00:00:00.080 who will determine what is criminal hate and what is not i mean do we have experts on hate in canada
00:00:07.520 well actually we do we have or had a government-funded organization endorsed by politicians
00:00:13.520 senators and the canadian media who claim to be hate experts the canadian anti-hate network is a
00:00:19.760 federally funded non-governmental organization the problem is they are also openly biased when
00:00:26.560 when it comes to how they view hatred.
00:00:28.980 Mr. Balgord, would you say that your organization
00:00:31.200 is an objective organization?
00:00:32.820 We wear our biases on our sleeves, right?
00:00:35.380 We are very proudly anti-fascist
00:00:37.200 and we focus on the far right.
00:00:39.460 They are not neutral.
00:00:41.620 They focus on the far right,
00:00:43.780 which presents some very important questions.
00:00:47.100 Who gets to determine what is a fascist?
00:00:50.140 And I would ask that person, what do you mean by fascist?
00:00:53.720 Because it's the same thing
00:00:54.460 as the Southern Poverty Law Center, right?
00:00:56.220 S.P.A.L.C. redefines the word hate, redefines the word fascist, redefines the word Nazi,
00:01:02.400 for goodness sake, and then applies it to people who disagree with their religious or moral views.
00:01:08.160 Calling someone a fascist, an oppressor, is not a neutral descriptor. It casts them as the villain
00:01:15.360 of history. It implies they deserve to be stopped by any means necessary. This name-calling is an
00:01:22.420 act of vilification itself. The reality is anyone can be a Nazi or smeared as a Nazi
00:01:29.860 and that's been my experience. So you've been called a Nazi before? All the time. Have you
00:01:35.900 ever been called a Nazi before? Yes. Ironically by a white person. Punching Nazis is a common
00:01:42.120 phrase from anti-fascists. The problem is anyone who supports immigration reform or doesn't think
00:01:48.780 trans women are women can quickly be branded as a nazi and have hatred and violence levied against
00:01:55.420 them that was billboard chris a dad who holds simple signs that say children cannot consent 0.92
00:02:05.020 to puberty blockers he thinks it's unwise to teach children about transgenderism in schools
00:02:10.620 while they are still developing before they've hit puberty our so-called hate experts in canada
00:02:15.260 have never reported on violence or hatred like this against billboard chris presumably because
00:02:21.020 they believe this type of hatred and violence is totally justified because billboard chris
00:02:25.980 at one point got branded a nazi or fascist because of his political beliefs they're they're
00:02:31.340 the fascists fascism is using violence and intimidation to silence your political opponent
00:02:37.340 and that's exactly what they do in a defamation lawsuit by the way the anti-hate network versus
00:02:42.220 Jonathan Kay, an Ontario court concluded, quote, that the Canadian Anti-Hate Network did in fact
00:02:48.100 assist Antifa and that the movement has been violent. This political bias and one-sided
00:02:53.600 version of hatred is reflected in Bill C-9 legislation.
