Welcome to the Masha
Tell me whether I'm wrong or right
Easter west up or down side to side
I sit to stand and fall to fly
Of all of my impulsive plans
Popping locking salsa dances on demand
I follow leading off the map
Stop the tears scream happily
As much as we love them
We need to recognize everyone
Oh wow
They're just fucked up
In a lot of different ways
A wagging tail
Has to be one of the worst
evolutionary decisions
ever made on this planet.
Like, oh, you're getting excited
and you're just going to start flapping against things
and knocking shit over?
Like, in terms of survivability,
doing things that give yourself away
whenever you're excited
is probably not high on the list of stuff
that encourages your genetic lineage.
I don't get it.
Somebody explained to me
how in the heck nature thought it was a good idea
to have our little,
furry boys wagging their tails
every time they got excited about something.
It just seems like a great way to not have dogs anymore
until we domesticated them.
Mashup 140.
You know, I never know what Tuesday is going to start us out with,
but there you have it.
Dogs wagging their tails.
Matchup 140.
I'm not going to explain.
I got way too much stuff to do today,
and dogs wagging their tails isn't where we're going today.
No, good morning.
Joe Mama, got here in time for twos rant.
I'm curious, Joe Mama, were you expecting dogs wagging their tails?
Was that a twos rant?
It's more of a two's question this morning.
Happy Mashup 140.
Welcome to the show.
Thanks for joining us.
Happy Airborne Friday, Jamie Sinclair and the military boys.
Happy Airborne Friday.
Even though he's supposed to be on here, you think you tell a military guy to be here
100 hours, everything would be fine and good.
but no, I swear to God, ever since they put tampons in the men's rooms,
our military has completely lost its damn mind.
Yeah, Sinclair isn't here to defend himself or defend the Canadian military.
He's so bad when he hears.
He's going to beat the shit out of me.
Well, we got an action-pack show this week, Tuesday.
I want to hop right into the Code 6.5 story,
and then we can bring in our first guest after we get through that.
Bonnie, good morning from Podoka County.
Good morning to you all.
And I guess before we, we're going to talk Coutes 6.5 here quickly and then we're going to bring in our guest.
But if you're watching on X, you're watching on Facebook, you're watching on YouTube Rumble, make sure to like, subscribe, make sure you're getting the notifications and share us.
Like, share, graffiti, our logo on your town hall.
There you go.
Why would you say that, Sean?
You're inciting, you're inciting vandalism.
Uh, anyways, get a, get a rooster tattoo.
All right, Coutes 6.5.
Um, so Christopher Carbert, Anthony Olenick, uh, of course, sentenced to six and a half years.
Um, and, and one of the things we do is we, we bring up, um, uh, the different stories from across Canada and how, uh, they've been sentenced.
So sentencing, sentencing delayed for a Toronto man in a 36 million drug trafficking operation as he awaits to become first time dad.
and this is Marvin Watson, 33, pleaded guilty to importing meth and cocaine,
possession of meth for purpose of trafficking, laundering proceeds of crime,
and possessing property obtained by the crime.
Quoted in here was a lawyer who said, for a justice system to be effective,
there must be compassion, there must be empathy.
If we don't have that, what are we doing?
That's not true.
Just because you're saying something is the way it is,
doesn't mean that's actually legitimate.
A justice system doesn't need to be compassionate.
it could be compassionate, but it's not a prerequisite.
Well, and there was no compassion shown to the boys.
It could.
Yes.
So it's a,
this is an ongoing saga we're seeing across Canada of all these different,
like insane stories.
And then it plays out,
the justice system just plays out way different.
So there's your,
there's your,
it's important to be compassionate.
Yes.
Yeah,
well,
anyways,
we're going to bring on our first guest because there's,
you know,
This intends to resign thing has really been...
Well, let's get into that in a little bit.
Let's get our guest first.
Okay, well, she's been on the show quite a bit.
I don't think anybody's going to be surprised.
Chris Sims, folks.
Chris Sims back in-house to break down the debacle of our Canadian government.
Intends to resign.
Everybody's baffled by the word.
Here, I just...
Let's just go with the headline as an intro.
Okay. Happy, happy, happy news, happy news, folks. Chris, how are you this morning? Thanks for
joining us. Awesome. This week has felt like a month. It's been a little busy.
Yeah, I can just imagine. Can you walk us through this? Because he comes out, he does a press conference,
intends to resign, not resigning, intends to resign, which I mean is kicking off a whole bunch of
things. But walk us through this, because I called you almost immediately after it happened. I'm like,
Okay, just lay this on my brain of what this actually means now for the next couple of months.
So you're right. He's not gone yet. The door has not yet hit him on the way out the door, but he's intending to resign.
So he came out and made an announcement saying he's going to resign once the new liberal leader has been chosen.
Now, what's super crazy is that this liberal leadership contest now has to happen in this crazy narrow window of like the,
next six weeks. So we should have a new liberal leader selected by their party. Okay, you have to be a
supporter or a member, blah, blah of the party to vote for the new liberal leader and then the de facto
prime minister. So we should have that person dubbed, christened, whatever, named mid-March. So middle of
March, they should have their new leader named. Then it gets interesting because Parliament
reconvenes from its prorogation on March 24th.
So Trudeau will continue to be prime minister and leader of the Liberal Party until about mid-March range.
Ken, okay.
So first, can you break down, I keep butchering that.
Is it pro-rogue?
Is that what it is?
Oh, man.
It's a super weird word.
It sounds like somebody who's a fan of 90s X-Men comics.
Correct.
I used to have a white streak in my hair for rogue.
Exactly why.
We're all speaking the same thing.
The thing is I get around the water cooler and everyone's like, is it pro.
What is the word?
It's frozen.
What does pro this happening, boys, girls?
Parliament is happening.
Fair.
Why do we have, like, why do we have this?
Like, what is the purpose of proroguing the government?
Oh, oh, that's, yes.
Oh, well, there can be a million good reasons for it and lots of political reasons for it.
So the reason.
why we have it in our parliamentary system of Westminster is so that we can get a reset,
for lack of a better term, in Parliament. And what always has to happen after a prerogation,
after the freezing of Parliament or a pause, whatever you want to call it, is there has to be
a speech from the throne. And that, of course, is supposed to represent the actual throne,
King Charles III, because we are in a monarchy. We're in the middle of a great reset, folks.
We are, but we are, we are, people often are for say, oh, democracy, republic, blah, blah, no, no, we are a constitutional monarchy.
Okay. And so the purpose of prerogation is to stop everything that's happening in the Commons and in the Senate, have a reset, rewrite what you want to do, your next plan. So say something has happened, okay?
God forbid there's been an invasion or a war or something like that, okay? And you need to reset something or even something more minor. Say there's been a terrible run on the budget or something has occurred, natural disaster.
disaster. And you need to basically reset things. Maybe you need to do a cabinet shuffle. You
need to rewrite your script for the next few years. You proroke. Then they come back and they give a
speech from the throne, which is their blueprint, what they want to do, blue sky strategy,
from literally the Senate. That's why they give it in the Senate. That's the red chamber. That is
the crown's chamber. So that is the purpose of prerogation. Now, in modern day, and with the
adults in the room here, usually it's used to take the heat off of a government, right? If things are
getting too sketchy, if you think your government's going to get pulled down, if there's something
crazy going on that is not really great, and you want to shut it down in parliament, the prime
ministers will paroch. And pretty much every party has done this that I've ever seen. So that's what
we're in the middle of right now. I did want to stress the good news here about this current
prerogation is Bill C63 is toast. So that was the so-called online harms bill. That's toast.
And the only way you bring that back is if the next government has unanimous consent to bring it
back at the stage it was in previously. And I don't see that happening at all. So there is a silver
lining here. Silver lining. Okay. And this is a gold lining, folks. And I, I, I'm sure too,
I'm sure Tuse has some thoughts, but I have one other thought. I just want to make sure, because I'm
trying, okay, so pro-rogue government, March 24th, they come back.
Correct.
We can go through why pro-rogging is there and everything else, but whatever, okay, it's
there, this is happening.
There's a whole bunch of things I just don't get in politics.
It just seems so bizarre to me, but whatever.
So now March 24th, they walk back in, Trudeau says whatever he's going to say, nobody's
going to listen to a single cent.
I assume what's going to happen almost immediately is somebody's going to get up and say
there's a non-confidence vote.
Everybody's going to agree because Jagmeet doesn't have, I got to get to
get past my my pension or anything like that.
There's no reason at this point why there shouldn't be an election called like March 24th
on that day or March 25th.
I don't know the inner workings of like if it's got to wait a day or whatever.
So, okay, election coming.
How long after March 24th do we get an election?
Like is it, is it a set amount?
It's got to be as soon as there's a vote of no confidence, four weeks, four months.
Are we waiting until October?
Are we talking?
Give me the breakdown.
Great question.
So number one, it won't be Trudeau sitting in the front bench.
So unless he surprises everybody and runs for leadership again and decides to stay on as leader, not giving anybody ideas.
So whoever wins.
So this is what's a little bit weird.
Okay.
Wait a second.
Wait a second.
Can you imagine if every conservative went out, got a liberal membership and voted Trudeau back in if he ran?
so that he had to face the music, that would be, that would be something.
Sorry, Chris.
I wonder if you could draft him within the Liberal Party Constitution.
Anyway, so send that out to your flying monkey, Sean.
That is not my job.
Okay.
So, so whoever wins the next liberal leadership race,
as long as they have a seat in Parliament, I'll get back to that in a second.
If they have a seat in Parliament, it's going to be that person sitting in the front of,
bench where you're used to seeing Trudeau. So it could be, you know, champagne, it could be
Freeland, it could be an end, it could be any number one of the members of Parliament who we're
expecting to run. So that person will be prime minister, okay? Because we don't obviously vote for a
prime minister in Canada. It's not like the president. You vote for a party and the party has a
leader and that leader is a cabinet minister and they're the first cabinet minister for
his majesty the king. That's why the
They're called the prime minister, first minister.
So that will happen.
They're going to start sitting March 24th.
Then they're going to have to have a throne speech on like the 25th, like really soon.
A throne speech is an automatic confidence vote.
So if all of the opposition parties, including Mr. Singh, for sure, Z's actually votes against the government, government comes down.
And if they don't vote against the throne speech, they still have a supply motion.
that they have to vote on. And a supply motion in this context is basically enough money to keep
the functions of Parliament running for the next three months or four months. And that's also
a confidence vote because it's a money bill. That's expected that same week. So get this timeline.
They get a brand new liberal leader mid-March. They're sitting there, whatever, on March 24th,
back in Parliament, throw in speech, supply motion, non-confidence vote, carbon tax hike. The automatic
a carbon tax hike hits April 1st. Can you imagine hitting the campaign trail after
And they all get raises. And they get raises. Thank you. Good one, twos. And they get raises,
automatic raises. Imagine hitting the campaign trail as the newly minted liberal leader looking
for re-election. Knock knock, who's there? Carbon tax hike. Can I have your vote? Good luck.
It's going to be a wild few weeks. Okay. Is pro roguing, how does that affect the clock for
for the pensions.
Because I've seen a bunch of people talking about this,
but nothing's really been all that clear.
Oh,
there's still members of parliament.
Yeah.
Okay.
So pro-rogan doesn't affect the clock.
As far as I understand,
doesn't affect it at all.
Okay.
No, no.
They're just,
they're just cooling their heels.
They're in reset mode right now.
Chris,
the little bit I've learned off of,
um,
um,
the leadership race in Alberta and what and Daniel Smith winning and then
not being a sitting MLA.
And so being the premier of a,
of a promise,
province,
but not sitting government,
blah,
blah, blah, blah. Is there a possibility that somebody runs, wins the liberal election for leadership, sits as the prime minister, but it actually is not an MP? Is that possible?
100%. Yep. So the reason why, again, is because you don't need, now it's not typical, but the rules are, you don't need to run for the liberal party.
Pardon? Just a membership? Yeah. I had $350,000. I think it's, I think it's $350,000, too.
If William Maccas can raise 150 grand as a doctor in Alberta in like, what was that?
Like two weeks?
Don't you think one of us Yahoo's should run for liberal party leadership?
It's see if we could be PM for a day.
Walk in.
Anyways.
I think they might have a candidate screening program.
You're probably right.
You're probably right.
They don't even have a voter screening program.
I'm just saying you need 350 grand and you need to be a.
approved by like the party.
So you're saying I would have get approved.
You're probably right.
I'm just throwing that out there.
You may not get approved.
So, but yeah, to your question, in all seriousness,
say the former BC Premier,
who's a real player here,
Christy Clark, runs for the liberal leadership.
And she gets past the whole French cultural thing and stuff,
which will obviously be a big impediment for her.
Say she becomes leader of the liberal party.
She doesn't have a seat in the house yet.
She'd still be prime.
minister because you don't need to be a member of parliament to be part of the cabinet.
There have been rare instances where someone is brought in to the cabinet, but they're not an
MP. It still makes them a minister, though.
Okay. That's just bizarre. But my one, I don't, my brain may have skipped if you said the exact
thing I was thinking on timeline. Okay. So anyone in a liberal party, as long as they're approved,
and they hit certain things.
This reminds me of the provincial race.
So it's the same on a national race.
It's similar.
Similar.
My one question then finally is, okay, timeline.
If I got elected to the liberal spot,
everything you just laid out on things are going to happen,
hitting the old dusty trail,
I'm like, oh, man, that would suck.
So I would try and buy myself as much time
if I was actually serious both this.
Is there a way that we could have an election in October?
Is there like, is that,
or is it like as soon as it's triggered,
it's six weeks?
No, you can drag that out.
Who decides that?
Is the longest it can be?
Pardon me?
Would you say?
Two's?
I think three months is the longest campaign can go on for?
Yeah, the Harper campaign in 2015 was long.
It went all summer.
So remember?
And we had the vote on October 19th that year.
So we assume, or I assume, I shouldn't say, we,
I assume that it gets triggered on March 25th.
and by April 25th, lack of a better date.
We have an election.
And that's not the case.
So who decides, who decides what the timeline is?
I believe it is in consultation between the prime minister and the governor general in that case.
So it always has to come between.
So it's whatever, it's whatever the new person wants.
The funny thing about the implication, nobody talks about the implication, whenever these, these diversity hire checkbox,
no merit appointments that Trudeau makes.
The implication behind it is that they're aware that they don't have their job
because they're in any way noteworthy in that particular field.
They have it at his whim.
And because of that, it can go away at his win.
And so people like Brenda Lucky, for example,
what Trudeau wants, Trudeau gets.
Mary Simon, what Trudeau wants, Trudeau gets.
And then that way she can keep flying to Paris.
for $67,000 worth of hotels in five days.
Don't forget the ice limos that we spent in Iceland,
who and she was being driven around in all that rapture.
And then what is it?
The airplane food, beef Wellington, beef carpaccio.
Yeah.
So folks are living well.
That might change because, of course,
Prime Minister Trudeau is on his way out of the door.
And we want him to take his carbon tax with him, by the way.
he's on his way out the door
and the new prime minister
probably won't be in the job for that long
so the loyalties might be a little bit different there
my hunch in all seriousness is that we will have
so say they're back
I'm looking literally at my calendar right now
if they're back March 24th
they if they have a throne speech say on the 25th
and fall and then you count
it's usually on a Tuesday
an election is usually on a Tuesday
so I would say it's going to be April
29th or May 6th.
There's the prediction here on the mashup from Chris Sims.
Chris, I don't, do I have to let you?
I got, we got another guest sitting in the back.
Do you want to stick around or I know your days are busy?
It's up to you.
I should probably jump back off the horn here because I'm trying to kill the carbon tax this
week.
And what's really fascinating, if you can believe it, a lot of liberals are now saying, you know
what, maybe this whole carbon tax thing has been a disaster and we should get rid of
it. So that would be a very smart thing for them to say. Well, then I feel dumb for asking this.
How can you kill it this week if government's not? How is that possible? Because it's a regulation.
They don't need to be sitting. So the amount. So the existence of the carbon tax is there,
but there's actually no amount written in. So they could simply stop collecting it with like a
quick order, order through council through regulatory changes. They just need to tell their departments to
stop collecting it. So all, keep in mind that during prerogation and during an election campaign,
frankly, all the ministers, they're all still ministers. Like all the staff are still there.
Because, you know, God forbid, you know, aliens invade. We still need the foreign affairs
to walk out onto the mountain to talk to the aliens. So we still have all these, all the government
is still running. They're just not sitting in the house or the Senate right now. So we could,
we could kill it this week. What gives you hope?
just quickly.
What gives you hope
you could kill it this week?
Because it is
absolute kryptonite.
And any liberal party leader
that wants to hang on
to the carbon tax
is committing political suicide.
Tooz, yes.
Go ahead.
Hand up, twos?
Yes, yes.
I just,
Chris is awesome.
But the problem is
that she's throwing out
so many great points
that I'm just like,
I'm not going to interrupt.
I'm not going to interrupt.
Here's the thing.
Is that if the carbon, if global warming and climate change and all of this stuff is the single greatest existential threat that we face today, bar none.
But it's not quite important enough for you to be willing to update your resume.
I think you're probably overstating things a little bit.
I'm just bringing in QDM.
QDM sitting in the background.
QDM.
QDM, welcome to the show.
Yes, welcome to the show.
Sean 2, Smith Sims, I'm your biggest fan.
Now I'm very nervous being on this with you.
Well, it's okay, because she's going to leave right away.
I'm going to head out.
I'm kryptonite.
She keep bringing up by things.
I'm like, well, we got to talk about that.
Well, we got to talk about that.
You can't do this to us, Chris.
But you watch, you watch, even on, okay, guys, even on mainstream media,
liberal MPs are running away from this thing.
They're turning blue faster than a smurf holding his breath.
Like all of a sudden they're talking about fiscal discipline.
And, you know, I haven't heard them talk about capital gains yet,
but they're talking about killing the carbon tax, man.
They are running to the center as fast as they can.
Well, technically, they don't have to talk about capital gains right now
because CRA is just administering them in the way that they figure they should anyways
without legislation on them, right?
It's nice.
It's just taxation with a representative.
no big deal. We haven't had wars over that. It's fine.
Yeah, we need to start kicking some Ottawa tea into the, into Lake Deas.
I can't imagine how liberal would ever flip-flop on a carbon tax because, like, how do you take away your only talking point from an election that you're actually getting back more money than you pay?
I mean, wouldn't that be what you'd run your whole platform on?
You watch. They could fix the economy if they just raise the carbon tax higher.
No, they're going to run away from this thing. Guys, this has changed before. Okay, just a little fun story.
way back a million years ago
when the carbon tax first started in British Columbia
in 2008 and it was the BC
Liberal government that started it, which
by the way was then later led by
Christy Clark, who was a huge
carbon tax cheerleader. Okay?
She gave the template for the carbon tax
to Trudeau. So do not let her
say that she doesn't like it now. So
fun story, when the BC
liberals brought in their carbon tax in British
Columbia. Revenue neutral.
The end, it was never revenue neutral.
For one year it was because it did a corresponding income
tax cut, but they started cooking the book shortly after that. It was not revenue neutral.
So they brought in the carbon tax, the opposition NDP, I kid you not, campaigned against
the carbon tax. They called it lipstick on a pig. Their slogan, acts the tax.
The NDP. I'm, kid you not. Could you not? The late leader, Jack Layton of the federal
NDP was opposed to the carbon tax for very principled reasons.
Because he said you should not be punishing people for heating their homes.
You should not be making everything more expensive for especially for poorer people.
Like this is not okay.
That was the old NDP.
They changed like that.
And keep in mind, very recently, the conservative party, remember the previous leader?
2011 or 2021.
He was bringing in his own carbon tax, but telling you it was a fee or a levy and giving
completely flip-flop on it, right?
There wasn't a single.
conservative candidate who was allowed to run if they weren't supporting the carbon tax.
That's right. And they hated it, but they still did it.
But they shut it up. They shut up and went along with it anyway. So that's a great thing,
by the way, if you happen to be in Western Canada, you talk to your local member of parliament,
be like, well, square this circle for me.
Was this temporary madness or do you really mean it now? So to that point, you watch all of you guys.
this I guarantee you
a prominent liberal leadership
candidates will say I've never met
the carbon tax who are you talking about
you're 100% right
absolutely
you know Chris
there's a reason why we love having you on
and there's a reason why
you're going to be on stage again
at the Cornerstone Forum come Calgary
May 10th there's a reason why
when we do federal live election coverage
here with the mashup that she doesn't
realize it yet folks but Chris will be
joining us because obviously you can tell
she's left us all speechless and then you keep
rattling off such great points. I'm like, well, just
keep talking. I'm not, I've got a whole
show here and I'm just going to, I'm just going to
throw it right in the dumpster and just let this carry on.
I feel like for the federal coverage, we should have a panel
that's like hurt Carson and Franco.
Yeah, a little taxpayer, Canadian taxpayer
roundtable. We can make it happen.
We can make it happen. Sure. We can make it happen.
You want to have a group throw some numbers at you that'll
drop your jaws. It's the,
Canadian taxpayer federation.
Yep.
Every time.
Thank you.
It's Devin, by the way, that's working hard on the capital gains.
I haven't looked at that all week because I've been trying to kill this carbon tax
all week, but capital gains tax hike.
He's a lawyer and he's got a background in economics.
That hasn't passed through, right?
Like me and two's talked about this last week.
And then it got dropped when everything prorogued.
And Revenue Canada said, look you, I'd do what I won't.
But Chris, that doesn't make any sense.
Revenue Canada was doing it before they pre-revenue.
pro roads. Yeah. Yeah. So the problem, so this is a, yes, it's a major issue because it is taxation for
representation and people are super mad about it. They have. It's taxation with a legislation.
Big, big time, big time. So what happened? But this is a good indication of what we mean when we say
there's permanent government. Okay. There are departments and entire apparatus in Ottawa,
Gatno, that area that just turn on as usual. Like these departments with their long time staff,
they see political staff and politicians as like, oh, you now.
I'll just wait you out because you'll eventually leave because I'm permanent government because we got to keep the lights on here.
Now, you could argue that that was usually an understandable sentiment because you got to keep payroll going at Treasury.
You got to keep the lights on.
You got to keep, you know, income taxes.
All that stuff has to keep rolling.
So they just took it upon themselves to keep on rolling with this, but not so fast.
So we're definitely pushing on that one.
But that is, that's Devon's baby.
But this is what happens when you have elected officials going in with the mindset that they are going to change things.
And they're going to make a difference in what's happening in government.
And then they run up.
It's provincial, it's federal, it's everywhere.
And then they run up against the bureaucracy that is the actual government.
And eventually they just get into a war of attrition.
And every politician loses every time.
It's very seldom you'll see somebody win.
This is why, sorry to jump back in and be a hog, but this is why Pierre Pahliav said that to Jordan Peterson.
When he said, I'm paraphrasing, I can't do this by.
myself.
Y'all who are so
up to politics right now,
you stay in the arena.
Because I'm going to be up against
this, this, this, and this.
That's exactly what he meant.
Well, here's the great thing.
We're not going anywhere, right?
So, like, you think about,
we've, we've had lots of chats, Chris.
Well, actually, so was twos and me and Q
about the rise of people being engaged
in politics.
And it shows like this and it's people such as your,
well, all of you being involved in it
and breaking things.
down and keeping it, you know, politics is pretty confusing, honestly.
Like, you ask me questions about hockey and like the NHL and the HL and how things work
and somehow the entertainment of hockey breaks it down.
And you're like, oh, yeah, that makes sense, even though it's super confusing.
And I look at politics and I'm like, it's happening right now across Canada.
There's more and more shows every day that are focusing on it and bringing people in
and making them more and more involved in our political landscape.
So when I heard Pierre say that to Peterson, I was like, oh, yeah, that isn't going away.
I think it's just ramping up, frankly.
I could be wrong on that.
But from what I see, I see it being more and more people being engaged.
Yeah, big time.
And this is where it's at.
And it's a good thing because we have to be able to, one, help politicians when they're doing the right thing.
And we have to push and remind politicians when they seem to forget what they're supposed to be doing in there.
Now, it sounds like if Pierre Pollyov gets elected, it's going to be more of the former.
Like he's got a whole bunch of things he's promised to do.
Scrap the carbon tax, work on balancing the budget.
Capital gains.
I think he's on record for capital gains.
Cancel the firearms grab.
Stop all the censorship.
Like so many.
The CBC.
CBC, defunding the CBC.
Huge.
Here.
Yeah.
I've got bumper stickers now.
Isn't that beautiful?
This is on my.
truck. This is on my Chevy.
Can we get those at
taxpayer.com? Not yet.
But DM me
and I'll send you one.
I'll just locate
into your DMs.
Chris, thanks for
hopping on and doing this and for everything
the Canadian Taxpayers Federation
does. And I mean like specifically you.
You're just such a wealth of information.
Ever since I ran into, I forget
was it 2022 I want to say?
And then you came to Eminton, enjoy having you on every time.
And while we'll look forward to whenever this election gets called,
and we're certainly going to have her on the election live coverage folks that it's going to be happening here.
And just appreciate you giving us some extra time this morning.
Normally I run through this and I told twos before we started.
I'm like, we're going to give Chris as much time as she wants this morning because I'm like,
I'm grateful to time.
I'm so confused with everything.
I'm the answer is yes.
All seriousness, you folks keep me sane and give me hope on those long road trips because I just bend all your shows.
So thank you all, gentlemen.
Perfect.
Thanks, everything you do, Chris.
Yep, thanks again, Chris.
Now, while we're waiting for our next guest, QDM, thanks for hopped on.
You hopped on and then you did exactly what we did.
We're like, well, I'm going to sit back and I'm going to listen to Chris talk.
I'll listen to Chris all day.
Now, we had a listener go, hey, Q, where's blue?
ball where are you at today where are you at i'm actually i'm i'm on the side of the highway
at the pull out by kit scottie right now oh you couldn't drive an extra five minutes to
drop in on the on the studio i uh i i reached out to sean i said hey let's meet up for coffee
and he just gave me the the the bar treatment he just like well like i got a lot on the go i'm
like well sorry i apologize for texting you you you know i'm on i'm on my way to uh
I'm on my way to Tofield.
We're doing a 4-H fundraiser in Riley tonight.
So I got to go to town truck, not blue ball,
because a day cab does not allow you to pack all your gear with you
and all that good stuff.
And let's be honest,
you don't want to drive that far in a daycap, Bob tail,
and it sucks, man.
Now, I want to ask you about intended resign.
I'm sure Tews does as well.
But instead of leaving them in the background,
I'm going to bring in our next guest,
and then we're going to ask you about intent and design
and allow this to carry on.
So welcome to the Jim Sinclair.
Thanks for showing up.
on time, eh? On time
and on target.
Up to John.
Friday, boys.
Yeah.
Up to John. Cheers.
Now, boys,
the reason for bringing everybody
on was obviously the start of the week we had
intend to resign and
everybody's thoughts on this.
Chris Sims has broken down
kind of what's going to happen
over the course of the next couple of months
and, you know, and an election
is coming no matter what, whenever it gets announced for the actual date.
Whether it's in October, it's in April, it's in May.
It doesn't matter.
We have an election coming.
We're going to have a new prime minister.
We're going to have a new leader of the Liberal Party.
QDM, I thought I'd start with you.
What are your thoughts on intend to resign?
And certainly feel free to hop in at any point, Jens.
Yeah, I intended to build six miles of fence this summer.
I intend to work out at the gym every new year.
There's a lot of things I intend to do.
It's a matter of what do we actually get done.
And right as soon as he said it,
it just, it doesn't matter.
They're going to run a leadership race.
And there's a couple things.
It wasn't the whole thing,
but I mean,
there's a few things that Polly have said
with his interview with Peterson,
is why are we held hostages,
Canadians while the Liberal Party
shorts their shit out.
And there's no way they're going to sort their shit out.
It's not happening.
And that place is an absolute dumpster fire.
Everybody's jumping off of the ship.
And the only people that are dumb enough to run for the leadership
if we're going to, like you say, be two, three days as prime minister,
and then they're going to get decimated in election.
I send a tweet out about it.
And Trudeau's not going anywhere.
Watch him walk around like a smug prick that he is,
being like he's got very important prime minister's work to do while his cabinet's meeting
to get figured out what they're going to do with his dumpster fire.
They left him.
And the first thing he does is he goes down to the U.S.
and goes on all the left-wing media that he could find,
CNN and MSNBC, and starts talking about, yeah,
about some of the dumbest shit you could possibly hear a guy say.
And he's just going to walk around and embarrass us for the next three months.
And then hopefully something doesn't happen where he finds some sort of procedure that he just runs for prime minister anyways.
It's like saying, it's like saying, you know, I've got an STD.
All right.
And they're like, okay, well, we've got the cure for.
What is it?
Can I have it?
No, actually, I've had it since, what, 2015?
Yeah.
And then now I have the opportunity to get rid of it.
But yeah, we've got the cure, but you're going to have to wait.
for three months. And then once you actually get
there, they're like, okay, well, we realize that you had
chlamydia, but we're just going to give you a gonorrhea here
now for another three months.
And then maybe we might be able to get rid of it.
Like, it's just, he's not
going anywhere, and it's not going anywhere fast.
And we're just going to sit here and get completely
steamrolled by the U.S. with
tariffs and everything that Trump is doing
while we sit here spinning our tires.
And I don't blame Trump for doing what he's doing.
It's like a wolf. He sees something
weak, and he's going to attack it.
Hey, do you mind have I, mind if I jump in here real quick?
Absolutely.
What you're here for, Jim?
Okay, guys, hey, we could sit around and bitch and moan about, you know, why aren't we having an election right now?
And that's going through the courts.
Hopefully that gets sorted out because we've got to start doing something.
There's one thing I've learned is, you know, when shit starts going south, you start looking around you to see who's there to stand.
with you and sometimes you got to just look within yourself and make things happen.
Our nation's been through this before the war of 1812, the Boer War, World War, World War II.
And our nation has stood up and has come together and did some pretty incredible things.
We had the third largest Navy after World War II.
We had the second largest Air Force behind the Americans.
We as a nation, we're built for this.
This is going to be our defining moment.
as Canadians and
we're going to get through to the other side
and we're going to be better for this.
Trump's doing the right thing.
He's got to protect his nation.
They gave way the Panama Canal for a dollar.
China owns the Panama Canal.
They can't get their military or their supplies
through the canal anymore.
The Northwest Passage is an easy play for the states.
They haven't let us control our own North for years.
It's time for us to start building ships
in Quebec and on it.
And in the Maritimes, we can fucking build icebreakers and start controlling that Northwest Passage.
Yes, oil and uranium and all the other resources are important to the world, that Northwest Passage is going to be the key to the success for this nation.
And as a paratrooper, back in the day when the Airborne Regiment was around, that was our primary task with sovereignty of the North.
We got to get off a fucking ass and stop blaming everybody around.
this. We created this situation by being weak and having politicians run our government instead
of having leaders run our government. And we've got to start fucking bringing leaders into the play
and forget about their skeletons that are in the closet because they're going to be the
ones that get us through this. We've got to start working on our textile industries.
It used to be in Manitoba. We've got to start looking and selling within and two other
trading partners that want to work with us and not fucking China.
when we put a tariff on Florida oranges
doesn't mean we buy it from fucking China
because it's just going to be poisoned anyway.
We've got to start figuring out
how to work with the rest of the world
and Trump's protecting his nation.
That's his fucking right.
Well, we have a right as taxpayers
and citizens of this beautiful country
to start protecting ourselves
and let's fucking earn it.
Like, if they're going to cut off $300 billion a year to Canada
because they want to try
economically take us over.
Well, fine.
We'll find fucking a way to get around that.
But crying and bitching their moan and ain't going to do it.
So there's lots of smart people out there.
This is going to be a defining moment for Canada.
And we're going to come out on the other side of this great.
Because tough times make tough men.
Yeah, you're right to me.
I want to bounce two things off you, Jim.
Number one, I mean, like the amount of energy that we actually do ship down to the states.
I don't know if Trump 100%
knows where we talk about when he's like we actually don't need anything that they have
if we stopped shipping what we ship just in crude oil down to the states right now they'd be
in almost an energy crisis but but secondly jim what's like what's your thoughts on our cap like
we have let our air force and our air superiority that we that we once had in canada completely
decay and under harper we're supposed to make a deal on f35s that was completely trounced and
trampled by trudeau and now we've made the deal again we just seem to keep spinning our tires
Like what you're saying,
Northwest Passage.
First thing we do,
first thing we do,
we hire back,
like we get Hillier back,
all these guys back that,
that have been forced out of the army or out.
We fucking fire everybody in the,
in D.HQ,
because they're all fucking corrupt
or wokeism.
Like they're,
they're fucking going in the wrong directions.
They're not trying to be in,
yeah,
fuck, he's awesome.
I had the,
I had the great opportunity of,
of bodyguarding him actually for a short period of time in Afghanistan and 06.
And I got to know him there.
But anyways,
just a fucking beautiful guy.
We take over our country again.
Like we got to stop hiring all these left leading fucking people that say they're doing the right thing for our country.
When you're hiring five foot tall RC&P officers to go and defend our communities in the north,
that's ridiculous.
Like,
we need to get back.
That being said,
that being said,
I have fought some very short
bull riders,
and they are tough little bastards.
So you got to be careful.
Sometimes height isn't everything,
but I hear you.
Hey,
I'm fucking five foot six,
but I'm 10 feet tall
full of solid steel and sex appeal.
I get it.
But when a six foot four RCP officer
walks into a party
or into a group of young men,
that his size right there
identifies that he wants some attention.
that he wants some attention and you're going to listen to him.
All right.
I've been short all my life and underestimated, thank God, a lot of times.
But you don't command that presence, especially to criminals.
They respect one thing and that's violence.
Like, they don't want to be talked too nicely.
You've got to be able to relate with them, but you've got to be able to deal with them on the other hand.
That's not a different story.
But that's basically all the world is.
world is going to steal everything from us, take away our future for our children if we don't
stand up for ourselves. And this is a good opportunity for Canada and band together. And this is
our World War II. This is, this is, we're, we're ready for this. We just got to start
looking inwards and start working together. Yeah, well said, Jimmy. I don't think anybody's
really talked about how great this past week has been with, with this whole thing. This is
been nonstop good news the whole time.
Like, here, let me just walk you guys through this.
So Trudeau shows up 15 minutes late for his own fucking resignation.
Thank God for the wind.
It's out his front door.
He couldn't even blame the goddamn commute.
He's just lazy and entitled.
And everybody else is at the whim of his leisure, which is exactly how he worked as a prime
minister. I said this to like 10 people. Absolutely. Yeah. All right. And then. And thank God
for the wind blowing his papers away. Yeah. Yeah. There's there's that. And so then he decides to
free ball it like he did everything else. And then he decides to pro rogue parliament. He puts the
interest of his party first and foremost above what's going on with Canada. And everybody's
terrified. There's some legitimate concerns about actually having somebody capable of
mentally handling the job in the United States as president and some things are going to change.
But I think for the larger part, this is being way overblown by a lot of crazy leftist media.
And so they're going and losing their goddamn minds because there's no one at the rudder in what's
largely an overblown situation in their heads.
And so they're like, well, where's Trudeau when we need him?
Where is the liberal party when we need them?
Well, they've shut down parliament.
They've shut down parliament to try clinch pensions and have a decent leadership race.
Because that is more important to them than effectively facing this unprecedented terror that is Donald Trump.
And so, hey, sorry to cut you off.
Oh, no, no, no.
When Trump had Trudeau down there and Trudeau came back and he saw the writing on the wall,
and he knew he can't fucking do nothing to protect Canada.
That's why he's getting out before Shiko hits the fan.
The thing is, opportunity, like chaos creates opportunity.
This is a great opportunity for Canadians to get control of the North
and to make sure that anybody going through our Northwest Passage,
we have, we're financially gaining from that.
All the oil reserves, gas reserves, the fishing that's up there,
we're going to be able to control it and manage it so the Chinese don't drag fucking drag nets through there and kill everything that's up there.
This is great opportunity for us to be a nation.
And I think we just got to start looking forward.
Put all that bullshit behind us and fucking let's figure out a way to make this happen.
Because we can do it.
And we've done it in the past.
That's all good.
I just want to just the rest of what I was trying to say, though, is that,
you've got a guy who on his way out in his resignation speech blamed everybody else.
Classic Trudeau.
When he was a kid in kindergarten, somebody else shit his pants.
It's been this way his entire time.
He backs down when things get difficult.
He shows up fucking late.
He can't be bothered to take any of this shit seriously.
And when push comes to shove, he puts the interests of the politicians ahead of the citizens.
And this has just been this one big snowball.
it just keeps expanding.
And the longer everything pro rogues,
and the more everybody gets hysterical about this,
the longer and longer and longer it's going to be
before anybody in this country
even thinks of voting liberal ever fucking again.
And I'm here for every second of it.
I just want to say this is probably,
and I think the audience would agree,
the quietest twos has ever been on a show,
so he is going to get his rant in.
and it doesn't matter who's going to stand.
I've been sitting on the side,
or me and Tuesdays have been doing the show for 140 straight weeks.
And I tell you what,
when Chris Sims is talking,
Jamie Sinclair,
QDM,
he's quiet as a sheep,
quite as the most,
and he's like,
they got great points,
but I'm going to get my point in.
Tuesday,
I got to go.
I love you fuckers.
Let's stop looking in the Ruby mirror and let's look forward and let's go out there and make this nation great.
Jim, thanks for.
Love it, Jimmy.
Yep, thanks for coming on.
Always a pleasure.
Yes.
Everyone else.
Man, I'm not going to be able to stick around much longer here either, boys.
I feel like I'm going to get sideswip in this pull-up, but I do got to get making some miles.
No, we'll let you out too, Q.
We appreciate you giving us some time.
Yeah, get back to your regular programming, hey?
Yeah, that's right.
And I'll bet you next time I roll through Crossfield,
twos won't stand me up.
I don't even know what we're talking about right now.
Where? Tuesday, you've just got two.
Tuesday.
I'll bet you, I'll bet you.
I'll bet you, I'd text them rolling through town.
He'd be like, yeah, hell, let's meet up, right?
Are you?
Doesn't hurt.
No, no, I'm not.
Thanks for.
Peace up, boys.
Take care.
Oh, man.
I don't even want to do anymore.
I'm just like, that was,
great. Can we just cut the roll right here? Chris Sims lit it on fire. QDM lit it on fire. And then
Jim Sinclair lit it on fire. Yes. And then twos lets it on fire. But I had to wait. What was it? It's
been 47 minutes for twos to four minutes. Before he's basically said anything? Yes.
Well, okay, you look at the lineup and you're like, of course I'm going to sit back and listen
when these guys speak up. Of course. This has been, oh, this has been a great day. Mashup 1.40.
you know we're trying to want to cover the news well i mean this how about this crack the beer
and laughed till i turn red no more drink box water things or the nonsense that he said he taxed the rigs
he killed the farms caught our oil a disgrace while he sat in gold with silver spoons a smuggle look on
his face good rid and just and don't look back the country's had enough you broke the back so
working folks, but we're built strong and tough.
All Canada's done with your charades, your scandals, and your lies,
a clown that ran this circus quick.
About damn time, goodbye.
Who is that, twos, who's singing that?
Whoever that is, like, fantastic.
If anybody knows who it is.
Ozone 403.
Yeah, yeah.
So somebody in Alberta, believe it or not.
We need to get a hold of that.
Whoever, does anybody in the watching this know who sings that?
because if you do drop their name,
drop, like hit me up, right?
Like that, that's a great little tune.
And by the way, from the rant before Jack says,
Tuesday is right, L.O, keep up, LOL, keep up good work.
And Sandy says best mashup ever.
But, man, we had a lot of interesting stuff this week.
I know.
I know.
I know.
You tell me what you want to do because we have like 40 things and I go.
Okay.
All right.
What do you want to do with the last 20 minutes of the show?
Okay. You know what? Let's make it 10. All right. Dairy Queen in in in BC somewhere says Trudeau resignation special $2 burgers.
And then they get a bunch of pushback on social media. And in their defense, they didn't really think this through very much.
Like you've got Vicki Campbell saying, I'm never going to set foot in another dairy queen. Bullshit, you weigh 600 pounds.
If you're Dairy Queen, your target market is people who don't give a shit about how they look.
And that is overwhelmingly the left right now.
So maybe you do it in your other businesses.
But then they did a follow-up.
They said, Pollyav for PM, Poutine $5.
And so that's the way you fight back against cancel culture.
When someone says, oh, I'm going to boycott you or we should cancel this or whatever else,
you be like, fuck you, I'm going to do it even harder.
That's the right answer.
That's the right answer.
Trudeau, you know, we touched on it before his idiot trip through,
through safe leftist media.
Here's him saying marching against proregation in Montreal.
You know it's a good day when even the Communist Party comes out for democracy.
See, he was against prerogation when it went against him.
You had David Ebby's chief of staff getting a 270,
$29,000 payout for two years of work.
Let's see here.
The tax needs to be reexamined.
Look at this.
This is Andrew Coyne.
And I've talked about how much I can't fucking stand this guy.
And right now, the legacy media stance on Trudeau is, we all knew he was a vapid piece
of shit the whole time.
Bullshit.
Either one of two things is true because you never, ever talked about this stuff.
This article, he talks about the blackface.
He goes through this guy's whole sordid.
history. This is a fucking 2,500 word essay about how much Trudeau sucks, and he's never
breathed one fucking word of it in the last nine years. So one of two things is possible.
Either one, you just figured this out now, which means you're a shitty fucking journalist,
or two, you knew about it before and you were fucking lying, which makes you a shitty journalist.
So pick which shoe you want to wear. Neither one of them are going to be a comfortable
fit going down the road.
All right. Here is Andrew Coyne following up with this.
Justin Trudeau is the kindest, warmest, bravest, most wonderful human being I've ever
known in my life.
And I want to talk for a second about the fact that he keeps talking about how evil Trump
is and how mean Trump is and how he believes in Canada.
We need to stand up for Canada.
He's got four fucking flags in his profile.
and none of them are this fucking country's flag.
If these leftists actually gave a shit about what Trump was saying about annexing Canada as the 51st state,
if they were even remotely serious about it,
they would have say they would have like Canada's strong in the bottom corner of their picture.
And all of their bios would have the Canada flag in them because it's a meaningless gesture.
And there's nothing more important to these fucksticks than meaningless gestures.
Do I want to keep going?
I'm like, maybe I should have guests on every time to bottle to use up.
To choose the bottle up, he's just like sitting there.
And now he's just like straight fire.
I'm like, well, just I don't even know what you need for me.
Just rant about the news.
I'm sitting there.
Anybody else enjoying this?
If you're enjoying it, please share.
Please share it wherever you would like.
Because I'm sitting here and it's been straight fire from, we open.
up and then here we go and I'm just going to go back twos.
What else would you is irritating twos today?
Oh, I'm loving this part.
This is great.
So the liberals, because they're fucking idiots, have absolutely no vetting process at all for
voting in the leadership.
So anybody can become a member and it's absolutely free.
And so people have been going on and registering their pets.
This guy, I want to share that my dog will be voting Canada's next prime minister.
Isn't that great?
Her vote, by the way, is totally for sale.
Classic liberal.
But they welcome Poppy to the Liberal Party of Canada.
This girl registered her dead dog, which is half on brand for the liberals, Fawsey Bear.
And so that dog's part of the Liberal Party of Canada.
And then this one's extra good.
I gave the address for the Chinese consulate in Ottawa.
And just like that, just like that, Xi Jinping was.
ping was signed up to vote
the leadership race.
We like to talk about how the
NDP are not a serious party. The liberals
are not a serious party?
I'm fucking retarded, man.
Okay, the only person
who is confirmed to enter
the leadership race right now
is Chandra Aria.
And if you've never heard of him,
it's because you've never heard of him.
He's done absolutely nothing
noteworthy. He's a member of parliament
in some place I had to look up. It turns out
It's in Ottawa.
And it's called Nepian.
And for those of you wondering,
the only confirmed person running in this election
has less than a 1% chance of winning his fucking seat.
And the other noteworthy thing happening out right now
is that a bunch of old pictures of Mark Carney
hanging out with Gislay and Maxwell came out.
So there's that.
Yeah, I did see that.
I'm like,
when you talk about this week Tuesday,
being like complete gold you know it's like we we we we uh we tried in the background before we get
to the next headline we tried to do something monday night and i could not find a babysitter to save my
life and so we we we pushed it off and then this is why we're doing it this way at this time
this morning folks because there's been a lot of people reach out like are you guys going live you guys
you go live and instead we had to wait till friday and the thing about it is is the week didn't
slow down it just sped up with the absolute uh stupidity that's
been coming out of the Liberal Party and you're hitting the nail on the head this morning.
Now, would you like me to get to the next headline?
Well, yeah, let's blow things up a little bit, shall we?
Get vaccinated.
All right.
Now, I don't know if anybody saw this or not, but a 19-year-old woman experienced significant
breast hypertrophy starting one week after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine in September
2022.
And she got giant boobers.
Over six months, her breast size increased from a size B cup to a triple G.
I talked about this years ago.
I said if you want people to go out and get vaccinated, instead of saying there's no side effects,
you say there's a small chance of incredible penis enlargement.
I didn't think of breasts, but I said like if you actually want people to go out and get vaccinated,
you'd be like, look, there's a very negligible chance that your penis will quadruple in size if you get this vaccine.
And boom, everyone's going to.
going to have their QR codes.
And it never fucking happened.
But now it's happening with the mammaries.
And if people can't read that, it says the Pfizer boob job, a case of unexplained.
Giganto mastia.
No, it's like the stand goes.
Mary the ass, vaccinate the boobs.
What?
Blacklocks.
Totally lit it up this week.
Descenting voice is even just one can weaken the power of a normative belief.
Blacklock.
series, they had to wait two or three years to get this access to information stuff to come out.
Examine $19.4 million digital citizenship initiative to counter misinformation.
When government installed the release for three years under access to info, I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say, if you're a government employee and you're doing something that you want to push back on access to information requests about, what you're doing is fucking wrong.
Stop doing it.
Don't do that anymore.
If you're like, well, you know what, I think it would look bad on us if people knew we were actually doing this.
Stop fucking doing it.
Can you show?
Yes.
No, no, no.
Show this one.
Show this one.
Criticizing the city's response to the windstorm and fires.
He says officials should have been more.
Now, it spreads so quickly.
And the issue to me is, should have been more prepared.
Real issue to me is twofold.
We've had decades.
to go remove the brush in these hills that spread so quickly.
And the second is, you've got to have water.
And my understanding is the reservoir was not refilled in time
and in a timely matter to keep the hydrants gone.
So that's a failure whether on DWP's part or another city agency.
But this is basic stuff.
This isn't high science here.
And it's all about leadership and management that we're seeing a failure of.
and all of these residents are paying the ultimate price for that.
Despite what you have heard from Caruso,
no firefighters have told us that they are running out of water.
And let's go out to Gigi Graciette.
She is live in Pacific Palisades.
I know your signal is not the best,
but Gigi, what can you tell us?
Well, firefighters have told me they have no water on this path.
You may be able to.
Like, literally, nobody has told us we got no,
There's no water.
No firefighter said that.
First thing that comes out of the reporter on the boot.
Like, come on.
Here, I just want to point out.
That's Fox News.
That isn't CNN.
That's Fox for Pete's sake.
I just want to point out real quick.
Here's where the fire is.
Okay, guys.
You know what the blue part right next to where the fire is?
Sean, do you know what that blue part is?
The blue part of the map?
The map.
I'm going to assume it is water to.
I mean,
It's like arrested development.
Well, the blue parts obviously land.
Jesus Christ.
You've got a fire going on right next to the ocean.
You can't figure out how to put it out.
All right.
Interesting development in BC.
The conservatives are launching an investigation.
They've got several signed affidavits
talking about chicanery and corruption in the one riding
that won by 22 votes several days after the election happened.
Now, it's so weird.
It's crazy.
When Sean, when we covered this, we were like, they're doing everything they can to make it look like they're cheating.
So are they trying to just goad people in or are they really fucking cheating?
It looks like they're cheating.
It looks like when you've got this, they've got a mountain of paperwork backing up all of the shit that happened in this riding.
They were somebody who voted twice.
They went into, they went into one person.
One person said they never voted.
It's Surrey Guilford that's the writing that they're pointing out where they lost by 22 votes.
That's what they lost by.
And it took a week of delaying to realize that maybe they were, you know, like to sort it all out.
And now later, they're like, there's a mountain of evidence.
Here is our mountain of evidence that this was bullshit.
Okay.
Other thing, Goody Hutchings, a liberal MP in New Plains.
of rural economic development.
Yes.
So not just an MP, pardon me,
but a minister is also saying that she's not going to run again.
And believe it or not,
it's because she wants to spend more time with her family.
All right.
Alberta, UCP votes to boost MLA pay taxpayer funding for their caucus.
It's a mixed bag.
I didn't realize this,
but they haven't gotten a raise since 2013.
2013, which means by implication that Rachel Notley, the NDP,
were in power for four years and never gave themselves a raise.
Which is shocking, isn't it?
Yes.
In fairness, in fairness, if people are, how much do they make?
They make the annual salary, base salary for legislative,
legislative members is 121 grant.
And that's if they aren't doing any actual responsibilities like cabinet positions.
Yeah.
So.
Like 10 years is a long time to go without a raise.
But at the same time, I've basically gone 10 years without a raise.
And I feel like there's a lot of people around here that have done the same thing.
And 121 grand plus all the benefits that come with it ain't a bad wage there twos.
All the things I was always told was that politicians don't make that good of money.
I'm like, well, and a lot of certain are not paying out of pocket for anything.
Correct.
And 121 grand isn't a terrible salary by most.
standards.
Yeah.
And so you're like,
yeah,
okay,
you haven't given yourself a raise in 10 years.
And it's only 121 grand.
And I get the fact that people like Shane,
for example,
took a big pay cut to get into politics.
Right.
And so,
but at the same time,
this plays a lot better.
You don't have any shortage of people wanting to get involved.
And this plays a lot better if you'd be like,
yeah,
And the NDP's speaking out against it, but not enough that they're going to turn down.
Yes.
Show the Elizabeth.
No, I want you to play this entire thing.
I don't want to.
You don't want to.
Why not?
She's literally a drunk idiot, Sean.
No, I say we add fuel this fire.
And, uh, okay, I'd like to apologize for the next minute.
If you're listening to this, I strongly recommend that you skip out on the next minute.
Just hit the 15 second forward button four times.
And if you're watching this live, I'm got to.
I tell you what, we're the only podcast
is going to tell you to skip.
You think we want to be the 51st state?
Yeah, but maybe California would like to be the 11th province.
How about it?
California, Oregon, Washington,
you've got geography in commonwealths.
And now like that, we've already got a carbon trading system
between California and Quebec.
We've got some strong alliances on our west coast from British Columbia.
there's been a lot of academic papers.
This lady.
So California.
This is the state of politics in Canada right now.
Washington State, Jay Inslee, and newly elected.
I'm just going to call it right here.
So this drunk idiot bitch, who by the way is American,
you have an American serving as a member of parliament who's actively campaigning
to merge the fucking countries together.
And we're not talking about foreign.
She wants to threaten Donald Trump by taking California, Washington.
in Oregon. That's what she wants to threaten.
How is that a bad thing?
You couldn't give a way.
What are we going to trade for, what are we going to trade
for California, Oregon?
We literally sat on here to us.
We literally sat on here twos and you're like, you know,
if Alberta became the 51st state, what would they trade?
And Americans are like, well, we trade Canada,
all the West Coast.
And you're like, Elizabeth May is making
the case for them, right?
She's like, yeah, we'll gladly take those three states.
this if she was to write a book about this
and this whole Donald Trump thing
she would call it the art of the shitty deal
this is goddamn embarrassing
no wonder this idiot
is projected to lose her seat
she's going to announce that she's going to spend more time
with her family too by the way
BC Winery find $118,000
and permanently banned from temporary
foreign worker program they actually
signed up under the temporary foreign worker program
a shell like, not a shell like an umbrella company,
but just a fake fucking company with the same address as the vineyard
so that when that got shut down,
because they knew they were going through a bunch of bullshit,
that it wouldn't solely the name of the actual vineyard.
Okay.
And they are the second of only two companies ever
since the temporary worker program has been instituted
to be kicked out of it.
Kevin.
Elizabeth May calls for Diagalon.
We got the greatest audience in the world.
You guys are sharp.
They absolutely do.
Oh, my goodness.
Hey, what you want about Justin Trudeau.
There's still no arguing.
Canadians have become wealthier while he was in power.
No, we fucking haven't.
Everything got more expensive.
That doesn't mean we actually gained any wealth, okay?
Oh, man.
If you're saying that Canada has become wealthier
through record deficit spending,
off the charts fucking inflation,
flagrant government hires,
and fucking preferential treatment
to weed charities and S&C. Lavlin,
that's like saying you've got giant tits
because you got vaccinated.
Oh.
And here's actually,
Adam Zivo broke down exactly where all that.
He did.
He did.
Yes.
Here's another one from here.
Oh, man.
This is a piece.
We have safer supply fentanyl to minors and parents don't have a stay.
If you're a minor, you can't buy a pack of smokes, but you can get addicted to fucking fentanyl.
We need to bring back children smoking.
We need to be more like fucking Quebec.
McDonald's is rolling back diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Taxpayers are angry, concludes in-house revenue Canada focus group research, finds Canadians feel gouged by a greedy
and wasteful government.
Did you really have to pay to have that
fucking study done?
You fucking assholes.
Some co-vindication.
Yeah, right here.
This is Ottawa Detective Facing Disciplinary Action
related to investing in infant deaths
is taking Canada State Broadcaster to court.
That's Detective Helen Gross,
who finished testifying before long-running
disciplinary tribunal Monday,
suing the CBC for 875 grand.
I hope you get a fucking penny.
Yeah.
before, I hope it happens before they get defunded.
And the other one in Co-Vindication is Alberta
Policeman Discipline for Speaking at Freedom Convoy Rally
has suspension overturned.
Punishment was quote,
not justifiable,
says judge.
So yeah,
there you go.
You know what I love?
Everybody gives me a rough time of how I pronounce stuff.
Justifiable.
I'd like I drew that one out,
twos.
Ah, man.
Here you go.
this is a cool story.
This is that,
you,
you skipped right to happy news.
No,
no,
no,
no,
no,
that, yeah.
So let's,
let's go through.
You want to go through these.
Okay,
okay.
Okay.
Okay.
The Google,
no,
anyway,
um,
let's see here.
Karen,
Kahn Bass telling where to get info and help.
This is,
uh,
with forest fires.
All this can be found quoted on at U.R.
you can't read the teleprompter.
Who put that on a telepropter?
Okay.
Apparently I got it in there twice.
And then here's the thing with these California fires is it's the same stuff that people
have been talking about in Jasper for years, except California is doing it too.
Yes.
Literally that's my thought too.
I know there's a lot of different thoughts on, you know, what actually is going on there,
but part of it reeks of Jasper, right?
They're not doing anything.
with their force.
And so now a forest fire started.
And you got a bunch of, you know, go back to Liam Parfit and all the guys who came on to talk about what happened with Jasper.
And now you look at California and the same thing is playing out.
And I just, as much as it sucks, I do appreciate the fact on some level that they voted for this and now they're getting it.
they wanted they wanted to have these people in charge
and the implication of it is that situations like this happen
lips of tith talk says don't you hate it when climate change appoints a
DEI hire to run the fire department gives away fire equipment to Ukraine
stops critical controlled burns defunds the fire department
refuses to build more water reservoirs and store water
cancels fire insurance mismanages forest and brush
and fires firefighters for refusing an experimental vaccine
like what did you think was going to happen
Iran is speaking out in solidarity with Canada about the proposition of being annexed.
Iran is prepared to assist Canada, Mexico, Panama, Greenland against U.S. aggression and terrorism.
Iran is saying this.
I love this.
So when people were talking about the whole DEI stuff going on in Los Angeles Fire Department,
this lady who's a journalist says,
You are a miserable fuck.
and then Riley Gaines
God, what a woman, jumps in and says,
where's the lie though? And she shows an article
It says, Firefighting is mostly white
and male. A California program aims
to change that.
Ah, shit.
It's not showing up now.
But Max Fawcett wrote this
horrible fucking article for the National
Observer about how
how Justin Trudeau
has done more for the
the oil and gas sector than any other prime minister in decades.
And he got fucking whammed on Twitter for it.
Oil tanker moratorium, impact assessment act,
greenwashing bill, emissions cap, clean fuel registration or regulations,
EV mandate, rejection of Northern Gateway, Saginae LNG and Nova Scotia officer drilling,
death by a thousand cuts of energy east and tech frontier,
tripling costs of trans Mountain pipeline, carbon tax, methane regulations.
I would also say the fact that the only way that the pipeline could get built in this country is if the government bought it.
And then also there's no business case for natural gas.
Max Fawcett, before you skip over there, I don't know if you read it though.
He wrote one of the deepest ironies is that he, did you read that?
And one of the deepest ironies was that he gave the oil and gas sector a boogeyman.
He's been the best prime minister for the energy sector in basically ever.
That's what Max Fawcett said about Justin Trudeau.
Anyways, that's Max Fawc getting way too much time on this side of things.
Why do we want to defund the legacy media, Sean, when they spit out shit like this?
One of the other interesting things that happened is that now all of a sudden with this whole Trump's going to annex Canada is that everybody's pro gun.
No guns in Canada retweeted, I'd sooner take up arms and die fighting for Canada than become part of the
the United States.
I'm freaking serious.
And then somebody else
pointed out that they tweeted,
no guns in Canada.
A Twitter account called
No Guns in Canada.
Understand that for a second.
When faced with the prospect
of the coming part of the United States
tweeted, and I'm serious,
how fast can Canada get nukes?
No guns in Canada
wants to become a nuclear superpower.
You can't make this stuff.
up. This is why we bring it on the show to's
to try and make sense of things that cannot
be made sense of.
I don't know if you watch this video, Sean, or not.
Yes, I did. The Ohio guy says he's
tired of cars crashing into his house. Come
experience his personal nightmare.
So there used to be a guardrail
up in front of his house, and
the city took the guardrail down,
and now, on a regular basis,
cars crash into his house.
Correct. And the city put up a couple
giant rocks, but people don't always
hit the rocks. Sometimes they go around the rocks.
Multiple people have hit the rocks, and his insurance is through the roof,
and they said, well, if this happens again, we won't be able to insure you.
And it's really simple.
All they have to do is put back the guardrail.
For people watching, for people watching, just a second,
for people watching the live stream or watching after this is put out, listening,
or yeah, sorry, listening, sorry, or watching for that matter.
It's the house at the top of the screen, right?
So it's a, the people are driving through the stop sign and like,
Raid into his house.
It's the intersection and people blow through it sometimes.
Like when a high speed chase literally ended in his fucking living room,
a 74 mile an hour car ran into his goddamn house.
And all the town has to do is just put the barricade back up.
That's all he's looking for.
Just put up the barricade.
Oh, man.
And then we go on to, they, they blocked my calls.
this Ohio man actually bought an entire street for $5,000.
Now the city wants it back.
And they only want to give him enough money.
So he bought a house and then realized afterwards that he bought the entire street.
And they're like, okay, well, we want it back and we're just going to pay you back for the house.
Yeah, we screwed up the first time.
But we're just going to pay you along the same lines of how you bought it.
And he's like, no, no, no, no.
You got to pay for the whole damn street, motherfuckers.
And we know how Toos loves a good headline.
So here's here's a New York Times headline.
Meta says fact checkers were the problem.
Fact checkers rule that false.
Yes, that actually had the head of Babylon B saying,
whoever wrote this headline, we will give you a job.
And he was complaining on Twitter.
He's like, how the hell did the New York Times beat us to this headline?
So basically what's happening now is because Harris lost the election.
Facebook is now going to go to community.
notes.
Tell me if any of this sounds familiar.
They're getting rid of the fact checkers who get everything wrong,
and they're going to go towards community notes.
That's good news.
It's good news.
It is good news.
It's just,
it's funny because the people who are like,
oh, yeah,
I don't like Twitter because it's not a safe place for people who want to spell bullshit.
Well,
guess what?
None of them are going to be like that anymore.
He's literally,
Musk has literally upended the entire business model.
Because you have to look at that and say that the only reason why they're doing
this is because Twitter has been eating their
lunch. There was
a trans dude, chick, whatever,
it doesn't matter, has a penis,
pretends she doesn't, he doesn't, however
you want to put it, was bragging about
finding a loophole and getting
the driver's license
with the wrong gender on it.
Does a TikTok video
about it. And then
the government thanks. And then the
DMEs says thanks for pointing out this error.
We'll close it up. You a new driver's
license correcting the mistake.
there's the Ohio man the fact checkers and here's the happy news here's the happy news yep other happy
news show the video so this is this is uh Ozzie wiseblatt throwing a puck to his uh his hero
his mom kim who is deaf and uh like i want to rewind the clock here in alberta people remember
may remember a kid named ocean wiseblatt being on a frozen ice surface a pond during COVID and getting arrested
this is his brother and his mom.
I don't know if you knew that too, so I assume you did.
Ocean Wiseblatt, the guy who was just skating around
while the ineffectual police was trying to tackle him
and take him down and he's just ducking and bobbing
and they're looking like a bunch of idiots because he had the audacity.
He didn't care about Grandma's life.
And so he went skating outside.
And then they dug around.
Remember they dump sand and like stones on the ice so kids wouldn't be able to skate.
What a wild story.
Kim worked multiple jobs.
It says to raise Ozzy and his four siblings, giving everything to support their dreams.
And last night, as a family, as a family, they got to celebrate making that dream a reality.
That was, yeah, good for them.
Pretty cool, pretty cool story.
I don't know if anybody's had as much fun on 140 as I have.
I think this has been just a, this has been a great, a great episode.
Everybody, thanks for tuning in.
We got community notes.
I suppose we got to do community notes.
Oh, we didn't even ask.
Anybody, community notes out there.
Hit them real fast.
Hit them real fast, folks.
May 10th, the Cornerstone Forum is going to be in Calgary, Alberta.

A whole bunch of people are going to be in attendance.
And we would love to see you there.
That's going to be a fun event.
Yeah, Michelle Krueger says we're both on top form today.
I didn't do anything.
I literally sat back and maybe that is me being on top form.
Sean, just shut up.
Okay, fine.
I mean, if it works, I don't know.
I found, I mean, it was tricky because I wanted, like, I had a few things I wanted to say.
But when you got an All-Star lineup, you're just like, you're just letting them go, letting them go, letting them go.
And then you're like, okay, I'm going to jump in here.
Sword and Thistle Highland Dance annual Robbie Burns in January 25th in Vermillion,
Roast Beef Supper, followed by Highland Dancing, must purchase tickets in advance, tickets available at Irma Co-op.
and fantasy flowers in Vermillion.
That's Trissa Rue.
So there you go.
And then Joe Mamas is one of the best episodes of mashup ever.
I mean, it was mostly other people.
So I don't know what that says about us.
And Zane chimed in way cool for the Oceans family.
I agree.
That is a super cool story.
And we appreciate you all hopping in here this morning.
And yeah, no kidding, Zane, right?
Trish Roo, this looks well worth the road trip.
Thanks for all hopping on.
Two's any other final thoughts on 140 other than it being a ton of fun this morning.
I mean, that's it.
Yeah.
Thanks everybody for coming on.
Yeah.
And we're back here next week, 10 a.m.
same time, same place.
10 a.m.
as I learned through Jim this morning, Alberta time, Mountain Standard.
And just for a reminder that whenever this, like obviously in March,
when this election gets announced.
One of the things we do here on the mashup
was we're going to do live election coverage
and you best believe
we're going to have a live election coverage
to be remembered
when it gets announced
and on the day that it happens.
So make sure to tune in then
and mark that in your calendars.
That's going to do it for us folks.
We're going to slide out of here
and we'll catch up to you guys next week.
Tews.
See you later, buddy.
Tell me whether I'm wrong or right.
East or west, up or down side to side, I sit to stand and fall to fly.
Of all of my impulsive plans, pop and locking salsa dances on demand, I follow leading off the map,
and stop the chatter, scream happily.
Welcome to the mashup.
Welcome to the mashup.
Welcome to the mashup.
Welcome to the mashup.
Welcome to the mashup.
Welcome to the mashup.
