When did human life become treated like it means so little? When someone is killed, and the consequences feel shockingly light, it sends a message, not just to the criminals, but to the victims, and every Canadian watching. It tells people that life can be taken, a family can be destroyed, and somehow the system can still move on like the punishment fits the crime.

00:00:00.000 We have to start treating these crimes as seriously as they impact the victims.
00:00:05.260 There's a huge disconnect in Canada today. The severity of the crimes has no clear connection
00:00:11.880 to the actual consequences. These people are just openly doing meth, openly doing crack on the
00:00:19.260 streets. There are children running around, families running around outside of major mall
00:00:24.340 entrances, outside of stores, and nothing is happening. This is going to blow your mind.
00:00:29.680 I promise you this is not AI. This is not fake news. What you're going to see, you're going to
00:00:35.420 think, what is going on? You're not in a Black Mirror episode. I promise you.
00:00:42.800 Tonight on Uncensored, we are asking a painful question. When did human life become treated
00:00:47.440 like it means so little? When someone is killed and the consequences feel shockingly light,
00:00:52.180 it sends a message, not just to the criminals, but to the victims, the families, and every
00:00:56.320 Canadian watching. It tells people that life can be taken, a family can be destroyed, and somehow
00:01:01.700 the system can still move on like the punishment fits the crime. That is why so many Canadians feel
00:01:06.900 angry. That is why they feel unsafe. Because accountability is not just about punishment.
00:01:11.980 It's about proving that life has value. And at the same time, we are watching a drug crisis tear
00:01:17.100 through our streets, our communities, and now reach even closer to our children in ways, honestly,
00:01:21.580 that's going to make you sick when you watch this. Compassion matters. But compassion without
00:01:25.780 accountability makes it feel cheap. And that's why I want to share this story to start off our
00:01:31.040 conversation. This is not right. That's it. Doing double the speed limit.
00:01:55.780 Sandra Paul was on her way home from the family cottage.
00:01:58.820 She was an Olympic figure skater from Midhurst alongside her husband, Mitch Islam, described
00:02:03.440 the life shattering consequences of Sadu's actions.
00:02:06.920 The family I dreamed of will never be whole. 0.87
00:02:09.300 Islam telling the court of losing his wife and the mother of his little boy. 0.52
00:02:13.340 Islam described marrying the girl of his dreams as partners on and off the ice for more than
00:02:18.400 12 years.
00:02:19.420 Their son, who was pulled out of the wreckage by Sadu, was taken to sick kids with a broken
00:02:24.000 leg.
00:02:24.420 the quarter to do in the midst of working for 26 hours and driving for about 16 straight
00:02:29.680 was traveling at 108 kilometers per hour nearly double the 60 kilometer an hour reduced speed
00:02:35.720 limit paul's mother said what was taken from alex hurts more than what was taken from me
00:02:40.620 adding the world is not the same to me anymore alexandra paul was a star at the mariposa school
00:02:46.480 of skating in barry representing canada in the 2014 olympics this is a a clear disconnect 2.5
00:02:54.800 years i want to make something very clear this is not a gentleman that made a mistake out of
00:03:01.680 nowhere they're his actions that came to this outcome he's the one that drove for 16 hours
00:03:07.800 straight he's the one that went nearly double the speed limit in a reduced zone and he's driving a
00:03:13.440 truck. I can speak to this from experience. My family, my father is 20 years of experience
00:03:17.980 driving these heavy trucks, big steel sheets. Okay. He knows those are death machines on the
00:03:23.840 road. There's a level of accountability and responsibility to make sure your trucks are
00:03:28.060 kept up to date. Make sure that you're in the right state of mind. Make sure that you're paying
00:03:31.380 attention and that you're following the road signs and the laws and the speed limits because
00:03:35.920 you are literally driving a death machine. These were his decisions that he made in 2.5 years
00:03:42.360 does not seem like justice 2.5 years for removing how many years of this life 70 80 years of this
00:03:49.460 life and then destroying the lives of so many of the different family members look i get that he
00:03:53.840 was remorseful he pulled out to their son out of their wreckage okay he didn't run away i get that
00:03:59.380 and everyone should be doing that by the way when something like this happens i would expect the
00:04:04.600 average person would want to do that okay but we still have to hold people accountable these were
00:04:09.940 his actions that led up to this nobody else's if he just simply followed the law followed the
00:04:16.300 training followed what he's supposed to be doing as a truck driver that knows he's driving these
00:04:21.120 seriously dangerous machines on the road then this wouldn't have happened 2.5 years is a slap
00:04:27.220 in the face no matter what way you look at it i can't imagine i can't imagine the family what
00:04:32.360 they're going through as a father of a three-year-old daughter i can't imagine this is a nightmare and
00:04:37.660 2.5 years, honestly, will go by like this. He may get out earlier, and it's a slap in the face.
00:04:42.400 And I've talked about this for a long time. Many of you guys follow me on this. I think we have to
00:04:48.540 start treating these crimes as seriously as they impact the victims. There's a huge disconnect in
00:04:54.680 Canada today. The severity of the crimes has no clear connection to the actual consequences.
00:05:02.140 There is no clear connection. This is why I like what Florida is doing, as an example,
00:05:06.160 for some of the most heinous crimes.
00:05:08.480 Look at what they're doing to actually stop the bleeding. 0.99
00:05:11.740 The death penalty for raping children 0.92
00:05:14.180 under the age of 12 years old,
00:05:16.700 this law has now passed in Florida.
00:05:19.140 I think we can all agree,
00:05:21.100 child rape, predators that go after our children 0.98
00:05:24.320 deserves the most harsh of punishments. 1.00
00:05:27.620 The death penalty or life in prison. 0.93
00:05:30.060 To be honest with you,
00:05:30.840 I think the death penalty is too easy.
00:05:33.260 I think that just makes it very easy.
00:05:34.580 I think life in prison, and I know that's a toll on our resources, but what I want to see going forward for these type of heinous crimes, and we've seen so much of this within Canada, within our own borders, child predators, sexually raping our children, trafficking our children, these are our young girls and boys, primarily girls, primarily girls, and we do not have the proper consequences in place and to have proper denunciation in place.
00:06:01.400 I don't know why we are doing this in this country. If I speak to 100 Canadians when I go
00:06:06.380 on the street and I tell them we should be putting child predators in jail forever, or we should be
00:06:11.880 having the death penalty, neither of them will disagree. They may just say, you know, death
00:06:15.840 penalty, maybe not. Maybe we should put them in jail, whatever. It needs to be very harsh. And we
00:06:20.940 need to make an example of these people. We need to make an example that this is not acceptable in
00:06:25.820 our society. And I don't know if I can, I want to find somebody that objects with this. Do you know
00:06:30.960 somebody that would object with the death penalty for child predators that rape your children? 0.98
00:06:35.920 Do you know somebody? I don't. So I don't know why our laws are made in this way. I do not get it. 0.98
00:06:41.920 These people are literally, this is worse than death. When you speak to some of these victims
00:06:47.220 like I have, this is worse than death. The trauma, they are left as a shell of their outside. And
00:06:54.400 honestly, it's truly disgusting. And honestly, it really makes me sick. I wish we started
00:06:58.520 prioritizing the families and children of this country that work hard every day, that want to
00:07:03.740 make a living every day, that protect their communities every day. We should be prioritizing
00:07:07.520 them, not the criminals, not the pedophiles, not the human traffickers. My question to these people
00:07:15.620 that set up these laws is, what would you do if it was your own daughter that was trafficked and 0.85
00:07:21.260 raped? What would you do then? I think their tune would change quite significantly. And it shows you
00:07:27.240 how out of touch many of the people in our government are. They're out of touch to what
00:07:31.060 is happening on the ground. They're out of touch to what this does to the families, what it does
00:07:35.500 to the actual victims. And we're seeing this, by the way, happening everywhere. This violence
00:07:40.800 that's happening, the fact that we're allowing in this ideology again, the permeation of drugs
00:07:46.800 across our society is also having an impact on all of this. Let's play this clip of this woman 0.82
00:07:52.080 in calgary explain to you now what it's like to walk down in the city of calgary she is right
00:07:58.380 calgary it is extremely unlockable back then it used to be so nice so quiet so safe and my hot
00:08:07.460 girl walks turn into like alert blocks i cannot even listen to my spotify or listen to anything
00:08:14.420 i just have my earphones in i took them out i had to be alert the whole time it's definitely not 0.91
00:08:21.300 fun especially as a girl you want a crazy looking people I'm just gonna say it it's scary I don't
00:08:28.160 know when this happened honestly because it was not like this look it was never like this okay
00:08:34.740 I was born and raised in this country in Hamilton Ontario I've traveled all around the country
00:08:38.660 west coast east coast now I live in Kelowna British Columbia I just came back from Calgary
00:08:42.940 last night when you go downtown Calgary I was shocked I honestly I was walking around like
00:08:48.380 These people are just openly doing meth, openly doing crack on the streets.
00:08:54.480 There are children running around, families running around outside of major mall entrances, outside of stores, and nothing is happening.
00:09:02.940 I can't even believe what I am seeing, honestly.
00:09:05.980 As a Canadian, we are exposing our children and our families to so much risk and violence.
00:09:11.080 Our women can't even go on their hot girl walks, for God's sakes, okay? 0.78
00:09:16.140 They can't even feel safe going out on a walk. 1.00
00:09:18.160 They have to take their headphones out.
00:09:20.620 Look, when are we going to snap into it and say something is wrong here?
00:09:24.420 The drug crisis that we have in this country, don't get me started on what British Columbia
00:09:28.480 has done with legalizing these hard drugs and just giving it to them.
00:09:32.700 This is not how you solve this problem.
00:09:34.260 When you go to Alcoholics Anonymous, you don't give them more alcohol.
00:09:37.240 Why are we giving more hard drugs to these people?
00:09:39.960 And why are we not treating this like the serious public safety concern that it actually
00:09:44.080 is?
00:09:44.940 I just don't understand it.
00:09:46.280 This is a huge safety concern.
00:09:47.620 Forget about the druggies themselves, which by the way, we should be investing in facilities
00:09:52.660 to help them get out of it.
00:09:54.140 Absolutely.
00:09:55.160 I am all for that.
00:09:56.380 But at the same time, we need to not make it acceptable to be doing hard drugs.
00:10:01.140 Why are we doing this?
00:10:02.400 And this is going to go to this story.
00:10:03.500 This is going to blow your mind.
00:10:05.040 I promise you, this is not AI.
00:10:07.080 This is not fake news.
00:10:08.800 What you're going to see, you're going to think, what is going on?
00:10:12.180 You're not in a Black Mirror episode.
00:10:13.700 I promise you.
00:10:14.740 Watch this clip.
00:10:15.780 You cannot make it.
00:10:17.620 The Institute received condoms and these pamphlets from Canadian Mental Health Association representatives this week.
00:10:23.760 Already there's so much problems at our school with drug use and that's not making it any better.
00:10:29.160 That's literally just making it okay for them.
00:10:31.940 The kids even know this is crazy.
00:10:33.960 The pamphlets titled Safer Snorting have a picture of a snort straw and a line of cocaine on the cover.
00:10:39.200 And pages of safety tips for snorting drugs.
00:10:41.220 Make it your own.
00:10:42.160 It's like kind of promoting addiction to kids.
00:10:43.720 um especially since they were handing out like the sticks to snort stuff with as well
00:10:47.960 oh my god like trying to interpret things too like early for kids like when things should
00:10:54.220 be being said parents responded and as usual voiced their anger all over social media accusing
00:10:59.760 the cmha of taking away rights of parents to talk to their children this is very much overstepping
00:11:05.760 parents the content that was being provided is extremely um inappropriate for for children
00:11:13.020 of course has a stepchild nephew and multiple nieces at barry north he said he is beyond
00:11:17.900 disgusted and called the pamphlets despicable what i've found a lot of feedback is you know
00:11:22.780 well everybody's doing it so why don't we just teach them to be safe about it to me that's a
00:11:28.140 very inappropriate way in how you uh teach your children the cmha admitting fault in a statement
00:11:34.060 to ctv news saying in part cmha ontario does not seek to promote or normalize substance use among
00:11:40.220 youth. We regret that unvetted materials were distributed. Can you believe what you are hearing?
00:11:49.480 Can you believe what you are seeing? This is the radical ideology of our government spilling down
00:11:55.000 to every institution across our country. And this is what they're doing. And the excuse that this
00:12:00.340 was unvetted materials. It's not like there was a spelling mistake in there. It's not like a that
00:12:05.260 design of that snort stick that we're telling them to customize and make their own was not ideal.
00:12:10.220 The, that is what everyone is thinking in these institutions. Hey guys, people, we know people
00:12:16.780 are doing crack. You know what? Let's make it safer. Let's make that cocaine sniffing a little
00:12:21.680 safer. Let's give you some sticks to snort. We've lost our minds in this country. I saw this story 1.00
00:12:28.940 and I just, this is how out of touch we are. This is how off the rails we are as a country.
00:12:35.300 Universities, colleges will be doing case studies about what is happening in Canada.
00:12:38.820 i hope sooner rather than later unbelievable and for them to go do that without consulting the
00:12:45.420 family this is something the family should be doing and what happened to like programs like
00:12:49.520 dare look i'm not telling you my parents were perfect okay i'm the son of immigrants afghan
00:12:53.860 and iraqi immigrants they came to this country i was born and raised here if i ever was caught
00:12:59.040 doing drugs okay uh i would not be uh smiling right now okay i would be getting a lot of 0.90
00:13:05.900 punishment. And I probably, if I was smart and I was a smart boy, I think I would never do it
00:13:11.040 again. We don't, I can't imagine if my parents came up to conversation with me, Sondran, we know
00:13:17.220 you're doing cocaine. We just want to make it safer for you. Here's the cocaine. We'll customize
00:13:22.520 it. I'll put your name on it. Let's engrave it. This is ridiculous, but it shows you it's not
00:13:28.420 just this and that, that excuse, the CMHA pathetic, pathetic that you went through that. You gave 1.00
00:13:35.640 like as that child described they gave them the sticks they gave them the pamphlet you should all
00:13:40.660 be ashamed of yourselves thank god for the parents the children have more common sense than you the
00:13:47.420 children are up in arms nobody needs this in our schools and and this is what we're doing and this
00:13:54.580 is what is happening across our society so people understand this ideology starts from the top and
00:14:00.720 it permeates all the way into our schools, into crime that's happening, into the drug addicts
00:14:06.960 that are on our streets, into the justice system that is allowing these violent criminals to go
00:14:11.440 out with a slap on the wrist. This is the problem in this country. It's impacting the walk of life,
00:14:16.520 literally people's walking in life, everything that they do. This is totally unacceptable.
00:14:22.760 What happens? I wish we could get back into a world where we just say no to hard drugs.
00:14:27.680 crack cocaine is bad. Meth is bad. When I raised my daughter, okay, I'm going to make sure she
00:14:35.140 knows you should not be doing this. I never want to see you doing this. This can kill you. This
00:14:39.640 is addictive. This is bad for you. Let me educate you on all of the things and how it can destroy
00:14:44.760 you. While you may think it's cool, while you may hear other people doing it, you should not be.
00:14:49.860 And if you ever need to come talk to me, talk to me, talk to some of their trusted friends. I'll
00:14:54.640 know some of the friends. I'll have conversations. I will do what parents should be doing, which is
00:14:59.640 parenting their children, which is guiding their children, educating their children. We don't need
00:15:04.920 totally radicalized institutions in this country giving our children cocaine snort sticks.
00:15:11.700 Unbelievable. What a crazy week. I feel like every time I make one of these stories, I just
00:15:16.620 wonder what's going on. Thank you for watching. Look, if you really like this, please subscribe
