Juno News - I just EXPOSED Toronto's insane ＂harm reduction＂ strategy

00:00:00.080 What does it look like when a society gives up on its most vulnerable population? Perhaps it's

00:00:12.160 when the government is proudly trying to expand its euthanasia regime to include the mentally ill

00:00:16.720 and the homeless. Or perhaps it's when hundreds of thousands of children have to rely on food

00:00:21.200 banks just to stay alive. Or perhaps it looks something like this. The city of Toronto is now

00:00:26.320 handing out free taxpayer funded neatly packaged crystal meth pipes, crack pipes and drug starter

00:00:34.240 kits to anyone who wants them. Now these drug starter kits and crystal meth pipes have the city

00:00:39.840 of Toronto branding proudly displayed on them for these addicts to see along with a cell phone number

00:00:45.920 to call not to receive treatment but to receive more of course. Now all of this is part of the

00:00:51.040 city of Toronto's broader harm reduction and safe supply strategy. The idea that providing addicts

00:00:57.840 a stronger heroin alternative along with city of Toronto branded crack pipes to smoke their drugs

00:01:04.800 is somehow going to reduce harm and actually solve addictions. The truth is the data is available for

00:01:11.120 anyone to see. These strategies have been a disaster. Since 2016 opioid deaths have taken over 30 000

00:01:19.840 Canadian lives. But as long as we trust the federal government, as long as we trust the city of

00:01:24.880 Toronto and city of Vancouver, all of this is eventually going to work. We're just not giving

00:01:29.280 it enough time yet. You see, all of this safe supply strategy, although it's been a abject failure,

00:01:35.280 it's just not working yet. It's going to get there eventually. That's what they want us to believe.

00:01:39.840 And watch, anyone who questions the safe supply regime enforced by the federal government and promoted by the

00:01:46.400 federal government. Well, this is how the minister responsible responds in a completely unhinged way.

00:02:06.480 Now we've got a bit of a surprise for you coming up on ratio. We're going to try and investigate this and

00:02:11.360 see what the heck is really going on here. Also, as always, stick around for the ratio of the weak

00:02:15.920 prize. Drop a like in the video. Help us out by subscribing to the True North YouTube channel.

00:02:19.920 And the comment question for the episode is this. Have we given up on the most vulnerable

00:02:25.520 people in our society? Let me know in the comments and let's get into it. It turns out that the city

00:02:30.320 of Toronto, under the guise of harm reduction and safe supply, is now in the business of handing out

00:02:36.160 free taxpayer-funded crystal meth pipes, crack pipes, and even something called a drug starter kit.

00:02:43.040 Now, if you're having trouble understanding how this actually reduces harm, well, you're not alone.

00:02:48.720 On one side, public health officials are putting up a giant green light to drug addicts, encouraging

00:02:53.680 and facilitating harmful drug use by providing them with city-branded drug starter kits and nice shiny

00:03:00.320 new crystal meth pipes. And on the other side, you have what's called safe supply, where public health

00:03:05.680 officials are providing taxpayer-funded hydromorphone, a more potent heroin alternative,

00:03:11.440 which is actually fueling a black market fentanyl trade. So on one side, the city is

00:03:17.040 facilitating drug use, and on the other side, the city is actually giving addicts drugs.

00:03:22.880 Last month, as we discussed before, a National Post investigation blew this safe supply strategy

00:03:29.120 wide open and completely exposed it for having the opposite effect of what the government tells

00:03:34.000 us it is supposed to have. As the government gives addicts hydromorphone, these addicts then take that

00:03:38.640 drug flip it on the street for a more dangerous fentanyl, which is then causing spikes in overdose

00:03:44.080 deaths. A couple days ago, the National Post followed that story up with a tragic story of a 14-year-old

00:03:49.840 girl who died from an overdose. Her father blames the safe supply regime enforced by the government, which,

00:03:56.640 as Carolyn Bennett always reminds us, saves lives. What happened was this 14-year-old girl got hooked on

00:04:03.440 hydromorphone given to her by other addicts who were receiving that drug from government depots,

00:04:09.200 and then, because of that, she was then hooked on other stronger drugs, and the rest is sadly history.

00:04:15.280 The drug crisis in British Columbia, which is where this 14-year-old girl died, is well documented and

00:04:20.880 well established. Take this video of a sprawling tent city in Kelowna, BC, as evidence that nothing is

00:04:27.600 working here. It's just getting worse. But the focus of today's show is on the city of Toronto.

00:04:33.680 Eileen Davila, the chief public health officer of the city, recently submitted a proposal to Carolyn

00:04:38.960 Bennett, the minister of addictions and mental health, and the rest of the federal government,

00:04:42.960 to seek an exemption which would allow the full decriminalization of hard drugs, any hard drugs in

00:04:48.560 the city of Toronto, of any amount at any age. So take this in. A child could walk around Yonge and Dundas

00:04:56.160 square with a brick of fentanyl, and the cops wouldn't be allowed to do anything about it.

00:05:00.960 That's what Eileen Davila and the rest of the safe supply, harm reduction drug regime want to try 1.00

00:05:07.840 and put into this city. So you know what? We're going to do something different on ratio today.

00:05:11.920 We're going to go investigate this for ourselves. I'm going to take you with me as I go down to one of

00:05:16.400 these harm reduction facilities, a building hilariously called The Works by the city of Toronto,

00:05:22.640 and see just how easy it is for someone like me to receive a free City of Toronto branded

00:05:28.640 crack pipe and drug starter kit.

00:05:31.440 Alright, so we're here at Yonge and Dundas, the heartbeat of Toronto as some people call it,

00:05:35.680 as some people say, it's where the city comes to life. But actually, if you go one block across,

00:05:42.400 well, it looks a lot like the opposite of life. It looks a lot more like death. Behind me in that

00:05:47.760 building, allegedly, I'll be allowed to receive my free crack pipe, my free crystal meth pipe,

00:05:54.720 drug kits and whatever. That's what that's what they're giving away to the city for free. So

00:05:58.720 we're going to head on inside and see what it's like. I'll try and take you with me. I'll be as

00:06:03.200 discreet as possible.

00:06:14.960 Hi. I'm here to collect my free drug pipe, my crack pipe. Can I get that here?

00:06:19.200 Uh, you can get that on the other side. The works? This is a clinic. Okay, where's the works? Over there.

00:06:25.200 This door right here? Yeah. Oh, thank you very much.

00:06:35.200 Hey, I just got to go out here to the small play that came up.

00:06:39.200 What's the purpose here? Yeah, what is here today? Well, I'm here to collect my free crack pipe,

00:06:43.280 crystal meth pipe. Okay, well, you're recording. Yeah.

00:06:46.880 Chance seems like that's not the case, so I do have to advise you that's against the policy while you're

00:06:50.560 going. Oh, okay, I won't record. Okay, dude, you gotta leave. Why? I can't, I can't record.

00:06:54.480 You gotta leave. Like I said, you gotta leave. So I'm not even, I'm not allowed to have my other

00:06:59.440 recorder. Well, you're coming in here, you're causing issues. You're not one of our clients.

00:07:03.040 No, no, no. You're trespassing now. I'm directing you to leave. I'm just here to collect my free crack

00:07:06.560 pipe, crystal meth. Can I, can I not receive? Daniel, Daniel, come here. It's okay. That's good. Come on.

00:07:14.240 All right. I'm not here to cause any services. As I stated to you, you're not supposed to be recording

00:07:18.800 in your against the policy. I'm asking you to leave now. I did advise you that when you initially came in.

00:07:24.640 So you gotta leave, man. You're not, you're not complying with the policies and regulations

00:07:28.080 and rules over here. So you gotta leave. So you're coming here trying to cause issues.

00:07:31.760 Well, I'm not here to cause any issues. I'm just here to collect my, my crack pipe. Didn't I pay for it?

00:07:37.120 Uh, do you guys, uh, are you guys refusing service?

00:07:42.720 Yes. Yep. Okay. So I need you to leave now because now you're trespassing, right?

00:07:52.400 All right. So as you can see there that they don't want anyone to actually expose what's going on.

00:07:58.000 I, I came in here trying to record what is taking place inside here. You're not allowed to record.

00:08:03.280 You're not even allowed to, you're not even allowed to voice record anyone who wants to go in there

00:08:07.680 and show people what is actually taking place. You're not allowed to do that. I guess they're

00:08:11.280 trying to hide what's taking place inside the public health building. But the truth is we've

00:08:15.360 already seen the reports inside that building. They are handing out free taxpayer funded crystal

00:08:23.040 meth pipes, crack pipes, naloxone kits, anything else. And the last thing they want is for someone

00:08:29.360 to actually show that. I don't know why after all, I thought we paid for this stuff. But as you can see

00:08:35.520 here, it's no surprise what is actually taking place around this building. It looks like death

00:08:44.720 and destruction, not treatment. And anyone who wants to actually show people what's taking place here,

00:08:51.120 well, they're not going to do that, are they? They don't want to hide. They want to hide this as much

00:08:55.360 as they can. If there's nothing to hide, then why can't I go in and show people what's going on?

00:09:02.000 Two gentlemen there, the Toronto security guards, they were very upset about that fact. They thought

00:09:07.520 that I was trying to cause a disturbance, but simply I wasn't. All I wanted to do was go in,

00:09:12.400 grab my free crack pipe, my crystal meth pipe, and be on my merry way. But no, apparently you're not

00:09:19.440 allowed to do that. And in fact, they are refusing service to certain people, perhaps certain people

00:09:24.640 that aren't there to receive crack pipes and to smoke crack, but actually to expose them. That's what 0.57

00:09:30.720 they're trying to do. So they're hiding this from a taxpayer, regardless of the outcome. Very strange,

00:09:36.960 but there you go. I guess that's what the city is trying to do. They're trying to hide what's

00:09:40.320 taking place inside because they don't want anyone to see the truth of what's going on.

00:09:46.480 So here we are folks, despite their best efforts to try and stop me from showing you what's going on

00:09:51.200 inside that building, this public health building, well, here it is. It's true. This is all of the stuff

00:09:58.000 that they are giving to drug addicts. They're giving them crack pipes. They're giving them crystal

00:10:02.080 meth pipes. They're giving them drug starter kits, an entire collection of needles here. Anyone can

00:10:06.880 go in and go pick it up. Except however, if you're a journalist trying to expose this, that's the last

00:10:11.920 thing they want. They don't want anyone to actually show people what's going on inside these buildings.

00:10:16.240 But luckily, I was able to, I'm able to show you what they're providing. I'm going to actually show

00:10:20.720 you this when I get inside my car to really look at these items. It's truly insane. But this is what's

00:10:26.400 going on in Toronto. This is what is being described as so-called harm reduction. But really,

00:10:32.800 all you need to do is just work around. There is no harm reduction taking place here. It's just

00:10:38.640 perpetuating addiction. That's what the drug strategy seems to be here. All right, well, I'm back home

00:10:44.560 and I was going to record the contents of these three bags out in my car, but I decided I might as

00:10:50.400 well get back and record it with the better lighting. But let's go through what the city of Toronto

00:10:55.360 is giving addicts for free, paid for by all of us taxpayers, in the guise of harm reduction,

00:11:01.360 shall we? How about we start off with the crack pipe? There we go. Nice crack pipe for you. Where

00:11:08.080 do you think addicts are going to put these when they're done using them? You think they're going

00:11:11.520 to put them nice and conveniently in the garbage bin away from the public? Obviously not. It goes right

00:11:17.200 back onto the street. That was the crack pipe. We'll do the blue bag next. What's in the blue bag here?

00:11:21.280 You'd think they'd make it easier to actually open. Okay, here we go. Ready? Shall we take a look at

00:11:28.480 what's in the blue bag? Wow, I think this is the crystal meth kit, guys. We've got a wooden stick,

00:11:38.480 some sort of cylindrical tube here, another pipe, some cleaning swabs, and some brass screens. So quite

00:11:47.120 the intricate setup here for what I believe to be a crystal meth kit. But that being said, I don't,

00:11:53.520 I really don't even know what I'm looking at here. But let's look at this big black bag because this

00:11:57.280 one, as I can already tell from the outside, is full of needles. Full of them, not just one needle,

00:12:04.000 it's full of them. Let's see actually how many. All right, here we go. This is the black bag.

00:12:11.040 Wow, we've got a ton of stuff in here. We've got, what are these? I don't even know what these are.

00:12:18.000 A blue rubber band. And how many needles here? One, two, three, four, five. So five needles and a

00:12:29.200 bunch of sterilizing pads. Unbelievable. That's what the city is giving to drug addicts. Anyone who wants

00:12:34.960 it, you can get all of this for free. And it's all being paid for by us. And it's all neatly packaged

00:12:39.840 in bright colored packaging with even city of Toronto branding on it. The question is,

00:12:44.720 what does the city actually think is going to happen with all this drug paraphernalia?

00:12:48.960 Do they think it's going to just magically all disappear and go into the garbage? Or do they

00:12:54.080 think that addicts who are on crystal meth and crack are going to leave them out throughout the

00:12:59.040 city? Well, we already know the answer. Because all you got to do is look around the city. The city

00:13:03.280 is full of needles. No wonder why. We're giving addicts five needles a piece. There's actually

00:13:08.720 really no, there was no indication that you couldn't keep just buying, getting as much as you

00:13:12.720 wanted. So obviously, what does this create? Well, the public health officers tell us that

00:13:17.520 this creates harm reduction. You tell me what you think this creates. Because all it looks like to me

00:13:23.520 is a great way to keep your drug addiction alive. That's what the city of Toronto was doing. And no one

00:13:28.240 wants you to know about it. All right, we're back just in time to hand out the ratio of the week prize.

00:13:32.880 The winner this week, who else could it have gone to really? The Toronto Blue Jays after they forced

00:13:37.760 a hostage confession video of one of their pitchers after he dared to share an Instagram story quoting

00:13:44.080 scripture as a reason for Christians to boycott target. You're not allowed to do that in Canada

00:13:48.720 anymore as we discussed on Tuesday. And it turns out actually that the Blue Jays got brutally destroyed

00:13:54.480 on Twitter for this. Look at this response. 13.2 thousand comments to only 3,502 likes. I mean,

00:14:04.640 it's just absurd. I don't think we've ever seen that before on this show. Apparently,

00:14:08.400 this hostage style statement from Anthony Bass was not enough for the Blue Jays. General manager

00:14:13.680 John Schneider, by the way, is a terrible baseball manager, but that's just a side point, told reporters

00:14:18.640 that Bass's statement is a first step, but not enough. It's not going to be a 15 or 30 second

00:14:24.320 apology and say, okay, I did my part. There's going to be a continued work with the resources we do have

00:14:29.920 to try to show that he's understanding that he made a mistake. Will the Blue Jays be the next boycott?

00:14:35.360 Hey, at Blue Jays, super fan here. What you've done is wrong. The man had an opinion and you've

00:14:40.400 obviously convinced him to do a 180 on that opinion when the cameras start rolling. This is inauthentic,

00:14:46.160 it's manipulative, and it's un-Canadian. Viva Fry writes,

00:14:49.680 two plus two equals five. I love big brother. Humiliating. What type of employer would force

00:14:55.280 their employee to do something like this? It's truly enraging. And all around the sport of baseball,

00:15:00.560 woke ruins everything. Well put. Anthony Bass shouldn't have apologized. There's no reason to

00:15:06.160 apologize for opposing darkness. But the blame should not be on Anthony Bass. The blame should be

00:15:10.880 on Rodgers and on the Blue Jays. They have forced their employee to undergo a corporate Marxist

00:15:15.680 struggle session. A hostage confession video for daring to oppose the regime. We have completely

00:15:21.680 lost our minds here in Canada. We're giving out free drug starter kits to addicts. We're giving out

00:15:26.320 free more potent heroin alternatives. And we're also forcing Christians to apologize for their faith. 0.99

00:15:32.800 What has happened to our great country? Alright everyone, that's going to do it for

00:15:37.840 us today on the show. Thank you so much for tuning in. My name is Harrison Faulkner, and this is Ration.

00:15:50.480 We'll see you next time.

00:16:01.120 Bye bye.

00:16:03.120 Bye bye.

00:16:05.120 Bye bye.

00:16:07.120 Bye bye.

00:16:09.120 Bye bye.

00:16:11.120 Bye bye.

00:16:13.120 Bye bye.

00:16:15.120 Bye bye.
