00:09:59.640 canada nanosilver.ca you know kev tells me this is probably the biggest question he gets most

00:10:07.140 often like daily doesn't that silver stuff turn your skin blue because every i guess it was phil

00:10:15.400 donahue a few years ago like 20 25 years ago who had a guy on his show who was blue from taking

00:10:22.680 colloidal silver well first of all this is not colloidal silver in that form this is nanotechnology

00:10:28.660 this is different and by the way this is a good nanotechnology not the bad nanotechnology that

00:10:34.420 you people, some of you people might be a little bit scared up. Did I say you people like Don

00:10:39.060 Sherry? Oh my God. What is Argeria? Well, first of all, that's the condition, blue man syndrome,

00:10:45.020 right? Our main concern or one main concern that individual is not our concern. We know our stuff

00:10:52.760 doesn't do the blue man thing, but people have this concern that individuals may have with silver

00:10:58.120 products is that rare skin condition known as Argeria, otherwise known as the blue man syndrome.

00:11:04.420 Put simply, argyria is a result of there being so much chemical or ionic silver in the body at one time

00:11:10.820 that the body cannot dispose of it fast enough through its normal excretion systems.

00:11:15.900 In order to get rid of this excess silver, the body walls it off in the cells.

00:11:19.460 This causes grayish-blue discoloration of the skin and other bodily tissues.

00:11:23.940 Although this condition is medically benign and cosmetic only, in most cases the discoloration is permanent.

00:11:31.260 What causes it and what doesn't?

00:11:33.060 Well, nano-silver technology does not cause this condition.

00:11:39.480 Understanding the obvious fears individuals may have with acquiring Argyria,

00:11:43.400 let us settle your concerns with simple, clear, and proven facts.

00:11:47.240 And you can read more about this on the website, Canada Nano.

00:11:51.260 And while you're there, go do some shopping, canadananosilver.ca.

00:11:55.220 Again, that is canadananosilver.ca.

00:11:57.560 The retail locations are obviously on the Retail Locations tab,

00:12:00.860 If you would like to become a retailer of these awesome products, even if it's only to have that blue man skin syndrome conversation with somebody, get a hold of Kevin and Anna through the contact tab at CanadaNanoSilver.ca.

00:12:16.160 For those of you who missed the video the other day, it's gotten so many shares, so many likes, so many plays on Facebook, and I'm hoping now on X.

00:12:27.220 But for those of you that didn't see it

00:12:29.960 Here he is, Cosman the trucker

00:12:32.640 Attempting

00:12:34.020 In the most good natured way

00:12:36.060 To shake hands with these militarized RCMP officers

00:12:39.260 Let's watch this

00:12:40.160 May I shake your hand, sir?

00:12:42.160 You need to show everybody. This is the first step to change.

00:12:50.160 We're here together. We're not here against each other.

00:12:53.160 Thank you for being here.

00:12:55.160 Sir, may I shake your hand, please?

00:12:57.160 Please?

00:12:59.160 Sir, may I shake your hand, please?

00:13:01.160 Thank you for being here.

00:13:03.160 Sir, may I shake your hand, please?

00:13:05.160 No?

00:13:07.160 Thank you for being here. May I shake your hand, please? No. Thank you for being here.

00:13:16.100 No

00:13:22.400 May I shake your hand, sir? No. Thank you for being here. May I shake your hand, sir? No.

00:13:29.480 Thank you for being here, sir. I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

00:13:37.160 i mean that from the bottom of my heart this guy looks embarrassed he looks ashamed he's ashamed

00:13:44.760 show unity and love i see the love in your heart i see the love in your eyes

00:13:49.840 no it's okay thank you for being here i appreciate you

00:13:53.620 you know you can't help but feel and i know that some of you're not in agreement with me on this

00:14:01.560 But you can't help but feel for some of these people.

00:14:06.960 And I suppose that the reason that some of them didn't shake hands

00:14:10.840 and are doing this job, the money and trying to take care of bills

00:14:14.540 and pay for their family and whatnot,

00:14:16.160 but some of them still have that instinct inside of them

00:14:19.380 that I've put 20 years of my life into this job 1.00

00:14:22.820 and I'm not going to throw it away now over some idiot making bad decisions. 1.00

00:14:26.460 I'm going to do this. I'm going to hate myself for it. 1.00

00:14:28.700 but I will find a way for redemption at one point in my life.

00:14:33.720 At least I'm hoping that that's what some of these officers were thinking in

00:14:38.620 that moment.

00:14:39.860 Cosman,

00:14:40.260 the trucker was with us.

00:14:42.840 Let's see.

00:14:43.440 Cosman,

00:14:43.900 turn your camera on,

00:14:44.780 buddy.

00:14:44.940 Hey,

00:14:45.080 there you are.

00:14:45.500 How are you doing?

00:14:46.000 Thank you for coming on the show tonight.

00:14:47.500 We appreciate you taking the time.

00:14:49.740 Thank you for having me,

00:14:51.060 man.

00:14:51.300 That's awesome.

00:14:51.920 I was watching that,

00:14:52.720 listening to you.

00:14:53.400 You're amazing.

00:14:54.320 I appreciate you.

00:14:56.440 Cosman,

00:14:56.960 what was going through your mind?

00:14:58.600 what first of all what made you decide to go and do that um i knew what tactic they were using

00:15:05.940 so they were switching them out every 40 30 to 45 minutes because psychologically from a

00:15:11.680 psychological point of view if you listen to something for more than an hour you're going to

00:15:15.900 start to be more attracted to it in a sense right so they that's why their ears were covered their

00:15:23.200 eyes were covered everything was covered and i even saved men their hearts were covered and that's

00:15:27.720 the worst right because when we put money over life there's something's wrong something is wrong

00:15:35.320 how many of because i think we only saw part of it i'm not sure if we saw it from completely

00:15:41.180 the beginning to the end how many of them were there that you went through there do you have any

00:15:46.140 idea ah man if i had to say maybe there was 15 to 20 on the team and then you had three

00:15:56.780 three to five hang around in the back keep talking to each other they kept changing right and i wasn't

00:16:03.120 really paying attention i don't i'm not worried how many i've uh ran the crowds before by myself

00:16:08.840 to protect people so now the reason i ask that is simply because i just wanted to get a feel

00:16:14.960 for how many of them were standing there in that line like that you know i mean they looked so

00:16:18.880 militarized many of them looked like they had no emotion whatsoever and i guess that's part of the

00:16:23.800 shtick that's the scary part that's the scary part um out of all of them there was two or three

00:16:30.580 maybe that i could feel an emotional uh you know pain from like you can see it in their eyes right

00:16:38.520 there's even another one at the end of that video that one was cut short uh the guy was

00:16:43.540 couldn't look me in the eye he kept looking around like he was i really felt for him i'm not

00:16:49.000 i don't hate these people i feel bad for them because you said it they're trying to pay their

00:16:54.160 bills right and unfortunately they're the most if i say indoctrinated i'll be hated so let's just

00:16:59.560 say they're the most misled right because they believe unfortunately they believe in a system

00:17:05.240 that gives them a sense of safety but that system has been compromised it's not the system that

00:17:11.120 they think it is anymore and if you know anybody that's been in a communist country or come from

00:17:15.700 a communist country i'm romanian if anybody knows that they know what that means right um and so

00:17:22.520 where the way i count look at it is in 1989 romania dealt with it very violently they got away from

00:17:29.940 communism violently right i don't have to tell you the story but i don't want to get your show banned

00:17:34.000 i know sometimes you can't say things but there was there was another country that did it very

00:17:38.700 peaceful there was actually three countries and it was called the baltic way right it was 1989 and

00:17:44.800 they had over two million people from the ages of five and either 75 and 80 i don't remember

00:17:53.400 across three countries in a peaceful revolution against the soviet union communism and it worked

00:17:59.980 right that was uh that was in poland right i think there was one of the countries that you're

00:18:06.920 probably talking about like when's that in the solidarity movement maybe is the are they along

00:18:12.120 the baltic way i'm i'm sorry i know where romania is and where ukraine and hungary because i'm from

00:18:18.080 romania so i pay a lot of attention to that part of the map it's close by yeah right yeah but it

00:18:23.100 is like northeast europe right way northeast europe along the baltic water there ocean or

00:18:29.160 river sorry no that's all right so tell us more about that that's that's fascinating because this

00:18:33.900 is something that i've so go ahead no please please finish it i'll go ahead no i was i've been

00:18:40.000 talking about something like this you know um and and the organizers of the current protest this

00:18:46.300 nationwide protest against the carbon tax have got it right you know we're supposed to be behaving

00:18:51.280 ourselves and there was a video that i played the night before last and there was a woman yelling

00:18:58.120 and screaming and carrying on and i thought to myself this is not good this is not the way we

00:19:05.200 should be handling this and i understand that people's nerves are afraid and that we're we're

00:19:09.420 the end of our ropes and you know the frustration people can't pay their bills this carbon taxes

00:19:14.460 is really you know now especially with this increase this really dragging people down

00:19:19.760 there's people i was talking yeah i'm sorry to interrupt you there's a father here

00:19:25.100 with three children in a pt cruiser and that's where this that's where they live

00:19:30.640 and if they go park somewhere else listen to me if they go park somewhere else they'll get kicked

00:19:37.640 out of the parking lot do you know how disgusting this country is i'm sorry to get emotional but

00:19:43.220 he's got three kids in that car man and the system pushed him to that oh sorry i used to

00:19:53.040 cry on the dime so she i think i get it from her i don't know if it's a blessing or a curse but

00:19:59.480 um you know there's real people suffering out here and the reality is the hierarchy

00:20:05.860 continue sorry i know i cut you off again i do that's all right that's okay that's okay man

00:20:11.060 that's why you're here talk to us appreciate you yeah okay so you know where so about the baltic

00:20:18.480 way they they took gene sharp's method and applied it flawlessly right you know you know what tragedy

00:20:26.680 is you know you think a lot of the times you think tragedy is people getting hurt or people

00:20:31.540 passing away and even though that is a very very painful tragedy hiding useful information is also

00:20:37.700 tragedy a lot of people don't even know who gene sharp is this man was a university professor at

00:20:46.140 harvard university i believe he had tenure and it is hard to lose tenure and he wrote a book

00:20:51.820 and he the book got black shelf he lost his job he lost 10 he lost everything i don't know if you

00:20:57.780 ever heard of gene sharp but he wrote a book it was called a peaceful revolution from dictatorship

00:21:04.080 to democracy yeah this is what you pointed out during our phone call this afternoon so i spent

00:21:08.880 a little bit of time and looked it up a little bit can you tell us more about this yeah so um i

00:21:14.340 got what i could i audible doesn't have it the only place ironically to find anything right now

00:21:18.900 is youtube so after this after everybody watches this if they can just go watch gene sharp that's

00:21:24.380 more important than anything i say because it brings us all to the level of consciousness see

00:21:28.060 we also have to understand along with manipulation our spirituality has been hijacked

00:21:32.700 and i can prove it to you do you know the kundalini symbol i bet you don't right

00:21:37.300 nope do you know the sedacious symbol nope or sedious the health symbol so it's the staff

00:21:43.840 with the snakes and the two wings you know that symbol the health symbol yeah that's called the

00:21:49.420 seduceus right that's what the doctors wear is i said it wrong i apologize right okay so

00:21:55.840 this used this used to be the kundalini symbol it is the kundalini symbol just like they hid

00:22:02.600 all the information about the real king of romania in the 1400s and they turned it into

00:22:07.560 him being a dracula a vampire they did this with a lot of information they hid it

00:22:15.560 what did your parents tell you about what it was like living in romania back then

00:22:23.180 i'm sure you've heard the story my my dad talks about the army a lot he was in the army and he

00:22:29.500 was a driver in the army so um he told me something i don't really i don't know if you

00:22:36.840 i don't really have a relationship with my parents i'm sorry yeah i grew up in a group home and i

00:22:43.700 got out lived on the streets made some mistakes learned from them and it made me the man i am

00:22:48.060 today tell us about who you are yeah i find you to be a very very fascinating uh individual and

00:22:57.020 the fact that you could go and talk to that line of police i mean they were obviously the reason

00:23:02.460 they were there was simply for intimidation purposes i mean that's why they were right

00:23:06.820 and you walked up to them and you with love in your heart and you offered to shake hands

00:23:12.080 save the country where does that come from so like i said i grew up on the streets so being

00:23:21.660 street smart is very important to success understanding psychology the most amazing

00:23:28.900 thing that has happened to me is downloading audible on my phone and i'm a long hauler

00:23:33.640 so i've listened to books over the last 10 years because people used to tell me you know say what

00:23:40.340 you believe and believe in what you say so i started doing that but then it was wrong because

00:23:44.640 there were just ideas in my head and people would call me out on it so i said okay fine let me find

00:23:49.220 out in history what happened because what we know for sure what we know is that how do i say this

00:23:55.720 you can't go through something that somebody hasn't already gone through and written down

00:24:00.580 right so i was able to conquer many demons because of the books that i listened to

00:24:08.300 and that wasn't possible until audible because i'm illiterate i'm learning disabled

00:24:12.700 i can't read information i can't read i can't retain information when i read it

00:24:19.080 my brain i have severe adhd it won't i won't it won't pay attention so and when and you know what

00:24:26.260 i'm going to do something for you i didn't i didn't even set this up watch this i don't know

00:24:29.540 do you want to see something sure this is how can i explain this to you here look on audible in order

00:24:35.020 for my brain to pay attention i have to listen to it at twice the speed so i'm showing you here

00:24:41.320 this is my audible right watch when i play this this is the personal mba master whatever i listen

00:24:48.820 to i don't know if you can hear it it's at two times the speed i don't know if you can see that

00:24:55.480 yeah yeah if i don't if i don't listen to it at that speed or even sometimes at 1.5 but

00:25:03.600 my brain doesn't retain the information

00:25:06.640 so I just

00:25:09.580 my son is 7 years old

00:25:12.400 and we had this meeting with his teachers

00:25:14.540 his principals and everything

00:25:15.700 and they wanted to push him on Ritalin

00:25:17.280 and I said listen to me

00:25:19.600 I went through this

00:25:20.720 this is not happening

00:25:22.000 just because you don't want to adjust the way that you teach 30 children

00:25:25.480 in one room doesn't mean my son has a problem

00:25:27.940 if you're not interesting

00:25:29.640 that's not his fault

00:25:30.840 and we never heard it sometimes if he has a bad day i'll take him out and i'll take him to the

00:25:37.000 arcade and i'll let him know it's okay because i know that it's indoctrination but it's the system

00:25:42.240 and i put him in it so he knows how to socialize it's very important to know how to talk to people

00:25:46.780 i didn't have that i started my life out with a life sentence with a nine-year bid in in the

00:25:53.200 group homes that's basically like like closed custody or open custody for youth wow yeah how

00:26:02.940 did you get i want to be able to give them that freedom because i didn't know when i got out i

00:37:00.700 it to be true in 1825 the rothschilds saved the bank of england from bankruptcy after 1100 years

00:37:08.440 they finally succeeded it we have proof that they tried in the year 1100 and they failed and they

00:37:13.700 got kicked out and when you google anti-semit i'm not racist sir at all i'm not racist i love

00:37:19.260 everybody but while i'm saying that you have to understand that the word victim translated into

00:37:25.360 hebrew means sacrifice they're sacrificing their own people not just us and our babies

00:37:32.520 so i don't want to get racist or nothing just if you if you look at history just look at history

00:37:47.500 started a separate channel called hands across canada right and that's what i'm so because they

00:37:53.220 hijacked they hijacked uh our country and we know it to be true like you know our financial system

00:37:59.680 was different prior to 1987 right yeah yeah so we used to loan to our own we used to print our 0.56

00:38:06.400 own money loan to local businesses we were thriving and then it got hijacked by the hierarchy

00:38:12.060 but even before then this country started getting colonized and it hasn't stopped

00:38:16.980 those guys you saw they were misled colonizers reservations or segregation and if natives who

00:39:31.400 to give us a thumbs up and a share on rumble we still have a whole bunch more to cover tonight

00:39:37.960 The NDP, we found out today, the federal NDP is not going to have a bunch of candidates running in the next election,

00:39:44.320 whatever that happens to be, that they've had for the past decade or so, including Charlie Angus, three NDP MPs.

00:39:52.040 Now, people are saying, it's only three, Shadow, it's not a big deal.

00:39:56.040 Well, three out of 25 is one-eighth.

00:40:00.020 That's kind of a big deal, and there's probably going to be more coming,

00:40:02.860 because they know that with the redistricting of all of the boundaries,

00:40:08.100 they're adding five more seats, by the way, to the MP map across the country.

00:40:14.900 And all of these urban ridings that the NDP has been winning, and the liberals too,

00:40:19.960 are going to be combined with a lot of rural voters now.

00:40:23.000 The NDP know they haven't got a chance to win, or at least these candidates, these MPs know,

00:40:28.060 they haven't got a chance to win these seats anymore.

00:40:30.560 They're probably going to go conservative.

00:40:31.880 So instead of trying to win, they're just retiring.

00:40:36.160 And knowing now that the election has been put back a week,

00:40:38.900 they're definitely going to get their pensions.

00:40:41.340 Charlie Angus, Carol Hughes, and Rachel Blaney have announced

00:40:44.360 they'll not be seeking re-election.

00:40:45.960 This decision, which affects constituencies across Canada,

00:40:49.260 including Timmons, James Bay, North Island, Powell River, and Algoma, Manitoulin,

00:40:54.200 Kappas Kaysing, has sparked discussions about the future of the NDP under Jagmeet Singh.

00:41:00.220 The reasons for their decisions vary,

00:41:02.280 with Blaney citing a desire to focus on her family and stay closer to home,

00:41:06.280 while speculation about the impact on the party's representation

00:41:09.020 and potential lack of confidence in Jagmeet Singh has also been raised.

00:41:13.780 Now, Pierre Polyev put out a tweet today.

00:41:16.520 He and Charlie Angus do not get along at all.

00:41:19.940 So, Polyev's tweet was not exactly polite.

00:41:23.960 It wasn't, thank you for all your years of service.

00:41:26.320 It was, you're running like a scared dog.

00:41:29.320 I'm paraphrasing here. 0.99

00:41:30.620 You're running like a scared dog, you piece of blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 0.99

00:41:34.880 It wasn't that bad, but it wasn't very complimentary.

00:41:38.260 And so, of course, the liberals and the NDP all over X are losing their minds about this.

00:41:43.960 Oh, my God, how rude.

00:41:45.180 This is so, this is not parliamentary.

00:41:47.420 This is not prime ministerial.

00:41:49.040 Oh, my God.

00:41:51.780 Really, it's not prime ministerial like maybe getting caught with cocaine on your plane in India.

00:41:57.460 remember that i was out for a walk this morning and i was trying to think of all the justin

00:42:03.840 trudeau transgressions over the years because there have been so many and they've been so

00:42:07.940 staggeringly huge that you forget some of the lesser ones

00:42:12.120 and that's one that really didn't get publicized so much at least not in the canadian media because

00:42:19.980 they're all controlled by trudeau with 800 million dollars or so in funding but the world media was

00:42:27.200 having a field day with that cocaine on a plane in india that's why he was delayed there for an

00:42:34.560 extra two or three days the last time he was there they found blow on his plane

00:42:40.140 never got questioned about it wiretap media made this post today on x the trudeau government inches

00:42:49.700 canada closer to communism now think about how once you listen to this and i'm going to try

00:42:57.080 my best everybody to make it through the entire thing it's not that long i'm going to try my best

00:43:05.400 to make it through the entire thing here how is this engine canada closer to communism

00:43:12.340 the announcement of the 1.5 billion dollar rental protection fund which is designed to give

00:43:19.380 government agencies and government funded non-profit organizations the ability to purchase

00:43:25.280 private property so they can rent it back to the taxpayer. This is something we have

00:43:31.760 been harping about for the last three years. This clip is one minute, 12 seconds. Let's

00:43:37.420 see if we can make it all the way through.

00:43:39.420 People are being priced out of their communities and that's not okay. So we have to help nonprofits

00:43:46.040 and community partners acquire units and preserve rents at a stable level. That's why we're

00:43:51.800 We're here to announce the $1.5 billion Canada Rental Protection Fund.

00:44:00.800 Wait a minute, that's Wab Canoe in the background.

00:44:07.100 Was he in Winnipeg today and I didn't know, or is this from last week?

00:44:10.800 Anyway, let's carry on.

00:44:13.800 We will invest $1.5 billion in the new fund for rental protection, $1 billion in loans

00:44:23.040 and $470 million in contributions.

00:44:27.120 Let's say that we have a building on sale.

00:44:31.960 These loans and these contributions will help a company, a non-for-profit organization,

00:44:37.620 to buy this building.

00:44:40.560 They will also be able to renovate and preserve these units and the prices.

00:44:46.200 The National Protection Fund will aim to mobilize investments and financing from the charitable sector,

00:44:53.600 private sector, and other orders of government in order to maximize the ability to acquire and protect affordable housing.

00:45:01.480 We've got to get rid of these public-private partnerships. They're killing us.

00:45:07.500 It's like a two-headed monster. It's not cool. 0.64

00:45:10.560 all right another trudeau clip here again one minute 21 seconds i was able to make it through

00:45:16.940 that one this one posted by rebel news trudeau claims polyevs conservatives have exactly zero

00:45:23.700 solutions to propose for the multiple crises facing canadians caused by justin trudeau

00:45:30.540 the pm adds that well americans elected trump because he's a populist that's what you were

00:45:36.680 justin you were a populist now you're not because you see when you're a populist you are popular

00:45:43.140 like use of this populist is nonsense that's what politics is it is a popularity contest

00:45:52.700 always has been always will be you hope that the person with the best policies is going to get

00:45:59.560 elected, but you, Justin Trudeau,

00:46:01.620 were elected on your name and your

00:46:03.600 hair. So don't

00:46:05.540 for one second sit back

00:46:07.600 and call anybody else a populist

00:46:09.520 when that's exactly what you were.

00:46:13.340 He sits here and he claims that Canadians

00:46:15.760 elected him to deliver.

00:46:18.360 And the budget

00:46:19.180 will balance itself.

00:46:21.620 Right now, Pierre Polyev

00:46:23.680 and the Conservatives have exactly

00:46:25.660 zero solutions

00:46:27.580 to propose for any of these challenges.

00:46:30.560 They are not putting forward an alternative.

00:46:33.020 They are recognizing and amplifying

00:46:35.340 the frustration and anger people are feeling.

00:46:37.880 But they are not providing solutions

00:46:40.640 in any way, shape or form

00:46:42.060 for climate change, for affordability.

00:46:43.880 He's right now blocking

00:46:45.580 the doubling of the rural top-up

00:46:47.960 that helps, I was going to say it's conservative,

00:46:50.780 but rural Canadians across the country

00:46:53.300 with a 20% increase,

00:46:57.160 a 20% top-up on the Canada carbon rebate.

00:47:01.540 What?

00:47:01.680 They're blocking it in the House.

00:47:02.600 What are you even talking about?

00:47:03.720 They're blocking money from going to people in rural communities

00:47:06.580 who often vote for them

00:47:07.900 because of their opposition to the carbon tax.

00:47:12.800 No, Justin, you see, you've got it wrong.

00:47:15.940 What they're doing is saying

00:47:18.420 that we won't take that money from people in the first place. 1.00

00:47:23.300 you see he's it's amazing how stupid that the liberals think we canadians are and that you're 0.98

00:47:30.520 getting a rebate first of all the definition of a rebate is a partial partial refund not a full 0.99

00:47:36.100 refund a partial refund so if you spend 680 dollars in carbon tax officially over the course

00:47:44.240 of a year and you get back 600 yay there's your rebate it's not a full refund it's a rebate

00:47:53.100 but the conservatives wouldn't take that money

00:47:56.820 at all in the first place

00:47:59.260 so you would have it all in your pocket

00:48:01.300 without having to worry about giving it to the government

00:48:05.860 only so they can give you part of it back

00:48:07.760 and yet he thinks 0.99

00:48:09.840 well, go tell Canadians that

00:48:13.720 Polyev is stealing money from them

00:48:15.700 wow

00:48:19.020 that's totally disrespectful

00:48:22.760 to every single canadian play politics yeah their opposition to a price on pollution that fights

00:48:29.260 climate change and puts more money in people's pockets so and of course they never explain

00:48:33.720 exactly how this climate tax this carbon tax is supposed to fight climate change because it's

00:48:39.540 never been proven that it does i'm gonna focus on delivering for people that's what i got elected

00:48:45.260 for that's what i the commitment i made and we took a very different choice in 2015 than the

00:48:51.140 united states did in responding to the challenges the middle class is facing they voted uh for uh

00:48:56.720 a populist in donald trump uh but canadians voted for someone who's going to roll up their sleeves

00:49:02.360 and deliver no no no no they voted for you based upon your hair and your name and your sunny ways

00:49:13.680 and apparently your openness you're going to be the most open government in the history of canada

00:49:21.020 You're not. You're the worst. You are the worst, single worst prime minister in the history of this country, bar none. 0.95

00:49:35.140 This is Franco Terrazzano. He is the head of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. 0.53

00:49:41.580 Let's listen to what Franco has to say.

00:49:43.580 Trudeau is giving Quebec a special deal on the carbon tax.

00:49:47.100 kelle surprise so this is what's going on trudeau is making tax taxpayers in every other province

00:49:56.540 pay a higher tax than could be the numbers because here the queen tax federation had a bit of a

00:50:01.580 math mix with an arsenic so the carbon tax every other province is 80 dollars per ton in quebec

00:50:09.420 $57 per ton. $80 per ton for you. $57 per ton in Quebec. What does that mean at the pumps?

00:50:19.860 We got covered here. You pay $0.17 per liter of gasoline. In Quebec, it's $0.13 per liter of

00:50:31.120 gasoline. Well, what about if you're using diesel? We got you covered. You, outside of

00:50:37.300 Quebec are paying 21 cents per liter of diesel, and in Quebec, 17 cents per liter of diesel.

00:50:44.720 All right, all right. So why do you think that is? Why do you think that is? A poll came out

00:50:51.380 yesterday, a Nanos poll, and it showed the Conservatives were down five points, the Liberals

00:50:56.900 were up two points, the NDP was down two points, and the Bloc was up three points. The PPC was

00:51:03.380 around two points 2.5 1.5 whatever and the green party was actually down by two points

00:51:09.680 anyway i'm trying to break this down and i'm thinking to myself all right this has got to

00:51:15.700 be a quebec thing why the bloc is up the liberals are up the conservatives are down

00:51:22.200 the ndp is down but yet strong everywhere other than quebec bottom line is that quebec

00:51:32.880 does not really matter to polyev and the conservatives they can get 10 seats out of

00:51:39.280 quebec that's all they need but to the liberals that's everything if they lose their vote in

00:51:45.900 quebec they will be diminished to a rump party faster than you can say jean chretien jean chretien

00:51:54.440 rump party that means no official party standing in the house of commons and i believe

00:52:00.980 you have to have a dozen MPs to have official party status,

00:52:04.780 meaning funding, offices, office staff, all of that stuff.

00:52:08.620 If their support in Quebec caved, the Liberals, they're done for.

00:52:14.860 They might get 10, maybe 11, 12 seats in the rest of the country combined.

00:52:21.920 Seriously.

00:52:23.780 So they really need to shore up their support in Quebec.

00:52:26.960 and with this carbon tax, $80 per ton in every other province, $57 per ton in Quebec.

00:52:37.100 Playing favorites much?

00:52:39.640 So thank you for that.

00:52:41.220 We've got to get Franco Terrazzano on the show

00:52:43.280 because he seems like a very colorful character.

00:52:46.040 I think he's kind of like the Canadian Ben Shapiro.

00:52:50.000 Okay, I don't go to Snopes very often, you guys.

00:52:53.280 You know my opinion of the fact-checkers and especially Snopes.

00:52:56.160 I think Snopes is run by some dude and his ex-stripper girlfriend or wife now.

00:53:02.040 But occasionally, you see, a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and again.

00:53:06.680 So there was a story flying around in the United Kingdom

00:53:09.440 that an elderly couple there were being forced to sell their home

00:53:13.660 to accommodate asylum seekers,

00:53:16.240 using a law that they have on the books in the United Kingdom.

00:53:21.340 And Elon Musk even tweeted this. 0.98

00:53:22.960 In case you thought government trying to force home sales for asylum seekers was a myth, this is already happening in Britain. 0.91

00:53:29.500 So this is one of the first things that popped up.

00:53:32.540 Obviously, I was very, very, very suspicious of Snopes because it's Snopes.

00:53:41.160 So they say that this claim is false.

00:53:43.920 And then they go ahead and they list the context.

00:53:45.700 And so I read this. 1.00

00:53:46.460 The local council in the UK reportedly sent a letter to one elderly couple notifying them they would have to sell their home by means of a compulsory purchase order to house asylum seekers and refugees.

00:54:01.000 However, Snopes' review of that letter found no mention of the forced sale of the home contradicting multiple claims on social media.

00:54:08.960 And so you may have seen that post.

00:54:11.940 There it is right there.

00:54:13.140 the Saunders' both in their late 70s

00:54:17.240 did receive a letter concerning their property

00:54:19.240 from the Northamptonshire Council

00:54:21.640 it did not mention compulsory selling

00:54:23.780 it was basically

00:54:25.560 if you're not going to live in your house

00:54:27.580 then you're going to have to keep it

00:54:30.120 at least kept up

00:54:31.380 because it's bringing the neighborhood down

00:54:33.080 apparently there was a lot of junk

00:54:36.200 around the house

00:54:37.020 the lawn wasn't getting cut

00:54:38.460 you know how houses get

00:54:40.560 when somebody even goes on vacation for two weeks

00:54:42.680 unless you've hired somebody to take care of the place for you.

00:54:45.660 Unkept, right?

00:54:46.860 Well, that's what this house was.

00:54:48.600 And so that's what this letter from that city council was about.

00:54:53.020 Not about forcibly having to sell their home for asylum seekers.

00:54:59.120 What they did mention in the letter was,

00:55:00.880 in case you're considering selling your home,

00:55:05.320 then we would be interested in purchasing at a fair market price 0.95

00:55:08.400 so we can put displaced asylum seekers in it.

00:55:13.560 But there was never any mention of forcing them out.

00:55:18.700 And so I read this on Snopes,

00:55:21.080 just so you guys are absolutely aware,

00:55:23.240 and then I went looking deeper and deeper and deeper,

00:55:26.000 and that's exactly what I found.

00:55:28.700 So that post, because I saw this post today,

00:55:31.680 and I went, wow, that's exactly what we've been talking about.

00:55:35.000 They're forcing people out of homes,

00:55:36.640 They're forcing kids out of schools in the United States 1.00

00:55:39.100 to make room for these asylum seekers. 1.00

00:55:42.980 Now, why are they forcing kids out of schools? 1.00

00:55:44.960 Because that's where they're putting the asylum seekers, 1.00

00:55:47.020 in the school gyms, in the classrooms. 1.00

00:55:49.400 Putting them in sleeping bags and cots.

00:55:52.420 Where are these kids going to go to school? I don't know.

00:55:55.900 Do the taxpayers still get charged? Absolutely they do.

00:55:58.780 School taxes? You bet.

00:56:02.360 So that is going on.

00:56:03.820 In Canada, we haven't seen, at least not that I'm aware, we haven't seen anything like that happen yet, but Trudeau's doing it differently. They want to build these massive ghetto-style apartment buildings like they have in China, instead of single-family dwellings, which could be a thing of the past very, very soon.

00:56:28.220 They want to build these massive, huge apartment buildings. 0.90

00:56:31.600 I don't know, maybe 800, 900 square feet each.

00:56:34.680 And put us in there.

00:56:36.540 And then say, you know, we built housing.

00:56:40.700 And what does that look like all of a sudden?

00:56:45.400 Communist China, where you can easily be locked down. 0.90

00:56:49.760 That's what they did in China. 0.89

00:56:51.760 Remember those videos we were showing you?

00:56:53.580 all those people standing on their balconies wailing because they'd been locked in their

00:56:58.020 homes for two or three straight weeks and all it takes to lock down a building like that is make

00:57:05.320 sure that the front doors and the back doors and the main floor are closed and you've got a couple

00:57:10.520 of guards outside that's it there's nothing else that you can do as an apartment dweller to get

00:57:15.400 out of there unless you want to get shot that is and nobody wants to get shot

00:57:21.300 all right black locks reporter put up a freebie today very very happy about this 0.52

00:57:30.520 how the subsidies failed this is actually black locks reporter submission to a commission of the

00:57:38.280 government of canada the heritage committee and so i'm going to make this a little bit bigger so

00:57:43.600 we can all see including myself got to be able to see it to read it because this is very important

00:57:49.220 when the Heritage Committee met.

00:57:51.380 The Commons Heritage Committee met on February 13th.

00:57:54.220 They opened hearings on the following motion,

00:57:56.220 whereas news media are in crisis

00:57:58.520 due to the dominance of foreign digital companies.

00:58:00.680 Number two, hundreds of newsroom positions across Canada

00:58:03.800 have been cut since the beginning of the year,

00:58:05.380 and hundreds more are likely to be cut in the future.

00:58:08.600 And three, Canadian broadcasters, journalists, associations,

00:58:12.140 new unions, and many experts agree that urgent action

00:58:14.760 must be taken to ensure adequate, diversified coverage

00:58:17.900 in all regions, that the committee undertake a study to determine the appropriateness

00:58:22.320 of the government providing support of the national news sector, holding a national forum

00:58:26.880 on the media. Following is the Black Locks reporter, remember I have called them the best

00:58:32.480 media agency in the country, and I say that for a reason. Following is the Black Locks submission

00:58:37.940 to the committee. Number one, a national forum on media will never explain the points in this brief.

00:58:44.420 Number two, the motion implies a news crisis as universal foreigners are to blame 0.97

00:58:48.540 and federal intervention is effective and praiseworthy. 1.00

00:58:51.540 The motion echoes assertions of News Media Canada representing the largest,

00:58:55.520 most heavily subsidized, most unprofitable corporate newsrooms.

00:58:59.760 Number three, lobbyists assert losses are due not to mismanagement,

00:59:03.620 but cruel circumstance, big tech, and insufficient concrete steps

00:59:08.580 the government can take to address this.

00:59:10.880 This is self-serving.

00:59:11.920 Each publisher is free to choose their own business model.

00:59:15.260 We did.

00:59:16.520 Oh, and by the way, the CEO of Chorus Entertainment

00:59:20.040 was on his knees in front of the Senate six months ago

00:59:24.580 begging for more money.

00:59:29.760 And I say on his knees, not literally, figuratively, but still.

00:59:35.820 Why are media companies going to government for subsidies

00:59:40.220 when they know how it looks to us, the people they're supposed to be serving.

00:59:49.980 Number four, cabinet as late as 2017 opposed direct aid for failing newsrooms.

00:59:56.500 Our approach will not be to bail out industry models that are no longer viable,

01:00:01.400 said then Heritage Minister Melanie Jolie.

01:00:03.820 Rather, we will focus our efforts on supporting innovation.

01:00:06.860 Number five, Black Locks Reporter is a small independent publisher specializing in aggressive, high-volume, document-driven coverage of Parliament, access to information, public accounts, courts and tribunals.

01:00:19.100 Black Locks has subscribers nationwide.

01:00:22.040 Costs are recovered through subscriptions and licenses starting at $314 annually.

01:00:27.260 Our business model is 272 years old.

01:00:30.120 We thrive because social media platforms created a marketplace of 33 million Canadian internet users accessible at low cost.

01:00:40.160 We monetized this through storefront sales of subscriptions and licenses.

01:00:44.700 Big tech allowed us to build a national customer base so broad, no single licensee accounts for more than 1% of annual revenues.

01:00:53.400 Number seven, News Media Canada in 2019

01:00:56.260 sought direct subsidies on assertions that

01:00:58.540 A. No Canadian newsroom can thrive without subsidies,

01:01:01.980 that subsidies are B. Temporary, C. Fair, D. Effective,

01:01:05.640 and E. Subsidies do not corrupt news coverage,

01:01:08.660 and F. Readers will never notice.

01:01:13.260 Readers will never notice

01:01:15.020 that they, the media, are being subsidized

01:01:19.220 by the federal government?

01:01:20.360 Are you even kidding me right now?

01:01:22.440 This is why the trust in media has gone down and down and down and down and down

01:01:28.600 in Canada in the last five years, especially.

01:01:33.260 And I think it's, what, 40% now, even lower?

01:01:36.420 It's crazy how low it's got.

01:01:39.420 No Canadian newsroom thrives without subsidies.

01:01:42.340 Number eight, Black Locks is the only unsubsidized Canadian-owned news agency

01:01:47.500 accredited by the Parliamentary Press Gallery.

01:01:50.860 Unlike Rebel News, not credited, or True North, not credited.

01:01:55.260 Like publishers targeted in the 1981 Kent Commission,

01:01:58.320 we are alarmed by federal interference in newsrooms.

01:02:02.440 Number nine, BlackLocks is in its 12th year.

01:02:05.780 The company is profitable and debt-free.

01:02:07.920 We have never missed a shareholder's dividend.

01:02:10.380 We have no angel investors or big tech funding.

01:02:13.420 We have never paid for Google placements.

01:02:15.640 Our advertising is closed to all but long-time sponsors.

01:02:19.880 10. News Media Canada won $595 million in subsidies on a promise aid was temporary, expiring in 2024.

01:02:30.340 There does not need to be a deadline, testified Bob Cox, then chair of News Media Canada and publisher of the Winnipeg Free Press,

01:02:38.180 who spearheaded this whole thing in the first place. It's embarrassing.

01:02:41.240 11. Can you give us a sense of how long this transition will last, asked Liberal MP Rachel Bendeian from Outremont, Quebec.

01:02:50.500 The program itself is envisioned to be for five years, replied Chair Cox.

01:02:54.480 I felt that was an appropriate period of time for the transition because, of course, there will be news outlets, newspapers that fail the transition and you can't give them forever.

01:03:03.800 There does need to be a deadline. Deadlines can focus you and get you moving to where you aren't moving now.

01:03:08.640 I think it's important. I see this as a transitional program and temporary help.

01:03:13.780 I don't like the idea of a long-term subsidy for newspapers that become permanent.

01:03:18.360 They're supposed to be over this year.

01:03:21.500 Number 12. The Canada Revenue Agency rewards qualified newsrooms with a 15% digital subscription

01:03:28.300 tax credit. Only newsrooms that apply for subsidies qualify. Blacklock's readers are

01:03:33.640 disqualified since we neither solicit nor accept subsidies. This unfairly penalizes our readers.

01:03:40.520 Number 13. Heritage Canada in 2023 acknowledged federal intervention was futile and cannot

01:03:45.900 redress the structural decline of failing newsrooms. The department confirmed no net

01:03:51.620 job creation resulted from subsidies. This was predictable. Number 14. Government is saying you

01:03:57.680 need to give me money forever because nobody is buying my buggy whips, testified Sue Gardner,

01:04:02.780 former CBC executive. The state of subsidized journalism was appalling, said Gardner. It's

01:04:07.940 terrible. I don't think anybody is arguing differently. 15. Newsroom subsidies were used

01:04:14.020 to pay debts, dividends, and executive salaries. In one case documented in court filing, Saltwire

01:04:19.520 Network incorporated pocketed subsidies while laying off 237 employees, including long-time

01:04:26.920 staff with up to 33 years' service. The Winnipeg Free Press received $822,000 in annual payroll

01:04:36.060 rebates. In 2023, it closed its Parliament Hill Bureau. After 128 years, there was no announcement.

01:04:45.240 The Toronto Star qualified for $6 million in annual rebates. In 2023, it cut 600 Metroland

01:04:52.280 media group jobs and permanently closed its Vancouver Bureau. Black Press Group Limited

01:04:59.040 received $985,000 in annual periodical fund subsidies. In a 2024 bankruptcy court filing,

01:05:06.840 it detailed a years-long campaign of job cuts and a failed bid to recoup. $149 million U.S. lost in

01:05:14.040 a venture in Akron, Ohio. Subsidies did not create jobs or improve journalism. Now, this is the best

01:05:20.340 part of this whole thing right here. Subsidies do not corrupt news coverage.

01:05:33.900 By the way, after this, you guys will be skipping to the extension on shadowdavis.com. If you're not

01:05:38.960 an all-access member, I suggest go ahead and become one now. Now, go ahead and join the website,

01:05:45.040 and we'll see you over there shortly.

01:05:47.120 Number 19, News Media Canada at 2019

01:05:49.660 acknowledged the predicament dismissively.

01:05:51.700 I've not noticed this, testified Chair Cox.

01:05:55.300 Even I cannot get journalists to write what I want

01:05:57.860 and I sign their paychecks.

01:05:59.000 This is again talking about how these subsidies

01:06:01.460 don't corrupt the coverage in newsrooms.

01:06:05.300 Number 20, corrupted coverage is evident

01:06:07.600 in what the press does not write.

01:06:10.600 Honest reporting is complete,

01:06:12.780 a former Ottawa Citizen publisher wrote

01:06:14.820 in a 2003 Canadian Parliamentary review,

01:06:17.880 news must not be withheld in pursuit of rewards

01:06:20.860 or because of fear of consequences.

01:06:24.000 Number 21, when News Media Canada

01:06:26.920 petitioned MPs August 2, 2023

01:06:29.540 to make temporary payroll rebates permanent

01:06:32.060 at double the rate to $29,750 per newsroom employee,

01:06:38.420 no News Media member reported that fact.

01:06:41.320 We did, at Black Locks.

01:06:43.080 When cabinet doubled rebates in its November 21st, 2023 fall economic statement at $129 million cost,

01:06:51.820 no member reported that fact at all.

01:06:54.440 No member of the national news media. 1.00

01:06:58.120 Blacklocks did. 1.00

01:07:00.680 Canada is facing not one news crisis, but two, testified Jeanette Ageason, publisher of the TIEE. 0.98

01:07:07.320 That's the far left news rag.

01:07:10.720 One is financial, the other is the crisis of distrust.

01:07:14.880 Canadians are expressing unprecedented distrust towards the news

01:07:18.420 and the reporters who deliver it.

01:07:20.680 Canadians need to know who's funding the news they received

01:07:23.460 and on what terms.

01:07:25.020 We need to rebuild trust in news, not damage it further.

01:07:30.420 Don't you think so?

01:07:32.860 And readers will never notice.

01:07:36.380 Number 23.

01:07:38.020 Direct aid to the people who will report the news.

01:07:40.700 That's dangerous, testified John Miller,

01:07:42.720 former Toronto Star Foreign Editor and Professor Emeritus

01:07:45.720 at Toronto Metropolitan University.

01:07:48.360 For instance, say I'm a reporter on a story about some scandal in government

01:07:51.560 and for various reasons it's not there, and I back off.
