Starting point is 00:00:12 Here come the Oilers, Newton Hopkins, into the corner with Tannes. Tannes plays the puck up the board. There's the short in front. Scar! Carter McDavid, the redirected early in the second overtime. The Edmonton Oilers win game one. Shane and Sean, both gritting like idiots. So, everybody in town now thinks that I beat Mrs. Tews.
Starting point is 00:00:50 So we're all walking the dog the other day and just kind of goofing off. And she went to just nudge me into a bush that we were walking by. And then I nudged her back. But she tripped on the grass where the grass comes to the sidewalk. It was raised up. And she fell over. And gets up. We kind of laugh about that.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Screw you. And then she went to go kick me in the butt. But then I moved my leg to block it. And then she tripped and did a face. plant onto the cement. And I'm like, oh shit. And I go and I run towards her and go to help her up. But you know, that like shock of just having fallen over thing, she's like, get the hell
Starting point is 00:01:31 away from me. Just as another couple is walking by with their dog. And so it was this awkward moment. And we're like, okay, well, this looked really bad. And then talking to another neighbor a couple days later, she's like, yeah, so you had a bad spill the other day, hey? I'm like, oh, Jesus. So, yeah, I'm probably seen in the larger community as a serial wife beater.
Starting point is 00:02:00 You know, the best thing, folks, is I don't know if I heard half of that rant because I knew I caught two's off guard today with the Oilers game winner from last night. That's right. We're three games away from the Stanley Cup finals, too. How are those flames doing? Not so great. I know. Oh, really, really. You got, like, honestly, the best player on your team.
Starting point is 00:02:19 is Moderna. It's the only thing they got you through the last round. Mashup 108, folks coming in. We like to get
Starting point is 00:02:29 twos a little tongue tied where he doesn't even know where he's going, where he's coming from. It happens every once in a while. I feel like I've been doing a pretty good job the last couple of weeks of really messing up two's plans.
Starting point is 00:02:39 And that's a lot of fun on this side. So Mashup 108, hope you tuning in from wherever you're at. You're having a great Friday. Today's mashup brought to you by the Parental Rights Tour, featuring the one and only James Lindsay. He's coming back to Alberta 2's.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Bonneville Friday, June 21st, Emmington and Red Deer Saturday, June 22nd, Calgary Sunday, June 23rd. Brooks, Monday, June 24th. And I'll throw the link in the comments so people can go there. If you haven't had a chance to grab your tickets, you can engage with Dr. James Lindsay's powerful insights on countering woke culture and championing parental rights.
Starting point is 00:03:16 So there you go. Get your tickets today. When he came before, he did Calgary and Edmonton. And he gave, from what I understand, different discussions in both of them. So I would say even if you saw him, well, if you saw him before, you probably want to see him again. But as an added thing, it's probably not going to be the same thing he saw last time. Yeah. And the nice thing about, he just finished a new book.
Starting point is 00:03:42 And I got a lot of time for James Lindsay. like he's uh he's very well spoken one of the things i i appreciated about him when he uh spoke in calgary when i saw him is lots of times speakers will overstay their welcome i found he did like a 35 minute uh talk and it was so clean you know like he didn't overstayed he hit his points he had a really good point you know and i'm like yeah i could go watch him again i think that'd be Oh, absolutely. So, yes, he's coming here. Like I say, I'll throw it in the comments again so people can, if they want to go grab tickets,
Starting point is 00:04:18 he's going to be all over the place. Red Deer, Bonneville, Eminton, Calgary, Brooks. So if you're in Alberta in the late stages of June, June 21st to 24th, check out James Lindsay coming to Alberta. All right, mashup 108. Good day, Rocky. Yes, good day, Rocky. Happy Airborne Friday to Jamie Sinclair, the Coots, too. 832s.
Starting point is 00:04:42 The number's climbing. And I'd like to point out that Christopher Carbert, Anthony Olnick, still behind bars. I think that's important to shed a light on. Anything else here before we get rolling with today's show? I'd say let's hit it hard. Cool. Well, we're going to invite in MLA, Shane Getson, MLA, Shane Getson. M.A. Shane, thanks for hopping off.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Hey, and thanks for having us again. guys now twos we got we got some things to bring up let's hit our opening headline shall we yes it's a moist fire okay we're in firefighting season it seems and there's a whole bunch going on here's here's the first the first tweet it says force fires this is barry marine home of the silver streak it's a sign oden bc force fires 70% of them started by man and paid arsoness I think I have one more here if memory doesn't serve me, correct.
Starting point is 00:05:44 We are dealing with wildfires in May. We also have increased levels of drought that are impacting food prices. This is a tweet online. It's not unreasonable to expect politicians to understand the science behind climate change and be transparent on their plans to reduce emissions.
Starting point is 00:05:56 This is in part to one of the tweets shooting out that Pier Poliav safety is committed to the Paris Accords emissions targets. Shane, here in Alberta, you... Another thing here real quick. Oh, sure.
Starting point is 00:06:07 This is from Agriculture, Canada. this is a map of Alberta with drought conditions and if it's kind of too low-res to see it. Lloyd Minster all the way down to Calgary is exceptional drought. In Edmonton, it's severe drought. And then there's a few places where it's only abnormally dry.
Starting point is 00:06:31 I guess Shane, why one of the reasons you're on is we wanted to get your thoughts. You're from the provincial side of this thing. You look at the forest fires and everything going on. We've, you know, town of Accuaries, fires going on by Fort McMurray, all this stuff. What are your thoughts here sitting in Alberta? Obviously, I highly doubt you're going to comment on Canada as a whole,
Starting point is 00:06:51 but certainly here in Alberta. Well, I think you flashed a couple things up there in the first place. So last year at this time, literally three, well, actually it was three counties that I was involved with five were on fire all at the same time. That wasn't Mother Nature. It just wasn't. But 67, 70% of our fires in the province are human cost. You know, whether it's the person going out there dropping the match on purpose or leaving their campfire on purpose or whether it's just absolute gross negligence, that's where it is.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Up in Fort McMurray recently, again, source ignition was a campfire. This stuff has to stop. The 200 fires that we had in the province that were under control, only one of them was caused by Mother Nature. So I recently passed a motion in the house, Motion 505, which basically lessons learned from last year was to dictate the importance of what forest fires are to put them on the scheme level, same level. So when folks are talking about the environment, the biggest number one polluter that we have is forest fires, full stop. You can shut down industry, you can do everything else. It won't make a blip if you don't deal with the forest fire issues. As far as climate change and climate crisis causing this, all you have to do is look at the data in 2020.
Starting point is 00:08:04 We had 3,500 hectares under fire, roll the shot clock forward to last year in forest fire season, 2.5 million hectares. You want to tell me that there was that much of a climactic shift that caused this? That is absolute BS. This is people doing stupid things and they got to stop it. And if they're doing nefarious things, we've got to start throwing them and clamping down on it. Your date, somebody else. So we even had as recent this spring, and I shared it on social as well. by Darwellers, people out there are notching transformer poles, whether they're trying to get
Starting point is 00:08:39 them knocked down on purpose or come back and try to steal copper. Like this stuff is idiotic. So motion 505 recognized the importance of the forest fires on an environmental impact, how much of a cost, impact it was, and compelled, we requested the government to change the Prairie Fires Act. So previously, if I did something that nefarious or untoward or negligent, the most you could find me as a private citizen was $100,000. So some of the darn pickups on the parking lots that you're going to go get them are pushing towards that or put me in jail only up to two years. Like that's it.
Starting point is 00:09:12 So Minister Lohn committed to changing those. The department would be looking at it. As far as everything else, we've got an ad campaign going out there basically saying, don't be stupid because we love you. You know, I'm paraphrasing, but you kind of hit a big red button on me right now. And then as far as folks dealing with things, like we've changing, we're putting in Bill 21. We started to talk about that a little bit of integrating when we can. can jump in and help out versus the old 80s cliche where you have to say it's not my jurisdiction
Starting point is 00:09:38 until it's a problem like that's literally how the MGA was written so now that's going to be phasing in we're trying to get that legislation passed here the next week to make sure that we can be more active on it we've got night fire attack we're the only ones in Canada doing that so the biggest thing is fighting a fire at night when the temperatures down dew points are up it makes it easier to put these things out we've got drones out there that can give you the thermals on it as well and and put people in places where we never had them before, mobilizing crews, getting them out there. We've spent more cash on it.
Starting point is 00:10:06 And quite frankly, we're just taking the bull by the horns and going to deal with it. And you're seeing the results in that. Thankfully, Mother Nature helped us out, but we've got everything in the province under control right now. Every single fire is under control. Yeah. Excellent. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Congratulations. Everybody has to do their part. Like fire smart is real going into some of those areas last year that were burnt out. You know, we've lost homes and houses. The ones that did fire smart around their homes and houses who were still standing, the ones that didn't were cooked right to the ground. Like that was empirical proof for me. So take part in that program, clean up where you can, follow those rules and procedures,
Starting point is 00:10:42 easy stuff, good yard maintenance, etc. It'll save your house. Oh yeah. And don't be stupid. Don't start forest fires because we don't need to have Fort McMurray evacuating or any other place because you didn't put your damn campfire out. Or you went out there and started one and thought it'd be funny. Like this stuff has got to stop enough.
Starting point is 00:10:58 So, well, okay, what kind of penalties would you like to see for, for arson? Well, personally, you know, I'm not going to be political on this one, but put it in context too, is you just mobilize your grandpa and grandma out of the old folks home and they're scared out of their minds of not knowing if they're going to make it through the night or not. What do you think that should be punishable by? So I have honest, answer to the crime. And if I'm looking at causing that much environment, mental impact. Look at how the world screams if you have one duck that sits a tailings pond
Starting point is 00:11:34 and you're talking millions of dollars of fines, but we can have a fire that mobilizes 30,000 people. We lost a couple helicopter pilots. You know, last year there was a gentleman that flew he died. I mean, look at the cause of offense. We've got $895 million. We threw this thing. We put aside $1.5 billion. Like what would I like to see? I would like to see it right up there with what this thing is. People that are doing this on purpose, that you get their hides nail to the in the most expeditious manner possible with the extent of the law other than nailing their hide to the wall. This has to be punishable that suits the crime. I think we're hoping for that on a lot of different fronts on this.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Next headline twos, and then we'll let our MLA, Mr. Shane gets an honor. You want more? Well, I was just thinking he might want to chime. The next thing we have is the Oilers after that. Oh, you want them for two. He was gritting like a Cheshire cat during the intro. So he may be interested in offering his opinion on that as well. Sure, sure.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Okay. Stick around for the next two, Shane, and then we'll let you get out of here. We don't want to hold you here all morning. Tuse, what do you got for us next? The United Chicanery Party.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Alberta, this is a Western Standard headline. Alberta Daniel Smith gave her close friend, David Yeager, a third sole source contract, the $136,000 contract from the Executive Council of Alberta, was awarded for professional services. Quote, simply put, this is Tory Lans
Starting point is 00:13:02 in Alberta, NDP, MLA, Samir Kiyandi in a Wednesday statement. This is a return to the corruption, cronianism, arrogance, and entitlement that Alberta's voted out and that Daniel Smith and Brian Jean campaigned against until they got their hands in power. It went on
Starting point is 00:13:19 to explain more of it. And then on the flip side, Calgary Herald put in the background, the UCP is building a sovereign Alberta in a way government has never done before. They've laying the foundation brick by brick for ground up preparing the province of Quebec-like for the fullest degree of independence possible. Shane, you're right in the middle of it. The chicanery of sole-soultz contracts is probably where we want to start.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Yeah, so two is what's your background? Where did you work? What do you do? I spent pretty much my whole career in oil and gas. Okay. Did you ever name hire anybody? Actually, no. You never have?
Starting point is 00:14:01 No. No, I've been vetoed a couple times. In my world prior life. Yes, it happens quite a lot. Yeah, so in my world prior life, like when you're looking at bids or proposals, you're also looking at the supervisory staff. So who you have as a superintendent, who are your lead form and who is your project manager on it, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Because you know when you bring those folks in, they're going to bring the crews that work with you. When you have a hot shot crane operator or somebody you can trust when you're doing rigging and hooking things up that's not going to cause any safety problems, or even when you're looking at truck drivers that are they going to show up on time and do the thing, or you're looking at that lead, you typically name hire and then you build the rest of the team around them. So let's put it in context. Number one, sole sourcing is not untoward in other industries, and nor is this not something that happens in government when you're picking certain positions. Do I think that if you abuse it? Absolutely, there is a problem.
Starting point is 00:14:55 no question, but three bids and a buy doesn't technically work or always work when you're trying to get the best person for the job. So the first one is, are they qualified? Absolutely. The second one is you can trust them to do what you want. Like in government, this is the problem that we've had for years. A lot of that stuff has been happening behind the scenes or otherwise, and now we've got the deck loaded that is against us. We've got a chance to click the AAR, do the right things, get the industry going with an industry expert that also is favorable and wants to work with us. If there's There was ever a time to get somebody in there that you wanted that would know what happened. Look in the contrast, not to be a politician, but look in the contrast to the NDP assigned.
Starting point is 00:15:33 A guy that was from the Sierra Corp. A government shut down the entire friggin industry and then another one ran a Ponzi scheme inside that had to get flushed out. So are we going to hire somebody that makes sense that we can trust that will help us get this thing going where it needs to? That we have confidence in that runs a major antity of us at arm length that you need that trust? Yeah. So there's my Lithmus test inside. I've named hiring before. I brought in people.
Starting point is 00:15:56 I built teams around it and had successful projects. That's the same thing we've got to do in some of these key positions. That's my opinion. Okay. I'm with you. This is, so actually, just quick aside,
Starting point is 00:16:08 when you guys were talking last week and Sean was saying that I shouldn't be talking to you about that stuff. I wasn't saying that. I said you needed to be really careful because you would have made one hell of a great cult leader if you'd have wanted to go in that direction because you're a horribly convincing guy. Now, here's what I would say to this, though, is that when it comes to things of that nature, it makes a bid process easy and simple. Because you just say, okay, well, you know what, David Yeager, I mean, the guy has been, the guy has been front and center in oil and gas since before I was alive. Okay. And so you just say, we want the best guy.
Starting point is 00:16:49 And then it goes out for bed. And then he gets it because that's how it's weighted. It makes it extremely simple and for a little bit of, of an extra time. I think it shouldn't be that big of an ask, really. And I mean, you know, I'm going to. Okay, so how much time do I have? Like here's part of the challenge guys in full well, right? Like you hold us to high regard or not, to public scrutiny all the time.
Starting point is 00:17:19 You want us to execute on these things that are very near and dear to you. realistically, I got two years left. If I go out for every single bid at every single time, how long does a bid process take? Six to seven months? So part of it, I'm up against the wall. When we've got to execute and make changes, and again, coming back to my prior world,
Starting point is 00:17:38 the same thing, I've got a shutdown. I've only got so long to put this together. I'm picking my contractors, but when I'm looking at that bid sheet, I'm looking at the contractor and I'm also looking at who they bring to the table. You can have the best bid, but if you don't have the right people to execute,
Starting point is 00:17:50 your project fails. So we're literally in a time crunch to make these things happen, and we need to keep moving the ball downfield. So in this circumstance, to your own admission, this guy's been around forever, he is kind of the guru in this area. It's a foregone conclusion. He's getting the friggin' job. Let's move on with it.
Starting point is 00:18:08 I'm okay with a name hire in these type of circumstances. If it was contracts going out for, I don't know, road building, if it was going out for a ton of those other things, three bids and a friggin' buy, absolutely. But when you're bringing in leadership to make cultural, changes and to make sure that you're getting those mandates meet within those timelines sometimes you've got to do it no different than aHS had to had to move on that one as well change out that board put somebody in there that we could trust to make sure that they would execute because when
Starting point is 00:18:35 you need cultural changes you need people in those areas that you can trust to make it happen okay one other thing i might add and you feel free to just completely decline to comment but i don't know what the heck you guys were thinking put in brian jean in front of talking to the press about this because saying the NDP did it too is not a great argument because I mean if we wanted the NDP we would have voted them in yeah so part of it is not putting him in front of the press it happens in question period and literally you've got the question's thrown at you and you've got 30 seconds to answer it that's really what comes down to so part of the the politics of it is that and especially this dude which I find pretty funny the little fellow that's newly elected
Starting point is 00:19:19 I don't see anything on to a ward, but his credibility is about as good as a wet piece of toilet paper off the bottom of your shoe coming out of the can. The guy is totally wanting to shut down the industry. Totally is against everything else. One of the most socialist guys you want out there. And you know how they operate? So when you're having individuals like that question you and you're looking right across from the people that frigginer threw us all under the bus. He'd have to be a couple rows up for you to be looking at. Those are the ones you're answering to.
Starting point is 00:19:48 So sometimes does it get heated? And regardless of who says it, like, heaven forbid, if I ever have to answer questions and question periods, you'll see lots of headlines. Because it's at that point, right? So by the way, we've hired one of the best people. You guys hired somebody that drove into their ground, tried to shut down the industry and was running a Ponzi scheme. So don't be pointing fingers at us when we get somebody that's highly qualified. Okay. We got to keep the show rolling as they say twos.
Starting point is 00:20:16 Oilers are the best. twos or what? You know how I know this is not a twos headline? You're going to light up nine wives for you. You know how I know this is not a two's headline, folks. You can tell. I may have forced his hand on this stuff.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Oilers sucked it. Do, do, do, do it do. We're both trying to pause it at the same time and we keep going. Okay. Well, I'm the one who found this, to be fair. To be fair. Tews did find this. Tuesday did find the picture.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Okay. What do you have to say Tuesday? I don't know what to say. I thought it was funny. At the end of the day. I mean, really, I feel like you're on a very limited window to be able to talk about them in the playoffs. So, you know, just in terms of trying to be nice to my co-host here, I want to give them as much of a chance as possible. I want to be very clear here, folks.
Starting point is 00:21:23 He's not trying to be nice. At one point in time, he wouldn't put his money where his mouth was. And that was saying they couldn't beat the L.A. Kings. And then when I pushed him on it, he wouldn't. That's because I didn't think they were good. He just lost everything. And on and on it goes, we're up game one. Shane, what did you think the game last night?
Starting point is 00:21:37 Quick. I know, for some, it's popcorn in theater, and they go, what are we talking about the Oilers for? You know, sometimes it's just nice to have something delightful to talk about that isn't darkness and everything else. And the Oilers winning last night, die-hard Oilers fan since I was knee-high. I was quite happy to see them pull that out.
Starting point is 00:21:57 After a four-minute penalty, you had to start the the freaking overtime off. That was quite difficult to watch. No, honestly, it's whether it's the bread and the Roman circus or otherwise, I don't really care. Like, you know, people get into those the weeds in the corners.
Starting point is 00:22:11 This is something that Alberta can get behind, should get behind. It's Alberta's team. It's Canada's team right now, you guys. And I was proudly wearing, excuse me, Speaker Cooper gave us a little bit of latitude in the house. I was probably wearing my MESSIA jersey yesterday.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Harner even, who's a Calgary fan, one of the guards there, Fred. gave him his personal autograph, Mark Macya, jersey that wore in the house. And he's, Horner is a Calgary fan. It was itching him and everything else, but I shot him a note and said, hey, brother, you started something now? This is playoff fever. You've got to wear that every question period.
Starting point is 00:22:44 I'll wear my mask jersey. You wear yours. We're going to keep the thing going. So I was really stoked about it. And even the opposition is wearing oilers jerseys. It makes it a little bit easier. It brings things together. You know, give them some credit for doing something right.
Starting point is 00:22:58 You know it's a big deal when the NDP are finally getting behind it. It's the only time they're pro-oil. Exactly. Except that little killer from the last statement, he would still not be wearing anything with oil on it. The last time the Oilers and the Flames met in the playoffs a couple of years ago, Darryl Sutter said something that has stuck with me a long time. He'd mentioned three things that bring people together,
Starting point is 00:23:24 and he mentioned obviously sports is one of those three. and you see it every time a Canadian team starts doing well, right? Is the, you know, the country kind of rallies behind them, maybe minus, sorry, Leaves fans, maybe minus the Leafs, there seems to be some hatred there. There's hatred for the oil as well, who am I kidding? But it is pretty cool to watch, you know, like when we're so divided, there are certain things that seem to break through the division. And of course, Daryl Sutter had mentioned music, sports, and church.
Starting point is 00:23:55 and I added one into that and that was comedy. For the most part, I think those four things, people seem to leave some things at the door and be able to come in and enjoy it together, which is, you know, in a world we're in right now, seems far and few between on most subjects. So get on the bandwagon, too, is quit being such a wetline.
Starting point is 00:24:16 I think I'm probably going to be a stick in the mud for a while on this. Hey, Shane, thank you. You got to get me out of the cult, I understand. Shane, thanks for hopping on. giving us some thoughts today and appreciate you giving us time. Always good. I appreciate us. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:24:32 All right, Tuesday, that was, and the audience for that matter. That was MLA, Shane Getson hopping on here. Mashup 108. Of course, boilers up one, nothing. I don't know if I'm going to get, finally, I'm not going to get tired of saying that. Justin finally tells the truth. This is a video where he literally says, we've started another wildfire season. Now, he's he's apologizing to Americans, and he basically says, we've started, it's a Freudian slip, right?
Starting point is 00:25:02 But, I mean, honestly, coming up with change is said, you're like, yeah. Yeah. Well, that's exactly it, right? Sorry, are you expecting me to show that clip? No, yes, maybe. I didn't have it pulled up. Okay. Well, anyways, yeah, he's standing there at a press conference.
Starting point is 00:25:20 He's in Philadelphia right now. Oh, that's a lie. That's a lie. I do have it here. Sorry, folks. I guess I do have it. Here, let's see if we can't, let's see if we can't get it. There we go.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Whether there's the impacts of climate change, we've already started another wildfire season in Canada. So I apologize in advance. We've already started. There you go. Yes. Classic Trudeau. Accidentally saying the quiet parts out loud. This is all at the same time as there was UCLA.
Starting point is 00:25:57 study from the school of law, uh, school law of Williams Institute. A new report by Williams Institute of U.S. I say that same sex couples are a greater risk of experience. Their adverse effects of climate change. So there's that stuck in there as well. Maybe because they all live in San Francisco and Vancouver.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Possible. Unionizing made easy. Okay, there's multiple articles here. Um, first premier Wob Canoe promise to make unionization easier in Manitoba. Then federally. What we're talking about are people, people that work in Canada, people that deserve to work in fair, well-compensated safe spaces, and the union movement is critical to ensuring that happens in our country.
Starting point is 00:26:40 That was Hadoo. Supporters of the secret ballot system say they're talking about secret ballot systems, folks. Supporters of the secret ballot system say it prevents unions from pressuring workers into signing cards, while supporters of the card check system, say it prevents employers from pressures, pressuring workers ahead of the vote. This all in turn, while Justin Trudeau. tweeted out. I sat down with the VP Harris in the convention of Philly and we're here because we believe in unions because of our 25 plus year cross-border unions
Starting point is 00:27:10 that we keep raising the bar for workers in Canada in the United States. So there's a lot of talk. One of the big differences between Canadian and US unions, two big ones that the conservatives actually shored up and then they were among the first things repealed by the liberals was that there are secret ballots for it. So you don't have to sign
Starting point is 00:27:30 the way it works in Canada is you have to sign your name onto it saying yes or no to unions. Now, democracy, you know, as far as human civilization go, is a fairly new thing. But one of the things that's fairly intrinsic to it is secret ballots. And the unions were mad about it because they said, oh, it's going to bust up all our unions. and if a secret ballot is the only, our lack of secret ballot is the only thing holding your stuff together, it's probably not that good to begin with. And the fact that Trudeau said he, like, it was Bill 4, I think.
Starting point is 00:28:11 It was one of the first things the liberals did was repeal that. It's absolutely insane. And then he's here talking to these different unions, but they exist under a completely different set of rules. It's totally apples and oranges. Trump the tyrant. this is Toronto Star says don't cozy up to your neighbor if he is a dictator Japan and Europe learn this lesson but not Canada we are woefully unprepared for Donald Trump winning in
Starting point is 00:28:39 November if elected Trump said he would become a dictator for a day is what they're quoting a mass a dictator for a day that's not really much of a dictator to be honest and it's just a whole lot of scaremongering about how evil Trump is and how scary Trump is and really when you think about it, they don't follow any of this stuff to the logical conclusion. The big problem that Europe had with cozying up to the dictator Putin is that they didn't have energy independence. Really, if the person writing this article actually followed their thought process along a logical progression, they would get to Canada should have more oil and gas and better set up to export it without having to go through the states.
Starting point is 00:29:24 And everything that we've been advocating for is the stuff that they're asking for if they actually think this process through, which they don't because they're idiots. Regina being Regina. A call to rename one of Regina's longest and most recognizable roads is headed to City Hall. Ward 3 counselor Andrew Stevens, Ward 6 counselor, Dan LeBlanc, have issued a notice of motion they intend to bring forward at Wednesday's council meeting to rename Dutney Avenue. The road is named after Edgar Dutney and the counselor say his legacy is a harmful one for indigenous people. And last year, counsel unanimously agreed to develop. I thought this was important to note at the bottom of the article. An indigenous framework as a commitment to reconciliation, according to the notice. The framework is not yet developed, but it involves centering indigenous values and priorities. and the city's practices, policies and procedures. And Stephen and LeBlanc added the honoring Edgar Doudney's inconsistent with the commitment to reconciliation. Edmonton's doing this right now.
Starting point is 00:30:30 You've got Young Square in Toronto. Ottawa, I think, is doing some more of this. How much money does it cost? Like, really, and this is all the fault of the Oilers. They're the ones who started this crap when they renamed capital. Palano Drive. Like, oh, well, let's just call it Wayne Gretzky, Crescent or whatever the hell it was,
Starting point is 00:30:58 instead of Capulano, okay? The Oilers started this BS, and now it continues, and it's gone out of control. The majority of our issues in this country rest of the Euler's. I was wondering where you're going with that. Okay, sure, sure. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Well, they were basically, it was basically the first big street renaming. Renaming the street after the greatest hockey player of all time somehow is in line with tearing down statues and trying to get rid of all of Canadian history because it's based in racism and everything else. That is somehow Wayne Grexie. That was the first domino. I feel like I'm going to go back to this.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Hughes isn't idiot. You know, he's calling out writers and telling them they should follow their logic. Well, okay, have fun with that. Toos. Co-vindication! NIH Senior Advisor, Dr. David Murnes, improperly conducted official government business from his private email account and solicited help from the NIH's Freedom of Information Act,
Starting point is 00:32:09 office to Dodge Records request, according to emails revealed in a memo by the House Select Subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic. Quoted, there is no worry about F-O-I-A's. I can either send stuff to Tony on his private, he's talking about Fauci, on his private, like I need to even say that, on his private Gmail or hand it to him at work at his house.
Starting point is 00:32:30 Morins wrote in an April 21, April 21, 2021 email, he is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble. Also, we are all smart enough to know to never have smoking guns. And if we did, we wouldn't put them in emails. and if we found them, we delete them, read a June 16th, 2020 email,
Starting point is 00:32:49 send just two months after EcoHealth's Wuhan Grant was initially suspended. Whatever could be a smoking gun in this whole COVID stuff. Could there be a smoking gun? Why would they even be talking about smoking guns, Sean? Oh, they're safe and effective. Everything's safe and effective, Toos. Doing everything but being cops.
Starting point is 00:33:12 And you know what, Tuesday, you got the picture of this. I actually don't know if I have the picture of it. Oh, I do, I do. I do. Here, here it is. Okay, there it is. Okay, folks. Today, the RCMP officially announced that addition of a ribbon skirt to the RCMP uniform, the ribbon skirt along with our eagle feather and Métis sash demonstrate the RCMP's value of reconciliation,
Starting point is 00:33:34 equity, diversity, and inclusion. Okay. Have you ever noticed how the RCMP have those weird baggy hips on the pants? sure yes okay they they all kind of flare out like a like a pixar mom okay it's to help you it's it's because the material doesn't really stretch and it it helps you when you're riding a horse what do you think a full leg skirt is going to do on a conventional western saddle like they just they don't think any of this through. It's just, well, what can we do that's really nice
Starting point is 00:34:16 and maybe just like a bullshit puff PR piece? This is the, this is just classic Trudeau. This is making a large virtue signal that has absolutely no real world ramifications is completely impractical in real life and accomplishes nothing other than getting in front of social media and telling everybody how awesome you are for being inclusive. Tell me I'm wrong.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Well, I got nothing against the skirt or any of it. The history, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But I just want cops to be cops. I don't think that's too much to ask. Especially, you know, you listen to the fire, the arsons, the on and on and on. I mean, just the other day here in Lloydminster, I was getting told a story about having video footage of someone break into a trailer, steal everything. It's on video. Great video.
Starting point is 00:35:12 Showed it to the cops. They're like, oh, yeah. that's Mike we know who that is like okay yeah we can't really do much about it but he's he's literally on video and you know who this guy is yes he's done it before and you know where he is yes we know that
Starting point is 00:35:28 you're like how about we just like cops be cops I don't know that's that's my thought this is how you encourage vigilantism by the way yes I I because that guy his buddies one of them has a trailer and Mike tries to do it
Starting point is 00:35:44 it again. Mike's going to get the shit kicked out of him at the very least. Correct. CBC hires CBC. Seven multimedia experts have been selected to advise heritage minister Pascal Saint-Ange as she renews the role of Canada's public broadcaster. The group will provide advice mainly on CBC Radio Canada's governance, funding, and Canadian heritage. The Canadian heritage said, the department says that consultation on the CBC's mandates have already been conducted with the general public. I find that laughable.
Starting point is 00:36:18 I also find it laughable that majority of the people hired here. And I'm going to bring up the, uh, there, there you go. Okay. CEO of CTV5, uh, chair of Canadian Council for the Arts, uh, indigenous screen office. Uh, that's one of the ladies, uh, press and former head of CBC News is helping out CBC Radio 3, the executive producer like on and on it goes. It's like, these are all the exact. same people who were steering
Starting point is 00:36:46 these various ships as they crashed into the rocks. These are, this should be a list of the last seven people on the fucking planet that you want doing this. How are the worst qualified people? Make the CDC the exact
Starting point is 00:37:02 same. I have an idea. Let's go the higher seven people who have been just steering the ship straight into the iceberg. You know, let's just, this is ram into it. Because you look at the list and you're like, I'm, oh, sure. I assume. some of these people are probably You know who should have been on that list?
Starting point is 00:37:17 I don't know. The mashup? Yes, sure. Obviously. Blacklocks. Yeah. Canadian Taxpayers Federation. I was going to say some guy named Bill Johnsonerson from Leduc and some farmer named Frank
Starting point is 00:37:34 from just outside of Prince Albert. That too. Right? Like that's, those are the people that you want who say, well, you know what? I haven't looked at this forever because you guys are fucking irrelevant. If we were going to fix this, what would actually interest you? Can you imagine if you woke up one morning and the CBC says, listen, we went out through the countryside. We pulled the country.
Starting point is 00:37:59 Help us. Pardon the French, but we did. And then they're like, the list of people we got helping is Chris Sims, is Tom Corsky. Now, to some, they might go, who the heck is that? sitting here I go now you got my attention we got this guy named twos he won't give us his real identity
Starting point is 00:38:18 and wears a box on his head yeah we can't even write him a check all of a sudden there'd be some buzz for the old CBC instead it's more of the same absolutely so ren March 14 says same thing happens in Bonneville
Starting point is 00:38:35 this is about the police it's the justice system that doesn't keep them in jail so the cops don't bother anymore bonnyville's a person perfect example. You look at what happened to Alfred Wagner, just a farmer, a bunch of people, or a brother and sister, come on to his property just to steal his truck, kill him. And one had no time and the other one was out 13 months later. And just tagging on to Bonneville, the next one's Wainwright. I've heard out of Wainwright, it's the same way. I'm sure if people want to comment, they can talk about their areas.
Starting point is 00:39:08 But it sounds like it's out of control all over the place. It's ubiquitous. it's goddamned everywhere. Liberals being liberals. So I don't know if you do you want to show the video. I don't even know if I kept the video. Give us a quick rundown of what was said, but what and why. So they're attacking Pierre Poliyev over not coming out hard on Kathy Wagonthal, but basically private members bills about abortion.
Starting point is 00:39:37 Okay. So the conservatives allow you to be pro-life, pro-choice. I would argue with that sentiment because it feels like they say that, but they don't actually do anything. But hey, that's just me. Anyways, this lady who's a liberal MP, comes out and gets questioned on it and then gets pushed back on it from the, from the presser. From the legacy media.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Yeah, saying like, what did more do you? David Aiken, you could hear his voice in there. And there's lots of stuff that we've been saying for a while. And it's too bad because this video is probably like three and a half minutes long or something like that. But it's good. Find it. check it out and watch it.
Starting point is 00:40:13 So she says, one of the things she quotes back to him is, I've been in the woman's movement for 50 years, 50 years, we're not going back. And she kind of loses a little bit of her top. And then the next lady loses her top is, you don't want to legislate a woman's ovaries.
Starting point is 00:40:27 Because one of the questionnaires asked about, well, maybe you should just put it in legislation. It's a woman's body and you can't do anything about it. She fires off on that, too. Liberals not being too happy about getting questioned about their pushback on Pierre Polia. So here's, yeah, so for the past 10, 15 years, they've had this as an easy win.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Whenever they're trailing in the polls or whenever they need to beat somebody or whatever else, they say that the conservatives are going to ban abortions. And the obvious question is, is if you've been in charge for a decade, why don't you just codify it so that that's no longer an issue? And the thing about it is, is that it's more important for them to have it as a potential issue, excuse me, that they can use to win voters, then it is for them to actually do what they think is right and correct. And that's basically what we've been saying for years.
Starting point is 00:41:20 And now the legacy media is just finally saying, okay, well, you know what? This seems kind of silly that you leave this on the table this whole time. Why are you doing this? And then you get these bullshit answers and them just floundering because they're not used to. Nobody from the media is pushed back. on them in a decade. And so it's just completely out of
Starting point is 00:41:42 left field for them. Now, it is worth noting, however, that the media has literally been our enemies for at least this past decade and them seeing the winds of change and trying not to flip. It's interesting. It's interesting.
Starting point is 00:41:58 That doesn't mean that they're that doesn't mean they're not our enemies. It just means that they're duplicitous assholes. It's interesting. All right. Oh, and then Rocky says he was born in Bonneville. I'm sorry to hear that. I have spent a lot of time.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Well, I mean, I even said, Mr. News about the whole James Lindsay thing. I said, they're going to Bonneville. Should we go up and see it? She's like, I'm not driving that far.
Starting point is 00:42:22 I have literally made that drive hundreds of times. Yeah. Okay. Tews is getting sidetracked, folks. Okay, Freeland is not all right. We're going to show the video. We don't need the,
Starting point is 00:42:36 I don't think we need the volume, Dewey Toes. I think you just need to, you just need to watch her reactions to as the reporter's talking. It just goes through all these different, you know, vacant head nods. And she's looking all concerned, like comically concerned. And then, oh, and it's, she's basically just cycling through a bunch of YouTube thumbnail faces. This whole time as, as the questions go on and she's twitching and she's nodding and she's bobbing and she's flipping her head around.
Starting point is 00:43:08 everything else like that. And this seems to have been getting worse as time progresses. Over the past year, maybe year and a half, you started seeing it a little bit. And now this just sort of, she's looking crazier and crazier every single day. Sean. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:43:30 I think she's just crazy from day one. And we're just starting to pick up on it. It's just starting to physically manifest. Yeah, like to me, I'm not big on it. I'm not big on attacking a person for who they, like, you know, like, so she's got weird quirks. They've been there since the beginning. Something's not right there. You think there's more to it than that.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Well, okay. Now, to be clear, I don't think it's drugs or anything like that. Because if she was popping a bunch of pills. It could be. Or doing a bunch of cocaine. Could be. That dress would be fitting properly by now, okay? I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:44:06 But she is not right. But I don't think Christy Freeland's been right for a very long time, right? Like, I mean, come on. This isn't something brand new. She's been looking like that for quite some time. Yes, but it's the weird thing. It's escalating. Well, let's keep an eye on it.
Starting point is 00:44:23 How about we just keep an eye on it? And we'll see if we agree. It's like, you know, it's, what's that thing where the guy in Boondock Saints had it? The bartender, where he's all twitchy and just swears all the time. Somebody who's a Boondock Saint or watcher. Try it in. It doesn't say what it is. but, you know, where he just kind of just randomly swears.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Tourette's? Yes. Yes. You think she has Tourette's. I want to see. I don't know who I'm looking at over here. I'm imagining the audience is like sitting around me right now, because I know they're watching this life.
Starting point is 00:44:57 I want to see this progression to the point where just in the middle of, well, what do you think, Minister Freeland about the current state of the economy and blah, blah, blah. And then she's just like, well, you know, thank you for that it's rigged. Fuck ass. question. So that you want a South Park episode on this? South Park, we just gave you a great idea. On to the next one,
Starting point is 00:45:18 two's hate crimes or hate crime. And we hate crime. A high school in Northern Ontario had its pride flag, ripped from its poll and set on fire early this month and what provincial police are calling a hate crime. I don't really know if I need to explain any more than that. That's what happened. Except the fact that it's important enough to spread across the whole country
Starting point is 00:45:37 and do a big press release on it and how serious it is and how they're investigating it. Do you think Mike, who broke into that trailer, got the same treatment? Well, obviously not. And I would say it's, you know, like, it's, the temperature is increasing. The harder they try and force this down everyone's throats, this is going to increase, not decrease, right? Are they trying to shove a lot of gay stuff down your throat, Sean? Well, that came out the wrong way, but you get my point.
Starting point is 00:46:08 and listen, ripping down a flag and burning it and on and on and on. It's people are getting fed up. They don't, and they don't know how better to express themselves. And nobody's listening. The government ain't listening.
Starting point is 00:46:22 And so here we sit to, I don't know where this goes. All I know is... Digilantism, basically. Well, it just, it doesn't get better until the government starts listening to the people. And are they going to do that?
Starting point is 00:46:35 I don't know about that. Probably not. Okay. So remember a few weeks ago when we covered that whole where the government paid an ungodly amount of money to have a bunch of hunters go in and shoot a bunch of animals? Here's our update. Mike Hunt.
Starting point is 00:46:55 Great headline. Okay. Parks Canada has earmarked $12 million for its controversial plan to eradicate a deer species and restore native vegetation on Italian in British Columbia. You know, the animal lovers are going to think the controversy is by exterminating some deer, okay? But here's Frank of Tarasana, quote.
Starting point is 00:47:15 It's hard to imagine how Parks Canada could spend millions shooting deer. Here's the kicker. Hunters who actually live on the island are bagging these deer for free. The 12 million fur to forest program is a Parks Canada effort to eradicate the European follow deer population on Sydney Island and restore native vegetation free from seedings and shrubs and yada, yada, yada. So far, Parks Canada has employed exotically expensive hunting techniques, okay? Foreign sharpshooters armed with restrictive semi-automatic rifles hunted the deer during phase one of the operations.
Starting point is 00:47:46 Phase one cost more than $800,000, including $67,000 spent renting a helicopter for a hit to taxpayers of $10,000 ahead on the deer. The expert marksman from the United States and New Zealand only managed to kill 84 deer. 18 were the wrong kind of deer, native blacktailed deer. They weren't able to confirm the species of three other deer that were shot. How many times was that deer shot that you can't tell what species it was? Imagine shooting a muley so much that it looks like a white tail. Meanwhile, the residents of Sydney Island organized their own hunt last fall, and they killed 54 deer at no cost.
Starting point is 00:48:27 It's like, part of me is so frustrated by this. Part of me is like, how do I get that? Can me and Tuse be in the helicopter? can we film it and can we just go blast some deer. Well, here's the thing is they got these. They flew these sharps. Imagine no award winning. Imagine telling the CBC, go back to an early article Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:48:48 Be like, listen, you guys want to save the CBC, give twos and me a helicopter. A helicopter with guns. And we're going to go eradicate our own guns. We're going to televise this. We're going to record it. We're going to create a little documentary. We're going to have some fun. People would tune in for that.
Starting point is 00:49:03 Even if it wasn't me, if it was Marty up north and somebody, I'd tune into that because I'd be like this is going to be cool. Imagine Chuck Prodnick in the in the in the helicopter flying around just they get these sharp shooters and they get back and be like what type of deer was that? I don't know. It doesn't matter. We're going to kill all the deer. We're going to take we're going to take two of the deer that we want to keep.
Starting point is 00:49:25 We're going to move them off the island. We're going to keep them in a nice pen and we're going to kill every last fucking deer on this island. And then we'll just reintroduce a couple of the ones that we moved out of the way for safekeeping. Okay. but they flew marksmen from all over the world. Canada's got some of the best marketing. We can pay Morgan Freeman to narrate this thing and have a budget for that.
Starting point is 00:49:47 And he could add it a little comedy to it. Take it out of the CBC bonuses. Oh, man. And all of a sudden you got a masterpiece. You got an absolute masterpiece. All right, comets are flying in. All right, there's an old saying, fish die from the head down.
Starting point is 00:50:06 I have no idea what that means. So let's move on. Update. Loophole. Yeah, I just highlighted this because I read the article. It's going back to this loophole thing where the, you know, the conservatives are spending money to fly across the country. And they're tagging in them with that so they can get their supposed. And I'm just like, what do you want to talk about?
Starting point is 00:50:29 Okay. So you got Mark Gerritsen, who's a liberal member of parliament in Kingston and is also a vapid. idiot saying he's trying to call on the government to close this loophole to make these changes so that it doesn't happen anymore. Okay. You've been riding the hog on this for a decade. And now that you're a year away from being voted out, you're like, okay, well, yeah, now, now that I'm about to lose my job, let's get rid of some of the ridiculous benefits.
Starting point is 00:51:01 And also, why is he calling on the government to do it when he is the government? He's looking for a comment for me. I'm like this loophole thing is just... And speaking of unsurious politicians. The NDP are not a serious party, if you didn't know that already. The Alberta NBP is now a Calgary dominated party, they say. Nearly half the party's membership ahead of the June leadership vote is Calgarian,
Starting point is 00:51:32 according to the writing by writing breakdown of the party's 85,000 members. That compares with only one quarter of members... Oh, that compares with only one quarter of members from Eminton while the rest hail from outside the two majority cities. Okay, I'm going to pop up your screen and I want you to scroll down to the pie chart. And this came, this was referenced in a tweet by Dwayne Bratt, who we talk about every once in a while for advertising himself as being nonpartisan polysci. And he talks about this in-depth analysis done by the CBC. Here it is.
Starting point is 00:52:06 There's one pie chart. This is the in-depth analysis. There's one pie chart divided into three regions, and this is how low the bar has become for the CBC, is that this is the in-depth analysis. Now, the question it doesn't even pause it in this article is how many people are not in the least bit interested in the NDP as a viable party, and they just want to have a say in picking who the leader is,
Starting point is 00:52:36 because they want the worst possible leader, okay? Or they want somebody who's not going to win even more than they already don't win. And you had the other, you had that exact same discussion happening during the UCP leadership race where they're like, oh, look at how many leaderships we've sold. And then you had all these pundits saying, well, you know what? I mean, it's not so much that people support the party. It's that they want to have a say in who the leader becomes. and now when it's the exact same thing
Starting point is 00:53:08 but with the socialist idiots they seem to forget that whole side of the argument De smog the news and I'm looking for my tweets It's the de smog article Basically Pierre Pollyev Oh yeah that's the other one from the NDP
Starting point is 00:53:33 So NEP put out While drag meat sing and new Democrats are using the powers to help Canadians Pierre Poliav is trying to cut services And make his ultra wealthy culprit friends richer than there's a picture of Pierre saying CEOs first, well, Singh says working people first. Now, by definition, just for anybody unclear on this, by the very definition of it, a CEO is a working person. Fair.
Starting point is 00:54:04 The NDP are not a serious party. Okay, but getting back to desmog the news. So somebody broke down, and they really stretched in this when you get into the article, but they were speaking about how Pierre Pollyav has. voted against climate change 400 times since he became a member of parliament. Are you not going to pull the art? You got nothing to say about it? I have no idea what you're talking about,
Starting point is 00:54:33 which means I either missed this article or twos added it in late in the game because I have no idea what you're talking about. It was in from a couple days ago. Okay, so they talked about how he. Then Sean glazed over it. He didn't vote for more regulations, where Canada has the most stringent regulations in the world. world already are more of them good or bad? Are they going to help? All they're going to do is
Starting point is 00:54:56 just shut shit down. They talked about how he didn't vote for having more autonomy in certain situations with with First Nations groups. Is that against climate change? And so this whole thing is it's like the 97% of scientists agree idea where they're like, how can we twist this to get the numbers up as high as goddamn possible. And D-Smog, by the way, is founded by a guy who's been on the Suzuki Foundation board since 2007, I think.
Starting point is 00:55:31 So do you really want to put a lot of credibility into this article? I feel like one of the audiences, one of the people in the audience right now. I'm like, I don't even know what the hell we're talking about. Welcome to being on the mashup, folks. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:55:47 Well, here. Did you read this one? Did you read this one, Sean? Pliyev is super cereal scary. I don't know, did I? No, and I'm like, I, you know, I'm like, where's two's taking me? Where's two's taking me? We've got a whole bunch of, I don't know, should we just pause for a minute?
Starting point is 00:56:07 God damn it. This is what I got up next, dudes. Sellot Singh. No, no, no, no. Okay. So, no, no. This, so you've got this guy named Clay Thompson, some random liberal, saying Pierre Pollyab would sell.
Starting point is 00:56:20 Canada one thing at a time. Dismantle every social program. Cater to the top 10% ignore climate change, destroy our constitution and charter, abolish abortion, abolish bail, do nothing for low-income Canadians. It's the Reform Party way. Wake up. Personally, if Pollyev ran on that platform, I would actually vote conservative. Okay. And then Pierre tweeted sellout saying talking about inflation and how maybe it's because your brother's company is a Metro's top lobbyist. And then some other random liberal guy saying sellout saying now Pierre Pollyev has descended into full-blown Trumpism, petty name calling. It's not the behavior of a statesman.
Starting point is 00:57:04 It's not befitting of a person that wants to lead, unite, or represent our country. So everybody is just trying to paint him as being the evilest, scariest, worst person you could ever possibly imagine. Instead of just being like, he's just a bureaucrat that does whatever polls good, the same as all the other ones. I kind of feel like, you know, a Calgary Flames fan when we start
Starting point is 00:57:29 talking playoffs. It's like playoffs? I don't know. Okay, well, I mean, if you started reading the articles, it might go a little better. We stand on guard. Oh, bless you, twos. Thank you, Rocky. We stand.
Starting point is 00:57:47 Oh, sorry. You stand on guard next to the charging station. As Canada's National Police Service, the RC&P falls under Ottawa's greening government strategy, a commitment to lower the environmental footprint of the federal government, and get to net zero by net new zero emissions by 2050. The strategy calls on the RCMP to replace as many of their approximately 12,000 cars and trucks with zero emission vehicles as operationally possible by 2035 dues.
Starting point is 00:58:13 And in the article, the RCMP officers literally quoted as saying, yeah, we're going to have some problems like, you know, it's got a sunroof and we got dangerous criminals in the back. That is a start. A glass sunroof that goes into the back.
Starting point is 00:58:27 Like, have you ever been in the back of a cop car, folks? It's, you know, you're not getting out of it for the most part, right? Like it's designed to not let the criminal out, not to have a nice view of the sky.
Starting point is 00:58:39 Having a nice glass sunroof probably isn't conducive towards that. It's interesting. because, okay, first off, this sounds like a criminal's idea. Yeah. Wait a second. You got to charge? What's the distance it can go from the charging station? Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:58:55 All right. Let's rob all the places that are 217 kilometers or more away from the nearest charging station. Dang, John, they robbed another place, 217 kilometers away. We just couldn't make it. 217.5 kilometers away. What are the odds? Okay. But here's the other thing is that to their credit, and this is weird, is they rolled out two Teslas as a testing.
Starting point is 00:59:20 One of them patrols Rito Hall in Ottawa, not the actual hall, but around it. And one of them does lapse in, I can't remember if it was Vancouver or Victoria. Vancouver. Right. Okay. Okay. So you've got much more temperate climates and basically light duty. they're basically just there to
Starting point is 00:59:42 They're show pieces They're there to show that they're there Okay But then they looked into Well what did it actually take to Make it into a cop car And is this feasible? Is this reasonable?
Starting point is 00:59:54 They got two of them Put them in places Where they're not going to be completely screwed In limited capacity As a test project They didn't order 17 of them To replace the whole damn fleet Like every
Starting point is 01:00:09 city in Canada seems to be doing with their buses. Yet. Yet. Give it time, twos. Give it time. I have no qualms on this show about saying in the next hundred mashups,
Starting point is 01:00:25 we will read a story talking about the RCP buying 100 Teslas to unveil. And some guy getting away from them because the Tesla like gets out and plugs in the generator. And then, And then you know what will happen is they'll come out and say,
Starting point is 01:00:42 we need to raise a new tax to fund the RCMPs, Tesla cars, to save the environment. Man, this stuff is going to right itself. I can almost predict the future. Zane and South gets, next up, they will have these electric bicycles mounted on the cruisers to use as a backup transport. You know what's funny? They could prop, the biking cops, they could probably, like the actual electric bikes, e-bikes, if you've ever been on one of those suckers, they're actually pretty sweet. and there would probably be a little bit of a case made for like if they trialed a couple electric bikes instead of just spice cops, you know?
Starting point is 01:01:19 That actually makes sense. Maybe some of the larger police vehicles, like the buses they use to haul inmates or, you know, the big SWAT tanks or whatever. Maybe have those being electric ran off a diesel generator, something like that. I don't know who they could talk to about. Don't know anybody who they could talk to. No, no idea. No idea. All right.
Starting point is 01:01:42 Now, here we go. Next one. It came out of nowhere. Okay, say it without laughing, though. It came out of nowhere. Oh, man. This is, this is, this is, yeah, this is fantastic. Some farmer in rice and discussion right now.
Starting point is 01:02:01 Uh, we fucked up. So, buddy's seeding a field in Saskatchewan, which by definition is just a wide open space. And there is one of those giant metal-laced power lines with multiple lines going through it. And he goes right the fuck into it. And the internet had a heyday with it. Yeah, like, like this is. Oh, boy. You know?
Starting point is 01:02:41 Oh, boy. There's, there's the, this is the video of showing what it did. And drone footage of it, all kinds of pictures. There was plenty of coverage of this. I mean, if only there was some way that, that he could have seen it coming. So he's got his hair from there. The tractor goes right into it. Like, right in the middle.
Starting point is 01:03:02 It's not like he just clipped it because he was trying to go around it. He was on his phone, not paying attention, or having a quick little nap while he leaves it on autopilot or whatever the hell happened. And that thing. And then here's a fake thing. So yeah, we've got a fake SaaS power safety thing.
Starting point is 01:03:22 And so, farmers, you're all busy right now. Keep your eyes on a swivel. You never know when one of these things is going to sneak up on you. And don't get out of it unless you absolutely have to. Because of step voltage. And if you're not sure what
Starting point is 01:03:38 step voltage is, look into it. But the point is if you hit an overhead line, or you crash into one of these big bastards for no good reason stay in the tractor i don't like it when people act like you plan to fuck up nobody plans to fuck up that's why it's called you don't walk outside like today is the perfect day for a fuck-up i'm i'm thinking up all day to day this is this is this is what happens the important thing is to learn from you got to learn from your The safety message for SAS Power. That's too good. Kevin Hart laid it down right.
Starting point is 01:04:22 I mean, come on. That's fantastic. Defense spending today, the Honorable Bill Blair, Minister of National Defense, announced that Canada will donate more than 800 Sky Ranger R70 multi-mission unmanned aerial systems to Ukraine. They're valued at $95 million. And since February 2020, you may wonder, how much are we committed? Well, Canada has committed over
Starting point is 01:04:50 9.7 billion in the total assistance to Ukraine. And we got a lot of hell from one third of the senators in the states about our NATO spending because we're not spending, we're not keeping up on our commitments.
Starting point is 01:05:09 And it's crazy, it's weird. They've got the completely wrong approach because they don't understand their audience. What they need to say, is Trudeau, you black-faced asshole, this is money that's going to be spent for a lot of stuff overseas. And then he's going to be like, oh, oh, you mean, you know,
Starting point is 01:05:29 it's not going to go towards, you know, local communities and stuff like that. Well, let's do it. Okay. That's how you need to do it. And when you look at the amount that we actually currently spend, which is something like 1.3%, and then you look at how much we give, a way to places like Ukraine,
Starting point is 01:05:51 we could, we could, we could be right in that ballpark of our NATO commitment. Or maybe we just don't need to be in NATO anymore. But either way, let's start actually spending some money. I don't know, I don't know if we should or not. It's getting a little weird.
Starting point is 01:06:08 But the point is, is that we're okay spending all this money on other people's military, but not our own. Correct. We're okay spending money on everything, but own. What are we talking about? It doesn't even come military and on. Is that
Starting point is 01:06:25 the states need to be really careful when they're talking about Canada's defense budget spending because I really feel like they need to have a stipulation in there that it's non-tamponic spending. Because if we spend $70 billion on tampons, that doesn't really help very much.
Starting point is 01:06:47 Short-term thinking daycare. Why do you do this to me? Tews. New York Post are I know, you skipped Rachel Gillian. Okay. That's fine. We can skip her. Short-term thinking daycare.
Starting point is 01:07:05 Are you talking to New York? Let's turn to New York. All right, let's turn New York. Fear's mama shared her outrage over discovering her two-year-old son was fitted with ankle weights at his daycare to stop him from moving quickly. You heard that correct? Hello, New York. This is a New York article. It just boggles my mind.
Starting point is 01:07:21 Quoted, my child who is two attends a licensed daycare program full-time. When I went to pick him up early on Friday, he had an ankle-weigh. weights attached to him. He has no medical diagnosis, yada, yada, yada. The mom shared this assistant director at a school. Katie often commented that her child is a poor listener with other teachers noting he doesn't stop running when he, when told. He's two people. That's literally what they do. That's literally what they do. Literally what they do. You put ankle weights on a two year old to keep him from running around so much. This is at best a short term solution. Okay. because two-year-old kid isn't going to be able to run around very much.
Starting point is 01:08:01 Three-year-old kid is going to be squatting the couch. He's going to be this unstoppable fucking terror. You know when you're just like, you got to do something at the end of the day and you're like, I don't really feel like it. I'm just going to go to bed. That's a problem for tomorrow me. That's totally what this person was thinking. Like, yeah, you know what?
Starting point is 01:08:23 I just, I can't deal with this kid running around today. even if he's an unstoppable juggernaut in six months, at least today, I'm going to have a little bit of peace of mind. It's a future homework problem. I just want to point this out one more time. It's a two-year-old kid. Smart and not battles. I know this is New York.
Starting point is 01:08:43 I want to make sure that I could point that out over and over again because there's just such a stupidity. But like, come on. Give it. Barocracy at its finest. Rachel Gillian. It is with great regret that I inform all of you. Which one do you want?
Starting point is 01:09:01 This is the other New York Post article about the clams. Man. I said we were going to skip Rachel. Unless you really want to cover it, but. Okay. Charlotte Russ was on a family trip to Pismo Beach known as the clam capital of the world when she said her kids picked up 70 clams from the clamming hotspot during their getaway. The Department of Fish and Wildlife confronted the mother of five
Starting point is 01:09:26 and told her that the kids were collecting the clams. without a license and issued her a ticket. You know what that ticket was worth $88,000? $88,000. And then just to make it even better, okay? If I can find it here somewhere. Come on, Sean. You know, mashup 108 going in the ditch, folks.
Starting point is 01:09:46 I can't pull up. What are you looking for exactly? I'm looking for the fact that they had this right here, okay? It's like the Coots 4 gun grab. They got it all lined up, all the clams lined up. measured out. It's like, here you go. Here's the evidence, folks.
Starting point is 01:10:02 $88,000 later. Kids. You take a bunch of kids to the ocean. And they're just like it's like taking them anywhere. You take them to a pile of dirt. And they're like, oh, look at this cool thing I found. Right. And it's an old can.
Starting point is 01:10:15 Okay. And then they're like, oh, seashells. Because they're not biologists. They don't know what a woman is or a seashell. And so they're like, oh, we just collected a whole bunch of these seashells. Aren't these pretty? And then some mall cop comes in and says, guess what, you little bastards?
Starting point is 01:10:34 You now owe the government $88,000. $88,000. She did, to be clear, the mom did end up getting it pled down to $500. It just been like, ankle weights and dumb mall cops. Like that's where we're at. You go up to them and be like, hey kids.
Starting point is 01:10:56 So here, let me show you the difference between a seashell and a clam. Okay? Now you're not allowed to do this, but we can do something fun with it. I've got to get you to put them back in the ocean, but what if we see how far we can throw them? That's how you handle that.
Starting point is 01:11:14 That'd be animal cruelty, too, is you can't be doing that, okay? Fun has a curfew. Man, and this stupidity can sit. Counsel, counsel will consider nudging Londoners towards a greener type of yard maintenance. To be clear, I'm talking about London, Ontario.
Starting point is 01:11:33 On Wednesday, the Civic Works Committee recommended holding a public meeting in July about whether to further restrict the hours when Londoners can use gas-powered lawnmores, weed trimmers, and leaf blowers? Can you imagine getting home from work, turning on your lawnmower, and getting fined because it's past 6 p.m. for mowing your freaking lawn? No, I can't, but sure in London, they're going to try and get it through. Currently, the city's sound bylaw limits the operations from 7 to 10, I think, okay, fair enough. A proposal by Skyler Frankie would tighten the timeline from Londoners still using gas powered equipment from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Starting point is 01:12:07 Quoted, the long-term goal is for people to slowly phase it out and then the life cycle of their lawn equipment, replacing it with electric options. She explained, perhaps this is an extra nudge that somebody needs to neutralize their, naturalize their lawn. I want to just, yeah, I got nothing to say here. This is ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It's stupid. And it's... it's trying to solve a problem that's solving itself already.
Starting point is 01:12:32 I used to have a leaf blower that was an absolute bastard to start. I bought it brand new. It would have been heavy, I bet too, eh? No, it was actually fairly light. It was pretty small. But you had to,
Starting point is 01:12:46 like, just absolutely wail on it. Like, I was, you, it was almost impossible to start. You mean to say that, like,
Starting point is 01:12:57 things that make sense, consumers will actually adopt and change. Yeah. Hmm. Yeah. That's such a strange idea. I think we should just put in 10,000 laws and tax them to living hell. And, um, you know, if they're going to pick up clams on a seashore, we just find them $88,000 dollars and call it a day.
Starting point is 01:13:17 I think that's great. And we put ankle wits on the kids because we don't want kids being kids. And we just pets heads are falling off. That's where we're at and want to wait this week. But I mean, seriously, like, uh, an electric leaf blower? I know. If I've got to get another leaf blower, which I'm probably going to do sometime this summer. I'm going to get, I'm going to get an electric one.
Starting point is 01:13:39 Same thing. Yeah, weed trimmers too. I've got an electric weed trimmer. I like it way better than a gas one. Okay. You let the technology get good enough. You let the product get good enough that it just becomes a logical transition. I know, but we're talking logic, common sense, all these things.
Starting point is 01:13:56 you know at this point I just want to get in the helicopter and go shoot some deer and get paid for it can we get that can that happen well I think that would be fun not in Iran not in Iran you can't
Starting point is 01:14:10 they've had some trouble with helicopters they've had some trouble with it yes they have but it was the weather it was the weather too it was the weather it was the weather pigting getting picked on
Starting point is 01:14:21 families of women murdered by BC serial killer Robert Pickdon express some leave Tuesday after learning he was critically injured by another prisoner in Quebec's maximum security port-carche institution postmedia broke the Monday that news Monday that notorious killer was on life support after he was speared in the head about 5 p.m. with a broken broom handle on the segregated intervention unit where he lived he remained in a Quebec city hospital
Starting point is 01:14:49 in a critical condition Tuesday sources said and was not expected to recover sources said the Picton had told other inmates that he was writing a book blaming the murders of women for which he was convicted on someone else. Lorimer Shenher, I hope I'm saying that right, a writer and former lead of Vancouver police detective on missing women's investigation. It's been an open secret for more than 20 years that these murders were not committed solely by the hands of Robert Picton. I would like to point out, I reached out to, as soon as I read this article, I reached out
Starting point is 01:15:16 to Lorimer, and he responded back that he can't come on right now because it's kind of crazy and he's just saying no to all. interviews, I can imagine. Yeah, fair enough. I mean, there was a book that was written about these killings that you can't find anywhere. You can find the fact that it exists, but you can't find a copy of it. There's somebody on the broadcast, another podcast in Canada, who's been trying to get to the bottom of this for a while. And it's just this muddy trail.
Starting point is 01:15:48 And the conspiracy theory, which this is the Vancouver Sun. They're not really trying to sound crazy, but you read all this. You say, like even in recent months, um, I've spoke, uh, the families and advocates have spoke out against a BC Supreme Court application made by the RCMP to destroy more than 14,000 exhibit seized from Picton's property during the lengthy investigation. Okay. They, they, they found the DNA of like 30 different women on there, only charged him with six counts. And like, it.
Starting point is 01:16:23 It's all weird. It doesn't quite stink. But it's all weird. And you're like, oh, well, now he's up for parole. And then he gets stabbed. A broom handle? He spends two decades behind bars. And then when he's up for parole, he gets stabbed in the head.
Starting point is 01:16:42 That seems a little suspicious. Uh, yeah. Just a touch, twos. We're not sitting here saying Picton was a great human being. we're just saying that there's some weird things going on in this thing that stink to high heaven now as far as having his weird ass farm as some sex destination for the powerful and elite that doesn't really hold a lot of water because i feel like if i'm super rich and whatever i'm going to ask for my weird sex destination to be in a nice place not some decrepit farm but
Starting point is 01:17:17 if that's where they want to put the bodies afterwards that makes a little bit more sense It stinks, too. It stinks. Vance Crow's chiming in. Hello, Vance. Take care falling apart. The low-fee child care plan was billed as being universal, but despite a commitment of $10.2 billion over five years from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's federal government, there won't be enough money to serve all the eligible children in Ontario. Even if the money were available, it is unlikely that province could produce enough early childhood educators or build the required care center spaces. Even if the province were to somehow able to create over 375,000 child care spaces by 2026 as planned, that would mean still about 225,000 children would be, wouldn't have a spot in the licensed subsidized system. Oh, man. You know it would have been way simpler than this, Sean? If you wanted to go down this road, if this was the road you wanted to go down,
Starting point is 01:18:16 you just provide a tax subsidy. You say you get to write off, I don't know. 90 or 95% of your child care costs. That's it. That's it. The whole system already worked, but they wanted to bring it underneath the government and probably make a whole lot more shitty union jobs at the same time. Whereas the simple thing would just be to say,
Starting point is 01:18:40 look, submit your receipts with your taxes. You get 90% of it back. Done. That's it. That's all it had to be. Yes. That's all this had to be.
Starting point is 01:18:52 but instead let's make it as complicated as possible. Okay, this whole thing has been hobbled worse than the kids at the New York daycare. Just the tip. There you go. This is a restaurant in Burnaby, Canada. It took the no-tip option off their debit machine. As you can see, they put stickers across it so you can't. No tip.
Starting point is 01:19:20 Thank you. You know, this is becoming a common. trend everywhere I see where they're trying to push on you harder and harder to do things to take more of your money but they won't stand up for anything else that I believe in and they're like but you should tip me or you should donate money to my cause screw you I'm tired of this junk this is another one of the like I wish they would have put the the restaurant chances are I'm never going there anyways in the comments but yeah if you go down um there was a bunch of people were like, where is this?
Starting point is 01:19:54 And then, um, and then it was, it was laid out exactly where it was. Some place, none of us, I've never even been to. You want to get my tip? Give me good service. Done. Yeah. And if I saw this on the internet and I think it's pretty good, if I've got a stand to order, I'm not leaving a tip.
Starting point is 01:20:14 Sure. I'm just, I'm just saying, uh, there's places I tip where I stand order because the service is that freaking good. You want, you want my money. Earn it. don't demand that now I have to give you 27% because of XYZ. Don't put stickers on the machine.
Starting point is 01:20:31 Are you kidding me? And don't be afraid to lose my business. If you see something like this, if this gets tried in some other random ass fucking place and you see this where they take away the no tip option, there's nothing wrong with just walking out. Yeah. I was,
Starting point is 01:20:46 by the way, not interested. Yeah, yeah, sorry. I don't even have the option. Yeah, I'm going to pass on this. I'm going to go to the next place across the street. When I was in Bonneville, the aforementioned Bonneville one time, I was getting drive-through on my way to work in the morning. And so I hit up McDonald's.
Starting point is 01:21:07 And the price on the menu was, I don't know, five bucks for some bacon and agri thing or whatever. But then it comes up on the screen and it says seven bucks. So I'm like, well, hey, you guys got an issue. Go back and forth. Finally, I'm like, can I talk to a manager? I go up to the front. She says, well, it's in the computer is this.
Starting point is 01:21:28 And I'm like, I don't care what it's in the computer. It literally says it's five bucks on your menu. So I would like to pay you five bucks. And she's like, well, no, no, you have to pay seven. And I'm like, so that's how it is. And she said, yeah. And I said, well, I don't have to pay seven. And then I drove away.
Starting point is 01:21:45 And then I went to the Tim Hortons right next to it and got drive-through breakfast there. somehow we miss this Kevin Kevin Deem said my swimming instructor suggested ankle weights for me when I was a kid He must have been an absolute bastard That's fantastic by the way A little bit of dark humor here This morning climate change is
Starting point is 01:22:07 Oh no we're skipping that Oh yeah story we already talked about that Yeah update return to office pushback Once again You know like the Okay This whole government workers having to go back to the office for three days a week is just becoming a real irritant of mine.
Starting point is 01:22:25 And since the government updated its policy on public servants, they've now had 70,000 letters have been sent to the members of parliament and treasure board present via union campaign. So the unions are pushing hard. And the response is, you know, the federal updated its policy to remote work earlier this month requiring public servants to spend three days a week in the office by mid-September. Executives will be expected to be on site for a minimum four days of week. So there you go. And they managed to write 70,000 letters and get them speaking about how bad this is. They have shown more initiative and more gumption in this whole thing than they ever have in any of the actual public sector servant of the public stuff.
Starting point is 01:23:12 If they can ram out 70,000 letters this fast, why the hell can't we get our passports or our passports? or our pals or our pals in a respectable amount of time. Bravo twos, because I looked at this, my brain went, I want nothing to do with this, but you're absolutely 100% right. They are efficient when they want something the rest of the time, not so much. They should go on strike, and they should do that from home too. Ottawa is just the worst.
Starting point is 01:23:42 The city of Ottawa will be deploying trash cops to monitor for legal dumping when the new three item garbage limit is introduced this fall. Four new positions will be created this year for Ottawa bylaw services and solid waste services to monitor illegal dumping through the transition period to the new three item limit. The plan includes staff proactively monitoring waste and parts for potential illegal dumping with solid waste inspectors and bylaw service officers tasked with falling up and issuing possible fines. So this comes as if you dig deeper into it, them trying not to have to worry about their garbage dump. basically overfilling. And so they've done a bunch of different things, one of which is they pick up trash every second week instead of every week.
Starting point is 01:24:24 But you know, when the three item thing, I just want to clarify this right out right off the hub. I was like three items. What the heck is that? So I clicked through. And you could have three trash bins. So it's of up to 140 liters each. Correct.
Starting point is 01:24:37 So which is a pretty standard trash. Is it not? Half a cube. I don't know what the capacity is on, on mine. I've never, I've never measured it out. But you can have half a,
Starting point is 01:24:47 a cube of garbage every two weeks. And they've got government people making sure that you're not going through more than half a cube of garbage every two weeks. Who the hell has that much garbage? Like I get the fact that Ottawa is a garbage place that's full of garbage.
Starting point is 01:25:03 Yeah. But seriously? Like this is, this would be like, I don't know. That was my thoughts exactly, too. This just seems like this stupid bureaucracy of what, why? house and say you can't use more than 8 million liters of water every day? You know, I used to work, so I worked, full disclosure, I worked for the city of Lloyd once
Starting point is 01:25:27 upon a time for a brief summer. Yeah, you water flowers. Worked at the graveyard, mowing lawns. That was an interesting job. And one of the guy's jobs solely in springtime was to go around and spray puddles so that mosquitoes wouldn't hatch in them. That's all his job was to record where he sprayed puddles. We pay a guy to do that.
Starting point is 01:25:50 Why not give him a few shovelfuls of dirt? Oh, there's a puddle there. That means the ground is a little bit lower. The ground is a little bit lower in this place. What if we just threw some dirt on there so that we just have to come here once? I should point out there was another headline in here too that said transit advocacy group calls for new tax in the city of Ottawa to support public transit. Because they're going electric. To me, that's what I inferred.
Starting point is 01:26:19 from it. Okay. So everything's causing a lot of money and it ain't working. So we better charge more taxes to the people so then we can cover the stupidity of what we're going. We're saving the planet. It's amazing. What's happening in Ottawa, which is the public servant hub of this entire country, is that
Starting point is 01:26:38 no one's really using transit anymore and they're not making any money. Now, if only there was some way that you could get people to use transit, like, on their way to work for example. Maybe on their way to work. You can solve both these problems at the same time. Oh, boy, boy, boy, boy, boy, boy, bo, boy, bo, boy, bo, boy. Rogan, guest goes full Rogan. You're talking about Terrence Howard on Joe Rogan, talking periodic table.
Starting point is 01:27:06 You can turn color back into sound, divide light by two on and on and on. It's just, it's just the most bizarre thing. And it's, I, I listened to this and I was fascinated. and I felt like Terrence Howard and Boyd Anderson should be friends because I don't know did you listen to this
Starting point is 01:27:27 this Rogan episode? I haven't listened to the full thing. Oh, it's just phenomenal. Like the guy just goes on in depth and he's absolutely crazy. You're like, I don't know, does any of this work? And that's the thing is that everyone's like, I don't know, no one's ever even suggested any of this.
Starting point is 01:27:44 And then he keeps talking about how he's got 97 patents and that's the proof. But you're like, you can get, a patent for a lot of stuff. And the people who, the people now I'm curious, is anybody in the, anybody watching this sucker? Did you watch the Terrence Howard interview?
Starting point is 01:28:00 And if you did, comment your thoughts, because I would love to just read off some thoughts on Terrence Howard, Joe Rogan. Now I got to go listen to the bloody thing. It was so out there and all. You're putting them in the same, you're putting them in the same category as numbers, Boyd Anderson, and how it all comes together. That's what you're putting it is.
Starting point is 01:28:15 Just the, um, the absolute fanatical depth that you're willing to go into what appears to be absolute nonsense. And so, you know, he's talking about how, like, if you just mix beryllium and water, you get it, you get water to separate, you know, the oxygen and the hydrogen. And because of the resonance of it, but he's like, all you have to do is just mimic the sound of beryllium. I've, I've sat next to beryllium quite a lot.
Starting point is 01:28:43 It's fairly common in downhole tools to have beryllium copper as an alloy, right? And you don't hear anything unless maybe the tool's on. Right. It's crazy. Like, and I know lots about it. I can tell you that it's delicious. Perilium. It's absolutely wonderful.
Starting point is 01:29:05 Because if it wasn't delicious, they would have called it for kind of yum. Here's, Zane. Zane said, yeah, Terrence and his White Hood made for an interesting afternoon. Yes, it is. That was beryllium because it's delicious. You're killing me here, Sean.
Starting point is 01:29:33 I'm waiting for people to chime in on Terrence Howard. Nobody wants to chime in. Thanks, Zane, for answering the question, because I was just curious. I didn't watch it. Now I got to go watch. You know, I saw that. I saw it.
Starting point is 01:29:43 Anyway, Canada Post is the worst. Canada Post in hot water. Why was he unable to deliver the form already filled out before the carrier arrived? Anyways, what happens is Canada Post shows up with the form saying you weren't home. There's a package to be delivered. There's a package to be delivered. And instead of walking up with the package, walks up with the form saying we're in home, come pick your back. That's right.
Starting point is 01:30:08 Meanwhile, he's home. His wife's home. All the vehicles are there and he's upset and chases the guy down, gets his package, then writes an article on it. Yeah. So he makes a complaint to Canada Post. And to their credit, now Canada Post is actually accepting complaints about this. the exact same thing happened to me a few years ago. I ordered something off Amazon and it was being delivered by Canada Post back before
Starting point is 01:30:31 Amazon had the vans everywhere and they used Canada Post all the time. Canada Post comes up and I see this guy walk up, put up the story we missed you, turn around, get back in and leave. And I call Canada Post immediately. Like I get this thing and I'm like, I look at it. I'm like, what the hell? I call them up immediately. And I'm like, can you turn?
Starting point is 01:30:53 your guy around and have them actually drop off this package that I just watched him not drop off, not even attempt to drop off. And they basically told me to get fucked. You know what I think about this? And I had to go pick it up. And then I called what I think about this. Just let me finish. Just let me finish.
Starting point is 01:31:09 So I called up Amazon. I don't care about the rest of your story, though. I just to be, well, you know what? I do. Okay. You know what? Fine. Finish your story.
Starting point is 01:31:18 So I call up Amazon or I get a hold of Amazon and I'm talking to somebody. and they're like, yeah, we've had this issue a lot with Canada Post. We're moving away from them because of it. We're really sorry about it. Here's a $5 gift card. The reason why all these Amazon vans are everywhere now is because Canada Post sucks so much that they lost all the work because of this exact same fucking thing. And they're not learning their lesson.
Starting point is 01:31:43 And they've lost half the market share in the past two years. And we keep paying for their $784 million quarterly deficits. and they don't want to get any fucking better because they don't have to. What did you think was interesting, Sean? I'm tired of people getting upset over stupid things. This is a stupid thing, okay? So you got to go to this. I understand.
Starting point is 01:32:08 I understand. So then do something about it. Okay? We've got real problems in society right now. I'm not saying this isn't a problem. It is a problem. Chasing down the guy and winning it and getting an article. Good for you, man.
Starting point is 01:32:19 Good for you. I'm so happy. Meanwhile, we got just shit going on in society that really sucks. And it would be really great if the people that get pissed off about their parcel being like the guy not doing his job. Or maybe he's just tired of it's 700,000 in the day that he's dropping off that nobody's there. And he's just like, ask her, whatever's working. I get it. I understand there's protocol of this.
Starting point is 01:32:41 But I'm like, you know what? How about we show some of that initiative, that energy of chasing down Canada post to holding, I don't know, our elected official. accountable. And maybe we can get out of some of the tom foolery we're in in this society. No, let's yell at Canada Post. Move on. That's what I'm back.
Starting point is 01:33:00 Move on. Okay. I get it. There's lots of important things. There's lots of crazy things. You got the drag queen story hours going on, right? Yes. And in both instances, there's issues with people's packages.
Starting point is 01:33:14 Okay? It's the same stuff. True. Happy news. Happy news, folks. Um, I'm confused about this is happy news. Laundre model and pro tennis player, Camilla Georgie. Okay.
Starting point is 01:33:30 So, okay, right there, you're like, oh, okay, that sounds like happy news. She's former because she's retired now. And she got caught. The villa she was staying at that she skipped out on six months of rent and then stole expensive furniture on her way out. So now there's like a whole bunch of things. I don't know how this is happy news, but I am kind of curious. How is this happy news?
Starting point is 01:33:49 So tennis players. Laundrae model who committed tax fraud. Yes. Women like this exist. That's the happy news. So if you haven't found your Mrs. twos yet, if you haven't found your Mrs. Newman,
Starting point is 01:34:07 there's women like this out in the world. All right. There's an absolute unicorn. Well done. Well done. Well done. Well done. Community notes. Community notes.

I tell you what, making headlines just about everywhere.
Starting point is 01:34:38 I'm going to pull up just a tweet from Evachipiac because, like, this found its way into a Toronto Star news article, I believe. And then, you know, it's got everybody just commenting on how insane Alberta is, for having a town hall to discuss MRI injections and children. But no worries. She put it really well here. Hey?
Starting point is 01:35:00 She put it really well here. So, okay. So it's okay for mainstream media to talk about these issues on their platforms. It's okay for Canadians to argue about these issues online, but it is not okay for people to go to an event, meet face to face,
Starting point is 01:35:11 and talk about these same issues. Make it make sense. Quoted, sorry, she then put, when you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar. You're only telling the world that you fear what he might say. that's George R. Martin.
Starting point is 01:35:25 So that was Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones. Yeah. So that's, of course, June 17th. I'm like, I'm helping facilitate the night. So I'm going to be on stage very little. And I keep seeing these new articles. I'm like, this is wild.
Starting point is 01:35:37 No, like people are talking about it in the House of Commons. Yeah. Like this is wild stuff going on. And so if you're here in Alberta and you're like, well, what the heck's happening? It's Dr. Eric Payne, Dr. Chris Shoemaker, Byron Brow, Dr. Brian Browardle, Dr. Dr. William Maccas, there's a few others that are coming. You can go to an injection of truth.ca to get tickets to it if you're in Calgary.

So there's a few left there. They're pushing on people to do watch parties because it's supposed to engage the UCP, which is our governing body to hear some testimony from people who know their stuff although mainstream media will just talk about
Starting point is 01:36:27 how they're a bunch of quacks which is wild all over again and I don't know why. And they're like hammering on this thing hard. So I really... Why don't you just show up and ask a few questions? If you could prove all this stuff wrong, have Adder.
