Thank you for this session which is so needed. I agree with Velshi on the differences between Canada and the US. As an immigrant from the US to Canada I find myself enjoying Canadian politics because I am not frightened by politics. What a thought! I continue put my efforts toward peace in the world. Keep up the good work Ali!
Tell that to Pollievre, who has constant campaigning by the alt. right, whether it's "parents' rights" marches stirring up false moral panics, "truckers' stirring up hatred against Trudeau, or the online anti-Trudeau hatemongers droning continuously to influence people with disinformation. Foreign money is helping Pollievre while he's falsely accusing Trudeau of foreign influence. Canada's corporate media is dutifully and shamelessly pushing Pollievre as well. Canadians can kiss their health crae goodbye if he is elected.
Love Ali's perspective and his professionalism, a quality that goes unrecognised by those who assume that everyone has a "hidden agenda". Professionalism means being aware of one's own biases and holding them in abeyance whilst gathering information on an emerging event. Professionalism means not engaging in false analogies, not using prejudicial language or images to "slant" a report or influence audience perception. Professionalism means keeping one's personal life out of the public eye. Professionalism means admitting when you are wrong about something and correcting it in public asap. Professionalism is above all about accuracy and context, the two qualities that separate NEWS from PROPAGANDA. Ali Velshi possesses the qualities of professionalism in abundance. He is an asset to any organisation.
This was really great, thanks for this. I really wish there was more cross-country dialogue like this, like commentary by Americans speaking to us about their own country and Canada and vise versa. It's really valuable to be able to compare with each other and get out of our own bubbles.
always wondered why I like Ali? Now I know. Growing up in Buffalo, I learned that Canada usually does it right. With better results in the long run. All of us in the US would be better off and happier if we just surrendered to Canada. We could be proud again, for real reasons.
I agree with you. My first real exposure to CBC News was through its newscasts via what, at the time, was Newsworld International, which was operated and partly owned by CBC. Thanks to having this vital service available on DirecTV, I had the opportunity to watch Peter Mansbridge on "The National". I found that CBC's coverage of what was happening here in the United States, particularly in official Washington, was far more accurate than what I was hearing on even the Stateside networks. This became all the more apparent in the wake of the events of September 11, 2001. For example, on a particular Sunday afternoon that October, I was watching the broadcast of a group discussion CBC held with citizens of a town which straddles the Quebec-New Hampshire border concerning the aftermath of those events and how the townspeople thought the United States should respond and conduct any actions in Afghanistan. During that discussion, CBC News interrupted to cover the address by George W. Bush announcing the invasion of Afghanistan. The timing of the broadcast of the discussion was impeccable. Regrettably, to date, I've never been able to watch the remainder of that important program. But, it was educational to hear the varied perspectives of people in this town which straddles the border. Even now, I have the CBC Radio application on my telephone so that I can listen to the news. Thank you for conducting this interview with an honest reporter with integrity in the person of Ali Velshi. Thank you also for posting this interview to RUclips. And, may I thank the people of Canada for sharing Velshi with us. His desire to report the facts and willingness to learn remind me a great deal of another Canadian reporter (himself a veteran of CBC), Peter Jennings of late memory. One thing for which I am sincerely grateful to Velshi is his taking the time and putting forth the effort to read the initial indictment against Donald John Trump. This is an essential aspect of reporting the facts. Granted, it is available for people to read and examine for themselves. And they absolutely should do so. However, for a reporter to actually do his job and read it into the public airwaves in the interests of reporting the facts is indeed a rare thing in the United States nowadays.
Or Democracy vs Maga/fascist dictatorship? The media plays a big role in promoting either outcome. Democracy depends on truth and an informed electorate. Fascism relies on apathy, lies, propaganda, hate, division and turning people against one another (as per Foxy 'news').
Taco: you also have to be willing to do research, instead of relying on what Facebook or NewsMax feeds you. We stay in our own bubble of news and don't reach out and find out else is out there.
@@kaycee557 I was not criticizing taco I was merely stating what people have to do to inform themselves. I'm sorry you take the "YOU" so literally. I should have written "one" instead to make you happy. And yes I know this was a Canadian Broadcast.
I became a fan of MSNBC in Nov. 2015 when I came across a live feed on-line. It was the Rachel Maddow show. Then, I realized Ali Velshi was also a host. Still a big fan of both the channel and especially these two. And Canada really needs to heed his warning about disinformation.
Love Ali, voice of reason! The problem I see with the US is that every aspect of their lives is politically influenced. Their cities are party driven, their courts are party driven, they eat, sleep and breathe politics. The media is either right or left and it shouldn’t be,news is about facts and truth. There should be equal opportunity for facts and reality, not to be picked and choose what part you want. The truth should be the same right across the board and then you can trust. But as a consumer I don’t do Twitter,Facebook or anything else other than choosing a selected reliable RUclips videos that I feel is trusted. Thank you Ali for your true honesty.🇨🇦
It’s like political affiliation is like religion, part of the identity of the individuals there. And it can drive a strong opinion about various things, right or wrong. We all do need to step back from any story and see if it’s true, if it is complete, and then decide. Leave the emotion out of it.
@@karphin1 It is like people choose an identity and must align everything to their identity. Why else would tax cuts and less government regulation be lumped together with abortions, book banning, and evangelical christianity. You can attack someones politics, but when you attack their identity, it takes on a different dimension.
In the USA political system as it stands, they can't come to an agreement and close an issue, the same issues get kicked around, fester and come back. So much that all the bandwidth in their political discourse is occupied by "forever issues", they have no time to move forward.
Ali Velshi is one of my favorite people! I lived in Toronto for years and came back to the states for family. I still miss Canada. MSNBC is lucky to have Ali. I watch his show every weekend.
As someone from the west, I assure you that I despise Tucker Carlson and his lies. I despise the whole "Trump lite" thing that conservative politics are becoming. And though I was a life time conservative voter, and I think Trud is a screw up, I'm still considering voting liberal in the next federal election. Don't paint the whole of the West with a single brush. That breeds divisiveness and bigotry, and we can see what that is doing to our neighbours to the south.
To much influence coming from the US in my opinion as the saying goes “when the US sneezes Canada gets a cold”. I used to think Canadians were smarter and more sophisticated but from what I’m seeing now I totally believe the quote especially with the conservatives adopting some republican policies and talking points regarding LGBTQ community.
News is a business especially in the USA, profits are very important, most people want to be entertained not informed just look at the PBS news hour viewership compared to fox. Fox is an emotional experience PBS is factual but most people don’t have the interest or attention span for the news hour.
I love Ali and know him now because of his work on MSNBC. He is among the best ‘real’ journalists in US news today, and a source of pride for Canadians.
Velshi made the point that it is not worrisome when media source has a declared bias (each one does), so long as they deal in facts and reasoned opinions, not disinformation and emotion. By its nature, with the task of presenting a great range of voices across Canada, most of them minority voices, the CBC cannot avoid a centre-left bias. In the universe of Canadian media, all of which is owned by a handful of corporations, and all of which tends right of centre, CBC & RC are needed for balance to a healthy media system.
Absolutely and well said. Also, CBC Radio 1 is one of the best radio stations for intelligent discussion regarding world issues. I'm not sure why it's not more publicized and lauded.
@@lingyjennifer8399CBC Radio is a joke, they bring a leftist professor on to debate any issue, agaist who? No one. Only one opinion and the host agrees with it. If any of these professors say anything non extreme left they are dismissed from their jobs. It IS worriesome when state media becomes 'current party in charge' media. The job of the press is to REPORT not give you what they think should be your opinion.
Great and if it really is as magical as you say it is, it can support itself on the free market. You and your ilk can finally put your money where your mouths are and support it yourselves. Radio Canada can follow TV Ontario's model in Quebec. If the new mainstream of Canadian views and voices aren't represented on the CBC, the way at least is being attempted on the BBC, then why should all Canadians have to foot the bill? PBS does extremely well. If the quality is there, the content will succeed.
Funding for public broadcasting has been decimated in the USA over the past 40 years or so especially the last 20, both radio and television and public discourse has dropped dramatically right in line with it. If you want a small group of billionaire oligarchs running your information systems then all you have to do is stop public funding of media services and I guarantee you the oligarchs will have their way with you and your country. Just my opinion.
So happy to have seen this as it solidifies for me what I have felt US media, generally, was up to. It was time for different media to develop like 'TYT' or 'Rebel HQ' or 'BTC' or 'Meidas Touch', etc. ....like Ali Velshi, they prioritize TRUTH in their reporting so many in the public go out of their way to find them!
Appreciate this more indepth interview with Ali. I watch Ali's show on MSNBC & have a lot of respect for the fact-based, ethical & passionate coverage he brings to his viewers.
I could never -- never live in the US. Some critics waffle on the subject in weird ways. Like, "Yeah, okay, there's a lot more crime, a lot more polarization, a lot more hysteria, and so on, but we can manage to get by, if we pretend it's normal." As Canadians, we get a regular dose of Americana. Enough to deaden some of our senses against the shock of a sudden full dose. If anyone went from a state of utter innocence about the nature of the US, to a total realization about it, they'd be horrified. But most Canadians know something, just enough to create a buffer zone around us, allowing us to say things like this guy: "Oh, it's an adventure!" No , it's a nightmare!
I hate to be a cynic but the effort Ali recommends the average person make to research and educate themselves instead of taking someone else's word about the "facts" is either effort they can't be bothered making or aren't intellectually equipped to do.
I think if kids/people were taught about research methods, peer review and meta analysis, it could go a long way. Most policy comes down to science, yet no one is able to read the research/distinguish reliable studies, so they rely on someone else to give them information. But in order for that to matter, the right would have to start recognizing that science exists and use it to develop policy.
@@crystalw8050 Well said. I didn't go to high school per se, but a collegiate institute. The difference was that the latter didn't offer general courses, but advanced courses intended only for those who would be applying to universities. I remember in media studies on the first day being instructed by the teacher to being in the three most popular newspapers the next day. We were then required to write a paper on the differences, and the bias each one had. I've never looked at information sources the same way since, and I spend a great deal of time researching these days. It wasn't a difficult lesson, but I don't think kids are taught these lessons these days, and they should.
For that same reason, I wish I could afford a passport. But, after rent, groceries and other daily expenses, who really has an extra $150 laying around?
@@weirdthingstoeat7198Because people share information with each other. Because an informed populace is dangerous to those trying to control the narrative.
I don't know how many people watch local US news but the difference is both startling and somewhat bizarre. Everything is "oh oh no, look!" Hyperbolic. The various media here, newspaper, television and Internet are far better at presenting the news without the hyperbolic, over the top emotional drift. Yes, there a drift towards nationalism, which Ali is right to warn about, but it can be dealt with IF we learn what NOT to do.
So Right Mr.Velshi. I use Wiki, and PBS to remind me that research and context can still be found. If you can stay real I believe most of have a chance.
What was unacceptable about voice of people? Trudeau downfall started from Trucker protest. All the lockdown non sense stopped after this protest. This had much broader support than govt sponsored media accept.
@@focusedeyewho cares what unions think, they are activist organizations that parroted what Justin Trudeau said. Some unions also labeled the freedom convoy protesters a bunch of fringe, far-right lunatics that wanted to overthrow the government. That was not true at all. Many liberals try to compare the convoy to the January 6th insurrection. It is slander and discriminatory but some on the far-left are ignorant to their own discrimination, they sit up on their moral high horses and project their insecurities onto others that disagree.
Learning News would make a good CBC app! Let the viewer click the Express link for the up-to the-second stuff... but press the 'Need Background' would offer short links before seeing the up-to-the second stuff. Great idea Ali!
Great interview! Thank you! A very good line of questioning. Great point about lieing. Why do we all allow politicians, US and Canada, to get away with this behaviour??!!!!
Like Peter Jennings before him, I love seeing "our" Canadian homie Ali Velshi on MSNBC. Now CBC, PLEASE hire Medhi Hasan!!! Medhi deserves a real media outlet in North America!

Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media is a 1988 book by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky. It argues that the mass communication media of the U.S. "are effective and powerful ideological institutions that carry out a system-supportive propaganda function, by reliance on market forces, internalized assumptions, and self-censorship, and without overt coercion", by means of the propaganda model of communication.[1] The title refers to consent of the governed, and derives from the phrase "the manufacture of consent" used by Walter Lippmann in Public Opinion (1922).[2] The book was honored with the Orwell Award.
It is my belief that people should retire after a period of time. Regardless their age. But if there is a minimum age to be a president or prime minister, we should also have a maximum age as well. In Brazil a federal judge has a compulsory retirement age of 70 y/o.
The problems many people claim to have with regard to "age" I have with certain individuals regardless of age. For instance, if someone in his or her thirties does the types of things Trump has been doing (with seeming impunity), I would consider that person as disqualified from any office, including cleaning restrooms, let alone service in the executive department. If we're are to establish any kind of test for public service, including and especially the executive department, it should be a criminality test. If an individual has committed crimes, up to and including those committed by Trump, that person should be officially disqualified. Age does not factor into that, nor should it.
Setting the table? Could you be specific about analytical skills please Velshi. This is the problem with people who don’t bother getting enough philosophy, polisci and history at university. Philosophy needs to be a major focus for at least two years for everyone studying whatever at post secondary. How can you live in words or science if you can’t organize the literature?
Jacqueline, critical thinking skills can be learned without any post secondary education. It's asking ourselves, "is this true, can I verify it?" Or, "is this not entirely true, how can I verify it?" Then go looking for credible sources.
Regarding your parenthetical statement: Raphael Eduardo Cruz, Jr. should have moved back to Calgary several years ago to challenge Harper for the Tory vote in Calgary Southeast. Then, the NDP candidate would have been elected. And, perhaps he would have saved himself the embarrassment of flying down to Cancun while Texas was on ice.
Have you ever watched MSNBC? They do not air lies, and all facts are sourced. Fox "News" is a Reich wing infotainment arm that lost a $750 million civil case for airing all the Covid and Jan 6 lies. They are not even remotely close.
Sorry Mr. Velshi. I initially thought the protest by Canada's truckers was triggered by US right-wing populism. Today, I'm not so sure. I was still contagious after taking my COVID vaccines. The courts declared that the federal government's invocation of the Emergencies Act, penalizing the truckers and freezing the bank accounts of their donors were irrational , political and unconstitutional acts. But the (so-called independent) CBC spokespersons and journalists have not adequately admitted to their erroneous and biased reporting.
The honking, the music, blocking the roads and boarders, the hollering, the putting up of structures, all this went on day and night and was just wrong. ... But using the Army was also wrong. They should have used just the Police forces.
@@TechwithSTONE4 Exactly! And now taxpayer funds must be used to settle civil lawsuits from aggrieved litigants whose bank accounts were frozen or free speech rights were trampled on by Trudeau's goons.
Thank you! That's what I said. The fact that he's still claiming the convoy was fueled by external sources, when it's already been proven that was not the case, just shows this guy is nothing more than a shill for the government.
Hes great on MSNBC. Figures since hes Canadian 😊
Ali is struggling with gullible people, who have gone deep down the first convenient rabbit hole they find. I feel his pain.
Thank you for this session which is so needed. I agree with Velshi on the differences between Canada and the US. As an immigrant from the US to Canada I find myself enjoying Canadian politics because I am not frightened by politics. What a thought! I continue put my efforts toward peace in the world. Keep up the good work Ali!
The US should adopt Canada's campaign rule: candidates can only campaign during the six weeks before an election.
Our constitution wouldn’t allow it
@@akg9991Maybe it's time for another "amendment".
Tell that to Pollievre, who has constant campaigning by the alt. right, whether it's "parents' rights" marches stirring up false moral panics, "truckers' stirring up hatred against Trudeau, or the online anti-Trudeau hatemongers droning continuously to influence people with disinformation.

But in order for that to matter, the right would have to start recognizing that science exists and use it to develop policy.
@@crystalw8050 Well said. I didn't go to high school per se, but a collegiate institute. The difference was that the latter didn't offer general courses, but advanced courses intended only for those who would be applying to universities. I remember in media studies on the first day being instructed by the teacher to being in the three most popular newspapers the next day. We were then required to write a paper on the differences, and the bias each one had. I've never looked at information sources the same way since, and I spend a great deal of time researching these days. It wasn't a difficult lesson, but I don't think kids are taught these lessons these days, and they should.
People don't really have their own facts. They have the narrative that they've chosen to buy into.

Yeah, NO.
Choosing to believe a lie doesn't magically transform it into a fact but they act as if it does. That's where the CRAZY is.
Keep that passport on hand. If ttump gets in, you're going to need it.
For that same reason, I wish I could afford a passport. But, after rent, groceries and other daily expenses, who really has an extra $150 laying around?
Albertans should adopt Alis learn as you go, hint hint don't freak out about what you don't know!
I moved to the US in 2001 too, the US is just not the same place at all now. I just moved back home this past year for a while.
The difference between american and Canadian media is that Half of the videos Canadian media publish disable the comments😂
Gee...I wonder why that is?/s
Because people CAN'T behave properly online.
@@weirdthingstoeat7198Because people share information with each other. Because an informed populace is dangerous to those trying to control the narrative.
@@weirdthingstoeat7198 the government has no place hindering free speech online
When in history have the "good guys" wanted censorship?
Then you have to think for yourself.
Banger interview!
I don't know how many people watch local US news but the difference is both startling and somewhat bizarre. Everything is "oh oh no, look!" Hyperbolic.
The various media here, newspaper, television and Internet are far better at presenting the news without the hyperbolic, over the top emotional drift.
Yes, there a drift towards nationalism, which Ali is right to warn about, but it can be dealt with IF we learn what NOT to do.
Great Interview!
Great interview!
Trust, verify the information, we are humans facing AI as well
So Right Mr.Velshi. I use Wiki, and PBS to remind me that research and context can still be found. If you can stay real I believe most of have a chance.
I loved his takedown of Gymbag Jordan on healthcare. Classic!
Well, Canadian healthcare is not working well for many people, and provinces and Ottawa all in deficit trying to fund a broken system.
Still beats the US system. @@wendigo53
I love Ali velshi’s reporting.
I really don’t think people are as political everyday as media likes us to believe.
Maybe they should be.
Really interesting and hopeful beliefs.
I adore Ali ❤
Love your show Ali!! 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦
Yes, we adopting American style politics and I really worry about it.
I definitely agree with the trucker protest that was a Rediculus and unexceptable
What was unacceptable about voice of people? Trudeau downfall started from Trucker protest. All the lockdown non sense stopped after this protest. This had much broader support than govt sponsored media accept.
@@oldmansgoldenwordsYou mean the trucker protest that local Ottawa citizens had to endure and that the Teamsters Union was completely against?
@@focusedeye Also please reply to ask if the same North Pole which is closer to Russia.
???
@@focusedeyewho cares what unions think, they are activist organizations that parroted what Justin Trudeau said. Some unions also labeled the freedom convoy protesters a bunch of fringe, far-right lunatics that wanted to overthrow the government. That was not true at all. Many liberals try to compare the convoy to the January 6th insurrection. It is slander and discriminatory but some on the far-left are ignorant to their own discrimination, they sit up on their moral high horses and project their insecurities onto others that disagree.
Learning News would make a good CBC app! Let the viewer click the Express link for the up-to the-second stuff... but press the 'Need Background' would offer short links before seeing the up-to-the second stuff.
Great idea Ali!
Slow news= maddow
Canadian common sense
Love Ali velshi on msnbc
Great interview! Thank you! A very good line of questioning. Great point about lieing. Why do we all allow politicians, US and Canada, to get away with this behaviour??!!!!
That was an excellent vid. Cheers.
Ali 👍👍👍
…very Astute insight 13:35 & understandably where the “smartMoney” will choose to invest!?
excellent! You need to promote your news department as ... "News with Standards"
But then he’d be lying!
Like Peter Jennings before him, I love seeing "our" Canadian homie Ali Velshi on MSNBC.
Now CBC, PLEASE hire Medhi Hasan!!! Medhi deserves a real media outlet in North America!
Other Canadian journalists who took jobs in the US:
Ashleigh Banfield
Peter Jennings
Pat Kiernan
Janis Mackey-Frayer
Keith Morrison
Kevin Newman
J.D. Roberts
Morley Safer
Linden Soles
The cost has not been worth it. Multiculturalism has failed.
He obviously hasn't been back to Canada for a very long time.
Like all true Canadians, Ali knows that making it big means making it big in New York, Washington or Los Angeles.
Comment section as expected.
Ali is one of our "one's that got away" , whom we would have been better to keep yet he shines much brighter in America
We 🍁taking over USA one position at a time.
no talk of genocide I guess

Manufacturing Consent:
The Political Economy of the Mass Media is a 1988 book by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky.
It argues that the mass communication media of the U.S. "are effective and powerful ideological institutions that carry out a system-supportive propaganda function, by reliance on market forces, internalized assumptions, and self-censorship, and without overt coercion", by means of the propaganda model of communication.[1] The title refers to consent of the governed, and derives from the phrase "the manufacture of consent" used by Walter Lippmann in Public Opinion (1922).[2] The book was honored with the Orwell Award.
Like John Roberts he was smart and gets the big bucks now.😂
Meanwhile, the planet is on fire.
It is my belief that people should retire after a period of time. Regardless their age. But if there is a minimum age to be a president or prime minister, we should also have a maximum age as well. In Brazil a federal judge has a compulsory retirement age of 70 y/o.
The problems many people claim to have with regard to "age" I have with certain individuals regardless of age. For instance, if someone in his or her thirties does the types of things Trump has been doing (with seeming impunity), I would consider that person as disqualified from any office, including cleaning restrooms, let alone service in the executive department. If we're are to establish any kind of test for public service, including and especially the executive department, it should be a criminality test. If an individual has committed crimes, up to and including those committed by Trump, that person should be officially disqualified. Age does not factor into that, nor should it.

Come back to Canada ! 🙂
we couldn't afford his salary looool
@@Malgnofnik😂😂😂
He isn't wrong
Setting the table? Could you be specific about analytical skills please Velshi. This is the problem with people who don’t bother getting enough philosophy, polisci and history at university. Philosophy needs to be a major focus for at least two years for everyone studying whatever at post secondary. How can you live in words or science if you can’t organize the literature?
Your paragraph is bollocks and uni snobbery.
@@MunterPunter gotta say... I had to read it twice to come to the same opinion
Jacqueline, critical thinking skills can be learned without any post secondary education.
It's asking ourselves, "is this true, can I verify it?" Or, "is this not entirely true, how can I verify it?"
Then go looking for credible sources.
Agree.
Excellent interview!
any difference ? never see it ..seems like the same BS.
content... you mean propaganda
Depends..
State media
Kool-Aid drinker.
Is that because you're so used to, what is it over there?... Russia Today?
troll.
So you in favour of everything being monetized?
That's rich coming from someone who ingests Russian disinformation and thinks he's "doing his own research."
Come back!!
(But PLEASE don't tell Ted Cruz it is possible.)
Oh no. If Ali goes back, so do the geese!
Regarding your parenthetical statement: Raphael Eduardo Cruz, Jr. should have moved back to Calgary several years ago to challenge Harper for the Tory vote in Calgary Southeast. Then, the NDP candidate would have been elected. And, perhaps he would have saved himself the embarrassment of flying down to Cancun while Texas was on ice.
He is from msnbc say no more !
Please say more....I would prefer to listen to Ali than say Jesse Waters or Sean Hannity.
Have you ever watched MSNBC? They do not air lies, and all facts are sourced. Fox "News" is a Reich wing infotainment arm that lost a $750 million civil case for airing all the Covid and Jan 6 lies. They are not even remotely close.
Sorry Mr. Velshi. I initially thought the protest by Canada's truckers was triggered by US right-wing populism. Today, I'm not so sure. I was still contagious after taking my COVID vaccines. The courts declared that the federal government's invocation of the Emergencies Act, penalizing the truckers and freezing the bank accounts of their donors were irrational , political and unconstitutional acts. But the (so-called independent) CBC spokespersons and journalists have not adequately admitted to their erroneous and biased reporting.
The honking, the music, blocking the roads and boarders, the hollering, the putting up of structures, all this went on day and night and was just wrong. ... But using the Army was also wrong. They should have used just the Police forces.
@@TechwithSTONE4 Exactly! And now taxpayer funds must be used to settle civil lawsuits from aggrieved litigants whose bank accounts were frozen or free speech rights were trampled on by Trudeau's goons.
@@TechwithSTONE4 The army was never deployed during the truckers occupation of Ottawa.
They didn’t say it was irrational or even unnecessary, just that it didn’t meet the specific criteria in the Act.
Thank you! That's what I said. The fact that he's still claiming the convoy was fueled by external sources, when it's already been proven that was not the case, just shows this guy is nothing more than a shill for the government.
“Mostly peaceful protest” 😂😅😂
