00:00:00.000 So, this is insane, brace yourselves, the Canadian press just ran this article titled
00:00:05.080 I'm Traumatized, Terrified Haitians in the U.S. Make Dangerous Journey to Canada.
00:00:10.780 Honestly, this is one of the most shameless pieces of propaganda I have seen in a while.
00:00:17.540 The entire article is designed to guilt Canadians into accepting people who are
00:00:23.120 openly planning to break our laws and enter this country illegally.
00:00:27.780 So, let's break this down.
00:00:30.000 The story focuses on Haitians already living in the United States,
00:00:35.080 most of them under something called Temporary Protected Status, TPS.
00:00:41.100 TPS is a U.S. program that allows people from countries in crisis to stay and work legally for limited periods of time.
00:00:49.700 It was never meant to be permanent. It's temporary, hence the name.
00:00:54.760 It is tied to things like natural disasters or armed conflicts back at home.
00:00:59.500 so under biden tps for haitians was extended repeatedly and yeah haiti is a disaster gangs
00:01:07.600 control much of port-au-prince kidnappings murders and total lawlessness are the norm
00:01:13.700 i get that it's disgusting and no one is denying that either but then donald trump returns into
00:01:20.160 office and he reviews the program he looks at it and he says what should have been said all along
00:01:25.440 this is never supposed to be forever. In Springfield, they're eating the dogs,
00:01:32.220 the people that came in. They're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people
00:01:39.000 that live there. And this is what's happening in our country. And it's a shame.
00:01:44.440 So as a result, TPS for Haitians is now set to expire on February 3rd, 2026.
00:01:49.920 and courts are fighting it that may delay things slightly but the reality is very simple the clock
00:01:56.600 is ticking so people who entered under tps are obviously panicking they don't want to go back
00:02:01.980 to haiti fair enough it's a terrible place to live right now but instead of dealing with this
00:02:10.120 through legal channels in the united states this is now becoming canada's problem
00:02:16.080 many are now calling a montreal activist named france andre asking how to cross into canada
00:02:26.340 illegally andre runs a migrant advocacy group and he openly brags that his phone rings every
00:02:34.100 single day with haitians asking for help he even admits quote while you and i are talking people
00:02:40.420 are entering Canada, unquote. And when he warns them about the risk, they respond, quote, Mr.
00:02:46.340 Andre, I have no choice, unquote. That right there is total nonsense. You always have a choice.
00:02:51.620 You chose to enter on a temporary program. You chose to stay knowing it was not permanent.
00:02:57.480 And now you're just trying to upgrade to Canada's welfare buffet because the United States of
00:03:04.320 America finally decided to enforce its own rules. We are the losers. And since Christmas,
00:03:11.620 at least 27 Haitians have been caught crossing illegally into Quebec. On foot, in the middle
00:03:18.060 of winter, and predictably, many suffered from frostbite and hypothermia and ended up in the
00:03:24.300 hospital. And this article squeezes and milks every single ounce of emotion it can out of it.
00:03:30.780 terrified, traumatized, dangerous journey. Yeah, it's dangerous. That's what happens when you try
00:03:37.220 to sneak through forests and rivers at minus 30 degrees instead of, I don't know, respecting
00:03:42.680 borders. And then we're introduced to an anonymous single mother in Georgia. No name because she's
00:03:49.680 afraid of ice, which is very convenient for this narrative. She claims she's traumatized. She barely
00:03:56.640 leaves the house and once she hid during during an ice raid at a supermarket she says we're barely
00:04:03.740 breathing we're no longer living sorry this is funny but the reality is she came here on a
00:04:10.460 temporary program that was always temporary and the united states is not your permanent crash bad
00:04:16.620 lady and neither is canada so deciding to illegally cross another border with a child
00:04:23.040 is unfortunately for you not trauma that is irresponsibility and entitlement she even
00:04:28.980 references the high profile ice killing of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis to heightened fear
00:04:35.320 saying it could have been me it could have been my child I mean she's right it could have been
00:04:39.820 anybody who decided to ignore law enforcement officers and run them over with a minivan
00:04:45.040 and give them internal bleeding and also using an extreme single case to manipulate an entire
00:04:52.100 country to abandon its border enforcement is wild. That's beyond me. So now Canada is surprisingly
00:04:59.500 actually deporting a lot of these Haitians. In 2023, Canada closed the Roxham Road loophole
00:05:04.880 because before there were tens of thousands arriving through it. And yeah, this is a massive
00:05:10.060 improvement over the old system, but it's not perfect. Some people slipped through those 27
00:05:15.840 that came in. How do you think they got in? So the system still has a lot of holes. It is still
00:05:20.560 broken in some aspects. And this article quotes a McGill professor complaining that these fast
00:05:27.180 deportations we introduced in 2023 make it harder for NGOs and lawyers to intervene. Yeah, that's
00:05:33.580 kind of the point, bro. He claims the old system works very well. By which she means, of course,
00:05:39.860 tens of thousands crossing at Roxham Road, getting hotels, healthcare and services, while us, the
00:05:46.140 plebs, we wait years for doctors and housing. So now these loopholes are mostly closed and he calls
00:05:52.400 it chaos. Chaos for who? The smugglers and the Q jumpers or for us Canadians? Because that's not
00:05:59.460 chaos. That's peace. That's harmony. That's law and order. So this article also quotes a charity
00:06:05.260 director in Ohio saying things are just so bad here. Lady, that's not an argument. That's pure
00:06:11.220 guilt tripping. You are replacing logic with emotions. So the bottom line is nobody is disputing
00:06:19.940 that Haiti is a nightmare. Canada is also not the backup plan for every single failed state in the
00:06:25.120 hemisphere. We have our own homelessness. We have our own veterans sleeping rough. Our own citizens
00:06:30.100 are getting crushed by housing costs, taxes, and collapsing services. And we do not owe anyone a
00:06:36.340 free pass just because they don't like the consequences of breaking United States immigration
00:06:41.620 law. So at the end of the day, this article is not journalism. It is emotional blackmail.
00:06:47.520 Terrified Haitians, more like people shocked that temporary privileges are actually temporary.
00:06:54.000 So look, we got to put Canada first. And what does that mean? Deporting the parasitic invaders
00:06:59.580 and let Haiti sort out its own mess. That also means closing our borders, enforcing our
00:07:06.320 laws making sure our citizens matter and if you are in the united states illegally or on an
00:07:13.680 expiring status deal with it there do not dump it on us and if you are sick of all this nonsense
00:07:19.760 like me push back do not be afraid to talk about it because the reality is we are full and this is
00:07:26.000 our country.
