00:03:27.920And, you know, a lot of us can't really, we don't have the stomach to sit on TikTok or go through
00:03:34.380all the latest happenings on Twitter. So much of the media now, it's driven from Twitter. It's all
00:03:40.040just kind of insider stuff that's rolled up on Twitter. And, you know, it's really a trying
00:03:47.180experience just to spend a lot of time on the site. So it's so good for you to have the patience
00:03:51.540to do that and pull out the best of the worst every week as well. So encourage folks to check
00:03:57.300out ratio. It's going to air every Thursday for the summer and beyond. So excited about that.
00:04:04.620We've got lots of other new podcasts and new shows coming out at True North. We have one that's
00:04:10.820almost ready to announce the launch of it. It's really exciting. We have Rupa Supermania doing
00:04:15.540her own show. Andrew Lawton's here. We have Sue Ann Levy doing videos for us. Anthony Fury is
00:04:21.020back to the video. So lots of content, lots to keep you informed throughout the summer. Well,
00:04:26.260I am away with my family. Harrison, let's just get to it because we have a lot to cover. I know
00:04:33.300you and Andrew Lawton touched on this series of polling results last week, but I want to get it
00:04:39.960to again. Our friends over at Abacus Data, the sort of liberal, big L, partisan liberal shop
00:04:45.900run by Bruce Anderson, who's a liberal insider, and David Coletto, who's a pollster. They have
00:04:51.840a new series of polls that they've done. And basically, you know, so the fourth one came
00:04:58.780up this week and here's a headline. It says millions of Canadians believe the U.S. election
00:05:02.360was stolen from Trump. And basically they pulled 1,500 Canadians online. And what they determined
00:05:11.840was that millions of Canadians must believe in this idea that the election was stolen from Trump.
00:05:18.000Another 29% think it's possible, but aren't sure. And they classify this as just like a flat out conspiracy theory. They look at other questions they asked. Apparently one in five Canadians think it's definitely or probably true that 9-11 was an inside attack. 18% of Canadians say that the royal family killed Princess Diana.
00:05:39.660uh so so so and and then also they have their climate change is a hoax i i first of all the
00:05:46.880the line of questioning that they have on these is is so leading right in the world of journalism
00:05:52.060we call it leading like like you you can sit here and be very skeptical of the integrity of the u.s
00:05:57.360election system very very skeptical of all of the institutions that work together to change the
00:06:02.440rules to bury media stories to hide the hunter-biden laptop story you can look at all of those things
00:06:08.040and say you know i'm going to draw the conclusion that the powers that be conspired to make sure
00:06:13.000that trump wasn't elected um and and that and that's different than someone who believes that
00:06:17.720say uh you know that the ballots were stolen or that there was something some kind of a mass
00:06:23.880overlying conspiracy so so so the question is just kind of vague enough that you could get people
00:06:29.720answering yes without necessarily being a conspiracy theorist right i think there's a
00:06:33.720room for disagreement, even amongst conservative circles over the extent to which the last election
00:06:39.640in the US was fair. But here they are, you know, throwing it right out there,
00:06:43.480saying that the millions of Canadians believe in these in these conspiracy theories. And,
00:06:48.360and, you know, and then the other thing you do is they layer it in. So they match up how many of
00:06:53.320these people also vote for conservatives and trying to say, like, if you're a peer poly of
00:06:58.440supporter, you're way more likely to believe in these in these outlandish conspiracy theories,
00:07:02.920trying again to sort of undermine Pierre Polyev, undermine the kind of people who might support him
00:07:07.440and vote for him. And to me, I just, it's so frustrating. It's so, you know, this is the
00:07:14.000fourth week in a row that we have one of these, the same exact conclusion, this idea. I mean,
00:07:18.720come on, even the idea that one in five Canadians is what, a 9-11 truther. I have to say, 9-11
00:07:25.240truthers that I've spoken to and talked to, they're usually not conservatives. They're usually
00:07:28.980on the left and they are very, you know, anti-Israel or anti-George W. Bush. So it doesn't
00:07:34.900even make sense. And of course, they don't show how many of these overlap with liberal voters or
00:07:39.180NDP voters or green voters who are probably the biggest conspiracy theorists of all. This is just
00:07:44.060hackery masquerading as journalism or as neutral polling. What do you think, Harrison?
00:07:50.520Well, Candace, it's exactly that, which is just designed to pin Canadians against each other.
00:07:56.320It's designed for the liberals to use as a way to demonize conservatives and to especially demonize Pierre Polyev, who is seeming to run away with the conservative leadership race.
00:08:07.520Of course, they tie it into who would vote for Pierre Polyev.
00:08:10.880They, of course, don't show who would vote for the liberals or who would vote for the Greens.
00:08:16.440And the problem is, Candace, is when abacus data releases these polls, journalists who should know better, who should be able to see through this stuff in journalism school, they teach us all about polls and methodology and how it works and how it represents, how it's supposed to represent a population.
00:08:32.160we see these articles popping up in the national post throughout this series of abacus data polls
00:08:37.380the canadian press will pick it up and then of course when it gets put in the canadian press
00:08:42.520as we've talked about week after week i find on the show it ends up getting syndicated across
00:08:47.180the country so they're using these polls to attack canadians it's canada bashing that's
00:08:52.780what i said last week and i hold i hold that when i when i read these these again this is just a way
00:08:57.420to pin Canadians against each other. It's a way to make Canadians or convince them that they are
00:09:03.280conspiracy theorists or, or try and try and basically, yeah, convince them that they are
00:09:08.240not, you know, they're not part of the majority or, or that, or that some grand, large number of
00:09:13.120Canadians are, are conspiracy theorists. It's, it's disgusting stuff. It's, it's really the
00:09:17.780lowest of the low and there's no public interest behind this polling. This is all designed to prop
00:09:23.240up and benefit liberals at the expense of everyday Canadians, who frankly, and quite likely,
00:09:29.340because I'm not exactly sure, they don't make it clear, but quite likely are not even polled
00:09:32.600correctly. How many times have we seen polling companies like this fail to actually poll accurately,
00:09:38.380fail to poll real hardworking average Canadians? They end up finding urban centers or they find
00:09:45.900those that don't really represent the population. That I think is what we're looking at here. And
00:09:51.320it's disappointing that journalists aren't seeing through it and knowing better.
00:09:55.240Well, I think it's like one step even more devious and evil, Harrison, because it's like
00:10:00.020Bruce Anderson and David Coletta, look, we all know this is a liberal pollster shop. Bruce
00:10:04.080Anderson is a sort of former journalist, used to be the host of the at issue panel, or sorry,
00:10:09.060a panelist of the at issue panel on CBC, the sort of like flagship obnoxious, you know, Andrew Coyne,
00:10:15.100Althea Raj, Chantelle Ibert, and it used to be Bruce Anderson up there as well with Rosemary
00:10:19.800barton and then he he stepped back because his stepdaughter was sort of one of justin trudeau's
00:10:26.680like inside most trusted employees so so this is kate purchase who is um you know this mclean's
00:10:33.800article here meet the woman who crafts justin trudeau's image uh communication director and
00:10:39.560justin trudeau's pmo k purchase his job is to make her boss look good this was back in 2018 she's no
00:10:45.720no longer in this role. But still, the point remains that the Trudeau liberals are closely
00:10:52.140aligned with this polling shop. And so the idea that they are creating this news, like this is
00:10:58.060news that's just been created out of thin air. They're like, hey, let's go poll Canadians and
00:11:01.720find out how dangerous their views are and how extreme they are and how racist they are and how
00:11:07.780crazy they are. It's all pre-positioning so the Trudeau government can come up with their
00:11:11.920position saying, hey, guys, we need to internet. We need to regulate the internet. If we don't
00:11:15.720regulate the internet, look at how much more divided our society will be. Look at all these
00:11:20.120crazy people. There's just going to become more craziness, more instability. And it's all working
00:11:25.120in lockstep with Trudeau to further his policy agenda. But I think what they're doing is really,
00:11:32.120really dangerous because what they're also doing, Harrison, is telling Canadians not to trust their
00:11:37.580neighbor, not to trust their fellow compatriots, saying, you know, that that person that you think
00:11:42.720you're friends with, that co-worker or someone that you see at the coffee shop every day or
00:11:47.120something, you know, your friend, your kid's parent, your kid's friend's parent. These people
00:11:52.780are probably racist. They probably have a conspiracy laden worldview. They probably believe
00:11:59.240that the election was stolen for Donald Trump. They probably support Donald Trump. We saw this
00:12:02.700as a story that came out last week from the same pollsters, the same series, legacy media claims
00:12:07.560uh 40 so so sorry the national post headline says millions of canadians believe in a white
00:12:13.080replacement theory millions of canadians see the same same polling company their abacus data and
00:12:21.620again they surveyed 1500 people online and they extrapolate from that that millions of canadians
00:12:25.900must be racist must be racist and uh the the the way that they got that theory i know you talked
00:12:32.420about this last week with andrew lawton um but the the question was that one third of canadians
00:12:36.640believe in the so-called white replacement theory that 37% of respondents representing 11 million
00:12:41.760Canadians agreed with this statement. This was the statement that they were asked whether they
00:12:45.240agreed with or not. There is a group of people in this country who are trying to replace native-born
00:12:51.040Canadians with immigrants who agree with their political views. Okay, so the first part of that
00:12:56.820question, there are a group of people in this country who are trying to replace native-born
00:12:59.460Canadians. I mean, that would just be like the immigration department, right? Like the group of
00:13:04.640people is the politicians, the liberals who are in power, who have drastically increased our
00:13:09.640immigration levels, trying to replace native-born Canadians with immigrants who agree with their
00:13:14.140political views. I mean, that's, again, up for interpretation. The part of this statement
00:13:18.440that doesn't make sense with the headline, Harrison, is that it doesn't say anything
00:13:21.960about skin color, right? That the question doesn't include the word white or make any mention of a
00:13:27.860person's ethnicity or skin color, but then they sort of editorialize and extrapolate to mean that
00:13:33.480they must agree with a white replacement theory, which is the racist ideology that the Buffalo
00:13:38.740shooter used or subscribed to or pushed when he did his massacre. So, so, so, so they're taking
00:13:44.660a statement that is sort of vaguely worded, that, that has some truth to it that many Canadians
00:13:50.060would relate to. And then they're saying, if you agree with this statement, then you must agree
00:13:56.080with this white terrorists. Like it's, it's such a jump and it's so dishonest. And again, all it
00:14:01.080does is turn Canadians against each other. Because really, you're walking down the street,
00:14:05.260you think, wow, you know, one in three Canadians is a crazy racist who supports white terrorism,
00:14:12.300essentially. That's what that's what they're saying. I mean, it's so wild. It's so irresponsible
00:14:16.060that the extent that they will go to win an election to allow Justin Trudeau to push forth
00:14:22.040his agenda, like the fact that people in the media are going along with this, that this is being
00:14:25.820quoted that this is being pushed harrison i find it i just find it like disappointing on so many
00:14:31.500levels but also like truly truly dangerous uh really really bad stuff here what's your thought
00:14:37.580what are your thoughts completely and the the headline from the national post is is disgusting
00:14:42.140there's no other way to describe it really it's it's canada bashing as i said and the headline
00:14:46.460should read it should read millions of canadians were tricked into agreeing to a question designed
00:14:52.700to convince other canadians that they are racist that's what it really should read right candace
00:14:57.180but of course this was all cooked up from the start we're going to trick canadians we're going
00:15:01.340to we're going to make sure that we get the result we need we're going to make sure we get the
00:15:04.700headline we need and everyone's going to come to our polling company and look at our look at our
00:15:08.620data it's it's it's horrible and journalists should know better journalists should know better
00:15:14.540the headline is not should not read millions of canadians it should be it should if they should
00:15:19.500when you make such an accusation like that, it should basically make it clear that it was 500
00:15:25.020people who responded to a 1,500-person survey. That is not, you cannot tell me that that is
00:15:31.060representative of the country. And when you do that, it's just, you're engineering a result.
00:15:37.760You're creating a synthetic result that is designed to convince people, like you said,
00:15:43.680Candace, that your neighbor is a racist, that your neighbor is a conspiracy theorist.
00:15:46.940It's horrible stuff. And journalists should know better. But we know now that the quality we expect of our journalists is wrong. We should we should basically be expecting, you know, first year level university age writing, not not professional, legitimate and respectful journalism. That's just not what we're going to get from these guys.
00:16:07.760Well, yeah, like I would see that question and say, okay, a third of Canadians don't agree with our immigration levels or a third of the Canadians are mistrustful of Justin Trudeau when it comes to his agenda behind immigration. Like, I wouldn't like, you know, try to layer on some, some commentary about race and ethnicity when that was not in the question. It's, it's crazy. And, you know, the whole series, again, not to belabor it, but it's designed to point out that Canadians don't really trust our institutions.
00:16:36.420I know there was other stories about how trust in media is at an all-time low that Canadians don't
00:16:40.660trust the institutions. And rather than these elitists and these experts who run these institutions,
00:16:45.940who see themselves as sort of the gatekeepers of these institutions, rather than taking pause,
00:16:50.260Harrison, and saying, okay, what are we doing? What are we doing wrong? What are we doing
00:16:54.420that is turning Canadians against us and making Canadians not trust the institutions that they
00:16:58.500used to trust? Instead, they sort of hold the mirror back up and say, this is the public's
00:17:02.660fault like we blame the public and i mean you can see this like daryl butts who used to be justin
00:17:08.100trudeau's sort of inside man and he he was thrown under the bus over the whole we charity scandal
00:17:13.860uh was it the we charity or was it the snc level i can't keep track i think it was snc no sorry it
00:17:18.260was the jody was earlier so many scandals harrison yeah can't keep track he was he was thrown under
00:17:23.140the bus uh after one of the big scandals and uh but he's still he's still around and he's still
00:17:29.060doing dirty work for justin trudeau he put out on twitter something that was kind of deranged he
00:17:34.580tried to blame true north our organization for the lack of trust in the media so so he writes
00:17:41.460uh this thread goes a long way towards explaining why trust in the media has fallen so precipitously
00:17:46.580in canada especially on the right great research hashtag fake news so that's kind of funny calling
00:17:52.500us fake news and we're pointing it out on fake news friday uh no derald butts uh well first of all
00:17:59.060I don't understand your point as to how True North existing and providing an alternative perspective on things and providing a news organization that provides fact-based journalism but also has a conservative editorial position, how that would undermine Canadians' trust of the legacy media.
00:18:17.800like we exist because of that we exist because canadians don't trust the legacy media they're
00:18:23.400looking for other alternatives and true north is here we're funded entirely by people who support
00:18:29.800our work and our journalism we're funded entirely by canadian i don't think we have any donors from
00:18:34.040outside of canada it's all canadian people funding our work and somehow that is a sign of explaining
00:18:43.160why trust in the media is gone like he's got he's got completely backwards right it's like
00:18:46.360we're not the ones that are undermining trust in the media. You guys are doing that all on your
00:18:50.320own, right? We're just here pointing it out, shining a light back on you. And Canadians
00:18:55.640are coming to us instead because they want a different perspective. They want more truth
00:19:00.600in the media. They don't think that the media is trying to truth. And then Joe Abus gives a link
00:19:05.600to this crazy, crazy leftist activist. First of all, this crazy activist put out this Twitter
00:19:11.560thread about it. It's totally unhinged. It's not even accurate at all about True North. It's not
00:19:16.240even our logo. You know, this is an anonymous bot troll who can barely write a coherent thought
00:19:22.820together on Twitter. She has this long deranged Twitter thread that's totally factually incorrect.
00:19:28.020And it's from like over a year ago. I don't know why Gerald Butts is searching Twitter feeds from
00:19:33.940over a year ago trying to like expose True North for something that's like not even true at all
00:19:39.380by an anonymous bot. And he's calling that great research. Like he's way down in the dumpster of
00:19:45.900like, you know, quoting anonymous trolls and bots and saying, this is great research,
00:19:52.360Hashiq big news. Like, Gerald Butts is so out of touch, so out of control. The fact that this guy
00:19:57.080has power, the fact that this guy advises a prime minister, man, that tells us so much about why
00:20:02.340Canada is heading in the direction it's heading. Well, Gerald Butts is the puppeteer. He's pulling,
00:20:06.960or he was pulling the strings inside these institutions that Canadians no longer trust.
00:20:11.140And, you know, to find that Twitter thread, like you said, a deranged Twitter thread in which he doesn't really know how to compose tweets and makes weird hashtags and all that.
00:20:20.280He must have searched up True North because how else would you have found that?
00:20:27.020And, you know, this idea that True North is part of is pushing fake news.
00:20:31.520I just want to ask people watching this show, you won't see our editor panicking, writing letters to MPs and writing editorials saying, we didn't retract our stories in the convoy or we stand by reporting.
00:20:45.440You won't see that. You won't see MPs openly say that our reporting during the trucker convoy was false because we didn't do that.
00:20:52.640The CBC did. They had to admit it. They're the ones backtracking. They're the ones that are always panicking, having to retract stories.
00:20:57.900So the proof is in the pudding, Candace. We're not the ones that are misleading Canadians. Like you said, we're giving Canadians the other side of the story, desperately needed other side of the story, because you've got people like Gerald Butts and the editor-in-chief of the CBC who refuse to take any blame, refuse to take any responsibility for the fact that Canadians can see through everything they do now.
00:21:18.560Canadians know exactly that they have a reason why not to trust people like Gerald Butts and the CBC and our other institutions.
00:21:25.780It's because they've proven time and time again, Candace, that they're willing to go to any depth to back up their friends in government.
00:21:34.200They're willing to go as deep as they can to make sure they shine a good light on Justin Trudeau at the expense of Canadians.
00:34:37.680uh why don't you tell why don't you tell us what these panic buttons for mps here
00:34:42.420so we got news i think it was yeah it was a couple days ago and the what is it the national
00:34:49.580observer or canadian press it might have been they wrote a story about how mps are now receiving
00:34:54.880panic buttons which they're allowed to they're they're supposed to hold on to and they can press
00:35:00.340if they're if they feel they're in danger now this is supposedly because candace they're
00:35:04.640receiving mean tweets and death threats online from anonymous users or things like that. And
00:35:11.640of course, this is coming from Marco Mendicino, a Canadian who I think most people quite detest
00:35:18.320at the moment because he's been caught lying and he's been used by Justin Trudeau to push the
00:35:23.420emergencies order and the Emergencies Act. And so now because he's receiving lots of mean tweets
00:35:28.160and lots of comments on social media, he has ordered a bunch of panic buttons for MPs to
00:35:34.520hold on to when they go outside. I mean, I can't really think of anything more emasculating
00:35:38.840for a politician who's supposed to represent the people holding a panic button whenever a
00:35:45.220constituent might come up to them and air some grievances, Candace. It's really,
00:35:48.620really embarrassing stuff. And, you know, I put this out on Twitter, because when I read this
00:35:54.060story, the first thing I thought about was the fact that the honor in being a politician, the
00:35:59.020honor in representing Canadians has completely gone. There used to be this idea that if you were
00:36:04.480called a liar or if someone did something dishonorable as a politician, not only would
00:36:10.040you take serious issue with it, not only would that person be expected to resign, but as I
00:36:14.080mentioned here, in 1849, John A. Macdonald challenged an opposition politician to a duel.
00:36:20.700So they put their life on the line to defend their honor and to defend basically the institution
00:36:26.960of the House of Commons. Where has that honor gone? Imagine being a politician now holding a
00:36:32.220panic button in the same house where politicians used to have real honor. They used to actually
00:36:39.580take the job seriously. And they used to put their life on the line because they believed
00:36:43.560what they were doing. I think this is just a symptom, Candace, of how far our politics has
00:36:48.780fallen. And I followed that up, that tweet up with this, you know, what year was it? 2012,
00:36:54.8802011 or wherever, when a terrorist stormed the House of Commons armed with a gun after killing
00:37:02.240a soldier in broad daylight. You didn't, and MPs had to basically shelter in place in the House
00:37:08.700of Commons because a terrorist was on the loose inside the House of Commons. There was not a
00:37:12.540single MP who had the, who had really the audacity to call for a panic button. They just got on with
00:37:18.420job they did the job that canadians asked them to do and they weren't crying and whining about
00:37:22.900mean tweets we've fallen so far i can't imagine being a liberal mp and holding one of these
00:37:28.740lame panic buttons like i said on twitter i can't imagine being such a loser
00:37:33.620well it's unbelievable harrison because okay part part of the reason that mark
00:37:38.340marco mendicino is getting all the flack is because he admitted that he hadn't told the
00:37:42.180truth about the emergencies act and canadians were rightfully angry about that there was some
00:37:46.500rightful indignation. Again, an honorable politician would have resigned after misleading
00:37:50.660and not telling the truth about something so important as suspending our civil liberties and
00:37:55.840sort of misleading the public as to who advised and when and why. The other reason why there's
00:38:01.240been so much pushback against the minister, Medellino, is because they used the tragedy
00:38:06.240in Uvalde, Texas to try to ban guns, right? Okay, so let's just point out a little bit of irony
00:38:12.020right here, right? You have the public safety minister saying that he needs a panic button,
00:38:18.760what, to call an armed police officer to come and protect him, or an armed private security guard
00:38:24.960to protect him. So when he presses a button, a person with a gun shows up to protect him,
00:38:30.520and yet he is trying to take away the guns of Canadians. So are these people pro-gun or anti-gun?
00:38:36.260I would love to know that. I would love to know if Justin Trudeau's private security detail
00:38:39.960continues to hold handguns because I presume that they do. And so, in other words, he's worthy of
00:38:45.860protecting. His family's worthy of protecting. But Canadians, you know, you can't protect
00:38:49.880your own family. And then to the broader point, you know, I do remember in 20, I think it was
00:38:54.5802015, Harrison, when a deranged ISIS terrorist burst through the front doors of Parliament
00:39:01.200after murdering an unarmed soldier standing ceremoniously on guard at the Tomb of the
00:39:06.920General Soldier, a monument for the war dead in our country. The terrorist shot this individual,
00:39:14.240Nathan Cirilla, in the back. He shouted, for Iraq. Then he ran into parliament and tried to kill the
00:39:22.480prime minister. He didn't know where to go. So fortunately, thank the Lord, he didn't have
00:39:28.780success. He was murdered. He was killed by the sergeant of arms. But there was a terrorist who
00:39:34.220breached our parliament not too long ago, Harrison, six, seven years ago, right? And at the time,
00:39:41.040Prime Minister Stephen Harper, his security detail, pushed him into safety, into a closet,
00:39:47.100and the right, the left, and the media, and liberal politicians mocked him and made fun of him,
00:39:53.580and said he was a coward because he was in a closet. He didn't walk into a closet on his own,
00:39:58.320he was pushed in there for his own safety, and there was an armed terrorist who had already
00:40:01.440murdered someone on the premise, right? So, so, so obviously, you know, we're talking about a lot
00:40:07.900of hypocrisy here and, and the liberals were the ones that were leading that, that, that line of
00:40:14.380attack saying that the conservatives were somehow cowards because they were hiding from an armed
00:40:19.360terrorist in the building, right? The prime minister doesn't hold a gun. He doesn't carry a gun. He
00:40:23.020can't protect himself. So obviously his security was there to help him. But the, the idea that
00:40:29.060somehow that made him a coward was a little weak. But again, I think this just goes to broader theme
00:40:34.400of his show. Harrison, the whole point of the story, the whole point of the media covering this
00:40:39.200and making it seem like somehow these politicians are now facing some kind of a unique threat. It's
00:40:44.640this uniquely dangerous time for these liberal politicians, these poor, precious babies. It
00:40:50.240would infantilize these politicians. It's because of the dangerous right wing, right? The dangerous
00:40:56.160truckers and the and the white supremacists and the violent rhetoric that we're hearing and you
00:41:02.880know you you you hear it they're they're drumming up this sort of like i don't even know how to
00:41:07.900describe it it's like they're trying to paint half the country as like insurrectionists and as
00:41:13.540terrorists and as the enemy it's it's so it's so it's it's so remarkably dangerous what they're
00:41:21.040doing. And it's so blatantly obvious, too. It's like, you know, they're trying to pit you against
00:41:26.300your neighbor. They're trying to pit the country against each other, and we're letting them. And
00:41:29.320the media is giving this whole nonsense a megaphone. Like, True North, you know, we cover
00:41:34.780this story just insofar as to mock these idiots. But, you know, as a legacy media journalist,
00:41:41.420you know, to take this seriously, to say, like, oh, these liberals, they're just so precious,
00:41:46.440and this has never happened before. There's never been threats against politicians. There's never
00:41:50.860in death threats uh give me a break right that's not true but you can you can just feel how the
00:41:55.900media and liberals are working in lockstep to basically divide the country and turn us against
00:42:02.140each other and make us all believe um that you know the internet is radicalizing people that
00:42:07.420there's this dangerous right-wing white nationalist like sector militia in the country that's just
00:42:13.660gonna what like start start killing liberal politicians like okay that's pretty deranged
00:42:19.260worldview they tried to convince canadians that they were going to overthrow the government
00:42:23.500candace and i mean you know imagine if justin trudeau was the prime minister when that terrorist
00:42:28.300attack took place on parliament hill trudeau would have shut the country down for a month and he would
00:42:32.220have been in tofino or at his cottage you know hiding for about the rest of the year you know
00:42:37.020you talk about you talk about the guns issue right i mean the the government tried to convince us
00:42:41.660that there were guns in ottawa and in response justin trudeau ran away to his cottage to hide
00:42:47.260and he sent snipers on the rooftops of ottawa to point their rifles at the protesters you know
00:42:53.260this this idea that that these mps are are facing as you said some unique threat is a complete
00:42:59.660it's it's throwing gas in the fire it is designed to rile people up it is designed to create
00:43:04.860some sort of situation i believe that and and call me crazy but there's no other reason why
00:43:09.500you would try and convince canadians that these mps are facing some horrible threat from mean
00:43:15.420tweets that they need to carry panic buttons around with them it's it's ridiculous give me a
00:43:19.820break it's really it's really quite silly uh the idea of it it kind of reminds me of like you know
00:43:26.860something you would give to your like aging grandfather like uh you know in case they fall
00:43:30.460and you press the button to get the ambulance there it's not something that you know a cognitive
00:43:36.300adult human uh really really needs you got a phone right it's like if someone's threatening you or
00:43:41.740following your stalking, you just call the police or presumably, you know, these MPs and these
00:43:46.080ministers have their own protection. It's so silly. And again, the fact that the media take
00:43:52.040it seriously is just telling. All right. Let's cover the last story here. We know the legacy
00:43:56.980media gets truly triggered by the Canadian flag. Well, there is an effort this year for Dominion
00:44:02.200Day or Canada Day, which happens a week today, to take back the flag. So apparently the right
00:44:07.640tried to steal the flag from the left, in part because they wanted to cancel Canada Day last
00:44:12.880year. If you recall, they wanted to cancel Canada Day. They wanted to tear down all the statues of
00:44:16.320Sir John A. They said cancel Canada Day. They played up the whole narrative around the residential
00:44:25.500schools. They didn't even want to be Canadian anymore. So conservatives kind of stepped in and
00:44:29.500said, well, we still like our country. We like Canada. And you saw a bit more patriotism on the
00:44:33.760political right. Now the left is trying to take back the flag. So why don't you tell us about
00:44:38.980this individual in this video that he put out? So what we've got here is a guy, I believe,
00:44:44.940who goes by the name of Stuart Reynolds. He calls himself a comedian. I don't think he fits the
00:44:49.100bill of a comedian, which is supposed to make us laugh, Candace. But nonetheless,
00:44:53.000he considers himself to be a comedian. And he put out this video with the intention of making us
00:44:57.580laugh and really it's just quite embarrassing and cringy. And he's trying to, I guess, start
00:45:04.220the initiative of the left to take back the Canadian flag. As you said, let's watch this
00:45:08.140clip and then we can pretend or try to laugh at this horrible video. But let's watch this clip.
00:45:16.940Do you want to fly the Canadian flag, but don't want people to think that you're a hot tub in
00:45:21.440streets and a freak in the tweets don't worry now there's a solution just fly the flag canada
00:45:29.120doesn't get everything right but we're trying the venn diagram of being canadian and done by choice
00:45:34.320does have some overlap but thankfully it's not just two circles on top of each other
00:45:39.440so if you want to fly the maple leaf go right ahead we know you're not a jerk eh
00:45:43.520so i just will say this there's nothing more obvious than a fake a in a video you cannot
00:45:52.080fake that you can't you can't pretend to say a because it's so obvious that you're just
00:45:56.100you're just trying really hard and it's just a really sad attempt candace at trying to
00:46:01.340i guess kick start this this retaking over of the canadian flag i don't i think that's why
00:46:07.300most people don't laugh at leftists they're just it's impossible for them to be funny
00:46:11.420Well, it's usually them just hitting you over the head with their political view, as you put it out on Rayshad a few times, that, you know, comedy on the left is basically just them telling you their pronouns and demanding that you adhere to their worldview.
00:46:24.860But this was like, had all the hallmarks of like cheesy Canadiana, like a 1990s beer commercial or something like that.
