Juno News - Justin Trudeau likes to look at himself...a lot

00:00:00.000 Welcome, everyone, to Ratioed. My name is Harrison Faulkner. Earlier this week,

00:00:11.880 legacy media confirmed to the rest of Canada what you and I have known for many years, and that is,

00:00:16.980 of course, that our Prime Minister loves to look at himself and that he is a narcissist. Then we

00:00:22.080 move on to the CBC, who aired a segment on CBC television highlighting a group of black activists

00:00:28.320 burning books on Emancipation Day. Were they critical of this action? Did they have any

00:00:33.180 opposing voices to the book burning? No, of course not. It's the CBC. Then we move on to a group of

00:00:38.580 UK climate activists who have a brilliant new strategy to save the planet. What they're doing

00:00:43.740 is they're going around Canadian cities and slashing SUV tires. Now, you might be saying to yourself,

00:00:49.740 well, of course, wouldn't that just create more rubber? Wouldn't SUV drivers get new tires and

00:00:54.420 continue to drive? No, no, of course. The vandalism is what matters to these UK climate activists.

00:00:59.940 And we wrap up the show this week to give the Ratio of the Week award to the BCNDP. Yes,

00:01:05.160 the British Columbia New Democrat Party, the governing party of British Columbia. They are

00:01:09.860 very happy and very proud of their work at promoting and funding gender-affirming surgeries

00:01:16.220 with your tax dollars. Now, if you're in British Columbia, you better be happy about this because

00:01:19.820 your government clearly is. Now, if you like True North and you like Ratio and you want to help us

00:01:24.320 out, we really could use it. Give this video a like and share it. That's the best way we can ensure

00:01:29.660 that this video is going to be seen by more people. We are not the legacy media. We do not get money from

00:01:34.660 Justin Trudeau's slush fund and we certainly don't get any help from YouTube and the rest of the big

00:01:39.880 tech social media companies. So if you like us and you want to help us, give this video a like and a

00:01:45.100 share. All right, let's get into it. So did you guys happen to see that hilarious Canadian press

00:01:48.960 article from earlier this week? It wasn't much of a surprise to me as I'm sure it wasn't that much

00:01:53.120 of a surprise to you. It was more just of a confirmation of what I had already known about

00:01:56.980 our prime minister. That, of course, he is a narcissist. That, of course, he loves to look 0.71

00:02:01.260 at himself. Well, it turns out that world leaders have cracked the prime minister's code. They know

00:02:06.180 the way to Justin Trudeau's heart and they are gifting him several times. Apparently, they gift him

00:02:12.180 pictures of himself. You just can't make it up. It's straight out of, of course, a Babylon Bee

00:02:19.460 article. It's brilliant, but it's true. This is written in a Canadian press article, which means,

00:02:23.460 of course, it was publicized across the legacy media. All the Trudeau slush fund recipients ran

00:02:30.020 the story, which admittedly doesn't make the prime minister look very good, but it was surprised to see

00:02:34.140 stories like this appearing in the Toronto Star and CTV News. But nonetheless, this was the headline on

00:02:38.960 CTV News. Prime Minister Trudeau is routinely offered portraits of himself as gifts. Amazing.

00:02:46.560 Amazing. And the Toronto Star ran with the headline, records show Trudeau is routinely offered portraits

00:02:51.240 of himself as gifts. So the story hilariously starts with this paragraph. Prime Minister Justin

00:02:57.800 Trudeau has been offered the gift of his own likeness some 17 times since becoming prime minister,

00:03:04.100 including once by the president of China. Yes, the Chinese dictator Xi Jinping. Of course,

00:03:08.960 course. And then it goes on to say the portraits, along with a myriad of vases and wine bottles

00:03:13.760 and Star Wars paraphernalia, because, of course, our prime minister not only is a narcissist who

00:03:18.220 loves to look at himself, he's also a Star Wars nerd, held befitting of a world leader. Not to

00:03:24.400 disparage any of you Star Wars nerds, I wouldn't want to be in the same company as Trudeau myself.

00:03:28.280 So the story does go on to then say that he does have to forfeit some of the gifts he's given,

00:03:33.080 including three of those portraits. So Trudeau only has 14 of the 17 portraits he's been given by a

00:03:38.700 world leaders. What could he possibly, I mean, how could he possibly survive with only 14 portraits

00:03:43.660 of himself? I'm starting to feel bad for the guy, quite honestly. So for those of you that don't

00:03:48.080 know, apparently handing out gifts between world leaders is a common thing. It's done at almost

00:03:53.300 all diplomatic stops for world leaders. So as you can imagine, you know, when Xi Jinping gives

00:03:59.520 Justin Trudeau a portrait of himself, maybe Justin Trudeau hands over some Cuban cigars or something else

00:04:05.540 from his personal heritage. So believe it or not, the legacy media that reported this story about

00:04:10.380 Justin Trudeau receiving gifts of himself from world leaders, they actually did some digging, they

00:04:16.380 actually did some actual reporting on this, and they found some interesting things that might, you know,

00:04:21.620 give us some insight into Justin Trudeau's character. So of course we know he loves to look at himself,

00:04:26.140 he loves pictures of himself. But Trudeau kept certain gifts. Apparently there's a rule that if the gift is

00:04:32.540 over $1,000 in value, he has to forfeit the gift or give it back to Canada. Or if he wants to keep it,

00:04:39.460 he has to pay for it himself. So he has to reimburse, I guess, the government, the taxpayer,

00:04:43.480 to keep that gift. He's kept a few gifts, it turns out. Two of the gifts he's kept happened to be from

00:04:50.760 the Chinese Premier Li Keqiang. So the first gift that Trudeau kept from Premier Li Keqiang was a Chinese

00:04:59.400 e-bike. It turns out he doesn't really keep a lot of gifts, which makes it kind of weird that he

00:05:03.440 decided of all things to keep would be a Chinese e-bike. He must have really liked that e-bike,

00:05:08.140 but he's got that in his garage somewhere at the Rideau Cottage, chilling around, this fancy Chinese 0.99

00:05:14.600 e-bike from Li Keqiang. Maybe the reason why Justin Trudeau kept that Chinese e-bike is because it's

00:05:19.320 shiny enough that when he's riding it, he can look down and see his reflection. Even more interesting,

00:05:24.400 in 2017, he kept a Huawei Mate 10 Pro Android phone. This was a gift from Li. The Chinese Premier

00:05:35.020 gave Justin Trudeau a Huawei cell phone, and it appears as though he kept the gift. So Trudeau,

00:05:42.740 who actually banned Huawei a couple months ago, back in 2017, kept a gift of a Huawei smartphone.

00:05:50.340 Why would Trudeau want to keep a Huawei Android smartphone? Very bizarre, but then again, very

00:05:58.180 Trudeau of Justin Trudeau. Now, it wasn't just a legacy media that did real reporting. True North,

00:06:04.340 through vigorous reporting, our endless pursuit of the truth, we have obtained exclusive images of

00:06:11.400 these gifts, of these portraits from world leaders to Justin Trudeau. This first one was a gift from

00:06:17.160 Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Justin Trudeau. As you can see here, this is the photo

00:06:21.940 that Narendra Modi handed Justin Trudeau, the portrait of himself. Really, this is Justin Trudeau

00:06:27.220 in his younger days, really displaying what India-Canada relations means to Trudeau. So great,

00:06:35.120 there's a great photo there. Again, don't ask us how we obtain these photos. Those are the tricks

00:06:39.080 to the trade. Our investigative journalists will keep the secrets locked up tight.

00:06:43.640 The second gift was given to Justin Trudeau on his most recent trip to Rwanda. This is from Rwandan

00:06:50.180 President Paul Kagame. And again, we obtained this through our vigorous search for truth. This

00:06:56.860 is the portrait Rwandan President Paul Kagame gave to Justin Trudeau on his latest visit. Again,

00:07:02.240 a younger Justin Trudeau really symbolizing the bond, the growing bond that exists between Justin

00:07:08.380 Trudeau and the people of Rwanda. So there it is, guys. Great stuff from the True North team on

00:07:12.700 that reporting. So because it's a Canadian press article and the Legacy Media published this on

00:07:16.700 all their different social media feeds, we wanted to go through and pick some of the best comments

00:07:20.660 from you guys on what you had to say about this ridiculous story. So we start off with this person.

00:07:26.880 He should share them with Canadians in the form of murals throughout the country.

00:07:30.980 Amazing. Just amazing. This person writes,

00:07:33.280 but he's not narcissistic. So it's totally fine. Totally okay. Yes, of course.

00:07:37.480 Justin Trudeau is definitely not a narcissist. And this person comments on the global story.

00:07:42.620 Once again, very North Korea-esque. Yes, very North Korea-esque indeed. But we have seen that 0.80

00:07:48.320 not only from the Prime Minister, but from the Legacy Media, if you recall, a few weeks ago on the

00:07:52.560 program. And then this person also responds to the global story and writes, not really newsworthy,

00:07:57.160 but believable. Anything that feeds JT's ego. You would not want to damage that very fragile ego

00:08:02.660 of Justin Trudeau. What a shame that would be. So Monday was Emancipation Day for us all in Canada.

00:08:08.040 That's why we had the long weekend. It's a new holiday for us. And it marks the ending of slavery

00:08:11.880 in the British Empire back in 1834. CBC television aired a segment of a group of black activists in

00:08:18.720 Guelph, Ontario, holding a backyard book burning and artifact destroying party or celebration.

00:08:25.140 And it was a very interesting television segment. They kind of glossed over the fact that this group

00:08:31.560 was burning books openly in public, not having any issue with it at all. So you'll see in this

00:08:37.400 following video that these activists are destroying and smashing figurines and other, you know, sort of

00:08:44.400 garden related items that are obviously in poor taste and racist. And then they are also burning

00:08:49.940 pictures of blackface performances in Guelph or in Ontario. And then near the end, they start showing

00:08:56.320 them burning books, ripping pages out and burning books. Funny enough, the CBC doesn't spend much time

00:09:02.420 showing us what books they're burning or why they're burning those books. And of course, there's no

00:09:08.100 criticism at all of any of these book burnings. In fact, what they do is they find people at this event

00:09:13.920 who say, actually, you know, I wasn't really comfortable with burning books. But after watching

00:09:18.000 it and learning and understanding why they're burning books, it's totally right for me. And I

00:09:21.880 want to burn books, too. You can't make it up. You got to watch this video. We'll come back to some of

00:09:26.260 your responses after.

00:09:28.040 A Valentine's Day card, a cookie jar, children's books, statues. 0.98

00:09:32.220 This is blackface imagery and black minstrel. And to think that this image itself was someone 0.96

00:09:38.180 in Guelph, and this happened in our city. What links them all is the trauma they caused

00:09:43.500 the black community. It was really painful to take hold some of these imageries and think

00:09:48.160 that these were my, how my ancestors are depicted. Now at an afternoon celebration of Emancipation

00:09:53.500 Day, between moments of song and poetry, a powerful moment of healing.

00:09:58.220 And I feel like it should be this photo, because it needs to go. Let's get some cheers around.

00:10:05.420 The items were burned and smashed. That release felt by others in the crowd, who threw their

00:10:14.300 own pages into the fire. Anybody else want to rip? Come on and rip. It lets out anger and resentment.

00:10:20.720 That's why I went up there. The thought of it burning a book is difficult for me, but I would

00:10:26.540 like to go quietly and burn some pages now, because the things that we were taught were

00:10:33.740 so dreadful. Work they hope will be energized. There's something about a fire and a release.

00:10:39.740 Amen somebody. By moments like this one. Chris Reyes, CBC News, Guelph, Ontario.

00:10:45.740 It's all in the name of racial justice. Burning books in the name of racial justice is totally 0.97

00:10:51.740 acceptable to the CBC. They couldn't find one person who thought to themselves, hey wait a minute,

00:10:57.500 maybe this is a bit of a bad look. This awe, this great release of just burning books. Who wants to

00:11:02.780 come up here and rip a page with me? And that woman Debbie, who rightfully began by saying, 1.00

00:11:07.980 the thought of burning books is a little uncomfortable for me, as it should be. That's

00:11:12.300 not really what we do here in Canada. We're not really known for book burning in this country.

00:11:17.420 But then she said, actually, when I was here, I wanted to go quietly and burn some pages myself,

00:11:22.940 burn some books myself. You know, I've got to say, I have a pretty low bar for the CBC when it comes to

00:11:27.660 journalism, when it comes to being honest with Canadians. But I got to say, they didn't even come 1.00

00:11:33.580 close to the bar here. They couldn't find one person to say, hey, you know, wait a minute,

00:11:37.980 I think, you know, book burning is probably not the best idea. Doing what we know the very worst

00:11:43.020 regimes in the world have done to erase history is probably not the best way to advance racial 0.52

00:11:48.220 justice. The worst part about this to me, besides the actual burning of books and the excusing of

00:11:52.540 that as though it's some sort of acceptable form of activism these days, the worst part about this for

00:11:57.660 me is that even if the CBC wanted to find an opposing voice to burning books, which they

00:12:03.580 obviously didn't, but if they did, they wouldn't, they wouldn't even have had to have gone very far.

00:12:07.500 They could have gone to their own reporter, Daniel Schwartz, who in 2010 wrote a whole story

00:12:12.700 criticizing regimes from around the world and from history that have burned books. So this story

00:12:18.220 that Daniel Schwartz wrote back in 2010 chronicles 2,200 years of book burning from governments,

00:12:23.980 from individuals and from religious leaders. So again, in 2010, burning books was bad. Probably

00:12:31.180 in 2019 and 2020, burning books was bad, but we're living in new times, guys. If the cause is right,

00:12:37.580 if the activism is right, it doesn't matter what they do. If the cause is accepted by the majority

00:12:43.740 of journalists in the CBC newsroom, if it fits their narrative, then it's not a problem. It's not,

00:12:50.060 it's not this big, horrible issue that we all used to look at as the very worst actions of some of the

00:12:55.260 very worst governments. You see, if it advances, quote unquote, racial justice, burning books is

00:13:01.580 totally fine. Erasing history is totally fine. But as soon as it ventures or veers into a territory

00:13:06.780 that might not be accepted by leftists occupying the newsrooms of Canada, then all of a sudden,

00:13:11.660 of course, there's a big issue. Well, thanks to John Kaye over at Corlett, who posted this video to

00:13:16.860 Twitter to give the audience, give you guys an opportunity to voice your thoughts about this.

00:13:22.460 We found some of your responses and we want to highlight some of them here. So one comment we

00:13:26.860 wanted to highlight from this tweet was from someone on the left, actually, who raises a really great

00:13:32.620 point. This person writes, this is really horrible. We on the left lose a major talking point when we

00:13:37.500 condemn right wing censorship of books, when we condone book burning, of course, because when we see

00:13:42.780 conservative governors in the United States advancing legislation that the left really dislikes, the

00:13:47.980 left immediately starts talking about how the right are censoring us, the right are banning books in

00:13:53.340 schools, all of that. So they're okay with using the book burning and censorship line against conservatives.

00:14:00.860 But where is the CBC when they openly promote the burning of books in the name of racial justice?

00:14:06.780 That's a great point from a leftist, something I don't often say, but when it is warranted,

00:14:12.060 I will say it. This next comment is a bit more on point. And this person writes, we don't use the

00:14:17.420 phrase book burning when it's good people burning bad books. Exactly. Like I said, when it's the right

00:14:22.620 people for the right cause, then all of a sudden it's activism. When it's the wrong people for the

00:14:27.980 wrong cause, it's the very worst accusations of censorship. And finally, this person writes,

00:14:33.580 just keeping toasty in August. It's exactly, actually, they're just trying to stay warm in that

00:14:37.740 August sun. So a group of British climate activists have come up with a new strategy to save us all

00:14:43.420 from the warming planet. Yes. The, the people that tell us the planet is going to end in a few years,

00:14:49.820 that sort of never ending behind that never ending corner somewhere looms, the dangerous

00:14:55.180 boogeyman of climate change. So to save us all, what they are doing is they are slashing the tires of

00:15:01.020 SUVs. So yes, if you're driving an SUV in British Columbia, now in Victoria, you better watch out.

00:15:07.180 So this group call themselves the tire extinguishers, very creative group. Only,

00:15:12.540 only radical climate activists could come up with as creative a name as a tire extinguishers for their

00:15:17.820 uh, little petty crimes group. They have landed in Canada and they are taking direct action as they

00:15:23.580 say on Canadian SUVs. This group claimed responsibility for deflating 34 tires in Victoria,

00:15:31.260 all in the name of climate change. So crimes committed in the name of climate change? No problem,

00:15:35.980 of course. Book burning in the name of racial justice? No problem, of course. You see how this

00:15:40.700 is all kind of shaping up? Anyway, this group called the tire extinguishers were very proud of their work.

00:15:46.060 They wrote on Twitter, busy night last night, 34 SUVs disarmed in Victoria, British Columbia.

00:15:53.660 Disarmed, like what? There's some sort of weapon? Oh, let me disarm this SUV only for the driver to go,

00:15:59.580 pick up new tires, throw the dead rubber into the trash, put that rubber into the atmosphere,

00:16:04.780 and keep driving my SUV. You guys are really, really rocking it on the climate change stuff.

00:16:10.060 Nice work to, uh, these, uh, these Brits. Debut action for the tire extinguishers of Victoria as they 0.63

00:16:16.780 take action across the Ontario Capital Region. Interesting here. Something tells me that these

00:16:23.500 Brits don't know their Canadian geography very well. The tire extinguishers of Victoria taking action

00:16:29.900 across the Ontario Capital Region? Interesting. I don't think that really adds up, folks, but they did

00:16:36.140 get the part right about them being in Victoria, British Columbia, and then they finish off their

00:16:39.900 tweet by saying, actions now happening in both the east and west of Canada. Interesting stuff to say

00:16:46.380 the least. Now, here's where this story gets a little weird. So I'm not going to go out and say

00:16:51.500 this is fake news right away because it turns out the Victoria police have responded to this. They are

00:16:56.780 on to this story and they're, I guess, running some sort of investigation. Probably nothing will happen,

00:17:01.020 though, because they're climate activists. What's very interesting about this, however,

00:17:05.100 is that the images the tire extinguishers of the UK have used in their, you know, in their stories

00:17:13.820 happen to be of cars on the left-hand side of the road, which doesn't seem very Canadian if you ask me,

00:17:22.140 does it now? Interesting. This person is disarming a vehicle parked on the left side of the road.

00:17:29.980 And then this next photo of a Mercedes-Benz also happens to be parked on the left side of the road.

00:17:37.340 Did they wonder if any of us Canadians might catch this? Huh. Now, they're obviously not the

00:17:42.460 smartest people in the world, but I don't think anyone is making that accusation about them at all.

00:17:46.940 But of course, they got brutally ratioed on the show. It's not the ratio of the week, I will say.

00:17:51.660 The tire extinguishers are not winners this week, although they certainly could be. But we did,

00:17:55.340 however, get some hilarious comments on this tweet. I want to highlight some of them for you.

00:18:00.060 This person writes, I was considering an EV, but I think your argument has swayed me to get a GMC Yukon.

00:18:04.940 Bigger the better. Couldn't agree more to that. Brilliant stuff. This person writes,

00:18:10.140 had a huge flat deck tow truck come grab my heavy truck. He sat there idling for probably 30 minutes,

00:18:15.820 loaded me up, drove me to my mechanic, bought one new tire, filled up my other three, and off I went.

00:18:20.940 Congrats. You guys just polluted more than my truck does. You didn't think these tire extinguishers,

00:18:26.060 these highly educated Oxford upper-class activists were really thinking through the fact that they

00:18:32.700 probably create more pollution. The fact that all they're doing is just putting more rubber

00:18:37.100 into our garbage dumps. The fact that they're just causing tow trucks to drive to pick up these SUVs.

00:18:42.380 It's not about helping the environment anymore, doing anything positive for the environment.

00:18:46.300 It's all about the amount of virtue signaling points you can score by being a part of these

00:18:50.940 movements. So we wrap up the show with the ratio of the week award, and this week it is going to

00:18:55.580 the BC NDP, the governing party of British Columbia. Yes, they put out on Twitter earlier this week,

00:19:01.660 and let me just start by saying this is, they're clearly very proud people, and I don't think

00:19:05.740 anyone would get that wrong about the NDP when looking at this tweet. So clearly they are

00:19:10.860 very pro-LGBTLMNOP. They're very proud people. You know, they've still got the Pride logo in their

00:19:18.940 Twitter logo there. They've got the Pride flag in the background of this tweet, which reads,

00:19:23.660 BC NDP proud all year, just in case anyone was mistaken. So the tweet starts with them just confirming

00:19:30.940 for all British Columbians and Canadians how proud they are for funding gender-affirming surgeries.

00:19:37.580 Yes, for funding, promoting, and supporting gender-affirming surgeries. That's when people

00:19:42.940 using your tax dollars undergo surgeries where they mutilate body parts of young children, all in

00:19:48.300 the name of being inclusive to the trans community. Aren't you proud about that too? Clearly the BC NDP

00:19:54.700 government are very proud about that. They also say that also by bringing back the Human Rights

00:20:00.140 Commission, the BC NDP team is making life in BC better and more inclusive, no matter who you are

00:20:07.180 or who you love. And they write, hashtag van pride, hashtag together again, hashtag love is love. How

00:20:15.180 absolutely awful is that? By the time we're filming this, this tweet has over 260 comments and only 100

00:20:22.700 likes. Pretty bad comment to like ratio there. Worthy of the award, certainly worthy of the award. We're

00:20:27.980 not handing out participation prizes on this show. Well, the BC NDP team probably does that. We're not

00:20:32.620 handing out participation prizes. If you are worthy of the award and you are the rightful winner, you will

00:20:36.860 win. And you certainly take home the award this week, BC NDP. We want to highlight some of your

00:20:42.700 comments because unbelievably, I really can't believe it. It turns out British Columbians and

00:20:47.420 Canadians aren't best pleased about their taxpayer funds going to gender affirming surgeries. Again,

00:20:53.580 that's just mutilating body parts for people who are suffering from mental illnesses. Turns out 0.88

00:20:59.020 not all of you are jazzed about this. We have some of your comments and want to read some of them on the

00:21:02.380 show. This person writes in the past, I have voted for the NDP because they represented the working

00:21:07.100 class. The party that will stand up for workers will get my vote, not this pandering mob. Such a

00:21:12.380 great point. And you'll find actually a lot of the comments under this tweet are from NDP voters,

00:21:17.740 former NDP voters or current NDP voters. Certainly they won't be voting for the NDP anymore.

00:21:23.260 They're obviously done with this. And I think what we're seeing actually here, and it's worth raising,

00:21:27.340 a shift in the narrative here. I don't think that the classic NDP voter, the person who's attracted

00:21:34.940 to the NDP because they are the working class party, is along for the ride with this wild gender 1.00

00:21:40.380 ideology stuff. The NDP, the liberals, these left wing parties are going to lose part of their base

00:21:47.020 the further they go down this gender ideology rabbit hole. And I think that's obviously what's 1.00

00:21:51.100 happening here. This person writes, I appreciate the reminder why the BC NDP is a dumpster 0.97

00:21:56.220 fire of a political party. Yes. As if we needed the reminder, but certainly we'll take one when we 0.88

00:22:00.940 get one. And this is certainly that this person writes chemical castration and general mutilation

00:22:06.460 of kids is still barbaric. No matter how you phrase it again, this is just wild stuff. We've reached a

00:22:12.860 point where the governing party of the British Columbia is so comfortable with this that they're

00:22:18.140 willing to put it out there on social media. And I hope that this backfires hard on the BC NDP.

00:22:24.300 They certainly deserve it. That's going to do it for us this week on the show.

00:22:27.500 Thank you so much for watching. My name is Harrison Faulkner and this is ratio.
