00:00:00.000 Tucker Carlson's Slam on Canada, in which he described our fair domain as an atheist, totalitarian state.
00:00:07.880 Canada has now become an atheist, totalitarian state with amazing speed. 0.96
00:00:11.960 And in Canada, it's now a crime to object to sexualized drag shows for children. 0.94
00:00:15.880 Not allowed to say a word.
00:00:17.600 It wasn't his first poke at us.
00:00:20.800 So it would be nice to write that off as Tucker being Tucker and his guest, Ezra Levant, as Ezra being Ezra.
00:00:28.280 Well, you want an atheist, totalitarian state? 1.00
00:00:32.200 Try North Korea.
00:00:33.700 Parents there who let their kids watch Hollywood movies get hard time in a labor camp.
00:00:38.520 North Korea, we ain't. 0.81
00:00:40.880 On the other hand, what do you call a country where when a pastor speaks up,
00:00:45.500 where when anybody speaks up and says that it's wrong to take children to highly sexualized events,
00:00:51.300 whether it's drag or straight up and down the wicked stuff,
00:00:54.480 where when the people who are sexualizing the children are given a thumbs up,
00:00:59.640 while the people standing up for common decency are hauled off to jail?
00:01:03.440 What?
00:01:04.300 Where are our heads?
00:01:06.060 Oh, I know.
00:01:06.780 They say Pastor Reimer was causing a disturbance.
00:01:09.620 Well, what sort of a disturbance would you cause if somebody was abusing a child in the next room?
00:01:14.280 Look, we like to say Canada's a free country.
00:01:20.660 It's not, as we are finding out daily.
00:01:23.360 Ask somebody who's had their bank account frozen.
00:01:26.580 And for 50 years, it's been getting harder to make the argument that it remains a Christian country.
00:01:31.700 But the libertarian ideal, the libertarian ideal still counts for something.
00:01:37.300 Do what you want as long as you're not hurting somebody else.
00:01:40.640 Sex outside marriage is okay as long as it's consensual. 0.96
00:01:43.980 So strippers, drag queens, clubs, porn, those who want it can have it.
00:01:48.900 Those who don't are free not to.
00:01:50.860 But people who want to pull children into their sexual playing field, that is weird. 0.91
00:01:55.860 Is it that there are no grandmothers with time on their hands that children must be read to by men dressed up as hookers? 1.00
00:02:03.580 It is wrong.
00:02:04.880 And it is right to say so.
00:02:06.980 Leave the children out of it.
00:02:08.720 And here's how you know it's weird.
00:02:11.260 We care enough about the physical health of children that to make sure they don't get their hands on cannabis, tobacco, or liquor until they're 18,
00:02:19.860 we ID up to 30 years of age.
00:02:23.480 30!
00:02:23.860 That's how sure we want to be that the kids don't make a decision that's bad for them.
00:02:28.740 Because we don't think they can handle it.
00:02:31.040 For the same reason we don't let them vote until they're 18.
00:02:34.420 Why?
00:02:34.900 Because we don't think they'll make mature decisions.
00:02:37.980 Most places, we don't even let them drive until they're 16.
00:02:41.800 It's not because they can't reach the wheel.
00:02:44.220 It's because we don't think they have the judgment at a younger age to deal with the situations that driving presents.
00:02:52.340 There is still such a thing as an R-rated movie where kids under 18 aren't allowed.
00:02:58.880 Handling substances, mature judgment, decisions, suitability for some things and for their own good, we make the kids wait.
00:03:10.180 Yet, when it comes to their mental health, to getting an abortion, when it comes to deciding whether you're really the sex you were born with,
00:03:21.420 Now it also appears, when it comes to assisted suicide, kids as young as 13, and in some cases younger yet, with the coaching of a school counselor, but without the knowledge of their parents,
00:03:34.860 Kids can make all those huge, life-changing, forever decisions for themselves.
00:03:40.860 And if you don't agree, you're the hate monger.
00:03:43.980 Got that? 0.96
00:03:44.900 You're the problem.
00:03:45.960 That's how it is, then, that according to Calgary's mayor, if you object to children being taken to sea, 0.93
00:03:53.800 men capering around dressed as grotesque caricatures of sexy women, you're driven by hate.
00:04:00.780 And from people like you, the drag queens deserve the protection of the Calgary City Police. 1.00
00:04:06.800 How does a Calgary mayor get to redefine this hate, what was just common decency a few years ago?
00:04:16.940 How is it that when a man says he feels like a woman, and then claims the right to remove his clothes in a changing room full of little girls, 0.98
00:04:26.760 we all sit here like that's something little girls just need to get used to?
00:04:32.020 Tucker Carlson makes his living by overstating his case.
00:04:38.140 But when I see a pastor arrested at his own home and hauled away to be charged because he went to a drag event involving children and said,
00:04:46.480 this is wrong, I don't see that as a case you can overstate.
00:04:51.840 Of course it's bloody wrong.
00:04:54.420 And by the way, a lot of people would agree with Tucker Carlson that Canada has become atheist,
00:05:02.020 and to me, it absolutely looks totalitarian as well.
00:05:07.860 For the Western Standard, I'm Nigel Hannaford.
00:05:11.340 Canadian Shooting Sports Association.
00:05:13.340 Without the CSSA, our gun rights would have been taken long, long ago.
00:05:17.900 These guys are on the front lines helping to draft smart and intelligent firearms regulations and legislation in Canada,
00:05:25.120 and more importantly, educating the public about how we keep guns out of the hands of the wrong people.
00:05:30.900 To become a member, it's absolutely worth every penny.
