Juno News - Media goes quiet as Trudeau dodges mask rules

00:00:00.000 hello everyone and welcome to another edition of made up news monday no wait hang on something's

00:00:18.860 not right is it trivial tuesday woke wednesday thursday no uh fake news friday that's it see i

00:00:25.860 was doing the whole fake news thing myself i'm getting my days all mixed up great to have you

00:00:30.280 tuned in to the program i am andrew lawton guest hosting for candace malcolm while she tends to

00:00:36.020 the monumental task of making and nurturing life which we wish her very well on uh joining me as

00:00:41.580 always is true north producer and host of ratioed harrison faulkner harrison good to talk to you on

00:00:48.120 this fine friday how are you good to talk to you too andrew i understand the uh the confusion and

00:00:53.500 mix-up of the days as we get into the summer months it's uh it's tough to keep everything

00:00:57.880 in line these days yeah i i drove through a tornado yesterday so i'm actually or i guess it was two

00:01:04.780 days ago so i'm particularly twisted up now in my in my thinking more so than usual but some things

00:01:10.700 remain constant and one constant we can always rely on is justin trudeau's hypocrisy and in this

00:01:16.520 particular case he's not even trying he's not even trying this is a picture of a video of justin

00:01:23.480 trudeau doing a photo op in british columbia great to see you great to see you guys of course of

00:01:30.720 course

00:01:31.000 so there he is glad handing meeting people hanging out you may think well what's the big deal well

00:01:40.140 notice anything on their faces because i certainly didn't this is a in okanagan british columbia

00:01:47.760 steam train it's not federally regulated which is relevant because the federal government has

00:01:53.160 mandated masks on all trains you cannot board a train a via rail train from toronto to london or

00:01:59.880 from calgary to uh anywhere else without wearing a mask and the government says this is the science

00:02:06.520 the science says trains are unsafe but when it's a political photo op in okanagan i guess the science

00:02:13.400 is different i have you been able to figure out where the science stands on this are masks needed on

00:02:18.260 trains or not harrison well so what i think i've come to realize andrew is that if the train is

00:02:23.620 stationary if it's a steam train if it's one of these sort of tourist trains uh despite the size

00:02:29.580 despite the you know the number of people in it that is when obviously the science tells us

00:02:33.820 you're fine from covid you're safe from covid as soon as that train you know actually becomes

00:02:38.840 properly mobile it actually takes you from one place to the to another from one city to another

00:02:44.360 and it gets federally regulated and of course covid becomes a problem so i think i'm coming to realize

00:02:48.920 this andrew if it's it's two things if it's a if it's a stationary train or it's a touristy kind of

00:02:55.460 stop then covid won't won't be a problem and covid won't be a problem if the prime minister is there

00:03:00.640 so he kind of has this weird force field he can stop covid wherever he goes uh only however when you

00:03:07.000 and i get on a train andrew uh like when the rest of us get on a train that's when covid becomes a

00:03:11.560 problem so it's slowly starting to make more sense for me uh but again i can understand the

00:03:16.200 confusion from a lot of canadians when they see this when they see the fact that we're the only

00:03:19.620 country uh in what is it in in the western world basically that is holding on to these mask mandates

00:03:25.100 that is holding on to these punitive rules uh it's starting to become a reality that we are just

00:03:31.260 such an outlier in this and the prime minister is so caught up in this mask theater that none of it

00:03:38.020 really makes sense there's there's no amount of thinking there's no amount of research there's no

00:03:42.680 amount of medical data that you can that you can look at and to and look into to find where any of

00:03:48.440 this makes sense unfortunately i think that's where we're at yeah and and that's the whole thing like

00:03:52.920 and people the true and on defenders are actually hilarious on twitter right now because they'll say

00:03:58.800 something like well it's not mandated there or it's not federally regulated i'm like you're you're

00:04:03.680 missing the point the point is not like no one's suggesting they're breaking the law the point is

00:04:08.220 that they're ignoring if the law is supposed to be rooted in science then the science would change

00:04:13.720 when you're on a steam train versus on a another train that's going uh in in a commercial setting

00:04:19.580 and i by the way i have to mention on a steam thing this was like the greatest day ever for the

00:04:24.960 train operators because if you're powered by hot air having justin trudeau on like gets you going miles

00:04:30.640 and miles per hour so i think that's why they had him on he was just a new fuel source for

00:04:35.020 for a steam powered train but i think the reality here is that it's the same as when we saw him

00:04:41.220 masked up while he was doing one thing and then the next day he's with the 90 something year old

00:04:46.600 queen elizabeth ii with no mask but then he's wearing the mask when he's with boris johnson but

00:04:51.120 boris isn't wearing the mask at this rally and this event and it's just it's completely made up

00:04:56.200 and the rules are that i think you were right about this harrison the rules are that

00:05:00.240 the covet is not an issue when justin trudeau doesn't want it to be an issue when he wants

00:05:04.360 to live life mask free no issue at all when he wants to uh do whatever else is is on his mind

00:05:09.780 that he involves mandating things that is when covet's an issue and and how are we can't even

00:05:15.100 figure it out we can't unlock this information he is the great oracle uh so we all have to wait

00:05:19.660 when he takes his mask off that's when we can when he puts it on we we have to put actually no

00:05:24.040 we always have to keep it on even when he takes his off that's the big annoyance here so if

00:05:28.880 you're a canadian who is fed up with this looking at this is like it's just enraging it is enraging

00:05:34.740 you're like why do i have to on a 12 hour flight from i don't know toronto to tokyo keep my face

00:05:40.540 covered but this guy who's mandating that can do whatever he wants well exactly and it's one of

00:05:47.100 those things that you know when you when you're running with a lie for so long the pressure builds

00:05:53.020 up and you eventually fit you eventually crumble to it you eventually expose yourself because it's not

00:05:58.520 it doesn't make any sense and this is what we're seeing i mean trudeau is trying to convince all

00:06:02.040 of us that we have to keep wearing masks but eventually he was always going to get caught

00:06:05.660 out he was always going to find himself in a position where he wasn't following his own rules

00:06:09.300 and i think other leaders other western leaders have come to their senses they realize that wait

00:06:14.220 a second the minute i'm pictured doing something like what trudeau did at this steam train the minute

00:06:19.780 i'm pictured not wearing a mask when i've told everyone else to wear a mask that's when the entire

00:06:23.660 you know this one the entire sort of house of cards falls on this whole public health restrictions

00:06:29.400 regime for trudeau he doesn't even care about that i mean you almost got to respect the complete

00:06:34.120 you know lack of of consideration the lack of care when it comes to the the image and the hypocrisy

00:06:39.840 because i think that's what it is andrew i think a lot of western leaders just said you know what

00:06:43.300 there's no way especially with the uk with the uk media for example there's no way that boris johnson

00:06:49.820 could be seen breaking his mask rules and i know all the leaders did this they eventually did get

00:06:54.820 caught breaking their own rules but there's no way other countries media uh would let the leaders

00:06:59.800 off the hook the way canadian media lets trudeau off the hook you didn't see very you didn't see

00:07:03.840 much criticism from canada's legacy media for trudeau being spotted maskless here you didn't see

00:07:09.180 any criticism when trudeau was spotted maskless in many other situations this is not the first time

00:07:13.440 he's broken his own rules obviously he has a bit of a problem doing that whether it's health rules

00:07:18.180 or whatever i mean where was it um he was he like you said andrew he was seen uh wearing a mask

00:07:24.860 meeting the uk opposition leader keir starmer uh and then he was seen maskless meeting the queen

00:07:30.700 um he was also seen uh having a mask free party in the netherlands with uh mark ruta the netherlands

00:07:37.820 prime minister oh yeah yeah yeah they were like bar they were like doing a bar crawl together weren't

00:07:42.200 they pub yeah they were doing their little pub crawl together you know the best buddies the uh

00:07:46.180 ruta and trudeau while they were doing their thing behind a bar you know enjoying life maskless mask

00:07:51.880 free when all of us in canada were of course masked up and all these you know service workers had to be

00:07:57.320 masked up so it doesn't matter for trudeau it simply doesn't care and this is what happens when you own

00:08:01.500 the media pretty much when you buy off the media you can do whatever you want and no one's going to

00:08:05.760 call you out on it it's only going to be us it's only going to be some of the the critical media and i

00:08:09.900 think for trudeau it just doesn't matter to him he doesn't care yeah one thing that i will say

00:08:14.540 taking the bigger picture view of this i i was as i said on my own show i was just in the united

00:08:19.500 kingdom and it was night and day to canada now the uk was not exactly the bastion of freedom during

00:08:25.840 covet admittedly i mean some of the lockdown stuff there was insane worse than canada the behavior

00:08:30.720 of of her majesty's constabulary was absolutely atrocious in many points but the one thing that

00:08:36.620 the uk did well better than canada is moving on from this covid just does not exist at all and it

00:08:43.880 was interesting when i was at the airport uh on the way back at heathrow i walked around and i saw a

00:08:48.560 couple of people wearing masks and i said okay whatever all of them were canadians because they

00:08:52.640 were all on my flight to toronto so that's how you can tell when you're in another country who the

00:08:56.800 canadian is because they're the one wearing a mask when no one else is but it was literally this insane

00:09:02.160 thing where i flew uh from on an aerolingus flight which is an irish carrier no masks no issues and

00:09:08.760 then i i connect on to a canadian flight and the second you get on the plane you got the air canada

00:09:14.540 flight attendants barking at you to put your mask on because transport canada is forcing them to do

00:09:19.340 that so the covid science just fundamentally is different to canada than it is everywhere else in

00:09:26.460 the world and there's that old line about when you know when you're the only one that's thinking a

00:09:32.140 certain way maybe you're the problem i think that's true in this canadian context as well

00:09:36.940 let's turn to trudeau's the perception of trudeau around the world because i think this is actually

00:09:42.380 very interconnected the these first two stories here harrison joe rogan not necessarily the barometer

00:09:48.160 of world opinion but i think he is an example of an outsider's view of things what's happened

00:09:53.400 well so on his on his podcast the joe rogan experience which is probably the biggest podcast

00:09:59.440 in the world hundreds and not hundreds millions of downloads per episode he absolutely laid into

00:10:05.160 justin trudeau and kind of just laid out exactly how i think a lot of people around the world are

00:10:10.060 starting to starting to view trudeau um obviously in canada we have a different perception whether

00:10:15.240 that's the way our media you know the media writes about trudeau um or just how we how we view our

00:10:20.840 politics in general but americans are starting to catch on to the fact that things just don't seem

00:10:25.600 to add up in canada for them and we've seen great commentary from tucker carlson on trudeau we've seen

00:10:31.000 this is not the first time joe rogan has commented on trudeau but basically i think this is probably

00:10:35.420 the the the furthest he's gone in his criticism of justin trudeau in our country he just flat out

00:10:40.580 called canada a communist country he said that our prime minister is a dictator a creepy dictator uh and

00:10:47.800 and basically said that he needs to go and i think this is probably andrew one of the harshest or most

00:10:53.300 blunt criticisms of uh trudeau that we've seen in in the international media and this is not just

00:10:58.880 any random podcast this is probably the biggest podcast in the world he said that canada is a

00:11:03.660 communist country he said that we are effed uh he said that they got it we got to get rid of this guy

00:11:09.780 and uh his guest tom segura another comedian just agreed and said canada's crazy um and so he kind

00:11:16.860 of did this whole he prefaced it by saying you know he thought trudeau was a was a good guy a good

00:11:21.340 talker he thought he was a handsome guy uh but then he just turns out that after watching how

00:11:26.320 trudeau has handled covid and how we're holding on to all these rules that he's just basically a

00:11:30.340 dictator nothing less than a dictator and i said this on my podcast yesterday andrew that justin

00:11:35.280 trudeau for some reason took away the one thing that differentiated him from the rest of the world's

00:11:40.340 dictators it was his hair it was his appearance he cut off his hair and now even looks kind of like

00:11:44.720 a dictator so i mean i guess we're really into it now well i i won't i won't i won't do the the

00:11:49.960 coiffure analysis but i will say what's fascinating about uh joe rogan's perception of this is that

00:11:56.820 joe rogan is in that jordan peterson space where the media the elites the establishment hate him but

00:12:02.820 he has this huge audience and this huge amount of influence and he's a lot more connected to people

00:12:08.540 than the ones who hate him are i mean you you had compiled a bit of a list of just the some of the

00:12:13.980 unhinged reactions to this from i don't even know if they're all from trudeau sycophants or maybe

00:12:20.100 they're just from garden variety joe rogan haters but people did not like that he dared criticize

00:12:24.720 justin trudeau no absolutely not and so what what did the canada's legacy media do of course when this

00:12:30.200 happened they got into defense mode they went full on uh they immediately started trying to basically

00:12:36.380 defend the prime minister find people and highlight voices of people that were critical of rogan's

00:12:40.960 comments now just before we get into this it's it's important to remember that joe rogan is not

00:12:44.960 some is not some conservative zealot not some you know hardcore conservative ideologue he endorsed

00:12:50.060 bernie sanders in the 2016 election i'm pretty sure it might have been even 2020 race he is definitely

00:12:56.580 not a conservative he just so happens to have his eye on the ball i think many would agree so the

00:13:01.800 toronto star put together a list of reactions to joe rogan's comments and of course to be fair to them

00:13:07.700 not all of the reactions that the toronto star put in this were critical of rogan um some of them

00:13:13.360 were critical of trudeau but the overall majority of them were critical of rogan's comments and we

00:13:18.360 can just go through some of them that they highlight so in the article they highlight this one comment

00:13:22.180 uh which basically said if we have a prime minister that keeps fox news and joe rogan upset it's a good

00:13:27.260 thing and then he right and then this person writes dear joe rogan trudeau is not a dictator in fact

00:13:32.280 he is the leader of a political party who can throw him out at any time who holds the most seats in a

00:13:36.600 minority parliament which could fall at any time he doesn't even have veto power hey hang on i i gotta

00:13:42.680 jump in on that one because that tweet is like the example of taking it way too literally and not

00:13:47.840 seeing the forest through the trees it's like it's like no he's not a dictator canada has statutory

00:13:52.640 elections and it's like no no the whole point is how he chooses to govern now i don't even make the

00:13:57.740 view that trudeau is a dictator but the the reality is the prime minister of canada has more power than

00:14:03.060 the president of the united states so the prime minister under our system is tremendously powerful

00:14:08.360 so to do like civics 101 on this as like the neutralizing a factor on this i think it's just

00:14:14.420 amusing and and really key to that you must be fun at parties retort yeah no exactly and it also shows

00:14:20.960 you andrew that when the toronto star has to pull twitter responses to debunk joe rogan's claims

00:14:26.400 instead of actually getting legitimate you know real real expert opinion on politics from people

00:14:34.020 then it shows you what they're trying to do is highlight the most extreme responses the people

00:14:38.260 that are most sycophantic to trudeau they're not even looking to get legitimate criticisms of the of

00:14:42.880 the comments they're just pulling twitter responses i guess this passes for toronto star journalism

00:14:48.120 one more i want to highlight uh from this article is no rogan gets his information on canadian

00:14:54.040 politics through jordan peterson and gad sad both of which misinterpret progressive messaging in the

00:14:59.280 worst possible ways okay so gad side and jordan peterson two act two professors 10 well gad side

00:15:05.840 is a tenured professor jordan peterson former professor they misinterpret progressive messaging

00:15:10.760 because of course what you have to do to understand trudeau is understand all the progressive messaging

00:15:15.860 techniques that's the only way that you can understand trudeau i guess and then he goes to goes on to

00:15:21.260 right mostly because that's what their audience wants to hear we rank higher on the freedom index

00:15:26.000 than the usa yes so canada with our arrive can app with our mask restrictions with our with our

00:15:31.840 with our crazy lockdowns that we went through uh yeah we are definitely more free than the united

00:15:36.800 states let's just go with that i'm sure no one disagrees andrew i'm sure you don't you don't disagree

00:15:41.600 andrew that canada is more free than the united states

00:15:44.420 it's a it's a tough one because both of them have their challenges i mean generally though the united

00:15:50.920 states will always default back to freedom and unfortunately it seems like canada is doing the

00:15:55.940 opposite and i mean as much as i don't like canada u.s comparisons some of these tweets though make me

00:16:00.960 long for the direction on how to masculinize your voice i'd rather listen to that video again the one

00:16:06.680 that we did last week uh then uh then then listen to some of the the unhinged reaction to to this

00:16:12.640 you know it's true the thing with joe rogan which i find fascinating you can't even he you can't even

00:16:17.840 apply to him all of the typical attacks that people apply to the right because he's not a conservative

00:16:23.860 and i mean he's probably a bit more libertarian but even then he's a lot more in that sort of weirdly

00:16:29.600 apolitical ecosystem that sort of transcends uh being being a partisan and i think that makes it so

00:16:36.360 difficult for people they hate him but they don't even really they don't have the ability to go

00:16:40.460 through their normal bag of insults with him yeah i have that same sort of view that rogan doesn't

00:16:45.580 obviously fit into the typical you know political spectrum the way that other other commentators do

00:16:51.180 and i i kind of view joe rogan to be in this sort of russell brand joe rogan you can throw some

00:16:57.600 other names in there that are basically just youtube and media personalities who are definitely not

00:17:03.680 conservatives they'll be the first people the first people to tell you that they're not conservatives

00:17:06.980 they're not a partisan they're not a republican or a or a conservative party member um but they just so

00:17:12.180 happen to be very critical of these ultra progressive governments in charge maybe that's a message about

00:17:18.220 the progressive governments and not necessarily the commentators who themselves are not conservatives

00:17:23.360 they say so um and more joe rogan has this incredible ability andrew to just explode heads he can he can 0.65

00:17:32.200 make people go absolutely nuts and lose their minds over a very silly comment over a joke don't forget

00:17:38.420 he is a comedian that's the whole idea of most of his podcast and yeah and same as tom segura has

00:17:43.080 guessed on that yeah exactly so on that same podcast where rogan was criticizing trudeau and calling him

00:17:48.580 a communist uh calling canada communist he made this joke obviously a joke about la and about the

00:17:56.060 homeless pop the homeless population in la basically talking about how the the state has promoted or

00:18:03.180 helped the homeless population to such a degree and given them so much so much uh you know you could

00:18:08.980 say legal protection that you can't do anything about it i mean they were talking him and joe joe rogan

00:18:13.820 and this guy tom segura we're talking about how you can't touch a homeless person's property on the

00:18:20.020 street obviously it's on public property but you can't touch it because it's legally their property now

00:18:25.060 and it's a it's an overall criticism of what what's going on in la so rogan made a comment about how

00:18:31.500 you can't move these people from the street but if you shot them no one would do anything obviously

00:18:37.020 making a joke it would be very difficult i mean you'd have to be maybe you'd have to be from tmz or

00:18:42.140 somewhere somewhere like that to assume that rogan was talking literally and of course tmz wrote an

00:18:47.360 article about this comment of course just looking for headlines looking for clicks they wrote a headline

00:18:52.820 that said joe rogan under fire for maybe just go shoot the homeless joke intended as political jab

00:19:00.860 and i'm not sure if that was the original headline they ran with but tmz is a very odd publication

00:19:06.660 andrew i haven't gone on there in quite a long time to read their articles but it's very bizarre because

00:19:12.200 it's clearly written by a leftist activist uh the beginning in the lead they talk about how these

00:19:19.200 people aren't homeless they are without a home or they are what's the word they use for them

00:19:24.360 unhoused exactly i guess that's the new term andrew so it starts off with their the unhoused as though

00:19:32.260 i guess everyone is entitled to a home these days that is sort of i guess the california line about

00:19:36.880 the homeless so it starts off by being very critical of rogan at the very top but then at the very end of

00:19:42.220 the article you can see exactly where the editor of tmz came in and said yeah nice activist article

00:19:47.840 let me just put some context at the bottom of the we'll let you have a little bit of fun at the

00:19:51.680 beginning but we're bringing it around to reality exactly at the bottom of the article then they

00:19:55.980 bring in the fact that of course what he was doing was criticizing the la county district attorney

00:20:01.360 george gasconn who many conservatives if you follow any american conservative media you will

00:20:06.180 have heard that name likely they are really upset at this at this district attorney in la who has

00:20:11.360 basically let the city become a lawless wasteland so it's a criticism of that it's a criticism of the

00:20:16.100 la politics not of the homeless people but of course for leftists and activists in the media

00:20:21.920 and they don't they don't understand that they don't say that all they hear is joe rogan wants

00:20:25.360 to shoot homeless people it's just bizarre it's just so weird yeah i mean one of the most insufferable

00:20:31.460 developments of the last few years is the complete abandonment of having a sense of humor this this was

00:20:36.740 the big thing with trump is that nine times out of ten whenever trump said something that was

00:20:40.320 supposedly outrageous you'd read it in print you'd be like oh wow that's terrible and then you'd watch the

00:20:44.340 video and it's like okay he's clearly joking and people are deliberately deciding to pretend that

00:20:49.360 humor no longer exists so uh in any case let's continue along with our theme of talking about

00:20:55.280 how the media can be out of touch with its audience sometimes and this one is a bit of a visual

00:21:00.020 representation of it here cbc was doing a segment about inflation which we know is a massive issue this

00:21:06.820 week came to record highs the highest in 39 years with an 8.1 percent i think increase year over year

00:21:13.260 for the last month that we have data available and a lot of people in this country are wondering how

00:21:19.200 to make things work they're wondering how to afford the grocery bill how to afford the fill up at the

00:21:24.280 gas pumps and well here's a little bit of advice from cbc's personal finance correspondent on this

00:21:31.280 a woman by the name of rubina ahmed hack let's see shelter and hydro uh in combination uh should be

00:21:39.140 about 30 percent of your income and that is much higher uh right now especially in cities like

00:21:44.080 toronto vancouver calgary where rents are much higher uh one way that you can mitigate that is

00:21:49.980 by speaking to your employer about getting a raise uh with inflation the way that it is going

00:21:55.520 it is completely reasonable right now especially in this tight labor market to go to your employer

00:22:00.720 and say i need you to bump my wage because it's becoming impossible for me to still survive in the

00:22:06.660 city that i was hired in and if that doesn't work looking for another job especially if you've got

00:22:11.780 skills that are in demand will often give you the bump that you need in order to afford that apartment

00:22:16.800 and that rent that goes with it i can hear a whole bunch of people at home going so my boss will say no

00:22:22.140 yeah and that is and that's a fair point i'm kind of conflicted on this because in in one sense it

00:22:29.300 sounds just so out of touch it sounds like this thing that is just completely disconnected

00:22:33.740 from the people who are really grappling people that work in lower wage jobs perhaps i mean but

00:22:39.060 even in general i mean you don't need to work in a minimum wage job to be feeling the pinch with

00:22:43.380 inflation but then on the other hand i'm looking at and in people's cases where they are in a

00:22:50.680 bargaining position sure that's great advice to go to your boss and say i want to raise or to look

00:22:54.780 for another job everyone's hiring but it completely misses the mark that right now we don't have

00:23:00.760 a problem that can be easily solved by just okay i'm just going to pick up and no longer be poor

00:23:06.380 yeah exactly you're not you're not going to hear any legitimate criticism of the situation we're in

00:23:11.740 of course what you're going to hear is just basically you know find a better job go find a

00:23:16.720 better job for yourself and i think that again you're right it's it's classic cbc it completely

00:23:21.640 misses the mark and it's not helping anyone it's just basically telling you what the obvious is oh yeah

00:23:26.580 everyone can go get a better job uh not like anyone's gonna have to fill the jobs that everyone

00:23:30.640 left of course that that thinking never comes to never never really comes to reality but i love some

00:23:36.080 of the comments on this video when we posted it on true north we got some good funny comments and just

00:23:41.100 this woman said or this person wrote she can use her own advice when the cbc is defunded which i

00:23:45.820 thought was quite hilarious uh maybe some of the cbc experts are going to need to be asking their

00:23:51.080 employers for a raise when uh when the money doesn't start funding funneling their way the

00:23:55.980 same way it currently does so of course the cbc with with their with their you know with their

00:24:00.720 position they're in they've got they don't have to worry about price that they don't have to worry

00:24:04.080 about salaries that's for sure they of course just give us perfect advice andrew why can't everyone

00:24:09.140 just go get a better job why can't anyone just ask for a raise i'm sure i'm sure i'm sure

00:24:13.660 businesses themselves definitely aren't struggling with eight percent inflation 40 year high inflation

00:24:18.060 i mean it's just so short-sighted the the funny thing is she's doing what the left used to be

00:24:23.000 enraged when you know your old sort of 80s 90s conservatist did it the whole bootstraps

00:24:28.040 conservatism of just just pick yourself up by the boots like like she's doing what the right used

00:24:32.500 to be just derided for doing yeah and i wonder if uh if the inflation we're seeing now was under a

00:24:39.400 conservative government i wonder if the cbc would be telling us that we need to find better jobs we need

00:24:44.440 to just ask for more raises or maybe they were maybe they might be a bit more critical of the

00:24:48.400 situation we're in i'm not sure andrew something tells me that uh they they might they might be a

00:24:53.040 bit more critical of the government if it were a conservative government but maybe that's just my

00:24:56.420 maybe that's just me having a having a negative outlook on the cbc all right well we got time for

00:25:01.340 one more here harrison take it away so we found this uh very very odd video i have to say it happened to

00:25:08.220 be an interview with a global news toronto well with global news toronto this this woman

00:25:13.980 latisha isertal who's the senior director of a company called food share went on global news to

00:25:20.440 talk about one of their new initiatives and what it is is a dismantling white supremacy food box so we

00:25:28.280 have a clip we have a clip of the interview and i think it's worth quickly playing the video before we

00:25:32.920 comment on it this is what the video this is what the interview sounded like you know we often ask why

00:25:37.340 you know name the dismantling white supremacy box why we do some of the work and i think

00:25:41.400 ultimately is that you know the data is really clear in terms of showing that black indigenous and

00:25:46.420 visualized community experience higher rate of food insecurity in toronto and they also remain like

00:25:52.500 under supported when it comes to farming and agriculture and you know they often underrepresented

00:25:57.480 when it comes to like running you know your own farm and your own business why you know there's

00:26:02.360 there's no denying that small scale farming is a struggle you know regardless of your race it's

00:26:08.700 really important that we recognize the additional barrier that many black indigenous and people of

00:26:13.840 color farmers and we are facing right first it's it's about whether it's with this dismantling white 0.66

00:26:19.300 supremacy box and and and the farmers we working with for that or you know the the work that we do for

00:26:25.360 it's about really changing the system for those who uh face the most barrier and are discriminated

00:26:31.320 against in our food movement and so hopefully we can fix the system for all so andrew this initiative

00:26:37.100 is designed to i guess tackle food insecurity or what these people call food insecurity uh and they're

00:26:43.420 not making any direct accusation of racism they're not saying that farmers that white farmers are uh you

00:26:49.700 know believe that they're they're only selling their food to white people that there's some inherent

00:26:53.260 white supremacy in farming no it's just because that black and indigenous uh people in toronto 0.90

00:26:59.020 suffer from higher rates of food insecurity it's very bizarre to me then that they call it

00:27:04.740 dismantling white supremacy box so a dismantling white supremacy box when they admit that these farmers

00:27:12.760 are not even racist they're not even they're not even white supremacists it's almost as if they're

00:27:17.160 kind of just throwing gas on the fire and trying to basically get people worked up i mean that's the

00:27:22.320 only way i can see it i mean when i see something like this one of my reactions is that they're

00:27:26.260 trying to get people worked up and fired up when they see a headline like this when the person even

00:27:31.640 admits that it's not even about white supremacy it's very bizarre i i i feel you're being very

00:27:37.580 insensitive i was trying to find the dismantling white supremacy deli meats at the grocery store the

00:27:42.840 other day and they didn't have any and then i looked for the dismantling white supremacy uh canned

00:27:48.360 goods and i couldn't find any and then i looked for the dismantling white supremacy milk and i i

00:27:52.900 couldn't find any so i feel that if white supremacy is innate in food products uh the fact

00:27:58.140 that i i'm not seeing any food products elsewhere devoted to it suggests this is a real problem there's

00:28:03.080 white supremacy everywhere and you you can't get it unless you buy kale from her yeah and i just find

00:28:08.000 it weird that of all of all the all the places where someone would go to get their message out like

00:28:12.760 this they go to global news supposedly one of our premier you know big name legacy media news outlets

00:28:18.860 global news wants to highlight something like this yeah it's it's very bizarre to me i i just i just don't

00:28:24.380 really i don't really understand any of this and when i see something like this even when the person

00:28:30.080 admits that it's not even about racism uh the only thing i can think of andrew is that they're

00:28:36.180 basically trying to incite people to react in a way that is negative that almost that tries to you

00:28:42.520 know produce a certain reaction or create a certain reaction from people when they read something

00:28:47.140 like this so apparently and do you do you think it's that though or do you think it's just trying

00:28:51.240 to capitalize on like guilty white liberals i mean of course i think it's probably that too but then

00:28:56.340 but then because i in which case i say capitalist of the year like well done exactly well then they

00:29:01.240 wouldn't even be solving uh supposed food insecurity for black and indigenous canadians they would just be 0.98

00:29:06.800 you know encouraging these you know insufferable white guilt liberals to uh to buy their to buy

00:29:13.620 their food boxes in these food boxes uh what you have are kalalu fo shoko uh basil kale and much more

00:29:23.060 so and it's all grown by local non-white growers that's the key there so the food you're getting it's not 0.98

00:29:28.720 grown by anyone who's a white person so i think you know the new the new the new standard andrew is to

00:29:33.980 fight white supremacy with racism sounds like a great strategy to me i'm sure there's no no issue

00:29:38.780 with that at all all right one box of kale at a time dismantling white supremacy that does it for

00:29:45.120 us for today harrison faulkner host of ratioed on true north and also the author of a great many other
