Our guest speaker is Barry Neufeld, a Chilliwack, BC School Board Trustee who has been targeted for his stand against the Sexual Orientation Guidance Guidance Program (SOGI) in Canada.
00:01:00.000Action for Canada is a grassroots movement reaching out to millions of Canadians and
00:01:05.920uniting our voices in opposition to the destructive policies tearing at the fabric of our nation.
00:01:12.480Through call-to-action campaigns, we equip citizens to take action.
00:01:17.320We are committed to protecting faith, family, and freedom.
00:01:21.160My friends, for many of you who are watching the Empower Hour today, you are well aware that we are in a battle for the hearts and minds and freedoms of Canadians of all ages from conception until natural death.
00:01:36.360Some of you are new to the fight and are just hopping on board, eager for information and like-minded people to connect with.
00:01:44.580Others of you are battled and scarred and weary.
00:01:47.880And this weekly webinar is a way for you to recharge and renew.
00:01:52.960Leading us in this fight is Tanya Gaw, the founder and leader of Action for Canada.
00:01:58.240She is passionate and valiant, and with her team alongside her, she is relentless in her quest to bring knowledge and truth to hurting Canadians all across our nation.
00:02:09.980Tanya is a woman of faith and acknowledges that her strength comes from the head commander, the God of all creation.
00:02:16.840Once again this evening, Tanya will be sharing more information with us, showcasing the Action for Canada website, as well as various wins that we're seeing across our nation.
00:02:27.160Will you all please help me welcome Tanya Gaw?
00:02:38.600Thank you, as always, for your amazing orientation.
00:02:41.400You are such a valued part of this team, as well as our production team, but it goes beyond that, doesn't it?
00:02:47.180You are in the core team meetings on Thursdays, and you know what it takes to see Action for Canada, you know, grow across the nation into over 100 chapters, and we're going to get into every single community, but we have so many volunteers.
00:03:03.180And then beyond that, beyond the leadership of our chapters and our core teams and the production team, there are our members, and with them, we are accomplishing amazing things in Canada.
00:03:15.440And so I can't wait to get into tonight's quick review.
00:03:19.980I always say quick, but there's so much stuff.
00:03:22.200So I'm going to save a lot of it for Taboo Talks on Tuesday, and we're going to dig more into this issue.
00:03:29.020And I think that what Barry is doing, I have just so much respect for Barry.
00:03:37.520And once you find out more about his story and hear some of his testimony, you'll understand why.
00:03:42.220Because Barry was standing on the front line of this back in 2017 and, you know, fighting for our children when there was very few of us who were standing on the front line.
00:03:53.920So I have much respect for this gentleman.
00:03:55.540And please go in, share this information, and let people know what's going on in the public schools, and why we're working so hard with pastors to open their doors, and why we're counting on churches to open up rooms so that we can get teachers and children into safe spaces.
00:04:15.180And I just want to give a shout-out to all the teachers who have endured working in the schools, and that they are moral and ethical people who are fighting nearly an impossible battle.
00:04:31.100We believe we're going to overturn this and get the SOGI comprehensive sexual education completely removed from the education system, along with all of the pornographic books and the drag queens.
00:04:42.880These sexual performers have no business near our children.
00:05:06.760I am so pleased to welcome Mr. Barry Neufeld for his very first appearance on the Empower Hour.
00:05:14.920Barry is a Chilliwack School Board trustee who has been taking a lot of heat for his stand against the sexualization of our innocent and vulnerable children and youth who are in the public education system.
00:05:27.160He has been targeted and attacked for voicing his very valid concerns about the SOGI 123 program, gender ideology, and the indoctrination of our children as they are exposed to harmful and sexually explicit material.
00:05:43.600As Tanya mentioned, coming up on October 11th, Barry is heading to the Supreme Court of Canada, and we will be providing the link in the chat so you can help with the legal costs associated with this.
00:05:55.640Tonight, we are so excited that we can spotlight this courageous man of valor as he advocates for our children.
00:06:02.980Will you please help me welcome Mr. Barry Neufeld.
00:07:58.960Anyways, when I found out about it, I put this post on Facebook, and then the fun began.
00:08:04.440It was a humorous comparison of how rapidly society had changed over 20 years.
00:08:11.960And the reason for this was that Canada leads the way in transgender studies.
00:08:16.760It was in 2017 of June that Trudeau, our prime minister, added gender identity or expression to the grounds for discrimination in the Human Rights Act.
00:08:26.240This is the first time anywhere in the world where that was done.
00:08:28.960Anyways, I was reelected anyway with the help of some of my friends back in 2018, much to my opponent's upset.
00:08:42.000You know, public health has caved in through the LGBTQ plus pressure.
00:08:47.540Even the pamphlets that they give out to brand new mothers tell them that a child begins to form a gender identity when they're about two or three.
00:08:59.340The public education has caved in to all the LGBTQ pressure.
00:09:04.160And notice that one of the articles in this magazine is, can the religion-sex-ed divide be bridged?
00:09:10.600And, of course, they referred to all the liberal modernist churches who are buying into this.
00:09:16.820Unfortunately, even private Christian schools have been caving in to transgender pressure.
00:09:23.560And recently, we found this poster that was being posted in Surrey Christian Schools, the largest private Christian schools in British Columbia.
00:09:33.760They were approached and persuaded by the ARC Foundation that they had a duty to take care of LGBTQ and students.
00:09:43.860And so they gave in to hang on to their funding.
00:09:50.540I've really been impressed with Abigail Schreier.
00:09:53.360And she says that gender ideology is completely inappropriate in schools.
00:10:03.760It emanates from revolutionary theory and has been incredibly confusing to children.
00:10:10.720Abigail wrote an excellent book, How We Are Damaging Our Daughters.
00:10:18.520When they started teaching this in primary school, they were using the gender-bred person.
00:10:25.100That identity is in the head, attraction is in the heart, and sex is in the organs.
00:10:30.060But the gender ideology has been evolving so fast that they had to come up with a new one, a gender unicorn.
00:10:37.700And they got this new concept of the sex assigned at birth.
00:10:41.460In other words, just because a doctor looks at a baby's crotch and decides what sex it is, that doesn't mean it's actually what it really is.
00:13:45.040But I took it to the B.C. Court of Appeal, where three more experienced judges looked at it.
00:13:50.780And they said, this is a dark day for freedom of speech if a big union boss can shut up a lone trustee.
00:13:58.080So he took it all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada in Ottawa.
00:14:03.460And this is the highest court in the land.
00:14:05.540Once they decide there's no appeal, if they agree with Glenn Hansman that Barry Neufeld, people like Barry Neufeld should not be around children,
00:14:15.780you can see a move across Canada to prevent a lot of people who disagree with gender ideology, keeping them away from children.
00:14:24.720And that'll be pastors, school principals, teachers, even parents.
00:14:31.240The Supreme Court recently appointed a new judge on September the 1st.
00:14:41.100Justice Michelle Bonsowin is the first Aboriginal person to be elected to Canada's high court.
00:14:48.800She has a real interest in mental health, and I'm hoping I can pique her interest in convincing her that there's a real lack of mental health services for disturbed kids.
00:15:00.300And this quick fix idea of giving them pills, puberty blockers and hormones is not going to make them happy.
00:15:06.320Of course, Michelle was chosen by none other than our friend.
00:15:13.760And I just hope that he hasn't persuaded her or the court how they should decide on my case.
00:15:21.260There's the interior of the Supreme Court chambers.
00:15:25.240I don't have to be there, but of course, I want to be there.
00:15:28.580This is an important day in my life, and I'm hoping to be joined by some others.
00:15:33.920Shannon Boshi is a candidate for the Ottawa Carleton School Board.
00:15:45.660And of course, the globe-trotting billboard, Chris, will be joining me.
00:15:51.000You notice that in that picture, which was taken on the steps of the B.C. Supreme Court, he has his arm in a cast.
00:15:57.220He was wearing that sign in Montreal, and a radical came up, picked up a plastic traffic cone, and beat him so hard with it that it broke his arm.
00:16:09.380Luckily, I haven't had to endure any physical harm, but that's what I'm called to do.
00:16:16.440And hopefully, a lot of my friends from Action for Canada will be there as well.
00:16:20.240Oh, Barry, thank you for that amazing presentation.
00:16:22.560I think you've walked through the events very nicely and bringing you towards October 11th, which is a big day for you, but also for Canadians.
00:16:35.920And yes, you can bet that Action for Canada is going to be there in numbers, showing up, supporting you.
00:16:43.760Our Ottawa chapter leaders, Danielle and Mindy, we're going to be sending out a poster tonight or tomorrow night for everybody.
00:17:08.520Is there anything else that you can add to that, Barry?
00:17:11.340No, I'm also in the middle of a campaign to be reelected here in Chilliwack.
00:17:23.480And I just want to announce that we have a full slate of seven family-friendly trustees that are determined to take over control of our local school board and get it back on track.
00:17:37.540We need to focus less on all these woke ideologies and get back to the three R's in academic achievement.
00:17:55.540Just in case people forgot with all the social justice stuff pouring out of the schools and out of their kids' mouths.
00:18:03.060You know, that's not what we were sending them there for.
00:18:05.580But, of course, that's why the government for decades has been trying to make it so difficult for parents, taxing them to death so that both parents had to work just to make ends meet so that they would have control of our kids.
00:18:18.180It's brilliant, but it's nothing new under the sun, and we've got to turn this around and get control back into the hands of parents.
00:18:26.820But we need good people like you in these positions, Barry.
00:18:31.480And I'm super excited to hear that you have a full slate in Chilliwack of like-minded people who understand that this is about supporting the rights of parents and as well protecting children from all this nonsense.
00:18:49.720So, I think what I'd like to do right now is, Terenzo, if anybody has any questions for Barry, would you please raise your hands?
00:18:58.040I know that we have some people who are running as trustees on the call right now.
00:19:03.580And it's really, really difficult out there, Barry, because as you can attest to, the media, of course, is an arm of the government to help their propaganda.
00:19:12.800And one of the things they do is to try to sabotage anybody that doesn't align with the radical left's twisted ideologies.
00:19:22.160And I don't think that's any exaggeration.
00:19:24.440You've experienced a lot of that in Chilliwack, if I'm not mistaken.
00:19:31.480It's been a stress and a strain, but I have not used very many religious arguments against the SOGI123.
00:19:41.560But I will say that my energy and my inspiration comes from my faith in the Lord and my spiritual disciplines.
00:19:49.340I am 100% on board with you there, Barry.
00:19:54.580I don't think anybody could endure, I want to say, endure the cross in the manner that you have.
00:20:00.740This would break a lot of people to have the kind of vile attacks that you've had to endure.
00:20:04.980It's not just a matter that the president at the time, the former president of the teachers union came after you and the head of the minister of education, but it was that your peers as well came after you.
00:20:21.660And they really marred your reputation in the community.
00:20:25.560One other trustee on my board even tried to take me to court and get the judge convinced to fire me.
00:20:37.140But unfortunately, she lost that lawsuit and she now owes me $10,000.
00:21:21.840We have the luxuries, even though taxes were getting, you know, tighter.
00:21:26.620But eventually what happens is they have no limit to the ends of their depravity.
00:21:33.180And so they've pushed so far past what is acceptable in society that the average person can no longer ignore it.
00:21:41.020And they've got to get on board and they've got to use their voice and do something about it.
00:21:44.800And that's what Action for Canada is trying to do.
00:21:46.940And that's why our communities are so important is I've spent the last seven years doing calls to action campaigns, trying to help people like Barry, trying to bring awareness to really bad legislations that were passing in the last seven years that led to COVID.
00:22:06.400It was the shutting down of our freedoms of speech, which is, in essence, what Barry is fighting for, even in this instance.
00:22:14.660And so the communities that we're building is that so automatically I am trying to train people that they don't need Action for Canada commencing these, which is what Barry has had the advantage of.
00:22:26.040We've got an amazing chapter in Chilliwack, and they have just stepped up, they've come to bat, and, you know, they're working in that community to help those who are being attacked.
00:22:48.340And for those that would like to ask a question, if you go down to the bottom of your Zoom and just click raise hand, little virtual hand there, and we will put you in queue.
00:22:56.860I wanted to, I wanted to, first of all, commend my lawyer, Paul Jaffe, who's believed in me and stuck by me.
00:23:04.260His grandfather was a judge in the Weimar Republic and managed to flee Germany just before Hitler took over.
00:23:12.100So he has a real passion for human rights and freedom.
00:23:14.760Of course, my longest colleague is Heather Maas.
00:23:20.580She was the one that first heard about SOGI and invited me to an information meeting.
00:23:26.020And she was joined by Dr. Daryl Ferguson.
00:25:48.240And yeah, you were talking about Paul Jaffe.
00:25:50.020I've had many conversations a few years back with Paul and pretty much at the onset.
00:25:55.900I met him at one of the events that you were at, started a conversation.
00:25:59.400And I remember being on the phone with him a time or two talking about the SOGI agenda and how it had really begun at the United Nations.
00:26:08.560It's very important for us to understand, you know, the global agenda that is here and how they want all their member nations to accept this.
00:26:16.320And this is an unelected body interfering with our Judeo-Christian values as a nation and our rule of law.
00:28:14.900My question is, in Burnaby, we are initiating a campaign to educate parents of elementary schools about the hidden harm that is comiflated by the words,
00:28:32.720inclusiveness, tolerance, and et cetera.
00:28:36.040And what is the sentence, the first sentence or two first sentences that you would ask or tell the parents that you don't know to start the conversation?
00:28:53.220Well, diversity, inclusion, and equity, the letters spell out, die.
00:29:01.860When they brought this program in, they said that SOGI would increase the inclusion of kids with different backgrounds, different sexualities, different gender identities.
00:29:17.120And if they felt more included, they would do better in school and their marks would go up.
00:29:21.320And they would be happier and more content.
00:29:25.140Well, the exact opposite has happened.
00:29:26.900In the last five years, the mental health problems and the depression among school-aged children has skyrocketed.
00:29:39.260Our achievement scores have gone down.
00:29:42.520And it has done exactly the opposite of what they promised this would do for public education.
00:29:48.320So diversity, inclusion, and equity means die.
00:29:55.960That's a very interesting way of putting it, Barry.
00:29:58.860We can see it crushing the spirits of our kids and their minds.
00:30:04.940We're putting them in what would have been trusted facilities.
00:30:08.540And instead, you know, these people are ravaging the minds of our kids.
00:30:12.860And it was really evident, if you read the reports on that trans teacher in Ontario, that multiple kids had said they're very uncomfortable with this.
00:30:23.020They recognize that it's not normal, but they felt that nothing could be done about it.
00:32:06.040But I think that what Sharon's brought up is a very good point.
00:32:09.320You need to know that there's hundreds of millions, billions of dollars going into this agenda.
00:32:15.680This is another money-making business that helps with depopulating the world by sterilizing kids and causing them not to be interested in the opposite sex, to get married and procreate properly as God has intended us.
00:32:27.740But also, the pharmaceuticals are making a huge amount of money by getting kids hooked on, you know, all of the hormones and the drugs.
00:32:37.160Most of those become lifetime customers.
00:33:30.360It's a very good thing for people to talk about.
00:33:32.160And as I've said multiple times, is that even if you don't have kids in school, you need to be really outraged about this because those are your tax dollars that are paying for all of these programs within your municipality.
00:33:44.420You should be knocking on the door of the mayor and city council, and you should be demanding change.
00:33:49.580You should be looking to overturn these school boards.
00:33:52.480This is, they have to take an oath to responsibly use the money that the taxpayers are giving them.
00:33:59.140And these social agendas are not included in that.
00:34:01.980Okay, this is about making sure our kids are educated and ready for the future, and it's very evident that they're coming out of school and not ready.
00:34:09.920Okay, so I see Vanessa's asked a question.
00:34:12.020It goes, what is the best way to speak to people at their door as we campaign for a conservative school trustee?
00:34:19.460Do we bring up these controversial topics at the door or keep it simple?
00:34:39.420And we have to be willing to lay out the ugly truth that, you know, there's a terrible thing that's happening to our public education system and our society in general.
00:34:52.120Like I pointed out, it's in public health nurses.
00:35:43.100And, you know, that's what we're doing tonight, isn't it, is we're no longer tiptoeing around the boundaries that they feel that they've put in place rightfully.
00:35:53.460When they amended the Human Rights Code to include gender expression and gender identity as a protected group, you know, what that was in violation of.
00:36:03.920And it was not necessary because we were already considered all equal under the law.
00:36:09.720There was absolutely no reason that they changed and amended the human rights except for to be able to push this agenda.
00:36:17.960And but the problem is, is that can't trump the criminal code.
00:36:22.540So if they're in violation, if they're sexualizing children, if they're grooming children, we need to start calling it what it is and get this removed from the schools.
00:36:30.920And so, Vanessa, what I would say is that if it were me going door to door, I would have some sort of flyer with me.
00:36:38.800I would have some of the images that show the pornographic books that are available to kindergarten to grade 12.
00:36:46.320And I would just start asking questions, saying, you know, hi, I'm here representing name the candidate that you're representing or candidates and saying, you know, we're very concerned about the direction that the education system is gone.
00:36:58.840Are you aware? And then start making them aware.
00:37:01.700Are you aware that there's pornographic books available to children and that they're trying to normalize this and that they've got a resource called either the comprehensive sexual education,
00:37:12.960depending on what province you're in or the SOGI resource that is actually grooming children.
00:37:17.840And it's proving to do that. And a lot of kids are being harmed.
00:37:21.160Start a conversation. See where you can go.
00:37:24.240And that was that's just a suggestion to myself.
00:37:27.380Sheila has provided a flyer in the chat that we've created to try to bring attention to this.
00:37:32.720And we hope that you'll print that and use that to help you out.
00:37:35.720OK, so, Trenzio, do you have another question?
00:37:37.960We do. Next question is from Weislauwa.
00:37:42.380And I'm sorry, we cannot promote we cannot bring Weislauwa up.
00:37:48.180Unfortunately, we cannot do that because of the Zoom.
00:37:50.520So we will have to go to the next question.
00:38:03.320I think you touched on it, Tanya, but, you know, I have to keep on asking myself why this is this is part of the new agenda, the woke population, probably, you know, new world order.
00:38:34.020And throughout society, evil has always tried to advance itself.
00:38:38.840And as I was saying earlier, good people were working, putting their kids through school.
00:38:44.220And, you know, they were going about their life not realizing what had entered the school system.
00:38:50.400And the evil is always working to put an agenda forward.
00:38:55.520And they were very busy doing that around the clock.
00:38:57.660It's a very, very small percentage of the population that implemented this by advocating and lobbying the government relentlessly.
00:39:07.040As Barry, was it Barry that had said in his presentation that the Surrey Christian School had been lobbied by the ARC Foundation, that's A-R-C Foundation, in order to try to have them become sympathetic towards the LGBTQ.
00:39:22.040So by, yeah, so that would be my answer.
00:39:47.360And Lindsay claims that the sexualization in schools is part, is all the signs of religious cult.
00:39:56.400And the purpose is to turn kids against their parents.
00:39:59.680Even if a kid is not persuaded to become, come out as gay or transgender, they turn against their parents because they think that their parents are old-fashioned and out of touch.
00:40:10.660And by turning this generation of children against their parents, they've got an army of revolutionaries that can bring in this soft cultural Marxism and completely change society.
00:40:22.700They want to get rid of all old institutions, all courts, police, churches, schools.
00:56:39.600And in the very near future, I'm also, I've got 90% of it done.
00:56:44.680There is a town councillor in Newfoundland who has been so berated by the mayor and town council, smeared his reputation to the point where a bullet shot went through his living room window while his wife and three children were sleeping.
00:57:02.740And the mayor and council are considering his seat vacant because they have not permitted him to speak.
00:57:16.420They can't just arbitrarily remove him because he doesn't align with their warped and twisted thinking and belief in COVID.
00:57:24.000And so this is a gentleman as well who's going to be, who's got lawyers.
00:57:27.860He's going to proceed with courts, court challenges, and we're going to need to support him as well.
00:57:33.500So that's what Action for Canada does.
00:57:35.440We bring awareness and we're going to ask you to support these very important cases that will have a tremendous effect for the rest of Canadians and individuals in this situation and clear the path for others.
00:58:19.040You're going to need to start reaching out, you know, personally to these individuals and start asking them questions.
00:58:25.000But let's, Barry, if you have an answer, I'm just looking for the link that I received today.
00:58:31.500I'm going to post this because I believe that it will be important for anybody living in BC anyways to be able to find this list of candidates.
01:02:31.900The Empower Hour will be available on the Empower Hour page by tomorrow.
01:02:36.620We are just posting the guests from now on when we upload the Empower Hour in our conversation.
01:02:42.920And the review that I do in advance is going to be posted separately.
01:02:47.720That way, our weekly reviews can be posted on social media.
01:02:52.000There may be information in there that you wanted to share with a friend that you didn't want to include with, you know, the whole interview as well.
01:02:59.220So I just, again, just want to give a big shout out to everybody who attended.
01:03:56.540Ask friends and family, you know, to commit some of their time every week to the hardworking people that are trying to represent you.
01:04:03.180Patrick Moore, one of the co-founders of Greenpeace, he led Greenpeace because he never aligned with their values and ideas anymore on climate change
01:04:13.200and the destruction of our world economy based on this pseudoscience.
01:04:19.040So we are very thrilled to have Patrick Moore come and spend some time with us next week on the Empower Hour.
01:04:26.040So please make sure that you'll share that Empower Hour invite.
01:04:30.480I'm working on it right now and should have it hopefully available on the webpage maybe by Friday.
01:04:36.440But as always, our actions go out on Sunday night, and we always provide that extra information
01:04:42.620to help educate you further on the specific, this will be specific to the climate fraud.
