00:05:15.860Parents know what's best for their children, not teachers.
00:05:19.120And, you know, what they're trying to do is separate those children from their parents
00:05:23.340so that if parents do try to intervene, well, then the teachers or the schools
00:05:27.080or most likely the government is their savior.
00:05:30.040And that's ultimately what they want to be seen as.
00:05:32.680So I think this is, you know, as long as you said, it doesn't go far enough.
00:05:37.120But another thing I want to mention, too, is that in Ontario, I don't think a lot of people know this,
00:05:41.580this is already a policy that parents do not have to be notified when their children socially transition in schools.
00:05:48.920This is something that's coming up in New Brunswick because Blaine Higgs is reversing a policy that was kind of quietly passed.
00:05:55.140But this is already a policy in a lot of different provinces, including Ontario.
00:05:58.420Yeah, and you've through right now launched a petition to basically stand with Blaine Higgs.
00:06:05.020But more about the mechanisms being used here is that he's actually facing a calls for a leadership review.
00:06:11.420So I can't stress enough that there are parents that, you know, again, it's hard to find an issue in politics that is as unifying as this.
00:06:19.640But somehow it hasn't unified the PC party in New Brunswick.
00:06:23.240Yeah, and I mean, you know, petitions are good to show solidarity, but the, you know, specific reason why we use our petition is so that we can build our supporter base
00:06:33.860so that when a leadership review does come, we will actively sell memberships and support that politician that is speaking out.
00:06:41.860So not only will we show, you know, solidarity through a petition, but we'll also use that to actually effectively give him the votes that he needs to win.
00:06:49.380So just in the bigger context here, I mean, we have this, I'll say, a coalition.
00:06:55.860I mean, it's a very thin coalition between, you know, some transgender folks like you mentioned, between Muslim Canadians, Christian Canadians.
00:07:03.620I think in general, just a lot of parents that are not particularly religious or political.
00:07:08.600Do you think this is kind of a one-time deal that, you know, when it comes to what kids are being taught in schools, everyone can get together.
00:07:15.660But the second you deviate from that issue, everyone kind of goes back into their corners again?
00:07:21.220No, I do think that it will unify a lot of people, and it will start with the gender ideology issue.
00:07:26.880But I think people are a lot more unified on social issues in general.
00:07:30.260And culture wars are facing different parts of the world, and they're coming to Canada.
00:07:35.800And a lot of conservative politicians are, you know, reticent to talk about these issues, but they are here and people care about them.
00:07:43.200And so, you know, I think that in order to win, to motivate the base, to win future elections, there will have to be a solid opposition taking a stand on these issues, taking a stand with parents, taking a stand with people of all different faith backgrounds,
00:07:57.320and really protecting family values in Canada because our children are being targeted.
00:08:05.440I mean, just in Manitoba, recently in a city in Manitoba, they were putting in different really sexually explicit books in the library,
00:08:14.020and they actually had to change one of their school board meetings from the school board to a gymnasium because so many people were pouring in because this was an issue that they cared about.
00:08:23.460You can see these rallies happening in Ottawa and London, in different parts, in Calgary, where people of all different faith or non-faith communities are coming together,
00:08:32.440and they're growing bigger and bigger and bigger.
00:08:34.580And the more, it's similar to the COVID issue, I feel like, because the more that Trudeau tries to make an enemy of Canadians like he did with the COVID issue,
00:08:42.380like you're a fringe minority when that's clearly not the case, the more people are going to rise up.
00:08:46.560So in a sense, the more, you know, these teachers in Edmonton say, your ideology doesn't, you don't belong in Canada to these Muslim students,
00:08:54.500or Trudeau says, oh, this is a far right Americanization of the issue, the more people are going to stand up, and I'm glad to see it.
00:09:02.280Yeah, and I just, I mean, when you have like, let's say a Catholic and a Calvinist and a Wesleyan Armenian in a room,
00:09:09.800they can all find no shortage of things to yell at each other about and disagree about, but when you talk about sort of core values issues and core moral issues,
00:09:18.440they're all going to be in agreement on 99.9% of things, same as if you extend the room and throw a Sikh in there and a Hindu guy and a Muslim and a Jew.
00:09:27.660And again, they can disagree with lots on Indian politics, on Middle Eastern politics, but on these core values and moral issues, they'll agree on things.
00:09:34.860And that divide and conquer thing that we see from the media and from the government is such an important tool to take note of here,
00:09:42.160because any time abortion, for example, comes up in an election, the media and Justin Trudeau's team will all make it seem like there is a much broader consensus around their side on this
00:09:54.580than actually exists in Canadian society. Even if people in Canada will disagree on, well, you know, rape and incest or third trimester, second.
00:10:03.960I mean, the majority of Canadians is on a different side than the liberal government is on this.
00:10:11.380Yeah. And, you know, to use Trudeau's words, it's often the fringe minority that have the views of Trudeau, like less than 10% of Canadians,
00:10:20.500you know, 18% of Canadians want, you know, don't want children to be able to secretly socially transition.
00:10:26.280What I find interesting about this whole situation is that, you know, the LGBT community originally started to say, you know, we, we want equality,
00:10:35.900we just want to be treated like everyone else and be left alone. And it's now become, you know, in Toronto,
00:10:41.580they want to force kids to go to drag queen story hour in their schools without being able to opt out.
00:10:48.180So now it's become, you have to do this and there's no way out. And ultimately what the other side is saying is we just want to raise our kids.
00:10:56.120We just want them to go to the school and be left alone. We don't want different views being pushed down our throat.
00:11:01.320Like for example, what happened in Regina with Planned Parenthood, they get into the schools, they do their presentation on God knows what.
00:11:09.280And then a 14 year old leaves with a stack of cards, which has the ABC alphabet of sexuality.
00:11:16.320And some of the terms are about urinating and defecating on your partner and being sexually attracted to a television without, this isn't even a joke.
00:11:24.520This is teaching kids about these really weird kinks that are, that Planned Parenthood say are legitimate.
00:11:32.320So ultimately as parents, as Canadians, we just want to send our kids to school.
00:11:37.560We want to be able to have the freedom to teach them whatever we want to teach them when it comes to our faith.
00:11:43.560And we don't want things being shoved down our throat.
00:11:45.380And I think that's, they're pushing the envelope way too far by targeting kids and, and refraining from being able to opt out.
00:11:52.080And that's why you're seeing this backlash right now.
00:11:54.700Very well said right now, co-founder Alyssa Gallobe.
00:11:57.960Always good to talk to you, Alyssa. Thanks for coming on today.
