All right, well, I heard that I need something new to complain about during this. So how about people who have book clubs that read 50-hour audiobooks and expect you to have them done in one month so that you can all sit down together and discuss it? How about that? Is that something great to complain about the start of the show? You sometimes just got to mute them, folks. Okay, I can't unmute myself on this one. This is bullshit.

We've got to go back to Riverside. I have all the power. Oh. Mashup 33. What do you figure? Two's. Well, that depends on what I need to figure about.

I tell you, I'm excited to be back for 33. You know, all I see when I put it up in the top there was, I'm like, oh, we're on the old Patty Waugh episode, you know? I wonder who's going to have the flashy glove this week. Maybe Kerry Price. Yeah, isn't that truth? Him coming out talking about guns, I was like,

Holy shit. Are some athletes actually going to talk about some things in our country? That'd be a new one. Well, I mean, aside from Theo and Jamie Saleh, but yeah, yeah, this is, you know, it's just funny how some common sense discussions can just totally throw everybody on the left right overboard. 100%. 100%. Now, you may be wondering what the hell Tews was talking about in the intro. Here's the text. Keep the music and tell Tuse he's going to need to come up with some new complaints. That's the only way to keep as part of the song, interesting. That's from Vance Crow. So shout out to Vance Crow, tuning in from St. Louis, Missouri. And obviously, you're torn some takes at them. Yeah.

Yeah, so be sure and check out his book club if you have lots of time on your hands and want to discuss some good novels. Now, obviously, in the bottom ticker here today, we got Rohan Rigged Services. They are the major sponsor of the show, Mashup 33, and they are hiring for all positions. That is in the show notes as well, so we're going to take it off.

We'll have a ticker. You know, I'm messing around with things this week. Tews, you know me. I don't like to sit idle. So I thought I'd throw it in the ticker that way. If people are a little more visual, hey, it's sitting right there. You can see it too.

You know, we had this little show in Lloyd, and Tews was supposed to be there, but he got stuck working. What was up on the rigs this week, there, Tews? Well, so Myrie's kind of a different design and lots of the stuff on it is run electrically. And during the process of doing some troubleshooting for a few cellinoids, a bunch of stuff got fried. And so instead of being off to the races and working, we were just banging our heads against the walls in the shop, trying to figure out where it all went wrong. and that was definitely frustrating.

But Rohan doesn't have those issues. You should go work for them. Well, I think of one of the cool things, I don't know, I've never been great at this. This is probably why I'm not on the rigs twos. But, you know, you got a group of men and the odd woman actually out there who the problem solved, right? That's part of what you guys do.

You get to problem solve. And, you know, I sit and talk to enough. figure out solutions for downhole problems. Like your problem solving while you're trying to, you can't see the problem half the time. You know, when it's on your own equipment, one thing.

But it's another thing when it's downhole, hundreds upon hundreds of feet. You know, you're just, you know, fishing in the dark, so to speak. But either way.

Yeah, yeah, you just, yep, Rohan. We can kidding. You got to, you got to get better at stopping me

before I go off the deep end. It's just like, oh, you want to talk about this. Let's talk about this. Let's talk about. And that's one thing, that's one thing about the rigs.

I will say, is that once you get into it and you find your groove in there, you tend to be really passionate about it and have a lot of fun doing it. And every conversation finds its way back to it. Well, there you go. Rohan Rig Services in the show notes, if you're looking for more details, you can hit them up that way. Let's get on to the show to's, okay? We got a full stock of inventory this week, if you would. Oh, and we trimmed.

I'm setting it for 2222. I don't know if that's possible with the amount we have here today, but that's what I've been shooting for on all of them. We're going to start with a lovely two's headline. Here we go. Trudeau farts Germany gets gas. And what we're talking about here is multiple, multiple things. We're going back a little bit to Trudeau basically telling Germany's chancellor to pound sand.

You know, like we, you know, there's no future. There's no business case for liquid natural gas. That's right. And you're coming to the wrong place. But it's not up to the prime minister to decide whether or not there is. It's up to the business people and the entrepreneurs and the folks who are actually doing it to decide whether or not they can try and make a go of it. Yeah, well, and the thing is, is you sent me like 18 articles on this thing. So I'm like scrolling through all the notes I made.

I'm like, where do I even begin? How will we start here? This week, Germany firms announced a 15-year contract by roughly 2 million tons of LNG per year of Qatari natural gas. It's a multi-billion dollar deal. It comes just three months after a German chancellor made an official visit to Canada with the explicit goal of securing Canadian sources of liquid natural gas. You get the point. And then, you know, another part of the article, one of the other articles was, Fraser Institute survey of petroleum sector executives, Wyoming, and Texas are considered

far more attractive for investment than any Canadian province, including Alberta and British Columbia. And Canada's highest ranked province was sixth, Alberta ranked 12th, and British Columbia ranked 14th. So that's, yeah, not doing great here on the old Canadian side. No, and I get the fact that there's a few more limitations in terms of just the remote nature of a lot of it and the harsher weather conditions, but so much of this comes down to hostile governments who aren't interested in,

not even facilitating, but just get the hell out of the way. We can do this safely. We can do this well. And you know what? There's other ways to do it that aren't as good. And we're going to get to those in a little bit too. But the thing about it is,

is all anybody in Alberta has ever wanted is just for people in the other parts of Canada to just, Leave us B. Yeah. And that's it? Well, and one further little point on what Germany has done with Qatar. You know, it said the Qatari deal comes with a fair amount of political awkwardness for Germany,

given that Berlin has particularly been critical of the Gulf State's poor record on human rights. Just this week, senior Qatarie official admitted that they had as many as 500 migrant workers die over the last 12 years in construction projects connected to the World Cup. And a recent poll found that 65% of Germans believe that Qatar should never have been granted the World Cup. And some German bars are refusing to show the World Cup games due to Gulf States human rights records. So you can imagine, you know, like it's just when you come back to. That's a big deal in Germany. I know.

That's like they're two big things is beer and soccer. Like when you come back to the visit of Germany coming over here trying to be like, hey, we could really use some help. Hey, and we're your first choice, or you're our first choice, rather. We want to work with you. And Trudeau, no, not interested. Not interested, right? Think about a 15-year contract. That's half a career.

Like, if you got that job right out of school, you would literally spend half your career facilitating that transportation of LNG. That's how long this is. And that's not to say it's not even going to extend after that, right? Like, this is just, it's insane that we just left that money on the table and then Not only that, but we just passed it over to some third world country that, I mean, hey, you know what? We don't kill gays in Canada anymore, so we got to support the people who do. Is that really what we're doing?

I guess it is. I was going to say Trudeau gave him the quick buzzer. But anyways, I digress. Blacklocks gets black balled. This one's pretty, you know, I literally just had Tom Korski on like a week and a half ago talking basically about this exact story. So parliamentary Parliamentary Press Gallery Executive accompanied by armed police on Friday

evicted Blacklocks All questions were referred to a host of Commons employer Blackthalk said the eviction first of its kind In the history of the National Press Building was clear reprisal over its continued protests against media subsidies. Evictions fall gallery president And I'm going to torture a name.

Goulemann St. Pierre's threat to terminate Black Block's membership. the eviction letter stated Blacklocks managing editor, Tom Korski was impolite, disturbs the journalists around him, and streams parliamentary committee hearings on his computer. That's why they're getting... Isn't that like his job? Right? Like this is...

This is insane because if you follow anything in our country, Blacklocks, when it comes to Ottawa, is the best. They're the people who break all the access to information stuff. and they don't do op-eds, they don't do editorials. It's literally just cut and dry it. It's just this is what we requested. Here's what wasn't blacked out. Here's what was.

And some cases, that's Trudeau's face and away they go, right? And that's it. And so like they're fairly equally like when the conservatives are in power and they're not doing a good job, they hold them to task. And when the liberals are in power and they're not doing a good job, it's probably a bit easier of a job, but they're still doing it. And yeah, like just this is all just because they're the only people in that circle pushing back on public disclosure of government subsidies for media. And look, if you're getting paid to do something, even if you've got the best of intentions when you start out, it just muddies the water.

And look how it's gone over the past few years where you've got so many companies that have just become paid propagandists for the government. And they don't want to be that and they don't think it's right and they don't think other people should do it. And they just want to throw daylight on it. And for that, they're being kicked out not by a totalitarian government, but by the insiders who don't want to upend the apple cart. That's where this has gotten. This has gotten so bad that now the government doesn't even have to do the work. There's so much incentive for it to happen that the media is playing hard. with their own near-do-wells just to keep their own gravy train running and people wonder why this country is so fucked up Sean can add to that anymore the sovereignty bill pisses off all the right people I don't even know where you want to start with it just seems like everybody's losing their mind about this you know what you sent me a video um with the CBC having a roundtable on this they didn't even have somebody argue why this isn't such a bad thing I don't know about you I read

the bill it's like 11 pages of honestly um not a whole lot like there's not a whole lot in there it's basically stating it's not no override the constitution but if anything tries to override the constitution they're going to have a vote on it is basically what i took from it yeah well i mean maybe i'm missing something i'm not a lawyer and i'm not a politician but as far as i understand it just clearly defines which lanes the various levels of government are supposed to be in and it says that if any of them try to overstep it, they're going to step in and rate the ship. But also it says, you know, that if the federal government tries to pass any legislation that could harm Albertans, that they're going to review it. And I could see where maybe if you wanted

to get a little bit hyperbolic, which the NDP aren't even smart enough to do, you can say, well, technically making them pay taxes is going to do that. So, I mean, there really isn't a damn thing out there that the federal government does that couldn't apply to this. But that in itself should be an indication of where we're at with the federal government. And, you know, I like, you sent once again, Tews was on the ball this week, folks. He sent like five links for every article. The last one was saying why, and it was in the Toronto Star, I believe, if memory serves me, correct, which I'm like, what is going on with this?

But it said the federal government has cut the prime minister's home province's special deal. Let's talk about the carbon tax. In Quebec, the carbon tax only has to be nine cents a liter in 2020 and just 23 cents in 2030. Nova Scotia to raise its tax the equivalent of 30 cents a liter by 2030, just like the rest of the country. So if you're paying attention, that's 14 cents more than Quebec. Everybody's going to pay 14 cents more than Quebec, okay? Everybody pays more than fucking Quebec when it comes to every last fucking thing. And so the article was saying this might be why Alberta needs the sovereignty act.

I was like, wow. Like, yeah. I mean, that was the sun. It was, I think that was Lori Goldstein's article. Yeah. It was a great little article. Yeah, well, Lori Goldstein's a beauty. Right.

But the thing about it is, is that there's always this. Okay, when I grew up, I wasn't the favorite kid. Surprise, surprise. And it irritated the hell out of me when I saw the preferential treatment going in other directions. And then now, now that I've moved to Alberta, I'm like, this is the same thing. all over again. This is exactly it, and it just irritates the hell out of me.

And at some point, you got to move out and make your own way in the world. Maybe as a separate country, I'm just throwing it out there. Anti-piplying governments, a burning success. Thursday night of freight train derailed near McCown just before 10 a.m. Thursday, and they anticipated that Highway 39 would be closed for 20, four to 36 hours because it was hazardous materials, you know, and so they were just letting the train burn, man, let it burn. Yeah.

Yeah. So if you go look up this article, it's just this big black burning pile of debris from a train derailment. And this is what the liberals and the Green Party and the federal and provincial NDPs have been fighting for for years. Honestly, this is, this is exactly. it. They should be taking a victory lap right now. They should do a press conference in southern Saskatchewan right in front of that burning wreckage and say, look, we fought for this

for a long time. We've finally accomplished our goals and we are here to fucking gloat over what we have done and how we've made this possible. Here's a, here's a, here's a strange one. You've reached the veteran affairs hotline. Why don't you go kill yourself? And, you know, I know that's a solid two's headline, but it's not far off of like what's going on. I feel like that's probably option four when you call them. And then maybe if you want to get vaccinated, that's also option for. That's probably option.

That's probably option two, maybe one. No, no, no. It takes you to the same place. It just changes the time frame a little bit, maybe. Fair, fair. So retired corporal Christine Gauthier, who is a paraplegic, told the house of Commons Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs that the topic of assistant in dying was raised

during a years-long fight for a home wheelchair lift. So this is how she described The Comforts. She's how she describes the comments. She spoke, the lady she spoke with, or the agent she spoke with, as saying, Madame, if you're really so desperate,

we can give you a medical assistance in dying now. Yeah. So probably what happened was she said, do you guys really expect me to live like this year after year. And the lady said, no, that's completely unacceptable. You should fucking die. Like, this is, this is dark as hell.

Like, seriously, all she wanted was a wheelchair lift. Like, just imagine whoever the hell this is. They go home to their family. They're having dinner after work. Oh, how is your day at work, honey? Oh, it's great. I tried convincing the people who fought for us and didn't die that they should just step things up.

because God missed them the first time. And then, and then dude's like, oh yeah, that's nice. Can you pass the assault? No, why don't you go kill yourself?

Like, this is just like, how trivial do things have to be? We're just the answer is everything. Like, go kill yourself. Like honestly, I can't believe

that we would have people like this in the suburbs of Toronto working at these government agencies whose their job is to just be so fucking heartless. And yeah, I get the fact that nobody in Ottawa knows a damn thing about real life or anything like that. But I mean, come on like this is just, this is not an isolated incident. It keeps fucking happening.

And the solution to everything seems to be to go kill yourself. Like, why don't we open up a like, why don't we do that for the honking? When people have PTSD from the phantom honking, let's give them a hotline they can call. And they can get an injection or they can go sit in that fucking bubble and pump cyanide gas into or whatever it is. Oh, oh, you experienced hearing loss from the honking that went on in Ottawa? Well, just like the guy that they convinced to kill himself because he went in for hearing loss a couple months ago, maybe we just offer you a fucking lethal injection.

And it solves everybody's problems. Here's the good news, at least from reading all the articles and videos and everything else that you'd sent, is it's gaining attention like everywhere, right? Like one of them, yeah, gun read on, on. on Fox News. Oh, yeah, yeah. And, like, I literally just interviewed Rupa Subramanja on this, and we talked to depth about it.

And she said, you know, I said something like, why is nobody talking about this? She's like, actually, everybody's talking about this. So the nice thing about this is, if there is a nice thing, is that it is gained, like, international headlines now about what an F is going on in Canada. And honestly, what is going on in Canada, right?

Like, I mean, it's getting a little bit, even for us a little bit ridiculous. Anti-Semitism continues to run rampant under liberals. And I have a note here. I read this article, and I feel like you know the inside story on this. I couldn't pronounce a freaking name out of it. I'm just like, you know what?

This is a solid two's half-hatter moment because I feel like it ties into like the 18 effing things we've done over the last 33 mashups, 32 mashups about liberals just not like vetting anyone. But at the same time, I'm like, maybe I'm missing something, and I should have read a different article. But for once, I'm like, no, Tews is going to have his hands full on this one. I assume you know the backstory.

Well, yeah. So like 70 years ago, there was a lot of Jewish people. You're such a prey. That's not what I mean. You know, folks, it's times like this. I wish Tews was in the studio. So I could reach across and swat them. You know what I mean?

Oh, my God. Wouldn't that be great if we were just recording one time? And then we just got into a brawl. The camera like tips over on its side. You just see it swinging at each other. And somebody's pulling their shirt over top of somebody else's head. Local podcast or a quits podcasting job to go work for Rohan full time. That's what it would be.

I'm going to take his frustration out on the iron. Fuck. Yeah. Okay. Anyway, what happened was, was there's the Canada-Palestine parliamentary friendship group had this hosting the International Day of Solidarity with Palestinian people who are the people displaced from what is now Israel. And that's a hotbed issue. And honestly, I don't care who the hell you are. There is way more to that story than you ever imagined.

If you want to get into a good deep dive, Martyr Made podcast has like this 15-hour special. on it that just you walk away going like everybody here sucks. So if you're pro-Palestine, you're wrong. And if you're pro-Israel, you're wrong. Everybody involved in that is horrible. Okay. But what happened was that pro-Palestine tends to be anti-Israel or anti-Semitic somewhat sometimes. And so lo and behold, when you have an event like this, you've got this well-known anti-Semites showing up.

And then there was a bunch of pushback for it because, hey, you know what this random guy showed up. They didn't vet him ahead of time. And then he's hanging out and glad-handing with a bunch of politicians from all parties, to be clear. The headline was a little bit unfair that I made, to be clear. And so, anyway, and then they're trying to backtrack afterwards and be like, oh, well, you can't expect us to vet everybody.

Oh, you just, you know, people are going to show up and you can't just go through everybody's personal history and make sure that they're not some kind of an extremist. Does anybody remember Jeremy McKenzie? He just got out, by the way. cool but i mean he showed up at paul yav's event and then it was just running for weeks about how polyev has extremists at his events and then this happens and omar alzbra says oh you know what it's kind of our bad i guess maybe but you can't expect us to vet everybody right and just look if the exact same thing happens to your party three months later at the most you got to cover

it the same. And this is the frustrating thing you see. There's a lot of them. But one of the main ones is that when the liberals do something, it gets treated differently than when the conservatives do literally the exact same thing within one fiscal quarter of each other. You know, both political parties just drive me nuts. It's just...

Yes. Well, the one political party drives me nuts. But yes. Yeah, because, I mean, really, there's not much daylight between any of them. There's not much daylight. Okay. Swiss considers banning the future. Okay, I know we've all been wondering,

you know, Lake, I wonder how the energy is doing over there and everything else. So Switzerland, uh, Switzerland basically has made, uh, um, you know, an extreme case. A bunch of contingency plans.

If it gets bad enough. So it says, uh, crisis measures could see streaming services, game consoles, banned, Christmas lights turned off, all sports stadiums and leisure facilities closed.

Under the most extreme measures, All leisure business would have to close, and all sports matches would be banned along with concerts, theaters, and opera. So you realize, you know, like, as we sit here, and I'm bitching and complaining about what our government's doing and everything else, you could be sitting in Switzerland, the Swiss, and they're talking about, like, pretty much,

if it gets bad enough. Banning electric vehicles, the ones that are going to be made mandatory in a couple years in California. And that's, yeah, that's. Kind of one of the problems with electric vehicles is that you got to be able to charge them fairly regularly. And if all of a sudden it's legal and it's all electric anyway, what's stopping them from just hitting a master kill switch? Right? Yeah, this is, when I read this, too, I was like, you know, I haven't really heard much about what's going on over in Europe.

You know, certainly, you know, like obviously they're in a little bit of a crunch or maybe a giant crunch, whatever you want to put it as. But you haven't heard much of it. This is the first article where I'm looking at it and the last lines is talking about in the most extreme state. So they're talking about, you know, like turning off heat to swim in pools, not letting people use this and that. And you're kind of like, yeah, honestly, I'm not saying that that makes or seems reasonable. Just for where they're at, I'm kind of like, okay, yeah, sure. But under the most extreme measures, all leisure businesses will have to close. All sports matches done.

all concerts done all theater's done all opera's done it's like like have you ever heard an opera singer before they don't need a microphone they'll fill a whole stadium with just their voice so it's not as though it's got to be power assisted they just want to shut everything to hell down because they can't even afford to have people doing the transit in between like this is insane well it's it's it's a different version of it is what it is and i'm just thankful we're sitting here going like what on earth is happening over there. China gave Trudeau a massive election. This is going back to, you know, the interference in our elections. So the CIS document had said something along the lines of, well, not something along, this is quoted, we see activity of foreign

interferences or attempts at foreign interference in terms of trying to influence, but it was not enough to have met the threshold of impacting the overall electoral integrity. And then it was added by Trudeau. Our intelligence and police services take very seriously the importance of fighting against foreign interference, including Chinese interferences, said Trudeau and French. But I can assure you and all Canadians that the 2019-2020 elections were not subject to interferences that changed the results in any significant way. Do we trust a single word that man has to say,

at this point, no, we do not. Nope. No, I guarantee you he's one of the 11, right? Like there's no way he isn't. I mean, he's the face of the liberal party. And like there's there's no backup. Like honestly, if he ever loses, if he falls out of favor far enough that they get Christian Freeland in charge, ugh.

Like that's going to be ugly for the liberals, which would be awesome. But like, he's, He's the only person that they've got to be running this thing up. I mean, you look at how Marco Medichino just fucks everything up whenever he's in front of the camera. Pablo Rodriguez has great hair. He's got the best hair in Parliament. But honestly, he's just, he's trying to pass the internet censorship bill. And Trudeau's the only guy.

It's as baffling as it is. He's the mortar holding the bricks of this shit house together. And so if you're China and you want to. keep this train running, you're going to fuel that engine, right? And so, yeah, he's going to downplay this as much as fucking possible for as long as he can, but you got to look at the finer points of what they're saying that it didn't affect the outcome in any meaningful way. Okay, so you know what?

It still could have fucking flipped 10 electoral districts, and that still would have, you know, like this, it still would have been the same minority government in terms of composition more or less, right? Like it had to go a long way. Like it would have had to be like 50 seats before it would have met that vague definition that he used in that press conference. And so you got to look at the finer points of what he's saying. This is he just constantly every single day is another version of I did not have sexual

relations with that woman. These allegations are false. It just, it's the same thing. we saw 30 years ago with Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. Except instead of trying to fuck an intern, he's trying to fuck Western Canada. Indigenous criminals are settlers for lower sentences. This is directly related to the stabbing on the sea train. Is a stabbing?

I don't even know. It's pretty gruesome here. And his ruling on the case... Broat slitting. Yeah. In the case, ruling on the case of the 25-year-old Bobby Crane. Judge Harry Van Harton cited the history of colonialism as contributing to his attack on the white 65-year-old stranger Leonard Smith. The history of colonialism has to be taken into account, he said. This is the judge.

Instead of serving his sentence in a federal prison, Crane will serve two years in a provincial jail and an additional three years of probation. The brutal incident occurred on May 18th on a sea train at around 6.20 a.m. Smith is visually impaired and relies on public transit and was attacked by crane from behind. Crane slash Smith's net throat with a utility knife from one side to the next, leaving him with a 23 centimeter gash on his neck. He was, I would think we could all agree, very, very lucky to survive. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, that's not, that doesn't buff out easy.

And like this, I mean, it calls back to this whole James Creek. the the stabbing spree that just happened a few weeks ago where we just decide that basically based on somebody's pigmentation and what what their ancestors went through that they're somehow entitled to lighter prison sentences and you know it's are you trying to punish the person are you trying to make an example of them are you trying to protect the public or you try and rehabilitate them or do you have some other goal of prison and the thing about it is is that in our system, it doesn't seem to be any of those. It's just kind of like a vacation light that people just kind of hold up in for a little bit before they go back to whatever fucking bullshit got them behind bars in the first place. Like, you know what? I'll say this. I'll say this. We probably don't have a whole lot of prison breaks in Canada nowadays. There probably

aren't a whole lot of people scaling the fences with bed sheets and getting chased after by bloodhounds through the fucking muskeg. Right? Because why the hell would you ever leave? Like they're just You know, everything's taken care of. And when you get out, you can just fuck things up and go right back in again for another light sentence. And deciding that what race you are is more important than what you fucking did. Like, this is, I don't know, like this is vaguely an act of terrorism. Like you just went up and, well, probably a hate crime by my modern left standards.

You try and kill the blind guy? That's a hate crime. Like, what do you have against referees? Can we have a little laugh? You know, unbreakable toilet craps out. A highly hyped new San Francisco bathroom held as the future of public toilets lasted only three days into said future as the high-tech bathroom kiosk quickly had been relieved of its duty and found itself closed for repairs.

And then the second article in this is killer robots in San Francisco as well. But no worries they aren't going to shoot people with robots. They're just going to use the robots as suicide bombers to take out the bad guys. if it gets to that point. I can't see how any of this could ever go wrong. I mean, like, if the cops were after you, you think you're okay, you're going to hide in the unbreakable shitter. And then, and then nope, nope, they can get in and stop you anyway.

And seriously, like, honestly, I don't know why you would think that you could possibly build an unbreakable shitter that close to Mexico. I was thinking, I don't think you building an unbreakable shitter, we should be, you want an unbreakable shitter, cut a hole in the floor and call it a day. That's an unbreakable shitter. Yep. And honestly, it probably smells better than San Francisco does nowadays. Probably actually pretty much exactly the same, probably. How about a robot carrying dynamite, well, not dynamite, whatever explosive material they're giving it.

Isn't that insane? Like, I mean, you might just create Robocop and be done with it. Yeah, okay. So, I mean, here's the thing. Well, that's exactly what it is. And here's a quote, while an explosive charge may be considered an intermediate force option, it could potentially cause injury or be lethal.

Oh, no, wait. I'm still talking about the toilet. Sorry. Being stupid is a jailable offense in England. Just months. Just stop oil supporter. sentenced to six months in prison. That's Jan Goody, a 57-year-old,

just-old, just-stop oil supporter from Brighton, was today's sentenced to six months in prison for taking part in an action on the M-25, hashtag M-25 in November to demand an end to new oil and gas in the UK. Sending them to jail, twos. It's about goddamn time. And, like, I sent you the link from Just Stop Oil, who's trying to treat this like they're being martyrs. I mean, you've got this woman in a raincoat with some kind of a helmet on.

She's got more plastic piled up around her than Pamela Lee Anderson's bra. And like, this is just the hypocrisy and the stupidity of these people. It just, it never stops. And so it's nice to know, you know, we had Germany a few weeks ago that you said, shut the, shut the lights off and let them sit in their own piss and shit. And then this person, she's going to go to jail for a little while. And I, it, it's just. just funny that these people just can't ever stop and look and just say, you know, like,

it's not yes or no when it comes to oil and gas. It's what are you going to replace it with? And to what degrees will that be better or worse in what different ways, right? This whole just stop oil is such as like just stop anything or just start anything or whatever else is just a ridiculously oversimplified argument. All of this stuff has nuance. There isn't a single thing in modern day stuff that doesn't have nuance. And so when people say the science is settled or that this is just the way it is,

or this is how we're moving forward, or this is bad and this is good, it's always compared to what. And these people have completely missed that class in economics. So I'm glad they're going to jail because it should be illegal to not know about economics. Vote two for prime minister. Conservatives want tax breaks, but only. if it's their idea. This was the NDP tweeting this out. And basically they, they were, uh, put a motion through to basically save everybody a bunch of money and the conservatives shot it down.

Yeah. So they wanted to add something onto a conservative bill that would have frozen GST on home heating costs. And the conservatives who have been fighting to get the carbon tax taken away because Canadians are hurting and they need relief and our tax. taxes are too high and we need to get away from taxes. And then the NDP says, well, we don't like your idea of getting rid of taxes. We've got our own idea of getting rid of taxes. And then the conservatives say, fuck that. That's not our idea of getting rid of taxes.

You keep those taxes. They're going to pay those fucking taxes. And we're going to try and get our other ones put through. And it's stupid. Here's the thing. Here's the right answer. If you're Pierre Polyev and you're listening to this, which you should be, the right answer to this is hey you know what jag meet

Canadians are hurting and we don't care which part of the tax bill you're going to cut down on the answer is yes like okay here ask me a question I want you to repeat after me twos do you support a reduction in taxes on home heating uh twos do you support a reduction in home heating say yes yes before you even get to it just the answer is yes By the time you get halfway through that question, I don't care what it looks like What it is if it's if it's a reduction in taxes on tennis balls or alcohol or Private Jets there should be no taxes on private jets just just open it all up get rid of these stupid fucking taxes GST gone PST gone whatever the hell that 18% shit show is at fucking Quebec out of here

Just cut the taxes I don't care which ones I and I don't care if one sexier than another. The answer is yes. How about some happy news? We're going to happy news? I know you rattled off like six other things in there, but I assume we're going to talk about them next week. Is that fair to say?

Which other things? Chinese protest, gun grab. I know you have. Oh, yeah. So I just kind of threw those out because they're fairly topical and they're fairly interesting. But, you know, like I said, we had a lot of stuff. and I was kind of thinking like,

and you've been kind of running and my ear, you know, and like I'm kind of curious what the listeners are going to say. They're probably going to be like, man, that twos was yelling at the mic a lot, which he probably was. And honestly, folks, for a good reason this week,

because there's been a lot of stupid shit. But how about some happy news? Could we do some happy news? Yeah, I mean, the idea of cutting taxes is happy news to me, but. Hey, 100% there. Let's start with one of the listeners. I want to say, Brian.

I hope I'm saying that right. I think it's Brianne. I apologize if I screwed your name up because I seem to do that a lot. She sent us one from Lecombe. You just called it Happy News and you cut out my headlines? What?

Yes, I did. Oh my God. Like, okay, okay. Here's Tews headlines for everybody. You asshole. Here's the... What a fucking douche. Okay.

It says, I saw Mommy proposing to Santa Claus. The first one comes in from a listener. She said, I think this would be great for happy news. It's La Cone. home here in Alberta. That's French for the comb. Ryan Reibel, I hope I'm to, you know, once again, had one extra special reason for sneaking into the middle of Lecombe's Santa Claus

parade last week. He thought it was the perfect opportunity to propose to his girlfriend, Chelsea Morrow. So shout out to those two. She said yes. Yeah, congratulations. And pretty cool. You know, I bought hats off to him for sneaking into a parade. I would have never thought of that.

Yeah, he crashed the Santa Claus parade, snuck in. And then drops down on one. knee in the middle of it, pulls out, you know, pulls out a sign and has an accomplice and she has no clue what's going on. So he's fully disguised. He's got the big white beard, the fat suit, the Santa Claus outfit and everything, and proposes to her. Do you think she recognized it before she said yes, or was she just so impressed by the whole thing that she's just like, whoever the hell this guy is? Yeah, I'm going to be making him cookies on Christmas Eve. I'll be his Mrs. Claus. The second one is meter maids tell motorist, uh,

get stuffed and its cities in Canada are allowing citizens to pay their parking fines with toys to help make sure children have a gift to open on Christmas morning the only requirement is the toy must be equal to or greater than the value of the parking ticket so I thought that honestly I said they canceled it's been going on since like 2004 something I think the article said like it 2005 but yeah 2005 it isn't a new thing but the first I'd ever heard of it and I thought that was pretty cool I'd never heard of it before I mean you know it's a really fun spin on this oh yeah sorry yeah keep going well i was just gonna say like parking tickets

tickets in general aren't cheap anymore imagine how many teddy bears that buys maybe maybe with all the inflation and everything it isn't that many but i feel like you could buy a lot of toys for kids i think it's just a fun positive thing like anytime you can get people interested in wanting to help out in their community even if it goes through a government bullshit fucking direction it's still a good thing right uh here's the thing thing though. Imagine how cool this would be if you did it for like ethics violations

in parliament. Right? You just be like, like okay, next time Trudeau gets busted for another thing, cozy and totally up with S&C. Lavlin, instead of the $200 fine for the Wii charity,

he's got to donate 200 bucks worth of teddy bears. I could see it. Instead of $200 worth of teddy bears, though, could it be like $10,000 worth of teddy bears and plant maybe three trees because they, you know, all the billion dollars worth of trees they're going to plant.

They didn't do any of that either. Maybe. I don't know. Just me thinking aloud. Well, I mean, you'd think like if anything else, the liberals would be great at planting trees because they love to bury shit. I hear you. I hear you.

Well, hey, it's been another, uh, it's been another week of, uh, mashup 33. Another week. I figured I'm going to put on the intro song for the exit because I'm like you know what Do we need a different song for the outro? Maybe we do. Maybe we do.

I don't know. I don't want people thinking they're getting too much of a good thing here with the intro song. Hence why we should go back to the clip. Oh, fuck the clip. People have already spoken to's. Thanks for another great week and I look forward to mashup 34. Hey? All right, buddy.

It's going to be great. We'll see you next week. Yeah, buddy.
