Dear PatronsHere is our latest Honest Government Ad, which as always you've made possible through your support here on Patreon. Thank you. Canadians have been requesting an HGA for years (I'm not exagerating), so finally, here we are! It feels like this HGA has taken me years to make: I tried in early 2020 (just after the RCMP raids shown in the HGA). But then Covid happened and then the US election, and then Australia's election, and well... SORRY, CANADIANS! But this year, in April, I had the honour of being invited to Canada to share ideas with a bunch of talented satirists who are producing content about their own Government's climate shitfuckery. A big thanks to JP (one of our Patrons) at the Trottier Foundation for arranging my visit and connecting me with some awesome folks there, including David Suzuki in Vancouver, Kai Nagata at Dogwood (who has been researching the link between CGL and David Petraeus), Carol Linnitt at The Narwhal (which has been doing by far the best reporting on Coastal GasLink), and others (full credits in the video description).Thanks to these conversations I was able to get a better sense of what's happening on the ground with the Coastal GasLink pipeline - which is ~90% completed, bar the final tract passing through Wet'Suwet'En lands. I am so inspired by the resistance these land-defenders are putting up against some of the most powerful global financial firms, banks and interests behind CGL. It reminds me of Standing Rock in the US of 2016, and similar campaigns here in Australia. Of course, all three of these countries are extractivist settler-colonies, so we have much shitfuckery in common. Which is why learning about what's happening in Canada gives us valuable insight into what's going on right here in Australia - for example, right now in Western Australia (see our HGA, Visit WA)So I am honoured to put The Juice Media to the service of this cause by helping this story reach more people with this Honest Government Ad: Visit Canada. Because the fight over the Coastal GasLink is about to fire up again and when it does, it's important that people know what's going on.I'm not gonna lie, this HGA has been a mamoth task - by far the hardest one I've done so far, and it took extra time to get some fact-checking done, and clear permissions from First Nations for use of footage. Which is partly why I wasn't able to get it out before the end of August. As always, thank you Patrons for making this work possible. There's no way I could dedicate the time and energy it takes to research and produce such work without you. I also want to let you know that sadly, my beautiful mother in Cape Town (South Africa) is dying. So I will be getting on a plane in a few days to see her for the last time to say my goodbyes. For this reason I apologise in advance if we don't manage to get an HGA done in September. (I will try my best)On the bright side, I will be publishing my interview with David Suzuki when I get back from South Africa, and that will definitely be out before the end of Sept. Till then, take careGiordano & teamPS. Patreon has caused chaos this month for all Australian creators due to mass-declined payments. If you've been supporting us via PayPal in AUD, your payment was probably declined. The solution for many has been to switch to card payments - thank you to everyone who has taken the trouble to do this. If you're still using PayPal, and have the ability to use a card instead, please consider this to avoid this happening to you on the next billing day. But the fact remains, this has caused a huge disruption to many of you, as well as a big loss of income for us. So I will be making a separate post soon about alternatives to help us avoid this in future.

Holy Hypocrisy! The Canucks can go canuck themselves! Ellen nailed this one, from accents to outfits. I've already spread it in my own social media channels. Thank Gaia for the Juice Media!

Moz in Oz

Canukstan? It's just another mine site in (very east) Asia...

Paul Elwell-Sutton

Governments captured by corporate capital, as always, and everywhere, with few or no exceptions. Only direct action and mass civil disobedience can prevail against the plunderers and their dogs.

Dan Stefanich

O Canada! Where pines and maples grow, Great prairies spread and lordly rivers flow, How dear to us thy broad domain, From East to Western sea! Thou land of hope for all who toil! Thou True North, strong and free!

Linda B.

Thank you for this video. I love the way you describe the Wet'Suwet'En and the problem of band councils being bought. I'm so tired of hearing, "But, some of them approve." "They got permission from some of the indigenous people." Also, thank you for actually talking to the Wet'Suwet'En and getting their side of the story, unlike so many news outlets just accepting some settler version of what the Wet'Suwet'En want.

Among your best! Great work and very revealing of the Con-uckery going on.

Ed Griffith

Another great job! You alone get the point across quickly and with humor about world wide issues. Proud and happy to be a Patreon from the United States!

Edward Lander

Wow, I had no idea this was happening in Canada :-o Well done for covering this Giordano (and team) - and I thought the Canadian tar sands were already a disaster for the climate ... 🙈 Also, sorry to hear about your mum's health Giordano. Obviously take all the time you need to spend some quality time with her :-)

DrWex

Agreed. I love the "support these First Nations" links as well.

thejuicemedia

Hi David, I am going to share some alternative options shortly

thejuicemedia

I find them incredibly inspiring and utterly badass in a loving way

thejuicemedia

Thanks for these thoughtful words Edward, I really appreciate it. Am getting on a plane in a few hours, hoping to get there in time

Laurence Peterson

Deepest sympathy regarding your mother's condition, Giordano. She must have been an irreplaceable inspiration for your work, and must continue to be very proud of you. I hope her spirit will continue to live on in your life. And congratulations to the whole team for another great HGA.

thejuicemedia

Thank you so much for these beautiful words Laurence - I can't tell you fitting they are. She's been a huge part of everything I've done... in a way i've continued her work. It's going to be hard saying goodbye

Mayank Jha

Very enlightening, as usual!

M Dunne

Another great and informative video. So sorry to hear about your mum! Hope travel goes smoothly and you get to spend time with her.

steph von bothmer

Jason Orcamoon

Safe travels! She will always be with you; and, I hope she laughs as hard as I did at the calculator scene: FUCK ALL, EH

thejuicemedia

Thank you so much Marika - waiting to board flight to SA now

thejuicemedia

Aww thank you Steph, really appreciate the kind words and knowing our Patrons have our back even in tricky times.

thejuicemedia

She will, indeed she is present in much of the work we do here at the Juice Media. Thank you Jason/K!

Peter Thomas Miller

One of the best yet! Thank you, for telling it, as it (really) is!

Drew Hammond

Thank you for the hard work and research preparing this video during what must be a very difficult personal time. Please take time for yourself and family. I will be thinking of you and the HGA team.

Jim McCarthy

Please have a look at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqM5RexkebQ and see if it's worth one of your excellent "adverts" Especially the bit about Tesla using diesel generators to power their "turbo charging" stations. Smacks of a massive dose of hypocrisy

Stuart Carroll

Do you think MP's removing your video posted by Australian citizens on their social media sites a breech of Political communication? Would love to know the answer to this as i know they are taxpayer funded and should covered under the constitution and not be removed.
