00:00:00.000 We finally hear the sentencing of Chris Barber and Tamera Lit.
00:00:03.740 And sure, they're not going to jail, but they're going to be on house arrest for over a year?
00:00:08.500 This is not a win.
00:00:10.140 People are saying, oh, well, at least they're not going to jail.
00:00:12.800 I just refuse to eat the shit.
00:00:15.680 I'm not going to eat the shit and say that I'm enjoying it.
00:00:18.120 They're being treated like criminals for standing up for the unvaccinated
00:00:23.120 when they could not even travel to leave the country,
00:00:26.360 couldn't even hold down a job or even go to a restaurant in many cases.
00:00:30.000 Treating them like criminals.
00:00:31.500 And of course, you can obviously compare it to the other protests that are actually violent,
00:00:36.140 where people are actually committing crimes like vandalism and other things.
00:00:40.200 And I'm making this video because in general, guys, we need to have higher standards for ourselves.
00:00:44.480 And accepting this, no, we need to do the opposite.
00:00:49.120 We need to not accept this at all.
00:00:50.840 And you know what pisses me off?
00:00:52.280 You know who's telling us to eat the shit right now?
00:00:55.380 The Conservative Party of Canada.
00:00:57.500 Because they're not going to talk about this verdict.
00:01:00.000 Pierre Polyev was there to capitalize on the convoy when it was popular.
00:01:04.500 He actually rode the popularity of the convoy to win the leadership of the Conservative Party.
00:01:10.540 And he has once, one time, one time tweeted about Tamara Lich and Chris Barton.
00:01:16.400 And with the silence from the Conservative Party, it's like,
00:01:20.060 oh, well, you know, the sentence wasn't that bad.
00:01:22.740 So shut the fuck up and eat the shit. 1.00
00:01:25.100 I'm not eating the shit.
00:01:26.040 And everybody knows, yeah, we get it.
00:01:28.040 We don't like the Liberal Party.
00:01:29.240 We don't like Carney.
00:01:30.180 We don't like these institutions.
00:01:32.180 Are you going to talk about when your base or Conservative-minded people are thrown in jail
00:01:37.300 or put on house arrest and treated like criminals?
00:01:40.180 No, you're not going to talk about that.
00:01:42.000 You're not going to stand up for us when that happens.
00:01:44.420 And to be fair, there are, like, two or three Conservative MPs who will hopefully bring this up.
00:01:49.980 But why isn't it coming out of the leader's mouth?
00:01:52.140 And then it's the same old excuse, well, it's not popular and it's not good for Polyev if he talks about...
00:01:58.420 It's not good for Polyev?
00:01:59.860 I don't really care if it's good for Polyev or not.
00:02:02.620 I'm a Conservative-minded person.
00:02:04.280 When I see Conservative-minded people being treated like criminals for no good reason,
00:02:09.020 standing up for our fundamental freedoms, which is exactly what the Conservative Party should be doing,
00:02:14.620 like, isn't it weird that this is a mindset that Conservative supporters have?
00:02:19.020 Well, that wouldn't be good for Polyev's political career.
00:02:21.880 I don't care about Polyev's political career.
00:02:24.640 Are you on his PR team or something like that?
00:02:27.940 Are you, like, the recipient of his pension?
00:02:30.620 Why are you so concerned with Polyev's political career?
00:02:33.080 Maybe you should be considered concerned with the future of the nation?
00:02:37.220 And this is what I mean, like, something's gotta give.
00:02:39.260 If we don't start pressuring this Conservative Party to speak up for us,
00:02:42.980 then what are we gonna do?
00:02:43.980 Sit on our hands and wait for three years till the next election?
00:02:48.320 Again?
00:02:49.080 That's what you wanna do?
00:02:50.080 That's the plan.
00:02:51.060 And I know he's made a lot of good content in the past,
00:02:53.080 but I do wanna pick on Aaron Gunn real quick.
00:02:54.980 He is a recent new Member of Parliament for the Conservative Party.
00:02:58.740 One of his documentaries a couple years ago,
00:03:00.540 The End of Free Speech in Canada.
00:03:02.120 No one from the Trucker Convoy was mentioned
00:03:06.500 in this documentary about free speech in Canada.
00:03:09.140 And if you go to his Twitter feed today,
00:03:10.540 he's not talking about Tamara Lich and Chris Barber
00:03:12.260 because freedom of speech, I guess,
00:03:14.760 freedom of protest doesn't apply to the convoy
00:03:18.140 when you couldn't even, like, leave the country
00:03:19.840 if you were unvaccinated or something like that.
00:03:21.780 That free speech doesn't count.
00:03:23.260 And I'm open to being told that I'm crazy,
00:03:25.620 but how is the Conservative Party,
00:03:28.200 by being quiet on this issue,
00:03:30.500 on this legal precedent being set,
00:03:32.560 of being under house arrest
00:03:34.180 and being treated like a criminal
00:03:35.460 for being a conservative-minded person
00:03:37.880 who leads a protest,
00:03:39.100 how is the Conservative Party
00:03:40.320 not also telling us to eat the shit
00:03:42.480 by being quiet on this,
00:03:44.060 by not saying anything on this?
00:03:45.400 They want us to eat the shit
00:03:46.720 just as much as the Liberal Party
00:03:48.280 and the Liberal institutions
00:03:49.180 want us to eat the shit.
00:03:50.580 Change my mind.
