00:02:10.760of what I understand of the situation,
00:02:13.940which is you were talking talking to certain indigenous people who had an interpretation of history which actually dared to give some sympathy to the residential schools in question or possibly just shedding some some doubt on the sort of oversimplified version that it's all about genocide and and and killing native kids from the past.
00:02:39.480um did you want to kind of fill in the blanks for us harrison because i know that there was
00:02:45.820kind of like a cancel campaign as well with um with uh journalists probably reporting this
00:02:53.700particular podcast on spotify and then getting you uh getting the actual spotify episode
00:02:59.860podcast taken down um for for questioning history yeah that's right um so basically
00:03:08.660we just we had an interview with a man named Rodney Clifton and Rodney Clifton lived at and
00:03:16.840worked for a residential school two residential schools actually he met his wife who was a student
00:03:23.340at the residential school he worked at um one of them in Alberta and one of them in the
00:03:29.200Northwest Territories and he had he's a professor he works at the University of Manitoba this is not
00:03:37.320somebody who is um talking without an understanding of the situation not somebody who doesn't have
00:03:44.980a background to talk about these issues he has written extensively about indigenous issues and
00:03:51.020of course he has a deep personal and family connection to the residential school system
00:03:55.400you can maybe even say he was an expert on right exactly exactly he was the he was an expert but
00:04:01.700Greg, he was the wrong type of expert, which I'm guessing will be what is discussed on this
00:04:07.420space tonight. But what happened was I wanted to have a conversation with him about the good
00:04:14.500things that happened at these schools because not everything that happened at these schools
00:04:18.900was bad. There was a lot that was bad. There was more bad than there was good. And my belief is
00:04:25.800that the residential school system as a policy, as it was a failed policy, because the conditions
00:04:32.020of Indigenous Canadians today, that they live in today, the majority of them, are not positive,
00:04:38.960it's bad. And so clearly, if the idea behind the residential school system was to integrate them
00:04:44.220and to give them, you know, was to put them on in a stronger economic position, that was a failure.
00:04:51.240Now, regardless of that, and regardless, besides all of what we know of all the bad things that
00:04:55.580happened at these schools, all the abuses that happened. Many people who went to these schools,
00:04:59.980including my guest's wife, look at that time very fondly and have good things to say about
00:05:06.760those schools. And you can find endless examples of people talking about all the bad that happened,
00:05:12.360but you can't really find much at all about people talking about the good things that
00:05:17.280happened at these schools. So that was the objective of the interview. And my guest made
00:05:22.040very clear that he believes some good things happened and some bad things happened this was
00:05:27.320not just this was not you know a denialist perspective it was simply a a discussion on
00:05:34.440on the history of what happened um ultimately what happened was that nobody took any issue with it
00:05:39.640it didn't even get that many views it didn't get that much attention for the for the first two and
00:05:44.280a half weeks that it was released ultimately um it caught the attention of the anti-hate i'm not
00:05:52.680gonna i'm not gonna say the anti-hate network but the the journalists that surround the anti-hate
00:05:58.040movement in canada it caught their attention and through some activism and some uh some emails to
00:06:05.320spotify spotify ended up pulling the podcast from the plot from the platform citing hate speech
00:06:13.560citing uh not even just hate speech but even worse really citing that this was that this
00:06:19.000was um you know violent rhetoric and so we just basically uh use it as an opportunity to
00:06:27.560further the you know further the reach of the conversation youtube hasn't pulled it because it
00:06:31.400isn't hate speech even youtube of all places hasn't pulled it it's still up on x it's still
00:06:37.480up on youtube it's still up on other places spotify pulled it down because activists took an issue
00:06:42.120with it and they tried to silence this conversation from being had so um that's where that's really
00:06:48.760what happened and it's a remarkable story and it's really um i think it speaks to this this
00:06:55.560attack on free speech that we are all living through right now which is only going to get
00:06:58.840worse with bill c63 well hopefully that's not going to pass that bill because it would really
00:07:05.000really truly be a nightmare that's why i started say freespeech.ca i really appreciate you uh
00:07:11.240Checking out our website and featuring it on in your video on Bill C-63 as well.
00:07:17.880You know, have we seen sort of resistance to this, like mainstream resistance of like, hey, this this this person has been this podcast has been censored and taken down for simply the wrong interpretation of history?
00:07:31.400uh have we seen any conservative figures with a platform uh conservative politicians of any stripe
00:07:38.140uh speaking up for you or kind of calling out this uh this this flagrant censorship in the name of
00:07:44.420stopping hate no um and i think that shouldn't be surprising to anybody because
00:07:50.940because it was the entire house of commons if you were if you will recall that uh in my opinion
00:07:58.200shamelessly voted alongside Leah Gazan's motion back in 2021, condemning the country for committing
00:08:06.520genocide. Really, something you do in the House of Commons that you can't come back from.
00:08:12.160Once you make that statement, once you've decided to stay silent on a motion like that and allow it
00:08:18.220to unanimously pass, that says a lot. And this is an issue that nobody wants to fight. I've been
00:08:24.620surprised really about the direction and the approach that many establishment conservative
00:08:32.280figures have decided to take on this issue. To highlight, well, frankly, let's just reframe this.
00:08:39.660To say that the residential school system was not a genocide and to combat claims that it is,
00:08:45.700that it was a genocide and to stand up for Canadian history and stand up for the truth
00:08:49.360is not denying the residential school system and it's not a bad thing to do it is a good thing to
00:08:55.860do because standing up for the truth is is what you have to do uh if if we just if we just wish
00:09:03.920that this issue would go away quietly um and we just hope that once we allow you know we're not
00:09:10.140going to fight this issue we're going to allow the far left in canada to accuse everybody of
00:09:16.520committing genocide, accuse the country of being illegitimate and being founded on racism,
00:09:21.340they'll eventually stop and we'll all just be able to move on with our lives. They won't stop.
00:09:25.640They won't stop unless an effort is put up and a defense is put up of Canadian history. Because
00:09:31.340this residential school system now, but they'll keep going for different issues. They'll keep
00:09:35.460going after different historical figures and different historical events and keep twisting
00:09:41.060the narrative so people don't want to fight this who are in the mainstream if you could call them
00:09:47.940that i think that's a big mistake but i will also say just give it time look at where we're at now
00:09:53.740with immigration this was this was the issue with immigration for a long time establishment
00:09:59.160conservatives didn't want to fight about it but with enough pressure eventually people do start
00:10:05.880speaking up and i think greg with the pressure that you're putting on with the bill c63 it'll
00:10:10.580get more attention it's it's required um and i think that with this issue if there is enough
00:10:17.180pressure and it is smart pressure it's not out and out denying something that we know to be true
00:10:23.960but it is saying that this was not a genocide and it was saying that you can't go around and
00:10:30.720claim that mass graves were found in residential schools which are not which is not true obviously
00:10:35.860if enough people start defending history and defending the truth then mainstream conservatives
00:10:42.320might eventually start speaking up yeah yeah and it really does feel sort of patently absurd
00:10:49.360the direction that things are going right now where it's almost like all citizens of the country
00:10:54.660are under some sort of tests like they're students like it's a history test and it's like if you get
00:10:59.560that all if you got the fact wrong oh you're in trouble and it's like that uh i'm sorry like can
00:11:04.080are we allowed to be let's say just for sake of argument let's say we got it wrong is that so bad
00:11:08.840just to just to get the facts wrong on history like we all need to be super up to snuff with
00:11:14.060with our Canadian history and it's funny because you know I don't know how thorough the sort of
00:11:18.140you know citizen test is right now for for newcomers or immigrants but it's funny that
00:11:24.980even if you've lived here your whole life if you get this question wrong on the history of
00:11:30.860residential schools then you will be condemned for it but i do want to go back to something
00:11:34.480because you know i'm constantly doing research i've been tumbling down this rabbit hole of
00:11:39.460canadian politics for i mean it's only been five years but it's felt like at least a decade here
00:11:43.960but you you mentioned and i must have missed this you said that they passed a motion in parliament
00:11:50.600for basically everyone to agree that yes it was it was genocidal and i solemnly swear as a
00:11:57.120conservative MP that it was genocide and were genocide. Could you, could you kind of revisit
00:12:01.920what, what that motion specifically was? Cause I find that very, uh, very interesting. Cause you
00:12:06.140basically said this, this is why a conservative politician will not go back on this, this sort
00:12:11.260of, uh, pledge they made to this version of history. Am I getting this right? Absolutely.
00:12:16.820This is extremely important. And I think that, you know, I, I look at this decision the same
00:12:22.080way I look at, and this is all, this all happened under Aaron O'Toole's leadership of the party,
00:12:27.820but I look at this the same way I believe it's called Bill C-4, that, that, that trans, that
00:12:32.940trans bill where the conservatives voted for it. And once you make that statement, you really have
00:12:38.540a lot to answer for. This motion was a unanimous motion that Leah Gazan, the woman who is now
00:12:47.020pushing the residential school denial bill. She proposed a unanimous consent motion declaring
00:12:55.000the residential school system to be genocide. And not a single member of parliament in the
00:13:02.760House of Commons spoke out against the motion and opposed the motion, meaning it passed
00:13:08.180unanimously. And it's basically the government condemning itself for genocide. And the reality
00:13:16.600is here, I'm not a historian. I'm not a trained historian. But historians completely oppose this
00:13:25.880idea that the residential school system was genocide. And they back it up with significant
00:13:29.820amounts of evidence and very strong arguments. They do not believe the residential school system
00:13:36.740was genocide. I agree with the historians. It was not genocide. But not a single member of parliament,
00:13:42.680no conservative, no Bloc Québécois member, clearly no liberal or NDP member either,
00:13:49.200opposed this NDP motion declaring the residential school system genocide. And that is why you will
00:13:55.560see Jagmeet Singh, for example, very casually throw around the word genocide whenever it comes
00:14:01.480to the residential school system. Not even Justin Trudeau will do that in his social media posts.
00:14:07.820Jagmeet Singh does it because that is the direction that the NDP have decided to take.
00:14:11.520the most radical position on this and is is the is the sort of phrasing and verbiage of this motion
00:14:20.420that simple residential schools were genocide period surely there's like more something more
00:14:27.900specific than that like it's just residential school equals genocide that was it
00:14:32.460do you know uh yes absolutely you can search it up and i'm going to try to find you the article
00:14:41.000um uh and yes that's exactly what it was okay residential school right uh genocide motion
00:14:49.120from 2021 mps back motion calling on government to recognize the residential school program as
00:14:55.260genocide from the cbc right and while we have while we have you here again i'm always trying
00:15:00.240to do more research and understanding how this system this amazing system here in canada works
00:15:05.620emotion is not a bill it's not legislation but does what does it really mean like is there sort
00:15:14.280of legal ramifications for it or it's just sort of like an official footnote that's made in our
00:15:19.680parliament like you know what i'm asking like like what is the what is the real significance
00:15:23.780of uh of emotion and and how can it be used i guess um in the future if not just for some sort
00:15:31.620of like piece of paper with a talking point of like, we agreed on this. Well, it's, it is,
00:15:36.900it is symbolic, but it's also extremely important because Leah Gazan, the woman who proposed that
00:15:43.040motion back in, I'm sorry, it was October of 2022, not 2021. Leah Gazan went on, I believe it was
00:15:50.680CTV last weekend after she had proposed the legislation to criminalize residential school
00:15:58.420denialism. And she brought up her successful motion from 2022, saying all the MPs agreed
00:16:05.640this was genocide. So why would anybody now oppose a bill that would criminalize people
00:16:11.860who disagree that it was a genocide? So she used the motion. She's now using the motion
00:16:17.900to bolster her argument to pass what is clearly, or attempt to try to pass what is clearly
00:16:24.020a constitutionally a violation of the canadian constitution and completely ridiculous censorship
00:16:31.620legislation on history so it's it's symbolic this motion but it's it's written in canadian history
00:16:38.800now that this specific parliament said this about the residential school system and it can be used
00:16:44.880to silence anyone who wants to speak out about it so it's deeply significant awesome well thank you
00:16:51.240so much for your time uh mr harrison i do want to move on to jim but just one last question before
00:16:56.880you go um let's talk about this sort of immense pressure that politicians and i guess the
00:17:04.820conservative party were under back then and and i guess like this insane sort of i like to call it
00:17:10.160this sort of incestuous relationship between the canadian media and the political class
00:17:14.300where you know it takes two weeks for them to convince us all to stay inside during lockdowns
00:17:20.000it takes two weeks to convince us all that our history is genocidal and everybody in the
00:17:24.020parliament buildings agrees with it um you know what like if you if we look back when that happened
00:17:30.420it was oh you know a hundred however many bodies were found in Kamloops and all this was kind of
00:17:34.900happening why do you think it's just so easy for the conservative party to just kind of cave
00:17:40.200to this media pressure or maybe you could just kind of comment on this sort of like
00:17:44.780zeitgeist that our entire country is under with um with with the sort of like just being so
00:17:50.920obedient to anything that the cbc news or ctv news says to us
00:17:55.560i think well two things immediately jump out to me the first is that the conservatives have
00:18:05.440don't feel any competition or pressure to their right so they're not concerned about
00:18:13.160they're not concerned about appeasing their base and not even just appeasing their base,
00:18:17.660but they're not even concerned about abandoning their base on these issues, given the legacy
00:18:21.960media have so much influence and they use it to bash the heads of conservatives into
00:18:31.280Their perception is that they don't have any pressure to their right and they're not concerned
00:18:35.000about losing support to a party which they don't see as competitive.
00:18:39.320I think the second thing is that in our system, at a political level, as everybody knows, MPs cannot vote out of line with the direction of their party leader, which I think is a bad thing for our system, obviously.
00:18:56.820Because an Ontario Conservative MP from the GTA thinks completely differently on specific issues than a rural Manitoba Conservative MP would.
00:19:10.660And that's perfectly normal because Canada is a very large country.
00:19:14.500And however, both MPs will have to vote exactly the same way if that's what the leader wants.
00:19:20.560If the leader says we're voting this way and we're not going to allow any free votes, well, that's just how it is.
00:19:28.420And they never allow free votes. Rarely will they ever allow free votes.
00:19:32.760So MPs just have to fall in line. And this trickles down into what MPs can say.
00:19:38.980These conservative MPs are not allowed to do interviews.
00:19:44.000They're not allowed to do, they're not allowed to post what they want to post.
00:19:47.960Everything has to go through Pierre Paulyov's office.
00:19:52.080Everything has to be, you know, centrally governed.
00:19:55.380And so you're really not going to get to see the differences.
00:19:57.780You're really not going to, you're not going to get to see MPs expressing how they really
00:22:06.900the criminal speech charges for for what they for what they believe exactly and i could have been
00:22:12.240charged on my day so go ahead well maybe we'll go to gym now for yeah we're gonna go to gym uh but
00:22:16.940thanks a lot harrison um if you want to have any last words before you go um or how we could you
00:22:23.200know apply pressure with the with safe free speech.ca let me know um just before you leave
00:22:28.460yeah i gotta i gotta bounce but uh thanks for doing this greg and um thanks for also advocating
00:22:37.820against bill c63 it's extremely important awesome amazing thank you harrison faulkner of true north
00:22:44.340thanks for stopping in appreciate it uh appreciate what you're doing there as well um we're gonna
00:22:49.720move on to jim jim mcmurtry murt murtry sorry abbotsford teacher fired for refusing to lie to
00:22:58.020kids and if i'm not mistaken uh jim you're really the canary in the coal mine here um in 2021 i'm
00:23:06.600pretty sure around the same time that this news first broke of a whole bunch of bodies found in
00:23:13.700kamloops um and in your testimony you said it only took 30 minutes from you saying something in a
00:23:19.980classroom from you being dragged out if you could uh jim kind of just tell your story from from the
00:23:26.740beginning of like when this news hit the headlines to you know when you made comments in class and
00:23:30.960then and then what what happened after that but thanks thanks for joining the space by the way
00:23:35.340how's it going well it's wonderful to be here i have the unhappy distinction of being the first
00:23:41.840person that may not have may not been the first person to have thought that this was outrageous
00:23:48.900what the news that was coming out of kamloops um but it was the first person punished but i was
00:23:54.560right there at the start. So the press release from the First Nation Band in Kamloops was on
00:24:05.360May 27. That was a Thursday. News started to trickle through schools and so forth. And they
00:24:12.980made a big deal about it right across Canada on Monday. And I was teaching Calculus 12 at the
00:24:19.920time and I was asked by the principal as were all the other teachers to talk about residential
00:24:24.620schools and um and the narrative circulating was that there was torture and murder and all sorts
00:24:30.900of things and um I just said one thing that went against the zeitgeist the word that you used
00:24:37.180earlier and um within half an hour I was had two male vice principals um leading me out of the
00:24:43.940building I got angry as I was being taken in the parking lot and I said I've just changed my mind
00:24:49.460of not leaving make it easier for you guys if you allow me to speak to the principal and the
00:24:54.960principal said nothing and nobody said nothing to me for three and a half years so I paid um I feel
00:25:00.700that not only have I again was the first punished but I think I have been probably the most punished
00:25:06.500um I know there are people before me like the senator Lynn Beck and so forth who was pushed
00:25:11.980out of the senate for very much the same thing um which was questioning any indigenous narrative
00:25:16.620the same year, 2021. So that's my story. I stood my ground. I'm someone who has a PhD from the
00:25:27.140University of Toronto. My father was the Chief Justice of Ontario. We had many conversations
00:25:32.820about Indigenous education, about Indigenous law and history and so forth. I've never met anybody
00:25:41.060up until 2021, whoever said, even some of the things that were said by Harrison, which is that
00:25:48.060there was more bad than good in residential schools. I object to that statement. Tremendous
00:25:55.740fondness and respect for Harrison and everybody else that say that, but it's just simply not true.
00:26:00.700The schools wouldn't have lasted for almost 150 years if they weren't doing a good service.
00:26:05.720It was an educational right for children to go to school. Their parents signed application forms.
00:26:09.920residential schools are only for those that couldn't or go to day school or didn't live near
00:26:15.480a day school and in addition there are orphans and kids who have had necessities of life who
00:26:20.300were put in residential schools I think the teachers did a tremendous job considering the
00:26:27.420circumstances and pay and and then and the type of child that they got many of these children
00:26:32.680came to residential schools with disease many of them from home lives where there was tremendous
00:26:39.220abuse including sexual abuse and I think teachers did their best obviously there
00:26:45.160are some teachers that did things they shouldn't have done and there was one
00:26:49.240priest one priest 143 schools over 141 years really over 400 years because the
00:26:54.760first residential schools were began almost to the day 400 years ago in
00:27:00.220Quebec and they different names and the past including industrial schools and so
00:27:04.780forth but we had a long history of trying to educate indigenous children i'm very proud of
00:27:10.100that history as is harrison and i think it's wrong to condemn them any way whatsoever mistakes were
00:27:16.460made and we've learned from those mistakes but i think what we need to do is not speak about
00:27:21.740schools that were in our country a long time ago without having any knowledge i'm someone who has
00:27:27.000knowledge harrison had as he said rodney clifton on someone who was at those schools i have met
00:27:32.140many teachers i have met many students who were in attendance and i never heard anything of the
00:27:38.280sort of physical or sexual abuse and certainly not genocide until it became de riga really sort
00:27:46.000of in following up from what happened in 2020 in the united states with george floyd that trudeau
00:27:50.980and others were looking for a george floyd moment as an interesting sort of spiritual repentance
00:27:56.960that we had to say we were bad in order to be carried to the promised land by virtue signaling
00:28:02.900savior Trudeau. I think residential schools are not a stain in our country, but an example of all
00:28:10.080the good that we have tried to do to lift up all people in this country, whether the people that
00:28:16.080were here long before, Europeans, and including people that have come as recently as today.
00:28:22.240I think Canada is a country that's honorable. Yeah. So Jim, take us
00:28:26.940back again to just that scenario, you know, you said something, did you say you were in a calculus
00:28:31.280class when something was said? And how do you think what you said got back to these two vice
00:28:36.920principals who came in to, you know, walk you out of the classroom? First, I need to apologize
00:28:44.140because it's, uh, when you lose your livelihood over something like this, um, it does tend to
00:28:50.240make me, I'm perhaps overly ripe in my passion. So thank you for keeping me in line a little bit.
00:28:56.180So the problem was very simple. The kids at the school and all other schools right across Canada have been told for a number of years now that residential schools were equivalent of houses of horror or of the Auschwitz or other death camps run by Nazis, which is simply not true.
00:29:15.160um and um so i don't blame this student there are a lot of students that are encouraged to snitch and
00:29:21.860to sniff out orthodoxy in schools in recent years there's a as you know there's an ideology that's
00:29:28.600firmly in place and has different names i'll use the name wokeism but postmodernism whatever
00:29:34.740and but the kids are told that white canadian society is racist and vicious and and full of
00:29:41.920darkness and i don't blame the kids that reported me there was one girl went down and and talked to
00:29:48.300a guidance counselor and the guidance counselor um went to the principal and the principal right
00:29:52.460away went to the board and i was out of i was out of the school before anyone talked to me
00:29:57.380wow wow that's uh that's is uh that's wild you you say that you don't blame the kids
00:30:07.980and I guess you just why do you say that well thank you for asking and you know I am a teacher
00:30:14.280so I like to make reference to the fact that the what I'm saying to you today is really very much
00:30:21.480from you know through the lens of being a teacher and and I think of students and students were told
00:30:29.120by our society gosh newspapers we're talking about 215 human remains of children some as young as
00:30:37.660three um being buried by classmates secretly at night and placed in a mass grave that's what the
00:30:45.900kids that's the diet they were fed so i certainly don't feel any animus to students who who didn't
00:30:52.500like what i said and and again i said it was disease that struck down most kids that were
00:30:58.580in attendance at these schools as in other schools tuberculosis ravaged canadian society
00:31:03.960And there was more tuberculosis on reserves than in these schools.
00:31:09.600These schools ended up inoculating the kids before other Canadian kids were inoculated.
00:31:15.400They had regular visits from nurses and doctors.
00:31:18.540Camelot School had a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients about 20 minutes drive away.
00:31:26.540The idea that nuns and priests were trying to kill kids is just so absurd because they were doing the opposite.
00:31:34.360They were ahead of their time in trying to keep kids healthy and safe and alive.
00:31:41.820Okay, so like Faulkner said, I'm not a historian either.
00:31:48.600Would you call yourself somewhat of an expert on this history and these stories of burying their own classmates at night?
00:31:58.380Would you call these lies, or what would you call that, and where do you think it comes from?
00:32:04.000Well, you're asking excellent questions, and the one at the end is the one that interests me most, where it comes from.
00:32:12.400But I'll answer your first one, and I'll try and answer all the questions very, very briefly here.
00:32:18.600that when I went to university, I studied Indian education policy and I did my master's thesis on
00:32:26.280it. And I also took courses that related to all educational history, as I did my, as I said,
00:32:33.880my doctorate at the University of Toronto. I worked under the University of Alberta for my
00:32:38.700master's, a man named Robert Carney, who is the father of Mark Carney, who people know. And he
00:32:44.160was considered to be the leading expert in residential schools and what his particular
00:32:48.120emphasis was in talking about residential schools was how many kids were there because they had
00:32:53.540nowhere else to go that residential schools even had even had adults there because there were
00:33:00.020adults that had nowhere else to go and the schools fed them and sheltered them um so um they were
00:33:05.720you know if you look at today's statistics about half the kids in some provinces some more than
00:33:10.980have um that are in government care are indigenous so it's not this is not you know the residential
00:33:19.260schools were were the precursors of of government child welfare and and um so they they looked after
00:33:28.300kids and and they didn't always have the easiest kids and again things went wrong but but i don't
00:33:33.300blame the teachers or the the intentions and also i should just quickly mention before i answer the
00:33:37.780most important question here, is in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report, the
00:33:43.120Indigenous authors like Murray Sinclair talked about the schools having good intentions and
00:33:48.360having many good accomplishments. And so that's page 128 of the final report. So the really
00:33:54.800interesting thing here is you're asking, why would people say something that isn't true?
00:33:59.960So yes, to answer none of your questions, I believe they're lies. It's not true, ghost
00:34:05.200stories. Now, why would they have ghost stories? And I think the best explanation for this comes
00:34:10.820from a colleague of mine on the, there's a national pan-Canadian research group called the
00:34:17.620Indian Residential School Research Group. And there's a woman there named Michelle Sterling.
00:34:21.780And her explanation relates to trauma, that these kids did not go to residential schools for the
00:34:28.300most part without having already experienced a great deal of trauma, particularly in the 1880s
00:34:33.580and 90s when there was a lot of starvation. Even before that, before they were officially
00:34:39.120called residential schools in 1883, when there was smallpox. And of course, later you had Spanish
00:34:46.200flu and you had all sorts of other things like alcohol, the problem of fetal alcohol syndrome,
00:34:51.660and more recently drugs and so forth. So finally wrapping this up, why is this? Well, when people
00:34:58.080have trauma and I talked to a friend yesterday who worked in and on reserves for most of his
00:35:05.600adult life he said that he asked me he said Jim how many kids do you think that some of these
00:35:11.840reserves were sexually abused on the reserve and I said well I think in some cases as many as 40
00:35:17.760percent and he said to me you're wrong he said almost every child so what's happened in many
00:35:23.580reserves because of poverty, as Harrison Faulkner was saying, because of drugs and alcohol and
00:35:29.360suicide and despondency and economic, social dysfunction, family dysfunction and unemployment,
00:35:36.260all these different things. They came together as a horrible, toxic cocktail. And it's really
00:35:41.080hard for kids. And that's why when I was in school, I didn't understand when I was a student,
00:35:46.000how there could be students and residents and schools and native reserves, you know,
00:35:51.880sniffing glue or photocopy or fluid and so forth and and so i i think their kids have a lot of
00:35:59.560trauma and i think it's easy to point figures at residential schools and of course some kids did
00:36:04.640have a bad experience at residential schools for some of them was hard to be away from family and
00:36:09.360community and i'm and i'm not an apologist for the schools at all but i think the intentions
00:36:14.140were good and and and i think when people make up false stories even the orange shirt story is false
00:36:20.280The girl Phyllis Webstat never, never went to a residential school.
00:36:24.680She blames nuns for taking away her shirt.
00:38:56.380And so the very first instance, I think we have a problem in society across all sorts of issues in which we've lost the art of disagreement.
00:39:05.960And I think the most important thing to do is not to presume that one is right. And I'm open. If someone were to excavate tomorrow on Kamloops and find 250 child remains, then I would change my opinion or my view and say I was wrong.
00:39:24.080but we're not allowed to in Canada as adults even to entertain any discussion and the school system
00:39:33.560in particular in any discussion whatsoever about a lot of these issues is something that's the
00:39:39.640death knell for a teacher so generally one avoids it but to more specifically answer your question
00:39:45.500what I would say to somebody is that it's my understanding based on the research that I've done
00:39:49.500um that they haven't found any graves or missing children and um and that residential schools um
00:39:56.740at the time um served an important role okay i do have a couple more questions and then i think
00:40:04.880we're going to move on to to hearing more people's testimonies but um i want to ask uh you know how
00:40:11.760Were you political before this happened?
00:40:15.940And what is your sort of perception been of Canada since then?
00:40:20.680Has it radically changed your sort of perception of our institutions
00:40:24.500since you got dragged out of the classroom in 2021?
00:40:56.980But I had a lot of conversations with him, as you can imagine, about being a fired teacher and asking my father for support and for advice.
00:41:07.580And I never got very far with my father.
00:41:09.820my father absolutely loved canada and and he was loved by canadians from coast to coast
00:41:16.780um but i never got far with him because he would start to swear and get very upset he doesn't he
00:41:23.980didn't understand why people had to put the statue of johnny mcdonald behind a box or would tear it
00:41:30.620apart why we had to get rid of edgerton ryerson who gave free public schooling to all ontario
00:41:37.340children. So there's something that's happened to Canada in recent years that no one I think
00:41:44.040ever anticipated, where we started to hate ourselves and we started to destroy all the
00:41:48.600things that unite us. So I think, yes, I've become bitter and cynical in some ways, and
00:41:54.700I don't want to be that person. But I will be until I'm fully vindicated because I did nothing
00:42:00.920wrong as a teacher. But it's really interesting that my father, who's very much an establishment
00:42:06.560figure and then many of his friends would have conversations with me and wouldn't they again
00:42:12.020they wouldn't last long because they'd be so upset with what's happening to canada and if you can't
00:42:17.000love your own country and the people who built this country the people like mcdonald who who
00:42:22.920created a railway that extended from one end one coast to to the other then i or simon fraser and
00:42:30.540canoe going you know down the fraser river the mackenzie walking up to the arctic if we can't
00:42:36.940take pride in the in the men and the women who built the country like the earth on nuns and
00:42:42.220jesuit priests in fact do the opposite and call them all sorts of names including murders
00:42:48.220in residential schools then i then i don't like the canada that i'm living in today
00:42:53.500that that's a that's a very powerful i mean i i relate but i can't even imagine um
00:43:03.580the fact that your father is like a historical icon of sorts and i find i find that very
00:43:11.160saddening and disheartening of course and also a bit relatable that he almost can't even put
00:43:16.560into words the the disappointment and and the the feeling of being let down by this place being let
00:43:24.880down uh by these institutions so i guess i'm understanding that even even trying to talk to
00:43:30.280him about this it just kind of quickly devolved into just pure pure frustration and rage i guess
00:43:35.940yes because he knows how good a country canada is and was and he's a personal friend of jean
00:43:41.820Kretchen. And many people refer to Kretchen because he adopted an indigenous child as being
00:43:47.560some sort of monster. And my father knew what Kretchen went through in his wife, Aline, in
00:43:54.160raising a boy from a background of trauma. And they weren't able to save him. And he became,
00:44:03.800as you know, someone with a very checkered life. But my gosh, to look at someone like
00:44:11.800that is participating in the 60s scoop you know this evil white you know politician taking a kid
00:44:19.720out of his culture all cretchen wanted to do and all canadians wanted to do in the 60s
00:44:25.040and all missionaries wanted to do with kids before that was to help them and anybody who
00:44:31.160says the opposite is a liar very very well said um i uh you know a lot of people are um or you
00:44:44.420know any sort of leftist who would come across this across this space or any official politician
00:44:48.800or even a conservative might say oh we're all hateful bigots and and you know you know the
00:44:52.980regular catchphrases that they would say um and i really in a certain sense want to take the high
00:44:58.480wrote here uh with one last question if if if truth and reconciliation day was actually about
00:45:06.220reconciliation what what do you think it actually would look like if if there was some or do you
00:45:12.660think this whole day the the premise of it is just absurd to begin with and it's just about kind of
00:45:16.840further further justifying the kind of resentment of of uh canadian european christian history
00:45:23.220yeah to me reconciliation wouldn't involve demonizing all non-indigenous canadians
00:45:31.340i think it's just an absurdity that you want to put people into white hats and black hats
00:45:36.520this manikian worldview and and again demonize particularly some of the most beautiful people
00:45:42.720in our past who who went to remote reserves and and other places to um much hardships to
00:45:50.060themselves to to help communities that were struggling and um but where i where i fit into
00:45:56.500this puzzle right now um is really not about reconciliation i don't have much to offer where
00:46:02.960i have a lot to offer is with truth and i don't think reconciliation can come from deceit i think
00:46:09.520we have to be true about our past and if all sorts of right now up until 1971 you had eight
00:46:16.720bans in manitoba who are fighting the federal government to keep their residential school
00:46:21.280open all these things are not talked about all i'm asking right now is for canadians
00:46:28.000to stop the woke game of again placing people into categories of good and bad
00:46:34.320history is nuanced human character is nuanced and truth presents all canadians today and in the past
00:46:41.280as people who are part of a very good society
00:46:44.600and we should stop seeing yourself as anything but that.
00:47:30.800but I've been lately hearing from a lot of high school students
00:47:34.640who don't know me, and I don't know them,
00:47:37.320But they've taken the time to write to me and thanking me. And the one thing that they say, and I think this is to answer your question, this is why I believe, and I'm an optimistic person to begin with, I think it all bodes well, as I think young people are wanting and insisting on having open inquiry and discussion.
00:47:59.640and and i think so we started off today speaking to a wonderful young canadian named harrison
00:48:07.940faulkner and he was talking about being in trouble what was spotify and so forth and the debate being
00:48:14.140closed and leah gazin wanting to put people like him and me in jail or finest what's most exciting
00:48:22.540for me is that young people have had enough of this many many young people across canada and
00:48:28.540they're reaching out and they're saying, thank you. We don't, we don't want the Canada that's
00:48:33.980being presented to us by, by our teachers, by our professors. We want a Canada where people can talk
00:48:41.120about these things and come to some kind of consensus. Thank you.
00:48:47.800Thank you so much for your time, Jim, sharing your testimony. I truly want to learn more about
00:49:24.140uh around uh unmute yourself and kind of share share your thoughts on this sort of residential
00:49:29.500school denialism uh versus free speech um sort of battle going on right now in this country
00:49:35.800are you there buddy yeah yeah thanks greg and that was those are really good to hear jim's
00:49:43.800whole story i'd heard of this case but i hadn't heard those details and
00:49:48.820yeah it's just another another system attack on somebody who actually wants to get to the truth
00:49:57.300and you know move forward as opposed to just ruminate over nonsense endlessly but yeah it
00:50:03.840doesn't surprise me that they've treated him the way they did um look i have a much more
00:50:10.060aggressive take on this whole story um than most people are probably comfortable with um
00:50:18.820Obviously, I come from a very pro-European perspective on things. I think that Europeans built this country. Europeans are the reason why Canada is a great place to live. And I think they've systematically attacked us over the past, well, decades, really, because they understand that a strong European population is something that stands in the way of globalism.
00:50:44.460And I see the residential school denialism nonsense as just being another way to bludgeon old stock Canadians into giving up their heritage, their history, their homeland and their birthright.
00:50:58.700This country belongs to us. It was made by us, for us, for our descendants, by our ancestors.
00:51:07.460um anybody who tries to undermine that is somebody who comes from a place of hatred
00:51:14.300and that's what this residential school denialism is it is a bludgeon used against white people
00:51:21.780that's what it really amounts to and so when i hear people try to come at this in good faith
00:51:28.780and you know to i i feel like that's where jim is coming from he's somebody who genuinely comes at
00:51:34.240this. From a good faith perspective, he wants reconciliation, but the truth is they do not
00:51:42.280want reconciliation. That is not what this is about. This isn't actually about getting to the
00:51:46.340truth. It's not actually about having some kind of amicable agreement from which we can move
00:51:53.080forward from and let bygones be bygones. That's not the intention behind this rhetoric and this
00:52:00.820attack on european canadians now i think that this speaks to something much deeper that's a
00:52:10.520problem specifically with europeans in the modern era our altruism has become suicidal and funny
00:52:18.320enough i believe i think the residential schools were a mistake personally not because they were
00:52:24.060evil not because they were a systematic genocide against the population not because you know they
00:52:29.760were horrible and the catholic church is evil and all these things it has nothing to do with that
00:52:34.080i think it was a mistake because it's a testament or a perfect example of how liberalism
00:52:40.900is a horrible path that europeans have gone down i think it was a mistake to ever try and
00:52:49.760integrate these people into our society i think that the the correct course of action was to let
00:52:55.400them uh you know go off on their own course and be their own people i think that this this altruism
00:53:02.920that europeans go through and it doesn't matter which example you choose whether it's you know
00:53:06.920as jim brought up you know the the george floyd and the black situation in america or the aboriginals
00:53:13.160of australia or ex-colonial countries any of these things this liberal mentality of trying to
00:53:20.360integrate and you know adopt and um assimilate these people into your society was always a mistake
00:53:33.560i think we need to reconcile this fact that this this whole notion that we're all going
00:53:38.520to get along and that we should have ever tried to get along with with these people
00:53:42.360on this level in our societies is a mistake and it always was and if you don't believe me
00:53:48.440You know, the argument that I would make here is that the people who, you know, put together
00:53:56.320these residential schools, the intention behind them was noble, honorable, and well-intentioned.
00:54:03.300They wanted what was best. They were trying to do what was right. They were trying to be
00:54:08.940humanitarian and look at how it has been used against us. And in 20 years, you know, the same
00:54:15.740people who are demanding that we do x y and z for the indigenous populations of canada now
00:54:22.520are going to take those same things that we did and say look at what you've done to us
00:54:28.380this this whole notion that you know they're what they're trying to do now is somehow better than
00:54:35.280what they did before like i don't think you understand it's not about actually fixing the
00:54:40.360problem they're not trying to fix the problem they're trying to destroy you so when when we
00:54:47.320look back on this everything that we're doing in the current time period this the same mentality
00:54:52.600will apply to in the future as applies today to residential schools they will look back on the
00:54:58.520negotiations and everything that we did in this time period and say it wasn't enough and it was
00:55:04.440evil what you did and you shouldn't have done that and you should have given us this and you shouldn't
00:55:09.720have done that like you know it'll just be endless because what you have to understand about these
00:55:14.040people is again it's not about actually coming to an amicable result it's about deconstructing
00:55:19.320every aspect of you and your identity that's ultimately what they are trying to do with stuff
00:55:25.000like this it's not it's not something that's meant to be productive it's something that's
00:55:29.160meant to be an attack and the more you allow these attacks to continue the worse they will get
00:55:33.800so in my perspective i'm not interested in reconciliation anymore and i don't think a lot
00:55:41.160of canadians are i think we saw a lot of this uh over the past week with what was going on
00:55:46.120with national day of truth and reconciliation i don't want your reconciliation anymore i don't
00:55:50.200want anything to do with you people i don't i don't want you to integrate my society i don't
00:55:55.720want to live with you i don't want to be friends with you i don't want you know to have some kind
00:56:01.000of amicable agreement because you've shown that you're a bad faith actor that you have no interest
00:56:06.280in actually coming to an amicable agreement you just want to bludgeon me until there's nowhere
00:56:10.760left for me to go and my children and their descendants are a hated minority in the country
00:56:15.640that my ancestors built so why would i have a good faith discussion why would i want anything
00:56:20.600to do with you you're clearly you're a hostile enemy that is who these people are and what they
00:56:25.400they are trying to do to you is is every every accusation is a confession when they accuse
00:56:31.620your ancestors of genocide it's it's quite simple that is what they are actively doing to you now
00:56:38.020they are committing a genocide against the european populations across the entire world
00:56:43.880as maxine bernier rightly stated today it's not a grace great replacement theory anymore it's a
00:56:49.360great replacement reality and it's time for us to come to the conclusion like the reality that
00:56:54.200they are not interested in having a good faith discussion they're trying to destroy you
00:57:00.120so pardon my language i'll end there food for thought again i'm not interested in a liberal
00:57:06.760you know solution to this problem anymore i'm interested in separation that's the position i
00:57:12.200come from i don't want anything to do with these people anymore and i don't think any uh european
00:57:16.760person should want anything to do with these people anymore i want them out of my country
00:57:21.240and i want it you know in the case of let's say the indigenous i want them on their reserves
00:57:25.560separate from us they can do their own thing i don't want anything to do with them
00:57:31.400i appreciate what you're saying there all right all right i i i really liked your it's it's if
00:57:37.480you guys have heard of the horseshoe theory it's the idea that the far left and the far right agree
00:57:42.040in this case it's like the far left thought residential schools shouldn't have happened
00:57:47.400and ferriman's like residential schools shouldn't happen for a different reason but um yeah no i
00:57:53.640appreciate that and uh perfect example greg you like you know i'm sorry to jump in there but like
00:58:00.040that's a perfect example because if the residential school system never happened right now what the
00:58:05.400left would be saying is look at how you didn't do anything for those poor indigenous children who
00:58:10.440were being abused look at how you left us to to die and starve and be exposed to the elements
00:58:16.280look at how you left us to be you know victimized by disease and and the elements look at how you
00:58:22.840just you you didn't help us at all look right when you say like it will never be enough just
00:58:27.960like with the lgbtq like there's never going to be enough there will always be something else
00:58:32.920that we need to reconcile with to to bow down to um you know and i and you were talking about the
00:58:40.840you know the being a minority i mean mass immigration is already threatening us with
00:58:44.360being a minority so there's there's really a lot to that where we're having to kowtow to these
00:58:50.720people to just you know be be apologists for being white in so many ways that we're going to be you
00:58:57.320know pretty much wiped wiped out of our country yeah um while you're on the horn here uh the
00:59:02.260ferryman this is kind of a topic that i've thought about a lot uh you know because i i tried to
00:59:07.640gently bring this up this this idea that hey truth and reconciliation day is uh you know there's a
00:59:12.580really anti-white flavor to it and i appreciate you coming on because you kind of gave that take
00:59:16.780on steroids um but when it comes to the average european descendant man in canada who's demoralized
00:59:26.900or who is maybe giving in to the to the fear of well i don't want to be a residential school
00:59:33.920denier or you know like you know bad things like and they get caught up in in the propaganda or
00:59:38.960the narrative you know are some people just not even like too far gone to be saved or you know
00:59:46.720what do you think sort of the solution is there to wake up more Canadians to be like hey your
00:59:51.980history uh matters your history uh means something and if you don't if you don't stand up
00:59:57.420and try to uh you know honor it then uh you know the the sort of history as you know it is kind of
01:00:07.340um just kind of your way of life and your people will like cease to exist do you have any sort of
01:00:13.820uh thoughts on that and how to solve this sort of demoralize this deep aggressive demoralization
01:00:19.360problem of the average white canadian um it's a big question i know yeah i'm trying to just
01:00:29.800quickly you know digest that look i think that on a long enough timeline um i don't i don't know if
01:00:38.400necessarily you can remoralize the demoralize in any specific way but the the reality is that
01:00:46.680at some point on a long enough timeline every european canadian is going to have to face this
01:00:53.800reality because and basically it's not a question of when they they come to the realization that
01:01:00.580this is what's being done to them it's a question of whether or not it's on it's there's enough time
01:01:05.380left to remedy it after it does with the collision course that we are headed on looks something like
01:01:11.920south africa that's that's the situation that they're putting us in um and this is true for all
01:01:20.800um european countries and european colonial countries uh if you don't believe that they're
01:01:27.560like you know it's it's the small things they're obviously doing it to us but like a really good
01:01:31.920example of this is you know english universities are now removing terms like anglo-saxon now you
01:01:38.660may think like well does that really matter and it's like yes because these are the same people
01:01:43.240that will tell you well white is not an ethnic group what you're referring to is a collection
01:01:48.500of European ethnic groups that, you know, make up the larger European, you know, racial makeup,
01:01:56.680right? So you have English and German and blah, blah, blah. And then if you say, okay, well,
01:02:00.900I'm English, they tell you, well, English is actually a collection of, you know, Celto-Germanic
01:02:06.900peoples. There's no real such thing as English, you know, because there's Normans and Anglo-Saxons
01:02:12.080and Celts and Gales and Picts and Scotts. They break it down. And so now they're at the point
01:02:17.780where they're saying well you know there's no such there's not really such a thing as anglo-saxon
01:02:21.880anglo-saxon is kind of a reference to uh you know a collection of germanic tribes that migrated
01:02:27.600to uh england in the uh you know the mid first millennia over hundreds of years and you know
01:02:34.220it was made up of jutes and and frisians and angles and saxons and so like you know using
01:02:39.660this blanket term of anglo-saxon do you see the the the course that they've they've put us on
01:02:45.000Everything is about atomizing you and turning you into an individual that has no collective identity, no sense of where you came from and who you are, with the specific intent of turning you into this individual that can be pushed around by other groups.
01:03:00.460Notice how as they deconstruct your collective identity, if you are of European heritage, as they actively deconstruct and delegitimize your identity, they are simultaneously bolstering and reinforcing the identities of everybody who is attacking you.
01:03:16.640so in this case the indigenous right the the same argument that i just made would apply to the
01:03:22.300indigenous peoples the notion that the indigenous are some sort of collective identity is nonsense
01:03:27.260except for in the context of you know the the european peoples who came and kind of saw these
01:03:32.420similar things but the idea that you know they're one people with one interest um is nonsense
01:03:38.140obviously they were warring for a long time they didn't view themselves as the same so like
01:03:42.060do you see what i'm saying like they're actively bolstering up this idea that the indigenous are
01:03:46.620this collective uh identity that is in opposition to us as they're deconstructing ours and the same
01:03:52.620thing is true for blacks in america and the same thing is true this is why the best way to summarize
01:03:56.760this is the term bipoc why do you think they use the term black indigenous people of color
01:04:01.780isn't that interesting it includes everybody except whitey doesn't it why do you think that
01:04:06.980they're they're doing that why do you think that they bolster up all of these other groups
01:04:11.300collective identities as they delegitimize and minimize yours do you think that's an accident do
01:04:17.700you think that you know this is the kind of thing that leads towards genocidal behavior and the
01:04:22.980irony being that they're they're the ones accusing you of having genocidal intent simply for standing
01:04:28.420up and defending your your own identity so um yeah to get back to your question the answer is look
01:04:37.060people are going to figure this out one way or another and it'll either come because they they
01:04:41.860they're paying attention and they see what's being done to them or they start listening to the right
01:04:46.180people and they realize the trajectory that we're headed on or it's going to be whenever they're
01:04:51.300they have a knock at their door because some gang like you know if you want to use a south african
01:04:55.860context because a gang of bantus is trying to break through your gates so they can rape your
01:05:01.780wife or boiling water down your children's throats as they make you watch before they slit your
01:05:06.900throat and let you bleed out on the floor watching your children die and if that sounds graphic and
01:05:12.100i know it is i don't care because that's what's being done to them that their story is our future
01:05:18.500if we do not address this situation and start coming from this uh from a place of strength
01:05:25.780unless we address this and realize that we are actually being attacked and this is what they
01:05:30.420this is the kind of thing they are setting us up for we are in big trouble and this residential
01:05:35.300school denialism is just another link in the chain of them you know binding our hands so it is
01:05:42.180incredibly important that we fight this it's incredibly important that we understand the
01:05:46.260ramifications of why they are doing this to us of what the real symbolism behind this is
01:05:51.540and that we start understanding what the real problem is and it's that unless we collectivize
01:05:59.380and understand that we are real people and assert ourselves and our history and our heritage and
01:06:05.060you know claim our birthright in this world and you know don't let them uh you know tell you
01:06:11.460otherwise this this nation is your birthright and don't again don't let anybody tell you otherwise
01:06:18.420unless we start doing these things they will disenfranchise us turn us into a hated minority
01:06:24.020flood us with the third world until your children and their descendants are left with nothing and
01:06:30.100And they're simply a hated minority in what should have been their inheritance.
01:43:37.240We were mostly pioneer children at the time.
01:43:40.580Whites didn't live that much different on the prairies, especially in the 20s and 30s, than any Native child did.
01:43:47.100So there was some degree of government neglect.
01:43:49.760But I was upset about how governments end up accepting weird guilt and then making the taxpayer pay for that guilt that was committed by governments, like this veil of, I don't know, judgment-proof veil that exists around politicians that they never have to pay personally for the perfidy or the criminality they may have committed while they were in office.
01:44:15.700And I find it unfortunate that we're giving, what, $30 to $40 billion to 1,800,000 Native Canadians in one year alone.
01:44:26.920Like, that's $20,000 per Native, and they pay fewer taxes in many areas.
01:44:33.400They have many advantages over the white community.
01:45:31.840We have the ethnic lobby, the Sikh ethnic lobby in parliament that helps direct this fabulous flow of hundreds of thousands of Sikh and Indian nationals coming into this country.
01:45:42.500almost monthly. We have Somali lobbies, Sri Lankan lobbies, Chinese lobbies, Indian lobbies,
01:45:49.380Filipino lobbies, and we have mass migration from all those areas. Coincidentally, the liberal
01:45:55.060government is just used as a way to hijack power, influence, and money. I mean, the debt is now
01:46:01.220$700 billion in the nine years Trudeau's winning government. That's going to be impossible to ever
01:46:06.860make up i don't know how that's supposed to be ever paid off or dealt with and if interest rates
01:46:12.680ever go really high we're going to be screwed that debt will cost us a fortune right it's all
01:46:17.640the pandering we do to all the ethnic groups all the minority groups lgp the alphabet mob the only
01:46:23.160people they don't pander to is the white community but the exception with that is that the bureaucracy
01:46:28.540in ottawa and most of our provincial capitals are white we are paying for a vast middle class
01:46:36.180bureaucracy that's largely white who largely do that kind of white savior stuff with people who
01:46:42.240are drug addicted or on welfare or seeking that the most the tremendous amount of money is consumed
01:46:48.360by a white professional class in the government just spending tax money like earning tax money
01:46:55.560but not producing anything so you know i i would say we have many crisis the denialism bill is that
01:47:01.860you've been working on greg and your great work on the online harms act i'm really appreciative
01:47:07.460of what you've been doing getting it out there i i've recommended your website which is very
01:47:11.940nicely laid out and i commend you for the work you're doing one thing i'd like to ask anybody
01:47:16.580who wants to is why has the people's party of canada with all their great platform not moved
01:47:22.180the needle in three years why have they remained sort of stagnant i i think that is a question for
01:47:30.020another uh twitter space we we could get into it except when i look at all the people here though
01:47:35.120i see a lot of ppc sympathizers right for sure and yet the question exists is why have we not
01:47:41.420been able to harness a crisis several crises from mass migration to covid lingering you know covid
01:47:49.420vaccine denial by governments from all the things that are going on that the ppc clearly stands in
01:47:57.320opposition to um including gender ideologies and all we don't have seats there mark um we're trying
01:48:03.920to get seats why have why hasn't our percentage of the vote in the polls gone up right why is it
01:48:10.940like remain two three four percent uh in fact we got five percent in in 2021 so i find it difficult
01:48:17.580to understand yeah no that's a really really good question and you know also why is it my generation
01:48:24.680is 2% support for PPC and kids 18 to 29 or 7%.
01:50:59.920I'm not saying what happened to me equates to what happened, whatever.
01:51:02.760You know, I'm just saying I've been there, too, with teachers, nurses—sorry, nuns, and the pastor being the principal, absolutely abusing us kids.
01:51:16.160I also remember that we were rotten little kids at times, too.
01:51:19.520like we we saw our job as that to intimidate and so we often were really rotten to her
01:51:28.820so when they were when they actually caught us in the rare time doing something we always deserved
01:51:34.860it nobody was innocent it's not like the principal decided yes i'm going to give you the strap because
01:51:39.320there's no evidence no we saw you fucking punch that kid yeah you know and so it's not like there
01:51:45.840was like we lack due process it's just that life was rough in the 60s it was rougher in the 50s
01:51:52.660and every generation before then it was rougher now you know no child can be touched in 1910
01:51:59.720no child can be touched in schools no child can be assaulted um but it seems to be the way to go
01:52:06.140good the problem is less with the teachers are terrible now and the curricula is really terrible
01:52:11.520But parents are terrible, too. Most children don't have two parents at home. So the deterioration is there. Now, when people say homeschool your kids because the system is horrible, I go, well, what am I paying all this money for? I have to go to work on a night shift from 10 o'clock at night to 630 in the morning.
01:52:29.640And I have to say, if I don't have time to teach children, our three girls stuff, because the LGB2 alphabet mafias invaded our schools, it's our job to clear these schools of all this, you know, disease and cancerous ideas and return it to sanity, not retreat into our home, right?
01:52:48.560I'm not paying myself to teach my children.
01:52:56.040We have three girls in the local high school.
01:52:58.580so and they're always being bombarded with fucking stickers for all the different sexualities and
01:53:04.420gender identities and it's just a ton of bullshit they've had dildos shown to them all sorts of
01:53:10.640bizarre sex object stories weirdo books and stuff right like it's a lot to keep your kids uncorrupted
01:53:17.840because the schools love to do that they really want the kids to talk about whether they're
01:53:22.440bisexual or pan in the grade fucking six right like none of these children should be having sex
01:53:28.920where our girls are up to 17 and we're we believe that they are not and that is not on their radar
01:53:34.400at this time so it's unfathomable that schools are constantly promoting this yeah let's let's
01:53:40.340bring it back on topic later on actually we're going to have a chanel come on uh the space
01:53:44.860because she's great too by the way yeah yeah and she and she was standing up for a conservative
01:53:48.880politician who is basically saying the the the violation of parental rights under gender ideology
01:53:56.060is similar to the sort of like lack of uh you know it's the same thing as the government kind
01:54:01.900of imposing these absurd rules that put children at risk in school like and and because this
01:54:07.900conservative uh politician made this comparison you know that's resident that's denialism that's
01:54:12.680that's uh bad but mark i want to go we're going to talk about the school system a little bit later
01:54:16.520I want to go back to something you said earlier, or rather just kind of like your history of being politically activated and politically engaged for a number of years in this country.
02:00:22.940I think race and culture trump citizenship.
02:00:26.200And I think we can see proof of that all over.
02:00:28.140And I think there was some degree there was a heightened fear of that in World War II,
02:00:32.020that the japanese were such a vicious bloodthirsty raping killing murdering uh imperialist force
02:00:40.020that it didn't matter what citizenship you were the government couldn't err uh on the side of
02:00:45.140caution they had to take you away and and divest you of all your stuff and put you in until the
02:00:49.460end of the war and now i i'm much more sympathetic to that position than i ever was before because
02:00:55.220i've been thinking about it i said race and culture trump citizenship it tells me a lot
02:01:00.740more where you're from, when I look at you and hear you and hear you speak and tell me where
02:01:05.720you're from, then it does what your citizenship papers might say, whether it says England, France,
02:01:11.140Canada, or the United States. Right? So anyway, that's just something that's happened to me in
02:01:16.900recent times. Absolutely, Mario. No, I really appreciate that perspective. And it is so
02:01:22.200interesting how it only really works in white Western countries where it's like, you know,
02:01:28.960someone from india can become canadian someone from africa can become part of the uk they can
02:01:37.200be they can be a brit and i know it's extraordinary because they can't become japanese chinese
02:01:42.180vietnamese or any place in africa in fact it can only be europe or north america for some reason
02:01:48.260and this mystifies me as to why white anglo uh english-speaking countries or european countries
02:01:55.420are expected to take this mass migration of savages, really, in many cases.
02:02:00.560I mean, just people completely not ready to be integrated into European or English or North American culture.
02:02:07.900They're simply not ready for prime time or civilization, and we shouldn't take them.
02:02:13.600That last monologue was heckin' based, Mark.
02:02:18.500Anyway, this is a wonderful show, ladies and gentlemen, and I look forward to another one, Greg.
02:02:23.260thanks for coming on mark really appreciate it thank you mr mark emory for the prince of pot
02:02:27.940ladies and gentlemen if i can say one thing about what mark just said too and like this is i think
02:02:33.420this is essential that people understand this which is what they will tell you is if you are
02:02:37.860from a european country or european colonial country they will tell you that well actually
02:02:43.180what makes us who we are is our values you know what makes us english is our values what makes
02:02:48.500as Canadian is the values we share. What makes us German is the values we share. And it's funny
02:02:53.940because if you ask them what those values are that make you German or English or Canadian or
02:02:59.320American or Australian, they're all the same. It's always the same values. It's some vague
02:03:06.200assertion that we adhere to liberal democratic principles and global, you know, global homo
02:03:14.880brown communism that's that's what it always amounts to when they tell you oh well it's our
02:03:20.080values that what that make us canadian no it's not it's your blood blood is what makes you english
02:03:26.500blood is what makes you german blood is what makes you canadian american australian etc
02:03:33.060and this is the the biggest deception that they've pulled on us in our lifetime is this
02:03:41.660disconnection between who we actually are and this the supplantation of who we are with some
02:03:48.840vague value system this is what has allowed them to flood us with all kinds of people from all
02:03:56.200kinds of places that with it's crucial that people understand that yes by the way one last
02:04:04.860thing sure i wanted to point out that i stole an idea i heard from i tweeted it out there
02:04:09.260and it's already got 200 likes. I'll read it to you. Do you think Canada could end up like South
02:04:14.360Africa, with whites and minorities surrounded by hostile cultural invaders living in their
02:04:19.200enclaves throughout Canada, perpetuating their tribal grievances and ethos? In 1981, Vancouver
02:04:25.660was 85% white. In 2021, Vancouver is just 40% white. In just 40 years, whites became a minority
02:04:32.700in their own city and that's already got 184 likes in the space of one hour exactly so that's
02:04:39.900going to be over a thousand likes by the by midnight and uh that's just because somebody i
02:04:45.520think tolman fairman's toll said that and i thought that's true i happen to know all the information
02:04:50.740about vancouver and i've been to south africa and i have one of my best friends in the whole world
02:04:56.380was murdered by three black marauders with guns that broke into his home and murdered him in his
02:05:02.380bed beside his wife. And I've never like forgiven that or forgotten it. So yeah, that South Africa
02:05:10.840reference really stung with me there. So anyway, I just put that out there. And I just heard that
02:05:16.080on there. So it goes to show you that we're sharing ideas, getting them out there. And that's
02:05:20.120kind of a good electric kind of thing. Absolutely, Mr. Emery, I really appreciate it. We might have
02:05:26.820a couple more guests coming in to speak and kind of give their testimony. But in the meantime,
02:05:31.400let's uh let's bring up some some people who gots gots who gots their hands up i'm pretty sure
02:05:38.640they're remanded you've been in here uh for a while i think from the beginning so if you wanted
02:05:43.320to uh ask a question to anybody on the panel or if you had anything to say then by all means
02:05:49.720unmute yourself and and share hey guys can you hear me okay yep yeah i've had some time to kind
02:05:58.080of uh rehearsing revise and revise revise kind of what i wanted to say a lot a lot of uh interesting
02:06:05.460talk here um yeah yeah i mean we're kind of like in i mean i'll have a question for jim um you know
02:06:14.320i as a as a stay-at-home father of three uh decided you know we me and my wife and i decided
02:06:20.400to you know homeschool our kids because it just doesn't seem like there's any any real option
02:06:26.020really it just it's just it's just such a it's just such a chance with with where the world is
02:06:31.420today um so i'll just kind of preface i guess where i'm at with with that um you know and there's
02:06:38.000i guess a couple years ago when the dei and the critical race theory and all that stuff kind of
02:06:42.880started getting pumped up and then um things like municipalities that are uh dei based
02:06:51.760saying you know essentially well you know we're not gonna we're gonna hide white people last
02:06:57.880um you know and it just ends up making your children uh kind of like low like at the bottom
02:07:05.500of the rung where it's just like what kind of future do they have if we're gonna end up as a
02:07:10.580society boiling everything down to race and so um and we see those things like in in in my wife's
02:07:17.900work as well where they have the land acknowledgements the um the dei the everything
02:07:23.860has to be prefaced with uh land acknowledgements and all that stuff and then even in her work and
02:07:29.300this is one of the things that i'll that i'll hit into before i ask the question um was that we
02:07:33.840never hear about the chiefs we never hear about the families of the first nations who are looked
02:07:41.520down upon or don't get funding from the chiefs um when if they speak out on them um one of uh one
02:07:51.560of the projects my wife was on she had worked on it for i think like a half a year or so
02:07:56.360and then it got dropped sorry sorry what project what's the project what do you mean project uh
02:08:02.180school it was it was a new school i don't want to go too far because some people can kind of dive
02:08:07.240into it and um but it was it was a school that that that was proposed um and she was working on
02:08:13.680it and so when uh it got dropped um her her boss who specifically works um with uh with first nations
02:08:21.940um asked you know what happened with the project you know what happened um and it was there were
02:08:27.440in an election um i guess for for who's to be like the next next chief for x many years um and
02:08:34.240and the project was dropped and so you know you can kind of you know and this is a thing that
02:08:39.740never gets brought up you know it's just you know white man bad government bad um but but where's
02:08:45.400that funding going to and so when you look at the the candidate that that would have been i think it
02:08:51.540was going to be a would have been a female chief which was i guess was looked down upon um in the
02:08:57.460politics involved um you know they sided with not having a brand new facility or higher education
02:09:04.300for that reserve and so that speaks volumes but nobody is able to speak on that um and so i guess
02:09:12.600i'll kind of go into my question for jim um you know for those because i obviously you're you're
02:09:18.700well hearst on this and for those that still kind of attempt to have civil discussion or just more
02:09:25.180information in general you know my kids are going to probably want to know about this stuff
02:09:29.240um what kind of literature um i mean if it's on your x feed but if we end up having discussions
02:09:35.440with other p other people you know i know that names are triggers and so if i bring someone up
02:09:41.680like uh you know joe below whatever people just get triggered then it's a non-sequitur like you
02:09:47.220can't have the conversation so what literature can we go to that you can provide is there a list
02:09:53.900Is there something that we can preface with the reports that the governments have come out with?
02:10:00.240So then the general public who are still looking to find more out about this can then have their own information and facts and not just be like, well, so-and-so said it.
02:11:39.740It's just any literary work like that, which gets students to look at things from different perspectives and to, in many ways, question not only their own morality, but question the morality of the society.
02:14:51.580so like why are we even bothering to like debate it like was it good was it bad hey i went to
02:14:58.380catholic school i had it bad too like that's crazy like it's a psyop it's a great and the only way
02:15:08.320out of it is just say no like in my neighborhood i have signs on the i've seen signs on poles that
02:15:15.120say we are on uh stolen land and i get my sharpie and when no one's looking i write fuck off on it
02:15:21.200like I don't put up with it and I think like Canadians we are just so nice right like hey
02:15:31.200oh you know I went to school and I had a bed too but hey like don't you see what's going on
02:15:37.740don't you see what you're doing to white people that they are guiltiness out to the point where
02:15:42.780we're just going to roll over and give it all away which is what is happening and it's already
02:15:48.840being done will it go well all these savages coming in all these savages are going into
02:15:52.880employment they're going into management they're going into government they're taking over they're
02:15:58.900going to be they're going to be making the laws already the guy who wants to pass the law on
02:16:03.800canceling our free speech he's he's an immigrant from he's an indian by by way of dubai by way of
02:16:11.920africa or something rather it's uganda uganda yeah yeah i mean i i appreciate your perspective
02:16:20.280which is you know why are we giving any of this the benefit of the doubt you're because you're
02:16:25.380right especially if you look across the world everything's kind of happening in the same way
02:16:29.660just same with covid everything kind of happened the same way right it was like let's let's lock
02:16:34.500people down it was the same way across the world and there's the specific to this issue
02:16:39.800let's use indigenous people and indigenous people as a as a crowbar to kind of pull away or push
02:16:47.740away um the you know usually europe european descended population from from their rights
02:16:54.680from their land from their their identity itself and you know aside and you know it's not us i
02:17:02.060worry about it's young people imagine growing up and having to say every morning like i don't know
02:17:08.960what they say like we're on stolen land or something or other and imagine all the crap
02:17:14.380that they're teaching and a lot of teachers today aren't white like a lot of them especially in
02:17:20.400cities they're from india they're from pakistan they're from all over the place do you think that
02:17:26.440they're gonna they're gonna rub in the white guilt isn't it in their best interest to do so
02:17:30.880it's certainly trendy it's certainly a trendy thing that is uh endorsed and basically co-signed
02:17:38.080by a lot of the political and media establishment in this country so you certainly bring up a lot
02:17:43.820of good points uh lysette uh is there is there anything else you want wanted to uh say before
02:17:48.560we move on to someone else my name is lizette but anyway okay what i want to say is like white
02:17:54.800canadians what is wrong with us why are we so fucking weak like when i go in spaces hosted by
02:18:03.060like Americans they are so the men they are so you know and Canadians it's like well you know
02:18:11.860like we don't have any spine and so many white Canadians are virtue signers right huge massive
02:18:22.220virtue signers and it's the good whites versus the bad whites and hey guess what where's the bad
02:18:28.560whites and you want to want to know why the people's maxine bernier's party because good
02:18:34.720white canada won't tolerate maxine bernier they can't handle donald trump like can't real you
02:18:42.600really think maxine bernier has a chance anyway that's all i have to say i'm disgusted with
02:18:48.800canada that's it hey thanks so much for sharing that i definitely definitely related to a lot of
02:18:54.800what you're saying there why are we so why are we such pussies you look at
02:18:58.360America and they have this autonomy about themselves our Constitution and in
02:19:03.120some ways the Constitution thing it's like well it'd be better if it was more
02:19:07.800about you know the identity of the country and not a piece of paper but
02:19:11.280still like we don't even have that to rely on here in Canada we were known as
02:19:15.800peacekeepers we have a reputation for being kind and passive but it's gotten
02:19:19.700to be it's weak and and complacent right and that's also a lie I it is a lie oh it is a lie
02:19:26.340but that was our reputation on the world stage well it became if I'm not mistaken it kind of
02:19:30.740became our reputation somewhere around like the I think like the 50s or the 60s where that became
02:19:36.900the whole like rhetoric of like we're we're a bunch of pussy peacekeepers when in reality
02:19:41.280there's there's a lot of really cool Canadian history that uh that I'd love to hear more about
02:19:47.620but you know it's gonna it's gonna take where this really is part of the reason i started say
02:19:51.920free speech.ca is like you know i want to look at the more sort of long-term solution like there's
02:19:56.080not going to be any sort of simple solutions to uh to what we're facing you know they're trying
02:20:00.140to take away our freedom freedom of speech uh with multiple different vectors of attack no one
02:20:05.120seems to be opposing mass migration and demographic replacement which is becoming abundantly obvious
02:20:09.340even to people who are apolitical in this country which is fascinating and unfortunately as it was
02:20:14.460kind of mentioned the ppc really isn't tapping into that in in a more effective way than i think
02:20:19.580they should oh they are they are bernier just posted a picture of a seat shitting near a river
02:20:25.160and said canada is becoming a shithole country no way which is the kind which is the kind of
02:20:31.240rhetoric that i have been dying for yes and max will do it see what what i found it interesting
02:20:37.520when lizette was going off there because the truth is canadians are becoming more racially
02:20:41.940conscious in the last year or so than they have been probably since the 50s or 60s and it's almost
02:20:48.200entirely due to mass immigration specifically from india nothing will radicalize you more than being
02:20:54.280surrounded with indians because they are so diametrically different to us in every conceivable
02:20:59.520way that when you're just placed in the vicinity of them and forced to live amongst them it's going
02:21:04.080to have an effect on your racial consciousness and make you understand that hey i don't really
02:21:09.160like living like this and as you're seeing canadians are becoming slowly more vicious
02:21:15.320towards foreigners and i think this is a trend that's going to continue and it will it will only
02:21:21.160be exacerbated by the fact that there's not a single institution uh you know uh department
02:21:28.180of government there's no organizations academic institute like with the exception of arguably the
02:21:34.100PPC there's nothing that's giving these people an outlet for how they feel and how they rightly feel
02:21:40.740like they're totally justified in feeling this way about their situation and in a situation like that
02:21:46.860what you will find is that inevitably that ire that contempt that dissatisfaction will be directed
02:21:53.060towards the people who are causing it so I don't know you don't have to like it but I think it's
02:21:59.940important to understand that Canadians are probably going to become a lot more racist in the future
02:22:03.500And it's like, look, it's directly result. It's very easy to say like, oh, I have no problem with Indians or Chinese. I have no problem with these people when you don't live next to them constantly.
02:22:13.700You know, fences make good neighbors, right? But when you force all these people into the same city, and there's no dominant culture, and everybody's vying for their own collective ethnic interests, watch how quickly that that disintegrates into just a tribal, you know, conflict or, you know, confrontation, it's inevitably going to get worse, and nobody's doing anything about it.
02:22:40.900And so even just seeing that from Bernier, Bernier has been really good the last week, I've noticed.
02:22:45.600And it's because he's tapping into this very primal, very vulgar, very brutal.
02:22:51.860I like the term grug, you know, caveman kind of tribalism.
02:22:56.800Like, I don't know that that is the most look, it's the most powerful argument.
02:23:00.540I know this is not what the space is about.
02:23:04.480He's been doing since our conference in Victoria, there was a lot of people just plain speaking.
02:23:08.900And he knew he was affecting the crowds more with his plain, plain speech, and just being real. And the way he's, and a lot of people were saying, you got to, you got to kick up your social media presence, you know, you really got to get at that. And I think he's changing his ways. I mean, not that he wasn't, it's just being, it's more obvious now. And I really, really like what he's saying and what he's doing. And that's exactly what we need. And I know it can be crass, it can be a little Trumpish, whatever. I don't give a shit. It needs, we need that. We absolutely need that.
02:23:38.900Yeah. And, you know, it's definitely not irrelevant to the space because, you know, I think we've done a good job at defining the problem here. And it is related to racial identity because residential school denialism and, you know, Truth and Reconciliation Day, I do believe like the main goal or the main sort of outcome is let's normalize the resentment and hatred of white people.
02:24:01.760and uh you know in effect that's kind of what uh what's happening and really Bernier with his
02:24:09.440platform with an established party with the fact that he does have tenure in the house of commons
02:24:14.000there's a lot of legitimacy there he is he he really is the best positioned to help fight
02:24:19.900against this help fight back against this and I think um yeah I think maybe it will be worthwhile
02:24:25.640to to have a space on that I I do I mean it was sort of a private conversation but I did go to a
02:24:30.940ppc event last week uh and i did get a chance to speak to him and i was explaining to him i was
02:24:36.880showing him like the instagram and i'm like yo like all of the and i was going to six buzz for
02:24:41.040those who don't know six buzz that they really post a lot of uh you know inflammatory kind of
02:24:46.060like clickbait rage bait outrageous dramatic stuff if people didn't know there was a recent
02:24:51.180video of a uber eats driver spitting in someone's drink which is just like so such detestable
02:24:59.120behavior uh see greg this this is the thing that i find so fascinating i was talking about this on
02:25:05.520the last i heard your take on this i heard your take on this and it's so fascinating to me that
02:25:10.100it's like you know for years i've been trying to tell canadians like look it's affecting housing
02:25:14.700look it's affecting health care look you know it's it's suppressing wages it's making it so that
02:25:19.780your kids can't get an entry-level job it's you know disenfranchising you it's it's you know
02:25:25.600it's creating a population trap it's destroying our economy it's a complete drain on a like all
02:25:31.600these things and these are all true and they're all valid and they're all good arguments but you
02:25:35.800know what that that isn't what really worked surprisingly at convincing canadians that mass
02:25:40.860immigration is not good for them surprisingly what it takes is seeing a an uber eats driver
02:25:47.180spit in somebody's drink apparently that's that's it's seeing a seek man pooping next to a river
02:25:52.740That's what really does it. It's seeing an Indian, you know, take his ass out at a gas station. It's watching, you know, Muslims poach fish in a river. Like it's not none of these, these charts, these statistics, these economic arguments, they don't work as well as just, hey, these people suck. Like, look at what they're doing to our country. Like, it's fascinating to me that unfortunately, I don't even necessarily like it.
02:26:18.000But the truth is, this kind of like just basic tribalism is actually what's going to wake Canadians up more than any kind of academic or intellectual argument you can make about it.
02:26:29.460It is a fascinating phenomenon that we've seen over the past maybe, what, six to nine months where having an anti-immigrant sentiment is becoming more popular.
02:26:40.360And as I said earlier, like with apolitical people.
02:26:44.460It's like, OK, now that they're spitting and they're spitting in someone's Uber Eats delivery, like, OK, maybe maybe this is a problem.
02:26:50.860And I think, you know, to get into the psychology real quick, the the the the disgust instinct is like a very strong and deep one that we all have.
02:27:00.440And it sort of supersedes your politics, you know, even if you're like a far left progressive.
02:27:05.880It's like you see something disgusting like that and it's like, wait a minute.
02:27:09.940Maybe I am a bit racist. Wait, what's going on here?
02:27:12.260you know it's and it and it is you're talking about this earlier ferriman which is you know
02:27:16.360we are sobering up to this reality this tribal reality of multiculturalism like you know we've
02:27:23.740seen justin trudeau for the past nine years preach the benefits of diversity and multiculturalism and
02:27:29.920it's here now it's here how do we like it how do we like it and of course there's very very
02:27:36.080ugly uh realities to that and um i mean what else is there to say other than you know the far right
02:27:44.440continues to be vindicated you know it's uh it's it's so this is kind of off topic but it's so
02:27:50.840funny that you know the ppc and max bernier iran in 2019 gets thrown under the bus for daring to
02:27:58.700oppose multiculturalism and mass migration and now the same journalists who are smearing us in 2019
02:28:04.360are like maybe mass migration is a problem here's why it's like you know it's just yeah
02:28:11.200um just that guys i just want to do some housekeeping can we drop a few and get some
02:28:16.680people back like on the panel uh like maybe somebody who has done speaking can we drop down
02:28:22.760and let a few more people up please yeah that would be great um uh did you want to say something
02:28:29.500fairy i was going to go to the sun oh i i was just going to say the thing that i find really
02:28:33.400fascinating about this ppc arc is that you know look in hindsight it's easy to see this now but
02:28:40.380the truth is that everything they did to try and convince you know the people that they weren't
02:28:45.480racist and that you know really it was not about uh you know race it was about culture and it wasn't
02:28:51.840about you know any particular group any of this kind of stuff in hindsight that was the mistake
02:28:57.360they should have just leaned into it from the beginning um because the truth is that the only
02:29:02.020way that you can defeat these accusations is by not caring about them anymore you win whenever
02:29:07.940you stop trying to convince people you're not racist and you just say okay i'm racist now what
02:29:13.160yep absolutely now now okay i admit it i'm racist now let's talk about what's actually going on
02:29:19.660perfect and that's exactly what the politicians were afraid of i don't want to be called a racist
02:29:23.140so they don't talk exactly and to be to be frank i think that bernier was he was playing this game
02:29:28.660And I think to honestly, from the way I see it until very recently, he was playing this game of I'm not going to be like, I'm going to do everything I can to not be perceived as being racist. And from what I'm seeing now, it seems like he's decided that, you know, fuck it, let's, let's do it. Because this is not working. This game of, of, you know, being well, I'm not right. It's never going to work.
02:29:51.420Because for the reasons I stated earlier, these people aren't actually, they don't actually believe you're racist or if they do, there's no way that you're going to convince them that you are racist. It's purely a power game. Their only concern is how can I silence you? It's not, again, it's not a good faith position that they come from.
02:30:11.100the only thing they're trying to do is is beat you it's a pure power game it's pure it's pure
02:30:17.060just basic aggressive uh you know cutthroat politics that's the game you're they're playing
02:30:24.040and you're playing the game of well if we can just convince enough people that we're not racist then
02:30:28.280maybe we can talk about you know ending mass immigration it's never going to work you have
02:30:32.480to just lean into it yeah yeah and and it's it is super misguided and naive because you know the
02:30:38.420liberal establishment has made the rules
02:43:33.040I mean, I'm I'm afraid I'm not going to be that hopeful person.
02:43:38.040I'm quite cynical about everything that's happening at this point.
02:43:42.040There's not many people speaking up in twenty twenty one when I stopped teaching.
02:43:49.040I spoke up about it and at the time I thought, OK, this is going to be it like people.
02:43:54.040Other people are going to follow suit and we're going to get like a big, large number of teachers who come out and say, look, this is not OK.
02:44:01.040okay. And that just hasn't really happened. There are some teachers like Jim McMurtry and a few
02:44:07.920others that have come out, but it's a very small number. I think in schools, teachers that I talk
02:44:17.200to, I have a lot of contacts in different schools across the country, and a lot of them say they
02:44:23.800don't think that most of the teachers are enthusiastic about this stuff. However, nobody's
02:44:30.740really speaking up against it. So everybody's just silent. And
02:44:36.080you can't really get that far with with.
02:44:40.040Yeah, and man, that really pains me to hear that. You know, I've
02:44:46.640started this project save free speech.ca to stop Bill C 63. And
02:44:51.080you know, one one thing is stopping a legislation, which
02:44:54.140would, you know, essentially allow the government to easily
02:44:56.900weaponize this new legislation against people who they don't
02:44:59.700like or have the wrong opinion or who intensely dislike someone like you know to give you an
02:45:03.920example when it comes to uh you know the gender indoctrination if i were to publicly disavow
02:45:10.400this gender indoctrination you could argue that i'm bullying a trans child and get my stuff taken
02:45:16.320down off the internet and then say that you know all sorts of stuff it's it's crazy what's in this
02:45:20.100bill but i've realized that you know the cultural stuff is almost even more important which is do
02:45:26.580canadians even want their free speech they don't even use their free speech they all agree not all
02:45:32.420of them but like many people agree that they disagree with the gender ideology or that maybe
02:45:36.580they disagree with this uh you know sort of colonization narrative of of white um privilege
02:45:43.860but no one says anything no one says anything everyone's too afraid to say something um and
02:45:49.720it's like okay if that continues to be the case do we even deserve our free speech like do we even
02:45:55.220have the will as canadians to even fight for our free speech like that this is kind of what keeps
02:45:59.540me up at night and i'm hoping to you know push encourage canadians in the right direction but
02:46:03.880you know what are your your thoughts on that chanel
02:46:06.120i mean i totally agree it's like when are people going to wake up so many people think
02:46:13.480that this is just a little phase and it's going to pass and you know it's not a big deal if we're
02:46:18.240writing things into law and passing bills against uh free expression and all that and that's just
02:46:24.280not the case it's like i guess canadians are just we seem to be quite ignorant of um history and how
02:46:33.120thank you silver man and buddy for the hundred dollars i'm authoritarian and totalitarian
02:46:38.900it starts in with small steps right so we need to do something about it now and just
02:46:45.580it's through being courageous hopefully inspire others to be courageous
02:46:49.760yeah yeah the totalitarian tiptoe as they call it like you know it's slowly but surely it
02:46:56.660encroaches upon us and um it's simple but i think you're right it's as simple as being courageous
02:47:03.300and and standing up and i really think that a lot of the people in the sort of right wing right now
02:47:08.980uh you know in in this twitter space who are you know further right i think that um you know
02:47:16.600we're going to look back and be like yeah we were the early adopters of just standing up
02:47:21.100and and telling the truth you know what i mean um i think that we're on the right side of history
02:47:25.880we have the truth on their side all these things and uh that's why we're all here there's something
02:47:31.480inside all of us that's kind of drawing us to be like uh something is wrong here i cannot just shut
02:47:37.940up about this right and i think that's very powerful that we're able the people on this call
02:51:42.700uh-oh is anything working right now my twitter space is really lagging at the moment
02:51:50.820Is it working again? Can you guys hear me? Can you hear me? Greg? Can you hear me? I can hear you guys fine. So, okay. Okay. I think my computer. I can hear Greg fine.
02:52:03.780Can you, you guys can hear me? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I go ahead. Ferryman. I think it's interesting what Chanel just said.
02:52:14.500so this is something that gets brought up a lot and uh i this used this argument used to resonate
02:52:23.480with me the individualist argument the idea that like look if we can all just get all get along a
02:52:29.760lot easier chat what do i do how do i fix this this is nonsense i'm sorry i i know you don't
02:52:39.480have to like it i don't necessarily like it all the time either but the reality is that um you
02:52:44.780know the the term identity politics gets thrown out all the time the truth is that politics is
02:52:50.820an identity game that's exactly what it is politics has always been about serving certain
02:52:57.140identifiable groups was about protecting specific folk a specific ethnic group this is why we have
02:53:08.660these things. Politics is something that derived or evolved as a way of allowing a group to face
02:53:17.160existential threats. It was about being able to mobilize your people. The modern nation state
02:53:22.400itself is an expression of ethnic identity. Everything we have in this world, these kinds
02:53:27.960of systems, and basically what they've done is contrived a situation where they tell every other
02:53:32.820identifiable group that they are allowed to act in their collective interests as they actively
02:53:37.020tell you that when you do it you're the woke right and that's identity politics and that's bad
02:53:41.760you are being handcuffed as you are being beaten to death and then you're being told that if you
02:53:48.220act in your own interests you're evil i'm sorry i i wish we could have the world that chanel is
02:53:55.000describing where we just didn't judge each other based on these things and we didn't see the
02:53:59.420difference in race and we didn't see these things but it's just not true and unless we uh you know
02:54:04.160Canadians, white Canadians start asserting ourselves as a group and, you know, looking out
02:54:09.740for our own interests and identifying that we are, in fact, a distinct group, that we do have a
02:54:14.500specific set of values, that we do have a distinct culture, history, heritage, you know, all of these
02:54:19.640things, then we're just going to be continued to be walked all over by these other groups.
02:54:24.900So I don't know. I mean, I hear you. That's my perspective on it. I'm tired. I'll put it this
02:54:29.920way i'm tired of of being told that i have to be an individual while all of these other groups are
02:54:36.000you know coalesced into one bipoc mob and then used to bludgeon me so you know what it's not for
02:54:43.700me i think it's not for me to stop acting in my collective interest if you want that i would
02:54:50.000suggest you take that to the bipoc and to the left and you tell them to stop doing it because it's not
02:54:55.800us who started this it's the other side and so now this has become a matter of survival if we
02:55:01.420don't start asserting ourselves as a collective group we are doomed okay i find it really
02:55:06.520interesting that you think that you see it as they're pushing you to be more of an individual
02:55:12.420or less of a collective because i actually see it
02:55:15.440well they are i think they're trying to make us into more of a collective and forget our individual
02:58:12.620yeah yeah yeah you're good okay yeah no i um i i do i do think chanel is on to something here
02:58:21.180though because you know it's like people who oppose the ideology like let's say that the
02:58:29.260residential school denial um they can still very much get on our side and wanting to fight for free
02:58:35.180speech and i think it's important to not make it all about all about being white you know what i
02:58:41.260I mean, I think there is a small distinction there that I think is important because we want more people on our side.
02:58:47.140We want people who are non-white to be like, yeah, it's actually really shitty how you're being treated, you know, by being demonized with this residential school denialism.
02:58:57.720You know, like this is something that everyone can get on board, white and non-white alike, because it's simply it's wrong.
02:59:03.160you know like recognizing that um you know the colonizers are being demonized like you know it's
02:59:10.180it's uh more people can get on board with that obviously i think where ferryman is coming from
02:59:15.940is like well the people being demonized have the most to lose and the people who are non-white you
02:59:23.100know the willingness for them to stand up for us because of tribalism is you know it's they're uh
02:59:29.780they're also but you say stand up for us stand up for themselves like standing up for freedom
02:59:36.640and individualism and and all these values that i'm standing up for even if they're black that's
02:59:41.900that's in their best interest upholding you know the principles of western society is in their best
02:59:49.020interest it's not i don't operate with this like race centric view that you guys seem to have it's
02:59:55.400just it's um i don't know i just disagree fundamentally with a lot of what i'm hearing
03:00:00.200here but that's that's just me can i jump in yeah please go ahead dying it goes back to so
03:00:07.600one thing i haven't heard mentioned all night is the crown the crown because as much as like
03:00:14.480growing up we always heard oh the crown doesn't have much to do with canada blah blah blah
03:00:18.640the indian and the crowd the indian is the key to we have to get rid of the crown in order to
03:00:25.240um have whatever we're talking about here us white the indian is the only one that can
03:00:33.000get rid of the crown and that's why they continuously oppress them and pay them off
03:00:37.460and do what they do um i gotta gather my thoughts i've never spoken in a space or anything i've
03:00:45.500never spoken on anything but sure uh so what are you what are you talking about with uh with a
03:00:51.060crown the crown is the key and the crown the british royal crown is the key all our politicians
03:00:59.020nobody's going to do anything to for us because they are sworn to the crown
03:01:04.340all of them are they're not for us it all goes back to the crown we have to get rid of the crown
03:01:12.500now the only um nation really if you want to call it a race that can get rid of the crown
03:01:21.500yeah right people need to i'm sorry are we gonna i hear what you're saying i hear where you're
03:01:29.120and i'm not talking out of my ass i've i've done a lot a lot of research
03:01:32.820craig you mind if i speak for a minute yeah uh sure yeah i hear i hear where you're coming from
03:01:38.340um meltell uh the only problem with you know i know you've done the research and all this
03:01:43.340uh the only problem with that is like this is kind of like the whole sovereign citizen like
03:01:47.900if you look into the legislature that you know it's really the crown this isn't going to change
03:01:54.300because you know there's so much explanation that needs to happen for somebody to understand all of
03:01:59.600this and it's just it's just so far away from from anybody understanding uh getting to get
03:02:04.960on board with that like we can hardly even get people on board with opposing the gender ideology
03:02:09.860in schools you know and that should be a really simple one for the average person to be able to
03:02:14.080get up off their couch and be like hey something's wrong here so this idea of you know going way back
03:02:20.620into into documents that have to do with the crown like it's it's so far away for the average person
03:02:25.900to understand that so um and you know respectfully i just feel like a lot of that sovereign citizen
03:02:31.100stuff it's you know it's i don't think it's really going to be the stuff that activates people
03:02:36.340Whereas, you know, something like the sort of the demonization of us as colonizers and seeing stuff being taught in school, that's kind of absurd.
03:02:47.280Like that's going to be a much more sort of visceral thing that that gets people activated and actually speaking up about stuff.
03:02:55.860I did get a I do want to quickly go back to Chanel, though.
03:02:59.060I saw a message in my chat, which is ask Chanel what she thinks of CRT or critical race theory.
03:03:06.340uh did you did you want to speak to that
