Welcome to the MASHO Tell me whether I'm wrong or right Easter west up or down side to side I sit to stand if all to fly I've all of my impulsive plans Popping lock and salsa dances on demand I've been having this interesting little repetitive interaction

on Twitter lately where whenever I'm talking about the East West divide in Canada I talk about Ontario in fucking Quebec as being part of Eastern Canada and then people like Well, it's not Eastern. It's central.

And I've said, well, have you ever looked at a map of Canada? It's not in the middle at all. And they're like, oh, well, that's, you know, Eastern Canada is the Maritimes. Here, I got something interesting to show you guys. This is from the infallible government of Canada. Time zones and daylight savings time. And if you go to them and you look, here's the time zones. We've got Pacific.

Mountain Central, which is Saskatchewan and Manitoba and a little sliver of Ontario. And Eastern standard time is Ontario and fucking Quebec. So the next time someone's like, well, Ontario and fucking Quebec are part of Eastern Canada, the government disagrees with you. Checkmate. Welcome to Mashup 143. I want to get this note out. If you were looking for it on YouTube, my interview at the start of the week got removed again from there.

So I'm not there. And I was pissed off and I completely forgot to sign in to Rumble and get that set up. So if you're looking on either of the platforms, sorry, Rumble, you got lumped in with YouTube because that really annoyed me. So we're on X where all your free conversation, they don't seem to want to remove me for any of those. They might shadow BAM me for a few, but certainly they're not removing the entire bloody channel again. Thank you, YouTube and everything else. it is on the mashups YouTube channel because obviously I don't post all of my interviews there. And you know what got it to is Scott Marzlin talking about chloride chlorine dioxide.

That's what it was. You can't say that. I know. I know. I know. I know. Unbelievable. Well, we got a busy show today.

We got lots going on. We got two guests sitting in here. We got more coming soon. Do you want to do Kootz 6.5 real fast? Might as well. Yes. Let's do that. Okay.

So Kootz six and a half. Christopher and Carbert and Anthony Olenick, of course, we're talking about guys put in jail here in Alberta for six and a half years. And here's this man who sexually assaulted four strangers in Vancouver's downtown core has been given a conditional discharge.

Sorry, women. Fraising. So, go jail time for serial groper. At first glance, you might assume that this article is about the prime minister, but it's actually about Hussein al-Shamey

a serial groper who attacked four women near BC Place in Rogers Arena and he pled guilty to one count of sexual assault and basically the court said that as long as you don't grope any other women for the next 30 days everything's okay. That's right.

Now obviously he doesn't have a misses because you know if I had to go 30 days without grabbing Mrs. 2's butt when she was making dinner in the kitchen or something like that. I don't know. I'd just be in jail as long as the Cootsk Boys. Happy Airborne Friday, Jamie Sinclair, the military boys.

And we're going to get ready to it. We're talking here right off the hop of the show about Dr. Gary Davidson's Alberta COVID-19 pandemic data review from the Task Force at their final report. And we got two guests with us. I think most people, I don't know the first petroleum engineer, he's now a giant political commentator. we're talking Martin Belanger, aka Marty up north, and then also constitutional lawyer, Jeff Rath.

So, boys, thanks for hopping in with us this morning to discuss the report. I'm curious, your thoughts on what has been... First off, before we get too far, I'm with Tuesday, I'm from Alberta. So as far as I'm concerned, if you're even in Saskatchewan, you're in eastern Canada.

That's just me, but... Let's not be racist here, Marty. I hate to say this, guys. I live in Foothills, Alberta. and myself and guys like Gary Davidson and other ranchers and farmers in Alberta, a lot of us take the position if you live on the east side of highway two, you're an insurer. There you go. You want to do with that.

What did you guys think of Dr. Gary Davidson's report? Yeah, I'm just curious. You know, it got released last Friday after we did the show. It was supposed to be 11 o'clock. I thought maybe we'd be able to comment on it live. then it got backed right off until 3 p.m., kind of with no fanfare, et cetera, et cetera. That's been pointed out. There was lots of great things in the document.

I'll start with Jeff. What did you think of the report? I think, you know, I'm an advocate, you know, for people that have been vaccine injured and that have had their businesses shut down during COVID. I thought the report didn't obviously go as far as I wanted it to go, but I thought it was a very fair objective and even-handed, look at everything that went wrong start to finish. And for anybody that wants to understand how it was that, you know,

our society degenerated into the form of tyranny that it did, read the chapter in that report on all of the misfeasance and corruption by the College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Colleges of Pharmacy. And that'll tell you everything you need to know about what went wrong. You know, and then that being said generally, and I hope we can talk about it in some detail. There's some, I'll just go real high level bombshells in that report that are, that come out of some of the most respective medical journals in the world. First of all, a JAMA cardiology article that came out in 2022 that definitively, 23 million person surveillance study that definitively proved that Dina Hinshaw was completely negligent when she told people to mix the vaccines because of a 3,600 percent increase. increased risk of contracting myocarditis if you mix Pfizer and

Moderna. The other huge takeaway, and again, out of Pfizer's own data, they cite the fact that in the Pfizer trials, there were only 38 or 32 pregnancies that Pfizer tracked after giving women having the vaccine. And out of 32 pregnant women who got the vaccine in the in the trials, only one baby out of 32 was born as a normal birth and that 31 out of 32 pregnancies ended in miscarriage or spontaneous abortion. So all this stuff about telling pregnant women that vaccines were safe and effective. I think what Dina was really saying was that the vaccines are safe as an abortion drug

and more effective than the morning after pill because I googled the other day, the morning after pill is 94 to 96% effective. And if you do the math on 31 over 32, it's, it's a lot of, you It's the Pfizer drug was 96.875% effective as an abortion drug. So let that sink in. And that's not this information. That's Pfizer's data. That's exactly what happened with Paiagra. Oh, go ahead.

Right. And then I'll turn it over to, I'll turn it over to Marty. But then the last point that I want people to focus on is that they reference a Lancet study where they follow kids that were sub-accused. from myocarditis. So they weren't experienced any irreval symptoms, but they at that point yet, but had both the shots.

And they found in this study that over 52% of the kids that they studied in that shot that had gotten the shot, fully 52% of them actually had myocarditis. Of that group, 32% of them, the myocarditis was so severe

that once it was diagnosed, they couldn't return to normal levels of physical activity, and fully 26% of them were on continuing cardiac medications as much as 90 days after the shot. So Lancet completely proves everything that McCullough was saying about the drugs being cardio-toxic and that they literally were destroying the hearts of children in Alberta and Canada when they knew full well from table 14 of the Pfizer-EUA that the drugs were cardiotoxic

and that Pfizer, while they would notionally admit to one single potential COVID death per million, Pfizer admitted in its early studies that they were going to put a minimum of 34 children per million into the ICU, not just hospital, ICU with myocarditis. Any pediatric, you know, ICU specialist will tell you, you put 36 kids with myocarditis that have severe, myocarditis severe enough to go on a ventilator, probably at least six of them are going to die. And then, of course, you get to the end of that table, which I say was fraudulent, Pfizer said projected deaths from the COVID-F Pfizer vaccine in children, zero. But their own data completely denied it and their own data prior to these vaccines being approved,

prove that these vaccines are going to kill more kids than COVID. And unfortunately, that's what we're seeing now. So I'll let all of that think sink in. And that's why everybody in the medical community that was guilty of dosing, these kids are jumping up and down and trying to discredit this report because they're all guilty. Marty. Yeah. Yeah, no, that's a lot.

You know, to your original question, yeah, I was waiting for the report to come out. I knew that the report was going to come out. Danielle, I talked about it, but me specifically, Danielle spoke to me in 2021, 2022 about this report. before she became a leader of the party. As you guys know, I was following COVID. So she was interested in one of the stories I talked about one day. And she talked to me. And then she was, you know, thinking about running for the leadership.

And she said, like, should we do an inquiry like this? And I told her, I said, it won't be popular because you're going to uncover some wrongdoings and some malfeasance from your own party. And I said, but the way you do it is do it as a, do it all. almost like she did here. I suggested to her do an inquiry as a post-incident review, like in the military and the police forces and engineering, we do this. After an incident, we review to see what went well and what went wrong, right? So I suggested it.

Anyways, when the report came out on Friday, I'm going to say I could have written 60% of this report, just based on my tweets and my stories of the last year. So there's nothing new in there. And the other 40% is what I wanted to see, right? And the report says it right off the bat that people at AHS and other places were still not transparent, still digging their heels in. And so do I know that the government mismanaged or organizations mismanaged? Absolutely. But I still want more proof.

So that's my first reaction is it's missing. It's not in there. Like the real meat is still not in there. Because we have this report. Yeah, yeah, go ahead. Oh, no, just to jump in on that point. That's why there needs to be a public inquiry. And that's why the report says over and over and over again,

there has to be a public inquiry with subpoena powers because all of these bureaucrats were continually playing hide the ball on the Davidson Task Force, refusing to cooperate, hiding data, refusing to provide data on the basis of patient confidentiality. But everybody needs to intern. that Gary Davidson's task force wasn't some independent group of citizens outside of the government. This was done, this report is an Alberta government report done under the auspices of the Alberta Healthcare Quality Assurance Council.

So it's a government report issued by a government agency whose role in the context of health care is to serve like an auditor general reviewing, you know, reviewing government action. This is a government report. So, you know, and I know the media try to mischaracterize this report as a UCP report or a this or that or a Gary Davidson report. This is a government report. And everybody needs to understand that the government watchdog is reporting on itself saying that there are a bunch of bureaucrats dug in in the government who are literally hiding data from the task force and using excuses like, oh, we can't do that because if we tell you, you know,

how many people have died in this context. You know, we'd be, you know, perhaps unmasking patient confidentiality, blah, blah, blah, you know,

all these bullshit excuses, excuse my language for, you know, for playing hide the ball on the task force. And keep in mind, I mean, we live in a province.

You want to talk about patient confidentiality. I have my personal medical file rated by the college so that the college could determine whether my doctor had, without my consent, or whether the college had no consent,

to determine whether my doctor had ever given me a mask or, vaccine exemption. So all this stuff about so-called caring about patient confidentiality, you know, I take with a huge grain assault from any of the bureaucrats that were hiding behind that one. Okay. Now here you brought up something interesting and that's the pushback that we've gotten

from places like the NDP who are known for being completely unbiased and not just blanket taking AHS aside on everything and not blowing things out of proportion. And, you know, other guys like Timothy Caulfield, an absolute paragon of honesty. of honesty in the medical community. And so they've pushed back a little bit. What do you, have you guys seen the detractors who've been speaking out against this report and what they've said and what you had to say or what you would say and reply to their criticisms? The primary detractors are the ones, the primary detractors are the ones who are sort of singled out in a report as having,

either been negligent or, or otherwise. It's the College of Surgeons and Doctors. It's the Alberta Medical Association. It's Luane Metz, who's, you know, she was doing a COVID study, an HCQ study at the UFC, and then she got shut down, and there's mysterious circumstances under that, but then she became an NDP MLA. So, you know, the people, the people, I would broadly say that the people that are most,

the post of this one or the ones who are guilty of something. Okay, but what about their criticism? Oh, well, their criticism is that it's... Yeah, yeah, go ahead, Jeff. No, that's what I'd like to address. I mean, their criticisms are that the entire report is misinformation and anti-science, anti-evidence. I would like, you know, some of these people, including Dr. John Connolly, who had his name

taken off the report because he didn't agree with the recommendations, to explain. explain to us what it is that they think that JAMA cardiology did in publishing a 23 million person surveillance report demonstrating a 3,600% increase in myocarditis risk if you've mixed the vaccines. What about that constituted misinformation and what are they going to do about JAMA cardiology being dangerous misinformationists? I mean, that's the issue. Nobody is actually, well, nobody will actually ever respond and tell you what specific data point referenced in that study constitutes misinformation. The simple fact of the matter, are they saying that the Pfizer vaccine trial data is

misinformation? Because if that's the case, we have an entirely new problem. Yeah, no, yeah. Yeah, like, like, you know, what I think we're both saying sort of the same thing. The report and the whole, the whole debate about COVID right now is he said, she said. That's what's happening right now. So the detractors, they're saying you're being unscientific. or you're using the wrong evidence.

And that's where either a formal, I don't know, royal commission or an inquiry with teeth. Like, you know, the president of the Alberta Medical Association yesterday on Twitter was basically saying this is garbage. We're like, okay, fine, what part don't you like? And then they don't tell us. And that's where I would love that inquiry. You know, in front of a judge, you bring your evidence,

I bring my evidence, and let's have somebody else decide who's telling the truth in this whole thing because right now we're not we're not getting to that's what's missing for me we're not getting to that's exactly it right and I want to see them say well this is Jim Acosta saying this as their evidence I want to see them propping up

well no but that that's the whole point like they will not specifically address the Lancet article that found that 50% of children that have the Pfizer shot hadn't yet had medically measurable levels of myocarditis, you know, using valid medical testing methods. They won't address

the 3,600% increase in COVID, in myocarditis risk for people that miss the shots. And they sure as hell don't want to dig into how many miscarriages were we having in Alberta pre-vaccine and post-vaccine? Because once those numbers hit the table, every poor woman that was carrying a baby during COVID that was told by Dina Hinshaw to go out and get the shot and ended up killing her baby, right? Those women are going to be up in arms. So, you know, that's what we need to dig into, but that's what these people won't address. Oh, that's all misinformation and disinformation.

Oh, really, Pfizer was lying about its data during its EUA, you know, EUA. Oh, really, Lancet is lying about the study that they did that showed a 50% of myocarditis rate in children that were vaccinated. Oh, really? Jamma cardiology's lying? If I may, just so I want to be clear here, with a couple minutes remaining before we let Franco in and thank you too for hopping on and talk about this, doesn't an inquiry pull all those people in and they can't say, no, I'm not coming to talk?

They have to come talk, correct? That's the whole point. They all need to be drug out from underneath their deaths by their ear and hauled in front of a judge under oath and be forced to answer these questions. Because just quickly, I know you've got to move on another one. But another thing that needs to be examined is if you got this strong additional myocarditis risk from people mixing the vaccines, what about the people that were told that it was

safe to get the vaccines after they were already COVID recovered and had natural antibodies? I've talked to a number of biologists who think that all of this long COVID we're seeing is really people that were COVID recovered, got the vaccines, and now their natural antibodies or a continual war with the fake spike proteins in their bodies that have destroyed their health. So all of those things need to be looked at. Yeah, that's chapter 7 in the report. I love the way they label that one. Yeah, it's like we remember early in the pandemic, we all talked about,

or the experts talked about herd immunity. And then that disappeared, right? We stopped talking about it. That's addressed in the report, like, what they call it infection acquired immunity. It's like, okay, interesting. But yeah, the report addresses all sorts of great points like that. Like things that, uh, things that to me are irrefutable. Like, you know, I, I think we, yeah, go ahead.

I think we can all agree if you're watching this and haven't read the report, you really should. Like, you should do yourself the favor, square away some time. If you're not a big reader, take, take a week, you know, 10 days and just slowly pick it apart. But like, the thing is, it's, it's, it's, I don't think it taught me anything crazily new, because we've been talking about this for so long. But it does put it in, uh, government report. it gives it some legitimacy, even if all the main actors won't, they come and attack it. It's like, are we surprised the media attacked it?

No. Are we surprised that Tim Cofield came and attacked it? No, we're not surprised at any of this. This is the same story for the last. Yeah. One chapter of the report for me that was stuff that I did not know from before is how the regulatory bodies were incompetent or negligent. Yeah, and corrupt. I mean, that part, you know, those bodies, like the College of Surgeons and the Alberta Medical Association, like, they're like, they're very tight knit and they're, they don't want to come out, right?

They don't want to, they don't want to be probed. They don't want to be subpoena. That's, that's, that's the group of all the people that I would like to see. That's one group I'd like to be to see get subpoenaed generally and have to come and explain what they did. Jens, I just have one quick, one quick, one quick, sure, Jeff, one last thought. Okay. Okay. This report should be made required reading for every doctor and pharmacist in the province of Alberta so that they can fully internalize what they did to our families and our children. It's just disgusting. Yeah. So thank you. Last thing. I was in court with Jeff on Tuesday and he had the report. It's this thick, right?

To be clear, I thought that Marty was in court. Marty was attending court. Attending court. And then Jeff tried to give a court. Right. And I wasn't, I haven't been charged. And I haven't been charged with anything yet either. No, but I wanted it. I'm coffee. The coffee. Thanks for hopping in, Marty. Thanks for hopping in, Jeff.

We appreciate your thoughts on this and giving us some time this morning. Thank you, gentlemen, guys. All right, thank you guys. We certainly appreciate what you do. Over and up. You know, I told Tuesday this is going to be fast and action-packed because we've got multiple guests coming on today, folks. There's a lot going on in Canada.

We got up next, Franco Tarazano, the Federal. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. We're going to talk a little bit about taking the CRA to court to stop this illegal tax gains. So, Franco, thanks for hopping in. Thanks for coming back. Hey, Jen. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, my pleasure, guys. And we got some big breaking news that just happened. Did you see that? No. No, we're going to allow you to just break it on the show. Yeah. Well, the finance minister just came out and said that the government is backing down from this illegal capital gains tax hike.

Okay. Does that mean revenue Canada is going to back down or are they going to say? Yep. Okay. Yep. So they're not enforcing the capital gains tax hike. Now what what is going on is that they're backing down. Really, they're delaying the capital gains tax increase to next year, right, to after the next election. But like, look, two things come to mind.

Yeah. Well, for sure. I mean, like two things come to mind. Number one, a big win for Canadians, right? And this all happened from Canadians pressuring the government saying, you know what, enough is enough. This capital gains tax hike really was a financial sucker punch to anyone who worked hard to invest in properties, create a business or save for their own retirement. But even beyond that, and I can get into our court challenge because we're going to keep going forward with it. But what the government was doing with this was illegal, like just plain and simple.

Now what's happening is the government realized they were going to lose. the government realized the pushback they're getting from Canadians. And now the government is backing down from this capital gains tax hike. So instead of you having to pay it during tax season this year, the government is going to delay it until next year. And let me just tell you folks, I'll make a promise to you. We're going to keep fighting this thing until it's completely scrapped. Excellent.

Well done. Well done. That's a big win. It's huge. No, it really is. It really is. Exactly it. Like, you're just, you know, I'm just a little bit dumbbound.

Right where I'm like, well, I'm just looking at this play out. And I'm like, okay, well, Revenue Canada is saying we don't really care what the laws are. We're going to do what we want, which sounds exactly like what I've come to expect from Canadian bureaucracy. And the liberals are like, oh, we don't want to touch this hot potato because it's a contentious issue, which is exactly what I've come to expect from Canadian politicians. And then all of a sudden, out of the blue, we've got. oh, actually, we've seen the light. We're going to embrace common sense and actually follow the rule of the law. And it's not at all what I was expecting from Ottawa.

No offense, Franco. Hey, man, no, I'm right there with you. Like, I'm here in Mordor right now, you know what I mean? So, like, I get it. Like, it's not every day that the good guy wins one. You know what I mean? And this was a big win for Canadians. And it was, you know, I don't even know if it's them seeing the light.

We're Canadians forcing them to back off. You know what I'm saying? Now, let me kind of go into the details of our legal challenge. And we're going to keep fighting it because we're here to set a precedent. No taxation without representation. You can't illegally take billions of dollars from Canadians through unelected bureaucrats. Okay. So as I mentioned, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, we're taking the CRA to court for enforcing

this undemocratic and illegal capital gains tax hike. And I mentioned no taxation without representation. You know, that's not just an important principle or a catchy slogan. That's enshrined in the Constitution of Canada. So not just a U.S. slogan. That is enshrined in the Constitution of Canada. It's Parliament's job to approve tax increases. But the government failed to introduce the legislation,

debate the legislation, pass the legislation, or proclaim the legislation into law. And yet you still have these CRA, on elected bureaucrats enforcing this tax hike, taking billions from Canadians. And let me just add one more thing in here. This mess was all of the government's own creation. Okay. The liberals back in the 2021 election, they never ran on a capital gains tax hike.

Then they chose to remove the capital gains tax hike from the budget bill. Then they chose to prerog parliament until March 24th. Well, March 24th would have been almost a full year since the capital gains tax height was first announced. And legislation hadn't even been introduced into parliament. Yeah. You know, like, I mean, A, this is great news. But to them, like, do we really think that they're actually doing something that, you know, oh, the good guy wants? Or do they, they're in the middle of trying to, they realize they're going into an election year.

and they're like, well, we better just back off this one for the time being. Like, I don't get the sense that they're like, oh, we want you to have a bit more money, folks. That doesn't, that doesn't sit well with me on this side. I'm with you there. I feel like it's not as though, oh, hey, we realized we were wrong. It's the politicians realized, oh, wait, this isn't going to look good for us. And Revenue Canada said, oh, wait a second here. There's probably going to be a change of government fairly soon.

and as a giant agglomerate of bureaucrats, maybe we don't want to go poke in the bear too much leading up to that. You know, I don't disagree with anything you guys said. But like, look, man, like, as Canadians who just feel like the government's gotten way too big, right? Like that side that we're on, like this government is crazy out of control. Like, let's not forget that it's okay to win one. Yeah, fair enough. You know what I mean?

Like I understand over the last couple years, man, it feels like we just, been taking it on the chin from every angle. Today's a victory. It's not a full victory because they're delaying it. But what this means, okay, like what this means, let's think about it how it impacts people. What this means is that the government will not illegally take billions of dollars from Canadians this year.

Okay. So imagine the family who sold their second property who are going to use that money to fund their golden years. They will be able to keep that money, right? Imagine the small business owner who is, going to rely on the sell of their corporation to fund the rest of their lives. They're going to be able to keep that money, right? We're now, at least as of now, we're not going to punish that young smart Canadian graduate

who wants to start the next Google to leave Canada and set up their business somewhere else. So I totally get what you guys are saying. I feel it too. I feel like my head's been bruised fighting these guys. But like today is a good day. The fight is not over, but today is a good day for taxpayers. I 100% agree. Right. And you know what? Now that you bring it up, there's been a lot of other

wins in this area. Like you see what, you know, Trump just did the offer to pay out six a six month salary to everybody in the U.S. I get the fact that the Canadian taxpayer federation doesn't really advocate in the states, or at least I don't think they do. We do not. But, you know, you've got that doge shoring up leases on a few thousand government buildings. But even in Canada, we had Stephen Harper since he took over AIMCO laid off 19 people that had absolutely nothing to do with investment roles. AIMCO with over 600 employees in a half dozen countries around the world. And yeah, it's only 19 out of 600. But it's funny that an investment company has that many roles, and that's probably not even all of them,

that have absolutely nothing to do with what their job is. Guys, if you would have told me three months ago, four months ago, five months ago, that the government, on the same day, the liberal government was going to backtrack on his capital gains tax hike and liberal leadership frontrunners are trying to out-compete each other on telling Canadians they're against the carbon tax. I would have said you're out to lunch. Well, I mean, it's really just kind of a big shame when you think about it. I mean, the carbon tax puts more money in the pockets of eight out of ten Canadians. Don't drink.

You're drinking the Kool-Aid. Why are the liberals speaking out against this? Why do they want to take money out of our pockets? Well, I mean, we all know that's, uh, I don't want to, you know, get canceled on air here, but we all know that's full of something. Um, like, look, uh, but like, let's like, you know, as I said earlier, man, like, we've been taking it on the chin from big bossy, greedy government pushing us around with one tax after another. And look, the fight is not over.

Like, I'm not going to stand here and be like, oh, you know, rainbows and lollipops kind of thing. But like I do think there comes a time where people have to stand back and say, man, like my advocacy, my speaking out, doing what you guys are doing, it's working. Right. Like one of the things that the other, one of the tactics at the other side tries to dissuade the lower tax, taxpayer side from doing is tries to discourage them, right? Like, oh, things are so bleak.

you have no hope, you have no power. Well, you only lose if you actually give up and leave the game. So what I'm saying is like just kudos to you guys, your audience, you know, a whole bunch of people who have been working very hard for a very long time to push back against these taxpayer funded desk rulers over here in Ottawa. You know, just kudos to everyone. Like the game is not over. We got to keep fighting.

But let's take a step back here and recognize a couple victories that we're getting. I think our audience knows how highly we think of Chris Sims and the work she does. Franco, you're right alongside her. And I think I can safely say from our audience, we think very highly of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and the work that you continue to do. I just have one question before we lay you out of here. I've been trying to understand. I have questions too.

Well, sure. Tews might get a chance to talk. Who knows? The, like, I'm having a hard time understanding this. Tuesday always laughs to me when my brain goes here. You're a guy sitting in an odd walk. When you see something that hasn't actually been signed in the law, this capital gains tax,

and they're like, oh, yeah, we're just going to enforce it. I'm like, it makes zero sense to me. Like, do you see this on a daily basis? Or is this something completely out of la la land?

I mean, with the government we have, it seems kind of, you know, normal operations. Yeah, I don't know. I'm trying to,

I have a hard time. Are there any other things that RIPM Canada is doing? Yeah. Yeah. So, so, So, okay, so what happened here with this capital gains tax hike is, is largely unprecedented in both the amount of money that they were going to take from Canadians, like billions of

dollars. And the fact that by the time Parliament comes back, there will have been no legislation almost a year after the capital gains tax hike was first imposed. And the fact that there was likely election right around the corner, so there would be no legislation passed by parliament. Right. And yet you still had these unelected bureaucrats up until about 15 minutes. ago who are still going to enforce this illegal and undemocratic tax hike.

So what happened with the capital gains tax hike is a huge issue onto itself. Unfortunately, it's not the only time we've seen this. Like I'm sure you guys have heard us talk about the undemocratic alcohol tax hike escalator, right? April 1st. There you go. Right, guys. Like every year they hike alcohol taxes without a vote in parliament. Not just that.

The carbon tax, sorry, also has this undemocratic nature because where the act of the carbon tax is set up is that it's actually cabinet that can increase or decrease the carbon tax rates. That's one of the reasons when the CTF was at the Supreme Court intervening on behalf of taxpayers against the carbon tax. Those were the legal arguments that we made throughout the court challenges against the carbon tax in the provinces and at the highest level. So this capital gains tax hike, it is largely unprecedented because of the scale, size, cost, and scope. But unfortunately, there's a whole bunch of undemocratic things that are happening also here in Ottawa. Well, I'm happy to hear that, you know, like one of the things about bringing you on is when you bring up all the different things, I hear somebody's like paying attention. I know like we give a ton of credit to the CTF, we give a ton of credit to blacklocks.

And there's a whole bunch of others that are like, you know, you got to give a ton of credit to their work they continue to do. on, I mean, our government and hopefully new government here soon enough. But regardless, Franco, we appreciate you hopping on. Tuesday, I didn't give you. You got a question for Franco before we let them go? Well, it was kind of the same one where I just wanted to find out, is there any other skullduggery of this nature that is not being spoken about? But basically just parting thought is congratulations, guys,

especially Devin. I understand this was kind of his thing. He was spearheading. Very well done from my perspective. Well, hey, thanks, guys. And I just want to let you know thanks to your audience as well. I know Simmer loves going on the show with you guys. We love hearing her on the show.

Thanks for all you do. We're going to say this one more time. We would love. That was a piggy. Okay. Okay. Yeah. What's sorry?

Eddie. Oh, you guys want a golden piggy do you? No, we want to, we want to give one out. Yeah. We want to be a part of this. We want to help give out one of the golden piggy. Piggies. Maybe we'll do a people's choice award, hey? Wouldn't that be fun? I'm just saying we could have a lot of fun with it. A golden piggy on the mashup.

We'll keep pushing the CPS. If you're looking for a presenter for the next annual awards, we would definitely be interested in presenting one of the Teddy's. All right, well, let's say, let's chat about this sometime, hey? Sounds good. Franco, thanks for hopping on. It's great. Yes, thank you. Especially because we were able to put you on the spot about the Teddy's. Hey, love it. Got to be fast on my feet. Okay, cheers, guys. Have a good rest of your day. Hey. Thanks, you too. Thank you. All right, folks. We're, we're supposed to have James, man.

He, where's James again? Oh, for two. Oh, for two? Really? O for two. He's, I bet he's like caught off, you know, something in a lawyer world. We were chuckling about, habeas corpus or something like that. We're chuckling about Jeff Rath because he's like, he got in like 15 minutes before the show starts or 15 seconds. And he's like, oh, I've got plenty of time. So, you know, we'll wait and see. Maybe he hops in. In the meantime, we can get on to a little rapid fire news, too. Yeah, we can. So first thing in the rapid fire,

this is great. NDP Chopper Travel Costs questioned Canadian Taxpayers Federation. Here's the problem with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. They could be on for this whole show. Here's Carson Binda out of the BC Division, who brought up that David Ebby's former top aide that they just, we just talked about this a couple weeks ago. They gave him like a quarter million dollars in severance

after he worked there for two years. He spent $12,445 on helicopter trips for an average trip cost of $345. If he was to take the BC ferry across the same distance, it cost $15 per. Yeah. I mean, typical government, right? Could spend $15 and they find a way to just goes over.

I mean, it's, you can kind of see where the thought process comes from, Sean. Because you think about it, like, you go, you stay at a hotel. Do you use more or less conditioner than you use at home? I don't know, those crappy little, I don't know. Okay. I guess more. I don't know. I go to a hotel.

I go to a hotel. I got this little bottle that's got way more than enough to use. And two skirts at all in. just going to get thrown out anyway. And so I just, I basically make a dairy queen cone out of the stuff and then just slap it my hair and let it sit there for a little bit. I'll go through that whole thing because they're just going to toss that thing anyway. No one's going to miss it. It doesn't really make a difference.

It doesn't affect how much I paid for that hotel room. And that's kind of where this thought process starts at. But then it eventually goes to, I'm going to take a helicopter. to and from work. We were talking Blacklocks reporter. Holly Donne says, here's a story off of them that says federal employees convicted of crimes cannot remain on government payroll while in prison. You don't say labor board ruling follows cases of Parks Canada employees sent to prison for sexual assault

and managers didn't notice his absence for three months. There's so much wrong with this. Right off the bat, if you miss work for three straight months, And nobody notices? Yeah. Your job is unnecessary. Sad news on this side. Peev-March.

Yeah, this is brutal. Sad news, you know. We don't have sad news segment, folks, but PV-B-Mart, you've probably heard, I assume. Closing in stores all across Canada. Gone. Yep. Yeah, so get your, honestly, go there and smell it one last time. It's the best smelling store you'll ever be in.

entire Victoria School Board fired by the BC Education Minister over its ban on police in the schools British Columbia Imagine being so crazy that the NDP fired you Yeah The elected board of school district number 61

Has said the ban in place since 23 was based on reports that some students and teachers, particularly those who are indigenous or people are color, did not feel safe with officers in the school. All right. city of Richmond City of Richmond

spent tens of thousands of dollars on restaurant gift cards they spent $73,000 on gift cards to two restaurants and then because it was gift cards they couldn't track whether they spent it all on alcohol or what all they purchased or anything like that

they spent basically almost exactly right down the middle between the two at the keg and the cactus club the obvious question being are they owned by the same person you know who does because that's that's that sketchy uh saturday mark your calendars folks tomorrow it's looking like it's finally happening two tuesday is excited uh tariffs on canada and america uh supposed to come in tomorrow um we're going to wait and see what uh what all

comes with that there's a ton of stuff going on right now but uh certainly Um, tomorrow marks, uh, possibly a big day in, well, cost everything, right, too? Yep. Yep. Chris cousin says, have you been on those ferries? I'd take a chop or two. No, I haven't. I'm a red-blooded man.

Ferry getting on top of fairies isn't really my thing. Tews, why are you so excited about tomorrow? Because it's everything they voted for for the past 10 years. It's everything they supported. You know, you've got this government who multiple elections, go said we are just going to have wide open borders. We're just going to do whatever the hell we want. We have been covering, like especially since the Coots thing,

but we've been covering for a long time when the odd person gets caught with drugs. And they're just let out on bail, let out on bail, let out on bail. We've had this, this, um, this, uh, justice system for lack of a better word, although there's quite a few that's been going on forever doing absolutely nothing. We've got a border patrol that is taking people's luggage. Do you remember when the people coming illegally across Roxham Road border were complaining that because the RC&P had set up meal stations for them, they were complaining that there weren't halal options. Imagine illegally crossing the border.

and the people who are supposed to turn you around or shoot you actually have like a lemonade stand set up to welcome you in and you complain that the provisions provided are not sufficient. That sounds like Canada. It's just, I'm like, it's funny because literally that's the state of Canada. And so this has been going on for years. And it's finally gotten to the point where like it's the,

the rot has crept into the neighboring slabs of wood, which in this case is the U.S. And they're saying, look, enough is enough, right? This is what we wanted. And then, you know, you go back like two, three weeks ago, Daniel Smith's evil and how dare she go down to Marilago. And now we're looking at the possibility of having oil exempted from this. Why?

Because she's the only one who acted like an adult through this whole thing. And so everybody, everybody is getting their, just desserts. I'll tell you what, right at this point, at this point, before we go to polling Canada, I want to remind people, if you're enjoying the show, you're sitting on Twitter, well, X, you're sitting on anywhere else watching

us, make sure to give it a retweet, make sure to share it, because one of the things me and twos know very well, as we do not have a liberal budget of spending as much money as we want on trying to get our show out. So we would love it. If you're tuning in for the first time, you're tuning in, you love them what's going on.

Maybe you're a long time listener. Just remember to hit that button and let's, grow the number of people. 2-2-2. That's pretty sweet news. We just hit. We just hit, as Sean was saying, that 2,22 people watching live. Now that's not to speak well the people who watch afterwards too, right?

That's correct. So, we're in Canada. You think about Canada right now, folks. Canada has never been so weak. 53%. Agreed. The people who disagree, I would ask them when, specifically, was Canada weaker than that? I just love this.

Like, I mean, doesn't that just rate there? That's Canada rate. That perfectly sums up Canada. So you've got Donald Trump. It's, I think it's Photoshop, but it's hard to tell. But you've got Donald Trump sitting in a chair and Justin Trudeau sitting in his classic. We can both see Justin Trudeau walking into meet with the president of the Taylor Swift shirt on. We could.

And he's got all the bracelets on. And Donald Trump's talking in the picture. And the caption is, I could give a rat's ass about your friendship bracelets. And this is basically what this country has become. And so look, I'm all for democracy. And this is what the people have wanted for the past decade. This is what they voted for. This is what they supported.

And anybody who had anything contrarian to say about that was a racist, a bigot, a homophobe, or an unacceptable fringe minority. Well, guess what? The unacceptable fringe minority just got their oil exempted from your idiot fucking tariffs, bitch. Toronto Star opinion. Daniel Smith just might get Trump's tariffs exempt. on oil and gas and then I want to say, is she really going at it alone? No, not at all.

She's accompanied by the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers and insinuates that she's doing their marching orders. It's not a bad thing to work with your neighbors. Nahed Nenshi. Alberta deserves a Premier who stands with Canadians twos.

This article is two days old. Then she got an article in the Edmonton Journal and it was talking about how Daniel Smith had been going up about this all wrong and she's not looking out for Albertans and just it's two days old the article's two days old

and it's already been proven to be hopelessly wrong on every facet Tyler Meredith former head of fiscal and economic policy for the prime minister Justin Trudeau he was quoted saying by taxing imports the government of Canada could potentially

record about 130 billion in revenues next year. Here you're going to use okay let's play let's play it let's play it let's play all right it's just It's a quick clip. All right. We're trying to wait here for twos to actually play. Are you going to bring it up on the screen, or are you just going to stare at it?

Oh, oh, shoot. I'm sorry. Hey, hey, hey, folks. Yeah, this is a great clip. I've been watching, I've been watching this in the background, but I guess we're going to remember, I think, which is maybe a lot of people don't understand. We're going to have as a government tariffs, because if we respond in a dollar for dollar, I would just like to pause it real quick and point out how small this guy's hands are. Look at those tiny hands.

It's like a Kendall with a giant head. You know what they say? We're taxing the imports that come back across the border towards us, which means if we're doing this on a dollar for dollar basis and it applies to all goods and services, the government of Canada could record potentially $130 billion in revenues next year, which would wipe out the deficit and would, I think, create an interesting question of how you recycle that in the economy,

do you use tax cuts? Do you use targeted? He's got Elizabeth Mayey's too, by the way. Industrial supports in order to help businesses in an emergency. Do you help businesses with retooling? Do you want to think about extended employment insurance program supports for training? There's a whole range of things you can do, but I think what's different in this case from any other recession is that government is going to have money. All right, I would just like to point out that the one thing we could theoretically spend with this $130.

and I'll get to that in a second. The one thing, the obvious thing to spend this money on, NATO contributions, securing the border, and cracking down on people who make drugs. That's what should have been thrown out there. But here's the other thing is he's saying, well, you know what, if we're just doing dollar for dollar,

you're looking at $130 billion in tariffs. What he's not taking into account is deadweight losses. Deadweight losses being caused by the Laffer Curp. Both things, I am fairly certain. No liberal knows the first fucking thing about. But the concept is, is that when you raise taxes on something, whether they're called tariffs, taxes, fees, or whatever pricing, you get less of it, assuming that there's some type of an elastic demand. Nova Scotia Liberal MP, Jamie Batiste says he will be dropping on the Liberal Party. Leadership race in favor backing Bank of Governor, a Bank of Canada, Governor Mark Carni.

that leaves five candidates in the race. Carney, Freeland, former government house leader, Karina Gold, former Montreal Liberal MP, Frank Baylis, and former Brampton, Ontario Liberal MP,

Ruby Dalia. Yeah, we're going to get to her in a little bit. I'd just like to point out real quick that CBC, to their very limited credit. No, no, no, I want to show a picture of this lady.

No, no, no, no, here. Just look at the picture they picked of Jamie Batiste. where he's just like, oh, fuck. All right, go to your picture of Ruby Dala.

So this could be our next prime minister of Canada. I mean, if women are going to vote for looks adjusted Trudeau, maybe we should vote the same way in the liberal. And she's been clever on her ads. Well, kind of yes. I would like to point out that this being her official photo for her running as leader of the liberal party, she has her fly open. but look closely the fly on her pants is as far down as the economy dude

her fly is down like the liberals we the nDP is not a serious party but god damn it liberals could you just show up for this uh just let you think we're going to have a dull moment on this show you know, like there's going to be a week goes by where there's nothing to talk about. Two's finds one of the candidates running for the Liberal Party of Canada with the fly down. Oh, it's insane.

Great catch. Oh, well, I don't know if she's a great catch or not. But, like, she's just absolutely silly. Like, here's her. This is, you know, you're talking about all these great things she's been saying. This is from her Twitter account.

Ruby Dalla will deport every, illegal immigrant living in Canada as prime minister. Not as prime minister, Ruby Dalla will do this. But if you read this correctly, Ruby Dalla will deport every illegal immigrant living in Canada as prime minister. How many illegal immigrants do we have in Canada living as prime minister, Sean? And look, I get it. Look, where she's from, where she's from, Sean, people aren't really good with the English

language reading and writing English If you're new to the show If you're new to the show, if you're new to the show Toos has a thing with grammar He hates. Okay. Now look, look She is her people, Sean, Her people are not well known

For speaking English very well. Where is she from? Born in Winnipeg, Sean. She was a chiropractor before she got into politics. Okay? And here's the other thing. I just want to point out this picture. look at these giant fake bazongas she has, Sean. Seriously, they look like two fresh gravel piles on the horizon.

When she says she could keep the economy afloat, I believe her. And let's be honest, if she'd been on the Titanic, there would have been nothing for James Cameron to make that movie about. And if she'd have been cast as Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio would have needed more paper. She is going to be a perfect fit for the Liberals because she's obviously okay with high levels of inflation. Sean, it doesn't surprise me at all

that someone with obvious lower back problems became a chiropractor. I haven't seen knockers that big since that time I opened a door to the temple of a lost temple in Peru. And now, so if she replaces Justin Trudeau, we'll be replacing one giant boob with two. And look, putting too much makeup on

to try and hide the fact that she's aging poorly, it's a perfect allegory for the last decade of liberal policies. They look like pissed jugs on a hot day, Sean. You'd think the liberal party would have learned their lesson by now about choosing a leader based entirely on their looks, and yet here we are.

Would you like me to come back in? Yeah. Yeah. What else is going on, Sean? Well, Freeland's quoted as saying, I'm really happy to rerunning against the Ottawa establishment. I think we need to change. That folks is a direct quote from Freeland.

From Christian Freeland. Christian Freeland is saying this. Here's the thing. Everybody's talking about, you know, you had Chandra Aria. He got kicked out. They wouldn't let him run because everybody was shitposting that they were going to basically Barbara Streis and him into becoming the next prime minister. And they said, oh, well, you know, it's because he didn't speak French.

but he said he didn't speak French like over two weeks before they made the decision. And if anybody's listened to Mark Carney talk in French, they know that speaking French is not a requirement at this point in time. But we're all talking like, oh, what's this person doing? What's this person saying? It doesn't really matter because no matter who wins, they have to go in one of two directions. One, they have to say that they're going to continue to do everything that the liberals have been doing for the last nine years,

which is going to be an absolute shit show. Or two, they have to say that everything the liberals have been doing up until this point has been a shit show and garbage, and they're moving in a different direction. And so it's this catch-22. And regardless of how it happens, people are going to look at it and say, either you're the same piece of shit, we just voted out,

so we're not going to vote for you in the next federal election, whenever the fuck that is, or they're going to say, oh, so you were lying to us the whole time, and it's only now, now. So you've got this nine-year track record of not saying a fucking word when someone in charge or in a place of authority

is doing really bad shit to this country. You just went along to get along because you cared more about your political career. And now you're telling us that you suddenly have had this change of heart? Bullshit, get the fuck out of here. whoever wins, it doesn't fucking matter. They're going to be a blip in the history books.

The Kim Campbell is going to be mocking. Nearly $60,000 worth of butter stolen from Peel region grocery stores. You know, I mean, too, love a good heist. And if it isn't cheese, now it's butter. Well, you know what? I just, dairy cartels had some really tough times over the past few years. And it just breaks my heart. Shut up to the D.C.

breaks my heart to see somebody ripping them off. Three suspects identified. I mean, 22 year old Vajvi Singh, 23 year old Sukmander Singh and 28 year old Dalway Sidhu. Those are the three. Okay. The point you missed here in this is that, yeah, the headline was butter,

but it was a big, it was butter and ghee. and what is ghee? Gies clarified butter. And what do you use it for? Cooking with a high smoke point. What do you do that with? Meat. You've got a whole bunch of people with very East Indian names,

of which about 40% of the population is vegetarian, stealing clarified butter that you use for cooking meat. This country is so fucked up in every possible way. And by the way, three of those people were out on bail for pre-belled. crimes. How about this one? Vancouver escort charged with arm robbery in Ontario. A victim had contacted police to report he had been held against his will by two suspects

who forced him to withdraw money from several ATMs. Police said the victim had met the suspects while attempting to arrange sexual encounter and had entered their car to arrange the transaction. It didn't go the way he thought it was going to go to, too. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's still cheaper than having an ex-wife, I guess. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Oh, no.

That's fantastic. Five people, including a 14-year-old, they're facing several charges after a botched robbery attempt at jewelry store and Markham. Now, one of the things me and two's love is a good heist. This is about as bad as it gets. Investigators say four suspects emerged from one of the vehicles carrying sledgehammers, garbage bags, and approach the store. Okay, sounds reasonable so far.

I mean, I think I would go a little different. but then it reads, however, they were unable to get inside as it was closed for the day. I'm like, kind of heist is this. It didn't even like, we used to be a proper country, Sean. Didn't even like Google.

We used to be a proper country. What type is these guys open? Nope. They're closed guys. Maybe we shouldn't show up and get arrested. I mean, meanwhile, they have video of it from the helicopter. These people bolt the vehicle,

get tackled by cops. You're like, this is, this is about as bad as a, Heist gets. This would be a great movie. Do you remember, well, it's, I was just going to say, it's just like in Snatch, where they try and go into that bookie to rob the bookie, but all bets are off, all bets are off, and they can't get the door open.

And then they're just sitting there waiting for the cops to show up, waiting for someone to come in and kill them. And then Tyrone gets tired of waiting in the car. And so he just opens the door. And they realize that it was a pole door, not a push door. This is basically that. There's a couple of pictures of the two of the, two of the, the suspects.

Inmates get treated better than an Alberta cancer patient on the state in a hospital storage room. She said, I cried. It was like being kept in captivity. And I think I got a picture here, twos of it. If I can find it, maybe I don't. I thought it did. Regardless, that's how Rose Role of Tabor described her stay at the Chinook Regional

Hospital in Lethbridge after she said she was moved into a bed in a storage closet. she claimed she was forced out of her own bedding. She was forced to find her own bedding food water from a vending machine and had to use a public washer. And there's a picture of it. Yes. So, I mean,

it's better than just leaving her outside or leaving her in a hallway to die. You know, this is as much as we look at this and say this is bullshit that they put her in a storage closet, we need to embrace the fact that this is a win compared to what has been happening recently. Look at that woman who had to get her leg amputated because they didn't have anywhere to put her for a few days in Winnipeg a couple months ago. This is our health care system in Canada making a comeback.

Almost three quarters of Canadian troops are overweight or obese documents say the Canadian military has higher obesity rates than the general population. Military leaders have been warned that Canada's troops are becoming increasingly overweight and obese with 72% of armed. forces personnel falling into those two categories. 68% of Canadian men considered obese or overweight, while that rate was 78% for the men in the military. I called Chuck Brodnick yesterday, 2's, just to get his thoughts. And you can imagine the explicit as it came out of his mouth. Explodives.

Yes, thank you. As we talked about the fact there's zero discipline in the Canadian military, and they're more concerned with menstrual products in the men's bathroom. Well, I'm just going to go out on a limb. and say that when you hire somebody for a job and that job is to get shot at, you would probably want to make that task more difficult for the bad guys. A little run here and there, maybe a salad from time to time. And that bullet that would have hit you whizzes by.

Volkswagen cancels all electric ID7 for Canada, US. Volkswagen has confirmed it will not be bringing its ID7, all electric sedan to our market setting and overall downturn and EV sales. And if we rewind the clock Tuesday, June 14th, 2023, Volkswagen battery plants subsidy may cost Canada 16.3 billion. Yeah. Yeah. They were promised $13.9 billion by Justin Trudeau.

And then that was potentially going to see an increase. And now they're not even going to fucking do it. How much money do we get back out of that? I'm going to assume none. I'm going to guess none. Carol Scobie says no more beer for the troops. Jamie, Jamie? Jamie, you watch it?

Jamie got any thoughts on that? Jamie, are you awake? Jamie, are you here? What was supposed to be millions spent to recover suspected children's graves at an Indian residential school in BC instead went to publicists and consultants according to financial records

obtained by Blacklock's reporter, the records were obtained under the Access of Information Act, and, of course, Crown Indigenous Relations attempted to hide them. The First Nations received more than $12 million in funding after announcing the discovery of 215 children's graves in Camelow's B.C. back in 2021, and the costs included that they uncovered were $37,000 for marketing and communications, $54,000 in travel, $100,000 is six months pay for two trauma counselors, $405,000 administrative costs, $5,000, $3,000. 2000 was paid for security.

The First Nations also hired 25 consultants to provide advice and support to the chief and council and paid publicists to develop communications strategies dues. They spent over a half a million dollars setting up security around these locations where the bodies are supposedly buried. What's going to happen? What? Is someone going to come by in the middle of the night and dig one of them up? That's kind of the whole fucking point.

The only digging that actually happened in this entire fucking fiasco going back four years is the the journalists and the reporters actually having to figure out where the fucking money went. That's the only digging that happened in this situation. This is a fucking disgrace. Like, just think about this. Like, I'm not First Nations, but if I was First Nations, I would be pissed right the fuck off about this. Joe Maglioga, the former counselor of Calgary's Ward 2,

has been found guilty of fraud, a drugged rule. on Monday. He was accused of lying about travel expenses and other claims between October 2017 and December 2019. At that time, he said he was meeting with politicians across the country, including Quebec. Oops. Yeah, a Quebec cabinet minister, Ontario's NDP leader, and a mayor of Halifax. However, all three testified they never met him. That they never met him. Justice Gord Wong told the court on Monday that the only contact he may have had with them was the exchange of business. cards.

So he's been found guilty of fraud and he's going to be sentenced in May. Which, again, great news. Actually, this would have been a great thing to point out to Franco. You've actually got somebody who is a politician that lied to get a bunch of free shit. And now he's been convicted. And it wasn't just the Conflict of Interest Act where it's a $200 fine. He got convicted of fucking fraud. This is big news.

This could almost been happy news. Here's a guy. Trans-identified male in Eminton, Alberta has been charged after allegedly sexually assaulting multiple women at a women's shelter in the city. Micah Lynn Katz, 37, also known as Michael Collins. Can you imagine letting this guy into a woman's shelter? I'm just like, really? Really? Yep. Despite the serious nature of the charges, Katz was then released with conditions. Oh, man. We're just. not a serious country right now, folks.

We are not a serious country. Let's go on to goofy, shall we? If that wasn't goofy, I don't even, like, to me, that is goofy. What are we going to do? You know, I, like, I literally have trouble trying to decide whether to put something in goofy or talk about it seriously news every week, every week. Yes. Okay.

But, yeah, leading off the, we've got, uh, female rapper Dank DeMoss has filed a multi-million lawsuit against Lyft for denying her service because she was too big. This woman is not tiny. It's not tiny at all. And she went to get in a lift. And now the obvious joke that's been made all over the internet is that it's lift and not a forklift. But this woman, for those of you listening, is taking up most of the screen right now. And when she went to go get into the lift that she ordered,

the driver took a look and he said, you're not fitting in here, you're going to wreck this car, the tires aren't built for this. Oh, man. I mean, it's not that wrong. You know, I've been a few weeks since we had a high-calorie human story

and finally Tuse gets his wish. What? Do you think I like covering things like this? Do you think I enjoy laughing about this? I think you do. I think it's just absolutely horrible. I think this story was written for Tews. I think it's just, it's absolutely horrible.

Think of all the cakes that have died in the making of this story, Sean. A 525 pound bear found hiding underneath an excavated home in California. Yes. So California is kind of, you know, in a lot of places, has been somewhat abandoned lately with the fires and everything like that. And this bear just decided to start living underneath, uh, underneath the house. And so they set up cameras and then they set up this big, you know,

if, I don't know if I'll be able to do this, but they, they set up a big, they had trouble relocating him because he was so fat. And so what they did, he was they,

they enticed him to get out with all of these, they went and they got this like, and tricked him to get. into this big giant trailer that the door just swings shut automatically and then the big fat bear gets trapped inside maybe that rapper should order one of these next time these rides up but it's funny the california you're like oh there's a giant bear what's it doing here i think you meant high calorie human too's high calorie human so this giant bear this giant bear it's on their fucking flag this is their home feet people so

There's that. The latest Ecos poll. I got a sitting right here. Let's pull it up, I think. Maybe I don't. I got it. I got it up. All right.

So this is, I can't even look at this and keep a straight face. Ecos, who, if you look at his late night tweets, appears to have a drinking problem. And he has made it very clear that he's highly partisan and doesn't want Pollyev to win, which is a tricky thing to do when. you make all your money from government contracts. And so now it appears as though he's going all in on just saying that the liberals are winning and hoping that the poll is going to skew public opinion in his favor and his company doesn't immediately die.

Now somebody, I'm not the first person yet. The actually, the Eco's poll actually has the Liberals leading in Canada. It's also got- This ball is not a serious poll. It's got two seats for the PPC or possibly even three. Three seats. It's got three seats in Lower Manitoba. It's just, it's just damn silly is what it is.

And then somebody had accused him of being a drunk. And he got his lawyer. He got his lawyer to go after this guy. I am Frank Graves lawyer. We have the ability to find you and sue you for this defamation. how do you prove that do you do a timestamp breathalyzer like if you just accuse somebody of drunk tweeting how do they actually prove that that didn't happen it's just absolutely silly but that's that's the state of canada polls right now it's do you want do you want to show the video of rfk and bernie sanders or

do you just want me to talk about it um well here tell you what we'll go part way through it to almost all the members of this panel are accepting including yourself are accepting millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry oh no no no no interest look at our red burn I thought that that would come no yeah you I ran for president like you I got millions of contributions they did not come from the executives not one nickel of pack money from the pharmaceutical and they came to workers In 2020, in 2020, you were the single largest Because I have four contributions from workers all over this country.

Workers, not a nickel from corporate tax. You were the single largest except for pharmaceutical dollars. No, from workers in the industry. 1.5 million. Yeah, out of 200 million. All right. Not one nickel. Not one nickel.

Not one nickel. Yeah, okay. Yeah, it was that a $200 million? Yeah. What are you talking about? Yeah, although. Woman pleads guilty in the UK's first ever cyber farting case. Spanked with penalties after sending videos for self.

I'm sorry. Did you literally say spanked with penalties? It did. I didn't catch that Tom Rina right now. Oh, that's great. Somebody's out of fun. So, yeah. Apparently.

um she was dating this guy and then they broke up and this other chick was dating this guy and they broke up and then she started texting the farting videos to her boyfriend of of her farting and now she must she got she got she got charged with that Evans must attend 15 real abys rehabilitation sessions 60 days of alcohol abstinence monitoring and a two year restraining order following the cheek the cheek squeaking stunt yes well it's very tongue in cheek definitely in the UK if anyone's wondering so so yeah the UK as much as Canada is not

a serious place right now the UK's not a serious place you know although I will say this if this happened in Canada probably the same jail terms would come out but it wouldn't be because it was mean farting it would be some type of an emissions

regulation lapse they'd be like oh yeah you're you're increasing your carbon footprint too much by farting it doesn't matter that it's into the camera and sent to this other girl. You're farting and it's wrecking the planet. Do you want to talk about Elizabeth May? No, but here we are anyway.

Elizabeth May gets more time on this show than probably any other show under the sun right now. She seems to come up every week because she says something absolutely crazy and we have all the time for it. Yes. Carry on Elizabeth May. I'll address that issue, especially when it's an, as she said,

existential threat to deposition. Watching Elon Musk parade around the world as the new emperor of all along with his buddy, Donald Trump. I am deeply concerned for the next election in Canada. I think Musk interfering in Germany's elections on the side of the far-right parties that want to play footsie with Nazis and say we don't have to feel guilty about our past

on International Day of Holocaust remembrance. This is pretty offensive stuff. Our solution in the Green Party is we as Canadians and our government should say there's no such thing as a platform. So she starts drawing on and on after this. Yes. And talking like a complete,

just asshole. But I just want to point out that she's mad. She's mad that an extremely wealthy person wants to, and the funny thing is it's not even put your thumb on the scale. It's they want to take all the thumbs. Musk wants to take all the thumbs off the scale of, of discussions of free speech. And she sees that as election interference.

But she doesn't see some multimillionaire who hasn't lived in Canada for 12 years going from the Bank of England to running for prime minister as foreign interference. Thinking of answering, and there's a phone with a picture of Alberta calling, living in BC shouldn't be so hard.

Let's make it easy to stay. Stay with BC.ca. I mean, this is, this is like the modern equivalent of the Berlin Wall. Like, we get the fact that it sucks living here, but we don't want you to leave. And we're going to try and stop you from leaving. And we get the fact that it's better everywhere else, but we want you to stay here anyway. Like, this shouldn't be, this shouldn't be how provinces are ran at all. Quebec, thinking about teaming up with Europe, oil and gas.

Yeah, so go on to that picture here for a sec. There we go. So you basically got the classic, you son of a bitch, arm slap thing from Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers, except it's a French arm and a European arm. But the problem is, is that it's not very accurate. You could tell that AI made this because if it was a real Frenchman, clasping hands with somebody from Europe, their wrists would both be a whole lot more limp. That's where you wanted to go today.

All right. All right. Let's, anyways, gray sweaters. Is there something going on here? What is going on with the gray sweaters? What is with all of these people wearing gray sweaters lately, Sean? I don't know. It's unbelievable.

I don't know. I guess I'm not getting a gray sweater because I want to look like none of these buffoons. Why are all these people wearing gray sweaters all the time, Sean? Hmm. What is with? What is with the gray sweaters? Somebody tell me. It just baffles me.

Too's following his, uh, his idols, maybe folks. That's funny. I got this for Christmas from Mrs. Toos. And then I see all this happening and I'm like, does she know something I don't? As somebody who dissents fairly frequently with the government, is she, is she a plant? Look at the. Is there a, is there a resemblance? here. Feels like there maybe is. Oh my God. Oh my

God. James Madsen is on. James, we're making time for you. Okay. Let's wait. Let's wrap this up here. Better late than never. Okay. All right. We just got, I think just one or two more. We've got, yeah, just the one more. So Xavier Trudeau, who we all know from going to the Barbies. I don't even have it. I don't even have it. I got it. He is launching an R&B career.

Now, he doesn't do it. Yes. Now, I'm not saying that the apple isn't falling far from the tree here, but this is a 17-year-old kid who, to the best by knowledge, has never toured, never put out albums or anything like that. And he is just launching based on name brand recognition. And this is preview. A song this is shitty, I would absolutely expect from a Trudeau. I chuckled in actually the interview because they talked about

how he wasn't going to use his last name to and then they said, yeah, you don't want to make it because your father's name and I'm like, really? That's why you don't want to use your father's last name? Compare him to Colter Wall for a second.

You've got a guy who, even when people get introduced to him, they're like, wait, wasn't there another wall guy from Saskatchewan? Like, it's not, hey, I'm Colter Wall,

Brad Wall's kid. You know, he built up this reputation and this following, and he developed and honed his craft and built up that million-dollar voice for years before it was even Bradwell-Colter-wall. Yes, but the thing is, let's be honest. Trudeau, that name is, yeah, is through the mud. Okay. We have constitutional lawyer James Manson with us to talk lawsuit challenging prerogation. I'm bringing them in. James, thanks for making some time.

we're happy you can make it this week. Hi, guys. How are you? Can you hear me? We can hear you. Perfect. Listen, I'm very sorry that you've had a little bit of difficulty getting me on the line here. I'm kind of a loser that way. There's been a lot of emergency stuff going on that I'll sort of keep in the background. But I'm pleased to say that everything that I've been dealing with has been about this case. And it's been important and it's been very helpful in talking to some people, some important people.

about their views on how to emerge victorious from this case. What is the case? What is the case? The case is one of the most important cases that I've ever been involved in, that's for sure. It is a case that asks us to determine or to figure out the power of the prime minister. So as we all know, right, now we're in a situation

where the prime minister of Canada has, you know, shut down parliament, right? He has said, we have to have a leadership review, our leadership race, excuse me, and we have to have a reset of parliament, whatever that means. So the question then becomes, is that okay? Is it okay to shut down parliament for 11 weeks, particularly in the middle of a trade war, right? We know that President Trump is now very much threatening to impose tariffs. I think it's, you know, tomorrow. And the question because- So this is a core challenge against prorogging parliament. It's a question, against challenging prerogation.

Exactly. To cut it short, we're suggesting that that was wrong, that that was unlawful. Okay. Now, the interesting thing when we read it, and it's funny because we were talking about this

because I just got Grock to summarize it on Twitter. And then you jumped in and you're like, or you could just ask the guy who wrote it. And I said, well, actually, that's a really good idea. I want to come on a podcast. And, but the thing about it is,

is that you didn't use, So there's a lot of people who had said that he was proroging it to buy his party more time so that they could figure their shit out. And you didn't go with that argument. Well, there is that argument, right? So basically one of the things that we're arguing is that to buy time for a leadership race, that's obviously wrong. That's obviously wrong. That has nothing to do with the business of government, right? That's a party matter.

And no party has the right to have a smooth leadership race in the middle of a trade war, for example, right? So that's one point. The other point is the law is very clear about this, that parliament is supposed to be the supreme institution in our country. And that means that the government is subject to parliament. Parliament is supposed to supervise and oversee the government. It's not the other way around. The government is not supposed to supervise Parliament. So when Justin Trudeau says, or frankly anybody, any prime minister,

when they say, I can't get anything done in parliament, Parliament's not doing what I want, Parliament's parents. Oh, no. We finally got him. We finally got him and he froze up. And he froze up. All right. Wait, wait, he's back.

He's back. I'm back. Sorry, guys. So ultimately what I've said... No. No. James! James!

You got to go to Starlink, James. Oh, man. We're so close, twos. We're like this close. The world doesn't want us to hear about prerogation and the lawsuit challenging it. Honestly, ceases if you guys could quit mucking around with our internet. I think we're back. Ultimately, what I'm saying is that that's wrong.

You can't do that to Parliament. And so we're saying that the prime ministers overstepped his authority by shutting down Parliament. And now the case is past its first hurdle and it's moving forward. The cases past its first hurdle, right. So there was an urgent determination made by the court, which means that we are now going to a hearing on the 13th and 14th of February. The hearing is going to be in Ottawa. in the Supreme Court building.

It's a very fancy building, and it'll be very fun to argue there. And I think that's good. So the case is proceeding very quickly. It's very, very rare to have an urgent hearing happen this quick for something this important. So we've all been working very hard. I've been very focused on writing all of our materials and all that stuff. What is, like, what's, just walk me through this. What is the best case scenario?

And if that happens, the best case scenario, then what happens? Well, our best case scenario is going to be the same as what happened in 2019 in England. There was a prerogation that happened there when Prime Minister Johnson shut down Parliament over there for a few weeks to kind of avoid all the Brexit mess. And ultimately, what happened there was the Supreme Court of the UK said what we want to say. And they said that was unlawful because he didn't have a. a good reason to shut down Parliament in the middle of a crisis. That sounds familiar to us. So basically, the UK Supreme Court declared that Parliament actually never had been proroged at all. So there was nothing stopping them from going back to Parliament the next day.

So we're going to be arguing that the same thing should be the case, that basically Parliament in our Parliament right now has not been shut down, that they can actually go back, the very next day after we get a ruling, if we get a good ruling. And ultimately, then what's going to happen is they can do what they want to do. Parliament can then decide what they want to do. If they want to have a non-confidence vote, they can do that. If the opposition can figure that out, they can do that. If the government wants to reach out to the opposition and form some kind of an alliance

to deal with the trade war that's coming, they can do that. Parliament can do whatever it wants, because of course they're the representatives of the people. And that's okay. If there's going to be a non-confidence vote, well, it'll eventually happen, right? But basically, it's up to Parliament is what's going to be our argument. So if the second day of the hearing is the 14th, is there any chance that it will go overtime? And will they make a ruling on the 14th or will they recess for a while and say we're going to get back to you? I don't think they'll make a ruling right away.

This is a difficult, complicated case. So probably they won't. Probably they will reserve judgment for at least a little while, but they will be aware that this is a very important and urgent case. So they're going to get us a decision, I would think, within a week or two, I would say. Now, what happens next? Well, there could be an appeal or a couple of appeals, depending on what happens. If the crown wins, we might want to appeal and vice versa. In the UK, what happened was they actually, had a special mechanism and they jumped from the lower court decision all the way to the Supreme Court right away. They just kind of leaped over the middle court. And we could do that too. There is a mechanism in our law that you can go to the Supreme Court immediately from a lower court judgment. But everybody would have to agree and the Supreme Court would have to agree to take the case. So who knows whether that would happen. But naturally, if we're looking at an urgent, urgent remedy, that might be something we would want to think about.

James, how long in the UK did it take for the case and then all the way to the Supreme Court and everything? It was less than one month. And this is one of the things that I made the point when I was talking with the judge earlier in the part about whether this was urgent. The Crown, the opposing party in this case, the government lawyers, they were saying, oh, this isn't urgent. We don't need to have an urgent hearing. And we have to have all this time to do this and that. And I said, look, the entire thing in the UK took less than a month. And here we're talking about weeks and weeks and weeks of time. So it's true. We're not going to be proceeding as quickly as they did in the UK. That's for sure. I don't know how quickly they could do it. That was light speed

over in the UK. We're still going pretty quick here. It may be the case, guys, that we may be debating this point after March 24th still when parliament's supposed to come back anyway it might bring the idea of mootness into account as to whether the case is moot and doesn't need to be heard anymore who knows we'll have to wait and see about about about all that but certainly we're trying our best to get this done as quickly as we can so if we get a decision really quick from the lower court we'll lock into gear pretty quick if we need to to see if we can get this herd by an appeal court if we need to, you know, before the 24th of March. That way we'll have still some practical value to the case, right? But we'll have to see.

The mootness thing, it really irritates me. I mean, it came up with that big previous case you guys had where they said, well, it doesn't matter because we're not doing it right now. And I feel like if that's a legal argument, you could apply it to a murder case. And you could say, I'm not currently killing this person, am I? So that is, yes. I think in the case of a murder, right, somebody still died. Something happened and that has happened in the past. It's true that like that's an action, not a law.

So when a law no longer takes effect and the law evaporates, I would argue that what you're arguing is that if that law had an impact on me while I was still, you know, while I was doing my, doing my, you know, living my life, shall we say, then I would still say that there is value in what happened there because even though the law no longer exists, what happened to me still happened. And we have to we have, we have to figure out whether that was good or bad. So I'm with you on that. I also have to say that. I also have to say. that I had some difficulties with mootness during the COVID years. A lot of these policies, you know, were rescinded by the government, as you guys remember. And that was, in my view, disappointing that we couldn't get a ruling on whether they were constitutional or not because they were very important restrictions of our liberties. But that's obviously a different issue from times gone by. What I think is that even though this. particular case may be quote unquote moot we're still talking about the prime minister's advice to the

governor general and we still are going to say just like your example of murder was that advice good or bad it doesn't matter that there's no practical remedy anymore we still need to know whether that advice was good or bad and what the prime minister's power is and that's because it's a super important issue, right? We need to know what is the prime minister's power in this situation. And again, guys, as I'm sure everybody knows, the prime minister in Canada has enormous power in his or her hands. It's much more than the president of the United States because they've got checks and balances with Congress and everything else. The PM here has almost unlimited power to do what they want to do. And so, does that extend to shutting down parliament, which is really one of the only other people that can do anything,

it's a very important question. So we're going to say, even though there may be a mootness issue, the court should go ahead and hear the case anyway. Now, it's been a couple weeks since I read it, so please refresh my memory. You're not, the defendant isn't the governor general. Who specifically is the defendant and then how does that fit into like it's is it justin trudeau personally no no no um originally what we did was we we named in the in the title of the of the action um the prime minister not justin trudo in his personal capacity but the prime minister in his official capacity and the governor general and the attorney general of canada because the way the rules of court work and all this boring legal stuff, you're supposed to name the attorney general because the attorney general is the

chief legal officer of the government and essentially they stand up for the government for all legal matters essentially. So what that means is really the other names were not necessary. They were kind of redundant. So basically the crowns lawyers, when they when they got wind of the case, they reached out. They said, hey, we'd like you to remove the prime minister. and the Governor General from the title of the proceeding. It's not relevant, not necessary, and the Attorney General is all you need. And we took a look at the law and the rules, and it's pretty much true that you only have to name the Attorney General, the AG, as we say.

And that still opens the door to making all of our arguments. So it's really just a kind of a formal thing. It's not really relevant to anything actual in the case. fair enough any final thoughts uh two's before we let james out well i mean this maybe i'm speaking just for myself but that was a really information packed few minutes here well there's a reason why we've been trying to get james on this side so we can learn a little more about uh what's going on with prerogation and and well i don't know what you guys are doing is fantastic like it's it's interesting. That's why we've been, you know, we're excited to have here.

Well, I, guys, again, profound apologies for, for being a bit late now. Not necessary. I, I, I am thrilled to be here and to talk to you guys and everybody else about this. This is a very important case. So if you can stomach having me back, I'll promise I'll be on time. Well, I'll try to promise. I don't want to have to take you and your own personal attorney general to court if that ends up being less than true. So let's just, we would love to have you back. All right. And we'll pay attention. We're not going to hold your feet to the fire on punctuality. Oh, my God. What a loser. Sorry about that. No, no. We'll pay, we'll pay attention to how things go here in February for you. And certainly. I'll tell you guys, one last thing.

So our materials, our papers and everything, they're due to be filed on Monday. That's why we're all furiously working right now on Monday. And then the Crowns materials are due on Friday next week. And then the hearing is on the 13th and 14th. So we are full bore. But I'm happy to come back and explain to you how things are going, you know, whenever you like. Perfect. Very much appreciated.

Yes, James. Thanks for making some time. And we'll look forward to an update here in the coming weeks. Very good, guys. Thanks again. see you later. All right, twos. We got James Manson.

What a just happy accident, how that all came together. Well, I'm glad we stuck around for a few extra minutes. We're here for a few extra minutes today. Are we not, folks? Yeah. We got happy news. We got a couple happy news. We got a couple happy news.

Let's do happy news. I actually don't know what happy news is this week. Oh, okay. Oh, no, I do too. I do too. Here's a former president of Kenya talking about Trump and how Trump. has eliminated foreign aid. People the other day

crying, oh, I don't know, Trump has removed money. He said he's not giving us any more money. Why are you crying? It's not your government. It's not your country. All right. It goes on for a little bit.

At the end, he says that, you know, this is a really good opportunity for us to try and use our resources better and move forward. And then the other happy news is White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt makes some huge news about changes to which outlets will be allowed into the Brady briefing room, including podcasters, bloggers, social media influencers, the media landscape folks is changing forever right in front of her eyes. The mashup should could get a White House press pass. That's right. In theory.

That's in theory. That's what I read. Like if we got that, we could go down and do it. a live stream from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Correct. We could. Wouldn't that be something? This is an idea. I think we've got to at least try. I think we've got to try. Community

notes. Tews. On this side, I think the big thing coming here, I'm going to pull it up, is Tuesday. They're doing a peaceful protest in support of Chris King at Lakeland College Women's Basketball team. What an oddly specific thing to say? Sure.

I mean, were they expecting violence? I don't know. Who knows? 12 p.m. on 1215, they say, a very specific. 12 o'clock on Tuesday at the college here in Lloydminster for the Lloydminster campus. So that's happening. May 10th Cornerstone Forum in Calgary, Alberta. Get your tickets, folks.

Yeah. I just confirmed that Evatrip is going to be attending 2's face-to-face on Friday night. That should be interesting. I got to talk to. I had a week from hell. and I'm sure George is absolutely furious with me for not getting... Nobody knows what we're talking about, but it doesn't matter. But that's okay.

February 50... Come on down. Absolutely. Come hang out with me and Eva and George. And then also Sean has a thing going on. Marty up north is going to be there too. Damn right he is. Yes, he is.

Any other community notes before we hop off? February 15th and 16th, Fish and Derby at Buffalo Lake. Over $6,000 in prizes. Well spread out. So it's not top heavy. So if you're a professional angler, it's probably not worth your time. But if you want to have some good old quality time with the fam jam out on the frozen lake catching jacks,

this is what you've been waiting for. I want to say thanks to everybody for hopping on today. We hit a new high for people tuning into the live stream live. So that's pretty cool. Yeah. And if you're new here, we do this every Friday, 10 a.m. Mountain Standard time. and I want to thank our guests today.

We had constitutional lawyer, Jeff Rath, you know, political commentator, engineer, Mernie up north. And then finally, constitutional lawyer James Ratt, James Manson joined us. And Frank Oterazano from the CTS.

So thanks to all the guests that hopped on today. Guys, thanks for tuning in. We're going to get out of here. Mashup 143 in the books. Tews until next Friday. And we'll see you then. Thanks a lot everybody Welcome to the MASHO
