Juno News - 2023 Ratio of the Year Award Show

00:00:00.000 welcome everyone to the final episode of ratioed for the year the ratio of the year award show

00:00:12.640 it's been quite a year we've had some good episodes some bad episodes some that have done

00:00:16.740 very well others not so much it's just the nature of the business but this episode is all about

00:00:22.400 handing out some year-end awards as you know at the end of every thursday show we hand out the

00:00:27.900 ratio of the week award and we've tried to broaden it out a little bit we don't always want to focus

00:00:33.080 on politicians although they make our lives pretty easy and always serve up some pretty brutal ratios

00:00:38.060 for us we've tried to include some other groups some sports teams some unions some news outlets

00:00:44.220 they've all gotten on the mix and they've all gotten some recognition for some pretty terrible

00:00:48.440 tweets or x's or posts whatever we call them now but it's been quite the year we've taken the show

00:00:54.420 to some interesting places we've been out on the street interviewing people at young and dundas

00:00:58.400 square interviewing pro-hamas protesters i also managed that one episode to get my hands on some

00:01:04.360 city of toronto provided crack pipes crystal meth kits and needles that was quite the interesting

00:01:10.520 episode although i'm still getting made fun of for that one to this day we've also added some

00:01:14.600 interview segments to the show as well trying to make the show slightly more journalistic but before

00:01:19.000 we get into the ratio of the year finalists along with some special mentions be sure to drop a like

00:01:23.140 in this video help us out by subscribing to the true north youtube channel and the comment question

00:01:26.620 for the episode is this what would you like to see from ratioed in 2024 would you like us to do more

00:01:32.780 interviews would you like us to do more on the street type videos or would you just like to see

00:01:36.860 us keep on doing what we're doing let me know in the comments and let's get into it so as you'll all

00:01:41.340 recall at the end of last year we crowned omar al gabra as the first king of the ratio he took home the

00:01:47.640 ratio of the year prize there was a string of ratio of the week prizes that he took home in 2022

00:01:52.660 but with 2023 we've had the benefit of the entire 12 months so we've given the award to quite a few

00:01:59.000 people including news outlets journalists unions sports teams and of course our fair share of liberal

00:02:06.240 cabinet ministers jagmeet singh has always gotten on the action but we wanted to spice it up and not

00:02:10.860 give him the award every single week the same goes for our prime minister who also has a knack of getting

00:02:15.720 ratioed so the way we did it last year was we had a podium finish we had a third place winner we had a

00:02:21.400 second place winner and of course we had omar al gabra take home the crown christia freeland finished 0.98

00:02:26.120 third place last year and jagmeet singh finished second to omar al gabra but i noticed last year

00:02:32.140 we didn't have an honorable mention so what i'm going to do is take you back to the summer and remind

00:02:36.500 you of what happened to toronto blue jays pitcher or former toronto blue jays pitcher anthony bass

00:02:42.380 after target the giant u.s retailer began selling quote tuck friendly women's swimsuits for transgenders

00:02:50.360 and were selling pro-transgender children's clothing well americans began boycotting target

00:02:57.880 the same went for bud light when they signed a brand deal with dylan mulvaney it didn't go too

00:03:03.080 well for either brands these boycotts were quite successful anthony bass on his instagram shared a

00:03:09.580 christian influencer reading the bible quoting scripture as a reason for christians to boycott

00:03:16.740 target anthony bass didn't opine on the video he didn't offer his own commentary he simply just

00:03:23.100 shared the instagram post as an instagram story which of course goes away after 24 hours but for

00:03:29.240 the people who can only really be described as maoists who work at rogers the people that own the

00:03:34.020 toronto blue jays what anthony bass did called for public humiliation first of course every single

00:03:41.300 legacy media news outlet wrote hate articles about anthony bass saying that he was sharing lgbtq or

00:03:47.940 anti-lgbtq propaganda all because he shared a christian influencers video post what ended up happening

00:03:55.300 was even more ridiculous they wheeled anthony bass out for a pre-game press conference to apologize in

00:04:02.500 front of the media this ended up taking the form of some very strange maoist style struggle session

00:04:07.860 which ended up looking like some sort of uh hostage confession video anthony bass in an act

00:04:13.300 of public humiliation had to apologize for daring to share an awful anti-lgbtq propaganda video so

00:04:20.660 that's exactly what he did he apologized for doing nothing wrong was forced to apologize in front of

00:04:25.140 the media what did the toronto blue jays do immediately after that well first they said that

00:04:30.020 he was going to throw the first pitch out at the pride weekend toronto blue jays game where he would

00:04:35.380 throw a pitch to a drag queen and then what they did instead actually was that they canceled that

00:04:40.740 and then just fired him from the team they just blacklisted him from the toronto blue jays and

00:04:45.540 we're supposed to assume that it had nothing to do with sharing that post the reason the toronto

00:04:50.180 blue jays are getting an audible mention here and the reason i'm spending so much time on this

00:04:54.100 is because the ratio that the toronto blue jays received for posting this hostage style confession

00:04:59.780 video out of anthony bass was outrageous one of the biggest we've ever seen on the program

00:05:04.500 over 13 000 replies to only three and a half thousand likes 13 000 replies i mean this is

00:05:12.740 astonishing over 24 million views on this video my hope is that the toronto blue jays never live this

00:05:19.860 one down rogers should never live this performance down it's utterly shameful what they did to anthony

00:05:25.060 bass all right now we're going to move on to the finalists here in third place is qp ontario and

00:05:31.780 their leader fred hahn we're going to give it to both of them why not both the union and fred

00:05:35.620 hahn took home multiple ratio of the week prices this year for just a series of horrendous tweets

00:05:41.060 we're going to go through a few of those now and remind you about what they were really on about

00:05:44.500 over this year you guys all remember the one million march for children back in what was it

00:05:50.020 september when parents of all different races and all different ethnicities protested against

00:05:55.780 radical gender ideology soji in classes this took place across the country and the unions absolutely

00:06:03.060 hated it it was a direct attack on the unions that's what they would make you believe when in

00:06:07.860 reality it was his parents peacefully protesting on behalf of their children but qp ontario wrote this

00:06:14.420 long angry tweet about how the ultra conservative right has organized nationwide events under the

00:06:20.020 pretext of protecting children while their true aim is to protest the teaching of 2s lgbtqia plus

00:06:27.060 content in schools we stand as a united front strong and unwavering in our commitment to a society built

00:06:33.140 on love understanding and acceptance their tweet finished i mean take a look at this one here 7.1

00:06:39.460 thousand replies to 4.3 thousand likes remember this is like the teachers union protesting against parents

00:06:47.380 who are peacefully protesting for their kids to not be indoctrinated with radical gender ideology oh and

00:06:53.060 by the way the ultra conservative right that organized that protest as you'll recall were basically

00:06:57.780 elderly muslim parents very ultra conservative very dangerous now fred hahn also gets some mention to

00:07:04.820 come in third place he is after all the qp ontario union boss you recall one of the qp local unions

00:07:12.820 made this tweet about how the october 7th attack on israel was some great act of resistance fred hahn

00:07:19.940 liked that tweet because of course what that that's just pretty much on brand for this guy

00:07:24.820 he had to follow that up because he was receiving quite a lot of backlash rightly so for doing that

00:07:29.460 and he wrote this tweet for anyone to imagine that i would ever endorse violence is horrific to me

00:07:34.420 it speaks volumes about the times we're in i've spent my adult life fighting for justice for workers

00:07:39.380 building power and solidarity for working people to resist to win better this one was pretty tough

00:07:44.900 for fred hahn 2.3 thousand replies to only 780 likes all right we're now moving into second place

00:07:52.980 here the second place finisher this year is liberal cabinet minister one of justin trudeau's most loyal

00:07:58.980 cabinet ministers also one of his groomsmen at his wedding seamus o'regan seamus took home quite a few

00:08:05.700 ratio of the week awards he also managed to take home the last ratio of the week prize of the year

00:08:11.460 we'll start with his most recent ratio of the week for seamus here remember a few weeks ago he took to

00:08:17.940 the empire club of canada stage to remind canadians that actually we're not over covid and the problems

00:08:24.500 that we're seeing in our country are due to the pandemic it's probably a good way of running away

00:08:28.420 from facing any accountability for the problems that the government has brought upon canadians you know

00:08:33.940 the government that's been in charge for over eight years remember he wrote this we will not be able

00:08:38.580 to tackle any of the massive challenges that confront us as a country until we face one simple fact we are

00:08:44.900 not over covid 3.1 000 replies to 676 likes on that one that's only from a few weeks ago seamus he says in

00:08:53.780 the video we can't just move on we can't just move on from covid we have to remember that we're still

00:08:59.780 battling the pandemic and we're still we're still facing the problems caused by the pandemic but

00:09:04.980 check out this seamus or you can tweet all the way back in july when we gave him the award for saying

00:09:09.300 this about how pierre pauliev is just riling people up he's dividing canadians not of course like your

00:09:16.180 boss justin trudeau seamus i don't like making people more anxious than they need to be i don't

00:09:20.900 like riling people up i don't like dividing canadians it sounds like seamus is just asking pierre pauliev and

00:09:26.180 the conservatives to go easy on the liberals stop pointing out all their failures stop pointing out

00:09:30.180 all the mess that they've made 1.1 000 replies to 870 likes for seamus on this ridiculous statement

00:09:37.380 he's done this a few times we could have given him the award multiple times this year for tweets

00:09:41.140 just like this one seemingly forgetting that his own boss is the most divisive politician in the

00:09:45.940 country but here we go folks the number one spot the winner of the ratio of the year for 2023

00:09:52.020 it was tightly contested seamus got his nose in there with a few awards fred hahn qp jagmeet singh

00:09:58.100 always but the winner this year is none other than christia freeland ladies and gentlemen the king

00:10:05.220 has been replaced by the queen of the ratio here we go we've got two for you here that are really

00:10:10.980 something just total blindness to the reality canadians are facing completely ridiculous stuff

00:10:16.980 here we'll start with this one this is a few weeks old christia freeland telling canadians that actually 0.93

00:10:24.500 trudeau's plan to bring down inflation is working can't you all feel it at the grocery store christmas

00:10:29.780 shopping yeah yeah christia freeland wants to tell you that her plan to bring down inflation is working

00:10:35.300 remember this tweet with the graph showing canada's inflation the lowest in the g7 saying that canada's

00:10:41.060 inflation was the lowest in two years within the 1.3 target and the lowest in the g7 didn't seem to

00:10:47.540 land with canadians though christia 4.9 000 replies almost 5 000 comments to 2.2 000 likes but this one

00:10:57.700 is my favorite tweet of the year from freeland absolutely worthy of of winning the ratio of the

00:11:02.500 year prize especially coming from the woman who took pride in freezing your bank accounts last year 0.99

00:11:08.100 freeland wrote this whether it is ensuring canadians have access to affordable banking options

00:11:13.140 and are not subjected to unfair fees or making sure they receive the mortgage and relief they need in

00:11:17.700 times of distress we will continue working to ensure canadians are treated fairly by their banks

00:11:22.820 we are making sure canadians are treated fairly by their bank by protecting canadians at a time of

00:11:27.540 rising mortgage rates taking action to make low and no cost bank accounts cracking down on junk fees

00:11:33.460 and designating a single independent external complaints body for canadians who feel they have

00:11:38.180 been treated unfairly by a bank wouldn't it have been nice if that external independent complaints

00:11:44.020 body was in place when you froze the bank accounts of canadians freeland wouldn't that have been nice

00:11:49.620 too bad for canadians they didn't get that 1.7 000 replies to 427 likes that number has obviously grown

00:11:57.300 since we recorded the show but again just just to write a tweet like that after giggling and smiling

00:12:03.620 at freezing your bank account at regulating cryptocurrency under the terrorist financing

00:12:08.820 act don't forget that was just back in 2022 so there you have it move over omar there is a new

00:12:15.540 queen of the race show and her name is christia freeland well deserved of course well that's gonna do it 0.96
