Are you tired of this country being hewn apart?
00:00:04.700
Well, the Dominion Society, the vanguard movement of Canada,
00:00:08.860
is here to ensure that the fire of this nation is fueled.
00:00:23.800
What is it that you could possibly be laughing at?
00:02:00.000
Hopefully we have to stay with your peace too much.
00:02:17.520
to do a bit of camping and team building with the boys.
00:02:25.680
we're here to reconnect with the land that our ancestors tamed a land they named with intent
00:02:33.520
and purpose we are on a mission a mission to put this municipality bruce county along with every
00:02:44.400
municipality across the nation on notice we will not stand for the erasure of our history
00:02:52.560
and we will not sit idle while you pick apart our heroes and discourage us from being proud
00:02:59.520
of our lineage. Tomorrow we descend on Owen Sound City Hall not as agitators but as the arbiters
00:03:09.200
of our legacy to say no to the systematic annihilation of our monuments, our identity,
00:03:18.000
and our future as a nation for every man here today there are thousands more with
00:03:26.100
us in spirit tomorrow hundreds of thousands and soon our ethos will be
00:03:33.600
instilled in the hearts and mind of millions of Canadians our love for our
00:03:40.560
Our nation and its heroes is not a shame, it is a birthright.
00:03:48.120
The dormant spirit of our great nation has been awakened.
00:03:58.740
And like the green auroras of the North, the Dominion Society is an unrelenting force sweeping
00:04:08.400
We stand on the shoulders of the great men that came before us.
00:04:13.400
It is now our opportunity to become the pillar for our children and the next generation to
00:05:08.400
are you familiar with billy bishop the hometown hero he was a war fighter pilot yes i won world
00:05:23.920
war ii we believe that uh instead of naming a park friendship land what better of a name
00:05:29.440
than billy bishop park uh to honor a hometown hero what do you think of that why not right
00:05:35.680
absolutely it makes the most sense sounds very appropriate so yeah i would say would that be
00:05:40.640
something that you would support 100 yeah i think that's 100 better we're proposing
00:05:46.080
that they name it billy bishophart instead to our local war hero yeah that's i'd much prefer that
00:05:54.320
we're curious what the hell is going on with all you fancy little people hopefully uh city council
00:05:59.680
uh knows what's best and uh i think absolutely like i don't know if you know the billy bishop
00:06:14.560
airport that's outside of town they had to change their name to a different name because i guess
00:06:18.160
an airport in toronto took the billy bishop name yes yeah so it'd be cool if we had like a park
00:06:22.640
around here too that would like take over that like name thing yeah i would back that up for sure
00:06:27.680
yeah thank you very much no problem i it was nice seeing you guys you have a good day yeah you too
00:06:32.480
good luck guys i i think that's a good idea um yeah i i wouldn't see why not uh especially if
00:06:39.440
it's like the town's heritage and it's all recognizing yeah recognizing that i think i
00:06:44.320
like that idea yeah i think that'd be good thank you for your time yeah of course have a good day
00:06:48.960
you guys would that be a name change you'd like to see or like would i get your opinion on that
00:06:52.800
And I think I'm all for Billy Bishop, keeping the local, local hero,
00:07:06.300
We think it's a little bit more appropriate to honor someone who means a lot to the town.
00:07:12.160
Over, you know, a generic name like Friendship Park.
00:07:20.380
but Billy Bishop I would agree with that actually it would be a good thing in my perspective too
00:07:27.600
because Remembrance Day of all holidays which is not a stat holiday almost should be yeah we
00:07:34.740
ought to be more proud of our history than you know cover it up yeah and I think uh Remembrance
00:07:42.020
Day and the younger generation should maybe remember what World War I and World War II
00:07:49.240
really costs i think it's criminally understated uh canada's role in world war one and world war
00:07:55.720
two hey i was just curious what you guys were here for so uh so we're here because they've uh
00:08:01.960
removed ryerson park is the name of the park uh very much as they changed sobel beach to
00:08:07.720
saugine beach you were a heritage preservation and canadian identity organization yeah so
00:08:14.120
essentially they've already removed the name so now they're taking suggestions for
00:08:18.520
a new name of the park so we figured what uh what better than uh to name it after a hometown hero
00:08:25.560
billy bishop exactly yeah so uh we'll be down at uh city hall in a couple hours uh to speak on it
00:08:33.400
yeah oh i hope i hope the outcome is what you're looking for awesome because it's easier to
00:08:37.880
remember too exactly exactly yeah cool hey it's great to see i saw the flags i just want to know
00:08:43.720
what it's all about absolutely nice here thanks for standing up for the heritage uh i'm all on
00:08:49.480

00:09:10.040

00:09:27.800
society or a heritage preservation and feeding identity group uh how far back do you look at
00:09:33.480
