00:16:41.240we're already in this position you know we see it in schools over and over again and um yeah
00:16:48.300it's it we have to stand up at some point right so it and we have to do it soon well you know
00:16:55.200the interesting thing too is for years i mean i've had trans friends right and and i thought
00:17:01.660it was strange but i went along with what they were doing because you know whatever makes you
00:17:07.060happy whatever floats your boat i don't care it doesn't personally affect me it wasn't affecting
00:17:12.440anybody i know and love so you go ahead and have a good time with your life it doesn't matter to me
00:17:16.960but as you said earlier now it seems as though if you don't just not just accept it but if you
00:17:23.320don't celebrate it and stand on the rooftop shouting i love trans people then you're a bigot
00:17:29.460and heaven forbid you should have an opinion against it so uh has there been any fallout
00:17:35.300any loss of business in your business at all or have the troops started to rally now um there has
00:17:41.340been some there's been some fallout a staff member left over it okay and a you know i've seen as i
00:17:48.160was checking on twitter here and there there was um there were customers that i had recognized that
00:17:53.600you know we're we're jumping on that cart and i was like okay well go for it that's okay um
00:17:59.300at least i know what i can and cannot say when i'm around you but um but yeah no no no no no no
00:18:05.960no no no feel free to say whatever you want to say whatever you want to say it right true now
00:18:11.880at the same time we don't want to go around you know offending people for offending's sake
00:18:17.100no right i mean there's a time and a place yeah and and when it comes to you know my business and
00:18:22.720my customers i keep politics out of it it you know it's never entered into my business i try
00:18:28.600I can keep it out of it just because it's, you know, I'm more comfortable with that.
00:18:32.200But this just, I mean, this dragged me right into it.
00:18:34.960And so there was some fallout for sure.
00:18:38.140And of course, there's all sorts of reviews that I can't get rid of on Facebook and Google.
00:18:44.240And I mean, there are people that have never even shopped at my store.
00:18:47.280They're probably trolls, but still, they know how to work that, right?
00:18:50.920And they know that you can't get that stuff off of there very easily.
00:18:53.500so what you can do Ariel is you can drown them out with a louder wave which is what we're about
00:19:00.340to do here with you yes please continue yeah so I mean that would be amazing um and then you know
00:19:07.760the troops started to rally around and I got a lot of messages um friends and family going holy
00:19:14.680smokes like did you see what this person just said about you and I don't even know who they are and
00:19:19.300I'm thinking, well, yeah, okay. And there, you know, and then people started to fight back a
00:19:23.480little bit. And then I felt like I was standing in the middle of a storm. And, you know, it was
00:19:28.340just a big, you know, people fighting every which way. And I just sort of thought, holy crap, I said
00:19:34.000one thing, just one statement that I believe in. And that is true. You know, I feel I have to say,
00:19:42.140I feel terrible for the women who are up for rewards at this, because, you know, it's gotten
00:19:47.960to a point where if they go to it then they're supporting the ywca's choice but if they don't go
00:19:54.360to it then they're losing out on the opportunity of being that keynote speaker or of um of receiving
00:20:00.520that award and getting that you know you know that dignity it's just i i feel so badly for them
00:20:06.920do you think it's time that maybe we look past all of this stuff and and you know people will
00:20:11.720strive their entire lives to win an award and and whatnot but if if they're going to do this
00:20:17.440then what does that award really mean that's true that's true and now that's the other part of it
00:20:23.400there were there were actually quite a few women who came into the shop um after this all went down
00:20:27.840and said we're up for awards and we're not going because it just it doesn't mean anything at this
00:20:31.400point i'm you know no thanks i don't want that well maybe that's what it is is a full-on boycott
00:20:37.200Yeah. We continue to create our own society here, our parallel society in which we don't agree with things that are blatantly wrong. I mean, this is biologically impossible. A man cannot become a woman. A woman cannot become a man. They can go ahead and think that and they can walk around in dresses or they can walk around. You know, a woman can walk around trying to look like a man. But ultimately on the inside, your body is what it is. And that's all there is to it.
00:21:05.120Your statement said, bringing in a man to celebrate women, YWCA, do better.
00:21:13.720Do you regret anything about that at all?
00:21:35.120Yeah, I did. I thought about it because I had lots of people suggest, I think you should apologize. I think you should take the post down. And it didn't feel right. And I thought, well, maybe I'll give it a couple days and see if it feels right then. And it still doesn't feel right. There's nothing that I said that was hurtful or insulting. As far as I'm concerned, it's not. And it wasn't meant to be.
00:22:00.880So if someone takes insult to it, that's up to them.
00:22:04.360You know, we can't keep we can't keep wandering around with these kid gloves, just, you know, praying that we're not going to insult somebody.
00:43:10.920They honored out an award for my arrest for our involvement in a beautiful, peaceful, wonderful convoy that gave so many Canadian folk and joy.
00:43:25.520Now, I'll head back in. The sergeant did say it. It's just me as allowed in there.
00:43:32.160And that's understandable. They're trying to do a job, which is not easy for them, I'm sure, either.
00:43:39.020and hopefully it doesn't take too long.
00:43:41.740I don't want to miss the Leafs game tonight
00:43:44.520and for sure I do not want to miss my daughter
00:43:47.480doing her confession of faith in church.
00:46:19.360I'm sorry, but I am all for inclusiveness.
00:46:23.080And to me, inclusiveness means, look, if you want to do this, go ahead and do this.
00:46:31.040I have absolutely no problem with you wanting to wear a dress, whatever.
00:46:37.760Just don't think that you're going to be going into the women's bathroom because you're not a woman.
00:46:43.540And my wife's going to be going in there or my daughter's going to be going in there and I don't want you there.
00:46:48.960and the same goes with change rooms in in gyms locker rooms whatever no we can't have that
00:46:57.040because we know we know there are going to be people perverts who try to take advantage of this
00:47:03.080we just know that it's already happened it's probably happened a lot more than we even know it
00:47:11.760and so now that they're trying to jam it down our throats and get us not just to accept but
00:47:18.540to celebrate. And if we don't, we're bigots. I'm sorry, that's where I draw the line. And I also
00:47:23.800draw the line with them trying to sexualize our children in schools and libraries. This needs to
00:47:30.780stop. Of course, our kids should feel comfortable coming to us as parents and grandparents to talk
00:47:38.520about this kind of thing. They should. And we should give them the answers that we can give
00:47:45.260them about how we feel about it that's what family is all about but they are trying to destabilize
00:47:52.140our society and the best way to do that is to destabilize the family unit and they're doing
00:47:58.280a very good job of it they did a great job of it all through covet mother against brother sister
00:48:05.620against father you're gonna get a vaccine you're not wearing a mask you're not welcome here for
00:48:11.920christmas and many of those healed or those wounds have not yet healed if they ever do i'm not sure
00:48:18.660anyway let's move on here keith woods made a post today keith woods
00:48:25.920hang on a minute let me scroll down here keith woods well he's a journalist he got banned from
00:48:35.340twitter uh from december 21st april 14th of this year and then he's back now
00:48:42.720So he is a journalist, and he says, according to the New York Times, this is the text that led to Tucker Carlson's firing due to his, it's not how white men fight comment.
00:48:54.560I'm not sure if you guys have heard this.
00:48:57.620Consider that most of the text is him trying to humanize political enemies who have targeted his house and family for harassment.
00:49:04.440But a passing comment about a positive trait of white people makes this too radioactive for Fox.
00:49:11.920so this is a message that tucker carlson sent
00:49:16.000a couple of weeks ago i was watching video of people fighting on the street in washington
00:49:23.220a group of trump supporters surrounded an antifa kid and started pounding the living
00:49:29.140shit out of him it was three against one at least jumping a guy like that is dishonorable
00:49:35.560obviously it's not how white men fight that's the comment that seems to have caused the problem
00:49:42.300yet suddenly i found myself rooting for the mob against the man hoping they'd murder him
00:49:48.100or hit him harder kill him i really wanted them to hurt the kid i could taste it
00:49:53.780then somewhere deep in my brain an alarm went off this isn't good for me i'm becoming something i
00:50:00.600don't want to be. The Antifa creep is a human being. Much as I despise what he says and does,
00:50:07.820much as I'm sure I'd hate him personally if I knew him, I shouldn't gloat over his suffering.
00:50:12.400I should be bothered by it. I should remember that somewhere somebody probably loves this kid
00:50:17.420and would be crushed if he was killed. If I don't care about those things, if I reduce people to
00:50:22.720their politics how am i better than he is now i really don't know what he meant
00:50:31.320when he says that's not how white men fight
00:50:35.820maybe it's an american racialized thing i don't know
00:50:44.060does anybody have a clue as to what he might have meant by that aside from a racist comment
