00:00:30.000 Are you tired of using bulky old wallets, giving you a bulge where you don't want it to be?
00:00:37.460 My old wallet was massive, so it brought all the ladies to the yard, 1.00
00:00:41.940 which was a huge distraction and got in the way of my esteemed work on trigonometry.
00:00:47.460 Ridge wallets have an incredible solution for you.

00:01:48.420 Hello and welcome to a very special live episode of Trigonometry.
00:01:54.380 I'm Francis Foster.
00:01:55.640 I'm Constantine Kisson.
00:01:56.820 And this is a show for you if you want honest conversations with fascinating people.
00:02:02.840 Our brilliant guest today is a Canadian lawyer who's been covering the Canadian Freedom Convoy and the trucker issue very, very well over the last few weeks.
00:02:11.620 A lot of you have asked us to bring him on.
00:02:13.760 So, please, with no further ado, welcome.
00:02:15.440 Viva Pride, David.
00:02:16.280 Good to have you.
00:02:16.860 Thanks for coming on.
00:02:17.860 Gentlemen, thank you for having me.
00:02:19.040 I consider myself to be mildly interesting, not fascinating, but thank you nonetheless.
00:02:24.100 All right.
00:02:24.440 Well, we'll see what we can do about that.
00:02:26.100 Before we get cracking, a little bit of housekeeping for everybody watching and listening.
00:02:30.400 We're going to do about 45 minutes to 50 minutes with David.
00:02:33.640 We're going to have a great conversation about what's been happening.
00:02:36.380 And then there will be an opportunity for you guys to submit your questions.
00:02:40.060 If you want to do that, the best way to do it is send a super chat or send a PayPal.
00:02:44.940 The links are in the description and they'll be appearing in the chat as well.
00:02:47.680 I'll put you on my phone, Constantine.
00:02:50.100 My mic is on.
00:02:51.980 All right.
00:02:52.900 Okay.
00:02:54.180 You haven't been able to hear us for the last minute.
00:02:56.280 Okay.
00:02:56.680 We heard it was just softer than Francis.
00:02:58.520 It was just softer.
00:02:59.460 It wasn't the usual Francis voice.
00:03:01.000 So, what I'm saying is if you want to submit a question for David as we talk, there will be an opportunity to do that.
00:03:06.640 The way to do that is through the super chats or the PayPals.
00:03:10.060 And it is not an episode of Trigonometry, David, if we haven't fucked something up technologically before we start.
00:03:15.420 So, we're good to go.
00:03:17.180 All right.
00:03:17.480 Well, here we go.
00:03:18.200 Let's start the conversation.
00:03:19.780 So, David, the question we always ask our guests in the very first one is, who are you?
00:03:24.480 What has been your journey through life?
00:03:25.960 But the third part of that question is, how did you get involved with the truckers and the situation that's happening in Canada?
00:03:34.540 The world, life is amazingly bizarre.
00:03:37.480 Kierkegaard said it can only be understood backwards, but has to be lived forwards.
00:03:41.780 Montrealer, born and raised, youngest of five kids.
00:03:45.560 My father is a lawyer.
00:03:47.160 My second oldest brother is a lawyer.
00:03:49.320 My sister is a lawyer.
00:03:50.380 My other brother is a lawyer.
00:03:51.520 I'm a lawyer.
00:03:52.160 Are you Jewish?
00:03:52.900 I am Jewish as well.
00:03:53.940 That makes sense.
00:03:55.880 It was either you go into law or you go into medicine.
00:03:58.980 And, you know, I was too late to jump back on the science wagon.
00:04:02.480 So, I went into law.
00:04:04.680 Born and raised.
00:04:05.680 Studied philosophy at McGill.
00:04:07.640 Always had a thing about videography.
00:04:09.600 Always loved making videos.
00:04:10.760 When we were kids, we had, you know, the VHS camcorder on the shoulders.
00:04:14.580 We would make videos on the weekend.
00:04:16.940 It's something called CEJEP.
00:04:18.360 In between high school and university, I did fine arts.
00:04:22.220 Studied philosophy.
00:04:22.940 But then you have to go out and get a professional degree and get a job.
00:04:26.380 So, I went to a law school in French in Quebec City.
00:04:30.620 Got my law degree.
00:04:32.020 Got a job at a big law firm.
00:04:33.760 Worked there for, you ever take five years as a student, stagiaire, young lawyer.
00:04:38.140 Had my first kid.
00:04:39.460 Said, I don't like this lifestyle.
00:04:41.040 I don't like the practice of law all that much.
00:04:43.800 I quit on a Friday afternoon.
00:04:45.860 Said, I'm going to go back to photography at Dawson College.
00:04:48.960 And get my commercial photography degree.
00:04:51.040 Before I could even apply, ultimately, you know, didn't get in.
00:04:54.920 I started getting calls for people who needed a lawyer.
00:04:57.700 I was like, okay, I can do some work.
00:04:59.140 By the end of the summer, I had more work than I knew what to do with.
00:05:01.860 And then I started my own solo practice.
00:05:03.500 Which, over the next seven years, built up into a nice boutique litigation firm.
00:05:07.600 But, lo and behold, seven years later, I did not like the practice of law anymore.
00:05:12.420 Anymore than I did at any point in my life.
00:05:14.960 And then, in the interim, I discovered YouTube.
00:05:17.520 I got a GoPro for Christmas in February 2014.
00:05:20.380 Started making videos.
00:05:21.660 And started, you know, getting back into the childhood passion of making videos.
00:05:25.600 Long story short, one video went viral once upon a time.
00:05:28.660 I learned about viral videography, video licensing.
00:05:30.920 And then, it all just merged together where I took video editing, content creation.
00:05:36.340 And merged it with my expertise, 13 plus years as a commercial litigator.
00:05:40.180 And started doing legal analysis on current events.
00:05:43.560 How I got a trucker thing.
00:05:45.820 I'm sitting there.
00:05:46.760 The channel was a big enough channel beforehand.
00:05:49.140 I was covering law.
00:05:50.600 Did the impeachment.
00:05:51.540 Did the Rittenhouse trial.
00:05:53.020 Alec Baldwin.
00:05:53.660 All these current events.
00:05:54.860 Legal stuff.
00:05:56.140 And then, I'm looking at what's happening in Ottawa.
00:05:57.880 And hearing about it through the media.
00:06:00.400 But also, from first-hand people on site.
00:06:03.200 And I'm saying, I can't reconcile the diverging stories that I'm getting.
00:06:07.560 From mainstream Canadian media.
00:06:09.640 CBC.
00:06:10.200 CTV. 0.83
00:06:10.860 A racist, xenophobic, violent protest.
00:06:13.920 And people on the ground saying, it's nothing like this.
00:06:16.800 So, I go down the Monday after the protest.
00:06:19.060 Just to live stream.
00:06:20.440 I said, I'm going to live stream for as long as my battery lasts.
00:06:23.400 If I see Nazi flags, the world will see it. 0.83
00:06:26.220 If I see Confederate flags, the world will see it.
00:06:28.600 If we see violence, vandalism, the world will see it in real time.
00:06:32.220 And the world saw what was happening in real time.
00:06:34.800 And it wasn't anything like that.
00:06:36.580 And I just said, I'm going to go back every day.
00:06:38.380 Document this.
00:06:39.040 So, the world can see the degree to which media and politicians are lying to Canadians.
00:06:44.300 To demonize this protest.
00:06:46.820 For reasons which, in retrospect now, we can totally understand why they did it.
00:06:50.680 And that entire movement blew up into something of an international movement.
00:06:55.460 And it was phenomenal to watch it happen in real time.
00:06:59.000 Because a lot of people really just got awakened to the fact that we are being lied to in our faces,
00:07:05.720 remorselessly, by this vortex of fake...
00:07:09.420 I call it fake news, but just political lies.
00:07:11.340 You got the media running lies.
00:07:13.080 The politicians recycle the media lies.
00:07:15.480 The media recycles the politicians' amplification of the lies.
00:07:18.640 And that's your vortex of misinformation.
00:07:21.400 All right.
00:07:21.940 Well, let's try and diffuse some of that misinformation.
00:07:25.040 As a fellow Jewish Nazi, let me start by saying, for those of you...
00:07:29.980 Because you talk about the Canadians are being lied to.
00:07:32.500 But actually, all of us around the world, we've got absolutely no idea what's going on.
00:07:36.280 I think a lot of people sort of pretend that they do.
00:07:38.800 But we don't know what's happened.
00:07:40.840 It's hard to follow from abroad when you can't go down and see with your own eyes.
00:07:45.020 And what do you trust?
00:07:46.160 And what do you not trust?
00:07:47.120 So, let's just go right back to the very beginning.
00:07:50.660 How did this happen?
00:07:51.920 What was it about?
00:07:53.200 What happened?
00:07:53.920 How did it start?
00:07:54.760 How did it proceed?
00:07:56.000 So, it started so innocuously.
00:07:58.480 I have my channel.
00:07:59.860 I've had my channel for a long time.
00:08:01.240 And I've been doing what I call Viva on the Street rants of sorts.
00:08:04.460 I walk my dog.
00:08:05.840 It started a year ago.
00:08:07.720 The Viva on the Streets started a year ago where we were under curfew.
00:08:11.440 And the only way to get out of your house after 8 o'clock was to walk your dog.
00:08:14.820 And so, I said, I'm going to document this curfew because I think it's unconstitutional.
00:08:18.480 I think it's obscene.
00:08:19.680 And I started doing these videos on the street where I just talked about legal stuff that was going on in Canada specifically in respect of the COVID response.
00:08:29.100 So, I've been doing these for a while.
00:08:30.600 And I've been doing them again during the second lockdown.
00:08:33.880 You know, the very scientific government implemented a second curfew a year after the first highly unscientific curfew.
00:08:40.620 And as I'm doing it, you know, there starts to be some discussion about this convoy that is leaving British Columbia to protest these absurd COVID measures.
00:08:52.040 And I started looking into it.
00:08:53.220 I was like, okay, well, I'm not seeing anything.
00:08:54.940 I'm seeing a report in the CBC about hundreds of truckers, a convoy in British Columbia.
00:09:00.100 I think they were going from Surrey to Vancouver, which are two cities in British Columbia.
00:09:03.940 For those of you who don't know, west coast of Canada.
00:09:06.160 And I was like, okay, well, so big deal.
00:09:09.040 They're protesting road conditions, apparently.
00:09:11.280 Then I, you know, I get a lot of intel from people who know more than me email saying, dude, that's not right.
00:09:17.240 It's a bigger convoy.
00:09:18.460 It's thousands of truckers driving across the country.
00:09:21.460 And sure enough, once it became so known that it couldn't be hidden, the CBC, which was originally reporting on a very small hundreds of trucks coming out of British Columbia, protesting road conditions.
00:09:33.460 They stealth edit their original article to just add the small detail.
00:09:37.520 That protest or convoy is not the same one as the convoy that's going cross country to Ottawa.
00:09:42.480 And then it just, it kept on getting bigger and bigger.
00:09:44.900 The media tried to ignore it.
00:09:46.520 Then they tried to spin it.
00:09:48.460 By saying it's a small protest in British Columbia.
00:09:50.620 And then when it became too big to ignore, they tried to malign it.
00:09:53.840 And that's when we saw all of the misinformation. 0.80
00:09:56.880 Racist, xenophobic.
00:09:58.260 They're coming to overthrow the government. 0.99
00:10:00.440 They're coming to, quote, overthrow the government.
00:10:03.540 That statement was quoted by Jagmeet Singh, then by the National Post, then by Daytime Radio.
00:10:09.480 When in reality, nobody involved in the actual convoy itself ever had any stated objective to overthrow the government.
00:10:17.500 But, I mean, that's how it started.
00:10:19.500 And then the question is, look how it's going now.
00:10:21.140 I mean, it...
00:10:22.420 So, that is...
00:10:23.940 Sorry, David.
00:10:24.880 That's where we are now, okay?
00:10:27.560 I've been watching Canada.
00:10:28.840 Now, before COVID hit Canada, I thought Canada was one of the most liberal, sane countries in the entire world.
00:10:36.840 And I've looked at Canada and the way it's behaved over COVID.
00:10:40.560 I'm going to use technical language here. 1.00
00:10:42.320 It's fucking mental. 1.00
00:10:44.220 It's absolutely insane. 1.00
00:10:46.080 Again, why have the Canadians done this? 0.99
00:10:49.080 Or more accurately, why have the Canadian government implemented this?
00:10:53.760 And why have they behaved in this fashion?
00:10:55.740 Well, you know, it's funny.
00:10:57.760 Again, things can be understood backwards.
00:10:59.760 I had a lot of people on my channel back when I was, you know, giving...
00:11:04.300 I still think they're objective breakdowns, but I was not sharing my opinion.
00:11:07.140 I was, you know, explaining things.
00:11:09.100 Back in the day, all of my American subs were saying, you guys have...
00:11:13.220 This is pre-COVID.
00:11:14.160 You guys have no free speech in Canada.
00:11:15.840 You have no freedoms in Canada.
00:11:17.420 You are subjects of the Queen.
00:11:20.600 And you think you have freedom.
00:11:22.260 And I'm sitting there saying, you guys are exaggerating.
00:11:24.660 We have freedom of speech, you know.
00:11:27.380 And then I didn't appreciate it until I did a video on Bill C-16 at the time, which was...
00:11:34.360 Jordan Peterson was talking about it.
00:11:36.480 Is this law going to result in compelled speech?
00:11:39.020 And he was raising the flags about it at the time.
00:11:41.400 And I was like, no, no, no, it's not.
00:11:42.980 You know, we want to add gender identity as aggravating factors to hate crimes. 0.89
00:11:48.240 Jordan Peterson was saying, well, this is going to result in people saying,
00:11:50.960 you call me by my gender identity, or it's a hate crime, or I'm going to...
00:11:54.780 You know, compelled speech.
00:11:55.740 I was like, no, no, you're exaggerating.
00:11:57.520 But it was...
00:11:58.180 It started long before.
00:11:59.560 You know, the liberal policies under Justin Trudeau have been fundamentally illiberal,
00:12:04.860 but cloaked under liberalism.
00:12:07.380 The idea of banning certain types of speech that you deem to be hate speech,
00:12:10.960 well, it starts off with certain...
00:12:13.200 We call them objective words.
00:12:14.660 And then it turns into honk honk memes, means Heil Hitler,
00:12:18.400 and you can't say it, because that's how it goes.
00:12:21.400 So it's always...
00:12:21.960 These seeds have been planted a long time ago.
00:12:24.080 And the analogy, everybody says bamboo grows overnight.
00:12:27.220 Bamboo might grow 18 feet overnight,
00:12:29.520 but it took six years for those seeds to take a seed in the ground
00:12:33.920 so it could grow that fast overnight.
00:12:35.980 We went fascistic over the last two years,
00:12:38.800 but those seeds had been planted,
00:12:40.360 unbeknownst to a great many people,
00:12:42.220 at the very least, as of Justin Trudeau's ascension to the reign of power.
00:12:46.020 And, you know, not only were we not paying attention to it at the time,
00:12:49.300 because we could not have anticipated it would go so far off the rails,
00:12:52.700 we were also ignoring the dictator's own tendencies to praise dictatorships
00:12:58.400 and his propensity for corruption and lack of ethics.
00:13:02.260 David, you're using some big words there,
00:13:04.480 and sort of the normie portion of our audience,
00:13:07.560 I think, would balk at some of that.
00:13:09.260 You call it fascistic.
00:13:10.480 You know, you and I probably have, you know,
00:13:12.820 members of our family who died to fascism in World War II.
00:13:16.880 You call Justin Trudeau a dictator.
00:13:18.300 Are you not going a bit farther?
00:13:20.260 Are you not exaggerating?
00:13:22.060 Like, explain to us, why is this fascistic?
00:13:24.700 So I've had this argument with friends and family where,
00:13:28.560 you know, they say, don't compare it to Germany.
00:13:30.940 Don't compare it to this and that.
00:13:32.160 And I'm very much, I agree with that.
00:13:34.540 You don't willy-nilly just, you know, break out the Godwin's Law,
00:13:38.040 and when someone makes a rule, call them Hitler.
00:13:40.720 And I've been specifying this over time.
00:13:43.680 When anyone compares things to Hitler or Germany,
00:13:45.820 they think 1939 to 1945 Germany.
00:13:48.440 But there are other eras in which you can compare
00:13:51.520 without getting into the most egregious part of Nazi Germany.
00:13:56.120 Starting with 1933, the Reichstag fire,
00:13:59.420 where whether or not it was a false flag set up,
00:14:01.900 it was used as an excuse to invoke the Emergencies Act
00:14:05.340 and suspend Parliament.
00:14:06.460 So a fabricated crisis was used to grant the government
00:14:10.520 emergency powers to effectively suspend democracy.
00:14:14.320 If that is not exactly what was done now,
00:14:16.960 well then, I don't care if you get offended by the analogy,
00:14:20.220 you should at least know your history
00:14:21.500 so that you can see the signs of things
00:14:23.340 as they're occurring in real time.
00:14:24.780 I doubt very much Canada will ever descend
00:14:27.080 into a 1939 Germany.
00:14:29.480 But that does not mean that Canada under Trudeau
00:14:31.440 is not right now acting very much like a 1933 Germany,
00:14:34.840 because they are.
00:14:35.720 So when I use the term fascistic,
00:14:38.260 a government subsidizing the media,
00:14:41.860 buying off the media.
00:14:43.060 So the media then effectively becomes the mouthpiece
00:14:45.400 of the government.
00:14:46.560 And then you have the courts
00:14:48.180 who are appointed by the government
00:14:50.360 ratifying these decisions
00:14:52.940 that are made by the government,
00:14:54.900 promoted by the media
00:14:56.280 to brainwash the masses into thinking
00:14:58.560 it's somehow acceptable
00:15:00.620 to talk about a tax on the unvaccinated
00:15:02.820 or it's somehow acceptable
00:15:03.840 to quarantine,
00:15:05.440 to forcefully detain people
00:15:07.640 in government facilities
00:15:08.960 with no due process,
00:15:10.120 no court order,
00:15:10.740 no nothing.
00:15:11.460 When all those three things come together,
00:15:13.560 you basically have a fascistic regime.
00:15:15.840 Whether or not you find it hyperbolic,
00:15:18.240 that's the literal Mussolini definition of fascism
00:15:21.120 is when you have big tech
00:15:22.520 and the media working with the government.
00:15:24.660 And that is exactly what we have now
00:15:26.240 to violate our most fundamental
00:15:28.540 and sacred rights.
00:15:29.900 People should understand this.
00:15:31.500 Outside of Canada,
00:15:33.100 within Canada,
00:15:33.940 during the COVID response,
00:15:35.920 we were literally locked in our homes,
00:15:37.900 at least in Quebec,
00:15:39.320 under a curfew
00:15:40.220 from eight at night to,
00:15:42.000 it might've been eight at night
00:15:42.960 to five in the morning
00:15:44.060 or nine at night,
00:15:45.080 whatever the time was,
00:15:46.460 we were put under curfew
00:15:47.980 to fight a virus
00:15:49.380 when our own health director guy here,
00:15:51.400 Horacio Arruda,
00:15:52.700 openly stated,
00:15:53.720 there's no science to back this
00:15:55.360 as a measure to combat a virus.
00:15:57.020 We were locked in our homes.
00:15:57.980 The court said,
00:15:59.100 that's not a big deal.
00:16:00.940 There was another lawsuit
00:16:02.120 where they were contesting children
00:16:03.760 being compelled to wear face masks.
00:16:05.780 The court said,
00:16:07.240 the risk,
00:16:07.760 however minimal,
00:16:08.820 is still there,
00:16:09.960 so we're ratifying this.
00:16:11.520 In Canada,
00:16:12.600 Justin Trudeau
00:16:13.380 required travelers
00:16:15.800 re-entering by air
00:16:16.960 to be whisked off
00:16:19.440 to government-designated
00:16:21.140 quarantine facilities.
00:16:22.200 They called them quarantine hotels,
00:16:23.560 but they were taken
00:16:25.120 and detained
00:16:26.080 in government-designated
00:16:28.000 quarantine facilities,
00:16:29.340 no due process,
00:16:30.780 and they had to pay
00:16:31.540 for the luxury,
00:16:32.180 no less,
00:16:32.760 $2,000
00:16:33.280 where people were sexually assaulted
00:16:36.180 in these government-designated
00:16:37.480 quarantine facilities.
00:16:38.580 The court said,
00:16:39.700 that's fine.
00:16:40.420 So I don't think people
00:16:42.120 outside of Canada
00:16:42.820 appreciate how far off the rails
00:16:44.480 the Canadian government has gone,
00:16:46.000 but they have their bought
00:16:47.300 and paid-for media
00:16:48.620 promoting the narrative,
00:16:50.480 concealing the lies,
00:16:51.820 concealing everything else
00:16:53.440 that is wrong
00:16:54.420 with the Justin Trudeau government,
00:16:55.600 all the while,
00:16:57.380 just wholesale desecration
00:16:59.140 of our most fundamental
00:17:00.160 constitutional rights,
00:17:01.200 and if anyone gets offended
00:17:02.200 by the comparisons
00:17:03.140 to other historical atrocities,
00:17:05.280 out of New Brunswick,
00:17:06.380 they implemented something
00:17:07.360 where they were basically saying
00:17:08.560 unvaccinated people
00:17:10.300 could not get into grocery stores,
00:17:12.500 and they would have to find
00:17:13.760 alternative means for,
00:17:15.540 I think they called them
00:17:16.580 necessities of life.
00:17:18.760 I'm sorry,
00:17:19.640 if you don't think it's time
00:17:20.640 to start making comparisons
00:17:21.720 to historical atrocities
00:17:22.920 when you are denying people
00:17:24.280 access to necessities of life,
00:17:25.600 based on their medical status,
00:17:27.480 you need to learn from history,
00:17:28.720 and I don't need to weigh my words.
00:17:31.140 But here's the thing,
00:17:32.160 hang on a second,
00:17:32.840 but isn't he the wokest,
00:17:34.500 kindest prime minister
00:17:35.760 that you've ever had?
00:17:37.100 He says,
00:17:37.660 hey, men,
00:17:38.160 he says,
00:17:38.640 hey, women, 1.00
00:17:39.520 you know,
00:17:39.740 he's the first black prime minister
00:17:41.080 of Canada,
00:17:42.100 come on. 1.00
00:17:43.440 He's a hypocrite. 1.00
00:17:46.440 He lies, 1.00
00:17:47.200 period.
00:17:47.920 He touts himself as,
00:17:49.600 when he was asked,
00:17:50.360 you know,
00:17:50.540 why is your cabinet,
00:17:51.600 why are there so many women 1.00
00:17:52.440 in your cabinet?
00:17:53.320 And he says,
00:17:53.820 oh,
00:17:54.000 because it's 2020.
00:17:54.820 Ha ha ha.
00:17:56.220 Well done.
00:17:56.840 He took social media credit.
00:17:58.560 He scored his virtue signaling points
00:18:00.200 for appointing,
00:18:01.320 he touted it at the time,
00:18:02.600 the first female aboriginal
00:18:04.160 minister of justice
00:18:05.100 and attorney general.
00:18:05.760 He took social media credit
00:18:07.420 for being progressive,
00:18:08.540 for having done that.
00:18:09.760 And then when she,
00:18:11.320 Jody Wilson-Raybould,
00:18:12.640 the minister of justice,
00:18:14.240 refused to adhere
00:18:15.120 to his corrupt demands
00:18:16.420 not to prosecute
00:18:17.820 this massive conglomerate
00:18:19.400 that he was chummy chummy with,
00:18:20.700 when she,
00:18:21.360 as an independent minister
00:18:22.400 of justice,
00:18:22.820 said,
00:18:23.140 I'm going to prosecute them
00:18:24.140 for corruption
00:18:25.320 because of what they were doing
00:18:26.680 in Liberia.
00:18:27.320 It's a construction conglomerate.
00:18:29.020 He pressured her
00:18:29.940 not to do it.
00:18:30.760 He pressured her
00:18:31.480 to enter into a deferred
00:18:32.480 prosecution agreement
00:18:33.220 with this company.
00:18:34.040 She said,
00:18:34.680 no,
00:18:34.860 I'm prosecuting them.
00:18:35.900 And then he,
00:18:36.960 who took social media
00:18:38.300 virtue signaling credit
00:18:39.440 for having appointed
00:18:40.400 the first female
00:18:41.420 aboriginal minister of justice,
00:18:43.320 demoted her
00:18:43.820 because she would not listen 0.87
00:18:44.840 to his corrupt demands. 0.61
00:18:46.060 I mean, 0.80
00:18:46.400 he talks the talk
00:18:48.140 and he says,
00:18:49.600 you know,
00:18:49.940 the platitudes,
00:18:51.720 but in practice,
00:18:52.880 he does everything
00:18:54.240 the exact opposite.
00:18:55.500 And,
00:18:55.760 you know,
00:18:56.460 the blackface thing,
00:18:58.400 the images everybody now
00:18:59.420 has seen across the world,
00:19:01.260 you know,
00:19:01.860 I would not have been shocked
00:19:03.140 about that 1.00
00:19:03.620 because people do stupid things. 1.00
00:19:05.780 The moral climate 1.00
00:19:07.460 when he did that
00:19:08.320 was different
00:19:08.780 than what it is today,
00:19:09.740 but it's the hypocrisy 0.82
00:19:11.360 that this guy looks around 0.96
00:19:12.660 and sees racism everywhere.
00:19:13.920 He sees sexism everywhere.
00:19:15.540 He sees,
00:19:16.440 he sees bad things everywhere
00:19:18.460 and it's probably
00:19:19.520 because it's all in him
00:19:20.920 and he just views the world
00:19:22.800 through his own mental framework
00:19:24.040 of feeling that
00:19:24.980 and doing that himself.
00:19:25.880 So he just assumes
00:19:26.540 everyone else does it.
00:19:27.800 But the blackface images, 0.63
00:19:29.640 he was alleged to have
00:19:30.680 groped a reporter back in 2000. 0.53
00:19:32.380 He apologized to her.
00:19:33.680 He fired the minister
00:19:34.700 of justice
00:19:35.200 for not adhering
00:19:35.860 to his demands,
00:19:36.960 his two ethics breaches.
00:19:38.700 I don't know
00:19:39.200 if your audience knows
00:19:40.100 that Justin Trudeau
00:19:41.540 was found
00:19:42.620 to have breached
00:19:43.660 the code of ethics
00:19:44.780 or the ethics code
00:19:45.460 twice on two separate occasions.
00:19:47.500 One for taking
00:19:48.440 undisclosed gifts
00:19:49.420 from the Aga Khan Foundation
00:19:51.440 while that
00:19:52.800 Aga Khan Foundation
00:19:54.000 was petitioning
00:19:54.780 the government
00:19:55.080 for tens of millions
00:19:55.800 of dollars
00:19:56.200 in federal monies
00:19:57.160 that they got.
00:19:58.160 He took it all expenses,
00:19:59.680 weekend vacation
00:20:00.400 to the private island
00:20:01.340 of Aga Khan,
00:20:02.240 didn't disclose it,
00:20:03.440 brought down the RCMP,
00:20:04.520 of course,
00:20:04.960 didn't disclose any of that
00:20:06.000 and was found
00:20:06.720 to have breached
00:20:07.180 his ethics.
00:20:08.120 That was the first time.
00:20:09.160 Second time
00:20:09.680 was the SNC-Lavalin
00:20:10.680 where he exercised
00:20:11.920 undue pressure
00:20:12.960 on the independent body
00:20:14.300 of the Minister of Justice
00:20:15.140 and Attorney General.
00:20:16.060 And then the third
00:20:16.720 ethics investigation
00:20:18.160 was his mother
00:20:19.920 and his brother
00:20:21.040 taking speaking fees
00:20:23.120 from this thing
00:20:23.820 called the WE Charity
00:20:24.740 where they took
00:20:25.160 like $335,000
00:20:26.920 in speaking fees
00:20:28.120 from a charity
00:20:29.120 over two years.
00:20:30.620 And then lo and behold,
00:20:31.840 the WE Charity
00:20:32.400 was granted
00:20:32.860 a sole-sourced,
00:20:34.040 no-bid government contract
00:20:35.180 to administer
00:20:36.000 a billion dollars
00:20:36.940 in student aid
00:20:37.620 for which they would
00:20:38.380 have gotten paid
00:20:38.760 $20 million.
00:20:39.700 I don't know how
00:20:40.600 that did not satisfy
00:20:41.760 the criteria
00:20:42.440 for a third ethics violation,
00:20:44.060 but there was that.
00:20:45.660 And while that investigation
00:20:46.600 is going on,
00:20:47.520 he prorogues Parliament
00:20:48.460 to suspend the investigation.
00:20:50.400 I mean,
00:20:51.300 he might say
00:20:52.200 the right things,
00:20:53.100 but everything he does
00:20:54.100 is the exact opposite.
00:20:55.560 And he's ultimately 1.00
00:20:56.740 just a pure hypocrite. 1.00
00:20:59.620 Mildly. 1.00
00:21:00.180 He does sound like
00:21:01.300 he'd make a great
00:21:02.000 prime minister of Russia
00:21:03.020 the way you were
00:21:03.600 talking about him.
00:21:04.340 But it's interesting
00:21:06.460 that you're saying this
00:21:08.180 because the people of Canada,
00:21:12.140 some of them
00:21:12.800 seem to be supporting him.
00:21:15.900 Here's the funny thing.
00:21:16.920 So I ran for federal office
00:21:18.500 last September.
00:21:20.080 I think that might have been
00:21:20.720 the last time I cut my hair.
00:21:22.900 I ran for federal office
00:21:24.300 for the PPC,
00:21:24.980 the People's Party of Canada.
00:21:26.520 You know,
00:21:26.680 they're dubbed far-right,
00:21:28.400 more conservative
00:21:29.220 than conservative. 1.00
00:21:30.260 It's an idiotic misnomer 1.00
00:21:32.080 because I don't consider 1.00
00:21:33.560 myself conservative.
00:21:34.380 I don't know what
00:21:34.760 these words mean anymore,
00:21:35.620 but I have as many
00:21:36.820 liberal policies
00:21:38.280 in my spirit
00:21:39.560 as I do conservative.
00:21:40.980 I ran.
00:21:42.200 I didn't meet one person
00:21:43.880 who liked Justin Trudeau.
00:21:45.580 I met a bunch of people
00:21:46.580 who said,
00:21:47.020 I hate him,
00:21:48.300 I'm going to vote for him 1.00
00:21:49.080 and hold my nose
00:21:50.100 like they said
00:21:50.580 with Hillary Clinton.
00:21:51.220 And I met a bunch
00:21:52.340 who said,
00:21:52.600 I hate him so much,
00:21:53.200 I'm going to vote NDP
00:21:53.960 out of protest,
00:21:54.780 the New Democratic Party
00:21:56.000 led by Jagmeet Singh.
00:21:58.180 And I said at the time,
00:21:59.440 if you think that's
00:22:00.500 a protest vote,
00:22:01.580 I mean,
00:22:01.740 you're just voting
00:22:02.240 for Justin Trudeau 2.0.
00:22:03.920 The only difference
00:22:04.720 between Justin Trudeau
00:22:05.760 and Jagmeet Singh
00:22:06.820 is that Jagmeet Singh
00:22:08.100 has not had the power yet
00:22:09.280 to act on his corruption, 0.60
00:22:10.440 but he's just as corrupt 0.99
00:22:11.500 and just as immoral. 0.99
00:22:12.920 For your audience
00:22:14.080 who doesn't know,
00:22:14.720 the New Democratic Party,
00:22:16.100 the leader,
00:22:16.500 Jagmeet Singh,
00:22:17.480 at one point
00:22:18.240 during the election
00:22:19.200 came out and said
00:22:20.080 the people
00:22:21.860 who don't want
00:22:22.360 to wear masks
00:22:23.060 tend to be
00:22:24.000 far-right extremists.
00:22:25.140 David, one second,
00:22:25.920 we just lost audio
00:22:26.780 on our end
00:22:27.300 for some reason.
00:22:28.100 Here we go.
00:22:28.720 Here we go.
00:22:29.160 Of me?
00:22:30.260 Yeah, carry on,
00:22:31.260 carry on.
00:22:31.600 Okay, so Jagmeet Singh,
00:22:33.820 for anybody who doesn't know,
00:22:34.580 he's the leader
00:22:35.040 of the New Democratic Party.
00:22:36.840 During the election,
00:22:38.020 he came out
00:22:38.600 in a speech
00:22:39.540 very eloquently said,
00:22:41.140 people who oppose
00:22:41.980 mask mandates
00:22:42.820 and don't want to wear masks
00:22:43.980 are selfish,
00:22:45.120 they don't care
00:22:45.580 about community,
00:22:46.680 they tend to be
00:22:47.400 right-wing extremists, 1.00
00:22:48.240 the most idiotic stuff 1.00
00:22:50.520 in the world, 1.00
00:22:51.180 you can imagine,
00:22:52.160 and then about a week later
00:22:53.340 he was caught
00:22:53.880 not wearing a mask
00:22:54.580 breaking the COVID rules.
00:22:55.780 So Jagmeet Singh
00:22:56.540 is just as bad as Trudeau
00:22:57.920 minus the power,
00:22:59.080 so he has not yet
00:22:59.760 had the chance
00:23:00.760 to be in power
00:23:01.720 to act on his corrupt nature,
00:23:03.940 but people,
00:23:05.040 I never met anybody
00:23:06.040 who liked Justin Trudeau.
00:23:08.260 So I don't,
00:23:08.700 he got re-elected
00:23:10.400 with a minority government,
00:23:11.400 I think they lost
00:23:12.420 or gained one seat,
00:23:13.180 but there was no difference,
00:23:14.500 but it wasn't like 20%
00:23:15.940 or 22%
00:23:16.760 of the eligible vote
00:23:17.720 voted for Trudeau.
00:23:19.040 The rest was split
00:23:19.920 over the NDP,
00:23:21.020 the conservatives,
00:23:22.100 to a lesser extent
00:23:23.200 the PPC,
00:23:24.080 we got under a million votes
00:23:25.740 nationwide,
00:23:26.740 which was still pretty good,
00:23:28.160 and then the Green Party
00:23:29.020 and some other stuff.
00:23:30.140 But some people vote for him
00:23:31.920 out of pure ignorance,
00:23:33.120 some people vote for him
00:23:33.940 because they think
00:23:34.680 if they vote for a liberal party
00:23:36.720 it makes them liberal,
00:23:37.780 but the irony is that
00:23:38.960 the liberal party
00:23:39.880 and Justin Trudeau 0.70
00:23:40.940 are the most intolerant, 0.87
00:23:43.140 I would say undemocratic 0.81
00:23:44.580 and unconstitutional party
00:23:46.080 out there,
00:23:47.100 they just go under the name
00:23:48.080 liberal so people can feel
00:23:49.220 good about themselves.
00:23:50.780 I guess,
00:23:51.160 let me just follow up on that.
00:23:52.560 I guess what I'm getting at,
00:23:53.720 David,
00:23:54.080 is to what extent
00:23:56.240 is he imposing policies
00:23:57.620 that have public support?
00:23:58.780 Because in the UK
00:23:59.640 there were moments
00:24:00.960 when we were going
00:24:01.860 in that fascistic direction
00:24:03.240 and what we found was
00:24:05.720 that was because
00:24:06.780 a lot of the public
00:24:07.580 wanted it.
00:24:09.200 Is that true in Canada?
00:24:10.620 It's a difficult thing
00:24:12.320 to tell because
00:24:13.060 he comes out
00:24:14.460 during the election
00:24:15.280 just as Justin Trudeau
00:24:16.540 and says how
00:24:17.480 the unvaccinated,
00:24:18.980 they're putting
00:24:19.460 their kids at risk
00:24:20.400 and they're putting
00:24:21.140 our kids at risk.
00:24:22.500 And then he goes out
00:24:23.100 to even say something
00:24:23.860 even worse,
00:24:24.680 those people
00:24:25.320 are putting us
00:24:26.180 all at risk.
00:24:27.240 He says these things,
00:24:28.560 they get outrage,
00:24:29.760 but then you get
00:24:30.340 these polls from CBC
00:24:32.160 using the same pollsters
00:24:34.040 that had the PPC
00:24:35.840 at under 2%,
00:24:37.880 which made no sense.
00:24:38.920 You get these pollsters
00:24:40.400 who are fundamentally corrupt
00:24:42.220 for anybody
00:24:42.980 who doesn't really
00:24:43.940 understand that.
00:24:44.940 I would invite you
00:24:45.520 to watch the sidebar
00:24:46.680 that I did with Robert Barnes
00:24:47.920 with Richard Barris.
00:24:50.460 Pollsters are notoriously corrupt,
00:24:52.020 but when you have
00:24:52.460 the CBC coming out
00:24:53.300 and saying 70% of Canadians
00:24:55.720 support harsher measures
00:24:57.060 on the unvaccinated
00:24:57.920 and then you go look
00:24:59.700 and it's like a polling
00:25:00.560 of 1,400,
00:25:01.440 not even,
00:25:01.920 1,100 people
00:25:02.980 who anybody who answers
00:25:05.420 to these polls
00:25:05.860 in the first place
00:25:06.480 tends to be
00:25:07.220 of a certain
00:25:07.920 ideological alignment.
00:25:09.280 You have the media
00:25:10.860 running these polls
00:25:12.160 that say people agree
00:25:12.980 with this
00:25:13.320 when I don't think they do
00:25:14.620 and my impression 0.83
00:25:15.680 is that these corrupt pollsters
00:25:16.900 in the first place
00:25:17.660 are trying to craft reality
00:25:19.800 and not reflect it
00:25:21.040 and then you have
00:25:22.560 daytime radio,
00:25:23.440 CJAD saying,
00:25:24.320 you know,
00:25:24.420 people support more measures,
00:25:25.880 we should crack down
00:25:26.740 on the unvaccinated.
00:25:28.360 My impression is
00:25:29.240 the majority of people
00:25:29.820 don't feel this way,
00:25:30.880 but the pollsters
00:25:32.400 and CBC,
00:25:33.520 the state-funded media
00:25:34.820 come out and say,
00:25:35.680 the majority of people
00:25:36.400 do feel this way
00:25:37.140 as though to empower others
00:25:38.640 or to encourage them
00:25:39.400 to feel this way
00:25:40.040 based on polls
00:25:40.900 that say everybody feels it.
00:25:41.880 It's a vicious circle,
00:25:43.120 but my personal impression
00:25:44.760 is that most people don't
00:25:45.840 and a lot of them
00:25:47.020 are just too fearful
00:25:47.860 to say publicly
00:25:48.700 that they don't.
00:25:49.520 I can't even share anecdotes
00:25:51.080 of professionals
00:25:52.360 from all walks of life
00:25:54.020 who come up to me
00:25:54.880 and say,
00:25:55.180 Canada's off the deep end,
00:25:57.520 what's up with this?
00:25:58.400 We can't stand this,
00:25:59.800 but when you have like
00:26:01.660 eight political parties
00:26:03.260 running for office,
00:26:04.140 it has its own problems
00:26:05.960 that a two-party system
00:26:07.040 doesn't have
00:26:07.620 in that it splits up the vote.
00:26:09.980 Justin Trudeau gets re-elected
00:26:11.000 with a very small
00:26:11.860 minority government
00:26:12.580 and he gets to say,
00:26:13.880 I have a mandate
00:26:14.400 to do this stuff
00:26:15.280 when I think in reality
00:26:16.500 he doesn't
00:26:17.100 and I think beneath
00:26:18.120 the veneer of fake news
00:26:20.180 and fake polls,
00:26:21.340 people do not support this
00:26:22.420 and people despise it.
00:26:24.560 Broadway's smash hit,

00:26:53.100 Why do you think it is
00:26:56.680 that the more liberal,
00:26:58.460 and I'm putting liberals
00:26:59.240 in inverted commas
00:27:00.120 because as you've just
00:27:00.920 said to yourself,
00:27:02.260 these words no longer mean
00:27:03.760 what they're used to
00:27:04.720 and in fact many of them
00:27:05.980 have become redundant.
00:27:06.920 I think that's a great point.
00:27:08.200 Why is it these liberals
00:27:09.560 are actually the most draconian
00:27:11.660 when it comes to implementing
00:27:13.140 COVID legislation?
00:27:14.800 You look at Scotland
00:27:15.660 with the SNP,
00:27:17.280 very liberal,
00:27:17.920 but they're not.
00:27:19.580 They're really,
00:27:20.840 really hard line
00:27:21.500 when it comes to COVID.
00:27:22.420 You look at what's happening
00:27:23.240 in New York.
00:27:24.160 You look at what's happening
00:27:24.840 in Canada.
00:27:26.140 You look at what's happening
00:27:26.880 in New Zealand.
00:27:27.960 These are countries
00:27:29.000 that have gone off the deep end
00:27:31.120 when it comes to this virus.
00:27:35.420 There's things,
00:27:36.080 I don't like categorizing people
00:27:38.640 based on politics.
00:27:39.660 I just remember growing up,
00:27:41.000 this did not come from my father
00:27:42.240 so I don't want anyone
00:27:43.020 thinking this came from my father.
00:27:45.080 I remember always hearing 1.00
00:27:46.640 liberalism is a mental disorder. 1.00
00:27:48.940 I remember hearing 1.00
00:27:49.940 behind every liberal
00:27:51.380 is an aspiring tyrant.
00:27:52.900 I never understood
00:27:53.620 these things at the time,
00:27:54.720 but now I see it.
00:27:56.020 It's the idea that,
00:27:58.220 who was it that wrote
00:27:59.280 Through the Looking Glass?
00:28:00.140 Lewis Carroll.
00:28:01.080 I think it was his quote
00:28:02.000 who basically said,
00:28:02.820 there's nothing worse
00:28:03.900 than a tyrant
00:28:04.660 who thinks that they're acting
00:28:06.160 on their own benevolence
00:28:07.400 because they'll do it
00:28:08.520 day in and day out
00:28:09.640 and there's no respite
00:28:11.460 to their tyranny
00:28:12.360 because they think
00:28:13.020 it's for the good of others.
00:28:15.420 Justin,
00:28:15.720 I don't even think
00:28:17.160 that applies to Trudeau
00:28:17.880 because I think he knows
00:28:18.480 what he's doing,
00:28:19.020 but the bottom line is
00:28:20.240 they think that it's
00:28:21.460 for everyone else's benefit
00:28:22.560 so there's no limits
00:28:23.480 to their liberalism
00:28:24.760 because it's for everyone else's
00:28:26.400 own greater good.
00:28:28.100 But it's just a shocking irony.
00:28:30.680 You know,
00:28:30.840 in the United States
00:28:31.840 you have the Democrats,
00:28:32.880 the Democratic Party
00:28:33.860 saying,
00:28:34.520 can't have voter ID
00:28:36.160 because it's racist,
00:28:37.440 but you need vaccine passport ID
00:28:39.460 to get into a coffee shop
00:28:40.660 or to eat in New York City.
00:28:42.240 I mean,
00:28:43.080 you have,
00:28:44.100 and I called it at the time,
00:28:45.320 I called it out at the time
00:28:46.420 when Justin Trudeau was saying,
00:28:48.240 you know,
00:28:48.460 the most liberal,
00:28:49.520 tolerant government,
00:28:50.240 it's all about inclusion,
00:28:51.260 diversity,
00:28:51.800 et cetera,
00:28:52.440 implementing a vaccine passport system
00:28:54.460 that is disparately going to impact
00:28:56.740 Blacks, 1.00
00:28:57.400 Latinos,
00:28:57.840 and Indigenous people of Canada.
00:28:59.360 And if you don't know it, 1.00
00:29:01.240 you're an incompetent nincompoop. 1.00
00:29:03.680 If you do know it, 1.00
00:29:04.740 you're an absolute hypocrite. 1.00
00:29:06.020 And it's not possible 1.00
00:29:07.280 that Justin Trudeau
00:29:08.420 does not know
00:29:09.380 that the people
00:29:10.000 who are historically reluctant
00:29:11.620 to have vaccine hesitancy
00:29:14.400 are ethnic minorities.
00:29:17.640 And the ultimate irony,
00:29:19.000 the reason for which
00:29:19.940 they are reluctant
00:29:20.840 is because of past
00:29:22.300 historical atrocities
00:29:23.360 committed by the government.
00:29:24.420 The Tuskegee experiments
00:29:25.560 on the Black population
00:29:26.800 in America,
00:29:27.740 the residential schooling system
00:29:29.120 in Canada
00:29:29.680 for which our liberal government
00:29:31.120 just apologized
00:29:31.800 and paid out
00:29:32.460 $40 billion settlement,
00:29:33.920 they tested.
00:29:34.520 They did medical testing
00:29:36.120 on Indigenous children
00:29:37.660 in the residential school system
00:29:38.880 and now you've got
00:29:39.780 your liberal government
00:29:40.500 once again saying,
00:29:41.920 we know what's better
00:29:42.520 for you minorities.
00:29:43.480 Do what we say
00:29:44.140 or you can't fly on a plane
00:29:45.560 or take a train across Canada.
00:29:47.400 I mean,
00:29:47.980 they think they're doing it
00:29:49.020 for other people's good.
00:29:50.300 They are aspiring tyrants
00:29:51.980 and they try to cloak
00:29:53.300 their tyranny
00:29:54.240 in benevolence
00:29:55.220 and it's the most dangerous combination
00:29:56.860 but it's the most absolute
00:29:57.980 flagrant hypocrisy. 0.55
00:29:59.640 You may as well just put up 0.96
00:30:00.420 a sign in your restaurant
00:30:01.820 if you're imposing
00:30:02.780 a vaccine passport 0.96
00:30:03.560 saying Black people 0.98
00:30:04.520 Latinos and Indigenous 0.99
00:30:05.860 proportionately are not welcome. 0.99
00:30:07.840 That's what's happening
00:30:08.360 in New York
00:30:08.840 and the inconsistency
00:30:10.360 in these policies
00:30:11.080 should be shocking
00:30:12.040 to everyone
00:30:12.620 who considers themselves
00:30:13.640 to be a liberal
00:30:14.160 or a Democrat.
00:30:15.580 Look,
00:30:16.100 I'm fully behind you
00:30:17.320 and both of us
00:30:18.600 and everyone here
00:30:19.180 at Trigonometry
00:30:19.740 has spoken out consistently
00:30:21.180 against vaccine passports.
00:30:24.080 I think the people
00:30:24.860 who agreed to them,
00:30:26.380 you're opening
00:30:26.760 a Pandora's box
00:30:27.840 and you're opening
00:30:28.600 a Pandora's box
00:30:29.620 to a place
00:30:30.740 and to a society
00:30:31.620 where none of us
00:30:32.420 want to go.
00:30:33.140 That being the case,
00:30:35.620 let's look at the
00:30:36.620 trucker's situation now.
00:30:38.000 What is happening now
00:30:39.160 on the ground
00:30:40.120 as of today?
00:30:42.140 The last,
00:30:42.720 I mean,
00:30:42.880 Ottawa is effectively
00:30:43.980 at last checked
00:30:45.960 a police state.
00:30:47.000 I mean,
00:30:47.180 if they thought,
00:30:48.360 if the people of Ottawa
00:30:49.180 thought that their mobility
00:30:50.200 through downtown Ottawa
00:30:51.380 was compromised
00:30:52.020 by the convoy,
00:30:53.380 well,
00:30:53.640 be careful what you wish for
00:30:54.780 because now you've got
00:30:55.660 cops and fences
00:30:56.760 on every street corner
00:30:57.880 literally checking papers,
00:30:59.960 checking credentials
00:31:00.660 to walk through
00:31:01.820 the downtown core.
00:31:03.540 It's a misnomer.
00:31:04.880 It's the fake news
00:31:05.820 success of this,
00:31:07.680 the public perception
00:31:08.480 of this protest
00:31:09.100 that Ottawa was besieged,
00:31:11.740 that Ottawa was crippled
00:31:13.100 and paralyzed.
00:31:14.140 I drove in,
00:31:15.260 it was,
00:31:15.680 if not 14 days,
00:31:16.840 13 days.
00:31:18.060 It was between 12 and four.
00:31:18.940 I forget how many.
00:31:19.700 I never once had any traffic
00:31:21.200 getting in or out.
00:31:22.400 I never once had any problem
00:31:23.740 finding parking.
00:31:25.100 I parked a kilometer away
00:31:26.560 from the protest,
00:31:27.140 maybe about a kilometer away.
00:31:28.740 Never had a problem.
00:31:30.100 Walking through,
00:31:31.100 never had security issues,
00:31:32.420 never felt unsafe,
00:31:33.880 never felt threatened
00:31:34.700 or intimidated.
00:31:35.760 There was not one lick
00:31:37.380 of vandalism
00:31:38.200 anywhere in the protest
00:31:40.120 which was on,
00:31:40.780 you know,
00:31:41.420 concentrated on Wellington Street
00:31:42.760 which is right on Parliament Hill
00:31:43.820 and the three blocks
00:31:44.780 to the south.
00:31:46.860 People were saying
00:31:47.540 that the city's paralyzed,
00:31:48.480 it's besieged,
00:31:49.080 it's an occupation.
00:31:50.480 Restaurants could have been open.
00:31:51.920 They could have been open
00:31:52.600 easily and safely
00:31:53.720 and they would have done
00:31:54.340 very good business.
00:31:55.660 It was the government
00:31:56.340 that told them to shut down
00:31:57.380 and the businesses
00:31:58.380 that stayed open
00:31:59.120 did very well
00:32:00.160 and after the siege was over
00:32:01.660 the government apparently
00:32:02.760 is going after
00:32:03.340 one of the coffee shops,
00:32:04.300 the iconic cafe
00:32:05.220 who served truckers
00:32:06.540 during the protest
00:32:07.240 but during the protest,
00:32:09.880 free mobility,
00:32:11.100 Ottawa had never been safer
00:32:12.460 and this is,
00:32:13.940 if anyone doesn't trust me,
00:32:15.040 go Google it.
00:32:15.920 Crime actually went down
00:32:17.160 in the weeks of the convoy
00:32:18.940 because for those
00:32:20.100 who don't know,
00:32:20.740 Ottawa does have
00:32:21.560 a bit of a homeless problem.
00:32:22.560 It does have a bit of,
00:32:23.380 it's not the cleanest city.
00:32:24.740 It's not the safest city
00:32:25.720 and that area
00:32:27.440 was not an area
00:32:28.200 that you'd ever want
00:32:28.840 to walk at night
00:32:29.500 under normal times
00:32:30.980 but then,
00:32:32.120 you know,
00:32:32.240 the cops show up
00:32:33.040 after three weeks
00:32:33.720 of the most peaceful protest
00:32:34.660 and they break it up
00:32:35.780 in the most brutal manner
00:32:36.600 possible.
00:32:38.480 The videos are out there
00:32:39.420 and then it becomes
00:32:40.720 a total plea.
00:32:41.200 It's cordoned off.
00:32:42.500 Cops are checking
00:32:43.160 credentials,
00:32:44.360 passports.
00:32:44.860 Only if you work
00:32:45.820 in the downtown core
00:32:46.640 can you go there
00:32:47.260 so the people of Ottawa,
00:32:48.720 if you thought
00:32:49.140 it was blocked off before,
00:32:50.660 you know,
00:32:51.380 look at it now.
00:32:53.060 I haven't gone back
00:32:53.920 since the Saturday
00:32:54.760 of the day
00:32:55.560 where it was clear
00:32:56.200 that it was going
00:32:56.580 to be broken up.
00:32:57.500 The cops were not,
00:32:58.480 were not friendly.
00:32:59.840 They were breaking out
00:33:00.580 tear gas.
00:33:01.180 They were hitting people
00:33:01.800 with batons.
00:33:02.480 They were pepper spraying people.
00:33:03.840 I was personally
00:33:04.680 within 10 feet
00:33:06.060 of a stun grenade
00:33:07.400 going off
00:33:07.920 for whatever the reason,
00:33:08.600 two of them,
00:33:08.960 sorry,
00:33:09.160 two went off
00:33:09.720 for whatever the reason.
00:33:10.560 I haven't gone back since
00:33:11.820 but I mean,
00:33:13.640 I've seen the images
00:33:14.220 and I've seen rebel news there.
00:33:15.980 It's an outright police state.
00:33:17.640 It might have been,
00:33:18.460 it might be less so now
00:33:19.600 that Justin Trudeau
00:33:21.320 rescinded the Emergencies Act
00:33:22.900 that he declared
00:33:23.540 and voted on two days ago.
00:33:25.620 And David,
00:33:26.360 one of the things
00:33:26.960 that I think
00:33:27.620 is immediately striking
00:33:28.820 to anyone
00:33:29.420 who didn't wake up yesterday
00:33:31.400 but has been paying attention
00:33:32.640 to what's going on,
00:33:33.440 you used the phrase
00:33:34.180 peaceful protest.
00:33:36.160 We do remember
00:33:37.300 only a couple of years ago
00:33:38.780 there were protests
00:33:39.580 around the world
00:33:40.380 whose peacefulness
00:33:42.220 was somewhat
00:33:42.780 more questionable,
00:33:43.980 let's say,
00:33:44.420 to put it very mildly.
00:33:45.540 There were shops
00:33:46.620 being looted,
00:33:47.460 shops being burned,
00:33:48.420 people being assaulted,
00:33:49.320 several people were murdered,
00:33:51.180 whole territories
00:33:52.240 of American cities
00:33:53.320 were annexed
00:33:54.260 as if by a foreign power
00:33:55.700 and occupied.
00:33:58.120 Why do you think
00:33:59.260 it's okay
00:34:00.040 to,
00:34:01.280 you know,
00:34:02.660 for mounted police
00:34:03.740 to trample protesters
00:34:05.180 who are protesting
00:34:06.360 against vaccine passports
00:34:08.180 and vaccine mandates
00:34:09.340 but it wasn't okay
00:34:11.120 for the police
00:34:12.100 to do anything?
00:34:12.820 In fact,
00:34:13.180 the solution
00:34:13.720 and your leader kneeled
00:34:15.220 with BLM,
00:34:15.960 the solution was
00:34:16.700 to defund the police
00:34:17.840 but here we have
00:34:18.780 the police,
00:34:19.640 you know,
00:34:20.040 being perfectly entitled
00:34:21.300 to essentially
00:34:22.080 beat people up
00:34:22.840 who are peacefully protesting.
00:34:24.220 I mean,
00:34:24.660 it's just the double standards
00:34:26.000 of politics.
00:34:26.920 I mean,
00:34:27.180 the government in Canada
00:34:28.760 wanted so badly
00:34:30.420 for this protest
00:34:31.320 to turn into
00:34:32.380 or become what
00:34:33.840 January 6th
00:34:34.860 is alleged
00:34:35.500 to have been
00:34:36.460 or become.
00:34:37.320 They wanted so bad
00:34:38.520 for there to be violence
00:34:39.340 which I'm convinced
00:34:40.300 is why they just
00:34:41.060 outright ignored
00:34:42.000 the protesters
00:34:42.640 for the three weeks.
00:34:44.840 they ignored them
00:34:46.160 in the hopes
00:34:46.640 of getting them
00:34:47.120 frustrated enough
00:34:47.880 to or just wait
00:34:48.880 long enough
00:34:49.240 for it to devolve
00:34:50.000 into violence
00:34:50.520 because typically
00:34:51.320 that's just what
00:34:51.820 happens with protests.
00:34:53.060 You know,
00:34:53.340 the BLM protests,
00:34:54.340 they don't all start
00:34:55.340 violently
00:34:55.800 but the longer
00:34:56.640 they go on
00:34:57.220 the more likely
00:34:58.000 it is you have
00:34:58.520 agitators coming in,
00:34:59.900 bad actors coming in,
00:35:01.160 people who just want
00:35:01.940 to exploit the opportunity
00:35:03.140 to loot
00:35:04.180 and cause havoc.
00:35:05.440 It's the same thing
00:35:05.980 with hockey,
00:35:07.320 not protests
00:35:08.440 but hockey celebrations.
00:35:10.420 They go on long enough
00:35:11.860 they ultimately devolve
00:35:12.680 into breaking windows
00:35:13.500 and looting.
00:35:14.720 The mostly peaceful
00:35:16.600 but slightly fiery protests
00:35:18.080 in the US,
00:35:19.120 we didn't have them
00:35:20.060 to that extent in Canada
00:35:21.200 even for the BLM protests.
00:35:22.820 They remain by and large
00:35:23.860 peaceful.
00:35:25.480 They shut down streets
00:35:26.560 maybe not for three weeks
00:35:27.540 but you know
00:35:28.060 they shut down streets
00:35:28.800 they cause traffic problems.
00:35:31.340 They could have easily
00:35:32.380 met the same grounds
00:35:33.560 for the violent intervention
00:35:34.820 that Trudeau decided
00:35:36.320 to implement
00:35:36.880 on these protesters
00:35:37.760 but I'm convinced
00:35:39.040 they just ignore them
00:35:39.880 because they wanted
00:35:40.640 it to devolve
00:35:41.200 and if anybody thinks
00:35:43.020 I'm exaggerating
00:35:43.780 or I've taken sides
00:35:45.000 on this
00:35:45.380 I have my own side
00:35:46.920 on this
00:35:47.140 but I was there.
00:35:48.040 I asked the cops
00:35:48.920 have there been
00:35:49.880 any acts of violence
00:35:51.100 any vandalism?
00:35:52.340 One cop said
00:35:53.100 yeah there's a broken window
00:35:54.600 and then started smirking
00:35:55.640 and said yeah
00:35:55.920 but it had nothing
00:35:56.380 to do with the protest.
00:35:57.680 Another cop said
00:35:58.860 yeah there was some vandalism
00:35:59.980 right across the street
00:36:00.820 in real time
00:36:01.960 and I walk across
00:36:02.880 the street to see
00:36:03.560 he said it was
00:36:03.960 on the Senate building
00:36:04.740 and I saw nothing
00:36:05.960 and I don't know
00:36:07.000 if he was joking
00:36:07.600 but you know
00:36:08.580 this was three weeks
00:36:10.300 of peaceful protests
00:36:12.300 so peaceful by the way
00:36:13.440 that the Ottawa Council
00:36:15.620 their biggest issue
00:36:16.500 with this was
00:36:17.140 that there were
00:36:17.860 bouncy castles
00:36:18.720 and hot tubs
00:36:19.760 on Wellington
00:36:20.480 and it's unacceptable.
00:36:22.360 This led to Justin Trudeau
00:36:24.240 after three weeks
00:36:24.900 of the most peaceful protest
00:36:25.880 declaring the Emergencies Act
00:36:27.640 you know
00:36:28.720 yet again
00:36:29.500 desecrating our constitution
00:36:31.100 and rule of law
00:36:31.980 for political gain 1.00
00:36:33.360 making fools 0.96
00:36:35.560 of everyone 0.98
00:36:36.240 in his party
00:36:36.880 that voted for this
00:36:37.680 and the New Democrat Party
00:36:38.800 that voted for this
00:36:39.540 only to rescind the order
00:36:40.800 two days after
00:36:41.480 it was voted upon
00:36:42.280 because there are
00:36:43.920 now existing laws
00:36:45.020 that can deal
00:36:45.800 with the situation
00:36:46.480 as though that was
00:36:47.520 not always the case
00:36:48.520 beforehand.
00:36:49.340 Everyone who's charged
00:36:50.100 with a crime there
00:36:50.800 was charged
00:36:51.700 under the criminal code
00:36:52.520 which pre-existed
00:36:53.600 the Emergencies Act
00:36:54.360 declaration
00:36:54.820 but my theory
00:36:56.260 they wanted it
00:36:57.360 to devolve
00:36:57.860 so badly
00:36:58.780 that they just said
00:37:00.200 we'll wait
00:37:00.620 and we'll wait
00:37:01.140 and we'll wait
00:37:01.620 and something bad
00:37:02.400 will happen
00:37:02.840 and when it didn't happen
00:37:03.900 and they just got
00:37:04.920 absolutely embarrassed
00:37:05.980 and mocked
00:37:06.560 on the international scene
00:37:07.520 and this started generating
00:37:08.800 spin-off movements
00:37:09.960 across the world
00:37:10.700 they said
00:37:11.320 my goodness
00:37:11.660 we gotta put an end to it
00:37:12.600 how do we do that?
00:37:13.920 Let's go to our
00:37:14.460 state-sponsored media
00:37:15.280 let's pretend that
00:37:16.140 let's go back to those
00:37:17.020 alleged Nazi flags
00:37:18.260 and confederate flags
00:37:19.180 of which there were only
00:37:20.420 one each
00:37:21.440 on day one
00:37:22.600 both asked to leave
00:37:24.180 never to be repeated
00:37:25.120 they go back to the media
00:37:26.180 say
00:37:26.400 make this into something
00:37:27.880 outrageous
00:37:28.420 so that we can justify
00:37:29.200 using the Emergencies Act
00:37:30.160 they did it
00:37:30.960 and even in the violent
00:37:32.640 crackdown to end it
00:37:33.640 they did not provoke
00:37:34.500 the response
00:37:35.020 that they wanted to provoke
00:37:35.920 from those peaceful protesters
00:37:37.000 but it wasn't just
00:37:38.920 the Canadian government
00:37:39.920 ignoring the protests
00:37:41.780 it's also the mainstream media
00:37:43.800 particularly in the UK
00:37:45.040 I can't talk for the US
00:37:47.000 but it was impossible
00:37:48.540 to find this story
00:37:50.000 anywhere
00:37:50.700 and it was only covered
00:37:52.500 in a few outlets
00:37:54.740 and when they did cover it
00:37:56.100 it was biased
00:37:57.420 no
00:37:58.020 always the same
00:37:59.800 the same stories
00:38:00.680 if you stand with
00:38:01.940 Nazi flags
00:38:02.680 and confederate flags
00:38:03.700 and people who
00:38:04.520 desecrate the war monuments
00:38:05.840 everybody out there
00:38:07.180 needs to understand this
00:38:08.560 and if you don't trust me
00:38:09.820 you can go watch
00:38:10.600 40 hours of live stream
00:38:11.600 there was exactly
00:38:13.240 one image
00:38:14.200 of an individual
00:38:15.020 carrying a Nazi flag
00:38:16.100 and one image
00:38:17.240 of an individual
00:38:17.800 carrying a confederate flag
00:38:19.160 who for whatever the reason
00:38:20.280 was the only individual
00:38:21.500 there wearing a full face mask
00:38:23.000 with sunglasses
00:38:23.940 he was asked to leave
00:38:25.440 and I know the individual
00:38:26.440 who asked him to leave
00:38:27.380 personally
00:38:27.920 the guy with the Nazi flag
00:38:29.300 on the outskirts
00:38:30.920 of the protest
00:38:31.540 and just happened
00:38:32.860 to have a professional
00:38:34.180 photographer
00:38:34.720 three feet from him
00:38:35.760 with a $3,000 cannon rig
00:38:37.820 to snap the wonderful image
00:38:39.180 and those lying politicians
00:38:40.900 ran with those two
00:38:42.560 singular images
00:38:43.600 to paint the narrative
00:38:45.080 that this was a racist 0.98
00:38:46.900 Nazi white supremacist 1.00
00:38:48.740 overthrow the government 0.96
00:38:49.860 insurrection protest
00:38:50.860 and that's all the media ran with
00:38:52.520 and it was mind blowing
00:38:55.060 even when the media
00:38:56.140 was live streaming
00:38:57.820 or live reporting
00:38:58.620 on the crackdown
00:38:59.700 and they literally see
00:39:01.540 police officers
00:39:02.660 kneeing protesters
00:39:04.720 like they 0.81
00:39:05.540 like you'd think
00:39:06.440 that they were trying
00:39:07.000 to soften up
00:39:07.640 a bag of hay
00:39:08.440 the reporters like
00:39:10.960 well we're watching
00:39:11.840 a couple of arrests live
00:39:13.220 and it's like
00:39:13.520 no that's not an arrest
00:39:14.760 what you're watching
00:39:15.400 you're watching
00:39:16.040 a piece
00:39:16.540 you're watching
00:39:17.100 a policeman
00:39:17.760 assault a peaceful
00:39:19.040 protester
00:39:19.600 so the coverage
00:39:21.460 was so limited
00:39:22.280 so tainted
00:39:23.240 so skewed
00:39:24.180 but it is exactly
00:39:25.280 what you would expect
00:39:26.220 when you're talking
00:39:27.100 about fascism
00:39:27.840 from the media
00:39:29.100 that is paid
00:39:29.940 by the government
00:39:30.600 on whom they are
00:39:31.360 supposed to report
00:39:32.060 I mean basically
00:39:32.880 imagine someone
00:39:33.420 who's supposed
00:39:34.280 to criticize
00:39:34.780 their employer
00:39:35.400 it won't happen
00:39:36.120 David it's an interesting
00:39:38.180 point you make
00:39:38.760 we're going to go
00:39:39.240 to the Q&A
00:39:39.880 in a few minutes
00:39:40.580 and guys remember
00:39:41.580 if you want to send
00:39:42.360 in a super chat
00:39:43.060 or a PayPal
00:39:43.600 that's the best way
00:39:44.400 to get your question
00:39:45.160 asked
00:39:45.420 but David
00:39:46.280 there's something
00:39:46.820 that strikes me
00:39:48.720 immediately sitting here
00:39:49.960 in London
00:39:50.440 talking to you
00:39:51.360 which is
00:39:51.940 you know
00:39:52.880 like I have
00:39:53.520 family in Ukraine
00:39:54.260 right now
00:39:54.900 and the situation
00:39:55.600 is happening
00:39:56.020 and they have
00:39:56.600 martial law
00:39:57.360 and I'm going
00:39:58.440 well there's a war
00:39:59.200 going on
00:39:59.720 martial law
00:40:00.400 kind of makes sense
00:40:01.260 like you need to
00:40:02.100 make sure people
00:40:02.780 aren't just walking
00:40:03.400 around getting killed
00:40:04.280 and all that
00:40:04.720 but what we're
00:40:05.900 talking about here
00:40:06.760 and this is the
00:40:07.340 striking thing
00:40:07.960 is we're sitting
00:40:09.000 in London
00:40:09.440 where we are now
00:40:10.520 completely free
00:40:11.380 all restrictions
00:40:12.500 lifted
00:40:13.000 no
00:40:13.660 we came close
00:40:14.960 to considering
00:40:15.880 vaccine mandates
00:40:17.680 and vaccine passports
00:40:18.760 but it didn't happen
00:40:19.640 right
00:40:20.200 and it's been
00:40:21.100 a few months
00:40:21.660 since the
00:40:23.000 Omicron wave
00:40:24.260 started
00:40:24.720 and now we're
00:40:26.000 completely free
00:40:26.700 right
00:40:27.260 the numbers in hospitals
00:40:29.100 are down
00:40:29.720 the number of people
00:40:30.440 catching it
00:40:31.020 is down
00:40:31.320 the number of people
00:40:31.940 seriously ill
00:40:32.640 is way down
00:40:33.660 and our restrictions
00:40:34.960 are gone
00:40:35.480 we're not wearing masks
00:40:36.540 we don't have to
00:40:37.480 none of that
00:40:38.500 and the things
00:40:39.600 that you are describing
00:40:40.680 the dictatorship
00:40:42.000 as you called it
00:40:42.840 and the fascistic
00:40:43.680 tendencies of your government
00:40:45.060 they are in response
00:40:46.880 to the very same thing
00:40:49.260 that we have here
00:40:50.100 in London
00:40:50.520 for which we are
00:40:51.280 taking no action
00:40:52.140 whatsoever
00:40:52.580 and we are fine
00:40:53.900 so what is that
00:40:55.140 all about
00:40:55.620 I mean I don't
00:40:57.260 it's it's a bizarre
00:40:58.380 thing that the government
00:40:59.320 just doubles down
00:41:00.300 on its on its
00:41:01.920 failed policies
00:41:02.740 I mean that's what
00:41:03.180 that's what government
00:41:03.800 does
00:41:04.180 they failed policy
00:41:05.620 you can't admit
00:41:06.460 mistake because
00:41:07.180 admitting mistake
00:41:07.880 in politics
00:41:08.400 is an act of weakness
00:41:09.780 so you got to
00:41:10.580 double down on your
00:41:11.320 failed policy
00:41:11.940 the amazing thing
00:41:13.040 if you were to
00:41:14.440 just you know
00:41:15.040 overlay two graphs
00:41:16.760 of COVID
00:41:17.760 hospitalizations
00:41:18.920 deaths etc
00:41:19.640 if you were to
00:41:20.620 overlay two graphs
00:41:21.540 that of Canada
00:41:22.340 with that of Florida
00:41:23.660 and you would see
00:41:24.820 that with or without
00:41:25.960 the most draconian
00:41:27.200 measures
00:41:27.840 the graph looks
00:41:29.140 pretty much the same
00:41:30.400 you know
00:41:32.100 you might
00:41:33.140 you might think
00:41:34.000 twice about your policies
00:41:35.020 unless you're the government
00:41:35.920 and you've just
00:41:36.500 had this massive
00:41:37.220 two-year power grab
00:41:38.160 and you don't want to
00:41:39.140 give back the rights
00:41:40.420 which have now
00:41:40.960 become privileges
00:41:41.700 so what do you got to do
00:41:42.840 double down
00:41:43.620 double down
00:41:44.580 and then
00:41:45.020 and then shift
00:41:45.700 the
00:41:46.280 shift the attention
00:41:47.760 shift the focus
00:41:48.640 but it's just
00:41:49.600 it's been a cataclysmic
00:41:50.560 failure from day one
00:41:51.480 we now have the reports
00:41:52.980 coming out
00:41:53.380 showing that
00:41:53.940 lockdowns did
00:41:54.740 nothing
00:41:55.380 I won't get into
00:41:57.000 the face masks
00:41:57.620 because I'm not
00:41:58.100 I know my limits
00:41:59.120 but when you overlay
00:42:00.740 the graph of
00:42:01.360 Florida and Canada
00:42:02.780 and you see that
00:42:03.920 it was the same result
00:42:05.220 regardless of what
00:42:06.020 they did
00:42:06.440 a responsible government
00:42:08.280 would say
00:42:08.580 okay fine
00:42:09.040 we thought what we
00:42:10.000 were doing was right
00:42:10.680 and now we're just
00:42:11.180 going to back it all up
00:42:12.040 an irresponsible
00:42:13.680 tyrannical regime 0.82
00:42:14.620 like Justin Trudeau
00:42:15.840 will say
00:42:16.580 we're doubling down
00:42:17.600 we've promised
00:42:19.060 a billion taxpayer dollars
00:42:20.520 to the provinces
00:42:21.380 for this vaccine
00:42:22.080 passport system
00:42:22.880 while the indigenous 1.00
00:42:23.880 peoples up north
00:42:24.820 don't actually have
00:42:25.560 clean drinking water
00:42:26.240 but set that aside
00:42:27.000 and we want to
00:42:29.040 keep going hard
00:42:29.580 so let's demonize
00:42:31.200 this protest
00:42:31.860 let's try to trigger
00:42:33.180 a January 6th
00:42:34.380 type event
00:42:34.820 with these protesters
00:42:35.500 so that we can come down
00:42:36.660 with even more
00:42:37.260 draconian measures
00:42:37.940 the emergencies act
00:42:39.020 when he does that
00:42:40.580 and it doesn't exactly
00:42:41.440 work out as planned
00:42:42.180 and it looks like
00:42:42.680 the senate might have 0.98
00:42:43.500 been ready to vote
00:42:44.400 down the invocation
00:42:45.760 backtrack
00:42:46.940 and just make a total 1.00
00:42:47.980 fool of yourself 0.99
00:42:48.540 and then go focus 0.99
00:42:49.320 on the Ukraine
00:42:49.880 David
00:42:51.460 do you think
00:42:52.660 this marks
00:42:53.360 the end
00:42:54.080 of Trudeau's
00:42:55.600 prime ministerial
00:42:57.000 I forgot the word
00:42:58.820 but
00:42:58.980 prime ministership
00:43:00.420 that's the one
00:43:00.880 do you think
00:43:01.760 this marks
00:43:02.220 the end of his
00:43:02.780 prime ministership
00:43:03.600 or do you think
00:43:04.620 you know
00:43:06.640 that he's going to
00:43:07.480 weather this storm
00:43:08.360 like our own
00:43:09.220 Boris Johnson
00:43:09.860 does with his
00:43:10.480 own shenanigans
00:43:11.300 and that he's
00:43:12.240 just going to
00:43:12.860 carry on
00:43:13.640 I think
00:43:14.800 I did say
00:43:18.380 that this
00:43:19.500 this emergencies act
00:43:20.720 invocation
00:43:21.260 is either going to be
00:43:21.860 the end of Canada
00:43:22.680 politically speaking
00:43:23.500 or it's going to be
00:43:24.300 the end of Trudeau
00:43:25.000 politically speaking
00:43:25.800 I thought Trudeau
00:43:27.240 was done for
00:43:27.820 after the third
00:43:28.980 re-election
00:43:29.880 with a minority
00:43:30.400 government
00:43:30.740 because you can't
00:43:31.880 you can't keep
00:43:32.400 getting re-elected
00:43:33.120 as a minority
00:43:33.480 government
00:43:33.800 and then expect
00:43:34.380 to stay the leader
00:43:34.940 of the party
00:43:35.400 so I thought he was
00:43:36.240 done for back in
00:43:36.920 September
00:43:37.260 but that requires
00:43:38.340 another election
00:43:39.000 this
00:43:39.780 I think
00:43:40.920 he should be
00:43:42.700 regarded as what
00:43:43.840 he is
00:43:44.180 politically toxic
00:43:45.280 any liberal
00:43:46.440 within the party
00:43:47.100 with the slightest
00:43:47.760 aspirations for
00:43:48.760 leadership
00:43:49.100 should see this
00:43:50.160 as the moment
00:43:50.720 to jump on it
00:43:51.740 Trudeau has
00:43:52.940 desecrated our
00:43:54.120 constitution
00:43:54.700 desecrated the
00:43:55.880 rule of law
00:43:56.440 caused
00:43:57.000 if it's not
00:43:58.220 irreparable
00:43:58.740 it's very long
00:43:59.780 lasting harm
00:44:00.760 to Canadian
00:44:01.460 financial institutions
00:44:02.520 to international
00:44:03.980 trust in Canadian
00:44:05.300 financial institutions
00:44:06.320 he's embarrassed
00:44:08.400 everyone in his
00:44:09.300 own party
00:44:09.840 who spent two
00:44:10.920 days debating
00:44:11.960 at the House
00:44:12.580 of Commons
00:44:13.020 the necessity
00:44:13.940 of this
00:44:14.280 emergencies act
00:44:15.040 only so that
00:44:15.840 he could two
00:44:16.300 days later
00:44:16.740 say I'm
00:44:17.540 rescinding it 0.99
00:44:18.120 he made fools 0.89
00:44:19.000 of everyone 0.99
00:44:19.640 in his party
00:44:20.260 everyone in
00:44:20.940 the NDP
00:44:21.360 thank goodness
00:44:22.180 he exposed 1.00
00:44:22.840 the fool 1.00
00:44:23.440 that is Jagmeet 1.00
00:44:24.960 Singh
00:44:25.120 but he should
00:44:26.220 be politically
00:44:27.360 toxic forever
00:44:28.640 and I think
00:44:29.380 it is just a
00:44:29.860 matter of time
00:44:30.380 before either
00:44:31.300 there's a vote
00:44:31.820 of confidence
00:44:32.360 and there's
00:44:32.700 going to be
00:44:32.920 new elections
00:44:33.520 and he's
00:44:34.740 out
00:44:34.960 but I think
00:44:36.280 he is done
00:44:37.540 for and he
00:44:37.940 should be done
00:44:38.400 for politically
00:44:38.900 because he's
00:44:39.820 caused irreparable
00:44:41.060 harm nationally
00:44:42.200 and internationally
00:44:43.000 to Canada
00:44:43.560 and now he gets
00:44:44.580 up and wants
00:44:45.180 to tell Putin
00:44:45.780 about unwarranted
00:44:46.960 aggression in
00:44:47.720 the Ukraine
00:44:48.160 I mean the
00:44:49.080 world's not 0.82
00:44:49.480 stupid 0.98
00:44:49.860 the people 1.00
00:44:50.660 learn from
00:44:51.180 people follow
00:44:52.220 the example
00:44:52.700 and when they
00:44:53.040 know that you
00:44:53.500 no longer have
00:44:54.020 any moral
00:44:54.520 authority or
00:44:55.040 moral standing
00:44:55.700 to take such
00:44:56.600 positions
00:44:57.000 they're going
00:44:57.640 to feel
00:44:57.880 empowered to
00:44:58.420 do similar
00:44:58.820 things
00:44:59.160 so it should
00:45:00.960 be the end
00:45:01.320 of him
00:45:01.580 politically
00:45:02.100 and I think
00:45:02.960 it will be
00:45:03.340 it's just
00:45:03.760 going to take
00:45:04.080 a few more
00:45:04.580 weeks or
00:45:05.120 months to
00:45:05.440 pan out
00:45:05.880 you make a
00:45:06.940 good point
00:45:07.340 and it's a
00:45:07.720 point particularly
00:45:08.180 about Ukraine
00:45:08.680 I've been
00:45:09.040 making for
00:45:09.640 for some
00:45:10.160 time now
00:45:10.640 about the
00:45:11.020 West's
00:45:11.400 moral authority
00:45:12.060 and how
00:45:12.360 much we
00:45:12.700 undermine it
00:45:13.340 when we
00:45:13.700 fail to
00:45:14.600 adhere to
00:45:15.120 our own
00:45:15.600 values
00:45:16.000 but David
00:45:17.140 it's been
00:45:17.400 brilliant
00:45:17.660 we've been
00:45:18.100 chatting for
00:45:18.680 an hour
00:45:19.000 it's flown
00:45:19.500 by
00:45:19.820 I really
00:45:20.760 want to
00:45:21.200 get as
00:45:21.540 many of
00:45:21.920 our audience
00:45:22.380 questions in
00:45:23.020 as possible
00:45:23.480 so guys
00:45:24.000 send them
00:45:24.900 in and
00:45:25.400 in a couple
00:45:25.940 of minutes
00:45:26.300 time we
00:45:27.060 will address
00:45:27.480 and we're
00:45:27.680 going to
00:45:27.860 take a
00:45:28.180 quick

00:45:29.300 back in
00:45:29.580 a couple
00:45:29.840 of minutes

00:45:33.300 far
00:45:57.860 I'm going
00:45:58.380 to ignore
00:45:58.740 that
00:45:59.020 the lawnmower
00:45:59.780 has a
00:46:00.240 cutting-edge
00:46:00.980 ceramic blade
00:46:01.920 which reduces
00:46:02.740 the risk of
00:46:03.480 having an
00:46:03.920 accident
00:46:04.260 where you
00:46:05.040 least want
00:46:05.780 an accident
00:46:06.380 my bank
00:46:07.000 account

00:46:58.960 welcome back
00:46:59.840 we're going
00:47:00.260 to ask
00:47:00.840 your questions
00:47:01.640 of Viva
00:47:02.000 Freight
00:47:02.320 let's bring
00:47:02.860 him back
00:47:03.320 in
00:47:03.540 Anton
00:47:03.920 here we
00:47:04.620 go
00:47:04.860 we've got
00:47:05.280 a bunch
00:47:05.560 of stuff
00:47:05.880 coming in
00:47:06.380 let's fire
00:47:07.160 away
00:47:07.500 so the
00:47:08.200 first one
00:47:08.740 is a very
00:47:09.220 good question
00:47:09.760 and it's
00:47:10.060 from SK
00:47:10.480 and they
00:47:11.320 ask quick
00:47:11.800 question for
00:47:12.500 Viva
00:47:12.800 do you think
00:47:13.860 conservatism
00:47:14.700 is on the
00:47:15.260 rise in
00:47:15.860 Canada
00:47:16.200 after the
00:47:17.500 catastrophic
00:47:18.300 Trudeau
00:47:19.000 government
00:47:19.460 I don't
00:47:20.720 know what
00:47:21.060 conservatism
00:47:21.820 means anymore
00:47:22.460 but if I
00:47:23.080 think do I
00:47:23.940 think that
00:47:24.760 people who
00:47:25.500 support freedom
00:47:26.240 of speech
00:47:26.780 oppose censorship
00:47:28.060 and believe
00:47:29.660 that constitutional
00:47:30.700 rights should
00:47:31.880 have some value
00:47:32.820 is on the
00:47:33.320 rise yes
00:47:34.440 and I hope
00:47:35.040 so I do
00:47:35.900 also unfortunately
00:47:36.940 think that what
00:47:37.700 I see on the
00:47:38.180 rise are people
00:47:38.780 thinking everything
00:47:40.280 is justified if
00:47:41.280 it's purportedly
00:47:41.900 for the greater
00:47:42.400 good so your
00:47:43.700 your freedom of
00:47:45.160 mobility can be
00:47:46.660 you know whisked
00:47:48.160 away like that if
00:47:49.260 it's for the
00:47:49.580 greater good my
00:47:50.740 only response to
00:47:51.440 that is the
00:47:52.960 individual rights
00:47:53.820 is the greater
00:47:54.720 good and to
00:47:55.480 quote Ayn Rand
00:47:56.200 there is no
00:47:57.240 minority smaller
00:47:58.060 than the
00:47:58.320 individual and if
00:47:59.220 you don't support
00:47:59.780 individual rights
00:48:00.560 you basically don't
00:48:01.520 support minority
00:48:02.100 rights whatsoever
00:48:02.900 just to just to
00:48:05.200 add to that
00:48:05.720 question do you
00:48:06.340 not worry that
00:48:07.380 I've used the
00:48:08.560 phrase Pandora's
00:48:09.540 box before do
00:48:11.100 you not worry that
00:48:11.820 we've opened the
00:48:12.440 Pandora's box here
00:48:13.540 and that now it's
00:48:14.840 just going to be
00:48:15.360 another government
00:48:16.100 tool well I
00:48:18.120 am worried about
00:48:18.740 that I mean like
00:48:19.060 it's exactly what
00:48:19.940 we saw or it's
00:48:21.000 analogous to what
00:48:21.720 we saw happen in
00:48:22.420 the United States
00:48:23.080 with the impeachment
00:48:24.060 proceedings you
00:48:24.960 know these these
00:48:25.820 exceptional laws
00:48:27.140 these exceptional
00:48:27.880 recourses that
00:48:28.800 destabilize governments
00:48:31.060 and nations
00:48:31.760 themselves they're
00:48:32.880 supposed to be
00:48:33.480 limited to the
00:48:34.440 most egregious
00:48:35.340 exceptional
00:48:35.920 circumstances
00:48:36.700 declaring the
00:48:38.120 the emergencies
00:48:39.140 act is the it
00:48:40.720 followed the war
00:48:41.640 measures act
00:48:42.200 invoking the war
00:48:43.280 measures act
00:48:43.780 was supposed to
00:48:44.320 be done during
00:48:44.820 an act of during
00:48:45.780 war during some
00:48:46.820 form of absolute
00:48:47.880 unquestionable
00:48:48.940 national crisis if
00:48:50.260 it's questionable
00:48:50.860 it's probably not
00:48:52.120 going to satisfy
00:48:52.680 it if the
00:48:53.460 impeachment is
00:48:54.380 supposed to you
00:48:55.080 know it's supposed
00:48:55.640 to have been
00:48:55.960 sacred and it was
00:48:57.200 just it was just
00:48:58.420 whored out it was 0.98
00:48:59.180 it was it was
00:48:59.660 bastardized in its
00:49:00.540 application to the
00:49:01.240 point where now
00:49:01.620 it's like hey
00:49:02.120 well it's it's just
00:49:03.040 another tool of
00:49:03.740 government the
00:49:04.660 emergencies act
00:49:05.540 likewise was never
00:49:07.180 supposed to be just
00:49:07.920 another tool in the
00:49:09.180 box it was supposed
00:49:10.300 to be the only break
00:49:11.960 in case of emergencies
00:49:12.820 acts above the box
00:49:14.660 and Justin Trudeau
00:49:15.980 after three weeks of
00:49:17.060 failed leadership
00:49:17.720 demonizing good
00:49:18.680 peace-loving
00:49:19.160 Canadians so
00:49:20.160 time to time to
00:49:21.300 break out the axe
00:49:22.140 when I haven't even
00:49:23.280 used the toolbox
00:49:24.000 it's a really good
00:49:25.980 point now we've got a
00:49:26.820 slightly lighter-hearted
00:49:27.780 question from with the
00:49:29.180 five Canadian dollars
00:49:30.180 it says Viva I love
00:49:31.020 your spirit I just
00:49:32.260 wanted to confirm if
00:49:33.280 you are indeed the
00:49:34.060 love child of Richard
00:49:34.960 Gere and Geraldo
00:49:36.060 Rivera I have gotten
00:49:37.700 Richard Gere as a
00:49:38.760 younger person when my
00:49:39.760 hair was shorter I've
00:49:40.940 gotten Richard Gere
00:49:41.540 never seen it Geraldo
00:49:42.740 Rivera I can sort of
00:49:43.840 understand with the
00:49:45.000 facial hair but I am
00:49:46.320 not I am the love
00:49:47.380 child since that was
00:49:50.560 a quick one I'll do
00:49:51.340 another sort of
00:49:52.120 slightly light-hearted
00:49:52.940 one there is everyone
00:49:54.040 why is everyone banging
00:49:55.100 on about Justin Trudeau
00:49:56.500 being Castro's son I
00:49:57.720 don't get it and some
00:49:59.220 yeah but anyway it's
00:50:01.840 uncanny but you have to 0.70
00:50:02.660 be careful with those
00:50:03.180 images it's very easy to
00:50:04.460 slightly alter to make
00:50:05.660 things look more like
00:50:06.720 them but the bottom
00:50:07.600 line Trudeau's mother
00:50:09.020 had a history a known
00:50:10.540 history and she had a
00:50:11.600 known history with with
00:50:12.560 Castro as well there
00:50:14.760 okay perfect and Icky Ike
00:50:16.400 says he sort of makes
00:50:18.860 that joke initially but
00:50:19.920 he's got a serious
00:50:20.520 question at the end of
00:50:21.360 it he says do you think
00:50:22.040 that Justin Castro as he
00:50:23.580 put it he's finally
00:50:24.540 following in his father's
00:50:25.940 Cubanadian footsteps just 0.80
00:50:28.580 to ignore that part of
00:50:29.440 it I think you've
00:50:29.940 addressed it but he what
00:50:31.260 he asks it was a more
00:50:32.620 serious question is are
00:50:34.120 more authoritarian moves
00:50:35.340 coming up do you think
00:50:36.260 well I don't think so I
00:50:37.440 think he's I think Trudeau
00:50:39.600 really I don't know if
00:50:41.020 jumped the shark is the
00:50:42.020 right expression he really
00:50:43.080 crossed the line here and
00:50:44.640 I and even when civil
00:50:45.840 rights associations in
00:50:47.120 Canada that are
00:50:48.020 traditionally you know
00:50:49.700 more more left than
00:50:50.840 left announced their
00:50:52.400 filing suit you know he's
00:50:54.960 gone too far and I just
00:50:56.340 read in the chat
00:50:56.880 apparently if Tamara 0.63
00:50:58.160 Litch the organizer who's
00:51:00.100 been held in jail for
00:51:01.520 going on a week for
00:51:02.460 mischief charges if it is
00:51:04.800 in fact true that she
00:51:05.480 has another hearing on
00:51:06.320 Monday I think that's
00:51:07.980 earlier than when they
00:51:08.680 initially said they were
00:51:09.700 going to have one now I
00:51:11.060 think everybody's starting
00:51:11.700 to feel the pressure here
00:51:12.540 because they crossed the
00:51:13.600 line with this and
00:51:14.660 everybody I think
00:51:15.580 understands that it's
00:51:17.240 arguable whether or not
00:51:18.180 what Justin Trudeau did in
00:51:19.960 terms of freezing bank
00:51:21.060 accounts with no court
00:51:22.180 order no no no
00:51:24.760 probable cause no due
00:51:25.900 process it's arguable
00:51:27.380 whether or not that
00:51:28.000 caused a run on the
00:51:28.760 banks which is why he
00:51:29.720 also felt pressure to
00:51:30.640 rescind this but I think
00:51:32.800 everybody appreciates what
00:51:33.760 he did really caused a
00:51:35.680 very big tear in the
00:51:36.760 fabric of Canadian society
00:51:38.040 and Canadian economy
00:51:39.240 that they have to now
00:51:40.740 start pulling back and
00:51:41.780 stitching up and not not
00:51:42.940 not tearing further
00:51:44.260 David James Robinson
00:51:47.440 asked does Viva think the
00:51:49.560 current Russia Ukraine
00:51:50.440 crisis is going to give
00:51:52.340 Trudeau enough cover in
00:51:54.440 brackets distraction to get
00:51:56.620 away with what he did
00:51:57.840 they're gonna the media is
00:52:00.000 certainly going to do it
00:52:00.880 and help him help him do
00:52:02.140 it but no I mean the
00:52:03.740 thing is also there is an
00:52:05.040 element of the Canadian
00:52:06.160 subsidized media that is
00:52:07.500 even turning on Trudeau but
00:52:09.180 it's got to get so
00:52:09.980 politically popular that
00:52:11.600 they can call it out for
00:52:12.720 what it is the media across
00:52:14.540 the globe are going to
00:52:15.400 focus on the Ukraine Russia
00:52:16.540 conflict they're going to
00:52:17.300 hype it up as much as they
00:52:18.300 can because it's good for
00:52:19.080 their business but I think
00:52:21.860 unfortunately for Trudeau
00:52:23.220 that the the independent
00:52:25.500 press with broader reach
00:52:27.680 and more influence than
00:52:29.540 legacy media are not going to
00:52:31.320 forget it and they're not
00:52:32.380 going to let up on it and
00:52:33.500 it's not going to go away
00:52:34.340 anytime soon and and I
00:52:35.440 and I think no that this
00:52:37.260 will be a temporary
00:52:38.260 distraction but at the end
00:52:39.400 of the day he there will be
00:52:41.000 political accounts that will
00:52:42.100 be held for what for what
00:52:44.020 they just did here and on on
00:52:47.060 on a similar subject June
00:52:48.400 Hope says is it legal to act
00:52:50.460 on a policy that's not law and
00:52:52.040 hasn't been ratified i.e.
00:52:53.760 freezing bank accounts was
00:52:55.000 that in your assessment if
00:52:57.400 there is ever an investigation
00:52:58.740 into or some kind of court
00:53:00.480 hearing about it will that
00:53:02.400 be found to to be
00:53:03.760 unconstitutional and unlawful
00:53:05.520 in Canada so no legal
00:53:07.540 advice this is my own
00:53:08.640 personal opinion because I've
00:53:10.220 stated it already it's it was
00:53:11.900 absolutely unjustified to
00:53:13.760 have invoked the emergencies
00:53:14.680 act it did not meet any of
00:53:15.960 the criteria I believe any
00:53:17.620 reasonably objective court would
00:53:20.740 strike down the declaration of
00:53:23.000 the emergencies act now a
00:53:24.880 separate this is again this is
00:53:26.300 not even legal advice these are
00:53:27.420 just questions that I would be
00:53:28.720 asking as a lawyer and
00:53:30.900 potentially as someone whose
00:53:32.260 bank account might have been
00:53:33.220 frozen the emergencies act
00:53:35.500 a declaration and the
00:53:36.820 directives that Trudeau wanted
00:53:38.420 to implement under the
00:53:39.420 declaration which needed to
00:53:41.140 get approved by both the
00:53:42.600 house of commons and the
00:53:43.640 senate within seven sitting
00:53:45.060 days of declaring the
00:53:46.120 emergencies act it never got
00:53:47.980 ratified he he rescinded it
00:53:50.040 before it could either get
00:53:50.920 ratified or struck down by the
00:53:52.260 senate so the question is it's
00:53:54.400 nice that the government
00:53:55.160 promises immunity to banks who
00:53:57.760 carry out these objectives
00:53:58.840 after pressure from the
00:53:59.800 government but if the
00:54:00.960 declaration was never ratified I
00:54:02.800 would ask myself and possibly a
00:54:05.200 court whether or not their
00:54:06.680 immunity was ever conferred and
00:54:08.880 if it wasn't they might not be
00:54:10.440 immune for having arbitrarily
00:54:12.380 unilaterally in the absence of a
00:54:14.060 court order with no due process
00:54:15.900 frozen bank accounts at the
00:54:18.340 direction and behest of the
00:54:19.520 government itself it's arguable
00:54:21.220 whether or not they actually
00:54:22.480 benefit from immunity and I
00:54:24.480 would I would look to the
00:54:25.320 courts to question that and to
00:54:26.500 provide an answer for that but
00:54:27.340 that's a question I would be
00:54:28.220 asking because it's a real
00:54:29.360 question and following on from
00:54:31.500 that Texas Terry asked will
00:54:33.400 protesters in Canada continue to
00:54:35.660 be subject to financial
00:54:37.040 penalties including frozen bank
00:54:38.800 accounts because there's a lot
00:54:40.560 of them who have just paid a
00:54:41.520 one-off payment I think was it
00:54:43.380 after February the 15th and will
00:54:48.020 they continue to face penalties do
00:54:49.720 you think or will this you know
00:54:51.420 gradually go away well so the as
00:54:53.760 far as I understand the bank
00:54:55.840 accounts that were frozen there
00:54:57.100 were 206 of them apparently
00:54:59.340 according to Christian Freeland
00:55:00.540 206 accounts were arbitrarily
00:55:02.920 frozen they consisted of the
00:55:05.360 organizers of the protest and truck
00:55:07.700 drivers or people who parked
00:55:09.140 their car on Wellington so I
00:55:10.340 presume they took pictures of
00:55:11.220 license plates went to the banks
00:55:12.700 and said freeze the accounts my
00:55:14.140 understanding is the accounts
00:55:15.160 have been unfrozen and I've had
00:55:17.460 discussions with two organizers
00:55:18.940 or two people involved in the
00:55:21.140 protest who have had their bank
00:55:23.020 accounts unfrozen now so I don't
00:55:25.420 think there's going to be any more
00:55:26.300 freezing of account I think that
00:55:27.540 caused a very serious problem both
00:55:29.740 in terms of a potential bank run
00:55:31.180 and just international confidence in
00:55:33.320 the Canadian banking system now they
00:55:34.700 work at the behest of the
00:55:35.640 government with immunity but as far
00:55:38.360 as the other charges go yeah
00:55:39.480 everyone who faced charges
00:55:40.560 everyone who got charged with
00:55:41.360 mischief obstruction whatever those
00:55:43.820 are criminal charges that they're
00:55:44.820 going to have to deal with I don't
00:55:46.680 think they're going to get revoked by
00:55:49.280 the issuing authorities but I mean
00:55:52.040 we'll see how the courts come down
00:55:53.380 on these things because some of
00:55:54.500 these mischief charges
00:55:55.400 when the when the coronavirus hit
00:56:01.140 covid hit the UK and restrictions
00:56:04.200 were put in the first thing our
00:56:06.620 government did is say oh you don't
00:56:08.180 want to use cash we're not going to
00:56:09.920 use cash because that's person to
00:56:11.980 person transaction and the virus can
00:56:14.200 be spread with the cash and blah blah
00:56:16.500 blah we're going to get rid of cash
00:56:17.720 everything's on card now immediately
00:56:20.100 my head my the alarm in my head went
00:56:23.400 off because I went hang on a second
00:56:24.920 that's just another way for you to
00:56:26.560 track us that's another way for you to
00:56:28.360 control us and actually once you've
00:56:31.500 become wholly reliant on a bank
00:56:33.020 account all they need to do is freeze
00:56:34.700 it and then you're done there's
00:56:35.840 nothing you can do you can't go
00:56:37.600 anywhere that you don't have access to
00:56:39.800 cash people don't understand how
00:56:43.100 dangerous this is have they got rid of
00:56:46.000 cash in Canada and do you think that
00:56:48.620 this was part of a strategy so they
00:56:51.140 haven't gotten rid of cash in Canada
00:56:52.740 people don't appreciate how vulnerable
00:56:56.500 they are until it happens to them but
00:56:59.020 then they you know they reassure
00:57:00.060 themselves well I'd never be I'd never
00:57:01.980 occupy downtown Ottawa so do it to them
00:57:04.560 and they deserve it because I'd never
00:57:05.980 be there yeah wait until the government
00:57:08.000 next government doesn't like BLM 0.76
00:57:09.380 protests and they say oh you were at a
00:57:10.720 BLM protests frozen bank accounts good
00:57:12.860 luck paying your mortgage good luck
00:57:14.140 buying food it's a human rights
00:57:15.520 violation in my opinion because you are
00:57:17.140 effectively trying to starve a person
00:57:18.640 to death and that's what they tried to
00:57:19.940 do with the protests they tried to
00:57:21.400 freeze them out starve them out
00:57:22.920 physically by you know not allowing
00:57:24.420 them to bring gas into for their
00:57:26.040 trucks and then when it was over they
00:57:28.420 tried to basically financially ruin and
00:57:30.840 effectively starve and remove from
00:57:32.500 society the people whose bank
00:57:34.300 accounts they froze it's dangerous the
00:57:37.200 precedent is there and worse than that
00:57:39.000 I think the government you know tried
00:57:40.760 to push forward some legislation which
00:57:42.560 would expand the powers of thin track
00:57:44.440 which is like some it's a way of
00:57:45.980 tracking foreign money that some people
00:57:48.940 hypothesize that that was the end game
00:57:50.680 and they might have gotten away with
00:57:51.900 that we'll see but people are now very
00:57:54.980 sensitive to the fact that you know
00:57:56.880 it's nice to have a bank card it's nice
00:57:58.340 to have a credit card with money in your
00:57:59.620 account but now that we've just seen
00:58:01.360 the government can come in overnight with
00:58:03.260 no court order freeze it all people
00:58:06.120 realize now that they're vulnerable and
00:58:07.560 maybe people are waking up to I'm not
00:58:09.820 going to go with the cryptocurrency
00:58:10.640 stuff because I still don't understand
00:58:11.880 it but valuing cash and valuing not
00:58:15.380 having all your eggs in one bank
00:58:16.780 basket yeah you're right and you know
00:58:19.120 it was genuinely because you know you
00:58:21.800 read the stories and you don't quite it
00:58:23.480 doesn't hit you but we do these calls
00:58:25.220 with our top supporters and one of them
00:58:27.100 she sent a hundred bucks to these
00:58:29.620 protesters and she said she spent the
00:58:32.500 whole time basically being terrified
00:58:34.100 because she's a single retired person 0.90
00:58:37.360 no friends or family nearby her income
00:58:40.700 is a pension and she basically was in a 0.85
00:58:44.400 position where if the government or the
00:58:46.120 bank had decided to freeze her she's 1.00
00:58:48.680 literally going to starve to death right
00:58:50.440 and yeah well it's a trust and they knew
00:58:54.120 it with these truckers they have a
00:58:55.800 community so you know there's a community
00:58:57.460 that helped them get through the week
00:58:58.800 where their bank accounts were frozen but
00:59:00.180 I said at the time you know like some of
00:59:03.280 these measures were unconstitutional but
00:59:05.120 the idea of retroactively criminalizing
00:59:07.320 behavior which was not criminal at the
00:59:09.080 time it was conducted which would have
00:59:10.680 been the donations to a federally
00:59:12.640 incorporated registered not-for-profit I
00:59:15.600 mean the idea to retroactively criminalize
00:59:17.680 anyone who donated to what the government
00:59:19.740 recognized and and certified as a not-for-
00:59:22.640 profit would have been over the top and
00:59:24.760 it would have violated another provision of
00:59:26.360 our charter section 11g which says you can
00:59:29.340 only be convicted of a crime if at the
00:59:31.300 time of the act or omission it was
00:59:33.860 illegal so I was never quite as concerned
00:59:36.680 about that but I understand that people
00:59:39.280 were and that people were making a run on
00:59:41.280 the banks I've been told I just had no
00:59:43.120 definitive evidence you know I never had
00:59:45.400 the bank say you can't take out money but
00:59:47.180 I've heard people say but yeah it's it's
00:59:49.400 it instills terror in the citizens which
00:59:51.860 might have been the goal but it
00:59:53.400 destabilizes the financial and economic
00:59:55.620 system itself on a national and
00:59:57.780 international level who's going to want
00:59:59.580 to do business with Canadian banks going
01:00:01.340 forward they can freeze your account
01:00:03.240 they can ask for information on your
01:00:04.960 clients who's going to want to do
01:00:06.640 business with Canada I mean very much on
01:00:08.800 this point David very much on this point
01:00:10.480 Robin still says can you can you explain
01:00:13.200 the exact damage these bank freezing
01:00:15.260 banks freezing accounts etc caused to
01:00:17.720 Canada relative to the international
01:00:19.400 community you alluded to it earlier but I
01:00:21.760 think a lot of us who are not you know
01:00:23.300 fully into the law of this and also the
01:00:25.300 financial relations between banks in
01:00:27.540 different countries what will be the
01:00:29.420 impact for Canada and the Canadian
01:00:31.740 financial system out of everything
01:00:33.640 that's happened I mean it's it's tough
01:00:35.520 to measure but if you're a business
01:00:37.580 person looking to do business in Canada
01:00:39.320 and you might be conservatively aligned
01:00:41.100 you might be the my pillow guy are you
01:00:42.700 going to want to open up a bank account
01:00:43.880 and do business in Canada now is any
01:00:46.940 foreign country going to look at Canada
01:00:48.620 like a beacon of democracy or are they
01:00:50.860 going to look at it as a as a symbol of
01:00:53.740 the same tyranny you'd see in North Korea 0.84
01:00:55.680 nobody's running to invest in North
01:00:57.040 Korea because when the government can 0.91
01:00:58.620 just usurp your assets with no court
01:01:01.420 order no nothing and then immunize the
01:01:03.840 federally regulated institutions for
01:01:05.660 their conduct who in their right mind
01:01:07.460 would do that so the damages it's it's
01:01:10.540 immeasurable but it's also intangible but
01:01:13.120 it's very real and it's why I think there
01:01:15.240 has to be very serious political blowback
01:01:17.920 for this because this precedent needs to
01:01:20.080 be struck down and shun upon going
01:01:23.060 forward otherwise it's good that Trudeau
01:01:25.040 did it and didn't get away with it but
01:01:26.880 if the rest of Canadian politicians say
01:01:28.540 it's it's something we're prepared to
01:01:30.140 accept well Canada can enjoy being
01:01:32.180 relegated to a second tier nation when
01:01:34.920 it comes to stability for financial
01:01:36.880 investments and business going forward
01:01:38.720 setting aside the whole constitution
01:01:40.360 side things have you got a question
01:01:43.260 no because I can do another one quickly
01:01:45.060 so by the way a lot of love for you in
01:01:47.660 the chat and in the messages there was 0.99
01:01:51.000 one person said I was full of shit and I 0.99
01:01:52.300 genuinely want to know what I said I 0.99
01:01:54.620 need evidence not accusation so if I
01:01:56.300 yeah but unless he sends us money we're 0.98
01:01:58.100 not reading out his fucking question 0.99
01:01:59.640 I'm kidding no we always love people to 0.99
01:02:04.460 challenge what we are saying or the
01:02:05.820 guests are saying so if people want to
01:02:07.220 push back against things that are being
01:02:09.220 said and send us a message we'll happily
01:02:10.680 read that out but what I was saying was
01:02:12.680 there's also a lot of support somebody
01:02:14.300 says you should be appointed to the
01:02:16.100 Canadian Senate the the question that I
01:02:19.200 think worries all of us as creators
01:02:21.300 online people who cover this stuff and
01:02:23.100 who who sometimes take a heterodox view
01:02:25.640 of things this was from homemade
01:02:27.780 creative who sent us some money on
01:02:29.260 PayPal says do you expect Trudeau's
01:02:31.240 government to try to crack down on
01:02:32.880 disinformation by working with big tech
01:02:35.360 to shut down dissent i.e. your live
01:02:37.420 streams on YouTube no well I still
01:02:41.140 believe in the Streisand effect so you
01:02:42.740 know good good luck doing something
01:02:44.280 that's so egregious that there's a
01:02:45.760 sufficient network of lawyers out there
01:02:47.500 who would fight it legally influencers
01:02:49.880 who would fight it on social media
01:02:51.360 they're trying to do it in a more
01:02:53.140 insidious way and it's we've been
01:02:54.460 talking about it it's either bill C-10
01:02:56.920 or C it's one of these bills I forget I
01:02:59.060 think it's C-10 which was to regulate
01:03:01.040 the internet under the broadcast act and
01:03:04.400 to regulate the internet the way the
01:03:05.740 government currently regulates television
01:03:07.440 and radio and so there was this move to
01:03:10.180 put forward this bill chat can correct me I
01:03:12.540 think it's bill C-10 but it was to treat
01:03:15.640 online platforms if they're sufficiently
01:03:18.660 broadcast ish to treat them like
01:03:20.860 broadcasters under the broadcast act and
01:03:23.800 to create all these these these these
01:03:26.180 onerous government obligations in terms
01:03:29.100 of content being Canadian you know fines
01:03:32.020 yada yada they wanted to do that and that
01:03:34.440 the law that that draft or the what is it
01:03:37.680 called the bill made it past the house of
01:03:40.180 commons which is liberal and NDP always
01:03:43.220 looking for another way to control and
01:03:44.720 censor and it there was an election and
01:03:47.780 it didn't make it past the Senate but
01:03:49.500 that's the way they're going to go about
01:03:50.420 doing it they're not going to go down
01:03:51.520 like you know hammer bands and whatever
01:03:54.320 first of all I respect the rules on
01:03:56.580 YouTube I respect the law people don't
01:03:58.620 like the fact that I respect the law so
01:04:00.020 much when I went to the protest I wasn't
01:04:01.780 looking to get into trouble I made sure
01:04:03.620 to get on video every police officer that
01:04:05.860 I asked if I'm allowed to go here
01:04:07.180 because if I'm not I'm not going to fight
01:04:08.840 and I'm not going to sneak in when it
01:04:10.700 comes to YouTube I know the rules I
01:04:12.960 sometimes don't agree with the rules
01:04:14.600 but I respect them so if they want to if
01:04:16.340 they want to try to pick that fight I 1.00
01:04:18.540 think the I've laid the groundwork for a
01:04:21.460 solid opposition legally and influentially
01:04:24.840 influentially I don't know if that's a
01:04:26.600 word but no they're trying they're just
01:04:28.680 trying through the legislative process
01:04:30.360 come down with hate speech laws so Hong 0.98
01:04:33.040 Kong ban it shut down the channel
01:04:35.280 because it violates YouTube's terms of
01:04:36.980 service for hate speech because Hong Kong
01:04:38.620 is now hate speech in Canada regulate
01:04:41.100 channels of a sufficient size call them
01:04:43.600 broadcasters and impose these onerous
01:04:46.000 obligations to stifle their popularity
01:04:49.480 which is merit-based in order to try to
01:04:52.100 push it back to the legacy media which is
01:04:53.860 government induced so there's always the
01:04:57.320 concern we've hedged our bets a lot we're
01:04:59.580 on locals Robert Barnes and I viva
01:05:01.760 barnes law dot locals dot com I'm on
01:05:03.900 rumble as well and rumble is the up and
01:05:06.320 coming competitor free speech competitor
01:05:08.500 of YouTube which is why the legacy
01:05:10.420 media in Canada is going after them so
01:05:12.300 hard but look there's the fear there's
01:05:15.820 the David Mamet expression every fear
01:05:18.000 hides a wish because you know let that
01:05:19.540 let them try to do it it'll only make 0.77
01:05:21.340 the problem worse and then also Donald
01:05:24.280 Trump expression hope for the best plan
01:05:26.160 for the worst so head your bets don't
01:05:27.480 put it all in one basket and on that
01:05:30.480 note Ali Snyder who is a fantastic
01:05:33.000 supporter of trigonometry shout out to
01:05:34.940 Ali goes what gives you hope for the 1.00
01:05:37.380 future of Canada and would you consider
01:05:39.840 running for office again again I'm not
01:05:43.240 sure and I'll tell you why I'm not sure
01:05:45.480 I at one point when I was naive enough
01:05:47.360 to think that I could actually win the
01:05:48.840 night of the election I was like holy
01:05:50.760 crap if I actually win I have to stop
01:05:53.000 doing what I'm doing now I have to go 1.00
01:05:54.840 become a useless wheel in the rusted 0.80
01:05:57.760 machine of government where I'm gonna 0.57
01:05:59.400 like I'm gonna do my best to spin and
01:06:01.460 nothing's gonna happen it's it's what I
01:06:03.880 disliked about the practice of law is
01:06:05.480 it's paper pushing it's a lot of stuff
01:06:07.320 that doesn't ultimately get anywhere and
01:06:08.760 doesn't actually ultimately change
01:06:09.920 anything and you know Pierre Poilievre
01:06:12.180 for all his great speeches conservative
01:06:15.240 party's done nothing to attenuate the
01:06:17.440 the regression of Canada so I was actually
01:06:20.220 the night of I was like what if I what if
01:06:22.100 I might actually win and everything I
01:06:23.840 love doing I can no longer do I think I
01:06:25.760 can be more impactful from the outside
01:06:27.260 and so I'm I might not run again but
01:06:30.280 we'll see never say never and I have to
01:06:31.940 see where I am in the future in any
01:06:33.080 event and hope for Canada that's a tough
01:06:37.280 one because I get very this I feel a lot
01:06:40.000 of despair sometimes seeing good
01:06:42.600 intelligent people say we want this
01:06:45.440 listening to daytime radio ostensibly
01:06:47.880 saying we want this people calling in
01:06:50.020 saying I'm gonna feel unsafe if they
01:06:52.140 don't have vaccine passports at
01:06:53.520 restaurants I don't want to take the
01:06:55.380 masks off everybody's selfish when I
01:06:57.300 have people threatening to you know
01:06:59.100 docks and and and and and ball and
01:07:02.080 harass people who donated to this
01:07:04.100 convoy because some people don't like
01:07:05.760 this charity I don't have much hope for
01:07:08.060 Canada or I won't say the future at
01:07:12.520 large but I get concerned what I think
01:07:15.900 is inspiring in all of this I get a lot
01:07:18.140 of private messages I have a lot of
01:07:19.480 one-on-one conversations with people who
01:07:21.760 have had enough and who see it going in a
01:07:23.920 way that even they don't like sure it
01:07:26.120 took two and a half years to get here
01:07:27.280 but the pendulum swings it does swing
01:07:30.700 and you know there there is the old
01:07:32.720 expression you can vote yourself into
01:07:34.000 tyranny but you have to fight yourself
01:07:35.220 out of it we that that's why I think
01:07:37.600 we're not yet beyond the point of
01:07:39.320 swinging back and it will swing back in
01:07:41.200 my mind it's just a question of how long
01:07:42.560 at what cost and you know will it will
01:07:45.320 it swing far enough back will it swing
01:07:47.420 too far back will you have the same
01:07:48.840 problems on the other end but people are
01:07:51.500 starting to get fed up with it and people
01:07:52.960 are starting to awaken to it this
01:07:55.740 trucker convoy has awakened a lot of
01:07:57.760 people who really did not appreciate how
01:08:00.320 much and the degree to which the media
01:08:02.220 lies so there's that and ultimately it
01:08:05.860 was the most peaceful human rights
01:08:08.400 movement protest in a long time people
01:08:11.580 saw it people got inspired by it so that
01:08:13.800 itself should be inspired inspirational
01:08:15.800 David that this is such a great message
01:08:18.300 to to wrap up on we've had lots of
01:08:20.320 brilliant questions we couldn't quite
01:08:21.600 squeeze all of them in but we do have
01:08:23.820 the question that we always ask all of
01:08:25.800 our guests and you David haven't had
01:08:27.460 advanced warning of this so let's see
01:08:29.800 what you say to this which is what is
01:08:31.440 the one thing we're not talking about
01:08:33.140 as a society and it can be absolutely
01:08:35.720 anything doesn't have to do have to be
01:08:37.920 related to what we've talked about
01:08:39.200 today what is the one thing we're not
01:08:41.120 talking about that we really should be
01:08:42.780 we might okay I like it and by the way
01:08:45.780 just everyone knows I never ask for
01:08:47.080 questions before doing interviews
01:08:48.300 because I like it to be fresh and I
01:08:50.400 think it's disingenuous but the one
01:08:52.400 thing we're not talking about or
01:08:53.480 possibly not talking about enough is
01:08:56.080 parental rights and we're sort of
01:08:58.300 talking about it in Canada but a lot of
01:08:59.820 stuff is slipping under the radar it's
01:09:02.080 it's it's an offshoot of what happens
01:09:03.720 when the government tells you they can
01:09:05.060 lock you in your house they ultimately
01:09:07.000 come in and tell you what you can do
01:09:08.740 with your kids and what you have to do
01:09:10.560 with your kids and the government comes
01:09:12.560 in and thinks in as much as they thought
01:09:14.540 they were the parents of every Canadian
01:09:16.000 over the last two years when Justin
01:09:18.240 Trudeau says we've got your backs we're
01:09:19.960 there to help you when the government
01:09:21.480 thinks they are the parents of adult
01:09:23.900 citizens voting citizens when they start
01:09:27.120 thinking that they are the actual parent
01:09:28.780 of the children of those adult citizens
01:09:30.760 you start getting into very very very
01:09:32.880 dangerous territory and in Quebec they're
01:09:35.900 talking about revoking effectively what's
01:09:39.420 known as parental the supremacy of
01:09:41.580 parental authority basically that parents
01:09:43.920 decide what's best for their kids and not
01:09:45.980 the government and we've seen this envelope
01:09:48.880 being pushed in COVID where you have
01:09:51.500 Trudeau appealing to and reaching out
01:09:54.000 to kids directly you have government
01:09:55.980 messaging saying kids can go get medical
01:09:58.100 interventions without even having to run
01:10:00.120 it by their parents that's what I think
01:10:02.080 people need to start talking about because
01:10:03.400 once the government thinks they know
01:10:04.740 what's best for kids above and beyond the
01:10:06.720 parents saving aside obvious examples of
01:10:09.020 abuse and objective examples of abuse once
01:10:12.140 that happens and once parents no longer
01:10:14.240 I was gonna say own it once parents no
01:10:17.360 longer have the absolute authority over
01:10:19.140 the essential decision-making for their
01:10:21.140 children that's that's a line that you
01:10:23.820 can't come back from so I think people
01:10:25.720 need to be talking about that more in
01:10:26.660 Quebec I don't know if the law was
01:10:28.340 actually passed or the amendment which
01:10:30.400 basically now no longer recognizes the
01:10:32.780 supremacy of parental authority but it's a
01:10:36.320 we've been pushing the envelope as to the
01:10:39.140 uh the government taking over parental
01:10:41.640 responsibilities for kids I appreciate the
01:10:44.140 government has to protect against abuse and
01:10:46.720 the government has to ensure certain basic
01:10:48.240 needs and necessities are met but um I was
01:10:52.220 I gonna say I forgot I forgot the quote that
01:10:53.660 I had but but but yeah we I think we all hear
01:10:56.640 what you're saying which is and look this is a
01:10:58.760 big part of the conversation more broadly
01:11:00.540 about this whole woke agenda which is are your
01:11:04.200 kids being brainwashed from the age of five by
01:11:06.280 the education system and do you have a right
01:11:08.820 to go in and find out what's going on what
01:11:11.280 are they being taught do you have a voice in
01:11:13.460 America there's obviously been a lot of
01:11:15.060 pushback against that I think you're absolutely
01:11:17.200 right to raise that as an issue because you
01:11:19.520 know my wife is we're about to have our first
01:11:21.540 child as I said and you know that's that's
01:11:23.660 probably my biggest concern behind World War
01:11:26.380 Three kicking off where I'm from no no it's it's
01:11:30.160 it's the the indoctrination is I mean it's
01:11:32.420 one thing that so long as you have discussions
01:11:34.920 with your kids and you know what's going on you
01:11:36.500 can have those discussions but when they start
01:11:38.260 you know when you see family law courts taking
01:11:40.880 kids away from parents because the parents
01:11:42.920 didn't do what the court says they have to do in
01:11:44.920 terms of medical intervention when the when that's
01:11:47.940 when it really starts getting dangerously and
01:11:50.460 scarily Orwellian but no I think that the
01:11:53.080 discussion as to parental rights being virtually
01:11:56.800 absolute oh what I was going to say was the
01:11:59.220 government is the necessary evil but you need
01:12:01.320 as little of it as possible so you know the
01:12:03.380 government should be there to protect kids from
01:12:04.680 outright abuse but when it gets into the gray
01:12:07.120 zone of parenting as I say if the government
01:12:08.640 thinks that they have the black and the white
01:12:10.240 answers that trump gray zone parenting well the
01:12:14.380 government is never going to own my kids period 1.00
01:12:16.440 by the way sorry I've been hogging the mic a
01:12:19.280 little bit but since we've we've you've given
01:12:21.340 us some of your time I just one more question
01:12:23.320 for my own indulgence which is the second
01:12:26.940 amendment a lot of people talk in America
01:12:29.280 about how the guarantee of freedom is the
01:12:32.200 second amendment and if if only you know the UK
01:12:35.100 had had the second amendment or Germany had a
01:12:37.500 second amendment or Austria Australia New
01:12:39.440 Zealand Italy France the all of these countries
01:12:42.360 that have implemented these draconian rules at one
01:12:45.320 point or another the government would have been
01:12:47.080 afraid to cross these boundaries but you guys you
01:12:50.080 have guns in Canada you have private gun
01:12:52.140 ownership right no gun ownership in Canada is
01:12:56.100 excessively difficult to obtain and unlicensed
01:13:00.240 firearms are only long arms so hunting rifles
01:13:02.940 because basically in Canada there's no second
01:13:05.040 amendment it's you can own it for hunting and
01:13:07.160 pretty much only for hunting for target practice
01:13:09.580 or for sports not for not for self-defense and not
01:13:13.100 for home defense and small arms you have to have a
01:13:16.340 special license for which is like pistols it's
01:13:18.700 called there's a there's a specific license for small
01:13:21.060 arms which are restricted firearms so we know we have
01:13:24.640 no effective second amendment in Canada and you see the you
01:13:28.700 see the net coming down on that also during the pandemic
01:13:31.740 Justin Trudeau passed what's called an order in council
01:13:34.460 which is no legislative process no debate it's in the
01:13:37.560 regulation itself to ban you know thousands of types of
01:13:41.280 assault rifle firearms you see that net coming down too and
01:13:45.580 that's another interesting progression of my life people say
01:13:49.860 it you know America is what it is because of the second
01:13:52.100 amendment and the government but for the second amendment
01:13:54.540 would have done exactly what Australia did you never know you can't
01:13:57.480 really tell but I have I have grown to appreciate the arguments for
01:14:01.560 second amendment rights especially when you see in Canada that
01:14:05.000 you can't even own firearms for home defense it's it's a bizarre thing
01:14:10.000 where the government strips you of your ability to protect yourself
01:14:13.600 criminalizes your ability to protect yourself and then you know takes
01:14:18.320 political sides that you you can see how things can go south very quickly but
01:14:22.620 no if anyone thinks in Canada we have second amendment anything like the US
01:14:25.560 absolutely not I took the firearm safety course for the long arms it's you
01:14:29.440 have to take a two-day course you have to pass a test if you want to
01:14:33.340 acquire one you got to get permission from your spouse you have to have a
01:14:36.260 background check it takes months and that's just for an unrestricted
01:14:40.420 hunting rifle for the for the smaller arms it's a it's a totally
01:14:44.260 separate beast David it's been an absolute pleasure the the hour and a
01:14:49.140 half or so is completely flown by what a joy if people want to find you
