Under Justin Trudeau, Canada has sought to position itself as the global bastion of progressive politics. In my latest Telegraph documentary, seen above, I went to the former British colony to find out how Canadians are dealing with Trudeau’s radical reforms; from the promotion of gender ideology in schools and the mass legalisation of drugs, to his extreme new suicide laws and clamp downs on freedom of speech.
I began my investigation in one of the country’s most liberal cities, Vancouver. Possession of up to 2.5 grams of hard drugs, including heroin, cocaine and fentanyl, has been legalised in the city as part of a three year experiment which began in January of this year. If the aim was to combat the opioid crisis that already beset the city then it appears there is still much to be done as vast tent sites line the streets, patrolled by roaming zombie-like drug addicts.
As we filmed on Hastings Street, infamous as the epicentre of Vancouver’s homelessness crisis, I witnessed a topless man shoot a needle into his arm five feet from me. Though it wasn’t quite as bad as San Francisco, where my cameraman and I came under attack from angry vagrants, the scenes were still shocking.
It’s not just the homeless who patrol the streets of Vancouver. Chris Elston, better known online as Billboard Chris, campaigns against the imposition of gender ideology on children, whether through Canada’s education system or via dangerous operations to “transition” young adults. As his nickname suggests, Chris walks around Vancouver wearing signs protesting gender ideology, encouraging lively debates with passers-by which he puts on YouTube.
Chris kindly allowed our crew to join him on a walkabout, where we found many Canadians horrified by the use of puberty blockers in children and the promotion of biological men in women’s sports.
We did encounter some opposition of course, mostly through the odd shout or flicking of the finger. So much for Canadian politeness.
One aggressive gentleman, tall, ageing and angry, began a tirade against Chris with the rather bizarre singular message that he is “queer”.
Part of Canada’s social revolution can also be witnessed in its extreme new euthanasia laws. In 2016, the ruling Liberal Party passed legislation enabling assisted suicide for terminally ill Canadians. Next year the legislation will be expanded to include those with mental health problems. As Christianity declines across Canada, and the liberal obsession with “bodily autonomy” and “personal freedom” reaches its logical conclusion, a new dystopia is forming. As Dr Konia Trouton, a euthanasia advocate, told me, “we are an organised society but within that organisation we have to allow some freedoms and opportunities, this is not a communist system where we can try and reign that in”. The campaign group Euthanasia Prevention Coalition estimates that 13,500 people chose state-assisted suicide last year.
To prevent wokeism from spreading it is important to have a strong opposition party. Canada’s Conservatives have been historically weak in pushing back against Trudeau, however, their recently elected leader, Pierre Poilievre, has injected fresh energy into the party. Whilst there are some who still question Poillievre’s conservative credentials, his strategy seems to be working; one recent poll gave his party a twelve point lead over Trudeau’s Liberals.
However, the most successful opponents to Canada’s social revolution have so far not been politicians but members of the public. Our film highlights some of these brave individuals, including Dr Jordan Peterson, perhaps the most high-profile Canadian in the world other than the country’s leader.
During my travels I found ordinary people appalled at Canada’s surrender to drug dealers, its contempt for freedom of speech, its enforcement of gender ideology on children and a breezy willingness to terminate the lives of its own citizens. However, for all the depressing stories of people losing their jobs, or being hounded by the government, these cases were equally inspirational. Whilst Canada is a warning to the West, there are also individual messages of hope from those brave individuals fighting for their freedom.

This is the country that likes to lecture India on human rights! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sickening…
We're dangerously moving towards Maxism. Being born and raised in a brutal regime in Eastern Europe I can clearly see that.
Wow. They're using the euthanasia law to push people into it, rather tan using it as a last resort when experiencing terminal illness…. in practicality, they're now offering it as the solution for those that were never considering it and want to live.
Absolutely tragic.
The world needs to learn by the multiple lessons here.
This should be completely initiated by the individual, not by the medical or social support community
God bless Madame Gauthier. What an absolutely wretched, wicked thing to suggest to anyone. THIS is one of the reasons why government owned and managed health care.
And the woman who followed her in the interview was purely evil. Her entire career and life's work is to subvert life in any way. She did as much damage as she could with the extremely vulnerable unborn, and has now widened her scope to extend to all lonely, broken, sad and ill.
Feminism and the woke will destroy the west. We are a civilisation in decline.
Wow I never realised the Telegraph was such a source of other rubbish… taking things out of context to make an argument and pretending to be journalism
Wow, someone is trying hard to destroy the US and Canada, wonder who ! hmmmm
My health is a sandstorm from which my gp has chosen to pick out one grain of sand to analyze. I mentally fight for my life every day— on my own, and I begin to wonder how far down this road, how many individual grains of sand are to be extracted and analyzed for 4-5 months at a time, before I am asked whether I wouldn’t rather just die.
Kings have rebel against the lord but his anger shall soon poured out like hot melting iron war is coming and u will soon find the door close.
The only people who believe this crap are insecure fascists.
The problem with canada is Trudeau and the liberals, thats it. This country has been ran off the rails because of them filling their own pockets and fcking canadians
I don't think I've met one member of the ethnic minority of Canada that supports the woke policy of the Canadian Government. Whether they are Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Africans, Koreans or Arabs.
Economy is hard, but I love being here in Sudbury Ontario, we came from Bogotá Colombia. Dont create panic, Canada is good place to live. Canada needs to accelerate or make grow with more efficency some services like housing. Maybe farm lands for people, like in 19 century in Manitoba,
Should have seen Hastings at night 😂😂
Piss up rope fascists
12:14 false. a bunch of us hate it and no one ever asked us if we wanted to destroy our own culture by importing every other culture
Canada has also started to freshly instigate the Frankenstein Monster of Khalistan against India. Believe me dear Canadians, this monster will only feed on your resources, enjoy a luxurious hospitality and then turn into a suicidal live explosive for your country. BEWARE, and nip it in the bud🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Vancouver and Melbourne, Australia are so similar. Similar political parties in control. They opened an injection room for addicts next to a preschool here at one point. These people are mentally zapped. They're nuts and have no place running anything.
Living in Van can be a nightmare, yes
Incredible viewing figures!!
What the heck. The section saying people arent following stereotypes so they will be made transgender is just plain wrong lol
What a biased video. Such BS of course as usual from the right wing nut jobs.
23.55 Many converted and a majority identify as Christian, so that leftist take is completely wrong. It was a mostly Christian nation up until recently. In fact, First Nations are more Christian than Euro-Canadians now.
this is the laziest conservative lie I've ever come across. a shameless stitch up. trash content for a trash audience.
Show them the light, with torches
*yawn
There’s a lot here to be concerned with and much that is a little more nuanced, but in terms of what constitutes ‘good’ journalism, where is the balanced overview, the other positions or the objectivity? A pretty poor documentary about some really important issues…
Hmmm… Canada, Australia and New Zealand have one very specific thing in common. All Crown Monarchies!!! Where citizens are noted in their country's Constitution as SUBJECTS!!! Coincidence? I think not!!! The government in these countries think they are ROYALTY! And we are simply dung under their feet.
If Indians dont like it they can go back to the wonderful culture they seem to insist on bringing to white countries.
❤
help us. fires everywhere, our crops are 50%. Vancouver's dyeing. what those drugs are legal now? wow
As a German Afghanistan Veteran, hearing they telling another Veteran that she has the right to Die, makes me outraged. This is criminal!!
Calling abortion, womens rights is one thing. Calling it social justice is a whole new level of insanity…
Telling it like it is
Criminals in power dictatorship and enslavement of the peoples.
Canada 🇨🇦 is being attacked and destroyed by criminals called politicians.
Trudeau is a vapid POS , a loser and a liar who's ego is unhinged to the point he will go down in history as the worst political figure in modern politics .
"Agreeable people are cannon fodder for psychopath's"… exactly.
29:48 Offf.. That sounds an awfully lot like another "event" in history that has actually been criminalized in a number of countries…
The canadian population can be likened with a mentaly and physicaly abused husband.
Pushed/ abused to hard and things can turn physical and violent very fast. Dangerous game
The case of Christine is so heartbreaking!! Also, this is so wrong how the government official responded to her.
The Genocide is so debunked a thing can be. Totally made up by Evil people. Canada is lost, u are evil and GOD will punish u for all eternity.
i thought its some absolute shithole the first 1 minute i had this video randomly playing in bed i was suprised this about canada thats horrible
this dude talking about residential schools is ignorant as all hell LMFAO
Movies, animation film, ost, songs lyrics writer Kara? Tara keno end of June Hollywood a protests korse? Designer, author Jara Tara terrorist, criminals. Sheikh hasina, Biden, modi, raw, few cia.
👎
No body in this documentary arguing in favour of any of these policies. It would be nice to here both sides.
No one that calls anything "woke" should ever be listened to.
