I get called a misogynist, a biggest, all things under the sun.
00:00:06.560
It might not look like it on the outside, but I am.
00:00:09.040
And I think people are scared of being labelled now.
00:00:12.580
Everybody's scared of not feeling like they belong because of their opinion.
00:00:16.180
And I think that's part of the reason why everything is being sheltered,
00:00:21.300
being blocked, being sugar-coated, and it's not okay.
00:00:27.740
So I'm here with Pamela, and you are a PPC candidate.
00:00:32.300
And I believe you said you had your green card as well?
00:00:36.160
I have my Native status card, my Indian status card in Canada.
00:00:40.020
Between the programs of international students and foreign workers
00:00:43.900
and the refugee program and, like, illegal immigrants,
00:00:47.500
some people are going as far as saying we need to deport some of these people.
00:00:54.040
It's the only way to put our economy back on track in any realistic timeline
00:01:01.560
that's going to keep more Canadians off the streets.
1.00
00:01:03.920
Right now we're literally opening our doors to kick our own citizens out
00:01:10.620
And we have families, just outside of my riding, but we have families hiding in the forests
00:01:17.320
because they're scared their kids are going to get removed from them
00:01:19.740
because they can no longer provide for their children.
00:01:24.480
I mean, the housing crisis, it's maybe not necessarily a housing crisis.
00:01:28.340
There's a lot of empty units, but it's because people can't afford anything anymore.
00:01:32.880
And that almighty dollar has made people greedy.
00:01:37.860
Everybody's taking a benefit to hire a foreign worker.
1.00
00:01:41.140
Everybody's taking a benefit to educate a foreign student.
00:01:45.480
But what about everybody here that needs jobs and needs education?
00:01:58.280
And I, I hate the thought of that because I'm a person, I'm an empath.
00:02:06.960
And that has screwed me over more times than not.
00:02:10.440
But the only thing that's going to protect my children's future
00:02:15.620
and my future grandchildren's future is to make Canada great again.
00:02:23.640
And I mean, that means we need our culture back.
00:02:26.600
And that means some of the other cultures need to go
1.00
00:02:30.840
and find our identity again because everybody's lost.
00:02:43.260
but also DEI being pushed just as hard at the same time.
00:02:47.080
I think Canadians as a whole didn't understand the impact
00:02:51.500
that the immigration that they were speaking of
00:03:03.640
They're struggling to put food on the table for their families.
00:03:06.460
And I can speak on my own part with a broken foot
00:03:19.460
And there were busloads of immigrants coming in
00:03:32.880
They've got somebody speaking in other languages
00:03:36.160
and they're siphoning them through this system.
00:03:40.460
well, I've been sitting here for an hour and a half.
00:03:49.480
but I watched many people in that waiting room's eyes open that day.
00:03:52.460
And I have had many people comment on the waiting lines
00:03:57.880
Like you go by at seven o'clock at night in some areas
00:04:08.080
regular everyday issues that they need to deal with
00:04:18.220
are struggling to get access to those resources
00:04:20.800
because we are now tailoring to people we're bringing in.
00:04:30.200
and they can't put their kids in extracurriculars
00:04:36.940
and buy whatever it is the kids want for dinner that night
00:04:43.520
And like it's just, it's, you walk into a store now
00:04:47.180
and you're lucky to get somebody that can speak
00:04:48.940
one of our two national languages and it's scary.
00:04:52.220
What do you think of Truth and Reconciliation Day?
00:05:03.340
because it's talking about a lot of Canadian history
00:05:07.340
that has not been spoken about in a very long time.
00:05:32.700
But I also believe that sometimes there's negative light
00:05:42.360
And I think for me, it's a deep dig to my roots,
00:05:48.340
where the country came from, and most importantly,
00:05:53.260
that people didn't come here and wipe out our ancestors.
00:06:00.540
We actually did live and coincide and get along together.
00:06:13.280
And how can we better the recognition of the day?
00:06:18.720
Can it be more of a celebration instead of a solemn day?
00:06:21.400
Does everything need to have a negative connotation to it?
00:06:31.100
if they celebrate that the way they used to in schools.
00:06:35.340
it wasn't all just about slavery and negativity.
00:06:46.320
Maybe it needs to be something that's more than just a day
00:07:07.000
Like you were kind of saying, it only focuses on the negative.
00:07:21.600
We're trying to make history what we want people to think history was.
00:07:31.460
There is always the deep, dark, what's gone on actually,
00:07:37.960
There's A and B, but there is what happened in the middle
00:07:42.060
And I think not a lot of that is being spoken of.
00:07:59.900
And I think that if the people in power keep people in turmoil,
00:08:06.900
And I think that's part of the reason we don't have access to the information
00:08:11.560
Why it's not okay for us to have free speech right now
00:08:16.120
and to be able to talk without being worried about being...
00:08:20.840
I get called a misogynist, a biggest, all things under the sun.
00:08:28.060
It might not look like it on the outside, but I am.
00:08:30.600
And I think people are scared of being labelled now.
00:08:34.100
Everybody's scared of not feeling like they belong because of their opinion.
00:08:37.520
And I think that's part of the reason why everything is being sheltered,
00:08:52.320
So how can we divide people, make them highlight their differences,
00:08:56.580
make people highlight what's been negative about their cultures
00:09:02.680
And how can we make them not want to get along?
00:09:11.520
that people didn't settle here and everybody killed everybody
0.98
00:09:22.320
I think of statues of Sir John A. Macdonald being torn down.
00:09:26.060
And I have my own opinion, and that's, I really feel like this day
00:09:30.300
is almost about justifying the resentment and hatred of, like, our European history.
00:09:37.600
I would have to say I would probably agree with you
00:09:41.480
because it has that negative connotation to it.
00:09:43.680
Because we're talking about only the bad things that happened,
00:09:46.500
and now it's almost like a condescending joke of every time you go in anywhere,
00:09:53.280
a treaty is written, read, or there's an acknowledgement read.
00:09:57.240
You have a Maxis4Me pin on, so you're a PPC supporter.
00:10:13.340
I couldn't get on board with the policies and the platform
00:10:20.500
So I sat down, like a level-headed Canadian, I thought,
00:10:27.980
the only one that settled with my morals and values,
00:10:30.600
and what I stand for as a person, was the People's Party.
00:10:35.940
and asked if they needed a candidate in my area
00:10:38.200
because I was worried we didn't have representation.
00:10:40.880
At which point I stepped in with our old candidate,
00:10:53.560
and I'm like, hang on, you've known me for how many years?
00:10:56.400
Like, no, this is the party that when I read every platform
00:10:59.480
and I looked at what my morals and values are as a person
00:11:03.780
it was the only party I could actually vote for consciously,
00:11:13.660
And, like, the People's Party platform needs to be read.
00:11:17.000
Don't be afraid to speak about what you believe.
