00:00:00.000 What's your response to Meta's decision to officially remove news from its platform as of today?
00:00:06.140 I think it's like 1984.
00:00:10.540 You have a prime minister passing a law to make news articles disappear from the internet.
00:00:18.380 Who would ever have imagined that in Canada, the federal government would pass laws
00:00:24.400 banning people from effectively seeing the news?
00:00:27.900 Who would have thought that we'd have a government that would pass a law to manipulate the algorithms
00:00:33.860 of the internet so that Canadians only see what the prime minister wants them to see?
00:00:39.760 But that's where we are.
00:00:41.780 I know that Justin Trudeau doesn't want Canadians to see the facts of life because after eight

00:00:52.460 But here's my response.
00:00:54.320 Whether it's big tech or Trudeau's big government, censorship is always and everywhere wrong.

00:01:08.140 in this country.
00:01:09.040 Because I believe that I can win an open debate in this country.
00:01:13.400 And so unlike Trudeau, I will not need to censor.
