00:00:00.000 this teacher, after being the laughingstock of the world,
00:00:03.520 showed up to school on Monday. Unbelievable.
00:00:12.720 Welcome everyone to Ratioed. My name is Harrison Falk. Norella, if there was ever a week that
00:00:17.180 exemplified why this show exists, why Ratioed exists, this past week certainly was it. You
00:00:23.780 see, before our Prime Minister was the butt end of the world's jokes for getting caught once again
00:00:28.300 embarrassing us in the world stage, Canada's education system was put on full display for
00:00:32.660 the world to see and for the world to laugh at when a Oakville high school teacher was seen teaching
00:00:38.560 a shop class wearing giant prosthetic breasts. We're going to go into the details of this story 0.86
00:00:43.880 and you'll quickly realize that actually it's way worse than you think it is. That actually
00:00:48.500 this sort of thing is being protected and almost, you could argue, facilitated by Ontario's woke
00:00:54.880 progressive school boards. We'll be getting into all of that on the show and for the Ratio
00:00:59.240 of the Week award, I think guys, the winner this week has the biggest ratio we've ever highlighted
00:01:04.520 on the program. I don't think anyone has ever come close to the like to comment margin we're looking
00:01:10.340 at here for the winner of the award. So no need to worry, no need to fret. The award is going to a
00:01:15.160 very deserving winner, as it always does. Drop a like on the video and share it. And the common
00:01:19.000 question for this episode is this, how will Justin Trudeau embarrass Canada on the world stage next?
00:01:24.240 We've seen the dramatic singing by the piano in London. We've seen the costumes in India.
00:01:29.100 What will we see next? What will Justin Trudeau do to embarrass us next on the world stage?
00:01:33.920 And if you're feeling generous, consider donating to us at donate.tnc.news. The link is in the
00:01:39.140 description of this video. All right, let's get into it. I never had the opportunity to take a shop
00:01:43.420 class when I was in high school, so I'm really no expert on what a shop teacher might look like.
00:01:47.440 But I'm sure many of you in the comments when you were in high school did take a shop class and
00:01:51.260 have had that experience. So you tell me in the comments, when you took a shop class,
00:01:55.600 did your shop teacher look like this? Now the man you see on your screen right now is Oakville
00:02:00.060 Trafalgar High School teacher Kayla Lemieux. That's the name this man is using as he is transitioning to
00:02:06.680 become a female while teaching a shop class in Oakville. Now this man, as you can very clearly
00:02:12.380 see, is wearing giant prosthetic breasts while teaching this class. This was the first video
00:02:18.460 of a series of photographs and videos of this teacher teaching this class because the students
00:02:23.880 obviously knew what they were doing. They took photos, videos, and it obviously went viral
00:02:27.880 instantly around the world. This teacher, keep in mind, has to walk through the main doors of the
00:02:33.160 school. You would think probably walk by many students before getting to the school, walk by the
00:02:39.640 principal of this school, get past all the teachers, and then into the classroom before his
00:02:45.220 class starts. At no point did anyone say, hey, you know, maybe we're just going to sub you out and
00:02:51.260 we're going to deal with this situation before this gets out of hand, before we turn our school board
00:02:55.460 into the punchline of the world's jokes. You'd think that might happen, but no, of course not,
00:03:01.120 because this is Canada. This man was able to walk straight through the school, into the school,
00:03:05.240 into his classroom, and teach his class. But you know, you can still rectify a mistake once it's
00:03:10.620 been made. You can still make the right move after the mistake. You can recognize you made an error
00:03:15.300 and then quickly solve the problem. This would be an easy slam dunk. For a sane, normal school board,
00:03:21.120 it would be an easy slam dunk. Easy to handle, fired. Nowhere to be seen, never to be seen at an
00:03:26.160 Ontario school again. After all, what you're watching is a man displaying his sexual fantasies 0.72
00:03:30.860 in front of students, public students. A man who earns money as a public school teacher off the
00:03:36.280 public dime. But of course, like they missed the chance the first opportunity, they missed the
00:03:41.280 chance the second opportunity. Kayla Lemieux, this teacher, after being the laughingstock of the world,
00:03:47.700 showed up to school on Monday. And he taught his class on Monday. Unbelievable. At no point the
00:03:54.040 school board decided that they should maybe sub in a real woodworking teacher, a real shop teacher,
00:03:58.700 whose giant prosthetic breasts wouldn't be a safety hazard while teaching the class. No, 1.00
00:04:03.700 they didn't decide that. In fact, they decided that it would be fine for this teacher to teach
00:04:06.520 the class on Monday, after the weekend. And the school itself has decided to go silent in their
00:04:13.280 communications to very upset parents and very upset citizens, people who want answers. You see,
00:04:19.040 the school board is not prepared to give them any because they're too busy defending this teacher.
00:04:23.380 The Toronto Sun story states, when the story first went viral, it was after students at Oakville
00:04:27.620 Trafalgar High School posted a number of pictures and videos to social media. Margot Shuttleworth,
00:04:32.340 chair of the school board, told the Sun's Joe Warmington that they were standing behind the teacher
00:04:37.160 in the name of protecting gender rights. You see, it's not about protecting students. It's not about
00:04:42.960 creating a safe environment for students to learn. No, no, it's to protect their gender ideology. 1.00
00:04:48.740 It's to protect, quote, gender rights. You can see exactly where Ontario's schools are heading.
00:04:54.180 Now, of course, the Halton District School Board, the school board that oversees Oakville Trafalgar
00:04:58.180 High School, is a real school board. They have a dress code, which they supposedly enforce for
00:05:03.280 students and staff. Funny, however, that at no point has the school board enforced the dress code
00:05:09.960 for this male teacher, Kayla Lemieux. In the dress code for the Halton District School Board,
00:05:14.620 it states very clearly, at the bottom here, dress codes must prevent students from wearing clothing
00:05:19.520 that exposes or makes visible genitals or nipples. Now, you tell me, guys, in this video here, if you
00:05:24.960 think this teacher, Kayla Lemieux, violates the Halton District School Board dress code. Of course, 1.00
00:05:30.340 it's ratioed, so we have to show how the rest of the world mocked this country and mocked this
00:05:35.080 situation. This is what Tucker Carlson, the most-watched news anchor in the United States,
00:05:38.740 had to say about this situation. There's no question about it. This is the guy in the van
00:05:43.860 trying to give your sixth-grader candy. This is the flasher in the park. This guy is a pervert.
00:05:49.360 He should not be within 500 yards of children, period. He's a threat to children. 1.00
00:05:56.900 Now, there have always been threats to children. In every society, there are people like this.
00:06:00.780 And every society deals with them swiftly and very harshly, but no longer in the West. Now,
00:06:06.560 people like this are not punished. They are celebrated and then protected. Trafalgar High
00:06:11.660 School, which is public, it's funded by Canadian taxpayers, is vigorously defending his behavior
00:06:16.920 and threatening anyone who notices. So is the Halton District School Board, which oversees the school.
00:06:22.400 They just sent us this statement, and we're quoting,
00:06:24.000 The school board recognizes the rights of the parents, staff, students, guardians, community
00:06:30.480 members, to equitable treatment without discrimination based upon gender identity and
00:06:35.200 gender expression. Gender identity and gender expression are protected grounds under the Ontario
00:06:41.920 Human Rights Code. Oh, the Human Rights Code? Really? We're the rights of the kids. There are none.
00:06:47.720 Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire and of the documentary, What is a Woman, also, of course,
00:06:51.860 had to get in on the action. Now, when you hear that it's said that the fake breasts he's wearing
00:06:58.460 are oversized, I think then, if we put it that way, we are engaging in severe understatement.
00:07:04.500 He is, in fact, wearing prosthetic breasts the size of, like, hot air balloons. His inner woman 0.99
00:07:10.480 is apparently nine feet tall and weighs 800 pounds by the looks of it. In fact, his inner woman seems to
00:07:16.100 be literally bursting out of his stomach, like that scene from Alien. Now, and we can make jokes about
00:07:21.300 this because it's totally absurd, but actually, it's not very funny. The kids in his class are
00:07:27.060 not, as you heard from one of the kids, they're not comfortable, and how could they be?
00:07:30.980 They're the victims of sexual harassment here, and they're not going to be getting any help from
00:07:35.620 the school. As Redux reports in a follow-up, quote, the Ontario high school, at the center of a
00:07:40.680 controversy for having a male teacher, a male teaching young students while donning a large
00:07:45.300 prosthetic bust, has issued a full defense of the teacher in newly leaked emails sent to parents.
00:07:50.600 Now, when this story broke, of course, I think every single person in the United States
00:07:54.400 knew what was coming next. Alex Stein, the U.S. comedian who's made a career out of mocking
00:07:59.400 school board meetings and council meetings, made his inaugural strike on Canada when he
00:08:03.740 joined in to have his say on the Halton District School Board council meeting. Take a look at what
00:08:08.760 you had to say. Hey, guys. I just want to say, you know, my student, one of my students made fun of
00:08:17.280 one of my co-workers because she decided to wear pathetic breath and go into school. And I just 0.96
00:08:23.980 want to talk about the bigotry and the racism that people are facing, especially these young kids.
00:08:29.140 We have a whole culture of transphobia. Now, we have the idea that, oh, people are more accepting
00:08:33.760 of the gender reassignment surgery or hormone replacement therapy, but that's not the case. 0.91
00:08:39.600 So my colleague, when she came in to class, people were calling her big boobs, kazangas and all these 0.85
00:08:47.380 perverted words, but they were saying it in a way that was very derogatory and almost non-sexual, 0.96
00:08:53.060 meaning that it was still safe for school. And as an administrator, as a faculty member,
00:08:58.360 I cannot stand here and let transphobia be infected into our youth. Because listen,
00:09:04.700 if somebody want to walk in to our school and they want to have big, big prosthetic breasts, 1.00
00:09:09.220 we need to encourage that. We need more people wearing prosthetic breasts. I mean, 1.00
00:09:13.200 if you look at like guys like Jeffrey Epstein, he was a bad guy and he was a child predator.
00:09:18.140 And I know he flew with, you know, Bill Clinton 26 times on the Lolita Express,
00:09:22.200 but they had a good point. Jeffrey Epstein had a good point is that everybody likes breath.
00:09:27.320 And I think the teacher was trying to talk about breath.
00:09:30.600 Excuse me, sir.
00:09:31.720 Here's Canada's prime minister representing Canada on the world stage,
00:09:35.140 attending the funeral for Canada's late head of state.
00:09:52.000 Honestly, is there anything worse than hearing Justin Trudeau sing that part of Bohemian Rhapsody?
00:09:55.900 Look, I imagine the person filming this, whoever got this clip, by the way,
00:09:59.640 thank you for your service to this country. So in a very flamboyant and in a very dramatic way,
00:10:04.540 our prime minister, who's again, a totally serious person, was seen there singing Bohemian Rhapsody
00:10:10.360 while attending the funeral for Queen Elizabeth II. And it's a good thing that our prime minister
00:10:14.960 hasn't lost touch with his dramatic roots, with his former occupation as a drama teacher at a high
00:10:21.140 school. He really goes full Freddie Mercury there, doesn't he? He really dips down low to hit those
00:10:25.800 notes and really embraces singing as if no one in the room is watching. Unfortunately for Justin
00:10:31.480 Trudeau and for all of Canada, that clip surfaced the day of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral. He just
00:10:37.740 knows exactly when to embarrass us and he has a special skill at picking the perfect time. This is
00:10:42.300 how the legacy media, conveniently the legacy media that Trudeau bought off to run cover for him when he
00:10:47.340 makes errors in the world stage. This is how the legacy media tried to defend dear leader Justin.
00:10:52.080 They first started off by saying that the video itself was fake. The video was from months ago at
00:10:56.400 the Jubilee. You see, look at the length of his hair, look at the cars in the background. It's
00:11:01.100 clearly from months ago. Then when that turned out to be fake and the PMO confirmed that it was a true
00:11:05.780 video, the next line of attack was actually, you see, it's not that bad because Justin Trudeau was doing
00:11:11.000 this on Saturday night, not Sunday night. It wasn't the eve of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral. It was the day
00:11:16.200 before that. So it makes it all the better. Justin Trudeau was doing this on a Saturday, not a Sunday.
00:11:20.880 Then when that turned out to be false too, the line became actually, Justin Trudeau is doing this in
00:11:27.440 tribute to Queen Elizabeth II. His drunken singing of Bohemian Rhapsody in the most flamboyant and dramatic
00:11:32.600 way possible was actually to tribute Canada's late head of state, Queen Elizabeth. It was actually to
00:11:38.520 memorialize the great Queen Elizabeth. Then of course, when that also failed, the final line of attack
00:11:44.580 was, ah, why are we talking about this anyway? So it's a non-story. Why is our prime minister
00:11:48.920 being mocked for this? CBC's Aaron Weary wrote on Twitter, I refuse to believe that anyone truly
00:11:54.600 and genuinely cares about the prime minister singing in a hotel lobby on Saturday night.
00:11:58.360 So that's the last measure, the last line of defense is to just say, this is a non-story.
00:12:02.900 We shouldn't be talking about it. TikTok girl rushed in to try and say that the video itself
00:12:07.660 needed to be fact-checked. It wasn't actually real. It was on the Saturday night. It wasn't at the
00:12:11.540 Savoy Hotel. It was at another very expensive hotel. Toronto stars Althea Raj saying,
00:12:16.880 I feel very privileged to live in a country where the most controversial thing to have happened today
00:12:20.260 is footage of the prime minister singing on Saturday night with a Quebec icon in the lobby of a hotel
00:12:25.060 while in London for the Queen's funeral. Hashtag perspective. The best part to me though was all
00:12:30.500 the legacy media outlets saying that his flamboyant singing of Bohemian Rhapsody was in tribute to Queen
00:12:36.400 Elizabeth II. Like we're that stupid. Like they really think we're that stupid that we actually think 1.00
00:12:41.280 Justin Trudeau was toasting the Queen with his horrible singing. They're that in the tank for 1.00
00:12:46.280 Trudeau. They're that useless at holding power to account. Now, of course, our good friends in the 0.99
00:12:50.720 United States made an absolute meal of Justin Trudeau singing. And this is what Greg Gutfeld on
00:12:55.640 Fox News had to say. Greg Gutfeld said he'd rather take Hunter Biden as president than have Justin
00:13:00.240 Trudeau as his president. That's a pretty low blow. Check this out.
00:13:03.520 What was he thinking, huh? Chances are he probably wasn't. Just be grateful he was singing
00:13:09.300 Bohemian Rhapsody and not Another One Bites the Dust.
00:13:16.520 Well, gonna have to change my answer.
00:13:20.520 And be thankful he didn't do anything from Aladdin.
00:13:23.340 All right, Kat. You know what bothers me about him? Everything. But also, doesn't he seem like you
00:13:34.360 know this type of person? Totally. You know this person. Yeah, he was there for the funeral. He was
00:13:39.620 getting jealous that the Queen was getting all this attention for being dead. Check out what Jesse
00:13:43.740 Waters had to say as well on this. One particular leader, our neighbor, in fact, to the North,
00:13:50.840 Canada, for those of you who weren't paying attention to that quiz,
00:13:55.660 showed their respects in a different way. Justin Trudeau decided the best way to honor
00:13:59.780 the Queen's legacy would be to fly to London, wear a t-shirt, get drunk at a British pub, 1.00
00:14:06.020 and do karaoke. Watch this.
00:14:20.840 Simon Cowell called, and I can't even say what he said. But I think the best takedown of Justin Trudeau,
00:14:29.400 on video at least, came from British talk TV host Laura Doddsworth. Check out what she has to say
00:14:35.300 about our Prime Minister. Since then, I've realized he's an arch-narcissist, controlling, 0.78
00:14:39.660 fascist sociopath. That's enough reasons there. Well, I mean, just as well he became a politician, 1.00
00:14:44.480 then, because that's exactly the qualifications that you need. Absolutely. The specific reason
00:14:50.700 I'm making him my plank is actually I am doing this on behalf of Canada. There have been 500,000
00:14:58.220 tweets in the last couple of days all saying Trudeau must go. Now, this has gone viral. It's a great
00:15:05.340 Twitter trend. And what people are doing is saying who they are, what they do, and saying that their
00:15:09.980 views are too extreme for Trudeau, and Trudeau must go. They're mainly objecting to the vaccine
00:15:14.300 mandates. You know, Canada's still living in this kind of viral handmaid's tale world where you can't
00:15:20.080 go anywhere unless you're... Well, they've got all of them, and they're all still completely straight.
00:15:24.240 And so the thing is that he kind of projects this image of being really reasonable, and he's popular.
00:15:29.200 But Twitter trends don't tell a lie. And he's got half a million tweets from his home country,
00:15:35.260 saying he must go. All right, guys. Ratio of the Week time. The winner this week is Peter Bogosian.
00:15:40.480 I think I've got that name right. And we have a couple firsts. The first being that he's an American.
00:15:44.620 So he's the first American winner of the Ratio of the Week award. Congratulations for that great honor,
00:15:49.700 Pete. The second, of course, being the size of the ratio. I don't think we've ever seen something
00:15:53.380 quite so substantial. The margin of victory for Peter Bogosian compared to everyone else who was in
00:15:57.660 the running for the award, it's beyond measure. This guy got so brutally ratioed, it was a non-competition.
00:16:03.740 So for this tweet, Peter Bogosian was given 11.7 thousand comments to 2,991 likes. By the time
00:16:12.520 you see this, it might have passed the 3,000 mark, but really with 11,000 comments, it's a
00:16:17.860 non-competition. It's not even close. Peter Bogosian, for some bizarre reason, tried to put
00:16:23.120 forward some sort of defense of the Oakville teacher. He writes,
00:16:26.480 Most people have strong moral impulses about whether this individual should be allowed to
00:16:30.660 teach their children in a public school, but very few can construct a good argument. Why or why not?
00:16:36.200 Very few can construct a good argument. Why or why not? This person should not teach your children.
00:16:42.060 It's more difficult than you think. Try it. Well, I think some people took Peter Bogosian up on his
00:16:47.760 challenge and tried it for themselves. And turns out actually 11.7 thousand people took up Peter
00:16:53.560 Bogosian's challenge and tried it. And here's what some of them had to say. The great Calvin
00:16:57.340 Robinson and GB News commentator out in the UK wrote a perfect response to Peter Bogosian. He
00:17:02.620 wrote this, Because he's clearly a pervert, demonstrating narcissistic tendencies, forcing 1.00
00:17:06.580 children to partake in his sexual fetish. It used to be okay to say we don't want sexual deviants 1.00
00:17:11.280 teaching children. Why is that no longer enough of an argument? Keep kinks out of the classroom. 1.00
00:17:16.280 Megyn Kelly responded, No mentally well woman puts breasts of this size with her nipples popping 1.00
00:17:21.000 out on display for kids trying to learn. The fact that it's a trans person enamored with a new sex 1.00
00:17:25.640 toy who wants to do a show and tell with minors makes it even worse and arguably misogynistic. 0.99
00:17:30.480 See? Not hard at all. Even Fry responded simply with the dress code policy that we touched on earlier.
00:17:35.620 He wrote, Not difficult at all, Peter. It violates the school's own dress code policy.
00:17:39.720 And then this person writes, In my day we had a dress code. No spaghetti strapped tank tops. The nipples
00:17:45.200 are definitely a violation of dress code. Are we really pretending this is okay? Besides, 0.95
00:17:49.620 as stated by others, it's definitely a sexual kink dressed up as a trans to abuse the LGBT 1.00
00:17:54.980 tolerance. Well, that's going to do it for us this week on the show. What a wild episode and 0.98
00:17:59.360 what an embarrassing week for Canada. Hopefully next week we can show the rest of the world the
00:18:03.440 true side of Canada and we'll do that next week. I'll catch you tomorrow on Fake News Friday.
00:18:08.260 My name is Harrison Faulkner and this is Ratio.
