Transcript

00:00:00.000 The media is being more transparent on Everon. What the new attack line is going to be on Conservative Party leader Pierre Polyev? Right now, the sort of smaller fringe left-wing websites are preparing the attacks that the legacy media will soon take on and then be able to go after Pierre Polyev on, pretending that this is a big controversy because a bunch of far-left websites said it was a controversy.
00:00:20.120 So right now, the website Press Progress, such a vaunted website run by open communists, is going after Polyev because he openly stated in a rally at Richmond Hill in Ontario that he is against gender ideology in schools and thinks that children should not have it being pushed on them in the classroom.
00:00:38.720 A eminently reasonable position. 80% of parents, or just 80% of Canadians, I guess, are on board with parental rights, and parental rights, the movement, is predicated on the fact that most parents are not comfortable with their kids being taught gender theory or being pushed on them in the classroom.
00:00:56.740 And then if a child is convinced that they should maybe identify as a different gender or something like non-binary, that the parent is not allowed to know if the person, their child, is identifying that way in the classroom.
00:01:08.300 It's obviously a violation of the sort of relationship between a parent and the child to have secrets being kept from them in the classroom where basically the teacher is acting almost as a co-parent along with the real parents.
00:01:20.360 That's deeply inappropriate, and Pierre Polyev is taking a very reasonable position by opposing this stuff.
00:01:27.140 But if you work for somewhere like Press Progress, an organization that has writers who still work there, who openly say that we shouldn't, or they were retweeting stuff saying we shouldn't celebrate Remembrance Day, and instead we should be celebrating the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, these people think this is very bigoted, homophobic, and transphobic.
00:01:45.380 Why? Well, it's because Pierre Polyev simply opposes far-left ideology being placed onto children.
00:01:53.160 And make no mistake, it's not because he said anything bad about transgender people or gay people.
00:01:58.280 Obviously, Pierre Polyev's never said anything close to that.
00:02:01.100 They're merely saying that you're bigoted because you don't give in fully to our fringe beliefs.
00:02:06.360 That is complete nonsense, and I think Pierre Polyev's going to win this round.
00:02:10.520 But this is exactly how the media cycle works.
00:02:13.820 I want to bring it up.
00:02:14.840 I'll share my screen here for just a second to go over the Press Progress article.
00:02:19.380 But this is how they do stuff.
00:02:21.300 They will print an article at a weird fringe website like Press Progress or AntiHate.net or anything like that.
00:02:28.680 And then they will use that reporting by people who are obviously very left-wing ideologically.
00:02:34.540 They quote their own left-wing sources saying that Pierre Polyev is rude or bigoted or mean because he opposes something that most Canadians oppose.
00:02:43.020 And then the CBC, CTV, Global, they'll eventually pick it up and say there's so many people mad at Pierre Polyev's recent comments about gender ideology, even though you cannot find anyone actually online who's outraged, who aren't just in the far-left orbit of Press Progress, AntiHate.com, and like the Walrus or whatever.
00:02:59.740 But this is the article, and it says analysis, and it reads, Pierre Polyev under fire after video surfaces of homophobic and transphobic speech.
00:03:07.640 And already this is complete nonsense.
00:03:09.680 They're making it sound like this was a secret videotape that Pierre Polyev didn't want you to see.
00:03:13.820 It was from the Western Standard who uploaded it themselves.
00:03:17.540 They commented on his speech basically saying that it's good that he is actually taking it to the gender ideology left and that everyone at the event and even the Conservative Party spokespeople, they didn't apologize for it.
00:03:30.020 They basically said, yeah, he said what he said and we stand by it.
00:03:32.820 But Press Progress is trying to drum up this idea that there's all these angry people out there, and are you going to be one of the good people who's angry at Pierre Polyev for saying something that's vaguely bigoted, even though we can't prove it is in any way?
00:03:45.240 This is exactly their game.
00:03:46.700 It's just to create faux outrage that then the mainstream media, because a bunch of left-wing outlets said that there was, they can now say there's a bunch of sources out there saying that people are mad at Pierre Polyev, and they're never going to find more than just activists to say that they are.
00:04:00.600 Whenever the media says there's outrage about something, it's like five people.
00:04:04.720 Nobody cares.
00:04:05.680 I didn't see this video trending on Twitter.
00:04:09.220 I did not see the Press Progress stories trending.
00:04:11.400 I eventually found them because I Google people's names in politics just to see what's up with different people.
00:04:17.400 Nobody was covering this.
00:04:18.760 Even Press Progress, you have to be really specific with the wording on Google to make them even appear in Google News.
00:04:24.600 Nobody cares about this story whatsoever.
00:04:26.940 And Pierre Polyev, again, is 100% on the side of both families and just basic liberty.
00:04:34.140 Whenever people bring up their opposition to parental rights, it's always either based on one or two things.
00:04:39.820 Crazy hypotheticals that obviously do not commonly happen, or just the sort of idea that there's fake rights that are being infringed upon.
00:04:48.160 So you get a lot of these people saying, well, it's violating the privacy rights of a child not to be able to keep secrets with a teacher about how they're identifying the classroom, or it's somehow violating the sanctity of the classroom for parents to be able to inquire about what is in lesson plans, what's in the curriculum being taught.
00:05:04.140 And somehow that's deeply wrong.
00:05:05.980 And the same people will say, well, you can just look up what's in the curriculum.
00:05:08.300 Like, well, obviously, each teacher has a different lesson plan.
00:05:11.240 And as soon as you bring up that, even though they'll smugly say, well, you can just look up what they're teaching, they'll immediately say, well, you're not allowed to know what they're teaching, because that's intrusive, and it's sort of breathing down the neck of a teacher.
00:05:21.540 And, like, it's obviously not.
00:05:23.040 And the vast, vast majority of teachers do not teach gender ideology in the classroom.
00:05:27.400 The problem is there's a lot of leeway being given because of the lack of transparency that a teacher who subscribes to that ideology can push it subtly in the classroom or very openly.
00:05:38.040 And unless a child tells their parent, it's just never going to get out there.
00:05:41.920 And the second thing they do when I say the crazy hypotheticals, and I've even heard this from people who are supposedly conservative, very small group of people in Canada who believe this.
00:05:50.600 But they'll say that, well, parental rights is a dog whistle for people wanting to harm or oppress gay kids or something like that, or trans kids.
00:06:00.120 Obviously, that's not it.
00:06:01.360 It's a fringe hypothetical saying that someone could get harmed if a parent is informed of what's going on in the classroom.
00:06:07.120 Now, what do you think is the worst modus operandi going on here?
00:06:11.440 That parents should, when they drop off their kids, the shutters come down around the schools and they're not allowed to know what's going on?
00:06:16.660 Or is it that parents, there's a one in a million chance that a parent is going to be deeply mean and hurtful to a child who's gay or something like that?
00:06:26.760 Obviously, that is not a scenario that commonly happens, and there's already laws to prevent that.
00:06:31.000 If you are abusing a child, bullying your own kid, harassing them, there is child services for that.
00:06:37.460 But we shouldn't be literally dismantling the parent-child relationship because there is crazy hypotheticals you can bring up, in which case a child could get harmed.
00:06:46.800 By that standard, we basically should just give the kids over to the state because, hey, well, a parent could do something at any given time, so why not just have the teachers do it?
00:06:54.560 But then you think, well, once a teacher does something to a child, they're bullying a child, they abuse a child, they do something.
00:06:59.060 Like, well, should children not be able to go to school?
00:07:01.860 Obviously not.
00:07:02.860 That's foolish.
00:07:03.880 And we shouldn't be operating based on these just kind of fringe hypotheticals that because something could happen, there should be more government protections and there should be fewer liberties for families.
00:07:14.760 Completely ridiculous.
00:07:15.720 But I want to keep going through this article from Press Progress because it is absolutely a hoot.
00:07:21.100 I will include my article I did on Press Progress exposing how far left they are.
00:07:26.660 Like, they're not normal people.
00:07:28.400 I'm not saying that they're just progressives.
00:07:30.000 They're openly communists.
00:07:31.320 They're okay with violence.
00:07:32.500 They're okay with Antifa.
00:07:33.800 They're the type of people who want to defund the police.
00:07:35.680 These are not anyone who anyone would see as a reasonable figure to be commenting on things that Pure Polly says.
00:07:41.520 But going down, they just talk about who does all the stuff and who was commenting on it and the Western Standard took it and their spokesperson talked to the Press Progress.
00:07:50.380 But down here, they say, Tyler Boyce, executive director of Enchant's network, Canada's largest network for 2SLGBTQI plus organization, that he's worried about the impact of Poly's divisive rhetoric on children in Canadian schools.
00:08:04.800 What's going to happen?
00:08:05.660 What's going to happen?
00:08:06.220 Do you have a data point about how the parental rights movement has harmed anyone yet?
00:08:10.540 Do you?
00:08:11.600 Or is it just hypotheticals?
00:08:13.140 Or could this divisive rhetoric could do something to a kid?
00:08:16.400 What?
00:08:17.140 What?
00:08:17.460 You have to name it.
00:08:18.500 Or it's just random words.
00:08:20.680 I could throw out random words every single time.
00:08:22.840 Like, I oppose bike lanes, obviously, for like normal reasons.
00:08:26.040 But if we were starting to throw out hypotheticals about like, well, bike lanes could help thieves who ride bikes get away faster because they have an open area to get onto the road and away from the store they disrupt.
00:08:36.500 Maybe that also is not an argument against bike lanes.
00:08:39.160 That's a fringe weird hypothetical of some random scenario you constructed to say something's bad.
00:08:45.580 Why?
00:08:46.080 Again, I will clarify.
00:08:47.260 I do not like bike lanes at all.
00:08:49.080 I think that is just a way of trying to force people to stop driving their vehicles.
00:08:52.400 And it's just government engineering against the way people want to live their lives.
00:08:55.680 But whenever I criticize a progressive plan, I don't bring up some one in a million chance of something bad happening to say why you shouldn't have it.
00:09:03.740 It has to be a straightforward reason that on the most common scenario, what's the negative outcome?
00:09:13.180 The common scenario is what proves something is not good.
00:09:17.620 If the common scenario is likely to lead to something bad, then it might be a bad policy.
00:09:22.520 It might be a bad idea.
00:09:24.380 But if you have to invent a strange, crazy scenario in order to argue against something, you're just arguing in the sense in favor of it at that point, basically saying I can't really point out anything.
00:09:34.240 But let's get to back the article.
00:09:35.440 Sorry for bouncing around, guys.
00:09:37.040 And he said, pure polyist, dismissive rhetoric puts children and youth in danger.
00:09:40.820 What danger?
00:09:41.620 What danger?
00:09:42.120 It's like all youth deserve respect and freedom to be who they are.
00:09:45.840 And that's why the radical conservative attempt to roll back inclusive education guidelines is unacceptable.
00:09:51.440 And it's like, OK, one, what danger?
00:09:54.400 And when they say stuff like that, they're somehow like trying to, you know, like violate a child's right to be who they are.
00:10:01.680 Well, why?
00:10:02.520 And this is the thing that's concerning a lot of parents.
00:10:04.840 Why is it that so recently so many children are saying that I'm non-binary or I'm the opposite gender?
00:10:10.580 No one wants to beat up on these kids or harass them or whatever.
00:10:15.040 They're children.
00:10:15.760 Everyone's inherently nice to children.
00:10:17.840 The problem that parents have is that, well, is it that the specific teacher is suggesting things to my kid and they're absorbing it?
00:10:25.600 Because children are very susceptible to suggestions, just how children are.
00:10:29.180 So when children are not being allowed to, like, or when there's lack of transparency on sort of how your child acts in the classroom and what the lesson plans of the teacher are,
00:10:39.380 that's concerning parents because they're wondering if because of the very left wing ideology of a teacher,
00:10:44.160 they're suggesting things to a child and that the child is absorbing it, even though they're not identifying as who they really are.
00:10:50.720 They're identifying as interesting things that the professor or not the professor, but the teacher is suggesting that you could be.
00:10:56.940 Oh, you could be an opposite gender and children love unique experiences.
00:11:00.020 So when you suggest some unique identity that a child could be, there's a chance they might identify as it simply because it's interesting to a child and children are very curious.
00:11:10.440 It's just like if you had a super, super far right teacher or whatever, you would probably not want them, like, teaching if they're going to be, like, you know, teaching anarcho-capitalism to the children.
00:11:21.820 That's not really something the teacher should be doing. That's really just that's a personal thing for you that it's not needed for a child who's in third grade who should be reading, like, learning, reading, writing, and arithmetic.
00:11:32.520 It's fairly dangerous to actually be giving these incredibly high concept, academic concepts to children who cannot understand them and can also not detect guile from the person that's teaching them to understand that this person is trying to get me onto their ideological train or are they legitimately, you know, having some sort of a concern for me?
00:11:52.420 Because, frankly, a lot of the gender ideologues, and this is why parents oppose them, it's not that they're, like, trying to be nice to children and see what they identify as and kind of be understanding.
00:12:03.860 It's that they actively want children in their class to be trans.
00:12:07.240 There's videos from people like places like Libs of TikTok showing this that basically teachers favor those children and they very much do this thing where they put very, poured on attention to a child who's not going to identify as a standard gender.
00:12:20.980 And that is obviously a very, very big incentive for a child to sort of act that way at school to get attention from a teacher, knowing that the parents can't do anything about it because they're not, you know, needing to be advised at all about this type of stuff.
00:12:36.300 But another thing that Press Progress did is that I don't need to bring this up, but they had another story, a follow-up from this, because, again, it's all about creating false momentum behind the story.
00:12:45.680 They say, Richmond Hill deputy mayor apologizes for cheering on Pure Polly's homophobic and transphobic speech.
00:12:51.000 Did they prove it was homophobic and transphobic?
00:12:52.840 Nah, Press Progress, just in their former article, through their expert, labeled it transphobic and homophobic.
00:12:58.940 So now that's part of the narrative that he did give a transphobic and homophobic speech.
00:13:03.340 Did he?
00:13:03.820 No, he actually didn't.
00:13:04.880 But now they've basically gotten this weakling from Richmond Hill, the deputy mayor, to say, oh, I apologize for all the people approving of what Pure Polly have said because it was transphobic and homophobic because Press Progress put pressure on me to say it was.
00:13:18.220 This is a false narrative.
00:13:20.080 And again, I guarantee in a week's time, you'll have the Toronto Star, the CBC, Global, CTV.
00:13:26.080 They'll have op-eds out there talking about how bad Pure Polly have is for trans kids, and he's coming after them, and he's going to put people in danger.
00:13:33.880 It's complete nonsense, but this is how you launder a story.
00:13:38.060 I'm going to go back from the beginning again.
00:13:39.600 Sorry if I'm repeating myself.
00:13:40.720 But you have a fringe left-wing organization like Press Progress or Anti-Hate put out a couple of articles about a certain subject.
00:13:47.480 They quote curated experts who will always say that the conservative is radical.
00:13:51.520 They're always going to say that whatever they said was hateful.
00:13:53.540 And by doing that, by writing a couple of articles and then ginning up a little outrage on social media, not enough that it actually amounts to anything, that it then gives the CBC license to come over and say, oh, well, look, there's something going on here.
00:14:05.240 Well, we have to cover it.
00:14:06.360 There's a little bit of outrage out there.
00:14:08.240 And they'll cover it from the neutral perspective where they won't say that Pure Polly is transphobic and homophobic.
00:14:13.540 They'll just say that people are saying that he's transphobic and homophobic.
00:14:16.360 And they'll quote the same expert, quote-unquote, that Press Progress used.
00:14:20.240 And then after covering it a couple of times by just saying that there's outrage out there, eventually they'll have an op-ed writer say Pure Polly is dangerous because look at all this coverage of things that people are saying are deeply dangerous.
00:14:33.000 And then the article that's supposedly supposed to be neutral again after that op-ed will just say dangerous rhetoric, that Pure Polly is using dangerous rhetoric.
00:14:41.760 And the narrative will just become he's using dangerous transphobic rhetoric, even though that's just something that five idiots online said who represent 20% of the population who opposes parental rights.
00:14:53.280 And even then, I think half the people who oppose parental rights just don't know what it means.
00:14:57.440 And they bought the narrative that it's somehow a big dog whistle to, like, you know, the far right wing and whatever.
00:15:04.980 Anyways, that's it for me today.
00:15:06.900 I just want to quickly plug the fact that I'm running for the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination.
00:15:11.700 If you live out in this riding, make sure to buy a Conservative Party membership and sign up in my website in the description below.
00:15:17.860 And also, I still have my legal fundraiser going on for my law case against this billionaire.
00:15:24.100 I'm in a defamation defense case.
00:15:26.020 We're winning, from my opinion, it's been going very well.
00:15:29.420 And if you can throw in $5, $50, $100 into that thing, it really helps me out.
00:15:33.800 You don't have to.
00:15:34.900 Just liking and sharing and subscribing to the channel really helps me out too.
00:15:38.780 And other than that, I hope everyone has a fantastic day and they don't mind me rambling for this long in my videos.
