Action4Canada - Grooming A Nation with Pronouns and Land Acknowledgements

00:00:00.000 The sound of my heart pumping is so loud sometimes I feel like everybody must be able to hear it

00:00:05.200 because I never even felt this way when I was in court but you get in there and the energy is so

00:00:09.460 toxic and you know and whenever I stand up the whole place goes totally quiet.

00:00:18.240 So not in a good way not in a good way so I stand up and I say my point and it's really but I do it

00:00:29.440 and as soon as I stand up I notice that my fear just drains out of me and I stand and it's amazing

00:00:36.640 once you're in action the fear goes away it's the sitting cogitating pondering worrying upset

00:00:45.760 complaining like and the and the contemplating the doing once you do it it's incredible how much you

00:00:52.340 feel stronger because you're in action so as soon as I stand up I say I'm at work now I'm a lawyer and

00:00:58.500 my client is the province of British Columbia and I'm going to speak.

00:01:06.960 So there's an amazing undercover journalist in the states whose motto is be brave do something I love

00:01:13.860 that one that's a good one and and stop thinking someone else will do these things okay it's it's

00:01:20.300 up to each of us uh just so whichever way you find you can do it do just do it and don't wait for

00:01:28.320 someone else to do it because you're all more powerful than I can be by myself um the land

00:01:33.300 acknowledgements and pronouns that is a way of grooming you and um the land acknowledgements are

00:01:38.860 grooming make no mistake about it when I've heard the first time I heard one I was like this is not good

00:01:44.580 I remember being alert to it right away I'm like what the heck are we doing here do you know that

00:01:49.600 they're now doing the land acknowledgements ahead of the national anthem at hockey games I've heard

00:01:53.540 I mean and it's it's incredible so um I don't go to the hockey games but apparently that's what

00:02:00.640 they're doing and um every day every day telling children they're on stolen land and that they should

00:02:10.320 be ashamed of their history it's so damaging to the kids morale we are an amazing why do you think

00:02:16.040 people want to immigrate here because we're a horrible country we're a great country but we're

00:02:21.200 being we're it's it's a way of lowering your um dispiriting you it's it's a way of bringing you

00:02:29.260 down and making you feel just like what's the use it's futile okay who cares anymore if they tax me

00:02:35.840 more it's it's really intended to take the joy out of you and to um disempower you and these land

00:02:44.300 acknowledgements have got to stop if I were premier I would immediately say no more land

00:02:49.440 acknowledgements at any publicly funded institution
