Olivia Chow swept to power last night as the new mayor of Toronton, Canada s largest city. She represents the urban status quo: high taxes, drug decriminalization, safe supply, and soft on crime. Those are the pillars of her campaign, and the pillars the city of Toronto and every other major city it appears in canada have been embracing for the past five or six years.

00:00:14.320 and cp24 declares an olivia chow win olivia chow will be the new mayor of toronto these
00:00:24.520 are live pictures inside chow headquarters there the ultra progressive socialist candidate
00:00:29.620 for mayor olivia chow swept to power last night as the new mayor of canada's largest city say what
00:00:35.940 you will about chow and we certainly will on the show chow's victory caps off a remarkable political
00:00:41.340 comeback after she finished a distant third place in 2014 for the same job and lost in 2015 to become 0.99
00:00:47.880 a member of parliament in a downtown toronto riding after declaring chow the victor of last
00:00:53.060 night's mayoral by-election the canadian legacy media immediately proceeded to do what they usually do
00:00:58.320 when a progressive candidate wins fawn over them and start talking about race and i just want to
00:01:03.800 add something you know olivia chow just made history she's the first woman of color she's the first
00:01:09.000 woman to be elected mayor of toronto she speaks with an accent you know so many torontonians see
00:01:15.360 themselves represented in olivia chow that's really important to pick up on chris and i'll come to you
00:01:20.060 for this she's also the first racialized mayor in toronto's history the media since this race began 0.99
00:01:26.060 have painted olivia chow as a change candidate the reality couldn't be further from that statement
00:01:32.100 chow is not a change candidate in fact chow unlike all the other candidates in the race represents the
00:01:39.220 urban status quo high taxes drug decriminalization safe supply and soft on crime those are the pillars
00:01:47.760 of olivia chow's campaign and the pillars of what the city of toronto and every other major city it
00:01:54.420 appears in canada have been embracing for the past five or six years now
00:01:58.960 you know someone should really bring up the rather uncomfortable fact that during the election olivia
00:02:06.000 chow was seen meeting with the toronto fuching business association a group that global news
00:02:12.080 alleged last year was operating overseas communist chinese police stations in markham ontario well not to
00:02:19.620 worry we're going to bring that up on this show and much more drop a like on the video help us out by
00:02:23.940 subscribing to the true north youtube channel and the comment question for the episode is this what
00:02:29.040 is going to happen to toronto over the next four years let me know in the comments and let's get
00:02:34.640 into it on the very first morning after olivia chow swept to power as mayor of toronto a shooting
00:02:40.780 outside of a daycare center at 7 30 in the morning in the heart of downtown toronto took place is there
00:02:47.260 anything more symbolic than that a shooting outside of a daycare center to welcome the new soft on crime
00:02:53.800 mayor olivia chow when i say soft on crime i mean that the word crime is not mentioned anywhere in
00:03:02.200 olivia chow's very thin platform you know what is mentioned in olivia chow's platform however
00:03:07.060 improving 9-1-1 wait times not by of course expanding the number of police to guarantee that police can show
00:03:14.820 up in an emergency no of course not that would be far too logical her plan to solve 9-1-1 wait times
00:03:21.560 is to increase the number of community social workers that can respond to emergency calls the
00:03:27.300 new mayor of toronto thankfully recognizes that something needs to be done about the ttc about the
00:03:32.280 transit system in canada's largest city solving crime on the ttc however just didn't seem to make
00:03:38.360 it into olivia chow's platform the fact that cold-blooded murders like that of vanessa kirpieska 0.97
00:03:44.620 31 year old woman killed with an ice pick on a subway in broad daylight that might be an issue for
00:03:50.540 you but not for olivia chow how about the fatal stabbing of 16 year old gabriel magalays on a friday
00:03:57.340 night waiting for a bus outside of a subway station again that might be a problem for you but not for
00:04:02.700 olivia chow this is to say nothing at all over the far too often murder of ttc service workers simply
00:04:10.620 because they happen to be working in the ttc the problem for olivia chow seems to be that the ttc
00:04:16.700 subway system isn't running fast enough and that buses are just too full sure that of course should
00:04:22.300 be the goal for most transit systems subways should run on time especially when it costs over three
00:04:27.580 dollars to get in there but when torontonians have to fear for their life while taking the streetcar and
00:04:33.900 subway i think there are probably some larger problems at hand if you have visited toronto over the
00:04:39.660 past three years or you happen to be one of the unfortunate people who live in downtown you will
00:04:44.540 have likely noticed that toronto's once beloved and once great parks have been completely taken over
00:04:51.580 by tent encampments inside of these tent cities which don't just happen to be inside toronto but are
00:04:57.500 now a staple of vancouver crime runs rampant and drug use is not just prevalent but it looks as though
00:05:05.020 it's encouraged thanks in large part to the city of toronto embracing safe injection safe supply and
00:05:12.380 drug decriminalization which is now almost a certainty thanks to olivia chow becoming mayor city of toronto
00:05:19.500 public health facilities along with any city of toronto shelter are handing out free drug starter
00:05:25.900 kits these include a bag full of needles crack pipes crystal meth kits everything you would want to
00:05:32.220 become hooked on drugs the city of toronto is giving for free not to mention of course the fact
00:05:37.980 that the city of toronto is handing out hydromorphone a more potent heroin alternative
00:05:43.500 to addicts as a way to wean them off of drugs as i've also mentioned on this show before the city of
00:05:49.900 toronto public health department has submitted a proposal to the federal government seeking an exemption
00:05:55.820 to decriminalize the possession of all hard drugs of any amount for any age that's right anyone
00:06:03.340 including a child could walk around the city of toronto with fentanyl or crack or heroin and the
00:06:09.500 police would be able to do nothing about it this is supposed to as people like olivia chow and the 1.00
00:06:14.620 federal government always remind us save lives but everyone should stop their concern why are we getting
00:06:22.700 so worked up over olivia chow becoming mayor despite the fact that feces from homeless people will cover
00:06:29.020 our streets along with needles and crack pipes all you'll have to do is just dodge the feces and crack 0.90
00:06:35.180 pipes on your way to the library on sunday that's right one of olivia chow's key policies when running 0.99
00:06:41.660 for mayor was to open up toronto's public libraries on sundays a fantastic proposal which will most certainly
00:06:49.100 change the city's fortunes also olivia chow is without a doubt the undisputed champion of bike
00:06:55.420 lanes these bike lanes will become a permanent fixture on our streets especially during the winter months
00:07:01.740 when for six months of the year not a single person is using those bike lanes but again we shouldn't be
00:07:07.580 so concerned because one of olivia chow's key platform policies is to champion the arts in toronto
00:07:13.980 olivia chow has a plan to make toronto more of an arts and culture destination in fact in olivia chow's
00:07:21.740 arts and culture policy she even makes a plan to cut taxes for arts and culture hubs while increasing
00:07:29.740 taxes for everyone else don't worry about needles crack pipes and tent cities in toronto parks because
00:07:37.660 for a quarter of the year olivia chow is going to increase the number of patios outside of toronto 0.97
00:07:43.180 restaurants just like opening up libraries on sundays she's really grabbing the issues of the
00:07:48.300 day by the horns isn't she olivia chow also plans to build 25 000 rent controlled homes on city land 1.00
00:07:57.020 that's her words i'm not exactly sure where she's going to find the space to do that but of course
00:08:02.860 something that nobody is mentioning is that olivia chow is beloved by city developers she is without a 0.88
00:08:09.420 doubt the developer candidate because she has plans to build more than any other candidate following a 0.98
00:08:14.700 pattern in canadian politics the developer's choice always seems to win isn't that interesting this
00:08:20.460 brings us now to olivia chow the new mayor of toronto's alleged close connections with the fuching
00:08:27.020 business association of toronto you see in early may olivia chow is allegedly seen meeting with the
00:08:34.460 fuching business association in toronto trying to get their support for her mayoral candidacy in a
00:08:41.020 global news report from last year the canada toronto fuching business association was accused of
00:08:47.420 operating one of those overseas communist chinese police stations according to a national post article
00:08:54.140 chow also met with the group called the council of newcomer organizations this same organization is a
00:09:00.460 pro-china group that has denied the uyghur genocide and opposed hong kong's pro-freedom protests
00:09:06.620 interestingly a spokeswoman for the chow campaign confirmed that chow was not even invited to this
00:09:12.700 council of newcomers organization meeting and that that council had not endorsed chow for mayor but that
00:09:18.780 she showed up on her own and brought greetings to say that these connections in these meetings that
00:09:24.540 olivia chow held before the election would not be newsworthy is of course ridiculous because everyone
00:09:30.380 in canada deserves to be able to have these conversations and weigh these facts however
00:09:34.220 uncomfortable they might be but if it's true that olivia chow the most soft on crime candidate in the 1.00
00:09:39.580 election a person who wants to not increase more police officers but instead hire crisis support
00:09:46.300 workers to handle 911 calls was in fact dealing with an organization running chinese police stations
00:09:53.180 the irony just has to be raised and has to be laughed at doesn't it a soft on crime mayor meeting with
00:09:59.100 a group that is running chinese police stations in canada all right everyone that's going to do it for
00:10:03.900 us today on the show thank you so much for tuning in my name is harrison faulkner and this is ratio
