00:00:00.000 One of the biggest problems facing Canada right now is radical Islam. 1.00

00:00:04.560 These foreigners have come, they've taken over our streets, they've taken over our parks, 1.00

00:00:09.420 they've taken over our shopping malls, and they're not stopping there.

00:00:12.920 No, this is only the beginning.

00:00:15.000 They're not going to stop until they completely dominate Canada. 0.95

00:00:18.960 However, one province, and only one province, has had enough, and they're ready to push back.

00:00:24.800 Let's take a look at that.

00:00:25.760 C-Jeps and universities are not temple or church. 1.00

00:00:32.620 I honestly don't know what it's trying to achieve.

00:00:35.340 The Quebec government is tightening its secularism rules in a new bill tabled Thursday.

00:00:39.720 The new rules would ban prayer rooms in universities and C-Jeps, 1.00

00:00:43.180 as well as restrict the offering of religion-based meals.

00:00:45.860 The new rules would also ban street prayers,

00:00:48.300 as well as restrict the ability for daycare educators to wear religious symbols.

00:00:51.980 Death Noon Rizwan is the president of Dawson College's Muslim Student Association.

00:00:58.460 He says his school is one of the few where Christian, Jewish, and Muslim students all share designated prayer spaces.

00:01:04.680 But under the new law, that setup could vanish overnight.

00:01:07.840 Now what the heck is going on here?

00:01:09.940 This isn't Saudi Arabia.

00:01:11.620 This isn't Iran. 0.83

00:01:12.840 This is Canada.

00:01:14.260 Why do we need dedicated prayer spaces in college?

00:01:17.460 That's something I'll never understand.

00:01:18.880 And it's not like these people have an issue praying in the middle of the street,

00:01:22.760 or in the middle of a park, or in the middle of a busy shopping center.

00:01:26.520 So don't give you the excuse that you need a dedicated prayer room.

00:01:29.860 I don't buy it.

00:01:30.860 And I'm also really confused, and let me know,

00:01:33.580 why is there a Muslim association in any Canadian college?

00:01:37.840 That doesn't make sense.

00:01:39.260 Before we go any further, I want to let you know I'm being heavily censored on YouTube.

00:01:43.000 If you see this part of the video, let me know in the comment section.

00:01:45.840 Give me a quick like, and let me know if you're still subscribed.

00:01:49.380 Thanks.

00:01:50.220 You have a lot of people that are coming to the prayer space every single day,

00:01:53.760 and now they will have to find other places, undesignated places, to pray.

00:01:58.240 One metro station away at Concordia University,

00:02:00.940 Muslim students say they fear losing the campus' prayer room

00:02:03.940 that accommodates at least 500 students a day.

00:02:06.760 There is no problem.

00:02:08.240 The government here is creating a new problem by removing us.

00:02:11.820 Secularism Minister Jean-Francois Roberge is promising a grandfather clause

00:02:16.020 for daycare workers affected by the ban.

00:02:18.280 The minister pitched the Thursday law known as Bill 9

00:02:21.020 as an upgraded sequel to the province's Bill 21,

00:02:24.300 the 2019 law banning religious symbols for teachers, police, and judges.

00:02:28.660 Roberge insists the new rules match what Quebecers want.

00:02:31.500 Because we wanted to accommodate and accommodate and accommodate,

00:02:35.660 we went too far.

00:02:38.700 And people in Quebec said,

00:02:41.460 really? We want this?

00:02:44.520 I don't understand what he really means by that,

00:02:47.200 because again, it's not affecting them.

00:02:49.640 The new law comes a month after Bill 94,

00:02:52.160 which barred face coverings for students.

00:02:54.500 Roberge took to X on the eve of tabling the new bill

00:02:57.080 in a video of himself writing,

00:02:58.640 this is how we live in Quebec,

00:03:00.220 on National Assembly Stationery,

00:03:02.120 captioned Secularism 2.0.

00:03:04.520 The minister says he's confident schools across the province will comply.

00:03:08.800 The fact that we gave three years

00:03:11.360 shows that we want the reflection to be done.

00:03:18.840 With an election a year away

00:03:20.180 and François Legault's CAQ tanking in the polls,

00:03:22.960 analysts like Daniel Bellin say the party

00:03:24.820 is returning to a reliable pressure point.

00:03:26.940 The base of the CQ, they love it.

00:03:29.260 They want more secularism.

00:03:30.920 And after months of political missteps,

00:03:32.580 Bellin says the government is in dire need of a smokescreen.

00:03:35.520 I think it's more of a diversion attempt

00:03:38.280 or an attempt to change the conversation.

00:03:42.180 It does make us anxious

00:03:44.060 and think about the future,

00:03:45.840 what they will do to us.

00:03:48.380 In Montreal, Zachary Chung, City News.

00:03:50.840 Quebec is 100% right about this.

00:03:53.400 These people are guests in our country

00:03:54.820 and they think they're the ones running the show.

00:03:57.580 And in a lot of ways, they are.

00:03:59.260 And the reason we got to this point

00:04:00.420 is because we were tolerant.

00:04:01.840 We were nice.

00:04:02.900 We kept being tolerant.

00:04:04.000 We kept being tolerant.

00:04:05.340 And all of a sudden, we've realized we've gone too far.

00:04:07.980 Or at least Quebec has.

00:04:09.080 And that's why I'm calling them out

00:04:10.480 and letting them know they did the right thing by doing this.

00:04:13.640 Now, a lot of Canadians actually agree with me.

00:04:15.880 They just do so in secret.

00:04:17.720 They don't want to say anything

00:04:18.660 because they don't want to be labeled as racist.

00:04:20.420 But the fact of the matter

00:04:22.220 is that a lot of Canadians agree with me.

00:04:24.400 And I'm willing to say the quiet part out loud.

00:04:26.940 Next, I'm going to show you a clip from CTV

00:04:28.380 to show you how the mainstream media is framing this.

00:04:31.140 And then stick around to the end for some more commentary.

00:04:33.360 Quebec Finance Minister Eric Girard

00:04:35.360 tabled his economic update today.

00:04:37.240 He said it contained good news for Quebecers.

00:04:39.620 Meanwhile, there is a plan

00:04:41.500 to expand secularism in Quebec again.

00:04:45.660 David Oertel joins us.

00:04:46.980 Hi, David.

00:04:49.480 Hi, Mitsumi.

00:04:50.740 So, David, the finance minister

00:04:52.080 says it's good news for Quebecers.

00:04:54.060 Do you think Quebecers will see it this way?

00:04:56.220 I mean, is there anything in this

00:04:57.540 that might help the CAQ at all?

00:05:01.340 I keep having one expression in mind, Mitsumi.

00:05:03.840 This is a big nothing burger.

00:05:06.760 You know, I read at best for an average Quebecer,

00:05:10.220 for 4.7 million Quebecers,

00:05:12.860 it might mean $80, $90 more in the pocketbook,

00:05:18.100 not per week or per month, like for the year.

00:05:22.720 So, it ain't much.

00:05:26.460 And so, again, if you're looking at

00:05:29.540 having to choose between groceries

00:05:31.280 and your rents on Monday,

00:05:35.880 the beginning of the month of December,

00:05:38.760 you're not seeing any big help here.

00:05:41.640 And so, I kind of understand

00:05:44.700 why Faso Lago wants to move on to other topics.

00:05:48.280 So, he wants to move on to the other topic,

00:05:51.160 which is tabling legislation,

00:05:53.500 maybe Thursday,

00:05:54.620 to extend the ban on religious symbols

00:05:56.440 to future employees of private schools,

00:05:58.660 ban face coverings in universities,

00:06:00.140 CEGEPs.

00:06:01.340 We know he's playing to his base,

00:06:03.180 but is there that much more to gain

00:06:06.240 by expanding this law?

00:06:09.560 Well, again, you know,

00:06:12.280 this is a solution in search of a problem.

00:06:16.400 I watch you every night, Mitsumi.

00:06:21.060 When was the last time

00:06:22.600 have you talked about this epidemic

00:06:24.660 of prayers or private schools,

00:06:29.300 religious private schools?

00:06:31.540 I mean, I think you're looking

00:06:33.940 at a desperate premier

00:06:35.700 grasping at straws here,

00:06:37.800 trying to find an issue.

00:06:39.040 Everything that he's tried,

00:06:40.140 and we don't even have time

00:06:41.800 to go through the list

00:06:43.420 of everything he's tried

00:06:44.940 since August

00:06:46.260 to bring up his numbers.

00:06:49.280 And let's remember here,

00:06:50.600 we still don't have a solution

00:06:52.000 with the doctors.

00:06:52.760 The unions are going after his bill

00:06:56.260 to restructure how unions work.

00:06:59.500 There are three weeks left,

00:07:01.000 basically, maybe, what,

00:07:02.120 two, two and a half weeks left

00:07:03.580 to this session.

00:07:06.080 And, you know,

00:07:07.460 thank goodness,

00:07:08.020 from his perspective,

00:07:09.300 for Quebec Solidaire

00:07:10.160 and the liberals,

00:07:11.420 because if not,

00:07:12.420 we've been looking at

00:07:13.560 a constitution

00:07:14.420 that basically has no support

00:07:17.360 in the population

00:07:18.800 and nothing else

00:07:19.700 that's working for this government.

00:07:20.820 Well, David,

00:07:21.800 what I want to get to now, though,

00:07:23.320 is do you really watch me

00:07:26.000 every single night?

00:07:27.260 I mean, really?

00:07:28.560 Every single night.

00:07:31.400 And if I miss it,

00:07:34.160 then I re-watch it

00:07:35.580 on the CTV News Montreal website.

00:07:38.740 Okay, so moving on.

00:07:40.160 So the National Assembly.

00:07:41.800 Oh, David, really.

00:07:44.000 The National Assembly,

00:07:45.420 back in session.

00:07:46.900 So what exactly is the CAQ

00:07:48.380 hoping for, as you said?

00:07:49.480 So they're hoping

00:07:50.840 that the liberals

00:07:51.540 and Quebec Solidaire

00:07:52.820 continue to make headlines.

00:07:54.980 They're hoping the PQ

00:07:56.020 continue to talk up independence.

00:07:58.180 Is that what they're really hoping for

00:07:59.780 for the rest of this?

00:08:01.540 Well, I think they're hoping

00:08:03.260 for a miracle that,

00:08:05.180 and it's the total irony

00:08:06.720 of the situation

00:08:07.600 is that Francois Legault's salvation

00:08:09.840 now lies in Mark Carney's

00:08:12.100 investment plan

00:08:13.740 with major projects,

00:08:15.920 defense, and everything else.

00:08:16.980 So the federal government's plan

00:08:20.820 that was developed

00:08:22.000 in the last budget

00:08:23.240 a couple of weeks ago

00:08:24.300 is, I think,

00:08:27.280 Francois Legault's last hope

00:08:28.620 to try to turn around

00:08:29.780 Quebec's economy.

00:08:30.580 Remember, I mean,

00:08:31.200 what Éric Girard said today,

00:08:33.020 I mean, we need now

00:08:34.180 the Green Fund,

00:08:35.780 the former Green Fund,

00:08:37.060 to lower the impact

00:08:39.820 of the deficit,

00:08:40.900 which is still in record territory,

00:08:42.880 $12.4 billion.

00:08:43.960 So he needs a miracle economically,

00:08:47.060 and as long as

00:08:48.420 the Trump tariffs

00:08:49.640 are affecting our economy,

00:08:52.020 the last hope for Legault

00:08:53.460 is Mark Carney's investments

00:08:55.460 across Canada.

00:08:56.960 I want to stress,

00:08:57.640 I don't hate Muslims, 0.96

00:08:58.460 and I don't want you

00:08:59.220 to hate Muslims.

00:09:00.420 That's not the problem here. 0.86

00:09:01.820 My problem is 0.99

00:09:02.500 with radical Muslims. 0.99

00:09:04.280 If you're the kind of person 0.98

00:09:05.020 that comes to this country, 1.00

00:09:06.100 you work hard,

00:09:07.220 you pay your taxes,

00:09:08.440 you don't force religion

00:09:09.620 down people's throats, 0.90

00:09:10.620 then I don't have

00:09:11.360 a problem with you.

00:09:12.100 But if you think

00:09:13.480 you're going to come here

00:09:14.340 and force religion 0.88

00:09:15.540 down people's throats

00:09:16.580 and tell people

00:09:17.580 how to live their lives,

00:09:19.160 you've got another thing coming.

00:09:20.820 And if you're the kind of person

00:09:21.700 where you're sad

00:09:22.740 or you're uncomfortable

00:09:23.680 living in Canada

00:09:25.020 when it's not a Muslim country,

00:09:27.200 well, I'd be more than happy

00:09:28.720 to show you the directions

00:09:29.740 to the airport.

00:09:30.920 So once again,

00:09:31.460 I applaud Quebec for doing this,

00:09:33.380 and I think Polly Eve

00:09:34.380 should consider this

00:09:35.280 once it becomes Prime Minister.

00:09:36.960 I would love to see

00:09:37.820 a nationwide prayer ban

00:09:39.660 as well as a freeze,

00:09:42.000 a temporary,

00:09:42.820 even permanent freeze

00:09:43.900 on immigration

00:09:44.660 from third world 0.89

00:09:46.140 Muslim majority countries.

00:09:47.960 I think that would be

00:09:48.520 a great thing for him to do,

00:09:50.140 and most Canadians

00:09:50.980 would love it.

00:09:52.100 And of course,

00:09:52.640 I still have faith

00:09:53.320 he's going to be Prime Minister.

00:09:54.940 He's just going to take

00:09:55.580 a little bit more time

00:09:56.520 than we previously thought.

00:09:58.220 I'm still looking at

00:09:58.980 a blue summer,

00:09:59.980 and I think that's

00:10:00.480 entirely possible.

00:10:02.020 So thanks for tuning in.

00:10:03.320 I love you all.

00:10:04.460 Let me know what you think

00:10:05.240 about the new setup

00:10:05.960 in the comments section.

00:10:07.440 Talk to you tomorrow,

00:10:08.200 Patriots.
