00:00:00.120 Heavy-handed holiday rules for thee, trips to Tofino for me.
00:00:04.020 Happy Thanksgiving, I'm Candice Malcolm and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.
00:00:11.900 Everyone, thank you so much for tuning in to The Candice Malcolm Show.
00:00:14.780 I hope everyone out there had a wonderful, truly wonderful Thanksgiving long weekend.
00:00:19.720 I hope you were able to gather with your loved ones, your friends, your family,
00:00:23.040 whoever you could be with and I hope you had a wonderful time together.
00:00:26.640 I love Thanksgiving. It is one of my favorite days of the year, favorite holidays,
00:00:30.960 because it gives us time to pause and reflect upon our life and the world that we live in.
00:00:37.220 It makes us remember to be grateful and to show gratitude for the things in our lives.
00:00:42.180 For me, I'm so blessed. I feel so thankful, so lucky to be in the situation that I'm in.
00:00:48.580 I have a wonderful family, really supportive, loving parents, great siblings who are my best friends.
00:00:54.020 I have a really, truly amazing husband. He's a wonderful human being and he's so incredibly supportive for me and everything I do
00:01:03.540 and incredibly hardworking and devoted in his own life. He's a great dad.
00:01:08.800 We have two wonderful little kids who just bring us so much joy every single day, every single moment of every day.
00:01:15.660 And I'm truly blessed. That's just on my family side.
00:01:18.580 I also feel incredibly grateful for True North, for the work that we were able to do day in, day out,
00:01:24.500 the wonderful team that we have at True North who works so hard to bring you the news and to help put together everything.
00:01:31.060 And of course, to you, the viewers, to the people who support True North, who see our vision,
00:01:36.200 who recognize the need for independent media in Canada, and the people who support us,
00:01:40.820 the people who donate their own hard-earned money and entrust it to us, to our organization,
00:01:46.340 to provide the news and to provide analysis of Canadian political news.
00:01:51.960 You know, it's really, really something special to build up a company and to have so many people out there
00:01:56.840 who believe in what we believe in, especially in today's time.
00:02:01.500 Because, look, things are rough out there.
00:02:04.920 We've been 18 months into this pandemic.
00:02:08.220 Our society has truly changed.
00:02:09.740 The way that individual liberties and freedoms have slipped away so quickly,
00:02:14.340 the way that so many people have turned to this sort of heavy-handed authoritarian measures
00:02:19.640 when it comes to keeping everyone safe.
00:02:21.940 And we're going to go through that on the show today, talk about some of those heavy-handed measures.
00:02:25.720 It's really scary out there.
00:02:27.180 And I think that the important thing is that people stick together.
00:02:30.880 People use their voice together to speak out against the madness out there,
00:02:36.100 that we recognize the things that are truly important in our lives, like our families and our friends,
00:02:40.840 and that we not let this fear, this over-heavy-handed, this impulse to have heavy-handed rules,
00:02:45.540 this impulse to control everyone around you,
00:02:49.160 and to say that we cannot leave our homes until there's no risk whatsoever of getting sick
00:02:54.620 or anything bad happening.
00:02:56.260 And we have these sort of morbid death counts hanging over our heads,
00:03:01.020 as if we lived in a society or a world where people don't die.
00:03:03.840 I mean, that's the reality of the world that we live in,
00:03:06.620 is that people die every single day of lots of different causes.
00:03:09.600 That's part of the risk of life.
00:03:11.380 And yet you go on.
00:03:12.520 You take that risk into account when you live your life.
00:03:15.180 We've seen a really uneasy reversal and sort of impulse, again, to try to control everything.
00:03:21.300 And it's scary.
00:03:23.060 It's a totalitarian impulse that exists in our society, and we have to be vigilant against it.
00:03:28.960 So I think part of the problem in society right now with cancel culture and the woke mob
00:03:34.060 is that they show no gratitude.
00:03:35.620 They show no gratitude to the people who have come before us, to historical figures.
00:03:39.420 They judge everybody by today's woke, progressive, politically correct standards.
00:03:43.920 And they apply those to people in the past who had very different norms and very different standards
00:03:49.540 in terms of what was normal and what was allowed back then.
00:03:52.920 And we apply those.
00:03:54.380 There's a total lack of gratitude for the institutions and the society and the world we live in.
00:04:00.480 Is it perfect?
00:04:01.360 No, it's not perfect at all.
00:04:02.700 And we can always strive to improve it and make it better for everybody.
00:04:05.780 But to say, you know, there are some problems today, and therefore we have to erase our history,
00:04:11.860 tear down every institution, and try to start again is completely utopian thinking it's wrong.
00:04:17.660 Fundamentally, at the root of it, it's because of a lack of gratitude, a lack of stopping,
00:04:23.280 pausing, and saying, you know, there are great things about our society that we should be appreciative of.
00:04:27.680 Look at so many other places around the world that don't have the same standards,
00:04:31.280 the same institutions, the same concepts of Western liberal democracy,
00:04:34.420 and the rule of law that we have in the West, in Canada.
00:04:38.360 And because they don't see that, they don't appreciate it, they want to tear it down.
00:04:41.640 And I think our society, our civilization, Canada, the West,
00:04:45.440 we would be on a lot stronger footing if we just all showed a little bit more gratitude and gratefulness.
00:04:51.180 And that's, again, why I think Thanksgiving is so important.

00:05:33.340 So because it's Thanksgiving and because the world has gone mad in many ways,
00:05:37.420 I want to dedicate the show almost like a Fake News Friday version of the show,
00:05:41.940 but we're going to talk about some of the measures that were in place in regards to Thanksgiving.
00:05:46.700 Because even though we just came out of a federal election,
00:05:50.260 where the candidates traveled all over the country,
00:05:52.720 where there were big campaign events,
00:05:54.340 where there were rallies, where there were speeches,
00:05:56.840 where there were whistle stops, they call them,
00:05:59.100 when the candidates and the leaders of the parties show up at different campaign stations,
00:06:04.260 different towns, it was like a normal election.
00:06:06.400 I mean, there were some aspects of it that were different.
00:06:08.840 You know, Aaron O'Toole had that big swanky studio that they set up in Ottawa,
00:06:13.120 and he did a lot of his events there.
00:06:14.680 He did these sort of digital town hall meetings with different Canadians across the country.
00:06:19.820 However, you know, it was still a pretty normal election, all things considered.
00:06:24.900 And so, you know, our politicians were acting as though the pandemic was over,
00:06:29.020 that we had kind of come out the other side, that there was light at the end of the tunnel,
00:06:32.920 we were going to go back to normal, we're learning to live with COVID, all these things.
00:06:36.700 And then on top of that, we had Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister,
00:06:40.240 go on his infamous little surfing trip out to the beach in Tofino on Truth and Reconciliation Day,
00:06:45.660 traveling, he came out and apologized for doing that.
00:06:48.820 Here's what that looked like.
00:06:51.120 Like I said, it was a mistake to travel on that day.
00:06:56.020 This is an important moment for Canada and for Canadians to reflect not just on the past,
00:07:01.100 but on the present.
00:07:02.620 I was in error to choose to travel on that day.
00:07:07.580 And I apologize directly to Chief Casimir for not having attended the event that she invited me to,
00:07:13.960 which is why I'm looking forward to going to the community
00:07:16.740 and sitting down with them in the coming weeks.
00:07:18.760 So Trudeau was sorry for traveling on Truth and Reconciliation Day,
00:07:22.340 but he didn't say that he was sorry for going on a holiday.
00:07:25.220 He didn't say he was sorry for going to the beach and going and taking some time with his family,
00:07:29.660 resting and relaxation after a busy campaign.
00:07:33.480 So he was sorry for the travel on Truth and Reconciliation Day,
00:07:37.420 but he wasn't sorry for the actual holiday.
00:07:40.600 So paint me a surprise when all of a sudden over the weekend,
00:07:44.660 we heard from Justin Trudeau's health minister,
00:07:47.920 federal health minister, Patty Haju,
00:07:49.940 in the Justin Trudeau government,
00:07:51.680 reminding Canadians not to travel.
00:07:54.580 So here is a headline over in Global News.
00:07:56.800 It says,
00:07:57.100 I'll just read a little bit from the story.
00:08:04.960 As the weather starts to get colder and Canadians start eyeing sunny destinations to the south,
00:08:09.700 health minister Patty Haju has a reminder.
00:08:12.040 Non-essential travel is still not advised.
00:08:14.680 Haju said prospective travelers should keep that in mind
00:08:17.440 as they consider going to visit relatives
00:08:19.680 or think about taking a beach vacation amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
00:08:24.420 So no beach vacations, Canadians.
00:08:27.040 Do not even consider going on a beach vacation.
00:08:30.660 That is wrong.
00:08:31.800 That is bad.
00:08:32.740 Don't do it,
00:08:33.640 says Justin Trudeau's health minister,
00:08:35.860 Patty Haju.
00:08:36.920 So I'll go on.
00:08:38.420 She says,
00:08:38.780 I'll remind Canadians that as annoying as it is,
00:08:42.080 we still have travel advisories in place
00:08:44.260 recommending people don't travel unless it's absolutely necessary.
00:08:48.940 So unless it's absolutely necessary,
00:08:51.000 the Canadian government does not recommend getting on a plane,
00:08:55.400 going to a beach.
00:08:56.300 Unless you're the prime minister, of course.
00:08:57.840 If you're the prime minister,
00:08:58.640 you can do whatever you damn well please.
00:09:00.140 But if you're just a lowly Canadian out there,
00:09:02.360 no beaches and no holidays.
00:09:04.640 And that was the sort of theme of the kind of recommendations
00:09:07.040 and advice that we were getting
00:09:08.400 from various health officials across the country.
00:09:12.280 So here is Dr. Dina Henshaw out in Alberta,
00:09:15.700 giving her Thanksgiving video,
00:09:17.460 saying straight up,
00:09:18.480 if you are unvaccinated,
00:09:20.420 you are not allowed to have Thanksgiving dinner.
00:09:23.800 You are not allowed.
00:09:25.040 Let's play that clip.
00:09:26.100 I'm Dr. Dina Henshaw.
00:09:27.920 We are still in a crisis.
00:09:29.880 And this Thanksgiving weekend,
00:09:31.320 I ask,
00:09:32.200 please do your part
00:09:33.580 to protect our hospitals and healthcare workers.
00:09:36.980 If you're eligible to be vaccinated and aren't,
00:09:39.780 indoor social gatherings are not allowed.
00:09:42.580 If you are vaccinated,
00:09:44.320 keep your gatherings to 10 people or less
00:09:46.440 and only two households.
00:09:48.820 Outdoor social gatherings for everyone
00:09:50.760 are now limited to 20 people maximum.
00:09:54.060 Thank you for making a difference.
00:09:56.540 To learn more,
00:09:57.760 please go to alberta.ca
00:09:59.580 slash COVID-19.
00:10:01.060 So lots of crazy rules still in place.
00:10:04.120 Super arbitrary.
00:10:05.480 If you're vaccinated,
00:10:06.540 you can have 10 people outside,
00:10:08.240 but only two households,
00:10:09.540 no more.
00:10:10.260 If you're outside,
00:10:11.220 you can only have 20 people.
00:10:13.200 I don't understand how it's possible
00:10:15.220 for us to have,
00:10:16.420 you know,
00:10:16.660 big sporting events going on in Canada.
00:10:18.740 Big,
00:10:19.140 like I said,
00:10:19.760 campaign rallies
00:10:20.740 at the,
00:10:21.820 during the election.
00:10:22.540 And yet,
00:10:23.340 when it comes to Thanksgiving,
00:10:25.920 you can only have 20 people
00:10:27.460 out at your barbecue
00:10:28.780 or out at your gathering.
00:10:30.940 Why 20?
00:10:31.660 Why not 21?
00:10:32.440 Who knows?
00:10:33.260 So yeah,
00:10:33.720 it might be cold out.
00:10:34.520 It might be snowing
00:10:35.200 or at least getting close
00:10:36.020 in parts of the country,
00:10:36.900 but keep those windows open.
00:10:38.640 And if you're going to have guests over,
00:10:40.220 if you're going to have family,
00:10:41.260 don't forget to ask
00:10:42.360 those uncomfortable questions
00:10:43.960 like ask for those health records,
00:10:45.980 ask for their vaccination status
00:10:48.520 before you allow them into the house.
00:10:50.420 This is a sort of society
00:10:51.900 that our elites and experts
00:10:53.760 are creating
00:10:54.680 where there's so much division.
00:10:56.660 People are pitted against each other.
00:10:57.920 There's this divide in society
00:10:59.420 where if you're vaccinated,
00:11:01.000 you can't mix with unvaccinated.
00:11:02.560 And if you're unvaccinated,
00:11:03.800 you're not welcome
00:11:04.460 at the homes of the vaccinated.
00:11:06.640 They're trying to divide us so much.
00:11:08.520 And in so many cases,
00:11:09.460 they are being successful.
00:11:10.680 I know this is a very,
00:11:12.080 very thorny issue.
00:11:12.920 I have friends who,
00:11:14.280 people in their family
00:11:15.000 refuse to get vaccinated.
00:11:16.400 And, you know,
00:11:17.260 they're very, very uptight,
00:11:18.280 very angry about it.
00:11:19.200 There are people in my own family
00:11:20.620 who are not vaccinated.
00:11:22.340 And for me personally,
00:11:23.420 it doesn't bother me.
00:11:24.380 I don't judge.
00:11:25.260 And I think that they have
00:11:26.060 perfectly good and valid reasons.
00:11:27.740 Not to get vaccinated.
00:11:28.880 But I know for other people
00:11:30.160 in my family,
00:11:30.980 that is a real sticking point.
00:11:33.340 It's a very thorny issue.
00:11:34.920 It's something
00:11:35.320 that has caused arguments
00:11:37.360 and debates.
00:11:38.520 And I'm sure to you out there
00:11:39.960 watching in your families,
00:11:41.920 I'm sure that this conversation
00:11:43.460 and this discussion
00:11:45.340 and these debates
00:11:45.980 are happening
00:11:46.840 because there are people
00:11:48.040 who don't feel comfortable
00:11:48.900 or don't feel that they need
00:11:50.320 to get the COVID vaccine
00:11:51.460 either because they've had
00:11:52.780 COVID themselves
00:11:53.500 and developed antibodies
00:11:54.420 or because they're young
00:11:55.720 and very healthy
00:11:56.400 and they don't see
00:11:57.780 the risk personally
00:11:58.700 or just because
00:11:59.740 they're not sure
00:12:00.940 what the vaccines
00:12:02.160 are all about.
00:12:03.080 They don't know
00:12:03.420 what the long-term consequences
00:12:04.700 are and they feel uneasy
00:12:06.020 about the idea
00:12:06.640 of the government
00:12:07.220 telling you that you
00:12:08.620 don't have a choice,
00:12:09.300 that you must get it done.
00:12:10.900 So, you know,
00:12:11.600 lots of valid reasons
00:12:13.100 why people wouldn't
00:12:14.000 get vaccinated.
00:12:14.700 Personally,
00:12:15.220 I am vaccinated.
00:12:16.400 I did the research.
00:12:17.760 I thought it was a good idea.
00:12:18.880 I wanted to protect
00:12:19.600 other people in my family
00:12:21.300 even though I'm
00:12:22.340 relatively young
00:12:23.300 and healthy.
00:12:24.180 I don't want to
00:12:26.100 accidentally infect
00:12:27.400 somebody else
00:12:28.680 and particularly
00:12:29.220 because I have little kids
00:12:30.480 obviously they can't
00:12:31.320 get vaccinated
00:12:31.840 so I want to do everything
00:12:32.880 I can to protect them.
00:12:35.240 Now, not surprisingly,
00:12:36.400 the CBC is picking up
00:12:37.820 on this division
00:12:38.860 and just like they do,
00:12:40.200 they amplify it.
00:12:41.060 They push these wedge issues
00:12:42.200 and they try to
00:12:43.420 pit us against each other
00:12:44.500 and divide us even more.
00:12:46.020 So this is a clip
00:12:46.720 from the National
00:12:47.660 Ian Hanna-Mansing
00:12:48.540 hosting this discussion
00:12:50.260 and it's really interesting.
00:12:51.900 They show an array
00:12:53.580 of individuals
00:12:54.600 talking about the situation
00:12:56.460 in their family.
00:12:57.720 Now, there is a little bit
00:12:58.800 of a theme
00:12:59.400 among all the people
00:13:00.500 that they show.
00:13:01.340 I'm going to see
00:13:01.860 if you can pick up
00:13:02.960 on this theme.
00:13:04.020 So watch this clip
00:13:04.820 and notice the little montage
00:13:06.240 in with a handful
00:13:06.960 of Canadians
00:13:07.480 talking about the issue
00:13:09.160 of vaccinations
00:13:09.900 in their home
00:13:10.480 and just I'm going to
00:13:11.980 test you.
00:13:12.740 I'm going to see
00:13:13.120 if you can pick up
00:13:14.280 on a theme
00:13:15.000 among all of the people
00:13:16.240 that the CBC interviewed.
00:13:17.340 So let's play that clip.
00:13:18.800 Welcome back.
00:13:19.300 Thanksgiving has traditionally
00:13:20.560 been a time
00:13:21.120 for families to gather
00:13:22.300 but for a second year
00:13:23.900 in a row
00:13:24.340 the pandemic
00:13:24.980 is putting limits
00:13:25.840 on that
00:13:26.280 and that includes
00:13:26.920 the divide
00:13:27.480 among families
00:13:28.540 and friends
00:13:29.140 when some are vaccinated
00:13:30.460 and others are not.
00:13:32.500 We're keeping it
00:13:32.980 to immediate family
00:13:33.900 plus our son
00:13:34.960 and his girlfriend
00:13:35.460 who live in a condo.
00:13:36.620 We're all vaccinated
00:13:37.520 and we're setting up
00:13:38.400 outdoors anyway.
00:13:39.620 This Thanksgiving
00:13:40.300 I'm forced to
00:13:41.600 potentially expose
00:13:42.520 my girlfriend
00:13:43.000 and myself
00:13:43.780 to the virus
00:13:44.820 because family members
00:13:46.220 refuse to get vaccinated
00:13:47.360 and if I don't attend
00:13:48.880 Thanksgiving out of protest
00:13:50.220 then I become the villain.
00:13:51.600 Vaccinations are not an issue
00:13:52.700 on my side of the family.
00:13:54.160 We're all fully vaxxed
00:13:55.320 and my 80-year-old father
00:13:56.640 has had his booster.
00:13:57.880 Other side of the family
00:13:59.020 not so much.
00:14:00.220 Thanksgiving dinner
00:14:01.020 at our house
00:14:01.660 will include only vaccinated guests
00:14:03.640 same as any other dinner
00:14:05.220 during the pandemic.
00:14:06.920 So lots of different responses
00:14:08.620 to what is for many
00:14:09.640 a new challenge
00:14:10.400 of this pandemic.
00:14:11.720 Lots of different responses.
00:14:13.240 Lots of different responses.
00:14:14.200 The CBC says
00:14:15.240 that there's lots
00:14:15.740 of different responses
00:14:16.360 except for there's
00:14:16.980 one thing in common.
00:14:17.880 Every single person
00:14:18.820 of course is vaccinated
00:14:20.060 and they're angry
00:14:21.120 because someone in their family
00:14:22.440 is not vaccinated.
00:14:23.340 They couldn't have found
00:14:24.300 a person who was not vaccinated
00:14:26.340 to explain their side
00:14:27.540 of the story.
00:14:28.320 They couldn't have found
00:14:29.000 someone like me
00:14:29.760 who is vaccinated
00:14:30.660 and it doesn't bother me
00:14:32.020 whether or not
00:14:32.640 someone else is vaccinated
00:14:33.700 that is their prerogative
00:14:34.880 or someone else
00:14:35.840 who maybe is still concerned
00:14:37.180 about vaccines
00:14:37.820 but they might say
00:14:38.680 look if someone chooses
00:14:39.900 not to get vaccinated
00:14:40.820 I only ask that they get
00:14:42.460 a negative rapid COVID test
00:14:44.420 before they come over
00:14:45.200 just to make sure
00:14:45.780 that they're not going
00:14:46.500 to have COVID
00:14:47.840 and bring it over.
00:14:49.040 But no, instead
00:14:49.920 the CBC finds
00:14:51.060 four or five Canadians
00:14:51.960 with the exact same view
00:14:53.000 parroting the exact same lines
00:14:54.500 about vaccines
00:14:55.860 and public health.
00:14:57.000 No surprise there.
00:14:57.860 The CBC is monolithic
00:14:59.120 in their worldview.
00:15:00.180 You must have
00:15:00.780 the exact same ideology
00:15:01.900 as they do
00:15:02.900 in order to even be featured
00:15:04.260 on the state broadcaster.
00:15:06.660 What a sad pathetic joke
00:15:08.740 over there.
00:15:09.880 Well and so
00:15:10.780 while many elites
00:15:11.940 and politicians
00:15:12.580 did their best
00:15:13.500 to make sure
00:15:14.260 that you did not have
00:15:15.680 the kind of Thanksgiving
00:15:16.460 that you might have wanted
00:15:17.440 that you were not able
00:15:18.320 to gather with as many friends
00:15:20.140 and family members
00:15:20.920 as possible
00:15:21.720 that you were pitted
00:15:22.760 against family members
00:15:23.880 who may not have
00:15:24.500 the same worldview
00:15:25.440 as you do about vaccines
00:15:27.160 that they weren't done yet.
00:15:28.720 So this was the message
00:15:29.640 to little kids
00:15:30.500 going trick-or-treating
00:15:31.660 on Halloween.
00:15:32.860 Just remember
00:15:33.400 that there are still
00:15:34.280 heavy-handed rules
00:15:35.160 even on little kids
00:15:36.240 trying to go out
00:15:37.040 and have some fun
00:15:38.000 on Halloween.
00:15:38.900 This is what the top doctor
00:15:40.120 in Ontario
00:15:40.800 had to say about that.
00:15:42.380 I just wanted to ask
00:15:43.640 about Halloween to start.
00:15:45.280 I noticed that
00:15:45.760 one of the bullet points
00:15:47.460 in the guidance
00:15:48.260 is for kids
00:15:50.040 not to sing
00:15:51.240 or shout
00:15:52.000 for their treats
00:15:53.220 when trick-or-treating.
00:15:54.640 Just curious
00:15:55.340 how you envision
00:15:56.440 that going.
00:15:58.500 Kids generally
00:15:59.040 go to the doors
00:15:59.700 and shout trick-or-treat
00:16:00.880 should they just not
00:16:01.560 be speaking at all?
00:16:04.180 Oh no, I mean
00:16:04.680 they'll have masks on.
00:16:05.960 It's just not to yell
00:16:06.840 too exuberantly.
00:16:07.600 I think the purpose
00:16:08.400 of that comment
00:16:09.100 was not to aerosolize
00:16:10.760 and it's just
00:16:12.520 a risk reduction strategy.
00:16:14.520 Clearly
00:16:14.940 you have to make
00:16:15.480 your presence known
00:16:16.280 to get your treat
00:16:17.020 and you have to be able
00:16:17.900 to knock as well
00:16:18.720 as ask for the treat.
00:16:20.200 We just ask
00:16:21.020 not with a high volume
00:16:22.340 that could potentially
00:16:23.920 aerosolize.
00:16:24.740 It's an abundance
00:16:25.440 of caution
00:16:26.200 and last year
00:16:29.080 when Halloween
00:16:29.660 was present in Kingston
00:16:30.700 and I was giving out
00:16:32.360 candies
00:16:32.820 kids were great
00:16:34.280 and the event
00:16:35.260 went smoothly
00:16:35.940 without any issues
00:16:37.900 and the children
00:16:39.700 were all reasonable
00:16:40.520 and lined up appropriately
00:16:41.580 so I certainly hope
00:16:42.500 across Ontario
00:16:43.280 it goes well again
00:16:44.360 this year.
00:16:46.200 So even though
00:16:46.780 these little kids
00:16:47.320 will have masks on
00:16:48.260 even though
00:16:48.680 they will be outside
00:16:49.740 even though
00:16:50.460 they'll probably
00:16:51.000 be socially distanced
00:16:52.160 it's just a reminder
00:16:53.280 not to have too much fun
00:16:54.620 not to yell
00:16:55.400 too exuberantly
00:16:56.400 tell a little kid
00:16:57.460 not to get too excited
00:16:58.420 on Halloween
00:16:59.000 about the idea
00:16:59.900 of getting to wear costumes
00:17:00.860 and go around
00:17:01.700 to homes in their neighbourhood
00:17:03.100 to get candy
00:17:04.120 they're not allowed
00:17:05.820 to get too excited
00:17:06.720 why?
00:17:07.680 Well who knows
00:17:08.140 it's just a risk reduction
00:17:09.420 strategy
00:17:09.960 an extra layer
00:17:10.980 of protection
00:17:11.780 no fun
00:17:12.740 on Halloween
00:17:13.440 they want to ruin
00:17:14.660 Thanksgiving
00:17:15.220 now they're trying
00:17:16.060 to ruin
00:17:16.500 the childhoods
00:17:17.940 of children
00:17:18.520 out there
00:17:18.840 telling them
00:17:19.300 not to have
00:17:20.040 too much fun
00:17:20.900 once again folks
00:17:21.480 if we let these experts
00:17:22.680 if we let these doctors
00:17:23.840 and these politicians
00:17:24.820 micromanage our lives
00:17:26.560 and control
00:17:27.440 every aspect of it
00:17:28.660 these rules
00:17:29.260 are never going
00:17:29.920 to go away
00:17:30.440 this is never going
00:17:31.280 to stop
00:17:31.800 it will just be
00:17:32.620 holiday after holiday
00:17:33.820 after holiday
00:17:34.440 of more heavy-handed rules
00:17:36.160 rules again
00:17:36.980 that our own
00:17:37.740 Prime Minister
00:17:38.220 doesn't even follow
00:17:39.620 we must remain vigilant
00:17:41.200 against these absurd
00:17:42.380 heavy-handed rules
00:17:43.460 if we wish
00:17:44.160 to preserve
00:17:45.020 our free society
