The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Liberals want house arrest for Canadians who may commit ＂hate＂ offences

00:00:00.000 In one of the most insane stories of the year so far, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's liberal government is actually defending an element of their new Online Harms Act, Bill C-63, that would have Canadians placed under house arrest in a peace bond because they might commit a hate-based offense.

00:00:19.980 A hate-based offense being something the liberals still haven't even clearly defined in which it's so abstract you could basically go to prison for saying something discriminatory, and now you can be placed under house arrest for potentially saying something discriminatory.

00:00:35.040 Not that you might have actually said it and they're placing you under house arrest until they determine that. No, no, no, you haven't even said anything wrong yet according to the liberals, but you could say something wrong.

00:00:46.620 And so the justice minister now, Arif Arani, is defending this as something that will help de-radicalize people.

00:00:55.200 Yeah, like, it's preposterous. It is absolutely authoritarian and insane, but these people are so delusional. They're so in their own bubble. 0.81

00:01:04.740 They believe that doing this is going to cause good. And make no mistake, yes, the liberals are authoritarians. Yes, they are professional clowns.

00:01:13.280 At the same time, they don't understand that they're clownish wannabe dictators. They are people who actually think that they are doing good in the world. 0.99

00:01:21.520 That's what makes them so dangerous. Bad people who know they're doing bad things are easy to expose because they don't tend to be very careful at hiding it.

00:01:28.920 These guys actually think that what they're doing is helping people, that basically crushing people with a government boot might save their lives.

00:01:36.560 This is why these people are dangerous. They are true believers in their nonsense. They're not just opportunists. 0.98

00:01:43.480 They are using the opportunities they have, but they genuinely believe that they're going to somehow crack down on hate.

00:01:50.060 But I just want to get to this Globe and Mail article now where Arif Arani was responding to the criticism of Bill C-63.

00:01:57.780 The media is actually going after them because even they think this is insane.

00:02:01.240 And when confronted about this peace bond element of 63, he says that they are carefully calibrating this element of it to make sure that it doesn't get abused, but so that it helps de-radicalize people.

00:02:15.020 Because obviously there's ways of not abusing a power of locking people up for crimes they haven't committed, a crime that isn't even a real crime. 0.89

00:02:22.600 It's just a stupid thought crime that the liberals believe should be punishable with prison time fines and other sorts of things.

00:02:28.600 And when he was confronted about this by the media, he said that on why this restriction was needed and why they should also be able to ban certain people from using the internet or social media, 0.98

00:02:43.700 he says that would help to de-radicalize people who are learning things online and acting out in the real world violently, sometimes fatally.

00:02:52.080 If people are acting out in the real world violently or fatally, you should be arresting them for the violence they're committing.

00:02:59.580 He's being a weasel here and pretending like he can just sort of throw out the words violently and fatally in order to justify locking someone up for potentially saying something wrong in real life.

00:03:11.460 It's not something wrong being a vague term that the liberals have meant like have taken to mean anything from calling for genocide,

00:03:19.820 which is obviously already illegal, all the way to saying something discriminatory.

00:03:23.960 And because they can tie that vaguely to the idea that you might act out violently or fatally, they're allowed to lock you up in your home.

00:03:30.980 I want to move on to this. And he said when he was people asking about the striking of balance between free speech and, you know, combating hate,

00:03:40.320 because even the media in criticizing this bill still has to give credence to the idea of hate crimes.

00:03:45.620 He says there's a lot of bad stuff out there, but this is not about this, the bad stuff.

00:03:50.220 This is about something much higher. Well, why is the bill going after discriminatory behavior?

00:03:55.120 Because if discriminatory behavior, like they've said in the bill, is a part of that much higher stuff, that scares me a little bit.

00:04:02.880 Because what does he define as just generically bad stuff?

00:04:06.060 Because he has not left a lot of room between normal speech of just saying hi to your friend and saying something discriminatory.

00:04:13.720 There's not that much between there. If you misgender someone, this bill could put you in prison because you're trying to like mentally harm people. 0.95

00:04:21.840 That is where this bill is obviously going for. And you could say, well, there's nothing in the bill that specifically says they're doing that.

00:04:29.940 Well, then why don't they define their terms closer? It's so they can move towards ridiculous nonsense and trying to criminalize it. 0.73

00:04:38.880 Moving on to something else he said. He said what's really critical is that it gives the judge a wonderful range of sentences.

00:04:46.460 Imagine using the word wonderful in regards to this bill. Sorry, moving on.

00:04:51.000 He said this is not a mandatory minimum of life sentence.

00:04:54.560 This is just a larger range, including what would be the maximum sentence.

00:04:58.440 And in that case, there is a maximum sentence of potentially life in prison, 25 years until parole.

00:05:05.700 If you say certain things under Bill C-63, the Online Harms Act, yes, they said, well, it's for people who are calling for genocide or whatever.

00:05:14.720 Even then, I don't think that's exactly something you can put a life sentence on.

00:05:19.360 Well, calling for genocide is a violent call to action. 0.93

00:05:22.000 That is not protected free speech because you are actively saying go kill these people.

00:05:26.680 That's how you end up putting mob bosses behind bars because you're not allowed to order other people to kill people.

00:05:32.440 And calling for genocide would do that.

00:05:34.740 But, like, this is already a crime.

00:05:37.060 So why are we instituting maximum sentences for things that already have harsh sentences if we are not trying to weasel our way into applying those extremely harsh sentences to people who did something far short of calling for violence on other people?

00:05:53.260 Anyways, moving on.

00:05:54.540 I think there's another quote here. 0.93

00:05:56.060 I remember that was completely ridiculous.

00:05:57.280 Oh, yeah, this is actually a very good point that the Golden Mail makes, which is funny because the Golden Mail is not usually good at making good points.

00:06:07.660 They said, Mr. Verrani said, as Justice Minister, he is sworn to uphold the Constitution, which includes freedom of expression.

00:06:13.820 Quote, of course, I'm concerned about the chilling of freedom of expression.

00:06:17.700 I heard those concerns to a great extent, and yet you didn't really open your ears enough to take them seriously.

00:06:24.600 So now we have a bill that could put people behind bars or put them under house arrest for discriminatory language because those words might lead to actions.

00:06:34.960 Anything might lead to actions.

00:06:37.200 This is just minority report type pre-crime.

00:06:40.340 If anything can be tied to a potential action, I can basically put someone behind bars for anything.

00:06:48.380 This is exactly the sort of mentality, the worldview behind that quote from that Soviet, I think it was Cheka at the time, not quite the KGB, but the head of the Cheka in the Soviet Union, Joventy Beria, when he said, show me the man and I'll show you the crime.

00:07:05.460 This is exactly it.

00:07:06.520 Do you think you can't find someone who hasn't said something offensive that the liberals would claim could lead to violence?

00:07:13.280 They've claimed things that the conservative opposition has said could lead to violence that was just reporting on liberal party corruption.

00:07:20.700 Do you think that they're not going to try and define going after corruption as being discriminatory or hateful based on some arbitrary elements of the criticism? 0.99

00:07:29.640 They will do that because these people are clowns. 0.94

00:07:32.080 And Mr. Verrani said, time is of the essence and we know how horrible material can go on very, very quickly. 0.93

00:07:39.660 Well, I'm just going to let Verrani know there's no current genocide taking place because of online activity.

00:07:46.520 There's no mass spate of violence in Canada because of online activity.

00:07:50.820 Yes, and if anything, a lot of the misinformation that is quite dangerous is coming from left-wing elements.

00:07:57.280 Look at all the communists and Islamists going around harassing Jewish people in major cities and spreading lies about a fake genocide taking place in Gaza,

00:08:05.840 which is really just these really military fighting Hamas in which there has really not been that many casualties overall for something that's apparently a genocide.

00:08:13.420 These people are the ones actually spreading around hate, and this is why, like, SIGIA, it's a Jewish advocacy organization in Canada, usually goes after anti-Semitism. 0.99

00:08:24.960 These people are complete fools. 1.00

00:08:26.960 They are backing this bill, might be because they get money from the liberal governments and they're cowards, 1.00

00:08:31.660 but they're backing this bill because they think it will somehow fight anti-Semitism. 0.61

00:08:34.740 Guys, wake up.

00:08:36.240 One, that's not a justification for taking away free speech is that you might be able to suppress some hatred out there.

00:08:42.880 Passing government policy never suppresses real hatred.

00:08:46.220 This is why Barry Goldwater in the United States didn't vote for the Civil Rights Act.

00:08:50.980 He was on board for any piece of legislation that would cut down on government racial discrimination and government-enforced segregation.

00:08:59.980 He voted against it because it was also going to say that you cannot discriminate in your private business.

00:09:04.280 His point behind that is that could be weaponized later on against private businesses for discrimination,

00:09:10.980 no one you disagree with, that you discriminate against someone because you don't like their ideas and whatnot.

00:09:15.340 You don't want them participating in your business.

00:09:17.040 And that the legislation was written so badly that it's basically that you have to serve everybody,

00:09:21.000 and you're like, as long as they're willing to pay, you have to serve them.

00:09:24.100 And his other reason for opposing it was that it doesn't actually cut down on hatred to try and criminalize hatred.

00:09:30.680 It just puts it under the surface.

00:09:32.740 If anything, it actually lets people get away with hatefulness, bigotry, racism, all this stuff,

00:09:38.720 because they can say, well, I'm not abandoning my racist views.

00:09:41.820 The government's just forcing me to operate in such a way.

00:09:44.460 Or Barry Goldwater, who is very libertarian in his views,

00:09:47.280 were saying that you should have to suffer the public consequences of being an awful person,

00:09:52.520 that people find out about it, and they don't want to go to your business.

00:09:54.980 If you have to follow government mandates, you get to hold on to your beliefs and think it's like,

00:10:00.220 well, I'm just desegregating my business because the government forced me to.

00:10:05.220 That's his problem with it.

00:10:07.040 And that's where CJ is not understanding.

00:10:09.400 Bill C-63 is not actually going to target anti-Semitism at all.

00:10:13.740 For one thing, the liberals don't care about anti-Semitism.

00:10:16.500 They haven't done anything against it yet.

00:10:17.920 This is not going to target anti-Semites.

00:10:19.960 And then two, even if it did, you're not actually getting rid of anti-Semitism.

00:10:24.000 You're just putting a cover over it and pretending it's not there.

00:10:27.520 You've got to actually advocate against the crazies who push for stuff like that,

00:10:31.380 just as the left, if there's actual racists out there,

00:10:34.980 show what they said was racist and argue against it.

00:10:37.720 They don't want to do that because there's really not that much racism out there,

00:10:40.680 so they want government policy passed in order to expand the definition of what racism is

00:10:45.680 so that they can go after it with the legal system and attack the people that they do not like.

00:10:51.440 I'm going down a bit of a rabbit hole here, 0.99

00:10:53.280 but you understand where this stupid line of thinking that the liberals are pushing can lead to. 0.99

00:10:59.420 Yes, are they going to lock up people right away as soon as this bill is passed? 0.99

00:11:02.980 If it gets passed, probably not.

00:11:05.100 But I don't think that these people are responsible enough that in a few years,

00:11:08.760 they're not locking up people for telling jokes at comedy bars

00:11:11.860 or locking up pastors for being transphobic or something like that.

00:11:16.900 These people do not have the capacity to make this law work,

00:11:21.120 and I don't think that we should be passing anything curbing free speech

00:11:24.220 outside of obvious instances of calling for violence,

00:11:27.880 in which that's not just giving your opinion,

00:11:29.760 that's trying to get people to commit a violent, illegal action.

00:11:33.080 Anyways, please make sure that every MP that you are in your area is going to vote against Bill C-63.

00:11:41.360 If you live in an area with an NDP or liberal MP,

00:11:44.840 definitely put pressure on them that not even if you're a conservative,

00:11:49.220 that you will make sure to campaign for the conservative against them in their area,

00:11:53.220 so that while, yes, they might not get your vote in the next election,

00:11:56.800 if they do not vote against us,

00:11:58.040 you will work as hard as possible to make sure that they never get reelected.

00:12:01.500 Make sure that you put the pressure on these people,

00:12:03.760 because this bill could truly destroy free speech in Canada.

00:12:08.080 And then anyways, other than that,

00:12:10.040 I also just want to mention the fact that I, Wyatt Claypool,

00:12:13.040 am running for the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination.

00:12:16.480 If you live in this riding, please buy a Conservative Party membership and vote for me.

00:12:21.440 Go check out my website in the description below, wyattclaypool.com.

00:12:25.740 Anyone who, like, I know there's like at least a couple hundred people

00:12:29.200 who watch me from that area every time I upload a video,

00:12:32.080 I see the city statistics.

00:12:33.640 So there's usually like 2,500 people from Calgary.

00:12:36.460 So make sure you still check if you live in this riding.

00:12:39.300 This is what the new boundaries look like.

00:12:41.260 Buy membership, please.

00:12:42.540 And then also, I have the Give, Send, Go running for myself

00:12:45.860 and the National Telegraph's legal fund.

00:12:47.680 We have this ridiculous defamation suit being lodged against us

00:12:51.140 from a, like, a rich developer.

00:12:53.980 It's been going on for two years.

00:12:55.240 We paid $25,000 defending ourselves.

00:12:57.780 We did nothing wrong.

00:12:58.660 He can't prove we said anything wrong.

00:13:00.780 And our guest writer's article, which mentioned this developer guy,

00:13:04.260 basically only relied purely on a Globe and Mail article

00:13:07.700 that was already a year and a half old.

00:13:09.480 And we said nothing new about him other than the fact

00:13:11.580 that he was making massive donations

00:13:13.300 to Aaron O'Toole's leadership campaign.

00:13:15.720 Anyways, finally, that should be it for me today.

00:13:18.340 Sorry for the rambling.

00:13:19.440 I'll see you guys all later.
