Summary

We're days away from Canada signing the UN Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration,
0.92
00:00:07.040
a document that is finally being exposed around the world for being what it is,
00:00:10.980
a very Orwellian and totalitarian pledge to have countries surrender their immigration systems
00:00:16.920
to that of the international community, and specifically the United Nations, this globalist fantasy.
00:00:22.700
Well, one of the things that has gotten a lot of attention, thankfully,
00:00:25.980
is the provision in the compact that restricts freedom of coverage for the media.
00:00:32.760
Signatories agree to promote independent, objective, and quality reporting of media outlets,
00:00:38.620
including internet-based information, including by sensitizing and educating media professionals
00:00:44.240
on migration-related issues and terminology, investing in ethical reporting standards and advertising,
00:00:49.980
and stopping allocation of public funding or material support to media outlets
00:00:55.820
that systematically promote intolerance, xenophobia, racism, and other forms of discrimination towards migrants
00:01:06.760
Now, that little throwaway line in there about the respect for freedom of the media
00:01:10.460
is merely to ameliorate some of the obvious concerns that this provision threatens the media.
00:01:15.880
The reason people think that is because it actually does.
00:01:19.640
And beyond the sensitizing and educating component,
00:01:22.680
I want to focus in on a very key factor of this that has not gotten as much attention as it should,
00:01:28.800
and that is the restriction of public allocation of money, of government money, of government funds,
00:01:35.220
for media outlets that run afoul of what the UN says is an approved narrative
00:01:39.780
on migrants and immigration and illegal immigrants, perhaps.
00:01:43.580
If government didn't bankroll media, this would not be as much of an issue,
00:01:48.880
but this comes just a few weeks after Justin Trudeau announced that there was going to be a government-appointed panel
00:01:55.000
to decide which media outlets in Canada get access to the $595 million media slush fund
00:02:01.520
intended to save the journalism industry from its inevitable collapse, at least in its current form.
00:02:08.020
So now, all of a sudden, we have a framework where Justin Trudeau has said that his government
00:02:11.900
will decide which media outlets qualify for government money,
00:02:16.520
and now we have a pact that Canada will be signing to say that government will withhold public funds
00:02:21.820
from media outlets that systematically discriminate against migrants.
00:02:25.240
The problem is that the compact in question doesn't distinguish between illegal and illegal migrants.
00:02:31.200
More importantly, the compact doesn't really discuss any of the situations
00:02:35.360
where it may be completely legitimate to criticize migration,
00:02:39.300
such as criticizing illegal border crossing, an ongoing problem in Canada,
00:02:43.580
or criticizing illegal immigrants and the way that they are sometimes dealt with by governments.
00:02:51.880
Canada, despite saying this compact is non-binding,
00:02:55.020
is in fact signing this because of a full-throated endorsement of what this compact is pushing.
00:03:03.360
Canada and Canada's government can enforce this and can make it binding
00:03:13.460
that now there is a government-approved and a UN-approved narrative
00:03:16.480
as to how you can discuss migration and immigration
00:03:19.700
and how you are allowed to have these conversations.
00:03:23.360
And if you do it the wrong way, your money is on the line.
00:03:27.260
It's the taxpayer money. It's government money.
00:03:29.120
And by bankrolling the media, what Justin Trudeau has done
00:03:32.600
is put into question where the media's loyalties are.
00:03:37.760
And I think the timing of this should concern all Canadians.
00:03:40.680
We have a government willingly signing away its autonomy and its sovereignty
00:03:46.900
And all of a sudden, it's media outlets that are going to be responsible
00:03:49.960
for the re-education that the government is paying for,
00:03:55.120
For the True North Initiative, I'm Andrew Lutton.
