Juno News - Woke TikTok suffers meltdown after Poilievre victory

00:00:00.000 Oh, we'll see about that. We'll see about that.

00:00:02.540 If Polyev and his Convoy supporters have ensured Justin Trudeau another term as Prime Minister.

00:00:14.880 Welcome everyone to Ratioed. My name is Harrison Faulkner.

00:00:18.660 What a week, guys.

00:00:19.500 Pierre Polyev becomes a new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada

00:00:22.380 and the meltdown on social media has been spectacular.

00:00:26.440 Social media feels as alive once again.

00:00:28.340 We've got TikToks and tweets, journalists losing their minds, activists losing their minds.

00:00:32.640 Heck, we've even got a Conservative MP who's decided to quit the Conservative Party

00:00:36.120 because he just can't handle Pierre Polyev as leader.

00:00:38.560 Good. No more liberals needed in Conservative Caucus. 1.00

00:00:41.000 Well, on the show, we will be reacting to hilarious anti-Polyev TikToks too

00:00:45.060 from kind of no-name TikTokers.

00:00:47.100 We're going to be breaking it down on the show and having a good laugh.

00:00:49.880 Also on the show, the Federal Green Party of Canada have decided to self-destruct

00:00:54.220 because, of course, of the very real, very dangerous and sickening crime

00:00:58.500 of misgendering their pansexual interim leader.

00:01:01.520 Yes, because the Green Party misgendered Amita Kuttner, their pansexual interim leader.

00:01:07.520 Well, of course, resignations must come.

00:01:09.600 The party must self-destruct.

00:01:10.960 There must be statements released about this horrible, violent incident.

00:01:15.180 Well, I think it's time someone else had a good laugh at the Green Party

00:01:17.780 and that's what we're going to do on the show.

00:01:19.640 And we wrap up the show, as we always do, with the Ratio of the Week award.

00:01:23.100 It couldn't go to anyone more deserving this week, guys.

00:01:25.480 You all know who I'm talking about.

00:01:26.920 This journalist put on the most epic meltdown I have perhaps ever seen

00:01:31.040 at a press conference for an opposition leader.

00:01:34.120 You know who I'm talking about. We'll get there on the show later.

00:01:36.460 The common question for this episode is simple.

00:01:38.780 Do you have faith that Pierre Polyev will, unlike his predecessors in Aaron O'Toole and Andrew Scheer,

00:01:43.760 actually maintain his leadership promises?

00:01:46.320 Will he be a conservative as leader of the opposition?

00:01:48.300 Will he actually oppose Justin Trudeau?

00:01:50.880 Or will he fall back, like Aaron O'Toole and Andrew Scheer did,

00:01:54.120 in letting this government go on unopposed?

00:01:57.320 Let me know in the comments what you think.

00:01:58.700 Do you have confidence in Pierre Polyev as the leader of the opposition?

00:02:01.560 Drop a like on this video and share it around.

00:02:03.800 And if you're feeling generous, consider donating to us at donate.tnc.news.

00:02:07.800 The link is in the description of this video.

00:02:09.720 All right, let's get into these TikToks. 0.71

00:02:11.360 Once again, we are prepared to dip our toes into the TikTok waters,

00:02:14.620 navigate the absurd lefty takes to pick out some of the very best on the show.

00:02:20.160 And we've found what I think is quite a good variety of takes.

00:02:23.900 You've got two that are of really unhinged leftists on Twitter.

00:02:28.020 And then, for good measure, it wouldn't be a TikTok reaction.

00:02:31.000 But if we didn't highlight Canada's very famous TikTok girl from Global News,

00:02:35.540 she, of course, had to get in on the action.

00:02:37.180 And we have that coming up.

00:02:38.580 Now, let's dive into this first TikTok and see what the lefties are really saying about Pierre Polyev.

00:02:42.320 The true bro is not my favorite.

00:02:44.320 Do I think he's the worst prime minister ever?

00:02:46.660 No.

00:02:47.260 But here's a few things to consider.

00:02:49.000 First of which is, the left is the NDPs, the Greens, parties like that.

00:02:53.440 The liberal party is center-right, center, center-left at best.

00:02:56.860 The liberal party is center-right.

00:02:59.240 Do you hear that, guys?

00:03:00.060 The liberal party is center-right, center-left at best.

00:03:04.920 Is that what you think of when you hear Justin Trudeau tell Canadians where they can and can't go?

00:03:10.620 Is that what you think when you hear Christia Freeland freezing the bank accounts of peaceful protesters?

00:03:15.480 Does the center-right party come to mind?

00:03:18.240 Unreal.

00:03:18.880 I wish I lived in these guys' world.

00:03:20.540 It's not actually a huge jump for the moderate conservatives to jump over to the liberals.

00:03:26.820 It's not a huge jump for moderate conservatives to jump over to the liberals.

00:03:29.520 I would venture to guess that there won't be many moderate conservatives voting liberal.

00:03:36.880 Then again, there are people like Jean Charest in the party who probably would consider themselves to be more liberal than conservative in private.

00:03:43.640 So perhaps, maybe this person has a point.

00:03:45.640 Have the liberals done a great job of appealing to them lately?

00:03:48.380 No, not really.

00:03:49.840 But thanks to the conservatives, they haven't had to.

00:03:54.300 Because the conservatives have done their work for them.

00:03:57.580 Because by going with such an extreme choice, whose values are so far removed from the average Canadian.

00:04:04.660 Pierre Pauly of the extreme choice, whose values are so far removed from the average Canadian, as this TikToker says.

00:04:11.420 Yes, is that why Pierre Pauly of won 68% of the conservative party vote?

00:04:15.100 Is that why he champions values like freedom?

00:04:18.080 The main point of his campaign was all about freedom.

00:04:21.360 Or we can talk about the other policies that he had, like defunding the CBC,

00:04:25.120 giving Canadians the hope to buy a home, making their own medical choices.

00:04:29.560 Is that so far extreme from the average Canadian viewer?

00:04:33.600 Is that so far extreme from the average Canadian?

00:04:36.800 Or is Justin Trudeau the man who's really only in power because of a supply and confidence agreement,

00:04:41.640 otherwise known as some sort of coalition deal with the weak-willed and spineless NDP?

00:04:45.760 It's tough to make these giant leaps in logic when the facts so clearly speak to the opposite.

00:04:51.320 The facts so clearly actually say that Pierre Pauly of has struck a chord with Canadians,

00:04:55.380 many of whom may not even have considered themselves to be conservative prior to Pauly of joining the leadership election.

00:05:00.840 Don't forget now that the conservatives have something like over 600,000 members.

00:05:05.400 Because as Pierre and his base are actively pushing the moderates out of their party,

00:05:09.700 the party next closest to their values is simply the Liberal Party.

00:05:12.360 Do I personally want seven more years of Trudeau? Absolutely not.

00:05:15.260 But Pauly of and his convoy have all but assured.

00:05:17.600 Oh, we'll see about that.

00:05:19.100 We'll see about that if Pauly of and his convoy supporters have ensured Justin Trudeau another term as prime minister.

00:05:25.720 All right, so there was that shocker.

00:05:27.140 Let's see what else we have here.

00:05:28.760 The caption is,

00:05:29.920 I did test conservatives, but there were a few points that he made that I 100% agreed with.

00:05:33.980 Oh, how dare you agree with Pierre Pauly of?

00:05:36.140 You know, you can't agree with the conservatives on TikTok.

00:05:38.840 That's a bad idea.

00:05:40.220 So I see this kind of question fairly regularly.

00:05:43.300 And I'm not calling this person out.

00:05:44.680 They're allowed to think what they think.

00:05:45.960 But it shows a much more...

00:05:46.880 Oh, good. They're allowed to think what they think.

00:05:47.940 ...movement.

00:05:49.200 He's a political inkblot.

00:05:51.020 His statements, his policies are so devoid of content.

00:05:55.400 They're so boiled down to just a slogan.

00:05:58.420 Fire the gatekeepers.

00:05:59.680 Put you back in control of your lies.

00:06:01.800 Get your freedom back.

00:06:03.400 What does any of that mean?

00:06:05.000 Okay, point taken.

00:06:06.220 That doesn't change the fact that every other politician does that, too.

00:06:09.840 Don't forget that Justin Trudeau, before becoming prime minister,

00:06:12.480 said that he would run the most open and transparent government in Canadian history.

00:06:16.540 How did that turn out?

00:06:17.880 It means whatever you want it to.

00:06:19.840 And that's by design.

00:06:21.280 He attacks outwards constantly.

00:06:23.420 It's a perpetual reign of attacks on Trudeau,

00:06:26.260 Jagmeet Singh,

00:06:27.520 unions, gatekeepers,

00:06:29.280 that person who messed up his sandwich at lunch,

00:06:31.660 and basically everybody you can think of.

00:06:33.440 This is good.

00:06:35.300 I think I'm starting to understand this here.

00:06:37.640 The left want conservatives to just attack themselves.

00:06:42.000 You can't attack the left if you're the conservatives.

00:06:44.220 You have to attack yourselves.

00:06:45.960 You have to call your own base racist.

00:06:47.960 You have to distance and denounce,

00:06:49.380 as the left so often requires conservatives to do in this country.

00:06:52.780 That's what they want you to do.

00:06:53.620 They think it's wrong for the opposition leader,

00:06:56.980 the new opposition leader,

00:06:58.200 while running to take that position,

00:07:00.580 to attack the government.

00:07:02.120 To attack the party propping up the government and the NDP.

00:07:05.740 That's wrong.

00:07:07.160 You have to attack yourselves.

00:07:08.900 He blames and blames,

00:07:10.240 and then makes incredibly nonspecific promises.

00:07:12.960 Incredibly nonspecific promises,

00:07:14.500 like defunding the CBC.

00:07:16.120 I think if I parse through the words defunding the CBC,

00:07:18.800 somewhere in there I get to the conclusion that

00:07:20.840 the money will no longer,

00:07:22.460 the public money,

00:07:23.380 the billion dollars,

00:07:24.580 will, fingers crossed,

00:07:26.020 no longer be flowing to the propagandist state broadcaster.

00:07:29.180 I think that's pretty clear enough for me.

00:07:30.960 Also, the statements like,

00:07:32.140 making your own medical decisions.

00:07:33.720 That seems pretty straightforward to me.

00:07:36.820 I don't know about you guys.

00:07:37.420 Let me know in the comments.

00:07:38.720 Does defunding the CBC

00:07:40.020 and making your own medical decisions

00:07:42.600 seem straightforward,

00:07:43.400 or does that seem vague?

00:07:45.140 I kind of think I understand what he's saying there.

00:07:47.420 You know, other than determining

00:07:48.460 who can enter this country, 0.98

00:07:51.060 the apps you have to fill out

00:07:52.560 and the declarations you have to have

00:07:53.860 to come back home to your country, 1.00

00:07:56.000 internet censorship,

00:07:57.200 other than those,

00:07:58.160 maybe perhaps there isn't any freedom to give back,

00:08:00.340 but I would like to hear someone challenge those,

00:08:02.240 because I think a lot of Canadians

00:08:03.180 don't feel free right now,

00:08:04.260 and that's why that slogan was successful.

00:08:06.400 But of course, to lefties on TikTok,

00:08:08.520 you really can't expect that much.

00:08:10.380 Ladies and gentlemen,

00:08:11.500 I would like to take this opportunity

00:08:12.960 to pause and reflect

00:08:15.400 on a shocking, disturbing,

00:08:18.840 sickening act that took place in Ottawa,

00:08:21.240 or at least I think it was in Ottawa.

00:08:22.660 And before I go any further,

00:08:23.900 I just want to say

00:08:24.620 that it brings me no joy

00:08:26.040 having to recant

00:08:27.380 the horrific incident

00:08:29.080 that occurred in Ottawa.

00:08:30.560 You see, ladies and gentlemen,

00:08:32.740 the transgender,

00:08:34.500 pansexual, non-binary,

00:08:36.080 interim leader of the Green Party,

00:08:37.460 Amita Kuttner,

00:08:38.500 well, something really bad happened.

00:08:40.160 And she was misgendered 0.99

00:08:43.100 at a Green Party leadership event.

00:08:46.560 I can't believe it.

00:08:49.500 This is the kind of thing

00:08:50.540 that must be stopped.

00:08:52.200 Hate has no place in Ottawa.

00:08:53.800 Now, putting all jokes aside,

00:08:55.040 we have to say

00:08:55.600 the Green Party is in full-on

00:08:57.080 self-destruction mode.

00:08:58.760 I want to take you through

00:08:59.700 this hilarious story,

00:09:01.160 which illustrates, in my opinion, 0.95

00:09:03.240 just how ridiculous 0.99

00:09:04.260 this federal party is. 0.95

00:09:06.760 So it starts off on September 3rd.

00:09:08.540 Right now, the Green Party

00:09:09.440 is going through

00:09:09.980 a leadership election,

00:09:10.940 or they're about to launch

00:09:11.640 their leadership election.

00:09:12.760 The current leader

00:09:13.320 of the Green Party

00:09:13.940 is Amita Kuttner.

00:09:15.360 Now, this person identifies

00:09:17.160 as transgender,

00:09:19.660 pansexual, non-binary,

00:09:22.220 and goes by they, them,

00:09:23.680 or he, him pronouns.

00:09:25.620 Now, logging in

00:09:26.540 to this virtual leadership event

00:09:28.860 on September 3rd,

00:09:30.240 Amita Kuttner was faced

00:09:31.520 with a horrific act of violence.

00:09:33.320 You see, when she logged on

00:09:34.640 to this event,

00:09:35.840 she was faced with the,

00:09:37.980 with probably the worst

00:09:39.300 thing that could ever happen.

00:09:40.560 Seeing the wrong pronouns

00:09:42.000 put beside your name,

00:09:43.360 I know.

00:09:44.080 You see, the face of agony,

00:09:45.420 the face of shock and surprise.

00:09:47.360 Amita Kuttner, she, L.

00:09:49.660 So, because of this,

00:09:50.920 on the call,

00:09:51.800 the people running

00:09:52.580 the Green Party virtual event

00:09:54.340 apologized to the leader,

00:09:56.140 and after, it wasn't enough.

00:09:57.700 So, of course, after that,

00:09:59.200 the Green Party leader

00:10:00.080 had to put out a statement

00:10:01.040 about this horrific act

00:10:02.600 of misgendering.

00:10:03.740 The Green Party leader wrote,

00:10:04.800 On Saturday, September 3rd,

00:10:06.480 at a public media event

00:10:07.380 kicking off the Green Party

00:10:08.340 of Canada's leadership contest,

00:10:09.760 the wrong pronouns

00:10:10.620 were presented beside my name

00:10:11.900 in a way that I could not

00:10:12.940 change myself.

00:10:14.040 I acknowledge that mistakes

00:10:15.080 can happen,

00:10:15.660 and the need to learn from them.

00:10:16.940 What happened here

00:10:17.560 impacted me much more

00:10:18.540 than a slip of the tongue.

00:10:19.580 It made me feel hurt

00:10:20.520 and isolated at a moment

00:10:21.760 that should have been filled

00:10:22.660 with inspiration and anticipation.

00:10:24.360 Over the years,

00:10:25.100 the party has documented reports

00:10:26.640 that indicate a systemic issue

00:10:28.620 disproportionately affecting

00:10:30.040 black, indigenous,

00:10:31.020 and racialized people

00:10:32.100 and 2SLGBTQIA plus people.

00:10:36.480 And I hope many more stories

00:10:37.840 will be able to be shared

00:10:38.760 so that this incident

00:10:39.880 can be a catalyst for change.

00:10:41.480 After this statement,

00:10:42.940 the president of the Green Party

00:10:44.340 was forced to resign.

00:10:46.480 And another councillor,

00:10:48.000 the Ontario councillor,

00:10:48.860 was also forced to resign.

00:10:50.400 So because of this misgendering act,

00:10:51.880 because of this act of violence,

00:10:53.240 the Green Party has self-destructed.

00:10:55.220 It also turns out

00:10:55.900 that all of the leadership candidates

00:10:57.960 also issued a statement on that call

00:11:00.600 condemning this misgendering.

00:11:02.540 So you see,

00:11:03.200 they're really preoccupied

00:11:04.420 with saving the planet.

00:11:05.800 So much so that they have to

00:11:06.960 take time out of their day

00:11:07.960 to defend the transgender,

00:11:10.280 non-binary, pansexual,

00:11:12.580 they-them leader.

00:11:13.580 And then it's not done.

00:11:14.580 You see, a day after the statement,

00:11:16.040 Amita Kutner wanted to go back out

00:11:17.400 on Twitter to let us all know

00:11:18.700 that she was feeling fine,

00:11:19.920 she was recovering well.

00:11:21.100 Ah, I keep saying she!

00:11:22.920 Someone stop me.

00:11:23.880 I'm just so bad.

00:11:25.200 Amita Kutner put out a statement

00:11:26.960 on Twitter to let us know

00:11:28.340 that they were doing fine.

00:11:31.080 Does that work?

00:11:32.260 I'm fine for everyone

00:11:33.140 who's been wondering and asking.

00:11:34.880 I deal with a lot all the time

00:11:36.260 and know many others should do as well.

00:11:38.160 Creating spaces of care

00:11:39.360 has to be taken seriously

00:11:40.780 and for ongoing problems

00:11:41.940 to actually be solved.

00:11:43.220 So most people on Twitter

00:11:44.440 who've been following the story

00:11:45.500 have had a good laugh,

00:11:46.680 had a good chuckle,

00:11:47.860 made sure that they got their licks

00:11:49.860 in on this hilarious story.

00:11:51.760 And there's one man on Twitter,

00:11:53.140 however, that I feel

00:11:54.220 deserves extra recognition.

00:11:55.480 I consider him to be

00:11:57.440 Canada's Governor General

00:11:58.540 of the Twitter trolls,

00:11:59.940 especially on one side

00:12:00.960 of the debate.

00:12:01.780 His name is John Kay.

00:12:02.800 He writes over Quillette.

00:12:03.760 I don't know if he likes that title,

00:12:04.900 but I don't really care.

00:12:05.900 I'm giving that to him anyway.

00:12:06.960 He never really misses his chance

00:12:08.820 to pile on on Twitter

00:12:10.820 and he never really misses

00:12:11.740 when he comes swinging.

00:12:13.240 So of course,

00:12:14.140 he got involved at this

00:12:15.840 and quote tweeted Amita Kutner

00:12:17.520 and he wrote,

00:12:18.440 He also responded in the replies

00:12:35.780 to Amita Kutner's statement.

00:12:36.900 He writes,

00:12:37.740 Reads exactly like satire.

00:12:39.540 Imagine how somebody

00:12:40.180 with any kind of real problem

00:12:41.360 would respond to these words.

00:12:42.760 So then Amita comes in

00:12:43.880 and responds to John Kay

00:12:45.600 and she writes,

00:12:46.980 Apparently misgendering

00:12:48.020 isn't depression.

00:12:49.200 Someone should tell

00:12:49.780 the Supreme Court of Canada,

00:12:51.220 Let's have some fun.

00:12:52.320 Help me raise $1

00:12:53.200 for each of the 68,321 followers

00:12:56.060 to give anti-oppression

00:12:57.120 a larger platform than him.

00:12:58.780 Hashtag

00:12:59.260 Trans rights are human rights.

00:13:01.320 Wait a second,

00:13:01.780 have I just committed a crime

00:13:02.800 on this show by accident?

00:13:04.600 Well,

00:13:05.060 if it's been it guys,

00:13:06.340 it's been a fun ride.

00:13:07.220 I've had a lot of fun

00:13:07.820 doing this show

00:13:08.440 but I'm afraid

00:13:09.660 that I've committed

00:13:10.220 a serious crime.

00:13:11.260 You see,

00:13:11.540 I've misgendered

00:13:12.120 the leader of a political party

00:13:13.380 in Amita Kutner

00:13:14.420 of the Green Party.

00:13:15.540 For that,

00:13:15.960 I must pay the price.

00:13:17.000 For that,

00:13:17.280 I must repent

00:13:17.960 for my crime,

00:13:19.180 my horrific crime

00:13:20.020 of misgendering Amita Kutner.

00:13:21.500 The Green Party

00:13:22.220 will be the Green Party.

00:13:23.720 The leaders of the Green Party

00:13:24.980 will also do what they do

00:13:26.820 which is oftentimes hilarious,

00:13:28.880 oftentimes worthy of mockery.

00:13:31.380 All of this,

00:13:31.980 however,

00:13:32.220 forced me to ask

00:13:34.160 a very simple question

00:13:35.140 which is this.

00:13:36.420 How is it possible

00:13:37.180 that the leader

00:13:38.180 of the Green Party

00:13:38.980 at the time

00:13:40.040 was able to debate

00:13:41.860 Justin Trudeau,

00:13:43.520 Irwin O'Toole,

00:13:44.620 Jagmeet Singh

00:13:45.280 and the leader

00:13:45.640 of the Bloc Québécois

00:13:46.500 when Maxime Bernier

00:13:47.840 of the PPC

00:13:48.700 wasn't allowed

00:13:49.960 to even debate

00:13:50.720 the federal candidates?

00:13:51.880 The Green Party

00:13:52.520 was able to muster

00:13:53.400 less than 400,000 votes

00:13:55.240 across the country.

00:13:56.340 Less than 400,000 votes.

00:13:58.520 Maxime Bernier

00:13:59.180 and the PPC

00:13:59.820 in the last federal election

00:14:00.980 got 850,000 votes

00:14:03.420 and they got

00:14:04.200 almost 5%

00:14:05.260 of the popular vote.

00:14:06.440 5% of the popular vote

00:14:07.560 compared to the Green Party's

00:14:09.260 less than 400,000 seats

00:14:11.800 and 2.3%

00:14:13.700 of the popular vote.

00:14:14.640 The Green Party

00:14:15.260 are somehow more serious

00:14:16.680 than the People's Party.

00:14:18.240 They're allowed

00:14:18.720 to debate

00:14:19.240 the federal candidates

00:14:20.440 on the debate stage

00:14:21.700 in front of the nation

00:14:22.400 and the PPC

00:14:23.400 aren't allowed to debate?

00:14:24.440 Give me a break.

00:14:25.440 I mean,

00:14:25.660 come on, 0.99

00:14:25.940 this is ridiculous. 0.98

00:14:27.120 Here we go. 0.52

00:14:27.640 It's hardware time

00:14:28.480 and the winner this week

00:14:29.320 is probably the least

00:14:30.440 surprising winner.

00:14:31.740 Now,

00:14:31.900 we've been doing

00:14:32.240 something different

00:14:32.700 on the show

00:14:33.100 for the past few weeks.

00:14:34.560 Instead of telling you

00:14:35.380 who the winner is

00:14:35.920 at the top of the show,

00:14:37.120 we hint at it

00:14:37.800 and then we tell you

00:14:38.440 at the end of the show

00:14:39.400 when it's the segment

00:14:40.100 so we don't let on

00:14:41.280 who the winner is.

00:14:41.920 We force you to watch

00:14:42.560 the program

00:14:43.120 to figure out who wins

00:14:44.340 and we let it on

00:14:45.660 pretty easily this episode.

00:14:47.120 You've probably seen

00:14:47.700 the clips.

00:14:48.120 It's been going

00:14:48.520 mega viral on Twitter.

00:14:50.220 Here's Pierre Pauly

00:14:50.960 doing his first media availability

00:14:52.520 as leader of the opposition

00:14:54.000 in Ottawa.

00:14:55.060 The clips have gotten

00:14:56.360 hundreds of thousands of views.

00:14:57.840 The clip I posted

00:14:58.560 onto Twitter has

00:14:59.360 I think something like

00:15:00.840 200,

00:15:01.620 over 200,000 views.

00:15:03.340 Now,

00:15:04.120 listen to the voice

00:15:04.880 you hear in the background.

00:15:05.740 The voice you hear

00:15:06.280 in the background

00:15:06.780 is David Aiken,

00:15:08.380 the chief political correspondent

00:15:09.840 for Global News.

00:15:11.400 And at one point,

00:15:12.180 he's very proud of his title.

00:15:13.580 He even goes on

00:15:14.120 to repeat it himself

00:15:15.080 to justify his heckling.

00:15:17.580 Watch this clip

00:15:18.380 and you tell me

00:15:19.420 if the legacy media

00:15:20.720 in this country

00:15:21.300 aren't having a total

00:15:22.480 and complete meltdown

00:15:23.380 over Pierre Pauly

00:15:24.080 as the new leader.

00:15:25.420 Thank you very much.

00:15:26.360 I appreciate it.

00:15:27.760 I appreciate your presence

00:15:28.920 here today.

00:15:30.240 Before I begin,

00:15:31.400 let me just say that

00:15:32.600 Thank you very much.

00:15:37.240 I'm being heckled here

00:15:38.880 by the...

00:15:40.840 Thank you very much

00:15:41.680 for your congratulations.

00:15:43.500 Thank you very much

00:15:44.480 for your questions.

00:15:45.880 I'm going to begin

00:15:46.500 my remarks now.

00:15:49.440 Justin Trudeau

00:15:50.480 is out of touch

00:15:52.020 and Canadians

00:15:53.120 are out of money.

00:15:54.140 The cost of government

00:15:56.080 is driving up

00:15:57.220 the cost of living.

00:15:59.320 A half a trillion dollars

00:16:00.680 of inflationary deficits

00:16:03.100 have bid up the cost

00:16:04.800 of the goods

00:16:05.400 we buy

00:16:06.740 and the interest

00:16:08.580 that Canadians pay.

00:16:10.480 The cost for workers

00:16:11.820 and businesses

00:16:13.120 to produce the goods

00:16:14.520 that we buy.

00:16:15.580 On top of that,

00:16:17.280 Trudeau proposes

00:16:18.080 yet more spending

00:16:19.160 to bid up costs

00:16:20.240 even further.

00:16:21.160 The more he spends,

00:16:24.640 the more things cost.

00:16:26.660 It is just inflation.

00:16:28.880 Their homes

00:16:29.440 and to buy a home

00:16:31.540 in the very first place.

00:16:32.740 I'll put my hand up.

00:16:33.340 The reason that...

00:16:34.720 Can I get on the left hand

00:16:35.640 and ask the question?

00:16:36.660 Is that what it works?

00:16:37.500 So, I mean,

00:16:38.240 we have basically

00:16:41.220 a liberal heckler

00:16:42.720 who snuck in here today

00:16:43.960 to...

00:16:44.160 I'm a liberal heckler.

00:16:45.160 I work for Global News.

00:16:47.600 I'm the chief political correspondent

00:16:48.740 for that organization.

00:16:49.640 You may remember me

00:16:51.160 from the guy

00:16:51.820 who actually reported first

00:16:53.100 on the Prime Minister

00:16:54.100 breaking the law.

00:16:55.060 Are you going to let me

00:16:55.800 make my statement?

00:16:56.200 We'd just like to ask a question.

00:16:57.240 Say, yes,

00:16:57.820 I'll take a question.

00:16:57.920 I've actually never seen you

00:16:59.460 heckling the Prime Minister.

00:17:01.180 I've done it before.

00:17:01.360 Ask Minister Barry

00:17:02.140 back in the day.

00:17:03.400 Look, bottom line is this.

00:17:04.500 I'm going to take some questions

00:17:05.480 at the end of this statement.

00:17:06.380 Yes, I'll be taking two questions

00:17:08.060 at the very end.

00:17:08.700 Thank you very much.

00:17:09.380 Thank you very much.

00:17:10.520 So, I'm going to start

00:17:11.360 my statement again.

00:17:13.020 So, there you have it, guys.

00:17:14.320 Another clear-cut example

00:17:15.920 of legacy media

00:17:17.120 shooting straight down the line

00:17:18.800 reporting the facts

00:17:19.800 for Canadians

00:17:20.300 holding truth to power.

00:17:22.440 Oh, wait, sorry.

00:17:23.260 That's not quite

00:17:24.460 what we saw, is it?

00:17:25.340 What we saw there

00:17:26.020 was David Aiken

00:17:26.920 of Global News

00:17:27.880 yelling and heckling

00:17:28.880 at Pierre Polyev,

00:17:29.800 not even letting

00:17:30.360 Pierre Polyev speak

00:17:31.400 before hurling

00:17:32.740 questions at him.

00:17:34.040 And then when

00:17:34.620 Pierre Polyev

00:17:35.200 finally decides

00:17:35.980 to stop what he's saying

00:17:37.700 and actually acknowledge

00:17:39.580 David Aiken

00:17:40.100 and his poor behavior,

00:17:41.320 David Aiken proudly

00:17:42.200 proclaims that he is

00:17:43.200 David Aiken,

00:17:43.840 the chief political

00:17:44.580 correspondent

00:17:45.040 of Global News,

00:17:46.380 the very powerful,

00:17:47.400 very influential David Aiken.

00:17:48.900 Wow, David,

00:17:49.460 great for you, bud.

00:17:50.280 You embarrassed yourself

00:17:51.340 in front of

00:17:52.720 what is quickly becoming

00:17:53.880 a national audience

00:17:55.180 on Twitter.

00:17:55.900 Everyone is mocking you 1.00

00:17:57.000 for this ridiculous job. 0.99

00:17:59.100 Anyway, you're probably 0.98

00:17:59.860 asking yourself,

00:18:00.660 okay, fair enough.

00:18:01.580 We've all seen the clip already.

00:18:03.220 Where's the ratio?

00:18:04.220 Well, the ratio came in

00:18:05.440 pretty quick after that.

00:18:06.720 David Aiken tweeted

00:18:07.380 as he usually does

00:18:08.040 about press conferences

00:18:08.820 happening,

00:18:09.340 so he tweeted about

00:18:10.020 Jagmeet Singh's

00:18:10.960 Thunder Bay press conference.

00:18:12.280 And let's just say

00:18:14.480 he has been

00:18:15.340 ruthlessly ratioed

00:18:17.260 for this tweet.

00:18:18.840 The tweet,

00:18:19.320 which I'm sure

00:18:19.920 probably only gets

00:18:21.020 about one or two comments

00:18:22.640 and five or six likes.

00:18:24.340 These are just usual tweets

00:18:25.460 he puts out

00:18:26.560 notifying people

00:18:27.340 of when press conferences

00:18:28.180 are happening.

00:18:28.960 Well, this one

00:18:29.520 was a little different.

00:18:30.440 You see, this one

00:18:31.080 at the time of recording

00:18:32.440 has over 850 comments

00:18:34.700 and less than 30 likes.

00:18:37.120 He's got 25 likes

00:18:38.480 for 853 comments,

00:18:40.480 a brutal ratio.

00:18:42.280 We've got some comments

00:18:43.280 which we'll get into,

00:18:44.100 but I want to be fair

00:18:44.880 unlike Global News

00:18:45.920 and actually provide

00:18:46.640 some fair context.

00:18:48.140 David Aiken did actually

00:18:49.840 apologize for his behavior

00:18:51.280 at the Polyev press conference.

00:18:53.360 He wrote on Twitter,

00:18:54.380 Lots of readers and viewers

00:18:55.320 called me about

00:18:55.980 today's Parliament Hill presser.

00:18:57.360 Many said I was rude

00:18:58.140 and disrespectful

00:18:58.660 to Pierre Polyev.

00:19:00.040 I agree.

00:19:00.760 I'm sorry for that.

00:19:01.920 We all want politicians

00:19:02.820 to answer questions,

00:19:04.020 but there are better ways

00:19:04.920 at making that point.

00:19:05.760 I have to say

00:19:06.460 that is a very classy statement

00:19:07.860 from David Aiken.

00:19:08.660 It takes a lot

00:19:09.160 for someone to apologize

00:19:10.080 and David Aiken did that

00:19:11.600 and rightly so.

00:19:12.600 Now I also have to say

00:19:13.340 on top of that,

00:19:14.700 Pierre Polyev held

00:19:15.720 a media availability,

00:19:17.420 his first media availability

00:19:19.060 as leader of the opposition,

00:19:21.280 and he only took two questions,

00:19:23.000 one in English

00:19:23.460 and one in French.

00:19:24.660 Now I'm sorry,

00:19:25.600 but that's pretty weak

00:19:26.940 in my opinion.

00:19:27.920 We all know the legacy media

00:19:29.180 will never give

00:19:29.840 the conservatives

00:19:30.380 a fair shake,

00:19:31.340 but even so,

00:19:32.480 stand there,

00:19:33.380 take the questions,

00:19:34.660 put them back in their place,

00:19:35.740 and let the journalists

00:19:36.520 expose themselves.

00:19:37.500 Now you guys had some

00:19:38.280 great comments

00:19:38.940 for David Aiken 0.99

00:19:40.220 and his ridiculous 0.98

00:19:41.360 temper tantrum in Ottawa. 0.99

00:19:43.240 This person writes,

00:19:44.440 nice little fit you threw today,

00:19:45.620 reminds me of the convoy days.

00:19:47.020 Yes, exactly.

00:19:47.940 Takes us all back,

00:19:48.800 doesn't it?

00:19:49.200 Takes us back

00:19:49.600 to the good old days

00:19:50.380 when every single

00:19:51.200 legacy media journalist

00:19:52.180 refused to report

00:19:53.420 the news fairly,

00:19:54.560 and yet they still wonder

00:19:55.680 why Canadians don't trust them.

00:19:57.800 What a mystery that is.

00:19:59.120 We've got this person commenting,

00:20:00.380 now that is a ratio,

00:20:01.940 and it certainly is.

00:20:03.180 My goodness,

00:20:03.960 that is a ratio.

00:20:04.620 And this person writes,

00:20:06.360 Pierre let you off easy today.

00:20:07.780 Exactly.

00:20:08.600 He actually did let

00:20:09.620 David Aiken off easy.

00:20:10.940 He could have stood there,

00:20:12.340 taken his questions,

00:20:13.340 and then went even deeper on them.

00:20:15.220 That's what this legacy media needs.

00:20:16.660 This legacy media needs to be put

00:20:18.540 firmly back in their place.

00:20:20.660 And they need an opposition leader

00:20:21.680 who's not going to run away from them,

00:20:23.400 but challenge them.

00:20:24.360 Take them on,

00:20:24.940 head on, Pierre.

00:20:25.940 Take them on,

00:20:26.560 and let's have some fun with it.

00:20:27.740 I want to see you stand

00:20:29.020 and take these questions, man.

00:20:30.200 Come on.
