Transcript

00:00:00.000 So, this is a piece of paper. Can Lindsay zoom in on it?
00:00:03.000 This is an eviction notice, I believe, to anybody older than five who's not vaccinated is getting evicted from Ronald McDonald House.
00:00:13.000 So, I'm just gonna go talk to people at the counter and see if it's legit, huh?
00:00:23.000 Hey there.
00:00:25.000 Um, do you have like a manager here or somebody in your costume?
00:00:29.000 Oh, yeah.
00:00:34.000 It's about this letter we got?
00:00:36.000 About saying everybody here has these asking names?
00:00:51.000 Hey.
00:00:52.000 Well, I'm just asking, like, we got this last night.
00:00:57.000 Yes.
00:00:58.000 Uh, it's just pretty disturbing. I'm just wondering if it's legit. Is this saying that, like, everybody who's not vaccinated is getting evicted?
00:01:04.000 No, we have a grace period to which you can get your first dose, but essentially as of January 17th. It's a board mandate from Laura.
00:01:14.000 From Laura.
00:01:15.000 From Laura.
00:01:16.000 I just want to get this straight. So, by the end of the month, my four year old boy with leukemia is getting evicted because we don't have a vaccine.
00:01:26.000 My parents.
00:01:27.000 This is, if he was six months old, he would be an evicted. But yeah, because we don't have the vaccine, you're going to throw it down the snow for the few weeks notice.
00:01:39.000 Like, this is some kind of crazy evil. Like, I have never seen in my life. It doesn't matter if you're vaccinated or not. Everybody knows if you still have to wear the masks.
00:01:49.000 Because you can go out and get COVID transmitted and bring it back in. That's why vaccinate people with masks. So, it doesn't matter if you're vaccinated or not.
00:01:57.000 Like, the idea is to make people safer. This isn't about safety. This is coercing people to get a vaccine, choosing between their children and their own beliefs.
00:02:09.000 Whether it's religious beliefs, whether it doesn't need to get the vaccine. My kid has gone all his vaccines. We're not anti-vaccinated. This is absolutely an abomination.
00:02:18.000 So, just let me get this clear. Are you both of you vaccinated?
00:02:21.000 No.
00:02:22.000 Okay.
00:02:25.000 So, what we're doing is protecting the safety of everybody in the house?
00:02:28.000 No, you're not. Because a vaccinated person can still get it and transmit it.
00:02:32.000 That's right. And so, what we're trying to do is reduce our risks to the entire family.
00:02:36.000 That doesn't make sense. Your conscience is seared. Do you understand? This is absolutely evil.
00:02:43.000 So, do you want me to...
00:02:45.000 You're evicting kids with leukemia, kids who have strokes, kids with Down syndrome. Do you understand how evil this is?
00:02:54.000 Would you like to...
00:02:55.000 Where are we going to go? It's hard enough to get by and everything.
00:02:59.000 Are you staying... Are you... Are you... Are you... Using BCFRP?
00:03:05.000 I don't understand.
00:03:07.000 Are you being funded through... Through BCFRP to stay here?
00:03:13.000 There are cops for kids that are helping us out and then...
00:03:16.000 Okay. So, how long have you been here?
00:03:18.000 We've been here for months. We have all our stuff here.
00:03:21.000 Yeah. And we're still here for June.
00:03:23.000 Totally understand that. Totally understand that.
00:03:25.000 No matter what your beliefs are, no matter what country you're from or anything, everybody supports sick kids.
00:03:31.000 Everybody thinks kids will be supported. And you're saying that over a vaccine, you're going to evict them.
00:03:37.000 Like, think about what our national anthem says. Like, this is not Canada. This is an absolute disgrace to our country.
00:03:44.000 To be saying that, you know, you're sick to leukemia. He's not welcome here anymore.
00:03:49.000 I thought we were a country that stood against segregation.
00:03:52.000 And now you're about to set up a room and scan people's vaccine passwords.
00:03:56.000 And say, this group of people can stay. And this group of people, you're going outside.
00:04:01.000 Like, this is just so messed up. And I just...
00:04:06.000 I don't even know what to say. Like, this country's conscience is seared.
00:04:12.000 This is what we think is good and moral and safe.
00:04:16.000 Because there's absolutely no coherent thought to this at all.
00:04:22.000 Anybody can transmit COVID.
00:04:24.000 A vaccinated person, an unvaccinated person, Omicron is 80% less deadly than the previous variants.
00:04:29.000 And we're strangling people even more now.
00:04:31.000 This is absolutely insane.
00:04:33.000 So, I'm just saying, like, don't think you guys are just going to get away with this.
00:04:38.000 Because we're going to fight this and expose this to people.
00:04:42.000 Because this is a great evil that has been done today.
00:04:46.000 To evict sick kids.
00:04:48.000 With three weeks notice.
00:04:50.000 We're giving you an opportunity.
00:04:52.000 And since he's under five, he doesn't need to be vaccinated.
00:04:55.000 But certainly, the parents stay in here daily.
00:04:58.000 But if he was six months older, you would evict a five-year-old with leukemia.
00:05:02.000 If he has an accommodation through the hospital, it's the parents...
00:05:08.000 It's okay. It's okay.
00:05:10.000 People whose consciences are still intact, people who still believe in things like love your neighbor,
00:05:16.000 and don't believe in segregation, will know that this is wrong.
00:05:20.000 So what do we...
00:05:21.000 There are states in the U.S. that have no problems.
00:05:24.000 And then there's one regulation, one mandate.
00:05:26.000 They're totally open.
00:05:28.000 This, people, the whole world is laughing at it.
00:05:31.000 Think of Australia.
00:05:32.000 If you have COVID, they take you away to a camp for two weeks.
00:05:35.000 So I hear what you're saying.
00:05:36.000 This is absolutely crazy.
00:05:38.000 So why don't I just give you a room number?
00:05:40.000 And we can also set you up with further questions that you guys have.
00:05:44.000 What room number are you in?
00:05:45.000 It's 232.
00:05:46.000 232.
00:05:47.000 Okay.
00:05:48.000 I don't want to do this.
00:05:49.000 I'm not...
00:05:50.000 I'm an agreeable person.
00:05:51.000 I hate confrontation.
00:05:52.000 But this is so bad.
00:05:53.000 As a man, don't understand.
00:05:55.000 Like, this cannot happen.
00:05:57.000 Like, this is segregation.
00:05:59.000 That's what crazy people are.
00:06:01.000 They say, my body, my choice, my body, my choice.
00:06:04.000 What about my wife, her body, her choice?
00:06:07.000 It's okay.
00:06:08.000 She must get a third trimester abortion, her body, her choice.
00:06:10.000 But not if she doesn't want to get a vaccine that all it does is offer reduces your chances of hospitalization and death.
00:06:17.000 Like, how does that keep everybody here safe?
00:06:21.000 So thank you for letting me know your thoughts.
00:06:25.000 It's common sense.
00:06:27.000 It's logic.
00:06:28.000 This is the truth.
00:06:29.000 This is coercion to try to make people choose between their children and against their conscience.
00:06:37.000 It's wrong.
00:06:38.000 The social worker will help...
00:06:40.000 Yeah, no.
00:06:41.000 Let me call my social worker.
00:06:42.000 She's great.
00:06:43.000 Okay.
00:06:44.000 I'm gonna go to breakfast.
00:06:46.000 Okay.
00:06:47.000 You...
00:06:48.000 you...
00:06:50.000 ...
