00:00:00 First, you've got to get mad!
00:00:02 You are a violation of the terms of service!
00:00:05 Your content does not conform to community guidelines! 0.95
00:00:10 Leader of a white nationalist group, Diagolo!
00:00:13 Yes, I'm the bad guy now.
00:00:15 If that's how it's gonna be, then that's how it's gonna be.
00:00:17 You've got to say, I'm a human being! 1.00
00:00:20 God damn it! 0.99
00:00:21 My life has value! 1.00
00:00:22 You, sir, you are a terrorist! 0.98
00:00:25 when i returned home from afghanistan in the summer of 2007 my family threw a party 0.99
00:00:33 200 people came maybe more there were some of the local bands lots of great food girls i was elated
00:00:42 i was just happy to be alive and to be home and in sort of a surreal state still trying to process
00:00:49 everything that had happened. Being at home, the home I had grown up in with my family since I was
00:00:56 12 years old, felt like it was all a dream. You wake up in Afghanistan, or the United Bay of
00:01:02 Emirates, or the Middle East, or one morning, in less than 48 hours, or maybe even the same night,
00:01:08 you can be asleep in your own bed in Pictou County. You wake up in the morning, you look out
00:01:15 at the harbor in the summer in August and look down at your beret, your desert uniform
00:01:24 thrown over the chair next to your bed in your room, and it's almost like it was all
00:01:30 a dream.
00:01:32 There was a big banner my family had made, a big welcome home banner with the support
00:01:37 the troops yellow ribbons on it, and everybody signed it.
00:01:40 Some of them wrote nice messages.
00:01:42 Some of them probably regret.
00:01:44 some of those messages now in the present
00:01:46 since according to left and right wing media
00:01:49 I've become ginger Hitler 0.61
00:01:52 there was one message though 0.92
00:01:55 that stood out above the rest that I will never forget
00:01:59 it didn't exactly hurt to read it
00:02:02 but it felt heavy to read
00:02:04 and it said
00:02:07 never do that again
00:02:09 love dad
00:02:14 I was so lucky to grow up with the love and protection and understanding I had in my home from my mom and dad, my sister, my grandparents, my aunts and uncles and cousins.
00:02:25 It couldn't have been any better.
00:02:27 The kind of near-perfect childhood that I had is extremely rare.
00:02:32 I would come to understand that from hearing the stories of the situations many of the other soldiers came from.
00:02:38 My family should be very proud of that.
00:02:41 requires a lot of hard work patience and sacrifice it's not easy and i wouldn't be who i am today
00:02:48 without it my dad dropped probably 60 or 70 pounds while i was gone the stress of me being there in
00:02:56 afghanistan had him running probably it sounded like every day when i got home i spent almost a
00:03:02 year drinking beer and rum and eating pizza on the flip side i ballooned up to over 200 pounds myself
00:03:08 While he kept at it with his running, and he was older than I am today, he ran a marathon and finished with a qualifying time for the Boston Marathon while I was going in completely the other direction, quite fat and out of shape.
00:03:25 Here's a picture.
00:03:27 I could sense and feel how stressed out and worried, how much strain and stress my deployment put on my mother and father.
00:03:34 and I could feel their relief in the message that he wrote.
00:03:40 I can still see it in my mind.
00:03:43 I've looked at it and read it a few more times over the years
00:03:45 and thought about it.
00:03:49 And while at the time in 2007,
00:03:52 I had no intentions to do that again.
00:03:55 Within a few years, I thought it very well could
00:03:57 and probably would though.
00:03:59 There was no end in sight of that war
00:04:01 that is still ongoing today, 25 years later.
00:04:07 My career was just starting.
00:04:09 I was 22, and I had applied to the Special Operations Regiment.
00:04:12 There were still lots of combat deployments ongoing
00:04:16 for Canada and Afghanistan,
00:04:18 and we were still very much in the thick of things.
00:04:21 But between myself and God, I said that I would not seek it out.
00:04:26 I will not go out of my way to find it.
00:04:29 If I'm called and it's required, then I'll go.
00:04:31 But I will not, as the saying goes, go looking for trouble, because if you do, it will find you.
00:04:40 It always does.
00:04:42 I have a second cousin who fought with the United States Marines infantry in Vietnam at a time when anti-American subversion was activating.
00:04:50 More Canadians crossed the border into America to volunteer to fight the war than Americans who dodged the draft, like Donald Trump did many times, to hide in Canada.
00:05:01 My cousin Dave was one such volunteer. He was shot in the head.
00:05:06 A bullet tore through his helmet and cut through the top of his head and his skull, but didn't severely damage his brain.
00:05:14 He recovered and returned to duty.
00:05:16 Later, he would step on a Bouncing Betty anti-personnel mine.
00:05:20 The Bouncing Betty was a small explosive charge buried in the ground, and when it was triggered, would bounce into the air around waist height
00:05:28 and then detonate, intending to cripple and injure as many soldiers in range as possible
00:05:33 in the pelvis region where there are many arteries and vulnerabilities.
00:05:37 A significant portion of the back of his leg and lower posterior chain were destroyed.
00:05:42 He was fortunate to survive, but this time he would be retired and sent home.
00:05:47 Now he lives in Florida with a Purple Heart and has a 100% success rate to this day
00:05:52 in getting him out of speeding tickets.
00:05:54 I bring this up because the last time I spoke to him in person was in the summer of 2006, shortly before I deployed, and he said, I have one piece of advice.
00:06:05 Never volunteer for anything.
00:06:08 The American Special Operations Community also has a saying, don't run to your death.
00:06:14 All in all, besides permanently damaged ear and my innocent view of the world and humanity being far darker than I had hoped, I was very lucky to be unharmed.
00:06:24 The whole experience really touched me in ways that I've never forgotten.
00:06:27 But in this particular thread, because it was the first and only time I ever recall in my life that I could feel that my father was afraid.
00:06:39 I could sense that he was afraid for me and afraid for us, the other guys, and there wasn't anything he could do.
00:06:46 He would tell me that if he was just a little bit younger, he would go with me.
00:06:54 And I knew that he meant it. I can't imagine how helpless he felt. Now having children of my own,
00:07:02 I can't imagine the strength it must have taken for him to get up every day and go to work and
00:07:07 carry on acting like everything was fine. When at that time, every week, we were losing guys.
00:07:15 They would first report on the news, three killed in an ambush, two shot down in a helicopter,
00:07:19 six dead from a roadside bomb, and our families at home would have to wait.
00:07:23 Our communications would be silenced.
00:07:25 We couldn't call home and tell anybody that we were okay.
00:07:29 It had to be radio silence.
00:07:31 You'd have to wait until the public affairs officers and the Army liaisons at home
00:07:34 contacted all of the next of kin and gave them the terrible news.
00:07:41 And while they were at home waiting, every time the phone rang,
00:07:44 every knock at the door, they would have to live with that fear.
00:07:49 On the 4th of July in 2007, I was still deployed in an IED ambush, like one of the ones I just mentioned, claimed the lives of six soldiers from the PPCLI after six men in my platoon were killed earlier in April on Easter Sunday.
00:08:05 One IED made up of three stacked up Italian anti-tank mines, just like the ones Omar Khadr is on video wiring together with his family.
00:08:16 and it had been the worst day for the Canadian Army
00:08:20 since the end of the Korean War.
00:08:22 And then on July 4th, once again,
00:08:24 an IED claimed six Canadian lives.
00:08:28 My father was at work, alone,
00:08:30 surrounded by people who had no involvement
00:08:32 and little care of what was going on.
00:08:34 To them, there was no war.
00:08:37 A kind of terror throughout that work day for him
00:08:40 that I can't and don't want to imagine the helplessness.
00:08:44 and he never complained.
00:08:48 He never begged me to come home.
00:08:53 He never got angry or frustrated
00:08:56 about what I had put him through
00:08:57 or how hard it was for him and my mother
00:09:01 and how much it must have taken out of them.
00:09:03 He never said a word.
00:09:05 To this day,
00:09:08 I might be the soldier of the family,
00:09:11 but I am my father's son, and he carried on bravely shouldering that weight for the family
00:09:17 as best he could as any good soldier does. And my father is not a loud man. He's not an aggressive
00:09:25 man, but he is one of the strongest men I've ever known. I remember him taking one day off sick from
00:09:32 work when I was six or seven years old because it was that rare. He's a steady, solid guy,
00:09:38 And I credit him very much for his example, being responsible for my own ability to endure.
00:09:46 I also saw up close the not-so-lucky outcomes, friends who did not return home in one piece,
00:09:54 whose mother and father did indeed get that knock at the door, and who did get that phone call,
00:10:01 and they were never the same.
00:10:02 Some of them developed addictions
00:10:06 Some of them never recovered
00:10:08 And their lives were destroyed
00:10:09 The death and the sacrifice
00:10:13 Does not end with the soldier's burial
00:10:15 If there's anything left to bury
00:10:17 It goes on
00:10:19 It permeates like ripples through a pond
00:10:21 Or a sound wave into space
00:10:23 For infinity
00:10:24 I can tell you with experience
00:10:26 That those wounds still exist
00:10:27 And those scars still ache
00:10:29 For a lot of people
00:10:31 And there's never been an explanation. There's never been an apology. There's never been justification. We're just left to live with the ruin of all of that. Our politicians don't care. They don't care about the Canadian people. They care about themselves. They care about their careers. They care about their ambitions.
00:10:54 what their wikipedia entry says about them if the media paints them in a good light if they feel
00:10:59 sufficiently worshipped and important that's what they care about i know intimately the damage it
00:11:06 does when a mother and father has to bury their son i've seen it and i thank god every day that
00:11:12 my family was spared that fate for a lie of a war that amounted to nothing more than white collar
00:11:20 crime and political theater
00:11:22 as you may be able to imagine
00:11:25 I feel a kinship of sorts
00:11:29 with the Canadian people
00:11:30 and around the world
00:11:31 who have lost
00:11:33 children, parents
00:11:35 brothers, sisters
00:11:36 their loved ones
00:11:37 because of a lie
00:11:40 because of cowardice
00:11:43 because of weakness
00:11:45 because of selfish ambition
00:11:47 ego and greed
00:11:49 they told us they told everybody among their many failures it was safe and effective didn't they
00:11:58 and wasn't it safe and effective not only was it safe and effective it was required if you wanted
00:12:05 to keep your job if you plan to keep feeding your family if you wanted to travel outside the
00:12:10 boundaries of this wonderful place you wanted to see your loved ones you want to participate
00:12:16 in public life if you wanted to have
00:12:18 any dignity as a human being
00:12:20 if you wanted to go to the gym if you wanted to go
00:12:22 to the beach or if you wanted
00:12:24 to play hockey
00:12:26 not everybody was so lucky
00:12:30 this is
00:12:36 Sean Hartman
00:12:36 he would be 22 years old today
00:12:40 he could
00:12:42 have even had a son of his own by now
00:12:44 really but he'll never get to be older than 17 because like most canadian boys he wanted to play
00:12:52 hockey he went without his father's knowledge spurned on by the bullying threats and gaslighting
00:13:01 of politicians and media to receive this critically necessary medical intervention
00:13:07 An experimental mRNA gene therapy injection.
00:13:13 Not long after, his father, Dan Hartman, woke up one morning to find his only son lifeless.
00:13:21 An independent autopsy in courts confirmed the injection was responsible for his death.
00:13:28 And Mr. Hartman grieves to this day.
00:13:31 He grieves to this day, and he won't let anyone forget, nor should he.
00:13:35 now he works tirelessly to get answers and justice not only for his son but for the literally
00:13:41 countless number of canadians that health canada refuses to track or disclose the numbers
00:13:47 of how many were harmed by this crime perplexing isn't it for a government that so frequently
00:13:53 grandstands its focus and intent on public safety if it saves just one life
00:14:01 their commitment to avoiding this very real situation of rapidly deteriorating public health
00:14:07 is more than two-faced it's complicity i know people will mute mr hartman's accounts and block
00:14:15 his posts because they don't want to see it they don't want to be brought down by it
00:14:19 i'm familiar with this behavior i know what it's like to live with a pain that most people
00:14:25 don't want to recognize or acknowledge they'd rather not look at it and how exhausting is it
00:14:33 when the answers aren't forthcoming you'll see in public and in private some others will say that
00:14:39 oh he needs to just move on but mr hartman can't move on how can he there has been no justice there
00:14:48 has been no answers in his mind and in the opinion of many others including medical professionals
00:14:54 His son was murdered by the state, by politicians, by the media, by a runaway mob of unaccountable, hysterical demons who now, confirming what many of us already knew, unquestioningly followed the lead of the now infamous, disgraced Dr. Death, Anthony Fauci.
00:15:14 Fauci the mouthpiece who leaned on the credibility of the CDC a premier world
00:15:20 organization the center for disease control prevention readiness instead he was wholly
00:15:26 entirely focused on enriching himself and inflating his ego at the expense of everyone
00:15:32 in America and around the world who followed America's lead he organized his taxpayer funded
00:15:38 staff to promote himself for cash awards and perks in private while publicly presenting himself as 0.63
00:15:46 some sort of hero to the ignorant frightened masses whom he took full advantage of after 0.82
00:15:52 everything that's happened. Trust the science is now pleading the fifth. He refuses to answer any 0.88
00:16:01 questions to Congress now that the contents of his diary, a more horrific and despicable display
00:16:07 of narcissism, you will be challenged to find a better example of. How many Canadian authorities
00:16:15 and experts were also using their authority and station to cash in? Unsurprisingly, thus far,
00:16:23 no one in politics or media seems particularly interested in investigating themselves.
00:16:29 If no one outside of yourself ever acknowledges pain you are experiencing,
00:16:34 there is an internal disconnect between you and what you are feeling in the world around you
00:16:41 like it it's not happening at all you're being gaslit you stay stuck you can't process what
00:16:48 happened because what did happen are you crazy is it your imagination because judging by everyone
00:16:55 in authority in canada nothing happened nothing has happened at all everything is normal and it
00:17:01 has been normal we're now even seeing some trying to insist the lockdowns the segregation abuse
00:17:08 the routine day-to-day manipulation and extreme excessively
00:17:13 disgusting abuses of human dignity and our rights and charter they didn't happen at all actually 0.96
00:17:20 deny deny deny to the end is the last refuge of a liar who is too much of a coward to confront
00:17:29 the reality of what they've done or who they really are.
00:17:34 Personally, I did the best that I could with what I had all those years to comfort, support,
00:17:41 and encourage people to stick together and not let the abusers manipulate them.
00:17:45 So I have no personal guilt there, but it's not the people you're successful in helping
00:17:54 or protecting that you think about,
00:17:56 it's the ones that you couldn't.
00:18:01 It's been over six years now
00:18:03 since that nightmare began
00:18:04 and the damage it caused
00:18:05 is still with us.
00:18:08 It's still ongoing.
00:18:09 And it's still hurting people today.
00:18:19 I want to say something
00:18:20 that they're all too afraid to say.
00:18:24 And they aren't man enough to say.
00:18:27 And it needs to be said.
00:18:30 It needs to be acknowledged by someone. 0.99
00:18:34 God damn it. 0.98
00:18:36 So please, 0.99
00:18:38 if you'll indulge me for a second,
00:18:41 it is real.
00:18:45 It did happen.
00:18:48 You are not crazy.
00:18:52 I'm sorry.
00:18:55 I'm sorry that any of this happened to you.
00:18:58 You didn't ask for this.
00:18:59 You didn't deserve this.
00:19:01 And it's not your fault.
00:19:04 It's not your fault.
00:19:07 It's theirs.
00:19:13 This isn't about you. 0.84
00:19:14 This isn't about our future.
00:19:16 This isn't about the country.
00:19:17 For them, this is about making money, 0.98
00:19:21 building their ego, selfish, greedy,
00:19:24 They're paid more than they've ever been.
00:19:26 They vote to give themselves pay raises.
00:19:29 They receive more benefits in a single year to compensate travel, housing, and meals than the average Canadian worker makes in a year.
00:19:38 Backbench rookie, silent and compliant members of Parliament can take upwards of $50,000 to $100,000 in those benefits on top of their salary of $217,000.
00:19:49 All told, they make well over triple the average person that they claim to represent.
00:19:57 They didn't have to suffer these indignities and these betrayals.
00:20:02 They were busy administering them while enjoying their newfound addiction to power.
00:20:06 They laughed and they spit in our faces,
00:20:09 drunk on that power and didn't consider there would ever possibly be a hangover.
00:20:14 They weren't interested in investigating for answers.
00:20:19 To what's going on with the vaccine and the side effects, the injuries, the blood clots, the blindness, the paralysis, the exploding rates of cancer, the sudden coincidences.
00:20:31 Most are still pretending that this isn't happening, but it is happening.
00:20:35 Is there anyone left among us whose families have not been touched by a sudden illness, suddenly very sick or suddenly very dead?
00:20:43 and only now with too many early graves in the rearview mirror do they begin to reluctantly
00:20:53 broach the subject not because it was always the right thing to do but because the conservative
00:20:57 party is crumbling to dust and searching for any issue they can cling to to stem the bleeding
00:21:04 and find some relevance but they won't touch any of the real major bleeds
00:21:09 why would they they themselves were willing participants in the cutting
00:21:15 birth rates are declining and there's more than just a few pieces of evidence to suggest
00:21:21 you know like a spike in infant mortality that this issue is at least at the very least
00:21:27 worth looking into but be warned if you're a police officer looking into that abnormal spike
00:21:34 of infant deaths
00:21:36 like Detective Helen Gruse,
00:21:39 you may find yourself being chastised,
00:21:40 targeted, slandered, and out of a job
00:21:42 while being investigated yourself.
00:21:45 More resources were dedicated
00:21:46 to persecuting Helen
00:21:47 than were ever allocated into finding out
00:21:50 why so many people who should be alive
00:21:53 are dead!
00:21:58 Public Safety Canada
00:21:59 heard it work again
00:22:01 at their very well-paying jobs.
00:22:04 Great job, guys.
00:22:05 You're doing great.
00:22:07 I myself was investigated by the RCMP,
00:22:10 the Saskatoon Police, the Halifax Police,
00:22:12 the Ontario Provincial Police,
00:22:14 CSIS and presumably more for years
00:22:17 and ongoing for talking.
00:22:20 Even the Five Eyes intelligence community
00:22:21 was briefed about how dangerous I am.
00:22:24 A national warrant, denied bail,
00:22:27 treated like a terrorist,
00:22:29 treated like a criminal for talking.
00:22:31 charged with crimes that didn't take place and here yet we have ample evidence that something
00:22:39 is happening and something is very wrong in the national health profile of the Canadian population
00:22:45 where are our top doctors I didn't realize there was a formal competitive ranking system by the
00:22:52 way for doctors where is everyone's hero and Fauci acolyte Teresa Tam at one point you couldn't get
00:23:00 out of your face or ear and now there was never a formal announcement to the end of the COVID era
00:23:10 no declaration on the normalization of our day-to-day they just quietly slowly and then
00:23:15 very quickly ran away cash in hand like they just robbed the bank and now when we're questioned
00:23:22 about it I don't have any idea what you're referring to I don't know I plead the fifth 0.79
00:23:27 we're finding more and more connections between the canadian government and the chinese communist
00:23:34 party aren't we but we're not finding any reconciliation validation any investigation
00:23:41 they don't respect us enough to bother even faking insincere words of support
00:23:47 because they're guilty they'll always apologize for something that someone else has done
00:23:54 but never for themselves it's fake it's as fake as they are and it's too late for words
00:24:00 which brings me to the main reason i'm speaking to you now tonight this isn't
00:24:08 a problem that's unique to canada it's consistent all over the european world 0.83
00:24:15 some say that politics is just reality tv entertainment for ugly people
00:24:19 it's a false dichotomy
00:24:24 one that has devolved
00:24:26 into the political theater of left and right
00:24:29 the left wing and the right wing
00:24:32 the liberals and the conservatives
00:24:33 the democrats and the republicans
00:24:34 these are different like
00:24:38 hockey franchises are different
00:24:40 the boston bruins and the new york rangers
00:24:42 what's really the difference
00:24:44 they've got different colored costumes on
00:24:47 but they can trade themselves back and forth
00:24:49 between rival teams, rival companies,
00:24:51 hire and fire each other's rival employees.
00:24:55 Today, whether we like it or not,
00:24:58 all of us are engaged in a spiritual war.
00:25:04 Labels, names, and brands are all surface level and superficial.
00:25:09 The spirit goes deep to the core of a person
00:25:11 where their true character is,
00:25:13 not the color of an election sign.
00:25:15 the politicians pose to represent one side resisting the other the truth the light against
00:25:22 darkness but on the inside they're the same dark and empty like an abandoned shipping container
00:25:31 and it is a very sad thing that many of the good-spirited hard-working and honest 1.00
00:25:37 canadian people that count themselves as conservatives have only this limp toothless 0.95
00:25:43 imposter of a party filled with foreigners and led by craven vampires to speak for them 1.00
00:25:48 there's nothing canadian about them and i pity their supporters they deserve much better 0.96
00:25:56 the conservative party are the kinds of people who we've seen will stand up and say yes
00:26:03 canada all of this lunacy disrespect and abuse that you've endured under the treacherous and
00:26:09 insidious liberal party for more than 10 years must end. I will be your voice, and I will stand
00:26:17 in opposition to them in Ottawa on your behalf if you vote for me.
00:26:28 And so they did. Many people did vote for them, and what happened?
00:26:33 what happened when it became clear to these parasites that they had chosen the losing side 0.89
00:26:42 of course they weren't bribed or pressured or promised anything in that way that would be 0.72
00:26:47 illegal so instead what happened allegedly according to them was something uh like this
00:26:53 oh canada i'm so sorry actually i've been gravely mistaken it turns out that i have in fact
00:27:04 drastically miscalculated and when i looked in the mirror i saw a completely different person
00:27:09 than i thought i was i know that i said that i heard your cries and your suffering
00:27:16 and that i understood and i'd be your voice and champion and all that stuff
00:27:21 i agreed to defend your way of life from you know a malevolent force on our lives but as it turns out
00:27:29 i have it completely backwards it's ottawa i want to be the voice for against you because well
00:27:37 they have bags of money and pension promises for me so i'm a liberal now and after this of course
00:27:44 truthful sincere realization that i've had in my come to satan moment that i'm actually in support
00:27:50 of the very swine you were desperate to be rid of. So instead of resign with a shred of integrity
00:27:55 and run again for the other side under the proper banners and colors, I will just walk over to the
00:28:02 other team and that I pretended to oppose. I took advantage of your desperation and pain. I'll be
00:28:07 keeping your money, keeping this pension, keeping this elevated station in life. It never meant
00:28:11 anything. It was never real. I never really cared about you. This is the kind of person
00:28:21 that passed for a leader, a community leader in the conservative party.
00:28:31 That's our democracy they're so concerned about. That's Canadian democracy,
00:28:35 that they proved themselves with their own selfishness and their own greed. They proved
00:28:40 that your choices are an illusion.
00:28:44 It doesn't matter.
00:28:45 It doesn't exist.
00:28:47 There is no real difference
00:28:49 between the so-called left and right.
00:28:51 Where it matters,
00:28:53 in here.
00:28:56 The politicians in this country are not leaders.
00:28:59 They're middle management at best.
00:29:01 They're light bulbs that when they burn out
00:29:03 after four years to eight years,
00:29:05 maybe 10 to 12 if they're lucky,
00:29:07 they get replaced by a superficially different
00:29:10 but functionally identical light bulb.
00:29:15 People do get tired of them.
00:29:17 They burn out.
00:29:18 So we just replace them and it restarts the clock.
00:29:21 The pressure valve is temporarily released
00:29:22 and for a time the people can lie to themselves
00:29:24 and go back to normal.
00:29:27 Everything's going to be fine now
00:29:28 because we've swapped out the light bulb
00:29:30 on the nightlight.
00:29:32 Now we can go back to sleep.
00:29:35 We are living under an unaccountable,
00:29:39 unchecked and illegitimate tyranny this is not democracy it is a cynical joke
00:29:46 it is pretend the canadian people have no say in canada we are increasingly more and more forced
00:29:54 to march to the beat and tune of foreign drums from china india and israel and anyone else with
00:30:00 a few spare amazon prime subscriptions that buys our cheap politicians while the problematic white
00:30:07 supremacist sound of our grandfather's trumpets and bagpipes fades away.
00:30:15 The average Canadian who does not have the time and motivation that I've had to investigate and
00:30:21 examine this with the same kind of attention to detail that I was trained to take to war.
00:30:25 They're justifiably too busy trying to survive from one meal to the next,
00:30:30 hang on to their faster and faster disappearing employment, safety, and quality of life.
00:30:34 to have very much left in the tank at the end of the day.
00:30:39 Too many still blindly trust and believe that our system is legitimate,
00:30:43 that there is an unpopular government that no one wants around,
00:30:47 so what to do?
00:30:48 Well, you throw your support behind the other team.
00:30:51 Blue tie, red tie, red tie, blue tie.
00:30:55 Sometimes we'll even throw in an orange tie for fun,
00:30:57 or maybe we'll have Elizabeth May dance for you 0.99
00:30:59 with tequila bottles in both hands.
00:31:01 to the burned out and overwhelmed person who doesn't know any better it makes sense
00:31:08 if this red team party is horrendous and this blue one agrees with me that they are horrendous 0.90
00:31:15 wants to get rid of them and they'll take over and get rid of them so shouldn't we support them 0.99
00:31:22 in doing so shouldn't we doesn't that just make sense this whole time when they themselves were
00:31:29 right there we are all in this together erin o'toole stood right there with the rest of them
00:31:37 all of the party in lockstep yes stay home stay safe mrs polyev enthusiastically reminded everyone 0.99
00:31:44 to hashtag stay the fuck home she's swearing at you she's demanding it she's angry do what you're 0.99
00:31:52 told stay the fuck home or else what or else you can't play hockey kid 1.00
00:31:58 is that what you mean they had every opportunity to say something make a real stand and face the 0.99
00:32:09 consequences as millions of canadians did they chose not to they chose the easy comfortable road
00:32:15 what do these totally different political clubs differ on it's not the carbon tax it's not the
00:32:23 lgbtqqip2saa indoctrination it's not the drag queen story time it's not the war in iran it's
00:32:31 not the war in ukraine it's not any war they love war they love every war that they don't have to 0.96
00:32:35 fight themselves they love killing people they love sending our weapons our soldiers and our 0.75
00:32:41 hard-earned treasure, our hopes and dreams and our future, off to the four corners of the world.
00:32:51 And then so they can stand up on television and lecture us about courage and sacrifice
00:32:56 so that they can fatten their egos to match their bank accounts.
00:33:01 They love their migrants. They love mass immigration. They love the new built-back 0.94
00:33:06 better at Canada and call anyone who wants to go home a racist, a monster, a terrorist,
00:33:12 and they have the audacity to call us traitors. For years, the conservative loyalist diehards
00:33:18 mocked relentlessly, Mr. Dress Up, Trudeau's fetish for wearing an alien costume and pandering
00:33:23 to foreigners. Pierre Polyev has dressed up, sang, and danced for Indian, Chinese, and Jewish money
00:33:33 as much or more than trudeau ever did and he's only the opposition leader 0.93
00:33:39 they will laughably stand there in their cheap suits hand-stitched in threads of hypocrisy and
00:33:47 betrayal and with a straight face attempt to lay claim to what is and what is not canadian
00:33:55 no no no no no no we are the people of this nation we are canada we were not paid and
00:34:06 entrusted to manage the future to make decisions on behalf of the nation for that future in our
00:34:12 collective interests i was never given the responsibility or paid to do so neither were
00:34:17 any of the people watching you were and you are the politicians they make over three times the
00:34:25 amount that the average joe does and why shouldn't they they're doing such a good job aren't they
00:34:30 there's some of the highest paid politicians on earth they have a generous pension that just
00:34:34 after six years of service while policemen firemen soldiers they need to give 25 years
00:34:41 or more in exchange for a much less generous one. The overwhelming majority of Canadians will never
00:34:48 come within throwing distance to the kinds of benefits, pay, pensions, and standard of living 1.00
00:34:53 that these slugs enjoy. And to do what exactly? Agree with each other. Trade shirts. All day, 1.00
00:35:02 every day, pretend to fight over inconsequential nonsense like bike lanes, minor disagreements
00:35:08 and how best to implement the progress of an agenda that was handed down to them
00:35:12 by unelected ruling elite at Bilderberg, Davos, the WEF, and the devil himself.
00:35:19 When is the last time that you ever heard a public conversation or an argument,
00:35:25 a debate, in that godforsaken building,
00:35:28 between any of them that ever amounted to anything at all?
00:35:32 Online safety bills, criminalizing speech, thought and expression,
00:35:35 confiscation of firearms taking political prisoners criminalizing dissent continues unopposed
00:35:41 they don't have the stones to face it so instead they argue the minutiae of who spent more money
00:35:47 on champagne and liquor bottles as they flew around the world mortgaging our future
00:35:51 lost in a storm many look for some kind of landmark um stability familiarity to reorient
00:36:01 themselves so they look back at the harper era and say see when the conservatives were in charge
00:36:07 everything was so much better well i have a memory and it still works and i remember the country
00:36:14 saying we have to get harper out we got to get harper out there was unreasonable detention and
00:36:20 arrest without cause it's made law government spying on citizens implementing police state
00:36:24 bills that the liberals are now wielding and treating protesters not as concerned citizens
00:36:29 but as potential terrorists, all of that began with the Harper regime.
00:36:35 I had this conversation with my father in our kitchen one day,
00:36:37 and he said, all my life, I've been voting somebody out.
00:36:44 Vote them out. We've got to get them out.
00:36:48 For once, I would just love to vote somebody in.
00:36:54 We aren't permitted to have real options.
00:36:56 we're not permitted to have people that we want to support we're forced to choose between bad and
00:37:03 worse they say better the devil you know it's better than that it could be worse at least it's
00:37:08 not this is a slave mentality sure it can be worse but why is that your default it can also
00:37:17 always be better too when did we stop trying when did we stop looking up
00:37:22 this is the nation of johnny mcdonald this is the nation that resisted american conquest twice
00:37:30 that carved out a railway from the atlantic to the pacific through the maritimes through
00:37:36 quebec and ontario through the prairies and through the rocky mountains
00:37:39 we overcame this geographical challenge and every inch of this place has to offer
00:37:45 and before both world wars did you know that our military was barely
00:37:49 a shambling token scarecrow of a force but we managed to produce something that competed with
00:37:56 and outperformed the best in the world when Halifax was destroyed by an explosion so enormous
00:38:04 that it would only be surpassed decades later by the atomic bombing of Japan we just rebuilt it
00:38:13 now those mighty people are reduced to voicing their legitimate grievances
00:38:19 with a piece of paper and a pencil we vote in pencil in this country
00:38:24 you can't write your high school exams in pencil because we can't risk or trust anyone not to cheat
00:38:30 we have standards but you can certainly vote with pencil in a federal election with sweeping
00:38:38 consequences that will affect generations to come. Mail-in ballots, too. Gee, where did you get that
00:38:44 idea? In the United States, by chance. How legitimate are the elections in this country?
00:38:51 Is it still legal to ask? I'm not certain that they are. We often find tens of thousands of
00:38:58 ballots uncounted, damaged, misplaced in numbers that would have altered the outcome.
00:39:04 Discrepancies are everywhere.
00:39:05 Volunteer scrutineers, some who we know personally,
00:39:08 successfully applied and were able to pose as a representative
00:39:11 from every party simultaneously in the same polling station.
00:39:17 Friends of mine have had the pleasure of discovering that
00:39:20 they, just like some of the conservative politicians have recently discovered,
00:39:25 they've actually been liberals this whole time.
00:39:31 Imagine that.
00:39:32 surprise, my friend Matthew decided to get engaged in the electoral process after decades of apathy.
00:39:44 He thought, you know what, I'm going to take a stand and I'm going to get involved. It's the
00:39:48 least I can do. I'm going to go down there and do that. I'm going to get involved in the civic
00:39:52 practice of Canadian democracy. But it turned out that he'd actually already been voting liberal
00:39:59 for years. He was told, I'm sorry, Mr. Copeland of New Brunswick. It appears you've already voted.
00:40:08 How much more of this is going on? Has anyone looked? Can anyone look? Or is that criminal
00:40:14 hate speech as well? We've seen widespread voter fraud in the United States, and we believe
00:40:20 that this can't be happening here. We're the same infamous Dominion voting machines used
00:40:28 that, if you recall, had a slight hiccup of a six-hour delay
00:40:32 during the conservative leadership vote
00:40:33 that placed Aaron O'Toole in charge
00:40:35 after a record number of mail-in ballots.
00:40:40 This is a $2 trillion economy.
00:40:42 Do you think criminals and liars aren't interested
00:40:44 in stealing what we have?
00:40:46 Of course they are.
00:40:48 Of course it's happening.
00:40:50 Especially with the blinding buffoonery of CESIS protecting us
00:40:53 who have already demonstrated that they can't determine
00:40:57 the difference between a goat figurine and Abu al-Baghdadi. Pick up your crayon, Canada,
00:41:08 and choose one of these terrible options. This is the best we have to offer, so pick one or 0.96
00:41:12 shove it up your nose and shut up about it. I reject your premise, but I will pretend for a 0.98
00:41:23 moment that this is on the up and up and as sick and twisted as canada has become it would never
00:41:29 meddle with the sacred religious practice of moving that would be blasphemy
00:41:35 the conservative party certainly isn't shy about their new friends and identifiable groups
00:41:44 that it's now illegal to criticize from 2006 to 2015 the temporary foreign workers program
00:41:51 was significantly expanded and helped employers take advantage of the low-skill labor market.
00:41:59 Advertising requirements were shortened,
00:42:01 so employers could advertise for jobs as little as one or two weeks
00:42:05 before applying for the subsidized by you, the Canadian taxpayer,
00:42:10 discounted foreign workers. 0.99
00:42:12 Oh, there's just no Canadians that want to work. 0.97
00:42:14 We looked high and low. 1.00
00:42:15 Sure you did, Tim Hortons.
00:42:17 they approved the elmo process offering faster approvals for businesses to get foreign workers
00:42:23 rules on wages were relaxed allowing pay below the standard wage and predictably numbers rose
00:42:30 sharply temporary work permits doubled and approved positions doubled between the mid-2000s
00:42:38 and 2012 the growth impacted sectors most prominently like food service hospitality and
00:42:46 retail, entry-level jobs that retirees or Canadian youth had always utilized to enter
00:42:52 the workforce. The faces of that cute girl from school or friendly 60-year-old grandmother
00:42:57 in those shops and services we all remember are gone in 2026. And it was Harper's conservatives
00:43:03 that opened the door for the Liberal Party. Harper approved the China National Offshore
00:43:10 Oil Corporation takeover of Nixon, a major Canadian energy company, the first of many.
00:43:16 to be taken by china beginning of things to come then there was the unthinkable
00:43:21 betrayal and backstabbing of the canadian veteran in 2006 just as combat operations were
00:43:28 to ramp up in afghanistan and carrying with it a marked increase in fighting and casualties of
00:43:33 course in kandahar province the cpc saw to it to implement the new veterans charter they replaced
00:43:41 the long-held traditional system of lifelong disability pensions for pain and suffering
00:43:45 With one-time lump sum awards, critics said this would come with a range of a 30 to 90% reduction in long-term support funding.
00:43:57 Fiscally responsible.
00:43:59 Veterans Affairs offices were closed in Sydney, Cornerbrook, Charlottetown, Thunder Bay, Windsor, Brandon, Saskatoon, Kelowna, and Prince George.
00:44:06 And on top of that, they fired over a quarter of the staff.
00:44:11 At a time when they were and are now.
00:44:15 needed more than ever since the korean war hundreds of millions and potentially billions
00:44:20 in some reports and funding meant to go to veterans was not spent and instead returned to
00:44:27 ottawa's pockets
00:44:29 the conservators wanted to please their zionist masters in america and israel and committed our 0.96
00:44:36 men deeper and deeper into sustained combat operations for a quagmire of a war that had 0.98
00:44:41 no clear objectives and no obvious victory conditions they wanted to look like a big
00:44:46 tough wartime serious business government they were happy to make someone else do the fighting
00:44:53 and dying they just didn't want to pay the bill for it pulling the plug on funding had a severe
00:45:00 impact on our overall ability to support our soldiers go ahead ignore it if you want but the
00:45:06 undeniable truth is the conservative party is responsible for getting more of our soldiers
00:45:12 killed on and off the battlefield than the liberals ever have the incoming safety laws
00:45:19 that threaten to kill free speech and free expression in canada forever will be a tough
00:45:23 hill to climb and getting repealed since the conservatives left an unprecedented 22 seats in
00:45:28 the senate unfilled that they knew full well would be taken advantage of by the liberal party
00:45:32 to stack with activists and guess what they did exactly that
00:45:36 they failed in other words
00:45:42 they've been doing nothing but failing since 1965 and it's been a very very long time
00:45:48 since the will or interest of the canadian people has been served in this country
00:45:52 there has been rhetoric focused on restoring freedom and giving canadians back control of
00:45:58 their lives but the uncomforting words what's happened has any of it come true
00:46:03 the typical canadian worker labors for 30 days off a year while these overpaid bloated vampires
00:46:13 enjoy 10 to 13 weeks off for summer six to eight weeks off for christmas another one to two weeks
00:46:18 off for break in the spring and that's of course assuming they don't have an off year like in 2025
00:46:23 where in parliament only sat for 72 whole days the lowest in over 80 years
00:46:29 at a time when the nation is very obviously coming apart at the seams all around us
00:46:34 the performance standards of the toronto maple leafs are higher than that of our elected officials
00:46:40 and leaders the politicians have no such standard to live up to no pressure to perform they can fail
00:46:47 and fail and fail again and then they can come back for another pay raise while encouraging you
00:46:53 to cheer for how well they failed this year or how much better they failed this year than last year
00:46:59 they call themselves the conservative party but
00:47:02 what have they conserved can they tell you can they tell themselves
00:47:09 in our time of need and national crisis when canadians led the world
00:47:16 in pushing back and saying, no, it was the Canadian people who made a stand. Politicians
00:47:22 didn't do that. They had absolutely nothing to do with that. They threw some crumbs and played 0.99
00:47:29 it safe. Meek, mild, barely there. Messages of support so thin and so vague. You're not even
00:47:35 sure what you heard. What would have been better, Conservative Party, than empty words and photo
00:47:43 ops for your portfolios would have been if your caucus had gotten off of your fat asses walked 0.99
00:47:49 outside of the building to where the biggest demonstration by Canadians in the nation's 0.99
00:47:53 history was taking place and stood in an extended line arm in arm in front in front of the protesters
00:48:02 stand between them and the liberal thugs that Ottawa had dispatched to hurt them and didn't
00:48:09 day? To beat them with guns, trample them with horses, freeze their bank accounts, and take 0.99
00:48:13 political prisoners for thought crimes, which is still happening. Are they the opposition to the
00:48:22 liberal tyranny, or aren't they? Are they representatives of our communities, or aren't
00:48:28 they? Are they the leaders of our people, or aren't they? They wouldn't dare. They wouldn't
00:48:36 dare risk their pension and their status while Canadians, truckers, risked and lost their
00:48:43 businesses, their licenses, their livelihoods, their freedom. Another concession, another
00:48:51 need taken by the Conservative Party, who have succeeded in conserving nothing but themselves.
00:49:01 Canada has been forced to accept a dramatically reduced standard of living. They've lost jobs
00:49:06 and income, their career path, everything they've trained and worked hard for. Five,
00:49:10 10, 15 years, longer, all down the toilet, all gone.
00:49:14 But hey, let's not bother any of them with that right now.
00:49:18 They're on vacation. Again.
00:49:24 Deeds, not words.
00:49:27 I see a lot of words. I don't see any real deeds. Just one failure
00:49:30 after another. One excuse that follows the next.
00:49:33 which brings me to
00:49:37 Alberta
00:49:38 Alberta
00:49:44 how did it come to this
00:49:49 you see
00:49:51 people love a good story
00:49:53 we don't just love them
00:49:55 we need them
00:49:56 our society
00:49:57 our imaginations
00:49:59 our ideas
00:50:00 our values
00:50:00 our hopes
00:50:01 our fears
00:50:01 dreams
00:50:02 nightmares
00:50:03 Since we were children and going back centuries, stories were how we learned about the world and how we learned about ourselves.
00:50:11 It's how our memories were retained, how our identities were shaped and passed on.
00:50:18 When the last pages have been written, our story is what defines who we were and who we were not.
00:50:28 and tells our children how they got here,
00:50:32 who they are, where they could go,
00:50:35 and what's possible.
00:50:38 Never underestimate the value and power of a good story.
00:50:43 And at this point in the story, we have Alberta,
00:50:47 an economic engine, the oil fields, energy sector,
00:50:52 Alberta beef on the prairies, steel toes and hard hats,
00:50:56 pickup trucks and grid dirt roads.
00:50:58 A large contingent of the convoy to Ottawa came from Alberta in those pickup trucks.
00:51:04 They drove for days through the snow and ice to join their brothers and sisters from around the country,
00:51:09 standing in defiance and support on the doorstep of the tumor, the lair of deceit and corruption,
00:51:16 their vehicles and themselves proudly decorated in Canadian flags.
00:51:26 But it didn't go the way that many had hoped. 0.97
00:51:28 Despite the polite request from the Canadian people for Ottawa to kindly check itself, the liars and cheats continued lying and cheating.
00:51:40 The protest was violently subdued by thugs, bank accounts and businesses were seized by the state, and its most prominent national voices were taken as political prisoners, myself included.
00:51:50 In a toxic and an abusive relationship where the victim is being routinely manipulated, lied to, taken advantage of, and disrespected, would you call them unreasonable for just thinking out loud that maybe it's time to consider ending the relationship?
00:52:08 or ending an abusive, sadistic stepfather's influence on your life
00:52:19 makes it unbearable, a life without dignity, a life without a future?
00:52:23 Would it be crazy for someone living under some kind of monster
00:52:27 of a stepfather like that to say as soon as they leave for work,
00:52:31 disappear around the corner, I'll just, I'll start packing.
00:52:35 I'll pack everything, just get in the car, just leave, just leave,
00:52:37 just go anywhere, doesn't matter, but I have to get the hell out of here now, today.
00:52:47 That thinking is not driven by ambition, vision, an uplifting spirit, or even just cold pragmatism.
00:52:56 It's driven by pain, disrespect, and abuse.
00:53:05 Am I wrong?
00:53:07 some of those same people who wore their national pride like a cape
00:53:12 now reject and spit on that same symbol,
00:53:16 the same kind of veiled disappointment that any heartbroken person does.
00:53:20 They watched the electoral map of the nation on television
00:53:25 bleed red everywhere east of Saskatchewan.
00:53:30 And in their exhaustion and desperation,
00:53:33 After the convoy and the years of exploitation and mockery, they did what everybody does when they feel like they aren't seen, they aren't heard, and they aren't appreciated.
00:53:45 They withdraw inward, they distance themselves, and they start to see everyone outside as a potential enemy.
00:53:52 It's just easier.
00:53:54 It's a survival mechanism to simplify the situation so that you can move toward some form of definitive action
00:54:00 that might lift you out of a seemingly endless and inescapable punishment.
00:54:08 Their leaders and voices began to see themselves as outsiders in their own country.
00:54:15 While some of those voices are being directed by foreign agents south of the border and elsewhere,
00:54:20 there are people who stand to benefit from prying Alberta out of Canada.
00:54:23 and none of them are Canadian or Albertan.
00:54:29 But why not just leave?
00:54:31 What should stop you?
00:54:33 You're possibly the largest,
00:54:36 cohesive centralization of the Canadian people.
00:54:39 You have the economic engine,
00:54:41 the resources, the manpower to stay afloat.
00:54:44 You have good relationships in the United States to help you.
00:54:47 Of all the provinces,
00:54:50 you might have the best chance to escape
00:54:52 And it might be true that of all the provinces, you could be the strongest one.
00:54:58 So why not?
00:55:00 Why not pack your bags and get away from this abusive monster and leave this house forever?
00:55:14 A long time ago, when I was a young man, I was in the infantry. 0.53
00:55:20 I was very new.
00:55:22 I wasn't more than 130 pounds, and we were several hours into a very long forced march.
00:55:28 I was carrying one of the heavier machine guns. 0.64
00:55:31 The extra ammunition, the spare barrels, it sucked.
00:55:34 I had significant blistering on both feet in brand new boots that I hadn't worked in.
00:55:39 I often like to learn the hard way.
00:55:42 I burned my hand on a gun barrel the previous day.
00:55:45 The weight of my helmet even began to make it painful of a chore for my neck
00:55:49 to keep my head lifted up.
00:55:52 from the ground. Everything hurt. My legs felt held down by gravity like they were underwater
00:55:59 with every step. I was carrying almost as much as I weighed. I today still have a lingering back
00:56:05 injury from that very March. I was physically suffering more than I ever had in my young life
00:56:12 to that point. I was beginning to really internally panic because there was no end in sight.
00:56:18 I had no way of knowing how much longer this would continue.
00:56:24 We'd just been in the field for weeks, running attack exercises, digging defenses, perimeter patrols,
00:56:29 and fending off imaginary attackers throughout the night.
00:56:35 And so in my pain and sleep-deprived stupor, all I could do was continue to stumble forward and curse my eye.
00:56:46 one of the smallest guys in the platoon
00:56:49 is carrying the heaviest gear.
00:56:52 Why me?
00:56:56 Because, private,
00:56:59 if you can't do the hardest parts of this job
00:57:02 in bad conditions on the worst day of your life,
00:57:07 then you cannot do this job.
00:57:13 And it's not to deny you or hold you back
00:57:15 is to protect the army
00:57:18 and to protect you.
00:57:26 I wanted so badly
00:57:28 to be a soldier my whole life.
00:57:31 It felt like my future and my dream
00:57:33 was just passing through my hands.
00:57:37 If I didn't complete this march,
00:57:39 I'd be sent home as a failure.
00:57:45 That early morning in the light rain on a dirt road in August, almost 23 years ago to the day, was my new standard of hell.
00:58:00 I am a stubborn guy, the son of a Scottishman's bloodline, but I wasn't the only one suffering or the only one carrying an outsized amount of gear.
00:58:09 There were two other men, one several ranks ahead of me, and there was one several ranks behind.
00:58:16 The one behind me, he was struggling badly to the point of tears.
00:58:21 Another frail kid from St. John, New Brunswick.
00:58:24 The man in front of me was a 25-year-old former CFL player from Ontario.
00:58:30 He was 6'4 and a 230-pound machine whose physical endurance and power was never in question.
00:58:36 and it's moments like those that I'll forever be grateful for that taught me so much about
00:58:43 life, what it means to be Canadian, and I hope that you'll appreciate it too.
00:58:51 Because you see, we weren't just being tested as individuals.
00:58:54 The Army, in every piece down to the smallest unit, is a team. It needs to be tightly bonded,
00:59:00 more like family if it will have any hope of facing the horrors the strain the stress
00:59:06 the fear and the intensity of combat and survive the enemy is too big and can only be overcome
00:59:11 together as a unit no one man makes an army or a family and no army or family is effective
00:59:19 and at its best if it's missing pieces of itself the better the team works together the better the
00:59:26 individuals in that team become. The better the individuals become, the better the team works
00:59:31 together. It's a symbiotic feedback loop of investing your own strength and spirit into the
00:59:37 whole that you can then all draw upon together. That CFL player could hear the suffering behind
00:59:49 him. He kept looking back. A lot of us did. And he later revealed to me that he didn't much enjoy
00:59:54 that long walk himself, but there was something that he knew that I could see in his eyes
01:00:00 every time he looked behind him. He knew that this man at the back was not going to make
01:00:07 it, and he also knew that he was the strongest guy we had. We were all exhausted and doing
01:00:17 our best. Tough guy, fake tough guy faces when I watched him step out of the ranks to
01:00:23 the side of the road. He stopped walking as if he was giving up. We made eye contact as I walked
01:00:31 past him. He had blue eyes. He looked firmly resolved, almost angry. I thought maybe he'd
01:00:40 gotten injured or something. And I couldn't see what was happening behind me, but I could hear it.
01:00:47 come on buddy I got you come on buddy here give me that give me that too yeah it's okay it's okay
01:00:56 man here take this take mine yeah hey hey hey buddy hey man look look at me you gotta come with
01:01:04 me okay I need your help I need your help he was the strongest and he did exactly what the strongest
01:01:14 does. He stopped
01:01:18 and waited for the faltering man behind him, behind me, behind everyone, to catch
01:01:22 up. He didn't chastise him. He didn't mock
01:01:26 him or he didn't tell him to quit. Instead, he reassured
01:01:30 him. And then he took much of this man's
01:01:34 extra gear and his rucksack
01:01:37 on top of his own, grabbed him by the arm
01:01:42 and said, come with me.
01:01:44 I need your help.
01:01:50 And he did.
01:01:54 He started shuffling.
01:01:55 He started moving.
01:01:58 They started to jog and quickly caught up
01:02:00 to the rest of the platoon.
01:02:01 Everyone else had saw and heard what was happening
01:02:03 and kind of like electricity all through the ranks,
01:02:06 we felt something I had never experienced before.
01:02:09 An energy.
01:02:12 had befallen us somehow
01:02:16 and refilled our gas tanks just enough.
01:02:19 It still hurt. Everything still hurt.
01:02:21 It still sucked, but we didn't care very much anymore.
01:02:25 In that one moment, 0.88
01:02:27 we were motivated by one
01:02:30 unusual, uncommon act
01:02:34 of self-sacrifice and courage that reminded us
01:02:36 what it was we were doing,
01:02:38 who we are, and who we are aspiring to be.
01:02:47 Others started encouraging each other and asking around
01:02:49 if anyone else needed a break, needed water, needed anything.
01:02:52 Our 40-something-year-old Canadian Airborne Regiment
01:02:56 veteran warrant officer was walking along silently
01:02:59 at a near distance on the other side of the road.
01:03:02 He'd been very demanding, intimidating, impossible to impress.
01:03:07 nothing was ever good enough
01:03:09 and he always made us feel like
01:03:10 we had an impossible task
01:03:11 of trying to live up
01:03:12 to his standard
01:03:13 he was the old guard
01:03:16 and several of us noticed
01:03:19 as he was watching
01:03:21 from the side of the road
01:03:22 carrying his own rucksack
01:03:24 without any expression
01:03:25 just the half worn off
01:03:29 green and brown cam paint
01:03:31 dirt on his face
01:03:32 and his black mustache 0.98
01:03:33 was all you could see
01:03:34 under his helmet
01:03:35 But he just slowly nodded his head a couple of times.
01:03:43 It was approval.
01:03:47 And earning that nod from that man was the hardest thing that I had done in my life up to then.
01:03:56 And just a few minutes later, we rounded a corner and a familiar road.
01:04:03 We had been on the road all morning, out for weeks, exhausted, right around that corner.
01:04:08 Just a couple minutes later, there was the road back to camp.
01:04:16 Later in the week before our graduation ceremony, I was cleaning my boots next to the CFL player in the cleaning bay when someone asked him point blank,
01:04:24 but why? Why not just leave the guy? He wouldn't have been able to do that for you.
01:04:28 stop for a second he didn't look up from his boots and he just said
01:04:35 because it could
01:04:39 i learned two very important things that morning that stuck with me for the rest of my life
01:04:47 and stuck with me not just because i had to earn it but because it was the truest thing that i'd
01:04:52 experienced i didn't read about it i experienced it it happened to me and it was as real and as
01:04:58 compromising as the sun. First, when we are in those moments of darkness, suffering, and fear,
01:05:05 always remember the only thing that you ever truly have control of is you. If you keep going,
01:05:12 if you keep pushing, if you keep fighting, no matter how far behind or how close to defeat
01:05:17 that you think you are, the only thing that matters is that you keep fighting because
01:05:24 victory and salvation
01:05:26 could always just be
01:05:28 one lucky punch away
01:05:30 right around the very next
01:05:32 bend in the road. But you'll never get to find
01:05:34 out if you give up.
01:05:37 Second,
01:05:39 strength is not
01:05:40 a gift or a curse.
01:05:43 Strength is a choice.
01:05:45 It is not a pleasure.
01:05:47 It's a responsibility.
01:05:48 To become strong, you have to choose
01:05:50 to do the difficult things.
01:05:52 to build up your mind, your body, your spirit.
01:05:54 You must walk the hard road.
01:05:56 Just as the steel sword is scorched and beaten
01:05:59 on the blacksmith's anvil, there are no shortcuts.
01:06:03 The things you'd rather not do, but must be done.
01:06:08 The uncomfortable things, the scary things.
01:06:13 And who are these, the strong?
01:06:15 They are those who choose to do these things.
01:06:18 And through these things, those acts and their consequences
01:06:21 they emerge on the other side sharper
01:06:24 because it must it must be done someone has to do it
01:06:31 where would we be without our heroes we wouldn't exist
01:06:35 those who would just be a little bit further ahead or stand a little bit taller than the rest
01:06:44 of us can see a little bit more a little bit stronger just a little bit more gas in the tank
01:06:49 or be willing to throw someone else's misery on their back,
01:06:54 increasing their own suffering so that that person,
01:06:57 their brother beside them, would survive
01:07:00 and then maybe someday they'd be able to do it for someone else.
01:07:05 These examples empower us all.
01:07:08 They live in our dreams and our imaginations.
01:07:10 They are the stories that become our myths and legends
01:07:13 that drive our collective will to exist and press on.
01:07:17 what an awesome responsibility it is to be strong
01:07:22 why stay why stay alberta because there are other kids in the house
01:07:32 your younger brothers and sisters are they to blame for all of this lunacy
01:07:38 how are they to defend themselves they're still trapped in there 0.99
01:07:43 with that pig-headed monster of a stepfather and what hope do they have to withstand his abuse if 0.99
01:07:50 you can't the same the very same moms and dads grandparents and families that stood with you in 0.99
01:07:58 that frozen nightmare are all over this country and they are no more capable of putting a stop
01:08:05 to any of this as you are voting you really believe in this why did the convoy happen at
01:08:13 all then because we have all so much faith in these electoral blood leeches. Canadians joined
01:08:19 us from all over the nation and waved farewell, wished us luck standing out there in the snow
01:08:24 on overpasses and fields holding their children, cheering us on as much as they were desperate
01:08:29 for someone to save them. I've been across this nation to the Pacific and the Atlantic more times
01:08:36 in the last five years than I can make sense of. And there are Canadians just like you
01:08:41 who have lost hope without a prayer,
01:08:44 barely keeping it together. 0.99
01:08:46 They're living in shanty tent cities, 0.99
01:08:48 RVs and storage units alone
01:08:50 as their neighborhoods and homes are overrun
01:08:53 with crime, filth and the profane.
01:08:59 You can stand there in the doorway
01:09:02 with your bags packed,
01:09:04 but still something compels you.
01:09:07 this doesn't feel right
01:09:11 does it
01:09:13 it isn't right
01:09:16 is this really how the story of Canada goes
01:09:22 I have to be honest
01:09:25 it doesn't feel very Albertan
01:09:29 it doesn't feel very Canadian to me
01:09:33 the rest of us
01:09:38 will be right here.
01:09:42 We'll keep marching on.
01:09:45 We'll keep supporting each other
01:09:47 and we'll keep finding a way forward.
01:09:50 No matter what tomorrow brings,
01:09:52 we'll fight until the end
01:09:54 just like Hong Kong in 1941.
01:09:57 Even though
01:09:58 you and I both know
01:10:01 we probably can't win
01:10:07 without you
01:10:08 but
01:10:12 what if there's another way
01:10:18 the story goes
01:10:19 would you imagine it
01:10:21 for some old friends
01:10:23 for old times sake
01:10:25 what if you turned around
01:10:30 what if you turned around and
01:10:33 walked back into that house
01:10:35 you unpack your bags
01:10:37 but you don't put them away
01:10:38 because it's not you
01:10:41 who's going to be leaving after all
01:10:43 you gather the rest of your brothers and sisters
01:10:47 you take off your hat
01:10:50 you kneel down and you tell them
01:10:51 that you're a family
01:10:54 and then you're going to stick together 0.99
01:11:01 against this maniac named Ottawa 1.00
01:11:03 and this shit ends now 1.00
01:11:05 in a dark 1.00
01:11:08 confusing and desperate time
01:11:11 in this family story
01:11:12 our story
01:11:13 it's not too late still
01:11:15 for it to one day read that
01:11:17 they say
01:11:20 when the heartbeat of the Canadians
01:11:22 sprung back to life
01:11:23 when the miracle happened
01:11:25 it was in Alberta
01:11:28 where first
01:11:30 his right hand
01:11:33 started to twitch and move
01:11:35 made a fist
01:11:36 and then his eyes shot open
01:11:39 Canada didn't go sour
01:11:44 it didn't turn into someone or something else
01:11:47 it's being attacked
01:11:48 it's being stolen
01:11:50 and we have never run from a fight
01:11:52 and neither of you
01:11:53 every last inch of this country from one ocean to the next belongs to you and to our people still
01:11:59 inside its borders don't let foreigners and traitors chase you out of your heritage your
01:12:06 history your birthright your home you have friends and allies family all over this country who want
01:12:14 what you want to end this era of unaccountability lies and indignity find the others
01:12:22 don't believe their propaganda.
01:12:24 Stand proudly and be the strength
01:12:26 everyone needs to see.
01:12:28 Maybe Alberta needs to see most of all.
01:12:31 A coalition, an alliance,
01:12:32 a movement of Canadians who have had enough
01:12:34 of facing hopelessness and despair,
01:12:37 enough of compromise and excuses,
01:12:38 and lead them!
01:12:40 Lead them from the front with an unusual,
01:12:43 uncommon act of self-sacrifice
01:12:45 and belief!
01:12:48 And you could choose
01:12:49 the road of heroes
01:12:51 but you have to make that decision
01:12:55 Alberta has to write the ending to that story
01:13:00 as for the Conservative Party
01:13:05 versus Canada
01:13:06 there is still one more move left
01:13:09 to save the ship
01:13:10 I will tell you that unfortunately
01:13:13 it's not as simple as 0.73
01:13:14 get the libs out
01:13:15 I often take criticism for my attacks
01:13:17 on the Conservatives
01:13:18 and skeptics believe I must support them
01:13:20 or have some vested interest in the liberals.
01:13:23 I don't. 1.00
01:13:24 I despise that godless mob of killers. 0.98
01:13:28 I'm not trying to stop you from supporting political opposition. 0.99
01:13:31 I'm trying to stop you from fighting with a broken sword.
01:13:36 Imagine we live on a frontier,
01:13:38 small town, before electricity.
01:13:41 We have to pay a small number of men to protect the town.
01:13:46 They do general security, law enforcement,
01:13:48 but there's a problem.
01:13:50 First, they cost way too much.
01:13:54 And second, they don't show up for work.
01:13:58 Canada is huge and there are tens of millions of us, but our resources are not infinite.
01:14:03 Our manpower, our money, our time, our energy are not infinite.
01:14:09 Like a giant pumpkin that has been cinched off from the rest of the other pumpkins in the pumpkin patch.
01:14:15 The Conservative Party enjoys the unchallenged injection of nearly all of our available resources to fight Ottawa.
01:14:23 It's the only game in town, so everyone goes there.
01:14:28 But as has been made painfully clear, they're not up for the job.
01:14:34 Faith Goldie once said the Conservative Party exists so that no real right-wing Canadian party can exist.
01:14:40 And she's right. 0.97
01:14:41 their sponge has soaked up all of the juice and they use it to do photo ops and Indian Diwali
01:14:49 celebrations ignore everyone dying to argue about who isn't doing enough to worship Jewish people
01:14:55 and how wonderful it is that no one speaks English in Surrey anymore
01:14:59 they have no motivation to change course why would they their campaign manager Jenny Byrne
01:15:07 recently celebrated that their loss was the best technical loss that they've had in years.
01:15:13 They are paid handsomely and suffer no consequences for their failure.
01:15:18 And our families and our loved ones pay the price.
01:15:23 The Hartman family paid a price.
01:15:27 Leaders take action.
01:15:29 They do not wait around all day for someone else to tell them what to do.
01:15:33 They don't wait for permission.
01:15:35 They act when action is needed.
01:15:37 They just do it.
01:15:40 The CPC will not change on principle.
01:15:44 They do not respect you enough to even listen to you. 0.97
01:15:47 They are shameless weasels that only respond to the same stimuli and motivators that any scavenger or parasite creature does. 0.94
01:15:53 Fear and gratification. 0.98
01:15:56 They are very fat and happy in their castle with their $600 a plate conventions.
01:16:00 People have tried the whole infiltrate and change from the inside in an attempt to slow motion, steer, and shape the mindset back towards the right direction.
01:16:11 But anything pointing in the right direction is forbidden.
01:16:15 Like the liberals, diversity of thought and belief is not permitted.
01:16:20 So, it's simple.
01:16:24 If we can't breach the castle, and they won't come out and face us like men,
01:16:29 siege we starve them out we starve them out we see how long they can go without eating
01:16:41 every political party relies on its base of diehard supporters to exist they are the financial and
01:16:48 energetic backbone of the party donations from canadians and memberships fees made up 97 percent
01:16:56 of their income in 2024 for just over 48 million dollars. They need this money to operate and their
01:17:02 next deposits are currently sitting in your pockets. If they don't want to do their jobs then
01:17:10 they don't get paid. Their existence is entirely in the hands of the Canadian people.
01:17:16 We can turn their oxygen off today and see how long they like gasping for air 0.99
01:17:20 until the color in their face matches their lawn signs.
01:17:25 Then we'll consider plugging it back in
01:17:27 and see if they've decided to become a little bit more agreeable.
01:17:31 I'm willing to bet that you'll find suddenly
01:17:34 they'll be much more interested and respectful
01:17:36 about what it is you have to say.
01:17:40 Or they refuse to change and they die on their ego.
01:17:44 Hoisted on their own petard,
01:17:46 they slowly, then more quickly,
01:17:48 evaporate and disintegrate into an irrelevant nothing to match the impressive record of
01:17:54 victories they've produced for us with all the money and time they've helped themselves to.
01:18:00 Arguably, the disintegration is already taking place, which would clear the way and open the
01:18:07 field for free market competition. The juice, the nutrients, the energy would flow freely again
01:18:12 and set the conditions for something else.
01:18:16 Something new.
01:18:18 Something that works.
01:18:20 Something Canadian.
01:18:25 Conservative Party.
01:18:27 Canada has waited too long
01:18:29 for you to fix yourselves and produce results worthy of our name.
01:18:34 You'll continue to try and disguise your failure as evolution or progress,
01:18:39 but our patience must come to an end.
01:18:42 Or this country will not survive your blundering.
01:18:47 Canada, they need you.
01:18:51 You do not need them.
01:18:55 We stick together.
01:18:57 No one goes home until we can all go home.
01:19:05 Our future depends on us.
01:19:09 And there is no more time to wait.
01:19:12 Thank you.
