00:13:04.340it up earlier yes it's individuals talking about melanie jolie uh this guy is jonathan harvey
00:13:11.700He is, I think, one of the founding members of Blender Podcast, and he makes some very, very valid points in here in regards to what Miss Jolie is doing for what, you know, what they want to do to make things easier, you know, what they want to do to hide certain information.
00:13:32.020basically tell us that we're not good enough for anything right basically tell us that we're not
00:13:37.840uh you know we're not good enough to deal with anything substantial more or less tell us that
00:13:44.160they want to sue us so here's jonathan harvey from uh the blender crew um it wasn't i think
00:13:51.260there's subtitles here but i'll cue this up here ladies and gentlemen and you guys decide like
00:13:55.800every time i present something here on the show i want you my wonderful audience i want you to
00:14:00.760decide and think for yourselves okay and he talks about the misinformation miss jolie proposes
00:14:08.320that that with all the misinformation out there that the government has the right to sue us
00:14:15.760you know people like me like you if you promote something or push something on twitter or on
00:14:20.620tiktok or any other social media feed right uh listen to mr jonathan harvey he's got some great0.96
00:14:26.320insight on the whole issue all right and i'm not going to tell you guys to suck eggs here or not
00:14:32.300but i will say uh listen he has to say he's got some very very valid points0.85
00:14:37.720institutions it's that the institutions continually give us reasons to stop
00:14:44.200according to a recent access to information memo the federal government of canada
00:14:48.020is now contemplating legal action against users on facebook twitter linkedin and other social
00:14:52.660media sites, suspected of spreading false and misleading information. The censored 35-page
00:14:58.200document said, this strategy seeks to uphold the integrity of and public trust in government
00:15:04.040information. So let's be clear, a federal department was discreetly exploring legal
00:15:08.380action against Canadian citizens over online speech they deemed false or misleading, making
00:15:13.220them the arbiters of truth, while hiding the details behind redactions and pretending this
00:15:16.700was about protecting public trust. Across much of the democratic world, governments have spent
00:15:21.640years mislead the public, managing narratives and burying mistakes. Then when people speak up,
00:15:26.420they call it misinformation, like the public suddenly became irrational. And before anyone
00:15:30.260tries to tell you this is just partisan rhetoric, all you have to do is look at the numbers,
00:15:34.080recent events, and the laws they passed because people stopped believing them.
00:15:38.260Edelman's trust barometer found that 69% of people globally worry that government officials,
00:15:42.220businesses, and journalists deliberately mislead them. Reuters found global trust in news at an
00:15:46.900all-time low of just 37%, with Canada sitting directly on this line. Furthermore, Freedom
00:15:52.200House says global internet freedom has declined for the 15th straight year in 2025. And what
00:15:57.060do governments do in response? They reach for more control. Canada is policing speech
00:16:01.640through several policies, but the Online Harms Act takes the cake, proposing up to life
00:16:05.780in prison for online hate speech offenses. The UK's Online Safety Act gives Ofcom power
00:16:10.620over social platforms and search engines, backed by fines of up to £18 million. The
00:16:15.460EU's Digital Services Act gives regulators power over the largest platforms, algorithms, and content
00:16:20.000with fines that can reach into the billions.
00:16:22.640Germany forces large platforms to remove content within 24 hours or face fines of up to €50 million.
00:16:28.220Ireland's online safety regime gives its media regulator power over everything online
00:17:26.820The government funds the media, the media defends the narrative,
00:17:29.280the narrative protects the government, and anyone who notices is accused of spreading misinformation.
00:17:34.460So the trust collapse is not caused by bad information.
00:17:37.380It is caused by an abuse of authority.
00:17:39.600People watch officials overstate certainty, bury mistakes, reverse positions, protect their own, and use emergency language or measures to justify overreaching power.
00:17:49.920The institution fails, it denies the failure, it attacks the people who notice, then it passes punitive policy to control the backlash, giving more authority to the very institutions people no longer trust.
00:18:00.520But you cannot censor your way back to legitimacy.
00:18:02.420you cannot punish people into believing you and you cannot fix this problem by giving more power0.99
00:18:07.940to the people who created it and that's the thing who created this crap who did all this crap0.94
00:18:14.820who made all these machines who made all these monsters who who put us in those positions ladies0.98
00:18:19.800and gentlemen who made us back into a corner right who backed us in right quite a few quite
00:18:29.560a few people that said we can't go out here and do this and now we've got government overreaching
00:18:34.360again with all these great new bills and suggestions to sue any canadian for misinformation now when
00:18:41.040the government misinforms us well it's a mistake when the mainstream media misinforms us oh it's
00:18:45.920just fine nothing to see here ladies and gentlemen everything's just hunky-dory hey everything's just
00:18:52.040perfect and special says who right i remember back in high school we were warned about this stuff
00:19:00.820and the teachers that gave us this insight and this information who gave us insight on media
00:19:07.140they were told the same thing back in the 70s in the late 60s how the media media likes to
00:19:12.800manipulate and control and if government gets their hands in there then the media will do
00:19:16.240whatever the government says because of the money that's what it is follow the money folks it has
00:19:21.140nothing to do with freedom of the press or freedom of information right they just don't trust us with
00:19:28.380the information they don't trust us at all that's what it was down to we're not we're not smart
00:19:34.300enough for that right we don't know what the hell we're doing oh my god we have to do this for you

00:20:55.400i mentioned earlier is a comedian commentator he's a full ppc supporter i'm not holding that
00:21:00.640against him um i'm more libertarian ladies and gentlemen i could care less uh what kind of
00:21:05.900conservative is calling the shots i just find more conservatism is leaning more towards freedom now
00:21:11.340than ever before a hell of a lot more so than the liberal uh bygones and liberal crackpots out there
00:21:18.060okay but he's got a little video he did when he was in aurelia and uh apparently aurelia ontario
00:21:24.100took down the statue of samuel de champlain a french explorer uh that was in the area within
00:21:29.080the late 1600s who traded with on tribes and everything there too and his uh story is pretty
00:21:35.980cool and i'll cue that up for you here ladies and gentlemen uh like i said you guys decide0.76
00:21:40.700you know you're not morons you're not idiots i don't expect you to uh listen to every
00:21:47.260you know i have to say i do appreciate the concern and the lesson i want you all to think for0.93
00:21:53.560yourself as you should okay and uh just try to listen to this guy with an open open head and
00:22:03.080realize what's happened to our history in this country we're not as glorious as british history
00:22:07.760and not as bloody as american history however okay uh we do have history nonetheless and
00:22:14.060there's things in our in our history that we should be proud of we have a dark chapter we
00:22:18.720have lots of dark chapters we also have some good ones too and sammy de chaplain i think is one of
00:22:23.260the better weather chapters like i say let me tell me you guys decide you know you guys decide
00:22:29.280dicks in canada are slowly but surely acting more and more like tyrants and it needs to stop
00:22:34.880In this case, a newspaper in Orillia, Ontario, is posing the question of whether we should allow right-wing activists to campaign to keep a statue in a park that would have been there for over 100 years this past Canada day.0.94
00:22:49.540For those who don't know, this is the Samuel Champlain Monument in question.
00:22:53.940And because the fate of this statue is up in the air, us at Dominion Society thought this is a great opportunity to try and push things in the right direction.
00:23:02.240So we showed up bright and early, equipment in hand.
00:23:05.720Poor Daniel has to wear his suit all day in the sun.
00:23:08.840It was like 36 degrees or something that day before the humidity.
00:23:11.700And most of the interactions throughout the day were positive,
00:23:14.380except what happens a couple of days later?
00:23:16.760Aurelia Matters writes, far-right group members petitioned to return Champlain money.
00:23:21.420They at least got some nice photos of us in the article.
00:23:23.740But most outrageous is the poll at the end of this article.
00:23:26.920Should the city allow Dominion Society of Canada volunteers to go door-to-door in Aurelia?
00:23:33.480As if a local newspaper has the authority to ban people from going door-to-door?
00:23:40.000And how ironic the name of the paper is Aurelia Matters.
00:23:44.160We're making a video about how the history of Aurelia matters.
00:23:48.160And then they're like, should we ban these people from even campaigning in favor of the history of Aurelia?
00:23:53.940yeah but what is going on in these small towns this sort of like polite quiet tyranny where
00:23:59.680people who hold left-wing views will silently be like yeah yeah we should just ban them from
00:24:05.300advocating for an opinion different than mine had a couple of weird interactions where i'm like hey
00:24:09.760have you heard of the statue and they're like oh yeah i've heard of it what's your opinion oh no no
00:24:13.840no so many people were like oh it was like it was in children of the corn or something or some like
00:24:18.920creepy movie where everyone in the town is like no no we don't talk about that i almost forgot when
00:24:22.700we first got there we went to a diner and some woman clocked us like this is at 8 a.m we went
00:24:28.200to a diner somehow this person is like talking about us on facebook this racist group to me in
00:24:33.260society just showed up in town these people are bullies okay they're trying to paint canadian
00:24:38.740history as just one brush one color and anybody who was of european descent was bad unanimously1.00
00:24:45.500and everyone who is indigenous was good this is retarded part of my language that's really stupid0.97
00:24:52.360And wouldn't you know, Samuel de Champlain's story is a perfect example of that, because he collaborated with the indigenous. Samuel de Champlain was working together and cooperating with the Huron-Wendat specifically. Anyway, our Dominion Society video will cover all of this on Samuel de Champlain and what our real history is and what real reconciliation actually looks like.0.98
00:25:16.160but these left-wing cry bullies need to be put in their place okay you guys need to you guys need
00:25:21.860to you know mine your p's and q's people who have left-wing politics in canada are slowly
00:25:27.420yeah that was a greg wycliffe on his own channel there i'll leave a link to his work there too
00:25:32.400you know how he pointed out the t-shirt and the symbol in the back of that t-shirt
00:25:36.240the canadian coat of arms so there's people out there in this country that think oh my god what0.94
00:25:43.280a racist thing it's on our fucking charter it's anytime you see the canadian coat of arms you're0.99
00:25:53.940going to see that shield it's not racist it's part of canada so it goes to prove how many canucks out0.99
00:26:02.380there are lost in this bubble okay just write the hell out to lunch hello mama didn't wipe my0.78
00:26:10.320properly that's what it is ignorance okay and no way am i ever justifying the bad bits of our0.56
00:26:19.040history the first nations got a raw deal because of the original settlers you know the way guys
00:26:27.280way back in the 1700s the guys were back in the 1800s not now okay and i wasn't raised in a
00:26:36.160household where i was told to hate the first nations or hate this group or hate that group
00:26:42.340or hate this demographic or that demographic okay you gotta admit when you're growing up anywhere0.82
00:26:48.040you're pretty ignorant until you're taught how to do things and how you're taught how to be as a0.99
00:26:52.280person how to be a functioning fucking adult okay and all these grievance groups coming out of1.00
00:26:59.520nowhere talking about colonialism i like to remind you's all out there north america and south0.98
00:27:05.880america and central america and the caribbean what they used to call the west indies right

00:27:21.860english to the french to the dutch to the spanish to the portuguese okay quit blaming europe for0.98
00:27:30.780your fuck-ups europe's got its own problems right now they've got issues in ireland still0.99
00:27:37.460with certain individuals hurting children one individual apparently the other day1.00
00:27:41.600actually stabbed three kids right so while you're sitting here trying to find a soapbox
00:27:50.860to stand on and scream at the heavens about.
00:27:53.580What are you doing to make things different?
00:27:56.460What are you doing to stop people from thinking colonialism?0.85
00:28:00.160If you're so miserable in this country,
