00:00:00.320 Hey there, it's John. Welcome to the channel, just down in the basement, checking out what's
00:00:05.480 going on in the world. And I came across a video on YouTube about a story that has been
00:00:11.780 percolating for the last couple of days. It's November 13th, and two days ago, it was Remembrance
00:00:17.400 Day here in Canada. And for those people who don't have a day like this, it's a day where
00:00:21.920 we honor the people who gave their lives in service of their country. They call it Veterans
00:00:26.620 Day in the United States, I believe. And the video came across here on YouTube is from
00:00:31.500 Michelle Rempel-Garner. She is an MP for the Conservative Party. I believe her writing,
00:00:37.740 Calgary Nose Hill, so just north of where I live here in Calgary. And her video is called
00:00:43.060 Disgusting, Woke Ontario School Principal Ruins Remembrance Day. So she goes on at length to
00:00:50.360 talk about this and how she's addressing this horrific thing that happened at a school in
00:00:54.620 Ontario. So let me just read the National Post headline on this, and then I'll read something
00:00:59.260 quickly from the newsletter that I get from Michelle Rempel-Garner every week. Ontario School played
00:01:05.220 Palestinian protest song in Arabic as its Remembrance Day music. They chose an Arabic song 0.90
00:01:12.620 about peace for Gaza as the only song to play for a Remembrance Day service, said a disappointed
00:01:19.820 parent. Now over to the newsletter that Michelle Rempel-Garner writes every week. By the way,
00:01:25.520 she could be a great journalist after she quits her job as a politician in the future. But from that 1.00
00:01:32.200 newsletter, Principal Aaron Hobbs defended this election during one of those meetings,
00:01:37.420 they had meetings regarding this, saying it was chosen to bring diversity and inclusion
00:01:42.180 to Remembrance Day that is usually only about, quote, a white guy who has done something related
00:01:49.840 to the military, unquote. Again, I'm going to say that one more time, quote, a white guy who has done
00:01:57.340 something related to the military, unquote. Now, as someone who has celebrated Remembrance Day ceremonies
00:02:06.520 since I was old enough to stand, and somebody who's gone to Remembrance Day ceremonies in the cities
00:02:13.620 I've lived in, including here in Calgary, this is something that I consider incredibly vile and
00:02:18.780 disrespectful. And I think the parents who were upset about this, as I mentioned in that National
00:02:24.580 Post headline and sub-headline there, their parents need to pull their kids out of the school. 0.95
00:02:29.940 They should pull them out of school, and they won't return until Mr. Hobbs is removed from his
00:02:34.880 position. He should not have a job as a principal at any school. And parents need to understand that
00:02:41.340 a lot of teachers think this way as well. I think we learned a lot during COVID when kids were learning
00:02:45.580 from home, you know, on Zoom calls and whatnot. We found out what teachers were actually teaching
00:02:50.800 their kids today as we fall further and further behind in reading, writing, and arithmetic. They're
00:02:55.820 learning this activist and warped mentality and ideology in school. So parents, take your kids out of
00:03:02.400 that school until this man loses his job. Which brings me to the diversity and inclusion part of
00:03:08.500 what Mr. Hobbs said this was about when he played that song on Remembrance Day. I'm going to take you
00:03:14.860 to the U.S. election now. Donald Trump is now the President of the United States, and I've been watching
00:03:18.840 him nominate people for his cabinet. And I think DEI, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, is going to die in the
00:03:27.280 United States with Donald Trump. I'm hoping it happens here in Canada within the next year when
00:03:32.480 we have an election here. And Trudeau has finally shown the door, and I hope it hits him in his ass
00:03:37.060 when he's leaving. And we elect Pierre Polyev as our new Prime Minister, and Michelle Rumpel-Garner
00:03:41.800 will no doubt be a cabinet member. I have no doubt about that. But I think with Donald Trump, DEI is
00:03:46.840 going to die. You know, it's ingrained in everything in the United States government now because of Joe Biden
00:03:52.120 and Kamala Harris and the Democrats over there, even in their military, if we're talking about
00:03:57.260 Remembrance Day and remember people who died for their country. I mean, they had drag queens doing 1.00
00:04:02.500 recruitment videos for the military, and they're falling way behind when it comes to recruitment.
00:04:07.920 You know, when you hire somebody based on an immutable characteristic, for instance, the color of
00:04:14.680 their skin, it means you're not hiring somebody for the same reason. And that's racism.
00:04:20.900 See, they've got it all wrong, and I'm talking about the left here. Diversity, equity, and inclusion
00:04:26.700 excludes people based on an immutable characteristic. It's racism, it's bigotry, and it needs to stop.
00:04:34.840 I think about Martin Luther King all the time when I hear DEI. Martin Luther King stood up, 1963,
00:04:43.260 I believe it was in Washington, D.C., in front of the great emancipator Abraham Lincoln, right,
00:04:47.520 looking over that pool of water. 300,000, 400,000 people showed up, and his speech was,
00:04:52.920 I have a dream. And one of his dreams was, this is what he said, I want to live in a world where my
00:04:59.460 children are judged not by the color of their skin, but the content of their character.
00:05:04.660 You know, conservatives think you get hired on merit. We don't care what color your skin is. If you are, 0.99
00:05:10.420 you know, looking for a job and you're good at it, you will get hired. It doesn't matter what color
00:05:15.480 you are. It's the left that are constantly making color or those immutable characteristics the most
00:05:21.440 important thing. I often wonder how long it's going to be before the left marches on Martin Luther
00:05:29.080 King's memorial and wants to tear that one down, because they've lost their way.
00:05:33.420 Thanks for watching.
