00:00:00.000 The Trudeau government's narrative about its decision to invoke the Emergencies Act
00:00:03.980 continues to crumble, and poly of derangement syndrome reaches a new level in the legacy
00:00:08.800 media.
00:00:09.260 It's Fake News Friday, I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.
00:00:24.520 Hi everyone, thank you so much for tuning into the podcast this week, and as usual,
00:00:28.700 I am joined by my colleague Harrison Faulkner, producer at True North and a journalist as
00:00:33.860 well.
00:00:34.040 Harrison, welcome to the program.
00:00:35.540 Thanks for having me, Candice.
00:00:37.100 So we have a couple of announcements, some big changes, big news happening here at True
00:00:42.480 North.
00:00:42.720 We continue to grow, we continue to reach more and more Canadians every single week, every
00:00:46.920 single month.
00:00:47.540 The growth that we've seen so far in 2020 is truly astonishing.
00:00:50.960 We've nearly doubled our size since last year, and last year was also a great year for us.
00:00:55.280 We covered the election, we continue to grow, we hit all kinds of things.
00:00:58.700 So we just continue to grow.
00:01:01.920 I think there's so many Canadians out there who have an appetite for something different
00:01:05.680 from the legacy media.
00:01:06.780 They like the independence of True North.
00:01:08.600 They don't want to have talking points crammed down their throat, and they see that there
00:01:13.720 is something wrong with the way that the media tells a story.
00:01:15.980 So just to say we're really happy with the direction True North is going, and again, to
00:01:21.780 the audience, people tuning in, just thank you so much for your support, for continuing
00:01:26.080 to tune in, to share our stories, those who financially support us.
00:01:29.760 We are incredibly grateful.
00:01:31.120 We receive all of our money from our viewers.
00:01:33.380 We don't take money from the government.
00:01:35.020 We don't take the Trudeau government's bailout grants.
00:01:37.240 We're not involved in any of those schemes.
00:01:39.000 So the way that we are funded is entirely by people who appreciate our journalism, enjoy
00:01:43.320 our reports, and put their wallets where they're, back it up with their wallets.
00:01:49.360 And we truly do appreciate that.
00:01:51.680 So Harrison, we have a couple of new podcasts that we are introducing.
00:01:56.240 Folks might have seen Rupa Subramania.
00:01:59.000 She launched her own podcast.
00:02:00.520 We're incredibly overjoyed to be joined by her at the network.
00:02:04.960 She's a writer over at the National Post and a freelance journalist, and she does some
00:02:08.100 great work.
00:02:08.660 She lives in Ottawa, and she covered the Trekker Convoy, I think, better than just about anybody.
00:02:13.200 So she had her first episode this week.
00:02:15.240 If you haven't tuned in already, go check that out right after you watch this show.
00:02:19.800 It was really, really great.
00:02:20.780 She talked about the World Economic Forum and sort of drilling down into what they do,
00:02:25.340 what they want to do.
00:02:26.180 And same with the World Health Organization, talking about these two supposedly taboo topics
00:02:30.580 that we're not supposed to talk about.
00:02:32.100 These really, you know, powerful lobby groups, essentially, that want to coordinate global
00:02:37.320 policy.
00:02:38.100 So Rupa does a deep dive into that.
00:02:39.880 And then we're really pleased yesterday to release another brand new show.
00:02:44.320 This one hosted by you, Harrison.
00:02:46.240 Harrison Faulkner, Ratioed.
00:02:48.240 So why don't you tell us a little bit about your new show, Harrison?
00:02:50.780 Yeah, so it is basically going to be a social media commentary show.
00:02:56.120 We're going to go into some of the worst takes of the week, some of the cringiest social media
00:03:00.980 posts.
00:03:01.380 We're going to laugh, make fun of some of these posts, and we're also going to provide some
00:03:05.880 much-needed commentary.
00:03:06.720 I made this point on the show yesterday, Candice, that social media really is the new cultural
00:03:12.140 battleground for these issues.
00:03:13.600 And I think True North recognizes that and wants to make sure that our audience can get
00:03:20.300 some good coverage on what's going on on these social media feeds.
00:03:22.860 Because, I mean, there's just so much content.
00:03:25.000 As you know, when we have this show every week, we pretty much have too much content to get
00:03:29.160 into.
00:03:29.400 So we're going to try and tackle that issue by creating this new show, Ratioed.
00:03:35.160 So I'm super excited to have the opportunity and really looking forward to having the show
00:03:40.400 grow and be a serious part of what we offer here at True North.
00:03:43.600 Well, we're all really excited about it, Harrison.
00:03:46.820 You're part of Generation Z, or I don't know what you call yourselves, Gen Z or iGen.
00:03:51.820 And I think part of the interesting thing about your show is tapping into the sort of zeitgeist
00:03:57.780 among your generation, pointing out some of the sort of very extreme woke ideology that
00:04:03.060 does exist in your age group, which is, I don't think, the norm.
00:04:06.080 I don't think that's sort of where the average, moderate, young Canadian is.
00:04:12.280 But sort of seeing the sort of stuff that they put out there about themselves and sort
00:04:16.220 of how out of tune it is with the rest of the Canadian population.
00:04:21.720 Tell us about the title, Ratioed.
00:04:23.140 What does that mean?
00:04:24.320 Well, so Ratioed is basically when a social media post gets way more comments or way more
00:04:30.020 quote tweets than likes.
00:04:33.140 So it basically is the one big indicator that you miss the mark on social media if your post
00:04:38.780 gets ratioed.
00:04:39.640 And I think, Candace, you raise a good point there about how this is what our generation
00:04:44.200 is talking about.
00:04:44.980 We are paying attention now to what these, I mean, frankly, you could call them, there
00:04:50.240 are radicals out there that are pushing very extreme political agendas on social media,
00:04:55.860 and they have no shame in putting it out there.
00:04:57.980 So we just want to try and talk about it, show people what is being said.
00:05:02.440 And I think the rise of accounts like libs of TikTok, if you've seen them on Twitter,
00:05:06.060 posting these videos of these teachers talking about gender ideology or what else, whatever
00:05:12.620 sort of radical political movement is in style, usually it gets picked up by these accounts.
00:05:19.420 And there's a real appetite for people to talk about these things and to show people just
00:05:23.140 how insane things are getting in this generation.
00:05:25.940 So like I said, I mean, I think it's what our audience wants.
00:05:29.500 It's a new opportunity for us to break into a new audience group as well, a new demographic,
00:05:34.020 which I think is valuable for everyone.
00:05:36.640 And I think it's just much needed content, really looking forward to it.
00:05:40.360 Well, one of the things that I find really interesting is that the media has really picked
00:05:44.020 up on this woke culture and they've sort of channeled it.
00:05:47.060 And a lot of them have taken it on, you know, not just media, but big corporations, corporate
00:05:51.280 Canada, you start to see these strange phenomenons where, you know, people put their pronouns in
00:05:56.500 their bios and, you know, all of these sort of woke critical race theory concepts creeping
00:06:03.380 into corporate governance.
00:06:05.440 But at the same time, I noticed that when it comes to polling, right, young Canadians, people
00:06:10.680 in their 20s were very against the lockdowns.
00:06:13.900 They were very, they were the most, the group most likely to support the truckers and support
00:06:18.060 the sentiment behind the truckers.
00:06:20.080 And we've seen with just someone like Pierre Polyev, the huge reach that he's been able
00:06:23.920 to have with this sort of younger group of Canadians.
00:06:26.720 So I wonder, Harrison, do you think the woke culture sort of represents your generation or
00:06:32.940 do you think it's a deviation and that it's unfair to categorize all sort of Gen Z Canadians
00:06:38.020 as part of this woke tribe?
00:06:40.680 So I think it's definitely unfair to put us all into the extreme woke category, because
00:06:46.340 I think that there's a huge rebound effect with all of this.
00:06:50.180 The more extreme you go, the more people will eventually, I guess, get off the ship and realize
00:06:55.020 just what, just what a disaster it was.
00:06:57.640 And you push people to the edges.
00:06:59.560 And I've seen polling and data that shows that the younger generation, a generation even
00:07:04.060 below me is supposed to be one of the most conservative because they've been, they've
00:07:08.740 been forced to listen to teachers, tell them insane things, or they're forced to watch things
00:07:13.960 on TV that they know is just not right.
00:07:16.400 So I think that there's definitely a rebound effect, right?
00:07:19.440 If you, if you keep pushing too far, eventually people are going to come to their senses and
00:07:23.640 realize actually, hold on, this is, this is actually insane.
00:07:26.720 This is not at all what, this is not at all what we want for our society and for our life.
00:07:31.760 And you were right about the trucker convoy, because of course, young people have to get
00:07:36.860 out, they have to get jobs, and they're not going to be getting corporate cushy jobs where
00:07:40.940 they can work from home necessarily.
00:07:42.420 Usually that requires them to maybe working in retail or work at a restaurant.
00:07:47.460 And if you shut everything down, or you force people to, for example, take a vaccine to get
00:07:53.200 a job, that is going to have some sort of negative backlash.
00:07:56.860 And of course, younger people are going to take issue with it when they're the ones that
00:08:00.380 end up paying the price.
00:08:01.700 So I know you've talked about this on your show about how actually the younger generations
00:08:06.300 are oftentimes the most affected by these lockdowns, by these policies.
00:08:10.320 I know that when you talked to Matt Strauss, he said that as well.
00:08:13.920 And I think it's the case that there is, you know, if tapping into the nerve of younger
00:08:20.540 Canadians who are really frustrated, really disappointed by the direction of the country,
00:08:24.660 there's a lot to be done there.
00:08:26.020 And there's a lot of people that want this sort of content.
00:08:29.320 Well, that's so great.
00:08:30.180 Ray showed with Harrison Faulkner, we're so excited to be hosting that.
00:08:33.960 It's going to be every Thursday.
00:08:35.280 So after you check out this episode, after you check out the Rupa Supermania show, go check
00:08:39.780 out Ray showed with Harrison Faulkner is going to air every single Thursday here at True
00:08:44.300 North.
00:08:45.040 And so just final bit of announcements here at True North.
00:08:49.060 So before for the last year and a half, the Candace Malcolm show has run every single day,
00:08:53.580 Monday to Friday, and we've had so much fun putting that together.
00:08:56.340 We are scaling the show back for the time being.
00:08:59.220 So the Rupa Supermania show will fill the block on Tuesday, Ray showed with Harrison Faulkner
00:09:04.940 on Thursday.
00:09:05.940 We're going to be bringing in some new content as well to fill those slots.
00:09:09.140 And part of the reason why is because I'm excited to announce my husband and I are expecting
00:09:14.080 baby number three at our household.
00:09:16.460 And so I will be taking time off starting this summer to be with my family, with my newborn
00:09:22.020 and with my two other little kids.
00:09:24.300 So that is why Candace Malcolm show won't be every day, won't be won't be on at all after
00:09:29.820 July.
00:09:30.920 And we're going to fill the slot in with lots and lots of other content at True North.
00:09:35.900 And then I'll be back on the channel sometime later this year or early next year.
00:09:40.580 And so we're all very, very excited.
00:09:43.000 And we're going to continue to provide lots and lots of content to True North viewers.
00:09:47.740 So with that, let's get to fake news Friday, Harrison.
00:09:50.600 I think the big, big story of the week was that the Trudeau government's narrative around
00:09:56.740 the Emergencies Act and around the trucker convoy just continues to crumble every single
00:10:02.060 week, every single day with this, with this national inquiry, we learn things that just
00:10:06.640 don't match with what the liberals were saying at the time, don't match with the liberal media
00:10:12.320 narrative that was being spouted at the time.
00:10:14.580 And we have yet another example this week.
00:10:16.740 So this story just came out yesterday, Marco Medicino, the public safety minister, the media
00:10:24.240 tells us that he was, he was just misunderstood.
00:10:26.600 He was misunderstood when he said that the police asked for the Emergencies Act.
00:10:30.660 So you will recall that Marco Medicino repeatedly told us that the reason that the government
00:10:35.920 invoked the Emergencies Act wasn't because of Trudeau, it wasn't because of a liberal
00:10:38.880 decision, it had nothing to do with partisanship, nothing to do with Trudeau's personal hatred
00:10:42.560 for these truckers.
00:10:43.880 It was all just the liberals were taking advice from law enforcement.
00:10:48.080 And so really, it was a law enforcement that made the decision and not the political operatives
00:10:52.560 in the liberal government.
00:10:54.220 Well, we have heard over and over again now that that's not true.
00:10:57.180 Every single law official, law enforcement official that has taken the stand in this
00:11:02.000 national inquiry has said, no, that's not the case.
00:11:04.660 And so the headline this week isn't that Marco Medicino was wrong.
00:11:08.360 It wasn't that he lied and he misled the public and he misrepresented the situation.
00:11:14.240 It wasn't even that he misspoke.
00:11:16.540 It's that he was misunderstood.
00:11:18.880 So he didn't have a misunderstanding.
00:11:21.200 You did.
00:11:21.700 He was misunderstood.
00:11:22.880 And this is according to an official in the bureaucracy in his department.
00:11:27.320 Everyone is covering for this liberal government.
00:11:29.860 It is truly wild.
00:11:31.160 So we put together some clips for you.
00:11:34.340 First of all, this is a clip of Marco Medicino, who repeatedly said that the reason that the
00:11:39.920 government invoked the Emergencies Act is because they were just following what the law enforcement
00:11:44.340 said.
00:11:44.820 Here is that clip.
00:11:45.860 We invoked the Act because it was the advice of nonpartisan professional law enforcement.
00:11:53.460 That's the reason why we had to invoke the Emergencies Act, and we did so on the basis
00:11:57.120 of nonpartisan professional advice from law enforcement.
00:12:00.400 We were following the advice of various levels of law enforcement, including the RCMP.
00:12:07.480 After calling upon the police forces, we invoked the Emergency Measures Act.
00:12:11.020 We wanted to be sure at bottom that we were giving law enforcement all of the tools and
00:12:17.860 the resources that they needed.
00:12:20.300 It was only after police told us that they needed this special power.
00:12:25.080 The Ontario Association, the Canadian Association, law enforcement was very strong.
00:12:33.640 I don't want to speak for every last serving member of law enforcement, but there was a very
00:12:38.980 strong consensus that we needed to invoke the act.
00:12:41.480 A strong consensus that we need to invoke the act.
00:12:43.760 You can hear him say it over and over again, that it wasn't his decision, Harrison.
00:12:47.440 It wasn't the liberal government.
00:12:48.600 It wasn't anything to do with petty politics.
00:12:50.380 He was just taking advice from the people who run the law enforcement side of things.
00:12:56.360 Do you think he was misunderstood?
00:12:57.900 What do you think of this take from the media?
00:13:00.520 Well, Candace, I don't know how many times you can be misunderstood before it turns on the
00:13:04.900 person saying it.
00:13:06.200 It's not us who is misunderstood about what he's saying.
00:13:09.180 He seems to be mistaken about the actual course of events that he was a part of.
00:13:13.640 I mean, how many times have we seen this?
00:13:15.020 I've been all over the inquiry and posting clips on my Twitter trying to get the message
00:13:19.480 out there.
00:13:19.840 Because one thing I've noticed is that aside from what we're covering here, Candace,
00:13:23.820 there's not a lot of coverage happening on the inquiry.
00:13:26.180 People are not reacting to the fact that, as you said at the beginning, Trudeau's narrative
00:13:30.120 is totally crumbling apart.
00:13:32.220 And just because you can, you know, the minister can say that he acted on the basis of law
00:13:38.000 enforcement and the request of law enforcement.
00:13:39.980 But if the RCMP commissioner, if the Ottawa police chief, the former Ottawa police chief
00:13:44.960 who was fired because he wasn't doing enough, and the Gatineau mayor all say that they didn't
00:13:50.900 request the government to invoke the Emergencies Act, and they confirm it in the inquiry, then
00:13:56.920 it's clear, Candace, that this narrative is obviously just not the case.
00:14:01.020 What Trudeau is trying to do is find a scapegoat.
00:14:03.580 What the minister is trying to do is find a scapegoat other than himself to pin the blame
00:14:08.120 on this horrible mistake, to invoke this ridiculous measure.
00:14:13.800 I think, unfortunately for Marco Mendicino, he may be the one that gets thrown under the
00:14:18.700 bus, because this inquiry has definitely not gone the way the liberals wanted it to.
00:14:23.220 It seems that they're going into it.
00:14:25.220 They appointed the liberal justice, right, the former liberal staffer who's now a judge
00:14:29.380 to head the inquiry, and they had this probably mapped out in their minds about how they're
00:14:33.940 going to get out of it.
00:14:34.820 They're going to immediately start pinning the blame on the far right, on the extremists,
00:14:40.060 as they tried many times, and it hasn't gone that way.
00:14:43.900 The Bloc, the NDP even, and the conservatives, of course, and even the senators, almost all the
00:14:50.100 senators on the inquiry have been taking the liberals to task over this and expose their
00:14:54.060 narrative.
00:14:55.220 Well, we have a clip of those officials that you did mention, so you can juxtapose what
00:15:00.180 the minister is on camera saying repeatedly, that it was law enforcement that advised him,
00:15:04.940 and then now let's look at what those law enforcement agents say when they were asked to testify in
00:15:10.060 front of this inquiry.
00:15:10.800 Here's that clip.
00:15:11.860 As a law enforcement agency with primacy for national security, did you ask the government
00:15:16.340 or representatives for the invocation of the Emergencies Act?
00:15:19.520 No, there was never a question of requesting the Emergency Act.
00:15:24.480 There was a question that we consulted with.
00:15:26.440 Sorry, I don't mean to interrupt, but I'm sorry.
00:15:28.940 So you never asked for it.
00:15:30.320 Do you know of any other police leadership that asked specifically the government for
00:15:34.140 the invocation?
00:15:36.540 No, we actually reached out to various police agencies when there was talk about some of
00:15:40.820 the authorities within that they were proposing, and of course, we were consulted.
00:15:45.060 Did the Ottawa police make a request to the federal government to invoke the Emergencies
00:15:49.100 Measures Act, yes or no?
00:15:50.700 So we were involved in conversations with our partners and with the political ministries.
00:15:58.200 We didn't make a direct request for the Emergencies Act.
00:16:02.000 I'm wondering if you could confirm whether the city of Catano or its police services requested
00:16:09.800 the federal government to invoke the Emergencies Act during the Freedom Convoy.
00:16:19.640 Thank you very much for my question.
00:16:24.440 No, the city of Catano did not declare an emergency request to the Act, but it did provide
00:16:31.680 considerable support to the RCMP.
00:16:33.800 Did yourself or anyone in the OPS request the invocation of the Emergency Act?
00:16:40.640 I did not make that request.
00:16:42.020 I'm not aware of anybody else in the Ottawa police service who did.
00:16:44.460 So no one made the request?
00:16:46.320 No one's aware of anyone who made the request?
00:16:48.480 And to me, it kind of comes back to media coverage, because at the time, no one was holding
00:16:53.100 this government to account.
00:16:54.180 They had all bought into this idea that there was some kind of a January 6th moment coming
00:16:58.840 in Canada, and that these people were truly reprehensible, they were white supremacists,
00:17:02.960 they were probably all murderers, and they didn't need to stop.
00:17:06.100 So the media allowed them to get away with this.
00:17:09.100 And now, where it's time for some accountability, you're right, Harrison, they hardly cover this,
00:17:14.340 right?
00:17:14.580 It's not prime time.
00:17:15.980 It's not being covered on the news.
00:17:17.560 You go to CBC, National Post, Globe and Mail, any of these websites, they barely ever talk
00:17:22.860 about it.
00:17:23.480 And when they do, they run stories like this.
00:17:25.300 So this was over in the Canadian press, and they just repeat what the liberals want everyone
00:17:30.320 to know.
00:17:30.740 Mendicino was misunderstood when he said, please ask for the Emergencies Act, according to this
00:17:35.180 official.
00:17:36.140 It's all misunderstanding.
00:17:37.060 So they can't even bring themselves to say Mendicino is contradicted.
00:17:41.060 Mendicino is caught in a lie.
00:17:42.880 Mendicino's dishonesty is coming out.
00:17:44.840 No, none of that.
00:17:45.480 Just, again, very mild, very, you know, understated.
00:17:49.340 He was just misunderstood.
00:17:50.960 It wasn't even him that had the misunderstanding.
00:17:53.440 It was you, the public, or you, the, you know, the media, or it was someone else.
00:17:58.600 It was Canadians who misunderstood, not the minister.
00:18:02.280 So absolutely no accountability from the legacy media in the way that they are covering
00:18:07.640 this.
00:18:08.320 And you made this point a couple weeks ago on the show, Harrison, I think it's worth
00:18:11.500 repeating, that if this was in the US, if there was some kind of a unprecedented use
00:18:17.620 of the authority of the federal government, suspending civil rights as much as you can
00:18:22.140 in this country, using the entire force of the federal government, suspending all kinds
00:18:28.180 of other charter issues and everything.
00:18:31.240 And then there was an inquiry into it.
00:18:33.140 It would be prime time.
00:18:34.860 It would be on all of the news channels.
00:18:36.600 It would be a huge story, especially if it was against a conservative government or a
00:18:40.820 Republican government in the US.
00:18:42.180 I mean, we have an example of this right now.
00:18:44.640 There is a inquiry in the US into the January 6th riots.
00:18:49.420 This happened 18 months ago.
00:18:51.220 We pretty much have already gotten to the bottom of it and litigated it.
00:18:54.400 A bunch of people have gone to jail.
00:18:56.060 You know, 200 idiots stormed the Capitol.
00:18:59.080 And, you know, they're still dwelling on it, right?
00:19:01.140 And it is prime time.
00:19:02.100 The Democrats down there are trying to make it into this huge midterm election issue.
00:19:06.460 Again, compare that to here in Canada, where the Trudeau government did something really
00:19:11.300 unprecedented.
00:19:12.420 This emergency act had never been used before.
00:19:15.380 It's supposed to be there for wartime, you know, for an invasion or some kind of internal
00:19:21.800 uprising.
00:19:22.860 And yet, basically, no accountability.
00:19:27.160 It's such a stark difference in how the media treat liberals versus how they treat conservatives.
00:19:33.000 Completely.
00:19:34.560 And again, going back to the narrative that the law enforcement requested the act.
00:19:39.560 If the US government told the Canadian government to do this, or if the province of Ontario told
00:19:45.020 the Canadian government to do this, why not say that?
00:19:47.580 Just say to Canadians, in fact, we were instructed by the provinces and we were instructed by the
00:19:53.040 United States to do this.
00:19:54.480 Would that be fair justification?
00:19:55.960 Likely not.
00:19:56.800 But if that's the justification, if that's the truth, come out there and say it.
00:20:00.600 Like, don't pin the blame on the cops, who will then just tell the actual truth to the
00:20:05.100 people and say, no, we didn't request it.
00:20:06.980 And like you said, Candace, again, if this was a January 6th style committee, then the
00:20:11.780 liberals would be doing a lot better than they are.
00:20:14.060 I mean, the January 6th committee, to this day, are, I mean, they just basically shackled
00:20:19.700 a former Trump office administrator in an airport and did it in public and brought him in, basically
00:20:25.880 put him into, into the, into the brig because he was subpoenaed by the January 6th committee
00:20:31.740 and didn't show up.
00:20:32.900 So again, there's, there's a total difference, right?
00:20:35.280 The media coverage of the January 6th committee and the actions of that committee are, are
00:20:40.660 basically taking place and they're actually, you know, making serious headway, if you want
00:20:45.500 to call it that.
00:20:46.220 And this committee, which I think was designed to prop up the liberal narrative is totally
00:20:50.800 failing.
00:20:51.140 I mean, it's just exposing the entire, the entire debacle that was the emergencies act.
00:20:56.400 And throughout this whole time, Candace, we have to go through this long list of, of narratives
00:21:01.380 that the liberals have put out there about the emergencies act or about the events in
00:21:05.680 Ottawa that have since crumbled.
00:21:07.340 I mean, we can just go down the list.
00:21:08.380 Let's start with the wealthy donors from March 18, 2022, Blacklocks reported that in fact,
00:21:14.740 the, the wealthy foreign donors, Blacklocks reported that in fact, it was Canadians who donated
00:21:18.680 this line about it all being from America, from the American ultra rich right wing is
00:21:23.780 not the case.
00:21:24.400 It was proven false.
00:21:26.000 Another one, the RCMP saw no evidence of terrorist financing.
00:21:29.880 So again, we were told this is a, this is a terrorist act of foreign funding to, to incite,
00:21:34.720 cite some sort of government over, you know, government takeover turned out to be false.
00:21:40.520 Again, the next one, the convoy was funded by Canadians, not foreigners.
00:21:44.320 Like I said, they said, they said the convoy was funded by the Americans and by people
00:21:47.920 from around the world.
00:21:48.480 And it was actually just funded by the grassroots FinTrack, the financial advisor, they said
00:21:53.720 that, that they told the government that there was no ideologically motivated, violent
00:21:58.860 extremism that was funding, funding the event.
00:22:02.200 I mean, just, I'm not even going to go down the list.
00:22:04.740 I mean, there's so many of them, the firearms at Coutts, the arson attempt in Ottawa, the woman
00:22:09.520 who danced in the war monument.
00:22:10.740 Again, all of these sorts of things, all the, all the attempt by the liberals to paint this
00:22:14.800 convoy as something it wasn't are all starting to unravel.
00:22:19.420 Well, there was never anything there, there anyway.
00:22:21.760 And we knew that in real time, we were watching the convoy, the media reporting on it was like
00:22:26.020 a totally different event.
00:22:27.000 Whatever they were watching, they were cherry picking the craziest people they could find
00:22:30.560 and blowing stories out of proportion that were easily debunkable at the time.
00:22:34.420 And they have since been debunked.
00:22:36.200 And I'm very grateful for True North for going through and documenting that so that
00:22:40.320 we have it on record that, you know, just about every major narrative that the lead, that
00:22:44.460 the legacy media spun up from the Tucker Convoy has turned out to be wrong.
00:22:48.880 And right, when they created this national inquiry, the point was, why did the Trudeau government
00:22:53.700 use this tool that should have never been used?
00:22:56.700 Let's look into why the government used it.
00:22:59.120 Of course, Trudeau and his liberal spin doctors and his friends in the media painted it as if,
00:23:04.180 no, no, the purpose of this inquiry is to look into the truckers and try to find out what their
00:23:08.160 motives were and their ties to violent extremism and terrorism or whatever.
00:23:12.940 And so they set it up that way in the media, as if this was a national inquiry into the
00:23:18.000 truckers rather than a national inquiry into the politicians who used the full force of
00:23:22.940 government against the truckers.
00:23:25.000 And then to your point that you made about how Mark Manichino maybe get, maybe ending up
00:23:30.400 being thrown under the bus, it's like, you know, they created this show trial and it's
00:23:34.960 kind of backfiring on them because all of the information that comes out just keeps, they
00:23:38.820 keep shooting themselves in the foot.
00:23:40.140 It keeps becoming incredibly evident and obvious to Canadians that there was no real justification,
00:23:46.320 that it was all spin.
00:23:47.700 It was all smoke and mirrors.
00:23:49.220 And they continue to play this game.
00:23:51.680 Harrison, the latest this past week again, is that the government is now hiding behind cabinet
00:23:56.500 confidentiality.
00:23:57.900 So we've seen this over and over again, Harrison, where first we had the Attorney General, David
00:24:03.220 Lamedi, who basically just refuses to answer questions.
00:24:06.660 And whenever he's pressed, he says, look, that's cabinet, that's confidential, it's part
00:24:09.720 of, it's protected under cabinet confidentiality.
00:24:12.440 I guess I thought that line works so well that even Brenda Luckey, who is the RCMP commissioner,
00:24:17.400 tried to use it.
00:24:18.040 The only problem, of course, is that Luckey is not part of cabinet, so she wouldn't have
00:24:22.280 cabinet confidentiality.
00:24:23.420 We have some clips here of, as you can see, just more obfuscation, refusing to answer basic
00:24:29.920 questions, refusing to be clear and honest with the public about why they used, again,
00:24:36.140 this unprecedented tool in the government powers.
00:24:40.580 And fortunately, getting called out a little bit by conservatives on the committee.
00:24:46.000 So let's play that clip.
00:24:46.900 Is that correct?
00:24:47.820 I'm not going to betray cabinet confidence.
00:24:50.560 And so the financing measures came into place.
00:24:53.500 In those consultations, did you consult with provincial attorneys general?
00:24:58.300 There were, we did have a consultation report.
00:25:03.920 And there were, again, I'm not going to betray cabinet confidences.
00:25:09.940 I would ask that you undertake to provide the analysis and the information that you were
00:25:17.960 made aware of, that you relied upon to, you know, to be part of making the invocation
00:25:26.140 for this particular emergencies act, sir.
00:25:29.880 Thank you, Mr. Motz.
00:25:30.860 I understand the sentiment behind the question, and I certainly share the goal of transparency.
00:25:35.580 I think Canadians will understand that cabinet confidence is a critical part of our cabinet
00:25:42.740 governance system.
00:25:44.400 You know, we, we, I can't get into the details of specific discussions, but I can say that,
00:25:51.560 yeah.
00:25:51.660 Why can't we get into the details, Commissioner?
00:25:53.820 Sorry.
00:25:55.440 Well, because they were within cabinet, and I'm bound by that cabinet confidence.
00:26:01.460 But I can, I can talk about in general.
00:26:03.180 I provided the situational report, which would have provided them, uh, the details that
00:26:07.980 they needed to, uh, come up with some of the measures.
00:26:10.940 Are you still maintaining solicitor and client privilege?
00:26:13.580 Are you willing to waive that?
00:26:16.260 Well, I'm also bound by cabinet confidence as well.
00:26:19.580 You're not part of the cabinet.
00:26:21.320 You're not part of that confidence.
00:26:24.160 No, but I am when I provide them information in cabinet.
00:26:27.660 To be continued.
00:26:29.920 Oh, do I?
00:26:31.080 Seconds.
00:26:31.440 Oh.
00:26:31.620 Go ahead.
00:26:31.920 You're not part of cabinet.
00:26:35.540 You're not an elected official.
00:26:38.420 So why are you hiding behind cabinet confidentiality?
00:26:41.880 Canadians want to know.
00:26:43.440 I would just request that the, um, questions go through the chair rather than directly to
00:26:48.300 the witness.
00:26:50.720 I didn't think we were that formal, Madam Chair, that we had to say through the chair.
00:26:54.380 We weren't before the badgering, but now we are.
00:26:56.140 Can the witness answer the question?
00:26:58.540 Uh, we stopped the clock.
00:26:59.800 Okay, we'll go ahead.
00:27:00.560 It was 37 seconds.
00:27:02.260 Why do you feel you are bound by cabinet confidentiality as an unelected official?
00:27:07.720 When I'm providing information within cabinet, I'm bound by the rules of cabinet.
00:27:15.600 Are you part of the Liberal government, Ms. Lucky?
00:27:18.600 Not at all.
00:27:19.620 Are you a donor to the Liberal Party?
00:27:22.120 No.
00:27:23.340 You sure about that?
00:27:24.500 I'm sure.
00:27:25.920 Are you still citing cabinet confidentiality?
00:27:32.120 Yes.
00:27:32.480 So, Candace, as you can see there, they just have no interest in wanting to get to the bottom
00:27:37.620 of the facts.
00:27:38.220 They have no interest in trying to tell the truth.
00:27:40.100 You saw David Lametti there basically say the same thing in maybe five different ways
00:27:45.520 that, yeah, he understands that you want the answers.
00:27:48.460 He understands Canadians deserve the truth, but he's not going to give it to us.
00:27:51.700 He's going to hide behind cabinet confidence, cabinet confidentiality, as he says.
00:27:55.960 He doesn't want to divulge or break cabinet confidence.
00:27:59.180 And again, right at the end, you saw RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucky try to hide behind
00:28:03.560 cabinet confidence, too, almost as if she kind of wishes she was a part of cabinet.
00:28:08.000 But she's not.
00:28:08.720 That's just the truth.
00:28:10.200 She's a public servant, unelected, and whose job it is to do good by the people of Canada,
00:28:15.580 not to serve the prime minister at the time.
00:28:18.540 That's not the role of the RCMP Commissioner.
00:28:20.240 The RCMP Commissioner's role is to basically lead the Federal Police Service
00:28:25.760 and protect Canadians.
00:28:27.240 And part of that is telling the truth.
00:28:29.120 And rightly, Larry Brock of the Conservative Party, who's a part of the committee,
00:28:34.060 and I have to say as well, both conservatives on the committee,
00:28:36.920 Glenn Motts and Larry Brock have both done an excellent job at trying to hold people's
00:28:40.640 feet to the fire here.
00:28:42.040 He just basically told Brenda Lucky straight up, you're not part of cabinet.
00:28:46.020 Why do you think you can hide behind cabinet confidence?
00:28:49.340 You're not actually bound by this cabinet confidence, so you have a duty to tell the truth.
00:28:53.740 But again, that doesn't work for Brenda Lucky.
00:28:56.100 And then, of course, Candace, they tried it one too many times.
00:28:59.200 Chalk it up as another win for the truckers.
00:29:01.820 The committee, headed by a liberal justice, as we talked about before,
00:29:05.480 is now telling the government that actually, we are going to request these documents.
00:29:10.380 We do have a duty to understand what the government knew at the time
00:29:14.200 and why they invoked the act.
00:29:16.520 So as you can see here, on June 3rd, True North wrote about the fact that the public inquiry
00:29:21.740 was now telling the government, we're going to request these documents from you.
00:29:25.960 We have to get to the bottom of what's going on.
00:29:27.840 So again, it's another L for Trudeau and the Liberals.
00:29:31.260 Their narrative is crumbling.
00:29:33.260 And their attempts to obfuscate, their attempts to hide,
00:29:36.500 are being called out by the liberal justice they handpicked to lead this process.
00:29:40.400 So it's really all falling apart for them, Candace.
00:29:42.480 Well, it's good to see someone is holding the liberal government to account.
00:29:47.040 It's too bad that our legacy media have no interest in covering it,
00:29:50.420 and which is why, again, I'm grateful for True North.
00:29:53.260 Well, Harrison, I want to talk about polyev derangement syndrome.
00:29:56.660 We had an entire episode of the show on it a few weeks ago, and it continues to thrive.
00:30:01.440 And so I covered this in my show earlier this week, an interview with Hamish Marshall,
00:30:05.560 where we talked about how the conservative numbers have just blown everyone's figures out of the park.
00:30:10.280 600,000 members, Pierre Polyev claims 311,958 on his website alone.
00:30:17.460 This is dwarfing any previous leadership race, any previous number of memberships sold by a political party.
00:30:25.300 And it's so interesting to see how the media narrative has been proven wrong, Harrison,
00:30:29.120 because remember, at first, when we saw those big rallies at the Pierre Polyev campaign,
00:30:34.560 the media sort of tried to downplay it.
00:30:36.240 They tried to dismiss it.
00:30:37.080 At first, they said that, oh, these big rallies are really just, you know, riding the coattails of the trekker convoy,
00:30:44.700 that these people aren't partisan, they're never going to sign up for members,
00:30:47.700 that Pierre's campaign is really disorganized, and they wouldn't be able to have the groundwork.
00:30:52.540 Well, that was all proven wrong, based on this claim from Jenny Byrne, Polyev's campaign advisor,
00:30:57.180 that no, no, all of those things are wrong.
00:31:00.100 Of course, my favorite narrative about the Pierre Polyev rallies with the media said that they were too white,
00:31:06.300 and that somehow discredited them because of the people,
00:31:09.020 the skin color of the people who go to your rallies apparently can be discrediting.
00:31:13.000 And so it's really interesting, of course, to compare how Polyev and the conservative leadership race in general,
00:31:19.720 you know, you see the media downplay it, compare it to how they covered Justin Trudeau.
00:31:23.680 A lot of people have been talking about this because back in 2013, Justin Trudeau claimed that his campaign
00:31:29.200 had signed up 150,000 to 160,000 people, and the media were, like, blown away.
00:31:34.440 They were celebrating.
00:31:35.400 They thought this was, like, a tremendous feat and that it showed how energetic Trudeau's fan base was
00:31:40.420 and how he was so engaging and how he had this big, all this momentum, right?
00:31:46.420 Recall that the liberals don't charge anything for their membership,
00:31:49.620 so all you really had to do was just, like, get someone to write down their name and email address,
00:31:53.080 and they didn't have to put any skin in the game, right?
00:31:55.800 Compare that to Pierre and the conservative party where you have to pay at least 15 bucks,
00:32:00.180 so you're not just some random person off the street.
00:32:02.380 You have to have that level of commitment to say,
00:32:04.380 I'm willing to part with some of my own money to show that I support this candidate.
00:32:08.900 So just so many aspects of what the media had said all along proving to be false,
00:32:13.960 but the media being the media, they just can't let it go,
00:32:16.660 and so they continue along this line, along this reasoning.
00:32:20.180 Almost all of the news stories that I saw about the conservative numbers,
00:32:24.560 they always say conservatives claim, or, you know, you see it right built into the headline
00:32:30.200 that this is a claim, that it's not verified, never trusted politician.
00:32:33.500 Don Iveson had a piece over in the National Post, and he said that no one really knows the real numbers.
00:32:39.280 It's a good rule of thumb in journalism to never believe anything that politicians or political parties say.
00:32:44.100 You have to be professional skepticism.
00:32:45.560 That's all well and good, and that is all true.
00:32:47.580 You do need to preface it, but the emphasis is there, right?
00:32:50.540 Just compare this to even just a story we just talked about, right?
00:32:53.900 Mendicino's out there changing a story, being contradicted left, right, and center,
00:32:57.160 and the media still runs with whatever the liberals say, that's the fact.
00:33:00.820 And then whenever a conservative says something, they always say allegedly,
00:33:03.940 or conservatives say, or candidates claim, having that suffix there just to say,
00:33:09.940 well, we just plant some doubt in the reader's mind, like, we don't really believe this.
00:33:13.880 This is just what they're saying.
00:33:15.680 And that double standard is there.
00:33:18.160 And then we have another piece, Harrison, from our friend Gary Mason over at the Globe and Mail.
00:33:21.980 He wrote the most arranged piece a couple of weeks ago about Pierre Polyev.
00:33:26.000 Well, he continues down that line, so I'll read a little bit from this column.
00:33:30.620 He says,
00:33:30.940 His campaign is a well-oiled machine, so he's sort of reluctantly saying that Pierre Polyev is good at his job.
00:33:43.060 Can't help but throwing in that apparently his policies range from disturbing to bonkers.
00:33:47.100 Okay.
00:33:47.900 And he says, basically, Pierre Polyev's good fortune his supporters don't see his own hypocrisy.
00:33:53.320 He says, this is my favorite line from the piece,
00:33:55.260 Mr. Polyev is also a phony when it comes to his policies.
00:33:59.280 His oft-stated intention to make Canada the freest country on earth
00:34:02.500 certainly had an appealing ring to the mostly white protesters
00:34:05.760 who participated in the self-described freedom convoy earlier this year,
00:34:08.960 to whom he pandered shamelessly.
00:34:11.140 So you can't even come up with anything neutral or, I mean, this is just flat-out
00:34:16.960 anti-conservative hatred and bigotry masquerading as journalism.
00:34:21.800 What do you make of all this, Harrison?
00:34:23.440 Well, it totally is, Candice.
00:34:25.260 And, I mean, this is just what we've come to expect over these past few months.
00:34:28.600 One thing I just don't really understand, though, is that you're seeing the same amount of,
00:34:33.720 you know, you're seeing the same sort of vitriol and the same amount of negative coverage
00:34:37.320 from the legacy media that you would see directed to people like Maxime Bernier.
00:34:42.260 Pierre Polyev's campaign is staffed by pretty establishment figures in conservative politics,
00:34:48.080 people who have been around for many years, who have names inside conservative politics,
00:34:52.860 and journalists know that.
00:34:53.920 Pierre Polyev is not running some outsider anti-establishment campaign.
00:34:58.860 He's very much running from the inside of the conservative party.
00:35:02.780 And it just so happens to be that right now, Canada is going through a major moment where
00:35:07.340 we have a leader that has essentially, you know, severely damaged the trust of government
00:35:12.920 and people and has shown them that their charter rights, frankly, aren't that protected.
00:35:17.700 So, of course, a good candidate is going to jump on that and make it part of his campaign.
00:35:21.160 But it's just it's just kind of weird to me that the legacy media have decided to attack
00:35:27.140 Pierre Polyev so much and almost go go as far as to put him in the same category as someone
00:35:32.820 like Maxime Bernier.
00:35:34.060 It's kind of surprising to me knowing who's a part of Pierre's campaign.
00:35:37.160 And of course, you know, we get the usual content from the Canadian press about how it's just
00:35:43.700 a claim that the conservatives could be lying about this or they could not be telling the
00:35:47.820 truth.
00:35:48.620 And of course, when you compare that to the coverage that Justin Trudeau gets or the
00:35:53.200 coverage that the liberals will get when they have some sort of event like this, it's
00:35:56.640 never the same.
00:35:57.240 And of course, the media wants to take some sort of negative tone toward the conservatives,
00:36:01.620 because as your as your show title on Wednesday really pointed out, this is frightening for
00:36:07.240 the liberals.
00:36:08.000 I mean, this is this is frightening for the legacy media, for liberals, for the establishment
00:36:12.540 in Canada.
00:36:13.600 They have to reconcile with the fact that I think people are fed up with what they've been
00:36:17.240 given by these people.
00:36:18.740 They don't want to see this sort of this sort of constant negative press about them in the
00:36:23.680 media.
00:36:24.140 They don't want to see the government treat them this way.
00:36:26.020 People are fed up and I think they know their time is coming to an end shortly.
00:36:29.640 Absolutely.
00:36:30.340 I think that so much of the momentum behind the poly of campaign and the conservative
00:36:33.780 movement more broadly is just an absolute dismay and disgust over this liberal government,
00:36:40.920 over the way that they've been propped up by the NDP, an unelected coalition, the way
00:36:45.660 that the legacy media lies and covers for this government and the attitude of the Trudeau liberals.
00:36:50.640 I think there are so many Canadians who are apolitical or nonpartisan, who watch from
00:36:55.780 afar, and they've just had enough.
00:36:57.540 They're sick of it.
00:36:58.740 And that is part of the reason why there is this huge movement.
00:37:01.420 And it's like these elites and these gatekeepers and these Laurentians who, you know, they're
00:37:07.100 grasping onto their control of the country and they're seeing it slip away because people
00:37:11.740 are really waking up to this idea that somehow the Trudeau government is a well-run, respectable
00:37:20.120 government.
00:37:20.880 It certainly isn't.
00:37:21.960 Well, Harrison, we wanted to end this show on a bit of a lighter note.
00:37:25.600 I don't know if this is a lighter, if this is depressing or if it's funny.
00:37:29.560 I find it kind of funny.
00:37:30.780 But the Treasury Board of Canada is promoting this weird new concept that we should all put
00:37:37.640 our pronouns into our email.
00:37:39.900 So this is what the Federal Treasury Board of Canada, the people who, you know, basically
00:37:45.960 the people who let inflation run wild and, you know, look at the state of the finances
00:37:50.780 in our country.
00:37:52.160 You're wondering what is going on over at the Treasury Department.
00:37:54.980 Well, this is what the brain trust over there are spending their time on, you know, informational
00:38:00.540 videos shaming Canadians and teaching us these good lessons about how we need to be more
00:38:06.940 inclusive.
00:38:07.280 So let's play this clip.
00:38:37.280 So there you have it, Harrison.
00:38:49.660 We would all be better off if we just, you know, left the ambiguity aside and left the
00:38:55.680 ambiguity aside and put our pronouns right out front and center so that we can all participate
00:39:01.400 in this weird identity game of sort of, you know, the whole gender, non-binary, gender
00:39:09.000 ideology that's all the rage on the far extreme left.
00:39:12.360 Well, now it's reached the Treasury Board.
00:39:15.340 What did you think when you saw this tweet?
00:39:17.360 It's such a strange corporate phenomenon, Candice, that basically everyone in a corporate gig or
00:39:24.040 a government gig needs to display their preferred pronouns by their name.
00:39:27.620 I think in pretty much every big company that is the policy, if you are, if you refuse, if
00:39:32.880 you hold out because you don't believe that you have to disclose whether or not you're
00:39:36.960 you, whether you go by he, him, or she, her pronouns like a normal person.
00:39:40.900 If you hold out like that, you're going to be, you're going to basically be for, you're
00:39:45.360 going to be pressured into doing it, or you're going to be shamed for not, for not adopting
00:39:49.020 this, uh, this so-called, well, it's, it's, it's in the name of inclusivity, of course,
00:39:53.660 but you're, you're not allowed to not do it.
00:39:55.640 And now the government is telling you that you have to do it.
00:39:57.440 It's just such a strange thing.
00:39:58.680 I think, I think in, in, hopefully in my lifetime, at some point, we're all going to look back
00:40:04.540 at this moment in time and just question what we were thinking.
00:40:07.240 I, I really hope this is not something that exists for forever and maybe we can kind of
00:40:11.900 get out of this weird moment that we're living through.
00:40:14.240 And I hope that we do have some time to reflect and say, wow, that's just very strange.
00:40:19.000 Just very strange that we're doing this all of a sudden.
00:40:22.120 Well, first of all, I find the idea of pronouns like fundamentally arrogant and narcissistic
00:40:27.380 because you're basically telling other people who you work with or whom you may interact
00:40:31.540 with, this is how you will refer to me when I'm not around, right?
00:40:34.680 This is, this is how like, like you will, you will refer to me as she and her.
00:40:39.080 You will not refer to me in any other way for 99.9% of the population.
00:40:43.240 It's, it's pretty obvious when you interact with someone and include, this includes trans
00:40:47.080 people, because if you were a man who wanted to appear like a woman, you would dress like
00:40:51.420 a woman and you would want people to refer to you using female pronouns.
00:40:56.120 So the vast, vast overwhelming majority of people fall into a very easily identified category,
00:41:02.160 he or she, and, and, and, you know, it's up to the discretion of the person.
00:41:06.180 Sure.
00:41:06.480 Sometimes there's some awkward interactions like the example of the treasury board where
00:41:09.780 someone has a gender neutral name, an ambiguous name.
00:41:14.080 Okay.
00:41:14.980 You know, fine.
00:41:15.620 You have an awkward little interaction like this email that we, that we saw, you know,
00:41:19.840 how is it the end of the world?
00:41:21.180 This, this more, this idea that, that everyone must call me what I say, you know, I thought
00:41:26.160 it was a passing trend on social media from a couple of years ago, like when the whole
00:41:29.880 Jordan Peterson, uh, you know, I refuse to be compelled to use pronouns.
00:41:34.880 I, I, I really thought that it was kind of going to come and go, but it seems like now
00:41:39.040 it's, it's, you know, it's not just the woke activists, but it's becoming more, like you
00:41:42.980 say, mainstream and corporate and government circles.
00:41:45.740 So we had the treasury board here.
00:41:47.140 Why don't you tell us a bit about this, uh, WestJet story.
00:41:49.980 That's, um, that's also making the headlines in the news.
00:41:53.840 Well, so of course we prep for the, we prep for the show, Candace, uh, the prep has to
00:41:59.540 be, you know, you do have to do a CBC scroll through because if you're ever short on content,
00:42:04.360 just hit the CBC website and you'll find something immediately.
00:42:07.140 And sure enough, before going to the air, we found this, this really strange CBC article
00:42:11.860 where a transgender advocate calls out WestJet for forcing passengers to identify as male
00:42:18.460 or female.
00:42:18.960 Uh, she's very upset about the fact that a WestJet is not allowing, uh, this, I, I, this
00:42:25.640 woman, I said, she, I don't want to misgender anyone.
00:42:28.100 So I want to be careful here, of course, be horrible to offend someone.
00:42:31.360 Uh, but she says that it's, it's a problem because she can't put X on her as her gender.
00:42:37.880 And that because of this WestJet is violating her human rights.
00:42:41.500 Now I have to say, I'm, I'm a bit of a fan of WestJet over these past few days.
00:42:45.320 The WestJet CEO has been pretty vocal about trying to drop Canada's totally punitive and
00:42:50.500 ridiculous travel restrictions.
00:42:52.280 Um, and then here, the CBC, maybe they're trying to get at WestJet for taking shots at
00:42:57.680 the government.
00:42:58.100 Uh, well now apparently they're violating, uh, people's human rights because they're not
00:43:03.160 allowing them to put X as their gender.
00:43:05.120 God forbid.
00:43:06.000 They, they just, they just want to keep it male and female.
00:43:09.120 Um, not allowed to do that in mainstream Canadian culture anymore, Candace.
00:43:12.460 It, you know, you're right that the CBC is so out of touch.
00:43:16.080 It's so easy to just pop on over to the site and you could do an entire episode just on
00:43:19.780 whatever's on the front page there, but really trying to push these very extreme niche issues.
00:43:25.260 I think turning most Canadians off in the process because no one's really, uh, you're jumping
00:43:30.660 up and down saying, yes, someone's human rights are being fundamentally violated because
00:43:34.780 they're not allowed to identify as gender X.
00:43:37.140 Uh, that's, that's not really the top, uh, you know, of all the things going on in the
00:43:41.140 world, we've got inflation, we've got a looming recession, we've got a government with out
00:43:45.200 of control spending.
00:43:46.100 We, we have a fundamentally unserious prime minister, you know, for all the things to
00:43:50.900 worry about in Canada, um, oh, not, not to mention any of the COVID stuff.
00:43:55.500 Uh, I don't think that, that someone not being able to mark X as gender on a WestJet
00:43:59.540 website, uh, is really top of mind to most Canadians.
00:44:02.900 Well, I think that's a good point to end it, Harrison.
00:44:04.800 Thanks for joining fake news Friday.
00:44:06.280 We're really excited about your new show ratioed with Harrison Faulkner, which airs every Thursday
00:44:10.500 here at true north.
