Now it looks like Tom just got into the room right now. So let me just We just ex added this really quick and bring up the PowerPoint Let me just introduce you to Tom Tom Busby really quick. Um, is everyone here know who Tom is? Everybody here know who Tom Busby is Good good good. Well, Tom. I'll just give you a little heads up. I know Tom for it's gotta be at least Jesus me 20 years. I would think all right so I know Tom for such a long time over the years and Tom and I go way way back. We traveled around the world We've done events from from Canada to New York to just basically all over the place and You know, Tom, you know, it's been around since the 70s. He's actually doing it longer than me You know what when we would I talk about people that you know When you're as long as him and I in this industry, we obviously doing something right we will probably that the only there's like You go count about a thing me five of us back then who started back then he was actually one of the first out there So obviously what he does really even works been around. He's got a great office You could see out there in Mobile, Alabama. He's also an author of three books He does exactly very similar to stuff. I do I you know trading with your traders He's got a great trading room, you know, he does futures very one of the probably the best futures trader I've ever met in my life. Listen when I went down there and he wanted me to do presentation I didn't really know anything about futures But when I did I went to him and I listened exactly what as you go to the experts and that's why I'm very fortunate to have him so Tom and I go way way back and it's always nice to have him on board and You know, I know he's a legend Robert Well now now's your opportunity you can never not get enough of listening to him because you always learn something You great traders always learn something especially when we're trading every day. So with that said Tom Is your are you there Tom? Yeah, fast. I hear you loud and clear and thank you so much good to hear your voice It's good to listen Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  Thanks Fausto and folks, you know Fausto told you the truth. We traveled around the country. We used to do a show where we'd take about four hours and then we'd stay over and do a live live trading for a few days in front of people and I know that It's just a lot of fun to hear Fausto's voice and some of the trips we took to Toronto Vancouver Las Vegas around the country has been been sort of fun and But you're here today. I think if I if I know why you're here You hear really to walk away with something that might help you Figure out how to make money in the market and if anybody tells you it's easy It's not easy. I tell you I sometimes I look at Look at things and I think wow Why did I stay in this business? when Maybe had some other opportunities, but the real reason that it's such a great business if you ever get the game I call it the game you ever get the game figured out It's sort of write your own ticket and I like that I like the fact that when I show up in the morning I'm gonna put my wits against the world's widths and in one of us is gonna walk away with more money We started with and that's why I love the what I call the art of trading In 2000 we Built this building moved into it in 2001 and I did that because I felt like that it was a great place traders needed a place to go Set around a room and where everybody in here would be talking about trading and we've held pretty true to that over the years I know that Great building and we just did a real modernization plan To bring all this new technology and smart smart boards Roku TVs a lot of different things new sound systems and all that to make a better online experience and We made that investment because we truly believe that traders learn more from each other then Then they can do it any other place Sort of network network with other people that are successful And if you can find somebody that's got their head on straight and give you a good advice Then they're priceless connection. So thank you for coming I'm looking at a clock here and I'll get going but that's right That is where we started right there in 2001 when we moved here and we started teaching and trading Now wrist and bobbin trading, you know when they tell you about wrist, you think well, there's not much risk than this and It's a little divine wrist or whatever. But the point is You know one or two pops to the to the head you go. Wow. What happened to my money a Lot of people, you know forget the most important question before they make a trade and I always tell people this Decide where you're wrong and do it way before you enter the market because if you decide where you're wrong and then you get out Then it becomes a process and that process is what you're betting on Not that you know what you did yesterday is gonna help you today, but if you follow the process I know today the market started out last night in Asia Following out of bed. It's been all night in Asia all night in Europe And then the DAX is the market I follow Started rising and I told some people in my room this morning Hey, the DAX is holding this thing together and the next thing, you know The market makes a recovery and we go up and make new highs I think that's important sometimes when you're able to look at that kind of movement and You see it right before you very eyes Now I do have three books one is a trading game the markets never sleep and trade to win I guess I'm sort of partial to my first which is Sort of my story how I got started how I turned it around and how After all these years I still do what I do 1987 I don't know if you're around trading back then and I get a kick out talking to a lot of people that wasn't there as traders and They call it a correction and sure enough if you go look at The 1987 year it looks like oh, that's just a little correction but living through that three days or week that The market was in turmoil with something to observe in fact a Lot of things that if I'd had to experience today It would have been it's been I would say a real opportunity instead of a disaster for me and the market dropped 20% that day and not good who actually was in the market in 1987 Let me date you a little bit who was in the market in 1987. I Remember I had had some IBM and IBM back in those days. We traded IBM he paid like three hundred dollars a hundred shares and I remember it took three days to find out where we sold that that's how far the tape was running behind and But I learned a lot from 1987.  Okay, and so you recognize Those kind of events way before everybody else does and that gives you quite an edge You also recognize you also recognize when those events are over and you got to move on Let's talk some market insights and this is what I've done Throughout my career is I followed the S&P 500 Seventy-five percent of all stocks will follow the S&P 500. I hear people all the time I don't understand why this stocks down. I said it was very simple. It's part of the S&P 500 and the S&P is down You notice that last night with the market Going down in Asia and Europe in this morning a lot of these stocks opened Lower You know Amazon for example closed at 61 and went down as low as you know 23 this morning This is This is what I followed the S&P and then I trade stocks and options off the S&P and people go Well, how do you do that? Well, that's what we do now Holiday markets are trend or typically trend changes. We had this happen this year. I've had this insight for years We were negative in the Christmas Eve and closed at the low on Christmas Eve And we came out of Christmas Eve the next day after Christmas and you had a trend change That trend change is what you're trading today Okay, the next time I would expect to get another trend change or an acceleration Will be February the 19th I find that holidays or where most of what I would call the trend changes occur at and Acceleration so you look for one of those two events at those dates and the next date is February the 19th. That's an insight now Always tell people it's quite simple when you're looking to buy stocks Buy stocks that are above the yearly open and I know a lot of people have been You know trying to think about Apple. Well, I can just tell you right now is Apple, okay Apple has to get above about 155 to turn positive this year. It hasn't really Participated even though it came off its lows, but it will participate if you start getting above 155. That's an example Other stocks are above their yearly open Lulu marijuana stocks Tilry, you know US Steel Stocks like that. I always tell people the easiest way to determine if you're right or wrong look at your trading account and At the end of the day, I've got a little thing I go through and if everybody out there would do this one little insight You'd be a lot better when we got the end of this year. It's very simple You get to the end of the day It's about 245. I'd say central time. That's 15 minutes before the close You get to the end of the day and if you've got stocks in your portfolio that lost money In them and I'm saying diverging from the general market markets They went up that day and these stocks lost money the best course of action would be okay The best course of action would be To get rid of that. I'm just telling you that's one thing that if everybody did that you'd be a lot better So every day you start out with winners As opposed to losing Instead of the hope that everybody gets called into now if I think the slides are advancing on my end or they're not advancing on your end that to do about it I guess just listen, but we'll have I'm sure Fausto have this tape and everything okay, I Plan out everything I do in the market because the emotions wait too much into your decision-making And you have to plan it out. Okay? And so therefore what I would tell you it's pretty simple is Plan your week plan your day and plan your trades There's three things you got to know before you make a trade You got to know where you're gonna enter that trade Got to know where you're gonna be wrong on that trade and you also have to know Where it's time to take it off the table Before I do any stock options or futures I'll always answer that question myself before I go in and It's really based off the S&P Okay Also just based off the S&P and I think that's something that That you've got to do before you You know get serious about this game of winning. Okay? now my success is It's not easy And what I mean by that is I have to work at it even after all these years I had to be open-minded. I had to say to myself. What can I do that was better? Basically, I'm always accumulating and always working towards that perfect game Sometimes you you know you do it, but in general you're not gonna be perfect in trading You know eight out of ten and trading is perfect Don't think about the fact that that you're you know You've got all these winning trades, but think about your success rate and eight out of ten is perfect So you don't have to be perfect to make a lot of money in the market You just have to follow a process and the hardest thing about trading is not winning The hardest thing about trading is losing and what I mean by that is Losing is part of this game. And so you go into Any trade or anything that you do you go in there with the idea With the idea if I'm wrong That's okay But this is where I'm wrong at and know that way before you put money at risk Now green circle country. It's a theory. I came up with years ago I said, let's just look at a big picture of trading not about I got in here and out there But basically did I make money or did I lose money? Green circle country is my term for you made money No matter how you made money that day You'd be surprised if you make money and you start out at the daily level go to the weekly level to the monthly level to the yearly level Then you got something to talk about so I think in terms of a day inside of a week That's the way I look at the market now. I'll tell you this always tell people the time. How right are you? I will tell you that four out of five times. I'm gonna be right The one time I'm wrong That's where you get hurt. You've got to take those losses. I never know even to this day That this trade's gonna be that big gangbuster trade What I do know though is that I'm gonna be right four out of five times for example I'm about to tell you something. I want you to write this down The s&p opened This year at 2508 We're currently 2577 Here's what I'm gonna tell you This market is going to be in an upward move towards an s&p of 26 75 Between now and February the 19th Now that's a statement. I believe that the market's going to move up from here to 2675 Now Four out of five times when I say that I know I'm going to be right But what if I'm wrong Well, where am I wrong? I'm wrong If the s&p On the day today we come up today breaks 25 52 on the s&p I'm wrong on the year If it breaks 2508 So that's where I'm wrong on what I just told you I know that I have that frame in my mind And that's the way I approach the stock market I approach options and I approach anything I'm trading That is something that we teach And this is something I wish everybody would do Four out of five times is a pretty good Approach to the market Now let's dream a little bit I like doing this little little portion of the presentation. Let's dream everybody likes to dream Play a game of multiple If Okay You had a choice between A B Or C Which one would you choose? If you had a choice A B Or C Michael says all I don't see any goffers here Well, I see a couple of them all three, right? Okay I I definitely do B first and then probably a didn't see the way I would do Katelyn says do an all What about this one? Which one of these three would you choose? You know trading can allow you to do this if you learn this game You could do A B or C Here's one this I I can tell you now 90% of you'll pick C Look at look at it. See pop it up there 90% I've done this slide in front of hundreds of people and they always pick C 90% Now what is trade trading and my estimation is what real simply broken down to Are your buys less than yourselves?  I wish you best of say I'm a chart reader time If you're a chart reader, I've been studying charts my whole career. I'm going to show you what I use in charts these three patterns The first one is a a long chart And that's what you would see if you looked at this year and looked at The s&p or look at one of these stocks that have moved up like Costco The second pattern is staying out And the third pattern is going down. We had a lot of that in that fourth quarter last year the third pattern Learn memorize these three patterns when you're making trades or making investment Do I have a rising chart Or a sinking chart or do I have a chart that's not telling me anything and I will tell you You can look at a lot of different time frames on charts. I prefer the 30 minute chart I prefer the 30 minutes Then it becomes let's connect the dots if we took I'll just show you what I'm talking about if I took 2508 Where we opened the year at and I took the price of 2580 And connected those dots What direction would that be? It's not hard This market's going up folks and that's why I say You connect the dots up Now here's the here's the uh the numbers We opened a week at 2537 right now. We're 25 61 at 930 right now. We're at 2580. That's telling us we're going higher on today If I look at the advanced decline line It's changed from being really negative almost being positive You've got a reversal of that nightly trend right now in process And we'll know the answer by one o'clock what the rest of the day is Look at amazon this bullet 1602 to 1649 The trading process is where are you going to enter? What your target is? And where you're wrong Early on Wall Street tried to complicate things for me and I realized you had to make things simple And that's what we've done the better part of the 40 years the last 25 as I've been teaching is try to simplify The world of trading for you We don't have time to send out for studies. We have to be on the right side Let's talk software Years ago The commercial software was lacking a lot now. It's pretty good But what I decided to do I said if this is going to be my career I've got to have the flexibility To bring in to play things. I know that work. So we built at dti software that allows you to see All this stuff that experience gives you inside of software Okay, we call the software the roadmap software dti's roadmap Long shorter out and we let it do the work for you. We didn't want to sit in front of a screen We wanted to take advantage of What the market was doing and do it in a simple straightforward way to analyze I'm going to teach you four patterns today with our software that makes this process simple If you learn these four patterns You will start off at a minimum of sixty sevens percent being right And then you plug that into your loss to your gains and that's how you make money. So let's let me teach you the four patterns I call it the sixty seven percent accurate module a bicycle If I see in our software this pattern i'm long that's simple Whatever it is i'm long if I see that pattern I have what's called a penetration bar And a confirmation bar and i'm long Doesn't matter what it's in that market's going up crude oil or or slumber j fit That pattern this week Now what happens if it goes up and fails without a confirmation bar? Well, that's even a better pattern We had a lot of these in december where the market would try to go higher and fail The roadmap got us on the right side. It's there for you to be that guideline of discipline That you're going to need sell signals options buy signal down we go Sell failure This is what we had today. It came down tried to sell Didn't sell we reverse got above the sell penetration bar and we've been up ever since That's why this market's going higher right now the sell failure now alan I'm a good friend of mine, but alan said using the software Okay during a highly volatile market And markets that everybody was saying different things Help him have clarity. I've had this message from many people over the years about the roadmap software There's three steps. You're long you're short or you're out and connect the dots the roadmap software is one of The industry's best analytical software a lot of people use it They won't tell you they use we put a system together We call the roadmap trading system and it covers all the aspects of trading in simple terms One of my requirements for jeff smith our chief instructor was jeff make it not in engineering terms but in simple money-making Ways We think the benefits are it's easy to learn within a couple days. You can use this in a real market Whether you're advanced trader or a beginning trader it will help you interpret Analyze and execute You can be a small player or a big player it works We have an annual fee no monthly subscription The roadmap software system I'm so proud of it And it's our legacy here at dti with what we've done in the world of trading We've added things like the scanner to go find those stocks that fit all the dti method criteria You're to see the track record just from those stocks This is the first pattern this is about a 30 minute Group of lessons that we put together we test you on it to make sure you understand it And then you're ready to fly The global markets we incorporate the global markets into our software No, a lot of software doesn't do that a lot of software doesn't plot all that stuff We do setups that are proprietary We show you where the money is We have custom trading alerts that pop up on your screen and say hey, it's time to go long The dti method is well proven It's what I've used and so many people after me once they learned Trade management is part of every successful approach We spend a lot of time in that in our module Because you know a lot of questions are sometimes asked if you get stopped out. Who's ever been stopped out? That and then you say do I get back in with a roadmap is there to help you decide Once you learn what to look for Of course, we don't want you to take years to learn it. So we have a rapid results quick start guide Now this is a big change in Faust oak of Didn't have this when I met Faust oak and we Jonathan is the guy that I hired right out of right out of college He worked as an intern he impressed me We now call it my own board specialist because I if you're like me I didn't want to mess with the software I wanted to use the software and I didn't want to deal with the computer. So I told Jonathan your job is getting this software on people's computers Jonathan does that he schedules his appointment. All you have to do is Be on the phone set it up and he he basically gets it running for you This has been one of the what I call big changes at DTI This year or last year we sold four times as many roadmaps as we had in previous years I believe it simply was because we simple simplified the process of getting it The whole system is there We also have live monthly coaching sessions that we do Unlimited support always at DTI. That's a theme of our company now Notice we say risk-free We used to sell all this for a lot of money. I finally cut down the price. I said, okay We're going to make this a no-brainer. It's going to improve your trading That's one of the statements we'll make it's going to make you feel more comfortable And where once you get it down, you will love it. We'll be sitting in front of that computer all the time making these good trades So here's what we do 497 you got 90 days to drive it around beat it up Trade with it learn from it And if you don't like it, we'll buy it back from you You know, I you know, I think the industry average on an offer like this is probably about five percent Ours is less than one percent once you get it The light bulb goes off You're able to look at the market like I'm able to look at the market and tell you hey We ought to be buying this market right now based off the roadmap So the offer is 497 I like bringing people on board so Got a simple link. It's called DTI trader.com slash action Only those people that take action Only those people that believe in themselves enough say hey, I might learn a lot in 90 days And stay with it You might learn how to read charts. You might learn how to read the tape But most of all you're going to do it with a group of people. They're using it and by the way Your accuracy is going to increase and your risk is going to go down if you follow our approach It beat that There it is. No brainer. Take it away folks. I've been it's been fun being with you today The time is 12 31 And I want to thank Fausto for having me Yeah, Fausto. Sorry. Yeah, Tom. Thank you so much for being here and uh, like I said, uh, happy new year to you and Great presentation. You guys take him up on his offer. Like I said, Tom's I know him from over at almost 20 years now We travel all over He he nothing has changed other than ticket charges have gone down and technology But the training you train the market the same way he's been, you know, he's been offering this product forever And it's obviously he is it's obviously been working. So I definitely take him up on that But thanks all time. Thank everybody for being here. I'd like to thank the staff and also for making this possible And I look forward to hopefully everyone had an opportunity to try a little bit of everything And then we'll look at we'll look forward to being touched for our next upcoming cyber expos. Thanks everybody See you all. Have a good one


Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to BC's Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Awards. My name is Hassan Alam, and I am a member of the province's Multicultural Advising Council, which provides advice to the provincial government on issues related to multiculturalism and anti-racism. I'm excited to be your emcee for today's awards ceremony, and I'm joining you today from the traditional and unscrupulous territories of the Coast Salish people, which includes the territories of the Musqueam, the Swaylatu, Squamish, and Stola nations. I'm grateful to the indigenous stewards of these lands for the opportunity to live on this land. As a part of this land acknowledgment, I invite myself first, and all of you, to reflect and learn about the history of the indigenous territories in which you are situated and the colonization, displacement, and marginalization of indigenous peoples which is taking place there. I'm honored to be part of this event to recognize the inspiring and important work that's being done across BC to make this a more just, equitable, and inclusive province. Joining us today is Premier John Horgan, Attorney General David Ebe, and Parliamentary Secretary for Anti-Racism Initiatives, Rushna Singh. We will have the LaPonga dancers performing for us later in the show, and we'll be hearing from our five award recipients who we're all excited to hear from. To begin, I'd like to introduce Florence Dick and Darwin Sewed from the Songhi's First Nation to welcome us to this event. Hi, it's a very big honor to include and do proper territorial acknowledgments of the indigenous people of the land. I am Florence Dick. My Indian name is Naamptanat. I come from the Songhi's First Nations and been doing territorial welcomes probably for over nine years. And it's an honor to be at this stage level doing the welcome with my grandson and educating people how we do re-enter all our teachings onto our children. And I've done this with my grandson, Darwin Sewed. He does the territorial welcome and I ground people to the land of which the awards would have been at. And I'm so grateful to have this and share this knowledge with my grandson and how you would have seen it visually is a blanket ceremony. The blanket ceremony which protects him, covers his heart, which you'll see the blanket on him. The headband you see is actually the headband that protects the words that come out of his mouth. It's an honor and a tradition that's always been in place throughout any ceremonial event that we do as indigenous people. And the little pouch acknowledges the connection we have in this event for today. Hi, it's Ghasian. Hello, everyone. My name is Darwin Sewed. My Indian name is Ghasimit. I am with the Songhees First Nations. I am here to do a territorial welcome in our language. Hi, it's Ghasian. I'm Ghasimit. I'm Ghasimit. I'm Ghasimit. I'm Ghasimit. I'm Ghasimit. I'm Ghasimit. Thank you, everyone. That is a territorial welcome in our Lekwungen language that I taught my grandson. It's always important to acknowledge the ancestors of the land. And educating the people about territorial acknowledgments is so important to the indigenous people. It brings back the strength that we need to be where we are at today. And acknowledging that we are not gone. We're here and will always be here when we hand down teachings, which means the future. I've included my grandson there to be the future voice of our people. And he'll always will be here. I'm the present to remind people we've never went anywhere. We're always going to be here. Hi, it's Ghasian. Thank you, Darwin and Florence, for such a beautiful start to the event and for that territorial acknowledgement. It's truly a privilege to have you with us here today. Now I would like to welcome Premier John Horgan to say a few words about what these awards mean. Thank you very much. And I want to also acknowledge that I am coming to you with my colleague, Roshna Singh, and Attorney General David E.B. from the traditional territory of the Lekongan-speaking people, Dyskwim Alton, Song He's First Nation. And I want to thank Florence Dick and Darwin C. Weed for getting us started in a good way and acknowledge Florence, how important it is to be passing on as a knowledge keeper, passing on your learnings over your lifetime to Darwin and other young people as they come forward. It's truly an inspiration to all of us. Yesterday I was with the Casca Dene in Vancouver and hearing the stories about Dene territory and the sentence that stuck with me was, we're still here, we'll always be here. And of course, that rings so true here on Lekongan territory, where I grew up and have the honor to live in the territory of the South and the Chianu and the Chalmouth peoples in Pichida territory in Port Renfrew. So it is a great day to welcome everyone as we tune in to talk about the celebrations that are before us. Of course, we're marking the International Day of the Elimination of Racism and there is no better way to do that than by recognizing those that are leading the way. Today's awards honor anti-racism champions from around British Columbia. As community leaders, they exemplify the best of British Columbia. Through their actions, we see what it means to build a stronger province, one that is welcoming, just and equitable for everyone.  As we come through the global pandemic, we're reminded of the harshness that many Asian Canadians were met with as COVID had its grip on our community. And although it was a tragic moment in our history, it was also a defining moment. And citizens of all backgrounds stood together and spoke with one voice and said, there is no room for racism in British Columbia. We are dealing with a global pandemic and only if we deal with it together wherever we may have come from to come to these indigenous territories, the only way we will come through this is if we work together. And we have much work to do. We started as government by re-establishing the BC Human Rights Commission. Resilience BC is a provincial anti-racism network that is now operating in over 40 communities. Soon, indigenous focused coursework will be a requirement for citizens or kids to graduate from BC high schools. And we're going to introduce new race-based data legislation in the spring session of the legislature so we can continue to advance a better understanding of our communities and how important they all are. This will help us remove barriers to marginalized citizens and also make it easier to access services. Parliamentary Secretary Rashta Singh has been leading this work in close consultation with communities right across British Columbia. Anti-racism work is about listening and learning from one another, choosing compassion over division, especially when times are tough. As we've learned over the past two years, the times don't get tougher than what we've been through. And because we've been able to do this together, we're better off as a province. To the award recipients and nominees tonight, I say thank you. By celebrating multiculturalism and fighting against racism, you are making British Columbia a better place for everyone. And now I want to turn it back to Hassan and I look forward to enjoying the rest of the program. Thank you, Premier. It's a pleasure to have you here with us today and thank you for the work that your government is doing. Over the last two years, the province has strengthened its commitment to fighting racism in BC. To lead this work in November of 2020, Premier Horgan introduced Suri Green Timber's MLA, Rajna Singh, as the first parliamentary secretary for anti-racism initiatives. Together, we'll be announcing the award recipients for today. And I'd like to extend a warm welcome to Parliamentary Secretary Rajna Singh to say a few words about what the provincial government is doing to tackle racism in this province. Thank you so much, Hassan, for the introduction. I am joining you today from the traditional territories of the Lekwangan-speaking peoples of the Eskenalt and Songhi's First Nations. We are grateful for the history, traditions, perspectives, and ways of life that are foundation of these lands and contribute to our strength and prosperity. Thank you, Florence Dick and Darwin Seabed, from the Songhi's First Nation, for your opening welcome to start our event in the right way. And I would also like to thank Premier Horgan who just made some introductory remarks. I also want to recognize the members of the BC Multicultural Advisory Council who are joining us virtually, including Hassan, our MC for this evening. I would like to acknowledge all of the past award nominees as well as members of our Resilience BC network. Thank you for all that you do to offer support, advice, and leadership on issues of diversity, inclusion, racial oppression, and discrimination. It's important to talk about why we are here today. The last two years have been incredibly challenging. The uncertainty of the pandemic has placed a significant strain on our health and well-being. From losing jobs, family, and friends to struggling with isolation, the impact of COVID-19 will be felt for many years to come. But for Indigenous peoples and racialized communities, there's also been a staggering increase in racism as a result of the pandemic. The Office of the Human Rights Commissioner recently reported that more than a quarter of British Columbians had been victim of hatred or they witnessed it. Those numbers may be shocking for some, but for these communities, it's just another reminder of the daily barriers that they face in their lives. Now more than ever, we must celebrate diversity and recognize those who are fighting back against discrimination. Their efforts are helping to make BC a safer, more inclusive province for everyone. Each year, we come together for this event on March 21st, marking the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. It is a chance to recognize and celebrate those who are strengthening our communities and leading anti-racism efforts across British Columbia. It is also a chance for us to see ourselves within the larger movement of change makers across the province who are taking on the call to stand against racism and hate. There is no place for hate in BC, and we are committed to make this province where everyone is treated with kindness, respect, and dignity. One where no one faces discrimination in their daily lives or systemic barriers that stops them from getting ahead. Soon we will be introducing new legislation to support more consistent collection of personal information such as ethnic origin, ancestry, racial background, or religion. This legislation will help to address systemic racism and pave the way to a more equitable, inclusive province. It will also deliver better outcomes for those who rely on government programs and services such as healthcare, education, and policing. Let me give you a few examples of how this legislation may help. BC Housing has previously collected data about race and found that specific programming was not serving the marginalized populations. Using tangible data, they were able to adjust these programs to improve outcomes for those communities. Social programs such as rental assistance or the affordable childcare are another good example where we can improve access to these programs if data shows there are barriers for applying for some communities. We also know that this is a very complex issue and we must proceed cautiously and with care and understanding. That's why we have developed this legislation in consultation with the Indigenous peoples and following extensive engagement with other racialized communities throughout our province. We will continue to work in partnership with the racialized communities to ensure that they are part of the conversations around how their personal information is used. These conversations will be critical to deciding whether together what information should be collected and how that should be collected. This significant new legislation will build steps that we have taken over the past few years to address racism, including re-establishing the BC Human Rights Commission, launching Resilience BC, our provincial anti-racism network, updating BC's K-12 curriculum to reflect other histories and ways of learning. We know that these actions alone won't put an end to racism. We need to come together as a society to commit to being anti-racist and calling out discrimination when we see it. I hope that you are inspired by the stories of tonight's recipients and are encouraged to take actions against racism, whatever that looks like for you. Now, without further ado, let's celebrate the people of our province who are standing up to racism and making BC an even better place to live, work, and play. And now I'll hand back things to Hassan and to start the show. Thank you, Parliamentary Secretary Singh. And thank you for all the incredible work that you're doing in your role. As a member of the province's Multicultural Advisory Council, I look forward to working with you and the provincial government to stamp out racism and systemic discrimination in all its forms and make this a more inclusive province for everyone who lives here. And as Parliamentary Singh said, it's time for what we're all here for, the awards. I will begin by outlining each of the categories and then Parliamentary Secretary Singh will share our honorable mentions before announcing our award recipients. Our first award of the evening is Intercultural Trust. There are two recipients of this award, which is provided to an outstanding organization or individual for their work in building intercultural trust and understanding and reducing racism and hate between communities. Over to you, Reshna. Thank you again, Hassan, for the Intercultural Trust award. Our two honorable mentions are NISA Helpline from CERI for providing free counseling for up to 800 Muslim women throughout North America through their Confidential Helpline and Kitimat Truth and Reconciliation Committee for working with the Heisle Nation, the District of Kitimat and its resident to put together a month of activities for Truth and Reconciliation in September of 2021. Thank you to both these organizations for the incredible work that they are doing in their communities. And now it's time to announce our first award recipient of the day, Imtiaz Popat from Vancouver. Imtiaz is the co-founder of the Coalition against bigotry, pacific, and the community-based anti-hate task force. He has been a vocal advocate for equal rights and social justice for many years and organized rallies to support the LGBTQS plus and other Indigenous communities. Congratulations, Imtiaz. And please tell us a little bit more about your work and what inspires you. Thank you so much, Reshnaji. You told everybody the work I've been doing but it's been working many years to work with different cultural communities to build that cultural trust against racism and bigotry. And this award means a lot to carry on that work, to double our efforts because the work isn't done. So this will strengthen and empower us to carry on a circle of equality. Thank you so much. Thank you so much, Imtiaz Pai for sharing your story and your commitment to giving a voice to the underrepresented in our province and Canada more broadly. Our second recipient is the stand with the Asian coalition in Burnaby represented by Doris Martadale. The organization is being recognized for its work to support victims of anti-Asian racism and hate crimes. Bringing together cities from across the country last year to proclaim May 10 as Day of Action against anti-Asian racism. They also partnered with the city of Burnaby to create a shoe memorial commemorating the 215 First Nations children who were found in unmarked graves at a formal residential school in Kamloops. These shoes were then donated to the First Nations partners to be provided to children in need. It's great to have you here Doris. Please tell us more about what motivates your work. Good evening Distinguished Guests Premier John Horgan Parliamentary Secretary Honorable Rajna Singh Attorney General Honorable David E.B. My name is Doris Ma. I would like to also recognize that I'm joining this meeting from Ottawa the unceded traditional territory of the unconquered Anishinaabe people. I am the co-founder of the San Juan Asian Coalition. On behalf of our board and our 2,500 Facebook group members I want to sincerely thank the BC government for selecting San Juan Asian Coalition as this recipient of the BC Multiculturalism and Anti-Raisism Award in the category of interracial intercultural trust. I would like to thank our nominator and our reference Burnaby City Councilor James Wang MP Peter Julian. San Juan Asian Coalition Movement started only a year ago in April from my kitchen table after I read the hate crime in Burnaby increased by 350% since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Vancouver saw 700% increase. Few of us came together really quickly to form this coalition because we felt that something got to be done to tackle racism. Many hours went into uniting cities across the country to proclaim May 10th last year as a deal of action against anti-Asian racism. In acknowledging the urgent need to develop more effective policy initiatives and systemic change to protect all Canadians. Well, I would like to thank many grassroots activists across Canada who worked tirelessly to obtain these proclamations from their cities. 8.7 million Canadians were behind our movement last year. Well, this year we're calling all Canadians to join our movement to fight against all forms of racism, hate and discrimination so that we can build a stronger, more inclusive society where everyone can feel safe, happy and healthy. Thank you very much. Congratulations to both of you. We are now going to welcome the Laquanguan dancers for a special performance. Since 1978 the dancers have been performing and sharing their songs at schools, festivals, parades and other events throughout DC. The trope spans multiple generations and includes dancers as young as three as well as members who've been dancing since the group started. It is an honor to have them here to perform for us today. Please join me in welcoming them to the event. Thank you to the Laquanguan dancers for that amazing performance. Again, we were so lucky and fortunate to have you here today and free to bless us with that performance. Next is our Breaking Barriers Award. This is given to individuals or organizations who are tackling systemic or institutional racism and reducing barriers for marginalized communities. There are two awards presented for this category and I'm going to pass it to parliamentary Russia saying to talk about these awards and categories. Thank you, Hasan. And for our Breaking Barriers Awards we have three honorable mentions. Nina Charlie from Lady Smith for helping to organize the first Black Lives Matter rally in Nanaimo in June of 2020 as well as sharing her own experiences with racism to educate others. Stephen Noh from Burnaby for his advocacy for improvements to the reporting of hate crimes in Vancouver as well as his work to promote equity for Asian legal professionals and the community more broadly. And Navjo Jassal from Victoria for developing a program while studying at UVic to provide training and feedback in litigation skills for racialized law students. Thank you all of you for doing for what you are doing to break down barriers and support communities that are impacted by racism. And now for our awards recipients first we have Amy Shelley Fu from Nanaimo for more than 25 years Amy has supported indigenous and marginalized communities including street entrenched youth and the LGBTQS plus population to find housing access education and find work. Over the years she has also worked with many residential school survivors helping them reconnect to their culture and language and find safe housing.

poetry my work continued to bring me the lives parallel to my own people who had fallen through the cracks of foster care LGBTQS addiction and mental health cultural and identity loss an interwoven web of marginalization due to racism hate crimes and exploitation of indigenous women and youth can't be undone the awareness of what the impact of residential school and how it is affected how we are seen is not only imperative our lives depend on it the highway of tears is not an urban legend my work in the north with indigenous youth showed me the scary connection with predatory and criminal behavior against indigenous people and how it ran all the way to Vancouver Island and our kindness has been poisoned with desensitization we turn the channel we cross the street and we think of something else when we hear of the hate crimes as one person I can't do this work alone however with the support of so many organizations behind me I can bring language and culture to those who cannot access it I can bring food to the ones denied entry to most places and I can ask my community to help everyone access safe supply treatment beds detox crisis intervention dignified medical treatment for BIPOC and for youth it's the collaborative efforts of all the teams I have the honor of working with that help it become a reality and all of these things were born from grassroots people thousands of individuals with dreams of bringing safety to their community and by talking about what is really going on out there we give voice to those too scared to report the crimes against them grassroots podcasts radio poetry and storytelling events are giving them a platform for the voices that have been kept quiet literacy is providing the means to write it and to give access to education

again to all of our recipients and thank you for the work that you are doing I'm grateful to everyone who joined us today to Premier Horgan and PS Singh Florence Dick Darwin Seeweed the Laquanguan Nation and our award recipients these awards are an important opportunity for us to come together as a province in order to recognize the individuals from these communities who are engaged in this important and vital work but we know that there is more work to do from the tragic killing of George Floyd to the alarming rise in anti-Asian racism during the past two years we've been harshly reminded that systemic racism is something that continues to plague our communities and is something that must be continuously acknowledged and confronted despite these challenges communities of color have been resilient and have mobilized to fight racism and dismantle systemic barriers that we face in order to create a more just and equitable society ultimately though we dream of a day where there's no longer a need to recognize individuals who are engaged in fighting racism because we live in a society where everyone regardless of color are viewed as being equal in closing I hope you join me in not only imagining this future but also fighting for it to everyone watching at home I hope that you're inspired by the stories you've heard today because I am and that these champions of anti-racism motivate you to stand against discrimination and hatred too as we say goodbye I'd like to welcome Attorney General David E.B. to provide some final remarks before we close thank you everyone Thank you so much Asan and congratulations to all our champions of anti-racism on your awards and your amazing work and your compelling remarks during this ceremony Throughout the pandemic our province has seen a really disturbing rise in discrimination and hatred we've seen physical and verbal attacks vandalism and racist graffiti racialized communities who have been targeted for their race people targeted for their ethnicity their faith or simply the color of their skin As a government we're committed to fighting this racism in all its forms but we can't do it alone that's why it's so nice to have a hopeful event like this to recognize champions fighting racism in our province but it's not just our award winners tonight there are so many individuals and organizations across the province that are supporting those affected by racism that are changing systems for the better and bringing people together to celebrate our diverse communities you and they are inspirational examples of how we should treat each other with kindness dignity and respect I encourage everyone in the province to join together to fight against racism it's time to commit to be anti-racist and to have important conversations together we must do more to challenge the status quo to speak up when we see examples of racism and fundamentally shift our institution so that everyone can be included by working together we can build a more inclusive and welcoming province congratulations again to all of the nominees and to the recipients of the awards for your wonderful work thank you


G'day. Welcome to Buitlosophy. My name is Teck and I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands that I live and work on, the Wajik people of the Greater Nongar Nation. Now, I'm really excited because I've just been to the post office and I've picked up this box which says trusty original, which means it's from whites. So as I say, I'm really excited because I came back from vacation and this was waiting for me at the post office and I just went to pick it up this morning. It's a box from whites. Let's get into it. Let's open her up, which I imagine is through here and in there, in the shipping box is the whites box. Let's get her out. So, white box, authentic whites, handmade boots, Spokane, Washington. This is really exciting for me. We'll open her up now. This is white's Fulton boot, which I haven't seen many reviews of on the internet, but it's a very interesting design. As you can see, it's a mock-toe and my understanding is this is a true mock-toe with two pieces of leather sewn together in the mock-toe version. It's an eight-inch boot from the heel, a padded collar for comfort, brass eyelets and brass bead hooks, and an eyelet at the top. So four, four, and an eyelet at the top. This is the Goodyear welted version, which is a cheaper version because it's faster to make and the Goodyear welted boots from whites are around the mid-300s, postage to Australia included during the high 300s. This is in the brown distress leather, which I don't know too much about and I don't know which tannery it comes from, but I'll obviously research that when I do a bit more of a deep dive into these boots. The feel of it in the brown distress is I think a newbuckier waxed or oiled newbuck kind of feel to it. The tongue is almost fully gusseted, almost right to the top, and you can see that the leather has a bit of pull-up in it, as you can see as I sort of put pressure on it from the other side. This has a Vibram midsole, so I understand that's rubber. It has a Vibram honey lug commando sole, so should be quite comfortable. And from what I can see from this boot, you know, it's really well made. Triple stitching, two rows of double stitching. Well stitched along the eyelets, smells beautiful. There's a little recess pull loop, which is quite good because then it shouldn't be catching on your pants. Reasonably thick and wide tongue. This is made in Spokane, Washington at the headquarters of Whites. And as I say, I haven't really heard or seen too many reviews of these boots. This is the other pair, they've been a little bit crushed in the in the packing. But again, I don't see any sort of weird things in their stitching. A little bit of sawdust falling out, whatever that was, interesting. And they come with these tasselon laces, which I don't mind, I quite like these tasselon laces. I might switch them over for leather at some stage, but we'll see. So let's get them on feet and we'll take a look.  As I say, I haven't seen too many reviews of these boots on the internet or on YouTube, but I really like the look of them because of their mock toe effect, as well as their distress brown leather. I think as a pair of Wolt boots, they're really interesting, particularly with the Vibram mini lug sole. The fit is really good. These are size eight, my usual half down from Brannick type sizing. They are eight inch boots, full grain distress brown leather, which I think is a kind of old new buck, and White says that it's water resistant leather. The brass hardware is pretty shiny, but I think we'll probably wear really well. The tasselon laces are crazy long, but that's fine. They wrap around. They are good your Wolt construction, which means they're machine sewn, not hand sewn. They don't have the famous Wolt's rolled Wolt, although they do have a storm Wolt lip. There's a Vibram rubber full slip midsole and a Vibram honey lug sole. They look pretty good to me. There's also a composite shank in these, rather than a leather shank. All in all, that's why they sell for the $350 odd dollars, rather than the $500s and above. It's on the 1972 Arch Ease Last, which means it's not as high in the arch and makes for a little bit easier break-in, and I can feel the comfort ortho-light footbed, which means that they actually feel really soft underfoot, particularly with the honey lug sole as well, which is a softer rubber composition. So there you go, eight inches with a comfort padded collar. I think that's very comfortable. The fit at 8D is perfect for my feet. Right, let's wrap this up. So that's my first impressions and the unboxing of the White's Fulton work boot. I hope you like the first impressions and the unboxing, and of course, as usual, I'll wear them for a few weeks and I'll bring you a more in-depth review when I look at the whole boot and a full review of the construction and how they wear, and then I'll do my usual thing and bring them back to you in about a year's time and see how well they perform. In the meantime, I'm sure you know what to do. If you like this video, and I hope you did, please click on the like button. If you haven't subscribed, and I need to ask you why you haven't, click on the subscribe button. I'm going to bring you a lot more boot reviews and boot comparisons, so I'm sure you don't want to miss those. So until the next time, take care and I'll see you soon.
