00:04:21.360 on hateful posts we have no idea yeah and and i hope you can understand that as a canadian citizen
00:04:25.840 i'm just like we cannot comment on somebody on somebody else's uh point of view neither we sure
00:04:31.760 well well you guys are commenting on the canadian point of view of national security so that's kind
00:04:36.000 of why i'm here right to like ask questions about that we are here because of our own involvement
00:04:42.480 in the canadian security well yeah no because we are canadians because you said you're with the
00:04:46.240 you're with a venue right no oh you're not with the video okay got it got it you're not with uh
00:04:52.000 the canadian indian foundation you're not what's happening we're attending it oh you're just attendees
00:04:56.400 a third party oh okay so they just got you to come out and tell me not to come in as just like an
00:05:02.320 attendant with no security security detail came in and they said uh there's someone to talk to
00:05:08.160 okay they sent me out i said okay can we speak with one of the organizers would that be possible
00:05:12.720 are you one of the organizers you're also just an attendant okay okay so when you said that the
00:05:21.440 event's almost over that wasn't true because it goes till five it will be it will be done soon so
00:05:26.720 okay okay oh that's too bad uh so i guess our tickets no good then sorry mate yeah yeah i'm sorry too i'm

00:05:43.520 about national security as a canadian citizen but i guess that's not going to happen
