00:01:41.380Let me list some proposed national policies and just think of how Canada would be if these were imposed, okay?
00:01:47.800So, imagine if we abolished the Indian Act and removed special legal status for Indigenous people
00:01:52.720and then terminated existing treaties and transferred federal responsibility for Indigenous affairs to provinces.
00:01:59.240What if we eliminated what's called Indian status and assimilated Indigenous people in a mainstream Canadian society as equal citizens?
00:02:05.940How about if we converted reserve land by turning reserve land into private property that could be sold?
00:02:11.920And then we could dissolve what was called the Indian Affairs Department and close all federal departments responsible for Indigenous issues.
00:02:18.400Do these proposals sound extreme or unreasonable or unworkable?
00:02:22.440I dug every one of those out for a policy document called the White Paper, created in 1969 by none other than Pierre Trudeau and Jean Chrétien.
00:02:30.680Unfortunately, while Trudeau stood strong with most of his terrible policies he imposed upon Canada,
00:02:35.940he folded like a cheap suit with the White Paper, and now we're all paying the price.
00:02:40.440Look, if those policies proposed in the White Paper had been implemented 56 years ago,
00:02:44.740Canada would be a stronger, more united country.
00:02:46.920Instead, Indigenous people live in misery on reserves in a form of racial apartheid
00:02:51.800while constantly pandering to the Indigenous industry as cratering the Canadian economy.
00:02:57.160To be a truly modern democratic nation is to eschew all race-based policies forever.
00:03:03.580However, we must take a step back and look at the primitive absurdity of thinking we can have a functional nation
00:03:09.140when we have different sets of laws and policies that apply to different people based on the colour of their skin.
00:03:14.520Nations have fought wars to end race-based policies, yet Canada is entrenching them further
00:03:19.120and decries opponents of racial policies as being racist.
00:03:45.060Crime rates among the Indigenous have skyrocketed, and the number of Indigenous victims of crime have skyrocketed.
00:03:50.820Funds have been poured into Indigenous business ventures.
00:03:53.300As a result, Indigenous businesses have a terrible success rate, and those that do succeed usually only do so
00:03:59.280because they specialize in government contracts.
00:04:01.560We've set up separate educational systems and set up different bars for Indigenous people to acquire degrees and diplomas.
00:04:07.240As a result, the education level of Indigenous people lags well below non-Indigenous and is sinking.
00:04:12.800Extra funding has been poured into health care measures for Indigenous people.
00:04:15.780As a result, they suffer from more chronic health issues than anybody else and die younger than non-Indigenous people on average.
00:04:21.300In Alberta, for example, Indigenous men die 19 years younger, I'm not misspeaking, 19 years younger than non-Indigenous men.
00:04:28.120That stat alone should make people understand how broken the system is.
00:04:31.900Grants have been given to reserves to take care of child services.
00:04:34.520Well, foster and emergency child care services are disproportionately populated by Indigenous kids to the point of crisis.
00:04:40.640Countless programs in both the public and private sectors have been formed to offer preferential hiring to Indigenous people.
00:04:47.440Despite this, they're among the most chronically unemployed people in Canada.
00:04:50.260There's not enough government jobs to really cut into that number.
00:04:54.180Due to there being no written language for Indigenous people, the courts have enshrined oral history as being credible when it is anything but.
00:05:00.080This has led to some of the insane rulings on land claims and fostered the Kamloops residential school child burial hoax that led to burning and vandalism of over 100 churches.
00:05:08.640Canada is now fast becoming a total economic basket case as the Eastern manufacturing industries are collapsing if they don't get massive subsidies.
00:05:16.640And the resource-based industries that used to pay all those subsidies for them are hamstrung by false veto authority held by Indigenous bands.
00:05:23.040The nation is becoming an investment pariah while British Columbia is castrating its real estate industry through potentially violating property rights with land settlements offered to Indigenous bands.
00:05:32.760In short, nobody's winning. Indigenous people are being held back and infantilized with Canada's race-based system.
00:05:39.020It's taken great people and led them into a socioeconomic catastrophe of dependency and dysfunction.
00:05:45.080Meanwhile, those who have to pay all the bills are running out of ways to make money to do it.
00:05:48.840The solution is actually simple yet difficult to implement.
00:07:26.520Well, you know, I don't want to sound like a parrot, but it's another busy news day today.
00:07:31.980We're leading off with a column from Chris Oldcorn on some immigration proposals being put forward by Premier Daniel Smith.
00:07:39.840The main one being that unless you're an immigrant that's wanted by Alberta, like Alberta can bring in their own immigrants, but they get dumped a lot on by the feds, that unless you're approved by the Alberta government, you'll get no welfare services, no health services, no education services.
00:08:00.760Basically making it impossible for non-improved immigrants to move here.
00:08:20.860I mean, that's where our equalization goes anyway.
00:08:22.300Yeah, we've got a Quebec story out also on the A&W, A&W franchisees down there are saying unless they get an increase in temporary foreign workers, they're going to have to shut down restaurants.
00:08:35.300Basically, they said the kids, young adults, they don't want to work in the fast food industry anymore and they need temporary foreign workers.
00:08:41.600Which, you know, I don't know how much it comes to the policy or what's best or worst, but I know from all the pub and restaurant, the next generation does not want to work in the kitchens for, yet at the same time, people don't want to reach into their wallets and pay for the living wage it would take to drag people out there.
00:08:56.180So I think some people have to reevaluate what you want.
00:08:59.020I mean, you sure A&W could hire all Canadian, you know, some people are screaming, we'll just let them hire Canadian.
00:09:03.440Okay, if you're ready to pay $10 for that little cheeseburger, that's the route to go.
00:09:07.760So it's interesting, just so you don't remind people, there's cause and effect, if you cut the TFWs, some prices are going to go up.
00:09:23.800Involving the newly appointed leader of the Quebec Liberal Party, Pablo Rodriguez, used to be a member of the Trudeau cabinet and stepped down to run for the job and win just six months ago.
00:09:34.820But the party's been embroiled in a corruption scandal that saw basically members paid to vote, which is somewhat illegal.
00:09:43.800So he is apparently stepping down this afternoon.
00:09:47.580We've got a story on Kelowna MLA Gavin Dew.
00:09:51.360He was sort of thought that he might take a run at the BC Conservative leadership vacated by John Rustad.
00:09:59.480But he says that would take him away from his family too much, so he is not going to run.
00:10:05.360The Liberal government's Islamophobia advisor secretly gave an $80,000 grant to a university's pro-Palestine group.
00:10:15.820And this came about through access to information records dug up by our friends, a Blacklock's reporter.
00:10:22.920And she had initially died or denied, not died, sorry.
00:11:42.680I mean, most of the guys that I know, I'm an example of it.
00:11:45.180You know, we're just all dorks who play on X and everything anyway.
00:11:47.660So if you really want boring prison movies and stories, you know, have a bunch of the online geeks filling all those cells rather than nice hardened criminals we're supposed to enjoy watching.
00:12:10.040But, you know, weather, floods, getting through the Coquahola, getting through Highway 1 through Hope to the lower mainland could be a bit of a difficult day.
00:15:34.300I mean, there are, you know, many, many children's books out there.
00:15:38.440I mean, lots of people really dream of writing a children's book, and there's some great ones out there that just didn't quite break out of the pack necessarily
00:15:45.500and turn into number one on the Amazon list, for crying out loud.
00:15:49.260What is it that distinguishes Buck the Rainbow Unicorn from the other children's books?
00:15:53.760Well, Buck the Rainbow Unicorn is truly a tale and fable for our time at this moment in time.
00:16:01.460Because if we think about what our children have been exposed to, whether it be in public education, whether it be from public institutions, whether it be from the government of Canada,
00:16:13.300that they have been told an egregious lie as it pertains to gender ideology, and this book confronts that in a way that is age appropriate for little ones,
00:16:23.740in a way that allows parents to have conversations with their children about these things, and in a way sort of takes things back for us.
00:16:32.940The common sense, rational, conservative parents who have just all acknowledged at the same time that this is not something that we are ever going to support as it pertains to our children.
00:16:45.260Yeah, I see from the live comments, good old Sheila Gunn-Reed is in there watching and has kindly gifted us for Christmas there as well.
00:17:10.180And I did read it, you know, and you've written it at a level where even I can take this in.
00:17:13.620It's a brilliant book, and despite there being, you know, realistically, there's a little bit of a, I guess you could say a political undertone, but it's positive messaging.
00:17:21.900It's the kind of messaging we should have in children's books.
00:17:33.580And just to really put a fine point on the fact that family is everything.
00:17:39.600Family is really everything, especially to conservatives.
00:17:42.500This is the foundation of our civilization.
00:17:45.320And to encourage parents to bring their children nearer, to have critical conversations with little ones when they're in a really formative part of their development.
00:17:57.520And I've been, I've been receiving the most incredible feedback on the book from parents who have been really negatively impacted by this in their lives.
00:18:07.080Their children have fallen victim to this really caustic, toxic, and damaging ideology.
00:18:13.280And those parents are hyping the book.
00:19:36.960It, it, it's, especially when we get issues like this and what do you do if your child has come home and, and let's face it, there's some activist teachers out there.
00:19:45.020There's other individuals and your, your, your child's confused by some of the messaging, but they're not adults to sit at the dinner table and break down and discuss something like this when they're still in a formative place.
00:19:54.800What better way to sit down with a children's book at night and just kind of lay out page by page.
00:19:59.960And then you can expand perhaps a little bit of what it's talking about.
00:20:02.720But it is a great way to communicate it on the child's level because they're not going to listen to a long political diatribe.
00:20:07.820My kids got sick of that when they were six with me.
00:20:23.420And, you know, bigotry is not allowed here.
00:20:25.200And they're told these messages that have no factual basis in reality.
00:20:30.120When, when family is the heart of your life, like it is for mine as a mother of six from Saskatchewan, nothing in this book is controversial.
00:20:40.500This book, this book really promotes, promotes the idea that the family loves you best and knows you best.
00:20:48.200And this is a way for us to, again, just take back our children who have been told are a really, a really, really egregious fib.
00:21:06.900So it, it takes different communication, smaller families, bigger families, and things like these books are a great way to bring that across.
00:21:15.700And, and this book is actually, you know, in addition to parents and grandparents gobbling up this book, telling me that it's necessary that this is, you know, to continue on this work that I'm doing.
00:21:27.420Counselors in schools are also buying this book, Corey.
00:21:58.300Okay, guys, there is a plot twist in the book.
00:22:00.540And when the boys, when, when the plot twist was revealed to the boys, they were out of their minds excited about the book.
00:22:09.200Okay, so these are little boys that are like, that are like, you know, they see the cover and they're like, I don't want another girl book.
00:22:16.100And then they realize that, that there's a message in there for them.
00:22:19.200So that, that's just making my life, buddy.
00:22:28.960Yeah, well, and what I liked about it, I mean, again, you, you've packed a metaphor of a political message into a book in a sense, but it's all positive.
00:22:52.080And to think that that whole entire book came out of a 20 second, or excuse me, a 20 minute session on the side of the Trans-Canada Highway was incredible.
00:23:03.820It was messy in its writing a little bit, right?
00:23:06.560Like it's not, there are not proper poetry stanzas in the story, but the story is just so good and delicious.
00:23:14.460And I read it like, Corey, I've been reading this story on a piece of paper for two years and thinking every time I read it, it just gets better and better.
00:23:56.740The book is based on, like, it is so Saskatchewan and Alberta coded in the illustrations.
00:24:01.460Like, there's wild roses for Alberta and there are prairie lilies for Saskatchewan.
00:24:06.400And the setting of the book is actually My Grandma's Farm from 1937 in Halbright.
00:24:11.800So I had this old, grainy, black and white photo that we then transformed using AI to illustrate the settings of the book.
00:24:21.220So what you're actually looking at is My Grandma's Farm, Halbright, Saskatchewan, circa 1937.
00:24:27.860And there's a, you know, there's a couple other settings.
00:24:31.280There's a couple other settings in the book that you'll see as you sort of travel along the story in the book.
00:24:36.520One of them is a small town rodeo in Saskatchewan, the Arcola Rodeo.
00:24:41.060One of them is, you know, another farm setting.
00:24:45.480But all of the characters and all of the development were done using AI, which I think is a really happy marriage, considering the poem was written on a typewriter, which was state of the art in 1948 when it was built.
00:24:58.600Like, typewriters were created out of a, after the war, there was a whole bunch of steel products, right?
00:25:04.280Like, we had this, we had this market for steel and they started making typewriters out of it.
00:25:09.220So my stuff, my, that story came off a machine that was made out of the same stuff as battleships.
00:25:36.640I tried to read them Atlas Shrugged and they just jumped away from their bed as far as they possibly could.
00:25:42.520You need to have great things like illustrations to go with the words to keep it interesting and exciting.
00:25:49.620And I'm still chasing them around with the fountainhead now.
00:25:51.880But all the same, it's just a great children's book.
00:25:55.600I mean, you didn't just slap something together to make a point or something like that.
00:25:59.220This is a functional, good, fun, you know, large format.
00:26:02.640So you could sit there at bedtime or whenever and read through that.
00:26:06.340That's exactly what we want to happen.
00:26:08.000And we want kids to have this right beside their bed so that every night before bed, you touch on this.
00:26:14.780You know, we all had that favorite book growing up that you read so often that the pages got dog-eared and the spine ripped a little bit.
00:26:22.580And, you know, it was just so well-loved and well-worn that you didn't even have to read the words to tell the story because it became so familiar.
00:26:29.260And that's really what I hope for with this book is that people, people read it and that it resonates with them and that it's loved by little children because it's so dearly needed.
00:26:41.180So, you know, I do have to ask about some of the negative in a sense.
00:26:45.260We know it's the world of social media.
00:26:46.780It's a world of hysterics and, you know, accusatory things.
00:26:51.460Which bad feedback have you been getting?
00:26:54.020I mean, it sounds like for the most part, it's been fantastic and positive, but I imagine you've had some, some nutters coming at you on this.
00:27:13.780But the overwhelming, overwhelming majority of reviews are positive reviews from people just like you and I, who believe that children deserve to be told the truth and children deserve to be honored in this way.
00:27:30.440It's great for anybody that knows a little one.
00:27:32.460And I even had a guy reach out and tell me that he bought 10 to put in a little free libraries.
00:27:37.880So we're actually like guerrilla marketing this into the atmosphere so that people just in, in the wild can experience this book too, because, because it is, it is a really special story.
00:27:49.400Like it is a really special story and one that's really, really important for this moment in time.
00:27:58.080Part of it's just, you know, it's engaging.
00:27:59.520It's not just rattle through it with the kid, read it, see if they've got questions, chat back and forth, process it, or as I said, get dog-eared and apply it over time as well.
00:28:07.880Is that some kind of rainbow unicorn in your background I see back then?
00:28:14.860I got myself a special balloon to, to just celebrate a little bit that we have a hot hit on our hands.
00:28:22.520And I, like, as a literary icon, Corey Morgan, you can claim to have known me before I was a literary icon, but I thought that, you know, spending 12 bucks on a little piece of decoration wasn't outside the norm for this.
00:28:35.800So, well, it, it complements everything fantastically.
00:28:39.600And I mean, Amazon getting to the modern from typewriter to AI to Amazon, I mean, the days are gone where you have to get in through, uh, the old publishing houses to manage to break through into the big bookstores and chapters or Kohl's.
00:28:52.320If we want to go way back this way, you can really get to everybody fast, efficiently at a good price.
00:29:33.920And it's really like, like talk about the German printing press.
00:29:36.960Like this is the next level of the German printing press.
00:29:39.620What they're doing on the Amazon side is kind of spectacular, um, in the way that we can get information to people, but it's super easy to buy 18 bucks delivered to your door and, um, a little one or little ones in your life will have a really, really great story to read.
00:29:55.380Well, I, I, yeah, I don't think Gutenberg envisioned this coming to an end, uh, eventually with publishing, but it's great to see real books too.
00:30:01.860That's the final thing I want to say as a bookworm, a lover of them and fighting with the digital world, boy, get some paper books in some kids' hands and maybe.
00:30:10.040Pass on some of that love of books that's being kind of lost by a lot these days.
00:30:14.240There's something, there's something about holding something tangible in your hands.
00:30:18.180It is real when it exists in your hands.
00:30:22.100I thought what we can all agree children need more good books and they should read more good books where they're being inundated, inundated with social media and algorithms and their little brains are being molded in ways that we can't even envision.
00:30:45.440We should just talk about that real quick.
00:30:47.740Oh, I talk about that one plenty, but yes, that's the Sovereign's Handbook.
00:30:51.260I got up to a number 11 at one point actually last spring, but oh boy, you've eclipsed me by a long shot.
00:30:57.540So, uh, and, uh, I, I do encourage children to read it once they turn 18, stick to Buck the Rainbow Unicorn and some enjoyable, uh, books until you, uh, hit adulthood and then we can bore you and, and inflame your, your, uh, political minds with my sort of pap.
00:32:15.280And, um, for everybody at the Western Standard and all Western Standard viewers, have a very, very Merry Christmas and wishing you, um, health, wealth, and happiness in 2026.
00:32:26.180And, uh, again, back at you guys at Rebel and everything, uh, our friendly competitors, we're more than happy to, uh, collaborate with, with an ever possible.
