00:00:00.000
Hello everyone joining us at home and hello to my BC colleague Drea Humphrey. I'm Tamara
00:00:26.760
Ugolini and you're watching our daily live stream. I was going to say it's Tuesday, it's actually just
00:00:34.080
Monday, August 21st. How are you doing over there Drea? Well I'm good, we're getting a lot of the
00:00:42.520
smoke. I think we're going to talk about the Kelowna fires and more so air quality is pretty
00:00:47.560
poor here but aside from that we're good. Good, well the picture is coming in nice and clear so
00:00:52.700
I hope that mine continues on that path. The internet is, we're always dealing with issues and
00:00:58.360
the studio is still being taken care of. It's under renovation and there was a small flood that
00:01:05.180
happened last week so we had to cancel the live stream and so we're back to remote hosting
00:01:09.680
where possible for this week so stay tuned. If you don't subscribe to us on various platforms I
00:01:16.800
recommend that you do so that you can be kept up to speed at a moment's notice. If we do end up having
00:01:22.140
to cancel anything or you just never know what kind of news will break so it's always good to
00:01:26.940
make sure that you subscribe and that being said we're streaming on a few different platforms so
00:01:31.420
Rumble, Odyssey, Getter and YouTube. I don't think that we'll get into any YouTube nitty-gritty that
00:01:39.460
goes against their ever-changing and evolving community standards so we hopefully won't have to
00:01:44.940
worry about that and there are being Monday there's some weekend news to go through and I guess we
00:01:52.560
should just get get right into it Drea and you're in BC and you're close to the wildfires you said
00:01:56.940
you're smelling some of the smoke do you want to lead the path on our first topic there? Sure yeah I'm
00:02:03.520
about four hours away in a suburb in the lower mainland and so for the last few days it's been filled
00:02:11.200
blanket with smoke but of course we're not experiencing anything like the people in
00:02:16.280
Kelowna. I'm hearing that over 30,000 people have been evacuated and of course that's horrible there's
00:02:24.160
a lot of homes that have been burnt and then it affects their tourism season as well which is
00:02:30.660
something else that's going on. We have a report here we can kind of get an update from it's from CTV
00:02:36.880
and it's about NASA's mapping data which shows the extent of the wildfires across Canada
00:02:41.940
because let's not forget they're also blazing in the northwest territories. So the mapping shows
00:02:48.560
that the extent of the wildfires raging across the northwest territories in British Columbia
00:02:53.480
with several towns have been damaged forcing thousands of residents to flee their homes.
00:02:58.680
it's just say I'm scrolling down a bit says the satellite imagery shows most of the west and
00:03:05.940
northwest central regions of Canada in a sea of oh my gosh I always do this I always click on like
00:03:13.700
the ads by mistake and then lose my marking but you can see the little map there and it shows the areas
00:03:18.820
of where the fires are at um and then it says much of the fires in northern Canada
00:03:26.180
are you know it's the area sorry trying to catch up to where I was going I did know where I was going
00:03:32.480
with this um yeah here uh between Fort Smith and and Hay River so it says much of the fires in northern
00:03:39.460
Canada are between Fort Smith and Hay River northwest territories in northern Alberta where there are three
00:03:45.180
out of control fires according to the Alberta wildfire status dashboard and so yeah it's great that they
00:03:52.420
have all these interactive maps and you can kind of stay up to date because due to Meta's bans on
00:04:00.040
Canadian news which is another topic that we can I guess just just naturally get right into because of
00:04:07.040
those bans you can no longer stay in touch or stay in tune on social media to get the latest
00:04:14.260
breaking news so you have to now go to each independent broadcaster to try to decipher
00:04:21.540
and siphon out relevant and irrelevant content uh so this is our one of our contributors Alex
00:04:29.620
Dollywell wrote this up uh just yesterday and the headline here is meta bans on Canadian news
00:04:35.680
prevents prompt access to wildfire locations and um is even hindering some evacuation plans apparently
00:04:42.700
so BC uh British Columbia and the northwest territories both have declared states of emergency
00:04:48.220
in regards to these these raging forest fires as they encroach on cities including West Kelowna and
00:04:54.200
Yellowknife um and tens of thousands have fled their homes under duress from evacuation orders which is
00:05:01.320
the exact opposite really of what happened in Maui and maybe we can touch on that in just a minute but
00:05:05.940
in terms of this article um it just uh gets into some of the scary details of the evacuees um and one
00:05:16.420
of the people I guess interviewed by the CBC said the ongoing bout between Meta and the federal government
00:05:22.680
had worsened a difficult situation with thousands left in the dark from the outset because I think this is
00:05:28.720
only really two weeks roughly from when Meta started banning Canadian news sources and news and content on
00:05:38.640
their platform so that's Facebook and Instagram where many people would search out um news related
00:05:44.820
activities great source of social engagement and and interaction and um and debate what happened on that
00:05:52.800
platform between friends or whomever and so now that that access has been restricted a lot of people
00:06:00.060
aren't even they're still kind of figuring out how to go about the news and and getting access to it
00:06:06.020
because it's so fresh and then this um tragedy happens and people are really left in the dark scrambling
00:06:12.860
over whether or not they where they're going to get their sources their new sources from so that's
00:06:19.020
really unfortunate especially because Meta doesn't need to do this right right now the law the legislation
00:06:26.420
isn't meant to come into effect until 2024 so this was in my opinion their way of saying like look this is
00:06:32.100
how things are going to be if you move forward and actually formally enact and give this legislation
00:06:38.220
royal assent which won't happen they say until about 2024 um but this is kind of like Meta
00:06:43.900
threatening the government showing the people what this actually means once it's instituted and
00:06:49.720
yeah so there's been some back and forth there between Trudeau and Meta and the government and
00:06:54.660
Meta and you know from a business perspective Meta and from the government we want to control all the
00:06:59.280
content perspective of the the Canadian liberals the federal liberals they should say um and so Meta
00:07:06.180
could rein this in and they could say okay we're not going to institute this right now but
00:07:10.200
I don't know what difference it really makes whether they do it now or in six months um regardless
00:07:15.580
this this is a heavy-handed piece of legislation and they're just not willing to abide by the stipulations
00:07:22.080
yeah I mean you said a lot there and it is so unfortunate that at times like this there is an
00:07:28.360
exception no exception being made which is something I would like to see I'm a little torn between uh you
00:07:34.460
know it's almost like I understand I can't believe I'm saying it uh Meta's perspective on this
00:07:39.920
um and then you know Trudeau just comes back with saying things like oh it's unfortunate they
00:07:44.520
don't want to support Canadian media but you know the Trudeau government is reminding me a little bit
00:07:49.360
almost of like the cartel going around to the businesses and saying you owe us a cut you know
00:07:53.560
what I mean when no other country's doing that but I do think when it comes to emergencies
00:07:58.240
it would make sense that there is an exception for that I do remember when the premier of British
00:08:04.060
Columbia David Eby came out and said oh you know we're not going to be doing ads on there
00:08:08.840
the premier did say except for emergency ads so um I guess I don't know if that's even allowed I
00:08:16.620
suppose maybe Meta's saying no we're not even letting you guys do ads so it is unfortunate one
00:08:21.080
thing I do want to mention about the fires as well is there was a very large fire uh similar to what
00:08:28.080
we're seeing at this time in Kelowna as recent as uh 2003 because I know you know with the fires there
00:08:35.940
there's always this narrative that you know it's it's the first time it's ever happened
00:08:40.120
uh so 2003 there was quite a raging fire I believe it started from a lightning strike um and I think it
00:08:48.140
was 27,000 people who were displaced so this one that we're experiencing right now is more with the
00:08:55.640
30,000 like I said um oh we've got a there we go right there so the Kelowna 2003 on the left and then
00:09:03.580
you can see from the right the food uh professor is just pointing out um that this isn't the first
00:09:09.800
time we've seen something like this in that area and the 2003 when I was looking up some of the
00:09:16.000
the statistics they had roughly 20 um hectares I believe it was 20 hectares let me just double check
00:09:25.620
um that's actually and this is right from the city of Kelowna let me just share that we can pull it
00:09:29.760
up on screen here um because uh yeah but they say in this article so if we can pull it up and this
00:09:36.580
comes as I mentioned from the city of Kelowna 25 hectares it looks like 25,000 sorry yes 25,000
00:09:42.140
hectares of forest and park um were destroyed in that fire in 2003 and they say the second paragraph I
00:09:49.540
found kind of funny the one in a hundred year inferno began with a lightning strike on August 16th so the
00:09:55.680
timing is really very similar here but um they alleged at that time in 2003 that this was one in
00:10:01.320
a hundred years and yeah you know here we are fast track yeah a fast track 20 years later uh pretty much
00:10:09.040
to the date and there's a similar fire here ravaging now it's not out it's still ongoing but I right the
00:10:16.120
last known report that I'd heard was that it had engulfed roughly 10,000 hectares so about half of what
00:10:22.640
it did at in in the 2003 fire and yeah I think it's getting close to it now um maybe I wasn't paying
00:10:30.280
attention then but I mean I didn't hear this climate alarmism 20 years ago uh around this fire that had
00:10:39.320
a more broad scope in terms of the area that it engulfed and maybe this one will get there you know
00:10:44.780
I pray obviously never would wish that but I hope it is put out soon and this is an end to it um but
00:10:51.620
it's funny to kind of go back and contrast the reporting from 2003 with a larger span of fire
00:10:58.660
versus what's happening now in 2023 um and it's all about you know the climate alarmism and I think
00:11:05.920
there was that tweet too by our former environment minister Catherine McKenna who's now works on the UN
00:11:11.980
I don't know climate crisis committee or something um she is saying there uh yeah so she had this this
00:11:19.900
one tweet here that she talked to a friend and her anecdotal story about how the Kelowna Kelowna
00:11:27.140
burned down the fire burned down his house in Kelowna um and basically she ends it there with we all need
00:11:33.880
to wake up to the climate emergency she had another tweet too or maybe it wasn't her but someone was
00:11:38.980
calling out uh Pierre Polyev because he so leader of the conservative party he had to cancel one of his
00:11:44.820
engagements there oh yeah it was her again um yeah sorry that's not the one I'm referring to
00:11:52.500
um but yeah she's just putting out a bunch of a string of tweets on this and basically like
00:11:56.860
aiding the hysteria that this is somehow related to uh the climate crisis and the climate emergency
00:12:04.260
and we all must be very afraid um and and I guess I let me see if I can find that tweet that I was
00:12:12.480
referring to that Polyev had to cancel one of his engagements let me hold on let me see if I can find
00:12:18.420
that if you want to uh if you have any comments there Drea I was just gonna say that fear is such
00:12:24.080
a great motivator especially if you want to up the taxes or you want to control the people like we saw
00:12:28.880
with COVID so it's kind of like there's a saying and I'm probably not going to remember it right but
00:12:33.380
it's like don't waste a good um you know like disaster don't let a crisis yeah good crisis go
00:12:39.960
to waste there you go and that's kind of what we're seeing there like what exactly are higher
00:12:44.580
climate taxes or climate taxes going to do to prevent things like this um and you know I guess
00:12:50.820
while you're looking for that we can even throw to uh Prime Minister Trudeau's comments about meta
00:12:55.960
in this whole situation since we did touch on meta so this is how Trudeau is responding when it
00:13:01.680
comes to meta not backing down on not showing our news right now local news is so important and the
00:13:10.200
work that people are doing to share messages and keep people informed with safe up-to-date information
00:13:17.500
is unbelievably essential to keeping Canadians safe that's why and I'm going to make a comment on this
00:13:26.500
it is so inconceivable that a company like Facebook is choosing to put corporate profits
00:13:35.280
ahead of ensuring that local news organizations can get up-to-date information to Canadians and reach
00:13:44.940
them where Canadians spend a lot of their time online on social media on Facebook
00:13:52.140
Facebook made billions of dollars in profits over the past years including off of Canadians
00:14:01.300
and we recently passed legislation that says Facebook if you're going to be sharing
00:14:07.860
news or work done by Canadian journalists or local news you have to make sure they're compensated for
00:14:15.960
it fairly well instead of making sure that local journalists are fairly paid for keeping Canadians informed
00:14:25.020
on things like wildfires Facebook is blocking news from its sites in a larger picture that's bad for
00:14:35.040
democracy because democracy depends on people being able to trust high-quality journalism of all sorts of
00:14:42.000
different perspectives and points of view but right now in an emergency situation where up-to-date local
00:14:52.200
information is more important than ever Facebook's putting corporate profits ahead of people's safety ahead of
00:15:01.860
supporting quality local journalism this is not the time for that this is the time for Canadians to
00:15:11.880
continue to pull together and be there for each other it's time for us to expect more
00:15:16.780
from corporations like Facebook that are making billions of dollars off of Canadians
00:15:22.240
it's like you know the pot calling the kettle black because it's also inconceivable that Canada has a law that's
00:15:32.060
putting us in this position whether or not it's been passed or not like he Trudeau is not backing down
00:15:37.720
but he just loves he it's like the saying that we just said never let a good crisis go to waste because
00:15:43.240
now he's like oh great uh this can just show that Facebook's the bad guys and let's face it we all know
00:15:48.640
that uh if Facebook is to fall in line with this it's really just another way for Trudeau to give
00:15:55.600
more of his state preferred media money uh certainly independent news outlets like Rebel News and True North
00:16:03.120
will not be getting any money for Facebook because Canada will not probably recognize them so it's just
00:16:09.280
oh it's so frustrating yeah and always he's like and this is a direct hit on democracy and I mean I agree
00:16:17.180
I agree with that sentiment because I mean social Facebook meta did build their platform based on
00:16:25.880
providing quick and timely access to news it used to be called your news feed now it's just called a
00:16:33.340
feed um so they did build their platform on this idea that you know you could share easily share
00:16:39.540
broadly breaking news and um but but they would have continued to do that and provide that platform
00:16:48.060
if the liberal government didn't meddle in their business with their heavy-handed ambiguously worded
00:16:55.160
legislation that um has now hindered Canadians access to news on that platform and and yeah they
00:17:03.140
they will prioritize their profits of course and whoever the uh state sanctioned media and the state
00:17:10.580
approved media is will profit while the little guys continue to get squashed and I mean that's
00:17:17.120
been happening for a long time with metas also their community standards and the things that they deem as
00:17:23.040
wrong think or wrong speak to use those Orwellian terms from the revamped or from 1984 which we've
00:17:30.160
revamped and you can buy that at buy1984.com I think it is or .ca anyway um yeah so so yeah I agree with
00:17:39.640
the sentiments of Trudeau in that sense but I mean the inability to self-reflect and say well it's actually
00:17:46.180
our piece of legislation that's responsible for this banning is just just continually highlights
00:17:54.000
the hypocrisy of the government and what they do and claim to be doing and how it actually is
00:18:00.680
instituted on the ground um in real time so just quickly I know we're probably it might even be in
00:18:07.980
the ads but I think this is a good time to mention that we have found a workaround around this so if you
00:18:13.400
still use Facebook unfortunately I still do I don't know why I'm still on there but I am a lot
00:18:18.920
of people are over 70 percent of uh Canadians do get their uh news online um so we have partnered with
00:18:27.400
a really good brand uh for a VPN uh you can find out exactly what that is but it will basically help
00:18:33.760
protect and keep your activity online private so that you can bypass sort of stipulations like this
00:18:39.420
and be in the know even on Facebook with Canadian news and I think the URL is piavpn.com
00:18:48.420
slash rebel news and it's like 83 percent off right now so really this is a way for you guys to keep in
00:18:54.940
touch with our content but then also situations like this that you know potentially be life-saving
00:19:00.520
when you really look at it so yeah and thank you for doing I think I think we'll show that actually
00:19:08.040
maybe we should go to um a quick ad break and show the great ad that you did with that in
00:19:15.100
partnership with that VPN company because yeah that's that's the workaround here is for Canadians
00:19:19.840
to continue to get access to their news by using this any VPN but um this one in particular has a
00:19:26.920
great deal on so maybe we can just go to a quick ad break and come back to um some Ontario specific news
00:19:33.600
we're facing an imminent threat a planned blackout of all news content in Canada is coming to Facebook
00:19:40.560
and Instagram threatening to silence rebel news and those who depend on us for the other side of the
00:19:45.800
story the cause well Justin Trudeau's new censorship law bill c18 which demands social media companies pay
00:19:53.140
news outlets for the news stories their users share on the platform it's a shakedown and a desperate
00:19:59.420
attempt to keep the mainstream media afloat it seems the billions in taxpayer subsidies just aren't
00:20:06.000
enough to keep the country's propagandists in business but Meta Facebook's parent company has
00:20:12.220
chosen to block Canadian news content rather than comply rebel news included many have already lost
00:20:18.960
their ability to access our Facebook and Instagram pages the blackout will soon affect every user in
00:20:24.700
Canada but fear not we have had a plan to protect your access to our news content we've partnered

00:21:22.440
all right now I couldn't find that Pierre Polyev tweet that I was referring to but essentially what
00:21:32.280
it got to was that he had to cancel his event um due to the wildfires but something about how he's
00:21:39.140
silent on the climate emergency and won't take action and da da da da um so that's what that was
00:21:44.800
about and I can't I don't recall where it came from anyway I couldn't find it but we have this other
00:21:49.280
great uh tweet from the leader of the opposition the conservative party of Canada where um six buzz tv
00:21:57.300
so he shares a screenshot here from a headline from six uh buzz a large majority of Canadians now view
00:22:04.200
Trudeau's carbon tax as just a tax that makes life more unaffordable and does nothing for climate change
00:22:10.220
I mean here here and he says Trudeau's carbon tax is a cash grab and nothing more
00:22:16.440
I'll ask Trudeau's tax to bring home low prices yeah I'm really actually nervous heading into this
00:22:23.660
winter what this these additional taxes are going to do to our not only our heating costs but also
00:22:31.760
our grocery bills um we see like the inflation is just continuing unabated even if inflation is kind
00:22:39.780
of stagnant and reaching a plateau there's still highly inflated food prices and when you're feeding
00:22:47.180
a brood of children or yep you know that's what you really notice you're in the service industry like
00:22:54.020
I'm really uh I feel for a lot of the people who rely on groceries and and everyone relies on groceries
00:23:01.580
obviously but I'm talking specifically about industries like the food and beverage industry which
00:23:06.000
was decimated by the covid lockdowns and the restrictions that were imposed on them by the
00:23:10.600
government um but now moving forward we are seeing just how insane the grocery prices continue to be
00:23:19.240
in Canada really affecting Canadian households especially those families there are there are parents
00:23:25.980
who are choosing to either not eat completely or really spacing out their own meals so that they can
00:23:33.960
continue to feed their children I mean this isn't what you would be hearing typical of a first world
00:23:41.120
developed nation and I think it's only going to get worse as we head into the colder months
00:23:47.360
yeah it definitely will and you know it's already putting even more pressure on people who were already
00:23:53.520
struggling to feed their family before I think they're showing that people in general just buying less
00:23:58.820
I mean perhaps that's in some ways a good thing if you were buying a lot of junk food and stuff but
00:24:04.100
you're right the kids is where you really see it I could happily eat like cheese and jalapeno olives and
00:24:10.800
a pepperoni stick every day for dinner but you know the kids gotta they gotta have the full meals and I'm
00:24:16.900
really noticing it there and I'm really noticing it uh with those you know sort of like the the special
00:24:23.200
treats that you would buy your kids or something it's like whoa we're not getting that anymore like
00:24:27.640
that's ridiculous the cost of that so uh for example um costco which generally you go if you want to
00:24:34.000
save some money um those big large bags out here like ten dollars now if you get the big bag of like
00:24:40.260
chips or something like that and it's like okay we're cutting that out might be a good thing but not
00:24:44.920
really it's crazy how much we're noticing the inflation and it absolutely is just a tax grab uh which
00:24:52.480
i think we have a video about how some people may respond to that with perhaps some f trudeau
00:24:59.720
merchandise they buy um and trudeau is asked actually about what his thoughts oh we don't have that video
00:25:07.080
okay never mind there is a video floating around um of him responding to that but um yeah i wouldn't
00:25:14.100
have an f trudeau thing comment if you do um uh but i can see why some people are doing it i guess
00:25:20.760
yeah i'm glad you brought up comment because i think i missed that in our housekeeping introduction
00:25:26.040
but you can engage directly with us if you want to give comment or feedback or give us a tip or just
00:25:32.240
have your comment right on screen um by giving us a small monetary donation on rumble specifically so
00:25:37.920
youtube has completely demonetized us um and really we risk being deplatformed completely uh almost every
00:25:46.380
time we post anything controversial which is a lot so um if you want to engage with us or send us a
00:25:54.040
comment a tip or a trick uh you can do that on rumble through a super chat i think it's called
00:25:59.900
um and it's a great way yeah i always get confused because there's so many different platforms it's hard
00:26:07.380
to keep up even even for me to check my email i'm like wait which email do i need to check
00:26:11.860
right now which one did i already check anyway um and so it's a great way for you to support our
00:26:17.580
independent journalism and also get your comment read on screen um as you know we won't take handouts
00:26:23.920
from the justin trudeau liberals which is why they haven't approved us as their state back to media
00:26:28.600
and why we would um suffer from the the legislation that they have bill c11 and bill c18 most recently
00:26:36.420
the online news act um and so i think we actually have a couple that have just came in so we'll read
00:26:42.780
those before we get into this ontario specific oh and we did find the video olivia says of trudeau
00:26:49.440
responding to that if we want to go to that but it's kind of funny sure yeah let's read these and
00:26:53.320
then we'll go um we'll go to that one cool beans 89 gives five dollars facebook would be the last place
00:27:00.220
i would go in a crisis or for any news yeah that's fair enough um fb facebook should not be trusted
00:27:06.980
and how out of touch blackface he missed bce and their layoffs and aiming for a single national
00:27:14.920
newsroom yeah i mean when you have a liberal appointed senator which i wrote a few pieces about
00:27:22.380
this um right it was specific to bill c18 or c11 but uh this liberal specific
00:27:30.220
appointed senator was calling these pieces of legislation orwellian he was saying it's
00:27:37.940
reminiscent of of stalin's pravda you know that is pretty extreme especially as i mentioned coming
00:27:45.620
from a liberal appointed senator and so uh that i mean that lends to the severity and the the scope of
00:27:53.540
these bills when a senator is is calling it those things and yet it's still passed through the senate
00:27:59.540
um it just hasn't been enacted yet i i flubbed earlier it did re did receive royal assent that's
00:28:05.060
bill c18 the online news act it did receive royal assent but it just hasn't been enacted yet so
00:28:10.040
meta is preparing for the day it will be enacted and is as a precautionary thing going ahead and
00:28:16.900
abiding by the legislation as it stands for the time that it will be enacted which is any day
00:28:21.760
um or expected sorry into 2024 but uh we'll read this other super chat and we'll play that video
00:28:28.460
judah bursey gives five dollars is he in a library t most used words during his speeches are to keep
00:28:36.440
canadians safe and miss disinformation yeah and now even to uphold democracy right everything that he
00:28:43.380
does is the the for to have the truth prevail and to uphold the democratic debate and at the same
00:28:50.860
point in time his actions are speaking louder than his words there um here yeah let's play this this
00:28:56.180
clip he's probably attending and he's i know he's probably attending a drag queen story time right
00:29:01.240
after maybe he's the uh the this the person doing it for democracy of course yeah and just this is
00:29:10.800
unrelated but this past weekend i was camping with my family and um there was a vehicle that was
00:29:16.320
a part of our uh it was our neighbors basically and it had a bumper sticker on it with your name
00:29:22.160
and an expletive we've all seen it explained to my children um given that you're trying to do
00:29:28.220
something that has rarely been achieved in canada in history a fourth mandate um have you considered
00:29:33.740
the possibility that you have become a liability oh ever since the pandemic um in particular we've seen
00:29:42.780
uh an increase in uh polarization and frustration and anxiety and mental health pressures on a whole lot
00:29:52.920
of people right across the country nobody has been unaffected by that and part of uh the challenge we
00:29:59.880
have politically is that we are seeing uh deeper polarizations go figure but don't write off
00:30:08.240
canadians just because they choose to weigh it wave a nasty flag don't write off a neighbor who
00:30:14.980
chooses to put a bumper sticker that unfortunately you then have to explain to your kids people are
00:30:21.100
hurting out there and what we've seen every single time there's been an emergency or a challenge this
00:30:27.280
summer is neighbors stepping up to help each other this is who canadians are neighbors weren't
00:30:34.480
allowed to go to each other optimistic diverse country with a diverse range of political views
00:30:40.580
and it's one of our strengths oh my gosh another one of our strengths is how we pull together when
00:30:48.180
times are tough that's what we did during the pandemic that's what we do when we work together
00:30:54.860
to invest in early childhood education that's what we do when we work with municipalities and provinces
00:31:00.540
to build more housing that's what we do when we invest in our future all together
00:31:07.500
now politics is never going to be a game of unanimous support it's about a whole bunch of thoughtful
00:31:16.220
good people coming together to try and figure out the best way forward and yes there are people who
00:31:23.660
are hurting there are people who are lashing out and we need to be there to reassure them
00:31:28.840
that they're going to be able to succeed that their kids and their communities are going to be able
00:31:34.300
to succeed even though the world is changing in very scary ways yeah that's an answer thanks
00:31:39.300
i'm not giving up on anyone thanks to him i'm going to continue working hard every day
00:31:45.120
to build that future that we all know canada can have we are the best country in the world
00:31:53.020
let's keep making it better not with you in charge buddy oh my goodness there's so much to say that
00:31:59.580
all of a sudden now he cares about mental health first of all i don't know if he's saying everybody
00:32:03.680
with an f trudeau flag is uh you know needs mental health but during the lockdowns he could care less
00:32:10.880
about how people were being affected mentally the anxiety that was being increased kids uh wanting to end
00:32:17.300
their life and trying to commit suicide i up to like 300 more calls going to help centers for kids
00:32:23.660
yeah where was your your passion and your careness then it's like we all know who you were just a year
00:32:31.140
ago you can't just do this script he is a good actor though i will you know it comes out naturally
00:32:36.700
like he is a good actor he's that's what he is he's a drama teacher he is a drama teacher he's very
00:32:44.500
good at drama and oh how the times have changed since he last um campaigned in 2021 yeah for the snap
00:32:54.740
election yeah and you know now that he's seen his his divisive tactics that he literally campaigned on
00:33:03.100
a mere two years ago have become a liability which is what he was asked about um he's now
00:33:11.020
completely switched gears and said we oh we can't write off canadians oh the polarization the mental
00:33:17.120
health the anxiety we have to have compassion this is literally we have this montage and it's about
00:33:23.400
just over two and a half minutes so maybe we won't play the whole thing maybe we'll just play about
00:33:27.540
half of it um but we have a montage of trudeau two years ago where he advocated there you go to
00:33:34.540
write off canadians disregard compassion um polarize people and and really was the cause of a massive
00:33:43.660
amount of people's anxiety and devastation to their mental health i mean look at this guy two years ago
00:33:49.880
he's a lunatic yeah if you don't want to get vaccinated that's your choice but don't think
00:33:57.140
you can get on a plane or a train besides vaccinated people
00:34:00.900
and now is the time for people who are still resistant to getting vaccinated to realize
00:34:10.320
that that choice which has consequences on putting our kids at risk which has consequences
00:34:18.380
at having us risk uh more lockdowns because they haven't chosen to get vaccinated yet
00:34:25.560
that there will be consequences for those people in not being able to go to a gym or a restaurant
00:34:33.460
not being able to go to a movie theater not being able to get on a train or a plane
00:34:38.480
i want to stand up for the choice of those who are there for their neighbors not those who are
00:34:46.440
risking us all going into further lockdowns of slowing our economic recovery trying to bring people
00:34:53.860
is not always compatible with science with respect for human rights
00:35:03.880
with the best way to move things forward i mean when erin o'toole talks about oh yes
00:35:08.480
we need to unite people we need to bring people together
00:35:11.380
he's talking about defending the rights of people who are anti-vax
00:35:17.980
that's why we've been unequivocal if you want to get on a plane or a train in the coming months
00:35:24.800
you're going to have to be fully vaccinated so families uh with their kids don't have to worry
00:35:29.800
uh that someone is going to be put them in danger in the seat next to them or across the aisle
00:35:35.020
unfortunate i'm getting sick now the people who
00:35:39.300
yeah we can just cut i'm getting sick that's too much trudeau for me
00:35:44.620
it goes on and on and i mean you can see there based on like the the atmosphere
00:35:49.300
and uh his clothing like this is multiple engagements that he repeated
00:35:54.960
this dangerous segregationist rhetoric i mean this went on and on for for months really under the regime
00:36:04.700
of the justin trudeau liberals and now fast track uh now that he's become a liability as the reporter
00:36:11.280
truthfully inquired about um and they're like they're crashing in the polls the liberal party
00:36:17.740
um now he's really done a 180 and uh i don't i i guess i don't think we should be surprised he's
00:36:26.080
he's a politician he's flip-flopping whichever way the polls will go and we should do it we're
00:36:31.400
seeing that in real time we should do a montage now cutting back from what he's saying today and
00:36:36.920
then the dates of uh back and forth because that would be really telling but well and it's really
00:36:41.540
nice to have that for there's always people in the comments oh sorry there's a little bit of a delay
00:36:46.760
i think but there's always people in the comments who are like do not show trudeau so apology for that
00:36:52.760
i know we need like a trigger warning you know how they have the trigger warning yes like yeah
00:36:57.440
this caution trudeau's face will appear in this live stream for him and uh deputy prime minister
00:37:05.380
christia freeland because both of their voices are just like nails on a chalkboard to me and dr
00:37:11.520
bonnie henry at least for the british colombians and theresa tam yeah i mean we could probably the list
00:37:17.240
would go on and on but um do we want to to go to a quick ad break before we get into the rest or do
00:37:25.160
you want to rush through let's go through the ontario um thing really quickly because uh this is kind of a
00:37:31.640
growing groundswell of what you've been dealing with in bc really drea for the last 25 or so years
00:37:39.820
and that's to do with this idea of harm reduction of illicit drugs and uh the safe consumption sites
00:37:47.560
are somehow going to lead us out of an opioid crisis so here we have news of the government
00:37:53.280
of ontario reviewing supervised consumption sites after the fatal shooting of a 44 year old mother
00:38:00.420
near the leslieville consumption site so it opens here this is by city news um the ford government has
00:38:08.780
launched a critical incident review of ontario's supervised consumption sites after the fatal
00:38:13.360
shooting of a woman near a site in toronto's east end in july so approximately a month ago
00:38:18.240
um a spokesperson for health minister sylvia jones said that all sites are expected to comply with
00:38:24.260
strict requirements and the review will start with the south riverdale community health center
00:38:29.700
which was uh near the scene of carolina kubner macarrati i think is how you pronounce her last
00:38:38.440
name david menzies did a report on this but after her death so uh there was um suspected to be gang
00:38:44.260
related activity happening stray bullets this 44 year old mother was just like walking peacefully um
00:38:52.140
as a unthreatening unsuspecting pedestrian she was hit with one of these stray bullets and she died
00:38:59.040
and so in response to this now there's been three arrests one of which
00:39:05.000
is um a worker at this community outreach center um and i'm just trying to find her name here yet
00:39:14.740
they are so the toronto police have now arrested 23 year old kalila zara mohammed of pickering
00:39:21.100
who faces charges that include accessory after the fact to an indictable offense and obstruction of
00:39:28.000
justice in relation to this murder um and so this really lends the question and for those of you
00:39:35.840
who haven't watched aaron gunn's documentary uh canada is dying i highly recommend you do because
00:39:41.900
he makes a really salient point in there and he says when does this become when does this stray from
00:39:49.340
harm reduction to aiding and abetting yeah and so here we have a story well yeah enabling and abetting
00:39:57.860
yeah and here we have a story of one of these community workers who um i think it was brian lily
00:40:05.100
from the sun sun news who mentioned this woman was previously hailed on cbc for her decriminalization
00:40:14.420
advocacy efforts uh with illicit drug use and also for her harm reduction she was part of the harm
00:40:22.380
reduction program at this particular uh health center and so these are the voices that you really
00:40:29.520
see amplified by the mainstream media by the cbc themselves they have reports with this this woman
00:40:35.280
who's now been arrested and albeit she you know should have access to a fair timely trial so you
00:40:41.600
know these are allegations and charges at this point she hasn't been proven to be guilty of anything
00:40:45.340
but this is a clear indication that there's more to this harm reduction strategy than just what we hear
00:40:53.280
about by from the cbc it's all rainbows and butterflies and we're taking people out of the
00:40:58.660
throes of opioid addiction and you can see it in bc dre i mean the bulk of that uh canada's dying
00:41:04.960
is based on what's happening in uh in your province well and also credit to aaron gunn he also has a
00:41:13.200
vancouver is dying which is very specific obviously to vancouver but you're right uh you know the
00:41:18.540
narrative is that this is all you know uh lollipops and rainbows and uh there is i guess some stats
00:41:25.720
out there that show that crime is going down in the immediate area um but what's happening in the
00:41:30.740
street oh you know two streets down is a different story and you know it's really sad we have business
00:41:36.740
owners moving um they're just saying it's not safe anymore they're losing customers that are coming
00:41:41.760
um things like that and i think the main thing for me as somebody who did uh volunteer a lot of my time
00:41:48.740
um in a homeless shelter and things like that is as soon as we start missing the multi-pronged approach
00:41:55.720
to actually helping people who want to be helped uh with addiction that's where we're really doing a
00:42:01.760
disservice to this whole issue it's not just um the fact that they use yes they can go use clean there
00:42:07.760
but then when they're couch surfing on their friends uh you know for a month they're not going
00:42:12.760
to even leave the house and um you know their drug pushes are still in their life and so there's a lot
00:42:18.200
of trauma there there is co-occurring uh disorders there's a lot of mental illness and things like
00:42:23.100
that so this is my biggest concern with it is that we're missing the mark on helping people especially
00:42:28.760
those ones who uh do want to be helped and uh they need they need a lot more than a safe um you know
00:42:36.480
consumption site and they need years of help with that so this is where um i get upset with this whole
00:42:43.020
thing well and that's another part that aaron gun touches on in his documentary is the four pillars
00:42:49.620
of recovery and it starts with prevention and then the fourth i can't recall what the second and third
00:42:56.240
pillars are maybe you can chime in there drea but the first one is prevention obviously and the second
00:43:01.780
third pillar and then the fourth pillar is harm reduction and for some reason we've disavowed those
00:43:06.820
first three pillars especially that prevention aspect and i've jumped instead right into harm reduction
00:43:13.400
which you can look at the stats and i'm going to have an article um that kind of pulls from this
00:43:18.700
particular story uh that ontario is reviewing their supervised consumption sites because i looked at the
00:43:24.940
crime stats in that area because the this area is known specifically where this happened was in
00:43:30.300
leslieville and that's the area of south riverside in toronto and um and the residents there in
00:43:36.260
leslieville are saying we're seeing an increase in crime and violence and so i actually went on to
00:43:42.700
the toronto police uh their their data sets and i had a look and it's pretty stark the the increase
00:43:49.160
in things like assault and otherwise um but i think there comes a point too where the crime just becomes
00:43:55.980
so rampant the police stop responding to a lot of it and so when you see a drop in the crime rates i think
00:44:02.820
that's just because the police have stopped showing up to a lot of these more petty petty calls um because
00:44:09.740
there's just complete lawlessness it just and also our judicial system you know you're you're catching
00:44:15.780
release at this point with a decriminalization um of bill i think it was c5 in roughly 2017 so i mean
00:44:24.700
the police can go and arrest and arrest and arrest but within hours the um alleged criminals are back
00:44:31.000
out on the street so what's the point really yeah and in bc we're so progressive in this area but our
00:44:36.860
overdoses are not decreasing they are increasing so what do you say about that yeah yeah exactly and
00:44:43.860
it's coming to a town near you that's why we've launched a campaign at at fixourcities.com and
00:44:49.480
we're doing some some work there to bring attention to and shed light on this issue because as soon as
00:44:55.420
you institute these safe consumption sites i mean even in coburg the town that i'm from there's these
00:45:00.660
unsanctioned overdose prevention sites tents popping up and they come every friday night from i think
00:45:07.180
six till 10 p.m um and and two weeks ago there was two overdoses in that time frame that they were
00:45:13.900
in operation and um and so even worse off you have these unsanctioned sites popping up and so these
00:45:23.280
people aren't adequately trained in harm reduction they're not trained how to de-escalate how to deal
00:45:28.460
with psychosis especially drug-induced psychosis and even adverse effects due to narcan because if you
00:45:34.120
give somebody too much narcan they become violent and aggressive and um and it's just out of control
00:45:41.280
really it's it's a real mess um so that's why we've launched that special campaign there a petition
00:45:46.360
email about blast and i think there's even talks about a billboard truck um so if you haven't already
00:45:51.700
check out that website at fixourcities.com we'll kind of consolidate all of our reports on this subject
00:45:57.520
as it continues to evolve there so check it out but uh maybe we'll go to an ad break jerea and then
00:46:04.240
we'll come back and chat about uh some of the lgbtq stuff it wouldn't be a daily roundup without it

all right speaking of health i guess we have this latest uh hit piece from well i shouldn't call it a
00:47:39.640
hit piece not really a hit piece but this latest piece from the cbc uh posted yesterday and it's a
00:47:46.840
first person account after coming out as trans my return to sex work has been unexpectedly rewarding
00:47:53.960
and i'm terrible at pronunciations but this comes from yeah yeah um ivya shimshan
00:48:03.560
abadia wong i think yeah sounds sounds good to me tamara um i like i don't even know where to start
00:48:13.960
with this one drea it's uh i i'm so shocked that this is news you know in today's day and age
00:48:23.000
well it says uh well they go by them got into sex work because it's helped them make ends meet during
00:48:30.360
times of financial hardship however her oh maybe it is her i'm so confused now her newfound confidence
00:48:37.320
in their transgender body and queer sexuality has made her realize they might finally be ready to
00:48:46.440
leave the profession okay that was such a confusing paragraph they are interchanging her and them
00:48:52.840
over so i guess they are a new her yeah yes there's a new one where you can be a she they
00:48:58.760
or something or a oh my god i heard they i yeah you can be all of the pronouns depending on what day
00:49:05.240
it is um so that might be what's happening here and so i don't know what biologically they are
00:49:12.520
oh it's so confusing and there's a new one i don't know if you heard this and i i forget how to
00:49:16.680
pronounce it it starts with a z but now there's this new one and maybe it's just the you know the
00:49:21.640
people on tiktok for now but they're saying you know they can't be summarized so they are not to be
00:49:26.920
addressed at all have you heard that one yet like there is no way to pronounce them uh there's no
00:49:33.800
pronoun you just don't address them by anything oh i'm like this is oh my gosh this is this that is
00:49:41.400
just so extra dehumanizing i have not heard i'm hearing about this for the first time right now and
00:49:46.280
that is just awful imagine just having no self-worth that you're like just don't address me at all
00:49:54.200
exactly and i thought the it one was bad because that's out there too they're being called to it
00:49:59.080
but basically um yeah and why are cbc publishing this like this is not a mainstream sort of issue you
00:50:08.680
know what i mean like this is just one crazy situation um since my money was already safely
00:50:15.400
stowed away okay no that's it so this is uh is this a journalist from the interior of bc writing this
00:50:23.640
right this is yeah i don't even think it's a they they are a journalist uh it's a first person column
00:50:31.720
and i guess right this individual has um has written other pieces for the cbc but um basically
00:50:38.920
it's glorifying prostitution as a way to get you out of poverty essentially is is how i read
00:50:46.840
this article um i guess it is about a man who identifies as a woman if you scroll down and see
00:50:55.400
the picture it clearly looks like a man i said it oh my goodness i can't help it it's too confusing i
00:51:02.520
don't know what to say there you go so it says yeah because if you misgender somebody it's violent
00:51:07.640
like that is raging violence if you misgender them so you have to be uh you have to be so careful these
00:51:14.360
days because i guess words are violence now um to these people but but yeah essentially this article
00:51:22.920
is giving this first person account of this man who's actually who's now identifying as a woman
00:51:29.160
um doing sex work and how it wasn't part of their 10-year plan but they they're they're glorifying
00:51:35.800
um prostitution essentially selling your body for money as a way to to get out of poverty yeah and
00:51:44.280
sex work yes yeah all the language around this around these things um to to under the
00:51:51.800
the idea that it's destigmatizing certain uh illicit acts um is what you're seeing clearly on display
00:52:01.880
here in this cbc article i'm not surprised anymore i'm done being surprised on what what's gonna come
00:52:09.480
next with this stuff i did uh you know i'll hold this one i'll do a report on this one because i got to
00:52:16.120
get my facts straight so we'll just move past what i was gonna say but uh keep checking uh stop
00:52:22.040
classroom grooming dot com and it will eventually be up there but that's where we throw a lot of
00:52:26.600
this stuff especially when it obviously connects with the kids um but the normalizing of doing sex
00:52:33.000
work just to get by and things like that it does find its way to the kids and that's where i'm going
00:52:38.040
with an article that i'll be coming up with yeah the ripple effect that the mainstream media has on
00:52:44.280
amplifying this these kind of voices right to use the language of the left which i love doing by the
00:52:49.960
way people are like oh tamira's a liberal in disguise no i just love using their language in a way that is
00:52:56.760
not against them but just just using that language because it seems to be the way that they want to take
00:53:02.040
things so i'm going to use their language they're amplifying these voices of of you know a clearly
00:53:08.840
mentally unstable individual who has identity self-identification and identity issues who's
00:53:14.920
engaging in illicit acts for money the illegal acts for money and you have your mainstream media
00:53:21.320
glorifying and amplifying this individual and their story and their lived experience and so when you
00:53:27.880
amplify these voices in our mainstream media our state-backed media our government and taxpayer funded media
00:53:34.120
this ricochets down it has a ripple effect and of course this is going to start infiltrating our school
00:53:39.560
systems that are also state and taxpayer funded and getting into the the hearts and the minds of our
00:53:46.840
children this is uh the natural progression and the way that things will grow and ripple and ricochet out
00:53:55.080
and so yeah absolutely that that effect is we're seeing it play out in real time especially if you have
00:54:01.560
children in the school system if you're talking to teachers in the school system or the support
00:54:06.280
workers or your own children you're seeing and hearing in real time what effect this is having
00:54:12.920
in that system and it's really it really unfortunately ends up affecting a lot of the already marginalized
00:54:18.760
and at-risk youth people who don't have a solid family home life to go back to children in foster care
00:54:24.920
and state care um so it's really sad to see how much this agenda is capitalizing on those vulnerable
00:54:32.920
at-risk youth and are really capturing and recruiting them into this idea of gender being a social construct
00:54:40.600
and then as we've seen with people like billboard chris that leads to medicalization of these children
00:54:47.000
and potentially even mutilation of these children and as they become adults which we're just starting to see
00:54:53.000
the the recourse and the repercussion of that now because we have nothing to base it on historically
00:54:59.560
um they are regretting their decision with with their very grave regrets and repercussions
00:55:06.280
for their decisions and we're we're living it it's really sad to see it all unfold
00:55:11.560
yeah the uk was a little bit ahead of us but like you said not not much ahead right so they had
00:55:17.160
i think a thousand families come together and for a lawsuit to sue what was the most popular
00:55:24.600
gender clinic there at travestock gender clinic which is closed so i suspect we're going to see some
00:55:30.120
similar cases come up in the next couple of years here in canada but there's this whole drive to
00:55:36.760
de-stigmatize things and something should have a stigma on it we're not talking about you know men people
00:55:43.160
people with mental illness where of course yes there shouldn't be a stigma about it we're talking
00:55:47.400
about drug use which they're trying to just de-stigmatize and we're talking about prostitution which is
00:55:53.160
an extremely dangerous lifestyle to live it is not safe at all and it is often overlapped with drug use
00:56:01.320
which of course is another health risk so some things should still have a stigma on them we don't
00:56:07.320
need to water down the phrases and call it sex work like it's no big deal because it does um you know
00:56:13.800
put you in a dangerous path yeah and i mean i we should stigmatize as you said criminality right like
00:56:21.400
the whole idea that we should decriminalize certain things has just led to and fueled more criminal
00:56:28.360
activity um so i guess you know there's again a very clear instance of failed liberal legislation
00:56:37.320
because it did the exact opposite of what somehow they thought or intended it to do um decriminalization
00:56:45.000
was supposed to get people the help they needed to reintegrate into a healthy robust functioning
00:56:50.680
society and instead we're seeing again it play out in real time uh that the exact opposite has happened
00:56:58.600
like that that uh gentleman i think it was somewhere in the norfolk county area who killed that opp officer
00:57:06.040
a few months ago had like 50 plus charges against him uh was out on bail and and so you see that
00:57:14.600
repeatedly over and over again but getting back to um the the idea of gender as a social construct and
00:57:22.280
this trans rights or human rights which is the chant that you hear repeatedly within this community
00:57:28.280
um we have a little video here to share with our viewers about the new york city's commission on human
00:57:34.760
rights and how they basically force businesses um with more than 15 employees to attend gen attend annual
00:57:50.440
now you will watch a video about gender the video is audio described for people who are blind or have
00:57:58.920
low vision in a classroom two people present we're going to take two minutes to talk about gender oh
00:58:05.000
this has nothing to do with me well actually gender does have to do with you not to me hold on everyone
00:58:10.680
has a relationship with gender whether you have thought about gender a little or a lot it has
00:58:16.120
impacted you how you were named what clothes you wear expectations about what jobs you can do
00:58:23.080
and you get the point yep every single person watching this video has been taught about gender
00:58:29.560
from the very beginning from burn we like to define people right so when people are born society defines
00:58:36.840
them by looking at their reproductive organs and labels them male or female it's a girl science
00:58:42.600
well actually it's more complicated than that gender can be broken down into gender expression
00:58:48.920
or gender identity let's look at some gender identities i'm sophie and i'm cisgender the majority
00:58:54.600
of people in our world identify as cisgender sometimes without us even knowing it cis means i identify
00:59:01.240
with the gender i was assigned it for when i was born the doctor said it's a girl
00:59:06.520
and i still identify as a woman today hi i'm tamara i'm also a woman oh no so man holds a blue
00:59:13.480
blanket uh it's a boy tamara pulls away the blanket revealing a pink one no i'm a trans but i thought
00:59:21.640
the colors don't matter as a woman even though when i was born i was assigned something different
00:59:26.440
a man who has deaf signs i'm garrett i'm a cisgender man when i was born everyone said people throw blue
00:59:35.640
balloons and today i identify as a man hi i'm bailey because people surround bailey with pink
00:59:45.720
and i'm also a man even though i was assigned female at birth people tear away pink to reveal blue i'm a
00:59:50.440
trans man hi i'm c hi i'm lindsay and we're non-binary for me that means i don't identify as either a woman
00:59:58.360
or a man c and lindsay are handed multi-colored balloons and for me that means i don't identify
01:00:04.840
with the gender at all lindsay tosses balloons okay but what's the okay but yeah that's where i am the
01:00:11.800
whole time okay but i mean why why all of a sudden like colors mean something they're like gender means
01:00:17.560
nothing and you were just groomed this way as a child because you were given this color and this
01:00:21.560
color and they're like no i'm the other gender so i need this color and then they're like oh the colors
01:00:25.240
don't matter like can we stop normalizing dysphoria like you know it's this isn't normal
01:00:34.040
and they're talking to adults like idiots in this video um they're leaving out science and biology
01:00:41.800
there are differences between men and women biologically that is a fact um and so they're
01:00:49.320
just completely ignoring that oh well and i mean have at it with adults if you'd like like have a
01:00:58.120
robust discussion debate it be like wait okay but and then ask those questions and see what the answers
01:01:04.440
are because when faced with scrutiny these people really just they they can't debate that's why they
01:01:11.720
target and harass people like billboard chris who literally just walks out walks around with a billboard
01:01:17.960
saying uh children can't consent to hormone blockers or puberty blockers or what yeah he wants to
01:01:24.360
yeah he just wants to have it exactly and they can't even have a conversation so it's like sit down
01:01:29.960
shut up watch our video or else yeah and you must comply so yeah like you're trapped if this
01:01:36.920
if your work is showing this you pretty much have to watch it if you don't watch it you're a bigot
01:01:41.000
you're probably gonna get fired or sensitivity training so you have to sit through there and
01:01:44.920
watch the propaganda you know like it's like it you know almost like uh what do they call those
01:01:50.440
camps the retraining camps in china or something like that you have to sit there and sit through
01:01:55.160
it and be silent about it or else and if you don't add your pronouns to your email signature
01:02:01.720
likewise yeah that's uh that's employment suicide right there if you have an employer like this
01:02:08.680
but the inability to have a conversation and to ask those pointed questions without being
01:02:13.400
labeled as a transphobe a bigot a far-right extremist whatever other label they're going
01:02:19.080
to put on anybody who questions whether or not this is legitimate and most importantly whether or
01:02:25.720
not this should be taught to children right because children are already navigating like like it's not
01:02:31.880
until the formative years that they truly recognize that their parents are not an extension of them that
01:02:37.320
they are independent and individual from their parent their family unit so children are really
01:02:43.880
starting off on this foot of confusion and trying to navigate the world and figure out who they are
01:02:49.160
what their place is where they fit in and um and then you're throwing this kind of confusing rhetoric
01:02:56.840
at them i mean no wonder these kids are just lost in outer space they can't figure out if they're a
01:03:03.000
boy or a girl let alone what they want to do in the world or with their lives when they grow up and
01:03:08.520
they're stuck in this perpetuality of confusion and um i think that's where it gets really out of hand
01:03:15.480
um if you want to if you want to have these conversations with adults and and try to throw
01:03:20.600
these things at somebody who can think critically and ask those critical questions sure let's have that
01:03:25.880
discussion but to just to target children with this kind of messaging and to teach it in our school
01:03:33.000
system unabated um that's exactly why we have that that website and campaign at stop classroom grooming
01:03:39.800
because this is just continuing unabated and it's proliferating uh primarily public schools but we're
01:03:45.800
seeing more and more now even the catholic school system private school christian too out here
01:03:51.000
yeah and parents aren't being told about it and that's the issue where you're you are you have
01:03:57.480
these young impressionable children and as i mentioned a lot of the ones that are captured
01:04:01.160
by this are already kids who are struggling with an identity because they don't have a great home life
01:04:05.880
they don't have a solid family unit um maybe both their parents aren't in the picture they're not
01:04:10.520
together and or they're already in foster care so this is really devastating to an entire
01:04:16.600
generation and we're starting to see the fallout of it but it's going to take a few more years
01:04:20.680
just as you know with the pandemic lockdowns for instance if you brought up any of these mental
01:04:24.680
health concerns you were labeled a selfish grandma killer and so when it was march may april may 2020
01:04:32.760
and you're saying hey these lockdowns restrictions are unprecedented they've never been done what's
01:04:37.640
going to be the effect of social isolation and school closures on children nobody knew and if you
01:04:43.160
questioned it you were a selfish grandma killer and so now we're seeing the exact same thing play out
01:04:48.920
you know we have had a little bit more time to collect that data but we're going to have to wait
01:04:52.760
and see uh really what the true fallout of this is and i think it's going to be absolutely devastating
01:04:57.960
because there are real world physical implications when you start transitioning a child at a young age
01:05:05.880
into their adulthood that they don't realize at the time that's informed consent so anyway we could go on
01:05:12.040
i'm sure yeah for hours talking about all the the prongs of this issue which at the end of the day
01:05:19.240
is the fact that children can't consent to hormone blockers that's what billboard chris
01:05:24.440
that's that's the basis of his argument and that i agree with in the informed consent component of this
01:05:32.040
and we're not going to see what the true devastation and medical fallout of that will be
01:05:36.840
for probably another half to a full generation from now yeah it's a very unethical very unethical
01:05:43.480
social experiment is what we're living through absolutely and now you know the the monotonous
01:05:52.520
uh bathroom situation where it's just no gender at all i'm seeing it more in clothing stores you know
01:05:59.000
gap i think joe fresh more recently also brought out uh gender neutral clothing lines i saw that it's like
01:06:06.200
no those are just sweatpants all sweatpants are anybody can wear a sweatsuit and they're like oh
01:06:11.240
this is the gender neutral it's like no that's just a colored sweatsuit but anyways i don't know i
01:06:16.280
remember being a teenager and like you know wearing um my boyfriend's pajama pants or sweatpants and there
01:06:22.120
was clear differences in the groin when and so i walked into roots a couple i don't know a couple months
01:06:29.480
ago and they had it actually so roots too they had a gender neutral a line but i didn't realize i was
01:06:34.680
i was looking at the table and i'm like you know those are nice sweatpants but i'm like are these
01:06:38.280
men's or women's and they're like oh actually they're neither they're gender neutral i'm like oh
01:06:42.760
so it doesn't matter if you have a penis or a vagina and then but we have unisex we have so embarrassed
01:06:51.640
yeah that's so funny oh my god who says that just point blank out in public well that's just me um but
01:07:00.200
anyway i would prefer to have a more fitted pant so i'm looking for you know a woman specific track
01:07:08.360
pant anyway if you're not all the power to you but uh yeah i there are obviously physical and
01:07:14.840
biological differences between men and women and the clothing does fit differently depending on
01:07:21.240
mm-hmm well i'm sure we'll talk about this next time i don't see any more chats and uh we're a
01:07:29.560
little bit over time but it's been great uh doing the show with you tamara yeah likewise great to join
