Learn English with Justin Trudeau. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been Prime Minister of Canada since 2015, and since then, he has been trying to remake Canada into the country he wants us to become.

00:00:00.000 Your passport. Why has Trudeau redone it to delete Terry Fox, who ran halfway across the country on one leg to fight cancer?
00:00:09.760 Why did he delete the Vimy Memorial, which honors 3,598 soldiers who died?
00:00:16.080 Why did he delete this beautiful war memorial, or even the parliament buildings beyond it?
00:00:21.700 Well, to answer that question, you need to get the country that Trudeau wants us to become.
00:00:27.120 The level of admiration I actually have for China, because their basic dictatorship, admiration I actually have for China, because their basic dictatorship. 0.83
00:00:44.360 Or when he said, El Comandante Fidel Castro was a larger-than-life leader who served his people for almost half a century.
00:00:53.280 A legendary revolutionary and orator.
00:00:56.180 Like the leaders and regimes that Trudeau so admires, he's censoring what you can see and say, including his online censorship bill.
00:01:04.700 A bill so controversial that even legendary liberal author Margaret Atwood had this warning.
00:01:13.900 So it is creeping totalitarianism if governments are telling creators what to create.
00:01:19.340 But here's the problem for leaders that want to control everything.
00:01:22.880 The only way to justify it is by promising a utopia.
00:01:26.420 Now, utopia is a beautiful word, but in Greek it actually means no place.
00:01:31.340 You cannot promise to take people to no place unless you start in no place.
00:01:37.420 Put more simply, the only way you can redraw an entire country is to wipe away the existing painting so that you can draw on a blank slate.
00:01:49.380 Ars Orwell said, the past was dead, the future was unimaginable.
00:01:54.560 All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory.
00:02:00.840 Reality control.
00:02:02.520 So, they knock down statues of our past leaders.
00:02:05.700 They delete words.
00:02:07.240 They delete achievements.
00:02:09.100 They even delete our most wonderful and treasured heroes.
00:02:12.320 Even Nellie McClung, who, along with the rest of the famous five, proved women were persons, got erased from Trudeau's passport.
00:02:20.900 This, by a so-called feminist prime minister. 1.00
00:02:24.380 Our soldiers, our Mounties, our explorers, our champions, all had to disappear.
00:02:29.520 Why?
00:02:30.300 Because they show that Canada is amazing, above and beyond its government.
00:02:34.620 If Canada is already amazing, how could you justify having the state bend and twist it into something completely different, as he tries to do every single day?
00:02:45.140 We can have no heroes, and our history must be portrayed as a wretched pile of injustices to justify remaking everything from scratch.
00:02:54.180 Instead, our national story, in this passport, looks now more like Justin Trudeau's personal colouring book,
00:03:01.680 filled with trivial little things like Canadians raking leaves or a squirrel eating a nut.
00:03:09.160 The country must be made little so that his state can be made big.
00:03:15.160 There can be no heroes from the past that get in the way of the man who appoints himself the hero of the future.
00:03:22.180 The regimes that Trudeau admires portray the dear leader as the only hero that could ever be.
00:03:28.540 But you and I both know that the real heroes are not on state billboards or state television.
00:03:34.980 They're the common people.
00:03:36.440 The folks who over centuries had to wrestle control over their lives from the crown and put it in the hands of commoners. 0.89
00:03:43.340 Our democratic tradition goes back 800 years to the Magna Carta,
00:03:47.080 when the common people forced King John to sign the great charter that brought in liberty under the law.
00:03:52.880 And over those 800 years, through fits and starts and many flaws,
00:03:57.460 we've evolved closer and closer to a more democratic place where the people are in charge.
00:04:03.640 That is a precious inheritance.
00:04:05.620 It may be 800 years long, but it's only one generation deep.
00:04:11.180 And if this generation, the living generation, fails to pass on what we inherited from those who came before 0.94
00:04:18.160 to those that come after, then it could be lost forever.
00:04:22.000 That's why it's so important to keep our common stories, our common symbols,
00:04:26.400 and most importantly, our common sense.
00:04:29.460 A passport is known for taking us abroad.
00:04:33.460 But sometimes, the most important thing, especially when it comes to our traditions and freedom,
00:04:39.520 is to bring it home.
