The Candice Malcolm Show - CBC’s “Being Black in Canada” series is straight out of an Orwell novel

00:00:00.000 The CBC creates an Orwellian list of words it would like banished from the English language,

00:00:05.700 all of Ottawa is in collusion to push a ridiculous bill, and the CBC celebrates working from home

00:00:11.740 because apparently it stops awful white people from being so racist.

00:00:16.360 It's Fake News Friday, I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.

00:00:23.900 Hi everyone, thank you so much for tuning in to The Candice Malcolm Show.

00:00:27.100 It is Friday, happy Friday everyone, and as you know on the program on Fridays we devote the entire show

00:00:32.920 to debunking the ridiculous media narratives that exist out there.

00:00:36.980 We talk about all of the problems with the media in Canada stemming from the fact that they take money from the government

00:00:42.920 so we have no separation between journalism and state in this country.

00:00:47.060 The major journalists, especially the ones covering Justin Trudeau and the federal government in Ottawa,

00:00:52.200 are paid by Justin Trudeau and the federal government in Ottawa.

00:00:54.880 It is such a conflict of interest, and because of all of these various problems,

00:00:59.140 we encounter so many stories that require us to do a deep dive into, pay closer attention, dissect,

00:01:06.280 and help raise the issue and help everybody out there fully understand how corrupt this system of Canadian media

00:01:13.220 attached to Canadian government is in this country.

00:01:16.260 But first, before we get into the show today, if you're watching this video on YouTube right now,

00:01:49.220 Okay, so this is the big story of the week, and this is just the CBC being the CBC.

00:01:53.800 The CBC sees themselves as the arbiter of truth,

00:01:56.700 they also apparently see themselves as the arbiter of the English language.

00:02:00.400 So here, CBC Ottawa has put together a list of words that you should just stop using.

00:02:06.060 They're not even hiding their hatred of free speech, they're putting it right out there,

00:02:10.480 they've come up with a ridiculous list that talks about the historical and cultural problematic words

00:02:17.020 that we should just all stop using.

00:02:19.140 You know, the funny thing about this story, when I first saw it, it just gave me the creeps.

00:02:23.920 It gives me chills when I see CBC pushing this kind of nonsense,

00:02:28.000 because to some people out there, they'll see a story like this,

00:02:31.200 and they'll take it seriously, they'll take it to heart.

00:02:32.840 Nobody wants to be racist, nobody wants to be out of date,

00:02:35.560 and using terms that could accidentally offend somebody.

00:02:38.540 But what this story does, and the reason it gave me chills,

00:02:42.360 is because the purpose of it isn't just to inform the reader or educate us.

00:02:47.700 No, the purpose is to instill fear in society, instill fear in the reader,

00:02:51.940 to say, if you use these words, you are a racist.

00:02:55.500 And the purpose is to play on that fear that people have,

00:02:58.340 and therefore it does have a chilling effect on speech,

00:03:01.260 it has a chilling effect on our freedom to think.

00:03:03.780 Jordan Peterson talks about this phenomenon,

00:03:05.580 that in order to be able to be free, you have to be able to think,

00:03:09.600 in order to be able to think, you have to be able to speak.

00:03:11.700 And sometimes you say things that don't come out right,

00:03:13.840 and that is part of the process in a free society of coming to terms,

00:03:17.600 of processing new information, and having debates in civil society.

00:03:21.120 So this sort of thing is just so creepy and so wrong,

00:03:23.200 but I think when CBC puts stuff like this out, it has the adverse effect,

00:03:27.380 because almost everyone I saw commenting on this,

00:03:29.860 almost anyone who shared it with me,

00:03:31.880 people who I saw sharing it on social media,

00:03:34.260 the unanimous response to it was to make fun of it,

00:03:37.240 to laugh at it, not to take it seriously.

00:03:39.240 So that's good.

00:03:40.240 That's a good sign that people aren't taking this seriously.

00:03:42.480 But regardless, it's still worth going through,

00:03:44.100 because this is the kind of thing that the CBC thinks is news.

00:03:46.860 This is the kind of thing that the CBC spends its resources,

00:03:49.680 your resources, taxpayer resources,

00:03:51.560 on coming up with a list to accuse Canadians of being racist,

00:03:54.420 to hector us, and to shame us, and to try to get us to change our language.

00:03:59.220 So here's the article.

00:04:01.120 It says,

00:04:01.980 Have you ever casually used the term spirit animal,

00:04:04.740 first word problems, or spooky?

00:04:06.600 It might be time to rethink your use of these phrases

00:04:09.440 and remove them from your daily lingo.

00:04:12.200 CBC Ottawa compiled a small list of words submitted by readers

00:04:15.640 and some of our journalists who are Black, Indigenous, or people of colour.

00:04:19.040 We ran some of the words by anti-racism language experts

00:04:22.700 who said some of these phrases can be hurtful to various groups of people

00:04:26.100 for their historical and cultural context.

00:04:29.660 Okay, so, and then it goes on to interview one such anti-racist language expert.

00:04:37.040 And here that person says,

00:04:38.900 Being an English speaker doesn't entail you to necessarily know

00:04:41.600 the racist etymology automatically,

00:04:44.400 said this linguist and associate language professor

00:04:47.020 at the University of Toronto, Mississauga.

00:04:49.060 So etymology is a study of the origin of words

00:04:51.680 and the way their meanings change over time.

00:04:54.780 The fact that you said it oblivious to the etymology

00:04:56.920 doesn't automatically make you a bad person.

00:05:00.020 So it's interesting because they're talking about the etymology,

00:05:02.280 which is sort of just like a niche academic area

00:05:04.560 for people that are really interested in the English language.

00:05:08.140 They're saying that you shouldn't be an expert on it,

00:05:10.220 but maybe you should become aware.

00:05:11.560 But then the interesting thing is

00:05:12.880 so many of the words that they list,

00:05:15.400 the etymology isn't racist.

00:05:16.760 It isn't racist, it just sounds like something else

00:05:18.720 that might have been racist.

00:05:19.720 And so we'll go through some of these words

00:05:21.780 and you can learn how ridiculous they are. 0.50

00:05:23.800 So they start off with the words

00:05:24.940 blackmail, blacklist, and black sheep.

00:05:28.100 And we hear from another anti-racism expert,

00:05:31.360 The issue here is that these are all negative terms.

00:05:33.880 It connotates evil, distrust,

00:05:35.340 a lack of intelligence, ignorance,

00:05:37.220 a lack of beauty, the absence of white.

00:05:39.760 Black became associated with a particular group of people

00:05:42.260 and that group of people received

00:05:43.660 all the negative connotations.

00:05:44.960 That's why we try to move away from these types of words.

00:05:47.660 And then they come up with a bunch of words

00:05:50.280 that you should use instead.

00:05:51.120 So instead of saying whitelist and blacklist

00:05:53.460 when you're talking about

00:05:54.180 whether maybe you're going to hire someone,

00:05:56.260 instead they want you to use blocklist,

00:05:58.060 denylist, and allowlist,

00:05:59.820 which just doesn't really have the same ring to it at all.

00:06:03.120 So again, remember we were told

00:06:04.720 that we're supposed to know the etymology of words

00:06:07.340 to find out that they're racist.

00:06:08.340 Well, here's an example of something

00:06:09.720 that has nothing to do with the etymology of these words.

00:06:12.420 They're just talking about the colors.

00:06:13.740 And to be fair, it's sort of an interesting argument

00:06:15.880 when it comes to myths and stories in our society

00:06:18.640 and the imagery associated with that.

00:06:20.840 There typically is a dichotomy between good and bad,

00:06:24.340 evil and good.

00:06:25.660 Black and white are used as sort of symbols for that.

00:06:29.220 But to me, it doesn't really have anything

00:06:31.180 to do with race at all.

00:06:32.580 It has more to do with just the nature.

00:06:34.960 Nighttime darkness, of course,

00:06:36.500 there is symbolism there

00:06:38.000 of something being dark and negative.

00:06:40.140 And then when it comes to light and daytime,

00:06:43.580 that of course is going to have positive connotations

00:06:46.620 and it helps with storytelling.

00:06:47.840 It doesn't really have anything to do with race whatsoever.

00:06:50.240 So again, they're talking about the etymology

00:06:52.660 and then the examples they give

00:06:54.020 have nothing to do with that.

00:06:55.500 Okay, let's go to a few more.

00:06:57.260 They say ghetto and inner city.

00:06:59.340 So one of their anti-racist experts says

00:07:01.240 terms like ghetto and inner city

00:07:03.560 grew out of the industrial revolution in North America.

00:07:06.620 The word ghetto also has a painful historical root

00:07:09.660 in Europe during the Holocaust

00:07:11.000 and was likely derived from Jewish settlements

00:07:13.540 in Italy centuries ago.

00:07:15.620 Gettos and inner cities were typically seen

00:07:17.680 as places where less refined people lived,

00:07:19.820 the people who weren't up to date

00:07:21.560 culturally developmental wise, he said.

00:07:24.000 So we're not supposed to use terms like ghetto

00:07:26.420 because it can apply negative connotation

00:07:29.020 towards racialized people.

00:07:31.020 I mean, this is sort of an interesting argument as well.

00:07:33.240 Most people don't know that the word ghetto

00:07:34.580 has its roots in Europe.

00:07:36.320 It doesn't come from North America at all.

00:07:38.220 And when you're reading historical documents

00:07:40.240 or reading about exactly what they say here

00:07:43.380 in Jews and in Europe, where the Jews lived,

00:07:46.540 they used to call them the ghettos.

00:07:48.500 And so they don't really make a good case

00:07:50.660 as to why not to use this other than that,

00:07:52.580 what it might sound, classist or something.

00:07:54.120 I mean, most people who use the term ghetto

00:07:55.540 use it in jest anyways,

00:07:57.040 and it's not really meant to be hurtful at all.

00:07:59.200 Okay, okay, let's move on.

00:08:00.820 The next one here is spooky.

00:08:02.060 Spooky, so according to the dictionary,

00:08:04.900 the term spooky means a sinister or ghostly

00:08:07.160 in a way that causes fear or unease,

00:08:09.120 or it could be easily frightened and nervous.

00:08:12.220 So that's what the word means.

00:08:13.700 But CBC has come up with some different meaning.

00:08:16.200 It says that the term spook has a history

00:08:18.440 of being an anti-Black slur

00:08:20.280 when white soldiers began calling fellow Black soldiers

00:08:23.300 spooks during World War II.

00:08:25.140 It's offensive because of who and what it used to apply to,

00:08:28.640 said this anti-racist expert.

00:08:30.160 So again, nothing to do with the term spooky.

00:08:33.640 It just sort of sounds like a different word

00:08:35.860 that people used a hundred years ago

00:08:37.500 that nobody uses anymore.

00:08:39.560 So I don't really understand

00:08:41.140 why we wouldn't be able to use the term spooky

00:08:43.460 in a totally different context,

00:08:44.800 talking about something totally different.

00:08:46.520 This is, again, nothing to do with etymology,

00:08:49.400 everything to do with the CBC hectoring people

00:08:51.320 and accusing everyone of being racist.

00:08:53.700 I mean, if you go on, another one here,

00:08:55.500 grandfathered in, phrases like grandfathered in

00:08:57.540 and date back to the 19th century policy

00:08:59.300 called the Grandfather Clause,

00:09:01.260 which indirectly stopped Black Americans

00:09:03.540 from voting by limiting their eligibility

00:09:06.400 of who could vote based on their ancestors.

00:09:09.620 I can't imagine anybody in the world

00:09:11.160 other than someone who gets paid

00:09:12.460 to be an anti-racist expert

00:09:14.160 who would hear the term grandfathered in

00:09:17.020 and think back to something that happened

00:09:18.640 in the 19th century and say,

00:09:20.700 yeah, you know what?

00:09:21.500 You're racist for using that term.

00:09:22.820 So ridiculous.

00:09:23.480 These people have way too much time on their hands.

00:09:26.260 They've created an entire profession here,

00:09:28.400 anti-racist experts,

00:09:29.740 whose entire job is just to come up with stuff

00:09:32.200 to accuse people of being racist.

00:09:33.980 And this is the best they can come up with.

00:09:35.320 This is the best that they found.

00:09:36.600 We're not supposed to use terms like spirit animal,

00:09:39.020 powwow, or tribe because cultural appropriation,

00:09:42.380 I guess we're not supposed to do that.

00:09:44.000 And this is one that people were making fun of quite a bit.

00:09:48.820 First world problem.

00:09:50.020 We're not supposed to do that

00:09:50.980 because it shows our privilege.

00:09:52.560 It's funny because usually people use the term

00:09:54.580 first world problem in a self-deprecating way

00:09:57.140 to talk about how the things that are upsetting them

00:09:59.620 aren't real problems in the scale of things,

00:10:01.960 the scope of things.

00:10:02.480 So it actually does get people thinking

00:10:03.920 about how silly their problems may seem

00:10:06.540 compared to real suffering out there.

00:10:08.320 Like, for instance,

00:10:09.400 I'm ordering new furniture for my house,

00:10:11.160 but there were all kinds of supply chain issues

00:10:13.620 with the ports and because of COVID

00:10:15.660 and because of the holidays.

00:10:16.880 And so because of it,

00:10:17.800 a lot of the furniture that I ordered

00:10:19.100 isn't going to be here in time

00:10:20.500 for us having guests at the holidays, right?

00:10:23.600 This, in a nutshell, is a first world problem.

00:10:25.720 You know, it's frustrating for me,

00:10:28.020 but, you know, I have some context here

00:10:30.620 and I know that there are real people suffering out there.

00:10:33.300 So again, saying that using this term is classist,

00:10:37.000 no, it's the opposite.

00:10:38.080 It's being aware that the problems you have

00:10:40.400 pale in comparison to other problems in the world.

00:10:43.560 So CBC just really being out of touch.

00:10:47.200 Okay, next, we're not supposed to say brainstorm,

00:10:49.420 blind, decided, or blind spot.

00:10:52.260 This is funny.

00:10:53.280 Okay, because the prefix blind is offensive to blind people.

00:10:56.840 Okay, and using the term brainstorm

00:10:58.660 could be insensitive to those who have brain injuries

00:11:02.240 or who aren't neurodiverse.

00:11:04.980 Okay, so basically you can't say anything

00:11:07.020 about anything that could offend anyone.

00:11:09.000 That's basically the gist of the CBC's story.

00:11:12.820 And at the bottom here,

00:11:14.000 we are reminded that this is part

00:11:15.400 of their Being Black in Canada series.

00:11:17.600 So for more stories about the experiences

00:11:20.060 of Black Canadians from anti-Black racism

00:11:22.100 to success stories in the Black community,

00:11:24.360 check out Being Black in Canada.

00:11:26.060 A CBC project, Black Canadians can be proud of it 1.00

00:11:28.940 and you see a bunch of the Marxist revolutionary arms

00:11:31.860 up in the air.

00:11:33.120 Again, the CBC created this idea

00:11:35.520 that they're gonna have an entire section

00:11:37.260 on what it's like to be Black in Canada

00:11:39.080 and they're kind of running out of ideas.

00:11:40.620 So this is the kind of stuff they come up with.

00:11:43.080 It is completely ridiculous,

00:11:44.500 deserving of all the mockery that it is receiving online.

00:11:47.780 Okay, moving on.

00:11:48.440 I wanna talk about the story

00:11:49.260 that completely preoccupied

00:11:51.060 and captivated Permanent Hill this week.

00:11:53.080 You know, last week we were told by the legacy media

00:11:55.520 and the liberals over and over and over again

00:11:57.280 that the biggest story in the country

00:11:58.640 was the vaccine status

00:12:00.220 and the medical health exemptions of conservative MPs.

00:12:02.960 Of course, it was a total distraction.

00:12:04.480 Not the kind of thing that people are sitting

00:12:06.500 around the dinner table talking about.

00:12:08.060 However, that's what the media wanted you to care about.

00:12:10.360 They wanted to distract you with that.

00:12:11.620 This week, it was like that

00:12:12.760 with the conversion therapy bill.

00:12:14.900 So from my understanding of this bill,

00:12:16.160 the liberals devised a bill.

00:12:18.040 The entire purpose of it was to trap the Tories.

00:12:20.720 So they deceptively named it

00:12:22.400 the conversion therapy bill,

00:12:24.020 or that's what they started calling it,

00:12:25.460 in the media.

00:12:26.740 And they knew it was overstepping.

00:12:28.780 They knew that it was something

00:12:29.580 that the conservatives would instinctively reject

00:12:32.040 because it was an attack

00:12:33.500 on religious institutions and religious freedom.

00:12:35.700 And there was a chilling effect

00:12:37.860 on freedom of speech as well

00:12:38.980 because, as I'll explain what the bill does,

00:12:41.840 it prevents fully consenting adults

00:12:44.320 from engaging into conversations

00:12:46.160 when it comes to gender identity

00:12:47.800 and sexual orientation.

00:12:50.240 And so it was devised as a wedge.

00:12:52.880 It was devised as a trap by the liberals.

00:12:54.620 The first two times the liberals

00:12:55.900 brought this forward,

00:12:56.960 conservatives, many conservatives opposed it.

00:12:59.380 They had a vote on this on June 22nd,

00:13:01.480 and it resulted in 263 in favor of the bill,

00:13:05.740 63 opposed.

00:13:06.780 So 62 conservative MPs

00:13:09.080 and one independent voted against

00:13:10.540 what was then called Bill C-6.

00:13:13.420 And so the bill failed to go through parliament

00:13:15.380 the first time because Trudeau

00:13:16.700 prorogued the parliament,

00:13:18.240 the second time because the 2021 election.

00:13:21.000 So we've seen this bill.

00:13:22.460 This is the third time this week

00:13:23.840 that it was sort of introduced.

00:13:25.080 It's now called Bill C-4,

00:13:26.100 but it used to be called Bill C-6.

00:13:28.400 And so before I talk about

00:13:30.160 what happened this week,

00:13:31.360 let me just talk about

00:13:32.340 the previous conservative opposition to this.

00:13:34.860 So one of the 62 MPs that opposed it

00:13:37.680 was Alberta MP Garnett Jenis.

00:13:39.620 Garnett is a friend, friend of the show,

00:13:41.480 and he was one of the leading conservative MPs

00:13:44.440 who advocate against this bill.

00:13:46.020 The tagline of his campaign

00:13:47.160 was called Fix the Definition.

00:13:49.240 This is all from Garnett Jenis.

00:13:50.700 This is not from me.

00:13:51.520 This is from him.

00:13:52.380 So these are quotes.

00:13:53.200 This is what he said.

00:13:54.160 All politicians oppose conversion therapy

00:13:56.380 in principle,

00:13:56.980 but Bill C-6 proposes to use

00:13:59.420 an overreaching definition

00:14:00.660 of conversion therapy

00:14:01.720 that would needlessly criminalize

00:14:03.600 normal conversations

00:14:04.960 between children and their parents,

00:14:06.600 teachers, counselors, and mentors

00:14:08.220 about gender and sexual behavior.

00:14:11.360 Let's fix the definition.

00:14:13.140 Bill C-6 could open the door

00:14:14.640 for law enforcement

00:14:15.740 to tap into private family communication

00:14:18.880 to investigate discussions

00:14:20.620 that might fit the bill's broad definition

00:14:22.640 of conversion therapy.

00:14:23.860 Further, while Bill C-6 expressly allows

00:14:27.160 counseling, medical, and surgical efforts

00:14:29.520 to change a child's gender,

00:14:31.180 it expressly prohibits any support

00:14:33.260 for a child seeking to detransition

00:14:35.660 back to their birth gender. 0.98

00:14:37.700 If passed, Bill C-6 could restrict

00:14:39.640 the choices of LGBTQ2 Canadians

00:14:42.880 concerning sexuality and gender

00:14:45.040 by prohibiting access to any professional

00:14:47.320 or spiritual support freely chosen

00:14:49.980 to limit sexual behavior or detransition.

00:14:53.120 So, pretty compelling stuff here, right?

00:14:55.040 What the conservatives are saying

00:14:56.480 is that the liberals have written this bill

00:14:58.320 in a very clunky way.

00:14:59.420 The definition is too broad.

00:15:00.980 It could criminalize regular conversation

00:15:03.520 with people that are confused,

00:15:05.340 kids that are confused.

00:15:06.080 Let's be honest.

00:15:07.100 Part of what the left does,

00:15:08.280 part of their MO,

00:15:09.100 is to sort of create confusion,

00:15:11.040 sexual confusion.

00:15:11.820 They say, just because you're born a boy

00:15:13.520 doesn't mean that you're a boy.

00:15:14.440 You could be a girl in a boy's body. 0.99

00:15:15.620 You could be a boy in a girl's body. 0.99

00:15:17.540 You know, you don't have to just be

00:15:19.180 attracted to the other sex.

00:15:20.380 You could be attracted to multiple different sexes

00:15:22.880 and look at the 72 different types of gender

00:15:25.140 that we have.

00:15:26.040 Look at the 72 different types

00:15:27.420 of sexual orientation you can be.

00:15:29.540 I mean, they're creating confusion.

00:15:31.840 And then if a kid wants to go

00:15:33.220 and talk to someone about it,

00:15:34.260 their parents, a counselor,

00:15:36.080 someone in their church,

00:15:37.280 that could be criminalized. 0.79

00:15:38.300 I mean, again,

00:15:39.100 this isn't really an important issue to me.

00:15:40.620 I know there's so many other important issues out there,

00:15:42.720 but based on the conservatives' own opposition

00:15:44.340 of this bill, it makes sense.

00:15:45.720 And I found that Garnet Jennings' campaign that he ran

00:15:48.640 and the whole fix-the-definition thing was logical.

00:15:50.980 It seemed like this is the kind of thing

00:15:52.600 that conservatives should oppose.

00:15:54.620 So forgive my confusion this week

00:15:56.900 when a conservative MP, Rob Moore,

00:15:59.740 made an announcement on the floor of the House of Commons

00:16:01.760 saying that he would like to introduce a motion

00:16:04.000 to fast-track this bill.

00:16:05.680 He wants to fast-track it straight to the Senate,

00:16:07.780 holding no vote in the House of Commons.

00:16:09.720 And the MPs were given the opportunity

00:16:11.460 to either say yes, let's just give it to the Senate,

00:16:14.780 or no, let's continue debating it

00:16:16.460 and have a proper debate.

00:16:18.240 And so I'll show you the clip.

00:16:19.600 This is what it looks like.

00:16:20.580 This is the House of Commons.

00:16:22.400 This is all of the MPs,

00:16:24.360 Conservative, Liberal, NDP, Green,

00:16:26.680 Bloc, and Independent, 0.99

00:16:28.040 all of them giving this motion unanimous consent,

00:16:30.920 meaning, no, we don't want to have a record.

00:16:32.960 We don't want to have a vote.

00:16:33.960 Let's just say yes to this bill,

00:16:36.480 all in accordance with each other,

00:16:37.800 and allow it to go into the Senate.

00:16:39.440 So here's what that looked like.

00:16:42.180 Mr. Speaker, I'm asking for unanimous consent

00:16:44.540 to adopt the following motion,

00:16:45.960 that notwithstanding any standing order

00:16:47.900 or usual practices of the House,

00:16:50.540 Bill C-4, an act to amend the Criminal Code,

00:16:52.960 conversion therapy,

00:16:53.940 be deemed to have been read a second time

00:16:55.940 and referred to a committee of the whole,

00:16:58.020 deemed considered in committee of the whole,

00:16:59.920 deemed reported without amendment,

00:17:02.460 deemed concurred in at the report stage,

00:17:04.580 and deemed read a third time and passed.

00:17:09.440 This being a hybrid sitting of the House

00:17:23.540 for the sake of clarity,

00:17:24.960 I will only ask those who are opposed to the request

00:17:27.420 to express their disagreement.

00:17:30.100 Accordingly, all those opposed to the Honourable Member

00:17:32.760 moving the motion will please say nay.

00:17:35.900 Agreed.

00:17:36.820 The House has heard the terms of the motion.

00:17:40.340 All those opposed to the motion will please say nay.

00:17:44.900 There being no dissenting voice,

00:17:46.480 I declare the motion carried.

00:17:50.500 And here you can see all of the members of Parliament

00:17:53.180 standing up, cheering.

00:17:54.840 Look at these people.

00:17:55.780 It looks like they've just solved world peace

00:17:58.000 or like they've just ended world hunger or something.

00:18:00.100 They're all so excited.

00:18:01.420 They're jumping up and down.

00:18:02.400 They're hugging each other.

00:18:03.500 They're clad-handing.

00:18:04.800 We did it.

00:18:05.560 We all came together to pass this super liberal progressive bill

00:18:09.500 that may have a chilling impact on free speech.

00:18:12.020 It may criminalize normal conversations

00:18:14.520 between little kids and their parents,

00:18:16.400 teenagers and their counsellors,

00:18:18.500 or if someone wants to go talk to someone in their church

00:18:21.220 about gender or sexuality,

00:18:23.660 it could all be illegal,

00:18:24.740 according to Garnet Jennings' previous campaign.

00:18:28.020 And yet, for some reason,

00:18:29.260 they're all just so ecstatic that they're on the same team.

00:18:32.020 You can see dancing.

00:18:33.760 There's Michelle Rumpel in a red blazer. 0.60

00:18:35.400 She's dancing around,

00:18:36.760 you know, jumping up and down.

00:18:38.460 Look at them.

00:18:39.020 They're still clapping.

00:18:40.060 They're giving themselves a two-minute standing ovation

00:18:42.880 for all being so progressive and liberal.

00:18:46.360 This is not what you want from your government.

00:18:49.580 This is not what you want from conservatives.

00:18:51.140 This is not what you want from the official opposition.

00:18:53.660 The reason in Canada that we have an official opposition

00:18:57.420 is to oppose bills.

00:18:59.280 There are very few times where you want unanimous consent

00:19:01.520 in the House of Commons.

00:19:02.700 Maybe when we're talking about going to war against an enemy,

00:19:05.880 or maybe when we're talking about

00:19:07.340 a grand national project going together.

00:19:10.260 Those may be the one or two exceptions.

00:19:12.920 Otherwise, the reason they're called the official opposition,

00:19:15.480 the reason we have an official opposition

00:19:17.080 in our parliamentary system,

00:19:18.860 is to oppose bills.

00:19:20.560 Exactly what the conservatives did the first two times

00:19:23.300 this bill was presented.

00:19:25.380 But this time around,

00:19:26.940 maybe because Aaron O'Toole demanded

00:19:29.140 that they all vote this way,

00:19:30.180 maybe because they lost the will to fight,

00:19:31.980 maybe because they just wanted to give up,

00:19:33.700 maybe because they wanted a feel-good moment.

00:19:35.360 As you can see, they're all jumping around

00:19:37.320 and congratulating themselves.

00:19:39.460 Regardless, this is not what you want to see

00:19:41.340 from conservatives.

00:19:42.220 And I know this isn't really fake news.

00:19:43.920 When fringe activists, left-wing journalists

00:19:45.800 like Justin Ling are congratulating you,

00:19:48.640 you know you've done something wrong.

00:19:49.660 So here's Justin Ling.

00:19:50.620 He says,

00:19:51.420 Just a positive, nice thing from the conservatives

00:19:54.300 quelling their internal skeptics

00:19:56.180 to do the right thing

00:19:57.500 to the liberals prioritizing

00:19:59.320 getting the thing passed over dragging it out

00:20:01.640 and the general unanimity of it all.

00:20:05.020 And the conservatives were the ones

00:20:06.660 that sought unanimous consent.

00:20:08.120 Just makes your heart warm a bit, doesn't it?

00:20:10.540 No, this is not what you want as conservatives.

00:20:12.400 This is not what you want.

00:20:13.220 You want them to oppose.

00:20:14.220 You want them to fight,

00:20:15.760 to protect free speech,

00:20:17.240 to protect the religious freedom,

00:20:18.740 to protect little kids

00:20:20.800 from being able to talk it out

00:20:22.360 and talk to people

00:20:23.260 before going ahead

00:20:25.200 with whatever it is they're going ahead with.

00:20:27.760 And here's more of the legacy media

00:20:30.040 congratulating the conservatives

00:20:31.200 for being more like liberals.

00:20:33.080 Liberals thank conservatives

00:20:34.220 who champion conversion therapy bill

00:20:36.120 as it passes the House.

00:20:37.620 So they're all celebrating.

00:20:38.580 They're all feeling warm and fuzzy together.

00:20:40.940 But let me just say,

00:20:41.680 when conservatives seek strange new respect like this,

00:20:43.700 when they bow to the liberals,

00:20:45.180 when they bow to the legacy media,

00:20:46.740 this sort of positivity,

00:20:48.760 this good press,

00:20:49.440 it lasts for about a minute.

00:20:50.880 And then the media will go back

00:20:52.760 to bashing conservatives

00:20:53.880 and the liberals will go back

00:20:55.060 to coming up with new wedge issues

00:20:56.940 to trap the conservatives.

00:20:58.380 This is the name of the game.

00:20:59.680 The conservatives failed this week.

00:21:01.060 They fell into the trap.

00:21:02.380 And Canadians deserve so much more

00:21:04.280 from the party that we call

00:21:05.640 the official opposition.

00:21:06.780 Okay, final story I want to talk about.

00:21:08.660 I know we don't have much time left on the program,

00:21:10.480 so I'll go through it pretty quickly here.

00:21:11.880 But here is another story from the CBC

00:21:15.160 from their series called Being Black in Canada.

00:21:18.580 Here it says,

00:21:19.440 for BIPOC employees,

00:21:20.980 remote work meant a welcome break

00:21:22.840 from office microaggressions.

00:21:25.360 So BIPOC for people who aren't hip 1.00

00:21:27.520 on the leftist lingo

00:21:29.220 and all of their obsession with weird acronyms.

00:21:33.560 BIPOC means Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.

00:21:36.200 And I know you might be confused

00:21:37.340 because wouldn't a person of color

00:21:39.300 include someone who's Black and Indigenous?

00:21:41.180 Well, of course, these things are never logical.

00:21:43.800 So yes, they called this group of people BIPOC.

00:21:46.220 Again, going with the left's obsession

00:21:47.780 of separating us,

00:21:49.380 putting us into little categories

00:21:50.700 and trying to pit us against each other.

00:21:52.660 So here we have an entire article

00:21:54.800 written about an angry person

00:21:56.400 who says that working in an office

00:21:58.880 is filled with discrimination.

00:22:00.960 And she was just so happy

00:22:02.040 to get to work from home

00:22:03.140 because she didn't have to deal

00:22:04.340 with all of the microaggressions,

00:22:05.940 all of the racism

00:22:06.800 from all of the people around her.

00:22:08.240 She could just sit at home

00:22:09.400 and she didn't have to be worried about it.

00:22:11.600 So here it says,

00:22:12.700 as a Black woman in the corporate world,

00:22:14.820 Mila, age 35,

00:22:16.200 knows what it's like

00:22:17.200 to experience microaggressions at work.

00:22:19.560 And if you don't know,

00:22:20.700 microaggression is just simply

00:22:22.100 when someone says something

00:22:24.060 with no racist intent,

00:22:25.680 no bad intent,

00:22:26.440 but the person misconstrues that

00:22:29.220 or digs in a meaning that isn't there

00:22:31.300 to determine that the person must be racist.

00:22:33.800 It's just like anyone

00:22:34.560 who used those words and phrases

00:22:36.260 from the first segment there

00:22:37.760 that you might not even know it,

00:22:39.380 you might not even feel it,

00:22:40.840 but by saying something,

00:22:43.280 it's a social faux pas

00:22:44.200 and it means that deep down you're racist.

00:22:46.020 So that in a nutshell

00:22:46.880 is what a microaggression is.

00:22:48.720 And so she says,

00:22:49.980 I cannot tell you how many times

00:22:51.780 someone has come up to me

00:22:53.060 and touched my hair.

00:22:55.020 So touching someone's hair

00:22:56.260 is a microaggression.

00:22:57.120 Usually microaggressions

00:22:58.200 are much more subtle forms

00:22:59.600 of discrimination,

00:23:00.540 such as confusing one person

00:23:02.440 for another person

00:23:03.660 or one racialized co-worker

00:23:05.420 for another by a white manager

00:23:07.640 or being scrutinized by security

00:23:09.800 or having your name

00:23:10.840 constantly mispronounced.

00:23:13.500 Working from home

00:23:14.380 throughout the pandemic

00:23:15.280 made it easier

00:23:16.240 to avoid such behavior.

00:23:18.220 I would say that on Zoom,

00:23:19.300 I didn't really have the thought like,

00:23:20.940 oh, I'm the only woman of color here

00:23:22.760 and maybe that's because

00:23:23.780 I felt safer in my own space.

00:23:25.940 Okay, here's a person

00:23:26.740 who is so sheltered,

00:23:28.440 so unprepared to deal

00:23:30.280 with the real world

00:23:31.120 that they can't handle

00:23:32.480 day-to-day things that happen,

00:23:34.320 things that happen to everyone,

00:23:35.620 by the way.

00:23:36.040 Yes, sometimes people

00:23:37.180 mispronounce by name.

00:23:38.060 Maybe it doesn't happen as much

00:23:39.200 to someone who has

00:23:40.120 a more challenging name,

00:23:41.300 but these kind of things

00:23:42.160 are very minor

00:23:43.360 in the scale of things.

00:23:44.800 I might even say

00:23:45.860 that they are first world problem.

00:23:47.920 And yet here we have

00:23:48.640 an entire CBC story

00:23:50.000 telling us about

00:23:50.740 how awful it is

00:23:51.800 to not be white 0.85

00:23:53.040 and how racism is so awful

00:23:54.800 and working from home

00:23:55.940 just gave these individuals

00:23:57.760 a reprieve

00:23:58.840 from all the terrible racists

00:24:00.260 around them.

00:24:01.120 in Canada.

00:24:02.300 And that's CBC in a nutshell.

00:24:03.900 They live for this kind of thing.

00:24:04.840 They love identity politics.

00:24:06.280 They love to divide us.

00:24:07.620 Hence why they have

00:24:08.660 an entire series

00:24:09.540 called Being Black in Canada.

00:24:11.140 The entire purpose of it

00:24:12.300 is just to go out there

00:24:13.600 and try to find examples

00:24:14.860 of how horrible

00:24:16.060 and racist Canadians are. 0.61

00:24:17.460 If this is the worst

00:24:18.440 that they can come up with,

00:24:19.160 this is the worst stuff

00:24:20.040 that they can find,

00:24:20.820 I think we're in pretty good shape

00:24:22.120 as a country,

00:24:23.040 regardless of what the CBC

00:24:24.300 is trying to do,

00:24:24.880 which is pit us all

00:24:25.540 against each other.

00:24:26.420 The reality is that

00:24:27.500 things aren't that bad.

00:24:28.420 Things are pretty good

00:24:29.120 in Canada.

00:24:29.940 Thank you so much

00:24:30.560 for tuning in.
