00:00:00.000 Harrison Falcon reporting for True North in Hamilton, Ontario outside the bread bar
00:00:23.820 where Justin Trudeau and his cabinet are currently having dinner for their cabinet retreat.
00:00:28.200 Well, there aren't a lot of journalists out here doing their job except for, of course, True North and my friend Mocha Bezergin,
00:00:34.720 independent journalist working for the Countersignal right now.
00:00:37.820 We met the Prime Minister downstairs and walked in them for three minutes,
00:00:41.980 asking them the questions that Canadians want answered.
00:00:44.600 But where were the other journalists? Take a look at our coverage.
00:00:50.980 Mr. Prime Minister, will you go outside and speak to Canadians?
00:00:58.200 No, I'm going to talk to her after we'll ask you to talk to the guy in your pocket.
00:01:03.040 Will you resign if the Emergencies Act Commissioner finds her invocation of the Emergencies Act unjustified, Prime Minister?
00:01:10.960 A lot of Canadians are angry right now. Do you have any message to them?
00:01:13.540 How do we lower the temperature in Canada, Mr. Prime Minister?
00:01:21.380 One year on from the Freedom Convly, do you regret not meeting with any of the protesters?
00:01:27.500 A lot of protesters outside. Would you have any interest in talking to them?
00:01:30.180 Hundreds of Canadians have gathered outside the restaurant to have their voices heard,
00:01:36.620 where protesters have brought out an inflatable sheep with a 99.8% survival rate sign out the front of it.
00:01:44.020 Good to know humor has not died in this country.
00:01:47.260 I also had the chance to catch up with Trudeau's cabinet downstairs where I met the Prime Minister.
00:01:51.780 Here's what that looked like as well.
00:01:55.020 Ministers, why won't you guys walk outside and speak to Canadians?
00:01:58.880 Why do you guys think there are so many protesters outside?
00:02:08.080 How can we lower the temperature in this country, Minister Gubeau?
00:02:12.540 Well, by fighting climate change, it would be a good way to lower the temperature.
00:02:17.140 Do you feel like the government is not fighting climate change enough?
00:02:19.760 Because the temperature is quite high.
00:02:23.120 You're driving, man.
00:02:24.680 Now we're going to take a train.
00:02:25.760 Minister Blair, if the Public Order Emergency Commission finds your government, invoke the Emergencies Act wrongfully, what will you do?
00:02:35.320 Will you apologize to Canadians?
00:02:36.640 I caught up with protesters here and asked them what they would say to the Prime Minister if they could sit down with him face to face and have a real conversation.
00:02:49.360 Here's what some of them had to say.
00:02:51.660 I tell him to stop what he's doing.
00:02:53.160 Stop the tyranny.
00:02:54.420 Stop the tyranny.
00:02:55.280 Stop treating the Canadian people the way he's treating them.
00:02:57.440 Why do you have to treat us like this?
00:02:59.800 You know, you're treating good people bad.
00:03:02.180 Why do you have to do this?
00:03:03.480 Why can't you?
00:03:04.060 Do you have anything in here?
00:03:05.280 Do you have a heart, buddy?
00:03:06.480 Obviously you don't.
00:03:08.000 You can't ignore your people.
00:03:09.940 You know, I only went to Ottawa for two days last year and I've seen a million Canadians stand up, millions of Canadians stand up across Canada.
00:03:16.760 And he still wouldn't acknowledge us.
00:03:18.860 He apparently got COVID, so we waited seven days and then he still wouldn't come out.
00:03:22.400 I waited those three weeks when it was minus 28.
00:03:25.220 The one thing that all of us have in common is we were all removed from that city and none of us were acknowledged.
00:03:30.200 He went on national television and said that we had unacceptable views, but how could he even know this if he's not to acknowledge us?
00:03:37.120 My one thing would be, you know, we're not a fringe rear people.
00:03:39.680 We have a voice and we deserve to be heard.
00:03:41.240 Why are you being such a coward and ignoring your Canadians?
00:03:44.700 You know, like, you're a coward.
00:03:48.200 Look at all these police officers who have to protect you from peaceful people.
00:03:53.420 Like, that's not right.
00:03:55.000 Like, you know you've done something wrong.
00:03:58.120 If I was sitting face to face to him, I'd ask him, why such a knee-jerk response to peaceful protests at Parliament?
00:04:08.140 Why wouldn't he come out and talk to those people?
00:04:10.040 Those people who sacrificed the most important thing in their life, their time, just to talk to him.
00:04:17.000 Send him a message that Canadians were done with the lockdowns and mandates.
00:04:22.180 Doing the job the legacy media are failing to do, reporting from Hamilton for True North, Harrison Falkman.
00:04:27.540 Do some people that enable him to do near the theology of equity here.
00:04:32.500 Do some people have died now.
00:04:34.380 They don't have confidence in themselves.
00:04:45.740 Do some people need advice against himself.
00:04:47.840 I personally have crossed my mind, right?
