A country in which political leaders and unelected bureaucrats can ruin and upend the lives of millions of their own people due to their own mistakes and face zero accountability is not a free country. It s not a democratic country, but it s the country that we live in.

00:00:00.000 As we speak a remarkable thing is happening in the United Kingdom. Former UK Prime Minister Boris
00:00:11.760 Johnson is having to field some tough and rather uncomfortable questions over his failures during
00:00:17.040 the pandemic. In other words Johnson is having to face the music as the British people are getting
00:00:22.240 access to pages and pages of private emails, WhatsApp group chats, and conversations that
00:00:28.080 took place around the Covid leadership table during the pandemic. Can I just say how glad I am to be at
00:00:35.040 this inquiry and how sorry I am for the the pain and the loss and the suffering of the Covid victims.
00:00:46.640 Please sit down. It's remarkable not just because it's a rare display of politicians being held to
00:00:52.480 account for their failures although that in and of itself would be quite remarkable. It's remarkable
00:00:57.520 because it appears as though the United Kingdom is the only place in the western world currently
00:01:02.080 trying to get to the bottom of what actually happened. I mean only 230,000 people died and
00:01:06.800 millions of lives were ruined due to their unscientific and authoritarian mandates. What's the big deal,
00:01:11.920 right? Now in Canada no such formal inquiry is obviously taking place but a group of patriotic
00:01:17.760 and courageous citizens took it upon themselves to launch the National Citizens Inquiry to figure out
00:01:23.440 what happened in our country during that remarkable time. The findings of their inquiry which were
00:01:28.320 wrapped up a few weeks ago are truly astounding. The federal government and provincial governments
00:01:32.800 across the country lied to us in order to justify absurd restrictions on our freedoms. We were misled
00:01:39.120 about the unscientific and forced use of masks. We were misled about the forced compliance with social
00:01:45.760 distancing rules and of course we were sold those safe and effective vaccines which were so safe and
00:01:51.360 effective that we had to be forced and mandated to take them. Not to mention that COVID brought
00:01:55.280 with it one of the worst collective failures in journalism history which I think is pretty safe
00:01:59.440 to say at this point. So where are the calls for formal accountability in Canada? Why aren't
00:02:03.840 politicians and unelected bureaucrats forced to face the Canadian people? Tens of thousands of Canadian
00:02:09.760 lives were lost and millions of lives were irrecoverably ruined by the restrictions and mandates on our
00:02:15.600 freedoms. So what is everybody afraid of? Drop a like in the video, help us out by subscribing to the
00:02:20.160 true north youtube channel. Stick around for the ratio of the weak prize and the common question for
00:02:24.480 the episode is this. Why aren't elected politicians calling for formal accountability? Let me know in
00:02:31.520 the comments and let's get into it. A country in which political leaders and unelected bureaucrats 0.92
00:02:36.640 can ruin and upend the lives of millions of their own people due to their own mistakes
00:02:41.120 and face zero accountability is not a free country. It's not a democratic country but it's the country that
00:02:47.280 we live in. It is what's happening in Canada. It's the kind of thing that should scare every Canadian
00:02:52.080 and most importantly it's the kind of thing that every Canadian should be paying attention to. Now
00:02:56.640 the great people over at the National Citizens Inquiry have been paying attention to this. After
00:03:01.440 24 days of hearings and listening to over 300 testimonies along with sinking thousands of volunteer
00:03:07.680 hours into research the National Citizens Inquiry have published their final report. Now the findings of
00:03:13.600 the National Citizens Inquiry final report won't surprise many Canadians. But what also won't
00:03:19.120 surprise many Canadians is the complete lack of interest taken by public health officials and
00:03:24.720 political leaders into the recommendations and findings of the inquiry's final report. That's because
00:03:30.720 not only do these people not expect to be held to account but they have no interest in holding
00:03:35.120 themselves to account obviously. So what will actually come from this monumental citizen-led effort? As a matter of
00:03:41.760 fact the National Citizens Inquiry sent out 63 summons to public health officials and political leaders
00:03:48.400 to see if maybe they would like to show the Canadian public what they were up to during that time and
00:03:53.920 if they have any justification for what they did. Of course not a single official testified at the NCI,
00:04:00.080 not one. The haughty attitude of absent officials who refused invitations to testify leaves many wondering
00:04:08.880 what these nabobs of national health and their political overlords have to hide. The record of their
00:04:16.960 refusal to speak with their fellow Canadians stands and truth and trust are the losers. That is the equivalent
00:04:25.200 of giving a giant middle finger to the suffering Canadian public. The Canadian public whose lives
00:04:31.840 were ruined due to their mistakes, their failures, and yet they have no interest in showing up to the
00:04:38.320 citizens-led inquiry. But before we get into more of this let's go over some of the major findings of
00:04:43.280 the NCI report. The first and most important finding of the NCI final report is the need for Canada to launch
00:04:49.760 a full judicial investigation into the authorization of vaccines in Canada, along with exploring criminal
00:04:56.400 liability under existing Canadian law. Something that I think millions of Canadians would like to
00:05:01.120 see happen. Other findings include calls for a thorough review of the Canadian court's handling
00:05:06.400 of pandemic-related cases to rebuild public confidence in the justice system, examining and reforming the
00:05:12.080 extent of executive authority during emergencies and establishing clear frameworks for public health
00:05:17.120 authorities' decision-making processes, balancing public health needs with individual rights and freedoms.
00:05:23.120 The report also emphasizes safeguarding healthcare professionals' freedom of expression and conducting
00:05:28.640 an independent inquiry into the governance of professional colleges, especially those governing medical
00:05:34.160 professionals. The NCI also insists on maintaining in-person learning as the primary mode of education,
00:05:40.560 with remote learning as a contingency, and calls for a review of labor laws to protect employees
00:05:46.080 during health emergencies. The report also highlights the importance of supporting vulnerable populations
00:05:51.680 during crises, the necessity of informed consent in medical treatments, and the development of a
00:05:56.800 judicial panel to investigate human rights violations during the pandemic. The NCI also proposed the
00:06:02.880 establishment of a National Crisis Oversight Council to monitor and investigate government actions during
00:06:08.480 crises and calls for a national dialogue on the Church's role in society, emphasizing the need for policy watch to
00:06:14.720 protect the rights and freedoms of faith groups. So again, I ask the question, why aren't opposition
00:06:20.800 political parties demanding that provincial governments and the federal government hold themselves to
00:06:26.080 account? What could there possibly be to lose for the Conservative Party, for example, to demand that the
00:06:31.120 federal government launch a formal inquiry into the pandemic? What could there possibly be to lose for the
00:06:35.680 Ontario NDP to demand that Doug Ford's Progressive Conservative Party be held to account for their mistakes?
00:06:42.000 Right now, nobody, whether they are in government or in opposition, are trying to get to the bottom
00:06:47.440 of what happened. But that's not what is happening in other parts of the world. Boris Johnson has been
00:06:52.000 hauled before the official public inquiry into the pandemic in the UK. The British people are getting
00:06:57.760 access to these crucial private documents, which give them front row access into what was actually
00:07:03.520 going on. Whether or not any accountability will actually be delivered is one thing, but at least the
00:07:08.720 appearance of accountability is something. Imagine if we got access into Theresa Tam's private
00:07:13.280 communications when she decided to flip-flop on masks. Or when she peddled those safe and effective
00:07:18.640 vaccines. Imagine if we got to see conversations between Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland. Or what
00:07:24.320 if we got to see Jason Kenney's private communications, or Francois Legault's private communications,
00:07:29.920 or Doug Ford's private communications. Those people work for us, and they should be reminded of that
00:07:35.600 every single day. In Ireland, a country that is currently trying to pass dystopian and authoritarian
00:07:42.160 online hate speech laws, has also committed to holding a formal pandemic inquiry. It is important
00:07:47.600 that we find out what we got right and what we got wrong. And that's why there will be a public inquiry.
00:07:53.120 And a public inquiry will be established this year to examine how the pandemic was handled in Ireland.
00:07:59.280 Not just the healthcare aspects of it, such as what happens in hospitals and nursing homes,
00:08:03.440 but also testing the public health advice that was given around mass antigen tests,
00:08:08.320 all those things that became controversial, and also the economic response. All these things need
00:08:12.880 to be inquired into. But of course, this isn't happening in Canada. Now the only province that can
00:08:17.120 be given any credit whatsoever in any of this is Alberta, which also happens to be the province which
00:08:22.400 became known in this country for arresting pastors on a regular routine basis. The Alberta government
00:08:28.000 launched the Public Health Emergencies Governance Review Panel, which was led by former Reform Party
00:08:33.920 leader Preston Manning. The review panel's recommendations focused mainly on instituting
00:08:38.080 significant legislative amendments in order to protect civil liberties, which is hilariously
00:08:43.600 evident to anyone in this country paying attention. So again, not much is going to come from this
00:08:48.560 review panel. Did this review panel hold Jason Kenney to account? Did it hold Dina Hinshaw to account?
00:08:54.480 Of course it didn't. The only people who really seem interested in trying to get down to business
00:08:58.640 and to hold these people account are the people at the National Citizens Inquiry. The longer time goes on,
00:09:04.240 the more Canadians are going to forget about what happened to us and what our leaders did to us.
00:09:09.440 The government deputized private security guards to go house to house to check your papers if you
00:09:15.440 happen to be in government-enforced quarantine. Those vaccines were sold to us under a marketing slogan,
00:09:21.920 safe, and effective. Canadians were told by the state where they were allowed to go inside of
00:09:26.640 their own country. The Canadian Armed Forces were militarized against the people as they conducted
00:09:32.320 propaganda testing on unwitting civilians. Students weren't allowed to go to school if they didn't take
00:09:37.920 a vaccine. You couldn't go to a gym. You couldn't go to a movie theater. You couldn't go to a restaurant.
00:09:43.040 Long-term care homes basically turned into death camps. And the government-backed and government-funded
00:09:48.000 media not only peddled propaganda, but shamed Canadians who dared to defy restrictions.
00:09:53.200 Hats off to the great people over at the National Citizens Inquiry. Their tireless efforts deserve our
00:09:58.720 full and complete admiration as Canadians. As far as I'm concerned, the commissioners of the NCI
00:10:04.080 deserve to be inducted into the Order of Canada for their efforts. The most disgusting part about this,
00:10:08.160 however, is that all the awards, all the accolades, and all the decorations are going to go to the
00:10:13.280 public health officials who ruin the lives of millions of Canadians and who have escaped
00:10:17.840 accountability. All right, time for a quick race show of the week. The winner this week is one of
00:10:22.160 Justin Trudeau's most loyal cabinet ministers, Seamus O'Regan. While delivering a speech at the Empire
00:10:27.840 Club of Canada on Monday, Seamus wanted to remind Canadians that we're still not over COVID.
00:10:33.600 Well, Canadians disagreed with Seamus here. 3.1,000 replies to only 678 likes. Most of us are much,
00:10:43.280 much more concerned about the government's response to COVID than COVID itself. Canadians would be in a
00:10:48.560 much better place if government had done absolutely nothing at all but left doctors to treat the disease
00:10:54.000 in the healthcare settings. Get out of here with your propaganda. You're all pathetic. I feel like
00:10:59.280 someone wrote a script on how to lose the next election and you are following to the letter.
00:11:03.520 Well put. All right, everyone, that's going to do it for us this week on the show.
00:11:06.560 Thank you so much for tuning in. My name is Harrison Faulkner and this is Ratioed.
