00:01:23.780
to protecting faith, family, and freedom. For some of you here tonight, it's your very first time
00:01:31.980
attending the Empower Hour and it's always my pleasure to introduce you to Tanya Gaw, the founder
00:01:38.340
of Action for Canada. For the past seven years, Tanya has been working to bring awareness to destructive
00:01:45.040
government policies that are tearing apart our beloved country. And with Action for Canada,
00:01:50.740
Tanya and her team have created an amazing campaign to bring truth to our nation.
00:01:57.700
Because of Tanya's great love for our country, she is always willing to share information regarding
00:02:03.580
our rights and freedoms, and her goal is to teach and empower each and every Canadian to think critically
00:02:10.700
and to learn how to stand up for their rights. Tanya's faith in God gives her the courage and strength
00:02:16.980
to take a stand as she helps and inspires hurting people all across this nation. And of course,
00:02:23.380
every week we look forward to hearing Tanya's valuable updates, new information, and exciting wins.
00:02:29.700
Will you please help me welcome the lovely Tanya Gaw?
00:02:36.580
Hi, Heather. Thank you so much for that lovely introduction as always. It's just amazing to be
00:02:44.100
part of this team, but I just want to give always every week a big shout out to our team because
00:02:49.540
you and I are the faces here on the weekly Empower Hour, but we have so many people volunteering,
00:02:55.540
Sheila, Holly, Jenny in the chat to make sure you have the information that you need. Heather's always
00:03:01.300
putting so much time into that orientation that starts at 4.45 PST time and providing the updates.
00:03:09.540
So Heather, thank you so much for all the work that you do as well.
00:03:13.860
And we are so excited to welcome Tom Quiggan once again to the Empower Hour. Tom is a man of many
00:03:20.420
talents and qualifications. He has over 30 years of practical intelligence experience in a variety of
00:03:27.300
positions including the RCMP, the Bank of Canada, the Canadian Armed Forces, and more. He is a court
00:03:35.060
qualified expert on terrorism in both the federal and criminal courts, and he is highly qualified to
00:03:41.700
provide expert testimony in response to the government's malfeasance regarding the so-called
00:03:47.700
COVID crisis. He has repeatedly called out elected officials, senators, and police in response to their
00:03:55.780
appalling lies regarding the trucker's convoy. Much of his current research focuses on issues of free
00:04:02.420
speech, extremism, and social unrest. And he is also an author and co-author of several books. Tonight, Tom
00:04:10.980
will be discussing the agenda to implement digital ID and the purpose of creating a social credit system
00:04:18.660
that will ultimately give the government total control over every aspect of our lives. Will you please
00:04:24.900
help me welcome Tom Quiggan? Tom, we're so happy you can join us today and welcome to the Empower Hour.
00:04:33.380
Well, thanks. It's great to be here again and always, always fun to be here because there's always a ton
00:04:38.580
of interesting stuff to talk about. Good to have you on the show, Tom. Thanks for that. I kind of want to
00:04:45.460
just get right in here and dig into it. I always love when Heather comes on because there's so many,
00:04:50.020
you know, you know, new people that join our show or who are unfamiliar with you, maybe. And you're terror,
00:04:56.500
you're an expert in terrorism. You've worked with the RCMP and ceases, you know, strategy and tactics.
00:05:03.220
You're very well versed on so many things so that when we have a tyrannical government as we, as such as we do
00:05:10.260
today, coming in, I'd have a good idea that this is something you probably thought you were
00:05:16.340
only going to experience in foreign countries. And here it is on our own land. And I just can't
00:05:23.940
imagine how you feel about that after, you know, going to combat for Canada and doing so many things
00:05:32.340
in your history and having so many allies of veterans, whom you're also involved with,
00:05:38.900
with Veterans for Freedom, who fought for this country and to consider the state Canada is in.
00:05:44.740
Can you maybe open up and I wouldn't mind if you comment, you know, on that a little bit as to
00:05:51.380
did you ever think that you'd see a day that we were, you know, coming up against our own government in
00:05:56.660
such a way? Yeah, it's been a fascinating ride for the last few years. That's for sure.
00:06:03.620
Veterans for Freedom, for instance, was formed by a bunch of veterans. Obviously, it came out of the
00:06:08.740
convoy and it came out of the idea that we said, you know, we can't have that kind of thing happen
00:06:14.420
again. We can't have that kind of brutality expressed by the state against the citizenry.
00:06:20.420
Now, what's interesting is for a bunch of us, I served in places like Bosnia and Croatia.
00:06:24.980
We've got guys that served in Iraq, Afghanistan. We've got veterans who've served in, you know,
00:06:29.860
Cyprus, the Golan Heights, Gaza, just, you know, every horrible place in the world, Mali, Vietnam,
00:06:38.580
whatever. And we collectively look at ourselves and we wonder, like, what are we doing as a group?
00:06:46.100
Why are we here? Why are we involved in this? And the answer is all of those things we worked overseas
00:06:52.340
to try and stop the aggression, the tyranny, the arbitrary expression of power by government.
00:07:00.980
Our government sent us overseas to work against those kinds of things in Bosnia, Croatia, Iraq,
00:07:05.700
Afghanistan, wherever. And yet now we turn around and we're actually looking at ourselves saying the
00:07:11.620
biggest fight yet might be right here in Canada. And to us, it's shocking. The other thing is we like
00:07:18.340
to tell people and say, look, you can like us. You can dislike us. You can respect us. You can
00:07:22.580
disrespect us. We're not really all that worried about it. But we would like to say this. We know
00:07:28.420
what stupid looks like. We know what tyranny looks like. We know what violence looks like,
00:07:33.620
because we've been there. We've seen it. We've done it. When you go to a place like Croatia or Bosnia
00:07:39.460
or Serbia or, you know, a bunch of other places, Iraq, parts of Afghanistan, some of those countries
00:07:44.740
were truly beautiful in the past. Yugoslavia being a great example, it wasn't that bad a place
00:07:51.380
until tyranny was unleashed, until the politics of identity took over the different governments.
00:07:57.380
And then they ripped the place apart, maskered each other, raped each other, genocide, war crimes,
00:08:01.940
camps. Oh, it just it was like World War Two all over again, but on a smaller scale in terms of the
00:08:07.860
atrocities. So we recognize when stupid is happening and we recognize when tyrannical is happening.
00:08:15.460
And we'd like to tell people it's starting to happen here. We hear the same voices, the same words,
00:08:21.620
the same approaches. So to kind of move along to sort of transition from that to tonight's, you know,
00:08:28.180
actual subject, which is digital I.D., call it digital apartheid, whatever you want to call it.
00:08:34.500
It is a form of digital tyranny. It is another way of a centralized government expressing absolute power
00:08:43.780
over its citizenry. And a lot of people say, well, it's a conspiracy theory and tell me you're crazy
00:08:48.740
and whatever. So I'm going to say, OK, tonight we're not going to talk about the future. We're going to talk
00:08:53.460
about what's happening today, what has already happened. So in other words, no conspiracy theories,
00:09:01.540
no future looks, whatever. Let's just talk about what's happening. So first question I'd like to
00:09:06.580
know is digital tyranny possible in Canada. And the answer is, yes, it's already happened. I'm one of
00:09:13.460
the people it's happened to. So I'm quite aware of it. So what happened during the convoy? The government
00:09:19.540
truly decided it didn't like the convoy, didn't like the people there or whatever. So they froze bank
00:09:25.140
accounts, they froze payment systems, they froze credit cards and stuff like that. So when they
00:09:32.500
were asked afterwards, like, why did they do this? The RCMP assistant commissioner, a fellow by the
00:09:38.020
name of Arkand, actually stated that the purpose was directed at key protest figures and they wanted to,
00:09:45.940
quote, discourage the people that are influencing the protests, unquote. So they weren't saying
00:09:53.140
criminal money was involved. They weren't saying terrorist money was involved. They weren't saying
00:09:59.060
you were funding anything illegal. They said it was done to discourage people. So in other words,
00:10:05.780
they were trying to use shutting off your financial life as a way of silencing you. Now, they also said in
00:10:11.940
later testimony, and this was amazing that they said it out loud, that it was designed to discourage
00:10:16.820
other people from donating to the convoy. In other words, they were going to illegally crush the lives
00:10:21.940
of some people to frighten everyone else. Now, most fascinating was the FinTrack director of
00:10:29.700
intelligence that testified. And FinTrack is supposed to track terrorist money, criminal money,
00:10:36.260
money, offshore tax evasion money, that kind of stuff. And the director of intelligence there,
00:10:42.580
a guy by the name of Barry McKillop said he didn't actually see any threat from the convoy.
00:10:46.900
As far as he was concerned, there was no terrorism money, no criminal money, no drug money, nothing.
00:10:52.660
So the government of Canada, and here's the bottom line, has frozen bank accounts, credit cards and payment
00:10:59.140
systems in order to punish those people they don't like. And by the way, they were able to do that
00:11:04.180
digitally. A flick is a switch, a phone call to a bank, and your entire financial life stops.
00:11:11.860
So there it is, the precedent's been set, it's been done, it can be done, and it's going to be
00:11:18.500
done towards people the government chooses not to like, not because you're a drug dealer or a terrorist
00:11:23.940
or a murderer or a rapist or something like that. So that sets the precedent, it's already there.
00:11:29.780
Now, one of the, I think the worst possible things that could occur is already happening. It's the
00:11:36.820
World Economic Forum and their so-called travel card, and I guess it's properly known as the
00:11:42.900
Known Traveler Digital Identity. So what's going to happen is they want to put an app on your phone,
00:11:49.940
and it'll be called the digital identity app. And this test program isn't a concept, it's not an idea,
00:11:59.860
it's not a suggestion, it's happening now. Who's doing it? Well, three different groups of people
00:12:05.300
are doing it. The World Economic Forum, the government of Canada, and the government of the
00:12:11.060
Netherlands are the primary sponsors of this thing. And they're doing it in conjunction with Pearson
00:12:16.900
Airport, Trudeau Airport, Air Canada, KLM, and a few others. Now, here's the interesting thing,
00:12:22.740
you can apply to the government to get this thing. Or if you happen to be in Pearson Airport,
00:12:27.140
you can apply for it there at the Air Canada booth, which is called, and I'm not making this up,
00:12:33.060
it's called the Digital ID and Facial Recognition Booth. So they're not even kind of trying to hide it,
00:12:41.940
that facial recognition, digital ID, all of this stuff is going to be tied together. Now,
00:12:47.540
there's a guy out there named David Gooch, he's the president of the Canadian Airports Council.
00:12:52.980
And I think I got to read his quote directly, because it's just worth hearing. So what does the
00:12:58.740
Council of Canadian Airports think? Quote, maybe you do not see an individual at all,
00:13:03.780
as you walk through the customs hall, your verification is done through your facial ID,
00:13:09.540
which is connected to your known traveler digital identification, which is connected to your digital
00:13:16.260
health information, which is connected to your digital travel documentation. So there they are,
00:13:22.980
they're saying the quiet part out loud, and they actually seem proud of it. They're going to have
00:13:27.300
one app on your phone, which will have everything on it, your health stuff, your travel stuff, your
00:13:34.180
home residence, your phone number, your digital travel documentation, everything. Now, on the one
00:13:39.860
hand, people say, well, hey, you know, this is kind of cool, I can have everything on one app,
00:13:43.860
it's all there, everything's great. Well, the flip side of this is it's called the known traveler digital
00:13:50.740
identity. And the controlling body of this is going to be the World Economic Forum. So imagine there's
00:13:57.060
some kind of huge storm, there's another panic, there's some kind of big terrorist attack or
00:14:01.380
whatever. And everybody's thrown into upheaval. Well, guess what, the World Economic Forum bureaucrats
00:14:07.620
will be able to reach into the system and turn off your digital ID, if they some reason choose to
00:14:14.900
dislike you, oh, you only have three vaccines, and not four. So we've just decided as of today,
00:14:21.700
you can't enter Canada, you can't enter America, you can't do whatever. And they
00:14:26.980
just turn it off digitally. And there you go, you're done, your ID is gone, your passport's
00:14:33.460
gone, your ability to travel is gone, everything's turned off, and you are stuck. So what we're looking
00:14:39.380
at is a group of bureaucrats at the World Economic Forum, in conjunction with the government of Canada,
00:14:44.020
the airlines, etc, will be able to control your ability to move and travel. And basically,
00:14:52.020
it's a social credit score system. If they don't like your digital health information,
00:14:56.100
your travel information, your identification, or whatever, they can with a flick of a switch,
00:15:00.740
turn you off, and you basically cease to exist as a human being, and you are left destitute and stuck
00:15:07.620
wherever you are. Now, little fun fact here, just so folks know, the two countries that are behind this
00:15:13.620
the most are Canada and the Netherlands. And maybe it's just a coincidence. But Canada and the
00:15:20.340
Netherlands are the two countries who are both guess what, at the leading edge of the World Economic
00:15:25.700
Forum's other great program, nitrogen management, in response to their so called climate change problem.
00:15:33.540
Purely a coincidence, I'm sure nothing's going on there. Anyway, perhaps the most important thing here
00:15:40.100
in Canada that folks need to pay attention to is the central bank digital currency. Kind of a complicated
00:15:48.580
concept here, but also kind of simple. Basically, what the government is saying right now is they're
00:15:54.100
saying, look, money exists in two forms, you have cash in your wallet or coins, and you've got a variety
00:16:01.780
of payment systems, your debit card, your visa card, you can pay with interact and that kind of stuff.
00:16:07.620
And the government says, look, you know, that's kind of cumbersome, but we really want to get rid of
00:16:11.380
all of that. And we want to go to a single digital currency, which will be controlled by the central
00:16:19.220
bank. So this isn't Bitcoin, this isn't Ethereum, this isn't Ripple. This is the central banks deciding
00:16:26.820
they'll get rid of cash, get rid of all the payment systems and go to a central bank digital currency.
00:16:32.580
No more cash, no more of this, no more of that. Now, it's not just Canada doing this,
00:16:37.920
the European Central Bank's doing it, the Chinese Central Bank's doing it, Bahamas, Japan, Switzerland,
00:16:42.660
the Bank of England, Sweden, Norway, and a whole bunch of other countries are looking at doing this.
00:16:47.900
Now, ironically enough, we agreed to talk about this yesterday. And what happens today,
00:16:52.120
the Financial Post came out with an article talking about the central bank creating a digital
00:16:57.060
currency, and they say there's 15 people working on it. The International Monetary Fund identifies
00:17:02.920
Canada and says there's actually 50 people working on it. So I'm not sure what the truth is there.
00:17:07.580
But obviously, the central bank is working on a digital currency. Now, it's the same sort of thing.
00:17:14.420
Once again, it sounds like a great idea, everything will be simple, you'll be able to make payments,
00:17:18.660
you'll be able to transfer money internationally, be able to send 20 bucks to your grandmother,
00:17:22.300
whatever you want to do. It's all great. But here's the downside of the central bank digital
00:17:28.700
currency. Every penny will be tracked forever. Every dollar will be tracked forever. So if I decide
00:17:36.480
to buy a couch from my neighbor for 150 bucks, they'll know about that. If you send 20 bucks to
00:17:41.900
your grandmother, they'll know about that. If you donate money to something like, I don't know,
00:17:47.160
a Freedom Convoy, and then the government decides they don't like the Freedom Convoy,
00:17:52.160
or if you donate money to a political cause, a research cause, an overseas cause, or whatever,
00:17:58.800
and the government chooses to dislike that cause, they can turn off your money, period, all of it.
00:18:05.500
And they can also track any penny you ever spent and where that went next, and after that, and after
00:18:11.900
that. So if we actually go to a central bank digital currency system, you functionally become a slave of
00:18:20.960
government. In other words, anything you do to upset them, or if they feel, you know, angry at you
00:18:27.200
because you oppose something, they can track your entire financial life instantly, and everybody
00:18:33.280
around you, anybody you've ever talked to, and oh yeah, by the way, turn it off and utterly destroy
00:18:40.400
you financially. Not a place to get into it here, but Bitcoin and everything else. I know a lot of
00:18:46.860
people think Bitcoin is the savior, and it's going to be all this stuff, but the central banks and the
00:18:51.280
government are also lining up Bitcoin, and they're going to do something worse to Bitcoin than going
00:18:55.740
to ban it. They're going to regulate it. In other words, people think, well, you'll be able to go to
00:19:01.220
Bitcoin, and the answer is, yeah, not so much. That's going to be really hard too. So if we go to a
00:19:06.620
central bank digital currency system, any sort of sense of freedom, independence, a life outside of
00:19:13.940
government, gone. You become a financial serf, I think is actually the fair term. You're not really
00:19:21.000
a slave, you're more of a serf. You become a financial serf to the government. Now, the great
00:19:26.340
granddaddy of all these things that's happening right now, the fourth one we'll talk about here is
00:19:32.360
the Arrive Can app, which a lot of folks are familiar with, another thing you're supposed to
00:19:36.460
stick on your phone. The government's blown about $25 million on the software development.
00:19:43.860
It doesn't work on a number of different levels. There's a whole bunch of problems with it.
00:19:49.680
So let's just quickly look at the problems and then say, well, why are they doing this? Well,
00:19:54.860
the first problem with the app is it doesn't actually work in a real-world scenario. In other words,
00:20:00.760
there have been people who are quadruple vaccinated. They have tested negative leaving
00:20:07.100
the country and reentering the country. And then they get this notice that says you have to quarantine
00:20:11.260
for 14 days. And of course, people are outraged, especially the quadruple vax folks. And so, you
00:20:16.580
know, well, I did everything right. Why am I in trouble? And as it turns out, apparently the app just
00:20:20.680
doesn't work right. Every now and again, it has a little fit and it decides to quarantine people due to
00:20:25.200
some software bug. So that's kind of the first simplistic problem. The second problem is a little
00:20:32.000
more difficult to understand, but it, again, it shows the complete illogic of the system. So
00:20:37.440
in order to get your Arrive Can app, in order to travel recently up until just a little while ago,
00:20:44.480
you had to be double vaccinated. They still want to see your vaccine certificates and all this,
00:20:50.400
you have to load them on your Arrive Can app. So here's the issue. The first two vaccines were
00:20:57.880
aimed at the original COVID-19 virus. Now forget the efficacy, forget everything else, but that's
00:21:05.960
what they were aimed at. Now, we all know that we've gone to the next variant, the next variant,
00:21:12.580
Omicron, and now we're into the Omicron sub-variants. So they want to see all these vaccine
00:21:19.400
certificates for the first two shots and everything else. And if you've been vaccinated and all this,
00:21:23.460
but the two shots they're asking about are for a virus, which no longer really matters. It's gone.
00:21:29.480
It's kind of gone away. We're onto the next problem here, guys, but that's what it's looking at. So
00:21:33.740
even if you accept the idea of the Arrive Can app and you accept the government's belief system,
00:21:39.440
which you shouldn't, but let's for fun, just do it for a bit. The actual application itself makes
00:21:45.020
no logical sense. The other problem with the vaccine, of course, it's highly intrusive.
00:21:50.480
All you're really required to cross the border is a passport. I mean, if you demand vaccines,
00:21:56.960
all you really need is a vaccine certificate to meet their standard. But oh no, you've got to have
00:22:02.120
this thing out of your name, address, where you're traveling, who you met, who you stayed with,
00:22:06.420
who you're going to quarantine with, and all this intrusive stuff. Now, just by an example,
00:22:12.860
an American citizen from Seattle who comes to Canada all the time, finally decided to fill out
00:22:18.520
the stupid app, get it all done. He gets up to here to Canada. He gets across the border. The guy
00:22:23.800
says, how are you doing? Everything's great. Come on into Canada. Then he gets on his phone and he
00:22:27.900
deletes the app, thinking that I'm in Canada. I've entered. I don't need it anymore. He gets a phone
00:22:34.040
call about two hours later and tells him he must reinstall the app. He now has to provide him his hotel,
00:22:39.680
his hotel room, who he else might be staying with, who he might be meeting with. And if he doesn't
00:22:45.140
immediately reinstall the app, he could be banned from entering Canada again. And you go, why? He met
00:22:51.820
all the standards to get in here according to their own system, and still they're going after him. So
00:22:57.700
here's another little thing about it. The app annoys people. It is frustratingly stupid to hard to work
00:23:06.900
with. I've worked with computer stuff since the mid-1980s, and I find this listing just annoyingly
00:23:12.580
stupid. Now, here's the problem. A lot of people find it annoyingly stupid as well. They find it
00:23:17.900
intrusive and they find it unconstitutional. So a lot of people just aren't traveling anymore. They say,
00:23:23.140
to hell with it. I won't cross the U.S. border. And more importantly, a whole bunch of Americans are
00:23:27.840
saying they won't fill it out. And tourism has dropped by about as much as 50%, according to the
00:23:33.820
tourism people, because of this stupid, unrequired, non-functional, not working app. So, you know,
00:23:43.320
even by government standards, you kind of have to look at this thing and say, why do they insist on
00:23:49.400
doing it? And my feeling is, my belief is, based on having been involved in this stuff for a few
00:23:56.880
decades now, that the Arrive Can app is a social credit scoring system being put into place via
00:24:06.500
the side door. So the government is sticking to this thing, or they seem to be. They're pouring
00:24:13.860
a gazillion dollars into it. They're damaging tourism. They're upsetting everybody, but they keep
00:24:18.420
on doing it. And my sense very much is they want to get you used to the idea that you have to have an
00:24:24.240
app on your phone that will tell the government who you are, where you've been, what you're doing,
00:24:29.240
where you've traveled. Now, what is a social credit scoring system? Again, this isn't a conspiracy
00:24:36.140
theory. This is already in place in China. Your phone via something like the Arrive Can app will assign
00:24:44.120
you a score. Oh, you're a good citizen. You've got your seventh vaccine, which is what they're aiming
00:24:51.020
for right now, which is to say the original three plus one every three months for the next year.
00:24:56.340
So, oh, yeah, you got all seven shots. You don't say anything bad on Twitter.
00:25:01.880
Your taxes are up to date. You didn't donate any money to the convoys. You get a high social credit
00:25:07.700
score. Now, let's assume you did say something mean about Trudeau on Twitter. You did donate money
00:25:14.980
to the convo. And you told them to stuff their vaccination process after the third shot and said,
00:25:21.100
I'm not getting the next four shots. Your social credit score drops significantly. So in China,
00:25:28.240
you go to get on a high speed chain train to get between two different cities. And you're told,
00:25:33.300
yeah, you can't get this ticket because your social credit score is too low. Your child decides to apply
00:25:40.880
for a really good university and they get in because they're really smart, but they don't get in. Why
00:25:45.560
not? Your social credit score is too low. So your child's not going to university. Oh, you got you
00:25:52.940
applied for that promotion at work. Yeah, not going to happen. Why not? Your social credit score is too
00:26:00.040
low. In other words, digital identity, a digital passport, a digital banking system, a digital central bank
00:26:09.600
currency system. All of this stuff rolled together is your digital identity. And it gives the government
00:26:16.300
100% absolute immediate control over every aspect of your life. In other words, any sense of freedom
00:26:26.700
is gone. And what you're left with is a system of absolute tyranny. So if you want to live in communist
00:26:35.420
China, if you want to have your life totally controlled by a bunch of communist party bureaucrats
00:26:40.280
who are not accountable in any way, shape or form, then digital ID is great. If however, you have any
00:26:47.200
sense of freedom, any sense of independence, any sense of self-reliance, any sense of freedom of speech,
00:26:53.560
any sense of family rights, religious lights, or anything like that, then digital ID should be regarded
00:27:00.040
exactly for what it is, which is centralized government tyranny, which they can execute at the
00:27:10.920
literal touch of a keyboard. Now, just for one last little thought here, there have been some of the
00:27:18.100
most horrible governments in the world, the government of the Soviet Union, the government
00:27:20.940
of Eastern Germany. These guys did everything they could to oppress their populations to control them.
00:27:27.500
But even at their worst, the Stasi intelligence service in East Germany never had the kind of
00:27:36.040
power and control that Justin Trudeau could exercise when he shut off everybody's bank accounts of folks
00:27:43.580
that they decided they didn't like. In other words, the degree of tyranny is greater now than it was
00:27:52.020
under the Communist Soviet Union, under it was under, say, for instance, Hitler's Germany, under Franco's
00:27:58.760
Spain, whatever. So the potential for this is very, very serious. So this is why I think folks need to
00:28:07.420
sort of get educated about it and start hitting back at it and start hitting back at the thin end of the
00:28:12.800
wedge. In other words, the Arrive Can app is probably a great place to start and just say,
00:28:17.400
we're done with this thing. We're not doing it. The central bank digital currency would be another
00:28:22.680
one. It's not there yet. There's no timeline to apply it. But the fact they've got a bunch of
00:28:27.660
people working on it tells you that's where they're headed. So now is the time, I think,
00:28:32.960
to push at it. So closing thought here. And Tanya and I talked about this a bit before I started.
00:28:38.780
There's a lot of bad stuff going on right now. The digital ID thing is bad. The can app thing is
00:28:44.920
bad. The it looks like this fall, we're going to be told we're going to get more lockdowns,
00:28:49.300
more forced vaccination, whatever. But don't forget, there's also a lot of good things going on.
00:28:54.720
The government of New Zealand, which was one of the most oppressive and idiotic governments in the
00:29:00.660
entire vaccine world, actually gave up last week and scrapped everything. Hallelujah. The government
00:29:09.320
of Denmark came out today and said for folks 50 and under, no more vaccine program. They're going to
00:29:15.400
scrap the whole thing. 50 and over, if you're immunocompromised, if you've got multiple
00:29:20.980
comorbidities, then you can take it. But it's your choice if you want to take it, which is like a
00:29:27.720
completely fair way of doing it. So there's a lot of good stuff going on. And I'll just finish by
00:29:33.040
saying, look, the convoy, Op Rolling Thunder, Op Dignity, James Topps, Freedom March across Canada,
00:29:41.360
all of these things have had an effect. And for the first time in a few years, I'm actually amazed
00:29:48.400
to watch the government of Justin Trudeau doing a complete 180 degree shift. And now all of a sudden,
00:29:55.740
he's worried about other people being divisive. He's worried about inflation. And it's like,
00:30:02.500
gee, something has changed. The government is actually, I think, for the first time on its back
00:30:08.380
foot. And it looks like it's starting to panic a bit. So I would say to folks, be encouraged,
00:30:14.940
be of good cheer. There's still problems. There's problems coming. Times are going to be rough.
00:30:20.680
But good things are finally happening. And there's a reason to be encouraged. So anyway,
00:30:25.520
that was a bit of a rant, Tanya. But there we go.
00:30:28.840
Oh, no, I love listening to your rants, Tom. I didn't want to interrupt at all. Because like I
00:30:36.120
said, you're a man with a wealth of knowledge. And you just seem to flow with the information.
00:30:41.720
I was taking notes as you were talking. And I know that you and I, we're going to have a little
00:30:47.200
bit of a conversation about some of the points. One of the things that I want to address right now,
00:30:52.220
and you tell me if I'm on cue here, but we want to talk a little bit about solutions.
00:30:58.080
And I think that what is happening in other nations and what is growing in Canada is that as
00:31:04.560
the backlash grows towards a government, what are they always worried about, right? They're worried
00:31:08.920
about the vote. They're worried about how they stand in the eyes of Canadians. Now, Trudeau hasn't
00:31:15.080
worried too much about that. Because he basically had a majority government, he's been spinning a web,
00:31:21.280
but he has had a minority government and has had to rely on Jagmeet Singh. And now we've also,
00:31:28.420
you know, had a turnaround of leadership on the Conservative Party, which we'll talk about a little bit
00:31:33.720
as well. I think people will be interested in doing that. But the major thing that we as Canadians
00:31:40.620
need to unite on is a good old fashioned long honour tradition of civil disobedience, of non-compliance.
00:31:49.200
Action for Canada has been on the front line here, providing people with tangible resources
00:31:53.700
to educate them that even if Trudeau had issued the Federal Emergency Act for COVID, which he never did,
00:32:00.660
he fraudulently did it with the Ottawa truckers, but not in response to COVID. He relied on the
00:32:06.920
provinces to do that. But even if he did, that Federal Emergency Act said that it cannot infringe
00:32:13.020
upon our charter rights and Bill of Rights. There should be a big period behind that. And no Canadian
00:32:18.720
should have closed down their business, should have been denied access to work, or worn a mask if they
00:32:24.580
didn't want to, or be forced to take this jab. So that's number one, civil disobedience.
00:32:29.420
Then I would say, you know, get involved with Action for Canada's chapters. Like I say,
00:32:35.140
we're going to be recruiting again and vetting and getting those into place because you need to build
00:32:39.500
community within your communities. You need to come along other citizens like we did for Luke a few
00:32:45.900
weeks ago, the 11-year-old boy who was being forced to take a blood transfusion with very potentially
00:32:52.440
tainted blood. We came to bat for that mother, we served notices of liability to the hospital,
00:32:57.620
and next thing you know, the hospital's lawyers were involved, and the CEO is coming and saying
00:33:02.740
to Sammy the mother, how can we make your stay better? That's not going to stop a lawsuit.
00:33:07.620
What they've done is assault towards that little boy. Had we found out when she was standing in
00:33:12.700
emergency, we could have maybe served and come together as a community even quicker.
00:33:17.280
But there is strength in numbers. And when you know your rights, we can stand together on that. So
00:33:23.400
build communities. Vote smart. Okay? Don't vote the party line. Quit panicking and voting for the
00:33:30.920
Conservative Party. All right? They're part of the problem. Think about who's in your community right
00:33:35.820
now. BC, Manitoba, Ontario, and PEI are all having municipal elections. That means these rotten city
00:33:43.420
councillors and mayors and trustees who have gotten into these positions over the last decades planning
00:33:49.880
this and to bring tyranny even into our schools and, like I say, our municipalities, because the WEF,
00:33:56.300
the UN, said our mayors and city councils are closest to the people in the sustainable development
00:34:02.760
goals. So let's use them to implement this. Think about who you're voting for. Get off your butts
00:34:08.080
and get out there and give a couple of hours of time of your week to a candidate that's running
00:34:12.680
and putting it all out there for you. And then again, Action for Canada has organized groups to
00:34:17.900
help parents, to help students, businesses, employees, and candidates. But also we're working
00:34:22.740
together with pastors across Canada because we want to see them remain open. And there's many pastors
00:34:29.260
that are willing to do that. So show up at their churches and support them because the government
00:34:33.420
wants to close them down. And then, Tom, when you were talking about the digital banks, use cash for
00:34:39.640
as long as we can, use cash. Buy silver. Take your business out of the main banks, BMO, TD, and all of
00:34:49.520
the ones that are supporting all of this. Never use the self-checkout. Support employees in getting paid.
00:34:58.240
You use the self-checkout, you're taking away a job. Let's make sure that we don't use these
00:35:02.800
self-checkouts. Yes, it can be convenient, but this is about the future of your country. And if you
00:35:08.440
can, get rid of your cell phone. Are you aware that there's many, many Canadians that don't have
00:35:14.260
internet and don't have cell phones? Anyway, so Tom, in response to that, when people are wanting
00:35:19.600
solutions, you know, I just got to belt this out a little bit because if we can unite and come together
00:35:25.560
and grow up the movement and the population to be working in sync, we can also overturn this tyranny.
00:35:34.800
Anyways, I'll leave it at that for a moment and let you respond as well.
00:35:39.460
Yeah, a couple of things to pick up. I'm just trying to think. I'm just looking around here. I don't have
00:35:43.500
my Faraday bag right here. Oh, yes, I do. Here we go. So first thing, you mentioned the idea of a
00:35:51.100
cell phone. One of the things you can actually do is get a dumb phone, a flip phone, the old style,
00:35:58.040
you know, Gibbs has got one there on TV, get a flip phone. They're dumb. They will make phone calls,
00:36:05.160
they'll do texting, and they'll take photos, but that's about all they'll do. So in terms of crossing
00:36:13.880
a border, traveling, whatever, you know, how come you don't have the can app? Well, my phone doesn't do it.
00:36:19.100
A perfectly legitimate answer. And a dumb phone provides you a lot more privacy. So what a lot
00:36:26.760
of folks are starting to do is they'll get a smartphone, especially folks who are in business
00:36:32.460
or whatever, you actually need a smartphone a lot of the times these days, but you'll have a
00:36:36.560
smartphone to do all your business stuff and everything else. But get a dumb phone, get a flip
00:36:41.060
phone. They're very cheap to buy. They're very cheap to maintain, or even get a burner phone that's
00:36:45.540
a dumb phone. And use that for talking to people outside of business, use that for travel purposes,
00:36:51.940
use that for going across borders. The other idea is to get a Faraday bag, get it on Amazon or buy it
00:36:58.420
at a lot of electronic stores. And when you put your phone inside the Faraday bag, no electronic messages
00:37:05.600
can get in or out of it. So if you're traveling, or if you're with people you don't trust, or you're
00:37:12.440
going to a foreign country, or you feel you're a little too close to some covered employees, and
00:37:17.600
you're worried about what they may or may not do to your phone, if your phone's in a Faraday bag,
00:37:20.720
they can't touch it. Electronically speaking, very good idea for travel, especially. Now,
00:37:27.200
politicians, let me just say this, politicians don't care about vaccines, they don't care about
00:37:32.560
mandates, they don't care about the war in Ukraine, they don't care about the price of wheat in
00:37:36.780
China, they don't care about slave labor in Mali. They'll tell you they care, but they don't.
00:37:44.420
Politicians care about two things, money and votes. And they only care about money in as much as they
00:37:51.760
can get money so they can get more votes. So if you are talking to a politician about anything,
00:37:58.780
doesn't matter what vaccine mandates, the war in Ukraine, whatever, work the word voting in there.
00:38:05.380
And express to them the idea that if you follow this policy line, I will vote for you. If you
00:38:12.400
follow that policy line, I won't. Now, one person, they don't care. But if they get 10 emails in a
00:38:18.360
week or 100 emails in a month, they will start to care. So when you talk about Action for Canada or
00:38:25.660
any other large group, it actually works on a politician when their EA or assistant comes to
00:38:32.660
them and says, hey, something weird happened last week, we got 150 emails on this vaccine mandate
00:38:38.660
thing or on this Uyghur thing in China or on the war in Ukraine. And wow, a lot of people out there
00:38:44.440
really upset about this thing. You know, you need to pay attention to it. And guess what, that actually
00:38:51.000
works. So if you can get 10, 20 or 100 people together and go to a politician and say, we're going to vote
00:38:57.680
against you on this, that they'll pay attention to. But even better, if you could say to them,
00:39:03.140
we will vote for you on a certain issue, or we will get you money and we will support you on a certain
00:39:09.160
issue that they'll actually pay attention to. So the democratic process works if you make it work.
00:39:17.340
So let's be clear about a little something here. Our country's in kind of a mess at the moment.
00:39:23.260
Uh, freedom of speech is going out the window. You've got drag queens in, you know, schools with
00:39:29.520
like kids in grade three. Uh, we've got the freedom convoy assault that went on there. You've got
00:39:35.460
Justin Trudeau talking about, or, or more correctly, Dr. Tam talking about, you now need a vaccine every
00:39:41.240
three months, uh, et cetera, et cetera. You're not allowed to travel. You can't do this. You can't do
00:39:45.860
that. And everybody blames Trudeau or they blame Dr. Tam or they blame, you know, the prime minister's
00:39:51.280
office or whatever. And that's fine. Trudeau is a bad guy. You should be able to say that Trudeau
00:39:56.080
is a bad guy. However, comma, pause for effect here. The reason we're in such a mess is the fault
00:40:03.880
of the citizens. That's us. We did this. And it's not kind of like we did it. It's what we didn't do.
00:40:10.960
We let government get away with stuff. We get them, let it get away with corruption. We let them get
00:40:16.640
away with cranking down on our freedoms. We let them get away with shutting parliament and making
00:40:21.360
it irrelevant. So yeah, Trudeau is a bad guy. Yeah. The world economic forum, you know, shouldn't be
00:40:27.100
allowed in the country, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But if you want to point fingers at the
00:40:31.700
folks that did it, that's us. We did this. So the democratic process only works if you make it work.
00:40:38.760
If you don't make it work, it will turn around and crush you like any other form of government.
00:40:45.180
So yeah, that's kind of my response to that is get involved. Get out there. Vote for your school
00:40:51.240
trustee. Find out who's doing it. Vote for the city councilor and send them something that says,
00:40:55.940
I think you're a moron because of X, Y, and Z. Or, hey, I think you're the world's greatest person
00:41:00.240
because you're doing this, that, and whatever. It actually matters. It actually works. So educate
00:41:06.320
yourself. Get out there. Get involved. If you don't want to get involved, fine. Send money. Send
00:41:12.360
resources to the people that are willing to get involved, who support the kind of things you
00:41:17.660
support. So yeah, blame Trudeau. Blame the government. Blame Ottawa. But at the end of
00:41:22.600
the day, the folks that let them get away with this crap is us. Excuse my French.
00:41:27.220
Yeah. No. And you know, a lot of people, they wanted a change from the Conservative Party many
00:41:32.300
years ago. And I'm not saying that Stephen Harper was a good guy by any means. But what I am willing
00:41:37.220
to say is that a lot of people like Justin Trudeau's hair, you know, when he was being elected
00:41:43.280
in back in 2015. And, you know, they just weren't thinking about the tangible essence of what it is
00:41:52.960
that he was platforming on and how that would affect the country. And it's like, we've really
00:41:57.700
got to care and we've really got to get involved. So you know what we'll do is, Trenzio, are there
00:42:03.960
questions in the in the queue? And we'll get to Q&A. But Tom, one question I had for you, I know you
00:42:08.500
want to say something there. You know, one thing I found of interest, like I said, I was making a lot
00:42:12.620
of notes as you were speaking. And, you know, isn't it interesting that they're going for this facial
00:42:18.500
recognition, but they've had everybody wearing the masks, even people that have been vaxxed and
00:42:24.020
double vaxxed. And it's like, you know, how long is that going to go for in the airports, I guess,
00:42:28.800
until they reach their goal? Yeah, it's always fun to watch the contradictions in government
00:42:34.420
as they don't think through one policy and they don't think through another. And the facial
00:42:39.960
recognition versus the mask thing is an interesting problem. However, and I'll just say this, as facial
00:42:44.900
recognition gets better, increasingly, you're going to see facial recognition that works on this part of
00:42:51.300
your face and whatever. The other thing that's being developed, and I know this for a different set
00:42:55.840
of reasons is gait recognition. In other words, the way you walk is almost as unique to you as your
00:43:04.680
fingerprint is to you and your face is to you. So that's also being developed. So even if they can't
00:43:10.940
see your face, if they can watch you walk, they'll be able to pick you out of a crowd, you know, 10 years
00:43:15.440
later. One other quick thought people say, well, why should I vote? It doesn't matter. Or I live in
00:43:20.780
Alberta, the vote doesn't matter, whatever. Well, here's some actual numbers. Here's why
00:43:25.820
you should actually learn about how our system works. Justin Trudeau is the Prime Minister of
00:43:31.520
Canada, probably legitimately, based on the fact that he got 21% of all registered voters in Canada
00:43:41.000
to vote for him in the last election. So I'll say that again, 21% of all registered voters voted
00:43:50.260
Liberal. Ergo, Justin Trudeau is now the legitimate minority Prime Minister of Canada. Now, people say,
00:44:01.540
well, I got 34% of the popular vote. It's like, no, he got 34% of people who actually voted. So once
00:44:09.160
again, 21% of all registered voters voted for him. 79% of registered voters didn't vote for him, or more
00:44:18.960
importantly, didn't vote at all. So I believe that's an entirely possible situation where Trudeau
00:44:26.240
would call an election this fall, and actually get a majority government based on him requiring 24%,
00:44:32.620
25% of voters to put himself past the position where he needs to be to get a majority government.
00:44:39.960
He could do that by cracking down more vaccines, more mandates, more control, and then declare an
00:44:46.160
economic emergency, more, you know, more control, and then be the savior by canceling student loans,
00:44:52.140
universal basic income, free money for everybody, which he just came out with today. So all he needs
00:44:57.960
is 25% of all registered voters to get himself into a majority Prime Minister position. And it's legal.
00:45:06.440
It's not just it's not moral, but it's legal. So the answer to that is, if you didn't vote last time,
00:45:13.360
you're part of the problem. If you don't want to vote for the Conservatives or people, you know,
00:45:19.160
People's Party of Canada, whatever, fine, pick something, pick someone, get out there and vote
00:45:23.520
for anybody but this guy. And that will actually work. So people complain about well, voting doesn't
00:45:30.660
work. It's like, well, here in Ontario, we had less than 50% turnout, and we got the same government
00:45:36.260
over again. In Canada, we think the last federal election was around 60% of people actually voted.
00:45:43.440
So the other 40% don't have a voice, they didn't speak. So that's your fault. Get out there, do
00:45:50.920
something. Yeah, thank you, Tom. And one of the most effective ways to do that are at the community
00:45:56.520
level at the municipal level as well, you can have a huge impact. Think about all the mayors and city
00:46:02.700
councils if they had not gone along with the provincial government's dictates, because they
00:46:08.900
are in violation of the rights of the citizens. I was listening to a fellow last week, his name is
00:46:15.020
David Barton, and he was at a conference and he ended up, I ended up taking out his clip. And I'm
00:46:20.380
going to be doing an action within a few weeks, we're going to have pastors on. And we're really
00:46:24.880
going to talk about the impact of a vote. And he broke it down, mind you, it was in the United States
00:46:30.120
that just 37 votes could vote in a whole school board trustee, you know, and or overturn a mayor
00:46:37.560
and city council. People have no idea how important the municipal vote is, and how important their
00:46:44.280
vote is at all levels of government, I shouldn't just say at the municipal level. So that is one of
00:46:50.760
the number ones for sure. And okay, so Terenzio, can we get to I know there's a lineup, I think of
00:46:56.100
questions, I certainly see them in the q&a down at the bottom. And let's, let's get some people's
00:47:01.140
questions answered here. All right, so I'm going to ask a question while we're waiting for that,
00:47:05.380
Terenzio, and then we'll try again. Ron, okay, Ron has asked, I want to say to everybody that's live
00:47:11.560
on Facebook as well, if you want to participate in the q&a, there's a link to join the show. So just
00:47:19.520
click on that link and join us. And then you can ask your question also. Okay, Tom, we're gonna I'm
00:47:24.420
gonna ask you a few questions here. And we'll see how many we can get through. How will they track
00:47:28.300
people who don't have a cell phone? Ah, good point. If you don't have a cell phone, and you pay cash,
00:47:36.520
you become very obscure to the government. If you do have a cell phone, and you do pay with a debit
00:47:45.220
card or a visa card or whatever, then you become incredibly transparent to the government. So yeah.
00:47:51.420
Yeah. And the other thing, as I mentioned, even if you want to have a cell phone,
00:47:57.160
because of the convenience of mobile phone calls, which of course are brilliant, it's a brilliant
00:48:02.280
capability. Instead of having a smartphone, get a dumb phone, get a flip phone. And it's a whole lot
00:48:08.860
harder to track. So no phone at all, very hard to track paying with cash very hard to track not using
00:48:15.760
debit cards, Visa cards, and all that kind of stuff makes you much more difficult to track.
00:48:21.040
And by the way, just so you'll know, if you pay cash, especially if you shop with a local merchant,
00:48:26.580
the credit card company doesn't get to skim their three or 4% off the top of that. And that money goes
00:48:33.080
to the merchant rather than going to the banking system. So that also puts more money in your
00:48:39.020
community and less money in Visa, MasterCard, TD, RBC, whatever.
00:48:45.180
Very good point. I love that. Absolutely. Okay. Pat is asking, should we take our money out of the
00:48:52.460
banks now? And if so, would we be able to purchase with it in the future or not? Your thoughts and
00:48:59.680
If they go to a central bank digital currency system, what they will do is they'll have a fade in and a
00:49:06.220
fade out system. They'll fade in the central bank digital currency and then they will fade out cash.
00:49:11.460
And at a certain point, they'll say cash is no longer acceptable. You either bring it into your
00:49:16.660
bank and deposit it electronically or it becomes worthless. So saving your money outside of the
00:49:23.500
bank won't help you eventually. That's a problem. If you do choose to store wealth outside of the
00:49:30.380
system, and this is not financial advice, this is just a personal opinion, you may want to look at
00:49:37.500
other means of storing wealth. And by that, I mean silver, gold, that kind of thing. Arable land is
00:49:46.560
always a good thing to have, et cetera, et cetera. So yeah, we're not a financial advice situation here,
00:49:53.220
and I'm not giving financial advice. I'm just making the obvious statement that if you think your wealth
00:49:59.700
is subject to seizure by the government, or if you think in the future, a desperate government,
00:50:05.660
which is running out of money and decides to just radically increase taxes and do it by just taking
00:50:11.080
your money out of a bank, which they can do, it's called a bailing in a worst case scenario.
00:50:15.780
Then having wealth stored outside of the system in a non-digital kind of way is always a good idea.
00:50:25.600
And unfortunately, it's becoming an increasingly good idea as time goes by.
00:50:30.180
Right. And you just mentioned the bank bail-ins, and don't think for a second the government
00:50:34.440
won't do it. It was what we saw that happen in Greece, right? And in March of 2016, if I'm
00:50:41.460
remembering correctly, the liberal government signed a bank bail-in agreement. They had the bank bail-in
00:50:47.820
terminology very deeply buried in the financial document that they had put out there. I questioned
00:50:55.460
my liberal MP, Ken Hardy, on it, and he denied it. He was like, oh, no, no, no, that's just for
00:51:00.420
bigger businesses, et cetera. But the problem is, if you look at the insurance on your funds,
00:51:06.400
what is it, the CD, what's the name of the insurance that banks have?
00:51:11.940
Right. And so there's only so much money in that piggy bank. If the government goes in a bank
00:51:19.100
bail-in, you're not going to see those funds, if ever again, or at least for a very long time. So
00:51:26.700
Here's a fun fact. The guy that actually legalized bail-ins in Canada was Harper. That
00:51:32.780
happened under Harper. That happened while I was working at the Central Bank of Canada, where I
00:51:37.300
learned it. The liberals, as you correctly point out, sort of slid this thing under the radar and
00:51:43.460
increased it and made it obvious that it's going to keep going and they're going to do it. So this
00:51:48.080
is a thing. Now, just so folks know, a bail-out is when a company goes broke or a bank goes broke
00:51:53.720
and the government just hands them a whole bunch of money in order to get them through so they can
00:51:58.620
hopefully start working again. A bail-in is a real nasty trick where a lot of people think when you
00:52:04.400
deposit $1,000 in the bank, that's your $1,000 and they're just keeping it for you safe. And when
00:52:10.340
you decide you want to take it back, you just quit and take it back. Well, if you read the fine print,
00:52:15.740
it's not actually your money anymore. It's theirs. They have it. They have control of it. And in the
00:52:20.840
event of a bank going broke in a bank run, which for instance, the one Trudeau almost started by
00:52:27.600
freezing everybody's bank accounts, if the bank gets in significant financial trouble, loses liquidity and
00:52:33.280
cannot function the next day, they have the right to a bail-in, in which case they take your money,
00:52:38.720
declare it to be theirs openly, and they'll give you this sort of certificate or note that says,
00:52:44.760
oh yeah, we owe you $1,000. Good luck getting that back later. So in an actual serious financial
00:52:52.540
collapse, the banks have the right to just take all of your money and hand you an IOU that says,
00:52:58.860
yeah, we'll give it to you sometime. All right. Yeah. Who wants an IOU from the bank? And that
00:53:06.200
includes your safety deposit boxes as well, my friends. So if you have things that are of value
00:53:12.180
in there, my understanding is, is that they can dive into those as well. A lot of people are talking
00:53:17.640
about going to like a Prospera bank, et cetera. I know that they're also, if you try to open up a bank
00:53:24.140
account and a new bank account now, they're doing risk assessments on you, right? After, after the
00:53:29.060
whole trucker situation. And, and so, you know what, I still say, get your money out of the big banks.
00:53:36.420
Why not help us, help, you know, collapse those systems that are intentionally hurting Canadians.
00:53:42.580
This is ways to disrupt the system. And so we've got to work together on this. All right.
00:53:48.340
Terenzio, you wanted to give it another try to ask. Okay, go ahead. Yeah. So our next person we have
00:53:54.360
is Roxy. Hi, Roxy. I hope this is going to work. Can you unmute? There we go. Yay. All right.
00:54:01.520
Persistence is a good thing. Hi, what's your question?
00:54:05.860
I heard about the gold or the silver, but what can we do with gold or silver in a practical way? I mean,
00:54:11.840
you know, can't take it to the supermarket. And if we go and trade it into the bank, we're back at
00:54:18.040
square one. So how can we use gold or silver in a practical way? Yeah. Gold or silver or other
00:54:25.640
precious metals should be seen as a form of insurance. I know there's people say you should
00:54:31.320
invest in gold. You can make all this money, whatever that may be true. I don't do it. And
00:54:36.340
you'd have to be super smart to do that. But having gold put aside is a way of ensuring
00:54:43.380
value stays. So price of gold goes up, price of gold goes down. But over history, the price of gold
00:54:50.660
against the price of goods required to live has maintained itself relatively well. So right now,
00:54:58.680
we're in a period of inflation, for instance, inflation running in Canada, it's seven, eight percent,
00:55:04.140
whatever it is, nine percent in the UK. It may go as high as 18 or 20 percent in the UK. And we've had
00:55:09.420
that in Canada, by the way, in the past. If you have money sitting there in cash, it's literally
00:55:14.520
rotting away. Well, metaphorically rotting away, sorry, in that it's losing value as it sits there due to
00:55:22.960
inflation, whereas gold, that doesn't happen. Now, if we ever get to an absolute financial crisis, gold
00:55:29.920
actually works. Anybody who's been in a war zone, everybody who's been through a conflict, if you're
00:55:34.060
ever been to a place like Bosnia, if you're ever in World War II, you're ever in Afghanistan, Iraq,
00:55:38.320
whatever, gold actually works as a currency or as a form of money, more correctly. Gold works as a form
00:55:44.940
of money. And yeah, if times ever get really tough, if we ever have, let's say, a digital failure like
00:55:51.760
the one we had with Rogers a few weeks ago, where a whole bunch of people suddenly discovered their
00:55:57.120
bank cards don't work and their ATMs don't work, and the bank says, yeah, sorry, can't help you.
00:56:02.520
If we ever got a wide scale financial failure, gold, especially in small amounts will still work.
00:56:09.080
So if I'm a store owner or a baker, and I, you know, the money system is failing, and somebody
00:56:15.600
walks in with a 10th of an ounce of gold and says, can I have some bread? The answer is going to be
00:56:19.800
yeah. So people say, well, you know, you can't use gold in a crisis. The answer is, well, crisis,
00:56:25.140
severe crisis have shown that alternative forms of money actually work. And by money,
00:56:32.340
I mean, gold, silver, not currency like the Swiss franc or the Canadian dollar. So gold is a good
00:56:37.980
insurance against the future. It's a good insurance against fiat currencies. It's a good insurance
00:56:42.820
against inflation. It probably isn't all that useful in a normal kind of crisis like an ice storm or
00:56:49.980
something like that. But if you ever get into an actual significant major crisis, like a cyber
00:56:54.900
attack against our banks, gold, especially if you can buy gold in small amounts like 10 grams or stuff
00:57:02.020
like that, and silver, by the way, will actually be useful. Again, ask folks in Bosnia, ask folks in
00:57:08.740
Russia, ask folks in India, ask folks in Venezuela right now, ask folks in Turkey right now, that gold is
00:57:17.080
becoming a part of their lives again. Yeah, thank you for that, Tom. Right. Yes, absolutely. Several
00:57:24.040
months ago for a couple of times, we've we've done a show on the Empower Hour, helping individuals to
00:57:29.740
sort out some of these questions. So Sheila, I don't know if you can throw a couple of those in the chat
00:57:35.200
that may be helpful. But even in it, you know, it's funny, if we go back to biblical times that it
00:57:40.500
actually recommends buying silver and gold. And throughout history, through the training that we've done
00:57:46.100
through Empower Hour, I kind of like it, you know, what a suit, you know, in Roman times would have
00:57:51.980
been of the same value as it was in the 1950s, as it is in 2022. It's the same with a chariot to a car
00:57:59.940
to a vehicle in 2022, gold holds its value. And when times get tough, you need to find a loaf of bread.
00:58:07.700
And as Tom says, this would be in small, small values, right? You don't want to bring in a bar of gold,
00:58:15.220
because not too many people will be able to do much with that. And then of course,
00:58:19.720
you got to think about security. You don't store these things in your home, you figure out a way
00:58:23.780
to do that. There are areas and places that do help you with storage. Okay, Transio, next question,
00:58:31.740
please. Yes, next question we have is from Rita.
00:58:35.480
Hi, Rita. Can you unmute? Oh, there we go. Yep.
00:58:42.160
Hi, I have a couple of questions. With regards to the digital.
00:58:49.080
Okay, if you could stick maybe to the one main question, because we have a lot of questions.
00:58:55.140
Well, how would the digital system affect pensions and old age securities and all of this stuff,
00:59:01.980
you know, whether it's CPP, OAS, and or private company pensions, or if I should, I should say,
00:59:08.340
public service pensions? Good question. Actually, no, fair question. In short, it affects them the
00:59:16.340
same way it affects everything else. Because it will go to a fully digital system, which is the
00:59:22.500
direction we're headed now. And especially if we get a central bank digital currency, then anything you
00:59:30.000
have whether it's a pension, a paycheck from your boss, a pension from the government, CPP, OAP,
00:59:37.860
whatever. If the government chooses to go after you, because they don't like you, because you donated
00:59:43.880
to the convoy, or you own a gun, or you read the wrong book, or you upset Trudeau somehow, or whoever.
00:59:51.980
Those are the same thing. They can be shut off electronically. Which is, I mean, it happens right
00:59:57.860
now. Most people, I think, are getting Canada pension and old age pension and that stuff.
01:00:01.440
They're getting it already digitally from the government that way. So those things are equally
01:00:07.160
vulnerable. But if you get all of this integrated together, then it becomes an even more fearsome
01:00:15.820
weapon. So for instance, in order to shut down the convoy bank accounts and stuff, the government
01:00:20.700
actually had to declare a state of emergency. But I don't know if you noticed, Ontario also declared
01:00:25.520
a state of emergency, and they decided to keep it going for the most part by simply changing the
01:00:31.220
law. So we're moving in that direction. So yeah, if the government goes full on to a digital identity,
01:00:37.740
where your passport is digital, your birth certificates digital, your driver's license is
01:00:42.820
digital, your old age pension is digital, and your and your government of Canada pension is digital.
01:00:48.000
If they choose to dislike you, or they get upset with you, whatever, they can literally turn you off
01:00:53.480
altogether. No passport, no driver's license, no old age pension, and you're actually standing there
01:00:58.160
in a street corner, trying to explain to people who you are. And it'll be like, yeah, you got any
01:01:03.060
identification? It's like, well, yeah, they turned it all off. That's the direction they want to go.
01:01:09.120
That's where they're headed in China right now. That's where the World Economic Forum wants to take
01:01:14.320
Yeah, it can be if we stop to think about it too much, it could be a very frightening
01:01:19.480
ordeal. And I know many people are upset by by this, we were already there, you know, so many
01:01:26.220
people have been driven by fear in the last two and a half years. And this threat certainly doesn't
01:01:31.040
help that. But if they know that they do have the power to bring about the kind of change by not
01:01:36.900
complying, I'm hoping and praying that that we can actually avoid all of this.
01:01:41.440
Okay, can I quickly piggy bank on this with regards to privacy? We had a very, I've worked in the
01:01:50.440
brokerage firm and banking industry, we had a very strict Privacy Act, and was really elevated by the
01:01:57.500
Liberal government. How does that all fit into all of this? Like they're doing completely opposite of what
01:02:06.780
Yeah, in essence, an increase in digitalization, digitalization of any form equals a significant
01:02:18.000
drop in privacy. So for instance, just today, I mean, I just had another run in with this,
01:02:23.660
I went into a place I've never been in before to get my hair cut, which they did quite well,
01:02:28.240
everything's good, as much as it can be for me. And when I walk over to the cash, I see the sign,
01:02:35.140
no cash, must pay bank card, credit card, whatever. And I went, okay, my fault, I should
01:02:41.800
have noticed on the way in. And then they said, what's your name and phone number? And I said,
01:02:45.700
why do I give you my name and phone number? Well, the computer requires it, sir. And I said,
01:02:50.420
well, I'm not giving it to you. So work around it. Anyway, I wound up paying with a debit card,
01:02:54.980
which kind of didn't please me. And guess what? I'm never going back there again.
01:02:59.000
But the simple reality is every time you pay with a debit card, every time you pay with a credit card,
01:03:04.800
every time you sign up for a new app, every time you agree to the terms and conditions on your phone,
01:03:12.280
your privacy is going out the window. So just for fun, let me say this to people. And a lot of people
01:03:17.780
don't believe it. But I'll tell you, look it up yourself. I don't care if you believe me or not.
01:03:21.120
If you have one of these things, if you have a cell phone like this, and you have Instagram,
01:03:26.420
or TikTok, or Facebook, or any of those programs where the camera and the microphone get used,
01:03:34.680
if you read through the privacy statement of those things, the companies refer to it as their camera.
01:03:43.760
So if you have Facebook, for instance, which you can put up videos, you can take pictures and all that
01:03:48.940
stuff. When you read the privacy statement, Facebook actually refers to it as their camera.
01:03:55.380
So you might think you own that phone and you might think that the camera, that little three
01:03:59.920
thing on the back there, belongs to you. But when you agree to that agreement, you know,
01:04:06.280
do you agree to the terms, conditions, you put yes, that's one of the things you're agreeing to,
01:04:09.880
that they can turn your camera on and your microphone on at any time they want.
01:04:16.160
And they say, well, you know, it's just about improving camera quality and getting the lighting
01:04:19.740
to work better and all that kind of stuff. Simple reality is the government and the big tech
01:04:26.000
companies have got together to literally destroy the concept of privacy. I don't know how any
01:04:32.300
reasonable government could approve of big tech companies putting out these terms and conditions,
01:04:38.500
whereby Facebook and a whole bunch of other tech type companies have the right to turn your camera on
01:04:45.280
and off or turn your microphone on and off at any time they want to. So my basic argument to people,
01:04:53.700
I say, look, privacy is gone. You should assume that anything you say or do on your phone,
01:05:01.880
your laptop, your iPad, your is being copied and heard by everybody around you. Now, I'll also get
01:05:08.940
quite amusingly and naively, people will say, well, yes, I have a Facebook account, but I put my privacy
01:05:13.860
settings on. And the answer is, yeah, it doesn't really matter. What you're providing yourself
01:05:22.280
there is almost no protection and your hands are totally in the hands of big tech. That's just where
01:05:29.600
we're at in privacy. Privacy is essentially dead. And until we push back on government and push back on
01:05:34.980
the tech companies, it's going to continue to be a problem. So another little thing, every store says,
01:05:40.280
oh, we want your email, we want this, we want that. Well, what they're actually going to do,
01:05:44.400
of course, is resell your information. So the business model for Uber, for instance, is they're
01:05:49.340
never going to get make money driving people around in taxis below cost. What they're doing is they're
01:05:54.580
collecting all your personal information, where you go, when you go, who you travel with, whose house
01:05:59.440
you go to. Did you go to the concert last week? Did you shop at Walmart? Did you go to whatever?
01:06:04.540
They compile all that data and resell it. And then you are targeted later for target specific
01:06:11.880
advertising, or that information is also sold to the government to explain what your behavior is.
01:06:17.320
What kind of books do you buy? Where do you go? What kind of food do you eat? Did you eat too many
01:06:21.220
carbon based foods last week, in which case, we're going to start cutting off your groceries,
01:06:25.960
you're not going to be allowed to buy any more meat next week, because you bought too much meat last
01:06:30.220
week. So yeah, that's kind of a problem. Your privacy is gone. And that is going, it can and
01:06:35.640
will be used against you, as they often say. Right. And Canadians have just simply been lured
01:06:40.940
into this because of the convenience of it all. It all seems so easy, right? And so you just keep
01:06:47.400
signing up, you keep adding apps to your phone, but it really is to your own demise. Now, you know,
01:06:53.060
you talk about the technology firms and the government, but we should include the RCMP in there,
01:06:59.220
because there was the recent report, uh, where the former privacy commissioner had said for himself,
01:07:05.500
talking about privacy and cell phones, that they're actually tapping into those without,
01:07:10.140
uh, citizens awareness. The RCMP had admitted it and the privacy commissioner said that he had no
01:07:16.600
idea that this was going on. And, uh, so that's one reason why the Faraday bags really do make sense.
01:07:22.440
I ordered one yesterday actually. And the other, um, you know, point of this is, is, uh, purchasing
01:07:29.140
these dumb phones. I know a lot of people in the chat had been asking, where do you get these?
01:07:34.180
Because I thought they were going to actually cease making flip phones because they want to force
01:07:39.420
people into this digital system. Yeah. It's interesting. I think there's a number of companies,
01:07:45.520
uh, who are reevaluating the cell phone market and they're trying to other, you know, I mean,
01:07:51.180
they're always trying to improve their market. They're trying to make a better phone. It's got
01:07:54.400
three cameras. It's got four cameras. It's got, you know, blah, blah, blah. Uh, but what they're
01:07:58.780
discovering is the flip phones, which were due to be phased out are now becoming popular again,
01:08:04.660
partly for cost. Cause we're moving into a recession, partly for costs because of poor countries,
01:08:10.120
you know, you, uh, you know, the idea of a mobile phone is such an attractive thing,
01:08:13.460
but if you can't afford it, you can't afford it. Um, and also partly because large numbers of people
01:08:19.340
who do travel, who are increasingly suspicious of government are recognizing the idea that if
01:08:25.520
you're going to travel across borders, or if you're going to travel out of your home area or whatever,
01:08:30.300
you're better off to have a dumb phone with you. So, uh, you can buy flip phones in a lot of grocery
01:08:36.580
stores and stuff like that, where you can buy burner phones, Walmart places like that. Uh, I haven't
01:08:41.420
looked on Amazon lately. I did a while ago and they were still selling flip phones. Uh, they're much
01:08:46.500
cheaper than a, uh, a smartphone and you can get to pay as you go plans for them and that sort of
01:08:52.860
thing. So get a burner phone, uh, which you can do it like most tech stores in most malls, uh, or buy
01:09:00.000
your own flip phone and then just get a pay as you go program for it. Okay. Thanks for that, Tom.
01:09:05.180
Um, do you have time for a few more questions? Uh, sure. Okay. Marianne has asked, how much is
01:09:12.260
Huawei involved in tracking Canadians? Cherie was involved with giving Huawei access to Canada's
01:09:19.860
internet. I haven't actually heard much about that, uh, lately about Huawei. What do you have to say?
01:09:26.460
Yeah. I mean, Huawei is, um, I mean, as bad as American tech companies are in here, I'm thinking of
01:09:33.240
Twitter and Facebook and Instagram and whatever. Huawei, of course, are they're the hardware behind
01:09:39.760
a lot of this stuff. They are by far and away worse than even the most horrible U S based SoCal tech
01:09:47.660
company. Um, Huawei, to be clear, they described themselves as a private corporation, which is true
01:09:53.600
in the Chinese sense of the word. But what that really means is they answer to the government on
01:09:58.340
every possible issue. The guy who's head of Huawei is a former PLA officer. Uh, so the connection
01:10:05.080
between the government and Huawei is that close. Um, now the thing was, uh, so Huawei has been banned
01:10:12.420
by some countries from putting servers into the new 5g system because a bunch of countries have finally
01:10:18.480
realized that Huawei uses their technology to spy on everyone all the time. They put backdoors in all
01:10:24.880
their servers, backdoors in their phone. They are just a horrible, horrible communist company. Now
01:10:30.960
the thing was shot a, and this is where it went. I think one of the things that took shot a out of
01:10:35.240
the competition was it became obvious. It became clear. It was true that shot a was doing work for
01:10:42.560
Huawei. So the question is, well, what kind of work are you doing? I don't think you're a software
01:10:47.280
writer. I don't think you're a server installer. You're a politician. So it would seem to me,
01:10:53.660
he was doing lobbying work. He was advancing the interests of the company in Canada through a
01:10:59.300
business or political kind of way. China's problem was he wouldn't answer the question,
01:11:04.740
how much money he got paid. And he said, well, there's nothing wrong with working for a foreign
01:11:08.380
corporation. People can do that. And it's like, yeah, you know, fair enough. Uh, lots of people
01:11:12.180
work for, you know, foreign based companies here in Canada. Um, but not every one of them is run by
01:11:17.800
the Chinese communist government. And not every one of them is being banned all over the world
01:11:22.540
because of their horrific spying activity. So when Sharae wouldn't answer the question,
01:11:27.980
how much money he was making, that to me was the big flashing red light, uh, that this guy really
01:11:35.140
shouldn't be near anything. Liberal party, conservative party, NDP party, green party,
01:11:40.900
uh, blah, blah, blah, lobster party. This guy should not be in anybody's political party in any kind of
01:11:46.980
responsible position until he says what he was doing for Huawei. And my guess is he wouldn't say
01:11:51.980
it because it wasn't good. Yeah, that's a big no, no. I know that when we were, um, faced with the
01:11:58.280
legalization of recreational marijuana in Canada, and my objective objection was put to putting it in
01:12:03.500
12 year olds hands. I don't care what adults do, but there were many, once we started doing the
01:12:09.000
research, many sitting elected officials who use their time to advance this then ended up not running
01:12:17.820
again. And so then ended up part of the marijuana drug trafficking, shall I say, which enriched
01:12:26.000
themselves. So yeah, it's, you know, we got these rules in place for a reason and it's amazing how many
01:12:32.820
of them get away with it, which I hope to change in the future by tightening up, uh, you know, the laws
01:12:38.700
and the responsibilities of elected officials. Bit of a long story, but I'm working on a financial
01:12:44.640
project with a couple other people right now on the whole marijuana legalization process. And people
01:12:50.860
said, oh, Trudeau's going to legalize marijuana because he's cool. He's a hippie. Look at, he's got
01:12:55.340
long hair. Let's all smoke dope. And why not? My impression very much based on my initial research
01:13:01.100
is that Trudeau's intent on legalizing marijuana was to take a criminal industry,
01:13:08.700
make it a legal industry. And then it's not exactly insider trading, but it's pretty much
01:13:14.740
insider trading. What he was doing was telling a number of contacts, a number of people associated
01:13:20.100
to the Trudeau foundation. This is what the law will say. This is when it's going to happen.
01:13:24.440
This is how it's going to happen. If you want to invest in marijuana, now is the time to do it.
01:13:29.600
So what happened is a whole bunch of people poured a whole bunch of money in at the front end of this
01:13:33.800
system. And they made a killing because the initial rush to move to a legalized marijuana
01:13:39.940
industry had a few bazillion dollars pour into it. Now, of course, a whole bunch of the companies
01:13:44.500
are going broke. And now a whole bunch of the private stores are going broke. But my impression
01:13:48.480
is a bunch of people around Trudeau profited off that very handsomely and probably legally,
01:13:54.220
although not necessarily morally. And then they sold out when they made a ton of money.
01:13:58.800
And now the industry will continue to stumble along like it is. And I don't know where it's
01:14:04.680
going. But yeah, I think the legalization of marijuana was much more a financial move than
01:14:10.200
it was a legal, social or moral move on the part of the government.
01:14:14.300
Right. Yeah, I'd agree. And I think part of it was very much political and working towards
01:14:19.140
this as well, as they wanted to get more and more Canadians, especially young people, reliant
01:14:25.020
on the government. And, you know, they do like to get our kids, you know, hooked on the marijuana
01:14:30.340
because then, you know, they're not necessarily all achieving what they could had they not succumbed
01:14:36.080
to it. But the plans back in the first liberal meeting that they had of their of their cabinet
01:14:44.180
back in April of 2016 was what was on the slate was to legalize all drugs, which were once again
01:14:51.960
hearing about this year and and that they're going to do that. And if you look at good socialist
01:14:56.660
countries, they follow by legalizing prostitution, they they legalize all drugs, and they really make
01:15:03.580
a complete mess of society. Yeah, just a quick little thought there as as Trudeau moves towards
01:15:10.540
politely put restructuring our economy. Other people would say looting the treasure or hollowing
01:15:17.560
out the government. A lot of people go, Trudeau is Hitler. And I think, well, no, he's not. He's
01:15:24.400
not Hitler. Trudeau is Stalin. And it's like, well, no, Trudeau isn't Stalin. I mean, I don't like the
01:15:28.780
guy either, but he's not Stalin. But if you want to look at a model for how Trudeau is moving the
01:15:35.780
government towards total centralization, as Trudeau is moving our government to more socialist or fascist
01:15:42.260
system, depending on how you define those terms, the model to look at is Venezuela. When Chavez took
01:15:48.140
over Venezuela in 1998, the country was reasonably prosperous, had an oil industry, had a tourism
01:15:53.920
industry, had a food industry, had a massive booming construction sector. And it had an education
01:16:01.220
system that was dragging a whole lot of people off the streets, putting them into school because they
01:16:06.020
needed people to run the oil refineries. They needed people to build hotels. They needed people to run
01:16:11.460
the airplanes. So Venezuela was in pretty good shape in 98. Chavez, between 98 and about 2005,
01:16:21.200
sorry, 2005, was able to hollow out the economy, take complete control of the press, take complete
01:16:28.420
control of the judiciary, and hollowed out the military to a point where it was a party military
01:16:33.860
rather than a state military. And that took him about seven or eight years, basically. And then after that,
01:16:40.700
Venezuela, I mean, slid into a point where they had hyperinflation, where people were eating their
01:16:48.500
dogs, where about four to five million people left the country because of the over-centralization
01:16:54.300
and the over-socialization of the government. And they destroyed a perfectly functional government.
01:17:02.280
They destroyed a perfectly functional society. And again, if you're looking for a model on where Canada's
01:17:09.760
going, what it's going to look like if Mr. Sciutto gets another four to five-year term on top of where
01:17:15.180
he is right now, or he's able to run this term out to 2025, the model to compare us to is Venezuela.
01:17:23.000
Yeah, absolutely. I remember having conversations about this with Liberal MP Ken Hardy. And he would
01:17:30.240
say, look at Venezuela like, you know, this was many years ago, as if this was the model from which we
01:17:35.940
should be looking to. And when you take a look at that society and you dig in, you see how the
01:17:41.480
citizens are suffering. And, you know, the moral and ethical decay and the tyrannical government,
01:17:47.780
it's just no country to compare to. But it shows me how far back that, you know, the Liberal government
01:17:55.160
had indeed had this plan to demolish our democracy. And it is just sickening, you know,
01:18:01.620
that more Canadians could not see it six years ago before, you know, re-electing him and then
01:18:09.260
continuing on doing this. But it's just another, yeah, one more interesting little thought just to
01:18:15.140
throw this into the theme. This is not a Hitler analogy. Trudeau's not Hitler, let's be clear.
01:18:19.920
However, one thing that's worth looking at is the Weimar Republic in Germany that existed before
01:18:25.980
Hitler came to power, a completely debauched government. It lost any sense of morals,
01:18:31.740
prostitution, child prostitution, everything was going on wide open. It was like party central for
01:18:37.780
Europe at the time. And when you see a government becoming completely debauched, when it loses its
01:18:43.860
moral compass altogether, and it says, you know, it's not just that some things are okay. It's like,
01:18:49.320
yeah, everything's okay. We now see people, you know, some teacher just got fired in the United States
01:18:53.700
for saying, well, you know, you shouldn't call them pedophiles. They're minor attracted people,
01:18:58.760
and they're really okay. And they should be left alone with five-year-olds because, you know,
01:19:02.360
blah, blah, blah, whatever. And the lesson from that maybe is when you have a government that's
01:19:07.460
completely debauched, it loses control of its economy and goes into a period of hyperinflation.
01:19:13.340
What came after the Weimar Republic? Hitler. You know, it's just, that's, it's a common theme
01:19:22.520
through history when governments lose their moral compass, and whatever provided that moral compass,
01:19:27.240
whether it was Christianity, Judaism, a belief in Greek gods, a belief in Roman gods, whatever,
01:19:32.960
as long as your government has a moral compass, and at least tries to kind of sometimes put society
01:19:38.960
on some sort of moral basis with some sort of compass, things will kind of work out mostly sort
01:19:44.520
of. But if your government loses its moral compass in its entirety, you drop into debauchery,
01:19:50.440
and that basically represents the end of your civilization.
01:19:54.760
But don't you think that's where we are, Tom? Because they are looking to normalize pedophilia.
01:20:00.880
Right. No, I think we're there, though. I mean, when we see what's going on with the schools
01:20:04.640
en masse, they're bringing, you know, grooming our kids. And then we've got this injection that they
01:20:11.840
100% know are creating great harm and killing people. So I don't know how we could not compare
01:20:20.640
Trudeau to Hitler at the same time, because there was Dr. Mengele, we got Dr. Tam, we got Dr. Pony,
01:20:26.800
right? They're literally doing experiments in citizens.
01:20:29.640
Yeah. Just to be clear, all of that happened before Hitler. The reason Hitler was able to take power
01:20:35.200
was because the society had collapsed in on itself. It became decadent. It became debauched. It became
01:20:41.020
poor. It lost any direction. And what's possible in those times is that's when you get a proverbial
01:20:46.580
strongman comes along. So the path that Trudeau has put us on right now and the path Mr. Biden is
01:20:52.540
putting us on and others, it's the same problem in Europe, is, yeah, we've lost touch with the economy.
01:20:57.680
We can just print our way to, you know, wealth. We've lost touch with reality. Send all the
01:21:02.940
factories to China. That's fine. We've lost touch with any sense of moral compass.
01:21:10.140
You know, we, here in North America and Europe, we talk about Judeo-Christian values. Other
01:21:14.760
countries had other things that gave them moral compasses. But when you lose touch with the
01:21:19.220
economy, when you lose touch with social reality, when you lose your moral compass, your society
01:21:25.360
goes into decay. And yeah, that's where we're at right now. Our Western society, such as it is,
01:21:30.320
is teaching itself to hate itself. It's teaching itself to destroy its own children and to destroy
01:21:36.340
its own economy. And people like Trudeau actually think this is a great idea in the sense that they
01:21:43.280
want more central power, more central control. The more people lose money, the more the middle
01:21:48.040
class gets crushed, the more they're able to advocate more welfare, more handouts, more universal
01:21:53.360
basic income and that kind of stuff. And the lesson of history over the last 5,000 years is
01:21:58.380
this always turns out bad. So right now we're on a path where if we don't smarten up and get going,
01:22:05.660
where we're going to go in the next 3, 5, 10 years is not clear. But all the indicators say
01:22:11.360
we're moving into a period of moral decay, financial decay, social decay, and your standard of living,
01:22:18.060
et cetera, is going to go substantially downhill, not uphill.
01:22:21.140
Right. If we don't step in and do something about this, absolutely. I agree with you. I think we're
01:22:27.520
there. And I think that Canadians don't understand. They had an excuse at first. They didn't see the
01:22:34.820
war that we're in because it was mostly an invisible war, unless you were more finely in tuned with
01:22:41.180
decisions that the government has been making, like you and I have been in the last, for myself,
01:22:45.860
seven years. But now they have no excuses. It is no longer an invisible war. This war is right out
01:22:52.940
there in front of us. It's a war against the family. It's a war against our children. It's
01:22:57.220
against our elderly. It's against businesses. It's against anything that we held dear in this
01:23:01.460
country. And we really need to come together and fight. So Tom, I just want to ask you one more
01:23:08.940
question. I know somebody else had asked this as well. You have connections with the military,
01:23:14.760
some military people, and with police, and law enforcement in Canada. What would you say
01:23:20.860
is the temperature in Canada right now as far as these individuals committing to their oath,
01:23:29.400
ultimately, rather than a tyrannical government?
01:23:38.380
Yeah. So let me just say this. Okay, I won't answer that question, but I'll tell you something else
01:23:44.720
I'm doing. In Canada and in Western societies, the military, and we'll talk specifically about
01:23:51.360
the military here, serves the state. It serves the good of the state. It serves the government.
01:23:56.000
It serves the will of the people. In communist China, a lot of people don't realize the People's
01:24:01.600
Liberation Army doesn't answer to the government, to the parliament. It doesn't answer to, it doesn't
01:24:08.680
even actually answer to President Xi of China. It answers to the head of the Communist Party of
01:24:14.500
Canada, which just happened, or Canada, oops, the Communist Party of China.
01:24:20.540
Sorry about that. A little Freudian thing there.
01:24:23.820
Yeah. So the People's Liberation Army answers to the head of the Communist Party, and the army,
01:24:31.480
the military, is there to support the Communist Party. Now, one of the things that helps out the
01:24:36.840
party with is defending the country, but it's there to support the party. What we're seeing happening
01:24:42.420
in Canada right now, in America, and in Europe, is the militaries are being hollowed out. So we're
01:24:48.960
actually, we know we've got people in the military sending us stuff, sending us papers, documents,
01:24:54.120
whatever, saying, oh my God, did you see this? So we're actually getting commanders in the military
01:24:58.440
saying, now, it's not your job to think about it. Your job is to just do it. Get the vaccine,
01:25:03.240
because you're told to. And if you say, well, isn't that an illegal order? Didn't we have this
01:25:08.180
with mefloquine? It's for the good of the country. Just do it. So the military, contrary to what
01:25:14.380
people think, is always trained to think. So if your commander says, we want you to drop some mortar
01:25:21.560
fire on that building, and you say, wow, I think that's a school. Matter of fact, we did recce on
01:25:26.280
that yesterday. We saw a school bus there. You are obliged as a soldier to point out that the order
01:25:31.780
might be illegal and bad, and then the commander has to make a decision to go ahead or not.
01:25:36.600
But what we're getting from people now is increasingly the view in the military is,
01:25:41.040
that's what the government wants. That's what we're going to do. And anybody who rejects the
01:25:47.200
government's will, they themselves will be rejected and tossed out. So one of the purposes,
01:25:53.720
I think, of this 100% vaccine mandate that General Ayer is trying to pursue, and by the way,
01:25:59.480
we're going to explain later how that guy got chosen. It's because he's 100% compliant with the
01:26:04.400
government. One of the reasons for the whole hard crackdown inside the military and the vaccine
01:26:09.040
mandate is it's cleaning out anybody who's got the guts to stand up and say, this is not only
01:26:14.640
illegal and unconstitutional, it's also bad for the military, because it decreases combat readiness
01:26:20.160
while increasing cost. So I think that's where the military is going in the future in Canada. It's
01:26:28.860
not there yet. It's not yet a party army in the same way that the PLA is. But that's the direction
01:26:34.900
it's moving in Canada. That's the direction it's moving in the States. Now, ironically, the military
01:26:40.220
came out this last week and said, well, recruiting is down. People aren't, you know, joining the forces
01:26:44.580
anymore. We don't know why we're going to change our recruiting strategy. And I thought, wow,
01:26:49.300
fascinating. Here's an idea. Go back to the old military, which was there for the benefit of the
01:26:54.440
state where the soldiers were taught to do the right thing under the right circumstances at the right
01:26:59.280
time, make it an effective career again, and tell people, you know, the guy next to you
01:27:04.560
might not be wearing a dress tomorrow. Maybe, maybe, just maybe we can get the military back
01:27:10.980
on track. But that's a long answer to a question that I'm not going to answer.
01:27:17.320
Right. Okay. Yep. We don't want to put you on the spot in anything. I won't touch the RCMP then
01:27:22.340
because we know there's that's, that's loaded. But I do know, I personally know that there's lots
01:27:28.560
of officers who have been extremely stressed in the, what's going on nearly three years.
01:27:34.780
And with the pressures that have come from a top-down problem that is within the RCMP
01:27:40.600
and with their new union, the NFP, NPF, I always get that backwards, but you know what? We're just
01:27:46.740
going to keep pressing in. And Tom, I always appreciate having you on. I know that we've
01:27:52.640
got lots of other questions going, but you know what? We'll have to have you back. And you know,
01:27:58.680
I don't know what issue we'll talk about next time. I mean, there's so, so much that's going
01:28:02.640
on in Canada right now. So in that, we're going to wrap up. Do you have any closing words?
01:28:09.460
Well, just one little thought about the RCMP. I see the commissioner of the RCMP.
01:28:15.700
A little bit. The commissioner of the RCMP has a 35% trust level in Canada, and I'm amazed it's
01:28:22.220
that high. The other thing is, I saw the, some parliamentary documents just came out that
01:28:28.260
inside the RCMP, the seniors of the RCMP were worried that information might be leaking to the
01:28:34.740
convoy. To which I will say, really? Fascinating insight. Thank you for that.
01:28:39.900
Right. Okay. Well, you know, a lot of the guests today that have, our viewers, whichever way,
01:28:48.480
the people that are joining us here, don't know some of the history with you back, but back in 2018,
01:28:54.080
you filed a hundred and, correct me, 132 page statement to Commissioner Lucky, the top cop,
01:29:03.880
and criminal charges, you know, for Justin Trudeau and a few others being involved in
01:29:10.520
funding terrorism. And then in February of 2019, you submitted more evidence, and you even have a
01:29:18.940
case number with which, to the best of our knowledge, Commissioner Lucky has done nothing
01:29:24.140
with it. And so your work for this country is quite extensive.
01:29:29.040
Yeah. The very short answer to that question is, they blew it off at the highest possible level.
01:29:37.140
The bigger the brush, the bigger the brush off. Yeah. They buried the whole thing and did nothing
01:29:41.340
with it. I can't say I'm surprised, but at least I can say it's on the record. It's there in the future
01:29:45.940
at some point, if an RCMP ever wants to investigate how money in Canada is being misappropriated to fund
01:29:52.640
terrorism and it's being done through the government, well, the evidence is already there
01:29:56.200
and they can move ahead with it. Right. Well, I just wanted people to know that little fun fact
01:30:01.560
about you. I wanted them to know that you've really fought hard for this country and I appreciate
01:30:07.180
you very much and I'm very grateful that you came on the show tonight. Cheers. Well, thanks very much.
01:30:12.320
It's always fun to be here. Good. We look forward to having you back. All right. Thanks. All right.
01:30:16.820
Ciao. Super. Woo. I told you this was going to be an interesting time with Tom Quiggin tonight.
01:30:25.400
I always love having Tom on. All right. So as I said, you know, there are solutions and I'm just going
01:30:32.560
to cover those again so it's fresh in your mind. Civil disobedience, noncompliance. It is a long
01:30:37.720
honored tradition when citizens are faced and up against a tyrannical government. Somebody that is
01:30:43.800
trying to come in and take us over from within. It's just not going to fly and there's more of us
01:30:50.700
than them. There's millions of us. So, you know, there's power in numbers and I just encourage you
01:30:55.840
to be part of Action for Canada. Help us get the word out there. Help us empower Canadians with the gift
01:31:02.040
of knowledge and the resources that we have. Help us build communities. Help us to vote smarter.
01:31:08.800
Organize groups that are within our chapters with all the amazing resources that we have. We have
01:31:13.320
something for everybody. Help our pastors, the ones that are out there on the front line. I met with
01:31:19.800
Pastor Jacob Room recently. Ron and I had a meeting with him. I mean, he's been charged millions and
01:31:26.340
millions of dollars, potentially faces 11 years in jail. It's going to go to the courts. We saw what
01:31:32.000
happened for Pastor Ardopolowski. Three appeal court judges exonerated him, said that Chief Justice
01:31:39.700
Germain's actions were basically criminal in what he had issued against the campaign against Pastor
01:31:46.440
Ardopolowski. And I believe that that decision of three appeal court judges is going to set a
01:31:51.120
precedence in this country. But we need to line the pews in the churches of those who are open and we
01:31:57.160
need to give our support. Canada as a Christian nation is the absolute core and foundation to
01:32:03.760
our freedom of democracy. As I've repeatedly said, to educate, educate you. But that it is a fact that
01:32:10.400
our whole system of governance and our laws are built on Judeo-Christian principles and biblical values.
01:32:17.700
And that does set us apart from totalitarian, communist, and extremist regimes. So, wow,
01:32:24.240
that was amazing. All right, next week, we have Barry Neufeldon, the school trustee in Chilliwack.
01:32:29.680
I'm telling you, you're not going to want to miss this one. What an amazing dear man this is,
01:32:35.100
who has for six years undergone extreme attack from the unions, from individuals that sat on the board
01:32:44.320
with him as trustees. And, you know, I believe that he is going to be exonerated, but he is going to be
01:32:51.000
in court in October. I'll be sending out a whole action Sunday night to give you more information on
01:32:56.020
that. If you are in Ottawa and the date that I'm going to give in October, we hope you'll, you know,
01:33:02.200
take a day off, do whatever you need to be present either on the court steps or within the courtroom.
01:33:07.280
Let's show an incredible amount of support for Barry Neufeld. The following week, we are, I should
01:33:14.860
add why, you can see at the bottom there, it's about the SOGI 123 resource, which was implemented
01:33:19.960
in BC back in 2016. And so Barry was the first one that actually verbalized that this would groom
01:33:29.560
children. And he was exactly dead right on, but he had no support. He had very little support except
01:33:35.480
for from, you know, a group of us who were awake and aware and fighting against this program now.
01:33:40.440
But now they're trying to make this, this SOGI specifically go nationally. We're going to put
01:33:45.440
a stop to it. Our new notice of liability that we launched in the summer is having a huge impact,
01:33:50.140
but we need all your help. And that's another reason why to join an Action for Canada chapter
01:33:54.480
and help create parents groups and help us get that this done. I'm excited to say the week after
01:34:00.700
Barry, we're having Patrick Moore come on. We're going to talk about climate change. Of course,
01:34:04.800
he was the founder of Greenpeace and he's extremely knowledgeable and help can settle some of the
01:34:10.780
information. If any of you are doubting whether there, you know, there is this climate, whether
01:34:16.000
it's climate propaganda or if it's real, it is climate propaganda. And again, it is involving
01:34:21.440
or the mission is to control people even further. And, you know, as I mentioned in this AI and digital
01:34:28.980
ID, if you think about the smart meter and how it's going to control your washer, your dryer,
01:34:34.340
your smart fridge, everything that's in your home. And then they can say whether or not you're having
01:34:40.240
what kind of carbon footprint that you're leaving and they can just decide to shut you off. So let's
01:34:45.460
talk about climate change as well. And then the week after that, if all things work together,
01:34:49.420
I'm going to have some of these amazing pastors on the show and we're going to talk about how
01:34:53.500
important your vote is and how we as communities can come together to take back all levels of
01:34:59.120
government. So I'll hope you'll join us as always. Love you so much. Thanks for joining us and God
01:35:17.100
I'm going to thank God and God alone for the ground that I'm standing on. I'm going to thank our
01:35:32.840
founding fathers for giving their lives and sacrificing so much for our freedom.
01:35:39.940
And I'm calling on you today. Don't put them to shame. Don't waste what they did. We have guaranteed
01:35:54.100
We are putting chapters across the nation. We are going to be in every town and every city and we are
01:36:09.040
going to build communities within these communities of like-minded people who are actually going to
01:36:14.320
care for one another again and love on each other and give each other the help when they're down.
01:36:19.240
We are going to use the teams and the people that built within chapters to support our businesses.
01:36:26.740
The government's actions are completely 100% unlawful. Judgment will again be found on justice
01:36:37.740
and those with virtuous hearts will pursue it. You have a virtuous heart if you are here today
01:36:45.900
pursuing freedom and righteousness. And then verse 23 comes along with a promise. God says he will turn the
01:36:57.020
sins of evil people back on them. He will destroy them for their sins. I take great comfort in that because I serve
01:37:09.740
a mighty living God who has allowed us to go through this season of discomfort because we as a nation
01:37:19.100
have turned our backs on him and we need to get right. So I am just going to thank you so much. I'm going to say
