00:00:00.320 Progressive criminal justice reform isn't just not working in Canada, it's getting people killed,
00:00:06.600 and politicians still pushing it, like Premier David Eby in BC and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,
00:00:13.240 need to be held accountable and definitely not re-elected. I want to go over a recent
00:00:18.760 situation that happened in Surrey, British Columbia, and show that this isn't just an
00:00:23.760 issue of a few people slipping through the cracks, this is a systemic problem.
00:00:28.380 So three weeks ago, Adam Mann, a lifelong criminal and scumbag, was arrested for aggravated assault
00:00:36.140 in Surrey. Despite the fact that he had a lengthy criminal record with many violent offenses in it,
00:00:43.000 and he doesn't even live in BC, making it a very high probability he's not going to show up to court
00:00:48.640 and he might commit another crime, he was still let out of jail. He then went on to murder a woman,
00:00:55.380 Tori Dunn, in her Surrey home during a botched home invasion, the exact sort of thing that Adam Mann
00:01:02.460 was previously arrested for, going around and assaulting people, breaking into homes, trying to
00:01:07.660 steal valuables. Now, I get frustrated when I see politicians like NDP BC Premier David Eby acting
00:01:16.600 shocked at the consequences of his own soft on crime policies. This is a situation where very much
00:01:23.400 the blame is shared between Eby as well as Trudeau. Yes, most of the current bad laws are coming from
00:01:30.860 the federal level, but they're being bolstered by David Eby's lack of support for the police
00:01:36.300 and his championing of decriminalization efforts in many different areas. A lot of easy bail laws that
00:01:44.020 he's passed that he's also been supporting. He could pass provincial measures to prevent people
00:01:49.400 from getting out of prison so easily, but David Eby is a man who supports the criminal over innocent
00:01:55.280 members of the public. He even wrote this book back before he was an NDP politician titled
00:02:01.320 How to Sue the Police and Private Security in Small Claims Court, a book all about small technicalities
00:02:08.600 you can use to extract money out of the police force, even though they might have done absolutely
00:02:13.580 nothing wrong. The man fundamentally hates criminal justice and the police. And so I don't care that
00:02:20.260 David Eby is shocked in the aftermath of the situation and is figuring out what ways we can
00:02:25.780 improve the current system because he doesn't want to do a deep tough on crime reform, which means he
00:02:31.560 doesn't actually care. This recent Canada Press headline, I think, highlights just how sort of gormless
00:02:37.840 Eby is acting. It says, BC Premier wants to better understand bail reform failing in women's murder.
00:02:45.480 David Eby is confused because before a couple years ago, we basically had complete blanket
00:02:51.280 automatic bail. And in the last year or so, we've passed a couple reforms on the federal level that he's
00:02:59.080 consulted on, and as well as some other provincial measures that was supposed to make it so that
00:03:04.400 violent criminals were not automatically released. The problem is that David Eby doesn't fundamentally
00:03:11.780 disagree with the way that the current system works. So automatic default bail is still the law
00:03:17.980 of the land in Canada. What David Eby and the federal liberal government, under Justin Trudeau's
00:03:23.680 control, of course, what they did was they just gave prosecutors and judges a couple more tools to be
00:03:30.320 able to hold violent criminals in prison. What this is basically doing is gamifying whether or not
00:03:37.180 people who could potentially go out and murder people are kept in prison. Overworked prosecutors
00:03:42.880 who are not paid that much and do not have a lot of resources are supposed to bend over backwards and
00:03:48.560 jump through 17 hoops to keep every single Adam man in prison. And that David Eby is just expecting
00:03:56.460 them to jump through every hoop, do hours of paperwork in order to go in front of a judge and make the case
00:04:03.440 for keeping people in prison. Many of these judges are soft on crime judges, so they're not even probably
00:04:09.680 going to grant many of the bail denials for violent criminals like Adam man. And so what we have now is a
00:04:18.600 system where basically prosecutors have to overwork themselves to make sure every single chance of a violent
00:04:25.860 criminal getting out is prevented. This is not a good system. And on top of that, David Eby also denied
00:04:33.040 the Surrey Police Department from getting more money from him from when they transitioned from just being
00:04:38.480 a branch of the RCMP to being local police. This headline reads, BC not offering Surrey any more money
00:04:46.320 for police transition. He gave them a one-time payment of $150 million to upgrade their resources from
00:04:53.860 going from just the provincial federal police force to a local police force that will have enough
00:04:59.160 officers and resources to meet the needs of the quickly growing city of Surrey. So that's another
00:05:05.100 problem. They do not have the police resources available in places like Surrey to police the
00:05:10.240 streets. So this is a shared tragedy between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and BC Premier David Eby.
00:05:17.500 If they stopped supporting these progressive policies, they started appointing tough run crime
00:05:23.500 judges, and they stopped doing stupid things like depriminalization, they're stealing away police
00:05:29.120 resources to enforcing laws around like high drug traffic areas of provinces, we could actually prevent
00:05:36.220 tragedies like this from occurring. But David Eby doesn't really want to. So when you actually read his
00:05:41.960 comments, and I did in full on the situation involving Torrey Dunn's murder, it's all about how we need to
00:05:48.480 talk to the family involved, and we need to maybe, you know, add a few extra little layers of bureaucracy
00:05:54.980 to make sure that maybe Adam Manns don't slip through the cracks as much. But the problem is, is that the
00:06:00.720 default of the system is to let people like Adam Mann out. The system only holds people who are like
00:06:06.240 drug kingpins and actual murderers. So if you haven't murdered anyone yet, David Eby will mostly
00:06:12.440 give you the benefit of the doubt, even if all the facts line up to say, do not let this man out.
00:06:18.280 There was even people writing up reports saying that Adam Mann should not be released. This was
00:06:23.060 presented in front of judges during arraignments and whatnot, and it still never actually resulted in
00:06:28.800 him being held in prison because David Eby is anti-incarceration. Because for some reason,
00:06:34.180 incarcerating violent criminals is bad. David Eby inherently respects the rights and well-being of
00:06:41.820 criminals more than he does innocent members of the public, so I do not value his shock. I do not
00:06:48.160 value his concern over this issue because he's not going to do anything about it. So if you live in
00:06:55.380 British Columbia, I urge you to vote for the British Columbia Conservative Party. The BCNDP need to be
00:07:01.420 absolutely walked out of office. They need to be frog-marched out of office so that you can have
00:07:06.760 a government who can pass provincial policies to make it easier to hold criminals. Local bylaws in
00:07:12.800 your municipal governments push on all your councillors to push local bylaws to hold repeat
00:07:19.120 offenders, whether it's violent crimes or it's non-violent crimes. There's really, in my mind,
00:07:24.500 no such thing as a victimless crime the way that many progressives like to argue. Just because
00:07:30.220 someone wasn't violently assaulted during a crime doesn't mean it's not serious. Everybody should be
00:07:35.300 held in prison if you are a repeat offender, no matter if it's petty theft or if it's a violent
00:07:40.660 offense. So make sure you go out and get out there, vote for the BC Conservatives, donate to them,
00:07:46.320 volunteer, and make sure pro-crime politicians like David Eby are not allowed to stay in government.
00:07:52.680 These people are an absolute blight on our political system and they do not care if more
00:07:59.180 situations like what happened to Tori Dunn continue happening. The crime is sort of the purpose of what
00:08:05.020 they're doing because they think criminals are all Aladdins who are only committing crimes because
00:08:10.500 they've been hard done by the system and they need to steal and rob and mug people in order to just get
00:08:16.380 by in life because, you know, we need more social justice and we need more financial justice policies
00:08:22.420 to stop stuff like this from happening.
