00:00:00.000 Coming up to Pride Month, what we're asking is that you take action for Canada's letter that we've provided here.
00:00:06.960 You print it off. You just put your name on there.
00:00:09.320 You go to your local principal.
00:00:11.440 You go to the school board trustees. 1.00
00:00:13.440 You go to your mayor and city council and say, we've had enough of this pandering to this minority group.
00:00:18.960 It's extremely divisive.
00:00:20.460 It's upsetting.
00:00:21.660 I don't want my kids exposed to this any longer because they've passed the point.
00:00:25.640 It's no longer about anti-bullying.
00:00:27.440 It's about you accept my way or the highway.
00:00:30.000 and they're the bullies. They are massive bullies, and there's just got to be a stop to it.
00:00:35.000 And so it is amazing when you help to educate them on who created the pride flag, Gilbert Baker,
00:00:42.160 who said that's what flags are for. Flags are about proclaiming power as they're setting that
00:00:49.420 flag on the land and the schools and the cities. I don't want them controlling our land. I didn't
00:00:54.380 vote for them. I didn't elect them. This is a political force that needs to be dismantled
00:00:58.940 as far as their presence in our public spaces, enough is enough, you need to draw the line. 0.99
00:01:03.960 And then the creator of the trans flag, he was a pedophile, and he had sexual deviant fetishes, 0.98
00:01:14.780 and it's like, why are you celebrating that? Why do you want to celebrate that as the principal 0.99
00:01:19.980 of a school? Everybody in Canada has been way too nice, way too accepting, and it's time to
00:01:25.960 take a stand on behalf of our kids and then finally on our political lgbtq page as well
00:01:30.940 we've got this wonderful document do you know and again that came from team members who put this
00:01:37.200 together showing even like look at what the kids are exposed to at the pride parades why are we
00:01:42.400 allowing uh public nudity on our streets and the police right there turning a blind eye everybody
00:01:50.840 should be equal under the law right well if we're not going to enforce and insist insist upon it
00:01:55.760 then we're going to get what we are getting. And so this is a great resource even to bring
00:02:00.440 to business owners who have been bullied to death to put that little political symbol in their
00:02:06.960 windows. And they've said, we just finally gave in. We don't want it there, but we gave in because
00:02:12.200 they were bullying business owners. Well, let the business owners give them this resource and let
00:02:16.580 them know what it is they're actually supporting. So like I say, this is very important going into
00:02:21.000 June. It's important at any time of the year, but we just want you to know the resources that we
00:02:25.500 have to push back.
