Juno News - Who cares about an MPs medical history？ Why is this the top issue in the country？

00:00:00.000 The legacy media prioritized liberal talking points over issues that actually matter to Canadians. 0.99

00:00:05.460 Plus, David Suzuki is a crazy person. Why does the legacy media still take him seriously?

00:00:10.820 It's Fake News Friday. I'm Candice Malcolm and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.

00:00:18.420 Hi everyone, thank you so much for tuning in. It's Fake News Friday, the day that we go over

00:00:23.040 the worst examples of how the media in Canada are completely biased, are completely in the tank

00:00:28.060 for the Trudeau Liberals or are just simply pushing an agenda. They are not neutral, they cannot be

00:00:33.820 trusted and to make matters worse, they take money from the Trudeau government which makes the whole

00:00:38.740 thing a conflict of interest. So, so many journalists pretend to present the news. This is kind of

00:00:44.400 interesting. So today I'm doing a presentation to a group of elementary school students about the

00:00:49.480 profession of journalism, about the idea of the purpose of journalism, what journalists do day in

00:00:54.720 and day out. And it's a fun opportunity to just sort of reflect upon my profession and sort of go back

00:01:01.100 and read some of the very basics about journalism. And the idea is that there are several different

00:01:05.600 types of journalism. So there's straight news journalism, which is just reporting the facts like

00:01:10.020 the premier says this, prime minister says this, reporting facts to Canadians. Then there is the

00:01:15.880 investigative journalism. So the type of journalism where you dig in and you find something that is

00:01:21.140 inconvenient to those politicians, something that contradicts what they say. So, so a great example

00:01:25.340 of that type of investigative journalism is when you, you catch journalism saying one thing and then

00:01:30.700 doing something very different. And this came out so much during COVID, especially just in the age of

00:01:35.320 social media where everyone has a phone and everyone can take pictures. So you have instances where you

00:01:39.920 see, for instance, the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, saying that restaurants are closed and that you

00:01:45.220 can't eat inside. And then someone catching him at a very expensive restaurant, French Laundry, up in the Napa Valley.

00:01:51.140 Doing exactly what he said other people can't do. We saw this example also with Canada's health minister,

00:01:56.980 Patty Hajju, where she was very, very adamant that Canadians wear masks. And then we found a picture of her

00:02:03.300 in the airport, not wearing a mask. And sure, you know, her office and her team says, oh, well, she was eating

00:02:08.820 or she was on a phone call. You can, you can clearly see from the picture that that's not the case. And so these

00:02:13.140 kinds of things are very powerful because they undermine the trust of the politician. So that's the sort of

00:02:18.340 investigative news stuff. And then finally, you have opinion pieces. I read an opinion column

00:02:23.140 in the Toronto Sun. It's fact-based. It's, it's informed. It's my opinion based on facts and true

00:02:29.060 information, but it's still my opinion. And so you can take it with a grain of salt. You can agree with

00:02:33.480 me or disagree with me. Now that's all textbook, right? The reality is that there is just so much

00:02:39.580 gray area when it comes to journalism. And so many instances where you have a reporter pretending to

00:02:45.620 present the facts saying, this is straight news. These are the facts. Whereas in reality, when you,

00:02:50.100 when you parse through what they say, when you, when you look at the, the, the, the words that

00:02:53.700 they choose, the information that they choose to put in versus what they omit, uh, the types of people

00:02:57.780 that they interview as evidence for their story, it becomes very clear that it is biased, that it is not

00:03:02.940 straight news, that it is in fact infused with opinion. And this has created quite frankly, a crisis in

00:03:08.420 my profession, a crisis in journalism. When it comes to the authority of journalists, when it comes to

00:03:13.860 the neutrality of journalists, it's all being called into question. And then layer on top of

00:03:18.340 that, this idea that now these journalists are taking money from the federal government,

00:03:22.260 which just creates a conflict of interest. You can't have reporters planning to be objective

00:03:26.980 in covering the news when they are reliant and dependent on the politicians they cover to pay their

00:03:32.260 salaries or to help make ends meet or to ensure the survival of their media outlets. So, so there is a

00:03:36.660 crisis within journalism and why we have a business model that works in a time when all of these

00:03:41.460 journalists are going hat in hand to the government begging for money. When so many of them are laying

00:03:45.780 off journalists and drinking their newsrooms, uh, True North is growing. We're actively recruiting,

00:03:50.580 hiring new journalists. It's really, really exciting. And it's because we offer something

00:03:54.100 different. We tell the other side, but we're also transparent. You know where we stand on things,

00:03:58.260 you know that we have an editorial position that is conservative, small c conservative, and you know

00:04:03.700 that we don't take any money from government, that all of our funding comes from the support of viewers

00:04:08.740 like you. If it wasn't for the generosity of Canadians, we wouldn't have a business model,

00:04:12.260 but because people believe in our journalism, they support us, they, they pay for us. And that is how

00:04:16.980 we're able to stay on the air. So, so we do offer this great contrast in, in journalism. And so that

00:04:21.860 gets me to the story, uh, main story I want to focus on today, which is the fact that the House of

00:04:26.260 Commons is back. We have Parliament sitting again. Finally, after almost two months after the federal

00:04:31.220 election, we finally have MPs back in Ottawa, back to work. We had a throne speech. And if you were to

00:04:36.580 watch the media, watch the reaction, you would think that the biggest issue in the country,

00:04:40.900 the biggest, most important thing facing Canadians today is the vaccine status of conservative MPs.

00:04:48.580 That is all we heard about. That is what the media was, was blaring. That's the message we heard from

00:04:53.780 liberal MPs. And you can see how the liberal MP message gets morphed into the headlines of the media.

00:05:00.500 So, so it goes straight from the, uh, partisan liberal talking points. And then the, the media

00:05:05.940 just sort of pick it up hook, line and sinker, report it to Canadians as if that is the biggest

00:05:10.580 story. And the reason for this, of course, is that the liberals don't want to talk about the record.

00:05:14.660 They don't want to talk about what they're doing. They don't want to talk about the economy, the, the,

00:05:18.180 the anemic growth, the huge spending, the huge debt, the runaway inflation. They don't want to talk

00:05:23.300 about any of those economic issues. So they want to distract Canadians. And they do so by fooling the media

00:05:28.500 into thinking that the biggest issue in the country is the vaccine status of conservative MPs. So this

00:05:34.820 is a montage of liberal MPs, basically telling the media what to report on. This is their partisan

00:05:40.660 political spin, their talking points. And this is what they have to say about the biggest issue in

00:05:45.700 the country. Well, I think it's fair to say that medical exemptions being as rare as they are, it's

00:05:50.420 kind of surprising to hear that out of 120 odd conservative MPs, there might be multiple when the

00:05:57.540 requirement for a medical exemption is something on the order of one in 10,000 or one in 100,000.

00:06:03.860 You keep mentioning that, have you gotten a list about how many conservative MPs or any MPs in the

00:06:09.620 House, for that matter, have medical exemptions? You keep saying that it's statistically improbable

00:06:13.940 and mentioning 119. Do you have a number that's being put forward of how many MPs say they have

00:06:19.300 medical exemptions? I understand. Again, we're, we're, we're dealing because we won't be giving clear

00:06:24.500 answers. We're dealing in, in, in shadows. So I understand there to be multiple members.

00:06:30.820 That's how it has been categorized. And, you know, if they were to say they had one member,

00:06:36.580 then there's, you know, one in five and 100,000, one member out of 119, exceptionally unlikely,

00:06:43.620 but possible multiple. If you start, I mean, just start doing the statistical math. If you have

00:06:49.460 multiple people out of 119 and you're saying one to five and 100,000, that's just not, it's just not

00:06:56.660 even remotely in, uh, in any kind of math that makes sense.

00:07:00.100 So that's the, that's the political partisan talking points of the Liberals. And now let's look at the

00:07:27.460 media and what they're talking about, because lo and behold, surprise, surprise. It is eerily

00:07:32.100 similar that the headlines, the talking points that you hear from the journalists when it comes

00:07:36.420 to the important issues facing Canadians. Finally, the House of Commons is back in session, and this

00:07:41.300 is what they're reporting on. So here's Evan Solomon doing the Liberals dirty work, asking the question,

00:07:46.180 the exact question that the Liberals want asked. Tell us the number. We can lay this darn thing to rest.

00:07:51.620 Evan, what we asked our caucus to do was to comply with the order from the Board of Internal Economy, 0.99

00:07:58.900 and we did not pull over. But just how many? So just tell us how many had a medical exemption.

00:08:04.100 You'd have to ask the House of Commons. But you don't know? You don't know how many got vaxxed?

00:08:06.500 We, we did, we just asked them to comply with the directive from the Board of Internal Economy,

00:08:11.700 and so that question could be answered by, by House administration, who we have every confidence

00:08:17.220 did their due diligence. Okay. And so, and so we saw that Liberal MP Adam Van Coverden, the former

00:08:23.060 Olympic athlete, talking about how he thought it was strange that there were medical exemptions among

00:08:26.980 the Conservatives. And look at that. Global News reports exactly, exactly the same headline.

00:08:32.500 Statistically improbable, multiple Tory MPs have valid COVID vaccine exemptions. That's according to

00:08:38.180 Global News. So again, they're doubting whether or not these Conservatives are being truthful. And,

00:08:43.060 and, and here's the Toronto Star again, emphasizing that this must be the most important issue in the

00:08:46.900 country. Vaccination policy dogs Aaron O'Toole as Conservative MP tests positive for COVID vaccines.

00:08:53.540 So again, you could be forgiven for thinking this is just the biggest issue in the world. And so in

00:08:57.620 response to all this, here we have Conservative MP Pierre Polyev pointing out what he thinks is

00:09:03.060 probably actually a much, much bigger issue to Canadians, a bigger deal to Canadians, which is

00:09:07.460 of course the skyrocketing cost of living in this country, the insane prices that we're seeing

00:09:12.420 at the gas pump in the grocery store when we're out buying our Christmas gifts.

00:09:16.580 Pierre Polyev talking about the real story and not just doing that, but calling out the media,

00:09:20.820 calling out the media saying, look, you're, you're being duped. You're being duped. You're

00:09:24.820 doing the liberal dirty work. Let's see Pierre Polyev saying just that.

00:09:28.020 But yeah, listen, Mark Holland's not a doctor. What he is, is a politician. And the only,

00:09:34.100 the only thing he's trying to accomplish is to distract people from his inflation tax. I mean,

00:09:40.820 the number one issue facing Canadians that they want, the people want addressed in this speech

00:09:45.620 from the throne is the skyrocketing cost of living. Liberals who have caused that crisis now want to

00:09:54.580 distract from it by talking about everything else under the sun. And I reiterate, the liberals must

00:10:03.140 announce a plan to end the inflation tax in today's speech from the throne. That's what Canadians and

00:10:08.340 conservatives are demanding. So of course, Pierre Polyev is completely correct in, in talking about the

00:10:13.780 real issues that matter and calling out the media for just doing the dirty work for the liberals. So

00:10:18.340 interestingly, surprisingly, maybe the CBC did pick up on this issue talking about how Pierre Polyev

00:10:24.020 was talking about inflation as the biggest issue facing Canadians and something that Justin Trudeau is

00:10:28.420 personally responsible for in the way of his out of control spending, his huge surge of the printing

00:10:33.300 of money, which of course is the cause of inflation. Here is Aaron Weary, probably Justin Trudeau's

00:10:38.420 number one fan in the CBC. And that's saying something because there are a lot of number one fans

00:10:43.140 for Justin Trudeau over in the CBC, but Aaron Weary probably takes the cake for the biggest

00:10:47.300 Trudeau supporter over there. And so this is what he says about Pierre Polyev's point. It says,

00:10:52.980 the conservatives inflation argument is flawed, but it still might work. The surge in price is

00:10:57.860 being driven by factors outside of Ottawa's control, but politics is politics is Aaron Weary. So

00:11:03.060 of course, this has nothing to do with Justin Trudeau. It has nothing to do with Justin Trudeau.

00:11:06.820 It's because of the supply chain and because of global finances. And this is my favorite. He defends

00:11:11.460 Justin Trudeau because I guess Trudeau doesn't know the cost of a package of bacon or the price of a two by

00:11:16.740 four. So Aaron Weary goes into a long defense about how Justin Trudeau would never have to go to a

00:11:21.380 grocery store. That's so beneath him. And how dare conservatives even suggest that he go to a

00:11:25.860 grocery store and he's not responsible for fixing the official residences of the prime minister. So

00:11:32.020 how would he possibly know what the price of a two by four is? To Aaron Weary, the idea that Justin

00:11:37.060 Trudeau is so out of touch that he doesn't know how much things cost in the country. It's not because it

00:11:41.220 would have been his job as an individual to go grocery shopping or to go out and buy lumber,

00:11:45.620 but perhaps that as a prime minister, as a politician, as a prime minister, a leader of

00:11:49.140 this country, he would take the time to inform himself that he would bother to ask Canadians

00:11:54.500 to talk to people, even to talk to people on his staff to find out these kinds of things. So the

00:11:58.900 fact that Aaron Weary here, the neutral journalist over at the CBC is going out of his way to defend

00:12:04.900 Trudeau on something that's perfectly reasonable that a prime minister and a politician should be aware

00:12:09.940 of the cost of things in their country, just shows you how in the tank CBC and Aaron Weary in specific

00:12:16.180 are for Trudeau. Then Aaron Weary goes and cherry picks a bunch of left-wing economists to say that

00:12:22.740 the inflation doesn't have anything to do with government programming and that it's totally

00:12:26.980 different. And one of my favorite lines in this piece that I want to point out as an example of how

00:12:31.780 journalists sometimes stealthily infuse their own opinion into a news piece is that in this report,

00:12:38.820 he doesn't talk about government spending once. The word spending or expenditures or the money spent

00:12:44.580 isn't mentioned in this piece, neither is the printing of money or the monetary policy. And

00:12:49.300 instead, when Weary wants to talk about government spending and the increase in government spending,

00:12:53.380 this is the way he phrases it. So he's talking about Kevin Page, who's a former parliamentary budget

00:12:57.220 officer who did an interview on CBC. And Kevin Page did say that, of course, spending is one of the

00:13:02.740 reasons that drive inflation. But this is the way that Aaron Weary phrases it. He doesn't say spending,

00:13:06.980 he doesn't say expenditures, he doesn't say anything like that. Instead, he uses the word support, he

00:13:11.060 says. But he did suggest that government support was boosting consumer demand. So he doesn't even

00:13:17.540 bother to use the accurate word of what we're talking about, which is how much money the government

00:13:21.540 spends, the government spending. Instead, he uses the liberal euphemism, government support, which

00:13:26.660 sounds so much better. It sounds so much more friendly and something that people can get behind,

00:13:31.300 as opposed to spending, which might make you think, hey, why is the government spending so out of control?

00:13:35.940 So of course, there are real issues at play in this country. There are really serious things,

00:13:40.420 aside from whether or not conservative MPs are vaccinated. So over at tnc.news, we had a report,

00:13:46.900 economic issues take a backseat in Trudeau government's throne speech, issues pertaining

00:13:52.100 to Canadians economic livelihoods, such as inflation, supply chain disruptions, and the ballooning federal

00:13:56.820 debt took a backseat in the speech from the throne on Wednesday as the 44th Parliament session

00:14:01.380 convened. Other issues like reconciliation with Indigenous peoples and tackling climate change

00:14:05.940 were at the forefront of the Liberal government's priorities. In total inflation and supply chain,

00:14:10.660 each received one measly mention, while the federal debt received no mention at all. And True

00:14:15.220 North wasn't the only ones who noticed this. Macdonald Laurier Institute also said that the throne

00:14:20.100 speech lacked any serious thought on tackling inflation. So it's just clearly not a priority to the

00:14:26.340 liberals. And rather than the media talking about that, or bringing concern about that, they would

00:14:31.540 much, much, much, much, much, much, much rather talk about the things that the partisan liberals

00:14:35.700 want them to talk about, which is the vaccine status of conservative MPs. Well, I would be remiss if

00:14:42.660 I didn't talk about David Suzuki, good old David Suzuki, the CBC golden boy, who is back in the news

00:14:48.660 this week because he was inciting terrorism. He was calling for terrorism in the news. David Suzuki

00:14:54.260 says that pipelines will be blown up if leaders don't take action on climate change. That sounds

00:14:59.860 like terrorism. That sounds like inciting terrorism or warning about terrorism. This is the kind of thing

00:15:04.980 that a crazy, crazy person would say. And of course, David Suzuki is a saying, so here is David Suzuki saying that. 0.70

00:15:11.380 We're in deep, deep doo-doo. And they've been telling us, the leading experts, for over 40 years.

00:15:18.260 This is what we've come to. The next stage after this is there are going to be pipelines blown up

00:15:23.300 if our leaders don't pay attention to what's going on. So David Suzuki, after making those insane

00:15:28.740 comments, was reached by the National Post on Monday. And he said that violence within the

00:15:32.500 environmental movement is already happening. Although he identified the police action against the anti-logging

00:15:38.180 and the anti-oil and gas pipeline protesters as a culprit. So he said that the violence was being

00:15:42.340 carried out by police. Asked whether he would support the volume of pipelines. Suzuki said,

00:15:46.660 of course not. Of course, it's not the first time that David Suzuki has said crazy things. In a 1972

00:15:52.740 clip, David Suzuki compared humans to maggots. That's what he thinks of humans. That's what so many

00:15:58.100 people in the environmental movement think of humans. They elevate the earth and the natural

00:16:03.060 environment above human life, above the dignity and liberty of individuals. That's nothing new.

00:16:08.820 David Suzuki once called for politicians who ignore climate science to be jailed. Suzuki called for an

00:16:14.580 end to immigration, saying that our country was already full, Canada's full, and he called the

00:16:18.900 program disgusting. And yet, despite all this craziness, all the evidence of him being off his

00:16:25.220 rocker, the legacy media love to hold him up as a hero, as an activist, as something we should all

00:16:30.740 aspire to. And they still regularly have him on. He was on CTV a few weeks ago talking about the COP26

00:16:37.220 summit. He is frequently on CBC, and he is still frequently the subject of glowing profiles, loving

00:16:43.700 profiles in Canada's legacy newspapers. Why do the legacy media hold up someone who is clearly a fringe,

00:16:51.300 far-left activist? Well, because he shares their values. He shares their worldview. And because of that,

00:16:56.820 they see nothing wrong, even when he is outwardly calling for violence, outwardly calling for

00:17:01.860 terrorism. This tells you everything you need to know about what is wrong with the worldview of

00:17:07.140 so many in the legacy media that think that there's nothing wrong with David Suzuki, and therefore

00:17:11.940 they continue to hold him up as a saint. And it's just another reason why you should be incredibly

00:17:17.700 skeptical of the legacy media here in Canada. It's Fake News Friday. I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The

00:17:22.260 Candice Malcolm Show.
