00:00:00.000 Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland made a surprise visit to Ukraine over the weekend
00:00:11.400 where they announced another shipment of $500 million to Vladimir Zelensky in the Ukrainian
00:00:16.380 war effort, bringing Canada's total contribution to Ukraine since the beginning of the war
00:00:20.660 to over $8 billion. Sure, $8 billion is not a lot in the context of a war, but when the
00:00:26.340 Canadian government can't even afford helmets for our own troops, and even food for our
00:00:30.580 own troops, surely the question should be asked about who the Trudeau government is prioritizing
00:00:35.380 here. While in Kiev, Trudeau addressed the Ukrainian parliament and repeated the now famous slogan
00:00:40.820 that he has been using since the beginning of the war.
00:00:42.840 Canada will continue to stand with Ukraine with whatever it takes, as long as it takes.
00:00:50.200 Nobody seems to know exactly what Trudeau means when he says this, and no Canadian legacy media
00:00:54.900 journalist seems willing to ask that question. Trudeau also said this to the Ukrainian parliament.
00:01:00.260 You're fighting for the survival of everything. You're fighting for freedom, for democracy,
00:01:07.900 for the right of self-determination. You're fighting for borders to mean something,
00:01:14.280 even when a neighbor has a bigger armory. Despite the fact that Zelensky has banned the
00:01:19.060 Ukrainian Orthodox Church, dissolved the independent media in his country, and also dissolved his political
00:01:24.880 opposition. This is not to say that they are the bad guys here, in fact, quite the opposite.
00:01:29.200 It's just to say that saying you're fighting for freedom and democracy is a little difficult
00:01:33.560 when you're banning your political opposition and shutting down independent media. Oh, and for good
00:01:37.680 measure, Justin Trudeau made sure to meet with and shake the hand of a man who has been accused of
00:01:42.500 being a Nazi sympathizer and a Holocaust denier. Here's what the Canadian legacy media had to say
00:01:48.320 about that interaction. Drop a like in the video, help us out by subscribing to the TrueNearth YouTube
00:01:54.600 channel, and the comment question for the episode is this. How do you think the war in the Ukraine
00:01:59.920 will end? Let me know in the comments, and let's get into it. Well, this is a bit awkward, isn't it?
00:02:05.680 Here's Justin Trudeau meeting with former Ukrainian ambassador to Germany, Andrei Melnyk. Melnyk was forced
00:02:12.100 to leave his post as German ambassador after going on a German language interview and praising and
00:02:17.580 defending Stepan Bandera. Bandera is a far-right, World War II-era icon in the Ukraine whose followers
00:02:25.260 and militants in the organization of Ukrainian nationalists massacred tens of thousands of
00:02:31.240 Poles and Jews. For some quick historical context, Bandera openly collaborated with the Nazis in World
00:02:36.880 War II, but by the time his own militants began the slaughter of Poles in the Ukraine, Bandera was
00:02:42.400 interned in a German concentration camp after it became obvious that Germany was not going to
00:02:47.560 recognize Ukrainian sovereignty. Here's Melnyk in a German language interview from 2022, defending
00:02:53.320 Bandera and dismissing the accusations against him.
00:02:55.240 But has Israel a little right? Israel, the state of Israel, that has 800.000 Jews also from Banderas?
00:03:00.920 Also Israel, Israel, what's...
00:03:02.920 Denken you to think about that?
00:03:04.920 I don't know what they think about it, but we're talking about Bandera. And we're talking about Bandera.
00:03:09.920 The whole world can see that Bandera is a murder of the 100.000 Jews, except the Ukraine.
00:03:14.460 No, that's true. There's no evidence that Bandera troops have 100.000 Jews killed in the Ukraine.
00:03:22.240 Those comments were quickly condemned by both the Polish and Israeli governments. And before Melnyk was
00:03:27.280 forced to leave his post after making those comments, he stated on the record that he
00:03:31.360 condemns the Holocaust in the harshest possible terms. Canadian media and Jewish organizations
00:03:37.040 in Canada, however, have refused to condemn Justin Trudeau for meeting with Melnyk and have
00:03:41.920 refused to report on the interaction. Well, it's actually not that surprising that the Canadian media
00:03:46.640 have refused to report on this interaction. Because for quite some time, the Canadian media have been
00:03:51.760 silent about the uncomfortable connection between neo-Nazis and Ukraine. For example, at a Ukraine rally
00:03:57.920 in early 2022, Chrystia Freeland was seen holding up a blood-and-soil Bandera movement scarf at City Hall
00:04:05.760 in Toronto. True North's Candace Malcolm was the first to break the story, and Freeland posted the
00:04:11.200 photo of herself holding up the scarf, but then quickly deleted the photo and reposted a new photo
00:04:17.520 without the scarf in the picture. Legacy media outlets across the country, most notably being
00:04:22.720 the National Post, accused anyone of raising issue with Freeland holding that Bandera movement scarf
00:04:28.640 of pushing Russian propaganda. Also, it's important not to forget that Chrystia Freeland's
00:04:33.920 own grandfather, as reported by the Ottawa Citizen, was indeed a Nazi collaborator and newspaper propagandist.
00:04:41.520 And before the Ottawa Citizen confirmed this story in 2017, Freeland's office and other legacy media
00:04:48.240 journalists once again claimed anyone who was pushing that story to be advancing Russian propaganda.
00:04:55.040 Despite being an open secret for years that Ukraine has a very sketchy relationship with neo-Nazism,
00:05:00.800 legacy media outlets have refused to cover, for example, the Azov Battalion's frequent use of Nazi
00:05:06.880 imagery until the New York Times finally decided to report on it a few weeks ago. Now, despite this
00:05:12.640 overwhelming and uncomfortable evidence, legacy media journalists in Canada, Justin Trudeau himself,
00:05:18.160 and even his Liberal MPs have no problem attacking Conservatives for doing the things that they
00:05:23.280 themselves have been doing for years. Remember back during the Freedom Convoy when Justin Trudeau
00:05:28.720 shamelessly said to Melissa Lantzman, a Jewish MP, that she was standing with those who wave swastikas.
00:05:35.520 Mr. Speaker, when did the Prime Minister lose his way? When did it happen?
00:05:39.760 Mr. Speaker, Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas.
00:05:50.480 They can stand with people who wave the Confederate flag.
00:05:54.000 And when Conservative MPs met with German Member of European Parliament Christine Anderson,
00:05:58.720 who, by the way, did more to oppose lockdowns and mandates in Canada than most Canadian politicians,
00:06:04.000 Justin Trudeau said that Leslie Lewis, a black woman, was standing with a known far-right extremist.
00:06:11.280 A conservative leader meets with a known far-right extremist? Oh, we didn't know who it was.
00:06:18.400 Even worse, Liberal MP Jennifer O'Connell stood up in the House of Commons and shrieked at Leslie Lewis
00:06:24.640 that she met with, quote, a known Nazi. Remember this?
00:06:29.280 I'm just curious if she's talking about online hate and privacy of Canadians and regulation,
00:06:34.560 does she condemn her actions by meeting with a known Nazi
00:06:39.280 in this country who spout anti-Muslim rhetoric?
00:06:42.960 Well, Justin Trudeau was seen happily shaking the hand of a man who openly praises Holocaust deniers,
00:06:49.120 and defends Nazi sympathizers, and the media is silent.
00:06:52.880 But it just keeps getting worse for Trudeau and Freeland.
00:06:55.840 Back in 2019, Freeland and Trudeau met with Andrei Peruby.
00:07:00.800 Peruby served as the speaker of the Ukrainian legislature,
00:07:04.720 and he's also the co-founder of a far-right fascist party in Ukraine.
00:07:10.960 According to a report from the Jerusalem Post, as recently as 2016,
00:07:15.520 Peruby made anti-Semitic comments and accused Jews of sending convicts to settle eastern Ukraine
00:07:21.840 and to destroy the genetic memory of the Holodomor.
00:07:24.960 That reporting in Canada is exclusively in True North, not in any Canadian legacy media outlets.
00:07:31.600 Why is that?
00:07:32.320 Like I said at the beginning of the show, on Justin Trudeau's latest trip,
00:07:35.600 he announced another $500 million of taxpayer money to go to Ukraine,
00:07:40.080 bringing Canada's total contribution to $8 billion.
00:07:42.880 If any of you have seen Justin Trudeau talk about the war in Ukraine,
00:07:47.280 you will have heard him say this.
00:07:49.360 We will continue to be there with whatever it takes, as long as it takes.
00:07:53.840 Whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to support Ukraine.
00:07:57.680 And we will stand with Ukraine with everything it takes, for as long as it takes.
00:08:02.480 What exactly Trudeau means when he says Canada will be there with whatever it takes,
00:08:06.880 for as long as it takes isn't exactly clear,
00:08:09.440 because journalists just don't seem to be willing to ask that question.
00:08:13.360 But back in March, Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister,
00:08:16.400 Melanie Jolie, might have actually given us a hint at what Trudeau means when he says that.
00:08:21.280 Because back in March, she said that Canada's position was to advocate for regime change in Russia.
00:08:29.440 That's not reckless at all, right?
00:08:31.440 Listen to this.
00:08:32.480 I noticed this morning you used a term that I haven't heard you use before, referring to Russia.
00:08:37.840 You talked about regime change.
00:08:39.920 And I was just wondering, at what point in time did that become Canada's policy to advocate for?
00:08:45.440 And I wanted to ask Minister Ditfeldt if that's the right approach to advocate for when it comes to Russia.
00:08:51.600 Well, we believe that we need to isolate Russia diplomatically, economically, and politically.
00:09:00.560 And that is the regime that I'm referring to, of course.
00:09:05.600 At the same time as Trudeau has given Ukraine $8 billion,
00:09:09.680 and continues to say that Canada will be there with whatever it takes, for as long as it takes,
00:09:14.800 Canadians are lining up at food banks just to stay alive.
00:09:17.760 Interest rates keep rising, and more and more Canadians are struggling.
00:09:21.840 Justin Trudeau, when he's at home, has no problem telling Canadians that he knows times are tough.
00:09:27.360 But it doesn't seem to stop Trudeau from finding more money to send to Ukraine.
00:09:31.440 So, even though we're facing real tough times right now for a whole lot of people,
00:09:38.640 I'm incredibly optimistic about this country.
00:09:41.840 Remember when Trudeau told a veteran amputee who lost his leg serving in Afghanistan,
00:09:46.560 that veterans are asking for more than the government is able to give?
00:09:50.160 My question is, what veterans were you talking about?
00:09:53.040 Was it the ones that fought for the freedoms and values that you so proudly boast about,
00:09:58.240 or was it the ones who fought against?
00:10:00.640 Because honestly, Mr. Prime Minister, I was prepared to be injured in the line of duty when I joined the military.
00:10:08.160 Nobody forced me to join the military.
00:10:10.000 I was prepared to be killed in action.
00:10:13.840 What I wasn't prepared for, Mr. Prime Minister, is Canada turning its back on me.
00:10:24.560 Thank you for having the courage to stand here, and thank you for listening to my answer.
00:10:30.320 On a couple of elements you brought up.
00:10:31.840 First of all, why are we still fighting against certain veterans groups in court?
00:10:39.040 Because they're asking for more than we are able to give right now.
00:10:43.360 The Veterans Affairs budget for 2022 was $6.3 billion.
00:10:47.920 We sent $8 billion to the Ukraine.
00:10:50.080 Now, $8 billion does nothing for the Ukraine.
00:10:52.320 It's a rounding error compared to the money they're receiving from the United States.
00:10:56.160 But $8 billion would do a lot more for our veterans than it would for Ukrainian soldiers.
00:11:01.600 But no, our veterans, the ones that actually served our country, are asking for more than we're able to give.
00:11:06.960 And at the same time, take a look at this article from the CBC published just last week.
00:11:11.200 An embarrassing gear shortage has Canadian troops in Latvia buying their own helmets.
00:11:18.240 There's a phrase soldiers use to describe equipment they've bought themselves to augment what the army gives them.
00:11:24.400 They call it Gucci gear, after the luxury fashion designer.
00:11:28.640 For Canadian troops deployed in Latvia, those private purchases have been decidedly more practical than luxurious,
00:11:34.880 given the fact that they're taking part in more live-fire training exercises meant to deter Russia from setting foot in the Baltic country.
00:11:42.160 They've also purchased rain gear and vests and belts to carry water and ammunition.
00:11:47.440 So the Canadian troops are literally buying their own military equipment off the internet,
00:11:51.920 so they can actually do the job that they're being paid to do by the government.
00:11:55.280 Oh, but here's $8 billion for Wladimir Zelenskyy.
00:11:57.520 Take a look at this article from the Ottawa Citizen published a few months ago.
00:12:00.960 Canadian troops in Poland not being reimbursed for meals.
00:12:05.120 Canadian soldiers are training Ukrainian military,
00:12:07.680 but a backlog with the Canadian forces reimbursing the soldiers for food costs
00:12:12.000 is causing financial hardship for families back home.
00:12:15.200 Some of the Canadian soldiers, according to this Ottawa Citizen article,
00:12:18.560 have had to go into thousands of dollars of debt just to keep themselves fed.
00:12:23.680 It's shameful, it's embarrassing, and it's a disgrace to the once great Canadian armed forces.
00:12:28.640 But as Canadians are struggling at home, as wildfires burn across our country,
00:12:33.440 Trudeau flies off to Ukraine, gives them more of our money,
00:12:36.720 and shakes the hand with people who are accused of being Nazi sympathizers.
00:12:40.640 Is there anything that Canadians can be proud of when it comes to this?
00:12:43.680 By the way, the largest protest against gender ideology in Canadian history took place on Friday,
00:12:49.040 and I was on the ground to capture the scenes for True North.
00:12:52.000 Organized by Billboard Chris and student activist leader Josh Alexander,
00:12:56.480 the Education Over Indoctrination rally gathered thousands of Canadians to come out onto the streets
00:13:02.240 and oppose radical gender ideology in Canadian schools.
00:13:06.400 Parents and children from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds,
00:13:10.000 including a very notable contingent of Muslim parents,
00:13:13.360 showed up to peacefully protest radical gender ideology.
00:13:17.360 You can check out my full report in the video description below,

00:13:28.720 Alright, that's going to do it for us today on the show.
00:13:30.640 Reminder to let me know in the comments your answer to the comment question.
00:13:33.840 How do you think the war in the Ukraine is going to end?
00:13:37.120 Remember, the one word you can't say when it comes to the war in Ukraine is peace.
00:13:41.280 Because peace, for whatever reason, doesn't seem to be what everyone here is trying to get at.
00:13:46.240 Thank you so much for watching.
