00:00:00.000 All right, my rebels, today I'm going to give you a bit of a treat.
00:00:03.080 You may not think so, but I swear it is. You must listen.
00:00:06.040 I'm going to take you through Donald Trump's speech at the United Nations.
00:00:10.380 Did you know he gave a speech at the United Nations? I bet you didn't.
00:00:13.480 I bet the only speech you heard about was Greta Thunberg's speech at the United Nations.
00:00:17.060 She emoted a bit. Yeah, fair enough.
00:00:19.000 But Donald Trump gave a barn burner of a foreign policy speech.
00:00:22.580 I'm going to show you about seven or eight clips from it.
00:00:25.460 It's a little bit long, but I think you've got to hear it.
00:00:27.640 And I'm just guessing you haven't heard it anywhere else, so I hope you enjoy this.
00:00:31.680 I give a little bit of commentary in between, but really, there's not much more to say.

00:01:05.000 All right, here's my commentary on Trump's speech.
00:01:13.280 You're listening to a Rebel News podcast.
00:01:15.520 Tonight, Donald Trump and that abused child, Greta Thunberg, both gave speeches at the UN.
00:01:30.320 Guess which one got more media coverage?
00:01:32.240 It's September 26th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:34.980 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:40.860 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:44.940 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:50.800 Greta Thunberg, she's that 16-year-old Swedish girl who looks more like 12 years old.
00:02:02.140 She's mentally ill, according to her mother and according to herself.
00:02:07.320 She's been depressed.
00:02:08.360 She's been suicidal.
00:02:10.120 She has other medical problems.
00:02:12.360 Here, listen to her say it.
00:02:13.580 So when I was 11, I became ill.
00:02:16.820 I fell into depression.
00:02:19.100 I stopped talking, and I stopped eating.
00:02:23.200 In two months, I lost about 10 kilos of weight.
00:02:28.560 Later on, I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, OCD, and selective mutism.
00:02:35.600 Huh.
00:02:36.740 Well, she arrived in America to spread terror and depression, actually.
00:02:41.840 Here she is at the United Nations.
00:02:43.040 Now, look at this girl.
00:02:43.920 She is still mentally ill.
00:02:46.840 She is being used and abused in part for her mental illness.
00:02:51.680 Take a look at this.
00:02:53.000 This is all wrong.
00:02:55.640 I shouldn't be up here.
00:02:58.260 I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean.
00:03:02.820 Yet, you all come to us young people for hope.
00:03:07.340 How dare you?
00:03:08.500 You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words.
00:03:15.580 And yet, I'm one of the lucky ones.
00:03:17.740 People are suffering.
00:03:20.700 People are dying.
00:03:22.800 Entire ecosystems are collapsing.
00:03:26.360 We are in the beginning of a mass extinction.
00:03:30.160 And all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth.
00:03:36.540 How dare you?
00:03:37.540 How dare you?
00:03:37.980 Yeah, get that girl to the kid's help phone or something.
00:03:42.960 Get child and family services.
00:03:45.420 That is a girl who was suicidal, who lost a quarter of her body weight.
00:03:49.640 She is still not right.
00:03:50.980 And her parents have weaponized her.
00:03:53.800 They're abusers.
00:03:55.580 Now, by the way, she looks about 12, doesn't she?
00:03:58.800 She's not.
00:03:59.500 She's a mentally ill 16-year-old.
00:04:01.880 I'm not picking on her.
00:04:03.440 I'm not the one pushing her into a media hurricane for my own hands.
00:04:07.060 She's a puppet of lobbyists and extremists and of her crazy, crazy mother.
00:04:13.200 Now I'm going to go and play a little food.
00:04:17.260 It's not all strange.
00:04:19.760 No, no, no.
00:04:21.420 And it's not a lot of assistants and such that people may think.
00:04:25.760 No, no.
00:04:26.480 Just me and my dancers.
00:04:29.180 I play just as people do.
00:04:32.880 Mmm.
00:04:33.720 And tacos and pizza.
00:04:36.720 And I don't have a Russian caviar here.
00:04:38.620 It's not as people may think.
00:04:40.980 No, no, no.
00:04:43.200 Yeah, that's Greta Thunberg's mom.
00:04:48.340 She's like those beauty pageant moms in the U.S.,
00:04:51.080 obsessed with turning their daughters into Miss America
00:04:54.120 for their own emotional and financial reasons.
00:04:56.600 Yeah, I blame her mom, actually.
00:04:59.220 So Greta, the mentally disturbed teen, was the big sensation at the U.N.,
00:05:03.400 at least for the globalist crowd,
00:05:04.960 the crowd that believes in global government, global taxes.
00:05:07.900 They love environmental extremism and emotion.
00:05:10.740 It's jet fuel for them.
00:05:11.920 But Donald Trump, he's pretty much the opposite of those ideas, isn't he?
00:05:16.340 One of my favorite things is reading old Donald Trump tweets,
00:05:20.460 mocking global warming as a scam.
00:05:22.660 This one here isn't even that old.
00:05:25.280 He mocks the financial aspect, mocks the carbon credits.
00:05:29.980 He calls it a scam.
00:05:31.660 What a laugh.
00:05:32.580 And I just love this video.
00:05:36.260 So young Greta with her faces being stunned into silence
00:05:41.560 just by Donald Trump walking into the room.
00:05:45.100 Did you see this?
00:05:45.720 Yeah, that's the difference between real life and a child actor, I think.
00:05:59.680 But here's my point.
00:06:00.760 We all heard about Greta.
00:06:02.220 For God's sake, she was compared to saints, to Joan of Arc.
00:06:05.820 Let me show you just one example.
00:06:07.780 This is from Sarah Silverman.
00:06:09.560 You think you will recognize Jesus when he comes back?
00:06:13.560 I see him all around.
00:06:15.820 He is this girl.
00:06:17.060 And y'all don't even see it.
00:06:19.480 That's Sarah Silverman talking about Greta.
00:06:21.860 I don't think Sarah Silverman, a hardcore left-wing atheist Jew,
00:06:28.180 knows a lot about Jesus, actually.
00:06:30.880 She just is emotionally reacting to a disabled girl being weaponized.
00:06:34.520 It's quite pitiful.
00:06:35.560 But let's let the Hollywood phonies talk about Greta the ill.
00:06:39.020 Can I show you a few clips from Donald Trump's remarkable speech at the UN?
00:06:43.200 I bet you didn't even know he gave a speech there.
00:06:45.420 Certainly not if you follow the CBC, for example.
00:06:47.520 They were all Greta all the time.
00:06:49.100 So here, some clips from Trump's major speech at the UN.
00:06:53.440 I think you're going to like it.
00:06:54.560 I have the immense privilege of addressing you today
00:06:57.700 as the elected leader of a nation that prizes liberty,
00:07:03.600 independence, and self-government above all.
00:07:08.000 The United States, after having spent over $2.5 trillion since my election
00:07:14.640 to completely rebuild our great military,
00:07:17.020 is also by far the world's most powerful nation.
00:07:22.440 Hopefully, it will never have to use this power.
00:07:28.500 Americans know that in a world where others seek conquest and domination,
00:07:33.580 our nation must be strong in wealth, in might, and in spirit.
00:07:41.380 That is why the United States vigorously defends the traditions and customs
00:07:47.100 that have made us who we are.
00:07:51.000 I know all of that sounds obvious, but it's not.
00:07:54.260 Obama let our military waste away in terms of personnel and equipment.
00:07:57.880 When I say our military, of course, the United States military,
00:08:00.980 but the whole NATO alliance.
00:08:03.160 More than that, Obama let things waste away morally.
00:08:05.760 He debased the military. He insulted it.
00:08:08.600 Obama traded five Taliban generals for Beau Bergdahl,
00:08:12.120 a traitor who defected from the United States to the Taliban.
00:08:15.400 Other U.S. soldiers died trying to rescue the traitor Beau Bergdahl,
00:08:18.880 and Obama actually celebrated him as a hero at the White House.
00:08:23.280 Obama was the one who got a deal with Omar Khadr.
00:08:25.580 The jury in Guantanamo Bay had convicted Khadr
00:08:28.080 and sentenced him to 40 years in prison.
00:08:30.160 Obama intervened to let him out in just eight, despite that sentence.
00:08:34.420 Of course, Obama simply used the U.S. military as a PR device,
00:08:37.500 a plaything, to topple Muammar Gaddafi, an odious man to be sure,
00:08:41.180 but at least he was a bulwark against ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:08:44.740 Obama could have destroyed ISIS itself in a month if he wanted to.
00:08:48.340 He let it live on for years.
00:08:50.160 He liked to watch the world burn.
00:08:52.100 Remember this?
00:08:53.200 Obama's senior advisors said they didn't want to attack ISIS
00:08:56.300 because it would have a high-carbon footprint or something.
00:09:00.260 We don't want to destroy these oil tankers
00:09:04.080 because that's infrastructure that's going to be necessary
00:09:08.560 to support the people when ISIS isn't there anymore,
00:09:11.920 and it's going to create environmental damage.
00:09:15.460 Environmental damage, people.
00:09:19.180 Can't have that.
00:09:20.300 We've got to let ISIS keep its oil money
00:09:22.100 because we don't want environmental damage.
00:09:25.040 Yeah, finally, Trump is someone who respects the military
00:09:27.500 and believes in making America stronger as a nation,
00:09:30.200 economically, too.
00:09:31.500 Okay, back to Trump's speech.
00:09:32.480 Look at this.
00:09:32.880 Like my beloved country,
00:09:35.680 each nation represented in this hall
00:09:37.880 has a cherished history, culture, and heritage
00:09:43.340 that is worth defending and celebrating
00:09:46.240 and which gives us our singular potential and strength.
00:09:52.640 The free world must embrace its national foundations.
00:09:57.580 It must not attempt to erase them or replace them.
00:10:03.880 Looking around and all over this large, magnificent planet,
00:10:13.100 the truth is plain to see.
00:10:16.020 If you want freedom, take pride in your country.
00:10:20.460 If you want democracy, hold on to your sovereignty.
00:10:24.800 And if you want peace, love your nation.
00:10:31.100 Wise leaders always put the good of their own people
00:10:35.060 and their own country first.
00:10:39.240 The future does not belong to globalists.
00:10:43.060 The future belongs to patriots.
00:10:45.740 How refreshing to hear someone reject globalism
00:10:48.080 in favor of nation states so clearly.
00:10:50.500 That's not just America first.
00:10:51.700 That's Canadians being for Canada first.
00:10:54.620 Brits being for Britain first.
00:10:56.280 Respect for the people, for democracy, for history.
00:10:58.460 It's so good.
00:10:59.060 Here's some more.
00:10:59.860 The future belongs to sovereign and independent nations
00:11:02.880 who protect their citizens, respect their neighbors,
00:11:07.960 and honor the differences that make each country
00:11:11.100 special and unique.
00:11:13.880 It is why we in the United States
00:11:18.780 have embarked on an exciting program
00:11:21.700 of national renewal.
00:11:25.600 In everything we do,
00:11:28.060 we are focused on empowering the dreams
00:11:30.620 and aspirations of our citizens.
00:11:33.360 Are you jealous yet?
00:11:34.520 That could have been us.
00:11:35.720 But we voted for a handsy drama teacher
00:11:38.200 in blackface instead.
00:11:39.780 Trump is a globalist only in one sense.
00:11:42.040 He wants to sell American goods all around the globe.
00:11:45.180 And he is doing it, unlike Trudeau,
00:11:47.160 who has incurred trade wars against us
00:11:49.660 from China and India.
00:11:51.040 Here's Trump.
00:11:51.960 We have worked closely with our partners
00:11:54.100 in Mexico and Canada to replace NAFTA
00:11:56.700 with the brand new and hopefully bipartisan
00:12:00.020 U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement.
00:12:04.400 Tomorrow, I will join Prime Minister Abe of Japan
00:12:07.560 to continue our progress in finalizing
00:12:10.260 a terrific new trade deal.
00:12:13.440 As the United Kingdom makes preparations
00:12:16.620 to exit the European Union,
00:12:19.400 I have made clear that we stand ready
00:12:21.820 to complete an exceptional new trade agreement
00:12:25.580 with the U.K.
00:12:26.480 that will bring tremendous benefits
00:12:28.240 to both of our countries.
00:12:30.560 We are working closely
00:12:32.280 with Prime Minister Boris Johnson
00:12:34.180 on a magnificent new trade deal.
00:12:37.660 Trump likes free trade, but not at any cost.
00:12:40.320 He has long held that China
00:12:42.120 has been in a unilateral trade war
00:12:44.040 against America for decades.
00:12:45.900 Only now, Trump is fighting back against them.
00:12:48.260 Not for the sake of fighting.
00:12:50.000 For the opposite, to make China
00:12:51.820 stop fighting America.
00:12:53.360 The most important difference
00:12:55.360 in America's new approach on trade
00:12:58.040 concerns our relationship with China.
00:13:02.780 In 2001, China was admitted
00:13:06.660 to the World Trade Organization.
00:13:11.200 Our leaders then argued
00:13:12.660 that this decision would compel China
00:13:16.460 to liberalize its economy
00:13:19.100 and strengthen protections
00:13:20.960 to provide things
00:13:23.960 that were unacceptable to us
00:13:25.940 and for private property
00:13:28.120 and for the rule of law.
00:13:31.800 Two decades later,
00:13:33.140 this theory has been tested
00:13:34.860 and proven completely wrong.
00:13:37.620 Not only has China declined
00:13:39.120 to adopt promised reforms,
00:13:42.220 it has embraced an economic model
00:13:44.460 dependent on massive market barriers,
00:13:47.800 heavy state subsidies,
00:13:50.720 currency manipulation,
00:13:52.620 product dumping,
00:13:53.980 forced technology transfers,
00:13:56.240 and the theft of intellectual property,
00:13:59.200 and also trade secrets
00:14:01.860 on a grand scale.
00:14:04.320 Have you ever heard anything
00:14:05.320 so honest and blunt about China before
00:14:07.180 by anyone in high office
00:14:08.620 compared to Trudeau?
00:14:11.040 There's a level of admiration
00:14:13.940 I actually have for China.
00:14:15.740 because their basic dictatorship
00:14:21.060 is allowing them
00:14:22.520 to actually turn their economy around
00:14:24.960 on a dime and say,
00:14:25.880 we need to go green as fast as we need
00:14:27.560 to start investing in solar.
00:14:30.000 I mean, there is a flexibility
00:14:31.100 that I know Stephen Harper
00:14:32.560 must dream about
00:14:33.320 of having a dictatorship
00:14:34.340 that he could do everything he wanted
00:14:35.900 that I find quite interesting.
00:14:39.780 Now, I'm going to skip a bit
00:14:41.160 from Trump's speech,
00:14:42.060 but I recommend that you watch
00:14:43.080 the whole thing.
00:14:43.760 If you have the time,
00:14:44.360 you can find it online,
00:14:45.900 including on the White House website.
00:14:47.140 But listen to this.
00:14:47.860 You tell me
00:14:48.600 who is the party
00:14:49.660 of the working man,
00:14:50.620 Trump,
00:14:51.640 the blue-collar billionaire,
00:14:53.120 or radical left-wing Democrats
00:14:54.440 who actually hate
00:14:55.440 industry and factories
00:14:57.380 because of carbon dioxide
00:14:58.740 or something.
00:14:59.300 The United States
00:15:00.680 lost 60,000 factories
00:15:03.520 after China
00:15:05.580 entered the WTO.
00:15:08.440 This is happening
00:15:11.300 to other countries
00:15:13.220 all over the globe.
00:15:14.220 The World Trade Organization
00:15:16.940 needs drastic change.
00:15:19.480 The second-largest economy
00:15:22.320 in the world
00:15:22.880 should not be permitted
00:15:23.940 to declare itself
00:15:24.980 a developing country
00:15:26.220 in order to game the system
00:15:28.100 at others' expense.
00:15:30.420 For years,
00:15:33.420 these abuses
00:15:34.200 were tolerated,
00:15:36.960 ignored,
00:15:37.380 or even encouraged.
00:15:41.060 Globalism exerted
00:15:43.320 a religious pull
00:15:44.760 over past leaders,
00:15:46.980 causing them
00:15:47.560 to ignore
00:15:48.100 their own national interests.
00:15:50.760 But as far as America
00:15:52.260 is concerned,
00:15:53.120 those days are over.
00:15:54.080 to confront
00:15:56.580 these unfair practices,
00:15:58.960 I placed massive tariffs
00:16:01.500 on more than $500 billion
00:16:04.440 worth of Chinese-made goods.
00:16:08.800 Already, as a result
00:16:11.020 of these tariffs,
00:16:12.600 supply chains are relocating
00:16:14.380 back to America
00:16:15.320 and to other nations,
00:16:16.860 and billions of dollars
00:16:18.340 are being paid
00:16:19.240 to our Treasury.
00:16:21.340 The American people
00:16:25.020 are absolutely committed
00:16:26.760 to restoring balance
00:16:28.980 to our relationship
00:16:30.040 with China.
00:16:32.120 Hopefully, we can reach
00:16:33.280 an agreement
00:16:33.760 that would be beneficial
00:16:34.940 for both countries.
00:16:37.940 But as I have made
00:16:39.240 very clear,
00:16:40.420 I will not accept
00:16:41.480 a bad deal
00:16:42.360 for the American people.
00:16:44.440 That's amazing.
00:16:45.460 If you're working
00:16:45.880 in a steel plant
00:16:46.720 or a factory of any sort,
00:16:48.080 how could you possibly
00:16:48.820 not realize
00:16:49.500 that this is not only
00:16:50.320 the morally right approach,
00:16:52.120 the legally right approach,
00:16:53.320 the economically right approach,
00:16:54.500 but that, frankly,
00:16:55.500 it's the only thing
00:16:56.200 that could possibly
00:16:56.900 save your own factory job.
00:16:59.500 But it's not just money.
00:17:00.980 Listen to Trump
00:17:01.620 talk about human rights,
00:17:02.840 something the left
00:17:03.600 used to pretend
00:17:04.780 to care about.
00:17:05.540 Get a load of this.
00:17:07.000 As we endeavor
00:17:07.680 to stabilize
00:17:08.520 our relationship,
00:17:10.340 we're also carefully
00:17:11.760 monitoring
00:17:12.580 the situation
00:17:14.080 in Hong Kong.
00:17:16.200 The world fully expects
00:17:17.800 that the Chinese government
00:17:19.040 will honor its binding treaty
00:17:21.460 made with the British
00:17:23.380 and registered
00:17:24.200 with the United Nations
00:17:25.500 in which China commits
00:17:26.880 to protect Hong Kong's freedom,
00:17:29.760 legal system,
00:17:30.940 and democratic ways of life.
00:17:33.800 How China chooses
00:17:35.360 to handle the situation
00:17:36.880 will say a great deal
00:17:37.980 about its role
00:17:39.160 in the world
00:17:39.720 in the future.
00:17:41.520 We are all counting
00:17:43.140 on President Xi
00:17:44.620 as a great leader.
00:17:48.040 The United States
00:17:49.320 does not seek conflict
00:17:50.640 with any other nation.
00:17:52.780 We desire peace,
00:17:54.220 cooperation,
00:17:55.520 and mutual gain with all.
00:17:58.880 But I will never fail
00:18:00.840 to defend
00:18:02.740 America's interests.
00:18:05.580 Trump is making China fall.
00:18:09.220 It's likely that China's already
00:18:11.320 in an economic recession.
00:18:12.460 He's taking on China.
00:18:14.280 He's supporting democracy
00:18:15.420 in Hong Kong.
00:18:16.740 All without firing a shot,
00:18:18.480 he's putting China
00:18:19.240 on the back foot.
00:18:20.620 Trump also talked about Iran
00:18:21.900 and Afghanistan
00:18:22.580 and Yemen
00:18:23.160 and other places.
00:18:24.220 But let me quote him
00:18:25.140 a bit on mass migration.
00:18:26.740 Oh, this is good.
00:18:27.420 Let me play a few minutes
00:18:28.720 because I don't want
00:18:29.320 to leave anything out.
00:18:30.300 Give me a few minutes here.
00:18:31.140 Take a look.
00:18:31.880 Here in the Western Hemisphere,
00:18:33.400 we are joining
00:18:34.000 with our partners
00:18:34.820 to ensure stability
00:18:36.180 and opportunity
00:18:37.060 all across the region.
00:18:39.180 In that mission,
00:18:41.780 one of our most critical challenges
00:18:44.300 is illegal immigration,
00:18:46.060 which undermines prosperity,
00:18:50.560 rips apart societies
00:18:52.080 and empowers ruthless criminal cartels.
00:18:56.100 Mass illegal migration
00:18:58.400 is unfair, unsafe,
00:19:01.100 and unsustainable
00:19:02.500 for everyone involved.
00:19:04.180 The sending countries
00:19:07.420 and the depleted countries,
00:19:10.900 and they become depleted very fast.
00:19:14.440 But their youth is not taken care of,
00:19:16.960 and human capital goes to waste.
00:19:21.300 The receiving countries
00:19:22.520 are overburdened
00:19:23.920 with more migrants
00:19:25.180 than they can responsibly accept.
00:19:28.980 And the migrants themselves
00:19:30.540 are exploited, assaulted,
00:19:32.400 and abused by vicious coyotes.
00:19:37.560 Nearly one-third of women
00:19:39.760 who make the journey north
00:19:42.000 to our border
00:19:43.760 are sexually assaulted along the way.
00:19:47.080 Yet here in the United States
00:19:48.640 and around the world,
00:19:51.320 there is a growing cottage industry
00:19:53.200 of radical activists
00:19:54.680 and non-governmental organizations
00:19:57.080 that promote human smuggling.
00:19:59.760 These groups encourage illegal migration
00:20:03.460 and demand
00:20:04.820 the erasure
00:20:06.660 of national borders.
00:20:10.160 Today, I have a message
00:20:11.920 for those open-border activists
00:20:14.200 who cloak themselves
00:20:16.400 in the rhetoric of social justice.
00:20:19.880 Your policies are not just.
00:20:23.720 Your policies are cruel and evil.
00:20:25.980 You are empowering criminal organizations
00:20:30.140 that prey on innocent men,
00:20:31.840 women, and children.
00:20:33.700 You put your own false sense of virtue
00:20:36.360 before the lives,
00:20:39.440 well-being,
00:20:40.100 and countless innocent people.
00:20:42.320 When you undermine border security,
00:20:45.620 you are undermining human rights
00:20:47.360 and human dignity.
00:20:49.140 Now, Trump obviously talks a lot
00:20:50.660 about his own southern border.
00:20:51.920 I won't get into that
00:20:52.660 because it's not quite as relevant
00:20:54.260 to us here in Canada,
00:20:55.300 but I like this.
00:20:56.680 Trump talks about free speech
00:20:58.240 and not just in countries
00:21:00.000 like Cuba and Venezuela.
00:21:01.520 Get a little of this.
00:21:03.000 Freedom and democracy must
00:21:04.860 be constantly guarded
00:21:07.880 and protected
00:21:08.620 both abroad
00:21:10.600 and from within.
00:21:13.880 We must always be skeptical
00:21:15.700 of those who want
00:21:16.820 conformity and control.
00:21:19.980 Even in free nations,
00:21:21.380 we see alarming signs
00:21:22.860 and new challenges to liberty.
00:21:26.440 A small number of social media platforms
00:21:28.940 are acquiring immense power
00:21:31.360 over what we can see
00:21:34.140 and over what we are allowed to say.
00:21:39.980 A permanent political class
00:21:41.980 is openly disdainful,
00:21:44.760 dismissive, and defiant
00:21:46.040 of the will of the people.
00:21:50.060 A faceless bureaucracy
00:21:51.320 operates in secret
00:21:52.860 and weakens democratic rule.
00:21:58.400 Media and academic institutions
00:22:00.320 push flat-out assaults
00:22:02.200 on our histories, traditions, and values.
00:22:06.820 In the United States,
00:22:08.520 my administration has made clear
00:22:10.920 to social media companies
00:22:13.400 that we will uphold
00:22:15.500 the right of free speech.
00:22:18.140 A free society cannot allow
00:22:20.440 social media giants
00:22:23.180 to silence the voices of the people.
00:22:26.100 And a free people
00:22:27.320 must never, ever be enlisted
00:22:30.740 in the cause of silencing,
00:22:34.180 coercing, canceling,
00:22:36.820 or blacklisting their own neighbors.
00:22:38.820 Wow, I'm ready for him to do that
00:22:41.740 anytime now in the U.S.
00:22:43.260 and up here in Canada, too.
00:22:45.180 Now, this speech is so long,
00:22:46.460 I'm sorry I can't show it to you all.
00:22:49.920 Trump takes on foreign regimes
00:22:51.660 that criminalize being gay,
00:22:53.120 for example.
00:22:54.340 So while Trudeau goes to
00:22:55.480 every pride parade in Canada
00:22:56.860 and does that weird
00:22:57.940 stick-out-his-tongue thing,
00:23:00.000 all right, thanks, buddy,
00:23:01.040 but Trump actually goes
00:23:02.080 in front of the world's leaders
00:23:03.240 and tells them,
00:23:04.380 stop criminalizing gays.
00:23:06.780 One guy does the photo op,
00:23:09.240 the other guy does real diplomacy
00:23:10.980 face-to-face with the world's leaders
00:23:12.940 using the president's bully pulpit.
00:23:15.740 It's a 45-minute speech,
00:23:17.580 patriotic and interested
00:23:18.840 in America first,
00:23:19.760 but it explains how such an ideology
00:23:21.720 could work for every nation,
00:23:23.980 standing up to evil around the world,
00:23:25.400 but also holding out
00:23:26.200 an outstretched hand
00:23:27.180 for odious regimes to change.
00:23:29.620 I mean, that part about China's president,
00:23:31.200 that was a carrot and a stick,
00:23:32.740 wasn't it?
00:23:34.100 I think this is the best
00:23:35.280 foreign policy speech
00:23:36.180 I've heard a president ever give.
00:23:39.200 Which is precisely why
00:23:40.360 the media party gave you
00:23:41.500 short clips of Greta Thunberg
00:23:43.660 emoting instead.
00:23:46.120 Isn't it?
00:23:47.600 Stay with us for more.
00:23:48.580 Well, it's been more than a dozen years
00:24:02.720 since I had my run-ins
00:24:04.460 with Canada's Human Rights Commission,
00:24:06.060 as you might recall.
00:24:07.100 I was taken before
00:24:08.240 the Alberta Human Rights Commission
00:24:09.640 for 900 days
00:24:11.300 for having the temerity
00:24:12.840 to publish in a news magazine
00:24:14.500 the news of the Danish cartoons
00:24:17.100 of Mohammed
00:24:17.980 that caused so many deaths
00:24:19.780 in riots around the world.
00:24:21.540 Well, I think we beat back
00:24:23.580 the Human Rights Commission
00:24:24.480 a little bit a decade ago,
00:24:25.980 but they've come roaring back.
00:24:28.060 And some of the craziest cases,
00:24:29.840 as usual,
00:24:30.880 are here in,
00:24:31.820 we're not here,
00:24:32.520 sorry, I'm in Toronto now,
00:24:33.660 are in Western Canada.
00:24:35.820 My cartoons case was in Alberta.
00:24:38.040 British Columbia
00:24:40.480 is where the crazy cases
00:24:42.120 of Jonathan Yaniv,
00:24:43.560 the man who calls himself
00:24:44.840 Jessica Yaniv
00:24:45.900 and demands
00:24:46.580 that he have
00:24:47.660 aesthetic services
00:24:48.820 provided by women.
00:24:50.760 Out of control,
00:24:51.740 the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal,
00:24:53.060 but there's a crazy case
00:24:54.140 from Alberta
00:24:55.020 that we've done stories about.
00:24:57.080 It's the case of
00:24:57.780 a male babysitter
00:25:00.900 who demands the right
00:25:02.960 to babysit your kids.
00:25:04.480 Let me read a paragraph
00:25:05.740 from an essay,
00:25:06.740 and then I'll introduce
00:25:07.860 a man who's doing
00:25:08.560 something about it.
00:25:09.220 You know the story,
00:25:09.880 but let me refresh
00:25:10.480 your memory.
00:25:11.600 Todd is a single father
00:25:14.480 with two sons
00:25:15.280 who were ages five and eight
00:25:16.980 at the time
00:25:17.400 on August 31st, 2017.
00:25:19.920 Todd posted an ad
00:25:21.780 on Kijiji
00:25:22.560 looking for a babysitter
00:25:24.520 for an evening.
00:25:25.820 One of those
00:25:26.300 who responded to the ad
00:25:27.340 was the complainant,
00:25:29.460 James Sirinowski.
00:25:31.520 Todd replied
00:25:32.220 to Mr. Sirinowski
00:25:33.120 asking some basic questions
00:25:34.520 about Mr. Sirinowski,
00:25:35.740 including what town
00:25:36.980 he lived in,
00:25:37.840 what his age was,
00:25:38.760 and whether he was
00:25:39.340 male or female.
00:25:40.480 Mr. Sirinowski
00:25:41.140 answered these questions.
00:25:42.760 However,
00:25:44.000 Todd's evening plans
00:25:44.940 fell through,
00:25:45.520 and so he canceled
00:25:46.080 the plans to hire a sitter.
00:25:48.160 Todd didn't contact
00:25:49.100 Sirinowski further.
00:25:51.120 Mr. Sirinowski
00:25:51.760 did not follow up
00:25:52.700 with Todd either,
00:25:53.520 but get this,
00:25:54.280 get this,
00:25:54.840 here's the crazy story.
00:25:57.580 Rather than follow up
00:25:58.620 with Todd,
00:25:59.060 Mr. Sirinowski
00:25:59.680 filed a human rights
00:26:01.720 complaint against Todd
00:26:03.160 the very next day
00:26:06.040 alleging discrimination
00:26:08.040 on the basis
00:26:08.860 of age and gender
00:26:09.700 in violation of Section 8
00:26:11.120 of the Alberta Human Rights Act.
00:26:12.380 I'm reading
00:26:12.900 from a commentary
00:26:14.240 on the subject
00:26:14.960 by our friend
00:26:15.720 John Carpe
00:26:17.060 of the Justice Center
00:26:17.840 for Constitutional Freedoms
00:26:18.880 who is defending Todd,
00:26:20.620 the single dad,
00:26:21.960 and John Carpe
00:26:22.680 joins us in studio now.
00:26:23.920 John, great to see you.
00:26:24.960 Good to see you, Ezra.
00:26:25.780 We have covered this story.
00:26:27.080 We sent reporters
00:26:27.860 trying to find
00:26:28.800 Mr. Sirinowski,
00:26:31.040 a grown man
00:26:31.940 who thinks he has
00:26:33.260 the human right
00:26:34.380 to babysit your kids
00:26:36.580 whether or not you want.
00:26:38.940 Like, I gotta tell you, John,
00:26:41.720 I'm not averse
00:26:43.340 to the idea
00:26:43.960 of a male babysitter.
00:26:45.020 It's unusual,
00:26:46.140 but I don't think
00:26:47.160 it's wrong.
00:26:48.540 It might be wrong
00:26:49.160 for someone.
00:26:50.280 It might be right
00:26:50.740 for someone.
00:26:51.840 Well, Todd, in fact,
00:26:53.020 is not adverse
00:26:53.800 to male babysitters.
00:26:54.700 The reason Todd
00:26:55.740 didn't get back
00:26:56.380 to James Sirinowski
00:26:58.080 is because Todd's plans
00:27:00.240 fell through
00:27:00.800 and he had some
00:27:01.760 email exchanges
00:27:02.420 with other
00:27:02.900 prospective babysitters
00:27:03.840 and, you know,
00:27:05.300 you could argue
00:27:06.280 it's rude,
00:27:06.960 but, you know,
00:27:07.580 in real life
00:27:08.300 you might have
00:27:08.640 five or six conversations.
00:27:09.840 You don't get back
00:27:10.540 to all six people
00:27:11.340 to say,
00:27:11.840 no thanks,
00:27:12.220 no thanks,
00:27:12.600 no thanks.
00:27:13.360 It's kind of,
00:27:14.440 the conversation trickles down
00:27:15.800 and that means
00:27:16.600 it's a no.
00:27:17.320 Yeah.
00:27:17.800 Well, but here's the thing.
00:27:21.060 As soon as someone says,
00:27:22.780 I'm so interested
00:27:25.880 in babysitting
00:27:26.720 your kids.
00:27:27.940 I am going to go
00:27:29.360 to the Human Rights Commission
00:27:30.660 and if that fails,
00:27:31.780 I will appeal
00:27:32.460 to a higher court
00:27:33.360 and if that fails,
00:27:34.740 I'll appeal to a,
00:27:35.720 I will have access
00:27:38.500 to your kids.
00:27:40.800 And all of a sudden,
00:27:42.160 something that's
00:27:42.680 a little quirky,
00:27:43.380 okay, male babysitter,
00:27:44.500 grown man babysitter,
00:27:45.780 it's a little unusual,
00:27:46.540 but it could be okay,
00:27:47.500 all of a sudden
00:27:47.940 becomes very dark
00:27:49.320 when he says,
00:27:50.480 I demand!
00:27:52.120 Like, and he didn't shout it,
00:27:53.800 he did worse than shouting.
00:27:55.560 He went to the
00:27:56.220 Human Rights Commission
00:27:56.920 saying he had
00:27:57.840 the human right.
00:28:00.780 But he's not the culprit.
00:28:02.260 It's the legislation
00:28:03.040 that allows that
00:28:03.820 in the same way
00:28:04.720 that we can...
00:28:05.140 Well, he's the weirdo.
00:28:06.420 I'm sorry,
00:28:06.660 I'm going to say
00:28:07.020 the word weirdo.
00:28:07.660 I know you're not
00:28:08.060 going to say that
00:28:08.460 because you're
00:28:08.700 a proper lawyer,
00:28:09.780 but he's a weirdo.
00:28:12.100 He's taking advantage
00:28:13.280 of something
00:28:15.040 that's in place.
00:28:15.880 Same with Jonathan,
00:28:16.760 and even in Vancouver.
00:28:18.260 Exactly.
00:28:18.780 So, you know,
00:28:19.560 it's fine.
00:28:20.380 We can be critical.
00:28:22.260 He's probably upset
00:28:23.420 over the fact
00:28:24.080 that people,
00:28:26.360 most parents want
00:28:27.220 a female babysitter,
00:28:28.300 right?
00:28:28.800 If he's upset about that,
00:28:30.480 fight the world,
00:28:31.100 fight human nature.
00:28:31.880 But, you know,
00:28:33.180 this is the problem
00:28:34.320 with the human rights legislation.
00:28:35.800 It needs to be amended
00:28:36.540 because it's gone from
00:28:37.720 a freedom from...
00:28:39.220 When they talked
00:28:39.620 about human rights
00:28:40.300 in 1945,
00:28:41.320 after the war,
00:28:42.140 after the Holocaust,
00:28:42.980 after everything,
00:28:43.580 the human right
00:28:44.120 was my right
00:28:44.960 to practice my religion,
00:28:46.300 my right to speak,
00:28:47.420 my right to own
00:28:47.980 and enjoy property,
00:28:49.160 my right to educate
00:28:49.900 my children
00:28:50.420 as I see best,
00:28:52.000 not as the government
00:28:52.980 or some political activists.
00:28:54.860 Those were the human rights
00:28:56.080 were those kind
00:28:56.660 of fundamental freedoms.
00:28:57.800 But now,
00:28:58.540 it's been twisted
00:28:59.140 into a claim
00:29:00.000 against other people.
00:29:01.000 So, I have a human right
00:29:02.100 or a person
00:29:03.120 has a human right
00:29:03.880 to have male genitalia
00:29:05.220 waxed by women
00:29:06.300 and to force the women
00:29:07.100 to do that
00:29:07.560 or a human right
00:29:08.340 to compel parents
00:29:10.540 that want
00:29:11.120 a female babysitter
00:29:12.480 to have to hire
00:29:13.640 a male babysitter.
00:29:15.180 This is the shift.
00:29:16.640 So, the problem
00:29:17.180 is the legislation
00:29:17.880 more so than,
00:29:18.940 I would say,
00:29:19.740 Yaniv or Sirinowski
00:29:20.800 or anybody else.
00:29:22.220 It's also the problem
00:29:22.940 of these human rights
00:29:24.080 commissions and tribunals
00:29:25.240 that tolerate
00:29:26.300 these shenanigans.
00:29:27.640 They could cut this short.
00:29:29.160 They don't have to continue
00:29:30.140 with this investigation.
00:29:30.920 They positively go out
00:29:33.680 to foment a litigation.
00:29:37.100 You know,
00:29:37.480 I remember when
00:29:38.200 I fought
00:29:39.200 the Human Rights Commission
00:29:40.320 a dozen years ago.
00:29:41.820 The phrase I used was,
00:29:43.480 it was designed
00:29:44.060 to be a shield,
00:29:45.820 it's become a sword.
00:29:47.220 Yeah.
00:29:47.700 And in this case,
00:29:49.800 I think that
00:29:51.020 James Sirinowski
00:29:51.940 has the human right
00:29:54.140 to be a male babysitter.
00:29:55.960 Absolutely.
00:29:57.340 But he's not looking
00:29:58.200 for that human.
00:29:58.760 He's got that.
00:29:59.420 He has the human right
00:30:00.760 to be a male babysitter
00:30:01.680 all day long.
00:30:03.380 He's not looking
00:30:04.060 for that right, John.
00:30:05.200 He's looking for the power
00:30:07.660 to have the state
00:30:09.660 impose himself on others.
00:30:11.700 That is not a right.
00:30:12.820 That is a compulsion.
00:30:14.520 And that's the twisting here.
00:30:16.840 And that compulsion
00:30:17.740 is characterized
00:30:18.780 as a right
00:30:19.880 to be free
00:30:20.680 from discrimination.
00:30:22.120 Yeah.
00:30:22.520 But the problem
00:30:23.100 with that is that
00:30:24.300 we all discriminate
00:30:25.280 all the time.
00:30:25.940 We discriminate
00:30:26.360 in our choice
00:30:27.580 of friends,
00:30:28.220 who you do business
00:30:29.160 with.
00:30:29.400 The phrase,
00:30:29.880 he's got a discriminating
00:30:31.860 palate,
00:30:32.580 that's a compliment.
00:30:33.500 He's got a very
00:30:33.920 discriminating taste.
00:30:34.720 He's got a very
00:30:35.280 discriminating taste.
00:30:36.580 Yeah.
00:30:37.200 So we all discriminate
00:30:38.920 and the human rights
00:30:40.180 legislation has gone
00:30:41.300 too far.
00:30:42.360 And now it's prying
00:30:43.240 into even
00:30:44.060 people's homes.
00:30:46.380 I mean,
00:30:46.600 there's a difference,
00:30:47.380 I think,
00:30:47.720 between, say,
00:30:48.600 a landlord
00:30:49.200 puts up a sign
00:30:50.160 and says,
00:30:50.580 I'm not going to rent
00:30:51.200 any of my apartments
00:30:52.120 to Jews or blacks
00:30:53.240 or gays
00:30:53.900 or women
00:30:54.280 or whatever.
00:30:55.360 This is a businessman
00:30:56.500 running kind of
00:30:57.960 a public business.
00:30:59.780 It's even different,
00:31:01.240 though,
00:31:01.480 if you're having
00:31:02.200 somebody come
00:31:02.780 into your own home.
00:31:04.500 Yeah.
00:31:04.640 Like some of these
00:31:05.300 estheticians in British Columbia
00:31:06.820 in the Yaniv case,
00:31:07.740 they're running business
00:31:08.720 out of their home
00:31:09.360 and they don't have
00:31:10.740 colleagues there
00:31:11.560 that can help them out
00:31:12.640 if there's a problem.
00:31:13.700 Yeah.
00:31:13.920 Or a babysitter.
00:31:15.020 I mean,
00:31:15.160 this is a very intimate,
00:31:16.520 personal decision.
00:31:17.180 Yeah.
00:31:17.300 Who's going to look
00:31:17.660 after your kids?
00:31:18.580 Yeah.
00:31:18.780 And even there,
00:31:20.600 the legislation should,
00:31:21.800 you know,
00:31:22.020 if we're going to keep
00:31:22.800 this stuff on the books,
00:31:24.160 it should be
00:31:24.880 within proper boundaries
00:31:26.280 where you say,
00:31:27.100 look,
00:31:27.260 if you're a landlord
00:31:29.080 and you're renting
00:31:30.140 hundreds of apartments,
00:31:31.820 you have a law saying,
00:31:32.740 well,
00:31:32.800 you can't refuse
00:31:33.620 to rent to people
00:31:34.280 because they're Jewish
00:31:35.020 or black
00:31:35.500 or female or gay.
00:31:36.720 That's one thing.
00:31:37.780 But if it's your own home.
00:31:39.100 Yeah.
00:31:39.460 You know,
00:31:39.920 I'm thinking back
00:31:40.420 to when I was a kid,
00:31:41.220 there was a neighbor,
00:31:42.960 a young boy
00:31:43.980 who was a neighbor.
00:31:44.840 He was a guy.
00:31:46.080 He babysat us once.
00:31:47.360 It was no big deal.
00:31:48.280 I mean,
00:31:48.680 we knew him,
00:31:49.520 the family,
00:31:50.300 he was just a neighbor.
00:31:50.960 He came over,
00:31:51.460 he did it.
00:31:52.120 But for this stranger
00:31:53.340 to shop around,
00:31:54.620 and here's the thing,
00:31:55.260 I was quoting earlier
00:31:56.200 from the essay
00:31:57.340 that you guys published
00:31:58.920 on this.
00:32:01.320 Here's what shocked me
00:32:02.720 and is the reason
00:32:04.160 I'm so confident
00:32:05.080 saying he's malicious
00:32:06.440 and a little bit weird
00:32:07.780 is I learned from you
00:32:09.580 that this is not his first.
00:32:13.120 Oh,
00:32:13.340 serial complaining.
00:32:14.180 Yeah.
00:32:14.460 Absolutely.
00:32:15.980 Let me quote
00:32:16.840 from your essay.
00:32:17.640 I'd like you to expand
00:32:18.240 on this.
00:32:20.900 One such complaint
00:32:21.680 has already been
00:32:22.240 completely adjudicated
00:32:23.440 all the way
00:32:24.340 to the Supreme Court
00:32:25.260 of Canada
00:32:25.940 as a test case.
00:32:27.720 In that case,
00:32:28.520 Mr. Shinovsky
00:32:29.180 filed a complaint
00:32:30.080 against the mother
00:32:31.120 of a five-year-old boy
00:32:32.680 who placed a Kijiji ad
00:32:33.880 stating her preference
00:32:34.600 for an older lady
00:32:35.340 with experience.
00:32:36.100 I can understand
00:32:36.820 why you want
00:32:37.320 an older lady
00:32:37.820 with experience.
00:32:38.800 Maternal,
00:32:39.620 grandmotherly,
00:32:40.440 that is an absolutely
00:32:41.860 legitimate,
00:32:43.360 discriminating taste.
00:32:44.780 I have a very
00:32:45.920 discriminating taste
00:32:46.800 in babysitters.
00:32:47.780 I like gentle,
00:32:49.020 old,
00:32:49.360 grandmotherly ladies.
00:32:50.700 Imagine telling a mom
00:32:51.800 you can't have that
00:32:54.000 and a human rights
00:32:56.160 investigator recommended
00:32:57.680 that the mother
00:32:58.660 be required
00:32:59.580 to pay Mr. Shinovsky
00:33:01.420 $1,000 to $1,500
00:33:02.920 for damages to dignity.
00:33:04.960 Which is a lot of money
00:33:06.060 for about 90%
00:33:07.820 of the population
00:33:08.680 to be ordered
00:33:10.540 to pay $1,000,
00:33:12.200 $1,500.
00:33:12.760 That is a huge sum
00:33:15.420 for nothing
00:33:15.900 because someone said
00:33:16.700 I want to have
00:33:17.300 a grandmotherly type
00:33:18.360 babysit my kid.
00:33:20.000 No,
00:33:20.500 I want to babysit
00:33:21.980 your kid.
00:33:23.000 You've hurt my feelings.
00:33:24.840 And I know I'm sounding
00:33:25.600 very strange here
00:33:26.480 but that's how it looks
00:33:28.080 to me,
00:33:28.540 a man saying
00:33:29.180 I demand access
00:33:30.360 to your child.
00:33:31.840 The demand is what
00:33:32.880 makes me immediately say
00:33:33.860 you are a weirdo
00:33:35.280 I don't want anywhere
00:33:36.040 near my children.
00:33:37.900 Yeah.
00:33:38.660 I know you can't say that
00:33:40.280 and you're probably
00:33:40.900 feeling uncomfortable
00:33:41.540 but anyone who sues
00:33:43.380 anyone who sues
00:33:44.440 demanding access
00:33:45.280 to a child
00:33:46.140 oh my dignity
00:33:47.520 is hurt that you're
00:33:48.180 not letting me
00:33:48.700 play with your kids.
00:33:50.020 Who are you?
00:33:51.500 I still
00:33:51.800 I hear what you're saying
00:33:53.240 and I think
00:33:54.880 the culprit here
00:33:55.940 is not Mr. Shinovsky.
00:33:57.020 Well he is a culprit.
00:33:58.220 It's the human rights
00:33:59.280 legislation.
00:34:00.100 If you have this
00:34:00.740 kind of a law
00:34:01.320 on the books
00:34:02.060 you're going to
00:34:02.960 if it's not
00:34:03.420 James Shinovsky
00:34:04.320 it'll be Jessica
00:34:05.660 you'll be somebody else.
00:34:07.160 So the problem
00:34:07.760 the problem is
00:34:08.640 the legislation
00:34:09.300 not people
00:34:10.700 the first and foremost
00:34:12.220 the problem is
00:34:12.760 the legislation
00:34:13.300 that allows this
00:34:14.400 and the Alberta
00:34:15.520 Human Rights Commission
00:34:16.440 even though it decided
00:34:17.820 in a previous case
00:34:18.940 the investigator
00:34:20.060 recommended a penalty
00:34:21.160 of a thousand
00:34:21.680 to fifteen hundred dollars
00:34:22.600 that was quashed
00:34:24.160 kiboshed
00:34:25.100 by the head
00:34:25.600 of the commission
00:34:26.120 said no
00:34:27.280 we're discontinuing
00:34:28.760 the investigation.
00:34:29.540 How long ago
00:34:29.940 was this?
00:34:30.680 About four or five
00:34:31.380 years ago.
00:34:31.800 So this was after
00:34:32.760 they allegedly
00:34:33.780 were set back
00:34:35.280 on a normal track
00:34:36.660 after my big fight
00:34:37.880 with the Alberta
00:34:38.280 Human Rights Commission
00:34:38.840 that's where they
00:34:39.340 said oh we're going
00:34:40.300 to fix up our system.
00:34:41.580 So this went
00:34:42.980 all the way up?
00:34:43.440 They said
00:34:43.860 so the Human Rights
00:34:44.620 Commission
00:34:45.000 five years ago
00:34:45.800 said no to
00:34:46.540 James Shinovsky
00:34:47.580 said you know
00:34:48.780 they started
00:34:49.160 the investigation
00:34:49.820 they concluded
00:34:50.380 the investigation
00:34:50.940 by saying
00:34:51.680 we're not going
00:34:52.460 to proceed
00:34:52.820 further to a complaint
00:34:53.660 there will not
00:34:54.120 be a hearing
00:34:54.600 this is not
00:34:55.340 going any further.
00:34:56.920 Okay.
00:34:57.720 Then he took that
00:34:58.520 to the Court
00:34:59.140 of Queen's Bench
00:34:59.720 then the Court
00:35:00.160 of Appeal.
00:35:00.780 Who paid for
00:35:01.120 his lawyers?
00:35:01.840 Did he do it
00:35:02.620 on his own
00:35:03.020 or did he have
00:35:03.400 a lawyer?
00:35:03.840 Presumably
00:35:04.200 well he would
00:35:04.860 have been
00:35:05.240 self-represented
00:35:05.900 or he would
00:35:06.420 have had a lawyer
00:35:06.980 that would not
00:35:07.900 have been paid
00:35:08.320 for by the
00:35:09.080 Human Rights
00:35:09.720 Commission.
00:35:09.980 Right but I
00:35:10.400 wonder who's
00:35:11.240 bankrolling
00:35:11.840 because to
00:35:12.700 go to a
00:35:13.480 Court of Appeal
00:35:14.060 and did that
00:35:14.840 one go all the
00:35:15.280 way to the
00:35:15.540 Supreme Court
00:35:15.920 of Canada?
00:35:16.640 They asked
00:35:17.180 for leave
00:35:17.600 to appeal
00:35:18.120 and the
00:35:18.460 Supreme Court
00:35:18.800 turned it down
00:35:19.460 so it didn't
00:35:20.680 go to a
00:35:21.160 full hearing
00:35:21.780 there.
00:35:22.480 They refused
00:35:22.880 to hear it.
00:35:23.180 Right.
00:35:23.700 Someone with
00:35:24.320 that kind
00:35:25.020 of stubbornness
00:35:26.180 that kind
00:35:27.160 of obsession
00:35:27.940 if I just
00:35:29.760 heard that
00:35:30.240 about someone
00:35:30.660 I'd say
00:35:30.920 yeah no thanks
00:35:31.700 I don't want
00:35:32.260 you in my
00:35:33.300 life at all
00:35:34.040 let alone
00:35:34.620 unattended
00:35:35.900 with my kids
00:35:36.760 I find it
00:35:37.740 very weird
00:35:38.320 But then the
00:35:38.620 Commission
00:35:38.920 here's the
00:35:39.380 problem
00:35:39.680 so the
00:35:40.300 Commission
00:35:40.640 decided five
00:35:41.840 years ago
00:35:42.380 that Sirinowski's
00:35:44.180 complaint was
00:35:44.800 not valid
00:35:45.360 they won
00:35:46.760 three
00:35:47.680 at least two
00:35:48.720 arguably three
00:35:49.460 court rounds
00:35:50.380 of court
00:35:50.960 proceedings
00:35:51.340 the Human Rights
00:35:51.800 Commission won
00:35:52.400 in court
00:35:53.000 the court said
00:35:54.240 that that was
00:35:55.380 an acceptable
00:35:56.240 decision
00:35:56.760 to refuse
00:35:57.780 to take this
00:35:58.800 further to a
00:35:59.240 hearing
00:35:59.440 then a few
00:36:01.280 years go
00:36:01.680 by
00:36:01.980 what are
00:36:02.620 they doing
00:36:02.940 they're
00:36:03.560 investigating
00:36:04.040 another
00:36:04.400 complaint
00:36:04.820 like they're
00:36:05.440 not even
00:36:05.800 adhering to
00:36:06.380 their own
00:36:06.700 precedent
00:36:07.100 their own
00:36:07.680 precedent is
00:36:08.440 that this
00:36:08.960 was not
00:36:09.360 valid
00:36:09.740 they're just
00:36:10.280 as stupid
00:36:10.720 as when I
00:36:11.280 fought with
00:36:11.640 them a dozen
00:36:12.040 years ago
00:36:12.420 on the
00:36:12.600 cartoon
00:36:12.860 it seems
00:36:13.240 you've got
00:36:13.640 some you
00:36:14.600 know activist
00:36:15.300 ideologue
00:36:15.880 types
00:36:16.360 that and I
00:36:17.640 don't think
00:36:17.960 they have any
00:36:18.380 compassion for
00:36:19.400 the victims
00:36:20.760 of these human
00:36:21.720 rights investigations
00:36:22.620 because it's
00:36:23.720 incredibly stressful
00:36:24.660 you are more
00:36:26.460 thick skin than
00:36:27.120 the average
00:36:27.440 I know it was
00:36:27.940 stressful for you
00:36:28.680 to go through
00:36:29.360 what you went
00:36:30.200 through right
00:36:30.660 but you're
00:36:31.160 you got thicker
00:36:32.220 skin than most
00:36:32.940 but imagine
00:36:33.780 somebody that
00:36:34.380 doesn't have
00:36:34.780 yeah like a
00:36:35.180 normal person
00:36:35.860 or like someone
00:36:36.660 who's busy
00:36:37.120 and doesn't have
00:36:37.560 a lot of cash
00:36:38.040 like a single dad
00:36:38.720 and then you've
00:36:39.700 got this human
00:36:40.280 rights prosecution
00:36:40.980 against you
00:36:41.480 it's very stressful
00:36:42.340 we're representing
00:36:43.560 actually there's
00:36:44.220 Todd and there's
00:36:45.120 there's another
00:36:45.900 lady as well
00:36:46.860 a separate
00:36:47.520 different case
00:36:48.160 so this James
00:36:48.800 Sirinowski
00:36:49.220 is a serial
00:36:49.800 complainer
00:36:50.280 just like
00:36:50.860 Jonathan Yaniv
00:36:51.480 is a serial
00:36:51.920 complainer
00:36:52.580 yes I don't
00:36:53.700 know if it's
00:36:54.140 the same numbers
00:36:55.000 but definitely
00:36:55.760 serial
00:36:56.160 so he's
00:36:56.800 he's gamed
00:36:57.040 the system
00:36:57.560 he needs to
00:36:59.780 be smacked
00:37:00.260 down so hard
00:37:01.040 I'm glad you're
00:37:01.560 on the case
00:37:02.000 I'm glad you're
00:37:02.640 helping out Todd
00:37:03.680 and this other
00:37:04.220 mum
00:37:04.540 I got a question
00:37:06.060 for you
00:37:06.300 I remember when
00:37:06.780 I was dragged
00:37:07.260 through the
00:37:07.520 human rights
00:37:07.880 commission
00:37:08.140 about a dozen
00:37:08.640 years ago
00:37:09.060 and I sought
00:37:09.840 to make myself
00:37:10.540 sort of a
00:37:11.000 self-taught expert
00:37:11.960 in the human
00:37:12.540 rights commission
00:37:13.060 I read about
00:37:13.820 its history
00:37:14.340 I read about
00:37:15.040 the people
00:37:15.960 on the commission
00:37:17.600 itself
00:37:18.020 and then you
00:37:18.460 wrote shakedown
00:37:19.140 that's right
00:37:19.680 thank you for that
00:37:20.600 and one of the
00:37:21.720 things I did
00:37:22.400 and this was a
00:37:23.860 dozen years ago
00:37:24.400 when it was
00:37:24.880 less to read
00:37:25.660 I read every
00:37:27.080 single ruling
00:37:28.260 the human rights
00:37:29.160 commission wrote
00:37:30.220 like I just went
00:37:31.540 started and worked
00:37:32.620 my way backwards
00:37:33.340 I read every
00:37:34.220 single decision
00:37:34.900 and what I found
00:37:37.180 is that these
00:37:37.760 really weird
00:37:38.640 punitive decisions
00:37:39.800 were not their
00:37:40.960 main body of work
00:37:42.620 in Alberta at least
00:37:44.560 where I focused
00:37:45.260 on this
00:37:45.720 a lot of them
00:37:46.620 were you know
00:37:47.720 guys in the oil
00:37:49.120 gas industry
00:37:49.840 and construction
00:37:50.400 who didn't like
00:37:51.200 taking a urine
00:37:52.080 test for drugs
00:37:54.360 or an alcohol
00:37:55.380 so they were
00:37:56.000 really guys
00:37:57.260 who got
00:37:59.400 they were fired
00:38:00.460 and got
00:38:01.240 whatever their
00:38:02.160 union or
00:38:02.780 employment law
00:38:03.560 would offer them
00:38:04.320 and then they
00:38:05.840 went to the
00:38:06.160 human rights
00:38:06.540 commission
00:38:06.900 with a crazy
00:38:07.980 claim
00:38:08.420 just for an
00:38:09.980 extra 5 or
00:38:10.480 10 grand
00:38:11.000 it seemed to me
00:38:12.060 that these
00:38:12.360 insane political
00:38:13.160 cases
00:38:13.660 were like the
00:38:15.960 icing on the
00:38:16.500 cake
00:38:16.700 but the cake
00:38:17.260 itself
00:38:17.640 what kept
00:38:18.100 these people
00:38:18.520 these human
00:38:18.940 rights
00:38:19.120 commissions
00:38:19.400 busy
00:38:19.860 was just
00:38:21.160 guys who
00:38:22.120 said what
00:38:22.420 the hell
00:38:22.760 I got
00:38:23.640 I got laid
00:38:24.500 off
00:38:24.800 I got 20
00:38:25.440 grand
00:38:25.780 I think I
00:38:26.740 can get
00:38:26.960 another 5 or
00:38:27.500 10 grand
00:38:27.960 by saying
00:38:28.640 they hurt
00:38:29.540 my feelings
00:38:30.100 that's what
00:38:30.540 it looked
00:38:30.780 like to me
00:38:31.340 that was
00:38:32.080 it's been
00:38:32.560 10 years
00:38:33.020 since I've
00:38:33.360 really gone
00:38:33.740 through them
00:38:34.220 here's my
00:38:35.740 question for
00:38:36.260 you
00:38:36.540 and my
00:38:38.900 point is
00:38:39.340 there was
00:38:39.720 never any
00:38:40.180 legitimate
00:38:40.520 work for
00:38:41.020 them
00:38:41.220 there weren't
00:38:42.260 I never
00:38:43.040 once encountered
00:38:44.080 a genuine
00:38:44.880 case where
00:38:45.520 I thought
00:38:45.940 oh my god
00:38:46.860 this person
00:38:47.460 has been so
00:38:48.320 hard done
00:38:49.420 by so
00:38:49.920 unfairly
00:38:50.440 treated
00:38:50.600 so are you
00:38:51.280 saying that
00:38:52.240 in my example
00:38:53.420 of the landlord
00:38:54.600 who's running a
00:38:55.400 business who has
00:38:56.100 multiple apartments
00:38:56.680 show me such a case
00:38:57.500 show me such a case
00:38:58.480 in 10 years
00:38:59.220 that's my point
00:38:59.900 is I read all the
00:39:00.760 cases and I never
00:39:01.740 found a case
00:39:02.260 like that
00:39:02.880 because those
00:39:03.700 bogeymen don't
00:39:04.440 exist at least
00:39:05.040 when I sat down
00:39:06.380 10 years ago
00:39:07.440 and read every
00:39:08.160 single case
00:39:08.800 I never found
00:39:10.100 one case like
00:39:11.400 that
00:39:11.780 and by the way
00:39:12.780 somebody was
00:39:13.140 denied an
00:39:13.600 apartment
00:39:13.860 because of
00:39:14.440 their religion
00:39:14.900 and their race
00:39:15.800 and by the way
00:39:16.460 if you have
00:39:16.880 a problem
00:39:17.260 in most
00:39:18.100 provinces
00:39:18.520 or cities
00:39:19.220 there's something
00:39:19.680 called the
00:39:20.060 landlord and
00:39:20.720 tenant board
00:39:21.540 right
00:39:22.360 so if you
00:39:23.300 there's a
00:39:24.360 labor relations
00:39:25.300 board
00:39:25.780 so if you've
00:39:26.840 got a problem
00:39:27.200 with employment
00:39:27.780 that's handled
00:39:28.640 if you've got
00:39:28.980 a problem
00:39:29.320 with your
00:39:29.600 apartment
00:39:29.960 that's handled
00:39:30.800 by expert
00:39:31.380 bodies
00:39:31.780 and by the
00:39:32.840 way
00:39:33.100 no sane
00:39:34.540 landlord
00:39:35.140 would dare
00:39:36.120 do that
00:39:36.820 they'd be
00:39:37.240 flattened
00:39:38.160 not just
00:39:38.820 by these
00:39:39.700 boards
00:39:40.040 but by the
00:39:40.700 court of public
00:39:41.160 opinion
00:39:41.420 try
00:39:41.980 I mean
00:39:42.580 if you're
00:39:43.040 a racist
00:39:43.500 landlord
00:39:43.960 in Toronto
00:39:44.460 good luck
00:39:44.960 I mean
00:39:45.220 you'll be
00:39:46.440 out of business
00:39:46.880 in a moment
00:39:47.340 my point to you
00:39:49.380 and it was
00:39:49.600 a very long
00:39:50.000 preamble is
00:39:50.620 I never once
00:39:51.900 saw a case
00:39:52.560 that made me
00:39:52.960 think
00:39:53.200 you know
00:39:53.760 in this
00:39:54.140 one example
00:39:54.940 thank goodness
00:39:56.160 for the
00:39:56.460 Human Rights
00:39:56.920 Commission
00:39:57.440 they did
00:39:58.460 justice
00:39:58.920 I never
00:39:59.500 actually once
00:40:00.500 even saw
00:40:01.420 even once
00:40:02.720 this hypothetical
00:40:04.660 you're talking
00:40:05.380 about
00:40:05.560 have you ever
00:40:06.660 seen
00:40:07.620 a case
00:40:08.720 in the Alberta
00:40:09.240 Human Rights
00:40:09.660 Commission
00:40:09.900 the BC
00:40:10.300 Human Rights
00:40:10.860 Tribunal
00:40:11.380 or anyone
00:40:12.140 and just tell
00:40:13.000 me if you
00:40:13.280 have
00:40:13.520 because I
00:40:13.780 want to
00:40:14.000 hear it
00:40:14.400 have you
00:40:15.120 ever seen
00:40:15.840 a case
00:40:16.300 that made
00:40:16.620 you say
00:40:17.020 you know
00:40:17.420 what
00:40:17.740 justice
00:40:19.240 was done
00:40:19.860 here
00:40:20.120 I'm glad
00:40:20.780 of this
00:40:21.180 decision
00:40:21.700 99 others
00:40:22.740 might be
00:40:23.100 awful
00:40:23.340 but this
00:40:23.720 one's good
00:40:24.140 can you
00:40:24.620 name one
00:40:24.980 good case
00:40:25.540 well
00:40:25.980 two part
00:40:26.500 answer
00:40:26.860 firstly
00:40:27.740 no
00:40:28.440 yeah
00:40:28.900 but
00:40:29.980 you know
00:40:30.680 I also
00:40:31.460 I don't
00:40:32.560 I don't
00:40:32.960 claim to
00:40:33.340 have read
00:40:33.640 every human
00:40:34.080 rights
00:40:34.280 decision
00:40:34.620 that would
00:40:35.340 be many
00:40:35.860 many hours
00:40:36.920 because you've
00:40:37.360 got the
00:40:38.020 the federal
00:40:38.760 and 10
00:40:39.460 provincial
00:40:40.000 yeah I only
00:40:40.680 read every
00:40:41.120 I read all
00:40:41.700 them in
00:40:41.960 Alberta
00:40:42.300 read a lot
00:40:43.240 in BC
00:40:43.700 and I read
00:40:44.260 a number
00:40:44.620 in Saskatchewan
00:40:45.340 okay
00:40:45.700 so you read
00:40:46.280 all the Alberta
00:40:46.740 cases
00:40:46.960 every Alberta
00:40:47.660 case
00:40:48.020 every single
00:40:48.880 one
00:40:49.180 and I never
00:40:50.220 found anything
00:40:51.620 that made me say
00:40:52.320 justice was done
00:40:53.520 and I would
00:40:54.440 and I would tell
00:40:54.640 you if I had
00:40:55.280 John
00:40:56.060 I know you
00:40:56.380 would
00:40:56.540 I think this
00:40:57.560 is a case
00:40:58.120 you know
00:40:58.440 people have
00:40:58.860 said the same
00:40:59.300 thing about
00:40:59.720 other things
00:41:00.280 about unions
00:41:01.100 you know
00:41:01.560 there was a
00:41:01.980 time and a
00:41:02.560 place when
00:41:03.000 it was
00:41:03.200 appropriate
00:41:03.640 you know
00:41:04.380 but now
00:41:05.400 there's
00:41:05.680 excesses
00:41:06.300 and abuses
00:41:06.700 I think
00:41:07.900 that the
00:41:08.620 idea that
00:41:09.200 Canadians
00:41:09.660 cling to
00:41:10.620 and like
00:41:11.200 is that
00:41:12.220 we should
00:41:12.860 not have
00:41:13.380 a country
00:41:13.920 where
00:41:14.380 some
00:41:15.300 employer
00:41:16.900 business
00:41:17.640 landlord
00:41:18.180 could say
00:41:18.840 we don't
00:41:19.460 serve Jews
00:41:20.100 we don't hire
00:41:20.620 blacks
00:41:21.120 that you
00:41:22.160 don't want
00:41:22.720 that kind
00:41:23.400 of bigotry
00:41:24.720 but the
00:41:25.420 problem is
00:41:26.180 right
00:41:26.580 the word
00:41:28.080 discrimination
00:41:29.060 can be
00:41:29.700 legitimate
00:41:30.100 like parents
00:41:31.020 wanting a
00:41:32.660 female babysitter
00:41:33.480 or a
00:41:35.360 religious
00:41:35.640 organization
00:41:36.160 wants to
00:41:36.860 hire
00:41:37.180 adherents
00:41:38.200 who are
00:41:38.940 members
00:41:39.420 or practicing
00:41:40.020 of that
00:41:40.760 religion
00:41:41.140 you have
00:41:41.880 all kinds
00:41:42.280 of healthy
00:41:42.980 legitimate
00:41:43.640 valid
00:41:44.260 discrimination
00:41:44.920 and these
00:41:46.400 laws need
00:41:46.760 to be
00:41:47.000 reformed
00:41:47.540 so that
00:41:47.820 they're
00:41:48.020 targeting
00:41:48.600 real bigotry
00:41:49.660 but they're
00:41:50.380 not trying
00:41:50.720 to stamp
00:41:51.080 out
00:41:51.260 legitimate
00:41:51.720 discrimination
00:41:52.380 like in
00:41:53.200 this
00:41:53.440 Sirinowski
00:41:53.980 babysitting
00:41:54.480 case
00:41:54.800 if you
00:41:55.140 watch
00:41:55.520 some
00:41:55.720 of
00:41:55.820 these
00:41:56.000 sensationalistic
00:41:57.120 dystopian
00:41:58.820 works of
00:41:59.780 fiction on
00:42:00.220 TV like
00:42:00.900 The Handmaid's
00:42:01.740 Tale
00:42:01.920 you might
00:42:02.620 think oh my
00:42:03.120 god
00:42:03.460 there's
00:42:04.300 bigotry
00:42:04.800 everywhere
00:42:05.240 I think
00:42:06.000 the Human
00:42:06.300 Rights
00:42:06.560 Commission
00:42:07.060 likes to
00:42:08.500 think of
00:42:08.760 themselves
00:42:09.040 as fighting
00:42:09.580 against
00:42:10.040 The Handmaid's
00:42:10.660 Tale
00:42:10.780 future
00:42:11.140 fighting
00:42:11.420 against
00:42:11.680 some
00:42:11.880 horrific
00:42:12.520 bigotry
00:42:12.900 as the
00:42:13.080 BC Human
00:42:13.460 Rights
00:42:13.640 Tribunal
00:42:13.960 said
00:42:14.240 in the
00:42:14.460 Yaniv
00:42:14.660 case
00:42:14.940 in a
00:42:15.180 preliminary
00:42:15.600 ruling
00:42:16.120 on
00:42:16.380 procedural
00:42:16.760 matters
00:42:17.280 they actually
00:42:18.120 said
00:42:18.620 Yaniv
00:42:20.120 has a
00:42:20.700 right
00:42:21.140 to
00:42:21.920 gender
00:42:22.540 affirming
00:42:23.140 care
00:42:23.600 including
00:42:24.580 services
00:42:25.880 like
00:42:26.600 waxing
00:42:27.080 and we
00:42:27.280 have to
00:42:27.560 balance
00:42:27.880 that
00:42:28.160 right
00:42:28.600 against
00:42:29.600 the
00:42:29.800 rights
00:42:30.080 of
00:42:30.440 women
00:42:30.680 who
00:42:31.220 are
00:42:31.360 also
00:42:31.760 vulnerable
00:42:31.900 they're
00:42:32.080 the
00:42:32.200 monsters
00:42:32.600 and in
00:42:33.580 particular
00:42:33.960 I tell
00:42:34.380 you
00:42:34.580 more and
00:42:35.540 more I
00:42:35.920 see
00:42:36.240 the
00:42:36.680 victims
00:42:37.120 of the
00:42:37.680 trans
00:42:38.040 extremists
00:42:38.620 are
00:42:39.180 women
00:42:39.520 and
00:42:39.760 feminists
00:42:40.280 we can
00:42:40.980 talk about
00:42:41.380 that another
00:42:41.740 time
00:42:42.060 the war
00:42:43.920 on
00:42:44.420 women
00:42:44.880 is not
00:42:46.120 being
00:42:46.480 prosecuted
00:42:47.360 by
00:42:47.700 Christian
00:42:48.620 men
00:42:49.160 like
00:42:49.920 in
00:42:50.340 Handmaid's
00:42:51.500 Tale
00:42:51.620 the war
00:42:52.100 on women
00:42:52.640 is being
00:42:53.120 prosecuted
00:42:53.840 by trans
00:42:55.040 men
00:42:55.720 to women
00:42:56.460 trans
00:42:57.300 extirpating
00:42:58.620 women
00:42:58.880 from sport
00:42:59.720 extirpating
00:43:00.800 women
00:43:01.120 from
00:43:01.500 sensitive
00:43:02.600 and private
00:43:03.460 professions
00:43:04.520 or occupations
00:43:05.360 like
00:43:05.720 waxing
00:43:06.840 Brazilian
00:43:07.420 bikini
00:43:07.820 wax
00:43:07.980 pushing
00:43:10.500 their way
00:43:11.080 you know
00:43:11.840 kicking out
00:43:13.100 the older
00:43:13.740 lady with
00:43:14.360 experience
00:43:14.920 and saying
00:43:15.420 I'm the
00:43:16.000 babysitter
00:43:16.920 no
00:43:17.360 and I
00:43:18.660 know
00:43:19.140 you're
00:43:19.380 probably
00:43:19.580 saying
00:43:19.800 Ezra
00:43:19.960 why
00:43:20.140 are you
00:43:20.240 making
00:43:20.400 that
00:43:20.580 funny
00:43:20.800 sound
00:43:21.080 because
00:43:21.820 it's
00:43:23.300 the
00:43:23.820 sheer
00:43:24.400 audacity
00:43:25.600 of being
00:43:26.200 so
00:43:26.600 unneighborly
00:43:27.880 unnatural
00:43:29.140 and saying
00:43:29.760 I may
00:43:30.400 be odious
00:43:31.180 and I
00:43:31.860 may be
00:43:32.400 I may
00:43:33.740 lack
00:43:34.020 interpersonal
00:43:34.500 skills
00:43:35.020 I may
00:43:35.820 be abusive
00:43:36.360 but I
00:43:36.720 got the
00:43:37.080 law
00:43:37.420 on my
00:43:37.980 side
00:43:38.300 so you're
00:43:38.700 going to
00:43:38.920 kiss the
00:43:39.340 ring
00:43:39.600 that's
00:43:40.280 what makes
00:43:40.860 me so
00:43:41.280 frustrated
00:43:41.680 with all
00:43:41.980 these
00:43:42.140 cases
00:43:42.580 we're
00:43:44.300 going to
00:43:44.460 keep
00:43:44.620 on
00:43:44.800 until
00:43:45.140 the
00:43:45.360 laws
00:43:45.620 are
00:43:45.800 changed
00:43:46.220 we're
00:43:46.600 going
00:43:46.700 to
00:43:46.780 keep
00:43:46.920 on
00:43:47.060 seeing
00:43:47.240 more
00:43:47.440 of
00:43:47.540 these
00:43:47.660 cases
00:43:48.040 and
00:43:49.020 I'm
00:43:49.280 hopeful
00:43:49.560 that
00:43:49.960 we can
00:43:51.240 get the
00:43:51.620 legislative
00:43:52.060 reforms
00:43:52.640 as
00:43:53.180 more and
00:43:54.160 more
00:43:54.280 Canadians
00:43:54.660 recognize
00:43:55.140 that we've
00:43:55.720 got a
00:43:55.920 real problem
00:43:56.460 with the
00:43:57.440 law
00:43:57.660 as it
00:43:57.960 exists
00:43:58.540 right now
00:43:59.040 I got
00:43:59.400 one last
00:44:00.120 question
00:44:00.380 for you
00:44:00.680 on this
00:44:00.980 I appreciate
00:44:01.420 your time
00:44:01.840 it's great
00:44:02.180 to see you
00:44:02.580 in our
00:44:02.780 studio
00:44:03.040 thanks
00:44:03.340 for
00:44:03.560 making
00:44:03.960 the
00:44:04.120 visit
00:44:04.340 for four
00:44:06.760 years
00:44:07.060 Alberta
00:44:07.440 was run
00:44:08.020 by the
00:44:08.420 NDP
00:44:08.740 which is
00:44:09.720 very much
00:44:10.340 into the
00:44:10.740 grievance
00:44:11.140 industry
00:44:11.660 and
00:44:12.880 litigation
00:44:13.760 and
00:44:14.520 expanding
00:44:15.140 rights
00:44:15.760 beyond
00:44:16.240 any
00:44:16.640 normal
00:44:17.360 conception
00:44:17.840 Jason
00:44:19.440 Kenney
00:44:19.900 is very
00:44:20.740 different
00:44:21.200 or at least
00:44:21.800 he was
00:44:22.240 when I
00:44:22.580 knew him
00:44:22.980 and
00:44:24.160 I would
00:44:24.660 even
00:44:24.800 call him
00:44:25.080 a social
00:44:25.400 conservative
00:44:25.940 I know
00:44:27.920 he was
00:44:28.180 quite
00:44:28.340 sympathetic
00:44:28.680 to me
00:44:29.080 during
00:44:29.220 my own
00:44:29.740 human
00:44:30.020 rights
00:44:30.340 commission
00:44:30.800 ordeal
00:44:31.260 however
00:44:33.000 the
00:44:33.260 justice
00:44:33.560 minister
00:44:34.040 in
00:44:34.220 Alberta
00:44:34.580 is
00:44:34.880 an
00:44:35.080 out
00:44:35.300 of
00:44:35.420 control
00:44:35.940 lefty
00:44:36.560 red
00:44:36.780 Tory
00:44:37.000 named
00:44:37.220 Doug
00:44:37.440 Schweitzer
00:44:37.800 he's
00:44:38.580 coming
00:44:38.780 for
00:44:39.000 us
00:44:39.220 by
00:44:39.400 the
00:44:39.500 way
00:44:39.700 do
00:44:40.740 you
00:44:41.020 think
00:44:41.380 there
00:44:41.580 is
00:44:41.740 any
00:44:41.940 chance
00:44:42.420 that

00:44:46.960 Doug
00:44:47.220 Schweitzer
00:44:47.620 will
00:44:48.340 do
00:44:48.540 anything
00:44:48.800 to
00:44:49.020 fix
00:44:49.240 it
00:44:49.360 because
00:44:49.560 at
00:44:49.700 the
00:44:49.820 end
00:44:49.940 of

00:44:54.040 with
00:44:54.200 its
00:44:54.360 own
00:44:54.520 money
00:44:54.820 its
00:44:55.360 own

00:44:55.880 or
00:44:56.020 its
00:44:56.120 own
00:44:56.260 authority
00:44:56.640 it
00:44:57.100 relies
00:44:57.420 on
00:44:57.620 Jason
00:44:57.900 Kenney
00:44:58.160 to
00:44:58.300 fund
00:44:58.540 it
00:44:58.660 and
00:44:59.080 Jason
00:44:59.340 Kenney
00:44:59.620 statutes
00:45:00.260 to give
00:45:00.620 it
00:45:00.740 its
00:45:00.880 power
00:45:01.200 is
00:45:02.180 there
00:45:02.360 any
00:45:02.700 chance
00:45:03.100 of
00:45:03.280 reform
00:45:03.660 or
00:45:03.960 has
00:45:04.120 Doug
00:45:04.300 Schweitzer
00:45:04.620 kiboshed
00:45:05.180 that
00:45:05.380 I think
00:45:06.180 there's
00:45:06.440 always
00:45:06.740 a chance
00:45:07.720 for
00:45:08.220 reform
00:45:09.280 if
00:45:10.100 you
00:45:10.400 don't
00:45:10.580 know
00:45:10.740 until
00:45:10.960 you
00:45:11.120 try
00:45:11.420 it
00:45:13.060 was
00:45:13.220 hopeful
00:45:13.480 there's
00:45:13.740 a hopeful
00:45:14.040 sign
00:45:14.460 in
00:45:14.700 Jason
00:45:15.640 Kenney
00:45:15.980 is
00:45:16.140 appointed
00:45:16.480 for
00:45:16.740 example
00:45:17.100 Moin
00:45:17.380 Yahya
00:45:17.680 is
00:45:18.380 a
00:45:18.680 law
00:45:18.960 professor
00:45:19.360 at
00:45:19.620 the
00:45:19.740 University
00:45:20.120 of
00:45:20.340 Alberta
00:45:20.680 happens
00:45:21.520 to be
00:45:21.820 a
00:45:21.960 Muslim
00:45:22.240 happens
00:45:22.700 to be
00:45:23.140 a
00:45:23.560 strong
00:45:23.900 libertarian
00:45:24.780 I know
00:45:26.160 Moin
00:45:26.340 good
00:45:26.520 guy
00:45:26.880 and
00:45:27.260 he
00:45:27.360 pointed
00:45:27.580 him
00:45:27.700 to
00:45:27.820 what
00:45:28.000 to
00:45:28.840 the
00:45:29.000 Human
00:45:29.160 Rights
00:45:29.380 Commission
00:45:29.760 oh
00:45:30.960 isn't
00:45:31.360 that
00:45:31.580 interesting
00:45:32.100 and
00:45:32.580 there's
00:45:32.840 two or
00:45:33.360 three
00:45:33.520 others
00:45:33.900 that
00:45:34.260 are
00:45:35.700 I think
00:45:36.340 going to
00:45:36.640 be
00:45:37.160 decent
00:45:37.840 no
00:45:39.140 better
00:45:39.360 than
00:45:39.540 decent
00:45:39.720 they'll
00:45:39.880 be
00:45:40.000 good
00:45:40.320 commissioners
00:45:41.160 now
00:45:41.600 that's
00:45:41.820 a
00:45:41.920 separate
00:45:42.100 question
00:45:42.420 from
00:45:42.640 legislative
00:45:43.080 reform
00:45:43.500 right
00:45:43.680 because
00:45:43.820 putting
00:45:44.080 good
00:45:44.500 people
00:45:44.800 in
00:45:44.960 a
00:45:45.040 bad
00:45:45.240 system
00:45:45.700 probably
00:45:46.720 means
00:45:47.040 you'll
00:45:47.200 see
00:45:47.360 less
00:45:47.640 abuse
00:45:47.980 like
00:45:48.180 this
00:45:48.360 but
00:45:48.540 the
00:45:48.680 system
00:45:49.020 remains
00:45:49.580 the
00:45:50.020 muscles
00:45:50.480 remain
00:45:51.600 so
00:45:51.980 they
00:45:52.660 can
00:45:52.800 still
00:45:53.000 be
00:45:53.160 used
00:45:53.480 when
00:45:54.600 Moin
00:45:54.840 Yahya
00:45:55.240 and
00:45:55.500 the
00:45:55.640 others
00:45:56.020 are
00:45:56.600 replaced
00:45:57.040 in
00:45:57.300 four
00:45:57.560 or
00:45:57.720 eight
00:45:57.860 or
00:45:57.980 sixteen
00:45:58.320 years
00:45:58.760 the
00:45:59.580 powers
00:46:00.040 that
00:46:00.300 they
00:46:00.500 perhaps
00:46:01.220 use
00:46:02.120 gently
00:46:02.720 can
00:46:03.000 be
00:46:03.160 abused
00:46:03.580 again
00:46:03.920 in
00:46:04.040 the
00:46:04.140 future
00:46:04.460 well
00:46:05.100 there's
00:46:05.300 one
00:46:05.440 legislative
00:46:05.860 reform
00:46:06.300 that
00:46:06.460 can
00:46:06.620 make
00:46:06.740 quite
00:46:06.940 easily
00:46:07.260 which
00:46:07.620 I
00:46:07.840 don't
00:46:07.960 even
00:46:08.140 think
00:46:08.500 Doug
00:46:09.000 Schweitzer
00:46:09.400 other
00:46:10.300 people
00:46:12.180 in
00:46:12.460 the
00:46:12.760 caucus
00:46:13.040 would
00:46:13.400 really
00:46:14.040 be
00:46:14.220 opposed
00:46:14.520 to
00:46:14.740 is
00:46:14.940 to
00:46:15.100 amend
00:46:15.320 the
00:46:15.460 legislation
00:46:15.920 to
00:46:16.360 expressly
00:46:17.220 exempt
00:46:17.680 services
00:46:18.560 that
00:46:21.600 received
00:46:21.720 in
00:46:21.880 the
00:46:22.000 home
00:46:22.200 you
00:46:22.840 can
00:46:23.060 pass
00:46:23.380 that
00:46:23.600 legislative
00:46:24.080 amendment
00:46:24.460 very
00:46:25.020 easily
00:46:25.400 and
00:46:25.840 you
00:46:26.640 know
00:46:26.760 you
00:46:27.100 then
00:46:27.580 are
00:46:28.000 on
00:46:28.460 the
00:46:28.560 way
00:46:28.740 to
00:46:29.080 better
00:46:29.620 legislation
00:46:30.180 so
00:46:31.020 I
00:46:31.160 think
00:46:31.340 people
00:46:31.640 should
00:46:31.880 never
00:46:32.220 be
00:46:32.860 so
00:46:33.440 pessimistic
00:46:34.320 as
00:46:34.680 to
00:46:34.880 refrain
00:46:35.200 from
00:46:35.400 making
00:46:35.580 the
00:46:35.740 effort
00:46:35.960 you
00:46:36.380 don't
00:46:36.540 know
00:46:36.680 until
00:46:36.880 you've
00:46:37.100 tried
00:46:37.360 and
00:46:37.980 I
00:46:38.080 think
00:46:38.220 there
00:46:38.400 is
00:46:38.660 a
00:46:39.060 possibility
00:46:39.580 for
00:46:40.140 improvements
00:46:40.960 in
00:46:41.320 Alberta
00:46:41.800 and
00:46:42.140 Ontario
00:46:42.540 and
00:46:42.940 other
00:46:43.160 provinces
00:46:43.600 to
00:46:44.600 the
00:46:44.740 legislation
00:46:45.200 even
00:46:45.560 British
00:46:45.820 Columbia
00:46:46.140 you
00:46:47.280 could
00:46:47.440 see
00:46:47.640 changes
00:46:47.920 to
00:46:51.600 well I
00:46:52.800 hope
00:46:52.940 you're
00:46:53.100 right
00:46:53.260 and
00:46:53.500 I
00:46:53.640 say
00:46:53.920 it
00:46:54.060 again
00:46:54.280 I've
00:46:54.500 said
00:46:54.720 it
00:46:54.860 a
00:46:55.000 hundred
00:46:55.220 times
00:46:55.680 that
00:46:56.220 you
00:46:56.380 are
00:46:56.520 one
00:46:56.700 of
00:46:56.800 the
00:46:56.920 few
00:46:57.100 good
00:46:57.320 guys
00:46:57.620 fighting
00:46:58.060 in

00:46:58.980 of

00:46:59.940 as

00:47:00.160 court
00:47:00.280 of

00:48:45.060 about a
00:48:45.480 hero
00:48:45.720 being
00:48:46.000 smeared
00:48:46.380 after
00:48:46.600 raising
00:48:46.900 over a
00:48:47.180 million
00:48:47.320 dollars
00:48:47.580 for
00:48:47.720 charity
00:48:48.020 Jan
00:48:48.360 writes
00:48:48.800 let's
00:48:49.920 ask
00:48:50.100 the
00:48:50.260 obvious
00:48:50.620 the
00:48:50.820 beer
00:48:51.060 hero
00:48:51.420 was
00:48:51.940 republican
00:48:52.420 wasn't
00:48:52.860 he
00:48:53.000 well you
00:48:54.080 know
00:48:54.220 what
00:48:54.400 I
00:48:54.740 think
00:48:55.480 that
00:48:55.740 is
00:48:56.180 instinctively
00:48:57.440 right
00:48:57.900 a young
00:48:59.000 man
00:48:59.480 from
00:48:59.740 Iowa
00:49:00.160 I'm
00:49:00.660 just
00:49:00.980 guessing
00:49:01.460 he's
00:49:01.760 republican
00:49:02.240 and
00:49:03.440 I
00:49:04.060 think
00:49:04.260 you
00:49:04.400 could
00:49:04.560 see
00:49:04.860 that
00:49:05.140 the
00:49:05.540 smearer
00:49:06.220 was
00:49:06.920 a
00:49:07.080 democrat
00:49:07.460 I
00:49:07.940 haven't
00:49:08.720 checked
00:49:08.960 back
00:49:09.240 on the
00:49:09.480 news
00:49:09.680 today
00:49:09.960 I
00:49:10.380 wonder
00:49:10.600 if
00:49:10.820 that
00:49:11.080 smearer
00:49:11.580 is
00:49:11.840 still
00:49:12.060 with
00:49:12.240 the
00:49:12.320 Des Moines
00:49:12.560 Register
00:49:12.960 it
00:49:13.480 would
00:49:13.600 be
00:49:13.800 shocking
00:49:14.400 if
00:49:14.800 he
00:49:14.940 was
00:49:15.200 but
00:49:15.440 not
00:49:16.240 surprising
00:49:18.800 going back
00:49:19.300 and looking
00:49:19.540 for old
00:49:19.860 tweets
00:49:20.140 or photos
00:49:20.580 to undermine
00:49:21.000 someone or
00:49:21.520 something
00:49:21.820 doing good
00:49:22.420 is normal
