Episode 51 of Season 4 is a Lesson In Journalism, about a Winnipeg Free Press attack on two candidates in the LRSD school trustee by-election. It was an obvious hit job timed for the Saturday edition before the June 6 vote. The powers that be in the Free Press newsroom decided to manufacture a controversy and 'Make the story fit the headline' to fool voters in St. Boniface. "I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to the facts, not even the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie." George Orwell, 1943 From the first paragraph, the narrative is laid out in a style of "professional journalism" where facts don't matter and anything challenging the narrative is excluded. The article, filled with innuendo and outright falsehoods, should be studied in every J-school in the country as a lesson on how a newspaper can influence an election by, as Orwell described, publishing a report with no relation to the facts. ⁠Check out the top episodes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, make a donation towards our costs, and help our public affairs coverage spring into Season 5 ! Part 1- Two candidates seeking to win the vacant Ward 1 seat were singled out over supporting 'parental rights' LRSD Board members, candidates seeking to join their club, and even the Superintendent were given free rein to invent malicious false claims about the pamphlets, and paint Sandra Saint-Cyr and Marcel Boille as "belligerent, confrontational and anti-inclusion." Marty Gold knows the facts because as a voter in the ward, he has the election literature the reporter was bashing. He also has the loaded, one-sided questions sent to one of the targets, ⁠Sandra Saint-Cyr, who was interviewed in Episode 46⁠. The story wanted to divert attention from their in-school practices, and we wondered why. Hear how Boille is smeared for courting supporters of deposed trustee Francine Champagne and defending her. The substance of his platform- "students do not belong to the trustees or the teachers" and wanting "quality academic and vocational education" was never divulged in the hit piece. 16:56 Part 2- While the LRSD Supt. claimed Saint-Cyr misrepresented the “lived experiences” in the schools, and others insisted parents were fully informed about division practices, we let you compare the candidate's supposedly controversial statements with actual LRSD policy- unlike the Free Press. The article misled readers about why Saint-Cyr hadn't responded to them - hiding that reporter Chris Kitching gave her only 3 hours to reply. 27.00- The road map of influencing the by-election pivoted on trapping Saint-Cyr with loaded questions built on Orwellian "emotional superstructures" about "banning books", 'safe inclusive' schools, and "Do you consider yourself to be on the right or far-right?" Did Kitching ask anyone he quoted if they are "left or far-left" for his story, so readers can get context on their bias? Listen to all the questions and the narrative behind them. 34.55- "Political suicide questions" to frame Saint-Cyr as a "child-hater" is how a listener described it, with the Free Press hoping no one reads what she wrote or the LRSD rulebook. That's because the issues she raised- including keeping "private and confidential" information from parents, biological males competing against girls, and allowing boys into girl's change-rooms - is LRSD policy. That's the "lived experience" of kids in their care. Are parents who have concerns "hateful"? Comments, news tips, Interac donations- martygoldlive@gmail.com 46:59 Part 3- To bolster their web of misinformation, the Free Press trotted out an Ontario 'hate expert'. They didn't say he's a self-described 'queer activist' who has an avowed hatred of Christians. 56.20 - Justin Trudeau gives the newspaper almost $1M a year, and in return opponents of "progressive" policies are keel-hauled by, as Orwell explained, "retailing these lies." We offer free advice for the new owners of the Winnipeg Sun on how to compete with the Free Press.

In Episode 46, you'll hear about the Louis Riel School Division By-Election to fill a Trustee seat in Ward 1 on June 6th. School board elections have long been used as a farm club for the Manitoba NDP- and with no spending or donation rules it's a wild-west environment for unions and other radical groups to seize a lever of political power. After the LRSD Board forced Francine Champagne to resign, 5 residents have ⁠filed nomination papers⁠. Unlike Winnipeg's MSM, we explain the far-left lens used to determine that she failed the ideological purity test demanded by the other trustees. As the Black Rod reported, LRSD has adopted the teachings of a Brazilian educator celebrated by Marxists. Paulo Friere's foundational belief was students must liberate themselves and become social justice warriors: “All education is political; teaching is never a neutral act”.   The disastrous effect on math education in Manitoba was explained in our last podcast. Check out the top episodes⁠⁠, make a donation towards our costs, and help our public affairs coverage Spring into Summer LRSD is at the forefront of indoctrinating employees and students with "Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Anti-Racism" mandates. After all, who's against anti-racism and inclusion? Parents represented by Francine Champagne believe that children should be allowed, for instance, to mature at their own pace and to grow up and form healthy adult relationships- and she said so. To 'Woke educators' this is hate speech. Now those parents and the rest of the electorate have to pick a replacement for Champagne. Marty briefly discusses 4 of those candidates- and then interviews the fifth. 20:11  Part 2- Sandra Saint-Cyr describes moving to Winnipeg as a teen and an education career that spanned the UK, Sweden, Norway and Manitoba- which included an FN-run school and then 3 schools within LRSD. Married to a retired policeman and mother to 4 children, she tells how "My focus has always been centralized on the learner and the family behind the learner." She states the Division has been excelling in literacy programming, going back to the basics after 'whole language' curriculum proved a failure. 29.00- Saint-Cyr believes "Parents make good parents but large, multilayered governmental organizations never make good parents.” At the door, voters tell her they "want to be informed and to have a voice,“ but aren't sure how. She notes the protocols for "LRSD Policy AC - Respect for Human Diversity," are not widely known about by teachers, let alone parents. That policy is cited to justify keeping parents in the dark about their kids experimenting with gender identity. "If we're withholding critical information about a child's development from the parent... we have systems and supports in place (like clinical support). Those systems work very well and at no point prior to this have I experienced when the parent wouldn't be fully informed." Comments, news tips, public speaking and hosting martygoldlive@gmail.com 38:22 Part 3- A Free Press report claimed “they are elected to represent the perspective of their constituents," but when Champagne did that, she was labeled a bigot who "fell out of line". Marty asks Saint-Cyr about the lack of ideological diversity on the LRSD Board. Citing a 2017 provincial rule, she says "our only option is to affirm" a student's gender spectrum self-ID. 50.00- "A teacher's being asked to diagnose and support a decision we have no expertise to do... It's critical that parents are part of every decision we make for students." But with numerous countries now backing off transitioning underage youth, "parental consent is at the heart of the issue. We need to involve the family." Saint-Cyr shares concerns of some parents about sexualized library content. "That is an area that needs attention and I believe change," which will depend on parents stepping forward at Board meetings to bring questions forward. ( For more info: vote4Sandra@gmail.com )

This week, in lieu of our regular weekly news roundup, we're sharing something special — a speech by Arkansas Times editor emeritus Max Brantley on the sorry state of politics and journalism in our state.Beginning in November 2023, the Arkansas Times started a luncheon speaker series that covers current events in Arkansas and serves as a fundraiser for our reporting efforts.

To open Episode 16, Marty tells where teenage him went for his first drive when he got a licence - then welcomes our new sponsor, Midpoint Auto+ ! Support TGCTS - if you're looking for a new or used vehicle- or a dirt bike, snowmobile, boat, etc. - use our Promo Code: TALK 6:35 We follow-up on the 'Moving on Marion' open house charade with even more details of what's already gone wrong. With the help of a comment from Kelly Ryback, we discuss a previous abandoned bike lane concept. Hear why the money spent on Coun. Matt Allard's Des Meurons bike lane dream set out a permanent red flag. Our proven results with the Assiniboine bike lane- forcing a City audit - and then saving Happyland Park help us to dig deeper into rigged "public consultations". 14:52 At least one business on Marion had no clue the City was asking the public to go along with taking away their adjacent street parking. Marty tells what the VP of Scotiabank said about the "bike lanes on Traverse?" surprise and how it's not clearly mentioned anywhere. We figure out how the city process is crafted to keep the bank in the dark until the last possible moment. Donate via Paypal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/MartyGoldMedia The open house flaws so far: No estimate of lost parking spots. No bike user data. No consultation with affected businesses. No explanation of a Traverse bike lane proposal. AND THEN, ADD THIS: The bike lobby is against it. They claim that Traverse isn't in the actual area AT plan but another street is, and complain that city staff kept the 2021 switch SECRET from the open house. (Yes, TGCTS and the bike lobby agree on something.) Does Janice Lukes and the rest of council think any 'revised' plan they get will be based on proper informed feedback from residents? The real story here is- the bike lobby knows things that stakeholders and the public are kept in the dark about. Time for a Driver's Advocate, maybe? 29:11 A French newspaper shed light on how Allard and radical-left urbanists sell the media on how wonderful this plan is. But- the story doesn't mention... the Traverse bike lane. Marty describes how the plan will snarl inbound AM traffic on Goulet and significantly affect the neighborhood near the hospital- and disrupt important public services. Ryback exposed fake news about bike lane use. We list some information council must now provide to St. B. City staff claim the Norwood Grove Biz supports the new plan? The Biz concept map had no mention of Traverse BUT had an important disclaimer that's being ignored by the City to ram this through. TGCTS Facebook group reaction adds context about lying bike lobbyists, and about rampant bike theft. 52:51 Part 2- Councilors were told to take a deal with Tartan Towing after taxpayers paid over $1M for 'fake tows' - Rollins flip flopped on her EPC vote to accept it, and refused to explain why. Spirited Kenny raises a small ruckus about accountability to voters - "something's up". The media barely explained the issues - we laud Lukes and Browaty for asking great questions. 1:05:01 Russ Wyatt tried to prevent council from settling a few Police Headquarters lawsuits. Aside from 'fiscal hawk' Allard, he had no support. Council deadlocked on his motion for an inquiry as Wyatt attacked the Tory gov't. 1:13:30 Part 3- First, a CWE round up - the Sandy Bay school anti-drug event we did last week; Marty hosts the Winnipeg card on Friday night, be there! 1:23:00 Crime Courts and Public Safety- Police chief Danny Smyth delivered a sharp-tongued teardown on Substack to an LRSD study by an "independent researcher" - a police abolitionist. The Free Press scurried to deliver a 'he's a racist' rebuttal. As we report, the newspaper didn't correct their fake news that indigenous students in the study opposed cops in schools. Hear why parents may want it. Also- a cabbie almost killed, already the perp's let out? Public speaking, Sponsorships, Advertising, or to book a wrestling event: martygoldlive@gmail.com
