Welcome to the Masha. Tell me whether I'm wrong or right. Easter west up or down side to side. I sit to stand and fall to fly. Of all of my impulsive plans, pop and locking salsa dances on demand. I follow leading off the map and stop the chatter, scream happily. Welcome to the Masha. Welcome to the Mashaup.

Welcome to the Machel. You know what Mets have been around each other too much when I say literally can you just wait a little bit? Can you wait a little bit? Can I wait a little bit? It's like we did a show last night, and we're just carrying on. Just wait, just wait for the song to play. No, you're already triggering me. Welcome to the show.

We got a great lineup. We do. Coming in this morning. How's Tews this morning, other than annoying me already? Tews feels like he's experiencing renal failure from all the Red Bulls he drank last night. So why not wake up in the morning and do it all over again? Folks, if twos dies of a heart attack, no worries. I know the land location will send people there.

That's a lot of Red Bull, dude. I'm just, you know, appreciate you. I don't know if you can drink that many Red Bull and still be healthy. You can't, actually. I know that because I used to buy it by the flat. But also, I still had some left over. And I realized when we were about to go live that I didn't get anything to drink in front of me. And I've just got these warm red Bulls.

And I'm like, all right, well, any port in a storm. So you're sticking it out with Red Bull. All right. Yeah. Okay. Well, we got a lot of fun coming today. First off, thanks for everybody hopping on.

Happy Airborne Friday, Jamie Sinclair. Shout out to you, sir. Good morning, Bonnie. Good morning. Joe Mama back. Joe Mama was with us for the whole live stream last night, and she's back again for more. Joe Mama,

are you feeling like a little bit like you've been on partying all night? Like you're, you're gonna, you know, like, I'm, I got this like, and she's not the only one. We got Zane back from all as well. Yeah, all right. Kevin and David F. Yep. Hey guys.

Well, happy Airborne Friday to the military boys, uh, Jamie Sinclair and crew. Um, if you're watching this on X, YouTube, Rumble, Facebook, I think I got them all. Um, make sure to, uh, I don't know, like, share, subscribe. twos, you got a fancy thing? You don't have a fancy thing today? I had a fancy. The problem with comedy is really fleeting. Like, you've got to be able to just write it down as you think of it.

You didn't build one for today? It's almost like you were on the show five hours last night or something. You saw it this morning? Basically. Basically. Yeah, I just hit the snooze button, barely even got up in time. It's been a shit show. Okay, well, all right.

Well, there you go, folks. There's not even get a rooster tattoo this morning. I kind of feel a little weird. You know, normally we got something. But hey, if you're watching on X, shoot us a retweet. That would be the easiest thing to do. I know you're sitting there watching X. I see you.

I see you. Shoot us a retweet. Let's get it out there and have a few extra folks watching. As always, we're here every Friday, 10 a.m. Tuesday, coot, six and a half. Do you have a story this week? I didn't see one. I don't want to skip over that before we get to Corey.

We do, but we don't. We're going to get to it a little bit later. an absolute piece of work sliced his daughter's throat and got released on bail more on that later this is this is the transgender dude from uh grandparent is that what we're talking about

yeah yeah that's a tough story that's like that's a tough story um bail yeah mashup 147 we're coming in hot uh i think we're i think we're cleared for landing not quite like that uh dei pilot that landed in Toronto I mean, just imagine, folks, you got the largest airport in your entire country and you land a plane upside down. And they don't really talk about it. Does anybody really talk about it? I know our guests today, senior Alberta columnist from the Western Standard, Corey Morgan.

I'm sure he talked about it. Corey, welcome aboard. Hey, glad to join you guys. And then we also got on a different side of the road, the Alberta director for the Canadian States. I don't think she's in a vehicle. Oh, wait, she's not. Wait a second. Did you race a hole?

Chris Sims, you made it to a hotel or something. I stayed. I stayed for you, Sean. Fair enough. I figured you'd had one car interview. That'd be enough. Actually, I would, well, I thought it was going to be a roadside roundtable. But so be it.

Folks, thanks for hopping on. I think we're going to start with budget. Yes, twos? Yeah. Okay. The government in Alberta tabled its 2025 budget on Thursday, announcing a 5.2 billion. deficit for 22, 25, 2025, 26, a projected 2.4 billion deficit in 26, 27, and a $2 billion deficit

in 2728. Who would like to jump in first? Well, I can start. I'm just thrilled that obviously the government is operating at peak efficiency because it's impossible to cut a single dollar of spending because they're spending every dollar absolutely responsibly. Thus, there was just no possible way to balance the budget because everything was essential. Nothing can be cut. I'm just starting with a rant, but I'm sick to death of this as a conservative. I'm sick to death of supporting people like, and I'm still very supportive of Premier Smith in a lot of ways. But I know the language she talked about all the way from her Harold days in the 90s and support Klein and things like that.

And then they utterly lose the courage to actually become fiscally responsible when they get in. And I'm not going to take it quietly. I'm going to hold their feet to the fire. I'm sick of it. I worked in the oil field for 20 years. I dealt with the ups and downs. And you know what you did with your household budget? If the oil prices went down, you got rid of the quad.

You got rid of the camper. You shortened your vacation. You didn't eat the steaks. You ate the pork chops. The provincial government's just acting like liberals. And I won't. I'll call it out. Chris?

I'll start with good news, although I do agree with everything Corey just said. The good news is they are delivering on their tax cuts. This is a huge income tax cut. It's going to save Alberta workers like $750 per person. You do that breakdown for a two-person working family. That's $1,500. I sat there with my calculator that'll more than cover a month's worth of groceries for a family of four or it could cover a month's rent on an apartment or a suite.

So nothing to sneeze at. So very good there. But to what Corey was saying, we agree. They really need to figure out a way to balance this budget. I was particularly concerned when I heard the finance minister say, with a pretty grim look on his face, that he sees no path back to balance. What that means in normal people talk is that they're running a deficit this year, and they have no plans to balance it for the next two years after this.

That's a problem. And so this is why the government really needs to buckle down and find savings. Like, for example, AHS, Alberta Health Services boasts that it is the biggest health care bureaucracy in all of Canada. Why is that? Are every single one of them, frontline nurses or doctors? doubt it. Why are more than 200 directors on the Alberta Sunshine list making about 160 grand per? That's costing us millions and millions of dollars. So they got to really do kind of a doge work

here on the Alberta government because their spending went up a lot. Have they ever reached out to you and said, or any government actually, ever reached out to you and said, hey, you know what? If you guys were going to trim five things, what would they look like? or what's some of the big things that, like, do you ever get inquiries about consultation, Chris? Yeah, big time. So we go back and forth with pretty much every government. It doesn't matter what color the jersey is. We have for decades.

But every director, a little bit of inside baseball, every director of the Taxpayers Federation, leading up to the budget, talks with the staff and finance in the ministry. And we produce a report. So my report, I think it's like 30 pages long or something. We make recommendations like what I just mentioned. Scrap corporate welfare, quit spending money on stupid arts projects, scrap this ridiculous idea of a bullet train to bounce that nobody asked for, and the big ticket items go through AHS.

There is a ton of money there. And I'm not convinced that every single one of these directors, like I said, is a paramedic or a surgeon or something. They might just be pushing paper for a living. find out if their role is essential. And if not, see you later. They really need to make cuts. And so, yeah, to answer your question, twos, they do ask and we do tell them.

And I will point out, their spending went up over 8%. So they have a- Year over year. Year-over-year, budget-to-budget. They went up over 8%. That is a big spending jump. I will point out the Alberta government now finally has a spending rule where they're only allowed to increase spending by the rate of inflation plus population growth or less

from the year previous. But they started off with a crazy high number. Thank you. This number is higher than Snoop Dog. The only reason why they're able to get away with this is because you've had crazy inflation and everybody and their brother is moving to Alberta for population growth. So they really got to work harder to get under this far. Corey, you've been, how many years have you been?

I don't know. I look at Chris Sims. I've rattled this off of Chris. I never like to date a woman. But a man, I'm like, you know, Corey, we're going to pull it a little bit of your experience. I'm like, how many years have you? We all know you don't want to date women, Sean.

I heard that too. Okay, okay. I know what you meant, Sean. What I meant is, like, you've been, you've been in this realm for a long time. That's what I was trying to say, you jackasses. Anyways, welcome to the show, folks. Happy Friday. when you when you watch like she's got 91.5% of her constituents or her voters saying you know or at least of the UCP like hey we love everything you're doing but then we watch this and we're like wait a second why aren't we going in and i don't know cutting some things why aren't we doing i don't know core you you've you would like i'm at times i feel like i'm still naive to all of this like i enjoyed your rant but i'm like i'm looking at this i'm going so why can't we cut some

some things. Why or have you seen different things in your time? Leaders tend to take the path of least resistance. Even if they start to come out and say, well, let's start trimming. Rest assured the lineup outside the office door of every department had to explain exactly why theirs can't be cut is and they're going to pressure and they're going to twist arms and they're going to make excuses and it's hard to resist. And, uh, you know, Premier Smith is juggling a whole pile of balls at once, uh, dealing with and and worrying about the tariffs, uh, fighting with AHS and, and, and, whatever's going on and there.

And I think sometimes you're just tired and say, you know what, I don't want to battle this person. Fine. That's not the area we're going to cut. That's not the area we're going to cut. But they also, there's always voices in their ears. Oh, my Lord, you'll lose support if you do this. And I keep reminding them.

As you said, I'm getting gray around the muzzle. I was around in the 90s with Ralph Klein. Every pundit on earth said he was committing suicide politically when he made cuts. And guess what? He increased his majority. And then he kept cutting through his second term. And they said, this is it. And the unions were literally kicking the doors at the legislature,

the protests were going wild, and he increased his majority again. Give Albertan's credit. They appreciate fiscal responsibility. If you're being smart about it and doing those cuts and explaining why you're not going to lose support. They're really going to rein in those deputy ministers and that bureaucracy and the government in general. And I got a feeling that I'm just guessing, but premiers like Smith and others, They're at a high level and they just get pushed to this, you know, tired out from trying to make those cuts and then just stick to the larger issues and let it slide. But we can't afford it.

Can I jump in there? Yeah. Just to paint a picture, like we were at the legislature yesterday and we had to go from one of the buildings to the other. And all across the front plaza, it was full of government union employees that were kicking and screaming because they're on strike and they want more money as usual. We don't have a lot of use for government unions. And frankly, I know a lot of people that work within government unions that don't have a lot of use for them because they haven't defended their workers worth anything, especially the last few years. All that said, there was a ton of people out there in purple shirts kicking and screaming. When I went through there and wove my way to get to the legislature, they started yelling, shame, shame, because they could see my jacket.

Don't care. So get in there. They're doing- T-TF jacket, presumably? My CETMia. Yeah, my taxpayers jacket. You know, try me. Just try me.

So nobody tried me. So that was good. I get into the legislature and they're doing scrums right there with the mainstream media in the rotunda about the budget and about spending. The tone, guys, you would think that Danielle Smith was standing there actively drowning kittens based on how these people were talking. Oh, the cuts. Oh, the lack of spending.

Like, am I on crazy pills? They have increased spending in pretty much every. known department. It's gone up by nearly $5 billion. And so this, to add to Corey's point, this is part of the narrative inertia that Smith is dealing with all the time. And that's why it's important for independent voices to yell real loud and tell Smith, no, double down, make those cuts. Make those cuts. Ignore Nahit Nenshi, who needed a hall pass to get into the building, by the way, and glared at me while was on the phone. That's right. Oh, he did. He gave me big stink eye in the stairwell. I was doing a hit on the radio and he saw me. He's like, mm, whatever. Cut taxes.

It would be so easy for legacy media, just a quick, you know, fact checking. That's the trendy term for now and everything else. So while Nenshi was up there bloviating about the budget and he did say repeatedly that there were cuts, just one reporter, just one to say, which cuts? That's all they had to say, because there aren't any. Just asking which cuts. And they wouldn't. They didn't. They didn't. They just accepted his word is gospel that apparently Smith has been going through there with a saber, even though the numbers in the budget don't justify it. Legacy media is failing people terribly. We're in a position of flux. We're moving to independent outlets like this and others. But still, a lot of people get their news from that legacy media. And they are not taking their role of holding government accountable seriously anymore. And it's really troubling.

Is the NDP still blocking Western Standard from their? Oh, yeah. People will talk to us. All right. I know it's been an ongoing thing. I didn't know if it had been resolved or anything like that. Oh, yeah. I mean, the reason why is because you would ask that.

Yeah, they pitch questions. He won't acknowledge anybody from the Western Standard. So you're just yelling at the air. With a few minutes left here, is there anything else, you know, like this budget? You know, you mentioned Chris right up the hop. A bit of a plus on some money. coming to some different families, et cetera, the Alberta residents, sorry.

Is there anything else in the budget that stuck out to either of you where you're like, oh, people should know about X? Yeah, real quick, again, it's so easy. It's funny because you're dealing with a massive budget, where you're dealing with tens of billions of dollars of sending. But the people who are putting this together are still human beings and they can get spooked. So I would describe the feeling in the room as nervous and spooked yesterday. largely because of the U.S. President Donald Trump-shaped cloud that is hanging over the province.

And just before we got the documents, he posted on social media, actually I'm going to impose the tariffs real soon, like moved up the deadline. And so you can see the rattle on their face. And it isn't just an excuse because, of course, Alberta relies largely on resource revenue. And if they nail us with a tariff that, of course, is going to cut into their books. So we do understand that part, but again, their spending is not reined in. Spending control needs to be there. Like, for example, if they had just not cut, if they had frozen spending at last year's budget level, we would have a billion dollar surplus. We'd still have an income tax cut and they'd still have money for wiggle room left over.

So I think it's important for all of us to get this government to overcome the mainstream media narrative in this ridiculousness coming out of Nenshi and say, no, no, we need to actually restrain ourselves, find savings, and make cuts to government. We need to kind of overthrow and reverse this narrative. Any final thoughts, Corey, before we let you out? Just a, you know, a bit of a positive in a sense. They were responsible with their estimations of oil prices. I mean, governments in the past, I was going to ask about that. Yeah, they guessed it about what, 6850, I think, or something like that, which is kind of right in the middle where most estimates are. A lot the government's like to lowball it so they look like heroes later when the budget comes in higher

or they overestimate to make their budget look good at the immediate term when later on it ends up flopping so i mean one thumbs up i'll give them they were responsible they didn't try to pull the wall over anybody's eyes and they budgeted at least based as well as you could possibly guess on resource revenues so uh thumbs up to that yep that part was really responsible and you again i think that leads into kind of the nervousness right the feeling in the room where they're like we don't know what's going to happen so let's be really prudent so that would a really good plus too. Corey, Chris.

Moderately prudent. Appreciate you. Appreciate you squaring away some time. Corey's sitting on the side of the road. Chris stayed at her place of wherever. Chief Hodel in downtown Edmonton. Let's not sure you're going to. Yeah, there you go.

Always great having you. Corey, it's. I'm glad it finally happened. It's been way overdue. Yeah. Yeah, it's been a bit happy to be here. Thanks, guys. Perfect.

Thanks, guys. And we appreciate it. Look forward to. to the next time you're on. You bet. All right. Chris Sims, Corey Morgan,

we're going to hop rate to our next guest. We get the president of Calgary Lougheed, Darrell Comic, sit in the background. Darrell, morning. Good morning.

How's everybody? Yeah, well, I think, I mean, we're off to the races this morning. I was just listening in on the review of the budget. I thought it was incredibly accurate.

And I don't know how we do a tax cut cut on one hand and still run a deficit on the other. I'm not really sure how that works. Not enough tax cuts. You got to go deeper. Slash, slash, slash, slash. Or maybe we could just do zero-based budgeting, you know, start from what we need and identify the issues and then go from there as opposed to just existing everything and then topping it up.

I think that's probably fair. And as well, my thoughts are that I see, I see governments as a whole erring on the side of caution. Let's not take the chance on cutting more than we need to cut. Yeah. And I would say, let's try and cut more than we need to cut. And if there's any unforeseen instances later on, then, okay, yeah, we can, we could give, you know, oh, yeah, sure. I guess we do need to spend $20 million on this, right? But, but if you cut more than you think you should, you'll be pleasantly surprised from time to time. Well, when you have a business budget, you know, you're going to budget between 10 and 12 percent for your administration and your cost of what's going on. So in Alberta, we have

$452 billion in GDP. So if you actually compared what you should be spending to how much you would allocate in a corporation, you know, that budget should be somewhere around $52 billion. So as president of a constituency

association for the governing party, where's the discrepancy? I think it's about choices. You know, I mean, clearly, you know, there's a lot of principled conservatives who would say, hey, look, it's not that we're willing, not willing to have social programs. It's just a, it's a matter of where are we spending and what are the priorities. And

everybody tops up all the time. They never really start over. So it's, it's sad to see in a lot of ways, I think that the membership, I heard Corey Morgan make the comment that, you know, conservatives in Alberta really want to see good government. And good government means fiscal risk, fiscally responsible government. And we believe in charity and we believe in all the important things of building a strong society. But it's tough to make the cuts because there's a lot of voices that aren't elected sitting around the tables. And those voices carry a lot of weight because they're the guys that carry the bags and get the work done. So you've got to pick your fights. And I think the tricky part with budgeting is that it really is, it's a battle of wills.

We look at the United States right now. It's a battle of wills. They just happen to be set up in a different structural way to have that fight. And we're not really set up here in Alberta to have the fight. If I may, boys, we just got our second guest that we've been, I assume, waiting on, Emily for Calgary-Lahid, Eric Bouchard going to hop in as well. Eric, thanks for hopping on this morning. Absolutely. Good morning, everyone. Morning, Eric. Meet a few days late, hi. No, no worries. Appreciate you hopping in. Chance, I want to, you know, one of the things that you got coming up here rapidly is, going to be the injection of truth healing humanity Monday night.

I don't know. I guess I just want to, I'll start with Eric. I think two, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm curious, you know, what is that you've done, we, you both have done this event once. Now it's the second one. Have, uh, have you gotten, what's the support been like and what's the pushback been like on the, the second go around of this? Well, there's been, uh, there's,

There's more support privately. There is still pushback because it's, you know, it's an uncomfortable topic, unfortunately. But it's, there's a lot more. There is, I think after the first one came, came some questions, some uncomfortability. It puts some people out of their comfort zone because this is something. And unfortunately, it's a topic that a lot of people want to have in the rear view mirror. And I think what we're doing is just keeping it, keeping it up there because there are still so many people that, you know, need this to need this to be discussed, you know. And with Dr. Davidson's report, I think it certainly gives a lot of people hope again, which is something that has been long overdue.

Have there, I know the NDP has been very vocal in their criticism, I mean of everything, conservative, everything, libertarian, everything's sort of transparency, honesty, and especially with things like this. Have there been any NDP people who just kind of privately be like, look, I like what you're doing. It's okay. Everything's good. You keep going with it.

And then be like, you're such a jerk. It's more of the you're such a jerk. Radical spreader of misinformation. You know, you're killing grandma, all the things we've heard over the years. One has privately reached out and discussed a personal vaccine injury, but that was the extent of it. There's been no more conversation, unfortunately.

And I did invite them to the town hall, and they politely declined. But there are, you know, there are cracks. There are, and it's beginning. And I think we need to push on. We need to, you know, we, instead of referring it to misinformation and disinformation, this is more information. You know, this is the information that was, we could have used five years ago. We didn't have the data.

We didn't have this knowledge. But with this information now, let's discuss the information. Let's bring it to the table. And this is the conversation, in my opinion, that should have been happening four or five years ago. when governments across the globe essentially decided to shut us down. Well, now we have the information, so let's bring it to the table and talk about it.

Darrell, how many, well, A, I'll let you walk through some of the speakers, but the other thing I was wondering from a constituency standpoint, can't spit that out, is how many, like, has the support from the UCP side increased, decreased. And then if you want to walk through some of the speakers for people, I think that would probably be beneficial as well. You know, thanks for the question, because the amount of support that we're getting from our UCP

constituency associations has exploded. I mean, we list 11 on the website as sponsors. And it's really something to see the unity amongst the people having the conversations. And this is what Eric is saying is that we don't claim to have the answers. We just would like to have some information. I mean, the Premier called us the contrarian view. That was the Davidson report. And the interesting thing about having a conversation is you often need two sides of the conversation.

We don't know the facts. And because of that, we brought people that would have science, not rhetoric, not paid for propaganda, but actual science. And so when you get people like Danny Rancourt, who he's a professor from the University of Ottawa, he's a physicist. I mean, the guy is great with numbers. He's tabulated the issues globally. and he will actually break down the impacts of the mandates and COVID, right down to the oil patch, and he will call spade shovels,

and he will give us the actual data. And then when you get a doctor like Dr. David E. Martin, I mean, this is the guy who knows more about patents than anybody that we've seen. I mean, he was the one who identified the owner of the lipid nanoparticle, Arbutus pharmaceuticals, and how that traced back to, you know, a questionable foundation here in Canada. So when we get the facts, David Speaker, Dr. David Speaker, his work on SV40 and fragments of DNA, it's amazing. And Dr. Beram Bridal, when you look at these scientists, I mean, they've been knocked down.

People have tried to take them out intellectually. They try to take away their careers just for speaking additional information, more information that doesn't fit with the narrative. And quite frankly, I don't know why it doesn't fit with the narrative. And we see the narrative being blocked all the time. So out there, our support continues to grow. I mean, when we did the very first injection of truth, that we had three sponsors, now we have 11. And when we speak with party members, they say, hey, let's have the conversation at the very least to find out where we're going. This time, we've been a little bit more emphatic on our ask.

The first time we were subtle and we had an off-ramp and we had basically got six of the world's best scientists on the topic of the issue of the day. And now we're just saying, look, we want us to suspend MRNA vaccinations for children, for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, because we don't have the signs to say that they're safe and effective. And Dr. Bridal will actually show through government documentation that it was never claimed, the shot was never claimed to be safe and effective for pregnant mothers. And that was never offered by Health Canada. That was never offered by the public health organization or agency of Canada. Therefore, when we were promoting it as safe and effective, what does that mean?

What is the impact of false advertising? So we'll get into it. Dr. Davidson. We'll talk about the report itself, the recommendations. This recommendation is in there. Also the recommendation for a judicial inquiry so he could actually. actually subpoena people to answer questions. There's a lot of data blocking that occurs with the H.S.

And so given everything that goes on there, and I don't really have a crystal ball to say what's going on at the H.S, but clearly the government's over the target because the fight back is vicious. And they try to debilitate the government when in fact, we need better health, we need better access, we need better use of our money, we need better validation of how our money is spent.

Then we'll get Jeffrey Rath, he'll come. He'll talk about the updates with the Rath Rant. And Dr. Joni Loo, she's going to talk about the emotional, how to deal with the emotional trauma that people have. Because what we've done with this particular event is it's based on healing. And so the first thing is we have to acknowledge that there's a problem. Second thing is we have to know all the information that's out there that we can possibly know. Then we have to have an emotional way of dealing with the emotional trauma that everyone's feeling.

And finally, you know, how do we make people whole? How do we deal with that? And so we'll add that all together. Sean Buckley, he'll be there from NCI just to give us an update. So it's going to be a jam-packed day. And a lot of folks, you know, they're saying, well, I'm not near Calgary. Well, we're just about sold out in tickets. We have some politics and popcorn tickets that are available where the public can actually

come and speak, ask their question one-on-one with the doctors. So you can do it online. And that's a great way. We have amazing production that will have. have, people can go to our website, Injection attruth.ca. And we have streaming parties. We have them all across. In fact, there's many up, there's one up in Lloydminster. If you're up in Lloydminster, we have them in Sherwood Park.

We have them in Peace River. We have them in Grand Prairie. So there's like 14 or 16 viewing parties that are happening across Alberta. And it's tremendous to see the support that we get. And very often people, the comment that we get back is that thank you for doing this because no one is talking about the conversation. I've been hurt, my family's been hurt, my business has been decimated. How do I have any resolve without the acknowledgement that there is a problem?

And that's really what happened is people feel gaslit by what's going on. And it's constant. It's just that blocking. It's the denial. And, you know, Albertans are really tired of that. I mean, last time we did this event, we had people from 13 countries watching. We're live streaming in Denmark. We're live streaming in Australia.

So this topic is global. We just happen to have an MLA who is strong enough to say, hey, let's have the conversation. We don't have the facts, but let's at least have the conversation. I was just going to say, just on the live streaming internationally, like it's one thing to check it out. You know, it's one thing to maybe download it later. But to get up in the middle of the night in Australia to watch this.

Yeah. That shows you how rare. It is for any government to talk about the biggest issue under the sun, or am I wrong on that? I mean, I got to realize that Daniel Smith was the one that commissioned the report with Dr. Davidson. It was the government. I mean, we happen to be a constituency association with a sitting MLA of the government. So that combination in and of itself just allows us to be credible, but also to understand that we have a responsibility to do it right and not to overstate the,

the position as well. Eric, any final thoughts before we let you out of here? I appreciate you guys giving us a quick few minutes this morning to update us on Monday. I think actually, if I may, Daryl, you said there are still tickets. So if somebody wants to come to Calgary, they can buy tickets still? Yes, they can. They sure can. I mean, we just had someone yesterday flying from Overton, Kansas.

I have no idea where Overland, Kansas is. but they're flying up to the event. They saw it online and they have to be there. And we have another couple driving from Camloops. I mean, people come from all over because they want to feel the energy in the room. I mean, yeah, we have great production qualities. But the idea of being in the room with so many people to ask questions,

it's really a rewarding experience. I can absolutely see that. I mean, same kind of idea with it. It's great to watch a musician, but seeing a concert's completely different feet. And I'll say it again, it's so very rare, and I'll just speak to Canada for a constituency, part of the government to open up this conversation. It's very rare. Any final thoughts, Eric, before we let you out here, we do appreciate you giving the show some time this morning.

And to anyone looking to grab tickets, I'll put in the comments. I'll share the website here shortly. But Eric, any final thoughts before we let you out of here? Yeah, absolutely. I'll leave you with a quick story. So we've got a very, very motivated constituency association, which Darrell is the president of. And we take a group out every second Saturday and go door knocking in the constituency just to get the pulse on on whatever it is that people are concerned about. Last Saturday I was out one of the last doors knocked on it. The guy answered the door. And he looked at me. He said, religion. I shook my head no. He said, sales. I said, no, not unless you want to purchase a Bible. And he kind of chuckled. So I got his guard down. He opened the door. We talked a little bit. I introduced myself and he said, I'm turned off. I'm not into politics at all. And I said, well, neither. You know, I never was until it really, really mattered to me.

So we talked a little bit more. And long story short, I got home that night, sent him the link to injection of truth and he's purchased a couple tickets. So just to give to give people hope that there is, you know, we're, we're, we're cracking at the door and people, people are asking questions. We don't have the answers, but we're bringing, bringing more questions to the table. And it's, it's long overdue that we, we talk about this. Daryl, any final thoughts? We're just like the support of everybody that's listening to your podcast and to

others it it's a lot of work on our end there's a lot of risk to doing it because the risk is speaking out as people they just go crazy I mean you saw that on the ledge grounds yesterday I mean the the opposition to finding the truth is so grand and so somewhere you know philosophically almost think is it is it good versus evil and the experience on our side is that there are way more good people out there if they're just willing to stand up and to not have fear. And fear itself is what's really stopping a lot of our success as a society, because the vocal few are vicious. And we see this constantly. But you have to realize that there is not just a silent majority, but a majority that's awakened to reality. And they are

willing to stand up for it, to stand up for the truth and to support those who are willing to lead and to be out there. I applaud Eric and the heat that he takes, being in inside government to do that and to all of our volunteers. I mean, we have like 150 volunteers who make it possible. We'll see you, Sean, there, and we'll see so many others. And it's just, it's kind of like a convention to rejuvenate and like Eric says, give people hope. And hope is something that, you know, we can't live on it forever, but we certainly have to fuel ourselves until we can get to some success.

Darrell, Eric, appreciate you hopping on this morning and giving us some time. Thanks very much, gentlemen. And all the best. Well, I mean, as you point out, Darrell, I'll see you, boy, soon enough to all the lovely listeners out there. My mug will be on stage a few times. I like it, call it handing off the baton, because I try not to talk a whole lot. But appreciate the honor of getting asked again to be on stage and look forward to seeing you

both again in person. But either way, thanks for hopping on today and giving us some time this. morning. Thank you all so very much. Absolutely. Thanks, guys. Appreciate it. All right. There you go. Emily, Eric Bouchard, and then obviously the president of Calgary Laude, Darryl Comics. So that's pretty cool, uh, twos. You know, we're getting a long list of MLAs who've been on this show. And Eric, first time Eric's been on, which is super cool. Actually, first time Darrell's been on too. So, um, a lot going on there. Uh, if you

haven't bought tickets or live stream. I put the email, the website in the comments. So people can find it there. If you're listening to this on the podcast, you can also text me. I can, I can send you links that way too. But that is Monday night. So that's coming up like real freaking fast. Yeah.

All right. Let's move on to the next guest. Yes. Okay. Is Jeff, we're going to pull you in. Jeff, are you there? Yes. I just, I have the camera off.

I don't want to out my work. I'm kind of afraid that I could do that. Okay. No, no worries, Jeff, at all. Now, you've got to tell us the story. All we know you on line is Hong Kong Fooey. All were Tuesday, we were talking about it. And it looks like, you know, the crown wants you put you in jail for a year.

But maybe you could just expand on this story for us. Sure. So what happened was during COVID, I started going to the protests, the anti-lockdown protests and everything in Calgary. And then one day we found out that a church, Grace Life Church in Edmonton's Bruce Grove, the RCMP were putting a fence around it to keep out two dozen parishioners

who wouldn't stop going to church. So we started going up there every weekend. I'd get off work on Friday. I'd go up Friday, stay Friday night, stay Saturday, stay Saturday night, and go back home Saturday, Sunday at the end of the day with a few friends from Twitter. And the crowd started getting bigger, started out about 20 people.

It started getting to around 200 people, the protesters, showing up to protest the RC&P putting the fence up. And then the RCMP present started just, you know, getting wild. And they would have, I have video of all this too, right? They had about 200 officers there. They had two helicopters. They had armored cars, dogs, two command posts. I was filing Freedom of Information Acts to see how much they were actually spending on this operation.

And the FOIs that I got back, everything was blacked out except the overtime per day. I have the FOIs. It's actually on my GIFS and Go profile picture. And it shows that they were spending $110,000 per day on overtime alone. So they spent millions and millions of dollars in the month that they were up there every weekend doing this. and it seemed like they were kind of looking to get an arrest. So one day I'm about 100 yards away from the fence interviewing someone, and this is all on video again, I could send you all these videos,

and I noticed that people are trying to take the fence down. So I run over and just to see what's going on and filming in everything, and guys are trying to take the fence down, the RCNP here on the other side, trying to pull the fence back up. This went on for about five minutes, cooler heads prevailed, It stopped. Everyone walked away. The protest went on.

The RC&P didn't really say anything. This is on a Saturday. And then the next day, they pulled me out of the crowd of all the protesters and arrested only me and charged me with mischief and obstruction of justice. So I wasn't saying anything. They put me in the car. They took me to the Spruce Grove detachment. There, the RCMP officer told me that if I tell who some of the other people were, give their name and numbers, and contact info that I could walk out, Scott Free, no charges, no one would ever know it was here, basically.

And I refused that. And then they finished booking me. I took about an hour to book me. I left. I went back to my hotel. I went back to Calgary the next day, and I had court appearances. So then I had a lawyer from Twitter for free handling these court cases. So I had about seven or eight tickets that were a thousand.

to $2,000 for going to these anti-lockdown protests. I moved a fence one time in Calgary so all of our protesters could go into the spot and hold our protest because the police had put a fence up around the night before. They arrested me for that also, the Calgary police and gave me a $200 fine for that. Now, everything was good. I was told by the lawyer that I'm done, everything's done. I don't have to go to court anymore, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. blah, and everything was fine for three and a half years.

And then all of a sudden, I was arrested. The cops came to my house in Calgary. I mean, I had police detectives coming to my house once a week during COVID. So they all know where I live, right? And they came and they said, hey, you have charges you haven't dealt with. And I said, okay. And I was like, well, what do we do? And I said, we have to arrest you.

We're not allowed to let you go. So they took me to Calgary jail for the night. this was at about 8 p.m. The next morning I saw a judge. No one in it, they said, I have to still go for these charges. I didn't go to court for them. But I have the paperwork.

I could show you this also. There was no charges for not showing up in court. The only charges that I got three weeks ago after my night in jail were the two original charges in Edmonton, mischief and obstruction of justice. Now, I still haven't got my disclosure, so I don't know, exactly everything that's going on.

I've sent four or five emails to four or five different places. I've called four or five different places and I've gone to the Crown Prosecutor's Office in Calgary and no one can get my disclosure for me. This obstruction of justice, presumably that's for not dropping the dime on everybody? No, that's for allegedly taking the fence down, obstructing the RC&P operation of taking the fence down. That's literally the opposite of obstructing. right so it's bizarre i i wish i had more clarity for you i will know more as soon as i get my disclosure i have a lawyer uh that's going to take on my case if i can raise enough funds and

i'm pretty close to being there i'm about 60% there now so i'm guessing hopefully by monday he will be able to uh to actually take me on like he says and then he can get my disclosure for me Do you have a, sorry, do you have a link that we can share with the audience? Or if you send it to Tuse, he can put it in the chat here. It doesn't have to be, I mean, if you have it right now, that'd be great. He did actually here. Yes, I already did. Oh, and I'm going to.

Sorry, Tews can put it in the, in the, in the comments. That way people want to, want to donate they can. So it's all very strange. And like I say, I wish I had more answers, definite answers for you. but I really don't know what's going on yet, to be honest. I can't wait to get to disclosure and see what's happening. But I embarrassed the RCMP big time up there. So I put out a tweet one day when the RC&P were coming out of the church,

coming to the fence. And there was about a hundred of them, roughly. And I posted that, and big accounts from all over the world were saying, what is going on? Why do you guys have all this authority to keep two dozen people at a church? And it was embarrassing for it. them. I know it was. And I think that's why I got singled out. Like, I really don't know why. Of all the people that were there, and again, I have a video showing that I was at least 100 yards away from

the fence when the people were starting to take it down when I started running over to film it. I can prove this. So I have no idea why I'm the guy. But yeah, I just, uh, I, it's, you know, stress that I didn't eat. I thought everything was done. I went to court for everything else, all my tickets, everything else that I got, and I had everything else dropped. And I thought this was dropped. Now it's not dropped. Now apparently I'm a criminal. I was never in trouble before 2021, and I haven't been in trouble since.

So it's not like I'm a criminal out there trying to, you know, just break the law. I think when it comes to mischief charges in this country, it's pretty fairly well accepted at this point that mischief charges aren't laid on actual criminals. It's a fancy code word for embarrassed the people in charge. Well, the RCMP officer that offered me to squeal on everybody, he said, you know, in the Criminal Code of Canada, if you commit mischief and someone gets hurt in that act, you can face life in prison. And I said, no way.

And he brought it right up on the phone, and you can Google it right now, bring it up. And it's true. If you commit mischief in Canada and someone gets hurt, you possibly could face a life sentence. So did somebody get hurt? No, nobody got hurt. No, nobody got hurt.

Yeah, I'm good with that. It's funny, it's funny because I look at this, and I'm not an expert on legal proceedings. But I feel like you ought to be able to just walk in there and be like, Judge, I think we all know this is gay and retarded. And then the stonographer looks at you, and he'd be like, no, no, no, I said what I said. Go with it. And then, and then be like, look, they're mad because we didn't bow. the knee and that's it so if there's a charge for not bowing the knee if there's you know an illegal straight knee charge that you could have go for it otherwise this is just using your job and your

role of government to personally punish me and i just i find it absolutely baffling that that we even allow these proceedings to go on and take as much time whether it's coots whether it's Tamara and Chris in Ottawa or whether it's people like you now. Right. You know, all joking aside, if I didn't start a go send me gets and go and try to get a lawyer, I probably would have wound up doing more time than anybody except for the Coots guys. Because if they did sentence me to a year, I figured I would do four to six months or so roughly. You know, it's just, it's absolutely crazy.

So I will send you the F-O-Is that I was filing again in every day. showing only the overtime being spent. $110,000 a day. The lowest amount in overtime per day was $110,000. They spent roughly, I don't know, anywhere 5 to $10 million on this operation. This could be one of the- Just for the fence around the church. This could be one of the biggest operations in our CMP history

just to keep two dozen parishioners out of a church. They wanted arrest. They needed a rest to justify spending all this money. Please go in and try and file some of that. and see how much they actually spent on this. Also, two days after I was arrested in Calgary, I was at a mosque and I have the video where at least a thousand people were in attendance at this mosque and that was fine. And I could give you the reasons why they told me that was fine, but it takes a few minutes. But so, so they were allowed to do that. I think we all know

the reason why it was fine. Roger that, right? You know, it's all just as, Absolutely ridiculous. And, you know, I was kind of looking forward to defending myself to go in and make a mockery of it until I found out they wanted jail time. Then I started getting a little worried about it. That's kind of the point. Right. Any final thoughts, Jeff, before we let you off? No.

I mean, if you guys want to help out, like I say, I'm going to, I need, my lawyer said, not my lawyer yet, the guy who might be my lawyer said it would be about 3,000. to 5,000, that should take it from start to end, but shouldn't be any more expenses. If it does, he wouldn't drop it on me like, hey, you'll be 10 grand. He'd say, hey, we might need another thousand, blah, blah, blah, blah. If people wanted to donate, that would be great. Any money that's left over from that, I am going to donate it. I'm actually going to take my cat Pierre Perliev to ban for a day, to take him for a walk through the mountains, and then the rest of it is going to be donated to a charity that helps children

of my choice. I'm not giving it to the fucking we charity Steel Burger Brothers. I'm giving it to a church that will find a family that needs help. Because everyone in Canada needs help right now, right? You can see the worry on people's faces when you're walking down the street. But that's, you know, what you were saying before the sorry, hope. I didn't want to become internet

famous. I was doing the stuff I was doing really, I wanted to try and give people hope. I wanted to try and let people know that we didn't have to back down. We didn't have to just take all the crap. All the stuff that I did, I was just really trying to make people last or try and give them hope. Cool. Well, we appreciate you coming on here. Thank you very much.

We'll try and steer some people to your Twitter handle. They're asking about that. What is your Twitter handles? It's at Fooey's Fosters. I can't remember exactly how it's felt. You'd have to look it up quick. I used to foster kitties in your Brunswick. Those Fooey's Fosters.

Cool. All right. We'll toss it in the show notes for the audience. appreciate you giving us some time this morning, Jeff. Any more clarity if you want? Let me know. I'm hoping by Monday I'll have the lawyer, but anything, you know,

just ask me, to the best of my knowledge, my recollection, I will tell you the 100% truth all the time. Perfect. Appreciate it, Jeff. Thank you. Thank you.

Have good day, guys. You too. All right, Tews. It has been a fast-paced first 51 minutes. And now you know what I'm going to try and do to you for the next 30. That's right. Time to hit the gas pedal. time to go full twos. Let's go rapid fire news.

Fire this thing up. Okay. Where are we starting? Carney? You want to start Carney? Sure. We can start with Carney. Well, I don't know where to, there's so many things here. Liberal leadership candidate, Mark Carney says he was no longer the chair of a major investment company when the formal decision was made, but he was actually was. He was on the company guy who proposed it. Right. And so here's, we got this video from, so Pollyev talks about this. I'm going to show this video here real quick. I get the fact that we're trying to move through this stuff, but this is an important video to watch. This is John Wilkinson, a liberal member of parliament.

What I would say is, um, irrespective of this particular instance, anyone who knows anything about business knows that boards actually have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders. I don't, I wasn't in the room. I don't know what the conversations were, but I know Mr. Carney is a man of very high ethics. Okay, that's all we need basically from that. So fiduciary duty means that you have to do what's economically responsible. And it changes a little bit from Canada to the states. So in Canada, it's to the shareholders and in the states it's to the company. But it essentially works out to more or less the same thing is that as an executive in a company, you have a legal obligation to make decisions for the company that make economic sense.

And under that auspice, Mark Carney personally recommended and voted for moving Brookfield from Canada to the United States. Correct. She's cut dry. Not to mention this video literally says, Carney says, I wasn't part of it. This guy's saying he was in,

like Carney was in the room. You should just go ask. Carney was the guy who put it forward. I know. I got. guy who voted on it and then he decided to try and walk it back later which was stupid which is classic liberal

but the thing about it is is that the liberals have done such a shit job of things that he as a board member for this company had a legal duty to move the company out of Canada

that's how bad things are the next one the next one is this he he claimed to personally help balance 1998 federal budget, though he was a student at Oxford at the time. Yeah. So, A, he was still going to university. B, it was in a different country on the other side of the pond.

And so then now you've got all of these people pop up. Yeah, I'm going to pull it up. I'm going this is the greatest, the greatest thread right now going. All you got to do is search hashtag Carney lies. And it's an actual, the first one's an actual photo of Mark Carney when he was a student at Beijing, Polytechnic. and then it just like just just Mark Carney single-handedly rescues Gilligan's Island

this one's good Mark Carney just uploaded himself running across Canada says he's finished what Terry Fox couldn't Mark Carney actually single-handedly built the Great Wall of China like it just goes on and on scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll,

there's him with the theory of relativity, helping out Gene Hackman, sign of the Declaration of Independence. It just If this guy wins our next election, twos, if this guy wins our next election, it is totally rigged, they totally stolen,

calling it right now. This is the beauty. This is the beauty of AI now is that Grock made all of these images and he made them all hilarious. So, yeah, that's where Mark Carney is at right now.

Mark's Carney was once married to French president, Emmanuel Macaron. You'd think. his French would be better. Okay. Now, a lot of people are probably expecting us to chime in on the liberal debate this past week and how that went. And I just want to go ahead and say that it sucked and they all sucked.

And none of them pushed back on each other. There were no good questions asked. And it is a waste of our time to cover it. If you want to hear somebody else get into it, you go for it. I don't give nearly enough shits because they're all completely entertained. All right. Rats fleeing the ship and jumping on the ship. I'm going to combine the two because we talk about it a different, but rats get back on the sinking ship of the week.

In one breath, you have an article talking about the current time of press, 355 liberal MPs of 153 of announced their intention not to run. But then we also have what's her pick twos? It's somewhere down to my own. Anita Annand. Thank you, Anita Annan. Has actually been like, oh, you know what, wait, I kind of think I changed my mind. I think I'm going to run a transport minister.

Yeah. So basically when incumbents quit, generally speaking, it's because they're looking at the face of a lost election. They don't have anything to gain from going out of the personal cost of running again. She's now in the classic like dumb and dumber. So you're telling me there's a chance. And so they're actually starting to look, you know, when we talked about this last week and we said, look, regardless of,

of what the polls are saying. If the people who stand to gain from the change in polls are still like, fuck this, I'm not going anywhere near it. Then that says a lot about their reelection chances. And now some of those people are like, are starting. Oh, just kidding. Just kidding.

I was just, that was a great prank. Hey, that was a great. Can I get back on this? Can I get back in front of this taxpayer trough for another four years? And so that, that makes things interesting.

Speaking of taxpayers, uh, Doge has been getting rid of it. And one of the things, here's Louis CK, I like this. This was an interesting tweet. I've said many times that I'm always, I am always going to be critical of everything, left or right. I always give praise when praise is due. Sounds like the CTF, to be honest.

This Doge website with full transparency is amazing. We used to have to read through bills or government docs to try and figure out what is happening. Otherwise, have to trust media at face value. Regardless if I agree with what is being cut or added, list every single thing one by one, is how it should be done more of this plays Doge. And if you pull up the second screenshot and you scroll into it, it lists out what they've been cutting. Department of Education terminated 18 grants to comprehensive centers,

$226 million. IRS rescinded previously planned contract, $1.9 billion. Here we go. Let's go up a couple here. The funding for World Economic Forum Initiatives, $52 million. you can biodiversity conservation and social responsibility

in Columbia $25 million it's just listing them out and that's exactly what we need and I love the fact that Doge is basically setting the benchmark here how many times have I said on the mashup that every single

goddamn penny that isn't black ops that our government spends should be on a spreadsheet where you can just search by categories and you can filter by this and you should be able to go around and just check it all out and compile the data however you want to come up with whatever conclusions you possibly can rather than having to foep at all. Foype, foep, foy, poip, poip, no, the default should be that you just download the spreadsheet.

Ryan, all that gets cut around here is two's Mike. Okay, well, Ryan's been kicked off the show, deleted. All right, but here's... I think he's making fun of me. Isn't he? I take that as the only thing you got to do. is your, and maybe I'm not. Who do you make a butt of Ryan?

I think he likes the fact that two's mic gets cut. But here's thing is, is the fact that Doge is like everything we cut, you're going to be able to look at it, you're going to be able to track it all. Everything we're doing happens in broad daylight. Charlie Angus, you got 10 seconds, quick. Okay, look at this. This is fucking beauty. So Charlie Angus wants to kick Elon, revoke Elon Musk's citizenship because there's nothing.

the NDP hate more than having the common man know how the fucking money gets spent. And he's there with this ridiculous fucking Batman the animated series villain outfit or hair haircut. And I'd said it looks like Jacobin Mugatu had a baby with the mayor of Whoville. But then everybody else pointed out that, you know, it's Dracula. And it totally is. and as far as life-sucking ghouls go, the NDP are basically on brand for that. You could show the video.

Actually, you show the video of Ford. I'm going to talk, you bring up the board video. I went past it. If you missed all last night, we spent five hours covering the Ontario election. Let me tell you, it was a snoozer. The show wasn't a snoozer, but the election was a snoozer.

Ontario's castor ballots reelecting Doug Ford's PCs with a historic third majority. Nobody's happy about it. Nobody cared. Nobody gave a shit. But we had a very fun and interesting spring of conversations. We did. Five hours long.

We were the number three. We beat CP 24. We beat the shit out of BNN. There was some local thing in Ontario that I didn't know, some random acronym or some random letters, media. And then we also beat global. The only people, oh, and we beat the national. CBC for some reason had two different live shows on it. had the national and then they had their main one.

So we beat the national. We beat CP 24. We beat global. We beat BNN. We were number three. The CBC main one and CTV had more people tuning in than we did from 2,000 miles away. We were the number three most watched live coverage of that. And for once, I agree with CBC news.

I can't believe I'm saying that. Oh, I wanted to point out how stupid they are. So this is going to be fun. Oh. Go ahead. I guess I read Doug Ford's victory came as a result of a ruthless focus on the one issue capturing the minds of Canadians right now a leader who worked relentlessly to make most of his opportunity in perfect political timing. I completely disagree with that analysis. It's stupid.

It's trying to just protect. It's trying to protect the leftist. The only reason is trying to protect the leftist? Yes. Yes. Okay. Why did Doug Ford win? Because the NDP are not a serious party.

And because the liberals ran a shit campaign, they sucked. Their only competition was absolute garbage. It's not, here's the thing, is if you're a dwarf and you're a little bit of midgets, you're still the tallest person. You don't like, you don't like, you don't like the word ruthless focus and relentlessly in there. It has nothing to do. It was, I, my brain, it's funny.

You know, my, my brain literally picked out. He had an opportunity, correct. And it was perfect political timing. correct and he did it that's what my brain read and I'm like yeah that's I actually agree with he had no competition here's the thing and that's what that's perfect timing he literally went I'm not I'm putting it right now I'm gonna do it right now but if you this is the thing that's going to set us off today I will skate on those tiny little children and I will embarrass the fuck out of them but that does not mean I'm a good hockey player I can't believe the one thing we're going to talk

over today is what we actually did yesterday at a CBC thing. Oh, man. There was nobody else to choose. Okay. Here's the thing, Sean. Generally speaking, when somebody sides with the CBC, are they or are they not being a goddamn idiot? This time, I just agreed with it. He seized

on his opportunity. Yes, the NDP is a joke. Yes, the liberals didn't run because of any of those reasons. They won because the liberals and the NDP fucking stopped. They seize their opportunity. Why didn't he call this a year from now then? Why did he call it right now? That was the opportunity. That's why he

That's why he called it. The reason why he won. It was an opportunity. It was an opportunity then. That's why he called it. That's not why he won. Interesting. Interesting.

Starship troopers, sad news. Remake in the works. I mean, is there anything else that needs to be said? Just leave it alone. It was perfect. It was perfect. Okay, the only way that you could be justified in doing any sort of tweaking to starship troopers, is making the shower scene longer.

That's it. I will say this. The topless scene in that movie, as a kid, when you're just like, what was that? Because you're just like, you're just watching some random military movie,

and then all of a sudden you're like, it's got aliens, it's got everything, and it's got some corning acting, right? Like, I mean, you think about it, you go back and watch it now. It's a terrible movie. Like, how are you going to beat Michael Ironson,

in any event. Even, yeah. Scientists have finally given the all clear to an Earth's newly discovered asteroid. After two months of observation, scientists have almost fully ruled out. I love how they say almost fully ruled out. Anyways, the threat from asteroid 2024, YR4 NASA and the European Space Agency said Tuesday,

they had it at one point at 3%. Now it's down to 0.001%. The asteroid, We were excited for hitting the city killing. The city killing asteroid ended up just being a big goddamn cockties, and I have nothing to look forward to. Brampton man charged after a $1.5 million worth of trailers and freight stolen, Mahinder Singh, Burra.

41 out of Brampton. Police said the suspect that quoted found freight of interests through a third party online platform and contacted the victims directly to offer transportation services at a discounted rate. yeah discounted because he never had to actually drive anything to where it needed to go he just said yeah yeah just just just leave it with me it'll be fine here's the thing like it's just i i appreciate the audacity of it but the fact that you didn't move any of the like you just stole everything fair enough but that doesn't get you any further ahead until you actually liquidate

some of it they just basically there was just a bunch people who were like yeah we ordered we we called in for this trucking company to deliver a bunch of shit. They picked it up and it never got there. And you're like, okay, cool. So there's been a whole bunch of you that never, you know,

that they took away your stuff, but it never got delivered. Okay, well, let's just go look at where their trucks are. And oh, there's all of this shit that they stole. That's it.

It was just. Gene Hackman's dead. No, sad that is. And then, and then it reads like this. After, this is Charlie Kirk.

After, after Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arara Kawahua were found deceased in their Santa Fe residents. Authorities are now calling their death suspicious. Here's some of the suspicious findings. The front door of the residence was found open and unsecured. A deceased dog was laying 10 to 15 feet away from Betsy in a closet of the bathroom while a healthy dog was found roaming freely on the property. There was a heater that was moved.

There was also a prescription pill bottle that was open with pills scattered next to the female. Gene Hackman's body was located in a separate room of the residence, and there were no obvious signs of a gas. A very strange scene unfolding in Santa Fe. Yeah, I mean, it's totally normal when two people and a dog, but not every dog, die at the same time. And like, why, I get the fact that Hollywood hates quality movies and good actors, but do you really need to take it this far? Man, Gene Huckman was fantastic.

What was the movie with him and Will Smith? And Will Smith? Yeah, yeah, yeah. state of state of play state of something I never saw that one the one where

the one is like right around year 2000 you know look at unforgiving look at no way out I mean the guy has had so many great movies what was it

Hoosiers where he was the coach yes yeah I mean like just enemy enemy of the state you what come on you've heard of enemy of the state

yeah but I never saw it you never saw enemy of the state really I was that dude there's there's a million movies I was just talking with Vesper about Sicario and how I'd never see it and he's like you gotta watch it and then I did and it was great and then I watched it again and then I watched a bunch of YouTube all right RIP Gene Hackman you were fantastic you were fantastic you were fantastic in enemy of the state just thrown out of everybody's jumping in everybody's jumping in enemy of the state yeah Kevin Deemate yes Kevin Earl yes it was a fantastic movie oh man Gene Hack gone I get it. I haven't seen every movie. A trans-identified male serving an indefinite prison sentence for a sexual offense, including the rape of a 13-year-old, is said to have sexually assaulted multiple female inmates after having been transferred into a woman's prison.

You cannot make this up. You cannot make this up. It's exactly, it's literally exactly what you would expect to happen. Okay, so this guy is a sex offender. Correct. And he says, I'm a girl. Put me in a locked room. with a bunch of women.

Yeah. And they'll like, can we get rip on the case? I don't see anything wrong. John Dutton. Parking garage. I don't even know what to say to it, too. It's just,

it's just insane. This is where our world's at. Okay. Here, take a look. This is a parking garage collapses under heavy snow in Ottawa. 50 cars are thought to be destroyed. Nobody,

nobody injured is as far as it said. So there you go. I mean, personally, I am all for any sort of destruction in Ottawa. as long as it's natural disasters. Yeah, natural disaster. I love it when when God decides

that he also hates our nation's capital. A woman was arrested after explosives were discovered at a Tesla dealership. A woman. They were hidden in her Adam's apple. Excuse me. It's ma'am.

Ma'am? What's that bulge? of your pants. It's a bomb. The Oilers. I love how to snuck this in here are officially 2 and 4 in February. That's a damn shame. I wonder if there's any more interesting

stats we could look at in this. Ooh, four games of Connor McDavid in a funk. Games 49, 50 and 51 against Colorado, Philadelphia, and Washington. Three games in a row. He was minus three.

Now, near as I can tell, he is the only Edmonton Oiler to have ever done that. So here's Connor McDavid, setting more records. Good for him. I'm glad we can have a laugh because the next story is pretty heartbreaking. I'm going to bring it up. Here we go. Okay. Alice Michael Joseph Atwood, 35 has been charged with aggravated assault after stabbing his children on February 19th in Grand Prairie,

Alberta leaving his eight-year-old in critical condition and another with minor injuries. Atwood who goes by do I mean, she they he pronouns and describes himself as a gender fluid quirdo on social media was issued a form eight psychiatric warrant allowing him to be held for up to 30 days though he was released within

26 hours. The children are now in protective custody with the eight-year-old facing months of recovery including time on a feeding tomb after his her esophagus was severed. Now I'm just going to go ahead and say that this isn't just your regular run of the mill assault with a knife.

if you sever somebody's fucking esophagus, that means you cut their throat. I don't, I, I, I'm, I, I don't know what to say to this. This is. At what point are we going to look at correlation and causation in some of this? I don't know. Yeah. Toronto's Pride 2025 festival is in peril after three of its sponsors pulled their funding

amid a massive corporate push against diversity, equity, and inclusion. I thought the whole point of being gay was, that you didn't have to pull out. I'm surprised Tuesday didn't put that in the happiness. They lost, it says they lost two, said that two sponsors were gold partners contributed at least 150 in cash,

$150,000 in cash, so that they lost both of those and in-kind goods and another was a silver contributing more than $100,000. Okay, parade in Toronto. At least $350,000 in terms of sponsors for a parade. How much money does it cost to put on a goddamn parade? I agree.

Tell a bunch of people to show up. It's not like it's a gay pride thing. They're not even spending money on jock straps. They're the largest pride in North America, the group there. Not anymore. Yeah. Canadian Church has burned for the mass grave scandal. The search is now ending with over $200 million spent and zero bodies found.

That on top of the Union of BC. Indian Chiefs is appalled for recent comments made by the elected conservative MLA, Dallas Brody on X, which alleged the number of confirmed child burials at former Camelham's Indian residential school is zero. So here's the whole thing about truth and reconciliation is if I was to ask you how many bodies have been found at these schools? Could you give me a ballpark? Are you asking me? Yes. Could you give me a ballpark?

How many bodies have been found at these schools? Exactly zero You don't even have to round it It's exactly zero And so this is what this politician had said Is that there have been zero bodies found And as far as the truth part of truth and reconciliation goes Everybody in the comments is zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero

You're all right and look Nobody is saying that there hasn't been some absolutely fucking heinous things happen over the years. What they're saying is that zero bodies have been found. And then also, if you wanted to go further into it, you could say that these First nation's leaders spent $200 million on literally zero bodies found. Now, where the fuck did that $200 million go? Brett, Brett gets it.

Don't give me facts. Give me feelings. Irving paper. No, no, no. BP's chief. sorry, BP's chief, Exfiel will scrap a target to increase renewable generation 20-fold by 2030, returning the focus to fossil fuels as part of a strategy to shift announced on Wednesday

to tackle investor concerns over earnings. Now, if investors are concerned about decreased earnings and their response is to phase out renewable energy generation, what does that imply about renewable energy generation that it doesn't make any money that it can't exist on its own because here's the thing is if it was this magic thing where you just put a fucking propeller up

on a big stick and it rained fucking money down they would all be doing it we'd all be doing it do you think that we would be in fucking Fort McMurray Alberta in the middle of the goddamn winter in 50 below dredging this stuff up out of the fucking ground. If you could just put a propeller on a stick

and the money would fall from the sky, does nobody get this? Irving Paper. Lots of people get it. Lots of people get it, too. Irving Paper says it is permanently shut down 50% of its operations due to New Brunswick uncompetitive industrial electricity rates.

The company located in St. John's, New Brunswick, said 140 people, employees, that is, impacted on money and the layoffs were effective immediately. Mosher said it has come difficult for the company to shoulder the impact of soaring electricity costs and remain competitive in an international market. Over the next number of weeks, we will continue to work with the provincial government to try and develop a plan to allow the continued operation of the remaining 50% of the mill prior to the additional 10% electricity rate increase on you guessed at April 1st, 2025. It's almost as though it's suggesting that the carbon tax increase is affecting the, the, the, the viability.

and the competitive nature of Canadian manufacturing. And if it's if it's if it's if it's affecting that to the point where Irving is closing 50% of a giant plant that serves 65 countries, is it also reasonable to to guess that perhaps it's also increasing the price of a loaf of bread? Quoted. He trusted the fact that I'm in a hospital, said his wife, Diamanta, master Tuno. If something happens, I'm safe. I'm in a hospital. They're not going to make me die.

Mastin Tuno, 69 died soon after he spent 11 hours in the Laval Hospital ER without ever seeing a doctor. This is another one that we continue to see across Canada. I think we've had one in almost every province now, too, aren't we? We're getting close. We're getting close to every province. This is the first one we've had in fucking Quebec. And the other thing is that, I mean, we just covered a couple weeks ago, how there was 800 and some thousand Canadians died while on waiting lists for for our free health care.

Yeah, free health care. All right. You know, it's funny. The next segment is goofy news. I'm like, this is all goofy this week. Like, it's just,

whatever. The Guardian, plants losing appetite for carbon dioxide amid effects of climate, warming climate. They're saying that they're full, essentially. That's totally not fucking true. There's no way that that,

it's just, it's in fucking conceivable. That's what they live off. Unceivable. It's got what plants crave, Sean. Inconceivable. Just imagine if we were just surrounded by steaks and then eventually we're like, you know what,

I don't want to eat steaks anymore. No, never going to happen. Definitely not in Western Canada. And for them to just be like, yeah, plants don't want to use carbon dioxide anymore. What are they going to breed? Zon. Get the fuck out of here. This girl right here. There's a boy on the team. I will not be playing or participating in any part of this game. 15-year-old high school athlete Francis Stalt and her mother discussed a backlash after she faced refusing to compete in a basketball game against an 18-year-old biological male.

Despite being accused of bullying, she is standing firm and pushing back against the unfair treatment of female athletes. So a 15-year-old, yeah, bullying. Yeah. Collying. Yeah. U.S. border egg seizures up nearly 40% as prices soar due to avian flu.

One of the other things being smuggled across the Canada-U.S. border now is chicken eggs. Chicken eggs. Eggs. Yeah. Yeah. Like, you think that that would be difficult.

I mean, you're limited in how many you can fit in your, as Chuck would call it, prison wallet. And I feel like if you coughed too hard, you'd end up crapping out an omelet. The story said 166 million birds have been slaughtered to limit the avian flu virus spread when the cases were found. So this has been 30 million since the start of this year alone. So that's going to.

NDP. Yeah, sorry, I forgot about this part of it. I had accidentally put the Charlie Angus in that first one in the wrong. No, no, no, but this is great. Any, NEP Charlie Angus calls for a nationwide boycott of ammo. Amazon and demands that Trudeau government cut all contracts with Amazon. But while he says that, he's got books. And wait for it.

Where are books on sale, twos? They're on sale at Amazon. At Amazon. The guy is an absolute moron. Like, I mean, we are ran by nincompoops. Yep. Okay. The Rainbow Railroad and other referral organizations can identify and refer to LGBTQI plus refugees

to be resettled under the government-assisted refugees program. Refugees settled under this program get 12 months of income and settlement support through the resettlement assistance program. You're going, okay, what the heck is Sean talking about? Well, here's a tweet from Viva Frey. This is the Canadian government. Yeah, so the Canadian government says, it's kind of like the Statue of Liberty,

the send us the poor, you're unkempt, you're whatever, except it's send us your pull. They called it the rain, Railroad. They call it. You know, it's interesting. Railroads? How many tracks are on a railroad, Sean?

Two. Two. There's only two. Joy Reid's show was canceled. I'm wondering how many Canadians even know who that is. I was like, Joy Reid, and then I looked at my... Joy Reid is basically one of the queens of shit takes. She's everything you'd expect from the view, but she was on MSNBC instead of the view. And so one of those people who just no matter how things went in U.S.

politics, she always said the stupidest thing. Like she said, for example, that Kamala Harris ran a perfect campaign. And this is probably the most savage thing that I have seen on Twitter in a very long time. This is from Phoenix Ammunition, who you should follow because A, they're awesome and B, they're hilarious. Today, we celebrate the termination of Joy Reid's show by loading something fat, black, slow, and bald. 300 caliber blackout 220 gram 220 grain subsonics available also

ready to be fired at a moment's notice the founders of the ice cream Brad Ben and juries are exploring buying back their company from Unleaver PLC as the namesake claim the corporation claims the corporation interferes with their lefty politics

they don't they want to talk out about Donald Trump That's what it comes down to. Yep. Yeah, that's basically it. They're mad that the company that they sold is no longer an activist organization. And so they want to buy it back and turn it into an activist organization. So good luck with that because I feel like them dropping the activist stuff is going to make it more competitive,

which means that what they pay it, what they receive for it is not going to be what they would pay out again, not to mention the tax implications of the sale, giving them less free. cash. So I don't know if they're going to be able to do it. Imagine being on a flight and having to sit by a dead person. These two right here. Yeah. They recall the horror of sitting next to a dead passenger on a catar airways flight. She died on the flight coming back from the bathroom. And then they asked if he could move over so they could place her there because they had nowhere else to put her. So they tried rolling her away, but she was too large. So she was. And then for some reason,

this incredibly large person died unexpectedly. And so, yeah, they just, they, they set her down. They just set the horse down. That'd be a tough flight. Oh, could you imagine? I've had some tough flights in my day. That's a tough flight. This is a flight from Melbourne to Venice.

So this isn't just a puddle jump. Now, what I don't get is why they didn't just say, okay, well, look, this is kind of a shitty thing to ask of people. So we're going to tuck her into one of the washrooms and kind of just jam that last rib in there so that we could get the door closed. And then and then we'll just hang aside saying out of order. And then, you know, after you try and flush a few times, you give up and you say, okay, well just, you know, afterwards everybody. Because after the plane landed, they had to stay there because they were trapped in the seat because of this overly large dead corpse. I wouldn't be. I'd be jumping the seat.

jump the seat. Two's show the video of Detroit, Minnesota. Oh, this is great. This is great. This is more hockey stuff. So I feel like you guys are going to like it. I know Sean like hockey stuff. Yes.

So Rossi on this face off against conference. What the fuck for goodness. Say. Do they have the mashup doing commentary on this? He's literally annoyed because they keep kicking the centermen's out, right? That's what's going on there. and he drops the F-Bahn live air. That's, yeah, that's, you know, it doesn't get,

show the Jagmeet Singh commercial. Yeah, here we go. I worry. I wasn't raised. Yeah, here we go. Okay, this is Jagmeet Singh. They spent $500,000 on this. That's exactly it.

$500,000. Keep in mind, keep in mind that this commercial cost half a million dollars. I wasn't raised to be a politician. Never dreamed of becoming one. I worked for minimum wage to take care of my family when my dad was sick and made it out of law school to see the system only works for those at the top. So I got in the ring to take on the powerful few and fight for you. It's time for someone in your corner, especially when times are tough. I won't back down.

I won't stop fighting for you. I'm ready. Now, I just, there's 500 grand. 500 grand and it's it's not even all that reasonable like let's just say dude somebody got rich up that yeah somebody made you're you're a seek um you're a seek person who's about to enter a boxing match you're gonna trade your regular turban for something low profile if someone's gonna be punching me in the head i'm gonna go for the one with more layers right off the bat okay the other thing is keep in mind that they had about 300,000 dollars several months months ago, of which they had to give 10% to Kalin Ford. And so then they were left with somewhere around $270,000. I like that half a million. Yeah.

They spent half a million on this ad showing how much of a fighter he is. That's the thing. You know, we talked about this last night. Whenever, whenever, um, whenever anybody in Ottawa talks about how they need this trade war with the U.S. to end, they don't. the NDP literally bet the fucking farm and the second mortgage on this trade war continuing to escalate so that they can pretend that Jagmeet Singh is a goddamn fighter because as soon as that trade war goes away, this commercial becomes completely irrelevant.

I did enjoy this. Someone is getting ready to fight Jake Paul after he loses a seat at the party. He's leadership. Oh, man. Okay. The other thing is, is that Jagmeet Singh, his pension vested as of a few days ago. And so, hey, cause for celebration.

He's now guaranteed his $2.3 million pension. And he's actually doing something that's just classic NDP. He's now starting all of his press conferences with a pension acknowledgement. And so we have this exclusive clip. Before the rest of this press conference, I would like to make a brief acknowledgement. I would like to acknowledge my pension paid for with the traditional and ancestral taxpayer money of Canadians. I sit here in the unseated front of my Maserati-Lovante, admiring its strong culture of leather seats, rain-sensing wipers,

and individually adjustable ball warmers. This pension represents the severed connection between hard-working Canadians and the money to buy their kids' groceries. Well done. well done. Yes. A convicted killer escape from Quebec prison. What you need to know is it was grandpa.

85 year old Ricardo Villeshay was accounted for during the noon head count Monday and minimum security institution in St. Anne de Plain, Quebec, about 40 more kilometers north of Montreal. He was found by police and taken back. Poor guys probably got dementia. An 85 year old man escaped from prison. First off, what the fuck? did he do that he's still in jail at 85 in this country?

Fair enough. Fair enough. Fair point. Fair point. And then like what? Did he just like rub himself down with like an entire vat of Ben Gay and just slip out through the fucking heating ducks? Like what? How does an 85 year old man escape from prison? Oh, maybe. Maybe there's nobody unanswered question.

What they meant to say was old folks home. They kind of treated them in prison there. Study finds incarceration leads to reduce. rate of reoffending. Spending time behind bards reduced rate of reoffending for BC use. According to a new study

out of Simon Fraser University, the long-term study included data from BC corrections and interviews from around 1,700 offenders spanning several years from their teens into their 30s. Yeah, so this is, we actually paid for this study.

And incarceration leads to reduced rate of re-offending. No shit, that's the whole fucking point. You could have paid me, $200,000 to come with that on a fucking napkin. What the hell is wrong with this country? Happy news.

Happy news. Okay. Let's see some happy news here. Okay. First we got, here's a bus on fire. Ohio school bus driver prays for saving children from burning vehicle. A bus on its way to Monticello Middle School in Cleveland Heights, Ohio caught fire after its rear tire ignited. The driver swiftly evacuated all 15 students from the bus, ensuring their

safety. So good on the bus driver. And then you got Jeff Bezos. He put out that, well, a whole thing, I don't know, can you summarize it quick? You want me to read it all? Yeah, basically I'd be happy to. The Washington Post, which is owned by Jeff Bezos, along with, you know, Amazon Prime, a decent part of the United States and several politicians, says that they're going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars, personal liberties and free markets. And so all of these billionaires have suddenly kind of just decided to go back to common sense. Yeah. He said, I offered David Shipley, whom I greatly admire the opportunity to leave this new chapter.

I suggested to him that the answer wasn't hell yes, then it had to be no. after careful consideration, David decided to step away. This is a significant shift. It won't be easy and it will require 100% commitment. I respect as a decision. We'll be searching for a new opinion editor to own this new direction. There you go. I love how it says if the answer wasn't hell yes, then it had to be no.

And then after careful consideration, he decided it was, well, no, no, no. As soon as you get to the careful consideration point, you already know. Yeah. Community notes, dudes, what do you got this week? I got nothing this week. I'm sure there's a couple things I missed. Well, Injection of Truth Monday, okay, folks, it's in the comments if you want to get tickets. What do we got here?

We got May 10th. We got the Cornerstone Forum. It's going to be in Calgary, Alberta. Also, apparently Tuesday night, I don't know where the hell it was, but Zane had posted that the day after injection of truth, and this is interesting. I don't know. I would like to go check this out. here we go. Very interesting that the very next day at the UFC that fellow Timothy

Calfield, we've talked about from being a vapid fucking idiot on this show multiple times. Yes, we're running a how to identify misinformation event. It appears to be open and no charge. It would have to be. So, yeah, I don't know any of the more details about that, but I am interested. I would actually, no offense to injection of truth. I'm more interested in that than I am with, like, if I had to pay. pick one event. It would be that. I

would really like to see. So you're saying maybe the mashup? Wait a second. Because I'm in Calgary Monday. Can I hang on until Tuesday night? Oh boy. Could we have a mashup live and just live stream it? Like live stream as we're sitting in the crowd? Yeah.

Probably not. Why not? I feel like they would probably kick like if we asked to do live coverage of it. I'm not going to ask permission. I'm thinking about just going and flicking my phone open and recording it. What are they going to do? I guess I mean, they want people to know about it, don't they?

They want to get rid of misinformation. I want to air it. I agree with you. We should get rid of misinformation. I don't know. There might be something there. If you're in Calgary, I will see you Monday night. Okay.

Tews, I'm going to see you Monday night. 147. I tell you what, this last 24 hours has been a gauntlet. And some of you lovely people have been here for the entire thing. Me and twos. And it is very much appreciated. Yeah. We've been going back and forth now for, well, seven hours.

Seven hours in the last 15. Plus the prep time and everything else like that. Yeah. All right, folks. Mashup 147 in the books. If you liked it, give it a retweet, share, tell a friend, get a rooster tattoo, all the good things. I think that's going to do it for us, I think.

I don't know. Do we get anything else? Let's just end on a high note. Also, thanks again for everybody tuning in last night and everybody who came and spoke. And we should point out when the three, number three is huge. And when the federal election gets announced, mark in your calendar to tune in to the mashups federal live election coverage because it's going to be something off the charts. Off to his air.

All right. Tews, till next week, all you find folks, have a great weekend. We'll catch up to you next week. Thanks, everybody. Welcome to the Masha. Tell me whether I'm wrong or right. Easter west up or down side to side. I sit to stand and fall to fly.

Of all of my impulsive plans, pop and locking salsa dances on demand. I follow leading off the map but stop the chatter, scream happily. Welcome to the Masha. Welcome to the MASH up. Welcome to the MASH up. Welcome to the MASH up. Welcome to the Masha.
