00:00:00.000 It's been at least 24 hours, and you know what that means.
00:00:03.320 That means the online left is freaking out about something completely common sense
00:00:07.580 that conservative leader Pierpaleev said.
00:00:10.500 In this case, Pierpaleev took the controversial stance that women's spaces are for biological women,
00:00:17.440 that women's sports are for biological women. 1.00
00:00:20.720 The height of bigotry.
00:00:21.920 Yes, I know, you're all gasping, falling out of your seat, rending your clothes and, like, clutching your pearls.
00:00:27.680 Just look at this, and it will scare you even more.
00:00:30.000 The tyranny that Paliyev wants to put down on this country.
00:00:34.120 My question, sir, is should you form the next federal government,
00:00:38.140 will you make female safe spaces safe again by introducing legislation that bans so-called transgender women 1.00
00:00:47.360 from participating in female sports and getting access into female shelters and female prisons? 1.00
00:00:56.340 Female spaces should be exclusively for females. 1.00
00:00:59.120 Not for biological males.
00:01:02.720 You asked if I introduce legislation on that.
00:01:06.120 A lot of the spaces you described are provincially and municipally controlled.
00:01:11.240 So it is unclear what federal legislation would reach federal legislation would have to change them.
00:01:20.420 I'll leave it at that, and he is 100% right.
00:01:23.800 As a federal government politician, if he was the prime minister, he could not dictate exactly to provincial and municipal governments on a lot of these issues without going through crazy amounts of legal and constitutional hoops.
00:01:36.340 But overall, the statement that everyone is mad at, or not everyone, I say everyone, I mean online leftists, is that female spaces should be for females and not biological men.
00:01:48.020 That is considered the height of bigotry on the left in Canada, because the left in Canada has become the far left.
00:01:55.620 There is not very many just standard Christian type liberals anymore inside of both the liberal government as well as liberal and NDP party circles.
00:02:04.800 And I will prove it to you because I want to cut over to a clip of Mr. Jagmeet Singh reacting to what Polyev said and himself absolutely losing his mind over the fact that Polyev is, you know, taking common sense positions when it comes to, you know, just reality.
00:02:22.880 It's not even really a, I don't know, it's not even really a political stance.
00:02:27.060 It's just a reality stance.
00:02:28.220 He was asked about transgender people in sport and change.
00:02:33.040 But yeah, so Singh was asked about this, and here's his answer.
00:02:37.440 Hi, Mr. Singh.
00:02:38.040 I was hoping to get your reaction to Pierre Polyev's comments today about, you know, female spaces should be exclusively reserved for females, not biological males.
00:02:47.260 He was asked about transgender people in sport and change rooms and bathrooms.
00:02:51.400 What do you make of those remarks?
00:02:53.360 And like, what is, what is Singh actually going to say?
00:02:56.140 Like, I know what he's going to say.
00:02:57.600 You know what he's going to say.
00:02:58.880 But what is he going to say to win over voters that, oh, no, no, women's bathrooms are not actually really for women.
00:03:05.380 It's just anyone who wants to identify as a woman. 0.99
00:03:07.960 And while that sounds nice and tolerant, that means that women's and men's spaces mean nothing anymore because it is effectively an arbitrary decision whether you are apply in that area or not.
00:03:19.080 Like, how does a police officer ever remove someone from a bathroom that they were not supposed to be in if literally through mere identification you can walk in and you are totally allowed to be there?
00:03:30.460 It's nuts.
00:03:31.140 So the context of the question I understand is about the safety of women.
00:03:36.120 Well, clearly, Pierre Polyev doesn't care about the safety of women because he hasn't spoken to what women have talked about when it comes to their safety.
00:03:42.180 What is clear?
00:04:12.160 What is clear in our country, the threat of violence to women comes from men in our country.
00:04:21.120 Violence against women.
00:04:22.320 And Polyev wants to lock those people up.
00:04:24.680 What did Polyev like, you know, right after he said women's space are for women, just start high fiving people and just saying, yeah, men rock.
00:04:31.100 Do whatever you want.
00:04:32.020 Who cares?
00:04:32.780 That's not what happened.
00:04:34.320 Like, but Jagmeet Singh just, I guess, invents lines that other people have spoken.
00:04:38.960 It's perpetrated by, vast majority by men against women.
00:04:45.300 And what women have asked for, women who are working in those spaces to keep women safe is more funding for shelters so that women can leave violent situations, domestic violence.
00:04:53.920 Shelters are good. 0.96
00:04:55.480 Women's specific shelters are good. 1.00
00:04:57.260 But how pathetic is it that rather than enforcing the law so that women can walk freely anywhere they are, have, you know, domestic abusers and like, you know, people assaulting women get locked up.
00:05:08.780 Let's just have more spaces so women can sit in a small concrete box where, in theory, nobody is going to hurt them. 1.00
00:05:16.320 How about we just make society safer in general rather than having emergency spaces?
00:05:22.120 They can leave and go somewhere safe.
00:05:24.240 Well, just recently, Pierre Polyev voted against funding women's shelters in December.
00:05:30.520 So I'd ask him, how does he answer that?
00:05:32.060 They're getting so much or they're attempting to pretending to get so much mileage out of the conservative votes in December.
00:05:37.880 The conservatives said up front, they were going to vote against every single policy put forward until there was a pause on the carbon tax.
00:05:45.720 And so they're saying it doesn't matter what the policy is.
00:05:47.620 We're just voting no so that we can debate it as long as possible and drag this out to try and put pressure on Singh, Trudeau and Blanchet to get rid of the carbon tax, which they didn't do.
00:05:57.580 And now they're pretending that the conservatives somehow oppose all of these great things.
00:06:02.740 That question, if he truly cares about the safety of women, what women are asking for is more funding so they can get out of violent situations and go to a shelter.
00:06:10.600 Yet he voted against funding, additional funding for shelters.
00:06:14.480 What women have said that they're concerned about is harassment and violence perpetrated by men.
00:06:19.360 In sports, they're worried about coaches, male coaches that exploit and commit sexual violence or other forms of violence against women.
00:06:26.260 But that's where we need to address the existence of violence, the discrimination that women face in terms of pay equity. 0.89
00:06:34.080 Is he ever going to get to the point of should biological men go into women's change rooms? 0.96
00:06:38.600 He's not, because even he knows, even with a lot of his own base, that's kind of a weird thing to approve of.
00:06:44.760 It's an issue that women have talked about when it comes to sports, that we're not compensated or to pay the same amount. 1.00
00:06:49.740 And I pay the same amount because people don't watch women's sports as much. 1.00
00:06:53.740 Just as if I started up a league of independent journalists playing sports, nobody would watch it because overall, not to insult everyone in the independent media space, this applies to me too.
00:07:03.400 We're not exactly athletes and people do not pay to watch us.
00:07:06.680 There's a reason.
00:07:07.180 I don't even watch sports in general.
00:07:08.700 So I have like no, well, I have nothing in the, no skin in the game here.
00:07:12.240 But like, there's a reason why people want to watch the best of the best at any sport.
00:07:16.500 Yes, technically there are the best of the best women, but people have a bias towards the highest, like the fastest paced, most aggressive, you know, category of the sport. 1.00
00:07:27.600 The issues that actually matter to women. 1.00
00:07:29.840 And for Pierre Paulyet to ignore the glaring, serious threats of violence against women.
00:07:37.500 He actually does take it seriously and he wants to increase penalties for all those, those threats to women's safety and lock people up.
00:07:44.680 Not address those real serious concerns.
00:07:46.540 And in fact, vote against funding shelters shows where he really says.
00:07:50.640 You voted for Bill C-5 that allowed people to get off easier for carrying illegal handguns and a lot of other crimes.
00:07:56.360 So what are you talking about, Jagmeet?
00:07:58.220 Yes.
00:07:59.980 Thank you for True North for clipping all this stuff.
00:08:02.580 I don't really clip stuff myself because I don't exactly have a massive team behind me.
00:08:06.200 But like, wow, there's so many, there's people like Faye Johnson on Twitter right now, freaking out about, you know, whatever is like, like that Pauly of is somehow bigoted.
00:08:16.920 Oh, he's not recognizing transgender women because they're men.
00:08:21.480 They're, they're, they're biological men, women spaces. 0.97
00:08:23.840 Women don't exactly want to have a bunch of people simply identifying as women in their space. 1.00
00:08:28.160 Yes, you can respect them.
00:08:29.180 But the whole point is that in terms of a biological standpoint, the spaces are meant for biological women, not people who identify a certain way, or it just becomes complete clown shoes.
00:08:41.260 And the space starts meaning absolutely nothing.
00:08:43.500 The space, a female space means nothing if it applies to everything that's not female. 1.00
00:08:47.680 It's just like the one of those things where it's like, you know, if you're not for like, you're, whatever, it doesn't really matter.
00:08:54.200 But it's one of those things where you can't simply just state like, oh, well, he's not, he's not respecting transgender women.
00:09:00.540 Well, at some point, a female space has to mean something. 1.00
00:09:03.920 And it can't just mean identification.
00:09:06.020 That's an abstract postmodern way of trying to define things.
00:09:09.340 And it leads to just confusion, more confusion, and more, you know, exploitation of women's spaces for things that they were not meant for. 1.00
00:09:17.280 Anyways, that should be it for me today.
00:09:19.400 I have my Give, Send, Go link in the description below.
00:09:22.600 That's for myself and the National Telegraph being sued by a billionaire developer for defamation.
00:09:27.800 He has no evidence we defamed him.
00:09:29.480 All of our guest writers article about that mentioned, the only parts of the article that mentioned him were based on a larger Globe and Mail story that came out about him like a year and a half before.
00:09:38.140 That's never been taken down because the reporting's accurate.
00:09:41.220 And so he's just trying to bully us into apologizing.
00:09:43.400 So if you guys can donate to that, it really helps us out.
00:09:46.120 It reduces the burden off of us.
00:09:47.560 We've paid over $25,000 into defending ourselves, and we are not interested in giving out fake apologies to bullies.
00:09:54.640 Anyways, that should be it for today, and I'll see you guys next time.
