Rebel News Podcast - Trudeau proposes new Internet censorship — and neither Conservatives nor the media object

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. Today, I talk about something that has not been reported in any Canadian media

00:00:04.660 other than the lucky people who live in Sault Ste. Marie.

00:00:08.860 Justin Trudeau has announced a new censorship provision in his campaign platform.

00:00:13.740 You'd think that would be of interest, but apparently only lucky Sault Ste. Marie citizens

00:00:18.400 know about it, because that's the only newspaper that's written about it.

00:00:21.360 I'll take you through it today, based on a foreign newspaper reporting it.

00:00:26.040 Folks, before I get out of the way, can you do me a favor and go to premium.rebelnews.com?

00:00:30.780 It's eight bucks a month, and you get the video version of the podcast, the video version.

00:00:36.220 And you're going to want to do that because, oh, do I have some images to show you on the

00:00:40.420 second half of the podcast, where we sit down with Justin Trudeau's yearbook, brought in

00:00:47.680 by our friend Candace Malcolm. Oh, you've got to see it. Yeah, you can engage in the theater

00:00:52.180 of the mind that is the podcast, but you've got to see the viz. And you can by becoming

00:00:56.860 a premium subscriber. Premium.rebelnews.com is eight bucks a month. Give her. Okay, here's

00:01:01.940 the show. Tonight, Justin Trudeau's campaign platform proposes new internet censorship,

00:01:22.180 and neither the conservatives nor the media object. It's October 2nd, and this is The

00:01:26.580 Podcast for The Vance Show. Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer

00:01:32.820 I know? There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer. The only thing

00:01:38.080 I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right

00:01:42.660 to do so.

00:01:48.620 What a terrible few days it's been for freedom of speech. First, our friend Andrew Lawton was

00:01:54.160 kicked off the Liberal campaign bus for, well, they wouldn't say exactly. They said he wasn't

00:01:58.840 accredited, which is weird because there really isn't any such thing as media accreditation in

00:02:04.000 Canada. It's not like being a doctor or even a certified plumber. He's just become a journalist

00:02:09.260 by doing journalism, and Andrew has been a journalist for more than a decade. In fact,

00:02:13.020 he's even interviewed Justin Trudeau before.

00:02:16.360 If you were Prime Minister, what would your plan be on a carbon tax? Is it something you would

00:02:20.720 consider? I have said, like all different parties, including Mr. Harper, that we need

00:02:26.340 some sort of price on carbon pollution. But the mechanism through which we do that should be up to

00:02:33.700 various provinces because they've already taken the lead on that. And what the federal government

00:02:39.900 needs to do is coordinate that and oversee the implementation.

00:02:45.580 So that's an accredited journalist in my books and apparently in Justin Trudeau's books. But Trudeau's

00:02:52.980 had a rough go of things lately, and he can't risk having a journalist around who isn't fully compliant

00:02:58.260 to the Unifor Union's pro-Trudeau campaign, or at least part of the massive media bailout. So Andrew

00:03:03.600 was banned. And then it got weirder when police literally pulled him over to the side of the road

00:03:08.320 to grill him. And of course, it got a lot worse this week when Andrew Scheer did the same thing to

00:03:13.940 our own David Menzies. Kicked him out of a press conference that was open to all media.

00:03:18.940 As this is not a public event, and you're not accredited media, so we're going to ask you to

00:03:24.560 leave this. How do you get to be accredited media? You need to be accredited by the campaign. You're

00:03:28.800 not accredited media, so we're going to ask you to leave, please. And why is that? You're not

00:03:32.120 accredited media. This is a private event. We are going to ask you to leave, please. No, you keep saying

00:03:35.180 that, but why am I not accredited media? I'm not doing an interview right here right now. You can get in

00:03:38.000 touch with our press office. Well, that's what I was invited for. You are actually not invited. You are not

00:03:41.640 accredited media. We're going to ask you to leave. You can get in touch with the press office and

00:03:44.760 learn more about it. Is this the Andrew Scheer event or the Justin Trudeau event? Mr. Menzies,

00:03:50.340 I'm going to ask you to leave, please. You're not accredited. What is he announcing that you don't

00:03:53.500 want to? Who are you by the way? I'm with the campaign. You're welcome to step outside here. I'll

00:03:58.740 stay here. That enforcer is actually my former employee, Jamie Ellerton, now working for Andrew

00:04:05.960 Scheer, using the word-for-word excuse Trudeau used with Andrew Lawton. You're not accredited

00:04:11.520 because you're not accredited. And just like Andrew Lawton had interviewed Justin Trudeau

00:04:17.420 before, David Menzies has interviewed conservatives hundreds of times before. It was weird. And

00:04:23.280 then the handcuffs was just the new low. And then comes news of Justin Trudeau's new censorship

00:04:29.640 policy. Here it is being reported in the U.S.-based Breitbart.com. Justin Trudeau's party demands

00:04:36.520 big tech hate speech crackdown. Of course, what he means is cracking down on speech that

00:04:41.800 he hates. And we'll be the first to go at the rebel. We and Andrew Lawton, I guess.

00:04:47.340 It is disappointing to see the conservatives engage in peddling rebel media conspiracy theories

00:04:54.020 while we work with the international community to protect our robust immigration system.

00:04:59.300 Here, let me read from Breitbart's article. Say, have you seen this story in any Canadian

00:05:05.980 media? I'm just kidding. Of course not. I mean, it's the same reason we all have to rely

00:05:10.780 on Time Magazine, an American magazine, to break the blackface photos and the Daily Telegraph

00:05:16.280 of the U.K. to go deeper into the bizarre blackface night at Justin Trudeau's school where

00:05:20.280 he thought our Canadian media had been completely tamed. And all it took was $600 million.

00:05:25.760 That's actually pitiful. Okay, so here's the story in Breitbart. The ruling Liberal Party

00:05:30.720 of Canada, whose leader and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was recently outed for repeatedly

00:05:35.720 wearing blackface, has pledged to force social media companies to remove hate speech within

00:05:40.720 24 hours if it wins the upcoming Canadian election. And then Breitbart quotes from the Liberal platform.

00:05:49.000 The Liberal platform, available on the party's website, states, social media can also be used

00:05:53.860 to threaten, intimidate, bully, and harass people, or used to promote racist, anti-Semitic,

00:05:58.820 Islamophobic, misogynist, and homophobic views that target communities, put people's safety

00:06:03.960 at risk, and undermine Hamler's longstanding commitment to diversity. We believe that when

00:06:08.700 social media platforms are used to spread these harmful views, the platforms themselves

00:06:12.840 must also be held accountable.

00:06:14.200 What's a harmful view? I agree that threatening people, if that means a threat of violence,

00:06:22.360 that's wrong. We already have a criminal code provision against uttering threats. What's

00:06:26.920 a misogynistic view? Is that when, say, Trudeau gropes someone and then gaslights them, gaslights

00:06:34.640 his victim saying, oh, she just remembered it wrong?

00:06:37.340 Like I said, I do not feel that I acted inappropriately in any way. But I respect the fact that someone

00:06:47.640 else might have experienced that differently.

00:06:51.100 Is that the kind of misogynistic view that Justin Trudeau wants to ban online? How can

00:06:55.660 you put a real threat of violence in the same category as an opinion that undermines Canada's

00:07:01.340 longstanding commitment to diversity? One is a crime that police need to get involved with. 0.54

00:07:06.320 The other is some political opinion. But look at this. I'll read more from the Breitbart

00:07:09.700 story because I can't read this from the CBC because they haven't reported on it.

00:07:13.080 To help stop the proliferation of violent extremism online, we will move forward with

00:07:18.220 new regulations for social media platforms, starting with the requirement that all platforms

00:07:22.780 remove illegal content, including hate speech, within 24 hours or face significant financial

00:07:29.140 penalties.

00:07:30.940 So within 24 hours of the Liberal Party complaining to their friends at Facebook or Twitter or YouTube,

00:07:36.320 those companies absolutely have to take down the content in question or face significant

00:07:41.420 penalties. Now, I imagine that some illegal content, like a terrorist snuff film, for example,

00:07:46.840 would be immediately evident. But in what other legal system that you can think of,

00:07:52.080 is there an accusation, a trial, and a verdict, and maybe an appeal in 24 hours?

00:07:59.760 In real life, if there is an accusation, it has its day in court. If there's an urgent crime,

00:08:05.980 if there's an emergency, the police race over and stop any violence and detain someone dangerous if

00:08:10.760 that's necessary. But then, if he's not dangerous, he's let out on bail if there's no real risk. And

00:08:15.760 then everybody comes back to court after having had time to prepare, and a neutral judge in an open

00:08:20.480 court has a hearing. That's how we decide if something is illegal in Canada. An accusation is

00:08:26.520 definitely a part of it, but it's just the starting part. Then we have the middle part,

00:08:31.000 and then we have the end part. We don't do it in 24 hours by threatening social media companies with

00:08:36.040 a massive fine. It's clear they'll always lean in favor of the Liberal government's demands. I mean,

00:08:42.160 not only are they liberal to begin with by nature, but these companies, they simply don't want to pay

00:08:46.120 a million-dollar fine for not listening to Justin Trudeau. It's actually a shakedown, Trudeau

00:08:50.480 shaking down the social media companies, but I think they like it. It just gives them legal cover for a

00:08:55.420 massive political purge that they want to do now, but just couldn't justify. Trudeau is telling social

00:09:02.260 media companies, censor my enemies in 24 hours, or I'll hurt you. It's exactly what he threatened

00:09:08.640 Sheryl Sandberg, the Facebook COO, with directly 18 months ago. Remember that? The Toronto Star actually

00:09:14.600 reported that once, and then no one ever mentioned it again. Because they're all on payroll now,

00:09:19.960 including the Toronto Star now. Toronto Star is getting $115,000 a week from Trudeau. That's where

00:09:26.960 this is all headed. All media will either be paid by the government or punished by the government.

00:09:32.820 Lawton, Menzies, Rebel News. I searched and I found only one story about this in Canada,

00:09:39.120 written by this interesting-looking fellow, David Helwig, an old-school 1960s liberal who

00:09:45.560 wrote this item in Sioux Today. That's a small publication for Sault Ste. Marie. Good story.

00:09:52.180 There's about 70,000 Canadians who live in Sault Ste. Marie. In the form of David Helwig's story,

00:09:57.000 they got more journalism than anyone who reads the Toronto Star or the CBC, didn't they?

00:10:01.900 Other than that, no one cares. Now, I find that odd. I find that sad. I think it's the death of

00:10:06.940 journalism. But every remaining journalist has made their peace with that because the industry is so weak,

00:10:11.920 it's been taken over by vultures. If this were the 1990s before the internet devoured newspapers,

00:10:17.260 when newspapers still made money, lots of money, when TV stations were strong before video devoured

00:10:21.700 them, the idea that Trudeau could throw a few hundred million dollars at all the publishers in

00:10:26.560 the country and buy them all off, the idea that the entire media unions would endorse and campaign

00:10:32.520 for candidates was unthinkable. But the remaining journalists are so shell-shocked and so worried

00:10:37.600 about their personal financial futures, they've sold out. They've made the decision they would

00:10:42.380 rather be able to write in a very narrow political bandwidth permitted by their masters and have a

00:10:47.720 safe government subsidized paycheck than enjoy the freedom that used to be the bedrock of journalism

00:10:52.300 in any creative industry. Journalists always said they cared about free speech. What they really

00:10:57.660 always meant was they cared about their own free speech, not so much about others. But

00:11:01.820 now they've decided they don't even really care about their own free speech,

00:11:05.660 at least not more than they care about a few dollars. Free speech is an abstract belief,

00:11:11.200 won't pay their rent or grocery bill. There was this super gross moment the other day,

00:11:15.060 Rosemary Barton asked about the oil and gas industry and called it a dying industry. Did you catch that?

00:11:22.000 You see Jessica's kids working in the oil and gas sector. I mean, Jessica's...

00:11:26.780 Jessica, do you see your kids working in the... I mean, but do you, is there, is that,

00:11:30.100 is it fair to say that's a dying industry because it has to be?

00:11:33.540 Yeah. No, Rosemary, I know that was what your platonic boyfriend keeps saying. But back in real

00:11:45.420 life, every single authority in the world forecasts that the demand for oil and gas and coal will

00:11:51.240 remain strong for the foreseeable future. Everyone drives. China and India want to drive too. They want

00:11:56.660 electricity too. No one is decarbonizing. That's a kooky thing that autistic teenagers from Sweden talk about, 1.00

00:12:02.520 but it is not real life. No, oil and gas jobs are thriving around the world, Rosemary.

00:12:08.080 They're only in trouble in Canada because of the political meddling. No, it's actually media jobs

00:12:13.520 that are dying, but not even. It's just that Rosemary Barton's, well, those kind of journalists,

00:12:19.340 they no longer have a monopoly. So more people are getting their news from Rebel News and Andrew

00:12:23.580 Lawton and David Menzies and a thousand other citizen journalists than from some boring liberal

00:12:27.640 legacy media. Rosemary Barton would be out of a job were it not for Trudeau's largette. 0.97

00:12:32.800 The rest of the media party has made the same deal with the devil. It's their industry that's dying.

00:12:37.540 It's not oil and gas. They're not journalists anymore. They're in the PR business. I mean,

00:12:41.660 you saw, remember that desperate, desperate young CTV reporter in Ottawa who was mocking Kian?

00:12:46.440 Remember his softball questions for Catherine McKenna.

00:12:50.600 What is your message to those like this gentleman here and people who will never listen to what

00:12:55.320 you're saying today? When you hear the president of the United States say what he said recently about

00:12:59.780 why are they going after plastic straws? How difficult is it to combat the mudding of the

00:13:03.840 waters when you have people advocating? When I speak to conservative supporters, or at least those

00:13:08.460 who claim to be, they say the carbon tax has to go. When you talk to constituents, what are they saying

00:13:14.220 about the carbon tax? Do they understand what the carbon tax is and who initially came up with it?

00:13:19.740 Yeah, that's a job application. That's not an interview. That's called, can you hire me as your

00:13:24.280 press secretary after the election so I can stop doing stories that nobody watches for 50 grand a year

00:13:28.960 at CTV? And can you give me a 35-hour-a-week job for 120 grand a year, please? He's no journalist.

00:13:35.920 That, my friends, is why no one in Canada, other than one colorful character in the Sioux, is running about

00:13:41.580 Trudeau's new plans for censorship. Well, you've got us around, at least until they shut us down on

00:13:47.700 24 hours notice. Stay with us. We'll talk about more censorship next.

00:14:04.220 Welcome back. Well, we're talking about censorship. I have breaking news. Let me read to you a tweet

00:14:09.480 by a reporter for an independent online Canadian news site called The Post Millennial. You know some

00:14:16.840 of their contributors, including our friend Barbara Kane. Let me read to you from Siddak Ahuja,

00:14:23.020 who writes from Montreal. He says, very odd to be questioned by the RCMP just now for photographing

00:14:29.660 the Trudeau campaign bus. I told them I was a journalist with The Post Millennial. They told me,

00:14:34.860 quote, stick to media events. Really. Since when do we live in a society where the police tell reporters

00:14:43.920 what they can and can't report on? Very troubling. This comes on the heels of our own David Menzies

00:14:50.500 being handcuffed by RCMP at an Andrew Scheer event, which was the most bizarre part of it. And our next

00:14:58.520 guest is the editor-in-chief of True North, whose reporter Andrew Lawton, an old buddy of ours,

00:15:05.660 was not arrested, thank God, but was pulled over and questioned by police on the highway for

00:15:12.320 following the liberal campaign. Joining us now in studio is Candace Malcolm. Candace, great to see you.

00:15:17.660 Thanks for having me, Ezra. Well, it's nice to see you. And I don't want to talk too much about

00:15:22.580 censorship before we move on to your big scoop. But give me a few thoughts on the treatment that

00:15:30.320 Andrew Lawton endured, that David Menzies endured, and now it looks like Siddhaq Ahuja. I don't know

00:15:36.680 him well, but if his report is accurate, I find that troubling. Absolutely. The police have no business

00:15:41.860 telling a journalist what they can and cannot report, period. And the fact that we're seeing this over and

00:15:45.960 over again in election, it's troubling. It should be alarming to every journalist in the profession.

00:15:49.920 And it's sad, Ezra, that there are a couple of outlets that lean right editorially. You know,

00:15:54.560 there's thousands of outlets in Canada that lean to the left, thousands of journalists anyway,

00:15:58.080 dozens of outlets. And, you know, if anything happened to them, I'm sure there would be solidarity

00:16:02.380 amongst the journalist class. But when it happens to someone who comes from an outlet that might lean

00:16:06.720 right or have a right-wing editorial position, the media just doesn't care, by and large. The

00:16:11.180 journalists ignore it. And it was unfortunate, I thought, that the conservatives did the same thing,

00:16:16.280 because the liberals were doing it. And it was totally, totally, totally unacceptable.

00:16:21.240 And, you know, we were ringing the alarm bell the way that Andrew Lawton was being treated.

00:16:24.860 And then to see the conservatives do the same thing was very disappointing. And I will know it

00:16:28.300 was a little funny that when it happened with the conservatives, you saw the Toronto Star writing

00:16:32.560 about it, you saw something about it in McLean's, whereas all those journalists had completely ignored

00:16:36.440 it when Trudeau was doing the exact same thing to us the week before.

00:16:38.880 Not just ignored it. You know, you made me think. I mean, about a month ago,

00:16:42.680 I had an op-ed in the Globe and Mail. I was very grateful for it. I was surprised by it.

00:16:47.160 They let me write about this marginalization, this censorship. And I wrote it very carefully,

00:16:52.840 because the Globe and Mail is a pretty prestigious audience. I criticized the Globe and Mail,

00:16:56.100 but I have to tip my hat. They gave me 800 words.

00:16:58.600 Absolutely.

00:16:58.900 The Unifor Union tore a strip off their own editors, wrote a letter of complaint that I should

00:17:07.160 not even have been allowed to complain in their pages. So not even did, they didn't, let alone

00:17:14.380 show support for our marginalization. They didn't want me to complain in their pages about the

00:17:20.600 marginalization. I find that the most troubling part. Yes, I don't like what politicians are doing.

00:17:26.360 Yes, I don't like what the cops are doing. But where are all the journalists who are supposed to care?

00:17:33.940 Right. And that's the question. You know, they don't want, maybe it's the competition. Maybe it's

00:17:38.420 because they kind of have a monopoly over the ideas. They decide, you know, what is left, what is right,

00:17:43.340 and what gets reported on. And the fact that there's so many independent outlets, they feel

00:17:47.320 threatened, obviously. And then they just don't really trust people who have a conservative worldview.

00:17:52.440 And it was so unfortunate because so many Canadians do have that worldview. And the fact that

00:17:56.340 Canadians who come from a conservative position or conservative persuasion aren't allowed to

00:18:01.260 have reports geared towards them, aren't allowed to have stories told in a voice that appeals to

00:18:06.100 them. It's very, very concerning. It's a sad state of journalism in this country.

00:18:10.720 Yeah. I mean, that's right. I don't claim that the rebel speaks for everyone, but we do tell

00:18:15.480 a side of the story. And there seems to be a demand for it and a demand enough that the true north

00:18:21.540 and the post-millennial, I think there's room on the right, but not according to the establishment.

00:18:28.500 Last question on this, because I want to move on to your news. And you've brought evidence and

00:18:33.060 artifacts with you today. I can hardly wait to get into it. But just one last thing. If it were

00:18:38.520 Stephen Harper, the prime minister, or Doug Ford, the premier, or Jason Kenney, the premier,

00:18:43.780 who was ordering journalists out, who was telling the cops to shoo away journalists on the left,

00:18:52.460 journalists from the far left Toronto Star, from Rabble or Press Progress or whatever,

00:18:58.820 I don't think the establishment would be this quiet, do you? I don't think Unifor would say,

00:19:03.820 shut up, do you? 0.99

00:19:04.300 No. I mean, this is what they accuse Trump of doing. What they accuse Trump of doing that's 0.99

00:19:08.520 like half-based in fantasy is what Trudeau is actually doing. And unfortunately, what Scheer did

00:19:13.980 to your journalist the other day, I mean, having someone cuffed was just awful to see.

00:19:17.720 I've never seen it before in Canada. It was so awful to see. But, you know,

00:19:21.280 just the idea that when Trudeau was running for office in 2015, he was criticizing Harper for

00:19:26.900 kicking someone out of a rally. He wasn't a journalist. He was just a citizen. And Trudeau

00:19:31.060 repeated himself over and over again that he respects journalists and that he's always going to be

00:19:35.140 open to journalists. You know, it's just four years ago and how conveniently that's been scrubbed

00:19:39.280 from the record. Journalists don't bring it up. They don't talk about the fact that not only is

00:19:43.180 Trudeau acting like a dictator, but he's a complete hypocrite because it's exactly the opposite of 0.99

00:19:46.760 what he was saying four years ago. Yeah. I keep saying soon there will only be two kinds of 0.98

00:19:51.220 journalists allowed, those that are paid by the government and those that are punished by the

00:19:56.120 government. It'll all be government, either approved or banned, just no independence. I fear that's

00:20:01.800 coming true quickly. All right. Let me put that aside because, I mean, I wanted to talk because

00:20:05.840 you're the editor-in-chief of True North, so it's great to have you here and we're fans of yours

00:20:09.400 anyways. But you, besides just being the editor-in-chief of True North, you do real digging and you have

00:20:17.040 brought with you today two books. And why don't you just show the cover, show the cover and we'll have

00:20:24.580 a close-up later. You've brought yearbooks. Yeah. So these are the yearbooks from West Point

00:20:30.780 Gray Academy, which is the very small private school on the west side of Vancouver that Justin

00:20:35.920 Trudeau taught at for just a brief time. He was there for a little over two years, Ezra. So,

00:20:41.020 you know, we can go through these yearbooks. They're kind of go back to a different time. I don't know

00:20:45.400 that schools still put together yearbooks like this in this sort of digital age, but this was before

00:20:49.360 Facebook. This is before social media. And, you know, you can just kind of see a picture of what

00:20:55.000 it was like at this school. And one of the things that I just find so interesting, Ezra, is how many

00:21:00.440 times Justin Trudeau's photo appears in these yearbooks. You know, he was a teacher. He was not a

00:21:05.100 student. This isn't from his high school. This is as an adult man, a 28, 29-year-old teacher. You know,

00:21:10.460 you see his face over and over and over again, goofing around, roughhousing with the students,

00:21:14.860 wearing different costumes. His picture appears about a dozen times in each yearbook.

00:21:18.900 Probably more than any other students. More than the students.

00:21:23.220 This is not on the cover, but that's a surprise. Well, take me through these. I see you have some

00:21:27.780 sticky tabs. Yeah, sure. So, well, I mean, first of all, the most incriminating thing of all,

00:21:33.500 obviously, is the picture of him wearing blackface, which is right here.

00:21:37.060 He does it all the time. Yeah, but this is the first instance. And, you know, it's interesting because

00:21:42.920 it's surprising that this hasn't come out before, Ezra. But when you're looking through the yearbook,

00:21:47.000 you know, the picture, it's kind of right in the middle. It almost blends in because there's a

00:21:50.520 black background here. You could see how someone even looking for it might miss it. It took me a

00:21:54.760 few times flipping through to even find the damage. But, you know, aside from that, there's a lot of

00:22:00.360 other things that stand out about Justin Trudeau. So, here he is. I spoke to a couple of students who

00:22:05.820 attended the school, and they told me that Trudeau was kind of known at the school for being the

00:22:10.980 Ultimate Frisbee coach. Now, you know, Ultimate Frisbee is probably not a thing at a lot of

00:22:16.740 schools. But here he is in two years in a row. There's pictures of him kind of dressing up.

00:22:23.060 There he is with his arms around the students. Here he is wearing a kilt, and they're doing some

00:22:27.380 kind of a human triangle there. He's wearing a kilt, but none of them are wearing kilts.

00:22:31.080 Right, right. That's weird. Yeah. And then let me just find the next year, because this is the one

00:22:36.080 that I included in my son column here. And hang on. On this picture at the top here,

00:22:41.460 he's got his arm around a girl. I tell you, maybe it's the 2019 Me Too era. I would never put my arm

00:22:49.260 around a girl who was not my wife or my daughter. Like, that's a little bit handsy.

00:22:55.680 Well, Trudeau is really chummy with the students. And honestly, it seems like he is a student.

00:22:59.620 When you look at these, this is the next year with the Ultimate Frisbee team. So, here he is here

00:23:04.060 with a big Mickey Mouse hat on with his face painted. Here he is down here wearing a black

00:23:09.100 Afro wig, also with face paint, again with the kilt. And here he is up here just sort of playing 0.99

00:23:14.800 in roughhousing with the students. He's in more pictures than any given kid.

00:23:19.420 Yeah. And then this is funny, too, because they wrote a little poem about the team.

00:23:23.020 And they described Justin Trudeau as a loudmouth maniac. This is the Prime Minister of Canada.

00:23:29.160 You know, that's how they described him, a loudmouth maniac. 0.91

00:23:31.660 That's so funny. Which is interesting. But, you know, again, I spoke to the students

00:23:35.960 at the school. And one of the things that was really interesting, Ezra, is that he didn't

00:23:40.140 really have a teaching job. He was at the school. He was kind of a backup.

00:23:44.440 But he was a mascot. Just like he is as Prime Minister.

00:23:47.720 He was a mascot of the Ultimate Frisbee team. But he didn't have a class that he taught every

00:23:51.920 day. He kind of floated around. Because that's too much work.

00:23:54.800 He was kind of like a backup teacher. So, he was the backup drama teacher.

00:23:58.040 He was a yearbook instructor. Interestingly enough, he taught a yearbook class.

00:24:03.680 Is that a class? Or, like, he ran the club?

00:24:05.840 It was an elective class.

00:24:07.920 A class called Yearbook? I didn't know that was a class.

00:24:10.000 Yeah. At this private school, it was. And so, you know, it's interesting, because he

00:24:13.980 would have been the one that was editing it. And, you know, all the pictures of him, and,

00:24:17.720 you know, he was editing it. So, this is the only picture in the whole yearbook I could

00:24:21.340 find of him actually teaching something. And the caption says, Mr. Trudeau loves to teach

00:24:26.040 French to kindergarten students. And again, he's wearing the kilt.

00:24:28.940 He's wearing a whole outfit. He's got the...

00:24:30.080 All the kids are on the floor.

00:24:31.460 Yeah.

00:24:31.840 So, they're at crotch height. And he's wearing a kilt. Now, to wear the kilt regimental style,

00:24:37.760 there's nothing but net under there. It's just all fresco. It's just freezy breezy.

00:24:43.420 He looks like he's a pirate with a kilt. Now, maybe that's a traditional Scottish shirt.

00:24:50.840 Why is he wearing a kilt when he's teaching French to kids? Is it always dress-up day

00:24:56.200 in Trudeau land?

00:24:57.240 Well, you know, that's really... I mean, maybe you could say he just had a lot of school

00:25:00.500 spirit and he was a fun guy. But, you know, this is the person who became prime minister

00:25:04.700 of the country. And, you know, a major fact on his resume, he likes to say that he was

00:25:09.360 a teacher. But, you know, Esri, it doesn't really seem like he was a teacher at the school.

00:25:13.020 It just seems like he was more like a camp counselor there as a PR stunt, you know, having

00:25:18.160 the former son, the son of the former prime minister there, you know, teaching kids, you

00:25:24.520 know, French is his native language. And he's teaching French to five-year-olds. That's

00:25:29.500 not really teaching. That's something that anyone could really do. So, again, you know,

00:25:35.340 all the pictures, all the fun that he's having, it really just, again, kind of makes it concrete

00:25:40.980 that Trudeau was not a serious teacher at the school. He's not a serious person. He wasn't

00:25:45.400 someone who you would ever guess would one day lead Canada and become the prime minister,

00:25:49.920 especially when this is his biggest thing on his resume that he likes to point to that

00:25:53.380 he did before becoming a politician.

00:25:55.080 We've got a lot of sticky tabs there. Are there other things that are interesting to see?

00:25:58.940 Well, I was just going to kind of... Oh, this is interesting. The West Point Grey Gala,

00:26:03.620 so the blackface photo came from the gala in 2001. This is the year before. You can tell

00:26:09.040 that Trudeau was there to raise money for the school, and they brag about it. They brag

00:26:11.820 about the fact that he brought in over $100,000 and that he was the emcee. Here it says, the

00:26:17.840 theme was James Bond. Who better to fit the role than none other than Mr. Trudeau, who came

00:26:23.060 equipped with a tux martini glass and a plastic gun? And here he is holding a gun, holding a

00:26:29.780 gun. You know, he's surrounded by women. He looks like kind of like a creepy kind of 0.67

00:26:33.320 womanizer. Yeah, and there's a woman down, there's a couple women down on his knees. 1.00

00:26:36.320 Down on his knees. He's got the gun up to the woman's bare chest here. And, you know, I just

00:26:41.220 thought it was kind of funny because when Trudeau's blackface scandal came, the liberals quickly

00:26:46.540 announced a gun ban, right? And that was how they were changing the channel. Well, you know,

00:26:50.300 here's oblivious Justin Trudeau bringing a gun to a school event a few months after the Columbine

00:26:55.280 massacre, Ezra. So this is really, you know, it's not in line with Trudeau's brand here.

00:27:00.840 Well, this is very interesting. Are there any other photos of note or other passages?

00:27:07.100 No, just again, you know, here's Trudeau having fun. He went on the ski trip. You know, he's

00:27:11.720 not teaching. Yeah, we've got the ultimate Frisbee thing.

00:27:14.840 I think he was like a buddy.

00:27:17.360 Yeah.

00:27:17.820 He was like a friendly buddy who was always up for a gag. Blackface several times. There's 0.99

00:27:24.440 the official blackface at the Aladdin dinner, even though Aladdin in the story is not black.

00:27:30.840 Right.

00:27:33.980 Blackface on the Frisbee team, always a costume. Even when it's not costume time, he'll wear the kilt. 1.00

00:27:43.460 I didn't know he didn't actually have a class. That's sort of sad.

00:27:48.100 Well, and he claims that he was a math teacher, but he's not listed at all on the math. Oh,

00:27:53.580 here he is. He taught senior newspaper. So that's, again...

00:27:56.720 Teaching newspaper, teaching yearbook, those are things.

00:27:59.320 They're electives, yeah.

00:28:00.380 Those are clubs.

00:28:01.260 Yeah.

00:28:01.500 Like when I was in high school, I was in the newspaper club. I was not on the yearbook club,

00:28:05.620 but those are clubs. That's not something that you teach. That's not a scholarly endeavor. That's

00:28:11.680 the fun stuff you do at lunch or after school.

00:28:14.140 Right. And there is a page. I don't have it marked, but it's for the math at the school,

00:28:20.000 and it doesn't show Dustin Trudeau. So as best I can tell, he was not involved whatsoever with the

00:28:26.300 math. So I don't know. Everyone's digging into Andrew Scheer's past as an insurance broker to

00:28:30.840 find out whether or not he was actually properly licensed or whatever. And Trudeau claims that he

00:28:34.920 was a teacher. Again, just flipping through these yearbook photos, Ezra, there's no mention of him

00:28:39.880 teaching math. There's no mention of him teaching pre-law, which he's also said that he did.

00:28:43.460 Pre-law.

00:28:44.120 I don't even think that that's a course in high school. And no one's digging into his past to

00:28:51.300 question his credentials and say that he wasn't really a teacher, definitely not a math teacher

00:28:56.160 at this school anyway.

00:28:58.220 Yeah. You know, the most interesting thing about the whole blackface story, there were two 1.00

00:29:02.820 interesting things about it in my mind. First, it was broken by Time Magazine, a foreign media that's

00:29:07.940 not on the Unifor Union, not on the payroll. So they're independent. Maybe that's why.

00:29:14.120 They broke the story. But then, after they broke the story, instead of all the media sending

00:29:19.460 a dozen reporters out to West Point Grey to dig up what you've just dug up, they sent

00:29:25.440 them after the guy who handed the yearbook to Time.

00:29:28.540 Right.

00:29:29.040 The Globe and Mail put literally five reporters, and the CBC put also five reporters to say,

00:29:34.800 who was the guy who blew the whistle, who leaked it? The CBC, they called it a leak. It's

00:29:40.420 not a leak. It's right here in a public yearbook.

00:29:42.560 Right.

00:29:43.560 The Globe and Mail and the CBC were more interested in who the hell said this than they were about

00:29:48.500 doing the journalism.

00:29:49.560 Right. Who embarrassed Canada by bringing up the past of our prime minister? I mean, it

00:29:53.740 was the prime minister himself who made the decision to paint his skin like a racist and

00:29:58.120 prance around, be pictured in the yearbook. That wasn't the person who had one of these

00:30:03.900 yearbooks. And I'll be honest, I'd heard rumors that there was a picture of Justin Trudeau wearing

00:30:09.340 blackface. I'd heard rumors for years about it, and I was just unable to find it. And

00:30:15.280 so, it's not like it was something that just kind of came out of left field. People talked

00:30:19.680 about it. They knew that it existed. You know, 500 people were at the gala where he wore that

00:30:24.780 ridiculous costume. That kind of stuff gets around and people remember it. So, again, you're 0.94

00:30:30.280 right. The fact that the CBC put more questions to the person who made this picture public

00:30:35.040 as opposed to the actual individual who did it, you know, they let it slide. And right

00:30:40.520 after it happened, Ezra, a bunch of media companies went out and started talking to people, found

00:30:46.020 people who were quickly willing to forgive Trudeau to say, oh, it's no big deal. And

00:30:49.520 they just played that over and over. Canadians saying, oh, it's no big deal. Oh, it happened

00:30:53.280 20 years ago. Oh, he was a kid. And it made people think, yeah, you know, it's not that

00:30:58.520 big of a deal. It was the liberals who their entire campaign strategy was to dig up dirt 0.99

00:31:03.380 on conservatives, things that they had tweeted, things that they had said 10, 15 years ago.

00:31:07.760 And then, you know, this picture really just kind of backfired against the liberals. It made

00:31:12.540 it so that they couldn't really do their strategy anymore, which was trying to dig up dirt on 0.98

00:31:16.440 conservatives to show how, you know, racist, sexist, homophobic, and anti-Muslim they are. 0.96

00:31:22.560 Yeah, it's incredible. Well, listen, thank you for bringing these artifacts in and showing

00:31:27.320 me them. I've learned more in person with you in the last 10 minutes than I did from reading

00:31:32.160 any issue of the Toronto Star, Globe and Mail, or watching the CBC. It's incredible to me, but

00:31:38.120 I salute you and True North. And it's no surprise that your reporter was harassed because you guys

00:31:46.320 ask questions that you're not supposed to, which is frankly part of the job of a journalist.

00:31:50.080 Absolutely. And, you know, it's not going to stop us. Trudeau stopping Andrew Lawton from

00:31:53.800 getting on the bus is not going to stop us from reporting. We're going to continue to expose

00:31:57.100 things about Trudeau, things about the liberals throughout the rest of the campaign.

00:32:00.400 Yeah. Well, it's great to have you here. Good to see you. Keep up the fight. The campaign

00:32:03.600 still is a couple of weeks to go. I look forward to your reporting on this and on the subjects.

00:32:07.580 Great. Thanks so much.

00:32:08.280 All right. There you have it. Our friend Candace Malcolm, she's the editor-in-chief of True North,

00:32:13.060 which you can find. I usually say tnc.news. That's their website. And, of course, our good

00:32:19.520 friend Andrew Lawton works there along with other friends of the channel, including Anthony

00:32:24.980 Fury. Stay with us. More ahead on the reddit.

00:32:36.020 Hey, folks. On my monologue yesterday, Liz writes,

00:32:38.780 Regardless of the event, I would prefer for journalists to be allowed to get a question

00:32:42.680 in if they can. This is election time, weeks before voting day. It is imperative that the

00:32:47.120 press have access to politicians and that they get to ask whatever they bloody well want.

00:32:51.200 Yeah. Well, not just that. But as I said about Andrew Scheer, if you can't handle David Menzies,

00:32:56.840 the menzoid, if you can't handle the menzoid, you're not ready to handle negotiating with 0.99

00:33:03.700 provincial premiers, negotiating with public sector unions, negotiating with Donald Trump,

00:33:11.180 a trade deal, or Xi Jinping, or Vladimir Putin. If you can't handle a tough question that you

00:33:20.260 probably have been briefed on, and then if not, you should be able to answer anyways,

00:33:24.020 if you can't handle David Menzies, you're not ready to be prime minister of a G7 country.

00:33:28.200 Edward writes, I am so glad Ezra had kept the copy of the video, which easily debunks the assertion

00:33:35.360 that this was a private event, and anyone with an open and fair mind can easily see

00:33:39.140 Scheer saying his events, plural, are open to everyone. Yeah. Speaking of that, it was at a

00:33:47.460 Legion Hall. I think it was in Halifax. And Andrew Scheer was specifically asked by a young student,

00:33:53.840 will you let the rebel in? And her question got applause. Remember that? So Andrew Scheer pandered

00:33:59.720 the applause to the young girl. Imagine telling that young girl, no. I mean, he would lose her

00:34:04.900 heart forever and everyone in the room. So he pandered under the slightest of pressure. It's

00:34:09.240 like when he was on TV with Evan Solomon. Evan Solomon said, will you do what the UN says?

00:34:13.680 I'm feeling momentarily uncomfortable, so I'll say yes. A 14-year-old schoolgirl says,

00:34:19.580 will you let the rebel in your event? There's a lot of clapping in the Legion. So Andrew Scheer says,

00:34:23.600 oh, there's no way I can say no to this 14-year-old schoolgirl, so I'll say yes. 0.66

00:34:28.180 How about just tell the truth? How about say what you believe? If you want to let the rebel

00:34:32.100 in, how about say that? If you don't, how about say that? I think you should have a good reason

00:34:36.660 why not to. It's not very conservative why not to. That's just embarrassing.

00:34:41.400 Uncle Bob writes, your last clip last night of Wendy reminded me a singular incident where a

00:34:46.720 rebel reporter on her own participates in an extremist website is immediately dismissed.

00:34:51.620 And now the entire rebel news is considered racist and white supremacist, whereas the CBC

00:34:56.620 had a star interviewer who beat up multiple women known to management but prevaricated in

00:35:02.280 firing him. And the state broadcaster is not considered misogynist and anti-feminist, which

00:35:06.940 they certainly are not. But according to their standards, they must be. Yeah, that's a great

00:35:11.940 point. I mean, I remember the very minute when Faith Goldie disclosed to me what she had kept

00:35:18.700 secret to me. A reporter had learned of the fact that she went on this neo-Nazi podcast. Obviously, 0.94

00:35:25.100 I didn't know about that. Faith didn't tell me, I don't follow neo-Nazi podcasts. Faith showed me

00:35:29.900 on her phone an email from a reporter. And I remember the moments. It was a 15-second

00:35:35.600 conversation. She said, I think I have to resign. I said, no, I'm going to fire you. And that's all it

00:35:43.780 was. I said, come to the boardroom and you can say your goodbyes to the staff. And she was out of the

00:35:48.380 office in five minutes. Whereas Gian Gomeschi, everyone at the CBC knew exactly who he was and

00:35:57.300 what he was doing. And they either turned a blind eye or actively covered up and tried to discredit

00:36:02.820 the accusers because he was their star. That is something they should have to live with because they

00:36:09.820 abided it. On my interview with Tommy Robinson, Jan writes, Tommy Robinson is destined to do greater

00:36:16.440 things. Now people will start putting the pieces together with what's happening with Boris and

00:36:20.280 realize that not only was Tommy right, they were wrong about him. Absolutely brilliant to create

00:36:24.460 this thing. Jan, I'm not as sanguine as you are because Tommy has been debarked. He does have a very

00:36:34.400 restricted YouTube channel left and he's got that website tr.news, but he's kicked off Twitter,

00:36:38.860 kicked off Facebook, kicked off most social media, kicked off PayPal even. So he can fight. Although

00:36:45.240 as you heard him say, he needs a little bit of time to get his feet under him. But he used to have

00:36:50.580 direct access to a million people and now he doesn't. I think they've hobbled him. Look, we support

00:36:57.100 his freedom and we find him very interested and we'll keep reporting on him. But it's not the same as

00:37:01.520 him having his own voice. Well, that's the show for today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us at

00:37:07.620 Rebel World headquarters, to you at home, good night and keep fighting for freedom.
