00:00:00.000 Kaveh Sharrouz jumps on our post and he says,
00:00:03.780 You're right.
00:00:04.500 A true Canadian might be too polite to say, 1.00
00:00:08.220 Fuck you, Daniel Tyree, you racist piece of shit. 1.00
00:00:11.540 You're a piece of garbage who has done nothing with his life 1.00
00:00:14.160 and wants to blame his failures on non-white people. 1.00
00:00:17.260 But I'm an immigrant and have no problem saying it. 1.00
00:00:20.340 Damn. 0.99
00:00:20.700 So again, a very bizarre response. 0.99
00:00:23.160 But I think it really proves our point.
00:00:25.440 Like this guy does not act very Canadian, not very polite.
00:00:28.560 He accepts that he's not a Canadian. In fact, he uses it to justify his poor behavior. But what I
00:00:34.240 find really shocking about this is his background. Like this guy's a Harvard educated lawyer. He
00:00:38.700 works for a premier kind of conservative think tank, the McDonnell Laurier Institute. And here
00:00:44.820 he is on our posts crashing out, you know, cursing and calling people names. I think this is going to
00:00:50.600 be representative of something that we're going to see a lot more. And I think we're going to see it
00:00:53.920 like this i think we're going to see it in more subversive and nefarious ways whisper campaigns
00:00:59.600 behind the scenes i think that a lot of these existing conservative think tanks are going to
00:01:06.000 be increasingly threatened by dominion society because one we're in competition for them we're
00:01:10.840 going to be seeking out the same kind of support for members and donors and so on as we look to
00:01:15.400 accomplish our mission but also the the we're going against the grain not only ideologically
00:01:21.000 but stylistically we're kind of like the new kids on the block to be honest and we do things
00:01:25.660 very differently than traditional think tanks obviously we have a very different style on
00:01:31.060 social media we are looking to produce all sorts of think tank style studies and products like
00:01:36.640 that but we're also have a very modern casual fun social media style and i think that these
00:01:43.160 traditional actors these kind of old fogies are going to think it's absolutely unacceptable 1.00
00:01:46.920 They're not going to like the way that we tweet in the way that we make fun of things and our brash language, talking like normal people and producing popular short form content.
00:01:56.860 They're going to be jealous because they've always wanted to get this sort of attention, but they don't know how to use social media.
00:02:01.520 So they haven't been able to do so.
00:02:03.040 And they're going to react like this or they're going to react with whisper campaigns and trying to cancel us behind the scenes.
00:02:09.000 But the reality is we're going to keep growing because we have a strong message that resonates with people.
00:02:13.000 we're very effective at using social media and getting a lot of eyeballs on our ideas and our
00:02:18.600 content. And they're just going to have to deal with it. We're not going anywhere but up.
