Latest / Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show! / QR Codes For Travel In Canada, Magdalen Islands
Transcript
- 0:03This is nuts. Canadian municipality now requires a QR code to enter or leave
- 0:09Madeleena Island, getting QR codes in order to leave, and if you don't
- 0:14get your QR code, you will be fined. Guess what, guys,
- 0:17that's the very first QR code prison here in Canada and it is going to
- 0:22sweep the nation faster than you can think if people don't stand up and may
- 0:27and take a stand against these QR codes. It's not happening in your town
- 0:33yet, but it most certainly will be. We know the government's expropriating land
- 0:37from farmers all over the place. We know that they are trying to make
- 0:41military presence and normality. So it's only amountter of time before you are trading
- 0:46away your information, your private information in a QR code in order to leave
- 0:51your town or city so that you can go to work, shop, get
- 0:55an education, or just plane out, visit and travel this amazing country.
- 1:00Yeah, it's disturbing. In fact, let's take a closer look. Planning
- 1:03a summer trip to Quebec's Magdalen Islands, you'll have to pay up. Mayor
- 1:07says fee is necessary because tourists are burdening services straining revenue. Tens of thousands
- 1:12of visitors flock to Quebec's Magdalen Islands every summer to behold its cliff frames,
- 1:18se escapes and sandy beaches. But starting next month, those island sojourns will
- 1:23come with an added cost. The small archipelago northeast of Prince Edward Island is
- 1:29introducing a thirty dollars visitor fee to raise funds for tourist infrastructure, environmental protection
- 1:34and waste management, called the Pass archipel The new fee will be mandatory for
- 1:41domestic and international travelers who stay on the islands for more than twenty four hours
- 1:45between May first and October fourteenth. Individuals who fail to comply will risk a
- 1:51one thousand dollars five Now, this is directly in violation of the Charter Canadian
- 1:55Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which guarantees movement. So I don't know how
- 1:59they are getting away with this, let's see. Valiquets insists the past does
- 2:05not constitute a barrier to accessing or leaving the islands, but the fee nevertheless
- 2:09has some islanders concerned it will infringe on the freedom of Quebecers and other Canadians
- 2:14to travel within their own country. Of course it will. This you know,
- 2:17feels like a test pilot program, really, doesn't it. I think
- 2:22it's outrageous to ask someone to identify themselves in order to get out of their
- 2:25own town. In an interview, at Terry Alt said she considers the fee
- 2:32especially unfair because it will charge mainland Quebecers for using public resources partially financed by
- 2:39the provincial government, such as Rhodes quote, so we end up charging Quebecers
- 2:44for visiting their own infrastructure, which they pay for with their own taxes.
- 2:49Quote. There is really an obstacle to my freedom of movement. This is
- 2:52a former Magdalen Islands town counselor saying this. It's the first time in my
- 2:57life that this is happening to me, and I find it nonsensical. So,
- 3:01I mean, it's just it's little bits of creeping authoritarianism, isn't It's
- 3:06little bits of creeping restriction on everything, on speech, on movement. You
- 3:12know, Canada is Trudeau. I mean his plan is for you know,
- 3:15to get rid of gas cars, right, tell you what kind of transportation
- 3:21you can even use. Of course, Trudeau famously had the vaccine mandates for
- 3:25travel on trains and planes in Canada, again against against the Charter. Not
- 3:30supposed to be able to do that. It's just this, this creeping authoritarianism,
- 3:35isn't it. You know somebody might see that go oh well, I
- 3:38mean they have a point. They're in island and you know they're they're overburdened
- 3:42by tour so what so what You're not supposed to be able to do that.
- 3:45You're not supposed to be able to restrict people's movement in their own fucking
- 3:47country. It's just the same bullshit. Why would we trust any of this?
- 3:53Honestly, Rokeue thoughts is of course a nice remote island to test this
- 3:59on. Discuss thing now. I don't find it surprising that like a town
- 4:02council would have a bad idea, or that they would try and capitalize on
- 4:09swarms of tourists every year either. But really, I mean, the federal
- 4:13government should have something to say about this, shouldn't they. I mean,
- 4:16it is their job to protect the Charter rights and freedoms. But it's a
- 4:23Trudeau government, so of course there's nothing they love more than taking my people's
- 4:27rights. And I'm sure they would look at this and go oh oh,
- 4:30well, this is a great idea. Maybe we can do this in every
- 4:32single city, in town, every neighborhood in Canada. Just imagine how much
- 4:38money we could extract from the public while we're also controlling their movements. And
- 4:42controlling people is the highest virtue of a far leftist, so of course they
- 4:46would love something like this.
