00:00:00.000 Breaking news, Charlie Downs has just been detained at the Canada-U.S. border.
00:00:05.180 Charlie Downs is the campaign manager and spokesperson for Restore Britain,
00:00:09.440 a political party that has a seat in the U.K. Parliament.
00:00:13.080 He was traveling to Canada to speak at DomCon, Canada's premier nationalist conference,
00:00:17.620 held by the Dominion Society of Canada, to peacefully share his political ideas.
00:00:22.380 Charlie was going to fly directly into Canada from London, U.K.
00:00:25.800 He secured his electronic travel authorization.
00:00:27.880 But then our Canadian institution, the IRCC, reopened his electronic travel authorization at the last minute without noticing Charlie, so he was not even able to board his flight.
00:00:38.360 So instead, he flew into the U.S. to then travel north over the land border into Canada, where you do not need an ETA.
00:00:45.400 And now at the Canada-U.S. border, they're even using a canine unit to search his vehicle.
00:00:49.860 It is maddening to think about the amount of criminals and drugs that have passed over the U.S. into Canada without our border services doing anything at all about it.
00:01:00.100 But when it comes to a nationalist from Britain who's part of the fastest growing party in the U.K. right now who's critical of immigration, yeah, well, we're going to treat you like a criminal for trying to even come into Canada.
00:01:12.020 So Canadian Border Services, the IRCC, Mark Kearney, Canadians and Brits,
00:01:17.080 the Commonwealth in general, needs an explanation for this.
00:01:20.720 Can we just not travel freely between different countries if we have the wrong political ideas?
00:01:26.500 Wrong according to who?
00:01:27.660 We're told that we live in free and democratic countries,
00:01:29.980 so maybe you can help clarify what the fine print is.
