Vancouver radio host kicked off the air after supporting freedom protesters

Z95.3 has cancelled popular Vancouver radio host Kid Carson for saying the Freedom Convoy isn't filled with racists.

"If you think the trucker convoy in Ottawa is a racist movement, you've been tricked. You've been fooled," Kid Carson said on what would be his last segment.

"I host a radio show. I'm expected to talk about all sorts of things," he said Wednesday morning. "But it seems like I'm expected not to talk about all the things that matter. And it's especially hard with the thing that's happening in Ottawa."

"This radio show sucks without another point of view. The whole media landscape sucks without another point of view," he added. He went on to say, "There's a lot of manipulation taking place."

"We need to realize it takes real eyes to recognize real lies," he said. "This isn't about race or health or Nazi flags or masks.

"It's about trying to keep our children off a digital ID that will control every aspect of their lives, that can be switched off at any time," he stated.

People called into his show following the segment, lauding Carson as a "hero." However, Z95.3 did not feel the same.

"After today's show, we reached a mutual decision to part ways. Kid has some very strong views on a number of polarizing topics. While we respect his right to have and express those views, they do not represent what z95.3 is all about," Z95.3's statement read on the the radio host's exit.

Since parting ways with his station, Kid Carson gained 30,000 new Instagram followers and rapidly grew his podcast audience.
