00:01:29.560
david nana yeah and i don't because it's not something i've ever had to do as a as a working
00:01:35.840
journalist as an air force officer i never really had to raise money but i've got to do it now because
00:01:40.640
i tell you and that's really what we're talking about today is that what can happen to people like
00:01:48.580
myself independent news broadcasters who are doing this and justin trudeau and his liberal government
00:01:54.580
are out to get us and while i'm reminding you that please hit that subscribe button hit that bell ring
00:02:01.240
the bell because if you do that we're beating trudeau's censorship and that's what we're talking
00:02:06.520
about today you remember bill c11 the online streaming act remember that and it was all about canadian
00:02:13.920
content and and how it was going to make oh we're going to ensure that we're going to read canadian
00:02:19.920
news the rest of our lives well the crtc you know canadian radio television telecommunications
00:02:25.600
commission now yes i remembered they came out on friday with a declaration of that they are going to
00:02:33.600
start producing an online news registry but don't worry folks if you're not making 10 million dollars a year
00:02:42.960
you won't have to register by the november 28th deadline however folks when you read when you read
00:02:54.320
the information it appears very tenuous that this threshold as they like to call it is in fact going to
00:03:04.160
stay very much of a threshold and i'm very concerned about what's going on here because i believe
00:03:11.240
we are seeing the beginning of a massive online registration on part of what the cretchen government
00:03:20.220
did with the long gun registry this is all about seeing who is out there broadcasting nasty things
00:03:29.120
about justin trudeau and the trudeau government the crtc is supposed to be a regulatory agency an arm's
00:03:36.280
length from the government but it's clearly pushing and promoting the liberal policies here it's creating
00:03:43.080
an online news registry and that that has not been lost by a lot of journalists and commentators around
00:03:49.740
the world and i encourage you to read my piece in the postmillennial today could be up by now and
00:03:57.340
we explain a bit more of it there but michael geist fantastic professor of law at the university of
00:04:04.280
ottawa is studying this problem comprehensively and he has put an excellent piece out in substactivity
00:04:10.760
it's michael geist i encourage you to read that have a look at what he's saying because this is all about
00:04:17.320
the survivability of independent news newscasters broadcasters exactly what i'm doing am i concerned
00:04:27.200
of course i'm concerned i don't come on here and tell you lies there's no misinformation disinformation
00:04:33.860
here i don't use clickbait so you'll come to the station by telling you every week that justin trudeau
00:04:40.320
is resigning or justin trudeau is out of here i say he should resign but i'm under no illusion he's
00:04:46.740
going to do that especially when he's getting no pressure to do so from the conservative opposition
00:04:52.060
they were still looking for an apology from trudeau not a resignation over this nazi waffen ss fiasco
00:05:00.100
which remains front and center and we're going to continue to talk about that this week there's
00:05:05.860
fresh information about that but in terms of internet censorship c11 is coming to pass exactly as we
00:05:13.640
predicted it is going to be a means a mechanism to control the internet to ensure that people are
00:05:21.100
not allowed to say what they want to say to produce the news they want to produce it's not just about
00:05:27.100
canadian content but if it was just about canadian content i wouldn't worry 90 of my material
00:05:32.440
is canadian content i'm not worried about that i cover the parliament hill i cover the federal
00:05:38.400
government largely sometimes provincial news sometimes municipal news sometimes u.s news
00:05:43.800
but 75 to 90 percent of the time it's federal canadian news so i'm not concerned about that i am
00:05:51.040
concerned about internet censorship because there's worse coming with bill a bill coming that hasn't
00:05:56.240
been named yet but pre in its previous incarnation and they tried to get it through the first time
00:06:02.320
it was called the online safety act and guess what that bill has just passed same bill same name
00:06:09.740
same effects same objectives which is to silence independent media by saying hey we don't like
00:06:17.520
your news we're going to call it mail information they're actually using that word in britain call it
00:06:22.880
misinformation call it disinformation call it whatever you want but it's what the government says
00:06:27.760
they're going to ban they're going to prosecute they're going to stop they're going to censor and
00:06:33.020
that's what this next bill is going to be about it's going to be about shutting down people who
00:06:39.720
disagree with the trudeau government and that's coming and we have got to stop it we've got to get
00:06:44.900
rid of trudeau before this bill comes into effect it's going to be more difficult to repeal than it is
00:06:51.000
simply to stop it before it happens and we need people to be educated about this we need people to know
00:06:57.060
what's happening they have had study groups for a year looking at this bill and how they're going
00:07:02.780
to sell it and they've already decided and i've mentioned this before but i gotta mention it again
00:07:07.740
they've already decided they will not define this information in this bill because that will make it too
00:07:14.220
hard to prosecute people so what will disinformation be whatever justin trudeau and his minions say it means
00:07:25.260
i am going to stick to a short broadcast today we're going to go back to parliament hill tomorrow
00:07:31.940
for question period the trial is on hold this week a freedom trial as i've been calling it freedom
00:07:39.200
freedom convoy leaders tamara leach and chris barber it's on hold till october the 11th we'll be back
00:07:46.240
there covering it and back there broadcasting after the trial but it's on hold for a week another week
00:07:52.520
till after thanksgiving and we're going to be covering a lot of different angles this week
00:07:57.540
and i'm going to hoping the broadcasters to put every day about these things so thanks for listening
00:08:02.200
today once again i need your support you can support this station and i appreciate it and those people
00:08:10.760
who have donated in a large way thank you thank you so much it's appreciated and it's appreciated
00:08:17.640
on the bottom of my heart because i tell you i couldn't do this without your support and we need
00:08:24.240
the station to grow not decline because we're going to tell justin trudeau where he can put his
00:08:29.360
censorship bills and that's our main thrust this fall is to maintain freedom of speech because if we
00:08:36.940
lose freedom of speech we lose our democracy we lose our canada we have very little left he's already
00:08:46.620
tried to destroy freedom of assembly and freedom of protest basically the same thing with the freedom
00:08:53.840
convoy and putting people on trial for doing absolutely nothing except peaceful protesting
00:09:00.240
that's all for me today i'll be back again tomorrow i'll see you here for question period
00:09:06.120
at around two o'clock don't miss it there will be some witty and insightful analysis thanks again for
00:09:13.140
