The Candice Malcolm Show - The legacy media condemns mean tweets

00:00:00.000 The bailout group Think Media condemns mean tweets, Canadian media failed trends on Twitter

00:00:04.980 for the stupidest reasons, and the Laurentian elite punditry has turned on Prime Minister

00:00:10.000 Justin Trudeau.

00:00:10.800 It's Fake News Friday.

00:00:11.560 I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.

00:00:18.780 Everyone, thank you so much for tuning into the show.

00:00:21.020 It's Fake News Friday.

00:00:21.940 This is the show where we break apart the media narrative, where we tell you how the

00:00:27.660 mainstream media is decepting you, how they are misleading you.

00:00:30.920 We point out fake news reports out there, and we really just deconstruct the Canadian media

00:00:36.220 scene to talk about all the various problems.

00:00:39.220 And look, we have a media situation in Canada where the overwhelming majority of legacy media

00:00:45.120 outlets are paid for or subsidized by the federal government.

00:00:49.120 This is such a conflict of interest on the most basic level.

00:00:52.640 It's surprising that anyone stands for it.

00:00:54.980 Anyone, especially, you know, you have a legacy media that is full of people who went to journalism

00:00:59.300 school, people who believe in journalism ethics, people who stand and uphold the value of their

00:01:04.920 profession and talk about how necessary it is that we have independent journalists in the

00:01:09.340 country while also turning around hat in hand and asking for a bailout from the government

00:01:14.560 or lobbying the government for their own special interests or really just pushing advocacy as

00:01:19.660 opposed to journalism.

00:01:20.360 The line between advocacy and journalism has never been more blurred.

00:01:24.520 And look, here at True North, you know that we take strong opinions on issues.

00:01:29.000 We have an entire news division that is fact-based, that presents both sides of the story, that

00:01:34.380 presents the news as it is.

00:01:36.120 And then we have an editorial position, and you see that editorial position come through on

00:01:40.100 shows like the Candace Malcolm show.

00:01:41.880 You know that we are small-c conservatives.

00:01:44.140 We believe in conservative principles and ideals.

00:01:46.660 And we're upfront about that.

00:01:47.660 You know that when you're watching TNC, when you're watching the Candace Malcolm show, when

00:01:50.820 you're on True North, you know that you are getting conservative opinion and fact-based

00:01:55.140 news.

00:01:55.580 Whereas when you go to the legacy media outlets, you are getting left-wing spin.

00:02:00.060 You are getting pro-liberal worldview.

00:02:01.900 But you're not being told that.

00:02:02.920 You're being told that you're delivered the news in a completely neutral, unbiased way,

00:02:07.420 which is simply not true.

00:02:08.800 I wish more journalists would just be honest about who they are, who they vote for, what they

00:02:12.580 believe, and then they can deliver the news.

00:02:14.440 And at least we will be being honest about all of this.

00:02:16.880 But I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.

00:02:19.460 So look, if you're watching this on YouTube right now, please like this video.

00:02:54.100 episode.

00:02:54.660 So first, I want to point your attention to this news release and this tweet that was

00:02:57.780 put out by CBC Radio Canada.

00:03:00.040 So it says this, in the wake of the heinous and threatening messages sent to journalists from

00:03:05.700 different media companies, we are joining forces with other Canadian press organizations to denounce

00:03:11.100 hate, threats, and online harassments.

00:03:14.100 Hashtag not okay.

00:03:15.900 Hashtag journalist safety.

00:03:17.760 And then it goes to a news release.

00:03:19.160 And we see this little graphic here that shows us all of the various news agencies that are

00:03:24.300 involved in this statement.

00:03:25.620 So let me just go through them all because it pretty much represents the entirety of the

00:03:30.800 legacy media in Canada, and then a handful of sort of fringe, independent, far left or

00:03:36.560 leftist news organizations.

00:03:38.320 So here we have, it starts with APTN, which is the Aboriginal People's Television Network.

00:03:43.000 Next, we have Canada's National Observer, which is a fringe, far left, anti-Canadian energy

00:03:48.300 outlet, activism journalism over there.

00:03:50.880 Next, we have the Narwhal, which is something so small and inconsequential.

00:03:54.180 I imagine that no one watching the show has ever even seen this outlet, but nevertheless,

00:03:59.280 it's included here.

00:04:00.340 Next, we have Bell Media, which owns CTV and a number of other radio stations.

00:04:04.080 Next, we have the Canadian Association of Black Journalists.

00:04:07.900 Then we have Canada Land, which is a leftist media outlet that sort of does media criticism.

00:04:14.060 And sometimes they just sort of, for no reason, go after people like me.

00:04:18.420 Next, we have Chorus, who owns a bunch of radio stations.

00:04:20.640 CBC Radio Canada, the biggest media company in the country that gets $1.2 billion from

00:04:25.620 the taxpayers.

00:04:26.800 La Presse, which is a large French news service.

00:04:29.520 Canadian Press, which is a Canadian wire service.

00:04:31.460 So their stories appear in newspapers and websites across the country.

00:04:35.800 We have La Presse Canadienne.

00:04:37.900 The Walrus, which is a left-wing magazine that has a very, very small circulation and gets

00:04:42.120 almost all of its money from the government.

00:04:44.360 Quebec Corps, another French media station.

00:04:46.540 Post Media, which owns the National Post, a bunch of the regional Post Media papers,

00:04:50.780 as well as Sun Media.

00:04:52.740 And we have the Globe and Mail.

00:04:54.180 So we have Torstar, which owns the Toronto Star and all of its regional affiliate papers.

00:04:58.040 We have the Canadian Association of Journalists, the Canadian Journalism Foundation,

00:05:02.280 and the Federation of Quebec Journalists.

00:05:04.400 So again, pretty much every member of the legacy media here, as well as the fringe lefty

00:05:10.240 ones I count, National Observer, Narwhal, Canadaland, and Walrus, all included.

00:05:16.420 So let's see what this is all about.

00:05:18.380 You click on the news release here.

00:05:19.920 It says,

00:05:20.360 A strong, diverse media is vital for a well-informed democratic society.

00:05:24.560 While criticism is an integral part of journalism and democracy, there can be no tolerance for

00:05:29.360 hate and harassment of journalists, or for incitement of attacks on journalists for doing

00:05:34.020 their job.

00:05:34.840 These attacks in orderly target women and racialized journalists. 1.00

00:05:38.940 I don't know exactly what racialized means, but that speaks to the motivation of the people

00:05:44.280 engaging in this behavior.

00:05:46.000 We are united in supporting our journalists and newsrooms against those who seek to silence

00:05:51.660 their stories and threaten their safety together.

00:05:54.140 We will continue to advocate for industry-wide response to end this behavior, which I guess

00:05:59.740 is probably alluding to the fact that all of these media outlets support the proposed

00:06:04.500 online harm legislation that is coming from the Trudeau liberals.

00:06:08.560 And Stéphane Guilbault, who was the heritage minister.

00:06:11.780 I'm not sure if he'll be the heritage minister again after this election, but here we see

00:06:15.800 again all the lists of all of the media outlets that condemn this hate.

00:06:20.400 So they don't exactly give us any examples.

00:06:22.400 I know there have been some screenshots of emails that some journalists have been getting circulating

00:06:27.020 on social media.

00:06:28.400 Some pretty vicious stuff.

00:06:30.100 But obviously, you know, when we're talking about incitement of attacks or threats of violence,

00:06:35.040 it's already illegal in this country.

00:06:36.680 And so the fact that they're trying to advocate for an industry-wide reaction to end this behavior.

00:06:43.080 Look, I get it.

00:06:43.800 I'm a journalist.

00:06:44.440 I'm a woman.

00:06:44.880 I'm online.

00:06:45.480 I'm pretty outspoken when it comes to my opinions online.

00:06:48.260 And I have been for many, many years.

00:06:50.320 And I totally get it.

00:06:51.460 I get some pretty, pretty vicious attacks on social media.

00:06:55.940 But guess what?

00:06:56.760 I don't let it bother me.

00:06:58.000 I don't really read my hate mail.

00:07:00.040 I don't read my mean tweets.

00:07:01.080 I don't let them bother me when I get a nasty email in my inbox.

00:07:04.200 I usually just delete it without fully reading it.

00:07:06.560 And I don't let it bother me because people just want to blow off steam.

00:07:10.520 We live in a free society.

00:07:11.680 Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

00:07:13.780 I don't have to let it bother me.

00:07:15.100 I don't have to get upset about it.

00:07:16.580 Some women receive a mean tweet or a mean email, and they want to share it to show the 1.00

00:07:20.700 kind of abuse that they get.

00:07:21.680 Maybe, maybe other people aren't aware of this.

00:07:23.980 Look, I have done in the past where I've gotten something nasty and I've decided to share

00:07:27.200 it just to show people a little bit of what's going on.

00:07:30.020 But the idea that all of these journalists are kind of coming together to condemn this

00:07:34.000 behavior, I don't know if it's specifically about those handful of mean emails that were

00:07:38.880 circulating or whether this is in relation to Maxine Bernier, who the media accused of

00:07:44.040 doxing a couple of journalists.

00:07:45.420 And I went through this on Fake News Friday a couple of weeks ago.

00:07:48.100 He didn't dox anybody.

00:07:49.340 He shared their publicly available emails.

00:07:51.740 Twitter took that down.

00:07:52.860 And this was all in response because a bunch of journalists decided to smear Maxine Bernier 0.98

00:07:57.120 in the People's Party of Canada saying that they're Nazis, saying that they're white

00:08:00.080 nationalists.

00:08:01.120 And Maxine Bernier just simply had enough of it, called them out on their BS. 1.00

00:08:04.480 And because of it, they sort of all sniveled and whined and pretended that it was some

00:08:08.420 kind of an attack on democracy.

00:08:10.560 Here, we even see that kind of language in this tweet.

00:08:13.460 It's sort of silly.

00:08:14.140 In the wake of heinous and threatening messages, I'm sorry, the definition of heinous is something

00:08:19.520 like beyond belief.

00:08:20.860 You know, when you think of a heinous act, you usually think something like a school shooting

00:08:25.160 or someone murdering their family.

00:08:26.700 You don't think of someone writing a mean tweet, writing a nasty email.

00:08:30.960 And look, I admit that this kind of stuff does exist out there.

00:08:33.600 I've seen it.

00:08:34.100 I've been the victim of it.

00:08:35.340 But I wouldn't describe it as heinous.

00:08:37.000 And I think that this reaction by all these journalists to put their names together, put

00:08:40.900 their logos together, and sort of what, create a united fight.

00:08:44.360 First of all, how come they didn't include anyone from the Independent Press Gallery of

00:08:47.880 Canada?

00:08:48.180 I see, like I said, all the legacy media who all, more or less, all lean left or far left.

00:08:52.800 And then they also had to go out and find four independent left-wing outlets on there.

00:08:57.220 And I say independent very loosely because a lot of them do receive money from the federal

00:09:01.300 government.

00:09:01.620 So they're not really independent.

00:09:02.920 They're just not the establishment legacy media.

00:09:06.220 Why not reach out to True North and ask if we wanted to be a part of this?

00:09:09.480 Why not reach out to anyone in the Independent Press Gallery?

00:09:12.060 There are a whole bunch of right-of-center or conservative independent media outlets.

00:09:16.140 None of us are included.

00:09:16.960 They don't really consider us journalists.

00:09:18.300 That's the thing.

00:09:18.880 That's the kicker.

00:09:19.580 They don't really consider us journalists.

00:09:20.940 They're journalists.

00:09:22.180 We're not.

00:09:22.760 They're allowed to push advocacy.

00:09:24.120 We're not.

00:09:24.780 They're allowed to have an ideological worldview and values that they present.

00:09:28.360 They're allowed to be activists.

00:09:29.660 We're not.

00:09:30.420 Which is why we see such a double standard.

00:09:32.420 When anyone on the left, any journalist in legacy media gets any kind of a threat, it's a huge

00:09:37.420 big deal, and everybody stops and comes together and rallies behind them.

00:09:41.120 When any of this kind of stuff happens, for instance, to Sheila Gunn-Reed over at the Rebel,

00:09:44.980 when she's denied entry into a press conference, or when she gets punched in the face at a woman's 1.00

00:09:49.720 rally in Edmonton, none of these journalists say anything.

00:09:53.640 They were nowhere to be found to defend Sheila when that happened.

00:09:56.860 In fact, a lot of them were accusing Sheila of being the one at fault.

00:10:00.680 Similarly, when my colleague, Sue Ann Levy, went to a rally and her photographer or cameraman

00:10:07.120 was assaulted, nobody said anything, nobody cared.

00:10:11.160 And for myself, I was the victim of a series of death threats.

00:10:14.860 I had to get the police involved.

00:10:16.180 This is when I was reporting on Kalistani extremists operating in Vancouver, who some

00:10:20.220 of them had connections to Jagmeet Singh, leader of the NDP.

00:10:23.160 I reported it as part of the investigative journalism that I was doing at the time.

00:10:27.680 And in response, I got a series of death threats.

00:10:30.100 I got some very serious, specific, credible threats, and they were also leaving things

00:10:35.240 at my house where I live with my family.

00:10:37.360 And so that's when I got the police involved.

00:10:39.360 I was pretty public about it happening.

00:10:41.180 Interestingly, the media in India were telling me that they supported me and reaching out

00:10:46.180 to make sure that I was okay.

00:10:47.880 And I didn't hear any kind of support.

00:10:50.660 I didn't see any of that from any of these organizations that are listed here today.

00:10:55.500 So let me just say that this is more about politics, more about lobbying for support of

00:11:00.940 the Trudeau government and pushing their what's to come.

00:11:04.600 You know, the Trudeau government's attempts to censor the internet.

00:11:08.300 This is all just the media preposition and saying that they support this kind of measure.

00:11:13.240 And it's just whenever you see all the legacy media in lockstep agreeing on something, putting

00:11:18.440 a statement out like this, it's just there to be mocked.

00:11:21.500 And again, you know, you're allowed to criticize journalists.

00:11:24.700 No, you're not allowed to threaten them.

00:11:25.900 No, you're not allowed to incite violence against them, but you're allowed to hate them.

00:11:30.380 You're allowed to say mean and nasty things to people in our society.

00:11:34.380 It's rude and it's not something that I personally advocate for, but it is not illegal and we should

00:11:39.220 not make it illegal.

00:11:41.420 Moving on, I want to talk about this story.

00:11:43.800 I came online.

00:11:45.360 I usually don't come online on the weekend.

00:11:46.940 I'll just say my family, my husband and I have started doing a digital detox on the weekends.

00:11:51.900 So we try for most of the day to keep our phones away, turned off, and just especially

00:11:57.340 not go onto social media.

00:11:58.780 We want to be able to enjoy time with the kids.

00:12:01.040 We want to be present.

00:12:02.580 We want to enjoy our little kids at this stage.

00:12:05.940 And we don't want to be distracted by the phone.

00:12:07.880 And again, going on social media for me is more like work because of my job and I'm

00:12:12.980 constantly scanning the media.

00:12:15.080 So I usually don't go online.

00:12:16.600 I can't remember exactly why, but for some reason I went online last weekend and I saw

00:12:20.060 the hashtag Canadian media fail trending on Twitter.

00:12:23.400 I was amused because, you know, this is the theme of my show.

00:12:26.520 This is, I devoted an entire episode of the Cannons Malcolm show every week on Canadian

00:12:30.480 media fails.

00:12:31.220 So I just clicked on it to check out what was going on.

00:12:33.980 And I was a little surprised because it wasn't what I expected.

00:12:36.840 I expected it to be sort of conservative Twitter, you know, complaining about something that

00:12:41.200 the legacy media was doing, complaining about the CBC.

00:12:43.020 But actually, it was the exact opposite.

00:12:45.740 It was liberal Twitter who was angry that the media was covering the Tofino Beach holiday

00:12:50.740 story.

00:12:51.600 They thought that it was a nothing burger, that it was sort of an attack on Justin Trudeau's

00:12:55.640 privacy and his family and their ability to have a nice quiet weekend.

00:13:00.100 And I just thought that was sort of amusing that there are people on Twitter who believe

00:13:04.500 that the legacy media is what, like a right wing news organization is trying to take out

00:13:10.200 their guy, their Justin Trudeau, their hero.

00:13:12.920 And so it must be kind of embarrassing for all those people who are really pushing this

00:13:17.100 idea that it was this total fake story when the prime minister himself came out and apologized

00:13:21.220 earlier this week and said that he was wrong.

00:13:23.880 And now we're hearing all kinds of new revelations about the sketchy business dealings of the owner

00:13:28.940 of the house and the fact that he once lobbied the prime minister's office, lobbied Justin Trudeau

00:13:33.700 to enact legislation that Justin Trudeau eventually did.

00:13:37.060 It's really, really bad.

00:13:38.380 It's getting worse.

00:13:39.300 I devoted my entire show yesterday on this topic.

00:13:42.000 And if you haven't watched it yet, I encourage you to go over and check it out.

00:13:46.480 But it's true that the media are turning on Justin Trudeau and we're seeing it.

00:13:50.580 We're seeing the Laurentian elite, the people who usually have Trudeau's back, really turning

00:13:55.800 their back on them.

00:13:56.600 So I'll give you a couple of examples of columnists.

00:13:58.800 This week, we had Don Martin over at CTV, a very, very influential journalist in Ottawa,

00:14:03.780 longtime journalist.

00:14:05.340 Everybody knows him.

00:14:06.160 He's got his finger on the pulse.

00:14:07.960 And he writes this on a national day of indigenous reflection.

00:14:10.880 The prime minister only sees his own.

00:14:13.660 Tasha Carradine over at the National Post writes about, well, this article is both about

00:14:18.860 Trudeau and O'Toole, but it really, really rails into Justin Trudeau.

00:14:22.160 It says weak leadership leads Trudeau to Tofino and O'Toole into trouble.

00:14:25.540 The lessons in both cases is that leadership demands authenticity.

00:14:29.200 A real leader practices what he preaches.

00:14:31.520 I know Tasha Carradine is a conservative, but she is sort of the Laurentian elite's conservative. 1.00

00:14:38.500 Another one from the National Post is John Iveson.

00:14:40.960 This is a devastating piece.

00:14:43.180 And it says there are few signs a prime minister learns from his mistakes.

00:14:46.600 How many times has Justin Trudeau begged forgiveness for transgressions that would probably

00:14:50.620 have seen him fired in the private sector?

00:14:52.640 John Iveson does a pretty good job of recounting all of the various times that Justin Trudeau

00:14:56.860 has been found himself in similar kinds of situations where just total lapses of judgment,

00:15:01.600 really, really bad from an optics perspective, conflicts of interest, and ethics violations.

00:15:06.380 Finally, John Iveson in the Globe and Mail, who is usually can be counted on to defend

00:15:11.220 Justin Trudeau and attack conservatives.

00:15:13.460 He writes that Tofino trip may only hasten Justin Trudeau's departure.

00:15:17.900 So when the Laurentian elites turn on you, you know that you're in trouble.

00:15:21.240 There are two sort of themes that I want to pick up and criticize, though, when it comes

00:15:25.580 to the Laurentian elite's criticism of Justin Trudeau.

00:15:28.780 By the way, those are just four examples of many, many, many more.

00:15:31.480 There were probably hundreds of columns written in the last week of Justin Trudeau and talking

00:15:36.980 about just how terrible his decision was.

00:15:38.940 And I happen to agree with that.

00:15:40.260 But there were two elements of the story that I disagree with.

00:15:43.500 So I'll go through those right now.

00:15:44.920 First of all, this is just a personal pet peeve of mine.

00:15:46.960 But as someone who grew up in British Columbia, someone who grew up in Vancouver and sort

00:15:50.940 of has come to get used to the way that the Laurentian elites, people from Toronto, Ottawa,

00:15:56.060 and Montreal, the way that they talk about the rest of the country, especially the West,

00:15:59.300 and somehow in particular, British Columbia, it almost feels like British Columbia is not

00:16:04.160 really a part of Canada.

00:16:05.200 Like it's a whole different place.

00:16:06.640 It's a different country.

00:16:07.440 And going to the beach in British Columbia is somehow illegitimate.

00:16:10.580 So we see this a lot with Justin Trudeau.

00:16:13.520 I'm not trying to pick on Tasha Carradine because I have quite a bit of respect for her,

00:16:17.720 but there was just one line in her piece that really, really irked me.

00:16:22.060 So here it is.

00:16:22.640 Tasha writes this.

00:16:23.620 She says, Trudeau was caught on camera hitting the beach, but not just any beach, a beach

00:16:27.960 in BC across the country from Ottawa.

00:16:30.460 So this is somehow saying that because the beach was across the country in British Columbia,

00:16:33.660 that what?

00:16:34.020 It makes it even worse.

00:16:34.980 It's almost like they equate going to the beach in British Columbia with, again, going to a

00:16:38.000 different country, like going to the Caribbean or going to Hawaii or something like that.

00:16:41.640 And they treat it like there's something scandalous in and of itself of going to British Columbia.

00:16:45.780 I've got news to journalists, and I'll just make it clear for Tasha Carradine in this specific

00:16:50.020 line, she was talking about how it wasn't a spontaneous trip.

00:16:53.520 It wasn't just like deciding to pack the car on a store of the moment trip, but it required

00:16:58.680 planning.

00:16:59.240 But I did see this line in other pieces that there was something nefarious because he decided

00:17:03.720 to go out to British Columbia.

00:17:05.100 Well, I've got news for journalists in this country.

00:17:07.100 I've got news for people in Ontario who have this very Toronto and Ontario-centric view

00:17:12.060 of the country.

00:17:13.380 British Columbia is just as part as much, British Columbia is just as much a part of Canada

00:17:17.100 as anywhere else.

00:17:18.060 It is perfectly legitimate for the prime minister of this country to go to British Columbia

00:17:21.300 whenever he pleases.

00:17:22.700 His family is from there.

00:17:23.800 His mother and his entire side of the family is from British Columbia.

00:17:26.240 He spent a lot of time growing up and in his 20s living in British Columbia.

00:17:29.680 If he wants to go on a vacation to British Columbia, that's entirely his prerogative, entirely

00:17:34.460 within his rights.

00:17:35.800 Of course, the problem here is the whole idea that he went on truth and reconciliation day

00:17:39.620 and he lied about it.

00:17:40.900 So I'm not saying that this isn't scandalous.

00:17:42.620 I devoted my entire show yesterday, like I said, to talking about just how bad the story

00:17:46.540 is.

00:17:47.460 But just that concept, that line that's buried in, that going to British Columbia was somehow

00:17:52.760 wrong just because going to BC is wrong.

00:17:55.240 To me, it strikes me of the Laurentian elite's vision of Canada that basically everyone outside

00:18:01.060 of Ontario, especially everything to the west of Ontario, is treated sort of like it's a

00:18:05.020 colony of central Canada.

00:18:06.520 The west, the prairies, it's there for resource extraction.

00:18:09.580 British Columbia is there for holidays and vacations and nothing else.

00:18:13.520 Well, you know what?

00:18:14.440 People who live in that part of the country are just as much Canadian as anyone else.

00:18:18.200 And the second component of the media narrative that I find off-putting and completely wrong

00:18:22.560 is this idea that this might hasten Trudeau's departure, as John Ibbotson said, that Trudeau

00:18:27.200 is on his way out and that this is just a sign that Canadians are done with him and he's

00:18:32.040 had enough sort of speculating that he's going to resign.

00:18:34.260 And I'll tell you exactly why this is untrue.

00:18:36.020 There are only two ways that Justin Trudeau would be removed from being the prime minister.

00:18:39.660 At this point, he's not going to lose an election.

00:18:41.120 He's not going to trigger election.

00:18:42.440 My guess is that they won't have an election for another four years.

00:18:44.800 But there's two ways where he could stop being prime minister if the party somehow decided

00:18:48.460 to oust him or if he himself decided to resign.

00:18:51.560 Neither of these two things are going to happen.

00:18:53.280 So the first one, the Liberal Party is basically a cult.

00:18:56.620 It's a cult of personality around Justin Trudeau.

00:18:59.160 They love him.

00:18:59.800 He can do no wrong, even though some people have sort of turned on him just in terms of

00:19:04.220 how much of a fake feminist he is, how he's fake woke, all these kind of things.

00:19:07.600 He still has the unveiling support of basically his entire party.

00:19:11.120 They love him.

00:19:11.600 He can do no wrong.

00:19:13.000 And so according to a poll that True North commissioned, Trudeau has a support of 95%

00:19:18.400 of Liberal voters.

00:19:19.380 95% of Liberal voters told us they have a positive view of Justin Trudeau.

00:19:24.420 In the eyes of Liberal voters and Liberal members, Justin Trudeau can do no wrong.

00:19:28.340 95%.

00:19:28.780 That is an incredible level of support for Justin Trudeau.

00:19:31.860 Again, sort of like a cult.

00:19:33.040 They're not going to get rid of their cult leader over something like this, especially

00:19:36.220 as I said, you know, the whole fact that Canadian media fail was trending on Twitter.

00:19:40.180 Liberals don't think that Justin Trudeau did anything wrong.

00:19:43.420 And so they're not going to get rid of him.

00:19:45.140 As far as Justin Trudeau himself, the idea that what he's checked out and that he's done,

00:19:48.620 I don't think so.

00:19:49.280 I think he's probably just fatigued from the election, wanted to have some downtime with

00:19:52.300 his family.

00:19:53.680 And, you know, it wasn't too long ago.

00:19:55.360 A couple of weeks ago on the election campaign, media and reporters asked him just that.

00:19:59.100 They said, what are you going to do if you lose this election?

00:20:01.020 What are you going to do if you are leader of the opposition?

00:20:03.700 Are you going to step down?

00:20:04.760 This is what Justin Trudeau said.

00:20:06.820 I am not done fighting for Canadians.

00:20:10.120 I am not done with the hard work Canadians expect for a better future for everyone.

00:20:19.120 So there you have it.

00:20:19.920 He's not done.

00:20:20.920 He's not done.

00:20:21.940 And this was reiterated by Gerald Butts.

00:20:23.580 He told CBC that calls for Trudeau to resign are not going to go anywhere.

00:20:28.900 He said, I think retiring from politics would be the furthest thing from Justin Trudeau's

00:20:32.280 mind right now.

00:20:32.940 It's a four-year mandate unless the government is brought down.

00:20:36.300 So again, the idea that Justin Trudeau is going anywhere is nothing but wishful thinking.

00:20:40.420 It is not reflected in any facts or any of the information that we have out there.

00:20:45.560 But again, what do you expect from the legacy media?

00:20:48.020 Thank you so much for tuning into Fake News Friday.
