A Maple Ridge school trustee candidate is answering questions about a video being shared online that shows him addressing a crowd in Vancouver during a 91Ƶfreedom91Ƶ rally last year.

The video dated 6 p.m. May 15, 2021, is posted to Twitter and shows candidate Brian Dominick on the stairs of the Vancouver Art Gallery with a World Freedom Rally sign behind him.

91ƵBut mostly I91Ƶm choosing this path for my children and their future so I can look them in the eye and tell them that their father stood up for their rights and freedoms to keep them safe,91Ƶ he says to shouts of 91ƵYeah91Ƶ and cheering.

91ƵHold on,91Ƶ he tells the crowd. 91ƵNot plan-demic safe. I mean protect their little developing minds and bodies safe. What parents should be doing right now and what we need to help them see. My mission to educate and enact change in the world will not stop until the children are safe, governments are held accountable, and companies stop lying to us. Polluting our oceans, lands, and human bodies in Canada and around the world.

91ƵThis is not a Canadian problem folks. This is a global, elitist parasite problem, and they are the ones that need to be exterminated,91Ƶ he said to claps and cheers.

When reached by phone at his Maple Ridge ebike and scooter store, Dominick did not deny that he is the one in the video making the comments.

His complaint was that the video is being shared by what he says is a conspiracy site, not an accredited media outlet.

The video is posted to Twitter 91Ƶ where anyone from the public can view it 91Ƶ by an independent Twitter user who does not appear to be linked to an organization or group. Dominick also refused to explain what he meant by his comments during the 59 second clip.

91ƵI91Ƶm running for school trustee. So, as I mentioned, I am not looking to be giving this energy at all. This goes against what we91Ƶre working towards and I91Ƶm not interested in addressing an kind of intentional slander or defamation that really has no merit,91Ƶ he said.

He added that it91Ƶs important that 91Ƶwe exercise discernment in these times of the information age.91Ƶ

91ƵThis information is being shared where it91Ƶs got no, there91Ƶs no citations or references, or who posted it or who took it. There is just absolutely no credibility to this site,91Ƶ he said, calling it misinformation.

91ƵThat91Ƶs really what we are talking about here is the spreading of misinformation that is intended to cause harm. I am not interested in entertaining that,91Ƶ he said.

When asked if he believed the video to be fake or if it is not actually him in the video he again responded, 91ƵI91Ƶm not entertaining the idea of giving anything from an unaccredited site time or energy91Ƶ.

In the public Facebook group SD42 Board Watch Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge BC, Dominick has been facing more questions about the video.

Group administrator Elizabeth Taylor asked him how would he and the 28 other anti-mandate candidates think they are going to be able to alter the school curriculum?

To which Dominick replies, 91ƵElizabeth, I am not anti-anything besides maybe slander, hate speech and labels and do not appreciate the discriminatory label. Isn91Ƶt that what we are trying to remedy?91Ƶ

Then moderator Loraine Anchor asks him how can he reconcile this comment with what he said at the rally.

91ƵEliminating people you think are elitists, etc. fits the description of hate speech,91Ƶ she told him.

Dominick again replies, 91ƵI will not be giving this issue anymore energy online as I feel it is taking away from the real debate and conversation around real issues. This information was also spread by an unknown conspiracy site, was it not? I think its time we all take accountability for the information we share and use discernment to know the difference.91Ƶ

The conversation ends with Anchor saying, 91ƵBrian Dominick, it91Ƶs you speaking. You can91Ƶt deny that. People should be aware of who they91Ƶre voting for.91Ƶ

Another member of the group, David Akerflug, posted the video saying it is beyond disturbing.

91ƵIt91Ƶs preying on people91Ƶs fears in an effort to induce hatred. And extremely anti-Semitic. As a parent in your district of Jewish children I91Ƶll do whatever I can to make sure you have no say in my childrens91Ƶ education,91Ƶ Akerflug said.

A Fraser Valley Freedom Convoy, a 91ƵConvoy to Support Brian Dominick for School Trustee91Ƶ, will be taking place the afternoon of Friday, Sept. 30, and will be making its way from Langley, through west Maple Ridge, into Pitt Meadows and then into Coquitlam. It is being organized by the groups Union of the People and the Canadian Freedom Coalition 91Ƶ groups that oppose vaccine mandates.

ALSO:

The Canadian Freedom Coalition91Ƶs local social media page contains information about fighting COVID-19 vaccine mandates, with videos showing vaccine protests in Maple Ridge and the Lower Mainland, an ad for a presentation about natural immunity and vaccination, and more.

Union of the People91Ƶs online content includes information that claims the Pfizer vaccine is more likely to threaten a person91Ƶs life rather than save it and asks whether Pfizer hid documents about the vaccine.

Health Canada maintains vaccines and boosters are safe and effective at helping to prevent serious illness, hospitalization and death due to COVID-19.

The group Action4Canada, calls itself a grassroots movement in opposition to the 91Ƶdestructive policies tearing at the fabric of this nation,91Ƶ with members committed to protecting faith, family, and freedom, is promoting the event.

This is the same group behind . The group also held , where they handed out information sheets about the HPV vaccine to parents dropping their children off for class.

Andrew Dodge, Ridge Meadows chapter leader for Action4Canada, signed Dominick91Ƶs nomination papers.
