00:00:00.040 How can you tell if your country is failing? Is it when hundreds of thousands of children have to
00:00:11.520 rely on food banks to stay alive in a country with over 89 million acres of cropland? Is it
00:00:17.340 when your own people can't drink the water from their taps as the government spends billions in
00:00:21.780 foreign aid projects around the world? Perhaps it's when violent criminals take over our cities
00:00:26.820 and turn them into half-abandoned unlivable hellscapes as the government is now offering
00:00:30.960 to kill people who have simply had enough. Or perhaps it's when your own people just can't
00:00:35.660 afford to live in their own country anymore as the government floods the country with
00:00:40.240 millions of economic migrants. All of this is happening in Canada right now. In Justin Trudeau's
00:00:45.960 Canada. None of it is normal and absolutely none of it should be acceptable. There is a viral video
00:00:51.860 circulating around social media right now of a snaking lineup outside a downtown Toronto food
00:00:57.260 bank and the video says all you need to know about what is going on in Canada right now. Canadians are
00:01:03.160 literally starving in Justin Trudeau's Canada and trust me that is not an overstatement. Stick around
00:01:08.280 for the ratio of the week prize, drop a like in the video, help us out by subscribing to the True
00:01:11.640 North YouTube channel, and the comment question for the episode is this. Have you ever seen Canada
00:01:16.420 this bad? Let me know and let's get into it. Just watch this video. This is from Monday in downtown
00:01:22.340 Toronto outside of the Fort York food bank. No one speaks in this video, but no one has to. The
00:01:48.200 video itself says an awful lot about where we are as a country right now. Last year there was a 134% 0.97
00:01:54.600 spike in Canadians needing to access food banks just to stay alive and this year that number is
00:02:00.080 predicted to jump another 60%. But if you were to ask Justin Trudeau at one of his clearly scripted town
00:02:05.360 halls, he would tell you that Canada's economy is doing really well right now compared to the rest of
00:02:10.220 the world. Can you feel it? Canada as a country is doing really well and doesn't always feel that way
00:02:19.400 because we're going through a tough time right now. But the first of all, the job numbers we have,
00:02:28.020 the employment is great. So many people have jobs. That's always a stability in the economy,
00:02:33.600 but more the kinds of jobs we're bringing in for the future and the way Canada is positioning itself
00:02:40.400 for the coming decades should give people a lot of confidence. This article is from the CBC in late
00:02:47.060 October of 2022. More Canadians are turning to food banks than ever before, new report says. The report
00:02:53.700 said the skyrocketing cost of housing as well as high inflation and low social assistance rates have
00:02:59.240 contributed to the rise in food bank usage. What we are seeing is the combination of long-term effects
00:03:04.520 to a broken social safety net combined with the effects of inflation and high costs driving more
00:03:09.780 people to use food banks than ever before in Canadian history. The report also said that around
00:03:14.440 500,000 food bank clients, although one-third, are children. Take that in. 500,000 children in this
00:03:23.540 country have to rely on food banks just to stay alive. But the Canadian government, they really
00:03:36.060 care about the people, guys. They really care about making sure those 500,000 children don't have to
00:03:41.780 rely on food banks to survive. That's why they introduced the extremely generous grocery rebate. 0.91
00:03:47.700 This is taken from the federal government's news release. To make life more affordable, budget
00:03:52.880 2023 delivers the new grocery rebate, offering targeted inflation relief for 11 million low
00:03:58.960 and modest income Canadians and families who need it most, with up to an additional $467 for eligible
00:04:06.080 couples with children, an additional $234 for single Canadians without children, and an additional $225
00:04:13.040 for seniors on average. So if you were ever curious about how the government values you as a citizen,
00:04:19.040 look no further than this grocery rebate. This extremely generous check of $460 for a family
00:04:26.320 with children. That's basically three trips to the grocery store. Oh, and if you're a senior who spent
00:04:31.280 your life paying taxes to this country and contributing to this country, the government will give you a
00:04:36.160 nice fat check of $220 for food. You don't want to line up at the food bank every single day to keep your child
00:04:44.320 fed? Well, here's $400 so you don't have to come back to the food bank for about, let's say, maybe a
00:04:50.320 month and a half. We'll see you back in a month's time though. But someone should tell those families
00:04:54.640 having to go to the food bank to keep their children fed and live a little bit longer that there's just
00:04:58.320 not enough money to go around. Because in 2021, the Canadian government under Justin Trudeau had to spend
00:05:04.560 $8.4 billion in foreign aid. The government knows you're struggling. That's why they're offering
00:05:10.080 families $450. How generous. Meanwhile, here's $8.4 billion to fund foreign projects around the world,
00:05:18.080 which will not do one single thing to lift the lives of any Canadian. The government knows you
00:05:23.920 can't afford to live in the city you grew up in and your family paid taxes in for generations.
00:05:28.560 That's why they're sending a billion dollars to Ukraine. Or what about sending $70 million to
00:05:33.360 Sudan, which was just announced yesterday? And did you know that in 2021, Justin Trudeau gave China
00:05:38.400 $2.8 million of taxpayer money as aid? Now $2.8 million in the grand scheme of things is not a
00:05:43.920 whole heck of a lot of money from the government. But I would venture to guess that the Chinese 1.00
00:05:47.280 Communist Party haven't sent a single Chinese Yuan over to Canada to help us with our struggles.
00:05:53.120 As the Chinese Communist Party meddles in our elections, spies on Canadians, and threatens Canadian 0.99
00:05:58.160 politicians, we are sending them millions of dollars in aid as our own people are starving in
00:06:03.840 the streets. What about mass immigration? How is that helping the people who are just trying to
00:06:08.080 survive day by day? Both Justin Trudeau and Pierre Polyev are in favor of continued, high-level
00:06:14.240 mass immigration into this country, regardless of the problems, regardless of the future consequences.
00:06:19.280 Justin Trudeau, since 2016, has brought in more than 1.3 million immigrants to Canada,
00:06:24.720 the highest number of new immigrants recorded in any census. Trudeau added over 430,000 immigrants to
00:06:31.040 Canada in 2022. And by 2025, Trudeau wants to bring in another 1.5 million immigrants. And according to
00:06:38.400 our genius Prime Minister, the key to solving the housing crisis is more immigration. Try to wrap your 1.00
00:06:44.640 head around that one. And that's where immigration is actually a solution on housing and not just a
00:06:50.720 crater of more problems of housing shortages. Because as we bring in people to work in the construction
00:06:56.400 industry, we can create even more homes. Even though Canadian citizens can't afford to live in the
00:07:00.800 cities they grew up in, the federal government under Justin Trudeau has no problem renting out
00:07:05.520 close to 2,500 hotel rooms in Niagara Falls to house illegal migrants. Now, there's a word for how 0.97
00:07:11.840 the Canadian government treats its own citizens compared to how they roll out the red carpet for
00:07:15.920 illegal asylum seekers. And that word is betrayal. Ultimate betrayal of its own people. But the worst
00:07:21.680 betrayal of all, the most disgraceful thing the Canadian government has overseen since the last
00:07:26.640 residential school shutdown, is the fact that 1 in 6 First Nations communities still live under boil
00:07:32.800 water advisories. The Canadian people can't even drink the water out of their own tap as we send 1.00
00:07:38.560 billions of dollars every single year to fund water projects across the world. In November of 2015,
00:07:45.200 Justin Trudeau made a promise to Canadians that by 2021, all long-term boil water advisories
00:07:51.440 would be lifted in this country. But hey, when you have to spend over $8 billion a year on other
00:07:56.160 countries, finding the money and the effort to take care of your own citizens, that clearly becomes
00:08:01.040 a lot more difficult for Justin Trudeau's Liberals. Because as of today, there are still 44 long-term
00:08:06.400 boil water advisories in this country. And in one Northern Ontario First Nation, Neskantiga First Nation,
00:08:12.720 that community, three months ago, marked the 28-year anniversary of living under a boil water advisory.
00:08:20.320 28 years. Imagine that, just for a second. Chief Wayne Munia says the lack of clean water on the
00:08:26.160 fly in First Nation has taken a serious toll on his community members, many of whom have lived their
00:08:31.840 whole lives without potable tap water. We say we live in the greatest country in this world.
00:08:39.680 Canada is one of the greatest countries, one of the most richest countries in the world.
00:08:43.920 And yet, a First Nation in Northern Ontario is not able to access clean, safe drinking water in their
00:08:51.840 homes. And that should tell Canada something. That should tell the public something. Why is that still
00:08:58.240 happening today? And it's not a celebratory moment. It's actually a shameful thing to
00:09:07.200 to think about and to even share that we are still talking about this after 28 years.
00:09:12.480 Even though the Canadian government really has to send a billion dollars to Ukraine,
00:09:16.560 watch as a First Nations chief has to beg Justin Trudeau to take the water issue seriously on First
00:09:22.560 Nations communities. It's a national disgrace. There are many communities still suffering, 1.00
00:09:27.760 such as Ottawa, Scott, and there's still many communities really with third world conditions.
00:09:32.880 You're calling for partnership, reconciliation, justice. Well, there's a lot of communities,
00:09:40.000 such as Ottawa, Scott, that need that that need to be heard. And there's communities like us shouldn't
00:09:46.640 be suffering to meet the basic needs for our people. It's a struggle. When we say every child
00:09:52.880 matters within my community, there's a lot of children and they all matter. Niskanjiga for water,
00:10:00.240 the basic life. Why do we have to come to these forums just to meet the basic needs for our people?
00:10:07.680 And just as Canada begins to embrace the new mold of being a failed state,
00:10:11.760 the federal government has offered us an out. They've offered us the chance to just kill ourselves 0.88
00:10:16.560 at the hands of the state. Just watch what the leader of a Mississauga food bank says to a journalist
00:10:21.120 about what's going on. The fact that people are now willing to kill themselves instead of struggling
00:10:25.440 to just get by in this country. I want to play you a clip if you don't mind. We've done multiple
00:10:30.640 stories about the cost of living and this one in particular surprised a lot of us. So people are
00:10:36.880 so desperate, they're coming here for food, but then they're asking you about assisted suicide?
00:10:41.440 Yes. That's, you're having people ask you about assisted suicide? Yes. Yes. That's, I, when I say that
00:10:47.840 this is an emergency in the community, people who are living at the bottom income percentile in our
00:10:54.400 community are talking to us now about taking their own lives because it's too hard to be poor any longer.
00:11:02.160 That's the CEO of the Mississauga food bank. And we were stunned by that.
00:11:09.760 What goes through your mind when you hear that? It's, it's heartbreaking. But Justin Trudeau,
00:11:14.080 his heart breaks for them. It really does ratio of the week time. The winner this week is the
00:11:18.960 Liberal Party of Canada. This weekend is the Liberal Party convention. And if you're in Ottawa,
00:11:24.240 they've got quite the lineup of speakers that I'm sure you're going to want to check out all the
00:11:27.520 usual suspects, the Trudeau cabinet, including Justin Trudeau are of course going to speak,
00:11:31.680 but there's one big speaker that they really wanted to announce to the Canadian people to try and
00:11:35.840 really get them excited about the Liberal Party convention. Take a look at this time and again,
00:11:41.040 Hillary Clinton has been a global leader on human rights, strengthening the middle class,
00:11:45.920 and building an economy that works for everyone. We're excited to announce that she'll be joining
00:11:50.480 Chrystia Freeland for a keynote conversation at Liberal convention 2023. 3,968 replies to only 2,334 likes.
00:12:02.640 And you know what? For a party that attacks the conservatives for importing American-style
00:12:06.880 politics and for inviting a speaker as beloved as Hillary Clinton, that ratio, that kind of makes
00:12:12.720 sense, doesn't it? These parody accounts get me every time. This is from Toronto Sun columnist,
00:12:17.680 Brian Lilly. No party imports American-style politics nor American politicians quite like the
00:12:23.680 Liberal Party of Canada. What a winning combo. Oh yeah, what an exciting conversation that'll be.
00:12:29.200 Freeland, Hillary Clinton, what more could you ask for? Now for personal safety reasons,
00:12:34.160 I've decided to keep my opinions about Hillary Clinton nice and close to the chest. But don't
00:12:38.560 worry, we're thinking the exact same thing. Alright everyone, that's going to do it for
00:12:41.360 us this week on the show. Thank you so much for tuning in. My name is Harrison Faulkner,
00:12:44.880 and this is Ratioed.
00:13:04.160 You can for cheeringĂŞmes I think that'sĂłya you've got 0.97

00:13:24.160 That's okay.
00:13:24.640 OK.
00:13:26.540 Yeah.
