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.
