00:02:47.240I will follow his comments closely and comments which I would expect in due course from the board
00:02:53.000of directors. And I just want to point this out. So Harrison Faulkner, who is with Juno News now,
00:02:57.040he's the one that posted that video, got over a million views because it's so weird and tone
00:03:01.120deaf. Tristan Hopper of the National Post posts this, Air Canada has gone 43 years without a
00:03:05.720fatal incident. My entire life up to this point was lived in a country where the flag carrier
00:03:10.000never got a single person killed in the crash. The record is a totem of what serious people can
00:03:14.360accomplish. So naturally, Mark Carney is screaming at them to instead focus on nonsense. That's
00:03:20.760exactly right. This is like the major problem in our country. We can't tell the difference
00:03:24.060between a serious problem and something very stupid. And on that same light, here's Foreign
00:03:29.300Minister Anita Anand. She was asked about that report that we covered here on Juneau News,
00:03:34.180I think it was on a Monday, about the U.S. Treasury cracking down on money laundering for
00:03:38.740terrorists, specifically Hezbollah. They listed Canada as a bad actor that does harbor terrorists
00:03:43.940And one specific company was named that Seven Seas out of Vancouver.
00:03:48.920So a Vancouver company is spending millions of dollars, possibly hundreds of millions of dollars, funneling tax money laundering money over to Hezbollah, a terrorist group.
00:04:00.540And what does our foreign minister have to say?
00:04:09.460So, yes. In Canada, we schooled one company for failing to say something in French. And then when you're harboring terrorists, we have nothing. We have nothing to say to you.
00:04:29.860Also unrolling in Ottawa yesterday was that the Liberals voted down three Conservative motions on justice reform. Conservatives put these motions forward to fix Canada's justice system. This was Bill C-242, jail not bail. This was also Bill C-243, which would have amended the criminal code to not allow judges to give lighter sentences to foreigners, which is unbelievable that that already happens.
00:04:57.720and then also Bill C-246, which would have prevented concurrent sentences. So this is what
00:05:03.860former leader Andrew Scheer, Conservative MP, had to say, breaking Carney's liberals just voted down
00:05:08.460common-sense conservative crime bills to, one, repeal liberal easy bail regime, two, end the
00:05:15.080sentencing discount for non-citizens convicted of crimes, and three, require consecutive sentences
00:05:21.200for sexual offenders. Every day, Carney proves he's not special, he's just another liberal.
00:05:25.400unbelievable. We have a third world crime wave going on in Canada and the liberals don't care.
00:05:30.220They won't even pass basic bills to crack down on this. This is the same day, by the way,
00:05:34.280that this unbelievable video is doing the rounds on social media. Check out this. I don't know what
00:05:38.720kind of gun this is like a pump action shotgun. Someone shooting up a suburban neighborhood in
00:05:44.460Vaughn. Nice touch there that you have the Indian or Sikh rap music playing in the background. So
00:05:50.080we know exactly who these perpetrators were. They posted it on their own social media. Let's roll
00:05:54.600that clip. That's our justice system. If you're a foreigner, you get a lighter sentence than a
00:06:08.600Canadian because heaven forbid, we don't want to have to deport you. And that if you're convicted
00:06:12.360of sexual offenses, you don't have to go the full time in jail. You can just add those together.
00:06:16.880Plus, obviously, our catch and release jail system causes huge problems. So liberals don't
00:06:22.460want to change anything about the broken justice system. But what they do want to do is start
00:06:26.300cracking down on free speech. And so what they did pass last night was Bill C-9, which was the
00:06:32.700bill. Remember, we had Conservative MP Andrew Lawton on the show last week talking about how
00:06:37.940they shut down debate in committee on this bill and that they're pushing it through without the
00:06:42.940religious exemption. So here is Heritage Minister Mark Miller specifically saying that the Bible
00:06:50.060is full of hate, and if you cite it, you could be breaking the law, or you should be charged
00:06:56.260with hate crimes. This is just so despicable. This is from October 2025. Let's roll that clip.
00:07:01.200Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Romans, there's other passages. There's clear hatred towards, for
00:07:04.920example, homosexuals. I don't know, I understand how the concept of good faith could be invoked
00:07:09.440if someone were literally invoking a passage from, in this case, the Bible, but there are
00:07:14.280other religious texts that say the same thing, and somehow say that this is good faith. I mean,
00:07:19.980Clearly, there are situations in these texts where these statements are hateful.
00:07:23.800They should not be used to invoke or be a defense.
00:07:28.940And there should perhaps be discretion for prosecutors to press charges.
00:07:32.900So according to Canada's minister, the Bible is hateful.
00:07:36.540You know that text that our entire civilization was built upon?
00:07:39.840Well, he is now going back and saying, actually, the Bible is hateful towards homosexuals.
00:07:43.920So if you state it, you could be breaking the law in violation of the law.
00:08:40.300Okay, I really want to talk about your Hamilton School Board piece.
00:08:43.540We're going to walk the audience through the unbelievable chain of events.
00:08:47.440This is really, folks, why Juno News is so important, why we're having a big impact on the culture, on the country, because we're pushing back and exposing this stuff.
00:08:55.820And actually, in this case, having a really good impact.
00:08:59.040The Minister of Education clearly reads her stuff, Melanie, and clearly agrees with you, or at least in part does.
00:09:04.720So we'll start at the beginning, which was on March 13th, you had an exclusive story, which was that the Hamilton Wentworth School District released an internal memo saying that graduation ceremonies should be guided by an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, anti-colonial lens.
00:09:24.280You know, I thought a graduation ceremony was supposed to be focused on the achievements of the students who are graduating.
00:09:30.080But no, no, no, they always have to make it political, make it woke, make it very anti-Canadian.
00:09:34.400So why don't you tell us about this memo and tell us about how you how you were able to obtain this exclusive document?
00:09:41.860So I've spent many years before becoming a journalist, developing relationships with with people.
00:09:47.600And some of those people work within these school boards and schools.
00:09:51.280And one of my sources at the board does feed me information.
00:09:54.360I have when I say I have piles, I literally have boxes all over my house of documents like this, you know, bureaucratic stuff that nobody wants to read.
00:10:01.200And every now and again, I'll pull it out.
00:10:02.500And this is another one that I was like, OK, what am I going to write about this week?
00:10:05.380So I wrote about it and it talks about it's an announcement from December that 25 telling I think it was December telling the educators that their graduation this year was going to be anti-colonial, like you said, anti-oppressive and so on, so forth.
00:10:21.980That was going to be the theme. It also included information about how citizens are named citizens of Turtle Island.
00:10:29.060so referring to the decolonial agenda within the schools, and also that parents and students would
00:10:34.720not have to stand for O Canada this year. For some reason, this particular one, like I put out so
00:10:41.140many stories about some of this crazy divisive politics that's going on in schools. I mean,
00:10:44.680that's the primary driver of my journalism. For some reason, this one took off. I like to post
00:10:51.500the material so people can read it for themselves. I made a post on X, which I attached to the
00:10:55.660article. That post, I think at this point is nearly 380,000 impressions on X alone. And so
00:11:02.920it caught the attention of the public. There was something about this memo going around within the
00:11:07.040schools to the educators themselves, asking them to do a decolonial anti-oppressive graduation that
00:11:13.180caught the attention of the public. Unbelievable. Yeah. So you can see folks on the screen here.
00:11:17.780This is Melanie's viral tweet, just again, exposing this stuff. Like they don't refer to
00:11:22.420Canadians as Canadians were citizens of Turtle Island. I mean, it's just, I think most people
00:11:27.320are, I can safely say, you're just sick of this stuff. And especially when it comes to a graduation
00:11:32.940ceremony, again, this is like, supposed to be about the children and the students and their
00:11:37.280amazing accomplishment. And this next step that they're taking in life, right? They're leaving
00:11:40.680the comfort of their friends and their teachers and entering the real world. At least that's sort
00:11:45.280of the idea of graduation ceremonies is about the kids. And instead to make it about politics. And
00:11:51.680this is something that I find so outrageous. Melanie, this is all happening under a so-called
00:11:56.220conservative government in Ontario. We have had Premier Doug Ford in office for years and years
00:12:03.320and years, and it has all happened under conservatives, right? So it's not like you
00:12:07.260can even point and say, well, it's an NDP government, and maybe when the conservatives
00:12:09.760get back, we'll right the ship. Like, this has all happened under their watch. It's truly
00:12:13.980outrageous. I will just say that the new education manager seems to actually not like this stuff
00:12:20.760and be attempting and trying to change it.
00:12:24.140So in response to your excellent reporting
00:12:26.780that you had on this memo and on the story,
00:20:55.780Why would you send a letter like this to every teacher?
00:21:00.340I will simply not apologize for what is in that letter.
00:21:04.600What we're doing is depoliticizing it so students can focus on one thing,
00:21:08.400learning the education minister defending a letter he sent to educators and school board staff
00:21:13.840ordering graduation ceremonies to be conducted in a manner that is strictly student-centered
00:21:19.040apolitical inclusive and respectful and adding there is an unequivocal expectation that all
00:21:24.560staff uphold the highest professional and ethical standards it has sparked a wave of backlash from
00:21:30.160teachers unions who are calling the tone offensive demoralizing and unacceptable imagine if that's
00:21:36.320the way that you wanted to paint the story to the viewers that like critics are demanding an apology
00:21:40.640and how dare you send a letter to teachers you're only the minister of education you can't do that
00:21:45.440like like i'm sorry the liberals in that clip they've lost the plot right if you think that
00:21:51.040the controversy over this story truly is that the minister said let's make these things like
00:21:54.960political and not the fact that the person running these ceremonies actually ordered that they become
00:21:59.280very political and and and you're trying to paint it that way media is just so bad right so there's
00:22:05.280There's no curiosity. There's no curiosity on the part of the journalist or apparently the left wing politicians ask, what is this all about? Why did it capture the attention of the public? Why are people upset about this? Why are teachers upset about this? By the way, my sources are not just individuals within schools, they're also educators themselves who are fed up and scared.
00:22:21.480So people are fed up. We elected the Doug Ford government partly on a platform to depoliticize the education system. And eight years later, we're only just starting to see the buds of that potentially happening.
00:22:36.200and when the liberal minister said that he's not the dictator of or the emperor of of education
00:22:44.120he is i mean according to the law and policy he actually is and he can do this and so i for one
00:22:50.200am happy to see that and i hope it continues and it's the very least they can do right well like
00:22:54.800we're not we're not saying that you should politicize it in a conservative i would probably
00:22:59.120like that maybe i wouldn't i homeschool my kids i wouldn't put my kids anywhere near an ontario
00:23:04.340public school. That's just my opinion, my values. Maybe if we had a conservative government that
00:23:08.720actually wanted to impose conservative values in schools, maybe I would consider it. But right now
00:23:13.120they can barely even push back against the overwhelming woke takeover. Okay, we're going
00:23:17.820to talk about a few more stories that Melanie has broken here at Juno News. I want to do a quick
00:23:22.780pitch for Juno News, folks. We don't take any government funding, unlike the Toronto Star,
00:23:26.980unlike the fake news media. We don't take money from the government. We rely entirely on our
00:23:32.100audience and our readers and our supporters to fund our journalism. I really encourage you to
00:23:36.840go over and get a subscription to Juno News. It only costs 10 bucks a month and you help support
00:23:41.660incredible journalists like Melanie Bennett, who is working tirelessly to expose the insane
00:23:47.480problems and corruption that happen in our country and exposing the media as well. Okay,
00:23:52.340Melody, I want to talk about one other story that you had, which really got buried and didn't become
00:23:58.380the national story that i think it ought to have now we remember the tumblr ridge school shooter
00:24:04.060juno news was the first one to report that that individual was trans we did it through
00:24:07.900old-fashioned reporting we actually called his family members and confirmed that he was the
00:24:12.220shooter that he was trans right we broke that story and later the legacy media did follow up
00:24:17.900rcmp did admit it and we know that is the case one of the things that the media kept saying though
00:24:23.100is that it's incredibly rare it's incredibly incredibly rare for there to be a trans shooting
00:24:27.820which is obviously not true it's not i looked at the last 10 shootings in the united states the
00:24:32.060last 10 mass shootings and it was shocking how many of them were people who were either non-binary
00:24:37.500or trans or formerly trans and the media does this weird little trick to say oh well they're
00:24:42.940not trans because they're just non-binary so they don't count um or oh that they used to be trans
00:24:48.140but then they then they went back to identifying by their birth gender birth sex anyway it is a
00:24:54.540problem there is a correlation and you found another connection melanie between a foiled
00:24:59.980mass school shooting plot out in bridgewater nova scotia and the fact that the person who
00:25:06.780was the perpetrator who was stopped thank god was also trans why don't you tell us a bit about that
00:25:11.980story so i was alerted again through some sources over the over the weekend um about the trans
00:25:20.140identity of the the foiled shooter the accused the youth in nova scotia um i my sources knew some
00:25:27.780parents of a child at that school and they they alerted me and so i looked into it the information
00:25:34.620that i received was a little bit different than what was shared on cbc so there's some confusion
00:25:39.420at the minute because i i wasn't expecting the to see that the cbc i think it was on sunday or
00:25:45.800Monday pointing to the fact, burying it in the article, mind you, that the person who was accused
00:25:52.060the youth wanted he, him pronouns and the police had said was a girl. Now, I was confused like this
00:25:58.240because I don't remember the Bridgewater police stating publicly that it was a girl. I couldn't
00:26:04.220find it online. I asked the journalist, can you tell me where you got this information? They didn't
00:26:07.880respond to me. The police did respond to me after I originally wrote an article. And they said that
00:26:14.420they did actually say the person that we apprehended is essentially a, they use a phrase
00:26:20.600biological female. They proceeded to say, I provided names, the birth name and trans name
00:26:28.360that I was given by my sources. They confirmed that those names are correct, that the trans or
00:26:34.160that the individual, the youth is choosing to use their legal birth name. Although they never
00:26:41.360confirmed which one was which. They use the word they all the time, even though the police are
00:26:45.840saying she or he is using he, him pronouns. So it's very, very confused. We're having slightly
00:26:53.860conflicting things. It's looking like it might be a female who is identifying as a male. However,
00:27:00.780I will say my sources are very, very clear that this is a male. So I don't know what's going to
00:27:09.100happen in this story. I'm continuing to look into it to try to verify some information because
00:27:13.680there is so much contradictory information going on. And I think you're correct, Candice, that
00:27:18.560there's too much, people are being too careful here. We're talking about a criminal. We're
00:27:23.440talking about somebody who was planning mass murder of individuals. We need to understand
00:27:29.680the situation, muddying the waters by saying preferred pronouns and using terms like biological
00:27:34.900female girl all this stuff when we don't even know what a girl is anymore that could mean anything
00:27:39.560and i and you know the sources in the school are telling me one thing the police are saying another
00:27:43.820i want to trust the police but at this point do we trust the police i've you know so i'm i'm looking
00:27:49.040into this a little bit more deeply and and we may or may not have some more information coming
00:27:53.020forward well great reporting i want to tease one more piece of journalism that you exclusively
00:27:57.940have for us this week really excited for this we're going to release this as a standalone episode
00:28:01.900tomorrow. So folks may remember that you broke this big story last week about the University
00:28:07.460of Windsor levying sexual misconduct allegations against a Pride Center volunteer. So there was
00:28:14.880actually an internal investigation, we talked about this on the show last week, by the university.
00:28:18.080They found that this individual was acting in an atrocious manner, a 46-year-old man
00:28:23.680being a predator on a university campus, taking advantage of young students, really sick,
00:28:28.560twisted stuff. Well, the story relied on an anonymous source who you promised to keep his
00:28:33.820identity anonymous as journalists do. You know, we really take our sources seriously and we protect
00:28:38.260their identity when they ask. But this individual has actually agreed to come forward and put his
00:28:43.980real name and his real face out there because he is so concerned about this, again, 46-year-old
00:28:50.440biological male student who identifies as trans who's out there committing crimes, committing
00:28:56.980atrocious acts. And yes, so why don't you tell us a little bit about this interview that we're
00:29:03.440going to have coming out tomorrow? Well, I won't share his real name. I think you'll have to watch
00:29:06.980the interview to get to know his real name. But he's a very brave young man who has been through
00:29:12.840quite a lot, both because of the assaults, but also because of the university. This has been
00:29:20.400something that's been going on for a while and has affected other people. And he felt that it
00:29:25.180was really important to come forward to put his face to the story so that if it's happening to
00:29:30.720other people they know that they're not alone and they can reach out to him so he's telling his
00:29:34.380story i think he was very brave to do so i didn't ask him to come to to put himself forward he just
00:29:39.700came to me after the story and he said listen you know i'm he was sharing the story around he said
00:29:43.840um i've noticed that some people are saying this is misinformation and it's being transphobic and
00:29:48.940he said i want to put my face forward for people to realize this is not about transphobia this is
00:29:53.420about a creditor that needs to be exposed and so he put himself forward um voluntarily he asked to
00:29:58.900do this interview so that's what we've put together and we have for the audience incredible so that
00:30:03.720will be up tomorrow on our youtube melanie bennett thank you so much for all your incredible work
00:30:08.020honestly you do so much so much more than what the legacy media is putting out so much so that
00:30:13.080they have to resort to copying you and not giving you credit but we appreciate all you do and thanks
