Summary

Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government are trying to solve Canada's gun problem by targeting law-abiding gun owners and cracking down on those who operate short-term rental properties. In order to do so, they have banned 324 new models of assault-style firearms, and sent some of them over to the Ukrainian military.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. Wait, I shouldn't be referring to you all as guys, I should be
00:00:07.080 referring to you as comrades, because Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his liberal government
00:00:12.480 have decided to go full commie. Maybe they saw their national polling numbers and Trudeau's
00:00:18.240 popularity were falling into a black hole, but apparently they've decided that the solution to
00:00:24.180 their popularity problem is by going after law-abiding gun owners once again, as well as
00:00:30.160 cracking down on those who operate short-term rental properties. I guess they're trying to shore
00:00:35.900 up their left-wing flank, but their left-wing flank of the liberal party is not under threat of being
00:00:42.180 stolen by the NDP or the Greens. Both of those parties have also stagnated in their support,
00:00:47.520 so all Trudeau's doing is throwing even more support over to the conservative party, which as a
00:00:53.820 conservative, I'm entirely okay with. But I still just want to analyze what's going on here, because
00:00:59.520 it's very confusing. We'll first start off with the gun problem, then we will move on to the short-term
00:01:05.380 rental Airbnb thing, because all of this is a full frontal assault on property rights of Canadians.
00:01:12.280 But before I get into the clip from the press conference about the gun ban, I just want to
00:01:16.300 remind you guys, if you're not yet a subscriber, think about subscribing to the channel, go and hit
00:01:20.600 the subscribe button, like this video, leave a comment, and if you want to financially support us,
00:01:25.180 you can also donate to the Give, Send, Go legal fund that we're running. It's linked both in the
00:01:29.960 description below, as well as linked in the comments pinned at the top. Anyways, without further ado,
00:01:36.060 here is our public safety minister, Dominic LeBlanc, announcing this new policy, and also that not
00:01:41.840 only are we banning 324 models of firearms, additionally on top of the 1,100 that they've already banned,
00:01:48.840 but we're going to be sending some of the guns over to the Ukrainian military, which is insane.
00:01:55.360 Today, the government is adding a further 324 unique makes and models of assault-style firearms
00:02:06.780 to the list of prohibited firearms in Canada. Have they ever been able to define what an assault-style
00:02:14.860 firearm is? Because I know I'm pausing it early, but this does play into the thing he's going to
00:02:21.920 say later about sending weapons to the Ukrainian military. What does he think the Ukrainian military
00:02:26.500 is using? Hunting rifles? Old Uncle Joe's shotgun? No, they're using, like, actually fully automatic
00:02:34.580 AR weapons. This prohibition takes effect immediately. This means these firearms can no longer be legally
00:02:44.980 used, sold, or imported in Canada, and can only be transferred or transported under extremely limited
00:02:53.640 circumstances. The government has introduced an amnesty that is currently in force and expires on
00:03:00.880 October 30th, 2025. Notice there that the expiration date is basically after the next election. So after
00:03:10.660 the liberals are out of office and they have no duty to enforce this at all, that's when the immunity
00:03:17.680 phase, the amnesty, ends. And now people have to hand in their weapons or they're going to be
00:03:22.560 confiscated. They know that the conservatives are just going to scrap this. This is all a show.
00:03:27.380 It's just trying to make them seem like they take gun violence seriously. And if you take gun violence
00:03:32.300 seriously, you wouldn't be going after law-abiding gun owners. If anything, you'd be making it easier
00:03:37.180 for law-abiding Canadians to actually obtain weapons to defend themselves. This is a tough concept, I know,
00:03:45.780 for the liberals, but criminals commit crimes. People who go through background checks and go through
00:03:52.680 training to get a possession and acquisition license or a restricted PAL are the least likely
00:03:58.480 to commit a violent crime in Canada. I've seen the stat before and I've been able to go find it
00:04:04.500 as well. This is not just something I'm making up. A law-abiding gun owner or even just a PAL holder
00:04:09.900 is one-third as likely to commit a violent crime or murder somebody than the average Canadian. If anything,
00:04:17.080 we should be encouraging high school students to go get a PAL because it gives them a greater
00:04:22.120 appreciation of the law. But now Dominic's about to move into a very hypocritical part of this policy.
00:04:27.720 To protect individuals who legally purchased these firearms prior to the ban. This amnesty period will
00:04:36.700 protect these individuals from criminal liability as they take steps to come into compliance with the
00:04:44.980 law. During the amnesty period, there is an exception to allow Indigenous peoples exercising a right under
00:04:52.720 Section 35 of the Constitution, as well as those who use firearms for sustenance hunting to continue to
00:05:01.780 use their now prohibited firearms to hunt, if previously non-restricted, until a suitable replacement can be found.
00:05:11.440 So, sorry, but if these weapons are so dangerous, why isn't the the confiscation happening right away?
00:05:18.880 And why can certain people like Indigenous people as well as people who need it for sustenance hunting
00:05:23.840 continue to use them? I thought these were assault weapons of war that are only meant to kill people.
00:05:29.180 Like, obviously not. Obviously, Farmer Joe has a rifle, has a shotgun, has these different models of
00:05:36.160 weapons for a purpose. These are not people getting their firearms smuggled over the border,
00:05:41.680 which apparently the liberals don't care about because they're throwing a fit over Donald Trump
00:05:46.260 wanting them to secure the border, which would actually help protect Canadians from guns coming
00:05:50.840 up from the U.S. But they do want to go after somebody who's packing their heat from Bass Pro Shop,
00:05:57.760 which I can guarantee you represents zero of the weapons that gangs in our major cities use.
00:06:03.820 Nobody's going to Bass Pro Shop to get a hunting rifle to then try and knock over a liquor store.
00:06:09.120 As with the previous list of firearms, these models will, of course, be part of the assault-style
00:06:16.260 firearms compensation program. And to that end, I'm pleased to point out that the pilot program
00:06:24.740 of phase one of the gun buyback program is now underway. The program will be open.
00:06:32.340 It's underway. They tried to get this started back in, like, 2020 when they first announced the ban
00:06:37.780 and that there was going to be a buyback program. And if you don't comply, you will just have your
00:06:42.280 weapon taken from you by police officers at your door. It never got off the ground. It's impractical.
00:06:47.140 It's unpopular. And they've wasted hundreds of millions of dollars paying people to just devise
00:06:52.140 how they're going to do this. And they've gotten nowhere. Not one gun has actually been confiscated.
00:06:56.300 And no guns should be confiscated from law-abiding owners. So it's good that it's gotten nowhere.
00:07:02.360 But the fact that they've gotten nowhere, like, so far, could probably be a good indicator of their
00:07:07.920 future behavior. They're merely burning money to hire a bunch of bureaucrats to sit around sharpening
00:07:13.360 pencils and studying something that they're never going to do because it would be insane to attempt
00:07:18.660 to actually confiscate this many weapons for all businesses in the coming days. As part of that
00:07:25.720 process, the government of Canada has committed to the Ukrainian government to identify whether some
00:07:32.960 of these guns could be donated to support the fight for democracy in Ukraine.
00:07:39.800 These people are morons. You have to have somebody from Ukraine come here and identify if these weapons
00:07:49.840 can be used for the fight for the democracy. Okay. The fact that you guys don't know that the type of
00:07:56.420 weapons that people purchase legally in Canada are not something that the Ukrainian military would ever
00:08:01.140 be interested in is pathetic and sad. Obviously, they don't want your weapons you got from Bass Pro Shop and
00:08:09.400 from the local gun store. No Ukrainian soldiers can be, like, running around the trenches with
00:08:14.760 somebody's, like, double-barrel shotgun. They're not going to be using somebody's .22 rifle that they
00:08:22.620 have, for some reason, banned. A lot of this stuff is semi-automatic and very magazine-limited.
00:08:28.600 Nobody's going to use... You're going to get yourself killed if you actually try and use this in a real
00:08:33.280 war zone. That's why this stuff is not actually assault style. It was never assault style. It is a
00:08:38.920 weapon for civilian use and for civilian protection. That's pretty much it.
00:08:44.780 My colleague, Bill Blair, will speak on this in a few moments. In addition to banning these guns,
00:08:52.020 we're also taking action on the regulatory front. Next Friday, December 13th, we will table regulations
00:09:00.920 regulations to ensure that no firearm can come into Canada or be sold in Canada.
00:09:07.780 Are you guys actually going to be cracking down on poor border security? Oh, no. No, this is about
00:09:14.200 the guns already coming over legally because I guess those are the ones that are causing real trouble.
00:09:19.360 Without first being approved by the RCMP. And no later than the end of January, we will table
00:09:27.380 additional measures in Parliament to address the rates of gun violence in situations of gender-based
00:09:35.360 and intimate partner violence. We will also... Oh my goodness. Okay, I'm just going to end this.
00:09:41.300 This is so stupid. I hate this thing that they're doing. Tracy Wilson is the only person who probably
00:09:47.440 hates it more than anyone from the Canadian Centre for Firearm Rights. They're like, oh, we need to
00:09:53.200 table some legislation regulations to crack down on gender-based firearm violence. Okay, I know that
00:09:58.780 you guys are trying to use the polytechnic shooting from the 90s in order to justify your ban, but
00:10:04.380 that's disgusting. You're standing on the graves of dead women in a situation that is not replicable
00:10:10.700 in any way. That was not something that was going to happen again. And it was also had nothing to do
00:10:15.320 with law-abiding gun owners. But they've been using this shooting, this school shooting from the 90s to
00:10:21.920 justify everything that they're doing, even though they've made it easier to get away with carrying an
00:10:26.580 actual legal handgun in cities in Canada. They don't actually care about gang violence. They've in
00:10:32.180 fact made it easier to be a criminal in Canada with our stupid catch and release system, where even if you
00:10:37.600 get charged, they're just going to immediately let you back on the streets and say, yeah, show up to
00:10:41.680 your court date in two years. And even if you keep committing crimes, who cares? Don't worry about
00:10:46.300 it. And then even if you do get sentenced one day, it's going to be like a year, a year and a half,
00:10:51.700 and you're going to get it out in like six months on good behavior, even if you're a violent repeat
00:10:55.960 offender. It's insane. These people are absolute hypocrites. But I want to move on to some of the other
00:11:01.820 things that people have been saying, because they're going all in on this. Here's the video that
00:11:05.760 Justin Trudeau posted to his own ex account, justifying the shooting, the gun ban here. He
00:11:13.340 says, military style assault rifles don't belong in your community. So we've banned them. Are they
00:11:19.960 military style? Do you guys know that? Because apparently the Ukrainian military has to show up
00:11:24.620 to tell you whether or not they're military style, because this stuff is obviously not military style.
00:11:28.800 black plastic or black metal casing does not mean it's assault style or it's military style.
00:11:38.660 That doesn't mean absolutely anything. There are military rifles that are wood. But the liberals
00:11:43.840 think that, oh my goodness, it's black. Ergo, it's like somehow more dangerous. Here is a Dominic
00:11:50.500 LeBlanc's post from this press conference. He says, firearms designed for the battlefield do not
00:11:55.600 belong in our communities. That's why since 2015, we've done more than any previous government on
00:12:00.700 gun control and why we were pursuing further action today by prohibiting 324 additional models
00:12:07.300 of assault style firearms. By the way, they haven't even released the list of these because they don't
00:12:12.540 know what 324 they're even banning now. And they don't want to come under scrutiny for having picked
00:12:18.240 a bunch of stupid weapons. Again, they shouldn't be banning any of these, but they want to avoid like
00:12:23.280 they did in the past where they had like BB guns and paintball guns on the ban list because these
00:12:27.340 people are gormlessly stupid and they don't know what they're doing. They are merely trying to attack
00:12:32.600 law-abiding gun owners as a way of buoying their popularity numbers. And let me say that none of
00:12:38.020 this is going to work. Kevin Vaughn here, the independent MP from Spadina, Fort York, makes a good
00:12:44.160 point here. He says, where can we find the list of 324 firearms? The most recent news released on your
00:12:49.280 department's website is from three days ago. Surely you would not make an announcement with zero thought
00:12:54.780 and preparation and without a plan for implementation, right? And Kevin's absolutely correct.
00:13:01.000 They have not actually done anything to lay out how these policies work in the past, so why should we
00:13:06.420 trust them now? Here is Yara Sachs saying, who's very in favor of Hamas and the Palestinian Authority
00:13:13.960 having weapons, very pro-terror type, soft on terror MP, but not for Uncle Farmer Joe, who wants to
00:13:21.600 have a rifle for protection and to, you know, be able to, you know, protect his property as well as
00:13:27.160 for the use, like, you know, as a tool on his farm. She says, 324 more assault style firearms are now
00:13:33.920 banned in Canada. These are weapons of war that have no place in our communities, so we've banned them.
00:13:39.060 Canada's not safer when people have easy access to these tools built for battlefields, yet that's
00:13:45.000 exactly what conservatives want. She's so foolish. She doesn't know what she's talking about. Can she
00:13:51.840 name 10 firearms that are actually used on the battlefield that are legal in Canada? I doubt it.
00:13:57.480 I doubt she can name one, because you do not have access to fully automatic firearms and extremely high
00:14:04.440 caliber, like, sniper rifles and whatnot in this country, because of course you don't. You don't
00:14:09.840 have access to these even in the U.S. or any other place where there is more firearm ownership, like
00:14:15.200 Switzerland and whatnot, because that's not the purpose. You don't, you obviously don't need them
00:14:19.960 for self-protection, like a fully automatic firearm. That's not what they're banning. They're banning
00:14:24.720 people using weapons that have magazine capacities of, like, six or seven shots, and they're saying that
00:14:29.920 they're weapons of war, even though they're having to be told by the Ukrainian military whether they
00:14:34.960 would even take them or not, and I guarantee you the Ukrainian military is probably going to say,
00:14:38.740 we don't want any of this, and stop co-signing us to you cracking down on your own civilians'
00:14:43.660 ability to own firearms. So we have Marcy Len here saying, femicides can be prevented when we take
00:14:50.580 action on gun violence. You're not, because you don't care about gang violence, which also involves
00:14:56.340 killing women. That's why today we've announced that we are prohibiting 324 additional assault-style
00:15:02.480 firearms in Canada. We are protecting women, families, and creating safer communities for all.
00:15:07.520 It's insane that this is what these people are doing. But now I want to jump over to this other
00:15:13.460 story of the liberals going after short-term rental property owners, because the liberals got absolutely
00:15:19.480 roasted for this, as they should. Apparently, it's very bad that people do what they want with their
00:15:25.860 own property. Airbnb is not what's caused new property to dry up. It's not what has caused
00:15:35.200 all of this to happen, that the housing crisis is actually to blame on Airbnb. This happened on
00:15:40.780 December 4th, not yesterday, but it is still a very pressing issue here. So Justin Trudeau on his
00:15:47.280 X account says, there are more than 200 short-term rentals across the country, like Airbnb and
00:15:53.700 verbos. That could be turned into housing. So are giving cities more resources to crack down on those
00:15:59.620 rentals and unlock more homes for Canadians. Why does Justin Trudeau and the liberals think
00:16:04.700 that the short-term rentals have become so popular? Because I know some people think, well, you can make
00:16:09.500 so much money in a short period of time, why would you ever make it a long-term rental? Well, the problem
00:16:15.460 is that with these short-term rentals, they're mostly not filled. But the problem is people don't want to
00:16:22.080 give people long-term rentals because in many municipalities across Canada, there is now rent
00:16:26.800 controls. There is absurdly strong tenant rights where you can basically break into a rental property,
00:16:33.660 have a fake water bill and claim that you live there. And then it will take about two and a half
00:16:38.380 years for the homeowner to actually remove you from the property, becomes illegal to shut off the water
00:16:43.340 or power, and the government's going to pay for that person's lawyer. That is how bad our squatting
00:16:49.080 is in Canada right now. Who would ever want to be subjected to this? And you could say, well,
00:16:53.360 that doesn't happen to everyone. Okay. Well, it's already not very profitable to run long-term rentals
00:16:58.300 because of rent controls everywhere. You can't kick out tenants very easily. You can barely raise
00:17:03.620 rents every single year. And so it's caused a lot of people to take their long-term rental properties
00:17:09.580 off the market and now put them into just short-term. And many of these properties are people's actual
00:17:15.360 homes that they rent out on Airbnb or Vrbo while they themselves are on vacation in like Arizona.
00:17:22.040 There's a lot of house swapping type stuff that goes on where people who live in Arizona half the
00:17:26.560 year then put up their house at home for people to rent. And I know there are some like conservatives
00:17:33.440 out there, libertarian types saying, well, a lot of these companies are reducing the housing supply and
00:17:38.580 it's having an effect on the market. And so we need to crack down on this because it's not a legitimate,
00:17:43.500 you know, free market use or whatever. Guys, it's people's property rights. You can do whatever
00:17:48.900 you want. The main problem with the housing market is, is like, and I said libertarian before I know
00:17:55.560 some people are going to be like, libertarians are totally fine with short-term rentals. I've had a
00:17:58.920 lot of people call themselves libertarians online, say that they support stuff like this. But the real
00:18:04.920 problem behind the housing crisis in Canada is immigration and poor government housing policy and
00:18:11.240 property taxes. Those three things are what is causing people to take long-term rentals off the
00:18:17.560 market and then throw just up a bunch of short-term rentals. And that's it. In fact, they're only going
00:18:23.720 after like small scale, short-term rental owners to the point where someone has said that in areas
00:18:29.940 where there are a lot of short-term rental properties, what ends up happening is a large
00:18:34.040 corporation ends up just purchasing all of them. And for some reason, they're allowed to run a short-term
00:18:39.400 rental community, but an individual is not allowed to rent out their property for short-term rents.
00:18:45.160 This is just an attack on property rights. It's saying that state priorities of housing people,
00:18:50.540 it comes before your rights as an individual to do what you want with your property. Do you know what
00:18:55.880 this is actually going to do? It's just going to cause people to not rent at all, or they're just
00:19:01.980 going to short-term rent under the table. You know, one of your friends from the States is going to stay
00:19:06.660 there. So they're just going to pay you in cash to go stay in your house. That's all that's going to
00:19:10.520 happen. This is not increasing housing supply. This is pretending to take a serious issue seriously
00:19:16.220 by passing legislation. We're going to enable municipalities to crack down as if these are
00:19:21.900 drug dens. They don't actually care about drug dens or drug houses. That's totally okay. We can
00:19:26.480 decriminalize people selling meth and cocaine and whatnot, and also provide hydromorphone to people
00:19:32.380 so that they can purchase drugs. Yeah, we don't care about actual crime. We care about fake crimes
00:19:38.140 against the state because you have failed to help the state provide more housing, even though the
00:19:43.400 state has made it very difficult to be able to build housing. And now in retaliation against the fact
00:19:50.220 that people don't want to build housing, we're now going to wipe out zoning laws, which doesn't
00:19:55.060 actually make it easier to build. It just means that the developers who do build can build bigger things
00:20:01.300 that then wreck communities because they do not have the parking spaces for it. They do not have
00:20:05.840 the water facilities for it. They do not have the electrical grid for it. It's nuts what they're
00:20:11.640 trying to do. Yeah, this is socialism. Yes, they're not fully socialist. They're not fully communist,
00:20:19.060 obviously. But on this particular front, they're acting like commies. They're acting like socialists
00:20:24.680 that your property rights and where the state interests begin. This is exactly how fascists,
00:20:30.740 Soviets, Nazis talk about other people's property rights. And this needs to be very strongly attacked
00:20:37.720 by the conservatives. I know that there's this idea that Airbnb and Verbo's have become unpopular.
00:20:43.880 No, the conservatives should be going after the liberals and strongly articulating that they are
00:20:48.740 scapegoating short term rentals for the mistakes and issues of public policy that the liberals and other
00:20:54.840 municipalities have passed. Anyways, that's it for me today, guys. Again, if you want to support the
00:21:01.260 show, subscribe to the channel. That helps me out. Like the video. You can donate to the Give, Send, Go if
00:21:06.480 you want. And then leave a comment. I always try and scroll through them, even if I don't reply or react to
00:21:11.300 all of them. I always try and get a good sense of what people think, what people would like me to talk
00:21:15.520 about all that kind of stuff. So anyways, I will be back with another video. Stay tuned.
