00:02:43.640ahead of us tonight i want to talk a bit about a do a little bit of a debrief of our big action
00:02:50.800from the weekend uh talk a bit about our victoria day rally there in hamilton i hope you did you
00:02:57.220guys see about that? Did you guys see anything about that this weekend? What did you guys think
00:03:00.780of that? I thought it was a pretty interesting development, a fun time. I also want to talk a
00:03:07.100bit about some important news this week that I don't think is getting enough attention. We're
00:03:12.760going to give a little bit of a eulogy for our friends over at the Canadian Anti-Hate Network.0.97
00:03:18.480Ding dong, the witch is dead. And then we'll have our normal little chat sesh. I answer some
00:03:25.700questions close the show with the rant as usual uh but but before we get into anything i do want
00:03:32.340i do want to plug the new merch the new merch we talked for so long when's the merch coming out
00:03:37.060when's the merch coming up well the merch is out guys the merch is out we got the new custom long

00:03:57.460new hat uh you can rep you can rep the dominion society you can rip rep the live stream all in one
00:04:03.460long live canada i feel like people people to be honest to be honest the long live canada hat has
00:04:10.740not been the most popular item in the store so far it's still it's lagging behind the classic ds
00:04:17.380crest hat. But I feel like this is really a special item. I feel like people don't understand
00:04:24.060what we're going for when we say long live Canada. This has become a bit of a catchphrase
00:04:29.200for me. It's at the ends of all my videos, right from the launch video. And you have to keep in
00:04:35.300mind, when we say long live Canada, we're not talking about the state, right? We're talking
00:04:39.760about the nation. This is about the persistence of the Canadian people within our homelands,
00:04:46.100not just the the vague economic zone or whatnot that's what we're saying when we say long live
00:04:51.460canada we're saying long live the canadian people so it's a great piece of merch right you don't have
00:04:57.300to rep the organization so directly you can wear this out in public there's no branding no branding
00:05:02.500it's just long live canada who can argue with that so make sure you head over to the website
00:05:08.420there shop.dominionsociety.ca pick up your merch before we run out but with that out of the way
00:05:15.300yeah yeah yeah we we change we're tweaking the the setup guys uh we're tweaking the setup i'm
00:05:20.900learning as i go people are saying your camera's too close your camera's too far your camera blah
00:05:25.380blah blah so we're shifting things around a little bit maybe get a little bit more personal it's you
00:05:31.780and me it's just you and me at the at the table together uh shifting things around a little bit
00:05:38.260it so i'm still a little bit sick i'm not gonna lie guys i was i was sick last week when we did
00:05:45.520this stream and then i went off gallivanting around uh the toronto and hamilton and so on
00:05:51.480did all that yelling and speaking and i'm i need to i need to preserve my voice but but we're here
00:05:57.700we're here to chat for a little while an hour or two hours let's see how long it goes uh so do do
00:06:04.500do uh uh excuse my my coughs and hacks i'm just trying to get through it um excellent excellent
00:06:14.120so so with that out of the way i do want to jump in to the to the main the main topic for today
00:06:20.540and that's and that's as i put it in the title creating a spectacle uh i want to talk a bit
00:06:25.740about our big rally from this weekend so i had told you about this guys i told you i gave you
00:06:30.840advanced warning i said we were we were getting up to something in hamilton i had been talking
00:06:35.880telling you guys about it for for weeks we now have you know over the last two weeks we've
00:06:41.080organized two big events we had one more quietly here in ottawa we packed a room 60 plus people
00:06:47.800squeezed into a to a small space more of a networking quiet little elitist gathering
00:06:54.660this weekend we did a bit of a different thing here uh in hamilton ontario where we did a more
00:07:00.580a demonstration regarding the tearing down of our statues, the rewriting of our history,
00:07:06.180the erasure of Canada's greatest man, our founder, Sir John A. Macdonald. So I'm sure
00:07:12.600most of you saw this. We've been getting some coverage. Our friends here in Juno News
00:07:20.020covered our rally. We had this, not to blow my own horn, but a pretty iconic photo there of the rally.
00:07:30.580We had about 100 people gathered in Hamilton, Ontario for this little flash mob style protest.
00:07:40.000And then afterwards, we all we all we we had a big party, a big party to celebrate Victoria Day, fireworks, barbecue.
00:07:47.740Most of the people that attended the valley, some even more at the barbecue afterwards.
00:07:51.660it was a great weekend it was a great chance to meet with so many of our members from across
00:07:57.980uh the hamilton area and the surrounding area as well a lot of a lot of live stream viewers there
00:08:03.980there i got i got the the the pleasure of meeting mr jason kenny he says it was a i'm sorry mr
00:08:09.720aiden kenny i'm sorry about that not jason kenny he didn't come to the rally for some reason i'm
00:08:15.400not sure why we had aiden kenny there they uh it was such a good protest they even thought through
00:08:20.700the pre-meat was the real thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we carefully coordinate these things.
00:08:27.280They have multiple different components. We try and keep some details secret, some details low
00:08:32.440key. We need to make sure everything goes smoothly because we need to understand
00:08:37.740the purpose behind these rallies, these protests. We get a lot of questions all the time. When are
00:08:45.460you going to have these big nationwide protests? When are you going to have these? They see the
00:08:50.440things going on. They unite the kingdom rallies. They see things going on in other countries. They
00:08:54.500want to bring that here. We have to keep in mind that Canada has a bit of a unique situation. We
00:08:58.440have such a sparse population spread out across such a large landmass that these massive national
00:09:05.640events are not really viable, financially viable, time-wise viable. So we have to take a bit of a
00:09:11.700different approach in Canada, do things a little bit more surgically, a little bit more regionally.
00:09:16.540And this is just the start of a much bigger shift in our organization as we start to hammer things down.
00:09:26.060So we have to consider the purpose of these events because the whole kind of protest circuit in Canada kind of went off the rails throughout the kind of COVID years.
00:09:37.300You started seeing these COVID hangover type rallies, these freedom rallies that don't have a real clear purpose, a real clear sentiment behind them.
00:09:46.540I think this is really captured by our friend there, Puck Daddy, and his Canada first marches, which have become very chaotic events, not very well organized, kind of get get overhyped maybe on on social media to try and this is going to be the biggest thing ever.
00:10:05.460we want to take a very different approach we want to we want all of our demonstrations to
00:10:10.980have clear purpose have very clear organization and we don't want to overextend ourselves and try
00:10:17.900and overhype something and uh I much prefer to um under promise over deliver as a general sentiment
00:10:25.600so we we did host this big event I'm sure you guys have seen uh the great the great uh pictures
00:10:34.300the great content we've been releasing if you if you haven't seen them yet please do go check out
00:10:39.720our social media channels we've released a few different edits a few different pictures
00:10:44.760of our beautiful team here in hamilton we'll have a we'll have a longer video showing you guys the
00:10:52.200whole story um released getting ready it's getting edited ken ken's ken's busy at work he's in the
00:10:59.420he's in his uh he's in his bunker locked down probably in the dark cracking away at the editing
00:11:05.720uh so we can get something nice for you guys to show you the full story of the day
00:11:10.240um but we have to keep in mind the purpose behind these kind of rallies these kind of events right
00:11:16.040um because it's it's one it's about creating a spectacle right we want to we want to
00:11:25.160raise awareness for these uh for these ideas and we do this by putting on a well-organized event
00:11:32.520that is aesthetically interesting aesthetically pleasing that's something that looks exciting and
00:11:39.540fun that more people want to be a part of and that's how we continue to spread our message
00:11:43.740because people want to share it around because it looks cool it looks interesting but also people
00:11:48.160want to get involved people want to people want to bring this to their area they want to get
00:11:51.900involved with their local organization and bring this sort of style to their to their area and
00:12:00.060I think you can see quite clearly especially when you juxtapose us against other kind of protest
00:12:05.860movements how we do have a very different approach to these things right we might have had incredibly
00:12:12.560massive numbers you know it's not thousands of people it was about a hundred people but this is
00:12:16.960all organized quietly internally to be a big surprise right uh when you blast things out all
00:12:23.840over the internet you all you don't only invite your own supporters you invite pushback you invite
00:12:28.720police presence you invite counter protesters we didn't have any of that everything went on
00:12:34.640quietly internally behind the scenes and then we burst onto the stage no one sees it coming
00:12:39.840everything goes perfectly everyone is properly trained everyone is you know in uniform
00:12:46.780wearing our colors our hats our shirts holding not holding random foreign flags not holding
00:12:54.440leaves holding dominion society flags holding the true flag of canada the red ensign
00:12:59.780all of these things are components that we need to broadly normalize right through these protests
00:13:05.760is just one method of doing so people need to be familiar with just normalizing the red ensign is
00:13:11.940an important kind of micro goal that implicitly normalizes so much because there is so much
00:13:16.520important symbolism there in the red ensign so there there is a lot of different uh angles here
00:13:23.520but it all comes together it's an opportunity to bring people together to meet each other to
00:13:29.080to work collaboratively as a team but it's it's not even all about the protest you guys you got
00:13:36.360to understand and uh some people some people like rachel gilmore is out there about how look at him
00:13:42.280he's ranting he's like a super villain telling everyone his strategy i have nothing to hide guys
00:13:46.600i'm an open book uh i'm not much of a villain either um so so this i i'm happy to to explain
00:13:54.760to you guys exactly what what we're thinking when we do these because they're not just about
00:14:03.620the protests themselves they're also about our internal organization um so while while in the
00:14:09.000long run i would like to be able to host massive demonstrations with uh that are just much more
00:14:16.140like publicly promoted with big numbers right now our priority is building out the foundation of
00:14:20.480organization we want to have we want to convert our members into volunteers into organizers we
00:14:27.440want to build an internal hierarchy a structure find where our best guys are who can then lead
00:14:33.280smaller teams and these these protests like this and this is this isn't the first demonstration
00:14:39.040we organized right back all the way last fall we did one in um in the st catherine's area we did
00:14:45.200uh one in calgary we did another demonstration there in calgary again at the the cpc
00:14:50.480convention and now we did this one in hamilton and these are all very intentional um actions
00:14:57.360that go beyond just the action themselves they're also what i like to refer to as sort of nexus
00:15:03.660events um they're they're an opportunity for us to push for large-scale onboarding because everyone
00:15:09.360we have a very people that have signed up people have got involved they'll know we have a very
00:15:14.000careful process um we have a multi-step thing to to vet people to to understand what they bring to
00:15:20.480the organization to sort them into volunteer teams so it's not all about just putting together a big
00:15:27.200crowd these are about bringing people into our organization and getting them involved in our
00:15:32.480overall structure so that we can do bigger better things in the in the long run so these these
00:15:39.600protests these demonstrations these actions act as sort of catalysts to bring in people because
00:15:45.500there's something interesting exciting um people might be apprehensive about getting a bit more
00:15:50.500involved on on some of the the the less glamorous uh work putting up posters distributing flyers
00:15:57.660but they might be more interested in getting involved in a big spectacle like this so it's
00:16:01.660an opportunity for us over the last few weeks we've had we we designated a bunch of guys that
00:16:07.340gotten to know over the last few months to help us with this organizing and onboarding process
00:16:12.220we use this as an opportunity to to really um jump start our organization particularly in the
00:16:17.340gta because we have actually had a pretty strong organization in hamilton niagara um but some of the
00:16:23.500surrounding areas were a little bit behind so we wanted to organize this event to as a catalyst to
00:16:28.540to bring online our organization not only in hamilton not only in um niagara but also in the
00:16:34.620gta in kitchener waterloo in london so through this we over the last few months we we onboarded
00:16:41.260um you know over 100 people across this region to take part in this event and now in the aftermath
00:16:48.380we now have a much better foundation to work with and build out more um continuous local chapters
00:16:55.740in toronto in in kitchener in uh in london in and then continuing to grow our teams in niagara
00:17:03.660and Hamilton as well so so while while you guys see the the content you get you see the pictures
00:17:10.520uh and so on it's also not just about this one event it's it's not just about pressuring
00:17:16.320city council to put back up the statute although that is absolutely important it's not just about
00:17:22.560pushing back on the biased narratives trying to erase John A. Macdonald from our history
00:17:30.440it's also about bringing people into the organization solidifying these local chapters
00:17:36.500and building a stronger foundation for the future i don't think we're going to be doing any sort of
00:17:41.660massive publicly promoted demonstrations for for the foreseeable future perhaps not even in 26 at
00:17:49.380all right now is all about building that foundation training our guys giving them this experience at
00:17:55.420smaller scale on how to organize and execute an effective protest because there's all sorts of
00:18:04.540moving pieces behind the scenes there's not only onboarding there's we we have to build the flag
00:18:09.900poles build the signs get all the resources for the the barbecue designate different rules there's
00:18:15.260a lot that goes into demonstrate to doing an effective event the party afterwards the the
00:18:21.340demonstration itself there's all these moving parts and we we need to get our guys experienced
00:18:26.540in doing these things and once we once we do these smaller actions as these guys get experience at
00:18:31.660doing this at the strong at the smaller level we will be in a much stronger position to do much
00:18:36.300much larger demonstrations because it won't be these guys first first rodeo all of a sudden we
00:18:42.780have a team of you know lieutenants that would be able to more effectively um act as leaders of
00:18:50.700smaller groups marshall larger crowd and keep things uh very effective very aesthetic uh maintain
00:18:57.740the spectacle because that's what's most important right we so many of these protests on the so-called
00:19:04.220right have been these kind of disorganized chaotic events they've been outnumbered by counter
00:19:10.220protesters um they've been boxed in by cops and and antifa and all these all these things which
00:19:17.980which undermines the the demonstration itself right it makes the movement look weak disorganized
00:19:24.780it's not something that people want to get involved in we want to put forward actions that
00:19:29.500are that that look cool that look fun that are something that people want to be a part of and
00:19:35.100this was just the first step in that so through this we got to spread our message we got to send
00:19:40.300the message to uh hamilton city council we got media coverage in juno i think there's there's
00:19:45.980more media coverage coming out from our uh the friend our friends over the hamilton spectator
00:19:52.060soon as well to get even more eyeballs on our organization on on our demonstration on our
00:19:57.340ideas but also we got critical experience for our guys who got their feet wet in what it what goes
00:20:04.940into organizing an effective event which will be a great platform to do further things in the future
00:20:11.900so it was it was a lot of fun it was it was a great experience um for myself uh there has been
00:20:21.740like over just a year ago right the dominion society hadn't even launched yet it was just
00:20:27.180an idea that it was being discussed by myself by by ken by greg trying to sort out how we were going
00:20:33.740to launch this organization what exactly it was going to look like it was really just a glimmer
00:20:38.780in my eye an idea in my head and to see you know just eight months later nine months later whatever
00:20:45.420it's been to see that physically manifested in in flesh and blood in in the people that have
00:20:54.540so passionately jumped into the dominion society who who are ready to give their time their their
00:21:01.600energy their their passion to this movement it was so gratifying to see to meet all these people that
00:21:08.000i had met over the phone or online or whatnot to get to shake their hands and to get to stand with
00:21:13.640them and fight for what we believe in as a collective it was it was a very gratifying very
00:21:19.380emotional experience for me um like to go from like literally this this crest that i designed
00:21:25.600uh on my computer you know a year ago to see it printed out and worn proudly on people's
00:21:32.600heads and on their chests uh it was it was very powerful uh to see that a big a big white pill a
00:21:40.360big green pill for where things are to come thank you for the super chat cln and saber 699 organize
00:21:48.600the organization base slow and steadfast wins in the end exactly our whole kind of mantra at the
00:21:55.100dominion society is do things right don't do things fast it's not about rushing and trying
00:22:00.580to meet people's unrealistic expectations. We have a strategy. We're going to follow the steps
00:22:05.720and we're going to do things properly. I really want to avoid unnecessary failures that really
00:22:10.860undermine our movement and our ideas. We want to do things carefully, intentionally, and do things
00:22:17.800that reflect well on everyone that's involved. And as Aiden points out here, notice how not
00:22:25.800one dominion society action has been disrupted by counter protesters or police
00:22:30.280no disruptions no one's everyone's out there no one's getting in trouble with with the cops no
00:22:36.280one's getting in trouble no one's getting cancelled uh everyone's out there with their uh without
00:22:41.880masks proudly standing for our ideas and then there's safety in numbers right when you have a
00:22:47.880group of people unapologetically proudly sparing sharing their ideas there's really not the the
00:22:55.400same amount of pushback that you can receive that you see other movements go through so
00:23:00.200i think this is all signals that we're doing things the right way you got to see a beautiful
00:23:04.280group of people you know proud proud canadians uh men women young old this is something that
00:23:12.360people can see themselves being a part of and like i i don't agree with the the way a lot of other
00:23:18.200groups do their do their demonstrations um whether they're poorly organized where they're
00:23:24.120well organized um there is something to having this kind of broad movement it's not just young
00:23:29.880men wearing masks or or doing things in a very radical way it's it's something that any canadian
00:23:37.000any heritage canadian can see and relate with and want to be a part of and that's going to be so
00:23:42.920important for advancing our movement into the mainstream um we don't look like a bunch of scary
00:23:49.000radical extremists like the like the media tries to to make us out to be we look like a bunch of
00:23:54.440passionate real canadians fighting for our country because that's exactly what we're doing so
00:24:00.120i'm very happy with how things went i'm very proud of all the guys who were involved in organizing
00:24:06.200a lot of these guys are new to politics are new to activism um but they're jumping in with both
00:24:12.600feet they're taking things very seriously themselves the organization and it's really
00:24:18.040it really comes down to the people right politics isn't just about ideas it's not just about having
00:24:22.040the right policy this is a big problem with things like the ppc they say we have the best ideas but
00:24:27.960it's not about just have having the right policies on your website which you know we we do have it's
00:24:34.040also about getting to know the human beings that are involved their skills their passions their
00:24:40.200their concerns and capitalizing on that and integrating people into systems so that we can
00:24:46.120build an organization that is more than the sum of its parts and this can be a little bit more slow
00:24:51.880going than some people would like to to things to go but we it's important that we get to know
00:24:57.560everyone and to build these organizations based off of who we have at our disposal who's who's
00:25:03.960ready who's willing who's able to to organize um and get involved properly so it was a big success
00:25:13.000a big success, I would say. And I'm looking forward to seeing some more media coverage.
00:25:18.680I'm looking forward to seeing our own video and showing you guys the whole experience.
00:25:23.960I know you saw bits of my speech there if you watched one of the edits we released,
00:25:29.380but I did have another speech later in the day, which we will release as part of our larger
00:25:36.120content. So you guys can look out for that. But this is just another example.
00:25:42.780another window into what we've had planned. Like you guys saw a few weeks ago, we did the big
00:25:47.120action there in Owen Sound where we pushed back against the city council. Now we've done this
00:25:53.380here in Hamilton. We try and have interesting ideas and aesthetics, right? It's about creating
00:26:02.580the spectacle very much like we did with the conserve what action there in Calgary a few
00:26:07.480months ago it went so viral because we had an interesting spectacle unveiling the the conserve
00:26:13.600what photo that's what that's what went so viral and and very in uh the move here was there there
00:26:20.560is the remaining kind of platform where the statue used to be so we as you might have seen we we got
00:26:25.400a life-size cutout of sir john mcdonald made uh as a sort of uh replacement for the statue and
00:26:32.080and uh i i went up there and i i placed it back atop where where sir john should be standing to
00:26:39.060this day as as a sort of proxy and again it's all about creating an interesting spectacle for people
00:26:46.300to uh to to grab people's attentions to to to make them realize the importance of our ideas
00:26:54.000because it's not just about having the right ideas right it's about how you communicate them
00:26:58.800And that's not even just the words you use. That's not about making a speech. That's also about the entire aesthetic, right? It's how people are organized, in uniform, with the right flags, with the right banner, with the kind of cherry on top, which in this case was this cutout of Sir John.
00:27:19.440um to that all comes together to make uh an interesting uh experience for the viewer that
00:27:27.500they might then want to be inspired to sign up to get involved and so on and uh the other thing is
00:27:34.760this is the our team here in ontario our team here in hamilton i think they just issued a big
00:27:39.760challenge to the rest of our organization around the country we have guys getting organized all
00:27:44.100across the country in Victoria, BC, in Edmonton, in Calgary, in Halifax, in Montreal. And now all
00:27:50.240of them, all these guys already involved doing great work across the country have seen that.
00:27:56.400And now it's up to them to one up, to do something even bigger, to help us do something even more
00:28:02.400spectacular. So this is just the beginning. As we continue to grow, these demonstrations are only
00:28:07.640going to get bigger. They're only going to get more frequent as we continue to get more and more
00:28:12.180organized so this is just the beginning it's all about creating the spectacle having a well
00:28:18.580organized well run right the like these uh again I don't want to bully puck daddy too much I I do
00:28:26.200think his heart's in the right place even though I don't agree with all of his methods but the big
00:28:30.160issue with those protests and the kind of freedom boomer protest circuit that's kind of a COVID era
00:28:38.000hangover is they're they're very kind of liberal coded they're very they're very much uh have a
00:28:43.440kind of hippie vibe to them they're they're completely chaotic anyone can show up uh there's
00:28:48.040a lot of people drinking smoking weed doing all these things and you have to understand that
00:28:52.920really fundamentally we are a right-wing movement you know we have this nationalist this particular
00:28:59.160philosophy that we're advancing and in order to promote that properly
00:29:05.820our demonstrations need to follow that same kind of philosophy on a basic level and you know that
00:29:13.580means that we believe in order and hierarchy so having these chaotic events doesn't really
00:29:20.580appeal to the right audience that we're looking to motivate and bring into the political
00:29:26.440bring into political action so this that means we do have to have a certain level of order it's not
00:29:33.280as people come in and doing whatever they want it's people coming and being designated specific
00:29:38.160roles uh being made sure they're they're put in uniform having a consistent aesthetic you know
00:29:43.040banning people from doing certain things like we did not allow people to bring um you know outside
00:29:48.800flags we had people had to have their their signs approved what they were wearing approved we needed
00:29:54.320to maintain a certain aesthetic this does mean taking away people's freedoms a little bit
00:29:59.120submitting to the broader organization in order to advance our goals and the results i think speak
00:30:05.120for themselves you get something very powerful very nationalistic very patriotic that really
00:30:11.280appeals to the type of community that we're looking to build so that's that's the logic
00:30:17.360a huge a huge w a huge victory for the dominion society a huge win for canadian nationalists
00:30:24.240across the board a huge win for the green leaf gang the green leaf gang only green leaf ensigns
00:30:30.160at our our actions fortisac seething fortisac seething someone tag fortisac and let them know
00:30:36.640the red leaf gang is losing and the green leaf gang is winning the only true ensign the green leaf
00:30:41.7601921 version of the of the ensign um but that's what it's all about um so this is these are a lot
00:30:49.760of fun and they have huge um benefits knock-on benefits it's not just about the day it's about
00:30:58.560now we have to continue we have to so now we have so many people onboarded into our systems in the
00:31:04.560gta now we have to put them to work we have to build out that formal team um and same for a bunch
00:31:11.840of other areas this is just the start and it'll put us in a in a better um position for future
00:31:19.440future demonstrations and you know that might come a bit sooner than than later um this is just uh
00:31:27.680just before this stream should i change my profile picture yes you should change your profile picture

00:31:54.240Daniel, you plan on putting the cutout of Sir John in the backdrop, do you?
00:31:59.120We'll see. We'll see. Sir John's still back at Niagara HQ. A little bit more difficult to
00:32:05.600transport to Ottawa than the painting. But I would love to have Sir John over my shoulder,
00:32:13.360looking over me looking looking down at me kind of kind of smugly um uh it would keep me accountable
00:32:23.440um but but just as i was saying uh it's important to get our ontario team in in uh or our gta team
00:32:31.680in line because it looks like there might be um further further needs for for demonstrations this
00:32:37.120was flagged to me just before the live stream let's watch this clip that's already going kind
