Juno News - Trudeau appeased Hamas supporters

00:00:00.000 it's remarkable how times change you know just a few years ago the desecration of the terry fox

00:00:05.680 monument in ottawa was like the worst possible thing imaginable and now that seems mostly left

00:00:11.120 wingers are burning the canadian flag and chanting death to canada we're being told guys well it's

00:00:15.840 not that bad because it's actually not against the law why are people upset about this well

00:00:20.960 this was actually in vancouver there was a bunch of clips coming out of this protest where all these

00:00:26.000 pro-hamas pro-hezbollah people got together to chant death to canada death to the united states

00:00:33.040 death to israel and they were trying to burn this flag but i found it so funny because they were 0.99

00:00:38.000 trying to burn a polyester nylon flag that wouldn't catch fire so it's it's kind of a symbol of the

00:00:44.520 resilience of canada in the face of all these people who hate it or the or the mental capacity

00:00:50.600 of the people who do hate it isaac what did you make of what we saw in vancouver yeah uh you know

00:00:57.000 i saw a thought a lot of things online contrasting these protests let's call them by these terrorist

00:01:03.240 sympathizers uh as you mentioned chanting death to canada and burning the canadian flag versus of

00:01:08.360 course what we saw at the freedom convoy a generally peaceful celebration of canada so a lot of clips

00:01:14.840 contrasting those two and and obviously the emergency measures act was called in on one of those uh

00:01:21.880 gatherings you you might if you knew nothing about the situation guess the wrong one yeah it's funny

00:01:28.920 you know the ndp were you know having mental breakdowns over terry fox's statue with a canadian

00:01:35.000 flag on it they said nothing at all when palestinian protesters put the palestinian flag and keffiyeh on

00:01:40.680 the terry fox statue and i'm quite certain that we didn't hear a single thing out of the bc ndp

00:01:45.880 or the federal ndp over the ridiculous protest scenes in vancouver i guess that's just uh

00:01:51.400 i guess that's just the way things are going these days but with that let's get into the show

00:02:03.720 welcome everyone to off the record my name is harrison faulkner i'm joined today by true north's

00:02:09.560 senior journalist and editor cosmin georgia as well as the host of the alberta roundup isaac

00:02:15.400 lamoureux gents thank you so much for joining us thanks harrison yeah thanks harrison yeah we've got

00:02:23.640 we've got quite a lot to get into this was obviously an insane week in canadian politics they they kind

00:02:28.680 of just stack up with each other each week they just kind of get crazier but of course with this

00:02:33.720 past week seeing the first anniversary of the october 7th attacks we knew that it was going to

00:02:38.520 dominate the political dialogue in this country but maybe not to this same degree the big news

00:02:45.000 this week of course was kicked off when pierre pauliev said outside at a first at an october 7th

00:02:52.360 event and then the following day in ottawa that he would support preemptive strikes on iranian nuclear

00:02:58.600 bases and their oil reserves which is uh well depending on what you think about it the reality is this it is

00:03:05.320 not a it's not a sentiment shared by the united states and not one that is shared by the canadian

00:03:11.800 government so pauliev kind of taking a different perspective there but in kind of line with his

00:03:17.160 hawkish stance on iran it then followed when pierre pauliev said in the house of commons that canada's

00:03:23.640 foreign minister melanie joly was pandering to hamas supporters the reality is it doesn't really seem to be

00:03:31.480 too out of step with the truth because according to tom mulcair in ctv mulcair said that jolie told

00:03:38.760 him privately that he she has to pander to these causes because of the demographics of her writing

00:03:44.840 remarkably we're now in a situation where canada's foreign policy is being dictated by the demographics

00:03:51.480 of individual riding so there you go uh we then get melanie joly responding to pierre pauliev with

00:03:59.160 this hissy fit take a listen he don't freaking gaslight people not on a day that is so important

00:04:06.600 for the country and clearly that's what kathalia was doing today and clearly what he was saying it

00:04:14.760 was trying to play petty politics on the backs of victims and so that's why not only should he

00:04:20.520 apologize for what he did but clearly the guy's unfit to become prime minister because canadians

00:04:26.440 deserve way better so there you go it was uh you know because of what pauliev said he was basically

00:04:34.280 removed from the house of commons and uh censored by the speaker greg fergus for those for those comments

00:04:40.840 which frankly aren't that bad if you ask me i don't know i mean i mean he's not like he's not

00:04:45.640 saying something that's obviously out of step with the truth uh it's just might might have struck too

00:04:50.840 close for melanie joly and greg fergus who we know is not exactly bipartisan i want to get through

00:04:56.520 everything we have here so in response to all of this and of course the legacy media was melting down

00:05:01.960 right alongside melanie melanie joly and saying pauliev was was wrong to was wrong to make these claims

00:05:08.040 true north and you cosmon in particular you fact-checked what was going on with a listicle

00:05:14.600 that explained every opportunity the five times that the trudeau government has appeased hamas and

00:05:20.920 i want to give you the chance to explain that in more detail cosmos so what exactly has the trudeau

00:05:26.920 government done to appease hamas sure first i just want to point out the double standard of this ruling

00:05:33.720 because i would make i would take pierre poliev's comments to be fair comment and here we have the

00:05:39.960 liberal government constantly accusing the conservatives of pandering to far-right extremists

00:05:46.680 domestic terrorists etc but those comments are not taken out of line nobody's censored for that

00:05:52.520 so we did put together this list it was five times when the liberal government clearly pandered to hamas

00:06:00.440 and its supporters here in canada i think the cream of the crop was when a senior hamas leader

00:06:08.440 actually thanked the trudeau government alongside other other governments but canada was uh chief among

00:06:15.160 that list for his support and calls for a ceasefire that extends also to votes in the un by bob ray

00:06:23.800 additionally they've supported ndp motions uh they've also accused israel of targeting civilians

00:06:30.360 ignoring the fact that hamas often stores ammunition all sorts of equipment fighters

00:06:36.040 in civilians homes uses civilians as human shields and all of these things put together just go to

00:06:43.800 substantiate pierre polievra's claims that the liberal government has in fact pandered to hamas

00:06:50.520 isaac what do you make of what we've seen yeah a few things one one thing that stood out to me with

00:06:56.120 jolie's little hissy fit there was she and i'm guessing did this consciously did not use the

00:07:01.800 word hamas which i found very interesting given the subject she was speaking about you would think

00:07:06.680 it would come out naturally especially on october 7th and then just touching briefly on what um pierre

00:07:12.920 said about iran there uh i i i don't know that i disagree with him per se but really i'm looking at

00:07:20.120 these things through the lens of you're either pro-war or against it so i really don't want to

00:07:24.680 advocate for war in any way i think that's something trump did so well and we'll see with the upcoming

00:07:30.520 american election here was he he kept the world essentially out of wars he didn't start any new

00:07:35.640 wars he resolved a few you'll remember korea so really i want these wars to come to an end and

00:07:41.400 the best way to do that of course is to stop funding these foreign entities well one thing i think

00:07:47.080 is going to be you know people should pay attention to is pierre polyev's changing statements when he

00:07:53.560 eventually does become prime minister because it's looking very much very certain that he will be and

00:07:57.560 i'm pretty certain that when he does become prime minister he won't be saying that israel should strike

00:08:03.160 iran's nuclear uh bases you can say that when you're the opposition leader but you know there are

00:08:09.160 you know falling out of line with the united states foreign policy on on the middle east is is not

00:08:14.040 something that canadian governments typically do and i think that polyev is taking a chance

00:08:18.520 when he's opposition leader to make that point you know i think the other thing that i see which

00:08:22.600 really bugs me is this this fact that we have now let our politics be dictated by the ethnic fights

00:08:30.440 and and foreign issues that immigrants mostly care about most so melanie jolie admitting to tom

00:08:37.880 mulcaire there that she has to take certain stances as the minister of foreign affairs because of the 0.98

00:08:42.920 demographics of her riding as if that should have any bearing whatsoever on canada's best interest it

00:08:48.920 doesn't but this is not just the only issue that we've seen this right we've seen for example

00:08:54.680 diff different ethnic groups in brampton dictating canada's foreign policy when it comes to india

00:09:00.840 right this is this is a major issue and the same goes likely for uh china in certain cases right

00:09:06.920 certain members of parliament don't want to make such a strong stance against china because

00:09:11.240 they're riding maybe in in richmond is heavily chinese so we've now let ourselves into this

00:09:17.640 situation uh cosmon where canada's foreign policy is being dictated by small individual riding uh

00:09:25.800 ethnicities what what a what a terrible situation for canada yeah and i just want to add it's not just 0.99

00:09:31.800 foreign policy this actually spills out into inter-ethnic conflict that we see played out on the streets

00:09:38.040 in calgary we saw eritrean gangs fighting each other way back recently we saw a journalist a south

00:09:47.160 asian journalist being attacked on the streets by somebody part of a different ethnic group in that

00:09:53.800 region essentially disagreeing with what he had to say on his exposure of extortion schemes within his

00:10:01.240 community and this is happening all over the place you mentioned china we see the chinese

00:10:06.600 government have agents in this country illegally operating police stations that the government

00:10:13.000 claims have been shut down but we know that there is still a lot of activity being pushed by the ccp in 1.00

00:10:19.960 canada to pressure threaten and intimidate chinese expats who live in this country who speak out both

00:10:27.800 privately and publicly against the chinese communist government so it is impacting our foreign policy but

00:10:34.360 it is also playing out in the everyday lives of canadians and don't you think isaac that members

00:10:41.160 of parliament who are elevated into positions of extreme importance like being in the cabinet

00:10:46.520 don't you think that when you're in that position standing up for the interests of the canadian people

00:10:51.320 is more important than winning your seat in the next election wouldn't you think that that's a

00:10:55.880 reasonable price to pay for standing up for the interests of canadians yeah we've seen these mps that have

00:11:01.960 such a national influence uh acting selfishly if you if you want to call it that really just catering to

00:11:09.400 as you mentioned a very small demographic but i i guess it comes as little surprise given so many

00:11:15.640 liberal mps in their own ridings are seeing that based on the polls they will lose their seats so these

00:11:21.560 people are thinking how am i going to keep my job my salary my life because if i lose my seat i'm out on the

00:11:27.400 street essentially right yeah it it is it is unbelievable uh the last last question i have

00:11:34.040 for both of you and isaac you already touched on this but cosmon what do you make of pauliev's

00:11:39.000 decision to come out so forcefully for israel to preemptively strike iran uh like i i was saying my

00:11:45.880 my perspective is i think that pauliev is taking the opportunity as an opposition leader um but in general

00:11:51.800 i don't think many canadians want to be dragged into a major war yeah look i think he wants to

00:11:59.800 distinguish himself from the liberal government's lukewarm response and we know that the foreign 1.00

00:12:06.120 policy file has never been the strong suit of the liberals so whether you agree with his decision or not

00:12:14.680 he's taking a stance that is very you know single focused obviously uh intentional and and has

00:12:24.040 actionable items to it whereas the liberal government just kind of just lingers in this die

00:12:30.040 like this false promise of dialogue of of just essentially going to the un uh and they're not

00:12:37.480 really doing anything they're not actually pressuring uh different interest groups involved in this

00:12:42.840 conflict and they've abandoned canada's role as this middle power that mediates global conflicts

00:12:50.120 and and achieves reasonable solutions that avoid the death toll and the carnage that we see playing

00:12:56.920 out right now i couldn't agree more and we're going to stick with you cosmon because we're going to

00:13:01.560 transition now from foreign policy to provincial politics i want to go over to uh british columbia your

00:13:07.960 neck of the woods talking to talk about the state of the race as we're entering uh as we get closer

00:13:13.800 to election day in british columbia there was just a debate so what's going on in bc because it's uh it's

00:13:18.440 starting to get a lot of national play yeah so the election is less than two weeks out we just saw

00:13:24.680 a major debate happen i think it's going to be it was the only televised debate actually between the

00:13:30.520 three major party leaders the bc conservatives bc ndp who are in government and the bc greens but uh

00:13:39.000 this whole conflict of of the hamas protests and etc happening throughout canada particularly touched

00:13:45.640 bc because we saw in vancouver uh on october 7th a major pro-palestine pro-hamas rally happening and

00:13:54.680 these clips went viral all over the place including in the united states where these protesters as we

00:14:00.040 mentioned earlier literally said were hezbo hezbollah were hamas death to canada death the united

00:14:07.080 states etc and this sparked a condemnation from bc conservative leader john rustad who came out and

00:14:16.200 said that his official party policy will be to pressure ottawa if he gets elected to deport any

00:14:23.160 non-citizens found to openly and publicly support terrorist groups and terrorist entities

00:14:30.040 and we know that both hamas and hezbollah are listed terrorist organizations here in canada and

00:14:36.280 that actually made it into the debate he was the only leader in that debate to bring this up and he

00:14:43.880 mentions in a clip that we're just about to play how the bc ndp have continuously pandered to this radical

00:14:51.880 wing of their own party including by sacking one of their own ministers i care about the fact that our

00:14:58.680 youth want to be able to have safety here you know we have a government that kicks out a jewish 1.00

00:15:04.360 cabinet minister selena robinson to appease a mob who last night was burning flags in front of the art

00:15:09.960 gallery i find that incredibly offensive so just for a little bit of context uh selena robinson was a

00:15:18.200 minister in the bc ndp government she's jewish and she made some comments uh soon after the october 7th

00:15:25.800 conflict broke out in the middle east essentially saying that i think she called the area of where

00:15:33.720 palestine is a crappy piece of land in an interview and this caused a huge flood of far left radical pro

00:15:43.320 hamas pushback from within the bc ndp and david eby essentially the premier essentially caved to that

00:15:53.400 pressure and it's outstanding because nobody is calling out the bc ndp's consistent

00:16:00.280 push to appease these individuals within their own party and we see these protests playing out all the

00:16:06.280 time they're happening in victoria where i live every saturday there's pro-palestine people being

00:16:11.480 escorted by police constantly blocking traffic uh saying all sorts of slogans etc so i want to ask you

00:16:19.000 harrison how much because i i'm here in bc this is the story of the you know the year essentially how

00:16:26.680 much of this has spilled out to the rest of canada are you seeing conversations about the bc election

00:16:32.280 and particularly the response from the bc government which is i think a solid one to call for the

00:16:38.440 deportation of people who support terrorists is that really reaching the rest of canada

00:16:43.640 you know the problem i think living in ontario and specifically living in toronto is that whatever

00:16:49.720 happens in this area is like the most important news story in the world and anything else is not

00:16:55.080 thought about it's not talked about it's not discussed and i think that's almost exclusive

00:16:59.800 to southern ontario that kind of mindset uh but i think anyone paying attention to politics in canada

00:17:05.320 is watching this closely they might not have been watching it several months ago but as the

00:17:09.880 conservatives get closer and closer to potentially even winning this election um or sig or just

00:17:15.400 putting a major dent into the bc ndp people are starting to look at this and think to themselves

00:17:20.600 wow this is major this is a major political shift this is really bad news for justin trudeau's liberals

00:17:27.480 it's obviously terrible for the ndp um but the one thing that everybody does at least in toronto look

00:17:35.400 at vancouver and british columbia the one thing they they look at that for is just the the the state

00:17:41.320 of the city itself the the problems because people care more about the problems they do about what's

00:17:46.520 nice about a certain place uh you know if it bleeds it leaves that sort of thing and everybody just

00:17:52.040 understands that vancouver especially is drug infested it's full of homeless people and the policies

00:17:59.720 that have led to that situation have been put in place you know for decades really but consistently

00:18:06.680 by this by the ndp they're the ones that are legalizing cocaine in certain instances giving

00:18:12.120 out uh giving out the the uh these hydromorphone pills to children uh talking about safe what is it uh

00:18:20.360 you know like basically giving out drugs to kids in bc it is it is absurd so we're not seeing a lot of the

00:18:27.000 dialogue about the election but everybody understands that the situation in bc is bad and it needs to

00:18:31.800 change isaac what is the uh situation out in alberta are people paying attention to bc a bit more

00:18:36.840 yeah obviously i'm a lot closer to bc than you harrison being their neighbor uh their eastern

00:18:43.960 neighbor but uh though no one would call alberta an eastern province uh yeah obviously i've been

00:18:51.080 paying quite close attention to the bc election not just because i work for true north but because

00:18:55.320 i i found this find this provincial election really interesting especially with the polls

00:18:59.880 because it's it's really going to be a nail biter i think uh based on the polls because really we see

00:19:05.080 the ndp and the conservatives kind of flipping in in each subsequent poll where they're within a a few

00:19:10.200 points so that's really interesting and i just wanted to talk about uh the bc provincial election you

00:19:17.960 know is not the only provincial election coming up in canada we have a few others and i i just really want

00:19:23.000 to see what dominoes will begin to fall if the conservatives just start cleaning up the

00:19:28.520 provinces what kind of message that's going to send to the federal government cosmon i will say this i i

00:19:35.240 not many people are talking about uh bc election in ontario but they are talking about chip wilson the

00:19:40.200 lululemon founder this guy seems pretty based i didn't know about this yeah so essentially chip wilson uh

00:19:49.240 he's a big business figure here in british columbia and he owns a home in vancouver i think that's his

00:19:56.520 base of operations that's actually where he founded lululemon the athletic clothing line and he put out

00:20:02.680 this huge sign on his property uh that i guess he had made himself he got commissioned to to be made and it

00:20:11.240 it essentially argued that you know the left keeps calling the conservatives the bc ndp keeps accusing the

00:20:18.200 conservatives of being extremists far-right etc but they ignore the fact that the bc ndp are communists

00:20:26.360 and we know i the bc ndp is a socialist party they have their roots in progressive canadian socialism

00:20:34.520 and some would argue some of the policies they're introducing including you know mass government

00:20:39.640 subsidized housing in british columbia is a form of you know communist housing i i come from romania i was

00:20:46.680 born there i i immigrated to canada when i was seven or eight we had huge they were called blocks

00:20:52.200 but they were essentially giant gray brick buildings where people got to live for free but

00:20:58.360 you didn't actually get to own the place and it was essentially a government subsidized place that

00:21:03.800 was offered to you by the the soviet dictatorship at the time so i think there's some legitimacy but

00:21:09.720 people were so angry with the sign that they went up there graffitied it uh wrote all kinds of messages

00:21:16.200 on the the sign and it's funny because it just proves that who would get angry at being called

00:21:21.720 a communist other than people who are communists man homemade political signs that's like a new concept

00:21:28.680 that could really take off you know it's pretty boring like a sign in some color how about how about

00:21:33.560 how about tell us how you really feel that would really uh spice some things up in some neighborhoods

00:21:37.880 eh isaac yeah uh yeah when i was talking with lindsey uh on the daily brief on thursday about this she

00:21:44.680 said wilson had the most expensive home uh in vancouver or in bc there which is 81 million dollars so

00:21:51.720 yeah i just found that interesting i mean his his sign getting defaced i don't know uh how he feels

00:21:57.560 about that but he he then put up a subsequent sign and even a third sign i heard i i can't remember

00:22:02.840 what they said but so he's just gonna keep putting up new signs every day they'll deface them and

00:22:06.760 he'll put a new one up the next day well i just want to add that like the fact that they're defacing

00:22:11.720 private property just goes to prove his point these people don't care about private property they

00:22:17.000 feel entitled to other people's private property i wish there was a better segue for these stories

00:22:23.560 that's the other problem you know like i feel like back in when whenever whenever andrew lawton

00:22:27.720 would host the show he would always have these classic segues i'm not there yet but we're gonna

00:22:31.640 we're gonna just you know abruptly segue to another story here and we're gonna ship it over to you isaac

00:22:36.520 to talk about the the revelations we are learning about the handling of the jasper wildfire story

00:22:41.960 i talked about this on my show yesterday and it is what we are learning is just disgraceful the neglect

00:22:48.040 the negligence and the handling of this wildfire um which it appears could have been almost entirely

00:22:54.120 prevented isaac what are we learning yeah tough to segue into this one harrison obviously i spent

00:23:00.760 much of my day yesterday for hours watching the testimonies coming out of the house of commons

00:23:05.960 about the jasper wildfires and with every testimony i watched the the feeling of sickness

00:23:12.440 in my stomach grew knowing now for certain that something is amiss with the way the jasper wildfire

00:23:19.320 was handled not only during the fire but leading up to the fire so the conservatives uh they're setting

00:23:25.240 forward a motion calling for additional testimony from forest management groups stakeholders indigenous

00:23:32.680 communities and impacted individuals for four additional meetings because they're saying look

00:23:37.480 we've uncovered so much already we need more time to go through this uh it was dan masier the

00:23:43.000 conservative mp who said quote over the last two weeks an alarming amount of evidence has been released

00:23:48.680 at the environment committee that shows minister guibo was negligent in protecting jasper uh yeah so

00:23:55.560 obviously we saw guibo was found uh discussing cancelling prescribed burns for quote political

00:24:01.480 purposes this was months before the fire and again the fire caused almost a billion dollars in damage

00:24:08.200 destroying a third of jasper resulting in over 360 square kilometers of burned or partially burned area and 358

00:24:16.440 destroyed structures masier said a few other things he said uh that parks canada officials which we saw

00:24:23.480 in their testimony they can't even tell us how many hectares of dead pine remain in jasper but uh fans of

00:24:29.480 true north may remember our exclusive where uh peter schultz said he estimated that last summer uh about 40

00:24:36.600 of the forest was standing dead pine which he said essentially made it a powder keg yeah but then something

00:24:42.920 even worse came out harrison which was that we saw in these testimonies firefighters speaking who said

00:24:48.280 look we showed up and they they sent us away yeah 50 firefighters and 20 fire trucks were turned away

00:24:54.680 by parks canada when they arrived in jasper to help fight the fire this was during the fire and they said

00:24:58.840 no no thanks guys so yeah we saw the president of arctic fire safety services christopher liveham or leave

00:25:05.640 them i don't know how you pronounce that but he testified that they were deemed non-essential and yes

00:25:10.840 parks canada ordered them to leave he said he also revealed uh i mean the more i go into this the

00:25:16.840 worse it gets guys he also revealed that the the hydrants in jasper are different than every other

00:25:22.760 municipality in alberta and british columbia and they only had seven available adapters so these fire

00:25:27.880 trucks were showing up they can't even connect to the hydrants because for some reason parks canada

00:25:32.440 ordered some weird hydrant that no other municipalities use so of course the threading is not compatible with

00:25:38.680 the fire trucks and yeah that live him he said at one point they were just forced to stand there

00:25:43.640 and watch things burn down because they couldn't connect to the hydrant so he said something

00:25:48.600 interesting which was quote that this should warrant a deeper investigation into this agency's fire

00:25:54.520 mismanagement and overall role as guardians of canada's most important and cultural assets i mean

00:26:01.640 the list is never-ending the things that that i uncovered yesterday guys uh going through these

00:26:05.800 testimonies i mean it literally does get worse and worse the last thing i'll i'll add i guess was

00:26:12.360 you let me know the level of corruption you think this is but at one point uh the committee chair

00:26:16.520 stopped livern from testifying said said they couldn't interpret his french but then literally

00:26:21.400 five seconds later someone's testifying and they're interpreting his french so i'm like hmm found

00:26:26.280 that kind of odd but they said we got to stop you right there our interpreters can't interpret you

00:26:29.880 but then literally five seconds later they're interpreting another guy so i really don't know what's

00:26:33.560 happening and we know gibo and smith the alberta premier have a long history of animosity so there's

00:26:41.000 really a lot that goes into the story uh who who who wants to speak about it first well i find it i

00:26:48.360 find it shocking of course cosmon you know every time there's a wildfire in this country especially

00:26:53.960 over the past three or four years it's always climate change to blame it's always climate change despite

00:26:59.800 the mounting evidence of people who formerly worked in jasper from wildfire firefighters and from

00:27:06.920 forestry experts saying it has nothing to do with that it's negligence poor forest management but

00:27:12.440 obviously it is so conveniently blamed on climate change yeah i think canadians need to start asking

00:27:19.960 themselves at what point at what point does the negligence mismanagement incompetence result in real

00:27:28.120 consequences because this fire is devastating for the people of jasper and the surrounding communities

00:27:35.400 they've lost their homes businesses literally everything they based their lives on and you could argue

00:27:43.400 that the results are a direct consequence of the liberal government's failure to prevent this from

00:27:51.720 happening failure to shield this town and protect the people there who were under their care they had

00:27:59.560 a duty to do that but they didn't because they focused on these pie in the sky targets that don't actually

00:28:08.440 manifest these environmental targets don't actually manifest any real results things keep getting

00:28:14.680 burnt up and they've ignored the the real actions that prevent forest fires like you said forest management

00:28:22.520 equipping firefighters with the right equipment it's simple it's just logical things that you have to think

00:28:28.520 of when you're dealing with emergency preparedness and they've also tanked the forestry industry here in bc and

00:28:36.040 the forest tree industry has a role to play in actually managing forests they cut down older trees they remove

00:28:44.360 debris from forests they plant new fresh trees it's it's ridiculous and they've taken all these steps

00:28:51.560 for what just so that they can get some global clout at the un and at the cop summits meanwhile the consequences

00:28:59.560 our people's lives are ruined and worse when people potentially die yeah so and not only that i mean

00:29:07.240 we're we're resulting in potential deaths we're resulting in billions of dollars of damages we're

00:29:13.080 resulting in one of the crown jewels one of the natural crown jewels of the world likely one of the

00:29:17.320 most beautiful natural places in the world uh being destroyed and here's the thing they always talk about

00:29:24.120 lowering carbon emissions that's what trudeau and guibo always talk about that's why there's a carbon tax

00:29:28.360 that's why they constantly that's why they refuse to fund and support canada's natural resources

00:29:34.200 industry because we need to lower our carbon emissions isaac but here's the thing that they

00:29:38.040 don't tell you that the wildfire season in 2023 just the wildfires alone not the oil industry not cars

00:29:44.920 not any of else what they say the wildfires alone emitted more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere

00:29:51.000 than all but three nations in the world the 2023 wildfire emitted more carbon than every other

00:29:58.360 country except for china india and the united states so if you wanted to lower carbon emissions in canada

00:30:04.360 they could actually do that by preventing forest fires isaac yeah and also don't forests absorb carbon

00:30:11.160 so when they burn down pretty much you're you're losing a a net net negative as well so it's a double

00:30:18.840 whammy if you want to call it that it's it's it's unbelievable it's unbelievable and then and then to

00:30:24.200 basically use these policies use these climate policies which is what peter schultz um a former

00:30:30.840 jasper park senior planner alleged as far back as 2008 so this is a long issue long long time problem

00:30:38.920 where certain political groups in and around jasper right he blames them and parks canada for

00:30:46.600 basically believing that any cutting down of any tree is a crime that it you know that it is like

00:30:52.760 taking a life that so they have allowed these groups and parks canada have been infiltrated by

00:30:59.480 political activists it appears and these aren't not my comments these are comments from someone who

00:31:03.880 worked at the park to dictate forest management policies stopping lumber companies as you pointed out

00:31:10.280 cosmon from clearing out areas of the forest from actually building what they call fire blocks in the

00:31:16.200 middle of the forest and from stopping from stopping the clearing out of dead wood the pine

00:31:21.880 beetle that is killing this killing these trees from stopping that from building up on the on the forest

00:31:26.440 floor like it's so common sense but yet we've basically allowed for us to be sacrificed for climate

00:31:33.800 change policies i can't think of anything worse just to stick on the negligence aspect of this

00:31:39.800 the vast majority of the negative consequences of the destruction etc comes from a lack of preparedness

00:31:47.000 and a lack of of actually doing anything to prevent this from happening on the part of government here

00:31:53.320 in bc not too long ago there was flooding in the fraser valley in abbotsford particularly mission uh

00:32:00.440 chilliwack that area there and it was revealed that the government there both municipal and provincial

00:32:08.520 government were warned way way way back years ago like i think even a decade earlier that the dikes 1.00

00:32:14.840 were not prepared for another major flooding incident because one happened about half a century prior

00:32:20.760 so they were aware of this they didn't do anything to prevent it their flood system was not uh upgraded

00:32:28.520 it wasn't managed to the degree where it could have prevented much of the damage that happened to farms and

00:32:34.440 that's the main people who were actually affected by this climate event but what it actually was it was

00:32:40.520 a mismanagement event the government failed people failed to act and invested their time in priorities

00:32:48.440 making like climate change uh emergency declarations instead of actually getting people on the ground

00:32:55.800 putting up sandbags reinforcing dikes creating those floodgates we try to end the show with some uh

00:33:03.880 less serious topics some more light-hearted topics but it won't be very light-hearted for uh isaac or i

00:33:10.600 because both of our teams our hockey teams had a rough start to the season on on wednesday night

00:33:16.840 but the news of the nhl season has been completely trumped by the hiring of a fee the first female nhl

00:33:25.400 assistant coach jessica campbell by the seattle kraken everybody is going crazy over this because it's so

00:33:31.560 impactful the first female coach has been hired now we have some disagreement here amongst the

00:33:36.360 true north staff some of us believe this is a clear example of dei getting its way into hockey a place

00:33:42.680 where it does not belong and others don't believe so isaac you don't believe the hiring of jessica

00:33:47.880 campbell is dei i will yeah uh i don't know i looked into her history a bit obviously she had various medals

00:33:56.840 some gold ones from international play and even more so she began coaching in 2017 so how long is

00:34:03.640 that seven years now uh so as the owner of jc power skating her clientele included nhl player tyson

00:34:10.760 joe's tyson joe's stanley cup champion joel edmondson and olympic gold medalist natalie spooner so pretty

00:34:17.160 good list there and then in july 2022 she was hired as the assistant coach of the coachella valley firebirds

00:34:25.080 which was the top minor league affiliate of the nhl's seattle kraken for whom she now coaches

00:34:30.120 or assistant coaches sorry she obviously became the first woman to be employed on a full-time 0.99

00:34:35.240 basis in the ahl as well and then as you mentioned this week she became the first female coach to be

00:34:42.520 behind the bench in engine in nhl history so well i i will admit with you and harrison that um

00:34:49.560 dei may have played a part because seattle's like oh we're gonna hire this woman you know it might 1.00

00:34:53.480 look good for us but at the same time she does have an impressive resume they didn't just pick 1.00

00:34:58.280 some random woman off the street and we were talking earlier about how kyle dubas of the

00:35:02.440 toronto maple leafs may have had an even less impressive resume than her you know i don't know 0.56

00:35:07.800 much hockey is not my number one sport i do love watching hockey now in canada i have to say

00:35:12.200 i don't follow it very closely not as close to some others at true north but i looked into this story

00:35:17.800 and i see that she has had a rapid rise through the ranks of hockey very rapid likely faster than

00:35:25.160 most uh most male coaches it says here that uh in 2021 2022 she got her job as the assistant coach

00:35:33.640 for the nirnberg ice tigers and then i guess it would have been within a year and a half later she's

00:35:39.400 in the ahl and then the very next season she's at the nhl uh it seems very quick hiring and another

00:35:45.240 thing i will say cosmon is you know what gives it away for me about this being dei is that

00:35:51.000 everybody's going absolutely absurd over this saying this is so historic so historic is the

00:35:55.960 first woman they're doing you know special segments and videos for it but if she was 1.00

00:36:00.520 completely deserving of it why bother just let it go under the radar and let her just stand on her

00:36:05.240 own two feet and let her work show for itself well look i i'm not a huge hockey expert but the other

00:36:13.000 thing that's overlooked is this is seattle washington state this is like one of the most liberal progressive

00:36:20.120 states on the west coast i've been to seattle uh it's actually a dump now the local government has

00:36:26.680 ruined that city it's almost as bad if not more widespread uh in than vancouver in terms of their

00:36:33.880 drug addiction issues and crime i saw a person there uh there was an ambulance trying to come through

00:36:40.280 we were just driving through downtown and he was pointing like a finger gun at the ambulance in

00:36:45.640 the middle of the crosswalk and it couldn't pass by him it is one of the quintessential left-wing

00:36:53.320 radical antifa places in this in the entire united states so i'm not surprised i'm really not surprised

00:37:00.440 it's coming from seattle isaac what do you make of just the general direction of the nhl we've seen some

00:37:05.720 shocking examples of this dei woke nonsense i believe that they they helped they held some

00:37:11.320 sort of uh there was a transgender event that they held a hockey game about two years ago we've seen

00:37:17.640 all their you know their the the black lives matter messaging on the hockey ice i mean surely like all the

00:37:24.200 other sports this sort of thing should be left off the ice yeah i i remember last year obviously we saw that

00:37:31.160 big pushback against pride events in the nhl because so many players were saying look we are

00:37:36.680 not participating in this uh which led to a bunch of controversy but that that's really what what it

00:37:42.280 came down to harrison it's like we're here to watch hockey we're here to get away from the politics of of

00:37:47.160 everyday life we just want to watch a sport we love and and wind down you know let's focus on the sport

00:37:52.920 the game we don't need to bring all of these woke initiatives into it you know it's like a lot of

00:37:59.000 hockey players we from what we can see are actually conservatives they don't believe any of this

00:38:03.960 crazy nonsense and we we kind of know part of that because we have seen through the true north channel

00:38:09.800 some retired nhlers that follow our accounts and follow our work so we appreciate all those guys for

00:38:16.200 liking what we produce at true north with that let's wrap it up and i guess the slogan goes

00:38:22.600 everything you've just heard was off the record

00:38:32.440 so did the oilers really lose six nothing isaac or was that uh slightly we have improved because

00:38:38.040 last year we got smoked eight one so uh based on that logic we got to game seven of the stanley cup

00:38:42.760 finals i mean we may never lose again there you go that's some optimist that's some optimism as uh as

00:38:49.160 our as our managing uh editor or managing uh producer said that kind of optimism is maple leafs level

00:38:55.480 optimism i have to say

00:39:03.880 you

00:39:03.960 you
