00:00:00.000 The Trudeau government finally passes its Emergencies Act, giving itself unprecedented
00:00:03.760 power to crush political dissidents. This comes despite the fact that there are no blockades at
00:00:08.380 our borders, there are no borders being blocked, and the peaceful unarmed protesters in Ottawa
00:00:12.720 were already moved out by a militarized police force. I'm Candice Malcolm and this is The Candice
00:00:17.300 Malcolm Show. Hi everyone, thank you so much for tuning in. I hope you had a great weekend. I hope
00:00:25.400 you enjoyed the long weekend and family day with your families, despite all of the craziness that
00:00:30.360 is going on in our country, despite the fact that our prime minister is using a militarized police
00:00:34.900 force against unarmed and peaceful protests, the fact that they went around democratic practices,
00:00:40.100 that they are changing democratic norms in this country, that the fact that the media are there
00:00:44.800 cheering them on and the liberals are pushing a propaganda campaign that I've never seen anything
00:00:50.160 like. I've been a critic of Canadian media for a very long time. I have never seen anything like
00:00:54.340 this, where the media and the Trudeau government are in complete lockset up, pushing a set of facts
00:00:59.380 that are not true, pushing propaganda that is so transparently untrue to the facts on the ground.
00:01:05.480 And we have been documenting and showing you the facts on the ground. We have been showing you who
00:01:10.140 the truckers are, what they're doing, why they are there, the good nature of this protest. And you
00:01:14.960 juxtapose that with the way that the Trudeau government and the Trudeau media are covering this,
00:01:19.920 as if it is some kind of a terrorist threat, some kind of an occupation and an insurrection.
00:01:24.340 And they're really doubling down and ramping up that language, making Canadians, Canadians who
00:01:28.740 just get their news from the media, Canadians who get their news from the CBC and trust what the CBC
00:01:32.660 says and vote for Justin Trudeau have such a distorted view of what is going on. They now believe,
00:01:38.660 thanks to the media, that there is a group of white nationalist insurrectionists. That's all that
00:01:43.620 the truckers were all along, a nasty group of evil white supremacist Nazis who were trying to overthrow
00:01:49.220 the Trudeau government. That's the narrative. That's what they want you to believe. Forget about the facts,
00:01:52.740 forget about the situation on the ground. It is really unbelievable. It is a scary situation.
00:01:56.340 We're going to walk through the whole thing. I hope, however, despite that, despite the craziness
00:02:00.260 that's going on, and it is disheartening. I know that a lot of people are really upset by the fact
00:02:04.580 that Canadians are having their bank account seized, the fact that the media is painting working class
00:02:09.300 truckers and a peaceful uprising in such a ridiculously negative light. It's disheartening.
00:02:15.720 All of that said, I hope you had a nice relaxing weekend with your family. I hope you got some time,
00:02:19.940 some downtime offline off of Twitter to enjoy the things that matter in this life, like spending
00:02:25.940 time with your family and your kids. I know I got to enjoy that and I really, really appreciate it.
00:02:30.900 Okay. So Monday evening, the House of Commons voted in favor of giving itself the powers of the
00:02:36.100 Emergencies Act. You might be wondering, isn't the emergency over? Didn't they clear parliament
00:02:40.500 already? Aren't all the trucks gone? Yes, that is correct. They finally got around to voting for it.
00:02:45.140 Recall on Friday, they were supposed to be debating this thing to see whether or not they were
00:02:49.540 actually going to put it into action. Well, apparently they didn't even need the democratic
00:02:53.380 approval because Justin Trudeau just went ahead and militarized the police and sent them out there
00:02:57.460 to break up this protest without parliamentary approval, without the oversight of the House of
00:03:03.060 Commons. Again, undermining our democratic norms in this society. Well, on Friday, they said that they
00:03:08.340 couldn't debate the Emergencies Act because they had already unleashed the Emergencies Act. And the
00:03:11.780 Emergencies Act meant that there was a police operation in Ottawa, which meant that they were unable
00:03:15.780 to debate the Emergencies Act, if you can follow that logic. Monday, they finally got around to it.
00:03:19.940 So the vote ended up being 185 MPs voted in favor of it. So that was all of the Liberals,
00:03:25.620 all of the NDP and one Green member. 151 MPs voted against it. That would have been all the
00:03:31.060 Conservatives, all the Bloc members and the other Green Party MP. So there were a few Liberals who spoke
00:03:36.740 out against the bill. Nonetheless, they still gave the bill a pass. And the NDP is just a complete joke
00:03:42.180 of a party at this point. It is so far removed from the party of leaders like Tommy Douglas and
00:03:47.540 Jack Layton, who would have never approved the use of Emergencies Act power for any government under
00:03:52.100 any circumstances, aside from perhaps a real war, a real foreign invasion, perhaps. But even given
00:03:58.820 the NDP's anti-war sentiment, probably not even that. Jagmeet Singh is just an absolute shell of an
00:04:04.980 individual, a shill of a politician. And I think I don't understand the purpose of the NDP at this
00:04:10.100 point because they might as well just join the Liberal Party. They're giving Liberals unprecedented
00:04:13.620 power. They're treating the Liberals as if it's a majority government. It isn't. This is the smallest
00:04:18.100 minority government in Canadian history. Justin Trudeau won with the smallest share of the popular
00:04:22.820 vote and the smallest share of vote in Canadian history. Not a strong, not a strong majority
00:04:28.740 government, a weak minority government. And yet here he is walking away with no power. He didn't even
00:04:32.900 bother to show up to the vote last night. What an absolute disgrace. So as you recall,
00:04:37.380 Monday, February 14th, a week and a day ago, Justin Trudeau originally invoked the Emergencies Act.
00:04:42.740 At that point, the Ambassador Bridge, which was the main focal point, saying that our provincial
00:04:48.020 government no longer had the capacity and this was now a threat somehow to our sovereignty because
00:04:51.780 this bridge was blocked. Well, the bridge had already been cleared on the day that Justin Trudeau
00:04:56.180 invoked the Emergency Act using existing powers, meaning that the justification of the Emergency Act
00:05:00.500 was never there. It was never justified in the first place. Regardless, here we are,
00:05:04.580 eight days later, invoking it. So Justin Trudeau's new powers include the following,
00:05:10.100 enabling the RCMP to have the jurisdiction to enforce municipal bylaws and provincial offenses,
00:05:15.220 prohibiting taking part in public assembly where it's considered a breach of peace and goes beyond
00:05:19.940 lawful protest, regulating the use of certain property, including goods used in blockades,
00:05:25.060 designated secure and protected places and infrastructure that are critical to the economy,
00:05:28.900 such as border crossings and airports, compelling those capable to rendering essential services.
00:05:33.620 So this is a case of the tow truck drivers who were forced against their will to tow vehicles,
00:05:37.780 even if they did not want to. Authorizing financial institutions to essentially stop the financing
00:05:42.100 efforts, including immediate freezing or suspending of affiliated accounts without a court order.
00:05:46.900 This is the absolute scariest one, and we've been seeing this used already. Here is Deputy Prime
00:05:51.460 Minister and Finance Minister, Chrystia Freeland, explaining how the government will steal your money. Here's that clip.
00:05:57.380 So you're confirming that accounts have been frozen, both personal and corporate, but you're not
00:06:02.020 releasing the information. And the actual follow-up is, I'm just wondering whether the bank accounts will
00:06:07.140 be targeted of individuals who donated to the Give, Send, Go and the GoFundMe campaigns. Are they considered
00:06:13.300 designated people under the Emergencies Act, meaning that their credit cards could be cut and financial
00:06:18.340 services are targeting them as well? Okay, so the names of both individuals and entities,
00:06:26.900 as well as crypto wallets, have been shared by the RCMP with financial institutions, and accounts have been
00:06:38.580 frozen, and more accounts will be frozen. Crowdfunding platforms and payment service providers have
00:06:47.940 started the registration process with FinTrack. In terms of the specifics on whose accounts are being frozen, you now
00:07:00.580 have the regulations. The financial service providers have those regulations as well, and they, working with law
00:07:10.180 enforcement, will be making the operational decisions. And finally, imposing fines of up to $5,000 or
00:07:16.900 imprisonment for up to five years for anyone who breaches the above order. So there you have it. We live in
00:07:22.020 a militarized country that doesn't have the rule of law, that doesn't have the basics foundation of a liberal
00:07:26.820 democracy, such as due process and the presumption of innocence. So one of the organizers, Tamara Lynch,
00:07:32.980 has been denied bail today, Tuesday morning, saying that she may face a lengthy imprisonment. So things are
00:07:39.780 not looking good for some of the organizers there. And so there are now a number of reports of Canadians having their
00:07:46.420 bank accounts frozen. So Keith Wilson, who is one of the lawyers of the Freedom Convoy, said this, I am
00:07:51.300 representing nine Canadians with either bank accounts frozen and insurance policies canceled. None of them
00:07:55.780 were charged with any offenses. Most had no trucks in Ottawa or elsewhere. The Trudeau government is destroying
00:08:01.140 these Canadians because they spoke out who is next. Scary stuff. Mark Strahl, who is a conservative MP from
00:08:08.260 Chilliwack Hope, he wrote this, Brianne is a single mom from Chilliwack working a minimum wage job. She gave $50 to
00:08:14.740 the convoy when it was 100% legal. She hasn't participated in any other way. Her bank account
00:08:19.940 has been frozen. This is who Justin Trudeau is actually targeting with his emergencies order.
00:08:25.940 Unbelievable stuff. This is terrifying. This is the kind of stuff that keeps people up at night because
00:08:30.500 you donated to a Give, Send, Go or GoFundMe campaign. Keep in mind there was 90,000 donors and
00:08:36.500 that was just one of them. There's hundreds of thousands of people in Canada around the world donated to
00:08:41.780 the truckers because they wanted to support the truckers because they supported the idea of a
00:08:46.100 convoy going to Ottawa to say end the mandates. They supported the idea of freedom. They wanted
00:08:50.100 their lives to get back to normal. They believed in the truckers. Go back to the early days. Remember
00:08:54.660 when Canadians were lining the highways, lining the overpasses to cheer on these truckers? It was a
00:09:00.500 community movement. Well, the Trudeau government is now targeting people who supported that movement. It is
00:09:06.100 absolutely unconscionable and I hope that these people get their lives back. I hope that they fight
00:09:11.460 Trudeau. I hope that they sue them. I hope that the conservatives throw everything they can at
00:09:15.940 stopping this. Dan Albus who is also a conservative MP from the central Okanagan in interior British
00:09:20.660 Columbia there. He writes this question to Jagmeet Singh who is the terrible awful leader of the NDP party.
00:09:27.060 Your own brother-in-law donated to the convoy. Is this overreach or something you will continue to
00:09:32.180 support in PM Trudeau's version of the Emergency Act? Likewise, Andy Lee, who is an independent
00:09:37.620 journalist, she got booted off of Twitter a couple weeks ago. Her husband is saying this,
00:09:41.540 the federal government has also locked out journalists, Andy Lee's bank account and credit
00:09:45.780 cards. This is crazy. Justin Trudeau is going after journalists. What is happening in Canada? Great
00:09:49.860 question. What is happening in Canada? Well, what is happening in Canada? It's a great question. Well,
00:09:54.580 over the weekend, what did we see? We saw a militarized police zone using undue force,
00:10:00.020 using over the top force and completely disproportionate force against a group of
00:10:04.980 unarmed and peaceful protests just by very virtue of them being in Ottawa meant that they were the
00:10:09.940 target of the police and the Trudeau government's efforts. And unsurprisingly, it devolved into a
00:10:16.020 very chaotic, very dangerous situation. So I'll show you some of the low lights from the weekend
00:10:21.940 of police brutality. Let me just make this point. If this was happening at any other circumstance
00:10:26.820 in recent history, if this was happening at any other point in the last two years against any
00:10:30.740 other group, not, if this was not a group of working class truckers, of people who said we
00:10:36.340 want, we've had enough of this government overreach of this, of this medical tyranny that we've been
00:10:40.500 living under, if it was any other group, and you saw images like this of the police, the left would
00:10:45.060 be on the complete other side, there would be over the top calls for these cops to be fired,
00:10:49.380 be reprimanded to defund the police, any, any small act of police using force, not even
00:10:55.060 disproportionate force, just police using force in their job over the past two years has been
00:10:59.460 completely blown out of proportion as an instance of police brutality and why we ought to defend the
00:11:04.020 police. Okay. The same people who spent the last two years yelling about that issue are now either
00:11:09.460 completely silent or they're cheering on the police brutality because they are cracking down on a group
00:11:15.620 of conservative adjacent or conservative aligned protesters, people who come from a working class
00:11:20.260 background. It is so stark. It is so hypocritical. It is unbelievable. Regardless, here is, here are a
00:11:25.700 couple of instances of what it looked like. So first we have a veteran who is manhandled by police
00:11:30.820 officers need several times in the kidney. Here's what that looked like.
00:11:46.260 Next, we have a protester who is hauled away by cops. Watch for the end of the clip because a police
00:12:03.540 officer takes his rifle, takes his gun and uses it to beat a protester with the stock of his gun. You
00:12:09.780 can see him do two solid blows there with the stock of his gun. This is police brutality. This is totally
00:12:15.060 unacceptable. Here is what that looked like.
00:12:32.580 Next, here is a police officer arresting protests and hitting him once he's already on the ground.
00:12:45.060 And so as the police were using increasingly violent tactics in order to crack down on these
00:12:55.700 peaceful protesters, they at some point decided to bring in horses to what do some kind of crowd
00:13:01.060 control. I don't even understand. This is right outside the Chateau Laurier Hotel, an upscale hotel
00:13:05.140 right in the heart of parliament, right in the center of Ottawa. They bring out the police. And as you can see
00:13:10.420 in the kerfuffle, in the excitement of police going through a crowd, trampled two individuals, knocked
00:13:16.020 them over, stepped on one of the women, including an 80-year-old First Nations woman. Here is what that
00:13:20.740 looked like. This is tough to watch, but here is what this looks like.
00:13:23.060 Just in case you want to see how bad it is, this is the aerial still. You can see the horses trampling
00:13:43.620 on two individuals who just failed to get out of the way. You can see from the footage there that it
00:13:47.540 wasn't like people knew that these horses were coming. They kind of came out of nowhere. They
00:13:50.980 whipped around the corner. People moved back. These two individuals clearly didn't see what was going
00:13:55.060 on. The woman who was knocked over, the 80-year-old woman, was on a mobility scooter. And from the aerial
00:13:59.860 picture, you could see the scooter on the ground. So it's not like this is an agile woman who would
00:14:03.860 just easily get out of the way. She obviously had no idea this was coming. And I don't know what was
00:14:08.820 worse. The fact that this is the way that the police were behaving and acting, or the fact that there
00:14:13.060 was a lot of people cheering them on, cheering this kind of thing on, and that the media didn't really
00:14:18.260 bat an eye. Didn't really bat an eye over the use. If anything, they were out there saying,
00:14:22.020 oh, this isn't trampling. These people weren't trampling. And we had something new that I've never
00:14:26.340 seen before. The Ottawa police were tweeting in real time, pushing out their own propaganda version
00:14:31.300 of events. So they weren't really taking questions. They weren't really responding to journalists. At one
00:14:34.820 point, I was on the phones trying to confirm whether or not anyone had been killed in the protest.
00:14:40.820 No response. No replies. I left messages. I called multiple lines. I emailed. I sent the messages on
00:14:46.180 Twitter. No response whatsoever. The only response you get from the Ottawa police is they're tweeting
00:14:52.020 their own timeline of events in their own perspective, twisting and spinning the facts to
00:14:57.060 fit their narrative of what was going on. So here's an example of that. Ottawa police wrote,
00:15:02.340 we hear your concern for people on the ground after the horses dispersed a crowd. Anyone who fell got up
00:15:07.780 and walked away. We're unaware of any injuries. A bicycle was thrown at a horse further down the line
00:15:12.660 and caused the horse to trip. The horse was uninjured. Okay. So a lot of people on Twitter
00:15:17.060 were really upset about this because the idea that everyone who was hurt got up and walked away,
00:15:21.780 well, it just simply isn't true. Here's a woman who was trampled. Her name is Candy. And she wrote this
00:15:28.100 care to correct the no injuries statement, Ottawa police. I was nearly killed. Again, 80 year old First
00:15:33.060 Nations woman. Usually this would be the kind of woman that the left would hold up as a victim of police
00:15:38.820 brutality and they would be on her side and they would be there demanding resignation of the officers
00:15:43.860 of whoever ordered that the police chief of the local politicians. But instead, because of the
00:15:49.220 backdrop of this freedom convoy, nothing, nothing, no, no, you don't hear anything from the left in
00:15:55.300 support of this woman. It is absolutely wild. And this whole nonsense about a bicycle being thrown at
00:16:01.060 a horse. Again, I tried to verify that I looked at a lot of footage over the weekend. A lot of people
00:16:05.620 were saying that the bicycle was actually just that mobility scooter. Cause if you go back to that
00:16:08.980 aerial photo, you can see how the horse knocked over the woman with the air, with the mobility
00:16:13.140 scooter and that is lying on the ground. And so people were like, is that what you're talking
00:16:16.820 about? Throwing a bicycle is actually just the mobility scooter. Well, someone did send me footage
00:16:20.980 of a man with a bicycle, but he had no, in no way, in no way did he throw this at the police. He,
00:16:26.260 he used a bicycle to pull himself back. And if anything, to stop the police from beating him,
00:16:30.660 he kind of had the bike in front of him and then you can see him leave. So this whole idea that he threw
00:16:35.140 it at a horse and the horse was causing the horse to trip is just completely, completely untrue.
00:16:41.380 Okay. There is more. So here is the police hauling away a protester
00:16:45.700 and kneeing him once he's on the ground. Here's what that looked like.
00:16:58.420 And so it wasn't just this kind of force and kneeing people and hitting people with guns that we saw.
00:17:02.580 We also saw the police start using pepper spray or some kind of a chemical irritant. And you can see
00:17:07.700 in this clip, the Ottawa police are just sort of wildly spraying this pepper spray. It's not targeted
00:17:11.940 at any individual. If there's an individual in a crowd who is being, who is, who is ruckus and who
00:17:16.740 is causing chaos and you want to target that one individual, presumably that is what the pepper spray
00:17:21.620 is for. No, in this case, you're just sort of willy nilly, just spraying the crowd, getting anybody
00:17:26.580 who's there sort of punishing them for being there. Here's what that looked like. So caught
00:17:34.020 up in all of this chaos was our own Andrew Lawton journalist. Andrew Lawton was on the ground for
00:17:37.380 True North throughout the entire weekend. He was doing live streams. He was reporting. He was talking
00:17:41.380 to people. He was trying to keep an eye on what was happening in the same way as many journalists.
00:17:45.540 There was lots and lots of journalists from lots of outlets who were right there sort of on the front
00:17:49.700 lines or a few steps back to the front lines, filming this whole thing, taking pictures, relaying
00:17:54.980 the information to Canadians and to people all over the world because people all over the world were
00:17:59.140 watching. So Andrew Lawton was in there. He was doing that. And for the crime of committing journalism,
00:18:04.900 Andrew Lawton was pepper sprayed in the face by a cop. It seemed to be targeted. It seemed to be
00:18:10.100 aimed directly at him. So here is what Andrew looked like afterwards. Not a pleasant feeling to be
00:18:15.540 sprayed in the face pretty much point blank or at least at close range with pepper spray. He got it
00:18:20.580 really bad. And because of that, we here at True North, I decided to retain a lawyer. So I've hired
00:18:25.700 a lawyer. We're now working with a lawyer on behalf of True North and our journalist Andrew Lawton. We
00:18:29.380 are suing the police for assault and for targeting a working journalist. Andrew was just there doing his
00:18:33.940 job, trying to cover this event, trying to relay the information to Canadians. So we want to send a
00:18:38.260 message to the police and to Justin Trudeau and his emergency order. You don't get to beat up on
00:18:42.420 journalists in this country. This is Canada. You do not get to do that.
00:18:45.380 And we will see you in court. Unfortunately, Andrew Lawton was not the only journalist to
00:18:49.380 be the victim of police brutality over the weekend. Alexa Lavoie over at The Rebel was
00:18:54.100 beat up by a police officer. This is unbelievable footage. She was pushed. She was hit multiple times
00:18:59.780 with a baton from a large male police officers on the line. She was sprayed with pepper spray. And
00:19:05.140 finally, she was shot in the leg at point blank from a few feet away with some kind of a rubber bullet
00:19:10.820 or a tear gas canister. This woman was brutalized and beat up by a cop all caught on camera. Here is
00:19:17.540 what that looked like. And just to warn you, this is pretty gruesome. It is pretty hard to watch,
00:19:21.300 but I think it's important to show you what was happening to a working journalist
00:19:25.940 in our country over the weekend. Here's that clip.
00:19:35.940 Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
00:19:47.940 You just fired and pro this! You just fired and pro this!
00:19:49.940 Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
00:19:55.940 You all right? Not shot.
00:19:58.260 so with with a journalist sprayed in the face with pepper spray another one brutalized and hit with
00:20:06.480 a baton multiple times you would think the mainstream media the legacy media there would
00:20:10.720 be some kind of solidarity with journalists in this country that you would hear from legacy media
00:20:15.000 saying hey that kind of force against journalists is absolutely not acceptable in this country so
00:20:20.800 did we hear that no no we didn't hear that what did we hear instead well the journalists thought
00:20:25.100 it was disgusting not it wasn't disgusting that andrew lawton was sprayed with pepper spray it
00:20:29.440 wasn't disgusting that alexa lavoire was beaten with a baton what was disgusting well there was
00:20:33.880 this clip that was circulating of a quebec tv journalist who got pushed on air by a protester
00:20:38.600 here is what that looked like
00:20:39.860 incredibly stupid stuff okay whoever pushed whoever pushed a journalist on air is just completely
00:20:53.960 stupid there's no reason to do this it is mean it is stupid it doesn't help anyone if anything all it
00:20:59.120 does is galvanizes people against you it proves legacy media's point correct that the protesters
00:21:05.160 are just a violent group of thugs and that they're here to harass intimidate the media and the legacy
00:21:10.320 media did exactly what you would expect and milk every last ounce of that clip that that footage
00:21:16.000 of one guy getting pushed that is the big story for the journalists out of the news they forget about
00:21:21.460 all the police brutality that i just showed you forget about a guy getting hit with the stock of
00:21:25.340 a gun forget about a woman getting trampled by a horse forget about a young female journalist
00:21:29.980 getting beat up with a police baton they didn't cover any of that they don't care about any of that
00:21:34.680 what do they care about a push a guy getting shoved on air that is the main focus so here's glenn mcgregor
00:21:40.680 saying disgusting every news crew has been harassed repeatedly trying to work this is the first
00:21:47.260 actual on-camera assault of a journalist i've seen first on camera assault what about the on-camera
00:21:53.640 assault of alexa devar what about the on-camera assault of alexa lavar did he not did he not see
00:21:58.860 that or he just doesn't count her as a human being and as a person and as a journalist because he
00:22:03.840 doesn't like the outlet that she works for well journalists again they milk this they jumped on it
00:22:08.840 and and and and again this was a big story so there's a canadian press story that ran in pretty
00:22:14.780 much of all of legacy media outlets journalism experts say threats to press during protests a
00:22:20.220 wake-up call so experts and advocates say the treatment of journalists captured in many cases
00:22:25.120 on video during recent protests against public health measures should be a wake-up call what i've
00:22:30.040 seen over the past two days has been absolutely sickening it's absolutely sickening absolutely
00:22:35.440 sickening said brent joley president of the canadian association of journalists in an interview this is
00:22:40.860 what happens when you have brains scrambled by misinformation younger bipoc female reporters
00:22:47.580 which just means black indigenous or people of color so younger non-white female reporters
00:22:52.000 experience significantly more vitriol than their white male journalist counterparts do according to
00:22:57.160 some expert at carlton university as an odd point to make because the journalist who has been
00:23:03.040 probably one of the most present journalists on the ground in ottawa in talking to the protesters and
00:23:07.540 trying to understand this protest there's not even a canadian a woman from india originally has
00:23:11.660 been living in canada rupa subramania i had her as a guest on my podcast a few weeks ago she's a
00:23:16.660 freelance writer and a columnist over at the national post she wrote this huh basically i fit that
00:23:22.100 description i am a young non-white female the only unpleasant experience i had at the protest was from
00:23:27.460 a mask karen who really accosted me invading my personal space so she completely dispels this whole idea
00:23:33.460 that that young women are getting harassed female journalists can't do their job it's just not true
00:23:39.160 but again they use that one clip of the idiot of the stupid idiot who pushed a journalist on camera
00:23:44.000 whoever that guy is if you know him tell him to give his head a shake tell him to not go anywhere near
00:23:48.800 a freedom convoy protest ever again because he is just completely unhelpful stupid mean and there's no
00:23:55.760 there's no excuse for that it is idiotic i completely condemn it um i'm just waiting for the legacy media
00:24:01.460 to go ahead and condemn the police for beating up and brutalizing journalists who aren't part of
00:24:06.540 legacy media regardless this whole narrative is what has come out of the protest so our minister
00:24:11.440 of foreign affairs melanie jolie jumped in on it she said i am appalled to see canadian journalists
00:24:15.840 assaulted harassed intimidated and prevented from doing their jobs it's unacceptable journalists are
00:24:20.760 critical to our democracy and must be free and safe to do their work so again this is all propaganda
00:24:25.960 it's all aimed at the idea that the truckers are evil that the truckers are nefarious they are a threat
00:24:31.040 to our democracy and that the journalists are the real heroes right you know what i'm unaware of a
00:24:35.620 single case of a legacy media journalist who was actually prevented from doing their job okay were
00:24:39.780 they heckled were they were they jeered was there some jeering was there some booing while they were
00:24:44.020 trying to do the reports yes mostly because the legacy media was spreading misinformation and lying
00:24:48.220 about the truckers from day one were they prevented from doing their jobs no they were not did you know
00:24:52.800 who was prevented from doing their job at times members of the independent press members who aren't part of the
00:24:57.700 government club who don't have government id who were not even allowed into the police militarized
00:25:03.280 occupied zone because they didn't have government id so so this whole idea that they were harassed
00:25:08.700 assaulted intimidated okay the ones that were assaulted were independent journalists the ones
00:25:13.060 who were prevented from doing their job were independent journalists and it was the cops that
00:25:16.240 were preventing them from doing it so again just all totally spin i'll make this point again on the
00:25:20.500 podcast i made it on twitter i said this has a single member of the legacy media tweeted a message of
00:25:24.900 support or solidarity to journalists like andrew lawton or alexa lavar who were assaulted or
00:25:29.400 brutalized and brutalized by police anyone no of course not they would rather pretend that we don't
00:25:33.220 exist they would rather pretend that we were doing something wrong that we deserved it somehow that
00:25:37.220 we shouldn't have been there it's funny how people like evan solomon of ctv were there on the ground
00:25:41.700 the entire time and he was applauded and heralded as a hero for being there and covering it at the same
00:25:47.380 time andrew lawton and alexa lavar the rebel journalists were there and people were like oh what were you even
00:25:52.340 doing in there the police told everyone to leave the police said no media uh you got what you
00:25:55.940 deserved it's like again just insane with the double standards insane with the propaganda well
00:26:00.180 the propaganda continues gary mason of the globe and mail he said out loud what i'm sure a lot of
00:26:05.140 elites are thinking and this is a major problem he wrote this if you are a peaceful law buying canadian
00:26:09.540 citizen not involved in any movement to try to overthrow the government of canada you don't have
00:26:14.020 to worry about having your bank accounts or credit cards frozen fact okay just a quick question for
00:26:19.780 gary mason and other elites like those over at the globe and mail the woman that mark stahl tweeted
00:26:24.900 about the working class single mother who donated fifty dollars to a legal convoy is she is she not
00:26:31.300 peaceful is she not law-eviding i mean this idea that the that the government is only going after
00:26:36.500 those who are trying to overthrow the government is just absolutely wrong and the way that they're
00:26:40.980 making a mockery of this working class program it's bad for the country it's bad for the country
00:26:45.220 when a when a when a group of black lives matter a group of environmentalists or a group of
00:26:49.540 indigenous activists show up on parliament hill when they destroy private property when they rip down
00:26:54.100 statues the elites applaud them and give them space when they block roads and block railways for weeks
00:26:59.460 and weeks at a time the media cheer them on the elites like justin trudeau give them space to have
00:27:04.420 their protests when it happens with a group of working class truckers what happens well the elites they
00:27:10.020 they clutch their pearls they accuse them of trying to overthrow the government and they justify
00:27:15.220 and unpersoned that is absolutely despicable is not a good sign well gary mason is not alone
00:27:20.740 dustin ling who is a freelance reporter journalist activist over in ottawa part of the parliamentary
00:27:26.660 press gallery he took a tweet from the uh conservative leader candace bergen who was condemning trudeau
00:27:33.220 for using the emergencies act and he writes this this is absolutely deranged a group of anti-vax conspiracy
00:27:39.860 theorists organized an occupation of our capital encouraged by the conservative party
00:27:44.420 after three weeks the police are clearing out the city as slowly and non-confrontationally as
00:27:49.140 possible and this is a reaction it's it's it's interesting that justin ling gets taken seriously
00:27:53.860 by anyone in this country he is basically a deranged activist who's constantly just screaming
00:27:58.580 at people and for some reason some people take him seriously i don't understand it well despite all
00:28:03.780 of the all of the propaganda all of the spin from the legacy media trying to parrot liberal talking
00:28:08.820 points and convince you of something that is just not true convince you of a story that is
00:28:12.980 happening that is not based on reality or facts on the ground but again based on what's best for
00:28:17.300 the liberal party and justifying their own power grab so despite that there were some real reporters
00:28:22.020 out there there were some real journalists who were telling you the story of what was going on
00:28:26.100 on the ground interestingly the new york times was one of them i'm not personally a big fan of the
00:28:29.860 new york times it is a leftist news outlet that has the woke mind virus and i don't like their
00:28:34.980 editorial position however their reporting and their investigative stuff is still a gold standard and is
00:28:39.620 absolutely solid so the new york times wrote this breaking news the police arrested demonstrators
00:28:44.100 at gunpoint near the parliament building in ottawa in an effort to end a weeks-long protest well this
00:28:49.300 really really upset the canadian media class it really upset the legacy media because they didn't
00:28:54.100 like someone telling a different story than what they had been telling right they had been telling
00:28:57.540 this idea like justin ling that this was a slow and non-confrontational police effort
00:29:02.260 and that it was in response to a truly dangerous threat that that the people who were there were an
00:29:07.060 occupation insurrection that they were white terrorists the white supremacist terrorists
00:29:11.460 etc etc etc the new york times stepped in a little bit more objective and said something different
00:29:16.580 and the media got really really mad the canadian media so here is carol off who is a host over at
00:29:21.300 the cbc she writes says hey new york times if you don't want to send reporters to the scene then all you
00:29:27.140 have to do is watch canadian tv try a bit harder next time this idea that don't don't send reporters
00:29:32.820 don't actually report from the ground just turn on the cbc see what we're reporting and
00:29:36.820 report that that's basically what she wants the new york times to do well good for the
00:29:40.340 new york times bureau chief maria abi habib she writes back she says this is incorrect we have
00:29:46.020 reporters on the ground we have a canadian bureau staff with veteran canadian reporters i've covered
00:29:50.100 big protests um such as the arab spring etc what one reporter sees another sometimes doesn't because
00:29:55.620 they're on the other side of the demo or they're out having a coffee break well it wasn't just carol off
00:30:00.900 we had a whole bunch of sort of fancy blue checkmark people just getting really really mad at the
00:30:05.860 new york times for giving a different perspective stephanie carvin who is often quoted as an expert
00:30:10.820 she wrote she writes is new york times drunk where are the guns look ottawa police have not covered
00:30:16.820 themselves in glory here but what they are doing is not at gunpoint who is behind the wheel in new
00:30:21.140 york times canada joe butts likewise tweets this i'm not cancelling my subscription at the new york times
00:30:26.740 by the way but this week's events will make me much more skeptical about their foreign coverage so what
00:30:32.500 was it that they didn't like they didn't like the idea that the new york times headline says that
00:30:37.300 they were arresting demonstrators at gunpoint some journalists took aim at the fact that this only
00:30:42.020 happened one or two times and it shouldn't have characterized the entire weekend which is a little
00:30:46.420 ironic because remember the fact that there was one guy waving a nazi flag and that is how the
00:30:51.460 journalists decided to cover the whole convoy but now all of a sudden context matters and the fact that
00:30:55.620 this was only happening in isolated instances meant that it shouldn't have been the way that they
00:30:59.620 characterized the entire uh protest a little bit of irony and hypocrisy there well despite all of
00:31:06.340 these complaining canadian journalists the new york times was correct the new york times bureau chief
00:31:10.820 maria abhi habib was correct there were police arresting protesters at gunpoint here's footage here is
00:31:17.140 what that looked like and it wasn't just the new york times out there on a ledge jesse brown who is
00:31:32.260 an independent journalist not exactly my cup of tea but he also left the legacy media because he was so
00:31:37.540 disgusted by the groupthink and the corrupt journalistic practices at places like the cbc he
00:31:43.380 wrote this on his blog he said new from me yes police did in fact arrest ottawa protesters at gunpoint
00:31:49.780 and every journalist who said they didn't was wrong so here is his tweet and his piece and again that
00:31:55.220 triggered a whole bunch of legacy media journalists but in this instance jesse brown is 100 correct
00:32:00.660 jesse wasn't alone in hitting back at the legacy media and the smears and the lies that they were
00:32:04.980 pushing out andrew shear former leader of the conservative party did his own job of pushing back i i i i love
00:32:11.700 the side of andrew shear i wish we had seen it more when he was leader of the party but here he is
00:32:15.860 calling out the lies in the legacy media and trying at least a little bit to correct the record so
00:32:20.420 evan solomon over at ctv wrote this join us today on ctv as we dig into the police operation to end the
00:32:28.500 occupation on parliament hill and debate the use of emergencies act well andrew shear replied he said
00:32:33.860 this which part of parliament hill was occupied you make it sound like the parliamentary precinct was
00:32:38.580 occupied when in reality wellington street was blocked for vehicles no parliament buildings were
00:32:43.300 occupied anyone could move around on the grounds didn't media jump on the new york times for something
00:32:48.100 similar well glenn mcgregor of ctv jumped in and he wrote the parliamentary precinct includes the pmo
00:32:53.780 buildings the wellington buildings the john a mcdonald buildings the confederation buildings and many
00:32:58.820 others that are not behind the gates around west east and center blocks a former speaker would surely
00:33:04.260 know this she jumped right back in and said mps and staff moved freely in and out of every one of
00:33:09.940 those buildings for weeks so again which one of those buildings were occupied this is absolutely
00:33:14.500 correct right so here's what happened basically the media decided that this protest that the trucker
00:33:19.460 convoy was going to be the january 6th moment it was going to be this far-right insurrection where they
00:33:25.060 breached capital and they tried to overthrow the democratic government that is what they were predicting
00:33:30.100 from the time before the convoy even showed up in ottawa they had experts saying that they were asking
00:33:34.500 justin trudeau if he thought it was going to happen of course none of that happened the truckers
00:33:38.500 were completely well behaved none of that kind of shenanigans happened nothing even close to that
00:33:42.980 happened there were no breaches there was no violence they didn't do anything like that however
00:33:47.620 the media just pretended that they did they just repeated this idea over and over again that this was
00:33:51.460 an insurrection that these buildings are occupied the city was occupied to make people in their
00:33:55.940 minds believe that this is true that somehow this was january 6th even though there was no event
00:33:59.940 like january 6th regardless that's what they kept saying good to see a conservative call them out
00:34:05.540 okay so final footage that i want to show you from the weekend this is from sunday this is a woman who
00:34:10.260 is taking a video walking down the street we still live in a free society in canada we are still allowed
00:34:15.140 to walk down the street in canada we are still allowed to peacefully protest the emergency act even
00:34:20.340 says that you're still allowed to peacefully protest however here's a woman getting harassed by
00:34:26.100 a completely arrogant out of line police officer who goes on to try to knock her phone out of the
00:34:32.020 out of her hand all for the crime by the way of being from alberta that that's what this is all
00:34:36.340 about she's from alberta as soon as she says that they say get out of here get lost you can see just
00:34:40.340 an absolute boorish horrible behavior from our cops this makes me ashamed of these officers and this is
00:34:47.940 absolutely shameful what what a disgrace to be treating a canadian citizen this way on the streets
00:34:53.380 in canada here is what that looked like i just want to get a coffee okay why is the camera in
00:34:59.140 my face right now are you here partaking right now you're in the red zone i'm scared i want to go for
00:35:05.380 a coffee down there okay can i can i go right now you're not excluded time for you to leave i can't
00:35:17.700 even go down there for a coffee go grab yourself a red zone right now if you don't leave right now you
00:35:22.100 will be arrested do you understand me i can't go for a coffee grab yourself because if we see
00:35:28.420 we'll be patrolling all day we see you again it'll be different please i tell you take your camera and
00:35:36.100 get out of here do you understand that i'm walking away walk away your phone doesn't need to be in our
00:35:42.820 face when you're walking away oh my goodness hope you can go to sleep at night so after the police
00:36:01.860 spend the entire weekend clearing out the peaceful protesters clearing out the demonstrators cbc ottawa
00:36:07.860 tweeted out just what like a sigh of relief here here's what they say for the first time in more
00:36:11.940 than three weeks quiet in downtown ottawa again celebrating the censorship celebrating the use of
00:36:17.380 militarized police zone celebrating the brutal use of force against peaceful protesters and ottawa is just
00:36:25.060 peaceful and quiet um as if as if nothing horrible had just uh had just taken place
00:36:30.660 so begs the question if all of the all the protesters were cleared out all the trucks were towed
00:36:37.380 the the police used force against a group of unarmed peaceful demonstrators and protesters to
00:36:42.820 clear up the city cbc ottawa is celebrating the quiet so why did they go to the effort of passing the
00:36:48.260 emergencies act on monday night why is it still in place it should have been revoked even if they
00:36:53.060 put it in place on friday it should be revoked now because the emergency is over the the trucks are
00:36:58.500 gone why is it still in place well we've got a couple of clues for you the interim chief of the
00:37:03.860 ottawa police force he was asked during q a about why police were taking pictures and trying to gather
00:37:09.460 intel on protesters on the ground and he said this if you are involved in this protest we will actively
00:37:15.220 look to identify you and follow up with financial sanctions and criminal charges here is a clip of
00:37:20.980 what that looked like there's some video cameras that the police are using and some news outlets are
00:37:26.340 reporting that you're gathering intelligence with those cameras can you elaborate like if the
00:37:31.300 protesters at this point uh you know uh retreat and go home uh are they going to be getting sort of
00:37:38.100 repercussions down the road are you going to be sort of actively pursuing the people that you've been
00:37:43.380 sort of documenting and filming who are still out there protesting what are your plans after this
00:37:48.980 after the protest is over thank you it's a great question and the simple answer is yes
00:37:54.020 if you are involved in this protest we will actively look to identify you and follow up with
00:37:59.140 financial sanctions and criminal charges absolutely we this investigation will go on for months to come
00:38:06.420 it has many many different streams both from a federal uh financial level from a provincial licensing
00:38:14.340 level from a criminal code level from a municipal breach of court order breach of court injunction level
00:38:21.940 it will be a complicated and time-consuming um investigation that will go on for a period of
00:38:28.180 time you have my commitment that that investigation will continue and we will hold people accountable
00:38:34.660 for taking our streets over so even if you weren't arrested during the protests you're not safe you're
00:38:39.300 not in the clear the police are still targeting you and they could still freeze your bank accounts
00:38:43.780 unperson you unbank you and try to destroy your life pretty scary stuff uh kian bexty wrote this on twitter
00:38:50.580 question to the cbc the truckers could come back in two months three months so does that mean we
00:38:55.620 would have to keep it meaning the emergencies act for two or three months trudeau's response indeed
00:39:01.140 this is something we are thinking about of course this is translated in french so this idea that we're
00:39:05.700 just going to live in some kind of a permanent emergency just in case just in case trudeau can crack
00:39:10.660 down again on the truckers pretty terrifying stuff again we need to come together and stand up against
00:39:17.300 justin trudeau and his tyrannical use of force against civilians and the legacy media's use of
00:39:22.980 propaganda to prop up the trudeau government it is so despicable on so many levels well fortunately
00:39:28.980 canadians are saying no to justin trudeau they are saying that they refuse to be intimidated they
00:39:33.060 refuse to be silenced what did we see we saw massive protests in cities all over the country
00:39:38.100 toronto quebec city calgary and victoria bc over the weekend this is no longer a protest this is no
00:39:44.420 longer a small isolated group this is not a small fringe minority as justin trudeau said
00:39:48.820 this is a movement this is a movement and is not going anywhere here is what those weekend protests
00:39:53.220 look like
00:40:23.220 The government is going to hear the message, but we need to go completely out of the division.
00:40:38.220 Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!
00:40:53.220 And another bit of positive news here, a Canadian veteran has begun his own protest march.
00:41:01.220 He is marching all the way from Ottawa to Vancouver.
00:41:04.220 So this was over at True North, reported by Harley Sims, a Canadian Armed Forces veteran.
00:41:09.220 James Topp began his 4,395-kilometer march from Vancouver to Ottawa on Sunday morning,
00:41:15.220 departing from the Terry Fox Memorial in downtown Vancouver in solidarity with the truckers and working Canadians
00:41:21.220 to bring an end to overbearing government mandates.
00:41:23.220 So a crowd of about 100 people gathered outside BC Place to cheer Topp on, offer him gifts, and hear him speak a few words.
00:41:30.220 About 70 people came along with him on the march, and a small handful appeared to be committed to going the distance with him,
00:41:37.220 or at least the first leg of the trip on his way to Ottawa.
00:41:39.220 You know that this will get news coverage throughout the entire country.
00:41:42.220 So look, Justin Trudeau can use disproportionate force. He can crack down on Ottawa protesters.
00:41:46.220 But look, this movement is not going anywhere.
00:41:49.220 Canadians want their freedom, and they are not going home, they're not going to rule over,
