Western Standard - Ottawa Exposed： Trudeau is Delusional While Elon Musk Exposes Woke Twitter

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. Welcome to Ottawa Exposed with David Crayton. This is the inaugural episode

00:00:16.080 of which I hope will be a weekly viewing experience with you. And this is the Western

00:00:23.360 Standard, and I'm very happy to be the senior parliamentary columnist for the best media

00:00:31.460 outlet out there. We're an independent media, and that's really what I want to start off with

00:00:36.760 before I get into the columns I've been writing this week. I want to say that the Western Standard

00:00:43.080 does not accept any government money. We're not subsidized, so we're free to speak about the

00:00:48.580 government. But that doesn't mean I'm just going to tell you what the opposition is doing either

00:00:53.600 because I'm a journalist. And, you know, I've heard so much lately from other journalists

00:00:58.800 who think you have to take sides. And that's never a good thing. We have to always be

00:01:05.940 objective or at least try to be. And we have to get our message out there in a way

00:01:11.680 that tells the truth. And I just wrote a column in today about George Orwell and

00:01:17.300 he was somebody dedicated to the truth even if it went against his own ideology and i promise to

00:01:24.180 always be up front with you and to tell you what's really going on in ottawa and that's why we call

00:01:28.820 the show ottawa exposed because believe me the national press corps doesn't like to expose

00:01:35.460 ottawa they like to keep things calm and sedate they don't like to rock the boat and believe me

00:01:42.020 that's not why i'm in this business i do like to rock the boat i like to tell the truth and i like

00:01:47.860 people to know what's really going on in the house of commons the senate and what we call

00:01:52.900 the parliament of canada together so i'm going to start off with my first column of the week

00:01:59.780 which was elon musk and what i think it's the most important story actually that we have

00:02:06.580 have anywhere at any time anytime this story is groundbreaking in that it is absolutely excuse me

00:02:18.100 verifying that Twitter had not only a bias but was working with the Democratic Party to steal

00:02:28.660 the 2020 election and the twitter was working with the fbi was working with the justice department

00:02:38.900 was targeting conservatives and was ensuring that news that was detrimental to democrats

00:02:48.420 was not being seen that conservatives were being shadow banned conservatives were being cancelled

00:02:54.740 And the Twitter bent over backwards to have Donald Trump canceled because they didn't like him.

00:03:02.520 They wanted Donald Trump removed from that broadcast medium.

00:03:08.560 And the other questions I think we need to ask is how many intelligence officers are still working at Twitter?

00:03:16.000 Because we know there were at least 15 intelligence officers working there.

00:03:20.540 And I mean, this is absolutely shocking.

00:03:22.600 Why does a social media outlet need intelligence officers unless they're up to something?

00:03:31.040 Are they gathering information for the United States government or for foreign governments?

00:03:37.580 And these are questions we still need to have answered.

00:03:40.200 In addition to, did Joe Biden as president put pressure on Twitter to report the news that was favorable to him in a manner that was favorable to him?

00:03:51.780 These are questions we have to have answers to because this is a bigger story than Watergate.

00:03:58.840 And, you know, you look around, I don't see very many media outlets covering the story in the depth that it needs to be covered.

00:04:06.740 We're covering this at the Western Standard.

00:04:08.780 We've been covering it every day.

00:04:10.240 Every time there's a dump of material to the independent journalist that Elon Musk is allowing to see this material, we're talking about it.

00:04:19.820 In the United States, Fox News is covering this story.

00:04:24.940 There's a scattering of other mainstream media, but largely it's being ignored because this is embarrassing to the mainstream media, just as embarrassing as it is to the Biden administration.

00:04:36.860 And this story could bring down the Biden administration, because this is a earth-shaking story, and it's not being treated that way by the media who are afraid of it.

00:04:50.220 And I'm going to continue to talk about this as these Twitter files continue to grow.

00:05:00.060 And I applaud Elon Musk because I don't think he really wanted a social media outlet.

00:05:07.080 He's got enough to do with a car company and traveling in outer space.

00:05:14.020 But he wanted to see what was going on behind closed doors in Twitter.

00:05:20.220 And I think we're going to see a lot more interesting information come out.

00:05:24.680 He's revealed it to be nothing but a left-wing woke propaganda unit.

00:05:30.140 And that should scare everybody, not just conservatives, not just libertarians,

00:05:35.880 but liberals who are supposed to believe, and they always said they believed, in free speech.

00:05:42.240 And if free speech is being infringed upon and abridged by social media,

00:05:47.720 that's something we need to stop or at the very least we need to acknowledge it's going on so

00:05:54.440 people the public know what's happening so I think that's the most important story of the week for me

00:06:01.000 and I think it's the most important story of the year perhaps in terms of what's actually happening

00:06:06.380 if you believe in free speech you need to be very concerned about this I want to move on to a by

00:06:14.240 election this week in in mississauga people say mississauga that's sort of like toronto isn't it

00:06:21.440 it's a suburb of toronto and i think the conservatives could have done better

00:06:27.760 instead of getting 37.5 percent of the vote the seat was won by a liberal with over 50 just over

00:06:37.320 51% of the vote in a five person race. So that's a fairly convincing win. And I think it's

00:06:45.400 embarrassing that only 26% of the constituents there came out to vote. 26%. Now you expect

00:06:55.420 by-elections to have fewer people. You expect the electorate's going to shrink in a by-election

00:07:04.740 because there's not the momentum, there's not the news coverage,

00:07:09.960 there's not the feeling that my vote's going to change the country.

00:07:14.180 But where were the conservatives in this?

00:07:16.440 And I really have to ask that question.

00:07:18.240 Why didn't the conservatives push harder for an electoral win here?

00:07:22.460 If they're so concerned about this next election going their way,

00:07:27.860 why wasn't Pierre Polyev on scene more often?

00:07:32.340 And I think he was there, despite the reports that he wasn't.

00:07:37.660 But they needed to fight for this seat if they really believed Justin Trudeau's days are ended.

00:07:42.620 Because what did Justin Trudeau do as soon as the results were in?

00:07:47.480 And as soon as it looked like a convincing win, he basically took credit and said Canadians are happy with his style of government.

00:07:55.240 And, of course, Canadians are not happy with his style of government.

00:07:59.100 But when 26% of a riding comes out to vote and 50% of it votes liberal, that doesn't look very good.

00:08:09.160 The optics were terrible for the Conservative Party.

00:08:13.020 And they need to do a lot better than this.

00:08:17.440 And if they can't do better than this, they have to worry about this next election.

00:08:20.620 Because as bad as Justin Trudeau is, and he is, I think, among the worst,

00:08:26.480 if not the worst prime minister in canadian history don't take it for granted that you're

00:08:33.200 going to win by sitting on the sidelines and just criticizing you've got to present a positive

00:08:39.920 conservative set of ideas and policies and this is what the republican party just learned in the

00:08:47.120 midterm elections just five weeks ago they assumed joe biden was so bad they couldn't lose

00:08:54.960 and thankfully they they did take the house because there needs to be accountability

00:09:00.160 in the congress but they barely took the house and they should have taken it by a wide berth

00:09:05.920 and they failed to take the senate despite there being a president that is monumentally incompetent

00:09:13.760 and by all intents and purposes appears to be suffering from dementia so this is this should

00:09:21.200 not have happened and the republicans in the u.s need to get their act together for the next

00:09:26.160 presidential election and the next congressional elections two years from now but this has got to

00:09:33.200 be a warning for canadian conservatives that they cannot take an electoral victory for granted even

00:09:40.640 if justin trudeau is still there and runs again as bad as he's been he's not necessarily going to

00:09:49.200 lose because we thought so last time i would have predicted and i did predict he was going to lose

00:09:55.580 the last federal election because there was just so much accreting nonsense and bad policy and

00:10:04.400 bad karma you will around him but he he won and that brings me to the next column which is

00:10:14.260 both canada and the u.s have been on a slippery slope for quite some time but i would argue that

00:10:23.320 we've gone so far down that slippery slope in terms of social anarchy that we are on the verge

00:10:30.360 of if not hitting rock bottom for modern western civilization and i think this this has to be

00:10:36.500 acknowledged because whether or not you you agree whether you did agree or whether you still agree

00:10:42.700 with same-sex marriage or whether you opposed it.

00:10:46.580 A lot of people at the time that same-sex marriage was approved

00:10:50.440 said it was a slippery slope,

00:10:53.320 that it wouldn't end with same-sex marriage.

00:10:55.700 It would be the beginning of radical social change in this country.

00:11:00.140 I said that at the time, 15 years ago.

00:11:03.420 And I think I was right.

00:11:05.380 And I think other people who said that are also very correct

00:11:09.140 because we haven't stopped there.

00:11:11.820 We've continued. 1.00

00:11:12.700 The whole transgender question of allowing children to change their gender without even their parents' consent, this is a nightmare. 1.00

00:11:26.480 This is hogwash. 1.00

00:11:28.600 Allowing biological males to compete against women in sports, this is decimating and at the very least eroding women's rights. 0.95

00:11:40.720 And this is a contradiction, an irony of this whole woke social change, is that as hard as women fought to gain their electoral freedom, to gain the vote, to be allowed to work and to earn the same amount of money as men, those rights are being eroded by the whole transgender question. 0.85

00:12:05.460 because we are allowing people who imagine themselves to be a different gender to be 0.78

00:12:13.220 recognized as that and to compete in sports and it's an unfair advantage and anybody can tell you

00:12:19.940 that except they won't because they're afraid of losing their job of being declared transphobic

00:12:31.060 are being criticized and it's not easy to stand up for truth but that's exactly what we have to

00:12:36.820 do in this country and it's so the slippery slope is there and but what i really fear is happening 0.68

00:12:45.140 is that all of these this sudden obsession with having drag queens read stories to

00:12:54.980 10 year olds to elementary school students at libraries and at schools why are they doing this

00:12:59.620 why are they sexualizing children i mean what is the purpose of this is it there was a time when

00:13:05.940 nobody would even imagine that a drag queen would be invited to the school to read stories i mean 0.73

00:13:12.260 why a drag queen why not the local pastor or priest why a drag queen well obviously 0.69

00:13:20.980 there's an increasing desire and tendency to try to normalize pedophilia i believe that very

00:13:28.100 strongly the woke social forces in this country for over a decade have been fighting for the

00:13:35.620 recognition of pedophiles as being a social sexual orientation a normal sexual orientation

00:13:44.740 are we far from that well we're seeing the word pedophile increasingly being relinquished

00:13:51.380 in schools that that people are minor attracted now when you first hear that word you say what

00:13:58.580 what what on earth does minor attracted even mean because it sounds so innocuous but what it's

00:14:06.580 describing is a pedophile or what we used to more accurately describe as a child molester

00:14:12.260 but my god you won't see that term used very often because it's negative and it's describing

00:14:21.040 this sexual orientation in a negative way but we have to do that because it is it is damaging

00:14:28.420 it's destructive and it's time to stop pretending that things are what they aren't

00:14:36.720 And that is the basis of this whole slippery slope.

00:14:40.400 We are in such denial and delusion about the effects of this second sexual revolution

00:14:47.980 that we're afraid to call out things as they are.

00:14:53.340 And once again, that's something I like to hit in my columns.

00:14:57.000 I like to call out things as they are.

00:15:00.780 We all have our democratic rights.

00:15:05.000 We all are imbued with liberty.

00:15:08.580 We are all subject to the freedoms in this country of the Constitution and the Charter of Rights.

00:15:15.240 But that does not give us the right to infringe on other people's liberty

00:15:21.100 and to be destructive in our behavior simply because we say we own those rights.

00:15:28.360 And I think this is absolutely essential we understand this.

00:15:31.800 I'd like to conclude today with a story that's both tragic and funny.

00:15:38.740 Last night, Wednesday night, our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke to the liberal faithful at the annual Christmas dinner here in Ottawa.

00:15:50.100 Now, if you've ever worked on the Hill, you know that every Christmas, every party has a Christmas dinner.

00:15:58.240 usually on parliament hill they they they sit in the very section all the mps are there

00:16:04.240 the staffers are there the the family and all the other assorted grits as i as i said in my column

00:16:15.600 but trudeau was the keynote speaker and they haven't really got together in a in a real way

00:16:20.640 for at least three years now because of the pandemic so this this was the first speech

00:16:26.800 trudeau has made to the liberal faithful all gathered together for quite some time

00:16:33.600 and i must say he's he's he's used to going places making speeches and seeing protests

00:16:39.040 but he got a lot of applause last night of course you would expect that and he got a

00:16:45.200 lot of appreciation so you know he had a chance to really talk about things but what did he talk

00:16:50.720 about he decided to go after conservative leader pierre polyev and suggests that canada's not

00:16:59.600 broken well actually polyev never said canada was broken and said it feels like that sometimes

00:17:06.160 because of trudeau's policies so that was to begin with inaccurate his whole keynote address was based

00:17:13.200 on that assumption that polio had said this he did not see that he said because of trudeau's

00:17:21.760 policies because of the raw economic times we're experiencing right now it feels like that it seems

00:17:29.040 like that and i think that's an accurate statement to make but trudeau went further and suggested

00:17:36.880 that folly is afraid of the media that he runs away from the press and all and and he has an

00:17:44.240 inability to to communicate directly to canadians well i think actually that's not true he's

00:17:50.480 communicating very directly and justin trudeau is not afraid of the media why should he be he

00:17:56.800 subsidizes most of it and he fully funds the cbc so of course he's not running from the media

00:18:06.480 And every time you see the national media here in Ottawa

00:18:09.660 assemble together at a news conference,

00:18:12.360 they just love to lob softball questions towards the prime minister.

00:18:19.460 I have rarely seen a tough question thrown at the prime minister

00:18:24.900 in the last three years,

00:18:26.900 largely because they know that their salaries

00:18:30.220 are dependent upon the liberal government.

00:18:32.680 And this is something,

00:18:33.440 if the conservative party becomes the next government it needs to reverse the subsidized

00:18:41.280 subsidization of the media because it's destructive and it's a form of of

00:18:49.280 press suppression it's a it's a form of destroying free speech because governments traditionally

00:18:56.720 have destroyed the free press in two ways they use the the stick and the carrot the stick is to ban

00:19:08.960 various media the carrot is to give the media money or privileges or advantage to report the

00:19:16.480 news the way the government wants to this is exactly what the true to government's done

00:19:20.240 it's censoring the news through internet bills and it's getting the kind of coverage it wants

00:19:28.660 by giving the media outlets the money they're demanding this is completely contrary to good

00:19:38.540 government and good governance because canada deserves better than this but i found trudeau's

00:19:45.060 speech last night to be highly, highly entertaining, as I always do, but for the wrong reasons, of

00:19:51.020 course, because he, after going after Polyev and the Conservative Party, he had the unmitigated

00:20:00.060 gall to suggest that the Conservatives are our neighbors, you know, and he doesn't really care

00:20:06.760 how people vote, and of course, I, no other Prime Minister could come up with a, with a statement

00:20:13.040 like that with a straight face but let's face it he wasn't he was an actor not a very good one but

00:20:19.640 he was an actor and it was interesting to see him actually take the time out to speak to people

00:20:26.400 because he uh he hasn't done a lot of that lately you know in between going to drag queen show

00:20:32.860 appearances getting into arguments with chinese dictators singing queen songs on the eve of the

00:20:42.540 queen's funeral in london and his usual antics trudeau is has not been doing a lot of governing

00:20:53.640 he does a lot of nonsense and but i'll tell you what i appreciate the fact that we have

00:21:01.140 justin trudeau in ottawa because he provides instant fodder for columnists like me he's

00:21:10.080 always doing something that is irresistible in terms of reporting and in return to talking about

00:21:18.400 and i know he he's he's not going to be i know he's not going to be there after the next election

00:21:26.080 whether and whether or not his caucus decides to remove him or whether he's defeated he will be

00:21:32.960 missed because of the fodder he provides in terms of the political stories that continue to come

00:21:42.640 from his office and from him so so that's issue episode number one of ottawa exposed i tell you

00:21:53.520 ottawa's a place i always said i'd never come back to because i'm from british columbia i'm

00:22:00.480 I grew up in Comox in the Air Force, and I spent most of my career in the Air Force in Comox.

00:22:07.120 And I always said I'm never coming back to Ottawa, but there's always a reason I do.

00:22:12.100 And I never consider myself a part of the city or a part of the political culture.

00:22:16.260 But I tell you this, I'm glad I'm here to report on what's happening right now,

00:22:24.360 because I think we're witnessing history, whether or not it was the Freedom Convoy,

00:22:30.480 in February and the absolutely uncalled for authoritarian response to that from

00:22:39.740 Justin Trudeau, namely the Emergencies Act. I'm glad I was here to report all of that

00:22:46.960 and to give you a perspective you're not going to see or hear from the mainstream media,

00:22:56.180 which largely rejoiced over the smothering the crushing of dissent in this country and

00:23:05.140 there has to be an opposition in the media now because the media is largely in justin trudeau's

00:23:11.700 pocket and the western standard and i as a part of the western standard am committed to ensuring

00:23:18.420 that that doesn't happen that we're going to have we're going to have an opposition

00:23:23.780 media that's going to call a spade a spade it's going to actually articulate truth and

00:23:31.640 i tell you that's a that is something i'm proud to do and i'm proud to be associated with the

00:23:38.180 western standard and i'm very happy to be doing this show every week and i want an audience so

00:23:44.580 tell your friends about it bring people on board here and tell them that every thursday too i'm

00:23:51.540 going to be talking about the issues that you want to hear about in a way that you want to hear

00:23:57.220 them. And I think that's a calling right now that I'm very, very happy to fulfill. So for the first

00:24:05.680 episode of Ottawa Exposed, I'm David Creighton. Have a great rest of the week and weekend and

00:24:13.940 we'll see you here next week. Here's an update on the current commodity prices around Lethbridge.
