00:00:00.000 They've raised up their false gods.
00:00:01.800 I want to see those dismantled.
00:00:03.120 Those don't belong.
00:00:03.740 It's offensive to me to see these 60-foot monkey gods in a Christian nation where our 1.00
00:00:08.720 Bible says, you shall have no other idols before us.
00:00:11.560 Those need to be torn down.
00:00:13.120 And so that's what I mean.
00:00:14.020 There are ways that we would say, you want to ride a motorbike and you have a turban? 1.00
00:00:18.560 Sorry, you can't ride a motorbike.
00:00:20.380 Canadians aren't going to be on the hook for your medical bills.
00:00:23.620 That's the law here.
00:00:24.960 And quit accommodating these people.
00:00:27.220 Simple.
00:00:28.280 You're right about that, Tanya.
00:00:29.620 The accommodation.
00:00:30.840 And I want people to remember that all that started for the police because we saw, you
00:00:36.580 know, a policeman from Surrey with a turban.
00:00:39.360 And, you know, I want people to understand that started in 1986 when Brian Roney was the
00:00:47.880 prime minister of Canada, a conservative prime minister.
00:00:51.120 And I remember because my dad at that time was a conservative MP from Quebec.
00:00:56.700 And they had that discussion in the caucus, in the conservative caucus at that time, because
00:01:02.460 Brian Roney wanted to accommodate the Sikh community and allow the RCMP to wear a turban.
00:01:11.320 People, and you know, the RCMP, it's our heritage.
00:01:14.840 It's our history.
00:01:16.140 And didn't have any turban at that time.
00:01:18.380 But Brian Roney said yes to that.
00:01:21.380 And I remember my dad was an MP and he was so mad because, you know, that was the beginning.
00:01:27.260 And now a little accommodation by little accommodation.
00:01:30.380 You have what you have right now.
00:01:32.340 They don't integrate.
00:01:33.720 And they don't care about us.
00:01:35.440 They're, you know, laughing at us.
00:01:37.080 And we need to stop that.
