A legacy media journalist in Canada has officially asked the world's worst question to a Canadian politician. It is stunning to me that legacy media journalists can wake up in the morning knowing that they are just going to breezily go down to a press conference and just casually accuse a conservative politician of being like a far-right Nazi or being in league with far-left Nazis. And they are not going to get any pushback?

00:00:00.000 Well, they finally did it. A legacy media journalist in Canada has officially asked the world's worst question to a Canadian politician. It is stunning to me that legacy media journalists can wake up in the morning knowing that they're just going to breezily go down to a press conference and just casually accuse a conservative politician of being like a far right Nazi or being in league with far right Nazis. And they're not going to get any pushback.
00:00:21.880 It really demonstrates how badly the Aaron O'Toole era made the conservative party look that the conservatives were so weak under Aaron O'Toole that legacy media journals could just throw any nonsensical question at the conservative leader and that they were going to answer it like in good faith, despite how bad faith the question was.
00:00:40.480 But I want to go over to the clip just a little bit here. But I think pure Paliyev absolutely knocked the response out of the park and his response was effectively no response and just absolutely needling the sternals for even having the gall to ask such a ridiculous question.
00:00:56.560 Hello, Mr. Paliyev. A number of your own comments and actions have been characterized as dog whistling to the far right.
00:01:04.460 By who?
00:01:06.060 By a number of different.
00:01:07.420 By who?
00:01:07.660 But I think it's been characterized by that way.
00:01:10.400 By who?
00:01:10.640 But are you trying to court the far right vote?
00:01:11.900 Sorry, I just need to clarify. By who?
00:01:15.660 By a number of different experts and a number of different people who work in this.
00:01:22.100 Well, I think it's been established that this is a concern. Are you trying to court the far right vote?
00:01:27.520 Sorry, who are these experts? You say that there are experts who are saying this. Who are they?
00:01:31.700 My question is, are you trying to court the far right vote?
00:01:33.880 I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Your question seems to be based on a false premise. You can't even tell me who these experts are. It sounds like it's just a CBC smear job. Thank you.
00:01:44.940 But what about the question about whether that's the question?
00:01:47.240 The answer is that I have a common sense agenda to axe the carbon tax, bring home powerful paychecks, clear the way to build affordable homes, to put people in housing that they can afford.
00:02:00.260 That is a common sense, mainstream Canadian agenda.
00:02:04.140 And I know that Justin Trudeau's supporters are so desperate to distract from that because his political career is falling apart.
00:02:11.460 So we're seeing we're seeing an attempt here to distract and protect Justin Trudeau from his extremely unpopular carbon taxes and other failing policies.
00:02:21.860 But we won't let him or his or others distract from that reality.
00:02:26.620 So thank you.
00:02:27.400 So you're not going to answer that question.
00:02:28.620 I think that it's not at all a exaggeration to say that that's a masterclass in how to deal with the Canadian media these days, or at least the legacy media, the independent media tends to be far, far more fair to people.
00:02:40.940 But that was a global news journalist, Teresa Wright, asking that question.
00:02:46.120 And by far my favorite part after Peter Polly, it keeps asking her by who when she's alleging that there's like tons of people concerned that he's dogless into the far right.
00:02:56.080 She just sort of, you know, coolly says, oh, I think we've established the fact that people are saying this.
00:03:01.160 So can you please answer the question?
00:03:02.540 And it's like, what, like, maybe Teresa, right, is like a very nice person in her, like her own life, but like, what a nasty thing to actually go and accuse someone of, because we have to understand the implication of saying, are you dog whistling to the far right?
00:03:16.240 Isn't this kind of a whoopsie?
00:03:18.000 Are you kind of maybe doing this thing a little wrong?
00:03:20.580 Should you maybe, you know, correct the way that you're phrasing things?
00:03:23.280 Like, no, the question's premise is that you're an evil, awful person trying to court Nazis and other extremists and racists to your cause.
00:03:32.960 That's what generally far right is taken to mean.
00:03:36.280 Like, that's absolutely awful.
00:03:38.320 And it's great that Peter Polly did not accept the premise of the question and went after her for being just awful at her job.
00:03:45.160 And again, this is kind of a bit of a follow-up to my previous video about what I, like, what I titled that, the Liberal Party are the real conspiracy theorists.
00:03:54.920 And I would also attach the legacy media to that, that it's insane that all the legacy media outlets a few days ago put out the exact same Canadian press story,
00:04:03.980 alleging that somehow Peter Polly and the Conservatives were embracing conspiracy theory language because they're just, they simply do not agree with the WEF and they don't agree with the things that WEF says at their conferences and puts on their website.
00:04:16.140 That was considered like conspiracy theories by the Conservative Party, that Peter Polly doesn't like the WEF.
00:04:22.880 But it's never a conspiracy theory that the legacy media and the Liberals and the NDP effectively accused the Conservatives of always being in league with shadowy right-wing racist people,
00:04:33.260 that they can never point to a name, they can't even point to their source alleging that Peter Polly is somehow, like, in league with the far right,
00:04:40.460 because that person would get mocked mercilessly, so no one's going to actually directly make that claim on, like, make that claim with their own name behind it.
00:04:49.980 Like, yeah, every once in a while you get a left-wing crank who is willing to say, well, I think Peter Polly is in line with, like, whatever, like, the Sons of Odin.
00:04:57.700 But it's, like, usually some nobody, but nobody with any credibility or with any undeserved credibility is ever going to actually put their credibility at risk by actually, like, signing their name to that.
00:05:10.280 But, you know, journalists like Teresa Wright will still allege that people out there are saying this garbage.
00:05:15.720 And, like, again, I think the reason why Peter Polly's, like, answer was so good is that I don't think enough Canadians really understand
00:05:27.500 that whenever that you see a story alleging that a Conservative politician is somehow acting inappropriately in terms of their political positions,
00:05:35.940 they, you know, so infrequently has it ever actually exposed the, like, the nothing that the legacy media has to back up their claims.
00:05:44.720 Again, Teresa Wright literally just defaults to saying, well, a lot of people are saying it.
00:05:49.000 Well, what, like, I could go up to Justin Trudeau, and, again, no independent media journalist would ever dream of doing this,
00:05:54.500 going up to Justin Trudeau and saying, a lot of people out there are saying you're a communist.
00:05:58.860 What are you going to, what's your response to a lot of people saying that you're enabling the far left in Antifa?
00:06:04.040 Like, that's a very out there question that's not exactly serious and is very, very bad faith.
00:06:10.080 And no independent media journalist would ever ask that.
00:06:12.580 Yet the legacy media, who fancies themselves, these high-level professionals, so much better than the sort of, like, junky independent media,
00:06:20.240 they'll basically go up to the microphone at a press conference and say, are you in league with Nazism?
00:06:25.360 Like, it's just patently absurd, and it demonstrates their paranoid conspiratorial thinking when it comes to dealing with conservatives in the media.
00:06:34.300 And I think that, not that it proves it, it's just another piece of evidence, that the legacy media is obviously colluding against the Conservative Party.
00:06:44.040 I guarantee you, no legacy media outlet like CTV News, City News, Global, or, you know, CBC, will call out Theresa Wright as having, like, and her question as being inappropriate.
00:06:55.740 They're not going to follow up on this and say, yeah, I think people should be more fair to conservative politicians, like, at press conferences when they're, you know, sending them questions that the questions should be in good faith and not have, you know, negative implications baked into them.
00:07:11.540 Because if Pierre answered that question and he said, no, I'm not trying to dog whistle to the far right, that's not what I'm trying to do, the premise of the question is effectively that there's enough information out there to suggest he's doing that.
00:07:24.760 So him answering the question is already effectively giving it some sort of power over him.
00:07:31.340 It's acting as if that question is legitimate and that people should be concerned about it.
00:07:35.400 And again, legacy media will never call out their own for acting in this way towards conservative politicians.
00:07:43.560 And I think that effectively constitutes informal collusion in the legacy media world.
00:07:48.800 They know that Justin Trudeau and the Liberals are holding the purse strings and that they're willing to fund them.
00:07:53.480 So, and they know that the pure poly of the conservatives want to defund the legacy media because they're unfairly using a lot of taxpayer money to not do a very good job and to do a very biased job at delivering the news.
00:08:05.420 So they're going to askew every single story, any single, every narrative in the mainstream press to being anti-conservative, to always asking sort of these questions about if the conservatives are up to anything.
00:08:17.780 And should we be worried about the conservatives without justification, they will never do the same thing for the liberals, even though the liberal scandals that they keep dealing with would suggest that you should maybe ask a little bit more questions about the motives and the audiences the liberals are reaching out to, especially with the CCP interference scandal that's currently still going on.
00:08:36.500 But, you know, who cares?
00:08:38.260 The legacy media, they're the legitimate people that are on television and are, you know, backed up by the CRTC.
00:08:44.100 So never ask, never ask a question about them.
00:08:46.780 It's just those independent reporters like me sitting in our basements who are the evil people because, you know, we don't have the nice credentials and the press passes.
00:08:55.520 Well, whatever.
00:08:56.800 But that's the end of this video.
00:08:58.200 And I just wanted to plug my legal fundraiser that I have going.
00:09:01.260 I'm being sued by a Chinese billionaire at the moment.
00:09:03.760 I'm winning that lawsuit.
00:09:04.760 My lawyer, Jonathan, does it.
00:09:06.540 This is fantastic if you're in the Calgary area.
00:09:08.560 And if you ever want, if you ever need legal services done, he's over at Guardian Law.
00:09:12.940 But I have a Give, Send, Go legal fundraiser that I'm linking in the description of this video if you want to contribute a couple dollars just to help me pay for it.
00:09:20.420 I've already had to pay $15,000 into defending myself.
00:09:24.120 And I'm also going to put in a link to TNT's email list so that because of Bill C18 and it's really hard to get information out there, if you guys sign up to that email list, we'll be able to directly send you some of the articles we write and the videos we make.
00:09:37.720 Because especially articles these days are very, very difficult to distribute online since you can't put any Canadian news on Facebook or Google thanks to the liberals.
00:09:46.860 So if you could do that, that'd be great.
00:09:48.800 And, you know, have a nice day despite having to live in Justin Trudeau's Canada.
