00:00:00.000 Hello, I'm Melanie Rizdin with the Western Standard with an update on our stories for
00:00:05.540 Monday, August 29th. Right now we've got a story up about an alleged exorcism that took place at
00:00:12.160 a Saskatchewan Bible camp involving a teen camper. United Nations nuclear watchdog will be heading
00:00:19.500 to Ukraine's nuclear plant this week to assess the damages that have been caused by ongoing
00:00:25.000 shelling at or near the facility. We've got another story up. It's been revealed Crown Indigenous
00:00:31.720 Relations Minister Mark Miller approved a Canada Summer Student Grant application for a Montreal
00:00:38.360 group linked to anti-Semitic slurs. That according to Blacklock's reporter. And many of our stories

00:00:53.240 comments from PPC leader Maxime Bernier and his take on the verbal attack. He says the Liberals are
00:00:59.840 using this incident to play victim, to divert attention away from their various crimes and
00:01:05.900 scandals. We've got another story up about a retired Memorial University political scientist professor
00:01:12.440 who says the Liberal government is now choosing which words are acceptable to use for Canadians
00:01:19.020 following that verbal attack on Freeland. Another story with Conservative Party of Canada leadership
00:01:25.620 candidate Pierre Polyev discussing the heckling of Freeland saying it is unacceptable for Canadians to be
