You better be like over the moon right now. Oh, I am. You notice folks, he doesn't say a fucking word when we do the clip. But if I put on the full thing, he's got to sit there and jibber-jabber the entire freaking song. What a guy. What a guy. Welcome to Mashup. Tuesday Mashup number 30, where Toos is silent at the start.

Unreal. That's because it gets going right away. It hits you hard and then it's gone. I don't even have time to jump in and say anything. Not until we get going, which is kind of the whole. whole point. Hey, I tell you what, I'm feeling just tickety boo tonight. I'm going to start out with a listener who had the JT equals rooster slurper out in Ottawa. We first thought it was Manitoba. We found out later. It was actually close to Ottawa. Anyways, she said this week,

deer hunting started in eastern Ontario, whilst. Well, and actually says while. Anyways, taking a break yesterday, I was talking to the others and my gang about the Tuesday mashups and introduced the term rooster slurper with respect to JT. They all thought it was hysterically funny. We got a dough, and after we finished cleaning it, I've got an idea for some more JT artwork, so here you go. It says JT equals. What did equal their twos?

Well, it equaled that fancy little butt plug. You stick into their rectum, and then used to pull all the guts out through the tiny little hole. Wrecked them. Damn near killed them. Anyways, yeah, that was rather creative. was already dead at that point, but yes. Tuesday mashup number 30 is also brought to you by Rohan Rig Services. In the show notes, it's all got all the contact detail,

and I like to give a shout out. You pointed out to me last week, and then I had a guy text me from Saskatchewan, which I thought was super cool. Either way, that you were right, and that you don't have to be from Ontario to maybe want to move to Alberta, fine work, that type of thing. So Rohan Rig Services is the sponsor of,

the Tuesday mashup number 30, where you don't need to live in Lloydminster to go to work for the company. You can live anywhere in Alberta and make some good coin. Anyways, so Rohan Rig services, anything, everything sitting in the show notes if you want to get in contact with them

and find out a little more information. With that being said, I have the timer for, I don't know why, 30. You know, I can hear the dairy cartel in my ear. You guys should have done this for number 22. What do fuck are you guys thinking? Anyways, number 30, I thought I'd have some fun. We got 10 topics tonight.

I'm going to see if we can do it in 22 minutes and 22 seconds, just for a little fun on a random Tuesday mashup number 30. You think we could pull that off? I think that's good. We got to start thinking about, are we just going to keep naming them all the way up to like 1,000? Do you have a better solution? I don't know. I don't have any solution.

I was just curious, you know, at what point do we just say it's the mashup instead of naming off which week it is. Oh. Although maybe it is kind of fun to keep track. I'm not sure. I don't know what the right answer is. Okay. Well, here.

Here. Okay. I tell you, I tell you, what, listeners, you're sitting here. It's number 30. Do you give a shit?

Or do you just go, just make it the Tuesday mashup and let's move on with life? I tell you what. We'll give them the power to us. Let's see what comes in. How's that? Yeah.

Absolutely. Because, I mean, on the one hand, it's, you know, 30, you're kind of like, eh, but eventually we're going to, get over that hump where it's going to be like, you know, episode 1,67 and we think like,

wow, this has been cool. You know how many years it would take us to get to 1,067? Can you compute that real fast? About 21 and change. 1067 minus we're at 30, 2nd of my 52. That is 19 years, almost 20 years. Let me tell you, if this sucker's still going, I might be saying, This is Tuesday mashup number 1067.

I might be having some fun with it. I'm just saying. Anyways. It's something to look forward to you anyway. Here, let's start here. Time is officially started. Here we go. Cambodian genocide on our tax dollars.

You sent a ton of links on this sucker. So Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled a slew of funding announcements in Cambodia on Saturday aimed at deepening economic. and academic ties with Southeast Asia after decades of sporadic engagement with the region. $333 million in new funding. The largest chunk 133 million will involve feminist-focused development aid. There you go. I mean, what do you even say to this?

Really, I was thinking about it beforehand. I was just thinking, what can you possibly say other than this is absolutely assinine? Whenever you hear about the interest rates in Canada going up again and again and again, it's because the government is spending too much money. And they don't ever seem to learn their lesson. This is the thing that Trudeau skipped out on Remembrance Day in Canada to go do. He wasn't wearing a poppy when he got there. And I feel like at least a decent part of it is that they gave out fancy gift watches.

They gave out luxury watches to the important people who showed up to this event. And, I mean, if he was a classy dude, you know, even if there was no way he could get out of the Remembrance Day thing, maybe he'd just do some kind of a random draw where he said somebody pick just like out of a hat, out of every armed forces person that we have or have had. And we're going to pick one person at random and give them that watch that I got on Remembrance Day while I was at this thing rather than paying my respect. Do you think it was planned that they weren't around for Remembrance Day? Like, do you think he was like, yeah, we don't need to be here? Well, I feel like for the amount of days that he was going on with these endless, you know, events and things like that, he could have just been like, hey, we're going to be 12 hours late. It shouldn't have been that hard for the guy who's in charge to say, yeah, you know what? I appreciate the fact that you guys invited me.

I'm still going to come, but I'm going to be fashionably late. Extra fashionably, because I hope I still get that watch. The world plays hardball while Canadian media plays slow pitch. I tell you what, that was a fantastic headline to us one. I won't say that to everyone, but that one's perfect. I watched this video and I had to tweet it. I was just like, this is our leader. Anyways, okay, this is what the reporter asked him, okay?

The Canadian Parliament has already called China's treatment of the Uyghurs a genocide. So why haven't you? And Trudeau mumbles for like, a good 90 seconds. Man, it was painful. And then basically says that, you know, that an agency hasn't called it a genocide yet. That's basically what he says as he mumbles for what is just like painfully uncomfortable. And this is what I liked about the tweet. The guy wrote, and I should have wrote his name down, but this is what he said.

What it looks like when you have an international media, or when an international media, or when international media isn't on the Canadian government payroll, and when you're armed with drama instead of intelligence. And that's exactly it. That's a perfect sum of it and everything that he did and absolutely did not say. It's kind of the same thing. I don't know if you remember a few years back when David Suzuki did a trip around the world talking about climate change, you know, failing to see the irony.

And when he stopped in Australia, the Australian media, asked him some, you know, very honest, salient questions. And he just fumbled the ball because it's not him just, it's not him just hitting it off a tea with a friendly media in Canada. It's, you know, actual people who want actual answers as to what the fuck he's thinking. And, yeah, Trudeau, Trudeau, after seven years of never being asked tough questions. Like, remember in 2015 when they asked him which Avenger he would be?

during a press conference. Like this is the kind of stuff that he's been dealing with constantly and it's made him soft and weak more so than he was to begin with. And then, you know, he shows up on the international stage and just gets trouts.

He made his bed and then he shat in it. China continues to... While he was face down. China continues to fuck around, never finding out. A total of 11 candidates received money as much as $250,000 was dispersed along with staff support by a covert operation runs for the Chinese consulate in Toronto to influence Canada's elections. Trudeau has been asked about this report multiple times and has denied its accuracy and won't commit to raising this with China's leader.

The CESA's report that has been sitting on since January says that the 250,000 was funneled to candidates using intermediates. It states that candidates were chosen from the liberals and conservatives, so both sides can be mad about this, based on an affinity for China or China's positions on key issues. Yeah, he doesn't want anybody looking into this too deeply, and none of the names have been named. I would say that probably there's probably one conservative candidate that was them kind of trying to hedge their bets a little bit,

A little bit of risk management saying, okay, well, you know what, on the off chance that they get in, maybe we can find somebody who's a little bit friendly. But what do you want to bet that it's 10 people in Trudeau? I mean, he's been the most China-friendly member of parliament we have in this country. Man, I don't know. You read it. CISIS is clearly pointing to election fraud in 2019 and 21. Yeah.

Up. 21. And nobody wants to take a look into it. And you're like, that sounds kind of scary. And with the long line of things that this government has done long. But it's totally on brand for them. Absolutely. I mean, look at how long the Michaels were in jail in China. Look at all of the concessions that we've made to them.

Look at how we never have an honest conversation about how we are carbon tax. taxing the hell out of ourselves while they're building a bazillion new coal plants every day, you know, rounded somewhere, right? It's racist. It's racist. It's always racist. And at what point do we say, okay, well, you know what? Maybe they're just kind of assholes, the government specifically.

Bilingualism is a pain and there is no relief. This is, we're talking, man, this was a whole bunch of articles. but the main idea here is the pain relief for children, Advil, Tylen, all that type of thing. There's a huge shortage in Canada. Anyways, while parents resort to cross the border in the U.S. to find fever and pain medicines for their babies and toddlers, a new antibiotic shortage looms.

Little is being done to fix Canada's pharmaceutical supply mess, says those who have been tracking drug shortages for more than a decade. And then, you know, the next article is, We've arrived in Indonesia for G20 summit, and I started off by announcing new support for Ukraine. We're providing them with 500 million. You know, this is coming off of, he was just on this tour of just throwing money out.

Anyways, a new, with 500 million in military assistance to make sure they have equipment, fuel, and medical supplies that they need. Medical supplies. At what point do we feel like, maybe his interests could be better aligned with the people that he's paid to represent. Like, we're sending two and a half billion and counting to the Ukraine now for medical supplies and our stupid bilingual language requirements for everything. Why do you think we know what rival flavin is in French?

It's because we see it on cereal boxes. We looked at it. We were kids growing up all the time. and it's a stupid bunch of rules. I mean, there's more people that speak Ukrainian in Manitoba than speak French, but you don't see that interesting lettered language all over Lucky Charms, do you? No, no. Instead, we set these stupid rules in place, and so, you know, companies are like,

okay, well, you know what, we'll just sell it over here, and we'll just sell it at another place. And, yeah, they're going to send a little bit. bit here and there to Canada, but it's not profitable, except now it actually is becoming quite profitable. Warren Concella put on Twitter that you could buy children's Tylenol for like $94 on Amazon, and he thought it was bullshit that the government is allowing it to happen when, in fact, it's the government that created this very problem. Federal liberals mystified as to why Smith seems combative.

Now, this is a series of different articles, one starting with Freeland and Daniel Smith talking. Another one, I kind of enjoyed this, but another one on Scott Moe, where he bluntly announced that the prime minister can, extreme environmental policies can go to hell and that his province will assert full autonomy over its natural resources. And he did that in question period, by the way. Yes, he did. And so like, you're seeing a trend from the Western provinces as everybody started to see that Daniel Smith's popularity was growing. You're starting to see a little bit of pushback and we talked about this whether it was the last mashup but certainly in the last couple we've talked about this growing trend of the west starting to say not really interested well

how many times are you going to let someone push you before you decide to push back or at least say you know what i'm going to stand my ground i think it's damn time it's it's far past time that the provinces put the feds on notice that hey you know what you can't just go around fucking everything up in our own little part of the world and a little bit of respect would be nice. Yeah, and Mo, he's the first, you know, I'm sure Daniel Smith has talked about it too,

but they were talking about climate goals, you know, being off natural gas by 2035, if memory serves me correct, on the article, and basically Mo pointing towards this place called Europe that's in real tough situation, oh, currently, anyways. Let's make everything out of woodstock begins. What? What am I reading here, too?

I can't even read it. Let's make everything out of woodstock begins in Egypt. Let's make everything out of woodstock begins in Egypt. I don't know. Thank you. It's kind of like a play on how they're hippies and they want to make everything out of wood. And then also woodstock because it's not a serious conference. This is COP 27.

So the last one was in Scotland. And now this one's in Egypt. And it's interesting that they never pick any sort of. central places like, I don't know, Wichita, Kansas or anything like that, it's always got to be some sexy exotic location. How many, you know, apologies to anybody in Wichita, Kansas. I want to give, I want to give the listener just a quick two seconds, three seconds. How many people do you think while you're driving while you're, you know, milking the cows to the

dairy mafia up a crack of dawn to all you, how many people do you think Canada sent to COP 27. 335 people went to Egypt. 335 from Canada, just from Canada. See, here's the thing is I feel like

at some point they realized oh you know what everything that they've been criticizing about us is fairly valid. Yeah, we should probably have this whole damn thing over on Zoom. Maybe we shouldn't all show up in private jets. Maybe we should pick sensible locations that have modest hotels instead of trying to have it

at the fucking pyramids. Because Stonehenge was booked that day. Come on. Seriously. And so they're just like, well, you know what? We can't back down now. We can't blink. We can't admit that we're all a bunch of fucking hypocrites.

So we just need to double and triple and quadruple down. And so I don't know what's next. Maybe they're going to rebuild. the hanging gardens of Babylon and have it there and talk about, oh, we're sequestering carbon. You watch them rebuild the tower, you know, the hanging gardens. Oh, fucking anyways. MPs building tunnels between parliament buildings because of the pleb.

You know, yeah, anyways, you just, the amount of money our government is spending right now, too, is just maybe, you know, it's just hurt my brain. Anyways, MPs have endorsed a plan to spend more than $250 million on a new, on new tunnels linking parliamentary buildings, citing security concerns and logistics, and Ottawa's cold winters. The tunnels will be the late addition to the huge restoration project to the center block, Parliament's main building, or sorry, including a $5 billion refurbishment of the central. block Parliament's main building. So just keep tacking it on there. We'll just keep tacking it on how much money we're going to throw at this sucker.

And the best, best paragraph of the entire fucking article was at a meeting in June, the Board of Internal Economy, Mr. Julian said the tunnels would meet MPs would no longer have to go through security multiple times. That must be hard to travel between buildings or to bundle up in warm coats and hats. several times a day during the harsh Ottawa winners. Man, life is tough. Let's spend 250 fucking million.

These poor bastards. And that's on the low side. Technically, they said that they were expecting $180 some million to be 40% of the cost. So 2.5, $360,000. Yeah, it's pretty close to half a billion, technically, if that thing in the article is correct. But I feel like the only reason why this is happening is because you've got people like the rebel and the Pleb who's actually accredited media guy now, which is hilarious, just some random guy on the internet that just decided that he was going to start having fun with this stuff.

And he's trying to flag down members of parliament as they walk in between buildings and ask them questions. And this is it. This is them isolating themselves from accountability and from public scrutiny in. in a physical way. And I mean, if you think about it, it is kind of on brand for them because we're better or who better to hang out in a bunch of tuddles

than a bunch of fucking rats and snakes. Calgarians mad at being hoodwinked. It's talking about Mayor Jody Gondack is now sitting at 35% approval rating down from 38% the spring, while 55% of those who polled disapproved of her performance in her first year. One of the paragraphs that I didn't realize this, and maybe you know more of the story twos, or maybe you have different thoughts, but one of the paragraphs that caught me

off guard was Calgarians are frustrated with our incredibly limited ability to deal with a member of counsel who has owned up to having sex, sexual relations with a child. At best, she said it was a 16-year-old. They're frustrated that they haven't done anything yet, and frankly, they, that we've tried to enact have not resulted in the type of action that will be meaningful. Now, I want to clarify this wasn't like a week ago this happened. I believe the article stated it was in the 90s. I don't know how I didn't.

Anyways, I didn't know any of this. So, yeah, it was Sean Chu, if I recall correctly. And he kind of basically said, well, I won the election. So I have the job for the next four years. and everybody can just get fucked like the 16 year old. And do you need a second? Oh, that is a terrible joke, but carry on. Well, but that's basically what he said was he was just like,

I'm in, I got the job. What are you going to do about it? And maybe there's a case to be made for recall legislation, you know, the kind of thing that I talk about every once in a while when politicians are complete fuck faces. And yeah, so I mean, for her to try and shrug this whole thing off as being like, oh, yeah, it's just because of this Sean Chu guy. No, no, no, no, no.

People hate you because you have been fucking everything up. Because you failed on the stadium deal because you were just deciding to be an obstinate asshole. at the finish line and it costs the city millions of dollars because of what you've been doing with bike lanes because you don't actually care about doing a good job you just care about looking like you're being a caring person while not actually helping anything at all and also probably the hundred thousand dollars worth of home security per counselor that you approved is you know shit like that well i i also wanted to say they did have a really accurate uh line in this thing I thought this was great.

They said they're not, they're not, they don't read too much in the, uh, mark disproval of the mayor from the older men. Older men tend to be more negative government overall. It says less so. Yes.

I thought that was kind of funny. Well, I mean, I'm like, yeah, because they start paying attention and realize you guys are fucking everything up. I mean,

like, holy crap, but that line is true. That line is very true. Yeah. Isn't it? interesting that as you get older and start paying attention to things more, you get more frustrated with government. I wouldn't really say it tracks, but it's correlation without causation. I'd say it's far more likely that as people start to pay more attention to politics, they get more

frustrated with people like her. Saskatchewan Health Authority employee fired even though he only stole 170 grand. The Saskatchewan Health Authority filed an insurance claim for 160, $9,968 after realizing a former employee had been altering time cards for almost five years. When asked if the employee was going to be held responsible for paying the money back, the SHA responded. The SHA was able to submit an insurance claim resulting in the recovery for most of what it lost. They say the employee was fired and no criminal charges were being pressed. Yeah, so got off Scott Mo Free.

I don't know. It's just baffling. Like, think about it. Like over five years, that's almost 35 grand a year. Like, do you think that anybody should have noticed that? Like, that's a pretty suspiciously high amount for an hourly employee. Like if Dina Hinshaw, who lost her job today, by the way, got an extra $34,000 a year, well, I mean, she makes $600 and some thousand dollars a year up until today.

So maybe that would get a, you know, that, That might, you know, pass scrutiny, you know, without anybody catching on. You know, where you can make that similar type of money is this place called Rohan Riggs. I don't know what they'd do with you, but you could try. She could try. Just say it. Yes. Well, maybe not quite 600 grand a year, but you can definitely make a pretty decent way.

If you're fucking with the time cards, maybe. Yeah, yeah. But, I mean, like 35 grand a year on and out. That is just so far and above what should be normal and expected. Like, you'd think about it like you'd have everybody's wage on a graph and then there'd be one that was probably probably something like 20 or 30 percent higher than everybody else's. And you'd say, well, that seems suspicious. And then you'd look into a little bit further.

You wouldn't give it half a decade and be like, oh, I'm sure it'll straighten itself out. And then, you know, to not even press charges over something like that, to just be like, okay, well, we're just, we're going to call it a learning lesson for everybody. That's right. Learning lesson. There is a bear, here's your happy news. There is a bear in the Rockies that is a straight up tank. Okay, this, I'm going to be honest. The story is, you know, is, you know, a photographer runs into a big grizzly bear and you takes pictures and it's lovely. Here's what's the greatest part about this story. Okay, I'm going to read it off here. Yes. Okay, we got the same, we've got the exact same take on this.

Officially known as bear number 122, the boss, is considered to be the toughest and most dominant grizzly bear in the Bow Valley region. The estimated 300 kilogram grizzly is believed to be more than 20 years old. Okay, that's the first part. Here's the best. The boss is best known for a number of headline-making incidents, including eating black bears, surviving being hit by a train, and the bears likely have been fathered 70% of the Cubs in the region. He is truly the boss. Oh, absolutely.

You know, you think about, like, how human chicks dig scars. Like, just imagine what a grizzly bear could do. You know, he just comes up to some sow, and he's like, hey, you want to see something cool? This is where I got hit by a train. And then she'd be like, oh, my God, that's so hot. Do you want to get bear naked? Oh, two's mashup 30. in the books, big fella, and finished with the boss.

Man, I want to meet this bear. Like, he sounds like an absolute legend. The video of him is... It sounds very... Yeah, I feel like the train probably had to go in for repairs after this. Oh, man. Well, I tell you what. Mashup 3-0.

I guess listeners, let us know. Text us in. Do you want the numbers? Do you care? Do you just want Tuesday MASH? up. Are you just worried about rooster slurper t-shirts and why the heck twos and Sean seemed to be just dragging their feet incredibly slow on this? I don't know. I feel like there's a few things that are irkingya fire away. And if you're from Quebec or the

Northwest Northwest territories or none of it, hit us up because I'd love to hear that we got listeners there. Yeah. Boole. Boole if you're listening, which I don't know, apparently you're not. what the hell dude there you go anyways twos we'll catch you next week we'll see you then
