I went to all the trouble of splicing together the short, snappy little click in every damn time. I'm looking for the mute button for them, folks. No one who cares what Toos says. Well, Toos, it is a mashup 27. And it's brought to you by our good friends over at Rohan Rig Services. Tews would be lucky to work there. Of course, they are hiring for all positions, all the information in the show notes. How's Toos doing this weekend?

You know what? I would be pretty lucky to work there. They are pretty well known across the industry for having good iron, so they do have that. Great to be back on the mashup 27. On this side and Tuesday side, we're dealing with a little bit of technical difficulties as Tuse calls in from up north, up north in the Great White North.

Either way, how's Tews doing this week on another Tuesday mashup? Tews is great, except for the fact that he's been a little bit sick, but he's been drinking NyQuil like crazy. And this stuff is just high octane. Like you'd swear to God, it was just hand-mixed by Bill Cosby himself. So that's been pretty good.

All right on. Well, here, I want to get to, we spoke briefly about Rohan, rig services, the sponsor of the mash up here on number 27. But I want to get to some listeners' texts as well. Here's one. You know, we've been trying to get all the different provinces

and see if they're tuning in. Well, here's one. Hey, Sean, Mike and I, sorry, I'm sorry, Mike. Lynn L. Hanaff. Oh, man, I'm terrible. From Whitehorse. Really enjoy the podcast. I've been loyal listeners since your coverage of the convoy.

Probably bring down some Yukon brewing lager and some of their single malt whiskey to share. I tell you what, single malt whiskey sounds pretty damn good to me. I've had that Yukon whiskey, if it's the one I'm thinking of, and it's pretty deadly. I don't imagine there's a whole lot of distilleries up in the Yukon. I can't imagine that either, too. It'll be fun.

Oh, fuck, there's like a two-second delay. We're going to do our best here today. We had two lovely ladies, sisters. They were out paddling in a bonus park in Calgary. Always listen to the Tuesday mashup. And they're coming to Lloyd to see us, too. So that's pretty cool. I also had,

That's awesome. Keep the Tuesdays coming, please, from Newfoundland. A lady had reached out to me back in August, and I'd forgotten all about it. That's Shannon Darbs. So Shannon Darbs showed to you. So we got Newfoundland. We got Yukon. And then we had a couple more come sliding in.

This is Aaron from Mornville. Have you thought of interviewing Blacklocks? I don't know why I'm saying this, because this is what Tews always tells me. Anyways, Aaron showed out to her as well, because she's a listener of the Tuesday mashup as well. So, hey, what can I say? There's a few different... And you got Tom Korski lined up right away, too, don't you? Tom Korski...

Damn, is it next week? I want to say it's the next week. I can't remember off the top of my head to as you're putting me on the spot. That's what I do here. We got a lot of fun coming on the podcast. We got a lot of fun coming for you here in 2-7. And I love hearing from all the different listeners.

I think we're short Northwest Territories. None of it. Quebec. P.E.I? Does that sound about right? That's about it. twos. I think that's all we're missing. Did we have P.E. or did I just make a joke at their expense? I don't think we've had P.E. have we? I tell you what, if we have had P.E. They're going to let us know,

they're going to let us know soon enough because people don't like to let me off on making silly mistakes. So either way. Now, let's start the timer here and we're going to get to our first first headline Pullev brannishes balls by bailing on bailout ball oh man this is

gallery this is Justin Trudeau yes press gallery talking here he has this I don't know what I'm curious what Tuz has to say about this

but one of the things he says he has this long 20 minute speech where he pretty much ross everyone yeah one of the things he said about Pierre was tweaking he's not here tonight because he's tweaking his

YouTube algorithms, but if you wanted him to come, you should have just told him you were occupying the museum and he would have shown up with his timbits. Anyways, and one other one he said was, I have a lot of, lots of fans, some of them even redesigned the Canadian flag with my name on it. If I didn't hate Trudeau so much, I might have found some of it kind of funny, but I'm just not a big trouble. Well, I think, what did you think? For the one side of it, he did have one good line in there.

I guarantee you he didn't write any of this. but whoever wrote his speech had one good line in there where he was talking about Polyev and he said that you know he must have had a bad time growing up in Alberta in the 80s with his name being Pierre which I thought was that was pretty good and there's no damn way Justin would have put the time and work into writing something nearly that clever it's funny like even just putting together a few minutes of material for the fifth has been an arduous task on my end but Polyeb decided not to attend this press gallery, which is a tuxedo event where the politicians and the media show up and sit around having cheap, ineffectual laughs and telling each other how awesome

they are for hours on end. And I don't know why anybody would want to attend in the first place. If anything, that should be the news. It shouldn't be the news that someone said, I didn't want to go to this idiot fest. It should have been news that some people looked at it and said, oh, that's interesting. I would really like to reserve my place at this establishment on that particular evening. That's the news. I agree. Okay.

Fact-based policy takes backseat to divisiveness. We're talking about guns on this one. And there was a lot because in one stand or one, the government comes out and says, there's an immediate ban on handguns and then, you know, what ensues is what always seems to ensues when our lovely government says something. Here was one of the

tweets. Last night, this was the Toronto Police Association. Last night, officers attempted to arrest man for a previous shooting incident. The man evaded arrest and deliberately fired multiple shots at our officers. As a man sought covering his home, he continued to fire on our members. Thankfully, no one was injured.

Responding officers were able to arrest the suspect without any use of force. The man has been charged with three counts of attempt to murder and various firearm offenses. At the time of this incident, the suspect was under two different court-imposed prohibitions for firearms. We deserve better, you deserve better. This on the heels of saying there's a, you can't get a fire, you know, a handgun.

And then part of another article read, they choose to stick it to the law-abiding target shooters instead of gun-toeing gangsters who didn't even wait until the ink was dry on the new rules to show what they think of them. The shooters understand the federal handgun ban only applies to legal gun owners and not them. Well, it's funny. I think that this guy who was shooting at the cops, it's just a classic case of a lack in education. Obviously, this guy isn't on Twitter, or he would have known that shooting at police officers is legal, and then he wouldn't have done it because he would have realized that he was in the wrong for having a firearm

and definitely for unloading it with the intention to kill people and there's no other way he could have known this and that's the only thing is just we need to educate these people better and just tell them that things are extra illegal now even though they were illegal before mashup has listeners in Deutsche

You wanted to find out where everybody's listening from Scientists Rebellion No shit members of scientist rebellion in a collection of so-called academics dressed in white lap coats superglued themselves to concrete floor of the Porsche Pavilion. And I don't even know how to say this. Autostat in the Volkswagen luxury cars exhibit in Wolfsburg as a protest against carbon emissions. And they get quoted as,

nine of us glued to the floor and some of us on hunger strike and tell our demands to decarbonize the German transport sector are met. Then later on, the article reads, I quote, staff refused our request to provide us with a bowl to urinate and defecate in a decent manner while we are glued and have now turned off the heating. And then one of the main guys later on had about 26 hours had to be taken away because doctors, finally, when they were let in, ascertained the possibility of a life-threatening blood clot from the glue he used in his hand, possibly in his hand, and recommend an immediate transfer to a hospital. My health, of course, is a paramount, and I accepted to leave him. this wonderful group who has taken on the hospital.

So first off, anyway, tunes it just... I would say first off, the blood clots probably aren't related to the super glue. But also, this is the exact stuff that we were talking about two, three, four weeks ago where we said that the next time someone super glues themselves to a road or does something like that, you don't make a big deal out of it. You don't get in the paramedics to save them. you just set up some pylons, let the traffic drive around, and they can stay there shitting themselves because they can't leave

until they feel embarrassed and get somebody to bail them out. And that's how you deal with people. If people want to act stupid, don't stop them from acting stupid. Just let them act stupid. And so anyway, this is what we were talking about in like 24, 25, maybe 23 of the Tuesday mashups. We said let them just do this exact same thing. And obviously we have listeners in Germany because they did that exact thing. And I think it's beautiful.

Does that mean like not only is government listening to us, but now businesses, of course, across the world are listening to the Tuesday mashup as well? Well, Porsche is a big conglomerate with a whole lot of other car companies and a lot of divested interests. And they're one of, they're some of the most wealthy, influential. people in the world. So it really only makes sense that they would be listening to the Tuesday mashup. Canada gets tougher on border crossers. Uh, as if, anyways, what a poor headline too. Anyways, the Zach Brown band doesn't get all their band members across the border and, uh, they

cancel a show. And now this doesn't have to relate with COVID. This has to relate with, uh, um, previous charges that are over 10 years ago. And it's what, what reads funny in the article, is they didn't get across this time, but they've been already across multiple times this year, all of them. So they're basically saying, you know, like, it's pretty finicky. You'd never know if you're getting across the Canadian border because you've got the will of one border agent if he sees you favorable or not, essentially. And isn't it funny how you give mediocre people a little bit of authority

and they'll just sometimes take it to extreme levels? I mean, we saw this with lockdowns and you see this with meter. maids and and mall cops and things like that and this is just another one of those things where like i don't know maybe he just didn't like country music i mean like if if you think we got any mall cops listening to us well probably not they're probably listening to i tell you what i if somebody's a mall cop listening to us that's pretty cool uh and you got to shoot me a text and you got to rant on twos right now set me straight um but the chances are pretty slim i'll give you that that twos. Yeah, it's probably pretty slim on that. If we're going to close our borders to

recording artists, can we start with somebody like Justin Bieber or maybe Nickelback? I get that they're both Canadian, but when they leave, we just kind of just locked the door behind them. Just throwing it out there. Just throwing it out there. Just a little suggestion you guys could take with it what you will, but it's something to think about. If you work at border security and you're listening to this right now, you could make Canada a better place. Shocker. Trudeau lies. So, let's start.

There was multiple articles here. I mean, the fact that Trudeau lies has been a theme for 27 bloody, freaking. 26. We did one episode where we didn't talk about them at all. So, so. Sure. Okay.

Okay, too, is okay. So then whatever. Anyways. Since 1988, Canada has set its sights on eight different greenhouse gas emission targets. Six of them have come and gone and Canada never came anywhere close to meeting them. The next target is set for 2030, as we all know, and requires Canada to get to emissions to 55 to 65 to 60% of what they were in 2005. Based on emission levels in 2020, meeting the new target would mean cutting about 23 million tons of emissions a year on average.

That's the equivalent of taking 5 million passenger cars off the road every 12 months until the end of the decade. And Trudeau said it can be done. Yeah. Taking the cars off that meeting the emissions can be made. If we want to get that many million tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, there's really only one solution. And that's to get Justin Trudeau a Zoom membership. Jay's hold them at home, too.

He'd do it from Defino and he'd find a way not to call in. The internet's shoddy. I can't make it. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get Starlink to work on a surfboard man? We didn't even talk about the other one, but that's fine. It was just more of the same. Women, well, with Trudeau, it's always more of the same. Financial Post, women really want to be in the kitchen.

We all know that as a 2's headline through and through. No, that was from the financial post. You know, when I first read it, Tuesday, it was not. You wondered for a second? Did you seriously wonder for a second if I was fucking with you or if I was serious? The financial post. Yeah, I did. And I actually pulled it up.

And actually the, that, dumbass. I'm feeling a little gullible tonight, folks. Oh, fuck, fuck you, buddy. Anyways, what read it interesting in it is when you first said, I'm like, oh, God, like, I'm going to, like, why do we got to talk about this Tuesday, right? Because we're going to talk about Jordan Peterson.

But then, actually, well, what reads crazy in this article. So they go on this, you know, tirade about women leaving occupations because, you know, and they're not getting promoted and all these things. But here's one of the people in the article. I had this epiphany that life is really short, and there's no reason why I need to be somewhere that is not serving me, said Brian, who wanted more expansive role.

That mindset helped nudge Bryant, who is black, which I don't know why that matters in this fucking article, but beyond me, to jump to wise hire an online hiring platform where she's now vice president of marketing. I'm like, oh, so she just made a hop. Don't we all do that? I'm just like, you kind of get stuck and, There's nowhere to go up so you look across and go, oh, I can hop there.

This doesn't seem that crazy. Another thing at the end that I found interesting was as companies continue tweaking their telecommuting policies after the explosion of remote work brought on by the pandemic, they found that only one in ten female employees want to work from the office most of the time. So they're asking for more companies to equate or build a hybrid work schedule that allows, women to stay at home essentially. And women, finally, the end quote, women are not breaking up with work. They are breaking up with the companies who are not delivering the work culture and the opportunity and the flexibility that is so critically important to them. That's what the articles

are. Honestly, depending on what your role is and how comfortable you are in it, like I know I used to work at a company. I got out of the oil field for a couple years and I worked for a company that had a bunch of people working from home all the time. And that was really frustrating for me to be learning a lot and trying to track down people when you're like one of the, you're the only person in the office kind of thing. And working from home I've found can be really good if you just got a lot of, get a lot of stuff done

and you don't want people knocking on your door all the time and bugging you. And it's kind of an interesting way to, it's, I would say it's very much role specific. But I just found it interesting that all these women in leadership roles are saying that they don't want them. And Jordan Peterson talked about it. And he said that, you know, the question isn't like, why are there so few women in leadership roles? It's why are there even any men in these crazy demanding roles?

And so with the, I guess the affirmative action that you've seen a lot lately where people are in companies are. are pushing women to pursue these roles. And then they'll say, okay, yeah, I'll give it a try. You know, if you, yeah, yeah, yeah, shut up already. I'll put in for this job. And then they get the job. And then they find out they don't want it. And it's, it's funny that when you push a bunch of people in a direction, they don't want

to go, they end up leaving it and going back in another direction. And I find nothing in this article to be remotely surprising. Yeah, I, I hear what you're saying. I guess I just, the headline tries to lay out that. women are being discriminated against, I guess, is the way I took it. And I certainly have listened to Jordan Peterson talk about it. But the way the article reads doesn't even set up what they're talking about. It literally just talks about how they made some changes.

And I don't know about you, but I've made a change recently, you know, that was, you know, less money but more flexible and a hell of a lot of fucking fun. And I mean, like, you constantly navigate the working world. That is the working world. Navigating like opportunities and do I want to do, you know, and going back forth. Anyways, that's what I took out of it. Anyway, that's me. Elon Musk to introduce sound business practice to Twitter.

Twitter employees took to social media site. They fear they would be laid off from Thursday night after documents emerged showing that Elon Musk plans to cut the workforce by 75%. It says corporate documents obtained by the Washington Post reveal the billionaire told, prospective investor is in his $44 billion deal to buy the social media giant. He plans to get rid of three quarters of its 7,500 workers. That would leave the company with just a skeleton crew of over 2,000 employees, which experts say would make it difficult for the social media company to tamp down on what it deems to be misinformation.

Because that's all they care about. It's not, can this company do a good job? What's the going concern going to look like for them? It's just simply a case of how are they going to tell them? the evil orange man that he can't be here if they don't have that job anymore. It's funny, like they said in the article that there was 7,500 employees and the annual payroll was something like $1.5 billion, which works out to an average salary, assuming that it's all even round numbers from the article, of $200 grand a year is the median, or

pardon me not the median, but the mean salary. The median would probably be a little bit, or The median would be a little bit more accurately reflective because there's going to be some people really high on the top end of that. But that wasn't given. But when the average salary is 200K a year, yeah, I'd say there's probably a lot of room to get rid of people. And you could even outsource a bunch of stuff and save a ton of money. 100%. And all I hear of is 200K salaries. Jeez, that sounds an awful lot like going to work in the oil field.

I know this company that sponsors the Tuesday mashup where I believe if you put your, you know, if you get your hands a little dirty twos and go to work, I feel like you can make some pretty good money for them. No wait, we got this premiere right now, this lady called Daniel Smith that seems to be saying a whole lot of things that I think most of Canada has been waiting for. So you might want to just slide over to Alberta,

take a look at the show notes, click on that, give them a call, see what you can do because if you're like, oh, I don't know, inflation's going through the fucking roof, uh, food's going through the fucking roof, uh, energy's going through the roof.

Everything's going through the roof. I mean, one way to, uh, get out of that is to get to a province that ain't going to lock you down so you can go to work every day and, uh, uh,

make some good de Niro because I don't think we all can land jobs at Twitter. And it doesn't sound like for a lot of those Twitter employees. And if you happen to be one of those Twitter guys, listen to this right now and you end up being one of the 75% that have been let go. Apply at Rohan today. Well, I don't know. They don't get to sit inside.

Can you imagine a Twitter employee showing up to work the rigs? Man, I would love to see it. But they would get, can you imagine the fun the boys would have? How much fun would you have with a Twitter employee coming to work the rigs too? Well, I would do all sorts of professional and very even-handed. And there's no way that I'd put pipe dope on some coffee cups and stick them on. onto their head when they're doing wellhead bolts and I wouldn't get them to

cut the line when you're doing a slip and cut blindfolded and then put their hard head over top and I definitely wouldn't ask them if they knew what a shitbird was democracy is a far right extremism

that was the easiest headline and you mangled it horribly I'm still laughing about you ask. Do you even know what that is? We'll talk about it offline if you don't. No, no clue. Sure.

That sounds great. Sounds great. You don't want to tell the listeners what a shit bird is? So you talk it up for like a couple days ahead of time. Supposedly. Supposedly this is what you do. Is, you know, you just be like, oh, you ever seen a shipbird before? And then the new guy's like, no, no, I never heard of it.

Supposedly. And then you'll, you know, they're like, oh, yeah. It's just these little brown birds and they look like shit and that's why you call them shitbirds and And and then you know, you'll just be like oh did you see that shitbird just flew into the trees You know for a couple days you you build them up the the trick to really good office pranks is building people up over a long period of time And so anyway then you get somebody to just take a crap like out in the middle of an area and then you cover it up with a pail and then supposedly I've never done this

but I've just heard this story a bunch so you've got this upside down pale over top and then you'd be like dude dude dude dude dude get over here get over here and someone's holding down the pail and he'd be like we got one and he's like what we got a shitbird what are you talking about

remember the shitbirds you saw one the other day going to the trees well I didn't see it well we got one right here right now thump on the pail and then they're like what are you gonna do And be like, wow, you got to catch it. What are you talking about?

You got to catch the shit bird. And so then you get them to like get down and get in a ready position and just be like, be ready. Because like as soon as this pail comes up, it's going to go flying. So you got to grab it like as soon as the pail comes up. And then he picked the pail up and then they reach out and they grab a piece of shit. Supposedly. It's by far the greasiest prank I've ever heard of.

Can we just end the episode there? Can we just end on shitbird or we got to get through the last couple? No, we've got to talk about the other shitbirds. Oh my God. We got to talk about the shitbirds in politics. Like the rooster slurper. Story. Story time with twos on the Tuesday mashup.

I tell you what, we better get some bloody t-shirts made with shitbird on it and rooster slurper and probably a whole bunch of other things. Story time with twos. I feel like everybody would just, I would wear that around. Anyways, besides me, where the hell were we? Democracy is far right. I think That's right And this is a strange story

I had not heard about this one So this Okay, so let me do my best here To work through the article So people understand Because when I read this I had no idea Which is crazy for how close I paid attention to the Alberta election

And the way it happened with Daniel Smith Which I thought was odd Having a you know The UCP have a you know A guy stepped down and whatever else Well BC's had something similar Okay, but here it is. In the coming weeks,

BC will be doing something and almost never happens in Canadian politics. It will swear in a new leader without so much as a debate, a leadership race, or even a caucus vote. Premier John Hogan will resign

and his 46-year-old Returney General David Eby, who is set to become NDP leader on Friday, will drive to government house in Victoria to take the oath as the provinces 37th Premier. Ebby's signature qualification

for the job, he was the only leader, only one in the first. the BC and NDPU put his name for her to become its next leader. Which is exactly true. So, okay, here we go. Ebby's sole challenger was, ah, fuck, I don't know, Anjali Apiduri, like it doesn't matter, a Vancouver-based climate change activist whose resume is composed almost exclusively of positions

for BC environment nonprofits, including the Sierra Club, West Coast Environmental Law, and the David Suzuki Foundation. In announcing her canacy on August 11th, she said a promise sweeping, and transformative changes, and indeed her platform promised one of the most radical green agendas in the world history, including immediate suspension of oil and gas development,

a ban on sale of gas-powered vehicles by 2030 and pledged to sue big oil. And then she essentially got booted, and at the core of the allegations, was working with these environmental nonprofits, such as Dogwood Political Action Group, to recruit new members with the explicit, promise they would only have to be NDPers

long enough to put her name in the leader's chair. Yeah, so she went around saying, I don't care. Like, I get that you don't care about the NDP or whatever, but if you care about our radical green agenda, just join for like a day, put your vote in, and then cancel your membership

and go back to being part of the Green Party or whatever else. So it was kind of an attempted coup, I guess, allegedly anyway. She said that everything was on the up and up, and they said it was shady as hell. And I don't know if it broke any explicit laws or if they had any direct evidence of contravening bylaws or anything like that.

But the end result is that there was two candidates, and they looked at them and said, one of you guys isn't going to run, and the other one is winner by default. And this person isn't just the leader of some irrelevant party. They're now the premier of British Columbia. It's absolutely wild to. In saying that, you know, I'm having a flashback.

You recall in one of our previous episodes, we talked literally about something we should just get a bunch of people to sign up for the NDP in Alberta and get Nottley out. And now I'm like, I'm like, I don't know if that's legal. And I'm like having flashbacks to that episode where we suggested that. I suggest that. I'm like, why wouldn't, if it only takes whatever it was, hundreds of people to put notley in place of the NDP to be the official opposition, why wouldn't you just go in and boot her out

and get a bunch of people? Well, that was just tried in B.C. Well, you had Aaron Gunn tried running for the Liberal Party leadership in B.C. and they just deemed him to be an unacceptable candidate because he was too common sense, too hard-headed, too regular, everyday approachable part of the people rather than the establishment,

or at least that's how it seemed from the outside. And then Corey Morgan, I think maybe I mentioned this because it's the first thing that came to mind when you started mentioning Rachel Notley was he tried to run in Banff for the provincial NDP and they went ahead and canceled his, like, I don't know, the seat was opening up or something like that. And so he tried to get the nomination to become the MLA for the NDP,

and they just nixed the whole thing. They just said, fuck you, you can't come here. You're not welcome. Well, there you go, folks. Democracy. Breaking the law is okay as long as it's not during your hearing. Sorry. Is this where I talk

Or is this where you talk? Or is this the one that you didn't read? This is definitely where you talk, Tews. This is what you fucker? You always bring it out to the listeners. Sorry, listeners. Tews sent me an article which I couldn't get into. So as Tews, I asked him about it before we start the show.

You think he would just leave that out of there and be like the common guy and just be like night? No, he's got to be a dick about it. Thanks, Tews. Have we met? Please proceed as the one who's read the fucking article, you prick. Okay, well, the Brian Packford, lawsuit going against the federal government, looking at the constitutionality of the travel

lockdowns has been thrown out of court without a hearing because they're no longer in effect. And so, I mean, it's just an interesting bit of logic because you could say, all right, well, you know, we've got you in court today because you murdered somebody. And you say, well, maybe I did, maybe I didn't, but I'm definitely not murdering them right now. so why are we even talking about this? And they would say, okay, fair enough, dismissed. Like, this is a really stupid bit of flawed logic that hides our government from an honest discussion

about what they can and can't do. The ineptitude that they were? Yeah. Yes, absolutely. They threw out the case and now it's getting appealed and everything else. It's pretty wild, right? Like to think that they have the power to just like,

no, we're good. Like that isn't even in the case anymore. We're good. We don't care. We don't care. We're going to move on. Lucky to have a job. Recording has been leaked.

Man, has this been a saga? An audio recording of Lucky holding a conference call with the RCP officers and officials on April 28th, 2020 has been posted on the website of the Nova Scotia Mass Casualty Commission. And the recording confirms that we all first thought back, or were first told back in June that Lucky pressured officers to release information about the investigation for political reasons. I quote, does anybody realize what's going on in this world of handguns and guns right now? Lucky asked her some ordinance on the call. The fact they're in the middle of trying to get legislation going, the fact that legislation is supposed to actually help police. And I liked how the guy ended

the article with Brenda Lucky should do the honorable thing and resign, but there is a little honor left in Ottawa and I won't hold my breath waiting on her letter. I thought, yeah, like at this point, like, I mean, how much more guilty does anyone have to be of, like, doing the absolute wrong thing at one of the worst times in Canadian history? Deny, deny, deny, oh, wait, there's a recording. Well, this is the smoking gun. And it makes perfect sense that the liberals want to ban them. This is incontrovertible proof that Bill Blair lied during the commission when he told Raquel, what's her name that liberal or pardon me a conservative MP from

Manitoba in the in the inquiry about this or the committee whatever the hell you want to call it it's all bureaucracy but anyway he flat out lied about this because she said and and there's transcripts there's a recording of it and you can you can go to the commission website and listen to the recording I did and she specifically says that she has to get on like she's got a message on her phone now from Bill Blair and she's got to get on the phone with him and tell him that she let him down again. And so she had this big meeting with a half dozen people wondering why one specific person didn't put the talking notes in his public address that she had specifically

wanted to. It was a really ineffectual way to manage, like if you're a manager and you've got somebody who doesn't do what you want them to do to address it with a half. half dozen subordinates around you is a really ineffectual way to do it. And then just the fact that the meeting went on for a half hour, it meandered all over the place. It touched on a couple kind of important things, but it didn't really seem to have a clear agenda. Like this is a very poorly ran meeting and it was just almost cringe to listen to. And you wonder how somebody who's so ineffective at dealing with people in a setting like this ever rose to the literal top of her profession. Yeah, I mean, to bring you to another inquiry, you know, the one going on about the freedom convoy right now, like hearing all these different police and politicians and everything else, you know, like I've been taught since a very young age, you don't lie, right?

Like that's the utmost importance. And certainly when you're swearing on the Bible and things like that, you should not lie. And then you watch person after person get up there and basically lie on stage. Like it is, and you go back to Bill Blair. I mean, like, literally in the call, she talks about having to talk to him. It's like, this is the most absurd thing. Me and twos would be in jail right now, rotting away for the rest of our life. These fucks just get to do whatever they want, whenever they want.

They get to stand on stage, lie in front of everybody. There's nothing to hold on account. No, absolutely nothing. It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. If I ever have to go in front of a judge and plead my case and I'm guilty as hell for whatever it is that I've done, yeah, whatever. I don't know, jaywalking or some stupid shit. I'm just going to be like, Your Honor, I self-identify as a politician.

And then I'll ask them to try me as a politician. Which means you can get away with murder. Pretty darn much. Union writing laws. What could go wrong? The proposed law is part of Trudeau's platform commitment as well as the Prime Minister's confidence and supply agreement with the Labor-friendly New Democrat Party. Struck in March, the power-sharing deal will likely stave off another election until 2025, basically talking about the use of replacement workers, pits workers against each other. It's undignified and it's dangerous, O'Regan said at a news conference in Ottawa, the best skills are made at the negotiating table.

I believe I'm getting this right to is when I say companies when when union workers go on strike get replacement workers and they're going to make that Yeah, so if I'm understanding this and it's going to depend on how it gets drafted But it basically means that when a company When their workers go on strike the company just stops working And so it's interesting because it's really going to put the companies into a corner because you can't really negotiate a good deal when you've got a gun to your head. And so they're more or less just going to say, okay, well, pull the trigger. Or they're going to, this is the kind of thing that's so extreme that there's going to be

some sort of corporate backlash regarding it. And I feel like they're not going to like the consequences of it. And it's just going to devolve and things are going to get worse. This is, it's a bridge too far. And I don't know if the unions are ready for the. amount of shit that's going to come down on them for for getting this push forward from the ndp arrive can app costs subject to just inflation man this the arrive can app i hope that you know i hope this never comes into our talks ever again but man if it ain't one week

where we aren't going to talk about government spending here we go okay the initial version of the federal government's arrive can app uh was only supposed to cost uh 80 000 dollars two years ago according to a cost breakdown. But it is still expected to cost now a total of $54 million by March 2023 because of multiple updates, employee benefits, blah, blah, blah, blah. Here's the breakdown. Just real quick, I would say $80,000 two years ago with the current going rate of inflation is roughly $54 million today. Not quite, but fair.

I get where you're going. Here's the breakdown of some of the money, okay? 2's $8.8 million for more than 70 updates of the app. Okay, 8.8 million for 70 updates. 7.5 million for the service Canada call center for travelers. 5.2 million for data management in order to collect, report, monitor, border measures, and results. 4.9 million is listed as indirect costs associated with the project, including employee benefits, and payment to other government departments, whatever the fuck that means.

4.6 million to authenticate proof of vaccination delivered by provinces. 4.6 million for cloud hosting services. Are you shitting me? cloud hosting is pretty expensive. $4.5 million for technical support. Amazon Web Services is the only part of Amazon that makes money. And, well, I mean, up until the pandemic when everybody had to order everything from home. But yeah, web hosting isn't super cheap, although I imagine that they had a whole lot of superfluous data in there that they didn't need to have hosted, but they paid for anyway because fuck, who cares?

Well, I mean, it's just, just frustrating. And then, okay, you're like, okay, this is the most ridiculous. this thing. No, it gets worse. It goes, a parliamentary committee on Monday planned to hold hearings into the costs associated with the Rivecan app. Efforts by conservatives to have federal ministers testify were struck down by liberals with the support of the block

of the NEPA. The liberals voted to not hold the liberals. Beyond irritable. This is what we talked about last week. Accountable, right? Yes. Like, at the end of the day, it's ineptitude. The stupid, like, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,

The patients are running the asylum right now. I don't know more I got left to say about the Liberal Party. About... That's right. On to 13. Good news, twos. Good news? Well, pretty good news.

It's not great news for the bear. I mean, well, it's true. Bear attack near Cody, Wyoming, two wrestlers owed hunting, and the one gets mauled. The other one jumps on the bear's back, and basically they fight off the bear. both live they're a little worse for where but uh i mean they both live i think this is pretty cool i mean this flies in the face of all conventional hiking and you know traveling out in the wilderness wisdom where you want to take your fatest slowest friend with you so that when the bear comes you get away scot-free these guys were all for one one for all all the way the bear attacks the

one dude the dude like just imagine the pair of balls you need to jump up on the back of a grizzly bear and start fighting it willingly. Like, that's impressive. Yeah, that is impressive. I'll give you that. Imagine the adrenaline rush that went through that guy as he's like, well, I mean, one, you got one of your best friends, I assume, getting mauled. So, I mean, the adrenaline already, but then to jump on the back and start, like,

reefing on this thing. Like, that'll be something you don't forget anytime. Well, depending on how much brain damage he had. Maybe they'll make him president of the United States. Happy news, twos. Well, that'll do it for episode 27 twos. I'm glad we found a way to string through, you know, poor audio connection, everything else. It seems like once every couple weeks when you head up north, we got to make a shift

and we got to find a way to make it work. But we survived and I hope that, well, November 5th is coming quick. You remember us talking about this like, maybe it was last week, maybe it was a week before. I can't remember now. I was saying something I think we had at that time like 40 or 50 tickets left. We're down to just under 25. So we're closing in on a sellout and tickets are available now until the 31st, I want to say. Either way, there's a few tickets left.

So if you haven't got yours, QDM and twos in Lloyd Minster at the Gold Horse Casino, that'll be a fun night where we get to sit across from me. That would be awesome if we managed to pull a Justin Trudeau on this show. By that, I mean sellout. I was waiting for the punchline. Thanks, Tews. We'll catch up to you next week.
