I like how the article uses “pro-transparency” to describe Project Veritas when it misrepresents itself or uses hidden cameras to capture videos like this. ---

The inaptly named Project Veritas has a history of lying and using misleading edits to promote misinformation about Covid-19 vaccination. [https://www.techarp.com/science/project-veritas-pfizer-nick-karl/](https://www.techarp.com/science/project-veritas-pfizer-nick-karl/) Don’t expect them to release a complete video or transcript of this latest interview so we can see what they edited out. ---

Like, why don’t we liberate it? We’re spending all this money to liberate Ukraine from the Russians. Why are we not sending an armed force north to liberate Canada from Trudeau?

He’s just an asinine comedian now, right? I mean, this is just pathetic. Sadly, he has plenty of “fans” in Canada too. They follow Trudeau around hurling obscenities and abuse at him. Nice folks. I guess they’ll be sad to know that the RCMP has files on people who threaten our politicians. ---

> [@BeepKillBeep](#): > > pull the show from airing in Canada. Meh. It’s a comedy show, run by a talentless clown. He just wants people to listen to him. He’s like a 5 year old at someone’s birthday party who throws cake at the walls because the birthday boy is getting all the attention. It’s a clown show that nobody takes seriously. Nobody is going to come across the border with the idea of “liberating” Canada. It’s unlikely they would make it past the border guards, and if they brought weapons, they’d be charged and deported so fast, their tiny meth-heads would swim. ---

Yeah it is all funny until it promotes real violence. If the USA wants to give him a platform, then that’s the USA’s bad choice. However, my view is that he should be pulled from the air in Canada for calling for an _invasion of Canada to remove our elected Prime Minister_! ---

> [@BeepKillBeep](#): > > Yeah it is all funny until it promotes real violence. I agree, but it’s a link that would be awfully hard to prove. Fucker Carlson is certainly stoking our local “We hate Trudeau and so should you” mopes. Banning the Fucker Carlson is not going to stem the tide though. He’s just one noisy clown in the violent right-wing circus. ---

No. Here in Canada, what he did is illegal. You cannot advocate for the violent overthrow of the government. I’m not saying he should be pulled from the air for causing violence. He should be pulled form the air for advocating at all for the overthrowing of our government.

I see your point, but banning Fucker Carlson will only give him the notoriety and publicity he seeks as a clown. There are likely a few home-grown assholes that we should be going after first. Like the ones who were planning to murder police officers in Southern Alberta. ---

God help me, but I’m going to defend Tucker Carlson on the charge of inciting violence against the Trudeau government. What he is guilty of is false equivalence. He’s saying that sending support to defend Ukraine is the same as supporting the overthrow of Trudeau. ---
