00:00:00.000 The Trudeau government pays the media to write biased news articles about global warming,
00:00:04.520 a terrorist gets to live a cozy life at a halfway house in Calgary,
00:00:08.040 and the police have it all backwards in arresting the wrong protesters when it comes to the pipeline
00:00:12.840 debate. Plus, we'll talk about fake news of the week. I'm Candace Malcolm, and this is The Candace
00:00:17.280 Malcolm Show. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the program. Thank you so much for tuning in. Once
00:00:27.080 again, we are audio only. This week, we'll still have video clips, but I am not in my studio,
00:00:31.720 so I am unable to come to you via video, but we will be continuing to put out the podcast as an
00:00:37.380 audio only version for the time being. So thank you for tuning in. If you're new to the show,
00:00:42.900 don't forget to check out tnc.news. That is our news site where you can stay up to date with all
00:00:48.540 the latest in Canadian news, politics, and everything else that's going on in the country.
00:00:54.000 And for the show, let's get right to it because we've got a couple of really interesting stories
00:00:58.540 to talk about today. Now, this isn't the fake news story of the week. I've got other stories
00:01:02.700 that are going to be the fake news, but this really is fake news. This is government-sponsored,
00:01:08.120 funded fake news. And this story is just really, really wild. So this is an exclusive
00:01:11.660 from Blacklock's Reporter, which is an investigative news site focused on what's going on in Ottawa.
00:01:18.240 So the headline says that the government pays for climate news. This is just wild.
00:01:24.000 The Department of Canadian Heritage is paying newsrooms to write climate change stories.
00:01:30.640 So there is a government fund. This is separate, by the way, from the $600 million government bailout
00:01:38.120 that Justin Trudeau announced last fall. This is separate. This is a different fund called the
00:01:42.560 Local Journalism Initiative. The federal government hands out $50 million a year. And the idea of this
00:01:49.780 fund, which I'm totally opposed to, by the way, I think the government has no business whatsoever
00:01:54.540 being involved in the media. There is no way in a free society that you should have the government
00:01:59.400 funding journalism. There needs to be a separation. There is no way that a journalist or a journalism
00:02:05.380 organization can properly criticize and hold a government to account if they are literally being
00:02:10.440 paid by that government. It is fundamentally wrong. And it makes it impossible for journalists to be honest
00:02:17.500 and to be fair and to be neutral, knowing where the bills are coming from, knowing how the bills are
00:02:22.740 paid. So this is just a terrible example. So this is a $50 million fund. Now, the idea of the fund was
00:02:28.840 supposed to be strictly local coverage of courts, city council, and school boards. So the idea is that
00:02:36.220 the local newspaper can no longer sustain itself. Those have been the hardest hit by the sort of change
00:02:41.180 in the media landscape. So no one's really holding local government to account in the same way that it
00:02:45.640 used to. So the federal government created this fund. However, however, somehow the funds were diverted
00:02:53.020 to write alarmist stories about climate change. So there are plenty of news stations of newspapers and
00:03:02.100 other media outlets that received this fund. And we know that they received it to write bias stories
00:03:07.040 about climate change, to stir up alarmism, to create a panic over the situation with regards to
00:03:14.640 greenhouse gas emissions and the changing temperature of the planet. Now, if you look at some of the
00:03:19.740 recipients of this fund, this is not fair and balanced coverage. This is wildly alarmist, alarmist
00:03:26.100 and quite partisan political coverage as well. So a publication called the Norwalk, which is a White
00:03:32.120 House periodical, wrote that, quote, it seems like British Columbia is always on fire. The Norwalk tracks
00:03:38.580 government commitment to climate change and separates the wheat from the shaft. They also wrote a
00:03:43.600 article with a headline, meet the Alberta climate activists who say they're not scared of Jason
00:03:49.900 Kenney. So there you have it, supposedly very neutral and worthy coverage, worthy of your taxpayer dollars
00:03:56.920 to go and write this alarmist nonsense. Now, of course, this small newspaper is not alone. Perhaps the most
00:04:05.080 shocking ones to receive funds from this government slush fund are the Toronto Star and the Montreal Gazette,
00:04:14.380 which were both also successful applicants. Again, both of these newspapers are likely going to get
00:04:20.260 access to the $600 million government bailout. So just how many different pots do these journalists
00:04:25.740 have their hands in? And how are Canadians supposed to look at these two organizations now, the Montreal
00:04:30.880 Gazette and the Toronto Star, both mainstream newspapers, both very much, you know, supposedly the
00:04:39.060 establishment media. Now, I wonder, do you think that they disclosed the fact that they were getting paid by Justin
00:04:45.800 Trudeau's government to write the stories that they were writing? Do you think that there was a disclosure at the
00:04:50.340 bottom of the articles that they wrote when they were writing climate change alarmism that they said, you know,
00:04:56.100 this money, the money for this article came from a Justin Trudeau grant? Of course not. Of course not.
00:05:02.060 Because the media is incredibly dishonest. The Toronto Star, the Montreal Gazette, they do not want
00:05:07.540 Canadians to know, they don't want their readers to know that they're actually being paid to write these
00:05:12.920 articles, being paid by the government. They're basically lobbyists being paid by the government to push a
00:05:18.500 certain ideological position. It is wildly, wildly dishonest. It is fake news. And honestly, if you're, if you're
00:05:25.040 reading those newspapers, if you're a subscriber to those news, I don't know how you can trust the
00:05:30.160 content that you're receiving. How do you know that it's not sponsored content from some other third
00:05:34.860 party? How do you know that the article you're reading is not paid and sponsored by, you know,
00:05:40.340 some corporate lobby group, some foreign government, some other special interest group that they're just
00:05:44.620 not telling you about? It's, it's, it's just absolutely remarkable, the state of the media, you have
00:05:50.560 people like Justin Trudeau and people like his heritage minister, you know, talking a big game
00:05:56.620 about how they believe in a free press and they believe that newspapers and journalists are vital
00:06:01.400 to a democracy. Well, how can they say that? And at the same time, be creating a bias within the media
00:06:08.240 by paying reporters to write certain stories? It's, it's, it's wild. And, you know, sadly, it's just what
00:06:15.800 we've come to expect in Canadian journals. And we know they're very biased. We know they're very left
00:06:20.080 wing. We know they're very supportive of the Trudeau government. Well, now we know, you know,
00:06:23.460 a couple of more puzzle pieces to put into the puzzle because we see just how financially tied
00:06:29.380 the two groups are. All right, let's move on. This is another wild story. Terrible, terrible story.
00:06:34.760 You know, Canada just does not know what it's doing. Canada under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau does not
00:06:39.640 know how to handle Islamist terrorists. We don't know what to do with them. We have no idea.
00:06:44.320 We let people who fought alongside ISIS come back into the country, some of whom have never been
00:06:49.600 arrested. We take a guy like Omar Khadr, a convicted al-Qaeda murderer and terrorist, someone who we've
00:06:55.540 seen videos of him building and planting roadside bombs, IEDs in Afghanistan, a person who is part of
00:07:02.380 an al-Qaeda, basically royal family. His father was close friends with Osama bin Laden, helped finance
00:07:07.820 9-11. And yet Omar Khadr gets a standing ovation at an event in Halifax. You have to check out my colleague
00:07:15.540 Andrew Lawton's coverage of this event in Halifax. It is so disturbing. It is so sad what our country has
00:07:21.900 become and how we treat a convicted terrorist and murderer compared to how we how we treat veterans, how we
00:07:27.980 treat people who have actually gone and fought against people like Omar Khadr, put their lives at risk and
00:07:33.760 sometimes made huge sacrifices to protect us from the Omar Khadr's of the world. And yet we give in
00:07:41.440 Canada, Omar Khadr gets a standing ovation. Justin Trudeau gives the guy $10 million. He's flying first
00:07:46.860 class. He's flying first class. And meanwhile, there are homeless vets sleeping on the streets. It's just
00:07:53.340 awful how backwards we have it. Now, that's not the story I want to talk about. But this is just
00:07:57.800 another symptom of the same problem. So this is a story that comes to us from the Ottawa Sun. There's
00:08:05.020 also a story on tnc.news that you can check out now. Here it is ISIS terrorist living in Calgary,
00:08:11.900 despite being an exceptional threat to public safety. So this guy Carlos Lamon was sent to jail in 2016
00:08:19.520 after trying to leave Canada to fight for ISIS. He is an ISIS sympathizer and a wannabe terrorist from
00:08:26.020 Ottawa. Now, this guy is just a real loser. I'm going to I'm just going to say it flat out. He is
00:08:30.800 a total loser. Him and his twin brother were basically like low level drug dealers in Ottawa,
00:08:37.000 just total losers. And then they just they discovered ISIS, they converted to Islam, and they
00:08:42.900 became lunatics. I mean, they were probably lunatics beforehand. But they tried to go and they tried to
00:08:48.920 leave Canada. They did leave Canada, sorry. And they tried to fight for ISIS. So this guy Carlos,
00:08:53.560 he was arrested in 2015, when he was trying to get on a plane to join ISIS, he went to prison. And while
00:09:00.700 in prison, he was accused of trying to radicalize other inmates. He spent time in a special handling
00:09:06.540 unit, which is the most maximum security of the prisons in Canada because of the danger that he
00:09:11.700 posed to others. And one parole member described Lamon's threat level as exceptional. He posed an
00:09:18.160 exceptional threat to Canada's public safety. Okay, yet somehow, this guy is living in Calgary,
00:09:25.440 he's living in a halfway house, he has a great deal of freedom. This is everything that's wrong with
00:09:31.640 Canada's justice system and the way that we handle basically people who commit treason, traitors,
00:09:36.920 people who try to join the enemy, who want to join the enemy and killing and bringing down Western
00:09:42.080 civilization. It's again, this is what can you even say about a story like this, like, like,
00:09:49.400 everything that Canada is doing when it comes to combating Islamist terrorism, combating ISIS,
00:09:54.300 dealing with all of those young people, young men and women who left Canada, sort of the height
00:09:59.300 of ISIS propaganda when when they were dominating on social media, and the world didn't really know
00:10:04.340 how to handle it. I'm talking about 2014 2015, a bunch of people left Canada, went over there,
00:10:10.460 estimates are that around 160, maybe 200 people went over to join ISIS, some of them were killed,
00:10:18.520 some of them disappeared, some of them might have gone back to, you know, their home original
00:10:22.740 Islamic country that they were originally from. And you know, some of them are now trying to get back
00:10:29.140 into Canada, there was one story that was told through a New York Times podcast called Caliphate
00:10:35.600 about a guy who's living with his parents in a Toronto suburb going to a Canadian university. So
00:10:42.460 he was going to a publicly subsidized university after he had admitted to going and fighting for
00:10:48.420 ISIS. He not only fought for ISIS, he was an executioner. He described in detail in this podcast
00:10:53.820 about how he murdered people, how he tortured people, how he was an imposer of Sharia law.
00:11:00.820 And yet, this guy is just living in Canada. Well, this is a similar case. So when it comes to this
00:11:08.160 guy, Lamond, he basically after credit for time served in pre custody, he was sentenced to five
00:11:15.200 years back in 2016. But he was freed under a law that requires federal offenders to be released after
00:11:21.160 serving two thirds of a fixed sentence. And the statutory release law, the offenders served the rest of
00:11:26.520 their sentence in the community. So that's what's happening now. That's what's happening now.
00:11:30.540 The release was not granted by the parole board, though it has power to impose these conditions.
00:11:36.840 But in Lamond's case, the parole board stipulated that he live at a halfway house with a curfew and
00:11:42.700 no overnight privileges. He has to submit to police checks to review his phone for its search history.
00:11:49.100 If he does not breach these conditions, he's scheduled to release, be released next year in 2021.
00:11:54.280 So, you know, the guy gets a slap on the wrist. He goes to prison. He's violent. He's trying to
00:11:58.900 convert people. He is a just completely brainwashed in the Islamic extremism, as is his twin brother,
00:12:08.340 who is named Ashton, who is similarly arrested in Ottawa around the same time. He was sentenced to 17
00:12:14.260 years in prison. So the RCMP's case against the twins involved wiretap and informant provided body
00:12:21.140 wire evidence. The evidence revealed in particular disturbing thoughts and plans by Ashton, the group's
00:12:27.120 leader. So I mean, these guys, these guys are just full on ISIS terrorists are talking about how they
00:12:32.660 would plan attacks, how they would kill people if they were, if they were leading the attacks, they
00:12:37.600 talked about how they hate infidels and how they also hate imams who promote modern Islam or more
00:12:45.400 secular, peaceful versions of Islam. And basically, that these just guys just wanted to, you know,
00:12:53.100 join ISIS and kill everyone, kill, kill, kill Canadians. And yet we have this guy living in a
00:13:00.080 halfway house. You know, this is just an example of how Canada under Justin Trudeau does not take
00:13:05.040 threat of terrorism seriously. Justin Trudeau believes that every terrorist is just, you know,
00:13:10.720 someone with hurt feelings who've been misunderstood. And all they need is to go into therapy to go into
00:13:16.680 counseling, to basically to be given a big hug, and, you know, hug it out, say you're sorry, and then
00:13:22.740 you can come back and join society. You know, he's just wildly naive when it comes to the ideology that
00:13:31.120 drives terrorism, the ideology that recruits young men into this, you know, this isn't just a feeling of
00:13:37.140 being left out. This is truly, truly an evil worldview that is based on domination is based on on dominating
00:13:45.340 the world, accumulating power and asserting that power over others, and based on a theocratic worldview
00:13:52.780 and adhering to sort of, you know, seventh century ideals about the world. So very backwards way of
00:14:00.400 thinking. And again, Justin Trudeau and his Canadian, the Canadian federal government is just so naive
00:14:05.740 in the way that we deal with terrorists. All right, let's move on. I've been covering this on the show
00:14:12.200 recently. There's been all kinds of demonstrations across the entire country about the coastal gas
00:14:18.200 link pipeline. So just to bring it up to speed, the pipeline has been approved, but the chiefs of the
00:14:23.980 Wet'suwet'en tribe, the hereditary chiefs, are opposed to it. So they have been doing a sort of strike
00:14:30.680 trying to block the pipeline, and there have been sort of solidarity protests across the country in
00:14:36.380 really just the worst kind of ways. I mean, if you really want to turn public opinion against your
00:14:40.640 cause, block the Via Rail, block the train between Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto. They blocked it
00:14:47.440 between Ottawa and Toronto, which just completely ruined so many people's commute, their ability
00:14:52.260 to go to work, to see their families, to go on vacation. I mean, all the things that the country
00:14:58.520 relies on, just being able to transport things and move. These protesters blocked the Via Rail pipeline,
00:15:04.820 causing just absolute chaos in and around Toronto. That's really, you know, the easiest way just to turn
00:15:10.440 everyday people, everyday Canadians against your cause. Well, there were more of these sort of
00:15:15.480 barriers and roadblocks. One incident that is sort of making the rounds on social media
00:15:21.400 was a group of protesters who blocked a highway. So they blocked exit 117 of Highway 19 on Vancouver
00:15:30.040 Island near Courtney. So this is the Inland Island Highway. This is a major freeway that takes you
00:15:34.940 from Victoria all the way up to Nanaimo, then up to Courtney and Campbell River. So I mean, this is
00:15:40.260 this is like a major trucking road, a major through fare. And a bunch of protesters decided, hey, let's
00:15:47.640 block this highway, let's block the exit as a way to sort of sort of show solidarity, solidarity with these
00:15:56.740 fringe protesters with the fringe hand, small handful of members of this First Nations community that
00:16:04.660 oppose the pipeline. And so basically, I'll show the video because it's pretty wild. So you have these
00:16:11.180 sort of Antifa type protesters who have blocked the freeway, and then a couple of sort of counter
00:16:18.100 protesters, I would call them like good Samaritans or pro Canadians who showed up and decided to,
00:16:24.840 you know, enough is enough, and remove the garbage that was blocking the exit, remove it, kind of let
00:16:31.780 the road open back up again. And it's just wild. It's just wild, because the police end up arresting
00:16:39.400 the man who was clearing the the blockade. So if in Canada right now, this is the state of the world
00:16:46.680 in 2020, under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, if you block a freeway, a major freeway that's preventing
00:16:53.820 people from again, going home from work, seeing their families getting to their loved ones, you know,
00:16:59.640 maybe getting to going to who knows what what things people would have missed because of these blockades,
00:17:06.140 unable to, you know, make it to an important birthday party, unable to make it to school to write an important
00:17:11.200 test, unable to make it to an important sporting event, a grandparents birthday, the birth of a baby. I mean,
00:17:17.000 you can just imagine all of the different scenarios that have been prevented because of these protesters
00:17:23.060 who don't respect the rule of law, they don't respect Canadian society, and they're basically
00:17:27.200 having a temper tantrum, basically having a temper tantrum, saying, no, no, no, none of you can do
00:17:32.840 all the things that you want to do in your life, that in a free society you expect to be able to do.
00:17:37.380 No, no, no, you can't do that, because I don't like what other people are doing, and how other people
00:17:42.200 are, I don't like the jobs that other people have because of my beliefs about climate change. I mean,
00:17:48.780 I mean, really just the height of, just a lack of gratitude and total spoiled brat syndrome. And so
00:17:56.340 people create the barricade, someone comes and says, enough is enough, I'm going to take it down,
00:18:00.920 and the person who takes it down is the one that gets arrested. The police have it all backwards,
00:18:06.060 it's just so disturbing to see this happen. You know, the rule of law is supposed to triumph,
00:18:13.020 the rule of law is supposed to be the trump card, at the end of the day, we all follow the same laws
00:18:17.060 as how we live in a society. But here we have people breaking law, they get rewarded, nothing bad
00:18:22.000 happens to them. Someone who's kind of trying to take it on themselves to say, no, no, no,
00:18:26.160 this freeway needs to be open, we need to allow cars to go through, that's the person that gets
00:18:30.860 arrested. Let's play this clip. So it's sort of a long clip, I'll walk you through parts of it,
00:18:34.940 it's a two minute clip, I'm going to play the whole thing, but I'll break it up and just explain
00:18:38.920 things throughout. So the first little bit here, you can just see the sort of the blockade that
00:18:44.140 has been created, it kind of just looks like a campsite with a bunch of garbage. And you can
00:18:47.680 see the sort of crazy fringe signs that these individuals have, it says no pipelines. And then
00:18:53.740 the other one says, it says no justice on stolen land. And they basically just have like, you know,
00:18:59.360 a bunch of tires, you know, tents, bikes, bags, just a bunch of garbage, basically, blocking the road
00:19:07.800 and sort of doing this political theater, but you know, also preventing people from just going about
00:19:13.160 their lives, because they're blocking a major freeway. And then these these guys show up. And
00:19:18.600 well, first, you can see a truck just sort of, you know, drive right through it, a guy in a pickup
00:19:24.780 truck, just sort of plow right through their dumb little sign. And they, you know, they get upset
00:19:30.700 and whatever, but the guy wants to go on his way. And then we come back. And we see these other guys.
00:19:37.200 And they're just, you know, enough is enough picking up the garbage and throwing it on the
00:19:41.080 side of the road. There's a group of them. And they've got masks on too. And you can see the RCMP
00:19:47.080 kind of following them around, talking to them.
00:19:54.000 The democratic process, it's not as simple as you think it is. Okay, it is. No, it's not. You know,
00:19:59.500 it is. Your hands are tied. Mine aren't. If it was simple, we would have already done it already.
00:20:03.160 I know it's not simple for you. I do understand that. I do understand that.
00:20:06.500 You're taking the easy route of arresting us. It's less of us than them.
00:20:08.920 So here they get into a little bit of a debate where the police officer says, you know, it's not as
00:20:12.860 simple as you think. If it was simple, we would have solved it already. Well, I actually think it
00:20:17.000 is pretty simple. You know, you have these people that are protesting, but they're also
00:20:21.600 blocking a critical piece of infrastructure on Vancouver Island, a major freeway that connects
00:20:26.980 two cities. So, you know, it's pretty simple. You just arrest the protesters. You stop them
00:20:32.560 from doing their little political show. You say, okay, you know, you made your point. You can't do
00:20:36.980 this anymore. You can't disrupt people from going about their lives and arrest those people. But no,
00:20:41.520 no, the police say, oh, it's complicated. What's so complicated about it? What's so complicated
00:20:45.720 about it? Let's keep playing this.
00:20:47.260 All right. Then you see the same protesters coming back out and once again, blocking the highway.
00:21:10.700 They have tires. They have wooden pallets that they've built up. And so the guy goes once again,
00:21:16.760 the same guy that goes once again to try to clear the road to allow vehicles to go through. And that's
00:21:22.460 when the police officer, I guess, says enough is enough. And this is where he arrests them. This is
00:21:26.560 just shocking. So the guy that gets arrested here, you can see he has a shirt on that says,
00:21:45.500 I support BC forestry. So, you know, again, this is probably just a working guy, a guy that's own
00:21:52.060 livelihood is being threatened by the far left fringe environmentalists who, again, get the
00:21:56.820 heckler's veto and get to run amok and really, really destroy, potentially destroy his personal
00:22:04.040 livelihood, but destroy so many people's livelihoods because they don't personally believe in, you know,
00:22:10.200 working people having resource jobs. They don't believe in the resources, even though they're all
00:22:14.220 hypocrites, because of course they all consume, you know, in this case, it's an oil pipeline. So they,
00:22:19.100 of course, all consume the products that are produced through petroleum. And this is kind
00:22:24.460 of amusing because she's saying, one of the protesters are saying, don't touch my sacred
00:22:29.560 items. Don't touch my sacred items. Well, I'm sorry, if these items were truly sacred, then why
00:22:34.420 would you put them on the freeway? I mean, I mean, if you had items that you believe were sacred,
00:22:39.220 sacred, you know, not, not just like personally important or valuable or whatever, but supposedly
00:22:43.480 sacred, they're sacred. And yet you put them on the middle of the freeway and you expect no one to
00:22:48.440 touch them. I mean, these people are just so out of touch and so insane. And yet the police are
00:22:53.680 arresting the wrong person. They're arresting the wrong person. And again, this is the problem in
00:22:58.780 Canada. This is why we can't have nice things. This is why we can't get anything done because you have
00:23:03.740 the RCP. Now, I don't blame this individual officer. You know, clearly he's just following
00:23:08.180 orders. The problem is the orders. The problem is the police, the higher ups in the RCMP have total
00:23:14.800 wrong priority, the wrong focus. And so they allow stuff like this to happen. They arrest what I see
00:23:20.180 is a good Samaritan who is trying to clear the freeway and they allow the lunatic fringe left
00:23:24.840 environmentalists, environmentalists and protesters who are blocking infrastructure. They allow them to
00:23:31.140 just carry right on. All right, moving on, let's do fake news of the week. So this week, our fake news
00:23:37.660 award goes to the CBC and their coverage of the same issue, the coverage of the Wet'suwet'en hereditary
00:23:44.900 chief's protest against the coastal gas link pipeline, which is just been wildly, wildly one-sided.
00:23:51.780 It's so bad that even a CBC reporter went on a different CBC show to talk about how biased their
00:23:59.040 own reporting has been on the topic. So I mentioned this during my show on Monday about how the media just
00:24:06.040 love to go to the small handful of First Nations protesters and they like to say, you know, these
00:24:12.300 people represent the entire First Nations community in Canada. They're the worst at this. And I'm not
00:24:18.200 telling you the full story. The truth of the matter is that 20 elected First Nation groups along the pipeline
00:24:24.440 route have signed on to this pipeline. And they're actually eager because of the benefit and the job
00:24:30.840 opportunities of the pipeline. Now, there have been so many people, so many First Nations leaders,
00:24:36.040 and people who have spoken out to say, no, no, no, this pipeline is vital. It's important. The jobs,
00:24:41.900 the opportunities, the hope that it creates, the benefits will lift so many communities out of
00:24:47.060 poverty. So don't listen to sort of the squeaky wheel, which is the protest, the chiefs that are
00:24:52.960 protesting, you know, listen to the broader community, go out and talk to First Nations people.
00:24:57.480 And there's so many really powerful moving clips that I found on social media. I'm going to play part of
00:25:03.100 one in a moment here. But first, let me just read some of these headlines that have come from the
00:25:09.380 CBC. So if you read the CBC, if you consume your media from the state broadcaster, you would see
00:25:15.260 headlines like this. Winnipeg protesters lock arms in support of Wet'suwet'en fighting BC pipelines,
00:25:22.400 arrests in Wet'suwet'en territory, spark nationwide solidarity protests and support for the Wet'suwet'en
00:25:30.960 sparks nationwide action. Now, the problem is that that just because a few people from this community
00:25:37.220 protest against it doesn't even mean that that entire Wet'suwet'en community is against the
00:25:42.000 pipeline. Because as I showed in the last episode, so many people from that community, including leaders
00:25:46.700 within the community, support the pipeline. And so, as I mentioned, it's been so bad, it's been so biased
00:25:53.040 over at the CBC that their own reporter had to reluctantly point it out. So here is John Paul Tasker
00:26:00.040 speaking to Vassi Capellos on CBC.
00:26:02.980 I just want to be careful about painting First Nations people as a monolith, as a block that just
00:26:08.340 all stand against any sort of development. I think we tend to do that in the news media,
00:26:11.960 to go to one group and think that it represents a larger community. As Negan mentioned, all the
00:26:17.420 Indian Act ban councils, all 20 of them in the area supported this. Whether that's legitimate or not,
00:26:22.800 maybe it's to be debated. But they had referendums in some of these communities. People had a chance
00:26:27.440 to vote. And many of them stood on the side of supporting coastal gas. This is not just something
00:26:32.520 that their leadership came up with. It also went to the people to make a call. Not to discount the
00:26:37.940 hereditary chiefs and their role in all this, but the courts and federal government, the provincial
00:26:41.360 governments are turning to the elected ban councils for guidance on all this. That's why the BC
00:26:46.360 Superior Court issued that injunction in the first place, because they said that we have to rely on
00:26:51.420 what the ban councils have done, not on these hereditary chiefs. And that's why they're hauling
00:26:55.740 people away from this site. Wow, that is some shocking honesty. Shocking honesty. You don't
00:27:00.200 usually see that kind of honesty and self-reflection over at the CBC. So I'll hand it to John Paul
00:27:07.080 Tasker for at least being honest about it. But I mean, if you just go through the actual coverage
00:27:12.080 that CBC has been pumping out, they're not listening to the advice of that reporter.
00:27:17.080 They are doing exactly what he says that Numenia shouldn't do, which is, you know, taking a few
00:27:22.080 people and presuming that they represent the entire group. But we know that they don't.
00:27:26.080 We have plenty of plenty of evidence showing that they do not represent the broader group,
00:27:30.680 that First Nations people support the pipeline. Here is a courageous Indigenous leader called
00:27:36.080 Ellis Bross, who really has the courage to speak up. He does a series of sort of selfie videos from his
00:27:44.080 car. And, you know, he's just really fed up with the people who are proclaiming to speak
00:27:49.080 for Aboriginal people, because as he points out, they don't really care about what happens to young
00:27:54.080 people who won't have any hope, won't have any economic opportunities if these projects continue
00:28:00.080 to get delayed and shut down by protesters, by the fringe far left environmentalists. So let's
00:28:05.080 listen to this is a really powerful, powerful speech that he gave about what happens to young men when
00:28:10.080 there aren't economic opportunities.
00:28:12.080 I can guarantee you right now, there's a 14 year old Aboriginal kid that's taken his first drink
00:28:18.080 alcohol. He's sucking on his first joint. He's gonna maybe go into cocaine, he's gonna do something.
00:28:26.080 And he's on his way to prison. That's his roadmap. If you save that kid, if you show that kid there's a
00:28:33.080 better future out there, get him into a trade or get into a course or show him a worksite and show
00:28:38.080 him there's a better future in terms of getting a house, a job, going on vacation, buying a truck, you've
00:28:44.080 done your job. I guarantee you those activists and those politicians that are going to stop the
00:28:50.080 development in your territory, they do not care about that 14 year old kid. They do not care. They
00:28:56.080 could care less.
00:28:57.080 So that is a very powerful message from Ellis Brock. And that's the kind of voice that the media is just not showing.
00:29:02.080 They're not showing these voices of people in the First Nations community that have had enough with the
00:29:07.080 protesters, had enough with the fringe, far left. Environmentalists who have just taken the entire
00:29:12.080 system hostage, made us all into pawns, made it seem like they speak for all Aboriginals and all First
00:29:18.080 Nations people. Well, they really don't. The media should show the full side of the story, which would
00:29:23.080 include more voices, more brave voices like Ellis Brock. You know, at least the CBC, at least one reporter
00:29:29.080 in the CBC realizes it. But you really can't trust the CBC to provide a fair and balanced
00:29:34.080 perspective on this issue. I mean, it's getting pretty bleak in Canada, folks. You look at the
00:29:39.080 newspapers. They're in the bag, in the pockets of Justin Trudeau. He's paying them left, right and
00:29:44.080 centre. If it's not his media bailout fund, it's this ridiculous global warming fund that they've put
00:29:49.080 together. And then when it comes to, you know, pushing forward for the sort of major infrastructure
00:29:54.080 projects in the country, whether it is the new tech frontier mine up in Fort McMurray that the
00:30:01.080 government is flip-flopping about whether or not they're going to allow it to be built, or this
00:30:04.080 pipeline, which is kind of just creating this mass hysteria and these fringe protesters who are
00:30:09.080 pretending to speak for entire communities that they really don't speak for. You know, and then you have the
00:30:15.080 CBC only telling one side of the story. It's pretty bleak out there. There are not a lot of trustworthy
00:30:20.080 news sites, which is why, again, I thank you for tuning into this podcast. Thank you for supporting
00:30:25.080 True North. And don't forget to check out all of our news up there at tnc.news. Thank you so much.
00:30:32.080 And we will be back again next week. I'm Candice Malcolm and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.
