The Candice Malcolm Show - The Candice Malcolm Show： The police arrest the wrong protesters

00:00:00.000 The Trudeau government pays the media to write biased news articles about global warming,

00:00:04.560 a terrorist gets to live a cozy life at a halfway house in Calgary,

00:00:08.060 and the police have it all backwards in arresting the wrong protesters when it comes to the pipeline

00:00:12.900 debate. Plus, we'll talk about fake news of the week. I'm Candace Malcolm, and this is The Candace

00:00:17.340 Malcolm Show. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the program. Thank you so much for tuning in. Once

00:00:27.120 again, we are audio only. This week, we'll still have video clips, but I am not in my studio,

00:00:31.940 so I am unable to come to you via video, but we will be continuing to put out the podcast

00:00:36.740 as an audio only version for the time being. So thank you for tuning in. If you're new to

00:00:42.720 the show, don't forget to check out tnc.news. That is our news site where you can stay up

00:00:47.980 to date with all the latest in Canadian news, politics, and everything else that's going

00:00:52.680 on in the country. And for the show, let's get right to it because we've got a couple

00:00:57.420 of really interesting stories to talk about today. Now, this isn't the fake news story

00:01:01.500 of the week. I've got other stories that are going to be the fake news, but this really

00:01:04.840 is fake news. This is government-sponsored, funded fake news, and this story is just really,

00:01:10.340 really wild. So this is an exclusive from Blacklock's Reporter, which is an investigative news site

00:01:15.540 focused on what's going on in Ottawa. So the headline says that the government pays for

00:01:21.760 climate news. This is just wild. The Department of Canadian Heritage is paying newsrooms to write

00:01:28.440 climate change stories. So there is a government fund. This is separate, by the way, from the $600

00:01:36.180 million government bailout that Justin Trudeau announced last fall. This is separate. This is

00:01:41.060 a different fund called the Local Journalism Initiative. The federal government hands out $50 million a year.

00:01:47.700 And the idea of this fund, which I'm totally opposed to, by the way, I think the government

00:01:52.860 has no business whatsoever being involved in the media. There is no way in a free society that you

00:01:58.740 should have the government funding journalism. There needs to be a separation. There is no way

00:02:03.360 that a journalist or a journalism organization can properly criticize and hold a government to account

00:02:09.040 if they are literally being paid by that government. It is fundamentally wrong,

00:02:14.640 and it makes it impossible for journalists to be honest and to be fair and to be neutral,

00:02:19.800 knowing where the bills are coming from, knowing how the bills are paid. So this is just a terrible

00:02:24.920 example. So this is a $50 million fund. Now, the idea of the fund was supposed to be strictly

00:02:30.040 local coverage of courts, city council, and school boards. So the idea is that the local newspaper can no

00:02:37.920 longer sustain itself. Those have been the hardest hit by the sort of change in the media landscape.

00:02:42.040 So no one's really holding local government to account in the same way that it used to.

00:02:46.460 So the federal government created this fund. However, however, somehow the funds were diverted

00:02:53.060 to write alarmist stories about climate change. So there are plenty of news stations of newspapers and

00:03:02.160 other media outlets that received this fund. And we know that they received it to write bias stories

00:03:07.080 about climate change to stir up alarmism, to create a panic over the situation with regards to

00:03:14.660 greenhouse gas emissions and the changing temperature of the planet. Now, if you look at

00:03:19.340 some of the recipients of this fund, this is not fair and balanced coverage. This is wildly alarmist,

00:03:25.520 alarmist, and quite partisan political coverage as well. So a publication called the Norwalk,

00:03:31.540 which is a White House periodical, wrote that, quote, it seems like British Columbia is always

00:03:36.780 on fire. The Norwalk tracks government commitment to climate change and separates the wheat from the

00:03:42.000 shaft. They also wrote a article with a headline, meet the Alberta climate activists who say they're

00:03:48.600 not scared of Jason Kenney. So there you have it, supposedly very neutral and worthy coverage,

00:03:55.180 worthy of your taxpayer dollars to go and write this alarmist nonsense. Now, of course,

00:04:00.820 this small newspaper is not alone. Perhaps the most shocking ones to receive funds from this

00:04:08.180 government slush fund are the Toronto Star and the Montreal Gazette, which were both also successful

00:04:16.180 applicants. Again, both of these newspapers are likely going to get access to the $600 million

00:04:21.700 government bailout. So just how many different pots do these journalists have their hands in? And how

00:04:27.380 are Canadians supposed to look at these two organizations now, the Montreal Gazette and the

00:04:31.780 Toronto Star, both mainstream newspapers, both very much, you know, supposedly the establishment

00:04:39.820 media? Now, I wonder, do you think that they disclosed the fact that they were getting paid by Justin

00:04:45.860 Trudeau's government to write the stories that they were writing? Do you think that there was a

00:04:49.200 disclosure at the bottom of the articles that they wrote when they were writing climate change

00:04:53.800 alarmism, that they said, you know, this money, the money for this article came from a Justin Trudeau

00:05:00.360 grant? Of course not. Of course not. Because the media is incredibly dishonest. The Toronto Star,

00:05:05.560 the Montreal Gazette, they do not want Canadians to know, they don't want their readers to know

00:05:09.580 that they're actually being paid to write these articles, being paid by the government. They're

00:05:14.620 basically lobbyists being paid by the government to push a certain ideological position. It is wildly,

00:05:20.720 wildly dishonest. It is fake news. And honestly, if you're if you're reading those newspapers,

00:05:26.000 if you're a subscriber to those news, I don't know how you can trust the content that you're

00:05:31.300 receiving. How do you know that it's not sponsored content from some other third party? How do you

00:05:35.780 know that the article you're reading is not paid and sponsored by, you know, some corporate lobby

00:05:41.320 group, some foreign government, some other special interest group that they're just not telling you

00:05:45.420 about? It's it's it's just absolutely remarkable, the state of the media, you have people like

00:05:51.440 Justin Trudeau and people like his heritage minister, you know, talking a big game about how

00:05:57.020 they believe in a free press, and they believe that newspapers and journalists are vital to a

00:06:01.760 democracy. Well, how can they say that, and at the same time, be creating a bias within the media by

00:06:08.520 paying reporters to write certain stories? It's it's it's wild. And, you know, sadly, it's just

00:06:15.660 what we've come to expect in Canadian journalism. We know they're very biased. We know they're very

00:06:19.840 left wing. We know they're very supportive of the Trudeau government. Well, now we know, you know,

00:06:23.500 a couple more puzzle pieces to put into the puzzle, because we see just how financially tied

00:06:29.440 the two groups are. All right, let's move on. This is another wild story. Terrible, terrible story.

00:06:34.700 Canada just does not know what it's doing. Canada under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau does not know

00:06:39.860 how to handle Islamist terrorists. We don't know what to do with them. We have no idea. We let people 1.00

00:06:46.120 who fought alongside ISIS come back into the country, some of whom have never been arrested. We take a 0.98

00:06:50.960 guy like Omar Khadr, a convicted al-Qaeda murderer and terrorist, someone who we've seen videos of him

00:06:56.620 building and planting roadside bombs, IEDs in Afghanistan, a person who is part of an al-Qaeda,

00:07:03.080 basically royal family. His father was close friends with Osama bin Laden, helped finance

00:07:07.880 9-11. And yet Omar Khadr gets a standing ovation at an event in Halifax. You have to check out my

00:07:15.260 colleague Andrew Lawton's coverage of this event in Halifax. It is so disturbing. It is so sad what

00:07:21.340 our country has become and how we treat a convicted terrorist and murderer compared to how we treat

00:07:27.300 veterans, how we treat people who have actually gone and fought against people like Omar Khadr, put

00:07:32.180 their lives at risk and sometimes made huge sacrifices to protect us from the Omar Khadr's 1.00

00:07:38.320 of the world. And yet we give, in Canada, Omar Khadr gets a standing ovation. Justin Trudeau gives

00:07:44.780 the guy $10 million. He's flying first class. He's flying first class. And meanwhile, there are homeless

00:07:51.260 vets sleeping on the streets. It's just awful how backwards we have it. Now, that's not the story I

00:07:56.040 want to talk about. But this is just another symptom of the same problem. So this is a story

00:08:01.460 that comes to us from the Ottawa Sun. There's also a story on tnc.news that you can check out now.

00:08:08.880 Here it is. ISIS terrorist living in Calgary despite being an exceptional threat to public safety.

00:08:16.260 So this guy Carlos Lamon was sent to jail in 2016 after trying to leave Canada to fight for ISIS.

00:08:22.380 He is an ISIS sympathizer and a wannabe terrorist from Ottawa. Now, this guy is just a real loser. 0.99

00:08:28.920 I'm going to I'm just going to say it flat out. He is a total loser. Him and his twin brother 1.00

00:08:32.540 were basically like low level drug dealers in Ottawa, just total losers. And then they just they 0.98

00:08:39.740 discovered ISIS. They converted to Islam and they became lunatics. I mean, they were probably lunatics 0.99

00:08:45.960 beforehand, but they tried to go and they tried to leave Canada. They did leave Canada, sorry. And they 0.95

00:08:51.560 tried to fight for ISIS. So this guy Carlos, he was arrested in 2015. When he was trying to get on a

00:08:57.760 plane to join ISIS, he went to prison. And while in prison, he was accused of trying to radicalize

00:09:03.320 other inmates. He spent time in a special handling unit, which is the most maximum security of the

00:09:09.700 prisons in Canada because of the danger that he posed to others. And one parole member described

00:09:14.700 Lormand's threat level as exceptional. He posed an exceptional threat to Canada's public safety.

00:09:20.900 OK, yet somehow this guy is living in Calgary. He's living in a halfway house. He has a great deal 0.99

00:09:28.520 of freedom. This is everything that's wrong with Canada's justice system and the way that we handle

00:09:34.100 basically people who commit treason, traitors, people who try to join the enemy, who want to join

00:09:40.140 the enemy and killing and bringing down Western civilization. It's, again, this is, what can you

00:09:47.220 even say about a story like this? Like, like everything that Canada is doing when it comes to

00:09:51.780 combating Islamist terrorism, combating ISIS, dealing with all of those young people, young men and women

00:09:57.060 who left Canada, sort of the height of ISIS propaganda when, when they were dominating on social

00:10:02.860 media and the world didn't really know how to handle it. I'm talking about 2014, 2015. A bunch of

00:10:08.060 people left Canada, went over there. Estimates are that around 160, maybe 200 people went over to

00:10:16.320 join ISIS. Some of them were killed. Some of them disappeared. Some of them might have gone back

00:10:20.740 to, you know, their home or original Islamic country that they were originally from. And, you know,

00:10:27.380 some of them are now trying to get back into Canada. There was one story that was told through a New

00:10:32.540 York Times podcast called Caliphate about a guy who was living with his parents in a Toronto suburb

00:10:40.460 going to a Canadian university. So he was going to a publicly subsidized university after he had

00:10:46.940 admitted to going and fighting for ISIS. He not only fought for ISIS, he was an executioner. He described

00:10:52.800 in detail in this podcast about how he murdered people, how he tortured people, how he was an imposer

00:10:59.920 of Sharia law. And yet this guy is just living in Canada. Well, this is a similar case. So when it 0.86

00:11:07.600 comes to this guy, Lamond, he basically after credit for time served in pre-custody, he was sentenced to

00:11:14.820 five years back in 2016, but he was freed under a law that requires federal offenders to be released

00:11:20.880 after serving two thirds of a fixed sentence. In the statutory release law, the offenders served the rest of

00:11:26.580 their sentence in the community. So that's what's happening now. That's what's happening now. The

00:11:31.080 release was not granted by the parole board, though it has power to impose these conditions. But in

00:11:37.120 Lamond's case, the parole board stipulated that he live at a halfway house with a curfew and no overnight

00:11:43.360 privileges. He has to submit to police checks to review his phone for its search history. If he does

00:11:49.640 not breach these conditions, he's scheduled to release be released next year in 2021. So you know,

00:11:55.100 the guy gets a slap on the wrist. He goes to prison. He's violent. He's trying to convert people. 0.81

00:12:00.040 He is a just completely brainwashed in the Islamic extremism, as is his twin brother, who is named 0.67

00:12:09.040 Ashton, who is similarly arrested in Ottawa around the same time. He was sentenced to 17 years in prison.

00:12:15.940 So the RCMP's case against the twins involved wiretap and informant provided body wire evidence.

00:12:22.140 The evidence revealed in particular, disturbing thoughts and plans by Ashton, the group's leader.

00:12:28.380 So I mean, these guys, these guys were just full on ISIS terrorists are talking about how they would

00:12:33.000 plan attacks, how they would kill people if they were, if they were leading the attacks, they talked 0.73

00:12:37.960 about how they hate infidels and how they also hate imams who promote modern Islam or more secular, 0.97

00:12:46.040 peaceful versions of Islam. And basically, that these just guys just wanted to, you know, join ISIS 0.60

00:12:53.820 and kill everyone, kill Canadians. And yet we have this guy living in a halfway house. You know, 1.00

00:13:01.440 this is just an example of how Canada under Justin Trudeau does not take the threat of terrorism

00:13:06.020 seriously. Justin Trudeau believes that every terrorist is just, you know, someone with hurt feelings

00:13:12.760 who've been misunderstood. And all they need is to go into therapy, to go into counseling,

00:13:17.800 to basically to be given a big hug and, you know, hug it out, say you're sorry, and then you can come

00:13:23.240 back and join society. You know, he's just wildly naive when it comes to the ideology that drives

00:13:31.580 terrorism, the ideology that recruits young men into this. You know, this isn't just a feeling of

00:13:37.200 being left out. This is truly, truly an evil worldview that is based on domination, is based

00:13:43.960 on dominating the world, accumulating power and asserting that power over others, and based on

00:13:51.100 theocratic worldview and adhering to sort of, you know, 7th century ideals about the world. So

00:13:59.000 very backwards way of thinking. And again, Justin Trudeau and his Canadian, the Canadian federal

00:14:04.580 government is just so naive in the way that we deal with terrorists. All right, let's move on. I've

00:14:10.600 been covering this on the show recently. There's been all kinds of demonstrations across the entire

00:14:15.340 country about the coastal gas link pipeline. So just to bring it up to speed, the pipeline has been

00:14:21.840 approved, but the chiefs of the Wet'suwet'en tribe, the hereditary chiefs, are opposed to it. So they have

00:14:28.380 been doing a sort of strike trying to block the pipeline, and there have been sort of solidarity

00:14:33.900 protests across the country in really just the worst kind of ways. I mean, if you really want to turn

00:14:39.180 public opinion against your cause, block the via rail, block the train between Montreal, Ottawa,

00:14:46.480 and Toronto. They blocked it between Ottawa and Toronto, which just completely ruined so many people's

00:14:51.460 commute, their ability to go to work, to see their families, to go on vacation. I mean, all the things

00:14:57.240 that the country relies on, just being able to transport things and move. These protesters blocked the

00:15:03.720 via rail pipeline, causing just absolute chaos in and around Toronto. That's really, you know,

00:15:09.140 the easiest way just to turn everyday people, everyday Canadians against your cause. Well,

00:15:14.200 there were more of these sort of barriers and roadblocks. One incident that is sort of making

00:15:19.520 the rounds on social media was a group of protesters who blocked a highway. So they blocked exit 117 of

00:15:28.660 Highway 19 on Vancouver Island near Courtney. So this is the Inland Island Highway. This is a major freeway

00:15:34.180 that takes you from Victoria all the way up to Nanaimo, then up to Courtney and Campbell River. So, I mean,

00:15:40.060 this is like a major trucking road, a major through fare. And a bunch of protesters decided, hey, let's block

00:15:48.220 this highway, let's block the exit as a way to sort of show solidarity, solidarity with these fringe

00:15:57.360 protesters with the fringe hand, small handful of members of this First Nations community that

00:16:04.700 oppose the pipeline. And so basically, I'll show the video because it's pretty wild. So you have

00:16:11.060 these sort of Antifa type protesters who have blocked the freeway. And then a couple of sort of

00:16:17.680 counter protesters, I would call them like good Samaritans or pro Canadians who showed up and decided

00:16:24.320 to, you know, enough is enough and remove the garbage that was blocking the exit, remove it,

00:16:31.120 kind of let the road open back up again. And it's just wild. It's just wild because the police end up

00:16:38.580 arresting the man who was clearing the blockade. So if in Canada right now, this is the state of the world

00:16:46.740 in 2020 under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. If you block a freeway, a major freeway that's preventing

00:16:53.880 people from again, going home from work, seeing their families getting to their loved ones, you

00:16:59.580 know, maybe getting to going to who knows what what things people would have missed because of these

00:17:05.400 blockades, unable to, you know, make it to an important birthday party, unable to make it to school

00:17:10.480 to write an important test, unable to make it to an important sporting event, a grandparent's birthday,

00:17:15.680 the birth of a baby. I mean, you could just imagine all of the different scenarios that have been

00:17:20.280 prevented because of these protesters who don't respect the rule of law. They don't respect Canadian

00:17:25.720 society. And they're basically having a temper tantrum, basically having a temper tantrum saying,

00:17:31.360 no, no, no, none of you can do all the things that you want to do in your life that in a free society

00:17:36.040 you expect to be able to do. No, no, no, you can't do that because I don't like what other people are

00:17:40.900 doing and how other people are, I don't like the jobs that other people have because of my beliefs

00:17:46.620 about climate change. I mean, I mean, really just the height of just a lack of gratitude

00:17:52.240 and total spoiled, spoiled brat syndrome. And so people create the barricade, someone comes and

00:17:59.240 says enough is enough, I'm going to take it down. And the person who takes it down is the one that

00:18:03.960 gets arrested. The police have it all backwards. It's just so disturbing to see this happen that,

00:18:10.800 you know, the rule of law is supposed to triumph. The rule of law is supposed to be the trump card.

00:18:14.980 At the end of the day, we all follow the same laws as how we live in a society. But here we have people

00:18:19.460 breaking law. They get rewarded. Nothing bad happens to them. Someone who's kind of trying to take it on

00:18:24.680 themselves to say, no, no, no, this freeway needs to be open. We need to allow cars to go through.

00:18:30.040 That's the person that gets arrested. Let's play this clip. So it's sort of a long clip. I'll walk

00:18:34.200 you through parts of it. It's a two minute clip. I'm going to play the whole thing, but I'll break it up

00:18:37.420 and just explain things throughout. So the first little bit here, you can just see the sort of

00:18:42.260 the blockade that has been created. It kind of just looks like a campsite with a bunch of garbage.

00:18:47.380 And you can see the sort of crazy fringe signs that these individuals have. It says no pipelines.

00:18:53.320 And then the other one says, it says no justice on stolen land. And they basically just have like,

00:18:58.900 you know, a bunch of tires, you know, tents, bikes, bags, just a bunch of garbage, basically,

00:19:06.460 blocking the road and sort of doing this political theater, but, you know, also preventing people from

00:19:12.600 just going about their lives, because they're blocking a major freeway. And then these guys show

00:19:17.700 up. And well, first, you can see a truck just sort of, you know, drive right through it, a guy in a

00:19:24.640 pickup truck, just sort of plow right through their dumb little sign. And they, you know, they get upset 0.97

00:19:30.780 and whatever, but the guy wants to go on his way. And then we come back. And we see these other guys.

00:19:37.120 And they're just, you know, enough is enough picking up the garbage and throwing it on the

00:19:41.140 side of the road. There's a group of them. And they've got masks on too. And you can see the RCMP

00:19:47.160 kind of following them around, talking to them.

00:19:55.500 So here they get into a little bit of a debate where the police officer says, you know, it's not

00:20:12.720 as simple as you think. If it was simple, we would have solved it already. Well, I actually

00:20:16.760 think it is pretty simple. You know, you have these people that are protesting, but they're also

00:20:21.660 blocking a critical piece of infrastructure on Vancouver Island, a major freeway that connects

00:20:27.020 two cities. So, you know, it's pretty simple. You just arrest the protesters. You stop them

00:20:32.600 from doing their little political show. You say, okay, you know, you made your point. You can't do

00:20:37.040 this anymore. You can't disrupt people from going about their lives and arrest those people. But no,

00:20:41.580 no, the police say, oh, it's complicated. I mean, what's so complicated about it? What's so

00:20:45.400 complicated about it? Let's keep playing this.

00:21:01.300 All right. Then you see the same protesters coming back out and once again, blocking the highway.

00:21:10.760 They have tires. They have wooden pallets that they've built up. And so the guy goes once again,

00:21:16.820 the same guy that goes once again to try to clear the road to allow vehicles to go through. And that's

00:21:22.520 when the police officer, I guess, says enough is enough. And this is where he arrests them. This

00:21:26.460 is just shocking. So the guy that gets arrested here, you can see he has a shirt on that says,

00:21:45.520 I support BC forestry. So, you know, again, this is probably just a working guy, a guy that's own

00:21:52.120 livelihood is being threatened by the far left fringe environmentalists who, again, get the

00:21:56.880 heckler's veto and get to run amok and really, really destroy, potentially destroy his personal

00:22:04.100 livelihood, but destroy so many people's livelihoods because they don't personally believe in, you know,

00:22:10.240 working people having resource jobs. They don't believe in the resources, even though they're all

00:22:14.260 hypocrites, because, of course, they all consume, you know, in this case, it's an oil pipeline. So they, 0.93

00:22:19.160 of course, all consume the products that are produced through petroleum. And this is kind of

00:22:24.600 amusing because she's saying, one of the protesters are saying, don't touch my sacred items. Don't touch

00:22:30.520 my sacred items. Well, I'm sorry, if these items were truly sacred, then why would you put them on

00:22:35.120 the freeway? I mean, I mean, if you had items that you believe were sacred, sacred, you know, not just

00:22:40.480 like personally important or valuable or whatever, but supposedly sacred, they're sacred. And yet you put

00:22:46.160 them on the middle of the freeway and you expect no one to touch them. I mean, these people are just

00:22:49.740 so out of touch and so insane. And yet the police are arresting the wrong person. They're arresting

00:22:56.540 the wrong person. And again, this is the problem in Canada. This is why we can't have nice things.

00:23:00.900 This is why we can't get anything done because you have the RCP. Now, I don't blame this individual

00:23:05.500 officer. You know, clearly he's just following orders. The problem is the orders. The problem is

00:23:11.380 the police, the higher ups in the RCMP have total wrong priority, the wrong focus. And so they

00:23:17.740 allow stuff like this to happen. They arrest what I see as a good Samaritan who is trying to clear the

00:23:22.020 freeway. And they allow the lunatic fringe left environmentalists, environmentalists and

00:23:27.980 protesters who are blocking infrastructure. They allow them to just carry right on. All right,

00:23:33.140 moving on, let's do fake news of the week. So this week, our fake news award goes to the CBC

00:23:39.360 and their coverage of the same issue, the coverage of the Wet'suwet'en hereditary chief's

00:23:45.480 protests against the coastal gas link pipeline, which is just been wildly, wildly one sided.

00:23:51.820 It's so bad that even a CBC reporter went on a different CBC show to talk about how biased

00:23:58.800 their own reporting has been on the topic. So I mentioned this during my show on Monday

00:24:04.320 about how the media just love to go to the small handful of First Nations protesters. And they like

00:24:11.440 to say, you know, these people represent the entire First Nations community in Canada. They're the worst 1.00

00:24:17.420 at this. And I'm not telling you the full story. The truth of the matter is that 20 elected First

00:24:22.740 Nation groups along the pipeline route have signed on to this pipeline. And they're actually eager

00:24:28.520 because of the benefit and the job opportunities of the pipeline. Now there have been so many people,

00:24:34.520 so many First Nations leaders and people who have spoken out to say, no, no, no, this pipeline is

00:24:39.820 vital. It's important. The jobs, the opportunities, the hope that it creates, the benefits will lift so

00:24:45.740 many communities out of poverty. So don't listen to sort of the squeaky wheel, which is the protest,

00:24:52.200 the chiefs that are protesting, you know, listen to the broader community, go out and talk to First

00:24:57.060 Nations people. And there's so many really powerful moving clips that I found on social media. I'm going

00:25:02.360 to play part of one in a moment here. But first, let me just read some of these headlines that have

00:25:08.420 come from the CBC. So if you read the CBC, if you consume your media from the state broadcaster,

00:25:14.860 you would see headlines like this. Winnipeg protesters lock arms in support of Wet'suwet'en

00:25:20.780 fighting BC pipelines, arrests in Wet'suwet'en territory, spark nationwide solidarity protests

00:25:28.160 and support for the Wet'suwet'en sparks nationwide action. Now the problem is that that just because

00:25:36.000 a few people from this community protest against it doesn't even mean that that entire Wet'suwet'en

00:25:40.440 community is against the pipeline. Because as I showed in the last episode, so many people from

00:25:45.500 that community, including leaders within that community, support the pipeline. And so, as I

00:25:50.640 mentioned, it's been so bad. It's been so biased over at the CBC that their own reporter had to

00:25:56.260 reluctantly point it out. So here is John Paul Tasker speaking to Vassi Capellos on CBC.

00:26:03.320 I just want to be careful about painting First Nations people as a monolith, as a block that just all stand 1.00

00:26:09.120 against any sort of development. I think we tend to do that in the news media, to go to one group and

00:26:13.820 think that it represents a larger community. As Nagan mentioned, all the Indian Act ban councils,

00:26:19.380 all 20 of them in the area supported this. Whether that's legitimate or not, maybe it's

00:26:23.360 to be debated. But they had referendums in some of these communities. People had a chance to vote,

00:26:28.420 and many of them stood on the side of supporting coastal gas. This is not just something that

00:26:32.880 their leadership came up with. It also went to the people to make a call. Not to discount the

00:26:38.000 hereditary chiefs and their role in all this, but the courts and federal government, the provincial

00:26:41.420 governments are turning to the elected ban councils for guidance on all this. That's why the BC 0.76

00:26:46.400 Superior Court issued that injunction in the first place, because they said that we have to rely on

00:26:51.480 what the ban councils have done, not on these hereditary chiefs. And that's why they're hauling 0.90

00:26:55.800 people away from this site. Wow, that is some shocking honesty. Shocking honesty. You don't usually

00:27:00.800 see that kind of honesty and self-reflection over at the CBC. So I'll hand it to John Paul Tasker for

00:27:07.940 at least being honest about it. But I mean, if you just go through the actual coverage that CBC has

00:27:13.360 been pumping out, they're not listening to the advice of that reporter. They are doing exactly

00:27:18.240 what he says that the media shouldn't do, which is, you know, taking a few people and presuming that

00:27:23.520 they represent the entire group when we know that they don't. We have plenty of plenty of evidence

00:27:28.000 showing that they do not represent the broader group, that First Nations people support the pipeline.

00:27:33.100 Here is a courageous Indigenous leader called Ellis Bross, who really has the courage to speak

00:27:39.700 up. He does a series of sort of selfie videos from his car. And, you know, he's just really fed up

00:27:46.780 with the people who are proclaiming to speak for Aboriginal people, because as he points out,

00:27:52.020 they don't really care about what happens to young people who won't have any hope, won't have any

00:27:57.380 economic opportunities if these projects continue to get delayed and shut down by protesters, by the

00:28:03.280 fringe far-left environmentalists. So let's listen to this. This is a really powerful, powerful speech

00:28:08.320 that he gave about what happens to young men when there aren't economic opportunities.

00:28:12.960 I can guarantee you right now, there's a 14-year-old Aboriginal kid that's taking his first drink 0.99

00:28:18.940 alcohol. He's sucking on his first joint. He's going to maybe go into cocaine. He's going to do 0.98

00:28:26.240 something. And he's on his way to prison. That's his roadmap. If you save that kid, if you show that

00:28:33.220 kid there's a better future out there, get him into a trade, or get him to a course, or show him a

00:28:37.880 work site, and show him there's a better future in terms of getting a house, a job, going on vacation,

00:28:43.200 buying a truck, you've done your job. I guarantee you those activists and those politicians

00:28:48.520 that are going to stop the development in your territory, they do not care about that 14-year-old

00:28:53.920 kid. They do not care. They could care less. So that is a very powerful message from Ellis

00:29:00.000 Brock, and that's the kind of voice that the media is just not showing. They're not showing

00:29:03.580 these voices of people in the First Nations community that have had enough with the protesters,

00:29:08.760 had enough with the fringe far-left environmentalists who have just taken the entire system hostage,

00:29:13.820 made us all into pawns, made it seem like they speak for all Aboriginals and all First Nations 0.91

00:29:19.460 people. Well, they really don't. The media should show the full side of the story, which would include

00:29:23.680 more voices, more brave voices like Ellis Brock. You know, at least the CBC, at least one reporter

00:29:29.260 in the CBC realizes it. But you really can't trust the CBC to provide a fair and balanced perspective

00:29:34.960 on this issue. I mean, it's getting pretty bleak in Canada, folks. You look at the newspapers,

00:29:40.240 they're in the bag, in the pockets of Justin Trudeau. He's paying them left, right and center.

00:29:44.900 If it's not his media bailout fund, it's this ridiculous global warming fund that they put

00:29:49.420 together. And then when it comes to, you know, pushing forward for the sort of major infrastructure

00:29:54.820 projects in the country, whether it is the new tech frontier mine up in Fort McMurray that the

00:30:01.720 government is flip-flopping about whether or not they're going to allow it to be built, or this

00:30:05.020 pipeline, which is kind of just creating this mass hysteria and these fringe protesters who are

00:30:10.020 pretending to speak for entire communities that they really don't speak for. You know, and then you

00:30:15.300 have the CBC only telling one side of the story. It's pretty bleak out there. There are not a lot of

00:30:19.840 trustworthy news sites, which is why, again, I thank you for tuning into this podcast. Thank you for

00:30:25.080 supporting True North. And don't forget to check out all of our news up there at tnc.com.
