Starting point is 00:00:03 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. I've all of my impulsive plans. Popping, locking salsa dances on demand. I follow leading off the map to stop the chatter, scream happily. Welcome to the Masha.
Starting point is 00:00:20 Welcome to the MASHup. Welcome to the MASH up. Welcome to the MASH up. Doing a weekly show is a little bit frustrating at times. because a week is forever in news, current events, politics, all of that stuff that we talk about. And it just drives me absolutely bonkers when, in multiple instances, what I specifically want to talk about and this beautiful point I want to make
Starting point is 00:00:55 and how awesome it is gets, I get beaten to the punch because we only do one show a week. And I was talking with Sean about it and I was like, we should do more than one show a week. And I'll be honest with you guys, most of it is so that I could be the first person to say the thing that I'm thinking. And there's multiple times this week where you're going to be like, well, I've heard something like that before, Too's. It's not exactly an original idea.
Starting point is 00:01:19 It is. They just plagiarized it and said it before I had a chance to. Yeah, two's, yeah, yeah. You know what happens on my mornings? I'm shout out to Vesper. I'm sure he's sitting down about to, you know, do whatever they do and go back and watch the show. And to my father, because they both know, what am I doing Friday mornings?
Starting point is 00:01:38 I'm prepping for this bloody thing. And what do they both do? They both call. And then they both have very interesting things to say. And I'm like, I just, can we just hold off on this? Best one is the worst for that. Can you just hold off? You know exactly what I'm doing this morning.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Other than getting called out by Jason Kenny, I would like to point out. That was an interesting twist of my morning. I did not see coming out. Supposedly, I'm a lunatic boys and girls. Add that to the list of things that I now, am, you know, like we just keep going down. These badges of honor coming in, getting called out by a former premier. Well, I guess that's new.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Yeah, more, he's jealous because we're a hell of a lot more relevant than he is. Isn't that that he's doing everything he can to try and bring himself back into the limelight. But guess what? The North remembers and the West does not forgive easily. And he is exactly the kind of person. we don't want back representing us in any way, shape, or form. So you just go hang out with Allison Redford, and we're going to do our thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Yeah. What a wild, interesting morning. Happy Mashup. Welcome to Mashup 151. Here, I'm just going to show it because I think it's relevant. There you go, folks. Jason Kenny. And then somebody, Bob Gratton.
Starting point is 00:03:04 for that. A little homer after laughing. Zing. Anyways. He said, honestly, honestly, ignorant. I was asking what Carney said in French because I watched Viva Fry and he put out this thing on his like, his incantation. I'm like, I don't know. So then I'm like, well, I'll just ask
Starting point is 00:03:20 French people. What the heck is he actually saying? I'm sure it's probably something relatively simple, I assumed. Well, so the first part of it is basically him saying the French version of like, seriously, I can't remember. what exactly the literal was, but, uh, and then the second part of it was something like
Starting point is 00:03:40 it won't be or it, I can't remember exactly what it was, but it was him basically trying to repeat something and getting the translation wrong. And so it sounded like he was doing this incantation thing, but it was just him fumbling through the French of it because he sucks it. So Jason Kenny says, it's not a bad thing. Yeah. So Jason Kennedy says, he says, honestly, honestly, ignorant, ignorant, but for me, the much more prescient question is why the hell is your lunatic Q&Hon content getting pushed onto my X-Pade? So that was interesting. I said, I should probably add, SMP represents conservative, conservative Jason Kenney, Western values, and you sir are a blue tie wearing liberal. Yeah, the algorithms of X are slower to figure out
Starting point is 00:04:25 your hoax than the people of Alberta who punted you in 2022. So that's Jason Kenney walking into mashup, one, fifty, this morning. If you like the show, make sure we're waving a flag. We're sharing. We're retweeting. We're doing all that. Like, share.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Say rooster slurper in broken French. How do you say rooster slurper in broken French, too? Rooster slurper in broken French. Rooster slurper in broken French. Okay. All right. All right. There we go.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Happy Airborne Friday to all the military men. I'm sure they're out there. and, well, happy every on Friday. Yeah. Also, we have a couple corrections to make. We were going to make them last week, and I had them in the docket,
Starting point is 00:05:12 and then Sean doomed right past it. And so I would have to get a planner for it so that it doesn't get missed. So two weeks ago, I was talking about how low quality, I assumed that the Chinese EVs were. And I went off on, on great length about how they're garbage and how they're made by the same people who make everything we buy at the dollar store.
Starting point is 00:05:37 And this is from a country who couldn't even get a super virus built correctly. And so anyway, apparently they don't suck nearly as much as I assumed they would. Did I do any research into that? No, no. I thought it was pretty self-evident. Whenever something breaks, you say, oh, yeah, obviously it's made in China. And I assume that these vehicles would be no different. But apparently they're the first thing that China has made in a very long time that doesn't suck.
Starting point is 00:06:08 So, yeah, somebody, somebody called me out on that and was quite, quite vociferous about my, my lack of knowledge in the department, which I had none. It was entirely an assumption, which I thought was a fair one. And then the other one, when we did that heist, we covered the two heists in one week. And the second heist was the pigs that were in that art exhibit that were being. left to starve to death as art. I left a very important thing on the table. The obvious joke was that the guy who heist... Tews, are you gone?
Starting point is 00:06:48 Am I back? Yeah, you are back. Okay. All right, the guy who heisted them, I should have said that he saved their bacon. And it was a very obvious miss. And I'm very sorry about that. I know you guys expect more from me and I will...
Starting point is 00:07:01 We do expect more from you. The other, here's a fun little story for you of why I can't wear that hat. You want the fun story that I can, why I can't wear that hat? I'm guessing because your wife stole it and she wants to wear it all the time. No, my five year old started giving me the finger and I couldn't figure out, I couldn't figure out what was going on. I'm like, where did you learn that from? And anyways, I was sitting there and I'm like, that's such strange.
Starting point is 00:07:27 You're talking with some kid at school and whatever. And I'm like, I took, so I was sitting there and I looked down. I'm like, oh, all right, well, that goes in the box. Yep, there you go. So the five-year-old, yeah. Can't wear it around him anymore. No, no, no, you can't do that. Can't do that.
Starting point is 00:07:45 So one of the guys has been just sending me a whole bunch of pictures of it. He loves the hat. And the other guy said that his wife immediately stole it. So, yeah. It's a beauty hat. Cood's 6.5. Okay, this, this is, this, this, this, this, this, this, Oh, the story annoys me.
Starting point is 00:08:04 Okay, I'm going to bring a picture of one of the guys, okay? This is Nordan. Farah is a convicted violent offender, and the Emmington Police Service has reasonable grounds to believe he will commit another violent offense against someone while in the community. Farah is a violent offender of his multiple victims. Some have been strangers. Some have been persons known to him. So basically, it's not like he's got, anyways.
Starting point is 00:08:26 Thanks for that. No, no, no, no. It's important to read this out. And his crimes have resulted in physical harm or death. to his victims. So he is a killer. Okay? And they will release two of them, and this is Nordan.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Farah. So you have one picture, Norden. He's done this before, is my understanding. Oh, you don't get this. Okay, you miss, okay, here's the significance of this. We're going to go to my screen for a second. Oh, shoot, I got to remove yours and then put mine on. they did a change here. Okay. So this is March 24th, 2025. Here's a picture of him,
Starting point is 00:09:10 Norred and Farah, 36 years old. Farrow will be residing in Edmonton after being released from jail on Monday, March 24th, 2025. He's currently subject to a court order with conditions and will be managed by behavioral assessment. He's a violent offender of his multiple victims. Some have been strangers and some have been persons known to him. His crimes have resulted in physical harm or death to his victim. Now, this is because this put out, he's a convicted violent offender and Edmonton police has reasonable grounds to believe
Starting point is 00:09:42 he will commit another violent offense against someone while in the community. And that's why they put this out. Now, the second one is from June 2024, Nured and Fara, 35 years old. That guy put on City miles past them a while I tell you. This is six months ago. he will be residing in Edmonton
Starting point is 00:10:05 after being released from jail on June 6th Behavioral Assessment Unit of the Edmonton Police Services is currently applying for a peace bond Fara is a violent offender of his multiple victims, some have been strangers and some have been persons known to him, his crimes have resulted in physical harm or death to his victims.
Starting point is 00:10:21 They literally released the same guy six months later. All they did was update his photo and his age. They let him out six months ago he ended up back in jail. They're letting him out again.
Starting point is 00:10:38 The warning against the high risk to reoffend is copy-pasted from the one six months ago. This is why I appreciate having a co-host, folks. Thanks, Tews. What did I do wrong? You did everything right. For once you've done, I'm actually complimenting you. I'm actually comment. This is 151 mashups.
Starting point is 00:10:59 I go to Compliment Tews, and he's like, what did it wrong? I'm like, you did nothing. I'm suspicious. I'm suspicious. I literally, it doesn't matter. That was fantastic. I should allow twos to lead off with the,
Starting point is 00:11:13 with the Cout six and a half because his, his, anyway, it's perfect and absolutely insane all at the same time. I was literally talking to dad when he called about this, and I lost my crap on the phone. And then, anyways,
Starting point is 00:11:28 it doesn't matter. I literally wrote, it doesn't matter what I'm seeing on my side. That's why he got a co-host. folks. All right. Well, okay. All right. We're going to talk election? I have a massive election. Yeah. Well, let's, let's like, listen, folks, this week, there is a ton to cover. A ton to cover. Okay. Elections Canada has been in touch with social media platforms about election misinformation. Chief electoral officer, Stefan Perot, told reporters on Monday that he has reached out to social media sites such as X and TikTok to seek their support in making this election a secure election. He is saying, said he has been satisfied with the response so far. We'll see what action actually takes place during the election.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Hopefully they won't have to intervene. But if there are issues, hopefully they will be true to their word, he said. Yep. It also subhead report from foreign interference inquiry said disinformation, excuse me, single biggest risk to our democracy. Doesn't it make you the tiniest bit suspicious when elections, Canada is parroting word for word, the diatribe that has been coming from the liberals for years. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Well, this right here is election probably something, right? Yep. I mean, you go, yeah, we're on the list of things that they're like, don't like that. Well, what am I? A lunatic QAnon man now. Okay. Sure. Sure.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Yeah. So we're wanting to understand what Carney. babbled in French. Yeah. Yeah. So next one, Mark Carney faces plagiarism accusations for 1995 Oxford doctoral thesis.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Now, Mark Carney, you may remember, current leader of the Liberal Party, we technically don't have a Prime Minister right now, so he's just the Liberal Party leader. Does not have a seat. He scrapped the carbon tax, the consumer carbon tax.
Starting point is 00:13:33 He's campaigning on, removing GST for homes under a million dollars he is getting rid of the capital gains tax increase that just went through up all conservative platform planks and now it turns out that he has a long history of plagiarism and the interesting thing I'm not going to get too far into it you guys should absolutely go read this oh well here let's see here I got to a sign in. Okay. Well, it's not... You should absolutely go read this. Well, crap. Well, I didn't realize it was going to kick me out. Here's the difference between an article like this and the crap you see from the CBC.
Starting point is 00:14:19 See, when the CBC throws out a bunch of stuff, it's just largely unsubstantiated. They don't back it up with anything. And then that way, when they do throw BS, then it's not immediately evident in their articles. This goes through exactly, if we go down to the bottom of it, they've got the exact excerpts from his thesis and from where he plagiarized them from all the way through. This is how you write a news article. And it's very well done. Here's, let me remove you there, pull you in here.
Starting point is 00:14:59 They've been calling out saying it's very unprofessional. Why is he using his wife and kids on the campaign trail? here in Canada, we're so messed up. It's like, a guy launched. I'm back if you lost. I keep losing twos. Tos are you there? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:20 I can see you. Anyways, Pierre Pollyette, he's been getting called out for having his kids, his wife, on the campaign trail. I'm like, isn't that what a healthy human being does? Brings their family along? Oh, wait. No, we got to wait until they're divorced. And it'd be like they're divorced for a lot. long time.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Mm-hmm. And then you go to a Taylor Swift concert and to different things and you take pictures of it. What was the movie you went to? Barbie? Like, punch me in the face, people. Come on, Canadians. Be better.
Starting point is 00:15:51 And I know this is in our audience. I'm just like, yeah. Look at the, look at the quote tweets. There's so many, um, so he got ratio just on quote tweets. And it's all just example after example of liberals,
Starting point is 00:16:08 NDP people using their kids and campaign stuff. And so here's the thing is, the classic India picture. I can't see a darn thing you're sharing right now. Just throwing that out there. Well, darn it. We're having fun this morning. Do you want to exit and come back in to?
Starting point is 00:16:33 I don't know what you want to do right now. I can see an interview. I'm going to, I'll tease some up for you. But basically the point is, is that we have just endless examples of other parties doing this. And this is just the classic, it's the left. It's bad when other people do it. It's fine when we do it.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Election interference, foreign interference, cheating. The $16 orange juice versus SNC Lavalin. We don't care when it's our guy because it's our guy. And we care when it's your guy because it's your guy. whereas on this side of things, we care about the actual thing that happens. If you need to ask yourself, if you see something in the news,
Starting point is 00:17:20 and you're like, well, I wonder if that's something I think is good or bad. And before you make that decision, you need to find out who the person doing it was. You don't have integrity. Okay? That's it. That's it.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Okay. I'm going to jump out of this real quick. And I'm going to try and just, tether off my phone. But you're fine right now, Tews. Like, you're coming in loud and clear. So I just can't see anything you're sharing. Is this showing up?
Starting point is 00:17:51 I don't know. And somebody comment. Can anybody see what he's sharing? Because I can't. No, bring back up your screen. Let's just see if, can anyone see what he's sharing? I can see it online. So this is David Aiken, and it's funny,
Starting point is 00:18:07 because he goes through this thing about how he's representing grassroots conservatives who have these important questions. If you have important questions as a grassroots conservative, the last person in the world you're going to talk to about them is David Aiken. Okay? And so, okay, all right. Well, I'm going to sign out and come back in. But he did ask a very good question, which I doubt came from a conservative,
Starting point is 00:18:31 just about how all of these different people in the conservative party are getting handpicked. But it's funny, but it's funny. they'll do that to a conservative, but they won't go do that to Carney and be like, hey, you were pretty much handpicked. You pretty much eliminated all the other options. You kicked out Ruby Dala. So all of a sudden he's going to go to-
Starting point is 00:18:51 You kicked Chandra Aria out of his own riding so that you can run in it. And then we're going to get to Sean Frazier. Sean Frazier, who was one of the rats fleeing the sinking ship of the week a few weeks ago, he decided he was going to run again. after the other guy who had already rented space for the campaign headquarters, bought all the signs, began campaigning.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Sean Fraser was like, actually, you know what? I changed my mind. Get the hell out. Before we get there, exit out. Don't do your phone. Just exit and come back in. You keep talking. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Well, it's like I do a podcast, folks. I can probably handle a couple of minutes by myself. Tews may not agree. Man, there might be some people that don't agree as well. You know, I was sitting in here this morning reading through all this jazz. I don't know about all the rest of the Canadians, but you remember in 2019 as Trump was running against Biden for his second term. And like everywhere he went, he was selling out arenas. There was just like thousands upon thousands, probably tens of thousands of people.
Starting point is 00:19:55 And then, you know, it was like anything Biden did was just brutal. He couldn't do anything. Doesn't that feel like Canada right now? I'm walking through our headlights today. And I'm like, okay, so let me get this straight. Carney's associated with Epstein. Can we all agree that? There's pictures of it.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Okay. He doesn't speak French that well. I haven't found a single person that's French speaking that goes, oh, he's a slam dunk French speaker. Okay. We got a video coming up where he literally doesn't let the fishermen in. You know, not letting in the mashup or somebody like that into one of his rallies. I kind of understand when you lump us in with media and how we're going to talk and that we're lunatics.
Starting point is 00:20:37 I get it. But like the fishermen, I'm like, okay, you're not going to let the fishermen in now? And, you know, it's out of season. Well, the list just keeps going on and on and on. It's almost wild to me. Then you have, I mean, they're going to club him. They've got a lot of concerns and they're going to club him like a baby seal. Then you got Jagmeet Singh.
Starting point is 00:20:54 He's literally lighting the bus because they can't afford anything else. They can't afford a bus. He's literally been talking about this for like two years. they're going to be broke. They're literally broke in front of us. They're broken how. They're taking the bus. Like honestly,
Starting point is 00:21:09 okay, it's, so now the NDP is literally the short bus party, okay? Correct. They're not serious. They cannot get off the ground.
Starting point is 00:21:19 But somehow, this Neanderthal idiot is one election away from dragging his knuckles across the country. I'm going to exit him for just one second, folks, because he's going to interrupt me.
Starting point is 00:21:33 He walks in and he just takes over the shot. I want to finish my point. I got to do it without twos in here so I can say what I have to say. Dear me. Ah. Okay. So you got the, you got the NDP,
Starting point is 00:21:43 okay? They're literally riding a bus. You can see it. Then everywhere you go, you see conservatives flocking to Pierre Pollyev. I know everybody's got their thoughts on it. Pierre Pollyov is literally got thousands of people showing up to all his events. You can just see it.
Starting point is 00:21:56 You just see it. This is Trump in 2019. And yet the polls, which we're going to talk about, have inverted and they're trying to tell us, that the liberals are winning this thing? No. To me, to me, and now I'll let twos come back in.
Starting point is 00:22:11 To me, if the liberals win this thing, if the liberal mafia pulls this off, that's exactly what it is. This is a mafia, this is a cartel. They are doing chicanery everywhere to find their way into power. That is all this is, because everything I'm watching,
Starting point is 00:22:29 everything I read, I'm just like, this is hilarious. They're absolutely in the dumpster. It can't get any worse. Oh, wait, it can, and it probably will. Yeah, I mean, and they're doing the same thing that the Democrats did in the States. They bring up, they bring up Mike Myers and elbows up, and now they're doing all that. Like, what is going on here?
Starting point is 00:22:50 Well, I mean, Mike Myers, you know, classic, classic Canadian. So for those of you who don't know, Mike Myers showed up and he did a couple videos with Mark Carney, where they were hanging around, they were hanging around a hockey rink. And so Mike Myers, you know, you remember him from, you know, Wayne's World and Austin Powers. So I married an axe murderer. He was funny back in the day. And now he just looks like an old lesbian. And so he does these videos.
Starting point is 00:23:23 And apparently he got paid $53,000 for it. I wasn't able to confirm that yes or no. But supposedly that's what we're looking at here. So he does a couple cheesy videos, just like he did with John Oliver. leading up to the 2015 election. So, you know, his... And twos has disappeared again. This is funny.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Okay, I'm back. You're back. I don't know what's going on on your end. CIS doesn't like us today. No, no, apparently not. And so anyways, Mike Myers, go back to the United States or move to Ireland or whatever you want, okay? Before we carry on, Catherine Coltrach, who have had on the podcast, says Pierre is no
Starting point is 00:24:04 different than Kearney. And all I'm pointing out, Catherine, is when you look at... what's happening across Canada. Every sign shows the liberals are in the tank, the NDP is broke, and the conservatives are surging. I'm not talking policy.
Starting point is 00:24:21 I'm not talking all that. I'm just like, what are your eyes and ears tell you? Everything says something. And then the polls come out and they say, liberals are winning. Liberal, look at this, look at this screen. Are you kidding me? Well, that's exactly it. So this is the latest Ecos poll, right?
Starting point is 00:24:37 liberals 251, conservatives 90, NDP2, block zero. Now, a couple weeks ago, they had the PPC at like five or eight seats, this same polling company. And they've been all over the map. This is Ecos. This is voice of Frankie. This is the guy who said that he was going to personally make sure that Pollyev did not win, which is a bad thing to do when you get all your money from the government to look
Starting point is 00:25:04 at the possibility of you might have to work with. that guy. But here's what people don't know about pollsters, okay? They gauge themselves by how closely the last poll before the election matches with the actual results of the election. There's no way to definitively challenge the accuracy of the bulls before then so they can do whatever they want. All they care about is if the last poll isn't out to lunch because that's the one their reputation hinges on. You see this all the time in Canada and in the U.S. Oh, oh, Kamala's winning. Kamala's winning. Kamala's winning. Kamala's winning. Oh, and at the last second, okay, well, I think Trump has a chance and then he wins.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Okay. The polls always have the leftist unbelievably far ahead. And they do this on purpose. They're winning. It's a foregone conclusion. It's to play it here emotions. You don't want to be on the losing side, do you? And if you do, your vote is wasted anyway.
Starting point is 00:25:57 So why bother? Just stay home. Don't vote. They put their thumbs on the scale every time. And then at the last minute, there's an uptick and conservative why'd you kick me off? I didn't mean to. Carry on.
Starting point is 00:26:13 There's an uptick and conservative support and their exit pole hits close to home and no one could call them out for being subversive and no one's the wiser. Well, twos is the wiser, okay? And now you are too. Watch for this. You're going to see it.
Starting point is 00:26:31 The last minute swing for Pollyev and it's just a shallow attempt to feign objectivity. is fucked if the liberals don't win. His drunk-ass tweets already put his company's future on them. So he has nothing to lose. He's going to play this to the bone. And then at the last minute, well, hey, would you look at that? Pierre's making a comeback.
Starting point is 00:26:50 He's done it a bunch. Here's him talking about it. You realize that in the last federal election in our final poll, we polled with the LPC within 0.1% of their election results and predicted 91% of all individual seats correctly. feel free and ignore it. Our final poll in 2021 was within 0.1 of the actual LPC outcome.
Starting point is 00:27:11 This is what he does. Okay. And no, there isn't a last minute uptick. That's where Pollyev was the whole time. And if you greets greasy Laurentian bastards hadn't tried to play Kingmaker, he actually would have been even higher. I get that it's a bit boring and draw
Starting point is 00:27:29 when I run the whole Canadian polls or garbage segment. But it's important. And this is exactly why. I was trying to be this producer in the background for twos so I could get my face out of here. What did I do? I put my mug on it while twos is talking. Although, in fairness, I got to give myself the edge on looks to. Sorry, buddy.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Yeah. Oh, yeah. 100%. 110%. Okay. If that camera came from the back of our heads, you probably rethink that. You'd probably rethink that. You'd probably rethink that.
Starting point is 00:28:03 110. 110. 110. 110. Okay, front, back, it don't matter. Oh, it does. It does because it's all shiny. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Well, it's been that way since I was 20. What are you going to do? I guess I could be like some of the Hollywood folks and go get a whole bunch of things done. It's just like. I glanced at you and I saw my reflection back. I thought I was looking at baldboard from the Chamber of Secrets. Anybody remember the time we had a picture with the Premier and it looked like twos and just eaten a baby? Yeah, I remember.
Starting point is 00:28:34 I remember twos. So we can go this way if you like. It's fine. Neither of us are going to like it. Huh? Neither of us are going to like it. Okay. What else we want to talk about with this?
Starting point is 00:28:46 I want to talk about the betting pool. I want to talk about the betting pool. Here. There. Okay. We talked about this with Trump and Kamala. Okay? And we were talking about how the bets and where it was going.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Now, uh, polymarket shows Mark Carney 57% chance. What, what do you make of that? Because you were so high on it. right an election ago now i mean 5743 isn't too terribly far from a coin flip and like i'm in politics it's it's really not so okay here's okay let me just frame all this i think that everything we're being told is at least partially BS because of everything you were saying
Starting point is 00:29:29 about how mark carney's stuff has nobody going to it um the nDP uh are bringing out fewer people than the Snow White Premier. And Pahliev has got people lined up around the block. They're turning them away. They're like, here, have a T-shirt. We're sorry, we couldn't even let you in. Okay. And Kevin, as a bald man, this segment offends me,
Starting point is 00:29:54 I'm sorry, you shiny-headed bastards. I've got beautiful hair and I'm proud of it. All right. So are we being lied to? I would say a little bit because also at the same time, Polyev has really fumbled this whole Trump thing, where he's trying to just sound like the liberals, but not doing it as well.
Starting point is 00:30:13 And so I feel like he's lost a lot of support. But at the same time, I don't know anybody who's like, well, you know what? Now that Carney's here, I'm going to switch my vote from Polyev. Nobody I know is saying that. However, most of the people in this country don't live anywhere near me. So I think it's a little bit screwy,
Starting point is 00:30:31 but I was talking about it with Vesper. And, you know, there's there's money to be made on Polly Market. That's the whole point of it. And to the best of my knowledge, no one's tried to game it yet. And so it stands to reason that someone is going to try and game it at some point. And basically where I'm going with this is that as far as this election goes, all bets are off. That's $23 million put into Polly Market. I'm seeing that correct?
Starting point is 00:30:58 Yeah. Yeah. That might even be U.S. dollars. I'm not sure. that's a that's a big old gamble but then again we know some gamblers you know you were talking about the guy kicking the person out who'd already put out signs walk me through this okay so sean fraser uh former former housing minister and former immigration minister two portfolios that i would say have done very poorly under the liberals uh to put it mildly so he had said a few
Starting point is 00:31:29 weeks ago that he was going to retire from politics to spend more time with his family. And then as soon as things started to look like they were turning around for the liberals, meanwhile, his successor's already been named. The writing already has a person picked. He's got signs made. He's got a campaign headquarters. He started doing photo ops door knocking. And then as soon as the perceived fortunes of the liberals changed, Sean Fraser was like,
Starting point is 00:31:56 just kidding. Get out. This is my spot. I want it back. I know I said I wanted to spend more time with my family, but I did it for two weeks and I can't stand them. It's been really interesting because we, you know, one of the segments we've done here for like how many mashups has been
Starting point is 00:32:16 rat's the ship, the sinking ship. And now it's, and now it's completely upset. The rats are jumping back on the, yeah. Yeah. And like booting off people on the boat,
Starting point is 00:32:25 nope, you're out. Like I'm back on the sucker. It's like, it's kind of interesting. thing to watch in one breath that you're like kind of like this is this is wild like i wonder if they're just so disillusioned that they have a shot or if it actually is they have a shot you know like i'm i'm it's it's wild to me well here's the thing is that you don't even really
Starting point is 00:32:48 mathematically speaking if you've got an outside chance of furthering that you know you're going to make 200 grand a year for the next four years and then on top of that You're going to either qualify for your pension or further pat it. And then the fact that you get 75% of your election expenses back, which means that you only need to be out of pocket a very small amount of money. When you look at that $800,000 that you're going to earn up front, plus the pension on top of that, it really takes only just the narrowest smidge of probability for you to say,
Starting point is 00:33:25 okay, well, statistically speaking, this makes sense. it makes sense for me, even if it's just a remote chance to spend $25,000 out of pocket on the off chance that I get an extra $2 or $3 million over the course of my life. We haven't brought up Evan Solomon, but... Oh, we're going to. Here's Evan Solomon. He retweeted Mark Carney's ego by accident, is the way I look at this. Correct, too?
Starting point is 00:33:53 Yep, yeah. He didn't realize that it was the parody account. and then there's Mark Carney's ego saying let's get to work. And he photoshopped the, well, I assume it's photoshopped. I'm not entirely sure. But the bus Mark Carney is standing in front of says retard bus, world economic forum. And Evan Solomon, who's running, is now retweeting retard bus. But that's not even the worst thing he did.
Starting point is 00:34:19 That's not even the worst thing he did. Where the hell is it? We've got so many. Excuse me. Here. Here is the worst thing he did. This is him announcing. Our campaign office is up and running Toronto Center.
Starting point is 00:34:32 Only Mark Carney and the liberal team will keep Canada strong, and I'm proud to be running. Here is his picture where he's standing in front of the big sign with him and Mark Carney. And right behind him is a giant piss stain on the sidewalk. And if you look closely, you can see some huge. human shit. He's literally standing in front of a pile of piss and shit.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Not just announcing his campaign. This is like, do you remember when that liberal by-election, when that by-election happened and they interviewed the liberal person and there was a crackhead sleeping in the street in front of their campaign office right behind them? And they didn't even notice. They just did the interview anyway. This is the next level of that. every time you think that they can't be more elitist and out of touch,
Starting point is 00:35:32 like hold my bottle of champagne. Man, I did not notice that, but that is funny. Like, that is funny. Can you imagine being in the can, and like, we're going to stand there? Like, that's where you want me to stand? Like, this is, can we just- Can we get a hose?
Starting point is 00:35:49 Can somebody have a hose? Yeah, or can we just maybe take a picture inside the office? Like, why do we have- Or maybe just somewhere else? Do we have these signs up anywhere else? anywhere that somebody hasn't shot in front of honestly man it's the liberal
Starting point is 00:36:01 mafia I don't think like it doesn't matter how much shit they stand on none of it none of it sticks to them it's like it just they got something on their boots I feel like I feel like I feel like if he took one step
Starting point is 00:36:15 back though that that shit would stick to him a little bit yeah you're probably right um homing once again uh well here sorry liberal leader Mark Carney I don't know I can't spit this out
Starting point is 00:36:26 unveiled a $2 billion proposal to protect Canada's auto industry while in Windsor, Ontario on Wednesday, one of the front lines in the tariff war, calling it a strategic response fund. Carney said the money would be used to boost auto sector's competitiveness, protect manufacturing jobs, help workers gain expertise and build a fortified Canadian supply chain. You know what's really missing from this announcement, Sean? Literally anything about the canola tariffs. China implemented 100% tariffs on Canadian canola as a result of the Ontario automaker stuff. And no response.
Starting point is 00:37:04 Crickets, nothing, nothing. We are ignoring them completely. How many more times are we going to turn a blind eye to that country? All right? They released a giant virus that shut us down while our government shut us down for years. where's the, where's the repeat or the reparations for that? Nothing. Nothing.
Starting point is 00:37:26 They keep fucking around. When are they going to find out? All anybody's talking about in this election is the automobile tariffs at 25%. Canola is 100%. Now look, folks, maybe you're watching this from Ontario and maybe you don't really understand it. So let me explain it to you in a way that you might. The farmers here have factories. They look a little bit different than yours because,
Starting point is 00:37:50 instead of cushy breakrooms with artisanal curing machines, they're fields. And instead of a union rep who's some fat bald dude whose neck is rolling over his shirt collar, there are a pretty woman in plaid and jeans who brings you meat and potatoes while you're on the factory floor. And in the springtime, they bury a few billion micro machines out there. And then if the weather's nice, a couple weeks later, a whole bunch of hot wheels pop out of the ground. They spray a bunch of hub caps on them.
Starting point is 00:38:19 so they grow big and strong and some 3M undercoding to keep the rust from creeping in. And then eventually you get this nice harvest of fully complete Toyota Tacomas. In the fall, they put them all on trucks and send them to the dealerships in China. But the dealership is charging delivery fees that are quadruple what yours are. This is a much bigger deal. But the jackass is vying for control of this country don't care. Because there's a hell of a lot more fat bald dudes who's next rolling over their shirt collars, then there are pretty women in platt and jeans who feed you meat and potatoes.
Starting point is 00:38:54 So while you're standing around an Evian cooler with soft hands and a 35-hour work debating over which slick asshole is going to give you the most free shit this election, the men you'll never be are patching a hydraulic line together with bailing wire and karma and just want to vote for the guy who will fuck them over the least. Two's going full twos folks today. Can we talk Maxine Bernier? we want to? Maxine Bernier.
Starting point is 00:39:26 He's been all over the place. He was on Alex Jones. He was on Patrick Beck, David. I feel like I'm missing one. Regardless, he's been on a bunch of different... Okay. Anyways, this week puts out, do Albertans really care about reforming
Starting point is 00:39:38 and drastically cutting equalization, or do they only like to complain about it? The conservatives have never done anything about it. Harper increased it to Pan or to Quebec. Pliab never mentions it. Only the PPC propose a radical reform vote for your convictions. Okay. two things. One, this isn't radical reform.
Starting point is 00:39:56 He just said he's going to adjust it and tweak it a little bit. He's going to make it less, which in all fairness is much better than the conservative platform of we're going to leave it be because we want to win Ontario and we don't really care about the people in the West. But this guy, here's what Maxine Brunier doesn't realize about Western Canada, is that we're pretty goddamn sick of guys with goofy French action. accents talking to us like we're the assholes. Do Albertans really care about reforming and drastically cutting equalization?
Starting point is 00:40:30 Or do they only like to complain about it? You know what? We want reform and drastically cut equalization. But we also don't want to get talked to like we're not being treated with respect. And so this, despite the fact that you're hitting the right notes policy-wise, we've had 10 years of the guy in charge in Ottawa talking to us, like we're a bunch of jerks. We don't need more of it from you.
Starting point is 00:40:57 Smarting up. Sean, Sean is gone. Well, my screen's all, like Twitch. Ah, man. I tell you what.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Well, just, why don't you hire Michael J. Fox as the cameraman? I tell you what we're having right now. We're having a little bit of fun with whoever is deciding they don't want our show to go properly today. If it isn't Tuesday,
Starting point is 00:41:19 now it's my, my camera is not literally moving at all, but it's, this is what's going to go on. Geez. Oh, my God. I thought you were, hard to look at before.
Starting point is 00:41:29 Goodness gracious. All right. Here's something I want to point out. So, Lori Goldstein, absolute beauty. So he shares from the CBC.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Carney announces $2 billion fund to protect tariff threatened auto industry. He says promises not announces. Sheesh, this is journalism 101. Mark Carney announces $2 billion fund.
Starting point is 00:41:54 Liberal leader said he wants to build all in Canada. manufacturing. See, here's the thing. You've got, you've got CBC already talking about Carney as though he's won this election. And we don't like it here. And then, uh, oh, this is a big one here. Mark Carney dismisses a cold polytechnic blunder says his French is fine. Of course, I'm not from Quebec. Not everyone is from Quebec. Carney told reporters. So what happened is, is that Natalie Provost, I'm probably getting that name wrong, but it's okay, because so did Carney. the Polyssevvvvon Twitter account
Starting point is 00:42:29 Survivor of the Col Polytechnique massacre is now running for the liberals in some stupidly amazingly over-the-top French-named riding and Mark Carney screwed all of it up not because he's a bunch of people in Western Canada that don't really give a shit but because his French sucks despite the fact that it's supposed to be good and so this this is important because this is bait
Starting point is 00:42:56 this whole thing with Natalie Provost and Polly Sestuvant and her running, it's bait. Because the criticisms of her are going to be just knee jerk. She gets ratioed every time she tweets, the vast majority of the things she says are not founded in reality. She's openly advocated for keeping people as ignorant about gun safety, firearm safety, gun control all of this as possible because it undermines her argument. These are the things she talks about is that the more people know about this stuff, the less likely they are to agree with her.
Starting point is 00:43:35 And this is where you need to point your criticism. You don't say this is garbage that they're putting this woman up here who's this mass shooting survivor. That's not it. It has nothing to do with it. The problem with Natalie Provost is that she says a lot. of things that are wrong. She's intentionally misdirecting people.
Starting point is 00:43:58 She's not interested in a fair and balanced conversation about firearms. And that is why she's a bad candidate. I'm back. I miss the end of Maxime. I believe wherever two's got to, I believe Maxine, tons of people have been asking me if Maxine's coming on. One of the things I, you know, now in fairness,
Starting point is 00:44:21 he's been on. He has. And I believe he's coming on next week as well. Okay. So one of the things that, you know, now I understand the position Maxine Bernier is in, right? He has to get out in front of as many people as humanly possible. But in fairness, we tried getting Poliav on and it was like radio science. Try getting Leslin Lewis on radio science.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Try getting air and gun on, not allowed to talk until after the election. On and on and on and on it goes, right? So conservatives are doing one thing. One of the things I will give my hat to the PPC is they're talking. I mean, and for that, they face the ultimate consequences. We've got a story, I believe, at some point here about a guy being removed for his job just for announcing. He's running for the PPC for Pete's sake. So.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Pollyab has nothing to gain from coming on your show, though, Sean, because here's the thing is that you're going to ask him. Listen, you're going to ask him some really easy, really low hanging fruit questions that he's not going to have a good answer for. Because this campaign that he's running is geared entirely towards winning seats. in eastern and central Canada. And that's it. And so when you say, well, why don't you care about the canola tariffs?
Starting point is 00:45:32 Or why aren't you going to fix equalization? He does, there's no good answer for that. Because he's going to say, well, do you want somebody who's going to be better to win? Or do you want to have somebody who says they're going to fix equalization and not win?
Starting point is 00:45:48 That's what I hate about politics, too. And for more I'm that, what you're literally saying is what I hate about our politics. Yep. If we've got to have a guy who's running on an identical platform, we're already screwed. Exactly. I mean, everybody knows.
Starting point is 00:46:03 Anyways, it doesn't, it's, it's wild to me that it's like, well, you're going to ask simple, lofty questions that everybody's going to agree with. And I'm going to get a ton of flack because I don't go out of him even harder than that. And he still won't come on. It's like, well, you can get where, where I'm sitting these days. Darrell says, hey, just tuning in. Did you guys talk about Jason Kinney calling Sean a QAnon conspiracy theorist?
Starting point is 00:46:28 Yes. Yes. Yeah, we covered that. We covered that at the start. Yeah. Okay. Stephen Goe. Have you talked about Keyball?
Starting point is 00:46:35 No, no. I was just going to hit Mark Carney. So Brookfield put out this anti-unionized, anti-union video. Dr. Jacobs, Rad, posted it on Twitter. Basically, the guy who spent the last few days going around to Union Stronghold talking about how pro-Unionized. talking about how pro-union he is. There's literally a video his company put out trying to occur
Starting point is 00:46:57 their employers or employees, not unionize. And correct. I'm not a fan of unions. If you think you might be a fan of unions, you should join one and nothing will disillusion you faster. But I think it's really funny that this isn't getting the traction it ought to. For the amount of double stances that he's at. Well, I mean, it's just, it's just par for the liberal
Starting point is 00:47:21 off you, man. They're going to say whatever they can to get into power because that's all they want. They just want power. This should not track anyone. This is what they're doing. Now, did we talk about Mark Carney not debating in French against Pierre? Yeah. So TVA, which is like, from what I understand, the media in fucking Quebec that people actually listen to rather than Radio Canada, which actually, believe it or not, does TV as well, Radio Canada isn't just radio. It's just got a dumb name, kind of like Mark Carney.
Starting point is 00:47:54 And so anyway, there's a debate that was going to happen on TVA, which is like TV novella's baguette. And you hear French sounds as good as, as Carnies. Yeah. Yeah. And can somebody in the comments?
Starting point is 00:48:15 Tell me what, what, uh, what, uh, two's just said there. I'm not a lunatic. I just want to know what he said there. I don't understand Garbo. It's the name of the organization. So anyway, and they said,
Starting point is 00:48:26 okay, well, if Carney's not coming on, we're not going to have the debate, which is stupid. You should absolutely have an empty podium there and have his name right in front of it. And then be like,
Starting point is 00:48:37 okay, and we'll get the next question from Mark Carney. Okay. Da-da-da-da-da. Okay, no answer. And then we go to the next person. You point out the fact, that he cares so little about the French culture and the amazing puteen that they have
Starting point is 00:48:53 and all the equalization money that they get, that he cares so little about that that he's going to bow out of this debate. That's how you address it. And if you do that, they're going to be like, okay, well, I guess maybe we will go on there. Paradoxie,
Starting point is 00:49:09 great to see you join in. He or she, actually, I don't know if it's, is it a he? Is it she? It doesn't matter. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:49:16 better late than never happy Friday. Happy Friday. And then there's a pronunciation. And then Tom Mulcair came out saying that people should not vote NDP this election. I'd answer, but did I look like a cute conspiracy theorist? Oh, we go. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:49:36 Sean, pay attention here. Tom Mulcair, former leader of the NDP, and former head of the opposition, said that people shouldn't vote NDP. this election. Now, for those of you wondering why, he would say something like this. Well, two things. One, it runs a smokescreen for the NDP who are not a serious party. They don't even have a plane.
Starting point is 00:49:59 Okay. And so when they do exceptionally poorly this election, they can go back and say, well, it was because we told people not to vote NDP so that they could vote for the other two candidates because of how important this election was. But this next election, it's less important. and so you guys can vote NDP this time. The thing they're not thinking about, though, is that every single election that I've ever heard about has been single-handedly the most important election of my generation. This election, I've heard it a whole bunch of times.
Starting point is 00:50:31 The one before that was the most important election of my generation. The one before that was the most important election of my generation. The one before that was, the one before that. And then before those, it wasn't my generation, so I don't know. Mark Kearney, he called the cops, or the liberals called the cops, I should say, on the Newfoundland fishermen and wouldn't let them attend the liberal rally or the Carney liberal rally or talk to the fisheries ministry, minister. Like, when I think of all the people they're pissing off, I'm like, you know, they always point to Alberta. Oh, they're present off Alberta or the West or whatever. I'm like, to me, it's just like every group under the sun in Canada right now is pissed off at the liberals, unless you fit into the LGBT.
Starting point is 00:51:15 crew that well am i wrong on that i don't know i imagine i mean it's pretty hard to get the gays angry about much but i don't think they're too upset um i'm not i'm not a huge expert um we going back to mike myers or we're we're moving on for mike myers do we no no we already covered him we already covered daniel smith daniel smith come on twos hop with it here i don't know what's going on to oh oh oh oh now it's me now it's me okay it's all right fair enough so yeah daniel let's see you here. So she went and spoke, she spoke in the States about how Donald Trump is,
Starting point is 00:51:55 you know, the tariffs are coming. And maybe he should lay off of those because the election is happening right now. And it would just kind of cool things down. Cooler heads could prevail during the election. And then if Pollyev wins, he's going to find himself with somebody who's a lot more friendly to Republicans. than the current administration.
Starting point is 00:52:17 And that's where everything went loco. All right. We have, excuse me. I'm having a morning beer. You know what you won't find, you know what you won't find on traditional media is, well,
Starting point is 00:52:36 actually you probably will, but a full on burp right in the middle of, well done, too, it's well done. You bring the class up a matchup 151. You know, if you're watching right now, folks, and you're enjoying the content, make sure you retweet this thing if you're on X.
Starting point is 00:52:51 Share it with a friend because you're not going to see anyone else belching in the middle of a sentence. You better hope to God you never fart on the air or I'm not going to let it go. All right. So you've got this guy. Remember what an MP resigned from caucus because of suspected foreign interference? Daniel Smith does it right out in the open with audio recordings while Jamila Giovanni is also implicated by reaching out to Vance. they simply gets away with it.
Starting point is 00:53:16 Something isn't right here. All right. He's mad that if Daniel Smith, if Daniel Smith manages to get the tariffs paused during the election, that is foreign interference. This is the same guy who a month ago, or six weeks ago, lists off a whole bunch of things.
Starting point is 00:53:37 These are just a few of the tools in Canada's toolbox to fight Trump's tariffs. Get ready, America, because this is going to get ugly. You have all these people. So what Smith is displaying here is collusion with the hostile nation that has openly threatened to annex Canada, just in case someone isn't clear on that. There's so many examples. What a sitting premier has done,
Starting point is 00:53:58 as to a foreign country who's declared economic war on Canada on our sovereignty on the workers of this country to interfere in the upcoming federal election. Everyone in this country should be denouncing this today. Everyone. Well, you know what, Sean? I got a slightly december. different take on this.
Starting point is 00:54:15 Okay? Tariffs are bad, right? We need to do everything we can to stop them, right? We need to leave all options on the table and use every tool in our toolbox, right? Daniel Smith says Trump should hold off on tariffs until after the election because he might work better with the conservatives. And now the NDP, the liberal media, and every other Botox brain simpleton thinks it's election interference.
Starting point is 00:54:39 So now their pro-tariff is at it? And if Trump stops the tariffs, he's interfering with our election? Do you people even hear the curly fries logic when you say it out loud? Do you want the tariffs gone or not? And the other thing, probably the biggest thing, they're not even realizing is the implication. They're saying that taking Canadians out of a sense of panic would hurt the liberals. If Canadians are able to make a calm, reasoned decision, we're going to. starting this election, they'll be less likely to vote liberal.
Starting point is 00:55:16 Yeah, we talked about how they want this trade war because it gives them a boogeyman to deflect criticism towards. They always need a bad guy. It's been this way for 10 years. But here's the other thing this showed me. They need people to be in a constant state of anxiety because when people are under stress, they make bad decisions. So the implication of that implication is that not only do they know that they're bad for
Starting point is 00:55:40 this country, but they're also intentionally making it even worse because their continued power depends on the small percentage of people who will make bad decisions under the gun. John? I'm, uh, I'm, I'm, I'm tweeting out that you're going full twos. So I'm like, twos is doing his twos thing today, folks. It's just like every time, tell me, I'm wrong. You know, I'm right. I literally, uh, tried to try to make in some points earlier, kick twos out because he had to go
Starting point is 00:56:12 fix some things. He comes on. And he just, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's on a mood today. You notice we didn't have any guests today, folks? I think I needed to give a Tuesday, right? He needed one back. He needed to let off some steam. Well, that nobody's responding to our emails and texts and DMs. What hell's up with you people? We're a bunch of lunatics on this side. Yeah. You know, lunatics. That's who we are. Uh, yeah. The whole thing attacking Danielle Smith is, um, is insane. Like, you've literally got the Alberta NDP advocating
Starting point is 00:56:45 for tariffs because if you get them taken away, it's going to hurt the liberal re-election chances. Here, Cindy, I wanted to just say to Cindy, Sir Vatius, I got booted off your show and then couldn't find you again. That's by looks of it on YouTube. So you got to love or hate YouTube. I pretty much go on the second column. But we're on Rumble, we're on X, we're on Facebook.
Starting point is 00:57:14 We're all over the place. And if you ever miss the show, folks, it does come up on, it airs on Spotify and Apple and everything as well. Just in case you get booted off and you can't find us. Or YouTube's doing YouTube things. Come on over to X, Rumble. Like I say, those two in particular have been fantastic.
Starting point is 00:57:33 Yes, everybody commenting on full twos. It seems like everybody's been waiting for a Tuesday, you know? Well, you tried cut me off last time. Oh, my goodness. Try cutting you. off. Folks, I literally, I literally got to talk. Like, you see what I put up with here? He comes in after being gone. And I'm in the middle of a point. Most people would sit and wait for the end of the point. And then, and oh, it too comes. Guns ablazing. That's it. Anyway, I started
Starting point is 00:58:01 blasted. That's right. Oh, my goodness. Gracious. Yeah. All right. We talk, we already talk, take the bus. Do you want to show the video or do you want to hop to Fraser Institute? Well, it's just this, this one's actually kind of funny. I'm not going to play the whole thing. I'm just going to play just a tiny bit of it. But here's Jagmeet Singh, handling a question about the bus very effectively. And it's a question from the CBC, no less.
Starting point is 00:58:26 Hi, Mr. Singh, David Thurton, CBC Radio. After this, we're going to be going to Toronto, taking the bus, not flying. How much sense does it make to be on a bus for six hours in a snowstorm when you're this far behind in the polls? How productive is that? We want to be in Toronto, the next city. It's an important place.
Starting point is 00:58:48 Born in Toronto, got a love for Toronto. We're going to be spending time with Batila Carpoche in downtown Toronto. It's important for us to be there as well. He goes on just talking about how important it is and how important it is for people to vote NDP and does not in any way address the question about the bus. He's probably like, you got to be kidding me. I'm getting on a bus. you know. Can you imagine playing in the
Starting point is 00:59:15 NHL and then getting demoted to like, I don't know. Well, it's like in Major League. It's like, you remember Major League? It's like Utah hockey team. And it's like we're flying to Dallas tonight. Nope, we're taking the bus. What? Yeah, we're going to save money with Utah.
Starting point is 00:59:36 It's just like in Major League. And then this is actually kind of funny. You're in any of you rally. You guys are fucking old retarded. NDP. Yeah. That guy gets an award. Team Canada thing.
Starting point is 01:00:01 Elbows up. Albertans contributed 53.6 billion more to CPP than retirees in Alberta received from it from 1981 to 2022. And that doesn't account for the interest that accrued on those contributions. That's just dollars in and dollars out. And then there was a comment in there. about Doug Ford. Doug Ford just said it's his goal to inflict as much pain as possible on the American people. Yeah, what's he going to do?
Starting point is 01:00:29 Go run for Congress there or what? It's a wild thing for a Canadian politician to say, honestly. It just is. And then Francois Blanchet says he'll, Quebec will play nice with Canada for now. But come October 2026, he's in a full-blown independence referendum. So it seems that Quebec is going to go down that road again, two's it seems like it's picking up steam not less not like the wind is in the sales for it I mean I want him I want him to do that absolutely like have they never done the math on that like do
Starting point is 01:01:03 do they think that they're just going to continue to get equalization after they leave I just I think it's just beautiful it's hilarious if they want to do that they should go right ahead and you know who else should separate while we're talking about it Sean from the Western Standard. Alberta independence parties explore unification. This is the part that frustrates me. I wanted to talk about this last week and we got sidetracked as we tend to on this show. So look, guys, like there's a lot of different, there's a lot of different separatist parties
Starting point is 01:01:40 and there's a lot of different ideas about the best way to move forward with it is. And there's a lot of infighting where they say, okay, well, you know what, when it comes to separation. We should finally do 51st state versus sovereign nation. We should take BC. We should take Manitoba. We should take half of BC, half of Manitoba. Okay. Look, guys, I've laid this out before. My way is the best way and you all need to shut up and listen to me. But in the meantime, like, look, I get it. We all want to make our own decisions. We want to chart our own destiny. It's why we ended up here. It's why we want out of Confederation. And it's why we're always fighting with ourselves. But it's a bit much and it needs to
Starting point is 01:02:19 stop. We all want Confederation to stop at the border. Canada's lost its way, and that's fine, but stop dragging us with you. But all this squabbling about exactly how we exit, where we exit, and when we exit, it doesn't help anyone. You're fighting about things that are so far down the road, we can't even see them, and because of it, you don't want to go down that road together? Smarten up. This is really simple. In project management, there's this thing called progressive elaboration. It means that just because you don't know exactly how you're going to do step 57 doesn't mean you can't start on step one or step two or the first 20 steps. And you all agree when it comes to separation on the first 50 steps. So just fucking do them.
Starting point is 01:03:05 If you're building a garage with someone and you can't decide what color to paint it, it doesn't stop you from pouring the pad. It doesn't stop you from framing it. Separatists are pragmatic except when it comes to separatists. If separating was your business, you tell people to go to work and figure out the final details later. Time is money, people. These are all concepts you understand. For the love of a he mire, treat it like something you have a personal stake in because you do. That's it.
Starting point is 01:03:37 And it's the 11 o'clock hour. We're getting our first guest. I've given twos the first full hour to B-2's. Wyatt Claypool. Thanks for hopping on. Hi, Wyatt. Absolutely. I'm surprised I was even awake to jump on. I know it's late in the morning, but I keep traveling like every week, like two flights a week. So I'm shocked.
Starting point is 01:03:57 You sound like a liberal. What? You sound like a liberal. I know. I know. Well, yeah, except I'm not going to tell people not to not create emissions. Yeah, that's fair. That's an important distinction. So we were just talking about Albertan independence and how they're kind of looking to all kind of fall under one tent and sort out the details later. Do you want to talk Alberta independence or do you want to talk federal election? I can do both. I'm asking, yeah, okay, we're having a little bickering session here.
Starting point is 01:04:27 Fine, fine, fine. We'll start with Alberta Independence. Okay. Wyatt. Your thoughts. My thing with Alberta independence is I'm not a separatist supporter and it's for the same reason I don't support the 51st state stuff as well. And it's because I don't want all my eggs in one back.
Starting point is 01:04:46 in terms of being in the United States, one, because I think that it just means that it's one big central point of failure to have the 51st state and to join the U.S. At the same time, I also don't want every single egg to be in its own basket where anything good that happens, that starts happening in an independent Alberta, doesn't trickle down to sort of the other provinces. So we have a lot more resistances as Albertans having to live in Canada. we could easily get things done better in an independent Alberta, but it's like who cares how good Luxembourg is doing because it's Luxembourg,
Starting point is 01:05:24 and there's not many people who even live there. So the maximum amount of good that they can do for the world is much lower. And so I'm always thinking that it's Alberta and Saskatchewan's duty to be there to make Canada less crazy. And so I kind of like Alberta's place and all that. and we have to suffer sometimes a little bit more, but if we weren't here, imagine how much worse the Quebecers would be. But who cares?
Starting point is 01:05:52 I know. And that is the best thing. If they wanted to just drive their economy and their country, as it would be, off of a cliff, who cares? Like, I just,
Starting point is 01:06:03 I don't see, I'm not sure. I don't see the upside to Canada. Like, like, if you see, said if Alberta, Saskatchewan, whatever area in the prairies you wanted to pick was its own independent nation state. And Canada came to them today with the current deal as it is. You don't
Starting point is 01:06:26 get a saying who runs the country. You can't get anything developed. You can't build any pipelines. There's no interprovincial trade. I will say that we are though, to a certain extent, we are literally the only reason a conservative government can even be elected at all, and that is a good thing. Because if you take even Saskatchewan just out or if you just take Alberta out, now the playing field is literally impossible for any conservative trying to actually change the country, whereas then truly it is that Quebec and Ontario pick who wins. But it's not our country anymore at that point.
Starting point is 01:07:03 So, I mean, like, I feel like if they want to drive themselves off a, cliff, they're more than welcome to. Let us get out of the car. Rather than slowly dragging us over that cliff with them. To be there, there is always a red line where you can say that to be, you have to actually threaten to leave if everyone's going to be completely irrational. And you can't just be a threat. It has to be like, okay, I'm going to put the cinder block on the gas pedal and, you know,
Starting point is 01:07:32 just go for it. There is always that nuclear option where you have to basically say, okay, well, we're going figure out a way of leaving now because you guys aren't serious anymore. And I think this election, maybe you could argue, is probably one of those ones where if the liberals win a majority government, that's like, yeah, Eastern Can is not serious about even looking at what each of the parties is trying to offer. So what's the point of trying to work with them when they are not being rational anymore? So are you saying that you would be potentially considering the idea of Western
Starting point is 01:08:08 separation if the liberals do win in a month? I'm the type of person who I'm not going to be wearing the t-shirt, but if it went to a referendum, it depends on the situation. I could go either way. I'm not going to be like, you know, I'm not Harrison Faulkner here where I'm like, no, we must always stay in Confederation forever. Like, it's more so I'm going to be more resistant to it than like a maximalist. There are, as we know, probably separatists who back in like 2005, we're like, oh, the whole thing
Starting point is 01:08:37 doesn't work and they've been like that the entire time. And in effect, I find that they make the worst arguments because when every like, oh my goodness, some small thing happened in Eastern Canada, see, this is why we need to go. It's like, but then I find actually it actually has killed the movement because now every, you can easily stereotype it. Well, I don't know. I would say that I, I've been that person for a while. And the fact that there's a multitude of examples doesn't disprove what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:09:07 In fact, I would say it probably does more to prove it. I would say that every Canadian is on a spectrum of where you're at, Wyatt. Obviously, there's the separatists or the independence that's been there for a long time. But there's a ton of people that want to stay in Canada and have Canada deep down on their heart. This is the greatest thing ever. We're the greatest country. We're a peacekeeping nation.
Starting point is 01:09:33 Go back to all the slogans we used to have that made sense for who we are. And they're looking at this and going, well, if we get the unthinkable, a Kearney government, they're going to get on board with what we're talking about in independence real fast, is my opinion. And because we're holding out that Pierre is going to win. And I go back to what I said earlier in the thing. And I know people are in the comments are going to be like, oh, Pierre is one of them and on and on. I get it. But if you look at what's happening right now in the federal election, all the things we've talked about for the last hour,
Starting point is 01:10:06 everything shows that Pierre is going to win. Can I at least agree with that? Not, I'm not talking to polls. I'm not talking to any of that. I'm talking how many people are showing up. I'm talking the fact that they can take a plane and not have to travel on a bus, et cetera, et cetera.
Starting point is 01:10:20 Everything, the signs point to Pierre being in there. Now, some of the things he's done with the United States and on and on have definitely stifled some of that. But if Pierre doesn't win, if Mark Carney gets in, an elitist, globalist, tack on any other word you want to stick there, the fact he can't do anything right, at least in my opinion. There's going to be a ton of people that can hold on for Canada all they want, all they want,
Starting point is 01:10:44 but it's happening right in front of us. It's breaking apart right in front of us. And the idea of Canada is falling apart. The argument for it, it's falling apart. The thing with independence is it goes in waves. It always goes in waves. When things get tough, it rairs up. And I think it's just getting to a breaking point right now where, like, obviously the East doesn't
Starting point is 01:11:05 love the same things as the West, or am I wrong? Well, and I think one of the things that has to be proven, and I think you're right about that, is that what has to be proven is that even given an option where the East is going to have to hurt itself in order to pick the liberals again, that's where, okay, we can't even negotiate anymore because you guys will even vote against your own best interests out of a sense of like anti-Americanism. And I think that the best case for separatism is, you guys, is push as hard as you possibly can to get Pierre Polly Evan. And then if he betrays you, then you can actually clearly make the argument that it wouldn't
Starting point is 01:11:43 have mattered who got in. We would have still been screwed anyways. And I think that if you then start to, and this is what some people have done. I doubt it's you guys. That some people say, oh, vote for Carney because we'll get Wexed out of it. It's like, no, if anything, that would come back to bite you because people would be like, you have actually made the situation worse, not wanting to make it better in order to get your desired outcome. It's like, no, no, no. If you actually want it, what you want to do is have
Starting point is 01:12:09 Polyiv get in and then see nothing changed. And then you can see, see, it literally doesn't matter if we make, we elect the guy who everyone loved. We literally are still getting screwed over. The problem with that theory, though, is, is there's like these certain times in life where you go, well, Pierre gets in, now you're, how many years? Four years down the road? Is it 10 years down the road and now you have to get everything to align all back again to the same point. And you're thinking, well, Canada gets to struggle on. Okay. That's fine. But to me, it's almost a foregone conclusion. At some point, Canada starts to break apart unless, unless you had a leader come in and start to do things that actually are Canada, truly are Canada first. But I don't, I don't,
Starting point is 01:12:57 do any of us think that Carney or Pierre is going to be able to get that done? Like Pierre can say he's going to get it done, but look at what he has to wrestle with. I mean, just Quebec itself doesn't want the pipelines and everything else. Like we're talking key infrastructure. He just said he wasn't going to do anything to address the dairy cartel, which he said before multiple times, but he just reiterated that. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, I get it in the sense that you're in a federal election.
Starting point is 01:13:26 And you can say that, well, you know, that's bad. He's like, well, there's pragmatism in every election. and I'm more so thinking second term, does he still not address that, third term? And then if he caps out saying, I'm going to do some minor tax cuts, I'm going to do this, and it never actually gets any better than that, you're like, okay, well, that sucks. Because I know a lot of people are like, they should just break up equalization tomorrow. It's like, okay. Why did you talk to?
Starting point is 01:13:51 I'm not going to run on that. Curious if you've talked to people who were around the reform party and, the firewall letter and different things like that. Because the one thing about this is, is I like to think that it's like, oh, that's rearing his head right now. But if you talk to a ton of Alberton's, which I got a ton of time,
Starting point is 01:14:13 I assume you have as well, wouldn't they all say we've been here before? And then we had Harper come in and now we're back here. Like, isn't this song and dance being played out over and over again? Sure, but it's more so like saying that you always have to take,
Starting point is 01:14:28 you know, walk from the bottom of the staircase up to the top rather than just teleporting to the top. You technically do need to do things in a certain order to see whether you can get it or not, where we can't just say we're going to run on like a pure Alberta first platform for Canada because even if, and I would agree, it's the morally right thing for Canada to actually end equalization and stop basically stepping on the neck of Alberta, taking us for granted. The thing is it's not like the average voter in the East, in the Maritimes in Quebec, even in British Columbia, it's not like they're literally thinking with pure contempt for us and how
Starting point is 01:15:05 they're going to vote. It's that they actually legitimately don't understand the problems. They legitimately don't understand what equalization even is. I guarantee less than 30% of voters actually understand what the system is past the fact that it exists. And I think that that's one of those that always existing problems. And you can blame that, well, Pollyav or not, other conservative leader over time should have been educating people on this. So they knew about it so that even if you benefit from equalization, you understand how it's straining the Canadian, like, confederation. This is bad for basically one of the provinces to be paying for everyone's welfare.
Starting point is 01:15:47 Like, we're in this household and a bunch of them aren't even working, but everyone in the household votes for whatever best interests them. It's like, yeah, but the thing is like that's a very cartoony version of it. people New Brunswick don't know they're screwing Alberta. People in Quebec may know a little bit more because I find that they almost take pride in thumbing their nose of people. But someone in Burlington doesn't realize probably that they're taking Alberta taxpayer money to subsidize their worst system in their province.
Starting point is 01:16:15 So we need some ad car. Yeah. Awareness, desire, knowledge, application, repetition. And I think it's funny, though, because, you know, I think you're, absolutely right. And I've talked to people from other parts of the country who were like, well, what do you mean we get a bunch of free money that used to be in your pocket? And then you explain it to them. They're like, well, no, that doesn't. Are you, are you sure about that? Are you sure about that? And it's, it's very true. But at the same time,
Starting point is 01:16:51 there's a lot of people that when you try and explain it to them, they're like, I don't care. You guys can just deal with it. Oh, no. And you definitely. will get that. And I think it's more so that that's the true breaking point, that when there was a significant amount of people who had that attitude. But I don't think that, especially these days, I actually do think that there is something in the idea of marketing to Canadians to stop the welfare economy, to stop being a welfare province. I'd love a politician to come in in Canada and actually shame the maritime provinces for being unproductive. Because I think there's actually an appetite for wanting to be more resilient these days.
Starting point is 01:17:34 I think we are kind of starting to leave the era of everyone just carrying what their CPP checks look like. And that's why you have a lot of young men under the age of 40 voting conservative because they all want to actually make their own money. And I think that they find it depressing the idea that I work a government job and I wait for Alberta to send checks to my province so that I can keep my fake job going. And I think that that's something that someone you should actually cling on to
Starting point is 01:18:00 when they're in office. and use it as their bully pulpit to basically saying, this is why we need provincial reform on taxes, because you can't keep taxing your province into poverty, just so Alberta keeps flipping the bill, because that's something that on the upper-level side of politics, the elected officials will literally do in some of the provinces. They will make themselves poorer, so they get more money.
Starting point is 01:18:24 No, you see it all, well, Manitoba, for one. I don't know if there's as much appetite for that as you perhaps, think, though. I mean, when you look at, when you look at the Maritimes, the only decent economic driver is government money. And so, you know, you talk to people in Newfoundland, but yeah. Once again, all right. Once again, I go,
Starting point is 01:18:49 I'd be curious to talk to some Maritimers and and see what struggles they've been up against our government for shutting down their industries. Because we sit here and we talk ill about what the Maritimers are. and I'm like, well, here in Alberta, we have, well, he's not prime minister right now, but if he's elected, we certainly just had a prime minister and others who didn't like what our main industry is.
Starting point is 01:19:15 And so you could sit there and go, you know, maritime this, maritime that. But look at what our government is. They're enemy of the freaking people, folks. So like, equalization, or probably not equalization. EI in 2015 During the campaign Trudeau Goes out to the Maritimes
Starting point is 01:19:37 And he announces that they're going to do some changes to EI They're going to do some slightly higher benefits And they're going to reduce from two weeks to one week The period that you don't get to collect EI Basically says if you're not working You're going to get more money And then boom, he sweeps them Do you know why Axtreve is going to be probably
Starting point is 01:20:00 sweeping a lot of the Newfoundland this time? The seal clubbing. I know. I know. And I think that that is at least a anecdotal example that there are people who want to actually work. And I mean that somebody coming back and saying, you know what, I'll increase your benefits. Because Carney and the NDP and the like, you know, everyone else is basically saying, you know what? I'm going to subsidize your industries more because of those bad, nasty Americans. And there's an entire protest going on about regulations trying to limit the amount of seafood that these guys are able to actually collect the snow crabs and that they're
Starting point is 01:20:40 actually ticked off about the fishing quotas. In a certain sense, it doesn't actually matter how much they're able to, because if all you care about is EI, in fact, you probably don't care about the regulations, because it just gives me an excuse to, I've hit my cap, I can go on EI now. but the thing is that people genuinely just hate the idea that you're now just like, you know, the kind of living in a pod lifestyle where I do whatever the government tells me to do to the bare minimum, then I go sit on my couch and collect the I. Maybe. I think to some extent, now I was just going to say, are you going to say that we should
Starting point is 01:21:16 explain the seal clubbing? Yes, please. Okay. All right. So seals eat a lot of fish. They eat tons of fish. they're their gophers here they eat gophers eat the crops there seals eat the fish so here more gophers means lower harvest there more seals means lower harvest and it's been illegal to shoot gophers
Starting point is 01:21:42 metaphorically speaking in newfoundland for a long time because they used to just go out onto the ice and club all the baby seals because one bit dead seal is that much fewer fish that get eaten that they can then catch and sell And so Pollyev has promised to bring that back and make it legal again to club seals because they're the Newfoundland gophers. And by the way, the funny thing is that people would usually consider that like a big political risk, like what you're in favor of seal clubbing, something that is synonymous with doing something terrible.
Starting point is 01:22:20 It's like, okay, people in downtown Toronto Starbucks can talk with. their friends about how outraged they are about it, but they were already voting liberal. It's actually such an ingenious move to back this because the only people who actually are deciding how they are going to vote on this all live in the Maritimes and they will all vote yes for like whoever wants that. Why, when, when, what do you think? Do you think that who do you, like, if you were putting money on it, Pierre, Mark, Maxine, whoever is, leading the Green Party? Is it May? Still? I don't know. It doesn't matter. It's May and somebody else.
Starting point is 01:23:00 Right. Who would you be putting your money on? In terms of like winning the election? Correct. You'd be at Polly, but I think that at the moment though, that it's probably going to be a minority government, which this sounds odd, might actually
Starting point is 01:23:17 be the best outcome. Because the one thing that needs to happen probably is that the conservative party needs a whack upside the head, even if they win. Because the ways that they've been messing with nominations and they've been appointing absolute turkey candidates all around the country, really... We touched on that real quickly. Yeah. And you've got a lot of experience with that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I do. I literally have my card for when I was running in Calgary Signal Hill here.
Starting point is 01:23:45 And I got kicked out because, no reason. Basically, they didn't want me to beat Jeremy Nixon. and even though Jeremy Nixon was effectively getting propped up by HQ and a bunch of other stuff going on, got the official list to go campaign. This is after I got kicked out, but he got the official list before some of the other candidates 12 days in advance. He still loses Signal Hill's nomination. And then he was just given Confederation like a few days ago. They just let him run in Calgary Confederation. Len Weber stepping down.
Starting point is 01:24:12 Let's just throw the guy in who couldn't win in Signal Hill despite everything. And then we have like people out in Surrey who, you know, hard jit, Singh Gill who ran for the NDP in 2019 and is a full-on Calistani, like radical Sikh separatist. That guy is now the candidate for the conservatives in 2025. And by the way, they kicked out four candidates just so they could claim him. Because he's such a star, apparently, even though he got absolutely clobbered as an NDP candidate in 2019. And I don't know why he's a particularly good candidate this time.
Starting point is 01:24:43 Just people being disallowed saying, oh, you're too outspoken. I'm like, guys, the leader is at his best when he's outspoken. I know don't have people made candidates who can't stop firing and they just open fire on everything and they are disruptive and in the fact they can't work with other people because they just want to see what they're going to say and they'll constantly contradict the platform. I get that. That's not what's been going on in nominations. There are so many people who are like lobbyists or consultants who have become candidates. It's not because of a conspiracy. It's because they're just lazy and they want people who don't even rock the boat.
Starting point is 01:25:20 at all. Shoot. That former CTV lady in Toronto or somewhere around there, I can't remember her name. That absolute rocket who was going to be running for the conservatives and then got told,
Starting point is 01:25:36 okay, actually you can't even be on the ballot. Freedom Maddow, National Post. Yes. Yes. Thank you. Do you know something hilarious? The first interview that Pierre Pollyov did right after he became a leader was a video podcast interview with Sabrina Maddow at the National Post headquarters. And he even said, we need to reform nominations because we cannot have party officials and
Starting point is 01:26:00 HQ staff coming out from on high and picking somebody or putting their finger on the scale so their friend wins. And it's like, it's literally been probably its worst point ever in terms of how that's been operating. Absolutely. It's hilarious how I can see a good candidate from across the room. I'm like, that guy's going to get kicked out. What did he do?
Starting point is 01:26:22 Nothing. He's done nothing. And I can even tell there's so many people in the party because I'm friendly with like 95% of people in the party. This is not the party itself, the fabric of the party that hates grassroots people. It's that here's the thing with Polyov. Oliov does not like nitty, gritty internal governance management. So he passes off to people he's known for like 15 years because Oliov tends to trust people
Starting point is 01:26:45 he's known for a very long time. just his personality. But those people don't care about anything he said about nominations. And they'll do whatever they want. You'll see yesterday, he was actually asked a question saying, why was Mike DeYoung kicked out of Abbotsford, South Langley? And now it's some 24-year-old kid. And I'm not saying, like, that is a jab because someone's young.
Starting point is 01:27:06 I'm 25. I was 24 when I was running for mine. But just some 24-year-old guy who need to get waivers to get into the race, who probably cheated for the nomination, like reports of people voting multiple times, just walking in and out of the ballot station, pretending they're different people. This guy was made the candidate. Mike DeYoung was not good enough. I know he was a BC liberal, but to be fair, he started running as a conservative,
Starting point is 01:27:29 and to be fair, the BC liberals were always into more red Tory-ish-type party since there wasn't a conservative party. When asked about why was Mike DeYoung kicked out and why was he not good enough, Pollyov literally didn't have an answer. He says, well, we're running local legend candidates. running people who are known in their communities. I'm like, you're running the 24-year-old blueberry prints in this riding who's never done anything. Like, he literally had to ask me, because I was an ambassador for it at the time. In August, he had to ask me, like, basic questions about how to start a campaign and how to do a website. And somehow he sells 2,500 memberships
Starting point is 01:28:08 in the next month and a half. You're making the case for Alberta independence and you don't even realize it. Like, I mean, I would say, I, I, I, I would say, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, identify problems that need to be solved because I'm not delusional in the sense that everything's fine, just let it play out. My thing is that if these problems start never being solved, then referendum comes up and I vote yes. Well, to me, I don't know, I can go on and on about this. We appreciate you hopping on today. I've kept you. I said 50 bits. I'm like, oh man, this is an interesting conversation. We appreciate you giving us some time today and keep up the good work and we'll look forward to falling along.
Starting point is 01:28:48 If people haven't searched you out on X, they should. White Claypool. Again, thanks for helping on. National telegraph on YouTube. I have to, I have to get to 100,000 subscribers or I owe all my friends dinner in December. There you go. How many are you at?
Starting point is 01:29:01 We're at 48,000. There you go. Go give them a fall. The elections are good for subscribers. Yes, 100%. Perfect. Maybe that's my secret goal, too. I want a minority government.
Starting point is 01:29:11 So then we have another election in a year and a half. and I get to do all this over again. I think the last thing that the conservatives want is a minority government because the only people they'd be able to play ball with are the Block Kavekwa. And that would play into what you were saying before where you'd be like, okay, so you're just going to sell out the West and give everything to Quebec. And that doesn't work for us. To be fair, though, then the Conservatives could use the Block Quebecois being in coalition with them
Starting point is 01:29:43 to try and get some of the, easy stuff done, demonstrate. You see, the block's not serious about getting other things done, and then they can call an election on that kind of election referendum issue that we need to do X because the block wouldn't let us do it. So we know the majority. So, you know,
Starting point is 01:29:58 there's always a silver lining in everything. Wyatt, thanks for hopping on today. See you guys later. Thanks for having me on. Take care of my friend. All right. Wyatt Claypool, giving us some extra time today. Tews, we got like three minutes and then I got to go. So you have... California counselors, shut up, shut up.
Starting point is 01:30:16 Toronto counselors vote to give themselves a 24% raise. In all fairness, and this is very limited, they haven't had a raise beyond inflation since 2006. That means that they've had raises since 2006. And they gave themselves 24%. Lawsuit over Justice for Sean has been dismissed because it decided that the federal government basically does not have duty of care. so they can shut down your business.
Starting point is 01:30:49 They can freeze your bank account when you don't want to get an experimental injection. But if that does go poorly for you, they're completely off the hook. They give you all of the downsides on both sides of it. And that's the way our judges have decided it will be. Hudson Bay managers will get up to $3 million in bonuses, but workers get no severance. Hudson Bay is going out of business, but not before the managers take the last little bit of money with them in their pockets before they leave.
Starting point is 01:31:18 PPC candidate believes political views led to his firing. The day after he announced that he was running for the PPC, he got fired from his organization, probably going to be a pretty cut and dried case of wrongful dismissal. They offered him a severance package with a hush order in it, and he declined that. BC drug decriminalization and safer supply associated with more overdoses. Study shows no shit.
Starting point is 01:31:53 Five-year-old girl overdoses on fentanyl in Mission BC. I'm just going to say. Okay. Is this not parenting? Like to me, like, or am I, so one, the, the first story is on research on safe supply and, you know, all this stuff. And you're like, this is whatever. The second story is a five-year-old girl overdosing on fentanyl in a house while she's in the bathtub. And so my initial reaction is that that is on absolute parents.
Starting point is 01:32:24 Is this not? I mean, or how are you tying it together? Like you think about it. I mean, you know how sometimes you like to have a shower beer? Shower beer, a shower fentanyl?
Starting point is 01:32:34 I assume when you're a crackhead, I assume when you're a crackhead that you're just going to lean out, have a quick little hit while you're scrubbing your junk. Yeah, it's, it's, I mean, we do it. It's an extremely, I want to be extremely sad story, right? I mean, oh, it's, it's absolutely brutal. Could you imagine? No, I can't.
Starting point is 01:32:53 The guilt. Could you imagine the guilt? Oh, no, I can. And the fact that it's such an obvious thing. And then this, and then this is, this is this whole thing. Anyone who keeps fentanyl and their residence should ensure it's always stored in a secure place out of reach of anyone who is not intending to use it. How about don't have fucking fentanyl? Correct. 23 of me gets judges approval to sell your DNA.
Starting point is 01:33:20 Do I need to say anything more? Was this not some crazy conspiracy theory like a couple years ago? You can't trust these people with your genetic information. Now they're going into chapter 11 and their last ditch is to sell off their whole thing. Their stick, their market differentiator was that we will never sell your information. Okay. So if you're the Golden State killer, you don't have to worry about getting caught because
Starting point is 01:33:49 the Ancestry.com gave your information away and then it led to them tracking down your DNA a whole bunch of crime scenes 40 years later. Okay? You go to 23 and me. Everything's locked up except when that company goes broke and then everything gets sold at pennies on the dollar. Kear Starmer. Confirmed.
Starting point is 01:34:12 Ninja Swords will be. banned this by the summer when we promise action we take it no no ninja swords so there's so many so there's no guns in in the UK and so all of the crime is being committed with knives long knives and ninja swords yes we don't need the bad story that they well no so keir starmer is the the prime minister of great britain or the UK I don't really understand how that whole works the thing but that island on the end of Europe he runs it and there's so many stabbing that they're going to make ninja swords illegal.
Starting point is 01:34:48 Correct. So, you know, this is where gun control takes you. I never thought we'd ever see this. I never thought we'd see this. I mean, because they're ninja swords. You never even see the ninjas. But on this show, we have talked about the other Randy an awful lot.
Starting point is 01:35:07 And I am really, really sad to see him go. Part of me believes he's going to find a way to have a resurgence. The other Randy has officially resigned. The final Randy is resigning from From Parliament. Yeah, from politics. So there are not going to be any randies in politics anymore.
Starting point is 01:35:29 See you later, Randy. Good riddance, weak swallel man. I'm honestly, the other Randy I was here for it, I was here for that entire story. That was a wild, wild story. You told me multiple times how, like at the very start of it, you're like, I know, it was ridiculous.
Starting point is 01:35:41 And it got more. And now you're saying I loved it from day one. I loved it from day one. Randy, I think you should come run for the liberal, the conservative party. I think that's what should happen. If we're going to have a Calistanian, like white claypool just said,
Starting point is 01:35:54 I'm like, we'll get the other Randy. At least he's got some straight credit, right? Maybe he can make a resurgence of his career, steal some more money. Blame it on another Randy? You know, the oilers.
Starting point is 01:36:04 All right. And, yeah, so for those of you listening and not watching, the Edmonton lubricators have come out with a new logo. and it's pretty good. It's bad. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:18 Yeah. So this is Sean's team. So we've got nothing but time, nothing but time for the Edmonton lubricators. Snow white, 71% on Rotten Tomatoes, but they got a 2.2 out of, on their score on IMDB. Here's a couple of quotes,
Starting point is 01:36:34 lazy, visually repellent. That's the independent. Disney has trashed its reputation of times. The Huffington Post said a strange hot mess. And this film... The Huffington Post came out a retirement to review this movie. That's how bad it was. Film has a major identity crisis.
Starting point is 01:36:50 The BBC. Yeah. The BBC had bad things to say about it. But here's not the B. And we've been talking about this Snow White thing ever since they did the, um, the, the ethnically diverse,
Starting point is 01:37:02 but not actual dwarfs like years ago. And so there was all of these people posting videos of, and these are just tweets talking about it, but all these people saying, I'm going to go to the theater and they're empty. Empty theaters, empty theaters,
Starting point is 01:37:20 empty theaters, and, oh, I've got it up there twice. It shows that on Disney films, I looked into it. It is the worst opening weekend for a Disney live action film. The only one that was close to it was,
Starting point is 01:37:36 yeah, was Mufus. No, it was Mufasa. Mufasa was right beside it. It was, um, just a little ahead of it.
Starting point is 01:37:43 And then it was Dumbo, or maybe it beat Mufossa. I think Mofossa might even be worse. Oh. That's pretty bad. Which pretty, yeah, which shocks you. But they spent close to $300 million on it. Yeah, and that's what we know about, which means they probably spent something like four.
Starting point is 01:37:57 Plus, they spent another few hundred million marketing it. So this was a very huge money loss for them. And maybe, maybe they should just get away from the girl boss tribe. Payments for Tesla's under Canada's electric vehicle, real-bate program have been frozen pending a government investigation into whether they're valid. Transport Minister Christia Freeland said in a statement Tuesday the eligibility criteria for future incentive programs for zero-emission vehicles will be changed to ensure Tesla will not be eligible. So as long as the illegitimate and illegal U.S. tariffs are imposed against Canada, so much for saving
Starting point is 01:38:30 the planet twos. There's no planet B. There's no planet B. And a Calgary police officer unintentionally fired around from a service-issue pistol inside. district office Sunday morning. Hey, boy. Oh, also on the, on the, uh, uh, EV front,
Starting point is 01:38:47 Manitoba canceled their, um, their, subsidy of specifically Tesla's, because they, they hate the environment. All right. Uh, happy news. Canada's, uh, ladies world title.
Starting point is 01:39:05 There you go. Right there. We're talking curling. Sorry. Curling. Yes. Yeah. So, Holman,
Starting point is 01:39:09 out of, I think she's in Ottawa, actually, specifically. She's in Ontario. I think it's in Ottawa. She's the skip, and they won back-to-backs, so congratulations to them. And then President Trump said he will pay the two stranded astronauts overtime pay for the 286 days that they were stuck in space, even if he has to do it out of his own pocket. So that's pretty cool. He's like, it's the first time I've ever heard of this.
Starting point is 01:39:35 Thanks for bringing it up to me. So that was pretty cool. Community notes. Any of notes. Well, I'm going to start with, obviously, the Cornerstone Forum. If you haven't got your tickets yet, that is happening May 10th in Calgary. Looking forward to, well, as Vance Crow, I was talking to Vance Crow about it. He's like, man, how about the timing on your event?
Starting point is 01:39:55 He's like, it's going to be right after the election. I'm like, you know, he's like, think if Carney gets in there. How many people are going to be like, holy crap, what do I do? Or if they're, you know, they think something's going to have a super majority for the conservative is going to happen and it doesn't have it. It's just like it's time to out well for people to get together and talk some things. So if you're sitting there on the fence about whether you should come or not, it's time perfectly for right after the federal election, which we're going to have live coverage right here, us too, yeah. Yes. That's the other community note is that
Starting point is 01:40:24 we're going to have the best hands down, not even closed. April 28th. April 28th, live election coverage. Watch it at home, have watch parties, go to a bar and get them to play it. Send us pictures. Send us everything. we'll be glad to just air everything. It's going to be a great day. Anything else, too's. Yeah, I got a couple. So Zane says, if you're in Calgary area this weekend,
Starting point is 01:40:46 drop down to the Calgary World of Wheels at the BMO that's on the Stampede Grounds and watch Rzeeb's Battle of the Tech's Engine Assembly race. Now, he sent me a text about this late last night. I was already in bed, so I got to ask him the details of it. But I guess they're just racing to see you can put an engine together the fastest. And I don't know if it has to pull. pull anything or how long it has to run for what the stipulations are or how far
Starting point is 01:41:11 scrapped down it is. But it's interesting. And, uh, you know, a long time watcher, fan of the show, sponsor of the show. So check that out and support him if you can. And then, uh,
Starting point is 01:41:22 also crossfield, Alberta, a little town north Calgary, uh, is in the final four for hockeyville this year. Crafts Hockeyville. Um, and then the votes are here.
Starting point is 01:41:34 I got, I've got a whole lot to read about this. But the vote is on April 4th from 9th. o'clock Eastern until April 5th at 5 p.m. Eastern. It's over 32 hours. The only town from Western Canada to make the top four. Nobody in Western Canada has won it in the past nine years. It's for the Pete Knight Memorial Arena. And it's used for hockey figure skating, community, like public skating, shinney, parents and taught skates, high school hockey program, lacrosse, or won high school's graduation, just to name a few.
Starting point is 01:42:07 so we're going to be talking about that leading up to it. But vote, support it. I'm guessing there's some kind of an online campaign. I don't know about that just yet, but do what you can to help them get over the finish line with this and let's not let some bastards in the East win it. Tomorrow is they're doing, Jason Levine and a bunch of people and friends, I guess, are doing a live stream fundraiser.
Starting point is 01:42:36 Dan Hartman had his lawsuit against the Canadian government over teens, sudden death, his son's death. Yes. Dismissed by an Ontario judge. So they're raising money for his next lawsuit against Pfizer or the similar, I think it's the same lawsuit. Either way, that's going to be tomorrow. So if you're on X and you want to tune into something like that or you want to donate some money towards Dan Hartman, who lost his son, Sean, that's going to be happening tomorrow as well. So, twos, anything else before we hop out of here. I think that's about it, my friend.
Starting point is 01:43:08 Folks, appreciate you hopping in. 151 went a little long today. I'm going to be honest. I thought it was going to be quick, and I was wrong on that. But it was a ton of fun. Thanks for hopping in every Friday, 10 a.m. Mountain Standard time.
Starting point is 01:43:22 Us two Yahoo's are here. We'll hope you'll join us and share it out there. Like Tuesday said, April 28th, we're eyeing a big federal election coverage. It's going to be a ton of fun. And we'll hope you enjoy us for that night as well. Tews, until next week. See you there.
