We cannot let the voices of a few dictate the choices of many; the silencing of truth tellers
BY MICHAEL THOMAS
It seems like Tucker Carlson killed two birds with one stone: first he was taken off the Fox News platform and now Egale Canada is petitioning the CRTC to get Fox News removed from Canada’s networks on account of what they are calling his hate speech towards transgendered folks.
However, anyway this verdict goes down here in this country, Canadians are the losers, and here is why. Let us find out if there is any merit to this argument by Egale Canada, or if there is more to this than meets the eye.
Egale Canada argues that Tucker Carlson made “False and horrifying claims,” against the transgendered fraternity which in turn insights hate and violence against them. What did Tucker say that was false and horrifying?
According to Egale’s Canada executive director Helen Kennedy in her open letter to the CRTC, she is claiming he labelled them “Violent and dangerous.” I have listened to the video in question and what I took away was easy. Carlson made a series of observations on what was happening in America, and he produced his receipts; here is why I believe so.
He spoke on the targeting of a Christian school in Nashville in which a Trans person named Audrey Hale murdered three 9-year-old young children as well as three adults. He spoke about how NPR (aka National Public Radio) had a history of opposing citizens owning guns, yet they encourage Trans people to get and use guns. Carlson also pointed to the fact that the mainstream media trivialized the shooting to make it look as though it was not the shooter’s fault.
It gets personal now. Tucker in the same video accused Egale here in Canada of putting out a statement that ignored the children’s murder completely while instead claiming, “There has been an expediential rise in anti-trans violence.” For that Tucker called Egale liars. The big picture here is not Tucker Carlson, nor even Fox News; however, I believe that this is an attempt to suppress free speech and journalistic freedom.
It seems like the enemies of freedom have plans to use the so-called passing of Bill C-11 as a catalyst to silence everyone in Canada who does not agree with them. Canadians have to realize that this one-sided agenda cannot stand the test of time, and if the people don’t stand against it, it is going to be their funeral.
Today it may be Fox News, but have you thought of whose turn it will be tomorrow if we condone this totalitarianism? No one will be exempt. It is very easy to pick your victim off one by one, but unity is strength in Canada.
Now for a very important message from CitizenGo. “For anyone willing to make a difference here is where you can go and sign the petition, please remember this. Public consultations with the CRTC are closing on June 2nd. However, signing our petition will apply continuous pressure on Vicky Eatrides, Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer of the CRTC, and the CRTC as a whole to reconsider their decision.”
We must act now before it is too late: Sign the Petition Today!
Together, we can make a difference and protect our freedom to choose. Don’t let the voices of a few dictate the choices of many.
