00:03:00.000 Thank you.

00:03:30.000 Thank you.

00:04:00.000 Hello everybody, welcome to the Shadow Davis Show.

00:04:23.640 This is Tuesday, December 23rd, 2025, and there's a few things I want to mention.

00:04:29.360 So, first of all, to my all-access Nighthawks who are watching on the website and or Telegram this evening,

00:04:35.860 we are on Facebook, YouTube, X, and Rumble for the first half of the show,

00:04:42.160 and then I have a special treat for all of us in the extension tonight.

00:04:46.260 We're watching a movie, and it's not one of these traditional Christmas movies that people watch every year,

00:04:52.140 like Christmas Vacation or whatever.

00:04:56.660 What's that one with Macaulay Culkin?

00:04:58.400 home alone it's not that die hard not a traditional christmas movie tonight we actually

00:05:06.660 go into a uh i guess you'd call it one of those biopics kinda and we're going back

00:05:14.700 almost 200 years for this one yeah it's gonna be good the reason that i wanted to come on well

00:05:24.540 there's several reasons i wanted to come on tonight on all of the social media is is because

00:05:31.180 of one of the stories we have tonight and i want you guys to understand how serious this could be

00:05:39.480 in the new year when the liberals do this we've already got bill c2 bill c8 and bill c9 these

00:05:46.200 are hardcore censorship bills they're going to try and hit us with now the conservatives are

00:05:51.880 fighting back as hard as they can in committee obviously they're going to fight back as hard as

00:05:56.460 they can in the house but it doesn't look like it's going to do any good the liberal unless we

00:06:03.660 can get special interest groups to pipe up and say you guys are making a huge totalitarian

00:06:09.400 authoritarian mistake here we ask you to reconsider and gut this bill completely the liberals have

00:06:16.060 tried two three this will be their fourth attempt to pass this kind of a bill and we're going to

00:06:22.820 get into this in just a couple of minutes also there is somebody who is suffering with a

00:06:30.940 with a horrible medical condition mark freeze and our friend

00:06:36.620 warrior patriot i learned so much from this guy over the years i mean this guy

00:06:43.520 was preaching the UN agenda 20, 25 years ago to six people. He'd go and he'd do a talk and there'd

00:06:53.520 be six people there. And two years ago or three years ago, I saw him come through Winnipeg. He

00:07:00.000 was on a tour with Laura Lynn and he had rooms of four and 500. People were interested. They

00:07:05.720 were standing up. They were taking notice. He was the first one who explained to me

00:07:10.360 the UN SDGs, ESG, DEI, all of that stuff. And then it was easier, much easier for me anyway,

00:07:18.700 to put the puzzle together to where we're at now. Mark is suffering from frontal lobe dementia and

00:07:26.340 he and Jen, his wife are having a terrible time making ends meet. So I put up their give,

00:07:31.920 send, go on my Facebook and hopefully, and I understand money is tight. You guys, I get it.

00:07:36.920 it's Christmas. And even if it's not Christmas, money is still tight. I mean, what Carney has

00:07:42.400 done to the economy, it's, it's outrageous. But if you can find 10 bucks, you know, I mean,

00:07:48.760 if a thousand people give 10 bucks, that goes a very long way. And these guys are really hurting.

00:07:56.740 And I can guarantee you that if they were able, they would still be fighting the fight with us.

00:08:03.280 but right now they're not and it's on us to help so I'm going to share that give send go

00:08:11.160 in a little bit what's the other reason oh yeah I just wanted to say I hope you guys

00:08:16.620 have a merry Christmas keep your eye on the ball keep your eyes wide open because this is the time

00:08:21.740 of year when we're all distracted they're going to try and do stuff they can't pass laws but they

00:08:26.940 can try and push things through committees and they can the bureaucrats are still working behind

00:08:33.220 the scenes right so they can try and get paperwork done get things passed sign agreements with the u.n

00:08:39.680 and other countries to get things past the goalie while we're celebrating so yeah absolutely

00:08:46.160 celebrate celebrate christmas celebrate as much as you can but also one eye on the ball

00:08:51.460 and one eye on the booze okay let's get down to it here starting with this one oops not this one

00:09:00.040 this one here the canadian press left-wing corporate media at its absolute worst this is

00:09:07.560 where cbc ctv global city news and a lot of smaller publications around the country

00:09:15.760 will get their filler news from they haven't got enough reporters to cover something they

00:09:21.240 use a story from the cp pierre pauliev has called them out many times in press conferences so anyway

00:09:27.320 the senior editors at the canadian press have decided that mark carney is their newsmaker

00:09:34.140 of the year why why he hasn't done anything yet and by not doing something he's done something

00:09:44.960 so why would these guys say this is where you're going to hear the mindset of the left-wing

00:09:51.720 corporate media right here kathy mccann from am 800 cklw in windsor says his rise from global

00:10:01.340 economic expert to prime minister and watching his plan for the country has been fascinating

00:10:05.560 kathy i would suggest to you that you read his book

00:10:09.540 uh who's this here james armstrong from global news says arguably a political outsider who

00:10:17.960 reversed a 20-point liberal deficit to secure a large minority from the clutches of seemingly

00:10:22.900 assured defeat you know the liberals could have put a monkey quite literally in as leader after

00:10:31.120 trudeau left and they probably would have won this is no jab at pierre poly of you guys it's

00:10:37.340 just that people hated Justin Trudeau so much. They were so tired of his virtue signaling

00:10:43.640 and his emoting and his righteous attitude, even as he went and just did the stupidest thing time

00:10:50.620 and time and time and time and time again. He's a hypocrite. He's a trust fund baby.

00:10:56.940 And Canadians were absolutely tired of him. So like I said, they got to put a pig in there

00:11:02.880 with a red jacket on and an L on the front,

00:11:06.740 and the liberals probably would have gotten a minority.

00:11:08.740 So I don't think that Mark Carney...

00:11:10.980 And besides, not a political outsider.

00:11:13.560 He's been advising the Liberal Party financially

00:11:16.100 for at least three years.

00:11:18.520 He knows everybody.

00:11:19.980 Don't say he's a political outsider.

00:11:21.720 That's absolute BS rhetoric.

00:11:24.800 Steve Murphy from CTV.

00:11:26.860 Mark Carney dramatically reversed the fortunes

00:11:28.980 of the Liberal Party,

00:11:29.760 which was facing near certain defeat

00:11:31.640 under justin trudeau it's like oh thank you mark thank you so much these are the the minds of the

00:11:39.140 left-wing corporate media completely reshaped the face of the lpc in just a few months

00:11:45.260 turned certain electoral defeat into an almost majority managed to end daniel smith versus

00:11:51.440 ottawa rift with mou no that's very much still a rift nothing has been done the only thing that

00:11:58.640 has been done is an MOU has been signed. That's it. And David Eby and all of the First Nations

00:12:03.800 are still standing in the way of that. And Carnia said, hey, look, if we can't get BC to buy in,

00:12:08.140 if we can't get the First Nations chiefs to buy in, then this is a no-go. He said it.

00:12:14.200 So how is... These people are propaganda artists. Hard to imagine. Canadian political drama could,

00:12:23.420 sorry yeah political drama could draw near as much attention as the u.s

00:12:28.960 what yet carney somehow became a household name in mere months and has continued to alter the

00:12:38.400 landscape from jennifer chamberlain of rogers oh my god lick his ass much a year ago most canadians

00:12:47.720 probably didn't even know his name he was the bank of the governor of the bank of canada for

00:12:52.080 what, six or seven years? Yeah, we know his name. Now, Mark Carney is the prime minister leading

00:12:58.800 the country through a particularly tumultuous time. Mackenzie Ladd from the Globe and Mail.

00:13:04.840 A clear choice, taking over the Liberal Party amid terrible polling, winning a snappy election,

00:13:10.020 quickly shaking things up within his own caucus. All the same faces! And already getting into some

00:13:15.940 disputes with provincial leaders from greg bowman city news vancouver so that's the mindset and

00:13:23.260 we're talking about guys we're talking about senior editors of the canadian press these are

00:13:29.420 the people who manage the editors the editors manage the writers so there are a couple of

00:13:35.580 levels up from the average reporter on the street they call the shots and if that's their attitude

00:13:41.720 you can expect more of the same as we head into 2026 in the meantime mark carney made a post

00:13:49.780 regarding methane emissions in canada and here it is methane emissions are responsible for about 30

00:13:55.400 percent of the global rise in temperature to date canada's new government is taking action to reduce

00:14:02.060 those emissions to cut pollution fight climate change and protect canadians all right so that's

00:14:06.620 a post from mark carney december the 20th on x now this guy up here chris martz he is an actual

00:14:15.020 meteorologist here you can see in his bio meteorologist science policy analyst

00:14:20.020 politically incorrect luke warmer the anti-gretta thunberg

00:14:24.120 so what does he say well that number is mostly made up

00:14:29.020 an actual climate scientist we don't actually know how much of the warming is attributable

00:14:38.560 to methane because that figure is derived from computer models which are fudged to agree with

00:14:43.560 temperature observations via arbitrary parameter adjustments either way canada's ch4 emissions

00:14:49.520 only account for 1.2 percent of the global total in other words canada could disappear off the map

00:14:56.300 today and it would have negligible effect on the climate system this action is just a power grab

00:15:02.720 that'll continue raising the cost of living and of course the classic ratio underneath now this is

00:15:09.420 the one guys that i was talking about at the beginning of the show andrew lawton is a conservative

00:15:17.680 mp from london ontario and he says he's been fighting c8 and c9 in committee for the past

00:15:23.940 couple of months now and doing a pretty good job of it he says c9 was just the tip of the iceberg

00:15:29.160 this is our justice minister fraser sean fraser and we have a headline from the hill times

00:15:37.120 ottawa set to revive online harms legislation in 2026 from a government source who did not

00:15:44.060 want to be identified so we go to the hill times here this is a paywall so i can't get in but i

00:15:48.920 can give you at least the first paragraph. And this is really all we need. Justice Minister

00:15:56.340 Sean Frazier had previously suggested the government wouldn't copy and paste Bill C-63,

00:16:01.520 the former Bill C-63 that died on the order paper when the election was called last year.

00:16:07.440 It's formerly known as the Online Harms Act. So it's going to come back with a different bill

00:16:12.700 number and a different name, but we'll know it the second we see it. But child protection advocates

00:16:17.820 remained hopeful the liberals would bring forward

00:16:19.840 a new online safety law.

00:16:22.360 Hmm. Interesting.

00:16:24.780 So, child

00:16:25.980 safety advocates, those

00:16:27.580 kids, this is the whole reason for this

00:16:29.960 bill, the liberals say.

00:16:31.800 The kids that are in danger

00:16:34.080 online need the government's

00:16:36.240 protection.

00:16:38.820 What about their parents?

00:16:41.760 And,

00:16:42.400 if their parents

00:16:44.100 aren't there, the parents could leave them with

00:16:46.020 a message, and here it is.

00:16:47.820 If somebody is bullying you online, then log out.

00:16:53.000 It's that simple.

00:16:54.740 You don't need to worry about it anymore.

00:16:59.520 Here's constitutional lawyer Joanna Barron,

00:17:02.820 when C63 was still a-going concern about a year and a half ago

00:17:06.120 in committee on Parliament Hill.

00:17:08.560 Thank you for the opportunity to present before this committee.

00:17:11.580 I represent the Canadian Constitution Foundation,

00:17:14.700 which is a national legal charity that defends fundamental freedoms

00:17:17.680 and we view this Bill, C-63, as posing a grave threat to all Canadians' right to free speech and a flourishing democracy.

00:17:26.360 We welcome the Minister's announcement that he intends to split the Bill, Parts 1 and 4 of the Bill,

00:17:32.040 but we remain concerned about the constitutionality of aspects of Part 1, as well as Parts 2 and 3 in their entirety.

00:17:40.160 First, I'll address portions of the Bill that expand sanctions for offences related to hate speech,

00:17:46.360 including harmful content and content that fements hatred.

00:17:50.360 I am referring both to the mandate on the new digital safety commissioner,

00:17:54.360 which is created in part one of the bill,

00:17:56.360 as well as the expanded penalties for hate crimes in part two.

00:18:00.360 Part one of the bill imposes obligations on an operator to implement measures

00:18:05.360 that are adequate to mitigate the risk that users will be exposed to harmful content.

00:18:10.360 This includes content that fements hatred.

00:18:13.360 This office will cost around $200 million over five years and impose fines up to the millions of dollars on platforms.

00:18:21.360 Part 2 of the bill, meanwhile, increases penalties for existing hate crimes, including promoting genocide, now punishable up to life.

00:18:30.360 It also creates a new stand-alone offence for any federal offence motivated by hatred, Section 320, which is also now punishable up to life.

00:18:39.360 life. Now as the previous witness mentioned, and I agree with many of his

00:18:43.840 comments, this is an inherently subjective concept, hate speech. These

00:18:48.420 expanded penalties and regulatory obligations pose a risk of gross

00:18:53.280 proportionality and excessive chill of protected expression. In Watcott, the

00:18:58.800 Supreme Court of Canada said that hatred encompasses only the most extreme

00:19:03.520 manifestations captured by the words detestation and vilification. Only that

00:19:09.120 type of speech can be penalized without violating the Charter. C63 adopts this

00:19:14.640 language in section 319.7, hatred means the emotion that involves detestation or

00:19:20.640 vilification. But detestation is really just a synonym for hate and vilification

00:19:26.820 is a highly subjective concept. We are in a present moment of passionate and

00:19:32.040 often fraught disagreement in our society where a lot of claims are made

00:19:35.940 that are understood differently depending on context. For example, calling someone a Zionist

00:19:41.380 presently may land as vilification, or more dubiously, promotion of genocide, or as praise,

00:19:47.860 depending on the speaker and the audience. Just a few days ago, a former CBC producer,

00:19:53.380 Shanaz Karmali, accused MP Kevin Wong of hateful expression for posing with an individual wearing

00:20:00.420 an F Hamas sweatshirt on social media. That's the problem with criminalizing language. It's

00:20:06.740 subjective. It shifts depending on context. And these concerns become pressing with the expanded

00:20:13.060 sanctions proposed in part two. Even if our judges can be relied upon to respect principles of

00:20:19.140 proportionality when sentencing an offender under 320, for example, the range of available sentences

00:20:25.800 in the law will now include life imprisonment. So it's not a frivolous possibility that prosecutors

00:20:31.600 can refer judges to a range of sentencing up to life imprisonment for a crime such as vandalism

00:20:38.080 if it is alleged that the crime was motivated by hate. So the reality is that it's virtually

00:20:43.960 impossible to identify in advance predictably a line that separates the merely awful but lawful

00:20:50.500 from criminal hate speech. And this lack of clarity poses an urgent threat to

00:20:56.320 online discourse which is our current town square and should brook this type

00:21:01.000 of passionate adversarial disagreement. When these types of sanctions are in

00:21:05.260 play, everyone has an incentive to err on the side of caution. Platforms will

00:21:09.860 flag and remove content that is actually protected expression and

00:21:14.020 individuals will self-censor. Finally, I will briefly address part three of the

00:21:19.260 bill, which brings back a civil remedy for online hate speech, which allows members of the public

00:21:24.560 to bring complaints for the Canadian Human Rights Commission. This would be disastrous,

00:21:29.340 and you should not go forward with this proposal. Even if most alleged instances are dismissed for

00:21:35.300 not meeting the threshold of hate speech, the penalties for individuals found liable, up to

00:21:41.220 $50,000 paid to the government, plus $20,000 to the victim, are severe enough that we can infer

00:21:47.800 the new regime will lead to large amounts of soft peddling of expression for fear of skirting the

00:21:54.640 line it will interfere severely with press freedom to publish controversial opinions

00:22:00.240 which are necessary to a flourishing civil society and finally process is punishment

00:22:05.840 even if the case does not proceed right so you know what they're going to do two years ago when

00:22:12.920 i started the shadow davis.com website c63 was a threat to people like me to independent right

00:22:21.880 leaning common sense minded creators like me and i'm sure you guys follow many of us on the

00:22:29.500 different platforms well just think about david creighton being deplatformed because he said

00:22:34.140 something that was hateful in the eyes of the government censor board or the same with sean

00:22:40.060 newman or the same with what's up canada wayne peters any of them any of us or all of us could

00:22:50.480 be going and so when i started that website that was to safeguard the show now c63 petered out on

00:22:59.560 his own last year but they're bringing it back and they're kind of they're gonna bring it back

00:23:04.920 harder and tougher and they're determined to pass this thing unless something upends them somehow

00:23:10.860 like they have to call an election which you never know you just never know so if you want to keep

00:23:19.420 watching the show and i've seen a few comments already in the social media good to have you back

00:23:23.960 on facebook shadow this is a one-off thing i'm going to come back and do this every now and again

00:23:28.340 on youtube and facebook and x and maybe we'll hold some x spaces as well from time to time

00:23:33.780 but the content is on telegram the shadow at night community every single weeknight at eight

00:23:39.580 o'clock central and of course on the website become an all access member at shadow davis.com

00:23:45.500 the show still exists there people are saying where'd you go still doing the show you just got

00:23:51.180 to come and be an all access member to find it now you know speaking of content hate speech

00:23:57.700 you know what they've been doing in the uk they have been arresting people for what they've said

00:24:04.480 online they've done it in england they're doing it in the eu all over the eu as a matter of fact

00:24:11.760 there are tens of thousands of cases of arrests of people for posting online something that is

00:24:18.260 considered hateful by the uk government here's a clip of tucker carlson and piers morgan talking

00:24:25.840 about just that. And Piers Morgan backpedaling. He's scared to say a word that Tucker challenges

00:24:33.360 him to say. Watch this. Texts and describes the man who beat her up, sent her to the hospital,

00:24:39.240 as a quote, she's arrested and convicted of a hate crime. The guy who beat her up is not arrested

00:24:46.220 or convicted. By the way, you're allowed to be homophobic if you want in a free country. You can

00:24:49.800 have any view you want. But no, because she used the word she's arrested. And the guy who punched

00:24:54.220 in the face was not that story tells you everything well i don't know that story would

00:24:59.980 you say the word on camera no why you don't want to get arrested do you doesn't want to be arrested

00:25:06.860 oh because it's so harmful to people actually my whole issue with the whole trans debate for

00:25:11.500 example is you don't need to say drogatory stuff about trans people to make the point

00:25:15.100 that women's rights should be protected well i agree so so what yeah i don't believe it's a magic

00:25:19.260 word i don't believe in needlessly smear i'm not smearing anybody i just think what would

00:25:23.980 you use that word yeah i just did okay but but why and i'm using it because you're not allowed

00:25:30.300 to because you're allowed to go ahead this chick just got arrested for it and convicted

00:25:36.540 they're making me want to say that because it's so outrageous that you would arrest someone for a

00:25:44.300 word i agree well then help me now let's let's do let's let's have a moment of self-liberation

00:25:49.940 hold my hand hold my hand we're gonna say together you ready no we're not do you say

00:25:54.920 gay and do you say gay and i wouldn't use the r word what's the r word i don't know what the r

00:26:04.560 word is careful if you write it in the comments you might get arrested well not yet there's no

00:26:10.780 new c63 yet so i think you're safe then again facebook might look at it as a problem as some

00:26:17.540 kind of a derogatory comment then again i don't think they would because you're not directing it

00:26:21.700 at any one person or group you're just putting a word down or maybe you're not scared to lose

00:26:29.540 your facebook profile whatever i'm just curious as to what the word is so yeah guys i mean this

00:26:36.340 is coming down this is coming down hard by the way if you want the audio version of the show

00:26:42.340 i upload that every single night to substack and to spotify just look for the shadow davis show on

00:26:47.680 either one of those two platforms it's the audio only version of the show you get that for free

00:26:52.520 all you got to do is go get it and please give me a follow on either one of those two platforms

00:26:57.020 if you don't mind that would be awesome thank you very much what else have we got for you guys

00:27:02.100 tonight quickly. U.S. economy booms as Canada falls behind. Well, that's not shocking. This is

00:27:09.160 from Juno News. America posts one of its strongest growth quarters since 2023. Well, Canada's economy

00:27:15.380 contracts amid manufacturing weakness and higher grocery prices. Now, the elbows up crowd, as you

00:27:20.520 know, would blame this on Donald Trump and his war on Canada. This is not a war on Canada. This

00:27:28.000 is simply donald trump doing the best he can for his own people and screw everybody else he doesn't

00:27:34.240 care it's not like he's directing his ire right at canadians he doesn't care he wants the jobs

00:27:41.760 down there he wants the people down there making the money that's it that's all it is and mark

00:27:49.740 carney hasn't quite figured that out yet or he's on a whole other agenda as a matter of fact he

00:27:57.220 appointed a new ambassador to the U.S. today. Wait till you find out who it is. The U.S. and

00:28:01.900 Canadian economies are moving in sharply different directions. New U.S. data shows the American

00:28:06.360 economy grew at a blistering. This is a huge 4.3 percent in the third quarter, far exceeding

00:28:13.080 expectations. Consumer spending surged and private sector job growth remained strong,

00:28:17.800 even as government payrolls declined. The combination economists credit for driving

00:28:22.580 the expansion. Canada, by contrast, is contracting. StatsCan reports the economy shrank 0.3% in

00:28:31.800 October, the largest monthly decline in nearly three years. Driven by weakness in manufacturing,

00:28:37.620 rising costs, grocery prices remain elevated, and Canada's per capita economic growth

00:28:42.520 since 2016 now ranks among the worst in the G7. The widening gap comes as trade tensions with the

00:28:50.000 U.S. remain unresolved. Senator John Kennedy urged Mark Carney to eliminate tariffs on American

00:28:55.040 goods and challenged Washington to do the same, arguing that zero tariffs would immediately end

00:28:59.300 the dispute. Ottawa show no willingness to budge. The Carney government has ruled out changes to

00:29:04.600 supply management. That's a mistake, including dairy protections. Imagine the price of dairy

00:29:10.640 in this country if they got rid of that cartel.

00:29:15.100 but they said no we're not getting rid of supply management that's no

00:29:20.980 this signals it will not repeal canada's online streaming regulations either which is something

00:29:28.360 trump wants us to do both key u.s demands ahead of 2026 trade negotiations with the u.s economy

00:29:35.860 accelerating and canada sliding towards stagnation many fear ottawa's heading into high stakes trade

00:29:40.780 talks from a position of growing weakness you think so crime is still a problem this is video

00:29:49.820 from a mall in surrey from yesterday in case you're not following what happened here

00:30:04.200 and for those listening on audio this is the food court of a mall in surrey and this dude

00:30:11.580 in the orange hoodie just jumped the counter at that kfc there just jumped it now what

00:30:17.540 Oh

00:30:41.260 yeah what you want what you want i got you what you need what you need what you need

00:30:48.700 i got you i got you

00:30:51.020 nobody is jumping in to stop these asshats from doing any of this nobody they're getting some

00:31:05.040 good video but nobody is and look at them they're little guys i mean this guy here with

00:31:10.760 the beard behind him could probably jump in and stop them but no I got you you want a bag or no

00:31:25.640 bag go back I got you I got you I got you I got you pay for it

00:31:40.760 He's jumping at the end of the fight.

00:31:43.200 Go to hell, bro.

00:31:44.200 No, we just got, can you help me?

00:31:46.060 Can you help me?

00:31:46.900 Go to hell.

00:31:48.440 What the hell?

00:31:49.360 Go to hell.

00:31:50.200 Go to hell right here.

00:31:53.200 Come here out, go right here.

00:32:00.120 Yo, they got you, nigga.

00:32:03.120 Nigga, what'd you get, what'd you get, fries?

00:32:04.780 Yes.

00:32:05.620 Nigga, I actually got poutine.

00:32:08.360 She's flat.

00:32:09.180 She's coming, she's coming.

00:32:10.760 it's a new canada we live in obviously and if we don't like it we're racists and extremists

00:32:19.540 and bigots of course immigration still a problem jobs especially for young people are still a

00:32:30.820 problem here's a great report from rebel news is tamara ugolini miss miracle for tim horton's

00:32:35.900 employees in grimsby ontario after they were threatened with losing their jobs right before

00:32:40.860 the holidays only for the company to suddenly backpedal following massive public backlash

00:32:47.180 it seems like tim hortons corporate is feeling the heat

00:32:53.580 god not till 7 30 go back to bed tim hortons coffee lovers can't wait to open our collector mug

00:33:00.220 tim hortons is a brand that loves to wrap itself in the canadian flag it's a cozy small town vibe

00:33:05.500 with the double-double that supposedly brings us all together. But the last few years, that image

00:33:10.360 has been cracking wide open, and Canadians are starting to push back pretty hard. Let me read

00:33:15.940 you this absolutely gut-wrenching post from one of the workers at the Grimsby, Ontario Tim Hortons.

00:33:21.340 The double-drive through Tim Hortons' store by the high school has been sold to the guy who bought

00:33:25.000 out the other three locations in Grimsby. We, the staff, were told that we were all being let go.

00:33:31.100 imagine right before Christmas he fired everyone with the exception of five part-time people that

00:33:38.580 have been there for less than a year. Some of us have worked at this store for 10, 15, even 20 plus

00:33:44.860 years. We've grown up with you. We know our regulars' orders. We were a family or at least

00:33:51.280 they thought they were. The employees were told they were getting fired so that they could bring

00:33:55.400 in people to pay them less slash the government can give the owner incentives for hiring abroad

00:34:02.680 the post highlights how the job market is horrible and calls for a boycott of all four

00:34:08.600 tim horton's locations to hit the owner where it hurts his wallet this exposes the deeper rot in

00:34:15.000 canada's temporary foreign worker program where labor market impact assessments are being exploited

00:34:20.520 to flood the market with cheap foreign labour, often backed by government incentives at the

00:34:25.880 direct expense of Canadian workers. Tim Hortons corporate sees Canada's unprecedented immigration

00:34:31.620 influx that dwarfs historical averages as an opportunity, you see. But the public exploded

00:34:37.940 when this hit and social media lit up. Even the local Conservative MP Dean Allison called Tim

00:34:44.380 Hortons out publicly on X, asking if they were firing all Canadian workers right before Christmas.

00:34:50.520 And suddenly, Tim Hortons Corporate rushes out this statement.

00:34:55.540 Let me read it to you because it seems like a masterclass in damage control.

00:35:00.980 We have a Tim Hortons franchisee in Grimsby, Ontario, who is planning to retire.

00:35:06.240 Following discussions between the two franchisees,

00:35:09.520 existing team members were told that their employment would end with the sale.

00:35:14.700 We believe this is a bad outcome.

00:35:16.660 The selling franchisee has apologized and provided letters today

00:35:20.860 that reconfirm their continued employment.

00:35:24.660 Assuming the sale goes through, the buying franchisee has committed

00:35:27.980 that he will maintain the employment of all the existing team members.

00:35:33.960 Oh, really?

00:35:34.960 They believe that this was a bad outcome only after the backlash hit,

00:35:40.000 after Christmas firings made headlines in the Toronto Sun,

00:35:43.940 after Canadians said, enough is enough.

00:35:46.660 it seems more like a forced backpedal because the heat was on the original plan was clear clean house

00:35:53.700 and bring in cheaper temporary foreign workers and let's be real here we have seen this playbook

00:36:00.420 before similar stories popping up across canada with tim horton's franchisees just like the ones

00:36:07.060 i covered in coburg and picton alike one of the managers she explained to me because they are

00:36:12.260 cheaper to hire after what do you mean because the government pay a little bit for their wages

00:36:19.940 so it's easier for the owners she asked if she wanted an indian boyfriend and she said well

00:36:26.180 i'm only 17. i heard i could make 20 000 if i wanted to marry the manager's brother here

00:36:32.020 can i start that process just because your boss doesn't like the fact that an independent

00:36:38.180 journalist is in here video reporting that's not up to him she has the right to do that when i

00:36:44.180 pressed tim hortons previously in those reports for their response to all of these allegations

00:36:48.820 they accused me of making very serious allegations yes of course without supporting evidence they

00:36:54.980 warned that publishing inaccuracies could be considered liable they requested full access

00:37:00.340 to all of my investigative material to respond which is an absurd demand in routine media

00:37:05.860 inquiries instead corporate offered only a generic statement praising franchisees and once again

00:37:11.940 requested my evidence this is the same evasive playbook we've seen before deflect delay and dodge

00:37:18.420 accountability while loyal canadian workers get sidelined for cheaper foreign replacements but

00:37:24.500 canadians aren't buying it anymore the backlash not only forced a reversal in grimsby but exposed

00:37:30.260 how deep the rot is in big corporations like tim hortons gaming the system for profit we know that

00:37:37.300 tim hortons has been aggressively lobbying the government as recently as october of 2025 for

00:37:43.300 more access to temporary foreign workers even pushing to raise the cap higher despite ottawa

00:37:49.140 tightening it back to 10 meanwhile canadian youth unemployment is skyrocketing with teens hit hard

00:37:55.700 as the very entry-level jobs that once gave our kids their first paycheck and work experience

00:38:02.020 are disappearing to foreign replacements. These are the jobs that teach responsibility and build

00:38:08.240 resumes, but corporate giants like Tim Hortons push for more foreign workers and international

00:38:14.520 students while firing Canadians. They claim it's about labour shortages, but it seems more like

00:38:21.120 it's about their bottom line. Sadly, Tim Hortons isn't some mom-and-pop shop anymore. It's owned

00:38:27.280 by a massive international corporation. They market Canadian pride, but when it comes to

00:38:33.760 the workers, loyalty seems to go out the window for greed. Canadians saved these jobs for now,

00:38:41.520 with their outrage. But this is bigger than Crimsby. It's a warning about how the temporary

00:38:46.720 foreign worker program is being abused, displacing Canadians while youth struggle to get a foot in

00:38:54.040 the door. So yes, the workers in Grimsby, they got a Christmas miracle, but only because Canadians

00:39:01.180 caught the Tim Hortons Grinch mid-steel. The jobs were saved for now, not because corporate found

00:39:09.160 its heart, but because the public caught them red-handed and said, not this time.

00:39:16.720 okay so did she mention did she mention the young people's unemployment rate in canada

00:39:25.540 i'm hearing numbers like 20 percent

00:39:28.580 that's pretty freaking high for kids who want to work we used to be able to go out and and find

00:39:37.580 jobs at department stores but what department stores now right we used to be able to go find

00:39:43.000 jobs at fast food restaurants but we can't do that anymore because temporary foreign workers

00:39:47.480 have got them all i mean walk into a tim hortons you understand exactly what i'm talking about

00:39:52.380 walk into a 7-eleven same thing walk into any store anywhere

00:39:58.400 it's the same thing so what are these kids doing they're living in their parents basement

00:40:04.760 are they getting allowance still at the age of 18 19 are they going to school

00:40:09.140 on mom and dad's dime they're getting used to living life without ever having to earn

00:40:15.780 anything and pretty soon canada is going to try and push universal basic income this is bill

00:40:23.660 s 206 this is a bill from the senate which has already reached second reading and is now in

00:40:32.280 second committee and could pass as early as february or march depending on the situation

00:40:37.680 in the House of Commons in the Senate.

00:40:41.220 And that's a framework for UBI.

00:40:44.680 That's not, they're instituting it right away.

00:40:46.820 That's just to institute the framework for UBI,

00:40:49.480 which means more government jobs.

00:40:53.140 Another government department.

00:40:56.200 But if they're able to bring in UBI, that's it.

00:41:01.440 This country is finished. It's over.

00:41:03.860 because now you're locked to the government for money and food and everything.

00:41:12.080 And they're going to say digital ID or no UBI.

00:41:15.780 Oh, yeah, I'm down for that.

00:41:17.700 I just want to play video games and eat potato chips in my mom's basement, man.

00:41:21.620 This is good for me.

00:41:22.700 I can buy a couple new games next week.

00:41:24.620 s 206 is the bill a framework to implement universal basic income in canada what else

00:41:34.900 oh yes i mentioned this earlier from the bbc mark carney is named ex-blackrock executive

00:41:41.040 as the new u.s ambassador this guy was also one of the founders of the century initiative the

00:41:47.680 movement to bring canada's population to 100 million by the turn of the century there he is

00:41:53.640 there. Healthy looking man, his name is Mark Wiseman. He's been in Mark Carney's inner circle

00:42:00.280 for many years now. Wiseman is an experienced investment manager, takes on the task as Canada

00:42:07.460 works to reset its strained relations with the U.S. while preparing for a tense review of the

00:42:12.580 current free trade deal, KUSMA, or the USMCA, as they call it in the United States. I prefer USMCA.

00:42:22.280 His appointment follows current ambassador Kirsten Hillman's announcement

00:42:25.160 that she would be ending her tenure in Washington

00:42:27.200 because she can't get anything done down there as far as trade goes.

00:42:34.020 Carney said Wiseman brings immense experience, extensive contacts,

00:42:37.220 and deep commitment to the Post at a crucial time of transformation

00:42:41.340 for Canada and the United States.

00:42:43.640 As a core member of our negotiating team,

00:42:45.700 he'll help advance the interests of Canadian workers, businesses, and institutions.

00:42:49.760 He's done nothing so far, nothing!

00:42:51.540 our economy is in the toilet and the americans are booming this is funny

00:42:57.780 so for that failure here's a promotion mark wiseman congratulations on a job poorly done

00:43:05.960 well building opportunities for both canada and the united states

00:43:11.860 carney said in a statement yesterday the new ambassador is set to take on the role

00:43:16.960 mid-February, Carney added.

00:43:19.460 Okay, here's the give, send, go.

00:43:20.840 I put this in the comments on Facebook and YouTube

00:43:23.380 and on X, I believe.

00:43:25.340 Support Mark's journey.

00:43:26.920 Keep the family afloat.

00:43:28.080 As I mentioned, our friend Mark Friesen

00:43:30.720 has got frontal lobe dementia.

00:43:36.540 This great man can no longer express himself.

00:43:40.940 there are days where he's better than other days his wife jan says

00:43:49.860 um he's confused a lot of the time he's frustrated a lot of the time which makes him angry

00:43:57.740 so jan says in in the description here ai tried changing my description into a tearjerker story

00:44:06.840 that's going to tug on your heartstrings.

00:44:09.460 I don't believe in trying to make things

00:44:10.900 sound super emotional.

00:44:12.220 Well, this is.

00:44:13.820 I think sticking to facts

00:44:15.200 and speaking from the heart

00:44:16.220 is the most important.

00:44:17.200 So here's my description

00:44:18.140 for this Give, Send, Go.

00:44:19.640 You guys can go there

00:44:20.500 and put it in the comments, like I said.

00:44:22.920 And if you have the means,

00:44:24.420 if you have the will,

00:44:25.840 you want to support this guy, man.

00:44:27.120 He's done so much for us.

00:44:28.460 He's educated us so much.

00:44:29.940 And he and I have had

00:44:31.180 some fantastic debates.

00:44:33.700 Politically, we did not see eye to eye.

00:44:36.240 But what does that mean? We both understand what's going on in the world. And I want to thank Mark for being one of the major influences on that for me. He opened my eyes. I did my own research. And there it was right in front of my face. And that was probably four or five years ago. The show has been on just over five years.

00:44:55.980 Here is a petition, a parliamentary petition, initiated by George Williams from Glencoe, Ontario.

00:45:04.240 And who's the sponsor of this petition?

00:45:07.760 I think it's a member.

00:45:08.860 Yeah, Leanne Rood from Middlesex, London, Conservative Caucus, Ontario.

00:45:13.660 Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled.

00:45:16.100 Whereas in Canada's parliamentary system, MPs are elected to represent their constituents under a party banner,

00:45:22.160 but unrestricted floor crossing can erode voter trust amid rising political corruption and

00:45:27.180 scandals. Recent crossings, such as those by conservative MPs to the Liberals, have occurred

00:45:32.020 without the original party straying from its platform, raising concerns of opportunism over

00:45:37.780 principle. Voters deserve immediate accountability when an MP switches to another party midterm,

00:45:44.820 potentially altering Parliament's balance without endorsement and allowing MPs to sit as

00:45:50.280 independence preserves conscience without triggering elections, but joining another

00:45:54.240 party should require voter confirmation. We, the undersigned citizens and residents of Canada,

00:46:01.400 call upon the House of Commons to amend the Parliament of Canada Act to require that any

00:46:05.160 member of Parliament who crosses the floor to join another registered political party must vacate

00:46:09.480 their seat and trigger a by-election in their riding while permitting them to sit as an independent

00:46:14.820 without such a requirement.

00:46:17.200 So there you have it.

00:46:18.600 You can go ahead and find that

00:46:19.780 at rcommons.ca.

00:46:22.580 NDP campaign review,

00:46:24.680 their final review

00:46:27.160 of their brutal election campaign this year.

00:46:32.760 Oh, by the way,

00:46:33.840 they still believe in all of their woke policies.

00:46:36.900 I read the review earlier today.

00:46:39.240 It's like 22 pages.

00:46:41.000 Not only do they still believe

00:46:42.660 in all their woke policies,

00:46:44.080 but now they feel as though they're the party that owns these policies and they're going to

00:46:49.300 double down going forward after their worst ever worst ever election result six seats
