Summary

In this episode of the podcast, I chat with two of my favorite Canadians about the controversial issue of Indian Residential Schools in Canada, and why they might not have been as bad as you think they were. We talk about the history of these schools, what they were really like, and what they meant for the indigenous people of Canada.

00:00:30.120 Hey, everybody. How's it going? Thanks for joining me this afternoon.
00:00:33.380 I've got a great stream with some great guests that I think you're really going to enjoy.
00:00:38.780 So, if you're like me, you're on Twitter, and all of this news just kind of rolls past you constantly.
00:00:45.840 It's a weird place because, in some ways, you encounter a lot of bad stuff that you never would have encountered.
00:00:51.420 But you also run into many stories that otherwise would have flown entirely under the radar
00:00:56.980 if you had not been kind of plugged into kind of this hub of the journalistic consciousness in the tech space.
00:01:05.820 And one of the things that kind of came up, it didn't get much play in America,
00:01:09.400 but it did make some waves kind of on the Twitter sphere,
00:01:13.260 was the fact that there was this scandal going on in Canada about these residential schools,
00:01:22.060 these indigenous groups, these children who might have been buried in these mass graves,
00:01:26.200 kind of the churches that were burned into response to this,
00:01:30.580 a whole bunch of different controversy that surrounded this.
00:01:35.360 Now, a little while ago, it became clear that many parts of this story
00:01:39.980 might have been unsure, completely fabricated,
00:01:43.340 and that has now kind of trickled its way into the more mainstream press,
00:01:49.680 the United States, the UK, other areas have become more aware of this narrative.
00:01:55.500 So I wanted to go back, look at this story,
00:01:57.960 get an idea of what was going on and what we've discovered,
00:02:00.780 and joining me to do that today are two of my favorite Canadians,
00:02:03.900 two of my favorite Leafs.
00:02:04.900 We, of course, have the great sub-stacker, Kruptos.
00:02:08.120 Thanks for joining me, sir.
00:02:09.700 Hey, pleasure to be on, Oren.
00:02:11.220 Thanks for the invite.
00:02:11.980 Absolutely, and of course, one of our favorites, he is an artist, he is a scholar,
00:02:17.020 he is a co-host of a podcast with one of our other favorites.
00:02:20.260 Republican Thought Leader.
00:02:21.580 Republican Thought Leader, absolutely.
00:02:23.760 He is Giant Geo.
00:02:24.900 Thanks for coming on, man.
00:02:26.320 Thank you.
00:02:26.860 And the reason I don't have a fez is because I feel like serious subject matter,
00:02:30.680 so I'm putting on my serious hat metaphysically.
00:02:33.620 This is, yeah, this is the most serious I've ever seen, Geo,
00:02:37.740 so that definitely speaks to the gravity of the situation.
00:02:42.900 I appreciate him, you know, kind of bringing the more somber tone to this,
00:02:47.600 because I think it is something that is pretty significant and something we need to look at in real detail.
00:02:52.220 So, guys, you know, I'm not sure which one of you kind of want to take us out on this a little bit,
00:02:59.180 but most Americans are probably completely unfamiliar with the history here.
00:03:03.600 What are residential schools, what do they have to do in relation to the indigenous population in Canada,
00:03:09.680 and what did this controversy kind of entail?
00:03:13.400 Well, I think Krumpto should go first because, not to age docs, not to dry snitch,
00:03:18.020 but he's been around a lot longer than both of us, especially in Canada, so.
00:03:23.920 Yeah, the thing about the residential schools is they were a largely,
00:03:31.980 and this is part of the whole story,
00:03:33.740 they were largely a progressive solution to solve the, quote-unquote, Indian problem, in a sense.
00:03:40.420 So, you know, Canada was put together as a mix of,
00:03:46.680 you had the British conquering the French and the native tribes,
00:03:52.140 and in, you know, rather than, say, annihilate everybody,
00:03:55.620 they reached settlements with both the French and also with the natives in terms of reserves,
00:04:01.740 and over the years, these settlements have been negotiated and renegotiated.
00:04:06.420 They get special tax breaks and so forth.
00:04:09.540 Now, the reserves have experienced all kinds of problems.
00:04:13.980 There are problems with alcoholism.
00:04:16.840 For whatever reason, the native population just has an intolerance,
00:04:21.780 like some people, like some people groups have intolerance to milk or cheese.
00:04:25.780 The native population does not react well to alcohol,
00:04:29.040 and so for some tribes that, you know,
00:04:33.600 even several drinks can basically make them alcoholics.
00:04:37.660 So you have some of these issues.
00:04:39.440 So then what happens to the kids of some of these folks that have been,
00:04:44.600 you know, in a sense, damaged through the process of conquest,
00:04:48.100 the reserves, just the sort of the marginalized place
00:04:52.520 that native Canadians have been in Canadian society.
00:04:57.760 So you get these kids who are sometimes parentless
00:05:02.760 or the parents are unable to take care of them.
00:05:04.600 They're with grandma and grandpa.
00:05:06.220 Then you have this whole progressive idea, you know, ideology in a sense,
00:05:09.640 we're going to help the native population integrate into Canada.
00:05:13.320 And so you begin to pack up a lot of these kids
00:05:17.160 and you put them into schools that are government funded,
00:05:22.320 but end up being run by churches, by the Catholic Church,
00:05:27.080 by the United Church, and so forth.
00:05:29.100 The Anglican Church as well.
00:05:30.580 Anglican Churches.
00:05:31.600 And so some of these schools were phenomenal.
00:05:34.260 Like you go through the list of stories,
00:05:37.000 and while you can hear horror stories,
00:05:39.800 and there's no denying some of these places were not good places
00:05:44.120 and some of the teachers were terrible people,
00:05:47.660 there are also some very good stories that come out of it,
00:05:50.540 like people who will claim that their lives were saved
00:05:52.900 by the residential schools and so forth and so forth.
00:05:55.180 So you often have underfunded teachers, pastors, priests
00:06:00.400 working in these residential schools,
00:06:03.920 trying to do the best that they can with many of these kids
00:06:07.540 who come in bringing problems with them
00:06:10.720 and try to deal with a tough situation.
00:06:14.400 And then, you know, kids get sick, they die,
00:06:18.460 they often put in requests for proper burials,
00:06:22.020 they get denied, and so they're, you know,
00:06:24.720 just buried in the churchyard.
00:06:27.020 And then eventually people realize, like,
00:06:29.180 well, maybe this whole sense of forced enculturation
00:06:31.800 is maybe not the most of progressive ideas,
00:06:35.680 and eventually they were shut down, like, what,
00:06:37.800 mid-90s they ran up until, right?
00:06:39.740 I think they were still going into the 90s.
00:06:41.480 The last major one was in the 1960s, if I recall,
00:06:44.160 but up until the 80s and 90s.
00:06:46.840 Yeah, and so they get shut down,
00:06:51.800 but then now there's this legacy,
00:06:54.220 so you have this, you know,
00:06:55.580 what do we make of them as Canadians?
00:06:57.520 Are they a good thing, a bad thing?
00:07:00.020 And generally people have sort of settled on,
00:07:02.260 well, this was a terrible era in Canadian history, right?
00:07:06.240 And so then you have a chief and a tribe out in BC
00:07:10.620 who, you know, makes the case that,
00:07:13.860 well, their oral history of their tribe,
00:07:18.340 so the stories they tell themselves
00:07:20.400 say that these schools were horrible
00:07:24.500 and that there are children buried in there.
00:07:26.680 There's, like, quote-unquote mass graves.
00:07:29.000 So somebody takes some ground penetrating radar,
00:07:31.260 goes out and finds what looks like
00:07:34.500 on the ground penetrating radar to be skeletons.
00:07:37.680 And then everything blows up in the press
00:07:40.820 and Justin Trudeau makes the comments
00:07:48.760 that, well, that, you know,
00:07:51.000 their feelings are justified.
00:07:53.840 Well, people said there was some,
00:07:55.720 I think the first what happened
00:07:56.940 is some churches got burned in response to this
00:07:59.900 and then Trudeau made the comment,
00:08:01.780 well, you know, people's feelings about this
00:08:04.180 are very understandable.
00:08:06.380 And then realizing that he'd made a big blunder,
00:08:08.800 tries to walk it back and say,
00:08:10.320 well, of course, attacks on churches are uncalled for.
00:08:13.920 But I think there's something like
00:08:14.940 we're north of 80 churches now have been set fire
00:08:18.120 or vandalized in some, like, severe way.
00:08:21.920 And so now it remains open,
00:08:23.320 but there was always from the very beginning
00:08:25.540 a segment of the population
00:08:29.020 who were very skeptical,
00:08:31.500 a number of academics,
00:08:33.420 some of whom lost their jobs because of that.
00:08:37.380 I'm trying to find, see if I can get her name.
00:08:40.160 But anyways, and so they have maintained
00:08:43.120 that, you know, there really isn't anything to this.
00:08:46.160 You know, and people were actually saying,
00:08:47.640 like, listen, we don't want to shy away
00:08:48.960 from the history.
00:08:50.040 We don't want to say that these places
00:08:51.740 were all, you know, sunshine and roses,
00:08:54.140 that bad things did happen.
00:08:55.660 Some people did get sexually abused.
00:08:58.320 Some kids did not end up dying of disease and neglect
00:09:01.980 because they didn't get proper medical care.
00:09:03.700 But sometimes because, you know,
00:09:05.360 the teachers and pastors and priests
00:09:07.300 were trying to tell the government,
00:09:08.460 hey, these kids need medical care,
00:09:09.820 but they weren't being gotten.
00:09:11.000 And so, you know, nobody wants to shy away from it.
00:09:15.100 But at the same time, people say, like, listen,
00:09:16.940 this story of mass graves and stuff
00:09:18.620 really just, you know, it strains credulity.
00:09:21.300 And so, yeah, but before we get into
00:09:23.140 then kind of what was discovered there,
00:09:24.940 I want to address a few of the things
00:09:26.260 that you kind of brought up.
00:09:28.180 So in some ways, you know,
00:09:31.540 there is a echo of this experience
00:09:34.180 in the United States
00:09:35.700 because there was this tension between,
00:09:38.300 like you said, you know,
00:09:38.960 you have these initial negotiations
00:09:42.960 and Native Americans were pushed
00:09:45.040 kind of further and further
00:09:46.060 into different parts of America
00:09:49.000 that weren't settled yet.
00:09:50.120 and eventually so much of the area was settled
00:09:52.420 that reservations were established.
00:09:54.660 And the big question that many people asked was,
00:09:57.040 you know, what do we do?
00:09:58.520 Do we try to make these people American?
00:10:00.880 Because their way of life is dead now, right?
00:10:04.280 There's no way that they can continue
00:10:06.020 completely in their traditional tribal mode of being.
00:10:09.520 They've made too much contact
00:10:10.760 with kind of modern European peoples.
00:10:13.040 And so they're not going to go back that way.
00:10:15.420 And so a lot of people made the argument
00:10:16.620 that these people need to be Christianized.
00:10:18.300 They need to be modernized.
00:10:19.720 They need to be brought into kind of American culture.
00:10:22.640 And these schools were set up.
00:10:24.620 At the same time,
00:10:25.380 there was a turning away from that eventually
00:10:27.620 and more of a respect for,
00:10:29.260 okay, actually you should be able
00:10:31.180 to continue your way as life as much as possible.
00:10:33.460 And so like reservations were respected
00:10:35.340 more and set up.
00:10:36.280 And so I don't think this is,
00:10:37.860 this is only the Canadian experience here,
00:10:40.380 but it sounds like there was a,
00:10:42.720 there was this hysteria that was fed into
00:10:45.160 a little bit because of the way this was framed.
00:10:48.620 And it's really the reaction
00:10:50.660 that was seen as justifiable
00:10:53.580 that I think is the most shocking part of it.
00:10:56.880 Because like you said,
00:10:57.880 people had contested this from the beginning,
00:11:00.180 but they were fired.
00:11:02.000 They were silenced.
00:11:03.080 There seemed to be basically
00:11:04.160 almost a legal blackout of Canadian media
00:11:07.500 on discussing any other views
00:11:09.560 on what could be true about this,
00:11:11.400 that kind of thing.
00:11:11.960 I remember one of the reasons this came on my radar
00:11:14.900 is all of these churches were burning down
00:11:17.420 and people like Lauren Southern were saying,
00:11:20.500 oh no, this isn't true.
00:11:21.940 There's evidence that this isn't true.
00:11:23.480 And she was just shouted down,
00:11:24.700 called a racist, completely canceled.
00:11:26.860 I believe the Pope ended up apologizing for this.
00:11:30.220 He did.
00:11:31.140 Justin Pedro ended up,
00:11:32.960 like you said, justifying this.
00:11:35.400 I mean, those churches burned.
00:11:37.380 And was anyone brought to justice for that?
00:11:39.980 Was anyone ever held accountable for that?
00:11:44.500 Well, if Kryptos, I have a few points,
00:11:46.740 but if you wanted to finish.
00:11:48.520 Well, I was going to say too,
00:11:49.820 like it's interesting,
00:11:51.220 like even the burning of churches
00:11:52.380 is controversial in the native community
00:11:55.140 because many of these churches
00:11:56.460 are active functioning,
00:11:59.100 like centers of community life
00:12:01.940 in the reserve communities, right?
00:12:04.440 So it's not like they were attacking
00:12:07.220 like the white man's religion,
00:12:09.280 whatever, blah, blah, blah.
00:12:10.140 These are their own churches, right?
00:12:12.540 That people were burning down.
00:12:13.820 Right.
00:12:14.200 Well, we have to distinguish
00:12:15.080 that the vast majority of these church burnings
00:12:17.160 were not done by indigenous people.
00:12:18.700 They were done by white Antifa
00:12:20.560 and other leftist groups.
00:12:23.280 Yes.
00:12:23.920 There maybe have been a few indigenous people involved,
00:12:26.880 but these churches,
00:12:28.520 they do provide community centers and so forth.
00:12:31.480 But yeah, yeah, so, but I,
00:12:36.220 oh, sorry, go ahead.
00:12:37.660 No, you go ahead, you go ahead.
00:12:38.940 Well, what I wanted to say
00:12:40.220 is that to be as optical as possible,
00:12:42.780 I may come off as being a bit liberal,
00:12:45.100 but, you know, I have a great respect
00:12:48.880 and reverence for the indigenous people.
00:12:50.540 But I think another thing,
00:12:51.800 the historical context would be
00:12:53.360 that the experience between the French
00:12:56.640 and the British in Canada
00:12:57.680 is quite different in some respects
00:13:00.680 than Americans.
00:13:02.300 Well, I mean, Americans are British at one time,
00:13:04.140 but you know what I mean, Americans.
00:13:05.780 Especially after when the constitution
00:13:07.560 was established and so forth.
00:13:09.000 And, you know, and let's face it,
00:13:10.500 you did have a lot of horrific abuses
00:13:13.580 and outright, you know,
00:13:15.840 campaigns against the indigenous people in America.
00:13:19.180 You know, people talk about Andrew Jackson
00:13:20.560 and so forth.
00:13:21.380 But in Canada,
00:13:22.140 because of the vastness of the wilderness
00:13:23.800 and because of going way back
00:13:26.320 to Champlain and the French,
00:13:28.820 the reliance between settlers
00:13:30.640 and the indigenous people
00:13:32.220 that were already here,
00:13:33.520 the establishment was a bit different
00:13:35.820 because of having to deal
00:13:37.760 with the Canadian wilderness itself.
00:13:40.120 And then later on,
00:13:40.980 when established,
00:13:41.940 when settlements were established
00:13:43.560 by the British and French,
00:13:44.800 then you start to have
00:13:46.400 a different character of relationships
00:13:48.880 between the indigenous people
00:13:50.540 and, you know,
00:13:51.480 the British and the French and so forth,
00:13:53.400 for anglophone and francophone,
00:13:54.860 for those who are American
00:13:56.120 that don't know the,
00:13:57.500 you know, that's what we call it
00:13:58.440 here in Canada.
00:13:59.820 So, but I would say that
00:14:01.060 when it comes to the issue,
00:14:04.140 contemporary church burnings,
00:14:06.120 we have to realize that, yes,
00:14:09.300 the residential school system
00:14:10.740 in a lot of ways,
00:14:13.160 even if there was,
00:14:14.280 there was many positive experiences,
00:14:15.960 as Krupto says,
00:14:17.140 but the issue is the sort of
00:14:19.240 the nature of it themselves
00:14:20.480 in the sense that they are
00:14:21.720 taking children
00:14:22.840 and they're placing them
00:14:24.280 vast distances sometimes
00:14:27.020 from their reservations.
00:14:30.160 If the program would have
00:14:31.680 been done differently,
00:14:32.780 if there would have been schools
00:14:33.680 established on the reservations,
00:14:36.620 and in a lot of sense,
00:14:38.020 in a lot of cases,
00:14:40.460 these children were being protected
00:14:42.220 by abuses on the reservations.
00:14:44.900 But then, of course,
00:14:46.000 because of lack of oversight
00:14:47.280 and funding,
00:14:48.140 there was horrific amounts
00:14:49.880 of abuse in some places
00:14:51.260 of sexual and physical nature.
00:14:53.920 But when it comes to the issue
00:14:55.580 of children dying,
00:14:58.800 now, there were higher
00:15:01.560 than average amounts
00:15:02.860 of child mortality rates
00:15:04.460 on and off reservations
00:15:06.340 for indigenous children.
00:15:07.900 And this is for a variety
00:15:08.900 of reasons.
00:15:10.340 Neglect, also genetically,
00:15:12.440 when it comes to, say,
00:15:15.220 you know,
00:15:16.380 descendants of European children
00:15:18.160 that have exposure much more
00:15:20.100 to, you know,
00:15:20.900 certain pathogens and so forth,
00:15:22.800 the tuberculosis rates,
00:15:24.740 the rates of diphtheria
00:15:26.640 and other illnesses,
00:15:27.900 there was a big study done
00:15:30.560 after World War I
00:15:31.980 on a lot of these grave sites
00:15:33.780 and these children.
00:15:35.100 A lot of it was disease.
00:15:36.240 And also, I would say that,
00:15:37.720 yes, there were childhood deaths
00:15:39.580 attributed to abuse.
00:15:41.180 This is a fact
00:15:42.440 that we could not shy away from.
00:15:44.280 Now, when it comes
00:15:45.180 to the definition of,
00:15:46.600 I can't say for YouTube
00:15:47.680 for Oren's channel's sake,
00:15:49.360 but let's call it G-word-I.
00:15:51.840 The discourse in Canada
00:15:53.200 is that do the residential schools
00:15:55.480 constitute a form
00:15:57.660 of cultural G-word-I?
00:15:59.640 Now, I would say that
00:16:00.880 trying to get rid of their language
00:16:03.000 and culture
00:16:03.620 and taking away these children
00:16:04.940 all the way up to the 60s,
00:16:06.620 I would say that, yes,
00:16:07.800 I would agree that
00:16:08.860 that in itself was
00:16:10.680 like Kripto said,
00:16:12.560 may have been the liberalism
00:16:13.640 of the day.
00:16:15.040 But still,
00:16:16.140 in terms of contemporary standards,
00:16:17.800 yes,
00:16:18.520 that was an incredible abuse
00:16:19.940 and the lack of oversight
00:16:21.120 and everything.
00:16:21.860 We cannot shy away from this.
00:16:23.740 But when it comes
00:16:24.560 to the contemporary
00:16:25.400 political context
00:16:26.620 of these church burnings
00:16:28.400 that result from the
00:16:29.520 issue of the
00:16:30.620 quote-unquote
00:16:31.060 mass graves,
00:16:32.280 this is the problem.
00:16:33.860 When you use that word,
00:16:35.420 mass graves,
00:16:36.640 we all know,
00:16:37.460 I don't want,
00:16:39.240 again,
00:16:39.480 for you too,
00:16:39.980 we can't say it.
00:16:40.240 We all know what it conjures,
00:16:41.200 yeah.
00:16:41.480 We all know that event
00:16:43.020 in the 20th century
00:16:44.000 that it conjures,
00:16:44.840 okay?
00:16:45.560 Mid-century,
00:16:46.460 you know.
00:16:47.100 So I think that
00:16:48.360 it was a combination
00:16:50.160 of media
00:16:52.260 politicking,
00:16:53.920 passive admission
00:16:55.500 by the Trudeau government
00:16:56.380 that it's almost,
00:16:57.920 I mean,
00:16:58.400 not Trudeau himself,
00:16:59.520 but there were certainly
00:17:00.520 members of the Trudeau government
00:17:03.160 that said that
00:17:04.160 not only was this justified,
00:17:05.420 but like there were some
00:17:06.500 that were almost passively
00:17:07.600 cheering it on,
00:17:08.820 right?
00:17:09.940 But also when it comes
00:17:11.300 to Indigenous people
00:17:12.140 themselves,
00:17:14.080 another factor is that
00:17:15.580 while this whole thing
00:17:16.820 about mass graves
00:17:17.640 is going on,
00:17:18.880 there was always
00:17:20.020 this relationship
00:17:21.380 between Indigenous peoples
00:17:23.400 and the Liberal Party.
00:17:24.900 We have to realize
00:17:25.880 that there are still
00:17:26.580 reservations in Canada
00:17:27.840 that do not have
00:17:28.940 running water,
00:17:30.240 that people live
00:17:30.960 in almost third world
00:17:31.660 conditions.
00:17:32.880 And Trudeau has been,
00:17:33.980 how long has it been
00:17:34.520 Cryptos?
00:17:34.840 Eight years?
00:17:36.000 At least.
00:17:37.380 At least.
00:17:38.300 And this is going back
00:17:39.140 to his father,
00:17:40.060 or well,
00:17:40.400 I guess stepfather,
00:17:41.200 whatever.
00:17:41.620 But for his father,
00:17:43.260 the relationship,
00:17:44.320 you know,
00:17:45.020 I don't mean to joke,
00:17:46.240 but I,
00:17:46.880 you know,
00:17:47.760 the relationship
00:17:49.440 between the,
00:17:49.860 the resemblances are there.
00:17:51.160 Yeah,
00:17:51.580 yeah,
00:17:51.760 but the relationship
00:17:52.920 between the Liberal Party
00:17:54.020 and Indigenous communities
00:17:56.000 has been long established,
00:17:57.080 has been a contentious one.
00:17:58.740 And I think
00:17:59.740 that it's done
00:18:00.260 a massive disservice
00:18:01.700 to neglect the real abuses
00:18:05.540 and to conjure a fantastical story
00:18:08.600 about mass graves
00:18:10.540 and other things
00:18:11.820 that that conjures up
00:18:12.920 when we have reservations
00:18:14.780 and people that live
00:18:15.980 in reservations
00:18:16.700 that are not having
00:18:18.600 their needs met
00:18:19.500 despite the funding.
00:18:21.140 Now,
00:18:21.240 you have to remember
00:18:21.780 the one thing.
00:18:22.480 Now,
00:18:22.540 listen,
00:18:23.640 Stephen Harper
00:18:24.280 is not,
00:18:25.780 by American standards,
00:18:27.020 would be the reddest,
00:18:28.800 sorry,
00:18:29.060 the bluest
00:18:29.660 of blue dog
00:18:31.000 or whatever you want
00:18:32.080 to call rhinos,
00:18:32.900 or you'd be the bluest
00:18:33.580 of rhinos,
00:18:34.560 okay?
00:18:34.900 He is not a far-right person.
00:18:37.460 But during his administration,
00:18:38.960 he wanted to push through
00:18:40.060 what he called
00:18:40.800 the Accountability Act
00:18:41.940 to say that
00:18:43.420 for a long time
00:18:45.060 when it comes to funding
00:18:46.160 for reservations
00:18:47.020 and Indigenous programs,
00:18:48.780 there has been
00:18:49.380 kind of a lack of oversight.
00:18:51.480 The first thing
00:18:52.260 that Trudeau did
00:18:53.060 when he came to power
00:18:54.240 was to get rid of
00:18:55.780 Stephen Harper's
00:18:56.560 Accountability Act,
00:18:57.860 right?
00:18:58.620 Now,
00:18:59.140 this was not
00:18:59.740 a far-right thing.
00:19:01.320 This was Stephen Harper
00:19:02.460 we're talking about here.
00:19:03.720 But the first thing
00:19:04.720 that Trudeau did
00:19:05.340 was get rid of it.
00:19:06.700 Now,
00:19:07.120 I think that
00:19:07.860 it's a combination
00:19:08.600 of a lack of oversight,
00:19:10.740 political passivity
00:19:11.800 within the culture
00:19:12.640 of the Liberal Party,
00:19:14.100 but also
00:19:14.700 this sort of
00:19:15.340 media fabulation
00:19:16.420 that in part,
00:19:17.880 you have to realize
00:19:18.300 the context.
00:19:19.420 This is 2021.
00:19:21.000 This is coming off
00:19:21.980 of the
00:19:22.420 summer of love
00:19:23.860 from in America.
00:19:25.160 A lot of what
00:19:26.820 Liberals do
00:19:27.520 and leftists do
00:19:28.260 in Canada
00:19:28.720 is they have to
00:19:29.560 create
00:19:30.060 a similar
00:19:31.480 atmosphere
00:19:32.640 as a lot of
00:19:34.160 contentious
00:19:34.740 leftist political
00:19:36.360 issues in America.
00:19:37.740 And I believe
00:19:38.660 that a lot of
00:19:39.320 the driving force
00:19:40.080 in terms of
00:19:40.640 the media,
00:19:41.800 in terms of
00:19:42.460 the Liberals
00:19:42.920 and the media,
00:19:43.660 is basically
00:19:44.840 to say that,
00:19:45.600 okay,
00:19:45.980 we can have
00:19:46.780 also,
00:19:47.360 kind of like
00:19:47.760 the Democrats
00:19:48.180 in the States,
00:19:48.920 we can have
00:19:49.520 our issues too.
00:19:50.240 And all
00:19:51.540 of this
00:19:51.920 is in the
00:19:52.300 backdrop
00:19:52.660 of the
00:19:53.260 real-world
00:19:54.080 problems
00:19:54.720 that
00:19:55.720 Indigenous
00:19:56.380 people
00:19:56.740 face
00:19:57.120 in Canada.
00:19:58.140 Now,
00:19:58.500 the rates
00:19:59.160 of women
00:20:00.880 disappearing
00:20:01.580 as well,
00:20:02.240 Indigenous
00:20:02.460 women
00:20:02.780 who
00:20:03.420 escape
00:20:04.060 horrific
00:20:04.480 abuses
00:20:04.960 on the
00:20:05.660 reservations
00:20:06.120 that end
00:20:06.940 up in
00:20:07.200 places like
00:20:07.760 Vancouver
00:20:08.300 and end
00:20:09.420 up tragically
00:20:10.820 being trafficked
00:20:11.960 and so forth,
00:20:12.900 some of them
00:20:13.520 meeting people
00:20:14.120 like Robert
00:20:14.720 Pickton,
00:20:15.760 that by the
00:20:16.500 way was a
00:20:16.900 huge blunder
00:20:17.380 with policing
00:20:17.960 in Canada
00:20:18.760 and Vancouver
00:20:19.360 in particular,
00:20:20.240 I mean,
00:20:20.720 all of these
00:20:21.140 issues go
00:20:21.760 unmentioned
00:20:23.120 because of
00:20:24.420 the media
00:20:26.460 apparatus
00:20:27.100 around
00:20:27.660 the quote-unquote
00:20:30.100 mass graves.
00:20:31.240 And there's
00:20:31.540 been a lot
00:20:31.880 of journalists,
00:20:32.540 people on the
00:20:33.080 political left
00:20:33.580 like Terry
00:20:34.200 Glavin,
00:20:34.900 who published
00:20:35.560 that article
00:20:36.120 that he got
00:20:36.660 absolutely
00:20:37.340 fragged for
00:20:38.200 in the
00:20:38.780 National Post,
00:20:40.500 a man who's
00:20:41.260 been talking
00:20:42.100 about and
00:20:42.660 writing about
00:20:43.420 Indigenous
00:20:43.720 issues for
00:20:44.700 multiple decades
00:20:45.640 since at least
00:20:46.280 the 1980s.
00:20:47.620 Terry Glavin
00:20:48.160 is not a
00:20:48.620 right-wing person.
00:20:49.240 He is a
00:20:51.280 lib,
00:20:51.780 right?
00:20:52.400 But he was
00:20:53.000 dragged through
00:20:53.540 the mud,
00:20:53.940 his name was
00:20:54.400 dragged through
00:20:54.760 the mud.
00:20:55.500 And yes,
00:20:55.960 there are
00:20:56.320 problems with
00:20:57.280 his reporting
00:20:57.780 as well.
00:20:58.220 There was
00:20:58.440 this,
00:20:59.540 for example,
00:21:00.100 in Canada
00:21:00.640 land,
00:21:00.920 which is
00:21:01.200 more of
00:21:01.560 a leftist
00:21:02.220 liberal
00:21:02.860 publication,
00:21:04.060 they,
00:21:04.400 you know,
00:21:04.640 poked holes
00:21:05.200 in his
00:21:05.620 story,
00:21:06.200 but they
00:21:06.800 were pretty
00:21:07.140 fair.
00:21:08.180 But despite
00:21:08.940 that,
00:21:09.380 he still
00:21:09.800 stuck his
00:21:10.360 neck out
00:21:10.740 to say
00:21:11.080 that maybe
00:21:12.120 there should
00:21:12.660 be greater
00:21:13.120 accountability
00:21:13.640 by journalists
00:21:14.700 when it
00:21:15.560 comes to
00:21:16.020 reporting on
00:21:16.560 Indigenous
00:21:16.880 issues,
00:21:17.280 because he
00:21:17.980 had been
00:21:18.220 reporting on
00:21:18.760 Indigenous
00:21:19.040 issues for
00:21:19.700 a very
00:21:20.800 long time
00:21:21.440 from a
00:21:22.100 liberal
00:21:22.360 perspective.
00:21:23.680 And that's
00:21:23.900 just one
00:21:24.200 example.
00:21:24.720 And Kryptos was
00:21:25.360 saying there's
00:21:25.780 academics who
00:21:26.380 have been
00:21:26.600 also dragged
00:21:27.700 through the
00:21:28.040 mud because
00:21:28.480 of it.
00:21:28.840 Some of
00:21:29.280 them were
00:21:29.580 also
00:21:29.840 Indigenous
00:21:30.140 people,
00:21:30.660 by the
00:21:30.920 way,
00:21:31.460 that were
00:21:31.760 Indigenous
00:21:32.100 studies
00:21:33.320 that said
00:21:34.160 that maybe
00:21:34.580 this is the
00:21:35.160 wrong approach
00:21:35.780 to addressing
00:21:36.780 the lived
00:21:37.740 experiences of
00:21:38.740 Indigenous
00:21:39.080 people in
00:21:39.700 Canada.
00:21:39.940 So that's
00:21:40.580 my little
00:21:40.960 rant.
00:21:41.360 I just
00:21:41.560 wanted to
00:21:42.380 nuance this
00:21:43.320 whole thing
00:21:43.780 because I
00:21:44.420 do admit
00:21:44.880 that it's
00:21:46.020 a very
00:21:46.380 tragic history
00:21:47.240 when it
00:21:47.860 comes to
00:21:48.240 residential
00:21:48.580 schools.
00:21:49.540 And the
00:21:49.760 way that
00:21:50.140 it was
00:21:50.380 set up
00:21:50.940 does
00:21:52.180 constitute
00:21:52.800 abuse
00:21:54.280 when it
00:21:54.960 comes to
00:21:55.340 taking
00:21:55.640 children right
00:21:56.580 up into
00:21:56.860 the 1960s.
00:21:57.740 I know
00:21:58.000 Indigenous
00:21:59.640 people who
00:22:00.320 have been
00:22:00.640 a product
00:22:01.120 of that
00:22:01.640 seizure
00:22:02.380 efforts
00:22:03.320 during the
00:22:04.920 60s of
00:22:05.960 Indigenous
00:22:06.520 children.
00:22:08.260 But the
00:22:09.080 way that
00:22:09.640 they
00:22:09.800 approached
00:22:10.320 it,
00:22:10.640 the way
00:22:11.160 that it
00:22:11.580 fomented
00:22:12.400 hatred
00:22:13.400 and abuse
00:22:14.020 towards
00:22:14.540 churches.
00:22:15.500 There were
00:22:16.200 Orthodox
00:22:16.700 churches that
00:22:17.520 got burned
00:22:18.020 because,
00:22:18.940 of course,
00:22:19.340 it's like
00:22:19.940 the media.
00:22:20.700 They all
00:22:20.900 look the
00:22:21.220 same,
00:22:21.480 right?
00:22:21.920 They all
00:22:22.280 look the
00:22:22.560 same,
00:22:22.860 exactly.
00:22:24.260 If you
00:22:25.560 look at
00:22:27.660 the map
00:22:29.260 of where
00:22:30.860 these 83
00:22:31.920 churches are
00:22:32.860 that have
00:22:33.240 been vandalized,
00:22:34.480 they're
00:22:36.540 spread all
00:22:38.060 over Canada.
00:22:38.780 urban areas
00:22:40.940 out east,
00:22:42.180 up north,
00:22:43.380 in places
00:22:44.660 in Ontario
00:22:45.460 that,
00:22:46.180 I mean,
00:22:46.700 there were
00:22:47.320 Native
00:22:47.480 populations
00:22:48.000 everywhere and
00:22:48.520 there's
00:22:48.720 reserves
00:22:49.080 everywhere.
00:22:49.780 I mean,
00:22:50.060 the whole
00:22:50.900 history of
00:22:52.260 the quote-unquote
00:22:55.380 native problem
00:22:56.320 has been
00:22:57.300 difficult from
00:22:58.080 the get-go
00:22:58.520 because the
00:22:59.780 solution of
00:23:00.620 the reserves
00:23:01.620 reserves and
00:23:02.360 then largely
00:23:04.220 the federal
00:23:04.720 government
00:23:05.340 just funding
00:23:07.640 the life
00:23:08.260 of Native
00:23:09.720 Canadians
00:23:10.280 has also
00:23:11.900 been disastrous
00:23:12.780 for them
00:23:13.260 because it
00:23:13.660 really,
00:23:14.520 it shows
00:23:15.780 you what
00:23:18.140 rampant
00:23:19.280 welfare will
00:23:20.020 do to a
00:23:20.900 people in
00:23:21.300 terms of
00:23:21.640 just destroying
00:23:22.500 them.
00:23:22.780 And it's
00:23:24.880 been tragic
00:23:25.540 because you
00:23:26.000 basically,
00:23:27.180 you take
00:23:28.640 away all
00:23:29.240 of the
00:23:29.540 initiative,
00:23:30.400 the self-drive,
00:23:33.020 whatever is
00:23:34.120 left culturally
00:23:35.160 of a people
00:23:35.740 to be
00:23:36.240 themselves,
00:23:36.860 become
00:23:37.200 themselves,
00:23:37.760 is just
00:23:39.320 gone.
00:23:41.920 And then
00:23:42.660 you deal
00:23:43.460 with the
00:23:43.860 corruption,
00:23:44.560 the grift,
00:23:45.140 and everything.
00:23:46.940 And it
00:23:47.700 has just
00:23:48.040 been a
00:23:48.320 festering
00:23:48.640 problem for
00:23:49.220 years and
00:23:49.880 years now.
00:23:50.440 There's land
00:23:50.960 disputes.
00:23:53.220 I mean,
00:23:54.160 yeah,
00:23:54.480 in southwestern
00:23:55.100 Ontario,
00:23:55.440 we've dealt
00:23:55.840 with it
00:23:56.160 numerous times
00:23:57.000 where they've
00:23:57.360 shut down
00:23:57.860 major highways,
00:23:59.480 blocked off
00:24:00.160 a whole
00:24:02.500 section of
00:24:03.160 southern Ontario,
00:24:03.980 just basically
00:24:04.540 set up
00:24:05.020 blockades and
00:24:05.800 just dared
00:24:06.240 the government
00:24:06.660 to come in
00:24:07.120 and take it
00:24:07.920 away from
00:24:08.320 them,
00:24:08.520 right?
00:24:09.040 These sorts
00:24:09.680 of things.
00:24:10.180 And then
00:24:10.440 up by
00:24:10.740 Ipperwash,
00:24:11.740 same sort
00:24:13.080 of deal
00:24:13.460 where they
00:24:13.780 just took
00:24:14.640 over
00:24:14.880 Provincial
00:24:15.320 Park and
00:24:15.840 just said,
00:24:16.420 this is
00:24:16.600 ours,
00:24:17.680 right?
00:24:18.040 And then
00:24:18.500 dared the
00:24:19.080 government to
00:24:19.520 come in and
00:24:19.860 take it away
00:24:20.280 from them,
00:24:20.740 right?
00:24:20.960 So these
00:24:21.880 standoffs have
00:24:23.020 been going
00:24:23.340 on for
00:24:23.720 quite some
00:24:24.200 time.
00:24:24.780 The Oka
00:24:25.360 crisis.
00:24:26.220 The Oka
00:24:26.620 crisis,
00:24:27.700 yeah.
00:24:29.900 And so,
00:24:30.940 but this
00:24:33.200 residential
00:24:33.960 school,
00:24:34.940 from a
00:24:35.280 propaganda
00:24:35.780 perspective,
00:24:36.660 gave the
00:24:38.020 liberal
00:24:38.580 government
00:24:39.060 and leftist
00:24:40.460 activists a
00:24:41.620 perfect
00:24:42.340 opportunity
00:24:43.140 to
00:24:43.820 shift the
00:24:45.220 blame from
00:24:46.100 where it
00:24:46.600 property
00:24:47.080 belongs,
00:24:47.940 which is,
00:24:48.760 you know,
00:24:49.320 half a
00:24:50.580 century of
00:24:51.860 government
00:24:52.580 mismanagement
00:24:53.420 and bad
00:24:54.080 ideas and
00:24:55.680 to just
00:24:56.360 kind of
00:24:56.820 wink and
00:24:57.440 nod and
00:24:58.140 say,
00:24:58.800 oh,
00:24:59.160 you know
00:24:59.380 what?
00:25:00.640 It was the
00:25:01.480 Christian's
00:25:01.940 fault.
00:25:02.940 And that
00:25:03.120 was really,
00:25:03.880 and that
00:25:04.180 was basically
00:25:04.920 like nobody
00:25:05.900 really said
00:25:07.340 it out loud
00:25:08.080 except Trudeau
00:25:08.780 kind of
00:25:09.360 did.
00:25:09.700 Well,
00:25:12.180 Gerald Butz
00:25:12.740 did his
00:25:13.100 big
00:25:13.320 advisor.
00:25:14.460 Yeah,
00:25:14.760 basically said,
00:25:15.820 and there
00:25:15.960 was a
00:25:16.160 couple of
00:25:16.440 people out
00:25:16.820 in BC
00:25:17.240 who ended
00:25:17.700 up resigning
00:25:18.460 activists
00:25:19.480 because they
00:25:20.060 tweeted out,
00:25:20.780 you know,
00:25:20.940 they have it
00:25:21.400 coming.
00:25:22.620 But it
00:25:23.840 wasn't just
00:25:24.540 like,
00:25:24.880 because it
00:25:25.320 isn't just
00:25:25.740 one church,
00:25:26.660 and as
00:25:27.040 Gio was
00:25:27.340 saying too,
00:25:27.860 because it's
00:25:28.560 a lot of
00:25:28.980 this is,
00:25:29.760 you know,
00:25:30.800 Antifa
00:25:31.700 thugs,
00:25:32.740 you know,
00:25:33.000 young left-wing
00:25:33.880 activists doing
00:25:36.380 a lot of
00:25:36.940 this.
00:25:37.600 It isn't
00:25:38.480 just,
00:25:39.060 anger being
00:25:40.420 borne out
00:25:41.080 of the
00:25:41.300 native
00:25:41.480 community
00:25:42.080 that is
00:25:43.000 sort of
00:25:43.380 like,
00:25:43.960 now they
00:25:44.480 can kind
00:25:44.800 of release
00:25:45.360 all these
00:25:45.800 feelings that
00:25:46.360 they've had
00:25:46.680 for years
00:25:47.120 and years.
00:25:47.880 A lot of
00:25:48.600 it is just
00:25:49.100 purely a
00:25:50.540 creation of
00:25:51.120 propaganda.
00:25:51.820 You have
00:25:52.080 left-wing
00:25:52.500 activists that
00:25:53.420 had an
00:25:53.780 issue now
00:25:54.320 and were
00:25:54.620 given
00:25:54.840 permission
00:25:55.380 to basically
00:25:56.780 go and
00:25:58.340 engage in
00:25:59.820 a pogrom
00:26:00.300 against
00:26:00.600 Christians in
00:26:01.260 Canada,
00:26:01.580 and the
00:26:02.480 prime minister
00:26:02.900 just basically
00:26:03.520 winked and
00:26:04.020 nodded and
00:26:04.500 did nothing.
00:26:05.160 Like,
00:26:05.280 I don't think
00:26:05.560 anybody's ever
00:26:06.160 been prosecuted
00:26:06.820 for it at
00:26:07.240 all.
00:26:07.700 Like,
00:26:07.860 I mean,
00:26:09.060 I may have
00:26:09.560 missed a
00:26:09.960 story,
00:26:10.460 but there's
00:26:11.460 none that
00:26:11.860 comes to
00:26:12.240 mind where
00:26:12.560 a single
00:26:12.840 person has
00:26:13.400 actually been
00:26:13.820 prosecuted for
00:26:14.560 the whole
00:26:14.860 thing.
00:26:15.540 Yeah,
00:26:15.700 I mean,
00:26:15.960 I hate to
00:26:16.740 be the
00:26:16.960 American that
00:26:17.560 just is like,
00:26:18.120 this is just
00:26:18.560 like America,
00:26:19.360 but I mean,
00:26:19.720 in this case,
00:26:20.360 I think it's
00:26:21.220 appropriate.
00:26:21.760 you know,
00:26:22.520 it's hard not
00:26:23.200 to pretend
00:26:23.600 like this
00:26:24.020 isn't,
00:26:24.440 again,
00:26:24.780 as kind
00:26:25.180 of Gio
00:26:25.480 pointed out,
00:26:26.240 a mirror
00:26:26.760 of the
00:26:27.240 BLM
00:26:27.700 situation
00:26:28.460 where you
00:26:29.280 had a
00:26:29.820 community,
00:26:30.820 whether people
00:26:31.300 felt they
00:26:32.100 had legitimate
00:26:33.600 grievances
00:26:34.200 or not,
00:26:35.460 whose,
00:26:35.980 you know,
00:26:36.420 attempts at
00:26:37.160 this thing,
00:26:37.640 you know,
00:26:37.860 which were
00:26:38.820 kind of
00:26:39.740 violent on
00:26:40.380 their end,
00:26:41.100 were only
00:26:41.460 magnified by
00:26:42.720 basically government
00:26:43.740 sponsored
00:26:44.640 activists who
00:26:45.600 went out of
00:26:46.040 the way to
00:26:46.960 turn a
00:26:47.760 particular
00:26:48.540 isolated
00:26:49.360 incident
00:26:50.000 into a
00:26:50.940 nationwide
00:26:51.640 violent
00:26:52.740 spree of
00:26:53.500 rioting
00:26:54.120 that was,
00:26:54.980 again,
00:26:55.280 100%
00:26:55.920 subsidized and
00:26:56.660 approved by
00:26:57.200 the government
00:26:57.600 itself.
00:26:58.600 And Canada,
00:26:59.320 you know,
00:26:59.560 in this scenario,
00:27:00.680 they're burning
00:27:01.000 down churches,
00:27:02.080 they're tearing
00:27:02.580 down statues.
00:27:04.320 You can see,
00:27:05.080 again,
00:27:05.300 it feels like
00:27:06.100 this is a
00:27:06.580 feature almost
00:27:07.800 of kind of
00:27:08.820 these,
00:27:09.380 you know,
00:27:10.400 global American
00:27:11.100 empire affiliated
00:27:12.400 countries to
00:27:14.660 have this
00:27:15.260 pattern emerge
00:27:16.680 of saying,
00:27:17.520 like you were
00:27:18.220 saying,
00:27:18.480 Joe,
00:27:18.740 we can do
00:27:19.340 this too.
00:27:19.980 We can
00:27:20.700 signal our
00:27:21.480 allegiance to
00:27:22.620 kind of the
00:27:23.200 home political
00:27:24.340 party by,
00:27:25.800 you know,
00:27:26.080 by having a
00:27:27.180 similar event
00:27:27.780 here and
00:27:28.600 showing our
00:27:29.100 battle against
00:27:29.660 oppression and
00:27:30.420 co-opting it in
00:27:31.080 the same way,
00:27:32.200 you know,
00:27:32.380 driving out
00:27:32.880 activists in
00:27:33.440 the same way,
00:27:34.480 having the
00:27:34.880 same wink
00:27:35.360 and nod
00:27:35.980 acceptance by
00:27:37.260 the government,
00:27:38.040 the lack of
00:27:38.720 any kind of
00:27:39.320 law enforcement,
00:27:40.340 the anarcho
00:27:40.880 tyranny,
00:27:41.720 just mirroring
00:27:42.960 kind of the
00:27:43.820 ruling formula
00:27:44.820 in a different
00:27:45.760 place with a
00:27:46.360 different issue.
00:27:47.200 It rhymes with
00:27:48.600 the same
00:27:49.500 kind of
00:27:50.060 events that
00:27:51.080 happened there.
00:27:52.060 100%.
00:27:52.580 I mean,
00:27:53.540 like, for
00:27:54.280 example,
00:27:54.820 I mean,
00:27:55.220 well,
00:27:55.900 the model is
00:27:56.840 like I've
00:27:57.140 always said,
00:27:57.660 the psychology
00:27:58.200 of it is very
00:27:58.700 interesting because,
00:27:59.520 you know,
00:28:00.640 libs in Canada
00:28:01.360 are kind of like
00:28:02.060 the bluest of
00:28:03.280 blue dog Democrats.
00:28:04.140 as much as they
00:28:06.480 hate America and
00:28:07.900 they hate the
00:28:08.680 sort of like,
00:28:10.100 I would say,
00:28:10.760 truncated old
00:28:11.820 version of like
00:28:12.880 John Stewart
00:28:13.920 Jesus land
00:28:14.740 version of
00:28:15.240 America that
00:28:16.000 probably doesn't
00:28:16.660 exist anymore.
00:28:17.940 Or maybe,
00:28:18.660 well,
00:28:18.900 under Trump,
00:28:19.560 it was sort of
00:28:20.060 revived to
00:28:20.620 them.
00:28:21.720 They really,
00:28:22.880 spiritually,
00:28:23.520 they sort of
00:28:24.180 have the same
00:28:24.660 model.
00:28:25.120 I mean,
00:28:25.980 let's remember
00:28:26.580 that there was
00:28:27.080 a period during
00:28:28.820 2020 where
00:28:30.420 they're like,
00:28:30.780 well,
00:28:30.980 we don't have
00:28:31.800 any Confederate
00:28:32.380 general statues
00:28:33.460 to get rid of.
00:28:34.500 Who are we
00:28:34.700 going to get
00:28:34.960 rid of?
00:28:35.300 Oh,
00:28:35.480 Johnny MacDonald.
00:28:36.860 And let's face
00:28:37.500 it,
00:28:37.640 yes,
00:28:37.860 of course,
00:28:38.240 Johnny MacDonald
00:28:38.840 had a,
00:28:39.340 you know,
00:28:40.700 a problematic
00:28:41.260 relationship to
00:28:42.180 the indigenous
00:28:42.620 people.
00:28:43.320 But I mean,
00:28:43.960 it's basically
00:28:44.500 the equivalent
00:28:45.020 of like,
00:28:45.680 well,
00:28:45.860 in America,
00:28:46.400 let's get rid
00:28:47.820 of George
00:28:48.220 Washington's
00:28:49.020 statue.
00:28:49.520 That's like,
00:28:50.040 you know,
00:28:51.080 in terms of
00:28:51.580 founding of
00:28:52.320 modern Canada.
00:28:53.500 Did they get
00:28:54.280 rid of George
00:28:55.340 Washington's
00:28:55.940 statues?
00:28:56.820 They were
00:28:57.340 pulling down
00:28:57.960 Abraham Lincoln's
00:28:58.860 statues.
00:28:59.380 They were pulling
00:28:59.780 down Teddy
00:29:00.300 Roosevelt's
00:29:00.900 statues.
00:29:02.020 Oh,
00:29:02.300 yeah.
00:29:03.460 Washington.
00:29:04.320 Oh,
00:29:04.340 my God.
00:29:05.020 Nobody was
00:29:05.640 safe.
00:29:06.240 They did.
00:29:06.600 No.
00:29:07.000 Well,
00:29:07.520 and they
00:29:07.640 were,
00:29:08.200 I think
00:29:08.900 they were
00:29:09.060 pulling down,
00:29:09.780 you know,
00:29:10.240 statues of
00:29:11.720 the queen
00:29:12.060 and stuff
00:29:12.540 in Canada,
00:29:14.320 right?
00:29:14.660 Oh,
00:29:14.840 yes.
00:29:15.480 Yeah.
00:29:16.400 Yeah.
00:29:16.600 Nothing different
00:29:17.400 there,
00:29:17.660 I feel.
00:29:18.500 We hope you're
00:29:19.180 enjoying your
00:29:19.620 Air Canada
00:29:20.140 flight.

00:29:32.400 land.
00:29:33.180 And with
00:29:33.560 live TV,
00:29:34.500 I'm not
00:29:34.940 missing the
00:29:35.480 game.
00:29:36.240 It's kind
00:29:36.640 of like I'm
00:29:37.500 already on
00:29:38.140 vacation.
00:29:39.420 Nice.
00:29:40.540 On behalf of
00:29:41.400 Air Canada,
00:29:42.220 nice travels.
00:29:43.680 Wi-Fi available to
00:29:44.540 airplane members on
00:29:45.260 Equip Flight.
00:29:45.780 Sponsored by Bell.
00:29:46.440 Conditions apply.
00:29:47.020 The one
00:29:49.320 difference between
00:29:50.320 the Canadian
00:29:51.320 situation and
00:29:53.900 the U.S.
00:29:54.280 situation has
00:29:55.320 been the
00:29:57.060 direct
00:29:58.360 scapegoating of
00:29:59.580 the Christian
00:30:00.000 community for
00:30:01.260 this, right?
00:30:01.880 And that's the
00:30:02.460 marker.
00:30:03.200 So, like, over
00:30:03.940 the last summer,
00:30:04.900 you know, we all
00:30:05.500 made fun of
00:30:06.060 James Lindsay for
00:30:07.200 his, you know,
00:30:09.160 his knock on
00:30:10.560 Christian
00:30:12.640 nationalists.
00:30:13.360 And so, how
00:30:13.780 this was going
00:30:14.340 to bring the
00:30:14.780 state down.
00:30:15.260 It was going to
00:30:15.400 bring the summer
00:30:16.580 apocalypse that was
00:30:17.600 going to do in
00:30:18.160 America.
00:30:19.260 So, and I mean,
00:30:20.060 we all kind of
00:30:20.800 mocked him for it
00:30:21.760 because, you know,
00:30:22.640 it was kind of
00:30:23.480 ridiculous.
00:30:24.060 But yet, at the
00:30:24.480 same time, those
00:30:25.420 of us who live in
00:30:26.040 Canada were going
00:30:26.800 like, well, okay,
00:30:29.240 James Lindsay is
00:30:29.920 kind of a ridiculous
00:30:30.600 figure and this is
00:30:31.480 sort of like the
00:30:32.100 summer of the
00:30:32.480 apocalypse is probably
00:30:33.320 a little bit
00:30:33.700 thing.
00:30:33.940 But, you know,
00:30:34.620 let me talk to
00:30:35.240 you about these
00:30:35.700 church burnings that
00:30:36.400 we got going up
00:30:37.140 here.
00:30:38.320 And so, you
00:30:39.720 know, we often
00:30:40.840 talk about, so
00:30:41.780 how is the
00:30:42.540 West and
00:30:42.960 everything going
00:30:43.380 to end and
00:30:44.000 what's going to
00:30:44.560 happen and what's
00:30:45.180 it going to be
00:30:45.620 like, right?
00:30:46.540 And one of the
00:30:47.340 things you can
00:30:47.840 see that if the
00:30:49.420 regime becomes
00:30:50.360 stressed, you
00:30:51.460 know, it's
00:30:51.880 amazing how
00:30:52.780 Canada has
00:30:53.780 become a test
00:30:54.660 case for like,
00:30:55.900 you know, like
00:30:56.360 with the trucker
00:30:57.020 dispute, how do
00:30:58.180 you deal with
00:30:59.140 like large scale,
00:31:00.320 like really
00:31:00.980 serious,
00:31:01.980 threatening, you
00:31:04.460 know, revolts,
00:31:05.580 protests that you
00:31:06.740 can't manage or
00:31:07.580 handle?
00:31:08.040 Well, they showed
00:31:09.080 the model.
00:31:09.620 You start freezing
00:31:10.220 their bank accounts
00:31:11.180 and you take care
00:31:12.180 like, you know,
00:31:12.600 you may be at
00:31:13.680 the procrest, but
00:31:14.500 when your wife
00:31:15.040 goes to go
00:31:15.560 grocery shopping
00:31:16.580 and finds out
00:31:17.220 that the whole
00:31:17.660 business accounts
00:31:18.440 are shut down,
00:31:19.100 boy, that
00:31:19.400 protest, you
00:31:19.960 know, you
00:31:20.460 better just
00:31:20.800 come on home
00:31:21.440 here and
00:31:21.860 just, you
00:31:22.780 know, that
00:31:23.480 type of thing.
00:31:24.560 And in this
00:31:24.960 way, I get
00:31:26.580 the sense that
00:31:27.260 in some ways
00:31:28.200 the Canadian
00:31:28.900 government is
00:31:29.840 also showing the
00:31:31.000 way that as,
00:31:31.840 you know, when
00:31:32.060 push comes to
00:31:32.920 shove and you
00:31:35.280 get criticism.
00:31:36.040 Now, because of
00:31:37.220 the direct
00:31:37.740 involvement of the
00:31:38.540 churches in the
00:31:39.120 residential school,
00:31:40.180 they made for
00:31:41.240 an easy
00:31:41.660 scapegoat and
00:31:42.480 it made a very
00:31:43.640 convenient way
00:31:44.680 for them to
00:31:46.140 deflect attention
00:31:50.080 away from the
00:31:52.420 government,
00:31:53.420 predominantly
00:31:53.940 liberal in
00:31:54.640 Canada.
00:31:55.020 Over the years,
00:31:55.960 you know, Canada's
00:31:56.680 governments have
00:31:57.240 been like three
00:31:58.320 to one liberal
00:31:59.060 to conservative.
00:32:00.100 They call it the
00:32:00.540 natural governing
00:32:01.200 party here.
00:32:01.980 That's exactly
00:32:02.580 it, right?
00:32:03.040 And so, most of
00:32:07.920 these situations
00:32:09.540 have been presided
00:32:10.240 over by liberals
00:32:10.980 over the long
00:32:11.900 term.
00:32:12.960 And so, rather
00:32:14.260 than deal with
00:32:15.560 how their own
00:32:16.960 policies over the
00:32:18.060 years have failed
00:32:18.820 right from the
00:32:19.360 very beginning,
00:32:20.080 from the misguided
00:32:21.580 notion of
00:32:22.480 progressivism as it
00:32:23.760 worked itself out
00:32:24.660 and how we're
00:32:25.040 going to, you
00:32:25.660 know, bring these
00:32:26.620 kids along and
00:32:27.480 give them a better
00:32:28.060 life and all this
00:32:28.800 kind of nonsense,
00:32:30.100 anglicize them in
00:32:31.100 the whole bit,
00:32:31.660 right up to
00:32:33.760 sort of the
00:32:34.260 current conditions
00:32:35.160 and they can
00:32:36.500 just sort of
00:32:36.980 whitewash all of
00:32:37.840 that.
00:32:37.980 It just kind of
00:32:38.460 memory holds the
00:32:39.460 whole thing because
00:32:40.320 who's to blame?
00:32:41.920 Well, it's the
00:32:42.980 schools and the
00:32:44.220 churches that ran
00:32:45.060 them.
00:32:45.440 They're the bad
00:32:46.220 guys.
00:32:46.980 And so, now you
00:32:47.920 can create a
00:32:48.520 scapegoat, you
00:32:49.300 can dump problems
00:32:50.120 off onto them,
00:32:51.200 and nobody is
00:32:52.520 paying attention to
00:32:53.340 the real villain,
00:32:54.620 which is, you
00:32:56.060 know, the liberal
00:32:56.460 administrative state
00:32:57.280 and their terrible
00:32:58.980 policies.
00:32:59.880 And so, you can
00:33:00.460 see this as a
00:33:01.460 kind of template.
00:33:02.320 Now, they may
00:33:02.680 not be able to
00:33:03.060 get away with
00:33:03.540 it in every
00:33:03.960 situation, but
00:33:05.860 you can definitely
00:33:06.860 see a kind of
00:33:08.400 template at work
00:33:09.300 and you can sort
00:33:10.560 of see, too,
00:33:11.180 like even in the
00:33:11.740 U.S., from a
00:33:13.240 progressive messaging
00:33:14.140 system, in this
00:33:14.900 sense, there is a
00:33:15.540 certain correctness
00:33:16.820 to what James
00:33:17.360 Lindsay is saying,
00:33:18.180 is that progressivism
00:33:19.580 is built on the
00:33:21.120 idea of always
00:33:22.040 moving forward.
00:33:23.100 So, if, let's
00:33:24.140 say, the natural
00:33:25.360 state of things is
00:33:26.580 that you reach a
00:33:27.480 limit where your
00:33:28.140 inputs no longer
00:33:29.220 are generating the
00:33:29.960 outputs and you're
00:33:30.640 no longer moving
00:33:31.540 forward and you
00:33:32.980 need to blame
00:33:33.780 somebody, well, who
00:33:35.020 are those that
00:33:35.700 oppose progress?
00:33:37.920 Well, it is those
00:33:38.720 backwards Christians.
00:33:40.500 Now, have they not
00:33:41.400 done anything
00:33:41.920 specific?
00:33:42.620 Now, in this case,
00:33:43.380 you had a very
00:33:43.800 specific target.
00:33:44.860 They ran the
00:33:45.440 schools, you can
00:33:46.560 target them, and
00:33:47.700 it's very focused,
00:33:48.920 but you can also
00:33:50.160 see it happening in a
00:33:51.380 similar sense that if
00:33:52.440 the state gets more
00:33:53.740 and more pressed,
00:33:55.000 that you now have
00:33:55.840 this model of, you
00:33:57.720 can say, well, you
00:33:59.280 know, we haven't
00:34:00.640 been able to realize
00:34:01.540 progress because these
00:34:03.720 backwards Christians
00:34:04.580 have been holding us
00:34:05.480 back.
00:34:05.840 And if we could just
00:34:06.440 do something about
00:34:07.280 these backward
00:34:07.840 Christians, then we'll
00:34:10.320 be able to move
00:34:11.160 forward with progress.
00:34:12.400 And, like, that's
00:34:13.360 the template there.
00:34:14.120 And that's really, the
00:34:15.200 Canadian government
00:34:15.760 didn't quite go out to
00:34:16.860 say it so much, but it
00:34:18.360 was a sense of, like,
00:34:19.200 well, this may have
00:34:21.220 worked had it not
00:34:22.700 been for the
00:34:24.360 churches that ran
00:34:25.140 it, because they
00:34:26.080 were all basically
00:34:26.920 child molesters and
00:34:28.000 horrible people.
00:34:28.680 And then you have it
00:34:29.320 set up from, you
00:34:30.200 know, the church
00:34:31.000 scandals in the
00:34:31.640 Catholic Church sort
00:34:32.520 of, you know, helped
00:34:33.240 lay the groundwork
00:34:34.040 for it.
00:34:34.360 So, like, oh, it's
00:34:35.180 infinitely believable
00:34:36.140 now that, well, all
00:34:37.140 these Christians are
00:34:37.840 just basically pederasts
00:34:39.080 and child molesters, and
00:34:40.400 they're all horrible
00:34:41.720 monsters.
00:34:42.960 And, you know, you
00:34:43.740 get these people
00:34:44.240 standing up and
00:34:44.840 going, like, wait a
00:34:45.920 minute, you know, the
00:34:47.100 schools may not have
00:34:47.980 been sunshine and
00:34:48.660 flowers, but they
00:34:50.320 aren't what you're
00:34:50.900 telling us they are.
00:34:51.680 And then, meanwhile,
00:34:52.220 the churches are
00:34:52.760 burning because, you
00:34:53.340 know, white Antifa
00:34:53.960 thugs are setting fire
00:34:54.900 to them in the
00:34:55.340 middle of the night,
00:34:55.880 and the prime
00:34:57.580 minister is saying,
00:34:58.240 well, it's
00:34:58.560 understandable that
00:34:59.520 there's, you know,
00:35:00.240 that these things are
00:35:01.200 happening.
00:35:01.660 And they're like, oh,
00:35:02.160 really?
00:35:02.460 It's understandable
00:35:03.120 that they're
00:35:03.580 happening, right?
00:35:04.600 And so this is, you
00:35:05.720 can see a kind of
00:35:06.740 template being generated
00:35:08.140 for the future.
00:35:09.460 So let me ask the
00:35:10.440 obvious question here,
00:35:11.860 and to be fair,
00:35:13.120 understand this is
00:35:13.860 coming from a guy
00:35:14.540 who just watched his
00:35:15.500 entire country
00:35:16.660 knuckle under after
00:35:17.900 talking about their
00:35:19.340 ability to resist
00:35:20.400 government,
00:35:20.720 tyranny for years
00:35:21.800 here recently.
00:35:22.620 So I'm not, I'm not
00:35:23.460 throwing any shade on
00:35:24.400 you guys, but like
00:35:25.460 what's up with
00:35:26.860 Christians in Canada?
00:35:27.860 Did, did everyone
00:35:28.800 just stand by quietly
00:35:30.600 and watch their
00:35:31.380 churches burn?
00:35:33.020 Was there no
00:35:33.720 popular resistance to
00:35:34.900 the, what's the
00:35:36.740 state of the church
00:35:37.480 in Canada?
00:35:38.220 What's the state of,
00:35:39.260 of, is there any
00:35:40.240 resilience?
00:35:40.880 Is there any
00:35:41.380 resistance?
00:35:42.060 You have to understand
00:35:44.080 though, too, Orrin,
00:35:44.740 that, that of the
00:35:46.300 population who
00:35:47.140 identifies as
00:35:48.280 Christian, I think,
00:35:49.320 what is it, maybe
00:35:49.920 30% of the population
00:35:51.280 identifies as
00:35:52.300 Christian, and maybe
00:35:54.120 if you're lucky,
00:35:54.980 5 to 7% are active
00:35:58.060 churchgoers, whereas
00:35:58.980 in the U.S., it's
00:35:59.940 like, what, 80% of
00:36:01.180 the people identify
00:36:02.220 themselves as
00:36:02.960 Christian, and
00:36:04.040 something like 35 to
00:36:05.420 40% go to church
00:36:06.920 twice a month at
00:36:07.660 least, right?
00:36:08.720 Kind of thing.
00:36:09.300 And so, in
00:36:11.220 Canada, Christians
00:36:12.260 represent a
00:36:13.240 significant minority,
00:36:14.680 and so even if we
00:36:16.220 were to get up in
00:36:16.940 arms, you know,
00:36:19.240 the majority of the
00:36:20.900 population is really,
00:36:22.720 they're not on your
00:36:23.780 side, so to speak.
00:36:25.420 And the minority
00:36:25.980 status, I'm guessing
00:36:27.620 not granting you any
00:36:28.700 kind of privilege
00:36:29.400 there.
00:36:30.020 No, God, no.
00:36:30.700 Not really, no.
00:36:32.020 Because being
00:36:32.580 religious is coded
00:36:33.500 as being American,
00:36:34.620 being like a Trump
00:36:35.920 supporter or whatever,
00:36:36.940 so to like a lot of
00:36:38.080 the urban, like,
00:36:39.580 libs that live in
00:36:40.320 Canada, like, that's
00:36:41.200 basically anathema.
00:36:43.200 Even, like, the
00:36:44.020 United Church, which
00:36:44.880 is basically the
00:36:46.280 United Social Club
00:36:47.540 of Canada, where
00:36:48.280 they have, like, you
00:36:50.540 know, impossible
00:36:51.200 women bikers and
00:36:53.440 people, like, they
00:36:54.180 have people like, who
00:36:55.360 was that one guy that
00:36:56.260 wrote that book about
00:36:57.300 it?
00:36:58.040 Tom Harpu.
00:36:59.080 Oh, yeah.
00:36:59.620 He's like, I'm a
00:37:00.820 bishop, but I don't
00:37:02.220 believe in God.
00:37:03.080 I don't believe in
00:37:03.700 Christ, but I'm a
00:37:04.980 bishop still.
00:37:06.120 It's like that
00:37:06.660 religiosity in
00:37:08.520 Canada, in some
00:37:09.420 ways, has followed
00:37:09.880 the trends of
00:37:10.420 European countries
00:37:11.580 as opposed to
00:37:12.000 America.
00:37:12.620 So you could say
00:37:13.560 in some ways that
00:37:15.880 the liberals will
00:37:16.900 eventually take your
00:37:17.760 children and put
00:37:18.620 them into schools to
00:37:19.640 re-educate them and
00:37:20.920 drive, like, the
00:37:22.260 liberal tradition of
00:37:23.780 eliminating a
00:37:25.160 minority.
00:37:26.000 Yes, I was, yeah,
00:37:27.020 that's the joke.
00:37:27.700 Yeah, they're called
00:37:27.960 public school.
00:37:29.240 But they do,
00:37:30.300 though.
00:37:30.840 And by the way,
00:37:31.580 by the way, as a
00:37:32.240 product of the
00:37:32.760 Catholic school system,
00:37:34.040 the separate, because of
00:37:35.020 the issue with
00:37:35.940 Quebec, which, I
00:37:37.420 mean, wholesale
00:37:38.380 dumped the
00:37:39.060 Catholicism in the
00:37:39.880 60s because of the
00:37:40.880 silent revolution.
00:37:42.040 That's another issue
00:37:42.880 for another time.
00:37:44.580 As a product of the
00:37:45.640 Catholic school system
00:37:46.680 in Canada, I think
00:37:48.380 they should just get
00:37:49.060 rid of it.
00:37:49.480 It's really not
00:37:50.340 really Catholic
00:37:51.560 besides going to a
00:37:52.340 few services a few
00:37:53.540 times a year and
00:37:54.420 having an extra
00:37:55.240 religious class in
00:37:56.100 uniforms, and that's
00:37:57.200 pretty much it.
00:37:58.320 So, you know, they
00:37:59.360 have to raise the
00:38:00.680 imperial flag of the
00:38:01.800 empire every June.
00:38:03.520 And the separate
00:38:04.940 Catholic school system
00:38:05.840 has to still raise
00:38:06.580 the flag, right, of
00:38:07.540 the empire.
00:38:08.780 So, yeah.
00:38:09.780 The jig is up when
00:38:10.320 you've got, like, what
00:38:11.180 are the population, 10
00:38:12.220 to 15% sometimes of
00:38:13.720 schools are Muslims, you
00:38:15.780 know, and you're
00:38:16.080 realizing, like, how
00:38:16.820 Catholic are your
00:38:17.500 Catholic schools?
00:38:18.180 Well, Muslim parents,
00:38:19.840 they send them to
00:38:20.440 Catholic schools because
00:38:21.300 of the uniforms and
00:38:22.260 because of the
00:38:22.800 extra religious classes,
00:38:23.880 which is understandable.
00:38:25.600 But, and also
00:38:27.120 another point of
00:38:27.980 clarification, people
00:38:29.180 were pointing on the
00:38:29.760 chat, is that there
00:38:30.860 are quite a few
00:38:31.800 reservations in Canada
00:38:33.180 that are very quite
00:38:34.340 functional and they've
00:38:35.240 had, they managed to
00:38:36.180 create industries both
00:38:37.420 through resource
00:38:39.080 extraction, timber, but
00:38:40.500 also tourist industries
00:38:41.880 and other various
00:38:43.340 goods that, well, I
00:38:45.540 know the one in
00:38:46.140 Caledonia here in
00:38:47.060 Ontario, they have
00:38:48.680 quite a good cigarette
00:38:50.160 business, but because
00:38:51.520 of the punishing
00:38:52.260 taxes on cigarettes and
00:38:55.140 all tobacco products
00:38:56.240 here in Canada.
00:38:57.120 But there are quite a
00:38:58.160 few reservations that
00:38:58.880 have managed to
00:38:59.560 become modernized and
00:39:00.960 have industries from,
00:39:02.360 you know, various
00:39:03.820 industries, but
00:39:04.960 unfortunately it's the
00:39:06.560 rural reservations,
00:39:08.380 especially out in
00:39:09.080 places like Winnipeg
00:39:10.140 that have essentially
00:39:12.340 third world conditions.
00:39:13.800 So yeah, go ahead.
00:39:14.460 Like North Ontario.
00:39:16.320 Oh, and Northern
00:39:16.800 Ontario as well.
00:39:17.740 Yeah, like places like
00:39:18.800 Thompson, Manitoba and
00:39:19.880 so forth, right?
00:39:20.520 Like you get up north
00:39:21.500 there where, you know,
00:39:23.660 your nearest major
00:39:24.800 community is six to
00:39:26.440 eight hours away.
00:39:27.500 Um, some of these
00:39:29.440 places are like, they
00:39:31.720 literally have police
00:39:32.960 organized, um, like
00:39:35.420 they're, they're dry
00:39:36.260 towns and they enforce
00:39:37.360 them to be dry because
00:39:38.240 if you get any alcohol
00:39:39.280 in the town, if they
00:39:40.620 hear of it, like they
00:39:41.360 will break into your,
00:39:42.420 into your houses and so
00:39:43.580 forth.
00:39:43.780 So they're, they're
00:39:44.880 quite, quite problematic.
00:39:46.720 Um, but you're right,
00:39:47.820 Gio, there, there are
00:39:48.540 some places that are, are
00:39:49.900 high functioning and, um,
00:39:52.100 and produce, you
00:39:53.940 know, uh, very high
00:39:55.420 level, um, Canadians
00:39:57.660 that, you know, integrate
00:39:58.720 well into the power
00:39:59.600 structures and so forth.
00:40:00.660 But there are some also
00:40:01.760 that are profoundly
00:40:03.020 dysfunctional as well
00:40:04.040 too.
00:40:04.940 Well, it's very funny how
00:40:05.900 there's the protests
00:40:07.100 against the oil industry.
00:40:09.040 Uh, there's a lot of
00:40:10.360 just people that are
00:40:11.440 like, well, if you get
00:40:12.160 rid of, uh, the oil
00:40:13.540 industry for the
00:40:14.160 environment and you have
00:40:15.340 people like David
00:40:16.020 Suzuki and Margaret
00:40:17.480 Atwood protesting and
00:40:19.160 American celebrities to
00:40:20.600 like ZB listeners,
00:40:22.100 celebrities like that
00:40:23.080 Rufo guy.
00:40:24.560 Well, no, sorry, not
00:40:25.480 Rufo Ruffalo, you know
00:40:26.780 that Mark Ruffalo,
00:40:28.040 Mark Ruffalo.
00:40:29.040 Yeah.
00:40:29.720 People there are
00:40:30.480 indigenous people are
00:40:31.180 like, if you get rid of
00:40:31.920 these oil rigs, you get
00:40:32.980 rid of our jobs.
00:40:33.900 So it's, uh, it's
00:40:35.460 ridiculous.
00:40:36.060 Of course, America has
00:40:37.380 this activist pipeline
00:40:38.660 and so forth.
00:40:40.080 We, we, we, we do have
00:40:41.060 to conquer the world with
00:40:41.980 our liberal activists.
00:40:42.780 It's the only thing it's
00:40:43.700 our, it's our, our, uh,
00:40:45.020 saddest, but most
00:40:45.800 powerful export.
00:40:47.020 So, uh, so let me ask
00:40:49.140 you guys now we kind of
00:40:51.180 know, right there, there's
00:40:52.540 been a lot of
00:40:53.040 excavation, there's been
00:40:54.480 more searching and
00:40:56.400 after years, there's
00:40:57.840 been no, uh, as I
00:40:59.520 understand, they've
00:41:00.100 produced like no bodies.
00:41:01.200 There's been no mass
00:41:02.160 graves.
00:41:02.540 There's been a
00:41:02.980 realization that pretty
00:41:04.720 much all of this was
00:41:05.720 false, that the, the,
00:41:06.980 the, the story was
00:41:08.020 entirely manufactured and
00:41:09.880 promoted by activists
00:41:11.180 in the media and even
00:41:12.300 the government, uh, who
00:41:13.920 encouraged all this, all
00:41:15.160 these travesties and, but
00:41:16.720 there, but there's no,
00:41:17.580 they're there.
00:41:18.220 And in the wake of all
00:41:20.140 of this censorship, people
00:41:21.260 fired churches, destroyed
00:41:23.220 communities, torn apart,
00:41:24.700 like all of this stuff.
00:41:27.300 Has there been any
00:41:28.400 acknowledgement by the
00:41:29.420 government?
00:41:29.800 Has there been any
00:41:30.660 acknowledgement of the
00:41:31.200 people?
00:41:31.520 Are you even allowed to
00:41:32.340 talk about the fact that
00:41:33.260 this is basically fake and
00:41:34.720 that this was a huge
00:41:35.860 scandal that was
00:41:36.500 perpetrated on people in
00:41:37.620 Canadian media at this
00:41:38.640 point?
00:41:39.940 Well, what's interesting
00:41:40.940 is that more American
00:41:42.380 media has been open
00:41:44.020 about it, but the only
00:41:45.640 like really exceptions are
00:41:46.920 sort of like the
00:41:48.220 stalwart conservative
00:41:49.200 papers, like the
00:41:50.000 national post that have
00:41:51.660 been in, you know,
00:41:52.480 various people like a
00:41:53.740 rebel media, although
00:41:55.260 let's face real media,
00:41:56.260 they're an activist, you
00:41:57.260 know, they're like
00:41:57.820 normie con activists.
00:41:59.800 They're not really like a
00:42:00.820 credible news source,
00:42:01.860 blah, blah, blah.
00:42:02.480 They're like a project
00:42:03.500 Veritas type.
00:42:04.720 Yeah.
00:42:05.260 Yeah.
00:42:05.560 Ezra Levant.
00:42:06.420 I mean, I don't want to
00:42:07.800 speak ill of anybody, but
00:42:09.380 I have my own issues with
00:42:11.200 Ezra Levant, but you
00:42:12.540 know, yeah, there's been
00:42:13.460 people like that haven't
00:42:14.320 talked about it, but I, in
00:42:16.460 terms of the
00:42:17.020 acceptability of it, I
00:42:18.160 mean, not to say that
00:42:19.340 this would ever pass, I
00:42:20.380 mean, you never know, but
00:42:21.180 there has been, you
00:42:22.720 know, in, in Canada, I
00:42:24.560 guess in America, you
00:42:25.640 also have, um, this
00:42:27.540 culture with like, well,
00:42:29.160 you don't call it
00:42:29.820 backbenchers here in
00:42:30.780 Canada, they call minor
00:42:32.100 MPs, uh, backbenchers.
00:42:34.340 There are certain like
00:42:35.440 activist people, like
00:42:36.320 there's this one lady in
00:42:37.420 the NDP, for those who
00:42:38.980 don't know the NDP, the
00:42:40.200 national, the new
00:42:41.200 Democrat party, they're
00:42:42.560 like, um, well, they're
00:42:44.500 in a bit of an identity
00:42:45.260 crisis now because, you
00:42:46.580 know, because Trudeau is
00:42:48.000 outliving them, they're
00:42:49.600 sort of like the, there
00:42:50.700 used to be the left
00:42:51.560 labor party, but now
00:42:52.760 they're sort of like the
00:42:54.040 more woker than Trudeau
00:42:55.440 party.
00:42:56.000 One of them proposed a
00:42:57.620 bill against quote
00:42:59.000 unquote residential
00:43:00.220 school denialism in the
00:43:02.600 name of quote unquote
00:43:04.060 curbing disinformation,
00:43:05.420 right?
00:43:06.380 Now, the, you know, the
00:43:08.640 problem with that is that
00:43:09.760 nobody who has been
00:43:12.140 critical of this is
00:43:13.640 denying the reality of
00:43:15.680 the residential school
00:43:16.700 program, but also the
00:43:17.700 abuses in the residential
00:43:18.900 school program that did
00:43:20.420 exist.
00:43:21.000 It's just the context of a
00:43:22.800 lot of these quote unquote
00:43:23.740 mass graves were, for
00:43:25.360 example, graves of
00:43:27.040 children that did have a
00:43:28.920 lot of them did have
00:43:29.900 markers, but because they
00:43:31.860 were poor, the church
00:43:33.280 didn't have a lot of
00:43:33.820 resources, they were
00:43:34.640 wooden markers and they
00:43:36.640 weren't maintained by the
00:43:37.680 communities that were
00:43:38.400 there.
00:43:39.740 You have cases where
00:43:41.060 bodies were wrapped in
00:43:42.780 coffins were separated.
00:43:44.660 So even the language
00:43:46.100 itself of quote unquote
00:43:47.200 mass grave as putting a
00:43:50.520 large volume of children
00:43:51.920 in a single location, it's
00:43:54.300 you know, like I've said,
00:43:55.280 people have the image of
00:43:56.200 bodies being bulldozed
00:43:58.160 into pits and so forth.
00:43:59.900 These were, they were
00:44:01.420 grave markers that were
00:44:03.160 differentiated, that were
00:44:04.820 given burial rates and
00:44:06.060 that in a lot of cases did
00:44:07.620 have paperwork attached
00:44:09.220 to them.
00:44:10.060 It's just that they fell
00:44:11.120 into disrepute.
00:44:12.920 A lot of the reservations
00:44:14.160 didn't have funding
00:44:15.200 because, and again, this
00:44:17.120 is where I am critical of
00:44:18.940 the whole program of the
00:44:20.020 residential school system
00:44:21.040 of taking children and
00:44:22.500 placing them in different
00:44:23.860 locations throughout the
00:44:24.860 country than where they
00:44:26.100 were born in the
00:44:27.380 reservations.
00:44:28.160 A lot of the children
00:44:30.300 that belong to certain
00:44:31.680 reservations, these
00:44:33.400 reservations did not have
00:44:34.800 the funding to go to
00:44:36.460 these different places in
00:44:37.560 Canada and have upkeep
00:44:39.000 when it comes to these
00:44:39.800 graves, right?
00:44:40.840 And we could also say the
00:44:41.760 child mortality rates
00:44:42.820 disproportionately affected
00:44:44.660 indigenous children as
00:44:46.060 well.
00:44:47.020 So, but the problem is the
00:44:48.500 rhetoric of calling it
00:44:49.500 denialism is a very
00:44:52.020 classic leftist tactic.
00:44:53.500 It's loaded with very
00:44:54.760 specific language and
00:44:56.060 imagery and it, and in
00:44:57.640 an international, it has
00:44:58.620 nothing to do.
00:44:59.300 It's not connected to the
00:45:01.240 event itself or to the
00:45:02.640 culture itself or to the
00:45:04.000 place in which it's being
00:45:04.840 used.
00:45:05.280 It's literally just being
00:45:06.520 borrowed from a global
00:45:07.920 narrative and being applied
00:45:09.500 there so that it invokes
00:45:10.960 certain types of censorship,
00:45:13.380 certain kind of faux pas.
00:45:15.060 Yeah.
00:45:15.520 Basically you're, you're
00:45:16.600 repeating World War II all
00:45:18.000 over again, right?
00:45:18.920 You know, and, but the
00:45:20.380 thing also too, like you're
00:45:21.880 noting too, with the lack
00:45:22.740 of funds to go and visit
00:45:24.800 and maintain these grave
00:45:26.540 sites is part of the
00:45:28.460 problem was, is that the
00:45:29.760 government denied the
00:45:31.580 funds in the first place
00:45:32.660 for proper burials
00:45:33.560 oftentimes.
00:45:34.420 Oh, I didn't know this.
00:45:35.640 I didn't know this.
00:45:36.240 So there was, you know,
00:45:39.060 that was one of the
00:45:39.840 problems.
00:45:40.360 They not only didn't get
00:45:41.860 proper medical care, but
00:45:43.020 when, you know, when the
00:45:44.260 times for burials came, the
00:45:45.920 money was not there to, you
00:45:47.940 know, say, send the
00:45:48.820 bodies back to families
00:45:50.060 and all these types of
00:45:51.080 things.
00:45:51.520 So, so some of these
00:45:52.660 priests just, they would
00:45:53.600 say like, listen, you
00:45:54.520 know, we wept for these
00:45:55.860 kids.
00:45:56.340 We did the best we could,
00:45:58.040 you know, and like, these
00:46:00.000 are like the good, the
00:46:01.040 positive stories, right?
00:46:02.380 We did the best we could,
00:46:04.060 but, you know, we could
00:46:05.740 only do so much.
00:46:07.000 Right.
00:46:07.340 And so the, again, the,
00:46:09.120 the government wants to,
00:46:10.920 to really avoid having to
00:46:13.240 face over and over again
00:46:15.220 that, you know, they were
00:46:16.940 the ones who dropped
00:46:17.940 the ball that they denied
00:46:19.220 the proper funding, they
00:46:20.160 denied proper oversight.
00:46:21.740 They just basically fobbed
00:46:23.180 this off on the churches.
00:46:24.620 And then, you know, when
00:46:26.620 the, when the native
00:46:27.600 communities tried to, to,
00:46:29.920 to deal with it, just
00:46:32.120 dragged their feet in that
00:46:33.640 end as well, too, in the
00:46:34.540 after.
00:46:34.840 And so this thing has come
00:46:36.060 up.
00:46:36.280 So it's, it's again, you
00:46:37.800 know, to borrow Trudeau's
00:46:38.980 language, it's not
00:46:39.900 surprising that many of
00:46:42.100 these native communities are
00:46:43.280 just really, really upset
00:46:44.640 about this whole thing and
00:46:45.780 are willing to go kind of
00:46:47.020 scorched earth.
00:46:47.800 And even to the point of
00:46:49.360 just making stuff up, you
00:46:52.480 know, or being willing to
00:46:53.540 believe that there's
00:46:54.480 quote unquote mass graves
00:46:56.020 with all that that implies
00:46:57.440 because for them as a
00:46:59.840 community, that's their felt
00:47:02.180 reality over the years.
00:47:03.440 It's just kind of built and
00:47:04.340 built and built.
00:47:05.040 Right.
00:47:05.420 And then, so it just becomes
00:47:06.440 like a tinderbox.
00:47:07.840 It's just waiting to be set
00:47:08.880 on fire.
00:47:09.860 And also, I have a question
00:47:11.500 though, maybe it's more
00:47:13.040 towards Orin being an
00:47:14.160 American.
00:47:15.360 Is that, like, well,
00:47:17.120 Krook, just assuming you, we
00:47:18.160 both know that indigenous
00:47:20.060 people are sort of more
00:47:21.320 woven into the fabric of
00:47:23.040 Canadian history and society
00:47:25.820 and so forth.
00:47:26.820 But it seems like in America,
00:47:28.380 like, then the indigenous
00:47:30.460 issue doesn't really come up
00:47:31.640 as much as opposed to, say,
00:47:32.940 African-Americans or other
00:47:34.800 historic groups.
00:47:35.680 I mean, it seems that, I
00:47:37.500 mean, that there's not a
00:47:38.320 same, like, and you could
00:47:39.500 argue that indigenous
00:47:41.440 people in America were
00:47:42.320 treated way, way worse.
00:47:44.540 And so, I wonder, yeah.
00:47:46.880 Well, I think in America, it
00:47:48.320 just gets lumped into the,
00:47:50.120 you know, the oppressed
00:47:51.900 class.
00:47:53.020 Yeah.
00:47:53.380 In Canada, you have, I
00:47:55.440 think Canada has a more
00:47:57.600 difficult time generating
00:47:58.940 the emancipation narrative,
00:48:01.860 you know, the oppression
00:48:03.100 emancipation narrative.
00:48:04.640 And so, you know, the
00:48:07.280 indigenous population,
00:48:08.880 becomes that for them in
00:48:10.380 the same way it is in
00:48:11.100 Australia where that's so
00:48:14.340 important to them as where
00:48:16.200 in America, the, you know,
00:48:18.840 African-Americans and the
00:48:20.620 idea of, you know, slavery
00:48:22.740 and everything is much more
00:48:24.160 tied to that.
00:48:25.060 So the narrative remains the
00:48:26.420 same.
00:48:26.760 The role that the narrative
00:48:28.660 plays in all of these
00:48:30.040 societies is similar, but the
00:48:32.060 object of focus zooms in and
00:48:33.740 out depending on who is
00:48:35.480 relevant, who is useful to
00:48:37.880 kind of that deconstructive
00:48:39.140 narrative.
00:48:39.800 So I think that's why they
00:48:41.000 take a more central role in
00:48:42.280 Canada is because it's more
00:48:43.600 useful.
00:48:43.940 We trust me, I taught
00:48:45.600 American history for quite a
00:48:47.920 few years and we spent
00:48:49.320 plenty of time talking about
00:48:51.740 the, about all the, all the
00:48:53.180 terrible, you know,
00:48:54.380 injustices done.
00:48:55.520 So it's not that it doesn't
00:48:57.160 exist in America.
00:48:57.960 It's just that it gets
00:48:59.180 folded, I think, as a
00:49:00.700 secondary narrative, even
00:49:02.600 though it's arguably quite
00:49:03.940 more horrific, like you said,
00:49:05.320 than, than, than perhaps
00:49:07.020 other aspects.
00:49:08.340 It, it, it gets folded in
00:49:09.800 and give it a second.
00:49:10.720 It was complicated on the
00:49:12.040 frontier as well with, you
00:49:14.420 know, the, the mythic
00:49:16.020 American frontier has been
00:49:17.500 such an ingrained thing
00:49:19.300 within the identity of
00:49:20.200 America itself.
00:49:21.140 I mean, yeah, but it's
00:49:22.500 sorry, go ahead.
00:49:23.040 CryptoScore.
00:49:23.580 I was just going to ask
00:49:24.540 Oron, do you, like, I
00:49:25.820 don't know, like, I know
00:49:26.700 there's like some communities
00:49:29.320 like in, in, in New
00:49:33.400 England and so forth,
00:49:35.820 Vermont and those places
00:49:36.840 where they have some
00:49:38.240 tribes, but generally my
00:49:40.180 sense of it is that most
00:49:41.440 of them are in the Plains
00:49:42.480 States and out West, or,
00:49:43.780 or maybe I'm mistaken
00:49:44.840 where, like, if you go
00:49:46.280 into, you know, do you
00:49:47.800 have reservations in say
00:49:49.700 Florida, Alabama, Georgia,
00:49:52.220 Texas?
00:49:53.040 Well, New York has a lot
00:49:54.000 of them.
00:49:54.720 Yeah, we, we have
00:49:55.340 reservations.
00:49:56.540 We have reservations.
00:49:57.220 That's the, so it's the
00:49:57.820 same sort of situation
00:49:58.720 then.
00:49:59.400 Now, do you run into
00:50:00.300 places like where they
00:50:01.080 have conflicts with the
00:50:02.120 reservations or like, it's
00:50:04.160 not a story that you
00:50:04.880 really hear, like, that's
00:50:05.960 like, you don't really
00:50:06.720 hear about it a lot.
00:50:07.840 So in America, a lot of
00:50:08.980 these reservations have
00:50:10.100 been basically turned
00:50:11.560 into kind of money,
00:50:13.460 money factories by people
00:50:14.940 who want to operate
00:50:16.320 businesses that otherwise
00:50:17.500 wouldn't be legal or be
00:50:19.020 heavily taxed inside the
00:50:20.240 United States.
00:50:20.780 So for instance, in
00:50:21.980 Florida, the Seminole
00:50:22.940 tribe owns all gambling.
00:50:25.000 They own all casinos
00:50:26.000 because they can operate
00:50:27.160 them on their land.
00:50:27.920 In fact, the Seminole
00:50:28.580 tribe ran a funny
00:50:30.580 that they ran a basically
00:50:32.400 a fake campaign to get
00:50:33.620 rid of greyhound racing
00:50:34.700 in Florida because
00:50:35.740 because parimutial
00:50:37.760 facilities were the only
00:50:38.760 place besides Seminole
00:50:40.300 reservation land that
00:50:41.700 you could gamble in
00:50:43.020 Florida.
00:50:43.440 And so they pretended to
00:50:44.600 care about animal rights
00:50:45.960 and they like ginned up
00:50:46.760 all these animal rights
00:50:47.460 activists to eliminate
00:50:49.060 greyhound racing just so
00:50:50.360 they could eliminate
00:50:51.420 their competition for
00:50:53.180 gambling profits in the
00:50:56.440 United States.
00:50:57.100 I believe in Florida, the
00:50:58.400 Italian mafia had to cut
00:50:59.800 deals with a lot of
00:51:00.800 indigenous reservations
00:51:01.780 back in the day.
00:51:02.540 So they could run it like
00:51:04.000 Nevada.
00:51:04.540 Yeah.
00:51:04.760 But yeah, so so there is a
00:51:06.560 weird relationship in the
00:51:08.020 United States where a lot of
00:51:09.580 these are have have been
00:51:11.620 basically, you know, the
00:51:13.100 reservation still exists,
00:51:14.320 but in many ways they
00:51:15.360 become just just land that
00:51:17.580 is hollowed out and used
00:51:18.900 entirely by corporate
00:51:20.160 ventures that otherwise
00:51:21.620 wouldn't be able to operate
00:51:22.820 inside certain parts.
00:51:23.840 good for them, though.
00:51:25.180 I mean, I mean, if you're
00:51:26.440 going to secure the bag,
00:51:27.440 right, like, yeah, then
00:51:28.480 then do it that way, though.
00:51:29.900 In many ways, it ends up
00:51:31.020 being like one guy who's
00:51:32.220 one 64th Seminole running
00:51:34.020 the whole thing.
00:51:34.900 So how much is the actual
00:51:36.380 tribe?
00:51:37.140 You know, the thing is that
00:51:38.960 most people in America are
00:51:40.660 like some mixture of German,
00:51:42.120 Irish and Anglo-Saxon
00:51:45.320 and and and Native
00:51:47.160 American.
00:51:47.800 Like, that's just that's a
00:51:49.160 standard mix.
00:51:49.940 That's my mix.
00:51:50.560 That's the, you know, to
00:51:51.300 different degrees.
00:51:52.080 That's most people's mixes
00:51:53.340 in the United States.
00:51:55.080 And so there's I don't
00:51:56.080 know what the level of
00:51:57.160 integrated, you know, kind
00:51:58.760 of kind of the genetic
00:52:00.480 scenario is in Canada.
00:52:02.100 But America, that's that's
00:52:03.180 a pretty most people can
00:52:04.320 probably trace one side
00:52:06.260 or the other of their
00:52:06.800 family to some Native
00:52:08.100 American tribe somewhere.
00:52:09.720 In Canada, there is also
00:52:10.560 issue with status cards
00:52:12.460 and the Métis and well,
00:52:14.320 Croptos, you you probably
00:52:15.520 know a lot more about that.
00:52:16.980 So well, in the the
00:52:18.720 especially in Manitoba,
00:52:19.920 there was a fair degree
00:52:22.000 of integration between
00:52:23.380 the Native and the
00:52:24.720 European population such
00:52:26.060 that you had sort of
00:52:27.760 a very mixed race type of
00:52:31.340 people, the Métis, and
00:52:32.960 they had their own special
00:52:34.760 reserve out there.
00:52:37.860 But now I'm just drawing his
00:52:39.920 I'm drawing a complete blank
00:52:41.240 on his name.
00:52:42.460 But there was actually a
00:52:43.600 series of revolts.
00:52:44.720 And, you know what, I'm
00:52:47.480 just going to Google it
00:52:48.320 right now.
00:52:49.860 Otherwise, it's going to
00:52:50.620 drive me nuts.
00:52:52.260 The Métis revolts.
00:52:56.120 Oh, yeah, I remember that.
00:52:57.440 Yeah.
00:52:57.880 Louis Riel.
00:52:58.720 Louis Riel.
00:52:59.620 There we go.
00:52:59.840 Louis Riel, yes.
00:53:00.420 Yes.
00:53:00.880 So Louis Riel.
00:53:02.000 And so they had the they
00:53:05.140 were such as the First
00:53:06.000 Nations Cree, Assiniboine
00:53:07.480 in Saskatchewan and
00:53:09.480 Manitoba.
00:53:11.160 And they actually rebelled
00:53:13.640 against the British
00:53:14.980 government at the time,
00:53:15.960 like the colonial
00:53:16.820 government at the time.
00:53:18.600 And so, you know, it has
00:53:20.280 not been peaceful at
00:53:21.660 always.
00:53:22.260 And there has been
00:53:23.040 flare ups.
00:53:25.800 And, yeah, so some
00:53:26.940 tribes integrate better
00:53:28.220 or some don't.
00:53:30.400 But I think in part because
00:53:31.900 of how Canada is laid out
00:53:33.620 in that 200 kilometer
00:53:34.840 strip, there's a, you
00:53:36.440 know, there's a lot of
00:53:37.680 rubbing up against each
00:53:39.120 other on a fairly
00:53:40.660 regular basis, you
00:53:42.080 know, so you have
00:53:43.120 land that that you
00:53:45.980 get like the Caledonia
00:53:46.940 one where there was
00:53:48.980 land that was given
00:53:50.680 over to developers.
00:53:51.700 They had housing
00:53:52.220 developments on them
00:53:53.120 and the native
00:53:54.660 population says, well,
00:53:55.960 that belongs to us.
00:53:57.480 That's native.
00:53:57.920 And so they more or
00:53:59.280 less claim that as
00:54:00.860 native population.
00:54:01.760 And you have these
00:54:02.560 people who are now
00:54:03.320 inside a conquered
00:54:04.420 territory in
00:54:06.120 Caledonia.
00:54:07.040 And they're like,
00:54:07.680 these people are going
00:54:08.320 like, uh, we bought
00:54:09.620 these houses legally,
00:54:10.600 you know, these belong
00:54:11.540 to us.
00:54:12.040 And the natives are
00:54:12.560 like, no, these, you
00:54:13.740 know, so these are the
00:54:14.760 types of situations
00:54:15.580 that you get, um, that
00:54:17.400 you've had, had
00:54:17.960 evolving in Canada to
00:54:19.540 some extent.
00:54:20.500 Well, with Oka, I
00:54:22.020 mean, let's face it,
00:54:23.080 listen, I'm not a big
00:54:24.440 fan of golf, but so
00:54:26.620 maybe I'm biased, but
00:54:27.780 just gave, they should
00:54:28.880 just gave them the
00:54:29.500 golf course.
00:54:30.080 Okay.
00:54:30.720 Like it was over a
00:54:31.900 golf course and the
00:54:33.360 military, that's, you
00:54:34.420 have the famous photo
00:54:35.440 of the indigenous person
00:54:37.020 with an AK-47, how
00:54:38.380 they got an AK-47 in
00:54:39.780 Canada.
00:54:40.040 I don't know, but
00:54:41.320 you know, probably
00:54:42.400 through, it's through
00:54:43.360 America, let's face it
00:54:44.420 through America.
00:54:45.360 Um, you know, the
00:54:46.540 famous photo where the
00:54:47.900 Canadian military
00:54:48.820 officer, uh, staring
00:54:51.040 down the indigenous
00:54:52.020 activist with the AK-47,
00:54:53.540 uh, you know, that
00:54:55.420 dispute, they should
00:54:56.820 have just given them
00:54:57.640 that land.
00:54:58.220 It was to develop a
00:54:59.260 golf course.
00:55:00.100 So a lot of these
00:55:01.300 things, they could be
00:55:02.160 avoided.
00:55:02.600 And there's been
00:55:03.700 like in Canada, there's
00:55:05.480 a whole huge, like
00:55:08.000 cottage industry with
00:55:09.420 these, like, um, these
00:55:11.020 law schools, because a
00:55:12.780 lot of the, uh, indigenous
00:55:14.000 activists go to become
00:55:15.320 lawyers because of
00:55:16.460 course their education
00:55:17.260 is free in Canada.
00:55:18.400 So it's basically to
00:55:19.860 settle these land
00:55:20.920 disputes.
00:55:21.580 And a lot of these
00:55:22.540 land disputes, some of
00:55:23.400 them have gone back for
00:55:24.720 multiple, multiple
00:55:26.280 decades and they still
00:55:27.800 haven't been resolved.
00:55:28.940 There's a huge, especially
00:55:30.360 up North, there's a
00:55:31.180 huge issue with, uh,
00:55:33.220 these land dispute
00:55:34.020 claims, which I think
00:55:35.120 in America, I know
00:55:36.540 that there was a lot
00:55:37.220 of issues as well.
00:55:38.000 I mean, of course,
00:55:38.560 wounded me.
00:55:39.580 There were seventies.
00:55:40.720 Yeah.
00:55:41.480 Yeah.
00:55:42.120 Yeah.
00:55:42.900 Um, of course, American
00:55:44.560 indigenous groups tend
00:55:45.700 to be more well-armed,
00:55:47.200 but you know, I mean,
00:55:48.480 yeah.
00:55:49.140 So, so, uh, we're,
00:55:50.620 we're running low on
00:55:51.940 time, but I want to
00:55:52.700 ask you guys one more
00:55:53.620 question before we kind
00:55:54.660 of pivot over to a few
00:55:56.240 super chats we have
00:55:57.260 there.
00:55:58.040 So I guess my question
00:55:59.700 would be given,
00:56:00.700 that the way the
00:56:02.080 government was a, and
00:56:03.080 the media were able to
00:56:04.160 kind of use this, uh,
00:56:06.380 and the way they were
00:56:07.040 able to perpetuate this
00:56:08.420 the way they were able
00:56:09.220 to be swept up like
00:56:10.540 this and the way it
00:56:12.280 feels like they're just
00:56:12.900 going to entirely get
00:56:13.640 away with it, right?
00:56:14.300 Like, even though this
00:56:14.960 is proven pretty much
00:56:15.840 entirely false, there's,
00:56:17.220 there's going to be
00:56:17.640 no, no, like, what
00:56:19.560 does that mean for
00:56:20.840 Canada going forward?
00:56:22.480 Like, is there a, is
00:56:24.120 there a hope that,
00:56:25.240 you know, you saw the
00:56:25.900 trucker protest, you saw
00:56:27.220 some pushback in
00:56:28.560 Canada through some of
00:56:29.740 the extremes, but
00:56:30.560 like, is there a hope
00:56:32.600 that there will be a
00:56:33.440 resurgent, uh, kind of
00:56:35.280 opposition in Canada,
00:56:36.980 something that can
00:56:37.680 actually stand, or is
00:56:39.360 the government just
00:56:39.880 going to be able to
00:56:40.400 kind of slam this
00:56:41.260 button whenever it
00:56:42.140 feels like it wants
00:56:43.200 to, to kind of, uh,
00:56:44.560 you know, uh, use,
00:56:45.760 you know, Christians or,
00:56:47.220 you know, the, the
00:56:47.840 small percentage of
00:56:48.900 actual, uh, conservatives
00:56:50.620 in the nation as
00:56:51.820 escape though, whenever
00:56:52.700 they feel it's
00:56:53.200 necessary.
00:56:53.480 Well, yes.
00:56:55.360 And, and that not
00:56:57.400 only that, but they
00:56:57.980 clamped down on our
00:56:58.740 guns as well too.
00:57:00.220 So, um, can't buy
00:57:01.220 handguns anymore.
00:57:02.340 Can't buy handguns.
00:57:03.580 Um, and there's a
00:57:04.500 whole bunch of guns.
00:57:05.200 I was just talking
00:57:05.760 with a buddy of mine
00:57:06.880 who's a hunter and he
00:57:08.420 has some guns that he
00:57:09.600 says, oh boy, glad
00:57:10.300 them got, got these a
00:57:11.180 few years ago.
00:57:11.740 I says, because some
00:57:12.940 of the ones, cause
00:57:13.580 he's actually got a, he
00:57:14.800 can carry a pistol.
00:57:15.700 He's got all of his
00:57:16.660 licenses, not a
00:57:18.280 policeman, but, um, um,
00:57:19.880 has just went through
00:57:20.800 the process, did all
00:57:21.720 things and worked
00:57:22.400 it.
00:57:22.540 But, um, he says I
00:57:23.800 couldn't get half the
00:57:24.480 guns I own right now
00:57:25.280 anyways, um, to buy
00:57:26.360 the tape.
00:57:26.660 But so there's that,
00:57:27.880 um, just as you know,
00:57:29.560 um, Gordon McGill
00:57:30.800 wanted me to note
00:57:31.580 that, you know, the
00:57:32.360 trials for Tamara
00:57:33.300 Lynch and Chris
00:57:34.080 Barber are going on
00:57:34.900 right now.
00:57:35.860 So these are going on
00:57:37.120 again in the trucker
00:57:38.160 dispute.
00:57:38.500 So they're being, their
00:57:39.380 punishments are going
00:57:40.140 to be kept down.
00:57:40.600 And these are again,
00:57:41.100 you don't hear about
00:57:41.780 it in the news at
00:57:42.380 all because they're
00:57:43.260 quietly getting, um,
00:57:44.960 railroaded.
00:57:45.960 Um, who knows?
00:57:47.260 I mean, maybe they'll
00:57:47.820 get off.
00:57:48.160 The audit report was
00:57:49.600 people were saying
00:57:50.960 that I hate to say
00:57:52.360 it, but there were
00:57:52.820 certain conservatives
00:57:53.660 in Canada that were
00:57:55.200 like, see, they're
00:57:56.560 going to get Trudeau
00:57:57.620 this time.
00:57:58.720 No, but I think I
00:57:59.600 said this on the show
00:58:00.400 with Laura and I
00:58:01.120 said, um, it's sort
00:58:03.660 of like the, I don't
00:58:04.640 want to bring out
00:58:05.240 Carl Schmidt here, but
00:58:06.180 like he who decides
00:58:08.480 the exception, like
00:58:09.700 what did you think
00:58:10.320 was going to happen?
00:58:11.080 The judge was a
00:58:11.960 liberal party member.
00:58:13.060 I don't think they're
00:58:14.060 going to punish Trudeau
00:58:15.180 over the mishandling
00:58:16.960 of the trucker
00:58:17.600 situation anytime soon.
00:58:19.600 So, no, and, and,
00:58:21.780 um, it's, uh, you
00:58:24.080 know, so all of these
00:58:25.460 things are still in
00:58:26.940 the background.
00:58:27.320 I mean, you know,
00:58:28.480 this is the, one of
00:58:29.800 the sad things that
00:58:30.620 you have in Canadian
00:58:31.380 life is that, you
00:58:32.700 know, you can go
00:58:33.180 shopping, you can go
00:58:34.000 to the mall, you can
00:58:34.920 work, but people do
00:58:35.900 not realize the degree
00:58:37.220 to which, um, you
00:58:39.320 know, you just can't
00:58:40.260 say certain things in
00:58:41.380 public that, you
00:58:42.260 know, it's a
00:58:42.800 quasi totalitarian
00:58:44.440 state, you know, in
00:58:45.580 a sense that the
00:58:47.080 state wishes to
00:58:48.180 dictate the totality
00:58:49.520 of your life and
00:58:50.720 not just how you
00:58:52.100 act, but how you
00:58:53.000 think.
00:58:53.860 Um, and so you
00:58:55.840 have to say the
00:58:56.940 right things, you
00:58:58.160 know, you, you
00:58:59.020 know, you're
00:58:59.560 expected to honk
00:59:00.680 when the, the
00:59:01.360 native protesters
00:59:02.180 are on the bridge
00:59:03.040 flying there like
00:59:03.840 every life matters
00:59:04.880 flags, you know,
00:59:05.620 all of these types
00:59:06.460 of things, um, you
00:59:08.140 know, Canada is a
00:59:09.020 country where, um,
00:59:11.240 you know, workers of
00:59:12.120 the world unite is, is
00:59:14.080 a, is a company.
00:59:15.220 I mean, not a lot of
00:59:16.040 people read Vaklav
00:59:16.920 Havel, but you know,
00:59:18.000 once you have and you
00:59:19.080 look around and you
00:59:19.980 see, um, workers of
00:59:21.680 the world unite is
00:59:23.040 predominant everywhere.
00:59:24.200 So, and everyone
00:59:25.000 does.
00:59:25.860 Yeah.
00:59:26.080 And they can come
00:59:26.700 down on us pretty
00:59:27.360 much anytime they want
00:59:28.460 to.
00:59:28.600 So the, the whole
00:59:29.340 system is bought, I
00:59:30.140 mean, with, um, the
00:59:31.660 human rights
00:59:32.200 tribunals, um, I
00:59:34.820 think isn't even
00:59:35.600 Jordan Peterson's now
00:59:36.860 stuff is now finally
00:59:37.860 Well, he's has, he
00:59:38.720 has to go through a
00:59:39.620 media training program.
00:59:41.320 Oh, okay.
00:59:41.980 He doesn't even live
00:59:42.580 in Canada anymore.
00:59:43.480 No, he'll probably
00:59:44.900 not go.
00:59:45.980 Yeah, I know.
00:59:46.620 Well, he's got the
00:59:47.260 daily wire money, so
00:59:48.280 he'll, you know, but
00:59:49.660 I have to distinguish
00:59:50.760 though.
00:59:51.560 It's good that
00:59:52.320 Kroptos brought up,
00:59:53.600 um, brought up
00:59:55.840 Varkov Havel, because
00:59:57.560 I want to say that
00:59:58.600 Canadians were not as
01:00:01.380 bad as Europe in terms
01:00:02.640 of like explicit legal
01:00:04.300 fair.
01:00:05.120 I mean, listen, I
01:00:06.040 use my real name and
01:00:07.020 face.
01:00:08.000 Giovanni Pettuccini is
01:00:08.900 my real legal birth
01:00:10.160 name, but it's more
01:00:12.340 of the culture of
01:00:14.180 sort of like go along
01:00:15.840 to get along that
01:00:17.220 Havel talks about in
01:00:18.820 the green grocer case
01:00:19.840 that is Canada.
01:00:21.200 It's more of the
01:00:21.960 social conditioning
01:00:22.940 and eventually probably
01:00:24.500 there will be laws.
01:00:25.460 I mean, the trucker
01:00:26.040 thing was met with
01:00:26.720 brutal, uh, crackdowns
01:00:28.660 in states of exception
01:00:29.680 and, and, uh, well,
01:00:31.100 they don't call it the
01:00:31.700 war measures act.
01:00:32.500 What do they call it
01:00:33.080 again?
01:00:33.340 Uh, crop toast
01:00:35.080 don't call it.
01:00:35.740 Oh yeah.
01:00:36.080 They had to, they, they
01:00:37.100 acted on all the
01:00:38.240 things that they used
01:00:38.840 emergency powers act
01:00:40.200 powers at, there you
01:00:41.740 go.
01:00:41.900 That's right.
01:00:42.320 Yes.
01:00:42.920 And unfortunately, yeah,
01:00:44.940 the opposition in
01:00:46.180 Canada, in terms of
01:00:47.180 people that are
01:00:47.700 conservative or right
01:00:48.520 wing, they
01:00:49.460 unfortunately default
01:00:50.320 to like a lot of
01:00:51.120 American assumptions
01:00:52.160 and like a lot of
01:00:53.620 these truckers, I
01:00:54.320 mean, you know, God
01:00:55.240 bless them.
01:00:55.720 But like they said,
01:00:57.240 you know, we do
01:00:58.320 have a constitution
01:00:58.900 Canada, but it's
01:00:59.440 not like the
01:00:59.820 American, uh, you
01:01:01.320 know, it's like
01:01:01.840 unfortunately they
01:01:02.980 consume American
01:01:04.120 conservative, like
01:01:05.280 Fox news media
01:01:06.720 as relevant and
01:01:08.040 rebel media have, you
01:01:09.180 know, catered to more
01:01:10.280 of an American
01:01:10.840 audience by pumping
01:01:12.320 these celebs like
01:01:13.100 Lauren Southern and
01:01:14.040 others into America.
01:01:15.720 So there is like no
01:01:17.220 organic opposition in
01:01:18.520 Canada.
01:01:18.780 That's a big problem.
01:01:19.740 But my last final word
01:01:21.220 would be, uh, well, two
01:01:23.100 things, by the way, I
01:01:24.020 have to say this.
01:01:24.880 I, I've been, I
01:01:25.540 received a text just
01:01:27.180 now or, and my, my
01:01:28.800 girlfriend is a big
01:01:29.660 fan of yours.
01:01:30.680 She really likes your
01:01:31.780 stuff.
01:01:32.040 So I have to say that
01:01:32.880 on air, um, you
01:01:34.580 know, before I forget.
01:01:35.880 No, I appreciate it.
01:01:36.440 I mean, the, the, the
01:01:37.160 true cell death has
01:01:38.180 died, you know, you
01:01:39.360 died the real death,
01:01:40.320 but, uh, I'm glad you
01:01:41.640 have a little amount of
01:01:42.140 an exquisite taste at
01:01:43.200 least.
01:01:43.420 Well, yeah, she's
01:01:44.540 one of yours or an
01:01:45.660 American.
01:01:46.820 So, you know, but,
01:01:48.060 uh, well, one day
01:01:49.040 we'll exfiltrate you.
01:01:50.080 Don't worry.
01:01:50.800 Yeah.
01:01:51.160 Yeah.
01:01:51.940 Um, but one last, a
01:01:54.840 serious point would be
01:01:55.740 that I think you raise
01:01:57.360 a really great question
01:01:58.540 in that.
01:01:59.480 I think that there
01:02:00.260 must be a balance
01:02:01.940 between the needs of
01:02:03.420 indigenous people in
01:02:04.380 Canada who have
01:02:05.600 historically gone
01:02:06.420 through abuses and
01:02:07.440 the needs of
01:02:07.900 Christians in Canada.
01:02:09.440 Unfortunately, we have
01:02:11.660 a government in
01:02:13.080 Justin Trudeau, that
01:02:14.760 is not serious in
01:02:16.300 any regard in
01:02:17.840 terms of balancing
01:02:19.020 the issues, but
01:02:21.520 also in terms of
01:02:22.520 just the historic
01:02:23.260 precedent of the
01:02:23.960 liberal party as
01:02:24.520 Kryptos was saying
01:02:25.340 when it comes to
01:02:26.420 indigenous issues,
01:02:27.280 they can cause,
01:02:28.880 you know, they
01:02:30.140 could talk about
01:02:30.660 all of the activism
01:02:31.600 they want, but the
01:02:32.780 reality is, is that
01:02:33.760 the abuses by
01:02:35.240 indigenous people at
01:02:36.080 the hands of the
01:02:36.640 liberal party has
01:02:38.460 been numerous.
01:02:38.960 And the seriousness
01:02:41.640 of these issues will
01:02:43.240 never be met because
01:02:44.540 we have a spectacle
01:02:45.940 media-driven
01:02:47.340 administration that
01:02:49.400 frankly are concerned
01:02:50.960 with other things and
01:02:52.180 optics rather than the
01:02:53.880 interests of the
01:02:54.520 Canadian people at
01:02:55.220 large, especially
01:02:56.320 indigenous people and
01:02:57.120 especially Christians in
01:02:58.080 Canada.
01:02:58.620 I'm sorry, but the
01:02:59.680 Trudeau government has
01:03:01.160 been on every issue
01:03:03.040 largely a failure
01:03:03.960 because we do not
01:03:05.180 have serious people in
01:03:06.480 charge.
01:03:07.620 I mean, that's the
01:03:09.300 reality.
01:03:09.840 Sorry.
01:03:10.580 That's my little
01:03:11.220 reason.
01:03:11.880 This is not the only,
01:03:13.040 like, the native issue
01:03:14.300 is not the only issue
01:03:15.240 too.
01:03:15.520 Like, there was
01:03:15.960 recent, like, they
01:03:17.200 are looking for every
01:03:19.160 issue dealing with
01:03:20.260 immigrant populations
01:03:21.280 to basically, like,
01:03:23.720 everything is like,
01:03:24.520 well, we've got to
01:03:24.920 worry about Islamophobia.
01:03:27.020 Right?
01:03:27.340 And so the big
01:03:28.520 concern, like, nobody
01:03:29.580 worries about the,
01:03:31.480 you know, the native-born
01:03:35.920 Canadian Christian
01:03:36.880 population in Canada
01:03:38.500 at all.
01:03:39.900 And so they're just,
01:03:41.060 they're always that
01:03:41.780 ready scapegoat there
01:03:44.000 waiting for things to
01:03:45.880 happen at the side.
01:03:46.700 You just, you have
01:03:47.520 that, you know what I
01:03:48.060 mean?
01:03:48.480 And everybody knows
01:03:49.320 who the thing, and
01:03:50.020 people ask, like, you
01:03:51.480 know, what is it with
01:03:52.300 Canadian radicals?
01:03:53.280 Why are there so many
01:03:54.120 on the online dissident
01:03:55.680 rights scene, so many
01:03:56.600 Canadians, and why do
01:03:57.500 these Canadians seem so
01:03:58.640 radical?
01:03:59.500 Because once the dime
01:04:00.700 drops for you in Canada,
01:04:02.420 like, and you look
01:04:03.460 around and you realize
01:04:04.560 and you see the state
01:04:05.480 of things, it's like,
01:04:07.380 well, I'm, you know,
01:04:08.820 everything that people
01:04:09.680 think is happening in
01:04:10.600 the States, we're
01:04:11.200 experiencing it firsthand
01:04:12.240 right here.
01:04:13.800 And so then there's just
01:04:15.100 sort of, well, you know,
01:04:16.160 if they're going to, if
01:04:16.780 they've already outlawed
01:04:17.660 everything, I think
01:04:18.380 anyways, I might as
01:04:19.300 well just, you know, go
01:04:21.520 to the wall with it, you
01:04:22.460 know, and, and just jump
01:04:24.560 in with two feet because
01:04:25.560 there's really, at that
01:04:26.860 point, there's like half
01:04:27.640 measures really don't do
01:04:28.520 it for you.
01:04:29.640 Well, another irony being
01:04:31.300 is that among the
01:04:32.800 indigenous people, I
01:04:33.620 mean, higher rates of
01:04:35.040 church attendance, higher
01:04:37.440 rates of gun ownership,
01:04:38.860 certainly.
01:04:39.580 I wondered, yeah, I was
01:04:40.980 going to say, you know,
01:04:41.960 a number of, of course,
01:04:43.540 Native Americans ended up
01:04:44.760 being Christian, so I had
01:04:46.000 wondered how, you know,
01:04:46.920 how much overlap there
01:04:48.400 was in that Venn diagram.
01:04:50.200 Oh, yeah.
01:04:50.560 Oh, yeah, actually, Gio's
01:04:51.700 right, actually, they have a
01:04:52.560 higher rate of church
01:04:53.260 attendance than the general
01:04:54.140 population in Canada.
01:04:55.620 And they could never
01:04:56.300 outright ban guns in
01:04:57.440 Canada because of them as
01:04:58.620 well.
01:04:58.780 Because of them.
01:04:59.100 Yeah, I mean, well,
01:05:00.500 because of their rates of
01:05:01.720 hunting and gun ownership
01:05:02.740 is way higher than the
01:05:03.740 average population, you
01:05:05.320 know, and another thing
01:05:06.300 too, demographically,
01:05:07.620 Canada, as opposed to
01:05:09.420 America, even, even
01:05:10.700 though America is kind of
01:05:11.680 going that trend with the
01:05:13.000 the mega cities and all
01:05:14.620 that, Canada is like an
01:05:16.420 incredibly urbanized
01:05:17.560 population.
01:05:18.820 Most Canadians, you know,
01:05:20.840 newly landed immigrants
01:05:21.960 exist in like the major
01:05:23.800 four cities, Toronto,
01:05:26.600 Montreal, Vancouver,
01:05:29.100 am I missing a few
01:05:30.520 corrupt, who else?
01:05:32.060 Wow, you've got the
01:05:32.580 mid-sized cities.
01:05:33.560 Calgary, Calgary, you
01:05:35.160 know, and then, you know,
01:05:36.360 Hamilton, Edmonton.
01:05:37.880 Yeah.
01:05:38.780 You know, Kitchener,
01:05:40.080 Waterloo, London.
01:05:42.400 All around the American
01:05:43.500 border, by the way, mostly
01:05:44.700 like that.
01:05:46.040 Yeah.
01:05:46.560 So Canada has like the
01:05:48.360 demographic issues in
01:05:49.360 Canada, especially with the
01:05:51.260 rates of immigration that
01:05:52.340 which, by the way, also will
01:05:53.580 affect services for
01:05:54.720 indigenous people.
01:05:55.480 I mean, not to make the
01:05:56.680 whole like the liberal
01:05:58.020 parties the real racist, but
01:05:59.800 you know, I mean,
01:06:00.760 immigration in Canada,
01:06:01.740 there's not even a will
01:06:02.760 among the Conservative
01:06:04.060 Party to seriously
01:06:05.540 reconsider this
01:06:07.120 correlation between
01:06:08.360 immigration and the
01:06:10.000 housing market in
01:06:11.020 Canada and artificially
01:06:12.560 propping up that housing
01:06:13.600 market and the strain on
01:06:15.500 health care and education
01:06:16.780 and other vital services,
01:06:18.760 let alone the demographic
01:06:20.300 issues that come with it.
01:06:21.580 I mean, there's really no
01:06:22.920 will in Canada to even
01:06:24.060 discuss these things.
01:06:25.700 So that's why a lot of
01:06:26.800 Canadians on the rate,
01:06:27.700 they just go to America.
01:06:29.360 All right, guys, we do
01:06:31.240 we do have a number of
01:06:32.020 questions for you.
01:06:33.120 So I don't know.
01:06:35.880 Rant and rant and rant.
01:06:37.240 I love both of you, but
01:06:38.360 but neither of you are
01:06:39.440 about brevity.
01:06:40.060 And and there are many,
01:06:41.440 many reasons for you to
01:06:43.260 be angry about Canada.
01:06:44.460 So I don't blame you.
01:06:45.300 But we do have to get to
01:06:46.540 some of the questions here
01:06:48.380 for the people.
01:06:48.860 But before we do that,
01:06:49.660 guys, let's go ahead.
01:06:51.000 I've already had people
01:06:51.660 ask about where to find
01:06:52.740 your work.
01:06:53.340 So Kriptos, if you go
01:06:54.340 first, please tell people
01:06:55.360 where are you on Twitter?
01:06:56.480 Where's your sub stack?
01:06:57.300 Where else can people
01:06:57.920 hear you?
01:06:58.680 OK, so on on Twitter,
01:07:01.040 I'm at underscore
01:07:02.180 Kriptos with a K.
01:07:03.980 And then on sub stack,
01:07:07.080 it's seeking the
01:07:08.080 hidden thing dot com.

01:08:34.720 Uh, sorry.
01:08:35.880 I have to grift
01:08:36.520 my, my upcoming
01:08:39.400 piece is going to be
01:08:40.740 um, working towards
01:08:41.880 a theology of
01:08:43.120 netter.
01:08:43.920 So, um, I know
01:08:46.640 so I've been tooling
01:08:47.860 around, so I'm
01:08:48.260 actually laying out
01:08:48.940 outlines for that.
01:08:49.760 So we're going to
01:08:50.140 work towards, um,
01:08:51.860 try to just begin
01:08:53.400 pushing towards a
01:08:54.680 theology of no
01:08:55.440 enemies to the right.
01:08:56.280 And what was your
01:08:57.660 previous piece on
01:08:58.580 Kryptos?
01:08:59.040 We were going to
01:08:59.420 cover that in a
01:08:59.920 Twitter space.
01:09:00.600 I forgot about that.
01:09:01.140 We were going to do
01:09:01.700 that.
01:09:02.000 That was just the
01:09:03.120 one on why you, why
01:09:04.120 we can't, um, which
01:09:05.100 we should still do
01:09:05.820 do, um, on why
01:09:07.080 that same thing that
01:09:07.880 that Orn and I
01:09:08.540 talked about is why
01:09:09.780 the, um, administrative
01:09:11.280 state can't be
01:09:12.080 reformed.
01:09:12.900 It, um, you, you
01:09:14.600 just, you have to
01:09:15.520 bring it all down.
01:09:16.860 We've got that.
01:09:17.520 We've got that, uh,
01:09:18.240 episode of the
01:09:18.680 backlog.
01:09:18.980 If anybody wants to
01:09:19.900 check it out, it
01:09:20.440 was a very good one.
01:09:21.460 All right, guys, let's
01:09:22.160 go ahead and jump over
01:09:22.780 to our questions
01:09:23.880 from the people, uh,
01:09:25.340 Thogo here for $7
01:09:26.260 says, why are the
01:09:27.420 British former or
01:09:28.660 where are the former
01:09:29.700 British colonies, New
01:09:31.200 Zealand, Australia,
01:09:32.020 Canada performing so
01:09:33.120 badly against the
01:09:34.280 socialist assault on
01:09:36.040 Liberty?
01:09:37.040 Yeah, guys, what's up
01:09:37.840 with the satrapies?
01:09:38.580 Why are they, uh,
01:09:39.380 why are they so, uh,
01:09:40.820 why are they so much
01:09:41.460 more woke than even
01:09:42.380 the Americas?
01:09:43.720 They don't have the
01:09:44.620 theology of the
01:09:45.860 American founding, but
01:09:47.700 you go ahead,
01:09:48.300 corruptos.
01:09:48.840 There's a, there's
01:09:49.400 many reasons for
01:09:50.200 this, but there is
01:09:51.680 it's, it's, it's,
01:09:53.140 I think at some
01:09:54.740 point in time, people
01:09:55.820 just got tired of the
01:09:57.860 cost of, of having
01:10:00.320 colonies in the sense
01:10:01.340 of, of being a, um, a
01:10:05.300 conquering, a conquering
01:10:06.820 nation.
01:10:07.580 So, um, as
01:10:09.680 decolonization occurred,
01:10:11.340 um, the stories began
01:10:12.860 to get told, um, and
01:10:15.080 people began to look at
01:10:16.380 this as, as an, as a
01:10:18.880 quote unquote
01:10:19.340 embarrassing period.
01:10:20.460 You weren't allowed to
01:10:21.800 talk about, um, the,
01:10:24.380 the triumphs and it was
01:10:25.560 just sort of a crisis
01:10:26.460 and confidence in
01:10:27.460 Western culture sort of
01:10:28.540 happened right around
01:10:29.380 the period of, um,
01:10:31.840 decolonization as, you
01:10:33.540 know, India claimed its,
01:10:34.840 its independence as, um,
01:10:36.880 Australia, um, you know,
01:10:39.140 so it, it, all of these
01:10:40.640 things were happening.
01:10:41.480 Um, and so now the one
01:10:44.340 thing you can't do is say
01:10:46.180 that, well, no, um,
01:10:48.480 British Western culture
01:10:50.560 is a good thing and, and
01:10:52.700 we should be imposing it
01:10:53.940 upon you.
01:10:54.380 And this is partly the
01:10:55.280 thing of the residential
01:10:56.020 schools happened during a
01:10:58.200 time when you could still
01:10:59.140 say that, well, you know,
01:10:59.960 it's good to be British and
01:11:01.900 Western and we're doing
01:11:03.360 these Indians a favor by
01:11:05.080 making them more British.
01:11:06.380 And then all of a sudden,
01:11:07.740 um, the progressive dime
01:11:10.240 dropped and, and the meme
01:11:11.620 changed.
01:11:12.200 And now all of a sudden
01:11:13.840 it was no longer
01:11:15.880 acceptable from progressive
01:11:17.360 standards to, to say that
01:11:19.900 they had lost their
01:11:20.620 confidence in their own
01:11:21.620 culture.
01:11:21.980 And now you had to
01:11:22.980 apologize for it.
01:11:24.000 Cause that was the
01:11:24.660 progressive.
01:11:25.080 It was just, we were, we
01:11:26.940 were mean and ugly and we
01:11:28.180 should never have engaged
01:11:29.420 in, in these kinds of
01:11:30.520 imperial actions.
01:11:31.920 Um, that's right.
01:11:34.160 All right.
01:11:34.640 And that's kind of where
01:11:35.260 everything goes now.
01:11:35.980 And that's what really
01:11:36.460 drives it is that guilt for
01:11:37.800 the imperial past.
01:11:38.800 Sorry.
01:11:40.000 I think they also know where
01:11:41.180 power lies.
01:11:41.960 And making sure to
01:11:42.940 signal, um, uh, allegiance
01:11:44.920 to it, uh, even at the
01:11:46.400 global level is, is
01:11:47.500 essential for the ruling
01:11:48.820 parties know who, uh, you
01:11:50.540 know, uh, butter their
01:11:51.520 bread, uh, in all of those
01:11:53.160 countries and they know
01:11:54.000 that it isn't the American
01:11:54.940 right.
01:11:55.840 Uh, all right.
01:11:56.520 So, uh, Mr.
01:11:58.100 Clarity here for, uh, 10
01:12:00.080 Canadian, uh, talking about
01:12:01.740 this with normie Canadians is
01:12:03.800 nigh impossible.
01:12:04.820 There's almost no
01:12:05.880 counterpoint in respectable
01:12:07.560 Canadian media, the orange
01:12:08.960 shirt branding and yearly, uh,
01:12:11.600 shame rituals is a slick
01:12:13.280 package.
01:12:14.600 Uh, what do you guys think
01:12:15.680 about that?
01:12:16.160 Basically impossible to have
01:12:17.220 pushback because, uh, that
01:12:19.320 no respectable Canadian
01:12:20.860 media will touch it.
01:12:22.360 There are, there are
01:12:23.180 pieces here and there, even
01:12:24.780 in the CBC, ironically enough.
01:12:26.440 But yeah, in terms of like the
01:12:29.060 media proper, I mean, certainly
01:12:31.640 the activist class, I mean, my
01:12:33.040 God, they, they, like, like I
01:12:35.160 said, you mentioned Terry
01:12:36.080 Glavin.
01:12:36.660 I mean, you know, they're like
01:12:38.800 leftist activists and NDP
01:12:40.740 people saying that he's part of,
01:12:43.240 uh, part of, uh, G word eyed
01:12:46.120 culture.
01:12:47.280 And, you know, this is a man
01:12:49.240 who's written about indigenous
01:12:50.380 issues for forever.
01:12:51.500 And it's, yeah.
01:12:53.320 Well, like I've, I've, you
01:12:55.060 know, because of my education
01:12:56.540 and so forth and, and some of
01:12:58.400 the activities we do, we move
01:12:59.540 in and out of, you know, um,
01:13:01.540 managerial class circles and so
01:13:03.160 forth.
01:13:03.320 You want to get a room quiet
01:13:04.820 really fast.
01:13:06.220 It's just to say something
01:13:07.320 offhand, you know, like, yeah,
01:13:08.760 if we had a Trump up here in
01:13:09.820 Canada, I'd vote for him in a, in
01:13:11.040 a, in a heartbeat.
01:13:12.580 And you can just, you can just
01:13:14.240 see, you know, you might as
01:13:15.420 well sprouted horns on your head
01:13:17.220 and, you know, um, uh, the
01:13:19.300 flames of hell, like coming up
01:13:21.220 around you.
01:13:22.140 Um, they, they just simply do
01:13:24.440 not want to hear it.
01:13:25.800 Um, most Canadians have been,
01:13:29.220 especially in the professional
01:13:30.340 classes, completely brainwormed.
01:13:32.300 Like I, I know professionals who
01:13:35.020 like two years ago, three years
01:13:37.480 ago, um, transgenderism was not
01:13:40.320 a thing.
01:13:40.900 Now they talk about how
01:13:42.520 transitioning children is, is
01:13:44.600 such a wonderful thing for them
01:13:46.200 that they can express themselves
01:13:47.460 and you're like, and, and, you
01:13:49.580 know, so like, um, you know,
01:13:51.700 if you really want to find
01:13:53.020 normally Canadians, you can
01:13:54.000 talk to, you've got to get
01:13:54.920 outside of the cities, but then
01:13:56.020 most of them are conservatives
01:13:56.960 and then you don't have to, but
01:13:58.120 once you get into the cities,
01:13:59.360 almost everyone, you just have
01:14:01.320 to be very careful about who you
01:14:02.400 talk to.
01:14:02.900 I mean, that's just kind of the
01:14:03.760 way it is.
01:14:04.060 You have to be very careful about
01:14:05.080 how you open your mouth up and,
01:14:07.320 and, you know, who you talk to
01:14:09.360 in public.
01:14:10.900 Yeah.
01:14:11.280 It's just the way.
01:14:11.920 Yeah.
01:14:12.140 Yeah.
01:14:13.060 Uh, Mike Oxlong here for 499.
01:14:15.460 Uh, horrifying subject matter
01:14:17.200 well-addressed by great guests.
01:14:18.960 Thanks, gents.
01:14:20.180 Yeah, no, I, I really appreciate
01:14:21.500 you guys.
01:14:22.480 Yeah.
01:14:22.900 I was glad we were able to get
01:14:24.180 both of you on, uh, to bring
01:14:26.420 this up, uh, and again, you know,
01:14:27.980 geo had taken the fez off knowing
01:14:30.080 that this is a, this is a critical
01:14:31.920 moment and, uh, you know, show
01:14:33.500 it, showing the due respect.
01:14:34.720 All right.
01:14:35.280 And then tiny Rick here for 109.
01:14:37.120 Any thoughts on annexation by
01:14:38.440 America post Caesar?
01:14:40.340 So yeah, we wouldn't do that
01:14:41.420 to you now.
01:14:42.900 Obviously, obviously we don't want
01:14:44.060 to, uh, you under the, the auspices
01:14:45.460 of the Biden administration, but
01:14:47.200 once the red Caesar comes, you
01:14:48.740 know, clearly the day of the
01:14:49.720 rake, you know, free liberating
01:14:51.100 Canadians from.
01:14:52.400 It is one of those things that
01:14:53.680 people chuckle at, but because of
01:14:55.780 the nature of confederation, most
01:14:57.280 people don't realize that it's
01:14:59.320 actually harder to trade within
01:15:01.300 Canada than it is for most
01:15:02.980 Canadian places to trade North and
01:15:04.580 South with the border.
01:15:05.360 So there's a lot of times where
01:15:06.320 provinces have more trade with
01:15:08.860 their natural traits.
01:15:09.700 Like, so Vancouver and British
01:15:11.800 Columbia has more natural ties
01:15:13.400 with the Northwest United States.
01:15:16.000 Um, they're more like California
01:15:18.180 than they are here.
01:15:19.080 The prairie provinces are much
01:15:20.680 more like, you know, Montana,
01:15:22.120 Wyoming, and you think of like
01:15:23.680 the people in Montana and
01:15:24.720 Wyoming and how they are, that's
01:15:26.620 how they are in Alberta and
01:15:27.580 Saskatchewan, you know, people in
01:15:29.400 Ontario were basically like the
01:15:31.460 Midwest United States, you know,
01:15:33.180 like in Chicago, Detroit, um,
01:15:36.200 Cleveland.
01:15:37.040 That's, that's kind of us, right?
01:15:38.700 That manifest destiny lives on,
01:15:40.520 just goes north.
01:15:41.040 That's right.
01:15:41.440 You know, the, and then Quebec
01:15:42.780 gets this kind of its own thing.
01:15:44.380 And, um, and then the, the
01:15:46.440 Maritimes, um, you know, I mean,
01:15:48.620 if you read the early histories,
01:15:49.700 the Maritimes, the provinces,
01:15:51.220 that, that, that interaction back
01:15:52.600 and forth was quite extensive,
01:15:53.720 right?
01:15:54.140 So all of those, those natural
01:15:56.100 ties are far more, more North
01:15:57.940 South natural than they are.
01:15:59.780 So if let's say the U S were to
01:16:01.260 break up into various pieces, you
01:16:03.840 could easily see Canada breaking
01:16:05.840 up along with the U S and, and
01:16:09.020 forming those natural alliances.
01:16:11.140 Um, but so it, it's, it's a
01:16:13.060 very sort of, it's an interesting
01:16:14.720 sort of thing that, that, um, a
01:16:16.340 lot of people have kind of mused
01:16:17.600 on that, that Canada in some sense
01:16:19.100 is kind of an unnatural, um, you
01:16:22.940 know, entity and would have been
01:16:25.500 much more naturally sort of these
01:16:27.480 North South type of corridors in
01:16:29.380 terms of trade and culture and so
01:16:31.260 forth.
01:16:31.500 All right.
