00:00:00.000 I was doing some research on Bill C-63 and the liberal minister who presented it, Arif Farhani,
00:00:06.040 and realized that Arif is part of the Ismaili Muslim community.
00:00:10.300 They are a small part of Islam, but as I recalled, they actually have a very beautiful museum here in Toronto,
00:00:16.820 the Aga Khan Museum. It's gorgeous.
00:00:20.260 Based on what I've read, Ismaili Muslims were kicked out of Africa in the 70s,
00:00:24.940 and a number of them were graciously welcomed into Canada after that.
00:00:28.400 But Arif Farhani's parents, for example, were part of this generation
00:00:32.020 who were very grateful to allow themselves to be established here in Canada.
00:00:36.400 And now I'm wondering, where is Arif Farhani's gratitude for being welcomed here to Canada?
00:00:41.960 His Bill C-63, the Online Harms Act, would be the end of free speech in this country.
00:00:47.580 And Tlaib Nur Muhammad, another liberal MP, and his smiley Muslim, 1.00
00:00:52.160 he was one of the first people to suggest the freezing of bank accounts for peaceful protesters
00:00:58.180 in this country.
00:01:00.340 Are Ismaili Muslims even aware what these two liberal MPs representing their community are even up to? 1.00
00:01:06.980 These two individuals are violating the fundamental human rights that we enjoy here in Canada.
00:01:13.800 I mean, as Ismaili Muslims, where is their gratitude for this country 1.00
00:01:18.740 and the freedoms they were afforded after being expelled from Africa?
00:01:22.480 As a Canadian who's watching our liberties slowly get taken away,
00:01:26.900 I'm wondering, where will I escape to?
00:01:29.800 Where will we escape to?
00:01:32.900 But hey, I'm just learning about some of this stuff for the first time,
00:01:36.040 but I do want to learn more.
00:01:37.220 So if you know anything about the Ismaili community
00:01:39.260 and you are concerned about our freedoms being taken away with Bill C-63
00:01:43.280 and you have information, then please email me at info at savefreespeech.ca.
00:01:49.440 Thank you.
