00:00:00.000 Welcome everyone to Ratioed. My name is Harrison Faulkner. Well in the game of politics, getting
00:00:12.960 heckled at and listening to people boo you is just really the cost of doing business. But if
00:00:17.240 you're Justin Trudeau, getting yelled at and heckled at is a near daily occurrence at this
00:00:21.320 point. But even him, even Trudeau, probably wasn't expecting to get heckled while speaking at the
00:00:27.080 third anniversary memorial service of the downing of Flight 752. Even at a memorial service,
00:00:33.440 Canadians are still heckling the guy. The reality is this guy gets heckled wherever he goes,
00:00:43.700 whether it's in Toronto, at the Calgary Stampede, or even in London, England. It seems as though
00:00:48.080 there's nothing he can do to escape it. Drop a like in the video, help us out by subscribing to
00:00:52.360 the True North YouTube channel. And the comment question for the episode is this, what would you
00:00:56.500 like to see the Prime Minister and other politicians in this country do to lower the political
00:01:00.940 temperature? Let me know in the comments and let's get into it. Even while speaking at a memorial
00:01:05.460 service for the anniversary of the downing of Flight 752, Justin Trudeau couldn't escape the heckles
00:01:12.280 and jeers from Canadians in the crowd. Watch this. Majid Jahari, who is also a strong advocate for the
00:01:19.660 community. We are all working together at this federal level to hold the Iranian regime accountable. 0.83
00:01:29.360 We need closure in order to heal. And Iran's refusal to be held accountable is denying you that. 0.96
00:01:40.120 The Islamic Republic, Mr. Prime Minister, not Iran. Well said. 1.00
00:01:44.520 What you just saw there was Justin Trudeau receiving a chorus of boos and jeers from the
00:01:49.260 crowd at the memorial service for bringing up the name of Iranian-born liberal MP for Richmond Hill,
00:01:55.520 Majid Jahari. The main reason for the jeers is that Jahari's critics accused him of being soft on the
00:02:01.020 Islamic regime and for harboring ties with members of the regime in Canada. At a previous Flight 752
00:02:07.700 ceremony last year, event organizers prevented Jahari from speaking at the event. And in 2020,
00:02:14.760 Jahari was seen photographed with a man whom CESIS alleged assisted the government of Iran
00:02:20.560 in the clandestine wiring of monies into Canada. Now, after those photographs emerged,
00:02:25.920 Jahari responded by saying he was unaware of the CESIS allegations when the two met. And for bringing
00:02:31.420 up Johari's name, the crowd at the ceremony let Trudeau hear it. And after that, one attendee,
00:02:37.700 even interrupted the Prime Minister to remind him to be more specific in his criticism of the
00:02:42.060 Islamic regime, to not lump in Iran as a country, but focus his comments on the regime in particular.
00:02:48.720 I mean, this guy can't go anywhere without getting heckled. It's incredible. Even at a memorial
00:02:52.860 service where over 50 Canadians died, he's still getting yelled at. Incredible. Now, 2022 was no
00:02:59.220 better than 2021 for Trudeau. No matter what he did, no matter where he went, he just could not avoid
00:03:04.820 the constant heckling from Canadians. Now, freezing bank accounts and forcefully suppressing a peaceful
00:03:09.880 protest surely wouldn't be the kind of thing to help your cause with this, but hey, to each their
00:03:14.520 own, right? The federal government has invoked the Emergencies Act. And check this out. In his
00:03:22.560 year-end interview with CTV News, Trudeau stopped the interview with Omar Sachidino while they were
00:03:27.260 walking through a downtown Toronto street to approach a heckler and actually listen to what he had to say.
00:03:32.320 He actually engaged with the heckler face-to-face. While pretending to care what the man had to say
00:03:37.860 about Justin Trudeau's handling of the pandemic and mandates, the man then turned his comments to
00:03:43.360 Justin Trudeau's suppression of the Freedom Convoy. And right at that very second, right at that moment,
00:03:49.060 Justin Trudeau conveniently had to go on his merry way. Good timing, Justin.
00:03:53.540 Sir, why don't you come on over? Come on over. Sorry. So, what's your name? Do you have a first
00:04:00.300 name? I do. What's your first name? My name's Attila. Hello, Attila. I'm Justin. Yes. So,
00:04:04.580 what is your biggest concern right now? So, my biggest concern is all the restrictions that we
00:04:08.220 have at the borders. Uh-huh. The hassles that people have. I was detained coming back from Chicago.
00:04:13.840 Okay. And when was that? August. August. Okay. So, the restrictions were still in place at that
00:04:20.580 point. Correct. Are they all gone now? Most of them are absolutely gone. Yes. And they're going
00:04:24.460 to be gone for good? Well, that depends on COVID, doesn't it? Yeah. Right? Every step of the way,
00:04:28.960 we'll listen to science and doctors and that's what we need to get to it. So, you're thinking what
00:04:32.900 happened in Ottawa with the truckers was a good thing? No, it wasn't. It was a very difficult time for
00:04:38.080 citizens of Ottawa because it was also a difficult time for a lot of people who were worried about their
00:04:42.900 futures across the country. I was there. Uh-huh. It was one of the most peaceful places I've ever
00:04:46.720 been to. Well, you know what? There's an open investigation. There's a level of transparency
00:04:53.440 going on with the commission that will put out a report on whether you're right or me. Thank you,
00:04:58.420 sir. No matter where he went last year inside the country, Justin Trudeau was met with thunderous
00:05:03.280 heckles and extremely upset Canadians, leveling and hurling all types of verbal abuse at the man.
00:05:08.200 But then again, that's the job he chose to do. No one forced Trudeau to become the
00:05:12.580 Prime Minister and no one forced him to push divisive policies for the last two years,
00:05:18.080 telling a large subset of the population where, how, and when they can travel across their own
00:05:23.760 country and telling a large subset of the population that the views they hold are unacceptable and they
00:05:29.800 are a small fringe minority. I think heckles and verbal abuse, although not nice, although not polite,
00:05:36.060 and not something I personally endorse, should be expected. Take a look at how the Prime Minister
00:05:40.880 was received at the Calgary Stampede earlier last year.
00:05:57.380 Now, like I said at the beginning, heckling and jeering is to be expected when you're in politics,
00:06:02.460 especially when you're pushing divisive policies like mandates, lockdowns, and violent suppression
00:06:08.100 of peaceful protests. But nothing, I think, could prepare the Prime Minister for the reception he
00:06:12.960 received in the UK. There was a full-scale protest at the foot of Downing Street aimed specifically for
00:06:19.360 Trudeau, so much so that the Prime Minister had to use a back entrance to avoid having to go through
00:06:25.260 them. That's gotta hurt. Not even in your own country, but across the Atlantic Ocean, he still
00:06:31.180 couldn't escape the protesters.
00:06:34.040 And later on last year, when he went back to London for the Queen's funeral, Justin Trudeau was
00:06:43.140 yet again faced with a brutal heckler. This time, one man led the charge and really gave Justin Trudeau
00:06:50.700 a piece of his mind outside the Canadian Embassy. Just watch this clip. You've probably seen it before,
00:06:55.640 but we're already on this path, so let's just go back and watch it again. 0.98
00:06:59.500 Can I even hate you, you fascists? You fascist bastards, Trudeau! Can I get on your guts? 1.00
00:07:10.100 Bastard! Trudeau! Fascists! Fascists! Bastards! Fascists! We hate you, you son of a... 1.00
00:07:19.440 Come on! Get out of this country, you bastards! 1.00
00:07:23.560 Get out of this country, you bastards! 1.00
00:07:25.360 You bastard! 1.00
00:07:26.120 You bastard! 1.00
00:07:27.080 Undoubtedly, the worst heckling Justin Trudeau has ever faced came during the 2021 federal election, 1.00
00:07:33.320 where Canadians who weren't so pleased with the Prime Minister and the federal government
00:07:37.180 made it an absolute mission of theirs to greet the Prime Minister at every single campaign
00:07:42.040 stop he made on the campaign trail.
00:07:44.280 No more lockdowns! No more lockdowns!
00:08:00.000 No more lockdowns!
00:08:02.120 Please, don't goivesse!
00:08:05.840 No more lockdowns!
00:08:07.320 Children? Are you here to unfast our children?
00:08:21.840 What about the forced vaccination in our... What about the forced vaccination in our children?
00:08:27.700 Please get vaccinated, please get vaccinated.
00:08:31.700 Are you here campaigning to unmask our children?
00:08:33.700 Please get vaccinated.
00:08:35.700 Are you here campaigning to stop the fourth vaccination? 1.00
00:08:39.700 You're garbage below. 1.00
00:08:43.700 You have to do that for a minute. 0.99
00:08:47.700 Now, if any of you are watching this and are feeling sad or concerned for Justin Trudeau's feelings, I wouldn't worry too much.
00:09:06.700 Justin Trudeau is quite used to it by now.
00:09:08.700 Back in 1982, Justin Trudeau would get the first taste of what would become almost a monthly occurrence for him today.
00:09:15.700 In 1982, while accompanying his father, Pierre Trudeau, on a cross-country train trip, Pierre and Justin were greeted at almost every single stop by Canadians hurling lettuce and eggs at the train car.
00:09:27.700 Because of this, the press hilariously dubbed Pierre Trudeau's private train the Caesar Salad Express.
00:09:34.700 The egg-spattered train carrying vacationing Prime Minister Trudeau has been dubbed the Caesar Salad Express.
00:09:42.700 But nothing could have prepared the Prime Minister for the greetings he got in Northern Ontario.
00:09:46.700 In Shaplow, it was a warm welcome, baskets of eggs and bouquets of flowers.
00:09:51.700 But in Sudbury, it was back to making salads.
00:09:54.700 It was the largest and probably the most unfriendly crowd on Trudeau's trip.
00:09:58.700 Hundreds of angry people hurled insults, tomatoes, and eggs at the private car carrying Trudeau and his three sons.
00:10:05.700 When the tomatoes and eggs ran out, they started throwing rock.
00:10:08.700 For many, Trudeau's visit was a chance to vent their anger over the economy.
00:10:12.700 Well, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
00:10:16.700 All right, that's going to do it for us this week on the show.
00:10:18.700 Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:10:19.700 My name is Harrison Faulkner, and this is Ratio.
