In this episode, I talk about Doug Ford's response to protesters heckling him in Queen's Park, and why we should be proud of him for taking on the social justice warriors. I also talk about how the SJW's are losing their influence in the media, and how they don't like it.

00:00:00.000 Last week, I saw a news story headline that blared,
00:00:08.280 Doug Ford in fundraising letter denounces students for crazy Marxist nonsense.
00:00:15.460 And I paused, and I thought, what's the problem here?
00:00:20.440 Is this a celebratory headline?
00:00:22.420 Because it sounds like he's kind of right, I guess I'll applaud it.
00:00:25.460 Or is this something we're supposed to be outraged about?
00:00:27.840 It's supposed to spur protests.
00:00:30.540 I don't know, but the latter certainly happened,
00:00:32.960 and the crazy Marxist nonsense has continued in recent weeks at Queen's Park
00:00:37.700 as Doug Ford and the Ontario PCs look to rearrange some of the different funding mechanisms,
00:00:42.960 the very generous funding mechanisms that already exist for students all across Ontario.
00:00:47.880 Well, the war of words has continued.
00:00:52.060 Students are standing up in the Queen's Park gallery, and they're saying wild things.
00:00:56.080 They're swearing at him.
00:00:57.660 One young woman called him a crazy F-word cracker, a rather pejorative term with a racial slant
00:01:04.640 that really just should not be used in the gallery at Queen's Park.
00:01:08.240 And more importantly, a politician shouldn't have to take it.
00:01:12.680 And guess what?
00:01:13.800 Doug Ford is not taking it.
00:01:16.260 He's been saying,
00:01:17.020 After another episode where they got up and hurled abuse at him and demanded free tuition,
00:01:32.360 Doug Ford responded, yelling up at them,
00:01:34.100 Here's an example of indoctrination, what we just saw up there.
00:01:38.740 Then he sat down at this chair, and he, I guess, sort of said loudly,
00:01:42.240 They're going to be good socialists.
00:01:44.460 And you've got to get a chuckle to all of this.
00:01:46.700 I think we're supposed to perhaps be outraged about it.
00:01:49.640 I don't know.
00:01:50.240 But a very interesting thing is happening right now.
00:01:54.300 The social justice warriors are finding they no longer have momentum on their side.
00:02:00.200 They're no longer getting a free pass.
00:02:02.740 They're no longer framing the debate.
00:02:05.700 For the longest time, all these guys needed to do was make a scene,
00:02:09.660 and then they would get press, and they'd get headlines,
00:02:11.980 and people would generally let them do it unimpeded.
00:02:14.020 There would be the notion that this was kind of normal,
00:02:17.240 that this was sort of a legitimate side of the coin,
00:02:20.600 a side of the debate,
00:02:21.860 and not, well, crazy Marxist nonsense,
00:02:24.460 as Doug Ford points it out to be.
00:02:26.880 And they're losing that influence.
00:02:28.680 They're losing that sort of dominance in the media sphere.
00:02:32.400 They're getting it taken away from them.
00:02:34.180 And they don't like it one bit.
00:02:37.300 Well, tough.
00:02:38.060 Good for Doug Ford hitting back.
00:02:39.820 It's been a long time coming.
00:02:44.020 Good for Doug Ford.
