Jonathan Wilkinson's fearmongering against the pro-life members of parliament, Arnold Veerson, and his views on abortion rights, and why they should be supported by the majority of Canadians, is just pure nonsense.

00:00:00.000 As we all have been playing witness to over the past several months, Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Party support base has been shrinking and shrinking.
00:00:09.340 And in response to their shrinking popularity base, they've been making every single mistake possible to make sure that they don't actually regain any credibility with the Canadian voting public.
00:00:20.020 When you fearmonger against your opposition, you're not actually making people trust you again.
00:00:25.140 All you're doing is throwing mud at your opposition, which in theory might make people not like them, but that doesn't mean people will actually like you.
00:00:32.900 On top of that, their attacks on the conservatives and pure poly are utterly incompetent and are not hurting the conservatives one bit.
00:00:39.740 And the Liberals, by fearmongering, you're basically demonstrating that you have nothing left in your own arsenal to prove that you should still be in charge of the country.
00:00:48.560 You're just saying that the other guys are also bad, which is not exactly a great pitch for yourself.
00:00:53.320 And that's what brings me to this Jonathan Wilkinson video that the Liberals posted, where he's trying to fearmonger against the conservatives for having pro-life members of parliament.
00:01:04.580 Just letting the Liberals know, there is a large portion of Canadians who are also pro-life.
00:01:09.940 Actually, whenever the Liberals try and claim this is an extremely pro-choice country, they will say a statistic like,
00:01:15.360 Did you know that 80% of Canadians are somewhat pro-choice?
00:01:19.960 Well, that's like saying the exact opposite.
00:01:21.960 That 80% of Canadians are somewhat pro-life.
00:01:24.620 So the Liberals going so extremely anti-pro-life is going to just make Canadians more pro-life.
00:01:31.380 This is just fearmongering that's utterly empty and it's going to lead to their own demise.
00:01:36.700 Check out this video where Jonathan Wilkinson is looking very forlorn about, you know, Arnold Veerson saying sensible things.
00:01:43.760 I want to present a petition today.
00:01:46.220 They are calling on the government of Canada and this place to strengthen the protections for the pre-born in Canada.
00:01:52.900 Well, that's pretty disturbing.
00:01:54.720 I mean, I would say for folks who've been watching.
00:01:58.100 Disturbing.
00:01:59.300 Disturbing.
00:02:00.020 It's disturbing that Arnold Veerson cares about the safety of the unborn.
00:02:04.700 It's disturbing.
00:02:05.500 You can disagree with Arnold Veerson's perspective.
00:02:08.340 If you think it's disturbing, that's disturbing.
00:02:12.180 It demonstrates why the Liberals have gotten so crazy that they think that's disturbing to the point where they and the NDP voted against a legal protection to make it an upgraded offense if you assault a pregnant woman and cause her to miscarry her child.
00:02:26.220 The Liberals and NDP voted against that legal measure because they said it was an attack on abortion rights.
00:02:34.720 For a pregnant woman who wanted to keep her child to be assaulted and lose her child, it would be against abortion rights to actually punish that criminal with upgraded penalties and sentences for having assaulted a pregnant woman in that matter.
00:02:50.300 These people are not pro-choice. 0.99
00:02:52.020 They're insane people.
00:02:52.980 That is a position where I don't think you could get more than 5% of Canadians agreeing with you.
00:02:58.920 And all that 5% is in the Liberals and the NDP parties.
00:03:02.540 It's like the basis of those parties.
00:03:04.440 But Jonathan Wilkinson is going to keep going on to somehow pretend that Arnold Veerson is outside of the mainstream norm when, if anything, he's proving that he's a... 0.97
00:03:13.980 I don't even know what the word to use, just a moron, just a psychopath, to see anything that Arnold Veerson is saying as somehow extreme and not representative of large chunks of the Canadian population. 0.94
00:03:24.900 What's been going on in the United States? 0.99
00:03:26.900 Guys, historic.
00:03:27.900 The United States has overturned the terrible decision Roe versus Wade.
00:03:31.900 This was, what, an embedded abortion as a right in the United States that's been overturned now. 0.98
00:03:37.840 It feels so good.
00:03:40.440 Enormously disturbing to see that in the South, but it's even more disturbing to see it actually coming to Canada.
00:03:45.660 We are called to protect the dignity of life from conception to natural death.
00:03:49.900 Mr. Veerson, Arnold Veerson, standing up for the dignity of life from conception to natural death is disturbing to you, Jonathan.
00:03:57.640 I don't think anyone would actually disagree with Arnold Veerson that we should protect the sanctity of life.
00:04:03.280 Jonathan Wilkinson is actively taking the position that sanctity of life is bad and that if you're a sensible person like him, if you're a decent human being like him, you vote against bills that would have upgraded penalties for criminals who assault pregnant women.
00:04:17.860 You would vote against bills to ban sex-selective abortion.
00:04:22.220 Abortion for the only purpose of eliminating a female child is perfectly in line with the values that Jonathan Wilkinson holds. 0.77
00:04:29.460 If you pull people on those practices, 95% of them are against them.
00:04:33.880 There is a large portion of extreme measures that people are totally willing to ban.
00:04:38.860 But Jonathan Wilkinson is not even pro-choice. 0.93
00:04:40.960 He's just crazy.
00:04:41.840 And so he's going to then just simply fear-monger against the sensible position that Arnold Veerson and other conservatives have in order to try and, I don't know, dig the liberals out of the polling hole that they're in. 0.65
00:04:54.140 But it's not going to work because fear-mongering doesn't build a credibility.
00:04:57.320 If anything, this is just very gratuitous the way he's advertising all this stuff.
00:05:01.520 I'll let him finish here.
00:05:02.580 Veerson is saying things that I think are rejected by the vast, vast majority of folks.
00:05:07.540 It just isn't by the polling statistics.
00:05:10.520 If you actually pull on specific practices, he is very much in line with what Canadians think.
00:05:16.540 But it's not just Mr. Veerson.
00:05:17.900 It's people like Kathy Wagenthal.
00:05:19.720 Conservatives stand for equality between men and women from the instant of conception.
00:05:25.120 And a range of others that sit in Mr. Pagliot's caucus.
00:05:31.960 Okay, I'm not sure why this is supposed to...
00:05:34.220 I get that the abortion debate was behind us.
00:05:36.160 That we were actually in a society that valued choice.
00:05:40.040 Clearly, that's...
00:05:40.700 The choice of criminals to beat pregnant women and not have any upgraded sentence for having killed their child.
00:05:46.660 That's the type of choice that Jonathan Wilkinson stands for.
00:05:49.920 This is why I reject the point that you get with some more red Tory-ish conservatives when they say,
00:05:56.140 don't bring up abortion, don't bring up life issues at all.
00:05:58.660 It's toxic.
00:05:59.360 People don't want to hear about it.
00:06:00.500 No, no.
00:06:01.000 Point at these people. 0.98
00:06:02.180 They have crazy positions. 0.96
00:06:03.600 That is disgusting, the sorts of things that Jonathan Wilkinson, the Liberals, and the NDP have voted for.
00:06:09.160 It's not a pro-choice position.
00:06:10.980 It's simply an anti-life position.
00:06:13.640 They have anti-life positions on MAID.
00:06:16.000 He doesn't want to bring up MAID.
00:06:17.280 Obviously, he's not going to bring up any of Arnold Veerson or Kathy Wagenthal's opinions about MAID.
00:06:21.920 Because the Liberals have gone so over their skis, they're having to kill their own legislation behind the scenes by passing it,
00:06:28.480 but then sending it to committee and telling the committee not to do anything with it.
00:06:32.220 Because the idea that you're going to let people end their own lives because they're depressed or have a mental illness is unconscionable. 0.96
00:06:41.100 That's disgusting. 0.93
00:06:42.400 Nobody is in favor of that. 0.97
00:06:43.660 And so the Liberals, on the sort of boilerplate mantra that we're in favor of choice, have taken these psychotic positions.
00:06:50.940 And the Conservatives, or just anyone with some sense, should just point at them and say, this is actually what these people believe.
00:06:56.800 These people are not in the mainstream of the country.
00:06:59.700 These people are on the far-out fringe of the anti-life agenda that many, you know, psychotic leftists have.
00:07:06.520 You know, the people who believe in actual degrowth, putting up advertisements in downtown Vancouver and other urban centers in Canada,
00:07:13.980 telling you not to have children because of climate change. 0.86
00:07:17.260 That's ridiculous. 0.91
00:07:18.780 These people, again, are not pro-choice. 0.99
00:07:21.680 They are anti-life.
00:07:22.980 They take anti-life positions that reward the ending of life.
00:07:28.000 That is a problem.
00:07:29.220 We need a government who actually has some moral objectivity on these issues and actually stands for sensible positions.
00:07:34.700 That normal Canadian people actually believe in.
00:07:37.860 Not an opinion that when you have a scuffed poll, you can kind of read a crazy value system into.
00:07:43.460 Again, whenever the Liberals say 80% of people or so are actually pro-choice in this country, somewhat pro-choice.
00:07:49.260 Yes, that means 80% of people on the other side are somewhat pro-life.
00:07:53.160 People want sensible policies, not the psychotic policies of encouraging people to end their lives,
00:08:00.040 offering maid services to disabled people, to veterans and whatnot.
00:08:03.800 That's horrific.
00:08:05.340 We actually need a government who values life because, you know, that might be a good thing,
00:08:09.120 especially when we keep talking about how, like, you know, we have a population in decline.
00:08:13.480 Maybe we shouldn't end the lives of our own citizens and encourage them to do it.
00:08:17.700 Just a thought there.
00:08:19.360 Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:08:22.460 Just letting you know, if you happen to live in my riding of Calgary-Signal Hill,
00:08:26.620 I am running for the Federal Conservative Party nomination.
00:08:29.160 So if you live in this riding and have a federal membership, vote for me number one on your ballot
00:08:33.320 whenever the nomination date gets set for.
00:08:35.920 The last day it can happen is June 24th.
00:08:38.400 So it's going to be coming up pretty quick here in less than a month.
00:08:41.240 And then also, if you want to donate to the legal fund for the National Telegraph,
00:08:48.500 there's a give-send-go link in the description of this video for that.
00:08:51.120 Have a great one, everyone.
00:08:51.700 Have a great one.
