WATCH: Calgary “hunger strikers” caught eating
How much of this so-called "hunger strike" is real?
Keean Bexte
They called it a hunger strike. Then the food came out.
International students in northeast Calgary have been attracting sympathetic media coverage by claiming they are on a “hunger strike” over the expiration of their temporary work permits.
But after the speeches, interviews, and carefully staged press event were over, video circulated showing people at the protest gathered around trays of food and eating a large meal.
That raises an obvious question:
How much of this “hunger strike” is actually real?
At least some of the protesters presented as part of this supposedly desperate demonstration appear to have had no problem eating once the media spectacle was finished.
The legacy media has repeated the protesters’ claims almost entirely at face value. They describe temporary residents facing the expiration of their permits as victims who have been unfairly denied the ability to remain in Canada.
But Juno News went directly to the protest and asked questions the government-funded press avoided.
The protesters claimed they have a “legal right” to stay in Canada. They said the government owes them work permits because they paid tuition and taxes. They insisted they were only seeking temporary Canadian work experience and would eventually return home.
Yet when Keean Bexte asked whether they would leave Canada if the government rejected their demands, the answers quickly became evasive.
Now, video of people at the protest eating raises even more questions about the credibility of the campaign.
If the “hunger strike” is not what Canadians were led to believe, what else about this protest is being misrepresented?
This is why independent journalism matters.
We do not simply repeat activist talking points. We show up, investigate what is happening, and ask the questions others refuse to ask.

"I suspect somebody may be taking a one-way plane trip to Poland if he ever is compelled to release where his funding has come from and what he is doing with it."
“I find those comments despicable, there’s no other way to say it,” Lukaszuk said on Friday.
With Alberta inching closer to a fall referendum, Premier Danielle Smith is wondering out loud about how third-party advertising spending is being reported and tracked.
“Forever Canadian is the one I see the most signs up and for some reason, the elections officials have said that they don’t have to disclose where they’re getting their money from,” Smith said in an interview with Global News on Thursday, as the premier was meeting with her provincial counterparts in P.E.I.
“That’s a bit surprising to me and surprise to others. I suppose we’ll see what kind of contributions there are, also spending limits as well.”
Her comments aren’t sitting well with Thomas Lukaszuk who represents the Forever Canadian ...
Carney is in the process of privatizing the Canadian Airline Industry into Brookfield Funds which includes selling Canadian airports.
He is building his Net Zero Carbon Market in Canada.
By the time he’s done Canadian’s there will be a carbon market tax on everything Canadian’s do and buy. We are already paying 50-60 percent Government taxes and fees and Carney is going to add the carbon market tax on top of the current taxation. Carney wants every penny of Canadian wealth transferred into his Brookfield Funds.Maybe when Canadian’s are paying 80-90% tax and can’t afford to own to personally own anything,
they will figure out they are not living in a democratic country.
There’s a special word for that kind of society.
