00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel, 5.59 a.m., Tuesday, December the 2nd.
00:00:07.680 I hope you're having a great start to your Tuesday morning.
00:00:10.320 I've got my big blue mug of coffee, of course, with me today.
00:00:13.800 Excuse me.
00:00:15.300 I'm glad you're here today.
00:00:16.720 I just want to start off this video by saying that it's quite possible this video might
00:00:21.000 be considered hate speech in the future.
00:00:25.700 Some group might not like what I say here.
00:00:28.380 I get reported to the police, I get a knock on my door, and I'm hauled off to jail in
00:00:35.760 handcuffs.
00:00:36.560 Some person might be offended by something I say, they don't like what I say online, and
00:00:43.320 I get a knock on the door, and I'm hauled off to jail by the police in handcuffs.
00:00:47.880 Thomas Paine said, he who dares not to offend cannot be honest.
00:00:52.520 So I might be a little offensive here, and this could be considered hate speech in the
00:00:56.080 not-too-distant future, if things continue the way they're going right now.
00:01:01.020 And I think there's two reasons why this is happening.
00:01:04.280 And let's go to the article.
00:01:06.540 This is happening today.
00:01:09.500 All right.
00:01:10.120 Conservatives blast removal of religious exemption and hate speech laws as an assault on freedom
00:01:14.500 of speech.
00:01:15.180 More speech laws are coming.
00:01:16.380 More speech laws are coming.
00:01:19.920 I actually put a search on here, hate.
00:01:23.380 And there's 16 occasions in this article where hate or hateful or hatred are used.
00:01:32.220 And who determines what is hate?
00:01:36.080 The government?
00:01:37.340 Do you trust Mark Carney and the liberals and the Bloc Québécois to make a decision on what
00:01:40.840 is considered hate speech?
00:01:47.000 Liberals and leftists consider hate speech anything that they disagree with.
00:01:51.760 Right?
00:01:52.280 Let's read a little bit of this article.
00:01:54.180 Opposition conservatives say a deal between the governing liberals and the Bloc Québécois
00:01:57.660 to remove a religious exemption from Canada's hate speech laws in exchange for passing a bill
00:02:02.900 targeting hate and terror symbols is an assault on freedom of speech and religion.
00:02:06.840 The amendments are expected to be tabled during Tuesday's meeting of the Parliamentary Justice
00:02:11.900 Committee studying the legislation known as Bill C-9, which conservatives have vowed to
00:02:16.260 fight.
00:02:16.920 The Bloc Québécois said removing the exemption was necessary to help prosecute rising hateful
00:02:22.020 and anti-Semitic rhetoric often made under the guise of exempted religious speech.
00:02:27.660 Who's doing anti-Semitic rhetoric in this country?
00:02:33.000 Let's go over to Pierre Polyevon X.
00:02:35.040 This is what he had to say.
00:02:36.340 Liberal Bloc amendments to C-9 will criminalize sections of the Bible, Koran, Torah, and other
00:02:42.280 sacred texts.
00:02:43.480 Conservatives will oppose this latest liberal assault on freedom of religion and expression.
00:02:49.280 Sign here, defend religious freedom.
00:02:50.920 He links to a petition.
00:02:52.260 God, I've signed so many of those.
00:02:53.520 They're an absolute waste of time.
00:02:56.100 I am a freedom of speech absolutist.
00:02:59.340 You should be able to say anything you damn well please in this country.
00:03:02.260 The only exemption would be threatening somebody, somebody's life or harm to somebody or a group
00:03:09.100 of people.
00:03:10.100 And there are laws already on the books for that.
00:03:14.040 Here's the actual video that Polyev links in his tweet.
00:03:18.340 If someone were literally invoking a passage from, in this case, the Bible, but there are other
00:03:23.860 religious texts that say the same thing, and somehow say that this is good faith.
00:03:29.240 I mean, clearly there are situations in these texts where these statements are hateful.
00:03:33.180 They should not be used to invoke or be a defense.
00:03:38.080 And there should perhaps be discretion for prosecutors to press charges.
00:03:42.160 I just want to understand what your notion of good faith is in this context where there
00:03:45.620 are clearly passages in religious texts that are clearly hateful.
00:03:49.780 So why are they going after religion?
00:03:52.340 I think there's one reason that they're kind of glossing over, which I'm going to get to
00:03:56.280 in just a moment.
00:03:57.380 A lot of the focus on this is regarding religious symbols.
00:04:03.700 It could be crosses.
00:04:04.620 It could be the Star of David, but it's head coverings.
00:04:08.880 It's got something to do with people marching in the streets, which we've seen a lot of
00:04:13.500 since October 7th, a specific religious group that does that.
00:04:17.740 And the useful idiots that do it as well. 0.98
00:04:20.460 I think they stretch it a little bit too far into the point where it's almost a threat towards
00:04:25.540 another religious group.
00:04:26.720 There's this article here in the National Post, Chris Selle.
00:04:30.540 This is from November 27th.
00:04:32.500 Quebec's war on religion goes to a whole new level.
00:04:35.720 When Quebec politicians talk about religion in this context, roughly 97% of the time they
00:04:40.240 mean Muslims.
00:04:41.000 And I think this is becoming a big issue.
00:04:43.960 You've still got people marching in the streets over what happened on October 7th.
00:04:48.320 And we've got a ceasefire right now.
00:04:51.540 This Muslim situation has become a problem. 1.00
00:04:54.840 Question for you.
00:04:55.780 And this could be considered hate speech in the future.
00:05:00.180 Why do we keep importing more of this problem?
00:05:02.520 But there's even more to this that they're not talking about.
00:05:06.680 There's this article here from yesterday.
00:05:10.000 Liberal deal with bloc means hate speech laws will lose exemption for sincerely held religious
00:05:14.400 beliefs.
00:05:14.880 Why religion?
00:05:16.300 Let's go down to this part of this article right here.
00:05:18.540 Now, they talk about a bill that was tabled by the Bloc Québécois on November 23rd.
00:05:23.760 So that's what they're referring to here.
00:05:25.720 At the time, the Bloc Québécois argued that its bill was necessary to combat the outpouring
00:05:30.180 of hate speech and anti-Semitism following the October 7th terrorist attack by Hamas on Israel
00:05:36.940 and the ensuing war.
00:05:37.820 They also pointed out comments by Montreal Imam Adil Charcawi calling for the extermination
00:05:42.700 of Zionist aggressors during the public prayer.
00:05:48.520 In addition, the Bloc, Jewish, and LGBTQ groups have called for years for the Liberal government
00:05:55.580 to remove the religious exemption from hate speech laws, arguing it has allowed for the 0.99
00:06:00.080 proliferation of anti-Semitic, which was the first thing I talked about, and homophobic
00:06:05.200 comments.
00:06:05.860 They're going after religion because of the alphabet people.
00:06:09.620 Now, here's something else that might be considered hate speech in the future, and
00:06:15.220 this is a biological fact.
00:06:17.940 It's an absolute truth.
00:06:20.540 There are only two genders, male and female.
00:06:24.900 That's it.
00:06:25.640 This may be considered hate speech in the future if this kind of law continues to go on.
00:06:30.500 Benjamin Franklin said, whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing
00:06:35.080 the freeness of speech, and the liberals and the Bloc are going after it here, and there's
00:06:39.060 going to be more of this in the future if the liberals stay in power.
00:06:42.260 Let's move on to this.
00:06:44.000 There's this article here.
00:06:45.160 This takes us back to October 2nd.
00:06:48.280 Canada needs a strong hate speech laws, not thought crime laws like Bill C-9.
00:06:52.720 Just a bit of this article.
00:06:53.840 The problem with Bill C-9, the government's proposed combating hate act, is not that it
00:06:57.600 protects Canadians from hatred, but that it risks stretching those protections far beyond
00:07:02.660 their purpose.
00:07:03.240 The bill introduces vague new offenses, removes long-standing oversight by the Attorney General,
00:07:08.720 and allows for prosecution based on symbols or speech that involve the vilification of
00:07:13.980 an identifiable group.
00:07:15.640 While it carves out exceptions for journalism and education, they are imprecise, and the
00:07:21.380 impression and imprecision of the bill is exactly the problem.
00:07:25.280 Broad and subjective language creates uncertainty about what qualifies as protected discourse and
00:07:31.120 puts a chill on free speech, and it's meant to do that.
00:07:34.980 More importantly, imprecision can be weaponized by a government that's keen on silencing political
00:07:40.240 dissent.
00:07:40.680 Now, people say, what are you really worried about, John?
00:07:42.860 Well, listen to this.
00:07:45.580 While this might seem alarmist in Canada in 2025, it probably seems similarly alarmist to citizens
00:07:52.100 in the United Kingdom, who are now being arrested more than 30 every day for tweets deemed offensive
00:07:59.260 or even annoying.
00:08:01.620 Case in point.
00:08:02.420 What did it need to come to?
00:08:06.060 Tell us why you escalated it to this level, because I don't understand.
00:08:09.580 I posted something that he posted.
00:08:11.340 You come to arrest me.
00:08:12.220 You don't arrest him.
00:08:13.240 Why has it come to this?
00:08:14.220 Why am I in cuffs?
00:08:15.120 Because there's something he shared, then I shared.
00:08:17.960 Because someone has been caused, obviously, anxiety based upon your social media post.
00:08:24.680 But not his.
00:08:25.100 That's why you've been arrested.
00:08:25.640 The Times, 20 to 3, 1440, are arresting you on suspicion of improper use of the electronic
00:08:34.100 communications network.
00:08:36.600 What?
00:08:37.380 One, two, seven, the communications act, okay?
00:08:40.120 So you do not have to say that it may harm your defence if you don't mention one question
00:08:43.820 something which you later are in court.
00:08:45.580 Anything you do say may be given evidence.
00:08:47.340 Do you understand that?
00:08:48.680 So I'm actually being arrested?
00:08:49.900 You're going to be arrested, okay?
00:08:51.600 Right.
00:08:51.940 So you've got to the police station.
00:08:53.580 Right.
00:08:53.900 To you, okay, this is in relation to some comments that you've made on a Facebook page.
00:08:59.700 Oh, really?
00:09:00.180 I'll see a Facebook crime, is it?
00:09:01.980 Okay.
00:09:02.760 Right.
00:09:03.040 So we need to ask you some questions about that.
00:09:07.280 Right.
00:09:08.720 Have you got anything in your pocket, Stonis?
00:09:11.620 Um, I've got my keys.
00:09:14.380 I've got, no, it's about it, I think, keys.
00:09:17.580 So anyone who's been arrested, we can search them on the Section 32 of the Police Department
00:09:22.240 of the Tax.
00:09:23.120 Right.
00:09:23.460 And that's the dangerous item, I've got to find them.
00:09:26.100 I mean, you said I was going to be arrested under some what information?
00:09:32.720 I'm going to be arrested for posting on Facebook.
00:09:35.100 We had reports that you've made some comments that are offensive, obscene, and people have
00:09:40.860 made a complaint about that.
00:09:42.400 And it's transferred from a Facebook account in your name.
00:09:43.940 Can you, can you tell me what this comment was?
00:09:45.880 Okay, well, we'll do that when we interview you.
00:09:48.560 All right.
00:09:49.280 And so, when am I going to be locked up for the night, or...
00:09:51.660 Well, hopefully not.
00:09:52.100 Well, hopefully not.
00:09:52.620 What crime?
00:09:53.020 What crime?
00:09:53.100 What crime?
00:09:53.600 What crime?
00:09:54.180 What crime?
00:09:54.780 What crime?
00:09:55.480 Tell me my crime.
00:09:56.180 One, two, seven, at the Communications Center.
00:09:57.180 Which says what?
00:09:57.740 Where you post something that causes gross offence, or of a menacing character which causes a person
00:10:05.120 anxiety.
00:10:06.120 Is that what it says?
00:10:07.120 Yes, it does.
00:10:08.120 How is, how is, how is they plagued?
00:10:09.420 What?
00:10:09.620 How is they plagued?
00:10:10.420 Grossly offensive.
00:10:11.420 What old is it?
00:10:12.420 No, we're not going to...
00:10:13.420 No, we're not discussing that with you here.
00:10:15.420 I mean, why are you doing him?
00:10:16.420 He shared it.
00:10:17.420 No, don't worry.
00:10:18.420 Okay.
00:10:19.420 I'm going to share it.
00:10:20.420 I'm going to share it to my 30,000 followers right now.
00:10:23.420 Mr. Brady, do you under arrest?
00:10:24.420 No, he's not.
00:10:25.420 I'm not.
00:10:26.420 No, he's not.
00:10:27.420 No, he's not.
00:10:28.420 He's not under arrest.
00:10:29.420 You're not, you're not arresting him.
00:10:30.420 You're not arresting him at all.
00:10:32.420 It took me less than a minute to come up with those three examples, and there are a lot
00:10:37.820 more online.
00:10:38.820 It is so infuriating.
00:10:40.320 It makes you mad watching that.
00:10:44.320 You see the people sitting there, bewildered at how they can be arrested for something they
00:10:48.220 said on Facebook, and the cop sits there with a smug look on their face.
00:10:51.820 Because a section so-and-so, you're going to jail because somebody was offended by what
00:10:56.120 you said?
00:10:59.920 And what's amazing is, if you keep looking online, you'll find the people who did what
00:11:03.920 I just did a couple of minutes ago, stating a biological fact there are only two genders, 1.00
00:11:10.420 and they're in jail, and that could happen here.
00:11:13.920 Meanwhile, you've got police over there who aren't solving 95% of the crimes in England.
00:11:19.920 Assault, theft, homicide, stabbings.
00:11:23.920 No, they're at somebody's house arresting somebody because somebody was offended by some
00:11:27.920 words.
00:11:28.920 Do you want the liberals and the government determining what is and what is not hate speech in this
00:11:35.420 country?
00:11:35.920 I don't want that.
00:11:40.920 George Washington had some wise words a long, long, well, more than 200 years ago.
00:11:45.920 He said, if freedom of speech is taken away, then deaf and dumb, we shall be led like sheep
00:11:51.920 to slaughter.
00:11:52.920 Wise words back then.
00:11:54.920 A warning back then.
00:11:57.920 250 years later, we're not listening to the warning.
00:12:02.920 And this is likely to pass.
00:12:04.920 And there's a lot more coming.
00:12:05.920 A lot more coming down the line.
00:12:07.920 I was just looking over here at some of the things to come.
00:12:10.920 I wrote this down weeks ago.
00:12:12.920 Bill C-2 gives government and police access to your personal information.
00:12:16.920 Bill C-8 gives the government the power to cut off your internet, your phone line, your cell phone.
00:12:20.920 Bill C-8 also gives them the right to keep the previous secret.
00:12:24.920 Bill C-8, Minister of Industry can decide you're a threat and get your address book, search
00:12:29.920 history, browser history, and no warrant, no trial, no judicial review needed.
00:12:34.920 Bill C-10 would give the government enormous power to regulate social media content.
00:12:39.920 Bill C-10 is a threat and that means you.
00:12:46.920 This frightens me.
00:12:49.920 And this video could be considered a hate crime in the future.
00:12:54.920 The very near future.
00:12:55.920 Thank you very much for watching.
00:12:56.920 I do appreciate it.
