this program I guarantee you it's a message you're probably not hearing about in the mainstream media
00:00:23.660
so today today's show consists of auto theft it's on the rise 34 percent it's up since 2015 in
00:00:30.100
Toronto alone up 300 percent that is absolutely incredible to talk about this and much much more
00:00:37.720
we have Jaz Raj Halan the member of parliament for Calgary Forest Lawn also the member of parliament
00:00:42.780
or sorry the critic for finance thanks very much for joining us hey Jimmy thanks for having me on
00:00:46.900
here again always a pleasure it's great to have you back and you're always a fan favorite you're mine
00:00:52.740
anyway you're my favorite thanks all right auto theft it's up a whopping 34 percent right across
00:00:58.300
Canada since 2015 incredible numbers especially when you look at Toronto 300 percent it's up since
00:01:05.460
2015 just incredible it's crazy to to think that this happened since 2015 I mean the the liberal
00:01:13.680
government put out a scathing report on the liberal government recently when they said since 2015
00:01:19.900
the thefts are up 300 in Toronto alone this is a scathing report by themselves on this prime minister
00:01:29.000
and we all know that in 2015 Justin Trudeau became prime minister and why did these auto thefts go up
00:01:36.880
and crime in general violent crime it's because of their soft on crime you know bail policies that
00:01:43.920
they've implemented like bill c75 and bill c5 that lets repeat offenders keep offending and so with
00:01:50.780
that you know what I've seen is Canada's for for criminals these criminals have never been freer
00:01:57.440
or richer as they've been since Justin Trudeau took over it it seems that a crime will be committed
00:02:04.520
officers will respond they'll in some cases when they arrest the the individual they believe is is
00:02:11.220
guilty of that crime by the time the paperwork's dry or not even dry the the criminals are back on
00:02:17.000
the street to recommit again we've seen the the figures in Vancouver where a very small amount
00:02:21.820
of repeat offenders were responsible for the vast majority of crime it is it is this revolving door
00:02:28.880
that seems to be the problem and the liberals inability to actually deal with it you know it wasn't just
00:02:33.900
the inability it's actually bills that those two bills that they put forward that's letting this happen
00:02:38.980
over and over again it's basically given a free get out of jail card to these repeat offenders
00:02:44.760
because of those two bills they've they've reduced the mandatory they've gotten rid of mandatory minimums
00:02:49.880
that are much needed you know if we compare the the previous common sense conservative government
00:02:55.120
compared to now violent crime is actually down and it seems like the liberals are mad that we did it
00:03:01.400
for less cost than they did it for and crime actually went down whereas under them they're spending
00:03:07.580
more money but crime just keeps going up because it pays to do crime these days under Justin Trudeau
00:03:12.820
and it's not just car thefts Jamie if you look at the the money laundering that's happening in Canada
00:03:18.280
we've become a safe haven because of these relaxed policies and people are in under this uh car theft is
00:03:24.500
just one part of that money laundering that's happening right now literally there's families who you
00:03:28.920
moved here like my family we came here for the Canadian dream people living here look for that Canadian dream
00:03:34.240
that once this country stood on but now a part of that Canadian dream used to be a safe environment
00:03:41.760
for you and your family that's one part of the Canadian dream and after eight years of Justin Trudeau
00:03:46.680
with the support of Jagmeet Singh and the NDP that dream has turned into a nightmare where literally
00:03:52.060
people are afraid to walk down the street you can't park your car anywhere without thinking
00:03:56.540
it might get stolen just because of this these repeat offenders that that literally like you said
00:04:02.400
they get jailed in the morning they're out by the afternoon and you know I'm hearing from some
00:04:06.720
lawyers these like it's become a joke now where some of the criminals say I need a warm place to sleep
00:04:12.120
tonight and a warm meal just leave me in jail if you can just for another day or so so don't don't
00:04:17.480
don't bail me out like it's just become a joke I'll go I'll get out in the morning and that's Justin
00:04:22.440
Trudeau's Canada after eight years. I was just in Vancouver last week for the announcement of the
00:04:27.420
First Nations Resource Charge with our leader and when I checked into the hotel there was a big sign
00:04:32.680
right when you when you check in I didn't have a car but it basically well I should have took a
00:04:37.000
picture because it was absolutely incredible the first time I've seen something like this where
00:04:39.760
basically said in the hotel's lot please remove all valuables either altogether or out of sight
00:04:46.700
because the rate of car thefts has has just been astronomical out of that hotel's own parking lot
00:04:53.340
and this is in a a decent area of Vancouver it was it was in the downtown and and if if the hotels
00:05:01.880
themselves are having trouble policing their own lots I can just imagine what everyday Canadians are
00:05:06.460
dealing with. Absolutely look there's a hotel in Brampton that's offering anyone who stays there
00:05:12.340
one of those uh you know those things that lock your yeah the the bars that you lock your your steering
00:05:18.020
wheel with yes they literally offer it to them if you're parking your car there because that's how bad
00:05:22.560
crime has gotten after eight years of this liberal NDP government no one is taking this prime minister
00:05:28.060
seriously and no one is taking the our our jail system seriously because Justin Trudeau has broken
00:05:35.100
our bail system under a common sense conservative government we've we have a clear plan to help fix some
00:05:41.080
of these problems that are there like for instance we want to help stop the export of these cars because
00:05:47.100
we know the port of Montreal has turned into a parking lot now of stolen vehicles less than
00:05:52.440
one percent of vehicles actually get scanned so for us to be able to improve that what we need to do
00:05:57.220
is we need to get more scanners there that's one part of our common sense conservative plan
00:06:01.980
we're going to hire 75 more CBSA officers so that not just for the export of our vehicles and other things
00:06:08.740
but also to scan for import of drugs and of of handguns and other guns that are illegal the the the guns that
00:06:16.760
are actually being used to commit most of these crimes not for our law abiding you know permitted
00:06:22.280
and fully vetted law gun owners they this this approach that Justin Trudeau has taken is completely woke
00:06:30.280
and it's turned Canada into a joke and Canadians are going broke because of all of this stuff because
00:06:35.020
all this crime keeps going up people's stuff keeps getting stolen also for repeat offenders we need to
00:06:41.120
make sure that they stay in jail not bail so as our leader always says jail not bail jail not bail and
00:06:48.600
what does that mean that we need to make sure that repeat offenders so if you commit three crimes you
00:06:53.300
should get a minimum minimum of three years for auto theft when it comes to extortion especially with a
00:06:58.900
gun can you believe Jamie that you know GTA used to be a grand theft auto used to be a game people used
00:07:05.200
to play people still play this game a video game but Canada's reality today after eight years of
00:07:10.840
Justin Trudeau is get grand theft auto now and the these people who are committing these crimes will
00:07:16.300
literally get house arrest for a crime with a gun which means they commit these GTA like crimes
00:07:22.960
grand theft auto like crimes just to sit in their house in the comfort of their home and to watch
00:07:27.680
Netflix and play GTA just to step out the door and commit another crime that's eight years of Justin
00:07:33.320
Justin Trudeau we need to put a stop to that we do have a common sense conservative plan for the
00:07:37.120
extortion that's happening the auto theft crime and we will be cracking down on bail reform finally
00:07:44.320
something that municipalities and law enforcements across this country keep asking for but it's again this
00:07:50.980
soft on crime these these bail policies that are failures by the soberan dp government that we have to
00:07:57.000
reverse when we're in there well and one thing I'll I'll I'll get a remarkably adequate producer again
00:08:03.080
super producer Nick is not here today to cue up cut one we're gonna run this clip it's about 90 seconds
00:08:08.000
hanging with us but um the the also point was brought up recently the fact that auto theft is up
00:08:13.820
34 across Canada and 300 in the GTA that means there's 300 more 300 more victims in the GTA
00:08:21.540
and 34 percent more victims across Canada absolutely remarkable it's remarkable but but on top of that
00:08:27.040
we have to remember sometimes it's not just one victim it's families that get terrorized it's
00:08:31.360
communities that get terrorized there's a lot more that goes behind that sometimes numbers don't
00:08:35.780
cover okay let's play cut one crime is way up violent crime is up 40 percent under this prime minister
00:08:43.420
and today he held he had his ministers hold a big press conference as their solution and in it they put
00:08:49.740
out a press release that said and I quote in 2022 approximately 9600 vehicles were stolen in the Toronto
00:08:55.040
area alone representing a 300 percent increase since 2015 end quote what happened
00:09:03.200
I know he happened Mr. Speaker how can we make him unhappen and stop the crime
00:09:12.100
the right honorable prime minister in 2015 Stephen Harper presented a budget that had slashed funds for
00:09:26.120
policing slashed funds uh for CBSA officers a slash funding for veterans affairs services and we were
00:09:34.180
there to clean up the mess to cut taxes for the wealthiest one percent lower them for the middle class
00:09:40.020
to support families to start moving forward on gun control in real ways while the conservatives cozy up
00:09:47.340
to the American gun lobbies we've continued to step up and keep it Canadian safe let him bring assault weapons
00:09:56.800
the honorable leader of the opposition wow is he ever losing control of himself
00:10:08.760
oh my goodness screaming and hollering like that Mr. Speaker it's his press release that says that in
00:10:18.240
Toronto auto thefts are up 300 percent since he took office clean up the mess says Justin
00:10:28.140
Durdeau he's doing a fine job of that auto thefts up crimes up he also talked about assault weapons
00:10:33.660
being on this room what is he talking about he'll distract they haven't been legal for legal for
00:10:37.660
decades like what is he talking about and even he can't even describe what an assault weapon is we
00:10:42.360
don't want to get into that but what is he talking about he's absolutely distracting and dividing
00:10:47.040
like he always does to take away from his failed record economic the economic record on the crime
00:10:53.580
that's gone up across this country housing costs have doubled mortgages rents have doubled you see
00:10:58.740
the price of groceries and him quadrupling the carbon tax he wants to distract people away from that
00:11:03.600
and put this fear into Canadians again I think he's mad because the conservatives spent less and
00:11:10.260
actually brought down crime and can you believe that when when when Stephen Harper took over in 2006
00:11:16.600
there was actually around 12,000 CBSA officers and at the end of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's term
00:11:22.420
there was around 14,000 they actually increased and we did it for less money and on top of that
00:11:28.120
violent crime was down auto thefts were down Justin Trudeau I think he's just mad that they spent so
00:11:33.580
much money but nothing happened just like every other department yeah every other that's why
00:11:38.300
everything feels like it's broken in Canada absolutely I want to get to cut two here so we'll
00:11:42.300
ask Dan to queue up cut two because it actually gets into my next point so let's play cut two
00:11:48.040
and and we'll we'll have a quick discussion these car thieves have no gratitude here the justice
00:11:57.700
minister is letting them out of jail for stealing cars you'd think that they would show him some
00:12:04.400
courtesy in exchange but instead they keep stealing his car it's unbelievable I would have thought that
00:12:11.120
they would have been grateful to this justice minister for him letting them out of prison within hours of their
00:12:17.760
arrest but no they are stealing his car too and that is life after just eight years of Justin Trudeau
00:12:24.760
everybody is at risk now we didn't have these stories before Trudeau he has caused an explosion in car
00:12:32.340
theft and good news is that life wasn't like this before Trudeau and it won't be like this after he's
00:12:38.260
gone under the previous common sense conservative government we cut car theft by half I think that's a
00:12:44.120
great message but the overall point is so the justice minister of Canada had his car stolen I
00:12:49.580
believe that what the article had three times so there doesn't seem to be that much urgency because
00:12:56.620
in the government schema thing well the government just has insurance and they replace the car or they
00:13:00.920
buy a new car outright maybe they don't go through insurance doesn't matter but at the same time if
00:13:04.980
you're in the GTA you have your car stolen once twice maybe in three times the insurance company
00:13:10.340
gets rid of you right the first time they might let you go probably with a warning second time
00:13:15.780
they probably might even cut you off and say that's it no more or your insurance skyrockets right so
00:13:21.480
again it doesn't affect the governing class so that the the liberals do not have to to actually live
00:13:27.780
with the results of their horrible policy just the rest of the people absolutely look the irony behind
00:13:34.940
this whole thing is incredible and you're saying that they're not acting with urgency while they're
00:13:40.760
holding this summit it doesn't that show some type of urgency they're convening again always with the
00:13:45.380
convening and maybe a harshly worded letter to the criminals might come out of that so a stern letter
00:13:50.300
but again it's the irony behind this whole thing and and by the way the the justice minister recently
00:13:56.900
was had to apologize for swearing at our leader in question period just because once again I think they're
00:14:02.800
really mad that we spent less and got better results than they did but again when we look at
00:14:08.120
some of these clips that are coming out these families these businesses are being terrorized
00:14:13.820
there's businesses in my riding who have to hire more cost to hire security guards at their at whatever
00:14:20.980
businesses that they have the amount of crime that's increased under Justin Trudeau because there's
00:14:25.560
no consequences that's right there's no more consequences he's taking those away just like Justin Trudeau
00:14:30.540
said thought that there would be no consequences with all the spending he did it's Canadians that
00:14:36.020
always have are suffering and are the consequence to his failures whether it's on the economy or it's
00:14:42.880
on crime he's completely failed Canadians and put the put us in this state this this state of fear all the
00:14:49.780
time that we see Canadians families that I hear about all the time I'm sure you do too yep about just the fear
00:14:56.260
in people and even here in Ottawa where we are today it's up 100% the auto theft crime you know
00:15:03.320
that's it's incredible that even in our capital it's up that much but again it's because of the
00:15:08.460
policies the failure by the civil NDP government and their woke policies that have have have let
00:15:14.360
criminals off over and over again yeah it's absolutely a shame especially when regular people
00:15:19.420
are suffering the consequences life is already hard enough to get by as it is next thing you know
00:15:23.800
your insurance company cuts you off or says we're going to double your rates because your car keeps
00:15:27.900
getting stolen well that's no fault of the the individual it's the government with their ridiculous
00:15:32.580
policies and their their absolute disdain for the people to actually fix it and and again they convene
00:15:39.480
and they convene but as the saying goes it's it's never the government that starves just the people
00:15:44.640
right and and again to your point taxes are up auto thefts are up which means your auto insurance is up
00:15:51.500
everything is up all in the wrong categories and there's only one person that's responsible for
00:15:57.520
all of that that's Justin Trudeau his complete failure to Canadians to govern to lead this country
00:16:03.780
down a proper path has left Canadians with with the worst consequences that and the worst outcomes
00:16:10.220
Canadians could have ever thought that ever in the history of this country he spent so much to deliver
00:16:16.920
so little and he's he's put turned this country into a nightmare you know I talk about the Canadian
00:16:22.820
dream a lot because my family came here for that like many others and now because of this nightmare
00:16:28.260
people are living in high cost of living high car thefts high violent crime people are turning around
00:16:34.300
and leaving Canada they're finding a new home that's outside of Canada after eight years of Justin Trudeau
00:16:39.380
it's interesting you said that we're running pretty much at limit on time but it's interesting you said that
00:16:44.160
about the violent crime I just saw just a headline as I was coming into to the studio to record this
00:16:49.720
program it was from the Toronto Star if you can believe it basically uh the headline was about
00:16:54.660
home invasions on the rise and how to protect yourselves when in Canada did you expect that to
00:16:59.500
happen as you know the guests always have the last word jazz the floor is yours Jamie thank you as
00:17:03.600
always you're an absolute rock star with everything that you're doing I'm honored to be on here again
00:17:07.900
look a common sense conservative government under Prime Minister Pierre Polyev will do four things
00:17:14.640
to help Canadians whether it's a cost of living or this rise in crime that we see we're gonna axe
00:17:20.880
attacks we're gonna build the homes we're gonna fix the budget and we're gonna stop the crime that's
00:17:26.540
what our common sense plan is and we're gonna bring it home.
