00:00:00.460 Welcome back to another episode of Stand on Guard. I'm your host David Creighton. Welcome to Saturday, October 12th, 2024.
00:00:11.060 Hey, the world hasn't blown itself up yet. Justin Trudeau, of course, spent the week globetrotting, burning up fossil fuels like he always says he doesn't want you to do.
00:00:21.680 Trying to avoid those conservatives and their paralyzing parliament. But he should have been watching out for his own MPs because they've got the knives out when we come back a bit.
00:00:35.960 So we are in a very precarious position in this country. We need political change, but we also need to resolve to resist.
00:00:51.680 Yeah, so Sasha always demonstrates, please like this show right now. It really does help us get over that bubble, that bump imposed by YouTube.
00:01:08.260 You can believe it, last night, like a show that's four days old, they decided was limited monetization because advertisers might not like you suggesting the Trudeau's in trouble.
00:01:19.880 Excuse me? How many stations out there do nothing but advertise Trudeau in trouble and just constantly, constantly are about him being berated by protesters and being called names.
00:01:36.000 And I'm being, you know, I'm being told I'm being held to account because I say Trudeau is in trouble with his caucus and he silenced.
00:01:45.900 It really got them mad. I said he silenced Pierre Polyev because Polyev had the audacity to suggest Melanie Jolie, our foreign affairs minister, was somehow playing both sides of the street when it came to the Middle East because of her constituency.
00:02:05.800 She had to get the votes from both sides. And she admitted that.
00:02:10.980 And so they kicked Polyev over that. Anyway, I got in trouble over that. I couldn't believe it.
00:02:16.300 So I have challenged it. We'll see what happens.
00:02:21.200 So what's happening with Justin Trudeau? Yes, apparently, you know, when the Toronto Star publishes something, not your usual rabble rousers.
00:02:29.800 This is El Theorat, who, of course, is very close to the Liberals.
00:02:35.200 The Toronto Star is always very close to the Liberal Party and to the any Liberal Prime Minister.
00:02:41.060 They always endorse Liberal Prime Ministers.
00:02:44.840 In fact, I don't think there's been a single time I might be wrong.
00:02:48.440 There might be one exception where the Toronto Star did not endorse a Liberal, the Liberal Party and its leader during a federal election.
00:02:56.260 But I'd be very surprised if I was wrong.
00:03:00.480 Something is nagging me saying they did it once anyway.
00:03:03.560 But here's an opinion of these saying that, yeah, there's discontent in the ranks.
00:03:09.960 Well, we know how serious is it?
00:03:12.140 Oh, I found this to be even more interesting.
00:03:14.660 The CBC, some Liberal MPs are mounting a new effort to oust Justin Trudeau.
00:03:21.220 Now, I'm going to read briefly from this article because it's quite...
00:03:24.260 Pressure is building on the Prime Minister in his office as a growing number of anxious Liberal MPs are coordinating efforts to force Justin Trudeau to step down as Liberal Party leader.
00:03:35.520 Multiple sources have told the CBC.
00:03:39.320 Disgruntled Liberal MPs held a series of meetings to discuss a path forward for the party since the surprising Toronto St. Paul's by-election loss in June.
00:03:49.060 These talks accelerated with Parliament's return and the Montreal by-election loss.
00:03:54.900 If you recall, we reported on that one.
00:03:58.120 That was David Lamenti's old writing, the former Justice Minister that went to the block of all things.
00:04:03.300 They escalated further this week with the Prime Minister and his Chief of Staff, Katie Telford, out of the country for a summit in Asia.
00:04:12.640 Yeah, he was in Laos, believe it or not.
00:04:16.000 You know, I was just watching Dr. Strangelove last night, the great Stanley Kubrick black comedy.
00:04:23.160 And I have to confess, that's a movie I could never watch when I was in the military because I thought it was just some left-wing film that was anti-military.
00:04:33.460 And I realize now that it's more about the military-industrial complex and the lunatics who will stop at nothing to have a nuclear war.
00:04:40.580 And they're more powerful today than they were in 1964 when that movie was released because we're on the verge of a nuclear war with Israel and the surrounding area, the Middle East, and we're on the verge of a nuclear war in Ukraine.
00:04:55.180 It could literally ignite any day if the right set of circumstances happened, just like in June 1914, June 28, 1914, when the Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated by Serbian terrorists.
00:05:10.580 That was just the right set of circumstances that ignited the First World War, as it was called then, the Great War.
00:05:18.620 Nobody thought there'd be a second one, let alone a third, but we're on the verge of that.
00:05:23.600 But this show is not about that.
00:05:25.040 But I never cease to say we've got to be worried about that possibility because our political leaders are completely oblivious to the threat of nuclear war right now.
00:05:41.060 They seem to think that when the Cold War ended, about 30 years ago now, that possibility of nuclear war went out the window with it.
00:05:50.320 But it's actually a greater threat today. 1.00
00:05:53.280 And these idiots like Trudeau and Biden and Kamala Harris, did I say it right? 1.00
00:05:58.980 They are bringing us closer to nuclear war than we ever were in the 1960s. 1.00
00:06:05.480 Just look at the nuclear clock.
00:06:07.960 You know, this is established.
00:06:09.680 This was established by a group of scientists, objective scientists, to gauge how close we were to nuclear war.
00:06:18.420 Now, I think they are objective because they had it pretty close during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
00:06:22.840 They've got it even closer now in 2024, October 2024.
00:06:27.680 It's closer to midnight than it's ever been because they can see it because they're not trying to package world affairs in a political wrapping.
00:06:40.700 And that's what Justin Trudeau is doing.
00:06:42.300 So anyway, I'll read a bit more of this.
00:06:44.120 But this is absolutely fascinating.
00:06:45.940 Some MPs are being asked to sign their names to what amounts to a pledge to stand together in calling for Trudeau to resign.
00:06:53.620 Multiple sources.
00:06:55.000 There we go again.
00:06:57.560 The document isn't a letter to be circulated.
00:07:00.200 Sources described it as a vehicle to secure a commitment from MPs to seek a leadership change and to bind the MPs to that goal if the prime ministers and his supporters push back.
00:07:12.800 Of course they will.
00:07:13.480 So, Trudeau has no desire to leave right now.
00:07:17.440 MPs were pulled into meetings across Parliament Hill this week to sign on to the demand for a change at the top.
00:07:22.360 So this is what Trudeau is coming home to.
00:07:25.840 This is what Trudeau is coming back to Canada for.
00:07:29.380 Multiple sources, I think it's multiple sources, told CBC News that MPs have been signing a single document that is being tightly controlled.
00:07:38.120 No photos or copies of it are being circulated.
00:07:42.220 It's pretty hard in this day and age if somebody's not going to whip out their phone surreptitiously and grab a shot of that.
00:07:49.660 Very easy to do.
00:07:51.540 All the sources, these multiple sources, spoke to CBC News on the condition that they not be named due to the sensitivity of the internal discussions.
00:08:00.220 When you have the knives out, it's very sensitive, yes.
00:08:03.680 These sources said at least 20 MPs have signed the document so far with others voicing their support for the cause,
00:08:09.500 wondering if they're going to get politically slaughtered in the process or not.
00:08:13.740 One MP who signed the document told CBC News that the number of MPs signing the signature has spilled onto a second page.
00:08:22.900 So, they've got two pages going here now.
00:08:30.060 So, that's about it.
00:08:32.780 I could read the whole article, but you can read it yourself if you are so, if you're interested.
00:08:41.380 I'm sure you are.
00:08:42.200 It's available online and it is quite interesting.
00:08:47.340 And I think it indicates what I've been saying for the last few months.
00:08:51.540 Trudeau is very near being turfed by his own caucus.
00:08:57.140 And there's no mechanism, of course.
00:09:00.940 This is something I confirmed again this morning.
00:09:03.080 There's no mechanism in the Liberal Party that Trudeau has to go to a leadership review or has to have a leadership vote.
00:09:14.920 Even if all of his MPs or even a majority of his MPs decide it's time to go.
00:09:23.020 He could stay on indefinitely as long as he can withstand the political pressure.
00:09:29.660 And I guess the media will eventually jump on side too.
00:09:32.600 So, we'll see what happens.
00:09:35.100 Before I get to the other issue here about disinformation.
00:09:40.420 And this is, believe me, a clear and present danger.
00:09:45.200 Here's one of the most underreported stories of the week.
00:09:47.560 I did this article for the Post Millennial.
00:09:49.800 It's actually U.S. News.
00:09:51.080 But this is the Toronto Dominion Bank.
00:09:54.820 Yes, TD.
00:09:56.060 It expanded into the U.S. now about, oh, I guess almost a decade ago.
00:10:01.040 Maybe, maybe more.
00:10:03.700 And of course, it's the 10th largest bank in the United States now.
00:10:07.360 Which is quite saying something.
00:10:10.540 Because there are a lot of very big banks in the United States.
00:10:14.540 You know, we're talking about banks like J.P. Morgan and Chase Manhattan.
00:10:19.140 These are huge banks.
00:10:20.100 So, TD is the 10th largest.
00:10:23.140 And it was just prosecuted and charged by the U.S. Department of Justice.
00:10:29.160 I couldn't believe this because I didn't even know about this story.
00:10:32.400 And you'll see very few outlets in Canada actually reporting this news.
00:10:35.880 It got fined $3 billion for failing to monitor money laundering.
00:10:40.420 And where is the money going?
00:10:42.080 Where is the money in the TD bank being used for?
00:10:45.040 Well, fentanyl sales, which are killing Americans in the millions.
00:10:52.900 Terrorism and human trafficking.
00:10:55.680 And we all know how bad the human trafficking is in the United States at the border.
00:11:02.020 300,000 little children.
00:11:04.960 Gone.
00:11:06.000 Missing.
00:11:06.640 Sold into slavery.
00:11:10.420 If I say that word, I'll get in trouble.
00:11:13.560 But sold into slavery.
00:11:15.140 Of you know what kind.
00:11:17.440 And that's what TD bank wasn't paying any attention to.
00:11:22.260 There's people on there.
00:11:23.760 Organized crime was using the TD bank to launder money.
00:11:27.720 And they didn't even notice.
00:11:30.020 Didn't seem to care.
00:11:32.060 So, the next time the bank tells you they care about you.
00:11:36.020 About your mortgage.
00:11:37.620 About your family.
00:11:39.480 Take that with a grain of salt. 0.96
00:11:41.560 Because it's clear they really don't give a damn.
00:11:43.800 Now, I want to move on to misinformation here.
00:11:46.120 Because one of the best things that could happen.
00:11:51.640 If Justin Trudeau wakes up on Sunday morning and says, hey, you know, this is going to get worse for me unless I do something really drastic here.
00:12:00.800 Now, what's really drastic?
00:12:03.620 Well, you know, he could say I'm resigning.
00:12:06.780 Not going to do that.
00:12:08.060 Not going to do that right now.
00:12:10.660 And what he could do is prorogue parliament.
00:12:12.840 Now, a lot of people are saying it's a done deal.
00:12:14.460 It's not.
00:12:14.980 It's not.
00:12:17.100 Because Trudeau's cronies, the ones in cabinet closest to him, are all saying, not going to happen right now.
00:12:25.420 They're saying that not just publicly, but they're saying that privately.
00:12:28.640 They're saying, no, not going to happen right now.
00:12:32.600 Prorogation is really not where Trudeau is going.
00:12:36.200 It could be as of Sunday.
00:12:37.640 As of tomorrow.
00:12:38.640 As of Monday.
00:12:39.580 It could be where he's going.
00:12:40.780 Things happen that quickly in politics.
00:12:44.940 And I worked on the Hill for eight years.
00:12:47.000 I saw governments.
00:12:48.780 I saw I saw parliaments prorogued by Stephen Harper when I was there, when I was working on the Hill.
00:12:57.080 And it can happen very quickly.
00:12:58.840 The decision can be made literally over lunch.
00:13:02.340 And then the prime minister has to get the endorsement and the approval of the governor general.
00:13:08.520 That will be no problem for Trudeau.
00:13:10.120 With his current governor general, he'll he'll get it stamped right away if he wants it.
00:13:16.320 The question is, does he want it?
00:13:18.200 And it could be the only way out.
00:13:19.940 But I'm telling you.
00:13:22.160 It might be the best thing for all of us who want some legislation killed.
00:13:27.240 I mentioned this yesterday.
00:13:28.280 But I've been mentioning it every time I mention prorogation. 0.99
00:13:32.360 Because the worst piece of legislation in front of the House of Commons right now is Bill C-63, the Online Harms Act, which the conservative party has not only partially embraced because they say they're going to come up with their own version of it, which is stupidity. 0.95
00:13:52.860 We don't need any new versions of Bill C-63. 0.99
00:13:57.520 We need it destroyed, annihilated, eviscerated, gone. 0.54
00:14:05.280 There is no solution other than that. 0.97
00:14:07.900 We don't need Michelle Rempel-Garner to come up with a conservative version, the made in Tory version of Bill C-60. 1.00
00:14:15.860 This is stupidity. 1.00
00:14:17.680 Yeah, I'll call I'll call Polly about for this. 1.00
00:14:20.440 I don't know what the hell he's thinking.
00:14:22.120 He said very little about the bill, except it's going to cost a lot of money to have another layer of bureaucracy to enforce it.
00:14:28.300 But that's that's that's true.
00:14:29.760 It's going to cost a lot of money.
00:14:31.820 But that's not the worst thing about it.
00:14:33.980 Governments spend money like water anyway.
00:14:37.080 They just continue to print money and they they just will spend money.
00:14:41.780 The real problem here is this bill is about taking your freedom of speech away and and making a thought crime possible in Canada.
00:14:50.800 This is a huge step towards dictatorship. 0.97
00:14:55.540 Some of the worst bills in the world have been passed without the thought crimes component, you know, and this Attorney General Verrani, this idiot who keeps getting on his feet in the House of Commons and saying, you know, this is about protecting children. 0.98
00:15:07.360 His bald spot keeps getting larger, if you notice, because of that old Samoan proverb about he who takes away free speech will lose his hair. 0.98
00:15:17.000 And that's exactly what's happening.
00:15:18.920 Right.
00:15:19.860 Yes, I might be kidding about that, but it's also happening, isn't it?
00:15:23.380 It's happening. 0.99
00:15:24.640 We need to kill this bill.
00:15:26.040 And if Trudeau prorogues Parliament, it will be killed, along with another bill.
00:15:31.060 We've mentioned Bill C-239, which is the the bill that will outlaw meat production during pandemics.
00:15:38.920 I'm not kidding.
00:15:39.580 We talked about that about a week ago.
00:15:42.300 That's true.
00:15:43.300 That's coming.
00:15:44.320 That will kill that bill, along with another a lot of other foolish bills that might never have a chance to be born anew because we will have a conservative government.
00:15:54.140 And I cannot see Polly of actually going through his C-63 if he forms a government and the bill dies.
00:16:02.960 I'm having grave difficulty believing he will repeal the bill.
00:16:09.320 Because it's very difficult to repeal bills once they become law, because then you're targeted as, oh, you you don't want to protect children from pornography.
00:16:20.520 You don't want to protect women. 1.00
00:16:22.140 Again, that's why you're killing this bill.
00:16:25.480 And so they'll have an alternative or they won't really repeal it.
00:16:29.360 They might amend it.
00:16:30.820 We need it dead in the water. 0.85
00:16:33.280 That's the only solution here.
00:16:34.800 So I keep saying that, but it's very.
00:16:36.540 Now, listen how MP, every committee that I'm looking at now is talking about misinformation and disinformation.
00:16:42.960 And they're talking about it like everybody thinks this is something we have to stop.
00:16:48.500 It's a it's a motherhood and apple pie issue all of a sudden, except what the hell is it?
00:16:54.400 It's whatever the liberal government decides it is.
00:16:57.020 Misinformation, disinformation is a very flexible term.
00:17:00.480 It's a dangerous term because the definition is up.
00:17:04.320 To those who are making the laws against it, the definition is in the eye of the beholder.
00:17:11.820 So Justin Trudeau says, hey, that's disinformation because I disagree with it.
00:17:17.700 This disinformation and it's subject to the law.
00:17:20.020 Let's watch this nation and misinformation.
00:17:22.640 We've heard several definitions of that over the course of our study.
00:17:27.100 I'm kind of old school.
00:17:28.460 I remember when it used to be known as lying.
00:17:31.440 Now, that's this.
00:17:32.700 This strikes me as really comical.
00:17:34.400 This is a member of parliament saying, well, lying should be outlawed.
00:17:39.140 That would put about 85 percent of the MPs in the in the slammer because politics is all about lying and they do it all the time to us.
00:17:47.980 So what a joke that is.
00:17:49.440 To be quite frank.
00:17:51.480 But you mentioned in the criminal code, there was no distinction between or no identification of disinformation or misinformation in the criminal code.
00:18:01.980 What's the equivalent in the criminal code that police agencies would use for the spreading of lies, et cetera?
00:18:09.480 Is it would it be considered mischief in the criminal code or what would you use to apply that?
00:18:16.840 Now, Danny Baudouin.
00:18:18.480 This guy absolutely kills me.
00:18:21.300 He's incapable of coming up with a complete thought and an answer.
00:18:25.760 It's just not incomplete sentences.
00:18:27.900 They're not even complete thoughts.
00:18:29.240 Like, I'm not sure, like, misinformation in itself is a criminal offense, Mr. Chair.
00:18:34.940 Disagreement that you have.
00:18:36.100 But at least he's got that right.
00:18:38.640 He seems to recognize that misinformation is not a crime.
00:18:41.700 Not yet.
00:18:43.000 But this guy wants to make it a crime.
00:18:46.240 Difference of opinion.
00:18:47.560 Those are the definitions you stated earlier and what we've heard in previous testimony.
00:18:51.760 The biggest difference with Bill C-70 is that if a campaign of disinformation with the purpose to affect government processes, it may become criminal.
00:19:05.140 But what the hell does that mean?
00:19:08.160 If it affects government processes, that makes absolutely no sense.
00:19:14.540 This is what I mean.
00:19:15.020 This guy, okay, he started off fairly well by saying he doesn't think misinformation is a crime yet, Mr. Brassard.
00:19:22.400 But then he says, oh, it could be if it upsets government processes.
00:19:27.360 What the hell?
00:19:28.320 Like, you won't find these terms under the Security of Information Act.
00:19:32.960 They're not defined in there.
00:19:34.400 So I think it may be something for the committee to, as the member alluded, to see if there's value in defining them.
00:19:46.660 But for police services, we're dealing with harassment, we're dealing with intimidation, threats.
00:19:55.080 So this disinformation, if somebody goes through this, but at some point he crosses the path and there's a threat, then all of a sudden, you know, we investigate the threats.
00:20:04.980 But not necessarily the lying, as you called it, that it used to be called, because oftentimes it may not be a crime.
00:20:12.560 Well, that's nice to know it's still not a crime.
00:20:15.820 But of course, that's what Bill C-63 is all about, to make it a crime.
00:20:20.380 And it amazes me how the Conservatives are on the same page as the Liberals with this.
00:20:24.740 They're starting from the premise that misinformation, disinformation is a really bad thing, and we have to outlaw it.
00:20:32.660 And they know damn well who is defining misinformation, disinformation.
00:20:38.600 But they're thinking, oh, it'll be okay when we're the government, because we won't do that.
00:20:43.320 Don't trust any government.
00:20:46.780 With terms like misinformation, disinformation, because they can mean anything they want.
00:20:51.240 It can mean something on Monday and something quite different on Wednesday.
00:20:54.280 And that's the problem with this. 0.97
00:20:55.660 And we need the Conservatives to get off their asses and to have some real vocal opposition to misinformation, disinformation. 0.98
00:21:03.380 Now, Michael Barrett, I love this guy. 0.98
00:21:05.600 He's a fighter.
00:21:06.120 Have you reviewed all of your coverage of Mr. Polyev, or will it be incumbent on Conservatives to have to go through and review historically the disinformation that CTV has perpetrated on Canadians?
00:21:19.900 Or is that something that CTV is going to proactively do?
00:21:25.360 Because I can assure you, sir, that going forward, we know that we now need to do this, not just for ourselves, but for Canadians, because certainly the trust has been broken.
00:21:36.000 I want to give Mr. Grayson a chance to answer that, Mr. Barrett.
00:21:39.000 So, thank you.
00:21:41.340 I disagree with the characterization that we are engaged in a campaign of disinformation with respect to Canadians.
00:21:48.400 It's our job to present all sides of public policy issues in a balanced, accurate, and fair way, so Canadians can make informed decisions on them.
00:21:56.380 That's what we do consistently on a daily basis.
00:21:59.600 This particular issue that happened on September the 22nd was a very rare and unique occurrence.
00:22:05.520 Well, I'd be interested to know how you verified that it was rare if you didn't go back and review all of the other instances of coverage.
00:22:13.660 Yeah, so, this is interesting because CTV actually was guilty of disinformation, but when it actually literally tampered with a recording of peer polio, that's a good example of real disinformation.
00:22:30.080 Now, should people be going to jail for that?
00:22:31.780 No, no, they shouldn't be going to jail for that.
00:22:35.200 I mean, this is, we don't need to criminalize speech.
00:22:37.540 We need to discipline, but we don't need to criminalize speech.
00:22:42.260 And I think what happened here, what Polio did, by exposing CTV, did a hell of a lot more than putting them before some kangaroo court and having them indicted on human rights offenses.
00:22:54.600 But what are these people thinking?
00:22:57.300 What is Justin Trudeau thinking in what he wants misinformation, disinformation outlawed?
00:23:02.340 Well, it's the same thing that former U.S. Senator, former U.S. Secretary of State, former Democratic presidential candidate, John Kerry.
00:23:10.940 Yeah, yeah, the ketchup king.
00:23:13.940 His wife owns Heinz Ketchup.
00:23:16.000 He's also, he was Joe Biden's climate czar.
00:23:19.600 This is the guy who globetrotts on his private jet, burning up fossil fuels, creating a huge carbon footprint, lands and has the hypocrisy to say,
00:23:31.100 you guys have better to start doing different.
00:23:33.420 We better get serious about this climate change stuff.
00:23:35.840 Yeah, he's not serious about anything except lining his pockets.
00:23:40.260 I think the dislike of and anguish over social media is just growing and growing and growing.
00:23:49.620 And it's part of our problem, particularly in democracies, in terms of building consensus around any issue.
00:23:57.560 It's really hard to govern today.
00:23:59.500 You can't, you know, you know, there's no, the referees we used to have to determine what's a fact and what isn't a fact that kind of, you know, been eviscerated to a certain degree.
00:24:10.540 And people go and that people self-select where they go for their news or for their information.
00:24:17.400 And then you just get into a vicious cycle.
00:24:19.340 So it's really, really hard, much harder to build consensus today than at any time in the 45, 50 years I've been involved in this.
00:24:28.140 And, you know, there's a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that you're going to have, you know, some accountability on facts, etc.
00:24:40.260 But look, if people go to only one source and the source they go to is sick.
00:24:46.660 I mean, here's John Kerry and Justin Trudeau is about to say exactly the same thing.
00:24:52.140 Oh, for those days when you didn't have the option of going to social media, when you had to take the word of the three networks,
00:25:01.560 when you only had a couple of national newspapers, when you had your daily newspaper in your city, you had your local newspaper, and there was no variety.
00:25:11.440 Let's go back to those days.
00:25:13.380 Let's put the genie back in the bottom.
00:25:15.420 That's what John Kerry is saying.
00:25:16.860 And that's what Justin Trudeau is about.
00:25:17.960 And, you know, has an agenda and they're putting out disinformation.
00:25:23.400 Our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence.
00:25:30.240 You hear that?
00:25:32.140 The First Amendment, which, of course, is the U.S. guarantee of freedom of speech.
00:25:37.200 John Kerry says, to hell with the First Amendment because it prevents us from stomping out disinformation.
00:25:44.020 It's more important to stomp out disinformation than it is to have free speech.
00:25:47.800 That's how these people think.
00:25:48.600 What you need, what we need, is to win the ground, win the right to govern by hopefully having, you know, winning enough votes that you're free to be able to implement change.
00:26:03.280 That's the big trick and a really, really tricky question right now.
00:26:07.000 Because there is out there a deliberate undermining of mainstream media.
00:26:14.640 There are the conspiracy theorists.
00:26:16.900 There are the social media drivers who are trying to do everything they can to keep people in their little filter bubbles, to prevent people from actually agreeing on a common set of facts the way.
00:26:28.680 You hear that?
00:26:29.220 But he wants us all to agree on a common set of facts as decided by Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party.
00:26:35.640 That's the common set of facts he's talking about here.
00:26:38.080 You know, the CBC and CTV, when they were our only sources of news, you know, used to, used to, and global, used to project across the country at least a common understanding of things.
00:26:49.600 Any government that chooses to step up and say, well, this is the mainstream view, will, if we're not careful, actually compromise those organizations as being mouthpieces for, you know, a mainstream view that people on the fringes are.
00:27:11.940 Exactly.
00:27:13.120 So how do we actually shift that?
00:27:15.840 You hear that?
00:27:19.220 You hear that?
00:27:20.320 This guy says, oh, we'd be accused of being bought and paid for.
00:27:24.300 You are bought and paid for.
00:27:26.240 The mainstream media is bought and paid for by the Trudeau government.
00:27:30.940 Can they not even admit that?
00:27:33.540 Trudeau is giving subsidies to those media who want to accept it, who want to be in the pay of the Trudeau government.
00:27:40.360 They can get their money.
00:27:41.640 In some cases, it's not going to journalists.
00:27:43.640 It's going to the executives as more bonuses.
00:27:47.080 But that's the reality.
00:27:48.440 But you heard Trudeau say, let's go back to a world of CTV, CBC and global and nothing else.
00:27:54.980 So you don't have to have your mind confused by all of these social media outlets, all of these new media, all of these independent media.
00:28:02.740 Don't worry about them.
00:28:04.000 Just watch the news the way it used to be presented.
00:28:07.000 And Justin Trudeau said, I could agree with that.
00:28:10.900 That's the way it should be.
00:28:12.660 So that's what they're thinking.
00:28:14.460 That's what Justin Trudeau is thinking.
00:28:15.540 He wants to go back to these halcyon days, this golden age, pre-internet, pre-social media.
00:28:21.940 Ain't going to happen, folks.
00:28:23.200 But in the meantime, we have to protect ourselves because what Justin Trudeau is trying to do is to annihilate freedom of speech on the Internet.
00:28:31.160 He wants to he wants to completely eviscerate our our freedom of speech on social media to say what we want.
00:28:39.100 And by the way, buy one of these T-shirts and advertise your right to free speech.
00:28:46.420 I am a Canadian, a free Canadian, free to speak as I please.
00:28:51.560 That's the preamble to the 1962 Bill of Rights when all Canadians, regardless of their political affiliation, believed in freedom of speech.
00:29:01.840 That was not an outrageous or a or a controversial comment to make in 1962.
00:29:08.380 It is today because Justin Trudeau doesn't believe you have freedom of speech.
00:29:12.700 He wants you to believe and think and say exactly as he tells you to.
00:29:17.380 And that's where Canada has gone.
00:29:20.120 Thank you for watching today, folks.
00:29:21.860 I really appreciate your support.
00:29:24.400 Let's move this station up. 0.97
00:29:26.700 We're doing that every day.
00:29:28.560 Thank you for your your kind support.
00:29:31.200 I always say that you and for being there for this station.
00:29:34.480 We will be back again tomorrow with all the news you need to know and the information that you need to resolve to resist this Trudeau government.
00:29:48.140 And authoritarianism in general.
00:29:51.760 God bless you and I'll see you tomorrow.
00:29:53.680 God bless you and I'll see you tomorrow.
