00:00:00.000 what happens to your country when it becomes illegal to speak the truth online when it becomes
00:00:11.440 a crime to offend the delicate sensibilities of a small but powerful faction in your country
00:00:17.200 well you no longer live in a free country you cease to be living in a country that values
00:00:22.320 freedom you live in a digital tyranny it is just that simple a country that criminalizes facebook
00:00:29.200 posts instagram posts and tweets is a tyrannical country and world leaders who institute these
00:00:36.160 laws onto their people lose the right to call their country a free country despite whatever
00:00:41.520 sound bites these leaders may wish to have now our friends in ireland are getting a front row seat
00:00:46.720 as to what this tyranny really looks like right now as the irish government seeks to irreversibly
00:00:52.320 change the demographics of ireland by way of mass immigration destabilizing the country by bringing
00:00:57.680 in migrants at record speeds the irish people are being punished for speaking out about it online
00:01:04.240 well it all boiled over last week when an algerian born man who was originally supposed to be deported
00:01:08.960 from ireland but was eventually given citizenship went on a stabbing spree outside of an irish school
00:01:14.320 and sent three irish children to the hospital with wounds dubliners took to the streets and rioted
00:01:20.720 instead of trying to lessen the tension in ireland to try and bring the country together
00:01:25.520 the irish prime minister leo varadkar decided to double down on his commitment to strengthen
00:01:31.440 online hate speech legislation in addition to that i think it's now very obvious to anyone who
00:01:36.560 might have doubted it that our incitement hatred legislation is just not up to date it's not up to
00:01:42.000 date for the social media age and we need that legislation through and we need it through within
00:01:46.400 a matter of weeks because it's not just the platforms who have a responsibility here and they do
00:01:51.680 uh there's also the individuals uh who post messages and images online that stir up hatred
00:01:57.760 and violence and we need to be able to use laws to go after them individually as well because
00:02:02.560 apparently the laws preventing the irish people from speaking out online just weren't strong enough
00:02:08.000 now if all this sounds familiar that's because it should in canada justin trudeau is trying to do the
00:02:13.520 exact same thing well that's why we're going to be moving forward within 100 days of forming uh
00:02:19.760 government on uh bringing in a bill on online harms uh and online hatred uh that is going to do a better
00:02:27.760 job of tilting the scales a little bit uh towards defending people from the impacts of hateful and uh
00:02:34.880 and uh incitation to violence that uh the speech that that ends up getting out there c36 is nearly
00:02:40.880 identical to the irish online hate speech bill except in many cases it seems even worse since
00:02:46.560 trudeau's re-election in 2021 c36 has yet to be reintroduced but if any canadian was quietly hoping
00:02:52.880 that maybe justin trudeau forgot about this tyrannical law to crack down on our free speech
00:02:57.600 well news that broke last week would kill any of those hopes arif varani canada's new attorney general
00:03:04.080 last week said instituting an online hate speech law was quote an absolute priority this
00:03:10.640 legislation is coming and how we as canadians choose to respond to this bill will define what
00:03:16.400 we are allowed to say for several years to come drop a like in the video help us out with subscribing
00:03:22.640 to the true north youtube channel and the comment question for the episode is this how will you
00:03:28.320 respond to an online hate speech law imposed in canada let me know in the comments and let's get into it
00:03:35.600 well last week all hell broke loose in dublin ireland when an algerian born national went on
00:03:41.520 a stabbing spree outside of a dublin school injuring three irish school children this algerian
00:03:47.520 born man was supposed to be deported from ireland in the early 2000s but through the help of ngos was
00:03:52.960 granted irish citizenship the destruction in dublin ireland was quite serious several stores have been
00:03:58.400 destroyed and over 30 people have been arrested over the riots how exactly did the irish government
00:04:03.520 respond to these riots well they committed to doubling down on enforcing hate speech laws
00:04:09.280 apparently the online hate speech legislation isn't strong enough the government is addressing
00:04:14.560 the extremist content online like hate speech and incitement to violence and commission oman is
00:04:19.840 ireland's new online safety and media regulator and will also be joint regulator along with the
00:04:25.120 european commission for the eu digital services act a draft code will be published very shortly for
00:04:31.200 stakeholder consultation and this will hold the video sharing platforms accountable for how they
00:04:36.400 protect their users online and will deal with extremist content like hate speech and incitement to
00:04:42.560 violence this is a new era in which the regulators and the people they serve will be empowered to make
00:04:48.080 the online world safer for all in order to understand the frustrations of the irish people
00:04:53.200 you have to have a full understanding of the scope of the migrant surge taking place inside ireland
00:04:59.680 this is from the new york post in the 12 months leading up to april this year 141 600 immigrants
00:05:07.680 landed in ireland the irish population is increased by more than two percent if the u.s had similar
00:05:13.520 immigration it would mean nine million extra people last year more than 13 000 people from non-ukrainian
00:05:21.440 origin entered ireland a 400 spike over 2021 this according to the new york post has made an already
00:05:29.920 devastating housing shortage a catastrophe and just as migrants have been flooding into ireland
00:05:36.080 the crime rate in ireland has been skyrocketing ireland's murder rate in 2023 has doubled from the
00:05:42.480 year before and according to the irish times there's also been a similar spike in robbery extortion hijacking
00:05:49.200 and assaults now as you would probably guessed none of this has made the irish people all too happy
00:05:55.600 and one of the loudest voices speaking up on behalf of the irish people has been ufc superstar conor
00:06:01.440 mcgregor it all really started for mcgregor when he told his 10 million followers that ireland is at war
00:06:09.200 and from that point on he has been loudly criticizing leo varadkar and the irish government's failure
00:06:15.200 to protect the irish people for example this tweet that conor mcgregor posted might have really triggered
00:06:22.560 some leftists because unlike so many conor mcgregor has decided that speaking the truth is better than
00:06:28.800 staying silent one of the most horrific crimes this nation ever seen has occurred we do not care
00:06:35.120 anymore what you sad cases have got to say in a war you are nothing we are not backing down we are only
00:06:41.440 warming up there will be no backing down until real change is implemented for the safety of our nation
00:06:46.960 we are not losing any more of our women and children to sick and twisted people who should
00:06:52.000 not even be in ireland in the first place call it what you want we do not care may god help us all
00:06:58.160 ireland for victory that is just one of several social media posts that conor mcgregor has been making
00:07:04.480 to his 10 million followers which of course has resulted in the irish government investigating conor
00:07:12.160 mcgregor for hate speech that in ireland is what constitutes hate speech in fact the spray-painted
00:07:19.360 words of irish lives matter according to the bbc is a hate incident that's a hate crime to say irish
00:07:26.320 lives matter it's also apparently anti-immigration shin fein the irish nationalist party has described the
00:07:33.920 words irish lives matter as disgraceful now black lives matter that's totally fine immigrant lives
00:07:41.520 matter i'm sure that would also pass but when you say irish lives matter in ireland or dare you say even
00:07:48.560 worse white lives matter that is really dangerous stuff so remember the graffitied words irish lives matter
00:07:56.720 is being investigated as a hate incident conor mcgregor's tweets on x are also being investigated
00:08:03.120 as a hate crime but you know who's not being investigated for a hate crime in ireland right
00:08:07.520 now as far as we can tell irish counselor azad teluctor teluctor said of the irish dublin rioters
00:08:15.600 that he'd like to see them shot in the head i'd like to see them shot in the head or bring the
00:08:20.720 public in and beat them until they die teluctor said to his fellow council members at the council chamber
00:08:28.000 now teluctor of course withdrew his comments but whether or not his words will be investigated for
00:08:33.600 maybe inciting hatred i doubt that'll happen even though the irish people seem to be barred from
00:08:39.360 criticizing mass immigration at all in fact they're not even allowed to say that their own people's
00:08:43.520 lives matter the irish government officials have no problem telling their own country that their
00:08:49.040 country is far too white during that oppression we still maintained our invisibility cloak of white
00:08:55.760 privilege and we often hear about white privilege and it hadn't really occurred to me that i had
00:09:01.440 white privilege as well but now listening to you i understand that i do have a privilege i think we
00:09:06.800 shouldn't forget that our parliament still looks very male very stale and pale of course you can say
00:09:13.040 that you're a middle class white man you as a white privileged man how does my debt impact your life
00:09:19.440 i think it's worth putting on the record of of this house um that that concept of of white privilege
00:09:24.640 much more so in the very dull white pasty ireland that i grew up in i think what we need to do
00:09:30.640 in our own political system is to call out the hypocrisy of standing in a
00:09:36.240 parliament like this full of white people the ireland that i grew up in was made for people just like
00:09:41.760 me it was made for white middle class able-bodied heterosexual uh men now the irish
00:09:49.120 online hate speech bill already is insane now leo varadkar is trying to strengthen it but as it
00:09:55.920 stands right now indictment to violence or hatred against persons on account of their protected
00:10:01.040 characteristics up to five years in prison it is an offense to prepare or possess material likely
00:10:08.640 to incite violence or hatred against persons on account of their protected characteristics
00:10:13.040 the punishment for that up to two years in jail for possessing material which will likely incite
00:10:18.880 violence or hatred think about that and how dangerous that really is well in canada we really
00:10:24.560 ought to be thinking about this justin judo has not been trying to hide his intent of introducing bill
00:10:30.080 c36 the online harms bill if bill c36 is reintroduced and passed in parliament exactly as it was back in
00:10:39.120 2021 the bill will criminalize any form of online speech if somebody believes it is motivated by bias
00:10:48.000 hatred or prejudice toward any protected characteristic in the canadian human rights act a canadian can be
00:10:54.000 hauled before a human rights tribunal and be forced to pay the government up to fifty thousand dollars
00:10:59.760 or an anonymous accuser twenty thousand dollars that's right you won't even know who is accusing you of
00:11:07.040 committing online hate speech but you'll still have to pay them thousands of dollars for the crime of
00:11:12.080 offending their sensibilities the worst part about bill c36 is that someone can go to a judge and have
00:11:18.400 you severely punished if they think you might commit an act of online hate speech not that you've posted
00:11:25.520 anything yet but that you might do something wrong pre-crime severely punished for not even committing a crime
00:11:33.360 as it says in the text of the legislation right here a person may with the attorney general's
00:11:39.040 consent lay an information before a provincial court judge if the person fears on reasonable grounds
00:11:45.600 that another person will commit an offense motivated by bias prejudice or hate this commitment to reintroduce
00:11:52.720 bill c36 if re-elected can be found in the liberal party website right now they are not hiding their intent
00:11:59.760 to do this but make no mistake about it this would be the end of freedom of speech in canada or whatever is left of it
00:12:06.480 let's also be honest about something else justin trudeau has very little to lose at this point
00:12:11.520 if an election were held today he would lose by a large margin but if trudeau can pass bill c36
00:12:18.000 and criminalize any form of online debate over the single biggest issue of our time mass immigration that could have
00:12:26.160 serious implications on this country and also could help justin trudeau force his mass immigration agenda
00:12:31.600 through government without having to listen to the public outcry on social media the irish people may
00:12:36.960 be going through it right now but make no mistake about it this is coming to canada all right time for the
00:12:43.280 ratio of the week the winner this week is liberal mp ken hardy after a shooting in winnipeg ken hardy did what
00:12:50.240 any sane person would do and immediately go out and attack pierre polyev for i guess inciting the
00:12:56.560 shooting somehow this is what hardy wrote on social media beyond troubling to see another mass shooting
00:13:02.000 in canada now in winnipeg and we've lost so many police officers might it be the anti-social burn
00:13:08.880 everything down far-right attitudes we're seeing creeping in from the u.s and the creep on the canadian
00:13:14.720 side pierre polyev over 3.6 000 replies to only 467 likes for ken hardy here look at this comment with
00:13:26.560 1.6 000 likes this is a despicable post i guess nothing is beneath liberals these days this comment
00:13:35.120 has over 1 000 likes imagine blaming the official opposition instead of the government in power for
00:13:41.520 eight years for what has the appearance of drug-related homicides and how about this comment
00:13:47.040 from michael tomlinson or might it be the misplaced and expensive waste of resources attacking legal gun
00:13:53.600 owners hunters and sports shooters rather than concentrating on gangs criminals and illegal
00:13:58.560 firearms your fault in other words ken your government your failures well said all right everyone
00:14:04.480 that's gonna do it for us this week on the show thank you so much for tuning in my name is harrison
00:14:09.040 faulkner and this is ratio
