00:00:00.000 Why does our justice system feel like it is not holding these people accountable, these criminals,
00:00:06.760 people that consistently break the law, people that engage in dangerous activities,
00:00:12.400 people that possess illegal firearms, people that should not even be in this country?
00:00:17.560 It was always about diversity, inclusion.
00:00:21.020 All of the races are being shown on their ads and all their campaigns. 0.59
00:00:25.300 Why is it all white people now, Tim Hortons?
00:00:27.460 Have you become racists?
00:00:29.460 Why don't I see my fellow Afghani and Iraqis represented? 0.95
00:00:33.540 Why don't I see the black community represented?
00:00:35.860 Why don't I see the Asian community represented?
00:00:38.280 Why don't I see even some part of the representation
00:00:41.000 of the primarily Indian-based temporary foreign workers
00:00:44.620 that you've hired that represent your workforce?
00:00:47.480 How come it's all white people now?
00:00:53.160 Tonight, we begin with a story of 20-year-old Michaela Carpino,
00:00:56.840 a young woman dead, a family shattered, and Harold Santana Simon has been found not guilty
00:01:02.260 of second degree murder, but guilty on firearms charges. I'm not here to retry the case. We don't
00:01:07.540 even have all the details of the case, but Canadians are allowed to ask a bigger question.
00:01:12.080 Why does justice in this country so often feel disconnected from accountability? Because it's
00:01:17.460 not just about this one courtroom, this one case. It's about a country where people are losing faith
00:01:22.480 the systems that are supposed to protect them and that same feeling runs through other stories we
00:01:27.360 are covering tonight a tim hortens campaign for example that feels like a desperate attempt to
00:01:32.560 repair the damage done to canada's most iconic brands or once most iconic brands or a colonna
00:01:39.120 restaurant and the family being forced out of the country over immigration issues and admin issues
00:01:45.600 despite building a business creating jobs and contributing to the community
00:01:49.440 and the bigger question underneath it all is simple who does canada actually fight for now
00:01:54.960 is it the victims the workers the builders the families who follow the rules work hard
00:02:00.400 and contribute to the canadian dream or is it the systems corporations and bureaucracies that
00:02:05.760 keep failing them because more and more it feels like canada punishes the productive
00:02:10.880 and protects the destructive and with that i want you to see the case of michaela carpino
00:02:17.120 literally got away with murder. Santana Simon's defense lawyers leave the courthouse escorted by
00:02:22.180 police officers around noon on Friday. An hour earlier, a jury found their 29-year-old client
00:02:27.840 not guilty of second-degree murder. The verdict setting off an angry outburst by some people
00:02:33.200 sitting in the gallery. The judge couldn't even believe it. After the jury foreman said not guilty
00:02:37.000 to count one second-degree murder, the family of Roxburgh Carpino looked shocked. The judge
00:02:41.520 asked for clarification and the foreman repeated not guilty the judge couldn't even believe it
00:02:46.600 who was standing in the prisoner's box then sat down and put his face in his hands as friends and
00:02:51.940 family of roxburg carpino began yelling and screaming people rushed him while he was there
00:02:57.280 watch this to his ex-girlfriend centauri camara's apartment near eglinton and dufferin at 5 a.m on
00:03:02.820 may 11th 2024 illegal alien texting with other men camara had blocked him on her phone the crown
00:03:09.500 argued Simon was annoyed when he got to the bedroom and realized Roxburgh Carpino was staying
00:03:13.960 over. The Crown said when the 20-year-old friend would not leave, Simon, fueled by jealousy and
00:03:18.940 anger, put a gun to her head and pulled the trigger because he wanted to kill her. Roxburgh
00:03:23.840 Carpino's DNA was found on the muzzle of the illegal handgun. After the shooting, Simon ran
00:03:29.220 off and tried to hide. He was arrested in the high-risk takedown later that day. Police found
00:03:33.960 the loaded firearm. By the end of the trial, defense lawyers conceded Simon was guilty on two
00:03:38.880 other counts he was charged with, possessing a prohibited firearm and occupying a motor vehicle
00:03:43.960 knowing there was a prohibited firearm. In its closing address, the defense told the jury Simon
00:03:48.520 went to his ex-girlfriend's apartment that night to reconcile and have sex and said he was no longer
00:03:53.520 upset. Simon testified when he arrived, things escalated and the ex-girlfriend pulled out his
00:03:59.260 loaded handgun. His gun kept in the girlfriend's bedside dresser for protection. Simon testified
00:04:04.760 when he tried to disarm her the gun accidentally went off he said in her head afterwards which is
00:04:10.420 why he fled a sentencing hearing for two gun charges has yet to be scheduled simon is facing
00:04:16.500 a deportation order upon completion of his sentence given he has no status here in canada
00:04:21.980 so based on what we know let's put this together somebody in this country that has no status and
00:04:28.820 now facing deportation the only witness is the friend laying beside her in bed saying and i quote
00:04:36.640 i saw him pick raise up the gun and shoot her in the same bed that she is in the only witness there
00:04:44.580 he owns it's his illegal firearm so this is an illegal alien this is somebody with an illegal
00:04:51.080 firearm and we have somebody that is in direct record quoting that this person raised that
00:04:57.240 firearm and shot her in the head but we are to believe his story that she pointed the gun at him
00:05:03.820 and he wrestled it out of her hands in self-defense and just so happened to accidentally
00:05:09.060 shoot her in the head this is crazy to me and it also says a lot when the judge has to repeat and
00:05:15.700 ask what is the verdict and the family just lost their minds uh they went and people were actually 0.99
00:05:21.240 trying to rush him while they were in court this is unbelievable but this is this is part of the
00:05:26.240 problem again? Why does our justice system feel like it is not holding these people accountable,
00:05:32.980 these criminals, people that consistently break the law, people that engage in dangerous activities,
00:05:39.640 people that possess illegal firearms, people that should not even be in this country.
00:05:44.420 And it seems like we prioritize their well-being. We prioritize the perpetrators over the victims
00:05:52.220 and the family. This poor girl has had her life erased. This family's life is destroyed. And this 0.94
00:05:58.880 is what we're doing. And this is why it's important that we all talk about this because these systems
00:06:03.460 are supposed to be in place to protect the victims. These systems should be in place to
00:06:09.540 make sure that there's actually justice and that when we bring down justice, there's proper
00:06:14.760 denunciation in place so that people, criminals, don't take these actions and think that they can
00:06:21.160 get away with it. But when we have things like this happen, this signals to criminals from around
00:06:27.100 the world, not only can you come here illegally, you can get your firearms illegally, and then you 0.94
00:06:32.000 can go ahead and shoot and kill people and get out essentially scot-free. When he gets deported 0.99
00:06:38.240 to me, that's his jail card, his jail card, get out of jail card. He is free. He's going to not
00:06:45.300 have to suffer the consequences of this anymore once he's out of here. And the family is left
00:06:50.020 to pick up the pieces. Again, this is just another failure of what we see within this country and
00:06:55.660 what we're supposed to be doing in protecting the victims of these heinous crimes. And you see these
00:07:00.420 stories and you see this happening, not just within the justice system, but you see the failure
00:07:06.300 happening within the Canadian image itself. And Canada is supposed to be a country, the images,
00:07:12.220 and this is how my family came to this country, an image of justice, an image of accountability,
00:07:18.160 an image of standing up for the greater good, standing up for Canadians, standing up for your
00:07:23.980 neighbors, standing up for your peers. And it pains me actually, and this is tied to the next story,
00:07:28.700 how a once iconic brand like Tim Hortons can take that, that Canadian dream that now I call
00:07:36.000 a facade and really use it only to their corporate beneficiaries, to increase their
00:07:44.660 corporate profits, to increase the bottom line and simply tarnish the Canadian image in the way
00:07:51.200 that they're doing it today is honestly sick. We've talked a lot about what Tim Hortons has done,
00:07:55.480 basically undercutting our youth, hiring temporary foreign workers across this country to essentially 0.99
00:08:01.760 support modern day slave labor so that they can increase their profit margins, drive down wages 0.74
00:08:07.440 while robbing our youth of their employment opportunities that they need to build social
00:08:11.820 skills to get experiences, to build a better future in this country. And we've done this in
00:08:16.580 this country. And now Tim Hortons is facing backlash because people like myself and many
00:08:21.860 others are finally opening their eyes and waking up and saying, this is unacceptable. And now Tim
00:08:27.220 Hortons is fighting back with what? They're going on a full marketing campaign to change that
00:08:33.280 narrative. And I want you to tell me the truth. Okay. I've lived in Ontario all my life. I live
00:08:37.700 in British Columbia now. I visited Tim Hortons prior to my boycott many, many times. I boycotted
00:08:43.260 Tim Hortons for now two years now. I want you to watch this latest video and I want you to tell me
00:08:49.180 what's wrong with it. Tim Hortons is on a huge national campaign to change your perspective of
00:08:54.520 them. Watch this video. You notice something off about it? When we're hiring team members,
00:09:00.420 we look for people that just love people. Oh, they're looking for people that just love people.
00:09:05.220 i've worked at tim hortons for 34 years so i choose to keep coming back to tim's because of
00:09:10.020 the people staff and customers something seems off about this video and the new people that come in
00:09:14.420 the doors every day what do you guys think is off and i've worked at tim hortons for five years
00:09:18.820 something is this doesn't look like the timmies i know what what looked off there does something
00:09:28.340 feel off and wrong well to me i didn't see a tim hortons that i see every single day
00:09:34.340 when I, when I visit, when I previously visited, I see a marketing campaign that's trying to push a
00:09:40.220 all white image of employees in their Tim Hortons location as a way to combat what everybody is
00:09:47.020 saying about them taking advantage of the temporary foreign worker program. I should be
00:09:51.360 able, this is super funny and hypocritical because Tim Hortons was all about for, for as long as I
00:09:56.900 remember as a, you know, I was born and raised here in Canada and Hamilton, Ontario, the birthplace
00:10:01.640 of Tim Hortons, mind you. It was always about diversity, inclusion. All of the races are being
00:10:08.320 shown on their ads and all their campaigns. Why is it all white people now, Tim Hortons? Have you 0.99
00:10:13.660 become racists? Why don't I see my fellow Afghani and Iraqis represented? Why don't I see the black
00:10:20.460 community represented? Why don't I see the Asian community represented? Why don't I see even some
00:10:25.760 part of the representation of the primarily Indian-based temporary foreign workers that
00:10:31.160 you've hired that represent your workforce? How come it's all white people now? How come now
00:10:36.640 nobody's holding you accountable to say, are you racist? How come? What happened to inclusion?
00:10:42.720 What happened to diversity? All of a sudden, hey, oh, we might be at risk. Dunkin' Donuts is coming
00:10:49.960 into Canada. We're getting all this negative backlash on our temporary foreign workers and
00:10:54.800 we've lobbied the government for you know what guys let's make an ad campaign of just all white
00:11:02.080 people yes let's just put all the white people out there and make this ad campaign and people
00:11:08.560 will think we are hiring canadian wow like unbelievable like you go from one extreme
00:11:15.440 to the other like and we can see the facade you've used the canadian image to your advantage
00:11:20.960 to increase your profit margins to trick canadians of the reputation that's what makes me actually
00:11:26.480 sick of it all they use the whole image of canada behind their marketing right when people think
00:11:32.400 tim hortons they think canada when i was in dubai they had a tim hortons it's covered in the canadian
00:11:38.480 flag okay the maple leaf totally covered they use that that international brand and reputation for
00:11:45.760 their advantage and when oh this is so funny and when they need to go ahead and pivot they will
00:11:51.520 flat out lie to canadians all for what all to drive for the bottom line at the end of the day
00:11:56.240 what does this tell you you cannot trust tim hortons i think everybody in this country has
00:12:00.960 lost trust in tim hortons you can see that everything they do is totally motivated by
00:12:07.280 profit whether that was lobbying the government to increase the cap for temporary foreign workers
00:12:12.240 whether that's the obvious use of temporary foreign workers across all their franchises, 0.94
00:12:16.520 whether that's now this pathetic marketing campaign where they use all just white people 0.95
00:12:20.960 in this campaign. I want to see the liberals that stand up for diversity, equity, and inclusion. 0.95
00:12:27.940 I want all of you to raise your voices and demand why Tim Hortons only used white people in this ad.
00:12:33.980 Where are the people of the ethnicity and background of like Sondran? Where's the Afghans, 1.00
00:12:38.920 the Iraqis, the Portuguese, the Indians, the Asians. Why is there no diversity here? Someone 0.97
00:12:44.560 should be flagging them. Why is CBC News not making a big deal about this? Why? Where? Where
00:12:51.020 did this all go? Oh, it just all disappeared because money, because money. This makes me sick.
00:12:58.160 This honestly makes me sick. And Tim Hortons, you should be ashamed. And I encourage everybody here
00:13:02.620 in this country, if you actually care about your fellow citizens, you care about our children,
00:13:09.400 Boycott Tim Hortons.
00:13:10.660 Join me and millions of others boycotting Tim Hortons.
00:13:13.600 Support your local coffee chain.
00:13:16.400 Support your local coffee shop.
00:13:18.240 Go buy a coffee from there.
00:13:20.160 Do not buy Tim Hortons. 1.00
00:13:21.400 And by the way, their coffee is shit. 1.00
00:13:24.540 Okay, their food is crap. 1.00
00:13:26.620 It is literally something 0.99
00:13:27.660 that you should not be putting in your body.
00:13:29.640 It is not good for you.
00:13:31.160 Like the quality of the food is just atrocious now.
00:13:33.660 So don't go to Tim Hortons.
00:13:35.600 Boycott Tim Hortons.
00:13:36.600 stand up for your fellow peers and canadians across this country this is this is so sad to
00:13:42.280 see a canadian icon to be honest with you just totally tarnish their image but they've done this
00:13:46.020 they've done it to themselves for the greed of corporate profit and they so rightfully deserve
00:13:51.320 this and they're not even canadian anymore by the way they are not canadian at all okay they're owned
00:13:55.940 by a conglomerate now don't feel bad boycotts importance and this takes me to another story
00:14:01.320 with all of this stuff that's going wrong this is in my own backyard in kelowna british columbia
00:14:05.920 This is really sad because all I see is a system that continuously, this is this two-tier justice, two-tier immigration system that we have, tries to protect criminals, immigrants that come into this country with criminal backgrounds to perform crimes, home invasions, whatever it is, armed robberies, breaking into businesses, and judges will specifically reduce their sentences so that they avoid deportation.
00:14:30.180 But then when you have a hardworking immigrant family come and buy into the Canadian dream to set up a business, a restaurant in this case, one of the most top rated restaurants in Kelowna, British Columbia, and because of administrative hurdles and errors in their filing process, they are now being asked to leave the country and close up shop.
00:14:53.480 Watch this video.
00:15:00.180 to face goal and countless moments shared with our community that will come and support us we
00:15:06.260 unfortunately find ourselves in the position of having to leave canada due to a series of
00:15:12.980 administrative issues and errors that occurred throughout our immigration process we were
00:15:20.100 unable to achieve the outcome we had hoped for we did everything within our power to find a solution
00:15:27.060 investing time energy and resources but today we must accept a reality we never want to face
00:15:33.540 this is not a decision we have chosen to make if it were up to us we will continue building
00:15:40.340 our future here working every day to grow the project we believe in him from the very beginning
00:15:46.500 we would like to thank everyone who has supported us throughout this journey our guests our staff
00:15:53.220 our friends and everyone who believe in us each of you has a left a mark on our lives
00:16:01.220 and we will carry these memories with us forever with great sadness we must also announce that the
00:16:07.300 restaurant will permanently close its doors at the end of the center this is a painful very painful
00:16:14.660 decision until then we will continue to do what we have always done welcome you with passion
00:16:21.620 professionalism and gratitude and make these final months as meaningful as possible for all of us
00:16:29.780 we will leave this country with heavy hearts but also with gratitude for everything we have
00:16:35.700 experienced here we don't know yet what with the future the future holds but we know that we will
00:16:42.340 face to match up with the same termination that does guide us this one thank you kelona thank you
00:16:51.780 canada danilo angelo these are the type of people we need in this this is honestly so heartbreaking
00:17:01.860 we seemingly have self-destructive suicidal compassion for people that kill others in this
00:17:08.980 country that terrorize our communities and judges and our justice system and our immigration system
00:17:16.260 will do everything that they can to keep these people in the country and then you have a family 0.99
00:17:20.100 like this immigrants these are the immigrants that built this country these are the type of
00:17:25.620 immigrants that come into the country that we need hard-working immigrants that come in to build
00:17:30.500 something add value to the community they built an amazing restaurant in the third biggest city
00:17:35.780 in british columbia very highly rated they obviously you look at their staff you look at
00:17:40.320 their awards everyone is so happy they're they're beautiful parts of the community and because of
00:17:45.480 administrative burden and errors they can't figure out a solution to keep people like this in the
00:17:52.580 country these are the people and the families that we need desperately here this is an example of the
00:17:59.020 canadian dream this is what we should be thinking about in terms of our immigration program bringing
00:18:04.140 families like this one into the country and giving them the opportunity to stay when there's a hurdle 0.93
00:18:10.780 working with them to make sure that we can write the things that need to be made right so that we
00:18:15.980 can stay that they can stay and continue to build and contribute this is so sad and it really makes
00:18:22.840 me wonder how are we so backwards in this country it feels it really doesn't make any sense it feels
00:18:30.080 like everything is lopsided when we're protecting criminals and those that destroy our country but
00:18:36.480 when people come to build here they come to contribute they come to assimilate they come
00:18:41.680 to make a greater impact for our communities they seemingly can't get any help from the government
00:18:47.200 this pains me and so i've emailed this restaurant business owner he he knows that we've covered the
00:18:52.560 story our mp uh he has now been made aware uh steven fuhrer a liberal colonna mp of the situation
00:19:01.600 he has asked his staff has asked that the owners contact him and i've connected the owners with him
00:19:07.040 as well but we need to solve for this not only for this story but for all the others like again
00:19:12.080 this is all about prioritization right why are we not helping a family like this has obviously
00:19:17.680 contributed in so many ways to this country. Why are we not putting our time and effort there?
00:19:23.200 Why do we continue to put our time and effort into illegal migrants here that terrorize and kill 1.00
00:19:27.880 people in our communities? It doesn't make any sense at all. So what a crazy week. Again, 1.00
00:19:32.800 I would highly recommend. I hope you guys enjoyed this. Please like this video. Subscribe to myself
00:19:37.360 and Juno. I want to say again, thank you to Juno. They're a partner of mine because they support
00:19:42.060 independent perspectives across this country. That is what we're lacking in this country today.
00:19:46.380 And they're the largest media organization, independent media in Canada.
00:19:50.860 So please make sure to subscribe, subscribe to their sub stack in their newsletter.
00:19:54.420 We need more independent voices to speak the common sense reality of what is happening,
00:19:59.020 because in today's world, we all know this.
00:20:01.720 CBC, the mainstream media get paid for and funded by this liberal government.
00:20:06.200 There's a conflict of interest there.
00:20:08.100 Thus, they do not bring in the full political spectrum of voices to speak to the issues
00:20:13.100 that matter to Canadians.
00:20:14.260 And so we have to take that mantle on so that we can educate all Canadians from coast to coast about the issues and fight for a better country for our families, children, new immigrants that want to buy into the Canadian dream so that we can build a better future for all of us.
00:20:29.100 Have a great week and thank you for watching.
