Tucker Carlson's slam on Canada, and Ezra Levant's comparison of Canada to North Korea, and how it's become an atheist, totalitarian state, are two of the most ridiculous things you'll find in the entire Western Standard.


Transcript

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.
00:00:11.960 And in Canada, it's now a crime to object to sexualized drag shows for children.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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,
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.
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,
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.
