00:00:00.000 We're seeing this pattern happen across the country.
00:00:02.880 People illegally dumping in our green spaces, our rivers, our lakes,
00:00:06.860 on the side of the highway, their mattresses, their old furniture, their garbage.
00:00:10.940 It is totally unacceptable.
00:00:12.440 I believe that we are all Canadian first, number one.
00:00:15.260 But number two, that we should hold those communities that we also represent,
00:00:19.600 whether it's Muslim in my case, or any Iraqi Afghani, to a higher standard in bar.
00:00:24.540 And I should be the first one that calls them out on their hands. 1.00
00:00:30.000 we have a garbage dumping crisis in canada we are seeing it all over the news and more egregiously
00:00:38.040 even when they're confronted they don't care and continue to do it they don't learn somebody in
00:00:43.960 abbotsford bc has been taking their garbage trash piles of it through all of it and throwing it
00:00:48.880 straight into our river our rivers our water that run right through into this community she got
00:00:53.900 caught down by the water confronted by people who happen to be standing there and instead of owning
00:00:58.080 it she took off and ran and then she did it again right by blue jay elementary school at a creek

00:01:32.160 confront her why are you throwing your garbage in the water in the middle of daylight have you
00:01:39.840 no shame you do realize how inappropriate that is to throw trash in the water like that
00:01:45.500 but you have been because we just watched you do it from across the lake you dumped the entire
00:01:51.660 dollar store bag over the bridge i watched you do it we have proof there's proof you know how
00:01:57.340 inappropriate there's wildlife in this water what delete the camera there's literally wildlife in
00:02:03.740 this water and you're dumping trash own up to it at least clean it own up to it in this water
00:02:16.300 and you're there's wildlife in this water and you're throwing trash in it here's the evidence
00:02:22.540 all the trash in the water you can see here this is going to break your heart all the ducks that
00:02:27.020 now have to go through all of the garbage that we are dumping in our own water this is crazy
00:02:32.140 okay people are literally in the middle of the day i i can't imagine there are multiple trash cans
00:02:38.220 in this park okay in abbotsford bc she took herself out to go to this park to walk past
00:02:44.620 them all to take her bag and dump all the trash in the water i made this story and went viral
00:02:51.900 then to my shock and disbelief somebody sends me a message on instagram they say sondran i can't
00:02:58.940 believe what i'm about to send you i caught the same woman doing it again by a school
00:03:05.500 no i'm not kidding watch this the same shameful woman caught dumping again at a school
00:03:11.900 can you imagine okay you do something so egregious so messed up okay and you get
00:03:41.500 caught and confronted you would imagine and think okay that you might learn your lesson that you
00:03:47.560 might not do this but she goes again by Blue Jay Elementary School in Abbotsford BC to a bridge
00:03:54.160 and takes her garbage and dumps it again but it gets even worse can you I can't even believe it
00:04:00.300 honestly I can't believe it it gets worse I had no idea what was under the bridge then a community
00:04:07.360 of women okay in that area said we have to go find out what happened they went out to put posters of
00:04:13.980 this woman and by the way i want the team that's making this video put up her face on this video
00:04:18.840 so make it very clear if if fines are clearly not enough if the common understanding of civic sense
00:04:25.200 is not enough then we need to publicly shame these people into submission to do what like this is not
00:04:30.420 about assimilation by the way i don't want to hear about assimilation this is common sense this is
00:04:35.400 your home this is your backyard this is where children go to but look what they found under 0.60

00:04:51.980 look the community is standing up this is unacceptable look at all this trash 0.95
00:05:01.220 this is uh you know i spent a lot of time thinking about how do i even process such a thing happening
00:05:07.860 how do i even try to put myself in the shoes of this person illegally dumping and by the way it's
00:05:13.400 not just this person this is one example of like you got caught and you continue to do it but we're

00:06:06.280 all my social media platforms life with sondra and they are soon to identify who this person is
00:06:11.960 this is breaking news the abbotsford police have identified the woman that was responsible for
00:06:16.200 littering in our green spaces dumping her trash in the river and then in a creek beside the school
00:06:21.240 the blue jay elementary in abbotsford bc here's their full statement they have issued her
00:06:26.040 two five hundred dollar fines to me this is not sufficient i was calling for the maximum penalty
00:06:32.760 of five thousand dollars for each incident plus community service they say in this memo that
00:06:37.880 there's a lot of other circumstances that led to this that resulted in them determining that this
00:06:42.280 was the appropriate fine we have to as a country make it clear to everybody that this is unacceptable
00:06:50.040 We should have zero tolerance for this.
00:06:52.360 We have zero tolerance when you go to a service Canada
00:06:54.880 that says if you raise your voice,
00:06:56.460 we have zero tolerance for that, okay?
00:06:58.480 This is a million times worse.
00:07:01.040 We cannot leave our country
00:07:02.940 to be a trash bin for our children, okay?
00:07:06.340 We must leave this country a better place 0.93
00:07:08.640 than what we inherited. 0.80
00:07:09.840 If you are a Canadian that was born here,
00:07:12.040 or if you're a person that's a newcomer
00:07:13.980 that's come to this country,
00:07:14.980 we all have a responsibility and duty
00:07:17.080 to keep our country our home clean okay my ask okay and i think i speak for all canadians across 1.00
00:07:25.120 this country we have to impose the maximum penalties and fines to this woman to make it
00:07:31.760 clear not just once but twice on the counts that she's been caught two maximum fines she must be 1.00
00:07:38.360 sentenced to do community service to clean up the areas that she threw all of her garbage and 0.99
00:07:43.780 trashing okay and in addition to that she should do community service on top of that cleaning this
00:07:50.060 country cleaning her community and doing a good public service and not destroying what's so
00:07:55.640 beautiful about this country this is absolutely sickening we cannot stand for this as a country
00:08:00.740 any longer Canadians we all have a responsibility I count on all of you all of my followers and all
00:08:07.300 Canadians across this country when you go out to enjoy one of our beautiful parks our golf courses
00:08:13.580 our lakes, our rivers, our communities, our green spaces. You and me and all of us have a
00:08:19.700 collective responsibility to keep it clean and to hold people accountable, to make sure that if you
00:08:26.160 ever see this, you take action like these two brave Canadians did. The one at this park, this woman
00:08:32.880 who not only saw it happen, but recorded it and confronted her and reported it. And then the other
00:08:38.540 man, okay, at the school, who obviously was speaking the same language that she was, I believe
00:08:43.920 it's Punjabi, held her accountable. And my hat's off to him, especially because I believe, as you 0.86
00:08:50.480 know, I am a Muslim that was born in this country in Hamilton, Ontario. My dad is Iraqi and my mom
00:08:55.620 is Afghani. I believe that we are all Canadian first, number one. But number two, that we should
00:09:01.060 hold those communities that we also represent, whether it's Muslim in my case, or any Iraqi
00:09:06.580 Evgeny to a higher standard in bar. And I should be the first one that calls them out on their 0.98
00:09:12.600 I should be the first one that puts them on the stake when they do something that is egregiously
00:09:17.900 wrong that does not align to Canadian values because we are all Canadian first. And so these
00:09:24.020 two people are heroes and we all need to replicate what they just did. They are protectors of our
00:09:30.020 country. They didn't just watch. Okay. They took action and that is what will actually drive change
00:09:36.960 is action. So my call to action for all of you that watch this video, share this video, like it.
00:09:43.280 And if you can subscribe, that helps me and Juno news. And please follow Juno, my partner in
00:09:47.720 independent media that is much needed in this country. Do that. But also we need to go ahead
00:09:53.280 and support each other and keep these people in mind when we are in our green spaces and in our
00:09:58.700 lakes and our beautiful, beautiful country, because we want to keep it beautiful. We love
00:10:02.620 this country. This country is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. And we want
00:10:06.980 to keep it that way. We do not want our country to turn into a third world dump. That is not what 1.00
00:10:12.260 I want to leave for your children. It's not what I want to leave for my daughter. Okay, none of us
00:10:17.580 want that. And so it is the responsibility of all of us as Canadians, and every single member of
00:10:23.140 any community to hold ourselves accountable. And I'm calling on the Abbotsford police. This is
00:10:28.720 your moment. This is your moment. This is Canada's moment to make it very clear. There's zero
00:10:33.940 tolerance for defecating, for throwing all of your trash all over our country and thinking it's okay. 0.99
00:10:42.640 We can't allow that. So what a crazy, crazy week. This has been the main story this week. All of 0.99
00:10:48.680 this public dumping, all of the trash that's being left in our country. This is a call to action for
00:10:53.960 all Canadians. We all must stand up against this. We all must protect our country and what makes it
00:10:59.280 beautiful. So again, if you haven't already, please subscribe. Also, please subscribe to Juno
