00:00:00.000 welcome everyone to a very special edition of ratioed my name is harrison faulkner you don't

00:00:12.380 think i'd dress up this nicely for you if it weren't a special episode and that's because

00:00:15.980 we have one last order of business to take care of before we shut down ratioed for the year

00:00:20.560 and then pick it up in a few more days in the new year in 2023 what a wild ride it's been about six

00:00:26.600 months of this show i look back at the very first episode and god that was a terrible episode but

00:00:31.940 it's come a long way since then and not to say that it's any better but it certainly feels a bit

00:00:35.960 better we're going to be making some big changes heading into the new year but of course we have

00:00:39.780 one last order of business to take care of and that is to hand out the ratio of the year award

00:00:45.740 the ratio of the week award has been the long-term staple of the program since the very beginning

00:00:51.160 we've been handing out that award every single week to a deserving winner and it's not been

00:00:55.900 completely dominated by one politician or one group we've had journalists win the award we've

00:01:00.800 had a crazy professor win the award of course we've had our fair share of liberal cabinet ministers

00:01:06.220 we've had our fair share of ndp mps winning but of course we've also had some news outlets winning

00:01:12.760 we're going to take a trip down memory lane go through the inaugural winner the very first winner

00:01:17.380 of the ratio of the week award we're going to look at the returning winners the recurring winners

00:01:21.500 and of course at the very end we are going to crown the rightful winner the true winner of the

00:01:28.080 ratio of the year award stick around to find out drop a like in the video help us up with subscribing

00:01:32.540 to the true north youtube channel and the comment question for the episode is this what would you

00:01:36.800 like to see from this show ratioed in 2023 how can we make this show better let me know in the

00:01:41.700 comments what you guys think all right let's get into it so in preparing for this show i went back

00:01:45.640 to the very first episode of ratioed and i found the very first winner the inaugural winner of the

00:01:50.840 ratio of the week prize and you can never take it away from them once you win the award you're in

00:01:54.480 the history books but let's remember the very first winner of the ratio of the week award was cbc

00:01:59.800 montreal cbc montreal on twitter they have 185 000 followers they posted an article about chief

00:02:07.260 justice richard wagner better known as dick wagner and they could only get 15 likes for this tweet

00:02:13.040 they could only get 15 likes meanwhile they got 185 quote tweets and it was art it was an article

00:02:17.760 about dick wagner warning against political attacks on the judiciary didn't go down very well and for

00:02:23.340 that they were the inaugural winners you can never take that away from them truly in the history books

00:02:27.600 of the program congratulations to cbc montreal we didn't want to forget about you guys but it's time

00:02:32.500 to move on to the big winners the heavy hitters the true rightful kings and queens of the ratio okay so

00:02:39.660 we have a podium finish here for the ratio of the year award in third place we have canada's deputy

00:02:45.160 prime minister canada's finance minister christia freeland she of course took home the last ratio of

00:02:51.460 the week prize for her booster and flu shot promotion tweet that got over 22 000 replies and just

00:02:59.340 5 000 likes so so she really kind of she really finished the year off strong absolutely smashed it

00:03:06.420 on the ratio for this tweet right here but don't forget guys way back in august christia freeland

00:03:12.080 did a tour through a trucking facility and made a tweet about how you know she loves the canadian

00:03:17.760 truckers she loves canada's truckers that's going to be a recurring theme by the way in this show but

00:03:22.740 she did a tour through a trucking facility and she wrote truckers and trucking companies are essential

00:03:27.760 to our economy that's why our government has been working so hard to keep our trucking industry strong

00:03:33.040 as you can imagine she got 3 500 replies 1 000 likes uh and it's just for for something for

00:03:39.460 something so absurd like that you would at least hope she would have won the award for that week

00:03:43.760 and she certainly did she's the two-time winner but that is not enough to crack the top spot she's not 1.00

00:03:49.860 a finalist and she's definitely not the winner in second place jagmeet singh who else jagmeet singh by

00:03:55.920 the way is a three-time winner of the ratio of the week prize if it weren't for the real winner if it

00:04:00.940 weren't for the real king of the award he certainly would be the winner jagmeet singh first broke onto

00:04:05.680 the scene with this tweet from july 4th while the price of goods grows at alarming rates wages have

00:04:10.360 only increased by 3.9 percent the liberal government has failed to support everyday canadians with

00:04:14.960 immediate action yet it continues to help billionaires get even richer as they avoid paying

00:04:19.640 their taxes it's shameful it's shameful as he says while propping them up in a coalition agreement

00:04:25.240 3 000 replies only 770 likes brutal ratio there but that was just a start for jagmeet singh right

00:04:32.700 remember when jagmeet singh put out that video to talk about how he got into politics to fight for

00:04:36.640 the little guy he fought for the little guy so he wouldn't help those that caused the problems

00:04:40.640 so that's why he's in the ndp to join the liberals as a coalition leader so he got into politics to not

00:04:47.220 help the people that cause the problems only to end up propping up the people that are now causing

00:04:52.040 the problems today that's sort of ndp logic i guess for you when it comes to jagmeet singh for that

00:04:57.120 tweet in october he took home the award and he came in late in december as well with one more ratio of

00:05:03.400 the week prize he won it for saying that white supremacy misogyny and racism are contributing to

00:05:09.840 an ongoing genocide in canada that's right if you haven't realized apparently there's an ongoing 0.52

00:05:15.100 genocide in canada uh and it's being perpetrated by white supremacists misogynists and what else

00:05:21.780 oh racists as well classic jagmeet singh right there 2300 replies to 1500 likes another winner 0.96

00:05:29.780 there that was his third ratio of the week prize but like i said not enough to take the crown from

00:05:35.880 the true king and if you've been following ratioed from all along you know that we already crowned the

00:05:41.220 king of the ratio perhaps prematurely but we just felt as though who could really take the crown

00:05:46.860 from this guy omar al gabra ladies and gentlemen give it up we are going to give the ratio of the

00:05:52.760 year prize to him because because week after week month after month there was no one trying as hard

00:05:58.980 to win the award as him and so why would we take away what is rightfully his right i mean come on

00:06:05.780 since the beginning omar al gabra has been giving us ratios all over the place he's the true king of the

00:06:12.200 ratio he can ratio himself in english and french which in itself is a skill that is not mastered

00:06:18.100 by the other members of the liberal cabinet and to be honest with you we could give the ratio of the

00:06:23.540 week prize every single week to omar because every single week he got himself ratioed that's why he's

00:06:27.980 the king he also only won the prize three times so jagmeet singh and omar al gabra they're also

00:06:34.080 they're also in an exclusive club of three-time winners but come on could we give it to anybody else

00:06:39.420 really i don't think we could let's be honest way back in june omar al gabra took home his first

00:06:44.880 ratio of the week award for this tweet right here our plan is working wait times that at toronto

00:06:50.460 pearson were cut in half last week there is still more to do but we are making progress obviously if

00:06:56.580 you're paying attention to the news back in june they weren't making progress i mean wait times at

00:07:01.140 airports across the country particularly at pearson were a complete joke we were getting mocked all over

00:07:05.680 the place for it and that was actually what spurred this on because he was getting brutally destroyed

00:07:09.620 by ryan whitney of spitting chicklets that hockey podcast he was just getting grilled big time by

00:07:15.760 this guy so omar quickly tried to whip up some graphs to make him look like uh make it look like

00:07:21.320 he was doing something but he really wasn't let's just be honest he wasn't doing anything 536 replies 82

00:07:26.560 likes we got this comment in there as well speaking of progress have you been able to find the science

00:07:31.780 you're using to justify segregating canadians it's december 30th 2022 and i don't think they've found

00:07:36.720 the science yet remember this one guys back in august you know freeland was doing the same thing

00:07:41.460 they were trying to put out these videos and talk about how they they love canada's truckers guys i

00:07:47.200 know i know a few months before that we froze your bank accounts i know a few months before that we we

00:07:52.000 basically shut down your livelihoods i know a few months before that we just tried to ruin your life but

00:07:56.320 really we love truckers our government is just we we love truckers truckers keep our supply chain

00:08:01.140 strong in our economy rolling i had the chance to visit some of them in the last few months

00:08:05.260 and thank them for their important role in our transportation sector holy smokes i mean come on

00:08:10.340 can you get more ridiculous than that this guy comments do you remember when your government

00:08:13.900 called truckers names froze their bank accounts and refusing the right to protest peacefully and for 0.90

00:08:18.500 omar's third ratio of the week prize remember when he put this one out here the liberal energy is

00:08:23.040 strong down here in windsor at irik k knows how to fill up a room thank you let's keep up the momentum

00:08:29.360 take a look at these photos this guy couldn't fill up a room if his life depended on him i mean come

00:08:33.220 on i mean he's got an empty room here but you know what he sure knows how to fill up a room he sure

00:08:37.640 knows how to fill up a room doesn't he truly unbelievable and this one was particularly rough

00:08:42.520 he got a thousand replies to 100 likes particularly brutal for omar but i mean at this point if it's

00:08:49.020 happening every single day a few times a day it really doesn't matter he's he's he's used to it at
