- 0:03Speaker 1: All right. So Ontario town forced by human rights tribunal
- 0:07Speaker 1: to pay LGBTQ group they forgot the plus group ten
- 0:12Speaker 1: thousand dollars after not honoring Pride month. Mayor must give
- 0:16Speaker 1: five thousand of his own money. The Ontario Human Rights
- 0:20Speaker 1: Tribunal is forcing the township of Emo and its mayor
- 0:24Speaker 1: to compensate an LGBTQ activist group because elected officials refused
- 0:30Speaker 1: to honor Pride Month in twenty twenty. So they've been
- 0:34Speaker 1: dragged through this human rights tribunal for years now. Borderland
- 0:39Speaker 1: Pride asked Emo to proclaim June twenty twenty as Pride
- 0:43Speaker 1: Month and fla a rainbow Pride flag for a week,
- 0:46Speaker 1: but the mayor and council turned down the request. CBC
- 0:50Speaker 1: dus okay. So Borderline Pride has sued this town because
- 0:56Speaker 1: the town they asked the town to do a Pride
- 0:58Speaker 1: Month in twenty twenty. The town says no, I don't
- 1:01Speaker 1: feel like it. The tribunal, whose rulings are legally binding,
- 1:04Speaker 1: has determined that the township must pay Borderland Pride ten
- 1:08Speaker 1: thousand dollars and Mayor Harold mcquaker has to provide the
- 1:12Speaker 1: group with five thousand dollars for his personal finances. So
- 1:16Speaker 1: human rights tribunals, what kinds of things do they get
- 1:19Speaker 1: up to. Well, here's Mike Ward, who was a Canadian comedian.
- 1:23Speaker 1: He's a Quebec comedian. He was put in front of
- 1:26Speaker 1: a human rights tribunal which lasted years for a joke
- 1:30Speaker 1: he made. For telling a joke that was politically incorrect,
- 1:35Speaker 1: the complainant was awarded over forty thousand dollars. I think
- 1:40Speaker 1: it was forty two thousand dollars. Let's take a quick look. Yeah,
- 1:44Speaker 1: forty two thousand dollars to Jeremy Gabriel for a joke.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Is a comedian who made a joke human rights tribunal.
- 1:53Speaker 1: You might say, well, how can you be how can
- 1:56Speaker 1: you be forced to pay forty two thousand dollars for
- 1:58Speaker 1: telling a joke? Well, let's see. In the context of
- 2:02Speaker 1: Canadian human rights tribunal courts, the principles of presumption of
- 2:06Speaker 1: innocence and rules of evidence do not apply in the
- 2:09Speaker 1: same manner as they do in criminal or civil courts.
- 2:13Speaker 1: This is why I call it a kangaroo court. Rules
- 2:17Speaker 1: of evidence. While the Canadian human rights tribunal does not
- 2:20Speaker 1: adhere to the strict rules of evidence like those found
- 2:23Speaker 1: in criminal or civil courts. It still operates under some
- 2:26Speaker 1: prescedural fairness. The tribunal considers evidence presented by both parties,
- 2:31Speaker 1: but the standards for admissibility and relevance might be less stringent.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Might be less stringent compared to other courts. For instance,
- 2:40Speaker 1: the tribunal might allow hearsay evidence or consider a broader
- 2:43Speaker 1: range of evidence to understand the full context of discrimination claims.
- 2:49Speaker 1: There is general expectation of fairness in the right to
- 2:52Speaker 1: present one's case, but this does not equate to the
- 2:55Speaker 1: detailed evidentiary rules found in other legal set. What this
- 3:01Speaker 1: means is that there's not really rules. It comes down
- 3:05Speaker 1: to if it thinks that you've done something politically incorrect
- 3:09Speaker 1: that it doesn't agree with ideologically, you're guilty. That's it.
- 3:13Speaker 1: You're done right. That's what it comes down to. How
- 3:15Speaker 1: do we know this? Let me show you something. This
- 3:18Speaker 1: approach was highlighted in criticisms regarding the tribunals handling of cases,
- 3:23Speaker 1: particularly under Section thirteen of the Canadian Human Rights Act,
- 3:28Speaker 1: where there was a noted one hundred percent conviction rate.
- 3:33Speaker 1: One hundred percent conviction rate, How do you know that
- 3:36Speaker 1: it's an ideological it's a Soviet style at kangaroo court.
- 3:41Speaker 1: That it's just these are show trials, that this is
- 3:43Speaker 1: purely political. How do you know that? Because there's a
- 3:46Speaker 1: one hundred percent conviction rate. One hundred percent conviction rate,
- 3:51Speaker 1: one hundred percent. Okay, that only happens when things are politicized.
- 3:57Speaker 1: That's like the Soviet Union. That's like China. Right, if
- 4:02Speaker 1: you've committed some political crime, some politically incorrect crime, one
- 4:06Speaker 1: hundred percent conviction rate, How do you know it's all fake?
- 4:10Speaker 1: How do you know it's all political? How do you
- 4:12Speaker 1: know this? These are just a bunch of commissars enforcing
- 4:16Speaker 1: ideological purity. Well, I can show you one hundred percent
- 4:21Speaker 1: conviction rate. That's how you know. That's how you know
- 4:24Speaker 1: it's all a joke. That's how you know it's utterly corrupt.
- 4:27Speaker 1: That's how you know that it needs to be abolished.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Let's see, So what do we have here? Guide to
- 4:34Speaker 1: the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which apparently is
- 4:37Speaker 1: not worth the paper that it's written on. Any person
- 4:40Speaker 1: charged with an offense has the right the to be
- 4:43Speaker 1: presumed innocence until proven guilty. According to law, an affair
- 4:47Speaker 1: and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal presumed innocent. Hmm,
- 4:54Speaker 1: presumption of innocence does not operate under a strict presumption
- 4:59Speaker 1: of innocence. How is this even legal? Like, how does
- 5:03Speaker 1: this exist? This is just dysfunction. This is progressive dysfunction.
- 5:08Speaker 1: This is rigging things right to get your way. This
- 5:11Speaker 1: is the leftist way. This is the far leftist authoritarian way.
- 5:15Speaker 1: I mean, this has been around. Trudeau didn't create this,
- 5:17Speaker 1: It's been around since the seventies. But it needs to
- 5:19Speaker 1: be abolished. It needs to be gotten rid of. It's
- 5:21Speaker 1: just a tool to abuse and oppress dissenters. That's it.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Why the why do we need to put comedians through?
- 5:31Speaker 1: I mean, eventually, this case, this case was overturned by
- 5:34Speaker 1: the Supreme Court of Canada. It had to go up
- 5:36Speaker 1: to the highest court in the land. And guess what,
- 5:38Speaker 1: you only want it by a margin of five to four.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Raizer thin. That's how close, that's how close we are
- 5:45Speaker 1: to the kind of authoritarianism that Trudeau really wants. Human
- 5:48Speaker 1: rights tribunals are an abomination. They should they should go.
- 5:52Speaker 1: He didn't do anything wrong. He offended somebody that shouldn't
- 5:57Speaker 1: be enough and you have This shouldn't happened in Canada.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Ontario town forced by Human Rights tribunal to pay LGBTQ
- 6:04Speaker 1: group ten thousand dollars after not honoring Pride Month. So
- 6:08Speaker 1: they wanted them to, They wanted to force them to
- 6:11Speaker 1: do something they didn't want to do, and because they didn't,
- 6:15Speaker 1: they called it. The Human Rights tribunal called it discrimination.
- 6:19Speaker 1: So if you don't do what they want, you're discriminating
- 6:22Speaker 1: against them. What do the human rights tribunals need to
- 6:26Speaker 1: be abolished? Again? This is I get, this is Soviet
- 6:31Speaker 1: this is Soviet union. Doug Judson, who was lawyer and
- 6:35Speaker 1: director of the Borderland Pride Board, said the decision is
- 6:38Speaker 1: a real triumph for his organization. We didn't pursue this
- 6:42Speaker 1: because of the money. We pursued this because we were
- 6:44Speaker 1: treated in a discriminatory fashion by a municipal government. And
- 6:49Speaker 1: municipalities have obligations under the Ontario Human Rights Code not
- 6:53Speaker 1: to discriminate in the provision of a service. Well, we
- 6:59Speaker 1: know that not just anybody can go up and demand
- 7:03Speaker 1: that their Latvian heritage there'll be a Latvian Pride Month, right,
- 7:08Speaker 1: It's only one group to say that it's discrimination to
- 7:13Speaker 1: not have to have people actively celebrating you funded by taxpayers,
- 7:18Speaker 1: right who may not consent to any of this right,
- 7:21Speaker 1: This is lunacy, the tribunals. The tribunal's decision affirms that
- 7:26Speaker 1: this is the important thing we were seeking was validation
- 7:30Speaker 1: that as two wes LGBTQ plus a plus people, we're
- 7:36Speaker 1: entitled to treatment without discrimination when we try to seek
- 7:40Speaker 1: services from our local government. It's discrimination. Not to do
- 7:44Speaker 1: what they want to not celebrate them is discrimination now
- 7:48Speaker 1: in Ontario, just let that sink in. To further humiliate
- 7:52Speaker 1: the mayor and the chief administrative administrative officer of the township,
- 7:57Speaker 1: the tribunal ordered both to enroll in complete Oh my god,
- 8:00Speaker 1: you can't believe this. To further humiliate the mayor and
- 8:04Speaker 1: the chief administrative officer of the township, the tribunal ordered
- 8:09Speaker 1: both to enroll and complete a human rights one h
- 8:13Speaker 1: one indoctrination course from guests who the Ontario Human Rights
- 8:19Speaker 1: Commission within the next month. And I guess the lesson
- 8:23Speaker 1: is they say jump, you better jump, or else we're
- 8:25Speaker 1: going to make it painful for you. And it's not
- 8:28Speaker 1: just a penalty. The financially, it's the process is the
- 8:30Speaker 1: punishment as well, because you've got to spend money on
- 8:32Speaker 1: the process as well. And if you're dealing with a
- 8:35Speaker 1: court that has a one hundred percent conviction right every
- 8:40Speaker 1: single time, right, you might feel like this is all
- 8:43Speaker 1: some sort of cruel farce, I would say. Judson said,
- 8:48Speaker 1: the tribunal's decision sends a message to people in rural Ontario.
- 8:52Speaker 1: This is happening in rural Ontario that if they refuse
- 8:57Speaker 1: to celebrate Pride Month, that they refuse to celebrate Pride
- 9:01Speaker 1: Month at their own risk. They want you to commit
- 9:04Speaker 1: crimes against your own conscience. They want to force you
- 9:06Speaker 1: to actively have to betray yourself for them. I hope
- 9:12Speaker 1: that it emboldens and strengthens people in the communities like
- 9:15Speaker 1: Emo and other places like that across Ontario to know
- 9:18Speaker 1: that they have entitlements from their government, big daddy government.
- 9:23Speaker 1: You know, you know, this could all be turned against
- 9:26Speaker 1: you as well, right, having the government having these kinds
- 9:29Speaker 1: of powers to compel people to do things right could go.
- 9:34Speaker 1: Have you not thought about that maybe it's best to
- 9:37Speaker 1: just kind of let people do their own thing. Maybe
- 9:39Speaker 1: that works out better. Have you considered that this could
- 9:42Speaker 1: backfire in some way, you know, because governments change, societies change, No,
- 9:48Speaker 1: of course not. It is utterly baffling that anybody would
- 9:54Speaker 1: think it would be a good idea to do this.
- 9:56Speaker 1: But I guess if you're an ideologue who is who
- 10:00Speaker 1: thoroughly presitized by the woke mind virus, or you're just
- 10:04Speaker 1: you know, you're just naturally a far leftist, authoritarian totalitarian,
- 10:08Speaker 1: I guess I don't know. But what are we to
- 10:11Speaker 1: learn from this? So not having taxpayer funded celebrations of
- 10:14Speaker 1: you is discrimination in Canada? Now if you're a certain group,
- 10:19Speaker 1: that doesn't apply to everybody. Obviously, you have to wonder
- 10:23Speaker 1: isn't it discrimination against everybody else? Against the people who
- 10:26Speaker 1: didn't want to do this? Isn't it discrimination against them?
- 10:30Speaker 1: Because the whole thing just seems kind of incoherent to
- 10:32Speaker 1: me when you think about it that way, doesn't it
- 10:35Speaker 1: you know what, isn't it discrimination against the people who
- 10:37Speaker 1: don't get celebrated. Not just that don't want to do this,
- 10:41Speaker 1: or you have their taxpayers spent doing this, but the
- 10:43Speaker 1: people who don't get celebrated themselves, the people who don't
- 10:47Speaker 1: get a month of celebration forced on everybody else right,
- 10:51Speaker 1: isn't it again? The whole thing is kind of incoherent,
- 10:54Speaker 1: you know, you just kind of really do have to
- 10:56Speaker 1: look at it through the lens of just far leftists totalitarianism.
- 11:02Speaker 1: What about what about a month for the left handed
- 11:06Speaker 1: or gingers? This is just a Soviet union. These lawyers
- 11:09Speaker 1: are commissars. How else can you look at this? It's lunacy.
- 11:15Speaker 1: The human rights tribunals are woke kangaroo courts, and their
- 11:19Speaker 1: purpose is to enforce ideological purity. How could that be
- 11:24Speaker 1: any more obvious? Right? Their purpose is to persecute heretics.
- 11:29Speaker 1: That's it. I mean, what about religious freedom? How about
- 11:32Speaker 1: that right? How about the freedom over your own conscience
- 11:36Speaker 1: to not betray your own conscience? That seems like a
- 11:38Speaker 1: fairly important one. That seems to be like a right
- 11:41Speaker 1: that Western civilization used to understand, for God's sakes. I
- 11:45Speaker 1: never had a flag for it, though, Right, that's the problem.
- 11:48Speaker 1: I guess there was never a flag for not betraying
- 11:51Speaker 1: your own conscience anyway. That's all I'm going to say
- 11:54Speaker 1: about that. Please like, share and subscribe. Subscribing really helps
