00:00:00.000 the genocide happening in your home in your country in your nation not true so that i would 0.80
00:00:05.680 be forced into slavery into the white demographic oh canada okay oh my gosh forced into slavery 0.77
00:00:18.160 into the white demographic what can you even say
00:00:24.720 well i hope all of you watching had great dominion day celebrations with family and friends
00:00:36.400 perhaps you had some barbecue and some drinks topped it off with some fireworks
00:00:40.640 you likely enjoyed the national celebration if you are a normal and sane person canada day or
00:00:47.860 Dominion Day as it should be known, is probably the least controversial and unifying national
00:00:53.180 celebration we have in this country. But still, many among us believe that Canada Day should be
00:00:59.560 cancelled because it honors colonialism and celebrates indigenous erasure. You might have
00:01:05.980 thought that the cancel Canada Day movement was one of those early 2020s far left radical social
00:01:12.260 movements that would have died off by now, especially now that the elbows up crowd have
00:01:17.420 made it acceptable to be patriotic about canada if you're a member of the radical left oh but you
00:01:23.180 would be mistaken about that we're bringing back an old ratio tradition on the show today the team

00:03:03.980 indigenous genocide is a bit extreme is that what you're celebrating on dominion day when
00:03:08.840 you're having a few drinks and chatting about how much you love the country deep down are you saying
00:03:14.200 wasn't it great that we stole land from indigenous people no one actually thinks this way it is

00:03:49.280 daily by the liberals when this is the kind of by the liberals really not even a basic 0.99

00:04:02.720 what is the issue she's taking with the arlene dickinson tweet
00:04:08.160 we look to our flag as a symbol of land and its beauty this wild enormous humbling place
00:04:12.720 is unlike anywhere on earth there's lots of gratitude for the fact that we're lucky enough
00:04:16.480 to live here and be asked to help to protect it canada day is a celebration for the people
00:04:21.200 who built this land from our first nations to all who lived in it today what's wrong with that

00:05:24.000 you know it's not that serious of a movement i don't know about you guys but i receive so many
00:05:29.360 weird spam messages and spam phone calls but luckily there is actually something you can do
00:05:35.600 about it here at juno we value personal privacy if you also believe that your personal information

00:05:48.080 personal information is being bought and sold right now as we speak without your consent what
00:05:54.320 really surprised me was how this worked there's a whole industry of companies called data brokers

00:06:05.360 our data and our personal information and the crazy part is you never signed up for this these
00:06:11.760 data brokers pull your information from apps websites and public records then turn around
00:06:17.520 and sell it to whoever wants it. This could include your phone number, your address, even your email,
00:06:22.960 which contributes to all of those endless spam calls and texts and sketchy emails that you've
00:06:27.840 been receiving. This is where Incogni comes in. Incogni is a service that automatically

00:07:21.040 if you care about privacy this is one of the easiest and fastest ways to take back control
00:07:26.480 of your personal information all right what do we have here canada day is a colonial holiday 0.77
00:07:31.280 built on the erasure of indigenous peoples and the celebration of a country that committed genocide
00:07:37.520 through residential schools and continues through colonial okay let's just let's just put this into
00:07:43.600 perspective here the only people claiming that canada actually committed a genocide against
00:07:49.120 indigenous peoples were the people that wrote the truth and reconciliation report a long list
00:07:55.440 of canadian historians who are not far-right conservatives have publicly labeled that claim as
00:08:02.000 is false. It should be noted as well that the chief villain of Canadian history to people like
00:08:08.100 this, John A. Macdonald, actually saved thousands of Indigenous lives, countless Indigenous lives.
00:08:15.680 Macdonald's efforts to introduce a smallpox vaccine and make sure that it was taken by
00:08:20.960 as many Indigenous communities as possible in the prairies saved thousands of lives.
00:08:26.560 in the 1880s when McDonald was prime minister he ensured that indigenous Canadians would not starve
00:08:35.080 he introduced famine relief programs that again saved thousands of indigenous lives the chief
00:08:40.520 villain of Canadian history in the eyes of these radicals was courted in the house of commons in
00:08:46.240 1880s saying this public sentiment would not allow and no government would be worthy of their
00:08:51.540 position if they allowed the Indians to starve as long as we have the means to feed them the
00:08:56.040 government adopted the best means for relieving them. We were obliged to find food for them, 0.99
00:09:00.800 making the moral argument that they as a government were obliged to ensure that the
00:09:06.520 indigenous people could live and not starve to death. That's not a genocidal remark. If McDonald
00:09:12.620 really was genocidal, if he really hated indigenous Canadians, why would he have put so much public
00:09:18.240 money into the smallpox vaccine campaign to ensure that these people stayed alive? Why would he have
00:09:24.620 put so much money into famine relief programs to also ensure that indigenous Canadians would 0.95
00:09:29.620 survive. Let's proceed. The fact that denialism of that genocide is still politically viable
00:09:36.640 tells me exactly how reconciled this country actually is. Celebrating it for me would be
00:09:42.220 an act of moral pretense. And on the other side of the coin, disability pride month begins today.
00:09:46.860 The country that wants disabled people to be grateful for scraps is... 0.52
00:09:49.880 We just emerged from Pride Month, which I'm sure was also the special month for several other groups. 0.98
00:09:57.740 But now, July is Disability Pride Month. It just keeps going and going. 0.58
00:10:02.600 People to be grateful for scraps is the same country that won't even formally acknowledge the month dedicated to our existence,
00:10:10.960 our history, our resistance, our diversity, and the complexity that is our beauty and our strength. 0.57
00:10:16.460 Alberta's recognition of this month is ironic as fuck though, considering what they're doing to
00:10:21.520 age recipients and the disabled people that they're pushing into deeper crisis. This country 0.96
00:10:26.440 celebrates itself while actively abandoning the people that it claims to include. Indigenous 1.00
00:10:31.660 people, disabled people, poor people, migrants, refugees. Do you hear that? Canada excludes
00:10:39.000 migrants and refugees? You're telling me for the first time. I could have swore that we were doing 0.98
00:10:44.520 the opposite of excluding those people the very groups whose survival and safety and well-being 0.85
00:10:50.200 depends on this country actually meaning what the fuck it says and just to get us on the same page
00:10:55.880 here me not celebrating isn't cynicism it's not unpatriotic it's moral clarity yes it is 0.83
00:11:01.920 what are you talking about it's like the only day you're allowed to celebrate this country and
00:11:06.800 you're telling people you can't celebrate canada day because the country is racist and genocidal
00:11:11.460 you're saying you're not you're not unpatriotic come on now i think we've had plenty of that
00:11:18.360 tick tock there goodness gracious all right load up another one let's see what we got
00:11:23.780 don't wish me a happy colonization day happy canada day thought i would just wish wish this
00:11:31.520 woman who's not very happy a happy canada day or happy dominion day today is not a happy day
00:11:38.960 for indigenous peoples, because everyone seems to forget what this country was founded upon.
00:11:46.440 Think about the history. Think about the broken promises, the missed opportunity to really be
00:11:54.740 who we are as two separate nations, sovereign nations who signed treaties.
00:12:00.720 and canada did not keep their word they acted in bad faith to take everything from us and
00:12:10.640 still they haven't succeeded so i still have hope that we can create a relationship
00:12:17.540 that is built upon mutual respect dignity honor and go back to those ways so in the eyes of some
00:12:26.640 of these people, there isn't a relationship between the government and indigenous people
00:12:31.360 built on mutual respect. Most Canadians would disagree with that. Most Canadians look at the
00:12:37.280 amount of public funding that goes into indigenous programming in this country to ensure that
00:12:42.180 indigenous Canadians are able to learn their languages and celebrate their culture. It's a
00:12:48.100 lot better than the rest of the world. And I think this country has done plenty for indigenous
00:12:54.020 Canadians today. Plenty. And what's not recognized is what some leaders in the Indigenous community
00:13:00.000 are doing to their own people. Siphoning off money. Corruption. Not investing money into
00:13:06.160 reservations and schooling. Whose fault is that? Is that still the Canadian government? The evil
00:13:14.000 Canadian government's fault? These are just insane. Honestly. They're so miserable. Enjoy 1.00
00:13:21.040 the country we live in all right this one is from an account called decolonial clothing
00:13:26.200 this should be good here we go so what are we celebrating really what is there to celebrate
00:13:32.480 on canada day celebrating and setting off fireworks this amazing country despite all
00:13:38.540 of its problems that we're faced with today it's still an amazing country i can think of
00:13:43.080 a bunch of things to celebrate fireworks at a time when the unmarked graves and the conversation
00:13:50.840 of that had got quieter over the years. Now, why might the Unmarked Graves conversation have
00:13:55.520 gotten quieter over the years? Might it be perhaps that nothing has been uncovered? That nothing was
00:14:01.980 found? Hmm. Maybe that might, that might be one of the reasons. Who knows? The genocide happening
00:14:10.000 in your home, in your country, in your nation. Not true. I love how these people just throw that out
00:14:16.520 there. It's a serious accusation and it's not true. And yet it's one of those things where if
00:14:21.660 you just repeat it enough times, more people will actually believe it. I think that Canada and I
00:14:26.560 know that this is a collective push that Canada is guilty of a genocide. Canada has never been
00:14:33.280 accountable of the genocide that they are guilty for and have committed and still commit war crimes
00:14:39.480 against Indigenous people in their communities for decades. Canada still commits war crimes
00:14:45.520 against indigenous peoples in their communities today. I haven't heard about that. I haven't seen
00:14:51.000 that on the CBC. That's the first place I'd look for reporting on that sort of thing.
00:14:56.520 Wow. I must be living under a rock. And I know that because we face it and we see it every single
00:15:02.280 day. So no, I will not be celebrating Canada Day. I encourage you not to celebrate. And until we can
00:15:08.600 see justice, there is nothing to celebrate. And there is no pride in genocide. Oh, these people,
00:15:14.760 they they must be so miserable really this is a reminder that when we celebrate canada day 1.00
00:15:22.740 we're celebrating the colonization of the land of indigenous people with force this is what 0.96
00:15:30.860 canada day is about it's about colonization and the act of elimination of indigenous people
00:15:35.960 myself being one of them so this isn't 2 000 years ago this is happening today i'm enslaved
00:15:42.080 into white still because white still is holding my records which they stole in the first place
00:15:47.200 it doesn't belong to them enslaved into white steel i'm not even sure if that's what she said
00:15:54.000 or if that's what the caption reads let's listen to that one more time i'm not sure what she's
00:15:59.200 talking about here enslaved into white still because white still is holding my records which
00:16:04.000 they stole in the first place it doesn't belong to them they also eliminated my mother and left 0.68
00:16:08.800 her in a coma for days before she passed away and kidnapped me at birth and placed me and changed 0.94
00:16:16.240 my name and sealed my records so that I would be forced into slavery into the white demographic 0.83
00:16:22.960 oh Canada okay oh my gosh forced into slavery into the white demographic I'm sure she's really 0.60
00:16:35.300 fun at parties um where does that even come from forced into slavery into the white demographic 0.78
00:16:44.300 what can you even say all right the punishment is over i actually thought the cancel canada day
00:16:53.260 movement was eliminated was gone but no they're still out there still trying to make a difference
00:16:58.860 still trying to tell us that no, Canada Day is not allowed. We need to be depressed. We need to
00:17:05.940 hang our heads in shame and apologize for things that actually never happened. All right, everyone,
