00:00:00.000 It's becoming increasingly obvious that Canada has a two-tiered justice system and we should be
00:00:06.360 concerned about this, guys. In this case, we're talking about vandalism and defacing public
00:00:11.100 property. This is Ayrton Ryerson on Ryerson campus some years ago. You may remember when
00:00:16.000 Sir John A. was torn down by Antifa in Montreal. No arrests were made, by the way. And it's not
00:00:22.580 like this happens in the middle of the night. There's like people all around tearing. This is
00:00:26.400 in hamilton where this happens in broad daylight the people are there tearing down the statue
00:00:30.860 there's probably recordings of it and the people doing and once again in hamilton no arrests were
00:00:35.640 made and the sir john a mcdonald statue in toronto and queens park was also vandalized in recent
00:00:41.300 again it happened in broad daylight there's lots of people around cheering it up and instead of
00:00:46.200 the police doing their job and pushing a lot of arrests for anyone who does this well they actually
00:00:51.580 just put Sir John A. in a box to prevent further crime from happening. So this is how our
00:00:57.960 institutions and law enforcement is going to protect and uphold our historic monuments,
00:01:02.760 putting it in a box. Then with this trade war going on with the USA and all this nationalism
00:01:07.960 of Canada Strong and Canada First rhetoric, well, a disgruntled Canadian went over to this box
00:01:14.400 and spray painted Free John on the box. Not on the statue, but on the box around the statue.
00:01:21.580 And for defacing the box around the statue, this man is facing up to two years in prison.
00:01:27.680 The Patriot, who said Free John, is named Daniel Tate.
00:01:30.860 He made a video about this just yesterday, asking people to support him at his upcoming court date on Monday.
00:01:36.860 You can watch the whole video right here on his Instagram. That's his ad.
00:01:40.100 And you can support him in downtown Toronto, 10 Armory Street, Monday, April 7th at 2 p.m.
00:01:45.880 Like, where is the consistency here in Canada?
00:01:47.680 People are able to destroy these statues in broad daylight, get away with it, not get arrested.
00:01:53.260 And this guy just simply puts a message on the box around the statue,
00:01:58.800 and that's going to get him two years in prison, potentially.
00:02:01.200 Where do we get off supporting politicians who say Canada first or Canada strong,
00:02:05.520 and then we'll have nothing to say about this double standard
00:02:07.940 where people can just openly deface our historic monuments?
00:02:11.340 So come out and make some noise about this on Monday.
00:02:14.480 Here are the details again and support Daniel Tate.
