Max Genest - Bill C-3 Tarnishes Canadian Citizenship

00:00:00.000 Canada just eroded its own passport. That's right, the Mark Carney government just amended

00:00:04.920 the Citizenship Act and it's bad, really bad. It's called Bill C-3 and it expands what's called

00:00:10.520 Citizenship by Dissent. It means someone who immigrated to Canada, lived here for just three

00:00:15.660 years, became a citizen, then moved abroad, can now pass their citizenship to their child born

00:00:22.420 overseas. So their children will be recognized as Canadians even if none of them ever live here

00:00:28.900 again. Government estimates say that in the next five years, over 115,000 people overseas will

00:00:35.260 gain this status that you are paying for. That's right, more than $20 million in taxpayer money

00:00:41.240 just to make it happen. So think about the whole picture. If living here, contributing here,

00:00:46.340 working here are no longer a part of being Canadian, what is? When you hold this passport

00:00:51.800 in your hands, you are not holding a gift from Ottawa. You're holding generations of hard work,

00:00:57.240 sacrifice and pride this passport represents blood sweat and history not entitlement its

00:01:04.060 identity its belonging it's the highest honor a person can earn it's not something to be handed

00:01:10.060 out like a souvenir and when the government treats it like paperwork it cheapens everything

00:01:15.320 our ancestors have built for us we have a government that's turned its back on its own

00:01:19.980 people making it easier to hand out citizenship to those who never lived here the consequences

00:01:25.900 of giving out citizenship like candy are extremely serious and severe. People with no real connection

00:01:32.280 or commitment to Canada will gain full rights, benefits, and voting powers. But most of all,

00:01:37.660 it weakens our national identity. It undermines the fact that our ancestors have built this country

00:01:42.740 brick by brick, yet they are giving it away to people who never lifted a finger for it.

00:01:47.980 If calling yourself a Canadian no longer requires any connections to this land,

00:01:51.960 then what does it mean to belong here at all?

00:01:54.860 Most Canadians haven't even heard of Bill C-3.

00:01:57.860 And it permanently redefines the value of our Western civilization and of Canada itself.

00:02:04.120 That's why we need to collectively and unanimously wake up together.

00:02:07.900 This goes beyond partisanship or party lines.

00:02:10.740 This is about recognizing the severity of what's happening to our country.

00:02:15.060 We need to take our country back.

00:02:17.000 One day, Canada will come first.

00:02:19.300 Where we, as Canadians, will finally put ourselves first.
