00:05:23.560I don't think you need to own a car to be the transport minister.
00:05:28.480But as you mentioned, she resigned in shame as the finance minister.
00:05:31.920So she, again, is appearing to fail upwards or at least laterally.
00:05:37.760And then you've got justice minister, our new justice minister, Sean Fraser,
00:05:42.120who had just quit politics like a month ago or a few months ago to spend time with family.
00:05:49.540I guess he just didn't enjoy being with his family very much because he went right back into politics when Carney became the new prime minister.
00:05:55.880Another one that seems like another troll is Mark Gerritsen as the party whip.
00:06:07.540And that's going to be a very funny thing to watch if we ever resume parliament again.
00:06:13.020Yeah, I mean, if you recall, Mark Gerritsen recently accused the Juno News reporter of, well, being a Russian-influenced, you know, bot, I guess.
00:06:25.740I don't know exactly where he thought he was going with that.
00:08:24.540But another thing I found quite interesting was she called on the new environment minister.
00:08:30.080I think her name is Julie DeBruson to disavow what Guybeau said.
00:08:34.520The funny part is this comes just a day after Smith was smack talking DeBruson because she issued a statement on that as well, saying not happy with the new environment minister.
00:08:49.140She said, quote, not only is she a self-proclaimed architect of the designation of plastics as toxic,
00:08:56.060but she is a staunch advocate against oil sands expansion, a proponent of phasing out oil and gas.
00:09:02.080And for the last four years, she has served as the right hand to former environment minister and militant environmentalist Stephen Guybeau.
00:09:10.400And then Andrew Scheer, the conservative house leader, he got in on the fun, too.
00:09:15.720He basically just called out Guybeau for his ridiculous statements.
00:09:18.200He straight up said, look, Guybeau, you're lying.
00:09:20.360He made some claims about the Trans Mountain Pipeline's capacity.
00:09:23.980And Scheer said that's an outright lie.
00:09:27.480And then he said, more or less, the Liberals have attacked Canada's oil and gas industry over the last decade.
00:09:33.660We know Carney presented himself during the election as a pro-energy.
00:09:38.240So now that the same ministers are in the cabinet already waging war against energy,
00:09:45.080it really, I think, will leave Canadians scratching their head thinking, I thought we were going the other direction on this.
00:09:52.520Did you guys, I know I said a lot there, did you guys have anything to say about the whole Guybeau fiasco?
00:10:00.480Yeah, well, I think that Guybeau really is someone who doesn't change.
00:10:05.140You know, if there's anything about Guybeau that you can say about him, he's principled,
00:10:08.420probably unlike Mark Carney, whose values on carbon taxes changes depending on whether or not he's in the private sector or running for prime minister.
00:10:15.300But, you know, with Guybeau, at least you can say he's consistent, if anything, you know.
00:10:20.180But consistently bringing Guybeau back into cabinet after the Alberta premier has said that this is one of her big concerns,
00:10:28.700that she's concerned that Minister Guybeau is a radical and that he has views, you know, that are threatening to the interests of Alberta.
00:10:37.960I think that Mark Carney not necessarily is, you know, unintelligent for making such a pick,
00:10:45.420although I think it's an unintelligent pick.
00:10:46.900But I think that his advisors probably told him that, you know, we need someone who, you know, has experience
00:10:52.980and, you know, who has been in this role before, has been there, done that.
00:10:56.680But if your experience has been disaster, calamity and chaos, you know, I don't think that's quite valuable.
00:11:02.000You know, you can't really run and advocate off of that.
00:11:06.200But, you know, additionally, like, yeah, sure, we have repeats of the repeat ministers from the Trudeau years.
00:11:13.400We have Guybeau, Anita Anand, Sean Frazier, there's a few others.
00:11:18.080But you also have new ministers that are also probably equally as bad.
00:11:22.840For example, the former mayor of Vancouver from 2008 to 2018, Gregor Robertson, he was appointed as the Minister of Housing.
00:11:34.340Nathaniel Erksheim-Smith, an Ontario-based MP for Beaches East York, he got shuffled out of that position
00:11:41.000after years of trying to, you know, talk up his credentials and really be an advocate on the housing file.
00:11:48.380You know, he was placed in there as a placeholder and then right out the door.
00:11:52.500And this guy, Gregor Robertson, it's not like he has a terrific record on housing.
00:12:44.860Not only did housing prices soar up, but homelessness went up after initially pledging in 2008 that he would end homelessness in Vancouver.
00:12:54.580Vancouver is the capital of homelessness in this country.
00:12:57.280I mean, like you can't get any worse at achieving your goals than, you know, trying to eliminate homelessness and then overseeing like a 30% increase in homelessness.
00:13:36.600And Noah and the housing minister, I think the day after he was appointed was doing an interview and he said that housing prices don't need to come down.
00:14:52.140Of course, Trudeau made some crazy promises on, on the housing goals that he would hit.
00:14:58.000And of course, housing supply went down year over year.
00:15:00.340But I will say Carney might actually hit those same goals, which he's saying, because he's so invested and a bit of a pun there, by the way, in modular homes.
00:15:10.220So he might actually hit the 500,000 home goal a year or whatever it is through prefabricated homes.
00:15:16.140So, uh, might be seeing more trailer parks pop up across the country.
00:15:59.220Alex, you're of course our, our crime specialist.
00:16:01.260Uh, so you probably know a lot more about, uh, the regular process here than I do, because I just read these, these headlines and, and really shake my head just thinking, how is this possible?
00:16:11.840Is this kind of what we've come to expect in Canada?
00:16:16.320To some extent, these are pretty rare charges.
00:16:20.480So there's actually a case right now in the Vancouver Supreme Court.
00:16:26.200A woman had gone to Syria, uh, allegedly to join ISIS and, and that one is actually going through the courts right now, uh, because on her return to Canada and she was arrested, she's also, um, out and free.
00:16:41.560Um, so yeah, I mean, this is kind of Canada's revolving door justice system, right?
00:16:45.660People get charged with these heinous crimes and then they get put on house arrest and we just pray to God that they don't blow anything up.
00:16:53.260Yeah. And in this, uh, case specifically, this person, uh, you know, the, the crown, they saw a terrorism peace bond because they weren't, uh, this person was in charge with any specific charge, but, uh, he was attempting to, uh, go join a terrorist organization, uh, more than likely in Yemen.
00:17:11.720He's a Yemeni person, uh, who came to Canada a few years ago, uh, uh, you know, this, uh, terrorist organization that he went to join allegedly was an Iran backed, uh, organization.
00:17:23.560So more than likely the Houthis, um, so we could just, uh, see the power of, uh, online, uh, Islamic propaganda, but this is all really a consequence of the liberals disastrous immigration system.
00:17:37.000The immigration system that they've built over the past 10 years has become so permissive to where people who have these, uh, terrorist sympathies are able to come into our country.
00:17:46.980And it's not like this person wasn't demonstrating signs of this earlier on, uh, this person, uh, he has a very long, uh, name that's hard to pronounce.
00:17:54.680So I'm not even going to try, uh, but yeah, this person, uh, had frequented, uh, pro Hamas rallies, uh, you know, wrapping himself in the Yemeni flag, uh, you know, going online, uh, you know, repeating, uh, anti-Semitic or anti-Semitic adjacent rhetoric, uh, as, uh, B'nai B'rith had documented.
00:18:14.840And, uh, at the end of the day, uh, the federal government, they are looking to bring in more of these, uh, type of people.
00:18:22.580Uh, for example, I broke, uh, a story in, uh, this is based out of Victoria, B.C., where, uh, the federal government is giving $300,000 to, uh, this immigration organization to promote mass immigration, to continue to promote the idea that, uh, immigration isn't causing, uh, the house, housing crisis.
00:18:43.180Immigration isn't causing, uh, many of our social services, like healthcare, uh, you know, just, uh, the quality of our roads, even, uh, to deteriorate, uh, immigration isn't, uh, causing, uh, social fray within, uh, Canada's, uh, social fabric, where you see, uh, certain ethnic groups, uh, go into conflicts on inner streets.
00:19:04.120For example, with, uh, Hindus and, uh, Sikhs, who, you know, many Sikhs are very anti the government in India, the Modi government.
00:19:12.200And many Hindus are proud of their country and, uh, you know, are supportive of the Modi government.
00:19:17.220And they clash over the stuff in the streets.
00:19:19.420And then you get the pro-Kalistani people who are even more radical.
00:19:22.760Um, you have these sort of conflicts in our streets and the federal government, they don't acknowledge these issues.
00:19:30.040Uh, they just try to brush them under the rug.
00:19:32.220They say that the people who are blaming immigration, uh, for these problems are actually blaming the immigrants and that they are bigoted and racist and should be condemned.
00:19:42.100And, you know, just a cast away from polite society.
00:19:45.660And, uh, you know, you have these people who come to this country and they plot either terrorist attacks or they plot to join terrorist groups.
00:19:54.740And, you know, there's not really much you can do about that.
00:19:58.500You, all you can really do is hope that you catch them, uh, before they commit these acts.
00:20:02.420I know the RCMP, uh, or the Toronto police, they caught someone before, um, someone tried to commit a terrorist attack, uh, earlier this year in Toronto.
00:20:10.100And, uh, in this case, you had, uh, the RCMP managing to capture this person before they were able to, uh, go off to Yemen and join the Houthis more than likely.
00:20:19.620But at the end of the day, there are going to be instances where, um, you know, these, uh, people fall through the cracks and, uh, they're, you know, God forbid, uh, they're able to commit these heinous, uh, you know, acts of terror.
00:20:32.800And, you know, I don't want to live in a country in which we have to live under the fear and threat of, uh, Islamic adjacent terrorist attacks.
00:20:43.200And, and just bringing it back to cabinet for a second, we of course know Sean Fraser, uh, he did a remarkable job as minister of housing and immigration, uh, two separate files, but, and a bit of sarcasm there.
00:20:55.920But now he is the minister of justice and we've seen essentially all the premiers in the country say, please get rid of this revolving door justice system.
00:21:07.440We've seen all the, well, many police organizations and unions across the country say, there's nothing we can do.
00:21:14.220You keep letting them out because of this policy.
00:21:16.020What are the chances, uh, the new justice minister, Sean Fraser will, will, I mean, improve our, our crime conundrum we're in here with, with the revolving door justice system.
00:21:41.560I don't know why, given that, as you had mentioned, many police associations have been calling on the government to repeal these laws because they do contribute to the revolving door justice system.
00:21:52.380Uh, we have so many repeat offenders, violent repeat offenders, um, who are immediately given bail.
00:21:58.880I mean, bill C five in particular, uh, it encourages judges to provide bail with the least onerous conditions possible.
00:22:06.060So you have people that are violent criminals, just walking out into the street and recommitting their crimes and going back to jail and then coming back out and committing crimes again.
00:22:18.140And I just, uh, I don't really know how Sean Fraser could not see that as an issue.
00:22:24.160Well, the fact that Sean Fraser calls, uh, you know, the idea, uh, calls Paul Yev's ideas of repealing C, uh, C five and C 75 is a weird, uh, you know, that, that's kind of gross to me.
00:22:36.040You know, people are really, you know, being harmed by these policies.
00:22:39.440People are out in the street dying because, uh, repeat offenders are going out into the streets and, you know, they feel as if there is no real reason for them to stop doing what they're doing.
00:22:49.740They are just going to get released into the streets once and again and again and again.
00:22:53.840And you have the cases like the Miles Sanderson case, um, up in, I think it was, uh, Saskatchewan where he murdered like a dozen people, uh, on an Indian reservation.
00:23:04.240And you had the, the case, I think in Nova Scotia where someone was pretending to be a RCMP officer and they murdered again, like a dozen people.
00:23:12.320Uh, these are real, really serious issues that affect the lives of Canadians and to describe, you know, policies, uh, that are, you know, being released, um, uh, or releasing criminals onto the streets, uh, you know, as you know, uh, promoting the, the goodwill of the Canadian people.
00:23:31.240And, you know, describing, um, ideas to repeal these laws as being weird is just a minimization of the importance of this issue.
00:23:39.240And at the end of the day is not someone who should be the, the minister of justice.
00:23:44.240You know, this portfolio is a very serious portfolio.
00:23:46.240They managed our criminal justice system and our criminal justice system is in disarray.
00:23:51.240You know, as you guys have mentioned, we, we currently are living in a country where there is a catch and release system.
00:23:57.240You commit a crime, you rob a store, you, uh, punch a random stranger in the face.
00:24:04.240You're out in the streets after a day, you know, you try to, uh, you know, join the Houthis.
00:24:09.240Uh, you're out on the streets, uh, in a day on a terrorism peace bond where you're going to be released into a mosque.
00:24:16.240And then, uh, you know, you're, you're only, uh, the only restrictions on your movement is, you know, going within 500 meters of an airport or a border crossing, which, you know, my opinion is, uh, not sufficient.
00:24:27.240Uh, you know, this is the country that we're living in.
00:24:31.240And, you know, I think most Canadians, they see these stories and, uh, they, they think this is crazy.
00:25:03.240And I just, I, I don't know who would be advocating for this catch and release policy.
00:25:06.240Obviously it's terrible for Canadians who are having these crimes committed on them, but also terrible for the criminals, uh, which remember, I mean, jail can be a good thing.
00:25:16.240Like these people are not going to reform because they're not learning a lesson because they just commit a crime and then get released the very next day.
00:25:24.240Of course, they're not going to improve their lives.
00:25:25.240Improve their lives and, and any country with a good criminal justice system.
00:25:30.240What, what you want to see is your reoffending rate be as low as possible, because that means you're reforming criminals.
00:25:36.240You're actually doing the, the, the job of a, of a prison of a justice system.
00:25:40.240I mean, we, we, we could go on, uh, probably forever, but instead let's, let's cover, uh, a more fun crime story of sorts, I guess.
00:25:53.240So there was this psychic, uh, who was a fugitive for two decades from Florida, I believe, uh, because he, unrelated to his psychicness, he, uh, was charged with manslaughter for, for, uh, drinking and driving and killing two teens.
00:26:09.240But, uh, he was caught in Toronto, I think.
00:26:13.240Doesn't Toronto already have enough criminals, guys?
00:26:15.240Why, why is he taking a refuge in Toronto of all places?
00:26:19.240Well, you, this is, uh, probably the refuge for criminals.
00:26:23.240You know, I guess, uh, rumor is, it has it that you walk up to a Canadian border and you apply for refugees saying, I'm a criminal in another country.
00:26:32.240Uh, that's obviously a joke, but, uh, yeah, I mean, like, you know, Canada is a refuge for, uh, you know, people who want to, I guess, move, uh, to back to Yemen and commit terrorist acts.
00:26:42.240Or, uh, you know, for people, uh, you know, a lot of people complain that, uh, uh, Canada doesn't crack down on money laundering, for example.
00:26:49.240And you have a lot of these storefronts, um, that are kind of, uh, shady that are not really profitable businesses, clearly not profitable businesses, but nonetheless, you know, they seem to be able to keep the lights on and, uh, pay the rent.
00:27:02.240Um, and it's quite suspicious and that's cause, you know, Canada doesn't really do a good job cracking down on money laundering, but this person was able to disguise himself as a psychic.
00:27:10.240I think you, I don't want to like, uh, you know, give this person credit cause they did like, you know, kill people, um, in drunk driving, but, you know, give, give this person credit for being able to use their psychic powers to, uh, you know, I guess, uh, get the police off of them.
00:27:24.240You know, I don't know what sort of mind control trickery magic that, you know, he, uh, you know, is doing over there, but I guess it worked for him to be able to avoid the law that long.
00:27:35.240Well, he was on the, he was on the run for 21 years.
00:27:38.240Do you think that was, uh, in part due to his, uh, psychic ability?
00:27:42.240He could see when the cops are coming.
00:27:44.240Well, it really does make you wonder how many, because we all know we have the world's largest unprotected border with the United States.
00:27:51.240How many of fugitives from the United States are walking around?
00:27:56.240I imagine it's a lot more than anybody can really grasp because nobody would go the other way, right?
00:28:03.240Like if you committed a crime in Canada, you wouldn't go to the United States on the risk of getting caught in the United States and having to actually do jail time.
00:28:10.240Well, only the stupid criminals do that.
00:28:12.240Uh, there's this, uh, Toronto rapper named top five, uh, who basically like committed a heinous crime, like murdered someone or whatever.
00:28:21.240Uh, and then, you know, he was trolling, uh, Toronto's mayor at the time, John Tory, uh, on social media, uh, while he's on the run.
00:28:28.240And then he went to Los Angeles and, uh, got arrested.
00:28:31.240I mean, like Los Angeles is like, kind of like, you know, a good alternative.
00:28:35.240Uh, if, if you, if you're from Canada and you want to flee somewhere, it's like, ah, it's basically like warmer Canada there, especially the way they, they're governed by, uh, Gavin Newsom and friends.
00:28:44.240Uh, but yeah, I mean, he still got caught.
00:28:47.240So, uh, I guess, I guess it was a really good idea.
00:28:50.240Same thing with the, uh, Toronto gold heist.
00:28:52.240The only person serving jail time right now is in the United States because he made the mistake of going to the United States where they actually put people in jail.
00:29:19.240You know, if India get, get so mad that, you know, we have like alleged, you know, criminals, uh, that we're harboring, you know, why can't, you know, they do the same for us?
00:29:28.240I guess, uh, you know, I, I don't want to continue this line of thought because I'm going to say something I'm not allowed to.
00:29:34.240But at the end of the day, uh, you know, like we, we, we, we don't really like take, take the, you know, uh, this stuff too seriously.
00:29:42.240And in the case of the psychic, I mean, you know, two decades is a long time.
00:29:46.240There's no like person who like, who was able to identify this person.
00:29:49.240Uh, there was no, I guess, you know, like, look, look, these psychic businesses.
00:29:53.240I don't know if you've ever been to a mall or like a flea market where they have, you know, these, uh, services or whatever.
00:30:00.240They're actually like scamming people, uh, honestly, like, you know, they're engaging in, uh, deceptive business practices.
00:30:06.240Uh, so it's not like, uh, the, you know, the, the, uh, the provincial governments haven't been, you know, vetting, uh, these businesses or whatever, because, you know, they, they are kind of, uh, you know, sketchy or whatever.
00:30:19.240But the fact that, you know, he was able to avoid the law after 21 years after running a sketchy business, it's like, you know, uh, committing a crime, going to another country and then becoming a drug dealer, you know, opening a storefront for cocaine.
00:30:32.240And then, you know, avoiding law for 21 years.
00:30:34.240It was like, well, you know, that's kind of your fault for not catching the guy.
00:30:37.240But, uh, yeah, I must say though, he is aging.
00:30:41.240Well, based on the picture, I don't know what that has to do with his psychic ability, but you know, like he looks younger.
00:31:51.240Those, uh, that crystal that you have that, you know, just mineral rock that you, you touch at the beginning of the day and think that gives you powers.
