BC Land Grab is a land grab by the government of British Columbia, Canada, against First Nations people. This is the latest in a long line of land grabs by the Canadian government, and it's no surprise that First Nations are the ones to be targeted.

00:00:00.980 Hi, thanks for joining me today on Stand on Guard.
00:00:04.080 This is your host, David Creighton, and I'm broadcasting to you live from Ottawa, our nation's capital.
00:00:10.780 When I come back, we're going to describe the latest outrage in Canada.
00:00:15.820 This is a land grab. This is looting. This is theft.
00:00:21.180 This is what Canada has become.
00:00:24.520 We'll be back in mere moments.
00:00:26.500 The Prime Minister lied, and his minions continue to lie.
00:00:38.340 We need a political change.
00:00:43.820 But we also need to resolve to resist.
00:00:46.720 Yes, please like the station and subscribe if you haven't.
00:00:58.740 Resubscribe if you need to.
00:01:00.520 Hope you enjoyed the interview yesterday with Neil Oliver.
00:01:03.880 I always enjoy talking to Neil.
00:01:06.380 And it's slowly climbing.
00:01:09.060 It didn't get the immediate numbers.
00:01:11.420 And I think that's crazy.
00:01:12.680 It was just a fascinating conversation with Neil.
00:01:16.420 He's always a favorite on this show.
00:01:19.240 And I know a lot of you appreciate it.
00:01:21.300 Just need to have a few more.
00:01:23.140 Appreciate it.
00:01:24.900 So the BC land grab.
00:01:27.460 And, you know, I don't know where to start with this.
00:01:33.140 Jamie Sarkinock at the National Post.
00:01:35.580 This is exactly what I was thinking.
00:01:39.240 So, you know, my talk seems a little bit similar to what Jamie's saying here.
00:01:47.740 This is exactly where we are in this country.
00:01:51.200 This is what reconciliation looks like.
00:01:54.400 It's the abrogation of property rights.
00:01:57.640 You have to remember, the Canadian Constitution, Charter of Rights, doesn't really guarantee property rights.
00:02:04.020 It's implied.
00:02:07.180 We don't have a right to life, liberty, and property in this country.
00:02:13.960 And that's intentional because I don't think Pierre Trudeau really believed in property rights, in private property.
00:02:23.040 And, you know, here we are again.
00:02:25.480 Rob Shaw, BC court ruling, puts aboriginal title above private property rights.
00:02:31.180 Now, I'm going to show a report from Global News on this because I think it's, puts it in perspective.
00:02:37.820 But the government of British Columbia is actually appealing this.
00:02:42.160 And people have been saying to me, well, why would the Premier David Eby, who is Mr. Reconciliation, he was in the same category as former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
00:02:57.020 Why would he be appealing this?
00:02:58.780 Doesn't he believe in aboriginal title above all else?
00:03:03.100 Isn't he a reconciliation person?
00:03:04.940 Well, they thought they could get away with this, that no judge would really rule.
00:03:12.600 In this instance here, this is a large chunk of Richmond.
00:03:16.760 This is a land grout.
00:03:18.600 This is theft.
00:03:19.680 This is looting.
00:03:22.200 And there's absolutely no way a country can survive if private property, or can't survive as a democracy, if private property is not sacrosanct.
00:03:32.160 So, we've got to move on from things that happened centuries ago.
00:03:38.100 I said years ago, we need the abolition of the reserve system in this country.
00:03:44.380 It's apartheid. 0.83
00:03:46.200 We need equality under the law.
00:03:49.180 All people, regardless of race or ethnicity, should be equal under the law.
00:03:55.720 We should not have any race-based fishing, hunting, or legal system.
00:04:02.520 We need to be equal under the law.
00:04:05.100 And I grew up on the west coast of British Columbia, where this is not in Richmond, where this is being felt, but on Vancouver Island.
00:04:14.880 I had great friends who were First Nations people.
00:04:20.080 I was very close to the vice president of the Native Council of Canada, Bill Wilson.
00:04:24.700 And I always said, if any Native person who really wanted to succeed got off the reserve and looked like any other Canadian citizen, and that's what I still say, and who's going to benefit from this land title? 0.99
00:04:45.400 If you think, why are people on reserves constantly suffering from malnutrition, alcohol abuse, some cases starvation, bad water?
00:04:56.400 Because the chiefs soak up all the money, and they've always done that.
00:05:00.680 That's always been the case.
00:05:02.380 And the average Native person on these reserves really never sees anything from the government largesse that pours out.
00:05:13.840 And in many cases, I think of Ipperwash in Ontario paid the Native man three times for that property and then gave it back in the end anyway. 0.90
00:05:26.220 So they had their cake and ate it too.
00:05:27.640 And this is what's going to happen throughout British Columbia if this is not struck down, and it needs to be.
00:05:35.860 This is a complete abrogation of property rights, basic freedoms in this country.
00:05:41.360 And it is just beyond reason.
00:05:46.440 Do you think anyone's going to want to move to British Columbia if their land can be taken away from some local First Nations man who says, hey, it's ours?
00:05:53.580 I remember when I was in university, my journalism professor saying, do you realize Vancouver is claimed, but 110% of Vancouver is claimed by First Nations because of overlapping claims.
00:06:11.640 So what, we just give it all away?
00:06:14.940 Because maybe some injustice occurred at the beginning?
00:06:20.160 We need to move on.
00:06:21.460 This is not reconciliation.
00:06:22.800 This is sell out.
00:06:25.760 Reconciliation means we all get together, and that's all it means.
00:06:28.780 We all get along, and we're all equal.
00:06:30.840 That's reconciliation.
00:06:32.160 That's not what Justin Trudeau means by reconciliation.
00:06:35.220 He means sell out.
00:06:36.400 He means give it away.
00:06:38.720 And he means if you work that land, you bought that land, you live on that land, too bad.
00:06:48.220 Aboriginal title trumps your private property rights. 1.00
00:06:52.540 And that's not a country that I want to live in.
00:06:57.360 Let's have a look at this report from Global.
00:07:02.520 While the celebration of an historic and precedent-setting court ruling was taking place here in Duncan, the impact.
00:07:09.580 You notice how it's always presented like they're just always solemn.
00:07:15.480 And this is somehow a religious thing.
00:07:18.960 And it's nothing to do with taking people's land away.
00:07:24.540 It's some solemn event.
00:07:26.420 It's making things right historically.
00:07:30.740 This is always how this is presented by the mainstream media.
00:07:33.560 It's being felt 90 kilometers away across the water.
00:07:36.600 The courts remain an option for First Nations when we are not heard and our rights are ignored.
00:07:44.960 What rights are ignored?
00:07:47.720 You have rights to everybody else's land?
00:07:50.700 You really believe that, do you?
00:07:52.340 No, I'm sorry.
00:07:53.140 That's not how it works.
00:07:55.500 And that's not how it should work.
00:07:56.920 Maybe it works that way in Canada.
00:07:59.960 But it better stop working that way.
00:08:02.200 We did not pursue this case with malice or ill will.
00:08:06.740 The B.C. Supreme Court finding the Cowichan tribes have the right to 7.5 square kilometers.
00:08:13.420 All right, there it is.
00:08:15.580 Ports are included.
00:08:17.700 You bet.
00:08:21.200 So where is it going to end?
00:08:23.980 That's just the beginning, my friends.
00:08:26.960 That's just the beginning.
00:08:29.300 There will be sections of mainland Vancouver, of metropolitan Vancouver.
00:08:36.740 That will be claimed.
00:08:38.700 And if this is any indication, how the legal system, how the judges are going to rule, how the courts are going to rule, they'll get whatever they want.
00:08:48.820 Because they have aboriginal title.
00:08:50.740 This is a dangerous precedent.
00:08:52.580 It has to be struck down.
00:08:53.940 Of their old grounds, now part of Richmond, determining land titles previously granted by governments, including private property, are, quote, defective and invalid.
00:09:05.740 We're not here to fight against anyone.
00:09:10.440 We're here to ensure that history is in its right place.
00:09:16.180 That history is corrected.
00:09:18.700 The B.C. government will be appealing this decision, and ultimately, it is expected to end up in the Supreme Court of Canada.
00:09:27.160 Eby, in a statement last week, says he is deeply concerned around the ramifications of this ruling on individual private property rights.
00:09:35.400 The ruling could have significant unintended consequences for fee-simple private property rights in B.C., and that must be reconsidered.
00:09:43.900 It will be amongst the arguments that we will be making.
00:09:45.960 Except these aren't unintended consequences.
00:09:49.300 These are intended consequences.
00:09:51.600 This is about who controls land in B.C., and this will spread across Canada.
00:09:56.100 So, it's intended.
00:09:58.600 And you people, this government of British Columbia, this socialist NDP government, understood this.
00:10:06.900 This is where you knew it was going.
00:10:09.760 But you wanted to pretend it was going to be, nobody was ever going to actually ratify or affirm these outrageous claims.
00:10:20.080 But they have.
00:10:22.480 So, what does that mean?
00:10:24.240 Businesses will leave Vancouver and British Columbia because their land could be stolen from them.
00:10:29.900 People will move out of B.C. and will not come to B.C. because their land, their private property could be stolen.
00:10:35.720 In our application for appeal.
00:10:38.160 On Monday, both the Cowichan and the provincial government expressed an interest to talk face-to-face.
00:10:43.860 But experts say the province's deals with other First Nations complicate the issue.
00:10:48.320 So, you look at the Haida Recognition Act, where they themselves voluntarily, outside of courts, overlaid aboriginal title on private land.
00:10:55.860 Those two things are fundamentally irreconcilable.
00:10:59.540 Conservative leader John Rustad says this ruling, even with an appeal, will already have a significant impact.
00:11:06.100 These title cases, particularly now with private land, has put an incredible chill on British Columbia, on the ability to invest.
00:11:13.140 With the legal cases continuing, the Cowichan tribes will now have to wait.
00:11:17.780 Drawing this out after they, in their words, have waited more than 150 years due to government lawlessness.
00:11:25.600 Richard Zussman, Global News, Duncan.
00:11:29.400 And Keith Baldry is here with more on this.
00:11:31.620 Keith, it's a tough position for the provincial government to be in.
00:11:34.920 What are the implications we're looking at here for the NDP?
00:11:37.180 Yeah, it was apparent very quickly upon release of this judgment on Friday in conversations and texts with cabinet ministers, senior government officials.
00:11:45.420 This appeal was a no-brainer.
00:11:47.120 The NDP could not risk being seen as not taking on or opposing a judgment that so blurs the lines between aboriginal title and private property rights.
00:11:55.800 So it was just a matter of time before the NDP was going to launch this appeal.
00:11:59.140 We expected it today, as early as today, and it's certainly what happened.
00:12:02.020 Attorney General Nikki Sharma says her legal team thinks there's a considerable number of grounds here to support an appeal.
00:12:08.640 And she also says the government is still willing to sit down and negotiate some sort of settlement.
00:12:12.220 Here's the Attorney General.
00:12:13.980 Our team is working through what we think are quite a few grounds of appeal, potential grounds of appeal.
00:12:19.420 It's not unlike many very complicated cases related to rights and title that make their way through many appeals and usually through to the highest courts of the land to help us all clarify legal issues that we need to have clarified by the courts.
00:12:37.420 In the meantime, we are open to sitting down with nations in this province to make sure that we can come to agreement in a more certain way through our reconciliation work.
00:12:49.420 So it's also not clear yet whether other parties will appeal this.
00:12:52.540 Of course, the B.C. government was just one of six parties in this land claims fight.
00:12:56.980 We also have the city of Richmond, the federal government, the Vancouver Port Authority, the Tawassan Indy Van, and the Musqueam Indy Van.
00:13:03.380 And we talked to Chief Wayne Sparrow of the Musqueam on Friday.
00:13:06.100 He was quite upset over this ruling.
00:13:07.680 So it remains to be seen where others will join B.C. in appealing this landmark decision.
00:13:11.760 All right. Thanks for that, Keith.
00:13:15.120 So, you know, private property is not something that's just a nice thing to have.
00:13:19.720 It's not just something that's a luxury.
00:13:23.580 It is absolutely integral to a free economy.
00:13:28.320 If you don't have private property, you live in a socialist country.
00:13:31.860 You live in a communist country.
00:13:33.820 This is Bolshevism. 0.67
00:13:36.080 And this has to be struck down.
00:13:39.040 And but this is a result of decades of reconciliation propaganda that you are guilty for things that happened centuries ago.
00:13:49.140 That I am guilty.
00:13:51.100 You are guilty.
00:13:53.740 Of bad negotiation.
00:13:56.660 Of abusing First Nations people. 0.99
00:13:59.980 Of being so wrong that we have to give them whatever they want today.
00:14:04.700 And as I say, this has nothing to do with race-cism.
00:14:10.740 Because I'm saying we don't want a race-based country. 1.00
00:14:14.700 We want equality under the law no matter what the color of your skin. 0.98
00:14:17.940 No matter what your ethnicity.
00:14:19.880 No matter where you came from.
00:14:22.020 That's the kind of country I want to live in.
00:14:23.740 Not where we judge people and give special status to anybody because of the color of their skin or their ethnicity.
00:14:30.900 That is completely wrong and destructive to our Canadian democracy.
00:14:39.540 Whatever we have left of that.
00:14:41.440 Justin Trudeau knew what he was doing.
00:14:43.720 David Eby was supporting this. 1.00
00:14:45.800 He knows he can't do anything right now except appeal because he'll look like an idiot. 1.00
00:14:51.980 He knows this could mean the life or death of the province. 0.99
00:14:57.760 This is, I think, the most important story of the week.
00:15:01.780 And before I turn to the other one, I want to say we're going to be watching this.
00:15:05.500 Because I have been dealing with this issue for the last 20 years.
00:15:09.860 I've been writing about this and saying we've got to get Canada off race-based systems.
00:15:21.240 The old Reform Party used to know this was wrong.
00:15:25.900 I'd like to know what the Conservative Party of Canada is going to say about this.
00:15:29.300 If anything, it will be interesting.
00:15:31.740 Now, let's revisit another incredible story.
00:15:36.740 And I want to correct something I said the other day.
00:15:41.180 Because Newfoundland is not exactly framing the don't go for a hike in the woods today legislation the way that New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are.
00:15:54.360 Newfoundland actually is.
00:15:55.780 Newfoundland and Labrador actually is looking at potential fires and saying,
00:16:00.600 don't, you cannot light fires.
00:16:02.280 It's Nova Scotia and New Brunswick that have gone completely off the rails.
00:16:06.260 And let's listen to this again.
00:16:07.840 And we'll listen to an update from Premier Susan Holt.
00:16:11.720 The province is in an unprecedented situation.
00:16:15.100 And it is getting worse.
00:16:17.640 So we're here on a Saturday afternoon to ask all New Brunswickers to get out of the woods and to stay out of the woods. 1.00
00:16:30.600 So as we said, we have taken decisive action to help address the situation.
00:16:35.520 Yesterday, we announced we would increase fines for violating the forest fire regulations.
00:16:40.100 And as I said today, we'll share the details.
00:16:42.760 So effective today, new fines will range from $50,000 to $150,000.
00:16:48.260 For a first offense, when a ticket is issued, fines will increase from $75,000 to $50,000.
00:16:57.120 Okay, so Hogan here, John Hogan, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, is focusing on lighting fires, not going for a hike in the woods.
00:17:09.920 But I think the fines are a little bit crazy, but at least he's not telling people, don't go for a hike in the woods.
00:17:17.300 And I was wrong about that the other day.
00:17:19.100 I wanted to correct that.
00:17:20.280 Imprisonment in default of payment will increase from three days to up to six months.
00:17:25.040 For a subsequent offense, fines will increase from $150 to $75,000.
00:17:31.500 Imprisonment for not paying will increase from six days to up to six months.
00:17:35.400 Where there's a summons issued, a first offense, fines will increase from $500 to $50,000 to $100,000 range.
00:17:45.400 And imprisonment will increase from up to three months to up to one year.
00:17:49.680 For a subsequent offense, fines increase from a minimum of $1,000 to $75,000 to $150,000.
00:17:57.400 And imprisonment in default will be increased from up to three months from up to one year.
00:18:02.380 However, it's very clear that these penalties for violating the regulations needed to be higher.
00:18:08.460 And everyone needs to take this very seriously.
00:18:10.860 And I think it's very clear that the size of the increases and the penalties, including imprisonment, that we mean business.
00:18:19.100 And we want people to listen and take this seriously.
00:18:22.620 Increasing fines is one tool we have in our toolbox to protect innocent Newfoundlanders and Labradorians, their families, and their communities.
00:18:30.300 Which is why we have taken that step.
00:18:33.100 I also understand and I've seen there's a lot of information on social media.
00:18:36.720 And some, of course, is true. 0.70
00:18:38.000 But as I warned earlier this week, some is untrue.
00:18:40.500 So I want to continue to encourage people to get their information from official and trusted sources.
00:18:45.620 Such as the government of Newfoundland and Labrador websites and social media, the Department of Fisheries, Forestry, and Agriculture, and Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services.
00:18:55.580 And I also want to encourage people to follow Dr. Fitzgerald's advice when it comes to air quality.
00:19:00.540 I hope folks become aware of that, look at it, and say, do I really want to have my family impacted by that through a $100,000 fine or six months in prison?
00:19:10.700 That's where this have landed.
00:19:12.840 My final comment, the Resource Enforcement Division of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Agriculture, Fisheries, Forestry, and Agriculture encourages those.
00:19:23.480 As we continue, if you know anything, if you are aware in any way of suspicious activity, please call our line at 729-2192, 729-2192.
00:19:40.060 On the fines, so between $50,000 and $150,000, how did we arrive at those numbers and why did you decide you had to go that high with those?
00:19:48.340 So, we looked at other fines, I guess, across the country.
00:19:54.740 We certainly looked at where ours were, and they were incredibly low.
00:19:58.120 And that's not surprising given the fact that, you know, a wildfire season like this certainly wasn't contemplated when that legislation was drafted.
00:20:06.440 I mean, times changed, and here we are now.
00:20:09.100 I think it was definitely appropriate to increase the fines by a serious, significant amount.
00:20:13.880 Not only to send a message that it means, that we mean business, but to punish individuals in the event that they do break the regulation.
00:20:20.880 So, you know, those laws and those penalties always have several factors into why we arrive where they are.
00:20:29.880 And it's for...
00:20:30.880 Before we get to Premier Susan Holt from New Brunswick, which is absolutely crazy,
00:20:41.340 I encourage you, please share this broadcast with your friends and family.
00:20:45.760 YouTube has its thumb on this broadcast like they love to do at the beginning of the week.
00:20:50.680 Please share it with your friends and family, because I tell you, YouTube won't do it for me.
00:20:57.420 But here's...
00:20:58.620 This is an incredible...
00:21:01.040 I haven't got the question in here from one of the reporters who asks,
00:21:04.380 What do you say to people in New Brunswick who are furious with you because you're saying they can't even go for a hike in the woods?
00:21:12.460 Because that's somehow creating dangerous situations.
00:21:16.600 And this reveals, I think, the mentality of these people.
00:21:22.280 And I'll ask you before we play, what does it remind you of?
00:21:27.160 How does this Premier talk in a way that you've just recently heard in the last couple of...
00:21:35.720 I mean, the last three or four years?
00:21:38.020 It reminded me of something.
00:21:39.900 We'll get into that in a minute.
00:21:40.700 Going for a walk in the woods is going to cause a fire. 0.86
00:21:43.320 I can understand why people think that that's ridiculous.
00:21:47.860 But the reality is it's not that you might cause a fire.
00:21:51.100 It's that if you're out there walking in the woods and you break your leg, we're not going to come and get you.
00:21:56.020 Because we have emergency responders that are out focused on a fire that is threatening the lives of New Brunswickers. 0.94
00:22:02.980 And if you take your boat out fishing in a pond in Crown Land and you capsize,
00:22:06.900 we're not going to be able to come and help you out because our first responders are focused on an immediate and serious threat to our province.
00:22:14.180 And so it's the possibility of diverting emergency resources away from where they are really needed.
00:22:20.980 So what does that remind you of?
00:22:27.140 COVID.
00:22:29.240 Yes, during COVID, you didn't get your vaccine, which we all said was safe and effective.
00:22:35.360 You're out of luck if you need medical help because it's your own fault.
00:22:39.760 Here we go.
00:22:40.660 So if you're walking in the woods, it's your own fault if something happens to you.
00:22:47.080 Well, I'll tell you what.
00:22:48.220 I don't know how many times I've walked in the woods in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario.
00:22:54.840 Yes, even the Maritimes.
00:22:56.880 And I've never broken a leg.
00:22:58.620 I would probably have greater likelihood of breaking a leg if I walked through the market area in downtown Ottawa because it's so crazy now with people running around on drugs, homeless people,
00:23:14.180 people who have absolutely nothing to do except start fights, raise hell. 0.69
00:23:21.800 And that's the mark.
00:23:22.880 So I think I'd have probably a greater likelihood of getting a broken leg downtown Ottawa than I would going for a hike and capsizing a boat.
00:23:34.060 Well, let's put it this way.
00:23:35.860 If you capsize a boat in an isolated area and you're a long ways out, unless you're an excellent swimmer, you're probably going to be in serious trouble because the rescue people won't be there in time.
00:23:49.480 So these are all moot points.
00:23:51.640 But this is exactly where these people are going.
00:23:56.380 I've got more great stuff for you here in a minute, but I wanted to show you our merchandise.
00:24:06.020 I'll be right back.
00:24:21.640 I'll be right back.
00:24:40.380 Thank you.
00:25:10.380 Yes, and you can get that merchandise, go to the store.
00:25:18.440 Thank you for everybody who's been supporting that merchandise lately.
00:25:21.780 It helps in so many ways.
00:25:24.340 It really does.
00:25:25.520 Before I forget, Jason Levine, a good friend of mine who has a podcast in Alberta, was out here, my goodness, I guess it was a couple of months back now.
00:25:35.660 And he interviewed me in Ottawa about current events.
00:25:40.140 We talked about the potential for Alberta separatism and the potential for Alberta independence.
00:25:48.420 And that interview is airing tonight on Jason's show.
00:25:52.480 I'll probably put the information in the description.
00:25:56.380 And I haven't seen the edited version of this clip.
00:26:00.600 But rest assured, if you get the wrong idea from what Jason put out on X today, I did not take a position on Alberta separation.
00:26:10.100 I don't live in Alberta.
00:26:12.600 I have said it's up to the people who live in Alberta to decide their future.
00:26:17.700 And I also have said the debate around Alberta independence is probably good for Canada because this country is going to hell in a handbasket.
00:26:26.700 And anything that shakes up this country and disturbs the absolute indifference so many Canadians have to the catastrophe that's waiting for this country if we keep going the way of Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney.
00:26:46.120 I think that's good to have that debate.
00:26:49.520 But as I've pointed out several times, I'm a veteran of Canadian Armed Forces.
00:26:53.520 It's hard for me to support any independence movement.
00:26:58.640 I will certainly look at it objectively.
00:27:00.600 But it's not my position.
00:27:02.800 It's not my place to be an advocate on either side of this.
00:27:06.760 I just want to see both sides have the same access to media attention and get the same fairness and quality of reporting.
00:27:15.820 And I think I've done that.
00:27:18.060 You know, we've had Jeffrey Rath of the Alberta Prosperity Project on this show several times to talk about why separation is so viable, why it's so popular.
00:27:29.480 And the last thing I'm ever going to do is suggest, oh, nobody's really behind.
00:27:34.020 No, these are all fringe people who support this.
00:27:36.860 No, these are normal Albertans who are sick and tired of the way Canada is being run.
00:27:41.380 And they want a real alternative, which they don't see in federalism as it's currently constituted with what many people would describe as a uniparty.
00:27:51.800 So that's my position on this.
00:27:54.560 And I want to make that quite clear.
00:27:57.280 I love this.
00:27:59.640 Somebody sent this post to me replying to something I said, you know what's next?
00:28:06.500 I mean, and this is incredible.
00:28:07.720 I'm sorry, it's a little microscopic here.
00:28:11.160 But insurance premiums, generating credit scores with algorithms.
00:28:15.700 And what's going to be dependent on these credit scores?
00:28:20.200 This is what's called social credit in China.
00:28:23.540 Insurance premiums, access to luxury hotels, travel abroad, school admissions and scholarships, access to planes and high speed trains, access to social services, loan rates and amounts.
00:28:36.980 You're bad social credit risk.
00:28:40.000 Interest rates go up for you.
00:28:42.260 Access to Internet services.
00:28:43.580 We don't like what you're doing with the Internet.
00:28:47.380 We don't like the sites you're visiting.
00:28:48.760 We don't like what you're broadcasting.
00:28:50.180 So you're not going to have Internet access.
00:28:52.260 This is absolutely possible.
00:28:56.040 Eligibility for government jobs.
00:28:57.480 Well, that's not something I would ever want anymore.
00:29:00.660 But we're actually in a situation now where this is on the horizon and it's frightening.
00:29:10.120 It's absolutely frightening.
00:29:12.960 And I wanted to mention that there's a I'm paying particular attention to the Alaska summit between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, because I think this could be a game changer for the war in Ukraine.
00:29:26.740 I think this could be the end of the war.
00:29:28.180 And I think this will end at least with the acknowledgement that Ukraine cannot be a member of NATO, should never have asked, and NATO should never have promised it could be.
00:29:39.180 So I think that's going to be history from now on.
00:29:42.940 And there'll be other things that a lot of Russia folks won't like.
00:29:47.560 But it's time to acknowledge the war is over.
00:29:50.780 Ukraine has lost the war.
00:29:51.760 And I think they'll be lucky to get what they can out of this, because they're down to virtually nobody in the population who's capable of fighting.
00:30:01.820 They've got 16-year-olds fighting now, 65-year-olds.
00:30:05.540 The slaughter has to stop.
00:30:06.840 It's like the First World War.
00:30:08.360 It is horrendous.
00:30:10.020 And, of course, as I've said many times, this did not begin two or three years ago.
00:30:17.560 This began in 2014 with a coup d'etat that was engineered by the CIA so that a pro-Russian regime was replaced by an anti-Russian regime and a pro-NATO regime.
00:30:29.820 And, as I've said, I don't know how many times, as the Soviet Union was imploding, NATO promised Mikhail Gorbachev that there would be no expansion of NATO, not one inch eastward.
00:30:45.480 NATO broke that promise almost immediately.
00:30:49.220 Here's some insanity I showed yesterday when I was talking to Neil Oliver, if you missed it.
00:30:54.960 Mike Huckabee, you know Mike Huckabee.
00:30:56.400 He was a Republican presidential candidate.
00:31:00.060 Yeah, he was a candidate.
00:31:04.020 He was not the nominee.
00:31:05.360 He didn't have the support.
00:31:06.260 This is a former governor of Arkansas, pastor, evangelical Christian.
00:31:14.620 And he had, I can't believe how incredibly deluded Mike Huckabee has become.
00:31:22.100 Because he's justifying what's been happening in Gaza with the bombing of Dresden in February, I think it was, 1945.
00:31:33.460 This was a city full of people on the run, of people trying to escape the bombing from the larger cities like Berlin and Hamburg and Frankfurt and Nuremberg.
00:31:49.340 So they went to Dresden thinking they could get away from the bombing, largely women and children as well.
00:31:57.560 And the Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Corps or Army Air Force at that time bombed the city literally into a shell.
00:32:11.200 Well, perhaps 100,000 people died in the firestorms, nothing left of a city that went back to the Middle Ages.
00:32:23.680 And it had absolutely no military value.
00:32:26.220 There was nothing there that was posing any kind of military threat.
00:32:30.040 It was simply to punish ordinary people.
00:32:34.700 And it was so vindictive.
00:32:36.220 And I would say it was a war crime, yes. 0.99
00:32:39.600 So why is Mike Huckabee saying Dresden was a great thing and so was what happens in Israel with the way Israel has behaved? 0.74
00:32:49.200 The Israeli Defense Force has behaved in Gaza.
00:32:51.440 That's fine, too, because Dresden was good. 0.95
00:32:54.620 There's something wrong with that vision.
00:32:58.360 There's something wrong with the way Mike Huckabee is now viewing the world.
00:33:02.120 And it worries me because I used to have a lot of time for Mike Huckabee.
00:33:04.480 So I wanted to mention that tail end of this broadcast here.
00:33:07.720 We'll be back again tomorrow with more information on wildfires.
00:33:13.920 Why aren't provinces investing more money in firefighting equipment and in water bombers?
00:33:20.280 Why aren't they investigating arson?
00:33:22.240 Why are they just saying, don't go into the woods today?
00:33:28.120 What's going on?
00:33:30.120 We're going to be examining that with greater depth tomorrow.
00:33:34.660 Because it indicates a lot about where this country is going and how this country increasingly thinks.
00:33:43.680 And so I think that's going to be well worth watching.
00:33:47.700 So, thank you for watching today, folks.
00:33:53.880 It's always a pleasure to come to you.
00:33:55.760 You've been watching Stand on Guard with David Creighton, broadcasting to you live, as I always do, with rare exceptions, from our nation's capitals in Ottawa.
00:34:04.220 And I'll be back again tomorrow, same time.
00:34:08.160 Catch me tonight on the Levine show.
00:34:13.780 And we'll have information in the description about that.
00:34:17.300 Thanks for watching.
00:34:18.200 We'll see you all tomorrow.
00:34:19.600 We'll see you all tomorrow.
