00:00:00.000 For the Prime Minister to say there is systemic racism in our police forces is absolute nonsense
00:00:11.240 from a politician who himself is under attack for corruption and ethics violations.
00:00:17.880 You couldn't get a group of police officers to agree on where to go for coffee
00:00:21.760 without a debate, let alone take a position on racial relations.
00:00:27.560 Yet, groups like Antifa and BLM are stoking the fires metaphorically
00:00:32.780 and literally in places like Portland, Seattle, New York City, and now Rochester.
00:00:39.700 Never mind the nonsense they have portrayed in Canadian cities like Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver.
00:00:46.960 But the nonsense is fueled by the Liberal government.
00:00:50.380 Last week, Justin Trudeau announced a $221 million initiative to assist Black entrepreneurs and business startups.
00:01:00.100 Wait, what, only Black entrepreneurs? 0.92
00:01:03.940 Well, he did throw in Indigenous folks as a seemingly afterthought.
00:01:08.240 When Twitter and other social media erupted with condemnation of the Liberals saying that announcement was, in itself, racist,
00:01:17.140 foot soldiers like Global News' David Akin chirped up, denying it was any such thing.
00:01:23.540 Said he, quote,
00:01:24.720 Akin seems to be saying that the banking system and the venture capital investors were not available to persons of colour,
00:01:50.180 which is, of course, unadulterated nonsense.
00:01:54.780 I have never seen a bank loan application that asks the race of the person applying.
00:02:01.380 Trudeau's plan is purely patronizing to the Black community, and nothing more.
00:02:07.800 Canada is the least racist and most diverse country on the face of God's green earth. 0.99
00:02:12.460 It is reminiscent of the Democrats in the United States,
00:02:16.720 who explode about the unfairness of anyone asking for voter ID in their elections,
00:02:23.080 saying it suppresses the Black vote. 0.98
00:02:25.880 They evidently don't think Black folks are smart enough to get their own government identification. 0.99
00:02:31.920 That is patronizing at the worst level. 0.99
00:02:35.600 Justin Trudeau is no better.
00:02:36.960 Perhaps he is trying to atone for the multiple times he wore blackface at parties and in well-publicized photos, 0.85
00:02:45.220 so many that he can't remember how many times he actually did it.
00:02:49.900 Or, more likely, this is yet another example of inherent racism in the Liberal Party of Canada,
00:02:56.700 to the detriment of the rest of the country.
00:02:59.120 If you are white, and a descendant of generations of Canadian settlers,
00:03:05.960 whose forefathers fought in every Canadian war of significance this country has fought in to keep us free,
00:03:13.380 there is nothing for you.
00:03:16.320 Shame on Justin Trudeau.
00:03:18.760 For True North, I'm Leo Knight.
