00:30:56that's me, founder and chairman of the Dominion Society,
00:30:58he called it a shocking example of collective delusion and said he would not disclose any
00:31:04details about the event's location these people really don't understand why i don't want to tell
00:31:07them where the event is despite the mayor of hamilton actively launching a campaign to try
00:31:13and cancel our event it's ridiculous of course i'm not going to tell you where it is i'm not an0.94
00:31:18idiot like come on guys collective delusion it's exactly what it is the spectator previously quoted0.96
00:31:27tyree rejecting dominion society's ties of extreme white nationalism calling them baseless early0.99
00:31:32reporting on domcon had tyree arguing his group represents law-abiding canadians facing political
00:31:37discrimination this is not a claim right we're literally facing political discrimination the
00:31:44mayor of hamilton is trying to cancel our event not because we've committed any crimes we have
00:31:50not been accused or charged of any hate crimes any violent crimes anything like this we are a
00:31:57We are an organization that organizes Canadian nationalists in order to advance our vision for
00:32:02the future through civic engagement and community building and media content. What's radical here?
00:32:08What's so unacceptable here? I really don't understand. This is political discrimination.
00:32:12They want to stop this event from happening because we believe in a political concept,
00:32:17remigration. I'm not rounding up people. I'm not attacking people based on their skin color.
00:32:22I'm saying here is a political platform that we would like to advance peacefully through this
00:32:27through the political process and their response is we must put all of our resources into canceling
00:32:33this event it's political discrimination this isn't a claim it's an objective truth
00:32:36asked why Selner was invited to speak at DomCon Tyree referred to him as one of the words the
00:32:42world's foremost remigration activists I can't think of a more important speaker for our inaugural
00:32:48conference. It's true. It's true. He literally wrote the book on re-migration. Who should we1.00
00:32:53invite if not him? While the definition of re-migration can vary, Al Jazeera, why are we
00:32:58quoting Al Jazeera in a Canadian paper, has written in the context of far-right movement
00:33:02is a method of ethnic cleansing. The Dominion Society describes re-migration as using robust
00:33:07public policy tools to reverse the course of mass immigration. At least they included our1.00
00:33:10definition, right? With the conference roughly three weeks away, Hamilton police said in a
00:33:15statement that they understand the promotion of this event may cause fear, anger, and uncertainty
00:33:20for members of the community, particularly those who feel targeted by hateful or extremist rhetoric.
00:33:24Police added, no one should feel unsafe or unwelcome in Hamilton because of their identity,
00:33:28faith, background, or beliefs, except if your beliefs are that Canadians are illegitimate
00:33:35people and we deserve to have control over our country and demographic security in our own
00:33:40homelands. If those are your beliefs, if those are your beliefs, then the media, the local media,
00:33:47the local mayor will do everything in their power to shut down your event. If those are your beliefs,
00:33:53you're not welcome here in Hamilton. These people don't see the incredible irony behind everything
00:33:59they say. And average Canadians, when they read this, they can notice this clear hypocrisy.0.81
00:34:05it's disgusting it's disgusting Tyree said security would be handled privately and internally0.80
00:34:11for the event and added that organizers are speaking are taking serious precautions to
00:34:15protect Advandi's safety and anonymity he noted police would be contacted in the event of violence
00:34:20and unlawful activity stemming from the conference I like how they say unlawful activity stemming
00:34:26from the conference as if as if it could be either side right that there could be violence
00:34:31caused by the conference no that is not what i said in fact in fact let me let me uh read this
00:34:41uh this is not the right um this is not the right what's this guy's name
00:34:47do you guys hear my dog itching himself he has he has allergies and i need to get
00:34:56of allergy medication so he's an itchy boy tonight um i i specifically said i would like
00:35:03to highlight the disturbing reality implicitly recognized in your question that left-wing
00:35:08political violence has become so common in canada that it is considered expected let me be clear
00:35:14the dominion society is a federally registered non-profit that advances the political outlook
00:35:20through peaceful lawful civic engagement this event is an opportunity for canadians across the
00:35:24country. In response to this, activists in collaboration with the complicit media aimed
00:35:31to dehumanize Canadian nationalists to stifle free speech, deter political participation and
00:35:37encourage violence against us. This is incredibly irresponsible in an age where left-wing political
00:35:43terrorism is on the rise in Canada. And he just kind of paraphrases this to be like, oh, there
00:35:49could be some violence stemming from the event as if it could be both sides. Let me say, let me be
00:35:54clear, I guarantee there will be no violence on the side of Dominion Society supporters.
00:35:59Any violence or unlawful activity is going to be on the side of the activists, the unhinged
00:36:06radical activists that are being emboldened and given coverage by the mayor of Hamilton and
00:36:12the Hamilton Spectator amongst other mainstream news outlets who do aim to actively undermine our
00:36:18by dehumanizing us and giving permission to these people to attack us that's why they call it we'll
00:36:24get into it later but that's why they imply that we're the kkk that's why they imply that we're
00:36:29nazis because they want to give license to people to disrupt our event and uh intimidate and
00:36:36terrorize our participants to start to to to try and minimize the success and the attendance of
00:36:43event it's disgusting and then at the same time they try and make it like it's both sides
00:36:48asked about the likelihood of selner being denied entry to the country
00:36:55canadian border services told the spectator that all travelers must appeal before the cbsa for
00:37:00examination upon arrival regardless of whether they attain travel documents such as electronic
00:37:05travel authorizations there are a number of reasons why an individual could be found inadmissible
00:37:10under the Immigration and Refugees Protection Act, blah, blah, blah. The rest of this is boring.
00:37:17So that's the first piece. That's the first piece. And then we got two in the CBC, guys.
00:37:22Hamilton Mayor asked businesses to be aware of anti-immigration group planning a conference in
00:37:28the area. Hamilton Mayor has sent letters to local businesses asking them to be aware of an
00:37:32anti-immigration group advertising conference in the area. It is important for local venues to have
00:37:37clear information about the organization and the purpose of the event when considering whether to
00:37:41host them. We already have a venue, Andrea. She says she's proud to lead a diverse city, noting
00:37:47that the Dominion Society, which is promoting an August event called DomCon 26, advocates for
00:37:53remigration or deporting immigrants back to their home countries. Normalization, W, thank you. You0.99
00:38:01just introduced remigration and gave a very clear, fair definition. Thank you, CBC. While people are
00:38:09free to express their views, our community must also be clear about the values we stand for and
00:38:15are proud of inclusion, respect, and ensuring that everyone feels belonging in Hamilton.
00:38:20On August 4th, several Hamilton groups, including Hamilton Anti-Racism Resource Center and Hamilton
00:38:26Center for Civic Inclusion, signed an open letter urging businesses and institutions not to rent
00:38:30space to the minion society they called on elected officials to denounce the group asked leaders to
00:38:35commit their uh their policies and statements to will not contribute to scapegoating of immigrants
00:38:40or racialized communities that is on the rise in hamilton as a part of this effort hark also
00:38:46published a guide with tips to help venues avoid unwittingly renting groups to groups it says
00:38:51promotes hate in an interview with cbc hamilton hark director lyndon george pointed to the recent
00:38:56instances of which rcmp identified extremist group didagalon and second sons whose leaders
00:39:01welcome open neo-nazis to their ring secured in a space at community halls and gyms those
00:39:06spaces owners its owners said they were unaware of groups true intentions all they have is guilt
00:39:11by association stuff they always try to relate relate us to outside groups you'll see this in
00:39:15all the articles we're our own organization you can't you can't pin these things on us so they
00:39:19try and imply them the website for the dominion society a self-proclaimed nationalist group
00:39:25espouses great replacement conspiracy theory which suggests that people are being replaced
00:39:30by racialized people yeah that white people are being replaced by racialized people
00:39:35have you guys seen the demographics graph this isn't exactly a controversial take
00:39:40canada is not getting more diverse it's getting more indian the site says mass immigration is
00:39:45creating chaos this is a huge i'm so proud of this guys we haven't even had the event yet1.00
00:39:50but we got cbc to published canada is getting more indian and this is just objectively true
00:39:56it's not a hateful bigoted statement indians dominate every single immigration scheme
00:40:01asylum claims uh international mobility program temporary foreign workers permanent residents
00:40:06international students illegals every single stream of immigration is completely dominated by
00:40:12indians this is just the daily experience of everyone in canada everywhere you go every
00:40:18domino's pizza shop every every gas station every subway is run by indians it's incredible
00:40:25how fast our country is transforming into india and honestly it's not hateful it's not bigoted
00:40:32to point it out and say you know i kind of want canada to remain canadian i don't need a bunch
00:40:38of people gaming our system taking advantage of our our social uh social systems taking advantage
00:40:45of our wealth sending wealth back out of our country back to india like we don't need this
00:40:51we don't need this so thanks cbc thanks for raising awareness thanks for raising awareness
00:40:56thanks for helping us say the quiet part out loud dominion society also promotes an agenda that
00:41:00includes the mass deportation of people including temporary foreign workers permanent residents and
00:41:05people in born in canada non-canadian citizens all true all true on friday barbara perry who
00:41:11directs the center of hate, bias, and extremism at Ontario Tech University told CBC that the
00:41:16Dominion Society arguments are inherently racist and xenophobic because they lay the country's
00:41:22problems at the feet of immigrants. A lot of problems are because of immigrants. Orva's letter0.69
00:41:26notes that the Canadian anti-hate networks has identified the Dominion Society as part of a
00:41:30growing white nationalist movement here in Canada. Dominion Society previously told CBC
00:41:34Hannibalton, it's not a hate group, but rather an advocacy group that promotes and preserves
00:41:38Canadian heritage and identity with a focus on immigration reform. That is what we are.
00:41:43In an email on August 5th, a spokesperson said the group is keeping the location of DomCon
00:41:48secrets so that its members aren't targeted by people who disagree with them. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:41:53By violence, Horwath said she isn't asking venues to act outside of their policies,
00:42:00but thinks they should know that the Dominion Society's stated mandate and the nature of the
00:42:05event when considering any booking connecting to the organization all the concern trolling and
00:42:10in in long housing it's so toxic unclear how many businesses got the mayor's letter i like this
00:42:17when asked horwath's office did not say how many businesses she sent the letter to i wrote to local
00:42:23venues that may be in a position to host the advertised event she said in an emailed statement
00:42:28on august 10th she added the city will not be renting or making city facilities available to
00:42:33organization and bylaw staff are monitoring materials related to the event on public property
00:42:38pring guest house a small downtown hostel is one of the small downtown hospital is one of the
00:42:47businesses that received the mayor's warning on august 7th the business posted on instagram over
00:42:52the weekend saying we are glad the city is taking this threat seriously enough to notify local0.98
00:42:57businesses pring said it is immigrant and queer owned and that the dominion society will never be0.60
00:43:03welcome in its space we welcome the world to hamilton we believe in diversity and inclusion
00:43:08did you get that guys we're not hosting the event at gay immigrant motel we're not hosting dom con0.62
00:43:16at a small hostel in downtown in downtown hamilton we're not welcome guys we're not welcome0.99
00:43:25um the the people that welcome anyone they welcome the whole world were not welcome0.57
00:43:29at gay immigrant motel um how will i ever recover how will i ever recover pring said uh hamilton
00:43:38police say they're developing a plan to respond to any risk disruption or criminal activity
00:43:43associated with dom con 26 police understand that the promotion of this event may cause fear
00:43:48anger and uncertainty as the same quote from the other article she added that the service is
00:43:53listening to community concerns and will maintain a visible appropriate presence taking enforcement
00:43:57actions where lawful grounds exist people encourage anyone to experience who experiences
00:44:03threats harassment and hate motivated behavior to report it should i start reporting things to the
00:44:09to the hamilton police you you guys think i've received multiple threats over the last few days
00:44:14uh in reaction to this reporting multiple threats this is exactly what the cbc does what do they
00:44:21expect. They're trying to dehumanize us. They're trying to give space for these people to assault
00:44:25us, to intimidate us. And yes, I believe I received a lot more threats this week. The
00:44:31Dominion Society received a lot more threats this week than anyone in Hamilton did because our0.81
00:44:36supporters aren't crazy, racist, hateful people. They're people that love their country, their
00:44:43history, their families, and want to pass on the country they were born into to their children and
00:44:50grandchildren. We're not out here just like sending hateful emails and threats to random
00:44:57people in Hamilton. Again, we're not here to see you. We're here to see each other and have a good
00:45:04time. So yeah, maybe I'll start cataloging all this stuff and send them a nice big file. Here's
00:45:11all the hateful people in Hamilton, if you're actually curious. CBC and the Hamilton Police
00:45:23Service. But this was the big one, guys. This is the one from the Canadian press. Anti-immigration
00:45:27speaker banned from the UK, still planning to attend conference in Hamilton. And this is our
00:45:32friend, Martin Sellner. I love the juxtaposition, the beautiful juxtaposition. You've got the old,
00:45:37fat andrea horvath beside the the handsome young nationalist the juxtaposition speaks world a
00:45:45picture says a thousand a thousand words right guys an austrian man who has been permanently
00:45:50banned from the kingdom for promoting extremist narratives said that this week he hopes canada
00:45:54won't deny him entry ahead of a conference he's set to speak at in hamilton this month martin is
00:46:00being marketed as a keynote speaker for august 29th conference for of the dominion society which
00:46:05advocates for remigration, the mass deportation of immigrants. Sellner was permanently banned
00:46:10in 2019 from entering the UK on security grounds. A UK government letter, which was publicized by
00:46:15Sellner's organization, said he posed a serious threat to the country's efforts to counter
00:46:21extremism, according to a report in The Guardian. Sellner's US travel permit was also cancelled in
00:46:272019 after it emerged that the gunman behind the Christchurch mosque shooting in New Zealand
00:46:32donated 1,500 euros. The Christchurch shooter was convicted of killing 51 people and attempted to
00:46:37murder 40 more in March 2019 terrorist attack. Again, all the guilt by association is all they
00:46:44ever have. German authorities gave Selner a three-year entry ban in 2024 after a meeting
00:46:51of nationalists triggered large protests. And a reminder, they say a meeting of nationalists,
00:46:56but this is when Martin traveled to Germany to meet with AFD officials, the biggest political
00:47:01party in germany to give them a speech on remigration not just a random group of nationalists
00:47:07right like to meet with one of the most powerful political organizations in the country but they
00:47:13just kind of minimize that they forget those details citing privacy laws canadian government
00:47:18officials won't say if selner will be admitted to canada spokesman for immigration minister lena
00:47:23diav's office said in an email that anyone coming to canada must meet admissibility requirements
00:47:29set out by the Immigration and Refugees Protection Act. For criteria which Martin obviously meets,
00:47:36by the way, people may be deemed inadmissible to Canada for any of a number of reasons,
00:47:42including espionage, taking part in a group involved in violence or terrorism, or being a
00:47:47member of an organized crime group, none of which Martin is. He's not a spy, he's not a terrorist,
00:47:53and he has never committed a crime in his life despite multiple attempts from an establishment
00:47:58persecuting dissidents. None of these are relevant. He's clearly admissible. On Tuesday,
00:48:05Selner replied to an ex-post from the Dominion Society promoting his appearance at the conference
00:48:09saying, I hope they let me in. Emil Joseph, a Hamilton-based anti-racism scholar, said that if
00:48:15other countries have restricted Selner's access, Canada should consider doing the same. If he wants
00:48:20to talk, he can do so. He can do it online. He can do it elsewhere. He doesn't need to physically
00:48:24come to Hamilton to a place that already has a growing white nationalist problem. Mayor warns
00:48:29venues about the conference. Hamilton Mayor Andrea Horvath said in a statement, she's been
00:48:35contacting venue owners in the area to tell them what the Dominion Society stands for, so they can
00:48:40make booking decisions with the full context. The Dominion Society's own website identifies
00:48:45remigration as a central objective of the movement and the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, who identified
00:48:51the organization as part of Canada's broader white nationalist movement, Horwath said.
00:48:55People, while people are free to express their views, I have always been clear that there is
00:48:59no place for hate, racism or discrimination in Hamilton. The mayor added that the city of
00:49:04Hamilton will not rent any space to the Dominion Society. The group's website describes re-migration
00:49:08as the return of foreigners to their respective homelands and advocates for a 10-year immigration
00:49:13moratorium, stripping people of permanent residency and deporting five to nine million people. Thank
00:49:18you thank you canadian press help spread the word remigration now five to nine million people
00:49:26deported how many people are reading this being like that's a good point we should check out
00:49:30dominion society that's exactly 10 year moratorium five to nine people five to nine million people
00:49:36out it's a good point the group says that the only path forward to address challenges in canada like
00:49:42the high cost of housing and the tough labor market is remigration the dominion society puts
00:49:46a specific focus on indian and the indian population in canada that look if the mainstream
00:49:52media you know they they try and call me a nazi they try and call me david duke all these things
00:49:56if they want to make me the anti-indian guy i'll live with that i'll live with that uh if they
00:50:02haven't woken up to to the to the to the terrible impacts that indian migration has had on canada
00:50:08over the last decade that's on them but more and more canadians are getting tired with the impacts0.89
00:50:14They experience it in their everyday lives, whether it be going to the gym, and it's overcrowded by stinky, disrespectful people carrying knives, or they go to get sub quality service by contractors, as Matt was telling me earlier today, where everyone's constantly, it's right in your face, the impacts of Indian migration.1.00
00:50:40and it's not just because like Indians are so awful but it is because the massive numbers that1.00
00:50:45are coming on an annual basis just from India because they're gaming every single immigration1.00
00:50:49stream as I was explaining earlier. Daniel Tyree Dominion Society chair said in an email response
00:50:57that his group's legal team can't see why Sellner would be deemed inadmissible and argued any
00:51:02attempt to stop him from coming to Canada would be a blatant act of political persecution and
00:51:06that's exactly what it will be because he's not a criminal he's never violated the law they've
00:51:12tried to he's been accused many times it's never stuck because he's not a criminal he's not a
00:51:18terrorist he doesn't fall under any of the inadmissibility criteria set forth by the urpa
00:51:24when if they try and keep him out they're going to say something like they have in the case of
00:51:31the uk or the us that he's going to foster an environment of violence or something like that
00:51:35completely basis accusations to try and keep them out because they want to uphold a dysfunctional
00:51:41status quo. And they don't want effective activists like Martin coming here and bursting
00:51:46the bubble on the kind of Laurentian consensus, the immigration consensus that is destroying
00:51:53Canada. It's completely political, any decision that they have. And you got to love when they
00:51:58actually post the quotes. He added that Horwath's comments are inappropriate and unbecoming of her0.98
00:52:04office. Canadians, even those you might disagree with, have a right to peacefully assemble and
00:52:10discuss their vision for the future, Tyree said in an email Wednesday. Her comments feed a toxic
00:52:14environment of political polarization and encourage unhinged activists to engage in violence and acts
00:52:19of terrorism. She should retract them and apologize. What is she going to do? What is
00:52:26she going to do if someone's attacked by an unhinged activist on the 29th? Like that's1.00
00:52:31completely on Andrea Horvath. Is she going to step down from her office for engaging in this0.98
00:52:37unbecoming misuse of her office? No, she'll probably ignore it or worse, celebrate it.0.96
00:52:45Her comment, Joseph said that the city has faced challenges with white nationalist groups
00:52:49organizing the area, including Sons of Odin and Nationalist 13. Joseph said, while the Dominion
00:52:55Society and people like Selner may share ideas, many ideas with these other groups, they try and
00:53:00communicate them in a way that fits the mainstream political discourse. He said the same strategy was
00:53:06used by a former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard, David Duke, who later became a Louisiana state
00:53:12representative in 1989. Duke's conspiracy theories about Jews, Holocaust denial, and his racist ideas
00:53:18were taken to a platform where he tried to table them in a kind of laundered way. And I feel like
00:53:23the Dominion Society is an organization that's attempting to use the same tactics. Anyone that
00:53:29has to say, I feel like this. I feel, I don't have any evidence. I just feel like this should
00:53:34not be taken seriously. You shouldn't be given a platform like this. It's absolutely absurd.
00:53:39And again, they only have these guilt by association kind of tactics. Well, they don't
00:53:44say anything wrong. It's just laundered. They probably have more nefarious ideas. They're
00:53:49just not telling you. It's all just laundered. What do you mean? I have a very specific platform
00:53:55that I work day in and day out to advance.
00:53:58It's very clear exactly what we stand for.
01:11:17Yeah, I was 13. I was in middle school and I just, I couldn't care less. But of course,
01:11:22I went with the mainstream talking points because I heard it on the TV. I heard it from my friends.
01:11:27I heard it from pretty much everybody. And I figured that it was an authority to trust. And
01:11:31And as time went on, I started to realize that that was wrong and I should learn for myself and really educate myself on the realities of what's going on in politics.
01:11:39It's very important. And as time went on, I went through school, high school, university, post-secondary in my in my now work career.
01:11:47And I've noticed the changes in my in my life, in my day to day life. I live in Toronto.
01:11:52I've had a stint living in Brampton. I've lived in Ottawa and I've seen the worst of the worst.
01:11:58It's really changed the society that I grew up in.
01:12:02And something that I like to make very clear is that the change that we're seeing that
01:12:07I'm pointing out is not the fact that I'm pointing out something that I hate.
01:12:10It's pointing out that something that I love is now missing.
01:12:13Something that I love, that we all love and share our unique Canadian culture and identity
01:12:18and our history is slowly being taken away from us over time.
01:12:21I mean, it's gotten even faster in the recent years.
01:12:24but through this and through this realization of what's been happening to our nation is where I
01:12:30really started to get active and involved with politics and metapolitics oh yeah excellent and
01:12:37have you ever been involved in any sort of organization like this have you done you've
01:12:40been involved in any political party or did you is the is the Dominion Society the first uh jump
01:12:45into into politics uh for you this would be the uh the first official jump in yeah yeah yeah so
01:12:52so we're attracting a very new crowd young confident people looking to make a difference
