00:00:00.000 I just wanted to make this quick follow-up video to my previous video discussing the Canadian Veterans Affairs Ministry being unable to say the word Easter in their Easter posts,
00:00:11.080 instead referring to this time of year as the March holiday season.
00:00:15.720 Very pathetic and sad, but what's even more pathetic and sad is the leftist reaction on Twitter to conservatives noticing what the Veterans Affairs Ministry is doing.
00:00:26.440 Because apparently if you're a conservative and you notice how ridiculous this, that's very bad.
00:00:31.260 It's actually your fault for even noticing the Veterans Affairs Ministry is super woke, and actually you should be talking about serious issues,
00:00:38.280 but if you talk about those serious issues, then it's bad that you're not talking about it in the way that liberals want you to talk about it.
00:00:44.980 This is really the sign of a political movement in deep decline.
00:00:49.360 Usually your activist base are the most willing to lie and twist the truth to defend a corrupt government,
00:00:55.100 but when they're not even defending the actions of the liberal government anymore,
00:00:58.940 and they're more so just attacking conservatives for noticing those bad actions, is really telling about what's going on.
00:01:06.500 So what really kicked off my interest in making this video is this guy who tends to follow me around and posts and lines at me all the time on social media,
00:01:15.740 in response to conservative politicians and communications people noticing what the Veterans Affairs Ministry did,
00:01:21.640 he posted this, it's Jason Scott, and he said, I'll post my Twitter follow-up to him in the description below if you want to go see that,
00:01:30.640 but he said,
00:01:31.060 Well, Jason, when conservatives actually call out real-life issues like the housing policy that the liberals have been putting out that's been exacerbating the crazy housing crisis,
00:01:57.860 then you also complain at them for not liking their approach to the issue.
00:02:02.400 You actually don't care if conservatives take serious issues seriously.
00:02:06.120 They do.
00:02:06.860 You just don't like the fact that they're not leftists.
00:02:09.460 So when conservatives call out leftists in the Veterans Affairs Ministry,
00:02:13.180 it turns into, why are you noticing it?
00:02:15.140 There's other issues you can be talking about.
00:02:17.160 Well, conservatives talk about actual serious issues all the time.
00:02:19.960 Tax reform, spending reform, tough-on-crime policies that they want implemented,
00:02:25.560 cracking down on liberal government corruption.
00:02:28.120 They do this all day long.
00:02:29.860 And when they take a slight break from talking about those things,
00:02:33.080 to notice that the Veterans Affairs Ministry is run by insane people,
00:02:36.460 at least in the communications department,
00:02:38.480 now you're super upset about them.
00:02:40.340 And this isn't just this sort of Easter issue.
00:02:43.280 I see stuff like this on social media all the time.
00:02:45.740 I tried to pull some generally representative samples.
00:02:48.360 It's hard to kind of search up stuff like this,
00:02:50.660 but I see it every single day.
00:02:53.140 Social media posts like this, when conservatives talk about the carbon tax,
00:02:56.540 it's actually the conservatives being a broken record for talking about the carbon tax.
00:03:00.860 I can't believe they keep harping on this carbon tax issue.
00:03:03.800 I wish they would just leave it alone.
00:03:05.540 If that is the essence of your argument on social media, you've lost.
00:03:10.000 You've lost.
00:03:10.580 You can say whatever you want, especially these anonymous accounts
00:03:13.780 who could just focus on any issue and argue it in any way they want
00:03:18.260 because it's not like the media is going to follow up with them.
00:03:20.340 They're random people on the internet.
00:03:21.800 When this becomes your argument, stop talking about it.
00:03:24.980 You've clearly decisively lost.
00:03:28.400 Anyways, so I had people like this responding to the conservative communication director,
00:03:33.600 Sarah Fisher.
00:03:34.560 Sarah Fisher, who posted,
00:03:36.340 Canadian men and women didn't sacrifice their lives to defend the principles of freedom
00:03:40.880 for our government to classify Easter as March holiday season.
00:03:44.440 I think a very good comment from Sarah Fisher.
00:03:46.940 And this guy, John Mark Taylor, falls up to her with,
00:03:50.540 people often say we're not a serious country.
00:03:52.900 I usually push back.
00:03:54.220 But this kind of performative rage may just prove that I'm wrong.
00:03:58.020 What are you meaning performative rage?
00:03:59.800 You know what actually kind of does bother people
00:04:01.700 when the federal government is so pedantically woke
00:04:04.580 that they refuse to say Easter?
00:04:06.280 It's a small thing that tends to point to larger issues inside the federal government.
00:04:12.040 There is deep left-wing ideological corruption inside our federal government.
00:04:16.620 And this was just a big demarcation of how bad it's gotten.
00:04:20.880 Yes, you could say, well, it's just a couple of words.
00:04:22.820 Yes, but like I said in my previous video,
00:04:24.780 they would have had to have a meeting to discuss how they were going to make this post.
00:04:28.400 Do you think it was just the person in social media,
00:04:30.980 like the social media department of the Veterans Affairs Office,
00:04:33.640 just decided on the phraseology March holiday season?
00:04:37.620 No, they did not.
00:04:38.820 That is the most bureaucratic term I've ever heard.
00:04:41.680 And there was a meeting involved in pushing for that.
00:04:44.720 And we get other people like this posting against Leslie Lewis mentioning this issue.
00:04:49.660 Can Leslie Lewis explain why she is being so petty about a government department? 1.00
00:04:53.940 CPC are seen as negative harbingers.
00:04:57.200 Not a good look.
00:04:58.280 Propose a good policy for once.
00:04:59.720 Just once.
00:05:00.420 I don't think the party has one.
00:05:02.020 They propose them all the time, moron.
00:05:04.560 But you don't actually care because you're just anti-conservative.
00:05:07.780 You don't actually care about taking serious issues seriously.
00:05:10.960 You just don't want conservatives getting into power.
00:05:13.780 So when conservatives notice something that the liberals do that's wrong,
00:05:17.080 that's not the biggest issue on the planet.
00:05:19.260 This just shows the conservatives aren't serious.
00:05:21.500 Maybe you guys aren't serious.
00:05:22.900 I know this is not a representative of the liberal government or the left-wing movement,
00:05:27.700 but it's still telling that these people attacking conservatives cannot actually point to something
00:05:33.200 actually wrong the conservatives are doing, merely that they're not getting out of the
00:05:37.660 way for the liberals to do whatever they want. 0.83
00:05:39.420 I can't believe the opposition in Canada is opposing the government.
00:05:43.360 Wow.
00:05:43.800 Who would have thunk that that would have happened?
00:05:46.320 You know, people like this, they are including all the holidays you mentioned.
00:05:49.780 What's the difference exactly?
00:05:51.000 The taxpayers that fund it come from a variety of backgrounds.
00:05:55.020 Okay, but this, as we've gone over, is a weekend where the only holidays currently going
00:06:00.700 on are Christian holidays.
00:06:03.100 Even Passover is in April this year.
00:06:05.700 I'm not sure if any of these people looked it up.
00:06:07.720 Actually, I can guarantee they didn't look it up because we still get posts like, oh, not
00:06:11.800 this one.
00:06:12.640 But like we get posts from other people saying, well, you don't want them to acknowledge other
00:06:17.600 religious minorities?
00:06:18.680 No, they can acknowledge those people all they want.
00:06:22.220 I'm perfectly happy with them acknowledging any religious minorities.
00:06:26.840 The thing is, in this weekend, where it was only Christian things going on, the liberal
00:06:32.180 government couldn't bring themselves to acknowledge the fact that it was Easter.
00:06:37.160 Even the independent senators group, which are effectively liberals on Canada, said it, the
00:06:42.360 liberals just appoint independents to make it seem more independent when it's not at all.
00:06:46.240 Even they put out an Easter message today.
00:06:50.860 They know that this weekend is Easter, which is why they are wishing everyone a great Easter.
00:06:58.500 This pedantic nonsense that, well, it's only Easter on Sunday.
00:07:02.920 Okay, I know Good Friday is called Good Friday, but it is called Good Friday because it is part
00:07:09.340 of this Easter period.
00:07:10.720 There is, you know, the death of Christ and the three days before he rises.
00:07:15.400 It is Easter.
00:07:16.880 They call Good Friday, Good Friday because it is the start and Easter and the Sunday is
00:07:22.260 the resurrection.
00:07:23.280 So it is called Easter altogether.
00:07:25.700 I don't know why I have to explain this.
00:07:27.720 You only have to explain this when people are twisting themselves up in balls trying to
00:07:31.800 defend the liberal government from doing something stupid.
00:07:34.480 Well, it's minor, Wyatt.
00:07:36.740 You shouldn't be talking about minor issues.
00:07:38.320 Let's talk about the carbon tax.
00:07:39.240 Shut up with the carbon tax.
00:07:41.000 You guys are broken records.
00:07:43.100 I find this so obnoxious.
00:07:45.060 And again, I'm not even mad or anything like that.
00:07:47.560 It's just tiring.
00:07:49.080 Really, guys, do you think this is going to dig you out of the polls pointing out that
00:07:52.600 conservatives are making a big deal about something that's not a big deal?
00:07:55.680 Well, it's only as much of a deal as people think it's a big deal.
00:07:59.020 And the fact that this is trafficked around social media a lot in just under a day kind of
00:08:04.420 shows that people actually kind of do care about stuff like this.
00:08:07.200 When their government can't even functionally put out a good Easter message, that's sad.
00:08:13.300 Oh, yeah.
00:08:13.600 So this was the one I wanted to talk before.
00:08:15.520 This guy says, easy to ignore that this period is also very important to Jews and Muslims
00:08:19.480 when you're trying to rage farm Christians.
00:08:22.020 Only Christians believe they exclusively own any calendar period of their own worship. 0.73
00:08:25.600 And it's funny that you're like complaining about other people rage farming and then you
00:08:30.220 take a weird shot at Christians somehow being like religious supremacists at the end, but
00:08:34.800 nobody else is.
00:08:36.140 Also, again, it's not a holiday period for Jews or Muslims because there are no holidays
00:08:41.560 in this calendar year during this portion of time.
00:08:45.140 When I looked up the multi-faith calendar, there was like nothing in March for anyone else.
00:08:50.340 Like, yes, there's ongoing Ramadan, but you don't post about it every day.
00:08:53.540 You post about it when it starts and when it ends.
00:08:55.860 And so right now, the only thing going on is Easter.
00:08:59.940 But stop noticing.
00:09:01.080 Stop noticing that the Veterans Affairs Ministry is calling it the March holiday season.
00:09:05.020 Stop noticing it.
00:09:06.020 Actually, it's technically not Easter today.
00:09:08.120 Nobody in their life has ever said March holiday season.
00:09:10.980 Not a single person.
00:09:12.500 Let's not pretend that this was a natural, organic thing that we would have seen posted
00:09:16.240 back in 2005.
00:09:18.460 It's not.
00:09:19.280 But it's clownish.
00:09:20.920 That is why people are making a big deal about it.
00:09:24.080 Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:09:26.800 Normal plugs.
