Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. Great to have you here today. It is Sunday, December the
00:00:05.700
29th, just after six o'clock with the big blue mug of coffee this morning. I've enjoyed a couple of
00:00:11.380
mugs already. It was up just after 4 a.m. and a lot of people are talking about a viral video
00:00:18.560
that happened here in Canada. I think this one has gone worldwide. We're going to talk about that
00:00:23.620
today. Lots of talk about Justin Trudeau, whether he'll resign, pro-rogue government, whether we'll
00:00:28.060
have a vote of non-confidence, whether Singh and the NDP will vote non-confidence in the government.
00:00:32.840
It's all speculation and BS. We could do that all day long. Let's talk about the woman who told Justin
00:00:38.340
Trudeau to get the F out of British Columbia. You've probably seen the video on this one and I've got
00:00:44.660
my take on it because there was lots of discussion on this on X yesterday. Whether we should be
00:00:51.440
speaking to our political leaders like this and whether this is a very Canadian thing to do. If
00:01:01.660
Mr. Prime Minister, please get the fuck out of BC. Have a wonderful day, man. Yeah, you suck.
00:01:13.880
So what do you think of that approach for someone who is a public elected official, even if it is
00:01:20.400
Justin Trudeau? I've been back and forth on this one since I first saw that video. Apparently the
00:01:26.820
woman's name is Emily Duggan. I've got a little bit of a quote from her from an article that was
00:01:31.840
written about this video. I'll do that in just a moment. But I've landed in a place and the reason
00:01:36.440
I've landed there is because of something that's a little bit different. I think a different perspective
00:01:41.500
on this one. Let's look at some of the people who have commented on X on this. We'll look at Justin
00:01:47.620
Trudeau's ego. Okay, this is a funny take on it. Today I was greeted by my adoring fans in BC. Volume
00:01:54.440
up and listen as this woman says we love you. Please run again for more years. Or at least that's what
00:01:59.600
it sounded like in my head. But more often than not, people were responding like this. This woman
00:02:05.100
speaks for all of us. This is from Wright Bland. Mr. Prime Minister, please get the F out of BC.
00:02:10.780
You suck. Or this one right here from Joe Warmington who writes for the Toronto Sun. Yes,
00:02:16.440
he scolded Canadians, divided them, froze their bank accounts, brought in the Horses and Emergencies
00:02:21.140
Act to round them up, and plummeted the country deep into debt. So he deserves an earful, but
00:02:26.180
he's still Prime Minister. Now, Warmington has written an article about this. Here it is right
00:02:31.420
here. I'll put a link in the description so you can read it as well. Warmington, Justin Trudeau ambushed
00:02:36.820
at BC Ski Resort and told to get the F out of town. And again, the woman who did the video
00:02:44.800
is named Emily Duggan apparently. And in the article from Warmington, she says this, quote,
00:02:50.060
Justin Trudeau walked right in front of me just as my family was leaving the ski hill. And I was like,
00:02:55.420
I have something to say to you, man, she said. It was just a spontaneous organic moment that I had
00:03:02.460
been joking about all day. Oh, if I see Justin Trudeau, I am going to say this, that, and the
00:03:07.160
other. So she told him to get the F out of BC. Now, there have been some other people commenting
00:03:13.060
on this on the other side of this issue, which I thought about as well, okay? And you may have
00:03:17.860
thought about it. I'm not a fan of the dude, but don't just use ad hominem, especially when he's in
00:03:22.980
front of his kids. Point well taken. Woman in BC harasses Prime Minister Justin Trudeau while he's
00:03:28.620
on his vacation telling him to get the F out of BC. You suck. Truly an immature approach. And here's
00:03:35.320
another one right here. He does not deserve to be treated this way. How crass and rude. Let's just
00:03:40.120
vote him out. So we've got people on both sides of this issue. But there was a poll on the Toronto Sun
00:03:47.400
website. Here it is right here. None overwhelmingly in favor of this question. Is it okay to give Trudeau
00:03:54.580
a profanity-laced earful while he's vacationing with family? And at the point of this, which was
00:03:59.720
about five o'clock this morning, 58.3%, it's perfectly fine to do this to the Prime Minister
00:04:05.760
of Canada. So where do I stand on this issue? Well, I think it's perfectly fine to do something
00:04:13.740
like this to the Prime Minister, but for a different reason. I have a saying. If you have
00:04:21.160
to use profanity to make a point, it's not worth listening to. Now, I don't always follow
00:04:26.800
that rule, and perhaps I should. I did a video last week calling Jagmeet Singh the biggest
00:04:32.180
piece of blank in Canadian political history. I did do that. But sometimes I think it's easier
00:04:40.620
to make a point when you do things like that. But the reason why I think it's okay to do
00:04:45.160
this to Justin Trudeau is for the following reasons. We have a Charter of Rights and Freedoms
00:04:51.720
in this country. Here it is on the screen right now if you want to take a look at it. And the
00:04:55.700
Charter of Rights and Freedoms gives you specific rights that I think are very, very important.
00:05:02.000
And let's look at Section 2 of the Charter right now. And if you look at B there, you're given
00:05:06.780
freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression, including freedom of the press and other media
00:05:12.760
of communication. Now, unfortunately, Section 1 of the Charter can nullify most of your rights
00:05:18.320
in this country. That's why I think it should be repealed, and we should remove it from the
00:05:22.340
Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Freedoms and your rights are absolute as far as I'm concerned. But
00:05:27.100
the reason why I think it's important to be able to say things like this to the Prime Minister,
00:05:31.620
and it was within the realm of what Emily Duggan wanted to say to the Prime Minister,
00:05:37.080
is because of Trudeau and the way he wants to attack your free speech rights. There's a number
00:05:42.180
of different bills out there. I wrote them down, just a quick line on each one, because there's
00:05:46.660
about four of them that want to limit what you can say as a Canadian citizen, despite Section 2
00:05:52.980
of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I'm going to just read them off the screen now and give you
00:05:57.060
a little brief synopsis. Bill C-11, CRTC regulation of the internet, making Canadian content more
00:06:05.820
prevalent, government control of information with Bill C-11, and they will boost government-friendly
00:06:11.460
sources. So you will have the government being able to tell you what you can and cannot see on
00:06:17.280
the internet. Then there's Bill C-18, forcing search engines and social media to pay for links they
00:06:22.860
provide to news organizations. Now what is considered a news organization? That would be
00:06:27.760
considered by the government. They would determine who is a news organization. So people like Rebel
00:06:34.740
News, True North are people who report online who consider themselves journalists. Are they news
00:06:39.940
organizations? Probably not in Justin Trudeau's world. C-36, an act to amend the Criminal Code and the
00:06:46.620
Canadian Human Rights Act and to make related amendments to another act, including hate propaganda,
00:06:52.500
hate crimes and hate speech. Well, what is hate speech? What is a hate crime? Government would
00:06:57.460
determine what is hate speech. I did a video the other day asking Trudeau to fire a woman who is a
00:07:02.820
Muslim woman. Would that be considered hate speech? Could I go to jail for doing that or be fined because
00:07:08.700
of hate speech for my personal opinion, my free speech? And then there's Bill C-63, online content
00:07:16.040
moderation by the government of anything that is harmful and pointing out specific groups that are
00:07:22.700
considered, if you said something against them, would be considered a hate crime. And some of these
00:07:28.300
things have huge fines and jail terms involved with them. So Trudeau is trying to clamp down on your
00:07:36.200
freedom of speech. And I think it's important that you have it and are willing to or act on your freedom
00:07:43.400
of speech when it comes to people like Justin Trudeau. And people are rightfully pissed off
00:07:49.800
about what Justin Trudeau has done over the last nine years. I mean, increased cost of living, the
00:07:56.480
cost of food, the cost of rent, the cost of housing. We've had the We Scandal, SNC-Lavalin, the Green
00:08:01.480
Slush Fund, AgaCon, Chinese interference in our elections, traders in government, the Arrive Can app,
00:08:09.400
which cost millions of dollars. He's doubled the debt, massive deficits, carbon tax on everything,
00:08:15.180
freezing bank accounts, things like that got people pissed off. And I think they have a right
00:08:21.140
to let the government and Trudeau know how pissed off they are and they want him to leave. So good
00:08:28.120
on Emily Duggan. That's where I stand on this issue. How do you feel about it? Let me know in the
00:08:33.560
comments below. I do appreciate you watching. See you on the next one.
