David Lindsay is a freedom fighter who is on the front lines of standing up for every Canadian s fundamental freedoms. He has been involved in freedom issues for over 30 years and is the author of several books, including The Annotated Criminal Charging Procedure in Canada. He is the co-founder of Common Law Education and Rights, or CLEAR for short, and he is a passionate freedom fighter. David has been on the show so many times and has done so much educating and promoting the work Action for Canada is doing. Tonight, he is here to help educate us on constitutional and freedom issues in Canada and to help push back against the tyrannical government.
00:00:00.000I think it's critical that people, when they do stand up, that they have the concept in their mind that it's not just their own personal religion they're standing up for,
00:00:12.240but it's the principle of Christianity that's enshrined in our Constitution, because people tend to believe the lies that government have told us over the years about the alleged separation between church and state.
00:00:32.240And you have a constitutional power to refuse to comply with it.
00:00:38.360That is the most powerful form of rights and freedoms that we have in Canada, is your ability to tell the government, I'm not going to comply.
00:00:47.380We are always so delighted to have our good friend, David Lindsay, joining us on the Empower Hour.
00:00:59.560David has been involved in freedom issues for over 30 years.
00:01:03.620He is the author of several books, including The Annotated Criminal Charging Procedure in Canada.
00:01:09.580And he is the co-founder of Common Law Education and Rights, or CLEAR for short.
00:01:16.580David is a passionate freedom fighter who is on the front lines of standing up for every Canadian's fundamental freedoms.
00:01:23.380And he faithfully promotes the work Action for Canada is doing.
00:01:27.620Tonight, he's here to help educate us on constitutional and freedom issues in Canada.
00:01:32.300Will you all, please help me welcome, David Lindsay.
00:01:36.580David, welcome. It's so good to have you on the Empower Hour once again.
00:01:40.440Yeah, hi. Good evening. Thanks for having me again. It's good to see you, everyone.
00:01:44.200Super. Thank you, Heather. Yeah, David, it's good to have you back.
00:01:47.100Okay, so what I'd like to do, David, this is going to be a very important topic.
00:01:51.580And I'm going to ask that when we launch this on Rumble tomorrow, that people will give us a thumbs up and share it.
00:01:59.240Because there's a verse in the Bible that goes, for a lack of knowledge, you know, people perish.
00:02:04.760And you can understand that educating ourselves on our Constitution and the Charter of Rights and the Rule of Law are critical to us rising up against this tyrannical government that are asserting powers that they do not actually have.
00:02:18.800And so to start, before I hand it over to you to do the presentation, I want to share a link to our website so that people can educate themselves further.
00:02:32.360You have been on the show so many times. You've done so much educating, so many videos.
00:02:37.100And we've actually created a couple of pages on your behalf.
00:02:42.220And so I'm just going to share my page. We'll open this up.
00:02:46.580And just in case somebody doesn't make it to the end of the show, if you go in and under search, Kian, David Lindsay, either David Lindsay Coronation Oath, it'll bring you to this page, or David Lindsay just in general.
00:02:59.820It will also lead you to a bio page. And if you scroll down, you will see the presentations that David did on multiple occasions addressing different issues from 15-minute cities to knowing your rights and asserting them to the problem with mass immigration and also defying the tyrants.
00:03:22.040That was a good one, etc. Like criminal charges. We were very actively involved helping citizens across Canada after the COVID scenario propaganda had started to die down and even actually still in the midst of it.
00:03:37.640We were helping people to assert the rights and move all the way through the courts, taking their actions against actually potentially their employers to court.
00:03:50.340And we got to the courts, but the courts did not proceed with them because in order to say, yes, your employer is exploiting you and in violation of your rights and what they're doing is actually criminal, then what would that say for Justin Trudeau and the little cabal at the top?
00:04:08.080So I would say the courts chickened out. The judges did. They said, yeah, we're not going to touch this.
00:04:13.760And even though the cases were legitimate, David can even explain that if he likes a little further when he comes on.
00:04:20.740So we've been fighting a tough battle. We've been pressing back against it.
00:04:24.120And I believe that all of this has worked towards educating citizens so that they would assert their God-given inalienable rights.
00:04:33.220And so we figure it's been a while since we've touched on this. I'll stop sharing screen for a moment and then hand the floor over to David.
00:04:43.100But David and I have often discussed the coronation oath, and I call it a buried treasure that needs to be resurrected because it is foundational to the fact that Canada should be governed by Christian biblical principles.
00:04:55.660And if you're not a Christian, your knee-jerk reaction might be to say, no, we're secular, or unless you want to be a post-national state or a communist tyrannical state,
00:05:05.660you are going to have a clearer, better understanding of why embracing the fact that we're a Christian nation is vital to your personal freedom to believe or not to believe.
00:05:17.820And if you don't embrace this, the only other options are secular and a post-national state with no core identity, which of course is communism and tyranny.
00:05:28.320And anyways, David, I hope that I've given a little bit of an overview of why it's important to have you on and again addressing this issue so that we can help power people up a little more to assert their rights even further.
00:05:41.060Yeah, thank you. I think I'm going to address that in my second slide that I'll get to in a second.
00:05:48.080But I'm really grateful for being back on. The issues we're going to talk about are critical.
00:05:56.760And, you know, one of the most important things that our group CLEAR, for example, is Common Law Education and Rights, and we're all about education.
00:06:05.180But ultimately, it revolves and includes, by necessity, activism.
00:06:10.620And if people are not prepared to sacrifice, if they're not prepared to realize that they need courage,
00:06:19.860I've talked about it at our outdoor rallies on a few occasions, the absolute importance of having courage.
00:06:26.720And Jordan Peterson had a good comment a year ago that he said,
00:06:32.440everybody knows how important it is to have courage, and it's much better to have courage than not to have any.
00:06:39.400And that's something that, you know, where have all the people with courage gone in Canada over the years, right?
00:06:45.900Right. Well, you know, David, I'm excited because it's building.
00:06:49.740I've been, I've had an incredibly busy day, actually, weak life in the 10 years.
00:06:54.360But specifically, what I'm noting is when I started 10 years ago, it was really hard to get people to come on the front line with us and say,
00:07:03.020regarding the radical LGBTQ activism going into the schools, they're like buying into the scenario that, oh, love is love.
00:07:12.080And these people, you know, have a right to equality.
00:07:16.420And it's like they had a right to equality.
00:14:20.080It is the monarch who gives royal assent to the legislation.
00:14:24.540And by doing that, it is the monarch that issues the commands to do or not to do something.
00:14:29.720And if they issue a command, then it's said that there's basically under a duty.
00:14:36.000And I will get to that point when we talk about rights and duties in a minute as well.
00:14:40.360But essentially, all commands flow from the monarch.
00:14:45.480And if the law is a command, then every act is either permitted or it's forbidden.
00:14:50.660So, when we talk about law and the law being a command, that's where we get into the common law principles, its fundamental principles as well.
00:15:04.580And that being is, everything is permitted that's not expressly forbidden.
00:15:09.600So, when we talk about the law being a command, and everything is a command to do or not to do something,
00:15:17.520we need to reference at the starting point that unless it's forbidden, everything is permitted.
00:15:37.180Did they exceed their power and authority and so on?
00:15:41.600But the starting point in our common law is that everything is essentially permitted.
00:15:47.060And as I've said before, where are you going to get a law that as a starting point is better than that?
00:15:53.220Because every other form of law, communism, socialism, fascism, and so on, has a much different starting point and a much more restrictive one, right?
00:16:08.700And we need to look at those as being the highest form of commands that are out there, right?
00:16:15.980They're higher than the monarchs because the monarch has also sworn an oath to God.
00:16:21.740And I'm going to show you that in just a couple of minutes as well.
00:16:23.940But in our law, the highest form of law, even in the charter, it says God and the rule of law.
00:16:31.380It does not say the rule of law and God.
00:16:34.160And if you look at that sentence in the charter where it says God and the rule of law, you'll notice there's a full colon after the word rule of law.
00:16:41.880That means everything else within the charter falls under that rubric, that classification of God and the rule of law.
00:16:56.020And if there's a conflict, God's laws prevail.
00:17:02.920And this goes back to your conscience, your beliefs, and your ability to stand on your beliefs.
00:17:11.320And again, we go back to courage, right?
00:17:13.360So if the statute, as Broome pointed out, Blackstone and Coke and many other English judges all pointed out over the years, or even right up to Lord Denning a few decades ago, if Parliament or the monarch passes a law that violates God's laws, it's of no force and effect.
00:17:32.280And you have a constitutional power to refuse to comply with it.
00:17:37.580And that is the most powerful form of law, of rights and freedoms that we have in Canada, is your ability to tell the government, I'm not going to comply.
00:17:49.000Because it violates God's laws that you swore an oath to protect.
00:17:55.560And when you go back, Lord Denning, amongst Coke, Blackstone, and others, they pointed out that the king was under God and that virtually all lawyers.
00:18:11.200And when we look at the legal system today, that's not the case.
00:18:15.440Both in terms of people sitting on the bench and people who are just practicing law in the courts.
00:18:23.740But as Lord Denning said, that was one of the reasons our law was so great, is because not only was the monarch sworn to uphold God's laws, but the entire legal profession were Christians.
00:18:34.700And we're there to uphold God's laws as well.
00:18:37.580And there's very few of those in existence today.
00:18:40.360How can you expect people who don't believe in God, the Christian God, Jesus Christ, how can you expect them to uphold God's laws in our courtrooms when they don't believe in that?
00:18:52.600And this is, again, back to the principle of civil disobedience.
00:19:00.080If we have rights coming from God, then we have duties against, or the other way around, if we have duties from God, we have rights against the state.
00:19:10.200And when the state tells us we do not need to comply, they are wrong.
00:19:18.260We do have the power of refusing to comply with anything that violates God's laws in the Bible.
00:19:24.260And it's really empowering to think that, because some people have been talking about Alberta being supreme, I'm sorry, breaking away and forming its own country and various others.
00:19:37.080And what are you going to replace it with that's better?
00:19:40.680Are you going to have a constitution that has God as the supreme law?
00:20:14.460And basically, we are suffering today as a result of people like Trudeau, an admitted communist, atheist, and many other of the prime ministers, who have simply avoided God's laws, and the monarchs who have failed to uphold their oath, including King Chucky, who is basically promoting Islam right now in England.
00:20:38.520And if you criticize it, we're being put in jail for doing that.
00:20:42.520That tells me a revolt is coming pretty quickly in England, I think.
00:20:48.340People are already marching in the streets, and they know these politicians and monarchs are breaking their oath and the law, and it needs to be changed.
00:20:59.480The Ontario Court of Appeal already upheld that the coronation oath, it's what's called part of the rules of succession of the monarch.
00:21:08.540And there are several statutes that do that.
00:21:10.940And the coronation oath act, the English Bill of Rights, the Act of Settlement are the three main ones, but it goes back to Magna Carta as well.
00:21:21.800And that sets out what the monarch can and cannot do when they're giving royal assent in all capacities, executive, legislative, and ministerial, all capacities.
00:21:33.160And as the court said, these rules of succession are non-justiciable, meaning the court can't change it.
00:21:41.220It's there, it's there, and you have to accept them.
00:21:46.460In the Bible, or I should say in the ceremony, where in this case, Queen Elizabeth is sworn in, these are the words that the archbishop is telling the queen and reading to her about upholding the royal law.
00:22:36.060And it's a Christian, part of the Christian ceremony.
00:22:40.960The whole ceremony, swearing in the monarch, is Christian-based.
00:22:45.380And this goes back, in this case, what they do is they put a canopy over the monarch, and the purpose of that is to protect their privacy.
00:22:53.620So when they're being anointed with the holy oil, their job is to, or their duty is to reflect on their duties in upholding God's laws, and to basically maintain that privacy in their thoughts of doing that.
00:25:14.220Will you, to the utmost of your power, maintain the laws of God and the true profession of the gospel?
00:25:20.620Will you, to the utmost of your power, maintain in the United Kingdom the Protestant Reformed religion established by law?
00:25:28.480Will you maintain and preserve inviolable the settlement of the Church of England and the doctrine, worship, discipline, and government thereof,
00:29:43.000And the whole purpose of royal assent is to keep a check and balance on parliament to make sure they don't get out of control.
00:29:52.840And the fact that they are saying that parliament is supreme and can do whatever it wants is a myth.
00:30:00.540It's a way to take religion out of government.
00:30:03.340Because parliament is not supreme, neither here nor in England at all.
00:30:08.960And it was asked one time, what would happen if parliament recommended a bill that violates the monarch's oath?
00:30:17.580They would be violating their duties to do that.
00:30:21.900And the Lord Mackey, former advocate and Lord Chancellor, pointed out, we hope it would never happen.
00:30:28.020But the idea of the coordination oath to keep parliament in check is that they would not make those recommendations.
00:30:35.520Wally Klink pointed out years ago that if the monarch, if parliament continues to represent or to recommend to the monarch to pass laws that she doesn't, he doesn't have the power to do,
00:30:50.120the monarch is required to tell parliament not to do that and to cease and desist.
00:30:56.060If they refuse and keep doing it, then the monarch can dissolve parliament.
00:31:01.420If parliament refuses to be dissolved and they continue, the monarch has the power to bring in the armed forces to get rid of parliament, including the prime minister.
00:31:16.940The armed forces, as with all MPs, are all sworn in allegiance to the monarch.
00:31:22.780They are not sworn in allegiance to parliament.
00:31:26.060Or to the prime minister, for that matter.
00:31:29.440I don't think one MP sitting in Ottawa has a clue what they swear to when they take that oath.
00:31:37.240But everybody, when I was on the trucker's convoy in the last couple of days and they had all the guards there, I was face to face, two inches away.
00:31:45.020And I told them, remember, your oath is to the monarch, it's not to Trudeau.
00:31:51.940Some of them didn't care, but there was a couple that were visibly surprised when the oath got reminded to them, because all power flows from the oath.
00:32:00.340And surprisingly to many who think the charter is the rule of law, when Queen Elizabeth signed the charter, she could not sign a charter that violated her coronation oath to uphold God's supremacy of the Christian God.
00:32:14.640Everything in the charter is subservient to her law.
00:32:19.100And there's a principle that one constitutional document cannot override another.
00:32:24.120They cannot use the charter to override the oath.
00:32:27.440There's also a first-in-time, first-in-line principle in common law.
00:32:32.020The coronation oath is where the monarch gets her power.
00:32:34.560She could not sign the charter if she was recommending the supremacy of any other God other than the Christian God.
00:32:45.220And another issue that I wanted to talk about today are these fundamentals of law, because they apply in all aspects of the coronation oath, as well as all aspects of law.
00:32:58.000These words are used indiscriminately by everybody.
00:33:00.780I used to do them without knowing what they meant.
00:33:04.560And I'm going to take just a couple of minutes to very, very cursory go through them, because it's important to know what these words mean.
00:33:14.000Every law, every statute, every relationship can be reduced to these fundamentals.
00:33:23.020And I'm glad a friend and a lawyer brought this to my attention 20 years ago, because I had no idea about it at the time.
00:33:31.180And the correlative of a right is a duty.
00:33:37.840In other words, if somebody has a right, there's a duty on somebody else not to violate that right.
00:34:25.600I have the privilege of going on the land and using my own property, and the queen has no right or power to stop me.
00:34:32.820That is a privilege, the ability to use your land to do anything that you want.
00:34:37.860And there's no legal redress that anybody can do against you for doing it.
00:34:43.780And it could be called the Charter of Rights and Privileges, because legally it means the same thing as a freedom or liberty.
00:34:53.140And the opposite, or correlative, I should say, is no right.
00:34:56.820So if one has the privilege to do that, the correlative is that, in this case, the queen has no right to go on your land or to take your property.
00:35:04.500And the opposite is a duty of a privilege.
00:35:08.640So if you have a liberty or freedom, then there's a duty on somebody else to respect those as well.
00:35:14.560These, I go through in a lot of detail in my, in our presentation or webinar series.
00:35:20.420I spend probably a couple hours at least going through these in detail, so I'm really summarizing.
00:35:24.900However, if you can do your own research, the fundamental source of knowledge on this is a man called Hohfeld, H-O-H-F-E-L-D.
00:35:36.140And you'll find his, his materials are the starting point for this.
00:35:42.240So the best known example of a privilege is a privilege against self-incrimination.
00:35:46.660Many people call it a right not to self-incriminate, but it's actually a privilege.
00:35:51.480It's a freedom that they cannot force on you.
00:35:54.900You have the right or privilege not to testify in court, and they have no right to stop you.
00:36:04.380The monarch has the privilege only of passing laws that uphold and maintain the laws of God that don't violate them, and our rights and freedoms and liberties.
00:36:15.260But you have no right against her from doing so.
00:36:18.300So if the monarch passes a law that says you have to travel on the right-hand side of the highway, that doesn't violate gods in any way, laws in any way, and it would be binding.
00:36:27.280And we would be required to comply with it, for example, right?
00:36:32.100But if they're breaking the law, then you do not have a duty to comply with those laws.
00:36:37.260And again, these fundamentals form another source of power for peaceful civil disobedience.
00:36:46.320And a privilege is not the same as a license, and this is where most people get confused on it.
00:36:52.840A license is a particular form of a privilege.
00:36:56.080If somebody gives permission to do an act without the permission would be unlawful, that is a license.
00:37:04.440And that's a form of a privilege, because you can use your property without it being unlawful.
00:37:11.900It's lawful to do that, but nobody else can unless you give the permission to come on the land that without the permission would be unlawful.
00:37:21.420Think about the implications of this when we talk about a license, and the city, for example, says, oh, you need a permit to speak in public.
00:37:31.120I don't need your permit to speak in public.
00:37:34.160We have the constitutional freedom to do that, and you cannot license our constitutional freedoms.
00:37:43.560In relation to the coronation oath, we own our rights and freedoms from God.
00:37:49.460That's who we have our duties to in the exercise of those rights and freedoms.
00:37:53.680All the monarch is is a trustee to protect those that God has already given us.
00:37:59.760And we gave the monarch restricted permission to, or privilege, to pass laws we would comply with.
00:38:06.660That's why it's called a limited monarch, not an absolute monarch.
00:38:12.920Without that permission, it would be unlawful.
00:38:16.000Remember, there's only two ways to tell somebody what to do.
00:38:19.460One is force, which is unlawful, and the other is by consent.
00:38:23.060Somebody agrees that you can tell them what to do, hopefully in their best interest.
00:38:26.960And if the monarch is going to pass laws to tell you what to do without your permission, essentially it would be a declaration of war, unless we had individually given them permission to do so.
00:38:39.000And the last one is immunities and disabilities.
00:38:52.140And the monarch has immunities in her position.
00:38:56.380If she is not violating God's laws, then there's nothing you can do to her or him, as the case may be.
00:39:02.360I'm still used to having the queen in power, but ultimately, if the monarch is within the execution of her duties, there's no power of us to do anything.
00:39:11.600If she passes a law to travel on the right-hand side of the road, there's nothing you can do to stop her, unless you figure some other violation of the law she has committed.
00:39:20.620If the monarch takes actions, such as in this case, I'm referencing the Income Tax Act, which is also unconstitutional, that are not authorized by our contract, then she is what's called outside the execution of her duty.
00:39:37.360You don't have to comply with her anymore.
00:39:40.620And I really want to emphasize the belief that you need to have that if the monarch is violating God's laws, that is your source of power of civil disobedience.
00:39:52.680Her disabilities are removed, and she's liable for her actions.
00:39:57.780And that liability primarily comes from your power to say, no, you will not be subject to her, at least insofar as that one statute is concerned.
00:40:07.600Every other statute may be lawful and correct.
00:40:12.020But the ones that she's breaking, and I say statute, it could be an action, like allowing all these immigrants to come in and commit an evasion, for example.
00:40:20.840That is an action that would violate her oath, and we would oppose that.
00:40:26.120And the last one is called powers and liabilities.
00:40:29.640And essentially, a power is the ability to control a given legal relation against somebody else.
00:40:34.440And this is where your power comes in to control the relationship with the monarch.
00:40:40.240Remember, you were free originally before a monarch ever existed.
00:41:43.720You have property in a thing, such as a car, for example.
00:41:47.900And you have property in an obligation.
00:41:51.040For example, if somebody says, I will cut your grass for five bucks, and you agree to that, and then the person refuses, you may have a claim because that person had an obligation to do it.
00:42:06.040So, going one step further, if the person cuts your grass and you refuse to pay the five bucks, then that individual has a property claim against you for not paying them the five dollars.
00:42:21.500Those are your two different types of property.
