Here's a word of advice.
If you run some kind of, I don't know, a plumbing company in this specific example,
if somebody calls you to tell you that something's wrong with one of the vehicles,
don't be a fuckhead.
So it's seven in the morning the other day and I'm driving to work and there's this van for a plumbing company who will not be named.
And they had this cabinet up on top where they had a bunch of conduit in there.
But the back of it was open and the conduit was starting to work its way out.
But I didn't have a chance to get beside them and flag them down.
So I just called the number.
And I just looked them up on Google Maps and said, hey, you know what?
This vehicle with this license plate number, they've got a cabinet open and some conduit's starting to fall out.
So you might want to just let them know.
And they're like, okay, well, what's your name and number?
And is this?
and what's the address you're calling about?
I'm like, I'm not calling about an address.
I'm not calling to get service done.
I'm calling to tell you that one of your guys has a bunch of shit that's supposed to start
falling all over the road.
And he's like, well, this isn't really the number to call for that.
Like, I get that, but your office isn't open yet because it's 7 o'clock in the morning.
The only thing is the 24-hour emergency line.
So why don't you just hang up.
call that guy and let him know that he needs to pull over and close that cabinet.
He's like, well, this is just, it's just so highly irregular.
I'm not sure what to do.
And I'm like, I just told you what to do.
And he's like, okay, well, so before I let you go, like, what's your full name?
And I'm like, it's twos.
And can you spell that?
No, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
What's your phone number?
It's two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two.
What's your name, twos?
Well, that's highly irregular.
That doesn't make any sense.
Okay, well, I said my actual name.
name. And then the thing about it is, is that, uh, you get it.
Your actual name. And you get, you get your name is two's from here on out. You might as
change your driver's license, your passport. Daryl says, where'd you get that beauty of a hat,
twos? This is an absolute beauty of a hat. I was wearing it the other day when we met. Um,
so I got this from a fan of the show. A listener, watcher, uh, a friend of hers had made some of
these hats. And she was like, hey, if you just give me your address, I'll send you one.
Fuck yeah.
So yeah, I was wearing this all weekend.
That picture we have with Danielle Smith.
I'm wearing this hat.
Is this something new?
Look at the comments from Facebook.
It says Facebook user.
Good morning, but we don't get to see who it is.
What's going on here?
Facebook user.
I was just going to say, I'm so happy that my ex account is streaming again.
So it's like it's back up.
I'm like, oh, that's exciting because I don't have to stress about that.
But now Facebook isn't going to tell us who's comment.
I'm like, well, good morning to you all, you know.
Marles, I agree.
P.S, I still like this intro.
Eminem or not is great, but we're talking about the intro today.
Are we not twos?
Yeah, I mean, this is probably a great segue into it.
I'm telling you right now, we got to change the intro.
There's no way we can have Eminem.
No, maybe this is, we got to move away from this.
And I know it's a great intro.
We've been here for a long time.
We've really enjoyed it.
But twos, would you not agree?
We got, we're going to have to find something.
Yeah, I'm the one.
who brought it up to you.
So yes,
I am in agreement.
Actually,
it was a listener who brought,
you know how Tews is,
I'm talking to myself here.
Tews,
folks,
am I wrong?
Tuse is what's to take credit for everything.
He's like,
oh, yeah,
I brought it up.
I brought it up.
Like,
actually,
no, our listeners brought it up.
And then Tews is going to take credit
for what you guys talked about.
That's,
that's what's happening here.
I don't know.
How about this,
though?
Good morning,
Tuesday.
And Sean,
did you like shit the bed today?
Regarding what?
I'm not even sure.
And I don't even know
who asked that. Yeah, we can't even see
it's Facebook user. Facebook user.
What, like, okay,
look, Facebook user, I understand
that you're excited, but you,
you've commented like 40 times already
Facebook user. You said, good morning,
guys, Friday, great morning, good morning, good morning.
That is Michelle, that's
Michelle, good morning.
Everybody's, everybody's Facebook user.
Everybody's happy. Somebody's having a rough
Friday.
welcome to mashup 132 folks hopefully uh Friday being up this morning it's Brenda Belanger
well Brenda hello um here so the X ones are still showing up good morning boys look forward
to this mashup like I do for all of them awesome I love it okay but okay going back to this
two hysteria comments I want to enlist the audience to find us it'd be cool to have somebody
from Alberta. But I mean, I'd extend that
to Western Canada. Can we go Western Canada,
too's? If we could find a local artist,
somebody who sounds badass and could give us a new
intro, a submission. Is that possible
for the match? Yeah, something like a 30 or 40 second rift so that when I'm
talking about whatever's irritating.
It probably needs to be two minutes because
Tuse likes to drag on.
Oh, doesn't he folks? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Tuse drags on.
Maybe if the world would stop pissing me off.
Maybe if I call them and tell them that shit's falling out of
one of their vehicles, they don't go, well, is this for residential or commercial?
Hey, just hang up the fucking phone and call your guy.
Okay, we got some things to get to today.
First, of course, six and a half for the Coots to Christopher Carver and Anthony.
I like, here's your weekly reminder.
That's happened.
Happy Airborne Friday to Jamie Sinclair.
We got some, we got some, uh, Remembrance Day stuff coming up in the articles that
probably will fire, uh, Mr.
Sinclair up, I think.
quite a bit. But a shout out to the military boys. Happy Airborne Friday.
November 26th, we're going to be doing Nova Scotia live election coverage. So if you're
listening from Nova Scotia or you have suggestions for that live stream, please let us know,
because we want to try and fill out an evening with some people from Nova Scotia.
And, you know, that being on the other side of can, that could be a little bit interesting. But
we'll do our best to try and find some people from Nova Scotia to talk directly to it.
And if you guys can help us along the way or you got people you listen to,
et cetera,
et cetera,
uh,
please fire those off.
Finally,
if you're listening to it.
Every way of you to take a breath.
You finally did take a couple.
You know what it is?
You know what it is?
Two's left me a red bull in the studio.
I'm trying to talk here.
And I,
I decided to,
I was like,
I was like,
it feels,
it feels right.
I told you that's going to be crying in the law today.
Is this what it's like to do?
podcast with me.
Yes.
Airborne Friday.
I saw this thing.
I have ridden the skies in great machines,
hooked up and jumped with the best of men.
I have fought long and hard,
and when I felt I had no energy left,
I have been fired by the fear
that if I stopped fighting,
my comrades would die,
and when I was in danger,
my enemy all around,
I heard the thunder from my left and my right,
as my life was defended.
I have never been a left,
alone. I live, jump, fight, and battle to victory with the greatest assemblage of men on earth.
Apparently, that is the airborne toast. So, up the Johns guys.
That's pretty sweet. Look at twos being all serious today. I'm the one all jumping around here.
We're changing roles. Maybe you should read deadlines. We know what they are, though. This one's
interesting, though. Good morning, boys.
Yeah, I know.
I tell you what, Cooper, that's not a bad idea.
Maybe I'll bug a Cooper about us if he would put something together.
Yes, so yes, we are familiar with Cooper.
We did a show with him last winter.
Yeah.
And big fans.
Yeah, 100%.
Okay.
That's a good, that is a good suggestion, though.
Okay, we got lots to get to.
I want to remind everybody, if you're liking what we're doing,
make sure to share, like, subscribe, wherever you're at, push this out.
We are dependent on you, lovely folks to help us get the word out about the mashup and everything we're doing here.
And if you're listening on Twitter or Facebook or some rumble, go and subscribe to us on Twitter because otherwise nobody even knows we're there.
You mean YouTube?
As much as, yes, on YouTube.
as much as we all hate YouTube, just do us a solid.
All right.
Shall we begin?
Yes, we shall.
I have a massive election.
Clever.
Well, I don't know.
Here's the big news, folks.
I think you already know.
Donald Trump becoming the 47th president of the United States of America.
He wins the election.
And people lost their absolute mind in,
both ways, lots of excitement, and a lot of like, you bunch are racist.
I can't believe this happened.
And all the celebrities losing their minds and everything else.
Well, I mean, think about how fast things move.
Like, since our last mashup last week, there's Peanut the Squirrel.
Mm-hmm.
We didn't even have a chance to talk about that.
And it's not even news anymore.
And now we're going with the election results.
But there are, you're absolutely right, there were a lot of celebrities who,
have just lost their goddamn mind and it's hilarious to watch.
Like here, I'm not going to play this.
But just take a look.
That is Kathy Griffin.
She looks like she has been smoking peyote for three straight days.
She does not look good, folks.
You got Christina Applegate.
This guy says the problem is women can't think straight one week of the month and that's not good for a president.
And the American people know that.
interesting thought.
I don't think we have time to get into it.
We'll just move past it.
Christina Applegate,
married with children.
This chick says,
are you fucking kidding me?
Get on the phone now.
Give me your number.
And then it blew up with a whole bunch of guys
giving her their numbers
because it's Christina Applegate.
Like you had
Wayne Gretzky going to
Trump's election night thing as being a big deal.
one of the things you had Catherine McKenna, which is funny.
Okay, so one of the several notable things about Trump.
Can we just say about Wayne Grexie?
Can we just say about Wayne Grexie, quick?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
He does.
Oh, yeah, I get to hop in for two seconds here.
You're rambling, all right?
Two seconds here.
Wayne Grexky does the vaccine commercial,
and now he's hailed as a hero because he went to Mar-a-Lago for Trump's
election night victory party.
But, you know, like, folks, don't forget in the pictures,
Kim Kardashian's there.
And the same week, Kim Kardashian was at the photos were arriving that she was at Pete at these parties.
And it's like, ah, whatever.
I don't know.
Was Wayne ever at those parties?
Possibly.
Catherine McKenna.
So Trump's last presidency was notable in a few ways.
One of them being that the United States greenhouse gas emissions declined over his tenure.
Now, Catherine McKenna, the climate idiot herself.
It really sucks, but we need to pick ourselves up, come together.
and double down on climate action and activism,
including working harder to bring regular people in the fight,
especially women and girls who are 2.5x to demand climate action.
Stay tuned.
Trump lower greenhouse gas emissions.
I get the fact that you hate him, but let's try and keep it factual.
CBC made the news for being a bunch of idiots.
And I don't even know, like we did the live stream,
and it was way more successful than I thought it was going to be.
But why the hell was anybody watching us?
Thank you if you did.
But why the hell were you watching us when this would have been way more entertaining?
This clip's minutes long.
I'm not going to get into it, but it's funny.
And the other thing is people have been looking at this graph.
Yes.
Blue is the Democrat votes.
And they're pretty straight, except for in 2020, when they jumped
a huge amount.
And there's a bunch of people on the Democrat side saying,
well, how the hell did we get so many votes the last election?
And none of them this time.
Obviously, there's some fuckery with the election.
And it's funny because they're like,
it's close to figuring it out,
but they're just not quite there.
This is the best breakdown.
This is the best mental breakdown of anybody.
I put it with a minute.
Just watch this.
I can't believe Trump's actually going to win this.
fucking day.
I'm Jesus Christ.
I'm so pissed off.
Fuck.
Fuck.
God damn it.
White Harris for dudes.
White dudes for Harris.
White dudes for Harris.
This clip, I just,
it's about a minute long.
I just need everybody to listen.
This is,
they used AI voice software
to take out the word democracy
and put in the word
bureaucracy in this super cut.
If the Democrats fail, it might be the end of American bureaucracy.
Our bureaucracy really is in fundamental peril.
The foundations of American bureaucracy under attack.
They want to destroy our bureaucracy.
We are a bureaucracy in danger.
We're watching an election where people are on the ballot openly advocating the end of bureaucracy.
That's what Republicans are doing, attacking bureaucracy, attempting to destroy bureaucracy,
and they're doing it with glee.
This is the end of...
bureaucracy in America. When will America stop sleepwalking towards the end of bureaucracy?
It's Democrats versus, as Bill Crystal says, the end of bureaucracy.
We are essentially, as Neil put it, one vote away from sort of the end of bureaucracy is no.
I think our bureaucracy and the stability of that bureaucracy is really the thing on the ballot and really so important.
Yeah, that was brilliant. It was just absolutely beautiful. And Maxa Magazine,
being the only magazine that endorsed Trump.
I want to pull up this one because it says people saying Harris should have done Joe Rogan are missing the point.
That wouldn't have helped her. Liberals need to build their own Joe Rogan.
And the guy commented liberals actually had their own Joe Rogan for years or for years.
His name was Joe Rogan.
Totally true.
You know what?
That's a great tweet.
I bet you they're going to go on his podcast the next fucking time.
People are starting to realize this, right?
like do it well you know i i don't think joe rogan was the deciding factor in this election
but it's not oh did you get on 60 minutes or oh did you get on cnnn it's did you get on a big
podcast and the the election cycles in canada are going to be the same thing john your phone's
going to be blowing up people you've never even heard of be like hi i work for a pier poliov and i'm
I'm wondering if I could come on to your,
we could get him to come on to your program and talk about some snappy slogans and minimal actual change.
Do you have any softballs you could throw at us?
The cool thing about it, though, is that it's going to get to the point where actually you're going to have like the NDP saying,
yeah, you know, we'd actually like to come on your show, not the mashup, but, you know,
we want to come on the show and talk about things.
And so, yeah, the tides, they are, they are returning.
Yes, they are.
Ripples in a pond.
When Donald Trump vowed to clamp down an immigration as part of his campaign for president of the United States, the RCP was listening closely.
Not just us to us, and a few of you out there too, but they were listening closely to what Donald Trump had to say.
Canada's federal police force has been preparing for months on a contingency plan for potential massive influx of migrants across the border following Trump's promise of mass deportation, millions of undocumented immigrants.
And if a surge materializes, the Mounties expected to take place before Trump's inauguration in January.
So the RCMPs all worried that our borders are going to get flooded with asylum seekers.
I just throwing ideas out there, crazy pitch, hear me out.
What if we just stopped them before they crossed the border?
What if we just didn't let them into the country?
they already entered another country illegally.
We should just let them enter this country illegally.
Be like, no, no, no, no, back up, back up, back up.
Take 10 steps back where you may get shot.
The lineups over there.
You can fill out the paperwork on your way through.
That's it.
Why do we have an obligation to look after people who left whatever country they're from
to enter another country illegally?
and when that country says no, you need to go back,
they say, well, what if we just went to Canada
and got free shit forever instead?
How is that in any way a normal idea?
Jesus Christ.
Let's go to the next thing.
AGM.
AGM.
Yeah.
The AGM.
Members of Alberta's governing United Conservative Party
have voted their strong confidence
and party leader.
Premier Daniel Smith with 91.5% of voting members endorsing her leadership.
We were there, too, we saw it firsthand.
Can we just take a moment or two to explain to those who weren't there how awesome it was
to have so many people come to the hospitality suite we put on and how great it was to talk to everybody?
To meet a whole bunch of these people.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I mean, it was the first AGM I've ever been to.
I was shocked at how it was an absolute zoo there.
6,000 people, it felt, I don't know, it was just, it was buzzing.
It was busy.
And Friday night, we had the hospitality room.
We had a lineup.
It was jarred.
And when the premier showed up, the scary detail had to, like, push people out of the way to kind of create a hole, a little pocket order come standing.
So I really appreciate everybody who showed up.
There was a ton of people coming through.
It was great to meet so many of you.
and I'll give credit where credits do here.
This was a two's idea.
I like to shit on them a lot,
but this was a two's idea to try and.
Oh, Tuesdays just likes to take credit for all the ideas.
You do like to take credit for all the ideas.
I'm trying to be nice here.
And you're going to make the point of it.
That's fine.
It's fine.
It's fine.
It was a two's idea.
And seeing all you lovely people come through and get to shake hands and meet some of you guys and gals,
was it cool.
Honestly, it was very,
It was worthwhile.
So thank you so much for that.
Well, and it's funny, you know, even like I got a text from Zane.
And he was like, look, a good buddy.
I didn't even see him there.
I didn't even have a chance to talk to him.
But I did get 30 seconds on the big screen to several rounds of applause, which was great.
Talking about the Alberta Bill of Rights.
All I did was just say that maybe we should have some good laws in place so we don't have to trust the people in charge.
although the biggest round of applause by far was the guy who said that
that Alberta needs to separate.
Yes.
With the biggest round of applause the entire weekend,
probably including the whole leadership results?
Well, maybe not.
I'll say this.
I think everybody in that building, including Daniel Smith, was shocked.
And I don't use that word lightly that she got 91.5%.
I think everybody, I think a healthy majority of us thought she would get around
80%, I would say. My number was
78. I heard 87. I heard
76, but relative
in that range, nobody had 90s.
I was just, you know,
I think all of us were a little bit floored
at 91.5%. That's a pretty
clear indication from the
membership of what they thought of
Daniel Smith.
Or maybe they were just too scared
to present another
alternative, but maybe that's just me. I don't think
I think it's a, okay, here's
the thing, is the difference between 92
and 87%.
I think there was definitely
some people who were like, well,
because I mean, I talked to them.
They're like, well, yeah, we don't really like it.
But seriously, do we need another leader at this point?
They're like, okay, well, we'll just give her a carp launch forever then.
It was fun.
We will be back next AGM, which I hear is in Eminton, right?
We heard that there, right?
The next AGM is going to be in Aiton.
I don't know.
I want to say it's going to be in Eminton.
I think that's what they said.
I don't know if I want to go to an event bad enough to do it.
in Edmonton. I know. I know. I thought the same thing when I'm like,
Emmington. Come on. But if it's there, we'll plan to be there. So,
twos. What do we got next? Update BC election. Okay, election BC says it has discovered
that a ballot box containing 8161 votes wasn't counted in the recent provincial election,
as well as other mistakes, including 14 votes going unreported in a crucial riding,
narrowly won by the NDP. You might wonder why 14 votes matters because the guy won by like 24 votes,
right. That's how tight it was.
This review, which started last Wednesday and ended Sunday, identified what the statement
describes as data entry omissions that resulted in mistakes in the count vote counts in 69
of the province's 93 ridings.
That is a bad luck.
69 writings.
Yes.
Okay.
So here, our, there's, our, our elections are 100% fair and balanced.
There's never anything fucking.
We were talking about it.
it as it was unfolding in the live stream.
We're like, oh, they, they said that due to the inclement weather, whether people shouldn't
go out and vote.
And like right off the bat, there was, there was that.
And then there was the power outages.
And, oh, and it wasn't power outages.
It was just like, oh, this building lost power.
The building where we're counting the ballots in doesn't have any power in.
This is so weird.
This never happens, except once every four years.
And then the whole like, well, we got a lot of mail in and.
phone in ballots and you just the things that make you go hmm keep piling up and i don't i haven't
seen anything that makes me think oh right there that's the smoking gun but i hate that they're
normalizing this shit because if it's just a whole bunch of hand ballots nobody leaves the room
till they're all counted everything's done figured out we all know what's going on we all go
home. But when this shit keeps happening on and on and on again, then if and when you see something
that seems illegitimate, you point it out and they're like, oh, well, shit like that happens all the
time. And that's exactly it. Shit like this should not happen at all, bar none. They're eroding
election integrity. Keep it simple. Okay. Don't normalize fuckery in elections. Okay. This isn't Venezuela.
all right and uh yeah are you guys going to run like for office for office no no no so my primary reason
for going was to support her are you guys going to run my my goal of my my goal of starting a podcast
wasn't to become a politician it was to try and i don't know talk about sports yeah and now it's
evolved into trying to hold accountable uh politicians accountable and and talk to the issues we see i don't
be as soon as you get into becoming UCP, you're going to be, how many, I can't give any names.
One of the things I found interesting about the UCPA-GM, I talk to a lot of people, some that are
currently in government, some that have differing thoughts, but they're not allowed to say them.
That's their words, not mine.
And I'm like, oh, well, we get to come on here and be who we are.
And as soon as you sign up and become that, your-
You tow the line or you get out.
Kaelin Ford, one, right?
Drew Barnes.
True Barnes.
I mean, Nadine Wellwood, by all accounts, right?
Her story.
That's one latest ones.
You know, you can love or hate the woman, but that's the story.
So you're like, I probably wouldn't fit that well.
That's the nice thing is we can't really, we're not going to kick ourselves off our own show.
Hopefully not.
I don't know.
You keep slapping those red bulls and interrupted all the time if we think about it.
But yeah, a few people in the comments saying it is.
Edmonton or in this case, fucking Edmonton,
which is pretty accurate.
How do you do, fellow extremists?
The RCMP is planning to conduct undercover surveillance online using fake personas to
investigate ideological extremists in Canada, says an internal strategy document.
Experts in ideologically motivated violent extremism,
IMVE in Canada say that the strategy is overdue at a time when online extremism
threatens to spill over to the real world violence.
The warning that extremist activity in Canada could increase in the wake of the U.S.
election, the term IMVE can cover anything from white supremacists and neo-Nazis
to the far-left environmental and animal rights organizations.
I mean, imagine if this stuff actually does start manifesting in real life.
you know what if these ideologically motivated violent extremists start burning down places of worship
or having mass protests that they're throwing around smoke bombs and assaulting the people on
the other side of it along racial lines like what if that starts happening in real life i mean just
imagine like how how much of a pressure cooker it is to have people saying what they think on the
internet when when it bears the very real possibility of terms of terms of
turning into a hundred burned down churches.
That's obviously what they need to be focusing on.
Because imagine if that were to happen.
I can't imagine.
Somebody says, because it's just Facebook user,
look what, look at the look at what's happening in Brampton, Ontario.
Imagine going back in time 10 years and saying that if you fucks vote Justin Trudeau in,
the Indian Civil War will be taking place in,
Brampton, Ontario.
Will erupt in Brampton, Ontario.
Like India.
That giant, at the top of the Indian Ocean, that giant country with a billion people,
they will have a civil war if you vote for Justin Trudeau, and it will take place in Brampton,
Ontario.
Two's new conspiracy theory.
Well, folks, everybody buckle up here because I've got to all the conservatives in Canada
who claim that the global demand for EVs is declining.
And then there's a chart.
I'm going to pull up.
So this is Ryan Turnbull, Liberal Member of Parliament.
And he's pointing out that the global demand for EVs as a share of total vehicle sales is increasing.
Now, interesting thing is he based this on this place, the IEA 50 global electric car stock between 2013 and 2023.
And you notice it's going up exponentially.
It's crazy how fast this is increasing.
And what are the really big numbers at the bottom of them?
Excuse me.
Well, let's take a closer look.
Well, almost half of them are battery powered electric vehicles in China.
And another very large subset of this is plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in China.
In fact, they constitute a little over half.
Now, the country that no one's really allowed to freely come and go in and out of without worrying about being detained at a fucking jail for three years, where they don't have a free press, where the people aren't allowed to publicly talk about what's going on, the one where they made a bunch of fake videos where they were welding people's doors shut at the start of a pandemic to scare it.
everybody. According to their company's data, which every company in China has to be at least 50%
owned by the government, according to the data released by these companies, China is over half of
the global demand for EVs. Now, this is also the same country where almost every single
fucking battery for an EV gets manufactured. Now, call me crazy. Call me tin foil.
hat, but you've got this closed black box that makes all the batteries for these fucking
things.
And they're saying, well, global demand is on the rise because we're buying all of them.
Are they even making them?
Or are they fudging the numbers so that the companies are the companies owned by Chinese
government fudging the numbers on sales so that the companies owned by Chinese government
who make batteries can sell them to companies owned
by whoever the fuck that gets billions of dollars in subsidies
from their local governments, i.e. Canada,
which can then be spent on batteries in fucking China.
Are you saying the mashup goes on the, goes it takes a flight?
Go talk to some.
Well, it would be one way.
Go talk to some Chinaman.
Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature.
I don't know, isn't it?
All I'm saying is that it's suspicious as fuck.
It's just a little bit too goddamn convenient,
especially when they have a track record for fuckery.
UCP aims high.
The Alberta government on Thursday dismissed the CEO in the board
at Alberta's Investment Management Corporation,
setting displeasure with increasingly high cost
and reliance on third parties.
Three other executives have also departed the provincial pay.
pension plan finance minister Nate Horner confirmed Thursday afternoon.
The changes were made to restore trust in the Emmington-based Crown Corporation and
institutional investor responsible for managing several public funds and pensions.
The province said AIMCO had, has seen significant increases in operating costs and fees
alongside returns on investments that have not corresponded with the cost increases the province
had added.
So this thing, they basically have spent.
So they went from $129.7 million in 2019 to 22.3, which is just a little bit too much as far as I'm concerned in 2023.
And over that time, they went from managing 82% of the funds internally to managing only 67% of the funds internally.
So they're outsourcing almost half, well, two thirds of it right now.
They're outsourcing two thirds of it.
And during that time, in the last four years, they're insourcing.
annual costs have gone up 71% in a day and age where you could just diversify across a bunch of
ETFs that basically use the couch potato strategy and you're going to get the best return on
investment based on what's happening in the stock market.
You could literally take any half decent halfway smart person.
It doesn't even need to be a professional money manager.
You just say, we're going to buy a bunch of ETFs.
You pay them 100.
maybe $150,000 a year
because it's cushy government employment.
You've got to give them lots of money.
Instead of $22.3 million,
you could get that down to $200,000 a year.
I'm going to try and get an aide horn in her on.
That's what I'm going to try and do.
I met him at Shane's fundraiser there
that I am ced a couple years ago.
Pretty good dude.
I like them.
I've been hearing a lot of that lately.
Now, once again,
haven't met him. So until that happens, I, yeah, we'll see what we can pull off.
If only you were in the same room as him recently, maybe you could have gone and talked to him.
It's fair. It's fair.
Remembrance Day retardation. Well, a Halifax School, elementary school, that is, under fire-free,
telling veterans and soldiers to ditch their uniforms for its Remembrance Day service has walked back its ask.
Sackville Heights Elementary School, which is located in the Halifax suburb of Lower Sackville.
made the request in a November newsletter to the community.
It is said that given the diverse makeup of our school community
and being responsive to our students,
any current and former members of Canadian Armed Forces
who plan to attend the school's Remembrance Day Service
should consider leaving their uniforms at home.
They commented after our school is extremely diverse
and some students who have come from countries experiencing conflict
have expressed discomfort with images of war,
which included those of individuals and military uniforms.
First off, before we get into this, two things.
One, I have bought like four or five poppies this year.
I'm sorry, I'm not wearing one today.
They keep falling out and you guys need to get the ones with the buttons as just the mainstream stand-alone standard ones.
Okay?
Just the pins that come out, can we stop doing those?
please secondly let's take a minute to appreciate the fact that this is in a place called
lower sackville and sean's going to agree with me yep yep yep yep yeah sure yep there you go
i just thought i'm like why didn't i put it on sitting on my jacket you know it goes everywhere
and i grew twos the ones with the back would be like a thousand times better it must be cost
that's got to be what it is right okay but i would rather
Like look at the amount of money that I, because I put five bucks in there every time.
Yeah.
Which I don't know.
Maybe that's how they make more money.
Although I did see a guy at the hotel last weekend.
Go up, grab a poppy without putting any money in.
Without putting any money in?
And I was so shocked.
It took me a minute to register.
And then he was already, but it was just like, did he just, did, did, did it.
And he was already gone before I could even like, you're so flummoxed by something.
You're like, did I just fucking see that?
Okay. And then now you got this shit where they want people who go to the Remembrance Day ceremony, actual veterans to just in their civvies.
Yeah.
Because it's not good.
Like, if you're, if you're deployed somewhere, you're not wearing your dress uniform when you're going around defending freedom, freedom.
The further we get away from war twos, the less people understand what Remembrance Day signifies.
and what the men in uniform signify.
And so they're like, oh, they could just show up and be in dressed in civilian clothes.
They're like, are you serious?
Like, are you serious?
That's an insane thought.
But that is the thought of our world now because we're, you know.
Because they might trigger some people.
Yes.
Who are, who came from war-torn places?
Correct.
Motherfucker.
If anything, you should be like, oh, thank.
Like, if you came from a war-torn place and you see,
Canadian soldier in uniform?
That's not like when you see a cop car and you're like,
oh, shit, am I speeding?
That's like, oh, thank fuck the cavalry's here.
You're like, it's so good to see you guys.
And if you're being taught that that isn't the case,
you're being taught fucking wrong.
We reached out to, and by we, I mean me, because it was my idea,
reached out to the principal of this school to see if she wanted to comment on it
or if she wanted to come on today and speak to it.
and maybe just help us explain how fucking ass backwards this is.
But did not receive a response, sad.
The goofy news.
Gen Alpha keeps tripping and falling over their own crocs.
So we go from where civilian clothes to tripping over crocs.
So schools are banning shoes over safety concerns.
These are dozens of schools across more than 12 states have implemented a crock ban.
And if you're wondering what a Gen Alpha is, that's kids born in 2010 and onward.
And then peanut the squirrel decapitated.
I think, you know, two's mentioned it earlier on.
But Peanuts, grieving owner, Mark Longo told the post he's planning a lawsuit against the State Department of Environmental Conservation after they raided his home, took the squirrel away and euthanized it for tests for rabies.
Yeah, that's that's going on.
And then, you know, we talked.
Just just real quick about the squirrel.
Sure.
Everybody blew up about it.
But here's a take I thought was really good.
This isn't me.
Why is the squirrel so important?
Because when government will invade your home and kill your pets,
it suddenly feels real to average Americans.
Insert Canadians here.
It brings the horror of being under the boot of tyrants to life.
This straw may be the one that breaks the back of tyrannical government overreach
and those who practice its evil.
So be it true liberty.
Six temper tyrannis.
Yeah, well, well put.
The final goofy news is North Korean soldiers hooked on porn
after getting internet access for the first time
while helping Russia fight Ukraine.
We talked about this.
You remember when we talked about this with them taking the Starlink,
I want to say,
out to some tribes that had never experienced.
Yeah,
and then they took these uncontacted tribes.
They gave them Starlink.
And then they started by the power.
He collapsed because all they wanted to do
is sit around and watch porn all the time.
Well, apparently North Korea,
which is the next best thing to an uncontacted tribe at this point.
Isn't it funny how you just,
you draw a line right?
down the middle of the country.
You give one side communism, one side capitalism,
check in 50 laters and see which one still has the lights on.
Anyways, these poor saps in North Korea that are being sent to help out Russia,
they get out of North Korea for the first time.
And they're like, oh, there's this magical device that you carry around in your pocket
and you can just look at anything and like, oh, you could see boobs on it.
and then like the mortars are going off all around them guns firing and they're just sitting there like boobs boobs boobs boobs boobs boobs
men are simple creatures and it's it's nice to know that even in a place as ass backwards as north korea
we're really not all that different the censorship has sailed uh danger cat show was canceled in peace river
and we're not going to bring up the video
because the video was about seven minutes long
but it was an interesting town council
where basically
they cited a bunch of things
but the mayor didn't even know who
had never been to,
didn't know anything about the Danger Cats
just heard it was evil racist misogynist
and said we're not going to have that here
meanwhile in this small town
that I mean no offense to them
but I imagine they probably have a difficult
time getting
a lot of
shows and whatnot to come through town.
Because it's kind of out of the way.
Like you just drive, drive all the,
all the way to GP and then just go north
for 45 minutes, right?
Like it's just, it's not,
it's not on the way to much of anything
with the exception of Anchorage.
Actually, it's not even on the way to Anchorage.
And so, you know, they got this show.
These guys want to show up and do a show?
No, we're not interested.
Like, that's,
going to do great stuff for the economy, mayor.
And in Peace River of all places, why not have somebody who just says, well, I mean,
like, like it was said in the video, like if you don't like it, you don't show up.
And that's it.
What's, what would be a better message to send to somebody who's going to spend money,
booking a venue, staying at a hotel, all the gas there and back, their food, their time,
their effort to book a place and have nobody show up.
But you have to take the chance that it'll be good and people are going to enjoy it.
And if it is good and people are going to enjoy it, you win either way.
So here, show rescheduled for Berwyn.
Activists are calling that establishment now and calling the owner racist.
Shout out to Wayne Larsen from Mother Truckers for standing up to censorship.
Being called racist is completely irrelevant at this point.
So if anybody listening is worried about being called racist,
don't, don't.
It's totally meaningless.
Like, what if I care about the economy?
Racist.
What if, what if I think that we shouldn't cut the dicks off of preteen children,
racist?
It just, it never ends.
And you know what?
Actually, from, from like a fiscal standpoint,
it does make more sense,
given the fact that the government pays for the dick cutoffs,
regardless of the age of the person,
from a fiscal standpoint,
it makes a little bit more sense
to cut them off when they're still smaller.
But that doesn't make it right.
And so even me,
who's just a staunch,
whatever is the cheapest way possible,
that's what the government should do?
Not in this case.
But that makes me a racist.
Okay, fine, whatever.
Let's talk about cutting dicks off.
transgender sports updates.
Boise State women's volleyball team has already informed San Jose State
that it plans to forfeit the second match between the two schools scheduled for November 21st.
The Broncos were the first Mountain West school to forfeit a match against the Spartans
due to the presence of a transgender player, Blair Fleming.
And just to give you a point of why this is important is they're sitting in six spot,
could use the win.
It doesn't matter where they're sitting.
Fair enough, but just because this will continue.
continue until everybody just says if you've got a transgender, we're not going to play anymore.
True, Tase.
All right.
The second thing is Algerian boxer Imani.
It's even in his name.
Khalif has X, Y, chromosomes, and testicles.
His medical reports show that he has X, Y, chromosomes, male testosterone levels, testicles, and a micropenus.
This is the guy who won the gold medal in boxing.
Now, I don't know about you, folks,
but I didn't need a medical report to know that guy has a micropinus.
Emissions cap is emissions crap.
The federal government unveiled draft regulations Monday
that will impose a greenhouse gas cap on oil and gas sector
that limits emissions to 35% below 2019 levels.
Canada's oil and gas sector,
which is responsible for nearly a third of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions,
will have four years to phase in that reduction.
Premier Daniel Smith,
launched a blazing attack on Ottawa, Monday after the feds finally announced this.
Prime Minister Justin Chardot has a deranged vendetta against Alberta, she said.
Whenever the provinces tries to negotiate, she added,
they hammer you on the head when your back is turned.
That's fair and accurate.
I think, I don't know, as far as I'm concerned here,
and you can tell me I'm wrong at any point, and I'll just talk over you.
But it seems to be the way today's going, isn't it, folks?
supposedly I'm the one that talks too much.
Carry on, Tuse.
Carry on.
Let's hear what Tews S say today.
If they actually cared about greenhouse gas emissions,
they would just make it blanket.
They would say that transport and manufacturing
and every industry and the individuals need to reduce their emissions by 30%.
If saving the environment is the most important thing you can possibly care about,
why are you handpicking one industry out of all of them to reduce by,
30% why not reduce them all and as you get more and more reductions each subsequent one is going to
get harder it would probably be a lot easier to if you need a certain amount reduced which is that
30% of oil and gas sector if you spread that out across all industries it would be much easier for
each individual industry to find the little savings here and there if that's what was super
important. But if you're a party that is down 20 points in the polls, your almost entire
caucus is facing annihilation in the next election, which could come at any fucking time.
And the only time you have ever had an uptick in the polls in the past decade has been when
you've been picking fights with people, you're going to go to old faithful, which in this
case for once is not abortion. It's federal government versus albishop.
So hopefully Danielle Smith, I don't know, maybe you're a fan of the show now after we met last weekend.
If you're listening, this is bait.
As much as it would be just beautiful to encourage all the oil and gas producers in Alberta to say,
we don't want to work with hostile foreign governments anymore, including fucking Ontario.
As much as that would be nice to do, you need to push back on this without being antagonism.
As much as I love the all-out guns blazing, fuck you liberals.
That's not the right strategy right here because they're going to try and make you look like the bad guy for punching them back.
This is, they're trying to, they're trying to instigate a penalty right now and don't fall for it.
Sean, am I wrong?
I was just thinking about when I introduced you to the premier and we took a picture and two didn't smile.
That's what I was thinking of.
You're not wrong.
There's lots of what you said there.
Whether or not the Premier takes any of your advice, who knows?
Fair enough.
Buzz me and we'll move on.
Reservations about the other Randy.
Okay, everybody buckle up.
I want to read a bunch of this.
Okay?
We're talking about Randy Bousineau, the guy who is the other Randy, right?
A company that belonged to federal employment minister, Randy Boseno, said it was
indigenous owned while bidding on federal contracts.
While Bosano, who at the time co-owned global health imports, he said in the past that he is
indigenous, he recently stated publicly that he is white.
Quoted, Global Health is wholly owned indigenous and an LGBTQ company, Bosano's former
business partner, Stephen Anderson, as specified in June 2020 bid by Global Health Imports
Cooperation for a contract to the supply space mask.
National Post obtained the bid through an access to information request.
Anderson repeated the statement in a follow-up message to public services and procurement
Canada and called the company Aboriginal twice when submitting another bid to supply face shields.
Isn't it weird that the liberals who pushed face masks so hard had companies that supplied face masks?
To qualify as an indigenous supplier, G.H.I, that's their company, needed to be at least 51% owned by people who are citizens of First Nations,
Métis, and Inuit communities, or a member of a group of physical.
affiliated with the Congress of Aboriginal peoples,
which represents indigenous people living off reserve.
Indigenous suppliers must also registered on an official list
when National Post-asked Indigenous Services Canada,
both GHS application.
A spokesperson replied that the startup never completed it.
Since Bozano and Anderson split the company ownership 50-50,
both would have to be indigenous for GHI to meet the program's criteria.
Are we getting the point here?
Yeah, yep, yep.
So.
And in 2021, he,
He told, this is Bosun-O Randy, told extra and online LGBTQ magazine that he was a white cisgendered member of the community.
It's funny because now apparently he's gay.
And if you saw the videos of Stephen Anderson, he is definitely gay.
So this whole thing is gay and retarded.
And we can say that now because Trump won.
So not only is the other Randy is native now.
Yes.
You think this could, this story couldn't get worse?
It just gets, like, or better or whatever you want to call it.
It just keeps going down and down and there's more layers to this thing.
He, he, uh, abandoned his 50% stake in a multi-million dollar company.
Um, the, there was arson that burned down the warehouse after they were facing a half dozen legal suits from various, um, companies that they were supposed to be working with.
Uh, he apparently used his, um, when he was supposed to know.
no longer be acting director of this company.
He was still involved in it despite being a cabinet minister.
And now it turns out he lied about being native on the application yet government contracts.
Correct.
Yes.
Like the deeper you dig in on this guy's a piece of work.
I mean, just just pie in the sky.
What else could this company have been doing aside from.
Sweatshop labor?
Do you think that, I don't know.
Like, what, how greasier could this company possibly be at this point?
You know what I mean?
Like, it just, he checks every, every box.
And instead of the liberal thing about diversity,
it checks every single box about being unscrupulous,
dishonest, and a complete fucking fuckwad,
while somehow still managing to not go to fucking jail.
All right, we got a bunch of comments to catch up on.
isn't identifying as native the 2S plus plus part of the rainbow crew yeah it's the 2s part but you don't not
every native is 2s but apparently all 2s spirit two spirit i here's the thing is the the rules
are so nebulous and all over the place that nobody even really knows for sure not even them
and that's the way they like it because they can just say whatever they want like this the nDP
is not a serious party uh this is a western state
Senator article. It says it's fair to ask what's happening with Nenshi. He dominated the party's
leadership race in June, securing 62,000 plus votes. His competitors got only 10,000 combined.
His margin of victory has been characterized as unprecedented in recent Canadian politics.
Nenshi is not only absent, though, from the front bench of the legislature and the backbench
for that matter, but he has no bench at all. He's watching the new legislative session from the
public gallery like any other Alberton could do if they wanted to waste their time and have no
vote. Nenshi has seldom shied away from speaking out. He must demonstrate now first to his caucus,
then to El Burtons that he is the leader of the province's official opposition. That entails
winning a seat in legislature, which he hasn't done. And I don't know what you two. No plans. No plans.
I very interesting. Well, I mean, it's tricky because you've got this double-edged sword with Calgary where,
yeah, that's his stronghold.
But he resigned from being mayor, citing racism, despite the fact that he won three terms.
He said he wasn't going to get in next time because of racism.
And it was because he was an asshole.
He was just an absolute douchebag.
And he did a lot of greasy shit.
And so he's not well thought of in his stronghold.
It's just that he's a really big name, which is why when the NDP put forth a half dozen
and complete fucking duds as potential leaders.
They said, well, we're totally fucked if any of these people win.
So we're going to make an exception.
We're going to put all these women aside.
The NDP, the party of equality of minority representation, of feminism is going to allow
a man to break the rules to enter the leadership convention to sweep it from all of these
otherwise deserving, completely capable and wonderful and fallible women.
And now that he's here, he's not even trying to get a seat.
And somebody says, agree.
I assume it's with something I said.
Perfectly reasonable expenses.
Local teachers union at the Ontario Catholic School Bard has called on four trustees,
including the board's chair, to resign after they spent more than $120,000 in public funds on a trip to Italy this summer to buy religious artwork for a new high school that
being built. The board has faced widespread criticism since revelations last month.
The four trustees chair Rick Petrella, Bill Trop, Dan Dignard, and Mark Watson spent $50,000 for a
week-long July trip to Northern Italy, where they also purchased $72,000 in artwork,
including life-sized wooden statues of St. Padre Pio and the Virgin Mary. In response to an
access of information request, the board recently released details of the expenses that
included $28,000 in public funds on airfare, $1,600 for a dinner, and $15,900 for hotels in Munich and Italy.
So they needed to go to Italy because they're Catholic and, you know, that's kind of, that's, that's, that's their stronghold.
But yet they also decided to just stop over for October Fest real quick.
They just went to Munich.
Like, well, yeah, obviously, I mean, this is all really important.
You know, we've got to get all the, all the religious artifacts.
and also have a few steins of beer.
The best part of this, though,
is trustees loosen their expenses policy
a month before the trip,
which allowed them to fly business class or higher
if traveling outside North America
and if the trip was more than six hours.
It also allowed for upgraded hotel rooms
and in some situations, alcohol.
I mean, if you're a devout Catholic,
beyond the communion or the sacrament, I guess,
you know, how much alcohol do you really need?
You're a devout Catholic.
And then to say, like, a month before this trip, they made the exception so that they were able to fly business class or better on this flight.
Like, just the entitlement.
It wreaks.
It reeks a liberals.
This is culture trickles down.
When the prime minister of the country does this shit for years and years and years, everybody else thinks that they should be able to do it too.
And he shouldn't and they shouldn't.
I think they're going to be made to pay everything back, though.
I think I saw that in the article somewhere, but I'm not going to look it up.
Just another day in Toronto.
Toronto police are investigating the kidnapping of the CEO of Cryptocurrency Company Wonderfi Technologies Incorporated,
who was allegedly abducted in Toronto on Wednesday and held for ransom.
Officers received a call about kidnapping at University Ave in Richmond Street shortly after 6 p.m.
and said in a statement,
the suspects whose identities are unknown forced Dean Skirka into a vehicle and demanded money.
He was later found safe and uninjured in Centennial Park about 23 kilometers west.
Mr. Skirker was first identified by the CBC, which reported that a $1 million ransom had been paid electronically.
And Mr. Skirko was first identified, which report, oh no, and it read that twice.
I don't know.
He was paid a million bucks to get him out.
This is the kind of thing you hear about in shady parts of Africa.
where if you go work overseas where you go work overseas for an oil and gas company and you've got security detail you got a bulletproof car you got to drive with your light on at night in that car because it's just standard accepted that in south sedan as an example if anybody's driving with their interior light off at night it's because they've got guns or bombs or rockets and so you just if you see a vehicle with the light off at night you shoot a
at it. That's the kind of place that you expect this to happen in.
Instead of downtown Toronto at 6 o'clock at night, broad daylight in a city of however many
million fuckwads, this country has lost its goddamn mind.
A million dollar ransom in downtown Toronto in the middle of the day.
Somebody says, I use wonder if the stock sucks.
It started at $3, three years ago and still can't catch.
a win during a huge crypto run.
Yeah, I don't know.
Maybe I haven't been following that.
I know that Bitcoin hit an all-time high during the election.
Parading over a cliff, as Toronto prepares for the annual Santa Claus parade, that festive
jingling sound isn't coming from sleigh bells, but a collection cup facing rising costs
of McCanna's ongoing, ongoing affordability crisis.
The 120th edition of the parade is in financial hot water, prompting organizers to issue a
co-fund me campaign to help keep the annual tradition on the street.
Quoted in the spirit of togetherness for our 120th anniversary,
we're asking anyone who holds a heartfelt memory of the parade to consider donating $2,12, $120,
or any amount they're inspired to give.
Yeah, their goals of $250,000 is what they want to raise.
While corporate sponsors make up the bulk of the parade's annual funding,
fewer sponsorship dollars in growing costs have put the parade,
which endured two world wars and the Great Depression,
dire straits. You can get through two world wars and a great depression, but you can't get through
having Olivia Chow as mayor and Justin Trudeau as prime minister and Doug fucking Ford as premier.
The other thing, cost cutting has also spelled the end of the parade's annual television
broadcast on CTV, leaving a YouTube live stream the only way to catch the parade without
bundling up and heading streetside. I like Brian. We've had them on the show before. Brian pass a few.
I got to push back on this a little bit.
a completely redundant and irrelevant streaming,
which gets no views because nobody even has cable anymore being dropped.
It's not a bad thing.
If anything, this, by having it on YouTube,
you're opening it up for more people to watch.
And so I get the fact that from the perspective of,
we can't afford to do this anymore,
it may come across as a bad thing.
But I would say in the long run,
you're going to be way further ahead than trying to air it.
in a format no one's going to tune into.
Well, I don't know.
To me, when I, when I read it, I'm like, you see the history and it pains the guy
because I love things that, you know, last the test of time.
But you got to start thinking outside the box on how to get people involved with it.
And certainly, you know, sitting on this side of the world, I'm like, have you ever
turned into the Toronto Santa Claus parade?
I don't know.
No.
No.
The answer is no.
So you got to find creative ways to,
enlist the city of Toronto.
Meanwhile, we just told the story about a guy getting kidnapped downtown Toronto and a million bucks going.
I mean, like imagine this parade goes on and those same fucking guys kidnapped Santa Claus and ransom him for a million dollars.
This is the kind of story that I would expect us to be talking about in three weeks.
Canadian polls are garbage.
Where is the poll?
Here it is.
I'm going to pull it up.
I'm going to pull it up.
You don't want me to pull it up?
I want you to go to the news, Ardineineineine.
A majority of Canadians would support making the denial of residential schools at atrocities
a criminal offense according to a new survey.
Okay.
And here I'm just going to show you the article real quick.
For those of you listening along, it's a fairly brief blurp.
It's maybe a couple hundred words.
And it doesn't actually deal with the meat of the poll.
It just says that asked how they would like their MP to vote on the bill, 50% of the survey
respondent said they would definitely or probably want their local representative to back the proposal
by comparison 24% said they would definitely or probably want their MP to vote the bill down.
Now here's where it gets really important.
This is the exact wording of the question.
Me, me, me, me.
Would you want your MP to favor or oppose a bill in the house that would make it a criminal offense to willful,
promote hatred against indigenous people by condoning, denying,
justifying, or minimizing the facts about residential schools.
Just take a minute to process that question.
It actually, both, it actually asks both questions.
The correct answer to this technically would be yes.
Yes.
Okay.
No, it is yes.
Favor or oppose.
Are you in favor?
Do you, are you in favor of this or opposing it?
Yes.
Correct.
Okay. And then it doesn't actually talk about what the facts are or anything to do with the facts.
It doesn't have anything to do with this whole idea that we can't talk about.
There's been no bodies found.
This is.
And it's so charged.
Willfully promote hatred against indigenous peoples.
I like this is, I like, I like why.
I like Wyatt Claypool.
I can see him on yours and he's on mine too.
Oh, yeah.
Claypool's comment.
He said, this is such a poorly worded question.
They all are.
And it's like that on purpose so that it's all ambiguous and nobody even knows what the
fuck they're answering and they can get whatever answer they want.
This is Canadian polls in a nutshell.
All right.
And then we have our next one.
China.
The nexus between science and national security in Canada, the case of the national microbiology
laboratory in Winnipeg.
Of course, this was released at a time when, you know, the U.S.
election is going on.
They quietly dropped this on election day because nobody was going to be looking at it.
Isn't it funny how this always happens?
We talk about this every once in a while, Sean.
Whenever it's something particularly damning, it gets dropped on a day when no one's going
to notice it.
Or on a Friday before a long weekend.
Exactly.
So it goes through.
Everything that went wrong with this whole Winnipeg lab leak, which is a conspiracy theory, of course, and that's why they wrote a government report about it, about how there are these Chinese spies working at a Winnipeg lab, and they got busted trying to leave the country with vials of viruses.
And when they did leave the country, no one's exactly sure what they did or did not have on them.
and then they left there and went to the Wuhan Institute of Virology
where there was a subsequent lab leak and all of a sudden nobody can go to the fucking movies anymore.
So they came out with this list of recommendations.
They say things like in an expeditious manner and prevent those under investigation for natural security breaches from leaving the country.
You have to actually go as far to recommend to the government
that anybody under investigation for national security breaches
should not be allowed to leave the country.
You actually had to look at this and come up with that recommendation.
How fucking dumb are our bureaucrats?
Well, it's not as though somebody specifically recommended
that we not let them leave the country.
They actually had to write this down, Sean.
At TD, everything is fine.
D.
Toronto Dominion Bank has paid $6.5 million for cheating thousands of credit card customers for decades.
TD withheld fee rebates worth $71 million.
It's actually almost 72.
It's almost 72.
So they paid a $6.5 million fine.
But got to keep $72 million.
Correct. Think about that.
Now, if I'm a big business that just recently got fined several billion dollars for money laundering, by the way.
Correct.
And then I'm also cheating my, I don't know.
What would you even call them?
Customer base?
Sure.
Yeah.
If I get caught cheating my customers, $72 million.
and I get fined less than 10 cents on the dollar.
Wouldn't you think the right appropriate reaction would be you stole $71 million.
Not only do you have to pay the $71 million back, but now maybe you have to pay back even more than that twos?
Yeah.
Like shouldn't be, I don't know, double, triple the fine so that you never do it again.
Put a zero on it.
They literally just incentivized stealing.
It's like, well, we're-
Absolutely.
And the other, other, other worst part of it.
this is that it's not going back to the people it's going to our government correct and we're
going to we're going to use it to buy a bunch of fuel for stephen gay balls and just and trudeau
to fly around the country telling us how bad alberta is i'm pretty sure i just watched uh free lind say
we gave five billion in ukraine so like all right well there you go we give it i mean we're we're
pissing in a way it doesn't matter it's just you you see that they they're worth 71 million dollars
they got fine six and a half.
I'm not good at math, but that doesn't work.
It doesn't even make sense.
So I'm in this tiny.
It was either Homer or Kenai.
I was up in Alaska and I was in this tiny airport,
like the way Fort Mac used to be,
but like a tenth of the size of the old Fort Mac airport,
picture that kind of thing.
And this thing was old as hell.
And there was a sign on the wall that said anyone smoking in this building
will be fined.
it was like $2.75.
That was the fine for smoking in that building.
I was like, I should just have a smoke in here.
I should just rip a dart right next to that sign and just be like,
here's three bucks, keep the change.
Have you watched the documentary or the movie?
Maybe it's, maybe there's two on.
Documentaries are movies.
Thank you.
I meant, it doesn't matter.
You know what I meant, you jackass.
Yes.
On Jordan wearing red shoes, the Nike,
Swiss shoes that were red for the Bulls.
That was a fine in the NBA.
And they're like, well, how much is the fine?
And I forget what the fine is, but they're like, well, let's just pay the fine.
Because the fine isn't that bad.
And we're going to sell millions upon millions of dollars of these shoes.
Yeah, and that's what they do.
Yeah, that's what they do.
Now you watch the NBA, everybody's got colored shoes, right?
Because the fine didn't match, you know, oh, nobody will do it because we'll slap them
on the wrist.
You watch TD Bank make $71 million and have to pay back six and a half that because
they broke the rules.
Everybody's going to start doing it.
Like, I mean, like, oh, you, you made several million dollars breaching the conflict of interest
act.
And your best case scenario is exposure.
And your worst case scenario is a $200 fine?
People Stein is going to give us exposure?
It's an ethics violation.
Catherine Tate, head of the CBC just got fined $200 for violating the conflict of interest
act.
Although, to be fair, it seemed like a really minor slip up that she immediately tried to rectify
and reported it herself.
and they find her $200.
But she did violate the Conflict of Interest Act
and was fined $200.
That's chump change for these guys.
When George Chahal got caught cheating in the fucking election,
he got fined, what, $1,000?
That $1,000 fine allowed him to have a four-year job
making $180,000 a year.
You do that without even questioning it.
The comments have fucking blown right up.
Or jail.
Thanks for these regulations.
TD fine going to the U.S. government, though.
I think the money laundering one went to the U.S. government.
Fire them all and start over.
It was TD in the USA.
Not sure what's all connected between Canada and U.S. branches.
I mean, the name.
But, yeah, this is insane.
And it's just going to keep continuing.
Now, Sean, play the Trudeau song.
We like to say people kind, not necessarily mankind.
It's more inclusive.
There we go, exactly.
And the budget will balance itself.
Man, you are one pathetic loser.
I'm going to throw it back at you.
Show the video, twos.
Here we go.
This is, for those of you unfamiliar with the guy, this is Justin Trudeau.
He's the prime minister of this country.
The conservative leader just admitted he would not have invested in TMX.
He would not have gotten it built.
But Mr. Speaker, on this side of the aisle, we will stand up for Alberta.
We will stand up for oil and gas workers across the country because we know that getting overseas markets for oil and gas.
Sorry, just for those of you in the back, listen to this part one more time.
Oil and gas overseas markets.
He told a half dozen different countries in the past year that there was no market case for natural gas exports.
This guy is so fucking full of shit.
And yes, of course, Pollyab wouldn't have invested in TMX because he wouldn't have had to.
Okay.
Now, to be clear, the conservatives are not a pro pipeline party.
Section 52 of the N.EB Act, I'll get good on that.
I can get on that soapbox all day long.
but they weren't so anti-pipeline that everybody building a pipeline walked away from it
and the only win that the liberals could scrounge up was to buy it and have it go unbelievably
over budget after they overpaid for it by like 50%, 80% of what it was worth.
So he's right.
Paul Yev wouldn't have bought it because he wouldn't have had to.
The private sector would have done it.
It would have been up a year fucking sooner at all.
a third of the cost, even if it went ridiculously over budget,
without even having to buy it in the first place.
But yeah, to say that he supports exporting Canadian oil and gas
after he is on the fucking record.
And anybody who's been listening to the mashup for a long time,
we pointed it out every single time a new country came up
that he was not going to allow us to export natural gas to.
This guy is so fucking full of shit.
That was a little loud.
The importance of contract negotiations.
Justin Trudeau, sticking on Justin Trudeau,
$2 billion funding agreement with Telesat that was supposed to improve high-speed internet across Canada
has zero requirements to connect any households with high-speed internet.
You can't make that up, folks.
I mean, you literally can't.
Here, let's pull it up here and we'll...
The bottom.
Read the bottom.
Part B.
The funding agreement does not include any commitment in regards to the number of households.
to be connected to high speed internet.
As noted in Part A,
and so there are no associated financial penalties in this regard.
We gave them a multi-billion-dollar deal.
Billion.
Billion.
But a billion dollar deal.
And I get the fact that in Canada,
that's worth less and less and less every goddamn day because of these quads.
But we gave them a multi-billion-dollar deal to get internet to remote areas in
fucking Quebec.
and there is no obligation to even connect one of them.
They could literally.
Walk away with $2 billion.
Just take the $2 billion, go to the fucking K-mans, sit on a beach,
and just every time somebody goes by, I'll take another Pena Colotta,
take it off my tab, take it off my tab,
and they could sit there until they've drank $2 billion worth of Pena Colottas.
And they would still be in fulfillment of this fucking contract.
I don't know what to add to that.
I got nothing to have.
If only we had some happy news.
Okay, happy news.
Let's pull it up here, shall we?
Bingo, this man right here, okay?
Texas man who spent 20 years in prison
becomes a hero twice over, saving lives and daring rescues.
He saved a girl that was drowning,
and then later on he drove by a vehicle that was flipped over on fire,
and the man was not breathing, and he resuscitated him.
And so there you go.
Man is spent as, I don't know, that's pretty cool.
That is very cool.
Like, if it keeps happening, I'm going to get suspicious.
I mean, how many times do you, you know, as a guy who spent 20 years in jail,
end up in situations where people are dying and you've got to save them.
But in all seriousness, you love a good redemption story.
And this guy who spent 20 years in jail for burglary, he gets out and just,
goes around saving people's lives.
Good on him.
By the way,
your ex just quit live streaming.
I know.
I don't know what to do.
What is that?
The ex just hates me right now.
That's going to do a mashup 132.
Community notes, okay?
November 13th, we got the Lloydminster City election
and school board.
Pause real quick.
If you have community notes,
put them in the comments.
Please continue.
If you got community notes going on,
put them in the notes.
Put them in the comments so Tews can read them.
Yes.
So November 13th, it's elections across Saskatchewan, right?
Community elections.
So here in Lloyd Minster, we have our city election.
We got school board elections.
Just had Lee's Merrill, Chris McGowan,
and Charlotte Sebastian on the podcast earlier this week talking about that.
And December 8th, Wainwright-Vermillion,
Lloyd Minster, UCPA, HM and Wainwright at 4 p.m.
That's there.
November 26th, we have the mashups.
live election coverage of Nova Scotia.
So,
uh,
I don't know what the heck we're going to do there.
We got a little,
if you guys know of any good guests.
Yeah.
Um, we as,
as fun as,
and as interesting as the two of us are,
the election live streams,
which have been far surpassing my expectations,
both in terms of fun and how well they've been received.
Um,
we're going to keep this going.
Every,
every election.
provincial territorial and federal in Canada.
And then I don't know,
we should do some goofy one like,
we'll see.
Lichtenstein.
We'll see.
But we want to make sure that we,
we bring on some locals to cover it because us to Albertan boys now
talking about Nova Scotia,
we don't live there.
So we want to get some people on the ground.
So if you have suggestions,
please comment and would love to,
to hear from you on some suggestions.
Kevin Damon has Grandmaster Flavio.
Great meeting you this weekend, by the way.
Grandmaster Flavio bearing seminar Sunday in Eminton.
So there's that.
He was telling me all about that.
The guy just had a fascinating life.
He's coming on the podcast, too, twos.
Okay.
Well, I'm not going to note spoilers then,
but it's probably going to be worth listening to.
All right.
And somebody says watching from Nova Scotia.
Okay, well, tell us who we should be
Who should we be getting from Nova Scotia?
Although I think this guy named Matt Dagley,
I just kind of stumbled across him the other day.
We're going to reach out to him
and then probably the raging dissident
and whoever else.
So, yeah, we'd love to hear what you have to say about that.
And I think that's about it for community notes.
All right, mashup 132 in the books.
Folks, thanks for tuning in.
Toos, until next week.
All right, thanks a lot, man.
