Summary

Is it true that technology will make millions or billions of people useless? That's what the World Economic Forum says. Is it true? And why do so many people blame the World Health Organization for it? In this episode, we look into who Yuval Noah Harari is and why he thinks that.


Transcript

00:00:00.780 Hello, my Rebels. Today, I would look into who Yuval Noah Harari is. Who is that, you say?
00:00:08.540 I'd say he's Klaus Schwab's muse at the World Economic Forum. I'm going to play about six or
00:00:15.580 seven video clips where he outlines his theories, including that most people are useless.
00:00:24.060 That's ahead, but first let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus. That's
00:00:27.300 the video version of this podcast. I think it's really valuable so you get a feeling for this
00:00:31.460 Yuval Noah Harari. I'm going to show some video clips. Obviously, you'll hear it on the podcast,

00:00:46.940 That's rebelnewsplus.com. Here's today's podcast.
00:00:57.300 Tonight, is it true that technology will make millions or billions of people useless?
00:01:13.600 That's what the World Economic Forum says. It's June 8th. This is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:17.900 You're fighting for freedom. Shame on you, you censorious bug.
00:01:27.300 I'm so proud of the journalism our team did in Switzerland, covering the World Economic Forum
00:01:37.860 and the World Health Organization. A lot of great videos. My favorite was when Avi Amini,
00:01:43.100 our chief Australian correspondent, accosted the United Nations envoy for COVID-19.
00:01:49.140 David Nabarro is his name. Here's a short clip of that.
00:01:51.680 Hello, sir. You're from the WHO, the special envoy for COVID.
00:01:57.520 I'm just going to a meeting, actually. It's nice of you to talk to me. I'm not doing that other thing
00:02:03.540 at the moment, COVID at the moment. I'm just walking to a meeting about food.
00:02:08.260 I guess you're at the WEF, you're an invite. You're invited to the forum?
00:02:14.360 Yes, but I'm certainly invited to the forum, yeah. Yeah, you can see my badge.
00:02:19.180 Yeah, so why do you think this year it's about, they're talking about the fact that they're
00:02:24.140 regaining trust. Do you think it has anything to do with the WHO?
00:02:30.360 So, I mean, for me, trust has been difficult to maintain with COVID, but you'll have to tell me
00:02:40.520 who you're reporting for.
00:02:42.520 Rebel News.
00:02:43.280 Sorry?
00:02:43.940 Rebel News. Why do you think people don't trust, it's been hard to maintain trust through COVID?
00:02:48.240 Because COVID's affected poor people everywhere really badly.
00:02:54.680 So why do so many people blame your organisation, the WHO?
00:02:57.560 People like to find somebody to blame.
00:02:59.600 Was lockdowns ever a good idea?
00:03:01.480 Well, lockdowns are part of the response, but we say there are things that you can do
00:03:07.780 before you lock down that reduce the degree of problem. So we've always said lockdown is the last
00:03:17.400 resort. And of course we worry if we think some countries are introducing lockdown too early.
00:03:26.260 Do you think, Mel, Victoria, do you think in Australia they had the largest, harshest lockdown, do you think that they locked down too much and they were too severe?
00:03:34.180 I do not like commenting on decisions of individual governments. They have to take account of the local circumstances. There's no hard and fast rule. And so I will not answer the question by agreeing with your statement. I'm just saying that...
00:03:50.860 But they say they followed your advice.
00:03:52.860 That's for them.
00:03:54.860 So nobody, this is why a lot of people blame the WHO is because governments, governments put it in on you and...
00:04:02.860 Of course. But WHO is owned by 194 governments and there will be some who don't agree with others. And that's normal.
00:04:13.860 It's a really good interview, I thought. If you haven't seen it yet, please go to wefreports.com. Real journalism. Well over a million views of that conversation between our different platforms. Think about that. There's a craving for real journalism about the World Economic Forum and the World Health Organization.
00:04:32.860 And yet there were no mainstream media covering those events. Why? The only mainstream media who were there were there as paying sponsors and participants like the New York Times.
00:04:43.860 Rebecca, how are you doing from the New York Times? Can I ask you a quick question as Avi from Rebel News? How is the public meant to believe that the New York Times is here to actually ask the tough questions when you're here as an invited guest? How are people meant to rely on the mainstream media?
00:04:59.860 We have, if you wouldn't mind, we're just having a, just, if you could give us, you know, thank you.
00:05:06.120 You don't want to explain to people why we should trust the mainstream media? No? Of course, no comment.
00:05:12.040 As you can see, Avi was a shining star, so much so that he was invited on GB News, the new freedom-oriented TV network on the UK, last night on their flagship show. Here's a clip of that.
00:05:23.340 Avi, Avi, you had a very interesting time in Davos. Why did you feel it was important to scrutinise these elites who are running organisations like the World Economic Forum and the World Health Organisation?
00:05:38.680 Well, I guess, firstly, thanks for having me. It wasn't my idea. Ezra, our boss at Rebel News, it was the news. It was his plan. And I think his gut instinct was spot on, basically.
00:05:53.340 We got there and you could see that the most powerful people in the world had their own little safe space there in Davos, Switzerland, where they were so shocked when any sort of reporter asked them a real question, just like Nabarro there.
00:06:08.340 Just really great stuff. Why are people so interested in the World Economic Forum?
00:06:13.340 One reason is a psychological one. When the experts and the elites and the official people tell you not to be interested in it, that to be interested in it is a conspiracy theory.
00:06:26.140 Well, there's a reverse psychology there. If you're telling me not to look at something, now I want to look at it because you're not the boss of me.
00:06:35.380 It's like that media party reporter from Global News, remember her?
00:06:41.280 I spent the last week doing a deep dive into the Great Reset after Pierre Polly have tweeted, stop the Great Reset.
00:06:48.440 The idea started the World Economic Forum, but in the recent months since, some conspiratorially minded circles have baselessly decided the policy proposal is a nefarious evil plot.
00:06:58.960 I mean, you read that tweet, and either you say, okay, I trust this reporter to think for me, and she says it's a conspiracy theory, a baseless plot.
00:07:11.180 I mean, she did say she did a deep dive into it. She didn't go to Davos like we did.
00:07:17.180 She didn't actually talk to anyone over there, but take it from her.
00:07:20.580 I mean, you trust her, right? There's nothing there. Don't pay any attention to the Great Reset.
00:07:28.860 It's one approach in life. The other is to say, Gene, sounds controversial at the very least, and actually sort of interesting, almost like a Bond villain stuff.
00:07:40.520 I'll look into it myself, thank you very little, because I'm curious, and there are some odd things out there.
00:07:45.460 I don't quite trust journalists. I guess it depends on if you're a critical thinker, an independent thinker, or maybe you just don't care about politics and ideas.
00:07:54.620 You're too busy in life doing real things like living, working, raising a family.
00:07:58.360 You don't have time for such things at all.
00:08:00.640 But seriously, just taking the word of a self-proclaimed expert, fact checker, who says you're nuts for caring about it, well, that doesn't work on me, or I suspect many Rebel News viewers.
00:08:12.500 I mean, does this Bond villain character, Klaus Schwab, not at least make you curious when he says that he has infiltrated governments around the world, including Canada?
00:08:24.340 What we are very proud of now is the young generation, like Prime Minister Trudeau, President of Argentina and so on, that he penetrates the cabinets.
00:08:37.600 So yesterday I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau, and I know that half of this cabinet, or even more half of this cabinet, are actually young global leaders of the World Economic Forum.
00:08:58.200 The funny thing is, if you agree with the World Economic Forum, you can say it exists if you agree with it.
00:09:05.960 If you disagree with it, if you criticize it, then they say you're a conspiracy theorist for saying it exists at all.
00:09:12.820 It's so weird.
00:09:13.500 But I want to focus for a moment not on Klaus Schwab, the boss of the World Economic Forum, but on his rising star, also a character from a Bond movie.
00:09:22.680 His name is Yuval Noah Harari.
00:09:27.060 He's a bit of an odd duck.
00:09:29.080 He's a bit of a futurist, if you know what I mean by that.
00:09:32.700 Someone who makes predictions about the future and has lots of opinions on what we should do as a broad society.
00:09:39.440 He fancies himself a master of the universe, a mini Klaus Schwab, who's born to a Jewish family.
00:09:47.000 But he's effectively renounced Judaism, and I think it's fair to say any belief in God, any religion.
00:09:54.540 He meditates every day, he says.
00:09:57.340 He just thinks to himself quietly.
00:10:00.000 It's different than praying.
00:10:02.380 He says he meditates for an hour at the beginning of the day and an hour at the end of the day.
00:10:07.520 He's vegan, of course.
00:10:09.440 He says he doesn't have a smartphone.
00:10:13.020 I think calling him quirky would be a bit of an understatement.
00:10:15.760 Now, we're all quirky in our own ways, and maybe I should spend some time calmly meditating, too.
00:10:22.260 I'm sure my wife would love it if I threw away my smartphone, but I don't think you can be in the journalism business and do that.
00:10:30.980 None of that is what bothers me about him, but it adds a bit of context to what he does say and do that does bother me.
00:10:38.740 I want to show you a bit about him, but because, as his boss, Klaus Schwab, says, the WEF, the World Economic Forum for which he offers opinions, they have penetrated the cabinets of many countries in the world, including Canada.
00:10:53.360 So what he says is relevant to you.
00:10:55.460 Now, I'm going to play some video clips of him.
00:10:57.320 Now, some of them I can only find on YouTube channels that are very critical of this guy,
00:11:03.960 and they have, in some cases, put words on the screen that some commentator has added that I don't necessarily agree with.
00:11:10.940 I wouldn't put them on the screen.
00:11:11.820 Some of them have a little bit of sound effects to them that I probably wouldn't add,
00:11:16.780 but these are the best clips I can find easily.
00:11:21.560 Again, not my editorial garnishes on them like the sound effects, but I want to show you who he is.
00:11:28.160 Let's start with something I can sort of identify with.
00:11:31.240 He explains why he doesn't have a smartphone.
00:11:33.760 I do, but I understand his thinking.
00:11:35.760 Take a look.
00:11:36.760 And enough computing power.
00:11:38.440 We are very close to the point when computers can hack human beings,
00:11:42.440 can understand my emotions, my likes, or my dislikes better than me.
00:11:46.820 Not perfect.
00:11:48.100 You can never hack something.
00:11:51.000 You don't need 100%.
00:11:52.180 You just need to know people better than they know themselves,
00:11:55.780 and this is quite easy because most people don't know themselves very well.
00:12:01.260 So just imagine what happens when we pass the...
00:12:03.400 So as soon as the algorithm knows what I want better than I know it?
00:12:07.560 You're a puppet.
00:12:08.360 It can manipulate you.
00:12:10.000 It can press your emotional buttons,
00:12:11.740 and this is what is happening now with our smartphones
00:12:14.280 and all these, you know, algorithms on social media.
00:12:17.840 Is that why you don't have a smartphone?
00:12:20.180 That's one of...
00:12:21.000 No, that's one of the reasons.
00:12:23.280 Basically, it's to keep my time.
00:12:26.160 And, you know, over the last 20 years,
00:12:28.160 the smartest people in the world and the best technology in the world
00:12:31.620 has been working on the problem of how to hack human beings
00:12:35.060 and control them through the screens and through the smartphones.
00:12:39.660 I'm no match to them.
00:12:41.740 If I give them access, they win.
00:12:44.120 So I try to limit their access.
00:12:47.420 In that way.
00:12:48.220 In that way.
00:12:49.440 I can sympathize.
00:12:51.760 He's identified a problem, a problem for himself,
00:12:55.000 but his prescriptions for the world,
00:12:57.660 his whole set of ideas is how to deploy that same technology
00:13:02.020 that he himself won't let be used on him,
00:13:04.900 how to deploy it on the masses.
00:13:06.160 Sometimes it sounds like he's making a pessimistic prediction,
00:13:10.780 but sometimes it sounds like he's really excited
00:13:12.840 about the brave new world we're going into, like this.
00:13:16.740 After thousands of years,
00:13:18.800 during which humans were the rulers of the world,
00:13:24.900 authority and power will shift away from humans to computers,
00:13:31.000 and most humans will become economically useless
00:13:35.280 and politically powerless.
00:13:38.320 Already today, we are beginning to see the creation
00:13:41.660 of a new class of humans, the useless class.
00:13:46.340 Just as the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century
00:13:49.460 created the new working class, the proletariat,
00:13:54.120 so now the artificial intelligence revolution
00:13:57.140 is beginning to create the useless class.
00:14:00.400 I'm going to come back to that in a moment,
00:14:03.220 the useless class.
00:14:05.960 You're useless.
00:14:07.980 Your only use, he predicts, will be as a consumer.
00:14:11.620 Maybe the ultimate destiny of Homo sapiens
00:14:14.020 is just be consumers.
00:14:16.000 You don't need humans for anything except as consumers.
00:14:20.140 Here he is suggesting that the purpose in life
00:14:22.820 for the masses will be drugs and computer games.
00:14:27.200 Again, disregard the commentary on the screen
00:14:28.880 and the sound effects here.
00:14:30.400 The biggest question, maybe in economics and politics
00:14:33.620 of the coming decades, will be what to do
00:14:36.740 with all these useless people.
00:14:40.240 The problem is more boredom, and what to do with them,
00:14:45.520 and how will they find some sense of meaning in life
00:14:47.980 when they are basically meaningless, worthless.
00:14:51.880 My best guess at present is a combination
00:14:55.200 of drugs and computer games as a solution for more...
00:14:59.860 It's already happening.
00:15:02.520 Under different titles, different headings,
00:15:05.660 you see more and more people spending more and more time
00:15:08.320 or solving their inner problems with drugs and computer games,
00:15:13.080 both legal drugs and illegal drugs.
00:15:14.900 You look at Japan today, and Japan is maybe 20 years ahead of the world in everything,
00:15:21.240 and you see all these new social phenomenon
00:15:24.160 of people having relationships with virtual spouses,
00:15:29.620 and you have people who never leave the house
00:15:31.920 and just live through computers.
00:15:36.220 I think once you're superfluous, you don't have power.
00:15:40.280 Again, we are used to the age of the masses
00:15:42.680 of the 19th and 20th century,
00:15:45.020 where you saw all these successful,
00:15:48.660 massive uprisings, revolutions, revolts.
00:15:51.900 So we are used to thinking about the masses as powerful.
00:15:57.280 But this is basically a 19th century and 20th century phenomenon.
00:16:02.400 I don't think that the masses,
00:16:04.660 even if they somehow organize themselves,
00:16:07.680 stand much of a chance.
00:16:09.600 We are not in Russia of 1917
00:16:12.180 or in 19th century Europe.
00:16:15.260 What we are talking about now
00:16:18.460 is like a second industrial revolution,
00:16:21.560 but the product this time
00:16:23.460 will not be textiles or machines
00:16:26.120 or vehicles or even weapons.
00:16:28.000 The product this time
00:16:29.640 will be humans themselves.
00:16:31.880 We are basically learning to produce bodies and minds.
00:16:35.240 Bodies and minds are going to be,
00:16:36.760 I think, the two main products
00:16:39.020 of the next wave
00:16:40.480 of all these changes.
00:16:43.340 That is optional.
00:16:45.260 Again, and if you think about it
00:16:46.840 from the viewpoint of the poor,
00:16:48.680 it looks terrible.
00:16:50.160 There's some truth there.
00:16:51.400 People are mesmerized by computer games.
00:16:54.720 Pornography has replaced human interaction.
00:16:58.240 What happens when computer games
00:17:00.580 combine with pornography
00:17:02.580 and artificial intelligence
00:17:04.660 and those virtual reality goggles?
00:17:08.280 I think for too many people
00:17:09.240 that would be a tempting alternative
00:17:11.860 to a miserable life
00:17:13.040 they might live in the real world,
00:17:14.760 the world,
00:17:15.140 the World Economic Forum
00:17:16.620 is contemplating where you
00:17:18.600 will own nothing
00:17:20.200 and you'll be happy
00:17:21.440 just as long as you get your drugs
00:17:24.700 and your virtual reality porn
00:17:26.240 and consume.
00:17:28.220 This is really exciting
00:17:29.340 to Harari, by the way.
00:17:31.760 Just, you know,
00:17:32.300 think about sex life.
00:17:34.660 Almost every religion
00:17:36.200 and every ideology
00:17:37.340 wanted to really change
00:17:40.200 human sexuality
00:17:41.960 or limit it,
00:17:43.260 but they couldn't.
00:17:44.480 You had vows of chastity
00:17:46.040 in the church
00:17:46.820 and how many people
00:17:48.220 actually lived up
00:17:49.360 to their vows of chastity?
00:17:51.660 Now think,
00:17:52.940 if you can really start messing
00:17:54.660 with human biology,
00:17:56.700 what will be the result
00:17:58.360 of these sexual fantasies
00:18:00.860 of different religions
00:18:03.060 and ideologies?
00:18:04.440 Harari says people are hackable,
00:18:06.200 like computers.
00:18:07.620 That's the new thing.
00:18:08.620 And again,
00:18:09.340 there are grains of truth
00:18:10.620 in what he says.
00:18:11.580 For example,
00:18:12.000 Apple's watch,
00:18:12.700 I wear one.
00:18:13.700 It tracks your heart rate.
00:18:15.200 A lot of people
00:18:17.100 have wearable tech
00:18:18.500 with a medical purpose.
00:18:20.340 How far away is that
00:18:21.480 from injectable tech?
00:18:24.200 A lot of dogs
00:18:25.060 have an injectable chip
00:18:26.760 that replaces a dog collar.
00:18:28.980 Here's the head of Pfizer,
00:18:30.760 Albert Bourla,
00:18:31.760 talking at the
00:18:32.500 World Economic Forum
00:18:33.260 about a pill
00:18:34.040 that you'll take
00:18:34.860 with a chip in it
00:18:36.840 that will transmit
00:18:38.440 a report to authorities
00:18:39.540 if you took
00:18:40.560 your medicine or not.
00:18:42.000 It is basically
00:18:43.660 a biological chip
00:18:45.440 that it is in the tablet.
00:18:47.740 And once you take
00:18:48.620 the tablet
00:18:49.100 and dissolves
00:18:50.440 into your stomach,
00:18:51.020 sends a signal
00:18:52.140 that you took the tablet.
00:18:53.840 So imagine
00:18:54.860 the applications
00:18:55.600 of that,
00:18:56.160 compliance.
00:18:57.560 The insurance companies
00:18:58.440 to know that
00:18:59.120 the medicines
00:18:59.680 that patients should take,
00:19:01.380 they do take them.
00:19:03.240 It is fascinating
00:19:04.740 what happens
00:19:05.420 in this field.
00:19:07.860 I see these dark things
00:19:09.300 on the horizon.
00:19:10.300 I see some of them
00:19:11.880 hastened by COVID,
00:19:13.280 by vaccine passports,
00:19:14.560 by government apps,
00:19:16.180 by surveillance.
00:19:17.440 Here's Harari saying,
00:19:19.180 yeah,
00:19:20.000 that was COVID's role.
00:19:21.020 Science is not really,
00:19:23.100 at least this is
00:19:23.800 my view as a historian,
00:19:25.540 science is not really
00:19:26.820 about truth.
00:19:28.120 It's about power.
00:19:30.800 I think maybe
00:19:31.980 in a couple of decades
00:19:32.860 when people look back,
00:19:34.440 the thing they will remember
00:19:35.680 from the COVID crisis
00:19:36.900 is this is the moment
00:19:38.880 when everything went digital.
00:19:40.780 and this was the moment
00:19:43.720 when everything became monitored.
00:19:47.360 That we agreed
00:19:48.600 to be surveyed
00:19:50.460 all the time,
00:19:51.960 not just in authority
00:19:53.060 having machines,
00:19:54.160 but even in democracies.
00:19:56.060 And maybe most importantly
00:19:57.800 at all,
00:19:58.380 this was the moment
00:19:59.260 when surveillance
00:20:00.260 started going under the skin.
00:20:03.240 Because really,
00:20:04.200 we haven't seen anything yet.
00:20:05.860 I think that the big process
00:20:08.960 that's happening right now
00:20:10.040 in the world
00:20:10.720 is hacking human beings,
00:20:13.280 the ability to hack humans,
00:20:15.140 to understand deeply
00:20:16.480 what's happening within you,
00:20:17.940 what makes you go.
00:20:21.440 And for that,
00:20:22.640 the most important data
00:20:24.120 is not what you read
00:20:25.880 and who you meet
00:20:26.640 and what you buy,
00:20:27.480 it's what's happening
00:20:28.200 inside your body.
00:20:29.180 So we had these
00:20:30.660 two big revolutions,
00:20:31.760 the computer science revolution
00:20:32.860 or the infotech revolution
00:20:35.020 and the revolution
00:20:36.480 in the biological sciences.
00:20:38.140 And they are still separate,
00:20:39.920 but they are about to merge.
00:20:42.120 They are merging around,
00:20:44.400 I would say,
00:20:44.980 the biometric sensor.
00:20:47.060 It's the thing,
00:20:48.160 it's the gadget,
00:20:49.060 it's the technology
00:20:49.920 that converts biological data
00:20:52.380 into digital data
00:20:54.460 that can be analyzed
00:20:55.540 by computers.
00:20:57.240 And having the ability
00:20:58.900 to really monitor people
00:21:00.300 under the skin,
00:21:02.160 this is the biggest
00:21:03.720 game changer of all.
00:21:05.540 I say again,
00:21:06.240 many of the things,
00:21:07.160 his observations
00:21:07.840 are factually accurate.
00:21:09.140 Sometimes it's hard
00:21:10.260 to decide, though,
00:21:11.860 if he's just describing
00:21:13.020 things he sees
00:21:13.680 or promoting things he likes.
00:21:16.100 But he does take
00:21:17.460 strong opinions.
00:21:20.080 One of his books
00:21:20.900 was called Homo Deus,
00:21:23.400 which means in Latin,
00:21:25.220 man-god.
00:21:27.400 Man is a god,
00:21:28.280 man becomes a god.
00:21:29.200 I think he believes that
00:21:30.420 because he wants
00:21:31.880 to be his own god,
00:21:33.940 although he thinks
00:21:35.060 there's no such thing
00:21:36.460 as free will.
00:21:38.080 Our destiny
00:21:38.820 is to be part
00:21:39.580 of a computer.
00:21:41.020 Listen to this.
00:21:42.480 I don't think
00:21:43.240 that the question
00:21:44.680 is very interesting
00:21:46.380 or very central.
00:21:47.060 It has been central
00:21:47.780 in Western civilization
00:21:49.160 because of some kind
00:21:50.680 of basically theological
00:21:51.740 mistake made
00:21:53.160 thousands of years ago.
00:21:54.280 but it's really
00:21:56.040 it's a misunderstanding
00:21:56.920 of the human condition.
00:21:59.060 We have all this
00:21:59.940 still myth
00:22:01.960 of free will
00:22:02.980 that everything we choose
00:22:04.920 is of our own
00:22:06.060 free will
00:22:06.900 and this is a myth
00:22:08.360 that served us well
00:22:09.480 for a couple of centuries
00:22:10.700 but now it's becoming
00:22:12.540 dangerous.
00:22:13.840 Free will,
00:22:15.560 Jesus,
00:22:16.500 hope,
00:22:17.140 belief,
00:22:17.940 he calls that
00:22:18.820 all fake news.
00:22:20.660 You don't have
00:22:21.880 any answer
00:22:22.460 in the Bible
00:22:23.080 what to do
00:22:24.060 when humans
00:22:25.400 are no longer
00:22:26.460 useful to the economy.
00:22:28.920 You need
00:22:29.540 completely new ideologies,
00:22:31.440 completely new religions
00:22:32.400 and they are likely
00:22:34.140 to emerge
00:22:34.880 from Silicon Valley
00:22:36.260 or from Bangalore
00:22:37.480 and not from
00:22:39.160 the Middle East
00:22:40.320 and they are likely
00:22:42.180 to give people
00:22:43.960 visions based
00:22:45.800 on technology.
00:22:47.380 Everything that
00:22:48.060 the old religions
00:22:48.900 promised,
00:22:49.460 happiness
00:22:50.780 and justice
00:22:52.080 and even
00:22:52.860 eternal life
00:22:53.960 but here on earth
00:22:55.760 with the help
00:22:56.740 of technology
00:22:57.580 and not after death
00:22:59.600 with the help
00:23:00.600 of some supernatural being.
00:23:02.940 I mean all this story
00:23:04.400 about Jesus
00:23:05.060 rising from the dead
00:23:06.140 and being the son of God
00:23:07.300 this is fake news.
00:23:08.520 There's something
00:23:08.920 terrifying about him
00:23:10.200 and it's something
00:23:11.680 he has in common
00:23:12.660 with other people
00:23:13.860 like Bill Gates
00:23:15.080 who says we need
00:23:16.400 billions fewer
00:23:17.900 people in the world
00:23:19.340 It's an average
00:23:20.380 of about five tons
00:23:21.560 for everyone
00:23:22.620 on the planet
00:23:23.400 and somehow
00:23:24.480 we have to make changes
00:23:25.720 that will bring
00:23:27.380 that down to zero.
00:23:29.480 It's been constantly
00:23:30.780 going up
00:23:31.440 it's only various
00:23:33.060 economic changes
00:23:34.640 that have even
00:23:35.360 flattened it at all
00:23:36.200 so we have to go
00:23:36.840 from rapidly rising
00:23:38.340 to falling
00:23:39.580 and falling
00:23:40.160 all the way to zero.
00:23:41.720 This equation
00:23:42.600 has four factors
00:23:43.580 a little bit
00:23:44.680 of multiplication
00:23:45.180 so you've got
00:23:46.400 a thing on the left
00:23:47.380 CO2
00:23:47.920 that you want
00:23:48.300 to get to zero
00:23:48.960 and that's going
00:23:50.380 to be based on
00:23:51.180 the number of people
00:23:52.240 the services
00:23:53.780 each person's using
00:23:55.300 on average
00:23:55.920 the energy
00:23:57.180 on average
00:23:58.300 for each service
00:23:59.000 and the CO2
00:24:00.300 being put out
00:24:01.220 per unit of energy.
00:24:03.720 So let's look
00:24:04.240 at each one of these
00:24:05.200 and see
00:24:06.340 how we can get
00:24:07.320 this down to zero.
00:24:08.960 Probably one of these numbers
00:24:10.360 is going to have to get
00:24:11.180 pretty near to zero.
00:24:13.200 That's back
00:24:14.680 from high school algebra
00:24:15.640 but let's take a look.
00:24:17.800 First we've got population.
00:24:20.140 The world today
00:24:20.820 has 6.8 billion people
00:24:22.460 that's headed up
00:24:23.560 to about 9 billion.
00:24:25.100 Now if we do
00:24:25.640 a really great job
00:24:27.000 on new vaccines
00:24:29.040 healthcare
00:24:29.800 reproductive health services
00:24:31.580 we could lower that
00:24:32.420 by perhaps 10 or 15%.
00:24:34.320 But there we see
00:24:35.420 an increase
00:24:36.080 of about 1.3.
00:24:38.940 The guy who wants
00:24:39.860 to depopulate the world
00:24:41.480 is the guy running
00:24:42.300 the vaccine industry.
00:24:43.560 Oh that's good to know.
00:24:45.960 Why do these
00:24:46.700 elites hate
00:24:48.480 people?
00:24:51.660 Maybe because
00:24:52.440 they themselves
00:24:52.980 believe in nothing.
00:24:54.160 Gates believes
00:24:54.800 he is a god.
00:24:55.800 I think he really
00:24:57.260 believes that.
00:24:58.080 He literally wants
00:24:59.100 to reshape the world
00:25:00.160 in his own image.
00:25:02.080 He thinks nothing
00:25:02.920 of the rights
00:25:03.480 of other people.
00:25:04.340 I mean remember
00:25:04.880 his own wife
00:25:06.460 divorced him
00:25:07.020 because he wouldn't
00:25:07.840 stop meeting
00:25:08.640 with the child rapist
00:25:09.980 Jeffrey Epstein
00:25:11.220 even after he
00:25:12.140 was convicted.
00:25:13.480 They met
00:25:13.840 dozens of times.
00:25:16.020 You know it was
00:25:16.520 also widely reported
00:25:17.640 that Bill had
00:25:18.760 a friendship
00:25:19.780 or business
00:25:20.560 or some kind
00:25:21.580 of contact
00:25:22.020 with Jeffrey Epstein
00:25:22.840 and that you were not
00:25:23.860 that that was
00:25:25.060 very upsetting to you.
00:25:26.240 Did that play a role
00:25:27.160 in the divorce
00:25:28.380 at all in this process?
00:25:30.340 Yeah as I said
00:25:31.140 it's not one thing
00:25:32.620 it was many things
00:25:34.080 but I did not like
00:25:35.740 that he'd had meetings
00:25:37.420 with Jeffrey Epstein
00:25:38.160 know.
00:25:39.820 And you made that
00:25:40.720 clear to him?
00:25:41.820 I made that clear
00:25:42.780 to him.
00:25:43.380 I also met
00:25:44.500 Jeffrey Epstein
00:25:45.180 exactly one time.
00:25:46.760 Did you?
00:25:47.320 Yes because I wanted
00:25:48.260 to see who this man
00:25:49.440 was and I regretted
00:25:53.220 it from the second
00:25:53.840 I stepped in the door.
00:25:54.960 He was abhorrent.
00:25:56.760 He was evil
00:25:58.240 personified.
00:25:59.400 I had nightmares
00:26:00.200 about it afterwards
00:26:01.080 so you know
00:26:02.280 my heart breaks
00:26:03.340 for these young women
00:26:04.160 because that's how
00:26:04.760 I felt and here
00:26:06.200 I'm an older woman
00:26:07.000 my God
00:26:07.800 I feel terrible
00:26:08.760 for those young women
00:26:09.600 it's awful.
00:26:10.460 You felt that
00:26:10.960 the moment you walked
00:26:11.700 in I didn't realize that.
00:26:12.620 He was awful.
00:26:12.960 Yeah.
00:26:13.740 And you shared that
00:26:14.580 with Bill and he still
00:26:15.500 continued to spend time
00:26:17.060 with him?
00:26:18.020 Any of the questions
00:26:19.280 remaining about
00:26:20.640 what Bill's
00:26:21.840 relationship there was
00:26:22.760 those are for Bill
00:26:23.340 to answer.
00:26:24.040 Okay.
00:26:24.460 But I made it very clear
00:26:25.620 how I felt about him.
00:26:27.060 These people believe
00:26:28.100 in no future
00:26:29.340 or at least no future
00:26:30.740 for us
00:26:31.400 other than as consumers
00:26:33.300 no free will
00:26:34.360 we're hackable
00:26:35.580 we serve the masters
00:26:37.880 we're useless
00:26:39.660 in all other ways.
00:26:41.520 He sometimes says
00:26:42.360 economically useless
00:26:44.060 because that's all
00:26:46.160 he cares about
00:26:46.880 useless
00:26:47.400 are you a useless person
00:26:48.660 but I think he's wrong.
00:26:51.340 I think every person
00:26:52.520 has a use.
00:26:54.300 There's a plan
00:26:54.960 greater than
00:26:56.020 Klaus Schwab's plan
00:26:57.420 his great reset
00:26:58.760 there's a plan
00:26:59.340 greater than
00:26:59.840 Bill Gates's plans.
00:27:01.220 Every person
00:27:03.520 has a nobility
00:27:04.380 in them
00:27:04.700 a grace
00:27:05.140 every person
00:27:05.760 is made in God's image
00:27:07.160 they have a little
00:27:07.660 spark in them.
00:27:09.420 Real life
00:27:10.120 and real emotion
00:27:10.920 is better
00:27:11.480 than drugs
00:27:12.700 men and women
00:27:13.460 falling in love
00:27:14.200 and creating families
00:27:15.080 is better
00:27:15.580 than artificial
00:27:16.720 intelligence
00:27:17.600 virtual reality
00:27:18.520 porn
00:27:18.920 and though
00:27:20.400 he hangs out
00:27:21.360 with billionaires
00:27:22.100 and oligarchs
00:27:23.060 the meaning of life
00:27:24.460 is actually
00:27:25.120 to be found
00:27:25.820 I think
00:27:26.780 in the mass
00:27:27.400 of humanity
00:27:28.860 in the billions
00:27:30.060 of people
00:27:30.740 teeming
00:27:31.820 living
00:27:32.340 wanting to live
00:27:33.880 wanting to be free
00:27:34.780 wanting to improve
00:27:35.820 their lot in life
00:27:37.280 wanting to improve
00:27:38.160 the lives of their children
00:27:39.380 even more
00:27:39.840 wanting to be more
00:27:40.940 than just a consumer
00:27:41.760 it's interesting
00:27:42.300 Harari of course
00:27:42.940 doesn't have any
00:27:43.560 children himself
00:27:44.980 I think Yuval Noah
00:27:45.980 Harari has been
00:27:47.280 spending too much time
00:27:48.940 in places like Davos
00:27:50.080 I think
00:27:50.600 he needs to visit
00:27:52.340 with normal people
00:27:53.260 with children
00:27:54.220 not those who hate children
00:27:56.800 with people
00:27:58.480 who have a sense
00:27:59.080 of purpose
00:27:59.620 I don't want
00:28:02.060 to be part
00:28:02.540 of his death cult
00:28:03.460 his consumer cult
00:28:04.860 I don't want
00:28:06.020 to have a microchip
00:28:06.940 in me
00:28:07.260 I don't want
00:28:08.420 to be tracked
00:28:08.900 I don't consent
00:28:10.660 to surveillance
00:28:11.660 I did not consent
00:28:12.720 to COVID surveillance
00:28:14.240 maybe he's just
00:28:15.140 a futurist
00:28:15.820 with an active
00:28:17.060 imagination
00:28:17.640 maybe he's just
00:28:18.740 a storyteller
00:28:19.600 maybe
00:28:20.540 but he is
00:28:22.020 the muse
00:28:22.820 for some
00:28:24.080 deeply
00:28:24.700 evil men
00:28:26.020 who have
00:28:26.580 penetrated
00:28:27.820 our governments
00:28:29.000 including here
00:28:29.600 in Canada
00:28:30.140 this is why
00:28:32.240 we talk about
00:28:32.780 the World Economic Forum
00:28:33.780 because it's interesting
00:28:34.840 because it
00:28:36.620 could be a danger
00:28:37.780 and because
00:28:39.700 we're still
00:28:40.280 for now
00:28:41.400 free
00:28:42.500 free to tell
00:28:44.620 some egghead
00:28:45.480 that he might
00:28:46.540 think we're useless
00:28:47.420 but we don't
00:28:48.620 think that
00:28:49.180 about ourselves
00:28:50.240 stay with us
00:28:52.260 for more
00:28:52.580 you know
00:29:05.080 the Democracy Fund
00:29:06.160 which of course
00:29:07.000 is the Canada
00:29:08.040 Revenue Agency
00:29:09.200 charity
00:29:09.840 that pursues
00:29:10.780 a lot of the
00:29:11.280 civil liberties
00:29:11.700 cases we talk
00:29:12.520 about
00:29:12.740 they have a
00:29:13.860 new scholar
00:29:14.680 in residence
00:29:15.300 a historian
00:29:16.000 in residence
00:29:16.720 my friend
00:29:17.500 Conrad Black
00:29:18.340 and exciting
00:29:19.800 news
00:29:20.160 he is going
00:29:20.680 to give
00:29:20.940 a keynote
00:29:21.500 speech
00:29:22.120 on the
00:29:23.020 history
00:29:23.500 of Canadian
00:29:24.380 civil liberties
00:29:25.400 later this month
00:29:26.860 so I'll give you
00:29:27.400 the details
00:29:27.780 in a second
00:29:28.320 welcome back
00:29:28.860 to the show
00:29:29.120 great to see
00:29:29.640 you again
00:29:30.080 thank you
00:29:30.500 Ezra
00:29:30.680 the history
00:29:32.140 of Canadian
00:29:33.080 civil liberties
00:29:34.760 I bet a lot
00:29:35.540 of people
00:29:35.900 in Canada
00:29:36.480 say
00:29:36.900 there is
00:29:37.700 no history
00:29:38.180 of civil liberties
00:29:38.860 that's an
00:29:39.520 American thing
00:29:40.500 there might
00:29:42.420 well be
00:29:42.960 such people
00:29:44.200 and they may
00:29:44.800 be numerous
00:29:45.280 but they would
00:29:45.820 not in that
00:29:46.420 case be correct
00:29:47.340 there is
00:29:47.900 such a history
00:29:48.580 and it's
00:29:49.020 a distinguished
00:29:49.520 history
00:29:49.980 Canada has
00:29:51.500 perhaps a
00:29:52.900 less well-known
00:29:53.760 history in
00:29:54.500 civil liberties
00:29:55.080 because it
00:29:55.700 hasn't been
00:29:56.180 as fiercely
00:29:56.940 contended
00:29:57.600 I mean there
00:29:58.460 have been
00:29:59.120 incidences
00:30:00.100 of abuse
00:30:01.620 of power
00:30:02.160 by governments
00:30:02.900 but they're
00:30:04.500 rarely as
00:30:05.440 violent or
00:30:06.340 evidently
00:30:07.400 oppressive
00:30:07.800 as in
00:30:08.480 countries that
00:30:09.160 have a
00:30:09.560 for example
00:30:10.260 legacy of
00:30:11.020 slavery
00:30:11.460 that sort
00:30:11.880 of thing
00:30:12.260 that's a
00:30:13.100 great point
00:30:13.740 now I think
00:30:14.900 most Canadians
00:30:15.520 know about the
00:30:16.180 chart of rights
00:30:16.820 and freedoms
00:30:17.360 that for many
00:30:18.360 years was
00:30:18.740 called the
00:30:19.220 essential
00:30:19.760 Canadian
00:30:20.240 identity
00:30:20.720 some people
00:30:21.660 a little bit
00:30:22.060 older might
00:30:22.500 remember
00:30:22.860 Diefenbaker's
00:30:23.740 bill of rights
00:30:24.660 even though it
00:30:25.400 didn't have the
00:30:26.020 same constitutional
00:30:27.380 status
00:30:28.140 well that's the
00:30:28.700 problem
00:30:28.980 civil rights are
00:30:31.360 essentially a
00:30:31.960 provincial matter
00:30:32.640 not a federal
00:30:33.180 one
00:30:33.520 but the history
00:30:35.200 of Canadian
00:30:35.620 civil liberties
00:30:36.120 goes back
00:30:36.820 even before
00:30:37.520 Canada was
00:30:38.340 officially
00:30:38.860 independent
00:30:39.380 right
00:30:39.700 yes indeed
00:30:40.460 it does
00:30:40.860 tell us a little
00:30:41.940 bit about
00:30:42.240 I don't want you
00:30:43.000 to give away
00:30:43.340 your speech
00:30:43.760 and I'm going
00:30:44.060 to tell folks
00:30:44.640 how they can
00:30:45.340 watch that
00:30:45.740 speech on
00:30:46.160 June 21
00:30:46.740 but give us
00:30:47.520 some ideas
00:30:48.060 of the history
00:30:48.900 well just
00:30:50.200 to go back
00:30:51.080 to all the
00:30:52.240 way back
00:30:52.700 to the
00:30:53.240 Battle of the
00:30:53.720 Plains of
00:30:54.100 Abraham
00:30:54.400 so you
00:30:54.980 know 1759
00:30:55.960 the British
00:30:56.940 took over
00:30:57.860 what was then
00:30:58.920 Canada was
00:30:59.480 really just
00:30:59.900 Quebec you
00:31:00.600 know and
00:31:00.960 and the
00:31:01.760 British already
00:31:02.480 had a
00:31:02.960 colony in
00:31:04.100 Nova Scotia
00:31:05.140 and what was
00:31:06.080 then Acadia
00:31:06.720 New Brunswick
00:31:07.280 but they
00:31:08.620 took over
00:31:09.180 Quebec in
00:31:09.860 17
00:31:10.440 in stages
00:31:11.640 but in the
00:31:12.060 early 1760s
00:31:13.260 and then
00:31:13.460 officially
00:31:13.860 gained
00:31:15.020 authority
00:31:15.440 over it
00:31:15.800 in 1763
00:31:16.720 and
00:31:17.540 and the
00:31:18.540 the
00:31:19.960 governor
00:31:21.000 not the
00:31:21.540 very first
00:31:22.120 governor
00:31:22.460 but the
00:31:22.800 first
00:31:23.040 long-term
00:31:23.700 governor
00:31:24.120 Sir Guy
00:31:24.740 Carleton
00:31:25.160 after Carleton
00:31:25.960 University
00:31:26.420 subsequently
00:31:28.000 his name
00:31:28.620 was Lord
00:31:28.920 Dorchester
00:31:29.540 it was the
00:31:30.180 same person
00:31:30.740 and of course
00:31:32.220 there are
00:31:32.400 Dorchester counties
00:31:33.440 and streets
00:31:34.060 and things
00:31:34.480 in various
00:31:35.240 places
00:31:35.540 well he
00:31:36.660 saw the
00:31:37.700 American
00:31:38.080 Revolution
00:31:38.620 coming
00:31:39.140 and he
00:31:40.220 was very
00:31:40.900 friendly with
00:31:41.620 the French
00:31:42.000 Canadians
00:31:42.480 and he
00:31:43.140 liked them
00:31:43.600 and they
00:31:43.840 liked him
00:31:44.420 and he
00:31:45.280 saw that
00:31:45.740 the only
00:31:46.000 way to
00:31:46.340 keep
00:31:46.720 French
00:31:48.280 Canada
00:31:49.120 Quebec
00:31:49.500 is it now
00:31:50.120 is from
00:31:50.820 gravitating
00:31:51.800 towards the
00:31:52.380 Americans
00:31:52.880 once the
00:31:53.800 revolution was
00:31:54.480 launched
00:31:54.800 you could
00:31:55.160 see it
00:31:55.460 coming
00:31:55.760 because of
00:31:56.260 the impasse
00:31:57.060 between
00:31:57.480 the
00:31:57.720 authorities
00:31:58.820 of the
00:31:59.640 American
00:32:00.540 authorities
00:32:01.100 and the
00:32:01.420 British
00:32:01.680 was to
00:32:03.760 assure
00:32:05.060 the French
00:32:06.400 Canadians
00:32:06.920 that they
00:32:07.680 could keep
00:32:08.760 their
00:32:09.780 civil
00:32:10.120 law
00:32:10.520 they
00:32:10.920 could
00:32:11.100 keep
00:32:11.480 their
00:32:11.720 religion
00:32:12.140 and they
00:32:12.640 could
00:32:12.860 which
00:32:13.640 was
00:32:13.860 you know
00:32:15.020 in the
00:32:15.820 English
00:32:16.120 part of
00:32:16.800 North
00:32:16.980 America
00:32:17.340 minority
00:32:17.860 religion
00:32:18.380 at that
00:32:18.680 time
00:32:18.900 and
00:32:19.620 they
00:32:20.100 could
00:32:20.780 keep
00:32:21.000 the
00:32:21.140 French
00:32:21.360 language
00:32:21.700 and that
00:32:22.140 was
00:32:22.400 the
00:32:22.900 great
00:32:23.220 fear
00:32:23.600 the
00:32:23.820 French
00:32:24.220 Canadians
00:32:24.900 had
00:32:25.260 and they've
00:32:25.620 had
00:32:25.820 intermittently
00:32:26.460 ever since
00:32:27.020 then
00:32:27.240 of being
00:32:27.820 assimilated
00:32:28.460 that all
00:32:28.800 of a
00:32:29.020 sudden
00:32:29.180 there
00:32:29.820 wouldn't
00:32:30.020 be
00:32:30.140 enough
00:32:30.440 of them
00:32:30.820 and they
00:32:31.380 wouldn't
00:32:31.560 have
00:32:31.720 enough
00:32:32.000 jurisdiction
00:32:32.660 to protect
00:32:33.660 their
00:32:33.900 culture
00:32:34.260 so he
00:32:35.400 promised
00:32:35.960 them
00:32:36.220 that
00:32:36.680 and on
00:32:37.080 that
00:32:37.300 basis
00:32:37.700 they
00:32:37.960 were
00:32:38.220 loyal
00:32:38.560 to the
00:32:38.920 to the
00:32:39.480 British
00:32:39.800 government
00:32:40.620 in the
00:32:41.740 American
00:32:42.080 Revolutionary
00:32:42.760 War
00:32:42.900 and in
00:32:43.220 the
00:32:43.300 War
00:32:43.420 of
00:32:43.520 1812
00:32:44.060 you know
00:32:44.540 I never
00:32:44.880 thought
00:32:45.160 of it
00:32:45.340 that way
00:32:45.620 I always
00:32:46.040 thought
00:32:46.240 of that
00:32:46.520 as well
00:32:46.920 let's
00:32:47.180 just
00:32:47.320 come
00:32:47.560 to
00:32:47.760 some
00:32:48.180 compromise
00:32:48.840 to
00:32:49.120 you know
00:32:50.100 a political
00:32:51.360 compromise
00:32:51.980 to end
00:32:52.880 a war
00:32:53.280 but it
00:32:54.000 wasn't just
00:32:54.560 a political
00:32:55.020 compromise
00:32:55.480 it was a
00:32:56.060 promise
00:32:56.400 of civil
00:32:56.960 rights
00:32:57.420 a promise
00:32:58.020 of civil
00:32:58.620 rights
00:32:59.020 and
00:33:00.100 admittedly
00:33:01.940 not
00:33:02.280 entirely
00:33:03.480 spontaneously
00:33:04.240 from
00:33:04.820 a love
00:33:05.600 of civil
00:33:06.060 rights
00:33:06.400 as such
00:33:06.780 perhaps
00:33:07.060 or being
00:33:07.700 psychologists
00:33:08.300 to get
00:33:09.460 some quiet
00:33:09.940 to try
00:33:11.520 and keep
00:33:12.080 Canada
00:33:12.620 and the
00:33:12.960 British
00:33:13.220 Empire
00:33:13.660 as the
00:33:14.640 Americans
00:33:15.040 might be
00:33:15.500 departing
00:33:15.960 the British
00:33:16.300 Empire
00:33:16.640 now
00:33:17.420 I mean
00:33:18.000 the UK
00:33:18.700 has been
00:33:20.000 a fountain
00:33:20.480 of the
00:33:21.340 rule of
00:33:21.740 law
00:33:22.140 and
00:33:22.960 I mean
00:33:23.560 so many
00:33:23.960 of our
00:33:24.480 freedoms
00:33:25.180 were inherited
00:33:26.080 from the UK
00:33:26.860 and so
00:33:28.080 were the
00:33:28.340 Americans
00:33:28.740 by the way
00:33:29.200 right
00:33:29.560 in those
00:33:31.360 early days
00:33:32.140 of Canada
00:33:32.800 did
00:33:34.260 Canadians
00:33:34.940 look to
00:33:35.640 the Americans
00:33:36.360 and say
00:33:37.640 they're
00:33:38.000 freer
00:33:38.600 down there
00:33:39.380 or after
00:33:40.120 the American
00:33:40.580 Revolution
00:33:41.100 did Canadians
00:33:41.800 say
00:33:42.120 they are
00:33:42.940 freer
00:33:43.480 down there
00:33:44.020 we want
00:33:44.460 some of
00:33:44.740 that up
00:33:45.080 here
00:33:45.280 or did
00:33:45.780 they think
00:33:46.080 they're
00:33:46.280 wilder
00:33:46.800 down there
00:33:47.180 what did
00:33:47.420 they say
00:33:47.680 well they
00:33:47.940 thought both
00:33:48.580 and they
00:33:49.740 didn't think
00:33:50.300 the second
00:33:50.780 was something
00:33:53.200 that they
00:33:53.600 envied or
00:33:54.120 wanted to
00:33:54.800 emulate
00:33:55.180 but they
00:33:56.260 did and
00:33:57.040 in particular
00:33:57.980 the Canadian
00:34:00.240 the native
00:34:00.920 Canadian
00:34:01.500 authorities
00:34:01.980 are not
00:34:02.320 now
00:34:02.600 going
00:34:03.200 past
00:34:03.780 the British
00:34:04.200 governors
00:34:04.620 but they
00:34:05.020 before
00:34:06.060 Canada
00:34:06.480 was
00:34:06.680 independent
00:34:07.120 Baldwin
00:34:07.700 and La Fontaine
00:34:08.620 and then
00:34:09.580 MacDonald
00:34:10.920 and Cartier
00:34:11.620 and George
00:34:12.140 Brown
00:34:12.440 just before
00:34:13.800 Confederation
00:34:14.440 they were
00:34:15.380 in the
00:34:15.620 delicate
00:34:15.920 position
00:34:16.480 of seeking
00:34:17.740 rights
00:34:19.320 in particular
00:34:21.120 elected
00:34:23.600 accountable
00:34:25.280 politicians
00:34:25.980 being in
00:34:26.880 charge of
00:34:27.300 everything
00:34:27.800 except
00:34:28.360 foreign
00:34:28.740 policy
00:34:29.220 which they
00:34:31.140 conceded
00:34:31.860 at that
00:34:32.280 point
00:34:32.580 was really
00:34:33.400 in the
00:34:33.640 hands of
00:34:33.960 the British
00:34:34.280 but everything
00:34:35.280 else
00:34:35.660 they didn't
00:34:36.180 want a
00:34:36.600 dictation
00:34:37.380 from the
00:34:37.860 British
00:34:38.120 governor
00:34:38.480 they wanted
00:34:38.920 to have
00:34:39.380 their own
00:34:39.760 elected
00:34:40.040 officials
00:34:40.500 as the
00:34:41.980 Americans
00:34:42.360 had
00:34:42.620 and as
00:34:42.920 the
00:34:43.040 British
00:34:43.240 had
00:34:43.520 after
00:34:44.160 the
00:34:44.440 first
00:34:44.860 reform
00:34:45.200 act
00:34:45.460 and
00:34:45.800 in
00:34:46.060 1832
00:34:46.980 so
00:34:47.620 what they
00:34:48.720 were saying
00:34:49.100 was we
00:34:49.400 want the
00:34:49.780 same
00:34:49.980 rights
00:34:50.320 as the
00:34:50.620 British
00:34:50.900 and the
00:34:51.260 Americans
00:34:51.760 you know
00:34:52.300 the people
00:34:52.760 have
00:34:53.060 in each
00:34:53.600 place
00:34:53.940 but they
00:34:54.900 couldn't
00:34:55.400 agitate
00:34:56.860 too much
00:34:57.540 because if
00:34:58.100 they did
00:34:58.560 the British
00:34:59.440 they feared
00:35:00.380 would make
00:35:00.760 a deal
00:35:01.200 with the
00:35:01.540 Americans
00:35:01.940 and give
00:35:02.440 the Americans
00:35:03.100 Canada
00:35:03.700 in exchange
00:35:04.300 for something
00:35:04.780 else
00:35:05.040 so they
00:35:05.880 had to
00:35:06.160 agitate
00:35:06.620 enough
00:35:07.100 to get
00:35:07.480 the attention
00:35:08.560 of the
00:35:08.860 British
00:35:09.060 but not
00:35:09.720 so much
00:35:10.300 that the
00:35:10.580 British
00:35:10.800 ruling
00:35:11.240 class
00:35:11.660 became
00:35:12.060 exasperated
00:35:12.720 with them
00:35:13.000 so you
00:35:13.540 had all
00:35:13.880 these
00:35:14.040 people
00:35:14.320 McDonald
00:35:14.760 in
00:35:15.020 particular
00:35:15.480 traipsing
00:35:16.420 over to
00:35:16.820 England
00:35:17.120 all through
00:35:17.940 the 1840s
00:35:18.960 and 50s
00:35:19.640 and early
00:35:19.960 60s
00:35:20.520 trying to
00:35:21.600 persuade
00:35:23.940 Palmerston
00:35:25.560 and Disraeli
00:35:26.320 and Gladstone
00:35:26.880 these British
00:35:27.300 statesmen
00:35:27.840 of how
00:35:29.960 to treat
00:35:30.400 Canada
00:35:30.740 fairly
00:35:31.100 and he
00:35:31.580 ultimately
00:35:31.920 was successful
00:35:32.760 now you
00:35:34.640 don't want to
00:35:35.000 put too much
00:35:35.760 as Shakespeare
00:35:36.200 said what's
00:35:36.760 in a name
00:35:37.320 just because
00:35:38.080 someone calls
00:35:38.640 himself
00:35:38.940 conservative
00:35:39.540 party
00:35:40.020 doesn't mean
00:35:40.760 they are
00:35:41.200 you have
00:35:41.880 oxymorons
00:35:43.100 like progressive
00:35:43.860 conservative
00:35:44.540 what even is
00:35:45.340 that
00:35:45.440 well exactly
00:35:46.980 so you don't
00:35:47.480 want to put
00:35:48.180 too much
00:35:48.520 meaning
00:35:48.760 in a name
00:35:49.260 but the
00:35:50.020 Liberal Party
00:35:50.740 of Canada
00:35:51.320 very old
00:35:52.080 party
00:35:52.420 the Liberal
00:35:53.000 Party
00:35:53.420 did that
00:35:55.020 have a
00:35:55.380 meaning
00:35:55.640 in the
00:35:56.280 root of
00:35:56.540 that word
00:35:56.860 liberty
00:35:57.420 freedom
00:35:57.980 the Latin
00:35:58.780 that comes
00:36:00.400 from the
00:36:00.740 word for
00:36:01.100 freedom
00:36:01.460 did they
00:36:02.580 historically
00:36:03.180 see themselves
00:36:04.020 as the
00:36:04.420 party of
00:36:04.900 freedom
00:36:05.180 to a
00:36:09.100 degree
00:36:09.460 yes
00:36:09.900 they were
00:36:10.240 not a
00:36:11.220 Whig
00:36:11.460 party
00:36:11.920 I mean
00:36:12.480 the British
00:36:13.320 liberals
00:36:13.860 Mr. Gladstone's
00:36:15.560 party had
00:36:16.020 been the Whigs
00:36:16.760 and the
00:36:17.480 going back
00:36:18.160 to Walpole
00:36:18.760 and the
00:36:19.740 American
00:36:20.300 Republican
00:36:21.420 party
00:36:21.900 had been
00:36:22.440 Whigs
00:36:22.960 under
00:36:23.780 well the
00:36:24.700 only
00:36:24.880 presidents
00:36:25.380 they had
00:36:25.820 were
00:36:26.180 William H
00:36:27.840 Harrison
00:36:28.240 and Zachary
00:36:28.880 Taylor
00:36:29.140 but
00:36:29.760 Henry Clay
00:36:31.400 for example
00:36:31.960 was a famous
00:36:32.500 Whig
00:36:32.760 ran three
00:36:33.220 times for
00:36:33.800 president
00:36:34.200 but
00:36:34.540 in
00:36:35.620 Canada
00:36:36.740 you're
00:36:37.120 quite right
00:36:37.840 the Liberal
00:36:38.880 Party
00:36:39.280 wasn't a
00:36:40.160 successor
00:36:40.660 to Whigs
00:36:41.300 which are
00:36:41.640 really
00:36:41.900 in Britain
00:36:42.800 noblemen
00:36:43.480 but
00:36:43.720 trying to
00:36:44.820 take more
00:36:45.300 rights
00:36:45.660 from the
00:36:46.020 king
00:36:46.300 they
00:36:47.360 the
00:36:47.960 Liberals
00:36:48.620 were
00:36:49.040 they
00:36:51.540 were
00:36:52.060 a kind
00:36:53.100 of
00:36:53.220 middle
00:36:53.460 class
00:36:53.880 party
00:36:54.320 without
00:36:55.440 connections
00:36:56.400 to the
00:36:56.840 aristocracy
00:36:57.540 and
00:36:58.300 it was
00:36:59.380 founded
00:36:59.720 by Mr.
00:37:00.380 Blake
00:37:00.820 who
00:37:01.800 was not
00:37:04.060 successful
00:37:04.600 running
00:37:05.000 twice
00:37:05.460 in general
00:37:05.960 elections
00:37:06.320 against
00:37:06.740 John A.
00:37:07.240 MacDonald
00:37:07.580 but
00:37:08.220 he
00:37:08.520 he did
00:37:10.980 his great
00:37:11.820 contribution
00:37:12.380 to Canada
00:37:12.880 was he
00:37:13.200 effectively
00:37:13.640 chose
00:37:14.120 Laurier
00:37:14.560 as
00:37:14.820 successor
00:37:15.520 but
00:37:15.820 that
00:37:16.360 was
00:37:16.920 their
00:37:17.100 program
00:37:17.480 you're
00:37:17.700 right
00:37:17.860 it was
00:37:18.700 liberal
00:37:19.080 in the
00:37:19.460 sense
00:37:19.760 of
00:37:20.020 liberalizing
00:37:21.700 yes
00:37:22.160 I mean
00:37:22.840 Laurier
00:37:23.220 I think
00:37:23.500 you talked
00:37:23.900 about
00:37:24.140 freedom
00:37:24.500 freedom
00:37:24.880 is
00:37:25.080 Canada's
00:37:25.520 nationality
00:37:26.220 freedom
00:37:26.560 is
00:37:26.780 who
00:37:26.880 we
00:37:27.040 are
00:37:27.220 I
00:37:27.600 think
00:37:27.760 he meant
00:37:28.480 it
00:37:29.000 I
00:37:29.360 sure
00:37:29.680 did
00:37:29.980 did
00:37:31.200 he
00:37:31.820 do
00:37:32.040 things
00:37:32.480 to
00:37:32.700 promote
00:37:33.020 it
00:37:33.160 did
00:37:33.340 he
00:37:33.500 chide
00:37:35.080 those
00:37:35.520 who
00:37:35.720 would
00:37:35.960 be
00:37:36.380 too
00:37:36.880 authoritarian
00:37:37.500 what
00:37:38.340 is
00:37:38.540 his
00:37:38.880 track
00:37:39.220 record
00:37:39.440 as
00:37:39.720 the
00:37:39.920 liberal
00:37:40.260 big
00:37:41.520 boss
00:37:41.840 he's
00:37:42.040 still
00:37:42.220 hailed
00:37:44.660 as
00:37:44.840 the
00:37:44.980 great
00:37:45.200 liberal
00:37:45.560 of
00:37:45.920 Canadian
00:37:46.460 history
00:37:46.820 what
00:37:47.360 did
00:37:47.480 he
00:37:47.560 do
00:37:47.700 for
00:37:47.840 freedom
00:37:48.140 well
00:37:48.600 he
00:37:49.160 a
00:37:51.060 number
00:37:51.320 of
00:37:51.500 things
00:37:51.720 he
00:37:52.240 supported
00:37:56.120 the
00:37:57.380 secular
00:37:58.740 egalitarianism
00:38:00.440 of incoming
00:38:01.080 provinces
00:38:01.720 Manitoba
00:38:02.440 and then
00:38:02.920 later
00:38:03.380 Alberta
00:38:03.800 and
00:38:04.380 Saskatchewan
00:38:05.120 and
00:38:07.440 overcame
00:38:08.500 what
00:38:08.700 were
00:38:08.920 religious
00:38:09.640 tensions
00:38:10.200 at the
00:38:10.580 time
00:38:10.900 even
00:38:11.360 though
00:38:11.640 of course
00:38:12.120 most
00:38:12.580 of his
00:38:13.060 fellow
00:38:14.260 French
00:38:14.620 Canadians
00:38:15.080 were
00:38:15.540 Roman
00:38:16.160 Catholics
00:38:16.620 he
00:38:16.920 somewhat
00:38:18.320 demoted
00:38:19.140 the status
00:38:19.760 of the
00:38:20.140 Catholic
00:38:20.440 Church
00:38:20.780 in these
00:38:21.220 new
00:38:21.440 provinces
00:38:21.880 secondly
00:38:23.900 I mean
00:38:25.100 not
00:38:25.380 to the
00:38:25.980 point
00:38:26.240 of
00:38:26.460 you know
00:38:27.520 he
00:38:27.680 wasn't
00:38:28.380 against
00:38:28.920 religious
00:38:29.300 practice
00:38:29.740 but he
00:38:30.060 was
00:38:30.660 drawing a
00:38:31.480 clear line
00:38:32.020 in secular
00:38:32.660 and ecclesiastical
00:38:33.660 authority
00:38:34.060 and secondly
00:38:35.540 he was
00:38:38.040 quite
00:38:38.820 adamant
00:38:39.820 in minority
00:38:40.520 rights
00:38:41.000 he famously
00:38:41.640 said
00:38:42.140 when
00:38:42.940 a
00:38:43.720 permit
00:38:44.360 for the
00:38:44.980 Salvation
00:38:46.040 Army
00:38:46.380 to stage
00:38:46.900 a parade
00:38:47.380 in Montreal
00:38:47.880 is withheld
00:38:48.540 he insisted
00:38:49.620 that that
00:38:50.240 be revisited
00:38:51.440 that they be
00:38:52.020 given the
00:38:52.540 permit
00:38:52.860 and he
00:38:53.540 said
00:38:54.040 for all
00:38:54.820 to hear
00:38:55.240 and it was
00:38:55.580 quoted
00:38:55.860 everywhere
00:38:56.460 in Canada
00:38:57.040 I will
00:38:58.480 lead that
00:38:59.160 parade
00:38:59.540 myself
00:39:00.180 if necessary
00:39:01.000 to demonstrate
00:39:02.020 that all
00:39:02.640 such
00:39:02.980 people have
00:39:04.340 a right
00:39:04.720 peaceably
00:39:05.520 to
00:39:05.800 that's a
00:39:06.460 great story
00:39:07.000 I bet you
00:39:07.640 99.9%
00:39:09.200 of the Canadians
00:39:09.720 don't know
00:39:10.120 that story
00:39:10.580 for him
00:39:11.660 to say
00:39:12.020 I will
00:39:12.560 I will be
00:39:13.900 the front
00:39:14.200 of that
00:39:14.400 protest
00:39:14.760 if it's
00:39:15.160 not allowed
00:39:15.640 like that's
00:39:16.180 that's
00:39:17.200 almost
00:39:17.460 impossible
00:39:18.040 to imagine
00:39:18.680 it was a
00:39:20.100 very brave
00:39:20.560 thing to say
00:39:21.140 and he
00:39:22.320 meant it
00:39:22.740 and the
00:39:24.160 other thing
00:39:24.840 I would
00:39:25.120 say is
00:39:25.800 as we
00:39:28.800 got closer
00:39:29.440 to World
00:39:29.900 War I
00:39:30.500 and the
00:39:32.000 tensions
00:39:32.420 in Europe
00:39:33.020 between the
00:39:34.020 alliance of
00:39:35.080 Britain
00:39:35.340 France
00:39:35.780 and Russia
00:39:36.300 and the
00:39:36.800 Germans
00:39:38.020 and Austro-Hungarians
00:39:39.180 and to some
00:39:39.920 degree Italy
00:39:40.440 became more
00:39:41.840 tense
00:39:42.700 the British
00:39:43.660 put great
00:39:44.420 emphasis on
00:39:45.200 imperial
00:39:45.700 solidarity
00:39:46.440 you know
00:39:47.460 they essentially
00:39:48.200 wanted Canada
00:39:49.080 and Australia
00:39:49.720 and New Zealand
00:39:50.560 and South Africa
00:39:51.400 to be extensions
00:39:52.300 of Britain
00:39:52.860 for the purposes
00:39:53.600 of providing
00:39:54.900 money to
00:39:55.480 you know
00:39:56.380 build navies
00:39:57.240 and provide
00:39:58.300 soldiers
00:39:58.760 and so forth
00:39:59.340 and Laurier
00:40:00.880 led the
00:40:01.820 forces at
00:40:03.020 the empire
00:40:04.560 premiers meetings
00:40:06.020 prime ministers
00:40:06.600 meetings
00:40:07.000 of autonomy
00:40:08.400 for the
00:40:08.960 dominions
00:40:09.500 and said
00:40:10.460 you know
00:40:10.740 of course
00:40:11.580 we want
00:40:11.940 to help
00:40:12.280 Britain
00:40:12.620 but these
00:40:14.340 are our
00:40:14.680 decisions
00:40:15.140 and not
00:40:15.560 yours
00:40:15.900 and we're
00:40:17.260 not
00:40:17.480 you know
00:40:18.460 we're not
00:40:18.800 surrendering
00:40:19.320 that
00:40:19.620 autonomy
00:40:22.020 that we've
00:40:22.600 earned
00:40:22.840 and that
00:40:23.940 that isn't
00:40:25.160 directly
00:40:25.920 civil liberties
00:40:27.360 in the sense
00:40:27.980 it's usually
00:40:28.420 meant
00:40:28.720 but it
00:40:29.200 was preserving
00:40:30.280 the collective
00:40:31.180 liberty of
00:40:31.840 this country
00:40:32.340 and I
00:40:33.400 would
00:40:33.600 with that
00:40:35.740 qualification
00:40:36.340 put it into
00:40:36.940 the category
00:40:37.440 of things
00:40:37.820 responding to
00:40:38.440 your question
00:40:38.880 and how
00:40:39.600 about
00:40:39.860 the Supreme
00:40:40.780 Court
00:40:41.200 for
00:40:42.180 for the
00:40:42.760 longest time
00:40:43.280 in the
00:40:43.500 United States
00:40:44.300 I don't
00:40:44.820 think the
00:40:45.160 Supreme
00:40:45.440 Court
00:40:45.720 had its
00:40:46.320 power and
00:40:47.440 prestige
00:40:47.880 that it
00:40:48.240 has now
00:40:48.760 I mean
00:40:49.080 there were
00:40:50.320 people who
00:40:50.960 rejected
00:40:52.160 an appointment
00:40:53.160 to the
00:40:53.960 Supreme
00:40:54.340 Court
00:40:54.600 in the
00:40:54.820 States
00:40:55.000 I don't
00:40:56.020 think it
00:40:56.340 had the
00:40:56.860 prestige
00:40:57.540 and glamour
00:40:58.180 and power
00:40:59.220 that it's
00:40:59.680 given now
00:41:00.280 I think it's
00:41:00.780 fluctuating
00:41:01.280 sometimes it
00:41:02.060 did and
00:41:02.360 sometimes not
00:41:03.040 how about
00:41:03.440 in Canada
00:41:04.060 I don't
00:41:04.880 think we
00:41:05.160 talk about
00:41:05.700 our Supreme
00:41:06.140 Court a lot
00:41:06.640 but it
00:41:06.900 actually makes
00:41:07.420 an enormous
00:41:07.840 number of
00:41:08.180 decisions
00:41:08.580 and I
00:41:09.300 don't think
00:41:09.580 it's
00:41:09.780 scrutinized
00:41:10.320 as much
00:41:10.700 as the
00:41:10.940 American
00:41:11.240 system
00:41:11.560 is
00:41:11.740 because
00:41:11.880 we
00:41:12.000 don't
00:41:12.120 have
00:41:12.180 the
00:41:12.260 confirmation
00:41:12.560 hearing
00:41:12.920 but let
00:41:13.420 me ask
00:41:13.740 you
00:41:13.880 has it
00:41:14.540 been a
00:41:14.860 force
00:41:15.120 for
00:41:15.500 freedom
00:41:15.920 or has
00:41:16.760 it been
00:41:17.020 a force
00:41:17.560 putting a
00:41:18.420 brake
00:41:18.720 on freedom
00:41:19.280 I think
00:41:20.580 in general
00:41:21.200 it has been
00:41:22.080 a force
00:41:22.420 for freedom
00:41:22.860 you'll
00:41:23.400 keep in
00:41:24.080 mind
00:41:24.300 that there
00:41:24.700 was an
00:41:25.100 appeal
00:41:25.440 beyond the
00:41:26.040 Supreme
00:41:26.320 Court of
00:41:26.720 Canada
00:41:27.040 to the
00:41:27.380 British
00:41:27.660 the law
00:41:29.040 lords
00:41:29.460 of the
00:41:29.780 British
00:41:30.000 Council
00:41:30.580 and that
00:41:32.200 was only
00:41:32.680 abolished
00:41:33.340 in the
00:41:34.680 late
00:41:34.840 40s
00:41:35.600 Mr.
00:41:36.240 King
00:41:36.680 and a lot
00:41:38.100 of pressure
00:41:38.520 from Quebec
00:41:39.140 in that
00:41:39.500 and by
00:41:40.740 the way
00:41:40.980 Quebec
00:41:41.300 wanted to
00:41:42.120 retain that
00:41:42.760 because they
00:41:43.140 thought
00:41:43.500 Quebec
00:41:44.140 historically
00:41:44.800 thought
00:41:45.080 the
00:41:45.280 British
00:41:45.660 the
00:41:47.460 legal
00:41:47.960 section
00:41:48.420 of the
00:41:48.680 British
00:41:48.860 Privy
00:41:49.140 Council
00:41:49.500 was a
00:41:49.900 better
00:41:50.200 defender
00:41:50.720 of
00:41:51.020 political
00:41:51.440 rights
00:41:52.240 of the
00:41:52.600 province
00:41:53.040 than the
00:41:54.080 Supreme
00:41:54.540 Court
00:41:54.820 because
00:41:55.900 you know
00:41:56.300 it's
00:41:57.020 appointed
00:41:57.460 justices
00:41:58.300 are appointed
00:41:58.760 entirely
00:41:59.260 by the
00:41:59.640 federal
00:41:59.840 government
00:42:00.200 but
00:42:00.960 I would
00:42:03.760 say that
00:42:04.180 in general
00:42:04.640 the Supreme
00:42:05.080 Court
00:42:05.320 has had
00:42:05.640 a good
00:42:05.880 record
00:42:06.180 of defending
00:42:06.720 civil rights
00:42:07.380 in this
00:42:07.640 country
00:42:07.940 definitely
00:42:10.220 so
00:42:10.580 and you're
00:42:11.060 quite right
00:42:11.640 I mean
00:42:11.920 the US
00:42:13.300 Supreme
00:42:13.720 Court
00:42:14.080 for example
00:42:14.640 under
00:42:14.960 Roger
00:42:15.680 Taney
00:42:16.360 approved
00:42:16.960 the
00:42:17.260 elaborate
00:42:19.660 regime
00:42:20.280 chasing
00:42:20.960 fugitive
00:42:21.980 slaves
00:42:22.500 this kind
00:42:22.940 of thing
00:42:23.260 I mean
00:42:23.800 it was
00:42:24.000 really
00:42:24.260 quite
00:42:24.680 reactionary
00:42:25.620 and
00:42:25.740 reprehensible
00:42:26.420 now it was
00:42:26.920 all part
00:42:27.360 of a
00:42:27.660 compromise
00:42:28.340 to keep
00:42:28.900 the
00:42:29.060 American
00:42:29.380 Union
00:42:29.880 going
00:42:30.680 for the
00:42:31.120 last
00:42:31.380 10
00:42:31.680 years
00:42:31.940 before
00:42:32.220 the
00:42:32.440 Civil
00:42:32.660 War
00:42:32.920 but
00:42:33.120 it was
00:42:33.760 a
00:42:33.920 shameful
00:42:34.780 interpretation
00:42:36.460 of the
00:42:37.000 law
00:42:37.280 in the
00:42:38.180 opinion
00:42:38.520 of
00:42:38.720 posterity
00:42:39.340 well I'm
00:42:41.000 excited that
00:42:41.600 you are
00:42:42.080 addressing
00:42:42.640 this issue
00:42:43.320 because I
00:42:43.740 feel it's
00:42:44.140 a real
00:42:44.440 gap
00:42:44.840 and I
00:42:45.880 think one
00:42:46.240 of the
00:42:46.440 reasons
00:42:46.780 that the
00:42:47.280 last two
00:42:47.800 years
00:42:48.240 Canada
00:42:49.100 has not
00:42:50.520 fought in
00:42:51.440 my opinion
00:42:51.920 hard enough
00:42:52.540 for civil
00:42:52.980 liberties
00:42:53.280 there was
00:42:53.620 not enough
00:42:54.440 political
00:42:54.880 opposition
00:42:55.360 to some
00:42:56.540 of the
00:42:56.900 tactics
00:42:57.660 of the
00:42:58.000 lockdowns
00:42:58.760 that there's
00:42:59.380 not enough
00:42:59.820 opposition to
00:43:00.620 the censorship
00:43:01.160 plans of
00:43:01.820 Trudeau
00:43:02.120 I feel
00:43:02.680 it's
00:43:02.900 because
00:43:03.400 certain
00:43:05.160 institutions
00:43:05.760 have forgotten
00:43:06.840 their
00:43:07.500 freedom
00:43:08.660 roots
00:43:09.260 I think
00:43:10.280 that is
00:43:10.660 true
00:43:10.860 and I'd
00:43:11.140 add one
00:43:11.480 thing
00:43:11.760 we have
00:43:12.940 to some
00:43:13.400 extent
00:43:13.860 been
00:43:14.340 sidelined
00:43:15.940 by this
00:43:17.080 issue
00:43:17.500 of the
00:43:17.880 native
00:43:18.080 people
00:43:18.580 and I
00:43:20.000 want to
00:43:20.560 be clear
00:43:20.960 I think
00:43:21.300 the native
00:43:21.680 people have
00:43:22.260 a legitimate
00:43:22.720 grievance
00:43:23.260 and we
00:43:23.460 have to
00:43:23.760 do better
00:43:24.160 I would
00:43:24.520 state that
00:43:25.460 at the
00:43:25.700 outset
00:43:25.980 but
00:43:26.260 the
00:43:27.360 courts
00:43:28.280 have
00:43:28.520 become
00:43:28.900 not just
00:43:29.700 the
00:43:29.880 Supreme
00:43:30.200 Court
00:43:30.460 but the
00:43:31.240 appellate
00:43:31.800 courts
00:43:32.180 generally
00:43:32.640 in the
00:43:32.960 West
00:43:33.260 have
00:43:33.840 become
00:43:34.100 so
00:43:34.540 preoccupied
00:43:35.440 with
00:43:35.620 these
00:43:35.860 issues
00:43:36.260 that
00:43:37.060 they
00:43:37.560 focused
00:43:38.100 more
00:43:38.480 on
00:43:38.720 that
00:43:39.000 and
00:43:39.140 that
00:43:39.340 has
00:43:39.500 tended
00:43:39.860 to
00:43:40.120 diminish
00:43:40.460 the
00:43:40.700 rights
00:43:40.960 of
00:43:41.120 everybody
00:43:41.500 else
00:43:41.800 to some
00:43:42.160 extent
00:43:42.500 and
00:43:43.360 I
00:43:44.240 think
00:43:44.760 we've
00:43:45.180 got
00:43:45.380 the
00:43:45.600 tail
00:43:46.020 wagging
00:43:46.520 the
00:43:46.680 dog
00:43:46.920 in
00:43:47.080 some
00:43:47.240 of
00:43:47.380 these
00:43:47.520 sense
00:43:47.740 my
00:43:48.420 point
00:43:49.480 about
00:43:49.800 the
00:43:50.240 Indian
00:43:50.660 Act
00:43:50.980 as it's
00:43:51.360 still
00:43:51.540 called
00:43:51.900 is that
00:43:52.760 it
00:43:53.160 is an
00:43:54.500 intolerable
00:43:55.300 restriction
00:43:56.560 on
00:43:57.220 very
00:43:57.900 basic
00:43:58.240 civil
00:43:58.540 rights
00:43:58.920 of people
00:43:59.640 on
00:43:59.900 those
00:44:00.120 bands
00:44:00.380 but we'll
00:44:00.700 talk about
00:44:01.160 that
00:44:01.380 another
00:44:01.880 day
00:44:02.260 I want
00:44:02.980 to look

00:45:46.860 know the
00:45:47.200 situation
00:45:47.620 over there
00:45:48.120 but I
00:45:48.700 think
00:45:48.900 I
00:45:49.020 know
00:45:49.160 one
00:45:49.420 thing
00:45:49.800 in
00:45:50.900 the
00:45:51.040 UK
00:45:51.280 it
00:45:51.560 cannot
00:45:51.840 be
00:45:52.080 attributed
00:45:52.500 to
00:45:52.860 pandemic
00:45:53.480 era
00:45:54.000 regulations
00:45:54.780 in
00:45:55.660 Canada
00:45:56.100 you
00:45:56.780 have
00:45:57.020 to
00:45:57.200 prove
00:45:57.880 that
00:45:58.500 you're
00:45:58.700 vaxxed
00:45:59.060 to get
00:45:59.340 on a
00:45:59.640 plane
00:45:59.820 you have
00:46:00.100 to
00:46:00.240 prove
00:46:00.620 that
00:46:00.920 you're
00:46:01.080 vaxxed
00:46:01.380 to get
00:46:01.660 into
00:46:01.920 the
00:46:02.080 country
00:46:02.380 I
00:46:03.080 don't
00:46:03.320 believe
00:46:03.680 those
00:46:03.960 are
00:46:04.060 the
00:46:04.180 rules
00:46:04.380 in
00:46:04.540 the
00:46:04.660 UK
00:46:04.900 and
00:46:05.320 I
00:46:05.440 know
00:46:05.600 they're
00:46:05.760 not
00:46:05.920 the
00:46:06.200 case
00:46:06.740 for
00:46:06.900 most
00:46:07.100 places
00:46:07.420 in
00:46:07.600 the
00:46:07.700 world
00:46:07.940 so
00:46:08.820 there
00:46:09.420 may
00:46:09.580 be
00:46:09.720 problems
00:46:10.060 in
00:46:10.220 the
00:46:10.340 UK
00:46:10.540 but
00:46:10.760 I
00:46:10.960 would
00:46:11.340 be
00:46:11.600 doubtful
00:46:12.460 that
00:46:12.640 they
00:46:12.820 are
00:46:13.060 as
00:46:13.400 bad
00:46:13.620 as
00:46:13.760 they
00:46:13.860 are
00:46:13.980 in
00:46:14.100 Canada
00:46:14.280 could
00:46:14.460 be
00:46:14.560 wrong
00:46:14.800 Elizabeth

00:50:23.480 fine
00:50:23.800 if

00:50:24.380 he

00:50:24.720 convicted
00:50:25.200 yesterday
00:50:25.680 Tuesday
00:50:26.120 was
00:50:26.480 day
00:50:27.140 two
00:50:27.360 of a
00:50:27.620 three-day
00:50:27.980 trial
00:50:28.400 the
00:50:28.620 crown
00:50:28.840 is
00:50:29.000 calling
00:50:29.260 up
00:50:29.400 to
00:50:29.520 nine
00:50:29.780 witnesses
00:50:30.180 to
00:50:30.460 testify
00:50:30.840 to
00:50:31.340 things
00:50:31.620 that
00:50:31.840 art
00:50:32.060 already
00:50:32.440 admits
00:50:32.880 that
00:50:33.080 he
00:50:33.220 did
00:50:33.460 he
00:50:33.600 just
00:50:33.820 doesn't
00:50:34.060 think
00:50:34.280 that
00:50:34.440 they
00:50:34.580 were
00:50:34.780 illegal
00:50:35.380 and
00:50:36.180 this
00:50:36.360 is
00:50:36.520 particularly
00:50:37.020 outrageous
00:50:37.700 since
00:50:38.200 Alberta
00:50:38.680 is
00:50:38.920 short
00:50:39.140 staffed
00:50:39.760 on
00:50:39.980 prosecutors
00:50:40.520 and
00:50:41.020 it's
00:50:41.200 causing
00:50:41.440 a
00:50:41.600 problem
00:50:41.880 with
00:50:42.300 real
00:50:42.580 charges
00:50:42.940 for
00:50:43.160 real
00:50:43.520 crimes
00:50:43.940 being
00:50:44.200 dropped
00:50:44.580 because
00:50:44.960 they
00:50:45.220 are
00:50:45.360 going
00:50:45.640 beyond
00:50:46.000 the
00:50:46.180 constitutional
00:50:46.680 time
00:50:47.160 limit
00:50:47.460 to
00:50:47.940 get
00:50:48.140 to
00:50:48.340 trial
00:50:48.700 now
00:50:49.220 on

00:50:56.600 long
00:50:57.200 boring
