00:00:00.040 it's quite possible that you are unaware of the fact that governments at all levels in this
00:00:11.120 country including the legacy media with the CBC leading the charge as per usual have been
00:00:16.360 aggressively promoting and even funding drag shows for kids disguised as drag queen story hours now
00:00:22.920 if that sounds like something you might object to just wait there's an even newer phenomenon that
00:00:27.200 appears to be exclusively Canadian at this point and that is a concerted political effort to
00:00:32.360 criminalize anyone who protests these drag shows for kids to be clear they're trying to make it
00:00:38.760 illegal for you a Canadian citizen to protest a drag queen story hour which is nothing more than a man 0.98
00:00:45.720 wearing a woman's costume dancing in front of children they want to make that illegal now 1.00
00:00:50.600 luckily for the time being the people pushing this political effort have done everything humanly
00:00:55.200 possible to not be taken seriously just stick around you'll see exactly what I'm talking about
00:00:59.460 as always drop a like in the video help us out by subscribing to the true north youtube channel
00:01:02.940 and the comment question for the episode is this why are these drag queens men so desperate to read
00:01:09.460 books in front of our children let me know and let's get into it here is Ontario NDP politician
00:01:15.220 Christian Wong Tam who uses they them pronouns obviously introducing legislation to make it
00:01:21.340 illegal in Ontario to protest drag queen story hours now for whatever reason people aren't taking
00:01:27.780 Christian Wong Tam seriously I don't know why firstly it enables the attorney general to create a 2s 0.97
00:01:34.460 lgbtqi plus community safety zone to prohibit within a hundred meters of the property any homophobic
00:01:43.480 transphobic act of intimidation threat offensive threats offensive remarks protest disturbance and
00:01:50.120 distribution of hate propaganda within the meaning of the criminal code it also comes with it a
00:01:56.600 penalty of $25,000 if prosecuted successfully they're trying to make it illegal for anyone to
00:02:02.700 stand within 100 meters of a child drag show and raise any objection at all and to really hammer home
00:02:08.840 the point and be taken totally seriously Christian Wong Tam brought out Betelgeuse to explain why this
00:02:14.820 bill is so important we will not let fear win a world without trans people has never existed
00:02:21.080 a world without drag has never existed and it never will queen people have always been here amongst us 0.98
00:02:27.700 there are co-workers there are brothers our sisters there are mothers our fathers there are families
00:02:34.260 drag is art drag is culture drag is educational drag is creative drag is comedy but drag is not a crime
00:02:43.800 my name is scarlet bobo and thank you so much for your time it's showtime
00:02:48.860 am i the only person that feels bad for the guy in the back left corner who obviously walked into
00:02:54.760 the wrong press conference wait a second this isn't the budget meeting i was supposed to go to
00:02:59.260 anyway i'm just gonna sit here and try to act as though everything is normal now i'm about 95 sure
00:03:03.980 that this bill will not be approved in the ontario legislature i only say 95 because a part of me feels
00:03:10.540 as though the ontario conservatives who are the least conservative conservative party in canada
00:03:15.300 might actually vote for this bill they only vote against ndp private members bills on principle not
00:03:21.320 because they actually oppose the legislation and nothing from these progressive conservatives would
00:03:25.280 surprise me at this point but this exact piece of legislation is law in the city of calgary a few
00:03:31.720 weeks ago calgary city council passed the hilariously titled safe and inclusive bylaw which would establish a
00:03:38.620 100 meter no protest zone around city facilities and libraries hosting drag queen story hours so in 0.85
00:03:46.460 calgary you're allowed to protest environmental issues lack of bike lanes taxes anywhere you'd like
00:03:52.020 but the second you dare to take issue with men dressed up as women dancing in front of children
00:03:56.240 within 100 meters of that location we're going to get a fine of up to ten thousand dollars or even a
00:04:01.680 year in prison now it obviously goes without saying but all of this is clearly unconstitutional
00:04:06.600 the canadian constitution foundation slammed this bylaw and said this this bylaw is a clear example
00:04:13.380 of a short-sighted council pushing through an unconstitutional bylaw because of a current
00:04:17.920 cultural touch point the debate at council makes it quite clear that the concern driving this rush to
00:04:23.160 enact the protest ban is protests at drag queen story hours however calgarians have a right to protest
00:04:29.700 such events and indeed a right to protest any topic they choose calgary city council has closed its eyes
00:04:36.200 to the potential unforeseen consequences of this bylaw being used to silence speech that they
00:04:41.780 themselves may agree with now to be honest the politicians pushing these unconstitutional laws
00:04:46.100 don't actually have to push these laws before this calgary bylaw was in place pastor derek reimer
00:04:52.100 was arrested for peacefully protesting a child drag show and in ontario a 17 year old high school student
00:04:59.360 josh alexander was arrested and expelled from his high school for proclaiming that there are only two
00:05:04.760 genders now if you can be arrested for protesting a child drag show and you can be expelled from your
00:05:09.340 high school for proclaiming the truth then why even bother pushing the legislation the federally funded
00:05:13.940 carousel theater for young people is hosting a drag show camp for kids aged 7 to 11 where these kids are
00:05:20.640 given drag show makeup kits totally normal last week cbc news put together a 10 minute video segment
00:05:27.480 titled queens and kids in class in honest conversation about drag gender and dress up in which
00:05:34.680 two men sit in a classroom and talk to very confused and very uncomfortable children while 0.68
00:05:41.720 the state broadcaster using your money is totally not trying to normalize drag shows for kids totally
00:05:47.240 not trying to normalize that they're just putting this together a few years ago the cbc again using
00:05:52.600 your taxpayer funds for great purposes for advancing canadian culture put together a documentary called
00:05:58.280 drag kids with a description that reads a daring and touching portrait of four kids chasing freedom and
00:06:04.600 friendship through the art of drag and over the weekend at the trans day of visibility protest
00:06:09.720 in vancouver billboard chris who many of you likely know was violently assaulted by a group of
00:06:15.080 transgender activists as the vancouver police watched on smirking as chris was violently assaulted
00:06:21.640 oh and the vancouver police department deputy chief he was more concerned about the nasty reaction
00:06:26.680 given toward the police officer rather than the brutal assault on billboard chris because of course they
00:06:32.120 were but is it really any wonder why parents are taking issue with child drag shows with the
00:06:36.280 normalization of this behavior in front of young children clearly there is an effort to try and
00:06:40.680 normalize youth transgenderism that's why they have men dressed up as women trying to act as though 0.96
00:06:46.360 that's totally normal in front of children now perhaps parents are protesting all of this because they
00:06:50.760 might have read this study in the canadian medical association journal transgender adolescence
00:06:56.680 showed five times the risk of suicidal ideation than non-transgender adolescents in canada so we
00:07:03.320 have the state pop culture politicians trying to normalize youth transgenderism through the practice of
00:07:09.480 child drag shows when data that is publicly available for parents shows that this leads to a spike in
00:07:16.040 suicidal ideation the ratio of the week award goes to kristen wong tam for her tweet thread detailing how
00:07:22.680 proud she is for introducing a ban on protesting child drag shows in ontario 276 replies to only 98
00:07:30.120 likes on her first tweet she did this entire long tweet thread about how proud she is to introduce this
00:07:35.880 unconstitutional bill here's some of the comments keep it in the legal drinking age club sir we must ask
00:07:41.640 the question as to why drag queens crave audiences of children yes exactly that is the common question of
00:07:48.280 the episode as well why are these people so desperate to perform adult entertainment in front
00:07:53.560 of children nobody took issue when drag queens did whatever they did in bars and clubs adults are 0.98
00:07:59.480 allowed to do whatever they want to do but when you start involving children and then you criminalize
00:08:04.120 protests against that that's when we have a problem you're kidding right sickening love us or else you will 0.56
