I'm going to come about as close as I can to breaking our one rule. We have one rule on this show, and I don't even like saying what the rule is because it's that close to breaking the rule. It's like fight club. But I will say this, if you show up to testify for parliament and you spend the entire time sounding like a ditsy valley girl saying nothing specific, but trying to say things that incite, people and make you make them mad at you you're just doing it for hate clicks you're just doing it so that you can go on to twitter afterwards and rage farm a bunch of people mad at you so that you who is that one person twos who is that one person she who will not be named she who will not be named the valdemort of the mashup okay so she's just doing it so that she

can come out with a video in a couple days talking about how mean and misogynist and evil and disrespectful people are of her because she's a woman when in fact it's because a a idiot and b she's a fucking ginger okay and so you guys can have her we'll have chris sims uh mashup 137 i was like what rule do we have and then you started talking like oh is he going to say her name He isn't going to say her name. He's going to say Voldemort. We should give her a name. We should give her a fun name.

Like Baltimore? No, but I mean, you know, it doesn't actually... Ginger Mort? Sure, I don't know. We can do some work on it. Some people can do some day. Or maybe we just don't talk about her. Yeah.

She who will not be named, but I think that's kind of fun. Anyways. Mashup 137. I got to give a shout out first to here. Here. There. Tuesday's got his hat. This is Arc Engineering Corporation.

So shout out to all the boys there. I stopped in on my way home from Calgary and, that is a sharp hat. There was a, no worries, Kyle gave me two because he goes, Tuesday's her feelings will be hurt. So he was thinking of you.

So the next time, feelings would have been hurt, yeah. Next time you're through. Yeah, shout out to the Ark Boys. There was a group of them there and they gave me a, they gave me a sandwich to roll out with.

I was just after lunch toze. And they gave me like a smoke. sandwich that they'd made on the smokers downstairs. And I was like, this is delicious. That's awesome. Shout out to the boys at Arc and all the hospitality. Appreciate it. Thanks for the hat that I haven't quite got yet.

That's right. Ginger should be isolated like lepers. Oh, boy, we're starting like 37 off. Isolated like gingers. They're all right. Kevin coming in there. Good morning from Pinocca County. That's Bonnie Melke.

Murray Henderson. Hi, everyone. Make sure, folks, wherever you're watching, I always point to X. If you're watching on X, make sure to give it a retweet. If you're on Facebook, give it a share. Yeah, get a rooster tattoo. Like share, get a rooster tattoo. We've got to break through some of the things that are against independent media.

So we rely heavily on you, fine, folks, to make sure that. This thing spreads by word of mouth. Correct. Just like COVID. You know, we've been talking, the value for value. you thing. Me and Tusa are planning our Festivus. We're doing it live this year. Are we not? Because that way people can actually interact with it and you're not coming to Lloyd.

I assume, correct? No. And I don't think you're coming to my undisclosed location. Am I correct? Correct. Correct. So that means the mashup Festivus, which normally happens between Christmas and New Year's folks, bring a celebratory something and we'll probably be doing that live. I assume we'll be on the 27th. And we've been talking value for value, and we're going to be talking about that again on the Festivus one along with a new theme song, which St. Gadsden was the one who sent Roland Cole. Oh. He's used it for his show and he knows the band. And I listen. I tap my foot to it. I've turned it on. I've tapped my like, this actually might work. I don't know. So we've been talking to new theme song as well. I was like less than 10 seconds in and I'm already like, yes, this is what I want.

Yes. So, happy airborne Friday to Jamie Sinclair and the. boys. Show to all the military men out there. And the Coots 6.5. Okay, well, before that, if you guys have any community events coming up or anything like that, bond spills or whatever, get your details at some point so that we can talk about them at the end of the show. But yes, the Coots 6.5.

Yes. Well, I don't know. Did you put an article in there? Yeah. So I went and I highlighted it because you'd already gone past it. And so I, you know, you know what Tuesday does to me, folks, every morning. So we're starting the show. Here's my little tidbit.

We're starting the show. We've got 30 seconds. He walks away. I'm like, okay. He's going to hurry up? No, he's not going to hurry up. He's going to walk away. You're going to do this slow.

You did not. You walked so slow. It wasn't a saunter. It was a saunter. It was beyond the saunter. Now he's like, oh, we got nervous on the 6.5. I'm like, where was that two hours ago? Anyways, bring us up to speed twos on the Coots 6.5.

Hamilton Doctor has license revoked for sexually abuse. using patience. So he isn't, that isn't funny. That isn't funny. Okay. Well, the, the quote unquote funny thing is is that, uh,

he had an employee who went in for a checkup and touched all over the front stuff. And then he was outside having to smoke afterwards as all doctors do. And then when she left, he was saying a bunch of sexually inappropriate things to her. So she's like, uh, I quit and complained. And then he,

had two years probation as a result of this for sexually assaulting a woman. Yes. But, you know, we're so short doctors that we have to give them free passes in this country. So if you're a sexual predator, I would recommend getting into the medical profession because he then was told he had he couldn't do unsupervised examinations. There always had to be somebody else in the room too, which I don't know. Like, I feel like if I had a doctor who I went to go get a checkup and I'm like, well, who's this other person?

They're like, well, they're here to make sure I don't molest you. I'm like, what? And he'd be like, yeah, it's been an issue in the past. I'd be like, you know what? I'm good. I'm good. And so anyway, he did 110 of these without any supervision before he molested somebody else. And then now he just has his license revoked.

I should point out the reason I'm laughing is I'm like this is just the state of Canada now. I don't know what better to do than to just laugh about it and how bad it's getting or how bad it is or all the above. I don't know. Let's move on. All right. Well, here we got welcome from Laxane Ann, but our first or our next one is this. In polls are garbage. And I'm trying to pull it up here. Give me one moment. There it is. Okay. The decline of love for our nation is depressing.

What you're seeing on the screen, folks, is it shows basically 1991 to 2016 to 2024. You know, the poll is which is the following statements best describes how you feel about Canada. And so the, you know, it's showing the 65% at 1991. I have a deep emotional attachment to Canada out of the country. what it stands for and it's down to 49% now. Yeah. And there's another one that says percentage saying they are quote, very proud to be Canadian.

And it starts in 1985, which is disappointing because I feel like if it started in the 70s, you would have seen a nice little dip through the first Trudeau's reign. But in 1985, it's 78. And then a little bit of a decline in 2003, 2016 was 52%. And now in 2024,

only 34% are very proud to be Canadian. And I'm guessing they're all in Eastern Canada. Sure. Sure. Branda says not enough energy drinks, too. I know. I'm drinking the OG energy drink and I don't like it. I haven't had water in like seven years. Yeah, your body doesn't know what to do with it. Yeah.

Like, what the hell is this? What? I'm so confused. Why isn't it carbonated? We've got great tracks of land. Official residences in other countries, $38 million worth, properties in Afghanistan abandoned to the Taliban, 41 million, vacant land in Senegal, 12.5 million. Chancery and Ukraine, 10.2 million. Those are some of the holdings in Global Affairs Canada, the real estate portfolio, which has cost taxpayers, $186 million in the past 10 years alone.

All told, Global Affairs owns more than four-run properties and more than 70 countries, according to an access of information obtained by one of our favorites, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. And this is coming on the heels of Global Affairs Canada is embroiled over the controversy after purchased the $9 million luxury condo for New York Consul General Tom Clark amid a housing and cost of living crisis. With a copper bathtub. Correct.

All right. I'm just going to throw this out there. Why would we even want, okay, first off, I imagine that land in Afghanistan is pretty cheap. So to have $20 million worth of real estate holdings in Afghanistan, I feel like that would be like a third of the country. So it's not as though it's just like maybe one little compound or something like that. That's probably a substantial chunk of dirt. Why the hell are we interested in holding? It's like nobody wants to invest in countries where there's turmoil like that because there's a decent chance that there's a regime change somebody comes in with AKs and whatever it is that you had for investments in that country are now owned by some random dudes.

Okay. Why are we doing the same thing as a country? This is pretty basic portfolio risk management. It's stupid. And why do we have a $12 million empty lot in Senegal? To me, it smells of ways to funnel money. Tews. That's totally what it smells like. Right? I don't know.

Like, I mean, we can, we can, we can go deeper and deeper into it, but like, to me, when I read it, I'm like, oh man, just the layers of where our money's going, it knows no bounds at this point. It's just being siphoned off into different spots. That's, that's to me what's happening.

Gun ban is a rim shot on rim fires. About $40,000 worth of guns have been removed from a Saskatoon store following the latest federal gun ban. It's a pretty big hit for any gun store, and we're a small store back 40 guns and gear worker, Lance Kelsey told a new, CTV news that is, standing in front of an empty cabinet where nine millimeter, nine millimeter carbine rifle used to be on display. Of course, this is on the heels of last

week's gun, um, gun ban where we had, uh, Rod Giltaka on here to talk about it. Yeah, I thought this was, this was really good. I'm going to put this up here. So, there's been some really good community notes and fact checks and things of that regarding discussions around this stuff. This, for example, is firearms in Canada. I don't know why I'm not following them, but I am now. So Global News has this thumbnail. Will Canada's firearms ban expansion reduce gun violence and crime?

And so he goes, he actually lists off the firearms in the picture. Like banned in 1998, illegal, banned in 98. one that's not banned but looks scary and prohibited prohibited in 1992 so out of the five rifles that you can see in this picture for global news there isn't there's only one of them

that has not been banned in the last century yeah it's a bit ridiculous isn't it yeah you know you get like this we'll put out the picture that's real scary yeah yeah regardless of whether it's factual or not Like, why don't we just, if we're going to try and scare people as much as possible when it comes to this gun ban and we don't care if we're being factually correct or not, let's go way the fuck overboard. Let's have pictures of nukes.

They'd be like, yeah, and the conservatives are against banning these. I just, I want to see them just fully embrace how shitty they are. Let's put a tariff on stupidity. Okay, there's a whole bunch of, this is a lot here. So I'll start by saying Trump, they had their meeting in Mar-a-Lago, and the big thing was him mocking Prime Minister Trudeau, referring to him on social media posts as Governor Justin Trudeau and referring to Canada as one of the U.S. Apologies. And then Ontario Premier Doug Ford has threatened to cut off energy supply to the U.S.

in response to the tariffs, President-elect Donald Trump plans to impose on all Canadian imports. Quoted, we will go to the full extent, depending on how. how far this goes. We will go to the extent of cutting off their energy going down to Michigan, going down to New York State, and over to Wisconsin. And then Daniel Smith getting in the mix. We cannot take concerns about border security lightly, she said. By establishing this new team of sheriffs at the southern border, we are actively working to address security concerns and the stop criminals whose activities are destroying lives on both sides of the border. They've got a new team called the new interdiction patrol team under the Alberta sheriffs and it's plans to crack down

on drug smuggling, gun trafficking and other illegal activities according to the province. They might want to go over to Quebec or BC to have a real effect, but hey, you don't think so? This is good. This is very well done. This is exactly what I've been saying we should do with the water advisories in First Nations communities for years. this is it sure the government is if you look at it on paper the government is in charge of this this is their job okay but they're not doing their job so the money is just wasted and if the federal government isn't going to solve the problems then someone else needs to look at solving the

problems i don't disagree i don't disagree with you twos all i mean is the problem seems to be road. Not. Yes. Middle of nowhere. In that sense? I'm all for the idea. I'm just saying that Alberta doesn't seem to be the problem. Even you go down to the 29,000 people who are listed wanted by immigration authorities for deportation.

The vast majority are where? Ontario. Well, we don't know. True. But they were last listed as 21,000 of those 29 in Ontario. And the next leading spot, Quebec at just over 6,000. So you go, almost all of them are out east. So while I'm not against having what Daniel Smith's doing,

I'm just like the problem doesn't seem to be Alberta. Surprise, surprise. The problem is not one province over another show. The problem is the federal government. They have this very basic job, which is you want to stop people for making fucking fentanyl that turns people into zombies that go dumpster diving and steal shit. okay there's that and then you want to protect the border which is the definition

geographically of what a fucking country is okay and trudeau either can't or won't do either one of those okay so regardless of whether it's under the federal purview or not it's not being done haven't you ever had a job where someone else in the company their job is to do this fucking thing but they suck at it yes i'm agreeing with you what i agree with you it's sloughed on you We realize how shitty federal government is. Let's put 50 people down at the Alberta border. I'm saying the holes are in B.C., Quebec, in Ontario. Okay.

I'm totally with you. Nobody's disdue. And we're going to go, well, Daniel Smith's doing the right thing. Okay. Do we think Ontario or B.C. is going to do anything about it? No. Carry on, twos. Okay.

Thank you. No. You keep rhyming your thoughts down my throat. I'm like, I get to say something bad. here, right? Oh, you're tired of it. Like, I'm tired of listening to you. Like, where's my buzzer? I'm going to start hitting it. Finish your thought. Here's the thing is that this is one of very many opportunities. You've got it in foreign relations right now. You've got it in First Nations water. You've got it in border security. There's, there's a whole bunch that I'm probably not even

thinking of off the top of my head where the federal government should be taking care of something, but they either suck at it or they don't give a shit. and either way, it's not being done. And so the provinces have an opportunity to step up and be like, look, the federal government can spend whatever money they want on this. They're not getting results. So we're just going to take care of it ourselves. And the more we do that, the less power the federal government has.

And so Nenshi's pushing back on this and saying, oh, well, you know what? It's not very collaborative, right? And it doesn't put forth a good message. I think it puts forth exactly the right fucking message, which is if you're not going to do your fucking job, we will. And everybody that's talking about this, all these idiot talking heads in the media

and Doug Ford, who's just an absolute stunned mess of a human being. Like, your brother was a crackhead and he's smarter than you. Okay? This guy is like, oh, well, we're just going to respond by doing counterteriffs. They're like, no, just fucking do your job. if you and I are neighbors and you have chickens.

Was this a problem four years ago? Yes, it was a problem four years ago. They literally had taxes at Rocks and Road. So Donald Trump has had something and we're adjusting to it. That's all I'm pointing to. I don't think it's a bad idea for provinces to get involved in their border. It is their border too. It's probably a reason why they have it as a two kilometer buffer zone

is so that they can actually be a part of it because it's a federal jurisdiction because if I'm learning anything about federal and provincial and blah, blah, blah, it's not like all of a sudden you're going to have sheriffs at the border crossing now, right? Like this is the- It sounds like that's more or less what you're going to have. No, you're going to have, I bet you're going to have them in the buffer zone. You're going to have them wandering around the area behind the DMZ. Yes.

And I just go, if this was such a big issue, which we all think it was, it's taken Donald Trump. Anyways, it doesn't matter. We're beating a dead horsey. Dude. No, you can't. What are you going to do? Talk about it for 20 minutes? Yeah, actually, because here's the thing.

All right. Next one. If you and I are neighbors, you have chickens and I get a bunch of dingoes or bears or fucking velocirap or some fucking shit. Sure. And I don't want to put a fence up. And they keep going over and eating your fucking chickens. And then after four years of it, you say, motherfucker, these chickens that you've been buying for me, they're going to cost 25% more. and then my response is going to be like, well, why is that?

And you'd be like, because these predators keep coming over the border and making things more expensive for me. And I got to pass that on to you at some point. I'm sure somewhere in the comments, there's going to be somebody that twos has got it right this morning. He's so wonderful. I can't wait to see one of those comments, but you're irritating me this morning.

Let's move on. I don't want to hear about bears and dingoes. I need to talk. We need to talk. We've been stuck on this. I said 20 minutes. Listen, here's the other Polly says Sve-on.

All right. This is a woman who's one of the survivors of that shooting that just had its anniversary. And she gets put forth as this expert on gun control despite the fact that she knows absolutely fucking nothing about guns. Well, it's actually two things.

You know that whole adage that you don't want to attribute malice where incompetence can be found? Here's the thing is at the end of the day, it's got to be one of the two. She either is a complete fucking dumb ass or she's being

intentionally dishonest about this stuff. And yet she still gets put in the spotlight. And here's my thing is that you've got this woman who's just been proven verifiably false day after day. And she still gets propped up as an expert. That's dumb. That's irresponsible. And the thing about

it is is from her side? Let's say you're the survivor of a mass shooting. And the liberal government, any government uses the anniversary of that to put forth shitty legislation in an attempt to get us fighting with each other so that they can hopefully see a bump in the polls. Why the fuck would you go along with that? Are you that fucking stupid?

What are we talking about? Where are you taking this right now? this is the this is the gun bans and this is the illegal firearms and all this stuff you know what fine just buzz me just buzz me i already buzzed you twice we did the gun ban okay we did the gun ban and then we switched to tariffs and now you're talking back about something else i'm like what is going on this has to do with the illegal what's going on a mashup on 37 this morning all right so canis says agree twos it has to start somewhere brenda 100% accurate twos chat ha ha ha i'll second that twos? Kevin, twos is right. Now let's move on to the next thing.

All you people, all you people, you people are annoying me this morning. Do not, do not freaking, uh, this is just, just irritated. Should we just buzz myself out and go have a coffee this morning? Let twos talk to you for an hour and a half, uh, because I feel like he likes the sound of his voice this morning. Homeless people are full of Shigella. I don't even know if I got that right. I don't care. Tews, what would you like to talk about. I'll give you the full two minutes. You go. Oh, I'm not ready to talk about this. Oh, you're not ready to talk about it. Weird. Weird. Isn't that interesting this morning, folks? Bacterial outbreak. The highly sought off

twos doesn't know what the hell to say. I was being sarcastic, dude. Fuck me. Highly contagious and drug resistant bacterial illness has sickened several members of Toronto's underhouse community, says the city's health unit. On Wednesday, Toronto public health confirmed CP2 to a CP whatever that it declared an outbreak of chingalosis on December 6th. It travels through feces. Yes. If you eat small parts of feces, like with cat ladies, it's the cat lady thing all over again that Mike Roe was talking about on Joe Rogan a couple weeks ago.

But basically, you just get diarrhea for a week. So you eat a small amount of shit and then you poop out a great amount of shit. and believe it or not, where people don't really have sanitation and plumbing, it's a bit of an issue. But here's the thing that really bugs me about this article is they talk about how people are unhoused and underhoused rather than just saying they're homeless.

They're homeless. Okay? But if we're worried about having a delicate term that just skirts around the issues, while still lightly tracking on what it actually fucking is, rather than talking about the level of housing that these people have, let's talk about the level of fucking crack that these people have. Rather than saying they're under housed,

let's call them overmeth. Yeah. I was going to say it feels like Canada has a case of shingalosis, but GST we've been eating a little bit of crap. GST in the lying media, the liberals promise of a temporary GST breaks, um, or break, sorry,

for consumers as well as a $250 rebate check for some Canadians, and a gesture to ease affordability concerns over the holidays, hasn't benefited Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his minority government when it comes to public support. Nearly, well, that goes on, but that's what it's talking about. This option, this ploy of a GST has caused, you know, a whole bunch of headache, and $250 by the time it comes, you're already through everything. So there's more to it, though, Sean.

There always is. You miss the neat little dangles in here. So if we look at this tweet, conservatives still in majority territory despite liberal affordability measures. Now, if you go to that article, the URL, they didn't update the URL when they updated the headline. They got a bunch of pushback because it was a shitty fucking headline. And it says the same thing. conservative still in majority territory despite liberal affordability measures nanos. The idea being that even though it was still this GST rollout,

you're still looking at a liberal minority, a conservative majority. Here's how things have gone. 338 updated their map. I think they're going to change their mind when they realize it's totally fucking unreadable in a week. But here's roughly when it got rolled out. you had the liberals at 24%.

And now they're at 22%. So in terms of the share of votes they have, that GST rollout caused them to lose 10% of their popular support. Now, that's not the headline.

The headline is, despite GST rollout, conservatives are still winning. None. This has been an epic fucking failure and one in 10 of the idiots still on the liberal bus decided to jump off and roll down the side of the hill. I'm still laughing about Brenda's comment.

That was good. Malay, one year later. Javier Malay has completed his first year as president of Argentina. There's a whole bunch in there, but inflation, which had soared about 25% per month in December, 2023 when he took office, has fallen to 2.7% in October, 2024, the lowest since November 2021,

and November is expected to be 2.5. He cut public spending, I know Tuesdays will like this by 35%. in the first half of 2024. It's a good start. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, it's not really that hard.

And most of the people protesting were the people who are getting backdoor deals out of all that fucking government spending. And now that's largely stopped. So, yeah, if he could turn around Argentina, here's the thing is if you can take the shittiest fucking country aside from North Korea and you can turn it around. This is only one year in. he's actually they're projected to have a surplus next year yes and the first in a very long time yep and so if they can turn that around then it's just going to be a beacon for everybody else on the planet

when they look at their idiot government spending shit tons of money on stupid frivolous things and they'll say well if that guy with the crazy hair can do it why is it that i don't mean Donald Trump have your Malay. If the other guy with the crazy here. The guy with the great sideburns. Yeah.

If he can do it in his country where it was a million times worse or in Canada's case like one and a half times worse, you know, we can do it here. We can do it anyway. Liberals faced with declining interest. Well, there's a bunch of tweets around this,

but interest rates going down and Christia Freeland had put out the Bank of Canada is cutting interest rates again, making Canada the first in the G7 to cut rates five times. This means your mortgage will cost less. Businesses can invest more and our economy can grow stronger for everyone. Yeah, and then the Liberal Party tweeted, Breaking, the Bank of Canada just announced its fifth consecutive interest rate cut.

There's more work ahead, but we're building a strong economy that works for all Canadians. And then Justin Trudeau, good news. Bank of Canada cuts key interest rate to 3.5%. Now, let's go to what was actually said. Today we lowered the policy interest rate by 50 basis points. Canada's economy grew by 1% in the third quarter, which was slower than we expected. Recent data also suggests growth will be lower than projected in the final quarter of this year. Canada's job market is still softening.

Businesses have continued hiring, but the number of people looking for work has been increasing faster than the number of jobs. The unemployment rate rose to 6.8% in November. It has been especially hard for young people and newcomers to Canada to find work. Those were the liberal tweets regarding that exact announcement. They're telling you the sky is green. This is insane. when when christia freeland is saying canna is the first seven uh first in the g seven to cut rates five times you're like that's probably because you're doing something wrong correct if everybody else

is going in one direction and you're going in the other direction unless it's about vaccination no no no if normally when you when you say that line you're like oh this this could lead to you're doing something right but when it's christia freeland we all can go don't go that way. The reason things are going that way is because of that woman, right? It's because of our government. That's normally that line is, you know, when everybody's going one way and you're going against it, there's a lot of positive there. But when Christy Freeland's the one doing it, there's nothing positive about it.

We're going into dark times. And we've been in dark times with her and our fearless leader, Justin Trudeau at the helm. Marty Bose. Freeland is just lucky. She's hot. Okay, well, you know what? You need to stay away from whatever you keep barbed wire fences around there because if that's your type. If that's your type.

Canada's free death care. I'm going to pull this up. Okay, so. Oh, you pull it up to. Sorry. Here's a guy he says, had a bit of a health scare last night, but thankfully it wasn't a heart attack. Not sure what it was, though, because once they made sure I wasn't dying, I was thrown out into the waiting room. And six hours later, I said, fuck it, and went home.

Canadian healthcare folks best. And then a guy goes down, he goes, they didn't even do x-rays. I suppose that might have been well in 18 hours on and on. Then this person replied, you didn't die. And I'm sure others needed the attention more than the selfish. What was me guy that didn't bother to stick around after he was close to. of death apparently. He sounds Canadian healthcare did just fine. Then underneath that, somebody closed his obituary and he died the next day. Yeah, he died. He died. He spent six hours

sitting in the waiting room and then said, fuck it and went home and died. So this is, this is our, this is our healthcare guys. This is what it is. The goofy news. Okay. You He went from healthcare. Here's our policing. Do I even need a headline for this, too? Like, this is our policing. This is a news release from the Toronto police. If you're listening, it's a picture of a dog, okay?

It's Toronto police, news release. Suspects sought and carjacking investigation. It's a picture of a dog. Yeah, it's a picture of a dog just sitting there being all happy. Bloor Street, West, and the East Mall Area update vehicle recovered further images released. I feel like the only reason, why they assumed that that was the person who stole the car was because that dog is black. Yeah.

All right. As Canada's fertility rates drops, could a three-day weekend boost births? So once again, in the in the goofy news, we go to Canadian headlines and, well, rapid fire here. Isn't it funny how whenever there's any random issue in the world, the solution is just to be late at year. Yes. less work. And in that article, it literally talked specifically about the public sector. I'm like, really? Yeah. And it also said, it also mentioned that there's, there's absolutely no data to support this idea. But people just want to try it because this might happen.

Haitian gang leader massacres 184 elderly people after voodoo priests said they cast a spell that killed his son. Yeah. And this is a tweet. Trump has vindicated. gate it again on Haiti and has been for a while. This is a bunch of celebs wearing Haiti is great already. There you go. So I don't know where that's going, but okay. Just that Haiti killed 184 people over his spell. And Trump had said Haiti needs help.

And then celebrities came out saying, Haiti's great already, right? They're trying to poke fun at what Donald Trump does. So you put something in and didn't let me know. Oh, well, now you know how it feels. Vatican unveils nativity scene featuring baby Jesus swaddled in a, is it, FIFA type of pattern. I don't know. It's the palace pattern scarf used by Palestinians as a national symbol.

Ontario man says 911 put him on hold three times. His arm group broke into his home. That's a wild story to us. Yeah. Yeah. Like, hey, there's a guy pointing a gun at me. Hold, please. Boom, bum, bum, bum.

They literally break into his house, point a gun at him. He runs upstairs to his two. Points a gun at his kids, too. Then points a gun at his kids. He tries it. 911 won't answer or puts him on hold. Tries it two more times. Well, the guys are still in the house getting the keys for the safe.

It's just like, oh, my goodness. We're talking about the state of health care. Here's the state of police 911. Yes. How serious diversity-friendly jihadist plan on building a state. That's a headline. That's an actual headline. I'll show it to you.

There it is. Defunding the police activist goes viral after begging for help when everything she owned was stolen in San Francisco. Quoted, the cops didn't do shit. Maybe they need more funding. Regan. Raygun musical canceled after Olympian claims her dance moves are copyrighted. Yeah. They were going to make a musical to mock this ridiculous lady.

And she lawyered up and said that her dance move is, copyrighted and that's why that's why it's no longer going forward with Ray Gunn the musical. Jody Gondack, here's one, I'm curious, you know, I'm surprised he didn't put this as a standalone. I figured this would have been your rant. Jody Gondack

awarded mayor of the year by Municipal World Magazine and to make it just a little more salt in the wound or cherry on top twos, there isn't anybody else and we didn't actually even consider anybody else. That's what they said. So basically she got last place.

Okay, also from Blacklocks, a retired federal IT consulted lost a bid for thousands and damages after spotting a caution wet floor sign in a government building that was written only in English. I think there's another one too, though. Is there? I think that was the last. Yeah, the hurtful sign. Oh, hurtful signage. The bike lane. So here's a video of biking advocates is video of.

Toronto ambulance using bike lane proves importance of keeping cycling infrastructure. This is perhaps the best and worst argument for bike lanes I've seen in one time. Yeah, it's nobody's using it so the ambulance can go down it. So that's the thing is the bike lanes are empty because nobody uses them. But because nobody uses them, the ambulances can. So we could turn them into ambulance lanes that bikes are allowed to use. I'd be interested in hearing how that would go. But yeah, they just, they don't realize that while making this argument,

they're proving the detractors point against them. Yes, the reason to keep the lane there is so that emergency services can get to accidents. Oh, also, in goofy news, I threw this in with goofy news, the two's effect. You guys will remember two weeks ago when I was talking about how Calgary is starting to put fluoride back in the water, despite the fact that a month or two before that a new study came out saying that putting fluoride in the water decreases the IQs of people. And I said that this is the exact kind of thing you would do if you sat around and said only an idiot would vote for me.

What can I do to make the people who vote in this place stupider to help ensure my reelection? And then literally it turned out like two hours after that, Jody, and now she was running for re-election. Well, she is the mayor of the year, right? Yeah. So, I mean. I wonder how much fluorides in the water at that newspaper.

Update the flag cartel. Although Northern Ontario municipal leader vowed not to honor a $5,000 fine, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario levied against him for comments surrounding town council, not approving a motion to approve Pride Month. He wasn't given a choice. In fact, the winner of the judgment, the McQuaker called extortion has boasted, has already gone into his bank account and collected the money. This is a pretty... So, yeah, dude was gloating about this.

Yeah. Yeah. He said, he quoted, sure, sex is great, but have you ever garnished your mayor's bank account after he publicly refused to comply with the tribunals order to pay damages? Yeah. So, um, that's basically how this ended up. Now, it's interesting. I would say that it's probably fair to assume that this guy is going to be elected in a landslide for as long as he wants to be mayor every time he runs again. You're probably right.

Still, the bank account thing is unnerving, man, right? Walked in. I mean, you think it's weird that the Canadian government is willing to fuck with people's bank accounts? C-IBC. That's what bank institution it was. Yeah, it's, I don't know. History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes. Deplorable Canadian government refusing partial palatial raises for special needs. Employees the world has forgotten. The postal strike continues.

I'll say it again. This strike can go on for as long as it wants. I know we don't have Randy in here this week, which really sucks. Those two could be back to back. As Canada Post strikers, Canada Post workers remain on strike. On the picket line, a key point of contention in their demands is what they describe as a growing physical and mental toll amid increasing pressure on workers, more extreme weather and weather to expand health benefits. Enslin 41 has worked for Canada Post for 16 years and said the extreme weather brought on by climate change, whether it's inhaling smoke from wildfires or delivering mail during storms, has added significant physical and mental pressures to the job. Oh, from delivering parcels through scorching heat waves to battling blizzards, Canadian postal workers increasingly face extreme weather conditions that strain their bodies and minds.

Now it's repetitive stress all day for an eight-hour day. They said, I'm just going to tell a little anecdotal story. Back when I was working rigs around Lloyd, the light plant went down in our, in our doctor. house and so we didn't have anywhere to actually warm up and it was minus 40 and change that day and so we were going into the pump shack to take occasional breaks but we basically just stayed outside the whole time because you didn't have it was minus 20 in the place where we had to warm up and that was a 16 hour day i worked a 16 hour day where the warmest i could get was 20 degrees 20 degrees below And these people are complaining about how difficult their eight-hour day is when they're jumping in and out of their vehicle the whole time.

Get fucked severely. Newfoundlanders attempt at refinement falls short. What, you don't think they're refined people, Sean? The company operating the refinery come by chance. Confirm Monday that it is considering a shutdown of the Placentia Bay facility, less than one year after began. The Placentia? come by chance in the placentia. After began producing renewable fuels,

supervisors at the refinery were notified on Sunday that brayout renewable fuels is evaluating the possibility of an economic shutdown of the plant. In a statement, the company blamed the potential shutdown on lower than normal margins and short-term market disruptions caused by the expiration of the blender's tax credit. The refinery began producing fuel 10 months ago,

converting a feedstock of animal fats and vegetable oils into a ready-to-use diesel that can be used in everything from a pickup truck or a train or a power or a factory. Brea boasted that it product reduces overall carbon emissions by more than 50% when compared with petroleum-based diesel. The provincial government invested nearly 17 million to protect the refinery's infrastructure during the search for a new owner. The federal government also contributed 86 million. they got $103 million in subsidies, preferential tax treatment, and 10 months after the tax treatment went away, they blew through all their fucking money.

And you're going to tell me with a straight face that this is more economical than diesel? I don't think anywhere it says in there it's more economical. It says it cuts the carbon emissions by 50%. It's an environmental thing. Well, it is. That's what it is. And these things don't exist without government subsidies. And you have to ask yourself, if it can't exist without government subsidies, should it?

Take Canada to take Canada Post, for example. Although, to be fair, they don't get direct subsidies. Although I can't get a clear answer on who pays for the government side of their defined benefit pensions. Oh, and here, this one's a beauty. Proof postal workers have been drinking too much fluoride. Oh, wait, wait, sorry. Sorry, here you go. The NDP are not a serious party.

Are you going to show the video of Jagmeet? Jagmeet basically quoted, I've seen a lot of older men fail up and that they need to change us, but I'll let you listen to Jagmeet say. I just think about the pot and the kettle while you listen to this short clip. Once, I've seen a lot of older white men feel upwards again and again. and that is just going to continue unless we actually try to change things. So I fundamentally believe if you don't change things, you're going to have the same system.

And the same system is going to benefit those that were already in power. So you have to fundamentally do things to change it. And that's what equal voice is about. So basically, he's tired of white men failing upward. This East Indian guy who's very obviously failed upward. running a party full of people who have failed upward. It's tired of the white people failing upward. And he thinks presumably that people of minorities should also have a chance to fail upward.

Because that's what the NDP is all about. It's not about making people successful. It's not about making people reliant. If you think about it, their entire business model is based on having people depend on the government. And ergo, people who. are failing at some level. Because people who are successful don't really need the NDP. The NDP doesn't offer anything that successful people want or need from them.

It's things that they've already got on their own. And so if the NDP was a good party at all, if the NDP was any good at what they were doing, they would have made themselves completely irrelevant because there would be nobody left interested in voting for the things that they offer. A company full of Randy's. Oh, Randy is sneaking in here. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says women's rights and women's progress is under attack, pointing to the recent defeat of U.S. President.

Nope. Nope. This clip is the- A former auditor of the governor-Indigenous procurement program says a $160 million contract meant for indigenous business was awarded by a joint venture that served as a front for a non-indigenous company. The only reason he said in this, It's a couple minutes, but the only reason he said in this why the joint venture existed

was to basically shield the one company from the scrutiny that would have revealed that it was not indigenous owned. And it just kind of piggybacked off of this other indigenous own company to get in the back door and get a $160 million contract that it wasn't qualified otherwise to bid on. and so the company basically did redface. They were pretending that they were indigenous owned while it was literally just shuffling names around on numbered companies.

Goodbye, Earl. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says women's rights and women's progress is under attack, pointing to the recent defeat of U.S. presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Yes. Why the hell isn't this loading? motherfucker. Give me half a sec here.

Here's what I want to go with all of this. Is that I don't know what the hell is going on with the star, but it can fuck right off. Okay. So in the end of this article, Elizabeth May talks about how we need to have solidarity when faced with what's happening with the U.S. Okay?

And also his whole thing about how, you know, it's a loss for feminism. I would just like to point out that the leadership race, he was in to become leader of the liberal party, he ran against two women. And he beat them. Not like, you know, but he beat them. All right. Just as a side note. Now, David Cochran here. The actual leaders get together in the cabinet room. That's where they met, apparently. And they were all asked to not say things like the border is broken. And in about 45 seconds, Pierre Pallio says the border is broken. And then he leads off question period about the broken border. Right. So they're asking the leaders of all the liberal. liberals are asking the leaders of all the other parties to not talk about the fact that the border is broken.

And then David Cochran from CBC, goddamn idiot, is saying, well, he got asked to not talk about this thing and then he's doing it anyway. And then when we're talking about Freeland, again, she said, I think it's very important not to cast any doubts on Canada's fiscal credibility. you've got all these articles where people are saying the same thing is that regardless of what's happening or not, we're not supposed to talk about it. We need to put a united front together. We can't talk about the shitty job that the liberals are doing in running the country because it undermines investment and it undermines our international negotiation power. And so regardless of how shitty of a job we are all doing at this moment, We absolutely have to not fucking talk about it.

Sorry, because it's mean and it's unfair. And if you really cared about Canada, you would just ignore it. This is the classic thing where if the guy's beating his wife and then afterwards, he says, okay, well, you know what? You got dark glasses, long sleeve blouses and makeup to cover your bruises. because it's going to make our family look bad if everybody knows that I beat you. We don't want the family to look bad.

So should I stop beating you? No. But you've got to pretend that nothing's happening. You've got to just keep going along as though everything's okay. This is battered fucking wife syndrome. Classic in a nutshell. In the past week, there's four different fucking examples of this shit.

And it's perpetuated by different, parties and it's perpetuated by the CBC and nobody in that group thinks it's okay for us to talk about how bad things are in this country because it makes us look bad. How about you stop doing the bad fucking things? Liberals bad week. This is relatively interesting. Basically liberals threatening liberals, right? Yeah.

Yeah. So, you know, when we talked to, well, that's that's the next. part of it. That's the next one. But we did talk about that a couple weeks ago. What this is, is the 71,000 spent on food for MPs. I'm hopping. I'm hopping.

Get out of here, Sean. 812 spent on snacks. 71,000 menu featuring Veal Piccata, beef stroganoff, and Swiss chocolate cheesecake served in flight. Those were the highlights of the Prime Minister's four-day trip to Switzerland and Italy last summer, a trip that recently

recently released documents revealed to have cost at least $918,000. Yeah, it's really interesting how there's always money for shit like this. And if you actually go to the Canadian taxpayer federation whose access to information was the result of us knowing this info, they actually have all the receipts and stuff in a PDF that's, I think it's like 34, 35 pages long. And I was just glancing through it because this just broke this morning. And I couldn't find the booze because I was really curious if I could tell where they ordered what food because they got fancy Swiss chocolate desserts. Did they order that on their way to Switzerland or on their way from Switzerland? Because I feel like it would be classic fucking liberal for them to order something that got shipped across the Atlantic and then eat it while you're flying to the place it came from.

And then same thing with all the fancy wines that all the fancy French wines that they got, although they didn't go to France. they did go pretty close. And then the other thing is that the Nova Scotia liberal leader lost his seat in the provincial election, and he is now stepping down. So liberal is basically becoming a slur in this country. It's a bad word. They went 14 seats to two seats in this election. And it's just going to keep happening.

Yeah. It's just going to keep happening. update MP freedoms this was the one I pulled up earlier and yeah liberals basically Real quick Also the other thing in the receipts is that there was like $1,000 worth of no show hotel room charges So there was like a thousand dollars worth of people

Who didn't even show up for the fucking hotels And they got charged anyway sorry continue Liberal MP stands in the House Commons To say two of his fellow liberal MPs threatened and accost him for not agreeing with emotion brought forward. Quoted on the way out of the chamber, the member threatened that I'd be effed up. Yes. So you'll recall a couple weeks ago. We were talking about how CBC did this article and the liberals keep trying to talk about how Pollyev is keeping everybody tightly

under wraps and everybody's got to toe the line and say the things that Pollyev wants him to say and they're not allowed to speak freely. And my point was was that yes, that is true. Absolutely. but it's true of all of these parties. And the fact that they're glossing over the fact that everybody else is doing it and has been doing it for years. I mean, Jesus Christ, look at Jody Wilson-Ra-Bold, right? And so while this hour is 22 minutes is still trying to make sketches about how mean Polyev is, this is literally happening where you've got a very unfortunately timely example

of the liberals doing this. exact thing on fucking steroids. Happy news. Show the scene from Landman. I think everybody could use a little pick me up. And I don't know. I got to go watch this Landman show. Like I've seen like five different things come out of it now.

And Paramount, I believe is what it's on. And I'm like, I got to go get Paramount just for a month. I'm not going to get Paramount because they fucked me. They said sign up for a one week trial. trial and then when I signed up for it they immediately charged my credit card for a month's subscription interesting i'm like that's not a free one-week trial that's that's absolutely not what a one-week free trial is so you're saying don't go to paramount folks so i might just get this on the high seas of the internet but here's this clip and this makes me want to watch this show as well

this is but energy consumption is not a social issue the hell it's not it's deeply social And we must endeavor ourselves to educate the world about our commitment to clean a remedy. Well, you shut the fuck up. My God, this is why I don't come to these things. Y'all have been in so many shareholder meetings. You forgot what it is we actually do for a living. We are well diggers. We don't nor can we ever control how our product is used or what it is used for.

There's nothing I can do to make an engine run cleaner because I don't build fucking engines. I don't care what the governor of California says about electric. vehicles. I don't care how many career college students block London traffic or spray paint a fucking sculpture. I care that the price of oil stays between $76 and $88 a barrel. That is what we should be discussing. The world has already convinced itself that you are evil and I am evil for providing them the one fucking thing they interact with every day and they will not be convinced otherwise. Stop wasting your time. Stop fucking wasting mine. Yeah. So you've got a TV show. having an actual honest conversation about the state of things

rather than something like Captain America and the Winter Soldier saying you got to do better Senator and the whole story is based around a bunch of people not wanting to give up their free shit that they stole from other people. The tide is turning. This will be interesting too. Rob Schneider. We will be a show that will not be a narrow view or what you have had to endure all these years, a single view that scolds and demeanor.

those who have a differing view. This will be a show for all of us. He's, uh, Rob Schneider has announced that he's launching a new all-woman talk show, which will be the opposite of the view. Yeah. Like, what if you did the view that didn't suck? Yeah. Yeah.

Like that, that should be interesting. And then, um, here's a tweet from T.J. Mo. It said this tweet upsets some folks. So let me clarify. No one wants to listen to three women talk football. Men are better at it. It's like asking cats to bark. I issue no apology and no retracts.

Most people agree with me. They're just afraid to say it. Carry on with your outrage. And this was, yes, ESPN had three ladies talking the Green Bay game. Yeah. And he said, I don't want to hear three women talking about football. And in some extreme cases, in some extreme cases on an infinite timeline, you're going to be able to find three women.

They can do a damn good job of talking football. But I would say absolutely for the most part he's right. But he gets this big outrage and people are like, oh, we need to cancel him and completely ruin his ability to ever make a living again because of his stance on football commentary. And he just tells them all to get fucked. And so if the cancel culture mob ever comes after you, this and this only is the is the way to go response.

Yes. Community knows twos. We got the sat market. So shout out to Toby. and the group there. White Diamond Conference Center, Calgary, Alberta, December 15th, 9 am.

to 3 p.m. The sat market is a community-driven marketplace that empowers local vendors by embracing the sovereignty of Bitcoin and cash transactions. Farmers, tradespeople, artists, and a whole bunch more. There's a Sats market in Calgary.

So that's December 15th. Anything else in December 2s? There's some other stuff. I'm just going through the comments and I had to go to the top. And for some reason, all of the X comments, So for anybody commenting on X,

they all just for some reason went to the very top of all of our comments. So we didn't see any of them as we went. But we did have some people saying that twos was right. So yeah, that's weird. We're going to, but yeah, like there are pages up above the first comments that we got. But there was a few, here we go. Chris Scott and the Whistle Stop Cafe and Mirror will have Christmas dinner on December 25th, 4th through 8.

It's by donation. If you can afford it. if not come by anyway. Well done. Well done. There was another one that was early on. No. Okay.

Where the hell was it? Shoot, there was another one. And I lost it. So if you can say it again real quick, we'll find it. But other than that, that was it. May 10th Cornerstone Forum comes to Calgary, Alberta. And I won't blast it.

I had somebody text me the other day. Who did that? It came out real loud. It was real loud. And he said, I almost, so I'm not going to do that this week. But regardless, Cornerstone Forum, that's what I was in Calgary, looking at the wind sport and hotels and on and on and on. So that's May 10th coming to Calgary, Alberta.

And you can get tickets now, early bird tickets up until May, until December 31st. Tews, mashup 137. Is it in the books? I feel like you're going to tell me it's in the books. It's in the books. I don't know what it was about this week, folks, but twos was more irritating than ever today.

And I look forward to 138, right? Let's fast forward a week to 138. Maybe I can return the favor. Tews, as always, thanks for hopping on, folks, and we'll catch up to you next week. All right, sounds good. Thanks.
