00:00:00.000 all right well it is the final episode of ratioed for 2024 and that means we are handing out the
00:00:14.000 ratio of the year prize as is tradition and i should mention that loyal viewers of the show
00:00:20.880 will notice that for the past few months we haven't been handing out a ratio of the week prize
00:00:25.360 let me know in the comments if you want to see us bring back that segment but i have to say it has
00:00:31.120 been an incredible year on ratioed we have had some great episodes we've interviewed some really
00:00:36.240 interesting people you know we've taken the show all over the world in february we are down in
00:00:41.200 washington dc for the cpac conference we went to romania at one point for the make europe great
00:00:48.080 again conference just recently we were down in el salvador for the patriots network conference we went
00:00:54.720 out to prince edward island beautiful pei to investigate what's going on with some of those
00:00:59.360 international students protesting and the most exotic location of all we took the show to brampton
00:01:06.720 quite a few times to figure out what the heck is going on in brampton i mean i'll tell you what
00:01:12.480 brampton is a city that is so exotic and foreign you would think you're in a completely different 1.00
00:01:17.920 country you'd think you're on the other side of the world all right but let's get right into it
00:01:21.120 because we've got quite a few ratios and quite a few people that need one more little bit of
00:01:25.680 humiliation before 2024 is up but before we do that as always be sure to drop a like on this video
00:01:32.080 help us out with subscribing to the true north youtube channel and the common question for the
00:01:36.000 episode is this what would you like to see from ratioed in 2025. let me know your answer in the
00:01:42.880 comments below and let's get into it i want to start with an honorary mention for arif varani canada's
00:01:48.640 attorney general who back in march tried to defend bill c63 the online harms act a piece of dystopian
00:01:56.400 legislation that could throw you in prison for daring to post the wrong opinion online he tried
00:02:02.080 to defend this bill by citing a toronto metropolitan university study which said that 8 in 10 canadians
00:02:10.000 want online platforms to give users tools to report illegal content like hate speech or violent content
00:02:16.960 this little graphic that he posted here got 2.1 000 replies to only 118 likes a a serious ratio and
00:02:27.280 one that got recognition back in march we got two more honorable mentions one is to liberal mp lisa hefner
00:02:35.520 believe that's how you pronounce her name who posted this very strange video about what is in budget 2024
00:02:43.280 what's in budget 2024 more infrastructure and less red tape so we can build more homes and build more
00:02:50.800 affordable homes a national school food program serious investments in youth mental health and
00:02:57.360 contraceptives covered by a national pharma care plan 1.6 000 replies to only 62 likes very bizarre stuff and uh
00:03:08.720 uh you know just worthy of mockery that's for sure the next is liberal mp terry beach who made this
00:03:18.400 extremely bizarre video to commemorate quote menstrual hygiene day do you remember this this bracelet uh
00:03:28.800 commemorates may 28th which is uh menstrual hygiene day now there are millions of women around the 1.00
00:03:36.480 world who are unable to reach their full potential simply because they menstruate and so this day is 1.00
00:03:44.160 about reducing the stigma as a father of two young girls i want to make sure that they along with
00:03:51.440 billions of girls and women around the world have an equal opportunity that everybody else has this one 0.96
00:03:56.800 here got 1.4 000 replies to only 88 likes and oh and he's wearing his period bracelet just to double
00:04:05.360 down on this bizarre video you know it's good to know that your local liberal member of parliament is
00:04:13.040 busy is hard at work and is uh you know advocating for the issues that really matter all right but now
00:04:18.480 we're here for what really matters and because we haven't really been doing a ratio of the week every
00:04:25.280 single week like we did last year the the rules of the game have slightly changed we're gonna pick the
00:04:32.400 ratios in the social media posts that i believe are worthy of end of year recognition and we're gonna
00:04:38.400 start with max fawcett the national observer columnist who got absolutely destroyed by incoming vice president
00:04:49.360 of the united states of all people jd vance this one was not too long ago but uh take a look at this
00:04:56.080 interaction here so jamil javani the mp for durham launched a website and a program called the protect
00:05:02.560 christians canada.com to raise awareness about anti-christian bigotry in canada after all you know
00:05:09.680 over a hundred churches have been burned down or vandalized in this country so no time like the
00:05:15.040 president to start talking about anti-christian bigotry in this country but max fawcett of the
00:05:20.400 national observer took issue with this and quote tweeted jamil saying so much of contemporary
00:05:26.080 conservatism revolves around cultivating and validating a sense of victimhood in groups that
00:05:31.120 aren't actually victims it's strange you know because i don't know if max or any other liberal would
00:05:36.800 say the same thing about muslims who would be concerned about the rise of islamophobia if over
00:05:45.200 a hundred mosques in two and a half years had been burned down or vandalized or or if jews were
00:05:52.080 concerned about anti-semitism if a hundred synagogues had been burned or vandalized in the same time
00:05:58.000 period liberals really do apparently take issue with christians who want to speak up and protect
00:06:03.440 christian interests not allowed apparently see the problem for max fawcett is that jd vance
00:06:08.960 is a friend of jamil giovanni so jd vance just decided to uh quote tweet max fawcett here
00:06:16.240 and uh let me just read out to you what he said and i'll read out to you the ratio here it is
00:06:21.360 quite stunning jd vance wrote canada has seen a number of church burnings in recent years thanks
00:06:26.880 to anti-christian bigotry all over the world christians are the most persecuted religious group
00:06:32.400 jamil is speaking the truth shame on journalists who refuse to see what's obvious jd vance here got
00:06:39.520 58 000 likes 58 000 likes and max fawcett was able to get about 4 000 likes so you know on a scale of
00:06:51.520 worst ratios of the year this i think is number one but we're gonna put it down in a number three i'm
00:06:58.160 placing mohammed fakie the founder of paramount fine foods and a recipient of the order of canada prize
00:07:04.640 believe it or not since october 7th mohammed fakie has been a very loud critic of not just israel but 0.83
00:07:12.080 of canada for canada's support of israel and some of you might recall that on remembrance day
00:07:19.040 there was a report that an ottawa school during the official remembrance day ceremony played a
00:07:25.200 palestinian protest song about october 7th during the ceremony in arabic so a foreign song played on
00:07:34.720 canadian remembrance day about palestinian resistance about palestinian martyrs and lisa mcleod an
00:07:42.160 outgoing conservative member of provincial parliament was the one who blew the whistle on the story took
00:07:48.720 issue with it mohammed fakie however decided to to get involved and to say let's be clear at mcleod lisa
00:07:57.040 has a problem with the children's song in arabic that is literally titled peace it's too bad that this
00:08:02.800 unhinged puppet loser is getting out of politics her defeat would have been a lot more fun 1.00
00:08:09.280 well mohammed fakie got 1.5 000 likes i responded to mohammed fakie and i said why is a foreign song
00:08:18.000 being played on remembrance day mohammed this is the one day of the year when all of canada honors 1.00
00:08:23.360 our fallen heroes this is not the day for you or others to protest your foreign cause have some
00:08:29.200 class and show respect for the people that sacrifice their lives for the country you now call home
00:08:35.040 i raised showed mohammed fakie i got 2 000 likes so because i was involved in that and i really dislike 0.88
00:08:41.120 mohammed fakie i i hate anyone who tries to justify playing a foreign song on remembrance day 0.98
00:08:47.120 i'm placing this ratio above max fawcett and jd vance you know yes so what he's the incoming vp of
00:08:55.200 of the united states my ratio is more important so and it's my show i don't care i'm putting it above
00:09:00.880 i'm putting it above max fawcett and jd vance in at number two we're going to recognize mary ing the 0.98
00:09:08.160 international trade minister in canada you see the problem for mary ing is that she was listed 0.94
00:09:17.120 by sam cooper's reporting as someone who was an unwitting participant in a foreign interference
00:09:23.760 operation you know really not something you want to be named in as a cabinet minister in canada but
00:09:30.480 that was the reporting that was what was reported regarding mary ing an independent mp kevin vong a
00:09:38.640 former liberal mp used his privilege as a a member of the house of commons to rise in the house and
00:09:46.240 ask mary ing to respond to these very serious allegations that she was an unwitting participant
00:09:53.200 in a ccp plot to undermine canadian democracy mary ing took to social media and wrote the following 0.90
00:10:00.480 it's unfortunate that mr vong recently gave sam cooper another platform to make insinuations
00:10:06.720 about me which i categorically reject anyway she goes on to write three more tweets in this thread
00:10:13.040 without actually refuting the claims made against her but it just didn't go over too well with the
00:10:18.640 canadian public 1.7 replies to only 667 likes for mary ing because she was named in that reporting
00:10:29.280 because she has not been able to refute these allegations i'm giving her the number two spot
00:10:35.840 on ratio of the year however before we go ahead and name the ratio of the year winner before we crown
00:10:41.840 the winner this year i want to mention that i am i am sometimes ratioed myself i am not impervious to
00:10:49.120 the ratio and that happened a couple weeks ago actually when i said that i agreed with doug ford's
00:10:56.800 decision to play hardball with the united states to show some strength to threaten retaliatory measures
00:11:03.520 against the united states in response to donald trump's threat of a 25 percent tariff i wrote fully
00:11:09.680 support doug ford here in threatening retaliatory measures against possible u.s tariffs i got ratioed
00:11:16.880 1.2 000 replies to only 851 likes you know what sometimes you got to admit when you get ratioed and
00:11:27.520 as the host of the ratio i feel i had to do it on this show so there you go i will admit it sometimes
00:11:33.840 i do get ratioed although not nearly as often as our winner who is this year mark miller the
00:11:40.240 immigration minister it couldn't go to anyone else of course mark miller has had a shocker of a year
00:11:46.560 not just on social media but as a minister of immigration of course he's opened up our borders
00:11:51.360 he's flooded our country with immigrants with international students with temporary foreign workers 0.99
00:11:57.760 only to have to turn around and shut the whole system down and admit failure which he has done
00:12:03.840 he's now trying to paint himself as some anti-immigration guy as well we got three ratios from
00:12:08.480 mark that are worthy of mention like this one we wrote back to pierre pauliev the histrionics with
00:12:14.240 this guy are next level and some bizarre unhinged stuff about the pm putting himself as a boy into the
00:12:20.160 passport is just odd to be polite the prime minister can't even take his kid to a concert without pierre
00:12:26.400 having a hissy fit meltdown unserious 2.1000 replies to only 1.3000 likes pauliev is the only guy allowed
00:12:36.400 to flap his yap pauliev's office maintains tight control over what conservative mps say and do 1.1000
00:12:45.120 replies to only 533 likes as if as if that's totally different than what justin trudeau does here's a
00:12:52.320 good one from mark miller canadians still overwhelming support immigration i'm guessing
00:12:57.840 he meant to say overwhelmingly support immigration that was in october and at no point this year did
00:13:03.600 canadians overwhelmingly support immigration 1.3000 replies to only 386 likes mark miller is your 2024
00:13:13.600 ratio of the year winner christie freeland took home the prize last year and omar al gabra remember that
00:13:20.240 name he took home the prize in 2022 both omar and christia freeland are out of the political picture
00:13:26.320 in canada but mark miller he's still in the game he's still there at least for now but folks that's
00:13:31.680 going to do it for us on the show today thank you so much for tuning in all year for the last time in
00:13:38.320 2024 my name is harrison faulkner and this is ratio
00:13:54.640 you
