0:00:01.124,0:00:04.777
Have you noticed how they're [br]talking about terrorism a lot?
0:00:04.777,0:00:07.075
Yeah.
0:00:08.206,0:00:11.983
I just find it confusing [br]'cause I don't know what the word means.
0:00:11.983,0:00:15.817
And I looked at the news to try to learn.
0:00:15.817,0:00:19.135
And one of the journalists asked [br]one of the Conservative ministers,
0:00:19.135,0:00:22.595
this guy Peter MacKay, [br]who used to be in charge of the army.
0:00:22.595,0:00:25.982
They were like "what is [br]the governments definition of terrorism?"
0:00:25.982,0:00:28.420
And he said "Look it up."
0:00:29.998,0:00:31.690
Uhhhhh... OK.
0:00:33.711,0:00:36.857
So I did, and in the Oxford dictionary
0:00:36.857,0:00:39.300
the definition of terrorism is
0:00:39.300,0:00:47.859
the un-authorized or un-official use of violence[br]in pursuit of political aims.
0:00:47.859,0:00:49.870
Un-official or un-authorized.
0:00:49.870,0:00:53.665
I didn't realize that these terrorists, [br]their real problem
0:00:53.665,0:01:01.213
was that they're not doin' the right paperwork?
0:01:01.213,0:01:02.499
But I actually wanted to know,
0:01:02.499,0:01:05.930
so I found another document that was online,
0:01:05.930,0:01:10.709
and it was released by CSIS, our spy agency,[br]that they're trying to give more powers to,
0:01:10.709,0:01:12.876
and some journalists a couple years ago
0:01:12.876,0:01:15.106
made them release this internal document
0:01:15.106,0:01:18.961
where they listed all the terror threats in Canada,
0:01:18.961,0:01:23.066
all the different kinds of people [br]who might do terrorism.
0:01:23.066,0:01:27.989
And I want to read you the actual excerpt [br]from the document right now.
0:01:27.989,0:01:31.950
The only group that didn't qualify [br]as a terrorist threat
0:01:31.950,0:01:37.111
was the neo-Nazi [br]and white supremacist groups.
0:01:37.111,0:01:40.962
Let's hear them out.
0:01:40.962,0:01:44.297
Um, this is from the document, [br]I didn't change any of this.
0:01:44.297,0:01:50.392
"The majority of individuals [br]involved in this milieu in Canada"
0:01:50.392,0:01:52.282
Milieu.
0:01:53.120,0:01:55.039
That's a bit generous.
0:01:55.039,0:01:58.016
I guess... these are like Nazis...
0:01:58.016,0:02:00.450
kinda like Impressionist painters,
0:02:00.450,0:02:07.367
and they're hangin' out in a cafe, [br]just talkin' about their ideas.
0:02:07.367,0:02:10.114
"The majority of individuals [br]involved in this milieu in Canada"
0:02:10.114,0:02:17.614
hold strong racist anti-immigration views, BUT!
0:02:17.614,0:02:22.946
do not overly propose serious acts of violence."
0:02:22.946,0:02:25.502
I don't know what that means.
0:02:25.502,0:02:31.421
"For example, they may organize [br]anti-immigration poster campaigns,
0:02:31.421,0:02:35.879
or harass Aboriginals and visible minorities."
0:02:39.590,0:02:41.854
Um, just to be clear, when they say harass,
0:02:41.854,0:02:47.574
they're not talking about, like, y'know, white [br]supremacists drinkin' a lot of soda at a sleepover
0:02:47.574,0:02:51.993
and then like prank calling some people of colour.
0:02:51.993,0:03:02.878
Sayin' like "hey, how's that uh makin' 81 cents [br]for every dollar that white people make. mahahaa"
0:03:02.878,0:03:07.426
That's not what they were doing.
0:03:07.426,0:03:10.260
This is a real incident that they considered [br]when writing this report.
0:03:10.260,0:03:12.040
And actually happened just a few blocks from here,
0:03:12.040,0:03:13.925
I don't know if anyone remembers this.
0:03:13.925,0:03:17.645
A couple years ago there were these two [br]white supremacists at a house party.
0:03:17.645,0:03:22.725
As they left the party, they saw [br]a Filipino man sleeping on a couch.
0:03:22.725,0:03:26.512
And they lit him on fire.
0:03:26.512,0:03:28.316
OK there's some heads shaking, [br]there's no laughter,
0:03:28.316,0:03:31.344
that's good, you're passing a test right now.
0:03:31.344,0:03:33.655
They lit him on fire.
0:03:33.655,0:03:40.204
And as it said here they "do not [br]overly propose serious acts of violence."
0:03:40.204,0:03:45.166
I don't know how you more overly propose [br]something than actually doing it.
