Not so long ago I would have brushed off anything to do with Fox News.
Today, I see Tucker Carlson (Fox News) as a contributor to the fight to take back our freedoms. Not perfect, but certainly more effective than I can be!
As I see it, we have to break through the propaganda that feeds daily into living rooms through Mainstream Media (MSM) if we are to regain the freedoms guaranteed by Canadian Constitutional Law.
We won’t get to “Strong and Free” if we can’t break the propaganda machines.
In my experience, emotionally & spiritually strong, healthy people can take some ribbing. They are able to laugh at themselves. Jelly-kneed they are not.
Breaking through the propaganda means breaking through our stereotypes, built up over years. We have to be able to HEAR other voices. There was a time when we could.
Tucker Carlson does a good job in this video. PARODY, humour! It’s interesting how he can see through Canadian MSM coverage of the Trucker Convoy in Ottawa, but simultaneously (in my opinion) fall for airing what is surely planted spin – – that Justin Trudeau’s biological father is Fidel Castro. Carlson unfortunately plucked the emotional string of association with “communist” in this otherwise important contribution.
It’s hard to believe, in comparison, how badly Canadians are served by MSM.

Regarding the funny parody of “The Russians! It’s the Russians who are the instigators!”
There is indeed a ridiculous attempt to roll out the weary, age-old fraud of creating a fearful foreign distraction for public engagement. See the excerpt taken from:

EXCERPT:
A fellow had stayed home yesterday while his wife went to Victoria. (I travelled with his wife and cousin.) He wanted to see how things were going. He watched Chek News at 5:00 (yesterday, Saturday, 22nd).
Tell me this was not staged:
Yesterday was simultaneously a day of protest in support of the Ukraine vrs Russia, at the same location as the Mandates protest, the Freedom Rally at the Legislature in Victoria.
Chek News interviewed some protestors, with the thousands of protesters in the background.
All the interviewees spoke to the Ukraine issue. I was there; I didn’t observe even one person there for that issue. I, of course, didn’t see all the 4 thousand people at the Rally. But we circulated around, seeing a pretty good cross-section.
Doesn’t matter. We are effective communicators ourselves. This regime of propagandists is coming down.
Today I was disgusted to receive a fund-raising letter that used the very stupidities that Carlson high-lighted. The name of the organization is removed. “Katie” should be removed. (My reply follows the letter received.)
RECEIVED: WE CAN’T IGNORE THE RISE OF THE FAR RIGHT (The Trucker Convoy)
From: Katie Perfitt
Sent: January 31, 2022
To: Sandra Finley
Subject: We can’t ignore the rise of the far right.
Let’s build a movement big enough to stop them.
Sandra,
As of this morning the “Truckers for Freedom” occupation has entered its third day in Ottawa, choking off access to the downtown core and putting hate symbols on open display.1 Whether they were watching on the news from the other side of the country or from their front doors in downtown Ottawa, people across the country were disgusted by the harassment, vandalism and hate.
You probably know by now that members of Canada’s far-right movement organized the convoy, and the protest has attracted the sympathy of thousands more who are angry and disaffected by a system they know is rigged.2
In fact, the current convoy camped out on Parliament Hill looks remarkably similar to the Yellow Vest convoy that descended on Ottawa three years ago. Claiming to be in opposition to Trudeau’s carbon tax, it similarly became swept up by anti-immigrant and far-right sentiment.
Right wing politicians and their operators have been pouring fuel on working class frustration ever since. Instead of addressing the problems we face, they’ve successfully tapped into working people’s rage in order to further their visions of everything from fossil fuel expansion to privatization to white nationalist ideologies. . . .

Good grief, Katie!
You are bought into mainstream media (CBC for example).
CONSTITUTIONAL LAW in many (most? All?) western democracies says “MY BODY, MY CHOICE”.
When a government starts forced vaccinations they have stepped way over their boundary.
When it’s experimental vaccinations that have not been properly tested, being forced on children, the government has become dangerous.
Do you have any idea how thoroughly CORRUPT and CORRUPTING big pharma is? (how corrupt is BIG OIL & GAS, or the NUCLEAR INDUSTRY?) Think you can trust them?
Do you think that MAYBE the new billionaires since the beginning of the “pandemic” in Pfizer alone, might have some interest in forced vaccination of everyone? With all that nice money collected from the Government (but we paid the money)?
Do you actually believe that the mainstream media is accurately reflecting what’s going on in the Freedom rallies? What the Truckers convoy has ignited?
Truckers for Freedom is about the Rule of Law.
Do you have any idea about Constitutional Law and its significance?
Do you KNOW what the Nuremberg Trials were about?
Do you KNOW that “The doctors’ trials”, a subset of the Nuremberg Trials condemned doctors to death for their experiments on human beings. Tenets of International Law, foundational for Canadian Laws, PROHIBIT forced “medical” treatment. We have a constitutional right to sovereignty over our own bodies.
There are many court cases that have been launched in Canada, AND in other countries, that challenge what is being done by Governments. Already some back-pedalling has started.
The court cases will proceed nonetheless, and that means a whole lot of evidence will come into the public sphere, evidence from scientists who are not on the payroll of Big Pharma, things you should know. Propaganda isn’t a good basis for decision-making.
If YOU want to be vaccinated, that’s 100% fine with the Freedom Convoy. And their hundreds of thousands of supporters.
I am one of those supporters. (Many of the freedom people are vaccinated – – by choice. They recognize the value of Constitutional Rights. And many more people are beginning to recognize propaganda when they see and experience it.)
You will get yourself into trouble commenting on things you appear to know little about. The actions of the people you highlight have nothing to do with the Rallies.
You may like to know: people in the Freedom movement have an active on-line space. In which pictures and videos that capture the disruptors you name – – – taken by people in the crowd – – – are being collected and analyzed in order to identify the persons responsible. By now, $6,500 has been donated (outside the Trucker GoFundMe) as a reward to anyone who can identify the person(s) responsible for the actions.
Offended by your characterizations,
Sandra Finley
P.S. I will send “Katie” the Tucker Carlson link.
