00:00:00.000 hey everybody how's it going if it's an emergency if it's an emergency then is it
00:00:10.920 really necessary to have to uh lie about whether you can speak english or not if it was an if it's
00:00:17.360 an emergency then why are ottawa city counselors intentionally trying to uh not answer questions
00:00:25.300 clearly uh i'm a canadian my name is greg i usually don't go live like this um i usually
00:00:33.300 don't go live like this but somebody sent me this video and i had to i had to hop on and uh
00:00:39.120 and say something here i'm gonna try to go live on facebook as well see if we can get that going
00:00:44.600 but um yeah so uh i'll reiterate the question you know if it's an emergency
00:00:52.140 if if what happened in ottawa is such an emergency then why exactly uh do we have ottawa city
00:01:00.620 counselors who are trying to like avoid answering the question uh like straightforward questions
00:01:07.180 so somebody just sent me this video i just wanted to live react to it because it's i i it's i usually
00:01:12.720 don't go live like this but i find it absolutely despicable uh behavior from these ottawa city
00:01:18.240 counselors these ottawa politicians it it it makes me so upset anyway we'll we'll react to
00:01:22.880 this this video was put together by uh let me change the view here this video was put together
00:01:29.220 by war campaign so check out his channel but uh let's let's give it a listen shall we
00:01:36.000 respond in french oh yeah let's uh introduce these two individuals so uh on the left here
00:01:44.360 we have matthew flurry uh right over here and then on the right here we have katherine mckenney
00:01:50.520 who is an ottawa mayoral candidate but this was just the other day at the emergency
00:01:56.440 measures act uh hearing and uh yeah without further ado let's let's let's react to this shall we
00:02:02.600 In your evidence, you made use of a term you referred to as microaggression, is that right?
00:02:15.600 I believe so, multiple times.
00:02:17.600 Okay. Is microaggression, is your understanding of that, that it means verbal and environmental slights?
00:02:24.600 Je suis francophone, donc si vous voulez ĂȘtre spĂ©cifique sur les mots, il va falloir que vous me demandiez en français,
00:02:29.600 parce que vous me demandez une théorie de définition.
00:02:32.600 can you believe this can you believe this guy all of a sudden oh no i'm francophone i uh can't
00:02:40.460 answer that question and we'll move on to to mckenny in a second here who was coaching him
00:02:48.260 to do this but uh i mean you don't have to look far you just google his name and let's listen to
00:02:54.380 this video this uh this uh this is like part of his youtube channel i believe matthew fleury he
00:03:00.500 released this uh just like a couple weeks ago back to school period went hi everyone i hope
00:03:06.920 you're doing well and that the back to school period went well for you and your family it's
00:03:11.280 already the fall he speaks pretty good english it's pretty fluent english don't you think and
00:03:16.860 the fall also means the completion of many infrastructure projects in our city we're here
00:03:22.440 at riverain park for the completion of phase two it's important to see investments in our parks
00:03:28.140 not only does it bring communities together allows neighbors to connect but it's also
00:03:32.940 seems seems like a pretty competent english speaker but who knows maybe that was a fluke
00:03:37.800 let's see another video from him in my community we're the community that uses most financial
00:03:44.920 assistance when it comes to city programming and financial assistance is a really good program
00:03:48.900 it's called hand in hand but it has its limitations so a family let's say let's say a single parent
00:03:54.480 you can go and get really affordable uh swimming lessons where you pay 25 percent of the overall
00:04:01.400 cost this is pretty complicated sentence structure of how much money this is pretty
00:04:05.700 complicated sentence structure for somebody who uh all of a sudden doesn't understand english 0.97
00:04:10.480 um i'm just like this guy's clearly full of shit man like i don't know what else to say like let's 0.98
00:04:18.360 go back to this original clip where he's under oath at this emergency hearing 0.98
00:04:23.080 respond in french respond in french props to whoever picked up on this hot mic because this
00:04:30.600 is again we'll move on to her in a second but let's watch let's watch this guy's behavior this
00:04:34.840 is an ottawa city counselor okay this is like supposed to be some respected official
00:04:39.700 in the scene of ottawa politics and just look at this stunt he pulls
00:04:43.900 i mean just look at it look at his face in that moment too he's kind of like are you serious
00:04:52.280 you actually want me to do this look look
00:04:54.600 you really want me to pull one of the all right all right i'll do the thing where i i don't know
00:05:06.800 english in your evidence uh you made use of a term he's looking uneasy he's like hmm oh man
00:05:14.620 will this be bad for my career it should be bad for your career like and this is what's so
00:05:19.500 insulting about this these people assume that canadians are not paying attention like there's
00:05:26.220 so much contempt for just regular canadian people that it's like dude just just pretend you don't
00:05:30.900 speak english like no one's gonna do any research about this no one's gonna do any follow-up on this
00:05:35.260 it's so insulting it's so insulting it's absolutely ridiculous anyway i'm gonna play i know i keep 0.76
00:05:41.360 starting over but we're doing the play-by-play i hope you guys are enjoying it are we working on
00:05:46.740 facebook anyway let's let's start from the beginning here in your evidence uh you made
00:05:56.500 use of a term you referred to as microaggression is that right i believe so multiple times okay
00:06:03.840 is microaggression is your understanding of that that it means verbal and environmental slights
00:06:10.040 i'm francophone now i can't answer that question sorry and then look what he says
00:06:23.080 so if you want me to be specific about words you'll have to ask me in french because you're
00:06:26.760 asking me a theory of a definition and unfortunately my knowledge of english is inappropriate like that
00:06:31.880 like despicable this is despicable behavior again if it's an emergency it should be very clearly
00:06:42.380 easy to explain the answer to this question but but the fact of the matter is is yeah if you're
00:06:48.800 explaining microaggressions doesn't really sound like an emergency does it you know uh oh yeah we
00:06:54.920 called an emergency on microaggressions give me a break
00:06:57.680 and look at that there it is folks there it is folks there it is there it is right there
00:07:20.400 you can see it right there look look at that that that is that is your your your average
00:07:29.420 ottawa uh city counselor right there yeah yeah yeah we avoided that one didn't we
00:07:40.780 yeah all right this is despicable behavior man like are these people interested in telling the
00:07:48.440 truth that doesn't look like it it looks like they're interested in um you know keeping this
00:07:54.780 charade alive and the thing is is you know if you're a freedom fighter type if you're a conservative
00:07:59.340 type uh you kind of have let me switch the view here if you're a conservative uh freedom fighter
00:08:06.140 type or if you're just somebody who cares about you know what's happening in this country there's
00:08:11.440 this kind of growing theory that you have that's like hmm is the media kind of lying in tandem in
00:08:18.980 unison like collaborating with the media is the media collaborating with these politicians to
00:08:25.100 kind of just keep this charade alive people have had that theory and then and then here we are here
00:08:29.940 we are seeing it in live time we're seeing how they're like keeping this charade alive
00:08:35.360 of tricking the people hey let's pretend we don't even speak english so we don't have to answer this 0.95
00:08:40.440 bullshit question about microaggressions because microaggressions are a terrible argument that uh 0.81
00:08:45.620 that it was necessary to call the emergencies act like we're seeing it in live time this uh 0.99
00:08:50.600 oh my god just look at the expression just look at that expression man i i really can't get over
00:08:56.440 that yeah we got them good there we got them good there ottawa that might be the future mayor of
00:09:04.840 ottawa by the way and yeah i mean there's so much to say on this uh emergency measures uh hearing
00:09:12.660 but it's uh it's very reflective of the kind of the beating heart of corruption and incompetence
00:09:21.240 in ottawa you know and uh they they really thrive upon this elitism and they thrive upon as we're 0.99
00:09:27.740 seeing here and there's a lot to be said about this this sort of hiding behind francophone being 0.98
00:09:34.000 a francophone hiding behind being bilingual you'll see trudeau do this as well where he'll like try
00:09:40.620 to slip in yeah uh do we tolerate these people he'll do it in french uh like he'll get away with
00:09:45.700 murder by speaking in french or he'll like avoid questions by speaking in french like he'll avoid 0.93
00:09:49.980 how ridiculous policies are by speaking in french and here we are seeing it again but let's continue
00:09:55.300 uh reacting to this here i messed up all the framing actually i'll check in on chat and see
00:10:01.340 if you see what you guys are saying give me a second
00:10:03.920 she is the classic socialist weirdo archetype 1.00
00:10:10.280 like stomping tom said they speak in french and english but they still don't understand
00:10:18.360 is that a lyric of his i didn't know that
00:10:27.000 so if you don't understand the terminology why were you the one 0.96
00:10:30.320 using it during your pathetic testimony flurry great question your fave karen uh great question 0.96
00:10:37.200 like it's this is this is such a circus this hearing and um i i mean you may have seen the 0.77
00:10:44.380 video i made before of how i'm not excited about this uh this hearing because i think it's going
00:10:47.780 to be a bunch of people uh you know coming up on trial and lying and trying to bury the the
00:10:52.440 the trucker convoy uh in lies but after seeing this clip it's kind of exciting it's like maybe
00:10:57.380 we're going to get a whole bunch of more blunders like this where we just see how despicable these
00:11:02.440 people are and i once again like if you live in ottawa you should not let this man you should not 0.95
00:11:12.300 let him live this down because like what like what does that say of his character really hey i'm gonna
00:11:18.200 pretend i'm gonna pretend i'm gonna pretend that i don't speak english so i can essentially you know
00:11:27.840 slander this uh this protest movement just so i can i don't know
00:11:34.140 follow along with all of the you know corrupt narrative that that goes on in the satanic
00:11:42.120 city of ottawa like really anyway let's keep watching this
00:11:48.200 Well, should come sir. Well, Catherine McKinney, Ottawa City
00:11:58.460 counselor is run. This is the this is the narrator from the
00:12:01.820 channel the war campaign guy for Ottawa mayor. The election is
00:12:05.700 going to be held on Monday, October 24. Here testifying on
00:12:09.300 October 14 at the Public Order Emergency Commission. Her true
00:12:13.140 character shines through like, like how smug and satisfied she
00:12:17.180 looks with herself here she's yeah yeah this is what this is what politics is pretending you don't
00:12:24.460 speak english to avoid the question yeah this is what politics is look up look how proud and smug
00:12:30.100 she looks man brutal emergency commission her true character shines through zero integrity as 0.98
00:12:37.880 she coaches counselor matthew flurry and how to obstruct justice in real time her obstruction
00:12:44.200 is a travesty as canadians require a real honest investigation into the circumstances that led to
00:12:51.140 the first time use ever of the emergency act that has seen so many people lose faith in our
00:12:58.160 government well said well said war campaign keep going keep going um i i i think you know it is
00:13:12.840 funny but it's not i am doing my very best to answer clear questions in english you asked me
00:13:18.400 a very specific question on a definition i'm saying ask me clarify in french i'm glad to
00:13:23.940 specify if it is yes or no the she's nodding along yeah yeah that makes sense let me just pop up
00:13:30.720 another video of this guy just to like like remind you how full of crappy is this is an interview from
00:13:35.800 last month let's break that down a little bit and talk about that decision and why you made it
00:13:41.960 well look i uh i've been blessed right i i came out of university after my master's
00:13:47.160 ran for office and won uh the age of 24 in 2010. six three elections later uh 12 years
00:13:54.920 of experience on council um it was to me after the last election 12 years 12 years
00:14:03.240 of experience on council in ottawa a bilingual city speaking fluent english here
00:14:11.960 this is embarrassing dude this is embarrassing this is so embarrassing 0.51
00:14:19.160 like any like if for anyone in ottawa and this guy represents you you should be absolutely
00:14:24.460 embarrassed by this don't you want answers to like whether the emergency act was justified or
00:14:29.460 do you just want to like crap on the people who are standing out for bodily autonomy at the truck
00:14:34.180 or convoy like like which is it you know like like more and more the narrative is not even about 0.93
00:14:39.920 whether it was an emergency or not it's just like the the narrative of how these people in ottawa
00:14:45.100 have absolute contempt for regular people like that's what that's what that's what the narrative
00:14:51.540 is continuing to to grow into how the how people in ottawa just hate the rest of canada or hate
00:14:57.740 people that disagree with them to the fact that they'll do this they'll act like the i i i think
00:15:03.920 you know it is funny but it's not i'm it is funny but it's not actually like i am i'm i i'm i'm a
00:15:11.200 francophone and i'm like can't speak english sometimes like right now when it's like super
00:15:16.020 convenient i can't speak english disgusting man doing my very best to answer clear questions in 0.78
00:15:21.700 english you asked me a very specific question on a definition i'm saying ask me clarify in french
00:15:27.760 i'm glad to specify if it is yes or no the specificity of the nuance of a word i'm i'm
00:15:34.640 uncomfortable in response this is so ironic hey the specificity of a word like he's very he's
00:15:44.640 speaking so eloquently in english about how he can't speak english i'm watching this and it's
00:15:51.520 like surreal like this is like it's surreal like these are supposed to be the people representing
00:15:56.080 us representing the people and it's like a really crappy improv show it's a really crappy improv
00:16:04.740 scene that like would be hilarious like if this was an snl skit this would be hilarious oh my god
00:16:10.840 but unfortunately it's the people who represent us apparently but uh responding to your question
00:16:18.100 what of the words of that i put to you and there's a few so means verbal and environmental and slights
00:16:26.080 is confusing
00:16:33.520 is there which one are you confused about
00:16:42.160 i've explained multiple times that for me microaggressions i don't know if it's the right
00:16:46.160 terminology it's the terminology that you used bud but i've explained to the commission that
00:16:53.920 according to me the elements that were peripheral to the red zone i would describe them as
00:16:57.920 microaggressions such a charade man
00:17:23.920 This is a little side note there.
00:17:35.720 Entering a restaurant, being asked to leave, but then sitting with no right to stay, another microaggression.
00:17:42.200 Yeah, like no talk of how the mandates just ban you from going to a restaurant, right?
00:17:46.880 I actually, I have a little bit of footage from the trucker convoy where there's this restaurant in Byward Market
00:17:52.260 and there's a sign that says everyone is welcome here like it's part of like the branding of the
00:17:56.700 restaurant and i went there uh with igor after we had been filming because it was open and i'm like
00:18:02.240 oh hey can like can we sit down and they're like do you have your vax pass and we're like no and
00:18:06.820 it's like okay you can't you can't come to the restaurant so it's like okay so everyone is not
00:18:11.900 welcome here so maybe you shouldn't have that on the front of your restaurant but um yeah and it's
00:18:19.200 Once again, like the contempt from these people, it's like, are you going to talk about how unjabbed people are not even allowed to go into restaurants? 0.87
00:18:28.260 It's like, no, that's just this health and safety rule, right? Of course.
00:18:32.140 Battre un sans-abri. Un autre type d'agression.
00:18:38.320 Faire tellement de bruit, tellement de volume qu'on nécessite de fermer une garderie. Un autre type d'agression.
00:18:45.500 C'est comme ça que je les ai décrits, monsieur le commissaire.
00:18:47.660 anyway anyway the guy does a good job here uh the freedom corp guy um someone get him a pair of
00:19:07.500 these do you do you need this do you would you like one of these for when i question you in
00:19:14.380 english because i'm unfortunately incapable of speaking french and i i will do my very best to
00:19:19.460 answer in english but it was a very i don't need it thank you okay thank you so like are people
00:19:28.480 paying attention to this clown like i don't know man if once again i can't emphasize enough if
00:19:34.780 you're in ottawa and this guy represents you like you should send him a letter of how embarrassing 1.00
00:19:38.980 this is this is so embarrassing you had said that beating up a homeless person oh yeah this is a
00:19:46.800 good impression at least the translation uh that's what it was uh that's more of an assault so that's
00:19:53.460 an assault witnessed any homeless people get beaten up by protesters witness that if you recall
00:19:58.700 my intervention the shepherds of good hope is located at the corner of king edward and murray
00:20:05.300 there wasn't anyway we don't even have to react to this there wasn't any evidence this is going
00:20:10.100 to keep happening throughout the whole trial i'm sure which is like yeah someone got beat up someone
00:20:14.460 got hit someone got this and it's like do you have evidence of that is any of that on camera
00:20:18.480 no it's not it's just some story from somebody that is not corroborated with any sort of evidence
00:20:24.100 whatsoever uh someone was saying that the people were like uh defecating in the street and all this
00:20:29.580 it's total nonsense man it's just lies on lies on lies i don't even want to give it that much
00:20:33.400 attention i just found this behavior so so despicable uh but i do want to talk about
00:20:38.240 mckinney here for a second because if we go back to this moment of her like yeah yeah i told him to
00:20:45.820 speak uh french to avoid the question you know this sort of like snarkiness it's disgusting
00:20:54.000 and i didn't know i don't know much about this person but sure enough sure enough this is a cbc
00:21:00.500 headline catherine mckinney is trying not to think about making history it's such a it's such
00:21:06.460 a flattering headline from cbc and of course if elected 61 year old would be first trans non-binary
00:21:15.500 mayor of major canadian city oh i just found this out today and when i when i read this i was like
00:21:23.960 of course of course of course and once again though like this is not a good look not just for
00:21:33.460 this person named katherine but this is a bad look for trans people and non-binary people
00:21:40.240 because something that is often lofted at uh like a criticism that is often lofted at trans people
00:21:47.100 and non-binary people is like hey are you just using this uh this identity to like for political
00:21:53.820 gain are you using this identity like to deflect uh criticism and you know what are we seeing here
00:22:02.580 in this video we're seeing her encourage someone else to deflect criticism by hiding behind an
00:22:10.640 identity the francophone identity you know so it's like i i hate to say it but it's like
00:22:16.300 this you're making trans people look bad by this clip coming out of you on the hot mic encouraging
00:22:22.900 someone to pretend not to speak english you're you're encouraging encouraging them to fake it
00:22:29.220 it's very dishonest and it's a bad look for trans it's a bad look for you but it's also a bad look 0.93
00:22:35.220 for trans people and it plays into that stereotype that hey are you just uh you know
00:22:40.860 anyway there's a lot of criticisms towards trans and non-binary people doing that right hiding
00:22:47.480 behind their identity uh dishonestly for not just political gain but like you know for certain
00:22:53.020 certain advantages um but yeah before i go like let's just just to emphasize how uh this is gonna
00:23:00.520 be a short live stream thanks for tuning in um you know cbc which was such a flattering headline
00:23:06.640 katherine mckinney is trying not to think about making history like wow she's making history isn't 0.55
00:23:12.220 this great and i just wanted to uh juxtapose that with the two top james top articles i could find
00:23:18.800 on cbc court martial planned for soldier who criticized vaccine mandates led march to ottawa
00:23:26.040 like what is this even saying like this guy made history by marching across the country
00:23:32.200 you're gonna talk about how he made history cbc this canadian veteran in canada marching all the
00:23:38.680 way from vancouver from the terry fox statue although all the way to ottawa that's not you're
00:23:44.400 not going to mention the history making there you're not even going to mention his name uh well
00:23:48.620 he's right here but still it's like shrouded in crime uh court martial planned and then of course
00:23:55.020 the next one from cbc about james top is police make arrests after the uh after army reservist
00:24:01.660 leads march into ottawa it's totally despicable man like the institutions in this country
00:24:07.400 man it's like a i'm like i'm just a broken record at this point aren't i i'm just a broken record
00:24:14.120 at this point we all know this already we all know uh how despicable these institutions are
00:24:19.440 and yeah we got to keep doing what we're doing because more and more people will eventually
00:24:25.540 find out um and i'm hoping that more and more people see behavior like this for what it is
00:24:32.180 people faking people you know hiding behind some sort of woke identity instead of uh being honest
00:24:41.260 and my question at the beginning is like you know if this is if this was such an emergency then then
