We’re under attack

When Candice Malcolm first started True North way back in 2016, she did so because she knew Canadians needed to be better informed about issues.

She knew that the legacy media was failing at their jobs, and that Canadians deserved to hear the other side of the story.

At first, politicians and the legacy media ignored us.

After all, we were just a website.

Then we started growing. Canadians realized that True North, more than any other outlet in the country, was willing to tell them the truth.

And suddenly we had thousands of followers. Then tens of thousands. Now, hundreds of thousands. And millions of visitors to our website every year.

At that point, we couldn’t be ignored any longer.

So the legacy media started fighting us. Trying to slander our name.

And the politicians started fighting us, too. The Trudeau government even tried to prevent us from covering the 2019 election! But we took him to court – and won.

They’re still fighting us today.

Over the last week, True North has come under attack from all sides.

First, Spotify removed a podcast of ours for daring to talk about residential schools.

The Trudeau Liberals are trying to turn questioning the mass graves narrative into a crime by outlawing what they call "residential school denialism". And big tech platforms like Spotify are more than happy to censor objective journalism – before it even becomes law.

Then, the government-funded website ‘Canadian Dimension’ slandered us by referring to us as “far-right”. They also suggested – with absolutely no proof at all – that we are tied to some sort of Russian disinformation operation. This is an outright fabrication that has zero basis in reality.

Then, NDP MP Lindsay Mathyssen said – at a National Defence Committee meeting! – that she wants to "defeat" True North, while repeating the lie that we are somehow connected to Russia.

And then, late last week, the Toronto Star slandered us again by casually referring to True North as “far-right”. And yes, before you ask, the Toronto Star does receive tens of millions of dollars from the federal government.

Mister, this is what we’re up against.

It’s not just a few politicians, or the CBC.

It’s the entirety of the lefty politicos and the legacy media complex, working together to try to take us down.

To try to prevent YOU from getting fair, balanced, NON-government funded news.

And it’s disgusting.

We will not stop fighting, but we need your help.

When the above-mentioned “news” outlets need money, they just hold out their hand and the Trudeau government showers them with millions.

We will never do that.

How can a media outlet be fair and neutral if they’re beneficiaries of government handouts? We don’t think they can.

CPP is the latest on Carney’s chopping block
The new $50 billion Brookfield partnership puts hard-earned Canadian pensions at risk.

All eyes should be firmly placed front and centre on the current situation between Mark Carney and our Canada Pension Plan (CPP). His furtive sleight of hand is in action once again. In short, his latest method of eventually transferring our hard-earned fund over to his bedfellow Brookfield has begun.

The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Brookfield have launched a $50 billion “Maple Fund.” Their explanation is that it will be utilized to funnel capital into critical infrastructure and other industries across Canada. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

In 1965, the CPP, introduced by the government, was initiated in order to assist people who did not have a retirement pension. Employees gave a certain percentage of their income to the fund, and the employers matched that figure. To be exact, 15% of income before taxes.

This fund consists of our hard-earned money, and we ...
