UNDRIP | The Weaponization of Indigenous Peoples
UNDRIP. The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. It’s being sold to the world as a human rights movement, a means to free indigenous people from poverty, discrimination and a lifetime of physical and substance abuse. The reality for a large majority of them.
I know. I worked on a reserve as a paramedic when I was younger. The conditions were deplorable.
If only Undrip was the human rights tool it claims to be, but it’s not. It’s a weapon, to be used to undermine the sovereignty of UN member countries, to control their resources, and to put political power into the hands of the globalists.
And it won’t help the indigenous peoples one bit.
Leighton Grey is a constitutional lawyer in Alberta. He speaks out regularly on the threats to our country on his own podcast, Grey Matter. He is the man behind a number of legal actions against the provincial government for their covid response, and to date the only lawyer in Canada to successfully call a public health officer to the stand.
Leighton is also indigenous.
Recently Leighton wrote an excellent essay on the threat to our national sovereignty posed by UNDRIP. He joins me today to explain how it will really be used, where it fits into the globalist agenda, and what we can do to stop it.

WD: UNDRIP, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. It’s being sold to the world as a human rights movement, a means to free indigenous peoples from poverty, discrimination and a lifetime of physical and substance abuse. The reality for a large majority of these people who live on reserves is deplorable, I know as I worked there as a paramedic when I was younger. If only UNDRIP was the Human Rights tool it claims to be, but it’s not. It’s a weapon to be used to undermine the sovereignty of UN member countries, to control their resources and to put political power into the hands of the globalists. And it won’t help the indigenous peoples either. My guest on the Iron Will Report today is Leighton Grey, a constitutional lawyer in Alberta. He speaks out regularly on the threats to our country on his own podcast, ‘Grey Matter’. He is the man behind a number of legal actions against the provincial government for their COVID response and, to date, the only lawyer in Canada to successfully call a public health officer to the stand. Recently, Leighton, who is indigenous, wrote an excellent essay on the threat to our national sovereignty posed by UNDRIP. He joins me today to explain how it will be used, where it fits into the globalist agenda and what we can do to stop it. WD: Leighton, I invited you to this interview because of your exceptional article on UNDRIP. There is a quoted statement in it by John Kim Bell that sums up everything we are going to talk about today to alert people of the dangers of UNDRIP. Bell is an indigenous businessman who, among his other achievements, is one of Canada’s leading energy resource consultants representing the First Nations. He is a decorated Canadian and an internationally recognized leader and activist. He said, and I quote ‘Implementing UNDRIP would probably paralyze the entire Canadian economy...’ Having read your essay and some of the articles in UNDRIP, I don’t think that’s an overstatement. 2 LG: The problem with UNDRIP is it fits very nicely into the liberal government’s jigsaw puzzle which integrates our nation into a globalist plan that serves the interests of those who do not live in our country and don’t have our people’s best interest in mind. In fact, UNDRIP is the surrender of sovereignty over Canadian lands, the soil of nationhood, not to the indigenous peoples who have received more than a $1 trillion of government largess over the past thirty years to no effect, but rather to globalist interests. I call UNDRIP a Trojan Horse in my essay as it appears desirable but actually contains something harmful. The globalists are the same people who authored the COVID-19 pandemic, who are authoring the climate change scare right now and who have authored the World Health Organization (WHO) Pandemic Treaty to which Canada is a signatory. This Treaty essentially cedes all Canadian government decision making over health emergencies to the WHO. And, of course, the definition of a health emergency is so broad that it includes virtually all areas, depending on what you are dealing with. UNDRIP is essentially nothing more than the ‘land’ piece of the puzzle. What people, especially those in rich provinces, need to understand is that Canada is a resource rich country and our resources are coveted by these globalist interests. They want to own the land so that they can harvest these resources, not to our benefit, but to theirs. Online videos and articles reveal examples of Chinese owned and operated cobalt and lithium mines in the Congo, with children and pregnant women digging on their hands and knees in toxic sludge, the most severe form of racism that exists on the planet.* And, unfortunately, at the risk of overstating it, UNDRIP has, in combination with other liberal government globalist agendas, policies and laws now that have the real potential to enslave Canadians. * (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/05/31/the-dark-side-of-congos-cobalt-rush https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/China-is-Now-Remotely-Controlling-Cobalt-Mines-In-The-Congo.html December 8, 2022) WD: I agree. The important point you are making here is land, but I might suggest that instead we should rather focus on resources because that’s what the globalists are after. And the other plan, of course, is to control the supply chain. 3 When I read your article, what caught my immediate attention, and I’m going to read it to you, folks, is Article 26 of UNDRIP: ‘Indigenous people have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied, or otherwise used or acquired.’ Does this mean we, who have white skins, should pack our bags and move back to Europe because we’re handing the country over to them? You go on to talk about giving Indigenous peoples veto power over the development of resources and there is over six hundred tribes in Canada that would potentially have this power. LG: This is a serious issue... Today, the city of Vancouver is being legally ceded to indigenous groups on the basis of UNDRIP because the province of British Columbia has signed it into law. This is a fallacy because, of course, there never was any land ownership as that concept did not exist when European settlers arrived here. What they found were civilizations that hadn’t even discovered the wheel, civilizations that were cannibalistic, brutal and warlike who operated according to the rule of conquest. It was actually the European settlers, and indigenous peoples don’t like to hear this, that brought civilization and peace into this land space although this has not been a perfect solution for these people. We need to free our minds of this ridiculous misconception that before the Europeans arrived, indigenous peoples lived in an idyllic utopia. It was a brutal time for them living without the knowledge of industrialization and the concept of fossil fuels, coal or even the use of horses for hunting. The people were at war with the planet, at war with each other and most of the time starved to death. The poorest indigenous person in Canada today is still one of the richest people in the history of civilization. It’s important to remember this because underlying UNDRIP and all the fawning over indigenous rights, is a presumption that the land was stolen and the people who arrived afterwards had no right to it. Well, that begs the question if that is true then why is the liberal government so committed to immigration? They plan to bring a million and a half people into Canada. Look at the advertisements online about Canada being a land of milk and honey to potential immigrants invited to come here. They are not being told that this country is a systematically racist one where the land was stolen. Canada is, indeed, a land of milk and honey if we Canadians learn to be grateful for it and learn to share it and unite under one banner and one flag. 4 WD: I think we have to do that, we have to remember our history... Parks Canada is now rewriting some two hundred plaques in our provincial and federal parks in order to change their colonial nature. I think it’s a good place to point out that you yourself are half aboriginal. LG: I am a status Indian and my great grandfather was once the hereditary Chief of the Carry The Kettle at St Louis, Saskatchewan. What I understand from the history of my own people, and not everyone agrees with us, we were conquered peacefully. But if people want to understand how benevolent indigenous peoples were treated in Canada, they should study the Jacksonian Indian wars in the United States and learn about the genocide that occurred during that period. The people who signed treaties with the Indigenous First Nations in Canada in the latter part of the 19th century had the benefit of hindsight for they were aware of the disastrous situation in the United States. But the reality is, from time immemorial we have lived according to the law of conquest and that’s how Canada was settled. And if you look at it honestly and geopolitically, how is the world being governed today? It’s still the same principle. China is trying to take over on all levels and the United States is trying to maintain their hegemony economically, geopolitically and militarily. This idea that we stole land belonging to somebody else is ludicrous! It’s as ludicrous as all the other leftist nonsense that’s being spread around as truth in our post modern era, but it’s all lies, folks. The reality is we live in a beautiful and perhaps the richest country in the world. I agree with Conrad Black, who still maintains that Canada’s best days are ahead of it. If we wake up, smarten up and realize how fortunate we are, how blessed we are to have such a rich country and be grateful for and unite under a common flag, Canada could become one of the world’s leaders in basically every capacity and every discipline. But we spend so much time destroying ourselves and allowing ourselves to be governed by people who are avaricious and evil and have no interest in everyday Canadians, especially indigenous peoples. The $1 trillion I mentioned earlier is valid and I challenge anyone listening to this interview to visit the nearest First Nations community or reserve as they were previously called and ask yourself if you can see where that $1 trillion went because most of the indigenous peoples in 5 this country are living in third world conditions. They are begging the federal government to give them clean water, to build schools, to get proper health care promised in the treaties that the government has never delivered on and never will for as long as we continue this sad parade where indigenous peoples are manipulated, controlled and duped by our federal government and now international interests are manipulating them as well. There are plans afoot that are now being made into law to steal the land belonging to all Canadians, not just indigenous peoples. WD: What has to be made clear then is that UNDRIP has nothing to do with indigenous rights. This is a tool of the globalists to gain control of the resources in our country. I agree with both you and Conrad Black that Canada has great potential but what we have to do to realize that potential is to refuse this kind of globalist control. There is an excellent book titled ‘Disrobing the Aboriginal Industry’ by Frances Widdowson and Albert Howard that goes into this in great detail. That $1 trillion, folks, do you know where it went? It didn’t go to the aboriginal peoples as promised by the treaties they signed, but into the hands of the politicians, lawyers and the corporate owners who are responsible for what is happening. Under the guise of UNDRIP and the umbrella of political correctness, the $1 trillion which is supposed to go to the indigenous peoples to protect their rights, has been taken by the globalists who are using this as a tool for control. LG: It’s interesting that many people in our country are now looking to Pierre Poilievre as a messiah to lead them against Trudeau in the next election. But it’s important to remember that UNDRIP came to fruition under the guidance of Mr Stephen Harper, who is an avowed globalist and friend of Klaus Schwab, as mentioned in his book, ‘Right Here, Right Now’. Several of Harper’s ministers, including Maxine Bernier accompanied him to the World Economic Forum (WEF). What Bernier learned there shocked him, which was an important moment for him in his own decision making in terms of founding his own party. There is a 2015 quotation from Gordon Gibson*, special assistant to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau (1968 to 1972), who said to the newly minted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, ‘UNDRIP, don’t go there! The 2007 United Nations construct is a muddy thing, full of problems without even a definition of indigenous. Because our Supreme Court has 6 developed a doctrine for incorporating international human rights documents into our law, ratifying UNDRIP would lead to even more chaos than our painfully constructed law to date.’ *Gordon Fullerton Gibson, former leader of the B.C. Liberal Party, 1974 to 1979 and member of the Fraser Institute, dealing with Aboriginal Policy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Gibson_(politician,_born_1937) Almost all non-conflicted legal experts agree that we have nothing to learn from a UN body dominated by the world serial human rights abusers and it’s known that Justin does not take advice from anybody. In an aside here from North Korea, just admitted to the UN, and I quote, ‘Do not proceed with the formal adoption of UNDRIP; keep it aspirational and no one will hate you but the aboriginal lawyers.’ That advice was there then and it’s true now. Part of the plan for the Supreme Court providing this veto power to indigenous groups for the development of resource projects in Canada, is that if this power was not there, there would be no impediment to Canada domestically unleashing the economic power of its resource industry. We have placed all these restrictions on the most life changing, life serving energy and natural resources that we have in our country such as oil and gas and our minerals, all those projects are now in jeopardy because indigenous groups have this veto power. And that is by design; the globalists don’t want all that energy and resources being developed domestically. They want them kept in the ground so that they are preserved until such time as they can come and seize them for themselves. Look at what countries like China and Great Britain are doing. And, indeed, Great Britain plays the role of the woke nation now but they are looking for natural resources all over the world including South Africa and South America. China, with its silk road ideology, is harvesting resources from all over the world including Canada. In fact, I just read about a section offshore, I think about 75 miles of seaway on the east coast that has now been leased exclusively to the Chinese lobster fishery. This is what UNDRIP and all these policies are about. (unable to locate article) Then there is the danger with the Trudeau liberal government and the Singh NDP coalition in power. And, of course, we must not forget the most ineffectual, inept opposition in 7 Canadian history. We have had a minority government in this county since 2019 and we have not had a single non-confidence vote in parliament since then. I’m afraid I disagree with the people who put their hopes in Pierre Poilievre. The difference for me between Justin Trudeau and his party and Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives is the difference between coke and pepsi. WD: There is something we should make clear here, if I understand your article correctly, of all the UN nations there are only two that have not yet officially signed on with UNDRIP, the United States and Canada. Are we not yet officially on board? LG: Canada has already signed on to UNDRIP but they have not yet implemented it. And the reason why is they can’t, it has to be done provincially. British Columbia has signed on and I’m not sure about Ontario. Alberta has not adopted UNDRIP and I don’t think it will. The problem is because we are a federal country, the government can’t impose UNDRIP federally, but they are placing enormous pressure on the provinces to adopt it. Indigenous groups are also lobbying very hard to persuade the provinces to adopt it. We just had a provincial election in Alberta and the subject of UNDRIP was raised on several occasions during the debates. We are hopeful that provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan, because they are mindful of the importance of natural resources, will not sign on to UNDRIP. WD: I need to clarify something not just for myself but also for our viewers... My understanding of this from speaking to Brian Peckford is that under our Constitution, the federal government can make unilateral decisions that, theoretically, would apply to all Canadians, but a province that had no say in the passing of that law can refuse to enforce it. The Alberta Sovereignty Act and the Saskatchewan First Act is a formal declaration by those provinces that as they didn’t play a part in adopting UNDRIP, therefore they are not required under the laws of the Canadian Constitution, to implement it. My question is, what level of protection does that provide to the provinces? LG: Historically speaking, both Canada and the United States being geographically vast, have different cultures. There is a big difference politically between California and Florida, 8 just as there is between Alberta and Quebec or Ontario and New Brunswick which the writers of our Canadian Constitution understood. Canada, in reality, is a federation of sovereign provinces while America is a federation of sovereign states. Constitutionally speaking, we do not have a national government in Canada. The liberals, beginning with Pierre Trudeau, campaigned to become recognized as a national government, but there is no such thing as a national government of Canada. The federal government has certain prescribed powers under Section 92 of the Constitution while natural resources, property, civil rights, health care and education are all under the exclusive jurisdiction of the provinces under this section. But, unfortunately, and Brian Peckford talks a lot about this, that constitutional structure, which was built to last and works very well if it’s followed, is being inverted and perverted by the federal government. They are extracting so much money in taxes from the provinces, local communities and municipalities that there is no money to fund health care. The provinces have to start flexing their muscles in terms of what is possible and proper and legally available under Section 92 of the Constitution. You are starting to see this happen in Alberta and Saskatchewan while Quebec has already paved this road showing the other provinces how this can be done. In the province of Quebec, they collect their own income tax, they have their own unemployment insurance and pensions and they do not subscribe to the carbon tax, in other words, they have exempted themselves from all this federal government nonsense by exercising their Section 92 powers. Also, where appropriate, they have also exercised their discretion under Section 33 of the Constitution, the Notwithstanding Clause. Let us take the carbon tax, for example, where Alberta, Saskatchewan and other provinces challenged it all the way up to the Supreme Court level and lost, these provinces could have invoked Section 33, the Notwithstanding Clause, and simply said that carbon tax was a federal law and they were not going to enforce it on a provincial level. This is a trend I think we are also going to see in provinces like Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba in the area of gun control, energy and hopefully, indeed, on UNDRIP. If they don’t take this stand, the provinces will become defunct and I believe this is the long term goal of the globalists. 9 WD: Thank you for that excellent explanation, Leighton, because those are my views, folks. There has been so much reaction in this country to Trudeau and it’s understandable as he is the lowest in the link working for the WEF, and he is a traitor who betrayed our country. But the point I want to make here is that this is a distraction. If we want to protect our rights, our sovereignty, we have to go after it at the provincial level and demand that our provincial government stand up for their constitutional rights. If you focus on Trudeau you are wasting your time. It’s what they are trying to do with the WHO International Health Treaty. The next time the federal government closes down businesses, mandates the wearing of masks and staying six feet apart and lining up for mandatory shots which, as you and I both pointed out, is right there on their website, what excuse are they going to make? ‘Well, it’s out of our hands as it’s being dictated by the International Health Treaty’, while what Canadians should be saying, ‘Wait a minute, I didn’t sign onto this health treaty, nor did my province.’ If we stand up for our rights they can’t force that on us or our province. LG: Exactly! And what you say about Trudeau is quite correct. A lot of what he does is designed to make him a lightning rod. And, in fact, he serves a similar purpose in Canada to what Donald Trump does in the United States; he attracts a lot of fire. Dr Jordan Peterson gave a most perceptive description of Justin Trudeau several years ago. (link and date) He said that Trudeau is just a medium for a message. He is like these microphones we are talking into right now. In truth you don’t even need him; he is but one of many redundant leaders such as Joseph Biden of the United States, a senile man incapable of coherent speech. This alone should indicate who is running the United States. Justin Trudeau is being given orders and he is implementing a globalist plan. You will not solve the problem by getting rid of him for there is a deeper rot in our country. Like Conrad Black, I’m optimistic that Canada’s best days are ahead if we take action now to prevent the full implementation of UNDRIP which will stop the globalists from taking our land and resources. Without land we will no longer be either a nation or a country. WD: Now that our viewers have a clearer understanding of what UNDRIP is and how we can resist it, I would like you to paint a picture of what is going to happen to provinces such as British Columbia as a result of adopting UNDRIP. 10 LG: What you are going to see is what I call virtue signalling run amok when you take this all the way out to its last rational, possible conclusion, which is what is happening in Vancouver. The provincial government is negotiating the secession of its land under Vancouver to indigenous groups. Essentially, and this is how absurd this is, what’s going to happen concerns money and control, for example, there will be some form of lease payback system which the Canadian taxpayers are going to have to pay to these indigenous groups to live and occupy the city of Vancouver. WD: Before we move forward, you mention that the Canadian tax payers are going to have to pay for this but surely that concerns the province of British Columbia and not the other provinces that did not sign on to UNDRIP? LG: Yes, the land is in British Columbia but who, constitutionally speaking, is responsible for the Indians but the federal government, the invisible hand. If these indigenous groups are operating according to self governance or sovereignty, then this would still be absurd as they are merely a front for the federal government. As the WHO has control over our federal government right now, the hand is the globalists and the federal government is the glove that is concealing them. With respect to the question of who will be paying the income taxes for British Columbia, all the provinces are going to be taxed and this money will then be leaving Canada. There is no way to conceive of UNDRIP or any other federal government policy, whether you go through medically assisted death (MAID), the radical transgender ideology (SOGI 123, LGBTQ) and the open attack the prime minister has made on families in this country. We actually have areas in Canada where school children are being forced to go to school where they are indoctrinated in radical queer theory by the federal government. When you look at the climate change hysteria where Singh and Trudeau are raising their voices in parliament saying forest fires are the product of climate change when investigators have confirmed these fires are deliberately being caused by human beings, it’s obvious that the policies of the globalists are designed to both destroy Canada and to steal our wealth and resources. Canada is a huge prize in terms of resources. When you take into account all the 11 mines and minerals, oil and gas, water and trees, there is no greater prize anywhere in the world than in Canada and the globalists know it. Canada is a country whose military has been reduced in power to the degree that it has no effective fighting force to defend it. (links?) There are weather balloons*(5G/wifi?) now entering Canada and we have to call in the assistance of American firepower to shoot them down because our country doesn’t have the airplanes to do so. (link?) This is currently the decrepit state of affairs in our country which the globalist policies, including UNDRIP, are bringing about. It’s ironic to me that people who like to raise the subject of the indigenous problem in Canada are always talking about colonization. How do they explain the mass immigration into this country and the Chinese and globalist control? We have Chinese police stations in Canada (link) and we have also confirmed Chinese government interference in our national elections, in other words, Canada is being colonized right now. We have to wake up and take control of our country or we are going to lose it. *Dr Barry Trower & Julian Rose/5G & wifi technology https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKkB8sg6JBM WD: I agree. And the remedy for this is, as we mentioned earlier, that people must stand up and insist that their provincial governments exercise their rights to self government. And, folks, I don’t know if there is a single person watching my show who voted NDP in Alberta, and if there is, think about this... It doesn’t matter whether you like Danielle Smith or not because if UNDRIP and the other policies are pushed through in our country, it will become irrelevant who you elect to your provincial government because they will not control your province, the globalists will. So, regardless of what your political stance is, you have to insist that your provincial government steps up to the plate and defends your right to self government in your province. If they are already doing that, support that government, because if you don’t, you are going to wake up one day and find out you don’t have any rights left. 12 LG: Yes, that’s a great point, Will, and I agree with you. If there is a salvation for Canada, it is by a renaissance back to its original form which is the Constitution Act. The wise men, who are castigated now and have had their statues knocked over and their names ripped off school buildings and universities in this country, wrote a piece of law that created the nation of Canada that has been, for the most part, very successful for the past one hundred and fifty years. And, at it’s best when it has worked well was when the provinces operated to some degree as sovereign entities. If provinces like Quebec obviously, and Alberta and Saskatchewan have leadership that are willing to flex their constitutional rights and stand up to Ottawa, this will set an example to the other provinces that they don’t have to be pushed around by the bully in the schoolyard. This will provide an important impetus to restore Canada to its dignity, to rehabilitate our country constitutionally, legally, socially and economically. Unfortunately, we live in a country where the greater Toronto area has more of a say in our federal elections than Alberta and Saskatchewan combined. Trying to solve these problems by voting in a different government in Ottawa is defeating the purpose. I agree with you that provincially, people should put pressure on their MLAs and if we vote in the right leadership, we can restore provincial dignity. I actually quote in my article from Section 92 A of the Constitution, referencing the Saskatchewan First Act which, of course, has its close cousin in the Alberta Sovereignty Act, that we want to restore provincial sovereignty over the exploration for non-renewable natural resources. An example of this is regulation of fertilizer use in Saskatchewan which is very important to their farmers, including application, production quantities and emissions, and we want to restore sovereignty over the development, conservation and management of non-renewable, natural and forestry resources. Meanwhile the federal government is talking about a national forestry service that’s going to deal with emergencies such as forest fires, a further encroachment into provincial sovereignty. And finally, the operation of sites and facilities for the generation and production of electrical and other forms of energy. *(an e.g.) Alberta freedom group & Ted Kunz of VCC: 'Freedom is Not Freedom' - Ted Kunz & AlbertaFree.com https://www.bitchute.com/vaccinechoicecanada/ 13 What I would like to say to the indigenous people watching this interview is this, ‘Think about where you live; is it Alberta, Saskatchewan or Manitoba? Then ask yourself are you a person who lives in Alberta; do you live in Saskatchewan or Manitoba?’ You will find that you have much more in common with the people in the province in which you live rather than in Ottawa or Brussels. So, instead of criticizing the Alberta Sovereignty Act or the Saskatchewan First Act, understand that these laws are trying to preserve the sovereignty over resources that impact you every day of your life. And, I dare say, because I live in Alberta, that if an indigenous person sat down at his or her kitchen table and took out a piece of paper and put a line down the middle then made a list of what they are receiving or benefiting from Alberta versus Ottawa, one side would vastly outweigh the other. Ottawa is not helping indigenous peoples. In fact, they are enslaving them and they have always done so. This will continue for as long as indigenous peoples allow this to happen. If you want to see the commitment that Danielle Smith has to indigenous peoples, just the other day she was at the National Coalition of Chiefs Energy Conference, talking to indigenous leaders who want pipelines and natural gas projects to be built in Canada and Alberta because that creates jobs and wealth for the indigenous peoples and their communities. Neither Trudeau, Poilievre nor Singh were there. Danielle Smith is trying to create relationships and forge partnerships with indigenous business leaders. Canada belongs to all of us and we have to get past this mine versus yours mentality and understand we are all Canadians. We are living here together, its a great country, its a beautiful country, its the best country in the world. Canada could be the richest country in terms of resources. But, as long as we’re fighting with each other and we allow ourselves to be divided by political laws such as UNDRIP, and these evil, soul destroying, anti human policies that are being turned into laws by the federal government, we truly are a nation of lost people. We’re just wandering in the wilderness and even the wilderness will be taken away from us. WD: So, here are some important takeaways from this interview. First, don’t look at UNDRIP and then point a finger at the indigenous peoples because they are not the villain here, they are victims as much as the rest of us are, they’re being used. This is the same for the Chinese people living in Canada. They’re not our enemy, the Chinese government is, and 14 many of them came to Canada to get away from what’s happening in China. They are on our side. We talked to many indigenous people and they understand this too, that UNDRIP and all these policies being made into law are not going to help them any more than the $1 trillion in the last thirty years has helped them. I want to address something else you said, Leighton, about who you are and where you are. Are you an Albertan, an Ontarian or a Newfoundlander? Yes. And you need to think of yourself that way. Think of yourself as a member of your province first and then as a Canadian because many of you who watch my show are on the political right as Leighton and I are. But these days the political right has almost become more of a moral stance than a political one. The problems we have right now with this globalist agenda have nothing to do with right or left. This has everything to do with centralization and this is the direction we have been going in for the last thirty to forty years. The reason why we need the Saskatchewan First Act or the Alberta Sovereignty Act is because what those provinces are doing is taking back the power they gave away for decades to the federal government even though that is unconstitutional. So, if you think of yourself first as a Newfoundlander, an Ontarian or Quebecois you will remember that your provincial rights belong to you and your fellow provincial citizens and it’s decentralization that will solve what’s happening. The only reason why the globalists can carry out their policies for power and control is by centralizing power. If we decentralize, we take the power back to the people who live in these areas and the problem is solved. LG: I agree. This is the last comment I would like to leave the viewers with... There was a great British thinker named Dr Roger Scruton, who died in 2017 leaving behind a legacy of incredible books. One of his concepts is something that Canadians really need to ponder carefully. He talked about oikophilia, the Greek word ‘oikos’ means home and ‘philia’ is one of the three Greek words for love. If you think for a moment about policies like UNDRIP and what they are designed to do or what the federal government is doing in our country, this globalist agenda, it’s all aimed at destruction of our love of home. Sadly, we are in pride month right now and think of how upsetting it is to learn that the prime minister has taken down our national flag and replaced it with a flag outside his office that doesn’t represent the values of a vast majority of Canadians. In my home city of Cold 15 Lake, that flag is flying at City Hall instead of the Alberta flag or the Canadian flag. Well, why is that; why focus on a flag? It’s this destruction of our love of home. If we are going to be a country, we have to love our country and each other enough to work together, to live together peacefully in a way that we can all flourish. When you look at all these policies, that’s what they’re designed to destroy, to divide people, to set us against each other so that we are not united under a common logo, a common flag under a common sense of community where we are working together and helping and supporting each other. That’s the kind of country Canada was when I grew up here in it. Once you sift through all the rubble, I think it’s still there. But we need to change the way we think about our country; think in terms of this love of home, this oikophilia. If we start there and take Will’s point, what is your home? Your home is the province where you live; your home is your community, your friends, neighbours and family instead of subjugating ourselves to these globalists and a federal government that exist thousands of kilometers away from our doors.
