President Trump told the crowd, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
The only really 'conservative' media in Canada are small internet outlets like Rebel News or True North. Both are regarded as 'fringe' by the MSM.
