Motherfucker, not fucking kick me. Let the song play. Okay. So here's the thing. It's, past news, is an idiot. You got a sweet deal on an old router. I'm really extra sure that he'll get rid of course. I'm letting this song play, man.

I'm doing it for George. Today's episode sponsor. You know, he said he wanted to hear the song more. He does love the song. Just crank it up. That's what I was thinking. He does love the song. You know, we'll get enough of Toos thoughts today.

Won't we folks? Do I got to have it every freaking time at the start? I don't know. How's Toos doing? Tews wants to jump through the screen and strange. That's fine. We're in two different places, baby. You can't come get me.

Oh. Soon enough. Soon enough. Yeah, soon enough. Soon enough. Yeah, soon enough. MASH up 76, man. The P.K.

Subain. of mashrips. Yes. See, Karen gets it. What a name to Shoalter. I like that. That sounds smooth. Hey, Karen Schoelter.

It's got some flow to it. It does. It does. I'm just saying, welcome to Mashup 76. George said he wanted the song. He is the sponsor of today's mashup. What the man wants, the man gets.

Brought to you by Old World Flooring. That, of course, is George. He was working. in the event we were at in Calgary together and had mentioned multiple times how you loved the song so we thought we just play it. I am being a little tongue in cheek here folks. He is the go-to crew when it comes to tile in the Calgary and surrounding regions. You're looking for a new back splash, handicap is accessible shower. They do commercial, residential jobs, new homes, renovations. And I, my breath is up. Have you seen what European tiling looks

like compared to art tiling. Do you know what I'm talking about when I bring that up? Not really, no. Well, the next time we're in that area, we're gonna take you to George's house or something just to show you, because you walk in and I'm like, I guess if you're looking to stand out, you have a house to stand out, George does that.

It's like, you walk in and like, oh man, this is, this is something. Anyways, they wanna make sure by the end of the project you get your money's worth and you realize what you're looking for, what you want, they're gonna do it. They're not going to cut corners. Of course, Too's going to make some funny comment on here.

Both they obviously do cut corners, which, of course, they do. Just not in the ways that our government does all the fucking time, okay? OWF.LTD. www. www. www. www. Old world flooring.

Mash of 76. You know, it's really going to fire twos up today because it is the P.K. Subin. Of mash. Well, I mean, yeah, we all know how big of a fan I am of everything French. He's pretty excited, folks. Yeah. Now, you couldn't find any other player who's had 76.

No, he was the defenseman in the year once upon a time. Norse trophy winner. Sentence is in love for Putticana. Who's in Punta Canna listening to us? Morgan Anderson. Well, shout out to you folks. I tell you what. Morgan, how is das?

If I was sitting in Punta cana, I don't know. Like, I like us to. What? Ust-S. Ustead is the Putt de Kana. I am the Canada.

I have a podcast. Oh. This is the content you tune in for folks. Now, if you were sitting in Lumsden on October 24th, 7 p.m., people have been asking,

okay? There's no tickets. It's donation only. You show up to the Lumsden Hotel and Steak Pit. Show starts at 7, so I'd be there early. I've been told

it's going to be a full house. I don't know if that's true or not, but we're planning for a sellout. You don't have to buy tickets. You just got to show up. And then on the 25th, Bradwell is confirmed. We got it ironed out. It is Hank's Tavern 7 p.m. on the 25th. We're going to have Cooper.

Dang it. Is it Tropo? Tropio? I don't know. And I was totally sent the pronunciation of it. But, you know, as Henry will text me laughing, he loves when I mispronounced names. So there you go. We're going to have a country music singer singing after the show.

So at 7 o'clock and Bradwell, he's going to go after the show. Well, I think so. Don't you have the music after? Why would you have the music before? Yeah, I don't know. Cool. Yeah. I don't know, because you mentioned before that he was going to start the show off.

And I was like, okay, that's cool. I don't know. One less thing for me to worry about. I think you have him after. And then, you know, as twos is, you know, what is it glad-handing everybody, you know, shaking hands, kissing babies, making a couple twos jokes. You got a little tunage in the background. That's what I was thinking. Okay.

All right. So Bradwell on October 25th. Now we got one slight change. That's Irma is now on a Friday night, October 27th. This donations at the door and bar, anything made is going to one of the families in Irma who lost. a bunch to a fire. We're talking, trying to help that family out. So now you got a bunch as in like their house.

Correct. So it's going to be Albert Hall near Irma, October 27th, which is a Friday. And that is confirmed. So now it's all laid out. That's going to start at seven as well. So seven o'clock. You don't need tickets. We're not selling tickets.

We're going to try and jar these places as full as we can get them. Support a couple of local bars. Support Albert Hall and Irma and now a family. and have a little bit of fun. And Tews has been whittling away on his stage presence with our table. What do we call it? Table, desk. The news desk.

The news desk. So I tell you, you're not going to get this type of entertainment anywhere else, folks. Only the mashup could pull off this level of scale. We've spent probably roughly $22.22, give or take, on this. and we're excited about it. Just for anybody who does go to these events, well, for Sean, I guess, actually this might be a good thing to just say it like this.

We need to take that desk down immediately afterwards because it probably can't stand people leaning on it or setting drinks on it or looking at it harshly. Are you trying to make fun of what I made at my last, my second last show when I made everybody take their table covers and chair covers off the chair? No, no, I'm saying that this thing, is going to be held together by like duct tape and karma.

DARTT. Ah, goodness gracious. 76. Any other thoughts on the world tour coming up here? Two is only in a couple weeks. Like, it's getting close. I'm not going to lie. It's close.

I've been getting a few different texts going, hey, how do I get tickets to these things? You don't. You show up. You show up. You show up early. You make sure you get your favorite spot. And, yeah, it should be interesting.

it'll be good I'm looking forward to it I've got they don't all know it yet but I got a bunch of buddies who are going to be coming to Bradwell great a bunch of twos buddies

hey yeah and you know I was well I think we were talking about this one time there might have been a few beers involved how like you and I pretty much same page

on a lot of things and how I'm pretty sure that you could just sub in for me hanging out with my friends from high school football and after about five minutes it would just be seamless they wouldn't even notice that it was gone anymore and they would just be like yeah this is this is Sean and that would be it

are we recording these live events to put out later yes the plan is to record um oh you didn't know that too's no no the plan is to for sure record the audio and um hopefully if if i can manage it maybe we'll see if we can pull off some video too i can't guarantee that because we're going to be in small town bars and nothing against like the tech of a small town bar i'm just like i don't know if it'll look like anything anyways but yes we're going to try in and capture as much as we can um me and twos might be doing a series of podcasts as well while we drive each day and releasing those so that so that way people can hear how it's going that might be one week of the podcast It's just me and Toos driving around Saskatch when yelling at each other.

To all of the listeners, I just want you to realize that we're all hearing this for the first time. No, Tews is kind of like, it's probably like the way my wife talks about me sometimes. I have selective hearing, and sometimes she's like literally explained all this. And, oh yeah, oh, yeah. Hey, what are we doing next week? And then she'll tell you, oh, yeah, I literally just told you that. Tews, I literally just told you that. Anyways, I have told you all of this.

I was at James Lindsay and none of it stuck. None of it stuck, folks. All right. Well, I guess you're my podcast wife. So I don't know how you feel about that. I don't know. We kind of feel like an old married couple at times. Yep.

I'm, uh, is Sean's salary on the LTIR now with his sissy sore knee? Yes, Matt. I have a, unbelievable. I have a sore knee, folks. I have a sore knee. I'm getting picked on. And no worries about the video.

Audio is good. Yes. We will make sure that we get a. audio. Audio shouldn't be an issue. We'll get it recorded and that way we can hopefully put it out on the mashup on the mashup on the podcast so people can hear. So without further

ado, shall we get to the PK Suba? We're waiting. The next big thing. This is the top story, folks. It's probably the only thing you've been seeing on the internet for the past several days. Yeah. Where

can I just pull up the 18? Pick any random place to start. Well, obviously Tews is talking about what's been going on over in the Middle East. To be clear, I'm talking about what's been going on over in the Middle East this weekend. Correct. Which isn't the same as what's been going, well, it is the same actually as what's been going on in the Middle East for the past 2,000 years. But for some reason, it's now more noteworthy. Okay, so here, let's start with the McRib. This is off Twitter. It says the Mick Rib only comes back before a tragic world event, take precautions, heed my warning.

And the guy said, damn, this dude was on the ball. Yeah, this dude said this four days ago, okay? So that was one. Then you have what got a ton of Canadians wound up. This blew up everywhere, and it was Fred Han, and we all remember that creepy mug of his talking about pride this and pride that and smiling. Well, he liked Coup local third. 3906, Palestine is rising, long-lived of resistance. Everything in the world can be robbed and stolen except one thing.

This one thing is love that emanates from a human being towards a solid commitment to conviction or cause. And then it was a picture of them destroying the fence. And so that was... It got darker, though, with what Coupie had to say and Fred Hahn liking them and everything else. here you've got specific orders going out to their journalists

saying to not use the word terrorist despite the fact go to the next one this one that's not that one go down to H H for Hamas

there is Canada's list of approved terrorists right there in the middle Hamas So they These guys are literally terrorists But CBC is saying Don't say that they're terrorists

So it says Not refer to Palestinian terrorists As terrorists Okay That's what that's what supposedly A leaked email said And then if you go to You know a federal website

Where they list off This is the Canadian government And you need to believe everything they tell you Here you go There you go Hamas And then it goes on to explain Everything about them

So you can't make this stuff up, folks. It's just the way it is. Okay. Then you have how Canada gets involved, you know, the conservatives calling out the liberals because Canadians can't get into. They weren't calling out the liberals. They were just saying, can somebody please start answering the fucking phone at the embassy in Tel Aviv?

Because the embassy was shut down for Thanksgiving. And then World War 2.5 breaks out on the Gaza Strip. And these motherfuckers are like, guys, do you have any idea how much I paid for this fucking turkey? I'm going to eat it. Figure your shit out. Try and get raped and murdered on a fucking business day. So, here. I mean, I haven't laughed about this topic at all until Tuesday comes on and just.

But literally the MNC of Canada to Israel. Happy Thanksgiving. Please note the MNC will be closed on Monday, October 9th. You're like, that's probably, somebody probably should lose their journey. Like, please remove that from Twitter, like immediately. Because it just keeps going on. And here's- Former Israeli ambassador, Vivian Berkovici, I think,

was saying that she was handling all this stuff. And then, because her phone was blowing up, because people were stranded there and presumably people have her phone number. And then, yeah, so then you've got foreign policy Canada trying to do damage control about the fact that the embassy's closed on the long weekend because God forbid any of the public servants in Canada could ever fucking step up and do more than the bare fucking minimum.

Okay. And then you've got all these emails and notes and posts coming in from people who are like, hey, we're trapped and everything's fucking getting bombed all around us. Can somebody please help us land up a fucking flight for fuck sakes? Somebody asked me, somebody asked me like a day after we did the no swearing, to mashup if there was going to be swearing this week. I forgot to even talk to us about it, but I think we get where this is going.

Carrying on. Here's a picture of Stephen Harper who personally flew to Beirut, pick up endangered and people who were trapped back in 2006. Yeah, back when, you know, you still had some people who actually gave a crap about any of this stuff. And I like that says, flash forward to 2023 where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hasn't been available for questions since Saturday and the embassy is closed.

I thought that was a real nice touch. Then you got... Okay, everybody... Everybody's got to wear the ribbon. Okay? And the only thing crazier about this was how united every single person seemed to be and saying like,

you need to not only just, you know, have whatever thoughts you want and whatever else, but you need to vocally support this and you need to publicly condemn that and whatever else. Like, if your Twitter post isn't worded exactly strongly enough, then obviously you're a terrorist. Guys, guys, guys, let's chill the fuck out. Go for a fucking smoke.

And then even the Senate of Canada, they're half-masting, which I'm pretty sure means something else. Okay? Here's more with the flag, Israel. Okay? And then I feel like you missed a couple in there. And then this is the last one I got.

Okay. All right. Well, there was, see, the problem is is that there's so damn many of these. okay So Like I literally ambassador The Israeli ambassador was saying that Um

Shit maybe I maybe it I didn't put it in there The Israeli ambassador was saying That things are being taken care of And people are on hand to help you out After everybody was saying it's all closed And then they gave a phone number in fucking Ottawa Right

Instead of to the actual embassy of Canada to Israel, which if you look it up right now in Tel Aviv, Yafo opens at 8 a.m. And they've got a 972 instead of the 613 area code that that original post was. And it's funny because

people were like, oh, why are the conservatives saying everything's closed? Look, look, it's open. And you're like, motherfucker, that's a phone line in Ottawa. It's just, you know, if war broke out in Canada tomorrow, this is how ill-prepared we are. We can't even get our

embassy to stay open when an actual war is going on. Imagine if China fucking drops a bunch of troops on the coast of BC and it, it happens to be on a long weekend, we're fucked. Yeah. Like, I mean, yeah. Like, do you drop them in the middle of farming country? I think there'll be something to be said. You dropped them in BC.

You dropped them on the coast of Vancouver. They'll probably just welcome them on in. Come on in, boys. Come on in. It's a long weekend. Eileen just said, so do we have to replace all our Ukraine flags now? Eileen, who I've met very briefly just the other day. And she's a wonderful lady.

I didn't get a chance to talk to her too terribly long. But this is exactly it. I've been waiting. Like, what's going to be the next big thing? First of all, we had COVID. And then everybody switched around. And suddenly it was Ukraine after the monkey pox didn't really take hold. And then now, you know, you've got Vladimir Zelensky trying to be like,

oh, yeah, it's the Russians. The Russians are behind all this. stuff in Israel. Guys, guys, don't forget, I'm still here. I'm still here. Don't you guys think I'm important? I still want money. And so this, I don't understand why suddenly this stuff that's been happening for literally

ever in the Middle East, all of a sudden has now blown up. This, this isn't new. Terrorist attacks in the Middle East, not exactly a novel experience, right? And obviously, they're shitty and obviously the terrorists are bad people. but why is it all of a sudden that everybody in the world thinks that this is so fucking important I don't really get it

why not talk about Yemen Yemen's been a disaster and it's right around the corner from this shit It's an interesting question because anytime you feel like you're being directed to something you know the question is obvious so what are they taking

what are they taking our focus off of so somebody I've had different people reaching out about you know like you know this and that about the middle of the moment I'm like I'm like I've taken courses on the Middle East. Dude, the Middle East is a fucking

quagmire. I've done a couple of deep dives into it and I feel like I know absolutely nothing. But that's what I mean to is, like, you don't come to the Tuesday mashup to tell you exactly what's going on in the Middle East. Like, I've had Luongo and Criner on how many times

to talk about Russia or Ukraine. And even at the end of that, you're kind of like, man, I think I kind of get it. But I mean, like it's on the other end of the world, I got no clue. And that's like two countries. I mean, obviously NATO and everything, that's where it gets all of these confusing things. But you're talking the Middle East. I've taken courses on this, like university courses.

Yeah, but you took from American schools. It's true. So I just come back to it's like, I don't know. I stare back. Me and Tuesday just did our preamble that for the first time I was going to get released on substack as long as it doesn't screw me over. And I'm really focused on things that are going to really impact. Can you imagine November Tony.

8th comes or whatever day it is in the future and yes I'm sliding this into the combo and we don't even get to talk about any of this where you can't find us just ashen up the Middle East which is like I'm laughing about it's the first time I laughed about it because I go online and it's like this is horrendous you're seeing dead people carted off everywhere and I'm like I'm just I can't right now there's big things going on in Canada that we got to keep our focus on and every time I feel like I'm being pulled this way it's like where are you pulling us away from.

Yeah. It's fucking suspicious. It doesn't mean. Anybody who says they've got any easy answers about this, and I, to be clear, again, the terrorists are bad, okay? But you can't call them a terrorist, though, too. But people are trying to have a different discussion. And we can tell them terrorists.

Yeah, which they are. The terrorists are terrorists. Right? I agree. I agree. Okay, just real quick. I just want to touch on this. We're on vacation.

Can't miss you guys. L.O.L. Okay. Morgan Anderson is on vacation in fucking Mexico. And she's stepping away from the Tiki Bar and the unlimited Pena Coladas with little umbrellas and the snorkeling with sea turtles and the deep sea fishing. and the unlimited booze at all-night raves. Let's be clear. They're not stepping away from the booze.

They're probably sitting there in the tiki bar and somehow convinced somebody to put it up on a TV. And they're like, just throw this on. And there's probably a group of can- I assume they're just watching it on their phone in their room. Oh, you could do that too. Okay. But anyways, the point is, is how cool is that

that somebody just wants to take time away from their fucking vacation to watch this? Thank you. Absolutely. I agree. 100% that's who we got. That's who's going to be showing up. Can you imagine the group of people that are going to show up in Lumsden? And especially when I walk in with like I support A to Z cards, like I feel like probably

won't have a show. It should be interesting. But it'll be a fun little group there, I'm sure. Oh, yeah. The economics of Candace Health Care Waiting List Program. Okay. Last December, 67-year-old Charlene Snow waited in the emergency department in a Nova Scotian of Scotia Hospital for seven hours before she gave up and went home without seeing a doctor.

Less than an hour later, she was dead. While a tragedy on its own, Snow's case is all the more horrifying because the circumstances which led to her death are playing out across the nation with increasing frequency. The problem is coded by hospital emergency departments as LWBS, patients who leave without being seen. Data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information shows that 184,000 change, people want to to the air for help in 2003, 2004, and then left without medical attention aside from the initial nurse interview, okay? 184,000. In the most recent data available, they report there were more than 14 million hospital visits in 2022 and a whopping 963,000 people and change who simply

left before receiving care. That means the number of patients leaving without getting any care is five times the number recorded in 2003. That means that one in 14... It's almost 7%. One in 14 patients left without... Well, one in 15. Sure. Right? Because you've got 14 plus the 1 million.

Okay. And I just want to throw out... So that was a CTV news article. Here's True North. True North had said the report from QP's Ontario Council of Hospital Unions found that 11,000 Ontario... Ontarians died last year while waiting on lists for surgery, CT scans, and MRIs over the course of 2022.

Currently, there are over 200,000 Ontario still on the province's surgical waiting list. That's just Ontario. So whether they're dying from not getting into see people or whether they're dying because they can't get a CT scan, an MRI, a surgery. Well, we've seen that play out here even in Alberta for different reasons. and Sheila Annette Lewis comes to mind, honestly. That's what came to mind there. Yeah, yeah, that's a very good example. But at what point do we stop calling it our healthcare system

and start calling it our waiting list? Not universal health care, universal waiting list. I know somebody who a couple years ago went to the hospital in the afternoon, got sick of waiting, went back the next day, And he was still in line. It was, he didn't even miss anything. I was sick of the dad. Dad got shoulder surgery and I forget what it was.

And he'll text me after he listens to this and tell me exactly what it was. But it was like year plus of like just sitting there in pain and everybody, you could leave the country and go get it done. And this isn't anything new. You've always been able to leave the country to go get different medical services, right? but it's getting to the point where you're better off just leaving to get medical services because it's wild. It's like wild. Now you're starting to see practices trying to do this value plus sort of thing where if you pay

100, 150 bucks, you're guaranteed to get in within a certain window, right? And you got people like the NDP saying, no, this needs to fucking stop. They're like, why? So they can just die with the rest of us? Like everybody needs to get the same health care. We're not getting health care. Yeah, but we all get the same level. This is socialism.

This is communism. This is fucking bullshit. Imagine if they did this with food. Oh, wait. They're trying to do it with food. Clean energy, dirty money. I was thinking that might be a great shirt if it isn't already. Clean energy, dirty money.

Yes. Somebody write that down. I am right. I did write it down. It's on a list of things. I tell you what, if you come to Lumsden, Bradwell, Irma, you might see a couple of Tuesday mash-up shirts. I'm just saying. Ottawa has been suspended, Ottawa has suspended its main federal funding agency for early stage green technology from granting money

after a lengthy investigation uncovered evidence of conflict of interest. Can you imagine that? Breaches and lacks governance involving the organization's chief, executive, and board members. Okay? Color me shocked. Sustainable Development Technologies Canada, CDTC is in the middle of a five-year agreement with the federal government to distribute $1 billion

to small and medium businesses in the clean tech sector. So the first one was the Globe and Mail. Now it's the CBC, okay, talking about it. The decision to stop the... And if the CDC is talking about it, it's pretty fucking bad. It's pretty bad. The decision to stop the organization from approving new funding was announced on Tuesday by innovation minister Francois Philip Champagne.

Perfect name for a liberal. I agree. The move came after, I literally thought that was, like I read in the article, I'm like, imagine, that's, I mean, you can't script this any better. The move came after the group of whistleborers brought complaints against the CTC to the government earlier this year over concerns that the foundations management and funding in human resources. Okay. They hired somebody that came in, 38, it said in their report just released by the government,

investigators raised questions about the CDTC's decision to distribute 38 million in emergency relief payments in 2020 and 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic to the company with which it had previous funding agreements. It goes on and on and on. Then there's another Globe and Mail article. It said since 2017, G.C. Strategies has received 46 million in federal funding. and over the past 10 years, Kordex and Dallion, these are tech companies, folks, which share the same office and often operate as a joint venture, have received a combined 362 million. The flow of tax dollars to the three companies combined has increased steadily each year growing from 32.6 million in 2016-17 to 80.3 million in 2021-2020.

I'm talking about two different stories here. One is this green technology and there's shady stuff going on there. The other was the Arrived Can app and the tech companies that were involved there. And I got, here, I'll pull this up here. Well, remember you go back, I don't know, 72, 73 mashups ago, we were talking about how the Arrivedcan app had just blown up and cost and how we were absolutely flabbergasted as to how in the actual fuck, it could possibly cost as much money as it did.

Correct. Well, here's what the people are seeing on the screen is federal expenditure on contracts for work on the Arrived Can app, okay? So the contract value is in purple. The blue is spent value. So GC's strategies were awarded $35 million, spent value with 11.2. Amazon Web Services, $5 million, spent 4.7. Dallion Cordyx, 10.9, 4.3, 16 to 2.1, 14.

to 1 and then Microsoft Canada 1.7 to 1.3. You can see that there's something that you're just like, that seems kind of odd, doesn't it? Too's? Isn't it weird that the really simple fixed cost stuff like web hosting and Microsoft Canada, I'm guessing, is

some sort of like structure for the app or something like that? That's the things that oh, the bars are actually fairly close. But now you get into the wiggle room. Oh, you know what? We could probably just have some fun with these numbers and everybody gets rich.

Here's another one. Government spending on Cordyx, Dallion, and GC strategies from 2013 onwards. Look at how big those get. Yeah. Isn't it funny when you decide how much money you're going to get paid? The number keeps going up. Take, for example, are members of parliament. Canadian polls are garbage.

I don't know why. Why? Why, oh, why does twos keep making me? do this. Okay. Why do I got to keep talking? This is interesting. This is interesting. Okay. All right. All right. Majority of Albertton. To me, I don't know if it's, I presume it's not interesting to you, but is it interesting to everybody else? Because this is, this is where they try and frame the, the supposed public perception on these things. And then when you actually do a bit of a deep dive into this, it's all a fucking shit house. You, you have, you raise a good point. So what we need to

know is if anyone gives a shit about what the polls say. Because if nobody cares. Then we're going to stop talking about it. Because here's what the polls say. Okay? This is what the article is. A majority of Albertaans think leaving the CPP for a proposed Alberta pension plan is a bad idea. I'm curious what the Tuesday mashap auditing thinks, because maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe that is what they think. I don't know. According to polling done after the province released a report in favor of the move. Okay. So here's how they're framing it. Alberta government says this is a positive thing, this is what people want, and they're saying we did a poll, and that isn't what Alberta wants. So it says, Abacus data surveyed 1,885 Canadians, including 500 Albertans. What the heck do Albertans care what BC thinks, what Saskatchewan thinks, what any of Canada thinks?

This is an Alberta issue. This isn't a Canadian issue. Canada doesn't get to vote on this referendum on what's going on, just saying. So it says, abacus data surveyed 1,900 people, okay? 1, 1988 Canadians, including 500. Wow, Albertans, 500, Albertans. Between September and 28th, October 5th, to ask about awareness of the proposal. Nationwide, 44% of the response thought it was a bad or very bad idea.

In Wild Rose Country, which is Alberta, 52% of those polled were against it. 17% of Canadians said it was a good or very good idea, with 19% of Albertans sharing that same sentiment. Okay, here's the two questions that were asked, okay? How closely, if at all, have you been following news and information about the, about the Alberta government's plan to withdraw Alberta from the Canada pension plan and establish a separate public pension plan for Alberta, which technically isn't true. They're going to have a referendum.

They don't have a plan to. They have a plan to have a referendum, okay? Correct. And the second thing, here's where it gets fucking gross, is based on what you've heard about the plan to withdraw Alberta from the Canada pension plan, do you think this is a good idea or a bad idea? A good idea for

who? Okay? Because they ask people BC, Alberta, South Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada. This is why I don't care about polls. But Sandy's saying polls are important because most people are lemmings. Maybe. But I mean, the poll is structured away as

who's telling you that it basically is forcing, well, I got to kind of, you know, I'm going to Like I tried doing this survey that the Alberta government put out about social studies class. And by the end of it, I was so frustrated, I just stopped. I'm just like, I screwed. What the heck am I doing here? So is it a good thing or a bad thing, right?

Okay. And then they look Atlantic Canada. Is it a good idea or a bad idea for Alberta to withdraw? Okay. Well, is it a good idea for Alberta or is it a good idea for us, right? Like it's, if you live in Atlantic Canada, it is a very bad thing for Alberta to withdraw, right? So you're going to say it's bad. Colin Anderson for the win.

Canadian polls aren't a serious party. Thank you. Yes. All right. Okay. But here's like this is, this is where it's ambiguous. And when you don't know how to answer a question, that's when the ambiguity goes up, despite the fact that they said it was within 2.2% 19 times out of 20.

and I can promise you that there is no fucking way that that is correct because of how ambiguously this is worded. Yeah, well, that's what I mean. So, I mean, I don't know. I sit here and I see it. I read the article. I'm just like, so they, on an Alberta issue, they pulled the entire country and a whole bunch of people don't know about it.

It's like, this is an Alberta issue. Like, I just, we can't be this stupid. Like, it can't because here's the thing. Is it set up to be purposely, purposely ambiguous, right? And so you're going to get this shit number where people like, if someone's not really sure what you're asking, they're not going to say,

yes, I'm for that, right? Like, hey, Sean, do you want to yes or no? You don't know what I just asked, so you're going to say, no, this is what this poll is relying on. I guess, I guess. Jamie Ingram's saying, just like voting, we should all take part in polling,

The more people will participate, the better the results. You think that's true? Possibly. Can we, can we, can, can me and two start putting on polls so that you can actually have something that, that's framed possibly in a way that I think could be beneficial? Would it be interesting if we did some actual polling, like, like did a legitimate job of doing stuff like this, but where you could get accurate results? Now, granted, we'd have to just ask the listeners and they could go to a link or something,

something like that. So it would be a very biased selection pool. But that's what they're built on. That's what they're built on. In fairness, don't quote me on this. So if you were listening on Spotify tomorrow morning, I think I can put up a question where it's like a poll.

No, you don't want one question. One question's garbage. Two questions is garbage. You've got to have stacked flower pots. These people don't even know how to put these fucking pool together. They could be listening to it on Spotify. Open their phone up and be like, holy crap, I can just actually vote right here. Boom. I think CPP or APP now, right? Alberta Pension Plan is a good idea.

Boom. Yes. No. That's a bad question, though. That's what I'm saying. I understand. I'll let you make the question. I'm just saying we could actually have interaction tomorrow morning with the audience. Anybody listening to me here? Am I talking to myself? Am I talking to myself? You're getting into this. And you're saying,

oh, I hate going over this stuff. I hate talking about polls. I hate getting in the granularity. You just asked. And you're just all riles up. You just asked if we could literally do a poll. I'm like, sure, we can. We could probably do a poll. Actually, the more I think about it, we could do it on Spotify. How are we getting derailed here?

Oh, my goodness. Poles. Ugh. Unintended consequences of emergency. Ah. An ex-Omish man on TikTok has shared that a few current members of the Amish were shunned after the U.S. emergency alert went off on a phones they had smuggled into their community. In most, if not all, Amish communities across the United States, its members cannot have

modern technology like cars, computers, and cell phones. One guy quoted, one guy said the elders were coming in his driveway, and they were there to speak with him about something they had heard about him, that he might have to get shunned. Right as that was going on, the alert went off, and it was in his pocket. Yoder explained, you know he's getting shunned. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, Jenkins, we need to talk to you about the fact that you appeared to have been using a tractor the other day. And you know that they're evil. Satan makes tractors. Well, actually, if you, the green yellow bastards, Satan does make tractors. But yeah, so they go to talk to him about some other thing. And then all of a sudden his cell phone goes off. That's basically the, probably the most evil thing you could do as an Amish person.

Like, the only thing worse would be if you had a tattoo of a cell phone, maybe. and so yeah like just just imagine these quaint Amish people with their with their bonnets you know over the women and the the funky top hats and they're all everything's everything's from 1864 and then all of a sudden bring bring bring what's that well i have no idea brother jacob that that must be a new bird outside those barking spiders sure do son fanny this time of year You know, going back to this dang polling thing, because everybody's commenting on it, first off, you could pull polls out, this is Colin Anderson, he says, you can put polls out you want, but it'd be lopsided only same people listening to Jens. And he is right. It would be lopsided to the way we think, because if you're still listening at this point, you're not easily offended because he certainly tries.

To offend people? I just try to be honest. But by being honest, you're basically being offensive. I enjoy it. I think a lot of people do. Honesty is kind of lacking in the world, isn't it? I would say. Okay.

So I'm just saying if you're easily offended, you're probably not here anymore. No? Yep. Yeah. Most polls that I know of are paid, and they will shut you down if you don't follow the narrative. I've experienced it myself. That's Morgan Anderson. Yeah.

And I would say, you remember, you remember this was a CTV put up polls? and then people would share it around and you go vote and it'd be like, should Mass come back? And it'd be like 90% and then they just kind of sluff it off. Yeah, all of a sudden that bull's gone. All of a sudden, we didn't get the results. We only had a couple thousand people. They'd almost walk on the landmine themselves, right?

Well, how many do you get? 150s. You got a couple thousand? What did they say? Yeah, it was those extreme right group they came in. And yeah, they just all. They were waving swastikers. around when you're like, these fucking polls, what a waste of time we have in society.

Okay, let's talk about another waste of time, shall we? Become prime minister, see the world. Okay, here we go. Just one day after the government caught heat for not revealing the full cost of the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Easter vacation. By a factor of like 10, by the way. Please continue. Newly released documents put the cost of protection during his summer vacation in Tafino,

BC at $287,000. $287,000. You could buy Vancouver Island for $287. I mean, obviously not. Obviously not, but yeah. The RC&P billing $287,000, $280,000 or whatever, $287,000 change and policing costs for August to 10th. So for eight days, vacation, it was $287,000. Yeah, so you're looking at about, I don't know, $84,000.

a day or sorry $44,000 a day something like that I'm totally blanking because I'm thinking about six different numbers right now a quarter million

over eight days 34,000 35,800 okay that's what it was per day that's that's pretty good that's that's

the Trudeau's here's here's Tarasano Franco okay yeah the Trudeau's free vacations this year. They had New years in Jamaica, skiing in Montana, and the August

Tefino trip have cost taxpayers around $678,000. Okay. He's got the government paid cabin that they spent a bazillion fucking dollars renovated. Let's say worst case scenario. There's no fucking fish in that lake.

And you're like, well, you know what? I don't really want a vacation there because there's no fucking fish. Right? $287,000, you could stock it with fucking whales, right? Like you could just be like, look, I'm fucking prime minister. I'm not going to go to Aruba. I'm not going to go to Chief Mountain and go skiing straight down the side of it as much as we want them to. I'm not going to go surfing. Just give me some fucking fish to catch.

And you'll never have to, I'll never have to bother you. I'm not going to need any extra security. You could just have one guy with a speedboat ready. But the engine better be off because don't scare the fucking fish. And if there's none to catch, you just tell them to throw more in the lake. Oh, oh, we spent $23,000 stocking the lake that the Prime Minister fish is at. That's a pretty small price to pay compared to $687,000 a fucking year that isn't even over yet. Because you know he's going to go somewhere for fucking Christmas.

We like to say people kind, not necessarily mankind. It's more inclusive. There we go. Exactly. Yes, thank you. And the budget will balance itself. Man, you are one pathetic loser. No offense.

No offense. And if I'm eating the fish that I catch, I don't have to charge $12,000 a fucking month for fucking groceries. And I know that we talked about this before, but how the hell are you spending $12,000 a month on groceries when you're never at fucking home? You know, it's like Tuesday's this side. one week with three swears folks he was he was gonna let it out this week I

would hate to have been playing a drinking game listening to you this week I tell you what I wouldn't have been able to keep up did did did it anyways I energy drinks I tell you what Trudeau brings it out in him I can't can't reel him in this week folks he had one week where where we tried to pull him in probably not checkmate groomers well there's two things here first We were at James Lindsay, what was it, Wednesday night? Tuesday night. Why am I forgetting this?

Tuesday night because we recorded a Tuesday night. Tuesday night in Calgary. Of course, I think we talked about hearing her on this enough times with, you know, the events being shut down, Eventbright, pulling the tickets, all these different things. And then you go, what's going to happen in Calgary? Well, they find a spot. The Muslim community steps up, gives them the spot. Yep.

Then they come and they got close to a thousand people, sold out barn. Literally standing room only. they're literally hauling more chairs out because there's nowhere for people to sit. It's packed. And so James Lindsay was well received in Calgary and by sounds of it, Eminton as well. So, I mean, there's one from the week. The next is there was plans for the first open category swimming races to accommodate transgender competitors at a World Cup this weekend have been scrapped because of lack of entries. World Aquatics said Tuesday it had received zero entries, no entries, for the open category.

events scheduled to take place at the World Cup starting Friday in Berlin. So, it absolutely baffles me because here's, there's nobody in there. You get one person that enters that and they get the gold medal. Because let's be really clear about this.

Should we have entered? When you're, when you're, no, no. Twos, we could have been in the open category. We could have swam the slowest. Okay, all right. Maybe I was a little bit too quick to condemn the idea. Right?

Can you imagine? Folks, would you pay to see the Tuesday matchup go compete in the open category over in the world? Where was this at? Where was this? Berlin. Berlin. And it'd be like, uh, you two are going to swim?

Oh, yes. And I show up in my board shorts, not even speed. Oh, man. Tew shows up in like the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, what's the guy I'm thinking of? Why can I spit a boreats? A little swims. Yeah. We get in the pool.

And we get the gold and a silver. I mean, think how awesome it would be for that lifeguard because they always got to have the lifeguards there. And you got Michael Phelps swim and laps. Like, imagine how bored and useless that lifeguard feels. And then he kind of finally just be like, look at these fucking Yahoo's. I might actually get some action for one. I better pay attention here. But the whole idea of these trans athletes competing as women isn't for them to compete against people on their level, right?

Because they have the physical advantage. and if you were interested in pushing yourself as an athlete, you would stay in a division, i.e. dudes, where it was going to be difficult for you to compete in so that you could put your best against other people's best and see where you came out in it. But they just want to go for easy wins. And so here they finally get their own fucking category.

All you got to do is fill out the form and you get a gold medal and they can't even be bothered. It baffles me. Two's in a speedo. Yeah, I agree. Oh, man. Wouldn't that be something, though? You know?

No, I just mean us. The Tuesday mashup shows up to compete in the open division. And they're just like, Oh, we could get like, you know, we could get Chuck to come along. We'd have gold, silver bronze. Right. And I mean, how much fun would that be to stand there

and have the Canadian National Anthem sang while Toos gets a bronze. Calling a spade a spade illegal. Switzerland on Monday French Swiss Pullmist pulmusist alien Alon Bona I don't know who goes by who goes by Alain Sarel like why you put that in this article was sentenced to like oh my God was sentenced by the Lucan court for the crime of defamation discrimination and incitement of to hatred after he criticized Catherine McArell a journalist for Swiss newspapers Tribune de Geneva and

and 24-hour hooray in a Facebook video two years ago. This court decision is an important moment for justice and rights of the LGBTQI. She didn't even get all the letters in their people. In Switzerland, said Muriel Wagger, co-director of a lesbian activist group, the conviction of Alan Sorrell is a strong signal that homophobic hatred cannot be tolerated in her society. In addition to prison time, Sorrel was subsequently in order to pay illegal fees and fines totaling thousands of Swiss francs. Sorrel's sentencing came after he called Maccarell a fat lesbian.

criticized her work as a queer activist and said she was unhinged in a social media video according to Swiss public broadcaster RTS. So, from what I understand, she is a lesbian and she is a high-calorie human. So what the fuck is the problem? High-calorie human. She puts on a red dress and she looks like a Jerry can you left out in the sun. what is wrong with saying it how it is? Did you think of that on the spot?

Or did you read that day? Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me I'm wrong. It was a joke I wrote for this upcoming comedy special with with Quick Dick McDick. So you guys got a sneak preview. A Jerry can left in the sun, folks. Oh, boy, oh boy, oh boy, you know. This may be the best article we've read in like a week.

Going back to, no, like going back to the goat story. a woman in California. Yes, I remember her go to be butchered. And so then she stole the goat and like this, and then they butchered the goat and ate the goat. You're like, how is this happening? And this is this a true story. This one's good too.

Federal authorities have arrested a 77 year old man. Wait, wait, wait, retirement can be hard. Let's start with the headline, okay? Retirement can be hard. It's a federal. Federal authorities have arrested a 77 year old man for allegedly buying more than $1,800 in erectile dysfunction drugs,

without a prescription and intending to sell them to the massive central Florida retirement community, the villages and elsewhere. The man was arrested last month in the villages where he lives alongside nearly 80,000 full-time residents. And if he's convicted, he faces up to a year in federal prison and a fine of up to 10 grand. The man just wants to get laid at 77,000 years. No, he just wanted to be battling him around. Well, that too.

Oh, hey, that chick's looking at you. Wouldn't it be nice if you could do something about it? I got something. Right? This is like, here's the thing is inflation's getting out of control and people thought they had enough to live on for the rest of their lives. And it's rapidly becoming not the case.

And so this guy, entrepreneur spirit, he's just going to take some stuff and he's going to upsell it. Okay? And it's not like you're going to get hooked on it. It's not like it's math, right? Where you're just going to be like,

hey, man, I need to smoke some more Viagra. And you're going to be living in a fucking tent city in six months. no no these it's just so old people can go around banging each other at retirement home can you imagine

this is probably the most harmless fucking thing you could ever imagine you mean the federal agent that buses it's like man like you know you know back in the day the cops would show up and you'd have a case of beer

and they'd be like you get the one cop who's the asshole pour it all out on your right yet ticket yeah but also there's that one guy in the group who tries to drink it all before the cops actually show up. Now imagine that happens

and he's just walking around knocking things off tables for the next fucking week. Did you just eat $1,800 worth of Viagra? Maybe. It'd be like that episode, like at the start of Super Troopers where they get him to eat all the mushrooms

and the weed and everything in the back of the car. Snosberries taste like schnauzberries, man. He can't pull over any farther. I just can't imagine being a cop and busting a 77-year-old. For $2,000 worth of erectile dysfunction medicine. Like, I mean, at some point you got to go. I'm sorry.

I thought this was America. Like, seriously, they're, like, oh, you can't eat these blue pills anymore? Like, you're basically, that's, that's like the retirement equivalent of taking away. way your Second Amendment writes. Pretty much. Oh, that's a great story. Historic week for political criminals. So, okay, you got two people here.

Yeah, he's going to end up doing hard time, I imagine. Those are some hard charges. Well, hopefully he can beat it. Oh, man. Oh, goodness. You know, you get all these crazy things in here. And at some point, you just need a good laugh. And I forgot about this text, this tweet, going back to the Trudeau vacations.

Trudeau was like an expensive RV. It sits around all year doing sweet fuck all. Then it goes on holidays. That was pretty beautiful. That was good. That was good. Yeah. Oh, man.

Okay. Here, let's try and get, let's try and get us caught up here. Okay. So we got, we got a couple of people in government getting promotions. So you got, you got Greg Fergus, is the new speaker. in the House of Commons. You may recall this name. You just may from the Tuesday Mashroom. It was kind of like this article once I started reading. I'm like, oh, I remember this. This is going back to Fergus was not found to have violated the act by writing a letter

of support for a television. Was found to have. Sorry, was, not wasn't. Was found to have violated the act by writing a letter of support for a television channel's application to the CRTC for mandatory carriage. And under parliamentary rules, MPs can write letters of support to the CRTC in support of an application, but parliamentary, secretaries, and cabinet ministers cannot. So he was found in violation of that back in February of this year. Of course, now he is your new House Speaker, a new Speaker in the House of Commons. And then the second one is, well, we, I don't know if you paid attention, but in Manitoba, they voted in an NDP government, which means Wob Canoe.

It's basically Winnipeg voted in an NDP government. Wob Canoe is now the new Premier of Manitoba. So, yeah, that guy's fucking close to water. So then you go, you go back and forth. He's got a bunch of different things in his past. He's, I think, too, somebody from Manitoba clear this up for me. I feel like he's been really open about this, but in saying that, maybe not. Here's a couple of things.

Court records showed back in June 2003, Canoe was charged with two counts of assault on Hart. And Crown Attorney and Cano's lawyer appeared in court several times between January and in June in 2004 at some point in the summer the crown stayed the charges and then 2015 the indigenous activist broadcaster and author wrote a memoir a year earlier in which he described a decade old run-ins with the law that included convictions for impaired driving and assaulting a taxi driver he recently reviewed received pardons for both convictions so that's kind of a week in politics here you

got a new house speaker who had broke at or had ethics violations and now a new premier with some stuff in his past that well I don't know I'm I can't speak for Anatovans maybe they're excited maybe they're like what the hell just happened I mean they're all fucking criminals at every level so it's not like it's any different it's but I mean at the same time like everybody on the left has been touting oh it's it's been such a historic thing for minorities look we've got a

minority house speaker and we've got a minority premier and you're like yeah, but they're all fucking criminals. Right? It, like, here's, it begs the question, which is to, this is going to be silly. I'm going to put it in a silly way. But every single black house of common speaker we've had has been a criminal.

Right. And all of our, all of our premiers, all of our Aboriginal premiers are criminals, right? Because if you want to make everything about race, that's the logical next. step. Maybe we could just look at the people for what they are instead of trying to throw race in everything because it ends up going in a bad direction. I'll say this. I don't care about the race part of this thing. That's the whole point. I haven't found too many elected officials that don't have some things in their past. Now, in saying that, our MLAs here in Lloyd Midster, I've never heard anything bad that way.

As far as Daniel Smith goes, I think everybody knows her floor crossing days. Me and twos have definitely talked about that, but as far as anything else goes, I don't think there's anything shady there, twos. I wonder, but it's not anything we're ever going to know about definitively. I feel like Scott Moe has a, is it a DUI? He killed a guy, so there's that.

And so there's a couple things there, right? I mean, as far as Trudeau goes, we just keep the laundry list going here. of all the stupid things he continues to do. And, yeah, I mean, whether it was race motivated, which I think in this country being inclusive and equitable and all these different terms, it seems like that seems to be a thing there.

But when it comes to Manitoba, I have no freaking clue. I have no clue. When it comes to the liberal government, I know exactly what they were thinking when they put them in there. Like, I mean, we don't have to be rocket scientists. Well, because he's a visible minority And people are going to say he's a criminal Right?

And they're going to say, oh, well, you're being racist And they're it's bait. This whole thing was bait. It was like and and how how much self-respect You can you possibly have? I get the fact that if you're shilling for the liberals at this point, you don't have any. But seriously,

to know that you're just being put up there Because you are a visible minority who has been convicted of the Conflict of Interest Act and you're hoping that Pierre Pollyev jumps on it so that Trudeau can call him a racist. That's the only reason why you're sitting in that fucking chair. Yeah, I don't think he's worried about it. I don't think

and I don't even know if he he... Isn't it amazing what hundreds of thousands of dollars a year will make you gloss over? I don't even look at it that way. To me, I'm like, if I was in that guy's position, I wouldn't be acting like I wouldn't, I guess

I wouldn't be like I don't deserve this or anything like that. I would be like I hit the right places at the right time and I got to where I'm at. No? Am I wrong on that? How can you possibly think that you're there as anything but a token when all the liberals are about is tokenism? All politics is is tokenism, too. So whether it's a woman or some sort of guy who has a story in his past, or whatever else.

It's all politics is. Fucking Pierre Pullev is playing on the family man right now. That's all it is. It's trying to get me and you to pull and push in their direction for whatever they want. I don't have to stare at it. Like, to me, the guy used his skills and what he has at his advantage, and that's all politics is. That's something with a lot of life is at. You know, like, I'm a family guy.

I talk about my family a lot. So I use what I have. Sadly, I can't, you know, like if I was a woman, and I don't mean this in the wrong way, I just mean when I first started the podcast and I went up to, what is it, Startup Canada, they literally told me if I was a woman, I would be getting funding, but I'm not.

And I'm like, well, that sucks. Now I can either go whimper back in the corner that I didn't, oh, gee, sucks. We definitely need to do that swimming competition now. I could identify as one. That's what I should have said. I could identify as one if you'd like, but back then it wasn't nearly as prominent as it is today.

But I mean, like, I don't know. I'm mad at the government. Just the government as a whole. It's just, fuck, drives me guy nuts. Okay. Liberals breaking ranks instead of rules. Conservative leader Pierre Poliavlides unsuccessful attempt to call on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

to repeal his carbon pricing. System has secured the support of the only one Liberal MP. On Wednesday, Liberal MP for Avalon, Newfoundland, Ken McDonald was the only member of his caucus to vote in favor of a non-binding motion from the official opposition. And he got a standing ovation when he did it. Does it matter? We gave 12 to Zelensky and we gave one to an actual Nazi. No, but actually, that's, that's very fair.

Are we going to say that, because they give him a standing O and then they stand. It's like the same fucking people. Yep, you're. that's you got me there you absolutely got me there okay so here I just want to say that it's really nice that we're finally getting to a point

where the individual members of parliament are more worried about keeping their fucking jobs than they are about towing the Ottawa line it'd be nice if the conservatives felt like that too but the liberals are starting to act like that and it's good news you think we go all the way to 2025 before an election two's

Yeah, because the NDP are never going to have as much power as they have right now, ever. Yeah, man, I'd really, really like to see an election called, you know? Yes. But it's cute that you think they still matter, but yes. That's a fair point, you know? Yeah, that's a fair point. Canadians or Canada's Navy stands on the dock for the... This was a, you know, I was thinking this as I've read this article.

We read a ton of articles every single week, right? Anywhere between, I mean, smallest week, maybe 15. I don't even know if it's at. It's probably 20. Probably 20 on a small week. And upwards of 50? 40. Yeah, yeah, you could say that.

Somewhere in that much. This article was confusing. This article was not well written. No. I understand what it was trying to say, but it was long. It was confusing. it was not well written. So here we go. This is what Sean pulled from it and when it's confusing, or maybe I did a good job summarizing. I don't know, we'll see.

15 warships that are set to be built in Halifax, but which are already years behind schedule and are massively over budget. Over time, the Navy has asked for changes that have frequently replaced Canadian built content with U.S. technology, the net effect being the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars to Canadian industry and an increase in overall cost. As one source put it, any naval architect will tell you that once you, you change more than 15% of a ship, you should design a new one. And we were well past that number. The U.S. paid a fixed price.

Here's another part. U.S. paid a fixed price of about $1.66 billion a ship, using the parliamentary budget office latest estimate, Canada will pay up to $5.6 billion per ship. Okay? 1.66 versus $5.6, okay? The government has just handed Irving shipbuilding and an additional $463 million to adapt the shipyard to build a frigate whose final weight is in the first. words of the DND evolving as the design matures. And finally, the liberal government has now

asked the military to reduce spending by 900 million over the next four years. So they're spending a boatload of money on 15 ships, which they literally cannot, which they literally cannot say what it's going to look like at the end. And they're also asking the military to reduce spending by 900 million over the next four years. So they're paying roughly triple the price that they would pay if they just bought something off the shelf from the states from an American builder. Correct. And they're saying, oh, well, this, you know, it's, it's too bad that things are getting changed and more work is going out of Canada. It doesn't really, I don't really care whether this technology comes from Canada or not. We want things that are going to work,

work well, and last a long time. If that comes from the States or Germany or fucking France, whatever. It doesn't matter. Right. I want to see value. Okay. And if Canadians, if Canadian builders are incapable of creating that value, then they need to either get better or sit this one out. Okay. Now, furthermore, like it's triple, like this isn't $9 versus $3. When you're talking about triple the cost over five warships, you're, and, you know, instead of one and a half, it's like $5.5. and a half. Okay, so call it $4 billion more

over 15 warships. Was it? 15? Yeah, something like that. So $60 billion that we don't need to spend just because we want to promote Canadian industries. Fuck that. If we need to spend $60 billion just to get them up to speed,

we can do that in other ways. For example, by lowering taxes and giving people the freedom to create their own industries. Okay? And then we can buy it somewhere else. It's the same thing with the fucking EVs. Canada doesn't need to be a world leader in EV production.

And if other countries get good at making them, or if other countries are subsidizing the fuck out of them, then our consumers get to buy them for fucking cheaper. Okay? It's just, it's unbelievable bullshit. And this is the next point I was going to make. Thanks, Derek. The Irvine family, Eastern Canada Mafia family.

Maybe. Maybe not. But the simple fact of the matter is, is that they've got the lockdown on all the ship building and all the oil that comes through that whole fucking end of the country. You've got one family that's got way disproportionate sway in things. And the only way that they keep it is because of government lobbying. This is what Mark Norman got fired for not towing the line on.

And then we met up and I got it from her. So this is, this lady's part of the origin story of this podcast. That's pretty cool to us. I didn't know all that. But I mean,
