I can't believe you. Oh, man, I'm glad I learned how to do that. You know, for the listener tuned in live tonight, first ever time we've done it live, so if you're wanting to comment along, we're going to take a look at comments, maybe at the very end, just to throw back to the people that are tuning in on a Monday night

as we record the matchup 38. But I literally... If you're coming at any time, don't wait till the end. Sure, yes, absolutely. I just realized I could silence 2's the entire intro song, and I'm like, oh, I'm just like giddy on this side. And twos, you guys can't see it. But in the waiting room, twos is losing as uncontrollable shit.

And it's great. Either way, it's great. It's great to have you all here. And twos, it's great to have you back for mashup 38. Go fucking go. You know, we did this last night. We messed around so I could get ready for Daniel Smith because I'd never done a, you know, like a true-on live interview.

And so me and you messed around on this last night, had a little bit of fun and thought, heck, Let's try it out for the mashup and see how it goes. So yeah, welcome back. We don't have a title sponsor right now, although the idea has been thrown out there. Yes, the idea has been thrown out there about maybe some small businesses taking a month apiece

and partitioning it off for the year of 2023. So we'll see where that leads. That sounds like something interesting to you. Hit me up. The phone number is in the show notes, pretty much on anything I do. So I'm pretty easy to track. down if you want. Other than that, too, is what have, what have I missed so far before we get

rolling on this sucker? Well, you missed an entire rant that I had planned. That's too bad. And now I'm not going to do it. I think we all just benefited tonight. Maybe I should just click it off right now. Would that be, I feel like that would maybe just, you know, hey, done. You can just do the mash-up on your, by yourself, you big dumb jerk. All right, if you're new to the show, this is how it works. We got 12 items tonight. We're going to spend roughly two minutes apiece on each of them, breaking down the headlines of Canada the last week and maybe a bit more,

and we'll see where we get to. Of course, the clock will start, and we'll get rolling. The first one. I guess I could bring it up, you know. The first one and two is really... It's your job. Well, I know, but you screwed it up on me this week. you decided to change the...

Oh, I'm sorry? Are you upset that I threw a wrench into things? Yeah, that is rather frustrating, isn't it? Our certainty about glacier melt is eroding current predictions of ice melt and the Arctic are probably way off. According to an updated model, glaciers in the icy north could be slipping into the sea up to 100 times faster than previously forecasted, too. What's your thoughts on predictive models on glacier melt? Well, I thought this would be a good one to have first because it would be a great way to break the ice. But, yeah, yeah, I'll be here all night, folks.

Anyway, it's really funny because, first of all, like icebergs move at what, like a mile a year or something like that? So being like 100 times faster, this is like a snail becoming a caterpillar or something like that. It's just the idea of the glaciers moving so much faster. You know, when you think about like how many tens of thousands of years it took them to sweep across the prairies. Like, oh, no, it's happening 100 times faster. Really isn't that fast when you think about it. But also, these are the same people who are constantly telling us that the science is settled and that there's no more debate. There's no more questions to be answered.

This is all figured out already. So just shut up and do what we're telling you. Oh, yeah. and we were off by a factor of 100? Like, yeah. I guess I could hit the buzzer. You know, that might work. I'm sitting here staring and people are going,

what's Sean doing? Anyways, I really have nothing to add. I think you get your point across, which takes us into your second title here. Palliier gives speech to fringe minority. Geez, he does that seemingly every second week. He's talking to people. Shocking.

Anyways, conservative leader Pierre Poliath, face criticism from his political opponents Friday for delivering a speech to the Frontier Center for Public Policy that's the FCPP, a controversial Winnipeg base group that has been associated with efforts to downplay the effects

of residential schools on indigenous children and oppose vaccine mandates. Where do you want to head? Opposing vaccine mandates. I know. That's shocking. Anyways. Yeah, they must be just absolutely horrible people. and bad parents and

and just the kind of people who just like throw water on the sidewalks outside old people's homes in the winter and yeah like just could you imagine the audacity of this alt-right fringe something supremacist group who opposed vaccine mandates the audacity the thing I recall is when Daniel Smith went to the

APP event in eminenton Alberta Prosperity Project and a bunch of candidates back then out of the seven didn't go you know like Travis Taves who ended up being second didn't show up to that. Lila here Rebecca Schultz there was a couple others you know that didn't show up and I found that very interesting right if you're going to buckle to public you know to the media pressure not to go talk to part of people that are going to turn out and vote I mean well they can pretty much frame that on you at any time of day they want and they certainly when it comes to Pierre or back then Danielle they certainly did that any opportunity they got and I

always found it interesting when like Pierre's a calculated guy don't think he went there not knowing a whole bunch about this but I can't sit here and say I know exactly what this group stands for but I don't know many of the finer points like I just loop I just literally Google Frontier Center and tried to find the controversies around them because I'm like okay, well, I've never heard of these people. Are they even, are they even nearly as bad as what the media portrays them to me? And my first guess was probably not. Probably not.

And I didn't get into the finer points of the residential school stuff. But even the race and IQ thing, like this is something that Thomas Soul has written big sections of a few different books about, where there is a correlation between race and IQ. When you talk about how in the states, they say that, um, the same. standardized testing is unfairly discriminating against minorities, which is basically saying that they get lower scores, which on some level is agreeing with what's being said. You know, the funny thing about Thomas Sol is when he said, like, the highest aggregate IQs or highest mean IQs in different races, he said it was the Jewish people that have the highest

average IQ. Like, you think about it, like, look at Asians. You take any average Asian, they're probably smarter than us. There's a lot of people. There's a lot of people smarter than me and you, big fella. I don't think that's a shock. I mean, hey, you know. Hey, breaking news.

I don't know if you knew this, but taxes cost money. The average Canadian family can expect to pay up to $847 on carbon taxes even after rebates are dished out, according to the Canadian taxpayer federation. on top of the direct cost to taxpayers' pocketbooks, the CTF pointed to the $116 million spent by the federal government to run the carbon levy collection program on 0-8. The carbon tax is expected to spike by 14 cents per liter in April of this year, and 12 cents per cubic meter for natural gas. So it's going up, and it's going to cost us more,

and we're already not getting it all back and all that good stuff. Well, I mean, just think about this mathematically speaking. if the carbon tax actually gave people more money back than they paid into it like if that just if it just magically worked that way why wouldn't we have like a nine million percent carbon tax like just just make it outrageously expensive have literally just tens of thousands of dollars added on to everybody's monthly gas bill because they'd be getting 11s of thousands of dollars back like just as a concept it doesn't make a lick of sense like somewhere in the middle, money just magically just falls from the sky. Oh, and it costs us $160 million to do it.

So the money that fell from the sky also covers that $160 million. Like, this is. Yeah, as soon as you have administration running, as soon as you have administration running a program, there's going to be money to pay at least that, right? They got to pay their time and everything else and the programming and everything else. So it's basically we pay into it. They skim a percentage and then they give us back a little bit and they tell you oh it's going to be you don't worry it's not going to hurt the consumer except you just defined every single government program sorry folks taking a sip of uh this fine uh water tonight yeah scottie petrie wouldn't be happy about that you know he'd be he's he's wondering why we're not doing it in person uh anyways having a couple of his beverages he left

the cell cartel smells um marketplace asked why are Canadian cell phone bills higher than other other countries? And, you know, I guess I've never really put much thought into it, too, is truthfully. I mean, yeah, from time to time I get a bill on, geez, that's whatever. But do you ever, like, sit back and wonder what other countries are? Well, here. Canada's cost per gigabyte is seven times more expensive than Australia, 25 times more than Ireland and France, and a thousand times more than Finland,

according to analysis. That's a kick in the nuts. I mean, a factor of 1,000, that's even bigger than the iceberg thing. Like, this is just the tip of the iceberg. I mean, like, think about it. Is it just because... You could literally run a thousand cell phones in Finland for the cost of the one in Canada. Of one here, yes.

And, you know, one of the guys in the article, and I'm forgetting his name right now, I wrote it down, and where the hell did I put that? Roder. Anthony La Cavaver was talking about, wind and i've never even heard of this it must be out in the east and he said he tried starting up a competitive you know uh provider and they just didn't even follow the rules he basically got bought out because they weren't following the rules they're like geez if that doesn't sound like canna i don't know what does yeah well here's the solution this is the same thing with jag meet sing and saying

oh yeah the evil CEOs and whatever else and what can we possibly do to lower costs here's what you could do you can deregulate it because it's all protectionist stuff this is This is the same as any other cartel, which we may or may not decide to name, where if you actually want the cost for consumers to go down a little bit, you just open up the market. Here you go. The RCMP puts the boots to its one good member. A BC Mountie, this is interesting.

I'd never heard of this guy before, although his stuff is over like a year old since it's been published. Like how they ever found anyways. A BC Mountie's anti-Trudeau website is causing waves and a small West Cootney community and raising concerns about political bias among the ranks of the RCMP. That's what it took to raise concerns

about political bias amongst the ranks of the RCMP. The Church of Trudeau website was online last November and early December and featured theatrical performances by a man dressed up as multiple characters and what appears to be satirical, political commentary about the prime minister and what the site referred to

as a left-wing liberal ideology and RCP officer Brent Lord quoted as saying our religion teaches the importance of socialism of canceling everyone that offends anyone of being woke and highly emotional and what are they trying to do they're trying to cancel it here there there you go for nobody who's ever seen this the Church of Trudeau like I saw this and I'm like this is actually pretty funny like I wish I could go back and watch all the videos. You probably can find them somewhere.

Who am I kidding? But anyways, this is the church of Trudeau. This has got this guy in hot water. I want to be clear, probably being a police officer, probably wasn't a smart idea to do this. In saying that... You can be political in many other ways as a police officer. True.

Why is this the one sacred cow? Well, yeah, yeah. Maybe cops, I think, are supposed to be more vanilla, Well, they are supposed to be. But here's the thing is that the groundwork has already been laid. Like the rules of engagement have been set and this guy is following along with them. It's just that he's not going in the direction that the establishment wants him to. And therefore, he's bad.

If the same thing happens to different, if the same, if different people do the same thing and you treat them differently based on what group they belong to or what packed their part of or what their perspective is, you're just being a dick. Everyone is working for the government. I feel like this is recurring over and over and over and over and over again. Since 2015, the number of federal, provincial, and local employees has grown by 18.5%. Twice as fast as the private sector where employment growth was 9%. What is less appreciated is over-the-top employment growth in federal and departments and agencies.

there were 336,000 federal government employees in 2022, up from 257,000 in 2015, a 30.7% increase. And then it went on to, man, it went on to say a whole bunch of this article, but the bigger than ever federal bureaucracy is costing Canadians a bundle. Federal employee compensation rose from 38 billion in 2015 to 58 billion in 2021, a whopping 52% percent. increase in that time. Yeah. So this is definitely a recurring game, but I feel like, you know, we've got to have our listeners backs.

And you recall there was the one person who was asking about something roughly akin to this a few months ago. And look, here's, here's further evidence for the next time you're at a family gathering. I think it was a relative. They said they were talking to about this that just didn't believe them. Like, here's further evidence.

Here's news article after news article about how insanely expensive things have gotten. 52% in seven years. You're, you know, that's, that's roughly 8,000% per minute. No, it is. But the point is incredibly high, right? Like it just keeps going and going and going like 50% in seven years. If that was your investment, if that was an investment, you'd say that was doing pretty, well, you'd say it was doing pretty decent. It's almost seven and change percent year over your increase.

And you can point out very clearly, it's buying votes too. Like, I mean, at the end of the day, like we all vote for what's in front of us. Right. Like, if I didn't leave the oil patch, maybe I'd have different ideas on energy and everything else. I hope I wouldn't. But at the same time, because that is something that affects everyone. But if your job is working for the federal government and the, you know, incoming government is running on, We're going to.

Incentive. Yes. To vote for bigger government, for more public sector, for better pensions, for a larger group, all of that stuff. You've got this disproportional incentive compared to the average voter. And it begs the question. Should, you know, I talked about this before. Like, it's a question that really ought to be discussed just to come up with a decent answer. and just to bring up good points of corn against.

But the question is, should people in the public sector be allowed to vote? It's an interesting question. Honestly, it is. Because for us, it's making, you know, the fractions add up, but it's just a fraction of a difference, whether that one specific person has a job with the public sector or not. But for that specific person, it's a huge difference, right? Like, it's only a couple bucks for us, but it's literally a hundred, thousand dollars for them right and so who are they going to vote for it they're going to vote for the

hundred thousand dollar answer not the two dollar answer even if it's irresponsible as a voter and probably has here i would i would argue it's unethical too modern art is shit yeah simply put okay i'm going to pull this up okay we're we're going to this is the unveiling of uh here um the new bronze sculpture in Boston at common authoring honoring Martin Luther King Jr. and Koretta Scott King called Boston Statue of Liberty. Many are saying it resembles something else. You decide, listener, I'm sure a lot of people have seen this. Watch the unveiling. What is your initial thoughts, dudes? Well, it looks like it looks like something a person might do with their wife or girlfriend and it kind of almost looks like someone's putting their own head up their ass and

apparently if you look at it from a different angle it looks like you're holding a giant pile of crap yeah it's so yeah it doesn't look like anything at all like what it's supposed to look like which is supposed to be like the i don't know head embrace of the two of them yeah well yeah the the the uh here i can even here give me a second give me a second i'll pull up uh yeah you can't kick me out of the room just look at the here this is what this is this is what it's supposed to be commemorating right there that photo that photo if you look at if you look back at uh um don't close it you look like you're about closing it there you go there so that's that's what that's what it's trying is the arms right that's what it's trying to do anyways to me i'm like i wonder if the

camera guy's sitting there and he's like oh oh that does uh I should have picked a better angle right like is it just the angle I can't tell but when I first thought I'm like what the heck is that like it took me a long long time uh slowly piece that together and even then I was kind of like that was a strange way to frame that and uh anyways that that's that's my thoughts but this is one of those things i feel like nobody checked in on that artist at all during any point in the creation They're like, no, no, it'll be fine. It'll be fine.

It'll be fine. And then at the grand unveiling, they're like, they said it was picked out of, they said it was picked out of 125 applicants. Imagine how shitty all the other ones must have been. This is like the Sistine Chapel and like some tiny little corner of it. Michelangelo drew a bishop doing some weird sex thing or something like that. I can't remember final points of it. And no one even noticed for like 400 years.

Okay? But I mean like that, you can try to get away with. Because, you know, it's pretty high up. You know, it's a chapel. It's got high-seat. This thing is right. This thing is giant. Yes.

The only good thing going for it is that it's going to be really hard to tip over. McKinsey is the new S-N-C-Lavalin. This, I mean, once a- I never even heard of these guys until a week ago. Okay, so I'm going to try and do this article justice because this is another one that just had a ton of stuff packed into it. An increase from $2.2 million during the Harper era is what McKinsey got from the government as a private contractor.

And now they're up to $66 million under the liberals. In the last seven years, yeah. Correct. In the press conference, Palliv, whatever, said, Canadians need to know what influence McKinsey has had in our government before calling for an official inquiry into the firm's Canadian operations, a proposal that was immediately endorsed by both the NDP and Block Cobecois. The spur for Pallivier's statement was a recent investigation report that Radio Canada finding that the Trudeau government had spent 66 million on sole-sourced McKinsey contracts since coming to power in 2015. and then the article just it just it just it just kept going I was like oh okay interesting so on and on and like all these international yeah yeah it's like over and over and over

again so here here here let me let me toss a couple for the listen let me toss a couple for the listen this is far from the first time that mackenzie has faced the nations scoring for allegedly wielding an opaque okay sorry two years ago the global consulting firm paid almost 600 million under a deal with 49 U.S. states for promoting the sale of opioids such as Purdue pharma oxycotton, which contributed to a deadly overdose crisis in the United States, obviously. Then it went on to say they're currently, McKinsey is currently the subject of a criminal probe in France on charges that they allegedly violated French campaign laws and played an unlawful role in the country's 2017 and 2022 presidential elections.

You know, I heard those were supposed to be unquestionably valid, too, right? Then it went on to talk about Trudeau's government links to McKinsey seems to be particularly close. If only for the fact, they didn't limit themselves to contracts. They ended up hiring one of the consultancy's most influential executives, and that was Dominic Barton, and he spent a decade as McKinsey's Global Managing Director before he left in 2018. And let me, you know, like this reads like a giant conspiracy article. Yeah. He took up a job as Canada's ambassador to where?

China. And now he's been, he left because of accusations of being too cozy with Beijing. You think? Anyways. His job literally to be friends with Beijing. With Beijing. Right.

And how much sway can he actually have? You basically just kind of, I don't know, as far as I understand, diplomats are more or less just kind of salespeople, you know, go-betweens. They're just sort of like a friendly face so that you're not just arguing at a computer screen.

They're there to just smooth things over. They're there to play nice. And so he's playing too nice with China. And he gets fired. I guess the fact that we've been playing too nice in China for a while. How is it? But that's kind of his job. And so, I mean, the whole thing is just, you know.

Yeah, I mean, Trudeau's government just continues to bring in the bad boys. And McKinsey is another one on a global scale that is just, you know, It doesn't shock me anymore because these stories play out every single week we do this. And here they are, yet again, new name, but the same outcomes, the same stories, the same just like, is this really fact? Oh yes, it is. This isn't conspiracy. This is playing out in the Canadian government. Every damn week.

Roxham Road is a bridge too far for the fucking Quebec. This is going, this one's interesting. Like everybody knows about Roxham Road, I think. I think everybody's, you know, by now understood about the illegal immigrants all fleeing and trying to sneak into Canada, except not really sneaking. You know, we've talked a lot about this. This is interesting. Frederick Bastion.

I'm going to just, once again, names. I'm going to be terrible here. To say it purposely wrong. That's right. Because it's Quebec. Anyways, President of Justice, poor La Quebec. Anyways, Alleges that Trudeau may come. comments that encourage illegal crossings into Canada at the infamous Roxham Road,

uh, border point between New York State and Quebec. Private citizens in Canada have the right to initiate criminal proceedings without relying on the crown to initiate them. Bastion said he believes he has reasonable grounds to protect with prosecution, which if successful could result in the prime minister being subject to a fine or even imprisonment. I have no hope that will ever happen. Oh, no, no, no, listen, this guy's slippery as a salmon. Like he, he just like, come.

on. He's not getting caught on this one. Do you think that he would allow any judge in the country to limit the amount of extracurricular activities, vacation days, fucking jet setting all over the place? Like if you gave him home arrest

for a month, he would probably just have himself in a closet. No, I disagree. Somehow his house arrest would be surfing in Tefino. And everyone was like, well, how do you get there?

Don't worry about it. He'd be on plain arrest. It's plain arrest, that's right. You've been the first person that ever get convicted. Here's the plain arrest. Here's a crazy stat. A recent compilation from the journal de Montreal showed that a record number of 150,000 asylum seekers entered Canada

since Trudeau's 2017 tweet. The tweet said, in here, if I scroll up. To those fleeing persecution terror and war Canadians, who will welcome you regardless of your faith. Thank you. Okay. Yes. From to Canada.

Of that number, so of the 150,000 that have seeked asylum, 91,000 entered through Roxham Road. 91,000. There's literally like cab companies on the New York side that have signs on the side of their cabs advertising the flat rates for driving them to the border. Oh, man, 91,000. This is, it's an actual industry,

this Roxham Road. Like, think about, like, you know, we, I get the fact that the government's in charge of immigration and therefore it sucks. But we have a program. There's a door here. Walk through the door. Show us your paperwork. We'll get you figured out.

They're like, now, fuck that. Can we talk about the NDP? I feel like we haven't been given the NDP their dude this week. How about this? I'm sorry. I feel like we've been giving them way more credit than they actually deserve.

Why don't we start talking about them more when they actually become a serious party? That might be true. I really enjoyed this headline, though. I thought you bang on. Alberta NDP running on Give a Man a Fish campaign strategy. Brilliant. I think twos should write for them. Alberta NDP leader Rachel Notley says the federal government needs to drastically increase its planned investment in lower emissions energy projects if it wants to adjust transition of workers away from high pollution jobs. I still can't say that right. And I was even talking to Danielle Smith about it earlier today. Either way. stemming from Canada's commitment to the 2015 International Paris Agreement, these are all the, you know, the zero emission targets, you know, 2025.

Just transition. That's right. They're trying. Anyways, just transition refers to finding good paying jobs for workers in low carbon emitting industries. In its election platform, the federal liberals promised a two billion futures fund for Alberta, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland, Labrador, and Labrador to transition employees away from oil and gas. So you can understand why Daniel Smith, why people from Alberta and Saskatchewan aren't feeling the love when it comes to just transition. But the NDP say, you know, we could use some help. Give us some more money.

Well, I mean, that's basically like their go-to is just, oh, there's a problem. We need more money. We need more tax dollars. Like when has anyone from the NDP ever said, you know what, we're spending too much money on this? or we should find a smarter, more efficient way to deliver whatever else. It's always, we need more money, more money at it. The solution is always just cash. Like, they're like rap stars.

And they just want to MC hammer the whole economy. Capital of welfare state moves to become official welfare state. This is basic. It's a blow of the belt. shot at New Brunswick, but tell me I'm wrong. So this is, this is the tweet. Breaking basic income motion put forward

by the city of St. John Council was passed unanimously. It's a little two-minute video. I think it's great news. When was the first time you ever heard of basic income? How long ago was that an idea where you're like, that's a strange idea?

Yeah, it's just working. Yeah. that you can achieve a basic level of income. You just have to show up every day. But as far as like the UBI stuff, I don't know, I'd say maybe like 10 years ago. Yeah, well, I was thinking, I was thinking, I remember hearing down in like California trying at like a long-ass time ago. And I was like, that's a strange idea.

Man, that'll never come. And here it is entering Canada, although albeit on the very far side. Yeah. Anytime it enters Canada, you've got to go. Well, how long until it enters this way, Tews? How long until it starts to seep further into society? Because once upon a time, it was this long, man, that idea will never come. They were talking about the amount of automation and how people were eventually going to have zero jobs

and they were going to have to have universal basic income to support people. That was the idea back then, is automation going to push so many people out of jobs. And now here it is sitting on the far side of Canada. I think it's great news. I think that for small communities, you know, groups area, like, cohesive areas where people are kind of together and they're, they're fairly homogenous group, like within reason. If they want to try and do things differently,

if they want to spend money on this or that or whatever else, like Oxford's trying out the 15-minute city idea, we can talk about that maybe in a couple weeks. You want to try that. Have it. Let's see if it works, right? Who knows? I can be wrong. I've been wrong about all kinds of stuff. I was even wrong about stuff today. I tell you what? I'm going to hit the buzz. I'm going to hit the buzzer. It's going to be a disaster.

I'm going to hit the buzzer. I feel like people should be able to try it. I'm going to hit the buzzer. The 15-minute city thing really hurts me. You know, like the idea, like you don't travel outside your little zone and you have everything in your zone and everything else. You just about that on Sunday. Maybe I will. Maybe I'll bring that up. Maybe we'll put that in the question. What twos is talking about is if I what did I tell you before we start 18 tickets left? I think that's what I would I said SMP presents the rural urban divide here in Lloydminster at the Gold Horse Casino featuring Quick Dick MacDick fans Crow and Steve Barber and there's 18 tickets left so if you haven't got one it looks like it's going to be close to a sellout a sellout to sell out twos will be there I'll be there obviously hosting and

Maybe we'll toss it in the question for the roundtable because certainly the 15-minute city idea would never fly out here but hey if they want to try it sure too's all I'll I'm gonna buzz it myself here as I I just don't like the idea of you know anyways you should do that more often by the way but you're happy news for this week here's your happy news and if people are I see I got a few You, you son of a bitch. I did. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa. You know, I know we don't, like a couple times here we've been doing in person. No worries. I got you. I got you. Happy news for this week. As we close in on the end. I just, can I finish talking here?

Can I finish talking? All right. Who's leading this ship? Anyways, I was just going to say to the people who are on, who are, that's right. If you're on Facebook, if you're, you're following along on Twitter, you got a question or a comment on on the things we've rattled off. I'm going to poke it open here in about two seconds after we get through this,

and maybe we'll have a little fun there. So if you got a comment, by all means, now is the time. And if there's no comments, then I guess the show's done early. But here, here is what he's upset about. Tews is upset because I won't pull this headline up. It says, Scandinavian archaeologists get in touch with their feminine side by digging up old shit. Okay, all right.

You slow rolled me. I slow rolled you. You, like, he gets so... You bastard. You bastard. Okay, so, and, you know, I'm going to butcher this. Why do I got to read all these things? Anyways, archaeologist working in Denmark's, is it Jutland Peninsula?

Yutland. Yutland? All right, fair enough. You got to, like, whenever you're saying anything kind of Scandinavian, you know, it's to speak from the front of your mouth, middle, the back. You've got to speak from, like, a foot behind. yet. Here's your happy news, folks, you know.

Yutland. Anyways, it's me and two is going back and forth. Somewhere you're driving tomorrow morning or somewhere you're sitting tonight going, what are these morons doing anyways? The Yutland Peninsula have discovered the foundation of a great hall from the high Viking age. Structural features and rains date back to the way. Which, by the way, is not a lunisogenic thing. Just to be clear.

Did you even want me to read any of this? Hey man, you guys just want to let go. Go murder a bunch of mugs and take their gold and shit. Oh, yeah, that'd be deadly. They'll all know to British Columbia. And somebody else is like, dude, what's British Columbia? It was the era of Denmark's King,

Harold, no, as Bluetooth. That's how it's translated. You skipped the head all. I did. I did, because I'm not reading the rest of that, but you just jibber, jabbering on that side. Oh, my goodness. We're going to go back to happy news.

Questions here. Here's what came in, all right? Anyways, they found a giant, it's a brand new thing. Here it comes in. No to 15 minutes cities, all a bunch of BS. This is from Kimberly. Completely agree. I agree.

I feel like if people, if there's a small group of people that want to try it without just dragging an entire nation down with them, you know give it a shot give me a shot you know worst case scenario you guys do you think they want to try that there do you think the people are actually like this makes sense or do you think they're sitting there going this is bad shit crazy i can't remember did the oxford town council specifically run on the idea of doing 15 minute city probably i i know that it's been based on i think it's some frog um did some you know just sort of no life experience proposal about the idea of a 15 minute city a while back and then somebody said oh yeah let's try

that you're like okay well yeah sure you know what like if if there's some little area that just wants to have low taxes and minimal government intervention let them do that and if there's one that just wants to go completely apes shit and throw on this 50 minute city idea sure right it's it's the only way you're going to figure out what does and doesn't work well i tell you what it could be a really good object lesson for the next person wants to try it. It'd be one way to try it, like to just throw it on and be like, hey, let's see what happens here. I think it's a poor idea, too.

I think it's a really poor idea. And I would never want to be involved in it whatsoever. But if some other people living in a different part of the world that I don't know and I don't really understand the way things are where they live, if they think that that's the best solution for them, I don't really have room to criticize what they're going to do that isn't going to affect me. affect you yet we just talked about universal basic income and how it's coming into Canada okay well I will just move to Mars I will get on one of you on you're gonna

get on Elon's money yeah yeah and you know what the the universal basic income won't be there because Mars isn't part of universe and I'll be fine okay what else we got that I tell you what the the other thing that came up was from was from was from from was from Joanne she taught she hopped in last she's talking about to Wouldn't they share towers? And she's talking about the cell phones. This is going back to the cell phones. And what the article talked about with Wind,

the guy who had started to, here, let me pull up his name again. Trying to be a disruptor. Yeah, try and be disruptors. They had to put in some crazy amount of towers. And half the time it was side by side with other towers. That was the whole thing he was talking about is that it wasn't what they had,

you know, they weren't following the rules at that time. at the end of the article it talks about how he wants to get back into it now because he believes the rules are being more enforced whether or not that's true who knows yeah i mean god forbid that companies that cozy up here's the thing is call me call me tinfoil hat here's my theory is that the reason why the internet providers and the cell phone providers whatever else gets such free reign to limit the market so incredibly vehemently is that when bill c21 passes the government has to go to them and say hey you know what we need you to just start following

this draconian rule that nobody likes and they're going to say well you know what you made us all billionaires so i'll give you this one just this is just glad-handed you seeing this at the bottom Here's Zane. Zane back in from last night as well. He said the 15-minute city effect appeared in the Leap Manifesto from the National NDP just after anti-Rachel took reigns of Alberta's fate in 2014. There you go. Zane's on top of it. You know, I remember reading the Leap Manifesto back in the day, and it was pretty far out there. I haven't looked at it lately. I kind of feel like it deserves for the Root.

Probably deserves going back to just to have a little looky see. I could tell you this. I could tell you this, Zane. Sean in 2014 was not worried about any of this. One iota. He wasn't paying attention to Jack's squat. At 2014, if memory serves me correct. Yeah, I was getting married.

That's what I was doing in 2014. What were you doing in 2014 twos? 2014, I was a busy guy. I was a field supervisor at a company. I used to work that, and I put something like 60,000 kilometers on a brand new truck that year. And I put on a stupid amount of weight because I lived off of gas station cheeseburgers and spent an ungodly amount of time just driving. So you weren't paying attention to this either.

Is that what I'm taking? I was just starting to kind of get into it. Probably about 2013 was when I was like, well, you know, everything. that I've kind of heard about doesn't really, you know, none of that makes sense, none of that makes sense. And there's a guy I used to work with who's like, well, here's life doesn't make sense. And here's life doesn't make sense.

And I'm like, okay, well, that actually does fit. And then kind of went off on my own down a little bit of a rabbit hole. Next thing you know, 22. There you go. All right, folks, mashup 38. We tried out the live. We tried it out for all of you. We tried it out for us.

Well, he'll be able to use the cell phone cartel. I don't know. Does the Dairy Cartel get a deal with the cell phone cartel? they probably slide them a couple of jugs of milk onto the table for a couple of cell phones you know oh yeah yeah yeah we'll give you yeah yeah you know you think about like when people are like divvying up the heist they're like flipping through the bills and then the the cell phone cartel be like skim milk are you skimming on me are you skimming on me are you skimming on me uh we got to have a little fun with the dairy uh the dairy farmers thank you for uh tuning in to
