Greg Wycliffe - Oct 7th...

00:00:00.320 October 7th. Today marks the anniversary for the worst terror attack in Israel in recent history.

00:00:07.840 Or you could say it marks the anniversary of the beginning of a genocide that's been happening for 70 years.

00:00:15.780 You see, either of those things I just said could piss off any number of people in either direction.

00:00:21.580 But what I'm concerned about is the fact that people on both sides of this issue probably would want me to face consequences for saying either of those things.

00:00:34.600 If you guys didn't know, the Conservative Party of Canada has voiced interest in using existing hate speech laws against the pro-Palestine protesters.

00:00:44.320 Let's enforce the existing laws in this country when it comes to hate crimes.

00:00:49.460 We already have laws that clearly govern hate speech in this country.

00:00:56.900 Against the backdrop of what's happening on our streets from coast to coast and the demonstrations and the protests,

00:01:04.500 there appears to be a lack of political will on law enforcement to actually enforce the existing laws.

00:01:13.220 What we really need, Mr. Speaker, is action.

00:01:16.320 This was actually in a debate to stop Bill C-63.

00:01:20.280 This was their opposition to Bill C-63 from the Conservative Party.

00:01:24.760 I also put out a survey to ask people about this if you think that pro-Palestine people should be thrown in jail or should be allowed to protest.

00:01:35.140 Knowing that a good number of my following followed the trucker convoy and was sympathetic to the trucker convoy,

00:01:40.220 I was quite disturbed to see these numbers, that two-thirds of people would support pro-Palestinian protesters to be thrown in jail.

00:01:47.900 And folks, remember what they did with people at the convoy?

00:01:52.100 Anybody who even showed up was equated as being a Nazi terrorist wants to kill Justin Trudeau.

00:01:57.880 That was the narrative that they were going with.

00:01:59.800 And they actually used that to justify throwing a lot of people in jail, if you didn't notice.

00:02:05.420 They told a bunch of lies about peaceful protesters.

00:02:08.680 Uh, you think that might be happening now with the people who are opposing Israel?

00:02:14.540 Just a thought. Think about it. Think about it.

00:02:17.900 And you might say, but Greg, they're terrorists.

00:02:20.000 They need to be thrown in jail.

00:02:21.040 This is what I like to call muddying the waters, okay?

00:02:25.900 People are muddying the waters so that any vicious Hezbollah-supporting radical Islamist who wants to kill all Jews,

00:02:36.100 equating that with myself or anybody who is even slightly critical of Netanyahu, the Likud party, Zionism, or Israel, or any Jew at all.

00:02:48.080 Uh, there's a lot of difference.

00:02:50.600 There's a lot of nuance between those two extreme opinions.

00:02:54.100 Being a radical, violent, terrorist Islamist who genuinely wants to kill all Jews, 0.64

00:03:00.660 and someone who is criticizing a Jewish person who's in politics.

00:03:05.900 Big difference.

00:03:07.620 I find it very frustrating that I even need to clarify this.

00:03:11.580 But really, it's not just a small phenomenon.

00:03:13.960 And as a conservative person, over the past year, I've noticed a number of conservative influencers

00:03:20.420 who, quite frankly, have just really thrown a lot of their so-called values and principles out the window

00:03:26.940 because they support Israel.

00:03:29.520 And now, all of a sudden, anybody who opposes Israel is one of these people who should be thrown in jail.

00:03:35.240 And I know I'll get a lot of shit for making this video, but that's kind of why I'm making it.

00:03:39.160 Uh, I started an initiative called SaveFreeSpeech.ca to stop Bill C-63.

00:03:45.420 And I've noticed there's a lot of dirty laundry on the conservative side of this conversation.

00:03:49.780 By the way, I think we have enough problems here in Canada as it is.

00:03:53.600 Uh, I don't know if I'm allowed to advocate for the problems that are happening in Canada to Canadians.

00:03:58.900 Or maybe I'm going to get cancelled for having the wrong opinion on a foreign conflict.

00:04:03.960 Is that what's going to happen?

00:04:05.160 I'm not allowed to say the wrong thing about a foreign conflict.

00:04:09.120 And to be clear, I completely disavow the silencing, the intimidation, and the censorship happening on both sides of this equation.

00:04:15.240 And what I find very disingenuous is both sides of people on this equation

00:04:19.280 think that the other side isn't doing any of that.

00:04:22.260 No, it's only the one side censoring, and then the other side's not censoring.

00:04:25.480 It's bullshit, okay?

00:04:26.520 Both of you guys would use Bill C-63 to weaponize it against your political opponents when it comes to this political agenda.

00:04:33.320 We all know it.

00:04:34.400 We've all seen it.

00:04:35.360 It's not even our Canadian government who would be weaponizing Bill C-63 against its citizens.

00:04:42.480 It would be different political factions weaponizing Bill C-63 against one another.

00:04:48.700 We saw this just last week.

00:04:49.980 I think a pro-Palestinian lawyer had two detectives show up at her house because she was making too many comments online

00:04:57.240 that were bothering too many Jewish lawyers online.

00:05:01.520 And sure, maybe there's more to the story here, but the fact of the matter is, is she didn't do anything criminal,

00:05:07.220 and there's a criminal investigation.

00:05:10.460 What?

00:05:10.860 And then, of course, you have the other side of this.

00:05:13.640 If you're not pro-Palestine enough, then you won't be let on Parliament Hill,

00:05:17.200 or you won't be allowed on the pro-Palestine side.

00:05:21.840 But this foreign conflict is affecting Canada,

00:05:24.400 because we have warring political factions present here in Canada,

00:05:28.180 and they are both pushing for Bill C-63.

00:05:30.880 We have the NCCM, a Muslim organization who wants to stop Islamophobia.

00:05:35.200 They're pushing for Bill C-63.

00:05:37.420 And we also have CJA, a Jewish advocacy group, also pushing for Bill C-63.

00:05:42.860 And I think it's quite obvious that a white Christian Canadian like me

00:05:46.640 could easily get caught in the crossfire by simply saying the wrong thing about a foreign conflict.

00:05:52.580 There are many vectors of attack on our freedom of speech,

00:05:56.240 and unfortunately, just having the wrong opinion on a foreign conflict is one of them.

00:06:01.020 Again, can I advocate for my country, my people, the place that I live in?

00:06:07.000 It's becoming a weird sort of purity test,

00:06:10.180 where it's an expectation of Canadians to better represent the needs and wants of a foreign country

00:06:17.180 than it is for the one that we're actually living in.

00:06:20.440 And you might say, Greg, this is different.

00:06:22.380 This is a hot war.

00:06:23.840 It's much more consequential.

00:06:25.840 Yeah, I mean, I don't want to be the one to stack up dead bodies, guys,

00:06:28.640 but look how many people are dying of MAID in this country or drug overdoses in this country.

00:06:35.140 There are so many detrimental, horrible things happening to Canadians right now today

00:06:40.540 that's completely getting ignored.

00:06:42.440 And instead, we're just sending millions overseas.

00:06:45.480 And look, I don't blame Ezra Levant, owner of Rebel News, who's Jewish.

00:06:50.280 I don't blame Melissa Lantzman, deputy leader of the Conservative Party, who's Jewish,

00:06:54.900 for standing up for Israel.

00:06:56.860 That's their people.

00:06:58.740 They're defending and fighting for their people.

00:07:01.840 But just when me as a Canadian stands up for my people and my country,

00:07:06.800 yeah, please back off.

00:07:08.940 Let me speak my mind.

00:07:10.520 And I'm not going to allow this sleight of hand where you're going to take freedom of speech away in Canada

00:07:17.200 just because you're going to villainize a group of angry Muslims 1.00

00:07:21.120 who happen to be getting bombed right now.

00:07:23.820 It's not going to happen.

00:07:24.840 So please stop doing that.

00:07:27.440 And there was a lot of talk of residential school denialism last week.

00:07:31.880 They want to put that in the law books, by the way.

00:07:34.120 An NDP person wants to put that in the law books,

00:07:36.460 downplaying, denying, or minimizing the genocide of natives.

00:07:42.140 Residential schools equals genocide.

00:07:43.820 And if you disagree with that, well, you could be a criminal.

00:07:46.620 Guess what, folks?

00:07:47.280 We already have a law on the books when it comes to historical denialism,

00:07:52.500 and it's called the Holocaust denialism laws.

00:07:56.440 For those who don't know, Holocaust denial laws were actually introduced by the Conservative Party some years ago.

00:08:02.680 It didn't pass right away, but it got slipped in in 2022 into the budget, if you believe it.

00:08:08.820 So now you cannot deny, downplay, or basically say the wrong thing about a historical event.

00:08:17.360 So every citizen, you're basically constantly doing a Holocaust test.

00:08:21.220 And if you fail, well, you might go to jail for getting a detail wrong about history.

00:08:26.040 And yeah, folks, if you're upset at the residential school denialism, you should be upset at this too.

00:08:32.560 The fact that there's already a legal precedent set that says,

00:08:36.420 well, we already have Holocaust denial laws,

00:08:38.120 why not just tack on another specific historical item that you can't say the wrong thing about?

00:08:42.940 It's patently absurd, and I really wish I would hear from Jordan Peterson on this,

00:08:46.860 because he was very principled on the free speech of pronouns.

00:08:49.740 You're not going to force me to say something.

00:08:51.460 But yet now we're being forced to only be able to say one thing about history.

00:08:56.260 Oh, actually, only one specific event.

00:08:58.280 Now, maybe close to two specific events in history that you can't say the wrong thing about.

00:09:04.000 Where are you, Mr. Peterson?

00:09:05.480 This seems like a pretty easy one to stand up for when it comes to freedom of speech and also freedom of thought.

00:09:12.460 Just looking this up here.

00:09:15.140 Jordan Peterson works for Daily Wire.

00:09:17.980 Who owns Daily Wire?

00:09:19.940 Interesting.

00:09:21.460 And if no one has noticed this yet, you know, we have both the pro-Muslim side or pro-Palestine side and the pro-Jewish side.

00:09:28.720 Both of these sides are saying, our land, our blood, we're going to fight to defend it.

00:09:33.840 That is our birthright.

00:09:35.620 Do you know how much trouble I would get in if I said that as a white Canadian?

00:09:42.320 Our blood, our land, and we're going to fight to defend it.

00:09:46.800 I would be called the worst of the worst.

00:09:48.420 I'd probably get investigated by CSIS if they're not investigating me already.

00:09:53.780 But it's just funny how our political class and the media totally celebrate that when it's foreign countries.

00:09:59.380 But when we try to say our blood, our land in Canada, we literally get demonized as being the worst possible person ever.

00:10:07.320 Very...

00:10:07.960 Hmm.

00:10:08.880 I wonder why that is.

00:10:10.600 It's crazy.

00:10:12.060 And I'm curious.

00:10:13.080 Can we focus?

00:10:14.440 Can I advocate for my people in my country?

00:10:17.840 Can we prioritize this country that we live in?

00:10:22.080 And people will say, oh no, but we have to stop the angry Muslims from coming into this country. 1.00

00:10:28.860 I made a video about this last year.

00:10:30.400 Guess what?

00:10:31.180 When you support Israel bombing Muslim countries, more angry Muslims show up in Canada. 1.00

00:10:38.460 That's kind of part of the whole thing.

00:10:40.440 When you advocate or support war or more bombings here or there, there's going to be angry Muslims that show up because you're bombing their countries.

00:10:49.460 I'm kind of annoyed that I have to explain this to people.

00:10:52.720 It's kind of basic, you know, cause effect, right?

00:10:56.060 But it's very simple.

00:10:57.920 Am I allowed to advocate for my interests in my country, the way that these people are advocating for their foreign issues?

00:11:04.940 Like if I went to Israel and said, hey, over a hundred churches burnt down in Canada.

00:11:11.320 Don't you care about what's happening in Canada?

00:11:14.020 Hey, tens of thousands of people are getting medical assistance and dying because they're depressed or poor.

00:11:21.680 Or did you see how many people are overdosing in Canada from foreign imported fentanyl?

00:11:27.540 Something tells me they wouldn't really care that much and I would not blame them.

00:11:31.700 Yet here we are as Canadians trying to pick one side or the other and say the right thing about it or else we're going to get in trouble.

00:11:39.360 And yeah, quick note to some of these conservatives.

00:11:41.820 Ever since October 7th last year, a lot of people have either unfollowed me or blocked me or they've just completely changed their tune.

00:11:51.000 And they forgot their conservative values all of a sudden because of this Israel-Palestine conflict.

00:11:58.440 Dave Rubin, for example, wrote a book called Don't Burn This Book, Libertarian.

00:12:02.420 He loves his freedom.

00:12:03.640 Then all of a sudden, after October 7th, pro-Palestinians were protesting in France and Macron said, you know what?

00:12:11.720 We might have to ban these protests and throw these people in jail.

00:12:14.280 And Dave Rubin said, maybe the West does have a chance, implying that, yeah, we should throw peaceful protesters in jail.

00:12:22.860 Gadsad blocked me once he started to do the same thing that he accuses leftists of, which is muddying the waters of speech and muddying the waters of identity politics and making it all about fighting for your tribe.

00:12:35.700 Tribalism bad, unless we're dealing with Israel, in which case tribalism is good. 1.00

00:12:43.340 And I actually, if you point out why I'm a hypocrite, I'm going to block you.

00:12:47.460 I also thought this tweet from Gadsad was very disturbing, where he basically said, ha ha, yeah, you're funny, bro.

00:12:53.280 Here's an exploding pager to kill you with.

00:12:56.040 I mean, I guess it's funny if you're like an IDF soldier who is bloodlusting to kill his political enemies, then it's hilarious.

00:13:04.760 Then it's a very funny joke.

00:13:06.220 And of course, I have to call out Mr. Ezra Levant.

00:13:09.260 There is a strong anti-immigrant sentiment that has been growing in this country, because if you look at the city centers, there's so many people.

00:13:16.660 We're getting upset at East Indians spitting in our Uber delivery drinks. 1.00

00:13:20.680 But folks, what does Mr. Ezra Levant say?

00:13:26.380 He says we need to deport Hamas. 0.92

00:13:30.100 Deport Hamas. 0.92

00:13:32.100 So does that mean deport everyone who wants to kill all Jews or everybody who is critical of Israel?

00:13:39.600 So does it matter if they were born here or not?

00:13:43.460 You want to kick people out of the country based on their political beliefs.

00:13:47.360 And very unspecific beliefs, by the way.

00:13:51.000 Anyone who shows up to the...

00:13:52.200 If I'm a Palestinian whose family got blown up in Palestine, and I'm upset about that, and I go to the protest.

00:13:59.920 You want to deport that family?

00:14:02.220 What, back to Palestine so they can get blown up again and then come here? 1.00

00:14:05.740 Why are they anti-Semitic?

00:14:07.120 It makes no sense, Ezra.

00:14:09.540 It makes no sense.

00:14:10.800 I just wanted to call that out because it's really been bothering me.

00:14:14.560 You seem to be kind of using this sentiment that people have of, hey, we need to stop mass migration.

00:14:20.780 And you're saying, no, let's just focus on Muslims and people who oppose Israel.

00:14:26.560 Let's kick those people out first. 1.00

00:14:28.460 It's very interesting.

00:14:29.440 All of these conservatives, their values and their principles.

00:14:32.140 Actually, you know what?

00:14:32.980 I believe in freedom.

00:14:34.360 Actually, if they have the wrong opinion, kick them out of the country.

00:14:36.860 I don't even care where they came from, if they were born here.

00:14:39.960 If they oppose Israel too much, just kick them out already. 0.81

00:14:44.520 Yes, I'm a conservative.

00:14:45.620 I'm principled.

00:14:47.620 Yeah, I don't know who's buying this.

00:14:49.740 But anyway, and folks, I did not want to make this video.

00:14:53.080 I did not want to talk about this.

00:14:54.880 This is going to upset a lot of people.

00:14:56.840 I'm going to get called probably everything anti-Semitic.

00:14:59.300 I'm going to get called Islamophobic, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:15:02.580 I don't care anymore.

00:15:04.140 Okay?

00:15:04.460 I don't care anymore.

00:15:05.260 The whole purpose of this project is not just to stop Bill C-63, not just to expose these

00:15:10.780 government-funded Antifa journalists, but it's to inspire bravery in Canadians.

00:15:16.780 Okay?

00:15:17.180 Way too many people are pussy afraid of just saying what's plainly on their mind. 0.99

00:15:23.680 We can't allow ourselves to be bullied by these tyrants or intimidated by people from

00:15:28.440 either side of this conflict.

00:15:30.300 We have the freedom of speech in this country, and real Canadians want to keep that.

00:15:34.600 They don't want this foreign conflict to be used as an excuse to silence us or, God forbid,

00:15:40.160 pass laws like Bill C-63, which would prevent Canadians from simply speaking their mind on

00:15:46.880 a foreign topic.

00:15:48.020 So if you have the balls, and you're a real Canadian, and you want to stand up for free speech, then

00:15:53.540 please check out savefreespeech.ca.

00:15:55.580 You can learn all about Bill C-63 there.

00:15:58.820 And also you can support our documentary, which is going to expose a lot of the scoundrels behind

00:16:04.380 this censorship legislation, and also how we can dismantle some of the more antagonistic groups

00:16:10.220 who try to smear the reputations of Canadians like me, who are brave enough to stand up for the truth.

00:16:15.100 Thanks for watching, and thanks for your support.
