ever since
00:08:51.600 paulia have kind of bursted onto the scene of the cbc leadership what we've seen from legacy media
00:08:56.080 has been this this this commitment this real like they're they're very loyal at holding the opposition
00:09:02.080 leader uh at opposing the opposition leader rupa they're not very clear they're not really
00:09:06.240 determined it appears to hold the government to account especially now with pierre paulia as the
00:09:11.520 officially new the new leader the legacy media are committed to opposing him at all at all potential
00:09:18.000 stops right so here comes this national observer article which we found that we just thought really
00:09:22.480 deserved some attention on fake news friday this one was written by max faucet over the national
00:09:27.280 observer the headline reads investigation reveals paulia have populist and pro natural gas groups spread
00:09:33.440 fertilizer disinformation to whip up outrage against trudeau disinformation wherever you heard
00:09:38.240 that before rupa so in this article the national observer basically tries to say that not only is pierre
00:09:45.600 paulia promoting the this disinformation about the fertilizer reduction scheme which we know is true
00:09:50.560 which we know is the case apparently also groups like ontario proud the facebook group uh and us true north
00:09:58.720 rupa we are apparently pushing out disinformation regarding the fertilizer emissions reduction scheme
00:10:04.960 if this is not providing cover for the government if this is not providing cover for justin trudeau
00:10:09.680 then i don't know what is rupa well i um yeah absolutely i agree with you harrison uh but we know
00:10:16.560 this is a class classic tactic of the left um anybody who disagrees with them or anybody who criticizes the
00:10:23.360 trudeau government are agents of disinformation um and uh and you know and the and that they're not
00:10:30.480 worth listening to these are just classic smear tactics um and they refuse to engage with the arguments
00:10:38.880 because that's that's completely missing from the discourse right it's it's always jumping to label your
00:10:45.280 opponent as uh as as a bad person or or a racist or far right uh and none of this is helpful but uh
00:10:53.920 but then again we should expect this uh from from from these folks because this is this is this is
00:10:59.840 their mo this is their this is how they operate um but you know the unfortunate thing is that the real
00:11:07.680 issue is getting lost in all of this there's a real problem here do you really want to push these
00:11:11.760 uh issues in the context of an economy that is uh uh that is slowing down and inflation is on the rise
00:11:19.360 those are the real debates that we should be having uh but that's just a deflection right uh calling your
00:11:25.440 uh opponents names uh is just a deflection that's what it comes down to and i always struggle with this
00:11:32.880 concept of of these uh left-wing news outlets covering disinformation in my opinion if it's
00:11:40.160 disinformation and it's not true the last thing that these left-wing news outlets would want to do
00:11:45.040 is to amplify that disinformation to write a whole story about it instead of actually just telling us
00:11:50.080 what they appear what appears to them to be the truth about this if it is true uh that the fertilizer
00:11:55.840 emissions reduction scheme is not what we're making it out to be write a story about it but if you're
00:12:00.320 writing a story about the disinformation itself you're just amplifying it and then you're not
00:12:04.560 even actually doing your job of basically telling the truth it's very bizarre to me and i want to
00:12:08.960 pull in some of the the quotes from this article because again it just it makes me laugh all these
00:12:13.040 stories about you know disinformation rather than they're just amplifying the disinformation they write
00:12:17.600 here uh that 30 of the top performing posts were made by right-wing populist groups or media outlets
00:12:23.680 many with a track record of attacking the trudeau government oh like holding the government to
00:12:27.360 account route but maybe that makes me laugh it just it really does and then it goes on it writes
00:12:32.560 this list includes groups like ontario proud which hold itself out as a grassroots community
00:12:36.720 group but operates anonymously and is part of a family of similar pages linked to conservative
00:12:41.280 operatives and right-wing media outlets like true north and then it goes on to say at the end here
00:12:47.600 right-wing populism works by politicians finding groups that are allegedly victimized by those in power
00:12:52.960 and claiming to stand up for them politicians spreading inaccurate information about the fertile
00:12:56.800 federal fertilizer plan then saying they will stand up for farmers against it is emblematic of this
00:13:01.840 process how convenient right how convenient it's it's disinformation rupa for a conservative
00:13:07.360 politician to say they stand up with farmers and to criticize a trudeau policy again this is just
00:13:12.960 blatantly covering for covering for the government under the guise of what we're gonna are we really
00:13:17.440 gonna call this journalism it's crazy uh i wouldn't even call it forget journalism what is the analytical
00:13:24.400 component here like what why is it disinformation you know you just if you just keep saying disinformation
00:13:31.440 disinformation disinformation you're not really saying anything right it's just it's it's not really
00:13:36.720 saying anything to me it's not really helping me understand why this is disinformation so um i think
00:13:43.200 that piece itself is disinformation of course yeah exactly but again we're not we're not the ones
00:13:48.800 jumping out trying to highlight disinformation like these people are which i find just to be
00:13:53.680 you know using the word emblematic they use that word in their article this is to me as emblematic of
00:13:58.560 the problem we're seeing on the other side of the debate with these outlets that are basically writing
00:14:02.800 news stories about other news programs about outlets like us we talked about it last week on fake
00:14:07.280 news friday where once again true north was the subject of a story it's just it's a weird phenomenon
00:14:12.720 anyway sticking with pierre polyev this one came in on thursday so just yesterday and when i saw it
00:14:18.880 i couldn't believe it actually i thought it was a i thought it was a joke from a parody account turns
00:14:22.480 out it's a real global news story and this one is this one is a special one this is the headline
00:14:27.920 pierre polyev's youtube channel included hidden misogynistic tag to promote videos so in the story
00:14:36.400 this is how it works this is how the story is written pierre polyev's official youtube videos
00:14:41.200 included a hidden tag appealing to misogynistic online movements that canada's intelligence
00:14:45.760 agencies view as a danger a global news analysis of 50 of polyev's most recent youtube videos
00:14:51.600 showed that they included a tag hidden from viewers but not from the not from the video's publisher
00:14:56.320 used by a misogynistic online movement the tag hashtag mgtow is an acronym for men going their own way
00:15:04.160 a mostly online movement comprised of anti-feminists who attempt to cut women completely out of their lives
00:15:09.760 according to the southern poverty law center this movement overlapped with more aggressive
00:15:13.360 forms of male supremacy anyway essentially what goes on is that global news reached out to polyev's
00:15:19.040 campaign or polyev's team rather polyev uh distanced and denounced and separated himself from it and uh
00:15:25.280 and apologized for but i didn't really think that was the whole point to me is the fact that global news
00:15:31.120 really thinking they're doing hard they're doing hard cutting journalism here they're really doing their
00:15:34.720 their watergate special of deep diving over polyev's 50 last youtube videos to find a tag
00:15:42.320 a hashtag of a youtube video which i'm sure they probably put in 40 or 50 tags on each video
00:15:48.320 this one they found one and they're they're like hyper focusing in on it as though pierre polyev is is
00:15:54.560 again they're trying to paint this image of a guy who's a dangerous populist who's appealing to
00:15:58.640 dangerous misogynist it's embarrassing journalism i'd be embarrassed to put my name on an article 0.58
00:16:03.440 like this rupa yeah well first of all the hashtag uh men going their own way i i know a little bit
00:16:10.000 about this movement and uh um and i'm i'm and i'm speaking as a woman um um and i'm not a biologist
00:16:18.160 but i'm a woman but i'll tell you i mean these are men uh who have just chosen to focus
00:16:26.480 on their own uh self-development uh they're just doing their own thing they don't want anything
00:16:31.120 to do with women uh they you know the last time i checked i think these people were called bachelors
00:16:37.280 and women who did that were called spinsters right um so i yes there i think there are certain uh
00:16:44.400 elements uh in this movement that are seen as misogynistic they're seen as uh men who just really
00:16:51.040 really really hate women and some of them engage in harassing women online obviously you know that's
00:16:56.240 where i draw draw a line but hey look if men want to go their own way uh you know who am i to stop
00:17:02.400 them like you know it's i i i respect uh personal autonomy you want to go your own way by all means
00:17:08.800 uh by the way there are women who are also going their own way uh this i i just discovered this morning
00:17:14.240 there's a group on reddit called women going their own way and for similar reasons they hate men
00:17:19.600 um and uh you know they just want to do their own thing and again the last time i checked
00:17:24.720 women going their own way were called spinsters so you know it's um i i think a lot is being made
00:17:31.760 out of this hashtag and why on earth is ceases obsessed with this group uh do we not have more
00:17:38.160 serious things to think about like um you know what's going on in iran for example or uh you know
00:17:46.080 rush the russia ukraine thing um you know i'm just i'm just a little baffled by why our uh
00:17:53.280 intelligence uh services are you know are focused on this group hopefully it's not taking away from the
00:18:00.000 other important stuff that they should be focused on um i think you know from a political point of view
00:18:05.360 i think pierce team uh made the right call in terms of removing this um this this hashtag think
00:18:12.400 about the fact that they're under uh you know great deal of scrutiny uh and uh and at this point you
00:18:19.840 know they really can't afford to um you know have this kind of uh thing um you know follow them wherever
00:18:26.800 they go on the campaign uh but having said that the movement itself like i said uh i think there are
00:18:34.160 men who just in that in that movement who just you know i've just chosen a life of celibacy and
00:18:42.480 they want to lead life like they're monks and lead their lives like they're monks and they don't want
00:18:49.600 anything to do with tradition uh social norms and oh you know which which would require them to make
00:18:56.880 women happy and and they're just deviating from that um and they just don't want to be on this 1.00
00:19:02.480 traditional path what exactly is wrong with that no exactly there's so much to get into here rupa i
00:19:08.320 mean of course they're you make the point that they're under more scrutiny well they're they seem
00:19:12.720 to be probably seems to be under more scrutiny than justin trudeau these days it's crazy i don't i
00:19:17.440 don't believe that there's a news outlet right now going through justin trudeau or the liberal party's
00:19:21.920 videos as they might be doing it now actually right but it's just it's just crazy to me that this is
00:19:27.760 considered to be journalism this is considered to be what global news is doing remember they've been
00:19:33.120 trying a lot of these different things on polyev you can we can go back to the diagonalon guy the
00:19:37.520 handshake which obviously was was a was a swing and a miss from global news and from i guess from the
00:19:43.600 opposition against pierre polyev they really wanted that one to stick that one didn't stick then they
00:19:47.760 did earlier this week they got alex jones to endorse pierre polyev and that then they tried to make
00:19:52.560 that a big deal like oh this is a this is it this is the one that's going to paint polyev as this
00:19:56.160 dangerous far-right populist that one didn't stick and now they're doing this and it just seems as
00:20:00.880 though it's very very coordinated and i'll tell you why i think that actually because this story
00:20:06.400 came out on thursday morning by thursday at 2 p.m at question period justin trudeau comes up and
00:20:12.560 instead of answering the question pierre polyev addresses to him justin trudeau turns around and
00:20:17.040 basically uses this exact story to say that pierre polyev is appealing to dangerous far-right uh
00:20:24.480 misogynist yeah it's insane to me rupa it's so clearly global news is so clearly trying to do the
00:20:32.240 government's bidding i don't think i've ever actually seen something so obvious in the in
00:20:36.240 the media space it's unbelievable well do you uh harrison you and i were at an event in toronto
00:20:42.640 on september 26th uh the democracy fund event uh which featured a discussion between conrad black and
00:20:49.120 rex murphy and you i uh recall what rex murphy said uh and i think that that was a quote of the
00:20:55.600 evening for me he said a good chunk of the ottawa press gallery functions as um an opposition party
00:21:01.600 to the leader of the opposition and i think that's what's going on here um uh the um um pierre and the
00:21:08.960 conservatives are being held to account much more so than uh the justin trudeau uh look this is again
00:21:18.240 trying to deflect from uh some very big issues for example on the weekend um the um there was a big
00:21:26.080 protest uh just outside of toronto um uh protesting for masa amini the 22 year old uh kurdish woman who
00:21:33.600 was beaten to death uh in an iranian uh prison uh a few weeks ago which has sparked um protests all
00:21:40.560 across iran uh with the women leading uh the protests and the group that organized the protest
00:21:48.240 in toronto reached out to uh justin trudeau and the foreign affairs minister melanie jolly and they
00:21:56.000 didn't even acknowledge the invite apparently according to the organizers uh meanwhile um so the
00:22:01.760 protests happened on saturday on on sunday uh justin trudeau goes bungee jumping uh now where is the
00:22:08.480 scrutiny here right uh if you if you if you if you're pointing to your opponent and calling him
00:22:14.080 a misogynist well how serious are you about um you know feminist foreign policy and all of that stuff
00:22:22.560 that you frequently talk about and you can't even show up to a protest um in in in honor of a woman who 0.64
00:22:28.880 was brutally murdered uh by the um by the the theocratic uh regime in iran i think it's just hypocrisy and i
00:22:37.760 think this kind of thing just deflects from all of those bigger issues 100 well put exactly it's
00:22:44.080 just it's it's it's really um you know one set of rules for the prime minister and one set of rules
00:22:50.240 for the opposition and anyone else uh anyone else gets trudeau's set of rules if they kind of show
00:22:55.680 loyalty you don't see uh really heavy criticism from global news on jagmeet singh for example that's
00:23:01.360 because he's falls in line behind justin trudeau and of course it all comes down to how much money
00:23:06.640 you're willing to cough up how much money are you willing to stuff into the pockets of these guys
00:23:10.240 it really does work um and the truth is it kind of actually is a it's a bit of a problem looking
00:23:14.640 forward if pierre paulia becomes prime minister uh the media is gonna they're gonna be expecting
00:23:20.240 something in from pierre paulia and part of part of my cynical mind almost goes to the point of
00:23:25.520 why don't you just fund them the money as well like if justin trudeau is gonna do that and he's
00:23:29.280 gonna get all the coverage from it of course it's not conservative it's not actually good to do
00:23:33.520 but you also want to at least give give the liberals back uh you know what what what they
00:23:38.880 a taste of their own medicine you could say right i mean it just it does ask you do you do have to
00:23:42.880 ask the question what would they what's going to happen with the media bailouts when the conservatives
00:23:46.960 get in power hopefully it's gone forever and they have to rely on their own other oh yeah absolutely i
00:23:52.000 mean it's absolutely ridiculous i uh that uh that we fund the media here the government funds the media
00:23:58.640 which is ridiculous i i can't think of any other country that does that no exactly yeah no no no and
00:24:05.520 you know no matter what anybody tells you you know i have a great respect for a great deal of
00:24:10.800 journalists in the legacy media and they'll say no this money is not affecting the way we operate
00:24:16.160 i i call bs on that you know at some level it is going to determine the kinds of stories you pursue
00:24:23.600 uh the lines that you draw uh when it comes to certain things that you um that that you're you're
00:24:30.640 not going to be reporting on so i you know i i i do think that this money um that the the funding
00:24:36.880 needs to stop uh and uh it should have it should stop right now justin trudeau should stop it actually
00:24:43.120 but if it doesn't uh happen then i i really hope the conservatives if and when they come to power put an
00:24:49.040 end to this absolutely and yeah i recall i recall a conversation on one of the candace malcolm show
00:24:54.320 interviews with paul wells who went he he joined candace's show uh when he launched his own sub
00:25:00.080 stack and left the legacy media and they talked exactly about this that the they don't feel like
00:25:04.880 they're influenced by the money but there's no way you can convince the public that they're not
00:25:08.720 biased in some way well we try and end the show these days it's a new theme we're running with
00:25:13.040 on a lighter note on a funnier story as best we can and because again it's not always easy to find
00:25:18.640 funny fake news but when you're looking at the cbc usually something comes up every seven days or so
00:25:24.160 so we're we're usually okay and sure enough this one did so this hour has 22 minutes which presumably
00:25:29.920 is supposed to be a comedy show but if you've seen any other skits they're really not that funny
00:25:34.240 this hour has 22 minutes which is the cbc state-funded comedy show go figure with that one
00:25:39.360 they have basically for their 30th anniversary for a 30th uh 30th season episode they have done this
00:25:46.880 new sort of rebranding or attempt to rebrand with their program i want to read some of it
00:25:51.440 because it is it is quite funny the the title of this uh canadian press article for the announcement
00:25:57.760 of this rebranding is this this hour has 22 minutes taking aim at inflation racism in 30th season oh i'm
00:26:04.320 sure it's going to be even funnier rupa now now that they're going after racism and at the end of this
00:26:10.000 at the end of this long story i did read it all of it unfortunately and it's all just sort of about
00:26:14.960 talking about the story of 22 minutes but at the end of the story they get into this bit about
00:26:19.840 one of the new cast members on the show and it's about this new cast member who openly admits that
00:26:25.600 she got her position because of affirmative action check this out she writes since joining
00:26:30.560 the show in 2022 as a writer and supporting performer she was promoted to star in the 2022
00:26:35.040 edition joining trent mcclellan stacy mcgonigal and critch a feat she part she part credits to 22 minutes
00:26:41.360 alumni susan kent who the woman's name is amu kwando who amu kwando says insisted that she be
00:26:48.320 replaced with a woman of color upon her departure an intense request she says like that is the reason 0.99
00:26:53.600 i got hired essentially so she this woman this black woman openly admits that she's on the show now
00:26:58.800 because of the fact that she was supposed to be replaced by a woman of color i again i just think
00:27:03.760 that that's exposed to the cbc for what they are and then at the end this woman kind of just
00:27:08.800 summarizes for all canadians about what we can expect for this special 30th season of 22 minutes
00:27:13.920 she writes this especially with the rise of fascism canadians are waiting for a real opinion about
00:27:19.520 our current landscape i can't wait for 22 minutes to continue to critique that because i think we've
00:27:24.080 really been on the button with that this year wow so 22 minutes they're going after fascism
00:27:29.040 they're going after racism and inflation the the material i i'm sure it's just endless rupa
00:27:34.880 yeah so uh harrison i mean so i'm i'm assuming uh they're going to be talking about when it comes
00:27:41.520 to racism they're going to tackle justin trudeau's blackface when it comes to the rise of fascism 0.69
00:27:47.440 hopefully they'll talk about the emergencies act and how a peaceful protest was uh you know was was uh
00:27:53.600 you know the way a peaceful protest civil disobedience movement in canada was dealt with
00:27:58.000 uh so i'm hoping that they deal with all of that stuff but you know what i'm not holding my breath
00:28:02.160 because i think this is going to be one of the those things one of these woke humor type things
00:28:10.000 uh which is not exact which is not funny at all and uh and it does i think this is going to be another
00:28:16.640 way to um attack pierre polyevra i think that's i think that's what this is going to be about and uh
00:28:23.200 again it's our tax uh funded uh it's uh it's uh it's our taxpayers money going going to fund this kind
00:28:30.080 of stuff um and um yeah it's um it's it's unfortunate i i you know i stopped watching this
00:28:36.080 hour has 22 minutes many many years ago because it just stopped being funny yeah no exactly i mean
00:28:42.640 we're seeing the death of late time television these comedy shows right it was like donald trump
00:28:47.280 broke them donald trump came along all of these programs in the us and in canada they only focused
00:28:52.080 on trump and now all of a sudden they can't they can't make jokes about the other guy they can't
00:28:56.000 make jokes about the person who's on the other side of the uh on the other side of the house or
00:29:00.160 on the other side of the aisle and i think it's basically ruined them and what a surprise i mean
00:29:05.040 i hope that they go after blackface i hope they go after emergencies act but like you said i'm not 1.00
00:29:08.720 holding my breath i'm not no but here's here yeah here's the thing harrison i mean for a show that is
00:29:13.040 not exactly very funny at all um it manages to survive somehow uh that would never that would never
00:29:22.240 happen with our shows right yeah no exactly we see we see the death of late time in the us because
00:29:27.680 their actual businesses cbc they're they're never going to go away we keep giving them billions of
00:29:32.720 dollars they're just going to keep pumping out this crap we're going to get 22 minutes and we're 0.96
00:29:36.560 going to get this new little tv program with the talking tomato can't wait for it rupa well anyway 0.96
