What do you make of these bills? What's the worst part of them? And do you think that
00:00:04.340
something else worse is even yet to come? Oh, yeah, the worst is yet to come. And I know that
00:00:10.600
sounds like a laughable tagline, sort of like an anti-Disney world, the world's unhappiest place.
00:00:16.840
But it's bizarre to me just how much energy and effort the Trudeau government is putting into
00:00:21.640
censorship of the media. I mean, you would think just looking around the world, there are 100
00:00:26.800
things that are more important to the quality of life for Canadians, whether it's inflation,
00:00:31.660
price of gas, the war in Ukraine, you know, taxation, carbon tax, I can think of 100 things
00:00:38.920
more relevant and more demanded by Canadian citizens, censoring the internet, deciding
00:00:45.380
for people what they can or can't see, wouldn't even be on the list. That's not a benefit at all.
00:00:51.540
That's a cost, something that none of us want. But it's what Trudeau wants, because he wants more
00:00:59.380
and more control over the national discourse. And he's gotten a lot of it through carrot in a carrot
00:01:04.420
and stick choice. He's used a carrot using media subsidies and insider access. And, you know,
00:01:12.120
basically, he either owns through the CBC or rents through his media subsidy, more than 99% of the
00:01:20.780
media in this country. And I know it's that number, because right before the last election,
00:01:24.760
we got an access to information document showing a secret $61 million payment from Trudeau to
00:01:33.340
different media companies. So we made the request, can we see the list of media companies over 1500?
00:01:40.200
15, I didn't know there were 1500 news media companies in Canada got a special grant from Trudeau
00:01:45.240
on the eve of the election. None of those 1500 companies reported that they got the grant.
