There are growing concerns regarding the safe and barrier obstructionfree access to key infrastructure such as

1 minute, 56 seconds
businesses, highways, roadways, and overpasses as well as cultural and community sites like places of worship.
2:09
2 minutes, 9 seconds
Ding ding ding ding. Woohoo. Woohoo. Let’s keep going.
2:16
2 minutes, 16 seconds
The province is considering legislative and non-legislative changes that could address obstruction to such
2:23
2 minutes, 23 seconds
infrastructure and provide enforcement tools. Let’s go through these. This posting has one area of focus led by the
Chapter 2: Analyzing the proposal
2:32
2 minutes, 32 seconds
ministry of the solicitor general with partner ministries.
2:38
2 minutes, 38 seconds
Our solicitor general is Michael Kursner.
2:45
2 minutes, 45 seconds
Do you remember Michael Kursner, our solicitor general? Let me refresh your memory. This is Michael Kursner
2:55
2 minutes, 55 seconds
talking with Israel, proud MPPP of York Center and Ontario Solicitor General, unapologetically proud of my province,
3:03
3 minutes, 3 seconds
proud of my Jewish community, and proud that we stand together in allyship. And I want to thank the Persian community
3:11
3 minutes, 11 seconds
for coming out today as well. What’s wrong? Come on.
3:20
3 minutes, 20 seconds
That’s our Ontario solicitor general, Michael Kursner. Let’s get back to the legislation that he’s hoping to ram down our throats.
3:30
3 minutes, 30 seconds
Here’s what they’re looking at.
3:31
3 minutes, 31 seconds
examining various options to advance the public’s safe access to key economic and community infrastructure that is free from obstruction and intimidation.
3:44
3 minutes, 44 seconds
Now, you’ll recall that Ontario played host to all these arms manufacturers and
3:51
3 minutes, 51 seconds
armaments expos that were happening and people went out to protest in Ottawa against Cansek.
3:59
3 minutes, 59 seconds
Well, if this legislation goes through, we won’t be able to protest against Israeli arms
4:08
4 minutes, 8 seconds
manufacturers and systems like Elbbit in [snorts] our province.
4:14
4 minutes, 14 seconds
Let’s continue. The government of Ontario is seeking input and options to advance barrier and obstructionfree
4:21
4 minutes, 21 seconds
access, roadway obstructions. Should the province consider, Here’s a question.
Chapter 3: Government enforcement tools
4:26
4 minutes, 26 seconds
Should the province consider a legislated prohibition of roadway obstruction? Should the province consider any of the following?
4:34
4 minutes, 34 seconds
Why or why not? A. Developing new police authorities to direct individuals to
4:41
4 minutes, 41 seconds
cease obstructing a roadway, including bridges or overpasses. So throughout this genocide, people have
4:50
4 minutes, 50 seconds
stood on overpasses and highways holding signs saying, "Stop the genocide.
4:57
4 minutes, 57 seconds
arms embargoed now that will be done away with under these new legislations.
5:04
5 minutes, 4 seconds
B instituting a new provincial offense for individuals that don’t comply
5:10
5 minutes, 10 seconds
with this new direction. C. creating a new requirement for individuals to provide identifying information for the
5:19
5 minutes, 19 seconds
purposes of issuing a provincial offense notice in relation to this new offense.
5:27
5 minutes, 27 seconds
New meaning to stop and frisk D. Making new arrest powers for police
5:36
5 minutes, 36 seconds
where there is a failure to comply with the duty to identify. This power would exist only where an individual refuses
5:46
5 minutes, 46 seconds
to identify themselves and identity cannot be otherwise ascertained
5:53
5 minutes, 53 seconds
and all of that for the purposes of laying an offense charge for the roadway obstruction.
6:00
6 minutes
E are there other specific legislative or non-legislative changes that the provincial government should consider?
6:07
6 minutes, 7 seconds
Hey, what else do you want to see?
6:11
6 minutes, 11 seconds
Zionists, what would you like to see happen to those protesting in the streets? Let us know, says the Ontario government. Let’s keep going.
6:29
6 minutes, 29 seconds
This is what else the province should consider or not consider. Should the province consider any of the following?
6:34
6 minutes, 34 seconds
Why or why not? developing new police authorities to direct individuals to cease intimidating or obstructing access to community or cultural infrastructure.
Chapter 4: Concerns over civil liberties
6:47
6 minutes, 47 seconds
So, you remember when they were selling off stolen Palestinian lands in a synagogue here in Ontario in Thorn Hill Vaughn community?
6:59
6 minutes, 59 seconds
Should we ban that? Should we maybe should we also ban I don’t know the
7:06
7 minutes, 6 seconds
deputy mayor of Jerusalem coming here to speak? Maybe we shouldn’t ban that anymore. Should we not allow people to
7:14
7 minutes, 14 seconds
obstruct Gerbles 2.0 you know, Mark Regv from coming and speaking at the Meridian Arts
7:21
7 minutes, 21 seconds
Center and then a CBC journalist saying, "Hey, I was just going to the synagogue, the Bait Meridian as it’s now known.
7:35
7 minutes, 35 seconds
Ontario wants to stop all that." Is it for you? Is it for me? No, it’s for Israel. Let’s keep going.
7:47
7 minutes, 47 seconds
instituting a new provincial offense for individuals that do not comply with this direction, creating a new requirement for individuals to provide identity. So
7:55
7 minutes, 55 seconds
again, we start with a new law and then we get new powers to enforce that law.
8:04
8 minutes, 4 seconds
That is what they’ve created under bill C119
8:11
8 minutes, 11 seconds
with respect under the opaces of safety has nothing to do with my safety.
8:22
8 minutes, 22 seconds
Making new arrest powers for police where there is a failure to comply with the duty to identify and it just keeps going on in this fashion.
8:35
8 minutes, 35 seconds
new enforcement rules, tools, resources to implement federal criminal code offenses and/or provincial prohibitions regarding intimidation or obstruction.
8:47
8 minutes, 47 seconds
So, who is going to identify what intimidation means in this respect?
8:53
8 minutes, 53 seconds
Perhaps I’m standing outside protesting a genocidal shill speaking inside a hall.
9:04
9 minutes, 4 seconds
And you, someone who loves that genocidal shill and wants to go listen to him speak, feels uncomfortable with having me be outside.
9:17
9 minutes, 17 seconds
That is what these laws mean.
Chapter 5: Call to action for public input

You just need to send a drone right into an apartment and you know exactly who is in there. women, children, it doesn’t matter.
17:48
