A thought-provoking discussion in downtown Vancouver, organized by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute: in this exclusive event, Douglas Murray, esteemed author and journalist, engaged in a captivating armchair conversation with Brian Lee Crowley, MLI Managing Director, on the theme of the defence of Western civilization

I'm thrilled to see one of the contemporary world's greatest public intellectuals speaking in Canada!!! No country needs to hear his frank, unapologetic defense of Western Civilization more than Canada, as this country has been so immersed in "progressive" dogma and indoctrination since roughly 2015. Vancouverites are very fortunate to have been exposed to Douglas's insight, honesty, and wisdom. Hopefully, audiences in Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal will also have an opportunity to learn from exposure to his ideas, as the residents of these woke-infested metropolises desperately need to hear his clear-thinking message.
More people need to listen to Douglas Murray. You don’t need to agree with everything he says, but you can learn a lot from him.
Brilliant, thank you to the MLI in bringing Douglas Murray to Canada and sharing this YouTube video.
Douglas is wonderful – but after 20:00 he knows/senses he’s on weak ground around western medicine, because he hesitates. Western medicine, and especially its gatekeepers and the socio-political mesh which bodies it forth, have become much more contested and complex since covid. And he knows – or ought to know – that sophisticated herbal medicine systems can treat illnesses, including cancer, very effectively.
1:00:17 is the west ashamed because Israel has shown them time & again, what it means to stand your ground
Western culture have been kidnap by exstrim evil left komesars like in ussr and others communist regime!
41:00 “Show me what you accuse the Jews of, I’ll show you what you’re guilty of” – I accuse the Jews of being exceptionally insightful physicists who have made pivotal contributions to the development of much of modern science! …. What happens now? …. I still seem to be really mediocre …. Do I just wait a bit? Or will there be a flash of lightening? 🤪
And why are some attacking the laws of physics? Could it be because of the destructive work of radical atheists like Richard Dawkins? Newton knew he would find laws in nature because there is a lawgiver who created the physical universe (Genesis 1:1). We have an entire generation who does not believe in a lawgiver and therefore attack the laws of nature.
Being an Israeli Douglas Murray is a light shining in the darkness of ignorance and hate against my country. I’ll be forever grateful 🙏❤
How good is Douglas Murray at communicating the human and emotional aspects of violent action that created this reaction, especially the factor of glee?
"After Justin Trudeau has managed to stop hate, what will he do next? Would he like to do gluttony?" too funny
Welcome! this has happened to the Spanish civilization since the 1500s….. shame and blame.
Always such a pleasure to listen to the wise intellect of Douglas Murray! There is either free speech or not. These ideas to me are pure evil! If you speak freely you always risk the chance of somebody being offended!. These people just shout so much louder, over polite people. Best up bringing , our parents always told us, Sticks and Stones, may break our bones, but names, will never harm you. So many people are so uneducated. They know nothing of history. Do not seem to have travelled much. For Millennia we have swum in the waters of Christianity. That is where we get our values from. Our fathers fought in the last war, for our freedoms, and freedom of speech. You have to stand up for these principles!
Great Stuff! Enjoyed the discussion immensely!
Thanks.

21:25 in 1978 a friend was diagnosed with a particular cancer which was treated with a concoction know to the healers of tribes located around Orillia. This was an experimental regime being administered to patients either deemed untreatable by other means or those who refused surgery as my friend had. The program was being run by a Doctor by the name of Casey (not sure the spelling but the substance was called a reverse of his name something like Iseac…?) long story short was that this person was cured and was on a number of occations asked to speak at medical seminars as a testimonial….
For me, a person of mixed Hispanic and aborigin heritage, the values of the west ocuppy a predominant place in my personal mindset. It's not "colonialism" or "white imperialist imposition" as many people on the side of left ideology tend to think. I STAND with the values of the west because those values made possible the technological advances we enjoy today, the democracy, the freedom of speech (which is now in peril, specially in Canada), indivual liberty, all of them are values derived from the classical liberalism, the English and American enlightening, etc we have to defend those values from the madness of wokism, sordid hardcore socialism and self destructive hate of western civilization. Those values do matter and represent the best of humankind, not because they are of a "western origin" but because those values defend and uphold the freedom of the individual. That is precisely why they were so successful. Western Individualism gave us the gift of society, because without the concept of the individual, we will never have a free society,. The alternative is colectivism, a green, woke dictatorship and tyranny of the mobs.
