00:00:17.280 welcome everyone to another monday edition of ratioed my name is harrison faulkner what do you
00:00:22.000 do if you work in the trudeau government and you want to solve the non-existent problem
00:00:25.760 of racism in canadian broadcasting if your answer was to hire the most racist person you could find
00:00:30.640 on the internet and give them over 130 000 of taxpayer money well you'd be spot on next on the
00:00:37.040 show they really want us to eat bugs guys i don't think anyone is doubting that now and it turns out
00:00:41.920 that in manitoba for being a good student you and your class members get to take home a big bag of
00:00:47.680 barbecue flavored crickets sounds like i'm lying but i'm not i swear we have video footage of that
00:00:53.360 and we will get to it on the show we wrap up the show with the ratio of the week award as we always
00:00:57.760 do and this week it is going to a very deserving winner a winner who really wanted to take home the
00:01:03.520 award this week her name of course as you all know is bonita zurillo she's a bc ndp mp and she just had
00:01:10.000 the thought of getting rid of indoor ice hockey rinks in canada to solve climate change what do you guys
00:01:16.560 think of that let me know in the comments what do you think canadians of getting in getting rid of
00:01:20.640 indoor ice hockey rinks in the name of climate change something a good idea let me know you
00:01:25.520 know how it goes with youtube they want nothing more than to censor this video and make sure
00:01:29.520 canadians like you aren't able to see it so help us out by giving this video a like and sharing it and
00:01:34.560 if you're feeling generous consider donating to us at donate.tnc.news all right let's get into it if
00:01:40.640 you're plugged into canadian politics on social media it's likely that you've come across the name
00:01:44.960 late maroof late maroof is a senior consultant at a group called the canadian media advocacy
00:01:50.480 center now this cmac want to try and eradicate the non-existent problem of racism in canadian
00:01:56.640 broadcasting and they want to eradicate racism by implementing anti-racism which as we all know is
00:02:02.960 just racism but toward the right group of people because in today's society as we all know it's
00:02:07.920 okay to be racist just so long as you're racist against a particular group of people so this group
00:02:13.280 cmac in their efforts to try and eradicate racism from canadian broadcasting have set up a series of
00:02:20.080 events six sort of town hall style events across the country titled building an anti-racism strategy
00:02:26.400 for canadian broadcasting conversation and convergence trudeau's liberal government of
00:02:31.920 course not wanting to miss this great opportunity to advance anti-racism jumped at the chance to help
00:02:38.160 fund this group so the department of canadian heritage the one government department which has
00:02:42.400 probably done more to damage can heritage than any other department well they have given this group and
00:02:48.080 lathe maroof 130 000 133 000 to be exact to help them put on this event now here is where it gets 0.67
00:02:57.920 a little interesting someone at canadian heritage either thinks we're too stupid to do any research 0.84
00:03:03.680 or is so inept at their job that they didn't even bother to look at this guy on social media because it 0.96
00:03:10.080 turns out lathe maroof is probably the most anti-semitic person you've ever come across on social media for 0.93
00:03:15.840 what seems to be quite a few years this guy lathe maroof has been tweeting blatant anti-semitic and
00:03:21.760 blatantly racist comments on twitter and and having no problem hiding it either i mean he he's quite
00:03:28.080 confident in himself quite brazen in his racism i gotta say if there's one thing i'll give it to
00:03:32.960 lathe maroof it is that he seems to not have any fear whatsoever of putting out what he has to say
00:03:39.040 and let me tell you it is unbelievable i'm not going to read all the comments that he has made about jews
00:03:44.080 because it's frankly not appropriate for this show it's that bad but there are a couple of them that 0.92
00:03:48.240 i want to just highlight because it really goes to show you just how inept the people that canadian 1.00
00:03:53.440 heritage are of course it's extremely wrong for this guy to be a racist anti-semite it's even worse 0.82
00:04:00.880 when taxpayer money goes into this guy's pocket to try and eradicate racism this is what this so-called 0.99
00:04:08.480 anti-racist consultant has to say about jews quote you know all those loud-mouthed bags of human feces 1.00
00:04:16.720 aka the jewish white supremacists when we liberate palestine and they have to go back to where they 1.00
00:04:22.320 came from they will return to being low-voiced of their christian secular white supremacist masters 0.97
00:04:29.680 how nice he also doesn't know how to spell there or how about this tweet quote i have a motto life is 0.98
00:04:35.360 too short for shoes with laces or for entertaining jewish white supremacists with anything but a bullet
00:04:40.720 to the head so this guy that the government is giving money to to solve racism in canadian broadcasting 0.99
00:04:47.040 tweets about jews as human bags of feces and tweets about the idea of bullets in the heads of jews 0.97
00:04:54.000 so this guy who is probably the most blatant anti-semite online at least in canada is now leading 0.97
00:05:00.000 an effort to eradicate racism in canadian broadcasting unbelievable so again this funding
00:05:06.000 is coming from the department of canadian heritage and i guess one of the ministers that works out of
00:05:11.520 the department of canadian heritage is the minister of diversity because of course canada has a minister
00:05:16.720 of diversity and a few days after these tweets became public the minister of diversity obviously
00:05:23.280 sensing that someone in his in his department screwed up so badly that he may end up having to
00:05:28.800 resign from his position this guy said he would probe the decision so he'd launch an investigation
00:05:35.280 into how this could have possibly happened that was a couple days ago then yesterday on sunday
00:05:40.240 knowing that canadians were really upset about this knowing that this guy and his group were still
00:05:44.800 getting that funding from the federal government he put out a damage control statement which has been
00:05:50.240 absolutely grilled i mean this guy is really facing the heat for it and this is being recorded on
00:05:56.400 sunday so by the time you watch this there may have been new developments in the story
00:06:09.440 but this is what the statement reads that he put out on sunday as i've stated numerous times and it
00:06:14.080 bears repeating anti-semitism hate and racism of any kind have absolutely no place in canada
00:06:19.280 the reprehensible and vile comments made by this individual go against everything our government
00:06:24.000 and our country stand for my team and i are working to rectify this matter immediately which
00:06:28.800 we take extremely seriously and i want to read some of the comments from the statement because
00:06:32.480 he's absolutely getting roasted here we have this one why minister of inclusion have you failed to
00:06:37.440 include the individual's name yes i forgot to tell you see ahmed hassan he's not just the minister of
00:06:41.840 diversity in canada he's the minister of diversity and inclusion because as you know it's super important
00:06:47.920 here in canada that we have a minister of diversity and inclusion it's really one of our top pressing
00:06:52.960 issues we have another one here maybe you can hire another anti-racism consultant to deal with your
00:06:57.840 racist anti-racism consultants what a joke this government is and this one too what individual
00:07:03.360 minister and what do you mean you're working to rectify the situation it's not a situation 0.94
00:07:07.760 it's an unacceptable dumpster fire that your government started take a hose to it and dump him
00:07:12.080 immediately this guy leith maroof who's an expert in anti-racism i guess describes himself on linkedin as
00:07:18.080 disrupting settler colonialism and depression in the media since 1999. i guess in the eyes of leith
00:07:25.040 maroof and perhaps in the eyes of the department of canadian heritage disrupting settler colonialism
00:07:30.400 and oppression in the media includes being a raging anti-semite and saying the worst things about
00:07:36.800 jews in canada now if you're like me the idea of eating bugs sounds a lot like a punishment
00:07:41.840 right like one of those things you definitely don't want to do not something you do if you had
00:07:45.600 the choice the only thing you do if you know your family was starving you were struggling there's
00:07:50.640 only so much food to go around you that if you eat the crickets then you could give some of the
00:07:54.400 food to your family under those circumstances you would eat bugs right what if i told you in
00:07:59.040 manitoba eating bugs is actually seen as a reward yes a small little municipality called pembina
00:08:05.600 valley in manitoba has a thing called the classroom of the month award if your classroom
00:08:10.880 wins the classroom of the month award every student in that classroom gets a little gift basket
00:08:15.600 and in that gift basket is a big bag of barbecue flavored crickets that's your reward for winning
00:08:21.840 the classroom of the month award these poor kids they just wanted to be good students they just wanted
00:08:25.280 to you know engage in class put their hand up ask questions be good students and for that they get
00:08:30.720 to eat crickets barbecue flavored crickets so there's a video of this on twitter it's going viral
00:08:35.280 right now it's clearly a few months old because they're all wearing like sweaters and all that
00:08:39.520 and they're all wearing masks in the school but it's ridiculous it's going viral i want to show you
00:08:43.760 this video it's so it's so sad can you imagine being one of those kids just wants to be a good student
00:08:48.000 and in return you get to eat the bugs watch this
00:08:54.240 so there's this prairie cricket farm in manitoba they're called prairie cricket farms oh look at this
00:09:01.360 guy the guy serving the kids crickets is sitting there with his little mask on looking all jazz
00:09:08.480 looking all happy to serve these kids crickets and what they do is they farm crickets and they put
00:09:14.480 them in nice little bags and then you can eat then you can eat the crickets we were conspiracy theorists
00:09:21.760 guys we were a conspiracy theorist for this
00:09:30.720 none of the kids want to eat the bugs none of the kids want to eat the bugs
00:09:38.960 look you heard one of them say i don't even want this we just want to be good students
00:09:42.720 these poor kids with their masks on they they have to keep their masks on in between they can take their
00:09:47.200 mask off to eat the bugs and then put the mask back on oh my god you can't even make it up

00:12:41.120 now i try not to expect too much from the ndp and this is a divided country so the one way you can 0.85
00:12:45.520 unite this divided country right now is to try and come after hockey see what happens see how canadians
00:12:51.440 take it when you try and ask us if we should get rid of indoor ice and what replace it with some
00:12:55.840 plastic replace it with some fake ice so we can rollerblade bonita got so badly ratioed guys she 0.97
00:13:08.960 deleted the tweet the same day she fired this one off in the morning and by what 11 a.m she had
00:13:14.160 pulled it because she knew this was this was going to be on the show you've given the award to people
00:13:17.680 who have deleted their ratio tweets before it all counts the same bonita you got a screenshot here i

00:13:33.760 funny ones that you guys commented on my tweet here's this guy is indoor heating and cooling
00:13:39.200 really needed just live in a tent on the land walk to work actually don't work or how about this one
00:13:44.640 hey bonita why don't you ponder the damage your new leader justin trudeau has done to the hard 0.98
00:13:48.720 working canadians your party used to support how about this one holy crap how could someone like this 0.59
00:13:53.200 get a single vote let alone elected hey bonita here's an idea instead of telling canadians to pay more 0.77
00:13:59.360 for gas pay more for heating and cooling their homes instead of telling albertans to just transition
00:14:05.200 away from oil and gas you know instead of telling us to change our lives how about you tell china and
00:14:12.720 india to actually do something about the climate there there's not one single thing a canadian
00:14:18.160 government could do that will have any impact on the climate whatsoever and i don't think you're all 0.91
00:14:23.200 that dumb to not realize that that's why i think what you're doing is actually quite sinister and 0.88
00:14:27.120 quite dangerous so until you start calling out china and india how about you leave hockey our 0.99
00:14:32.480 national game to us anyway guys i think there's a snowball's chance in hell that that message is
00:14:37.040 going to get to bonita and her colleagues at the ndp caucus but whatever we can try don't come after
