00:00:00.000 So people, they say, you guys are ethno-nationalists.
00:00:03.820 They say the Dominic Society is ethno-nationalism, and that's bad.
00:00:08.260 And they say civic nationalism is better.
00:00:10.560 What is the difference between ethno-nationalism and civic nationalism?
00:00:13.760 And do you yourself identify as an ethno-nationalist?
00:00:16.660 I don't personally identify as an ethno-nationalist.
00:00:18.720 I think that civic nationalism is completely fake, right?
00:00:23.100 It's a false dichotomy that was invented in the post-war period,
00:00:26.080 And specifically to vilify what they call ethno-nationalists and to present a more liberal alternative to like the word nation and the word ethnos comes from very similar roots.
00:00:38.460 One is the Latin and one is the Greek, both mean a people with a shared identity and culture.
00:00:43.440 So I feel like this using this ethno-nationalist, it's playing into our enemy's hands.
00:00:48.400 Like, really, we're just nationalists and the true concept of the word.
00:00:51.220 and civic nationalist is like this values-based liberal conception where anyone can be a part of
00:00:57.400 this kind of civic institution and we've seen the failures of that right and you know we've created
00:01:04.940 this civic national where everyone kind of supposedly abides by the same laws the same
00:01:10.300 values but we see that that's not true right we see these people coming with their foreign religions
00:01:13.980 with their foreign concepts of morality
00:01:17.980 and civic institutions
00:01:19.960 and staying within their kind of ethnic groups,
00:01:24.000 creating these ethnic ghettos.
00:01:25.400 We've seen this, even the law
00:01:27.040 doesn't really apply evenly
00:01:29.140 across ethnicities in Canada.
00:01:30.840 We've seen this two-tier justice system
00:01:32.260 where people who are here as immigrants
00:01:34.580 or on temporary residencies
00:01:35.740 are given lighter sentences
00:01:38.000 to preserve their immigration status.
00:01:39.940 Like I don't, like this civic nationalist conception
00:01:43.280 what is truly kind of diet post-nationalism is completely dysfunctional and the only way
00:01:50.000 to to get Canada back on track is to accept that everything is downstream from the people
00:01:56.200 and we need to preserve Canada Canadians as the dominant ethnic group we need to be
00:02:01.980 Canada needs to be a super majority Canadian country to remain the way it is or else it will
00:02:06.240 continue to transform as the people transform so you think that Canada so you think that Canadians
00:02:12.720 they're an ethnic people just like the Punjabis are an ethnic people.
00:02:16.520 Yeah, yeah.
00:02:17.520 The Punjabis should not be living in Canada, essentially, because that's for the Canadian
00:02:21.400 ethnic people when they do have their own animal.
00:02:23.600 Absolutely.
00:02:24.600 Absolutely.
00:02:25.600 And you've seen this, like you've seen how it's transforming our politics, right?
00:02:28.720 Now complete ridings are dominated by foreign ethnic groups and politicians are put in a
00:02:35.200 position where they just want to pander to different ethnic voting blocs.
00:02:39.560 It's made our politics very superficial.
00:02:41.560 It's not about ideas anymore.
00:02:42.700 It's about playing dress up and pandering to the right groups
00:02:44.800 to win the right ridings, especially in and around the big cities.
00:02:48.160 And this is very reductive.
00:02:49.800 You've seen the rise of these factions like the Calistani separatists,
00:02:53.380 where their whole conception about politics,
00:02:55.620 their whole priorities about what's going on in foreign countries.
00:02:58.080 Like, this is completely dysfunctional.
00:03:00.560 I think the Canadian politics should be focused on the well-being,
00:03:04.020 the prosperity of the Canadian people,
00:03:05.360 not about dividing and pandering to things happening in foreign countries.
00:03:10.200 If your if your priority is the politics of a foreign country, I think just go back and advance to that in your own country and leave us alone to do our own to pursue what's in our own best interests.
00:03:22.980 So these immigrants, they do have Canadian citizenship now.
00:03:26.260 And when you have Canadian citizenship, you are able to vote and also run for elected office.
00:03:32.080 We are seeing these ethnic enclaves being created where it is just a bunch of Indians living in this place.
00:03:39.620 a bunch of Somalis living in that place, it's a bunch of Chinese living in that place, and
00:03:46.900 they do themselves leave their enclaves to go to Ottawa, to go to the provincial capital.
00:03:54.980 The only solution that I see is outright removing citizenship. It's taking away their passport and
00:04:01.540 literally throwing it in the garbage. Now, the problem with that, a lot of people, they say,
00:04:06.020 that's impossible you can't do that can we do that actually yeah you can change lots right
