The Candice Malcolm Show - Fake News Friday ｜ Pierre Poilievre exposes Global News

00:00:00.000 happy friday canada welcome to fake news friday the only show on the internet keeping canada's

00:00:16.140 failing fake and bias legacy media in check and my goodness do they need a checking it's

00:00:20.660 it's been a historically bad week i think for canada's legacy media my name is harrison

00:00:24.820 falkner filling in for andrew lawton once again who usually fills in for candace malcolm and

00:00:29.240 taking the seat that i usually occupy on the show is the very talented rupa subramania the host of

00:00:34.240 the rupa subramania podcast now rupa this may be one of the worst weeks i think for canada's legacy

00:00:39.560 media i mean i don't know how much worse it can get they they've they've embarrassed themselves

00:00:43.580 and frankly exposed themselves i think a little bit yeah no i think so i mean we've we've lots to

00:00:49.520 cover and um yeah i don't even know where where where to begin uh just when you think that you

00:00:55.600 know it's it's bad it just gets worse and uh so uh yeah uh they've not conducted themselves

00:01:01.580 well here uh they once again made themselves the center of the story uh and as we discussed last

00:01:07.860 week journalists are not supposed to be the story so um you know it's it's just very unfortunate but

00:01:13.500 unfortunately this is this is how it's been uh for a while and that's where that's why we call it as

00:01:19.860 as we see it yeah well let's start with this let's start with this whole pierre polyev jeremy mckenzie

00:01:26.380 diagalon debacle let's call it the diagalon debacle because global news have have just completely

00:01:32.240 embarrassed themselves i think here and i think a good number of canadians who were already quite

00:01:37.120 skeptical of what they were getting from the legacy media after seeing what happened now i think are

00:01:41.120 just saying to themselves wow i mean we're this is this is these are new lows so let's just summarize

00:01:46.320 what happened for those that maybe aren't aware of what's what went on so at an event on sunday

00:01:52.520 pierre polyev i might have been sunday might have been monday i'm not sure but pierre polyev was doing

00:01:56.740 a meet and greet as he usually does one of his rallies in nova scotia i believe it was and at these

00:02:02.260 rallies polyev like any other politician in this country meets and greets the supporters he sets up a

00:02:08.200 there's a long line of people who want to shake his hand have a quick word take a picture and keep that

00:02:12.920 as a little uh a little political memorabilia of a of a well-known political candidate so sure enough

00:02:17.500 this guy jeremy mckenzie who is a an online streamer someone who is i think known for being

00:02:23.480 quite controversial quite on the edge um the the legacy media view this guy as some very dangerous

00:02:28.680 extreme right boogeyman well he went to the polyev rally took a photo with pierre polyev shaking his

00:02:35.380 hand posted it to his telegram page and all of a sudden here comes global news journalist rachel

00:02:41.300 gilmore who takes this and says well because this guy jeremy mckenzie who doesn't need doesn't need

00:02:48.380 defending uh but but this guy jeremy mckenzie because he took a photo with polyev pierre polyev

00:02:54.060 must be some racist far-right boogeyman he he's attracting these these far-right individuals and

00:03:00.380 because of that we must we must force pierre polyev to denounce these people and basically validate

00:03:06.900 the claims legacy media are making about him that he's what uh you know uh rupa he's he's he's

00:03:12.440 attracting these far-right dangerous dangerous figures it's it's completely bizarre and and they

00:03:18.480 completely fell for this yeah no but uh harrison we've seen this movie before i mean this is classic

00:03:24.260 guilt by association uh which uh is applied to uh politicians on the right uh and never on the left

00:03:32.340 uh so you know we know that trudeau has appeared with all kinds of extremists out there um many of

00:03:38.960 his mps have appeared uh in community groups associated with um for example the khalasthan

00:03:45.360 independence movement uh or tamil tigers and and none of these people were called extremists i don't

00:03:51.980 ever recall anyone uh calling justin trudeau an extremist or um who supports these organizations or

00:04:00.980 these elements uh but this is a classic smear tactic that comes from the left uh you attack

00:04:07.040 someone uh not for their ideas not for their policies but you want to cast aspersions on their

00:04:13.420 character so it's clearly motivated there's an agenda here for sure uh but you know what i would like

00:04:18.900 about pierce uh about pierce responses and he's done this before it's very clever and witty you know he

00:04:25.320 could have responded to it by uh getting angry and defensive but he responds it responds with wit

00:04:32.080 and humor and thereby revealing how ridiculous the whole thing is for example i think he said um he 0.94

00:04:39.340 says you know likewise i can't be responsible for justin trudeau's many racist outbursts just because

00:04:44.900 i've met him or shaken his hands um i think that's that's a great way of dealing with it uh and uh you

00:04:50.960 know mckinsey himself i believe uh has said that he was deliberately doing this to provoke the legacy

00:04:57.780 media and of course they they fell um uh for it they responded um just like they uh fell for his

00:05:06.740 diagonal on meme which is a fake country but they um tried to concoct this conspiracy that it is

00:05:13.280 a far-right movement um uh here to um overthrow the canadian government there are a bunch of extremists

00:05:20.680 they're a bunch of terrorists i mean it's a joke it's a joke the meme it's a it's a fixed it's it's

00:05:26.300 it's a made-up country uh with the with with the goat i think as its head i or you know i don't quite 0.86

00:05:34.560 know all the specifics but it's it's kind of funny but but it just shows you how easy it is to rile up

00:05:40.600 um the legacy media and uh essentially get them to reveal where they're coming from their biases and

00:05:46.680 their agenda no exactly and if the legacy media didn't have double standards we would know that

00:05:51.180 they'd have no standards at all because of course if a legitimate journalist who's writing this story

00:05:57.120 well first of all any politician who shakes hands with someone at an event designed for a meet and

00:06:02.060 greet that's not a story no matter who they are it's not a story but if you're going to go to those

00:06:06.820 those such low depths you might as well just provide a little bit of context not once in this global

00:06:12.500 news reporter story did they did she mention the fact that as you mentioned trudeau has met with

00:06:18.080 such you know acclaimed people as convicted pedophile ben levin or neo-nazi andre perubi

00:06:24.300 or a pet or pedophile terry lowe so again and that's just to name a few there's there's actually

00:06:29.260 four others worth mentioning but again it's just ridiculous i did some digging into this and 0.80

00:06:33.440 it wasn't just of course global news that fell for this trap of course jerry mckenzie as you said

00:06:38.600 mate put a video out there detailing how it was all just a setup it was just to expose a legacy

00:06:43.880 media for being completely in the tank for trudeau but i did some research about this diagonal group

00:06:48.760 as you said it's a meme it's a total joke you're trying to form some breakaway state a diagonal

00:06:53.160 country from alaska to florida and from my research and and so in between these dangerous reports about

00:06:59.240 how all these these diagonal guys are so dangerous they have to put in their actual specifics about what

00:07:05.260 this group is and one of them is the fact that their vice president of diagonal is a goat figurine

00:07:10.940 who has who does coke i mean so it's it's a total it's a total joke obviously and and it wasn't just

00:07:18.620 global news that fell for this it was jean chariot who also in his best what patrick brown impersonation

00:07:24.280 tried to basically say that pauliev hasn't denounced this jeremy mckenzie figure and if he doesn't denounce 0.81

00:07:30.500 this guy he must be what supporting the the the views of of of the far right it's it's ridiculous

00:07:36.740 and the whole goal here and conservatives should be wise to this and i think the more and more this

00:07:41.360 goes on they'll start to see it what these what these legacy media journalists and the left want

00:07:46.220 is for conservatives to denounce and distance condemn denounce and distance themselves from people

00:07:51.940 who again aren't necessarily the model citizens but when have you seen justin trudeau

00:07:58.240 openly denounce the extreme left or antifa he never does it and no one expects him to

00:08:04.340 well you don't even have to go to jeremy mckenzie look what they did to the freedom protests

00:08:08.980 and look look what look what they did to uh you know those people you know james top yeah james 0.96

00:08:15.880 stopped like i've met james stopped to call him a white supremacist is so incredibly ridiculous i i don't

00:08:22.780 even know where to begin here i i marched with the man you know for for a day to get an interview 0.84

00:08:28.840 i was i spent about six hours with him and i did a podcast with him and he's perfectly reasonable

00:08:34.720 person he believes in this you know in his cause and there's nothing racist or white supremacist about

00:08:42.460 him i mean unless you know white supremacists are now becoming a more inclusive group i mean i'm not

00:08:47.980 aware of this development but uh it's it's it's insane how they try to tar everybody um you know

00:08:54.160 with this brush um and we saw that with the freedom protests uh just pretty much you know they were just

00:08:59.740 using these talking points from justin trudeau himself when he recall when he characterized the

00:09:07.320 unvaccinated as a bunch of racists and misogynists and should we tolerate them as he infamously asked

00:09:13.160 and uh that's essentially what they're doing they're um you know they're essentially behaving

00:09:19.160 like stenographers for the government and it's uh it's unfortunate but uh but there you have it yeah

00:09:24.700 so you i mean you've you've got you've got the the whole series of photographs that justin trudeau

00:09:29.280 has taken these aren't just with any individuals i mean one of them you know is the former speaker

00:09:33.580 i think of the ukrainian parliament who is andre peruby i mean these are real legitimate people who are

00:09:39.660 truly uh i i would say in to use the less language problematic um but again you don't even have to go

00:09:45.840 that far you can go back earlier this week when the canadian heritage department gave money 130 grand

00:09:51.440 to a violent semite where obviously we saw we saw ahmed hassan denounce and condemn rightly so but you

00:09:58.680 don't have you don't have a whole procession of liberal mps openly coming out and saying we denounce

00:10:03.800 this we denounce this man we we distance ourselves because they don't actually have to because the

00:10:09.080 standards aren't actually the same and and it's also worth mentioning too the the way that this

00:10:15.140 has all been set up they they've created these also they've created these these blanket terms like

00:10:19.480 ideologically motivated violent extremism for example imve that's not that's like a new thing

00:10:25.740 and if you think about that ideologically motivated that's basically politics and and and and violent

00:10:31.400 extremism that can be anything as we've seen from the left so i mean we this was a standard

00:10:35.440 operating procedure from the legacy media and there was another article that came up from the

00:10:40.440 same journalist at global because global wasn't done there this week of course after embarrassing

00:10:45.040 themselves on what the monday they decided the next day to double down and go even deeper they wrote

00:10:50.680 an article the headline is laughable here the headline is how podcasts have become misinformation

00:10:55.420 machines and what can be done about it so this article is unbelievable they basically just take

00:11:02.100 any conservative uh right wing media operation if it's i mean they they take the biggest names we're

00:11:08.800 talking uh jordan peterson ben shapiro alex jones they're saying anyone who is not basically

00:11:15.660 in the legacy media anything that's not printed by a legacy media outlet or anything that's not

00:11:20.180 produced by uh some sort of uh legacy media outlet rupa is disinformation and right wing and they even

00:11:27.740 they even try and lump in shows that aren't even podcasts as podcasts it's ridiculous yeah it's very

00:11:34.080 poor research look obviously there's misinformation out there there's disinformation no one denies that

00:11:39.640 uh but here's the thing there's a lot of fake information in from the legacy media itself

00:11:45.140 the legacy media itself is a big proponent of uh fake news stories and uh uh propagates this right

00:11:53.940 uh not proponent but uh propagates these stories uh so it's rather disingenuous to say that it's

00:11:59.620 just podcast spreading misinformation um and keep in mind that legacy media uh still reaches a large

00:12:06.600 number of people who are not into uh podcasts and you know and other uh sort of you know how you and i

00:12:13.960 would get the news there are a lot of people who still look to the cbc and the c and ctv and legacy media

00:12:20.980 for for news so again um the the fact of the matter is that the fake news the legacy media

00:12:27.920 maybe that was a freudian slip but uh but but the legacy media itself propagates fake news and they've

00:12:37.300 been called out plenty of times um and uh and again you know i refer to the freedom convoy protests

00:12:43.200 where the legacy media was all but parroting the trudeau government's uh own misinformation uh where

00:12:49.500 they tarred all the protesters with the with the same brush that they were racist and misogynist and

00:12:54.480 we know that's not true um and it and and guess who um uh you know guess who who who were the people

00:13:01.840 who who was pointing this out it was the independent media uh which was there on the ground um uh and uh

00:13:08.500 and i think people like uh you and i were were there at the protests and we i think we presented

00:13:13.460 a much more accurate picture of what was actually happening there um and you know i think i think

00:13:19.280 what's happening here harrison is that podcasts and independent media are increasingly providing

00:13:25.080 a much needed corrective to i believe a very hegemonic agenda driven narrative uh by legacy

00:13:31.680 media uh and at least here in canada we know it's usually in favor of the liberals well no exactly and

00:13:37.820 and you know the thing is is i think canadians should understand and i think canadians do understand

00:13:43.660 that when you read something from the legacy media these legacy media outlets they're obviously

00:13:48.180 going to be left-wing that's just sort of the nature of of big media but when you put out an

00:13:53.420 article when the global news puts out an article that is so clearly slanted against the against the

00:13:58.860 right i mean they're trying to they're trying to basically say that uh jordan peterson and ben

00:14:04.440 shapiro and podcasters like that are putting out misinformation they don't once talk about any sort

00:14:10.200 of antifa or far left podcast and we know they're out there they should at least make these make these

00:14:15.120 articles known that it's it's an opinion or it's or it's some sort of analysis like even the cbc to

00:14:21.200 their credit and i can't believe i'm going to say this rupa to the the cbc's credit they will label

00:14:25.640 their articles either op-ed or analysis and you know that it's really not news but this apparently

00:14:31.020 is being presented as news and you people should go through this article because the more you read

00:14:36.260 it the more it obviously becomes a justification to to introduce censorship in the media to guarantee

00:14:42.580 that canadians can't access information that is not filtered by legacy media sources so there's

00:14:47.700 there's an important there's an important paragraph that i want to that i want to uh read here and it's

00:14:53.160 a quote from somebody in this article i think it's justin ling actually which just makes it even worse

00:14:57.780 if anyone knows canadian legacy media but this is what he says in the article one of the main draws

00:15:03.060 of podcasting is the low barrier to entry all you need is a microphone and some basic editing software

00:15:08.000 the result your message can go right to the listeners ears with no gatekeepers i mean what's

00:15:13.380 wrong with that rupa what's wrong with people instead of people just putting out news and and

00:15:18.600 letting letting audiences decide how they want to receive it it has to go through gatekeepers i mean

00:15:24.060 it's ridiculous and then here's another line too he says it feels like somebody leaning over the

00:15:29.560 counter of the bar or coming to your cubicle in the office or sitting across your kitchen table and 0.59

00:15:33.520 explaining something to you it doesn't feel produced it doesn't feel put on it doesn't feel like

00:15:37.180 there are any filters between what the host is saying and what you're hearing so again i ask the

00:15:41.800 question what's wrong with someone just telling it to you straight just giving you a conversation

00:15:46.920 to inform you they want it to go through their sources only because they can feel their their

00:15:52.160 monopoly on information slipping through their hands and there's nothing that terrifies them more

00:15:56.420 that's precisely it you've you've uh you know you've identified the problem there and that is

00:16:01.480 it uh look it's democratization of discourse which is a great thing that's what that's what we

00:16:06.920 want and that's what technology has enabled us to do uh that's what podcasting um has enabled us to

00:16:13.100 do uh and you know everybody has a voice what is wrong with that uh and and if you you know you're

00:16:19.140 you're free to disagree with those views and opinions but you know to obviously this you know

00:16:25.880 they feel that their control over this narrative that they've been pushing for a very long time

00:16:30.540 is slowly starting to slip away it's it's already happening i think in in a big way uh in certain

00:16:37.200 areas and they're being challenged constantly every day uh by viewers and listeners um uh you know

00:16:44.180 saying you know this your your reporting of this is completely biased it's incorrect and they're

00:16:48.720 you you no longer have to write a letter to an editor um you know which which used to be the case

00:16:54.620 when i was growing up and it would take a week for them to publish it and you you didn't even know

00:16:59.340 if the journalist even received that letter so yeah but now it's instantaneous you know you can 1.00

00:17:04.780 just tweet to this person you can just tell them directly look i think you suck your reporting sucks 0.99

00:17:09.160 and and that and they they have a hard time dealing with it and uh and and then of course 1.00

00:17:14.320 they they they you know they're they they face fierce competition from independent media um you know

00:17:21.160 and i was i was just looking at podcasts um by charitable a ranking of podcasts in canada um

00:17:27.340 and and um and and i i noticed that several of our podcasts on true north are actually up there in

00:17:33.180 in the top 50 uh ranked you know in in the top 50 yeah mine happens to be number 21 so um

00:17:40.980 i'm rather pleased with that certainly yeah but i noticed that most of those podcasts are actually

00:17:48.880 from the independent media space uh i think i saw one cbc podcast up there but most of it are just

00:17:56.140 people like you and i podcasting and i think that's that's where you know they feel really 0.97

00:18:02.680 threatened and that would explain why they come out with these stupid bogus articles um uh you know 0.97

00:18:09.220 which are poorly researched poorly written and uh and you know and and you know because they they 0.99

00:18:15.620 they they want to keep this monopoly going as much as possible yeah absolutely and i think when

00:18:21.680 journalists are on the side of of restricting access to the news and and trying to you know

00:18:26.860 keep canadians from being able to access other voices i think that's when they're on the wrong

00:18:30.600 side of this debate and i think canadians are going to see that now rupa the the legacy media

00:18:35.200 journalists speaking of these great legacy media journalists they they still haven't gotten over

00:18:40.040 your reporting which has exposed the trudeau government it's like it's like it almost hurts

00:18:44.580 them more than the trudeau government i don't understand why but they can't stop attacking you

00:18:48.260 what's going on here uh well it's uh you know back back in the old days harrison and that was not

00:18:57.520 too long ago um i you know when a journalist broke a story right other journalists would dive into the

00:19:03.840 story and try to get more stories out of it right uh but what's happening here is that they're actually

00:19:10.480 trying to demonize the journalist and defending the government it's it's messed up so you know just

00:19:16.580 imagine when bob woodward and carl bernstein broke the watergate story uh and legacy media

00:19:22.660 in canada would have attacked them and tried to defend nixon um it's it's it's really about that 0.89

00:19:28.040 ridiculous and so incredibly shameful uh you know there are several things that are shameful here 1.00

00:19:33.100 they're attacking me and they're also so incredibly stupid and naive that they take everything that 1.00

00:19:38.120 government officials are saying at face value um they do this kind of thing in north korea and 1.00

00:19:43.060 other tin pot dictatorships you know to stay alive right because if you speak up speak out against

00:19:48.300 um dear leader uh that's it that's game over for you uh but it's incredible that uh you know some

00:19:56.060 journalists here are behaving like we're in north korea um you know rather than having a healthy

00:20:03.140 skepticism um you know towards uh official narratives uh from the government uh fact checking

00:20:12.340 they're fact checking me they should really be looking at these court documents and digging deeper

00:20:18.120 there's a lot of stuff in there that i couldn't get into there's so many stories here um but uh no

00:20:24.100 but they're busy fact checking me and uh you know again uh attempting um a character assassination by

00:20:32.120 saying that i'm affiliated with far-right outfits what what on earth does it have to do with the story

00:20:37.120 and the story speaks for itself um you know but instead you know they're they're you know they

00:20:41.920 should be fact checking the government and they should be looking for evidence to support the

00:20:45.460 government claims and not just take them at face value it's a shameful dereliction of duty by

00:20:51.100 some of these individuals in the legacy media no absolutely and you know the legacy media are going

00:20:56.440 after journalists and they're going after small podcasters like jeremy mckenzie who has 12 000

00:21:01.420 subscribers instead of going after the government instead of actually going after people who are in

00:21:06.040 authority the whole point of journalism is to hold power to account but we is the common thing i say

00:21:11.620 on this show and it's that this is just par for the course there's nothing changing in the legacy

00:21:16.420 media i would love it if there was a a carl bernstein like type journalist that just emerged through one of

00:21:22.800 these outlets because it would do good for canada i want to see these outlets do good for canada

00:21:27.160 but right now all they're doing is just the opposite quickly i i want to i want to touch on this

00:21:32.180 ridiculous cbc article where they're basically saying that uh the dutch protests uh that we see

00:21:38.220 in in the netherlands the farmer protests in the netherlands that really took off around the world 0.58

00:21:41.640 these were fueled by conspiracy theories in canada so there was a cbc headline that came out today

00:21:47.400 uh came out yesterday excuse me that said canada's convoy movement waved the dutch flag

00:21:52.660 then conspiracy theories swirled about fertilizer and bugs very bizarre article they're basically trying

00:21:58.840 to say rupa i i think here and correct me if i'm wrong the the statement here is the because a lot

00:22:04.960 of people who are involved in the freedom convoy sympathized with what was going on in the netherlands

00:22:09.340 which i think a lot of people rightly consider to be a sort of a uh the next evolution of of protests

00:22:15.420 that we saw start in ottawa because canadians who are sympathetic to the ottawa protest and the

00:22:19.780 dutch protest they're also conspiracy theorists or they're pushing conspiracy theorists maybe it's just

00:22:25.560 because they take issue with a real policy and the government is trying to back them up i don't know

00:22:29.740 what's going on here yeah this was a really bizarre story it was desperately trying to um bring in

00:22:38.340 misinformation and disinformation into this uh into the uh into some canadian support for the farmers

00:22:47.140 protest uh in the netherlands um it was a really bizarre story it was long and it was just uh you know

00:22:53.300 it made no sense to me uh but you know i was i was intrigued by a tweet that uh that the cbc sent

00:22:59.460 out uh to promote the story um and uh you know the language was very problematic uh um i don't have the

00:23:06.440 tweet with me but basically i felt this was a case study in propaganda that if you oppose government

00:23:13.400 policies they framed uh an opposition to government policies as uh as has uh as being uh anti-government

00:23:21.700 ideology um which is very problematic so just because you criticize the government um essentially

00:23:29.500 that means you're a far-right conspiracy theorist and uh you you're anti-government and it's anti-government

00:23:35.620 ideology uh it this is incredibly problematic and imagine for example if the legacy media in the u.s

00:23:42.700 um during the civil rights movement for example and this was the example i sent out on my twitter feed

00:23:47.960 uh in my tweet in the 60s the civil rights movement was protesting unjust laws and uh and and imagine

00:23:55.020 if they were called anti-government ideology uh in fact there were people saying that this was

00:24:00.240 anti-government of ideology but guess who these people were these were southern white supremacists

00:24:05.080 right no exactly and that's that's kind of the shift we're seeing right i mean it's when it's when

00:24:10.500 this this this movement goes so far they've completely lost lost touch with reality and they end up

00:24:15.880 they end up sounding insane i mean the cbc sounds absolutely insane here i have the tweet here

00:24:20.560 as the canadian convoy movement embraced farmers protest in the netherlands far-right outlets here

00:24:25.800 took advantage to amplify anti-government ideology so excuse me it wasn't even just about the protesters

00:24:30.960 it was about the far-right outlets so they're attacking the media which are critical of the government

00:24:36.120 and and by proxy basically saying anyone who reads these outlets uh that's you watching the show

00:24:42.740 right now audience you the cbc thinks are are some sort of far-right conspiracy theorist you pay for

00:24:48.680 the cbc remember that this is what you pay for you pay for you pay for an outlet to bash all of us

00:24:54.960 constantly and do the government's bidding it's it's it again like this is the kind of stuff we can

00:25:00.120 laugh at the cbc and they always put out stuff to laugh at but then they do stuff like this which is

00:25:04.440 extremely dangerous and just absolutely ridiculous well we do we do try and end the show on a lighter

00:25:09.500 note and it's tough these days because it's just so ridiculous from the legacy media they're always 0.85

00:25:13.740 kind of gaslighting canadians trying to convince us all that we're we're wild conspiracy theorists but

00:25:18.420 we found something that i thought was was definitely worthy of of mockery rupa the kind of thing that i

00:25:23.780 think just shows you really what i don't even know what to describe this as but wendy's the fast food

00:25:30.340 chain decided that they really wanted to kind of hop on the lisa laflam bandwagon and there's this

00:25:35.420 there's this narrative going around about lisa laflam lisa laflam's firing from ctv that actually

00:25:39.940 it was because she was going gray that that's that's sort of the narrative we're hearing and

00:25:44.740 wendy's taking this literally without actually perhaps thinking about the fact she was making a

00:25:48.840 lot of money for doing a pretty bad job it turns out taking this literally they went out and decided

00:25:54.680 of all days yesterday which is a couple weeks past it to change the wendy's logo on social media

00:26:00.340 to give the wendy's girl gray hair wow wendy's rupa is really standing in solidarity with lisa laflam

00:26:07.200 there i just can't believe this well yeah i mean it is it's just virtue signaling right um and um

00:26:14.580 it's tokenism does it actually help lisa laflam at the end of the day um you know i i don't know what

00:26:22.180 what what exactly um is the goal behind this sort of thing i often see this as uh tokenism but

00:26:30.320 uh you know and i'm just quickly checking to see some of the comments um um and uh several people

00:26:36.920 pointed out the fact that um you know if if if several people were asking wendy's if they've

00:26:42.820 removed their advertising from bell media exactly that's a great point that would actually hold more

00:26:49.220 weight uh you know in terms of making a difference but uh um but you know i mean anybody can change

00:26:56.180 their display picture and uh and virtue signaling and which cheap uh talk is cheap but um you know

00:27:02.260 are they actually going to do something about this uh and uh and and here the you know what people are

00:27:09.220 asking is have you removed your advertising from bell media and that's a i think that's a fair question

00:27:13.520 um and uh yeah at the end of the day i you know i i certainly don't you know think that this is this

00:27:20.060 kind of thing does nothing at the end of the day it's just it's it's just it's just virtue it's just

00:27:25.580 weird cringe sort of classic classic corporate media attempts at trying to ride a bandwagon

00:27:31.960 and uh it's just very bizarre and i think i mean they have 13 000 likes so people i guess like it but

00:27:38.160 there's some good comments here and there's some good mockery on it too so what a way to wrap us up
