All right, so I'm just a little flat-footed here right now. It appears that Sean has performed. You're trying to mess with me today, eh? Not under my watch. Well, for anyone who doesn't have, obviously can't see what's going on in the side, Tuesday thought he was being sneaky. He took my sound clip of the Emmington Oilers, Let's Go Oilers, and he put it back in as Let's Go Oilers with a different song.

And obviously, I caught it, and I didn't tell him anything. right he's gonna be clever see because he was supposed to come in and be all like ooh I like the oilers so much that he hits the button and then and then it doesn't you know and then it didn't and then it was just the regular let's and I was like that son of a bitch you know it too oh boy that's like two and a half minutes by the way

if we want to change up the uh the intro the intro welcome to mashup 105 where two's almost gets me, but he doesn't. Almost, almost. How's everybody doing this morning? How's Tuesday this morning? He's a little frustrated. Oh, it was just so clever

and I'd never done anything like it and I've just been waiting and all of a sudden out of nowhere that twos is flustered. How's Sean? I'm doing well. Yeah, I got no complaints. Obviously, we had the Cornerstorm forum

this past Saturday. I was just about to ask. And I've been talking about it all week on the podcast. It was a lot of fun. It took a lot out of me. I'm literally just getting my voice back, I feel like. And certainly going to an Oilers game with Alex Craneer, one of the speakers, and giving him his first taste of the NHL. What a treat that was. I lost it all over again, being there. And no, I was, I'm doing great this morning. I tell you, we're going to bring up the Coots to 811 days. They've been now in remand. So I mean, there's that. That's Christopher

Carbert and Anthony Olnick. I think that's something to point out all over again. I got a happy Airborne Friday to Jamie Sinclair, wherever his travels are taking him. And then a thank you to anyone who made their journey to Lloyd Minster this past weekend. We had people as far as New Jersey, Arizona, Virginia, and then in Canada, people flew in from Vancouver, drove from Winnipeg, flew in from Toronto.

So you kind of get a feel. Drove from Ontario. 28 hours, yeah. That was probably the longest drive. Virginia. Yeah. There was. It was quite the eclectic group of people who descended upon Lloydminster to a sellout, I might add.

It was a sellout to event in Lloydminster. And yeah, it was great. You were there, too, what did you think? I thought it was wonderful. I quite enjoyed it. I thought it was interesting that Western separation just comes up in an offhanded thing. And I tend to think that I'm a bit of an outlier in terms of that. But there was a resounding applause.

when people were talking about how broken Canada is and how maybe we'd be better if we weren't part of it anymore. So that was good. We got, what is this about Sean? So Matt DeJohn, John, I think what needs to be talked about is that Sean was on TV

and didn't do the double barrel by Harley. So years ago, Harley went, this is a short little intro story here, folks. Years ago, Harley, one of my brothers went to and one of his game at home opener. and gave the old the double barrel, the double finger behind and got escorted out of the building.

And I know he doesn't love me telling that story, but we've joked with him since. Why was he? Who's he flipping off? Nobody was having fun. And was this on the Jumbotron or something? It was as they were introducing each individual member, right, home opener. So he was literally sitting right behind the bench. Oh, it's not like there were so few people in the audience that they were just introducing both of the fans that came to the game.

not at all and so now his nickname is the bird man uh when we do the brothers roundtables harvard man it should be harvey birdman not harley birdman well there you go attorney law no i did not my phone my phone blew up to's on on that day i'm like man i'm tv famous right now uh the amount of people who texted me who saw me singing the national anthem there you go you were right behind the bench or you no no no on saturday uh sorry saturday uh sorry saturday on wed Wednesday. Well, whatever day you were at the game. Wednesday? No. Where were you that people saw you on TV? Literally in, in Eminton, when they sing the Canadian National Anthem, right? I was on the national television feed.

They were just scanning the crowd. Rogers is a big place. Where were you that you ended up? In the stands. They literally standing and singing. What is it matters to? What the hell are you trying to get asked? Was it like... What are you trying to get at? I'm wondering if you got featured on. You know, however once in a while, they'll just like point this camera at somebody for a little bit.

Did it have your name on the bottom? Like, did somebody recognize you? It was like, you know, when they look at the people in attendance stuff and then does it say Sean Newman? No, they definitely did not do that. They literally scanned the crowd while the national anthem was being sung. And I came across it. I don't know why you're so confused by this. It's like...

Because you do a shit. job of explaining it. This is why you do the interviews and don't answer them. I tell you, mashup 105, starting out with a bang. Tews is somewhere else today. He's just upset because his joke didn't get picked up at the start. I thwarted him, folks. And the Amiton Oilers are moving on, and he's upset about that too. Now, Tews, you wouldn't defend yourself last week. You didn't want to take the L.A. Kings. And let's just, can we get, we get to, we get to what we're going to do here? I can banter the hockey game with you all you want. Well, obviously not because you suck at just explaining something simple.

I think you have something in your ears and you can't hear. So there we are. Okay, shall we start? Needle in a haystack. Police began their search of the Saskatoon landfill Wednesday as part of their investigation in the 2020 disappearance, McKenzie Lee Trache. The search is scheduled the last 33 days long,

and McKenzie Trotche is the one they're looking for. She was 22 when she went missing and was last seen. December 21st, 2020. This is interesting. This is the same thing like we talked about with Winnipeg and them wanting to dig up a bunch of landfills. Have you ever been to a city landfill? Yes. They're like literally like blackstrap.

Remember blackstrap used to just be this giant landfill. It's just a giant pile of garbage. And then to just say, okay, well, we're going to look for one dead person in there. It's insane. Like, good fucking luck. Like, I get the fact that there's a family that's missing somebody. But the amount of effort they're going to go towards in terms of trying to find this body that's been gone for four years, they said they had to dig out 960 cubic meters of stuff on top of the layer that they're looking at.

That's how far gone this is. I don't know. If something's in a landfill, it's gone. I don't know what to say because I feel for the family one you're like okay I feel like they must have a lead that that puts them in that range I'm just kind of curious you know how they got to we're going to dig that far down and we're pretty sure it's there and then the next question island and then the next question becomes to is if they don't find anything then what do they keep digging they're going to say okay well we should keep digging or we should be a little bit more exhaustive or maybe we should go over this again I don't I don't know, man. It's a tough one. Thinking about getting the banned back together, Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation Wednesday banning cultivated or lab-grown meat in Florida, placing it within a conspiracy by global elites to destroy agriculture and the interest of fighting climate change. You can tell I'm reading the article here. It also makes it unlawful for any person to manufacture for sale,

sell, hold, or offer for sale, or distribute cultivated meat in this state, punishable by up to 60 days in jail, food establishments that sell or serve the stuff are also subject to penalties, including loss of commercial licenses. Quoted, what we're protecting here is the industry against acts of man against an ideological agenda that wants to finger agriculture as a problem that views things like raising cattle and destroying our climate de Santas said. I get where he's coming from, but there's a simpler way to do this. You just tell people to try it. how would you feel about it being grown in a petri dish okay you're not comfortable with it then don't buy it you you may be passed laws making sure that it can't be tried to be passed off as actual fucking meat but this this isn't something where you need to ban it out right you just be

like okay look if you want to sell it you just got to make sure people know what they're buying and then nobody will yeah i don't know would you try to have grown meat would you be like yeah i'd try it for once i'd want to to know more about it first, but I wouldn't be, I don't know, I ate a veggie burger one time. Yeah, they were talking about lab grown meat. I'm, I'm just fundamentally against it and I'm not trying it. If I knew more. I understand where DeSantis is coming from.

If I knew more about the process and I understood it, I'd be unwilling to try it with my current level of knowledge. But if I knew more about it and I felt safe trying it, I would try it. They're literally growing an organism. in a lab to sell to you. I don't want to try it. That's okay. I would just, I would try bugs. I would try bugs. I would try bugs before I'd try lab grown meat. That's where I'm mad. No, I try lab grow meat before I try bugs. Well, I guess we're just fundamentally different on our opinions and that's fine. I'm not saying I'm going to eat bugs like long term. I'm just like, okay, it's bugs. All right, whatever. You're literally artificially altering organisms to try and sell to the general public. I'm not for it. Yeah. And you're going to eat some weird fucking six-legged scuttle creature. Yes. Yeah, I'd rather have the petri dish cow.

All right. Well, when we get both of those folks, we'll do it live on air and we'll see how it is. I'm sorry, I thought this was America. Tews, you have, I think. Are you going to show the tweet of Jagmeet? Oh, I totally forgot about that. I got so excited with all of this. Okay, we're going to get to this stuff later, but here's just a teaser, folks.

of how dumb Jagmeet's saying, and the NDP across the country have been this week. We'll say, you're not willing to take the step of voting against them or forcing an election because you'd lose, and you'd lose big in the next election. I looked at three separate polls, Angus Reid had you at 19% advocateist 17, nanos of 16. You're fundraising a 6.8 million compared to 35 million for the Conservatives, if you're from the 6th of the locals. Are you just not forcing an election because you don't think you can win? you're going to have an election and I'm ready to run as prime minister in this country.

She just eviscerated him. Yes, yes. She torched him and he's like, oh, no, I'm still going to run for prime minister, Canada. Probably you shouldn't. You probably just step away right now. You should probably just fucking quit politics altogether. And maybe read a book. Read a book.

Okay. All right. Now, let's go back to... I'm sorry, I thought this was America. A man allegedly harassed a bison at Yellowstone National Park by kicking one of the animals. He was then injured and in return arrested. It's like you're arrested.

Harassed a bison. What a poor choice. That is a poor choice. This is an animal with horns on it that is the size of a fucking truck. Okay? I got to show Jack one on the drive out here when I picked him up the airport.

And then as we were driving through Elk Island National Park, which is the worst named fucking park ever because it's full of bison and not elk. Anyway, yeah, we got to see a bison there. Could you imagine, like, how dumb do you have to be? How little do you want? Like, it's basically it's made, more or less. You're going to go up and, like, it had you like, put your head. That's the type of maid I could get behind.

Well, here's the thing. I don't get why don't pick a bison. Why are you going to arrest this guy? Why are you going to find him? If you are dumb enough to attack an animal the size of a truck, which is known for aggression and has pointy fucking horns on the end of them, I think that that should be totally fine. Things that are obviously going very steeply against your own self-interest

in terms of preservation should all be legal. If you're dumb enough to do this, the punishment's there in itself. I agree. I really agree. All right. Finally, common ground. Who's your favorite? Animaniac. Wacko.

For the kids that don't know, that was great. You go back and watch that cartoon now. I'm like, this is a strange cartoon. I even thought it was strange back of his kid. But, okay, Pam Demoff won't seek re-election citing fears for her safety and discussed with toxicity in politics. We're talking wacko first, and then we're going to get to the retirement. Wacko, wow, man.

You've got twos, you're doing this to me again, where you've flipped things around. All right, fine. We don't have an entire weekend for the news cycle to settle. We've got to kind of go with some things. Think about this for a minute. Okay, so we're talking about Pierre Poliath being removed from the house after calling Justin Trudeau a wacko.

And then saying, I'll change out the term. He does it multiple times. He says radical. He says extremist. And essentially he is still removed. Okay. To be fair, which I would say that Pollyev is very easily in the right on this. The first time the speaker told him he needed to retract the word, he said, which

was wacko. And then he changed it to what you were saying. But then after that, the speaker said, no, no, no, you actually have to retract the whole statement. But you just told me to retract the word. And so anyway, it erupts in this huge fucking firestorm. Tews, can you do me a favor for the listener, the watcher? Can you pull it up on your Twitter so they can hear it?

I think it's a two-minute clip, but I think it's probably worthwhile for Canadians to hear actually what was said. It's on Twitter. if you just search, I don't know, playev and, you know, remove from the house. Because it is really important for people to hear what happened than us just trying to distill what happened. Because it is quite wild. You know, he, I can narrate it. But, you know, while twos is bringing it up, here's one of the tweets that I pulled up.

It said, the party that wants to regulate speech because of misinformation, disinformation, posted straight up lies about what went down in the QPA yesterday. The same people are telling you conservatives or threat to democracy are okay with the Speaker of the House yesterday allowing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to call Pierre Pilev, spineless and falsely say he's activating, actively courting white nationalists, but still ejected Pierre when he did withdraw the word wacko. These are the people acting like fascists and authoritarian. These are the people that are a threat to our democracy.

If twos can pull it up, I think it would be worthwhile to take. Okay. British Colombians have died of drug overdoses, but he continues to allow those drugs to kill the people in our hospitals and on our public transit. When will we put an end to this wacko policy by this wacko prime minister? That is not, there are a couple of things that are going on here today, which is not acceptable. And I ask all members please to keep themselves to control. themselves. I'm going to ask two things. One, I'm going to ask the honorable leader of the opposition

to withdraw that term, which is not considered parliamentary. He does that exact same, but it's not good enough. I replace WACO with extremist. He is an extra... The honorable member to please, I'm going to ask the leader of the opposition once again to just withdraw that comment, please. And I'll invite the honorable member to ask the honorable leader of the opposition to please withdraw that comment and simply withdraw that comment. I'll replace it with radical. I am not asking to replace. He literally did.

Yeah. Okay. Anyways, it goes back and forth for another minute here, but this is the gist of it. Well, I just, I think it's really important to hear. it, right? To hear what... I think also it's really important to point out how many times people use the word wacko in Parliament. It's pretty damn common. Well, once again, you know, whether you like the word wacko or not, he asked him to replace

wacko, and so he does, and he says extremist. And he doesn't like that. And he's, you know, and on and on and on it goes to radical. And I mean, it's, it's interesting to me, right? Like that entire thing is very, very interesting. And then you have multiple liberal MPs outright lying about what happened. Here's the video. Does that line up at all with those other tweets you showed? No. No, it's completely different.

Right? I agree. And then they wonder, why this stuff keeps happening? The rats are fleeing the ship. Pam DeMoff won't seek re-election, citing fears for her safety and disgust with toxicity and politics. She's in the suburban riding of West Toronto. She says, Demoff, the three-term MP for Oakville, North Burlington, who is the first elected in 2015, told her liberal colleagues about her decision Wednesday at the party's caucus meeting in Parliament held that she would not run.

Now, twos, I don't know if this has anything to do with it. I mean, for those listening, it's Oakville West. It's a poll and showing the support. 96% say they're voting. Conservative, or odds of winning, sorry, odds of winning is 96%. the liberals, 4%. You don't think it has anything to do with that? No, no, no, no.

It couldn't possibly be that. Now, to be clear, she's the MP for Oakville Burlington, which is now being split into two ridings. Correct. One being Oakville West and the other one, I think being Oakville East. And this is the more generous of the two polls that only has the Conservatives at 96% chance of winning that writing. If she was to go in the other riding, her chances would be half of that.

she would have a 2% chance of winning instead of a 4% chance. There you go. So, you know, you read between the lines and you go, we know exactly why she's not running. It has nothing to do with the toxicity and everything else, but you love their speaking. They've been wallering in the fucking toxicity in Canadian politics for years. Why would they ever want to stop? It's been this sleazy, greasy hate train that they've been riding all the way to the station. and now it's just that it's about to go off a cliff.

So they're like, yeah, I'm just going to jump off at the last second. The best way to deal with these sort of things. Utah officials were forced to blow up a house in a controlled explosion after the homeowner found old dynamite. The Unified Fire Authority blew up a house on holiday at 4 a.m. April 24th after the female owner found large amounts of old dynamite stashed in her deceased husband's belongings. According to the officials, the explosive material that have been passed down

from generation to generation before the elderly woman found it. Because of the age and the crystallization, de-terization of the product, it became way too dangerous to handle even taking one stick out could have created a significant threat to our personnel, they said. So what did they do? They blew up the house, too's. Yeah.

And you might ask yourself, if this was just a regular sort of thing, when would you want to blow it up? What would you want to do with it? Well, you know what? I mean, it's kind of a, it's an explodey thing. so maybe I might want to do it in the middle of the day when everybody can see what's going on

and there's lots of emergency services around but you say what would be a slightly more awesome way to handle this. Let's blow it up in the middle of the fucking night so we can get real good camera angles. I was wondering that, but my thought, my logical thought, I don't know if this would be the case or not, would be because they evacuated everybody.

So nobody's there, right? Yeah, so they got everybody in hotel rooms for the night rather than just say be at work. and my question was, A, you wouldn't have been able to have them at work. That wouldn't have worked because you need to have everybody out of there. Okay. Even though they're at work, I get what you're trying to say, but at the end of the day, they're going to blow up a building.

You can't have some mom with the kids home. They'd have to evacuate here. Anyways, I wondered if it was the fire so that they could see it so that if it caught anything, they could go extinguish it. Would that have anything to do with it at night? I don't know. Maybe I'm not an explosive expert. I feel like this is kind of a niche thing.

Like if there was somebody whose job was to go around blowing up old ordinance, like, are you guys taking resumes? Yeah, I know. That's my next thought. I'm like, how do I get this job?

You know, it was an old grenade last, or a couple weeks ago, me and two, we're talking about. Now it's old sticks of dynamite. It's like, I feel like there's a few people who would like this job and we could dispose of it.

We'd figure it out. You're going to allow us to blow up a house in the middle of the evening. We're going to evacuate the entire town for this. That sounds like a job I want. Yeah. I mean, I find it really interesting, though, that they didn't just evacuate and try and just get a robot to put them in, I don't know, a steel container. And then, yeah, if it blows up, fair enough, we're out a robot. Instead of just being like, okay, take your commemorative plates, little old lady, and, you know, a couple crocheted blankets and whatever else you think is important. And we're just going to blow the rest of it to shit.

Right? Like, this can have been good advice. Like this had to have been some local copy and like, well, obviously the responsible thing would be to get a bomb robot, see if they could put it gently into a container and then move that to the middle of nowhere and then blow it to hell and back. But you know what would be even more awesome is if we just tell this little old lady, there's nothing we can do and we just blow up all of her cat shaped teapots. Behold the field where I grow my investment capital and see that it is barren. Eminton-based Capital Power Corp says it is no longer pursuing its proposed 2.4 billion carbon capture and storage project at its Genesee Natural Gas Fire Power Plant. The company says it has decided the project is technically viable, but not economically feasible. Capital Power says it may explore carbon capture and storage again in the future as economics improve. I don't know what to say about this. It's just the latest string.

I haven't had anything invested in Canada in a long time. aside from hard assets. And I don't really know anybody who does. And everybody else is saying, hey, you know, yeah, this would totally work. We could do this. But the math doesn't add up. And when people are deciding to do things in other jurisdictions based on the math, what they're saying is that the government is fucked and they're charging too much in terms of things like carbon taxes.

See, that's the thing. They're probably, this is a carbon capture initiative. and there's no exemptions or even incentives for carbon capture, despite the fact that we need to save the planet and there's no planet B. And so if you say, okay, but we're taking all of the carbon and we're sequestering it. First off, the liberals, it's too big of a word for them, so they're not going to know that. But secondly, like you're literally doing the exact thing that they want, which is having less carbon dioxide in the environment.

but it's not about doing it. It's about doing it the fucking way they told you to do it. And don't you fucking forget it for fucksies. All right. Zane Southgate, how did we get to Friday already? Zane, it was nice to finally meet you. It was nice to meet you,

Zane. It was nice to meet you. There was a few people there that, you know, you finally, you know, just get chat with and spend some time with. And that was really nice. Bureaucrats forced to work under barbaric conditions. Federal government employees will be required to spend. Wait for it.

three days a week in the office starting this ball. Jesus Christ. Now, I'm going to skip over. That's the big thing, okay? This is what the union said. Unions representing public service say they are blindsided and outraged by the new rules, forcing federal employees to work from their office at least three days a week. The new requirements would take effect September 9th also stipulate executives will have to be in the office at least four days a week.

The outrage. The Public Service Alliance of Canada says it will be filing an unfair labor practice complaint and looking into other legal options. Good on them. Yeah. We are shocked at this decision, which has been made in secret without consultation and with no valid reason given. How about because we fucking said so? How about because it's your job? And I love how they said, oh, shoot, where is it?

Let me find it here. Well, they would have known what was happening. except they haven't been at work in two years. Yeah, we posted it on the fridge of the coffee room six months ago. You want us to come to the bargaining table? Can we do it virtually? It's like, well, no, the bargaining table is actually the office. You got to come to the office.

Yeah, and then they said, yeah, so we're shocked at the decision, which is made. There's no valid reason given. He said in a statement, we will not be taking this lying down. Motherfucker, you're working at home. You're literally taking this lying down. You can't make this up. You can't make it up. Big Gay Fowless.

Oh, man. Okay, shovels have hit the ground. What you're staring at is the projected look of what this thing is going to be. Shovels have hit the ground for construction on Canada's LGBTQ2S plus National Monument in Ottawa. The historic milestone was commemorated at an event on Wednesday afternoon hosted by the LGBT Purge Fund with the Monuments Design Team attended by representatives from the, a Nishinaabe Algonquin nation and the federal government. The monument called Thunderhead is being built to commemorate and honor the victims of Canada's LGBTQ2S Plus purge and others in the community have been marginalized for who they are. The monument will be built in Ottawa on a portion of land tucked behind the Supreme Court of Canada.

Okay, first off, the LGBTQ purge that they're talking about is when the federal government, them actively dissuaded gays from joining the public service and try to push a lot of them out of it which I mean let's be honest you're doing them a favor okay

but they're saying it's a bad thing and so this is what you're looking at right now Sean is phase one of this where it's going to be an LGB monument and then you're going to have some crazy blue-haired protesters tear it in which case it will also be trans at that point. They're going to knock.

Yeah, all right. I see what you did there. I see what you did there. Okay. Albert and John says finally. Yeah, this is the monument we've been waiting for our entire life, Sean. Oh, that's good. All right, not the bees.

Not the bees. All right. I'm going to pull it up here because it's pretty cool. Okay. LA Dodgers game was delayed because of bees, literally. Like, look at them all. And then, here I'll see if I can get it. We don't need the audio.

What we need is just the video. And of course, I got a thing in front of it. Come on, get out of the way. There we go. There we go. This guy sucked up all the bees, okay? And so here he is. With a vacuum cleaner.

With a vacuum cleaner. And then he literally got to throw the first pitch and they treated them like he was an, you know, an absolute hero from World War epic proportions. There you go. And he threw the first pitch. I mean, he did take on a thousand bees. So there's that. But yeah, I mean, just imagine that call. Like, hey, we need you to go to Dodger Stadium. The game can't start because there's too many bees. We're wondering if you've got a vacuum cleaner that can help with that. You wonder if you got a solution. He's like, well, I could just suck him up with the vacuum. Yeah, I got a shot.

You could do that? You could do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they'll suck anything wet, dry, you name it. So many. Yeah. It was, it was nice. It could almost be one of the happy newses. Liberal conflict of interest of the week. Ooh, I like that as well.

I mean, how many times does it have to happen? I don't know. I don't know. A lobbyist with business ties to federal cabinet minister, Randy Bosanel, met with a high-level politician staff in six federal departments, including one where Bosanil was also. associate minister. The meetings which took place in 2021, 2022 helped raise $110 million in federal grants for the Eminton International Airport. In legally mandated public disclosure listing his possible

conflicts of interest, Bosunel posted the legal name of his consultancy, which was an Alberta Corporation, 2005, 2050877 Alberta LTD. He did not, however, disclose its trade name, Navis Group, which then went on to be awarded contracts at the Eminton International Airways. report two's yeah so the whole thing is just a tiny little bit of separation so that it seems mostly legal now here's michael barrett on twitter who is a conservative member of parliament so yeah he's got a partisan interest in this but he lays it all out and he's got this he's got all these arrows going around and you've got any financial benefit between 2020 and 2023 is the solid line and then you've got the dotted line which is non-monetitone

relationship. So Randy Bosnall and Kirsten Poon, who took over his company, and look at all of this. And really what he should have done was included numbers in it. But literally, each one of those little dots is the literal fucking millions. Yeah, it stinks to high heaven. But it's,

you know, it's when you say conflict of interest of the week, I'm like, yeah. Like, I mean, this is becoming more and more apparent that you get into the government. The story reads, you know, he disclosed. You know,

he is plausible. I did disclose. Disclose 2005, Alberta, LCD, the company name. What he did disclose is the trade name and what it, one of things on is Navas Group. And the only way you could have possibly known that is if you do an $80.

Right. And so as a politician, you're thinking, nobody's going to do that, right? Nobody's going to pay $80 to go dig into this. Well, no one's going to accidentally stumble upon this to even pay the $80, right?

Correct. Conflicts are a feature. Glenn, you're absolutely right. That's the thing is that, you know, you're like, well, technically I didn't do anything illegal, even though actually my former company, which is being held by a trust and is currently being ran by Kirstipone,

made literal millions of dollars off of this greasy fucking situation. Correct. All right. Don't bite the handout. The Saskatchen NP's recent, criticism of political lobbyists has backfire. During question period on Monday, the government revealed that an NPD email in which the party requested sponsorship from a lobby firm that it had previously criticized.

Oh, the turn events to the turn of. Oh, how the turntables have turned. So the NDP who Canada wide is just clawing with their fingernails to maintain a shred of legitimacy. Saskatchewan is not looking too good for them. They're only saving grace in Saskatchewan right now is that the SaaS party keeps kicking themselves, like just putting their feet in their mouth and kicking themselves in the ass and all sorts of self-harming, physiologically abstract euphemisms. And that's all they got going for them. The NEP is not a serious party.

I don't know if you've ever heard me say that before, Sean. And they've run out of all the usual suspects and they're just like, we need some money from somebody, anybody. And so they're reaching out to the same lobbyist groups that they're publicly shitting on to be like, hey, yeah, so we hate you. But can you give us money? Yeah. And then. It's fantastic. It's fantastic.

Michelle Krieger, the hypocrisy in the S.K. Legit legislature is ridiculous. I am inclined to believe you. Universities done lost the damn mind. Well, let's start here, okay? Columbia protester spokeswoman demands humanitarian aid be sent to the starving students in their encampment. Do you want, quote it? Like the cafeteria is still literally open. Quoted, do you want students to die of dehydration and starvation or get severely ill?

You should provide basic humanitarian aid. Okay. So let's start here. Okay. This is a tweet saying, does anyone else find it odd? They all have the same tense. This is Yale encampment. This is UW Mo.

Milwaukee, and this is U Michigan. Okay. They all have an overwhelming majority of the exact same tent. All set up poorly, by the way. There's not a single bit of tight plastic on that. And

then also, yeah, so they're all the exact same tent, which is pretty statistically unlikely. Unlikely. Then, well, just think about it, you go to the camp, you know, you go camping. When do you ever see somebody with your same Your same tent, very rarely.

Almost never, actually. Instead of like this entire can't or statewide protest, everybody has the same tent. You might be able to argue, you know, if you went to just one spot. Let's say UWM. There was a deal or something. Yeah. And they all went in and got the same tent. You're like, oh, that makes sense.

But when it pops up everywhere, you're like, hmm, something smells fishy here. And then the next one is cops remove these people. You know, everybody talks about how clean. I always think of the protest in Ottawa and how redonculously clean it was. Here's what another protest looks like. Okay, now cops went in. So part of it could be okay, the cops moved them out too quick and they couldn't clean themselves up. But these are the people that worry about the environment.

That's right. And then finally, I go back to my initial comments on humanitarian aid. And here's the readers adding context. Her claims are misleading. Per Columbia, campus dining is open, as two has pointed out. Two, humanitarian aid is for saving lives in the most dire situations, violent conflict, natural disasters. The students can leave if they want.

So everybody's camping in the bowl or the common or whatever the hell it's called. And they're like, we need food. We're all going to starve to death. And they're like, motherfucker. The cafeteria is open to the next building. You just have to get off your dumb ass and go eat. And then this is the best, okay? Me and twos always love a politician with a great name, okay?

A great name. So the press conference jihadist is a PhD. student named Johanna King Slotsky. I'm not kidding you. King Slotsky. I mean, you can't make that up either. And she was looking at, shoot, I can't remember what her major was, but it was something

looking at poetry or ancient poetry through a Marxist lens. And then believe it or not, she's, uh, my dissertation is on the fantasies of limitless energy in the transatlantic romantic imagination from 1760 to 1860. My goal is to write a prehistory of metabolic rift

Marx's term for the disruption of energy circuits caused by industrial under capitalism. She goes on to interpreted through a Marxian lens in order to update and propose an alternative to historic ideologies, critiques of the romantic imagination, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. There you. Yes, through a Marxist lens.

Marxist everything. These people are going to be fucking mind blown when they realize that Karl Marx was Jewish. Here's here. This is one you wanted me to point out two before we move on and I hit the buzzer. Is Pai Kappa fee men defended their flag and they started a fundraiser for him. It's up over $500,000 to us. For a rager.

For a rager. So a bunch of frat boys. So in one of these colleges, they wanted to go after the U.S. flag in the middle of some area and a bunch of frat boys stood around and defended it. the you know those those white trash you know a bunch of partying bad guys that are just doing all sorts of raunchy stuff all stood around the flag and kept it from being tore down and wrecked and then somebody started to go fund me for them and said hey shouldn't we shouldn't we throw a cake party for them and it's up at over half a million dollars imagine the party you could throw with half a million dollars that would be pretty damn cool i think And Leanne says idiots.

I think she was talking about the protesters, not the Kappa. I believe you're correct. Or maybe Oilers fans. Yeah. Argentina. Argentina again. The peso has not only halted its continuous decline, but has also experienced a significant surge in one crucial foreign exchange market. Argentina has several, as a result, of its own complex rules in the market known as the Blue Chip Swap, which it utilized by many investors and companies.

the peso has skyrocketed by 25% against the dollar over the last three months. The performance surpasses the gains of all 148 currencies that Bloomberg tracks against the dollar. This development is quite surprising in a country where the currency appears to be in a perpetual state of depreciation. The smallest yearly decline in the past 10 years was 15%. That's talking about Argentina's currency. So the smallest decline over a year has been 15%. and they've skyrocketed 25% just in the last three months. Yeah, so that's huge.

Everything that he's been saying he was going to do. See, it's interesting because lots of this stuff is empirically proven but largely untested. I don't think there's ever been a situation like what's happening in Argentina right now where you've got someone going in and being like, we are going to enact all of the libertarian ship. So just sit back and watch how awesome it's going to get. And it's early, right?

I mean, I could be eating these words in a year or two or three, right? Absolutely. But early indicators seem to show that having a common sense approach to politics and monetary policy seems to show overwhelmingly positive successes. I had Doug Casey on. He's the international man, worldwide investor. and he talked about Argentina being on the rise. If you wanted to be in a place, Argentina. And, you know, week after week, we keep pointing out that some of the things that

Malaya is doing is having benefit to that country. Now, in fairness, their country was an absolute ruin. And he stepped in and done what he's so far, to me and twos, staring at it where we read articles. It looks like he's doing what he says and seeing the benefits of that. And it's not coming out just from some Argentina magazine, you know, Bloomberg saying, like, holy crap, you're seeing it compared to all these different currencies and we're starting to see these different things trickle out of there. So it'll be interesting to watch here over the,

you know, the rest of the year and probably further on into the, you know, in time as well, too. See, and it's interesting in a lot of ways because on the one hand, you look at it and you think, okay, well, is it so far gone that everything's just going to shit the bed? And no matter what, no matter what he tries, there's going to be so much institutionalized resistance and the rot is so deep that he just can't affect any change. But then the other thing is what you were talking about. And I think that's going to be more right as time goes on, is that it was such a shit show there for so long

that it's just a slam dunk for him to just be like, okay, well, yeah, what if we just fire all the people that don't do anything? Do you think that would turn the economy around? And then it did. All right, going back to Saskatchewan, Murray Henderson here, check out the policies of the Buffalo Party of Saskatchewan for the changes that are needed. I mean, I could if we ever saw literally anything from them.

They seem like, they seem like an interesting party. They're the kind of party I'd want to know more about, but can't find a damn thing about on the internet. So, and then we've got Leanne Taylor, stop being bitter. Maybe the flames will make it next year. Probably not. All right. So we're going to block her just real quick.

Uruguay went from communist to liberty. Yeah. I don't know much about Uruguay, but maybe I should learn more. We're banning the wrong athletes. Five West Virginia middle schoolers went, who protested

a transgender athlete's participation in a track and field competition have been barred from future mates. Do I need to read anymore? No, no, it's basically that's it. They're like, well, if we're going to have to compete against a dude,

we're just going to not compete. And then they said, well, wait a second, you can't just decide to not compete? This is like, this is like when you go in, like that classic thing of you go into your boss's office all angry, and you're like, you know what, I quit. And he says, you can't quit, you're fired. You're like, okay, well, I guess I get severance now.

That's literally what happened here. Was this stuff, I quit, you can't quit, you're fired. which is a silly, silly thing to do. Scotland gives its former leader a swift kick in the kilt. Humsat Yusaf confirms he is quitting as Scotland's first minister triggering leadership race. Quoted, I'm not willing to trade my values and principles or do deals with whomever for simply retaining power. Yes, and so this is a guy who said that there was too many white people in Scotland, which is interesting because, you know, So over here in North America, you got this whole thing versus the indigenous people and the settlers.

In Scotland, the indigenous people are white. Why does that conversation never happen? Why don't you guys all just go back to where you came from and leave the indigenous people alone to have their harmonious community? Right? Right. But it gets all weird because it's sending people who aren't white back to where they came from. and suddenly that becomes racist. But if it's white people go,

and just it's, he's been a very silly man saying a lot of stupid things. You know, pro-lockdown. He wanted to keep everybody in 15-minute cities. And, like, Scotland's not that big. I assume it's just a 15-minute island. But anyway, he's not there anymore. And from the sounds of it, good riddance.

Trisha, Trish Roo, say that five times fast. Great to see young students standing up against the woke, gives hope for the future. Absolutely, it does. And I stopped by there on my way back, picked up some meat. Did you? Yeah, had the ground beef the other day. There was a big assortment.

I haven't got to most of it yet, but made these like ultimate sloppy joes. They were phenomenal. So off to a great start with the-hats off to the Roo family. Lots of time for them. More things that cause fires and aren't climate change. The city of Vancouver could soon be banning the use of one of the type of butane lighter. Report by city staff recommends a ban on the continuous flame lighters, which can be locked in the on position because of the fire risk.

Vancouver Fire and Rescue Service has responded more than 3,100 fires since the beginning of last year. Many of them in the downtown single room occupancy buildings were open smoking materials believed to be the cause. So let's ban the lighters too. Let's ban the lighters. That's going to solve the problem. problem. What would you be smoking that you would just want to lock the lighter into the on position, Sean? Crack. Yeah. You'd be smoking crack. All that free drugs? All that free drugs. Well, actually, would that possibly be the problem here? For a larger quantity of other drugs and then they

would sell those at more upscale places like Ontario. Okay. But that's that's why you need a lighter that locks in the on position. It's for crack. And they're banning it because it's causing too many fires. Climate change again, people. Everything's climate change. Update. Wrongfully imprisoned pastor looking for payback.

That actually sounds like an action movie. What story is this, too? This is the one where the Korean pastor spent 32 months in jail and then tried fighting it. The charges were stayed. This is Deggan.

Dagan Chun? Yeah, and so now he's filed a $100 million. Okay, apologies, apologies. You know, Tews does this to me once in a while where we hop. Okay, Degoon Chung, accused by Quebec, R-CMP, of being the mastermind of a Canada-wide human smuggling network, is now suing the force and Quebec's Attorney General for $100 million after all charges against him were stayed.

Chun was arrested in 2015, then flown to Montreal and paraded in front of TV cameras before a press conference, alleging he was the head of a trafficking ring. The force as many as 500 women in the prostitution in various Canadian city. When he was arrested, Chun was running a private career college in Toronto. He and eight other co-defendants were said to be running the prostitution operation in Toronto and Montreal. Chun has always denied the allegations. He has no previous criminal record. He admitted he knew two of the co-accused, but only as tenants and condos, he was subletting.

He believes the RCMP mistakenly concluded the school he was running was a front for human spungling. Yeah, so they kind of jumped the gun on a little bit. And then they said, oh, well, if you just. plead out, you can get out of jail. And they offered him just a really minor plea deal, kind of a Coots type thing. And he said, no, I'm not taking that. I haven't done anything wrong. And he spent 32 months in jail. And then at the end of it, they didn't even continue with the charges. They just stayed means that they just dropped doing them. They didn't formally drop the charges. They just didn't do anything until the timer ran out on it, which you wouldn't do for somebody who

was smuggling 500 prostitutes. I don't think. Well, maybe in Canada, you would. I don't know. Anyway, the point is, is that for a pastor, not a great look spending three years in jail for supposed human trafficking and prostitution. So he's going after them and saying, you guys kind of fuck me over. I would like $100 million, please. And it'll settle out of court and it'll be probably more than $10.5 million. I would agree.

Good for him for standing up for himself, even if it's going to come at our expense. because we're the ones who are going to pay the bill. Who will pay the bill, yes. Yeah. Update. UCP takes a step back. In the face of widespread opposition, Alberta government says it now plans to amend its contentious Bill 20 to further clarify elements that give cabinet new unilateral powers

to oust a counselor as well as to repeal and amend local bylaws. On Thursday, a week after the bill was introduced, municipal affairs minister Rick McIver issued a indicating changes to the legislation we're coming. We will be working with municipalities to propose amendments to the legislation and clarify this would only be used in a very limited circumstances that reads in reference to the ability to remove counselors. Yeah, I have a lot of suspicion for politicians who say, we just have this here and we hope we're never going to have to use it.

It's going to be used under very limited circumstances or it's not going to use at all. You don't need to worry about this. We're just passing it so that it's there. And then next thing you know, we can't get on airplanes anymore. But yeah, this basically made municipal governments irrelevant, or municipal elections irrelevant, rather, because it just gave them veto power over any municipal election.

And they rightly got a lot of backlash over it. Yeah, I talked to Chris Sims about it because I was, you know, there's some things in my rant about it last week that I certainly got not quite factual, but overall, she did agree with the fact that, like, taking the power out of the people's hands is not a good luck because eventually, you know, you're going to have some government that has now the powers to do what they want. And as it sits right now, Rick McGuiver in that group have the power to do what they want. We've seen that in Chestermere. Now, where does that all unfold? You know, that waits to be seen. So, like, the consolidation of it with what they,

how it read to me seemed to be insane. So the fact, the fact. that it's taken a step back says like we weren't the only ones looking at this going, this makes zero sense. I know they talk about Emmington being in the article as being really pushing back but I have to assume there's people all over Alberta and we're like

because as much as I would love to see it would be fun to watch them just go into Edmonton and be like So he you fucking suck, you're corrupt. Get the fuck out. That's not how things work. Now, if you actually set up some decent recall legislation and then I was used to

host him, that would be fine. Recall. The funny thing about Chris, though, is that the more you get to know her, the more you just realize that, you know, while she works for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, she's got this entire wealth of not, like, she could speak intelligently to pretty much any subject you want to bring up. Well, she was, you know, first, as I buzz us out, of this with Chris the lovely thing is is when it comes to Canada in general before she was with the taxpayers federation she was a journalist that covered a ton of things out in ottawa and then produced radio shows and on and on on so she has been staring at a lot of this for a very long time and one of the things i thoroughly enjoy about her is uh the ability to take lots of information

and compress it down to like bite size we're like oh i get it right and so um the recall thing yes we are a place in what is it, the only place in Canada that has recall legislation. Okay. It's still complete and utter BS. Well, it doesn't work and we just saw it in Calgary. The metrics for it makes zero sense and that needs to be changed. Great recall that we have it. It needs to be better.

Also, again, in this article, the same thing I talked about last week where the only people they interviewed for this were politicians. And now they're going to bring in the municipalities. What, like, well, no, but they talk to mergers and they talk to counts. and saying, oh, yeah, yeah, we don't like this because that. We don't like this because that. Talk to somebody on the ground. Talk to some random-ass taxpayer or talk to Lanham Johnston and say, hey, you just ran this hugely successful recall petition campaign.

What do you think about this idea? Right? They just journalists nowadays have no idea, like even what it would take to think the way regular people do. They become so detached. disappearing cookie article so okay i'm going to pull up the same picture of this sucker here you go i think we've all seen these pictures uh these cookies at tim hathes this one looks like like this is okay so last week we talked about how there was the edmonton oilers donuts and this week we've got the edmonton oilers cookies

well so then you try and find the article it's all over the place you can't find it here's Here's another image. Yeah, because they deleted it. Right. Yeah. Then there's the Tim Horton's, the grilled cheese sandwich that a sports column has got. He took a picture of it tweeting about it. You're like, holy man, somebody hates their job.

And probably you understand why. Yep. And these are the people who want 15 bucks an hour or 20 bucks an hour or whatever it is. But yeah, this is interesting because apparently they, because you look at it and on its own, it looks kind of funny. but also apparently what they do for this is they get a bunch of local community groups in to decorate the cookies and then those community groups keep the proceeds. Now it turns out that there's a lot of special needs community groups who do this stuff. So you wouldn't expect the exact same level to detail.

I'm telling you right now, although this, you know, like do you want the perfect smiley face? I kind of appreciate this cookie. I'm like, can you imagine looking in the window, too, seeing all these different cookies with all different smiley faces, be like, I want the one that looked like it took its seventh jab. That's the one I want. I want to take a bite out of that one. That's exactly it though, Sean, right? When you see all of the cookies lined up in the window, you're going to say, I want the one with the goofy face, whether it's like somebody posted a picture of one that was just the regular ass cookie, but it was a frowny face instead of a smiley face. You're going to be like, I want that one.

Okay. If one of them was doing like a wink or something like that, you'd be like, I want that one. You're not going to go over the same generic smiley, happy face all the time. It's kind of a missed opportunity where they can really have a lot of fun with that. Maybe we're pointing out to something that Tim Horton should be doing.

Make a droopy face. You know, people might think of money. Have some fun with it. And then you're going to sell more cookies. It looks like Tuesday is trying to draw after a few drinks. Okay. We got one more person.

we got a ban, but yeah, all right. Thanks, thanks for your comment, Matt De Jong. The whistleblowing leads in industry fatalities. It's got to be probably one of the most dangerous jobs you can have. Like, it's right up there with lumberjacks. I was wondering if covindication met whistleblowing on an article. That's what I was kind of wondering in this article as I read it. But I'll read it for people.

And then they get there a second whistleblower to raise concerns about the safety of Boeing aircraft has died. Joshua Dean 45 was a former quality auditor for a Boeing supplier spirit aerosystems in Wichita, Kansas. He had worked on the Boeing 737 Max program and filed a formal whistleblower complaint in the Federal Aviation Administration in 2023 over improper manufacturing practices he witnessed. He had been fired months before, allegedly in relation for bringing up safety concerns with spirit management. His death comes two months after being a Boeing whistleblower, John Barrett, was found dead, and we talked about this after an apparent suicide a day after testifying against the planemaker. Dean died in hospital Tuesday morning after his family says his health deteriorated suddenly.

He was in critical condition for two weeks after he started experiencing difficulty breathing. So maybe they just gave him an extra jab, you know? Maybe that's possible. Well, I mean, it's like if I wanted to silence a political opponent, I'd tell him to get vaccinated. We're being removed off of YouTube as we speak. We've said the basic. Well, no. I mean, we're saying, hey, you know what?

You should go out and get vaccinated. You should. You should. Yes. You should. Yes. Yeah. If the oilers end up making it to the conference final shot, you should totally celebrate with a vaccination.

Yeah. So this is the second. This whistleblower Boeing. Yeah. I mean, regardless of how it plays out, they've had two of them now go down in like two months. That were both whistleblowing about them. Imagine if this was actually legitimate. like where you know they're just like well fuck like we yeah we killed the last one but now this guy

just dies on his own now we look really bad imagine how frustrating that would be especially if you're like Hillary Clinton and you're like I planned some big elaborate thing and then he went to the hospital before I could do it and he just died on its own I'm going to be totally irrelevant to these people never I think she's talking about the uh oilers going to the conference final. All right. Next one. Pemina sucks.

Okay, this is credit where credits do. David Staples, Eminton Journal here. The Pemina Institute, this is a long one, okay? The Pemina Institute prepared a seven-page technical brief, setting out what it describes is a feasible pathway to meeting the cap. Did you know,

and then this is a global cap, okay, emissions cap. Did you know that Gibo and Pemina go way back, question mark? Indeed, Gibo has a good old friend in the Pemina Institute. In 2007, Gibo was already working nonstop to thwart the oil sands, not to mention nuclear power, through his Quebec group, Equiter. With Marlowe Reynolds, the then executive director of Pemina Institute, Gibbo wrote an editorial pushing the then novel concept that Alberta produced dirty oil.

Gable and Reynolds boasted of grassroots protesters opposing oil sands expansion. It appears, though, that those humble grassroots found their way to a pot of gold. The accounting firm, Deloitte, found that the Pemina Institute was to get 7.6 million in foreign funding and Equiterer 2.4 million between 2003 and 2019. The Pemina Institute has received something in order of 35 grants 2017, oh, sorry, 35 federal grants since 2017 worth a total of $7.6 million. In a statement, the Pemina Institute said that 7.6 million represented just 17% of its total revenue since 2017. We are a non-partisan organization. And regardless of where our funding comes from, we work constructively with governments at all levels across Canada. We produce independent research.

Yes, independent research that just so happens to get paid for by the liberals. And then you end up with people like Samir Kandy, who I met in person when I was at that thing with Marty. Yep. This dude is like 5-1. It's interesting because I noticed since that every time you see pictures, of him or video of him. It's always taken from a downward angle looking up. So it gives you the artificial impression of height.

And you're like, okay, well, that's on purpose. Like, if you're going to be short, just knowing it, right? I could steal a couple things from him is what you're saying. Well, no, it's just, it's just funny because obviously it's a big deal to him. Because whenever you look at his photography, it's always got the upward angle. Okay, but yeah. So, uh, ta, da, da, da, yada, yada, yada, yada, and sat on the board of the Pemina Institute. This is the

NDP guy. So the next time you think that the Pemina Institute is nonpartisan, they don't produce conservative politicians. They don't, they don't even produce liberal politicians. They produce fucking socialists. And David Staples move the lid off the whole thing, which we all knew already, but it's nice

to have receipts. Then it was, it was a good article. It was just a good article. And so many times we we crap on journalists, and I think it's good to point out who's writing it. And then it was a great article. It was very interesting. Loblaws, girl caught.

Loblaws companies reported 13.5 billion in its first quarter of revenue, a 4.5% increased for a year earlier on Wednesday morning the same day that a group of frustrated shoppers said they would begin a month-long boycott of the grocery retailer. Emily Johnson, a boycott organizer from Milton, Ontario told CBC News in an interview that its end goal is to be reducing grocery prices and to be increasing food security for all Canadians. One of the group's primary demands is that Lobla sign the industry-developed Grocery Code of Conduct a set of Proposal Rules that govern how major grocery companies interact with their suppliers. Here's the thing, is that this article, believe it or not, is being intentionally misleading

by talking about gross profits rather than net profits. So you say, okay, well, yeah, yeah, they don't. take into account overhead. It's the same thing as the eight out of ten people get more money back. This is the corporate equivalent of that. And it's silly. Here's just plain and simple for anybody who didn't see it when I did the video on it. For every thousand dollars, if you're spending a thousand bucks on groceries a month, La Blas keeps about 30. If you want them to eliminate their profit, their profits. Profit.

That would mean that that $1,000 of groceries, if they were just break-even, that $1,000 worth of groceries, would now cost you $970. That is how much money they're just robbing you. Now, there's other reasons you can hate loblas. As somebody who worked for them like 20 years ago, they fucking suck to work for it.

They made me anti-union. And we could talk about that. right but but to say that they're just stealing money from from employees yes uh customers no turns out we don't like vegan food after all now twos am i going back the veggie burgers you know we're we literally talked about this i know but i can't find it now what the deuce oh here it is despite a decade of growth and five years of intense innovation sales returned to pre-pandemic level in 2020, plant-based meat and seafood dollar sales dropped 12%

and units sales fell by 19% in the U.S. According to a 2023 GFI poll, half of the adults who tried plant-based meat said they wouldn't eat it again because of the taste. Or maybe it just sucks. You know, it just sucks. That's half the people who tried it. So that's not just half the people wouldn't eat it again.

So presumably more than half wouldn't eat it again because they might have other reasons, like maybe the cost or, you know, difficulty in logistics or something like that. But half the people who tried it said this stuff is fucking gross. Okay. I mean, how many times have we covered articles where they're coming out with some new super improved vegan thing that tastes just like meat? Obviously not.

If half the people aren't interested in ever, ever purchasing it again. I remember there was a couple years ago, there was, I don't know, some big natural disaster happened in the States. and the grocery stores were empty. Like all the shelves, there was nothing on them, except you had, you know, in the middle of the food, obviously food, in the middle of the meat section, they had the vegan stuff, and it was just full.

People were like, it's a catastrophe. There's no more fucking food. We're all going to starve to death. And they're bypassing it. But I'm not going to eat fucking vegan burgers. Oh, man. Drugs are bad again. Okay.

Okay. Real quick. Gaines Southgate Tuesday. It took law laws, attorney, anti-union. Some of us privileged few have had the advantage

of being non-union from birth. Well, I'm going to be the first to admit that sometimes I don't learn lessons easily. Also, there's great meeting on the weekend. British Columbia is abruptly reversed course on its landmark

experiment decriminalizing the possession of certain illicit drugs in public, citing mounting frustration and disorder in the Canadian province. Premier David Eby said on Friday that he had asked the federal government to reintroduce a ban on public drug use, though personal possession and consumption will still be allowed in private spaces. Keeping people safe is our highest priority. While we are caring and compassionate for those struggling with addiction, we do not accept street disorder that makes communities feel unsafe, Ebby said, while the personal possession of 2.5 grams of cocaine methamphetamine MDMA and opiates such as fentanyl will be permitted in private spaces such as homes, tents, and safe injection sites.

The police will soon be able to seize drugs if people are using in the public spaces when necessary, and that's in quotes, or to arrest them in exceptional circumstances. Well, I mean, do we have any reason why they would just do this sudden and drastic role reversal of positions, even after they fought some of this in the Supreme Court to just unilaterally throw it up? out? Do you have any idea why this might have happened, Sean? Any guesses? Oh, they're starting to tank in the polls and elections coming up. Politicians are going to be politicians, too, don't hang. Happy news. Okay, let's start here. Okay. I'm going to, we got a few to get through today. So let's let's start here. This is El Salvador's leader. He said he, yes, he brought in all of his executive branch of the government and said, we're going to investigate

and said, yeah, or attorney general, pardon me. We're going to investigate you. And said, yeah, did this nice big speech about how he doesn't want corruption and he doesn't want the people around him being corrupt. And everybody in this room is going to get fine too fucking combed. And if you're greasy or you're done.

We were wondering how if suddenly he dies suddenly, you know, you wonder if that could possibly be the next story we read. The next one is. you know, heartbreaking for me. Yes. To put on the Cornerstone Forum to then realize Drumheller on the same day was going to try and break the Guinness Book of World Records of having dinosaur, inflatable dinosaur costumes there. That was set in done for it last year.

Yes, we talked about it until afterwards. 3,000. Yeah. Yeah. Like, ah, look at them all. Look at all those dinosaurs. We could have been there. Dang it.

So I guess Dee and Kelly were there too. So shout out to them. I would have loved to have been, but I had this other thing that day. So the next time you're going to book an event, Sean, you just need to be like, look, before we finalize the day, are there any giant dinosaur costume events? Yes, 100%. Whoopsie. Next is the city of New York will pay a settlement of over $2 million to three white female department of education employees over their charges of being replaced by less qualified people of color. The three have waited five years for a resolution to their complaints,

which included former Chancellor Richard Kranz's crusade against so-called toxic whiteness. So there's a court case that got awarded. They're all getting paid about 700 grand for what they went through. The next, a woman who spent almost 30 years in a coma is now alert and talking after her family refused to give up hope for her recovery. That is wild. This is a lady in the United Arab Emirates suffered brain damage in a car accident in 1991. and never regained consciousness.

Onar, her son, would visit his mother every day walking more than a mile this year. He said he'd spent several hours with her each day and could tell when she was in pain, even though she couldn't speak. He said it was a tough to hold down a job due to his mother's condition, but he didn't regret anything. He went on to quoted, I never regretted it. I believe that because of my support for God saved me. God saved me bigger troubles. So pretty incredible story of a woman coming out of a 30 years.

And then she woke up. Could you imagine going into a coma in 91 and then coming out in this present day? And just being like, wait, wait, what do you mean I have to say that they're women now? Wait, wait, okay. So, so you guys just shut the whole economy down for like two fucking years. And you didn't look into what possible effects that might have. Everything is racist now. Like everything?

I just imagine how weird. Think about how life was like in 91. 91. You're like, oh, I was really looking forward to sleepless in Seattle coming out this summer. And then next thing you know, you're like what Jeffrey Epstein had all of the actors on an island?

Yeah. Yeah. It would be you could probably do a movie about it. You could probably do a mockumentary of it. Well, I mean, just be like, well,

you know what? I really hope Bill Cosby comes up something good after the Cosby show ended. Like, had OJ even killed his ex-wife and her boyfriend at that point? You're like, what do you mean nobody drives a Ford Bronco? Just the amount of holes you would have in your just common knowledge would be baffling. One other good piece of good news this week. All right.

This has been a good episode. This has been a good episode. So, do, do, do, do, do oilers, suck it, did it. Oilers advance. Can't wait. Can't wait. I told Tuesday I was going to be unsufferable. And I'm going to be insufferable for another week.

Let's roll. Vancouver, Nashville. Bring it on. And Leanne Taylor says, so glad I remembered you guys were on today. I also want to bring up the League Bracket Challenge. You know, I'm going to make sure the next year that we do this because you can't get involved with it anymore. that we're a little earlier on it so people can get involved and have a little bit of fun with us. You got wines, weans, that's probably Brent, I would think, or Brian, one of the two,

is sitting tied for the top spot with a Gregor's bracket, Sand, Dustin Newman, Glenn Van Devere's. Those guys right there, four of them. They're perfect right now. And if I scroll down and I keep going, there's Drew McKay, AMC, electrical at 6th, If I keep scrolling down, Peter Moran at 10th. Iceman. I saw you went past. I keep going down.

I keep going down. I'm looking for something. There I am at 17th. All right. Fair enough. I keep going down. You're pretty far behind you. Number 25 Vance Crowe.

Suck it, buddy. All right. Suck it, Vance. He's at number 25. Just saying. And then Glenn Giebert's right above him. Hey, Glenn. Hey, Glenn.

Oh, yeah. Glenn's right above him. I'll pop that back up. He's got Vancouver. You got Vancouver. Kuver winning the cup. Not a chance. Not a chance. Not a chance. There's something in the water out west. I don't know. It's, um, okay. And we got Donald Schwartz watching from Nova Scotia. Hello. Nova Scotia. Yeah. So that's pretty cool. Okay. Community, community notes. We got a few here. I want to start.

Just one quick community note to get started here. Sure. Most annoying fan base NHL fan survey. Number one, far and away. Nobody's surprised. by this. Toronto. Next one. Nobody's surprised by this. Montreal. Fourth place.

Hey, you guys are finally high up in the standings on something. I like... Fourth place, fourth most annoying fan base. You know, Calgary? You know why Calgary's... What's position is it? I can't read it. What position is Calgary?

What number is that? They are the least annoying fan base. That's because they're irrelevant. They're so irrelevant. It's not even funny to, so it's not even funny to. That's why they're on the bottom of that. It's because they're not a bunch of duchy. See you later, Calgary, even on the bottom of that, on that pole.

This is actually, this is like golf, Sean. I don't know if you're familiar with this concept or not, but the lowest score is better in this thing that we're talking about right now. You're so irrelevant. You're like Phoenix. They're like maybe we'll just move you to Salt Lake City and we'll boost you a little bit, right? Like nobody cares right now. That's how irrelevant to Calgary flames are.

Now, some other community notes, Aaron Goodvin, Garrett Gregory, June 22nd. That's going to be a Marwain. So that's happening there. May 11th, you got the walk-and-run fundraiser in Turtford, McKenzie Bloom, all proceeds going to the MS Society. A new one,

We got our community notes. We want to help, uh, raise awareness on some of the things happening in our communities and yours as well. So hit us up. And we've been getting a lot of good feedback about the mash spiel. So if you guys have any good ideas, if we applied the mashup model, which doesn't really

apply to this, but the whole idea being, what if we did such and such, but in a way that didn't suck? Bond spills are already awesome. So it's like, well, what would be the best possible bond spiel? Where would it be? What should we do? If you got any bright ideas, hit us up. All right.

105 in the books, twos. We'll see you next week. Folks, thanks for hopping on with us. And we'll catch up to you for 106 next Friday. Awesome. Thanks, Sean.
