Mainstream media in Canada is a disgrace. They are part of the ruling class and do the bidding of the government. They do not question the government and are not a free society's media. That is what we need to change.

00:00:39.960 I will give you a couple of examples.
00:00:42.680 But...
00:00:43.080 Ladies and gentlemen, I could go on for hours with examples of this.

00:00:53.720 You had a Toronto Star columnist saying, quote, sorry for the language,
00:00:57.980 it's a homegrown hate farm that was then jet-fuelled by an American right-funded rat-fucking operation.

00:01:30.900 without mentioning that one of the leaders of the convoy was himself Jewish.
00:01:34.200 Now, why is this so rancid?
00:01:36.460 Utterly, utterly rancid and corrupt.
00:01:38.540 Because in this country, your media, your mainstream media, is funded by the government.

00:02:20.780 But in Canada, they can also tell the media what to do.
00:02:24.060 And the media does the bidding of the Canadian government.

00:02:31.360 I've seen unfree countries all my life.
