Transcript

00:00:00.000 I'm here in Ottawa with Maxime Bernier,
00:00:02.600 Chief of the Parti Popular.
00:00:04.000 Why have you decided to come here today?
00:00:06.000 Why is it important for you to be here with all the Canadians?
00:00:09.500 It's been already months that I participate in rallies
00:00:12.500 everywhere in Canada,
00:00:14.000 and it's the moment culminating here in Ottawa.
00:00:16.500 I want to thank the passengers who have given the hope
00:00:19.500 to all Canadians.
00:00:21.500 And for me, it's a duty to be here today.
00:00:24.500 It's not a manifestation,
00:00:26.500 I think it's a rally,
00:00:28.500 to celebrate our liberties.
00:00:32.500 Because for us, in our hearts,
00:00:34.500 we have our liberties.
00:00:36.500 And we want these policemen,
00:00:38.500 in Ottawa,
00:00:39.500 the policemen of the establishment,
00:00:41.500 understand that enough, it's enough.
00:00:43.500 We have a beautiful manifestation, pacifiquement,
00:00:46.500 and we hope that the people here,
00:00:48.500 who sit behind me,
00:00:50.500 will be able to understand the message of Canadians.
00:00:53.500 That enough, it's enough.
00:00:54.500 We want our liberties,
00:00:56.500 and that quickly as possible.
00:00:58.500 Yes.
00:00:59.500 There are many Quebecers,
00:01:00.500 I've noticed,
00:01:01.500 who are here today.
00:01:02.500 You think,
00:01:03.500 especially in Quebec,
00:01:04.500 where the health measures are really severe,
00:01:07.500 the world is really tannis,
00:01:08.500 the vaccination,
00:01:09.500 the vaccination,
00:01:10.500 the tax,
00:01:11.500 all that.
00:01:12.500 You think that the world,
00:01:14.500 it's not a bit more?
00:01:15.500 Absolutely.
00:01:16.500 The government of Quebec
00:01:17.500 is the worst government of all Canada.
00:01:20.500 Mr. Legault is a dictator.
00:01:22.500 He decided,
00:01:23.500 tomorrow,
00:01:24.500 to say,
00:01:25.500 we close the commerce,
00:01:26.500 without any scientific reason.
00:01:28.500 It's with his sense,
00:01:31.500 what he thinks today.
00:01:32.500 And for us,
00:01:33.500 we say,
00:01:34.500 no, no,
00:01:35.500 we ask Mr. Legault
00:01:36.500 some scientific proofs of what he does.
00:01:38.500 He has our liberties since the beginning.
00:01:40.500 And then,
00:01:41.500 we say to Mr. Legault
00:01:42.500 for his last confinement,
00:01:44.500 that it's enough.
00:01:45.500 And then,
00:01:46.500 Mr. Legault
00:01:47.500 does the segregation,
00:01:48.500 the discrimination.
00:01:49.500 People don't have the right,
00:01:51.500 like me,
00:01:52.500 to go to the big magazines.
00:01:53.500 Listen,
00:01:54.500 we're not in a democratic country
00:01:56.500 where we prevent people
00:01:57.500 to participate in society.
00:01:59.500 Especially,
00:02:00.500 everyone,
00:02:02.500 everyone can get caught
00:02:04.500 and transmit the virus to the mic.
00:02:05.500 So,
00:02:06.500 we stop.
00:02:07.500 It's enough.
00:02:08.500 That's what we say,
00:02:09.500 Mr. Legault,
00:02:10.500 and all the politicians
00:02:11.500 provinciaux.
00:02:12.500 What do you think,
00:02:13.500 you,
00:02:14.500 of Eric Duhem,
00:02:15.500 the conservative party
00:02:16.500 of Quebec?
00:02:17.500 What do you think,
00:02:18.500 of the next election,
00:02:19.500 that it would be a good option
00:02:20.500 for the Québécois?
00:02:21.500 For me,
00:02:22.500 I don't have politics
00:02:23.500 at the provincial level.
00:02:24.500 We are at the federal level,
00:02:25.500 but we are going to support
00:02:26.500 every political party
00:02:27.500 who takes the freedom
00:02:28.500 and the return
00:02:29.500 to the normal life
00:02:30.500 that we had before COVID-19.
00:02:32.500 You are the only
00:02:33.500 head of the federal government
00:02:34.500 here.
00:02:35.500 Aaron O'Toole is not there.
00:02:36.500 What do you think,
00:02:37.500 that you are the only one
00:02:38.500 here today?
00:02:39.500 It's sad.
00:02:40.500 It's sad.
00:02:41.500 It's sad.
00:02:42.500 Because the people,
00:02:43.500 the candidates,
00:02:44.500 the candidates,
00:02:46.500 they are afraid
00:02:47.500 to meet their people.
00:02:48.500 And I tell them,
00:02:49.500 if you don't want to come here,
00:02:51.500 at least look at what's going on.
00:02:52.500 And have the courage
00:02:54.500 to beat you for your convictions,
00:02:55.500 especially the conservatives.
00:02:57.500 The conservatives,
00:02:58.500 I've said it for a long time,
00:02:59.500 it's a party
00:03:00.500 who has been intellectually
00:03:01.500 and morally.
00:03:02.500 They don't defend
00:03:03.500 the conservative values.
00:03:04.500 And this party
00:03:06.500 isn't the future
00:03:07.500 in Canada.
00:03:08.500 You have a lot
00:03:09.500 more support
00:03:10.500 in 2021
00:03:11.500 than in 2019.
00:03:12.500 You see it today.
00:03:13.500 There are thousands
00:03:14.500 of people.
00:03:15.500 Do you think
00:03:16.500 that in the next election,
00:03:17.500 you're going to have
00:03:18.500 some candidates?
00:03:19.500 We hope.
00:03:20.500 We'll work hard.
00:03:21.500 This party has grown.
00:03:22.500 In the first election,
00:03:23.500 in 2019,
00:03:24.500 we had 1,6% of votes.
00:03:26.500 In the second election,
00:03:27.500 the last election,
00:03:28.500 in 2021,
00:03:29.500 in the last autumn,
00:03:31.500 we had 5% of votes.
00:03:33.500 And this will allow me
00:03:34.500 to participate
00:03:35.500 in the national debates
00:03:36.500 at the next election.
00:03:37.500 There,
00:03:38.500 supposedly,
00:03:39.500 in the polls,
00:03:40.500 we're at 10%.
00:03:41.500 So,
00:03:42.500 the popular party
00:03:43.500 has grown.
00:03:44.500 And yes,
00:03:45.500 the goal at the next election,
00:03:46.500 it's going to be
00:03:47.500 to get elected.
00:03:48.500 And we're going to work
00:03:49.500 very hard there-dessus
00:03:50.500 to have people
00:03:51.500 who defend the good,
00:03:52.500 and the freedom
00:03:53.500 at the Parliament.
00:03:54.500 for dads,
00:03:55.500 they were daughters,
00:03:56.500 they were dog겠지만
00:03:57.500 who went to school.
00:03:58.500 To vote for attention.
00:03:59.500 It was two.
00:04:00.500 We are building
00:04:01.740 the right director
00:04:02.500 from the popular stage.
00:04:03.500 Number two,
00:04:04.500 that you'll get
00:04:05.500 the right number.
00:04:06.500 I live here at the
00:04:07.500 point of the election.
00:04:08.500 We learned over
00:04:10.420 which excited
00:04:11.580 is how the
00:04:20.900 boy is.
00:04:21.960 There is no
