In this episode, Heather and Tanya talk with freedom fighter and author David Lindsay about the dangers of mass immigration and the need to protect our borders. David is the co-founder of Common Law Education and Rights, or CLEAR for short, and many of you will recognize him as a passionate freedom fighter who has been involved in freedom issues for over 30 years. He is the author of several books, including The Annotated Criminal Charging Procedure in Canada, and The Coronation Oath, which is a constitutional document that is essential to restore our rights and freedoms. David has been an enthusiastic supporter of Action for Canada and is also our most featured guest. You can view his previous interviews on our website.
00:00:00.000We have none of the problems we see today.
00:00:03.160So my first point is, if multiculturalism is such a benefit for the country, if it's our strength, as Trudeau the communist says, how is it that we have gone from a country in less than 40, 50 years, we've gone from a country that leaves their cars open, their windows open, their homes open, something where nobody trusts anybody anymore.
00:00:26.080All the cars and windows and houses and everything are locked every time anybody goes out.
00:00:31.540And the presumption of honesty has been destroyed in our country now.
00:00:35.820People are living in fear everywhere we go.
00:01:07.900Because then kids may have started off at home doing the prayer, going to school, but then they would forget about it all day instead of having it brought to their attention immediately right at the beginning of school.
00:01:20.880So immigration is a form of constitutional creep.
00:01:29.560It's a form of religious creep where people literally are boiling in water and not knowing they're boiling with the amount of immigration that's coming into the country right now.
00:01:42.080In just a few moments, Tanya will be coming on to have a conversation with our special guest speaker.
00:01:51.300And it's always such a treat to have David Lindsay joining us on the Empower Hour.
00:01:56.920David is the co-founder of Common Law Education and Rights, or CLEAR for short.
00:02:02.760And many of you will recognize him as a passionate freedom fighter who has been involved in freedom issues for over 30 years.
00:02:10.220He is the author of several books, including The Annotated Criminal Charging Procedure in Canada.
00:02:17.580And he has created a 15-part webinar series entitled Common Law Made Clear, which is available for purchase.
00:02:25.820David has a great knowledge of the law, the Constitution, and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, as well as the Coronation Oath,
00:02:33.380which is a constitutional document that is essential to restoring our rights and freedoms.
00:02:38.700David has been an enthusiastic supporter of Action for Canada, and he's also our most featured guest.
00:02:46.420You can view his previous interviews on our website.
00:02:49.920We are always so happy to have David Lindsay join us on the Empower Hour.
00:02:54.400David, welcome. We're so glad you can join us once again.
00:02:58.700Greetings. Thank you very much. And I'm just grateful to be back on. Thank you.
00:03:02.560Thank you, Heather. Well, welcome, my friend. That's been a little bit, a few months, I think.
00:03:08.200It's been a few months since we've had you on.
00:08:29.760So one of the things I start off and I have been for years is a couple of principles that I've said about trying to apply in everything I do.
00:08:41.480And number one is to give credit for everybody as much as you can for people who do the work and quotes that you're going to give and so on.
00:08:49.520And the second thing is to try and bring everything down to a fundamental level.
00:08:54.100But far too often people talk in generalities, and that's where fraud lurks.
00:08:59.200And that is, ironically, a maxim of law that fraud lurks in generalities.
00:09:03.360So I like to talk and bring things down to a fundamental level.
00:09:06.660And one of the ones that I talk about frequently is the definition of what a law is.
00:09:12.140And when you ask people that, you get a wide variety of answers from statutes to bylaws to policies, generic answers.
00:09:22.220That's just what the government tells you it is and so on.
00:09:25.260But when you think of a law, a law is a command to do something or not to do something.
00:09:32.360And that's essentially what a command is.
00:09:35.980And when you think about it in that context, obvious questions then come to mind.
00:09:41.880Who's the person that gave the command?
00:09:43.740Did that person have the power to give the commands that they're issuing, which requires you to go up the chain of command to make sure that every link is there and isn't missing?
00:09:55.680Because if one link in the chain of jurisdiction fails, all power fails from that point forward.
00:10:00.900So immediately you can see a whole bunch of questions need to be asked and answered when you start realizing what a law is.
00:10:08.640It's not sufficient to say, well, Parliament passed it.
00:10:37.600OK, Section 9 of the B&A Act is simply the section that vests the executive of Canada, even today, in the hands of the monarch.
00:10:47.640And our Constitution is not simply the Constitution Act of 1982.
00:10:55.020We have a number of constitutional documents that go back in our heritage quite a ways.
00:11:00.620When the judges, for example, wanted judicial independence and they wanted higher money, they went directly to the Act of Settlement in England in 1701, which was only 20 years, 21 years after the Coronation of Act and a few years later after the English Bill of Rights.
00:11:18.900So clearly, these documents in English constitutional law are still applicable in our law as well.
00:11:26.240And it's important to remember that the Constitution Act of Canada is not exhaustive.
00:11:31.140And when we talk about the oath, although King Chucky, for example, he waited a year, as did his mom, Queen Elizabeth, they waited a year before they took their oath.
00:11:43.720However, the principle applies that once the king or queen dies, that second forward, the next king or queen, is automatically in power.
00:11:52.540And the principles of that Coronation Oath still apply from that point forward.
00:11:57.040So they cannot sit back and go, well, I haven't taken the oath yet, so I can do whatever I want for a year.
00:12:13.660So the Coronation Oath and the promises that are in it apply from the minute that king, excuse me, that king is in power.
00:12:21.020Now, in this O'Donoghue case, from the Ontario Court of Appeal, Prime Minister, former Prime Minister Saint Laurent, mentioned this to the House of Commons.
00:12:31.900And he said, Her Majesty is now Queen of Canada, but she is Queen of Canada because she's Queen of the United Kingdom.
00:13:34.420Now, here's what would happen if Canada or any other country was to say, well, sorry, the rules of succession don't apply here.
00:13:45.800And we can make our own laws and do whatever we want.
00:13:47.980And they were clear that we could break symmetry with Great Britain.
00:13:51.700We could conceivably recognize a different monarch.
00:13:55.540And you can involve yourself with countries that are totally opposite to our shared values and beliefs.
00:14:01.520So it's clearly important that we recognize the importance of the Coronation Oath and the fact that Canada is part of it and does not have the power at this point to get out.
00:14:13.120Now, the one thing about the oath that is the most important, in my view, is the supremacy of God protection that is in there.
00:14:23.740And this is something that in that oath goes back to 973 AD.
00:14:28.960And when the monarch was being sworn in, Queen Elizabeth, the archbishop was very clear.
00:14:36.320This is the most valuable thing the world affords.
00:14:39.500And the Bible is called the royal law.
00:14:42.200Most people don't realize that when you go into a courtroom and you stand for the judge,
00:14:48.400historically, the reason people stood is because the judge walked into court holding the Holy Bible.
00:14:55.240That is what people stood in respect for.
00:14:58.200They didn't stand in respect of the judge.
