00:00:00.000 Look, it's okay to accept that you made a mistake voting for this government.
00:00:03.280 You should be holding your MPs accountable.
00:00:05.400 They're using your money to make the cost of living in this country
00:00:08.720 higher for you than it needs to be on purpose for the wealthy, for their friends.
00:00:13.500 There is no other explanation to this, okay?
00:00:16.140 Are we, like the UK, scared to be called racist because we can't face the truth?
00:00:20.400 It's not racist to face the truth.
00:00:23.600 I am a Muslim, okay?
00:00:26.180 Afghani, I'm Iraqi.
00:00:27.500 If the data said 95% of them were Afghans or 95% of them are Iraqi, if you are Italian or Portuguese or whatever it is, and it said 95% of those nationals that come into this country are committing these crimes, then we need to look at that data with the facts in front of us and do the things that are required to safeguard our children.
00:00:49.200 in. Canada is a country where people are free to worship. That is not a debate. Muslims have 0.67
00:00:58.580 every right to pray. Christians have every right to go to church. Jews have every right to go to
00:01:02.760 synagogue. Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, everyone has the same basic freedoms. That's
00:01:07.700 what makes Canada, Canada. But here we are, and this is where the debate begins. In downtown
00:01:12.580 Regina, a mosque has started broadcasting the Islamic call to prayer over outdoor loudspeakers
00:01:18.380 on Fridays. Reports say it lasts roughly two to three minutes around the noon hour and that test
00:01:23.560 has been approved to run temporarily. And now people are asking a very fair question. Where is
00:01:28.480 the line between religious freedom and the public being expected to hear religious expression through
00:01:34.140 an amplified speaker? So I want you to watch this video. This is the first time this has happened
00:01:39.660 in Canada and I'm going to give you my take as a Muslim that was born here.
00:01:48.380 this is not about your religion this is about to me and again as somebody that is the son of
00:02:03.280 immigrants that came from afghanistan in iraq i was born in this country in canada i am a muslim
00:02:08.900 it is about respecting the nature of this country and the fact that this country was built on
00:02:15.180 Christian values, right? This country has the opportunity for people of all religions,
00:02:23.240 all respects of where they've come from, to go ahead and practice what they believe in. Absolutely.
00:02:29.360 But when does it come to a point where this is, in my opinion, not appropriate, right? This shows
00:02:35.600 a lack of respect for the people around you. And to be honest with you, look, I've been to other
00:02:40.280 countries, Dubai, Turkey, et cetera. They do this. They put it on the loudspeakers and it doesn't
00:02:45.860 matter to me. Let's say I enjoy this. Maybe it's something that I like hearing. It shouldn't mean
00:02:51.480 that I go ahead and push this upon everybody in loudspeakers in a country that is not fundamentally
00:02:57.800 Muslim based. And that's where we've seen this happen in other countries that are predominantly 0.87
00:03:02.500 Muslim. They have this. Okay. But this is Canada, right? This is a country where we came in. And 1.00
00:03:08.720 And when I look and I speak to other Muslims and other immigrants, it's part of being respectful, assimilating, and understanding other people have different cultures, other religious beliefs.
00:03:17.780 And to be putting it out on a loudspeaker, in my opinion, is a step too far.
00:03:21.640 This does not mean I'm saying don't practice your religion.
00:03:24.760 It doesn't mean I don't respect Muslims, myself, and other Muslims to practice what they believe.
00:03:30.720 It means about being respectful.
00:03:32.920 It means that you understand that you live in a predominantly, foundationally, in our Constitution.
00:03:37.740 it's based on those Christian beliefs and values to be respectful. And with some people that
00:03:42.900 compare this, by the way, to Christian churches and the bells ringing, that's totally, that is
00:03:48.800 not a comparison that can be made, right? Like, look, I barely, to be honest with you, ever hear
00:03:53.540 church bells ringing anymore. And that's a musical tone. That is bells playing, okay? This is a,
00:04:00.960 you know, a recite that they put out over loudspeakers that is in a different language.
00:04:06.320 It is totally different. It's words being propagated over loudspeaker versus bells of a Christian church, as an example. And so that's where I think it's a step too far. It's about respecting the people around you. And it's in my perspective, if you believe this is something that you need, then go to another Muslim country. It just doesn't make sense.
00:04:27.120 And I find the other hypocritical thing is it's really funny. And again, this is just one example. Not all Muslim countries are like this, but like my mom is from Afghanistan. Okay. I'm part of Ghani. If you went to Afghanistan, guys, okay, and you played the Bible over loudspeaker, you are going to be stoned to death. Okay. I'm being dead serious.
00:04:49.180 So it's just it's really funny when I when I see this. And then some Muslims will come and attack me and they have started to attack me because I share this perspective. And to be honest with you, these are the people that I unfortunately don't respect because they don't even want to debate. Right. They just immediately will try to vilify you. The entire point here is that we respect and we have to be self reflective of what we're trying to do in this country.
00:05:13.580 If we are talking about ensuring that there's equality, ensuring that we accommodate for people's beliefs, we have to be respectful to others and their beliefs, and we shouldn't be putting this stuff on loudspeaker.
00:05:26.120 I think it's a pretty common sense thing, but people can misconstrue it, and they'll say you're causing division and hate.
00:05:32.420 But I'm telling you, as somebody that's Muslim and spoken to many Muslims, the majority of people that I speak to don't want this.
00:05:38.680 right? We don't want this to be blasted via loudspeakers in the middle of a downtown in a
00:05:43.920 major city in Canada. What we do want is the ability to express ourselves and be able to
00:05:49.300 pray the way we want. And we all support that. As all Canadians, we support that regardless of
00:05:54.040 your religious beliefs. But I really believe this is a step too far. Now talking about a step too
00:05:58.800 far, we're going to flip the page to a story out of the UK, which has not gotten mainstream media
00:06:04.080 attention. And honestly, if there's one thing that you followed me on, it's really about
00:06:08.680 crime it's about public safety it's one of the key things that i hold near and dear to my heart
00:06:13.140 and the reason why i think this is important is because it again comes to the fact that
00:06:18.600 we are stopping public debate and discussion on something because people are scared to be called
00:06:24.060 racist and that is allowing for hundreds of thousands of girls and women to be raped
00:06:30.160 watch this video this is breaking news rather euphemistically because what we're talking about 0.97
00:06:36.360 is abduction and rape of minor white british girls on mass by pakistani adult men this report
00:06:44.680 suggests that the number of white british girls who have been raped by pakistani men could be as
00:06:50.700 high as about 250 000 and the report suggests in fact that the number could be higher the report
00:06:58.340 quotes a senior imam from oxford as saying that 95 percent of the men involved are pakistanis
00:07:07.180 this now is a report this is sick paints an alarming picture but the estimate does appear
00:07:13.680 credible enough bearing in mind that most such cases never are reported given the nature of the
00:07:20.420 crime and the nature of the offense and the circumstances around it and the government
00:07:24.400 to try to kibosh the report young girls to report such offenses also at the center at Westminster
00:07:31.200 there was a demand for an inquiry into this and Keir Starmer turned down that demand and got his
00:07:37.420 MPs to vote against it and he's just resigned an inquiry has been ordered but this was under
00:07:43.240 pressure and the terms of that inquiry are limited oh this makes me so sick to my stomach and I'm
00:07:49.240 gonna say this right now people follow me you follow me you watch me because regardless of
00:07:53.920 my background, I hold everybody accountable, including I am a Muslim and I will hold Muslims 1.00
00:07:59.940 to the fire on some of these egregious crimes that they are committing. I hold everybody to 1.00
00:08:04.960 the fire equally. I don't look at people by the background of their skin, their religious beliefs,
00:08:10.660 et cetera. But when in the case, like in the UK, they ignore collecting the data. This is a very
00:08:17.640 important part. They ignore collecting the data on racial profile and then an independent
00:08:23.560 report comes out and says up to 96, 95% of the people are Pakistani nationals that are committing
00:08:30.620 these heinous crimes since 1950. Over 200, about 250,000 people through an extrapolation. And I 0.94
00:08:38.160 will use an asterisk there because the government purposely did not collect the data of racial
00:08:44.360 profile for these crimes. And the reason why I'm covering the story in Canada right now
00:08:48.500 is because the same thing in terms of the data collection is happening here.
00:08:53.680 Can you believe this?
00:08:54.720 This is 100% true. 0.74
00:08:57.380 Statistics Canada collects the data of racial identity for every crime
00:09:03.460 except sexual crimes.
00:09:07.100 They don't collect racial identity.
00:09:09.620 They leave that out.
00:09:11.060 They don't collect it and they don't report on it.
00:09:12.920 In 2024, they stated that they would start doing this.
00:09:16.480 But as of right now, June 25th, 2026, that data is still not publicly available.
00:09:22.320 And the problem is with this is that the government in the UK from the very top to all the other
00:09:27.820 institutions to the police purposefully obfuscated the data, manipulated the data, took away the
00:09:34.660 data so that they would not put this out in the public, so that there would not be a correlation
00:09:40.180 to a racial profile of these most heinous sexual crimes to our children because they were scared
00:09:47.500 of being called racists. This is insane to me. We allow, in the case of the UK government, 0.78
00:09:56.120 they have allowed countless of women to continuously be raped because they're scared 0.69
00:10:01.320 of being called racists. And why am I saying this? How am I making that connection? The fact that 0.83
00:10:06.800 They refused to allow all the data to be in front of the United Kingdom and its people
00:10:11.940 so that they could take the appropriate action to address the issue means that they purposely
00:10:17.900 allowed this to happen.
00:10:19.420 It's that simple.
00:10:20.740 Imagine if they had the data earlier on and said, well, clearly we have an issue. 0.99
00:10:24.960 There's clearly a 95% correlation of Pakistani nationals doing this in this country. 0.93
00:10:30.160 We have to solve that in this specific nuanced way.
00:10:33.600 But instead, they obfuscated the data, and thus people were left to do anecdotals, anecdotals, and they never got to the root cause of it all.
00:10:42.740 This is unacceptable.
00:10:44.780 And I pray to God, and I fear that this is – we know what's happening in Canada.
00:10:51.560 We don't know to what degree because, again, we are not collecting the data.
00:10:55.880 And it really makes me question why.
00:10:59.120 Why are we not collecting the data?
00:11:01.200 Are we, like the UK, scared to be called racist because we can't face the truth?
00:11:05.840 It's not racist to face the truth.
00:11:09.800 I am a Muslim, okay?
00:11:12.380 Afghani, I'm Iraqi.
00:11:14.040 If the data said 95% of them are Afghans or 95% of them are Iraqi,
00:11:20.120 if you are Italian or Portuguese or whatever it is, 0.97
00:11:23.360 and it said 95% of those nationals that come into this country are committing these crimes,
00:11:29.620 then we need to look at that data with the facts in front of us and do the things that are required
00:11:35.640 to safeguard our children. Instead, we muck the data purposely. We put it over to the side because
00:11:43.140 we're just scared of being called racists. This is what is wrong in our society. We are so scared
00:11:49.860 to face the truth. And sometimes the truth is hard to face. If there's anyone in anything that
00:11:55.660 I've learned in my career, somebody that's worked in startups, worked in high growth businesses,
00:12:00.580 in order to succeed, when things go wrong, you have to quickly identify what's going wrong.
00:12:06.400 You have to look at the data in its totality, even if you don't like to see the data,
00:12:11.220 even if it means the initiatives and campaigns that you put out were at the time you thought
00:12:16.260 were right, but were clearly wrong. You need to own up to it. You need to look at it and say,
00:12:21.220 we messed up here. Now pivot. Now move. You can't do that in a country if you obfuscate the data.
00:12:28.540 You can't protect Canadians. You can't protect people from the most heinous crimes when you do
00:12:33.280 this. Such a sickening story. And here's the thing. People will go ahead and try to dispel
00:12:39.560 this and say, it's not 250,000. Poor extrapolation methods. The number doesn't matter. It could be
00:12:46.180 10,000 people. It could be 5,000 people. It could be 50,000 people. It's the fact that systematically
00:12:52.060 the government turned a blind eye to the most horrific crimes that can happen to our children
00:12:56.780 because they're scared of being called racists. Oh my God, guys, this is so pathetic. This is some 1.00
00:13:04.720 of the most pathetic things I've heard. And the reason why I'm covering the story again is because 0.96
00:13:08.620 in Canada, it seemingly feels like we are obfuscating the data. We are not collecting the
00:13:14.300 data. And since 2024, when they said they're going to fix this, it is still not fixed. We need to
00:13:19.440 fix this in our country. We need to confront the truth in our country. I'm not saying it's
00:13:23.280 happening here to this degree. What I'm saying is we need the data. I want to see the data because
00:13:28.260 I want to be able to protect our women and our children and our little girls from the most
00:13:32.180 violent, heinous crimes, the crimes that honestly would never wish upon your worst enemies. These
00:13:36.900 people are truly monsters. And we need to make sure we have the proper data in place so that
00:13:41.800 we can address the monsters that we have in our society. It's that simple. It's that simple.
00:13:47.360 Crazy, crazy story. Oh man. Now let's flip it over to honestly, another just really sickening
00:13:55.780 story that's happening in Canada right now. It's really going to continue to push the wealth divide.
00:13:59.460 I've made a couple of comments on this previously already. The wealth divide in this country is only
00:14:05.660 going to continue. The rich are going to get richer and the poor are going to get poorer.
00:14:08.620 if you believe for one second this liberal government mark carney cares about affordability
00:14:14.800 and cares about you watch this video if you were tricked okay this is going to unmask the man
00:14:23.100 behind the policies in this country that are causing the most division that we're seeing here
00:14:27.480 play this video liberals are bailing out greedy developers thousands of metro vancouver units are
00:14:33.780 sitting empty. But Andy Yan is questioning a plan announced by Mark Carney and David Eby
00:14:38.920 to use up to $3 billion in taxpayer money to buy up to 2,200 vacant condo units and turn them into
00:14:46.580 affordable homes. How much of this is really a way of really helping out the industry versus
00:14:54.880 I think a bailout. Data from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation shows that as of last
00:15:00.700 month, there were more than 4,300 completed condos in Metro Vancouver sitting empty, a 76%
00:15:07.100 increase from the year before. Yan has crunched those numbers and found that a third of all those
00:15:13.060 empty condos are listed for over a million dollars. Mark Carney did not say if the government plans
00:15:18.780 to buy up units in bulk at below market value. One BC conservative MLA says red tape has driven
00:15:25.800 up the costs of construction. Only government can tax and regulate an industry into a crisis
00:15:32.340 and then give them a bailout. The head of BC's non-profit housing association is slamming the
00:15:38.260 province for giving handouts to developers months after it axed the community housing fund which
00:15:44.080 put thousands of shovel-ready affordable units in jeopardy. If they care public dollars to bail out
00:15:51.140 um the the condo market or the the private development sector i think frankly is a misuse
00:15:57.920 of of uh public funds neither the province nor ottawa has released details on which units to buy
00:16:05.220 and at how deep a discount so let me make something very clear here mark carney's own words he said
00:16:11.660 these developers don't want to sell at a loss so thus he will use our taxpayer funds to bail out
00:16:20.940 his developer buddies these developers that made an absolute killing over the last decade with our
00:16:28.040 mass immigration policies the the condos that they're trying to sell there's 30 of those condos
00:16:33.320 in the gva in the greater vancouver area are worth a million dollars these shoe boxes in the sky
00:16:38.740 and mark carney is supposed to be this economic wizard this maestro it doesn't take you to be a
00:16:46.220 genius to understand price discovery. Let it happen. Let the unsold condos continue to pile up
00:16:52.680 until there's capitulation and the developers will have to start reducing their prices.
00:16:56.860 But they never did start reducing their prices because they knew their lobbying and their friends
00:17:03.120 of the liberal government would bail them out. So if you are a young Canadian, okay,
00:17:09.340 your future has been sold out to the wealthy developers of this country, the friends of this
00:17:14.720 liberal government. This is just plain facts and true. It doesn't take an economic genius.
00:17:18.520 If he's so smart, he would realize this. But he is obviously doing this in the favor of the rich
00:17:26.600 and the wealthy. He is an elitist himself. This is economics 101, guys. Watch the big short.
00:17:34.340 It doesn't take a person like me to get behind a mic that has an accounting degree to tell you
00:17:38.440 this? This is basic demand supply. If he just let it continue, prices would come down,
00:17:45.280 affordability would increase, and the developers that can't make it happen would lose. If they
00:17:51.600 don't want to sell, they'll eventually capitulate and default. And that's on them. And that's part
00:17:56.100 of actually a properly working capitalist society. That's actually a good thing. You weed out the
00:18:02.080 developers that are not efficiently building, not set up efficiently to provide housing to
00:18:07.480 Canadians at market price. That's how you get to a proper functioning housing market. And here we
00:18:13.280 go again. Mark Carney, again, this liberal government will do everything to keep housing
00:18:19.720 prices artificially inflated so that you cannot support the life that you want to live in this
00:18:25.380 country. Like this is unbelievable to me. It's honestly, it's a huge slap in the face to
00:18:30.120 Canadians. And if you're a young voter, if you're a young voter, okay, look, it's okay to accept
00:18:36.540 that you made a mistake voting for this government.
00:18:38.460 You should be holding your MPs accountable, okay?
00:18:41.500 They're using your money
00:18:42.700 to make the cost of living in this country
00:18:44.900 higher for you than it needs to be on purpose
00:18:47.900 for the wealthy, for their friends.
00:18:49.740 There is no other explanation to this, okay?
00:18:52.660 Oh, some people will say,
00:18:53.700 oh, the developers, they can't go bankrupt.
00:18:55.580 It'll be systematic risk.
00:18:57.220 No, it will not be systematic risk.
00:18:59.320 There will be tons of opportunity.
00:19:00.980 Tons of people are looking to go ahead
00:19:02.480 and build businesses and develop.
00:19:03.820 Get rid of the ones that can't function properly
00:19:06.980 in an open and playing market.
00:19:09.780 Get rid of those ones.
00:19:11.260 But instead, they will bail them out with your money.
00:19:14.900 They will use your tax dollars.
00:19:16.560 You will foot the bill.
00:19:18.000 It's unbelievable.
00:19:19.380 It's unbelievable to me. 0.98
00:19:20.660 And I hope Canadians start waking up very soon 1.00
00:19:22.520 because you will not be able to afford anything anymore
00:19:25.660 in this country.
00:19:26.520 It's just the reality.
00:19:27.380 Food inflation just ticked up to 3.2%.
00:19:29.460 The cost of living is so incredibly high.
00:19:32.100 Wages have not kept up whatsoever.
00:19:33.820 I don't know how young people are doing it anymore.
00:19:36.680 And I, quite frankly, I have nephews.
00:19:39.180 I have friends that are between 18 to 25 years old.
00:19:42.900 They have no hope.
00:19:43.840 They have no hope to even buy a shoebox in the sky.
00:19:48.380 This is the reality of the Canadian dream
00:19:50.340 and what's happened under this Liberal Party. 0.96
00:19:52.140 It's so disgusting.
00:19:53.480 I just want to say thank you.
00:19:54.520 It's been a crazy week of recap.

00:20:01.800 again, the entire purpose of Sondra and Uncensored is we need to have open, honest debate and
00:20:06.800 dialogue. So if you disagree with anything I've said, I want to hear it in the comments.
00:20:11.160 This is something that's missing in mainstream media today. They only tell one side of the story
00:20:15.300 and my entire platform is now being built on the fact I want to hear everything. Canadians should
00:20:20.260 be afforded the right to hear everybody's perspective and make the judgment call themselves.
00:20:24.860 But this is my perspective. You're being robbed. We're all being robbed of a quality of life that
00:20:29.320 we should deserve in this country for the rich. That is what is happening. That's my perspective.
00:20:33.560 Try to convince me otherwise. And I want to say thank you for Juno News for supporting me.
00:20:37.260 They are my partner. They're the largest independent media organization in this country
00:20:40.740 that support that mission and objective to bring you independent perspectives that Canadians need
00:20:45.880 the most. So again, make sure you like it, make sure you subscribe, and I'll see you guys all next
00:20:49.780 week.
