True Patriot Love - Justice Across Canada - TPL Media Crime Update

00:00:00.000 Fentanyl is on the move, $150,000 worth of it at a time in just the average person's car.

00:00:07.460 It's not bad.

00:00:09.640 That's $150,000 worth of fentanyl and crack cocaine.

00:00:13.680 Just moving around with somebody willy-nilly enough to fall asleep in their car.

00:00:18.800 What's going on at the major levels?

00:00:20.540 all right thanks for joining us tplmedia.ca and i'll recommend that you check out tplmedia.ca

00:00:32.360 slash local because the likelihood is that we have a local version of what we're doing right here

00:00:37.420 in your hometown today once again a check on crime across the country and joining me to do that

00:00:44.780 paul micucci thanks for the time paul thank you mike uh all right let's uh let's take a look at

00:00:49.980 our rundown uh of course the uh the talk of canada and most of the world right now uh is the tragic

00:00:57.660 shooting of uh mark pinizzato uh here in toronto an officer etf uh shot in the neck uh responding

00:01:05.500 to a call yes of a shooting at the u.s consulate by by interesting so the the men implicated in this

00:01:14.780 are two 19-year-olds, one in the hospital and one still on the loose, right?

00:01:18.940 Yeah.

00:01:19.140 Nicholas Bennett and Zara Jabi, I think, is still on the...

00:01:23.580 Yeah, Nicholas Bennett in hospital right now.

00:01:25.620 He's on the loose.

00:01:26.740 So a lot of questions outstanding here, Mike.

00:01:30.240 You know, a lot of people are asking over the weekend as you're moving around,

00:01:34.360 people are saying, who are these two men who did the shooting at the consulate?

00:01:39.720 Where did they get the guns?

00:01:41.260 you know where are that what are they tied to internationally is now another question do they

00:01:46.900 have a family are they uh locals it's interesting nicholas bennett and zari zara jabi how did they

00:01:55.580 meet each other yeah that is a great question where do they come in connection with each other

00:02:00.680 how do they befriend each other why the u.s consulate where that's the other thing people

00:02:06.100 are asking like how does the u.s constant play into any of this i i've yet to meet a lot of 19

00:02:12.100 year olds who have much interest in the u.s consulate and now there's also ties of course

00:02:16.900 to uh international terror uh potentially through hezbollah which is i read that i read that by the

00:02:23.780 fbi so the fbi says that they've intersected a bunch of phone messages um arrested uh one of the

00:02:30.820 leaders actually in the i think it's in the u.s right taking uh basic claiming uh that they were

00:02:37.700 behind the shooting of the u.s consulate so now it's kind of so now is this this one's really

00:02:42.900 spinning all over the place and while we have somebody at large we're still not fully up to

00:02:47.700 speed on what the motive was here and if there was uh well and you pointed out earlier this is

00:02:53.460 an interesting time in toronto we have an international sporting affair going on that

00:02:59.220 is drawing people from around the world that is already a security concern and now we've got

00:03:03.860 somebody shooting at the u.s consulate that might be associated allegedly potentially associated

00:03:09.620 with hezbollah funded out of iran right and and murdering a constable uh with a beautiful family

00:03:16.820 we also we're all heartbroken over the weekend you know condolences to them but i think this

00:03:22.900 deserves now a deeper dive more questions need to be answered and we need to go back

00:03:28.740 and and i think have a real introspective look at what this is and going back to where do they

00:03:37.220 get the weapons why do they have the weapons how do they know each other they steep they keep

00:03:41.860 stealing different cars so when i was coming in here the team did some research and they basically

00:03:47.620 seemed to be um tied to uh a couple shootings previously in stolen cars uh one is at a jiu-jitsu

00:03:56.820 gym yeah this nicholas bennett not a good guy by the looks of it yeah march 25th shooting occurs in

00:04:03.700 an apartment building near eglinton avenue that wasn't that was one of them although nobody was

00:04:07.620 shot yeah they found that uh the shots had been fired and 19 year old nicholas bennett was later

00:04:13.940 charged with firearms offenses now i mentioned to you on the way in mike i've seen so these

00:04:21.060 emergency task force crews um just unbelievable how they they meet up and usually meet up in a

00:04:29.700 designated location they so they pick a point a meetup point um and they actually all come together

00:04:35.780 they drive in in cars and vehicles they get out their let's call them their swat fans show up yep

00:04:42.180 they gear up they put on all their garb i've had them actually one of my businesses i've had them

00:04:46.660 use the business several times i've been there a couple times when they're there um it's very

00:04:50.900 you know i'm always looking at the cameras and all of a sudden all these big armored vehicles

00:04:55.300 show up that's an amazing yeah they get out they put on all their uh all their gear bulletproof

00:05:01.220 all their guns everything and then they disappear they go to do their uh raids or and then they

00:05:08.260 come back and uh they uh i guess they they unpack they get back in their cars and they go back to

00:05:15.460 work i think back to their normal gigs it's really amazing to watch what they do and no they're an

00:05:20.660 amazing uh skill set um the opp has a training center and uh swat facility i guess tactical

00:05:27.940 facility near us uh where i live and uh what what they're capable of doing is is quite remarkable

00:05:34.100 and they are uh the guys you put right in the line of fire in these scenarios uh on a four

00:05:40.100 unfortunately but in this case you know the terrible thing is how they knew they were coming

00:05:46.980 or where they were prepared or whatever happened whatever weapons they had you know hadn't in their

00:05:53.780 uh possession they were firing and they he got hit and you know that those are the questions i

00:06:00.180 i think we have to ask at this point the who you know who are they why are they there that's the

00:06:06.740 thing is i'm starting in my mind i'm like two 19 year olds don't we don't really know how they know

00:06:12.260 each other why are they together in an apartment in north york well here's the thinking of the fbi

00:06:20.420 when do they connect so an fbi criminal complaint alleges that uh in a record telephone recorded

00:06:26.980 telephone call al-sadi claimed responsibility for the toronto u.s consulate shooting on behalf

00:06:32.440 of an iranian link group called uh herkat ashab al-yamin al-islamia sorry if i've said that wrong

00:06:40.780 but terrorist group uh canadian investigators begin probing whether the local shooters

00:06:46.660 were hired by or tied to this broader network that took responsibility for this now whether

00:06:53.820 it's just them taking responsibility that happens too sometimes it does yeah but you're right what

00:06:59.680 19 year olds just want to take a shot at the consulate the same guys who shot at a uh brazilian

00:07:06.580 jujitsu gym for some reason and took part in a sort of low rent um housing facility shooting

00:07:14.860 uh at another time they sound like thugs but now there's this tie to terrorism is this terrorism

00:07:22.060 finding and scouting these kind of people out these young misguided youth that want this kind

00:07:27.640 of lifestyle and saying to them hey here's some money we'll put it in your pocket now go this time

00:07:32.560 go shoot at the consulate you'll probably get away with it too well this is the why like really you

00:07:38.240 know the who what when where why I think now why is why has this happened that's the question on

00:07:43.300 people's mind and and you know given there's such a tragedy occurred I think we need we need to get

00:07:49.540 the bottom of it and if it is happening then why is it happening and where where specifically is

00:07:55.940 it happening in the country those are the things that i think we need to talk about and address

00:08:00.740 uh to your point you know we're going through right now you know one of the bigger soccer events

00:08:06.580 the world will see i think it actually is ranked at north america is the number one uh they're

00:08:11.940 saying it's the number one uh populated viewed event in the world but we should be making sure

00:08:19.060 we're understanding what's happening in the places they're coming to uh the response to

00:08:25.300 pines that are being killed was a procession through the streets of toronto by most of the

00:08:30.340 emergency emergency services on duty at that time drawing some criticism that they might have left

00:08:38.180 security at fifa a little unattended at that moment in that area that more on that i'm sure

00:08:45.220 will come up this is uh an interesting story only in the sense that there's two of them in ontario

00:08:51.380 right now we've had a major series of uh firearms drug and cash seizures in ontario toronto what

00:08:59.380 began as a driving well disqualified investigation of the jane and finch area resulted in the seizure

00:09:05.060 of firearms fraudulent license plates illegal drugs and over 170 rounds of ammunition 180 000

00:09:12.260 bucks in cash you know traveling around with 180 000 worth of cash in your car

00:09:20.180 seems like a well that's like a very that's loose change by the look of it if you're if

00:09:25.220 you're rolling around in the car and it's in your glove compartment and obviously there's more where

00:09:29.540 that came from so they got that uh suspect on numerous weapons and trafficking charges then

00:09:34.820 in thunder bay on june 5th officers found a man and this is wild we uh i was actually making my

00:09:41.060 way through the country uh up in that area at the time and this came up it was so uh at first blush

00:09:47.460 it's kind of funny but listen to this on june 5th officers found a man asleep behind the wheel

00:09:52.420 with the vehicle running being there another time in my life many years ago uh a surge of the

00:09:59.460 vehicle yielded over 115 grams of suspected fentanyl and over 587 grams of crack cocaine

00:10:06.820 with an estimated street value of 150 000 bucks a 49 year old brampton man was charged now why was

00:10:13.060 he asleep at the wheel well as i pointed 115 grams of fentanyl found in the car so here's a lesson

00:10:20.900 to criminals uh don't don't use your own stock if you can avoid it yeah boy driving all the way up

00:10:28.180 to imagine how dangerous that was this is three major points here yeah one is fentanyl's on the

00:10:35.940 move 150 000 worth of it at a time yeah in just the average person's car it's not

00:10:43.780 yeah that was that's 150 grand worth of fentanyl and crack cocaine just moving around with somebody

00:10:50.420 willy willy-nilly enough to fall asleep in their car yeah what's going on at the major levels oh

00:10:56.020 yeah well and and you know heading all the way up to thunder bay quite frankly so he arrived in town

00:11:02.740 passed out they found him sitting in the car over the weekend i don't know if you've noticed but

00:11:07.860 the number and i'm not even going to get into traffic fatalities and traffic accidents but

00:11:12.180 the number of traffic fatalities continues to just skyrocket yeah and again you got to come up to i

00:11:18.020 know i know we don't none of us love speed cameras none of them love all these things there's got to

00:11:24.020 be something that that actually starts to trigger you know speed racing things going on did you see

00:11:30.020 the guy this week and the opp pulled over doing they were just talking about pulling people over

00:11:34.580 driving too fast yeah and they pulled somebody over doing 167 kilometers an hour yeah well

00:11:41.220 exactly but there's got to be there's got to be markers on the highway on all the 400 highways or

00:11:46.580 across canada on the major highways that quite frankly will trigger if you're going more than

00:11:51.940 150 or 1 140 or something there's got to be something we got to set a benchmark where

00:11:57.300 okay now we know that someone on that highway is moving at a high clip yeah and we we we pay

00:12:03.380 attention to it because it turns from a traffic violation to an emergency yeah it has to be

00:12:08.580 that only makes common sense like we i don't think anyone would argue against that i think

00:12:12.900 i i saw you know red light cameras we've seen the push okay yeah speed cameras we've seen the

00:12:18.260 pushback yeah speed cameras for for you know dangerous driving i think no one would push

00:12:25.380 back no i wouldn't push but i don't think you would get much push back on that uh because they're

00:12:29.620 the uh and frankly the people that it's a criminal act but there's something wrong when you're driving

00:12:35.140 you know just short of 200 kilometers an hour yeah in the general flow of traffic i mean this was

00:12:42.100 midday that they pulled this guy over doing this yeah uh yeah all right uh moving on uh

00:12:49.140 another case uh we talked last week i don't know if you saw the episode uh jim and i had a chat

00:12:54.340 as we made our way uh across uh to the west coast on the trans canada highway all kinds

00:13:00.100 of billboards about human trafficking uh and this one kind of falls into the same category

00:13:06.580 an oshawa au pair uh scenario got uh sadly went the wrong way germ regional police have arrested

00:13:13.460 a 38 year old oshawa man after an investigation revealed a victim was lured to canada all the way

00:13:19.140 way to canada via facebook uh for an au pair job and the victim was sexually assaulted and

00:13:25.100 administered a noxious drug search warrant uncovered the drugs electronic devices and

00:13:30.860 child sexual abuse materials um wow absolutely uh a terrible case and uh i don't know how they

00:13:42.980 made the connection to this au pair but it does kind of point something out this is a lifestyle

00:13:48.240 for youth now where they will take a job in another country as an au pair caring for somebody's

00:13:53.440 children living in someone's home this is the kind of scenario that really you have to be careful with

00:14:00.560 oh yeah uh the background checks must be there i don't know what made it feasible for this person

00:14:08.520 to come here and what made them feel safe enough to do it but what a tragic case yeah no you hear

00:14:16.220 it all the time you hear these gone wrong quite frankly there there has to be a system set up quite

00:14:21.680 frankly that both sides are vetted before so not only not only did the person coming get vetted

00:14:28.560 coming into the country but the person they're staying with gets vetted so we don't place someone

00:14:33.660 from a abroad with someone who's got a challenge already with criminal activity and then we also

00:14:40.940 need to have sort of uh whistleblower things in place where if something does go wrong quickly

00:14:46.860 we can mitigate it because you know this person you know are they being held hostage how long

00:14:51.820 they're going through this you know they're in a foreign country you know in their mind they

00:14:57.260 might be thinking okay i i don't have the uh i don't have the wherewithal to financially get

00:15:05.100 out of this home i can't go back i can't go forward right right yeah i'm stuck no you're

00:15:09.820 You're right. I think, and human trafficking is a difficult one in that regard often.

00:15:15.280 But for this kind of scenario, yeah, to be able to have an escape mechanism or an emergency mechanism,

00:15:21.500 I think is something that we need to make people aware of or put into place.

00:15:25.800 I was amazed when you guys were traveling how many signs you were shooting

00:15:29.060 and how frequently it was being chatted about in the north because you don't hear,

00:15:34.160 you hear about it in the major cities as you're crossing Toronto, but not as much, quite frankly.

00:15:38.260 there's no signs on it that's no i mean and it was a major thing you could see the trans canada

00:15:42.500 highway was this transportation route uh for so many wild things that happen in canada i mean it

00:15:49.860 is the means of transportation across the country so enforcing it there seemed like the right thing

00:15:55.300 you know i feel badly i wanted to go back paul do you mind if i yeah go back in the in the stories a

00:15:59.620 little bit uh this officer valley that was yeah to room valley yeah uh obviously a popular officer

00:16:08.900 and uh a tragic case uh do me a favor kind of bring me up to speed on what happened here because

00:16:15.380 i'm trying to understand what occurred what actually occurred here yeah uh so he was struck

00:16:23.540 it was an 18 year old man he responded to a call he had escaped from the hospital apparently or left

00:16:30.340 the hospital um they say that he's being uh uh looked at from the mental health unit right now

00:16:37.700 uh but he he responded to the call uh i saw pictures of of the uh the field where it appears

00:16:45.860 that he was crushed um by the car being driven by the 18 year old um tragic event i think again

00:16:54.180 it leaves a lot of questions unanswered uh you know he's by himself he's in the middle of the

00:16:59.620 farm um gets out of his vehicle obviously gets pinned yeah yeah terrible way to die an awful

00:17:07.380 awful death but you know again these i think what we're seeing as we look at these and we look at

00:17:13.140 these um horrific events that are happening against our law enforcement officers we need

00:17:18.900 to delve into them and we need to basically ask those questions who what why where how and how

00:17:26.180 did like this person how did they get out of the hospital how do they get back to this farm

00:17:31.140 they get a hold of a car obviously keys who gave it to them how are they driving who's reporting

00:17:37.780 it those are the things that i think we're all starting to ask the questions because

00:17:41.140 we're wondering when you look at the you look at the scene you're kind of asking yourself

00:17:44.900 how does this happen yeah that was that was a my first question where you're in a field a car is

00:17:51.060 coming you and i talked about this chasing somebody down with a car sounds like a terribly deadly

00:17:58.260 instantaneous yeah uh encounter however it's not the easiest thing to chase somebody down

00:18:06.580 especially in a field oh and mow them down yeah and hit them it's very hard so um these questions

00:18:13.540 and it's unanswered uh and you know why is he by himself why again why yeah why why do we not have

00:18:21.060 back yeah you think we gotta these are things out of the car by himself we gotta ask these questions

00:18:25.940 like we can't have this happen this the the number of people actually said great things about this

00:18:31.700 person is amazing oh he was beloved obviously love it but you know we got to make sure we don't

00:18:37.220 these things don't happen again yeah i mean it it this seems so avoidable that one seems so

00:18:44.180 avoidable to me in so many ways you know even the pinnissado one we're seeing that this bennett kid

00:18:49.540 was arrested on gun charges several times why is he still on the street that's a whole other we you

00:18:59.300 know we've been through it on other shows you know but that's that's part of the leak leaky system

00:19:04.420 the leaky faucet that we have here is letting these guys back out our bail system is and if i

00:19:10.020 was if i was a terrorist group and i needed to hire people who would i go to criminals on the

00:19:15.220 street known criminals on the street by name this kid was charged previously with a gun crime

00:19:21.460 well let's try and get that kid he's still out right i don't know i think that could have been

00:19:26.580 avoided uh on to the spy world paul and by the way i think a lot of world doesn't exist no apparently

00:19:34.340 not no it's very wide open yeah by the way a lot of these questions that we're asking could easily

00:19:41.620 be answered if we still had one thing in this country in many countries that we've long ago

00:19:47.220 lost and that's journalism right good point no one's asking the questions right no we're taking

00:19:53.860 the press releases and printing those yeah no following up and it does leave well people are

00:19:59.140 asking so you know it's interesting as they move around on the weekend people are having

00:20:03.220 conversations you know i'm different events and they're talking about it they're talking about the

00:20:07.380 funeral processions and the tragedies they are asking the questions they're sitting having a

00:20:12.180 beer at night and they're they're but the problem is they're making stories up and i think that's

00:20:16.900 the we have to be a little careful that's what i said to it's i was a little offended on the

00:20:21.860 weekend with a group that i was with someone said something that happens right they've had a few

00:20:26.180 drinks and i said to them hold on right i think you have to ask the questions first i don't think

00:20:30.820 you can jump to conclusions of what's going on you know there's a lot of tinfoil hats and

00:20:36.260 you're listening to the conversation as they're having a few pops and you're thinking yeah

00:20:40.500 you know what uh you guys it's all speculation right but we need we need to we need to tell the

00:20:47.620 truth and have that discussion so people don't draw conclusions and that that's what i worry

00:20:52.660 about sometimes put a call into uh toronto police this morning uh and uh we got a response back very

00:21:00.340 quickly and i'll tell you that that leads me to think that there is the possibility to cover

00:21:06.260 these stories we just don't have the journalists out there doing it right uh yeah as you point out

00:21:11.060 spy spy spy it just seems to be what we do in canada however we don't want to convict anybody

00:21:16.340 for it never this is the third third one you put it at three uh cases patrick

00:21:25.380 uh the space agency one was very wild the guy worked for the space agency for how many years

00:21:31.620 25 25 years worked for uh space agency um yeah got accused of selling secrets yep uh to china

00:21:41.540 to make it uh feasible for them to to make it uh make some leaps in there came back to canada was

00:21:48.020 charged and of course exonerated led off by a quebec uh judge cleared of all criminal charges

00:21:55.300 okay give me another one so uh federal contractor case same thing uh it's it's almost every case is

00:22:02.660 almost the same thing so the second one very similar uh was doing contract national security

00:22:08.340 for the federal government we got caught uh leaking information across that he was working on

00:22:15.060 uh went to court acquitted let off okay but now we've got one that's got a little bit of profile

00:22:21.460 to it i think these two basically got missed uh missed missed or ignored ignored yeah but if you

00:22:28.980 know if you if you think about it you know you go back to the days of nortel and cases that we've

00:22:34.180 had of companies where chinese have come in you know they write books on it quite frankly we're

00:22:39.380 not the first ones talking about it where they came in they set up shop right across the street

00:22:43.860 they you know found out all the information on the company sent it back home came back replicated it

00:22:49.300 and knocked that company out of business right so now inside of our government we're starting to find

00:22:54.740 people who are involved and this one was a real the one you're i know the one you're going to talk

00:22:58.660 about yeah this one's a really interesting one yeah this guy william uh madcher uh he was born

00:23:04.500 in hong kong by the way and he later became a canadian citizen he worked uh 20 years for the

00:23:09.780 rail canadian mounted police yes uh specialized in organized crime so he knew the criminals

00:23:15.700 money laundering so he knew the ways financial investigations so he knew what had already been

00:23:20.820 put on the books and international policing which is kind of where he took his career after retiring

00:23:28.020 he worked extensively in asia and developed relationships with law enforcement agencies

00:23:32.100 across the region and he was uh known to be a consultant on financial crime and anti-money

00:23:39.940 laundering cyber security and that sort of stuff right now he was he got caught he trying working

00:23:45.860 well allegedly this is what they're saying that he was trying to force chinese fugitives back to

00:23:52.500 china yeah so people who had for some reason fleet china he was trying working for the chinese

00:23:58.660 government trying to force them back using the information that he had gathered as a

00:24:06.420 right so and you know there's what they had is they had several emails where uh he was talking

00:24:14.660 to fbi colleagues i guess that he had been working with through the rcmb days um and basically

00:24:22.500 claim and they prove they the government seemed to have evidence that he was working for the

00:24:32.060 chinese government to do that uh kind of using the information he had gathered as rcmp now he

00:24:39.160 alleges he was on the up and up uh taking this consulting um and i don't know why he came back

00:24:46.060 to canada he seemed to be there for a few years and living a decent life yeah uh but allegations

00:24:51.240 centered on activities related to china's operation fox hunt and that of course is them trying to

00:24:57.420 find out who's uh taking advantage of the chinese government's money and money laundering and

00:25:03.500 corruption um outside of china right now i do say one thing mike that it did pop up in the case when

00:25:10.100 you read through the case there were a bunch of wealthy um real estate moguls in vancouver

00:25:15.740 that are tied into this that fight frankly uh back in china they had uh allegedly again

00:25:23.380 committed several uh fraud multi-million dollar frauds um that they then brought the money here

00:25:30.600 bought a bunch of real estate the chinese government was trying to get them to come back

00:25:34.360 so there's this one's a pretty muddy one of we kind of fraud on both sides of the border yeah 0.57

00:25:39.200 you know uh the chinese trying to get them back to either secure their money or get their money

00:25:44.840 there's a lot going on here basic question how much money how much of china's money just goes

00:25:49.480 into the wind when they get out there and try and launder it or infiltrate it into certain markets

00:25:54.600 and stuff a certain amount of it they're probably chasing going hey where's our money well that's

00:25:59.000 the thing you know so part of the model is you know you uh the chinese banking system has uh

00:26:05.480 several multiple small banks that actually lend money um to different sources so their their model

00:26:13.720 was you know that there's a whole set of fina in the financial world there's books and books and

00:26:18.760 books that talk about china's um went to japan basically got uh their theories on economics

00:26:26.520 and one of the japanese theories on economics is that they should uh uh decentralize the banking

00:26:33.160 system into small banks so they create small funds so you know a lot of us know that the chinese

00:26:39.320 construction uh uh company number one number two they gave them they didn't even give them names

00:26:45.000 they just gave them numbers right so they funded construction companies across you know the world

00:26:50.680 so you used to be in like uh the bahamas and you would someone would be at a project meeting with

00:26:57.080 you and they'd say we can get money from the chinese construction company number seven and

00:27:02.840 you kind of laugh and go is there a construction chinese company you know construction company

00:27:07.880 number seven yeah there's seven to twelve right now right and you're like okay so they're funded

00:27:11.880 with cash so part of the chinese model was to decentralize the banking system by sector put

00:27:17.160 money into different economies and then reinvest right so that's how the the process worked

00:27:23.640 interesting process however once that money gets live right how much comes back yeah right and

00:27:30.360 where does it go because all of a sudden if i you know i've been living in china and they give me

00:27:34.600 that's a great point a hundred million dollars to go to the bahamas to build a resort

00:27:40.200 i'm not going back right i'm not giving the money back right right so they got to go get them to

00:27:44.680 chase it so this this guy actually feels like he's a bounty hunter a little bit you know i i was

00:27:49.400 reading between the lines on this one and i don't now maybe not a bounty hunter but he's certainly

00:27:54.680 he's assisting right he's an investigator trying to get their money back right but apparently so

00:27:59.400 now the problem is these people took the money get live in different countries they have power

00:28:05.560 money and influence so they start to actually say to the governments that they're where they are

00:28:10.840 i'm staying here yeah you know i'm putting money into campaigns i'm doing all this stuff they don't

00:28:16.120 want to get involved so now what do they do how do they get their money back so then they have to

00:28:20.360 come and try to infiltrate yeah but the interesting about this one at the end of the day i thought

00:28:25.960 the interesting thing about this is the federal prosecutors appealed the case so he was acquitted

00:28:32.760 let's make this yeah he was acquitted yeah on all charges yeah free to go and then out of the blue

00:28:39.160 within weeks i think yeah the prosecution wants an appeal they want to go back to court they think

00:28:46.840 that the judge missed some key points in this and they want to go back and retry the case well

00:28:53.560 and the interesting thing is uh we're over having discussions with china yeah right so

00:28:58.760 the relationship's getting better all of a sudden next thing you know so the the question i guess

00:29:03.480 is if you're which is very interesting the next few cases like this that come up are they going

00:29:09.560 to get it acquitted i wondered so that's is this over now like i'm thinking maybe these this hat

00:29:14.440 trick is uh the last of the hat tricks right maybe this is the message coming back now to

00:29:18.920 people abroad who have money that they receive funding from china hey you better pay up because

00:29:25.100 they're actually sending people yeah uh you know i think that uh as you take a look at all the

00:29:31.720 different crime and uh um you know the various stories that we looked at this week the one thing

00:29:37.620 that i will say is that the police service and the investigation element of stuff is at the forefront

00:29:46.200 these stories have you noticed this yes like well there's a lot to be investigated in this country

00:29:51.900 right now oh yeah it's uh and at the same time we're seeing on these pages in front of us a lot

00:29:57.680 of people taking a walk i'll give you an example in our first story uh the uh young bennett

00:30:05.060 charged how many times gun offenses and a cop gets shot uh we're looking at actual officers

00:30:13.720 getting charged and acquitted of spying of all things uh and you know yeah i guess that's what

00:30:22.520 it would be called all of these stories you'd almost think that somebody would have made a stop

00:30:30.360 on this three spies yeah three charges against this guy more investigation more action and actual

00:30:37.720 jail time i think is required to reign some of this in i don't think any officer any legal

00:30:45.160 authority or expert would disagree with that we we let things too willy-nilly here yeah well i think

00:30:51.320 coming out of covid we we we got used to it you know we're we're trying to we're softening our

00:30:57.560 sentencing we're catch and release with soft everything was softening right you know we don't

00:31:01.880 want to be hard on we we put people you know in their homes for so many years so let's be a you

00:31:07.880 know a little nicer a little softer a little kinder yeah yeah give them their freedoms back

00:31:14.120 that we understand unfortunately at the same time as you mentioned on the highways of of

00:31:19.320 canada you know uh we were trucking in massive amounts of illegal substances guns trafficking

00:31:26.760 trafficking humans we were there's a there's a very tragic underbelly going on as we were trying

00:31:33.440 to soften up our police enforcement enforcement so we're seeing the effects now we are two guys
