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
