退伍老兵Garrick Halinen跟我认识,我们偶尔会聊一些,在这段采访中他针对不理解运动的人讲述了自己的看法,这个采访很好地体现了车队活动者的精神面貌。在车队示威中,退伍军人一直战斗在第一线,Garrick的很多战友,都是在服役过程中负重伤的人,然后又在车队运动中被捕和被殴打。
Rebel News: "How does it make you feel that so many people try and discredit this movement, and try and paint a picture and turn this into something it's not, when it's very obvious speaking with you that is just not the case?"
Rebel News:“这么多人试图抹黑这场运动,试图捏造一幅画面,歪曲这场运动的实际情况,而与你交谈时,我们会觉得,很明显事实并非如此,这让你有什么感觉?”
Veteran Garrick Halinen:"I have no feeling for them at all. I have no pity or remorse. I have no anger. Actually I do have a feeling. I feel love for them because they are fellow human beings. Everybody needs love. They need freedom.They need their rights intact and they're our brothers and sisters. They just have a different mindset. That's all. Some of them aren't awake. You know some people are firm in their beliefs and they'll never change. That's okay. It's understandable, but all is forgiven in the end. Isn't it? If we had an open and free media that could balance out news reporting like they used to do. Shall we call it the old days like maybe the 60s and 70s? Then there would be far more understanding of the true situation in our nation. It's not here right now, because somebody bought the media out. Every media source has their own agenda, and their own beliefs, and values, and they'll report on those, but you know it. It needs to center off a little bit, and become realistic right now. We have unrealistic media in our country."
老兵Garrick Halinen:“我对此毫无感觉。我没有怜悯和悔恨。我没有愤怒。事实上,我有一种感觉。我爱他们,因为他们是我的人类同胞。每个人都需要爱。他们需要自由。他们需要完整的权利,他们是我们的兄弟姐妹。他们只是有不同的心态。就是这样。有些人还没醒。你知道有些人会坚持自己相信的东西,他们永远不会改变。没关系。这是可以理解的,但最终一切都会被原谅。不是吗?如果我们有一个开放和自由的媒体,可以像过去那样平衡地进行新闻报道。可以说就像过去的60年代和70年代那样。那样的话,人们就会对我们国家的真实情况有更多的了解。现在不同了,因为有人把媒体买断了。每个媒体都有他们自己的既定套路,他们自己的信仰和价值观,他们只会根据这些去报道,但你知道的。它需要退后一步,现在应该更实事求是一点。我们的国家有一个脱离实际的媒体。”
Rebel News: "If Justin Trudeau is in front of you right now, in closing, what would you say to him? If he was standing right in front of you, what would your message to Mr Trudeau? "
Rebel News:“最后,如果贾斯汀·特鲁多现在站在你面前,你会对他说什么?如果他就站在这里,你会对特鲁多说什么?”
Veteran Garrick Halinen:"I would say open your heart,look deep in your soul, understand and see clearly what you're doing to our great nation, because what is happening right now is extremely unfortunate."
老兵Garrick Halinen: “我会说,敞开你的心扉,看看你灵魂的深处,了解一下,并看清楚你对我们伟大的国家做了什么,因为现在发生的事情是非常不幸的。”
