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.
00:05:34.580I 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.
00:06:01.400I don't know why we are doing this in this country. If I speak to 100 Canadians when I go
00:06:06.380on the street and I tell them we should be putting child predators in jail forever, or we should be
00:06:11.880having the death penalty, neither of them will disagree. They may just say, you know, death
00:06:15.840penalty, maybe not. Maybe we should put them in jail, whatever. It needs to be very harsh. And we
00:06:20.940need to make an example of these people. We need to make an example that this is not acceptable in
00:06:25.820our society. And I don't know if I can, I want to find somebody that objects with this. Do you know
00:06:30.960somebody that would object with the death penalty for child predators that rape your children?0.98
00:06:35.920Do 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
00:06:41.920These people are literally, this is worse than death. When you speak to some of these victims
00:06:47.220like I have, this is worse than death. The trauma, they are left as a shell of their outside. And
00:06:54.400honestly, it's truly disgusting. And honestly, it really makes me sick. I wish we started
00:06:58.520prioritizing the families and children of this country that work hard every day, that want to
00:07:03.740make a living every day, that protect their communities every day. We should be prioritizing
00:07:07.520them, not the criminals, not the pedophiles, not the human traffickers. My question to these people
00:07:15.620that set up these laws is, what would you do if it was your own daughter that was trafficked and0.85
00:07:21.260raped? What would you do then? I think their tune would change quite significantly. And it shows you
00:07:27.240how out of touch many of the people in our government are. They're out of touch to what
00:07:31.060is happening on the ground. They're out of touch to what this does to the families, what it does
00:07:35.500to the actual victims. And we're seeing this, by the way, happening everywhere. This violence
00:07:40.800that's happening, the fact that we're allowing in this ideology again, the permeation of drugs
00:07:46.800across our society is also having an impact on all of this. Let's play this clip of this woman0.82
00:07:52.080in calgary explain to you now what it's like to walk down in the city of calgary she is right
00:07:58.380calgary it is extremely unlockable back then it used to be so nice so quiet so safe and my hot
00:08:07.460girl walks turn into like alert blocks i cannot even listen to my spotify or listen to anything
00:08:14.420i just have my earphones in i took them out i had to be alert the whole time it's definitely not0.91
00:08:21.300fun especially as a girl you want a crazy looking people I'm just gonna say it it's scary I don't
00:08:28.160know when this happened honestly because it was not like this look it was never like this okay
00:08:34.740I was born and raised in this country in Hamilton Ontario I've traveled all around the country
00:08:38.660west coast east coast now I live in Kelowna British Columbia I just came back from Calgary
00:08:42.940last night when you go downtown Calgary I was shocked I honestly I was walking around like
00:08:48.380These people are just openly doing meth, openly doing crack on the streets.
00:08:54.480There are children running around, families running around outside of major mall entrances, outside of stores, and nothing is happening.
00:09:02.940I can't even believe what I am seeing, honestly.
00:09:05.980As a Canadian, we are exposing our children and our families to so much risk and violence.
00:09:11.080Our women can't even go on their hot girl walks, for God's sakes, okay?0.78
00:09:16.140They can't even feel safe going out on a walk.1.00
00:09:18.160They have to take their headphones out.
00:09:20.620Look, when are we going to snap into it and say something is wrong here?
00:09:24.420The drug crisis that we have in this country, don't get me started on what British Columbia
00:09:28.480has done with legalizing these hard drugs and just giving it to them.
00:09:32.700This is not how you solve this problem.
00:09:34.260When you go to Alcoholics Anonymous, you don't give them more alcohol.
00:09:37.240Why are we giving more hard drugs to these people?
00:09:39.960And why are we not treating this like the serious public safety concern that it actually
