00:00:00.000 So you guys have all heard of that evil racist bigot, Alexander Graham Bell, right? 0.97
00:00:03.960 We were all taught about him in schools. 0.93
00:00:05.740 He happened to know at the telephone. 0.99
00:00:07.060 But, you know, most of us know him now as some evil racist bigot. 0.90
00:00:10.160 And frankly, thank goodness, because the federal government has listened to us.
00:00:13.540 They are now investigating Alexander Graham Bell for posthumous honors due to his controversial beliefs.
00:00:20.460 According to Blacklock's reporter, the Historic Sites and Monuments Board are now investigating Alexander Graham Bell
00:00:25.640 for what they consider to be views, actions, and activities condemned by today's society.
00:00:31.220 Now, this Historic Sites and Monuments Board are also looking to cancel 24 historic Canadian military forts
00:00:38.440 for what they consider to be colonial assumptions.
00:00:42.420 Colonial assumptions from old British forts on Canadian soil.
00:00:47.440 I wonder what could be colonial about that.
00:00:49.500 I mean, obviously, it's colonial.
00:00:51.540 Colonial assumptions?
00:00:53.120 These were British forts.
00:00:54.360 British forts that played an integral role in building the country and the freedom that we all enjoy today.
00:01:00.700 But, of course, you've got to tear that down because it's old, it's British, and it's white. 1.00
00:01:04.360 It must go.
00:01:05.420 We must rid it from Canadian society. 1.00
00:01:07.860 We need to get rid of anything that leads to the real story of this country
00:01:10.880 because that way we can rewrite this history.
00:01:13.400 That's really what's been going on, too.
00:01:15.120 The woke radical left have been on an absolute tear recently, rewriting Canada's history,
00:01:19.980 toppling Canadian statues of John A. Macdonald, Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth, Egerton Ryerson, and the list goes on.
00:01:27.020 Not only that, Kingston, Ontario recently decided that the John A. Macdonald statue that they voted to tear out of the ground
00:01:34.180 and rip off its pedestal, well, it's not going to be coming back to his gravesite.
00:01:38.020 They're just going to vanish it from Canadian society.
00:01:40.240 What a way to rewrite our history.
00:01:42.440 As long as you get rid of any artifact that actually tells the story of Canada,
00:01:45.820 then you can rewrite it in your own terms.
00:01:47.700 Look out for when they tell us that Canada was actually created by a bunch of woke radical activists
00:01:53.240 preaching for abortion rights and open immigration. 1.00
00:01:56.320 But, like we do on Ratioed, we wanted to give these woke radical idiots the benefit of the doubt. 1.00
00:02:02.640 So, what we did was we did a little bit of digging on Alexander Graham Bell's legacy, 1.00
00:02:06.400 not wanting to make sure that we would gloss over some evil, awful, racist, bigoted actions by Mr. Alexander Graham Bell.
00:02:14.340 And sure enough, we did find some of these horrible views that are out of touch with society.
00:02:19.620 And I want to go through some of these views.
00:02:21.420 Now, this is a trigger warning for all of you listening,
00:02:23.360 because the last thing we'd want to do on Ratioed is offend you listening.
00:02:26.540 That's the last thing we want to do.
00:02:27.680 So, this is your trigger warning before we go into some of Alexander Graham Bell's horrible, horrible views.
00:02:33.580 These views include the idea that Alexander Graham Bell opposed marriage between deaf couples.
00:02:40.220 He also opposed sign language and encouraged the deaf to assimilate by reading lips. 0.66
00:02:45.860 Both Bell's mother and wife were hearing impaired.
00:02:48.820 Oh my god, that's just terrible.
00:02:50.120 I mean, sure, he invented the telephone, but he also thought deaf people should learn to read lips.
00:02:54.540 Quick, cancel this man before anyone thinks a white man from the 19th century can be a force for good. 0.74
00:02:58.680 Quickly, cancel him.
00:02:59.680 I mean, surely it has to be those horrendous views on deaf people.
00:03:02.560 Especially if the government can't even answer the basic question of what views he held that are not in line with today's society.
00:03:09.360 And I would agree, you know, the idea that we should teach deaf people to learn to read lips?
00:03:13.580 Horrible. Horrendous.
00:03:14.760 You know, thank God Canada has a prime minister so in touch with today's views and society's acceptable opinions.
00:03:21.700 Like the idea that you can dress up in blackface. 0.94
00:03:23.640 Or the idea that you can dress up in brownface. 0.72
00:03:25.800 Or the idea that you can dress up in both blackface and brownface so many times you've lost count.
00:03:29.920 I am wary of being definitive about this because the recent pictures that came out, I had not remembered.
00:03:42.420 And I think the question is, how can you not remember that?
00:03:46.500 The fact is, I didn't understand how hurtful this is to people who live with discrimination every single day.
00:03:57.920 Thank God we have a prime minister that is so in tune with today's society.
00:04:01.280 Let's cut to the chase here.
00:04:02.560 This is a concerted effort to rewrite and erase Canadian history.
00:04:05.460 They want to rewrite it in their image.
00:04:06.720 They want to tear down monuments of Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria, Johnny MacDonald, Egerton Ryerson, and whoever else.
00:04:13.900 A conservative politician with a backbone would pledge to rebuild these statues, rebuild these monuments, and repeal these wild attempts at rewriting our history.
00:04:22.540 If you destroy and tear down any semblance of a true story of this country, you can rewrite it in whatever image you want.
00:04:28.060 And I shudder at the idea of Justin Trudeau rewriting our Canada.
00:04:36.720 Thank you.
