00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. I never want any of you to say that Canadian politics is dull,
00:00:07.180 because there is a lot of crazy stuff going on right now. We're mostly going to be focusing on
00:00:12.880 the Liberal Public Safety Minister, Gary Amasangari, being an incompetent buffoon. But I do
00:00:18.460 just want to mention something that is happening as we speak right now, which I will be talking
00:00:23.820 about in future videos. That is British Columbia Conservative Party leader John Rustad, only
00:00:30.220 getting 70.6% on his leadership review and attempting to remain as the leader. He just
00:00:38.100 whacked one of his Conservative MLAs, Eleanor Sturko, although to call her Conservative is really
00:00:43.860 overselling it. The lady should just join the NDP at this point. There is nothing Conservative about
00:00:48.700 her. And now it looks like the caucus might take out John to stand up for the honor of Eleanor,
00:00:55.000 even though nobody stood up for Dallas Brody back when she was kicked out, except for Tara Armstrong
00:01:00.400 and Jordan Keighley, who then left the BC Conservative Caucus with her. And so now it looks
00:01:06.620 like the party is just going to lurch even more left. Wait for Eleanor to paint this as a sign that
00:01:12.600 the party needs to be more socially conscious, more socially progressive, because how could they
00:01:17.960 kick me out, the arch social progressive in the party? That is all just a bag of cats I can't talk
00:01:25.240 about today. But it's also why I'm part of the 1BC party in British Columbia. I can't stand the 1.00
00:01:31.580 nonsense going on inside the BC Conservatives. They've become woke. They are literally broke
00:01:36.480 more than $3 million in debt. They have a big spending problem. They have a big, you know, again,
00:01:42.160 woke issue. They don't really stand for a lot of Conservative principles anymore. But the 1BC party is
00:01:47.660 holding a couple of events coming up in Penticton, as well as Mill Bay. I will be linking the events
00:01:53.640 page of the party in the description below and pinned up the top of the comments. I'm not going
00:01:58.560 to be at those two events. I was at our Abbotsford event, which was great. We had like 180 people show
00:02:03.280 up. At these two events, I would suggest you show up and meet our leader, Dallas Brody, and the rest of
00:02:08.800 the 1BC team. See if you want to jump aboard. Always, you know, do your fact finding before you
00:02:14.660 jump on board any party, though. But today, we are not going to be talking about the crazy world
00:02:20.760 of BC politics. And look at that. You got to see why I wear a hat for once. I can't even wear hats.
00:02:26.000 My head is like too bulbous, so they always fall off my head eventually. But we are here to talk about
00:02:31.580 Liberal Public Safety Minister Gary Amasangari and the Liberals' very hollow gun ban. Now,
00:02:39.060 the gun ban sucks. It's terrible. It is violating Canadian civil liberties to be able to defend
00:02:44.400 yourself. It's violating Canadians' property rights. We have overly restrictive gun policies
00:02:50.340 in Canada right now. And it's like Gary Amasangari basically admits that he knows that
00:02:56.480 it's all thin. Our public safety minister's name was literally on a 2006 registry or like a directory
00:03:05.220 for the Tamil Tigers, a terrorist organization from Sri Lanka. It was spotted in 2006, so it was
00:03:11.520 probably on there for a lot longer. And he also doesn't know what a Canadian gun license is.
00:03:16.880 When Conservative MP Andrew Lawton pushed him on what an RPAL is, which is a restricted possession
00:03:23.160 and acquisition license, Gary Amasangari didn't know what it was. And now we have a leaked tape of
00:03:29.080 him basically admitting the whole gun ban is complete nonsense. One, he knows it's unpopular
00:03:34.720 and that they're only doing this because it was an election promise. But then at the same time,
00:03:39.240 they want to force Canadians in specific areas to buy back their weapons. And if the money runs out
00:03:44.740 to buy it back, they're not going to compensate you for any other guns that they take. It's completely
00:03:49.460 insane. And credit to Tracy Wilson for going through the entire tape and transcribing out
00:03:55.900 all the big takeaways here. Tracy Wilson from the Canadian Centre for Firearm Rights, the CCFR,
00:04:02.720 I think I got that acronym right. She says on this tweet a couple of days ago, breaking audio recordings
00:04:09.820 of the public safety minister talking about the quote unquote buyback confiscation program. Now the tape is
00:04:16.460 long, but she puts out all the big takeaways that we need to know before we're going to cut to 1.00
00:04:21.300 Conservative Party leader Yeropalyev absolutely smashing Amasangari in question period. She says
00:04:28.340 it launches Tuesday with pilot project in Cape Breton. So that's tomorrow. Moneypot capped at $742 million.
00:04:37.900 After it's exhausted, you get nothing. Admits if he had to start over, they'd scrap it,
00:04:43.900 but it was a campaign promise. Blames pressure from Quebec. Electorate caucus provost, we don't know.
00:04:50.720 Implies it won't be enforced. Admits gun owners will not get fair compensation. Offers to pay
00:04:56.640 constituents the difference, lol. Offers to pay bail for the constituent if he practices non-compliance
00:05:02.800 and gets arrested, and much more. So yeah, that's Tracy Wilson there. It's her video. I will be
00:05:09.020 linking her video as well if you actually want to hear the full tape yourself. But yeah, this is not
00:05:14.680 a great look. And this guy has been a complete clown in the liberal cabinet. You'd think they
00:05:22.480 would have already kicked him out by now. He's messed up so much stuff, and it goes well past the things
00:05:27.160 I've already been talking about. But now, let's jump over to this great exchange between Conservative
00:05:34.100 Party leader Pierre Polyev and Gary Amasandri, somehow our public safety minister. So just take a gander at this.
00:05:44.860 By three rampant gun criminals and wasting billions of dollars of police and border resources targeting 0.52
00:05:54.300 law-abiding licensed, trained and tested firearms owners. This government has overseen a 130% increase
00:06:01.860 in violent gun crime. But over the weekend, the Minister of Public Safety accidentally told the
00:06:09.760 truth, and he was recorded doing it. He said that the gun grab is not worth the money, that it will go
00:06:15.600 over budget, and it would be better just to lock up the criminals, but that they're going ahead with
00:06:19.960 the bad policy because it's good politics. Does the Prime Minister agree?
00:06:22.920 Mr. Speaker, it's a good thing there's a recording of it so that Canadians can have a look for
00:06:28.160 themselves.
00:06:28.980 No doubt, Mr. Transparency is Gary Amasandri. This guy, who again, had his name on a directory
00:06:38.020 associated with the Tamil Tigers terrorist organization. This guy likes a lot of sunlight.
00:06:43.840 He wants full transparency. He wants everything out in the open. The attempt to spin this is quite
00:06:51.940 something.
00:06:52.940 Let me be very clear, Mr. Speaker. Canadians want responsible gun control. They wanted it in 1989
00:06:58.940 after a man killed 14 women at Ecole Polytechnique. They wanted it after six people were murdered at the
00:07:05.600 Quebec City mosque shooting. And they wanted it after the biggest mass shooting in our history where a man 0.98
00:07:11.240 opened fire and killed 22 people in Nova Scotia.
00:07:14.800 And we're talking about illegal guns. Especially the latest one, Nova Scotia. I know the Polytechnique
00:07:22.080 one, I believe it was an illegal firearm. In Nova Scotia, it was definitely illegal firearms. Not only was
00:07:27.760 he using illegal firearms, he had illegally made it like a bought an old police car and fixed it up like
00:07:32.880 an old police car in order to drive around and pretend to be a real cop while he stopped people to kill
00:07:39.080 them. There was a lot of illegal activity going on. And gun control would have stopped none of it
00:07:44.120 because the guy wasn't abiding by any of the laws in order to get a gun in the first place.
00:07:49.080 Speaker, why are the conservatives against keeping guns off our streets?
00:07:53.080 The minister said that his gun grab won't work, that it will go over budget, and that it would be better
00:07:59.160 to lock up criminals, as conservatives have been suggesting, but that they're going ahead with the
00:08:04.440 gun grab anyway. Because the prime minister wants to pursue electoral politics, Mr. Speaker, when a
00:08:11.560 mother is hit with a stray bullet, or a police officer is murdered by a firearm, or a bullet flies into
00:08:18.040 a child's bedroom as part of an extortion case, we don't have time for politics. So why is this minister
00:08:24.920 caught on tape playing politics with guns?
00:08:27.480 Mr. Speaker, in order to have a real conversation about crime, we need to have a real conversation about guns.
00:08:34.200 He had one. He had one on tape. That's the problem. He ended up having a real conversation about guns,
00:08:39.320 and he admitted to all the stuff that conservatives had already known. And I'm not even just talking
00:08:44.840 about the party. I'm talking about the gun organizations who have been campaigning against
00:08:48.360 this for years. They are absolutely correct. And like, it's almost a trite thing to say,
00:08:54.520 because everyone knows it. Law-abiding gun owners are not a security threat. In fact,
00:08:59.000 a law-abiding gun owner is one-third as likely to commit a violent crime compared to someone who
00:09:07.800 doesn't have a license. So it's basically people who have licenses and people who don't. Not
00:09:12.360 necessarily someone who owns a gun, although if you have a pal, you're very likely to own a gun.
00:09:16.600 But yeah, we should want more responsible gun ownership in society, because it makes people better
00:09:21.320 citizens to actually go and learn about firearms, to be able to practice with them, to be able to
00:09:27.000 understand the sort of the gravity of the sort of responsibility you have in society, and how you
00:09:32.760 have to be, you know, somebody worth worthy of being able to hold those gun ownership privileges.
00:09:38.600 And like, you know, I think it should generally be a right to own a firearm with the stipulations
00:09:43.480 that you can't be like a violent criminal and whatnot, which is effectively how the system should work
00:09:47.720 and is supposed to work right now. But the liberals from banning guns and slow walking gun licenses 0.91
00:09:53.560 have been attempting to basically undermine those rights.
00:09:55.960 Canadians want responsible gun control, Mr. Speaker. They wanted it in 1989 after a man.
00:10:03.800 My goodness, just stand on the people's graves, dude. He's not making any coherent points. The fact
00:10:08.840 that people die in a shooting doesn't mean that you ban guns. The thing is, again, many of these are
00:10:16.200 illegal firearms. And again, with many of these people, you could have gotten them on other crimes
00:10:21.960 they were committing or it was a random act where nobody could have stopped it. No law would have
00:10:26.520 actually prevented it. And they won't actually go after gang members in cities. In fact, they passed
00:10:31.800 a previous version of Bill C-5. I forgot what the name of the bill was. It's not the one that has to
00:10:36.920 do with major projects in this session of parliament. But it was one from from Justin Trudeau, I believe,
00:10:43.480 in 2021 or 2022, where they made it extremely easy to get off of even carrying an illegal firearm.
00:10:51.720 They let you off like way sooner from prison or they let you off with a very light sentence if you
00:10:57.480 were caught with an illegal firearm, even if you're a gang member. It's like, do you guys actually care
00:11:03.080 about gun gun crime? If the person who's who's violating every possible law to possess a gun
00:11:09.640 gets caught, here's like maybe a year in prison. Like they're a member of a gang with an illegal
00:11:15.000 firearm. You're going to give them a year? Give them freaking 10 years.
00:11:17.720 They killed 14 women at a call polytechnique. They wanted it after six people were murdered
00:11:22.840 at the Quebec City mosque shooting. And they wanted it after the biggest mass shooting in our history 0.98
00:11:27.720 where a man opened fire and killed 22 people in Nova Scotia. Mr. Speaker, why are the conservatives
00:11:33.320 against keeping guns off our streets? And why has this leader of the opposition voted against every
00:11:38.360 single gun control measure that he has been in parliament for?
00:11:41.960 He voted. Polychefs voted against them for the same reason that you think they don't work. 0.80
00:11:48.040 You know, being that they don't work. That minister did have a real conversation about guns.
00:11:54.440 See, just my point. Unfortunately for him, he was caught on tape,
00:11:59.560 caught on tape, admitting that the gun grab is a waste of money, caught on tape, admitting it would go
00:12:04.200 over budget, caught on tape, admitting it would be better just to lock up the gun criminals who are 0.58
00:12:08.840 actually doing the crime. Why is it that liberals only tell the truth when they don't think anyone is
00:12:17.240 listening? Mr. Speaker, let me reiterate, it's actually a good thing that this conversation was
00:12:21.880 caught on tape. And in fact, in fact, it will counter every single claim that this leader of the
00:12:29.080 opposition is making. Let me be very clear, Mr. Speaker, Canadians want responsible gun control.
00:12:34.920 The thing is, this tape has been out for more than 24 hours before he's speaking here.
00:12:39.960 Why doesn't he pull a quote and say, no, this is what you're saying. I said this, but I also said this.
00:12:45.720 You claim I did this, but I actually did this. That would be how you would actually say the tape
00:12:50.840 benefits you. The tape doesn't benefit him. That's why he keeps going back to this. Oh,
00:12:54.920 Canadians want responsible gun control, Polytechnic, Nova Scotia, Quebec mosque. 0.96
00:13:00.760 Well, we are in a position as a government, we committed to it during the last campaign,
00:13:05.960 Mr. Speaker. Canadians gave us a mandate on April the 28th to ensure that we move forward on this
00:13:12.200 program and we look forward to its implementation. Mr. Speaker, while this government blocks criminal
00:13:17.800 justice reforms that would lock up gun criminals, they want to go ahead and take nearly a billion
00:13:24.280 dollars away from border security and police officers to go after licensed law abiding,
00:13:31.000 trained and tested hunters and sports shooters. A project that the OPP refuses to enforce.
00:13:37.880 Numerous provincial governments have said they will not go ahead with. They've even had to ask
00:13:42.840 Canada Post to go and collect these firearms. The minister himself has now admitted that it won't
00:13:49.240 work. Why won't they drop the politics and save lives? Yeah. Yeah. And that's true. What he said
00:13:55.240 there was that they wouldn't vote for a conservative, I think it was a motion or a bill in order to
00:14:00.440 basically like get rid of a lot of the Bill C-75 garbage that we have in our criminal justice system.
00:14:06.680 The, you know, using somebody's race in order to determine whether or not you're going to give
00:14:11.160 them a proper sentence or not, basically the same day automatic release from prison where prosecutors,
00:14:17.800 if they want to hold a violent repeat offender in prison, they have to bend over backwards to file
00:14:22.520 the copious amounts of paperwork within 24, 48 hours before they get out of prison. But most of the time
00:14:28.280 they're let out of prison anyways, before they can even complete the stuff. And then even if you go
00:14:32.680 jump through all the hoops in order to file the paperwork and have a judge determine whether or not
00:14:37.800 this person should be held, they can just still release them no matter what their actual record
00:14:42.360 is. And that's why we have all these repeat offenders get let out and they're like, oh,
00:14:45.960 that shouldn't have happened. Well, then it should, then it wouldn't have happened if it shouldn't have
00:14:49.320 happened. The thing is that it does happen because the system allows for it. But I just want to cover
00:14:56.040 those two things today. I definitely want to have Tracy Wilson on the show to talk a little bit more
00:14:59.880 about the tape and how she thinks this whole thing is going to play out with the gun buyback that's
00:15:04.840 going on. Again, it's not, they're saying that they're really not going to enforce it that hard.
00:15:09.240 That's how, you know, that's how the liberals will kind of market it to gun owners behind the scenes.
00:15:14.440 Oh, you know, it's just if you voluntarily want to sell it back to us. With enough bandwidth,
00:15:18.680 with enough political capital, they'll force you to sell your gun back to the government and then
00:15:22.440 they'll just take it and not give you any money anyways. So that should be it for this video,
00:15:27.640 guys. No doubt I will be addressing BC politics stuff in the next couple of days. It's absolutely insane
00:15:33.800 out there. If you're in BC, remember, check out those events down in the description and pinned
00:15:38.760 at the top of the comments below. Tracy Wilson's tape will also be there. And also, if you're in BC,
00:15:44.440 consider joining the OneBC Party and donating. You do get 75% of your money back up to $100. Anyways,
00:15:52.600 so with that, see you guys later.
00:16:03.240 you
