say that's gone is to say almost nothing Canada [Music] under Justin Trudeau the former British
colony has sought to position itself as the global Bastion of progressive politics we have become a totalitarian
state as his cultural revolution chose no sign of abating I went to Canada to
find out how ordinary Canadians are dealing with Trudeau's radical reforms
the sexualization has become militarized from the promotion of gender ideology
what the is that do you want to talk about it to the legalization of drugs overdoses are up violent crime is
up it's it's a jungle radical new suicide laws do you think that they want
you dead yes I I think that's right and clampdowns on
freedom of speech I think our leader Trudeau I don't think
I've ever heard him say a true word all this nonsense about compassion is the
manipulations of snakes pulling in the useful idiots who perhaps are genuinely
compassionate and that's Canada [Music]
my name is Steve ington and I'm a journalist from the telegraph I began my
investigation of Canada in one of the country's most liberal cities Vancouver
so we're here on Vancouver's downtown east side where the situation whether it's open drug use or violent crime just
continues to get worse and every possession of hard drugs including heroin cocaine and Fentanyl has been
legalized in the city to find out the impact of these new laws Aaron I met up with Aaron Gunn a
filmmaker who has documented a rise in homelessness and crime in Canada in
recent years Aaron tell us a bit about what you do here what I do here well I just came off
filming two documentaries in the downtown east side of Vancouver documenting the incredible increases in
homelessness kind of just general societal chaos and the explosion of open drug use here in the streets of
Vancouver and really on the streets of every major Canadian city what's going on in Vancouver then we've seen the
street order explode we've seen open drug use explode overdose deaths are up
more than one thousand percent in the past 10 years here in British Columbia The Province where Vancouver is we saw
more than 2 000 British Columbians died last year from overdoses alone every day
in Vancouver four people are randomly attacked who is to blame for this chaos
in Vancouver well what I was told when I was making the documentary by one small business owner is you get what you
tolerate would you like to add something
why is that making a documentary
yeah
yeah I'm not making money off of this I'm not even this isn't my documentary
all right let's move let's go yep
so we were just filming on a corner near Hastings Street which is where some of the worst homelessness is and a lot of
people
came up to you they seem to know who you are can you kind of explain
what happened yeah we didn't get very far through the
interview did we yeah it was just uh we haven't been back here since Canada's dying blew up whenever somebody suggests
for example that handing out more hard drugs or destigmatizing drugs like
Fentanyl and crystal meth might actually be making the problem worse I don't think that's a radical position to take
it was pretty much a consensus up until five minutes ago and now when you put a documentary out about it
um you put a put a lot of people up against the wall and I think that's what we saw these issues are impacting many
cities around the world San Francisco being one of them Portland in the United States what is it about Canada
specifically that has caused this huge rise in homelessness and crime there's
nowhere in the world as far as I know that has engaged in this level of permissiveness when it comes to these
dangerous addictive substances like Fentanyl and crystal meth and I think there is the root of the problem if you
could snap your fingers and get rid of these drugs tomorrow you would solve 80 percent of these problems
come on another filmmaker who explores the streets of Vancouver is Chris Elston
better known online as billboard Chris Chris agreed that I could join him on
one of his outings in the city my whole goal is to start conversations it's to have conversations and start
conversations
so that was really effective so I had some signs made I had two signs
made they said gender ideology does not belong in schools and when you
talk about this all hell breaks loose gender ideology what the is that do you want to talk about it I swear 78 and
I've always been clear okay what does that mean to be queer I like men I've always liked me
I'm a gay man I'm not queer well I like that I'm not here the weird thing idiot
it's just a word I didn't identify as clear okay close minded to accept some other words
okay I'm gay I just wanted you to know I've known once I came out I realized
that I've always wanted us okay can I have a conversation with you for a second
okay
let's just let's just slow down for a minute can I have a conversation
with you no because I got a doctor's appointment I gotta go okay I
support
the gay community 100 okay we shouldn't be giving I'm gay I'm gay
that's right I'm gay and you know when I was young I was a feminine big kid you
know if I was a gay feminine kid today they would have they've worked out the old dick saw you
know what I mean yeah they would have taken my manhood yeah these kids who would grow up to be gay today are being
taught that just because they're effeminate little boys that they must be treated racing a gay of like gay men and
lesbians if a boy is a permanent if a girl's masculine beautiful right what's wrong with that right I don't know what
happened to the Western World I haven't lived in Canada for 30 years but it has changed man 30 years ago this would this
would be unconceivable I don't like even coming back to the West you know I don't recognize it anymore you know you're the
man thanks brother appreciate you Canadians don't want to be on camera if they're supporting this it's pretty rare
why because they might get in trouble at their job they're not all afraid and we'll run into them if we stay here long
enough
but if people will have any sort of corporate job or work for the
government they don't want to be on camera they're going to get in
trouble
are you worried about talking about this sort of thing because of your job and things like that yes what happens if you
say the wrong thing what could happen to you there's ostracism ostracism a lot of ridicule and mockery I've worked at
other places with Evangelical Christians Etc who have stood up for their faith
and the ridicule begins I'm technically a leftist but the way everything slid
sideways now people say well you're a conservative I really like your videos thank you sir I believe what you say
everyone goes through different things at different stages in life and people are just jumping to conclusions instead
of just letting it happen as it is when kids go through puberty they usually figure it out like my mother she's a
lady full biological female and when she was younger she didn't like doing the girl things she's always said didn't
make her a boy and a girl's clothes so you're touching on what this entire ideology is based on it's based on one
thing only stereotypes yeah that if you don't conform to stereotypes that maybe
you're not the sex that you are what utter nonsense this is the most regressive ideology in history so what
do you think of Chris then I think he's doing some work that people need to be
informed my brother liked to hang out with the neighbor who's the girl and she had Barbies and all you ever do was go
over there play with parties well in today's society and my parents would have had to
mutilated because otherwise they would have been would have been taken away thanks man yeah thank you thank you to
find out more about the consequences of questioning gender ideology in Canada I
met up with Amy ham a nurse based in British Columbia why don't you tell me a bit about
yourself so I'm a registered nurse by a profession and I also do some freelance
writing and journalism and I'm a single mom with two boys I have a four-year-old
and a six-year-old's son and I guess in the past
six maybe seven years I started writing and talking about gender ideology I'm
fighting to maintain my nursing license so what sparked this all off why did
this all start the two members of the public who complained to my regulatory
body were incensed by my involvement in putting up an i heart JK Rowling
billboard this billboard got a lot of attention in Vancouver that has a huge
population of very hyper woke kind of Lefty people and that triggered an
investigation Canadians are known as the world's politest people
do you think that that's a misconception in terms of how you've been treated by some Canadians yeah I I don't think
Canadians are necessarily polite maybe it's more passive aggressive could be
the right word and if you hear psychologists talk about the way that some people deal with
disagreement it can be like physical aggression or you can do more psychological things like reputational
destruction and trying to destroy someone that way and I think as a country it's almost as if Canadians have
chosen to do that that's why cancel culture feels like here
the promotion of transgenderism in Canadian schools has led to a fierce backlash from some parents not least
those who come from Canada's ethnic minority communities multiculturalism has become a key pillar
of Justin Trudeau's vision of Canadian identity in Toronto I caught up with a family
originally from India to discuss their experiences of modern Canada
Hello nice to meet you nice to meet you Stephen Stephen you're already shooting we're already
shooting bang bang shooting upstairs mom Steven Steven hey Mom how's it going
so tell me your background when did you move to Canada I'm Indian I came from
India after marriage came to Canada in 1974 July when you came to Canada what
was it like and how has it changed in terms of multiculturalism racism was there they're not happy that other
colors are coming so they were throwing eggs and calling their names
many things were happening but still that gone very soon after 1980 it it
started improving now so many taxes they are increasing increasing it looks like
that 50 50. 50 government is taking from us and we have only 50. that's not fair
and before we were happy like living like middle families Justin Trudeau says
that he represents people like you he says that he loves multiculturalism he
loves the fact that Canada is so Multicultural so many different people from different societies do you think
that he takes your vote for granted yeah definitely he took our granted and he is
saying Multicultural he loves multiculture we love Multicultural too I think every human like it
but uh bringing from every country and not seeing their back records so many
criminals can come too and crime gonna go very high so there should be some
standard to bring people so niranjan why don't you tell me a bit about your background as well
so I was born here a year after my mother arrived I was born and raised 70s 80s kid growing up in an 80s 90s Canada
where I was privy to multiculturalism in a very organic way it wasn't some United
color of Benetton commercial this was full on everyone taking the piss and laughing at everyone else making fun of
accents we all got to tease one another playing street hockey with a ridiculously curved sticks but to use
their language you are a diverse individual and they would expect you to
have a certain set of beliefs that come along with that 100 but you don't absolutely not because I'm not stupid
it's very transparent I work in a community that is all about the hustle sex workers drug sellers pimps you know
everyone's hustling to make it I am used to being around people lying all the
time so when such a big hustle is being thrown in my face I mean I've been around it for you know like I said
almost 15 years now it's so obvious I'm just like that's just a hustle that's not even good hustle you've got a son
grandson um and you've experienced the gender ideology
being pushed on your child can you tell us what happened you know
my son goes to an alternative school within the Toronto District School Board which is focuses on the on the Arts and
social justice in the last few years the sexualization has become militarized
it has gone full no pun intended balls to the wall they're full on aggressively
ramming it down no pun intended everyone's throats it's a Wednesday at
around 6 PM I get an email that says tomorrow is gender Odyssey please bring
your
kids to school with the other opposite genders clothing we're going to
have a fashion show the teachers are going to address in the opposite
gender
clothing we're going to have a presentation for the kids again we're talking kids from you know grade four
kids from the ages of four all the way up to 11 12. and I was like what they
ask me and send me emails and forms to sign when he's crossing the street to go to the you know for a field walking trip
and yet they're gonna start teaching my son about sexuality other genders and God knows what other aspects of
sexuality
they're going to bring into it without my permission and that I'm
supposed to send him to school with girls clothing so that he can dress
up
as
a girl and then have a fashion show with all this happening I was like
no that's not going to happen and that's the other thing at school they
always
have the cultural month so when it's the South Asian month they've combined us with so it's just Asian months and so me
and the East Asians and the parents who are they want us to come in they want us to cook the stereotypical Indian and
Chinese
food they want us to come and talk about Indian culture Sports and
languages and things and things like that there's a double-edged sword
we're
like we want your food we want the kitchen to camp and we're on everything we want the image of what your culture
is to come in and then leave but don't bring your actual fundamental beliefs about God
spirituality and generational like responsibility don't bring any of that we don't want that do you think that
Canada is a warning for what can happen if things go so bad Canada is an
experimental ground for sure right it's a
very and New Zealand as well these are great places that don't have the amount
of tradition and it's not close to home like if England's gonna fall you know these extremities are going to fall
first part of Canada's social Revolution can
be witnessed in its extreme new euthanasia laws in 2016 Justin Trudeau's
government passed legislation enabling assisted suicide for terminally ill
Canadians to find out more I traveled to Montreal to meet with Christine
Christine thank you so much for allowing us into your beautiful home why don't you tell me a bit about your
story your background I served 10 years in regular Force Canadian Armed Forces
and artillery I soon early got injured training when I jumped into a trench my
knee fennel joint and the spine followed not only were you a veteran you also
became a paralympian about 2008 I was introduced to kayak
showed some talent in it or I was approached to try out the Sprint kayak
and I did and became a five-time world champion wow the first thing I remember feeling
when I was on the water was this sense of Serenity and platitude that I
had not felt for so long to me it was as if I just found
another way to keep serving my country so you've done a lot for your country
how do you feel Canada has treated you in return
completely abandonment there was a time at first when I first
became a veteran the services were a lot better since I became a veteran in 1998
the government has gone to sell out or privatize our services now it's the
second time and they've just done it again now it took 12 years between renewals of my
wheelchairs we're allowed to have one every five years I don't like to have to ask it's been
five years give me a new one if it still work it still works but 12 years it's not normal you know seven years
after my my wheelchair I asked for the second one and it took five years to get it this is completely ridiculous
I'm in the works right now waiting for the renewal of a elevator to be able to
access outside my house can you tell us what happened when you asked for this was it the the ramp outside you needed
yes I said you know I I just can't keep going like this I can't keep living like this like with this has to be done this
has to be resolved and the person stated you know Madam go tea if you really feel you can't go on like this if you refill
you can't do it anymore you know you have the right to die so it's like wow I can't believe you
know after all of this time not only will you not give me the equipment I need to live but you will
help me die I have been suicidal an incomplete desperation for
the last 10 15 years and suddenly you just come out and tell me you know if you really can't go on
anymore and you feel you can't do it anymore you just you know you have the right to die
uh yeah it's really hard to understand this when you still
is or maybe blinded enough or something enough to believe and think that your government is there to help you
and not to to end your life because you're becoming too pricey or too too much of a problem
but presumably you want to live and this person telling you that you had the
right to die must have been one of the most awful things that anyone
could tell you after all of the things that you've been through yes I think that if I had
I want to live nobody ever asked me like of course if someone asked me what do you want to do
today well if I had the choice I would want to go and run I would want
to go and do many things so right now yes I would like to be able to live but with autonomy and dignity I do
things for myself as much as possible how many other cases do you think there could be in Canada like yours
oh my God I I'm I'm terrified to hear the numbers because like I said personally I didn't
even know they were others whether you push someone in despair enough for them
to commit suicide which we all know the numbers are astronomic for veteran suicide
or whether they get to have the attention enough to get made it's not different it is the same for me
whether you will provide the the room to do it or so or just let them let them
crawl into their own home and die what's the difference for myself
I've had been closed many times of committing the
ACT if I'd not been from my mother still there and somehow are calling me at this
moment or for these my dog coming and sitting litters on me
when I was about to do it whether they were I don't explain why
and how this has happened but it did I don't think it's a government's place or an Hospital's place to decide yeah
okay you're a little depressed this week Here sign these people this paper three times I will ask you you sure you want
to die oh yeah I think it's wrong I think it's wrong and I think it's Just Gonna Keep
drawing this country into a deeper deeper that deeper home
not everyone is opposed to the euthanasia laws I spoke to a clinician who assesses and administers assisted
dying so most of my career has been with abortion care Women's Health Reproductive Rights social justice
and
then I've just tried to integrate what I believe in with what's
happening on the ground and so when the legislation came through and
assisted
dying it was the same year that we got Memphis in Canada so Memphis the drug that people can take a tablet for
abortion so my skills and need for doing surgical abortion was limited and I thought oh there's an interesting change
in the law happening which is also about social justice which is also about a person's autonomy I wonder if I might
like to get involved in that in terms of the future of the made legislation there's some interesting developments
going on can you talk a bit about about that so what we are anticipating in next
march is that the legislation will not have mental illness or mental health
disorders as a restriction if a person's only reason for seeking
assist to death is that they have a severe and incurable mental health disorder then they can consider their
application considered to be assessed we know from people who attempt to commit suicide who are depressed or have have
mental health issues but who survive some of them say that they regretted it you're adding a new layer of controversy
I suppose I'm quite reassured that the level of scrutiny and the level of assessment is very tight I do believe
that the clinicians are involving quite a number of Consultants to determine eligibility Canada has changed a lot in
the last few decades as you mentioned multiculturalism all sorts of people's beliefs around and religion in
particular from a Christian perspective suicide is seen as a sin do you think that Canada has become a post-christian
nation I don't think Canada was ever fully a Christian Nation because it has such a strong indigenous culture which
obviously is not not Christian of course in its core I agree in many religions
that's suicide is not considered all right having said that I have dealt with
and we have together formally ended that person's life one other area where Canada perhaps
shows itself to be unique in the West in terms of issues of morality
are these new laws around assisted dying what they call euphemistically made oh
yeah yeah Orwell spitting in his grave do you think that in a Christian Nation this would happen and has Canada become
the first real post-christian Nation well we're not as post-christian as you can get
but yes I would say in the west are we the first one
we're
certainly in the we're in the Front Runners and no I don't think it
would happen in a truly Christian Society and I think Christianity and
and
and Judaism for that matter and in all likelihood Islam is actually a bulwark against such things because at least
you start with the metaphysical presumption at least in the judeo-christian Corpus that
there's some you know each person carries with them a spark of the Divine that the state has no right to interfere
with in the least quite the contrary must be respectful of and independent of that I also think that if you're the
sort of fool who thinks that the government should have the power to Aid people in their own death well you've
got a lot of thinking to do buddy because why would you presume that the government is trustworthy enough to
do that I'm an opponent of capital punishment not because I don't think there are crimes that are sufficiently
highness to deserve death because there certainly are and if you don't know that you don't know anything about crime and
then now we're giving the state that power well on compassionate grounds
for a nation to be truly woke it must have its own Narrative of Oppression in
America activists focus on the country's history of slavery and racist laws
in Britain they focus on the Empire to try to understand Canada's equivalent
narrative I spoke with David Lee's of the frontier Center for Public Policy
today we're going to be talking about your rights and freedoms these work campaigns they all have their own
narratives and histories and backstories and heroes that they take from history in Canada what do they focus on well in
Canada we don't really have much of a history of slavery at all so I think that when it comes to our
very mixed relationship with indigenous peoples the story of our relationship
with indigenous peoples particularly through residential schools is a very classic case to be used then as our
critical race Theory issue so in Canada there is this narrative around What's
called the indigenous genocide can you just break that down for a British audience in Canada we have been fed a
narrative that we're a genocidal nation and it these are horrific types of
claims to make especially for Canadians because Canadians deeply care about fellow Canadians and including
indigenous people now there have been historically many examples of of poorly
thought out and conceived policies against indigenous people but it's it's
a narrative that does not do justice to the History part of that is through the the residential school story where where
the country of its day was trying to figure out well how do we engage indigenous people in this new economy
and so education was always seen as it is today as a key door opening to
integrating people into Canadian Society let's talk more about this Kamloops Mass
grave site so the Kamloops band which is the sort of group of indigenous people
there they put out a statement a few years ago saying that they'd found this Mass grave site and they'd done some
scans of the grounds and they claimed that there were 215 disturbances within
the grounds which they said were evidence of human remains even children who were basically being killed or wiped
out is that actually evidence of a genocide have they dug up the grounds have they found the bodies no evidence
has been found to date in fact the sonar seeking devices are not indications of
any grave to suggest otherwise is utter non so those claims need to be investigated
like any other claim of a crime scene they need to be looked at as you say
crucially they haven't actually dug up these sites no they've not been excavated they've not been exhumed or or
anything like that so it has really become a kind of a bizarre type of claim this is not just simply about the story
of residential schools this is the story of how a nation has I Believe been
infected by a really destructive hate-filled ideology of wokism we are
truly the canary in the coal mine when it comes to G7 countries so you could
actually be facing prison time potentially if you question this indigenous genocide
narrative well certainly if you listen to the openness of the current Ministry of Justice federally yes we have a risk
that they will seek to criminalize any questioning of the residential school
narrative or the claims of mass Graves which is utterly absurd part of History
part of science is being open-minded to healthy debate and evidence seeking as
we work to find the truth together that's part of civilization
questioning the indigenous genocide story already has its consequences
one such dissenter is Jim who I met in his home in Vancouver so you were a
teacher you're no longer a teacher why one day two years ago I was teaching calculus
12. to so older students and news had broken right across the world about 215
children being murdered and an Indian residential school and I thought well that's not really right that doesn't
make sense teaches don't murder their own children it's not good for one's careers but much more seriously it's uh
this is such a you can't bear Witnesses commandment nine says in the Bible
against your neighbor bear false testimony without having evidence of that truth so all I said that day to
students and I was expected to to reproduce a narrative about oh yes white
Christians who just made a mess of candidate and had done so forever and they were Mass murderers now and and in
Canada the men and women in this particular School in in Kamloops it was oblate priests and brothers and sisters
of Saint Anne they devoted themselves fully to the education of young people they came from from Europe to do so the
idea that they put children in incinerators or hang them and secretly bury them at night and all that sort of
stuff it's just why why would you say that to students if it's not true all I said was the kids died from
disease and they did die from disease nobody has since question but I was
walked
out within half an hour of mentioning that one comment saying
suggesting I didn't even say it wasn't but the very suggestion that it
wasn't
genocide they walked to Vice principals walk me frog marked me out of the school
and I haven't been teaching since and and I've been told that I never will do you think that Canada is worse than
other nations well I've heard many people say that it's worse in Canada than elsewhere we've gone off the rails
more than probably anywhere else in the world and as a teacher for me to be afraid to tell kids that there's such
things as boys and girls you know it's gone a little bit ridiculous oh
foreign from spreading it's important to have a
strong opposition party Canada's conservatives have been historically weak in pushing back
against Trudeau so be strong thank you yeah you want to take a photo to discuss
the failure of Canada's conservatives I met with the leader of a rival right-wing party Maxine Bernier thank
you I always fight for you thank you thank you have a nice day thank you does that happen often yeah sometime yeah so
Maxime for British viewers who don't know who you are or what party you found it can you explain your story yes I'm uh
Maxim Bernier I'm the founder of the People's Party of Canada we created that
party in 2018 but before that I was a conservative you know I was elected in
2006 and I was part of the Harper government the conservative government here in Canada they don't have any
principles they're just you know they try to everything to be elected and I
said you know I don't want to be part of that but isn't it the case that the conservative have a new leader Pierre
polio who's far more conservative and more on the right than Andrew Shear or
the previous leaders so he's taking the party more in your direction I suppose so what's the point in in you in that in
that sense but Pierre poliev was a real conservative during the leadership contest because he knew that to be the
leader of the Conservative Party of Canada you must speak like a conservative so we did that now his goal
like Andrew Shear is to be the Prime Minister and we know that the big cities are leftists and liberals so what is
doing is going to the left to be sure to be elected and that's why he's not speaking against Mass immigration that's
why you know he's okay with the radical gender ideology that's why polio voted
for the bill C4 the bill C4 in Canada is the bill that criminalized parents and
therapists who want to help gender dysphoria kids and if you do that you
may go in jail up to five years but that bill also is doing the promotion of the
transition and for me there's no transition you have boys and girls and girls cannot be a boy and a boy cannot
be a girl but for the conservative and every Member of Parliament voted for
that bill voted for the bill C4 so we don't have any opposition in Parliament right now in Ottawa so we're next to the
statue of John a McDonald yeah you can't see him yeah there's actually a little sign on you know he's been boarded up
why is he being boarded up because of the the woke ideology and they try to
impose their history on us the new vision of this country but what the
first Prime Minister Johnny McDonald did for this country I believe that is a
great history so it seems that what's unique to Canada
in a way is Trudeau himself as a leader compared to other Western Nations because you could look at the covert
lockdowns or wokism or whatever and they they apply to lots of Western countries to most Western countries and but what
I'm interested in I suppose is what is it about Canada itself that Canada has gone so far to the left and maybe you
disagree that Canada is an outlier compared to other Western Nations you can explain no I think we've we've gone
further down the walk road than you know any other place except perhaps for California
and I think part of the reason for that is that we were an early adopter of the doctrines of group rights the
francophones had rights the indigenous people as as a group had rights the anglophones had rights there were three
founding peoples and group and individual rights had to be balanced and I don't think there is any such thing as
group rights because there's no such thing as group responsibility so that's a it's a non-starter conceptually and so
in some ways the table was set in Canada for the rise of a more Universal
doctrine of group identity and group rights and plus Canadians Pride themselves on you know
being nice let's say and you know and not being offensive and just hoping that everyone will get along and you know
there's nothing glorious about incivility but
there's very little to distinguish excessive niceness from weakness and the problem with being nice and this is a
technical problem because niceness is associated with trait agreeableness is that agreeable people are cannon fodder
for psychopaths so I don't believe that any of the conundrum that we're in
at the moment in the west is strictly political I think what's happened is
that the the predatory Psychopaths have figured out how to cloak themselves in
the guise of compassion [Music]
during my travels I found ordinary Canadians appalled at their countries surrender to drug dealers it's contempt
for freedom of speech it's enforcement of gender ideology on children and a
breezy willingness to terminate the lives of its own citizens however for
all of the depressing stories of people losing their jobs or being hounded by the government
these cases were equally inspirational whilst Canada is a warning to the West
there are also messages of Hope from those Brave individuals fighting for
