1
00:00:01,124 --> 00:00:04,777
Have you noticed how they're 
talking about terrorism a lot?

2
00:00:04,777 --> 00:00:07,075
Yeah.

3
00:00:08,206 --> 00:00:11,983
I just find it confusing 
'cause I don't know what the word means.

4
00:00:11,983 --> 00:00:15,817
And I looked at the news to try to learn.

5
00:00:15,817 --> 00:00:19,135
And one of the journalists asked 
one of the Conservative ministers,

6
00:00:19,135 --> 00:00:22,595
this guy Peter MacKay, 
who used to be in charge of the army.

7
00:00:22,595 --> 00:00:25,982
They were like <i>"what is 
the governments definition of terrorism?"</i>

8
00:00:25,982 --> 00:00:28,420
And he said <i>"Look it up."</i>

9
00:00:29,998 --> 00:00:31,690
Uhhhhh... OK.

10
00:00:33,711 --> 00:00:36,857
So I did, and in the Oxford dictionary

11
00:00:36,857 --> 00:00:39,300
the definition of terrorism is

12
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:47,859
the un-authorized or un-official use of violence
in pursuit of political aims.

13
00:00:47,859 --> 00:00:49,870
Un-official or un-authorized.

14
00:00:49,870 --> 00:00:53,665
I didn't realize that these terrorists, 
their real problem

15
00:00:53,665 --> 00:01:01,213
was that they're not doin' the right paperwork?

16
00:01:01,213 --> 00:01:02,499
But I actually wanted to know,

17
00:01:02,499 --> 00:01:05,930
so I found another document that was online,

18
00:01:05,930 --> 00:01:10,709
and it was released by CSIS, our spy agency,
that they're trying to give more powers to,

19
00:01:10,709 --> 00:01:12,876
and some journalists a couple years ago

20
00:01:12,876 --> 00:01:15,106
made them release this internal document

21
00:01:15,106 --> 00:01:18,961
where they listed all the terror threats in Canada,

22
00:01:18,961 --> 00:01:23,066
all the different kinds of people 
who might do terrorism.

23
00:01:23,066 --> 00:01:27,989
And I want to read you the actual excerpt 
from the document right now.

24
00:01:27,989 --> 00:01:31,950
The only group that didn't qualify 
as a terrorist threat

25
00:01:31,950 --> 00:01:37,111
was the neo-Nazi 
and white supremacist groups.

26
00:01:37,111 --> 00:01:40,962
Let's hear them out.

27
00:01:40,962 --> 00:01:44,297
Um, this is from the document, 
I didn't change any of this.

28
00:01:44,297 --> 00:01:50,392
<i>"The majority of individuals 
involved in this milieu in Canada"</i>

29
00:01:50,392 --> 00:01:52,282
Milieu.

30
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,039
That's a bit generous.

31
00:01:55,039 --> 00:01:58,016
I guess... these are like Nazis...

32
00:01:58,016 --> 00:02:00,450
kinda like Impressionist painters,

33
00:02:00,450 --> 00:02:07,367
and they're hangin' out in a cafe, 
just talkin' about their ideas.

34
00:02:07,367 --> 00:02:10,114
<i>"The majority of individuals 
involved in this milieu in Canada"</i>

35
00:02:10,114 --> 00:02:17,614
<i>hold strong racist anti-immigration views, BUT!</i>

36
00:02:17,614 --> 00:02:22,946
<i>do not overly propose serious acts of violence."</i>

37
00:02:22,946 --> 00:02:25,502
I don't know what that means.

38
00:02:25,502 --> 00:02:31,421
<i>"For example, they may organize 
anti-immigration poster campaigns,</i>

39
00:02:31,421 --> 00:02:35,879
<i>or harass Aboriginals and visible minorities."</i>

40
00:02:39,590 --> 00:02:41,854
Um, just to be clear, when they say harass,

41
00:02:41,854 --> 00:02:47,574
they're not talking about, like, y'know, white 
supremacists drinkin' a lot of soda at a sleepover

42
00:02:47,574 --> 00:02:51,993
and then like prank calling some people of colour.

43
00:02:51,993 --> 00:03:02,878
Sayin' like <i>"hey, how's that uh makin' 81 cents 
for every dollar that white people make. mahahaa"</i>

44
00:03:02,878 --> 00:03:07,426
That's not what they were doing.

45
00:03:07,426 --> 00:03:10,260
This is a real incident that they considered 
when writing this report.

46
00:03:10,260 --> 00:03:12,040
And actually happened just a few blocks from here,

47
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,925
I don't know if anyone remembers this.

48
00:03:13,925 --> 00:03:17,645
A couple years ago there were these two 
white supremacists at a house party.

49
00:03:17,645 --> 00:03:22,725
As they left the party, they saw 
a Filipino man sleeping on a couch.

50
00:03:22,725 --> 00:03:26,512
And they lit him on fire.

51
00:03:26,512 --> 00:03:28,316
OK there's some heads shaking, 
there's no laughter,

52
00:03:28,316 --> 00:03:31,344
that's good, you're passing a test right now.

53
00:03:31,344 --> 00:03:33,655
They lit him on fire.

54
00:03:33,655 --> 00:03:40,204
And as it said here they <i>"do not 
overly propose serious acts of violence."</i>

55
00:03:40,204 --> 00:03:45,166
I don't know how you more overly propose 
something than actually doing it.
