Someone needs to give Prime Minister Justin Trudeau an Oscar because there's something so enjoyable about him trying to generate faux outrage at his own plans backfiring on him. I'm not sure if you've heard about it, but Bell Canada is cutting over 4,000 jobs in their organization because despite all of the government subsidies and other subsidies to their Canadian news programming, it's all losing money. Government subsidies do not actually make organizations profitable. If anything, it actually gets them to double down on the sorts of things that were making them lose money in the first place.
00:00:00.000Someone needs to give Prime Minister Justin Trudeau an Oscar because there's something so enjoyable about him trying to generate faux outrage at his own plans backfiring on him.
00:00:11.220I'm not sure if you've heard about it, but Bell Canada is cutting over 4,000 jobs in their organization because despite all of the government wage subsidies and other subsidies to their Canadian news programming, it's all losing money.
00:00:25.600Government subsidies do not actually make organizations profitable. If anything, it actually gets them to double down on the sorts of things that were making them lose money in the first place.
00:00:35.360And Bell Canada is experiencing this in a very hard way, and they're realizing that they just have to cut this stuff.
00:00:41.600They're cutting morning and noon hour CTV news programming. They're cutting a lot of other news shows, television shows, Canadian media type stuff because it's simply not even worth the subsidies.
00:00:53.260So watch this press answer that Justin Trudeau gave. Outraged that Bell Canada would do this at all. He can't understand why they wouldn't just do more propaganda for him because that's really what he's mad about. He's mad that they're not going to do more propaganda. Look at this.
00:01:10.400This is a garbage decision by a corporation.
00:01:15.540Oh, a garbage decision by a corporation, no doubt.
00:01:18.480No better. We've seen over the past years, journalistic outlets, radio stations, small community newspapers bought up by corporate entities.
00:01:29.460Yes, because you make it impossible to operate in Canada, so they get bought up by larger corporations who can handle the regulations until they can't like Bell Media and then they just cut stuff.
00:01:41.540Oh, goodness, man, Justin, look at your own regulations.
00:01:45.780Who then lay off journalists, change the offering, the quality of offering to people, and then when people don't watch as much or engage as much, the corporate entity says, oh, see, they're not profitable anymore. We're going to sell them off.
00:02:02.240Yes, yes, when people do not watch the programming, the ads fall in quality and advertisers won't pay as much for them.
00:02:11.540Unless you're willing to give them each a billion dollars, all the media corporations, and then give the CBC another 500 million like they're asking for, they're not going to be able to keep these programs.
00:02:23.420Justin Trudeau is basically saying, well, why aren't they doing my propaganda at a loss?
00:02:27.400They're already getting a lot of money, but it just demonstrates that liberal propaganda is so unappealing, people are just not even bothering to watch.
00:02:33.740And he's saying, why won't they lose money for me? Don't they love me? Don't they know that I'm basically their dad at this point?
00:02:43.240How could they attack their dad like this?
00:02:46.280Like Justin Trudeau is faux outrage. Give him an Oscar. He's like Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood or Anthony Hopkins in The Remains of the Day.
00:03:00.060This is the erosion, not just of journalism, of quality local journalism at a time where people need it more than ever, given misinformation and disinformation.
00:03:15.580Our abilities to tell stories to each other of how people's lives are, stories that reflect our own communities and not central offices in our biggest cities, is part of what binds this country together from coast to coast.
00:03:32.900If you watch all of this liberal government subsidized media, it is the Toronto bubble.
00:05:22.100They need, like, as a government, we have been stepping up over the past years, fighting for local journalism, fighting for investments that we can have all the way up.
00:05:30.720I can't even post my stuff on Facebook anymore.
00:05:44.640And I can't even access my 75,000 follower Facebook page anymore.
00:05:50.240I had more traction than many large corporate media outlets.
00:05:54.860And Justin Trudeau, in a fake, false attempt to get journalists money, is extorting Facebook into making it so expensive that I'm not even allowed to access my Facebook page anymore.
00:06:04.900And I don't blame Mark Zuckerberg or Facebook.
00:06:07.920They're just doing what they have to do.
00:06:09.580They're not going to be extorted for millions of dollars a year.
00:06:12.000$156 million is what they estimated they'd have to pay to keep their news online.
00:06:15.580So Justin Trudeau will be like, oh, I can't believe they're letting down local journalism.
00:06:21.140The only thing that, you're the one, like, letting down local journalism.
00:06:24.580The only thing you've done for local journalism is done wage subsidies so that places like the CBC can hire more liberal journalists in small local areas.
00:08:01.100The CBC fell in quality not because of his subsidies, not because of his taxpayer money being given to them
00:08:07.240and them being turned into liberal pablum spewers.
00:08:12.140It's your fault for not demanding that they be high enough quality.
00:08:15.400You know, no liberal policy fails on its own terms.
00:08:20.080It always fails because you didn't try hard enough for Justin Trudeau.
00:08:23.540You know, you're all going to get a cut in your pay because I guess he's, like, from what Justin Trudeau is saying,
00:08:29.940I'm an employee of the Liberal Party, and I was supposed to try harder to make sure that we kept quality up.
00:08:34.980I'm not responsible for the corporate media that you subsidize.
00:08:39.120They're responsible for themselves, and you're partially responsible for them because you keep saddling them with subsidies that if they want, they have to do what you say.
00:08:47.800I don't even know who I am since Bell Canada decided they were going to cut these things because there wasn't enough Canadian stories floating around the ether.
00:09:15.540There wasn't enough stories about, I don't know.
00:09:26.020I tried to watch a friend on the CBC the other day, Raheem Mohamed, a really good friend.
00:09:31.220He was debating, like, Rachel Gilmore on CBC News.
00:09:34.540So I had to download the CBC Gem app, which made my eyes bleed just to have to do that little bit.
00:09:40.400And just to watch his segment where he was talking with Rachel and another guest who's some guy I actually sometimes like to watch his interviews.
00:10:15.900And somehow I still need to watch 20 ads at probably more like 25 because I didn't even get through the entire 45-minute, like, show of all the different segments they had.
00:10:27.860I had to watch, like, legitimately 12 minutes of ads to get to, like, the 25-minute mark of it to see my friend on the show.
00:10:37.260And I even had to watch a bunch of ads halfway through the segment.
00:10:40.800I know some of you will say, well, I had to watch ads to watch you on YouTube.
00:10:45.740These are, like, 45-second ads, and you've got to watch three of them in a row multiple times throughout, like, one show on the CBC.
00:10:55.020The CBC is horrible, and it's because of Justin Trudeau.
00:10:58.500If the CBC was privatized, they would actually probably figure out how to be profitable, and they would keep on living.
00:11:04.240Right now, what Justin Trudeau is doing with media subsidies is actually guaranteeing a lot of these media companies never bounce back because his subsidies are poison-pilled.
00:11:15.980And once all the subsidies go away, they're not going to be able to have any reserve of an audience left to bring people back because people in Canada just learned that TV sucks.
00:11:42.820It's the same story over and over again from a liberal selection-biased perspective where, yes, they technically sound neutral while they cover the story, but they leave out all the facts that would maybe take you into a conclusion.
00:11:55.640That would make you go towards a conclusion that wasn't liberal-approved.
00:12:01.800Anyways, like I always do, I just want to quickly plug the fact that I, Wyatt Claypool, am running for the Calgary-Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination.
00:12:10.980So if you live in this riding, it's on the west side of Calgary.
00:12:20.300And make sure you vote for me number one on your ballot whenever the nomination date is set.
00:12:24.180We don't know when it's going to be yet.
00:12:25.460Probably after April when riding boundaries change.
00:12:27.560That's all, yeah, so it'll take a while for us to even figure out when it is, but buyer membership now, just a one-year, and you'll be good.
00:12:34.900And then I also have my legal defense fund in the description below.
00:12:39.120There's some, like, a little bit of a description of what's going on with this developer suing us over complete nonsense.
00:12:45.160You want to give us some money, it really helps reduce the burden of costs on us.
00:12:48.620We've had to pay over $25,000 defending ourselves.
00:12:51.280We're going to win, but because Alberta does not have anti-slap laws, I cannot get this case dismissed early, so we've been having to fight it out way longer than we should.
