00:00:00.000 Sometimes the Laurentian elite will make it very clear to you, they'll spell it out exactly how
00:00:05.600 they want you to read something. And you know, you can't wave the Canadian flag unless you hold
00:00:10.700 the correct political opinions. You're anti-government, anti-science, and anti-democracy
00:00:15.700 if you support the trucker convoy. And lastly, there are limits on your freedom that you have
00:00:19.980 to accept. That's exactly what they want you to know. And like I said, sometimes they just make
00:00:24.160 it easy for you. Well, they're kind of saying the quiet part out loud, right? Like, here's the idea
00:00:29.200 that Canada was always based on this notion of individual freedom. That was the founding
00:00:34.980 principle of our country. We have, you know, Wilfrid Laurier famously said that Canada is free
00:00:40.760 and freedom is our nationality. We're not a country that is based upon one ethnic group. We're not a
00:00:46.240 country that's ever been homogenous in terms of our ethnicity. But we are a country that has always
00:00:50.520 rallied around this concept of freedom. Well, interestingly, Harrison, over the last couple
00:00:55.700 of years, the liberals have sort of abandoned these uniting principles and united symbols
00:01:01.280 that we've had that they used to take claim over, right? They used to like the Canadian flag,
00:01:05.640 this concept of the chart of rights and freedoms, smaller liberalism, those used to be the brand
00:01:10.720 of the liberal party. And as the left is becoming more and more illiberal, as liberals start to feel
00:01:16.380 ashamed and embarrassed of Canada's history, and they want to get away from that, they're embarrassed
00:01:20.960 about it, they want to fight against it. We had Carolyn Bennett talking about how Canada needs to
00:01:26.640 decolonize, whatever that means, right? They're deeply ashamed of Canada. And you see it coming out
00:01:32.060 that they don't, you can no longer celebrate freedom, that's bad. Having individual rights and freedoms,
00:01:37.100 that's not what we want. We have higher priorities now, like climate change and COVID. And then, you know,
00:01:44.480 the Canadian flag, again, it was liberals that created the Canadian flag, we used to have the red ensign,
00:01:49.620 we used to have a British flag. And they put together this new flag that represented new Canada in the
00:01:55.100 60s. And now, you know, as soon as conservatives rally around it and use it as a rallying point
00:02:00.680 for freedom, they no longer want anything to do with it.
