Summary

In this episode, I discuss the growing threat to Canadian identity posed by Canada s "Woke" political class, and why it's time for Western separatists to take matters into their own hands. I also discuss the threat to Canada's sovereignty posed by the growing separatist movement in the province of Quebec, and how to deal with it.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Quebec and Canada's woke have fostered the cause of Western independence more effectively than any Western independence party or group has managed to in decades.
00:00:08.400 Frustrated Westerners continually spawn new movements and parties that often flare up and fizzle out with limited success.
00:00:14.640 I did just that with the Alberta Independence Party in 2001.
00:00:17.760 It's hard to maintain an organization based on anger and secessionism.
00:00:21.080 I mean, by its very nature, it's going to be populated with prickly people who don't work well with others.
00:00:25.720 Maybe it's time to try a new tactic.
00:00:27.880 Proponents of Western independence should consider just kicking back and letting Canada's woke politics, guided by a cowardly Laurentian elites, do the work for them.
00:00:38.520 I mean, led by Trudeau, there's been a movement to undercut Canadian pride happening for years.
00:00:43.400 Institutions and landmarks that used to be named after national historic figures have been renamed or erased,
00:00:49.140 while statues of the nation's founders have been toppled with nary a peep from our federal leaders.
00:00:53.920 Canada's history is being erased before our eyes, and with it, the sense of national identity.
00:01:00.460 In 2021, Trudeau arbitrarily lowered the Canadian flag for nearly six months.
00:01:05.120 It's never been done before.
00:01:06.260 Over the discovery of possible unmarked graves at sites of some former residential schools.
00:01:10.960 I mean, a flag is a unifying symbol, you know, for a national identity.
00:01:15.320 And for half a year, the federal government refused to display it proudly.
00:01:20.060 The flag was only raised when public pressure from veterans groups became too much, as Remembrance Day was approaching.
00:01:25.560 And it was raised grudgingly.
00:01:27.100 While Trudeau can never admit any fault of his own, he revels in acts of contrition in response to national actions from generations ago.
00:01:36.040 Protesters against COVID-19 restrictions embraced the Canadian flag as part of their movement.
00:01:40.440 So in response, Canada's woke establishment began characterizing the display of the flag as a mark of extremism.
00:01:47.300 Some politicians and media figures stated on social media that they felt triggered and upset when they saw a vehicle displaying the Canadian flag.
00:01:53.980 This attitude continues today as we hear stories of workers being fired from establishments due to customer complaints over the display of Canadian flags on their vehicles.
00:02:03.280 What better way to neuter national unity and pride could there be than to turn the flag into a negative symbol?
00:02:09.840 Canada Day now, Canada Day itself, is under threat as well.
00:02:14.340 Last year, we were told to keep it muted and use it as a time of reflection.
00:02:17.900 You know, it's Trudeau would say a learning experience on how evil the history of the nation was.
00:02:21.420 I'd even heard of a restaurant where they were telling their servers not to wear red that day, in case they might offend a snowflake.
00:02:27.800 In Winnipeg, Canada Day has been cancelled. Yes, they've officially cancelled it.
00:02:31.160 It's now going to be called New Day, where participants are presumably expected to hang their heads in shame over being part of such an abhorrent nation.
00:02:39.040 Meanwhile, in Quebec, the culture of Canada has been rejected for decades.
00:02:42.920 And the provincial government is only becoming bolder in their nationalistic bigotry.
00:02:47.660 Quebec's legislation banning the wearing of turbans or hijabs by civil servants is one of the most overtly racist policies in the developed world.
00:02:55.700 That's not enough for Quebec's leadership, though.
00:02:57.400 Premier Legault just went on a tirade calling non-Quebec cultures inferior.
00:03:02.400 He has outright rejected the concept of multiculturalism and wants to pursue policies of forced integration upon immigrants.
00:03:08.340 This sort of intolerant arrogance on the part of Quebec's leadership, it isn't unexpected.
00:03:13.300 It's built into their very nation as one of the most culturally insecure populations on the planet.
00:03:18.480 The issue is with how the Laurentian federal leadership refuses to intervene when it comes to Quebec's intolerant policies.
00:03:24.400 They've maintained a policy of appeasement and groveling when it comes to Quebec's bledding for special status for decades.
00:03:30.900 Quebec's the spoiled child of confederation.
00:03:33.060 While Ottawa continues to bleed the rest of the country to feed Quebec, Quebec just continues to demand more.
00:03:39.220 It's not quelling secessionism in Quebec, it's feeding it.
00:03:43.900 With Canadian leadership working on eliminating any sense of national pride or identity, the nation is on the path to dissolution.
00:03:51.260 The case for Western independence has always been easy to make on the fiscal and political level.
00:03:55.700 Sentimental ties to the nation is what's kept these movements from taking off, and those ties are disappearing.
00:04:00.900 Canada is irreparably broken.
00:04:03.060 Independence advocates don't need to try and break citizens free from the notion of Canada.
00:04:07.920 The federal government is already doing that for them.
00:04:10.720 Secession is going to be inevitable.
00:04:12.260 It's only a matter of when and which province goes first.
