Summary
Barry Neufeld was a former Chilliwack school board trustee, who was fined $750,000 by the BC Human Rights Tribunal for hate speech and discrimination against LGBTQ+ people. He didn't believe in gender theory, he just didn't think there were more than two sexes, and he was fined for it. This is absolutely absurd, but we will be getting into it in a minute.

Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.
00:00:06.560
Canada, and especially the province of British Columbia, are beyond parity at this point when
00:00:12.940
it comes to the woke politics that are here. We do things on a weekly basis in Canada that would
00:00:19.820
seem to Americans like it was just a headline from the Babylon Bee or the Onion satirical
00:00:25.940
publications, but I can assure you the thing we are about to talk about today actually happened,
00:00:31.940
and there are people defending it. Here's a headline from the CBC that really buries the lead.
00:00:37.840
It says, former BC school trustee ordered to pay $750,000 for hate speech discrimination,
00:00:46.060
human rights tribunal. Yeah, this is not hate speech, and it's not discrimination that he engaged in.
00:00:53.680
He just didn't believe in gender theory. I'm not burying the lead there. Literally,
00:00:59.160
he just does not believe that there were more than two sexes, and he was fined $750,000 by the BC
00:01:06.600
Human Rights Tribunal. This is absolutely absurd, but we will be getting into it in just a second.
00:01:13.100
Before we talk about it, I just want to remind you guys, if you like the channel, make sure to leave
00:01:17.020
a like on this video, subscribe if you're not yet a subscriber, leave a comment about what you think
00:01:21.840
about all this, and if you live in British Columbia, check out the party that I work for, 1BC, which I
00:01:27.700
will be linking to in the top of the comments below if you want to go and see our platform and sign up
00:01:34.160
to be a member. Our leader, Dallas Brody, was actually the first politician in British Columbia
00:01:39.020
to speak out about this and is calling for the BC Human Rights Tribunal to be abolished, which funnily
00:01:45.020
enough, not even BC conservative leadership candidates who have nothing to lose at this point
00:01:49.340
are willing to say, it's so funny watching the BC conservative leadership race. They basically wait
00:01:55.420
for Dallas Brody to say something, and then seven hours later, they say like 40% of what she said,
00:02:01.200
and they leave the door open to basically completely abandon the stance that they took later on, but
00:02:06.800
we'll get to that in just a little bit here. Let's read through the CBC, because I find it kind of
00:02:13.420
is, you know, fitting for the dystopian energy of this story that we are going to read about it from
00:02:18.720
Canada's public broadcaster. Here we go. Here, and this is the man who was, who was fined, Barry
00:02:26.240
Neufeld. He was a former Chilliwack school board trustee, a very good one, by the way. Here, the article
00:02:31.760
reads, the BC Human Rights Tribunal has ordered former Chilliwack school trustee Barry Neufeld to pay
00:02:38.500
$750,000 for violating the Human Rights Code by publishing hate speech and discriminatory content
00:02:45.620
against 2x LGBTQ plus people. Quote, Mr. Neufeld invoked negative and insidious stereotypes of
00:02:53.420
LGBTQ people, especially trans people, which deny their inherent dignity and in some cases reflected
0.99
00:03:00.440
the hallmarks of hate against them as a groups. The tribunal said in a decision Wednesday. So even the
00:03:06.280
tribunal themselves, by the way, the idea of a hate crime is stupid. Being hateful is not a crime.
00:03:13.220
You should you be hateful? No, you should not be. You can disagree with someone fundamentally,
00:03:17.520
and you should try and maintain your composure and be nice no matter what. But being hateful is not a
00:03:23.480
crime. I think that there are many things in Canada that are criminalized as like speech crimes that I
00:03:30.100
think should not be. I won't even want to call them hate crimes. I think you can believe in fundamentally
00:03:34.820
terrible, counterfactual things. And it should not be a crime. But even in this statement here,
00:03:42.640
they say in some cases, what he said reflected the hallmarks of hate against them as a group.
00:03:48.220
And for that, for that subjective interpretation of what Barry Neufeld was saying, you are going to
00:03:54.920
fine him nearly a million dollars. What? You are not allowed to disagree with gender theory,
00:04:01.420
apparently. Or else that could be interpreted as hate. And they might interpret that as you needing
00:04:06.880
to give someone $750,000. Absurd. Below, we're going to keep reading on. Neufeld was one of the loudest
00:04:15.580
critics against the BC government's move in 2017, directing school boards to update codes of conduct to
00:04:21.300
address bullying based on SOGI or sexual orientation and gender identity, according to the tribunal's
00:04:27.580
decision. Quote, for five years, he publicly denigrated LGBTQ people and teachers and associated
00:04:35.000
them with the worst forms of child abuse, said the tribunal members, adding that the effect was
00:04:40.140
discriminatory work environment, was a discriminatory work environment for 2SLGBTQ plus teachers in the
00:04:46.380
district. Neufeld does not respond to CBC News' request for comment by publication deadline.
00:04:52.020
The complaint was brought to the tribunal by the Chilliwack Teachers Association and BC Teachers
00:04:58.060
Federation and on behalf of their members who identify as LGBTQ. What is this? Sorry, just the
1.00
00:05:06.440
teachers union in Chilliwack and for the province in general is just bringing a lawsuit, a complaint
00:05:13.300
against Barry Neufeld because he said something on Facebook they didn't like. Do I get to sue people
00:05:19.760
who don't speak favorably about me all the time then? Is that considered hateful if they don't
00:05:24.900
endorse me as a human being? This is insane. The tribunal's decision noted it used the, sorry,
00:05:34.780
the tribunal's decision noted it used the LGBTQ term in its decision as set out in the association's
00:05:40.780
initial complaint but did not intend to erase or overlook the breadth of sexual and gender diversity.
00:05:45.780
Wow. Oh my goodness. They even had to clarify that we didn't have the 2 and the plus and all the other
00:05:52.100
things on the acronym because we are going by the official acronym that we were previously using but
00:05:58.220
we're not trying to be discriminatory. What a parody of an organization having to apologize
00:06:03.100
in the middle of this entire thing for not using the full absurd acronym. How about we just be people?
00:06:10.420
How about we stop having stupid acronyms? That's too much for these people. That's not beyond parody
00:06:15.560
enough for these people. Neufeld's publications included Facebook posts, a speech at a gathering,
00:06:22.680
a widely circulated email, and comments at a school board meeting and in the media. The tribunal found
00:06:27.880
six of his publications were likely to expose trans gay and lesbian people to hatred or contempt based
00:06:33.280
on their gender identity or sexual orientation. These publications demonized and delegitimized
00:06:38.780
trans people and in one case lesbian and gay people and cast them as powerful menace threatening to
0.96
00:06:43.800
threatening the security of children and their families. More than 20 of Neufeld's is he taking issue
00:06:50.840
with teaching gender theory to impressionable children who do not have the social knowledge to understand
00:06:57.080
these are political ideologies and this is not exactly like the end-all be-all of I guess
00:07:03.460
I don't even know what to call it. Just these are not just these are not normal things and I'm saying
00:07:11.180
that as in from the perspective that yes these people a lot of activists are trying to make it seem
00:07:17.020
as if being like identifying as non-binary or an opposite sex is just as normal as being the sex that you
00:07:26.880
were born as. Yes, that is bad. That is basically like menacing on preying on the naive minds of children.
00:07:37.840
But apparently you're just not allowed to oppose the things that they teach or else that's hatred
00:07:42.280
even though they're teaching things that are clearly outside of the historical norm of things
00:07:48.260
for people to believe and which are just not in line with just biological reality. I'm sorry,
00:07:54.640
but that's just how it is. It says here more than 20 of Neufeld's publications indicated discrimination or
00:08:00.180
intention to discriminate against 2SLGBTQ plus people in the Chilliwack school district. One unnamed teacher who uses she they
00:08:06.980
pronouns testified before the tribunal and Neufeld's comments made the people in their life ask them to
00:08:13.940
reconsider going into teaching. Okay, they said they chose not to be out as queer person professionally
00:08:21.940
because they and their families feared for their safety which they described as tough and isolate
00:08:26.740
as a tough and isolating experience. The teacher said not to not being out affected their ability to
00:08:32.660
show up to the classroom as their best self. Okay, so I guess Neufeld is not allowing this person to be a
00:08:39.300
stunning and brave individual because he has Facebook posts. It says here the BCTF and the Chilliwack
00:08:45.700
Teachers Association sought an award of $750,000 in compensation to Teachers Association members who
00:08:52.820
identify as LGBTQ between October 27 through 2022 for injury to their dignity, feelings, and self-respect.
00:09:01.140
And they gave them every single penny of it. Absurd. They gave them every penny of it. And the funniest thing I'm
00:09:10.980
going to get to maybe the little the video from our leader Dallas Brody from 1BC. They use this absurd term to
00:09:18.980
try and define how what he was saying was like an attack, some sort of like fundamental like attack on these
00:09:27.860
people as persons or something that needed to be corrected with a punishment. Check this out. It's
00:09:32.900
almost hard. It's hard to describe because all of this at the end of the day is just left-wing
00:09:38.740
idiobabble. It's just let you don't buy into the left-wing idiobabble. Ergo you are being fined $750,000.
00:09:46.420
Hi there, Dallas Brody here. I wanted to let you know about another insane situation that's developed in BC.
00:09:52.660
Barry Neufeld, who's a former trustee of the Chilliwack School Board, was found guilty today
00:09:58.900
of not believing in transgenderism. And he has been fined, get ready, $750,000 for saying that he
00:10:06.660
doesn't believe that there are more than two genders. Can you believe this? The tribunal found that he was
00:10:11.940
guilty of existential denialism. And that's what it came down to. So this poor guy, $750,000. These human rights
00:10:22.260
tribunals are out of control. They're kangaroo courts. They don't meet any of the traditional
1.00
00:10:27.300
burdens of proof. It's outrageous that this is happening. If I were premier, these tribunals
00:10:31.940
will be shut down immediately. So if you agree with that, consider joining 1BC to shut down the BC
00:10:38.660
human rights tribunals. But existential denialism, because that was the term that the whole suit
00:10:46.500
was hanging its hat on. The idea that he is existentially denying that these are people,
00:10:52.340
that these are human beings, because he won't repeat lies pushed by gender theorists.
00:10:59.780
Billboard Crisp was one of the first people to post about it, and I think he does a really good
00:11:03.460
summation of everything that happened. He says, breaking, Barry Neufeld, a former school trustee
00:11:09.060
who opposed gender ideology in schools, has been ordered to pay $750,000 to the Chilliwack
00:11:14.260
Teachers Association. The BC human rights tribunal literally stated the following, quote,
00:11:19.940
if a person elects not to believe that gender identity is separate from sex assigned at birth,
00:11:25.220
then they do not believe in trans people. This is a form of existential denial. A person does not need
1.00
00:11:31.380
to believe in Christianity to accept that another person is a Christian. However, to accept that a person
0.80
00:11:36.660
is transgender, one must accept their gender identity is different than their sex assigned at birth.
00:11:42.260
That's the whole thing. Barry Neufeld was fined for not believing in that left-wing idiobabble.
00:11:48.820
The thing about being a Christian, and I am a Christian myself, is that it is a belief,
00:11:54.580
that it is a spiritual belief, it is a faith in God, it's a faith that Jesus Christ died for your sins,
00:12:01.380
and that you need to repent and believe in him to be forgiven. That's not something that denies that I
00:12:08.420
have, you know, brown hair, or that I'm a male, or that, like, I don't know, like, my eye color or how
00:12:16.500
tall I am. The thing is, we would obviously say if someone just started identifying as two feet taller
00:12:22.660
than they are, you would just have to say, well, they aren't. I'm not going to accommodate them
00:12:27.460
thinking that they're two feet taller than they are, and making changes to how I address them,
00:12:32.340
or to, like, you know, whatever else. You can't, you can't, the idea that these two things are
00:12:38.340
equivalent is insane. I know that the people like Billboard Chris will say that there is only
00:12:43.860
such thing as sex and gender is a made-up concept. I generally agree with that. At the end of the day,
0.97
00:12:49.300
whether you call it gender or sex, there's only two of them. You know, people want to identify
0.98
00:12:54.900
something else. Yeah, don't bully them. Don't be mean to them. Be nice to people.
00:12:58.740
But the idea that if you, as a school board trustee, like, disagree, that you are existentially
00:13:07.060
denying their existence, and ergo you owe them three-quarters of a million dollars, is why this
00:13:13.620
country is the way that it is. What, how do we have a media that didn't cover this from the angle that
00:13:20.020
this is the most absurd thing they've ever heard in their lives? That CBC article was playing this story,
00:13:24.740
straight, as if Barry Neufeld is just inherently the villain. And printing that stupid line where,
00:13:30.020
don't worry, the BC Teachers Federation didn't use the full acronym, but that's just because it's not
00:13:35.220
the official definition, the government definition of the community or the official government acronym,
00:13:40.500
and they would, would have liked to use the full one if they could. That was a line in the article.
00:13:46.820
Barry Neufeld is basically being attacked for being radically normal,
00:13:51.220
for believing things that people have believed forever. You believe things that people have been
00:13:57.220
believing for thousands of years for good reason. You could be sued for nearly a million dollars if
00:14:04.260
you live in the province of British Columbia for existential denialism. Insane. And here's my,
00:14:10.500
here's my thing, because I want to go a little bit into this. I find it so annoying how there are BC
1.00
00:14:16.740
Conservative leadership candidates who are not sitting MLAs, have nothing better to do than speak out about
00:14:22.420
things happening in British Columbia, who it took them several hours to get a tweet out about this story.
00:14:29.380
Caroline Elliott is not a sitting MLA. She eventually said something about it, but her statement was kind of wishy-washy,
00:14:35.940
and it was saying that this is bad what has happened to Barry Neufeld for believing that there are only two genders or two sexes.
00:14:42.980
But she doesn't affirm that that is a correct belief, and she also doesn't call for the BC Human Rights Tribunal to be abolished.
00:14:50.180
That is the thing that's annoying me about so many BC Conservative leadership candidates.
00:14:54.740
They're like rationing how conservative they have to be to get the base off their backs.
00:14:59.060
I'll give you a little bit of conservatism, and then you leave me alone and buy a membership and vote for me.
00:15:03.860
Just say what everyone's thinking. Stop hedging. Stop going to your awful communications people and
00:15:09.780
finding the softest way of saying something so that you can maybe walk it back later, or so that no one
00:15:15.220
gives you an angry phone call from downtown Vancouver saying that what you said was mean.
00:15:19.700
Why are you backing the mean man Barry Neufeld? That's not how we do things in Vancouver politics.
00:15:28.180
In elitist Vancouver politics, we say we just talk about economic issues and that's it.
00:15:33.940
Oh my goodness. Oh, by the way, I have to bring this up because this happened last night.
00:15:39.140
This guy who's been taking shots at me, who is the tour manager of Caroline Elliott,
00:15:45.700
literally once ran for the Progress Vancouver party and was on the same slate as Morgane Auger,
00:15:53.380
who is this guy who identifies as a woman who literally in 2019 shut down a woman's rape crisis center
00:16:04.420
for not letting biological men in. This guy ran on the same party slate as Morgane and is now the
0.56
00:16:12.420
tour manager for Caroline Elliott. In fact, it gets worse from there because guess what else the
00:16:19.780
Caroline Elliott has kicking around on her campaign? She literally has doing communications
1.00
00:16:25.060
Anthony Koch, who attacked Dallas Brody and smeared her as attacking victims of molestation in residential
00:16:33.140
schools. This is the sort of people on the principled conservative campaign. This is what I posted after
00:16:40.500
Billboard Chris called out Morrow Francis on her campaign. I said lots of fake conservatives and smear
00:16:46.180
artists on Caroline Elliott's campaign. Here is Anthony Koch trying to engage in the woke cancellation of
00:16:51.140
Dallas Brody by trying to spin that three-second out of context video of her John Rustad and team used
00:16:56.820
to boot her out of the BC conservative caucus. Anthony Koch here said, mocking grandmas that were
00:17:01.940
molested in state-sanctioned institutions is never a play nor is it morally tolerable by normal people.
00:17:08.260
I don't understand why this needs to be explained. And former BC conservative candidate Brian
00:17:13.140
Berguet, who actually has a head on his shoulders, said, asking again, when did Dallas say this? I'm
00:17:18.580
genuinely asking here. You have a link to her saying this. I'm open to changing my mind. But all of this
00:17:23.940
is starting as this started because Dallas refused to go against one fact. Anthony said, watch the video
00:17:29.860
that went out yesterday. That video was three and a half seconds. It was a three and a half second video
00:17:37.460
used to smear Dallas Brody because she was mocking, using a mocking voice to go after postmodernists who
0.53
00:17:44.180
don't believe in truth. They believe in my truth and your truth. That is what he tried to smear her
00:17:50.020
over. And this guy is now a leader of the new right helping Caroline Elliott's campaign. And there are
00:17:55.940
other people on Caroline Elliott's campaign who are also basically either leftists or these fake smear
00:18:02.180
artists who pretend to be conservative. Anthony Koch used to be a big Aaron O'Toole guy. She's also employing
00:18:07.220
Jeff Ballingall, big Aaron O'Toole guy back in 2020, was helping AstroTurf with his pages Canada
00:18:13.060
Proud and Ontario Proud that Aaron O'Toole was a true blue conservative. Apparently he looks more
00:18:18.580
true blue if you're taking loads of money from Aaron O'Toole. And then you have Corey Tanike on
00:18:22.820
the campaign, who's a big hater of Pierre Polyev, a big Doug Ford ally, and a massive liberal pretending
00:18:28.820
to be conservative. Lots of other people on that campaign as well. And this is what I can't stand
00:18:34.180
about BC politics. All of the same crap campaign mercenaries who paid themselves massive amounts
00:18:41.140
of money on the BC conservative campaign in 2024, re-rolling themselves again saying,
00:18:47.380
you know what, we have the formula to winning the province this time. Just give us tens of thousands
00:18:52.020
of dollars per month to be crappy at our jobs and then we'll somehow win. Something, something,
00:18:57.220
something profit if you give me a bunch of money. We'll win somehow if you give me fifteen
00:19:01.780
thousand dollars a month and pay for all my hotels. I cannot stand the sort of people who exist in BC
00:19:08.500
politics. Tons of great people obviously, but the people who are always trying to weasel their way to
00:19:13.780
the top of the pile are the worst people I know. They are the worst. These people were again O'Toole allies
00:19:22.740
right before O'Toole dropped out and then they re-rolled themselves as super conservative Polyev supporters,
00:19:28.980
even though O'Toole was the guy who kept demoting Polyev and shoving all the social conservatives to
00:19:33.300
the back. Don't worry guys, they're now social conservatives themselves, these same guys who
00:19:37.860
are assisting Aaron O'Toole and doing all this stuff. Anyways, with that all being said, thank you
00:19:44.820
guys for watching. Check out the 1BC party. I have linked again the website in the description below as
00:19:51.220
well as atop the comments. Dallas Brody and the party are growing quite steadily right now. We're having
00:19:57.620
events that are like multiple times bigger than all the BC conservative leadership candidates
00:20:02.820
combined. Yesterday Dallas Brody was at a Action for Canada event put on by Tanya Gaw and Danielle
00:20:09.860
Postilli and I believe there's like 250 people there or so. They filled up an entire church auditorium.
00:20:16.100
It wasn't like the biggest church auditorium on the planet, but it was a good-sized crowd in the room.
00:20:19.940
And then they needed to have an overflow room. The overflow room was bigger than most BC conservative
00:20:25.860
leadership candidates events because nobody knows who these people are. They've never taken a risk
00:20:30.580
in their entire lives. Caroline Elliott used to be attacking social conservatives in the BC Liberal
1.00
00:20:35.700
Party. She defended SOGI. She defended Safe Supply. And now guys, she wrote a few articles at Without
00:20:42.580
Diminishment and she did a few interviews on Juno News. Now she's conservative now, guys. Stop. Yes,
00:20:48.420
she is the sister-in-law of Kevin Falcon. Who cares? Who cares? Those are just details that stupid
00:20:57.060
grassroots conservatives care about. Listen to the campaign mercenaries who are being paid gobs of
00:21:02.740
cash by her to pretend that this woman has actually had integrity over time. No. No, she is not.
00:21:08.740
But anyways, without all being said, finally, thanks for watching. Like, share, subscribe,
