Watching Question Period and the other business of Parliament can be one of the most disheartening
00:00:04.200
things you can do as a voting member of Canadian society. You start to wonder who is even electing
00:00:09.500
a lot of these activists, liberal and NDP MPs into Parliament. They have no clue what they're
00:00:14.760
doing when voting on a lot of policies, and they seem to just be genuinely nasty individuals who
00:00:19.900
have no empathy for 75% of the general Canadian public. They only care about a specific subset
00:00:25.820
of people that they've decided are those who they actually serve and the rest of Canadians can go
00:00:30.280
pack sand. And I think this is the perfect example. Garnett Genuit, a good Conservative MP from Sherwood
00:00:36.940
Park, Fort Saskatchewan, tries to get a single NDP MP to condemn all the church arsons happening all
00:00:44.040
over Canada. Check this out. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I did want to ask this member a specific question
00:00:49.000
about anti-Indigenous violence and reconciliation. One of the sad continuing examples of anti-Indigenous
00:00:55.420
violence that we've seen in this country has been a series of attacks on churches and Indigenous
00:00:59.680
communities. Many churches and Indigenous communities, sacred spaces for Indigenous
00:01:03.580
Christians steeped in personal and familial traditions and sometimes containing important
00:01:07.760
community records, have been vandalized or burned down. These acts of arson aren't just
00:01:12.480
damaging to property, they're also very dangerous to human life. And I've noticed that we haven't heard
00:01:17.180
anything from the NDP on these incidents. So I want to ask this member, will she join me in
00:01:21.460
condemning these attacks on churches we've seen in Indigenous communities?
00:01:25.900
Extremely reasonable question. And she might think, well, this is a gotcha question. He's trying
00:01:30.700
to put me into a corner. The only reason that this counts as a gotcha from Garnett Genuit is because
00:01:36.640
it's so simple that anyone should be able to answer this question correctly. That will you condemn
00:01:41.820
these church fires, these church burnings, arsons? And you would just say, yes. It's only a gotcha
00:01:47.460
to this Leah Gazin lady, because she is a genuine radical. And if she was to answer this correctly,
00:01:53.820
even just for the political safety of it, her own base would come after her. Because, no, like,
00:01:59.360
get this right. The NDP base, it's not just, you know, like pro-union Canadians who want some more
00:02:05.520
social assistance type programs and for benefits to be raised for unemployed Canadians or for union
00:02:11.580
members or anything like that. No, no, no. A lot of the NDP base at this point are just radical
00:02:16.140
progressives. And I think this really speaks to it here. The Honorable Member from Winnipeg Center.
00:02:22.440
So I'm kind of concerned with this question, because there seems to be a presumption of who's
00:02:27.320
done it. Who did he presume did it? He has said nobody. He has not even implied who a culprit is.
00:02:34.160
He just said that there was a lot of churches being burned down in Indigenous communities. These are
00:02:38.980
the churches of these Indigenous people. And it's obviously an aspect of truth and reconciliation
00:02:44.740
to take the fact that their place of worship are being burnt to the ground. He didn't imply anybody
00:02:50.180
specifically did it. If anything, the only thing that he should have presumed is that it's often,
00:02:54.920
it's obviously a left-wing activist. A left-wing activist who's probably planning on voting for
00:02:59.860
someone like Leah Gazzan. But I'll let her continue and make a fool of herself.
00:03:03.340
So I'm not sure who's burning the churches and why he's relating it to this speech.
00:03:12.780
Goodness. This person is not smart enough to be in Parliament. Just the way she talks,
00:03:18.680
it's like she doesn't even understand the questions she's being asked. I'm not sure who's burning down
00:03:25.020
these churches. And I'm not sure why this is being asked right now. Just answer the question,
00:03:31.660
lady. Just at least come clean and say, I'm okay with churches being burnt down. Because this entire
00:03:37.480
three-minute clip is her basically slowly saying, who cares? Is he insinuating that it's Indigenous people?
00:03:46.460
If anything, it wouldn't be Indigenous people. It's probably a white left-wing activist. Because
00:03:51.460
why would Indigenous people burn down a building that contains a lot of their birth records? That is
00:03:57.500
what a lot of these old churches house, is their family birth records, in which it helps you prove
00:04:03.320
your status as an Indigenous Canadian. It actually is unlikely to be an Indigenous person. And at no
00:04:08.720
point did Garnet Genuille even imply it. He actually said these are very important buildings for the
00:04:13.880
Indigenous people in these communities. And we should get to the bottom of who's doing it. But she can only
00:04:19.280
play the race card because she is an empty-headed grifter. Does he have proof of that? Because if he
00:04:25.060
doesn't... He never implied that it happened, so he doesn't need proof. Idiots. I would say that would
00:04:31.140
be a stereotype. I would also call that racist. Wow, she does? Wow, you called that racist? Wow, I didn't
00:04:39.240
expect this from an NDP MP. Whoa. Whoa. She called it racist? Guys, you can't inquire about church burnings
00:04:46.140
anymore. It could be racist to do so. Leah Gazin has let us know. Ask him first if he had proof,
00:04:52.520
and then I would be willing to discuss it. Because without knowing what the answer is, it's really
00:04:57.880
hard for me to answer for him what the root of that issue is. Sorry, sorry. So it matters to her
00:05:05.080
who's burning the churches down in order to condemn church burnings. So if it was someone from a specific
00:05:14.020
ethnic group or someone who was a specific sex, if they burned the church down, would she be less mad
00:05:20.740
about it than if someone else burned the church down? So like a cis white male burns the church down.
00:05:25.680
Leah Gazin's super mad. But if someone else burns the church down, maybe she's not so upset. And now
00:05:31.200
Garnett genuinely has to provide her proof of who might have burned the church down so she can speak
00:05:36.520
out against it. Imagine this in any other context. Someone's murdered, and you're being said,
00:05:42.180
well, you condemn political violence, because it was like some political person who was murdered. And
00:05:46.320
you're like, well, who did it? And like, people are like, does it matter? And you're like, well, I just
00:05:51.340
need to know what the motivations might have been. If someone was murdered, Leah, Leah, someone like in
00:05:58.540
churches are being burned down. And you need to know what the person who the person was. That's nuts.
00:06:05.400
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And just to follow up to my previous question, I thought my question was fairly
00:06:09.560
clear. I characterized these attacks on churches as a form of anti-Indigenous violence. That is...
00:06:15.680
And that is a very smart thing for Garnett to have done. I don't think he's game playing here,
00:06:20.160
but I think he asked the question in a very specific manner in order so that if she pulled
00:06:24.000
out the race card, she would look like a complete circus clown.
00:06:27.560
Somebody is... It has, in many cases, burned down churches on Indigenous communities. And I see this
00:06:34.680
as an attack on those communities. I thought that was clear in my initial question, but I'll repeat
00:06:39.040
the point. I'm in no way making any assumptions or suggestions about who is doing this. I'm concerned
00:06:44.400
about how these attacks on churches, they undermine the religious freedom, but also they're...
00:06:49.740
Don't you know that religious freedom is far right, Garnett? I can't believe you.
00:06:53.800
They're an aspect of destruction of the cultural property of these Indigenous communities.
00:06:57.880
And we have not heard from the NDP statements condemning these attacks on churches. So, again,
00:07:05.580
in the spirit of condemning anti-Indigenous violence, I wonder if the member would be willing
00:07:09.480
to join me, join us in condemning these various attacks on churches and Indigenous communities
00:07:14.560
I know that Garnett knows that Aaliyah Gazzan's too stupid to actually answer this question correctly,
00:07:19.720
but this isn't even like a softball question. This is pure T-ball. After that first softball
00:07:26.240
attempt, Garnett goes and explains to her how baseball works and then puts the softball
00:07:31.680
on the post and just says, okay, now I just need you to swing and hit that ball. Can you
00:07:36.260
do that for me? And as we will see, Leah Gazzan is incapable of doing that.
00:07:44.080
Well, again, I gave them the same response. I don't know what the motive was.
00:07:48.160
What was the motive? What was the motive? Maybe they were trying to save a bunch of children
00:07:52.160
in the basement of this church and needed to burn it down. Maybe they were trying
00:07:56.180
to fight white supremacy. That would make it okay. Who is this lady? Again, I go back
00:08:01.300
to it. Did she just submit a thousand box tops and was allowed to become the MP for Winnipeg
00:08:07.240
Center? Please, Winnipeg Center voters, get rid of this lady. She has no clue what she's
00:08:13.460
doing. She has no empathy for anyone outside of her political clan. It is disgusting to watch
00:08:18.720
her just humming and hawing about actual terrorism against churches. And just because, well, maybe
00:08:25.580
it's terrorism I like. Well, maybe it's good terrorism rather than bad terrorism. Maybe
00:08:30.640
we should just be against crime and terrorism in general. I don't know about you guys.
00:08:41.400
Maybe it was Professor Plum in the drawing room with a candlestick that burned down the
00:08:46.260
churches. Look, why do we have to play a game of Clue before we're allowed to have a problem
00:08:50.340
with churches burning down? Because I don't know that, I can't call it anti-indigenous
00:08:56.400
So, see, there is what, that's her point. So if, in her mind, that, this is actually what
00:09:01.780
she is implying. If an indigenous person burned down the church for pro, seemingly pro-indigenous
00:09:07.960
reasons, that means it's actually not anti-indigenous to burn down other indigenous people's churches.
00:09:13.420
I don't know if it was an indigenous person. I actually would assume it's a white leftist,
00:09:17.240
like I've mentioned before, because they tend to be the ones who are not going to care about
00:09:20.780
burning these churches down and all the records that the community will lose. And you get a lot of
00:09:25.420
very atheistic leftists, where I find that generally people who are more left-wing from other non-white
00:09:31.220
communities tend to not have as much of a hate on for religion. But man, that is crazy radical stuff.
00:09:37.900
Thinking that you don't know if it's anti-indigenous to burn down an indigenous community's
00:09:42.820
church, a church that basically only indigenous people use, and that you've targeted as a
00:09:47.640
institution within that community that people rely on.
00:09:50.840
I don't know if he, I mean, I haven't heard him debate, you know, anti-indigenous violence when
00:10:00.400
What does she mean by denialism? That, like, the people running around saying there was hundreds
00:10:05.080
of children buried underneath church grounds, and they were wrong after they actually started
00:10:09.560
extivating. That's what she thinks is residential school denialism. What does she mean by the
00:10:15.380
anti-indigenous violence of that? So, and here's the thing with the left. They consider words they
00:10:21.400
disagree with, even if those words are correct, to be more violent than actively burning down churches.
00:10:28.380
That is more anti-indigenous, is having a correct view that certain hype around mass graves were
00:10:36.840
obviously wrong. As wrong as residential schools are, you can't just make things up, because if
00:10:43.160
anything, it just cheapens the tragedy of what happened in the past, the oppression of what happened
00:10:47.720
in the past, to make up stuff about it today. And if anything, she's being anti-indigenous by claiming
00:10:53.640
that facts about history are anti-indigenous. And again, nobody, especially Garnett Genuille, has argued
00:11:00.840
that residential schools were good. Full stop, nobody has done that. But in order to weasel her
00:11:06.920
way out of actually giving a straight answer, condemning churches being burned to the ground,
00:11:13.320
she is pretending that words are violence, basically historical fact is violence. If you even, if you
00:11:19.400
deny that something happened when it factually did not happen because it's surrounding a tragedy or some
00:11:25.320
historical oppression and like, you know, abuse, that means that you're somehow being anti-indigenous.
00:11:32.920
So, and you know, I know what the motivation is for that. I know where it's coming from,
00:11:38.520
they're very public about it. I don't have the facts, so I can't...
00:11:42.680
I don't think she has many facts at all. And not just on this topic, I don't think she has many facts on
00:11:48.040
any topic. Assume the motive. That's the, that's a basic premise in law. I think as legislators,
00:11:55.160
we can understand... I'm sorry, but she just has a dumb look on her face. It's this person just acting
00:12:00.040
bubble-headed and empty-headed. I don't have a, I don't have a motivation to talk about. Oh,
00:12:04.920
there's no motivation for me to speak on right now. Well, why are you calling people anti-indigenous
00:12:10.440
for merely stating that a lot of the issues around mass graves were factually incorrect? How do you know
00:12:17.320
their motives? Understand that basic premise in law that I can't, I can't read into an action
00:12:25.480
where I have no facts. And I don't know what the motive is. Maybe he should do some research.
00:12:32.440
Maybe he would understand potential motives. Or he could talk to officials. Just talking until she's
00:12:39.480
done talking. Until she no longer has to answer anymore. She is just filibustering the questions so
00:12:45.240
that she doesn't actually have to take them seriously. Disgusting. People like this should
00:12:49.720
be removed from parliament in the next election. Like, obviously not like, you know, like, illegally
00:12:54.840
removed. Although she probably would assume I mean that if I didn't clarify. I just want to see which,
00:12:59.960
what the polling looks like for Winnipeg Center right now. The projections. I hope that we will not
00:13:06.360
be seeing her after next election. Winnipeg Center. Oh, goodness. Oh, goodness. She's not going anywhere.
00:13:14.440
They give her an average of 62% for the next election in terms of likely turnout. They only
00:13:21.000
give the Conservatives 12% in that area. Insane. Yeah. Well, whatever. Facebook message me. I will attack
00:13:29.320
them for that later. Anyways, that should be it for me today. I'll, you know, come up with another video
00:13:35.160
later. I just want to quickly mention that I, Wyatt Claypool, I'm running in the Calgary Signal Hill
00:13:39.320
Conservative Party nomination. So if you live in that riding, buy a membership for me. Check out my
00:13:44.120
website in the description below, WyattClaypool.com. And also if you want, you can contribute to my legal
00:13:49.640
fund. Also linked in the description of this video. It's on Give, Send, Go. We have a billionaire
00:13:54.120
developer suing myself in the National Telegraph. It's completely ridiculous. He has no evidence
00:13:59.400
for the supposed defamation we have done against him. And so by contributing, you can help us with
00:14:06.200
the legal costs that we've incurred over $25,000 so far. We will win this case,
00:14:10.840
but every dollar helps reduce the burden. Anyways, that should be it for me today. Have a good one,
