00:00:00.000
I will not be publicly identifying parliamentarians who men seek up
00:00:06.000
suspect of having participated in foreign interference activities.
00:00:11.000
Say, whatever happened to those 11 current and former members of parliament and senators
00:00:30.900
accused of working on behalf of hostile foreign nations?
00:00:38.080
After a long summer break, MPs are returning to the House today to carry out their duties
00:00:42.780
as elected officials, for which they have all sworn an oath of allegiance and loyalty
00:00:51.560
There are some in that House today who, for many months now, have been accused of treason.
00:00:57.580
And there are many MPs in that House today who know who those colleagues are.
00:01:03.320
I'm sure it's an open secret among the Ottawa political establishment as to who these
00:01:09.980
But Canadians, the people who elected these MPs, well, we're not allowed to know.
00:01:15.320
These alleged MPs and senators are being protected by the government.
00:01:19.740
And Canadians should be outraged over this, as it appears they are.

And the comment question for the episode is this.
00:01:41.520
Why are the 11 current and former politicians being protected by the government?
00:01:48.320
Let me know your answer in the comments below, and let's get into it.
00:01:51.080
This was the scene that greeted MPs today on their return to the House of Commons after
00:02:13.320
And we'll be seen as more bad news for Canadians and some good news for the alleged traitors

00:02:19.400
It was reported by Sam Cooper of the Bureau that Justice Marie Hogue, the woman tasked
00:02:25.580
with overseeing the foreign interference inquiry, will not be releasing the names of the alleged
00:02:30.860
I will not be publicly identifying parliamentarians who are suspected of having participated in foreign
00:02:40.700
interference activities or of having acted wittingly or unwittingly as agents of foreign states.
00:02:49.620
Canada is a state governed by the rule of law, which recognizes and protects the fundamental rights
00:02:56.960
of every individual, including the right to fully defend oneself against charges and accusation.
00:03:05.680
And in more detail, Sam Cooper wrote in the Bureau today,
00:03:08.500
The report's most critical findings suggested that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government
00:03:12.860
has failed to act on repeated intelligence warnings about specific threats from states,
00:03:17.740
including China and India, that would likely lead to criminal charges in other nations.
00:03:22.400
These warnings included cases of Canadian politicians knowingly accepting funds from foreign diplomats
00:03:30.080
It also highlighted the egregious actions of a People's Republic proxy causing the high-risk,
00:03:38.920
Citing fairness to elected officials accused of collusion and the sensitivity of classified
00:03:44.060
intelligence that could harm Canada's interests if disclosed, Hogue's decision not to reveal
00:03:48.620
the names of alleged collaborators ahead of an upcoming federal election comes amid growing
00:03:52.980
public pressure with most Canadians wanting the names to be released.
00:03:57.340
And just as Canadians aren't letting up on parliamentarians over this news today outside of the House of Commons,
00:04:03.460
Canadians on social media are sharing in that anger.
00:04:08.260
In Canada, peaceful protesters are stripped of their assets, but foreign spies in the heart of government
00:04:13.540
are completely protected. Free country or totalitarian state. Hard to tell.
00:04:20.120
What possible upside is there to keeping these names hidden?
00:04:23.360
You can keep the method of collection classified, but Canadians deserve to know who is wittingly
00:04:28.720
or unwittingly selling us out to foreign powers. The lack of accountability is staggering.
00:04:36.460
We have a looming election at any moment. Canadians deserve and need to know the names.
00:04:41.380
Otherwise, how are we to make an informed decision?
00:04:44.660
Clearly, our institutions are not on our side. We need a whistleblower, and now.
00:04:49.380
It really shouldn't surprise Canadians at this point that the federal government seems to be shielding
00:04:54.420
the names of alleged traitors. After all, the federal government has done everything possible
00:04:59.720
to avoid accountability and to avoid scrutiny on this issue. First, Justin Trudeau just denied all
00:05:05.140
calls to do anything about this. When the public pressure began to ramp up on the Justin Trudeau
00:05:09.860
government to address foreign interference, he decided to appoint David Johnston to be the
00:05:15.420
independent special rapporteur on foreign interference. David Johnston, the former governor
00:05:20.960
general and Pierre Elliott Trudeau foundation member, as well as close ski buddy of the Trudeau
00:05:26.640
family, found that there was simply nothing wrong with foreign interference in this country
00:05:30.660
and didn't recommend a formal inquiry. But the pressure continued to mount and a formal inquiry
00:05:36.900
was launched. Trudeau appointed Justice Marie-Josée Hogue to oversee the commission. And it just so
00:05:45.280
happens that Justice Hogue happened to be a partner at the same law firm, Heenan-Blakey, while Pierre
00:05:52.560
Trudeau was also a partner. Think about this specifically in the case of China. Not only does China seek to
00:05:58.760
undermine Canada's independence and sovereignty, while also seeking to undermine Canada's national security,
00:06:05.440
China is also the country supplying the chemicals that are killing tens of thousands of Canadians
00:06:10.840
across our country, waging a drug war against innocent Canadians across our country, ripping up
00:06:17.220
cities and neighborhoods, tearing families apart, destroying cities like Winnipeg, Belleville, Thunder
00:06:23.720
Bay, Coburg, and London, Ontario to say nothing at all about Toronto and Vancouver. China is our number
0.81
00:06:30.280
one enemy. And we allegedly have MPs and senators, current or former, accused of taking money and
00:06:36.800
taking bribes from China to subvert Canadian democracy. This is an outrage. Yet Canadian leaders
00:06:44.560
will likely not say a single word about this today and hope that we all forget about it. Compare that
00:06:50.080
now to the reaction we have seen in the United States and Canada surrounding the allegations
00:06:54.940
leveled against tenant media. According to a Department of Justice filing, two expat Canadians,
00:07:00.660
Lauren Chen and her husband, Liam Donovan, are accused of taking $10 million from two Russians
00:07:06.240
involved in RT, the Russian state propaganda channel, to start a conservative media channel.
00:07:12.580
One other Canadian was an unwitting participant in this allegation, and yet the CBC and left-wing
00:07:18.080
Canadian politicians have been going berserk about this story and demanding justice.
00:07:22.640
Now, I believe in the presumption of innocence, as every Canadian should. And I understand that
00:07:27.600
allegations are just that, allegations. But do you think that Canadian politicians and Canadian
00:07:32.980
journalists are treating the allegations against the tenant media founders the same way as they
00:07:37.700
are treating the allegations of unnamed current and former MPs and senators involved in allegedly
00:07:43.360
subverting Canadian democracy on behalf of China, India, and Russia? Well, I'll let you be the
0.96
00:07:49.300
judge of that. Now, this is not to minimize Russian state interference at all. The question,
00:07:54.720
however, is what should be taken more seriously? An allegation of a $10 million money laundering scheme
00:08:01.860
on behalf of the Russian state to start a conservative media channel in the United States and Canada?
00:08:07.640
Or allegations that 11 current and former MPs and senators are wittingly or unwittingly involved in
00:08:14.700
taking bribes on behalf of foreign, hostile nations to subvert Canadian democracy and Canadian
00:08:20.800
sovereignty? I really don't think I need to answer that question for you. An Anos research poll found
00:08:25.480
that 68% of Canadians want the names of the alleged traitors released. So we can see, as Canadians,
00:08:31.700
who these members of parliament are, which parties they represent, and so we can judge the evidence
00:08:36.900
for ourselves. Now, isn't it strange that the ones who constantly rail on and on about protecting and
00:08:42.400
upholding democracy are the same people who are currently protecting and defending the names of
00:08:47.900
alleged traitors who have taken money to subvert our democracy? This is not their democracy. It's
00:08:54.120
our democracy as Canadians. The Canadian people should be the ones in charge of choosing our own destiny
00:09:00.860
by way of a democratic vote with full knowledge and full confidence that our system works. You are
00:09:07.860
innocent until proven guilty in this country. That is a given. But it does feel as though there is a
00:09:12.340
double standard at play here. And the Canadian people deserve transparency and honesty. Otherwise,
00:09:18.020
our entire political system, a system which is upheld by the people's belief in that system,
00:09:24.360
will collapse, thereby achieving the ultimate aims of the hostile foreign nations who paid
0.97
00:09:29.120
parliamentarians to subvert our system. All right, everyone, that's going to do it for us today
00:09:34.480
on the show. Thank you so much for tuning in. My name is Harrison Faulkner, and this is Ratio.
