The Western Standard's mission is to be the independent voice of the new west. This is why we refuse to accept a penny of the big media bailout that has corrupted Canada's once free press. Without people like you supporting independent media, all that will be left is the corrupt, government-owned, and government funded press.
00:13:29.600There are a few great journalists in the non-government-owned media.
00:13:36.080But they mostly work for large corporate interests owned and operated out of Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and New York.
00:13:42.560Western voices, voices that speak for the West without fear of what their bosses in Toronto will say are far and few between.
00:13:53.040The West needs a strong and independent voice that is willing to take on the issues facing our people.
00:14:09.520This is why we re-founded the Western Standard in 2019.
00:14:14.000Since then, the Western Standard has burst onto the scene and shaken up Western Canada's media landscape.
00:14:20.000With a growing and dedicated team of reporters and opinion columnists, we have quickly become the third most read online news platform in Western Canada with an average of 3 million readers per month and hundreds of thousands of people watching our videos and listening to our podcasts.
00:14:36.480Our news team is made up of credible reporters, largely recruited from the mainstream media, but who focus on issues that are all too often ignored by the old players.
00:14:46.500Our opinion columnists fearlessly take on controversial issues that most of the old players are too afraid to touch directly.
00:14:54.420The Western Standard's mission is to be the independent voice of the new West.
00:14:58.040This is why we need to receive the receipts. What did you actually spend the money on?
00:15:02.620We got some major news breaking at the moment for you.
00:15:05.700We're making a big difference and giving Westerners a homegrown alternative to the big, government-owned and government-funded mainstream media.
00:15:16.120Now, obviously, I condemn those symbols. I think those are...
00:15:19.200For sure, we all do at the Western Standard.
00:15:20.760What are your thoughts on that debate?
00:15:22.900I think that Tom Clark, the moderator, certainly lost.
00:15:26.080There's issues with the current avalanche system run by the province.
00:15:29.740We refuse to accept a penny of the big media bailout that has corrupted Canada's once-free breasts.
00:15:35.700Because we are one of the only genuinely independent media in Canada, we are able to speak freely and cannot be cancelled by Ottawa.
00:15:43.700We have a large and growing team of journalists with bureaus in Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Regina, and on Parliament Hill.
00:15:52.180Our reporters and columnists are fearless and work tirelessly to give you straight news and cut through the spin.
00:15:59.020That is why we need you, the reader, to step up and become a member of the Western Standard.
00:16:04.980You can become a Western Standard member for just $10 a month or $99 a year for unlimited access, much cheaper than a subscription to one of the big, government-funded newspapers.
00:16:15.980We are reinvesting every penny of that back into improving our ability to provide you with real, independent, and original Western news and opinion coverage.
00:16:26.980Supporting independent media with your membership is the price of having any media left in this country that isn't on the government take.
00:16:33.980If you want there to be any independent Western media left, then we need you to step up and support it.
00:16:40.980Without people like you supporting independent media, all that will be left is the corrupt, government-owned, and government-funded press.
00:16:47.980We've built something great that is challenging the old media, and we're making a big difference.
00:16:54.980Together, we can make sure that we have a voice that speaks for a West that is strong and free.
00:17:17.980Our media landscape is dominated by a few big players, almost all of which are owned by big Eastern and foreign corporate interests or by the government itself.
00:17:38.980As taxpayers, we're forced to pay billions of dollars every year to support the liberal CBC.
00:17:43.980But now even the non-government-owned mainstream media are on the take, receiving hundreds of millions of dollars a year in a massive taxpayer bailout from the federal government.
00:17:53.980This means that even those few bright spots of independence and free thinking in the mainstream media are now on the government dole,
00:18:00.980and cannot speak without fear that the government could pull their funding at any time.
