1
00:00:05,279 --> 00:00:08,279
um

2
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,560
welcome back

3
00:00:34,239 --> 00:00:40,320
i'm very happy to be in canada

4
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:43,520
and my presence here proves that canada

5
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:45,840
remains a country governed by laws

6
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:48,079
not by here today gone tomorrow

7
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,800
politicians and their whims

8
00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:52,879
and that justice counts in canada and

9
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,920
i'm very grateful to the honourable

10
00:00:52,879 --> 00:00:57,360
judge mosley for demonstrating that what

11
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,800
message do you have for the conservative

12
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,680
government

13
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,640
well

14
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,480
you know

15
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,360
it's a dangerous thing

16
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,040
that canada has become so isolated in

17
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,960
the world

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,119
that it has

19
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:13,600
allowed itself to become

20
00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:17,520
basically an embassy for the

21
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:19,680
most extreme israeli political line

22
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,439
mr netanyahu has almost no friends in

23
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,439
the world including in the white house

24
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:25,439
but he sure has friends here

25
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:26,720
in canada and not many people can't

26
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:27,759
quite understand

27
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,479
why

28
00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:32,880
um there seems no reason why

29
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:35,280
canada which was so widely respected

30
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,079
even loved in the world not so very long

31
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,320
ago

32
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:40,320
it should so identify over identify

33
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:43,280
itself by anybody's standards even a

34
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:44,479
conservatives standards over identify

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,040
itself with

36
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:48,960
really very extreme israeli politicians

37
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,799
what message do you or or what message

38
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,399
will you deliver to people tomorrow then

39
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:55,200
about your experience

40
00:01:52,399 --> 00:01:57,600
with what happened to you uh well first

41
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,520
i will talk about what happened to me

42
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,680
not just because i want to get off my

43
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,680
chest and but i do

44
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,200
this has been extremely

45
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,920
searing

46
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,040
uh

47
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,160
indeed

48
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:12,080
surreal experience for me to be sitting

49
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,239
for almost 25 years

50
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,040
in the british parliament whilst a

51
00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:19,920
commonwealth g7 country is declaring you

52
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,720
to be a security risk and a terrorist

53
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:23,280
is

54
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,200
is searing

55
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,840
and it has affected my life in many ways

56
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:30,720
which i shall adam bray at the meeting

57
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,480
tomorrow but much much more importantly

58
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,400
is what it means for you

59
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:37,280
and what it means for you as the

60
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,959
honorable judge said in his 60-page

61
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,120
judicial caning

62
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:42,720
of

63
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,080
jason kinney

64
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,000
is that

65
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,959
canada's laws

66
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,720
and anti-terrorism as a rubric

67
00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:51,680
is being used

68
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,160
to

69
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,680
suppress legitimate political debate

70
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,920
here in the country

71
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,920
and that's important in itself

72
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:02,080
if you believe in democratic values but

73
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:04,239
it's also important arguably more

74
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,400
important in that you will reach flawed

75
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:08,480
conclusions as a country

76
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,840
if you don't hear all the legitimate

77
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,280
points of view

78
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:15,040
argued out in public in proper debate

79
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,080
and that's exactly what's happened

80
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,319
canada has reached a deeply flawed set

81
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,840
of foreign policy positions

82
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:25,360
and partly because it has set out to

83
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,519
criminalize

84
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,920
views which are widely shared in the

85
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:31,680
country and around the world and must be

86
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:32,959
heard i guess this not going to shut you

87
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,360
up then is it

88
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:37,680
no i mean the good thing is

89
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,120
that the as any bookseller could have

90
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,519
told them for free

91
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,360
the book you try to ban always ends up

92
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:45,840
on the best seller list

93
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,000
and i expect that the audience for what

94
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:51,519
i have to say

95
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,840
tomorrow and indeed through the

96
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:55,439
conduit of the media

97
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,239
will be far far larger than it ever

98
00:03:55,439 --> 00:04:00,239
would have been if mr kenny hadn't

99
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:02,000
undertaken this foolish thing but he's

100
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:04,080
cost the canadian taxpayer a pretty

101
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,799
penny and i don't suppose pennies are

102
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,840
that plentiful nowadays here or anywhere

103
00:04:06,799 --> 00:04:11,760
else

104
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,959
uh he's damaged canada's reputation as i

105
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,400
said at the press conference the other

106
00:04:12,959 --> 00:04:16,079
day i don't know if it's because he's a

107
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,840
fool or a nave

108
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:20,160
i'm not sure which would be worse but i

109
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:23,120
am sure that canada deserves better than

110
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,639
that are you going after them yes i will

111
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:28,000
have a meeting with my

112
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:29,280
legal team barbara jackman i'm seeking

113
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,600
redress

114
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:35,600
for the damages that has been uh done

115
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,600
and

116
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,759
so this is not a final

117
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:43,160
round between me and

118
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:43,160
mr kenny

119
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,840
well i'll be talking to my legal team

120
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:48,880
about joshua avenues

121
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:51,120
exist

122
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,120
but

123
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,000
indeed one of them is behind me who may

124
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:01,199
very well want to

125
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,840
want to have a say on that

126
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:04,720
but one thing's for sure

127
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:07,520
i

128
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,560
have been defamed in a way

129
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,680
which

130
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:14,240
it's scarcely possible to exaggerate

131
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,280
i mean for a high-profile politician to

132
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,680
be

133
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:20,639
announced to the world as a terrorist

134
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:23,600
and a security threat

135
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:24,960
placed my life in danger i'm not being

136
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,800
melodramatic

137
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,919
there are crazy people

138
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,240
in the world

139
00:05:27,919 --> 00:05:32,560
who if i really were the person jason

140
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,080
kenny painted me as

141
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,600
might have thought themselves fully

142
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,400
justified in

143
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,600
putting a bullet in me

144
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,600
and so

145
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:44,400
my life has been quite severely affected

146
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,360
in many ways as i say i shall run

147
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,520
through them

148
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,639
at the meeting tomorrow

149
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,280
and i

150
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:54,080
i'm seeking redress for that one way or

151
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:56,160
the other whether through defamation or

152
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,840
through some other form

153
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,680
of redress so

154
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:02,720
although mr kenny has already cost you

155
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,080
all a pretty penny it may very well turn

156
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,840
out to be

157
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,840
pretty more pennies too

158
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:14,080
well the officers were very courteous

159
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,319
uh but uh

160
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,240
the interview ranged rather

161
00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:19,440
rather further than a normal uh

162
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,800
immigration

163
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,560
interview

164
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,240
would

165
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,720
they were interested in

166
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:29,520
my political analysis of many

167
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:32,720
international political situations which

168
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,560
was flattering but time consuming

169
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,680
and i was aware that uh there were

170
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,759
people outside waiting to uh hear me but

171
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:43,199
uh they were uh i i couldn't fault them

172
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:47,199
at all for courtesy and uh manners and

173
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:49,759
uh good old canadian efficiency so uh no

174
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:51,520
complaints

175
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:54,560
are you aware of the the work that

176
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,880
canadians have done to bring you back

177
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,400
not only am i aware of it i'm filled

178
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,680
with

179
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,599
gratitude and admiration for the

180
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,039
legal team for the

181
00:07:03,599 --> 00:07:07,919
political team

182
00:07:05,039 --> 00:07:08,800
for all those who have struggled for 18

183
00:07:07,919 --> 00:07:12,240
months

184
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,680
to get me back into the country

185
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,160
and

186
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,479
it's a great tribute to them that they

187
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,000
were not intimidated they were not

188
00:07:18,479 --> 00:07:21,840
terrorized

189
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,240
into believing

190
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,759
that they were somehow

191
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:29,680
on the side of a

192
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:30,880
a terrorist or a security threat

193
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,560
my

194
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,840
broader feeling though

195
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,400
is that

196
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:38,720
this visit will be at least tacitly

197
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,720
welcomed by far wider

198
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,639
sectors of canadian society than just

199
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,879
people who support me

200
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:46,479
because i think there is a feeling in

201
00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:48,400
canada i get the impression that there

202
00:07:46,479 --> 00:07:50,319
is a feeling in canada that there's

203
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,440
something not quite right

204
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:53,039
about

205
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,800
continually banning

206
00:07:53,039 --> 00:07:58,479
and excluding people

207
00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:00,960
and thus attempting to push

208
00:07:58,479 --> 00:08:04,319
views which are against the views of the

209
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:06,960
government here into the margins to

210
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:08,639
criminalize them to marginalize them i

211
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,639
think most canadians whether they agree

212
00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:12,560
with my political views or not just

213
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:14,080
instinctively know that that is wrong

214
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,000
and not a good thing

215
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:19,039
not a good place to be

216
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,360
so thank you to all the campaigners

217
00:08:19,039 --> 00:08:22,560
any more questions

218
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,120
what do you think about

219
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,440
the canadian media that was

220
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,520
delayed in responding to certain

221
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,599
documents

222
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,360
you know i i uh

223
00:08:31,599 --> 00:08:34,880
i didn't know whether to laugh

224
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:38,320
or cry

225
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:41,200
when i read on my google alert all these

226
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:43,120
headlines popping up from right-wing

227
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,839
canadian newspapers

228
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,920
saying galloway has lost

229
00:08:45,839 --> 00:08:50,320
in the court

230
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,480
i must be charitable i suppose and say

231
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:55,360
they hadn't read the judgment

232
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,640
but if i've lost how come i'm standing

233
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,519
here

234
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:02,160
i'm standing here because i won

235
00:08:59,519 --> 00:09:02,160
and i won

236
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,480
i won

237
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:16,000
i'm standing here because i won

238
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:18,399
and i won because canada still is a

239
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,600
country governed by laws that has a

240
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:23,120
judiciary

241
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:24,560
that will not be bullied or cowed

242
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,880
or terrorized

243
00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:28,240
into rubber stamping

244
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,480
the decisions

245
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,640
the caprice the whim

246
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,120
of here today and gone tomorrow

247
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,720
politicians and i must tell you you're

248
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,800
very lucky to have that

249
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:42,240
not many countries in the world have

250
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,920
such a judiciary we do and you do

251
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,480
and that's maybe one of the things that

252
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,680
makes us close

253
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,000
any others

254
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:51,000
sorry um

255
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,320
oh
