00:00:00.000 Now, unless you were living under a rock last year, Canada bashing radical activists wanted to convince all of us that because of discoveries of unmarked graves, so-called discoveries, we'll get into that later, because of those discoveries, we had to cancel Canada Day.
00:00:14.920 We were unable to celebrate this great country, and we must all repent for the sins of generations past, sins that none of us committed.
00:00:22.740 Now, that is what the left wanted of last year, and I think they got the message from most of us that we weren't interested in playing that game.
00:00:30.480 Now, if you go on social media, you will find a lot of quick little hashtag messages, people trying to push the message to cancel Canada Day for us to all feel bad about this wonderful country.
00:00:39.960 So you'll see a lot of hashtag cancel Canada Day, you'll see a lot of hashtag no pride in genocide, and one of my favorites, the one that cracks me up every time I see it, is hashtag cancel KKK Canada Day.
00:00:53.860 Now, that one really gets me, because as we all know, we have a real problem in this country of those pesky KKK members roaming our Canadian streets.
00:01:00.580 Now, this time of year, Canadians have become accustomed to bad takes from radicals and low-IQ activists. 0.97
00:01:08.520 Now, that's become sort of the standard operating procedure for most Canadians.
00:01:12.820 We just have to endure these horrible takes and Canada bashing moments just for a few days, and then we all move on and we come back to our senses that we're living in, frankly, the best country in the world.
00:01:22.480 Okay, so we start with this TikTok here from an account called Tia Mishik.
00:01:28.040 Hey, come celebrate Canada Day with us.
00:01:30.720 Seems reasonable.
00:01:32.480 Oh.
00:01:33.660 A little ray of sunshine there.
00:01:38.520 So they're really trying to play with your emotions there, right?
00:01:49.180 They're using that sad emotional music and overlaying photos of the residential school system and showing that woman crying.
00:01:55.820 Now, of course, at the very end, they ask, what is there to celebrate?
00:01:59.640 And I, for one, can think of thousands of reasons to celebrate this country.
00:02:03.920 But what you're going to see today, tomorrow, and for several weeks in the future are people constantly looking for reasons to hate this country.
00:02:11.360 Constantly neglecting what this country does for the rest of the world and for its own citizens.
00:02:16.640 The fact that thousands of people would give an arm and a leg to come to this country to raise their family in this country.
00:02:22.500 And the fact that our country has shed blood for the world's freedoms.
00:02:26.980 Alright, so this next TikTok comes from a user named Cannibal Chad.
00:02:34.080 Hey everybody, Canada Day is coming.
00:02:35.980 You know what that means.
00:02:37.180 Oh.
00:02:38.220 Look at that shirt.
00:02:39.000 He's got a nice little satanic Church of Satan shirt going on.
00:02:43.480 Some nice satanic symbolism.
00:02:45.360 Very nice.
00:02:45.900 Wow, how deep.
00:02:58.660 How powerful.
00:02:59.860 Now, if I were an activist and I were looking for spokesmen for my cause, I mean, this is the kind of person that I would want representing my movement.
00:03:08.400 I mean, what more could you ask for?
00:03:09.760 You've got the nose ring.
00:03:11.360 You've got the long hair.
00:03:13.060 You've got the satanic sweater.
00:03:14.720 That's always a good sign.
00:03:16.580 And you've got the good username of Cannibal Chad Official.
00:03:20.420 Well, I'm thinking of important moments in civil rights history, in activism, social justice.
00:03:27.000 I can think of Martin Luther King's speech.
00:03:30.040 And I can also think of Cannibal Chad's important TikTok video to tell us that every child matters.
00:03:36.180 And to rip off his satanic shirt to reveal underneath it, what's really underneath that sweater of his is the every child matters orange shirt. 0.66
00:03:44.100 Perfect activism, guys.
00:03:45.600 Awesome stuff.
00:03:46.440 All right, let's get into our third Cancel Canada Day TikTok video reaction.
00:03:50.540 This one comes from Bodine2YoungMen.
00:03:53.840 That's the name of this account.
00:03:55.300 10,028, in brackets and counting, unmarked graves found at residential schools across the country.
00:04:10.180 And you're still going to celebrate Canada Day?
00:04:12.260 Well, first off, yes, I am going to still celebrate Canada Day.
00:04:15.220 Thank you for asking.
00:04:15.980 And secondly, 10,000 unmarked graves discovered and counting?
00:04:21.480 No, no, that's not accurate, Mr. Bodine2YoungMen.
00:04:25.260 Now, those numbers last summer were announced after ground-penetrating radar surveyed the grounds of former residential schools.
00:04:32.940 Ground-penetrating radar results look like this.
00:04:35.640 When you get ground-penetrating radar, you don't get anything confirmed.
00:04:39.120 You simply get disturbances in the soil, which could be anything.
00:04:42.340 And many communities actually said that these were community burial sites, former graveyards, marked with wooden crosses that have over time degraded.
00:04:50.700 Now, when you go out and say 10,000 unmarked graves were found in Canada, that's a lie.
00:04:56.400 You can't just say that and then use that as a reason to then cancel Canada Day, to bash this country.
00:05:02.820 Come with the facts.
00:05:12.340 Come with the facts.
