00:00:00.000 Welcome, everyone, to Ratio'd. My name is Harrison Faulkner. Well, you know when you
00:00:11.400 see things on social media from important social media accounts like the Prime Minister of Canada
00:00:16.140 or from a bank or another corporate entity, but you just can't understand how someone could
00:00:20.520 possibly have thought it would be a good idea to post that? After all, a lot of these groups hire
00:00:24.300 social media managers whose only job is to write half-decent tweets and ensure that you
00:00:29.640 don't get ruthlessly mocked online. Yet somehow these groups, including the Prime Minister,
00:00:34.600 continue to post the most absurd, embarrassing tweets. You just can't understand how someone
00:00:39.100 could have thought that would be a good idea. Well, someone on Justin Trudeau's social media
00:00:42.920 team thought that posting this insane video after this really bad year in Canada would have been a
00:00:49.080 good idea. Truly incredible. Now, we're going to read some of what you guys had to say in the comments
00:00:53.760 of this video, and we're not going to be able to read all of them because there's over 30,000 of
00:00:58.200 them. So, you know, we've been doing this for a few years. So we've narrowed it down just a little
00:01:01.960 bit for you guys. Also, this isn't the first time that Justin Trudeau or his cabinet ministers
00:01:06.440 have posted videos like this. These weird, cringeworthy, selfie-style videos to try and,
00:01:12.220 I don't know, relate to the Canadian public. Someone on his team seems to really think this is a good
00:01:16.580 idea. It's not. And the comment question for the episode is this. If you could sit down with
00:01:22.200 Justin Trudeau face-to-face and you could ask him one question, what would it be? Drop a like on the video,
00:01:26.940 help us out by subscribing to the True North YouTube channel, and let's get into it.
00:01:30.240 Okay, gather around, team. I have the best idea for Justin's end-of-year post. After a great 2022,
00:01:36.640 after freezing Canadians' bank accounts, after invoking the Emergencies Act, after bringing in
00:01:40.820 the horses on the protest, after a year of trying to center the internet, after a year of planning to
00:01:45.120 ban hunting rifles from Canadians, and after a year of implementing a sweeping euthanasia regime in this
00:01:50.820 country, I know exactly what we need to do to have better outreach with Justin's supporters on Twitter.
00:01:57.540 We need to ask them what questions they have for Justin. Is he going to answer the questions? Of
00:02:02.820 course not. He doesn't answer any questions. We should see what Canadians have to say to Justin
00:02:06.700 after such a great year. Sound like a good idea, guys? Someone on Justin Trudeau's team really thought
00:02:12.420 that this was a good idea. Hey, everyone. As we approach the end of the year, I've been doing a
00:02:17.340 lot of interviews with TV stations, with newspapers, with radio stations, and they've had a lot of great
00:02:24.040 questions, but I know you do too. So let's hear them. Well, he asked for your questions, and he received
00:02:30.420 30,000 of them on Twitter. So safe to say he's got his work cut out for the Christmas season, or as he
00:02:37.100 would say, holiday season. Now, should we read a few of the best comments? Should we read a few of the
00:02:41.320 ones that got the most likes? Because, as you can imagine, people jumped on this pretty fast and
00:02:46.820 just laid into Trudeau. How could they not, right? After such a great year, how could you not just,
00:02:52.200 you know, give them your two cents as to how you feel Canada is headed? Like this comment right here
00:02:57.080 from journalist Savannah Hernandez. Short and sweet, nice and simple. Why are you such a tyrant? Or how
00:03:03.920 about this Twitter user who's asking a question that not enough journalists are asking a prime minister?
00:03:08.080 Why won't you tell the truth about the Winnipeg lab? Oh yeah, that virology lab in Winnipeg that
00:03:13.180 had those two Chinese communist collaborators working inside of it. Hmm, those are some
00:03:18.880 interesting questions. Almost like the Canadian public have better questions for the prime minister
00:03:23.340 than the parliamentary press. Who could have possibly guessed? This person comments with a bit
00:03:28.120 of skepticism as to whether or not the prime minister is really going to answer his question.
00:03:32.840 I think it's pretty safe to say that he's not going to. You haven't answered a question in seven
00:03:38.040 years. Why start now? This comment is great. Where can I get one of these? Yeah, I don't think you
00:03:44.660 want to be seen in public wearing one of those. Then again, I bet you're probably not one of those
00:03:48.700 to wear a mask in general, let alone a mask with a see-through opening so people can see your smile
00:03:55.360 beyond cringe, really beyond description. Asking the real tough questions here, who's your daddy?
00:04:01.440 And this comment I love, just absolutely hilarious. I understand it's snowing in Ottawa today. Would
00:04:06.920 you please go for a walk in the snow, please? Now for those of you that don't get it, that is in
00:04:10.980 reference to Pierre Trudeau's resignation when he told the press that he came to the realization it
00:04:16.440 was time for him to step down as prime minister after a long walk in the snow one night in Ottawa.
00:04:22.580 Now this is a good comment from Luke Rudkowski, who is a part of the Tim Pool podcast team.
00:04:28.260 What gives you the moral authority to steal people's bank accounts for criticizing you?
00:04:33.240 Great questions. I mean, all of these are really great questions. It's just a shame we'll never get
00:04:36.740 a response from the prime minister. All of this begs the question too. Again, it goes back to the
00:04:41.260 point of why would you post a video in the first place? You're just gonna get absolutely destroyed
00:04:46.380 on Twitter. You're never gonna respond to these questions. None of them are even remotely possible
00:04:51.240 to respond to if you have an ounce of political dignity left. Why would you post this video? What
00:04:55.740 possible incentive could there be to post this video? I mean, are you just trying to, you know,
00:05:01.900 see really how much Canadians hate you? It doesn't make any sense to me. It's really a bizarre thing
00:05:08.720 to do. Now all the over 30,000 people that commented on this post, were there a couple that commented on
00:05:13.360 the dental care commitment of Justin Trudeau's government? Were there a couple people there that
00:05:17.440 commented on the biodiversity commitments of Justin Trudeau? Perhaps. But were over 90% of the comments
00:05:23.360 just absolutely slamming him for the truly incredible year he's had? What do you guys think?
00:05:28.640 Of course we're not done there. You're banning a lot of firearms. What you planning? Who could guess
00:05:32.880 what a government would do after banning all the firearms, banning hunting rifles, after disarming
00:05:37.580 the population? No, it's not like there are any examples in history for us to look at. Kian Bexie
00:05:41.920 at the Counter Signal asked Justin Trudeau a question, which again would never be asked by the
00:05:46.240 parliamentary press gallery. I wonder why that would be. He asked, what has caused your net worth to
00:05:50.780 explode over the course of the pandemic? Now that question completely ratioed the Prime Minister.
00:05:56.060 The Prime Minister's video has 9,875 likes at the time of this recording. Kian's question to Justin
00:06:02.880 Trudeau has over 18,000 likes. I think Canadians approve of such a question and might be interested
00:06:08.660 to hear what the Prime Minister has to say. If only someone in the opposition benches, or if only a
00:06:14.280 parliamentary press gallery journalist with access to the Prime Minister would ask such a question.
00:06:19.340 Now the great Viva Fry took Justin Trudeau's request for questions a little seriously. If you go into
00:06:25.280 Justin Trudeau's comment section here, you'll see about 10 questions from Viva Fry alone, each of them
00:06:30.540 getting over 5,000 likes easily. This one that got over 14,000 likes was really on point.
00:06:36.200 Do you not think it is morally unacceptable to be giving billions of dollars to Ukraine while not
00:06:40.660 having enough money to properly care for sick Canadians who then, out of despair, turn to
00:06:45.400 government assisted death as opposed to life? Another great question from Viva Fry.
00:06:49.340 The overwhelming majority of gun crime in Canada is committed with black market handguns. How does
00:06:54.240 banning lawfully procured firearms, especially rifles, from law-abiding Canadians make anyone safer
00:06:59.180 or even begin to remedy the actual underlying problem? Well, that's not really what they're going
00:07:04.440 for, is it? Another ratio tweet with 10,500 likes.
00:07:08.180 You violently suppressed the most peaceful protest Canada, if not the world, had ever seen.
00:07:13.480 Assaulted protesters, froze bank accounts with no due process. Do you think Russia or Iran take
00:07:18.520 you seriously when you criticize them for being tyrannical regimes? Justin Trudeau violently
00:07:22.880 suppressing a peaceful protest? What are you talking about, Viva? I don't know what you're talking about
00:07:27.040 at all. Now, one Environment Canada bureaucrat, bless her, didn't really get the theme of the
00:07:31.820 comment section. She thought this was a place to ask softball, underhanded questions like they do
00:07:36.040 at press conferences, when in reality, the comment section just descended into total chaos.
00:07:40.860 Completely oblivious to the questions around her, she posted this.
00:07:44.980 What is your early morning routine? Do you get to read the early newspapers with your wife?
00:07:49.420 Chat with your family before the day starts? Or do you simply hit the road running?
00:07:52.980 To Claire Martin at Environment Canada, I just came across a job posting for a staff writer position
00:07:58.040 at the CBC. It has her name written all over it with questions to the Prime Minister like that.
00:08:03.160 And when you get to the CBC, just ask David Cochran about the poutines you get for asking
00:08:07.140 questions like this to the Prime Minister. He knows all about it. But seriously, something is wrong with
00:08:11.540 these Liberal Cabinet Ministers and their social media strategies. Someone needs to tell them that
00:08:16.620 these strange selfie-style, relate-to-the-Canadian-public videos are really not working. They don't make you
00:08:24.280 look relatable. They make you look ridiculous. Not only did former convict and current Climate
00:08:29.780 Change and Environment Minister, Stephen Gilbeau, release this insanely cringe Trudeau-like selfie-style
00:08:35.960 video last week.
00:08:38.440 Hi everyone, I'm at COP15. We just received what might be the final proposal. The team and I are
00:08:44.760 looking at it. It's looking good. There's still some work to do, but we're getting there. We're in
00:08:49.080 the last miles and I think very soon we'll have very good news for you.
00:08:52.200 He also, no kidding, pretended to be a reporter, pretending to do some sort of stand-up report
00:08:58.920 at the COP15 summit as a Minister of the Crown, as a Cabinet Minister. He was LARPing as a journalist
00:09:05.240 at his own Climate Change Summit in Canada. Now if that doesn't sound cringe enough, just watch part
00:09:10.840 of the video with the really slick video editing. I'm here at COP15 where Canada's hosting the world
00:09:16.640 in Montreal. 195 countries are here and we're working together to halt and reverse biodiversity
00:09:23.360 loss and protect 30% of lands and waters around the world by 2030. With a million species under
00:09:30.160 threat of extinction worldwide and the unprecedented loss of biodiversity, we must all do more.
00:09:36.480 The cringe doesn't stop there. As many of you will know, Omar Al-Gabra, the king of the ratio,
00:09:41.280 he is very adept at releasing awful social media videos like this one. He thought Canadians were
00:09:47.200 really eager for a return of mean tweets read by Omar, of which we all know he receives quite a lot of.
00:09:54.160 Given the latest discussion about the future of Twitter and the uncertainty that Twitter has,
00:09:58.960 I thought maybe I'd bring back a new edition of Mean Tweets. Katie says, who dresses this clown?
00:10:06.720 Katie, when I took clown school, they had a few classes to help us figure out how to dress, but thanks.
00:10:14.080 Remember this gem from back in October with Trudeau acting all weird and Chrystia Freeland
00:10:18.400 banging her head like she's in the mosh pit of a male concert?
00:10:22.080 Hey everyone, Chrystia and I were just in a meeting when we heard the good news
00:10:26.000 that our bill to double the GST tax credit for 11 million households across this country
00:10:31.120 over the next six months has just passed royal assent. This is great news for families. It's going
00:10:36.560 to be real help this fall. Justin Trudeau's brilliant social media strategy has also been an export
00:10:41.760 as well. The geniuses who run Rishi Sunak's online persona over at 10 Downing Street released this
00:10:49.440 absolute beauty as well. In this embarrassing video you have Justin Trudeau and Rishi Sunak
00:10:55.040 supposedly talking to Vladimir Zelensky on the other end. However, in the video you don't get
00:11:00.080 to hear from Zelensky and the video is edited in a way that makes it seem as though the two
00:11:04.560 can't string a sentence together.
00:11:05.600 Prime Minister Trudeau, Prime Minister Sunak, President Zelensky, please go ahead, you're online.
00:11:10.960 Hello Vladimir, it's Rishi and Justin. I really wanted you to hear from us as friends.
00:11:16.880 We absolutely know how difficult yesterday was. It was horrific for you and your country and
00:11:23.520 we have called it out in the session that we've just had and on the media here this morning and
00:11:30.320 we made that point loud and clear. The real question from all of this should be why can't
00:11:35.200 these people just act normal on social media? All right, that's going to do it for us this week
00:11:39.840 on the show. Thank you so much for tuning in. My name is Harrison Faulkner and this is Rishi.
00:11:44.400 We'll see you in the next one.
00:11:50.720 Bye.
