In the wake of the Emergencies Act inquiry into why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the act on February 14th, 2022, a group of Freedom Convoy protesters gathered outside the Library and Archives of Canada to protest the government. They were the cleanest bunch of protesters I ve ever seen. They cleaned up after themselves. They took their signs home. They didn t leave them everywhere like left-wing protesters do. And they certainly didn t deserve to be smeared by Justin Trudeau as white supremacists.

00:00:00.000 you also asked him uh and you repeated that the tweet the other day when did you start to become
00:00:15.960 afraid of Canadians do you really think do you think Justin Trudeau is afraid of Canadians
00:00:19.920 and all I thought the whole time was what what were you afraid of you know we're sitting here
00:00:27.100 the same room we're all canadians we're all adults i think and all you had to do was talk to us talk
00:00:35.260 to the protesters they came to your doorstep what on earth are you so afraid of like i i do think so
00:00:41.900 because there was absolutely no reason uh for there not to be any dialogue well that was abba
00:00:50.700 Chipiuk, Chief Counsel for the Freedom Convoy during the Emergencies Act Inquiry.
00:00:58.460 And I'm David Creighton. I'm the host of Ottawa Exposed and I'm the Senior Parliamentary Columnist
00:01:04.700 for the Western Standard. Proudly so. And here on this show we expose the dark corridors of Ottawa,
00:01:12.780 the city of federal power in this country. Now Eva corrected me on two things when I interviewed her
00:01:19.100 this week. The first was her name is Eva Nadeva. And the second was she's not really the chief
00:01:26.000 counsel because she says she's part of a legal team. And that legal team was with the Freedom
00:01:32.440 Convoy protesters for six weeks as we all sat in the Library and Archives Canada and listened to
00:01:41.620 testimony about why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act on February 14th,
00:01:51.600 2022. Now, I think Eva's best remembered, and why I called her the Chief Legal Counsel,
00:01:59.320 is because she did a knockout performance on November 25th, the last day of the testimony
00:02:06.080 from the politicians didn't actually end there we'll get into that later the test the testimony
00:02:12.640 continued from so-called experts the following week but the last day of the testimony from
00:02:19.280 politicians eva chipia cross-examined prime minister justin trudeau after he had been there
00:02:25.680 for hours being lobbed softball questions by government lawyers and he smiled he smirked
00:02:34.400 he tried to put the best face on invoking the emergencies act and personally i don't think he
00:02:40.900 did a very good job of it but when he faced eva chipiuk he really he did a very bad job of it
00:02:47.440 because he misrepresented the facts let's say he lied because she asked him point blank why did
00:02:54.720 you call those who disagreed with you the unvaccinated and those who oppose vaccine
00:03:00.900 mandates why'd you call them names and trudeau flatly denied that he called him names and of
00:03:06.400 course i was there watching and listening and i wrote a column that day and i found the citations
00:03:13.540 and the references were justin trudeau does in fact say on two occasions once in english once
00:03:19.200 in french that those who oppose him on vaccine mandates and the unvaccinated are racist and
00:03:27.120 misogynist. She also asked Prime Minister Trudeau, why is he afraid of Canadians? And of course,
00:03:36.240 that's the question Ms. Chipiuk just answered in that clip that you saw at the beginning of this
00:03:44.880 broadcast. And he does seem to be afraid of Canadians, doesn't he? And it's not, he had
00:03:51.980 nothing to worry about the Freedom Convoy because they weren't threatening him. They weren't
00:03:56.800 threatening the government. They weren't over trying to overthrow the government. This wasn't
00:04:00.140 some kind of insurrection. They had no intention of even entering a federal building, and they did
00:04:07.680 not. In fact, they were the cleanest bunch of protesters I ever saw, and I was there every day
00:04:14.360 during the Freedom Convoy protests of February 2022. They cleaned up after themselves. They
00:04:22.860 didn't leave garbage on the road or on the sidewalks. They took their signs home, did not
00:04:28.400 leave them everywhere like left-wing protests I've seen where they just leave all kinds of crap
00:04:33.520 after they leave. These were clean protesters. And they certainly didn't deserve to be smeared
00:04:39.880 by Justin Trudeau, the mayor of Ottawa, and others who dismissed them as some kind of white supremacist
00:04:48.360 goop crazy people and who who were who were racist and misogynist and homophobic and transphobic and 0.58
00:04:59.240 on and on and on this is all nonsense these were truckers these were blue collar workers 0.97
00:05:03.800 these were people of all colors i saw sikhs and hindus i saw black people indigenous people
00:05:10.120 they were all there and this is something ever emphasized but western standard we had a real
00:05:18.360 we had our hands on a story last week that was incredibly fantastic and eva gave the story to us
00:05:26.280 she told us that the prime minister is is getting an early secret copy of the emergencies act
00:05:33.560 inquiry report principally authored by justice paul rulo now this is slated to come out on january
00:05:43.800 and i'll tell you what happened in a few minutes as a result i think of eva's social media work 0.94
00:05:52.840 and my reporting on the western standard but he was supposed to get a copy of this report
00:05:58.400 two weeks in advance of everybody else very unusual because any sort of inquiry report
00:06:04.760 usually isn't subject to an order in council that means the government sees it early two weeks
00:06:11.140 earlier than anybody else in the media and the official opposition the general public
00:06:17.060 but because they invoked an order in council over this inquiry report trudeau is going to
00:06:23.700 get a copy two weeks early now that strikes me as very suspicious and it struck ever as
00:06:29.860 very suspicious because some things can happen during those two weeks what if the cabinet decides
00:06:38.420 to alter the document and not tell anybody at the very least as avachipia pointed out
00:06:49.140 in my interview she can in fact they can in fact get ready get their talking points ready
00:07:00.740 and prepare everything for the public relations battle that's the very least they can do
00:07:07.220 but there's always the potential for misuse here now while i was talking to evie chipia
00:07:13.700 and while we released the interview as a broadcast for the western standard interestingly enough
00:07:22.180 justice ruleau came out and said the copy's not going to be ready for january 6 you're going to
00:07:27.540 have to wait a little bit so trudeau will probably get it early because ruleau says
00:07:33.300 the document will be finalized by february 20th it has to be it has to be as part of the
00:07:40.660 the jurist part of the parameters of the inquiry but trudem won't get it two weeks early but he's
00:07:48.020 still obviously going to get it earlier than everybody else but it's interesting how rulo
00:07:53.140 in the com in the commission the public order emergencies commission reacted obviously to these
00:08:00.660 stories they wanted to give the story uh some pushback and to maintain that everything was
00:08:08.660 above board with this report now at the same time we were talking about this there was an incredibly
00:08:16.660 stupid report coming out of ottawa that made in a number of it's called the people's commission
00:08:24.660 and it alleged that as a result of the freedom convoy protesters in ottawa people who live and
00:08:32.660 work in downtown ottawa endured several weeks of widespread human rights abuse amidst the climate
00:08:38.260 of threats fear sexual harassment and intimidation marked by racism misogyny anti-semitism islamophobia
00:08:44.660 homophobia transphobia and other expressions of hate and intolerance now this sounds like a textbook
00:08:51.220 response from people who hated the freedom convoy i'm not sure the pmo didn't didn't write this for
00:08:58.740 them but at the very least it sounds like some sort of bolshevik tract and they actually allege
00:09:07.380 that truck drivers drove into ottawa residents and beat them up how ridiculous is that how
00:09:14.740 ridiculous is that and eva chippy said to me i do believe our prime minister from the tops
00:09:22.980 starting this rhetoric of hate and division and who's the one that has to deal with it on the
00:09:28.180 ground it's the police because of the hate divisive rhetoric that came from our prime minister
00:09:33.540 she told me that's what created the chaos and fear in ottawa not the freedom
00:09:38.900 convoy not the protesters not the truck driver it was prime minister trudeau talking
00:09:44.740 About these people as if they were just scum of the earth.
00:09:49.260 This guy who's supposed to support blue-collar workers.
00:09:52.040 Well, ho, ho, ho.
00:09:53.260 He had no time for real people.
00:09:55.620 Real people who were suffering pain.
00:09:58.480 Loss of livelihood.
00:10:01.580 Loss of, in many cases, families.
00:10:05.300 Because of the pandemic and because they did not want to take the vaccine.
00:10:09.460 So, Eva will be back with me in an exclusive interview, perhaps next week, but certainly on February 20th, when this document is delivered.
00:10:22.860 Because we want to know what's in it.
00:10:25.200 We want to know what this document says and whether Trudeau was justified invoking the Emergencies Act by using this kind of authoritarian measure against a peaceful protest.
00:10:37.020 We say no.
00:10:39.460 We say he was not justified in doing this, and I know a lot of our viewers and readership at the Western Standard are saying the same thing.
00:10:46.720 This was not justified, and I want to thank again Eva Chepiuk for the interview and for alerting us to what's going on.
00:10:56.980 There should not be a secret report coming out, and you know what she also told me?
00:11:01.220 in the subsequent hearings from so-called experts
00:11:06.860 after the politicians had all gone back.
00:11:09.620 And by the way, the media was not at these secondary hearings
00:11:14.980 that followed the last day of testimony from Prime Minister Trudeau.
00:11:19.440 The public was not there.
00:11:20.840 The media was not there.
00:11:21.680 I was alerted to it by some of the organizers of the inquiry
00:11:26.340 who happened to mention, oh, by the way, next week,
00:11:29.260 we're going to be hearing from some experts.
00:11:31.900 Guess what?
00:11:33.200 These experts were all supporting Trudeau's decision to invoke the Emergencies Act.
00:11:39.600 How do I know that?
00:11:40.600 Because Eva told me they weren't invited.
00:11:45.060 They were not invited to attend these so-called.
00:11:48.480 She says that neither her nor her legal team were invited to attend the public order emergency commission sessions that occurred after Trudeau's testimony on November 25th.
00:11:58.480 fifth we didn't really know about the process we thought we would be part of the panel discussion
00:12:05.280 after six weeks but she says after those six weeks of so much evidence we weren't invited
00:12:11.680 to be part of the panel i wonder why that is i wonder why that is
00:12:18.960 so we're going to go now because my time is limited we're going to be talking about this
00:12:23.520 again believe me but i want to talk quickly about two other matters that came up in my columns this
00:12:28.960 week my wednesday column was about the war in ukraine and why i think it's time for the trudeau
00:12:37.760 government to stop financing it and why i think we need peace in ukraine and not a war that goes on
00:12:45.040 and on and on endlessly have you heard of the doomsday clock we used to hear about it all the
00:12:51.360 time during the height of the cold war and certainly during the years of president ronald
00:12:57.840 reagan a hero of mine who actually ended the cold war through military strength but the doomsday
00:13:05.920 clock was always being mentioned because they thought liberals progressives thought reagan was
00:13:11.280 going to bomb moscow or a start a war with the soviet union of course that never happened it was
00:13:17.440 actually ronald reagan that initiated serious talks with mikhail gorbachev to end the cold war
00:13:24.800 because he knew the united states had an upper hand economically and militarily and the soviet
00:13:29.440 union could not keep up it was on the verge of implosion exactly what happened so why are we
00:13:36.720 fighting a proxy war against russia and ukraine now i spent years as a public affairs officer in
00:13:43.760 the military peddling the nato talking points about how nato is an organization of collective
00:13:50.400 security that is containing communism in the soviet bloc and nato wasn't a very was a very
00:14:01.040 effective organization during the cold war it did contain communism and in the years following the
00:14:06.880 collapse of the soviet union the end of the cold war nato was quite effective in peacemaking
00:14:12.080 operations and europe and i was part of one of these operations in bosnia 1996
00:14:19.440 where we ended a civil war in the former yugoslavia
00:14:23.840 nato was very good at that nato was not very good at span expanding endlessly and so every nation in
00:14:30.240 europe is a member of nato except russia that looks like a situation that could
00:14:38.640 absolutely be catastrophic do you want to go to war for albania for estonia for latvia for
00:14:48.800 lithuania because these are all members of nato now and because of nato the nato rule that he that
00:14:55.040 an attack on one member nation is attack is an attack on all that means canada as a member of
00:15:01.120 nato will have to go defend lithuania if it's attacked by any other nation including russia
00:15:06.480 this is getting insane everybody can't be a member of nato because the organization ceases to have
00:15:13.760 a valid legitimate objective or function it suddenly becomes an organization that will fight
00:15:19.920 a war just about everywhere and anywhere and this is not working out well with russia right now we
00:15:26.960 are on the verge of a nuclear cataclysm we are marching towards armageddon because we have got
00:15:34.240 too many idiots in the media proclaiming that this is a war of freedom that this is another war to
00:15:41.280 make the world safe for democracy that's what we said about the first world war and look at a joke
00:15:46.320 that turned out to be all it did was sow the seeds of the second world war and enable nazism and 0.96
00:15:54.320 adolf hitler but ukraine is not a model democratic state it is a corrupt state ruled by oligarchs 0.77
00:16:04.240 in the same manner that russia is they are taking the aid money in many cases and squandering it
00:16:12.240 on personal projects so the aid money is not even going to the military objectives that we're
00:16:20.600 sending it to and this is the problem there and there's no accountability for where this money is
00:16:27.160 going and canada is sent has sent a billion dollars in direct aid it just sent two leopard
00:16:32.600 tanks to ukraine and by the way don't expect to get them back because once you send tanks to a
00:16:40.520 nation at war they usually get ground up in the process so don't expect them back we've sent 1.00
00:16:46.280 howitzers we've we've sent a missile guide a guided missile system that we don't even have ourselves
00:16:54.280 460 million dollars we purchase we're purchasing it from the united states to send to ukraine and
00:17:00.120 our own Canadian military doesn't have it so what is going on here it's clearly there was a violation
00:17:09.560 of an agreement in 1990 by President George H.W. Bush the first Bush as the Soviet Union was
00:17:17.400 collapsing his Secretary of State James Baker promised the Soviet Union that NATO would not
00:17:23.560 expand. Now a year later when the Soviet Union did collapse and the Russian Federation emerged
00:17:31.760 they dissolved the Warsaw Pact which was a competing military alliance to NATO. They
00:17:38.860 dissolved it thinking that NATO was going to stop expanding and probably eventually be dissolved
00:17:46.240 itself as russia became part of the european continent and part of a democratic family of
00:17:56.560 nations that didn't work out very well did it but it could have if we have i've tried to keep russia
00:18:06.000 democratic and stop trying to wage a proxy war against it and by encircling it with every other
00:18:14.320 nation in europe belonging to nato and and this is a real problem we need to stop the war in ukraine
00:18:19.520 it was a horrible violation of international law by russia but it's not worth a nuclear war
00:18:25.360 i want to make that point very clear today now i want to finish on one of my favorite notes
00:18:32.160 and this is the second column i wrote on this it's out today it's thursday's column
00:18:37.120 it's about the new islamophobia czar
00:18:39.520 amyra el guai abi now i'm sure she's a very nice woman and she worked as a columnist for the
00:18:49.700 toronto star and that really shows believe me in the kind of writing she does but she's she
00:18:55.560 recently had to apologize already because she called all quebecers islamophobists and said
00:19:00.820 they were intolerant about muslim what a stupid statement to make how does she know that does she
00:19:07.000 every quebecer no obviously not but she's also made some other incredibly stupid statements 1.00
00:19:12.040 she actually trivialized the 9 11 terrorist attack against the twin towers in new york city by saying
00:19:20.360 that the nine years of stephen harper's government were worse for muslims than that terrorist attack
00:19:26.680 what a what a ridiculous statement to make what what a smear on stephen prime minister stephen
00:19:32.360 harper and the people who worked for it and you know why she says that because there were members
00:19:38.280 of stephen harper's government who who exposed and who criticized the barbaric practice of female 1.00
00:19:47.560 genital mutilation that goes on in some muslim communities this is disgusting it's not part of
00:19:56.760 canada it's it is a complete violation of human rights and women's rights and yet they don't want 1.00
00:20:04.040 us to talk about that what is this islamophobia czar wants to talk about well i mean she really
00:20:10.760 thinks that canada day is a farce because it's based on a judeo-christian storytelling now this
00:20:20.600 is outrageous why would somebody like this even want to work for the government of canada if she 1.00
00:20:25.240 hates canada this much she hates our judeo-christian heritage she hates our british heritage 0.98
00:20:31.560 the rule of law and all of the rights that the british commonwealth stood for and we have
00:20:39.400 inherited in this country freedom of speech freedom of religion oh and she's taking advantage 0.99
00:20:43.720 of these things obviously the only reason she can make stupid statements like this is because we 1.00
00:20:48.440 have freedom of speech and freedom of religion in canada canada does not need an islamophobia czar
00:20:55.240 most canadians are quite happy with working with being friends with their muslim neighbors
00:21:03.880 muslims are actively committing contributing to our society they're working and they're having 0.94
00:21:09.160 success in canada they don't need some islamophobia czar and if we have an islamophobia czar why
00:21:16.840 don't we have a christophobe czar christians are often subject to terrible hate especially
00:21:24.760 from this trudeau government so as as we conclude today no we do not need an islamophobia czar
00:21:33.080 it's the last thing we need all it's doing is sowing the seeds of intolerance and and creating
00:21:39.720 division not unity and it's not a healthy situation but it's all part of trudeau's identity politics
00:21:48.840 what trudeau wants to do is divide canadians and divide and conquer but you know muslims 1.00
00:21:54.680 would you like the rest of us they're going to vote not based on whether or not we have
00:21:59.400 an islamophobia czar but on high taxes increased regulations and freedom they want freedom most
00:22:07.480 muslims just want freedom in this society and the liberal government's not giving them that
00:22:12.040 it's censoring them it's giving them high taxes it's creating inflation by high spending
00:22:16.360 and it's doubled the national debt in seven years.
00:22:20.180 And that's what Justin Trudeau is all about.
00:22:23.140 So let's end it there for now.
00:22:26.380 This is David Creighton speaking for the Western Standard Senior Parliamentary Columnist.
00:22:32.820 You've just been listening to Auto Exposed.
00:22:34.760 And I want to tell you, we really love you being here.
00:22:39.880 Bye for now.
00:22:46.360 ago these guys are on the front lines helping to draft smart and intelligent firearms regulations
00:22:52.760 and legislation in canada and more importantly educating the public about how we keep guns out
00:22:58.200 of the hands of the wrong people who become a member it's absolutely worth every penny
00:23:04.920 you can become a western standard member for just 10 a month or 99 a year for unlimited
