00:00:00.080 Even Jagmeet Singh said he wasn't in favor of the amendment for Bill C-21.
00:00:04.080 If Jagmeet Singh isn't on board with your piece of liberal legislation,
00:00:07.280 I think you've probably gone a bit too far.
00:00:15.600 Welcome everyone to Ratioed. My name is Harrison Faulkner. We all know that Justin Trudeau and
00:00:20.720 his liberal government are deeply committed to ridding this country of all of its legal firearms.
00:00:25.040 We know this because every single opportunity that the government has to actually tackle gun crime, 0.89
00:00:29.600 they always end up going after the firearms that are never used to commit actual crimes.
00:00:34.000 Just last month, Liberal MP Paul Chang, this guy, tried to quietly add a 458-page amendment
00:00:40.320 to a piece of liberal gun-grab legislation called Bill C-21. This amendment seeks to ban thousands
00:00:46.160 of long guns, bolt-action rifles, shotguns, World War I era, World War II era guns here. One of them
00:00:51.840 is called the Plinkster, which is used to shoot tin cans. One of these guns even has the word
00:00:55.840 duck in the name. I'm pretty sure the manufacturer of that rifle was intending for the target to be
00:01:00.320 ducks and not rival gang members, but nonetheless, the Liberals are seeking to label it an assault
00:01:05.600 style weapon, as they say, and have it banned from all uses. Canadians of all levels of society are
00:01:11.520 speaking out against this legislation, including one notable Canadian, NHL goalie Carey Price of the
00:01:16.720 Montreal Canadiens. Just like any professional athlete, he thought, given what he sees in social
00:01:21.120 media, when he sees his counterparts in basketball, his counterparts in baseball, you know, taking the
00:01:25.920 knee and calling their countries racist, he thought, well, maybe I can speak about politics,
00:01:29.680 too. But you see, he made a big miscalculation. He thought that any athlete could speak about any
00:01:34.480 political issue they wanted. Now, that's just not the case, as we know. Unless you're speaking about
00:01:38.640 far left radical causes, you're actually not allowed to speak. Drop a like on the video,
00:01:42.640 help us out by subscribing to the TrueNearth YouTube channel. And the comment question for the
00:01:46.080 episode is this. How would you like to see members of parliament oppose this piece of legislation?
00:01:51.840 It's all well and good for us to get upset about it. It's all well and good when professional
00:01:55.360 athletes like Carey Price speak up about it. But how would you like to see conservative MPs and
00:01:59.920 block MPs who have voiced their opposition to this actually fight back against the Liberals on this
00:02:05.360 piece of legislation? Let me know in the comments what you guys think. Hopefully, someone is reading
00:02:08.960 these comments and taking some notes. All right, let's get into it. Bill C-21 is a piece of legislation
00:02:13.760 crafted by the Liberals to help them advance their national freeze on handguns. The Liberals
00:02:18.560 announced this freeze on handguns immediately after the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas,
00:02:23.360 using the tragedy of the United States to advance their political cause. Typical Trudeau. The bill
00:02:27.760 before the backdoor liberal amendment, which would ban hunting rifles, was in itself pretty crazy.
00:02:32.800 Take a look at this. This was inside the bill called red flag laws. I'm sure you might have heard of
00:02:37.280 them. The red flag laws would enable anyone to make an application to a court for an emergency weapons
00:02:42.720 prohibition order to immediately remove firearms for up to 30 days from an individual who may pose
00:02:48.000 a danger to themselves or others. So if someone thinks you're a danger to yourself, they can make
00:02:52.880 an application to a court and you can have your firearm seized. The same thing goes for, quote,
00:02:57.040 yellow flag laws, which are also in this legislation. The yellow flag laws, among others,
00:03:01.280 allow a chief firearms officer to temporarily suspend an individual's license for up to 30 days when
00:03:06.800 there is a reason to suspect the person is no longer eligible to hold a firearms license. Any member of the
00:03:11.920 the public to contact a chief firearms officer with information about a license holder and a chief
00:03:16.480 firearms officer to use the 30-day suspension to investigate a claim and revoke a license if there
00:03:21.120 is evidence to support it. And last but not least, along with the red flag laws and along with the
00:03:25.440 yellow flag laws and on top of the total freeze on handguns, the government was also proposing a
00:03:31.120 prohibition on air guns or guns that closely resemble real firearms but are not real firearms, like replicas
00:03:37.840 or better known as toy guns, but toy guns that look real. And now Liberal MP Paul Chang's 478 page amendment
00:03:45.360 seeks to ban thousands of long guns. Thousands of guns that are not used to commit any crimes in this
00:03:51.920 country. As we all know, a gun in the wrong hands can kill somebody. It's a very dangerous thing, even if
00:03:56.240 it's the plinkster that's used to shoot tin cans. It's still bad. But gun owners in Canada are some of the safest
00:04:01.920 Canadians in the country. Even if they wanted to have illegal guns, they wouldn't be able to because the
00:04:06.480 government is constantly surveilling them. And whether or not you think that's a good thing or
00:04:09.840 not, the truth is they are very safe. And no one, not even the Liberals, are able to say that the
00:04:14.400 licensed gun owners in Canada are the ones committing gun crime. We all know who commits gun
00:04:18.640 crime and they're not the legal gun owners. They're not the licensed gun owners. They're gangbangers in our
00:04:22.560 biggest cities. Now, Justin Trudeau, Marco Mendicino and the Liberal government, they always like to use the
00:04:27.440 term assault-style weapons. They always like to try and scare Canadians to say, well, the guns we're taking off
00:04:33.040 the street are military assault-style weapons. Should we take a look at some of these dangerous,
00:04:38.480 scary, military-style assault weapons, as the government always says? Why don't we take a look,
00:04:42.800 actually, at what is in this new amendment? Oh, look at this scary gun here, the Ruger No. 1.
00:04:47.280 As the National Post puts it, if you're looking to hold up a liquor store, it is probably your worst
00:04:51.120 option. It's only got one shot, so you've got to fire it once and then you've got to load it up again with
00:04:55.200 another bullet each time, one after another. But take a look at this one. It's the Mossberg 702
00:05:00.080 Plankster. It's all black, so it's kind of scary looking, but as the name suggests, it's used for
00:05:05.520 shooting tin cans, target practice. The National Post does say, however, that it's got about the
00:05:11.440 same amount of firepower as the gunpowder-activated concrete hammer that you can buy at the Home Depot.
00:05:16.400 But again, like I said, you see this one a lot in downtown Toronto. You see it in the back alleys of
00:05:22.960 Scarborough, where all the gang members like to hang out. It's a very common-used gun in the downtown
00:05:29.040 Toronto gang scene, the Plankster. Oh, look at this guy here, the Wesley Richards model, 1897.
00:05:35.280 Another .22 caliber gun, so just like the Plankster, it's got a lot of firepower, a lot of danger there.
00:05:40.480 As the model name suggests, it is in fact from the 19th century, and it also comes with some pretty
00:05:47.280 nice engravings on the side. So we've got a serious gun here, and it says in the original
00:05:53.280 marketing for the gun, it is used for rabbit shooting. So designed for rabbit shooting,
00:05:58.560 but take Justin Trudeau's word for it. He says we're not going after hunting rifles, but
00:06:02.960 again, the Wesley Richards from 1897 is very dangerous looking, but kind of cool looking gun
00:06:09.120 here. It must be banned in order to keep our city safe. The Liberal government is banning any break
00:06:15.520 action shotgun, which as the name sounds, you actually break the gun in half to load two shotgun
00:06:21.120 shells into it and cock it back into place where you can shoot. And they're shotgun shells. But
00:06:25.600 Canada's trying to ban almost every single type of break action shotgun, which includes almost all the
00:06:31.040 guns made by a manufacturer called Parker Brothers, which is an American gun maker, which hasn't
00:06:35.760 existed since the 1940s. I think one of the funniest parts about this amendment is that in their extremely
00:06:40.640 long copy and pasted list of weapons that they have decided to ban, they didn't even bother to look
00:06:45.600 at some of these options because take a look at here. One of the guns that is banned in the list
00:06:49.920 is called the Webley and amp amp amp Scott Wildfowl gun. So not only do the names have
00:06:58.800 wildfowl and duck in the gun, they're not even spelled right. It's clearly copy and pasted with
00:07:05.360 Webley and amp amp amp amp. As you can see, the Liberals are very serious about keeping Canadian
00:07:10.000 cities safe. That's why they're going after the Webley amp amp amp gun and the finely engraved
00:07:16.240 Italian Kanseri rifle, along with the Parker gun, the the break action shotgun and the Wesley
00:07:22.880 Richards 1897 very dangerous, very scary military style assault weapon. So as you can see, the guns
00:07:29.760 that are being banned have the name wildfowl and duck in them among I'm sure many of them. So they're
00:07:35.600 actually designed to shoot ducks. The guns are designed for hunting, but Liberal cabinet
00:07:39.120 ministers like Marco Medicino and Justin Trudeau are brazenly telling people that they're not going
00:07:43.600 after hunters. Take a look at these two. We've been very clear that we are not targeting law
00:07:50.400 abiding hunters and fishers. We're not going after shotguns or rifles. We have banned military style
00:07:58.080 assault weapons. Madam Speaker, in fact, my colleague from the Conservative Party is wrong. 0.86
00:08:04.480 We are not targeting hunters. In fact, I met members of the hunting community this morning to assure them
00:08:11.120 that what we are going after are the AR-15 style firearms, which have been used in far too many
00:08:16.480 mass casualties across the country. And on Wednesday, even Jagmeet Singh said he wasn't in favor of the
00:08:22.080 amendment for Bill C-21. If Jagmeet Singh isn't on board with your piece of Liberal legislation,
00:08:26.800 I think you've probably gone a bit too far. Our caucus has always supported the handgun ban. We
00:08:32.160 think it's the right thing to do. We believe it's important to keep communities safe and we're unified
00:08:36.400 behind it. The amendment is something that we're concerned about. And frankly, the Liberals know
00:08:40.800 that there's problems with it. They themselves can't explain how it would be put in place and
00:08:46.080 they themselves admitted it was a mistake. So now we're expecting them to fix their mistake.
00:08:50.160 So all of this brings us to Carey Price, the legendary goalie for the Montreal Canadiens.
00:08:54.720 Carey Price took to Instagram on Sunday to voice his opposition to Trudeau's gun grab legislation. He wrote
00:09:00.720 this, I love my family. I love my country and I care for my neighbor. I'm not a criminal or a threat
00:09:05.840 to society. What Justin Trudeau is trying to do is unjust. I support the CCFR to keep my hunting tools.
00:09:12.400 Thank you for listening to my opinion. A totally reasonable statement. He loves his country. He
00:09:17.040 loves his neighbor. And what the prime minister is doing is unjust. And he drops this pretty badass
00:09:21.760 photo of him standing in a field with his shotgun, with his rifle saying, I'm not on board with your
00:09:26.160 plan to ban hunting guns. I mean, he even thanks you for listening to his opinion. I mean,
00:09:30.080 come on, how can you not respect that? Carey Price's post on Instagram kickstarted an absolute
00:09:34.320 firestorm on social media, driving the conversation on Twitter for the past two or three days in
00:09:39.200 opposition to this piece of legislation. Pierre Pauliev wrote on Twitter,
00:09:43.440 Carey is absolutely right. Hunting is a great Canadian tradition. Trudeau's attempts to ban
00:09:47.520 hunting rifles are an attack on rural and indigenous people. We must stop him. Even the 1.00
00:09:51.920 bloc leader Yves-Francois Blanchet jumped on this and really use it to rally around opposition to the
00:09:57.840 bill. Unfortunately for Carey Price though, his opinion wasn't woke enough. It wasn't progressive
00:10:02.800 enough. It wasn't far left enough for the extremely woke NHL and the Montreal Canadians.
00:10:07.280 So much so that the Montreal Canadians went so far as to cancel their own employee. They tried to
00:10:12.880 cancel Carey Price, forcing him to apologize for his statement, forcing him to apologize because of
00:10:18.080 the timing. It wasn't right. The timing was wrong because it was too close to the Ecole Polytechnique
00:10:23.520 massacre. Take a look at this woke, extremely embarrassing, groveling statement from the
00:10:27.840 Montreal Canadians. So I'm going to save you and not read the entire statement. I'll just jump to
00:10:31.600 the actual part that matters. On Saturday, Carey Price posted a statement in support of the CCFR's
00:10:36.720 opposition to a proposed federal gun control legislation. As previously stated, Carey was
00:10:41.920 unaware of the CCFR's recent marketing campaign, nor was he aware of the unfortunate timing of his
00:10:46.960 statement. The Montreal Canadians wish to express their sincere apology to any and all who have been
00:10:51.680 offended or upset by the discourse that has arisen over this matter in recent days.
00:10:55.840 So they're actually apologizing for the opinions of one of their own employees. They're attacking
00:11:00.320 Carey Price because he decided to voice his opinion on a piece of legislation which was
00:11:04.880 up for debate in committee at this current time because it coincided with the Polytechnique massacre.
00:11:11.600 Now, of course, the timing is not great, but the timing is itself a trap. So that anyone who voices their
00:11:16.880 opinion on a piece of legislation which is being debated on as we speak right now is seen as being
00:11:23.840 insensitive to the timing of the massacre. But no one commented on the timing when the Liberals
00:11:28.640 announced Bill C-21 in the first place. That was about timing too. They announced that piece of
00:11:33.360 legislation on the back of the Yuvali school shooting, but no one said they're using the tragedy
00:11:37.440 to benefit their own political cause. Ratio of the week time, guys, and it's going to Jagmeet Singh,
00:11:42.400 the leader of the NDP. We've featured him on this show already, but take a look at this absolutely
00:11:46.800 insane tweet that he released. What was it? Sunday or Monday? I think it was Sunday. Just
00:11:51.680 take a look at this. White supremacy, misogyny, and racism continue to contribute to this ongoing 0.82
00:11:58.320 genocide of MMIWG2S, and we must confront it. He's talking there about the missing and murdered 0.62
00:12:06.640 indigenous women and girls. And he just tacked on two-spirit as well, 2S, because we're not living 0.61
00:12:11.920 in clown world. He tacked on 2S there as well to make the acronym look totally normal. MMIWG2S. He
00:12:18.800 says that the genocide of the MMIWG2S, the missing and murdered indigenous girls and two-spirits, 0.96
00:12:26.080 the genocide is being perpetrated by white supremacists and misogynists and racists. 0.99
00:12:33.360 Now, we all know that's an absurdly ridiculous statement. We don't need to get into it because 1.00
00:12:37.280 it's frankly a waste of time. By getting into it, we're kind of validating it. But think about this.
00:12:42.720 Jagmeet Singh is basically saying that he is propping up a government which is overseeing a genocide
00:12:48.160 of indigenous women and girls. No one is forcing Jagmeet Singh to be in this position. No one is
00:12:52.960 forcing Jagmeet Singh to prop up the genocidal government, as he says. He could just so easily
00:12:57.440 drop his support. He could easily leave the country and say, I want to wash my hands of this genocidal
00:13:02.640 government. But for whatever reason, he seems pretty content propping up this government,
00:13:07.200 which he apparently thinks is committing some sort of ongoing genocide. This tweet has over 2300
00:13:13.440 replies, 2314 comments, and 1509 likes. So a brutal ratio, a worthy winner. Take a look at some of these
00:13:22.640 comments. MMIWG2S seems like a reasonable acronym that is not a sign of deep-seated neurosis
00:13:29.200 at all. But why is there no plus at the end of it? Are you a bigot? That was my thinking too,
00:13:33.680 Greg. I thought to myself, well, wait a minute here. We're leaving out a bunch of stuff here.
00:13:37.440 We're leaving out the, we're leaving out the asexual indigenous women and girls. We're leaving 1.00
00:13:42.400 out the bisexual indigenous women and girls. We're leaving out the lesbian, the gay, the transgender 1.00
00:13:47.760 indigenous women and girls. I think you're onto something here. I think Jagmeet Singh here might be a
00:13:51.600 bit of a bigot. John Kaye, always in the money, writes this. So there's an ongoing genocide being
00:13:56.240 conducted by the Canadian government, the same government that's been in power for seven years,
00:14:00.240 and which you and the NDP are now propping up as accessories to genocide. When are you and your
00:14:04.080 whole genocidaire caucus going to turn yourself into the Hague? Any day now, hopefully. And I had 0.98
00:14:08.800 to get in on the action myself. I just wrote, Canada's not a serious country. All right,
00:14:12.640 that's going to do it for us this week on the show. Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:14:15.760 My name is Harrison Faulkner. I'll catch you tomorrow on Fake News Friday, and this is Reishi.
