Stand on Guard with David Krayden - SOG1： Trump arrest is a Stalinist show trial： no evidence, no crime +More： Stand on Guard Ep 1

00:00:01.000 Welcome to the first episode of Stand on Guard with David Creighton.

00:00:06.080 We've changed the name, it's a new beginning, and we hope you enjoy this independent production.

00:00:12.080 We're going to be talking about a few things, but stay tuned.

00:00:20.740 Maybe they're beginning to realize that Justin Trudeau is responsible for all this trouble.

00:00:30.000 Yeah, welcome back.

00:00:34.840 We've got a great show for you today, including an interview at the end here with Heva Chibiuk, the lead Freedom Convoy lawyer.

00:00:42.600 And of course, that's been a story all week here again.

00:00:44.640 Although you wouldn't know it to read the mainstream media, there is a Judge Mosley is right now looking at the constitutionality, legality of invoking the Emergencies Act last February 14th,

00:00:58.180 which is something Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did in response to the Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa.

00:01:03.560 Now, a lot of us thought that was completely unnecessary, completely unjustified, and a complete overreach of government power.

00:01:09.360 And that's what Judge Mosley is looking at this week.

00:01:11.780 He's had three days of testimony from those affected by the Freedom Convoy and by the invocation of the Emergencies Act.

00:01:19.600 And it's going to be interesting to see how he rules on this.

00:01:23.700 But the story of the week, I think, whether you're in Canada or the United States, has got to be the arrest, the formal arrest of former President Donald Trump,

00:01:34.660 who had to go all the way from Mar-a-Lago, Florida, to New York City to surrender himself to authorities, where he was arraigned.

00:01:44.040 And he was formally charged 34 counts of what?

00:01:48.580 34 counts of what?

00:01:49.880 Apparently it's, and they won't even reveal what the real felony is.

00:01:54.640 This is all based on a misdemeanor of an alleged hush fund money.

00:02:05.440 And the whole thing is so ridiculous, as if this doesn't happen every day, as if former presidents hadn't paid off people because they didn't want to be embarrassed by their testimony.

00:02:16.800 But this really is a turning point, I think, in American politics, because it's not just optically very bad.

00:02:25.540 It is catastrophic in terms of the effect on the justice system.

00:02:31.260 The justice system has become completely politicized in the United States.

00:02:36.080 And this is beyond dispute, beyond doubt, because I haven't heard yet a single credible legal authority proclaim that there was any justification in arresting and charging former President Donald Trump with these 34 counts of one count.

00:02:53.540 And that's all it really amounts to.

00:02:54.860 It's one thing, which happened seven years ago.

00:02:59.780 And so why are they going after Donald Trump?

00:03:02.880 Because they're afraid he's going to win the nomination of the Republican Party and run for president again in 2024.

00:03:11.660 And this is why this whole thing is going on.

00:03:14.520 And, of course, they're going to meet again, reconvene for the beginning of the trial, or at least reconvene to see what comes next in December.

00:03:26.300 And this, of course, is outrageous.

00:03:28.580 Just about the time that the Republican Party will be deciding who their next nominee for president is.

00:03:36.240 So it clearly has nothing to do with justice as having to do with politics.

00:03:42.020 And it's quite chilling because this is the sort of thing that was routinely done in totalitarian countries where former political foes were punished by the judicial system.

00:03:55.740 And extremists in extremists in those countries, they're sometimes executed or spent the rest of their life in a concentration camp or a gulag.

00:04:04.200 But in this country, well, actually, there have been reports that Trump could, if convicted, Trump could spend over 100 years in jail for, you know, be sentenced to 100 years in jail. 0.76

00:04:15.960 This is absolutely ludicrous.

00:04:16.980 But we are dealing with this kind of mentality, and it's really, really got to stop. 0.99

00:04:23.740 So I want to move on to some idiocy in this country before we get to the interview. 1.00

00:04:32.020 But the idiocy in this country is basically this. 0.99

00:04:36.660 So we have the federal government, and in this case, the B.C. provincial government and the city of Vancouver municipal government all funding something called a drag camp. 0.99

00:04:46.440 And this is the sort of thing you would never would have imagined possible in another age, like maybe 10 years ago.

00:04:54.480 But we have a drag camp from kids as young as seven, seven to 11, and then a teen drag camp for those, I believe, 13 to 17.

00:05:05.440 And it's so outrageous that this sort of event even exists in the first place, that we would have children exposed to this sort of nonsense.

00:05:18.480 And as most people would say, absolute filth.

00:05:22.160 But this is being not just allowed and tolerated, it's being encouraged by the federal government and other levels of government.

00:05:28.780 And just as these drag queen story hours are being encouraged and foisted upon, forced upon children, kids. 0.63

00:05:38.080 And it's the sort of thing we would never have imagined.

00:05:40.940 Why would we want to put together children and drag queens in the same room? 1.00

00:05:47.060 I mean, can we not find people of a great reputation, heroic Canadians, and in the case of the U.S., heroic Americans,

00:05:56.760 who were with the fire force, local firefighters, police force, in the military.

00:06:02.520 Maybe they earned a medal of valor while serving overseas, or by rescuing lives here in Canada or the United States.

00:06:10.040 Why are these people not being presented to kids and to tell their stories and to read stories to them?

00:06:16.140 Why are we allowing kids to share the same room with drag queens? 1.00

00:06:20.680 Because it's absolutely crazy, unless there is something behind all of this.

00:06:27.480 And I don't remember going on a field trip to a strip club when I was in elementary school.

00:06:32.840 And that would have been absolutely outrageous.

00:06:36.520 And why aren't they doing this as well today, you might ask, because it's just as outrageous.

00:06:42.380 But of course, it probably hasn't occurred to them yet. 0.82

00:06:44.200 But the people who are coming up with this nonsense are devoted to an ideology, a transgender ideology. 1.00

00:06:51.560 And they deny that there's two biological sexes.

00:06:55.120 And they can deny that all they want, but they cannot deny the facts.

00:06:58.200 They cannot deny reality.

00:06:59.720 They cannot deny the scientific basis of my just saying that.

00:07:03.740 And if people want to go down this transgender route, you know, that is their decision as adults.

00:07:10.720 It's not their decision as adults to impose that on children above the heads of their parents.

00:07:17.020 And of course, the CBC is well on board with this with its production of Drag Kids, which is about kids being introduced to drag queens.

00:07:25.160 Where on earth would this even be considered a viable programming idea, let alone something that is on the air?

00:07:35.680 But it is.

00:07:36.640 This is how sick Canada has become. 0.57

00:07:38.840 It's become a country devoted to this ideology.

00:07:41.980 I had a wonderful conversation this week with Mr. Maxime Bernier, an old friend of mine.

00:07:48.140 He is a former foreign affairs minister, a former industry minister under the government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

00:07:54.640 He's currently the leader of the People's Party in Canada.

00:07:57.300 And you know what?

00:07:58.100 His party is the only one that has voiced any opposition to these drag camps and these drag queen story hours. 0.85

00:08:07.460 And to the federal government's subsidization of these projects, why are there nobody else?

00:08:16.680 Why is there nobody else in the House of Commons, no other MP, no other political party leader willing to stand up and say this is just dead wrong?

00:08:22.940 This is just absolutely disgusting.

00:08:25.800 We have to stop this.

00:08:26.780 And we certainly should be not using taxpayer money to fund it.

00:08:30.160 But I can't see another politician in the House of Commons willing to stand up and say that.

00:08:34.960 And no other political party has taken a stand against this.

00:08:37.600 This is completely outrageous.

00:08:38.800 And this is the sort of thing we have to ask ourselves, what is going on in the minds of these people if, in fact, their minds are functioning?

00:08:48.540 But complete outrage.

00:08:51.840 And the other outrage of the week is that there was very little media attention to the court, a very important court case going on in Ottawa this week.

00:09:02.780 And that was a judge assessing the validity, legality, constitutionality of Justin Trudeau invoking the war, I just said war mentioned, the Emergencies Act last February, February 14th, 2022.

00:09:18.060 He invoked the Emergencies Act to shut down, to clamp down, to snuff out the Freedom Convoy protests that were going on.

00:09:26.540 Largely at that point, only in Ottawa.

00:09:28.980 And they were completely, completely peaceful.

00:09:32.100 And we said at the time, this was just plain political overreach.

00:09:36.340 It was the federal government silencing opponents it didn't like.

00:09:41.040 And, of course, I just spoke to Eva Chippiot, who is the lead Freedom Convoy lawyer.

00:09:47.380 She always tells me she's just one of the people representing.

00:09:50.940 But she's been so tremendous in terms of her comments she's made, the feedback she's given me, that I really think she has been a leading force in articulating exactly why the invocation of the Emergencies Act was a horrible mistake.

00:10:08.380 It has put Canada on a road of authoritarian rule.

00:10:11.920 And if Judge Mosley, who's looking at it this week, decides that there was nothing wrong with this, I fear that we are going to be giving any government extra power to shut down any protest it doesn't agree with.

00:10:27.420 Because ultimately, this isn't just about the Freedom Convoy protests.

00:10:30.820 It's about governments using the law to silence political protests, peaceful political protests.

00:10:37.180 If it doesn't like what those people are saying, it can silence them.

00:10:39.640 And that's contrary to good government and contrary to all democratic values.

00:10:44.860 And this is something that has got to stop.

00:10:47.340 And if it doesn't stop, we are in grave trouble as a nation.

00:10:51.260 So I want that to be really clearly understood.

00:10:56.120 And I hope you'll enjoy the interview that's coming up after this with Eva Chippiot.

00:11:03.800 Yes, we're back again with my guest, Eva Chippiot, one of the lawyers for the Freedom Convoy.

00:11:11.980 And, of course, that the constitutionality of the invocation of the Emergencies Act has been under scrutiny and challenged all week in Ottawa court.

00:11:21.260 So I just want to ask you, Eva, are you optimistic that this judge is going to rule in the favor of not invoking the Emergencies Act?

00:11:34.380 So as an individual, I tend to try to be optimistic.

00:11:37.540 So I'm going to remain optimistic in this case as well.

00:11:40.300 And I have to say, as a lawyer, I'm going to remain optimism as well, because the evidence just isn't there for the federal government to justify invoking the Emergencies Act.

00:11:51.840 And I really hope that justice, mostly in this case, sees it as well.

00:11:57.120 There was no evidence to show that there was a threat to national security, except for what could have been, maybe was, or in imaginary land.

00:12:08.320 But there wasn't actually any physical, concrete evidence, affidavits, showing and swearing that there was an issue.

00:12:17.380 And in fact, as we know from the Public Order Emergencies Inquiry, the evidence showed the opposite.

00:12:22.600 There was a lack of serious violence.

00:12:25.900 And CSIS, the day before the Emergencies Act was invoked, told the federal government, do not invoke the Emergencies Act.

00:12:33.000 This is about government overreach, and the people here don't believe the system, believe the system is broken.

00:12:40.740 And if you invoke such a power like the Emergencies Act, it will cause more extreme views, and it will cause people to be more disillusioned with the government.

00:12:50.540 So that's the evidence.

00:12:52.120 The evidence, if CSIS thought there was a serious national security issue, they wouldn't be saying, don't invoke it the day before.

00:13:00.000 Like, that's evidence.

00:13:02.660 Yes.

00:13:03.240 And the judge in this case, Judge Mosley, when I first heard this, I thought somebody was pulling my leg.

00:13:09.600 But apparently he was a trucker before he became a lawyer and then a judge.

00:13:15.080 Very unusual in my understanding.

00:13:18.100 But you think that's going to help him to sort this out in a way that's more positive than the Justice Rulo was able to do?

00:13:26.460 I don't know.

00:13:28.520 And actually, I saw a clip of Justice Rulo a long time ago saying he wanted to be a trucker.

00:13:33.200 So it's very interesting that these two judges had either wanted to be or were truckers.

00:13:39.580 But, you know, whether or not they are, it's really, again, about the evidence and about the case.

00:13:44.680 And the case just isn't there.

00:13:46.200 And one thing I'd like to note about what has happened at the start of Monday's hearing is the government of Canada had the gall to suggest to the court that this action should be struck, that the court shouldn't even listen to the arguments of civil rights of Canadians being just dismissed at the whim of the government because it's too late.

00:14:11.820 It's over now.

00:14:12.780 No, that's not how it works, federal government of Canada.

00:14:16.780 You work for Canadians and we need, Canadians need their day in court. 1.00

00:14:21.240 And like there's been a lot of these mootness arguments brought by the federal government.

00:14:26.520 And I'm getting a little bit tired of it because it's Canadians that are taxpayers that are paying for these federal government lawyers.

00:14:35.960 And they're meant to be there to hear if Canadians are bringing cases against the federal government.

00:14:42.580 Guess what?

00:14:42.880 You're going to have to start listening to them.

00:14:44.860 That's what the court system is for. 1.00

00:14:46.780 It's not about propping up the government in power.

00:14:49.740 It's about having a day in court and letting a judge hear the evidence.

00:14:54.300 Yeah, the judge seemed to be going against the government when it was trying to justify the freezing of bank accounts.

00:15:05.220 Do you think that this remains one of the most terrifying aspects of the Emergency Act, that the government can put its hand on all the money you own, except that which you may have under your mattress at home, but can just literally seize your assets?

00:15:27.320 Because you support a project or politician or a priority that they don't necessarily agree with.

00:15:37.020 Yeah, well, it should be terrifying for the judge and Canadians and investors and potential people that want to come to Canada.

00:15:45.880 That should be incredibly terrifying.

00:15:47.400 What the federal government did was unconscionable is to take away people's ability to sustain themselves with purchasing food or shelter.

00:15:58.600 Like you're suggesting or you're assuming that they were at home to grab the money under their mattress.

00:16:05.120 What if they can't get home because all of a sudden they don't have access to any finances?

00:16:11.240 So the overreach that the government did was incredibly chilling and the government needs to own up to what it did because it is certainly very concerning, not only to Canadians, but to people outside of Canada, for sure.

00:16:27.540 I'm sure you worry about the politicization of the courts in this country, the justice system.

00:16:37.360 I don't necessarily, if you care to comment on what's happening to former President Donald Trump right now in the United States, I would love that.

00:16:45.540 I understand if you wouldn't.

00:16:46.540 However, are you concerned that, like what's happening in the United States, the justice system has become or could become so politicized that we end up going after political opponents?

00:16:58.700 And this clearly is what Trudeau has done.

00:17:02.220 But are we coming to a point where he could routinely use the justice system to attack political opponents?

00:17:07.700 Well, I'm going to turn it a little bit differently in that I've been quite disappointed with the amount of opposition that we've had in this country.

00:17:19.400 Because if the court system is turning political, it's because I believe that our elected officials aren't stepping up the way they should be stepping up.

00:17:29.060 I kind of agree.

00:17:30.480 None of these cases should be heard and there shouldn't be political opponents like this.

00:17:35.260 But if our elected officials were, you know, a little bit pushing back more, but what I feel is they want to feel, they want to stay in their safe zone.

00:17:46.440 They want to go where the polling is going and they don't want to go outside of the box.

00:17:50.720 And that is where over this last year, I feel there's been quite a disconnect that regular Canadians are doing the job that politicians should be doing.

00:17:59.320 And that's not right.

00:18:00.760 And in effect, courts are becoming politicized.

00:18:04.260 So that's the effect of it, because we don't have as much in the United States is a bit different.

00:18:10.060 They are a bit always have been more adversarial in Canada.

00:18:13.140 We're just not there yet.

00:18:15.520 And politicians, I think, on all stripes, instead of having, you know, serious and strong debates, we're having don't be that mean to another MP.

00:18:27.460 That is just silly talk.

00:18:29.680 And that needs to be exposed and addressed.

00:18:32.720 We need serious debates in the House of Commons.

00:18:35.800 We need serious dialogue with our elected officials together with constituents.

00:18:40.480 So we're not running to the court about these political issues.

00:18:44.160 If the judge does happen to rule against the government invoking the Emergencies Act, is this going to have, A, any immediate benefits for those who are punished under the Emergencies Act?

00:18:58.120 And, B, will it have long-term benefits in terms of the government being less than willing to invoke this act in the future?

00:19:05.660 So, in response to your first question, it likely will not have any effect on anybody affected by the Emergencies Act, except for those few people that filed a lawsuit.

00:19:19.160 And those issues would be different.

00:19:22.560 And that's not what I don't believe.

00:19:23.940 That's why the case went to court.

00:19:26.960 The reason was to have the court decide whether or not the government enacted what it did was legal or not, whether or not it was justified or not.

00:19:36.620 And that's what the court needs to understand and decide on.

00:19:40.080 Where I do, where I am a little pessimistic is, yes, if the judge decides, which I believe is correct, that the Emergencies Act was not justified, then what?

00:19:49.940 That's the big question I think any justice, and Justice Mosley in particular, is going to have to wrap his head around.

00:19:58.380 Okay, there was no evidence to invoke the Emergencies Act.

00:20:01.820 The Prime Minister made a big mistake here.

00:20:05.360 What am I supposed to do with that?

00:20:07.520 And I do understand that's a big task he has.

00:20:10.580 But for Canada, for the benefit of Canada, for moving forward and healing, we need to close that gap at some point.

00:20:20.140 Whether Trudeau is removed via confidence vote, if that's what the justice decides that it wasn't justified, or whether he's a little bit kinder in his words, and then Trudeau is voted out via an election, fine.

00:20:37.680 But we need to address that there were wrongs that occurred.

00:20:43.200 And I really, I empathize with Justice Mosley, because this is a big task he has ahead of him.

00:20:49.740 And for that reason, I am a little bit pessimistic.

00:20:53.240 What does he do in this situation?

00:20:54.960 I don't know exactly how he's going to manage that.

00:20:58.380 So in the event that he does rule in the government's favor, does this not bode well for future protests of any sort against any government that might just disagree with what those people are saying?

00:21:11.560 Excuse me.

00:21:12.180 Yeah, 100%.

00:21:13.680 That will be quite a chilling effect.

00:21:15.740 And I anticipate that the applicants would then look to take it to the Court of Appeal and look to overturn that decision.

00:21:23.580 But it certainly would have a chilling effect on protests.

00:21:27.740 And how far are we going to go?

00:21:29.300 Like, this is really, in my view, very serious what the government did.

00:21:33.520 And I just can't see how it would be justified, how it is being just suggested to be justified by the government.

00:21:42.280 Are you getting any feedback during this week from your friends in the Freedom Convoy movement?

00:21:49.620 Are they expressing any measure of hope or optimism?

00:21:54.820 Oh, yeah.

00:21:55.800 Well, I think like everyone, everyone's individual.

00:21:58.560 And, you know, some have faith and hope for a good outcome.

00:22:02.700 And some don't.

00:22:03.440 The one thing, though, that I am getting a lot of feedback is thank you for informing me.

00:22:07.680 It seems that not too many people are talking about this.

00:22:11.080 And, you know, when the Freedom Convoy was in Ottawa, it was on the daily news, nightly news about how terrible these people are.

00:22:18.980 So where are the news outlets right now reporting on the evidence in court, reporting on this huge issue that for three weeks they dedicated most of their time to?

00:22:30.760 Nobody's talking about it right now.

00:22:32.760 And that's disconcerting to me, that it's kind of being brushed aside by the mainstream media.

00:22:40.360 Yeah, I have to agree.

00:22:43.000 Looking at the media response this week, it's been very disappointing that there has been virtually nobody talking about it.

00:22:49.940 It was a couple of articles announcing it was going to happen, but very few people on scene this week doing daily reports.

00:22:56.720 And very, very few people yesterday announcing it was even over.

00:23:01.260 So I think that's a very bad thing for our democracy, and I think it's a very, very bad thing for our judicial system, because this is something that's going to affect everybody.

00:23:13.940 And if people think this is just about the Freedom Convoy, I think that's a terrible mistake, because this is about our freedom in this country to protest policies we disagree with in a peaceful way.

00:23:26.060 And to not be smeared as racist, misogynist, homophobes, and all the rest just for voicing an opinion has nothing to do with those other things.

00:23:36.420 I'm sure you'd agree.

00:23:37.520 Completely agree.

00:23:38.600 Yeah.

00:23:38.920 This is about the rights and freedoms in a supposedly sophisticated and inclusive Canada.

00:23:47.540 Joining me today was Ms. Eva Cipiuk of the Freedom Convoy Lawyer, and I want to thank you so much for being with us today, Eva.

00:23:59.640 It's been, as usual, an edifying conversation, as it always is, and I hope we can see justice done on this.

00:24:08.060 I agree.

00:24:08.660 Thanks for having me, and let's keep hoping.

00:24:11.220 Just wanted to introduce my guest today, a longtime friend and political associate from the Hill in the old days of the Harper government, Mr. Maxime Bernier, the Honorable Maxime Bernier, who was a former industry and foreign affairs minister in the government of Stephen Harper, and is now the leader of the People's Party of Canada.

00:24:35.640 And as we were just discussing, and I'll get into the guts of our conversation shortly, but I just wanted to let our guests know that you are continuing to work to build the People's Party of Canada right now.

00:24:49.460 Yes, absolutely.

00:24:50.600 As you know, I'm the leader of the People's Party of Canada.

00:24:53.180 We started that party five years ago with 0%.

00:24:57.760 Our first election in 2019, 1.6% of the vote, and the last election in 2021, 5% of the vote.

00:25:07.640 And I'm traveling across the country, meeting our people, and actually, we are in the process right now to find some candidates.

00:25:16.960 We have up to now 100 candidates approved and ready to fight if there's an election, and our goal is to have another maybe 150 more candidates before the end of this year.

00:25:32.840 So like that, when the election will come, we will be ready and we'll have a candidate in every riding, and every Canadian will be able to vote in line with their values.

00:25:42.540 So yes, we are building the party, and that's very encouraging.

00:25:46.960 Will you be running again in your old seat in Quebec?

00:25:50.700 No, I won't.

00:25:51.840 No, I won't.

00:25:53.320 For the general election, I'm looking right now at two ridings, one in Northern Ontario, in Timmons, Ontario, the other one in Southern Alberta.

00:26:05.980 Sorry, Southern Manitoba, Portage-Lisgore.

00:26:10.280 And actually, I may run before the general election, because we will have a by-election in five ridings across the country, because we didn't have a general election.

00:26:25.280 And actually, the riding of Portage-Lisgore will be in a by-election before the end of October, and I may run there, and we'll see.

00:26:38.160 I still have to meet some people over there, and that would be, for me, an opportunity maybe to be back in Parliament before the general election.

00:26:47.220 So I'm looking at that, and I'll be able to decide early July.

00:26:53.580 Well, we certainly need you back in the House, but I think you're doing more work for Canadians right now than, say, Jagmeet Singh of the NDP is coordinating Justin Trudeau's government.

00:27:08.820 So I do think you're doing a lot of work, and as much as we want you back in the House, because I believe you keep the Conservative Party of Canada more honest than it would be.

00:27:21.120 I think you keep them from drifting too far to the left, which they have a tendency to do, even with its current leader, who I think is an improvement over the last.

00:27:31.060 But I don't trust the Conservative Party of Canada any more than you do, to stay honest.

00:27:36.740 So I look forward to seeing you back in the House in that capacity.

00:27:42.400 But talking about the work you're doing, I've been reading the material you've submitted to Twitter on what is going on in this country with drag queen story times.

00:27:57.820 But I was especially outraged, as I saw you were, with this drag summer camp that's being offered in British Columbia. 1.00

00:28:03.640 What on earth is this about?

00:28:05.300 So, yeah, actually, we must understand that the drag queen story hour is a political ideology, and we must understand that.

00:28:19.300 It may be fun and comic to see people dress, a man dress like a girl.

00:28:27.300 And so it can be maybe family friend, they try to sell it like family friend, but the real goal, if you look at it, the real goal, it's a political ideology that is going against

00:28:43.960 the two sexes, and they try to sexualize young children, and that's why me and the People's Party of Canada is against that to children. 0.99

00:29:00.200 You know, it must be something for adults.

00:29:03.060 But when they are doing that, they try to put some confusion in a child's mind, saying that maybe, you know, the reality that we know that there's only two sexes,

00:29:21.060 men and male and female, may not be, may not be the reality that may be, you know, different.

00:29:32.820 And so when you are young kids, you try to look at the behavior of your parents, and you want to imitate that.

00:29:41.960 And so when they are doing their performance in front of kids, it is the sexualization of kids, and it is telling them that, you know, you may not be a young boy, you may be a young girl, and vice versa.

00:29:57.720 So I understand why some parents are very upset with that.

00:30:03.260 And they are, you know, that's, you know, the drag queens and their radical trans activists are promoting their ideology to kids, and we must not tolerate that. 0.92

00:30:17.940 It's disgusting, and all that must end.

00:30:22.820 And that's why, you know, I tweeted about that, and we are against that.

00:30:27.520 But it is not politically correct to speak against the drag queen story hour.

00:30:33.900 We are the only national political party that is speaking against that, because it's against our Western civilizations.

00:30:41.920 It's against our education.

00:30:45.100 It's against also, you know, biology and nature and science, that there's only two sexes, and a girl won't be able to be a boy, you know, and a boy won't be able to be a girl.

00:31:01.940 That's the reality.

00:31:03.480 So they are promoting their ideology with kids.

00:31:07.580 And actually, what is worse, is that the federal government, provincial government in BC, and also CBC, are doing that promotion also.

00:31:21.340 You know, we must end all that, and as soon as possible.

00:31:25.920 You know, for me, that's all about, you know, gender dysphoria, if you think that you're in the wrong body.

00:31:36.140 And you cannot solve that with hormones or things like that.

00:31:44.300 And they are, some of them are mutilating their body by trying to transition to another sex. 0.95

00:31:54.420 It won't happen.

00:31:55.720 And that's why, you know, all that, the promotion of that kind of behavior with kids, it's inappropriate, at least.

00:32:06.280 Well, and these are at this drag camp, this summer camp, which is, it almost looks like a parody. 0.92

00:32:13.280 It's so absurd and so ridiculous, but this is true.

00:32:17.160 And they're asking seven-year-olds to come to the camp, and they say that, well, we'll supply the makeup. 0.95

00:32:22.600 It's just, to me, I find this just beyond the pale.

00:32:26.040 Oh, absolutely.

00:32:28.020 And, you know, the federal government gave the last two years to that organization about $280,000 to promote gender dysphoria.

00:32:41.460 And so, for me, I don't understand why you don't have more politicians in Canada at the provincial or federal level that are saying, you know, enough is enough.

00:32:55.920 I know that the drag queen story hour in the U.S., you have more and more opponents against that for the reason that I said.

00:33:08.460 But here in Canada, you know, if you speak against that, you'll be seen as anti-trans.

00:33:14.980 I'm not anti-trans.

00:33:16.080 You can do what you want with your body at 18 years old.

00:33:19.900 But we must not promote that kind of behavior to children.

00:33:27.760 It is the sexualization of children.

00:33:30.720 And we are creating a kind of a confusion, sexual confusion among them when we are bringing kids to camps like that or to a drag queen story hour.

00:33:45.180 And it amazes me that you say there is no other opposition to this.

00:33:54.000 Where is the Conservative Party of Canada?

00:33:55.700 Where is Pierre Polyev?

00:33:57.000 Is he afraid to go after any social issues at all?

00:34:01.260 Absolutely.

00:34:02.160 You know, Pierre Polyev, people must understand that.

00:34:06.080 Pierre Polyev and the Conservative Party of Canada and the NDP and the Bloc Québécois and the Liberals and the Greens, everybody in the House voted in favor of Bill C-4.

00:34:20.140 And they were so happy that they did that.

00:34:23.160 That's the bill that is for the, how do you call that, the conversion therapy. 0.62

00:34:33.180 Oh, yeah.

00:34:33.640 Yes.

00:34:33.860 Oh, that's the, so they've, and Pierre Polyev voted for that.

00:34:39.040 So what that means is if you are a parent and your kids has a gender dysphoria, you cannot, you cannot give to your kids and ask your kid to go to see a health professional to, for your kids to be able to accept his or her body.

00:35:02.460 It's criminal.

00:35:03.860 That's, that's, that's the Bloc C-4. 1.00

00:35:05.820 But the opposite is not criminal.

00:35:08.560 So if your kid is a boy and your boy is saying, your little boy is saying, oh, I may be a girl today.

00:35:16.160 And the teacher or one of the parent or parents is saying, oh, it's okay.

00:35:25.640 They, that kids will have hormones and they will have a therapy to transition to another sex. 0.98

00:35:34.080 So, but the opposite to try to, you know, have that discussion with, with children about gender and trying to have them to accept their, their, their sex.

00:35:46.540 It is illegal and criminal.

00:35:48.680 But Polyev and the conservative and everybody voted in favor of that bill.

00:35:54.540 So that's why they don't, they're, they're not speaking against that.

00:35:58.640 They are for it.

00:35:59.520 You know, I think a lot of people have misunderstood that bill as only pertaining to conversion treatment related to homosexuality.

00:36:10.480 But of course, it's much broader than that, as you just pointed out.

00:36:12.820 And I think that needs to be spelled out to Canadians that this was a dark day with the passage of this bill.

00:36:20.500 And it applies to, it applies to a broad range of sexuality.

00:36:25.320 So yeah, you just have to read the bill.

00:36:28.340 It's clear.

00:36:28.980 It's a very, if you know, you can go on, do your research, go on the internet, bill C-4, you'll see it.

00:36:36.160 It's only three pages.

00:36:37.340 Everything is there and you're going to be able to, to acknowledge yourself of what I said.

00:36:44.600 It's, it's the reality that it is in the bill.

00:36:47.900 You know, CBC claims it's only received a few angry letters or opposing remarks about its show, Dry Kids.

00:36:58.000 Do you think that's true?

00:36:59.920 Or do you think there's more people out there upset about this?

00:37:02.180 First, can we trust the CBC?

00:37:05.100 That's the question.

00:37:06.080 You know, CBC is a woke organization and they are all in, in that, you know, that, the dry, drag queen story time. 0.98

00:37:20.120 That, that's their pep projects.

00:37:22.380 So if they received a lot of calls against that, they won't say, they won't tell us that.

00:37:30.360 So, but, you know, there's more and more protest in Canada.

00:37:34.980 So I believe that more and more people understand what is happening there.

00:37:39.920 You know, it's, you, you also mentioned the fact these drag story hours or story hours.

00:37:47.800 How many other worthy people could be put there to talk to children?

00:37:53.480 You say firefighters, police officers, military personnel, heroes who, who have won medals, but yet we're subjecting kids as young as, as, as seven or eight to cross-dressers, to drag queens. 0.96

00:38:10.160 And yet we wouldn't take kids to a strip club. 0.99

00:38:12.640 And yet, so we seem to think this is almost normal now.

00:38:16.700 But why aren't we reaching out to those people?

00:38:20.140 Well, we used to reach out to true Canadian heroes and let them share their stories with, with children.

00:38:24.700 You have a point.

00:38:26.340 Absolutely.

00:38:26.860 You know, we want children to be able to imitate, you know, their heroes and their parents.

00:38:34.580 And so let's find real heroes, you know, you know, it's not because, you know,

00:38:39.640 you have a person that will dance in front of you in a costume in the, in the other sex. 0.81

00:38:45.760 That is something that we must promote.

00:38:48.600 You know, if, if a kid wants to put a costume and I had two daughters and they did it when

00:38:57.720 they were young, younger in their house and playing with costumes, it's okay, but it's

00:39:06.320 a sexualization. 0.98

00:39:07.840 You know, when you have a show from a drag queen, it is sexual. 1.00

00:39:12.180 It is a reality that they are doing that in bars and, you know, but it's not a place for

00:39:19.840 the, for kids or for family.

00:39:21.660 What I don't like is they are promoting that like a family friend event when, and they are

00:39:28.720 saying, you know, oh, it's to promote a reading, promote, you know, the, the diversity

00:39:39.620 and, and all that, but no, it's not about that.

00:39:44.120 If you want to promote your kids to read and you want to promote reading, you can do that

00:39:50.460 at another place than at a show like that.

00:39:54.720 Well, we've got so many issues in this country and, and, and Pierre Paulyev just wants to talk

00:40:00.700 about the carbon tax and very little else, but we have so many looming issues in this country.

00:40:07.400 I mean, the farmers are facing increasing hardship with not being able to get fertilizer,

00:40:14.660 which could lead to a potential famine, which could lead to us even not being able to feed

00:40:19.320 our own people.

00:40:22.140 We have a prime minister who is completely obsessed with something called, something called

00:40:31.160 diversity.

00:40:31.620 And he can't even define that for us because it can mean just about anything.

00:40:35.180 And we have people unwilling to say that the very character of this country is being gutted

00:40:43.860 by allowing this explosion of drag queen phenomena. 1.00

00:40:49.380 And it's almost like we're experiencing a decline in Canada, like the, like the Roman empire once 0.77

00:40:56.360 did.

00:40:57.060 Do you think we can still save this country?

00:40:59.340 That's why, that's why, that's why I'm in politics.

00:41:02.480 That's why we created the people's party of Canada.

00:41:05.260 And my answer is yes.

00:41:07.020 But the other, the other part of your question is when, and I don't know when, but I believe

00:41:13.080 that the common sense will prevail.

00:41:15.740 And the more we speak about that, the more people will understand about that issue or other

00:41:22.140 issues.

00:41:22.820 And that's what we are doing.

00:41:24.660 That's why I like to say that we at the PPC, we are doing politics differently because, you

00:41:31.900 know, we are speaking about things that may not be popular today or politically correct

00:41:38.640 today.

00:41:39.340 But, you know, we have strong conviction and we believe the more we speak about our conviction

00:41:45.100 based on the Western civilization values, individual freedom, personal responsibility, respect and

00:41:51.780 fairness, the more we speak about our policies and the more support we will have.

00:41:57.780 And actually, if you look at the past, we started the party at 0%, 1.6% and now 5%.

00:42:05.140 And I believe that the next election we will grow.

00:42:07.940 So, but that's the opposite of the conservative and the mainstream establishment political parties

00:42:14.020 who, uh, they are doing politics just based on survey and polling and what people think

00:42:20.840 today.

00:42:21.360 And they will repeat that.

00:42:23.000 So, Polyev is not a leader, is, is a follower, is following the public opinion.

00:42:29.860 And, you know, we need a leader in Canada that will lead with strong ideas and strong values.

00:42:36.860 And I believe that our time will come, but I don't know when, but I can tell you that we have

00:42:42.660 great people across the country that are ready to fight when we'll have an election and, uh,

00:42:48.660 we can be, uh, we can make a big surprise at the next election.

00:42:52.780 So, um, I'm, uh, I'm optimistic that we will win that battle or that common sense revolution.

00:43:01.000 Uh, we need to, we need to be out there and to speak about what we believe openly with passion

00:43:07.620 and conviction and we'll have more support.

00:43:11.200 So, so how do you respond to those conservatives who say, as long as you're still in the race,

00:43:16.940 as long as you're still seeking to have MPs elected, you're just dividing the small C

00:43:23.300 conservative libertarian vote and helping Trudeau.

00:43:26.560 How do you respond to people like that?

00:43:28.520 Yeah, that's the argument about splitting the vote.

00:43:31.020 But, you know, we, we don't split the conservative vote because the conservatives are not conservative

00:43:38.320 right now.

00:43:39.140 Look at our platform.

00:43:40.640 Paul Yev won't speak about mass immigration.

00:43:43.640 He, he, he actually agrees with that.

00:43:47.440 You know, half a million people that will come here in 2025.

00:43:52.080 And we had last year, a million people, if you had the non-resident and foreign students.

00:43:59.120 Uh, so he won't speak about that.

00:44:01.720 He won't speak about the drag queen story hour.

00:44:05.640 He won't, uh, he won't speak about, um, I balancing the budget as soon as possible for

00:44:11.920 him.

00:44:12.260 We must cap the budget.

00:44:14.040 So for him, it's okay to have a big fat government that will tell you what to do or what not to

00:44:19.140 do.

00:44:19.740 Uh, you know, I can go on with the equalization formula that is unfair and we must be less

00:44:26.100 generous.

00:44:26.600 Uh, the climate change, you know, the, the conservative, um, are okay with the, uh, Paris

00:44:34.660 Accord.

00:44:35.200 We will withdraw from the Paris Accord.

00:44:37.240 I understand that Paul Yev won't impose a carbon tax, but it will impose more regulation

00:44:42.580 and, and on businesses to, to achieve the Paris Accord, uh, goals.

00:44:48.860 So that would be costly for Canadians.

00:44:52.180 So what I'm telling you is read our platform.

00:44:55.600 It's not the, it's not the platform, the conservative platform from the conservative

00:45:00.280 party of Canada.

00:45:01.180 And that's why we, we want, we don't split any vote.

00:45:05.000 Paul Yev, if you listen to him pretty carefully and the more, the more, the time, every time

00:45:13.080 it's going a little bit more to the left, Paul Yev, his goal is to split the liberal vote

00:45:19.080 and he, he will do that.

00:45:21.120 And he's doing that because for him to win the election, he will need to have more support

00:45:26.220 in the big GDA near Toronto in Ontario.

00:45:29.260 There's more seats over there than in all Alberta together, and he will need to have support

00:45:35.540 in Vancouver.

00:45:36.920 So he will need to have support from these big liberals cities.

00:45:43.000 And so that's why he's going to the left.

00:45:45.260 So he is hitting the liberal vote and we don't split any vote because we are very different

00:45:50.560 than the, than the conservative party of Canada.

00:45:55.440 Well, it's hard to disagree with that.

00:45:57.900 You once told me that even as a libertarian, as a, as a small city conservative, you were

00:46:03.340 not afraid to talk about social issues, which of course the conservative party of Canada

00:46:07.880 has always been afraid to talk about social issues.

00:46:10.600 So I applaud you for doing this.

00:46:12.260 It needs to be done.

00:46:13.520 You're the only one doing it out there with any credibility as a politician.

00:46:17.260 And I thank you for that because I know a lot of Canadians have had, have been adversely

00:46:24.840 affected by this, this, this incredible explosion and this drag queen phenomenon. 0.92

00:46:30.380 And it's our children that we're trying to save from this.

00:46:33.820 And I think you're, I think you're doing that.

00:46:35.440 So I thank you for your time today, Maxine.

00:46:38.220 It's always a pleasure.

00:46:39.220 And I hope we see you back in the house again and all the best in that, in that, in that writing.

00:46:46.860 Thank you.

00:46:47.320 Thank you, David.

00:46:48.020 I'm very pleased that we had time to have that discussion together.

00:46:51.460 And yes, if I decide to run in that by-election, I'll do everything to be back.

00:46:57.720 But also at the same time, you know, if I'm not back, I have more time to travel across

00:47:02.820 the country and to speak about real common sense reforms.

00:47:07.800 And, but our time will come.

00:47:09.500 I hope it will be as soon as possible.

00:47:11.480 So thank you for everything, David.

00:47:13.360 And let's stay in touch.

00:47:15.520 Yes.

00:47:16.140 Yes.
