00:00:00.000 Hey Canada, part of me wants to apologize for the poor production qualities of this video,
00:00:09.220 for the fact that at some point in these few minutes you're probably going to hear a small
00:00:12.420 child shouting in the background about something or throwing their toys around. But I also know
00:00:17.560 you understand, because that is the situation that everybody's facing right now. So many people
00:00:22.140 are facing major disruptions to their lives. We're all in it together. We are all making
00:00:27.180 sacrifices, all seeing changes. Except one very protected, privileged class of individual,
00:00:34.280 the illegal border crossers at Roxham Road. How dare we think, how dare we suggest that they 1.00
00:00:40.400 should perhaps alter their illegal migration patterns even one iota. Unbelievable to see that
00:00:47.980 Bill Blair, public safety minister, and pretty much everybody in the government is saying,
00:00:52.460 no, we're going to let this illegal border crossing stay open while we have shut the border
00:00:57.500 pretty much to everyone else. Even to Canadian citizens who are showing symptoms, because they
00:01:04.380 will not be able to board flights to return home to Canada. If while trying to board a plane,
00:01:09.400 they are shown to be sniffling, coughing, coughing, or admitting that they have a fever. What on earth
00:01:14.640 is going on here and where are our priorities? Now, Bill Blair does say, don't worry, it's going to be
00:01:19.860 okay because they are already being put in isolation. Some sort of housing facility or
00:01:24.820 something right there at the border, right there at Roxham Road, where they will be isolated for 14
00:01:29.460 days to make sure that they do not actually have COVID-19. Well, hold on a second though. Jean-Pierre
00:01:35.700 Fortin, he is the head of the union that looks after all the border employees. He told Post Media that
00:01:41.800 he called the guys on the front lines and they said, that is not true. It's just not happening.
00:01:47.860 As of the time that Bill Blair made that announcement, maybe they're trying to change
00:01:51.620 it, maybe they have changed it, but it looks like Bill Blair was uninformed or something that I do
00:01:56.680 not like to say, and I never like to use this accusation against government officials, but
00:02:00.540 maybe he was even lying to us. Like, it seems like the government was lying to us about enhanced
00:02:06.180 screening measures at the airports. You had Jason Kenney physically showing up at the Calgary
00:02:10.620 airport going, what on earth is going on here? And the Fed said, no, we have screening measures.
00:02:15.360 What are you talking about? Melanie Jolie and David Lametti even said it with this weird
00:02:19.880 smile and smirk in that press conference that has gone viral. And it got to the point where
00:02:25.220 provincial officials had to be sent to airports, which is a federal jurisdiction to enforce
00:02:30.140 these rules because the Feds were dropping the ball. You know, I think when this is all
00:02:34.580 over, we're really going to be thinking, rethinking open borders and global governance. It's really
00:02:39.560 going to change and it's not going to work out well for the globalist agenda. We're going to find
00:02:44.200 people are going to go back to local is better and looking to their more local levels of government
00:02:48.720 for guidance in how we proceed rather than to places like the United Nations. Something
00:02:53.860 like this, well, this just underscores it. Absolutely unbelievable, not only that the illegal border
00:02:59.600 crossing remains open, but that how dare we suggest that these individuals should adjust
00:03:06.120 their life patterns when the rest of us, when everybody around the world, is adjusting theirs.
00:03:14.200 Let's see.
