00:00:00.000I am so excited because we have a brand new political feud brewing in Canadian politics between Liberal MP Mark Gerritsen and Conservative MP Jamil Javani, and I don't think Jamil Javani even knows it's happening.
00:00:16.300We have a one-sided feud where only Mark Gerritsen is actively involved, and he is somehow losing the feud.0.98
00:00:25.300It all started because Giovanni made a video saying maybe Prime Minister Mark Carney shouldn't go to pride parades where there are half-naked people all over the place.0.97
00:00:37.020It kind of lowers the office to do things like that.0.97
00:00:40.58090% of people probably agree with Giovanni, but Gerritsen tried to make a video shaming Giovanni for saying this, and it absolutely blew up in his face.
00:00:50.760he tried to compare Carney taking photos with dudes in underwear wearing dog masks
00:00:56.500to Giovanni taking a photo with a boxer who wasn't wearing his shirt.
00:01:01.600He pretended those were two equivalent things.
00:01:05.560Gerritsen lost that round of the feud that he started,
00:01:09.280but now he is back to try and draw blood on Giovanni with his second attempt
00:01:14.820to shame Giovanni for saying common-sense patriotic Canadian things
00:01:20.020about how immigrants who come to canada should assimilate to canadian culture check this out
00:01:29.540unpack but right from the start he says this proud to be another video by jamil javani one
00:01:35.780of pier poliev's conservative mps and as much as i really don't want to do a second video on him in
00:01:40.420less than a week i really can't ignore his canada day message he couldn't ignore it guys he wanted
00:01:47.140to ignore the video, but he just couldn't. He has to do it to stand up for decency and morality
00:01:55.840in our politics. He could have absolutely ignored the video. He is making this video because he is
00:02:01.460butthurt that the reaction to his last video was so negative, arguing again. Taking photos with
00:02:07.920guys wearing songs in public is the same as taking a photo with a boxer. I made another video on that
00:02:14.420previous instance go check it out i'll link it at the top of the comments below because it might be
00:02:19.540one of the most anti-canadian things you'll hear being framed as patriotism there's a lot to unpack
00:02:24.580but right from the start he says this proud to be of a nation that assimilated waves of newcomers
00:02:31.860into a culture that did not fragment but assimilated that sounds completely fair to me
00:02:39.620That's a good thing that we're a country that used to actually have immigrants who came here sort of join in on the Canadian culture that was being built up.
00:02:51.320You can throw some of your own ingredients into that culture, but you have to assimilate to what generally everyone else is doing.
00:02:58.660Perfectly fine patriotic Canadian thing to say into a culture.
00:03:03.880Okay, stop right there because that's not Canada.
00:03:07.020Canada didn't build itself by forcing people to become the same.0.79
00:03:10.440In fact, some of the darkest chapters of our history come from trying to do exactly that to Indigenous peoples.1.00
00:03:58.640but then says, well, part of that assimilation wasn't good.
00:04:02.180We built a mosaic where people keep their language,
00:04:04.780their culture their identity and i've seen this firsthand i grew up the son of dutch and italian
00:04:09.580immigrants where celebrating those cultures wasn't the exception it was the norm that wasn't
00:04:13.980fragmentation that was the whole point in fact it's one of the things that we always point to is
00:04:18.780a key difference between us and the united states so reframing canada as an assimilation project
00:04:24.220isn't a small mistake it's a complete rewrite of our history and that matters because it sets up
00:04:29.660everything else because once you can define difference as the problem you can start to
00:04:33.340to blame it for everything. And that's exactly what happens next. I'm sorry, have you guys been
00:04:38.680to America recently? I just got off of a five-hour road trip from the United States back to my home
00:04:47.000in Calgary. And I can tell you they weren't going around beating people in the streets if they heard
00:04:52.700them speaking Spanish or French. There are many people who speak many languages in America. The
00:05:00.440whole idea that no no canada is a cultural mosaic and america is this disgusting melting pot
00:05:07.080no canada was a melting pot too up until very recently then the basically it kind of started
00:05:14.040around the 90s or so but mostly with justin trudeau's liberal government where we just started
00:05:20.600basically not requiring you to have any english skills to assimilate at all to canadian culture
00:05:26.680You can just do your own thing, find your part of the city where we just make it mini Punjab or we just make it mini Somalia and keep doing your thing.0.64
00:05:34.320That's a bad thing. But Mark but Mark Gerritsen here is pretending that we've always just been doing this.
00:05:39.440Everyone just could just show up and do whatever they wanted.
00:05:42.560No. And part of the reason why we used to not do this is it wasn't possible to survive in Canada without learning English and trying to find things in common with everyone else and trying to actually kind of move towards what the cultural norms of the country are.
00:05:57.000We have this ridiculous need with liberals in Canada
00:06:00.860to pretend that Canada is so different from the United States.0.72
00:06:05.080We're more similar than we are different,
00:06:06.960but for some reason that makes them very upset to think about.
00:06:11.520But now I'll get this back up on screen,
00:06:13.780and we'll get into the next portion of his response.
00:06:18.500I encourage you to be proud to be of a nation
00:06:21.960founded on the rule of law and religious freedom.
00:06:25.180when you hear prayers from another religion blasting in the public square in Regina.
00:06:32.600You can't have it both ways, Jamil.0.96
00:06:34.420You don't get to celebrate religious freedom
00:06:36.480and then complain the moment it becomes visible and unfamiliar.
00:06:48.640It's not just general freedom of religion0.78
00:06:51.180to be able to blast a islamic call to prayer in regina that's not the same as church bells that0.84
00:06:58.380just kind of ding when church is coming into service and usually church bells and church
00:07:03.420services tend to be around round numbers when they would be going off tell the time anyways
00:07:08.060you are literally blasting a religious message into the open air into the public which is not
00:07:15.280freedom of religion that is like i again name me another religion that just does that there's no0.98
00:07:21.640one jamil's not saying oh my goodness i saw a muslim the other day and i'm angry about it he's
00:07:26.200saying i don't like when one religion starts basically trying to take up the public square
00:07:31.620in opposition to pretty much everybody else starts off as a message about pride but very
00:07:37.020quickly turns into a message about decline there has been an effort to reshape and redefine our
00:07:43.180history to break us from the traditions that have made us a special nation fear that the country is
00:07:49.860somehow being lost that's not pride that's grievance then there's the rule of law line
00:07:54.940i'm sorry are we not allowed to say that there has been a decline in the quality of immigration
00:08:01.820people are just kind of showing up here to see if they can get you know a job and that's pretty
00:08:06.780much as far as their loyalty to the country goes some people are really just coming here because
00:08:11.280they might be able to also get on government programs if they get permanent residency status.
00:08:15.800It absolutely goes on. Just look at all the people who are claiming to be refugees from countries
00:08:20.840where there's no need to be a refugee from there, and they are getting better benefits than Canadians0.93
00:08:26.280on social welfare programs. You can vocalize issues with that. I would hope that you can do0.69
00:08:33.580that. But apparently, Mark Gerritsen has just defined pointing out problems as being unpatriotic,
00:08:40.480Which isn't patriotism. That's just ridiculous liberal nationalism. No, everything is perfectly fine because my favorite party is currently in charge. And if you complain, you're not a patriot. When in fact, Jamil Javani is being patriotic. He wants us to actually, you know, rise to a better standard, to a higher standard when it comes to what we expect culturally from new immigrants and what we actually want our country to be like.0.90
00:09:07.320Do we want lower crime or higher crime?0.95
00:09:10.280Do we want people to be more economically independent or more reliant on government?
00:09:15.600It starts off broad, but watch how quickly it narrows.
00:09:19.120When you see that we can't even remove the people who have illegally stayed in this country beyond what their visa provided.
00:09:28.500It's presented like a defining national value, but then immediately used to point to one specific issue, one specific narrative.
00:09:35.320That's not principle, that's selective framing.
00:09:38.100And when you step back and look at all of this together,
00:10:00.160He did not, he just completely sidestepped
00:10:02.380the issue that Jamil Giovanni brought up there.
00:10:04.120a legitimate one we have like half a million people in this country who are overstaying visas
00:10:09.320and should be shown the door and jamil giovanni bringing that issue up is considered like an
00:10:15.680attack on diversity like shut up it's it's so mark garrettson is such a true believer
00:10:23.080it's really hard to even watch content he makes and connect with it on like an intellectual
00:10:29.280a logical level because it's simply he's just defined Jamil Giovanni as wrong or not believing
00:10:35.540in like the mantra of the Liberal Party without ever actually investigating himself what the
00:10:42.240Liberal Party stands for and if its record is good or bad like can he actually I would love to hear
00:10:48.020from Mark Harrison is illegal immigration is people staying over visas wrong and what should
00:10:54.720be done with that. I guarantee you he could not answer that. He would feel there would be something
00:10:59.340like bubbling up inside him that would make him angry at the question even being posed. Should
00:11:04.460people illegally being in the country, should they be removed from the country? That is probably1.00
00:11:10.080considered too Trumpian for him to actually enforce your own immigration law. But let's finish up this
00:11:15.620video. Canada's strength was never about forcing people to be the same. It was about being confident
00:11:20.900enough to make room for differences without fear. The Conservative Party of Canada needs to decide
00:11:26.300if this is the direction that they want to continue going in. Because when their MPs are
00:11:30.560speaking like this, it's not just a reflection on them, it tells you exactly the direction they
00:11:35.580would like to take the country. I don't know, I don't see what's wrong with what Jamil Giovanni
00:11:41.300said. Like, if that's the direction that the Conservative Party would take the country in,
00:11:46.020a hundred percent i'll try and vote twice just kidding but you know i i'll definitely keep
00:11:51.360voting for the conservatives if they stand for the things that jamil giovanni is talking about
00:11:55.700he's acting like he's acting as if somehow i'm trying to like put this into words his
00:12:03.780version of patriotism mark garrett's version of patriotism is basically surrendering the country
00:12:10.520you're a patriotic canadian if you believe that canada doesn't really stand for anything we're
00:12:15.860like an economic zone where people just show up, set up shop, and do whatever they're doing at
00:12:20.480home. Canada is just some amorphous blob, and we should be proud of that amorphous blob, which
00:12:26.980means that you're not actually proud of Canada because you don't know what Canada even is.
00:12:31.040You've just defined Canada as a place where people can show up and do whatever they want,
00:12:35.180speak their own language, practice their own culture, practice their own religion. It's like,
00:12:38.880okay, that sounds like just a black box of a country where it could literally be anything
00:12:44.180inside. And whatever it happens to be, Mark Aronson was like, oh, fantastic. That's fantastic.
00:12:48.920That's super Canadian. You're like, Mark, that's Somalia. I just showed you a photo of Somalia.1.00
00:12:53.700You're like, super Canadian. Guys, there's people from Somalia and India and China and every country,
00:13:03.180European countries, African countries, Caribbean countries, South American countries.
00:13:06.680And they show up here and they complain about the fact that there are tons of people
00:13:10.560from other countries, as well as their home country, who shouldn't be here because they
00:13:15.100clearly don't want to be here because they aren't assimilating at all. When you show up to a new0.99
00:13:19.160place, you should, you know, when in Rome, do what the Romans do. You should at least somewhat1.00
00:13:25.900want to be able to interact with your neighbors. But the liberals have defined wanting to even be
00:13:31.880able to see eye to eye with the person next door as anti-patriotic, because they never say that the
00:13:37.540people showing up here should want to see eye to eye with you. It's your duty as someone who
00:13:41.940already lives here to see eye to eye with them, which means that the country means nothing and
00:13:46.860the country is simply whatever country we're becoming more like. That's just absolutely
00:13:52.120pathetic. But I am so into Mark Gerritsen making these videos, not only because his points are0.96
00:13:58.340incredibly weak and stupid, but it actually does expose the kind of psyche of many liberal MPs,0.99
00:14:04.420at least the ones who are kind of true believers. There are many kind of opportunistic politicians1.00
00:14:09.580who run for the liberals because it's the easier party to win for, but then there are people like
00:14:15.040Mark Gerritsen who are the true believers who truly have this post-nationalist ideology in
00:14:21.480their brain. We're probably going to see him making more videos about Jamil Giovanni, and I
00:14:26.260encourage Jamil to make videos to basically bait Mark Gerritsen into making video responses to him.
00:14:32.300Remember in the Pride Parade video response that Mark Gerritsen did, he literally said, well, you know, yes, Mark Carney went to a Pride Parade where there were tons of half-naked people wearing dog masks, but you know at other events there are sometimes women who aren't wearing proper clothes.
00:14:49.820it's like can you show me one example of a woman or a man not at a pride event we would all
00:14:57.200objectively say is like not properly dressed not like they're wearing a detail of an outfit that
00:15:03.440you don't like i mean like literally you would be like what the heck is that because that was his
00:15:09.160that was the quality of his commentary jamil giovanni taking a picture next to a shirtless
00:15:14.360boxer wearing like the big bulky boxing shorts that is the same as a dude wearing like a thong
00:15:21.020in public and like nothing else and like Mark Carney giving him like a bear hug that is the
00:15:27.880same the boxer and like the dude wearing a thong or the dude wearing like a dog mask but Mark
00:15:34.120Garrison is simply like anti-conservative that's kind of like what his liberal post-nationalist
00:15:40.280ideology contains just anti-conservatism so if jamil said it he has to come up with like some
00:15:46.280convoluted reason why it's like bigoted and evil jamil actually made a really funny video uh to
00:15:52.960like kind of like clock all the responses he was getting to his pride video because he was getting
00:15:57.620so many liberals starting to make like really racist comments about how he looks and all that
00:16:03.720because he had criticized the purity of pride parades.
00:16:09.220You are not allowed to say anything about pride parades
00:16:11.860or the liberals, they're going to be like,0.99
