If Europeans stole Canada centuries ago, why do fresh-off-the-boat-type migrants act like they have more rights to this country than the descendants of the people who built it? I made a video arguing that the rapid granting of Canadian citizenship to migrants facilitates foreign-born politicians with divided loyalties, and I got a comment from an Indian saying: "While your ancestors received Canadian citizenship 170 years ago, when he came from Europe, you guys pretend to be the original owners."

00:00:00.000 If Europeans stole Canada centuries ago, why do fresh-off-the-boat-type migrants act like they 1.00
00:00:06.600 have more right to this country than the descendants of the people who built it? 1.00
00:00:11.500 So yesterday, I made a video arguing that the rapid granting of Canadian citizenship
00:00:16.300 to migrants facilitates foreign-born politicians with divided loyalties, and I got this comment
00:00:22.920 from an Indian saying, while your ancestors received his citizenship 170 years ago,
00:00:28.920 when he came from Europe, you guys pretend to be the original owner as if you didn't steal
00:00:35.180 others' land. Okay, so according to his logic, Canada's indigenous peoples should be subject to
00:00:42.020 a second round of colonization. Basically, he's calling me an evil land stealer while implying
00:00:48.640 he is the exact same. Yeah, that makes total sense. And this whole idea of permanent original owners
00:00:54.660 is a myth. Every single piece of land on planet Earth has been invaded at some point, just like
00:01:00.380 how North American indigenous tribes routinely fought wars over territory long before Europeans
00:01:06.640 arrived. Also, my ancestors didn't receive citizenship 170 years ago. My ancestors,
00:01:13.300 the European settlers, arrived 400 years ago and built the country from the ground up.
00:01:18.060 And formal Canadian citizenship only dates to 1947, since someone had to create the nation
00:01:24.580 first, a nation built from scratch. We assembled its institutions and infrastructure, forging a
00:01:32.120 first-world Western country grounded in Roman law, Greek philosophy, and Christian morality,
00:01:38.280 the foundations that transformed Canada into a successful, innovative, and prosperous powerhouse. 0.62
00:01:45.460 White European excellence turns empty potential into unparalleled achievement, just like how 0.95
00:01:51.980 when the British arrived to India, there were constant wars between kingdoms, caste-based 0.91
00:01:57.260 violence, and practices like widow-burning and rival groups fighting to wipe each other out.
00:02:03.740 Not only did the British Empire largely stop the vast majority of that, they built railways,
00:02:10.380 roads, canals, and bridges. Telegraph lines were set up to move raw materials like cotton
00:02:16.240 from India's interior to ports, such as Bombay, for export to England. The British Empire was the
00:02:23.080 best thing to happen to India, and they didn't need to do it, but they did it because they wanted
00:02:28.500 the best for the world. Be proud of that. Be proud of your heritage. Be proud of your ancestry.
00:02:34.720 Be proud to be white. Be proud to be Canadian. We will implement re-migration. We will restore 0.67
00:02:41.200 Canada, we will take back what is rightfully ours. Long live Canada.
