Juno News - The True North Report： The Trudeau government signed the UN Global Compact on Migration.

00:00:00.640 Hey guys, we are live. My name is Candice Malcolm with the True North Initiative. Thank

00:00:05.320 you so much for watching this Tuesday afternoon or evening, depending on where in the world

00:00:11.040 you are. There's a lot going on in the news today, as typical as usual, I guess, but you

00:00:16.400 know, it's December, you expect things to slow down a bit for Christmas, but not for

00:00:20.160 us. There is a lot of chatter and a lot of talk right now about the situation in Alberta,

00:00:26.360 this sort of new political realization or just, you know, this frustration that's bursting

00:00:33.660 at the seams. And it's like everywhere you look, you hear respectable people talking about

00:00:39.220 separation. Lawrence Solomon had a really solid piece in the National Post over the weekend,

00:00:45.120 talking about the economic argument behind Western separatism or Alberta separatism. Daniel

00:00:51.740 Smith and Brett Wilson had a really interesting conversation on the radio in Calgary about the

00:00:57.300 topic and going back to 1905 and discussions at the time of creating an independent republic

00:01:04.020 of Alberta and Saskatchewan that would be called Buffalo. And, you know, more and more places

00:01:10.740 that you look, you hear people talking about this. It's quite something, you know, it's almost

00:01:15.220 like no one wants to break apart Canada. And the subject was taboo for so long, you would

00:01:20.560 never hear, you know, mainstream respected people in the business community, writers,

00:01:25.820 politicians talking about this stuff. And suddenly here it is out in the open. And I think it's

00:01:29.360 just so much frustration over Eastern Canada, Western Central Canada, the attitude out of Quebec.

00:01:37.860 We learned that Alberta will not qualify for equalization payments this year, despite constantly paying

00:01:42.820 in, you know, they're in the middle of an economic crisis and recession. And yet, Quebec is still

00:01:48.580 receiving money, they're going to get about $1.5 billion this year. Alberta is not going to get

00:01:52.720 anything. And, you know, to add insult to injury, Quebec's premier said that there's no social

00:01:59.260 appetite for Alberta oil in Quebec, and that they don't want any of it, they don't want anything to do

00:02:03.340 with it. You know, Quebec is okay with importing blood oil from Saudi Arabia, they're okay with using oil,

00:02:09.940 they're okay with having refineries, they just don't want anything to do with Canadian oil, which is

00:02:14.660 quite the slap in the face, considering that Quebec takes, has taken over $200 billion from

00:02:21.380 equalization. So they're more than happy to spend money from oil, they're more than happy to spend

00:02:27.060 the money on social services that are above and beyond what any other Canadian gets, based on oil

00:02:33.300 revenues that get transferred mostly from Western Canada and Alberta to Quebec, but they don't want the

00:02:38.340 pipelines. And so, you know, someone's got to give it on top of that. You've got Justin Trudeau,

00:02:43.540 who openly talks about wanting to phase out the Canadian oil industry. He's helped landlock Alberta,

00:02:51.060 he's given them new options. And, you know, yeah, it's interesting times in Alberta. And I have a call

00:03:00.020 myself out in the Toronto Sun today, I tweeted that link out, I'll share it as well. And, yeah, talking just

00:03:07.700 about the frustration in Alberta, and this sort of back and forth is going on, that's not what I want

00:03:11.940 to talk about today. Just wanted to talk about that issue right off the bat, the main thing that's

00:03:16.900 happening in the world, I think, well, there's a couple of other things, you know, Omar Khadr,

00:03:21.620 as you might have seen, is now applying for a travel permit, he wants to go to Saudi Arabia to visit his

00:03:26.340 crazy terrorist family. You know, this is a guy that got $1.5 million from the Canadian government.

00:03:32.340 And part of the reason he was set free, and he was given this apology, and all this stuff, was that he swore

00:03:36.900 he was nothing like his family, who were all terrorists. Remember, his father was the top

00:03:41.620 ranking Al-Qaeda official that helped bankroll Sama bin Laden and 9-11. And, you know, the whole

00:03:47.780 family was basically brainwashed into this terrorist lifestyle. Well, Khadr promised that he was totally

00:03:54.340 different and wanted nothing to do with his family. And now he's saying that he wants to go to Saudi

00:03:59.460 Arabia to visit them. So that's pretty terrifying. And knowing Canada and knowing our bleeding heart system,

00:04:05.220 he'll probably be able to go with his fresh new payment of $1.5 million in his bank account,

00:04:11.860 what could possibly go wrong? Also, not what I wanted to talk about today, the main thing I want

00:04:16.900 to talk about is that this UN migrant compact is now signed. It is now a thing. Canada has signed it.

00:04:25.780 And I want to talk about, I know I've been doing a lot, I've been focusing a lot on this topic,

00:04:30.980 but I think there's still just, you know, issues that are not clear. I've noticed just tons of

00:04:37.940 criticism in the media towards myself, towards anyone who's taken a very public position against

00:04:43.620 this. Conservative leader in Canada, Andrew Scheer, said that the Conservatives opposed this idea,

00:04:49.940 and they opposed UN compact. And one of the reasons was because it would undermine Canadian

00:04:54.660 sovereignty. And when he made that argument, the liberals and the media just lost their minds and

00:05:00.820 started calling them a liar, saying that this was a myth that was pushed by the far right in Europe and

00:05:07.380 the alt-right in the United States. Alt-right is another term for white supremacist, racist, neo-Nazis.

00:05:16.980 So that's nice getting called alt-right by, you know, the liberal party itself. It couldn't be further

00:05:23.460 from the truth. So I wanted to talk exactly about how this compact undermines Canadian sovereignty.

00:05:30.980 And then one of the other criticisms that I've had, I've made a claim that the compact blurs the

00:05:35.940 distinction between a migrant and a refugee. In fact, that's what the entire point of this document

00:05:41.700 is. If you read it, that's what it's doing. It's trying to blur the lines, trying to create

00:05:46.020 a new class for migrants that basically mirrors the class that we have for refugees. So I'm going

00:05:52.260 to go over those two things and I'm going to explain exactly how this undermines our sovereignty and

00:05:57.140 exactly how this blurs the distinction between refugees and migrants. Okay. So in the preamble itself,

00:06:06.100 the preamble of this global compact, which was signed today, it was signed today. Let me note that

00:06:12.740 a lot of countries didn't sign it. Initially, a lot of the media reports were saying that only the

00:06:17.620 U.S. was not going to sign it. When they first wrote this thing in July, the U.S. was the only

00:06:22.180 country that didn't want any part of it right from the get go. They said no. So a lot of the media

00:06:26.900 stories in Canada were just sort of echoing that without doing any update research on the conversations

00:06:33.460 that have been happening around the world over the last six months or five months. And so they said,

00:06:38.100 oh, it's only the U.S. that's not signing this. It's not true. Scores of countries all over Europe,

00:06:44.100 Australia, New Zealand, Israel, you know, we're not only talking about countries that are supposedly

00:06:50.020 run by right-wing populist governments. Switzerland's not signing it. Denmark had concerns about signing

00:06:56.020 it. You know, New Zealand, Australia, we're not just talking about countries that are run by so-called

00:07:02.020 far-right strongmen. You know, there was a pretty broad consensus around the Western world that countries

00:07:06.980 didn't want to sign this. And then it was interesting. After I started pointing this out,

00:07:10.020 another started pointing this out, I saw another media story and said, oh, well, 85% of countries

00:07:15.380 in the world are signing this UN compact. It's like, who cares what 85% of countries, you know,

00:07:20.820 there's 160 somewhat countries in the UN. Most of them were just horrible garbage dictatorships

00:07:26.740 that have nothing to do with Canada. So why would I care whether those countries are signing the

00:07:30.900 compact? I want to know whether other Western countries, other democracies, other liberal democracies,

00:07:36.180 like Canada are signing it. And when you look into that, you realize, you know, a lot of Canada's

00:07:40.980 closest allies and most similar countries to us, like the United States, like Australia, those are

00:07:45.940 the people who pulled out. So anyways, let's get to the content here. So in, this is the compact here.

00:07:53.140 And in the preamble, this is a point that I raised over and over again. Number four. So, you know,

00:07:59.540 these are the, this is the stated purpose of this declaration of this whole compact. And right here,

00:08:07.220 it says, refugees and migrants are entitled to the same universal human rights and fundamental

00:08:13.140 freedoms, which must be respected, protected and fulfilled at all times. And so that's why I said,

00:08:19.060 you know, this document seeks to make migration a basic universal human right. And that's why it's

00:08:25.460 problematic. Someone criticized me, someone writing in the national post criticized me because the very

00:08:29.700 next line in the compact says, however, migrants and refugees are distinct groups governed by separate

00:08:35.220 legal frameworks. Only refugees are entitled to the specific international protection as defined by

00:08:41.140 international refugee law. So they were saying like, oh, you know, Candace was just talking about

00:08:45.780 how migrants and refugees have the same fundamental human rights. And she didn't include this part that

00:08:51.060 says, hey, there's two separate categories. So there's a category called refugees, and they have

00:08:55.700 their own set of laws that govern how they work and how countries have to treat them. And then there's

00:09:00.340 migrants and they have a separate framework saying that I didn't include that. Okay, well, let's go to the

00:09:05.140 next line after that. So the very next line says, this global compact refers to migrants and presents a

00:09:12.660 cooperative framework addressing migration in all its dimensions. Did you get that? So the whole point of

00:09:19.300 this UN compact is to create a new framework that governs migrants, that governs migrants. So we

00:09:25.380 already have a framework that governs how countries have to treat refugees, and I'll get to that later

00:09:30.420 in this talk. But this compact has to do with creating a new framework for how we treat migrants. And

00:09:37.940 then if you go through the actual objectives that they have, they have their 23 objectives that are here.

00:09:45.940 And then each one has like a long detailed explanation of what it does. If you read those objectives and

00:09:53.620 what they're doing, they're basically enshrining the same framework that we already have for refugees,

00:10:00.500 and applying that to migrants. So a lot of the exceptions to the rules that we have for refugees,

00:10:07.700 they're trying to make that framework for migrants. Okay, so that's the whole thing like, right now,

00:10:14.580 and this is how this is how this is how this new compact undermines Canadian sovereignty. So

00:10:20.180 right now, Canada sets its own immigration rules, it sets its own immigration rules, I've worked in the

00:10:24.660 immigration department, we have our own plan that we write every single year, Canada writes out a plan,

00:10:30.260 they table it before Parliament, it's based on, you know, all these widespread consultations,

00:10:35.140 and Canada decides, the Canadian government decides, this is how many people are going to enter Canada

00:10:40.260 this year, this is how many are going to enter next year, the following year, and then they keep

00:10:44.580 track of how many people left before. So there are three types of categories for immigration,

00:10:50.340 there's the economic class, there's family reunification class, and then there are refugees.

00:10:56.100 And so economic classes, if you get a job in Canada, you get a visa, you get to bring your entire

00:11:01.860 families. So say, you know, a dad of a family gets a job working in Canada, he gets a visa for himself,

00:11:08.340 a visa for his wife and his three kids, those are five visas, those are all under the economic class.

00:11:13.460 We have a separate class as family reunification for extended family, or that's for Canadians who

00:11:18.260 marry someone who is foreign, and then they can sponsor them to come into Canada. The third class is

00:11:23.460 our refugee class, which is, there's two different categories within that. So there's the government

00:11:28.900 sponsored programs, where we work with the United Nations, and get referred refugees and bring those

00:11:33.060 over through the government. And then we also have our private program, so you can privately sponsor

00:11:37.540 refugees through your church, through a charity, or through any individual group, they come together,

00:11:42.980 and you bring the refugee in. So that's, that's our legal framework, that's how you can legally come to

00:11:47.860 Canada. But then, because we have a special framework for refugees, refugees don't have to follow that

00:11:55.780 guideline necessarily. If you are a refugee, and there's a couple of UN trees that outline this,

00:12:00.740 there's a 1951 Refugee Convention, and then there's a 1967 protocol relating to the status of refugees.

00:12:09.300 So those are two different international agreements that we've signed in the past, that say refugees get

00:12:15.700 to be treated separately. Essentially, refugees don't have to follow a country's immigration rules. Like,

00:12:22.340 if you, if you are a refugee, you want to come to Canada, you don't have to apply and come legally

00:12:27.300 through one of those two, one of those three streams. There's literally, there's the, there's,

00:12:33.860 there's a law that allows you, so say you're a refugee, all you have to do is step foot on Canadian soil,

00:12:40.340 throw your hands in the air, present yourself to a Canadian agent, a Canadian official at an airport,

00:12:46.820 or at a port of entry, or at any immigration office where there's a Canadian federal immigration

00:12:51.780 official. And you just put your hands in the air and say, I'm a refugee. And then, because Canada's

00:12:57.300 signed on to these treaties, because we've ratified these treaties in 1951, the 1967 one, we, Canadians,

00:13:04.100 don't have a say as to whether this person gets to stay in our country or not. We have to treat their

00:13:09.460 case as if it's real. So that's how refugees already have a legal exception to our immigration rules.

00:13:15.540 As long as they say they're a refugee, we have to treat their case as if there's merit to it. So

00:13:21.220 then they apply, they get to put forth their application, they get to appear before judges,

00:13:27.060 they get all kinds of rights. They basically, the entire Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

00:13:31.780 applies to that person, because they say that they are a refugee. And now the judge could find that,

00:13:37.860 hey, this person's lying, hey, this person is not an actual refugee, they're not who they say they are,

00:13:44.020 and we can reject their case, at which point we can try to deport them. But basically, if as long

00:13:50.500 as you say you're a refugee, you can break Canadian law, not only break our immigration law by applying

00:13:56.100 outside that legal system that I explained, but also, you know, we overlook the fact that you might have

00:14:01.460 crossed the border illegally to get into Canada, you might have used a fake or falsified passport to get

00:14:07.540 into Canada, we kind of look the other way and say it's okay that you broke the law, because you are

00:14:13.620 here and you're claiming to be a refugee, we have to treat you like a refugee. Oh, and also because

00:14:18.420 it's Canada, they get access to all kinds of gold plated welfare, they get welfare, and specifically

00:14:23.540 health care programs above and beyond what Canadians receive. And so this is this is already a way in which

00:14:32.500 the UN has undermined Canadian sovereignty, because Canada doesn't get to say, wait a minute, you're

00:14:38.660 not a refugee, like get out of here. No, you don't get to stay, we don't get to say like, oh, wait a minute,

00:14:43.860 you know, there's all these red flags on your file, you have to go. No, we have to treat these people

00:14:50.340 as if their case is legitimate. And so that undermines our sovereignty, that undermines our ability to set

00:14:56.180 our own immigration system. Now, what this UN and that's existing, that's thanks to those old treaties.

00:15:02.660 And when I worked in government, it was a frustration, because, you know, a lot of times you have people

00:15:09.060 who come to Canada that are clearly not refugees. I'll give you an example. When I was working in

00:15:13.780 government in 2012, the number one source country of people filing asylum claims. If you had to guess,

00:15:22.020 what would you, what would you guess? You'd probably guess maybe it would be Mexico or China,

00:15:27.460 some country that has like a really brutal human rights record, right? You know, the number one

00:15:31.380 source country of people coming to Canada and filing asylum claims at the time was Romania,

00:15:37.300 a European country. And so, you know, there's just obvious scams, there's obvious, obvious,

00:15:43.540 you know, human smuggling rings and groups of people who take advantage of Canada's generosity and

00:15:48.260 or signing of these previous UN declarations. And so the point is that this new one, this 2018

00:15:56.740 migrant compact, seeks to create that same kind of framework and apply it to all migrants. So not

00:16:03.060 people who fit a very specific legal definition of a refugee, which is someone who is fleeing war,

00:16:08.580 or who faces a well found persecution, a well found fear of persecution from the government based on their

00:16:15.220 race or their religion or their creed. So instead of refuge, instead of only a small group of people

00:16:21.700 getting these exceptions and getting this special treatment from the government, well, they want to

00:16:26.580 apply those same exceptions and the same rules and the same entitlements to everyone, essentially. And that's

00:16:34.580 what the document itself lays out when those 23 objectives that you know, it talks about, yeah, sure,

00:16:41.540 some of the stuff is not terrible. It talks about how we should track, you know, do a better job of

00:16:47.460 tracking, you know, with census data, to see how these migrants are doing in the future. We should make

00:16:54.420 sure that everyone has legal identification, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, there's some stuff in here that's not

00:16:59.860 completely terrible. But, you know, if you look at the outline of what it's talking about, the various steps

00:17:06.580 and pathways and, you know, entitlements and making sure that they have access to the same things and

00:17:12.180 that they get to sponsor their family members over the same way, it's taking all the tenants of the

00:17:17.380 special status that we give to refugees, where we allow them to break our law, and trying to apply that

00:17:22.820 to a broad group of people, which basically just says, okay, it's no longer just a small group of

00:17:28.500 people who claim to be refugees, who get to have an exception to Canadian law, and they operate outside. So

00:17:34.820 every year when Canada tables this immigration plan saying, we're going to let in 330,000 people

00:17:40.020 into the country this year, these asylum seekers don't count in those numbers, they're separate.

00:17:44.580 And the Trudeau government repeats that to say, oh, you know, these asylum seekers aren't jumping the

00:17:49.620 queue, they're not coming to the front of the line, because no matter what, we're still going to welcome

00:17:53.940 in our 330, as we stated. But these people just come in addition. So, you know, it's still an additional

00:18:00.900 cost to taxpayers, it's still an additional burden on our agencies and our, you know, people who work

00:18:06.660 for refugees, not to mention, you know, the welfare state, and lack of housing, and health care, and

00:18:12.420 education, all this kind of stuff that is impacted. And so, you know, that's, that's, that's how this

00:18:20.260 framework could impact. And so then the argument they'll make is, oh, well, it's not binding, it's not

00:18:25.700 legally binding, it's not like a treaty that gets ratified, and then it becomes Canadian law.

00:18:30.740 Well, no, that's not true. But the whole idea behind having this international document that

00:18:34.980 Canada has signed, is that it will be used, and it will be referenced in Canadian courts.

00:18:40.820 So say, there is an individual who is a migrant, they're not a refugee, they're, they're just a

00:18:47.140 migrant, they're a person who came from, let's just take a country, Honduras, who wasn't necessarily

00:18:52.420 fleeing persecution or war, they just wanted a better economic outcome in Canada. And so they

00:18:59.380 get to follow the same guideline, say they apply for refugee status, and their case gets rejected,

00:19:04.980 well, they can appeal that. And in the appeals case, they can point to the UN migration compact

00:19:11.860 that shows how migrants get all the same access and special privileges and treatment and how, you know,

00:19:18.180 Canada has to take the case seriously, that the UN compact could be quoted, could be mentioned,

00:19:23.540 could be used in that court case, and the judge could rule in favour of letting this individual

00:19:28.260 stay in the country. So that will be a very specific example of how the UN document will be used to

00:19:33.460 undermine Canadian sovereignty, because the Canadian government is saying, we want this person out of

00:19:37.220 the country, they look to the UN document, they use that, a judge overturns it, and they get to stay in

00:19:43.140 our country against the will of the government against the will of the people. And you know,

00:19:47.380 it's so interesting, because, again, Andrew Scheer got called a far right racist, essentially,

00:19:53.860 for saying that this agreement undermines Canadian sovereignty. But that's basically the argument that

00:19:59.140 all the countries are pulling out have been making. This is from an Australian paper about Minister

00:20:05.460 Dutton, who's their Minister of Home Affairs, which is sort of the equivalent of the Minister of Public

00:20:11.220 Safety in Canada, or the Department of Homeland Security in the US. And here it says, Dutton says,

00:20:17.460 Australia won't surrender our sovereignty by signing the United Nations deal. And interestingly, I mean,

00:20:25.860 you know, they were making this argument back in July, that that story came out in July. So as soon as

00:20:32.500 this document surfaced, the Australian government was like, absolutely no way. And yet in Canada, we didn't

00:20:38.500 even really start to have this conversation until like a few weeks ago. I mean, I know that there was

00:20:42.340 a petition going around, and Maxime Bernier, the People's Party had been the sponsor. I think I first

00:20:49.300 saw that about a month ago, but Canada really didn't have a full discussion. We didn't have a public debate

00:20:54.420 on this, like they were having in other countries. And I think that's such a disservice. As soon as we start

00:21:00.180 to raise the issue, myself, a couple of other columnists in the country, and then politicians,

00:21:05.620 you had Michelle Rumpel, Maxime Bernier, and Andrew Scheer, three kind of heavyweights, all

00:21:11.060 criticizing this agreement. And they were completely written off, like all the media stories that I saw,

00:21:16.180 all the headlines across the spectrum, if there is even a spectrum in Canadian media. But you know,

00:21:21.700 you had Toronto Star, Globe and Mail, National Post, iPolitics, CTV, Global, all of them repeating the

00:21:31.220 exact same thing. Experts say this is not binding. Experts say this won't undermine Canadian sovereignty.

00:21:37.700 Experts say this won't blur the line between migrants and refugees. It's like, we're not allowed

00:21:42.660 to have a discussion about it. They just tell us what our opinion has to be. And they expect us to move

00:21:47.940 on. And then you get the bullying and the name calling from Trudeau's sort of top inner circle,

00:21:53.060 the immigration minister himself, Trudeau's top aide, Gerald Butts. And Trudeau himself saying that,

00:21:59.860 you know, if you oppose this, you're just peddling conspiracy theories. Basically, he said

00:22:03.940 that Scheer was taking his talking points from rebel media. Well, actually, rebel media has done a pretty

00:22:10.180 good job of covering this. Ezra Levant did a whole hour last week where he went point by point through the

00:22:17.220 document and discussed his concerns with each one. Ezra's a lawyer, he understands these documents,

00:22:23.780 and he really spelt it out. And I think that the points that he raised individually going through

00:22:28.980 the text talks to the same kind of thing that I am, that the document is written to provide all of

00:22:35.700 these special treatment, all the special privileges for migrants, not refugees, but for migrants. And

00:22:41.220 that's the concern. It's such a shame in Canada that we did not get to have a public debate about

00:22:48.180 this. We didn't have a conversation. We weren't really consulted. It was just kind of like,

00:22:52.100 hey, this is happening. Canada is so excited about it. Look at this leadership role we're playing.

00:22:58.420 And then anyone who disagrees is written off as a racist or a far right figure. And I think that's

00:23:06.660 sad. I think it shows that, you know, the situation in Canada was we don't really have the ability to

00:23:13.460 have a public debate. We're not allowed to have intellectual conversations. We're not allowed to

00:23:18.180 debate ideas without fear of just getting called all kinds of horrible names by the top-ranking people

00:23:25.060 in the country, either through the media or in politics. You know, if you are critical of this,

00:23:31.060 like I was, you get your name, you know, smeared in the press. If you're Andrew Scheer, the leader of

00:23:36.740 a political party, you know, he's been hearing from Canadians all over the country with their concerns

00:23:41.540 about this. He voices his concern. And he gets called, you know, far right, alt right, yada, yada,

00:23:48.260 yada, all the stuff that they always throw at you if you have any criticism of their dogma on

00:23:56.740 immigration and diversity and multiculturalism. And so another thing I want to point out,

00:24:02.420 which was interesting, so New Zealand, I'm not actually sure if New Zealand signed this document

00:24:07.460 or not. The most recent thing that I saw was just reading like New Zealand newspapers from yesterday

00:24:14.900 and today, and it was like everything was still unsure that they're trying to delay their vote

00:24:19.860 and that they're not, they're not sure whether or not they're going to sign it. It's interesting,

00:24:24.500 again, you know, you look at the news down in New Zealand. This is from Radio NZ. The title says,

00:24:31.060 Sovereignty concerns Schroed NZ's bid to sign UN Migrant Pact. So, you know, exactly the same kind

00:24:38.340 of concerns about sovereignty, yet somehow if you say that in Canada, it's because you're just a horrible

00:24:43.780 person. But basically, the National Party in New Zealand opposed the compact, and this is what they

00:24:50.740 said. They said that we don't need to be told by the UN what to do, and that this pact treats illegal

00:24:58.340 and legal migrants the same. And so that's basically the point that I'm making is that

00:25:06.900 there's already a distinction carved out of our law to accommodate refugees, and this migration compact

00:25:13.700 seeks to carve out an even greater hole from our immigration system for illegal. People who come

00:25:21.620 to Canada crossing the border illegally at Roxham Road entering illegally, people who show up with

00:25:27.380 fake or falsified passports, and they just want to stay in Canada. Well, the global compact spells out

00:25:33.140 all these things that they get, all these extra rights and all these extra privileges. And as I've

00:25:37.620 noted before, you know, the entire compact and this entire conversation, the major problem, the reason

00:25:42.660 people hate this stuff, and they oppose it, is because it doesn't recognize the rights or the

00:25:48.500 sovereignty of the Canadian people. Everything in this document is about rights and privileges for

00:25:54.340 migrants. Well, what about the rights and the privileges of Canadian citizens? What about our culture,

00:26:00.660 our values? You know, what about our communities? What's this going to do if Canada sends a signal that,

00:26:06.500 hey, open illegal migration is now okay with us and there's like a framework to accommodate it? You

00:26:12.420 know, what's this going to do to our cities, to our roads, to already heavily congested morning commutes,

00:26:18.660 or public transit? What about schools? What about housing, hospitals? Like, why doesn't it even acknowledge

00:26:25.380 the problems that could exist? You know, and this isn't getting into any of the problems when it comes to

00:26:30.820 the Orwellian Objective 17, which I've gone into a lot in the past. You can check out some of my older

00:26:36.100 videos on that, which is about how it wants to create basically, it wants to sensitize and educate

00:26:44.500 journalists. It wants to promote media outlets that have positive things to say about migrants,

00:26:50.420 and then like cut off and exclude outlets that perpetuate intolerance. You know, forget about all

00:26:58.420 that creepy Orwellian language, which should disqualify the entire document to begin with,

00:27:03.300 even if we ignore the worst parts of it. And we look at the substance of this compact and what

00:27:08.260 it's supposed to be doing. Well, it's still, you know, incredibly terrible for Canada. And if you

00:27:16.020 live in New Zealand, you can say that. If you live in Australia, you get to have a four month public

00:27:20.340 debate about that and ultimately come to the conclusion that you don't want to sign this treaty.

00:27:25.700 And if you live in the United States, it's like the opposite. They, you know, the idea came up and

00:27:30.580 they said, no, nope. The United States does not let the United Nations set its immigration policies.

00:27:37.300 Immigration policies will be set by Congress. And that's sort of a bipartisan thing. You know,

00:27:42.580 Hillary Clinton, just as much as Donald Trump agreed with that. And so it's not even a discussion

00:27:47.860 whether or not they would join into this compact. Well, if you live in Canada, you don't, you don't,

00:27:52.740 you don't get to have a conversation without having your name smeared by elites. And then you

00:27:58.580 don't get to have any say and the government's just going to sign it and sign away, you know,

00:28:04.100 Canadian sovereignty, sign away our ability to kick people out of the country and say no to migrants

00:28:10.260 who we don't want in our country. And we don't get to have any kind of a public say on that. So

00:28:15.940 pretty, pretty disappointing. But I think that, you know, rather than name call and smear and come

00:28:23.380 up with this thing that if you don't like the United Nations compact, it's because you're a

00:28:27.300 conspiracy theorist, you're far right, you're alt right, or you're racist. Why don't you look at the

00:28:33.060 substance of the complaints that people are making and address them in an honest way? Why can't we have

00:28:38.020 an honest discussion and a debate in this country about our immigration system? And the fact that we can't

00:28:43.860 do that, the fact that we get met with such scorn and mockery from elites, I think that's part of

00:28:51.620 the reason why Canada's approval rating on immigration has never been lower, never been lower.

00:28:57.540 Only 6% of Canadians want more immigration. And that's exactly what the Trudeau government is

00:29:02.020 delivering. And so the more you tell people that they don't have, that they can't have an opinion

00:29:07.140 about something, and then you tell them that if they do have an opinion, it's because they're racist.

00:29:11.860 And then you turn around and you do exactly what the people don't want you to do. I mean,

00:29:16.420 this is the reason why you have backlash. This is the reason why you have populist movements. This is

00:29:20.740 the reason why there is anti-immigration sentiment across the Western world. It's because leaders

00:29:26.420 don't listen to people. They don't let us have a conversation. They just talk down to us and sneer at us

00:29:32.260 and then do whatever the hell they want anyway. And I think that that's a recipe for disaster.

00:29:36.900 And if there ever becomes a big anti-migrant populist movement in Canada, Trudeau will have

00:29:43.860 no one to blame but himself. It will be Trudeau's fault because Canadians by and large accept immigration.

00:29:51.620 We understand that it's good for the economy, that it's good for, you know, basically the welfare state

00:29:58.660 to help reverse the massive, massive hole that reckless governments of the past have created

00:30:06.420 through unfunded liabilities. And we get that and we say, okay, we'll let in immigration. We know that

00:30:11.220 you know, all of our ancestors at some point migrated to Canada. And so Canadians are pretty

00:30:16.100 open towards it compared to other similar countries compared to if you look at public opinion in Australia,

00:30:21.780 or the UK, or the US. Canada always had higher approval ratings. Well, that's plummeted. It's

00:30:28.500 absolutely plummeted. Like I said, it's the lowest point since public opinion polls started happening

00:30:33.940 in the country. And I really think that that's because of this attitude that persists among elites,

00:30:40.020 among the Trudeau Liberals, among the media, this sort of consensus of elites that these people have,

00:30:46.500 that you're not allowed to have an opinion on immigration and we're going to do whatever the

00:30:49.780 hell we want, regardless of what the people think. And again, you know, if there is a backlash,

00:30:55.540 it will be 100% because of Justin Trudeau and his policies. So I'm going to leave it at that today.

00:31:01.460 Guys, thanks so much for tuning in. I encourage you to check out the Trinorth Initiative. We've

00:31:06.580 focused on immigration news. We've always got lots of content. We're putting in a new video

00:31:10.820 every single day. So check that out. And if you like the work we do, if you want to support us,

00:31:15.460 please consider joining one of the clubs. You can join for as little as $10 a month,

00:31:19.700 you help support our entire operation, independent journalism in Canada, which is incredibly rare.

00:31:26.980 And we've got a whole bunch of new things that we're going to announce in 2019,

00:31:32.100 broadening the operation, doing more reports, bringing on more journalists, doing more videos.

00:31:37.140 And I think it's a good cause because, you know, Canada needs the other side of the story. We need

00:31:42.020 the other side to be told that's not being told in the mainstream media. So check that out,

00:31:46.500 trinorthinitiative.com. All right, everyone have a great evening.
