If you only consumed your news from the legacy media, you would have no idea that Canadian Armed Forces veteran James Topp is walking from Vancouver to Ottawa to protest the government\u2019s mandates.

Here at True North, we\u2019ve been covering Topp\u2019s journey from the very beginning.

This week, Topp crossed into Alberta from British Columbia via the Crowsnest Pass, completing the first 1000km of his protest march.

Topp launched his 4200km journey from the Terry Fox monument at B.C. Place in Vancouver on Feb. 20 and plans to reach the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the nation\u2019s capital in June.

If you haven\u2019t had a chance yet, read my latest report on Topp\u2019s march to Ottawa <\/em>here<\/a>.<\/em>

Paul, I believe Canadians should be aware of Topp\u2019s ambitious mission. This is why I\u2019m telling his story on True North.
Why isn\u2019t the legacy media covering this story?<\/strong>

The reality is the majority of legacy media outlets in Canada receive millions in government handouts courtesy of the Trudeau government.

In order to cover Topp\u2019s story, legacy media outlets would have to acknowledge the inconvenient facts of the government\u2019s mandates.

So-called journalists in the legacy media refuse to criticize or even question the government out of fear that their funding could be pulled.\u00a0

This isn\u2019t right. How can a media outlet be fair and critical when they’re in the pockets of the government? I don\u2019t believe they can.\u00a0

This is why True North is so important.

We tell the other side of the story \u2013 and we don\u2019t receive government handouts.
