Oh, it didn't play the song. I don't know why I didn't play the song. Not my fault. I'm over here. All right. So here's the rant. Here's how we get things going with this. Is that sometimes you have to make personnel changes.

I used to work with this guy. We used to have, like, he used to be the co-host of this show. And it worked for a while, mostly because of tax incentives. You know, you get government grants for working with certain unrepresented minorities. And so, you know, we got we got some tax credits to install a wheelchair ramp and lickproof windows. But the problems just kind of kept piling up. And then last week, he was talking about this live stream we had. And he said, oh, yeah, we had almost 14,000 people tuning in.

And no, no, here's the problem with, you know, counting bottles is fine. Big numbers get difficult. And so the issue was that it wasn't almost 14,000 people. It was almost 14,000 people simultaneously. We had almost 70,000 people to it in in the first day, which is a completely different number. And so sadly, we had to get an HR involved, walk him out with the box of his shit. And now we're going to make the mashup great again. So welcome to the new improved mashup.

And today I am joined by Jim Sinclair. Thank you for having me, guys. Hey, another reason why I'm here, it's a very special day. It's obviously Airborne Friday, but on this day, back in 1951, the second battalion PPCLI were awarded the presidential citation for fighting off the entire Chinese army. And they had some help. So here's the cold notes. There was a U.S. Ten Corps.

Was that in Korea? Yep, in Korea. They basically saved Southern Korea and Seoul. The Chinese were going to roll through and take over the whole country. So everybody's fleeing the battlefield. There's three units that stayed, and there was an Australian infantry unit that stayed on one of one of one of one of these high features outside of Seoul. The other one was Patricia's, the PPCLI, two PPCLI, in fact. They were the airborne guys.

They stayed on their whole net. New Zealander artillery units. it behind them within reach of artillery and had some American tanks. So the Austroians got pushed off their hill and it just basically left the Canadians there alone to keep the Chinese from getting further inland. And Big Jim Stone was the commander. He said, boys, we're not leaving. Everybody dig in.

So day and night, human waves of Chinese military swarming over this hill. Every time they're overrun, they'd go back into their bunker. and they would shell the area and then basically they would get back to their fighting positions. The Canadians, the Patricia's lost, I think, two dead, 12 wounded and killed untold amount of Chinese that they would try and taking them over. In fact, the Chinese actually left the battlefield because they realized they couldn't get through this choke point

that the patricia's held. And yeah, so happy Airborne Fridays to 10 Korean War vans. are still around. Thank you, boys. Up to Johns. Up to Johns and airborne. And actually, if you go to, I'm not 100% on this,

but I'm pretty damn sure. Yeah. Well, that is, that's actually part of the brewing process for Bohemian, is that every, every bottle has a little bit of victory in it. But if you go to the museum in Calgary, yeah.

I was just there, I was just there early November last year. I'm pretty sure they have a whole mural about that specific battle. Yep, they do. In fact, Chuck and I, when we got out of battle school, one of our first jobs was to open this display for the old Korean war vets over there. So, of course, we just got to Calgary and we had to dress up in our fancy uniforms and were standing underneath these hot spotlights and we've been drinking the night before.

and just beads and sweat poured down on us for this whole parade. But you didn't budge with them. The old guy's going to kick the shit out of us and we would have let them down. So we stood there proudly and took the pain. And I'll never forget that. And I've been back to seeing it. I've seen it a couple of times. I took my kids.

It's a great thing to see. It is. And you can spend literally entire days there. between all the different wings they have. But like even just the one for the Princess Patricia's. Like yeah, sure, there's the Highlanders there too. And yeah, you can check that out if you want. Blind grinders.

Okay. All right. So let's get into things. First off, if you have any community notes or anything like that, you can throw them out now, but it would be better if you throw them out at the end. I actually don't think we have any unless Jim knows of any that I haven't even asked them.

about yet. I got a community. I got a community note. Save it. Save it. Well, no, I got to tear out there. No, no, I'm like a, no, I'm telling you, make sure you go and vote. I get a piece of paper and I get a pencil, practice voting, make an X.

If you want, go stand in the line, pretend like you're in line and have your registration card. Like, like, you got to do some prep work. Well, I mean, you guys are all, you guys are all about. about drills. So that makes sense. And if you're enjoying this so far, like it, share it, retweet it, send it to people who would otherwise hate it.

And now the other thing we like to start, we don't like to start to show off with, but we start to show off with the Coot 6.5. And so this is where we talk about some of the things that have been going on in Canada that don't really make a lot of sense, given the fact that some guys at Coots got six and a half years.

And so here's one for this week. Suspect released after tours violently assaulted in Vancouver. And so she was brutally attacked by a stranger around midnight on April 15th. And she posted this video of her just being absolutely crap kicked. And I've got the same link in here twice. But not only did this guy immediately get released on. on bail for assaulting and beating the crap out of a stranger who was a woman. But his mother was calling the cops on that guy two days before that saying,

can you please take this guy away, domestic issues, he's acting crazy. And that wasn't enough. They just let him go anyway. And then two days later, he nearly murders a woman. This is what she looked like. this is what happens when somebody's mother calls in and says, you need to take my son away, he's not well right now. And they say, ah, it'll be fine.

This is what happens two days later. Jim? Yeah, it's horrific. I, like it says, it's sickening to see that we have political people that are thrown in jail and persecuted. And, you know, this has happened to the people that were part of the, trucker convoy, it's, it's, it's absolutely sickening. And, uh, I can't, uh, I can't tell you, um, how, how horrible, uh, things have gone when, when it comes to, to this kind of stuff.

It's, it's, it's totally ridiculous is what's happening. Well, it's insane. Like, did you hear that, uh, Chris Barber was saying that they want to, uh, scrap his truck? Yeah. Yeah. I, like, they want to confiscate it. Uh, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, skate it and they want to they want to turn it into a a doorstop basically. Yeah. Yeah. Because that truck driving around Canada is a reminder of exactly how big a jerks they are.

Yeah. Yeah. I hope he gets it across the border to the states and has it down there and keeps it out of their reach until until Commerheads prevail up here. Like that's just totally fucking bizarre to me. Like where are we, where are we going? as a nation like Jesus. First thing they did is took Vimy Ridge out of passports.

Then don't tell the people that work there. Don't talk about all proud the world is of Canada and their achievements of becoming a nation at Vimy Ridge. Let's start doing this to every facet of Canadian society. Like let's just erase everything to be proud of. And yeah, they can't erase this mark that upon the liberal government that the Canada stood up to them and made them bend their knee. And then they then they totally over like handed,

handled all the peaceful protesters there with horses running over ladies and wheelchairs. And what sickens me is the veterans that were around that, that cenotap and they went in there and basically ban ended the hell out of those guys, the muzzles of their M4 rifles discussing on the, on the hands of the police officers that volunteered for that. Like in the military, if you follow a dislawful order,

and there's penalties that you pay for that. And like I said during COVID, when I was working with the military, I said, if it ever comes to us against the people of this country, I will never cross that line. I'm always on the side of the people. And, you know, it just goes to show you how a paycheck and a mortgage

will make you do some horrific things if you have no core values or ethics. And unfortunately, those those police officers that went there to support Trudeau that day, I hope they, I hope they regret their decisions. And you never know what could happen in the future. Absolutely. You might have to answer for it. Wouldn't that be nice if it actually did? And speaking of disrespecting vets,

we're going to lead with this. And yeah, so I just saw this this morning. But another combat vet who says he was offered medical suicide comes forward. Two-tour Afghanistan combat vet David Balzer, who served in the Princess Patricius, told the Toronto Sun he was offered made on December 23rd, 2019. Two days before Christmas. They said, why don't you just kill yourself?

Terrible. Disgusting. Well, yeah, it's, you guys have done more than anybody can really express. And this just drive, like, I don't, I don't know of any story in Canadian media has made me as mad as this one has in the past several years. And that's keeping in mind what's been happening in Canadian everything for the past several years. But they did say a key figure shedding light on the VAC made scandal was CAF veteran. Oh, sorry. I'm reading the wrong paragraph here.

Oh, wait. Oh, do, do, do, an internal investigation determined, because it's always an internal investigation, determined in 2023 that the responsibility lied with just one case worker who they said was no longer employed with the VAC. Now, I got to give Brian pass a fume a little bit of shit in a loving way because I'm pretty sure that there were multiple people coming forward saying that it was different caseworkers when this story broke. Well, I'm sure it is different caseworkers, but there's got to be like some kind of a meeting that has been sent down to the caseworker saying, hey, this is an option to offer your veterans. like it had to come from somewhere. Yeah, it's not like. Well, the passport department.

Hey, I just, you know, I'm calling to find out where my passport is. I've been waiting for it for a year. What's going on with that? You don't have those people being like, well, maybe you should just kill yourself. Hey, let me, let me back up this training minute here because I've been like going through some back stuff. and I tell you, every time I call there or talk to somebody, they are like, they bend over backwards to help you. Like, I've never, I've never had a bad encounter with anybody I've ever, ever talked to there.

And the other thing is, they help a lot of, they help a lot of people in need. So, so I'm sure it is like some bad, some bad people that might be got through the cracks at work there. but anyone that I've ever talked to there, just totally respectful and bend over backwards for you. So that's my shout out to the people that work at Mac. But apparently there's some bad apples there. So they got to figure out how to get rid of those guys and change those policies. So that should never have been a policy offered to anybody.

I don't care who you are. But yeah, that's just terrible. I mean, I think if Chuck was here, He'd probably push back on that a little bit. Because if I remember correctly, he was having a lot of trouble with hearing, hearing loss. And them failing. Yeah, exactly. Them saying like, well, are you sure?

It's from firing thousands of rounds of ammunition overseas and being blown up several times. Like, you know, do we really have enough documentation of your hearing loss to try and help you with it? And I know there's a buddy my Dale who's probably listening right now, who's had multiple issues with the VAC as well. Yeah, it's, I don't know. I haven't talked to them personally. Maybe I just got lucky with the people I've dealt with. And I've heard these horror stories myself.

And I just never ran into it. So I got to speak from my experience with them. And they've done nothing but help me out and other people I know. so but yeah Chuck he uh he he he has bad hearing uh that's that's without a doubt but um yeah sometimes some as a civilian it's it would be hard for them to understand like like what you've actually gone through you know until you walk walk through the steps of somebody that's that's lost their hearing and and uh yeah it'd be hard for them to fathom you know the the environments that we survived through, right?

Completely agree. Okay, so now I'm not sure if you realize this or not, but there's an election coming up. Massive. It is a massive election. It's the most important election that any one of us have ever been part of. And maybe even the nation. Like, yeah, this is huge.

Well, I'm inclined to agree with you. In all fairness, I have heard people describe every single election in my memory as being that exact thing. Yeah, but let the last election that we had, yes, we were trying to get rid of Trump or Trudeau, but we weren't in the situation of how that we're in now. Like things are way worse now. And if we get another four years of liberal, like basically driving the car right on. the cliff. Like, hopefully we can hit the brakes and stop it now. But, yeah, no, this is,

this is critical. It is. I'm more inclined to, uh, I feel like we should actually jump out. And if they want to keep driving it off the cliff, we just let them. But, uh, but there's been a lot of interesting updates in this election. So for example, uh, both, uh, the conservatives and the liberals put out a cost of platform. And it's interesting. So Tyler Meredith, who, is well he's basically he works for the liberals

in a bunch of different capacities and he was talking about how the IFS the Institute for Fiscal Studies and democracy ranked the respective platforms

and gave Carney's top marks and it's interesting because Carney is saying that the conservative ones is a bunch of made-up bullshit and Pahliav is saying that the liberal ones are a bunch of made up bullshit. And I feel like nobody is really cluing into the fact that

both of them are right. Oh yeah. Yeah. It's all pie in the sky BS to try and get elected. That's all it is. That's all it is. And everybody's just like, oh, well, my guys is better. No, my guys is better. Guys, nobody's is good at all.

But the interesting thing about the Institute for Fiscal Blah, blah, blah, blah, is that if you go and look this up, Government of Canada website, Institute of Fiscal Studies and Democracy, $598,000 grant in 2021. Isn't it weird how the people who get government money always seem to support government things? Yep, yeah, no, I get it. Hey, here's the thing.

No, Tuesday, I know you're, you're hoping that, you know, the liberals win so the West could separate. I want to keep the country together. And for lots of reasons, like, I think it's worth fighting for. It's just we, if we could turn the tide and, hey, Pollyev is going to tell some mysteries to get elected. Like, that, that's just what happens when you're running for politics. It's, it's shitty.

and if we could ever get rid of politicians, the life would be a lot better for everybody on this planet. But if Pollyev could get in and turn this boat around and crack open, like, because Daniel Smith has a bunch of things that she wants addressed within six months. Hopefully Mo sends a similar thing in,

but different points. And we have a chance to fix our country. If not, it's going to be torn apart. That's why this is super huge important election. Like if the liberals win, my feeling is from what I'm feeling around, you know, where I live is the country is going to be tore apart. And I don't want to see that. But if it goes that way, obviously I'm on board.

Now I'll help in any way I can. But right now I'm still wanting to ship the float. So I'm going to try and help that happen. So yeah, it's important. This is a huge election in that in that regard. See, I'm more inclined to think that what I want is different than what people in Eastern Canada want. And I don't want to say that my way is better or that their way is worse, which is the same

thing. But I don't want to say that one is better than another. They're just different. And trying to impose something that works on Eastern Canada that works for Western Canada isn't going to work out well. like what, you want us all to get jobs? And applying something on Eastern Canada or Western Canada that works in Eastern Canada, which is sending all the money to Eastern Canada doesn't work either.

And so my take is more or less just you guys want to vote for what works for you. And that's fair. And we want to vote for what works for us, which is fair, I think, as well. I don't think it's unreasonable. And if there are two completely different things, then the way for everybody to get what they want, is to draw a line in the middle. You guys get what you want.

We get what we want. It's been great. See you later. Guess what though? And here, and this is all, this is like the design of the government. They've got wedges driven between the Maritimes and the east, Gates Western Canada.

And I've worked with lots of people out east. And I presented this to a couple people and, and talked about it with Sean. Like, what would, be the, like how great would our nation be if we could communicate better? Like radio talk shows, like maybe one day our talk show guy and that's doing a radio show West has Easterners phone in like they have a brother or sister radio station down east

and he's actually presenting the Western values to the Easterners out there and they can phone in and ask them questions. And then we reciprocated in in the West where we have an Eastern person that runs a talk show and hey, this is the East's issues. And Westerners can phone in and say, well, okay, well, let's find a common ground. And that brings Canadians together is when we could talk and communicate. And it'd be great. We don't have any of that. Even the alternative in the new media sphere, everything is compartmentalized.

I know. We got to break that wild open. We got to break that shit wide open and get. people involved in talking and and present the case of Western Canada to the east so they so they can feel our pain and they can they realize where the money is coming from that that provides them the unemployment insurance out there like a lot of people don't get it because they they haven't been taught it so well it's such a big country though that it completely makes sense that you have completely different thoughts and priorities like that's where I'm at right now and people

People are listening to us across the fucking world. We can at least talk to people in the East and communicate online and start these conversations and get the dialogue going. Well, I mean, here's the thing, though, Jim, is that they still want completely different things. They might understand where we're coming from. But if we say, okay, you know, we want to turn the taps off and stop sending you $14 billion a year to fucking Quebec, like, that's a big deal. That's a big deal. to do they don't fucking know that i'm telling i'm staying we need to cut off the tap right you think about it there's i i've said this on the show before but if you look at you cut out

the tap oil going to the united states you want to see no no you got to tap off of the money you all yeah all those coins and and dollar bills that go into that pipeline and then they and then they exit in montreal and get you know yeah you're right about Like there's, if you look at where I'm at right now, almost all the continental U.S., a third of Mexico and parts of Russia are closer to me right now than Ottawa. It literally makes more sense geographically speaking for us to have this conversation in Spanish than it does to send equalization to fucking Quebec. Jesus Christ, dudes, I hate it when you got a point. I'll try and do it less often. Yeah, yeah.

Don't do that again. You're making my brain hurt. Okay. Oh, man. Now I've got to have a drink again. All right. Yeah, me too. I brought myself down.

Okay. Lots of stuff happening in this election. This senior woman, this is great. She goes to, this senior woman goes to a Mark Carney rally. She waits in line for an hour. She got denied. Was that part of her role? She's a senior citizen.

They've already made their money. They don't have to be criminals anymore. Burn off some time or something. I don't know. But she waits in line for an hour to get in, then gets denied entry despite the fact that she had been invited to this thing. And then while she was waiting, her car got towed despite the fact that police were directing people.

Police were directing people where to park at this carty rally. And then when they parked where they were supposed to, their cars got towed. Oh, my God. And people wonder why people hate the establishment. I think it's great. There's so many fun things that happen. Hey, I think we've got a conservative voter there.

For those of you listening, I'm going to finish down a little bit because it's overwhelming. But CBC pulled up to a rally in Saskatoon. And while they were trying to find parking, here's all the people booing CBC. Yeah. But hey, hey, who does that? Who drives to the front of the line to try and find parking? But do they think they're so special, they'll show up like 40 minutes late and,

oh, there's going to be a spot for us. That's just like when they don't get in line questions. And then if they're pissed off that they didn't get to ask questions. Well, he didn't get that fucking line. That's true. Although, although I will say, I will say that in CBC's limited defense,

they could show up right when something starts. because there's always at least a couple of spots right near the door reserved for people like them. Oh. Okay. Here's, okay, so Mark Merrison. So this Calgary Herald article says Alberta won't tolerate another decade of liberal rule. And he says, I'm confident that the majority of Albertans, like all Canadians, support democracy. See, it's just this underhanded thing.

it's not as though we do support democracy but we haven't seen it in nine fucking years like they just it's a fucking it's like a mirror smoke show with the liberal government well okay if if you've got a significant portion of the population

who never get to say in anything at all and things go in the antithesis of good governance for that area they'll support democracy but they just want to have their own. And it's going to be, you guys can do your thing.

That's fine. You guys don't want any pipelines. That's cool. We won't build any pipelines to you. Okay? You could just whatever you want, that's fine. You just do it on this side of that line. And we're going to do our own thing over here.

No hard feelings, but your assholes. Right? Well, that's the liberal government does not support democracy. They're the ones that created the transfer payments. going to the east. We didn't say, hey, we got a shit ton of fucking money. We want to give you all of it and we'll just keep enough so we don't starve.

How's that? We didn't do that. In all the fans, do you know who wrote the current formula for equalization? Harper. In its current iteration, Harper, Harper, with the help of Jason Kenney, wrote it as it is right now. That has not been revised since.

And that, That's all because the Constitution can't get ripped up and get like 10 seats per Provincent Territory. There should be two senators appointed by the province of territory to go to Ottawa to represent us people. If they're not representing us, we can pull them back and get an equal footing for everybody in the country. Like it's that simple, but they won't fucking do it because they take all of our fucking

money and they control the West. Well, that shit's got to stop. and hopefully fucking Polly Mav could fucking do it. Excuse my excuse my. I'm not. That's okay. That's okay. We can swear as much as we want on the new and improved mashup.

All right. So Ashley Burke from the CBC post this picture of Mark Carney standing out, Alamie Putin in Granby, Quebec. And I've actually been to that fucking restaurant before. They got like 50 kinds of butteen. They've been there for like 80 years. You puttee. and other trucker.

You know what? We're going to get a new host next week. Yeah. She says liberal leader, Mark Cardi, what? Just because I stand inside of the screen. And you need a wider lens fucking over there because you eat so much fucking putteen.

Now you're mad. Oh, you're, oh, sorry. I didn't know I didn't hurt your feeling. Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't realize this is a bulimia comfort zone. Oh, my God. Hey, you can always push away for the putteen. It's like, it's almost like a pushup. Just push away for the protein. You know what? The problem is, is it all goes right to my hair, Jim. How are you doing that front? Yeah. Well, like, hey, it's, uh, it's like a, yeah, I don't want to say it. I don't want to offend anybody. Like, is it, is it like an Air Force thing that way you don't have to deal with wind resistance or what? I wasn't in the fucking, I was an airborne motherfucker. Air Force. Air Force is one step away from organized unemployment, for Christ's sakes. God damn it,

oh, you wait till I see you in May. Oh, yeah. You're going to go, you're going to go full Navy on me? You're going to go full Navy on me? You might have the leg wrestle. Okay. Oh, my God. So, Cardi's and Granby. What? Well, I, you can't replace me with anybody else. I'm the guy now I'm the guy I'm not leaving just like when they tried to kick me out that bar in Germany

I'm not leaving I have been kicked out of Far Dice or Olive Gardens than this Yeah You just have to change your show Yeah Well you'll just come in in a different outfit next week

And I'll be like hello a new guest Yeah Okay So Carney Standing outside this thing And then he actually actually goes so far as to oh shoot I got everything

out of order but that's fine anyway or he worked there he worked there just like as if he ever worked there but he showed up he showed up and he did the Trump thing where he puts a hat on and does a load of fries which is exactly which Trump did and so anyway

Ashley Burke from the CBC deletes this tweet and you know because she doesn't want she doesn't want anybody so why does Ashley Burke have such a vested interest spoiler alert CBC and making Carney not look like Trump. So

anyhow, here's another one. Conservatives port resources into Pierre Pollyev's writing amid fears of a tight race. People like, is this possible? GM Forbes, the Globe and Mail version of the story cited a poll of 3,000 people in Ontario by the OPC's internal pollster.

Nick Kovallis is that pollster. His response is, I haven't done any N3,000 polls during this campaign. so it's made up it's bullshit and then actually oh here's the picture here is Donald Trump on the one hand

and here is Mark Carney doing a load of fries with that Putin hat anyway they all that that red and white straped outfit they all wear that in the store it's kind of it's I think I feel like

I feel like the tips weren't probably high that day you make enough money. And then so, oh, shoot, I can't find it. But anyway, the point is,

is, oh, shoot, because I have it for another section. But Toronto Star is talking about Pierre Pollyev and this riding amid fears of things going wrong. And here it is.

They're talking about the chances of Pollynev losing his riding. Here is the current projection, according to 338 Canada of the Carlton. 93, percent conservative seven percent liberals but they're like oh pauliev might lose his riding i got to stop you right there hey i got i got i got stop you when when people see like the blue are are going to win or the conservatives are going to win the the fucking bullshit thing about that is that then some people won't go vote right so then that narrows a gap and then the liberals

fucking win so if if it was up to me i would be not showing any blue wave happening, I would fucking motivate people across this country to get out and vote for whoever they believe in and hopefully it's the conservatives. Because it's not till you put an X in that box that's going to make that blue wave that they're predicting really happened. So let's make sure we fucking stress that point today because this is the last time you're going to talk to people before the election on Monday. So get out and vote.

That's all I'm saying. I don't care how blue things are. let's make this shit happen. Yeah, that's it. That's my rant. I think you're totally wrong because the media perception is it's not because people like to be part of a winning team. I mean, Oilers fans aside.

And so they want to be part of a winning team. And so when the media is bombarding you with the fact that the conservatives are losing, the liberals are winning, then some people who are going to be on the fence are going to say, well, I don't want to be the guy who voted for the losing team. I'm going to vote liberal. And then, lo and behold, down the road, in theory, the liberals win. And the legacy media in Canada gets a few billion dollars more of our goddamn money. But here's another thing that came out.

So Carney has been talking about how he was a goalie when he went to Harvard, because Harvard's known for its hockey program. Yep. And somebody actually went and tracked down his record. So he had. a total of 84 and 85 at Harvard University in the NCAA.

He didn't play a single game in the one year. He played one game in the second year. He spent a total minute... That game was against the parents. Maybe, maybe. But he spent 10 minutes on the ice and faced five shots of which he stopped all of them.

And so Mark Carney is probably the best Canadian hockey player of all time because he's a goalie who in his entire professional career never let in a single shot. Not even Marty Brodour, Dominic Hachick. Nobody else. Terry Sawchuck can't say that he never let in a single goal. What about the Zamboi driver guy?

He lit in a couple goals that when they, when Carolina beat the Leafs? Oh, I remember that. He let in a goal or two. He let in a goal or two, but he did, they did beat the Leafs with a Zamboni driver.

Yeah. And so Mark Carney undefeated, perfect record as a goalie, completely unheard of. Completely unheard of. I think that's made up. Well, I mean, he was only on the ice for 10 minutes.

He was only on the ice for 10 minutes. And it was probably his mom's shooting at them. She gave him some soft ones. She gave him some soft ones. He gave her some hard ones. So Jagmeet Singh. Jagmeet Singh. Friends, this is important.

Mark Carney says he fully expects to make more than $28 billion in cuts. Now is not the time for cuts. He says, here's the thing about the NDP. they've never ever said that any time ever is the time for cuts. Now is not the time for cuts. The other times are not the time for cuts. It's just it's absolutely silly to pretend that at some point, in the future or in the past at all,

that the NDP would ever advocate for government cuts because they never have. And unless something drastically changes, they never will. And so for him to say, now is not the time for cuts? It's absolutely asinine. Hey, hey, do you got the video of him being questioned about the EVs?

No, I don't. Okay, so, all right, let me tell you, let me tell you what was going on. So a reporter's asking him about if he believes in Pollyev's, you know, car plan where you can buy an electric car, you can buy a gas car, you can buy whatever car you want. And Pollyev is saying, if you buy a Canadian made car, he'll take away the sales tax. So they're asking, they're asking, saying, hey, do you believe in this same policy? And he's like, well, what, what EV policy you're talking about? He had no clue. Like, he's totally going to catch.

And he's trying to dodge it. He's like, yeah, yeah, well, EBs are good for the economy. And there's no policy saying that, that you can't buy gas cars after a certain time, like in 2030 or whatever the hell that. 2035 is the, you can't buy, you can't buy. you can't buy gas cars anymore. Totally like saying, no, no, that's not. That's not real. That's that's made up bullshit from the,

from the conservatives. Like no, it's legit. You can't buy on the current, with current laws on the book. I know, 35 you can't buy a gas car anymore. But that's what Singh was saying that it was a made up thing by the conservatives.

And when he was talking to the crowd, and he was talking to the crowd, it was like he was half asleep. He totally knows he's fucking, he probably won't, win his seat. He was just totally, he's just totally demoralized at this point. Like it's, you can see the writing in his face. He had like six people around them. I'm sure that they're working off some parole time too.

It was, it was nobody was. They're all. Oh, it's terrible. Okay. Well, speaking of Jagmeet Singh, to stop Pierre Paulyev, I put Canada before the NDP, Jagmeet Singh tells start. And so if you actually read this article, he goes on to explain that the reason why he coincidentally got his pension secured before the election was because Pollyev was surging in the polls and that we needed to have an election after Pollyav wasn't doing as well in the polls and that's why he did it.

The thing about it was was that, I mean, it's revisionist history. There was no indication at the time that Pollyev was going to do anything other than get a bigger and bigger and bigger majority. And so for him to just, it'd be like, it'd be like if you, I don't know, you take that example from the Coot 6.5, that guy who just attacked this random stranger and beat her near to the death.

If you found it afterwards that the random stranger he beat near to death was a pedophile, you'd be like, oh, see, I did it because I'm a good guy. Yeah. And this is exactly what he's trying to do with the fact that he is facing obliteration. But I mean, I don't know if you've ever heard this before, but the NDP are not a serious party.

Now, Jim, tell me you saw this guy on the, the internet. I've seen that picture. I don't know the gist of it though. Well, this was at a rally outside of a brewery. And this guy was flipping off Karima, who's kind of an independent citizen journalist. And it went totally viral because it's kind of, it kind of captures the sentiment of a lot of people in this whole, you know, boomers don't really give a fuck about the fact that everything's going down the drain as long as they can keep their high house prices and keep their entitlements. They'll just let people who aren't even born yet pay for all their free shit before they die.

Yeah. And so it got so bad actually that it turned out, it turned out that this guy used to be one of the executives in this brewery until he retired three years ago. And the brewery had to issue a statement talking about this guy and how he has had no ownership or operation. role here since 2022. His personal actions and opinions are his alone and not representative of the views or values of our team. Yeah, yeah. And so they even see the writing on the wall.

Yeah, yeah. When the place you used to work for has to distance yourself. Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty good. But it's, you know, it's interesting when you look at all this stuff, Jim, because you've got all these people who are finally, finally calling out the fact that you've got the senior citizens are voting overwhelmingly liberal, which is a complete change from from previous things where the senior citizens,

typically the older you get, the more conservative you get. But they've got a vested interest in keeping this train on the same track that it's on and be damned with anybody and everybody else that runs over in the meantime. And so you've got this big pushback on the boomer vote. vote because they're using their democratic ability to determine the direction of the country to push their own self-interest. Fair. You know what?

That's an absolutely, I would say, accurate representation of what they're doing. But where's the outcry when the public sector does it? Unions are consistently the largest third-party advertisers in all levels of government elections. Calgary, they were the largest. And there were multiple ones. BC, Ontario. Like we've covered all of this stuff on previous versions of the mashup with the old host before. Federal elections.

It's always, it's P-SAC and and whatever, all the different union acronyms. If the food is rotten, it doesn't matter what kind of food it is. A rotten apple, you got to throw it out just as much as a rotten peach. You don't say, oh, this one's okay because it's an orange. No, if it's wrong, it's wrong across the board. If they're voting for their self-interest is wrong, then them voting for their self-interest is also wrong. This isn't any different. If you're smart enough to recognize that an age demographic voting against the best interests of their fellow Canadians is bad, then congratulations.

That's the first step. But you have to apply this to everybody. The public sector or private sector, public sector guys who get on average like a third more than the private sector, with out all the ridiculous benefits taking into account or the golden pension. You look at the media who will slant the ever-loving fuck out of all of this coverage because they've got a vested interest, multi-billion dollar interest in having the liberals win. And if it stops, they're going to have to either get their hands dirty or try and make a living selling pictures of their feet to people who vote for the Green Party.

you look at the First Nations leaders who abhor financial transparency in their band and tell their communities to vote for the people who will get rid of it. Look at the people who demand that Alberta keep paying billions more in federal taxes so that they don't have to live within their means

in their provinces. Calling people out on their shit is a good thing. And not only people who will say otherwise are the fucking parasites that lose when you do it. Yep, true. Coming back to NDP. What's that?

All right. Let's do it. All right. Are you done? You feel better now? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I feel a little bit better. Good. All right. All right. Here is Rachel Notley. I'm not going to play the audio because she's annoying and gross. But she says because Jagmeet Singh has delivered more which is too upper to MPs than 30 conservatives wasting their breath on slogans and stunts.

I don't know who realizes realizes this or not but Rachel Notley is trying to line herself up to be the leader of the federal NDP especially considering the fact that she has nothing but time on her hands right now and she brings up actually kind of a valid criticism of the MPs

in Western Canada that are conservative is that quite often they accomplish fuck all you would be better off sending a rock to parliament to so-called represent you They don't get anything done. QDM had an amazing video on this the other day. You should check it out if you haven't seen it already.

Here's a little bit more about the costing platform. So Carney is planning on out Trudeau and Trudeau. The economist, the banker, the fiscal shipwriter who's managed crises. The black bars are how much money the Trudeau government was going to say. the pink is the PBO estimates and the yellow is how far into the red the Carney electoral platform is now granted it's bullshit you got to remember he's going right past it he's blowing he's blown double the money that Trudeau was going to be you got to remember this budget was made four years ago or two years ago by Carney for Trudeau this is the

they haven't changed nothing they just changed the name this is is the same budget they probably made up prior to the election and uh it literally is it literally is uh mona four day he was still the prime minister this would be the numbers we'd be looking at so well this was this was their platform this was their platform that that they had put together before carney was even the leader yeah and so oh carny's going to do things so differently well then why is he running off the same fucking back-and-napkin math he's the other guys put together he's the one that made him for him He was the designer.

Well, I mean, that's the thing. Was he the financial advisor for them? Yes. Was he a guy? Well, he was. But if you recall during the debate, he's like, oh, yeah, but they never listened to me. Wait. So you mean to say that you spent five years collecting a paycheck as an economic advisor

where nobody listened to a damn thing you said. And you just kept on doing that job? Do you have no self-respect? Do you have no dollars? Like, do you, you're willing to sit in a job where nobody listens to a damn thing you say for five years. And you're going to take that level of leadership and apply it to prime minister of this country. Yep. That's how they roll.

It is how they roll. And then when somebody says something, they just throw them under the bus and kick him out. And it'll probably be a female. Because they don't like being. They hate strong independent women, but I tell you what, they sure love dumb ones. They're like me when I was 24. So anyway, I trust, speaking of dumb women, this is from Twitter. I trust an economist with a doctorate over a politician that's literally done nothing but collect a paycheck.

This woman has been a liberal supporter her entire time on Twitter. I feel like when it comes to the question of politicians who've done nothing other than be politicians in their lives, she might want to sit this one out considering the fact that she spent the last 10 years talking about Justin. Yeah, yeah. Okay, I'm going to do something fun here. She would have got a pension four years ago, for Christ sakes.

Yeah, all right. So vote compass, CBC. We're going to do something fun. What's, uh, give me a postal code you know exists. 640 3 or uh SOG 640 is that or SOG 4CO 4CO 4CO fuck I know you know my own post a code

okay all right how the hell are you in the same writing as Lanigan Jesus Christ It's a big province Yeah but that's a long ways away Okay Yeah we're really fun here

So here's what we're going to do We're going to answer each question is going to be rapid fire because it's going on a little bit long. Each question we're going to answer as though we are the conservative platform. Okay. How much federal funding should the universities receive? Much less, somewhat less, about the same, somewhat more, much more or don't know? None.

They should survive on their own merit. No, no, no, no. Conservative platform. Conservative platform. What's that? I say if I was a conservative leader, I don't, no, no, no. What are they running on right now? Oh, they're fucked.

They're probably getting all the money they want. Okay, conservative platform. What Pollyev is telling people to vote for me because I'm going to do this. Apply it to this thing. What do you think he's saying about university funding? He's saying they're being overfunded. Okay, so somewhat less or much less? Somewhat less.

Okay. Canada should end its ties to the monarchy. I feel like he hasn't said a damn word about this. so I feel like neutral is fair. Okay. Quebec should be an independent state. He's not touching that with a 10-foot pole. Federal government should cover all the cost of prescription drugs for all Canadians.

Is he talking about repealing the prescription drug program? Has he even mentioned that? No. Okay. So at least somewhat agree. How accessible should abortion services be across Canada? I'm going to say about the same as now because he's talked about that. He said he's not going to do anything to touch it.

How much role? should the private sector have in health care? I'm going to say about the same as now because he's not touching that with a 10-foot pole either. How much should wealthier people pay in taxes? I think he's going to say somewhat less. Yeah, I agree. Because everybody should be paying somewhat less.

Should provide the funding necessary to offer daycare cost to parents no more than $10 per day. They said in their platform that they are not going to touch this, so they're strongly agreeing with it. Should fewer people be employed by the federal, government. He's talking about making very small cuts, actually not cuts, but just with attrition. So somewhat agree. How much money should out of work Canadians receive an employment insurance? I don't think he has anything about that. Denying the harms caused by the Indian residential school

system should be a criminal offense. He's not touching that with a 10 foot pole either. Canadians should have imposed tariffs on American imports and response to U.S. tariffs on Canadian exports. He has strongly agreed with that. How much should Canada do to reduce its carbon emissions. He's going to say about the same as now or maybe somewhat less. Somewhat less. Canada's laws place too many limits on freedom of expression. I'm going to say he's going to go somewhat agree. Federal government should prevent provinces from enacting laws that restrict public sector employees from wearing religious symbols at work. After the 2015 election, he's not

touching that either. How much should Canada spend on foreign aid? He's promised to make a few small cuts in specific areas. Federal government should fund sites where people can consume illegal drugs under medical supervision. He's going to say... He's going to say strongly disagree. Yeah. Yep. Canada should continue providing military assistance to Ukraine to aid its conflict with Russia. He's on the record multiple times and strongly agreeing with that.

How much say should indigenous people have over how Canada's natural resources are used? I think he's going to say, about. the same as now. You might be able to say somewhat less, but I think probably about the same as now. The federal budget deficit should be reduced, even if it leads to fewer public services. Somewhat agree he's going to say,

how many immigrants you can't admit? He's talked about this multiple times. It's about the same as now. No, he isn't. He's going to say about immigration. He said he was going to come back to immigration. Somewhat fewer. Fair?

Yeah. Yeah. Or freeze it until he gets it under control. He's talked about that. He'll give me the benefit of the doubt, many fewer. Federal government should permit the construction of more oil pipelines. He strongly agrees with that. He's always for that, yep.

Only those who speak English and French should be considered for top jobs in the federal government. He's not touching that one. He doesn't touch any of these things. Transgender women should be able to compete in women's sporting leagues. I think he is strongly disagreeing with that. Puberty blockers should be banned for adolescence. I think he strongly agrees with that, but I don't know for sure. Federal government should prioritize hiring visible minority candidates over other applicants.

I don't think he said anything against that. It got brought in by the conservatives. The first iteration of this got brought in by the conservatives. So I'm going to say neutral and I think I'm being generous. How much a candidate has spent on its military? He wants somewhat more. Yeah, he wants to increase it. No, somewhat.

He wants to meet the NATO requirements. Okay. we'll go much more. Should be taxed on the carbon fuel. They admit when using fossil fuels, strongly disagree. Harsher sentences. He says he strongly agrees.

How much say should federal government take over how provinces conduct their affairs? He doesn't touch this. No. Yeah. Okay. What matters most in deciding how you'll vote? This is us just pretending we're Pollyev.

So party leader, how trustworthy do you find Elizabeth May? Not at all. Not at all. Not at all. Him. He knows himself. Not at all. Not at all.

Not at all. Not at all. Not at all. And five. Competit. Okay. Whatever. It doesn't matter.

I'm just literally, I'm not even reading these. I've just got to pick things. Five, very interested. Jerbs. No, don't contact. me. Here's the results. That's interesting. So we answered this as close as we could and we were more to the middle. And so yeah, like when I took this, it landed me exactly on the PPC. It's, which is weird because it didn't account for the fact that I, I'm not interested in voting for a leader

who talks down to everybody and has an overwhelming French accent. But, I think that this whole thing is flawed. And I don't think it would be really hard for you to make a decent argument with restructuring the questions where you could show that the conservative party is somewhere right around here, basically mirrored left and right from where the U is on this. But this is the vote compass. And these are the priorities. How many questions were there about cost of living? Yeah, none. How many questions were there about interprovincial trade barriers? How many questions were there?

about decreasing red tape and overregulation, about housing. Yep. None of them. Not a single question that are consistently the top issues. 72% of Canadians think that cost of living is the most important issue in this election. And this vote compass from CBC did not have a single question in it. And we just went through it live to show you.

Do you want me to boo now because the CBC did it? Yes, yes. Yeah, blue CBC. Perfect. Perfect. So, for those of you who are watching the debate, when Dr. Humphrey, the French leaders debate, when Drie Humphrey asked the question about the graves and how there haven't been any found, then Rosemary Barton jumped in and said, well, of course they had been.

and that that was just far-right media presenting misinformation. And then the CBC was forced to issue a correction, which they quietly released on their website. And they had to say that, in fact, nobody's had been found. And so now you got a situation where John Rustad just kicked a woman out of his party in BC, out of the conservative party in BC for saying that no graves had been found. Aaron Gunn faced petitions calling for his cancellation, saying that no graves had been found. CBC themselves just admitted that no graves have been found.

I think we need to fund the CBC. We can't allow this to stand. Well, and look at the millions and millions of dollars that are spent on us. And there is children that have passed away and died in these residential schools. but also with orphan inches that were run by, you know, whoever at the time. And kids died. My grandmother lived out by Central Butte. And she lost two kids due to whooping cough.

And they're buried, you know, when you dig a grave in the middle of winter, it's not going to be a deep grave because the frost is six feet deep here in Saskatchewan. So you're not digging a six foot deep grave for a, of anybody in the middle of winter. No. It's, and it's, it's,

it's terrible, but that's our past. Lots of people pass away, uh, as children from childbirth or what have you. And it's, uh, it's something that should be,

uh, finalized. That's, let's get down to the bottom of this. If there's these graves, let's dig them up and, and identify who they are. And now, and let's,

and they don't, because all they had to do, all they had to do was find a jawbone. And this would be a completely different discussion. But the point is, is that CBC is now saying they're perpetuating this myth that was part of the compass, by the way. That was part of the vote compass. And CBC is perpetuating this myth that no graves have been found.

And as far as I'm concerned, they need to be defunded for this. It's egregious. It's unforgivable. Well, hey, like the taxpayer of the Federation is saying there should be no media allowed to be paid by the federal government at all. They should live on their own on their own merit. and that's just that's just how it goes yeah here's here's another uh that same article about polyev might be losing his writing this one's kind of interesting i'm going to point this one out the polyev principle the conservative leader has spent two decades in politics but canadians

still wonder what he believes by andrew willis well i wonder who andrew willis is but there's a link we can click here who do you think andrew willis is uh um working in business communication and journalism for three decades. And from 2010 to 2016, he was Senior Vice President of Communication for Brookfield Asset Management. Oh, there you go. The media is lying to us blatantly

in this whole thing. Judy Trin, when Carney first talked about his March 28 phone call with Donald Trump, he said that the U.S. President respected Canada's sovereignty. Now a month later, he confirms Trump raised 51st state idea in their call. Now, let's just look at the clip real quick. Yes or no, did Mr. Trump bring up the 51st state and his call with you?

I said that he did. I said that he did. The president, to be clear, he'll assume. The president respected Canada's sovereignty today, both in his private and public comments. Yeah, yeah, there you go. We asked about this on March 28th after the call. And you said that President Trump respected Canada's sovereignty.

to you both privately and in his public conversations. Were you being truthful? He absolutely did. He absolutely did. Look. Yes. Yeah. So not a good look for him and not a good look for the legacy media lying about it. Anti-Trump rage unites Canada except in rich and aggrieved Alberta.

Here's another clip of this woman just basically saying, please don't push me, please don't push me. to a guy who's in front of her. Yeah. Please vote wisely, Canada. The fate of the free press depends on the outcome of this election. Motherfucker, you guys get billions of dollars a year from the federal government.

We don't have a free press. It is literally the opposite of free. It is bought and paid for. Here's the thing about the CBC. They get all that money and then they give themselves bonuses. And then guess what they do? Then they find. fire everybody.

Like, was it right before Christmas, too? Like all the, like when they let all those people. I can't remember exactly when it got, when it happened.

But, uh, but, uh, they did, they did 16 million dollars worth of executive bonuses. If I recall correctly in the one year,

in one year. And that's on top of their salaries. But here's the thing. They say it's private and they don't want to release that information. Fuck you. That's taxpayers dollars. Yeah. Let's put it out there.

Let's see what you got. everything by default should be accessible. You know, how much money did Pierre Paliyev spend on pens and pencils? I should be able to look that up and find that out. I should be able to find all of this stuff. It doesn't matter whether you like the guy or hate the guy, whatever the guy is, whoever he is in whatever position. If I want to know how much money the passport office spent on lawn chairs to set up outside

when they had giant lineups, I should be able to find that in a spreadsheet. All of this should be by default. You shouldn't be hiding how much you spent on orange juice on your flight with the beef Wellington for the governor general and citing privacy concerns. Explain to me how much money you spent on orange juice

is a privacy concern. No, no. And so, okay. But here's the thing. When you work, when you put your name on the line and you volunteer to be working for the people of Canada, being a soldier or being a politician, everything you do is to be transparent with the taxpayer of the country.

It's supposed to be. It's supposed to be, but it isn't. It isn't. And that's, I mean, you keep coming back to this in the mashup. It never is. But moving on from the election, New Brunswick and Newfoundland signed free trade agreement. Now, I would just like to point out,

that it's explicitly stated in Canada that there is to be no trade restrictions between provinces. And yet we still have all of these because special interest groups and donors and companies who cater to like weird niche things managed to make a living off of these trade restrictions, resulting in deadweight losses into the economy. And now you've got two places with explicit free trade in them

that have to sign their own free trade agreement detailing how they're actually going to get free trade. This whole Confederation thing is broken. Oh, totally. All right. Government report predicts 2040 dystopia, collapsed economy, and hunting for food. Did you see this report?

Hey, where people are going to have to like forge on public lands or some goddamn things? Yes. Yes. The parliamentary budget office, or pardon me the prime ministers basically the liberal government staffers

came out with this report that said that by 2040 you're going to have people who own houses as the upper class people who rent houses basically just fucked and that there's going to be no ability to move up or down within the social hierarchy people aren't going to be able to leave the country and the poor people in an effort to not starve to death

are going to be foraging for fruits, berries, and hunting on public land as part of their ability to survive. Now, on the bonus, on the upside, the government can't really tax a deer that you shoot. But this is insane. This is Ottawa. Ottawa's report says that in 15 years, we are going to be basically living like nomadic tribesmen in this country.

And nobody sees any issues with that? Well, it's totally unfathomable. So if this come out of Ottawa, like the government paid for this report. Like, how come it's not on like every, every bit of news out there? Is that important? Yeah, maybe, maybe. It's not Cardi. sorry, I'm going to know them.

Okay. Well, it did come out. Like Brian Passive, you reported on this in the National Post, and Pollyev talked about it. But nobody else, like everybody seems to just have this idea that you're a dick for pointing out

how bad things are in Canada. And, you know, things aren't going to get better until you actually identify the issues. God, I love that mug. And the mug behind it. Yeah, every morning.

Yeah. Oh, you mean this one? It's pretty awesome. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like it's more sentimental appreciation that I have for it rather than aesthetics. Thanks. Thanks.

All right. Canadian workers among world's most stressed global survey finds. Look at this. We're at 58% stressed. And then the other options, angry, sad, and lonely. when it comes to your work perceptions. Now, here's the thing that people really miss is that you don't have ambivalent or checked out or numb as an option. And I feel like if that was an option, you'd have a lot of people who are just like, you know what, this is it.

I go to work. I get barely enough money. I had to cancel Disney Plus. And I'm just, I'm numb to this entire process. but someday I'm going to get a government stipend so I can live in a cubicle. And that was the one thing I thought or be offered made.

Or be offered made. Yeah, you worked well, you can't work anymore. We have no use for you. You can take made. Now, why don't we ever do that with politicians? You're gorging around in the wilderness in the middle of the winter looking for an orange. I,

if we're offering it to people who've, outlive their usefulness in the economy, and they're going to spend the rest of their life just getting free government money. Why don't we do that with politicians when they retire? I'm curious why politicians with their pension reflects the pay that they get while in the job. Nobody else's pension is the same.

Well, that's roughly how a defined benefit pension works, is that it's a reflection of what they do. Now, to your point, though, the only people in this day and age who have defined pensions work in the public sector. Nobody else does that at all. Hey, hey, I was in the Army. Like, our pension is not the same as a politician's pension.

It's not reflected by your pay level? Yes, it's by your pay level, but it's reduced like 25% or 50% Yeah, yeah, this is the same. Well, I thought, I thought their, their, uh, their, their, uh, their pension was the exact of what they were making while they were. No, no, no, no. Okay. I got, okay, I was wrong.

Okay. All right. I got, uh, I did, uh, in the night. Here, we got, we got, we got hacked. Hold on a sec here. We got some technical difficulties. Hey. Hey, guys.

Holy dinah. It's mini me. I think the co-host you got Jamie is pretty good. I'm glad that you found somebody to come on with you. Oh, yes. Of course. Yes, I'm doing what I can. How are you guys doing?

Are you saying booster juice or are you saying high twos? He's definitely not saying hi-toos, not at all. Are you guys kicking butt or what? They're winning. 13-9-19. Nice. Nice. How many goals did you get?

No, not. Hey, hey, you better go and talk to the Oilers and get them, get those guys back on the track. Yeah, you're, you're not wrong, Jamie. I'm biting, call me. Hey, did you guys see the meme? Last year we were losing and then that girl showed up to the stadium with her, and somehow her jersey got. Yeah, so I think they want her back in the stands on Friday or tonight.

anything to do to help they got to do something we don't got our humanica chorus to sing the anthem we need the we need the flasher in the stands well last time that happened they ended up not winning the Stanley Cup are you guys sure you want to

win a game let's just win a game we just wanted to say good morning you're doing a great job Jamie filling in all right hey you know what we always appreciate it and alumnuses of the mashup show up to pop in and say hi. Yeah. Yeah. We'll see you guys on Monday.

All right. See you that. Take care, buddy. Take care. All right. Well, that was that was a bit unexpected, but a pleasant surprise. I don't know. Did you see this?

We got to change the numbers. We got to change the numbers. That doesn't happen anymore. Yeah. $66 million experiment to dim the sun to combat global warming gets okay. But critics, rightly so, have called it barking mad. They're literally going to take the plot from the Simpsons episode or from Snowpiercer or from literally how many other things.

They're going to try and block out the sun to combat global warming. Now, as somebody who lives in the prairies of Canada, I think that's a stupid ass idea. Yeah. I don't know what to say. there's some pretty weird people out there and I don't know maybe they're right I for some reason I think they're wrong

and maybe maybe it's a common sense it's kept me alive to this day but I don't see how this is going to benefit anybody on the planet no no it won't it's absolutely insane Nenshi who we talked about has been absolutely trying to crucify

Daniel Smith for traveling to the states to promote Alberta. Now, here's him in New York. And I'm not even going to play more than just a couple seconds of it, but I just want you to look at how smug this guy is. Just look at this guy just rolling his eyes, talking to us like we're pieces of crap. I don't want to look at him.

And I find myself here at Cornell Tech University. What an absolutely condescending piece of crap. All right. Here's one. Small scale Alberta egg farmer arrested for selling eggs outside quota system. Oh, my God. A Lethbridge area farmer was arrested Wednesday morning in a dispute over egg sales with egg farmers of Alberta targeting small producers to protect its quota system.

Hey, hey, that guy better be careful or he's going to be in the same. the two guys from the Coots. He probably is. He probably is. Yep, he'll be right in there six years. And so anyway, yeah, the egg farmer cartel, they got

the RCMP to arrest this guy. Apparently he's still in jail. So, yeah, because he's selling eggs. Now, the Coots for and now it's a Coots to. Do you remember,

remember when now in that time frame when things are going down there was a trucker support rally in in winnipeg, Manitoba. So the people supporting the truckers out east were like walking back and forth across like a stoplight, you know, during the when when the light would be have the little man to walk, they'd walk across back and forth. Well, there was a dude that was like an anti-truck rally guy he timed it so when they came across the crosswalk he ran one of them over tried killing yeah yeah yeah and he got released that day yeah it was a tempted murder and he got released that day like like like where's it was it was a terrorist attack is what it was work how's this work no none of this works this guy got arrested for selling fucking eggs okay and here's like here's

another thing that we're not talking about so there's that shooting in toronto they're talking about who the person was there's there's hardly any backer not a word but that always happens whenever it would you show up with a gun at like the busiest airport in canada and thank god there's people that take care of them but that could have went totally sideways if if things would escalate it or there were people there to stop them before you got into the main tournament like uh yeah it's it's totally ridiculous what's going on in this country no pictures of that guy released, no name released. And as always, whenever that happens, right before and right before the election, they don't want to be like letting that out now.

No, no, absolutely not. Because people who say that maybe, maybe we should just like check people's paperwork before they come into the country. No, but not just at twos. Like that gun was a, was a pistol by the sounds of it, what they reported. I guarantee you that wasn't from a legally bought pistol in Canada. Yeah, he doesn't have receipts for it. No. And yeah, they don't want to talk about that shit right now. No, no, no, no, because that plays into the conservative narrative of saying, hey,

you know what? What if we just, like, made sure that people aren't rapists or murderers before we got them into the country? Like, it's just, which, which is a pretty pretty. But here's the thing. The reason, one of the reasons why they want lots of people in the country. so they can tax the fuck out of more people. How about we just stop bringing people in the country right now.

Let's get our shit in order. Let's contain our tax money within our own borders and make our country what it's supposed to be. And then we'll worry about helping other people if we can. It goes back to, hey, if your bed's made, your house is in order, your yard's in order, then you can help your community. And we can...

That's just extremism. That's just extremism, though, Jim. That's all it is. It's crazy. We let fentanyl. If you want to sell fentanyl, that's fine. You'll get released on bail. But if you sell the main ingredient in a fucking omelet, we'll throw the key away.

Yeah. Like what about all these safe consumption sites for all these egg dealers? You know, places like Denny's and Smitties. Yeah. Yeah. Do we need to shut down these safe consumption sites? Get that fucker in jail. How dare you sell eggs?

Jesus Christ. This country, hell in a hand basket, I tell you. And then this guy goes on. So bushels per acre, absolute beauty, Saskatchewan boy. He was talking about how anybody over 300 eggs or 300 layers needs to be enrolled in the egg farmers of Alberta. And you pay $735 per laying chicken. Oh, my God. And so you wonder why nobody wants to do that because it's financially crippling.

But this is this is the cartel. China wants to build a nuclear reactor on the moon. I think that's a really fun idea. I can't see any way that it could possibly go wrong. Letter Buck. Yeah. Wouldn't want to destroy. Wouldn't want to destroy the thing that brings the water in with the tides and takes it out.

It might solve a lot of the crazy full moon things where people are going nuts on the planet it might get rid of that. Well, I mean, just think about how interesting it would be to look up at the man in the moon and he's got like a big chunk out of the side of his face. Yeah. Oh, my God.

Oh, man, I think, I just, you know what, if you want to build a nuclear reactor on the moon where you have no place to dissipate the energy because there's no atmosphere on the moon because the escape velocity, there is a special gas. Well, that's exactly it. But you put it on a dark side, you put it on the dark side of the moon where it's cool.

That's the thing, though. Maybe they want to light up the dark side. It's just, it's just some lights. So the moon's tidily locked to the earth. So we only ever see one side of it. But the moon actually rotates. So it does, it does one rotation every time it does a sidereal month. And so because of that, we always see the same face.

Yeah. But there's different face, like all different sides of the moon see the sun at different points. Right? The point is there's nowhere to. Almost a rocket scientist. There's nowhere. So you have to have a certain mass to have sufficient mass in a body to have a high enough escape velocity that the atmosphere can't escape. Because like if you just, if you just released a bunch of canisters of oxygen on the moon,

there isn't enough mass there to keep them from just floating off into the vacuum. And so there's nowhere for the heat to transfer because everything's in a vacuum. And I just, I, if China, it's just a bad idea. And I say I can't think of a better country in the world to go give it a shot. Toronto is getting a congestion czar to oversee traffic and gridlock issues in Toronto. So, uh, swap immigration. Boom.

Stop immigration. Who's going to build the new roads they need if you stop integration? Fuck, we got all kinds of people walking around like zombies. They could do it. Just stop giving them phone. I'll give them a shovel. Well, it's funny you mentioned immigration.

So the institution. for Canadian citizenship is putting up these posters around Toronto advocating mass immigration. And so they've got these guys who are just blithering idiots, just comically representing how stupid the resident Canadians are for protesting immigration. So they have Regina 1902. Look, Ukrainians in their wheat. What are they trying to do? make Canadian agriculture, make Canada an agricultural superpower.

And the funny thing is they've got round bales in the background. The first commercially available round baler was made in 1946 or 1947. So they didn't even care enough to actually get this. Like it's an an anachronism is what it is. Toronto, 1947. Italians, all they do is build homes and open restaurants. Yeah, food wasn't meant to taste that good. And then across Canada, 2025, immigrants are clogging up the ER, especially the nurses.

Now, here's the important thing. If you do that same government of Canada search, Institute for Canadian Citizenship, $38,000 in 2010, $6.2 million in 2015, $8.87 million in 2020, 2015. another $2.3 million. Again in 2015, another $2.3 million with a very slight difference in ending numbers. $643,000, 2013. And then in 2020, you have two matching ones for 8994-1114.35 and 994-115.25 for the French version of it. This is a government agency.

This is it. This is the same thing we were talking about before where the people who get paid by the government put forth the government stuff because the government can't do it themselves. You see it in the states all the time too. Other goofy news. This is Shaq

shitting his pants on live television. Oh no. Yes, I said that correctly. The other thing about Kauai is you know, what I... You're right, big fella? Yeah, I know. Catch it a crap. Go ahead. Keep talking, Jack. Yeah, we're on TV.

I'm not what we're doing. Go ahead. Yeah, that's that olive oil you've been drinking. I know. Hey, take some matches with you. So live television, Shack gets up in the middle of it and does a hurried little walk to the bathroom. That guy just sharded himself. He pulled a Joe Biden. Now, this is, I just, I kind of want to just show this whole clip.

This is Elizabeth Warren trying to do a long-form podcast. And this is why they don't do these long-form podcasts. Do you regret saying that President Biden has, had a mental acuity. He had a sharpness to him. You said that up until July of last year. I said what I believe to be true. And you think he was as sharp as you? I love. I said I had not seen decline. Oh my God. And I hadn't at that point. You did not see any decline from 2024 Joe Biden to 2021, Joe Biden? Not when I said that. You know, the thing is, He, look, he was sharp.

He was on his feet. I saw him. Live event. I had meetings with him a couple of times. Senator, on his feet is not praise. He can speak in sentences, is not praise. All right. Fair enough.

Fair enough. Look, it is, the question is, what are we going to do now? Oh, no, yeah, good turn. Hey, hey, just time out, time out. So who's that girl on NBC, the one that hates Trump, all about legacy media? Great tomato. Could be. It's a female black hair short.

She keeps her cut real short. Yeah, kind of looks like the order of the Dallas Mavericks. Yeah, she might have been a goalie at one time when they didn't have a goal in ass. Yeah. So anyways, she had to go on a podcast because people aren't listening to Legacy Media. She had to go to a podcast and tell people that they shouldn't listen to podcasts. Like, and trying to get back to everybody should come back to Legacy Media because we know what should be talked about. Yeah.

But we are the gatekeepers. Yeah. So they had to go to the podcast to tell people to stop listen to podcasts. and listen to me on Legacy Media. Like, I just, I don't get it. Why couldn't you just make that same statement on legacy media?

Why, why won't that? Exactly. Exactly. And that just goes the same for that lady that was on there, that senator, whatever her name is. Elizabeth Warren.

She's not going to do that on CNN because nobody's fucking listening. The look on her face, though? On a podcast. Oh, my God. Her face when that guy has. if he was as, if Joe Biden was as sharp as she was? Oh, man.

Yeah. Yes. Okay. All right. Well, let's get, let's move to something slightly less gay. Struggling Pride Toronto Festival gets $350,000 in funding inclusion from the city. Is that Chuck Pranick back there? In the background?

No, no, no. No, no. It's, it's just a look-alike. It's. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry, Chuck.

I thought that was you. Jack, we would have to have you on this week. It's too bad he couldn't make it. Why, is that the parade? Yeah, get to the parade. Oh, yeah, yeah. This is actually, yeah,

if we go to the live fee, we could actually have them on. Call in, John, I feel bad. Give us a Sidre up and what's going on there. Yeah. Like rainbow flag camo.

Anyway. That's what he wears in his underwear. It's a hate crime if you leave a black streak on a crosswalk, but it's okay if you do it to your own gay pride get, right? So anyway, they had basically most of their major funders had backed out. This had been covered in a previous iteration of the mash-up under previous management. And so this is kind of an update to, because none of the actual private companies are interested in giving them money.

So now they have to get government money to continue with it. This is good. I don't know if you saw this or not. This is, I'm just going to play this for you. Okay. So even better. Okay. So I would like to read your colleague.

well now yeah that's course the fucking yeah what what well just just quick recap

so this is this is a tranny and so she's getting a little bit upset because this Republican senator is not apologizing well now that's course the fucking

yeah oh this tranny heronatory and yeah Yeah. Of course the fucking area. So anyway, you get them sufficiently triggered and they forget to do the voice.

Yeah. Then they turn into a man again. I'm surprised he didn't jump down there and punch her out. I mean, it's okay because, I mean, it would just be a girl-on-girl fight, right? Now, I don't know if you remember the wax my balls, lady? Do you remember this? A couple years ago, there was this. dude who was also tranny went into a salon in Vancouver that did Brazilians for chicks

and got mad because they wouldn't wax his balls. Oh my God. They're like, yeah, we don't do that. Who even want that? Uh, anyways, I carry on, carry on. There's, there's issues. There's, there's issues there with that person. Anyway, got arrested for, um,

illegal concealment of a taser or something like that a little while later down the road, a few legal issues. And now this same person is saying that they are Cree and that they are now Cree. And so it's just it's it's a grifters are going to grift and this stuff never goes away. I don't know if you listen to Jordan Peterson when he was talking about how just when the opportunity presents itself, the parasites arrive, this is that. And she's talking about... It was awesome.

You saw Jessica Simpson and Regina? Well, no, no, Jordan Peterson. Yeah, okay. All right, that makes more sense. I thought maybe you were going to end up at that parade, too. Yeah, so she was talking about how Pope Francis is now dead and making it about herself and her newfound Cree heritage. But yes.

So for those of you who don't know, Pope Francis died. And on a completely unrelated note, there are millions of children in Africa with AIDS. Now, this is the new leader of the World Economic Forum. Klaus Schwab stepped down. This is the new WF guy.

Is that a wax mannequin? That is the actual person. Former CEO of Nestle, who said that people do not have a right to water. Oh my God. Yeah. So this is the new leader of the World Economic Forum with his laser bond villain eye.

And other things in goofy news, Grant here. If this is about the oilers, I don't want to hear it. Okay. All right. Well, just tune out for a second. I'll do the talking. You can come back in a second. I'll rudely interrupt the whole thing.

We can pass by this. Why are you doing this? No, no, no, no, this is important. We need to talk. We need to talk about what happens. So it's part of the heritage. Like back in the day, when the mashup first started, we used to have this host who was a big fan of the Oilers. And so we needed to talk about what was happening with the Oilers, what was new and exciting in the news of the Oilers.

And even though he's no longer here, we still maintain that tradition. Okay? Too. Don't fucking jinx our game today, motherfucker. fucker. Like just be conscious. We were meeting on the 9th of May. Okay.

You better start pushing away from that pootene table. All right. I'm going to be doing all kinds of push-ups. Grant Fier. Grant Fier's Twitter account. Exciting news, Oilers fans. After 35 years, I've resigned with Pepsi to bring you their iconic

Pepsi Cola in orange and only in Edmonton. Check out Pepsi Canada to find out how you can get your hands on one. Pepsi Canada, Edmonton Oilers, Edmonton Oilers. And then here's a picture of Grant Fierer wearing an Oilers jersey with his orange Pepsi. And you know, I'm,

and I think it's great. It's great. They're drumming up support for the Edmonton Oilers. I just think it's weird that he signed with Pepsi after he spent most of his famous years being so closely aligned with... Oh, come on! Oh, man.

You had to go there? Oh. Oh, why? And so that's it. That's it. But here you go. We got some happy news this week. Here's happy news.

This Toronto speed camera earned millions for the city. It's just been axed for the fourth time. Longtime fans of the mashup. We'll remember that we keep covering every instance of that speed camera in Toronto that keeps getting chopped down, buzz sawed down, Sabres saw it down. You name it. And here it is.

Here's a picture of it last time it got down where it got thrown in the lake. This thing is the Chumba Wamba of speed cameras. That's hilarious. And you just, you really got to appreciate the resilience of, of the bureaucracy and how they refuse to let the fact that this thing keeps getting chopped down and cut down and throw it in the fucking lake. They're like, no, no, we're going to bring it back. We're going to bring it back again. We're going to bring it back. And so anyway, for those of you who really like this one, which got also graffitied, I might add.

Yeah. It got chopped down again, folks. Good, good. Damn right. So yeah, that's it. Now, community notes. What's your community note? Who my?

Yeah. Well, what's going on here? Well, on the third of me. May in Regina, we have an indigenous war memorial being put in Victoria Park. So I've served with several native and Métis soldiers. When I grew up as a kid, my grandfather had, you know, had there was all types of people in our community, but everybody would gather in my grandfather's yard and we all played together. I didn't know the difference between a native kid or a white kid.

We're just kids. And we all played the same goddamn games. And it was just, it's just natural for, like, it wasn't a difference between us. And when I joined the Army, thank God I was in really good outfits. And in those really good outfits, I worked with some really good native people and or Aboriginal people, what the proper political term is. And so now we're, we're putting. putting up a special

memorial for them in Victoria Park on May 3rd coming up coming up here and it's going to be a great thing and if you're around Regina come and see it it's going to be a good thing

so unveiled on May 3rd and then open to all in perpetuity afterwards yep yeah I'll be there proudly for everybody to see right where our set of tough is for for the soldiers of this country that is that that could have almost been the happy news too oh it is happy news yeah absolutely and then the only other things that i have to add to that are monday if you're going to watch the election watch
