Welcome back to another Stand on Guard. Stay tuned, we've got some breaking news from
00:00:05.220
leader of the opposition, conservative party leader Pierre Paulyev. He posted a statement
00:00:12.340
today on X, which is formerly known as Twitter, which I think you're going to find very interesting.
00:00:19.940
So we are in a very precarious position in this country. We need political change, but
00:00:39.380
Well, welcome back to another Stand on Guard Take 5. I'm your host, David Creighton, talking
00:00:44.980
very fast today, full of energy, just back from another trial. Day 13 of what I call the
00:00:53.580
Freedom Trial. Why is it the Freedom Trial? Because our freedom is on trial, as well as
00:00:59.120
that of the Freedom Convoy and Tamara Leach and Chris Barber. It's their trial, but in a larger
00:01:06.700
context, our freedom of speech, our freedom of assembly, our freedom to protest is also
00:01:12.820
on trial. And you know what? This thing is just getting bogged down in minutiae, verbiage,
00:01:21.820
in witnesses who don't know why they're there. It's really incredible to watch. It's hard to
00:01:28.020
relate how silly this trial has become. In fact, I mean, today we were expecting a ruling from the
00:01:36.680
judge and whether or not the eight prosecution witnesses will appear someday, maybe next week.
00:01:44.020
No, not next week. We're coming back on October the 11th. But when the trial resumes in October,
00:01:49.640
will these eight witnesses appear? Well, the judge is going to make a decision between now and September
00:01:54.500
29th. The judge has been quite good, so I'm not casting any aspersion on the judge. She's been very
00:02:00.160
fair. However, the prosecution never seems to have its ducks in order, never seems to know
00:02:06.820
what it's doing. It brings witnesses to the stand who aren't even sure why they're there. I've mentioned
00:02:13.060
this earlier, like this emergency preparedness general manager from the city of Ottawa thought
00:02:18.020
he was there to talk about his job description. It's really quite something to see. And the former
00:02:24.580
chief of staff to the mayor of Ottawa, Jim Watson, who has retired since he went crazy over the freedom
00:02:35.040
convoy, wasn't sure why he was there either. None of them had notes with them. They all had to sort of
00:02:42.140
borrow some notes off of the prosecution. And it's really quite something to see. However, Serge Arpine
00:02:49.900
did admit today, or at least he agreed with the words of defense counsel Lawrence Greenspan, who said,
00:02:59.020
the reason you had this weird bylaw in Ottawa that made it technically illegal to start to idle your
00:03:08.840
engine, for truckers to idle their engines, unless the temperature dropped below minus 15 degrees Celsius,
00:03:16.160
is that you wanted to freeze them out. And he says, well, that sounds like a logical outcome of what
00:03:22.620
that kind of bylaw would do. So he, you know, they were admitting that they passed the bylaw,
00:03:28.300
which was just trying to freeze people in their trucks. The previous bylaw Greenspan pointed out
00:03:34.360
was, I think, five degrees was the threshold. You could start, you could idle your truck on the streets
00:03:40.920
if the temperature dropped below five degrees Celsius. So they added like 20 degrees to this.
00:03:48.620
So we had to wait till it hit minus 15. Now that's pretty damn cold when you're sitting in your truck
00:03:55.920
and you've got kids and family with you. And Greenspan pointed that out today. Now I asked Greenspan after
00:04:05.100
the trial, you know, I said, how, how is this going? And he looks very exasperated. You know, he said, slowly.
00:04:17.160
And he, he, he said, we're not even close to reaching first base. This was supposed to be a 16 day trial,
00:04:26.180
16 days. We are on day 13. As I said, we have recessed for a couple of weeks. We're back on October
00:04:33.800
the 11th. This trial could well go into November. Okay. We might be celebrating the anniversary of the
00:04:43.980
emergencies inquiry, uh, emergency act inquiry, which was going on last November. This is how ridiculous
00:04:51.140
this is. And once again, these people are charged with very, very basic crimes, you know, like
00:05:03.500
mischief, inciting mischief, uh, obstructing the police. These are all things that are highly debatable.
00:05:12.140
And the prosecution is going to have a very difficult time making any of this stick, but
00:05:20.900
they're going to try anyway. And none of the evidence I've seen so far remotely suggests
00:05:28.180
that these two people are guilty of these crimes, that they were doing anything, but peacefully
00:05:36.020
protesting and encouraging everybody who was there as part of the convoy to,
00:05:42.140
who was there supporting, who was there protesting to do anything but peacefully protest.
00:05:49.020
I see no incitement. I see no incitement to mischief. I see no mischief. However, they were charged.
00:05:57.160
That's the law. But this is amounting to be a monumental waste of time and a embarrassment as we
00:06:06.920
continue to continue to show the world just how totalitarian Canada can be.
00:06:13.800
You want to say authoritarian? Okay. Maybe totalitarian is a bit of a stretch, but we're
00:06:19.720
getting there. We're not only that, we just look inept right now because of all the crap that Trudeau
00:06:25.000
caused with India, making stupid accusations and alienating the second largest country in the world,
00:06:32.540
population-wise. A member of the Commonwealth, a country we've always had ties with. Lots of
00:06:39.100
Indians have come to Canada to emigrate. India is a democratic country. It holds fair elections and free
00:06:49.340
elections. It has lots of the same traditions as Canada. However, Trudeau just decided to throw it all
00:06:58.060
to the wind because of his ego because he felt slighted by India. And so Canada looks really
00:07:03.980
stupid right now on the world stage. Really stupid. And the Freedom Convoy trial is not helping.
00:07:12.540
But we're going to keep reporting about this because even though it's an embarrassment for Canada,
00:07:16.620
it's an embarrassment for Justin Trudeau. Because he's the one that could have solved this
00:07:23.020
by simply meeting with the convoy people. And what did he do? He took out. He fled Ottawa. But not
00:07:34.220
before he had a little news conference and he labeled them all as a fringe element.
00:07:39.660
Yes, there is a small fringe element in this country that is angry,
00:07:46.700
that doesn't believe in science, that is lashing out with racist, misogynistic attacks.
00:08:02.380
But Canadians, the vast majority of Canadians, are not represented by them.
00:08:08.940
And I know, will not allow those voices, those special interest groups, those protesters who can,
00:08:20.860
I don't even want to call them protesters, those anti-vaxxer mobs, to dictate how this country gets
00:08:31.180
Racist and misogynist, which is exactly what Justin Trudeau has become. He's become part of a
00:08:38.220
fringe element, an extremist voice that supports a lot of crazy policies from medically assisted
00:08:47.420
suicide to gender ideology. He's the one that had a lifetime of misogyny and racism.
00:08:56.540
He can't escape the fact he loved to perform blackface and he can't escape his contempt he's had
00:09:03.100
for women over the years, especially those who served with him in politics,
00:09:06.940
throws them under the bus and can be very verbally abusive. At least one liberal MP has talked about that.
00:09:17.740
So it's embarrassing Trudeau, so let it continue. But I tell you, I believe Tamara Leach and Chris
00:09:24.460
Barber will be vindicated and acquitted. I believe that. Could be wrong. I don't know.
00:09:31.100
But I do believe they will be because I think they've got a better case. Now, somebody close to the
00:09:40.060
defense was mentioning today that they do think
00:09:42.700
I think this trial often looks like it's off the rails. It often looks like the
00:09:52.620
But you know what? This individual didn't have to tell me that it's obvious to everybody who's there.
00:10:00.700
And it's going to continue that way. So this will be day 13. We won't have a day 14 for like I say, until
00:10:08.540
October 11th. That's quite a few days away. In the meantime,
00:10:12.540
keep hoping and praying for your country. That other things are coming to the fore that we need to fight just as strongly.
00:10:26.300
Okay, this is just breaking. And a lot of people tell you this news is breaking these days. But this really is okay.
00:10:33.660
And so it's a post from Pierre Polyev, leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.
00:10:40.780
And of course, a lot of people were disappointed when Mr. Polyev did not appear at the Million March for Children.
00:10:51.580
In Ottawa, he was not too far away at the House of Commons. He could have walked down.
00:10:57.340
We had Maxime Bernier, the People's Party of Canada. And we had Rod Taylor of the Christian Heritage Party.
00:11:02.300
Did show up. We didn't really expect Jagmeet Singh or Justin Trudeau to come down.
00:11:10.140
Jagmeet Singh came down for the other side. Yeah, he waved some Marxist flags and showed his true colors.
00:11:16.860
And actually tried to intimidate the organizer of the march, the Million Persons march.
00:11:29.820
But Pierre Polyev, a lot of people said, why wasn't Pierre here today?
00:11:33.820
Pierre has just tweeted today. Well, it should say posted, excuse me, on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
00:11:41.660
And he said, Justin Trudeau always divides to distract from all he has broken.
00:11:52.220
Parents should be the final authority on the values and lessons that are taught to children.
00:12:12.380
Yes, the state should not be raising our children.
00:12:15.740
No, Justin Trudeau is talking like a fascist when he says the state should be raising our children.
00:12:22.540
Parents need to raise our children. That's what's good for democracy.
00:12:26.940
That's what we've done for thousands of years in Western civilization and all civilizations.
00:12:33.180
Any place where the state raises children becomes a dictatorship.
00:12:38.860
So I always say I'm in no politician's pocket and I'm not.
00:12:44.780
But when a politician stands up for the right thing, stands up for principle,
00:12:50.620
even though there's going to be some flack over this, there's going to be opposition,
00:12:55.340
he's going to probably be called transphobic for this, even though it's got nothing to do with that at all.
00:13:03.180
Thank you, Pierre Polyev, for standing up for what's right and for principle.
00:13:11.900
Trudeau's Online Information Act is the third part of his internet censorship trilogy legislation.
00:13:20.140
He wants to ban disinformation from the internet without defining it.
00:13:25.740
And they have very good reason for not defining it.
00:13:28.460
And that reason is it's easier to prosecute people if there's no clear definition.
00:13:35.500
And that's what his justice ministry wants to do.
00:13:37.340
And expect that legislation to be introduced in the fall, which we began, the fall session began this week.
00:13:44.800
Expect that legislation to be coming up in the next month or so through the Heritage Department again.
00:13:56.840
If it's passed, a subsequent government, probably conservative, must repeal it for the sake of freedom in this country.
00:14:18.620
Because I tell you, I think we've got something here that people need to hear.
00:14:24.360
I'm not just playing clips every day that somebody else did.
00:14:28.240
I'm not just telling you what I read in the newspaper.
00:14:42.860
And I tell you what, so we can get past Trudeau's internet censorship, please ring that bell so we can notify you of every broadcast.
00:14:59.180
I saw so many people this week at the Freedom Convoy trial and at the Million Person March who are watching this station and who are reading my articles.
00:15:12.400
Thank you for talking about the issues that are so important.
00:15:26.540
But you can play a part in opposing Justin Trudeau's government and Justin Trudeau's plans for Canada.
00:15:36.720
You can become a part of the Creighton's right resistance.
00:15:39.980
Now, I urge you today, please support this station in any way you can.
00:15:47.320
Ring that bell, subscribe, because that ensures you're at least going to continue to be able to watch these episodes.
00:15:56.520
But more importantly, I need your financial support.
00:16:03.460
Look, I made a decision to pursue independent media because I believe it was the best possible route for me to take as a journalist and as a concerned citizen of Canada.
00:16:19.040
And at only $5, you can become a part of that on YouTube, on Substack, and with buying me a copy, a one-time donation.
00:16:33.020
If you've already done that, if you're already supporting this station, thank you.
