00:00:00.000 Slow news week this week, eh, gents?
00:00:01.900 Can't really think of anything big that happened,
00:00:04.160 both here in this country and elsewhere.
00:00:07.320 Honestly, it was the best entertainment I could ask for.
00:00:11.740 Incredible.
00:00:12.180 Yeah, I did think the outside of the election news seemed slower
00:00:15.740 because obviously all the headlines were dominated by the American election.
00:00:19.900 Well, I hope I'm not the only person who's wasted a lot of my time this week
00:00:24.160 watching the meltdowns.
00:00:25.640 The meltdown compilations are back after what's it been eight years.
00:00:29.460 We finally got new meltdown compilations.
00:00:31.800 It's exciting times.
00:00:34.060 I know, and it just keeps coming.
00:00:35.440 I feel like these memes are going to live on forever.
00:00:38.940 Perfect.
00:00:39.500 All right, well, let's get into that later on in the show,
00:00:41.740 and let's get into it now.
00:00:49.180 Welcome, everyone, to Off the Record.
00:00:51.280 Wow, what a week.
00:00:52.480 For those of you that don't know me, my name is Harrison Faulkner,
00:00:55.000 the host of Ratioed and the Faulkner Show.
00:00:57.000 I'm joined by Cosmin Georgia, True North's senior writer and editor,
00:01:01.800 as well as Isaac Lamoureux, the host of the Alberta Roundup.
00:01:05.960 You heard it there in the beginning of the show.
00:01:07.940 Donald Trump is the 47th president of the United States,
00:01:11.140 capping off really the most incredible political comeback maybe in history,
00:01:15.620 and the meltdowns have been spectacular.
00:01:18.300 Cosmin, lead it away.
00:01:19.220 Well, I had the displeasure of watching CBC on election night,
00:01:24.140 and it was just one meltdown after another.
00:01:27.580 They had a Democrat strategist there,
00:01:30.460 and she was accusing Donald Trump of employing tactics
00:01:35.100 directly out of Hitler's playbook.
00:01:38.320 She was calling Elon Musk a Russia and China agent.
00:01:42.700 There was talk about incoming internment camps.
00:01:47.180 So it was all over the place,
00:01:49.180 and I felt really bad for the Republican strategist on that panel
00:01:53.740 because he was saying quite sensible things.
00:01:56.700 They were outright denying the truth of the Hunter Biden laptop story,
00:02:01.840 and the CBC hosts weren't even hitting back
00:02:04.700 because this has been verified.
00:02:06.620 Even Facebook has admitted that they've suppressed this story.
00:02:10.020 So what was your guys' take?
00:02:11.800 Did you guys get a chance to view some of the CBC stuff on election night?
00:02:17.820 Yeah, aside from just the CBC stuff,
00:02:21.100 I mean the list of left-wing meltdowns over Trump's election.
00:02:25.700 It seems like an endless list,
00:02:27.300 and obviously we have a lot of clips.
00:02:29.720 We have a compilation of our own of sorts.
00:02:32.080 But speaking to that strategist,
00:02:33.980 the things she was saying were absolutely ludicrous,
00:02:36.820 and frankly, most of them were just completely contradictory
00:02:41.120 to reality.
00:02:41.880 For example, she said that Trump was running a propaganda campaign.
00:02:46.540 Of course, hypocritical,
00:02:48.000 given that the institutions all supported Kamala.
00:02:51.720 I mean, it didn't really make any sense.
00:02:54.080 She went on to say other things like the white power element.
00:02:56.420 I mean, we saw how the minorities voted for Donald Trump.
00:02:59.680 Again, not true.
00:03:00.520 Just going through the list,
00:03:02.120 every single meltdown and things you said that were claims against Trump,
00:03:06.500 you could easily fact-check and verify and find that the opposite is in fact the truth.
00:03:11.320 Well, it's quite rich for the CBC to be calling anyone or anything else propaganda.
00:03:17.320 They are propaganda in this country for Justin Trudeau.
00:03:21.160 You brought up the fact that the CBC had a Republican strategist on the panel.
00:03:25.920 I have to imagine that that Republican strategist might have thought he was accepting an invite from CNBC,
00:03:31.880 not CBC,
00:03:32.880 and found himself in the wrong place, unfortunately.
00:03:35.520 I mean, really, the compilations, this is going to live on in history, right?
00:03:41.400 And, you know, watching those 2016 compilations,
00:03:44.340 watching the Cenk Uygur meltdown on the Young Turks
00:03:47.340 and watching CNN slowly come to grips with the realization in 2016,
00:03:52.560 that was great.
00:03:53.720 But we're going to get to have our own Canadian montage
00:03:57.920 with our own countrymen and women having their own meltdown.
00:04:01.920 If we haven't played it yet,
00:04:03.540 let's run that now so that our viewers can see this.
00:04:06.760 And, you know, if you do support Donald Trump,
00:04:10.760 this should be some pretty good entertainment for you.
00:04:13.400 Take a watch.
00:04:14.300 You're talking about the propaganda campaign and the playbook of Trump.
00:04:18.840 This is not new.
00:04:20.240 This is not surprising.
00:04:21.480 This is directly out of Hitler's playbook.
00:04:23.740 This is out of an autocrat playbook.
00:04:26.360 This is a way to, I mean, the things that Trump has done masterfully, frankly,
00:04:33.380 is to get the entire, you know, to get a big part of the population
00:04:38.600 to believe that the game is rigged
00:04:43.300 and to sow distrust in public institutions and the free press.
00:04:48.880 That is a tried-and-true playbook that we have seen time and time before
00:04:53.940 that has resulted in really disastrous things for society.
00:04:57.080 Well, there may not be many left after Trump decides he's going to round them up
00:05:00.700 and deport everybody.
00:05:01.920 I mean, this is the thing that, like, really gives pause.
00:05:03.920 But is that not to Kevin's point?
00:05:05.480 Is there not a difference between illegal and legal?
00:05:06.980 I think it's a...
00:05:07.740 So I don't think anybody's illegal.
00:05:10.600 Just one.
00:05:10.820 Here illegally?
00:05:11.640 Just, well, here illegally is different than calling people illegal.
00:05:14.960 But, you know, I'm just reminded of a time when there was authority
00:05:19.160 to have internment camps and to round up Japanese people
00:05:22.700 and someone who is of Japanese descent.
00:05:25.900 When you say, I have a concept of a plan,
00:05:27.940 but I'm going to just start mass reporting people,
00:05:29.720 what does that look like and what does that mean logistically?
00:05:32.440 Those are the things that I'm really interested in.
00:05:34.400 The first 100 days of really understanding what the plan is, right?
00:05:39.120 You can't just go around and make these blanket statements.
00:05:41.840 And then you have this other idea of, like,
00:05:43.860 let's make America great and go backwards,
00:05:45.860 where America, you know, essentially the power structure in America
00:05:49.800 was, you know, made up mostly of a certain kind of person, right?
00:05:53.820 There was a white power element to that.
00:05:55.680 And you're seeing that play out in these elections, too.
00:05:58.720 And so I do think that we're at a tipping point
00:06:00.800 where it's going to be, like, really, really tight for a while.
00:06:02.940 The interesting thing about even what you see
00:06:05.520 in this initial message from Pierre Polyev
00:06:07.420 is the idea that this is all about jobs.
00:06:10.540 That exactly echoes the kind of rhetoric
00:06:13.060 you do hear from the Trump campaign,
00:06:15.660 that you hear from people who supported Donald Trump in the U.S.
00:06:19.200 as voters.
00:06:20.660 I'm going to just note,
00:06:22.780 someone in Pierre Polyev's caucus
00:06:25.300 knows the minds of this incoming administration
00:06:28.740 better than most.
00:06:30.280 His name is Jamil Javani.
00:06:32.260 He is a Toronto-area MP.
00:06:34.900 He went to law school at Yale
00:06:37.260 with the vice president-elect, J.D. Vance,
00:06:40.280 knows him quite well.
00:06:42.100 He did not want to take any questions from us this morning.
00:06:45.400 Reporters tried.
00:06:46.340 But sort of someone very close to the mindset
00:06:51.240 of the incoming administration
00:06:52.700 sitting right there in conservative caucus this morning.
00:06:55.680 So a very interesting situation there
00:06:58.220 at a time when we know that among sort of
00:07:00.700 the conservative voting base,
00:07:02.740 perhaps slightly more than half of them
00:07:05.020 have said, told pollsters,
00:07:07.300 they would welcome a Trump presidency.
00:07:10.200 I think a lot of folks woke up today
00:07:13.660 and woke up really worried,
00:07:16.520 really afraid, felt crushed.
00:07:18.920 And I want you to know that now is the time
00:07:21.460 for us to come together to defend Canadian interests.
00:07:23.960 I know that the results of Trump,
00:07:25.920 right now what it looks like Trump's election,
00:07:27.700 is going to have serious impacts on Canadians.
00:07:29.680 So we need to come together,
00:07:30.960 all parties, all leaders,
00:07:32.420 and put Canadian interests first.
00:07:34.080 We have to protect Canadian jobs.
00:07:35.780 We have to prepare for the impacts of potential tariffs
00:07:38.140 and what that would mean for our economy.
00:07:40.200 for manufacturing, for jobs in Canada.
00:07:42.900 We need to be very united to say,
00:07:45.540 whatever our differences are
00:07:46.680 when it comes to Canadian interests and Canadian jobs,
00:07:49.240 we're all going to work together to defend Canada,
00:07:51.800 to defend Canadian jobs,
00:07:53.080 to defend Canadian interests.
00:07:54.660 That's our priority.
00:07:56.360 I know that a lot of Canadians are anxious.
00:08:02.780 A lot of Canadians have been anxious this week.
00:08:05.280 A lot of Canadians were anxious throughout the night.
00:08:08.760 And I want to say with utter sincerity and conviction to Canadians
00:08:16.820 that Canada will be absolutely fine.
00:08:21.880 Doesn't get much better than that, eh, Cosby?
00:08:23.520 No, it doesn't.
00:08:25.700 And they keep doing it.
00:08:27.680 Like, I've seen columnists like Andrew Coyne come out
00:08:30.880 and claim this is a world-ending crisis.
00:08:34.800 Like, all this doomsaying is all over the place.
00:08:37.820 And it's quite...
00:08:38.580 I think Canadians are tired of it.
00:08:40.160 I think this election has proven how out of touch
00:08:43.400 the legacy media has become.
00:08:45.640 They're not connecting with people.
00:08:47.920 And Elon Musk said it best, you know,
00:08:50.480 X is now the media.
00:08:52.000 You are the media.
00:08:53.100 The individual citizen journalist, so to speak,
00:08:56.520 on social media has the potential
00:08:59.380 to influence even more than these traditional broadcasters.
00:09:02.840 And Isaac, Jagmeet Singh saying that Canadians woke up crushed,
00:09:09.020 feeling disappointed,
00:09:10.060 and Freeland having to reassure Canadians
00:09:12.340 that everything will be all right.
00:09:13.340 What do they think is going to happen
00:09:14.400 that didn't happen in 2016 exactly?
00:09:17.260 Yeah, it's funny.
00:09:18.260 When I heard Singh say that,
00:09:20.140 I imagine that's how he feels when he wakes up
00:09:22.480 and looks at his poll numbers
00:09:23.760 to see that he is a fourth-place party
00:09:26.260 and losing support by the day.
00:09:30.140 Yeah, and this is the thing.
00:09:31.860 People want to,
00:09:32.460 especially when they want to relate it to war,
00:09:34.000 I mean, look.
00:09:35.120 Look at the facts from Trump's last presidency.
00:09:37.380 He is clearly the most anti-war president
00:09:39.840 in the last century.
00:09:41.760 Do you feel the same way about the Democrats?
00:09:44.180 Unlikely.
00:09:45.280 We can't possibly imagine that Trump's presidency
00:09:48.920 will result in more wars than would have the Democrats.
00:09:51.360 I mean, if you've ever listened to him speak,
00:09:53.720 for example, on the most recent Rogan broadcast,
00:09:55.880 his top priorities are ending the current wars.
00:09:58.560 So from a world peace perspective,
00:10:01.000 if you care about that, which you should,
00:10:03.100 you should be elated that Trump has formed presidency
00:10:06.540 and will do his best to put an end to these wars,
00:10:09.740 which we've seen in past examples,
00:10:11.780 he has the absolute ability to do.
00:10:14.260 I think it's a good thing, Cosmin,
00:10:15.900 that Canadians can now once again go back
00:10:18.720 to concerning themselves with our own country
00:10:21.220 and our own politics.
00:10:22.240 It's something I think we need to do more.
00:10:23.440 But let's briefly talk about what the Trump,
00:10:26.560 what Trump's new presidency will mean for Canada.
00:10:29.740 We hear a lot about the concerns regarding tariffs
00:10:32.560 being placed on Canadian industry.
00:10:34.900 And I think that there is an argument to be had
00:10:36.820 that that is not necessarily good for Canada.
00:10:38.880 But I also, in my opinion,
00:10:40.240 is that Trump's,
00:10:42.220 Trump will force Canada to increase our military spending.
00:10:45.220 And I think Trump will likely get that Keystone XL pipeline
00:10:49.200 going again,
00:10:49.880 which is good for Canadian jobs and industry.
00:10:51.800 What do you think is going to happen for Canada
00:10:54.300 in the next Trump term?
00:10:57.580 Yeah, I think it's a double-edged sword.
00:11:00.120 There will be positives and there will be negatives.
00:11:02.640 Tariffs are something that the Trump administration
00:11:05.240 will be dedicated to,
00:11:07.860 and he's promised to introduce levies on nations.
00:11:11.900 Now, Canada, trade with Canada,
00:11:14.000 is regulated by the USMCA,
00:11:16.440 and that's going to go up for renegotiation
00:11:18.600 pretty much right away.
00:11:21.080 So the US and the Canadian government
00:11:23.600 will have to, you know, agree to new terms.
00:11:26.840 But I think, I don't think it's,
00:11:28.360 I've seen people throw out numbers
00:11:29.800 like 20% tariff on Canadian goods.
00:11:32.280 I don't think that's happening.
00:11:33.500 Definitely not.
00:11:34.580 We have duty-free trade on certain goods
00:11:36.720 with our American partners.
00:11:38.600 We generally get better terms
00:11:41.240 than nations, you know, across the ocean.
00:11:44.160 So it doesn't make sense
00:11:46.080 that there's going to be
00:11:46.920 these massive trade tariffs coming to Canada.
00:11:50.100 But there will be definitely certain products,
00:11:53.120 you know, potentially the supply management
00:11:56.100 on dairy might be a point of disagreement
00:11:59.700 in the upcoming negotiations.
00:12:01.900 But as you mentioned, right,
00:12:03.740 like the Keystone pipeline,
00:12:05.880 that's an overwhelming positive for Canada.
00:12:09.380 So it might actually outdo
00:12:11.500 and sort of negate some of the negatives
00:12:14.000 that come with the tariffs.
00:12:15.940 Isaac, yeah, go ahead.
00:12:17.740 Yeah, just to speak quick on the tariffs,
00:12:19.260 again, going back to the Rogan podcast,
00:12:21.000 Trump really did position himself
00:12:22.360 as the tariff king.
00:12:23.420 So those concerns are obviously reasonable.
00:12:26.440 However, this was interesting
00:12:28.360 when I was writing about Quebec's premier
00:12:30.880 recently urging Trudeau
00:12:32.480 to strengthen the border,
00:12:34.820 fearful of illegal immigrants coming over
00:12:36.980 as a result of the election.
00:12:38.560 And obviously Trump said
00:12:39.340 he's going to deport 20 million of them.
00:12:41.200 He said, interestingly,
00:12:42.480 the USMCA is up for review in 2026.
00:12:46.460 But he said, look,
00:12:47.140 if any tariffs are implemented in any way,
00:12:49.900 this agreement needs to be reviewed immediately.
00:12:53.340 So I'm definitely interested
00:12:54.400 to see what happens with USMCA.
00:12:56.900 Obviously, that's a trade agreement
00:12:58.000 between Canada, the United States and Mexico.
00:13:00.620 So, yeah.
00:13:02.600 Well, I mean, I think whatever it is,
00:13:04.800 it'll be at least entertaining.
00:13:06.540 It'll be a little more entertaining
00:13:07.580 than watching Joe Biden
00:13:09.680 fumble his way through the presidency
00:13:11.840 and drag us into a potential conflict, right?
00:13:15.680 So I think at the very least,
00:13:17.840 we can all say things are going
00:13:19.680 to be very, very entertaining.
00:13:21.880 All right, well, moving on.
00:13:22.860 I wish there was a better segue.
00:13:23.960 I always say that on the show, too.
00:13:25.400 I'm trying to find good segues.
00:13:26.800 But there really is no good segue
00:13:28.280 between Donald Trump
00:13:29.360 and basically a civil war
00:13:31.680 playing out in Canadian streets
00:13:33.620 within the Indian diaspora
00:13:35.720 in our country.
00:13:36.620 But that's what we're seeing now.
00:13:37.860 That was the other big news item this week.
00:13:39.500 It kind of got dwarfed by Donald Trump,
00:13:41.720 which is all right.
00:13:42.780 But on Monday,
00:13:44.880 there was a counter protest.
00:13:46.380 Well, let's start on Sunday
00:13:47.580 rather than on Monday.
00:13:48.620 On Sunday, there were violent clashes
00:13:51.520 that took place outside of a Hindu temple
00:13:53.820 in Brampton where Kalistanis broke through
00:13:56.680 and began attacking Hindu worshippers
00:14:00.000 with sticks, with flagpoles,
00:14:02.900 and throwing fists.
00:14:04.480 Absolutely absurd.
00:14:05.520 It then turns out that there was a
00:14:06.900 Peel police officer involved
00:14:08.660 in that violent protest,
00:14:10.020 just adding more fuel to the fire.
00:14:11.700 The following day,
00:14:13.420 True North cameraman and I,
00:14:15.020 we decided to show up to Brampton,
00:14:16.700 which is kind of becoming
00:14:17.420 a bit of a dangerous endeavor these days.
00:14:20.120 But we showed up to cover
00:14:21.840 this Hindu counter protest.
00:14:25.320 And sure enough,
00:14:26.420 that protest also turned unruly
00:14:29.100 and resulted in the Peel police
00:14:31.360 finding weapons on the streets,
00:14:34.260 seeing a mob attacking cars
00:14:36.400 and intimidating police.
00:14:37.760 I was on the ground there.
00:14:38.840 I want to show you the scene
00:14:40.360 of what it looked like
00:14:41.340 when the Hindu protesters
00:14:43.000 began going after
00:14:44.580 and intimidating the police.
00:14:45.900 Take a look at this.
00:14:47.860 As you can see,
00:14:48.720 the protesters have shut down Gore Road.
00:14:51.440 There's only four police officers here
00:14:53.420 for a crowd of thousands of protesters
00:14:55.620 chanting down the police
00:14:57.640 for apparently being soft
00:15:00.480 on Kalistani extremism.
00:15:02.320 This is a wild scene.
00:15:05.900 Traffic is blocked
00:15:06.860 all the way down the road.
00:15:08.740 All right.
00:15:09.420 And the following clip,
00:15:10.280 you will see,
00:15:11.000 well, we've already played it
00:15:11.800 over the screen.
00:15:12.400 And that is of these
00:15:14.200 counter protesters
00:15:16.120 just attacking random cars
00:15:17.820 in the street
00:15:18.360 and causing a wild scene.
00:15:36.680 Cosmin,
00:15:37.280 what do you make
00:15:38.000 of this situation unfolding
00:15:40.820 in our country?
00:15:43.280 Well, as an immigrant,
00:15:43.980 I think it's just shameful behavior, right?
00:15:46.660 The diaspora is supposed to be
00:15:49.120 a reflection of your home nation.
00:15:52.560 And when you're out there
00:15:53.400 behaving like this,
00:15:54.920 you know,
00:15:55.320 breaking,
00:15:56.080 potentially breaking laws,
00:15:57.580 committing violence
00:15:58.420 in the name of conflicts
00:16:00.180 that you,
00:16:01.760 that come from back home,
00:16:02.900 you're,
00:16:03.160 as an immigrant,
00:16:03.820 you're supposed to leave
00:16:04.900 all of that behind.
00:16:06.040 That's the point.
00:16:07.480 It's a fresh start.
00:16:09.020 You're accepting
00:16:09.660 a new adoptive country.
00:16:12.940 And it's becoming
00:16:14.600 increasingly
00:16:15.780 the case
00:16:16.840 that immigrants,
00:16:18.320 a lot of immigrants
00:16:19.280 don't see it that way anymore.
00:16:22.320 Isaac,
00:16:22.860 what do you think?
00:16:23.560 Do you think that it's,
00:16:24.360 this is a cause
00:16:25.460 of the rate
00:16:26.400 at which we have welcomed
00:16:27.440 people into our country?
00:16:29.500 Oh, definitely.
00:16:30.580 And I mean,
00:16:31.100 it's just,
00:16:31.580 yeah,
00:16:31.720 absolutely disgusting
00:16:32.740 watching those clips.
00:16:33.980 As you can see,
00:16:34.460 I have this Canadian flag
00:16:35.460 behind me.
00:16:36.080 That is not my Canada.
00:16:37.860 If it were,
00:16:38.540 I wouldn't have hung
00:16:39.360 this flag in pride.
00:16:40.780 You know,
00:16:41.040 I look at that
00:16:41.740 and I'm truly ashamed
00:16:43.100 to live in a country
00:16:44.080 that in any way,
00:16:45.320 shape or form
00:16:45.920 would allow that to happen.
00:16:47.420 Random cars
00:16:47.940 getting attacked
00:16:48.520 in the streets
00:16:48.980 by thousands of protesters.
00:16:50.880 I mean,
00:16:51.720 this is not something,
00:16:53.800 thinking back a few years ago,
00:16:54.800 I would ever imagine
00:16:55.860 being possible in Canada.
00:16:57.600 It looks like
00:16:58.240 scenes out of a
00:16:59.860 post-apocalyptic movie,
00:17:02.020 right?
00:17:02.320 I mean,
00:17:02.840 Harrison,
00:17:03.800 and I worry
00:17:04.340 because you're one
00:17:04.780 of the foremost reporters
00:17:06.180 in the middle
00:17:06.780 of these conflicts.
00:17:07.680 You really got to start
00:17:08.840 showing up
00:17:09.380 with a security detail,
00:17:10.580 honestly.
00:17:11.880 Yeah,
00:17:12.260 we'll have to take that up
00:17:13.040 with the higher ups
00:17:14.220 at True North
00:17:14.760 to see if we can get
00:17:15.600 a security detail.
00:17:17.120 You know,
00:17:17.740 I will say
00:17:18.440 it doesn't look like Canada
00:17:20.140 and in those protests,
00:17:22.400 you really don't feel
00:17:23.160 like you are in Canada.
00:17:24.620 That's the craziest part
00:17:25.900 is that there are clashes
00:17:28.340 between two groups
00:17:30.740 within the same diaspora,
00:17:32.460 a division that matters
00:17:33.880 not to the Canadian people,
00:17:35.740 a difference between
00:17:36.640 that Canadian people
00:17:37.540 do not recognize
00:17:38.420 and do not see
00:17:39.080 because it doesn't matter to us.
00:17:40.500 But you have in the streets
00:17:41.680 these clashes taking place
00:17:43.900 with foreign languages
00:17:44.920 being spoken
00:17:45.680 and foreign flags flying.
00:17:47.100 And you ask yourself,
00:17:48.660 you look around
00:17:49.100 and you go,
00:17:49.680 am I really in Canada
00:17:51.520 right now?
00:17:52.000 Because it doesn't look
00:17:52.820 like it at all.
00:17:53.920 That's the strangest part
00:17:54.920 about this.
00:17:56.080 And it looks to me,
00:17:58.280 Cosmin,
00:17:58.680 as if this entire situation
00:18:01.380 would have been preventable
00:18:02.280 had we just slowed down
00:18:04.220 the process,
00:18:05.200 the numbers at which
00:18:06.100 these people were coming in
00:18:07.020 so that we gave them time
00:18:08.200 to assimilate
00:18:09.060 and park their causes
00:18:10.740 at the door.
00:18:11.440 If you bring in millions
00:18:12.300 of people,
00:18:13.220 well, how can you almost,
00:18:14.040 it's almost unreasonable
00:18:15.120 to expect assimilation
00:18:16.340 at that rate.
00:18:18.100 Yeah, well,
00:18:18.980 these are the fruits
00:18:20.240 of mass immigration.
00:18:21.860 We've seen it play out
00:18:22.900 everywhere.
00:18:23.620 In Europe, for example,
00:18:24.800 there are no-go zones
00:18:26.580 in France and in England.
00:18:28.380 Or there's places
00:18:29.120 where Sharia law
00:18:30.560 in Europe
00:18:31.060 is actually being practiced
00:18:33.020 by these communities.
00:18:34.520 And it's really,
00:18:35.560 it's really,
00:18:36.700 you mentioned assimilation
00:18:38.580 and that's a key factor
00:18:40.140 that I think governments
00:18:41.080 have ignored.
00:18:41.860 They've just turned on
00:18:42.720 the taps
00:18:43.160 and they have had
00:18:44.300 absolutely no plan
00:18:45.940 to assimilate
00:18:47.760 the tremendous amount
00:18:49.960 of new people
00:18:50.680 coming into the country.
00:18:53.260 Isaac, what do you think?
00:18:54.420 Do you think that,
00:18:55.200 do you think that
00:18:56.000 the federal government
00:18:56.780 needs to do more
00:18:58.040 at defining
00:18:59.260 what it means
00:19:00.160 to be Canadian
00:19:00.900 and what Canadian values
00:19:02.560 and Canadian culture
00:19:03.400 really is?
00:19:04.400 Yeah, I've spoken
00:19:06.460 about this before.
00:19:07.340 You know,
00:19:07.520 when you immigrate
00:19:08.120 at the levels Canada has,
00:19:09.480 which is the millions
00:19:10.160 per year,
00:19:11.460 you're really going
00:19:12.460 to start to muddle
00:19:13.340 what Canadian culture is
00:19:14.700 because it really does
00:19:15.860 become a melting pot
00:19:16.880 of sorts.
00:19:17.820 And we've spoken
00:19:18.680 about how to
00:19:19.720 avoid this phenomenon
00:19:22.080 in the first place,
00:19:23.040 which is obviously
00:19:23.580 by limiting immigration numbers.
00:19:24.920 But the key question
00:19:25.680 in my eyes is
00:19:26.360 how do you fix it
00:19:27.400 once it's already happened?
00:19:28.340 Because we're seeing
00:19:28.840 what's happening
00:19:29.280 in the streets.
00:19:29.920 Okay, even if we slow
00:19:31.420 down immigration numbers,
00:19:32.340 it's already happening.
00:19:33.420 So what do we do now?
00:19:35.060 And I guess
00:19:35.860 this is what happens
00:19:36.700 when you institute
00:19:38.420 policies of post,
00:19:41.020 what was the,
00:19:41.600 what is exactly
00:19:42.420 is the word
00:19:43.400 Justin Trudeau used?
00:19:44.580 Post-national state,
00:19:46.200 right?
00:19:46.480 When Trudeau said
00:19:47.380 in 2015
00:19:47.980 that we have
00:19:48.640 no defining culture
00:19:50.620 and no values,
00:19:51.680 essentially.
00:19:52.520 Look,
00:19:52.960 it's even hard
00:19:53.620 to sit here
00:19:54.240 and genuinely
00:19:55.020 define Canadian
00:19:56.440 and define
00:19:57.260 Canadian values, Cosme.
00:19:59.400 Yeah,
00:20:00.080 that came to my mind
00:20:01.500 first and foremost.
00:20:02.600 We have a prime minister
00:20:03.980 that doesn't even believe
00:20:05.380 this country
00:20:06.020 has a real
00:20:06.820 national identity.
00:20:08.860 He is so anti
00:20:10.120 anything pro-nation.
00:20:12.100 Like,
00:20:12.260 he doesn't want
00:20:13.460 Canada to be that.
00:20:15.040 He wants it to be
00:20:15.740 this, like,
00:20:16.340 post-global
00:20:17.820 world order
00:20:18.780 amorphous blob
00:20:20.720 that is just
00:20:21.560 a political machine
00:20:23.020 for him
00:20:24.140 and his buddies
00:20:24.900 to use
00:20:25.560 as he wishes.
00:20:26.780 And this is what happens
00:20:28.100 when you strip away
00:20:29.100 that core identity.
00:20:30.040 Because to me,
00:20:31.280 as somebody
00:20:31.780 who came here
00:20:32.500 in 2002,
00:20:33.700 Canada
00:20:34.000 always had
00:20:35.380 a distinct identity.
00:20:36.760 It was the
00:20:37.780 English,
00:20:38.980 French,
00:20:39.440 and Indigenous
00:20:40.020 partnership
00:20:41.200 that created
00:20:42.260 this country.
00:20:43.100 Those were the
00:20:43.740 three main elements
00:20:44.740 of Canada
00:20:45.280 in my mind.
00:20:46.060 I remember
00:20:46.500 reading the first book
00:20:47.960 I ever read
00:20:48.680 about Canada.
00:20:49.780 It was those
00:20:50.760 three things
00:20:51.500 on first and foremost
00:20:53.020 on display.
00:20:54.340 And now,
00:20:55.160 we have
00:20:55.660 every single
00:20:56.980 liberal and NDP
00:20:58.060 politician
00:20:58.880 and the Greens
00:20:59.800 as well
00:21:00.300 who don't want
00:21:01.780 that to be a thing.
00:21:03.100 They want to strip
00:21:03.920 Canada of its core
00:21:05.160 identity.
00:21:05.680 They call it
00:21:06.640 decolonizing.
00:21:08.460 And it's
00:21:09.900 a very nasty,
00:21:11.440 vile,
00:21:11.980 political tactic
00:21:13.220 that has
00:21:14.340 destructive
00:21:15.140 consequences.
00:21:17.400 Well,
00:21:17.620 one of the elements
00:21:18.460 that is under
00:21:19.440 the umbrella,
00:21:20.480 if you want to call it,
00:21:21.520 of a decolonization
00:21:22.940 is this embrace
00:21:23.900 of radical
00:21:25.240 DEI policies
00:21:27.260 that have managed
00:21:28.560 to embed themselves
00:21:29.400 in pretty much
00:21:30.060 every facet
00:21:30.680 of our lives,
00:21:31.260 especially
00:21:31.700 in academia
00:21:33.180 and at a government
00:21:34.420 level.
00:21:35.200 Isaac,
00:21:35.540 we did,
00:21:36.060 however,
00:21:36.820 see a bit
00:21:38.080 of a victory
00:21:38.660 when it comes
00:21:39.260 to defeating
00:21:39.900 DEI
00:21:40.580 in the city
00:21:41.860 of Toronto.
00:21:42.700 What happened?
00:21:43.760 Yeah,
00:21:44.240 so we're hopping
00:21:44.760 from some really
00:21:45.540 bad news,
00:21:46.380 I'd say,
00:21:46.720 to some good news.
00:21:47.460 So nice to
00:21:48.200 make that switch.
00:21:49.560 But yes,
00:21:50.060 we saw
00:21:50.620 that TMU's
00:21:52.240 medical
00:21:52.920 admissions
00:21:53.720 DEI policy,
00:21:55.500 which,
00:21:55.680 what were they
00:21:55.960 going to hire,
00:21:56.360 like 90%
00:21:57.320 DEI hires?
00:21:58.540 I mean,
00:21:58.680 it was a ridiculous
00:21:59.560 amount of students
00:22:00.960 that were being
00:22:01.500 admitted not on
00:22:02.780 merit,
00:22:03.240 but on their
00:22:03.900 DEI qualities,
00:22:06.420 so the color
00:22:07.100 of their skin,
00:22:07.680 essentially.
00:22:08.320 And they have
00:22:08.820 actually eliminated
00:22:09.680 that,
00:22:10.520 which I like
00:22:12.140 to think True North
00:22:12.760 in some way
00:22:13.520 played a part in.
00:22:14.480 Obviously,
00:22:14.680 we wrote about it,
00:22:15.520 as did many outlets.
00:22:17.480 So obviously,
00:22:18.140 they saw an insane
00:22:19.980 public pushback,
00:22:21.440 I'd imagine,
00:22:21.900 which is why
00:22:22.240 they canceled it.
00:22:22.900 So yeah,
00:22:23.560 do you guys
00:22:24.220 think that
00:22:24.760 universities going
00:22:26.520 forward will
00:22:27.260 not implement
00:22:28.100 these at all,
00:22:28.740 seeing the
00:22:29.340 backlash?
00:22:29.780 But I mean,
00:22:30.100 this is hardly
00:22:30.560 the first time
00:22:31.220 we've seen
00:22:31.640 a backlash
00:22:32.200 to a DEI policy.
00:22:34.900 I would say
00:22:35.920 that a lot
00:22:37.020 of this has
00:22:37.720 to do with
00:22:38.220 the fact that
00:22:38.980 Doug Ford
00:22:39.640 finally found
00:22:40.460 his spine
00:22:41.180 and decided
00:22:42.160 to speak
00:22:42.580 about this
00:22:43.060 issue.
00:22:44.020 You know,
00:22:44.200 DEI has
00:22:44.880 been expanding
00:22:46.320 rapidly under
00:22:47.160 his watch,
00:22:48.360 and the
00:22:48.980 premier does
00:22:49.640 have a
00:22:50.120 significant amount
00:22:50.780 of influence
00:22:51.240 over public
00:22:51.800 universities,
00:22:52.920 like Ryerson
00:22:53.800 University,
00:22:54.580 now known
00:22:54.960 as TMU.
00:22:56.340 And it was
00:22:57.300 the premier
00:22:58.340 who kicked
00:23:00.300 this in motion
00:23:01.120 and told TMU
00:23:03.020 and said publicly
00:23:03.680 that this is a stupid
00:23:04.560 idea,
00:23:04.960 this is ridiculous.
00:23:06.340 Medical students
00:23:07.120 should not be chosen
00:23:08.200 based on the color
00:23:09.400 of their skin
00:23:10.100 or their identity.
00:23:11.160 It needs to be
00:23:12.120 based on merit
00:23:13.020 and their ability
00:23:13.780 to actually do
00:23:14.540 the job.
00:23:15.140 And I think
00:23:16.500 that this is
00:23:17.020 what happens,
00:23:17.740 Cosman,
00:23:18.220 when conservative
00:23:19.280 premiers and
00:23:20.740 conservative politicians
00:23:21.680 for that matter
00:23:22.340 decide to speak
00:23:23.740 up and say,
00:23:24.680 no,
00:23:25.320 I was elected
00:23:26.200 to be a conservative.
00:23:27.060 I'm going to
00:23:27.580 govern and voice
00:23:28.960 my opinions
00:23:29.540 like a conservative.
00:23:31.300 Yeah,
00:23:31.860 and they have
00:23:32.400 the executive
00:23:33.060 power to do
00:23:34.100 these things.
00:23:34.940 It's just
00:23:35.420 they haven't
00:23:36.100 used them
00:23:36.660 up to this point.
00:23:37.760 You're absolutely
00:23:38.300 right.
00:23:39.000 The other thing,
00:23:39.740 Isaac,
00:23:40.060 that you pointed
00:23:40.560 out,
00:23:41.100 it was really
00:23:42.040 the media
00:23:42.480 attention that
00:23:43.300 forced people
00:23:44.100 to pay attention
00:23:44.840 to this.
00:23:45.660 And I think
00:23:46.080 a lot of
00:23:46.440 these universities,
00:23:47.180 you asked,
00:23:48.340 you know,
00:23:48.520 will they continue
00:23:49.300 doing this?
00:23:49.860 I think they will,
00:23:50.760 but they like
00:23:51.620 to do it
00:23:52.160 under the cloak
00:23:53.120 of darkness.
00:23:54.120 They don't want
00:23:54.560 anybody to know
00:23:55.500 about it.
00:23:55.940 They want to
00:23:56.300 implement these
00:23:57.060 policies,
00:23:57.680 and when they're
00:23:58.720 implemented,
00:23:59.620 then they're
00:24:00.240 harder to get
00:24:01.060 rid of.
00:24:01.900 So it's about
00:24:03.160 shining a light
00:24:03.860 on this stuff
00:24:04.460 because otherwise,
00:24:05.180 if people are
00:24:06.060 not aware,
00:24:06.720 if voters are
00:24:07.360 not informed
00:24:08.120 what's happening
00:24:08.980 at our post-secondary
00:24:10.820 schools,
00:24:11.340 secondary schools,
00:24:12.280 and elementary
00:24:12.840 schools,
00:24:13.400 then they're
00:24:14.240 not going
00:24:14.560 to do
00:24:14.860 anything about
00:24:15.540 it.
00:24:15.740 They're just
00:24:16.040 going to
00:24:16.280 live in
00:24:16.580 ignorance.
00:24:18.300 What's shocking,
00:24:19.480 Isaac,
00:24:20.000 is that
00:24:20.820 the Supreme
00:24:21.820 Court of
00:24:22.200 Canada has
00:24:22.800 essentially
00:24:23.260 upheld a
00:24:24.200 ruling that
00:24:25.140 allows
00:24:25.820 discrimination
00:24:26.580 against white
00:24:27.900 people.
00:24:28.780 That's basically
00:24:29.380 what it is,
00:24:29.920 that you can't
00:24:30.740 be racist,
00:24:33.040 essentially,
00:24:33.800 towards white
00:24:34.440 people.
00:24:34.900 So DEI
00:24:35.760 has technically
00:24:36.440 allowed these
00:24:37.380 policies that
00:24:37.920 are fundamentally
00:24:38.580 racist at
00:24:40.340 their core
00:24:41.460 are permitted.
00:24:42.740 So if the
00:24:43.980 institutions are
00:24:44.960 infected by this
00:24:46.060 ideology,
00:24:46.540 I can't imagine
00:24:47.420 it will be
00:24:47.820 vanquished by
00:24:48.720 one premier
00:24:49.820 saying something
00:24:50.880 about it.
00:24:51.900 Yeah,
00:24:52.560 one thing I
00:24:53.080 wanted to add
00:24:53.580 was touching
00:24:54.320 on the racism.
00:24:55.340 Obviously,
00:24:55.920 DEI is one
00:24:56.820 of the most
00:24:57.120 racist things
00:24:58.080 that can be,
00:24:58.620 not just on
00:24:59.360 the hiring
00:24:59.860 perspective,
00:25:01.060 you're discriminating
00:25:02.580 against whites,
00:25:03.380 for example,
00:25:03.920 but you're really
00:25:05.080 fomenting
00:25:05.660 racism in your
00:25:07.160 population.
00:25:07.640 Because think
00:25:08.200 about it,
00:25:08.600 if you know
00:25:09.240 in your mind
00:25:09.900 that 90%
00:25:10.680 of medical
00:25:11.400 students are
00:25:12.400 admitted on
00:25:12.980 DEI qualities,
00:25:15.340 and then you
00:25:15.820 walk into a
00:25:16.460 doctor's office
00:25:17.080 and you see a
00:25:17.780 minority,
00:25:18.340 the first thing
00:25:18.920 that's going to
00:25:19.280 cross your mind
00:25:19.740 is, uh-oh,
00:25:20.700 was this a
00:25:21.220 DEI hire who
00:25:22.000 was not
00:25:22.400 qualified and
00:25:23.080 doesn't know
00:25:23.560 what they're
00:25:23.800 talking about
00:25:24.400 and is going
00:25:25.040 to ruin my
00:25:26.260 health procedure,
00:25:26.900 or do they
00:25:27.740 actually have
00:25:28.820 the qualifications
00:25:29.900 they should
00:25:30.540 to be a
00:25:31.600 doctor?
00:25:32.560 Yeah,
00:25:32.780 Cosman,
00:25:33.120 I've said
00:25:33.460 that there are
00:25:33.820 two industries
00:25:34.480 where I think
00:25:35.080 DEI,
00:25:35.940 well,
00:25:36.280 DEI has no
00:25:36.960 place anywhere,
00:25:37.440 but there are
00:25:37.860 two industries
00:25:38.340 you really
00:25:38.680 don't want
00:25:39.100 to have,
00:25:40.100 you really
00:25:40.380 don't want
00:25:40.680 DEI to be
00:25:41.260 involved in.
00:25:42.240 I would say
00:25:42.980 that the
00:25:43.420 first is
00:25:44.120 medicine,
00:25:45.160 and the
00:25:45.440 second is
00:25:46.020 likely in
00:25:46.720 the airline
00:25:47.080 business.
00:25:48.000 I don't want
00:25:48.440 DEI pilots,
00:25:49.380 I want the
00:25:49.840 best pilots
00:25:50.420 possible.
00:25:52.040 Yeah,
00:25:52.560 and we've
00:25:52.980 seen this
00:25:53.500 narrative play
00:25:54.260 out in the
00:25:54.700 United States,
00:25:55.380 there was a
00:25:55.940 big debate
00:25:56.460 about the
00:25:56.940 DEI measures
00:25:57.820 implemented by
00:25:58.860 aviation
00:25:59.440 companies,
00:26:00.640 and it is
00:26:01.520 truly frightening,
00:26:03.320 and it's not
00:26:03.680 just aviation,
00:26:04.700 right?
00:26:04.880 Like,
00:26:05.140 it's these
00:26:06.000 critical jobs
00:26:07.160 that are
00:26:08.040 very high
00:26:08.640 risk and
00:26:09.900 have a high
00:26:10.800 potential for
00:26:11.680 dangerous
00:26:12.240 outcomes,
00:26:12.920 and it doesn't
00:26:14.320 just put the
00:26:14.960 people working
00:26:15.720 those jobs at
00:26:16.520 risk,
00:26:16.920 it puts
00:26:17.280 everybody around
00:26:18.320 them,
00:26:18.640 everybody employing
00:26:19.540 their services,
00:26:21.260 etc.
00:26:21.600 and to focus
00:26:22.960 on something as
00:26:24.740 ridiculous as
00:26:26.120 just your
00:26:27.120 race instead
00:26:28.800 of the actual
00:26:29.780 merit and
00:26:30.680 experience and
00:26:31.900 skills you
00:26:32.420 provide is
00:26:33.700 just, to me,
00:26:35.040 it's crazy.
00:26:35.640 I don't get it,
00:26:36.660 but there's
00:26:37.180 obviously an
00:26:38.180 agenda behind
00:26:39.180 this, and it
00:26:39.800 seems like the
00:26:40.820 elite have
00:26:41.400 wholeheartedly
00:26:42.480 bought into
00:26:43.020 this.
00:26:43.880 So before we
00:26:44.960 wrap it up,
00:26:45.480 I just want to
00:26:46.160 make the audience
00:26:47.280 aware of what
00:26:48.040 system was in
00:26:50.140 place before it
00:26:51.180 got removed by
00:26:52.860 TMU's medical
00:26:54.200 school.
00:26:54.940 This is, by the
00:26:55.380 way, the first
00:26:56.000 new medical
00:26:56.480 school in
00:26:57.200 Canada or
00:26:58.060 Ontario, I
00:26:58.800 think in close
00:26:59.620 to 100 years.
00:27:00.820 They decided the
00:27:01.820 original plan was
00:27:02.880 to have 75% of
00:27:05.060 the applicants
00:27:05.880 selected from a
00:27:07.320 pool of
00:27:07.940 Indigenous
00:27:08.820 applicants, Black
00:27:10.120 applicants, and
00:27:10.740 then there's a
00:27:11.140 third open
00:27:12.200 DEI category, and
00:27:13.760 then what is
00:27:14.860 it?
00:27:15.760 The 25%, the
00:27:18.060 rest of the
00:27:18.460 25% was going
00:27:20.080 to be general
00:27:21.980 admissions.
00:27:23.080 So the actual
00:27:23.940 merit-based
00:27:24.640 applicants only
00:27:25.660 made up a small
00:27:26.360 fraction, only
00:27:27.620 were going to
00:27:28.100 make up a small
00:27:28.700 fraction of the
00:27:29.520 first class of
00:27:30.640 the TMU
00:27:31.000 medical school.
00:27:31.680 Thankfully, for
00:27:32.700 all of us, that
00:27:33.780 has been averted.
00:27:35.480 All right, everyone,
00:27:36.060 thank you for
00:27:36.580 joining us, and
00:27:37.240 remember, what
00:27:38.040 you have just
00:27:38.540 heard is off the
00:27:39.700 record.
00:27:40.740 Say, did you
00:27:46.140 guys see Heather
00:27:47.200 McPherson, the
00:27:48.120 NDP member of
00:27:49.120 Parliament?
00:27:50.000 She was at a
00:27:50.980 Wisconsin polling
00:27:52.000 station on
00:27:52.600 election day.
00:27:53.280 Now, what in the
00:27:53.920 world was she
00:27:54.520 doing there?
00:27:55.300 What business
00:27:55.720 does she have at
00:27:56.880 a Wisconsin
00:27:57.400 polling station?
00:27:58.980 Yeah, Harrison,
00:27:59.720 the first thing I
00:28:00.300 did was look up
00:28:01.620 Wisconsin's voting
00:28:02.440 laws because, as
00:28:03.580 you all know, some
00:28:04.300 states, you don't
00:28:05.020 need voter ID.
00:28:05.760 So I was like,
00:28:06.100 maybe she went
00:28:06.720 there to vote
00:28:07.220 secretly, but you
00:28:08.660 do need voter ID
00:28:09.720 in Wisconsin.
00:28:10.220 So I don't think
00:28:11.020 she was there to
00:28:12.240 vote.
00:28:12.880 Like I was saying,
00:28:13.680 maybe she was
00:28:14.420 evaluating the
00:28:15.840 electoral processes
00:28:16.840 of the states and
00:28:18.300 going to bring some
00:28:19.200 of that back home.
00:28:20.740 I think it's just
00:28:21.640 part of this need
00:28:23.160 by Canadian
00:28:24.080 politicians to be
00:28:25.400 accepted by their
00:28:26.600 American counterparts.
00:28:27.880 Democrats.
00:28:28.040 They just want to be the
00:28:29.400 Democrats.
00:28:30.080 And in many ways,
00:28:30.800 they are.
00:28:31.340 Literally, their
00:28:31.940 policies and the
00:28:33.500 way they conduct
00:28:34.300 themselves is just a
00:28:35.320 copy of it.
00:28:36.040 And they just want to
00:28:36.640 be seen as on their
00:28:38.340 side.
00:28:38.860 It's quite sad,
00:28:40.600 actually.
00:28:41.020 You know, seeing the
00:28:41.760 stories of Canadians
00:28:42.780 that flew down to
00:28:44.020 California or New York
00:28:45.300 just to go vote for
00:28:46.260 Trump because they have
00:28:47.260 no voter ID laws.
00:28:49.040 I was like, you know
00:28:49.580 what?
00:28:49.820 That's not like it's
00:28:51.340 going to make a big
00:28:51.860 difference, but still
00:28:53.220 that's pretty funny.
00:28:54.200 You know, just, just
00:28:55.360 why not?
00:28:55.960 You can vote for Trump
00:28:57.420 in a blue state that
00:28:58.780 doesn't accept voter
00:28:59.500 ID.
00:28:59.880 It's not like it's
00:29:00.260 going to make a big
00:29:00.840 difference.
00:29:01.280 It just exposes how
00:29:02.480 absolutely insane that
00:29:03.880 idea is.
00:29:06.540 Yeah.
00:29:06.980 In Canada, we have
00:29:07.880 voter ID.
00:29:08.880 Luckily, you know, if
00:29:10.100 they could get rid of
00:29:11.060 it, I'm sure they
00:29:11.660 would imagine that.
00:29:13.980 That would be
00:29:14.400 something.
00:29:15.220 All right.
00:29:15.620 Well, thank you all
00:29:16.320 very much for watching.
00:29:17.760 Enjoy the weekend and
00:29:19.320 we'll talk to you
00:29:19.860 later.
