Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hi, everybody. Ezra Levant here from our world headquarters in Toronto. Pleasure to be with
00:00:19.860 you today. And my thanks to Sheila Gunn-Reed and David Menzies, who have been hosting the
00:00:23.780 show on Fridays. We've decided to move away from the daily podcast because we made a decision,
00:00:29.660 I think it's the right one, that the news on the streets is where our people should be,
00:00:34.380 especially mission specialist David Menzies. And wouldn't you agree with me that he has been on
00:00:39.060 fire over the last few weeks with the bizarre case of a 50-year-old man who hasn't had his twig and
00:00:48.320 berries removed, who claims to be not just a woman, but a little girl, and who insists on
00:00:55.000 joining the otters swim club and going swimming with these girls, these teenage girls, some as
00:01:03.140 young as 13 or even younger, I think. And that's bizarre and gross and unsportsmanlike and stupid
00:01:10.480 and unnatural to begin with. But then he goes into the changing room with the girls. He goes into the
00:01:16.780 changing room and with the locker room and with the showers. And we're, as you know, in the locker room,
00:01:23.360 that's where people get naked to change in and out of their swimming suit. And this 50-year-old man
00:01:29.440 goes in there and that's the whole damn point of it. That's why he's doing it. He has a sexual fetish
00:01:36.220 that the changing room is the essential part of the experience. Obviously to be with the other girls,
00:01:44.580 the teenage girls, to pretend that he's one of them, to be affirmed in that psychological fantasy of
00:01:50.380 his, is very valuable to him. But being let in the actual changing room is essential for him.
00:02:00.760 And our David Menzies has been on the case of that extremist. That's what he is. And in other eras,
00:02:09.420 I mean, I don't support vigilantism, but I think that in other eras, if some 50-year-old man
00:02:21.120 had decided to swim in a swim meet with 13-year-old girls, it would not have been allowed.
00:02:28.500 Had the person persisted, the dads would have gotten involved. And had the 50-year-old not
00:02:35.800 removed himself. In fact, had a 50-year-old male been found naked in the women's change room,
00:02:41.840 there probably would have been fists flying. I want to show you a little bit of David's latest
00:02:46.820 report. David is on fire and his videos are getting a million views each, which in this era
00:02:52.240 of our channel being throttled by YouTube is quite something. Let me play a little bit about David's
00:02:58.160 latest. And then we're going to talk about the news of the day. We're going to talk about this
00:03:00.660 insane decision by the city of Toronto to erase 200 years of history and cancel a long-dead statesman
00:03:09.200 named Henry Dundas by renaming the famous young Dundas Square and Subway Station, renaming
00:03:18.980 Sankofa. And I thought, well, I think there was some coffee, some instant brand of coffee called
00:03:25.400 Sankofa or something. Sanka. Sanka, that's right. And it's just, and I guess it's the stupidest thing
00:03:32.560 I've ever heard. So obviously it's a high priority for Olivia Chow, the mayor of Toronto. But I just
00:03:38.420 want to show you what David has been up to since we've liberated him from the daily requirement of
00:03:43.660 doing the Lime Stream. Let me show you, we'll play a couple minutes of it from his latest video on
00:03:48.340 this 50-year-old man who doesn't even pretend to be a woman. His hair is long and he wears girls
00:03:55.520 swimming attire. But other than that, he's a man, man. Take a look at this.
00:04:04.720 50-year-old man changing with 13-year-old girls. Do you have a record of sexual perversion?
00:04:10.200 Protect me from these people. By the way, you mothers, you have no problem with a 50-year-old male
00:04:14.980 showering with your daughters. You're not going to answer any questions? Would you like to talk
00:04:23.280 off the record later? I can accommodate that if you're afraid of cancel culture.
00:04:28.800 You are breaking the rules. Now, please, can you take that out of my face? I do not consent to be
00:04:33.720 interviewed or on film. So please exit the building. Well, you're the star interview so far. So thank you
00:04:39.240 for that. Are you going to do anything about a 50-year-old man showering with 13-year-old girls?
00:04:45.820 That's against the law, actually.
00:04:48.360 Do young ladies have any trouble with mature males swimming with the girls?
00:04:52.980 Really?
00:04:53.580 Yeah.
00:04:54.100 No.
00:04:54.700 No? Really? Okay.
00:04:57.180 She goes on her chamber. I see her in the mornings.
00:05:00.400 Oh, okay. And she doesn't go on your chamber?
00:05:02.840 She does.
00:05:03.580 Oh, okay.
00:05:04.100 You see, folks, this is exactly the problem. These are mothers. You'd think they'd be in
00:05:08.360 mama bear mode, you know, a potential sexual predator. How else can you describe a 50-year-old
00:05:14.540 man changing and showering with girls as young as 13? They don't care.
00:05:21.540 I'm going to grab your names.
00:05:22.840 Sure. I can ask why.
00:05:24.660 I'm an operator here that works here.
00:05:39.000 Are you a security guard?
00:05:40.620 No, I work here.
00:05:41.440 Why are you asking us to leave?
00:05:44.020 Because you're videotaping people in the pool swimming.
00:05:46.480 We weren't videotaping before.
00:05:48.080 Camera videotaping me right now.
00:05:49.480 Right.
00:05:49.960 Yeah, so leave the building.
00:05:51.440 Well, I've got news for you. There is a 50-year-old man pretending to be a 13-year-old girl,
00:05:56.520 showering and changing with the real biological woman. Do you have a problem with that?
00:06:02.920 Leave the building.
00:06:04.240 Leave the building.
00:06:05.760 Okay. I don't have your name. I don't see any ID.
00:06:09.160 You need to go.
00:06:10.140 Okay.
00:06:10.940 You can get that on my face. You can go or the cops will come and take you out.
00:06:14.680 Really?
00:06:15.040 I've asked you to leave.
00:06:16.300 So I need to leave.
00:06:17.300 Ladies, what do you think? I think you're mothers with orange velader swimmers.
00:06:22.160 Let's go. Let's go.
00:06:24.660 I don't think so.
00:06:27.120 No.
00:06:28.200 All right. I'll go call the cops.
00:06:29.300 Okay. Call the cops.
00:06:30.180 You know what? I'm going to call the cops too.
00:06:32.080 That there's a 50-year-old pervert swimming with girls.
00:06:38.320 You know, it goes on and I encourage you to watch the whole thing.
00:06:41.160 It's just incredible.
00:06:41.900 I'm not sure if the URL works, but it's transmadness.com working.
00:06:46.760 Yeah, it's live. Transmadness.com.
00:06:48.360 We've done so many stories in this vein that we've got a vanity URL.
00:06:52.680 Transmadness.com.
00:06:54.940 You know, David Menzies mentioned that mother bear instinct.
00:07:00.160 It is a genetic instinct to protect your young.
00:07:03.860 We see it in nature.
00:07:05.020 I mean, God forbid you come between a mama bear and her cubs.
00:07:08.800 That's the most dangerous place to be.
00:07:10.960 Forget about the male bears, that mama bear.
00:07:15.180 When you're between her and her cubs, that's not a good place to be.
00:07:18.840 And you saw the mama bears there watching the swimming from upstairs while a man, 50 years old, with his full twig and berries, was cavorting, swimming, splashing, wearing a girl's bathing suit.
00:07:32.020 And that didn't move the needle for them.
00:07:34.560 Nothing deep inside them.
00:07:36.200 No millennia-old instinct, a thousand generations of maternal concern.
00:07:43.200 Nothing just registered.
00:07:44.460 Or if they did, they managed to swallow it up and swallow it down, just keep it in.
00:07:48.740 And the dads, I mean, it looked like they were mainly moms there.
00:07:51.200 That's how it is often.
00:07:52.560 Dads are working while moms go to these things.
00:07:54.840 It's not always that way.
00:07:55.840 But it looked, in this case, like it was that way.
00:07:58.600 Where are the dads?
00:07:59.800 I think there were some dads that David did interview.
00:08:03.580 And where the hell are they?
00:08:05.200 There's nothing in them.
00:08:07.200 They don't feel like something's odd.
00:08:10.120 There's no stranger danger.
00:08:11.440 You know, we teach kids, stranger danger, don't talk to strangers.
00:08:14.680 Don't go into the van marked free hugs.
00:08:17.180 Don't take candy from strangers.
00:08:19.180 Don't take gifts from strangers.
00:08:20.460 Don't talk to strangers.
00:08:22.320 Were you not brought up that way?
00:08:23.680 I was, you know, children are told to be careful.
00:08:28.580 Yeah, show this in the background while I talk.
00:08:30.220 Look at it.
00:08:30.740 So it was David who was threatened.
00:08:33.460 It was David who was told to leave.
00:08:35.180 It was David who was told that they were going to call the cops on him.
00:08:40.100 Not this man.
00:08:41.420 Now, I went to the website of the otters.
00:08:43.480 Have you been there?
00:08:43.980 Do you know that website, Olivia?
00:08:45.900 Is it easy for you to find?
00:08:47.760 They have what they call the swimmer's bill of rights,
00:08:52.580 which is I'm glad to know they have a bill of rights for swimmers.
00:08:57.280 And I know what a right is.
00:08:58.620 It's something that it's sort of a right you have as opposed to something,
00:09:01.980 the right not to or the right to.
00:09:05.200 So, for example, in our charter of rights, which is a real charter of rights,
00:09:08.980 we have freedom from government meddling.
00:09:11.120 We have the right to free speech, to be free from infringement.
00:09:15.680 So, okay, what would be in a swimmer's bill of rights?
00:09:18.480 I'm guessing the right to fair competition, probably.
00:09:24.860 The right to safety.
00:09:27.740 Pump that one up so I can see it a little bit better.
00:09:30.380 The right to proper.
00:09:35.000 Oh, you know what?
00:09:35.780 I'm going to have to squint a little bit.
00:09:39.600 If you can make that just a little bit bigger.
00:09:43.260 One of their fake rights is the right to participate as a child when you are a grown up.
00:09:53.920 But that's not a right.
00:09:55.380 The right to participate, regardless of race, whatever,
00:10:01.140 we do segregate most sports into different sexes.
00:10:07.740 We just do that because that's sport.
00:10:11.020 Yeah, there it is.
00:10:11.600 Thank you very much.
00:10:12.980 So, look at these.
00:10:14.340 The right to proper preparation for the participation in sport.
00:10:18.140 Okay, I guess so.
00:10:20.740 The right to be treated with dignity, sure.
00:10:22.940 The right to equal opportunity, sure.
00:10:24.760 The right to have fun through sport.
00:10:26.280 I don't know if that's a right.
00:10:27.280 But look at right above that.
00:10:29.080 The right to play as a child and not as an adult.
00:10:35.500 What does that mean?
00:10:37.260 I mean, if you start at the top, the right of the opportunity to participate in sports,
00:10:41.460 regardless of ability level.
00:10:44.120 All right.
00:10:44.560 Well, that's not actually what sports is.
00:10:48.040 There's often a competition.
00:10:50.140 And you're allowed to play in a certain level.
00:10:53.600 But put that back up just for one second because I wanted to read it.
00:10:57.520 Some of these are fake rights.
00:10:59.840 Especially that one about the right to participate as, yeah, just pump that up.
00:11:05.300 Yeah.
00:11:05.900 The right to have qualified adult leadership.
00:11:09.300 Okay, whatever.
00:11:10.240 The right to participate in a safe and healthy environment.
00:11:12.660 The right above the purple line.
00:11:15.500 The right to play as a child and not as an adult.
00:11:18.740 That is not a right.
00:11:20.980 You can call it a right.
00:11:22.680 You can write that down.
00:11:24.520 You can put that in your Bill of Rights.
00:11:26.140 But that is not a real thing.
00:11:27.420 In fact, all of sport, if you've got kids in sports or were in sports yourself or know
00:11:34.520 someone else, you know that, you know, you don't have the 16-year-olds playing against
00:11:38.620 the 10-year-olds in pretty much any sport because that's not fun.
00:11:42.280 That's not sport.
00:11:43.720 Sport is control certain variables to make it fair.
00:11:47.600 And then within those variables, have adder.
00:11:49.760 So the idea of participating regardless of ability level, okay, well, you can participate,
00:11:54.720 but you're not going to be on the triple A team.
00:11:57.020 And you're not going to have a 16-year-old competing against a 10-year-old.
00:12:01.420 That is an absolute bizarre Orwellian, the right to play as a child and not as an adult.
00:12:07.880 That is made up BS.
00:12:09.560 And it is absolutely obvious to me that that was done specifically to cover this 50-year-old
00:12:19.260 weirdo who is doing it because he wants all these young girls to be props in his sexual
00:12:26.880 psychotherapy.
00:12:28.460 It's super gross to me.
00:12:30.560 So I give credit to David Menzies.
00:12:33.420 He's a mission specialist and he's out on the missions.
00:12:35.700 And by the way, his work, I saw Rand Paul, the Kentucky Republican senator today, retweeted
00:12:41.840 a story in The Sun that was based off David's work.
00:12:46.540 I see Megan Kelly, the American broadcaster, went on a tear about how if she had been there.
00:12:53.540 Yeah, there's Rand Paul.
00:12:54.340 Just show the tweet.
00:12:56.440 We've entered upside down world.
00:12:59.940 That's Rand Paul.
00:13:00.640 If you click on that, you get to the story written by our friend Joe Warmington based
00:13:04.420 off of what David has discovered.
00:13:08.560 Megan Kelly just, Megan Kelly says if she were in Canada, she would go into full mama bear
00:13:13.440 mode and sort of become active.
00:13:16.520 And she didn't say she would punch the guy, but she would go into full mama bear mode.
00:13:21.520 Where are the, like, are we really that passive?
00:13:23.680 You know, the American motto, you know, the pursuit of happiness.
00:13:27.540 And, you know, truth, justice, the American way.
00:13:33.740 Those are some of their phrases.
00:13:34.740 What's ours?
00:13:35.880 Peace, order, and good government?
00:13:37.700 Are we that mild and passive that we let a 50-year-old man into a change room with your
00:13:44.720 teenage daughters, into a shower room?
00:13:47.600 Are we that meek?
00:13:48.780 I tell you, that cannot stand, that will not stand.
00:13:52.880 There's just, there's just too many things that are contrary to a thousand generations
00:13:59.820 of nature in that.
00:14:03.640 You know, before this whole trans madness came about, you would read about these cults,
00:14:09.900 these child sacrifice cults, where they would, where they would treat children as, you know,
00:14:15.560 they would sacrifice a virgin in the volcano, you know.
00:14:19.160 And I would think, how could it be?
00:14:22.760 Isn't it innate in any, in any life, animal life as well as human life?
00:14:28.740 Isn't our genetic programming do anything to protect the children?
00:14:33.480 I mean, and, and the idea is, that's how you, that's how you passed on your genetic code
00:14:37.960 in the future.
00:14:38.380 That's how you, how do you live forever?
00:14:41.420 Well, Shakespeare, his, his sonnets, half of his sonnets are about having children.
00:14:46.040 That's how you live forever.
00:14:47.700 And so you do anything for your kids.
00:14:50.720 Honor your mother and father, sure, but the future is your kids.
00:14:53.720 What society would allow a 50-year-old predator, and I don't know if he's a predator in terms
00:15:00.580 of an assault, but I, I'll use the word predator in terms of he, he demands and gets
00:15:07.700 access to these teenage girls in their locker room while they're changing into their bathing
00:15:13.560 suits.
00:15:14.160 And this is desensitizing the girls.
00:15:18.800 This is normalizing men in their private places.
00:15:22.780 These girls are being taught, they're being reshaped to believe that a man is allowed into their private
00:15:32.540 places despite their surely instinctive reaction, danger, danger.
00:15:39.720 It's not just the mom and dads who are fighting their instincts here.
00:15:48.980 We are teaching young girls that, that they must.
00:15:52.720 In fact, they are the ones who could be the criminals if they don't allow this.
00:15:58.680 It's terrifying.
00:15:59.500 All right.
00:15:59.780 I've talked about that for long enough, but I just wanted to toot the horn of our mission
00:16:03.680 specialist, David Menzies, and explain why it is our strategy to have him out on the streets
00:16:08.620 where he does amazing work every single day.
00:16:10.460 I'd like to give a shout out to our whole team that's been doing amazing work across the country.
00:16:17.680 For example, the daily Hamas hate marches across this country, whether it was Alexa in Montreal
00:16:24.260 or Drea in Vancouver covering it.
00:16:28.400 But I want to talk about the news of the day, which is in Toronto.
00:16:34.100 Toronto has a kind of mini Times Square.
00:16:37.020 If you've ever been to New York City, you'll know one of the most exciting places in that
00:16:41.340 city, especially if you're a young person, especially if you're a tourist, is called
00:16:44.760 Times Square.
00:16:46.880 There's so many theaters around there, musicals and dramas.
00:16:51.520 It's like, there's so many amazing restaurants.
00:16:54.180 There's so much city life, food trucks, young people, there's street performers.
00:17:01.220 There, it is, as Morrissey says, take me out tonight.
00:17:07.460 I want to see people and I want to see life.
00:17:10.560 And, and that's Times Square.
00:17:12.840 It's life.
00:17:14.540 And Canada has a little version of that.
00:17:16.420 Now, I mean, like, like so many things, it's sort of a knockoff version.
00:17:20.720 Yeah, there it is right there.
00:17:21.820 Put that on the screen.
00:17:23.200 That's sort of our Times Square.
00:17:25.460 You've got the super jumbo billboards.
00:17:27.160 You've got a couple of Mervis theaters nearby.
00:17:31.080 You have a ton of restaurants.
00:17:33.400 It's very touristy.
00:17:34.920 You have some food trucks.
00:17:37.060 You've got buskers.
00:17:38.100 You've got street preachers.
00:17:40.280 I mean, you don't have the, listen, there's only one New York in the world.
00:17:44.540 But that's Canada's Times Square.
00:17:49.200 It's called Young Dundas Square.
00:17:52.020 Because it's the intersection of Young Street and Dundas Street.
00:17:54.800 Who is this Dundas?
00:17:58.420 Well, his name was Henry Dundas.
00:18:00.980 And he lived over 200 years ago.
00:18:02.480 He was from Scotland originally.
00:18:04.860 And he helped govern Canada before it was a country, when it was part of the British Empire.
00:18:11.460 And the most important thing to know about Dundas, besides the fact that he helped give birth to Upper Canada, which then became known as Ontario.
00:18:24.140 Dundas, after whom Dundas, Ontario, Dundas Street, there's so many things named Dundas.
00:18:29.160 I think the most consequential thing he did was to help end slavery in the British Empire.
00:18:40.440 He was what they call an abolitionist.
00:18:44.200 He was early to the project, probably a generation earlier than most of the abolitionists.
00:18:52.880 And that's to his credit.
00:18:53.980 And he saw the reality of slavery, which, I must emphasize, exists on every continent of the world.
00:19:05.420 Slavery is common to every continent.
00:19:10.580 It's ancient.
00:19:11.820 It's prehistoric.
00:19:13.820 The slaves who built the Egyptian cities and the pyramids.
00:19:17.720 Slavery in Africa.
00:19:19.520 In North America, indigenous tribes had slavery.
00:19:22.960 It was part of warfare.
00:19:23.920 It was part of economics.
00:19:25.860 Some of the slaves did better than others.
00:19:27.840 For those who know the story about the Aztecs, slaves were captured and sacrificed.
00:19:33.320 Their hearts beating, cut out of their bodies.
00:19:38.580 Slavery was part of colonialism and empire.
00:19:44.960 There was a large slave trade from Africa towards the Americas.
00:19:49.080 Not just North America, but South America.
00:19:51.280 Part of the explanation for the interesting demographic diversity in South America is an enormous number of slaves were taken from Africa to Brazil, to the Caribbean.
00:20:05.620 How are there almost entirely black islands like Haiti, Jamaica?
00:20:10.660 Well, those were people taken from Africa in chains, and they were slaves, and by various regimes.
00:20:18.740 The French had French Caribbean places like Haiti and Martinique, where they had sugar and they had rum, and the slaves worked there.
00:20:27.140 And they were often worked to death and simply replaced with more slaves.
00:20:30.560 My point in this ramble is to tell you that slavery is ubiquitous.
00:20:34.060 There is still slavery today in China, in India, in Arabia, in Africa.
00:20:39.980 But Henry Dundas was an abolitionist.
00:20:43.460 He himself did not have slaves, even though he was a wealthy man, and many wealthy people in his age did.
00:20:49.060 And he wanted to repeal slavery, but he used one word that has Black Lives Matter and Olivia Chow and the woke karate up in arms today.
00:21:00.340 He used the word gradually because he wanted to get it done.
00:21:06.080 He didn't say we're going to abolish slavery like that.
00:21:10.240 He could have said it, but what's the likelihood that's going to become law?
00:21:14.600 What's the likelihood that's going to pass parliament and become affected?
00:21:17.600 What's the likelihood that an entire labor force behind entire industries, especially agriculture,
00:21:26.680 behind entire regions, the Caribbean and the New World,
00:21:30.360 would simply say, sure, someone in London voted to abolish our entire economic system.
00:21:37.080 We'll go along with that.
00:21:38.400 It wasn't going to happen.
00:21:39.960 He said, let's do it gradually.
00:21:41.580 First, let's cut off the slave trade so there's no more new slaves.
00:21:45.640 Then let's, you know, what does gradually mean?
00:21:47.960 Well, then any children born to slaves will be free.
00:21:52.020 And then eventually slaves themselves will be, like, the gradual phasing out of slavery.
00:21:57.400 And as I discussed in my recent conversation last night with Jennifer Dundas,
00:22:03.880 a descendant of Henry Dundas, in the most dramatic and remarkable thing done
00:22:10.560 since the freeing of the slaves by Moses, the British Empire, almost 200 years ago,
00:22:18.780 borrowed 20 million pounds, which as a proportion of their GDP is sort of like
00:22:23.600 a quarter trillion of a dollar today in terms of purchasing power, GDP, et cetera.
00:22:30.840 And they simply bought the freedom of every slave in the empire.
00:22:35.760 Instead of saying we are going to go to war against every slave owner,
00:22:39.240 we're going to have a civil war, we're going to have litigation,
00:22:41.760 we're going to have rebellion,
00:22:42.520 we're going to simply buy the freedom of every slave in the British Empire.
00:22:49.460 We're going to borrow a quarter of a trillion dollars and pay down that debt.
00:22:54.600 And you know when that debt was finally repaid?
00:22:57.720 I think it was 2015.
00:23:00.180 For 200 years,
00:23:03.500 British citizens paid interest and principal on a two-century mortgage to free the slaves.
00:23:11.280 Did you know that?
00:23:12.000 And in fact, for 50 years, the British West Africa squadron of the Royal Navy
00:23:19.840 hunted down slave ships, seized the slave ships, arrested the slavers, and freed the slaves.
00:23:28.100 Hundreds and hundreds of ships.
00:23:30.760 The Royal Navy took it upon themselves not only to abolish slavery in the British Empire,
00:23:35.300 but to stop slave ships going to other empires.
00:23:39.260 Did you know that?
00:23:40.060 I say again, the Spanish, the Portuguese, the French, the Dutch,
00:23:48.340 they had slaves in their colonies as well.
00:23:51.600 The British not only banned slavery in their empire,
00:23:54.720 they then for 50 years sailed the high seas looking for slave ships to stop them.
00:24:02.460 They were not going to America at this point.
00:24:05.560 They were not going to Canada.
00:24:08.140 They were not going to any British islands in the Caribbean.
00:24:14.420 The Royal Navy was acting like a global police force stopping slaves.
00:24:18.360 Did you know that?
00:24:20.800 Henry Dundas was part of that movement.
00:24:22.940 But because he used the word gradually,
00:24:26.700 he was an abolitionist.
00:24:27.680 He did not have slaves himself.
00:24:29.420 He fought and lobbied and orchestrated the end of slavery.
00:24:33.200 He, in his connection with John Simcoe in Ontario,
00:24:39.340 banished slavery fast and early, earlier than almost any other place.
00:24:43.360 But because he used the word gradually,
00:24:47.440 an American corporation called Black Lives Matter,
00:24:49.920 which set up a Canadian franchise,
00:24:52.020 we don't have the American history of slavery.
00:24:54.080 We were the end of the Underground Railway.
00:24:55.860 We were the free place to which blacks fled.
00:24:58.520 But Black Lives Matter was so successful as a corporation in the United States,
00:25:02.180 it set up a franchise in Canada,
00:25:04.480 in Toronto,
00:25:05.060 and tried to get an echo of their action up here,
00:25:08.740 even though we didn't have the same history of slavery.
00:25:10.980 Like I said, we abolished it two centuries ago.
00:25:14.780 But one of them said,
00:25:16.060 well, we need an enemy,
00:25:17.540 because that's what critical race theory,
00:25:20.960 cultural Marxism is all about.
00:25:22.740 Let us demonize great Canadian slaveholders.
00:25:29.240 Except there really weren't any.
00:25:32.820 They just, they weren't.
00:25:34.720 In fact, we were the slave abolitionists.
00:25:37.300 But they said, well, he said to eliminate slavery gradually,
00:25:41.660 instead of immediately,
00:25:43.040 because he actually wanted to get it done,
00:25:45.060 instead of just talking about it.
00:25:46.160 It was a radical progressive idea at the time.
00:25:48.240 Today, we all know instinctively,
00:25:49.720 and obviously the slavery is wrong.
00:25:51.500 But 200 years ago,
00:25:52.780 when, you know,
00:25:54.460 huge territories were essentially run by slave labor,
00:25:57.640 saying let's abolish slavery was a radical progressive idea.
00:26:00.860 Henry Dundas was a radical progressive,
00:26:02.920 but he was smarter than Black Lives Matter.
00:26:05.020 He actually wanted to achieve something.
00:26:07.220 So because he used the word gradually,
00:26:10.080 Olivia Chow,
00:26:10.900 one of the stupidest people in the country,
00:26:12.820 and I'm sorry to Seamus O'Regan
00:26:14.680 for taking the title away from him,
00:26:17.000 said that he was a racist.
00:26:19.040 And she actually said,
00:26:19.800 do we have a clip of her actually saying
00:26:21.420 that Henry Dundas himself
00:26:23.220 had slaves?
00:26:25.560 Which is such a damnable lie.
00:26:28.100 Like, you have such a low-information person
00:26:31.660 to say that Henry Dundas,
00:26:34.220 an abolitionist,
00:26:36.280 had slaves.
00:26:38.400 Like, just making things up.
00:26:43.940 And so based on that,
00:26:45.660 I mean, I live in Toronto.
00:26:47.540 And the best thing about Toronto
00:26:49.020 is there's some wonderful people here.
00:26:51.800 And I'm almost on the list.
00:26:54.380 There's some restaurants.
00:26:56.160 There's some sports teams
00:26:57.440 if you can afford
00:26:58.360 the extraordinarily expensive tickets.
00:27:01.600 The traffic is atrocious.
00:27:03.380 The crime is atrocious.
00:27:05.740 The politics are atrocious.
00:27:09.380 The waiting lists for hospitals are atrocious.
00:27:12.660 The quality of the schools is atrocious.
00:27:16.400 There are a lot of things broken in this city.
00:27:19.680 Like I say, the best thing about it
00:27:21.240 is that there's a lot of wonderful people here.
00:27:22.760 But the mayor who was elected,
00:27:26.280 who is, calls herself a socialist,
00:27:28.320 but is probably a communist,
00:27:29.480 who was elected
00:27:30.060 because she married someone famous
00:27:32.660 who passed away.
00:27:33.520 She's the widow of Jack Layton,
00:27:35.960 the former NDP leader.
00:27:37.020 So Olivia Chow is the mayor
00:27:40.260 because there were literally
00:27:41.060 more than 100 candidates running for mayor.
00:27:43.700 And she just simply had more votes.
00:27:45.760 She had nowhere near a majority.
00:27:47.280 So I hate to say she's sort of,
00:27:50.300 she's sort of exactly what you'd expect.
00:27:52.540 She's a nepotism candidate.
00:27:54.720 She's the wife of,
00:27:56.240 or the widow of.
00:27:57.860 And so she's not particularly well briefed.
00:28:00.360 But boy, she loves this issue.
00:28:02.460 Because if she can take on someone 200 years ago
00:28:05.220 who's not around to defend himself,
00:28:08.320 I mean, and if you defend Henry Dundas,
00:28:10.580 well, then you're for slavery.
00:28:11.680 No, you're not.
00:28:12.640 He was actually an abolitionist, you fool.
00:28:14.760 Listen to her lie.
00:28:16.660 Listen, here she tells a goddamn lie
00:28:18.980 accusing Henry Dundas of being a slave owner.
00:28:22.020 He was an abolitionist.
00:28:24.360 Take a look.
00:28:25.900 On the comparison to
00:28:27.340 the renaming of Centennial Stadium,
00:28:31.700 people have said,
00:28:32.760 you know, if you're going to rename Dundas
00:28:35.600 costly process
00:28:36.600 because of a controversial figure like Dundas,
00:28:39.840 why would you go about
00:28:41.520 and name a stadium
00:28:43.480 after someone with
00:28:44.540 an equally controversial background?
00:28:46.840 Is that not,
00:28:48.480 you know,
00:28:48.900 speaking of both sides of your mouth?
00:28:52.480 Dundas
00:28:53.120 delayed
00:28:55.220 the cancellation
00:28:58.080 and the abolition of slavery
00:29:00.880 for many years.
00:29:04.640 he also
00:29:06.280 promoted
00:29:07.320 taking
00:29:08.360 children,
00:29:10.320 young girls
00:29:11.100 and boys
00:29:11.860 to bring them,
00:29:13.200 take them away
00:29:14.180 from
00:29:14.980 their parents
00:29:16.940 and bring them
00:29:18.760 to England,
00:29:20.240 to other parts
00:29:21.080 of Europe
00:29:22.640 as slaves
00:29:24.340 so they could multiply,
00:29:25.960 procreate
00:29:26.760 so there will be enough people,
00:29:29.620 enough labor,
00:29:31.120 slave labor
00:29:31.960 in order
00:29:33.040 to
00:29:33.960 service
00:29:34.860 the plantations.
00:29:37.320 Surely
00:29:37.760 you're not comparing
00:29:39.040 a slave owner
00:29:41.940 around,
00:29:42.960 and it's not,
00:29:43.540 I don't know
00:29:43.940 whether it's a slave owner
00:29:44.760 or not.
00:29:45.700 Hang on,
00:29:45.900 you don't know.
00:29:46.920 Allow me to finish.
00:29:47.980 Hang on,
00:29:48.440 you don't know.
00:29:49.480 So you just called him
00:29:50.440 a slave owner
00:29:51.180 because you're the expert here.
00:29:53.540 You just called him
00:29:54.700 a slave owner
00:29:55.280 and then you said,
00:29:55.840 well,
00:29:56.080 I don't know.
00:29:57.200 You don't know?
00:29:59.800 You said it
00:30:00.640 and then immediately
00:30:01.280 you realized
00:30:01.980 you were making things up
00:30:03.220 and then you immediately
00:30:04.420 said,
00:30:04.860 well,
00:30:04.940 you don't know
00:30:05.560 but you said it anyways
00:30:06.540 and you're an expert
00:30:08.420 and you know what?
00:30:09.260 And let's go to
00:30:09.740 Joe Warmington's story
00:30:10.820 and then I want to go
00:30:12.800 to the True North story
00:30:13.600 about this
00:30:13.980 because they've got
00:30:14.380 a great angle on it.
00:30:15.880 So they've decided,
00:30:17.100 let me come to the chase.
00:30:18.180 I spent a lot of time
00:30:18.820 talking about Henry Dundas
00:30:19.840 after whom
00:30:21.860 Dundas Square is named,
00:30:23.280 Young Dundas Square.
00:30:24.040 They are going to change it
00:30:27.540 to Sankofa Square.
00:30:31.560 And I just keep thinking of,
00:30:33.580 I knew a kid in my school,
00:30:35.700 Neil Sankoff,
00:30:36.460 I think.
00:30:37.680 Are they naming that after him?
00:30:39.020 What did Neil do?
00:30:40.180 Or is it after Sanka,
00:30:42.820 the instant coffee?
00:30:45.100 Toronto City Council
00:30:45.980 approves Sankofa Square
00:30:47.460 as a new name
00:30:48.420 for Young Dundas Square
00:30:49.320 and initiates plans
00:30:50.420 to rename other city assets
00:30:52.040 that include the name
00:30:53.720 Dundas?
00:30:56.580 You know why
00:30:57.480 that was smart politics?
00:31:01.040 Because first of all,
00:31:01.900 the journalists are as stupid
00:31:03.060 as the politicians
00:31:03.800 in this town.
00:31:05.000 So they're going to
00:31:06.100 eat this stuff up.
00:31:07.620 Second of all,
00:31:09.040 do you think it's easier
00:31:10.260 for Olivia Chow,
00:31:12.300 who doesn't know
00:31:12.960 what she's talking about,
00:31:13.640 she just told a lie
00:31:14.640 and immediately admitted
00:31:15.420 that she lied,
00:31:16.200 but do you think
00:31:17.240 it's easier for her
00:31:18.080 to cut taxes,
00:31:19.860 cut the police?
00:31:22.100 I mean,
00:31:22.360 taxes are high,
00:31:23.920 the police are,
00:31:26.500 you know,
00:31:26.720 there's this defund
00:31:27.680 the police movement here
00:31:28.600 as there is everywhere else.
00:31:30.220 Traffic's atrocious,
00:31:31.360 they're building subways
00:31:32.740 that are years behind schedule,
00:31:34.980 hundreds of millions
00:31:35.520 over budget.
00:31:36.500 Is it easier for her
00:31:37.680 to actually do her job?
00:31:39.900 Fix crime,
00:31:40.540 fix taxes,
00:31:41.240 fix waiting lists,
00:31:42.740 you know,
00:31:42.940 the boring stuff
00:31:43.780 of politics,
00:31:44.580 garbage pickup.
00:31:45.480 Is that easier?
00:31:46.900 Or would she rather talk,
00:31:49.180 would she rather demonize
00:31:50.800 some white guy
00:31:52.700 200 years ago
00:31:54.100 as a slave owner,
00:31:55.560 which is a damnable lie,
00:31:56.920 and have a lot of discussion
00:31:58.700 about that?
00:31:59.940 And he can't fight back,
00:32:01.620 and if you side with
00:32:02.620 Henry Dundas,
00:32:03.480 then you're a racist.
00:32:04.540 Tell you one thing,
00:32:05.760 200 years from now,
00:32:06.840 not a single human being
00:32:08.440 will know anything
00:32:09.100 about Olivia Chow,
00:32:10.240 other than maybe
00:32:10.800 a tiny footnote
00:32:11.920 in the history of Toronto.
00:32:13.420 Henry Dundas was such
00:32:15.040 a great builder
00:32:15.980 of this new country.
00:32:17.360 In addition to his work
00:32:18.540 abolishing slavery,
00:32:21.420 they named a whole city
00:32:22.600 after him.
00:32:24.800 Along with,
00:32:25.800 you know,
00:32:26.180 I was joking with
00:32:27.180 Jennifer Dundas,
00:32:28.240 the descendant of Henry Dundas,
00:32:29.840 that frankly,
00:32:30.980 renaming a subway stop
00:32:32.400 is probably good
00:32:33.380 because the Toronto
00:32:35.060 Transit Commission,
00:32:35.920 the subway authority
00:32:37.040 in Toronto,
00:32:37.720 is so delayed,
00:32:38.920 so crime-ridden,
00:32:39.820 so dangerous,
00:32:40.880 there's stabbings
00:32:41.620 on the subway,
00:32:42.360 there's wild youths
00:32:44.040 running rampant
00:32:44.620 on the subway.
00:32:45.320 You probably don't want
00:32:46.720 anyone you love
00:32:47.600 and admire
00:32:48.180 to have a subway station
00:32:49.980 named after them
00:32:50.840 in Toronto
00:32:51.820 because it's actually
00:32:52.500 disreputable,
00:32:53.420 but other than
00:32:53.840 the subway station,
00:32:54.880 which I think should be
00:32:55.580 called Olivia Chow Station
00:32:56.920 in honor of the crime,
00:32:59.740 imagine that,
00:33:00.600 and by the way,
00:33:01.140 there's 4,500 businesses
00:33:02.600 along Dundas Street,
00:33:05.280 many of which
00:33:06.000 have Dundas
00:33:06.940 in their name,
00:33:08.480 let alone
00:33:09.240 in their addresses,
00:33:10.400 like this is
00:33:11.600 the stupidest thing
00:33:12.700 I've ever heard,
00:33:13.980 it's cancel culture
00:33:15.160 two centuries ago,
00:33:17.740 and Sankofa Square,
00:33:20.720 hey,
00:33:20.940 can you go to the,
00:33:21.540 we'll skip over
00:33:22.060 Joe Warmington's article,
00:33:23.120 let's go to True North
00:33:24.180 because our friends
00:33:24.720 at True North,
00:33:25.260 I think it was Andrew Lawton
00:33:26.080 who did this,
00:33:26.720 what does the word
00:33:27.180 Sankofa mean?
00:33:28.720 I think it's from,
00:33:29.540 it's from a Ghana,
00:33:31.020 a language in Ghana,
00:33:32.200 G-H-A-N-A,
00:33:33.140 it's an African country,
00:33:34.340 by the way,
00:33:35.680 Ghana and Canada
00:33:36.740 have very little
00:33:37.640 in common.
00:33:39.320 I just checked
00:33:40.340 and according to
00:33:41.100 the census,
00:33:43.360 there are about
00:33:44.020 35,000 people
00:33:45.720 in all of Canada
00:33:47.880 who are from
00:33:49.380 the country of Ghana
00:33:50.360 and I got no beef
00:33:51.420 with Ghana,
00:33:51.940 I'm sure they're nice people,
00:33:53.380 but that's 0.1%
00:33:56.440 of Canadians
00:33:57.300 are from Ghana
00:33:59.500 and most of them
00:34:01.380 have just arrived
00:34:02.200 in the last generation,
00:34:03.140 of course.
00:34:03.440 So what's the connection?
00:34:06.120 Why should this,
00:34:07.140 this,
00:34:08.120 the center of Toronto
00:34:09.620 be named after
00:34:11.400 something in Ghana
00:34:12.480 that has nothing
00:34:13.420 to do with Canada?
00:34:15.400 Where did that come from?
00:34:17.380 Did they like
00:34:18.040 Google it
00:34:19.640 or something?
00:34:20.500 Is that the depth
00:34:21.200 of research?
00:34:21.940 So here's an article
00:34:22.820 by our friends
00:34:23.440 over at True North.
00:34:24.760 Toronto used word
00:34:26.180 from slave trading
00:34:27.820 African tribe
00:34:29.160 to replace
00:34:30.820 Dundas.
00:34:32.060 Oh, this is just
00:34:33.000 too much.
00:34:33.600 Here, let's read
00:34:35.000 through that together
00:34:35.700 a little bit.
00:34:37.180 Toronto City Council
00:34:38.180 voted unanimously,
00:34:40.080 not a single person
00:34:42.260 thought,
00:34:43.700 no, we're not going
00:34:44.280 to tear down
00:34:44.920 our monuments
00:34:45.600 and rename,
00:34:47.700 why don't they
00:34:48.240 rename the whole city?
00:34:50.440 Toronto City Council
00:34:51.400 voted unanimously
00:34:52.320 on Thursday
00:34:53.000 to change the name
00:34:53.740 of Toronto's
00:34:54.380 world-famous
00:34:55.380 young Dundas Square
00:34:56.260 to Sankofa Square.
00:34:58.400 Do you think
00:34:58.820 anyone's going
00:34:59.480 to say that?
00:35:00.140 If you rename
00:35:01.280 Times Square,
00:35:02.960 do you think
00:35:03.260 people would,
00:35:04.180 if you called it
00:35:04.740 Obama Square,
00:35:06.060 do you think
00:35:06.460 anyone would
00:35:07.040 call it that?
00:35:08.400 To distance it
00:35:09.060 from Henry Dundas'
00:35:10.000 purported connection
00:35:11.160 to the transatlantic
00:35:12.420 slavery.
00:35:13.900 Connection,
00:35:15.060 connection,
00:35:15.880 that's like saying
00:35:16.420 Winston Churchill
00:35:17.200 was connected
00:35:18.020 to the German
00:35:19.380 Luftwaffe.
00:35:20.280 Connected to it,
00:35:21.560 he fought against it.
00:35:23.720 The word used
00:35:24.540 by the city of Toronto,
00:35:25.760 True North has learned,
00:35:27.040 originated from a tribe
00:35:28.160 known for its role
00:35:29.320 in the slave trade.
00:35:31.200 While Dundas was,
00:35:32.400 in fact,
00:35:32.740 an abolitionist,
00:35:34.300 the Akan people
00:35:35.360 of Ghana,
00:35:36.480 from whom the
00:35:36.960 world Sankofa comes,
00:35:38.840 were active participants
00:35:39.920 in the slave trade
00:35:40.600 and imported slaves
00:35:41.400 to develop
00:35:41.920 their own economy.
00:35:44.380 As scholar
00:35:45.020 A. Norman Klein,
00:35:46.080 reviewing the work
00:35:46.740 of renowned
00:35:47.380 Ghana historian
00:35:48.220 Ivor Wilkes,
00:35:49.320 wrote,
00:35:50.320 the Akan,
00:35:51.320 quote,
00:35:51.600 exchanged their gold
00:35:52.600 for these slaves
00:35:53.780 who rewarded
00:35:54.580 their Akan masters
00:35:55.720 by creating
00:35:56.640 an agricultural revolution
00:35:58.080 during the 15th
00:35:59.320 and 16th centuries.
00:36:02.680 And then there's
00:36:03.780 an excerpt
00:36:04.740 from a scholarly paper
00:36:07.620 by our friend
00:36:08.400 Andrew Lawton.
00:36:11.060 The Akan people
00:36:11.840 imported slaves
00:36:12.740 to help clear
00:36:13.560 their forests
00:36:14.440 where they searched
00:36:15.420 for gold
00:36:15.980 and also sold slaves
00:36:17.580 to Europeans,
00:36:18.840 fueling the
00:36:19.340 transatlantic slave trade.
00:36:20.800 In 2006,
00:36:21.660 Ghana apologized
00:36:22.720 to descendants
00:36:23.840 of slaves
00:36:24.360 for its role
00:36:25.280 in the slave trade.
00:36:26.200 This is what I said earlier.
00:36:27.480 Slavery's been
00:36:28.000 on every continent.
00:36:29.180 And who do you think
00:36:29.860 caught the slaves
00:36:30.780 in Africa?
00:36:31.900 It was often
00:36:32.480 other African
00:36:33.320 or Arab groups,
00:36:35.200 including the folks
00:36:36.020 who came up
00:36:36.420 with the word Sankofa.
00:36:39.200 Toronto Mayor
00:36:39.840 Olivia Chow
00:36:40.560 said the name change
00:36:41.660 is part of the city's
00:36:42.400 commitment to
00:36:42.940 confronting
00:36:43.800 anti-black racism,
00:36:45.180 advancing truth.
00:36:46.600 Really?
00:36:47.860 She just admitted
00:36:48.680 that she smeared,
00:36:49.640 she actually said
00:36:50.440 Henry Dundas
00:36:51.320 had slaves.
00:36:51.840 You heard her say it.
00:36:53.840 Part of the city's
00:36:56.200 reconciliation
00:36:57.100 and justice
00:36:58.820 and building
00:36:59.860 a more inclusive
00:37:00.580 and equitable city.
00:37:01.740 How about
00:37:02.100 fixing the streets?
00:37:03.700 How about
00:37:04.040 getting taxes down?
00:37:05.200 How about
00:37:05.520 cracking down
00:37:06.240 on crime?
00:37:08.300 The city of Toronto
00:37:08.880 is committed
00:37:09.240 to acknowledging
00:37:09.740 the impact
00:37:10.220 of the transatlantic
00:37:10.940 slave trade
00:37:11.560 and slavery
00:37:12.320 while focusing
00:37:12.920 on mitigating
00:37:13.560 costs and impacts
00:37:14.520 in residents
00:37:15.000 and businesses.
00:37:16.220 Chow said,
00:37:16.840 adopting the name
00:37:17.640 Sankofa Square
00:37:18.960 recognizes the need
00:37:20.200 to reflect on
00:37:21.000 and reclaim
00:37:22.080 teachings,
00:37:22.720 reclaim teachings
00:37:24.780 from the past
00:37:25.540 and enable us
00:37:26.220 to move forward
00:37:26.900 together.
00:37:28.160 What does that mean
00:37:28.780 to reclaim
00:37:29.300 teachings from
00:37:30.160 the past?
00:37:32.280 I won't go on
00:37:33.140 too much longer.
00:37:36.820 Historians,
00:37:37.360 even those
00:37:37.680 on the political
00:37:38.120 left,
00:37:38.500 tend to agree
00:37:39.500 that Dundas
00:37:39.960 was a supporter
00:37:40.700 of the abolition
00:37:41.300 of slavery.
00:37:42.280 Controversy around him
00:37:43.060 stems from an amendment
00:37:44.200 he proposed
00:37:44.920 to an abolition motion
00:37:45.920 from William Wilberforce
00:37:47.260 to make it more gradual,
00:37:48.980 but he said
00:37:49.660 in doing so
00:37:50.420 it was because
00:37:50.820 he thought
00:37:51.300 that was the most
00:37:52.000 effective way
00:37:52.500 to end slavery
00:37:53.240 given it took
00:37:54.660 more than 50 years
00:37:55.480 from that point
00:37:56.440 for the transatlantic
00:37:57.520 slave trade to end.
00:37:58.460 He was likely right.
00:38:01.200 Dundas also called
00:38:01.980 on African leaders
00:38:02.820 to stop their
00:38:03.600 complicity in the
00:38:04.340 slave trade,
00:38:04.880 which they didn't
00:38:05.820 do at the time.
00:38:07.800 So is this one
00:38:08.680 of the truths
00:38:09.240 we're going to
00:38:09.680 rediscover?
00:38:10.960 The concept of
00:38:12.100 Sankofa,
00:38:12.840 that is,
00:38:13.280 you know what,
00:38:14.400 they,
00:38:14.860 that is,
00:38:15.500 it feels like
00:38:16.440 they just
00:38:16.940 grabbed a word
00:38:18.340 like Hakuna Matata.
00:38:20.440 It feels like
00:38:21.820 they grabbed
00:38:22.300 an exotic word
00:38:23.480 so Olivia Chow
00:38:24.880 would practice
00:38:25.440 saying it
00:38:26.060 and it would be
00:38:26.840 the new,
00:38:27.400 Hakuna Matata,
00:38:28.860 we're going to call it
00:38:29.460 Hakuna Matata Square.
00:38:31.520 You didn't check
00:38:32.760 who invented
00:38:34.940 the word Sankofa,
00:38:36.120 that they were
00:38:36.760 slave traders,
00:38:37.840 so much so
00:38:38.640 that they apologized
00:38:40.040 to,
00:38:40.360 I meant a black
00:38:41.420 African country,
00:38:43.120 Ghana,
00:38:43.440 I didn't know this,
00:38:45.240 just read it
00:38:45.780 together with you.
00:38:46.400 A black African
00:38:48.780 country apologizing
00:38:50.520 for the slave trade
00:38:51.260 is unusual,
00:38:52.320 don't you think?
00:38:56.380 You know,
00:38:57.120 there's one more
00:38:57.980 tweet I want to show
00:38:58.820 and it was just
00:39:00.020 by chance,
00:39:01.360 I was reading this
00:39:02.400 and
00:39:02.780 about the amount
00:39:07.240 of slavery
00:39:07.780 around the world
00:39:08.520 and
00:39:10.920 when we think
00:39:11.840 of slavery,
00:39:12.680 we obviously
00:39:13.300 think of
00:39:14.740 the United States
00:39:15.720 and there's
00:39:16.940 a reason for that
00:39:17.700 because they had
00:39:18.480 slavery
00:39:18.880 and they fought
00:39:19.840 a civil war
00:39:20.440 over it
00:39:22.120 in part
00:39:22.680 and
00:39:23.860 it was
00:39:24.540 in English
00:39:25.260 and
00:39:25.780 it had a lot
00:39:26.600 of connections
00:39:27.140 so
00:39:28.640 yeah,
00:39:30.380 there's a good
00:39:30.840 reason for us
00:39:31.440 to think about
00:39:32.080 American slavery
00:39:32.980 but
00:39:36.060 American slavery
00:39:36.840 was much
00:39:37.700 less
00:39:38.220 I'm gonna find
00:39:42.820 I'm gonna find
00:39:42.840 I'm just a
00:39:44.040 moment ago
00:39:44.600 because I have
00:39:45.280 a tweet
00:39:45.660 here
00:39:46.020 that he
00:39:47.860 that
00:39:48.260 you know
00:39:49.440 I'm not
00:39:50.160 finding it
00:39:50.660 fast enough
00:39:51.200 and I don't
00:39:51.540 want to
00:39:51.860 do this
00:39:52.560 in real
00:39:52.860 time
00:39:53.240 all right
00:39:59.760 I'm gonna
00:40:00.140 give up
00:40:00.540 I was
00:40:00.800 looking for
00:40:01.640 the stats
00:40:02.200 on slavery
00:40:02.880 in different
00:40:03.420 countries
00:40:04.020 including
00:40:04.560 different
00:40:05.460 empires
00:40:06.080 at the
00:40:06.420 time
00:40:06.760 I'm not
00:40:07.680 saying that
00:40:08.220 British slavery
00:40:09.120 was better
00:40:09.840 than French
00:40:11.040 or Portuguese
00:40:11.780 or Spanish
00:40:13.260 slavery
00:40:13.540 although I
00:40:13.940 think frankly
00:40:14.400 the numbers
00:40:15.720 were far
00:40:16.200 fewer
00:40:16.800 and
00:40:18.120 here it
00:40:19.060 is
00:40:19.300 I found
00:40:20.620 it
00:40:20.820 I'm gonna
00:40:21.520 send you
00:40:21.960 a link
00:40:22.380 I'm gonna
00:40:23.240 put it
00:40:23.600 in the
00:40:23.820 live stream
00:40:24.440 script
00:40:27.140 just go
00:40:27.580 here for
00:40:27.960 a second
00:40:28.440 and I
00:40:30.580 want to
00:40:30.860 say that
00:40:31.260 all slavery
00:40:31.880 is bad
00:40:32.480 whether it
00:40:33.120 was the
00:40:33.540 Egyptian
00:40:33.900 slavery
00:40:34.380 of the
00:40:34.800 Hebrews
00:40:35.200 the
00:40:35.440 Israelites
00:40:35.840 thousands
00:40:36.700 of years
00:40:37.060 ago
00:40:37.400 or modern
00:40:38.300 slavery
00:40:38.720 in China
00:40:39.220 which still
00:40:39.720 exists
00:40:40.120 yeah pump
00:40:40.880 this up
00:40:41.240 as big
00:40:41.560 as you
00:40:41.800 can
00:40:42.140 so I
00:40:43.320 saw this
00:40:43.720 the other
00:40:44.040 day
00:40:44.300 and I
00:40:44.640 thought
00:40:44.800 it was
00:40:45.000 interesting
00:40:45.500 this is
00:40:46.320 from
00:40:46.500 Kenny
00:40:46.820 Akers
00:40:47.280 who
00:40:47.560 obviously
00:40:47.880 is a
00:40:48.140 black
00:40:48.340 man
00:40:48.660 and he
00:40:49.680 you know
00:40:51.120 he's
00:40:51.500 I would
00:40:52.020 call him
00:40:52.300 sort of
00:40:52.540 a citizen
00:40:52.960 scholar
00:40:53.400 I'm gonna
00:40:55.120 read a little
00:40:55.500 bit of this
00:40:55.800 too if I may
00:40:56.280 during the
00:40:58.920 transatlantic
00:40:59.420 slave trade
00:41:00.000 enslaved
00:41:00.420 Africans
00:41:00.740 were transported
00:41:01.360 to various
00:41:01.800 regions
00:41:02.240 around the
00:41:02.700 world
00:41:02.960 here's a list
00:41:04.800 of some
00:41:05.060 of the
00:41:05.200 major
00:41:05.400 destinations
00:41:06.000 and the
00:41:06.380 estimated
00:41:06.740 number
00:41:07.000 of people
00:41:07.340 that were
00:41:07.600 transported
00:41:08.020 to each
00:41:08.520 Brazil
00:41:10.000 approximately
00:41:11.940 4.9
00:41:12.900 million
00:41:13.340 enslaved
00:41:13.660 people were
00:41:14.120 transported
00:41:14.560 to Brazil
00:41:14.960 did you
00:41:16.220 know that
00:41:16.700 that's
00:41:17.240 by the
00:41:17.500 way
00:41:17.620 that's
00:41:17.860 10
00:41:18.200 times
00:41:18.640 more
00:41:18.900 than to
00:41:19.160 the United
00:41:19.500 States
00:41:19.920 10
00:41:20.260 times
00:41:20.500 more
00:41:20.800 Caribbean
00:41:22.040 islands
00:41:22.440 including
00:41:22.740 Jamaica
00:41:23.060 Cuba
00:41:23.300 and Haiti
00:41:23.640 around
00:41:24.220 5 million
00:41:25.180 enslaved
00:41:25.640 people were
00:41:26.200 transported
00:41:26.700 to the
00:41:26.900 Caribbean
00:41:27.120 and some
00:41:27.980 of those
00:41:28.200 countries are
00:41:28.660 now almost
00:41:29.620 completely
00:41:30.020 black
00:41:30.460 then look at
00:41:32.440 this next
00:41:32.800 one
00:41:33.080 the worst
00:41:34.540 people in
00:41:35.020 the world
00:41:35.360 United
00:41:35.780 States
00:41:36.280 an estimated
00:41:37.220 400,000
00:41:38.880 enslaved
00:41:39.280 people were
00:41:39.820 brought to
00:41:40.520 the United
00:41:40.800 States
00:41:41.240 now that's
00:41:42.800 those are
00:41:43.080 400,000
00:41:43.920 tragedies
00:41:44.600 by the
00:41:45.420 way
00:41:45.760 from those
00:41:46.900 400,000
00:41:47.800 black slaves
00:41:48.640 there are
00:41:48.920 now 30
00:41:49.500 million
00:41:49.960 descendants
00:41:51.220 American
00:41:51.760 blacks
00:41:52.180 are about
00:41:52.620 12%
00:41:53.200 of the
00:41:53.820 US
00:41:54.120 population
00:41:54.780 so
00:41:56.840 thank God
00:41:59.200 they were
00:41:59.440 not killed
00:42:00.180 in the
00:42:02.140 same way
00:42:02.820 that many
00:42:04.180 other slave
00:42:05.480 regimes
00:42:06.200 literally worked
00:42:07.240 their slaves
00:42:07.620 to death
00:42:08.020 which is just
00:42:08.620 atrocious
00:42:09.160 I mean any
00:42:09.820 slavery is
00:42:10.200 atrocious
00:42:10.520 but I think
00:42:11.200 there are
00:42:11.420 degrees
00:42:11.960 British
00:42:14.540 North
00:42:14.820 America
00:42:15.200 so
00:42:15.600 Canada
00:42:16.080 approximately
00:42:17.580 12,000
00:42:18.560 enslaved
00:42:18.900 people were
00:42:19.360 transported to
00:42:20.000 British
00:42:20.180 North
00:42:20.360 America
00:42:20.660 that was
00:42:23.540 abolished
00:42:24.100 earlier in
00:42:24.960 Canada
00:42:25.300 than I
00:42:25.580 think almost
00:42:26.000 anywhere in
00:42:26.440 the world
00:42:26.780 and
00:42:29.420 Henry
00:42:32.440 Dundas
00:42:32.860 was in
00:42:33.860 part to
00:42:34.260 credit for
00:42:34.720 that
00:42:34.960 Spanish
00:42:36.380 America
00:42:36.780 including
00:42:37.140 Mexico and
00:42:37.620 Colombia
00:42:37.900 1.3
00:42:38.460 million
00:42:38.740 French
00:42:39.200 Caribbean
00:42:39.740 including
00:42:40.600 Guadeloupe
00:42:41.140 and
00:42:41.880 Martinique
00:42:42.340 1.4
00:42:43.180 million
00:42:43.500 those are
00:42:44.120 tiny
00:42:44.480 islands
00:42:45.000 Dutch
00:42:46.180 Caribbean
00:42:46.680 550,000
00:42:48.280 Portuguese
00:42:48.860 3.9
00:42:51.700 million
00:42:52.500 were enslaved
00:42:54.200 and brought
00:42:54.660 from Angola
00:42:56.160 Mozambique
00:42:57.560 1.8
00:42:58.160 million
00:42:58.440 Indian
00:42:58.980 Ocean
00:42:59.460 Islands
00:43:00.020 including
00:43:00.380 Mauritius and
00:43:00.960 Reunion
00:43:01.360 half a
00:43:02.720 million
00:43:03.040 grand
00:43:04.300 total
00:43:04.640 the total
00:43:05.000 number of
00:43:05.320 Africans
00:43:05.660 transported
00:43:06.200 during the
00:43:06.600 transatlantic
00:43:07.140 slave trade
00:43:07.680 is estimated
00:43:08.520 to be
00:43:08.760 between
00:43:09.020 12.5
00:43:09.680 and 15
00:43:10.140 million
00:43:10.420 people
00:43:10.920 and you
00:43:12.460 can see
00:43:13.100 the size
00:43:14.340 of those
00:43:14.760 arrows
00:43:15.340 roughly
00:43:16.500 shows
00:43:17.300 the number
00:43:17.980 of people
00:43:18.480 most slaves
00:43:19.720 apparently
00:43:20.840 went to
00:43:21.880 Central and
00:43:22.340 South America
00:43:22.860 and the
00:43:23.280 Caribbean
00:43:23.660 apparently
00:43:26.880 12,000
00:43:28.200 went to
00:43:29.660 British North
00:43:30.220 America
00:43:30.660 where they
00:43:31.920 were amongst
00:43:32.260 the earliest
00:43:32.800 who were
00:43:33.160 freed
00:43:33.540 now of
00:43:36.900 course that's
00:43:37.200 just the
00:43:37.500 black
00:43:37.820 African
00:43:38.500 slave
00:43:38.840 trade
00:43:39.140 of course
00:43:39.480 there were
00:43:40.000 slavers
00:43:41.300 in Arabia
00:43:42.160 Muslim
00:43:44.100 pirates
00:43:44.840 really
00:43:45.160 who would
00:43:45.600 raid
00:43:46.080 Europe
00:43:48.000 and get
00:43:49.080 white
00:43:49.520 slaves
00:43:50.100 and over
00:43:50.600 a million
00:43:51.000 white
00:43:51.460 slaves
00:43:52.000 including
00:43:52.640 the entire
00:43:53.480 town of
00:43:54.020 Baltimore
00:43:54.480 Ireland
00:43:55.080 Baltimore
00:43:55.960 is not
00:43:56.300 just the
00:43:56.640 name of
00:43:57.040 the city
00:43:57.780 in Maryland
00:43:58.260 it's the
00:43:58.720 name of
00:43:58.960 a city
00:43:59.260 in Ireland
00:43:59.760 the entire
00:44:00.960 town was
00:44:01.480 captured and
00:44:02.040 taken
00:44:02.320 as slaves
00:44:03.780 white
00:44:04.040 slaves
00:44:04.440 for
00:44:05.800 Arabia
00:44:06.280 what I'm
00:44:08.700 saying is
00:44:09.020 a complicated
00:44:09.700 history
00:44:10.220 and
00:44:12.360 when
00:44:15.580 Olivia Chow
00:44:16.200 says we're
00:44:16.580 trying to
00:44:16.840 reclaim the
00:44:17.260 teachings of
00:44:17.720 the past
00:44:18.020 she is
00:44:18.360 absolutely
00:44:18.720 not
00:44:19.220 because if
00:44:20.580 she were
00:44:20.980 she would
00:44:21.340 be aware
00:44:21.920 that Ghana
00:44:22.980 was a
00:44:23.440 slave trading
00:44:24.000 country
00:44:24.500 and there's
00:44:25.760 really no
00:44:26.140 connection
00:44:26.500 between Ghana
00:44:27.200 and Canada
00:44:27.780 at all
00:44:28.600 and Ghana
00:44:31.480 was so
00:44:32.800 implicit
00:44:34.180 implicated
00:44:34.900 in the
00:44:35.800 slave trade
00:44:36.220 that it
00:44:36.480 actually issued
00:44:37.160 an apology
00:44:37.780 for slavery
00:44:38.460 and to
00:44:39.820 condemn
00:44:40.500 Henry
00:44:40.820 Dundas
00:44:41.220 as a
00:44:41.560 slave
00:44:41.780 keeper
00:44:42.000 which he
00:44:42.280 was not
00:44:42.720 and to
00:44:43.440 strip his
00:44:43.920 name off
00:44:44.300 something
00:44:44.540 and put
00:44:44.820 the name
00:44:45.100 of a
00:44:45.340 Ghanaian
00:44:46.260 tribe
00:44:48.080 that dealt
00:44:48.500 with slaves
00:44:49.000 is so
00:44:49.340 atrocious
00:44:49.860 but how
00:44:50.580 perfect
00:44:51.160 for
00:44:51.900 Olivia Chow
00:44:52.560 I'm
00:44:55.080 spending a
00:44:55.520 lot of
00:44:55.740 time talking
00:44:56.280 about that
00:44:56.740 I know
00:44:57.100 I just
00:44:59.300 can't
00:44:59.660 believe
00:45:00.000 that it
00:45:00.280 was
00:45:00.460 unanimous
00:45:01.160 it was
00:45:02.380 unanimous
00:45:03.000 in city
00:45:03.420 council
00:45:03.760 but why
00:45:04.300 not
00:45:04.720 what an
00:45:05.440 easy way
00:45:06.020 to seem
00:45:06.480 richly
00:45:07.060 I hope
00:45:07.660 that every
00:45:07.980 single
00:45:08.320 business
00:45:08.780 and family
00:45:09.940 that lives
00:45:10.340 on Dundas
00:45:11.180 street
00:45:11.580 imagine
00:45:12.860 telling
00:45:13.420 4,500
00:45:14.320 businesses
00:45:15.120 got to
00:45:16.800 change
00:45:16.960 business
00:45:17.280 card
00:45:17.500 got to
00:45:17.800 change
00:45:18.020 you know
00:45:18.620 Dundas
00:45:19.360 diner
00:45:19.880 Dundas
00:45:20.420 this
00:45:20.680 you got
00:45:21.020 to
00:45:21.160 change
00:45:21.380 there's
00:45:21.780 an
00:45:21.900 entire
00:45:22.160 city
00:45:22.520 called
00:45:22.760 Dundas
00:45:23.220 Ontario
00:45:23.480 how many
00:45:23.800 people
00:45:24.020 live in
00:45:24.340 Dundas
00:45:24.780 Ontario
00:45:26.120 I don't
00:45:27.060 know
00:45:27.160 it's not
00:45:27.440 it's probably
00:45:28.020 a town
00:45:28.560 Dundas
00:45:29.460 Ontario
00:45:30.080 there's
00:45:32.040 Dundas
00:45:32.420 County
00:45:32.880 Ontario
00:45:33.660 and
00:45:35.660 about 20,000
00:45:43.800 people there
00:45:44.420 imagine telling
00:45:45.200 them
00:45:45.540 are they
00:45:46.300 going to
00:45:46.520 tell every
00:45:46.900 person in
00:45:47.460 Dundas
00:45:47.840 Ontario
00:45:48.380 that they're
00:45:49.600 going to
00:45:49.800 change the
00:45:50.280 name of
00:45:50.600 the town
00:45:51.020 I'd like
00:45:51.780 to see
00:45:52.280 a poll
00:45:53.660 on that
00:45:53.960 frankly
00:45:54.220 I'd like
00:45:54.500 to see
00:45:54.740 a poll
00:45:55.020 on that
00:45:55.340 in Toronto
00:45:56.000 because there's
00:45:57.200 no way
00:45:57.620 that that
00:45:57.960 kind of
00:45:58.260 bizarre
00:45:58.680 cultural
00:45:59.700 cancel
00:46:00.820 what they're
00:46:01.280 trying to
00:46:01.680 do to
00:46:01.920 Dundas
00:46:02.320 what they
00:46:02.640 did to
00:46:02.900 John A.
00:46:03.240 McDonald
00:46:03.480 they took
00:46:03.840 him off
00:46:04.060 the $10
00:46:04.340 bill
00:46:04.780 and they
00:46:06.540 put the
00:46:06.880 statue of
00:46:07.360 him in
00:46:07.640 a coffin
00:46:08.140 on
00:46:08.400 Queen's
00:46:08.740 Park
00:46:09.060 just
00:46:09.880 atrocious
00:46:10.460 well I
00:46:11.800 took a
00:46:12.020 little bit
00:46:12.300 longer on
00:46:12.820 this than
00:46:13.180 I meant
00:46:13.540 to but
00:46:14.160 it's
00:46:14.680 making me
00:46:15.120 really
00:46:15.360 mad
00:46:15.780 I'm just
00:46:23.920 checking if
00:46:24.400 there's any
00:46:24.860 super chats
00:46:25.920 or anything
00:46:26.300 like that
00:46:26.760 I don't
00:46:27.000 think I
00:46:27.380 see any
00:46:27.920 well
00:46:29.440 we're going
00:46:31.620 to have
00:46:32.160 one more
00:46:33.280 live stream
00:46:34.340 I think
00:46:34.920 before the
00:46:35.480 Christmas break
00:46:36.300 that'll be
00:46:37.720 next week
00:46:38.380 and then
00:46:39.000 Rebel News
00:46:40.000 is going
00:46:40.640 we traditionally
00:46:42.160 take a week
00:46:42.740 off over
00:46:43.840 Christmas
00:46:44.280 and then we
00:46:44.720 rejoin the
00:46:45.320 world
00:46:45.580 and then
00:46:45.780 in January
00:46:46.620 give our
00:46:47.040 people a
00:46:47.500 well-deserved
00:46:47.880 break
00:46:48.300 I should
00:46:48.800 tell you
00:46:49.200 before we
00:46:49.720 go we
00:46:49.940 have a
00:46:50.120 couple
00:46:50.260 minutes
00:46:50.520 to go
00:46:51.000 that we
00:46:52.440 had the
00:46:53.060 Rebbe Awards
00:46:54.380 and the
00:46:55.300 Rebbe Awards
00:46:55.940 are voted
00:46:56.440 on by
00:46:59.000 you
00:46:59.360 by people
00:47:01.140 on our
00:47:02.140 team
00:47:02.500 people
00:47:03.340 viewers
00:47:04.240 and
00:47:05.740 do we
00:47:08.120 have
00:47:08.420 do we
00:47:08.880 have the
00:47:09.200 Rebbe Awards
00:47:09.960 finalists
00:47:11.280 I can look
00:47:11.720 for them
00:47:12.260 on
00:47:13.460 the
00:47:15.680 graphic
00:47:16.080 sure
00:47:16.340 put
00:47:16.580 I was
00:47:16.760 going
00:47:16.880 to
00:47:16.960 look
00:47:17.100 for
00:47:17.260 within
00:47:17.520 our
00:47:17.700 system
00:47:18.100 but we
00:47:20.280 have
00:47:20.480 people
00:47:20.780 vote
00:47:21.300 so those
00:47:23.100 are the
00:47:23.360 I was
00:47:23.960 going to
00:47:24.180 go through
00:47:24.560 six five
00:47:25.480 four three
00:47:25.940 and two
00:47:26.200 because
00:47:26.520 some of
00:47:27.440 the numbers
00:47:27.720 were so
00:47:28.080 extremely
00:47:28.760 close
00:47:29.440 I don't
00:47:31.720 have those
00:47:32.060 numbers in
00:47:32.480 my
00:47:32.640 fingertips
00:47:33.020 but we
00:47:33.460 at our
00:47:34.180 Christmas
00:47:34.460 party
00:47:34.760 we announced
00:47:35.380 not just
00:47:36.360 the top
00:47:36.740 three
00:47:36.980 but we
00:47:37.320 announced
00:47:37.720 the top
00:47:38.540 six
00:47:38.920 because a
00:47:39.480 couple
00:47:39.740 of our
00:47:40.260 contenders
00:47:41.200 you got
00:47:41.980 that
00:47:42.220 I want
00:47:42.700 to show
00:47:43.040 how close
00:47:44.840 it was
00:47:45.420 you know
00:47:47.140 the old
00:47:47.420 saying
00:47:47.660 come on
00:47:48.040 your vote
00:47:48.440 counts
00:47:48.800 every vote
00:47:49.240 counts
00:47:49.680 what if
00:47:50.360 it was
00:47:50.620 just one
00:47:51.100 vote
00:47:51.340 apart
00:47:51.700 I tell
00:47:52.780 you the
00:47:53.060 difference
00:47:53.480 between
00:47:53.900 some of
00:47:54.380 our
00:47:54.500 people
00:47:54.840 was less
00:47:55.540 than one
00:47:56.180 percent
00:47:56.880 going from
00:47:57.660 memory
00:47:57.840 we're just
00:47:58.160 getting the
00:47:58.540 exact stats
00:47:59.080 right now
00:47:59.480 now some
00:48:00.120 people said
00:48:00.540 Ezra I don't
00:48:00.960 want to vote
00:48:01.520 for my best
00:48:02.240 favorite rebel
00:48:03.140 that's like
00:48:03.800 asking me to
00:48:05.100 choose who my
00:48:05.580 favorite child
00:48:06.340 is and
00:48:07.660 and I
00:48:08.740 understand that
00:48:09.420 but I think
00:48:09.940 that there's
00:48:10.260 also a healthy
00:48:10.780 competitive spirit
00:48:11.560 that comes
00:48:11.920 about by
00:48:12.860 voting I
00:48:13.300 myself don't
00:48:13.860 put my name
00:48:14.500 down because
00:48:15.420 I if I
00:48:16.400 were to I
00:48:16.760 don't know
00:48:17.000 how I would
00:48:17.420 do but
00:48:18.480 I don't
00:48:20.820 want to
00:48:21.400 I don't want
00:48:23.600 to put my
00:48:23.920 finger on the
00:48:24.560 scale by being
00:48:25.040 the boss
00:48:25.500 maybe I'm
00:48:28.160 afraid of
00:48:28.480 losing
00:48:28.800 we videoed
00:48:34.080 some of it
00:48:34.420 here let me
00:48:34.900 show a little
00:48:35.340 bit yeah let's
00:48:35.820 just show a
00:48:36.340 little bit

00:48:38.140 do you
00:48:39.600 have that
00:48:40.340 video
00:48:40.700 handy
00:48:41.560 so we'll
00:48:44.020 just show a
00:48:44.540 little bit
00:48:44.820 we had a
00:48:45.340 Christmas get
00:48:46.100 together you
00:48:46.540 can see on
00:48:46.960 the screen

00:48:49.940 Australia
00:48:50.400 joining by
00:48:51.020 Zoom and
00:48:51.560 you can see
00:48:52.280 some of the
00:48:52.640 staff in
00:48:53.640 our world
00:48:54.260 headquarters
00:48:54.840 industrial
00:48:55.620 style office
00:48:57.640 we'll just
00:48:58.240 play a little
00:48:58.840 bit of this
00:48:59.380 while I try
00:49:00.260 and get the
00:49:00.660 actual rankings
00:49:01.580 and final vote
00:49:02.760 count so watch
00:49:03.360 for a minute
00:49:04.000 from our
00:49:04.880 Christmas party
00:49:05.500 where we
00:49:05.840 announce the
00:49:06.340 results and
00:49:07.100 in the meantime
00:49:07.360 I'll try and
00:49:08.120 get you the
00:49:08.500 exact vote
00:49:09.000 count
00:49:09.220 to build
00:49:11.100 to build up
00:49:11.340 the name
00:49:11.760 and face
00:49:12.280 of the
00:49:12.540 talent
00:49:12.860 because you
00:49:13.580 don't want
00:49:13.820 to pay
00:49:14.060 them an
00:49:14.260 extra dollar
00:49:14.800 you don't
00:49:15.080 want them
00:49:15.400 to have
00:49:15.780 extra value
00:49:16.580 frankly you
00:49:17.780 want AI
00:49:18.540 to be
00:49:19.380 sure enough
00:49:20.940 to crank
00:49:21.360 out the
00:49:21.660 content
00:49:22.000 just to get
00:49:22.520 the players
00:49:23.000 we have a
00:49:23.880 different belief
00:49:24.600 we believe
00:49:25.340 that if people
00:49:26.300 come to
00:49:26.960 love and
00:49:28.720 trust and
00:49:30.140 get excited
00:49:30.820 by or
00:49:31.420 recognize our
00:49:32.400 talent
00:49:32.820 then they are
00:49:33.900 more likely to
00:49:34.800 support them
00:49:35.380 when we ask
00:49:36.040 for support
00:49:36.700 which we do
00:49:37.680 every day
00:49:38.400 so with that
00:49:40.340 explication
00:49:41.040 I will now
00:49:43.040 read the
00:49:44.540 top six

00:51:42.100 he does
00:51:42.340 a great
00:51:42.700 job
00:51:43.100 and he
00:51:44.700 goes
00:51:45.000 very
00:51:45.360 courageously
00:51:45.840 to places
00:51:46.220 like his
00:51:46.580 coverage
00:51:46.880 of the
00:51:47.240 Hamas
00:51:47.660 Israel
00:51:47.940 war
00:51:48.180 has been
00:51:48.440 excellent
00:51:48.800 but it
00:51:49.920 is nice
00:51:50.300 to see
00:51:50.600 David

00:51:51.820 place

00:51:54.780 Drea
00:51:55.080 I'm

00:51:57.900 in part
00:51:58.340 for her
00:51:58.800 vote

00:51:59.480 absolutely
00:52:00.080 kosher

00:52:01.540 great
00:52:01.900 and it's
00:52:02.560 nice
00:52:02.720 to see

00:52:04.840 she won

00:52:07.460 we had
00:52:07.860 you saw
00:52:08.480 those little
00:52:08.840 trophies

00:52:17.500 company
00:52:17.900 on a
00:52:18.700 commercial
00:52:19.020 basis
00:52:19.440 people who

00:52:21.500 award
00:52:21.920 for a
00:52:22.280 young
00:52:22.440 staffer
00:52:23.000 so it
00:52:24.380 was really
00:52:24.620 fun
00:52:24.920 and we
00:52:25.120 had sort
00:52:25.400 of a
00:52:25.560 low-key
00:52:25.860 Christmas
00:52:26.220 party
00:52:26.600 I should
00:52:27.760 say that
00:52:28.180 during the
00:52:28.920 lockdowns
00:52:29.500 during the
00:52:29.740 pandemic
00:52:30.040 we had
00:52:30.440 some very
00:52:30.760 exciting
00:52:31.080 Christmas
00:52:31.380 parties
00:52:31.740 because
00:52:32.400 there was
00:52:32.760 sort of
00:52:33.040 a danger
00:52:34.380 to them
00:52:34.780 because we
00:52:35.260 were meeting
00:52:35.700 illegally
00:52:36.280 we had
00:52:37.380 a Christmas
00:52:37.740 party
00:52:38.120 when the
00:52:38.440 government
00:52:38.640 said no
00:52:39.100 you're not
00:52:39.400 allowed
00:52:39.620 to do
00:52:40.000 so
00:52:40.240 but we
00:52:41.380 did so
00:52:41.760 anyways
00:52:42.180 well listen
00:52:43.400 I spent a lot
00:52:44.260 of time
00:52:44.560 talking about
00:52:45.160 Henry Dundas
00:52:45.940 and a lot
00:52:46.480 of time
00:52:46.800 talking about
00:52:47.700 the 50 year
00:52:48.320 old man
00:52:48.660 swimming with
00:52:49.180 the teenagers
00:52:49.640 but I think
00:52:50.060 those are
00:52:50.320 important stories
00:52:50.860 on my mind
00:52:51.400 and maybe
00:52:51.660 they're important
00:52:52.120 to you as
00:52:52.520 well
00:52:52.720 I thank you
00:52:54.300 for letting

00:52:55.940 today
00:52:56.560 I don't
00:52:56.880 think I saw
00:52:57.360 any super
00:52:57.760 chats
00:52:58.060 but maybe
00:52:58.800 I wasn't
00:52:59.100 keeping my
00:52:59.480 eyes peeled
00:52:59.900 and I'm
00:53:01.420 going to leave

00:53:05.420 outside
00:53:06.060 Justin Trudeau's
00:53:07.120 event

00:53:13.060 this clip
00:53:13.640 talked to
00:53:15.000 someone who
00:53:15.380 said absolutely
00:53:16.220 Hamas is
00:53:16.980 top notch
00:53:17.720 stuff
00:53:18.160 to which I

00:53:21.500 you with
00:53:22.160 the new
00:53:22.560 face
00:53:23.020 of the
00:53:23.860 politics
00:53:24.460 on the
00:53:24.760 streets
00:53:25.080 of Canada
00:53:26.020 including
00:53:26.400 Vancouver
00:53:26.900 which I
00:53:27.320 used to
00:53:27.620 think was
00:53:27.960 a pretty
00:53:28.620 groovy
00:53:28.980 town
00:53:29.380 here's

00:53:31.420 you later
00:53:31.660 everybody
00:53:32.000 what does
00:53:33.980 a ceasefire
00:53:34.740 look like
00:53:35.420 should Hamas
00:53:36.340 lay down
00:53:36.960 their arms
00:53:37.480 at all
00:53:37.860 or return
00:53:38.360 the hostages
00:53:39.200 how come
00:53:40.080 no because
00:53:40.760 40 since
00:53:41.860 1948
00:53:42.620 it's been
00:53:43.220 70 years
00:53:43.960 they've been
00:53:44.300 killing
00:53:44.580 this is not
00:53:45.140 new
00:53:45.440 this is
00:53:46.200 something not
00:53:46.780 new
00:53:46.980 this is
00:53:47.600 didn't just
00:53:48.420 happen right
00:53:49.040 now
00:53:49.320 it's been
00:53:49.600 happening
00:53:49.960 for years
00:53:50.600 Israel has
00:53:51.760 to go
00:53:52.260 what would
00:53:53.560 happen to
00:53:54.200 the people
00:53:54.600 who live
00:53:54.980 in Israel
00:53:55.420 now
00:53:55.740 where would
00:53:56.080 they go
00:53:56.540 they will
00:53:57.380 stay there
00:53:58.020 just their
00:53:59.000 government
00:53:59.420 we're not
00:53:59.900 talking about
00:54:00.400 the people
00:54:00.840 we're talking
00:54:01.360 about the
00:54:01.960 government
00:54:02.340 right
00:54:02.680 so do you
00:54:03.080 think October
00:54:03.760 7th was
00:54:04.540 warranted
00:54:05.200 October 7th
00:54:06.560 do you think
00:54:06.900 it was warranted
00:54:07.700 what Hamas
00:54:08.340 did then
00:54:08.920 on October 7th
00:54:09.740 October 7th
00:54:10.960 a lot of
00:54:11.320 stuff happened
00:54:11.940 before that

00:54:13.420 surprised
