00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel 501 AM, Sunday, March the 29th.
00:00:07.760 I hope you're having a great Sunday and a wonderful weekend as well.
00:00:10.740 I do have the big blue mug of coffee, of course, with me this morning, and I am inching day
00:00:15.460 by day by day, slowly up to 50,000 subscribers, and if you would click on subscribe right
00:00:21.120 now, you would help me get there even faster.
00:00:24.480 And by the way, make sure you are still subscribed.
00:00:27.060 Some people tell me they have been unsubscribed from the channel.
00:00:31.060 So today, quick video, and I guarantee you that the video I'm going to show you this
00:00:36.720 morning, you will not be able to look away.
00:00:39.680 Your jaw will drop.
00:00:40.900 You'll wonder how this is possible in the reality you live in.
00:00:43.680 But these people live in the same country as you.
00:00:46.260 These people are involved in politics, okay?
00:00:48.940 Joseph Conrad called these clips I'm about to show you, the fascination of the abomination.
00:00:54.840 okay and what does that mean well it's the same feeling you get when you're driving on the highway
00:01:01.320 and you got to slow down when there's a big wreck and you just got to take a look just in case you
00:01:06.820 might see something okay that's what these clips are about now i'm not sure if you're aware of this
00:01:12.220 but the ndp is having a convention this weekend they're going to pick a new leader on sunday
00:01:19.260 morning so if you're watching this later today they might have a new leader likely to be abby
00:01:23.500 Lewis, the communist, or maybe NDP MP Heather McEachran from Alberta. But this is happening
00:01:32.020 right now. NDP's next leader to be announced as Winnipeg Convention concludes. But I would suggest
00:01:36.940 to you that this Winnipeg Convention is a lot more like Mos Eisley and the cantina scene from
00:01:43.040 Star Wars, because I'm going to show you the clips in just a moment. I'm not kidding. You might
00:01:47.840 remember at the beginning of the NDP leadership campaign, the party is limiting signatures from
00:01:54.100 cis men. You remember this, right? Prospective federal NDP leadership candidates will have to
00:02:01.080 raise $100,000 and amass 500 signatures from members, most of which cannot come from cis
00:02:06.660 gendered men, to be officially in the running according to rules that were released on Tuesday.
00:02:11.440 Also from the story down here, the party also requires minimum of 100 signatures be from
00:02:15.600 equity-seeking groups, such as racialized members, indigenous members, members of the LGBTQ,
00:02:22.440 on and on and on community, and persons living with disabilities. So this is the NDP today.
00:02:28.580 Now, I would argue with you that the NDP has become totally irrelevant. If it weren't for
00:02:33.980 the NDP tanking under Jagmeet Singh, it's a good chance you'd have a conservative government right
00:02:38.860 now, but they're even in worse shape now than they were before. I would argue with you that
00:02:42.740 Canada is becoming a two-party system. The NDP is that irrelevant. This is not the party of
00:02:48.920 Jack Layton anymore, although they would hope that you would think that, but they're not that
00:02:52.980 anymore. So let me show you one of the clips from this, and tell me this isn't absolutely insane,
00:03:01.000 and these people aren't nuts, and tell me this isn't more like the Mos Eisley cantina scene
00:03:06.900 from star wars than an actual serious political party watch till the end my name is master tasneem
00:03:14.820 i'm she i my pronouns are she they i'm from ontario hello bojo as we conduct this convention
00:03:22.980 today and the past two days right now there's discussions of 10 000 american men and women
00:03:29.620 being sent to iran being deployed just to be part of this bloodbath canada cannot and will not be
00:03:40.100 part of the legacy of blood that was built in iraq in palestine and now in iran this is a no question
00:03:49.060 debate i call this question madam and chairs thank you
00:03:58.740 your point's quite well made uh speaker i'll again thank delegates not to call me
00:04:04.580 madam chair or madam president i'm a non-binary person my pronouns are they them and their chair
00:04:09.300 is sufficient oh my god and whoever did the editing well done well done you know you got
00:04:30.500 to get the freak with the mask sitting there then you got the guy looking like what the hell am i
00:04:35.860 involved in here, somebody who looked like they had a bit of a brain realizing they're in some
00:04:39.880 kind of a freak show here. The cantina scene from Star Wars, right? But folks, it's even worse than
00:04:47.840 this. The NDP is blatantly racist. Of course, their nomination of having to choose certain
00:04:52.780 types of people could be considered racist, but they have people standing up announcing their
00:04:58.620 pronouns a black man stands up and they're blatantly racist and nobody bats an eye
00:05:05.660 microphone four are you on a point
00:05:09.340 points of order robert ali he they my understanding as an equity seeking delegate is that these cards
00:05:17.420 are to help the chair hear equity seeking persons and that we don't only hear from white male
00:05:23.660 delegates now this is my first convention but so i could be wrong but the reason my
00:05:32.700 the reason for my concern is that yesterday during the housing resolution after a white
00:05:37.820 man spoke someone at this mic waved their equity card only to be only to give their speaking spot
00:05:45.340 to a white man. This is supposed to be a serious political party. Now, folks, the fascination of
00:05:53.880 the abomination, you ain't seen nothing yet. You won't be able to look away in just a moment.
00:05:59.120 If you think what you've just seen is insane, you will not believe what is coming up next.
00:06:05.280 So apparently at this convention, they've handed out different colored cards to people who want
00:06:11.140 ask questions based on their identity and of course the white males and the white people get
00:06:16.660 the back of the line that's the state of the ndp right now now this person i don't know what this
00:06:22.900 person is there's a saying if you can't tell it ain't worth knowing but this person is explaining
00:06:29.940 these equity cards and this person can't even can't even say the word straight but hold on it
00:06:37.140 gets even worse to assist me in better using the card by forming a straight straight line behind
00:06:46.980 the microphone um with a prominently displayed equity card if i see speakers ahead of you who
00:06:52.420 are not holding a card prominently it would be wrong of me to guess about their gender identity
00:06:57.460 and i will come to you this applies so far according to your rules for gender identities
00:07:04.100 other than a dude it's it's unbelievable but folks i don't even know how to describe what
00:07:10.820 you're about to see next now pardon the audio i'll try to boost it as much as possible
00:07:17.540 but watch this ask hey this pertains to multiple intersecting parts of my lived experience i'd
00:07:23.060 like to speak i was rejected when i talked and it's frustrating when these are my rights being
00:07:30.100 directly under attack right now in Alberta and a cisgender woman had spoken over me. And I
00:07:38.420 understand her rights are important too. This pertains to her too, but I don't know. I hope
00:07:44.540 that in the future the federal NDP will also have a broader interpretation of the equity cards for
00:07:50.400 speakers. That's all. Thank you. I had no way to describe what you just saw and I've got no words
00:07:57.080 after seeing that. These people are part of a federal political party in Canada. Live your life
00:08:04.740 any way you want, but it's unbelievable to think people like this are walking amongst us.
00:08:12.540 This party has become totally irrelevant, and the conservatives depended on the NDP to draw
00:08:17.940 some votes away from the liberals. Do you think anybody would want to vote for this?
00:08:21.680 the fascination of the abomination the star wars cantina scene in winnipeg now known as moss
00:08:32.240 isley thanks a lot for watching if you like the video please give it a thumbs up subscribe to
