There's a saying, "Slowly and then all at once" and it applies to censorship and hate speech. Some things seem far off in the distance and then suddenly they seem like they're happening right now at the same time. Bill C22, Bill C9, and Bill C34 are just some of the things that seem to be happening at the moment.

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 434 a.m. Thursday, June the 18th. Hope you're having a
00:00:08.440 great start today. I appreciate you being here. Thank you so much. And by the way, I don't do
00:00:13.480 this at the beginning of the video very often. You know if you watch here regularly. If you're
00:00:18.100 a subscriber, thank you. If you're not, most people do not subscribe. If you would please
00:00:22.440 click on subscribe, I would appreciate it. Thank you very much. There's a saying, slowly and then
00:00:29.980 all at once. And the first topic we're going to talk about today, some things are bugging me today
00:00:34.660 and I do not want to be the angry old man. I don't, but I get angry when it comes to
00:00:38.900 some of the issues we're talking about today. Slowly and then all at once. Some of these
00:00:43.940 things seemed way off in the distance and all of a sudden these things are happening
00:00:47.740 right now at the same time. We're going to start off by talking about censorship.
00:00:54.380 Censorship of what you may say. Censorship of what religions might be able to say. 0.99
00:00:59.980 hate speech and what the government determines hate speech. We're going to talk about them having 0.97
00:01:05.380 access to your personal information and what you do online on your electronics, because
00:01:10.940 these things were off in the distance, but, and they came slowly and boom, they're all happening
00:01:15.680 at the same time. And I'm going to be brief here. As I've said many times here, Shakespeare said,
00:01:20.260 brevity is the soul of wit. So I'm going to say very little on these topics today. In fact,
00:01:24.800 in one case, I'm going to say nothing at all. There's another saying, silence is the best
00:01:29.900 negotiator. So I'm going to be silent in one case today when it comes to one of the censorship laws
00:01:35.440 that are happening right now. So we know that this one's been going on for the last little while,
00:01:41.220 and this would be Bill C-22. The liberals are going to push this through by the end of the week,
00:01:46.940 and people are concerned about this. We'll go down here and just read a little bit of it.
00:01:51.040 conservative MPs taking issue with how the Liberal government is trying to push its controversial
00:01:55.740 lawful access legislation through the House of Commons before MPs break for the summer.
00:02:01.380 Government House Leader Steve McKinnon tabled a motion on Tuesday that if passed would cut down
00:02:05.740 the time the House Public Safety Committee can consider Bill C-22. Here's Gary Anandasangari,
00:02:11.940 your public safety minister, who really doesn't know much about public safety at all. He says he
00:02:16.860 wants this pushed through by the end of the week. A couple of paragraphs down here again will be
00:02:20.920 brief. Two of the country's most prominent civil rights advocates, Citizen Lab and the Canadian
00:02:25.700 Civil Liberties Association, have argued that it could create a surveillance capability regime
00:02:31.240 with minimal restrictions. U.S. tech giants like Apple, Meta, and Google argue the bill's
00:02:37.440 technological demands would weaken or break encryption, a key safety measure used by
00:02:42.840 activists, lawmakers, journalists, and everyday Canadians to safeguard communications and other
00:02:48.340 important information. Very soon, it's going to be much easier for the authorities, the government,
00:02:53.040 police, to get access to your personal information and your electronics, and this is a bad thing.
00:02:59.380 Now, I talked about this one the other day, Bill C-34. Many people in favor of this bill. It would
00:03:05.100 keep children 16 and under off of social media, but is it a backdoor to more censorship? It is.
00:03:10.660 more surveillance. You'll likely have to use face recognition technology very soon in order to
00:03:16.260 access things you've been accessing easily over the last several years. Another thing that was
00:03:21.360 in the distance, but is now upon us. And then there's this one as well. Bill C-9. Senate ignores
00:03:28.220 warnings and passes Bill C-9. I did a video on this last year, and this is what I had to say.
00:03:40.660 Amen.
00:04:10.660 I'm really concerned about Bill C9.
00:04:20.140 You may say, John, you're being alarmist.
00:04:21.820 Nothing's going to happen.
00:04:22.920 I'm concerned.
00:04:23.720 I have done videos on this channel where I've created a thumbnail that said possible future hate crime.
00:04:29.820 Somebody could come back and look at a video I've said, which talks about basic biological fact, if you get my drift,
00:04:37.700 and come back and say what I've said is a hate crime.
00:04:40.300 and I could end up in court.
00:04:41.980 So be prepared for a GoFundMe or a Give, Send, Go
00:04:45.860 in order to help me defend myself in court
00:04:48.340 about things that I say.
00:04:49.500 And be careful what you're saying online
00:04:51.020 because they could be coming after you.
00:04:53.200 Case in point, article.
00:04:54.600 This is just from yesterday.
00:04:56.180 Police log hate incident against mother
00:04:58.480 who failed to call her T-child by their new name.
00:05:01.680 They're known as non-crime hate incidents.
00:05:05.100 This happens all the time in England, 30 times a day.
00:05:09.120 listen to what this man says. What he says here is the truth. Well you can't say anything especially
00:05:15.620 in Britain now if you say a boy can't be a girl or a girl can't be a boy you get the police at
00:05:22.280 your door. You know if you get burgled if you get your house burgled the police will never show up
00:05:26.800 but if you say a boy cannot be a girl you'll get 15 police officers at your door. Don't you think
00:05:31.660 the police have something better to do than to investigate people because somebody had hurt
00:05:36.680 feelings. This is coming to Canada. Now, I've spoken about this maybe a little bit longer than
00:05:42.640 I wanted to, but I think speech is very important. Here's what Benjamin Franklin had to say about it.
00:05:48.300 Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.
00:05:53.520 Now, this next thing I'm going to talk about here, I've got a two-word answer to this one. Daniel
00:05:58.840 Smith has addressed this. Here's an article that ran this just from yesterday. You may have heard
00:06:04.020 about this. Assembly of Treaty Chiefs calls for treason investigation into Alberta Premier
00:06:09.080 and the UCP. These people are going way too far. How so few people can have so much control
00:06:16.980 over so many, like in my province, people that look a lot like this guy held up a petition
00:06:22.580 campaign and a question on a referendum here in Alberta. The question that we really wanted
00:06:28.640 regarding Alberta independence. Here's the actual information. This is the news release.
00:06:34.020 The Assembly of Treaty Chiefs of Treaties 6, 7, and 8, I'm in Treaty No. 7, by the way,
00:06:39.740 has unanimously passed a resolution calling for an investigation by the Royal Canadian Mounted
00:06:45.140 Police and Auditor General into the actions of Premier Daniel Smith and members of the UCP to
00:06:51.040 determine whether they constitute treason under Section 46 of the Criminal Code of Canada.
00:06:56.880 The vote took place in a duly convened meeting on Treaty 7 territory in Calgary, June 16,
00:07:01.940 2026 again i have a two-word answer to what has been done here here's premier danielle smith
00:07:09.540 premier treaty chiefs are calling for an investigation into whether your actions
00:07:13.240 over the independence referendum amount to treason under the criminal code what's your
00:07:17.200 response to that well i think it's disgraceful i think it's disgraceful that any government
00:07:21.780 that wants to be taken seriously would level the charges that serious against another government
00:07:26.220 look i've had my differences with the federal government but i have never used language like
00:07:30.600 that. I would ask the treaty chiefs to check themselves because we have a very collaborative
00:07:34.800 relationship between our government and our ministers. I want that to continue. But this
00:07:38.840 kind of overwrought language has no place in a democracy. When they were pursuing a new
00:07:45.180 relationship with Ottawa, I cheered them along. We are pursuing a new relationship with Ottawa
00:07:49.740 that respects our jurisdiction. And I would ask that they be respectful of that. But they need to,
00:07:55.320 that that language has no place in this democratic discussion.
00:07:58.320 I think that's a perfectly reasonable response from Premier Daniel Smith. Very politician-like,
00:08:04.660 but I don't have to be a politician. My two-word response to this would be, audit them.
00:08:11.620 Audit them and look at their books. I think these people would shut up pretty quickly if we looked
00:08:17.000 at where the money was going. I have a saying, reconciliation will never happen as long as the
00:08:23.060 grift continues. And I'm not saying the person you saw just a moment ago on the screen is corrupt,
00:08:30.480 but there's corruption going on, folks. There's another saying, there's a reason why the chief's
00:08:36.160 driveway is always paved. Don't you find it fascinating? And this is from Rebel News. If
00:08:41.240 only First Nations could vote, Alberta would already be independent. 46% of Indigenous people
00:08:47.000 in Alberta would vote to leave right now. I think that number is higher. I think they're afraid of 0.99
00:08:50.720 the chiefs, but audit them. Moving on to the last story. I don't want this to go on very long. I want
00:08:55.940 an answer to this. I want an answer to this immediately from the chief electoral officer
00:09:02.400 of Alberta, Gordon McClure. I happen to know because I heard it from somebody, I won't say
00:09:08.480 who it is. Somebody very high up in the Alberta independence movement has already filed a
00:09:14.200 complaint about this. Let's go over to the Forever Canadian website. I'll put it full screen so you
00:09:19.180 and take a look at it. Here it is. Show your support for unity with a free Forever Canadian
00:09:25.260 lawn sign. They're collecting information. There's Thomas LeCasic. That guy heads up
00:09:28.940 Forever Canadian. They're collecting information on people here. And this is what I want to know
00:09:33.960 about. We are proud of our sovereignty and unity as Canadians. Whether you're an individual,
00:09:39.600 a business, a union, or an association, your financial contributions can help fund this
00:09:44.480 grassroots initiative. There are no limits on donation amounts. Every contribution makes a
00:09:50.800 difference. There are no limits on donation amounts. Listen, Gordon McClure, chief electoral
00:09:58.920 officer of Alberta, there are limits on donations from what I've been told from my side on the
00:10:05.020 independence movement. $5,000 is the maximum. We have to form third-party advertisers that can
00:10:11.480 collect just slightly over $600,000. That's it. And every cent has to be reported to Elections
00:10:21.120 Alberta. Gordon McClure, how is it possible that Thomas Lukasik and Forever Canadian have a website
00:10:26.940 that says there are no limits on donations? I demand an answer on this right away. This is wrong
00:10:34.680 and we're going to look into it.
00:10:38.280 Thank you very much for watching.
