Welcome to the MASHO Tell me whether I'm wrong or right Easter west up or down side to side I sit to stand and fall to fly I've all of my impulse plans Popping locking salsa dances on demand I follow leading off the map I stop the chatter scream happily

Welcome to the MASHup Welcome to the MASH up What the hell happened to Captain Crunch? Somebody needs to explain this to me Like I'm four years old Their target demographic So I had Cap Crunch for Breakfast this morning. First time in a very long time.

I missed it. It was wonderful, but it's not the way it used to be. I didn't have a whole bunch of lacerations on the top of my mouth. I didn't need to get stitches on my tongue. All of the crunchiness that you knew and loved from that over the top brick of a cereal is gone. This is crunchflation. They did something to the recipe, presumably to make it cheaper. and now it's barely even crunchier than Lucky Charms.

What in the fuck happened to this country? We used to be a serious place. For once, I can agree with you. Captain Crunch is fantastic. Oh my God. We're starting 148 with me and two's agreeing on something. Captain Crunch was fantastic. And I'm sad to hear that it no longer has its crunchiness.

That is, well, in a long line of things on this. It's vastly diminished. vastly diminished. Welcome to mashup 148. 2s. How are you doing this week, sir? I'm doing all right. Been a little bit sick, but getting over it, I guess.

How about you? It's been a, it has been a stretch. I mean, we got a full lineup today. But, of course, was in Calgary for the injection of truth. You went to the Timothy Caulfield, among others, the next day. And then it's just been a roller coaster of a week, which we're going to get into all the things this week. but if you're watching online, make sure you like,

you share, and I'm going to say get a rooster tattoo, but I don't know, does twos have a clever thing today? Oh, and say we're terrific. Terrific. Terrific.

Okay, I got you. I got you clever. Happy Airborne Friday to the boys, Jamie Sinclair and all the military men out there. Happy Airborne Friday. And we got a guest sitting in the background before we bring them in.

If you got any community notes for the end of the show, Make sure that you put it in the comments and we'll try your best to bring up anything going on in the coming weeks. And of course, to start the coup six and a half, we got a, we got a Mike, Mark Morrison. Mark Morrison. So this is a guy who was arrested in Regina for drug trafficking. And we don't have enough time in this entire show to go over his rap sheet. But there's about eight things in 2016. one thing's oh seven counts in 2017 11 12 13 in 2018

six or something in 2020 it was during the lockdowns you got to appreciate the fact that he wasn't getting out as much 2021 a shit ton 2025 a whole bunch this guy just this just catch and release catch and release this guy has a rap sheet that's longer than my balls on a hot day and he just keeps getting out and getting out and getting out. And meanwhile, the Coots guys are in there for six and a half years from Mr. There you go. Well, I don't want to have to think about that thought, but certainly the rap sheet is

quite long. And as we start out every show, folks, the Coots six and a half, yeah, we'd like to point out the, the, ineptitude in our judicial system. It's not an aptitude. It's willfully done at this point. Okay, fair enough, fair enough. Okay. Let's bring in our first guest, too, is we got lawyer Jeff Rath.

Jeff, thanks for hopping on with us. Always a pleasure, guys. How are you? It's been a week. I mean, you've been to as many events as any of us. And then, of course, your week now being called a traitor and a whole bunch of other things. I guess just this delegation to D.C., I don't know, give us your thoughts. and then everything just a little bit of background in case.

Sure, sure. Yeah, yeah. People under Iraq. For people that haven't seen the degree to which my life has been turned upside down this week, it all started actually an injection of truth 2.0 where I got a pigeonhole by Rachel Parker, who I've known for a while of independent journalist from True North and now she's on her own. And she said, hey, Jeff, you're always working on interesting stuff. She said, is there anything besides the COVID stuff that you're working on?

on that's kind of cool. And I said, oh, yeah, I said, I'm doing this really interesting thing with the Alberta Prosperity Project that I was a co-founder of them than working with, an organization that is aimed at educating our fellow Albertans on the benefits of Alberta independence. And for people listening, if you haven't joined APP already, we're over 55,000 members now, more members than the United Conservative Party of Alberta, please join us. It sends a really strong signal to Daniel Smith and the other people cowering in her cabinet room, that Albertans are in favor of independence. So please, if you're listening to this, join APP.

So anyway, I'll get back to the story for the commercial message. Rachel Parker says, you're working on something interesting. And I said, yeah, I said, as a matter of fact, I'm working with APP to said a delegation to speak to the Trump administration on a fact-finding basis to see what level of interest there would be in the Trump administration, you know, for the support of Alberta independence. with a view towards Alberta, either, you know, entering into an economic union with the United States, but becoming an American territory or full American statehood. Oh, my goodness, she says, that's really interesting. Would you mind doing an interview? And I said, no, I said, I'll happily chat with you about it, whatever.

So I do this little one minute, two-minute interview with Rachel, who's a fantastic interviewer, by the way. No offense to you guys, but she does a really nice job. We agree, we agree. We're good. We're good. Keep going. So anyway. Rachel does this little interview, and then she clips out 41 seconds of it, which is, you know, just kind of a typical, you know, Jeff Rath.

This is why I'm pissed off kind of rant, and she puts it out on Twitter as to why it is that Albertans want to lead Canada, and it's largely because we're sick and tired of being governed by idiots from Ontario and Quebec. This thing goes viral. Within 24 hours, we were up to over 5 billion views on Twitter. Then Charlie Kirk, of course, who's more than just slightly, you know, slightly Trump adjacent. it, you know, he's a personal friend of the presidents, then retweets it. So then it gets another couple million views. Then yesterday morning, Elon Musk comments on Charlie Kirk's tweet to the effect that, you know, Elon Musk and his people think that Alberta statehood is an excellent idea that should be pursued. And, you know, I think snowballed from there. So, you know,

yesterday morning, I started my day at 5 o'clock in the morning getting up so that I could do Fox and Friends with Brian Kilmead, who's a really nice guy, by the way. I did Fox and Friends yesterday morning talking about our Alberta statehood project. And I want everybody to understand. Everybody puts me down as Alberta 51. We're not affiliated to Alberta 51, any other organization. My personal view is the whole 51st state thing has so many negative connotations. We deliberately use the word Alberta statehood, not Alberta 51.

And because statehood leaves it open that we could be either an independent nation state, we could be an independent nation state with the status of a U.S. territory, or we could apply for, you know, full U.S. statehood, you know, under the rules under the U.S. Constitution. But the long and the short of it is, we're, you know, definitely of the view that it's time for Alberta to pack its bags and, you know, dirty oil and dirty diesel trucks and go, as in go from Canada. And the great news for all of us is we don't even have to leave home, right? So that's kind of, you know, that's my pitch, right? So anyway, this thing has just gone completely nuts. I now, you know, we're working, the steering committee that we had together before my, you know, my little brief interview with Rachel, which probably let the cat of the bank

a little bit sooner than we were planning, but anyway, whatever, is working ahead. You know, obviously, you know, we're, you know, we're in contact with, you know, Elon Musk. We're in contact with people in the White House. You know, things are moving forward. You know, we're consulting with our fellow Albertans. We're putting together, you know, we're having meetings and putting together, you know, briefing packages. We're putting together lists of issues and questions, you know, that we're going to have for the administration

in terms of, you know, gauging their support for independence. You know, what is, you know, what would the Trump administration be prepared to do in support of Alberta independence? you know, like, because there's a lot of legitimate concerns and questions that people have about, you know, independence. First of all, I'll just quickly rattle off what I say the benefits are, right? First of all, the biggest one, no federal income tax, right? Boom, done. So 30 billion a year, no longer leaving Alberta to go to Ottawa to be spread out amongst their cronies in Quebec

and, you know, liberal voters and maritimes or wherever else, all that money stays in Alberta. Think about the economic boom that that will cause if all that money stays in Alberta and pockets to be spent in Alberta on things within the Alberta economy, $30 billion, right? Then the next big benefit of Alberta independence, no more carbon tax, right? So carbon tax, gone. Federal income tax, gone. Federal excise taxes on gasoline, gone, right? So, you know, people literally, the day after Alberta declares independence, you know,

gasoline prices and diesel prices in Alberta will be cut in half, right? Home heating fuel, home heating costs, cut in half, right? So we see those are really, really positive benefits, right? But on the other hand, you know, we acknowledge the legitimate concerns of a lot of our fellow citizens. We have a lot of people that are reaching retirement age. They're concerned about their pensions. They're concerned about, you know, what it's going to be like to live on a fixed income where their pensions are denominated in Canadian dollars, which after Alberta leaves Canada, you know, the Canadian dollar, we all know will have the value of the Polish slati, right? Oh, nice callback.

Yeah, there you go. So anyway, you know, one of the things that we, you know, one of the questions that, you know, Alberta pensioners have for the Trump administration is, you know, would the Trump administration, in support of Alberta independence and economic union with the United States, be prepared to convert all Alberta residents' savings, retirement plans and investments, you know, from Canadian dollars into U.S. dollars at par, right? I mean, that's going to be a big issue for our pensioners. And it's a very big issue. on our you know on the list of you know of things that need to be you know discussed and determined you know in terms of this overall project so the people can make a fully informed decision right you know and a whole bunch of other you know and a whole bunch of other related issues so that's what we're doing everybody needs to understand that this isn't some sort of nefarious oh blah blah blah you know Trump is gonna take over Alberta and this is you know you know the Americans are you know asserting you know attacking Canadian Socrates

No, no, this is a democratic process. Adult Albertans, and there's literally, like, APP right now has, and the membership has been shooting up this week since all of this has been announced, right? You know, there's literally tens of thousands of adult Albertans that have committed to volunteering to make this happen, right? Like we have more, I think I've mentioned already, APP has more members right now than the United Conservative Party of Alberta. And a good number of them are part of Daniel Smith's base.

So I hope she's paying attention to that when we say that, you know, rather than forcing us to go through the bullshit, you know, referendum petition process that Jason Kenny set up, that, you know, Daniel Smith has the authority as Premier just to call a referendum in six months, right? But anyway, be that as it may, we're going to be working towards that goal one way or another, that there'd be a referendum held this calendar year in the province of Alberta to ask adult Albertans what their views are with regard to either a remaining in Canada and paying, you know, double or triple the taxes that they should pay and paying double or triple what they should pay for

milk and other things, you know, thanks to the Canadian messed up. The diarrhea cartel? Yeah, yeah, the supply management system, whatever. So we're going to ask out adult Albertans how they feel about all of that stuff. And they can express their views in the context of a binding referendum that would then hopefully launch Alberta on the road to, you know, to true independence from, you know, the tyranny that we've been living under from Eastern Canada, you know, going back to our inception.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm sick and tired of being, you know, the citizen of a colony of Quebec and Ontario and, you know, and being treated like some sort of colonial moron, you know, on the regular because, you know, we support Alberta oil and gas development. We think that we understand that diesel trucks deliver our groceries and the diesel trucks and the smell of diesel exhaust, the smell of success, prosperity, and breakfast being delivered to your grocery store. And, you know, and, you know, we also understand that our oil isn't dirty and that it's a good thing that the entire world needs clean, abundant energy in order to thrive and prosper economically. And for anybody in Ontario and Quebec that unfortunately don't understand that and think that, you know,

punitive taxes kicking working people in the teeth are somehow going to change the weather. You know, to all of those people, I say, well, you know, thank you. God bless you. you know, bless your hearts. Carry on your pretty little cells wherever you want to carry on. But, you know, the best thing they can do for Canada carbon footprint would be to kick out, Alberta. Well, I would think. I mean, you know, all those people that truly, you know, truly are concerned about Canada's carbon footprint and Canada and Gibo being able to. hold his head high with China

when he tells them to stop building coal fire power plants and the rest of it is to say, well, you know, we hate carbon so much. We drove our biggest oil producing province with the third largest oil reserves in the world out of Canada because we didn't want to be associated with that kind of disgusting

icky energy. I mean, think about, you know, think about the virtue signaling they can do then, right? I'm with you 100%. I think it'd be good for them. You brought up you brought up Jason Kenny before. He just tweeted recently about you. He referred to you as a quote, treasonous kook.

I know. I love that hate tweet yesterday. It's like, he cares. Oh, that's so nice. Right. No, but I mean, it's so funny because let's first of all, let's take a step back, right? Let's remember that Jason Kenney has recently been found by a Superior Court of

Justice in the province of Alberta and the Court of King's Vetch to have plausibly engaged in misfeasance and public. office when he had De Nihinsha fraudulently put her signature to chief medical officer of health orders that were really orders issued by the Kenny cabinet to lock all of us up in our homes, right? What's the difference between malfeasance and misfeasance? They're relatively synonymous in the context of what we're talking about. So, yeah.

Yeah, it's the same same thing. The words are used interchangeably, I think, in the cases and whatever. All right. And to the, yeah, so, and to the extent that there is any difference and one means something different than the other, it's news to me. But I could, I'll look into it for you. Oh, I was just, I was just, I was just, we, we use the words interchangeably. But anyway, the funny thing is that Kenny sends out this thing. And then he says, he sued me when we tried to merge the conservative parties and he's just a blowheart seeking publicity and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

So anyway, first of all, as I've said to a lot of people, I don't consider. consider myself a treasonous anything. I am first and foremost in Albertan, after Justin Trudeau declared martial law against all of us and started seizing people's bank accounts and doing all of the heinous things that he did, including, you know, throwing our friend Tamara Leach in chains and manacles and dragging her back and forth across the country, you know, as many times as they did in chains. I really don't consider myself to be Canadian anymore. I think I didn't leave Canada, Canada left me. And I've been feeling that way for a long time. I'm a fifth generation Albertan. My family came here in the 1860s. And, you know, we're not going anywhere. So I don't

consider myself to be a treasonous anything. To the extent that I'm a coup, yeah, I mean, people that know me, he can be really crazy, man. Like, you know, watch Jeff sometimes says he's a bit nuts. Sure, I'll own that. Good. I don't, you know, I don't care. I mean, I played hockey. I played football. I played rugby. I grew up in southern, I grew up in Northern Alberta, rather, sorry. And yeah, we were all a bit crazy. Like, you know, you live in Northern Alberta and grow up shooting coyotes and driving pickup trucks and all the stuff that we do. It gets a bit nuts sometimes. Sure, I'll own that.

Okay. But as to, you know, as to Kenny, you know, suggesting that I did anything improper when a client of mine asked me to look into judicially reviewing or challenging the idea that they can simply wave a magic wand and make the progressive conservative party of Alberta disappear in favor of, you know, the Kenny unite the right scam, because that's what it ended up being. when you saw that, you know, Kenny took over the party and then they all became a bunch of Trudeau liberals, right? I'm with you 100% on that. I was banging the drum on that from the get-go. Right? So that's, you know, this is Kenny, you know, alleging that I sued him.

Well, I didn't sue him. I had a client that was interested in pursuing legal action in and around that issue. And then to the extent that, you know, the stuff about seeking publicity, like, you guys know I'm really busy. I'm not burning up your phone lines, trying to get on your show on the regular basis. you know, that thing... We're reaching out to you.

Well, and that thing with, you know, and that thing with Rachel, God bless her was, it was kind of like, it just happened the way that it happened. I mean, I have to say honestly, there was, you know, there was no plan to releasing that information at this time, let alone, you know,

me becoming the point person or lightning rod for, you know, all of the things that are going on. Like, I was, I was actually corresponding with a friend of mine who's fairly senior in the Alberta government the other day, and this person said, So, Jeff, I really want to know, like, what level of support do you have for what's going on? And I said, well, I said, the best way to describe it is this.

I said, the letters, emails, and offers of support are running 20 to 1 versus the death threats. Right? Right. Which, you know, like people are threatening to burn my office. You know, I mean, all that kind of stuff, right? Just all the crazy lefties are, you know, are really, really, really upset that adult Albertans want to engage in a democratic process where, Adalbertans that have the right to vote have the ability to express themselves democratically in a manner that would cause their government to act in the manner selected by the people.

I mean, I just thought that was democracy. I didn't realize that, you know, that democracy equals treason and democracy equals, you know, treachery or democracy equals sedition. Ocrast. It is important as long as it agrees with everything that Ottawa has to say. As well as you're voting for them, then it's democracy. If I made one, certainly on this show, we don't think you're a traitor by any stretch of imagination. And the reason I, I don't know, I'd put it to you, the reason why it goes absolutely ballistic is this is the conversation Albertans are having behind closed doors.

And one of the things about leading a delegation down there is like, I think people just want more information. If I hear anything, it's like, well, what would that actually look like? What are, what, what would, what would that actually mean? Because, you know, you can run a thousand different scenarios on this, but nobody really knows. And certainly the government isn't going and doing it. So when, when do you foresee leading a group down there? Any details around it? Just, just for the average Albertan.

Yeah. Yeah. When I initially spoke to Rachel, you know, I was at the view that 30 days was sort of the realistic timeline, right? And then, of course, this thing is all, you know, as we've seen this week, is really, snowballed and has really caught the imagination and the attention of, you know, not only people in Alberta, but people within the Trump administration, within the United States, you know, there's a lot of support for this idea on both sides of the border. Let's put it that way, right? So I don't want to go too far in terms of telling tales of the school, but the word that we're

getting, and it's not surprising given where they're at in terms of getting their cabinet up and running and all the rest of the things that are going on, that the, you know, that the administration is just beyond busy for the next two weeks, you know, with a number of other things that, you know, they're dealing with, including probably making Justin Trudeau cry again. So, you know, it's not... That doesn't take two weeks. Right? But anyway, you know, it's probably, you know, we're probably on that three or four week

timeline, you know, according to the, according to our contacts. you know, literally in the White House, right? This kind of the, is the, you know, is the time frame that they're looking at. And of course, from the perspective of the steering committee, and again, I want to talk a little bit about this steering committee. And again, I've kind of become the, you know, the lightning rod and the focal point for everybody's hatred.

And, you know, I've got broad shoulders. So, I mean, I'll deal with it. I mean, it's, you know, it's not that new to me over the course of my career. I mean, people have been hating me for defending the rights of indigenous people for years. So they may as well hate me for this, too. So where I'm going with this is that, you know, having that extra time is good because our steering committee wants to get together and we're putting together briefing packages. We want to make sure that we've consulted with our fellow Albertans in terms of the questions that people want to have addressed and have answers for when we come back. This is a fact-finding mission.

So we can report back to the people of Alberta with regard to, you know, answers to the questions, including, you know, the appetite for, you know, conversion of Alberta savings and pensions at par, you know, any other questions and issues that people may have arising out of, you know, the four years of work that we've done at the Alberta Prosperity Project, you know, talking to Albertans about independence and, you know, and putting together a fairly large database of, you know, consultative data that we've gathered, you know, through the literally hundreds and hundreds of town halls that APP has held all over the province in the context of educating Albertans on the value of independence. Now, here's something that, the one thing that I look at that seems to be completely missing

from this conversation. And just, just for the sake of trying to be as holistic about this is possible, I'm not going to say unbiased, because I probably feel more strongly about it than you do. But where are the people saying, Canada's a good place. You should stay and here's why. Well, I mean, you know, because we're doing what we're doing, I mean, we're having conversations on the ongoing, ongoing basis. Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of people contact in my office willing to engage in thoughtful discussions. They want to scream and yell and threaten and, you know, and then hang up, right?

But, you know, the people that, you know, I have spoken to some. And I have to say they're very few, like in terms of, like, you know, this is completely. unscientific and anecdotal but you know man on the street people coming up to me and talking to me or talking to people about independence in general I have run into very very very few people that have said they're so attached to Canada that they would vote no you know but I have spoken to a couple and some of the feedback that we've gotten is you know this is a concern that has to be addressed some people are very attached for whatever reason to Alberta Health and Alberta Health

Health Services you know our you know our present health care system in the province of Alberta and obviously you know those people need to understand that there's no intention through Alberta, you know, the independence movement to any way alter or change, you know, the HMO that is Alberta health. If people like that system, you know, I would imagine that they're going to have the ability within the Republic of Alberta to express their desire democratically to keep that system in place. I would imagine there's lots of other people that would say, hey, but we'd like to kind of go to a hybrid system like the UK where we have, you know, mixed private public.

whatever. I mean, obviously, you know, this gives us an opportunity to have changes because we can actually have a healthcare discussion in Alberta about changing health care in Alberta without having Ottawa threatening to withhold our money from us because we dared to have a conversation about health care that doesn't agree with Ottawa, right? So, but yeah, so there's people that are concerned about health care. That's an issue that's been flagged that needs to be addressed. You know, and there's people that just have an emotional attachment to that red maple, right? They're attached to Canada, they're attached to the idea of Canada. You know, they like being part of a greater whole, you know, all of those types of things, right? But, you know, our feeling is,

and again, this is democracy, right? So you take your feelings for Canada and you take your, you know, your love of your little Canadian passport that, you know, the Trudeau is now microchip so that they can track us everywhere we go through our passport and, you know, all that kind of stuff. But, you know, taking all of that aside, if you balance that against no more federal income tax, no more excise tax, no more carbon tax. For certain people in Alberta, I've heard, hell yeah, I wouldn't need a passport to go to Vegas anymore. I could just go straight there, right? I mean, people have different reasons for voting for independence.

Some of them, you know, are more thoughtful than others. Some of them are more, you know, hey, this is going to be great. I can drive down to my place with whitefish without going through the border anymore. How awesome would that be? You know, people vote for different reasons, right? So everybody has their different reasons for being, you know, in support of Alberta statehood. And again, writ large, like nation statehood independence, right, versus, you know, those people that feel that they're so attached to Canada that they, you know, they feel that they're far more Canadian than they are in Albertan. And, you know, they're not sure how comfortable they would be with this idea that, you know, they wouldn't be Canadian anymore if they're in Alberta.

And, you know, and I say to those people, first of all, you're not going to lose your Canadian citizenship under Canadian national law. No Canadian ever loses Canadian citizenship or Canadian identity, even if you become an American. citizen and swear I know saying you're renouncing all other citizenships foreign and domestic. The Canadian government doesn't recognize it. So you're not losing your Canadian citizenship. And for those Canadians that don't want to remain living in Alberta, there's lots of cater to left to live in. You can go live there.

Right? Nobody's stopping you. It's a free and democratic, you know, the independent republic of Alberta is going to be a free and a democratic, you know, country. And we're not going to tell people that they have to get a vaccine that they don't want to take before they can leave, right? And the people who, I would argue the people who take umbrage with this deciding to leave would be for everybody's benefit. Well, they'd be happier. We'd be happier.

You know, obviously one of the big problems is going to be, you know, I would think an influx of citizens rushing into Alberta to, you know, to become Alberta citizens because to get the hell out of Canada. I mean, obviously, and that's one of the issues that we're going to have to address is, you know, Alberta immigration controls, you know, both, you know, prior to and post referendum and make sure that they don't try to flood our province with no voters and all the sleazy stuff that the Federalists can do, right? I think probably the best thing to do would be to apply the same rules

to immigrants as you do to babies, which is you have to live here for 18 more years until you can vote. Well, I, you know, I wouldn't think it'd be a hard sell with, you know, even Alberta appointed judges to say, you know, at the end of the day, You know, somebody who's a, you know, as a Canadian citizen residing in Alberta, you know, shouldn't be allowed to vote, you know, regardless of where they're from, whether they're an immigrant from

Ontario, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, or elsewhere, you know, that they shouldn't be allowed to vote in, you know, in Alberta election if they've resided here, you know, paid income taxes in Alberta, you know, those types of things, right? You know, the authority issue becomes whether or not, you know, whether or not all the landed immigrants who are not yet Canadian citizens that have, you know, been flooded into Alberta over the last couple of years by Trudeau because Quebec wouldn't take them, right? You know, whether those people would be able to vote in an Alberta referendum. I mean, that's, you know, that's another question that will have to be resolved.

And I'm sure that, you know, I'm sure that the Kenny forces within cabinet and whatever will be doing everything they can to pass whatever laws they can to try to skew the, you know, to try to skew the referendum as much as they can in favor of their liberal masters in Ottawa. But, you know, that's, you know, that's where we're at and we'll just carry on. Well, one of the, I got Marty up north. Jeff, do you have a few more minutes? I'm just, I can let you. I'm good. I'm having, I'm having, sure. I'm going to, I'm having lunch with a couple buddies about in town at noon. So I'm going to let Marty up north. Marty, thanks for hopping on. I get Marty. In the background, I figure another Albert and Miles will just

off in. No worries. Love listening to Jeff. So I didn't say anything that offended you this morning, Marty? I was trying. Nothing? No, nothing. You're not serious. No, no, you can't. Well, one of the things, one of the things that I, that I think is really interesting is, you know, you go down, you start this. What's happening is, the conversation is happening. So if I go back, Jeff, you're like, I don't know why people are so attached to Canada. Well, that's been our life.

And we've rallied around the flag for, you know, different things and the history and blah, blah, blah, blah. I could see things laughing and everything else. But I'm like, what's happening is. Once upon a time I had Dennis Modrian, and I remember being really struggled with the Alberta first thought process, because I'd always been Canada first. But if you don't start the conversation,

then people don't get to actually wrestle with that. And that's what's beginning, is lots of Albertans are starting to wrestle with Alberta First versus Canada First. And there's a whole bunch of you that are way past that, are rate where Jeff is at. In my mind, I've already laughed, right?

And I'll just, go ahead. I like how you put it before, though, where you're in the same place in Canada left you. That really landed with me personally. No, I mean, that's it. I mean, when you take a little old, you know, like a teeny weedy little grandmother, you know, Tamara Leach, who I know very well, and I have nothing with the highest respect for it. And you literally fly here across the country in handcuffs and leg ards, right? Because they allegedly, she allegedly violated some bullshit bail condition for attending, you know, an award ceremony.

with her lawyer and whatever. I mean, you know, I'm just going, I don't even believe that this is Canada anymore. On a mischief charge, no less. You know, she's being hauled across the country, you know, on manacles. In my career as a lawyer, I've seen jurisdictions refuse to issue Canada-wide warrants or have people extradited back to Ontario, you know, that had outstanding warrants for armed robbery, for God's sake.

But here's this little, you know, little 60-year-old indigenous woman being hauled across the country in leg irons. on a goddamn mischief charge, excuse my language. Like this, you know, that's, to me, and when Trudeau, you know, set out the riot horses to run over that indigenous elder in Ottawa peacefully protesting, and David,

that loser David Lamedi and what, I can't remember the other jackass his name now, joking around. Marco Mendocino. Yeah, Mark Mendocino, which interestingly, it's probably a version of liar in Italian, but, you know,

but anyway, you know, Mendocino joking, or claiming to have been joking, only joking about trying to locate leopard tanks to run over the protesters with, so that they could reenact Tiananmen Square in Canada, right? I mean, at that point, I wasn't Canadian anymore. I'm done.

Like, I'm, you know, I'm sorry. Like, people might not like to hear this, but I'm a fucking Albertan, and that's it. Like, I'm done. If I may switch to the conversation just slightly now that Marty's in, um, Karnie was in, you know, talking about, I think we all assume,

we're going to find out here pretty, pretty quick. Oh, Oh, Marty up north folks went to the Carney event in Calgary. And I was just kind of curious. Like, what,

you know, like, was there 10 people there? What was the feeling? And then we can just, I'd be curious everyone's thoughts on Carney being the next, I assume prime minister. Maybe it's not a foregone conclusion.

It feels like it is. Yeah. So that picture, by the way, is my, my wife. No, because I needed assistance to get in.

Because you were on the do not, you were on, you were blacklisted. I was blacklisted, but I mean, they accepted my vote. Freeland accepted my vote. It was a nightmare to register as a liberal and then to qualify to vote. But I went through their convoluted process and I actually voted for Freeland. And maybe that's why they wouldn't let me in. Maybe it's not because I'm Marty up north. Maybe I'm on the list because I'm a Freeland supporter instead of a Carney supporter.

And did you vote for, incidentally, did you vote for Freeland? of her support of the idea that Canada seeks an alliance with nuclear powers to help defend Canada against the United States? Was that why you supported Freeland? No, I supported Freeland because she's proud Albertan. I'm being very sarcastic here. No, I, you know, it was a strategic vote because I voted for Freeland because I think she would be the funniest opponent for Pueleve, you know, I just want to see her redeem herself. And I'll say this. They tried to kick her out for the party, and she's putting up a really good fight.

I mean, you know, Carney is the selected chosen one. They want to install him. It's not an election. You know, don't fool ourselves. But I thought Freeland put up a good fight, and I like underdogs. So anyway. Well, there you go. Yeah, to your point, Sean, so there's about 300 people at the event,

and maybe 400 and I broke it down saying I think there was about 100 volunteers I think there was about a hundred um true Carney fan which completely surprised me there is about a hundred maybe

liberals that are trying to decide if they like Carney or not and then there was a hundred fringe minority troublemakers like myself I mean it was awesome to see a third of the people who went there that weren't working there were fringe minorities coming to check it out,

bringing their unacceptable views with them? I could see them walking. I mean, so my personal story is I showed up there. I tried to get in, and I couldn't get in. They didn't have my name on the list. So then I walked back and then I saw a friend and I got in with him because there was a rule that you could bring a friend. And he tried and he got in, but then they wouldn't let me in.

So then I went back to the list. this point I'm looking for Andy Lee and I'm looking for Wyatt and then whatever and uh, Deidre, I'll mention her. Diedra saw me. She waved me over and I, and at that point I was dejected. I'm like, I'm not getting in. She's like, oh, no, you're getting in. What she had done is the process of registering is so convoluted that, uh, she registered

twice. She registered once and then she thought she wasn't, she was unsuccessful. So she registered twice. So her name was actually on the list twice. and so I went in as her spouse and when they said well your ID doesn't match the name they said oh whatever they finally gave up but and honestly we got checked about six or seven times like and you know they could have simplified the process and give us a stamp but no every every 10 yards in the line there was somebody with a stack of names trying to find names on there and if you weren't

on there you you got sent back to the to the beginning I mean and I'll say this too right like they're in a panic because I was at the injection of truth. You guys were there, right, on Monday night. And it's Monday night that I found out that Carney is coming to town. Like Monday night, so I'm officially I'm a member of the Liberal Party. So Monday night I get an email saying, hey, you know, Carney's coming to town. Click here to register. So I registered on Monday night.

We knew that he was coming on Tuesday at 530, but we didn't know where. And that's when I got nervous. Like by 3 o'clock, some of my buddies are saying, you know, they know where. And I and nice so anyways they they they they announced his arrival less than 24 hours in advance because they didn't want any no they wanted as small a crowd as possible. There was no media. He gave no interviews to he said that he brought in local media despite the fact that they kicked out Western Standard. But he said that they they invited local media. They they provided if you see what they did afterwards they provided their own footage.

to local media and local media were allowed to do whatever they want but you won't you didn't see any interview he he wasn't interviewed by by anybody um from local media and and that's why they didn't want guys like me in there because we were going to tape and so and i was nervous the whole time and you saw that not nervous yeah nervous i mean i'm being eyed by the rcmp and whatever i mean i know they're looking at me right at one point they finally clued in maybe it was the fact that i'm wearing a blue hoodie i got my big beard and i got a t-shirt that says i'm happy or whatever like I do not look like the typical liberal. So I didn't want to press my luck.

You know, I played it casual, just held up my old handheld phone and recorded like a, but yeah, platitudes. I mean, he said nothing. Actually, not entirely platitude. He, to me, it felt almost like he had a rehearsed, not felt like he had a rehearsed speech, teleprompented speech, but his speech was like standard Ontario Quebec fair. And he actually let out a couple of truth bombs for here in Alberta. I was like, whoa, you should have changed your speech, right?

But it goes over most people's head. Well, like he quite honestly talked about transfer payments and how, you know, we stand for, we're kind, we're liberals, we look after everybody, but we can't redistribute money unless we are in power. So he used the word redistribute twice. Well, talk about not. Talk about not reading the room. Or I suppose the Alberta liberals are all for redistributing our money. The Alberta liberals, they didn't care.

I mean, that was what's fascinating. If it was really, you know, intelligent people would have listened to him and gone, holy shit. Because, you know, he's like Canada, on the one hand, he said, Canada's not broken. You know, the conservatives have you believe Canada's broken. And he keeps saying Canada's not broken. But then two minutes later, he's like, you know, I'm a fighter.

I learned to fix things. and I'm going to fix what's broken. Like he's almost that language, right? He contradicts himself. I mean, he's like, Canada needs a new leader. Canadians are tired of, Canadians are tired of the government, he almost said. And Canadians need change. I'm like, yeah, Canadians want change, but it ain't, you know, we don't want more liberals.

We want change. So he was quick. I mean, he spoke for about 15 minutes and not even 15, all teleprompted, including the jokes. and then he walked out without shaking hands. He shook one hand on his way out, and then they whisked them away because he had,

our event was supposed to start at 5.30. It didn't start till 7. And then he had another private event afterwards that was supposed to start at 7, which I guess probably started at 9. Curious on this group of guys. Can Carney win the next federal election, assuming he is the next prime minister?

I hope he does. But, But can he? Oh, yeah. Well, I think, I think so. Well, no, you're right, because he won't get Montreal. The block is going to throw all the liberals out of Quebec. So they're not going to have Quebec.

But I honestly think that Pollyev is in danger of losing Ontario, right? And here's why. And then Marty, you can tell me why I'm a bullshit. Okay. So what I think... I would also like to. Yeah. Okay, that's fine.

Yeah. Line out. So, but anyway. Anyway, my concern is, and I had a really, really, really long discussion with my local MP about this. I said, look, I'm really, really concerned that Pierre is following in the footsteps of Aaron O'Toole. And instead of standing up and saying, vaccines are wrong, this is wrong, mandates are wrong, this is a principled position that we're taking as a principled conservative party, he instead went, oh, but we have to be vaccinated, so we'll vaccinate you nicer. And we, yeah, and people need to be locked up. We'll lock you up more kindly.

It was like, you know, what the hell? Like, you know, he was not there for us. And as a result, people said, like, why do I want liberal light? If I want a fascist dictator, I'll vote for a fascist dictator. I don't need to pretend fascist dictator, right? And then so I told my MP, and I said, that's what I'm really concerned about with Polyev is that he's going down this road where he's already said that he's not going to commit to ending the national embarrassment of Canada.

as gross underfunding of our NATO defense and international defense commitments by over by 100%. He's, you know, he's on the, I'm going to continue to embezzle money from the United States for at least five or six more of your plan, which I take, you know, if you believe in Canadian sovereignty, you can't accept our country not meaning its international defense obligations, right? So he lost me there. And then I told my MP, I said, listen, and then I said, all this tariff stuff, I said, he can't be liberal life on this. He's got to come out and be the adult in the room. He's got to come out with a really hard-hitting plan as to how we're going to, Canada as a

country is going to completely address each and every one of Donald Trump's concerns, including NATO underfunding. And that's what prompted me to write my substack. Little Justin Trudeau starts a tariff war where I laid out a 13-point plan as to how the tariff war could have been completely avoided and would have been completely avoided and how Canada could actually regain its self-respect globally as a meaningful, you know, strategic defense partner, right? Yeah, take it back. I agree with you completely. Yeah.

Yeah. Trudeau, you know, Canada has been under liberal leadership for, what, 70% of the 157 last years, right? So it's our, it's the de facto, give me a chance, please. dude like man oh well i'll just i'll wind up i just have one quick picture and then i'll finish okay and then i'll shut up for at least 10 minutes okay i promise so but no but the whole issue is and to finish on that so um i know that document got into uh paulio's hands from at least two different sources right um but the issue for pauliev is that he thinks and he's being advised that trump and quebec in the maritime have such great trump derangement syndrome that he cannot come

out and say President Trump, you're right, we're sorry, and we're going to solve these problems. So he's now basically on the Trump bashing train with all the Trump deranged people, and he thinks that's going to get him elected. I think it's going to cost them the election because, again, they're going to go like, well, why should we vote for you? Because, you know, we're Trump deranged and you're not as Trump deranged as Carney is. So we'll vote for the guy that's really Trump deranged. And I think that's what's going to happen.

I'll shut up now. Sorry, no, no, he's stuck between a rock and a hard place. I mean, he has to, like, I've talked to people, a lot of people, and people who were big Trump fans are suddenly not fans of Trump. So, you know, and Pierre was almost quoting Trump word for word a month ago. And now, you know, so Pierre has to be very careful with that. I think Pierre's best, what Pierre is hoping for right now is that Trump does what he's doing, reverses himself, and then takes himself out of the equation. So let's take Trump out of the equation. If Trump is out of the equation, and we're just back to Canada of four months ago,

people tend to like, people tend to vote liberals. And they were not going to vote for Trudeau anymore. That's a fact. And Carney presents them an opportunity. People wanted to have an excuse to vote liberal. They do. And so Carney's giving them that excuse. I think, I'm hoping that Carney does.

I'm hoping he misreads the the the opinion and goes into an early election that would be fantastic because if Carney pierre's best hope right now is that actually Carney stays a little bit longer so he can have that one-on-one debate in the House of Commons and make him look like an idiot I mean Carney is not a politician he even said it the other day and uh he like the house of Commons has nothing to do with common sense right it's it's it's it's it's a blood sport And if Carney is in the House of Commons against Qualiev, he will look like a clown. That's not a differentiator in the liberal leadership, though. You're literally describing every one of their candidate.

It's a differentiator in the next federal election if they don't steal it from us. The question was simply, can Carney win? I think he can. There's a path to victory for Carney. And the path to victory for Carney is Trump continuing to do what he's doing. which puts Paulyev between a rock and a hard place and the liberals are going to keep taking advantage of that. So there is a path for victory for Carney.

If Trump shuts up, reverses himself a little bit on these tariffs, then he takes away that path to victory for Carney, and then it's back to Puelleves. And I totally agree with Jeff. It is Puelleves to win, but he has to be extremely strategic. He's going to have to pivot and do something, because if he goes exactly down this path,

if it comes down to resume, and popularity, Paul Yves going to lose, man, because the, like, Carnie's, you know, he's a better looking guy, he's better spoken in public, and,

and he has a nice resume. Look, he worked at the Bank of England. They don't even know what the fuck that means, but everybody's going to go look. He looked at the working bank, he worked at the Bank of England. It's got to be good.

I mean, that was funny. He said, he's with the king, yeah. Yeah, here's the thing, is that you guys are, sorry, 10 minutes of nowhere near. I'll show. But, right.

Let me say one quick thing. Even at the speech on Monday, or on Tuesday, he joked about, he attacks Pahliav that way. Like, he attacked Paulyev for being a career politician. And the crowd applauds him, which is hilarious because the crowd is a crowd of career civil servants. You know what I mean? And yeah, liberal voters are dumb, man. Holy smokes. No, they absolutely are.

So don't underestimate what they'll do. But a month ago, Pollyev was basically looking at an. open net. The liberals had screwed everything up to the point where all he has to do is show up, say a couple pithy things, have a decent comms team, and it's his to lose. And then now it's actually gotten interesting. Now he, to your point, he's got to be strategic, he's got to be smart about this. And to Jeff's point, saying that you're just slightly different than the liberals, it's not a differentiator, right? The smart thing for him to do, would say, look, I don't care what you think about the guy.

He brought up some valid points about the shit that's happening in this country. Here's exactly what the liberals have been doing wrong. And it doesn't matter who points it out. It's still wrong regardless. Actually, what Trump is what Trump is doing is he's pointing out, Trump should be a wake-up call for all of us. And Puellev should just say Trump is right. And he's bringing up everything that's wrong with us,

which is what I've been bringing up, and we're going to fix it. and I'm going to be an ally of Trump's. I think there is definitely a good path there. I mean, what's Trump saying? Protect your border, boost your economy, you know, get productive,

lower your taxes, fight inefficiency in your government, get rid of corruption. I mean, like, why wouldn't that sell? Like, it's crazy.

But if I watch, we did the Ontario live election coverage. And when I talk to Ontario, and you can disagree or back me up on this, they like the, like they don't like Doug Ford, but they had no other option. And if you watch the playbook of what Doug Ford did,

he created Trump as the enemy and ran off that. Or am I wrong on how he presented it? Isn't that how he won Ontario again? I mean, other than they had no other option? That was exactly why he called the snap election just because of that. He saw an opportunity with Trump as the enemy. Well played, Doug. But why he won as well or as strongly as as soundly as he did

was because he was going up against a couple fucking idiots. idiots, right? Like I, I am not a huge scrapper, but I will fight as many babies as you want to throw at me. Elbows up, man. Elbows up, elbows up. They even said that at the Carney Riley the other day. Elbows up. We don't teach that in hockey, man. Sean, is that something you teach? Elbows up in hockey? It's a callback to Gorey. It's a callback to Goree. It's, yeah. Yes, yes. Any final thoughts before we let you boys out of here. Jeff, you've been silent for probably four minutes. Jeff, we'll pause the clock.

You may now speak. Yeah, any final thoughts? Look at how red face you are from being quiet this long. Give us some thoughts. Whether it's on Carney or it's on the delegation or anything. Just any final thoughts before. No, no, but I want to go back to the Carney thing. I've set up a website so people are really easily accessed my substack now.

It's called AlbertaStatehood.com. So it's capital A, alberma, capital S statehood.com. And if you go into my substacks and read that little Justin Trudeau starts a tariff for and look at the 13-point plan that I drafted, I drafted that in consultation with Lieutenant Colonel David Redman, who's an expert in national defense and protecting the border after 9-11. And, you know, with my conservative member of parliament, you know, as a 13-point plan that Pauli up could run on. You know, and it doesn't have to be, I love Trump, whatever, whatever, but this is what we have to do as a country to get back on track.

That plan would get him elected. You know, and so I'd like, you know, people to consider that. And I would certainly, you know, if anybody in and around Pierre are listening, please go back and revisit that substack. You're not going to win as liberal light. You have to differentiate yourselves and find a better way to go. The other thing that I'd just like to say, again, finally, is for everybody watching, if you support Alberta statehood, either as an independent nation with an economic union with the U.S. as a territory or as a state, please go to APP and volunteer, sign up with APP, make a donation.

The more people, the more members we have in APP, the more we threaten the UCP establishment in this party. And to the extent that we still have so many Kenny cabinet ministers, you know, I think I've gone back to referring to the UCP as the United Corruption Party of Alberta. So the more people that sign up for APP, the more it's going to force Danielle to consider our legitimate need to have a referendum within six months. So anyway, I'm asking my fellow Albertans for your support. This is a call to engage, not a call to arms, but a call to engage in a very, very vibrant, important democratic process. And I really look forward to having all of your support. So thank you for having me on Sean and teams.

I really appreciate it. Marty, it's always a pleasure. Yeah, I appreciate it. Marty, any final thoughts? Closing thoughts, just real quick. In Karina Gould's campaign material, she was trying to distinguish herself from Carney and Freeland by saying she wasn't going to be conservative light,

which is bizarre. But so like the liberals don't want to be conservative lights, and I think the conservatives shouldn't be light liberals. Final thought is looking forward, you know, if next week we have a new prime minister, and as it stands, it's a sad state in Canada, because we're about to choose that less than 100,000 people are going to choose the next prime minister of Canada. That's pathetic.

That's less people than I have followers on Twitter. There you go. Jeff Rath and Marty up north. Thanks for hopping on with us this morning. Real pleasure, guys. Sean, thank you very much. There you go, folks. Okay, that two's, I'm watching the clock.

We got 21 change. Let's just go straight. Rapid fire. Rapid fire. Here we go. Come on. Let's go. All right.

Where do we want to start? Well, I don't know. Do you want to? How about we start with former H.S. Head, Anthona, Medesilopoulos, holy Macon, is that a name? Assuming the province for wrongful dismissal, alleging she was fired in January for looking into overpays on contracts with private surgical providers. The lawsuit also alleges she faced political pressures, including from Premier Daniel Smith's office, to sign off on deals despite outstanding questions surrounding excessive costs and who was benefiting.

You know, it's interesting. This is maybe just a touch inside baseball, but I was talking with somebody about this. And she had sent an email to the justice minister that she's attempting to sue over this a little while ago. And the reply was, cool, I want to hear more about this. Can you expand on it? And then tell us more about this.

What's going on? We need to know what's going on. And it was just met with silence, silence, silence, silence. And it's really interesting because, Because, you know, she's saying I presented this to the board of AHS and then they said we should pursue an investigation or, you know, put this over to the RCMP. And then the entire board was fired. But here's the thing is the entire board was fired because they fucking sucked. And so it's interesting because the way I see it, this goes one of two ways is you've got either everybody sucks.

you've got the corruption and you've got the large S, if you will, or the other way is that AHS is trying to do, they're just trying to lash out because their lucrative careers of doing fuck all have been sidelined by some attempts at accountability. I don't know which way it's going to go. I know that the NDP really interesting takes on this. Like, have you seen what Nenshi had to say about this? Yes, but you can fire away.

Okay, I got to find the damn thing. Where the hell is Nenshi in all of this? Where is Nenshi? Here we go. So Nenshi says, we're happy RCP is investigating hashtag corrupt care scandal. They even went so far as to name it.

And as far as I know, they're the only people who called it that. These allegations of bloated contracts are incredibly serious. If you have information, we want to hear from you, email us at corrupt care at AlbertanDP.c. I'm going to say,

right now, if you have information about corruption in the government, you take it to the fucking police, not the fucking, not, not a political party. Secondly, this is just classic pot, kettle, black situation. So the point that the NDP are taking umbrage with is that people are using political connections to make government contracts more expensive, which is literally the entire fucking playbook for the NDP and unions in our entire generation. It's let's vote in the NDP because they will give us bloated contracts where we have no accountability. We get nothing fucking done and we pay way too much for it. But the money goes into the insiders pockets.

That's literally how the NDP run provincially and federally. And so for them to say, you know what? it's a damn shame that a political party is giving their political friends and donors preferential contracts with no accountability and overinflated price tags to their own personal betterment. That's fucking insane. That's literally how the NDP run. So maybe they might want to sit this one the fuck out. You brought up the headline with Jeff Rath, but this is Freeland and Nukes.

This is what he was talking about. Canada should seek closer ties with Britain because it's. nuclear weapons can help protect the country against Donald Trump. And I'm going to go a little further. In order to guarantee our security, Ms. Freeland said she would build a closer security partnership with the European NATO allies. And I would be sure that France and Britain were there who possessed nuclear weapons. I would be working urgently with those partners to build a closer security relationship

in a time when the United States can be a threat. Daniel Smith thought that was a ludicrous statement to make. I would agree. It is. Just imagine for a second. that the actual nuclear holocaust that we've been worried about for decades with the Ruski's and the Americans actually ended up getting started by a petulant Laurentian idiot trying to bomb Chicago.

Tariffs. I mean, New Zealand, Australian and U.S. dairy companies are accusing Canada of dumping low-priced milk products on the world markets and are asking their governments to intervene. Trump removes tariffs on anything under the U.S. MCA agreement with Mexico until April 2nd. At what point are we going to admit in Canada that this diarrhea cartel is bad for us? Katie Simpson's senior correspondent of the CBC, according to senior Canadian government source, Trump became heated with Canada's protections around their dairy sector, said it's an example of how U.S. is treated poorly.

That is where the profanity was used by the U.S. president's sources say that Trudeau did not use profanity, whether or not that's true. And then you got the Florida government, Governor DeSantis, quoted 3.3 million visitors from Canada. That's not much boycott in my books. Maybe they wanted to get a glimpse of what a Stanley Cup winning hockey team actually looks like. This is actually pretty good. He's a gay. He's a gay. He's a day.

He's a gay. He's a day of Florida. This includes 3.3 million visitors from Canada. That's not much of a boycott in my book. Maybe they wanted to get a glimpse of what a Stanley Cup winning hockey team. hockey team actually looks like. How do you feel about that, Sean? Yeah, I'm a little bit sour that.

Trudeau also quoted, yeah, we're probably going to keep booing the American anthem. I don't know if you want to play that clip. That, that, uh, uh, uh, just like Justin Trudeau cannot get out of the way fast enough. Listen to this. Put it back up on street and Tuesday. Canadians are angry. We're going to choose to not go on vacation in Florida or Old Orchard Beach or Just to be clear, nobody in Canada at this state and the fucking economy is choosing not to go on vacation.

They can't fucking afford it because of the fuckstick in the middle of our screen right now. Wherever, we're going to choose to try to buy Canadian products and forego bourbon and other classic American products. And yeah, we're probably going to keep booing the American anthem. but let me tell Americans we're not booing you, we're not booing your teams. This is the most important part of this clip by the way. You're booing. We're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us.

Do you remember Sean way back, go into the way back machine and remember when people were saying we need to close the borders because there's this virus running loose in China and people like that fuckhead told us to our fans, that we were being racist.

When we were saying anything critical of China and the fact that they had two people in prison for like three fucking years, don't be racist. Don't be racist. Anything you're saying bad against the Chinese government just gets written off as racism. And then here's him when it's his thing that he's talking about saying, oh, we're not, we're not saying this against the people. We're saying it against the politicians. get the fuck out of here. The shoe has to go on both feet. That's not a valid metaphor, but you know what I'm saying?

Daniel Smith commented, no further purchases of U.S. alcohol or new VLTs will be permitted. Then this quoted further, this economic attack on our country combined with the continued talk of using economic force to facilitate the annexation of our country has broken trust between our two nations in a profound way. It is a betrayal of a deep, abiding friendship. But let there be no mistake.

and as independent as we are. Burntons are strong and loyal Canadians. I would harken back. Why don't you just leave it up to us? If the politicians in our country have done such a great job of rallying Canadians, if they've done such a

wonderful job of reigniting this long dormant patriotism that all these fucking Canada post workers and fucking passport office workers have recently rediscovered, if they've done such a wonderful job, of this. They don't need to make it illegal.

American beer is already garbage. Why do you have to make it illegal? You don't have to make it illegal. It already sucks. All these politicians are being goddamn idiots. And Daniel Smith was going on about this whole like, ooh, Alberta's not going to be a 51st state. Look, Danielle, we already have a far left talking point. Laurentian boosting idiot in Alberta politics. We don't need another one.

If we wanted somebody who was going to say dumb shit like this, we would all rally behind Nahed Nenchi, but we're not doing that. So be better, do better. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday announced 37 billion in child care programs with 11 provinces and territories and has attempted to make it irrevocable for future governments. I've been working with our provincial territorial partners

to make sure that families can rely on this system, not just for years to come, but will allow the system to lock in to become something that no government a year from now, five years from now, 20 years from now could ever go back on. Well, here's, so how many times have I said in previous episodes that Trudeau is going to raise the fields behind him on his way out during his forced retreat? This is him just fucking things over. this is why when people give their two weeks notice quite often, you just say, okay, well, you know what, we'll pay you for the,

we'll pay you for the next two weeks, go home, stay home, don't wreck anything. This is what happens. It would say, okay, we, he's quitting, but let's just leave him in charge for a while. And then on his way out, he's like, I'm going to fuck over everybody because what are you going to do about it? Let's come a little closer home, Saskatchewan, six Regina teens are facing assault charges after taking part in a catch, a predator TikTok trend. They would create an online profile on Grindr,

masquerading as a 15-year-old boy to confront suspected predators and meetups. At least four such confrontations led to assault charges against use. I'm going to read about the first one. No, not just assault charges, but also theft charges. Continue. This is, Suspects were posing, this is quoted from the police. The suspects were posing as a 15-year-old boy during the online interaction

and then filming the subsequent assaults with the intention to share on social media platforms as part of a catch-it predator online trend. When officers arrived, they located the male youth holding a silver piece of pipe in the air, facing an adult male who was injured. The police service said officers were able to de-escalate the situation and take the first suspect into custody. The victim was treated for injuries in a local hospital and released the police service said, and an investigation revealed two other male suspects were also involved in the alleged assault. A 15-year-old boy, a 16-year-old boy, a 17-year-old boy,

all are facing charges of aggravated assault connection that incident. the police service said. Now here's, I just want to point out this. So one of the other things. So the assault charges, but also theft charges. The second case happened October 12th, 2024, when a man arranged a meetup through the dating app. When he arrived at the proposed address in the 2,200 block of Edward Street,

he reported being assaulted outside the residence by six or seven males wearing masks. The suspects also took alcohol. from the victim before leaving. This fucking predator showed up to get a fucking child drunk so that he could sexually assault them. These guys beat them up

and took his booze away and they charged them with theft. This is the country we're living in. Trump, you want to do some tariff shit? You say, we're going to tariff more of your shit until you fucking crack down on this.

these here's how ineffectual our fucking RCMP is is that a 13 year old boy and some of his buddies can set up a to catch a predator and it becomes an entire fucking ring of them easily easily and then these guys just keep showing up and where are the cops on this it's not this isn't a question of whether you think what they're doing is right or wrong because hey what they're doing is right absolutely but b if a 13 year old kid kid can catch a fucking predator and then do it multiple times in the same fucking city. There's something wrong with our fucking justice system. Ruby Dalia says that Canada needs to withdraw from the Paris Accord and end the carbon tax.

I think she's more conservative than conservatives. Yeah. Like seriously, she's, you've got Pollyev trying to be Aaron O'Toole all over again, like Jeff was talking about before. and you've got a liberal leadership hopeful that's been ousted coming up on his right-hand side. Look, Pollyev, if that, if everything we said before wasn't a wake-up call, how about the fact that you are further left than one of the liberal leadership candidates? Drug labs, multiple stories here. Cause of deadly, Langley, BC explosion may be consistent with illegal drug labs,

says police, no kidding. RCA confirmed. I just want to point out, here's the picture from it. This is the blown up house. And I don't know how many random drums you keep in your house, but there's a lot of random fucking drums in the debris of this fucking explosion. They say it seems to be consistent with that found in illegal truck lab. But they're not the only ones. Quebec on Friday, the mountains were still dismantling the clandestine lab in Gore, Quebec, about 90 kilometers northwest of Montreal. Officers also found a hidden room underneath the garage where they found a synthetic drug lab. There you go.

There you go, twos. After the search, they seized large quantities of chemicals, precursors, and excipients, as well as pill press and other equipment. If you scroll down in that article, you'll see the giant pill press, I believe. Keep going. Keep going right there. I believe that's the pill press. Anyways, for synthesizing suspected methamphetamine and producing several million pills is what they got in Quebec.

And then New Brunswick, RCEP. Well, I just want to point out this first picture. anybody who's an avid home brewer is looking at this picture and being like, holy shit, I've got that stuff, I've got that stuff, I've got that stuff, I've got that stuff, I wonder if I'm on a watch list. RCMP and Richie Buckto,

I don't know if that's right, continue to investigate about how 40,000 pills with an estimated street value of 200 grand ended up in a wooded area. Oh, would you look at that. I would say climate change, obviously. Oh, man.

And then they found 40,000 pills worth 200 grand in the woods. Now, if they were having fun with it, they would say something like, hey, guys, we found a bunch of medication in the woods. If you're looking for it, drop by the precinct and you can claim it. That's what they should be saying. Yes. And then you have this group right here. Okay. I'll just bring it up.

It says, big theft bus, peel police announced five arrests. made in prolific theft ring targeting LCBO alcohol. And you can see on the bottom of the things are going around. These guys are going around stealing booze in Ontario. I guess they're not going to be able to steal American booze anymore because they're off the shelf again. Imagine how much you must hate your fucking job if you work at one of the liquor stores in Ontario,

where it's put all the booze on the shelf, take all the American booze off, put it back on, take it all off, put it all on, take it all off. Oh my God. But yes, so these guys, you've got Shamdeep Singh, Simmerangeet Singh, Samanpreet Singh,

Samanpreet Singh, Anut Kumar, and Prabreet Singh. Sing with me, sing for the year, sing for the laughter, sing for the tear. You got, you remember we were plotting a bunch of places getting rid of the DEI? Well, the University of Alberta is hiring a dean of public health with a salary range of 248 grand to 365,000. for grant and the job requirements include a demonstrated commitment to DEI. Yes, despite the fact that supposedly the UCP has put forth a thing saying that if you're, if you're focusing on DEI, your funding is going to get cut as far as universities go. So they're doing it despite this. I wonder if they're going to face any pushback.

The other thing is that this is a, the low end of this is $248,000 and the high end. end is over 350. This person has the potential to make almost as much money as the fucking prime minister. And not even dean of the whole unit, like not even president of the whole university, you're dean of a specific segment of it, which means that presumably the guy who runs the fucking university or whoever it is, I'm assuming it's a guy, but looking at this, well, maybe they do DEI there too. Okay. Presumably that person, makes more. Can you honestly tell me that you get much better results by throwing $364,000 at the salary of one of your top brass? Come on. That is not responsible use of the fucking funneled taxpayer dollars.

Here you got Elizabeth. Elizabeth May confirms discussions with the liberals and the NPP to join forces to prevent a single party from forming a majority with 100% power with less and 50% of public support, isn't that just rich? Yes. So here, I'm going to play just a bit of this. Commitment to be willing to talk other parties to talk about what it takes. Watch her eyes in this. Pass the post voting system to remind Canadians that we don't elect a prime minister in this country.

We elect a parliament. There are currently five parties in the House of Commons. and if we were to find a way to cooperate, we could ensure at least that neither one of the big parties gets a false majority with 100% of the power with less than 50% of public support. So what she's saying is that a plurality for the prime minister is no longer acceptable.

And what she's getting at here is what's happened in Germany, what happened in France. I think it happened in Brazil too, but don't quote me on that. where they just, the parties that don't want the far right, ridiculous right wing party to win, they just pick one, okay, I'm not going to run candidates in these writings. You're not going to.

Everybody says they can't see what you just saw. So your desktop share, I saw it. I don't know if that's everyone, but. Okay, well, whatever. Okay, we'll go without it for the rest of it. But the point is, well, that's fine. I mean, we can adapt. We got, we got like 30 seconds left.

I gave twos until a quarter after, you know. All right, okay. We're going to sit here and talk. Elizabeth May wants to subvert democracy by only running candidates in certain writings and getting the liberals and the NDP on board with that so that they can just what people were wanting to do with Harper 10 years ago. Okay, next one. Thousands of public servants in biggest federal departments breaking remote work rules.

DND saw lowest rates of compliance. These people do not give a shit about doing what they're actually being. paid for because they get paid anyway. Fuck them. Bring on Doge. Black locks. Hot mic moment. Shit. I really wanted the fucking screen sharing. No, no. No, no. They can hear it.

So play the audio. We'll play the audio. We'll play the audio. Black lock. There's a couple people here who I am absolutely check the list to make sure who's listening. Absolutely not keen to give questions to. I do not want to be in a situation where we're allowing black locks

to be asking us. So, yeah, that is the Bank of Canada media director. That's a, he doesn't want to answer. Okay. Anything from black locks. Blacklocks, as much as I love to point out how unbiased I am, unequivocally, the least biased of all media in this country, probably in most of the world, if not all of it, is black locks.

They don't do any opinion columns. It's literally just these are the foips. this is what we got. Follow the money. Here's the money. Here's the money. Here's the money. And as somebody who's the director of the bank of Canada, nothing would make them more mad than following the money. The Maverick Party, no more. Effect of February 28th. Yes. So now that Maverick Party has shut down, Colin Krieger can pass the manel on. And the worst political leader in this entire fucking country is now Jagmeet Singh.

America, a liberal woman gets sterilized in an effort to prevent making any Nazi babies. You heard me that. You heard that correct, folks. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I had the fact that she had a moment of honest conversation with herself. Here, watch this video, okay? Watch this video. This is right here.

We're going to blow this up. You don't need the sound on for this one. Just watch. This is South Korea. So this, the Southern Korean Air Force and a joint exercise with the United States. on Thursday accidentally dropped eight bombs on their own citizens in the village of Dong Mion in whatever province. You get the point.

Yeah. Yeah. So it was supposed to be just a training exercise. And then presumably some DEI hire got the directions wrong and they ended up dropping delivering the bombs at the wrong place. You know, you think you're having a bad day. And then that goes on. Hoofda.

You got Regina. On a daily basis of Regina ambulance sends out a code zero. radio alert when there are no available units because all of them are on assignment. EMTs tell us the shortage is a serious problem largely due to patients with non-emergency issues, essentially using ambulances of personal attacks to get the emergency room. They cite stubbed toes is one of the things. And hangovers. So let me just find it here real quick.

Just think about you calling the ambulance for a hangover. People like, I get it. I get it. I have been there. I have been there. I have had hangovers where I'm thinking the best way to handle this is probably a Star's helicopter right now. They've been that bad. I can appreciate it where you're coming from.

But the difference is that I didn't fucking call an ambulance because I drank too much rye whiskey. As if there's a such thing. Back to back to back. I don't know if this has ever happened in the major. leagues before. But three pitches, three home runs. Yeah, three pitches in a row. Detroit got against the Phillies, I think it was. Yeah, and preseason ball. Well, spring training. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. BC planning legislation that could

toll trucks traveling to Alaska, EB says. And if you go all the way to the bottom of this CBC article, and I mean all the way, all the way to the bottom, freight to Alaska, air less than 5% ground less than 5% Maritime more than 90%. So I get the fact that you want to just this is virtue signaling and spending a whole bunch of stupid government dollars with no fucking benefit.

Oh, we're going to stick it. We're going to stick it to the Americans because we're going to toll all the freight that comes up through BC to Alaska. Well, guess what? It's fuck all of a very small number. Because I mean, what does Alaska have for population? maybe 200,000 people. It's got less than a small city, well, a decent size city. And five percent of that, less than five percent of it gets driven up there.

Almost all of it. I mean, Anchorage. Anchorage is literally an anchorage where boats go. That's in the name. David Eby, that's in the fucking name. Justin Trudeau took down a video from 2015. where he went on a tirade about Canada is a broken country. And of course, Twitter being Twitter, X being X.

People found the video, then posted it. And I mean. So somebody had called out Justin Trudeau because he's saying, oh yeah, Pollyov keeps saying the country's broken. Pollyab keeps saying the country's broken. And then somebody actually found in the old Trudeau archives, him being the OG Canada is broken video guy. And they put it up.

And then Trudeau took the video down. and they're like, well, look at this. This is Trudeau is the OG Canada's broken guy. So, I mean, there's one thing he got right. This lady let go for twerking. Here she is in an interview. You'll see the twerking. Here you go.

There you go. Yeah. So again, we're talking about Alaska. Alaska Airways fired this poor woman for shaking her booty on an airplane. Now, I think the main takeaway, here is that she probably got fired for doing this while nobody was on board. Because let's face it, the flight industry has faced some issues lately. And if we got back to stewardesses like this, back when the airways were great, I feel like more people would want to fly.

The prime minister was running late again. And of course, Rosie. Rosie Martin ran coverage for it. I guess at the audience. We will excuse him. We will excuse him because... For the Prime Minister of Canada. He's running a little bit late.

We will excuse him because times are difficult. And this is a challenging moment for the country. Remember, Prime Minister in his last week on the job, a new liberal leader is being chosen. So let me just point out real quick that this guy isn't late because times are difficult. And he's facing an unprecedented crisis. He's late because he's been. fucking late for every fucking thing for the entire time that he was prime minister. You know what's crazy?

The right answer. Sorry. No, what's crazy about this? Joe Mama said, sorry, guys, none of your screen shares have been visible today, which is really odd because I can see everything. I'm looking at them. I'm looking at them. Weird.

Anyway. Okay. Well, whatever. The people listening while they drive have a leg up on everybody else this week. I guess so. But yeah, so, I mean, the correct answer to this would have been Justin Trudeau is late. always fucking late. He's going to go out the same way he ran every single day, which is to not be fucking on time for fucking anything.

So thanks a lot, Justin. Now I got to cover on live air because your ass is fucking tardy. I'm really, okay, so this is a Spanish teacher was arrested on Tuesday for having a sexual relationship with a 17 year old. She's 33. And guys, this is the worst time. in the entire mashup for us to have some sort of display issues. Because, guys, this woman is ferociously attractive. Like, this is fucking ridiculous. D'Lose Flores, which sounds hot.

D'Lose Flores. Oh, and this woman is spicy. And she got arrested for having sexual relations with a 17-year-old student. look regardless of where you stand on any of this you're going to give her a pass is that what you're about to do if you're about to give her a pass if you're a woman teacher

having sex with one of your students and you're also incredibly extremely fucking hot that should not be illegal there's no way that this is predatory there's no way so we just talked about earlier on

the show, Saskatchewan boys, reeling out predators and that, you know, they were doing the right thing. Now Tuesday is defending a very good lucky teacher. I told him before we started, I'm like, why is this in here? But I'm curious what you have to say. And now I've heard it. And you look at this picture, this picture of this woman that you guys can't see. Oh, she's a tamale. Right.

And so you say, all right, in what fucking universe would anything that she did with this kid be considered predatory? Okay. You could be the South Park episode where it's the kindergarten kid, Ike, having the relation with his kindergarten teacher. And if she looked like this, you'd be like, yeah, yeah, I get it. I get it. I get it. Because this isn't her saying, we should knock boots.

This is her saying, yeah, sure. Right? Like there's no way. There's no way that this was her idea. Because the minute she walked into the room, every single guy in that. classroom was like, oh, I hope I end up in the news over this. Hooters Bankruptcy. The news reporter held a moment of silence after finding out who is filed for bankruptcy

while on national television. And we can't, we can't show this to you. We can't show it. We can't show it. Basically, just out of the blue, he's sitting there next to this lady and he's like, let's have a moment of silence. And so he closes his eyes for a minute. She's like, what's going on?

But she bows her head. And then he says, yeah, all of Hooters is going bankrupt. Correct. Okay, finally. Oh, no, not finally. Oh, come on. We got it. I've given you an extra 10 minutes.

Nobody cares about Gatno. I get it. But we got to point out how fucking dumb they are. Fire away. We've got 10 seconds in the first two weeks of a crackdown on out of province plates. They put out a public call and said, some of your neighbors are doing shit that the government doesn't agree with. We want you to report them.

And 370 people in the great fucking bureaucratic. city of Gattano, fucking Quebec, turned in their neighbors. We have learned nothing from COVID. Happy news, twos. Happy news. I don't know if people can't see this. But anyway. People can't see this. The tweet says, a humble brag, 11 years ago, I had a window replaced and told the

contractor, hey, let me grab that hardware in case I need it and threw it in the drunk drawer. My wife mocked me today, 11 years later, a contractor working in a different room said, man, I wish we could get the exact hardware to replace a busted, piece and he went hang on a second took me 11 years but checkmate i feel so vindicated oh abso fucking luteley this is wonderful this is this is the kind of stuff i live for because we all do this and i'm maybe a little bit more overboard because i'll put it in a ziplock bag and i'll label the ziplock bag with what exactly the hardware is so you're not just looking through random

drawer or a bin but when you're like oh where are the screws for that thing you find oh here's the bag boom it's all in their good good to go. You're one of those. You're one of those. I feel like in every relationship, there's one of those, and then there's one like me who's this like, I'm never going to use this.

In the dumpster, it goes. In the dumpster. I would not be, I would not hold on to that for 11 years. That's me. Two's community notes. Let's call some things out before we get out of here today. There was, oh shit. Way back in the comments.

Yes, there was. You look for that. I'm going to read this one on. A veteran and RCMP rendezvous fishing weekend, March 15, 16th, 17th at, oh boy, Kipa Biska, Regional Park, Saskatchew, and all are welcome. Some accommodations are still available, and there is no limit for day trip visitors. For info, call Sheridan Ellingsen, 306, 873,0595. I'm sorry, where is Kippa Biscue Regional Park? I don't even know if I got that right.
