00:00:00.000 Well, it's now 7.20 and the Pitt Meadows Council has disappeared.
00:00:10.080 They've kind of, they were about to start the meeting and then we didn't wear our masks
00:00:15.200 and then now they've all disappeared.
00:00:21.760 Are you guys having a protest in here? No, no. We're just trying to. We're just waiting for our
00:00:26.240 friends. I don't see that this is a protest. I wanted to hear what Amina Simpson has to say.
00:00:34.320 So you want to hear what the mayor says. You want to hear what
00:00:37.520 Councillor Simpson says. You want to hear what Tanya Goss says.
00:00:41.280 I just want to know why the council was delaying this meeting.
00:00:46.080 The policy that just came out from the government said that no order or act
00:01:01.760 supersedes that if anybody has reasons they can't wear a mask,
00:01:05.200 that that needs to be honored and respected.
00:01:16.080 I'm not, I'm, you guys, please understand.
00:01:18.560 I'm an advocate for the RCMP. I love you.
00:01:21.680 I know what it is you're trying to do.
00:01:23.040 The man has asked.
00:01:23.840 Now let's go outside and we can discuss this further.
00:01:25.200 This is a free country. Do you understand what you're participating in here?
00:01:28.320 We're asking you to step outside.
00:01:29.520 Oh boy. How many?
00:01:31.120 One?
00:01:35.200 We're trying to do this. We're trying to do that right now.
00:01:39.440 We're trying to have that discussion outside.
00:01:40.800 You haven't provided me anything from the criminal code that says that I work in law.
00:01:45.600 We don't only enforce the criminal code.
00:01:47.120 We'll also enforce provincial statutes and municipal statutes.
00:01:50.320 But if you knew the law, you understand that there is no provincial statutes that can supersede.
00:01:55.120 If you put your mask on, yeah.
00:01:56.560 Our civil rights are going down the drain.
00:02:00.000 And you guys are enforcing them.
00:02:02.240 We're just really sad.
00:02:03.440 So ma'am, we can talk about this outside.
00:02:05.680 Ma'am, we're right here.
00:02:06.560 We can talk about this outside.
00:02:07.840 But at this time right now.
00:02:09.120 But at this time right now.
00:02:13.680 But at this time right now.
00:02:15.680 So I'm trying to accuse you.
00:02:16.960 But you staying here is also a continuation of the offense right now.
00:02:19.680 Excuse me, the power to arrest you.
00:02:20.880 I do not want to do that.
00:02:21.840 That's what I am trying to avoid.
00:02:23.440 Okay, but what I'm asking is what have I done to break the law?
00:02:26.800 Where is the act?
00:02:28.080 The mayor explained it.
00:02:30.000 Community Charter Act has been explained it.
00:02:31.680 I think Charter Act has that power to ask you for this building.
00:02:34.080 Do you think?
00:02:34.720 No, we're not going to sit and show you right now.
00:02:37.280 We'll go outside and talk about this.
00:02:38.560 The mayor said, the mayor said, the mayor said, the mayor said, the mayor said.
00:02:44.440 They were sitting here without masks.
00:02:46.480 Could you just do this for our girls?
00:02:48.240 Thank you so much.
00:02:48.560 I'm doing this for the future of your girls.
00:02:52.240 Because this is absolutely...
00:02:53.360 Twelve-year-old girls.
00:02:54.520 Could you just go for our twelve-year-old girls? 1.00
00:02:56.320 Please.
00:02:56.880 This is absolute tyranny for us.
00:02:58.480 It's tyranny for us too.
00:03:00.840 Social media posts from the BC Lions home opener detail people taking pictures near
00:03:09.640 and with Dr. Henry all without masks. 0.98
00:03:15.160 You're shameful. You're supposed to uphold the law. 0.73
00:03:25.560 Do you guys understand what you are doing to your country,
00:03:28.600 what you're contributing in? You're the front line for the tyranny.
00:03:32.840 I sat there quietly six feet apart from anybody else with an idea that I was going to have the
00:03:38.200 right today to express myself. I've been respectful. I've obeyed the law.
00:03:45.080 If a person presiding in a council meeting considers that another person at the meeting is acting
00:03:50.600 improperly, that person presiding may order that that person is expelled from the meeting. If a
00:03:57.320 person who's expelled did not leave the meeting, a peace officer, may enforce the order under
00:04:02.040 subsection one as if it were a court order. Absolutely. But I'm just wondering where
00:04:06.120 were we acting properly? By not wearing a mask, that's what the mayor said.
00:04:09.720 Okay, so we've been sat here for almost an hour. They said nothing to us, right? It's okay,
00:04:14.440 at least say something. Nobody's come up to us. They asked us and we said we do have exemptions.
00:04:19.000 They actually said it was okay. They said it was okay. The mayor asked you to leave. Under the civic
00:04:27.400 accord, you must leave.
00:04:32.440 Because this is our workplace, the rules are set fit to leave by the provincial health bodies for that.
00:04:39.720 The second one is that I know that my council colleagues that are here at the dais have all
00:04:45.640 been double vaccinated. And in fact, I've had a third vaccination about three weeks ago. And so
00:04:52.360 we have the, as colleagues, we have the comfort of knowing that we've all been double vaccinated or greater.
00:05:08.920 So
00:05:24.040 we have to be Connected to a community of disconnected
00:05:30.420 and a connectivity.
00:05:30.920 I'd love to know.
