00:00:00.960Hello, everyone. It's me and Daniel, back from the dead, or me back from like a couple days ago, and Daniel, back from the dead, revived now in Yellowknife, here for a live stream, not to talk about anything particular in Canadian politics, because I think at some point people get annoyed when every stream is just summing up last week in politics.
00:00:22.420Every once in a while, that's required, not always required. But today, all I want to do is force Daniel to watch and look at the worst, yeah, the worst liberal TikTok videos from this guy I love to watch videos from now.
00:00:36.920But first, we will talk about a few, at least Twitter posts while people get in here. I don't want to leave this as a channel whenever we do a live stream like everyone else. We just sit around for 20 minutes saying, oh, we're going to start soon when more people get in.
00:00:50.600Yeah, we will start now for the hardcores who will get the best of this, which is the advice, get off TikTok. I have never downloaded TikTok. So if you send me TikToks, I won't watch them. It is Chinese spyware.
00:01:02.480But somehow, you know it's ruining society. It's the reason the kids are into Osama Bin Laden. Guys, nuke TikTok. I am calling for a thermonuclear first strike against TikTok.
00:01:15.440Daniel, it doesn't make sense. Yes, it does. I haven't thought about it that hard, but I do believe in it.
00:01:21.420Yeah, even for a serious point, even if people are going to be like, but if you get rid of TikTok, a new American version of TikTok would just pop up. Good. Good. Fair enough. The thing is,
00:01:31.580the US government should back a TikTok alternative. Like, we've known since Vine and even before that, there's one before that, like short video platform, people really like it and it will be successful, but you can't monetize it.
00:01:45.360Right? You can't really monetize TikTok. But the CCP is just putting TikTok out there because they know destroying the West is worth it for them. Like, that's what they're getting out of it. That's why TikTok is viable.
00:02:01.840Even the most, a lesser social media company, if they did their own version of TikTok, it wouldn't have nearly as much of a cultural Marxist algorithm to it.
00:02:09.500It's just a thing that TikTok in, like, just TikTok in general's algorithm, when you, like, put it, when you sort of, like, test it on certain subjects, I think they found on Israel versus Palestine,
00:02:20.240it's like a 13 to 1 distribution difference between pro-Hamas posts to Israel posts.
00:02:27.300Anyways, but before we go to the TikTok videos, again, I do not have TikTok.
00:02:31.960I am just using my desktop and I will quickly shut it down and, like, scrub my computer after viewing TikTok.
00:02:37.600Yeah, burn the computer. Just why we'll be burning his computer.
00:02:40.060Yeah. No, and I've actually heard that if you keep it open on desktop, it can read your other tabs.
00:02:45.420So, you don't keep it open for long. I am putting my life on the line for you people.
00:02:48.680But first, I want to talk about some crazy liberal tweets on X.
00:02:53.480For some reason, and this is what I mean when I say that the left is, like, extremely reactionary these days,
00:02:59.760it's always this trope, like, oh, it's the reactionary right.
00:03:02.520People always talk about the reactionary right, and those people exist.
00:03:05.580The amount of just knee-jerk conservative bad posting on liberal X is really the root why people don't support the liberals anymore.
00:03:14.560It's basically become a party for people who don't like the conservatives, just as the PPC is a party for people who just don't like the conservatives.
00:03:21.820So, Daniel, can you see anything wrong with this post?
00:03:25.460Despite having 38 less MPs than the liberals, conservatives have spent the liberals on tax-funded tax travel by...
00:03:31.700Like, does this not count, like, like, government?
00:03:45.180At the same time, it also doesn't even measure distance to Ottawa.
00:03:49.920The vast majority of liberal MPs live in, like, a tiny bubble around Toronto.
00:03:55.000Well, it's Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto is, like...
00:03:57.540And there's a few people from Vancouver, but...
00:03:59.840Right, and Vancouver, right, but, like...
00:04:01.540But from that perspective, per capita, the highest spending party per capita for travel would be the Greens because of Elizabeth May and Saanich and the Gulf Islands.
00:04:22.060But the NDP is this weird thing where they're going after, like, Polyev because he happens to have a house in Ottawa because he's the opposition leader.
00:04:29.400And he's a big hypocrite if he doesn't just burn down his own house.
00:05:46.800We can watch some TikToks in the end if people want to hear the stories of some of the inside fighting the Christmas jihad or the anti-Christmas jihad.
00:05:54.460Yeah, that night that it happened, I did go over some of the videos.
00:06:45.840And yes, there is homelessness out of control, drug abuse, fentanyl, medical assistance dying.
00:06:50.780But it's not as bad as South Sudan is right now with a bunch of jihadists roaming around killing everyone.
00:06:56.120So, everyone, pop the brakes, you know?
00:06:59.840Because, listen, we're just on the pathway to destruction.
00:07:02.380We're not in the apocalypse right now.
00:07:05.220Here, what I'll add is under the, in the comments for Theo's, like, cartoon or the replies, there were so many people saying,
00:07:13.800oh, the conservatives missed that Canada was raided or, like, you know, Vancouver and or Toronto and Calgary were raided the two best places in the world to live.
00:07:21.540Oh, hey, you're going to make me rant.
00:07:23.420Do you know why Theo did not put that in his cartoon?
00:07:27.440That while some people want to say that we're broken, we actually have two cities in the top 10 of the world because nobody actually believes that's true.
00:07:34.660It's just a stupid metric based on nothing that you can't.
00:07:38.740It's metrics based on nothing from center-left elites who've never even, like, or, like, went to Toronto once and were like, oh, I had a really good kebab.
00:08:00.320Like, and what I hate about, like, what I hate about the Canadian elites the most is, like, they would watch the country burner.
00:08:08.660They would, like, they would allow, like, a million Canadians to die if it helped them out on some imaginary rating from a BS global NGO to put Canada, like, three slots higher.
00:08:21.060So we could be in, like, you know, what does livable countries even mean?
00:09:18.800I also like my props, and I can slowly expand.
00:09:21.360Also, I will say, the green screen score thing, that was, like, at tag teams, right?
00:09:26.600Like, there was, like, a technical crew that set that up for me.
00:09:29.540So, you needed, like, someone on, my boy, Shivam, on the thing.
00:09:33.440Like, there was, that was a whole, that required a crew.
00:09:37.440Green screens only also ever look so good.
00:09:39.900I've never seen a green screen where I'm like, wow, that green screen.
00:09:43.120It's a green screen at the end of the day.
00:09:45.600But I want to just look, but, yeah, to finish off on this thing, there's a reason he had to at least admit that Canada's bruised.
00:09:52.800It's because nobody believes we're really batting a thousand here.
00:09:56.440And, again, even he, he even thinks that we're not doing well.
00:09:59.280There's a reason why he makes, because he's more left-wing than even the liberals.
00:10:02.120Theo makes cartoons like this alluding to a crazy cost-of-living crisis, and supposedly the liberals are not doing enough to address it.
00:10:09.240And, like, but then, you know, because Paulyov, since the country's broken, he basically rushes to the aid and becomes the white knight of Canada saying, actually, pretty great.
00:11:44.060Justin Trudeau did late end-of-the-year interviews.
00:11:47.320The year ended, and then it took, like, Trudeau, like, two weeks to actually do any videos because he realized that Polyev was, like, getting a lot of traction based off of his end-of-year videos.
00:12:14.860Post-CBC articles, post-CTV articles, and all this stuff.
00:12:17.400It's, like, this is, like, the meme of, like, the peasant working and saying, I don't like society.
00:12:22.400And then, like, the left is popping out of the well saying, but yet you participate in society.
00:12:26.600It's, like, what is he supposed to invent his own media company to share articles from?
00:12:30.820The CBC, his problem is not the CBC is, like, wall-to-wall fake news.
00:12:35.900That's where I don't consider, like, the CBC 100% fake news.
00:12:40.320It's 95% true facts and then 5% spin that makes people think they're more liberal than they are because the story leads you in that direction.
00:13:27.140Like, well, they do a bad job of it because for some reason they can't even get their, they can't get any news hosts out outside of, like, Fox News
00:13:50.700Was it someone who crossed the floor or is it a guy who previously ran for the liberals or is super liberal and then is now running in the nomination?
00:14:33.800He did a second at, like, Doug Ford's thing after the George Floyd thing.
00:14:37.820I think Doug—I've heard that he actually kind of hates Ford for this, where he had to come out and say, you know, the black community's had a problem trusting the Toronto police.
00:14:46.120It's like, that's not a thing in Toronto.
00:15:27.880The fact that I can get a graduate degree means it's not impressive in any way.
00:15:31.080So that's one thing to take away from this episode.
00:15:34.160But this guy reminds me of every single very liberal person in my, like, in my classes knows a couple half-remembered facts about things.
00:15:44.380And because he's become—on, like, the left-wing establishment of the campus, has this, like, outsized, arrogant personality to—like, that backs up all of his beliefs and the way he kind of projects himself.
00:15:55.680I want to show you this one where he goes after conservative MP Michelle Ferreri for going into the men's bathroom.
00:16:02.600Obviously—and remember, he's cut this video off.
00:16:05.260The background is that Michelle Ferreri is going after the liberals for wasting money.
00:16:09.320And, you know, most notably recently, the liberals paying for women's, you know, tampons and pads being put in men's bathrooms in all federally regulated buildings.
00:17:39.220And she actually was announced for anyone watching.
00:17:43.360Literally, there was a reason there was a male assistant standing at the door.
00:17:46.920She had him go in and just scouted out to make sure she wasn't going to, like, interrupt anyone in the bathroom to be able to film this ridiculousness.
00:18:20.820I like how he put hashtag trans in the video description on the right, even though I don't think even the word is mentioned in the entire video.
00:18:35.180Just went in to find period products in the bathroom.
00:18:42.040Her mind's going to be blowing that the government's giving out soap and water and toilet paper for free as well in these bathrooms, but either way.
00:18:50.200She says this is out of touch, but their whole argument is that bathrooms are supposed to be a safe space for people,
00:18:58.340and they don't want trans people in bathrooms because there might be a privacy violation or, at the very worst, like, some sort of SA.
00:19:07.280Yet, she just blatantly just walked into a male bathroom recording on a camera because she heard that there's tampons.
00:19:19.700Did she hear about it or are there tampons in the bathroom?
00:19:23.760It's just, like, his stupid point, too.
00:19:26.180Yeah, the government was pretty proud about this.
00:20:53.440Furthermore, even if you're not a trans man, period products are expensive.
00:20:57.480And perhaps maybe putting period products in the male bathroom will remind maybe a dad or a husband to take one home for their loving partner or their young...
00:23:05.080And he's like saying, maybe this is a great reminder.
00:23:07.780The socialist in him saying, maybe putting these in the bathroom will be a great reminder that these are expensive and maybe they'll take them home to like their like female family members.
00:23:19.240Also, don't, isn't he a socialist and shouldn't he recognize that they are literally putting these in buildings of people who make well over the median income in Canada?
00:23:43.300So you're saying, yeah, the reason why you put them in men's bathrooms is so men can take them and then sell them?
00:23:48.660So these expensive products will become more expensive by wasting them in men's bathrooms where teenage boys will just, you know, use them for like pranks.
00:23:58.520That's what, that is basically, you were subsidizing TikTok pranks for boys.
00:24:03.700Well, you missed a super, you go to a super chat.
00:24:44.380But every single time there's a minority government, even some majority governments, everyone thinks that there's a spring election every single year.
00:24:55.460He voted with Jim Miller on every policy.
00:24:57.320He says he stopped being a liberal two years ago.
00:24:59.680Oh, this is the follow up from David talking about the guy who's going to try and run for the conservatives in his area.
00:25:05.260Yeah, I'm always skeptical whenever I hear a guy who's like, oh, I stopped being a liberal a bit ago because I didn't like their policies anymore.
00:26:11.100So you understand why you've seen Kevin Vaughn and all the things he said publicly and all the things he said publicly.
00:26:17.580Like, where it's so unaligned with the liberals' values that it aligns, you know, kind of perfectly with the conservatives' foreign policy that you actually can stitch together from like all the stages you've seen.
00:26:26.460Okay, you could see this is why he would jump parties.
00:26:31.280But it's when someone's like, I think David was right.
00:26:33.940Like, this is clearly a sign of someone who sees the writing on the wall, wants to stay in politics, wants to be in a cushy environment where there's tampons in the men's room.
00:26:43.700So I'm – David, I think your suspicions are accurate.
00:26:53.200Here's my thing, and this is also in my writing.
00:26:55.960I think right now the biggest threat to the conservative party is red Toryism more than the actual liberals or the NDP.
00:27:02.840Those two parties couldn't drag themselves back from the dead if they, like, if they, you know, somehow had the entire Chinese regime funding them.
00:27:11.920But really the biggest threat is a poly of government having a lot of kind of fake, like, conservatives from convenience people getting into caucus.
00:27:21.340And while the government starts doing stuff, you get them all hitting the parking brakes and, hey, let's not cut taxes.
00:27:27.620Hey, let's not do this because that's contentious and I want an easy job in my office because I only came here because it was seemingly a job.
00:27:35.000Yeah, like, what happens to the conservative party has to do something hard.
00:27:37.760Like, no, my other thing is people like this are fickle and can be easily whipped.
00:27:42.100Like, people like this often won't stick their head out and be like – like, the most dangerous red Tory, you could say, is, like, someone like Michael Chong, who's an actual principled individual, who's a legit red Tory.
00:27:56.180And I don't have a problem with Michael Chong being in the party.
00:28:05.680I will – if Michael Chong runs for leader like he did, I will scream to the hilltops and try and stop him.
00:28:12.760But if, let's say, hypothetically, Pierre Paulyer makes him a minister of something, fine, right?
00:28:19.100But Michael Chong, I say he would be the guy who would have the cojones to make a stand to be like, hey, I think we should blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:28:27.740And if we need to do some serious counterterrorism stuff or, like, actually, you know, this is a time to fight the commies in the universities, he would get cold feet and find an excuse not to.
00:28:37.640But, like, when it comes to, like, you know, is the Islamic Republic of Iran an actual danger to Canada?
00:28:44.760I think a good red Tory, someone who is obviously left on a lot of issues, they're – not tolerable because that sounds a little bit too dismissive.
00:28:53.340Ones that I'm okay with are the people who they're really good on one issue.
00:28:57.100Kevin Vong, if he joined the Conservative Caucus, there's a lot of issues he'd probably not be, like, super hawkish on.
00:29:08.620But on foreign policy, that guy's probably the exact person you want when it comes to, like, being, like, a secretary to a minister of foreign affairs because he can bridge a lot of gaps, especially geographically.
00:29:20.880And he's not the type of person who gets cold feet when it comes to opposing government Iran, opposing, you know, the regime in China, all this stuff.
00:29:30.000Anyway, so I want to get to another super chat.
00:29:31.680Then we will get past this TikTok video, and we'll move on to the one on C11, which will make you scream.
00:29:37.440And people say Paul Chong would be good on foreign affairs.
00:31:13.620This is someone who hangs out in, like, a student union lounge and considers themselves very well-connected and political because they sit around with people who agree with them.
00:31:23.420Also, with things like this, like, ideology, like, being in communities of, like, intellectual things, like, it's not a brag if you know anything about, like, poli-sci or sociology or psychology because then you're, like, the way – if you get into these communities, then you create grouping.
00:31:37.600Like, to me, in my view, an interesting geopolitical or political pundit, you have to have some heterodox takes.
00:31:47.020Like, I think what white people like us – you guys can tell us because you guys clearly like us or don't hate us, at least – is our ability to, like – we're not inside of this community.
00:31:55.540We're not part of the establishment conservative commentary.
00:31:58.240We're not part of the establishment liberal commentary.
00:32:00.580We don't even fit into the PPC, like, establishment.
00:32:03.000We do not get – we're hated by everyone in a nice way, and everyone also has slight warm feelings to us, which is the perfect position to be in.
00:32:12.760Like, I don't like the populist community.
00:32:15.000I don't like anything where it just becomes – like, it becomes very gamey whenever you kind of get into these different – especially the social media communities.
00:32:21.680It gets very gamey of even conservative commentary, even a lot of other conservative YouTube channels.
00:32:27.240It just becomes stealing other people's news clips, playing something about Justin Trudeau, saying, isn't Justin Trudeau an idiot?
00:32:33.940And then that's the entire 20-minute video.
00:32:40.040I'd rather something actually be explained.
00:32:41.820I'd rather someone's opinion actually be put forward rather than just, like, you know, jumping into the populist community where I just say, you know, Trudeau's gay or something like that, and I get views.
00:32:58.620I really don't have much else to say to this video.
00:33:02.160It is completely expected at this point.
00:33:07.220They cherish the bathroom so much, yet they will just barge in unannounced.
00:33:12.900Hey, Editor JB here just wanted to say that if Trudeau did this very stunt or somebody on the Liberal Party did this very stunt by going into a bathroom and recording unannounced, the conservatives would absolutely lose their mind.
00:33:26.940I would contend that anyone would be mad at any male going into, like, a woman's bathroom.
00:33:34.220Yeah, this is another thing that should be said.
00:33:38.800Like, I know he's part of the poli-sci community, which is not a community and not a science.
00:33:42.900But if you are a liberal and you're watching this, there's a massive difference between a man going into a woman's bathroom and a woman going into a man's bathroom.
00:33:54.120This is why – this is exactly why the conservatives had a female MP go into the male bathroom.
00:33:59.220Well, it's also tampon to the men's bathroom.
00:34:00.460Trying to – definitely she's trying to be provocative.
00:34:03.180At the same time, yeah, there's a reason why most of the bathroom debate is about women's bathrooms because men, to a certain extent, don't care.
00:34:12.100And they don't care because there's an inherent threat of violence when there's a man in a woman-specific space.
00:34:17.760Not that all men are violent or that, like, men are – but you guys know there's bad men out there.
00:34:24.620And there's a reason why the saying is, like, never hit a woman, be chivalrous, is because men are generally, on average, stronger than women.
00:34:32.220And can – you know, there's the threat of, you know, predation.
00:34:36.360And women in change rooms and in washrooms are extremely, extremely vulnerable, both, you know, emotionally and physically.
00:34:45.600Like, that's why it's dangerous for men to be in a women's washroom.
00:34:49.780I don't – like, that's why I don't really care as much.
00:34:52.820Like, I don't want women in the men's washroom.
00:34:54.460Like, I like – listen, I like hanging out, mixed men and women in a lot of places.
00:34:59.920And some places you just should be male only.
00:35:03.180And some places you should be female only.
00:35:21.260And let's not – let's not – make no mistake.
00:35:23.560If you watch any of this guy's content history, if it was a liberal woman doing the same thing because of something else that was going on in male bathrooms,
00:35:30.140as if conservatives mess with bathrooms in any way, shape, or form, they don't, so there would be no point.
00:35:35.320But if a liberal woman did this, even without having a staffer checked and someone got mad,
00:35:39.900he'd be like, look at all these snowflake men who don't want women to come into their bathroom.
00:36:24.520Here's what happened today in Canadian politics.
00:36:27.160So you may have heard over the last few years a lot of uproar about a particular bill in Canada called the Online Streaming Act, or also known as Bill C11.
00:36:36.200It got to the point where very, very large creators on this very platform, and creators including myself, were contacted by anti-C11 lobbying groups in this ruse to try to tell people that this bill is bad, and it's going to be –
00:36:52.160I'm just going to say nobody actually contacted this guy.
00:37:09.420That is, like, the most obvious fake story I've ever heard.
00:37:12.040It's going to censor content and restrict content to Canadians.
00:37:18.260I, being a politically educated person, looked at the bill and looked at this lobbying group and told them to shove it, despite the thousands of dollars that they were offering me for this sponsorship.
00:37:27.880But that's not what we're talking about here.
00:37:29.560This bill, essentially, is done with, and it went through the whole government landing in the Department of Canadian Heritage, whose job it was to draft a final report to be handed over to the regulatory body that is the CRTC.
00:37:44.080Essentially, the directive says that the large streaming giants like Netflix, YouTube, Apple TV, and Amazon Prime have to ensure that Canadian content is being shown to Canadians while being used in Canada.
00:37:56.740Nowhere in the directive does it say podcasters need to register with the CRTC, despite what the opposing party is pushing as a rhetoric.
00:38:22.400They were probably offering him $10 million and a brand new Lamborghini, and this man turned it down.
00:38:28.660And notice when he was listing platforms that were going to be regulated, at no point did he actually mention TikTok, which is the only thing.
00:38:38.480He wasn't even on YouTube at the time, but supposedly he's this big YouTuber that they were offering.
00:38:42.820All I want to say is this is a self-proclaimed, politically educated man who just said the CRTC does not regulate content.
00:38:53.380The CRTC's entire existence is to regulate content.
00:39:13.600It's basically saying, do you know that – hey, Daniel, when you get arrested, did you know that it's not the Minister of Justice's name who's, like – he's not the one who comes and arrests you?
00:39:29.440I'll quickly go back to Pat Chourette.
00:39:31.480Our prime feminist probably has walked into a woman's space and bathroom to preach to women, considering his sister is a male feminist.
00:39:39.340Yeah, people always forget about the fact that he literally – that a female –
00:39:43.260He's a reporter and said she experienced it differently, even though back in 2001 or 2000 when he did sexually assault her, his excuse then was if he knew she was a journalist, he would have done it, because he only likes to prey on women who can't defend themselves in the public eye.
00:39:57.300I would not be surprised if this man has done whatever.
00:40:02.200Yeah, the guy we're currently watching – and the thing is, he'll say, I don't like Trudeau, I don't like the liberals, because he's a socialist.
00:40:08.220He dressed like a socialist in, like, the vast majority of his videos.
00:40:10.880He's always wearing, like, a red sweater or whatever, because you have to know from a distance he's obnoxious.
00:40:15.880But, like, the thing is that, like, every single one of his videos, you can even tell he knows that the Liberal Party is very socialistic, because he bends over backwards to defend them.
00:40:25.860He will always – he always will, like, shrink back and say, well, I don't like the NDP, I don't like the Greens, I don't like the liberals, because I'm a socialist.
00:40:32.800So I don't agree with any – but the thing is, he clearly knows they agree with him, like, 90% of the way, because he comes out of the woodwork to say that whatever they're doing is actually correct.
00:40:44.560So, really big, really big supporter of the little guy, considering that he's totally okay with government coming in and, you know, destroying people's content.
00:40:53.300But that's pretty much all socialists.
00:40:55.880Including being critical of the government and the CRTC.
00:40:59.720If anybody knows anything about the CRTC, they do not regulate content.
00:41:05.340That is the CSBA, which is the Canadian Standards Broadcast Association.
00:41:09.200The CSBA is a voluntary organization that bigger broadcasters buy into to help ensure that content that enters the Canadian airwaves is sort of safe to listen to.
00:41:19.680Regardless of all that, Bill C-11 and the directive that it created to the CRTC is done.
00:41:46.340And the CSBC, that's basically just saying that there's a regulatory body that the, you know, the big networks will basically say, hey, let us know if we used a vulgar word that you didn't like.
00:41:57.660That has nothing to do with warping algorithms, which is obviously a regulation.
00:42:01.920And his lie that they don't make people register with the CRTC, yeah, obviously, that would be too big of a task to get small creators to register with the CRTC.
00:42:10.460The thing that's going on here is that the bigger platforms are being regulated.
00:42:14.980So, by proxy, smaller individuals are regulated.
00:42:19.400If YouTube gets regulated and you see far less of our videos being recommended because we're not Canadian, that's what is going on here.
00:42:28.480I will say what people should know, though, with the CRTC and Canadian content, and I said this a lot in the C-11 stuff, but I want to reiterate it.
00:42:37.180What counts as Canadian content in Canada?
00:42:39.980People who put themselves under the purview of the CRTC become Canadian content.
00:42:46.100Canadians like us that don't submit ourselves to the CRTC don't count as Canadian content.
00:42:50.660We are two Canadian citizens, both born in Canada, creating content in Canada, mostly for Canadians.
00:42:58.480Like, and receive money in Canadian dollars.
00:43:01.840We don't count as Canadian content because we're not regulated by the government.
00:43:06.320So, Canadian content, as defined by the CRTC, is actually content regulated by the Canadian government, not Canadian created content.
00:43:15.060I do want to see you, once all these rules come out, I want to see you register with the CRTC, just for the CRTC to confirm that you are indeed Indian content.
00:43:27.740And ensure that Canadian content is being broadcasted and funded in Canada.
00:43:33.120And to reiterate, your content's never going to get censored, you are still going to be able to see American content, and you will still be able to see your favorite Canadian creators.
00:43:48.280The thing that annoys me with this guy is it's just, again, all these kind of, well, it's very arrogant, the very...
00:43:55.280Well, he's the type of guy who's done this in other videos.
00:43:57.860Well, some people, like other people out there, they will listen to True North, but I'm here to, you know, disprove some of their stuff or, like, give you some factual information.
00:44:07.120And it's that you can tell he's just convinced himself that the side he's picked always is right, so that if...
00:44:14.240And the thing is, there are actually left-wing creators on YouTube who are pushing back against C11, but he's kind of, you know, stuck everyone into, like, button-hold everyone, that if you're against C11, it legitimately, he's like, you're paid off, because I was attempted to be paid off with my one subscriber.
00:45:13.980So Canadians can't see news on social media?
00:45:17.340I'm going to explain Bill C18 in two minutes or less.
00:45:21.300Bill C18, also known as the Online News Act, was a bill that was brought forward by the Canadian government in order to help ensure that Canadian journalism and Canadian journalistic entities are being paid for the work that they've put out.
00:45:34.940You see, as it stands right now, Facebook, Instagram, and Google, and all the other social media sites that offers a news-type platform are able to take the news from, say, CBC, CTV, Globe and Mail, Trump.
00:45:51.340They have the news on their platforms, posted by the news sites or other users themselves.
00:45:58.720In what reality do you have to pay someone else because they voluntarily came and used something that you did?
00:46:06.000It would be like if I had, like, a bar or something like that.
00:46:09.780We had a back patio and a massive stage.
00:46:12.340And anyone, if they want, can get up on it and play music or something like that, promote themselves, do whatever you want.
00:46:17.340And then the government comes over and says, if a guy gets on and starts playing his accordion, you must pay him now because there are 300 people on this patio.
00:46:26.180And 300 people just listen to that music.
00:46:28.140And by proxy, they might have bought another beer or something like that.
00:46:30.960That is effectively Bill C-18, is that you've created an open place for discourse where people can benefit from speaking their minds, posting articles, doing all this stuff.
00:46:40.980But now they owe you for having even for using the thing that you created that would not have existed unless you created it.
00:46:47.880I'm not a fan of big tech companies because of certain other sensorial things that they do.
00:46:52.440But I'm never going to accuse somehow Zuckerberg of being worse than whatever the liberals are going to come up with in regulation.
00:46:58.620But even just the comment on the side of this video is just ridiculous.
00:47:05.180Sorry, but what were you going to say?
00:47:06.760It's like the C-18 in no way is in no way censorship.
00:47:10.720It's just a way to keep independent journalism by funding them correctly.
00:47:14.940Now, not a single independent media outlet will get a dollar from Bill C-18.
00:47:22.200Because remember, Bill C-18 did come along with a bunch of government money that just went right to the legacy media.
00:47:27.620It was a bit of an omnibus bill where they had all these extra regulations, plus another, I think it was like $150 million for the legacy media.
00:47:37.580True North didn't get any of that money.
00:47:39.340Western Standard didn't get any of that money.
00:47:40.920Even left-wing outlets, Canada Land did not get any of that money.
00:47:44.580Independent journalism means that technically when you break the CBC down, there are independent journalists who work for them.
00:48:01.360This is like Toronto Star whatever put it on their site and not give credit to the original journalist, nor do they ever link to the original site.
00:48:10.780This means that revenue cannot be generated by the journalistic entity or the journalist themselves, and in fact there are ads being run over top of the journalistic story on these respected social media sites.
00:48:24.560So this means that Facebook, Instagram, and Google are profiting off of another person's work or another entity's work and are not obligated to give any of that profit to the actual person that created the story that people read.
00:48:37.420So this bill aims to help bridge that gap and ensure that Canadian journalism is funded by these tech giants that are taking their work and profiting off it.
00:48:47.600Nowhere in the bill does it say if they cannot pay the journalist or journalistic entity or refuse to pay them that the news needs to be blocked or removed off of social media.
00:48:57.500The blocking or the banning of news in Canada is entirely a protest from the tech giants because they do not want to pay.
00:49:04.360And of course they are spinning it and saying it's because of this act and it's this act that's causing this to happen, blah, blah, blah.
00:49:09.980That's just, you know, political spin.
00:49:12.400The reality is, is that these tech giants are not paying for the work they are essentially stealing and also profiting off of the work that they're taking from journalists.
00:49:21.740This act was intended to help bridge that gap and make it fair and keep journalism funded in Canada.
00:49:26.980So this is, this is, this is just socialism.
00:49:49.740That's not how it works with Google and they can put on their app and they pay you for when you appear in it because it's like a curated app that Google has some subscribers for.
00:50:02.880I've never seen any of our articles or any other websites articles where it wasn't the article itself that links to the website where there are ads running.
00:50:12.520I mean, what he's pretending is that you would have to be monumentally stupid to believe this, but what he's essentially claiming is that like the way people post like articles on Facebook, the way you all shared articles on Facebook and Instagram and wherever you share articles before is you just take a giant screenshot of the article and just post that.
00:50:31.480And then you black out the journalist's name, right?
00:50:33.240You have the headline like, you know, Justin Trude.
00:50:41.240You go black line over Daniel Borman and then do the whole thing and just post it.
00:50:45.940And it's like, no, when you post articles, you're like, I like this.
00:50:49.320You click the link, you post it, and then you put a caption like, you know, this article, something, something, something, whatever, bananas.
00:50:57.580And if you click on that, it goes to the article, their website page.
00:51:02.180Like the reason, like social media, as people who run a news company, an independent news company, social media is a great tool to drive traffic to your website.
00:51:26.260And then this got nuked because the idea is the idea is, well, you know, Facebook and the big tech companies, all they have to do is pay up.
00:51:33.120And it's their fault that the reason that they have to block it is because the true government is going to sue them if they do not pay journalists if their stuff is still on.
00:51:45.000Facebook was they were going to have to pay $56 million a year for this Canadian content.
00:51:50.420And again, it does not benefit Facebook for you to click off and go to another site.
00:51:55.220Like Facebook allows it because that's content people want to see Facebook for there's a reason Facebook does reward when people post videos directly upload them to Facebook because it keeps people on Facebook and they get more money from the ads that get serviced on those videos.
00:52:09.820I learned when when like when I started doing this, you know, Sia, who I started with, it was more experienced on this.
00:52:18.240Like you put face if you want to get something on Facebook, Facebook videos to Facebook, YouTube videos to YouTube.
00:52:25.940You don't run ads for Pepsi on Coke.com.
00:52:41.980And the reason why Facebook allows you to click off on this, they don't want you to.
00:52:44.540They want you to keep scrolling, but if Facebook, but they know, but they know that if Facebook is the place you go to centralize your news, if you're on Facebook and they let you go off, you're like, oh, I click on news, national post, something, something, you know, Fort McMurray bake upon.
00:53:02.360And then, oh, and then whatever, you read it.
00:53:04.760And then you go back to Facebook to see your next news article.
00:53:07.820Then they're like, okay, we're the homepage for news.
00:53:14.780He does look and sound like a guy who probably has used the word in the past, emotional labor.
00:53:20.480The social do not understand how, like you were saying, how work actually works.
00:53:25.500Also, again, he, I would love for him, and I guarantee there's an example out there, but is there a big, like a big issue with Google and Facebook stealing people's content?
00:53:43.200This is like a true and on conspiracy where it's somehow that Trudeau is out there fighting Mark Zuckerberg and trying to take back all the Toronto Star's revenues that they lost.
00:53:57.040Listen, you can find these people in politics, and they exist left, right, center, and it's outside of politics, too.
00:54:03.020And there always are people who will look for anything that confirms their viewpoint or political position or whatever position, and then just take that as absolute fact and not want to critically examine it because they don't want to critically examine anything, right?
00:54:20.560And this is often the mentality that produces the type of person who lines up left or right on every single issue across the board because you just kind of look for whatever confirms your predisposed notions, and then you just don't examine it.
00:54:42.340It was just like just taking a government talking point, something Omar Al-Ghabra said, pulled out of his ass at a press conference, and then said, oh, yes, this is now fact.
00:54:49.320And then ignoring everything else to the right because he's like, oh, good, I have something to disprove it, like, without actually thinking about the type of proof he's getting.
00:54:56.960And, like, you can see this left and right.
00:54:58.220Like, it's easier – well, you can see it on the left.
00:55:00.360It's easier to spot on the left kind of because, you know, you know the truth, and you can see, oh, they're being dumb.
00:55:06.540It's also pretty easy to spot on the right if you're open to it because you should know your side of the argument.
00:55:11.500And when you see people on your side being, like, just latching on to, like, random straws to get to a point, not actually, like, okay, I know you're saying that because that's, like, sort of a popular thing out in the ether to say.
00:55:24.800But, like, the actual justification for us being against the carbon tax is X, Y, Z, not, like –
00:55:30.220And this is an example of why I don't like – this is why TikTok and places like TikTok are awful platforms because no one on TikTok would be able to correct this guy because who's going to watch on TikTok a thing for people to scroll through very fast is ever going to watch this get debunked.
00:55:48.040So it's just someone can rapid fire out a few – and it's all – I find a lot of – TikTok is about attitude projection and self-promotion.
00:56:11.420There's a bunch of conservatives out there who are probably paid by, like, a lobbying firm to say it is.
00:56:17.140I have not been approached by a lobbying firm for TNT, and we have way more invested in him on social media platforms that are getting regulated.
00:56:25.460I do not believe him for a second that anyone has approached him with more than a candy wrapper to bribe him for anything.
00:56:32.380Yeah, like, who would have thousands of dollars to pay random TikTokers to, you know –
00:56:37.880YouTubers already have enough incentive to oppose it.
00:56:40.060JJ McCullough is, like, the top guy opposing C11 and C18.
00:56:44.100He's never had to be given a dime to do it.
00:56:46.240He's probably paid more money flying to Ottawa to go to Senate hearings and, like, House hearings to speak on this than he has ever actually gotten from the video.
00:56:55.300I think if you actually got it to the hearings, you get reimbursed on travel and board.
00:57:15.460The best advocates for positions are often the people who truly believe it and will do research and facts on things, like, on their own –
00:57:25.120Like, paying people to hold political positions is often fruitless because they will never really do a good job of it.
00:57:32.060Like, they'll never make content worth the money.
00:57:37.780That's why, like, the best advertiser, content creator, you know, synergy is often when, like, you know, it's conservatives or liberals.
00:57:45.760It's like, you know, this is a company I believe in.
00:57:48.460Like, when they can literally say, like, okay, like, you know, okay, sometimes it's a bench mirror, like, sleep, peel it, blah, blah, blah.
00:57:54.080So, like, okay, it's a bed and whatever.
00:57:56.800But, like, you know, BlackBerry or Coffee, it's veterans and they're anti-woke.
00:57:59.900And, like, I believe that's what it's like.
00:58:15.320I think this guy is probably sincere with what he believes.
00:58:17.880And the thing is, I was actually talking to someone today about this.
00:58:21.380There's no – I almost don't even like the term grifter.
00:58:24.980There's very, very few grifters in the world.
00:58:27.860People wake up in the morning believing the things they believe.
00:58:30.720Even if someone is factually incorrect or even if the person obviously took their position in a reactionary way, like this guy seems to, 100% he believes everything he thinks because he's so ideological.
00:58:43.600Even if he takes a position not barely knowing what he's talking about, he cannot conceive of a reality where he's wrong.
00:58:51.780But I want to go to the YouTube channel.
00:58:54.200That guy has 250,000 followers or something around that on TikTok.
00:58:57.760That is why it's scary because I guarantee this guy could even do pretty well on YouTube potentially.
01:00:31.800It's basically saying that the conservatives are ahead in the polls, so they must be wrong.
01:00:35.440And then he makes an argument that it's unethical to release polls between elections when it's too far out.
01:00:40.600But it's so blatantly – like, I know for a fact he would say – he would be making videos about how good the liberals were doing in the polls if the liberals or the NDP was ahead and how pathetic it makes pure Polyev look.
01:02:37.880Like, listen, if you're, like, working class and, like, whatever, it makes sense that you can have, like, a scooter so you don't need to Uber places and you, like, you want to avoid the TTC?
01:02:53.280My problem is one of the things that helps push technology forward and makes it cheaper and more efficient and ultimately cleaner in the long run is legitimate market pressures, right?
01:03:06.860So if we can talk about, like, okay, what are the concerns with e-batteries?
01:03:11.520Like, what are the electric batteries?
01:03:12.960What are the concerns in, like, the mining?
01:03:15.420It's, like, I'm not a, you know, I read the Lorax as a kid.
01:03:18.400This is why I like Canadian oil companies because they have a mandate that they have to fix the land, you know, and return it to the way it was after they are done with it.
01:03:29.400This is why Justin Trudeau's attack on the oil companies has caused an ecological disaster with these orphaned wells because he's driving oil companies out of business so they cannot fix the land that they use because they're out of business and then it all goes to hell.
01:03:44.020There's no standards in these lithium mines.
01:03:46.720There's no, because it's called green, right?
01:03:49.140Anything you can label with green, all the standards and all the market pressures go out the window because there's then this, like, there's this unholy alliance between, you know, the media class, the political class, the academic class, and all this, where they're just, like, we memory hole anything and drive people crazy over the e-bike thing.
01:04:05.620So, on the large scale, this, you know, e-bikes having a problem is less of a big deal than I think people will make it out to be.
01:04:14.940But I think the people, the reason people are making it out to be such a big deal is because they know that the establishment will have a underreaction to this for obvious political reasons.
01:04:27.300And I think the anger at the e-bike going boom on the TTC is actually really legitimate anger directed at the entire green energy system, which is creating all these problems.
01:04:39.320So, maybe, I'm not sure if you agree or not, but I think there's a concept that I've been thinking about that really, if you're ever looking, the greenest solution, and this is maybe not exactly correct in all situations, but the greenest solution or the thing that's going to cause the least amount of emissions, if you really, really care about emissions, is getting the energy as close to home as humanly possible if it's widely available.
01:05:02.540If you live in a town where there is a coal mine seven kilometers away, you should probably use coal because it is a seven kilometer away truck stop, like from pickup to drop off, to be able to use that stuff.
01:05:15.720The problem with a lot of green energy is it's like four cargo ship trips to get all of the materials together, then you have to manufacture it overseas, and then you have to ship it to Canada, or you have to ship all the parts to Canada to manufacture it,
01:05:28.780probably with a bunch of unionized workers that the government is forcing companies to overpay, causing a bunch of extra issues with way too many workers needed to do one job and whatnot, which is a big waste of energy and everything like that.
01:05:43.400You should always just use what's easily available.
01:05:46.400That is how the US between 2016 and 2020 lowered emissions, because they said, hey, you can use the natural gas that's in your own state to fuel things.
01:05:54.940You are not mandated to get green technology from out of state to do something you don't have to, you know, like there's we don't need wind turbines, you don't need all this other stuff, you don't need to like extra regulations, you don't need to use coal, because we're all hyper like regulating oil and gas.
01:06:09.380And for some reason, like a lot of coal lobby groups tend to have lighter regulations, just use what's easiest to use.
01:06:20.640If only someone who wasn't R to the tarted was running the country.
01:06:26.120I do want to ask, I do want to ask one more question for one more subject, because I think this is going to be a complete dry fart of an issue over the next year.
01:06:35.720Yet, I think people are going to freak out about it a lot this first week of 2024.
01:06:39.640Do you think that Jagmeet Singh is going to force an election this year?
01:06:45.660Good, we have discussed that fully, we have gone through every nook and cranny, we have touched, we have turned it over in our hands, as much as humanly possible to find anything we've missed.
01:07:16.580If you're on the side that has, you know, more political and media clout, off in the left, a great tactic politically is to lie.
01:07:30.660Because you don't get called out on it.
01:07:31.980So I recommend, if you're in the NDP or the liberals, and you want to say something to the public, I suggest you just lie.
01:07:39.760Because you'll never really be called out on it.
01:07:42.740Yeah, well, and I guess that's a great note to end off this episode, a great little piece of advice out of the cap of Mr. Daniel Boardman.
01:07:53.460So yeah, why the public lie better, basically get better at lying.
01:07:57.800Yeah, I would appreciate it a lot better.
01:07:59.720It would be, listen, liberals, NDP, I would appreciate you lie better.
01:08:03.720So I feel like you're putting some effort into the deception.
01:08:06.340It would make my content more interesting.
01:08:09.680I could talk a little bit more about why what the liberals and NDP are saying isn't true, rather than just saying, they say the economy is going really well.
01:08:51.420The door knocking times kind of overlap because you're two hours ahead of me.
01:08:55.160Usually, like, I'm usually door knocking from, like, 3.30 to 7.30.
01:09:00.060And that kind of like any because I can't do a live stream early because everyone's at work and I can't do it later because everyone's asleep.
01:09:06.040This is just a great we do it every once in a while.
01:09:08.460Maybe, Daniel, you can do more solo streams here and there as time goes on.
01:09:12.800I'll make sure we get you a better microphone for our streaming so you don't always have to, like, fight with your lapel mic.
01:09:36.160So other than that, everyone, you know, to what to do, click the subscribe buttons, click the like buttons, click the share buttons, click all the buttons, and we'll see you guys next time.
01:09:46.220Same bad time, same bad place, as Daniel usually says at the end of his things.
01:09:50.200I'm stealing his lines because I have nothing of my own.
01:09:52.260Yes, because that was an original Daniel Boardman line.
01:09:55.260Oh, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, Adam West stole it.
