The Candice Malcolm Show - Fake News Friday ｜ Media goes quiet as Trudeau dodges mask rules

00:00:00.000 hello everyone and welcome to another edition of made up news monday we don't wait hang on

00:00:18.300 something's not right is it trivial tuesday woke wednesday thursday no uh fake news friday that's

00:00:25.560 it see i was doing the whole fake news thing myself i'm getting my days all mixed up great

00:00:29.760 to have you tuned in to the program i am andrew lawton guest hosting for candace malcolm while she

00:00:35.340 tends to the monumental task of making and nurturing life which we wish her very well on

00:00:40.640 joining me as always is true north producer and host of ratioed harrison faulkner harrison good to

00:00:47.700 talk to you on this fine friday how are you good to talk to you too andrew i understand the uh the

00:00:52.760 confusion and mix-up of the days as we get into the summer months it's uh it's tough to keep everything

00:00:57.920 in line these days yeah i i drove through a tornado yesterday so i'm actually or i guess it was two

00:01:04.820 days ago so i'm particularly twisted up now in my in my thinking more so than usual but some things

00:01:10.760 remain constant and one constant we can always rely on is justin trudeau's hypocrisy and in this

00:01:16.560 particular case he's not even trying he's not even trying this is a picture of a video of justin trudeau

00:01:23.880 doing a photo op in british columbia great to see you great to see you guys of course of course

00:01:31.060 so there he is glad handing meeting people hanging out you may think well what's the big deal well

00:01:40.180 notice anything on their faces because i certainly didn't this is a in okanagan british columbia

00:01:47.820 steam train it's not federally regulated which is relevant because the federal government has mandated

00:01:53.780 masks on all trains you cannot board a train a via rail train from toronto to london or from calgary to

00:02:01.200 uh anywhere else without wearing a mask and the government says this is the science the science

00:02:07.160 says trains are unsafe but when it's a political photo op in okanagan i guess the science is different

00:02:13.920 have you been able to figure out where the science stands on this are masks needed on trains or not

00:02:18.980 harrison well so what i think i've come to realize andrew is that if the train is stationary if it's

00:02:24.820 a steam train if it's one of these sort of tourist trains uh despite the size despite the you know the

00:02:30.760 number of people in it that is when obviously the science tells us you're fine from covid you're safe

00:02:35.540 from covid as soon as that train you know actually becomes properly mobile it actually takes you from

00:02:41.680 one place to the to another from one city to another and it gets federally regulated then of course

00:02:46.360 covid becomes a problem so i think i'm coming to realize this andrew if it's it's two things if

00:02:51.680 it's a if it's a stationary train or it's or it's a touristy kind of stuff then covid won't won't be a

00:02:57.660 problem and covid won't be a problem if the prime minister is there so he kind of has this weird force

00:03:02.080 field he can stop covid wherever he goes uh only however when you and i get on a train andrew uh like

00:03:09.300 when the rest of us get on a train that's when covid becomes a problem so it's slowly starting to make

00:03:13.540 more sense for me uh but again i can understand the confusion from a lot of canadians when they see

00:03:17.780 this when they see the fact that we're the only country uh in what is it in in the western world

00:03:22.980 basically that is holding on to these mask mandates that is holding on to these punitive rules uh it's

00:03:29.160 starting to become a reality that we are just such an outlier in this and the prime minister is so

00:03:35.440 caught up in this mask theater that none of it really makes sense there's there's no amount of

00:03:40.620 thinking there's no amount of research there's no amount of medical data that you can that you can

00:03:45.080 look at and to and look into to find where any of this makes sense unfortunately i think that's where

00:03:50.520 we're at yeah and and that's the whole thing like and people the true and on defenders are actually

00:03:56.080 hilarious on twitter right now because they'll say something like well it's not mandated there or

00:04:01.720 it's not federally regulated i'm like you're you're missing the point the point is not like no one's

00:04:06.140 suggesting they're breaking the law the point is that they're ignoring if if the law is supposed

00:04:10.640 to be rooted in science then the science would change when you're on a steam train versus on a

00:04:16.480 another train that's going uh in in a commercial setting and i by the way i have to mention on a

00:04:21.840 steam thing this was like the greatest day ever for the train operators because if you're powered by

00:04:27.000 hot air having justin trudeau on like gets you going miles and miles per hour so i think that's why

00:04:32.740 they had him on he was just a new fuel source for for a steam powered train but i think the reality

00:04:38.460 here is that it's the same as when we saw him masked up while he was doing one thing and then

00:04:44.600 the next day he's with the 90 something year old queen elizabeth ii with no mask but then he's wearing

00:04:49.360 the mask when he's with boris johnson but boris isn't wearing the mask at this rally in this event and

00:04:53.920 it's just it's completely made up and the rules are that i think you were right about this harrison

00:04:59.580 the rules are that the covet is not an issue when justin trudeau doesn't want it to be an issue when

00:05:04.060 he wants to live life mask free no issue at all when he wants to uh do whatever else is is on his

00:05:09.580 mind that he involves mandating things that is when covet is an issue and and how are we can't even

00:05:15.140 figure it out we can't unlock this information he is the great oracle uh so we all have to wait

00:05:19.700 when he takes his mask off that's when we can when he puts it on we we have to put actually no

00:05:24.060 we always have to keep it on even when he takes his off that's the big annoyance here so if

00:05:28.920 you're a canadian who is fed up with this looking at this is like it's just enraging it is enraging

00:05:34.780 you're like why do i have to on a 12 hour flight from i don't know toronto to tokyo keep my face

00:05:40.580 covered but this guy who's mandating that can do whatever he wants well exactly and it's one of

00:05:47.140 those things that you know when you when you're running with a lie for so long the pressure builds

00:05:53.060 up and you eventually fit you eventually crumble to it you eventually expose yourself because it's not

00:05:58.560 it doesn't make any sense and this is what we're seeing i mean trudeau is trying to convince all

00:06:02.080 of us that we have to keep wearing masks but eventually he was always going to get caught

00:06:05.700 out he was always going to find himself in a position where he wasn't following his own rules

00:06:09.320 and i think other leaders other western leaders have come to their senses they realize that wait

00:06:14.260 a second the minute i'm pictured doing something like what trudeau did at this steam train the minute

00:06:19.820 i'm pictured not wearing a mask when i've told everyone else to wear a mask that's when the entire

00:06:23.700 you know this one the entire sort of house of cards falls on this whole public health restrictions

00:06:29.440 regime for trudeau he doesn't even care about that i mean you almost got to respect the complete

00:06:34.140 you know lack of of consideration the lack of care when it comes to the the image and the hypocrisy

00:06:39.880 because i think that's what it is andrew i think a lot of western leaders just said you know what

00:06:43.340 there's no way especially with the uk with the uk media for example there's no way that boris johnson

00:06:49.860 could be seen breaking his mask rules and i know all the leaders did this they eventually did get

00:06:54.860 caught breaking their own rules but there's no way other countries media uh would let the leaders

00:06:59.860 off the hook the way canadian media lets trudeau off the hook you didn't see very you didn't see

00:07:03.880 much criticism from canada's legacy media for trudeau being spotted maskless here you didn't see

00:07:09.220 any criticism when trudeau was spotted maskless in many other situations this is not the first time

00:07:13.480 he's broken his own rules obviously he has a bit of a problem doing that whether it's health rules

00:07:18.220 or whatever i mean where was it um he was he like you said andrew he was seen uh wearing a mask

00:07:24.900 meeting the uk opposition leader keir starmer uh and then he was seen maskless meeting the queen

00:07:30.740 um he was also seen uh having a mask free party in the netherlands with uh mark ruta the netherlands

00:07:37.860 prime minister oh yeah yeah yeah they were like bar they were like doing a bar crawl together weren't

00:07:42.240 they pub yeah they were doing their little pub crawl together you know the best buddies the uh

00:07:46.220 ruta and trudeau while they were doing their thing behind a bar you know enjoying life maskless mask

00:07:51.940 free when all of us in canada were of course masked up and all these you know service workers had to be

00:07:57.360 masked up so it doesn't matter for trudeau it simply doesn't care and this is what happens when you own

00:08:01.540 the media pretty much when you buy off the media you can do whatever you want and no one's going to

00:08:05.800 call you out on it it's only going to be us it's only going to be some of the the critical media

00:08:09.100 and i think for trudeau it just doesn't matter to him he doesn't care yeah one thing that i will say

00:08:14.580 taking the bigger picture view of this i i was as i said on my own show i was just in the united

00:08:19.560 kingdom and it was night and day to canada now the uk was not exactly the bastion of freedom during

00:08:25.880 covet admittedly i mean some of the lockdown stuff there was insane worse than canada the behavior

00:08:30.760 of of her majesty's constabulary was absolutely atrocious in many points but the one thing that

00:08:36.660 the uk did well better than canada is moving on from this covid just does not exist at all and it

00:08:43.920 was interesting when i was at the airport uh on the way back at heathrow i walked around and i saw a

00:08:48.600 couple of people wearing masks and i said okay whatever all of them were canadians because they

00:08:52.680 were all on my flight to toronto so that's how you can tell when you're in another country who the

00:08:56.840 canadian is because they're the one wearing a mask when no one else is but it was literally this insane

00:09:02.200 thing where i flew uh from on an aerolingus flight which is an irish carrier no masks no issues and then

00:09:08.940 i i connect on to a canadian flight and the second you get on the plane you've got the air canada

00:09:14.580 flight attendants barking at you to put your mask on because transport canada is forcing them to do

00:09:19.380 that so the covid science just fundamentally is different to canada than it is everywhere else in

00:09:26.500 the world and there's that old line about when you know when you're the only one that's thinking a

00:09:32.180 certain way maybe you're the problem i think that's true in this canadian context as well let's turn

00:09:38.100 to trudeau's the perception of trudeau around the world because i think this is actually

00:09:42.420 very interconnected the these first two stories here harrison joe rogan not necessarily the

00:09:47.760 barometer of world opinion but i think he is an example of an outsider's view of things

00:09:52.480 what's happened well so on his on his podcast the joe rogan experience which is probably the biggest

00:09:59.040 podcast in the world hundreds and not hundreds millions of downloads per episode he absolutely laid

00:10:04.980 into justin trudeau and kind of just laid out exactly how i think a lot of people around the

00:10:09.800 world are starting to starting to view trudeau um obviously in canada we have a different perception

00:10:14.960 whether that's the way our media you know the media writes about trudeau um or just how we how we view

00:10:20.740 our politics in general but americans are starting to catch on to the fact that things just don't seem

00:10:25.640 to add up in canada for them and we've seen great commentary from tucker carlson on trudeau we've seen

00:10:31.060 this is not the first time joe rogan has commented on trudeau but basically i think this is probably

00:10:35.440 the the furthest he's gone in his criticism of justin trudeau in our country he just flat out called

00:10:40.920 canada a communist country he said that our prime minister is a dictator a creepy dictator uh and and

00:10:48.140 basically said that he needs to go and i think this is probably andrew one of the harshest or most

00:10:53.340 blunt criticisms of uh trudeau that we've seen in in the international media and this is not just

00:10:58.920 any random podcast this is probably the biggest podcast in the world he said that canada is a

00:11:03.700 communist country he said that we are effed uh he said that they got it we got to get rid of this guy

00:11:09.820 and uh his guest tom segura another comedian just agreed and said canada's crazy um and so he kind

00:11:16.900 of did this whole he prefaced it by saying you know he thought trudeau was a was a good guy a good

00:11:21.380 talker he thought he was a handsome guy uh but then he just turns out that after watching how

00:11:26.360 trudeau has handled covid and how we're holding on to all these rules that he's just basically a

00:11:30.380 dictator nothing less than a dictator and i said this on my podcast yesterday andrew that justin

00:11:35.320 trudeau for some reason took away the one thing that differentiated him from the rest of the world's

00:11:40.380 dictators it was his hair it was his appearance he cut off his hair and now he even looks kind of like

00:11:44.760 a dictator so i mean i guess we're really into it now well i i won't i won't i won't do the the

00:11:50.000 coiffure analysis but i will say what's fascinating about uh joe rogan's perception of this is that

00:11:56.860 joe rogan is in that jordan peterson space where the media the elites the establishment hate him but

00:12:02.860 he has this huge audience and this huge amount of influence and he's a lot more connected to people

00:12:08.580 than the ones who hate him are i mean you you had compiled a bit of a list of just the some of

00:12:13.860 the unhinged reactions to this from i don't even know if they're all from trudeau sycophants or maybe

00:12:20.140 they're just from garden variety joe rogan haters but people did not like that he dared criticize

00:12:24.760 justin trudeau no absolutely not and so what what did the canada's legacy media do of course when this

00:12:30.240 happened they got into defense mode they went full on uh they immediately started trying to basically

00:12:36.420 defend the prime minister find people and highlight voices of people that were critical of rogan's

00:12:41.000 comments now just before we get into this it's it's important to remember that joe rogan is not

00:12:45.000 some is not some conservative zealot not some you know hardcore conservative ideologue he endorsed

00:12:50.100 bernie sanders in the 2016 election i'm pretty sure it might have been even 2020 race he is definitely

00:12:56.620 not a conservative he just so happens to have his eye on the ball i think many would agree so the

00:13:01.840 toronto star put together a list of reactions to joe rogan's comments and of course to be fair to them

00:13:07.740 not all of the reactions that the toronto star put in this were critical of rogan um some of them

00:13:13.400 were critical of trudeau but the overall majority of them were critical of rogan's comments and we

00:13:18.400 can just go through some of them that they highlight so in the article they highlight this one comment

00:13:22.220 uh which basically said if we have a prime minister that keeps fox news and joe rogan upset it's a good

00:13:27.300 thing and then he right and then this person writes dear joe rogan trudeau is not a dictator in fact

00:13:32.320 he is the leader of a political party who can throw him out at any time who holds the most seats in a

00:13:36.640 minority parliament which could fall at any time he doesn't even have veto power hey hang on i i gotta

00:13:42.720 jump in on that one because that tweet is like the example of taking it way too literally and not

00:13:47.880 seeing the forest through the trees it's like it's like no he's not a dictator canada has statutory

00:13:52.680 elections and it's like no no the whole point is how he chooses to govern now i don't even make the

00:13:57.780 view that trudeau is a dictator but the the reality is the prime minister of canada has more power than

00:14:03.100 the president of the united states so the prime minister under our system is tremendously powerful

00:14:08.400 so to do like civics 101 on this as like the neutralizing a factor on this i think it's just

00:14:14.460 amusing and and really key to that you must be fun at parties retort yeah no exactly and it also shows

00:14:21.000 you andrew that when the toronto star has to pull twitter responses to debunk joe rogan's claims

00:14:26.440 instead of actually getting legitimate you know real real expert opinion on politics from people

00:14:34.060 then it shows you what they're trying to do is highlight the most extreme responses the people

00:14:38.300 that are most sycophantic to trudeau they're not even looking to get legitimate criticisms of the

00:14:42.640 of the comments they're just pulling twitter responses i guess this passes for toronto star

00:14:47.740 journalism one more i want to highlight uh from this article is no rogan gets his information on

00:14:53.780 canadian politics through jordan peterson and gad sad both of which misinterpret progressive messaging

00:14:58.740 in the worst possible ways okay so gad side and jordan peterson to act two professors 10 well gad

00:15:05.660 side is a tenured professor jordan peterson former professor they misinterpret progressive messaging

00:15:10.820 because of course what you have to do to understand trudeau is understand all the progressive messaging

00:15:15.900 techniques that's the only way that you can understand trudeau i guess and then he goes to goes on to

00:15:21.300 right mostly because that's what their audience wants to hear we rank higher on the freedom index

00:15:26.040 than the usa yes so canada with our arrive can app with our mask restrictions with our with our

00:15:31.900 with our crazy lockdowns that we went through uh yeah we are definitely more free than the united

00:15:36.840 states let's just go with that i'm sure no one disagrees andrew i'm sure you don't you don't disagree

00:15:41.640 andrew that canada is more free than the united states

00:15:44.460 it's a it's a tough one because both of them have their challenges i mean generally though the united

00:15:50.960 states will always default back to freedom and unfortunately it seems like canada is doing the

00:15:55.980 opposite and i mean as much as i don't like canada u.s comparisons some of these tweets though make me

00:16:01.000 long for the direction on how to masculinize your voice i'd rather listen to that video again the one

00:16:06.720 that we did last week uh then uh then then listen to some of the the unhinged reaction to to this

00:16:12.680 you know it's true the thing with joe rogan which i find fascinating you can't even he you can't even

00:16:17.880 apply to him all of the typical attacks that people apply to the right because he's not a conservative

00:16:23.900 and i mean he's probably a bit more libertarian but even then he's a lot more in that sort of weirdly

00:16:29.640 apolitical ecosystem that sort of transcends uh being being a partisan and i think that makes it so

00:16:36.400 difficult for people they hate him but they don't even really they don't have the ability to go

00:16:40.500 through their normal bag of insults with him yeah i have that same sort of view that rogan doesn't

00:16:45.620 obviously fit into the typical you know political spectrum the way that other other commentators do

00:16:51.220 and i i kind of view joe rogan to be in this sort of russell brand joe rogan you can throw some

00:16:57.640 other names in there that are basically just youtube and media personalities who are definitely not

00:17:03.720 conservatives they'll be the first people the first people to tell you that they're not conservatives

00:17:07.000 they're not a partisan they're not a republican or a or a conservative party member um but they just so

00:17:12.220 happen to be very critical of these ultra progressive governments in charge maybe that's a message about

00:17:18.260 the progressive governments and not necessarily the commentators who themselves are not conservatives

00:17:23.420 they say so um and more joe rogan has this incredible ability andrew to just explode heads he can he can

00:17:32.240 make people go absolutely nuts and lose their minds over a very silly comment over a joke don't forget

00:17:38.460 he is a comedian that's the whole idea of most of his podcast yeah and same as tom segura his guest on

00:17:43.560 that yeah exactly so on that same podcast where rogan was criticizing trudeau and calling him a

00:17:48.740 communist uh calling canada communist he made this joke obviously a joke about la and about the homeless

00:17:56.420 the homeless population in la basically talking about how the the state has promoted or helped

00:18:03.600 the homeless population to such a degree and given them so much so much uh you know you could say legal

00:18:09.660 protection that you can't do anything about it i mean they were talking him and joe joe rogan and this

00:18:14.120 guy tom segura were talking about how you can't touch a homeless person's property on the street

00:18:20.380 obviously it's on public property but you can't touch it because it's legally their property now

00:18:25.100 and it's a it's an overall criticism of what what's going on in la so rogan made a comment about how

00:18:31.540 you can't move these people from the street but if you shot them no one would do anything obviously

00:18:37.060 making a joke it would be very difficult i mean you'd have to be maybe you'd have to be from tmz or

00:18:42.180 somewhere somewhere like that to assume that rogan was talking literally and of course tmz wrote an

00:18:47.400 article about this comment of course just looking for headlines looking for clicks they wrote a headline

00:18:52.860 that said joe rogan under fire for maybe just go shoot the homeless joke intended as political jab

00:19:00.900 and i'm not sure if that was the original headline they ran with but tmz is a very odd publication

00:19:06.700 andrew i haven't gone on there in quite a long time to read their articles but it's very bizarre

00:19:11.960 because it's clearly written by a leftist activist uh the beginning in the lead they talk about how these

00:19:19.240 people aren't homeless they are without a home or they are what's the word they use for them

00:19:24.400 unhoused exactly i guess that's the new term andrew so it starts off with their the unhoused as though

00:19:32.300 i guess everyone is entitled to a home these days that is sort of i guess the california line about

00:19:36.920 the homeless so it starts off by being very critical of rogan at the very top but then at the very end of

00:19:42.260 the article you can see exactly where the editor of tmz came in and said yeah nice activist article

00:19:47.880 let me just put some context at the bottom of the we'll let you have a little bit of fun at the

00:19:51.720 beginning but we're bringing it around to reality exactly at the bottom of the article then they

00:19:56.020 bring in the fact that of course what he was doing was criticizing the la county district attorney

00:20:01.400 george gasconn who many conservatives if you follow any american conservative media you will have

00:20:06.380 heard that name likely they are really upset at this at this district attorney in la who has

00:20:11.400 basically let the city become a lawless wasteland so it's a criticism of that it's a criticism of the

00:20:16.140 la politics not of the homeless people but of course for leftists and activists in the media

00:20:21.980 and they don't they don't understand that they don't say that all they hear is joe rogan wants

00:20:25.420 to shoot homeless people it's just bizarre it's just so weird yeah i mean one of the most insufferable

00:20:31.500 developments of the last few years is the complete abandonment of having a sense of humor this this was

00:20:36.780 the big thing with trump is that nine times out of ten whenever trump said something that was

00:20:40.360 supposedly outrageous you'd read it in print you'd be like oh wow that's terrible and then you'd watch the

00:20:44.380 video and it's like okay he's clearly joking and people are deliberately deciding to pretend that

00:20:49.400 humor no longer exists so uh in any case let's continue along with our theme of talking about

00:20:55.320 how the media can be out of touch with its audience sometimes and this one is a bit of a visual

00:21:00.040 representation of it here cbc was doing a segment about inflation which we know is a massive issue this

00:21:06.860 week came to record highs the highest in 39 years with an 8.1 percent i think increase year over year

00:21:13.300 for the last month that we have data available and a lot of people in this country are wondering how

00:21:19.260 to make things work they're wondering how to afford the grocery bill how to afford the fill up at the

00:21:24.320 gas pumps and well here's a little bit of advice from cbc's personal finance correspondent on this

00:21:31.320 a woman by the name of rubina ahmed hack let's see shelter and hydro uh in combination uh should be

00:21:39.180 about 30 percent of your income and that is much higher uh right now especially in cities like

00:21:44.120 toronto vancouver calgary where rents are much higher uh one way that you can mitigate that is

00:21:50.020 by speaking to your employer about getting a raise uh with inflation the way that it is going

00:21:55.560 um it is completely reasonable right now especially in this tight labor market to go to your employer

00:22:00.780 and say i need you to bump my wage because it's becoming impossible for me to still survive in the

00:22:06.700 city that i was hired in and if that doesn't work looking for another job especially if you've got

00:22:11.820 skills that are in demand will often give you the bump that you need in order to afford that apartment

00:22:16.840 and that rent that goes with it i can hear a whole bunch of people at home going so my boss will say no

00:22:22.180 yeah and that is and that's a fair point i'm kind of conflicted on this because in in one sense it

00:22:29.340 sounds just so out of touch it sounds like this thing that is just completely disconnected

00:22:33.780 from the people who are really grappling people that work in lower wage jobs perhaps i mean but

00:22:39.100 even in general i mean you don't need to work in a minimum wage job to be feeling the pinch with

00:22:43.420 inflation but then on the other hand i'm looking at and in people's cases where they are in a

00:22:50.720 bargaining position sure that's great advice to go to your boss and say i want to raise or to look

00:22:54.820 for another job everyone's hiring but it completely misses the mark that right now we don't have

00:23:00.800 a problem that can be easily solved by just okay i'm just going to pick up and no longer be poor

00:23:06.420 yeah exactly you're not you're not going to hear any legitimate criticism of the situation we're in

00:23:11.780 of course what you're going to hear is just basically you know find a better job go find a

00:23:16.760 better job for yourself and i think that again you're right it's it's classic cbc it completely

00:23:21.680 misses the mark and it's not helping anyone it's just basically telling you what the obvious is oh yeah

00:23:26.620 everyone can go get a better job uh not like anyone's gonna have to fill the jobs that everyone

00:23:30.680 left of course that that thinking never comes to never never really comes to reality but i love some

00:23:36.120 of the comments on this video when we posted it on true north we got some good funny comments and just

00:23:41.140 this woman said or this person wrote she can use her own advice when the cbc is defunded which i thought

00:23:46.000 was quite hilarious uh maybe some of the cbc experts are going to need to be asking their employers for a

00:23:51.800 raise when uh when the money doesn't start funding funneling their way the same way it currently does

00:23:57.040 so of course the cbc with with their with their you know with their position they're in they've got

00:24:02.100 they don't have to worry about price that they don't have to worry about salaries that's for sure

00:24:05.240 they of course just give us perfect advice andrew why can't everyone just go get a better job why

00:24:10.660 can't anyone just ask for a raise i'm sure i'm sure i'm sure businesses themselves definitely

00:24:14.960 aren't struggling with eight percent inflation 40 year high inflation i mean it's just so short-sighted

00:24:20.020 the funny thing is she's doing what the left used to be enraged when you know your old sort of 80s 0.85

00:24:25.920 90s conservatist did it the whole bootstraps conservatism of just just pick yourself up by

00:24:30.340 the boots like like she's doing what the right used to be just derided for doing yeah and i wonder if uh

00:24:36.440 if the inflation we're seeing now was under a conservative government i wonder if the cbc would

00:24:42.220 be telling us that we need to find better jobs we need to just ask for more raises or maybe they were

00:24:46.380 maybe they might be a bit more critical of the situation we're in i'm not sure andrew something

00:24:50.520 tells me that uh they they might they might be a bit more critical of the government if it were a

00:24:54.360 conservative government but maybe that's just my maybe that's just me having a having a negative

00:24:58.700 outlook on the cbc all right well we got time for one more here harrison take it away so we found this

00:25:04.940 uh very very odd video i have to say it happened to be an interview with a global news toronto well

00:25:11.840 with global news toronto this this woman latisha isertal who's the senior director of a company

00:25:18.200 called food share went on global news to talk about one of their new initiatives and what it is

00:25:23.220 is a dismantling white supremacy food box so we have a clip we have a clip of the interview and i think

00:25:30.820 it's worth quickly playing the video before we comment on it this is what the video was this is what the

00:25:35.180 interview sounded like you know we often ask why you know name the dismantling white supremacy box why

00:25:40.040 we do some of the work and i think ultimately is that you know the data is really clear in terms of

00:25:44.780 showing that black indigenous and richard and so many experience higher rate of food insecurity in

00:25:50.320 toronto and they also remain like under supported when it comes to farming and agriculture and you know

00:25:55.960 they often underrepresented when it comes to like running you know your own farm and your own

00:26:00.560 business why you know there's there's no denying that small scale farming is a struggle you know

00:26:06.720 uh regardless of your race it's really important that we recognize the additional barrier that

00:26:11.680 many black indigenous and people of color farmers and we are facing right first it's it's about whether

00:26:17.920 it's with this dismantling white supremacy box and and and the farmers we're working with for that

00:26:23.120 or you know the the work that we do for school brand it's about really changing the system for those who

00:26:28.880 uh face the most buyer and are discriminated against in our food movements and so hopefully we can fix

00:26:34.560 the system for all so andrew this initiative is designed to i guess tackle food insecurity or what

00:26:40.480 these people call food insecurity uh and they're not making any direct accusation of racism they're not

00:26:46.240 saying that farmers that white farmers are uh you know believe that they're they're only selling their

00:26:51.360 food to white people that there's some inherent white supremacy in farming no it's just because that black 1.00

00:26:56.880 and indigenous uh people in toronto suffer from higher rates of food insecurity it's very bizarre

00:27:02.880 to me then that they call it dismantling white supremacy box so a dismantling white supremacy box

00:27:10.160 when they admit that these farmers are not even racist they're not even they're not even white

00:27:15.280 supremacists it's almost as if they're kind of just throwing gas on the fire and trying to basically

00:27:20.880 get people worked up i mean that's the only way i can see it i mean when i see something like this

00:27:24.400 one of my reactions is that they're trying to get people worked up and fired up when they see a

00:27:29.760 headline like this when the person even admits that it's not even about white supremacy it's very

00:27:34.160 bizarre i i i feel you're being very insensitive i was trying to find the dismantling white supremacy

00:27:40.960 deli meats at the grocery store the other day and they didn't have any and then i looked for the

00:27:45.520 dismantling white supremacy uh canned goods and i couldn't find any and then i looked for the

00:27:50.000 the dismantling white supremacy milk and i i couldn't find any so i feel that if white supremacy

00:27:55.840 is innate in food products uh the fact that i i'm not seeing any food products elsewhere devoted to

00:28:01.360 it suggests this is a real problem there's white supremacy everywhere and you you can't get it unless

00:28:05.200 you buy kale from her yeah and i just find it weird that of all of all the all the places where

00:28:11.200 someone would go to get their message out like this they go to global news supposedly one of our

00:28:15.520 premier you know big name legacy media news outlets global news wants to highlight something

00:28:20.800 like this yeah it's it's very bizarre to me i i just i just don't really i don't really understand

00:28:26.240 any of this and when i see something like this even when the person admits that it's not even about

00:28:32.160 racism uh the only thing i can think of andrew is that they're basically trying to incite people

00:28:38.160 to react in a way that is negative that almost that tries to you know produce a certain reaction or

00:28:44.960 create a certain reaction from people when they read something like this so apparently and

00:28:48.640 do you do you think it's that though or do you think it's just trying to capitalize on like guilty

00:28:52.720 white liberals i mean of course i think it's probably that too but then but then because i in

00:28:57.600 which case i say capitalist of the year like well done exactly well then they wouldn't even be

00:29:01.920 solving uh supposed food insecurity for black and indigenous canadians they would just be 0.82

00:29:06.960 you know encouraging these you know insufferable white guilt liberals to uh to buy their to buy their

00:29:13.840 food boxes in these food boxes uh what you have are kalalu fo shoko uh basil kale and much more so

00:29:23.360 and it's all grown by local non-white growers that's the key there so the food you're getting

00:29:28.240 it's not grown by anyone who's a white person so i think you know the news the new the new standard

00:29:33.440 andrew is to fight white supremacy with racism sounds like a great strategy to me i'm sure there's no no

00:29:38.560 issue with that at all all right one box of kale at a time dismantling white supremacy

00:29:44.160 that does it for us for today harrison faulkner host of ratioed on true north and also the author
