00:00:00.000 hey everybody i'm jonathan harvey welcome to the weekly take where we look at canada's biggest
00:00:07.860 political stories of the week what's happening why it matters and how it actually affects you
00:00:12.280 all right on today's show we will be talking about the mark carney and danielle smith pipeline deal
00:00:18.120 which triggered stephen gilbo's resignation the federal government says they are finally ready
00:00:22.760 to roll out the gun buyback program across the nation canada moves away from feminist foreign
00:00:27.660 policy while continuing to fund 1.73 billion dollars in gender focused foreign aid the provincial
00:00:34.500 and federal government face class action lawsuits over the kawichan land ruling and the threat to
00:00:39.260 private property rights more than 23 000 patients in canada died last year while on health care wait
00:00:44.960 lists and canada's ngo class thinks it should choose your son's role models all right let's get into it
00:00:52.580 our first story of the day mark carney and daniel smith signed a new pipeline deal sparking bc
00:00:58.740 backlash indigenous opposition and gilbo's resignation prime minister mark carney and
00:01:03.920 alberta premier daniel smith have signed a sweeping memorandum of understanding aimed at boosting
00:01:08.400 alberta's energy sector and pushing the province towards net zero by 2050 without any interim targets
00:01:14.500 central to the deal is a private sector oil pipeline from alberta to bc's pacific coast
00:01:19.080 co-owned with indigenous partners and linked to the pathways alliances carbon capture project under
00:01:25.920 the agreement alberta will incentivize data centers develop nuclear power and ensure bc benefits
00:01:31.320 financially while ottawa will scrap the oil and gas emissions cap suspend clean electricity rules
00:01:36.840 streamline pipeline approvals raise the industrial carbon price and reduce methane emissions the pipeline
00:01:43.400 application is expected by july with the goal of maximizing jobs exports and tax revenues
00:01:48.460 supporters see this as an economic win and potential pressure valve for alberta's separatist movement
00:01:54.580 critics however question its feasibility bc officials dismissed the plan due to a lack of route
00:02:00.080 market or support which makes no sense um indigenous communities oppose it and past pipeline initiatives
00:02:07.300 tied to climate policy have faltered the deal has already prompted high-profile political fallout
00:02:13.060 including mp stephen gilbo's resignation from multiple cabinet posts highlighting internal liberal
00:02:18.980 tensions whether the pipeline and broader deal actually happens remains uncertain with political legal and
00:02:25.300 logistical obstacles looming so first thing to really consider here is that this is a memorandum of
00:02:32.320 understanding so it may not actually come to life there is a lot of opposition from bc now it's primarily
00:02:39.680 primarily rather because you have an ndp government they're very pro-socialist pro-green right so
00:02:45.500 they're not thinking about the economy they're also not thinking about um what might be better for
00:02:50.220 canada they're really kind of towing their party line on uh maintaining their narrative which you
00:02:55.500 should come to expect it just is what it is you have indigenous resistance which seems common but if i'm
00:03:00.280 being perfectly honest a lot of those things a lot of indigenous resistance is moved with economic force
00:03:06.960 if you know what i'm saying so uh i wouldn't think that would be a huge hurdle and um obviously there's
00:03:11.840 some private sector uncertainty so if this does come to life though here's one thing i would tell
00:03:17.160 everybody to look out for um mark corney will probably try to convince more foreign capital um
00:03:22.620 more foreign investors rather to jump in and cover the cost of these things this is what he's been
00:03:27.280 doing under the fipa the fipa agreement now under this agreement he's actually giving more power to
00:03:34.600 foreign investors than canadians get and it's actually more legal coverage as well so he's been
00:03:39.940 using this to sort of push through a lot of the um major projects as well the uae just invested 70
00:03:46.880 billion dollars in canada the other day and a lot of people go hey this is such a great deal
00:03:50.980 not really it creates some short-term jobs but the reality is you're giving the uae um control over
00:04:00.120 our major assets you know they've invested in our critical minerals oil supply chains pipelines things
00:04:06.380 like this so um you may see something similar here and this is how carney would likely get the
00:04:12.480 investment and create a um create like a wider moat for the investors to stop um maybe the liberals
00:04:20.520 or the ndp or people in canada from bringing this pipeline to life so just something something to look
00:04:25.980 for um one of the positives though i do think is this will nuke the whole separatism talk as i kind
00:04:31.380 of mentioned in the summary alberta is too crucial for canada so if i'm thinking of patriotically if
00:04:38.220 i'm thinking about true patriot love i'm thinking patriotically about our country um alberta is a key
00:04:43.400 component i believe they they uh are responsible for between 17 and 20 percent of our gdp primarily through
00:04:48.860 energy so it's crucial that we maintain unity with alberta for canada to continue down a strong path
00:04:57.300 in the future i know it's not great right now but we have to assume things are going to improve
00:05:01.180 alberta is a key component here so by putting this on the table i think this eliminates a lot of the
00:05:05.880 separatist talk now sure there's going to be some sort of more extreme people that will continue with
00:05:10.600 the narrative but the reality is this takes the this takes the meat and potatoes off the table here i
00:05:16.280 don't think it comes to fruition now that they're talking about an oil pipeline that is a deal um
00:05:21.500 tied together with the federal government and of course with with with bc um the other positive
00:05:26.620 thing here and it may take a little while for this to really come to light uh or come to fruition rather
00:05:33.440 is you're starting to see the end of the green agenda as the overarching umbrella of the liberal party
00:05:40.200 right now again it's an mou so this may not play out the way we all we all want well the way i want
00:05:46.640 it anyway the way canada should want it um but the reality is you've seen gilbo now step down from
00:05:52.520 these cabinet positions that means that this move was enough to ruffle feathers and sort of break free
00:05:57.760 from that ideology now do i think it'll be a clean break and now all of a sudden we're going to
00:06:02.520 prioritize economics and energy no but i think it's a really really good first step in that direction
00:06:08.780 and it was obviously significant a significant move or significant enough of a move to get someone
00:06:14.900 like gilbo to step down and move on because it ruffled his feathers and it really goes against
00:06:19.000 what he stands for so while this may not turn out exactly the way we want seeing a departure from the
00:06:26.800 green agenda in this fashion and how it's how it's created an internal conflict with the party
00:06:31.060 is actually a positive because if canada is going to correct course over the next 10 20 years whatever
00:06:36.500 that looks like and our economy is going to recover we have to leverage our natural resources
00:06:41.060 and to do so we need a liberal leader to start backing away from this green agenda which exactly
00:06:47.000 which pardon me is exactly what we're seeing all right moving on story number two for the day the
00:06:51.200 federal government says they are finally ready to roll out the gun buyback program across canada
00:06:55.440 the liberal government's long promised gun buyback program is supposedly rolling out across the country
00:07:00.400 but after years of delays pilot projects and repeated amnesties ottawa's promises are sort of hard to take
00:07:05.620 seriously public safety minister gary ananda sangri says the program will expand after a nova scotia
00:07:10.400 pilot program aimed to collect just 200 assault style firearms however participation numbers remain
00:07:16.680 undisclosed which is a weird thing to do if it went according to plan this is the third extension of the
00:07:22.600 original amnesty which was first set to expire in 2022 so far the scheme has handed out 22 million
00:07:28.520 dollars in compensation for over 12 000 firearms from businesses alone yet provinces like alberta and
00:07:34.380 saskatchewan fully oppose it and the ontario provincial police refuse to enforce it critics
00:07:39.440 note ottawa continues to target law-abiding gun owners while ignoring these smuggled firearms that
00:07:43.960 drive crime even the minister admits doubt about the program's effectiveness and police capacity to
00:07:49.120 enforce it though prime minister mark carney maintains confidence in his minister with 742
00:07:54.640 million dollars budgeted and millions more lost to bureaucratic delays over efficient implementation
00:07:59.700 canadians must ask after years of pilots extensions and foot dragging will this program ever work or
00:08:06.100 should it exist at all so i mean here's the issue the gun buyback program is fundamentally flawed in a lot
00:08:12.620 of ways first of all we know that it's targeting the wrong people um over 50 percent of all gun crimes in
00:08:18.220 canada are done with handguns not assault style rifles and the significant majority of those are smuggled
00:08:24.360 in from america so we're not really solving the problem by taking these away um and if you think
00:08:30.460 about it anybody that is a criminal is not going to participate in the program anyway so even people
00:08:36.080 that do have assault style rifles um if they plan to use them for nefarious reasons they're not going
00:08:40.760 to give their guns up anyway so this really only targets law-abiding citizens which we'll get into a
00:08:46.080 second why that's just a really terrible idea um the other reason is this is just a massive a massive
00:08:51.220 taxpayer waste we're looking at 742 million dollars right now originally this was like a 200 million
00:08:56.240 dollar program which was already sort of ridiculous and if i'm being honest i can't see this landing under
00:09:00.400 a billion dollars now the societal consequences of stripping citizens ability to defend themselves
00:09:05.840 is really the problem here right you have you have disempowered citizens and really what happens here
00:09:12.080 is the criminals gain a significant advantage when law-abiding gun owners are left vulnerable you know
00:09:18.380 you have illegal actors that now go not only do i have a gun and you don't i know that you're giving
00:09:24.560 yours up if if this program actually plays out effectively you're just going to have um emboldened
00:09:30.360 criminals right um you're going to have rising dependence on the state now we already know that
00:09:37.240 citizens have to rely on police for a lot of things and i can certainly appreciate the work that they do
00:09:42.000 but if someone's robbing your home and now you can't defend yourself because you had to give up
00:09:47.580 your gun i mean this is a really big problem it's another reason why i'm a big believer in castle laws
00:09:52.160 which we don't have here in canada i believe if someone breaks in your home you should have the
00:09:55.980 right to defend yourself and i think it's preposterous for anybody to say well you should
00:10:00.480 really think things through in the moment and use you know an equivalent amount of force that they
00:10:04.940 would use well first of all i don't know what kind of force they're going to use i have a wife and a
00:10:08.400 kid i know that i have one job execute that's it you deal with it later and so for me you take guns
00:10:14.760 away from law-abiding citizens it makes a lot harder for them to defend themselves and you know a whole
00:10:18.680 other thing is we really should have castle laws it's kind of preposterous that we don't um there's
00:10:22.840 also sort of the continued erosion of freedom you know when when citizens can't defend themselves it
00:10:28.800 removes a critical check on state overreach and look i know people look at this and go look it's not
00:10:33.360 the 1800s jonathan you you don't need weapons to fight the government it's it's about
00:10:38.100 having the capacity to do so that's really what this comes down to we see a lot of egregious policy
00:10:43.380 that passes through our government um and you know they're doing it with with impunity because we've
00:10:49.960 got no way to really push back and this is one of your last lines of defense they start taking all
00:10:54.520 your guns away it's not just it's not just a legitimate it's also sort of like a i'm not sure
00:11:01.060 if metaphorical is the right word but it sort of is you you feel you feel defenseless you feel
00:11:07.140 defenseless there's something there when you're like hey at least i have a gun and i can defend
00:11:10.260 myself and my family like you have power over your own domain and by taking that away you know i think
00:11:15.260 it just creates a cultural vulnerability and fear and to be honest with you i'm willing to bet that
00:11:20.460 crime goes up guarantee that like bookmark this five years from now this program gets implemented
00:11:27.160 i'm telling you crime goes up it emboldens criminals it gives them more free reign and it stops
00:11:31.700 us from being able to defend ourselves and they know it so i'm on team scrap the gun buyback and
00:11:36.820 implement castle laws all right moving on canada moves away from feminist foreign policy while 1.73
00:11:43.940 billion dollars in gender focused foreign aid continues prime minister mark carney announced
00:11:49.140 canada will no longer pursue an explicit feminist foreign aid policy softening the trudeau era framework
00:11:54.660 that made gender a central focus of canadian foreign aid while gender considerations will remain an
00:11:59.780 aspect of diplomacy the shift comes after years of criticism over ideologically driven or impractical
00:12:04.660 aid programs however the change does not undo hundreds of millions already committed in 2025 alone
00:12:11.940 global affairs canada approved 177 multi-year projects referencing gender and locked into contracts
00:12:18.100 through 2033 at a total cost of 1.73 billion dollars examples include gender just rice what you're
00:12:27.140 probably wondering what that is for a four-year oxfam canadian driven program integrating gender equity
00:12:33.540 into rice production for 20 000 farmers in vietnam okay gender responsive public planning
00:12:42.100 a 4.5 million dollar program in bangladesh where saint francis xavier university is creating intersectional
00:12:49.620 democratic spaces training 950 minority women and promoting feminist leadership
00:12:54.980 gender responsive climate smart agriculture what even is that's just a combination of words that
00:13:00.740 don't make any sense um this is a four-year program supporting women farmers emphasizing gender
00:13:06.660 responsive climate smart practices over yields in ghana okay empowering women peace builders
00:13:15.140 this is in the dr congo south sudan colombia west bank where they will be training activists at the
00:13:20.980 intersection of climate conflict and gender inequality to the tune of five million dollars
00:13:26.980 promoting positive masculinities we're going to talk about this a little more later actually
00:13:31.700 this is a 9.5 million dollar program in morocco towards a microfinance program promoting awareness
00:13:37.780 of barriers for women in positive masculinities alongside climate adaptation and gender perspectives in
00:13:45.060 arms control a mere 480 000 program at the un institute for disarmament research where they examine how
00:13:52.260 disarmament policy can benefit women despite carney's rhetorical shift these legally funded projects
00:13:58.340 remain active with canadian taxpayers footing the bill for gender framed aid for years to come
00:14:04.580 first of all who in the hell signed up for any of these things this country is struggling in a lot of
00:14:08.900 ways um we have a cost of living crisis housing crisis people can't put food on the table
00:14:13.540 we have high unemployment we have a lot of problems here we have a government that's overspending
00:14:17.060 dramatically in almost every arena and inefficient inefficiently rather and a lot of it i would argue
00:14:23.940 is relatively corrupt and this is where we're spending our money i i just for me this is insane
00:14:29.860 um i also think that it's insane to implement ideology to other places around the world because
00:14:34.020 effectively that's what this is right you're telling all these other countries that you're not
00:14:37.860 doing it right that you need to prioritize the things that we believe well it's not what we believe
00:14:41.780 what our government believes and we the only way you get our money is if you drop it into these
00:14:46.500 programs so do you really think a lot of this money is even going to these things if you're giving money
00:14:51.540 directly to governments the answer is zero percent chance and when you're giving it to these other
00:14:55.860 programs like saint francis xavier's when you're giving to these schools what are these people even
00:15:00.660 doing you're trying to implement these programs around the world and i i'd be willing to bet that
00:15:04.820 their efficiency or effectiveness is a low single digit percentage this is preposterous telling the rest of
00:15:10.260 the world how to live is such an insane position to take with our tax dollars now the other thing
00:15:15.780 that people would argue and i i think it's a reasonable argument depending on what country you are
00:15:21.220 is that this builds capacity and so what that means is kind of like the us aid program um
00:15:28.260 what it is is you're sort of building favor with other nations by supporting their programs and by
00:15:33.780 putting money into their country you will get favorable access to something else they offer maybe natural
00:15:38.500 resources maybe support and un votes again it really depends on what country you are now if i'm
00:15:44.180 thinking about this from the united states perspective i can sort of understand i don't
00:15:49.140 agree with how they're spending their tax dollars either but i can sort of understand the perspective
00:15:52.820 of building capacity because of how many because the volume of resources they extrapolate from so many
00:15:58.660 places around the world and how influential they are on the global stage so i sort of understand it a
00:16:04.740 little bit but for canada we're not a major player at anything so building capacity to smaller nations
00:16:11.460 literally makes no sense you should be building capacity with your bigger brother allies like the
00:16:16.340 united states not virtue signaling with these other smaller countries and trying to implement your
00:16:21.140 ideology all right next story the provincial and federal governments face class action lawsuits over
00:16:27.540 the cowichan land ruling and the threat to private property rights a new proposed class action lawsuit in bc
00:16:33.460 accuses both the provincial and federal governments of failing to warn property owners about the risks
00:16:37.860 posed by unresolved indigenous land claims risks brought into focus after a recent court ruling
00:16:42.820 granted the cowichan tribes aboriginal title over 750 acres in richmond bc including dozens of
00:16:48.580 privately owned properties the suit claims government's long new aboriginal title could undermine the
00:16:53.700 security of property ownership but failed to defend property owners rights or disclose the potential
00:16:58.180 impact plaintiffs argue the ruling has caused economic loss psychological harm and widespread
00:17:03.380 uncertainty with one plaintiff saying all properties in british columbia are now subject to claims of
00:17:08.340 pre-existing aboriginal title the action seeks compensation for lost property value emotional
00:17:13.860 suffering and even reimbursement of taxes and fees collected under what it calls misrepresented
00:17:18.580 conditions the cowichan ruling currently under appeal has raised major questions about whether
00:17:24.180 aboriginal title and fee simple ownership can truly coexist another thing that's wildly insane in this
00:17:29.860 country i mean this this whole situation is completely out of whack um here's my first problem with the
00:17:36.740 whole thing you're you're giving ab you're giving title back to indigenous under the premise that they
00:17:43.380 were here first right that's that's kind of the idea we were here first okay but who was here before them
00:17:50.260 right so the cowichan are taking this land because they were the last indigenous tribe to have it because what
00:17:56.740 you're seeing now is other indigenous tribes are going well no we had that property first so this
00:18:00.980 isn't something that gets resolved and this isn't something that indigenous tribes are just going to
00:18:04.900 go yeah cool that's theirs and we'll just miss out on the 100 billion dollars worth of value that's not
00:18:08.900 going to happen this is going to be such an absolute disaster and the reason i know that is now you're
00:18:14.180 seeing it in multiple cities in bc where they're trying to take over entire cities right now you're
00:18:18.500 seeing it in ontario over massive swaths of land the east coast massive massive portions of land in
00:18:24.180 montreal as well so this is not slowing down anytime soon and the results in my opinion could
00:18:30.180 be land seizure or at least a new indigenous tax so you could be looking at you know maybe losing
00:18:37.940 property maybe or at least a new property tax and here's the thing it's already super expensive to
00:18:45.060 live in this country so you add another property tax and then what happens how untenable does this place
00:18:50.340 become and it really makes you ask who would possibly invest here so you start looking at the
00:18:56.180 pipeline you start looking at the major projects office again you look at all these things and you
00:18:59.620 kind of go to yourself well if i'm an investor or i'm a foreign investor or even even a domestic
00:19:05.380 investor it doesn't really matter if i'm looking at these things and going at any time my property could
00:19:11.060 be taken or i could end up having to pay an additional tax to these indigenous tribes why would i
00:19:16.660 possibly invest here and the answer is you probably wouldn't it's pretty risky um which which is really
00:19:22.180 going to be challenging for carney and how he generates all these investments i just don't think
00:19:25.620 this can go on now if it does go on here's how i think it could play out um my take is back to what i
00:19:34.420 said originally you've got a lot of tribes that will be fighting over who was here first right okay so
00:19:40.740 if i'm the government what do i do well i say well guys this is getting really confusing between all
00:19:45.620 these indigenous tribes why don't we just work through all these different lawsuits and decide
00:19:49.860 how much of canada is yours and once that's resolved let's say it's let's just pick an arbitrary number
00:19:55.380 like 50 for fun so 50 goes to indigenous claim all right or under aboriginal title however we want to
00:20:02.660 look at it but there's now there's infighting between all these different tribes so what actually
00:20:06.980 happens here is the government jumps in and goes we will manage the land for you we will implement
00:20:11.540 a new tax on canadians we will give it we will disperse it to all people who are indigenous
00:20:16.820 and we will manage the land and now effectively you have more government control and more taxes
00:20:22.260 that's how i think this could play out all right moving on more than 23 000 patients in canada died
00:20:28.260 last year while on health care waiting lists according to the second street organization more than
00:20:32.980 23 000 canadians died while waiting for health care this past year the group found 23 746 deaths
00:20:39.780 in the 2024 2025 fiscal year among people stuck on waiting lists for surgeries or diagnostic tests
00:20:46.660 this is a three percent increase from last year and it doesn't even include alberta or parts of manitoba
00:20:51.540 due to incomplete data in total over 100 000 canadians have died on wait lists since 2018
00:20:58.660 while nearly 6 million are currently waiting for care this happened despite record health care spending
00:21:05.140 topping in at nearly 400 billion dollars the report highlights tragic cases including patients waiting
00:21:11.540 years for heart operations hip replacements or scans and argues that governments track restaurant
00:21:16.660 violations more carefully than wait list deaths it recommends better reporting activity-based hospital
00:21:22.180 funding partnerships with private clinics allowing more private options alongside the public system
00:21:26.820 and reimbursing canadians who traveled abroad for faster care
00:21:29.780 to be perfectly honest i'm very sick of how the boomer generation is telling us how great canada's
00:21:36.580 free health care is and why it's the best system in the world so a it's not free okay according to
00:21:44.180 the canadian institute for health information the total health care spending in canada reached 372 billion
00:21:50.500 in 2024 which works out to about nine thousand dollars per canadian so it's it's not free in fact it's
00:21:56.820 more it costs more than it does in america so it's not it's not it's not even remotely free
00:22:02.260 and b it's among the worst in developed countries in the world and that may be challenging to hear
00:22:07.860 but that's the reality we're in we were last in primary care among the top 10 nations we were among
00:22:13.060 the worst on wait times specialist access and speed of elective surgeries and we ranked 19th out of 20 in
00:22:20.020 a recent global health care index despite having the fourth highest health care spending relative to gdp
00:22:26.500 so the reality is we need a public private health care model we need a hybrid model
00:22:30.420 like switzerland germany the netherlands and australia all countries who consistently rank near
00:22:36.100 the top in fact switzerland's been at the top for like the last decade now let me explain how i see
00:22:41.780 this model working out because i think a lot of people hear this and they get hurt you know we need
00:22:45.220 to keep our free health care jonathan again it's not free how it works is you pry you prioritize the
00:22:51.700 public health care system you pay your doctors better you incentivize things a little better so
00:22:56.980 that the pharma companies aren't the ones doing it and then you create a private care system and yes
00:23:01.860 people that have more money will have access to private care than over over people who don't that's
00:23:06.580 just reality we live in some people drive ferraris it is what it is okay but the way the system works is
00:23:13.060 there is like a set amount of time public health care should take anything over that amount of time it
00:23:18.580 overflows into the private system and it is still covered by tax dollars so now you stop waiting
00:23:24.100 people go well how do we balance this out it's called supply and demand people we know exactly how
00:23:28.420 this is going to work the private system will scale up accordingly to fill the public void and to fill
00:23:35.700 the private void and if it done effectively everyone will get rapid health care and people that have
00:23:41.940 money will get quicker health care it is what it is but the thing is if there's more money in the
00:23:46.340 system our doctors will make more money we will attract better talent but also things will move
00:23:51.300 faster for people that don't have the means that wealthier individuals do and the other thing is it
00:23:57.540 will actually cost think about it this way if done effectively it should cost canadian taxpayers less
00:24:04.420 to do this because of the number of people that will pay for private health care so these deaths
00:24:10.260 honestly were senseless and unnecessary this model should have been implemented for a very long time
00:24:15.220 and i think canada needs to stop with this antiquated narrative that our free health care system is
00:24:19.220 what makes this country so great because honestly it's become a dumpster fire all right moving on to
00:24:24.660 our last story of the day canada's ngo class thinks it should choose your son's role models this is wild
00:24:32.100 the canadian government is now openly considering controlling the voices that young men hear online
00:24:37.300 replacing certain influencers like me with state approved role models and a recent standing committee on
00:24:43.460 canadian heritage humberto carollo of right white ribbon argued that young men searching for guidance
00:24:48.820 online often encounter deeply misogynistic and hateful content his solution is as chilling as it is
00:24:54.660 casual and i quote we need to change that we need to quiet those hateful voices misogynistic voices and
00:25:01.140 instead present good role model voices influencers who care and share supportive allied narratives that young
00:25:07.540 men can take on i have many issues with this first their system created the problem
00:25:13.940 young men do not want to be toxic and they're not necessarily attracted to these toxic influencers
00:25:20.100 because they want to be hateful they follow them because society's offered no meaningful guidance or
00:25:25.460 role models over the last five to ten years all young men have been told that everything is toxic
00:25:31.700 masculinity and that they are the problem so no real alternatives have been provided that's why they
00:25:38.020 turn to a lot of these people now second society is telling men to disappear media schools and woke
00:25:45.700 authorities have spent years telling men to sit down and shut up they've spent years telling us that there's no
00:25:50.820 difference between men and women and the only way that you can make men and women the same is if you take
00:25:56.660 away masculinity but this is what is this is this is woven into our dna and it's not toxic yes toxic
00:26:03.620 masculinity is a real thing that's a very small sliver of men in the world that behave that way
00:26:08.500 and if i'm being quite honest with you it's beta males trying to be alpha males it's such a weird thing
00:26:13.940 it's not a real problem if you provide valuable role models and you don't do that by implementing
00:26:19.620 censorship that moves on to my third point censorship is a coward's solution attempting to silence voices
00:26:26.980 like andrew tate or nick fuentes won't fix anything it's a cheap authoritarian attempt to paper over the
00:26:33.300 failure of these institutions again these guys rose to fame because there is no other solution or
00:26:40.820 societies being told at scale to quiet down and not do these things which made room for these guys
00:26:46.580 that's really what's going on here number four institutional allyship masks weakness those that
00:26:53.220 are calling for censorship often lack the qualities they preach they don't have the courage strength or
00:26:58.100 independence required to fit into the role of the male characters they're trying to take down
00:27:05.460 they are the men they're often unable unable rather to lead or to seize power so what they do is they
00:27:10.820 try to do it through regulation and bureaucracy they basically want the world to be weak because they
00:27:15.620 are weak that's what this is and look i'm not saying that there is a one size fits all for men in fact
00:27:22.340 i know that there are there's a sliding scale some people are ultra masculine some people are not and
00:27:27.940 it's okay fall wherever you want to fall on that scale whatever's comfortable is exactly who you should
00:27:33.540 be but if you fall lower on that scale you shouldn't stop other people from being higher on that scale
00:27:39.060 because that's their natural state so trying to censor that and quiet this down is the wrong solution
00:27:43.860 and it's not how society works you need people in all of these different roles for society to excel
00:27:48.580 anyway number five this whole manosphere thing look this is a symptom it's not the disease it's
00:27:55.060 controversial influencers exist because young men are starving for guidance that the mainstream
00:28:00.020 society refuses to provide so you're blaming the messengers while ignoring to fill the void and it's
00:28:06.580 it's it's it's really absurd six young men want strength respect and autonomy they're biologically
00:28:13.140 and socially wired to seek role models who embody courage competence and responsibility denying that
00:28:18.820 reality it really only fuels these alternative leaders so rather than trying to censor why don't
00:28:24.500 we focus on those things why don't we give young men the opportunity to follow men that that do
00:28:30.260 exemplify strength respect autonomy who have courage who have competence who show responsibility why don't
00:28:36.500 we teach them those things because those aren't all necessarily ultra masculine features anyway
00:28:41.700 everyone should take responsibility for their life so these are things that apply across the entire
00:28:46.980 spectrum of humanity trying to quiet these things down is 100 the wrong solution and seven ideological
00:28:54.260 censorship only erodes trust trying to engineer thought and behavior through state-approved narratives will
00:28:58.980 alienate young men further deepening the resentment and creating more fertile ground for the very voices
00:29:03.780 critics want to silence if you continue to try to suppress these things you're only going to make
00:29:09.540 it worse right if you think about it like this if you're going to have success in politics you have
00:29:16.180 to have compromise how do you have compromise you've compromised through conversation everybody in the same
00:29:21.540 room or on the same platform arguing or battling or debating with their ideas and the best ideas
00:29:27.460 come to fruition or they win they they rise to the top right so it's the same with this if you don't
00:29:34.420 provide an open space and strong role models for these men to follow in an in in an area where
00:29:41.700 everybody exists in the public square so to speak they're going to go into darker corners of society
00:29:47.220 and these other silos and they will become more extreme so this will only make the problem worse it's
00:29:51.700 like it worse rather it's like the gun buyback program take guns away from everybody and i bet crime
00:29:56.180 goes up because the criminals will keep their weapons this only makes things worse so the
00:30:00.420 solution is really to be a better role model to win with better ideas and show the next generation the
00:30:06.100 way and allow them to thrive using their own strengths not some odd manufactured way of trying
00:30:12.660 to be a weak man i'm sorry it just doesn't make any sense right and again i'm not trying to bag on
00:30:16.660 anybody for who they are or them wanting to be honest and authentic but i think that's what these people
00:30:23.700 are taking away from more masculine men so i really hope that we see this turn around um and i really
00:30:30.500 hope that reasonable voices win this conversation because i think it's important for society i think
00:30:36.500 it's important for canada and i think it's important for our future well that's a wrap folks thanks for
00:30:41.380 for listening and we'll see you next week
00:30:52.180 you
