00:03:10.920 Like, I'm going to visit the place that you fled. 0.98
00:03:17.260 That's why I don't believe any refugee when they say they fled imminent death and danger
00:03:26.360 and poverty and starvation and rape and murder. 0.95
00:03:30.060 Don't believe it.
00:03:31.780 They have such loyalty to a country that they supposedly were in danger every day of their lives.
00:03:41.380 They were in danger.
00:03:43.540 A safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors making sure my car doesn't get stolen.
00:03:49.140 It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars.
00:03:52.640 And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.
00:03:55.700 We're making every corner of Ontario safer to make all of Ontario safer.
00:04:00.680 That's how we protect Ontario.
00:04:02.680 For all of us.
00:04:04.760 Learn how at Ontario.ca slash Safer Ontario.
00:04:07.880 Paid for by the government of Ontario.
00:04:14.920 And they have more loyalty toward that country than they do their new country
00:04:19.860 who brings them in, gives them stuff, free food, free money, clothes, houses.
00:04:25.640 They let them run for office.
00:04:27.820 They get them elected.
00:04:28.660 They then robbed the system blind with billions of dollars in fraud.
00:04:36.900 But, oh, Somalia, oh, that's a wonderful place.
00:04:40.480 And then the mayor's like, yeah, I want to visit there.
00:04:44.640 Why would, you know, there are some people that fled genuine danger.
00:04:49.700 You look back in post-Vietnam, South Vietnamese, Cambodia, after the Khmer Rouge regime just murdering people over in Cambodia.
00:05:03.820 And they fled danger and came here to the United States.
00:05:09.440 And they weren't liked very much either.
00:05:11.220 A lot of them settled in California, northern California, San Francisco area.
00:05:18.780 and made amazing lives for themselves, raised families.
00:05:24.680 Generations of families have now been living in America 0.81
00:05:28.300 from some of the most war-torn, horrible, dangerous countries in Southeast Asia. 0.83
00:05:40.200 And do you think they want to hear someone go,
00:05:44.760 and next year I'm going to Cambodia?
00:05:48.780 They'd be like, are you out of your mind?
00:05:51.800 Why?
00:05:52.900 Why would you go there? 0.53
00:05:54.000 I hate that place. 0.63
00:05:56.980 Even Vietnam, like nowadays, it's kind of cool.
00:06:00.980 People actually go there as tourists,
00:06:03.160 and they take you on tours of the tunnels that the South Vietnamese,
00:06:11.400 Charlie, Viet Cong, the North Vietnamese, the tunnels they would use.
00:06:16.580 Here's the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
00:06:18.160 oh this is wonderful who would do that is it cool does it sound like a cool thing to do it's i don't
00:06:25.340 know i don't think enough time's passed people still very angry and bitter about that war and
00:06:31.180 alive still alive i don't know if that's a good thing you go over there and take a tour of of
00:06:37.760 things here's the booby traps now now uh yeah it's a little insulting to the the veterans
00:06:48.600 that are still alive i think it's insulting to them to go on these little tourism excursions
00:06:56.180 to the countries they fought and uh died it it's different like i guess because technically and
00:07:03.180 Believe me, I know the arguments.
00:07:04.660 We won World War II. 0.64
00:07:07.060 I know.
00:07:07.760 Don't get feisty with me, people.
00:07:10.020 I've seen.
00:07:12.420 So I guess that's why soldiers can go to France and the beaches of Normandy is a big thing.
00:07:18.480 Veterans go there and get all teared up, very sad to watch.
00:07:24.600 But a war like Vietnam, yeah, kind of lost that one.
00:07:30.860 I don't think it's cool to go over there and look at all the enemies' little tricks and traps that they had as a tourist thing.
00:07:42.620 It's insulting, I think.
00:07:45.000 That's my opinion.
00:07:47.720 Yeah. 1.00
00:07:48.380 But, yeah, anybody that would say they want to go over there, you'd get the refugees from there going, no, I have no want or need. 1.00
00:07:59.660 And imagine it's still like that. 1.00
00:08:01.860 Imagine Vietnam was still just like Vietnam 1972, 73. 1.00
00:08:09.160 You think these refugees would be like, oh, I can't wait to go back. 1.00
00:08:13.360 Well, Somalia is still just like it was when they fled to come here. 1.00
00:08:19.600 It's still that bad.
00:08:21.720 It's still that militaristic run by warlords.
00:08:25.620 There's murder.
00:08:26.700 There's genocide going on.
00:08:28.140 i want to visit there what a pandering tool this guy is
00:08:34.540 and they're all clapping because they love the country they're rebuilding it here they're taking
