Starting point is 00:00:16 I called a call center the other day. And it was welcome to blah, blah, blah, energy. And then after I'd gone through like four things in the menu, they said something like for business personal and all other inquiries, press one. Why even have that as an option? Just go right forward to whatever one takes me to and skip that entire bit. It's completely pointless. You're literally just purposely making the amount of time I have to
Starting point is 00:00:48 spend dealing with your automated call system fucking longer. And also, has anybody else noticed that despite the fact that our internet has grown by leaps and bounds in the decades since it was first introduced, online catalogs still have this tendency, this propensity to always have like
Starting point is 00:01:08 load up 40 and then you got to click and load more and then click and load more. Meanwhile, they all load in like half a fucking second. And it's not like anybody's worried about bandwidth. This is a relic from like 1995 internet that is completely it's it's the buggy whip. It's the buggy whip fucking thing. And we still do it and everybody still does it despite the fact that even on your phone
Starting point is 00:01:37 with your 50 gig a month plan that extra 330 kilobytes of data from loading all up the entire screen at once isn't going to cost you anything. But it's going to save you when you got to scroll through to find exactly what you're looking for. Like, Jesus Christ, guys, this isn't fucking rocket science. Mashup 134, folks. I wish you could have seen behind the stages in the absolute disaster
Starting point is 00:02:04 I've been this morning. Like, if people could just get a glimpse of Sean before the mashup, they might be a bit shocked. It's been a rough morning. In all the best possible ways. Mashup 134.
Starting point is 00:02:20 Body Melke coming in. Yeah, nothing like a good rant Nothing like a good rant to start the day. Everybody who compliments Tews or says something nice about Tews gets their comment read. Uh-huh. Yeah, Sean was just,
Starting point is 00:02:33 Sean looked like a guy who, dishevelled. Dishevelled. Disheveled this morning. Yeah, like you looked like you just stepped out of an upside-down car. It started last night when I, when I started doing things and I realized Tews hadn't posted any articles yet,
Starting point is 00:02:47 and I started to Twitch. I'm like, ah, crap. Tomorrow's going to be a crap shoot of a morning. I'm going to have to read like, nobody's business and I know Tuesday is going to stick on a whole bunch of articles because it's been a busy week. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:57 And I'm like, well, I'm going to wake up tomorrow morning. I'm going to drink way too many cups of copy and we're going to ram through some news articles. That's exactly what this morning's been on steroids. There was, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:03:09 I mean, look at, there's probably like 15 articles in goofy news. And there's a bunch of them where I'm like, this could easily be its own thing. But I'm like, screw it. We just,
Starting point is 00:03:17 there's so much stuff. And then at the end of, by the time I was getting through all the stuff, I put together over this past week. I was just like, you know what? Is anything fucking monumental? Yes, okay, then we're going to throw it in. And so even with our updated from the OG mashup
Starting point is 00:03:34 to where we just cover everything interesting and hit it super fast, even within that, there was a bunch of stuff that got cut this week. So if your favorite thing you wanted to hear about this week didn't make it, I apologize in advance. Yeah, there's some stuff on the cutting room floor for sure. Morning to Glenn. morning from just east of communist Vancouver.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Well, I guess it's better than being just west of communist Vancouver. Because, Sean, you'd be in the ocean. It's true. Sometimes some people probably wish they were in the ocean. Everybody else, real quick. So, Sean asked me about this hat. He said, what is this hat that you keep wearing? People keep asking me about it.
Starting point is 00:04:15 And people keep asking me about it too. So if you're the kind of person who makes this hat and sends it to people with podcasts, why don't you get an online store and get it set up already so that we can tell people about this hat because everybody wants to fricking buy one. Who's on the hat, too, for people listening? Ralph Klein. It's Alberta and it's Ralph Klein in his infamous flipping off the media picture. And it's all black.
Starting point is 00:04:46 and it's sexy as hell. I love this. You know, when you're giving the person who gave it to you crap about not having an online store, how many times have we gotten crapped on for not having an online store that works or an online store or getting mashup gear? That's fair. That's fair. You know, I kind of understand. I can't understand. Mash up one third.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Okay. Happy Airborne Friday, Jamie Sinclair. Boys, okay? We've been talking about a new theme song. Okay. Now listen, there's multiple things going on here. One is I've had some suggestions. I've had some people reach out and what we'd like to do, I think twos,
Starting point is 00:05:25 and I'm kind of, you know, part of the thing with me and twos right now is we get on with each other, about two hours to four hours a week is what we chat. You think that's a lot. But when you do this show, actually it's included in that time. That's right. So part of what I'm going to do right now is I'm throwing things at twos and I'm making sure he understands where we're where we're at. We want a new theme song.
Starting point is 00:05:48 If you're not for M&M, he's one of the guys that probably wants to leave the United States after Donald Trump got elected. And, well, you can imagine from the mashup sitting point where we think of that. I'm like, okay, well, he's on the wrong side of this and we can't have that introducing the mashup every week. So we're trying to find people from Canada,
Starting point is 00:06:09 but not necessarily, that could create the mashup, a new intro. Okay? People have been taking this all over the place. Sean Newman podcast wants a new intro? No, we're talking about the mashup. We want something cool for the mashup.
Starting point is 00:06:25 So what I would love to do is have multiple submissions that we could play in successive weeks and then allow you fine folks to tell us which one you like. Tews, does that sound not lovely? I think that sounds pretty good. I mean, it doesn't have to be. complicated. We could just have a sexy guitar riff with some drums and maybe a little slap into bass. Slapping the bass. You slept to bass. Sure. And that's it. And maybe like, I don't know, welcome to the mashup somewhere in there, something in there, you know, I don't know. Oh,
Starting point is 00:06:59 we do it like some kind of a rock star thing where it's like, mash ya! Sure. But anyway, that's it. Yes. So, yeah, help us out with that because we're really busy right now. We got a correction to make too, by the way. We do have a correction. So the mashup got it wrong. Unlike the people in the mainstream media, when we all love to shit on from time to time, the mashup likes to own up to its mistakes.
Starting point is 00:07:34 And rather than just quietly burying at the back, we're going to get right out front. Last week we talked about Taylor Swift and how the horses had these friendship bracelets made for them and how we thought that was a waste of taxpayer money. Well, the Toronto Police mounted unit. Our horse's friendship bracelets were handmade with one of our officers'
Starting point is 00:07:58 own personal art supply and his genius creativity at his home. Our way of showing a little bit of Taylor Swift Spirit for this major city event and connecting with some young fans. So that was not a waste of taxpayer money. It was a waste of the time of somebody who works for the taxpayer. which if it's their time, they can do with it what they want. Yes. Yes. All right.
Starting point is 00:08:22 So there's your correction of the week. Before we get to the Coot 6.5 and bringing up those stories, I just wanted to bring back up Value for Value. I've had a bunch of people texting me on this about possibly doing where you have producers of the show, associate producers of the show, a bunch of people sending me content on where Value for Value has been working for other podcasters, that type of thing. We want to continue to talk about this idea here. as we close in on the end of 2024 into 2025,
Starting point is 00:08:51 because I think it's an idea that we should really wrestle with, not only us too here, but all you find folks who tune in each week, I think it could be a lot of fun, but I'm open to being persuaded any new way. I don't want to make any rash decisions, but value for value has been suggested by multiple of our listeners, multiple of our communities,
Starting point is 00:09:10 community, and I would love to just get more thoughts on it and do a little digging on that as well. So we got new theme, music that we want to try and do starting in 2025 is kind of, you know, let's, let's act like we can get something done here over the next month of change, this value for value idea. Um, and of course, then the correction.
Starting point is 00:09:30 If you like and what we do, make sure to share like, subscribe, all those good things. If you're watching on next, give it a retweet, folks. Come on. And if you're watching it somewhere other than YouTube, go on YouTube and subscribe so that we have better subscription numbers on YouTube. Even if you don't watch it there, just go to YouTube and subscribe. And then come back to wherever you watch it from. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:49 What we started last week was the Coots 6.5. Obviously, they got sentenced. And what we were wanting to do was bring up the fact that, I don't know, there's people in Canada doing stupid things and seeing what happens to them. Okay. So Christopher Carver, Anthony, you know, like the two Coots boys who got six and a half years. Well, here's a countrywide arrest warrant has been issued for 25-year-old Ontario man accused of driving a semi-truck through a stop sign before a crash that killed a
Starting point is 00:10:20 manitoba mother and daughter uh that's a he the mom was 35 years old man pretty sad freaking story there he is that's the guy there and then this is he went to the hospital after the uh after the incident he went to the hospital got treated for injuries left and now there's a so they they released him and now he decided to just not go back uh and now there's a canada wide warrant out for him. That's, okay. So that's this guy. If you're looking at it, that's the guy who's a countrywide warrant for him. The second one is this man. An Emmington man was sentenced to 14 years of prison after he sexually assaulted young girls in the capital region, late August, or last August, Emesh Rat, Yaki pleaded guilty to 11 charges, including
Starting point is 00:11:07 sexual interference and child luring. He had lured girls between ages of 11 and 13 on Snapchat. At one point, police were looking to speak about 100, with about 100 children believed to have been lured in Emmington and Mornville. He pleaded guilty to 11 of 37 charges and was sentenced to 14 years of prison. He'd already served a thousand days to. So there's two people here in Canada. So he got a deal where out of the 37 charges, if he pled guilty to 11 of them, he got 14 years. We're basically giving bulk discounts to fucking pedophiles.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Yes. And meanwhile, Coots is locked up for six and a half years. Leaks in lab leaked. Leaks in lab leak leaked. I can read today. A team of scientists, including one in Saskatoon, say they have strong evidence that the COVID-19 virus jumped from an infected animal to humans rather than originating from a laboratory leak. The analysis of hundreds of genetic samples provides strong but circumstantial evidence that the pandemic's origin is connected to wildlife trade in the Hunan seafood wholesale market said, Angie Rasmussen, a study co-author, of the University of Saskatchewan vaccine
Starting point is 00:12:23 in infectious disease organization. Also in the second part of this is a federal court judge has tossed a lawsuit filed by 330 current and former Canadian Armed Forces members, each seeking more than 1.3 million in damages for having their charter rights allegedly violated by a 2021 COVID-19 vaccine mandate directed from superiors. They'll now collectively have to pay $5,040 to Canada in court costs. That's fucking bullshit. absolute fucking bullshit
Starting point is 00:12:55 and I don't think like how do you how do you have a legal standpoint for any of this where where where does any of this stuff make sense it doesn't it doesn't at all and then this lab lake thing if you actually go in and read it in it it basically builds off of a bunch of
Starting point is 00:13:14 samples collected by China who was completely you know no vested interest and saying that their institute of virology released it. You may as well just the story literally said it was unbiased. I'm like, oh. Yeah. Well, and it's funny.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Like it talks about the Lab League theory. And it does talk about how they literally, as recently as last week, were besmirching Robert Ab Kennedy Jr. for talking about this crazy conspiracy theory. It says the theory that the pandemic started after Lab Lake began circulating in the early days of the pandemic. It doesn't talk about like the logic associated with it. How you have like the Wuhan Institute of Coronavirus lab study next to this market that
Starting point is 00:14:05 it supposedly came from. And if you had to pick which one was more likely for it to come from, you'd probably pick the Coronavirus Institute, right? But it said that as data became more gradually, available, top virologists argued the evidence of strongly pointing to the possibility of transmission from animals, and then it goes to Timothy
Starting point is 00:14:29 Caulfield. Who, if you're listening, you're a fucking idiot. Professor at U of A, expert in health and science misinformation, said that many people promoting the idea of a lab leak are trying to create a broader distrust in science institutions. If you don't
Starting point is 00:14:45 believe the lab leak theory, you're the enemy, he said. It's really viewed as a truism that it has been definitively established that the lab leak is the source and if you believe otherwise you're just simply wrong. Well, do you think maybe it had to do with the fact that anybody's saying, well, wait a second here, dot, dot, dot, and that was enough for you to get kicked off of every social media platform
Starting point is 00:15:05 four years ago? You say, well, hold on a second. I'm not sure if, nope, gone. Okay, but have we thought about the fact that, nope, gone. This is the most gaslighting fucking 1984 rewriting history shit you could imagine. Oh, it just, it blows my mind. I don't know what the opposite of co-vindication is, but that story, those stories were in.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Yeah, I was trying to think I was like, actually that would have been a great headline is, what's the opposite of co-vindication. Yes, exactly what was written there. Doge Canada. I'm just going to bring up one of the tweets. I think here, right here is, Table Salt says,
Starting point is 00:15:50 it's time for everyone's favorite game, stupid shit, my Canadian taxpayers pay for. and you can see here there it is 12.2 million for what so Jordan can get child care reduced for women in Jordan correct
Starting point is 00:16:06 there you go Chris Sims had a good one where she's like well what should we call the acronym and so you know she said bear bureaucratic efficiency action regiment somebody said Beaver Bureau for Efficiency accountability vigilance for economic reform
Starting point is 00:16:22 moose ministry of operational optimization and strategic efficiency. I had suggested government office of payment hauling everywhere, halting everywhere reasonable. And I spelled halting wrong. Yeah. I don't know. There's lots to be done with this.
Starting point is 00:16:43 We're going to see what Musk. And obviously, let's talk about Musk. Muskonomics. Also about Musk and Doge. CTV did this this sad sob story about how Musk and Ramoswamy trying to find efficiencies in the government is just going to drive a whole bunch of people to quit.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Like there's one person who left D.C. entirely and went to go live in the Midwest because it was cheaper. And now, because they didn't have to go to work anymore, they could just work from home. And now that person was faced with the daunting task of having to move back to the same fucking state that her job's in. which is just horrible could you imagine the humanity
Starting point is 00:17:29 the humanity of it Sean you gotta live in the same state where your job is um Elon Musk has put out like a series of tweets basically on I'll bring up Thomas Sowell this right there
Starting point is 00:17:45 there you go a series of tweets basically around similar thought he's been going down a deep dive into Milton Friedman and Thomas Sol and I have gotten nothing but time for all of this.
Starting point is 00:17:57 It's beautiful. Yeah. And if you're listening, it says you'll never understand bureaucracies until you understand that for bureaucrats, procedures, everything, and outcomes are nothing. I mean, that's basically the theme of what he's been
Starting point is 00:18:13 tweeting out. Yeah. So Thomas Sol went to the Chicago School of Economics and was taught by Milton Friedman. And Thomas Sol was a socialist, a star socialist. And even after going to school under Milton Friedman,
Starting point is 00:18:28 he's like, no, I think the guy's still wrong. Socialism is the way to go. I like big government. And then he spent one summer working at the United States Postal Service. And that just flipped him. He was like, fuck this.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Fuck all of this. Fuck everything you guys think and believe. That guy was actually right all along. Yeah, pretty interesting to see where Elon must go. It's going to be an interesting ride. It's going to be an interesting ride to watch the states see what they do here in the next couple of weeks.
Starting point is 00:19:04 AIMCO recruits, or I should, next coming months. AIMCO recruits volunteers. If you didn't know, Stephen Harper taken over some things, he goes, I'm taking on the role of board chair of the Alberta Investment Management Corporation AIMCO and doing so on a pro bono basis because I believe it is a meaningful act of public service to my adopted home province of the last 46 years. I also feel uniquely positioned to help the organization. improve its governance.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Over several decades, Canadian pensions have earned a global reputation thanks to a professional operations, upstanding ethics, and proven risk management. I've accepted the role of board chair because I want to see AIMCO further embody those values and positively contribute to this culture.
Starting point is 00:19:42 I look forward to working with the new board of directors and AIMCO's new management team. Yeah, so Stephen Harper. The guy actually used to run a country a few years ago. I don't know. As a master's degree in economics. probably a good dude to have running this, especially considering the fact that he doesn't even need to be paid
Starting point is 00:20:00 because he gets paid by us. And it's funny. So one of the head guys, the editor from Press Progress, which is just an absolute fucking rag. But he gets really close to the point on this. You see these leftists where they start seeing these things that don't add up that they don't like,
Starting point is 00:20:19 but they don't quite put the dots together. He says, one of the reasons Harper can be the church. share of AMCO pro bono is because he has a defined benefit pension that's indexed to inflation that pays him more than $200,000 a year
Starting point is 00:20:35 and that he's been collecting since 2015. Yes, that is correct. Yes, that is fucking insane. Yes, we should stop doing things like that. Welcome to the party, Duncan Kinney. A capital
Starting point is 00:20:56 offense. Here, where? This is the Wall Street. Yeah, I'm looking for it right here. Yep, there it is. Bingo. There you go. A capital offense.
Starting point is 00:21:08 If Washington, D.C. is our richest area per capita that tells you how important Doge is. This is the Wall Street Mav putting out this tweet, and you can see it here. There you go. America's richest and poorest states versus G7 countries. So you have Washington, D.C., with a median GDP of 259,954. The average person in D.C. makes $260,000 a year.
Starting point is 00:21:41 That's their fucking Ottawa. Other interesting thing to note as a corollary is that in the latest U.S. election, 92.4% of people in D.C. voted Democrat. I'm just going to go out on a limb and say that if the people who decide how the money gets spent make more than twice as much as everybody else in the fucking country, and they vote 93% in favor of one fucking person, the other person is probably the one you want to have win. Also, does anybody else think it's fucked up that in the impeccable elections of the U.S.,
Starting point is 00:22:24 which are never to be questioned, you can literally look at this right now, and it says that from the election on November 6th, they have 99% reporting. They don't even have 100% reporting yet. By the way, in that same study, it showed that Mississippi, what was it? I think it was Mississippi and Louisiana,
Starting point is 00:22:55 or the two poorest states. And falling right in between them is Canada. So Canada would be the second. poorest per capita state in the United States. Calgary caving to common sense. I actually don't, you're the guy closer to this than me. Do you want me to read the Kirk Lubamoff or do you,
Starting point is 00:23:21 what would you like me to pull up on this one too? Well, I mean, there's not really, I guess the point to make here is we can pull up, to Kirk Lubamov. Yeah, sure. And we'll give some background on it. Basically, Jody Gondek, the mayor of Calgary, is saying that people are just asking for cuts all over the place
Starting point is 00:23:41 and they don't realize that there's no there's no cuts to be found. Yes, there's nothing to be found. That if they were going to start making any cuts, that it would start negatively impacting people. Not that they're wasting a whole shit ton of money on all kinds of dumb shit. Like the Calgary, the municipality of Calgary a few years ago won the, piggy from the CTF. It's the pigies, right?
Starting point is 00:24:10 Or no, it's called something else, but it's a pig. But they won that one. Isn't it the golden piggys? Shoot. Chris Sims is going Yes. Chris Samms is getting yelled at us. Okay. Anyway, they won it for spending something like $40,000 on LED lighting for
Starting point is 00:24:26 a fucking sewage treatment plant on the edge of town. You've got the giant blue ring, which was $450,000. They got literally Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman It's a gorney weaver To design the Bond girl From Octopussy
Starting point is 00:24:41 To design a statue in the southeast There's the Nenshi Towers Which look like random crumbling Bits of some fucking old building That's supposed to be about truth and reconciliation They just spend a shit ton of money On like this whole water theme And getting a statue that looks like Spider-Man Spooge
Starting point is 00:25:04 And so anyway she's saying well there's no money to be found look at the EVs they're running EV EV Mustangs in their carpool but they don't want to get bad press about it so they debadge them how about you just stop debadging them you could save money there but anyway she's saying there's no money to save and then kirk gloombov jumps in and he says I'll take your challenge I'll find your savings efficiencies and show you the math here's my offer I'll do it for free up to the first 10 million in savings after that I want 50% of the savings is compensation with 25% going to a charity of my choice.
Starting point is 00:25:37 If I find $100 million in savings, you resign. If I find $250 million in savings, you pay back your salary with 50% of it going to a charity of your choice. You've literally got a pretty smart fucking guy saying, I will do this. Like, oh, yeah, show us your math. I'll do it. I'll do it. It's kind of like, it's kind of like, it's kind of like two saying,
Starting point is 00:26:01 I could be the you want me to come in and do doge I do it I'm okay yeah see Kirk would actually be better than me though because I would just be like like I would just fire everybody I know and I wouldn't care be like fuck you get out afwara a foera a fwara a fwara whereas I feel like Kirk who's a fairly smart and nuanced guy would actually look at it be like okay does some of this make sense can you make a decent argument here like what about crazy idea if we're going to spend tens of thousands of dollars repainting an old bridge and then check to make sure it doesn't need to be
Starting point is 00:26:38 torn down a month later. What if we did those in the opposite order? What if we just checked to make sure that the bridge didn't need to be torn down before we spent tens of thousands of dollars repainted? What you're pointing out is that Jody Gondack is ridiculous. I think every Calgaryan knows that. I think pretty much every Albertan at this point knows that. And the fact She says there's nowhere to save money is, you know, like, that's, that's, it kind of reminds me of when Daniel Smith was on the show. And she's like, 80% where do you want me to find any cut, uh, cuts on the government? And you're like, you can't find anywhere.
Starting point is 00:27:13 You can't find one. That's, that's odd to me. I think that's odd. But, uh, maybe I'm wrong. And I think what you're pointing out on the, uh, city level of Calgary. That's about the most ridiculous thing for a mayor to say after you've just rambled on about all the things. things we've talked about in the last year. Does anybody think it was weird that with the giant division of Calgary,
Starting point is 00:27:37 which is the water services, the people go around fixing all the water and stuff, they third part, they third partied out the entire reconstruction of that giant water main coming out of bears paw. There wasn't a single city employee working on that. So is it a cost inefficiency because they had to third party it? or is it be that the people whose job it is were not going to be capable of doing it in a timely and efficient manner and they had to third party it.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Pick which way you want to cut it, but the point is, is that they've got a bunch of people that aren't able to do the job. Are you going to read it? No, I don't read these headlines. You read these headlines. The year is 2025. We huddled together and ruined his landscape of what was once Canada. The figure dead, the birds are extinct.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Hope has been extinguished. And yet the postal strike can do. this headline is so long folks i actually thought it was someone's comment that so i'm waiting for two to read the comment nope nope it's a story on the the postal strike here at canada here's two different articles okay um uh one says cbc as canada post labor disputes approach in its second week canadian foreign nationals are saying the mail stoppage and disrupting their lives is alarming in alarming ways chinese national wengi zu said it might cost him his job.
Starting point is 00:29:10 He landed in Toronto three weeks ago to renew his U.S. work visa. He told CBC News he's been stuck in the city ever since, waiting for his passport to be returned to him through the Canada Post. And then it was the National Post saying, has anyone noticed this post? Yeah, here's the literal headline from Canada Post or from National Post. Canada Post went on strike and no one cared. You literally have, you've got, oh,
Starting point is 00:29:38 the government employees are going to bat for the other government employees. That's so weird. With the Chinese National, who's gay? You could not. I'm like, that is a CBC right there. In a nutshell. Here's the other thing I want to point out is that you have this going on at the same time. This is Harley Finkelstein, not Von Finkelstein.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Not Von Finkelstein. Not to be confused. Harley Finkelstein. This is the president of Shopify. If there was ever a time for the government to take action, it's now. Canada Post going on strike two weeks before Black Friday devastates small businesses. As the leading Canadian carrier, this has massive consequences. Small businesses will unfairly bear the brunt.
Starting point is 00:30:29 If small businesses are the backbone of our economy, the Canadian government needs to show them they have one and force this to end now. He doesn't call on the union to say stop being fucking. idiots. He says, the Canadian government needs to end this strike. Okay. Now, as president of Shopify, the majority of his clients use Canada Post, Canada Post, whose market share has dipped from 62% to 29% in the last two or three years. And he's talking about how important it is that they get back to work. Because this is affecting his bottom line. Because we've, basically subsidize the cost of shipping as taxpayers.
Starting point is 00:31:17 We give Canada Post far more fucking money than it deserves. We cover their fucking defined benefit pensions. And because of that, they're able to charge more than what they should, but less than what they need. And if they actually charged what they need, Shopify would take a huge brunt because fewer people would be able to ship effectively, which is the, the, gist of their entire business. It's basically like a Canadian Etsy, right?
Starting point is 00:31:47 And so this is a guy going to bat, not for, because he believes in it, not because he thinks it's a good argument, but because this is affecting his bottom line. And it should, it needs to be treated as such. This one's going to be good. I think you're going to like this one, Sean.
Starting point is 00:32:08 This one, this one's awesome. Jaguar gets defanged. Can I just, can I, I don't even need to play the sound. on this. Like, I mean, this is a Jaguar commercial. With no cars in it. A whole bunch of fucking fifth element transgender weirdos. It's like if David Lynch had directed
Starting point is 00:32:31 the fifth element and these are the people in it. And like a dogs die in hot cars music video but with what do you call them? Those people with the white hair. that's you know no pigment that's about a strange a commercial it's just weird as all hell and then they got absolutely eviscerated
Starting point is 00:32:55 eviscerated yeah that's one I really like because it's from the IT crowd which has long been one of my favorite TV shows so their old thing is copy nothing and literally the first person to walk out of this weird elevator
Starting point is 00:33:10 has the moss haircut yeah uh copy nothing except for that obviously. I'm glad. Anyway, like I just,
Starting point is 00:33:19 it's, it's really interesting. Like this is, you know, you wonder they're, they're going to be unveiling a new car soon. Yes. And you're like,
Starting point is 00:33:26 okay, well, how many Bud Light beer holders? Have they not? Have they not learned from Bud Light? Have they not learned for Victoria's secret? Right. So,
Starting point is 00:33:34 so this new Jaguar, how many, how many, uh, cup holders can you fit like full of Bud Lights in there? You know, I can safely tell you, it's all this weird trans stuff.
Starting point is 00:33:43 I bet you, I bet you this new Jaguar, is a stick shift and still has a middle seat. I will not be buying a Jaguar. Yeah, me neither. No, yeah, this is, you know what? I'm so mad about this that I'm going to boycott Jaguar. I need about two-fitty.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Prime Minister Justin Trinot announced Thursday, a suite of new measures meant to alleviate some of the affordability pressures people have been experiencing in the post-COVID era, including a two-month GST holiday on some goods and services. The liberal government will also send $250 checks to the 18.7 million people in Canada who worked in 2023 and earned $150,000 or less. Those checks, which the government is calling the working Canadians rebate, will arrive sometime in early spring 2025. You might also call them the working Canadians bribe, but, you know, that's just using language. How bad is this fucking country that they need to send out rebates to everybody making less than $150,000 a year?
Starting point is 00:34:55 Like, just imagine you go back to 2015. And while the campaign, the election is ramping up, you be like, look, look, I get the fact that some of you guys want to buy marijuana legally. But if you vote for this fuck, nine years down the road in less than a decade, the economy is going to be. so bad that the government is going to be giving rebate checks to people making less than $150,000 a year. Like, they'd be like you're fucking insane. Oh, what? And Jaguar's going to put out a bunch of gay trans commercials? Like, they'd just think you were crazy.
Starting point is 00:35:34 The funny thing about this is that this is literally a conservative party platform. Canada's conservatives have a plan to help Canadian families and small businesses. We will implement a month-long GST. holiday this December. That's Aaron O'Toole. And he fucking sucked. This is how bad things are going for the liberals that they're trying to steal election ideas from Aaron O'Toole.
Starting point is 00:36:04 And wait, Jack, where's going to have? Let's end the show on that. Oh, what a great way to. Happy Friday, folks. Mash up 134. Tunes is on a roll. Even better.
Starting point is 00:36:19 This makes me a rand. Uh, multiple scandals, man, this story, I don't know if I wanted to end. I just don't know if I wanted to end. I don't either. And so I was talking about this. We just need to preface this. You might think you're watching last week's episode, especially when I point out the fact that we only talk about things that happened this week on this show. Correct.
Starting point is 00:36:41 And this is just this week's updates on the other Randy's story. Now, we said that last week. And we're saying it again this week because this is the, newest new stuff. Wait a second. Is this Groundhog Day? No. This is just the everlasting story of Randy Bousno. As it could continue to unfold. Or maybe cocaine
Starting point is 00:37:01 Randy. We're not sure which Randy we're talking about this week. As multiple scandals swirl around and battle employment minister, cocaine Randy Bousselmau. Wait a second. That's the other Randy, I think. The Eminton centered MP has decided to resign from cabinet. A statement issued Wednesday afternoon by Prime Minister's office
Starting point is 00:37:16 confirmed both Boseno and the PM agreed he would step aside to focus on clearing allegations made against them. The allegations that he claimed to be of indigenous descent, despite the fact that he said he never said that. Well, I mean, that's kind of an interesting outfit to wear for somebody who claims he never said that. And then, oh, shoot, spoiler alert, that's the happy news. There's Jamie Pateast. He gets into a whole bunch of stuff.
Starting point is 00:37:49 But here's here's Garnet John Wee wearing a lapel thing that says fire, which is goddamn hilarious. And I just want to point out this, oh shoot, I don't think I have the video. Can you please pull up the cocaine Randy video? Are we not going to show that? Where is it? Where the hell is that video? You got to show it.
Starting point is 00:38:15 While you're looking for it, here's Chris Sim saying, And as a backbencher MP for Eminton Center, he will continue to be paid $203,000. So as he steps aside, he's still going to get a boatload of money. I can't believe Tews doesn't have this pulled up because the cocaine, Randy, comment was. I'm the Minister of Tourism and Associate Minister of Finance, but I'm also known as strong Eagleman in the Creek community. And I'm... But he's never, he's never made allegations that he's indigenous. and he needs to clear his name.
Starting point is 00:38:50 He needs to clear his name because he's never made these claims. And he needs to clear his name, folks. That's why he resigned from the cabinet because he needs to clear his name from these false accusations. Like, Randy, don't disappear on us. Please keep saying absurd things
Starting point is 00:39:11 so me and twos can have some humor every week. This is the, you know. I want to vote for him next election just so this train can keep rolling. and let's see how far down the tracks it goes. Like this just, it just keeps coming and coming and coming. This is, here's the thing. The liberals who love to grandstand about how much they care about truth and reconciliation.
Starting point is 00:39:38 And then they ignore it for three years and ten months. And in the 60 days leading up to an election, they suddenly start caring again. Well, they need to decide whether they give a shit about truth and reconciliation or not. Because there's not a lot of truth going on right now. There's not a fuck ton of reconciliation either. I don't know. I could probably talk about the other Randy for the full hour. And the RC&P are opening an investigation into him and his business.
Starting point is 00:40:11 The outstanding court costs have now gone up to $8 million. And also there's a second cocaine bust associated with him because he shared a mailbox with somebody who got busted for like 200 and some kilos of cocaine. although he claims to have never met this person. Have you ever shared a mailbox with somebody you've never met before, Sean? Because I feel like that's a bit of a stretch. This is all just in the past week. Just in the past week, this is what's happened with Randy.
Starting point is 00:40:44 I don't know. This is so sad, but it's so funny. I assume somebody else out there watching this is laughing at this, right? Like, this is funny, right? Or has Canada just got to such a state that all you can do, his lap because i mean this is absolute absurdity he keeps saying things you're like do you hear yourself
Starting point is 00:41:04 he doesn't know the internet's forever and kevin fucking beauty comment because now that he's making $203,000 a year Kevin says i feel bad that chief eagle man won't get his $250 from trudo fucking beauty we should pin that okay
Starting point is 00:41:23 yeah we should probably move on I feel like we should probably move on. Bad. But what about the important things that CBC does for us? CBC, one aspect to Trump's second presidency that's gotten less attention as far as what it means for the CBC and the Conservative Party of Canada's repeated promise to defund it. But make no mistake, if the CBC is eliminated, our national sovereignty won't be far beyond. Okay, but what's the downside?
Starting point is 00:41:53 All right. This is Max Fawcett, who I have said on on the record more than once is an absolute fucking putz. I love how at the end of it, he's, see, there's such dishonesty
Starting point is 00:42:11 in Canadian media, believe it or not, which is why people wanted to fund it. And so this guy who used to work for CBC, I think still maybe does some freelance shit for him, says, I understand why conservatives like Pierre Pollyab and his various, The guys like 5'1. Various proxies want to
Starting point is 00:42:28 fund the CBC. If they can marginalize its influence or eliminate it entirely, it clears the field for media outlets like True North, Rebel Media, and other openly and flagrantly partisan organizations to shape our shared beliefs,
Starting point is 00:42:44 which are increasingly being debated and discussed on social media platforms that have no regard for things like accuracy or the truth. If the CBC losing, they win. But if Canadians lose the CBC, we lose the ability to understand and talk to each other. If we lose the CBC, we lose one of the last safe spaces we have to come together and try to understand the vast and disparate land we share. I would like to show you guys a quick clip.
Starting point is 00:43:17 This is from the Fifth Estate update on the conspiracy in Coots. It's going to be real quick. You guys might recognize this clip because it looks like the top half of a very, very famous clip. Ill and organized. The federal government would tell the public what happened at Coots was serious enough to help justify invoking the Emergencies Act for the first. Look at that clip. That's the clip where if they had included the bottom half of the screen, there's a horse walking over an old First Nations lady and her walker.
Starting point is 00:44:01 They literally cut the bottom half of the clip out so that they could show the police horses there without honestly talking about what the fuck happened. And if you go to this, you can see comments are turned off. And they even went so far. I have never seen this in a YouTube video before. the amount of dislikes, if you go to any other thing, I've got that thing, that Chrome extension that allows you to see how many people have disliked the video on YouTube.
Starting point is 00:44:35 And now they came out with a new version of it where you can disable even that. And this is the first video I've ever seen where regardless of how many people like or dislike this video, it's completely disabled by the owner. You can't even see how many people like this video. this is the place one of the few places left where we can have open um we can have open discussions where we can have communication between each other with the comments fucking turned off the
Starting point is 00:45:06 likes likes and dislikes disabled and only the top half of the fucking clip this is the fucking thing in this video just so everybody's aware came out six days ago this is what we need to defend in fucking cbc are you out of your goddamn mind Did you watch this clip? Yes, I did. Yeah. Do you want to, should we show it real quick? Sure, you can show it.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Okay. No, no, you can show it real quick. Oh, my gosh. We're being so hurt. Oh, we're not safe. It's a calling. It's not a job. We had a calling.
Starting point is 00:45:49 I felt this, you know, urge when I was 18 to just be drawn towards this industry and like, my time is my source. Like, spare me, okay? When we're dealing with these new populace, leaders and new politicians that are reducing access for us, like deal with it, figure it out, figure workarounds, how to cover them. Like I've heard enough complaining about, you know, Doug Ford and Pierre, he's challenging you. First of all, if you're going to walk into a press conference with Pierre Polyev, you need to do your homework. When you have a question
Starting point is 00:46:18 and he asks you what your source is and why you're asking the question you are, you know, yes, he's coming at you in a very combative tone, but you should, you know, have something to come back with and you shouldn't walk out of that being like oh my gosh he's this demagogue that's eroding the media and he's trump in a different type of suit like guys spare me like let's have a reality check here and be serious and like meet these challenges head on and stop being so pathetic in the face of all of them anyway that's my pathetic is exactly right who was that guy by the way i should have this pulled up harrison something Harrison Lohman, journalist managing editor,
Starting point is 00:47:00 the Hub Canada, formerly with the agenda and CBC News. Yeah. So interesting to hear, we haven't heard anything like that. We've talked a lot about if the CBC were to have a different mandate and maybe cut out the government funding, it'd be interesting to see what they could maybe turn themselves into. That guy certainly sounds like he's got a little bit of a backbone, maybe? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:25 Like, he's actually, he's the kind of. of journalist, it seems like from here that Chris Sims talks about the newsrooms being filled with back in the day. Back in the day. This is, this is the, this is I don't know, the old guard. This is like a
Starting point is 00:47:41 remnant of a bygone era. Oh, just before get to the, this is in the comments. Pat King's verdict today, so far five guilty plus two for mischief. Brenda Blondry, what did he get if you could expand on that in the comment? What was his news?
Starting point is 00:47:59 Yeah, what was he guilty of? What did they plus two for mischief? Hmm. Yeah, if you could expand on that comment, I would love to know just a smidge more, but there's something people would be probably interested to hear. The NEP are not a serious party. Didn't have to tell me that.
Starting point is 00:48:18 I don't know. Tews, you want to show a video of sing, saying, sing things? Okay. Well, we could skip the sing song if you want. and go to this. Trickle-down economics is a scam. Pass it on.
Starting point is 00:48:34 He's right, but not in the way he thinks he is. So I just want to touch on this real quick. This is a quote from Thomas Sol, and you can find some videos that are like 15 minutes long of him breaking this stuff down impeccably. But trickle-down economics basically started from misquoting something that George Bush said in 1984, 1985.
Starting point is 00:48:56 And everything you ever hear, here about trickle-down economics has come from that one misquote. So Thomas Soul, a proponent of supply-side economics, says that trickle-down economics have never been advocated by any economist writing in his 2012 book, trickle-down theory and tax cuts for the rich, that the trickle-down theory cannot be found in even the most voluminous scholarly studies of economic theories. He actually has a bounty where I can't remember what it is, but I don't know, a thousand or 10,000 or whatever.
Starting point is 00:49:28 The number doesn't matter. The point is, is that he has money set aside for anybody who can show him any economist, any serious economist who says anything about trickle-down economics. And so whenever socialists talk about how trickle-down economics has failed or how it's bad, why don't you ask them, ask to point out where it actually exists, where it's real, where anybody with any actual pedigree in any of this shit talks about it. Because it's just fucking unicorn farts. It's fucking green energy.
Starting point is 00:50:08 Speaking of which. Green Swamp Fund Update. Calgary Conservative MP Stephanie Coosie is accusing federal environmental environment minister Stephen Gabo of corruption related to the so-called green slush fund on Friday. She said, Gabo invested $254 million into a company. owns. Nah, the liberal government would never do that, twos.
Starting point is 00:50:31 No, no. Randy. That's, that's, that's the other gie ball. This government is failing to comply with parliament. This guy who's literally a convicted felon? No way. Last week, the auditor general, Karen Hogan, struck down a House of Commons committee a request for another audit of the green slush fund, saying it likely wouldn't reveal
Starting point is 00:50:51 anything new. I doubt that. I highly doubt that. $254 million into a company he owns. yeah and so korena gold's been trying to get out in front of this uh she's done some um she actually went in front of cbc and cbc to their credit um she's like oh well we've submitted tens of thousands of documents and the conservatives are just being mean and he's like yeah but they're all heavily redacted you need to show them the unredacted documents and well they're just holding things up
Starting point is 00:51:21 they're like yeah because they want the unredacted documents and it goes back and forth with Well, they're just playing politics. And the guys like, they want the unredacted documents and the people want the unredacted documents. And you guys aren't providing the unredacted documents. So regardless of how many pages you hand over, if everything's,
Starting point is 00:51:45 if everything's more blacked out than Justin Trudeau's face, it doesn't fucking matter. Right? That's what's going on with that. And that, by the way, is why Parliament has been held up indefinitely. is because of the Green Slush Fund. Tobacle.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Yeah. Saga. Yep. Goofy news. All right. This is becoming one of my favorite parts of this show lately. Here we go. Okay.
Starting point is 00:52:09 And admitted a human smuggler was court ordered to surrender his passport only for passport candidate to issue him a new one. Yeah. You heard that right. Okay. And then when when Kevin Vuong, who's a member of independent member of parliament in Toronto, tweeted about this.
Starting point is 00:52:27 Somebody from Passport Canada's Twitter account went and untagged themselves from the post. Charlotte Hornet Star Lamello Ball find 100,000 for offensive and derogatory phrase. He said, yeah, we loaded up, no homo. That got him in hot water. He got to find $100,000 for saying no homo. The Collingwood Ontario Christmas tree. I want to show, we don't need the sound for this, but you can hear him counting it down. watch, watch the Christmas tree light up.
Starting point is 00:53:06 That is the shittiest Christaposit. That is the shittiest Christmas tree I have ever, ever seen. It's literally just a bad net of lights. And that's it. No, no star, no angel. No nothing. You know, I mean, there's none of the stuff that Sean would even like to see, like giant balls.
Starting point is 00:53:29 It's just, that's it. Oh, man. Okay. Well, there you go. Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau suggests that if you oppose his carbon tax, you're a victim of right-wing disinformation. Logan Paul trolls BBC, sending a lookalike to be interviewed about crypto-scam allegations. Sannie Holston was forced to read out loud a legal statement after slandering Matt Gates. Like three minutes later.
Starting point is 00:53:59 Silver Side AI just created an ad for Coca-Cola. it was you think about like all those AI things where people have extra thumbs poking out and weird stuff with their hands and ears and whatnot that's the new Coca-Cola ad there's at one point
Starting point is 00:54:16 there's a truck driving by with no cab on it there's these two squirrels that keep switching ears stuff like that there's the truck with no cab now just got a front wheel Coca-Cola. Oh, boy. Oh, boy, oh, boy. All right.
Starting point is 00:54:38 We have a man who was reported missing died in a tanning bed at Planet Fitness in Indianapolis had been dead in there for three days and the gym still operated daily. How crispy you think he was by the end of that, eh? Oh. I think you skip past the fact check on RF. K. Jr.? Oh, where are you at? Hey, that's okay. I got it right here.
Starting point is 00:55:06 Spitting out. Here's a fact check. Mr. Kennedy is singled out fruit loops, sorry, front loops. Fruit loops and is an example of a product with too many artificial ingredients, questioning why the Canadian version has fewer than the U.S. version, but he was wrong. The ingredient list is roughly the same, although Canada's has natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots, while the U.S. product contains red dye 40, yellow 5, and blue. as well as well as
Starting point is 00:55:32 butylated hydroxutuline or BHT, a lab-made chemical that is used for freshness according to the ingredient label. So he's wrong and he's totally wrong and here's the exact details of why he's actually kind of right.
Starting point is 00:55:51 These fact checkers are wonderful. I love how obsolete they've become with community notes. although they are hilarious. Yeah. I got to pull it up because you got to understand. That was in New York Times, right? New York Times wrote that.
Starting point is 00:56:13 They fact-checked him and fact-checked themselves in the process. You think, like, where's the editor who read that? It was like, well, actually we kind of, he was right. Maybe we just don't write. Maybe we just don't publish this. Amy, but it's crazy. Or even the person writing it, as they were writing it, didn't they stop to think to themselves?
Starting point is 00:56:36 Actually, I'm not making the argument I think I am. I wonder if, I wonder if maybe I should just shut up down. It's roughly the same. Oh, man. If you build backyard rinks and mark them, they will come to Malship. Man who built a beautiful backyard rink. Basically, people are upset. They're going to come tear it down.
Starting point is 00:56:55 They want them to tear it down because they want the green space back to. it's his fucking yard I know and then that plane grounded for four days when 132 hamters escaped on boards it's not snakes on a plane get the snakes on the plane we'll get the hands that's what I was going to say
Starting point is 00:57:12 like you want to solve all these hamsters on the plane you get Samuel L Jackson that problem takes care of itself real with these hamsters I've had it with these motherfucking hamsters on this motherfucking plane there's your goofy news from around the
Starting point is 00:57:30 the CPP. EVs and the CPP. Ford is to cut 800 jobs in Britain and 4,000 rolls across Europe over the next three years as part of a plan to cut production of electric car sales as a stall and competition from China steps up. Ford's
Starting point is 00:57:46 European sales were down 17.9% up to September. Far outst tripping and industry-wide decline of 6.1%. It joins Nissan, Volkswagen, Stalantis, and general owners in announcing major cost cutting plans. This on top of whirl back in time to September 2023 when the federal and
Starting point is 00:58:04 Quebec governments announced that they'd be partnering with a Swedish battery maker North Bolt to plunge headlong into a bright green future. Canada and Quebec would be laying out a $2.7 billion capital investment. On Saturday as financing talks continued, the financial times broke that North Bolt
Starting point is 00:58:20 is considering filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States and that one major investor has already written the value of the company down to zero. And you also So Canada Pension Plan is invested in that company. And the final thing I was going to say here, several Canadian pension funds have sizable financial exposure
Starting point is 00:58:37 in the event of a bankruptcy filing by North Volt. So, yeah. So this whole hands off of our pension. We don't want Daniel Smith to be in charge of our pensions because then she'll put them towards her pet projects that she cares about. And we can't have her doing that. So instead, we need to leave our pension in the trusting hands of the federal government.
Starting point is 00:58:59 There's a new cartel in town. D.C. sit down, wherever you're listening to this. You're going to get a break for a week, okay? Make way for the PC. Make way for the potato cartel. The heat has been turned up on two Canadian frozen potato giants who have been named in separate price-fixing lawsuits south of the border. McCain Foods and Cavendish Farms are among those accused of being a part of a potato cartel,
Starting point is 00:59:34 conspiring with other large processors by sharing pricing data in an effort to raise the price of frozen potatoes in the U.S. The consumer case brought by plaintiff Alexander Gowice, who is identified as a buyer of retail frozen potato products, alleges the major processing companies have a direct line of communication to each other
Starting point is 00:59:52 and regularly share pricing data and other sensitive information. Quoted, the potato cartel moves prices skyward and locked up harming all purchasers of potatoes in the process the court filing states. Oh, wow, they keep this up.
Starting point is 01:00:09 We're going to have a great potato famine all over again. This is awesome. This is why you need open business. See, when people, this whole trickle down economics theory, as people say, well, if you give tax breaks to businesses, then the big businesses are just going to keep the profits. But the whole argument is if you give tax breaks to businesses, it removes the hurdles that stop new entrants from emerging, which makes things more competitive. It's not, oh, well, if we give Walmart a tax break,
Starting point is 01:00:40 they're going to pass down the savings to the people working at the checkout till. It's if we remove, if we get rid of the taxes in this industry, then new people are going to be able to open up new stores, hire more people, and have more options for consumers, which is going to drive down the prices in the industry. And so, yeah, I know that people with cartels of, you know, whatever it is, you know, potatoes or anything else. and anything else.
Starting point is 01:01:09 Derry, for example, don't like hearing it, but cartels are actually really bad for the consumer. Oh, and also McCain, that Bill Mourneau, the former Liberal Minister of Finance, he married one of the McCain's, so everything's as incestuous as you would expect in liberal Laurentian bullshit Canada. Freedom and Parliament. After two years of Pierre Poliov as their leave,
Starting point is 01:01:40 many conservative MPs say they are much less free now than they were before his arrival. Man who promised during his leadership to run to make Canada the freest country in the world maintains tight control over the actions of his caucus members. Since Pierre became leader, you can feel the difference that of source in the conservative leader's entourage. MPs don't get too comfortable. They're careful. Okay. They're right, but they're totally fucking wrong. They've got this detail correct, but they're completely.
Starting point is 01:02:10 grasping the implications of it and how it fits into the sphere of things. So yeah, absolutely. The conservatives aren't allowed to say and do what they want. There's a party whip. Blake Richards, whose job during the last election was to make sure that every single of the 338 people who ran for the conservative party in Canada supported a carbon tax. That's still on the internet. Aaron O'Toole's carbon tax, you can still find articles on it.
Starting point is 01:02:40 All right, it's still there. It didn't go away. Pierre Poliev, he was pretty quiet during the last election. Because obviously he didn't support it, but he didn't go against it because he wasn't allowed to speak his fucking mind. Because O'Toole specifically said that anybody who doesn't support the carbon tax is getting the fuck out of the party. And so every single Western Canadian member of parliament right now ran on a fucking carbon
Starting point is 01:03:07 tax. And so, yeah, they aren't allowed to say what they think. they aren't allowed to say what they believe. You've had how many issues with the NDP and the Green Party blowing up over who's allowed to say what about Israel over the past couple years? And also, how many times have you seen an article talking about Justin Trudeau's wavering popularity and the people who want to see them out of the party? But they won't speak openly for fear of recrimination. It always says that in the article. It's either experts say some random fucking.
Starting point is 01:03:42 thing or this person spoke to us on a condition of anonymity because they fear reprisals for their career. You hear that all the time in the liberal circles. Do you honestly think that every single fucking liberal member of parliament is going to stand unequivocally behind strong eagle Randy? Fuck no. It's that they're not allowed to say anything. Do you think they think fuck sticks Trudeau with his fucking going down to Brazil and saying
Starting point is 01:04:09 that the carbon tax is more important than groceries and rams? Do you think there isn't a single one of them who's like, hey, wait a sec? Like, I get the fact that we're idiots, but are we that fucking dumb? No, no. They go along with what they have to say. And so, yes, is this article saying that the conservatives aren't allowed to speak their mind true? Abs of fucking looting. But you need to take into account that it's true for every single fucking party in this country.
Starting point is 01:04:36 Strong Eagle Randy. That's what I took out of that entire rant. I liked how you put that in there. the flip side of job growth. Alberta continues to set the pace for job creation in Canada, solidifying its position as a country's economic engine. The province led the way in job growth between September and October, here in this year, 2024, accounting for over 91% of the country's net job growth,
Starting point is 01:04:56 according to the latest labor force data. Canada's most populous province, Ontario, lost 10,900 jobs in comparison. While Ontario's employment fell, its population also rose by 39,000 people over the same. period. The entire country saw its working age population rise by 85,000 people. Therefore, while the country saw an increase of 14,000 jobs, it saw 70,700 more people working age individuals enter the job market. That's a population grew at 587%. Yeah, so we're bringing in all these people to support our economy, but there's nowhere for them to work is basically what that last little bit says, but the start of it.
Starting point is 01:05:45 90% of all new jobs are in Alberta. Okay. So you have that article coming out. While at the same time, you have CTV complaining about the fact that the minimum wage has not moved since 2018 in Alberta. Put two and two together here. The country with the most stagnant minimum wage laws, we were talking about this a few weeks ago. and it just keeps rearing its ugly head. Like, oh, the minimum wage doesn't move in Alberta,
Starting point is 01:06:19 but all the jobs are being created in Alberta? Pick one. Do you want a high minimum wage that nobody gets because nobody has a fucking job? Or do you want a low minimum wage where people can get in, build up skills, and move up the pay ladder from there? None of these, these guys are just this close to putting things together. These articles are four days apart, Sean. and nobody can just, you know, A to B, it's just, it's almost there.
Starting point is 01:06:49 They're just so close to realizing how fucking stupid they are, but they can't quite make the jump. Scurvy Sea Dogs of Lack La Range. While the last, within the last six months, doctors in LaRange have treated 27 cases of scurvy, bringing to light the severe impact of food insecurity in the province's north. Despite Scurvy's rarity in modern medicine, the Lorange diagnosis is aligned with findings from a recent First Nations food nutrition. Nutrition and Environment Survey, which revealed 42% of respondents couldn't afford balanced meals. A 22 Saskatchewan Health Authority report noted the average weekly cost of nutritious foods for a family of four was $291 rising to 358 in the north and 4164 in the far north. Yeah, so I assume that they mean LaRange is the far north because it's basically where the road stop. like the only thing above that is uranium city and you got to fly in right and so it's just
Starting point is 01:07:49 it's crazy though like we've got an outbreak of scurvy in Canada food has become so fucking expensive that people are getting fucking scurvy I don't know that that you probably go on a shirt well basically I mean it's either that or my buddy Patrick caught scurvy and he's been passing it around LaRange as an STD, but it's basically one of the two things. Scary weather name of the week. Area of low pressure is rapidly deepening of the Pacific coast, this time spinning around the first bomb cyclone two's bomb cyclone. Yes.
Starting point is 01:08:38 So a bomb cyclone, new thing, right? Like where do they keep coming up with this, right? It's crazy. Just whatever crazy new name they can come up with. to call these new weather patterns, right? Wrong. The term was introduced in a paper called Synoptic Dynamic Climatology of the Bomb,
Starting point is 01:09:00 published in monthly weather review in October 1980. So it's a bait and switch. They had this sitting right in front of them the whole time. They could have been calling things instead of an atmospheric river and a climate razor's edge and all the crazy wrestling names. They had climate bomb the whole. whole time. This thing is older than you or me. Climate bomb. It's actually got it's it's it's, it's, um, actually
Starting point is 01:09:29 there's a formula for deciding when things are and are not a climate bomb. You need 24 sign of five divided by sign 60 megabar reduction and pressure throughout 24 hours where, where five is the latitude of the storm and that adjustment accounts for the, um, changing out or in in in latitude because, uh, the changes in latitude affect the storm differently. This is all laid out. They could have been doing this the whole fucking time. They can't do math, too. No, no.
Starting point is 01:10:00 And you know what? I'm pretty sure none of them even realize that this has been around since 1980. They're just like, oh, a sexy new name? Let's go for it. Fuck, am I the only person who reads? UK, more like UK. Well, I don't know. I'm just going to pull up this headline.
Starting point is 01:10:17 There you go. The observer, farmers have hoarded land for, too long inheritance tax will bring new life to rural Britain. That was Will Hutton. Yes. And then this has gotten so bad that you've got Jeremy what's his face. Jeremy Clarkson is showing up doing speeches at these rallies, talking to BBC, calling them out on their shit. And this is the best one I saw, though.
Starting point is 01:10:47 We're not going to play the whole clip, although these clips of Jeremy Clarkson are, fucking awesome. But here's, here it is. What is your message to this government? Please back down and get the money from where. See, that's the whole argument that BBC is trying to put forth is,
Starting point is 01:11:05 is that where are they going to fund health care if they can't take all of this money from the farmers? And in it, he's saying, well, this is going to affect like 96% of the farmers. And she says, well, where did you get this number from? And he said,
Starting point is 01:11:20 who here is not going to be a, affected by this and nobody puts up their hands. He's like, there you go. And so anyway, and get the money from where she says. He says, see that building over there? If you don't understand what somebody's job is, fire them. This is Doge, England now. Doge is spreading everywhere.
Starting point is 01:11:39 Afwera. Afwera. Happy news. Well, too, Zoe already spoiled it. Here's Miss America. There you go. Damn. There you go. All right.
Starting point is 01:11:57 Miss America, we have a woman. Yeah. And this, this I want to point out was, see, this is the thing. There's no, there's no crazy surprises. If you look at the swimsuit photo, there's no weird bulge. She doesn't, she doesn't have a middle tooth. Like the one we talked about last year. It's just crazy. Nature is healing.
Starting point is 01:12:23 Ever since Trump got reelected, now we go back to Miss America pageants, having actual fucking women in them. And this is a tweet from Elon Musk, breaking internet stunned after an attractive biological female human of healthy weight wins Miss Universe pageant. Nature is really, folks. It's sad to, I mean,
