He was formerly with Rebel News. Now he's an independent journalist and founder of Media Bersergan. I'm talking about Moka Bersergan. So buckle up, here we go. Welcome to Sean Newman podcast today.

I'm joined by Moka Bersergan. Sir, thanks for coming back on. Thank you very much for having me. And my apologies, I could enjoy. join you on location inside the studio. Well, I tell you what, at some point we're going to get there. Right now you're doing something more important. That's covering the Coots 4 case.

Why don't we, well, actually, for anyone who hasn't heard of Moka, go back to episode 572. That was January, the start of this year. You were on, and we had our first chat, and that would probably be a good starting point. But fast forward to today, I guess let's start. with the Coots 4, what you're seeing down at the courthouse, and just bring people up to speed, Mocha. Well, basically, now the newest thing is that the large courtroom where the hearings are taking place has been renovated.

There are now large TV screens, HD cameras that record from every angle. but what's most concerning for the advocates of the two detainees is the two accused is that the cabin, the newly constructed cabin, it has a metal board where they have to sit and that they are very uncomfortable sitting there given that they have been in remand for more than 26 months throughout their pretrial hearings. Now, next week is going to, the trial is going to start,

and the concern is that the trial that is expected to last more than a month and a half, they're going to have to sit on that bench with having shackles on their feet. So there are other concerns that are compounding the negative health and mental and physical effects on the accused. As you know, four men were arrested in February two years ago at the Coots blockade where they were protesting against the COVID mandates. And some media turned the other way around, accusing them just saying, well, they're guilty as charged, basically. Why would you have weapons here? And, you know, maybe you were conspiring to murder RCMP officers.

But I covered this story with adherence to the principles of innocent until proven guilty. And what turns out to be now, when we look back at a few months ago where two of the men were released in a plea deal where they pled guilty to lesser charges, and they saw the charge of conspiracy to kill our CMP officers dropped. So that brings into question whether or not the RCMP or the crown have a powerful case against the men regarding this serious accusation, this charge. So that's what I'm covering here today. It's the last week of the pretrial hearing. Next week starts the trial. And I think that's when a lot of attention is going to be forthcoming.

because the publication ban is going to be partially lifted. So a lot of information is about to come out by next week. So that's exciting. When you're talking to publication ban, that means that roughly you can't say a whole lot about what you're seeing in the courtroom, essentially. That's right. If we take a step outside the courtroom, Mocha,

and you just, you know, you look at the last couple of years of, you know, covering this story. One of the things that stood out to, I think a lot of people, is you've been one of the very few

to go there and actually cover this story, which has seemed kind of bizarre. Have you seen any, you know, uptick in anyone coming down there to, you know, shed a light on it, to, you know, turn a camera on? Yeah, there has been some uptick. and I believe that that uptick will continue enormously with the publication ban partially being lifted next week.

But yeah, I remember just driving down here most of the time being the only accredited journalist inside the courtroom. And there are other independent journalists there, but they are not accredited, so they're not allowed to bring their phones inside. you know, you have to sign an undertaking and there's a review process, not much transparent really, but if you get accredited, then you could go in, bring your phone, you could take notes,

you could tweet, but in the undertaking, you say, I'm not going to breach the publication ban and I'm going to abide by the rules. I think the lack of media, I think there are two reasons. One, some media assumed that they were guilty as charged. Second, rest of the media, I think they are not showing up because there's not much they can talk about or publish because of the publication ban. But I think there is good reason to show up and at least interview people and get their perception and their opinions. You know, what little you can publish, you should publish. because it's an important story. Some question for Imoka.

Next week, when the publication ban comes off, in your head are you like, oh man, I can't wait because there's a ton of stuff that needs to get talked about? Oh, yeah, absolutely. And there are a ton of people who's ready to talk about it. Now, the publication ban will be, I use the word partially lifted because in part, the publication ban

is going to be an effect when the jury is outside, not in the courtroom, when something is discussed where the jury is not present. So the jury, yeah, there are still talks going on about the jury, and once they are fully selected and, you know, we'll see how it goes. But throughout the trial that I've been covering this for almost a year now, I can tell you a lot of interesting things are going to come out. I think the public is going to be excited about it to see what has been taking place

that we have not been able to talk about for a very long time. Well, knowing we can't talk about a whole bunch, then what I'm going to try and do is I'm going to try and twist your arm to come back on again next week so that we can hear a bit more about the trial as a whole. Going to what you talked about right off the hop with people being concerned about you know, being in shackles all the time, being on this metal bench all the time. You know, in your talks with some of the advocates, is there, you know, is there anything, you know, that people can do to change that?

Like I hear that and I go, okay, that sucks. Now I go, but on this side, is there anything that can actually be done in order to change, you know, their setting in there, I guess? Yes, but I think the change will. would be required to apply to all other accused or to all other jailed individuals. And this is one of the things that the advocates have realized and they have been telling me about is how difficult for inmates

to even receive formulary drugs, drugs that are approved by the Alberta Health, by the AHS, where inmates could take there have been troubles for one of the inmates Antonio Olunich receiving this this receiving magnesium straight a necessary drug for his health complications and I did an interview with him last like last August and so they they have become aware that it's not just the two men but it's it's a lot more than that it's all the people who are behind bars you know there are people behind bars who are accused who are not guilty of

anything but they are being held in pretrial custody so you know you also have murderers and rapists and all sorts of people in jail but I think if an exception is going to be applied to the two then it needs to be applied to everyone what could people do well they could just be aware and they could just raise, you know, they could raise their voice. I think, for example, the last couple of months ago when the two other men were released, that happened the week after a large conway took place and Tucker Carlson was in town and there was international attention on the Kutz IV. So I think public attention and public pressure

plays a role in how things are done. people there to cover it so the public can know what the heck is going on. You know, just some details. I want to make sure that people know when the trial starts and all that good stuff. Can you just give me the quick details for the people who are wondering when the trial starts, how long it's supposed to go again? I know you kind of briefly said it off the hop and then I plan to take you away from the publication ban so we can hopefully have you speak a little bit more openly. When does the trial start? How long does it go for? Is it a Is there ways people can just follow along, I assume with you, but is there other ways they can, you know, participate or watch or be involved?

On June 4th, it is set to begin and it is expected to last one and a half months. And as far as I know, it's going to be a continuous run every day. People who want to watch, they could come to the courthouse in Lethbridge and particularly, as a member of the public to watch the hearings. It's a large courtroom. It could hold about maybe 60 people. But from my experience here, sometimes that's not enough. Sometimes dozens of people are left outside.

Another way to follow would be to follow it on Twitter where I would be live tweeting or from other journalists who I would assume also be live tweeting. So far, this is all I know. I don't think there will be a Zoom link to view the hearings. Maybe there will be. I will check on that. One thing I want to mention is that I have permission from the courts to take picture of the new cabin where the accused have to sit inside that newly renovated courtroom.

but today I have received word that my request has been denied at this time. So that's unfortunate. Well, I don't know. That seems like par for the course on this side. Switching gears here a little bit. You know, you've been, I don't know, I think dropping some bombshells when it comes to stories, the Regina Bypass, the Gordy Howe Bridge. And it all, you know, I don't know, do all Rhodesley, lead?

back to Amarjid Sohi, the Eminton mayor. I thought, you know, like, if people haven't watched those, I would, I would suggest they do. They can find it on Twitter or go to Mediabesergan.com and everything. Sorry. Sorry to Katia. Yeah. Or they could go to Regina scandal.com or if they want to watch the international scandal, they could go to gorty housecandal.com.

And if they want to know about the recent scandal, they could go to Edmontonscandal.com. Well, you've been doing some, well, I don't know, interesting work. I'm like, oh man, this is like you sit down and you watch it. There's a lot there. And it's, you know, a current city mayor here in Alberta. If you were trying to bring people up to speed, obviously go and watch Moka's work would be the number one way.

But walk us through this because you've been heavily involved in interviewing and digging into the details of all these different scandals and how they tie back to him. Maybe walk us through some of it so people who are uninitiated can kind of get a feel for what you're talking about and what you've been unearthing. Yeah, I'll talk briefly about it, but I also have a surprising news. I will let you know at the end. I'm sure everyone will be excited about it. Basically, I've been covering Amarjit Soi. He is currently the mayor of the mayor. of Edmonton. Before that he was the Natural Resources

Minister and before that he was the infrastructure minister and before that he served as a counselor at Edmonton Milwoods for about three terms and before that he lost his the first time he tried to get into politics

in 2004 by becoming a counselor he lost the election but then he became served three terms as a counselor But basically the issue with Mr. Sohi is that his education is limited to high school. And in the past, he was jailed for being a calisthani terrorist. And, you know, this happened in India before he was a Canadian citizen. And he claims that he was a political prisoner.

There were some serious accusations against them and some serious charges. when he was he was basically brought to Canada by the help of ceases, then Prime Minister Brian Moroni, and a local member of parliament, David Kilghar, with the lobbying by his older brother, Jack Dave Sohi, who is now deceased. And the scandal that's revolving Mr. Sohi is that, his brother, Harkesh Sohi, owns shares in a trucking company called White Rock Ventures,

and he owns shares through a numbered company that owns shares. You know, not like, okay, let me explain it like this. The White Rock Ventures, a numbered company owns shares in White Rock Ventures, and another numbered company owns shares in that numbered company, and then Harkeesh Soi owns all of the shares in that company. So the contract that White Rock ventures, which Emergid so he did not disclose as a mayor and as a infrastructure minister, as a natural resource, and right now I'm waiting to receive his counselor disclosures. There has been a delay in my FOIP request. Once I have those, I'm going to publish my report, but we'll see if he disclosed it.

I don't think so, because if he did, why did he not disclose in his report? recent disclosures. White Rock Ventures, he should have disclosed that because his brother makes money out of that. Whenever City of Edmonton, City of Edmonton gave millions upwards of millions of dollars in contracts to White Rock Ventures. This is well documented. The Regina Bypass Project, White Rock Ventures was given the work to haul at times with 60 trucks.

That's a lot of money. And this was a project that had federal funds while Emerjit Sohi was the infrastructure minister. And so there are a lot of, appears to be conflict of interest here. And him not disclosing this company that his brother makes money off of is a serious concern. Now, I'm excited to announce that I have a new report coming out. that I believe will be more of a bombshell than all the three reports I have so far published combined. In my next report, I have been studying it for more than two months of a group of numbered companies, about 100 of them, and all these numbered companies connect with each other in a way,

just like how White Rock Ventures connects to a numbered company, connects a number company, and then connects to Harkesh Soi. So that's exciting. I'm working on a diagram to easily visually represent the whole scale of what's going on to you, to the viewer.

Basically, I'm reading all these documents, fact-checking, understanding, analyzing, getting some additional documents, pulling out some articles of incorporation, et cetera, and putting together this big diagram where I believe once it's released is going to be a bum shell. But one thing to mention is that I have to be maintaining independent, editorial independence,

so that I don't publish wrong information. These allegations, the evidence against Mr. Soey are of serious nature and I have to treat them with that seriousness so I'm not going to get into details on that diagram now because it needs to be carefully worded I don't want to say anything anything injurious to mr. Sohe or his family but once the story is released it will be up to the public to decide what's going on but I have talked to some legal experts like in dr. Gary Bodding, and he has complimented the research skills of Bob Ray, the person who is bringing me the evidence.

And I have asked Mr. Bodding, if a Canadian politician, by the way, Dr. Bodding is an expert on extradition law. So the question was, if a Canadian politician is found to be committing fraud or corruption that affected the United States of America, I'm talking about the Gordi Hav International Bridge Project, would the United States have grounds to demand his or her extradition? And the answer is yes. And I would encourage people to watch that report and that interview with the legend, Dr. Gary Bodding, at gordyhowscandal.com.

So I'm excited that I'm going to be dropping a very, very important report. soon on about Mr. Sohey and his family and White Rock Ventures. So if people want to catch up with exactly what's going on, I would recommend them watching in the order of raginascandal.com, gordiaffscandal.com, and then Edmonton scandal.com. What's the feed like Benback for you since you've started this process, you know, down this road? You're exposing. things that don't add up about someone in a position of power?

Well, it's not very surprising for me to be corruption among politicians and their families. For example, Navdi Payne, who was the Minister of Innovations at the time, his ministry gave a sole source contract to White Rock Ventures that was worth upwards of $20,000. You can't just give Full Source contracts at that amount to a fellow minister's undisclosed company, a fellow

minister's brothers on disclosed company. So, yeah, the process has been I think, okay, let me put it this way. I think things happen to you for a reason. You have to be at the right place, at the right time, or doing the right thing.

And when I started doing my independent journalism, when I established Media Bezergaam last year. My idea was to bring information that was being censored by the gatekeepers, by mainstream media, or by other politically motivated media, where they couldn't publish stories because it would be damaging to their or perceived to be damaging to their favorite candidate. They didn't want certain stories to become public discourse. So with this vision to bypass that, to become, to establish a publishing house, let's say, I went full in.

I spent my last dime on this vision, everything I had, every ounce of my energy, every day, covering all sorts of stories and using Twitter. And when I was doing it, when I first began, it was not getting much attention. but I knew this was okay. By time, it would get attention. By time, things will be okay. I will, you know, start running a successful business as opposed to one that is not successful. And that's what happened. Things became very well.

I didn't know if I would be staying in this industry or leaving. But now I know I'm here to stay. I'm not going anywhere. And stories are keep coming. to me. People keep coming to me saying, hey, can you please look at my evidence? I have this on this politician. I have this story. This is what I have been through with RCMP. This is what I've been through them. So I listen to these. I judge. And then if it is something that I can publish, I publish. One thing that I come across regularly is that people who are trying to expose

perceived corruption are people who have been to a mental institution. Most of the time, for no good reason, they were not mentally unstable, they were not mentally ill, but it seems like there are institutions like RCMP that puts people in these mental institutions where they are heavily drugged

and then to delegitimize them and delegitimize their claims. So this is very concerning to me. And this is a serious accusation against RCMP. But I did my research and I did interview people. So this is a concern. But there are sometimes people who are, you know, mentally not stable. Then I have to make a call whether or not their claims are legitimate, et cetera.

You know. Yeah, you have to be. Yeah, I have to be very perceptive or diligent in making sure that the people that you let, you know, that you let your stories come through on are the right ones. And they're factually correct. Right. It is interesting to me. You know, we saw this with, I want to say, now, am I right on this, folks? Was it Artur Poloski was one of them? And I think there was another. And they talked about how they got put in, um, well, Institute, right? Basically. And what does that do? Well, I mean, most people think you put the

crazy people in there. And so when you talk about de-legitimizing people, I think that's a real concern to anyone who is going to be a whistleblower, especially against the people who, you know, kind of hold the keys of power here in society. The fact you've picked up on that trend is, I guess, sorry. You gave an, you gave an excellent example. what Dr. Pavlovsky been through, I think that's an excellent example. Why would they take him to a mental institution? Why would they put them there?

He's not crazy. Well, you try and put people away into places where you can't, you know, like Arta Polowski is hard to control, right? Like, I mean, I think he's the definition of that. And one of the places you can put people like that is in a mental ward. I'm laughing because I'm what I'm saying aloud. folks, not at the actual act of putting somebody in a mental ward.

And what does that do to the general population? Well, they can show that he's been to a mental war. It's, you know, when you go back to Amarjit Sohi, one of the things that, you know, when you do a little, just a little bit of reading on him, folks, is you realize he was branded a terrorist in India and put in jail. Now, my only thing, I'm curious, Moka, your research on that, because, like, to me, like, one of the things here in Canada is we're seeing what they're doing to our own citizens.

I have no idea about India and in that background. And if you do, I would love to hear a little bit about it just because I don't understand it fully. So basically, are you asking a question about Soie's past? Yes, yes, sorry, yeah. So Mr. Soi, yeah, I read the charges that he was facing in India. and he was jailed more than a year in Punjab, India, and when he was at a very young age, he came back, he came from Canada to Punjab, India

when he was not a Canadian citizen. So he was in Canada, he just went back to India for the purposes of educating the farmers there. That's one of the claims. But he was accused of being a Canadian terrorist who came to train the villagers, the farmers, in methods of mass murder. Now, that's a serious allegation. Mr. Soey says he was a political prisoner.

None of this is true. They've jailed him over, you know, made up charges. But we don't have the court documents where, you know, charges are dropped. What we have is that ceases Brian Moroni, David Kilgore, powerful people in the government have helped him get out of the jail by applying pressure to India at that time, a poor country, and getting him back to Canada. He worked as a bus driver. His education is limited to high school.

Why would this individual be a minister in Canada? Today's minister of infrastructure has multiple university degrees, has an experience in some formal job. Like, it just doesn't make sense. Well, here's what. what's happening? An organization called the World Sikh Organization that basically endorsed Stohe, Navdi Pains,

and other the Canadians who became cabinet ministers. Well, there is a connection there. The president of World Sikh organization at that time, sorry, the former president, Prem winning. is also regarded as a liberal power broker. And his sons, one of his son worked underneath Amarjit Soi when he was the infrastructure minister,

and his other son worked under Harjid Sajent at the time, the Ministry of Defense. So there are a lot of question marks here. What's going on? What is this organization's involvement? Why are Amarjid and Harjid Haarjid? hiring the brothers from the same men who is regarded as a liberal power broker. Some people call this nepotism, and this is a concern.

Is it really an accident? Is it really a coincidence that same brothers got hired by two ministers? No, I don't think so. And there is every reason. So I would encourage people to watch my reports where I get into details about this. and I want everyone to know that my reports are accurate. My reports are, I craft them carefully to ensure that I'm being fair, that I'm not defaming anyone, that I'm not allowing any claims that are not with intolerance.

So I encourage people to watch because as we speak earlier about, you know, we have to be careful who we interview. Like, we don't, we, like, I don't just publish unfounded allegations. I don't just interview people who are just loud. I interview legitimate people with legitimate claims, allegations, backed by voluminous evidence. You can't, in Canada, you can't just go out there and accuse someone of something if you don't have the evidence for it. they will sue you forever for defamation. So this is something that I'm actively careful about,

and I want people to watch my reports knowing that it was crafted. You know, I'll give you one example. For example, when I published my report, showing that Emergis Soi's brother, Harkesh Soi, was benefiting financially from the contracts given to White Rock Ventures by the government, Some people said, well, we looked up White Rock Ventures. Mr. Harkash is only a director. He only works there.

He doesn't get any financial benefit. This is defamation. He should sue you, et cetera, et cetera. What they did not know is that I know that I didn't publish yet, that there is a numbered company that holds shares in White Rock Ventures, 100% shares. And then there's another company that holds a percentage of shares, in that numbered company that holds shares in white rag ventures. And then there's Harkesh Soi holding 100% of that share in that numbered company

that holds some shares in that numbered company, which holds all of the shares in white rag ventures. So now I'm going to publish that. But everything I publish is carefully reviewed and carefully considered, not just legally, but also from a standpoint of fairness. And it is not fair to turn a blind eye, to corrupt politicians, even if that's going to cause some political unrest for other politicians from other parties. For example, there are demands on Daniel Smith, the Premier, to do something about this so-called rogue mayor of Edmonton.

He raised the taxes. Just a month ago, he raised property taxes. Many of his high ranking city of Edmonton Management personnel quit within a year. These are some of the concerns. Now they're talking about a bill called Bill 20. Would that be sufficient to address this concern? I don't know. But that is something that I'm going to be looking into and a future report will be forecoming. Have anybody from the Alberta government or the Saskatchewan government, for that matter, reached out to you?

Well, from Saskatchewan government, yes. But it wasn't a well-intended reach. It was more so of a reach of intimidation. What do you mean, Mokka? Oh, I received a... I don't remember the exact... wording but a legal threat by the Saskatchewan government Crown Corporation where they basically said that I need to cease and desist apologize yeah and for bringing damage to the reputation of the Saskatchewan government

this is a legal matter this happened back in late February and nothing has nothing has happened you know, everything I publish is accurate. I'm fully behind my reports. Anyone who's interested can go and watch Reginascandal.com and see it for their own eyes. But this was just a cheap intimidation tactic, and it didn't work. And if anyone wants to,

if anyone wants to mess around, they will find out. But nobody from the UCP government, Daniel Smith onwards, has been in touch. to just say hey like maybe you could show us a few of this stuff maybe we you know maybe we could talk to Bob Ray maybe you know because like I mean they're a mayor you know I guess where I sit you know and I'm I'm I'm not the one looking at all the documents I'm watching your report and then I'm analyzing it compared to other

interviews I've done and I put up you know the fact that you got uh what looks to be a smoking gun uh sitting in Emmington and then you go okay Okay, well, you go Bill 20, okay, but then I just had Shane Getson on saying, yeah, but we had the ability to take people out of being mayor or in the city councilor before. We're not actually updating that point. And then you tack on Chestermere's Mayor Jeff Colvin, and you go, okay, so they'll take out Jeff Colvin because he was doing things wrong. And I assume there's some legalities there that they're going around,

as I'm sure this is how this all works. And yet it feels like, okay, if you're going to take Jeff Kovina out, and it's all about corruption. It's all about all the bad. You got this sitting there right in front of them and nobody's reached out. Isn't that a little bit? I don't know. Yes.

Nobody has reached out from the Alberta government, but they don't have to reach out. They could just, I published the reports. I published the papers. They're there. And with my new report, I'll publish all the papers, all the paperwork. that's about the numbered companies for anyone to see. And if they want to have a physical copy of these companies, the numbered companies, White Rock Ventures,

they could just go to a registry in Alberta, and they could just pay $20 for a corporate search and get the papers, and they could see it for themselves with their own eyes. So, you know, if they don't trust us as a source, they could just go to the registry and look it for themselves. But I think one of the reasons, now I believe public pressure and public opinion plays a role in when it comes to going against the mayor, whether let's say you're a premier or a prime minister or a higher authority. You know, the city of Edmonton, the city of Calgary, it's, these are liberal cities. And will they allow their mayor to be taken out?

even if there is voluminous evidence of questionable behavior and corruption, we will have to see. But, you know, it's just concerning that so far there has been no action, not on the part of the politicians, but on the part of the RCMP. What are they doing? Are they only interested in stopping speeding drivers? Are they not interested in looking into corruption matters? And, you know, I've been publishing these reports since the beginning of the year. And public is paying attention. Millions of views.

My videos get million. The three videos I published got 2 million plus views. I'm not even counting the clips. When you put them all together, it probably got more than 5 million views. And wherever I go, people recognize me and they ask me, they say, we saw your video, great job, that's crazy. Why is nothing happening on this? Well, I think we just have to wait and see.

It takes time. My interview with Dr. Gary Bodding, who's a PhD, he has a PhD in law and in English. He said that often the government is blind in the wrong kinds of way, and it takes time for them to catch up. From my understanding that a public inquiry, at least a public inquiry, is required. Do you think it has anything to do with his background? And what I'm pointing out to Mocha is, you know, if you're a certain ethnicity or your

certain belief system or you're a man compared to a woman, you just, it's not supposed to be this way, but it just is. Do you think his background plays into the fact that nobody's really interested in getting their hands on this one? I believe so, yes. I believe so because there's a large majority of Sikh Canadian population in Edmonton and in Calgary. So, you know, a few weeks ago I was at a so-called religious event. called Nagar Kirtin, and the Calgary mayor, Jody Gondek, participated in this event, where tens of thousands of C-Canadians came together to celebrate,

but there was a group of people in considerable amounts that were not so religious, but more so political, with Kallistan flags, having the Indian Prime Minister in a rope, in a jail suit and they had the pictures of terrorists in that parade where the RCMP Canadian Armed Forces

Alberta sheriffs participated. They marched in the same parade where terrorists the most well known being Talvinders Singh Parmar the self-proclaimed mastermind of Air India bombing a terrorist act committed

on Canadian soil, from Canadian soil, it's concerning when you see mayors engaging, police institutions engaging in events where terrorists are being glorified. And then the question is, why are they participating? Well, maybe they need their votes. So is the sea community being treated as a vote bank? It seems to be so.

How long are they going to allow themselves to be taking advantage in this way? Only time will tell. Only time. Sorry, only time will tell. But it's a concern and we'll have to wait and see. Well, it's a sad thing about politics. It looks at all of us like voting banks, right? Like, oh, there's this group.

There's that group. They're constantly trying to put you in a group. Right. It's just interesting to me, you know, when it comes to Chestermear in particular, Geez, obviously Jeff Colvin sitting across from me at one point really left an impression because, you know, like, could he be corrupt? Oh, certainly could. I, you know. But you listen to his story and you realize they didn't go past his, his, they didn't inspect anything past his reign or his, his sitting on city council as mayor.

And the problem stemmed a lot earlier than him from all accounts. everything I've heard from the audience, everything I've heard from things surrounding that as it went back further. And now you're pointing out that, well, there's a lot of conflict of interest here. And there ain't just a little bit of smoke, but you got a small little fire, maybe a giant fire going. And there's nothing happening. And I'm like, that seems kind of odd. It just seems kind of odd, Moka, that's all. And I guess I appreciate you for digging into it and exposing it and continuing to dig on it because I think that's what good journalism is.

I don't know. At least that's what I believe it to be. Thank you. Before I let you out of here to get back to covering the Coots, Coots 2, Coots 4, is there anything else you want people to know, where to find you, anything like that just so that. if people are wanting to get a hold of you or wanting to support you, wanting to find your stuff, or if there's something we've glazed over and I've forgotten to ask, by all means, please, with a few minutes left, you got the floor. Well, first of all, I want to express my sincere gratitude to you for being so honest and so

for coming with your thoughts. And I appreciate that very much. I think that's a rare quality in the media industry at least. So I appreciate that. And you're right. There is a big fire going on in Edmonton, and I hope it is addressed appropriately. And I encourage people to watch my reports. My reports are accurate.

They are based on well-founded, well-grounded evidence. And I encourage people to support my work at Media Bezergiant. dot com slash donate that's the only way that i am able to keep this operation going you mean you're not funded by the government mocha i am not funded by the government that's right and that's another thing where where is the other media where is mainstream media they should be jumping on this story it's a major story but they're silent on it it's it's crazy well every every time we think mainstream should jump on something there are pointed in the other direction so i do It doesn't, that doesn't surprise me one, one bit.

It does surprise me that there hasn't been any contact from, uh, the government on it. Honestly, uh, because Emmington is a problem for the UCP. They didn't win any, you know, if you just look at a provincial map, it's not like they're winning that city by any stretch. So this is, uh, battleground zero if you want in, uh, in how you, um, that in Calgary on how, how you become, you know, the UCP government here in a couple more years. And if there's corruption to be. had there, which it certainly looks like it is, I'm surprised that there isn't more talk

around it of like, listen, this needs to be exposed. I honestly don't know the inner workings of all of this. I just look at it and I go, it's not like it's in the heartland. It's not like it's, I don't know, corruption of, I don't know, Daniel Smith or something, you know, like, no, I would put the blame on the advisors. Every politician has an advisor and, you know, This alleviates the responsibility or the anxiety of saying or doing or going somewhere that will cause significant negative damage to the politician's reputation or the chances of getting reelected. And so the advisors to Daniel Smith, they need to reconsider, they need to look into this and they need to give better advice. or the premier needs to be more picky the advice that she's getting from them. But that's up to them.

Whether they do something or not, the public is seeing it and the public is watching it. And the public will decide. Well, I appreciate you giving me some time today. All the best as you continue to travel the country and report on different things. next time we will try and make sure you're in the studio. It would be lovely to sit across from you and do it that way. I've had you sitting down. I've had you standing up now.

Hopefully the next time it's sitting across. Either way, keep up the great work, Moka, and look forward to seeing your upcoming reports. Thank you very much. You have a wonderful day. Thank you for having me.
