00:00:00.040 Our media landscape is dominated by a few big players, almost all of which are owned by big
00:00:05.400 eastern and foreign corporate interests, or by the government itself. As taxpayers, we're forced
00:00:10.980 to pay billions of dollars every year to support the liberal CBC. But now even the non-government
00:00:16.560 owned mainstream media are on the take, receiving hundreds of millions of dollars a year in a
00:00:21.780 massive taxpayer bailout from the federal government. This means that even those few
00:00:26.520 bright spots of independence and free thinking in the mainstream media are now
00:00:30.660 on the government dole and cannot speak without fear that the government could
00:00:34.340 pull their funding at any time. There are a few great journalists in the
00:00:39.180 non-government owned media, but they mostly work for large corporate interests
00:00:43.380 owned and operated out of Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and New York. Western voices,
00:00:50.100 voices that speak for the West without fear of what their bosses in Toronto will
00:00:54.600 say are far and few between. The West needs a strong and independent voice that is
00:01:00.840 willing to take on the issues facing our people. This is why we refounded the
00:01:05.160 Western Standard in 2019. Since then, the Western Standard has burst onto the scene
00:01:09.780 and shaken up Western Canada's media landscape. With a growing and dedicated
00:01:15.480 team of reporters and opinion columnists, we have quickly become the third most read
00:01:20.160 online news platform in Western Canada, with an average of three million readers
00:01:24.600 per month and hundreds of thousands of people watching our videos and listening
00:01:28.800 to our podcasts. Our news team is made up of credible reporters, largely recruited
00:01:33.880 from the mainstream media, but who focus on issues that are all too often ignored by
00:01:38.760 the old players. Our opinion columnists fearlessly take on controversial issues that
00:01:43.360 most of the old players are too afraid to touch directly. The Western Standard's mission is to be the
00:01:49.040 independent voice of the new West. This is why we need to receive the receipts. What did you
00:01:53.920 actually spend the money on? We got some major news breaking at the moment for you. We're making a big
00:01:59.840 difference and giving Westerners a homegrown alternative to the big government owned and
00:02:04.960 government funded mainstream media. We're changing the conversation. Now, obviously, I condemn those
00:02:10.880 symbols. I think those are for sure we all do at the Western Standard's. What are your thoughts on that debate?
00:02:15.360 I think that Tom Clark, the moderator, certainly lost. There's issues with the current avalanche system
00:02:21.840 run by the province. We refuse to accept a penny of the big media bailout that has corrupted Canada's
00:02:27.440 once free press. Because we are one of the only genuinely independent media in Canada, we are able to
00:02:33.840 speak freely and cannot be cancelled by Ottawa. We have a large and growing team of journalists with
00:02:40.080 bureaus in Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Regina, and on Parliament Hill. Our reporters and columnists are
00:02:47.520 fearless and work tirelessly to give you straight news and cut through the spin. That is why we need
00:02:54.000 you, the reader, to step up and become a member of the Western Standard. You can become a Western
00:03:00.880 Standard member for just $10 a month or $99 a year for unlimited access, much cheaper than a subscription
00:03:07.040 to one of the big government funded newspapers. We are reinvesting every penny of that back into
00:03:13.280 improving our ability to provide you with real, independent, and original Western news and opinion
00:03:19.680 coverage. Supporting independent media with your membership is the price of having any media left
00:03:25.280 in this country that isn't on the government take. If you want there to be any independent Western
00:03:30.640 media left, then we need you to step up and support it. Without people like you supporting independent
00:03:36.480 media, all that will be left is the corrupt, government-owned, and government-funded press.
00:03:43.040 We've built something great that is challenging the old media, and we're making a big difference.
00:03:48.080 Together, we can make sure that we have a voice that speaks for a West that is strong and free.
00:04:18.080 Our media landscape is dominated by a few big players, almost all of which are owned by big

00:06:13.360 This is why we need to receive the receipts. What did you actually spend the money on? We got some

00:06:24.560 alternative to the big government-owned and government-funded mainstream media. We're changing
00:06:30.320 the conversation. Obviously, I condemn those symbols. I think those are- For sure, we all do at the

00:24:13.980 We refuse to accept a penny of the big media bailout that has corrupted Canada's once-free breasts.
00:24:19.980 Because we are one of the only genuinely independent media in Canada, we are able to speak freely and cannot be cancelled by Ottawa.
00:24:27.980 We have a large and growing team of journalists with bureaus in Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Regina and on Parliament Hill.
00:24:37.980 Our reporters and columnists are fearless and work tirelessly to give you straight news and cut through the spin.
00:24:43.980 That is why we need you, the reader, to step up and become a member of the Western Standard.
00:24:49.980 You can become a Western Standard member for just $10 a month or $99 a year for unlimited access.
00:24:56.980 Much cheaper than a subscription to one of the big government-funded newspapers.
00:25:00.980 We are reinvesting every penny of that back into improving our ability to provide you with real, independent and original Western news and opinion coverage.
00:25:11.980 Supporting independent media with your membership is the price of having any media left in this country that isn't on the government take.
00:25:19.980 If you want there to be any independent Western media left, then we need you to step up and support it.
00:25:25.980 Without people like you supporting independent media, all that will be left is the corrupt, government-owned and government-funded press.
00:25:33.980 We've built something great that is challenging the old media, and we're making a big difference.
00:25:39.980 Together, we can make sure that we have a voice that speaks for a West that is strong and free.
00:26:03.980 Our 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.
00:26:22.980 As taxpayers, we're forced to pay billions of dollars every year to support the liberal CBC.
00:26:27.980 But 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.
00:26:37.980 This means that even those few bright spots of independence and free thinking in the mainstream media are now on the government dole,
00:26:44.980 and cannot speak without fear that the government could pull their funding at any time.
00:26:50.980 There are a few great journalists in the non-government-owned media, but they mostly work for large corporate interests,
00:26:56.980 owned and operated out of Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and New York.
00:27:01.980 Western voices, voices that speak for the West without fear of what their bosses in Toronto will say are far and few between.
00:27:09.980 The West needs a strong and independent voice that is willing to take on the issues facing our people.
00:27:16.980 This is why we refounded the Western Standard in 2019.
00:27:19.980 Since then, the Western Standard has burst onto the scene and shaken up Western Canada's media landscape.
00:27:25.980 With a growing and dedicated team of reporters and opinion columnists, we have quickly become the third most read online news platform in Western Canada,
00:27:35.980 with an average of 3 million readers per month and hundreds of thousands of people watching our videos and listening to our podcasts.
00:27:42.980 Our 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.
00:27:52.980 Our opinion columnists fearlessly take on controversial issues that most of the old players are too afraid to touch directly.
00:27:59.980 The Western Standard's mission is to be the independent voice of the new West.
00:28:03.980 This is why we need to receive the receipts. What did you actually spend the money on?
00:28:08.980 We got some major news breaking at the moment for you.
00:28:11.980 We're making a big difference and giving Westerners a homegrown alternative to the big government owned and government funded mainstream media.
00:28:19.980 We're changing the conversation.
00:28:21.980 Obviously, I condemn those symbols. I think those are for sure we all do at the Western Standard.
00:28:26.980 What are your thoughts on that debate?
00:28:28.980 I think that Tom Clark, the moderator, certainly lost.

00:30:17.980 Like this, as it should be on deswegen with another level that infinitesize people to reverse people's response because of the difference that they know in China andPA,

00:30:34.980 So, it sometimes begins first after the deal of listening and then there's time-rejective,
00:30:36.980 what they should live forever in terms of being honest-re tallest and having no sentimentomic happening in those terms.
00:30:38.980 Because of this, these claims, there will be no more information about having to restoring them.
