The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Liberal MP makes FOOL of Himself Attack Jamil Jivani's Canada Day Message!

00:00:00.000 I 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.

00:00:16.300 We have a one-sided feud where only Mark Gerritsen is actively involved, and he is somehow losing the feud. 0.98

00:00:25.300 It 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

00:00:37.020 It kind of lowers the office to do things like that. 0.97

00:00:40.580 90% 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.

00:00:50.760 he tried to compare Carney taking photos with dudes in underwear wearing dog masks

00:00:56.500 to Giovanni taking a photo with a boxer who wasn't wearing his shirt.

00:01:01.600 He pretended those were two equivalent things.

00:01:05.560 Gerritsen lost that round of the feud that he started,

00:01:09.280 but now he is back to try and draw blood on Giovanni with his second attempt

00:01:14.820 to shame Giovanni for saying common-sense patriotic Canadian things

00:01:20.020 about how immigrants who come to canada should assimilate to canadian culture check this out

00:01:29.540 unpack but right from the start he says this proud to be another video by jamil javani one

00:01:35.780 of pier poliev's conservative mps and as much as i really don't want to do a second video on him in

00:01:40.420 less than a week i really can't ignore his canada day message he couldn't ignore it guys he wanted

00:01:47.140 to ignore the video, but he just couldn't. He has to do it to stand up for decency and morality

00:01:55.840 in our politics. He could have absolutely ignored the video. He is making this video because he is

00:02:01.460 butthurt that the reaction to his last video was so negative, arguing again. Taking photos with

00:02:07.920 guys wearing songs in public is the same as taking a photo with a boxer. I made another video on that

00:02:14.420 previous instance go check it out i'll link it at the top of the comments below because it might be

00:02:19.540 one of the most anti-canadian things you'll hear being framed as patriotism there's a lot to unpack

00:02:24.580 but right from the start he says this proud to be of a nation that assimilated waves of newcomers

00:02:31.860 into a culture that did not fragment but assimilated that sounds completely fair to me

00:02:39.620 That'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.

00:02:51.320 You can throw some of your own ingredients into that culture, but you have to assimilate to what generally everyone else is doing.

00:02:58.660 Perfectly fine patriotic Canadian thing to say into a culture.

00:03:03.880 Okay, stop right there because that's not Canada.

00:03:07.020 Canada didn't build itself by forcing people to become the same. 0.79

00:03:10.440 In fact, some of the darkest chapters of our history come from trying to do exactly that to Indigenous peoples. 1.00

00:03:15.780 So we did do it. We did do it. 1.00

00:03:18.240 You just said, well, we didn't do that, except the darkest chapters of our history do involve assimilation,

00:03:24.420 which gets very overblown when it comes to Indigenous people.

00:03:28.820 Was there some bad forms of assimilation where they were being kind of draconian about not practicing your culture

00:03:35.220 and not speaking your language.

00:03:36.680 Yes, that did happen.

00:03:37.980 But overall, assimilation did work

00:03:40.540 when it comes to the vast majority of groups in Canada

00:03:43.140 because you don't want balkanization

00:03:45.820 where every group that comes to your country

00:03:48.340 just hives themselves off into their own enclaves

00:03:51.500 and doesn't speak to other people.

00:03:53.420 But I love how Gerritsen,

00:03:54.700 in his first point against Giovanni,

00:03:57.020 basically just admits he's right,

00:03:58.640 but then says, well, part of that assimilation wasn't good.

00:04:02.180 We built a mosaic where people keep their language,

00:04:04.780 their culture their identity and i've seen this firsthand i grew up the son of dutch and italian

00:04:09.580 immigrants where celebrating those cultures wasn't the exception it was the norm that wasn't

00:04:13.980 fragmentation that was the whole point in fact it's one of the things that we always point to is

00:04:18.780 a key difference between us and the united states so reframing canada as an assimilation project

00:04:24.220 isn't a small mistake it's a complete rewrite of our history and that matters because it sets up

00:04:29.660 everything else because once you can define difference as the problem you can start to

00:04:33.340 to blame it for everything. And that's exactly what happens next. I'm sorry, have you guys been

00:04:38.680 to America recently? I just got off of a five-hour road trip from the United States back to my home

00:04:47.000 in Calgary. And I can tell you they weren't going around beating people in the streets if they heard

00:04:52.700 them speaking Spanish or French. There are many people who speak many languages in America. The

00:05:00.440 whole idea that no no canada is a cultural mosaic and america is this disgusting melting pot

00:05:07.080 no canada was a melting pot too up until very recently then the basically it kind of started

00:05:14.040 around the 90s or so but mostly with justin trudeau's liberal government where we just started

00:05:20.600 basically not requiring you to have any english skills to assimilate at all to canadian culture

00:05:26.680 You 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

00:05:34.320 That's a bad thing. But Mark but Mark Gerritsen here is pretending that we've always just been doing this.

00:05:39.440 Everyone just could just show up and do whatever they wanted.

00:05:42.560 No. 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.

00:05:57.000 We have this ridiculous need with liberals in Canada

00:06:00.860 to pretend that Canada is so different from the United States. 0.72

00:06:05.080 We're more similar than we are different,

00:06:06.960 but for some reason that makes them very upset to think about.

00:06:11.520 But now I'll get this back up on screen,

00:06:13.780 and we'll get into the next portion of his response.

00:06:18.500 I encourage you to be proud to be of a nation

00:06:21.960 founded on the rule of law and religious freedom.

00:06:25.180 when you hear prayers from another religion blasting in the public square in Regina.

00:06:32.600 You can't have it both ways, Jamil. 0.96

00:06:34.420 You don't get to celebrate religious freedom

00:06:36.480 and then complain the moment it becomes visible and unfamiliar.

00:06:40.180 That's the whole point of freedom.

00:06:42.020 Not when it's comfortable, when it's different.

00:06:44.560 But it doesn't stop there.

00:06:46.680 I'm sorry.

00:06:48.640 It's not just general freedom of religion 0.78

00:06:51.180 to be able to blast a islamic call to prayer in regina that's not the same as church bells that 0.84

00:06:58.380 just kind of ding when church is coming into service and usually church bells and church

00:07:03.420 services tend to be around round numbers when they would be going off tell the time anyways

00:07:08.060 you are literally blasting a religious message into the open air into the public which is not

00:07:15.280 freedom of religion that is like i again name me another religion that just does that there's no 0.98

00:07:21.640 one jamil's not saying oh my goodness i saw a muslim the other day and i'm angry about it he's

00:07:26.200 saying i don't like when one religion starts basically trying to take up the public square

00:07:31.620 in opposition to pretty much everybody else starts off as a message about pride but very

00:07:37.020 quickly turns into a message about decline there has been an effort to reshape and redefine our

00:07:43.180 history to break us from the traditions that have made us a special nation fear that the country is

00:07:49.860 somehow being lost that's not pride that's grievance then there's the rule of law line

00:07:54.940 i'm sorry are we not allowed to say that there has been a decline in the quality of immigration

00:08:01.820 people are just kind of showing up here to see if they can get you know a job and that's pretty

00:08:06.780 much as far as their loyalty to the country goes some people are really just coming here because

00:08:11.280 they might be able to also get on government programs if they get permanent residency status.

00:08:15.800 It absolutely goes on. Just look at all the people who are claiming to be refugees from countries

00:08:20.840 where there's no need to be a refugee from there, and they are getting better benefits than Canadians 0.93

00:08:26.280 on social welfare programs. You can vocalize issues with that. I would hope that you can do 0.69

00:08:33.580 that. But apparently, Mark Gerritsen has just defined pointing out problems as being unpatriotic,

00:08:40.480 Which 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

00:09:07.320 Do we want lower crime or higher crime? 0.95

00:09:10.280 Do we want people to be more economically independent or more reliant on government?

00:09:15.600 It starts off broad, but watch how quickly it narrows.

00:09:19.120 When you see that we can't even remove the people who have illegally stayed in this country beyond what their visa provided.

00:09:28.500 It's presented like a defining national value, but then immediately used to point to one specific issue, one specific narrative.

00:09:35.320 That's not principle, that's selective framing.

00:09:38.100 And when you step back and look at all of this together,

00:09:40.920 redefining Canada's assimilation,

00:09:42.700 contradicting religious freedom,

00:09:44.180 and framing diversity as a threat,

00:09:45.800 you start to see a pattern.

00:09:47.260 I'm sorry, is he, I'm sorry here,

00:09:50.500 is Mark Gerritsen redefining diversity

00:09:53.580 as people overstaying visas? 0.56

00:09:55.920 Oh, you just don't like people illegally in Canada

00:09:58.360 because you hate diversity.

00:10:00.160 He did not, he just completely sidestepped

00:10:02.380 the issue that Jamil Giovanni brought up there.

00:10:04.120 a legitimate one we have like half a million people in this country who are overstaying visas

00:10:09.320 and should be shown the door and jamil giovanni bringing that issue up is considered like an

00:10:15.680 attack on diversity like shut up it's it's so mark garrettson is such a true believer

00:10:23.080 it's really hard to even watch content he makes and connect with it on like an intellectual

00:10:29.280 a logical level because it's simply he's just defined Jamil Giovanni as wrong or not believing

00:10:35.540 in like the mantra of the Liberal Party without ever actually investigating himself what the

00:10:42.240 Liberal Party stands for and if its record is good or bad like can he actually I would love to hear

00:10:48.020 from Mark Harrison is illegal immigration is people staying over visas wrong and what should

00:10:54.720 be done with that. I guarantee you he could not answer that. He would feel there would be something

00:10:59.340 like bubbling up inside him that would make him angry at the question even being posed. Should

00:11:04.460 people illegally being in the country, should they be removed from the country? That is probably 1.00

00:11:10.080 considered too Trumpian for him to actually enforce your own immigration law. But let's finish up this

00:11:15.620 video. Canada's strength was never about forcing people to be the same. It was about being confident

00:11:20.900 enough to make room for differences without fear. The Conservative Party of Canada needs to decide

00:11:26.300 if this is the direction that they want to continue going in. Because when their MPs are

00:11:30.560 speaking like this, it's not just a reflection on them, it tells you exactly the direction they

00:11:35.580 would like to take the country. I don't know, I don't see what's wrong with what Jamil Giovanni

00:11:41.300 said. Like, if that's the direction that the Conservative Party would take the country in,

00:11:46.020 a hundred percent i'll try and vote twice just kidding but you know i i'll definitely keep

00:11:51.360 voting for the conservatives if they stand for the things that jamil giovanni is talking about

00:11:55.700 he's acting like he's acting as if somehow i'm trying to like put this into words his

00:12:03.780 version of patriotism mark garrett's version of patriotism is basically surrendering the country

00:12:10.520 you're a patriotic canadian if you believe that canada doesn't really stand for anything we're

00:12:15.860 like an economic zone where people just show up, set up shop, and do whatever they're doing at

00:12:20.480 home. Canada is just some amorphous blob, and we should be proud of that amorphous blob, which

00:12:26.980 means that you're not actually proud of Canada because you don't know what Canada even is.

00:12:31.040 You've just defined Canada as a place where people can show up and do whatever they want,

00:12:35.180 speak their own language, practice their own culture, practice their own religion. It's like,

00:12:38.880 okay, that sounds like just a black box of a country where it could literally be anything

00:12:44.180 inside. And whatever it happens to be, Mark Aronson was like, oh, fantastic. That's fantastic.

00:12:48.920 That's super Canadian. You're like, Mark, that's Somalia. I just showed you a photo of Somalia. 1.00

00:12:53.700 You're like, super Canadian. Guys, there's people from Somalia and India and China and every country,

00:13:03.180 European countries, African countries, Caribbean countries, South American countries.

00:13:06.680 And they show up here and they complain about the fact that there are tons of people

00:13:10.560 from other countries, as well as their home country, who shouldn't be here because they

00:13:15.100 clearly don't want to be here because they aren't assimilating at all. When you show up to a new 0.99

00:13:19.160 place, you should, you know, when in Rome, do what the Romans do. You should at least somewhat 1.00

00:13:25.900 want to be able to interact with your neighbors. But the liberals have defined wanting to even be

00:13:31.880 able to see eye to eye with the person next door as anti-patriotic, because they never say that the

00:13:37.540 people showing up here should want to see eye to eye with you. It's your duty as someone who

00:13:41.940 already lives here to see eye to eye with them, which means that the country means nothing and

00:13:46.860 the country is simply whatever country we're becoming more like. That's just absolutely

00:13:52.120 pathetic. But I am so into Mark Gerritsen making these videos, not only because his points are 0.96

00:13:58.340 incredibly weak and stupid, but it actually does expose the kind of psyche of many liberal MPs, 0.99

00:14:04.420 at least the ones who are kind of true believers. There are many kind of opportunistic politicians 1.00

00:14:09.580 who run for the liberals because it's the easier party to win for, but then there are people like

00:14:15.040 Mark Gerritsen who are the true believers who truly have this post-nationalist ideology in

00:14:21.480 their brain. We're probably going to see him making more videos about Jamil Giovanni, and I

00:14:26.260 encourage Jamil to make videos to basically bait Mark Gerritsen into making video responses to him.

00:14:32.300 Remember 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.

00:14:49.820 it's like can you show me one example of a woman or a man not at a pride event we would all

00:14:57.200 objectively say is like not properly dressed not like they're wearing a detail of an outfit that

00:15:03.440 you don't like i mean like literally you would be like what the heck is that because that was his

00:15:09.160 that was the quality of his commentary jamil giovanni taking a picture next to a shirtless

00:15:14.360 boxer wearing like the big bulky boxing shorts that is the same as a dude wearing like a thong

00:15:21.020 in public and like nothing else and like Mark Carney giving him like a bear hug that is the

00:15:27.880 same the boxer and like the dude wearing a thong or the dude wearing like a dog mask but Mark

00:15:34.120 Garrison is simply like anti-conservative that's kind of like what his liberal post-nationalist

00:15:40.280 ideology contains just anti-conservatism so if jamil said it he has to come up with like some

00:15:46.280 convoluted reason why it's like bigoted and evil jamil actually made a really funny video uh to

00:15:52.960 like kind of like clock all the responses he was getting to his pride video because he was getting

00:15:57.620 so many liberals starting to make like really racist comments about how he looks and all that

00:16:03.720 because he had criticized the purity of pride parades.

00:16:09.220 You are not allowed to say anything about pride parades

00:16:11.860 or the liberals, they're going to be like, 0.99

00:16:13.660 you're black, you're black. 0.99

00:16:16.000 Did you know, Jamil, that you're black 1.00

00:16:17.580 and I don't like the way you look? 0.95

00:16:19.240 Like literally people were making fun of his appearance

00:16:22.220 as a response to his very common sense position

00:16:27.240 that maybe the prime minister should be like,

00:16:30.120 you know, elevating the office by not, you know, standing next to people who you wouldn't want to

00:16:37.080 be around your own children. I noticed that Mark Carney wasn't walking down the street with his

00:16:42.500 wife and his daughter. And yet we had the liberals trying to shame Pierre Polyev not to go into the

00:16:47.480 event. I'm sorry, should Polyev have shown up with his daughters and his wife? Would that been a good

00:16:54.720 look? Or would the liberals finally step in and be like, oh my goodness, why did Polyev bring his

00:16:58.700 children to this event. If you can't bring your children to the event as a politician, like 90%

00:17:05.320 of the time, probably not an event that you should be going to either. But anyways, with all that

00:17:11.760 being said, thank you guys for watching. Make sure to like, share, and subscribe, and consider hitting
